Are there any bright spots?
 

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?

When you get blown away by the Atlanta Falcons....do you really expect much positive?

Bright side: 1 game closer to the end of Carl and Herm.

LJ at least looked like he had some fire, we started running outside the tackles and did so with success.

That's really it. We have the worst linebacking corps in the NFL, our D-line can't generate any pressure, and our safeties should be euthanized.

Give me a break, Dude.

Thigpen put the Chiefs in the red zone twice when they came up empty. One a field goal, the other on the one. LJ played well today. Flowers and Carr played well. Tank Tyler and Turk McBride played very well.

If Thigpen had a year under his belt instead of just one game, the Chiefs very well could have won this game. His inexperience is what hurt the Chiefs offense, aside from McInSuck & Jones.

We didn't put a 5'9" practice squad WR under center to run the option this week, so that is an improvement.

I think we all new the right side of the line and the linebacking corp were the two most talent depleted areas on the roster. That and QB.

One more good off-season and the Chiefs are off to the races.

And he made a clutch reception.

Give credit where credit is due.

That 4th quarter from what I saw was the Falcons playing the pass going "hey if you wanna run it and take all the time off the clock be my guest"

No, but that doesn't mean there can't be something/someone who looked good.

We are one step closer to the NFL DRAFT which might be a darkspot if we trade the 1st pick in the nfl for Brady quinn.

The only positive I can think of is that this team isn't owned by Al Davis. If you haven't read this, good read:

Also how can anyone say any of the Dlineman looked good? Cause they made a tackle a couple of times?

They got 0 pass rush no one even got close enough to breathe on Ryan and they got gashed in the run game again.

I didn't see it that way.

The third quarter is where the running game and passing game exploded. If not for the missed field goal, this game may have turned out much differently. The missed opportunity for a TD at the goal line insured the loss.

Cleveland is NOT trading Quinn so that's not even a concern.
