Alright, let's do this... where did the Chiefs look good?
 
It wasn't all pain.

Well, it was almost entirely pain.

But it wasn't all pain. There were very limited bright spots, so let's take a thread and man up, and try to enumerate the few positive things that occurred in this game, big and small.

Here are some that I've got:
  • Michael Bennett once again looked really good today. Not only was he agile and fast, but he was impressively powerful as well -- he freakin' plowed a DB in the second half. If MB can stay healthy, LJ's carries will drop almost a century mark this year.
  • LJ had about half a workload today, and his numbers looked pretty good. Doesn't look like he's lost much of a step.
  • Jason Dunn's still got a season in him, at LEAST. Some of the blocks he threw today show he hasn't slowed down much at all.
  • Samie Parker and Bowe performed far above expectations. Parker's showing that he may, JUST MAY be a viable #2. If Bowe takes it from him, however, he's earned the right to remain a #3.
  • I hate the very concept of "left tackle by committee," which seems to be what we did today, but I'll be damned if Svitek and McIntosh didn't do a good job today. That performance dropped dramatically until we got behind, but there you go.
  • Eddie Drummond's returning wasn't good, but he might just be a valuable special teams player on the other side of the ball. He had a fantastic coverage tackle early in the game.
  • Excepting the 77 yard bomb to Andre Johnson (who just happens to be a top 5 WR in the NFL), Page & Pollard looked very good today. Both look good in run support, Page read Schaub like a vet, and Pollard saved a touchdown with a very athletic deflection.
  • DJ continues to excel in coverage. He's elite at that particular ability by my estimation.
  • Alphonso Boone. WHO IS THIS MAN!? The guy played like a man possessed today. Two sacks, a monstrous tackle behind the line of scrimmage. He was a great acquisition this offseason and he's going to be a great influence on the youngsters.
  • Darche doesn't seem to have any problems whatsoever with his snaps that I've noticed. It's up to Medlock now to get a checkup from the neck up.

Darche had one bad snap early in the game, Colquitt saved him.

Are you guys incapable or just unwilling to find the few bright spots on the field this afternoon?

Chiefs still rock.

Question? How many times is Benny Sapp gonna step in front of Drummond and return the ball this year?

Introductions were first rate. Our guys looked like football players.

I thought Derrick Johnson had an excellent game. He's going to be good this year.
