I definitely wouldn't blame Elvis solely for this loss. That last play was stupid but not completely inexcusable. If the deep posts really are covered, then the outlet has at least some chance of getting to the goal line by beating a defender or two one-on-one: as it happened, of course, he would have had to beat 3 or 4 defenders and he didn't even get past the first one. The play would have been better if Gonzo were a bit closer to the goal line, but I don't agree with the opinion that Gun and everyone else seems to have in hindsight that the pass should have been thrown into the end zone.
The loss yesterday was a team effort, in my opinion.
Also, I don't think there are many QBs who would have even been able to have an opportunity to win a game like that--Grbac racks up 70+ yard TDs at a pace that makes many of us think they're much more routine than they are. His 3rd TD drive was also impressive. Two quick strikes (in cold weather) that put us right back in the game.
I am more concerned with the Chiefs coaches (e.g. the persistance of stupid penalties) and our lack of a running game than I am with Grbac.
