Maybe we aren't doomed.

Let's look at the positive.

1. The first 25 minutes of the game were actually pretty good on both sides of the ball. With some more aggressive playcalling the Chiefs could have built a lead early.

2. All the defense has to do is learn how to adjust to a change in pace. It wasn't until the hurry-up that the D started to suck. Then when they slowed down the D was actually acceptable.

3. LJ looked great. all they have to do is get him the ball more.

4. Trent might not be as injured as it seems. If he comes back, the offense has a chance at being good enough to win.

Aw, who the fuck am I kidding, we're doomed.

The first quarter could've been a lot better if LJ didn't drop that pitch and Dante Hall didn't try to do a jumping catch with his eyes upfield on that return.

Who knows, we might not have had to play like we had to catch up, Trent might not have gotten drilled, and the game could've turned out differently. I don't think Al Saunders would have done a better job calling plays.

I loved the ol' Gonzo catching a whole slew of passes on the way to a TD, been a while since we've seen that.

Thig Lyfe · 09-10-2006, 02:12 PM

that's true. Those two plays set the mood for the whole game. Get a score on that first drive, don't run up the middle on 3rd and five, and have dante hold onto the ball and you're looking at at least 17-0 right out of the gate.

Marcellus · 09-10-2006, 02:13 PM

We win next week at Denver,take the bye week off,Huard/Croyle beats San Fran and Green returns for the win vs. Arizona. 3-1.

Oh yea, Black gets cut.

TrickyNicky · 09-10-2006, 02:14 PM

It was pretty sad when the commentators were begging Willie Roaf to come back though.

JBucc · 09-10-2006, 02:16 PM

Dante gets next week to redeem himself against his favorite team, if he does this again, get another kick returner.

Right up until Herm calls a run play on 3rd and 5, happy to get the field goal.

Fumble by Dante. wow.

kaplin42 · 09-10-2006, 02:18 PM

All I can say is that Black should have nothing to do with a football. He allowed all the pressure, got burnt so many times and basicaly was inept out there.

Jordan Black should get back to his locker and find it cleaned out. If I was edwards he would have been cut by half time. What a pile of crap on the field he is.

May Treant be healthy and a quick recovery. But even if that happens, I don't know if I want him back in there, just because Black will cause him to be injured to a greater extent.

htismaqe · 09-10-2006, 02:19 PM

There was only one play that could even be considered questionable, and that was the run on 3rd and 5 inside the 20.

The players on the field didn't execute today and that's why they lost. The coaches did just fine with playcalling. Now why they trotted Jordan Black out there...that's something to get on the coaching staff about...

Mecca · 09-10-2006, 02:20 PM

It didn't help that a couple of times Justin Smith basically grabbed Turley and tossed him at the QB....

YOUR AND IDIOT

Everything bad that could've happened....happened. Turnovers galore, Trent going down, the refs screwing us with a few penalties (second offensive pass interference, the Green slide).

I hope the doctors clear Green to play in Mile High. It would be sweeter to win that game than the bitterness of losing this game.

Whitlock just questioned Herm about that call in the postgame press conference. All Herm said was that it was "miscommunication, ill leave it at that"

beer bacon · 09-10-2006, 02:24 PM

Our defense actually only game up 243 total yards and 3.4 yards per rush. Who would have thought we get blown out at home with those stats on defense?

**the Talking Can** · 09-10-2006, 02:25 PM

we had huge penalties that killed our offense...

we have one huge, glaring problem - besides Trent's health - and that is our OL...when Trent has time he can pick anyone apart, when he has to scramble we're screwed...

even though Gunther played Law 8 yards off the WR and let them throw 5 yard outs routes REPEATEDLY, and ran his obvious 8 man blitz twice as if they wouldn't fiure it out the second time you douche bag, our D still only gave up 17 meaningful points...that's not bad, I can see some promise there...

lots of teams have looked like shit early on...for some wierd resean I'm not despondent...we're breaking in a new OC and new OT's...hopefully Sampson or Svitek will replace Black...

I think the defense will prove to have played fairly well when the numbers are crunched...I might be wrong..I am very disappointed in the run up the butt call on 3rd and five in the red zone...and I'm not sure how much we can improve the OL, but remember Shields gets better as the season progresses and the OL haven't had any time to gel yet

there is still hope...and even better, there is schaudenfreude (?): Joke Plunger threw 3 INTs today and Denver lost to the pitiful Rams...

ps

there is an ebb and flow to the season.....trial by fire early and maybe we come out stronger for it....or maybe we collapse..we'll see
