Queue the typical response to this post each week:

"There were good stats from yesterday's game?"

Yes. Yes there were good stats AP readers. Now, there are more bad stats but that's another post for another time.

So far, this is what I've got that was good from yesterday:

• Penalties
• Tyson Jackson
• YPC
• The play of Matt Cassel
• Eliminating the negative plays

Check out what I'm talking about, after the jump.

Without knowing the facts of the game, someone would look at the final score and figure the Chiefs must have been in quite a struggle. Save for the last three minutes of the game, they would be wrong. When Jacksonville RB Maurice Jones-Drew scored with four minutes, 26 seconds to play in the game, the Jaguars led 24-6 and obviously began celebrating.

That’s when the Chiefs scored a pair of touchdowns and recovered an onside kick in the span of 91 seconds. A second onside kick was not successful and the Jags stumbled off the field with a three-point victory.

The Chiefs spent two weeks working on tweaking the offense, working on fine-tuning, working on improvement. The play calls and approach looked different. The result did not.

Kansas City lost again Sunday, and it did it the same old way: poor pass protection, questionable play calls, and the appearance of a disorganized unit that couldn’t adjust quickly enough. Coach Todd Haley took a magnifying glass and scalpel to his offense for two weeks. Time was supposed to help the Chiefs swerve back onto the road toward progress. But this didn’t look much like progress: a 24-21 loss to Jacksonville, a team with problems and a fan base that seems leery that improvement is taking place.

Joel tweeted this out earlier but I wanted to mention it here to go with this picture. The attendance at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium today was 40,541.

The stadium's capacity for Jaguars games is 67,164.

Judging by that picture, I'm not surprised the game was blacked out in the Jacksonville area. Could you imagine a Chiefs game blackout? That would be the ultimate disappointment.

One positive take away is that it seems like our fans came out in droves to Jacksonville to watch the game. It seems like we've been traveling better as fans than I remember in the past.

Where: Lincoln Financial Field

Tonight the Dallas Cowboys (5-2) will be visiting the division rivals the Philadelphia Eagles (5-2) and this one should be entertaining.

Tough loss today but I think I can say that I like the pick up of Chris Chambers and we should have a pretty solid WR group by the end of the year. Im not in a bad mood after this loss like I normally am. I dont know if its because this angel of a daughter I have been given or the fact that Im just used to losing but either way its nice to be in good spirits even after a loss. Looking forward to chatting with yall tonight!
