Week 6 Optimism Check
Alas, our favored football team (the Chiefs) has finally experienced its first bitter sip of reality in this, the 2017 NFL season. And it was quite bitter indeed, as nearly every team member, from coach to player, performed dreadfully more often than not. Perhaps a more well-fought loss wouldn't have provoked such misery as many of us felt today, but as it happened, we have fair cause for introspection and reassessment.

Thus, I ask you: are you still optimistic about the Chiefs' chances this season?

As I see it, these are our reasons for optimism:
  • It's just one game.
  • We're still 5-1, which is pretty good.
  • Hunt, Kelce, and Hill continue to be excellent playmakers.
  • Despite his worst game of the season, Alex still made some big plays down the stretch to keep the game close.
  • The defense shows a lot of resilience and clamps down when it needs to.
  • Our OL is getting healthy.
  • While our WR corps is thin, Robinson got open a lot today, and with time could become a key contributor.
  • The Broncos and Raiders both lost today, and we're in control of the division.
  • We have the HFA edge over the Patriots.
  • The hardest part of our schedule is already almost over.
  • We'll be fine.

And these are our reasons for pessimism:
  • The run defense looks terrible.
  • We've suffered a ton of injuries, especially to the OL and WR corps.
  • We struggle to put our big playmakers in position to make big plays - whether due to bad scheming, bad play calling, or bad blocking (as in the case of Kareem Hunt, who has been running into brick walls in the first half of the last couple games).
  • Andy Reid still makes Andy Reid decisions when the pressure is on.
  • The entire coaching staff seems slow to make adjustments in-game.
  • Despite making some big plays down the stretch to keep the game close, Alex also missed a ton of throws and overall had a really bad game that could indicate that he's regressing.
  • We have to travel across the country to play a desperate rival on almost no rest, so this could be the start of a losing streak.
  • The standards are higher now. Anything less than a Super Bowl would feel like a disappointment, and even an AFC Championship appearance would be the flimsiest of consolation prizes.
  • We'll probably have to play this ****ing team again in the playoffs.
  • Becuase Chueeueufs.

So, where do you stand? Also, feel free to add more to either list. Thanks.

The defense will be our undoing. The pass rush is non-existent during most stretches.
Mark my words.

MARK THEM WELL!!!!!

Somehow we are ranked 13th in points allowed but 27th in rush defense and 24th in pass defense. Bend but don’t break!!

Still a contender. I'll check my optimism after the Raiders.

It's 1 game. Oline was awful, Smith was bad, so was the defense. Pittsburgh still needed a lucky deflection to win. Still the best team in the AFC. Onto Oakland.

Man, that was one of the most devastating bad breaks I can remember. And yet... we were still in it at the very end, which is pretty wild. Sigh.

I want to believe, but I just can't. I know the Chiefs too well. Even if we make the playoffs, another heartbreaking loss is in the cards.


Same old Chiefs.
