Post game Vs Eagles

[matthewschiefs]

1. The biggest take away from this game is THE O LINE has to play better. That effort is not going to be good enough in many games. They were very lucky to be able to get the W today. WORK to do for sure.

2. In both games so far the 2nd half has been better then the 1st. This might just be a 2nd half team.

3. Lets talk about Mr.Kelce. His on the field play is up there among the best in the game at TE. His antics not so much. That being said IMO refs are looking to call things on him. And won't call things for him. I mean how many times in the game threads have we all noted a blatant PI not called for him. There is some accountability on them as well. It's not going to change so Kelce is going to have to learn to deal with it. But the NFL really needs to start holding the guys in stripes accountable as well. That would help the situation, In the end, the good with Kelce outweigh the bad. And I still love me some Kelce.

4. Kareem Hunt is a hell of a find. He is doing things that are not what you see from a rookie. That last TD was a vet move to get the ball in. Also many rookies would let what for the most part was a day of struggling get to them he didn't and made that huge long Td run. John Dorsey might not have been great dealing with the cap but man what a job he did in the draft.

5. Chris Jones. Again a hell of a find and starting to pay off. Hell of a game for him not only the sacks but the pick were huge factors in that game. He was the biggest factor on the defensive side of the ball.

6. Alex Smith missed a touchdown pass early in the game. That could have come back to bite them in the end and has many times. But he didn't let it today. He keep a key scoring drive alive fighting off many defenders to get a 1st down. That was as big of a play that won't get much play as the pass his missed could have been. He has to work on hitting that deep pass that he can miss sometimes. But today give him credit he still managed to have a pretty good day despite the O line being a joke much of the game.

7. Daniel Sorensen also had very nice day. He got some pressure on the QB that really made things hard on them. Got to give him a shout out as well.

Team is 2-0 to start the season. There is still clear work to be done. But the w/l record is what matters and 2-0 is a great start. On to The LA Chargers GO CHIEFS

We saw what Alex is capable of in New England when given the time necessary to survey the field. This game the o-line didn't do as good a job protecting Alex and we saw more of the short passing game that he has, unfortunately, become mostly associated with.

Different Defensive strategy between Eagles and Patriots. Alex took what they gave him. He still connected wonderfully with Kelce and Conley on deep passes. He just barely missed Hill. So they still took some shots, but mostly took what the defense gave them.
