Arizona was a Defining Moment

I'm not putting much stock in the Pitt game -- I'd love to, but the Chiefs always have issues playing there, no matter the team or coach. Something about that city ...

To me, this season has already gone better than expected after Trent went down. Not sure if it's coaching, playcalling, an underrated backup, or what, but they guys are all doing a helluva job considering the circumstances.

And the defense has it's moments of utter stupidity, but anyone who says they aren't that much better are on crack. The two TDs Leinert threw weren't to slouches, but to two of the top pass catchers in the game. And I'll take as evidence of the D's resurgence the 0 TDs in Denver over the 2 TDs in the desert from a hyped-up QB who was brought back down to earth for the remainder of the game.

Don't get me wrong -- I'm still not sure Herm's the man after he lost his players last year. But that game last week showed me something I haven't seen in 5 years from the Chiefs: toughness.

Kinda nice to have some of that back ...
