Don't jump off that bandwagon just yet...

Fellow planeteers –


We Chiefs fans have a well-earned pessimistic outlook with respect to the performance of our football team. While the loss yesterday may have taken the wind from our sails, there is still reason for hope going forward.

Worry not, for even the mighty 2000 Ravens that this team is often compared to, lost four regular season games, was the fifth seed and even gave up 36 points in one game. That team went on to win a Super Bowl. This defense might be even better. They faced the vaunted Denver offense and gave up 27 points despite being left on the field quite consistently and often defending a short field. Further, I strongly believe that this team can beat Denver at home. Hell, this game was a few breaks from going KC’s way even in Denver.

Now the offense leaves quite a bit to be desired. Probably even moreso than the 2000 Ravens offense. I still believe, for that the talent is there for an average offensive output. Charles is probably still the second best back in the league. You have talent in Albert/Hudson/Asamoah/Fisher on the offensive line. And you have Bowe and Avery on the outside, and they are not inadequate. Alex Smith is Alex Smith. But look at that and tell me you can’t contrive some form of success from the running game with this group. I can’t be sure why we are not seeing better results, but I am sure given the available talent there, we can get more from the offense.


The point, my brothers (and sisters ), is that there is hope for the future. For the remainder of this year and in years looking forward. We should not lay down as fans at the first sign of adversity. We should not cave into our blood-tinted and pessimistic view of the world. We should pick ourselves up and have hope. For the most important thing I realized after the loss, is that the Chiefs still control their own destiny.

I hate losing to Denver, but I'm grateful as **** for this game.

No more hiding the hotshit-garbage that IS this offense behind cries of "DERP AND OH, BITCHES(~!)".

Finally.

I wish Reid would stop calling that slant pass to the receiver's feet.

Some people are acting like we just got eliminated from the playoffs.

Great post, everyone is quick to point fingers but we needed to lose to gain some perspective, this team is incredibly young and this has been an incredible season.

exactly.

17 pts against Denver...

1st & gl from the 2...kick a FG.

4th down from the 40 with 10 min left?? punt to Manning!!

and the best Reid the 'offensive guru' can muster throughout the game is a bunch of screens, slants, and draws.

NEWSFLASH : You can't play small-ball against the Bradys, Mannings, Breeses of this league. YOU CAN'T. It gets you lots of wins in the regular season. But not in the playoffs. Not against the big guns. Ask ****ing Marty - what happened to him in the playoffs everytime he went up against Elway or Marino, ya know?? I've seen this shit before...

Young is not an adjective I'd use to describe the team. At all.

[sd4chiefs]

I just want them to beat the Chargers on Sunday.

3 dropped picks is not exactly helpful.

The Demps failed INT was killer.

Since passes hitting receivers in their hands were bouncing off, maybe he decided that feet were the second best option.

I keep wondering about that shit.

Where the **** is the diverse route tree? We have the quick slant, the square in, the drag, the hitch and the out routes.

Where the **** are the skinny posts? The deep posts? The flag routes? The deep comebacks? The double moves?

[Easy 6]

I'm nowhere close to suicide, we lost to a very good team at home.

We kept their point total low and our QB tossed two touchdowns, an unbelievable feat, since our receivers struggle to do just about everything.

The best part of all this, is that we don't have to wait long to set things a'right.

That shit has been driving me crazy damn near all season. It's like we only have five pass plays and we just switch up the personnel.
