Okay, I know I am a total homer and I also know that we have made a wealth of mistakes in our first two games.
That being said, I still feel that there is no reason to panic. The Chiefs were 0-2 last year and still managed to get into the playoffs. This is typical for Edwards, whose teams are known for starting slow and finishing strong.
4 out of 5 years with the Jets, Edwards' team had a losing record at the beginning of the season. 3 out of 5 years, they made the playoffs.
This early uphill climb is normal with a team coached by Edwards. While the early-season situation Herm tends to get into is less than ideal, you can bet that this team will be playing a lot better later in the season.
What I saw against the Bears last week was a team that played well enough to give themselves some chances to win over a team that was in the superbowl last year. As the offense comes together and improves this season look for us to capitalize on some of these opportunities and win some games. Especially if the Chiefs can dramatically reduce the number of penalties and turnovers we have seen thus far.
In my opinion, the only thing that gives the Chiefs a chance of getting to the next level is the fact that this roster hosts more talent than it gets credit for. If the offense can gel and we can eliminate some mistakes on that side of the ball as well as special teams, we have the potential to be a very dangerous team with how our defense is playing right now.
Again, I know I'm a total homer but if this team gets on a roll, I really think we can run some people over. Nobody has been surprised yet by anything the Chiefs have done thus far, but I think that is about to change this week against the Vikings.
