This is a game that the Chiefs will say could have would have should have would have.

Postives
The D They played outstanding against one of the best QBS in the game. They were left on the field far to much.

Negtives
d bowe is a chief. He is not a number one reciver I think we can safely say that now.

Charles fumble. that was anther killer thats why Jones is the starter IMO Charles has a history of putting the ball on the ground and did today.

This Chiefs played well enough to win for the most part. They beat themselfs. they will have pleanty to work on this week.

Good assessment!

It's a tough position to be in. We have to use the guys we have on offense, but they are far too inconsistent. When they are called on, they have to step up. The running attack of Charles/Jones/McCluster is not going to be able to fix everything.

I am a little miffed at the play calling too. On 3rd and one, you need to be giving the ball to Jones and get into smashmouth football. We cannot rely on a Cassel pass to get us a first down in those situations.

Lastly, each year I see this team run a play that never ever works, yet the coaches continue to run it as if magically it is going to work. This year, it seems to be a draw play where Cassel moves over and hands the ball off to a running back that is standing flat footed. It usually winds up with the defense immediately tackling the running back before he even moves, and always results in a loss. That play needs to leave the playbook, it is going nowhere.

Absolutely cannot become one dimensional, and absolutely agree that passing on 3rd and one is the wrong call in that situation.

one thing i`ve notice when the other team has the ball, there seems tobe someone open all the time. Alot of times middle to deep on us.
I`m not saying that our coverage is bad, or this grip isnt even against the defense.
But it never seems OUR wr`s are open. And throw the ball deep once in awhile.
Now i know cassel stinks throwing the long ball,or short, but hes only been scaked what 3,4 times this year. He has time. Atleast try. Keep the safeties deeper not up close for the run.
Maybe our wr`s arent good enough to get open.

Could be; one thing, I think, is for sure: we need to develop the passing game a whole lot more, and I agree that for our running game and short to medium passing game to operate at full capacity then we need to keep those safeties playing a bit more honest by going long a few times.
