It wasn’t our day.  That’s not what’s eating me at the moment.  I’m bummed that we made the Broncos defense look good.  This is the unit the Kansas City Chiefs pushed all over the field.  The KANSAS CITY CHIEFS!  So, while I’m proud of our defense for stopping the Broncos league leading attack, I’m troubled that our offense couldn’t have been a little more effective.

Penalties hurt today.  You can chock some of it up to Invesco Field crowd noise.  Still, some were due to lack of focus.  It’s tough to be starting our first and fifteen and first and twenty.  It’s tougher still when we’re facing second or third and a cab-ride most of the afternoon.

I suppose we can be happy that Brian Griese didn’t throw any picks today.  Of course, if could be argued that the Broncos kept him from miscues for us by taking him out of the game.  Hope he’s alright. 

This week’s Dexter whining… You know, I have been dogging Dexter Jackson all season long.  Last week he actually looked like he might have been reading my blog, so I cut him some slack.  Not this time.  Please put Ike Hilliard or someone else… ANYONE else… back there to return punts for us.  The man looks timid and afraid.  I cannot believe we drafted him to be our return man.  Get Michael Spurlock back. 

Disappointing loss.  But, the sky isn’t falling.  A win next week over the Panthers and we’re right back on top of things.  Just a mile-high might-have-been.  Let’s move on.  So, who will be under center next week?

What did you see out there?
