Much better than expected
You can't really be happy about a loss but the Chiefs clearly exceeded expectations.
Our defense was decent, especially if you take into account that the Ravens threw at Leggett ALL GAME LONG. You put a healthy Flowers back in and it's better. Our special teams were solid outside of the one bad kickoff and one bad punt. Kudoes to the Rook for a 53 yrd field goal on his maiden NFL outing. New Tightend Ryan showed up Derrick Johnson showed up even though he was only in there during a pass coverage package. Tank Tyler showed up and looked like our best Dlineman. Vrabel was an asset even though our Linebackers look to be a major weakness in coverage. Our coaching was extremely conservative to start out but got better. Brodie Croyle didn't break and didn't throw scared either. Nice. ![]() Our main problem is still the Oline ... i can't decide which is the bigger weakness, Center or Right tackle. Niswanger is almost always Failing in one way or another. Missed block, weak push,getting road grading all the way back to the QB. ![]() LJ failed to impress (insert Oline blame here) overall not too bad considering we were playing a team with one of the best defenses in the league who many consider to be a legitimage Super Bowl contender. If the team continues to improve throughout the year it might not be such a painful season after all. Haley is still a jerk ![]() but if he's a successful jerk then it's all good. ![]() |

I guess you missed the part where the Baltimore Ravens, of all teams, put up 38 points and more than 500 yards of offense on the Chiefs defense. What's worse is that the Ravens continually shot themselves in the foot with penalties, dropped balls and a missed field goal.
I am most certainly glad we don't play the Saints this year. They might put up 1,000 yards. No kidding. |

They didn't move the ball throwing on Legget all the time...Mason didn't have a big game, Clayton had a big catch but his game wasn't huge either...
The Chiefs got roasted with Heap and the RB's out of the backfield... |

If you add up all the screens including the 2 that got called back, they had roughly 200 yards off of screens.

Heap and the running backs combined for 14 catches for 140 yards.

In the first half that is incorrect. 2nd half that would correct

On the plus side, it sounds like we're going to have a very content, happy fan base this season, which is cool.

Vrabel in his post game comments indicated that they thought they would run more and when they went play action so much, they had a tough time getting into coverage. This will be a problem all year with teams with running tendencies. they can exploit that all day.
See: Pittsburgh NYG SD I'd say Oakland, but their QB sucks.

The Chiefs only gave up 500 yards defensively. The Chiefs had nearly 200 yards offensively. WIN!!! Oopps, I mean loss. |
