Lighten up, Rudy.
Besides, Bad Taste is Timeless!

Yeah I'm off the McCluster defense bandwagon. Love the guy, but he's not doing much for us except for keeping guys off the field that could possibly make more plays for us.

Ahhh....
But did McCluster's muffed punt help save the game? The offense had to travel further. Forcing the Eagles to burn their 3 time outs.

Bow Down to the McCluster

He looked like he took out all the aggravation from whiffing on that block last week on the dude he lowered the boom on this week.

He lit some DB up last night in pass protection.

He also trucked the shit out of another DB. It wasn't quite the hit he laid on Claiborne but it was nasty nonetheless.

And "Our offensive line sucks." Blah blah blah blah blah….
I'll get to some of that in a minute. People…..HELLO, THIS TEAM IS 3-0. They've already won more games than all of last year. They have not lost a road game. I swear to God, there's a pocket of Chiefs fans that will never be happy no matter what. They're the kind of people who would win power ball, and bitch that the winning ticket gave them a paper cut.

Not to play debbie downer in your thread, since there's already one for that... but, out of that group of people, even though some may actually never be happy and do just want to complain, there's also a group who have seen this several times and know how it's always ended.... and to those people, it's not all about going 3-0 (which is nice), it's about making noise in the playoffs, or at least knowing they can make noise in the next year or two with who they have now.


After watching so many games over 20+ years, regular season wins are nice... they're like going to Worlds of Fun and enjoying the view on a nice day from the ferris wheel or riding the Viking Voyager. But, I've been on the Viking Voyager 800 times. I'll still go on it, but riding the Mamba without throwing up at the end would be really fun.

Would you rather be 0-3 and end the suspense now?

Hey, nobody expects a 2012 two win team to be 2013 Super Bowl Champs. All teams have problems. Denver is one hit on Peyton away from being mediocre. Baltimore is having problems, Pittsburgh is having problems. It's more wide open this year than its been for a long time. Only one team can be champs every year, y'know....

Like I said, ..or at least knowing they can make noise in the next year or two with who they have now... and like I said, I'll still enjoy the ride for what it's worth, I just think it's kind of silly to watch the same movie every couple of years and act like you've never seen it each time you watch it. And it's not necessarily all about being the champs, it's about having a legitimate shot... and the overwhelming evidence suggests you need elite QB play to do that.

Comparing anything to last year is a joke, because last year was completely unacceptable... it's like it has always been around here when the Chiefs are at least mediocre.... cheers for being competitive and having a chance to make the playoffs, when at least the former should be a pretty basic expectation when you're spending time and possibly a lot of money to watch them play.

But, I'll stop... last night's game was fun. It's the first time in ~3 years that I actually looked forward to them playing a favored team, and to leave with a victory is pretty cool. The defense is legit, and if the offense can develop into one that can at least take advantage of the gifts, they'll be fun to watch, too.

This is absolutely right for me. I want to be happy. I have no reason to want to bitch about something I love and that is to win games but I want to win in the playoffs and have hope that we can win a Super Bowl. Alex Smith does not give me that feeling of hope right now. I want to see better play out of him and see more out of our offense to score touchdowns that we can enjoy to celebrate more of to give our defense something to defend.

I'm happy we are 3-0 but am holding reserve on too much excitement until playoffs~ p p playoffs? Just happy to get a win. Jim Mora

I see where you are coming from. I also see why the buzz over this squad and coaching stuff is justified. This team isn't the 2010 team.

To point #3, Albert didn't have a clean game, but he only actually gave up 4 or 5 pressures, and when the Chiefs commited to running the ball in the 4th qtr, it was Sherman, Swartz, and Albert that were leading the way.

Those 3 guys were blowing up their man, creating holes for Charles.
