Was having flashbacks and PTSD thinking about the Cheifs and Saints and how we faired against them over the past 2 years.

As someone eluded to earlier, hopefully an increased pass rush will help as well.

Thanks for the sanity check chums.

That Saints game is a thing of beauty to watch...if you are a Saints fan.  Brees never forced it down the field.  Not once.  He just said, ok, this is what they are giving me, I will take it all day long.  Short, intermediate, routes that would net about 6 yards in the air and 6 more YAC.  I remember thinking he was going to break the consecutive completion record and one of his guys flat out dropped one.  

Chiefs did a lot of the same thing.  It wasn't deep balls, but crossers and a lot of seam routes to TEs where, again, the middle of the field was wide open.  Not on purpose, but we allowed them to do it.
