So are the Chiefs.

Philly is absolutely murdering them. If I’m not mistaken, Kevin Harlan said at one point early in the fourth quarter, KC has had 10 possessions in the game and had 3-and-outs on 6 or 7 of them.

It’s still not fair, though. If I weren’t feeling under the weather, I’d venture out to the “real world” and find some sort of “sports bar” to watch the game. Guess it’s crappy bootleg internet stream for me!

This is essentially the worst start we could have had.

Great KO return, offense kills momentum with a false start and 2 straight stupid running plays that are completely ineffective.

Defense gets the Steelers deep in their own territory, lose contain on a 4-man rush and have awful coverage in what I can only assume is a Cover-3 against 2 streaks and a post, then blitz inside while Willy P bounces it outside.

A few missed bad blocks on the Steelers by the refs already, but we can’t blame them.

OK guys.

This is what Lance McAlister is talking about. This is the type of game that Palmer is supposed to take his team to a new level. This is when our franchise quarterback is supposed to take all the adversity that they’re experiencing now and win this.

Is it Palmer’s fault? Maybe not. But that’s not the point. The point is, he’s supposed to rise above the rest. And, well….

Nah.

Bet they do a play action pass, because they figure that our running game is such a threat. Wouldn’t doubt that Palmer looks for Chad and throws a pick.

the good news is

they couldn’t have played much worse and are only down 10.

what i’d like to see in the second half:
more bernard scott. especially catching it out of the backfield
more henry. despite lewis’ objections, he can play.
more defense like that 4th down stop.
