A word of caution !!!!
 

It would be easy to get to enthused from this game, remember we crushed Atlanta last year and we were still a bad team defensively.

We appear to be improved but history with this team tells me not to get overconfident.

2nd our offense only looked good in the first quarter and we looked pretty weak thereafter.

We have to get healthy or we could lose to Oakland next Sunday night.

Sorry, not even you can throw a wet blanket over this one.

I mentioned this earlier: we started the 2003 season with a 27-14 shellacking of the Chargers at home. Dominated them on both sides of the ball. We all remember how that year ended, and what kind of D we fielded.

I'm making myself keep that in mind....

Sunday will be a test. I want to see the same attitude and intensity. I want to see the same hard hits. I think the Raiders may be a team you can make quit if you get to them early, and Collins is the perfect kind of statuesque, fumble-prone QB to attack with the pressure with which we hit Pennington.

Moss will get his yards. He'll probably score. We can win despite that. And handily.


Worry about it tomorrow, though. Tonight is party time.

TJ is that you? :p

That is true. You can not get too high over one win or too low over a loss. But it was a beautiful way to start!

If we could pull out 1 win in the next 3 weeks we're in good shape. If we get 2 I'd be exstatic.

Absolutely :clap:

BS...The planet is all about implosions and explosions of emotion. :drool:

Very true, Vlad. As a matter of fact, just to keep my enthuisiasm in check, I plan to write this first game down as a loss. I know our defense will eventually **** up. I mean, what we saw today couldn't possibly be seen as improvement. It's just a mere mirage.

WE'RE 0-1 & DOOMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DAMNIT, CARL! :cuss:

I agree, but we also finished 13-3 in 2003. I'd take 12-4 or 14-2 (for the sake of jinxes, not 13-3) into a home game at Arrowhead against Indianapolis, or anybody for that matter, with this defense. SD was 4-12 in '03, and I'm willing to put money that NYJ won't be a 4-12 team at the end of this season. Yes, we dominated the season opener in '03, but I don't see the two games as comparable.

That is not what I mean at all, today's game was wonderful, but so was the Atlanta game. In fact I don't think other than the Super Bowl win I have ever experiened a better win than last year's Atlanta game. Pure joy for 4 quarters. Just want people to realize that it could all go poof if we don't get healthy and admit I am still worried about this offense as it only looked good for one quarter. Actually at least the D looked good until we lost Surtain then we looked lucky as hell.

I don't see anyone saying we're the Steel Curtain defense..we're just exicted over an asskicking win

A lot of reasons to be concerned about the D. I think the near shutout was as much a product of the Jets sucking ass as us being better. They dropped a ton of passes, not to mention being unable to snap the ball. That being said, the run D looked greatly improved. I'm not doing cartwheels yet, but they did look a lot better.

I'm as jaded as anyone when it comes to the Chiefs but I'll bet my house that we're right in the middle of the NFL bell curve, if not better, on defense.

Sammy Knight (props to hits on calling this one) looks like a field general out there and that is EXACTLY what this team needed. Anyone who has ever had to supervise should know that attitude runs downhill.

Derrick Johnson and Bell are only going to get better baring injury and Warfield comes back in 3 games.

No Super Bowl prediction by any means but it is nice to see some D on the field again.

A.......that last drive..................
 

, you know, the one that the Chiefs rode the back of LJ? Damn impressive! LJ shoved that TD up the Jets ass!
