I liked the loss to the Colts

Not that I liked losing, but I saw some things to draw hope from.

1- Vastly improved team play overall.

2- Defense looked like it had a clue

3- Offense was opened up somewhat

4- Rookies looked good for a first game

I thought overall the team played much better than preseason. Maybe Gun was playing that badly to set low expectations. [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]

Defense held the Colts in check pretty well. It was shaky at first, then Kurt actually made some adjustments that seemed to help. Take away the Grbac interception for a TD and let Alexander catch the ball and you have a whole new ball game. (on paper we would have won 21-20.) If we continue to improve at this rate by mid-season we could be a threat. I really liked Wesley and Dennis did well as well.

First unit offense moved the ball (considering all the drops) pretty well but the O-Line didn't open many holes for TRich. I say to Gun feed TR the ball 20-25 times a game. Let him get a rhythm and punish the other team.

The rooks looked good, the Cat can play and I think with some seasoning and a high draft pick (just in case we tank this season.) We could make a move for a Drew Brees or a good RB and be very strong next year. Hope it doesn't come to that but next year could be sweet. I love the youth movement! Anyone else like it??

Still I dream of a cold frosty day probably too far away when the Chiefs are still playing football in mid January
