Chiefs Worried: Someone tell me why we won't get murdered by Atlanta. - Page 6

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.

But somehow, CP will make it out to be "The Sky is falling" if we lose.

my concern is not just losing. It's LOSING big and getting humiliated. The kind that takes the heart of a young team.

I'm usually the first one to agree with this. But this particular negative (the matchup of their super WRs and our mediocre DBs) is a real and ominous one.

Did he make another bet?

Jesus Christ you ppl are pessimistic. I realize Atlanta is probably a little better but they aren't world beaters. They were 10 - 6 last year. Chiefs were decimated by injuries and had to start Tyler Palko for a few games and the Chiefs still went 7 - 9.

Not exactly. The line has grown to reflect where the public is putting their money. By next weekend it will likely be 3.5 or 4.

Regarding the game I don't think they will be able to stop our run game. That opens up screens and play action which we should be able to take advantage of. We have game breakers just like they do. One or two missed tackles/assignments and we can certainly win this game. Go Chiefs!

Just heard that Lewis is not expected to play. DJ is expected to play. Flowers they are hopeful will play.
