Broncos at Chiefs - Week 10 - Record: 4-5

At the half I was actually thinking, awright, here we are in this typical (at least of late) defensive struggle with Denver, ahead 8-6 (the safety the result of another phenomenal blocked punt by Bernie Pollard) and we get the ball to start things off here. Awright.

Sigh.

It wasn't so much that we fell apart. The worst of it was seeing that our offense is just as sucky as it has always been, and that our defense is worse than we all thought it was.

Don't give me all that "We still hung in there and moved the ball at the end." Sorry, doesn't count--the team couldn't even score then, either. The simple fact is that this team just isn't as good as the other team out there. Their guy could kick a 50-yard FG, our guy couldn't. Their back got nice holes to run through, our guy didn't. Their QB got the ball to the guy when they needed it, our guy couldn't.

And I swear Denver was penalized 57 times on the day. It was as if they taunted us, giving us all these head starts and we just stumbled. And I think I'd heard something about Denver being plagued by injuries. More handouts just dropped in the gutter.

Sorry. This Chiefs team is just not a very good team. And this is just not news. To the credit of those young genuine quality skill players out there, it really starts with that offensive line. It all starts right there. How much longer can we sing that tired refrain.

And then there's the fact that this is our third home loss of the year. The Chiefs just don't lose at home, they just don't.

But then, this is this Chiefs team.

I just wonder what kind of carnage we'll witness next week in Indianapolis...
