Chiefs Much better than expected - Page 5

Mr. Laz · 09-13-2009, 06:53 PM

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.

Who the **** says anybody is content? You think if they go out ang give up a shit ton of yards next week people will be happy? We lost what 7 games by 7 or less last year. Who was ****ing content? There is a big difference between being content and acting like it's the end of the ****ing world.

That's the problem, some of you geniuses have no middle ground. Period.

Personaly I think this team is worse than last year if that is possible. The ravens made just enough mistakes to keep us in the game but it was anything but close.

Umm if you cant see giving up 500 yards to the Ravens isn't good then I question how much you know about football. It looks like Gailey wasn't the only cordinator who should have been fired. Reguardless a loss is still a loss wether its 14 points or 30 points. Thing is this team has lost so many "close" games it really doesn't matter what the score is. There isn't anything you can build off this game from other then Brodie Croyle can play a whole game and Mike Brown is better then Bernard Pollard.

You know, there are probably a lot of things to nit pick on in this game. But we all knew this makeover is going to take a year or two. So why not enjoy the fact that even though our team did not win a game we were not suppose to win... much less even compete in... we showed something we have not showed in a long time. Heart.

Probably the thing that scares some of you all more than anything is you predicted only 1 to 2 wins maximum this season, and this game scared you because you can see we could actually win more.

Time will tell. You all may be right. We may only win 1 or 2.

But enjoy the fact that our team came within a whisker (the TD play with 2 minutes left) of having a possible chance to do what no one thought they could do, and that was to win a game in Baltimore.

if we don't beat the raiders we have the potential to start 0-5, so I doubt he is going to change in a few weeks.

Again, who is content? You dodged the question.

I hope I see a positive change but from what I've seen in the pre season and today we won't even be competitive this year.

I like you Laz, but that was a terrible take on the defense.

I agree that next week is a big game for the moral of this team but hey lets just act like we already lost the game.

being tied with 2 minutes left in the game isn't being competitive? If that isn't competitive I don't know what is.

Titty Meat · 09-13-2009, 07:54 PM

The defense sucks because it's a 3-4 defense without a good noseguard and of course no pass rush. Then add the fact the linebackers sucked in coverage and thats a team that will give up 500 yards of offense. Leggett isn't a starting CB neither is Brandon Carr.
