The Chefs will be no worse off without Larry Johnson who was released yesterday. The good news is that when you are at the bottom, there isn't far to fall. As I predicted a couple weeks ago, Larry crossed the line this time by calling out his coach and twittering derogatory insults, calling members of the press "fags". Larry was within 76 yards of getting the Chef's career rushing record from a class act named Priest Holmes. Chefs fans are smiling everywhere knowing that Larry won't get that record.
Sunday's game was more of the same. The Chefs looked hopeless for most of 4 quarters, but scored 2 touchdowns surging to within 3 points when Jacksonville began playing prevent defense. The game was not as close as the 3 point margin of defeat. Jacksonville, who handed Tennessee their first win of the year a week before, thoroughly dominated the Chefs on Sunday. Tampa Bay also won Sunday bringing the Chefs back into contention for the #1 pick of thte draft. The Chefs can again say that "nobody is worse than we are".
As most games this season have gone, the Chefs have a special ability to make anyone they play look like a Super Bowl contender. The only bright spot was the running back by committee that averaged 5 yards per carry as compared to Larry Johnson's 2 yards per carry for the season. I still believe Larry will catch on somewhere, probably in Oakland. He will do well and extend his career by at least 2 years.

hard watching a team lose, and lose, and lose.
ReplyDeleteIt's not so bad anymore. I am starting to enjoy it. If you can't be the best (and nobody can be for long), you can be the absolute worst which will also get you noticed. Hey, that could be the new Chef's motto.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately the Chiefs aren't the worst. Oakland has that distinction.
ReplyDeleteRemember that Oakland beat the Chefs once this year. They play again on Sunday and I am picking the Raiders.
