49ers at Chiefs - Week 4 - Record: 1-2

This is one of those games in which the more you dominate the more unfulfilled you feel because you know that last week you lost a really really really stupid game that you now so know you should have really really really won.

I don't think there was any question that Herm Edwards heard it from everyone about what a chintzy game he coached last week. Now yes, the Niners are not the Broncos, but he finally put it in fifth gear and let our boys play.

Damon Huard had a spectacular game. In the first half he was something like 13 for 15 with two touchdowns before he let the running game take more of the load to put it away. Dustin Colquitt, yes, the punter!-- had another terrific game, getting a 59 yarder off late. Dante Hall ran a punt back for a TD, ahhh, it felt like the glory days of 2003. And our defense was phenomenal again. Is this for real? Is our defense really this good?

All this with Larry Johnson having a way sub-par game. He got off a nifty 28 yard run when it was all but over to get over 100 for the day, but again, the main reason for concern is our offensive line. Can it get us where we want to go?

Also disturbing was hearing about Jared Allen's DUI arrest. All kinds of arguments can be made for why he should or should not be in there playing. Whatever the case, this just can't help our cause.

So yeah, after three games, among the key questions is not, believe it or not, when Trent Green will return. We just want him to be really really really healthy. They are (a) Will our defense continue to be as good? (b) Will our OL get any better? and (c) (Erghh...) Can we keep our noses clean?
