Chiefs tore it up after abandoning the run...

My day sucked, of course, not unlike yours I'm sure. After watching that embarrassment of a Vikings loss to the Panthers, I was all geared up and raucus at the sportsbar when the Chiefs v. Chargers and Denver v. Philadelphia games began. I have to say, there was a noticeable difference in the excitement of the game for me once Priest was injured and they seemed to realize that the run game wasn't gonna get the job done. Suddenly, Gonzo and Kennison came to life and started being able to do their jobs! Trent did much better, too... but they waited too late. I got that old foul taste of Martyball when the Chiefs opted for 3 points, down by so much... and though the QB fumble seems to be the game ender to me, I don't fault Green (given all the circumstances). He gave it a good old Montana-esque try... and he's still the man for the job in my book. Still, I hope that even when Priest is healthy again the Chiefs will start opening up the passing game. I think that they will finish out the season well, so long as they reserve the heavy running game approach for teams like Tampa Bay or The Ravens.

All in all, though they lost and Denver won... I'm still happy that the Chiefs gave me an interesting game to watch. I'd rather have them lose this one, to diagnose the offense early in the season, that to lose later when it really counts.

What say you?
