Ten Reason's why The Chiefs Lost

[DJ's left nut]

Loser DNA.

Some franchises win when the game matters, others don't.

This team came out and did NOTHING well on Sunday. Not one goddamn thing. And when I try to come up with players that actually played well, I don't think I can really come up with any of those either. I don't recall Peters or Mitchell really getting beat up. I also can't think of any obvious errors that Conley made.

But otherwise I can't think of a single player that didn't have some sort of key blown assignment or execution error. And that includes Jah Reid who I'm pretty sure played only one snap and blew his block badly enough to create a pick. Just a comedy of errors across the board. And let's not even get into the coaching as I believe that particular horse has been beaten to death.

I'm done having expectations for this franchise. They've officially moved into St. Louis Blues territory - I know they're going to **** it up, it's only a question of how at this point.

This franchise exists to be the bit players in everyone else's story. Loser DNA.

That's funny. I always explain to St. Louis folks that being a Chiefs fan is the NFL version of being a Blues fan.

How much poor execution was in this game?

-Berry not reading the field well in coverage
-Toub's ST's unit had its worst day blocking on returns like ass
-Hill being tackled by a slow LB
-Kelce drop
-Alex misses to Maclin/Hill
-Poe getting blown up at the LOS
-LB's/DL not using gap integrity
-no pass rush

It was a very poorly coached game and that's a big eyesore for Andy's "bye week magic" stat.

I believe Toub wasn't focused for this game at all bc he was interviewing for HC jobs. Our ST's was god awful in this game minus 1 play by Eric Murray

West flat dropping the ball when he was running in the open field.
Fulton getting drawn off by a hard count at home.
Alex forgetting to snap the ball on 3rd and 1.
Jones/Reyes routinely taking themselves out of running lanes (n/m, you covered this).


It was an appallingly bad performance and that's why I'm left with 'loser DNA' as my only conclusion. There's just no explanation for EVERYONE being dogshit. These guys aren't kids; they've virtually all been playoff tested at this point. And it damn sure can't be complacence because they sure as hell haven't accomplished anything.

I just don't understand how the entire 53 man roster and every single coaching unit can have come out there and shit the bed like that.

it was uncanny..its was like a different team from the previous two weeks.

I saw both Peters and Kelce dancing between plays...offense and Smith casually strolling onto the field.

They didn't WANT it...and it showed.

I blame the coaches for not getting them mentally prepared. Pitt just wanted the game so badly that they won on almost all aspects of the game.

Showing up is half the battle. We didn't.

As for body language - we noticed it in the 2nd or 3rd drive when they put the huddle up on the jumbotron - everyone was hunched over and just seemed like they didn't have any energy at all.

They looked like someone killed a puppy in the locker room before the game. They really were the walking dead out there.

When every player fails, I guess the only place to look is coaching. These guys just weren't ready to play or didn't understand the obstacles in front of them.

Very strange.

There was a moment in the 3rd quarter where RNR and Hali were standing on the sidelines waiving their arms and trying to get the fans pumped up.

I turned to the guy next to me and asked why the hell we should get fired up when that was the most energy those guy had shown all night.

Aggravating as all hell and the whole way home that game made me ask myself why I care at all. I've never been one of the fans that is so cynical that I fall into the "we care more than the players do" trap. But after that game I just don't know what else to conclude.

Not a pleasant impression to take away from a home playoff game.

We did on the first drive but then the Steelers did exactly what they did in the last matchup. They completely threw us off our game and frustrated our players.
They blitzed Alex and made him timid, they sent James Harrison on a b line to knock Kelce right in the chest when the ball was snapped to get him off his route, they were physical at the LOS.
They knew Kelce would lose his cool if you frustrated him.

They beat the shit out of us up front on both sides and it was frustrating. Only Schwartz and Jones were the only lineman I saw who held their own and made plays.

This team has some mentally weak players and I'm looking right at Kelce

And our team has NEVER done that. When the **** have we ever gone out on that field and just knocked the shit out of someone?

Wait, what?? One of our own offensive linemen got fooled by a hard count? Surely you are meaning a defensive lineman right? Because Fulton ain't that great of a guard, but surely he didn't jump on a hard count did he?

Yup.

Sent a guy in motion, Smith gave a hard hut and Fulton came out of his stance so hard he almost fell down.

Got drawn off by our own hard count on a 3rd and short.

EDIT: I take that back, it wasn't a third and short. It was first down in that last drive before West forced himself to fumble.

Wow! I missed that from up in the stands. I remember the false start but didn't realize that was what happened. Well hopefully Fulton's starting days are over. Ehinger should bulk up by training camp. He already won the starting job before he got hurt. He should continue to improve and keep Fulton on the bench next season.
