Chiefs What I Saw - Page 19

There isn’t a way to quantify a loss like that. There isn’t a way to describe it someone, even if they saw it. There is only the experience of having your guts ripped out.

It feels like a fugue state. The sides of your vision get fuzzy, footsteps and breaths feel artificial, forced.

It’s easier to blame particular whipping boys, but I think that is a half-assed analysis.

Here’s what I saw:

I saw an opposing QB sandwich three interceptions around play that is as good as I’ve ever seen from any quarterback. Andrew Luck was absolutely brilliant. That wasn’t just great quarterbacking, it was all-time pantheon quarterbacking.

I saw a wide receiver we didn’t have an answer for, regardless of which corners were in or out of the game.

I saw an artificial surface that should be nuked from orbit. Head injuries on incidental contact like that is somewhat of an aberration, but that many should not happen. I wonder if they replaced the rubber filling with tungsten before the game.

I saw a defense that made a number of excellent plays yet was completely eviscerated. It’s hard to put it all on the D when they gave the offense 17 points via turnovers and won the battle 4-1

I saw an offense score 27 points on its own, and convert another 17 points via turnovers, without its best player for the entirety of the game.

I saw a rookie RB with ball security issues play his ass off as a worthy replacement for our best player.

I saw a quarterback whom many, myself included, derided as a game manager play at a level that no Chiefs QB has in the playoffs in my lifetime. Alex Smith was absolutely magnificent in that game. He did not deserve that loss. He beats almost any QB in history on any day except that QB on that day.

I saw a wide receiver, who is the second best in franchise history and who gets crapped on like he’s Jonny Morton, play a brilliant game.

I saw a free safety who shouldn’t start in the UFL commit the cardinal sin of playing that position.

I saw a head coach whose biggest knack was time management and whose offense was built upon efficiency waste all of its timeouts on offense which turned a 4^th and 11 into a 4^th and the season.

I saw a head coach go for a field goal at the one yard line when every statistical metric says you go for it. Had they converted, the Chiefs would have won the game. Had they not, they still would have had a chance to win that they had at the game’s end.

But what I didn’t see makes me feel just as shitty.

I feel bad for Jamaal, Bowe, Smith, Hali, and others, but I feel terrible for fans that had to experience that.

Sorry milkman, Reaper, OTW, ChiefsCountry, Flopnuts, Rainman, Bob Dole, and countless hundreds of others that populate this site. You didn’t deserve that experience.

I feel like the football antichrist dragged his carcass from the bowels of Hell to smite us one more time.

This is exactly how I feel.

I am excited for this teams future. We have a QB. I didnt hate the trade for Smith, I didnt love it. I was in the wait and see crowd, who thought many were overreacting as if the trade was doomsday.

As I watched this heartbreaking loss, the one thing that keep coming up was how great Alex Smith was playing, and how he was OUR QB. And I was happy that we finally had a MAN at that position as opposed to lil boys like Cassel, Huard, Thigpen, Quinn etc...I was truly excited for the first time in 10 years that we were going to be very competitive in the years to come. Make some key moves, tweak here and there, and we are going to be tough to beat.

I'm Excited. Don't get me wrong, it took me awhile to get over this loss. I couldn't even come to CP for a day or so, or even watch sports TV. I just didn't want to hear it. But now that my head and my heart are somewhat back together, I can honestly say that I feel really good about this team in the future.

What I saw ?

A defense that started reading then believing the sports media after their 9-0 start(defense is a Paper Tiger type talk) that not even when given a 28pt lead could prevent the D from 'pissing on their shoes'. Psychologically this D is toast in a lot of ways and I'm just not talking about Robinson,Lewis,SSmith and Cooper either.

There's nothing I hate more in this world than people who will go out of their way to text or facebook post trying to be a smug one who sucks the penis to throw salt in wounds.

I ****ing hate that! I don't do it to others, and I expect the same back, shut your ****ing mouth. But of course everyone around me knows this, and didn't say dick. I would tore them all kinds of brand new assholes.

I get pm's from a 49ers fan doing that to me. Shrugs. Zero poops are given.
