Don't tell me that man! Fuck no, not again!

Ok, looks like Eddie got signed to the practice squad.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

How bad is it?

Looks like his bell was rung. 2 guys helped him walk to the locker room.
No knee or ankle, he hit his head against the hip of another Chief.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Fuck dammit! Is out for the rest of the game/playoffs?

I bet rest of game. Unless Chiefs fail early, I bet not season ending.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

I detest Alex Smith, but I absolutely LOVE watching Luck getting crapped on.

Looks like the chiefs are done. Choke.

And here the chiefs defense was supposed to be good and getting starters back...

There's always a lighthouse. There's always a man. There's always a city.

Well, then they started dropping like flies.

Looks like Packers/Cowboys all over again. The Chiefs must've done something to anger the football gods

#EPICFAIL #KCMELTDOWN. It all went to the shitter when Flowers left the game.

I feel bad for Andy Reid...I like that guy for some reason. Good season for the Chiefs though, considering where they came from. I don't feel so bad about Andrew Luck shredding us in the OB..that guy is a gamer for sure!

Onward and upward

Yea, he played well, but a good QB should be able to beat a secondary with 3 starters out. Other than Eric Berry, the secondary was absolutely terrible after the injuries.

Now onto the other teams with Hokies, Iggles and Ain'ts (feat: Graham, MV7, THE Roc Carmichael).

DO'H!!!! ROC kicked the ball into the endzone...

I presume he won't be seeing ANY field time for the rest of the game/playoffs. Well fuck it.

Roc came in for Carey Williams (I think) and was immediately picked on to give up a 3rd and 12 conversion. I'm not sure he'll be around next year unfortunately :(

Well fuck. He was one of my faves too.

Hokie Shayne Graham for 3.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Shayne Graham sends the Saints on to the next round as time expires. Nicely done.

Since when does this matter to us?

Edit: About the Mountaineers, that is.

There's always a lighthouse. There's always a man. There's always a city.

He was referencing how Shayne Graham saved our bacon by kicking the game winning field goal over the Mountaineers with three seconds left on our way to the NC game

Eddie Royal had 1 catch for 33 yds in the Chargers' win over the sucking Bengals.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Had a nice jet sweep run as well.

In Sam Rogers we trust.

Missed it. I'll look and see if I can find a highlight for next week.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

Trent Dilford doesn't know who Eddie Royal is.

He was talking about "dimes" and discussing Phillip Rivers' nice throw of the game to ER.

"Look at his eyes, looking off the safety getting him to break inside to cover Gates and he comes back to hit uh, to hit..the receiver down the right sideline" ~ this was kinda paraphrased but that's the gist of it

do'h!!
