No running, two wins, think Gunther is confused or learning?

After this game at Denver, I have to admit I am a little concerned about our running game, but we won the game and I think the KC staff has to be realizing that this team can win without focusing on the run to set up the pass. So I think this is a blessing in disguise for a number of reasons.

1. If the paultry display continues ...Maybe the almighty Carl and company will realize that RBBC is overrated and we may finally get a legitimate RB !!! (I am Ok with a few more games of pathetic running as long as we win and keep throwing)
2. Gunther may be forced to realize that it is not the run that is making the passing game good, but it is the passing game that is making the passing game good (It may even set up a few 5 yard+ runs [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/tongue.gif[/img] )
3. When all is said and done, the coaches may find that a balanced attack is far better than all pass or all run !!
4. This team seems to gain more and more confidence every game in the passing department, and ultimately we will have gained the ability to come back in more games. It is a lot easier to make up points when your team is a passing team, than when it is predominately a running team.

So I say let's look at the positives of not being able to run the ball. We are forced to throw the ball.... and we have the players to do it, finally !! Anyone want to add a few more points?
