Why would they have a hangover this year and not last year? If anything, last year's SB performance should motivate them. Or is playing in the SB every year mentally draining?

Last years SB showed them they arent as good as they thought they were. Teams are following the Buccs blue print and our coaches can't scheme around it.

Drop 8 in coverage a lot more.

Tell Mahomes to stay in the ****ing pocket.

Simple.

Chiefs are not going to always score a lot a ton of pts every single game which is why it is so important to have some balance. Offenses have games where they are off. It happens.

Overall, Chiefs are 3rd in total yards and 5th in ppg. Not bad at all and I'm sure they will get back on track next game.

20 INT isn't terrible if paired with 55 TDs. I also highly doubt that he'll have 20. Most of them have been unlucky.

I'm going to say one thing here before I catch up on the rest... I mean you people do realize how ****ing wet it was last night?

Mahomes putting a few in the dirt and a few drops by WRs should have been largely expected. I don't think it anything else had to do with it. You guys act like Mahomes forgot how to throw a football or Reek forgot how to catch. Silly.

Coaches refusing to adjust is also a big one.

Running game,slants and halfback passes with safeties so deep shreds this.

The problem is we want chunks when we should just eat them up five yards at a time.

Pride.

People haven't learned to ignore what he says by now?

I mean. It would be worth the chance to see if he can be that guy by actually handing the ball off to him on occasion.

Still not that worried. The playoffs don't start tomorrow. I think the defense will get better throughout the year.

If they start dropping games to shit teams, then it's time to worry.

Haven't posted in a long time, but feel the need to vent a bit after last night.

Going back even to the last year or two with Alex Smith, the Chiefs really don't lose games unless they get dominated at the LOS on both sides of the ball. Often with Mahomes, we win games even when that happens. We did kind of uncharacteristically gave away the other two games, but last night we were dominated up front. I think our OL is overrated as a unit. I haven't been impressed.

Hate to say it, but it seems Josh Gordon is going to be the key as to whether we will go on a run this year. With him in there, just forget about trying to establish the run (and giving up downs and effectively putting more pressure on Mahomes) and just throw it almost every down. With a third target, it doesn't matter if the OL is only average.

Winning this year has relied on Mahomes being almost perfect on third down and he's been very very good until last night. With this D, we can only punt a few times a game (at most) and hope to win. We have to internalize that into our game plan and give up on the run. If Gordon learns the playbook and stays clean, we have the ability to beat anyone if we completely unleash Mahomes.

The road looks much tougher than most of us expected, but I don't see the sky falling.

Basically, KC has a low margin for error vs the top teams, but I still think they're capable of beating anyone. And I still expect them to overwhelm the bad/mediocre teams.

From my TV it looked like Gay started playing more in the second half snd the whole defense played a lot better once that happened.

I doubt it was because of Gay. They started actually attacking instead of that bullshit "bend but don't break". They attacked all through the 2nd half and for the most part it worked.
