The Chiefs had a 1st down at their own 48 with 19 seconds left in the half and no time-outs. The Rams jumped offside to give them a free 5 yards. Then they allowed Boss to catch a pass uncontested 21 yards downfield, 10 yards from the sideline and 2 defenders let him run out-of-bounds uncontested when they could have tackled him in bounds to end the half. Kudos to Boss but i'm not happy about it. It allowed a free shot at the endzone and a successful FG.
For the Chiefs Cassel looked good without any individual receiver boosting his numbers artificially, (other than above). The running game looked very good. Charles looks 100% back and Hillis looked like an absolute monster. (Note to NFL GMs - if you need help at RB bite the bullet, admit your mistake, and trade for him now!). The Chiefs should have a very good attack if Bowe can perform. Defensively I saw nothing from the Chiefs. Against the run they look very weak. They made a bottom 5 offense look good. Chiefs fans should be concerned. Quinn looked like a decent back-up QB but Stanzi is done. He's not terrible but he stares down receivers and doesn't have the arm strength to get out of jail. He needs a year of starting somewhere for him to develop his skills. The CFL would have been good for him but too late. I'm disappointed for him. He looked decent on college tape but his opportunity is fading fast.
Note for FF fans. I know nothing about FF but Hillis looks likely to get significant time and goal-line carries. Don't expect McCluster to get much of a look in.
