Just some thoughts.

I'll start off by saying when comparing last years Chiefs to this years I see improvement on all sides of the ball, there is still a lot of work to be done but everything takes time.

A lot of people on here blame the defense for losing the first game against the Ravens. And blaming the offense for the loss to the Raiders. Yes the defense gave up 500 yards but they held the Ravens to 17 points in 3 quarters of the game, and special teams and the defense did things that led to 14 points being put on the board. If you look at the Ravens next game against SD, The Chargers defense gave up 300 yards but the Ravens scored 28 points in 3 quarters. So with being able to look back our defense did give up a lot of yards but stopped them for scoring for the most part until the 4th quarter. The defense showed it can play again this week against the Raiders. I don't know what is the reason but something has been haunting us in the 4th quarter for awhile, and Haley needs to fix it.

Now to look at the offense, the first game most people thought Brodie Croyle played very well, but the offense only had 188 yards the whole game, the Chargers were able to put up almost 500 yards against the Ravens. Then if you look at Matt Cassel, he and the offense put up 409 yards against the Raiders and the Chargers put up 317 yards against the Raiders. So by looking at the numbers our defense has did good for 3 quarters and our offense did better with Cassel (just needed to get the rust off). If Haley can find out what seems to happen to the defense in the 4th quarter and fix it, and have the offense work on the 2 minute drill, we could be a better team than most of us thought this year. Maybe not going to the SB this year but not picking in the top 5 of the draft again either.
