Because the myth still persists that KC is good. As opposed to an average-at-best team who you've effectively beaten the moment you take a two-score lead.
I think most people just remember week 4 last year and use that as their lasting impression. If they destroyed the Pats, they must be legit.
Anything can happen in the NFL. Everyone has excellent athletes and coaches that try to win.
Having said that : I am far more confident in the team I cheer for after three weeks of watching reg season football. Coaches and players on opposing teams don't scare me.
i like rodgers, but im sick of the story about him being passed up by teams. at the end of the day, he was still a 1st round pick...they make it seem like he went in the 4th or something.
Alex Smith is such a **** QB. I can't remember the last time he felt pressure, moved, and then made a play. Seems like he stops looking downfield and just starts running around like an *******.
Why is there a non-conference game on MNF between two teams that have no history together? Am I crazy to think this is on MNF because Alex Smith and Aaron Rodgers were in the same draft class? That's a reach, ESPN!
