Chargers at Chiefs - Week 1 - Record: 1-0

The Chiefs are vibrantly important, certainly, but there are other things that rival and indeed surpass the Chiefs. Major stuff happening now precludes me from putting down the typically vast amount of Dave take on the Chiefs even with our inspired New-Arrowhead play Monday night.

With that in mind, here are the bullet takes of my myriad thoughts:

- Exhileration. A big-play Chiefs win on national television was definitely fun.

- D.J. That's two games in a row now that Derrick Johnson has been a beast on defense. (Remember last year's final game in Denver?) How great would it be for him to be coming into his own.

- The Dee. The whole defense was stellar. They all were beasts out there, really clamping down on a strong San Diego offense. That last minute stop was simply splendid.

- The passing game. Yeah, what passing game. It was shameful to say the least. Matt Cassel and his receivers should be apologizing profusely to the defense for never getting a first down to give them a rest in the second half. (I mean, really, did they even get a first down in the second half?)

- Dexter. Let's hope Haley can finally figure out how to use this guy.

- Injuries. Good to hear Tyson Jackson will be okay. I know Brandon Flowers was down but back up again, I just don't know what his situation is though.

There are a few other scintillating things I could punch in here as well, but I've got to move out. Next week should be better. Look to see you then.
