The defense was generally Greg Robinson-caliber pathetic today. No consistent pass rush, and mistackles galore (there were at least 7 mistackles on the Ward TD run alone).
The Chiefs special teams... especially on kickoffs were also shitty. The Chiefs essentially gift-wrapped a start at the 50 yard line for a potent offense with the poorly executed short corner kickoff.
Cassel was solid... but still left potential big plays out there with poorly thrown passes (especially on some of those quick hit passes/screen plays).
Overall I am actually coming out of this game on an optimistic note. If the Chiefs can put together today's offense with last week's defense, they should be able to put together 10+ wins against the likes of Jacksonville, Buffalo, Denver, Oakland, Arizona, Seattle, and St. Louis.
