Flowers and Carr are above average CBs, and Page and Pollard had demonstrated a hint of promise. LB was an obvious weakness.

On offense, Bowe was looking like an emerging star, and Albert had a very solid rookie year. Most of the more knowledgeable posters on this site hated LJ and were calling for Charles (and a host of others) to be getting far more carries.

Your outside perspective is, frankly, not very informed to the details of our team. This is understandable because my knowledge of the Bills, for example, is fairly shallow.

But the difference is that I'm not over at BillsPlanet preaching from the rooftops.

You seem like a thoughtful, intelligent poster, but you've overplayed your hand with the Pioli defense (which I know you'll claim it's not) and analysis of the Chiefs.

Jesus.

If this were a prize fight, it would have been called rounds ago.
