No, I 'm not.
I'm judging it on what I saw from KC on the field yesterday which was a non-existent pass rush and very weak CB play. If Rivers hadn't lost his receiving weapon halfway through I don't know how they wouldn't have continued to hammer that D. KC's O is what it is.
I'll put it to you this way: if KC continues to play like they did yesterday how confident are you in your prediction that they will go "at least to the AFCG" if not further?
Not talking shit here. Making an observation that I can't reconcile a lot of the talk here about KC finally winning the West, going 12-4, 14-2, AFCG, etc. with what I saw this weekend. [Reply]

They're not healthy on defense. Zombo and Ford were KC's OLB in the first half yesterday.
Everyone knows KC's defense is good when everyone plays. [Reply]

It's probably best for KC's offense that they can't rely on the defense too much right now. If they have to pull a few deficits out of their ass, Reid might actually learn to use and trust an offense for something outside of his normal, utterly mind-numbing routine. [Reply]

McNabb didn't have that problem. Alex Smith is clearly conservative with the ball. Thats why a large majority of his passes go to the backs. [Reply]

Alex has been given complete carte blanche on his side of things. He's got a great line now,a #1 receiver and TE, and possibly the best RBBC in the league.
And, it's his 4th fucking year in the system.
There is literally no excuse for "needs weapons" any longer. He SHOULD be stacking 2 TD leads on opponents now, it should absolutely be expected. [Reply]

Denver won by a missed field goal. KC kicked SD's ass . [Reply]

I think he has the most complete offense around him although Pitt may be a bit better.
Alex has a Pro Bowl TE, Pro Bowl WR, Pro Bowl RB. He actually has 2 Pro Bowl caliber running backs. [Reply]

-Gaines had a torn ACL last year. He's the starting corner opposite of Peters. It's going to take him a few games to get back. He only played in one preseason game iirc.
-Houston, a top 3 pass rusher in the NFL is out.
-Hali didn't play much in the first half. When he started playing it was a completely different ball game. They started to put pressure on Rivers.
-Berry held out for much of the offseason.
I think we will get a better feel for the defense week 4ish. I wasn't high on the secondary before the season started, but we need to give them some time to catch up to game speed. [Reply]

No doubt, we'll have a much better feel for all teams by week 4. [Reply]
