Marcus Peters is back
 

I'm sure this won't embed because it's NFL but here's his highlights, good to have him back. 2 int's 1 FF strip. but still tackles like a girl.

Best player on our defense.

Hell of a game.

If we can Tard-wrangle both Kelcee and Peters for our playoff push we might have a chance...

IMO, his most impressive play was the third down stop of Travis Benjamin short of the first down marker in the red zone! I didn't know he had that in him? But "Bravo"

IM glad he is back playing better but the first highlight was almost a major **** up, they are damn lucky the WR didn't catch the ball they tipped right to him in the EZ.

The first INT looked like he was fielding a punt that wasn't a skill play by any means then he runs around holding the ball extended in one hand like an idiot.

Ragland actually punched the ball out on the fumble.

2nd INT was a nice play.

"I CAN tackle!"

Yes, we knew you could.

Now do it consistently...

I agree 100%, he actually made two tackles last night if I remember correctly. One was a hard hit. :clap:

He is as good as there is when he wants to be, no one ever doubted that

I was so pissed while watching that play. If Peters is covering in your area, and you’re an unathletic white guy, just get the **** out of the way. Dirty Dan cost Peters a 3 int night.

Nice to see his head back on straight on good football. :clap:

And honestly, it hit the WR in the hands...

Agreed! That was the best sign, a 100% effort, fairly physical play to help the team make the stop. That was the Peters we all fell in love with. Welcome back.

Ragland didn’t punch ball out, Peters stripped. And LOL at the INT not being a “skill play”. So he did nothing to read and get in position? Then he runs it back for 60 yards or so but he’s an idiot?

Sorry, but your take is bad.

Where are all the big mouth know it alls that want MP traded???

I’d listen to offers.

Banging your mom behind the dumpster at Wendy’s,

That was Dans ball, Peters interferred with him

I always took her for a McDonald's kind of gal

You’re trying too hard.

The first play Sorenson’s dumb ass got in his way, which was a theme for him. If he doesn’t do that we might be talking about Peters having 3 INTs last night.

If Peters isn’t actively stripping that ball then the guy doesn’t fumble. It was a combined effort between Peters and Ragland.

Give credit where it’s due.

That ball was coming out before ragland got there

I’m here, and was very critical of MP’s effort this season. Didn’t want him traded, but definitely wanted him to get a wake up call. Reid delivered, and Berry seems to be mentoring him. Best case scenario last night, and if you’re any kind of Chiefs fan you are wanting to see MP here and playing hard for the team for years to come. The guy is a special talent, and as good as he decides to be. Unfortunately, as always with uber talented players, the opposite is also true.

Can't figure out how to upload the image. But Peters clearly strips it before Ragland gets there. I'm not overly crazy about going for the strip over the fumble. But c'mon, man. The last replay it's clear as day that Peters is ripping the ball out.

Sorenson was in full dumbass mode last night I'll give you that.

I want All Pro Peters back as much as anyone and he was around the ball all night last night.

I thought it was great to see his teammates surround him on the sidelines. And Peters trying hard to pump up the fans. It looked like Peters loved playing the game again and that's a great thing. The INTs were great, but what was even better were multiple pass breakups. Keenan Allen has been carving corners up all season and Peters made him his bitch last night.

If we're being fair, Peters didn't tackle great. But I don't think he was avoiding tackles like we've seen in the past. He made a pretty big run stop in the backfield earlier in the game and his 3rd down tackle in the 4th quarter may have sealed the game. That was encouraging. I don't think he's a cancer. His teammates seem to love him. He just lost himself and to his credit, he found himself. What can't be denied is that when he's at his best, he's one hell of a talent.

This is just stupid. First off it was Sorenson that almost had the pick, Peters is the one that knocked it away. Secondly, you always make a play on the ball when possible to make sure it isn't a touchdown. Sometimes weird things happen and you tip it into the hands of the receiver which almost happened here, but you never just not try because someone else is there. JFC

BTW if you think Sorenson is unathletic, you really are a dumbass

...looks like the wake up call worked.

He’s still good

So that’s nice

Sorensen and Parker are worthless ****s. Even when they are winning, they are losing. Sorensen in good position on deep pass... breaks up INT. Parker gets a pick in the 4th quarter... loses 14 yards

No he didn't.

OK

Its such a silly thing to argue about, looks to me like Peters got it started and Ragland helped complete the process

Who cares either way? the important thing is that it happened

Does someone have video of this? I swear it was number 25 that made the tackle

NVM saw it, bad ass tackle

Peters' is a useless twat. He's a cancer to his teammates, coaches and anyone he comes into contact with in life.

My son played college ball with his sorry ass. What you're seeing right now is a reprieve from the true person he really is as a human being. The only reason he's being "nice" is for his own well being. That scumbag does not give a rat's ass about anyone but himself.

If you don't believe me...watch and learn the hard way.

Not saying its guaranteed to happen, but people can and do change...

Meh, I hope he continues to ball out like an All Pro but he isn't a good human being from everything I can see and that usually doesn't change without some type of life altering event.

I fully understand I dont have to like every good player on the team.

What makes him not a good human from what we can see?

Good lord

The way he acts towards coaches, fans etc...his history in college.

He acts like a pure selfish asshole. Period.

If you dont see it I dont know what to tell you.

I've known a few cocky, hotheaded pricks who mellowed out with age and maturity

But even if he doesnt come around, I'll be satisfied with continued All-Pro level play

Well, if a guy yelling at coaches makes him a bad human being, I guess about half the nfl is full of terrible people.

His charity work and stuff notwithstanding, I don’t feel that seeing a guy play football allows me to judge him as a human being.

But that’s just me

How many NFL players got kicked off their college team for fighting with their coach?

i have no problem with that. I want good football players, thats all i give a **** about. As long as he's not getting into trouble off the field, he can go up to your face, my face and say **** you, you suck ,and ill be like, just play well on Sunday kid!

Do you know the details of that? I remember reading about it at draft time but have forgotten

So much for easing into the ol CP. Post number 2 and he comes in with the flame thrower.

I don’t have an issue with saying a dude is a hot head or what not or whatever.

But I can’t get to terrible human being based on what he does on a field of football. To each their own.

Feel like it’s become an either or topic

He’s also really really good at football. Being really good at shit let’s you do things others wouldn’t be allowed too

That’s life I guess however sucky it is

125 as of right now . Why ?

I was thinking Peterson talked more about it closer to the draft and it sounded like a different situation but I’m not looking for it on my phone so I’ll go without

The guy does a lot of good shit with kids in the community that gets no press.

I wonder does he pass out switchblades at no cost.

He hands out semi-clean heroin needles.

This missed INT / tipped pass with Sorenson told me more about his attitude change than anything else in this game. He didn't throw a tantrum, didn't get mad at his teammate. Just helped Sorenson back up and the two of them recognized an opportunity lost but that a good play was still made. Hope he keeps his emotions in check the rest of the way, he deletes 1/3rd of the field for opposing QB's when he plays like he did last night.

This has been Peters throughout his career. He goes for the strip instead of the tackle.

Thing is, he has typically been pretty successful the previous seasons and has gotten praise.
This season he has been ridiculed by looking like a "pussy" because he hasn't been able to pop the ball loose.

He is basically of the D. Sanders mold. (Although not as good yet).

Yes, it would be nice if Peters did BOTH things well, but all players have their pros and cons.

Show the gif of him playing matador to the running back.

Deion did the same shit.

Cons: That is bad.
Pros: He causes a LOT of turnovers (proven by statistics).

I guess you can weigh the two and figure out what you think is more important in a game.

If you have a WR that was putting up all time great numbers in a category such as TD's, but didn't block worth a shit downfield on run plays, would you want him cast off the team?

Randy Moss?

^this^

Those of you saying he tries to strip instead of tackle - that may be Ok if he wasn't waiting 5-7 yards before he attacks the runner...

Those of you who think he will resign with the Chiefs are delusional.

Those of you who don't think he's a cancer or won't be in the future are delusional.

We should trade him if we can get a 1st or a high 2nd... because we will either have to franchise him, or he gone....

As long as he doesn't get in trouble with the law you can be as big as a dick as you want.

Let's not get too excited here. Phyllis had a horrible game and made it very easy for MP as well.:shrug:

Keenan Allen has been one of the most dominant receivers in the league. He certainly didn't make it easy for MP. Rivers had a horrible game because his receivers were blanketed. It's just one game, but it's hard to believe the lengths some people are going to discredit the performance. It was a dominant performance.

Quack

Quack

Quack

I'm curious what the Chiefs would have to do to have a dominant win...I mean, when we're awesome, in the eyes of some, it's because the other team just sucked.

Considering we're only awesome vs. winning teams it's a reason to hope.

We all know how hope is used as a barbed wire wrapped baseball bat to beat us into ambivalence...but it's there...

Well. I mean, apart from just about every part of this post being factually inaccurate, I guess you've got a point.

Sorensen had the spatial awareness of a toddler most of then night. That's a pick if Dirty Dan just stays the hell out of the way. To whatever extent you're trying to criticize Peters for having perfect position for a red zone interception, I guess you're going to have to explain to me what else he could've done.

Ragland didn't punch that ball out. Peters pulled it out and Ragland delievered a hit as the ball was coming free to ensure that the WR couldn't pull it back in, but that was Peters that created that fumble.

On the first interception, you realize that wasn't Peters man, right? Parker was on him and Peters was covering Allen. Peters read the play, saw what was happening and peeled off to provide the support that made that play look worse than it was. Peters did a great job diagnosing and tracking that ball.

Do better next time.

I wonder if he’s picking up anything from Revis. I know Revis is past his prime but he’s probably one of the best guys to learn new techniques from at that position.

My buddy and I always said that you could tell the kind of game Sean Smith was going to have through one simple test - is he dancing during breaks? When he wasn't feeling it, he had a very 'businesslike' demeanor out there or he just seemed tuned out altogether.

But when he was fired up from the opening kick, you knew he was going to wear his guy out.

The entire damn defense was showing energy during breaks that we haven't seen all year. They were waving arms to the crowd, psyching each other up, yelling, dancing, just otherwise looking fired up to be out there.

They seemed to realize that this was essentially a playoff game and they were excited to be there. It was a massive change.

I don't care what his political/social beliefs are. I might agree or disagree but I honestly don't care.

I don't care if he's flashy, emotional, or controversial. His personality might make him the most or least popular Chief. I don't care about this either.

If he costs the team due to what he does ON the field I do care. If he draws penalties, throws fits and draws penalties after the play, and hurts the team I do care.

Last week he was perfect. I don't think he had a single penalty, he had two INT's, and no after play drama. He was exactly what we wanted.

He keeps playing like he did last week and the worst of the haters will come around...

Sadly, the biggest haters hate peters for reasons that have nothing to do with football. So i think there are quite a few who will take a very very long time to come around. You can already see the lengths people are going to discredit his play on Saturday. Even if peters plays with the same energy and focus, prepare for the next few weeks for every single small mistake to get picked apart as if hes terrible at everything. That's unfortunately how things work these days. Thankfully, I do think most fans here can separate football from social views. But the most reasonable voices aren't always the loudest ones.

I still think he's a shit brick.

I hope he ends the season strong so they can get good value for him.
Yes, I understand that probably won't happen but he's by far my least favorite Chief.

I don't really care if he's an asshole or a selfish prick. I DO care that his effort is often lacking and he avoids tackling.

Peters is a ticking time bomb on this team.

Apart from a 1-2 month stretch this year, how often has his effort been lacking? There's no excuse for his recent behavior. But nobody ever accused him of effort in the past. The Peters we saw against the chargers is similar to the peters we've consistently seen in kc. This isn't a randy moss situation where he loafs on half of the plays every game.

well, I guess I'll add his kneeling, tantrum throwing on the sidelines and stupid penalties to the lack of effort in tackling that annoys the hell out of me.

Aside from his 1-2 month stretch ROFL Thats half the god damn season. If I ****ed off half the work year their wouldn't have been any bacon.

Nobody seems to support his behavior the past 1-2 months. But he has 3 years in the books and it hasn't been a problem outside of those 1-2 months. So far it's a one time deal. Not a trend.

He had the issues in college too.

He didn't have effort issues in college. Anger issues and maturity, yes. And he still does. It's a red flag. But it's not the same as uncharacteristic lack of motivation.

they were that way against the raiders too

They didn't seem 'down' against the Raiders, but they weren't that amped up either. They were playing harder, sure. But I didn't see that swagger and general sense of comradarie that they displayed against LAC.

That was pretty cool shit on Saturday.

And if you thought that was nice:

You.....DO realize how much Peters LOVES his Mahomie, yes?

Yes.

So much better on the way. Almost immeasurable.

Be ready.
