Chiefs

This is what I wanted from Todd Haley, and this is why I supported him last year.  He set the tone of the team and they played hard.  Matt Cassel had a good game, and got the fans off his back for at least a week.  I don't know why there is so much hate for him, he played really well last year, the Chiefs only gave up a second round pick for him and Mike Vrabel.  The Chiefs run game is really bad, Thomas Jones' illustrious career is over, that was the one negative I got from the game.

Positives

TYSON JACKSON!  He only made one tackle but disrupted many of Adrian Peterson's runs.  If he can be average, that would be a huge upgrade to what he has been.
Steve Breaston has become a part of the offense catching 4 passes for 91 yards, first-round pick Jonathan Baldwin is still on the bench nobody really knows why.
Donald Washington, who is filling in for my beloved Eric Berry at safety, did a good job and is starting to learn the ropes.
Ryan Succop was 5 for 5 on field making 2 over 50 yards.  He has struggled early this year missing a field goal in every game and might of been replaced if this had continued.
Javier Arenas is averaging 20 yards on punt returns this year and had four key returns against this week, he has been key for field position this year.
Derrick Johnson is a really good linebacker and if he could catch the ball he would be even better.  He has benefitted from the improved play of the defensive line and making big plays.

This week's win is a good sign for the Chiefs but I don't expect a turnaround.  They play the Colts next week but their schedule after that  is rough, a disadvantage of winning the division last year.  The whole "Suck for Luck" campaign sort of makes me mad, I would never root against my team.  Winning games at the end of the year, even when you team is out the playoffs is crucial.  Two cases, the 2009 Chiefs, who played well at the end of the season, beating the Broncos in the final game and then made the playoffs in the following year. In addition the 2010 Lions who won the final four games last year are 4-0 this year coming off a historical comeback against the Cowboys this week.  Wins build confidence.

KU football lost a 20-0 lead against Texas Tech on saturday, the only positive I got out of that was KU's jerseys were really cool.  They scored touchdowns on their first three possessions and I honestly thought they were going to run away with it.  KU's defense is just so bad though, they look like they are scared of hitting sometimes.  When you watch them you almost know that they are gonna give up a touchdown.  Their offense isn't bad but not good enough to carry the team.  I think they will win one more game this year, don't know when it will come, but they can't lose all of their conference games.

One last thing, I will write way more after a win than after a loss.  I just don't enjoy writing about negative things.
