There were some good things. Most notably we did not get completely obliterated by Jacobs, which I fully expected. If you stack up the run defense from yesterday and compare it to Carolina and Tennessee from last year, major improvement. Jacobs got his and we gave up some, but given how NYG runs on everyone, I was pleased.
Got pressure occasionally, but nothing to affect a series. Coverage had some really nice bright spots, but Steve Smith was typically WIDE THE **** OPEN. Not making contested or difficult catches, WIDE THE **** OPEN. I have no clue what was going on. Our safeties blow. Boss hurt us some, but not as bad as I thought he would. It could be that our LBs are better in coverage than we anticipated or they didn't look his way because Steve Smith was typically WIDE THE **** OPEN.
Cassel played like ass. He got hit a lot and was always under pressure. Always. I only remember one time where he got protection (on a 3 step drop) and threw a perfect ball. He overthrew DBowe twice. It looked like Bowe wasn't full speed. Wade biffed a WR screen. None of the WRs did...anything.
Albert had a false start. Lots of missed assignments. Lots of getting blown off the ball. Lots of running draw plays, where instead of a hole, there were 2 LBs sprinting into the backfield. Lots of plays where the dude lined up over guard would step through the hole and hit Cassel/LJ right after the handoff. Just horrid line play. Horrid.
Officiating was really really bad. All over the place. Unacceptably bad.
Chiefs players were chippy. Lots of scuffles. Tyler got a personal foul penalty for ****ing with Bradshaw (who also got an offsetting penalty and was running his mouth all ****ing day), when given the opportunity, the D would lay some lumber, Vrable was in the face of the officials (rightfully so) quite a bit. For a team that sucks ass, they are certainly more spirited than anything we've seen here in several years.
