Is this team better than our 13-3 team?

Hammock Parties · 12-04-2005, 06:42 PM

I think so.

Our D stiffened up in the 2nd half and won the damn game. Furthermore, this team is getting BETTER down the stretch run as opposed to worse, like the 2003 team did.

**DaFace** · 12-04-2005, 06:44 PM

I'd agree with that. We're not killer on either side of the ball, but we're certainly above average. IF we make it to the playoffs, I'm pretty confident we'll be prepared to play after going through this schedule to close out the year.

**cdcox** · 12-04-2005, 06:45 PM

Too soon to say. They win 3 of the last 4, then yes.

Red Dawg · 12-04-2005, 06:45 PM

We are not better offensively but this team is tougher particularly on defense and it takes tough teams to win in December.

siberian khatru · 12-04-2005, 06:45 PM

In 2003 at KC, our D stiffened up and stopped the Broncos twice after Dante's return.

So, I'll let you know after the next four games if we're better or not.

Deberg_1990 · 12-04-2005, 06:46 PM

Ill say this:

This team is peaking in November and December instead of September and October like 2003

Jim Jones · 12-04-2005, 06:48 PM

It's amazing on this board how after one loss the season is over, and after one win we're some elite team.

Well shit the 1997 Chiefs weren't better offensively but they are the best Chiefs team in the last 30 years.

We're a TEAM. We're not one-sided.

Yep, the general membership tends to be very manic.

Frazod · 12-04-2005, 06:59 PM

I'd say about even. What we've gained on defense we've lost on offense. This is the defense we could have won the Super Bowl with in 2003. It showed up two years too late.

keg in kc · 12-04-2005, 07:27 PM

When it's healthy it is. Better kicker, better punter, a different offense that's capable of scoring just as much and a much better defense. I don't think there's any doubt that this team beats Indy in January 2004.

Too bad we don't have the 2003 schedule.

NJ Chief Fan · 12-04-2005, 07:40 PM

i think we have a better balance of o n d compared to '03 campaign, our offense may not be as explosive, but our d can stop teams now...-o- and LJ IS THE ****IN MAN

**DaKCMan AP** · 12-04-2005, 07:42 PM

Too soon to say. We were better offensively in 2003, although the last 3 weeks have looked better. We are better defensively this year. We don't have the kick/punt return TDs we did in 2003. We are starting to peak down the stretch, hopefully everyone remains healthy.

**the Talking Can** · 12-04-2005, 07:46 PM

when we're healthy this team is better....much more balanced...doens't mean we'll even make the playoffs but we are a more complete team

Fishpicker · 12-04-2005, 08:01 PM

much better than 2003 because of the improved defense . Our K and P are much better also.
