An optomistic view on our Chiefs team.

GoHuge · 11:14 AM

Given what I saw last night some of you may want to take the approach that I have regarding the Chiefs. Emotionally detach yourself from this team. It took me an entire year to do, but it can be done. We are in for a long long year. I don't give a shit if it was a preseason. This team has some major problems. Emotionally detach or you'll be in the Prozac line. The wins are still as great as they where win you where emotionally attached, but the losses don't cost you a fifth of Crown Royal.

With all that said we can do nothing but get better. I'm fine if this team finishes sub .500 as long as I see growth. Brody has it in him. I saw it last night and the TD drive last week. Next year we need to draft a couple of corners, but I'd like to see our first three picks go to the O-line. Imagine if we picked up the equivalant of a Dwayne Bowe, Turk, and Tank on the line. We could fix the O-line in one off season as we did the D-line.

Tank looked great. I DVR'd the game and went back and looked at all his plays. He got a push on every single play. He's the guy we've been trying to get for the last six years. The way it looks right now we're going to be drafting high in next years draft. Use our first two picks on top shelf prospects. Maybe even pick up a top flight FA.

We'll be back with our top line O-line. We just got to stick this year out and keep the faith. Herm knows how to draft so he'll get us fixed up with one of the best O-Lines. We already have the best guard in the NFL in B-Dub. Bad year this year but buiding for 08' and 09'. We'll be OK. Almost every team of late that has become a Super Bowl champ bottomed out a few years before that, drafted extremely high in the draft, got excellent players, and took the whole deal. We've got the skill players, but we've got to reduild our interior. We'll be OK my fellow planeteers. It's just gonna take some time.

DOOM AND GLOOM! DOOM AND GLOOM I SAY!

I swear I don't know how some of you guys wake up in the morning

Please list the top 5 things you have seen out of Brodie that would support your view.

Emotionally detach.. easier said than done.

Last night is no indication of what we will see in the future. Now don't get it twisted, we will not be going 16-0 but this team is better than they played last night. How much better? That has yet to be determined. We are going to have ups and downs, as long as there is improvement that is a positive thing. We have some good, savvy vets on this team. The ship we realign itself. That is what these glorified scrimmages are for.

I did that three years ago. Healthiest thing I've ever done.

i agree that Tank looked really good last night. that was about the only thing you can take away from the game.

i wasn't sure anyone could be worse at pass protection than Jordan Black, but Will Svitek made me a believer.

is anyone else sick and tired of seeing the back of Ty Law and Pat Surtain's jerseys??? anytime a pass was thrown in the first half last night, I always see them chasing. do they ever cover receivers? you rarely see them with their eyes on the ball.

Please... "where" and "were" are not interchangeable.

amen to that

The good news is that they only have 17 more games left!

DenverChief - That is why I like the Planet, I can come on here after a horrible performance and see people go so far overboard that I feel better about my team. It is odd, but it works for me.

I love the planet too but man some of these people need to move the shotgun more towards the middle of their head

that's why i don't read most of the posts on the day after a loss. some of the things i read make me believe a lot of people on here don't know much about football. really makes me wonder why they are even fans of the Chiefs? if crap like this really gets you down, then the shotgun needs to be inserted into their mouths.

eh, they would probably miss and kill the person in the apartment above them.

The best thing about Thursday nights game is
that the Chiefs can only get better.

Here's to another season with no play off wins.
