85% of people who predicted NFL standings at the start of the year had the Cheifs finishing last and maybe winning 5 games this year. So they are ahead of schedule in rebuilding the team. It's a bit like the Miami Dolphins from a couple years ago who went from 1-15 to making the playoffs the next year. They had an easy schedule, caught some breaks and than got beat up in the playoffs. Atlanta is similar after the Vick fiasco, although they did get a franchise QB which gives them an edge.

Unfortunately this game went the way I thought it would. Although I was surprised how well the Chiefs hung in there in the first half. The Chiefs have good football people in place and let them do their jobs. I have faith that they'll continue to improve the team moving forward.

Really this will make for a better game next week. Pittsburgh would have destroyed the Chiefs, Pittsburgh and Baltimore should be some kind of epic battle.
