Dumb move by the Chiefs not running the football there.
The passing game looked better in the first half as well. They completely stopped trying to be aggressive in the second half because they realized the Titans couldn't play with them.
Can't wait till MM gets back. then things are going to get fun.
Having Reid instead of Goldson and FINALLY giving Brock a chance has made this secondary very formidable.

Not even fair.
It baffles me that Stafford puts up pedestrian numbers.
Pedestrian numbers?

Pedestrian may be harsh but he's neither in the top 10 of Y/A or TD% which he should be with Megatron. Never has there been someone as good as him. He's Randy Moss with an A+ work ethic.

Well Tony is almost certainly gone after this year. ROddy is probably gone soon. That's why the Falcons gunned after Julio was to give Ryan a long term weapon. Roddy was 27 when the Falcons drafted Ryan so odds were they weren't gonna get much mroe than 5-6 years together. Unless Roddy signs a more team friendly deal I can see him not having too much longer.
Someone is going to give Dougals a lot of money so if you want to keep him you are going to have to pay him but otherwise the Falcons really need to address both lines. They put ALL the pressure on Ryan to win and its not fair for him.

Falcons certainly need help on both lines. Whoever is the BPA at OL or DL should be taken.
Could you name some? I thought we had some bad calls against us.
He just looks awful. There is no laterial quickness and it takes him a while to get to full speed.
The offsides call on the onside kick was rough. The obvious missed holding call on one of the key 3rd downs in the Skins last drive (Had the Skins not converted they likely would have had to kick a FG for the tie). The "late hit" call on one of the Bears rookie LB's when he clearly was already off his feet before RGIII was down.
Those calls weren't the only deciding factor, but they certainly didn't help. Neither did the injuries to Briggs/Tillman, the missed FG by Gould, and the crappy play from the safety Conte

While it's obviously early, T-Rich has 4 of his 6 carries being successful ones. I'd consider that solid. Of course getting stuffed on third and 1 stinks but his 2nd and 8 10 yard run may have been a big reason for that last TD.

Andrew Luck is some kind of good

Man I wish I could be as smart as this guy

I didn't know the rule on offsides is not part of body can be over the line, I always thought it was just feet. It was close. May have got benefit in that one. Not sure on hold call. I thought Kerrigan got held a couple times on two runs by the QB though.
Bears played tough with a lot of guys out. Heck, they looked a lot better when Cutler went out, looked like Skins couldn't adjust to scrambler.

Does anyone doubt that Luck won't be the next great thing anymore?
