Most of think it's hopeless now but those that don't will join the "Hope is Lost." squad if we lose. Balt and Jax will tough to beat.

I think if we had started off strong again this year, there could have been the let down again. Now, they will have to push for every game like it's the end of the season and hopefully that can give them the edge then need to get some momentum built up and keep it built up into the playoffs.

For the life of me, I'll never understand this type of thinking. The statistical odds of making the playoffs after you start 0-3 are not good at all. This isn't a team that has a next year, IMO. This particular team may be done after this year, and couldl be in a rebuilding mode for a couple of years before we can be playoff ready again.

So no, we needed a strong start this year, and certainly can't afford being 0-2 at Arrowhead to start the season. Sorry, but I think you are waaaaaaaaay off on this one.

I would tend to agree...but after last years start I say screw the statistics...prior to the loss to cincy I remember seeing the statistical 'guarantee' that KC was in the SB.

Ray Lewis and that Baltimore D against the Chiefs sputtering offense is like a wounded deer against a hungry lion. We'll also find out about this great great Chiefs run defense in the Houston game whether that was legit or not, cause their gonna get plenty of Jamal Lewis.

Our only hope is for Ray to get arrested for attempted murder before the game. I know it's a long shot, but hey, it's happened before.

Chi, I wouldn't want to plan this way going into the season. I am merely looking at how this beginning could put some motivation into this team. I really think the play dropped off towards the second half of last season (9-0 then losing 3 of the next 4 - one of which to Cincinati). Now they know they can't take any games for granted. These are the same guys that know they did better than this last season and I think they can rise to the occasion. The coaching staff and front office are due a reality check as much as anyone.

Or I guess instead of looking for something positive, I could go the route of since we started off 0-3 we might as well plan on who we are going to select with the first pick of the 2005 draft. Shoot, we might as well bench Trent, Priest, and Tony Gonzales and save them for next year if this season is over. I'm not willing to go that route - I'm hoping that this lightes a fresh fire under their butts and they make a push and allow the momentum to take them through the playoffs to a parade in downtown KC and a trip to Disney for Green.

ATTEMPTED murder. At the last second Rain Man swoops in and saves me while the cameras are rolling.

Actually, with attempted murder, the judge would set a bail price and I am sure he could come up with it. In which case he would be out on bail Monday night. Nope, it would probably have to be murder for this plan to work.

**Rain Man** · 10-01-2004, 11:29 AM

Sorry, but I'm not tangling with Ray Lewis to save you, Jbret. You're on your own.

I am not even thinking of playoffs righ now, just one win. Thats all.

If they don't win this game, it might as well be a road playoff game, then we can all start looking at college prospects and starting mock football drafts before thanksgiving.
