Chiefs What are some things we learned today? - Page 4

**Rain Man** · 09-11-2016, 04:27 PM

I learned...

Ware was no fluke last year.

If Smith and the offense push and take risks, they're better off.

The receiving corps could actually be strong based on the strengths of Maclin and Kelce.

Schwartz either isn't fully tuned in yet or he was oversold.

Ehinger was green, but I expected that.

Peters can't get cocky from last year, and needs to settle in and be more of a team player.

Gaines is going to hold his own just fine on the other side.

Our linebacker corps is really weak right now. Of course, they're essentially starting three backups, so it shouldn't be a surprise.

Hali isn't going to be a regular player this year unless something changes. He's going to be a situational guy.

The defensive line is good against the run for the most part, but isn't generating any rush. We need a rush from the linebackers.

Agreed

Ware is special

4. Zombo was exposed in coverage.

Sandy Vagina · 09-11-2016, 06:45 PM

also agree. I don't have the extra yrs of sentimentality over JC.

I want Ware to be the main back at this point. He can do it all.

A package or two with JC and Ware out there together? Now that sounds good.

The truth is probly in between the biggest homers and worst trolls.

I doubt this is a 13-3 team but we aren't terrible either.

SD probably is more like their second half than first and we are more like the second half than 1st IMO.

Let's see what that looks like against a legit team

Outcomes aren't based on whether or not a team beats a "legit team".

It's based on consistency.

The Chiefs have now won 11 straight regular season games.

That's consistency.

WareWolf needs a lot of playing time when JC gets back.

They legitimately believe they should and can win every game. Haven't had many chiefs teams that embody that.

Chief Roundup · 09-11-2016, 06:52 PM

Jahleel Addae is the one that got fined over $23,000 last year for the hit on Maclin, going to the head. He is the one that went high and hit Maclin in the head again today which also drew a flag. I hope they fine this guy heavy and maybe even suspend him for a while.

If you think the chiefs were consistent today then I really can't argue further.

Chief Northman · 09-11-2016, 06:58 PM

I'm mildly disappointed CPers:

I thought someone would have mentioned by now that a huge diiference in the offensive production was when the Chiefs were essentially forced to go hurry-up/no huddle down multiple scores. The Charger defense became more conservative, Smith got into rhythm, and give Reid credit for anticipating some looks they would get and attacking appropriately.

A lot of concerns, especially defensively, but I'll take the result and feel good that however ugly the outing was, the team never quit. The elation expressed by the players after the win was awesome to see!

For the last 20 minutes of the game, they outscored the Charger 30-0.

That's consistent.

**** the first half.

Ware is a helluva receiver

Yah if you read what I originally said, I think you and I are in agreement.

What I would like to see is how the 2nd half team plays against a team capable of playing the way the chargers were playing in the 1st half.

Thats all.

Because I think that is truly what we will see the rest of the year...We aren't anywhere close to as bad as we were in the 1st half. And we will be facing teams much better than the chargers most of the time.

Thats why I am saying the truth is in the middle somewhere. Were not as bad as we were in the 1st half and were not going to always be facing a team as bad as the Chargers played in half 2.
