    Chiefs win on the road!

    Eagles D was shameful last week

    And Alex Smith makes few mistakes. Chiefs have weapons

    Yeah i agree with you, went with the under as i only have one bet per game, it was a toss up between unders and the chiefs +3.

    So 5 more wins for Kansas City and the 49ers get their second round pick next year. Great Trade.

    Great Trade for both teams.

    Considering Kansas traded a 2nd for Matt Cassel, they are doing a lot more in return this time around.

    I really hate that kind of trade. Theoretically, if they were 7-8 going into week 17, and the playoffs were out of the question, would they really not tank that last game?

    The players certainly wouldn't do that, they are always playing for their job, or perhaps their next job. They certainly don't care about the team's picks in the next draft.

    Im sure after 2010 leading them to playoffs with 27tds to 7ints KC would have been very happy with the decision.

    I guess you're right. He was very good that year but very average overall.

    Could happen to Alex Smith too. This year might be a flash in the pan but Smith seems to have a better resume pre-Chiefs than Cassel did.

    True enough I suppose. They'd want to get a guarantee that they'd be keeping their job though, which is never easy if you've failed to make the play offs. In the meantime, more defeats would make it more difficult to get another job elsewhere. But I'm sure it happens at times

    Agree with that. I was just pointing out that its a bit early to judge (& bit harsh on Cassell) Personally I would have kept the pick & taken Geno but I guess with the talent they have on the team they are in win now mode

    Doing a bit of reading up on NFL records and found out that the record for the longest field goal is 63m. 4 players hold the record, but the first one to do it was Tom Dempsey.

    So what I hear you say. Well, look at his right foot. His kicking foot.Tom_dempsey.jpg

    :eek: That is unbelievable. I mean how do a couple of hundred kids break into a house and neighbors don't notice or call the cops? Couldn't believe when I read about some parents threatening to sue him for posting the pics of their children. I mean...hello! Your scumbag child is breaking the law you idiot.

    the kids posted the pics themselves is what makes it even crazier.


    Lol some are claiming it'll ruin the kids chances to get into college, if your super intelligent child puts photographic evidence online of themselves committing a crime I think that nest egg for college tuition is safe

    I would say that would give you hope for humanity, but I think we all know that parent is in a very small minority.

    No, he was born without any toes on his right foot. His teammates called him stumpy.

    With all the talk of running backs not sticking around in Cleveland... Peyton Hillis has been released by the Bucs.
