I am also very satisfied with where we are right now. The biggest thing that I see in this team that I like is that we are hanging around in games and then we are coming back to win. Add to that a very solid looking QB in Elvis and we may just continue to surprise a lot of teams.
I think that the Oakland game is a defining game for this team. With a strong win this team will make a statement to all the nayesayers. What will the experts say if the KC team they picked last,(as usual) beats their favorite AFC West team, the Raiders.
With a win a number of positives come out.
1. Early AFC West Division advantage.
2. More confidence (4 straight)
3. One up on Oakland, Denver, and Seattle.
4. Continued positive growth (Elvis, DA, CAT, Tony, D and hopefully some positive RB action)
5. Rookies gaining valuable experience every game (come from behind wins are like extra credit on EXAMs)
6. Winning is a good habit to have in this league (Hopefully we got the tough losses out of the way)
7. Confidence for big Interstate game.
And in the back of my mind is that St. Louis game. I do not believe that a loss here is the end of the world, but I also believe that KC will give these guys a fight. A win will have all the experts in a tizzy and they may have to give this team credit.
And what a statement a win against St.Louis would be. I for one hope that we are healthy and on a winning streak going into that game. Our best against a down to earth St.Louis team (with at least two major turnovers). All you St. Louis fans that are just itching to talk smack remember, we are the underdogs in this one and on ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, a small band of Chiefs, playing with heart can beat the best of teams.
A KC win against Oakland would make the Rams at least have to be sweating it out in KC. If Oakland can hang with these guys, I am sure that we can too!
Arrowhead will be rocking for this game either way! Can't wait. I think turnovers will be more important in this game than a lot of people would believe. Maybe this will truly be the coming out party for the KC offense. Here is hoping!
