That is one thing that I noticed (minus Surtain). In years past I used to watch the Chiefs play and think that they looked slow as hell compared to the other teams. For the first time....it actually looked like they could keep up with teams, speed wise, last night.

The dude is slow and old. I'm assuming the only reason he didn't cut like all of the other older players is 1. He makes too much and 2. We needed some form of veteran leadership in the secondary.

Yes, it was. And it was exactly what Cunningham was harping about in camp- they're not wrapping up. These guys are going for the big hits and interceptions rather than making solid tackles and batting down the passes. The Bears' first TD should have been batted down, and I saw several big hits that didn't end up as tackles (however, Flowers did lay a really nice hit on a Bears WR that popped the ball out of what would have been a pretty big completion - he was definitely impressive for a rookie).
Maybe it's nerves, but that was horrible Bear's offense last night. Gun still has time to get through to these guys, but so far he hasn't. Hopefully it improves in a hurry. |

That's not even funny as a joke. Huard looked like a statue in the pocket, meanwhile Brodie is making great passes in tight coverage, moving around and making things happen.
Still we got to keep Huard. Even as a statue he looked like a decent back up. Thigpin doesn't look like he belongs in the NFL. |

There was almost NO QB pressure, YES we will miss JA. Dorsey can only get so much pressure up the middle but if he garners double teams then maybe it will free up Hali or somebody. One note that I didn't see mentioned was Croyle's audibles...he seemed to do a nice job, he looked in control and not scared like last year. It was nice to see them ADJUST at the line instead of trying to run up the middle against an obvious 8 man front or something.

Just finished watching the game for the first time.
Thoughts: Anyone who says Croyle didn't look good doesn't have an objective bone in their body. Christ, I would have taken just getting past midfield on the first drive as success - instead, we drive 81 yards in 16 plays and take half of the first quarter doing it. Offensive line didn't look all that bad. The penalties HAVE to stop though. D-Line was atrocious. From starters to 3rd stringers. Players that impressed: Croyle, Savage, Cottam, the WR corp and Barth. Players that disappointed: Morgan, D. Williams, entire DL corp. |
