John Fox says a win is a win, blah, blah, blah.... He's sounds completely satisfied because they won. I'm not impressed. They barely got by a battered Chiefs team at home.
This team has a lot of talent, yet they STILL have no idea how to play a complete game and close teams out. This team continues to lack focus, discipline, and a killer instinct. No lead is safe.
First series of the second half: Denver has KC in a 3rd and 18 from their own 12. What do they do? They rush 3. Yeah, that always works. I thought this defensive was supposed to thrive on getting teams into passing situations and then get after the quarterback. This rushing 3 BS needs to stop. It seldom, if ever, works. Put pressure on the quarterback and force a quick decision. Denver plays 'gentlemen' defense and they still don't have that bit of nasty that they desperately need. Try ending the game in the third quarter instead of the last drive.
I know this is only week 2, but this bothers me because I am seeing a lot of the same traits that were prevalent in last year's team. The only thing that I can attribute it to is coaching. Perhaps it's just frustrating because I know the window is closing with Peyton.
Next week they are going to get a pissed off Seattle team and they are going to have to play them in the most difficult of places. I hope I am wrong, but I think this team is going to get punched in the mouth next week.
Perhaps that's exactly what they need.
