What a great 1st half. What a horrible 2nd half. We totally fell apart. I have been a little down about that loss and am just now regaining my desire to talk about football. There's really nothing good to take from that one. We got it handed to us...and good. I can only hope that getting our 2 OTs and our #2 CB back into the lineup can help. The bye could not have come at a better time. Let's see if we can regroup.
There's no shame in losing to Philly. They were in the Superbowl last year and haven't lost anyone. The collapse sucks, yes, but I think it will build character. The Chiefs are far from "done."
i wouldnt say you guys played worse, we just started playign better, in the firat qtr you shoved holmes down our throat and it worked, then it didnt.
Any defense has trouble stopping the Eagles. They suffocated Westbrook, and it really took a toll on the team. Once they adjusted to it, it became obvious that covering Westbrook like that was a pick-your-poison decision
I would have made the same mistake if I were on the coaching staff. I said going into the game that we could win if we could stop Westbrook. I thought if we could get a little pressur on McNabb, he would make some mistakes. I just didn't think he faced pressure very well. I guess I would have been wrong. We couldn't really keep the pressure we needed on McNabb and that killed us. Holmes was running great and then the $#@&%$@# 2/1 LJ Ratio killed the rhythm we had going. I know LJ will be a good back for us soon; but if Holmes is hot, you keep feeding him the ball. The switcherooo thing is beginning to agitate me. I don't mind LJ playing. I just think you can't program it down to a formula. Anyway, like I said, congrats to the Eagles fans. You played better and deserved the win... <washing own mouth out with soap>
Chiefs are still my favorite to win the West although San Diego is a close 2. Denver always starts strong ans usually wins @ home against KC anyways so I think they are a little overrated. You guys will rebound.
