LIVE BLOG: Chiefs v Bengals 3rd Quarter

Third Quarter

15:00

Good news: The Chiefs are a terrible second half team. Wait that’s bad news… ON WITH THE SECOND HALF!!!

RAMS UPDATE: Rams 14, Falcons 17. I truly hope Atlanta sits all of its starters in the second half. Please, sit your starters.

14:57

DeAngelo Williams: 143 yards (15 carries)
Chiefs: 50 total yards (51 penalty yards)

Tyler Thigpen is a fantastic 5-14 for 38 yards. The good news is that … ummm … well, I haven’t figured that out yet. I’ll get back to you.

I just heard on the radio that Herm Edwards press conference tomorrow is scheduled for 11:30. This is much earlier than usual (especially for an end of the season press conference). There is speculation that Herm will resign at the conference. Silver lining.

13:27

The Chiefs blitzed all three linebackers and failed to get to the quarterback. God our pass rush sucks.

12:47

JARROD PAGE!!! He just destroyed Cedric Benson. Seventh round…

12:01

Have I mentioned that the Bengals have 23 players on IR (NOT including Carson Palmer) and T.J. Houshmandzadeh and Chad Johnson are not active today? Oh, I didn’t know I had. Sorry about that.

With that said, first down Bengals. (19th first down of the day.)

10:25

It is times like these that I am glad God invented beer. And, yes, God is an inventor – I know I’m sooo controversial.

9:38

Derrick Johnson REALLY needs to work on his hands this spring and summer. He just dropped an easy TAINT (interception for a touchdown).

8:54

The Bengals have a mere 16 sacks this season (three more than the league record for fewest sacks). With this said, they still have 7 more sacks than the Chiefs.

8:09

The Chiefs finally make the Bengals punt for the first time today. Of course, the Bengals down it inside the five.

RAMS UPDATE: Rams 14, Falcons 24. If both the Chiefs and Rams lose, a coin toss will determine who has the 2nd overall pick in the draft. The more I think about it, what really is the difference between the second and third overall pick? Half a billion dollars in signing bonus’?

6:40

FIRST DOWN CHIEFS!!! Granted, Bowe pushed Leon Hall to the ground before he caught the ball (a penalty should have been called) but who cares. LJ follows that up with an 11 yard run. Back to back first downs doubles our total first downs for the game. We still have fewer yards that DeAngelo Williams though.

5:13

Bowe has caught about 345345 short screens in this game (actually that number is about five) and, after the three yard loss on this one, I hope it is the last catch he has on a screen in this game.

5:01

Tony Gonzalez makes his first catch of the game. He needs 11 more…

3:08

Chiefs punt. Again. Ugh.

51-yard punt by Colquitt goes into the endzone.

2:30

Cedric Benson just now returned from his hit delivered by Page. Sweet.

1:39

Holy crap the Chiefs force a three and out. Robinson returns the punt. Every time he touches the ball I’m convinced he is going to fumble. He hasn’t – yet.

Now seems like a good time to tell you that the Packers and Lions are tied at 14. Calvin Johnson has two touchdown catches.

Williams has 155 yards rushing.

STL is still losing.

:42

I would respect Dhani Jones a lot more if he wore a bow-tie during games.

:00

The Bengals get a sack, only they needed to cheat to do it (facemask). Maybe the Chiefs should look into that cheating thing…

One quarter remaining in the Chiefs season. COMEBACK BEGINS NOW!!!
