I must say I am very surprised why people see this as a bad game for the offense or a bad overall game.
The offense put 27 point in the first three Quarters on a very good defense, while still finding its stride after the losss of edelman. They obviously didnt finish on a strong note when it was needed, but given where the offense has been in the first few games in 2014/15 I would say we came out quite ok. Of course there are areas for improvement but no more than every year.
Also Overall I find this game no reason to panic. In the beginning of the fourth Quarter The game was a draw with us holding the ball. a Position I find quite OK for one of the hardest opponents we will face all season. Of course it went all downhill from here, I would now discredit 50 minutes of work because of what happened in the last 10.
What I am quite disappointed is the Defense on almost all fronts. KC Had a very good running games even without the breakout runs and still managed to find open guys all over the field in the passing game. And it wasnt evene a single area they where exploiting like we did with there weak corner, They hit short medium and long throws all evening long.
While the track record and the overall talent suggests, that we will be able to fix this in upcoming games, the sheer size of the problem makes me worried a bit. Lets just hope is was just a bad gameplan, due to missing game film, and will sort itself out like in previous years.
Overall I would also say, that loosing the game was a boon, as it ended all talk of us going 19-0 and being way ahead of everybody else. And it provides the coaches with quite a lot of highlights to shake up the team in the next weeks.
All this wizthout significantly diminishing our chances in the playoff hunt. Although it might cost us on Tiebreakers, should KC continue to impress like Thursday.
