    Default Two words Chiefs fans...

    Halftime Adjustments......the biggest difference in this game. KC was hanging with Atl. But the Falcons were to make the right adjustments at halftime. That falls on the HC.

    Best tradition:... I have to go with the Oakland Raiders. How can that be disputed? ...Everyone equates the colors Silver and Black with the Raiders. There’s Al Davis, who has been with the franchise for 48 years. There are all the great Hall of Fame players,...There’s the three Super Bowl titles. You think of the AFC West, and you think of the Raiders.

    Cassel's fumble was the result of getting hit on his blind side. You can thank Mr. Branden Albert for that one, again not Cassel's fault. Sean Weatherspoon made several of our OL look like school girls today. Especially in the 2nd half.

    Plenty of blame to go around after giving up 40 points, but I don't think the blame lies on the offense.

    Let's talk about how Atlanta WR's were routinely open. They weren't making great catches, they were WIDE open. We got zero pass rush, NONE.

    Cassel will have bad games this season, but this was not one of them. The defense/DC carries the brunt of this home opener beatdown.
    The bad defense not only hurt in the points allowed but it took us out of our offense. The game was a shoot out anyones game until we missed a field goal and they got up 2 scores when the defense is playing the way ours was and you're down 2 scores you have to start throwing more to try to keep up. The Bad defense had a bad effect on the offense as well. Cassel had some bad moments but the bad defense helped add to the bad offense in the 2nd half.

    Regardless of what personnel we field next week if this "defense" gives up 35+ yet again I'd hope that Crennel names a DC. There is beginning to be a pattern here.

    No, I'm going to watch it. As I said before and reiterated on the Game Day thread:

    I was right. If they stop them on that play and force a punt, then it would have been a different ball game.

    Looking forward to seeing which of the O-Lineman Weatherspoon was giving a beatdown to. I already have my suspicions.

    We were missing the heart and 5 other components of our D today. They'll be fine. Tough start, but it's looking up from here.

    The Chiefs did nothing today to dissmiss their stigma as a soft team.

    When your top pass rusher and top cover corner are out and you have a project of a rookie nose tackle starting why would anyone find that a shock.

    Unless/until the revolving door of coaches and coordinators stops there is going to continue to be inconsistency.

    No, it wasn't on Cassel. Albert completely whiffed on his block, and Cassel had no chance of either seeing it coming or stepping up in the pocket.

    While the Chiefs did take a pretty good whoopin yesterday, I don't think it is time to panic at all. Most of what I saw is fixable.

    1.) Hali and Flowers were greatly missed. The Chiefs could not get off the field on 3rd down. They failed to get any pressure on Matt Ryan, and he had all day to throw on 3rd down. Hali will help alleviate this some. Having Hali back will also free up Houston on the opposite side, because the Falcons gave him a lot of attention yesterday.

    Flowers' absence was very obvious, as Jalil Brown was severely outmatched.

    2.) The offense looked great in the 1st half and even to open the 2nd half. The missed field goal deflated the team, as I think even they knew they couldn't stop Atlanta. They began pressing on offense and it all went downhill from there.

    Now there is no excuse for not being able to rebound from a missed field goal though. This team needs to show a little more mental tenacity.

    Again though, these are fixable things.



    KC got into a game that they cannot play, and that's trying to keep pace with a high-scoring offense. These aren't the Vermeil days anymore. The defense has to play better to have any chance of getting a victory on Sunday.

    I am looking forward to getting the defense healthy, and I think this team is almost there. It's one loss, but there were a lot of encouraging things to take from today against a very solid Atlanta team.

    I too agree that the missed field goal was more than it should have been. I mean it was a 10 point swing. However 3rd and 1 and you have charles and hillis....that play pissed me off.

    Agreed. Thought the offense really stuck with them, all things considered, and I thought our running game was stronger than Atlanta's.

    Our problem was defense and 2nd half adjustments. It was pretty obvious that #11 was shredding our secondary.
