Chiefs Everyone step back from the ledge.... - Page 12

It was only one game and we were minus some significant players. Yes, the Broncos won....against a Steelers team that is clearly on the decline but also riddled with injuries. That doesn't mean an automatic SB bid for them regardless of how hard Chris Collinsworth sucks Manning off.

We had a game today where it came down to the first team the blinked would lose. Atlanta's offense is much more mature than ours so it's not unexpected that we blinked first.

Look at the bright side of it. Our defense couldn't stop anything today and we were still in the game mid-way through the 3rd quarter. Yes, our offense went toe-toe with an offensive machine for almost 3 quarters. That's improvment all the way around.

We had 8 defensive personel out of the game. When Hali and Flowers return I expect a few stops a game at least.

The way the defense played today we were not going to win because we couldn't get a stop so the offense finally sputtering was for all intents and purposes moot.

Last year the Steelers lost their first game 35-7 and was in the playoffs. We started out 0-3, had a shitload of injuries and still damn near made the playoffs.

The Saints lost at home today to a rookie QB, would you count them out? The Packers lost at home as well.

Let's give it a few weeks before we start handing over the division to Manning.

How different would it have been if we had recovered the fumble that went out of bounds on the first drive? Or, if Charles hadn't gotten caught when he busted the big run? At some point we have got to get the breaks right?

How different would life be if you were born with a vagina?

Or maybe tackle Jones before he scores a TD. Or DJ doesn't pirouette when TG scores a TD. Or maybe, just maybe, somebody...anybody from the defense steps up and makes a play. Players get hurt. Injuries have been the Chiefs excuse for way too long.

I'm glad we all stepped back from the ledge. Things look so much better with a little perspective.
