While I agree with the belief that no loss is a 'good' loss, there is a relief factor involved in not trying to remain perfect every week.

For a veteran, experienced team (like the Patriots were a couple years ago), trying to go undefeated and pressures of getting each teams best effort every week is a managable thing. For a tema that is fairly young, coming off a 2-14 season, that can start to play a role in how you play every week.

You can start to kind of see it in the way KC plays. The coaches don't want to make play calls that might be the reason they finally lose and players may be hesitant in making a play.

This team, with the position they are in and wha tthey were last season should try to adopt the attitude that they are playing with house money. Let it all hang out and if that isn't good enough, so be it. They should not be playing timidly for fear of losing and getting their first loss.

I happen to agree that this is going to be a tough game. Buffalo is a team playing at home and needing a win. KC might have been able to sneak in there at 4-4 and take them and their fan base off-guard, but at 8-0 they will have the players' and fans' attention both. While I think they are definately better than Buffalo, it'll be a tight game, particularly if Charles is limited in some way.
