no quibble quibble, dj dizzle...
... and yes! Even though they lost, I was very encouraged by what I saw of their offense and the overall ability to get chunk yards when they need to. Like I told KC fans and SF fans all over back in the day... if the OL blocks half decent... if the targets catch most of what comes their way... that QB can handle his business and get lots of wins.
Of course, when a defense plays as badly as KC's did today? NO quarterback is winning many of those.
vs one of the worst defenses in the league.
And it's not trolling to call out Alex making the defense better. You know, you may be right, Alex does make the defense better. I think he made them worse today also. Alex shouldn't have tried to score too fast all the time. Works both ways.
