Chiefs Much better than expected - Page 11

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 didn't say the single most embarrassing play ever, I said one of.

Sorry it is late. I don't know even if it is one of. It seems like I have seen a similar like play happening to this team the last 2 years at least.

It's not like the Chiefs are Idaho State going up against Oklahoma... theoretically they are supposed to be an NFL team. That is why I have a hard time with "moral victories" after losing by 2 TDs (and I don't care that the two TDs came in the final few minutes).

It would be nice to see the Chiefs get back to being competitive again so that a 14 point loss will not be acceptable.

The Chiefs were dominated all day. I wanted to see the Chiefs do a couple things this year which would show something for the future...number one the defense atleast has a ok pass rush, number 2 they get off the field on 3rd down, number 3 they atleast show some semblance of the ability to run block and run the ball.

I'd say defend the run but I don't see that happening with this personnel on the field.

Again, I don't necessarily disagree. But for the Chiefs to be in this game, against that team, that late in the fourth still means something to me.

Hows that different then every other season?
