Chiefs Are there any bright spots? - Page 8

RJ · 09-21-2008, 03:41 PM

Serious question, is there any facet of the game where this team shows promise? The Chiefs haven't been in TV here yet and as you can imagine I haven't wasted my money to go watch them in a bar. I see LJ had a decent day and we only gave up two sacks. Does that mean the line was at least mediocre today?

Also, what about Thigpen? Did he look as bad in the game as his stat line does after?

Anything at all positive to report?

You call down by 3 scores in 2nd half in the game?

I was thinking tonight that for 7 straight minutes on both sides of the half, our O looked like things were starting to click and they could roll. Sadly, after the first drive of the 2nd half it looked like the old O came back.

I just don't know how anyone can be positive about getting blown out by Atlanta, they aren't a good team they're another shitty team. You should be able to atleast play a competitive game with them.

I don't think anyone is. But that being said, I can see that some players may pan out, I think Albert continued to looked good. I think that when we stopped giving LJ plays that were to be run quickly into nonexistent holes he did okay, something that he hasn't been given a chance to do. I think Turk is a lot better than anyone expected from him after last year, doesn't mean he isn't making mistakes, but this is his first year getting any playing time. I still generally like the play of our rookie CB's, they are not studs out there, they make mistakes, but eh, they are a lot better than anyone we have brought here in a long time.

Were you seriously expecting a better showing, especially when a team hasn't been able to get first downs all year?

Even I before this year who said the Chiefs were a 1-15 or 2-14 team didn't expect to get blown out by Atlanta.....Atlanta and Oakland were 2 games I thought they had a chance to win when picking those records.....so they are even worse than I thought.

After last week, with Thigpen running the game, what did you expect this week?

Before the season we were hoping that Brodie would work out and stay healthy and that our OC know his ass from a hole in the wall and wouldn't run on first down 98% of the time while the game was "close", and run the exact same play each time.

It appears Dorsey has had ZERO effect on the run D so far this year....

Dorsey and Tank looked good. From where I was sitting our LB's and S's couldn't tackle, and the LB's were always out of position. The DE's didn't help either.

The runs in the middle seemed to go nowhere, running outside was all day.

the corners haven't looked bad.

maybe that's because not a lot of teams are going to have to throw the ball a lot on us this year
