Let's talk about reasons to be optimistic
 

I know it's easy to want to put this loss on Bob Sutton, the NFL, officiating, etc - and those may all be valid points.

Instead of dwelling on all the negatives, what positives come out of tonight's game?

I can think of a few.

1. This offense has some real weapons. Both for now, and in the future. Hunt, Hill, and Kelce are stars. They should make the transition that much smoother for Mahomes (hopefully starting next season)

2. The Chiefs are still 5-2, and 1-1 in the division. The loss tonight sucks, but I don't see the Raiders coming into Arrowhead later this season and pulling another upset. The NFL truly seems to lack a dominant team this year, which provides me some optimism come playoff time.

3. Butker has been fantastic. This guy has the look of a star.

Anything else to add?

Patrick Mahomes.

Yes, i know tonight had nothing to do with Alex. But knowing we have an exciting young prospect at QB to look forward to puts a smile on my face.

Oh, and Demarcus Robinson.

Eric Berry back next season.

Defense is lost without him.

2018 and Mahomes

I’ve seen this season more times than I care too.

Demarcus Robinson is having an excellent second preseason.

Demarcus Robinson is a positive. This kid will get in sync with Smith. He’s always open!

Nothing positive for this season. Time to rebuild the defense. Try again next year.

There is nothing optimistic about one and done.

The reason to be optimistic is TNF always sucks. Always. Teams are virtually never on Thursday what they are on Sunday.

If he plays 20 years, in all likelihood they won't all be with Andy Reid. Another positive.

No, let’s not. **** you.

He's not playing until 2019.

#1 - maybe we're getting the horror out of our system *before* the playoffs for once.

You are way too smart to believe this.
