I would think chiefs nation would be jumping for joy that they had a chance to win this game at all. If my memory serves me right, 2 months ago everyone was saying that they will start off pretty mistake prone and aweful and slowly improve over the course of the season. If they improve from here like everyone thought they would from the start, they should be pretty good by week 10 or 12. As far as Croyle, it is what it is. We could have drafted the kid from Michigan (Henne?), and now we would be bitching that he couldn't stay healthy. That hit would have separated most guys shoulders. It'll suck to have to use a number one or two on QB next year, but that may be the case. My point here is that this young team showed alot of moxie and alot of promise from what most thought. This season will be more fun to watch than most of us probably thought. Enjoy it for that. Our team is 2 years away anyhow, and most realistic chiefs fans knew that going in,.
