Well . . . it could have been worse

[Silock]

From 2-14 to 9-0 and then 3 straight losses. At least the losses weren't blowouts.

I'm not happy right now, but at least I see some progress from the organization.

[Ceej]

Yeah.

At least our entire team didn't tear their ACLs too.

[KC_Connection]

They just wasted a golden opportunity at an actual playoff run over the last 3 weeks. Not sure how it could get much worse from that perspective.

[Three7s]

Just sucks having to go on the road in the playoffs. Oh well.

[mnchiefsguy]

Not happy either. Everything worked against us today. Can't blame the refs for losing, but they sure as hell did not call a fair game either. Was almost a great comeback. Fact is, this team still needs a lot of talent to get to the next level. Even as a 5 seed, I think the team can be competitive and win a playoff game. Cincy and Indy do not scare me. Get a playoff win this year, and continue to improve the teams talent. Progress has been made, but it needs to continue to be made as well.

[Silock]

They just wasted a golden opportunity at an actual playoff run over the last 3 weeks. Not sure how it could get much worse from that perspective.

0-12 would be worse. We weren't going to win the Super Bowl this year, anyway.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

and yet this team is cap-strapped, they had a shitty 2013 draft, lose another pick in 2014, and still have too many holes. This is probably as good as it gets.

[petegz28]

0-12 would be worse. We weren't going to win the Super Bowl this year, anyway.

we weren't even supposed to be in the playoffs this year

[Pablo]

They just wasted a golden opportunity at an actual playoff run over the last 3 weeks. Not sure how it could get much worse from that perspective.GOT OVER .500!!!

BE HAPPY!!!

DURRRR!!!!

[TambaBerry]

Blame this loss on dropped passes. Even with how bad the defense played you have to come up with those catches.

[KC_Connection]

0-12 would be worse. We weren't going to win the Super Bowl this year, anyway.
You're not going to get too many better opportunities at winning one than what was just handed to the Chiefs 3 weeks ago.

In the long run, this kind of 1-and-done likely playoff season just paves the way for more mediocrity to me.

[Pablo]

Do you people really feel this fucking way?

We've lucked into the best start in a decade and pissed away our division and home field in three games.

And then we're supposed to choke down this "AT LEAST WE'RE BETTER THAN LAST YEAR" bullshit.

Fuck that noise.

[TribalElder]

Yay, feel good

[Pablo]

You're not going to get too many better opportunities at winning one than what was just handed to the Chiefs 3 weeks ago.

In the long run, this kind of 1-and-done likely playoff season just paves the way for more mediocrity to me.Absolutely this.

[Silock]

GOT OVER .500!!!

BE HAPPY!!!

DURRRR!!!!

You have to have some perspective here. Would you prefer we weren't getting better, and still ended up with a 2-14 record? It's incredibly unrealistic to think that we could turn the whole thing around in 1 year.

If you can't take some solace in the fact that we're, overall, better than we were last year, I don't know what to tell you.

I feel like I just got punched in the gut (same feeling three weeks in a row sucks), but there's got to be some hope somewhere.

[Deberg_1990]

From 2-14 to 9-0 and then 3 straight losses. At least the losses weren't blowouts.

Yippee!

And then we're supposed to choke down this "AT LEAST WE'RE BETTER THAN LAST YEAR" bullshit.

**** that noise.

So you say we "lucked" into the best start in a decade then you are mad because the luck is running out some and we won't luck our way to a SB win?

That's pretty fucking rational

[Silock]

Do you people really feel this fucking way?

If it's just luck, why would you think that even HAVING home field advantage in the playoffs would make any difference?

We lucked into the playoffs in 2010 and still got blown out at home against Baltimore.

[KC_Connection]

Absolutely this.
They are what I thought they were. But that doesn't mean they didn't completely waste a huge opportunity that they aren't likely to get again any time soon. Just disappointing however you look at it.

[Pablo]

You have to have some perspective here. Would you prefer we weren't getting better, and still ended up with a 2-14 record? It's incredibly unrealistic to think that we could turn the whole thing around in 1 year.

I feel like I just got punched in the gut (same feeling three weeks in a row sucks), but there's got to be some hope somewhere.The perspective is that we're historically a team that does everything the wrong way and NEVER gets lucky. Ever.

And then we piss down our legs when we finally catch all of the breaks necessary for a SB run. That's the ultimate goal here. I don't give a shit how bad we were last year or that we picked at 1.1 right now. I care that we had a perfect record and a clear path to our division and home field and we've pissed it away.

Yeah, it can still happen. We can still win it all, but we sure made it a whole lot harder this last month. You don't trade two seconds for a QB and bring in a veteran coach if you're looking for slow improvement. Those were win now moves.

And now we need to win. That's my expectation. And we're shooting ourselves in the foot and I'm pissed about it. Crazy, huh?

[hitchief]

Blame this loss on dropped passes. Even with how bad the defense played you have to come up with those catches.

Yes, the big drops in the second half killed potential scoring drives and would have kept us within a score.

Avery is done after this year, way way to inconsistent with the drops.

AJ had a huge drop too but he seems to be getting open a bit so maybe with more playing time could develop?

Our TE's are as slow as mud. We will be drafting or picking one up in FA for sure.

[Floridafan]

and yet this team is cap-strapped, they had a shitty 2013 draft, lose another pick in 2014, and still have too many holes. This is probably as good as it gets.


Did you not check out who Dorsey has brought in after the draft? The man knows talent and will continue to build this team into a perennial winner. He will find talent both in the draft and after. You can't expect it to happen in one draft. Have some patience and enjoy the ride. Remember it is a game and your life does not depend on it.

[KC_Connection]

If it's just luck, why would you think that even HAVING home field advantage in the playoffs would make any difference?

Because nobody in the AFC is all that good. As they basically showed today, the Chiefs can beat anybody at home in their conference. But they aren't getting that shot now.

[Pablo]

So you say we "lucked" into the best start in a decade then you are mad because the luck is running out some and we won't luck our way to a SB win?

That's pretty fucking rationalWe got lucky in the sense that everything finally came together for us for a short period of time.

That NEVER happens for the Chiefs. We got the perfect mixture of good coaching, talent, schedule, and breaks to get to 9-0.

I'm mad because we're pissing that all away with inconsistent effort from all phases and shit coaching decisions. We shit down our legs when the heat was on.

And now we're going on the road for the playoffs and even if we do win, we all know the road clearly goes through Denver now.

[a pp roach]

we would have won this game today if we were playing the jets

[Pablo]

If it's just luck, why would you think that even HAVING home field advantage in the playoffs would make any difference?

We lucked into the playoffs in 2010 and still got blown out at home against Baltimore.Because this team can actually play well at home. For some reason, we actually have an offense at home.

They can win at home. Good luck making a run on the road with this squad.

[Discuss Thrower]

and yet this team is cap-strapped, they had a shitty 2013 draft, lose another pick in 2014, and still have too many holes. This is probably as good as it gets.

Dorsey is taking the Dayton Moore approach to team construction.

2017 or bust!

[petegz28]

It has never come together. This team has yet to play a complete game this season.

[lewdog]

[petegz28]

Because this team can actually play well at home. For some reason, we actually have an offense at home.

They can win at home. Good luck making a run on the road with this squad.

2 of our 3 losses are at home. Just sayin.....

[Pablo]

It has never come together. This team has yet to play a complete game this season.Nine wins in a row means that everything came together.

That was the sort of start you get once a decade. And when you get that sort of, in our case "lucky" start; you have to capitalize and play above your level when you get the big boys.

And we didn't.

[Red Dawg]

Just goes to show that our team can't be fixed in one year. Dorsey was able to put on a few band aids our problems but that's it. Safety and wr is a big problem. Bowe seems to be a waste of money. Sucks to know that we simply don't have the players to beat good teams.

[DaneMcCloud]

The Chiefs are a better team than any other playoff contender and they're likely better than Cincy and Indy (which they'll have a chance to prove in three weeks).

It's been a great season and it's far from over.

I just hope Peyton Manning retires before the 2014 season.

[Pablo]

I just hope Peyton Manning retires before the 2014 season.I don't disagree that this is a better team than Indy or Cincy.

It sure as hell would have been nice to play them at Arrowhead.

Oh, and expect some sort of stupid Manning robot to destroy this division until 2016.

[DaneMcCloud]

Nine wins in a row means that everything came together.

That was the sort of start you get once a decade. And when you get that sort of, in our case "lucky" start; you have to capitalize and play above your level when you get the big boys.

And we didn't.

Sorry, the Chiefs don't have a Hall of Fame QB or a completely loaded offense.

Winning 10, 11 or 12 games is fine with me after the past eight years of bullshit Chiefs teams.

That said once you're in, you're in. That's all that matters.

Anything can happen after that.

[Silock]

I care that we had a perfect record and a clear path to our division and home field and we've pissed it away.

Did you really thing we were going to go undefeated?

Yeah, it can still happen. We can still win it all, but we sure made it a whole lot harder this last month. You don't trade two seconds for a QB and bring in a veteran coach if you're looking for slow improvement. Those were win now moves.

And now we need to win. That's my expectation. And we're shooting ourselves in the foot and I'm pissed about it. Crazy, huh?

The QB and veteran coach weren't the ones causing the losses.

What's crazy is expecting a roster that went 2-14 to somehow completely overhaul itself in the span of a single offseason.

[BigMeatballDave]

FRAUDS!

We should have seen this coming.

[Silock]

Because nobody in the AFC is all that good. As they basically showed today, the Chiefs can beat anybody at home in their conference. But they aren't getting that shot now.

As they basically showed last week, the Chiefs can lose to anybody at home in their conference. The Chargers aren't a good team, but beat us pretty easily at home.

Home field is supposed to be an advantage to the defense, but it's not. That's not because we're unlucky or we're cursed or anything.

It's because we're just not as good as the start indicated. That doesn't mean we can't make a playoff run, but it means that expectations needed to be tempered all along.

We got tested and failed. That's okay. There will be more opportunities to pass the tests.

[DaneMcCloud]

FRAUDS!

We should have seen this coming.

Shut the fuck up with this "fraud" bullshit.

They beat nine teams and lost to Denver, arguably the best team in the NFL, twice.

[Pablo]

Did you really thing we were going to go undefeated?



The QB and veteran coach weren't the ones causing the losses.

What's crazy is expecting a roster that went 2-14 to somehow completely overhaul itself in the span of a single offseason.I didn't expect us to go 0-3 in the most important divisional games we've played in forever.

I should have. We are the Chiefs after all.

[Bump]

We've still come a long way since last season.

[Silock]

Get to the gym, assclown!

I went this morning because I figured I'd be too pissed or drunk to go tonight LMAO

[Silock]

That was the sort of start you get once a decade. And when you get that sort of, in our case "lucky" start; you have to capitalize and play above your level when you get the big boys.

And we didn't.

But it's not the start that matters.

Wouldn't you rather have started 6-3 and then ended the season 13-3 (Assuming you don't believe in some voodoo curse on being 13-3)?

Point is, 9-0 is nice, but it hardly matters. What matters is being consistent over the course of the season and peaking at the right time.

[Pablo]

Point is, 9-0 is nice, but it hardly matters. What matters is being consistent over the course of the season and peaking at the right time.9-0 matters because we could have set ourselves up for a bye and home field advantage with good play down the stretch.

AKA the easiest path to a SB.

[Deberg_1990]

It sure as hell would have been nice to play them at Arrowhead.



Why? The Chiefs have proven they don't play any better at Arrowhead than they do on the road. Makes no difference to me.

[Pablo]

Why? The Chiefs have proven they don't play any better at Arrowhead than they do on the road. Makes no difference to me.Yeah, that one seed and a first round bye aren't all that important.

It's just the same as going on the road to play a wildcard game.

[Deberg_1990]

9-0 matters because we could have set ourselves up for a bye and home field advantage with good play down the stretch.

AKA the easiest path to a SB.

Have you watched the NFL playoffs the last several years? HFA means nothing. 8-8 and 9-7 teams win playoff games and Super Bowls nowadays.

[KC_Connection]

As they basically showed last week, the Chiefs can lose to anybody at home in their conference. The Chargers aren't a good team, but beat us pretty easily at home.

Yes, I'm aware the Chiefs aren't that good. Knew that when watching them struggle against mediocre to bad teams over the course of their winning streak. But the thing is, neither is anybody else in this conference. If they got the #1 seed and bye in it (which was a very real possibility at 9-0), they would have been one of the two favorites to go through (along with NE).

It's a wasted opportunity. As big as it gets.

[Silock]

9-0 matters because we could have set ourselves up for a bye and home field advantage with good play down the stretch.

AKA the easiest path to a SB.

We can still play well down the stretch. That's far more important than playing well in the first part of the regular season.

[Pablo]

Have you watched the NFL playoffs the last several years? HFA means nothing. 8-8 and 9-7 teams win playoff games and Super Bowls nowadays.I assure you HFA does not "mean nothing".

WTF are you smoking?

Yeah, 9-7 teams can win a SB. It's possible. It's always easier if you get to sit the first game out and rest up for an extra week and then not travel.

Do some of you people believe this?

Other teams also play worse on the road. It isn't just that the Chiefs play better (and I believe they do).

[Pablo]

Dude...

:facepalm:

[KC_Connection]

But if nobody is that good, why should HFA matter that much?
Any advantage you can get matters. But really, it's the bye that matters more than anything. The fact that you get to play one less 50/50 game than everyone else is a major advantage.

[Silock]

Yeah, the stretch stared three games ago with divisional games.

Yet, we could STILL finish 13-3.

[gosampel]

We are ok offense does look a lot better.. look guy they gave this div to Manning he be gone and John Elway will be back out here selling cars

[Pablo]

Yet, we could STILL finish 13-3.And be a #5 seed.

[Silock]

Any advantage you can get matters. But really, it's the bye that matters more than anything. The fact that you get to play one less 50/50 game than everyone else is a major advantage.

I don't disagree with that, and I'm not oblivious to the fact that playing at home and getting a bye would be nice.

But again . . . realistic expectations and all.

[DaneMcCloud]

Any advantage you can get matters. But really, it's the bye that matters more than anything. The fact that you get to play one less 50/50 game than everyone else is a major advantage.

Except it's not.

The Green Bay Packers, NY Giants and Baltimore Ravens all recently won the Super Bowl as WC teams.

[Pablo]

Dude...

:facepalm:Go for it.

Explain why not playing an extra game on the road and securing HFA could ever be a negative.

[KC_Connection]

Except it's not.

The Green Bay Packers, NY Giants and Baltimore Ravens all recently won the Super Bowl as WC teams.
Providing a few exceptions doesn't mean it isn't a huge statistical advantage to have a bye and play one less game in the playoffs, Dane. Come on man.

[DaneMcCloud]

And be a #5 seed.
It is what it is.

The Chiefs offense is gelling and Houston will return.

The Chiefs can definitely beat the Colts and Bengals on the road.

[Silock]

Go for it.

Explain why not playing an extra game on the road and securing HFA could ever be a negative.

It's not a negative, but you're painting the picture that if we DON'T have that, there's absolutely no shot to win a SB, which is blatantly false.

[KC_Connection]

I don't disagree with that, and I'm not oblivious to the fact that playing at home and getting a bye would be nice.

But again . . . realistic expectations and all.
I had realistic expectations. It's the only reason I'm not completely devastated about this massive wasted opportunity. I expected the losses.

[Pablo]

It's not a negative, but you're painting the picture that if we DON'T have that, there's absolutely no shot to win a SB, which is blatantly false.Read my posts.

They're all in this thread. I've never said that. I've said it's still possible. It's just that much harder.

Seriously.

[DaneMcCloud]

Providing a few exceptions doesn't mean it isn't a huge statistical advantage to have a bye and play one less game in the playoffs, Dane. Come on man.

LMAO

A few? How many first round bye division winners have won the Super Bowl in the past five years? Past ten?

[Pablo]

It is what it is.

The Chiefs offense is gelling and Houston will return.

The Chiefs can definitely beat the Colts and Bengals on the road.I won't dispute that at all. I'd rather we got to sit at home and watch somebody else beat one of those teams. Preferably beat their starters up and then they get to come into Arrowhead with an extra week of rest for our guys.

[KC_Connection]

LMAO

A few? How many first round bye division winners have won the Super Bowl in the past five years? Past ten?
Are you really arguing that having a bye isn't a huge advantage in the NFL playoffs? I don't think you want to go down that ridiculous road.

Read my posts.

Seriously.

Considering the defense has dropped off a cliff as of late, I really don't see a playoff road game as a massive disadvantage.

Of course, all bets are off if the receivers continue to drop easy passes.

[Pablo]

?Yeah, good luck doesn't mean it's impossible.

It means you need good luck to go on the road and win a wildcard game. Much more than you'd need if you were sitting at home with a bye.

[DaneMcCloud]

Are you really arguing that having a bye isn't a huge advantage in the NFL playoffs? I don't think you want to go down that ridiculous road.

You're a fucking moron.

Hint, Douchebag: The NFL is and has been changing since 2004.

Yeah, 9-7 teams can win a SB. It's possible. It's always easier if you get to sit the first game out and rest up for an extra week and then not travel.

Do some of you people believe this?It's almost like you already responded to this very post in this very thread, Silock.

And it's almost like I just said that even a 9-7 team can win a SB, going on the road.

[DaneMcCloud]

Yeah, good luck doesn't mean it's impossible.

It means you need good luck to go on the road and win a wildcard game. Much more than you'd need if you were sitting at home with a bye.

I'm sorry but this is no longer true.

Besides that, the Chiefs haven't has any "luck" in the playoffs in 20+ years, whether on the road or at home.

[Silock]

Yeah, good luck doesn't mean it's impossible.

It means you need good luck to go on the road and win a wildcard game. Much more than you'd need if you were sitting at home with a bye.

I don't think you need THAT much more luck.

It's just more important that your team is playing well.

I hope we learn from these losses, make adjustments and get back to playing well at the very end of the season. I'd rather be playing well and have to go on the road than to continue playing shitty and play at home.

[Silock]

It's almost like you already responded to this very post in this very thread, Silock.

From 2-14 to 9-0 and then 3 straight losses. At least the losses weren't blowouts.

I'm not happy right now, but at least I see some progress from the organization.

do not take this to personal

losing close is worse than a blow out
a few catches, better d play we win
instead just close

You're a ****ing moron.

losing close is worse than a blow out

LMAO

[Psyko Tek]

You have to have some perspective here. Would you prefer we weren't getting better, and still ended up with a 2-14 record? It's incredibly unrealistic to think that we could turn the whole thing around in 1 year.

If you can't take some solace in the fact that we're, overall, better than we were last year, I don't know what to tell you.

I feel like I just got punched in the gut (same feeling three weeks in a row sucks), but there's got to be some hope somewhere.

alex smith is getting better the oline was better today
the WR's and the whole fucking Defense got worse
or maybe never were worth a shit

Dude, this isn't an either-or, black-white extremist thing that you're taking it to.

Are we better than last year? Unequivocally yes.

Are we as good as we need to be to win a Super Bowl? Unlikely.

Do we have some areas that have shown massive improvement? Yes!

Do we have some areas that have shown to still be huge holes of sucking suckness? Yes!

... but we're still better than we were last year.

They beat nine teams and lost to Denver, arguably the best team in the NFL, twice.

Denver ain't that good
today we got anybody with 2 yards of the 5head and his passes went high damn neart everytime
once agaun we lost, they didn't beat us poor play calling and poor CBs did

[KC_Connection]

So, the NFL game and its rules are exactly the same as 15 or 20 years ago?
Never said any such thing. Doesn't change the fact that home teams, on average, win more often than road teams and that playing one less 50/50 game is an advantage.

Do we have some areas that have shown to still be huge holes of sucking suckness? Yes!

... but we're still better than we were last year.Did we just piss away a chance at winning our division? Yes.

Did we just piss away a chance at playing two games to get to the SB instead of three? Yes.

Those are the things I'm upset about. Maybe I'll be all warm and fuzzy when the season is over and I can look back at W/L and a playoff berth as being good enough. Right now I think I'll only be satisfied with a team that can compete for a SB. And that's because my expectations change as the season unfolds.

Once we got to 5-0ish or better I had high hopes. And I'm going to keep them there.

Everyone else can feel free to keep their same expectations from August.

The Chiefs weren't going to win out, even if they won today.

They're a good team, not a great team.

That should always be the goal, but that's just not realistic for this team this year.

If your expectations are always unrealistic, you'll always be disappointed.

If your expectations are always unrealistic, you'll always be disappointed.It was realistic for this team this year. They had their best start in a DECADE..

It's never realistic for the Chiefs. They're never likely to win anything meaningful, ever.

Except for the fact that we started 9-0 and had three straight divisional games to prove our worth and secure a #1 seed. And we couldn't.

Yeah, I'm a touch disappointed.

Wait, you think it is realistic for this team to win a Super Bowl this year?

[Prison Bitch]

If they don't win a single playoff game after starting 9-0, Dorsey & Reid deserved to get their shit pushed in by the fanbase.

[Pablo]

Wait, you think it is realistic for this team to win a Super Bowl this year?It's realistic for a whole bunch of teams this year. At the start of the day there were still 31 playoff eligible teams.

It's just more of a long shot now since we will have to play an extra game and possibly none at home in the playoffs.

Did I have this expectation at the start of the season? Hell no.

[Silock]

It's realistic for a whole bunch of teams this year.

Well, we'll have to agree to disagree there.

Wouldn't be the first time.

How is it people stating we "wasted a golden opportunity" are the same ones who basically call the team frauds?

If we are frauds we had no real chance anyway.

If we aren't frauds we are still a pretty damn good football team.

You don't get to play both sides. I don't think any of the people posting this shit even realize they are contradicting themselves.
