The best part of the pre-season game on Thursday?

The food.

The Chiefs played the Saints and there isn’t a lot of good that came from it. I am really searching for anything the offense did well and I am coming up short.

Nothing…and let me tell you I am a creative person. I can shine a positive light and put a nice spin on everything but the Chiefs offense against the Saints.

When Croyle dropped back he was sacked. If we wasn’t sacked he was pressured. If he wasn’t pressured he threw a bad pass. If he didn’t throw a bad pass it was dropped. And if his good pass wasn’t dropped? The play was called back for holding.

Read that paragraph again. None of it is made up or dramatic thats how it went down.

The Chiefs defense? Meh. They did some decent work. The Saints were finding a lot of soft spots in their mid range pass coverage. The run defense was quite good overall, there were a few times where they were burned to the outside. Allen needs to remember to keep containment. The inside run defense was really impressive, Tank Tyler had a great game. The Saints were driving the ball quite well but the starting defense really stood tall with their backs to the end zone and kept them out for a while.

There were a lot of points where I found myself less mad at our defense and more impressed with their offense. They had an amazing rhythm and a quick strike style that was getting good yards in chunks. At points the Chiefs would defend as well as the rules allowed and they would still make a great throw and catch in a very small amount of time. This Saints team is going to hurt people.

Hopefully it gets better…I don’t know.

But tonight the Chiefs went to a club fight without a club.
