Derrick Johnson still disappears and does stupid shit, I know McBride will never be a top notch pass rusher but for the love of christ his single **** up caused a 50 yard run.

I'm with you on DJ. He's nothing more than an average LB and that's probably all he'll ever be.

As for Turk, he made a mistake but it's magnified when your linebackers suck.

McBride ****ed up and then Johnson did too.......I'm sorry for everyone on this board who loves DJ, he's exactly what he was in college an athletic guy who's undisciplined undercoached and in college that made him a playmaker in the NFL on most days that means the other team will take advantage of him.

He needs to learn how to play his position, either he has the IQ of 5 or he lacks dedication one or the other.

Did anyone mention the bright spot about our punter? He made the longest play of the day, punting right around the endzone all the way past the 50 where the falcon muffed it and was recovered by us.

That was a great knuckleball Colquitt served up.

I see this as a real positive. They had every right and reason to phone in the second half and they didn't. Atlanta may have been backing off a bit after they acquired the first big lead, but considering Thiggy's performance up to that point, that's almost beside the point. I'm sure they tightened up the defense after we scored the second touchdown and we still moved the ball. By that time, of course, I'm sure the defense was on their last legs.

One of the main things I wanted to see this year was a team that fought and scrapped right up to the final whistle and they did. Prop things are due to them for that.

The only brightspot this year is that Sliver Spoons Hunt put a ton of money in his pocket.

My hopes for this year: Chiefs win at least one game (don't care who), Carl and Herm get fired (and replaced with improvements at their respective jobs) and some of the young guys display something which gives reason to hope for next year and beyond. Anything else (Gonzalez breaking a record, perhaps) will be a bonus.

I could live with that.

One last game to watch this year.

I just got back from the game and I'm not nearly as down on the team as many on the Planet seem to be. Dorsey, Albert, Flowers, Carr and all the other rookies looked really good. All of Herms draft picks on the field looked really good.

The players that looked poor were McIntoad, Jones, Darling, and Pigpen. Out of that group only Pigpen looks like he might become a better player.

I believe by mid-season this team is going to start looking pretty good.

Thank you.

I've been saying this all day.

Seemingly to deaf ears.

No it hasnt fell on deaf ears.... What is strange, is how you fail to address the previous two years of draft picks.. Its like you are giving Herm a free pass up until opening week of this season.

Most of us are looking at the over all picture, not just this years "full-blown rebuilding" that you are only focusing on...
