Larry Johnson has never not had a 100 yard game against the Broncos, it seems. On that 65 yard run, tackle Damion McIntosh was so happy that he began celebrating for Johnson....as the latter was caught from behind and tackled by Champ Bailey and Dre Bly. Despite Johnson's dominace, The Chiefs still couldn't punch it in the endzone and the wretched Donkey D managed to hold them to field goals. It wasn't so much that the defense held the Chieffs...it was just that the Chiefs really were that inept. For one half, at least. That effect didn't last long, as two Donkey fumbles and two Jay Cutler interceptions continually gave the Chiefs a short field to work with. Sure enough, KC made it look easy and tallied up 33 points in all. The Broncos had one final chance to recover and on-side kick, but Spencer Larsen barely missed the ball and the Chiefs were off to frolic like the tools they are.

Cutler seemed to keep his compusure, though. On the opening drive of the 3rd quarter, he threaded a pass to Eddie Royal delivered with such precision that nobody else could have caught it. Cutler made his mistakes and took his lumps, but it finally looks like he's taken over the QB slot. It seemed that the position was handed to him in late 2006, but now he appears comfortable and in command of the offense. Despite fumbles from Eddie Royal and Brandon Marshall, Cutler still had faith in his receivers. Even in his worst game of the season, Cutler didn't come out smelling too bad.

Ask Chiefs linebacker Demorrio Williams (brother of DeLuigi Williams) about Cutler. With the Chiefs standing at 33-19 in the final minute and the Donkeys racking up some Garbage Yards, Cutler was forced to scramble for a first down. After Cutler slid, Williams came over and shoved him. Pissed off at no penalty flag being thrown, Cutler got up and pushed Williams to the ground with both arms. Williams sold the move like any good punter would... but this was a cool little middle finger from Cutler to Williams. When asked after the game about Williams, Cutler said: "I don't know who that is". When told it was the guy he shoved, Cutler responded: "I still don't know who that is".

It reminded me of a Guy Who Used to Sell Cars (and quarterback the Broncos). In one particular game against the Raiders in 1991, this Guy dove head-first into the endzone, bowling into a Raiders DB (I want to say it was Eddie Anderson). Anderson and that Guy had heated words and got in each other's faces. No less than Howie Frickin' Long came over and jumped in that Guy's face. But that Guy never backed down...and got in Long's face. Suddenly a pampered goofball from California gained a shitload of fans (and one asshole fan sitting in the South Stands) that day.

While a miniscule incident like this might make fans notice, it was of no perception to CBS announcers Dan Dierdorf and Greg Gumbel. They were completely clueless about the game and the general NFL. On several occassions, Dierdorf was shocked at how Denver was not pounding the ball on the ground...something they haven't done this year. Dierdorf later expressed concern and horror in his usual hollow, psuedo-sympathetic tone over Chiefs tackle Branden Albert going out with an injury to his leg. Turned out, it was Albert's elbow. When the game opened, Gumble proceeded to introduce half of the Chiefs' defensive line, when in fact it was the Broncos' defensive line on both the field and television chyron. While TV signals may have upgraded their video to HD, the audio is still stuck in BS.

Games in Arrowhead are usually a skull-fuck for the Broncos and this was no exception. A trip to Arrowhead is like passing a kidney stone: it's no picnic and you feel a lot better after it's over. So to the Chiefs: take your victory, you dancing jackasses and proud members of the most Overrated Franchise in NFL History. This loss might matter to the Donkeys in the standings, but this win won't matter to you at the end of the season. Might make the Chiefs 6-10 instead of 5-11.

Chop Blocks
..||.. Not that I'm looking forward to next weekend's game against the Bucs... but I have never wanted them to beat an opposing QB this bad since the days of Joe Montana. I want Fried Griese Nuggets as halftime snacks. I want that shitty, leadfooted, tunnel-vision QB's head dropkicked through each upright.

..||.. T-Mobile has another ad about dropped cellphone signals. In the latest, a mom frets about the change in birthday plans for her little kids: instead of Freddy the Dinosaur, they ended up with T-Rex. I don't get it. A rampaging dinosaur would would make ANY little kids' birthday party kick additional amounts of ass.

..||.. There's also a Twix ad about taking a pause before you say something stupid. A guy is at a party, drinking beer and trying to pick up some hot chick and flubs it. So the ad implies that he should stop and have some Twix with his beer. Wait... TWIX with BEER?!

..||.. Saw that the Chiefs had a guy named Mike Cox at fullback. I swear I once heard him paged at a mall, along with Mike Hawk and Mike Hunt.
