Yet another Chiefs choke job

[petegz28]

You knew as soon as Mariota got the lucky bounce this game was in trouble. The play calling in the 2nd half was terrible. Guys dropping balls. And the Bob Sutton defense showed up or rather didn't show up.


Andy and Sutton thought an 18 pt lead was safe. Couple that with a missed FG, an absolute bullshit non-fumble call that led to a FG, 0 points off of 2 turnovers and well....the Chiefs blow an 18 pt lead at home to lose yet another 1st round playoff game at home.

Mahomes ain't fixing this as long as Andy is too scared to stay on the attack. If Bob Sutton isn't immediately fired then you can also say Mohomes isn't fixing anything.

[TLO]

CHUEFS

[BlackHelicopters]

Because Chiefs

[mr. tegu]

As soon as that TD happened the game was over.

[JD10367]

I think what says it all about your team: if you type “choking Chiefs” you get a page of memes.

[rabblerouser]

And now Peters is having a meltdown...

[KranzDictum]

Victory formation.

[jonzie04]

What a joke of a franchise. How do you give up a 22 yard run on 3rd and 10 in that situation? Jesus fucking Christ.

[eDave]

I am absolutely shocked.

[Eleazar]

Andy Reid has lost 6 of his last 7 postseason games

[Ragged Robin]

loss to a shit QB

[smithandrew051]

This one had it all.

Epic choke job
Injuries
Bad refs
Missed field goal
Playcalling
Prevent defense crap
Fluke TD for the Titans
Failed game winning drive

[kcpasco]

I hope Andy and Alex both die from AIDS

[bevischief]

Get a rope.

[rydogg58]

Just pathetic. I'm not even shocked. I feel let down, but the sharp sting isn't there like it was in past years. I'm so used to playoff failure that I feel almost indifferent about this most recent loss. Sad bunch of fucking losers.

[petegz28]

Bob Sutton's defense has given up a collective 46 point lead in 2 playoff games.

28 points against the Colts
18 against the Titans at Arrowhead

[bajista]

Reid and Sutton need to pack up. I'd like to know if Reid took over the play calling in the 2nd half? The calls straight fucking sucked and did us in..

[RINGLEADER]

This is all on the coaches.

Especially Andy.

You're up 11 points and run the league leading rusher 5 times.

[petegz28]

I'm sure Reid will say its all on him, gotta put players in position, bla bla bla....

same shit we hear every time

[petegz28]

First question, why did you quit running the ball and Andy has no answer....won't comment on the fumble or non-fumble call

[Red Dawg]

After this happening again how can Sutton not be fired. Clark can't really not fire him. That's two pmayoff game melt downs. Andy has to be professional and can him

[Sassy Squatch]

Jesus Reid sounds pissed in that conference.

[FloridaMan88]

Clark needs to force Andy to change up his coaching staff. Nagy should be the full time playcaller on offense. Sutton should be put out to pasture. Andy Heck should be fired as offensive line coach.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

The tackle/fumble ruled "forward progress"

Mariota's extraordinary throw and catch-TD.

The holding call to kill our first drive of the 3rd.

Orson Charles' 3rd down drop to kill the second drive of the 3rd.

Butker's missed FG.

The personal foul that offset the running into the punter penalty.

Jones going down.

Kelce going down.

4 dropped passes.

Premature snap with Smith (overthrowing?) missing Albert (alligator armed?)

Failing to stop them on 3rd and 10.

Franchise is cursed. Cursed.

A terrible call you left out was the roughing of the kicker call that would have given the Chiefs a 1st down. Instead there was a phantom personal foul called, no flag thrown, to offset the penalty and make KC re-kick.

Really???

I think #40 did commit a foul on that play and I think I saw it in real time, he appeared to shove a Titan down from behind after the play was over.

[ptlyon]

Wonder why pre game analysis kept bringing up last years comeback victory for the Titans?

[HC_Chief]

He did... #45 (KC) retaliated and they flagged him for it. A TEN player shoved one of the Chiefs players and #45 shoved him in the back. Second guy always gets the foul.

[kcxiv]

And now Peters is having a meltdown...

fuck, if i was a player i would think about wanting to get the fuck away from this team as well. Now, i cant blame him. He might want out and i dont blame him. I kinda want out too! lol

[Mennonite]

Wonder why pre game analysis kept bringing up last years comeback victory for the Titans?

Because it looked like it was going to be a Chiefs blowout and they needed to say something to keep people tuned in?

[TEX]

All very good suggestions.

[Best22]

It wasn't rigged. Nobody cares about the Titans. KC probably has the bigger more dedicated fanbase

There were some very bad calls though

[ptlyon]

Yeah... That's it. I forgot.

[Bwana]

That was one of those games I'm glad I missed live. I recorded it and speed watched the choke job.

[milkman]

Every other missed call, blown call, or missed opportunity would not have mattered had the Chiefs remained on attack on offense rather than going to conservative mode as soon as they got that 18 point lead.

Smith showed this year that he can make plays within the offense when the Chiefs are attacking and stretching the field.

When they went conservative, those plays are not there.

This loss falls squarely on the shoulders of Reid and Nagy.

I'm not sure "fix" is the right, but if Mahomes keeps the gunslinger mentality, he could fix this.

When plays aren't there within the offense, or they break down, the gunslinger will make plays outside the play called.

That's what Reid, and the Chiefs, need.

I told my wife the minute that Robinson score the Chiefs 3rd TD that this was the point that the Titans begin their comeback.

[CaliforniaChief]

If only "going conservative" actually meant trying to run the football.

Also, for all of Nagy's interviews, that 2nd half ain't gonna be a solid closing argument for him.

[TEX]

Kelce going down really hurt. The play that KILLED the Chiefs was the 3rd and 5 dropped pass by # 82. would have been an easy 1st down. :shake:

My Dad was pretty upset.. I'm surprised that after all we have seen through the years, he really thought we were going to win this game. I'm numb to this shit. Maybe the future will be better. :(

I could not possibly agree more with this. This team wasn't bad. When Alex was in attack mode, we moved the sticks and could hang with anyone. We have playmakers to compete. It's when we have some lead and decide to play defensive that this team always reverts back to abortion mode.

I think Mahomes can fix that. Get rid of Smith, get a couple picks, save 17mm to spend on complementary help. And we'll be back here again next year.

That was Keith Reaser.. I don't remember seeing that on the punt, but he was flagged for that on a different occasion.

it's the fuckin playoffs. don't act surprised.

We won the TO battle by two against a legit terrible offense and still lost.

Do you think the Chiefs would have won a playoff game in which they were minus 2 in turnover differential?


ROFL

Chiefs=losers

Hope Mahomes can change that

[petegz28]

We also didn't make that legit terrible offense punt once in the 2nd half. It's one thing to say that against Manning\Harrison\Wayne...it's another to say it against Mariota\Decker\Walker

Wow I didn’t even make that connection. That’s horrendous. Given the time and deficit if they punt just once we probably win.

Mohomes won't change it if Reid doesn't quit the conservative shit every time we get a lead. The play calling in the 2nd half was fucking abysmal, scared shit. When we go vertical we do good and we score. When we go sideways consistently, we don't do good and we don't score.

It's really that simple.

You gotta wonder if it's the play calling. It seems like it, but then you look at last week's game where the same guys are calling plays. I dunno.

[petegz28]

You gotta wonder if it's the play calling. It seems like it, but then you look at last week's game where the same guys are calling plays. I dunno.

Look at the pattern, especially this year. Whenever we get a lead or whenever we get pinned inside of our own 20, etc., the play calling starts going very conservative.

After the Titans scored in the 2nd half, you could tell we went into a shell for probably 2 reasons..

A) Reid wanted to eat clock and not turn it over
B) No Kelce so no down field

The problem was that Hunt was completely taken out of the game by the coaches. We did the Titans a favor by going one dimensional when we still had an 11 pt lead.

I have to think when Kelce went down Reid took over the play calling. It sure looked like we reverted back to the Steelers game plays and not the last couple of weeks.

Absolutely agree. Reid plays to lose. Has never learned his lesson.

Conservative Play Calling
Smith:
2016 when ahead by 9+ points: 65 QB rating
2015 when ahead by 9+ points: 73 QB rating


Aggressive play calling:
Smith with 4+ receivers
2014: 63/95, 66% complet, 7.08 avg, 10 td’s, 1 INT…117.6 rating
2015: 73/110, 66% completion, 7.00 avg, 6TD/1 INT, 100.9 rating
2016: 146/193, 75% completion, 7 avg, 8TD/3INT, 101.8 rating

[KCFTW]

Reid can put together a great game plan, but if the other team figures out how to counter it, he is not able to adjust. He just hopes that we will get enough breaks to survive. He and Sutton are exactly the same in this regard, and both need to go. We only needed 1 TD in the 2nd half and it was inexcusable to not get that, even accounting for Kelce and the awful officiating. Allowing Tenn to get a TD on three straight drives in 2nd half also inexcusable.
