Chiefs at Philly 'Live' Blog (2nd half)
By: SCUBA
Didn't have a chance to catch the first half.... I realize now, that may have been for the best. Cassel started, Dwayne Bowe is inactive and the Chiefs are getting smoked.
Halftime Score:
Chiefs 7
Eagles 24
Now lets get back to the game....
Chiefs coming out of the half have already been stopped and given the Eagles the ball back.
Eagles are charging hits Eagles rookie and Missouri alum Jeremy Maclin for a first down.
Eagles ball 1st and 10 on the Chiefs 26.
9:46 left in the 3rd quarter.
Ealges with the ball, 3rd and 4 at the KC 20. Kolb in shotgun....overthrows Jackson in the end zone.
Eagles will attempt FG....38 yard try....kick is good.
The beating continues....
Chiefs 7
Eagles 273rd and 1 Chiefs ball on the KC 41. Cassel in shotgun....QB keeper loses a yard. Chiefs will punt. Chiefs fake the punt! Direct snap for a first down!
2nd and 11 handoff to Larry Johnson....fumble. Chiefs recover....sweet what else could go wrong for the Chiefs?! Astonishingly this is the Chiefs first turnover of the game. This is going to be a looooonnnnng game for Chiefs fans.
3rd and 3. Eagles ball on the Chiefs 46. Kolb in shotgun misses Maclin and the Eagles will punt.
WR reverse to Bradley, good for a 23 yard gain. Chiefs first down on the Eagles 49 yard line.
3rd and 14 after a pass interference penalty. Cassel in shotgun...draw to Charles for a gain of 4. Why wouldn't you run a draw play when you need 14 yards and you're in the middle of the field and you haven't been able to run against this team all day?!? Chiefs will punt.....again.
4th quarter 12:03 left. 3rd and 1 Eagles ball at their own 42. Vick hands off to McCoy...stuffed short of the 1st down. Eagles will punt.
3rd and 1, Chiefs ball at their own 24 yard line. Cassel in shotgun, incomplete to Wade, overthrew him. Chiefs will punt. Out of 10 possessions thus far, this is the Chiefs 6th 3 and out.
2nd and 7. Eagles ball...handoff to McCoy for a gain of 15. 1st down on the KC 35.
Kolb hit Celek for a 35 yard TD pass. Chiefs are getting zero pass rush and we're letting a backup QB pick us apart.
6:43 left in the 4th quarter.
Chiefs 7
Eagles 34
3rd and 10. Chiefs ball on their own 20. Direct snap to LJ for no gain. I hate to say this but Haley's playcalling has been crap so far. Another 3 and out and the Chiefs will punt again.
Things have gotten so far out-of-hand that Kolb's day is done and Jeff Garcia will get some snaps.
Jeff Garcia takes a snap....bad exchange Garcia fumbles it. Chiefs ball on the Philly 20 yard line.
3rd and 12....check down to Charles for a gain of 7. Chiefs will go for it. 4th and 7...Cassel to Copper for a gain of 8. First down.
2:00 warning
Chiefs 7
Eagles 341st down and goal.....Cassel to Wade for a TD! Good effort after the catch by the newely acquired Bobby Wade.
Chiefs 14
Eagles 34
1:54 left in the game.
Eagles will kneel down and put an end to such a ugly game for the Chiefs.
FINAL:
Chiefs 14
Eagles 34
Game Notes: I've said this all 3 weeks now...the offensive line needs serious help. The defensive line also need serious help. We don't produce any pressure and we allow pressure all day. No team can win like that. It all starts up front. Also, we will most likely start seeing Larry Johnson start to get phased out of the offense. Look for Jamaal Charles to starting taking over more carries.
