OFFICIAL SAINTS VS. CHIEFS GAMEDAY THREAD

Just like every year, if we don't score in the mid 40s, we lose. I'm glad I had to work today and gave my tickets away.

The tie gets shared with kenny Vac who also got caught napping and gave up a 3rd down conversion. #1 worst dude is a 3 way tie orchestrated by our LB corps being completely out of position and wandering around clueless and let JC right up the middle on us uncovered while Lofton watched.

really, i am most worried about are ridiculous special teams. We cannot win if we keep giving the opposing teams starting position on the 40 every freaking kick off. This happened all last year.

Unfortunately, a LOT of what happened tonight looked like last year.

The defense played well. I like to see that. Glenn Foster had a nice game.

May I assume you missed the first 10 minutes when the chefs starting offense was on the field? They waltzed through our 1st defense like we were playing with 8.

Well it's better to finish well than to start well. The Chiefs got, what, like 215 yards total offense in the game. It seems to be our defense overall is going to be quite a bit better than last year. I don't care about ten minutes in a game. I care about the final outcome. Holding a team to such a tiny amount of yards and only 13 points is a good outcome.

The final score of a preseason game is totally meaningless. What you look for is the way your starters play against their starters. The fact that our soon-to-be-cut players beat their soon-to-be-cut players doesn't mean very much.

You mean one 6-1/2 minute drive where they dinked and dunked on our olb's?
Over-react much?

Especially with the fact that the starting OLB's for the game were will smith and jay richardson

Not even the starters

I feel as though RR would not show his hand in the game though, he did not blitz alot from the OLB spot at all

Maybe waiting for week 1 to suprise the clowns

I didnt realise you got stung for full price on preseason games. The soccer games in the UK are normally a little cheaper but the normal season are are getting ridiculous. I have not been to watch my team in years.I live miles away and the price of travel, tickets, hotel anf food when set me back loads.

Sports dont belong to the fans anymore, all the teams care about is the numbers and how tight they can turn the screw before people dont go.
