Optimism for your team is never a bad thing. Joe Posnanski always writes every year about how he thinks it’s the Royals’ year, even though it never is. But all the wishful thinking and closing your eyes and putting your fingers in your ears and saying “lalalalalala” isn’t gonna make the Patriots go away, much less actually be beatable. Because they still aren’t. We will lose game 1. I’ll bet the farm.

No way am I okay with excusing a loss in game 1 just because it's "the Pats" or because "we're rebuilding" or any other unacceptable excuse. The Chiefs team I expect to see take the field on that given Sunday is one that believes it will win and then does just that. Can't wait. Skitch,

Who cares what happens with the Pats. It's not like we'd be the first team to lose against them inthe past 5 years. Measuring the team against them on game one is ridiculus. I say start the youngs guys right away, it might be a rough year but at least we'll get some attention. Our primetime TV coverage sucks this year.

I think KC played coverages to hide Law's flaws and the scheme did not play well to Surtain's skill set. That said, I think Carr starts out as the nickle and swaps with Surtain about 6 to 8 games into the season. This could actually be an awesome secondary - particularly if the Dline can get a push up the middle that forces QB's outside, or prevents them from stepping up in the pocket.
