Brief Thought: The Chiefs

Alright, just to discuss something briefly. Three teams entered the weekend undefeated. That is kind of a small number for just three games having been played. But this weekend ended with an even smaller number: one. Just the Kansas City Chiefs made it through the weekend with a "0" in the losses column, and that came with the help of a bye. I know that they haven't necessarily "proven" themselves yet. But they did play (and beat) the Chargers in Week One, and they held off the Browns and the talented Peyton Hillis in Week Two. And a lot of people (myself included) predicted that this was the 49ers year, that they had what it took to become a contender. Their current record is 0-4, but it was only 0-2 before the Chiefs took left the game with a commanding 31-10 win. I think a lot of people aren't giving the Chiefs the respect they deserve. Their division is kind of in shambles, and they have a chance to step up. They have a great set of RBs (especially if you include WR Dexter McCluster) and a talented team overall. I hope that they continue to go hard and give the finger to the NFL and the world, because it's fun to see and underdog win and it's fun to have a team remain unbeaten- until they play your team. They will have a lot to prove in their next game, against the Colts in Indianapolis. The Colts feel terrible for losing to the Jaguars, and look to rebound. If the Chiefs can beat the Colts, they will officially have sent a message to the world, and the middle finger will be accompanied by another hand.
