Re: ~~~ Official 2007 KC Chiefs Don\'t Totally Suck thread ~~~
Yeah the Chargers chumped it up no question. BUT the Chiefs were never overmatched on either side of the ball by "the most talented team in football". (I'm guessing we're not going to hear that one much more for a while.)
Half those turnovers were caused by great plays from the Chiefs. Rivers sucks when you pressure him. We get some credit for delivering the pressure.
And we apparently have a game-breaking WR on our hands. That changes a lot of things. KC was a basketcase on offense the first two games. Now we're semi-competent. BIG step up.
Also we missed Jared Allen, our best defensive player, a ton those first two games. It's hard to overestimate the impact he's had in the two games he's been back. I don't think he got any sacks today but he knocked down at least two passes and had a ton of pressures. One of the passes he knocked down, I swear he jumped 4 feet in the air. For a 6'6" white guy, that's pretty sick.
