Chiefs Final thoughts on preseason - Page 8

**petegz28** · 09:54 PM

This team just looks better. Just all around, even our suck is better than our suck in years past. You can tell we have a staff of coaches that know wtf they are doing. It's refreshing as we haven't seen that since the DV days when you get to it.

Obviously we haven't played a meaningful down yet and you can tell that there is room to improve but I think everyone is getting the sense that we are doing just that, improving. Worst to first? Most likely not but in this division it may not be unreachable.

Offense:
Running game looks rather weak but we were without JC against SF and went against the Steelers the next game. 2 very, very good defenses. So is our running game that bad or were we facing good defenses? Probably some of both.

Smith is going to be the proverbial game manager and if his preseason is any indication of what is to come that can suffice for now. His throws are accurate and receivers aren't jumping, reaching, diving, or sliding to catch passes ala Cassel. Don't turn it over, control the clock, rest the defense. That is a winnable recipe even if it is a boring one.

Tyler Bray......kid is going to be good in 2-3 years. If he pays attention to who he is learning from, we are going to have a bad ass QB.

Defense:
Its on! This defense is getting after it and though it may be a feast or famine defense, it's obvious that the days of Romeo's read-react defense is gone. This is attack, attack and attack some more. I think Poe and TJax are going to take big steps in the right direction this year.

Special Teams:
What can you say? They looked awesome all preseason long.

I see shades of Marty ball coming with a ball control offense, relentless defense and strong special teams. We just replace the power running with dinking and dunking in the passing game.

Against the best defense in the league last year, our offense had 2 bad drives in a half (2 3 and outs). 2 drives flipped field position, 2 scoring drives.

Got to be able to finish drives though, that was concerning.

Hyperbole much.

Tony Romo throws for a shit ton of yards. He has the same amount of playoff wins as Alex Smith.

Do I win the Internets?

If he converts 3rd downs and we score I can live with it. Yeah I want the type of QB you desire too, but for now...it isn't so bad.

the Fg drive.....I don't expect to see that bland of play calling during the season. They clearly were working on the run game.

you mean a qb that can look off targets come back and throw tds? Or one that can roll to his right and make impossible throws that his guy catches? or one that can locate a matchup, and deliver a perfect lob for a td?

I want that too. Luckily the Chiefs have one developing. His name....

BRAY

Aaron Rodgers is my favorite quarterback in the league and if we could get him I'd do it in a second. But they have a shitty running game. He has to throw that many yards.

The last time the Chiefs won a playoff game was in 1993 and Joe Montana threw for 2144 yards. Before you say oh the game has changed Joe Flacco has never thrown for 4000 yards. Trent Green did and didn't win a playoff game.

I don't care about total yards.

Facts are facts: He was 6-2 last year with the highest QBR in the league.

He was QB of a team that was an OT victory from the Super Bowl.

In preseason, he looks to be the same exact guy as he was last year when leading said team to 6-2.

Bob Griese won a Super Bowl throwing for 112 yards.

You need to shut the **** up.

Hes never played in an Andy Reid pass happy offense either.

If he can bring his accuracy and efficiency into it, it wil be successful. I hope he does, it will be fun to watch if he does.

I'm skeptical, but hopeful.
