Edit: Ok going from this game both of these teams are going to have great seasons. Plummer made 2 big mistakes and Q fumbled at a really bad time, oh and we gotta stop Preist better next time. Other then that everythings great.
Man have I said it enough how happy I am with Q and Bailey ?

I don't know what's worse; Pat taking over the sunday night football broadcast or the possibility my steelers may have to look at week 1 as a high point for the season.

mwahahahaha
Mmmm our D is one of the top Ds of the league, we just need more time to gel. Also you cant just excuse it for bad D when KC has the best offensive line in the Nfl. Oh and Holmes is sort of a really good runningback :lol
Im so excited for this season.

Props to the Broncos and their continued success against the Chiefs in Denver. Quentin proved to me that he can run the ball, but Plummer performed just about how I thought he would this season.
I'm not so quick to bag on the Chiefs D, though there were a couple things that drove me crazy during the game, and I wasn't sure what Gunther's plan was, or if his players were executing correctly.
First, throughout almost the entire game, the Chiefs D covered the slot WR with a linebacker. Now, Barber, Beisel and Fujita are fast and they can tackle. However, they still have to look in the backfield to keep an eye on the QB. That's when the WR would sneak behind on a curl and sit in the zone, or they would catch it off a slant or square route. I don't know if it was Gunther not pleased with his nickel and dime DBs, or if he had something else in mind.
Secondly, Vonnie Holliday's complete disregard for staying home. I do not put full blame on Cunningham for this one. Everyone on the face of the earth knows that at least against KC, Plummer will roll out or bootleg 5 or 6 times a game to the left (the defensive right). Gunther even acknowledged this, so I figured it would be drilled into Holliday's head that he had to contain Plummer. He failed to do so, and it was even easier to see when Plummer rolled to his right, as twice Fujita forced Plummer to scramble or hurry his pass. Still, Cunningham has to take credit for either not gettin Vonnie out of there, or for not drilling it into his head.
Defensively, I thought the Broncos did great against the pass and really stuck to their gameplan. Fortunately for KC, Denver is one of the few teams in the league that has the personnel to cover Tony with a LB (Wilson and Williams) or a corner that has the makeup speed and the ability to hang with Gonzalez. Nobody thought the Chiefs WRs were a real threat, and Denver showed it. Against the run, the Broncos got completely eaten alive, and I was actually disappointed that Saunders moved away from Priest for the sake of trying to go to the PA, when it was clearly not working during most of the game.
As for the Chiefs, I was very disappointed with both Roaf and Welbourne, but moreso Welbourne. He was destroyed several times, and sent Green scrambling. As for Trent's performance, I think his numbers reflected the great coverage of the Denver secondary and the lack of solid outside protection. I'm not worried a bit, as I figure this was a hiccup for Roaf, and that Welbourne will get better. Plus, Green historically starts off very slowly during the season.
Defensively for the Chiefs, besides the complaints I had mentioned above, its about what I expected. Very aggressive play that resulted in a couple of long runs, but several takeaways to try to combat the offensive output of the opponent. I was very impressed with Monty Beisel, who I thought would look lost, but actually cut off the corner several times, and made that nice interception. I was disappointed in both the Chiefs DEs, and it sucks that injuries took KC down to Julian Battle as a #3 CB, when he still needs another year or so to get to where I think he can be. I think that despite the rushing numbers that Griffin hung on KC, this D can't be fully judged for another 4 or 5 weeks, when the players have learned to play with each other in the new scheme.
The special teams were better than I could have ever expected, Tynes looked good, and Cheek looked great. I better get up off this keyboard, or I'll talk for days.
Good work Broncos, I'm ready for the rematch in Arrowhead.

I believe!!
YES!!!
Us Giants fans gotta stick together. No matter how badly they perform we ain't jumpin' on any goddamned bandwagon like some other chumps. *cough*Orin*cough*
I'm just hoping they don't get too low a slot in the draft for next year to screw the Chargers. :lol
