THIS! We lost more than a game last night! We lost our undefeated status, we lost 1st place, and we lost any chance of gaining any respect from anybody who matters. Sure, they'll say nice things about our D, but the truth is we were exposed for the crap we are in terms of an overall football team.
And this team is to blame. They knew what all was on the line (starting with bragging rights), and they ****ing screwed the pooch and quit.
They also lost a lot of backing. For what it's worth, this team just earned a lot less deeply entrenched fan support because they burned us on the national stage. If they think this is just one loss and they thought the talking heads were wrong and didn't matter (last week), they can expect a lot more of it for the coming weeks. And they won't be favored in Arrowhead - because they shouldn't be.
These players don't care enough, and the coaching staff isn't going to demand it, they appear to be all too willing to gloss it all over and "keep it in house" while the fans get ripped apart by other fans. Good to be them I guess.
