Mellinger: One play symbolizes the Chiefs’ lost season

[the Talking Can]

To recap: The Chiefs have lost four games by 16 points or more, must decide between a bad quarterback coming off a concussion or a worse quarterback who isn’t, and are surrounded by clown-show storylines like a right tackle going on a misguided rant against the fans and a GM who apparently has precious little support from the owner.

If you want to throw up, now’s a good time, because our story is about to get even more sickening and disgusting.

After it was all over, a blowout loss to a franchise that won just one of its previous 14 games, Crennel said one of the worst things an NFL coach can say. He said he didn’t understand why the Chiefs played so bad.

That’s at least the second time Crennel has said as much after a blowout loss, and barring a series of miracles on the level of unicorns cooking your dinner tonight, those words will come to define his time in Kansas City the same way that never-say-it-can’t-get-worse line defines Buddy Bell’s.
