My take on the game...

In no particular order:

We do not have the DTs to sustain interior pressure. We have to blitz to get inside pressure and that is a recipe for disaster. The anticipated return of Williams will not, IMO, alter that equation.

Before the game, Vermeil said that the OL is the last thing to gel. He nailed it. Until the OL improves the run blocking, we will depend solely on the pass. Another recipe for disaster.

Pass blocking, on the other hand, was pretty good.

Stryzinski is worth what we paid for him.

Waters was thrust into a pressure cooker and did fairly well, with [2] HUGE exceptions.

A blitzing Defense will get you burned on occasion. There were [2] big plays to Brown and a breakdown on the TD by the FB. I am willing to pay that price, but I was disappointed to see Robinson throttle back in the second half. IMO, that was a mistake.

Patton and Bush can play in this scheme. Both impressed me.

Green looked bad. He only had eyes for Gonzalez. Several times, I saw him throw to a covered Gonzo when I could see Richardson open. He also overthrew a lot for a QB whose main selling point is accuracy. First game jitters, perhaps?

The BB is pretty typical after a loss. Some Enemy Trolls arfing [which is totally within their rights, BTW]. Some Enemy fans talking about the game. Some Chiefs fans inarticulate with despair. Some Chiefs fans taking the defeat in stride and analyzing for good, bad and ugly stuff. I read them all [except for the really childish stuff] and then decide which thread to join.

I saw nothing in this game that surprised me. Big plays killed us, which is to be expected in the first game under a new regime. As I have proclaimed throughout the off-season, I am looking for steady improvement this year. I will not panic or despair unless I see the same problems at the end of the season. This is what "rebuilding" looks like, and I have the patience to wait for the results.
