Seeing our first team offense get worked by the 49ers (and their backups) and Steelers, outside of one drive, was disgusting.
Defense was good against San Francisco's backups, and shit against Pitt's starters.

Dude, you're being intellectually dishonest.
The defense looked excellent. Defenses are going to give up points in the National Football League. That's a given. But to hold Pittsburgh's ones, in Pittsburgh, to 10 points, especially after the Andy Reid "Gimme" was impressive.
The Chiefs Two's beat Pittsburgh's Two's. For all of the Chase Daniel "hate", he beat Gradkowski, who's been a starter in this league. Again, impressive.
Special Teams have been extremely impressive. If this continues into the regular season, they'll be a factor in every game and might be the difference between winning and losing many games. A short field always helps the offense.
And finally, you can bitch and moan all you want about Alex Smith not throwing down the field, which is a given. But he was accurate, mistake-free and led the offense to touchdowns, at home and on the road, without the benefit of a strong running game or circus catches by his receivers.
