KC Chefs - Preseason Game #3

God news, bad news from last Saturday nights Chef's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.   First the good news.  The offense and defense played better than they have so far this preseason.  After an opening drive fumble that set the Eagles up for a quick touchdown, the starting Chefs team beat the starting Eagles team in the rest of the first half and most of the second.  The offense was tentative, but were able to move the ball down the field and chalk up 17 points. 

The defense was much better.  They had 5 sacks in the game.  That is 5 more than in the first two games.  They intercepted for the first take away of the preseason.  There was some serious hitting going on all over the field.  I am not sure this was a great defensive display, or just looked that way after the first two abysmal preseason performances.  But it was improvement.

Now the bad news.  Despite the noteworthy improvement, they still lost.  They allowed the Eagles to take the ball down the field with only 2 minutes on the clock and no timeouts for a game winning touchdown.  Oh well, it was the third string in the game by then.  All you can conclude is that the Chef's third string could not match up with the Eagle's third string.  0 wins, 3 losses with Green Bay on Thursday. 

I am losing faith that this team will be significantly better than last year's team.
