First time I went to Arrowhead was for the Opener of the 2005 season. Remember 2005. Coming off of the Doug Brien game to end the 04 season, the Jets were expected to contend for the AFC title as were the Chiefs.
Jets kicked off to Chiefs who started at their own 25. 1st play from scrimmage, Priest Holmes rush for 5 yards. 2nd play from scrimmage, Priest Holmes rush for 35 yards. 3rd play from scrimmage, Larry Johnson rushes 35 yards for a TD. 3 plays in. 3 rushes, 75 yards and a TD.
Jets first possession. Pennington is sacked and fumbles but recovers his own fumble, leads to punt.
Chiefs 2nd possession. 12 play 95 yard TD drive. 14-0
Jets 2nd possession. Pennington loses a fumble. Leads to Chiefs FG and 17-0 lead. Game over.
Pennington would go on the fumble 6 times in the game -- losing 2. The 6 fumbles tied an NFL record. He also threw a pick.
Chiefs would go on to win 27-7. The Jets only points came with 30 seconds left in the game, a TD pass by Jay Fiedler after Pennington was pulled.
And to think, Pennington's performance in that game would still be far better than what I got to see out of Fitz yesterday. Great time hanging out with a few JetNation guys and a bunch of Chiefs fans in the parking lot before the game, but once it started. Wow. Deja vu, all over again. What made it even worse yesterday was that, somehow, we were still in the game until Fitz threw the pick #5 -- the pick 6 with 4 minutes left. The Chiefs did everything they could to give us the chance to win, and we just sucked so fucking bad that we could not take advantage. Time and time again.
Next time the Jets are in Arrowhead, I am going nowhere near that place.
