Chiefs Everyone step back from the ledge.... - Page 5

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.

You can't quit because of a missed FG in the 2nd quarter. I got news... our kicker will probably miss another FG this season. Pretty lame excuse to pack it in....

The defense didn't just have a "bad" day. They were abysmal. The only reason Atlanta scored as "little" as they did in the first half is because we held onto the ball for long periods of time ourselves on our scoring drives. If you score on every possession at home in the first half, you should not be losing at the break.

Pioli has failed at the two most important postions in pro football. Head coach and QB.

Show him the door Clark.

Amen. And while we are at Clark sell the team to somebody that isn't cheap and wants to win.

Charles and Winston both said after the game that the missed FG took the wind out of their sails. Which means 2 things..

1.We are mentally weak

2. The offense knew the defense wasn't going to stop anyone so it was game over no matter what we did offesnively

I would add that the defense knew they weren't going to stop anyone.

What was it, 8 straight possessions with a score for Atlanta?

if they're that mentally weak then Crennel needs to be fired, and Pioli needs to explain why his roster is full of quitter pussies...

Shitfest on both sides of the ball.

Of course it took the wind out of their sails....because they all know cassel can't bring this team back when they get down....like better Qbs in the league can.

Yep, just like Eli, Brees and Rodgers did yesterday. Oh wait, maybe it isn't that easy when your D lets the other team put points on the board the first 7 or 8 possessions.

Brady Quinn & Kyle Orton pale in comparison to Tom & Manning, but they are two of the better QB's available in FA over the course of this past season. Just sayin.

There's no arguing it. WE have the worst.

no, I think we should stick with what fails for many more years...

anything else would be risky...and avoiding risky the most important thing
