Worried: Someone tell me why we won't get murdered by Atlanta.
 

Our D might well end up a good one as the season progresses. But I'm very very worried about the first game. Not just to lose, but to lose discouragingly big.

1- Our DL while solid has not shown signs of wreaking havoc in the opponents' backfield. Yes I'm told that's the style of 34 Romeo plays. But wait....

2- Without Tamba Hali Ryan will have all day to throw, especially considering point 1.

3- The thought of Roddy White, Julio Jones, and Gonzo, against our depleted secondary stresses me to almost puking.

This is gonna be one of those games when we see passes completed against our D with scary consistency. The only way we have any chance to win this is if we can manage long time consuming run heavy drives that would keep the Atlanta O on the bench for the majority of the game. Maybe that's why Daboll was emphasizing the run in the last preseason game so much.

Tell me something hopeful.

You will.

Take a Xanax

We have Matt Cassel.

You mean our depleted D (no Tamba, Flowers, DJ, and Lewis hurt) and 1991 offense isn't filling you full of confidence against a team that can score pretty much when they want?

I'm reminded of how we were going to get murdered by San Francisco.

Shrugs shoulders

we will not get murdered by atlanta because they are not killers. they may wound us very badly, but they will not murder us.

why can't we win?

Atlanta sucks and are a bunch of chokers.

As well, Gonzalez will be burdened with much remorse and longing in his return to Kansas City, and will secretly meet with the Chiefs coaching staff at an undisclosed KC BBQ joint, giving them Atlanta's playbook that he wrote in succulent BBQ sauce on a napkin.

Or, in channeling the ghost of Hank Stram, Daboll goes retro and plays the wishbone with Charles, Hillis and McCluster the whole game. Not remotely knowing how to defend such a formation, Atlanta's defense crumbles and the Chiefs set a single game NFL rushing record.

Or, Cassel and McCluster form a symbiotic, telepathic bond, enabling them to be one single, fabulous football entity, perfectly timing every single route, providing the Chiefs offense with first down after first down, not punting once in the game, and dominating the clock and scoreboard.

Or, Matt Ryan's head falls off right before the coin flip.

It's going to be Week 1 Buffalo at Kc v2.0

Their offensive line sucks.

Their defense is soft and looks like the worst tackling defense in the league.

They have no MLB.

They have no safeties.

Ryan chokes in big games.

He's 0-2 when starting the season on the road.

The Falcons have never won at Arrowhead.

Remember when Frankie ruined the season last year by posting some crazy shit before game 1?

Then Berry ****ed up his knee.

Goddamnit.

Only thing I can think of is Charles and Hillis going off and keeping the Atlanta offense on the sideline.
