Kansas City. Great football atmosphere. That was awesome that every word could be heard during the National Anthem

What I should have said was more along the lines of "It occurred to me that they might not be as good as we all thought they were." They are, after all, 1-3 and their offense hasn't looked all that great in a couple performances, not just us.

But I don't actually think the Saints offense sucks nor am I saying that our talent-deficient defense isn't playing at a marginally impressive level right now, at least.

I don't like the mono-color leotard look, but it looks awesome on the Chiefs.

Travis Kelce is going to be a stud if they actually decide to feature him.

They are ranked 3rd in the NFL in offense.

Chandler Jones is an impressive player. Not nearly publicized enough.

Yes, but they weren't the high powered offense they've been in previous seasons against either Minnesota or Cleveland, really. They are grinding the gears a bit like we were the past couple seasons, getting yards but not putting up enough points.

Again, not saying they suck, not saying the defense isn't playing well, but they could be on their way to a down year all season long. Wouldn't surprise me.

I attended a game at Arrowhead a couple years ago. I'm so jealous of the atmosphere.

I just want to say I was a fan of drafting Dontari Poe. I'll be interested in his performance today.

 

[boozeman]

Would be nice if he would have turned and tried to block another guy...

But yeah that's awesome!

Didn't need to.

And never underestimate how NFL players overrate plays.

That play alone has him with a huge rep.

Wow. How did Jamaal Charles get around McCourty?

 

[skidadl]

Right. They pile up a ton of yards last night as well. They are also 14th in scoring.

What I am saying is that they are losing games, offensive line is a little shaky and they have lost 8 or nine in a row on the road. They certainly aren't playing like a top notch team right now.

I wonder if SF wishes they had Smith under center still instead of Kaepernick.

 

[boozeman]

Anyone that thinks the Saints offense sucks doesn't know anything about football.

The Saints O is definitely missing something. A little thing. Like maybe losing Joe Lombardi to the Lions. Or Sproles.

i think it's a wash. Different style QBs, for sure, but I don't think one over the other takes the 49ers to the next level.

Kaepernick makes the big plays that Alex Smith can't, but Smith is more consistent with the dink & dunk. Both rely on Gore and the defense.

Same here. Giving him away for peanuts just didn't make sense.

Wow. #26 had no idea. He was still running after the decoy while Niles Davis was 20 yards beyond the LOS

 

[boozeman]

Damn. The Patriots are turning into the Saints before our eyes.

That and Anquan Boldin both didn't make sense.

On the other hand, we've given up 4 first rounders, 1 second, 1 third and 1 sixth to get Joey Galloway, Roy Williams and Mo Claiborne.
