I'll be interested to see what kind of game plan Reid and Marty Mornhinweg have. There are a couple of different trains of thought. Last week, the Eagles were creative and aggressive. Reid knew that the only way to beat the Saints was to put some points on the board. The Chiefs are a different story. They have scored three offensive touchdowns this year. The Saints scored that many in a five-minute span on Sunday.

Without the pressure to score a lot you have to wonder if Reid will try to simplify the game plan a bit and focus on execution. This is pretty standard when a backup quarterback is starting. Kolb did a very good job of running the offense when the game was close. He was more uneven when the Saints got out to a big lead and we had pressure to score on every possession. That changes your mentality and style of play. You can't just take what the defense gives you. Circumstances dictate that you have to be aggressive and try to make things happen.

I'd personally like to see Reid be more conservative this week. I want to see Kolb running a conventional offense as much as possible. I also would like to see our rookies getting mixed into the attack more. LeSean McCoy and Jeremy Maclin had good moments last week, but also had to deal with playing in a complex offense because of all the Wildcat and trick plays. I'd like to get a better feel for them in a standard setting.

Reid could look at this situation another way. He's facing an 0-2 team with the 18th-ranked defense. Why not attack them and try to come up with some big plays? Get a big lead early in the game by being aggressive and creative. Then you can go conservative and work in the young players. There is logic to each way of thinking.
