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?

Also for the record, Turk McBride is the reason along with DJ that Norwood ripped off a 50 yard run.

Actually, the offense did markedly better in the 2nd half, although the game was already lost at that point so one must consider the entire 2nd half as "garbage time" stats. Still- we did run much better than we have all season and made a number of 1st downs.

Also, I continue to be impressed by Albert and both Flowers and Carr look like NFL caliber CBs (not saying any of them are 2008 probowlers but they haven't really been liabilities which is something in their rookie year).

Tank Tyler, Turk McBride and Glen Dorsey all had good tackles and penetration.

Did it happen on every down? No. But they played hard and for the most part, played well.

Dude, this is essentially an Expansion Team. Period. If you look at it from that perspective, there's a lot of good things to find in today's performance.

That's outright ****ing bullshit.

Bull. ****ing. Shit.

The score was 31-14 when the Chiefs were on the 19 yard line. 31-17 is not "game over". Especially when they had another chance at the one, which would have put it at 31-24.

What a bunch of negative douchebaggery on this site.

Most everyone thought even expecting us to be bad that we could beat the Falcons, when this happens this is what you get.

What you're doing is picking out a few positives against a team that will probably win 5 games, going "see look at this"

I guess you can call me negative but I just don't see our offense (as it is) putting up 30 points this year. Perhaps when Croyle returns but I wouldn't count on it.

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.

How did they manage to avoid scoring from the goal line?

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.
No Dane Mecca is right, after NE that have been pretty much no bright spots other than Bowe, Gonzalez, and LJ this game. I know this is going to be hard to take, but I think the defense is worse than it was under Dick Vermiel.

You should expect to be competitive against teams like Oakland and Atlanta when you have to try to pick out very small positives about the game against those teams, what is going to happen when they face a good team?

They are obviously much further behind this curve than even the most ardent person could have predicted. I don't think anyone expected to get abused in these 2 games...

LJ on fourth and goal couldn't quite get in. He sure as hell tried.

Look guys, had it not been for the missed field goal and LJ's near TD miss, the Chiefs would have put up 24 points on the road.

That's a vast improvement over last week at Arrowhead.

Add to that, the team, especially the offense, NEVER GAVE UP.

So go ahead, be as negative as you'd like. You'd be missing out on a gutsy performance by a very young team that never quit.
