--It's only preseason and Gun and Co dont put much emphasis on winning in preseason
--Gun has always said that preseason was used to evaluate talent not to win
--The games dont count.
--The Chiefs are not going to 'show' any of their offense when the games dont count.
--No game planning is done for the opponents by KC
--It's only preseason and Gun and Co dont put much emphasis on winning in the preseason<BR>

Sure you want to evaluate your people, But like George Patton said"I don't give a hoot and holler for people that lost and laughed" Meaning it didn't really matter. I know it doesn't but winning sets the tone for the start of the season. I just hope to hell their trying to lull everyone asleep.

I see that point, and quite frankly, my confidence is wavering. I have to believe that this team can play better than that or else we're looking at a 4-5 win season.

I dont think we're that bad, and Im not saying we're going to win 10-12 games either.

It's just not the end of the world yet...yet.

I honestly don't think we've seen what the offense can REALLY do yet. The sweeps and counters are just experimental. I really think we're going to get to see a bonafide inside/out running game this year, with Cloud and TRich in the backfield. I can't wait to see it.
