Chiefs Worried: Someone tell me why we won't get murdered by Atlanta. - Page 9

Our D might well end up a good one as the season progresses. But I'm very very worried about the first game. Not just to lose, but to lose discouragingly big.

1- Our DL while solid has not shown signs of wreaking havoc in the opponents' backfield. Yes I'm told that's the style of 34 Romeo plays. But wait....

2- Without Tamba Hali Ryan will have all day to throw, especially considering point 1.

3- The thought of Roddy White, Julio Jones, and Gonzo, against our depleted secondary stresses me to almost puking.

This is gonna be one of those games when we see passes completed against our D with scary consistency. The only way we have any chance to win this is if we can manage long time consuming run heavy drives that would keep the Atlanta O on the bench for the majority of the game. Maybe that's why Daboll was emphasizing the run in the last preseason game so much.

Tell me something hopeful.

I think this has been said like maybe 45 times in this thread.

They then signed Luke McCown who did not play in the final preseason game. Rumor has it, some offensive players are unhappy with the new Offensive Coordinator. My hope is, this creates a distraction with the Falcon's offense.
The Falcon's offensive coordinator for 2011 is now the head coach for the Jaguars. John Parker Wilson was signed to the Jaguars practice squad on Saturday.
The Falcons primary backup is an undrafted rookie. The 3rd string QB is McCown. Take out Ryan, game over.

What rumors are you talking about? Not saying you're wrong, but everything I've heard as a Falcons fan following my team closely is how much the players love the new OC.

Tell me one thing Matt Cassel does better than Matt Ryan.

Keep in mind Matt Ryan is compared to Peyton Manning in his football IQ.

Your a Falcons fan? Yess. Me too.

I moved to Kansas Shiitty because Atlanta was getting expensive to live in. Atlanta is my favorite team, KC is my 2nd.

When I move back to Atlanta, I might drop being fan of all KC teams since they all suck. Im already a Kentucky and Alabama fan. TEAM SEC baby!

Kentucky basketball and Bama football I'm assuming.

Good work front-runner.

Chiefs can easily take this one. Falcons struggle on the road and have lost in two straight openers. Losing Hali and potentially Johnson (one of my fav lb's) is huge. The Falcon's have receiving threats but don't have adequate time to give them the ball. If Chiefs fail to generate pass rush it could be a long day for KC. On offense I expect a ground and pound attack from KC using Hillis and Charles. This worries me, with the loss of our run stopper Curtis Lofton can the young 2nd year MLB Akeem Dent fill in adequately? As a Falcon fan my ideal situation would be to take an early lead therefore prompting Cassel to throw into the Falcons secondary which is a strength of our D.

At the most Falcons may win by 10 but I don't think it will be a murder by any means. If there is any sort of lead (Mike Smith) "Smittyball" will ensue after halftime where ultra-conservative plays will be called.

Put Berry at CB for the first game and have Daniels and Abe at safeties

Chiefs Pantalones · 09-02-2012, 03:22 PM

It's obvious that Atlanta on defense is going to try to do what any smart team would do: Stop the run and force Cassel to beat them. That's going to force Cassel to try and make some plays in the passing game. I don't know if I'm necessarily confident in that. And it's going to likely happen. There is going to be times in this game where Cassel IS going to have to be a QB and go through progressions and find his targets like a QB is supposed to do. If successful that will (in turn) open up the running game. Both the passing game and the running game have to play off of each other and help the other out. Sorry fellas, Cassel is going to have to make some plays for us to win this game and we do have the talent around him to help him do that. We'll see what happens.

On defense it's simple...kill Matt Ryan.
