Probably not. Dallas is starting to screw up on Offense & their Defense is allowing Manning to play pitch and catch with his receivers.

This was the best game all year and why I say that is cuz we showed poise and didnt quite whem they came back amd took the lead. This says more about our team then the last few weeks. Plus we went downfield alot. Also charles ran 108 yards. Our only problem is finisbing drives. I think our def kinda soften up a little bit when their qb gashed us a couple times We seemed to be more conservative on def.
Those "most interesting man in the world" ads are based on Len Dawson.
special teams helps the chiefs gain crucial game points early in the game yet again. It gave us the momentum all first half.
Defense played amazing first half. what changed the second half? Fitz is one of the fastest QB's in the league on his feet! he smoked our pass rush and we really didnt have any guys left to tackle until he hit the secondary. The other big mistake was allowing johnson too much room when he was on blocking assignment. The titans o-line was catching heat from the fan base all game long but they showed up big in the second half giving great pocket protection. chiefs D didnt necessarily do anything bad or wrong, it was solid defense, it was just the QB scramble that was really unaccounted for which gashed us.
Defensive picks were HUGE. again without cooper coming out with that amazing strip/int (looked like dual possession till he judo'ed the ball out of receivers hands) - it was a 3 point game at that point and titans had found some momentum.
Offensively... man, i was really disappointed this game. I still feel like without jamaal charles, this offense would be completely impotent. Smith just doesnt have enough weapons. however he does have SOME. Donnie Avery proving again that while he may not be a top WR, the man is FAST and makes a serious effort to make a catch. Dwayne Bowe once again proving he can catch just about ANYTHING that isnt a direct pass on the numbers (when he feels like running the full route to begin with).
Alex made some really awful throws today and was not on his game, and I had a bit of worry before game how the rain would affect his game. It appeared it definitely had a big impact. he was sailin some passes matt cassel style. I also am anxious to get some of our TE"s healthy. they can be very effective in this offense and mcgrath is stepping up big consistently on 3rd and longs.
Generally speaking, the execution was just very poor and i feel that it was very fortunate for the chiefs that they were able to win this game. If this were a broncos or saints game we would likely have been humiliated with this type of performance, but we'll get a chance to see that in due time.
Our O is a work in progress albeit not progressing as fast as I would like. Hopefully when the lights come on in the O-line's heads and we get the 2 TEs back we can be more productive by the time we play Denver Mannings. I think Andy's play book has some two TE sets that we can't utilize now.
Woot, Woot. Dallas is fighting back & lead the Donkeys 41-38.
Wow! Dallas leading Denver again!!!!
Yes I think reid was working alot with two te sets during offseason and preseason then the I.j bug hit our te's.
Like wow, man!! I can't wait to watch the replay of the Chiefs game and the Donks game in Dallas via NFL Game Rewind. Kudos to Dallas for hanging in there.
