Chiefs Much better than expected - Page 2

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.
