Here is the truth
There is not another team in the NFL that could have came back from that abortion. Everything that could have gone wrong-did go wrong.
This team is something special.
THEY GOT THIS
WE GOOD

1st Quarter I Had doubts but kept them private... thank you slow server

Only one I doubted was Toub. Still do. His group cost us 15 points yesterday.

I was a schmuck. Won't happen again

Needs to change his name to Hotime.

But his group also helped get us back in the game with Hardman's return and Thompson's fumble recovery...

Amen

I wont be eating an edible before the Tits game.. You'd have thought i was going through menopause during the first quarter. I do the discord chat, which is awesome dudes, and I said some shit like "I've NEVER turned off a Chiefs game, but I don't know if I can sit through this shit for another 3 hours." I put my phone down (how I cp/discord), took mine and the pups jerseys off, and went out for a smoke. I had to clear my head. I step back inside RIGHT as Hardman had the awesome kick return. I thought "My God, Dave, have you no faith? Have you forsaken the Messiah?" and put that shit right back on them and I. I think, like Abraham, the Lord Patrick was merely testing our faith. Some passed, some failed, but our Lord Patrick is a good and forgiving savior.

Never again will I doubt this team. I know we'll lose some games, and I know we MIGHT not win 19 straight SBs, but I will never give up on them again. Amen.

You've grown up alot man you just became a dad righr?

I was wrong as **** and I'll admit it. I referenced Reids playoff record and I thought it was fair given down being 24-0. Even the mistakes made by the O and special teams our defense did look like the same team from October that first quarter and the Texans were using the same game plan that was effective beating us in October. This isnt an excuse or a defense it's my honest to god thoughts at the time.

I'm glad we pulled it out. I still think it's fair to question Reids post season record after 2 decades of coaching it is what it is. The difference is he now has a HOF QB. I got alot of shit in another thread for mentioning Reids demeanor on the sideline down 21-0 but it was true. One guy who didnt looked rattled at all was out 2nd year as a starting QB. His confidence rubs off on the whole team and you can see it.

I'm glad I was wrong and the Chiefs came back. I love this team and love Big Red. I just cant handle anymore heartbreak and that's all this team has done to me in the 30+ years I've been on this earth. I apologize if my overreaction this season killed anyones vibe this should be a time of celebration. Were gonna ****in bring Lamars trophy back to where it belongs.

Being honest I never doubted all I said was unbelievable and at the end of the first quarter took off my Mahomes jersey and put on a red muscle shirt and the rest is history.

I was never really concerned with the score. Pat is never out of it. BUT, when Tyreek took that massive hit, I thought he might be done for the game. Either a cracked rib or maybe something popping back up with his shoulder. And I’m not entirely sure we’d have been able to complete the comeback without the full complement on offense. That’s a tough SOB though. Salute!

It's interesting;

My intent with the thread was not so much about THE GAME as it was just the season overall.

Since the offseason, there were tons of CP'ers that hated Spags hiring, hated the free agent signings, Honey Badger is JAG, Clark sucks, Veach doesn't know what he's doing, Hardman was a HUGE REACH, ANDY MUST GO, all that stuff.

I suppose I was looking for a simple I WAS WRONG BABY FOR DOUBTING YOU LET'S GO! sort of hey look at all the stuff that went right this year.

I wasn't really intending it to be the Texans game confessional.

But it was kind of fun so I let it go.

I love the people in here who are leaning toward the "I never had a doubt" side side of the discussion, even when we were down 24-0.

Look I've "repented" for being mean last Sunday, but anybody who didn't have a doubt when we spotted a play-off team 24 points, well, that's nuts. You might have been "hopeful" instead of "mad" like some of us were, but to act like you knew we'd pull-out a 20 point win, well, that nuts. The most one can point to is that what lead to the 24 points was a serious series of unfortunate and uncanny 'events' (muffed punts, dropped passes, blocked punts, and terribly missed assignments) that lead to the 24 points, and they were fixable by simply not doing them anymore.

In b4, "That's not what I said".

And I'll tell you this, we sure as hell better not decide to spot the Tits 24 points. I don't think the Tits will implode quite like the Texans did on offense. The D's going to have their hands full with Henry, so let's hope we keeps the mental mistakes to a minimum.

We still have two games to go and we're pretty healthy, so we better have everybody ready to go, with their heads and emotions on straight, at the 15:00 point of the 1st quarter this coming week, not early in the 2nd...

and like said, the intent was more about the SEASON, and all the things that went right and not really about THE GAME.

I just read that reply.. Fair enough... Bump this thread after we win the SB and I'll repent.

Meh, the flow of the game dictated that we’d be right back in it. My expectations were to be down 24-14 going into the half, with the ball to start the 3rd quarter. In fact, I was more nervous at 21-0 than 24-0. Once he kicked the FG it almost felt like a tap out and I knew the Chiefs were winning the game.

Curious to see if Vrabel uses Harbuagh’s strategy and goes for 2 early on. That’s assuming they can score on our D.

Where’s Showtime?

That piece of shit needs to come out from under the rock & repent. ****ing loser.

I think quite a few people as the season went on were saying about the defense, "this isn't good enough to win in the playoffs", but of course they turned the corner and everything is different now. Same with Andy and time management gaffes, poor challenges, etc. The team getting better as the season goes on makes everything easier. Doesn't mean it wasn't true at the time.

That is far different than the CP insta-freakouts when things aren't immediately going great like Frank Clark Sucks, HB sucks, Hardman sucks, Jones is sitting out as a business decision, Veach blew both drafts, a call went against us so the game must be rigged, Spagnuolo was a bad hire, many pronouncements of "game over" sunday, etc

The former is sober realism based on the facts up to that point, the latter is internet dip-****ery

Okay....I admit it. I said, "Cause Chiefs....." a couple times this season AND Sundays game. I'm sorry, Daddy....I mean Forgive me, Father....... I'm not religious so I got those two phrases mixed up...

Couldn't have said it better. :clap:

I'm not repenting shit. When they were down 24 - 0 I was calling for Reid's head, because after a bye week and you come out like that, then someone's head is going to roll if we lost that game. Just because we had the perfect storm of Patrick being Patrick, Bill O'Brien being a ****ing clown, and the Texans Defense and Offense losing morality once halftime came about, doesn't mean Andy isn't on thin ice. It's go time, as Soren Petro says, "You're in the get it right business, and your job is to get it right." We've given Andy the better part of a decade to get it right and he came close last year, which bought him this year and next year. If we would've lost that game the way we were losing it, in the first game, after having the bye, YET AGAIN, I would've been good with see ya Andy! We'll figure this out with someone else. By winning that game, I won't question him if he loses on Sunday, or in the Super Bowl, he's bought next year, but you better not regress back to one and done in the playoffs, especially with the roster we have. We were getting blown out and shouldn't expect our team to be invincible and come back 51 - 7 everytime we need it because it's definitely the exception, and not the rule. Can he come back from that? Sure, it's possible. But if it doesn't happen I'm not going to be an ass and come on the boards and demand everyone who thought Patrick would come back and he didn't deserves to repent. **** that, you be a Chiefs fan in your way and I'll be a Chiefs fan in my way. Andy went to numerous NFC Title Games and then the Super Bowl and lost and that bought him a good amount of years after that of mediocrity and not sniffing the title game with the Eagles, so they eventually fired him. You have to look at him and say this is who he is, until he proves us wrong.

"Lighten up, Francis..."

You might have BP issue going on, pal.... but thanks for the permission to be a Chiefs fan my way. I appreciate that.

Nope, no Blood Pressure issues. After all of the years we've all spent with our head in our hands after playoff losses and one and done's and wasting good teams on mediocre effort/coaching, I'm purely within my right to tell the OP where he can shove his repent nonsense. I'll be there on Sunday just like I was last Sunday, just like I was for last years Playoff games, hoping I didn't waste my money, time, emotions, and fandom on a team that says they appreciate them, but can't get to big game in 50 years.

I understand your angst. You are tougher than me. I let my season tix go years ago. I no longer wanted to financially support an inferior product. But I am still a fan. BUT telling a tongue in cheek OP to shove it, might show that you take either football or BB's way too seriously. Or maybe you don't get "tongue in cheek"?

So, yes, you are purely within your right. But it's not overly flattering. And does make you seem a bit angry.

it's almost like the rest of your post contradicts this sentence.

And thanks for the History lesson., but some of us are in the moment.

I hope you can feel it. it's pretty damn exciting.

Yep, I'm Feeling Alright!!!! Well, me and Joe Cocker.....

Forgive them, First Down Elvis, for they not know what they post...

I never actually thought about this before (not saying that's anything new ... there are lots of things I've never thought about before), but ...

Is it possible that, when watching sports, our expectations are more reflective of our own personal outlook than that of the team?

In other words, if we expect things to go badly in our own lives ("Because Me?"), we project those prospects on our coaches and players?

Expectation theory has a lot of advocates, after all. In the world of finance and education (for example) the idea has traction among many. Could it apply in sports, as well?

It's certainly not out of the realm of possibility. And if it is true, one could reasonably argue that it's best to not boo your team when things go south ... or surrender prematurely to hopelessness.

Who knows? As Marshawn says, it might be the best thing for your mentals.

FAX THE THOUGHTFUL

rabble. clay and 007 and I were pretty calm, considering. I mentioned that Pat had already put up 28 in a qtr.....next thing you know....MAJOR kudos to the Defense getting off the filed and and giving the ball back to pat.

Trust me on this, I was so mad I walked out on the Triplette call. I'd never done that before.


But on Sunday...I just wasn't within a million miles of defeat. It was surreal to me. I trusted Pat. I trusted the D. ...then it became obvious we just were NOT going to be denied.

That said, I felt like I'd had a heart attack by half time.... so much adrenaline flowing through my veins.

Just an amazing day.

I firmly believe that this is true.

I know that Joe Sixpack is a little too invested in the team and thinks that his booing will make a football player suddenly realize they aren't doing a good job, or that he's paid his money and has paid for the right to boo if he's unhappy.

But if we really want the crowd to make a difference, if we want to maximize our homefield advantage, that extends to everything. When they do well we back them. When they are struggling we back them even harder.

Booing doesn't have any place in this situation. It provides no benefit to us. It only benefits the other team. Our team should know we are with them and not against them, no matter what. It's Andy's job to correct mental errors and enforce discipline. It's our job to urge them on and to attack the other team.

When 14 points were given away on special teams, after the other snafus this year with Winchester and blocked punts........I wanted to strangle the **** out of Dave Toub.

DRob was pissing me the **** off. Even when it was 24-21 he dropped it on 2nd and goal.

Well ...

According to my theory-in-progress, this could mean that you either A) have a choking fetish or B) you may have an emerging asthma problem and need to consult a physician.

On the other hand, maybe Toub deserves to die.

I'm still working out the details of my hypothesis.

well, ASS, that wasn't the intent of the thread. The intent of the thread was about all the knee jerk reactions all season wrong. I wasn't intending it to be about THE GAME. But you decided to ASSUME that, and if you'd read the thread, you'd know that wasn't what I was talking about.

It was supposed to be about all the ANDY SUCKS, SPAG SUCKS, VEACH GOTTA GO, HONEY BADGER IS JAG, CLARK SUCKS stuff.

A positive post, really, where we'd talk about how despite all the injuries, so many things went VERY RIGHT after all this year.

Other took it and ran with it about THE GAME, which was therapeutic I guess in it's own way and sort of entertaining. But wasn't the intent.

But you do you.

My hope quotient declined to about 65% or so when we were down 24-zip. That lasted through the next commercial ... then I recovered. Like you, I recalled the Faider game.

The main thing that helped me through was the method whereby the Toxins got their points. An unusual bust by Ward, the blocked punt, and the muff by Tyreek ... those were outliers and highly rare mistakes. I chalked it up to nerves.

Once I came to my senses, I knew we had plenty of time to right the ship. But here's the main reason my mentals were actually pretty good overall; Mahomes + Wally After A Bye.

We have one of the most skilled offenses in NFL history right now. You simply can't hold them down forever.

Both on and off the field, it all boils down to mentals in the end.

FAX

Amen.

I can only imagine what a confidence booster this was for the team.

Team hasn't lost by more than 7 since Pat took over. That Texans game was over with 13 minutes to go..the score never changed.

We are LITERALLY in every game, regardless.

There has been a calm over me all season. I was not too concerned about the outcome of the game. I've been a Chiefs fan for over 25 years. I lived in Wichita as a child and moved around until my family settled in Lindale/Tyler area of East Texas.

I latched onto the Chiefs due to Joe Montana, prior Kansas roots and the fact that they were the Dallas Texans. I played football with Pat Mahomes senior. He was on JV and I scrimmaged against him. He and I have know each other for almost 30 years, although we were never close friends. More FB friends.

The reason I'm talking about my past is that I believe that this is a team of destiny. The Chiefs are in existence because of the oil fields of East Texas. Lamar Hunt and the Hunt Family lived in Tyler, Texas where PM II was born and raised. In away PM II will not only be bringing the trophy home to KC but he will also be repping Tyler, Lindale and Whitehouse Texas. It is gonna happen.

That really happened, didn't it??

If you're not used to Chiefs fans having knee jerk reactions by now, then you never will. You taking offense to my post is the same thing I did to yours, but you do you.

really? I know you are but what am I?

It was glorious!

INDEED.

5 hail Patricks, 2 Fat Andys, rip your sleeves off and pour one out for Gunther.


:)

Same here. Admittedly, I was thinking oh know, not again. But I was still holding out hope because we have Mahomes and we have seen him score a bunch of points in a short time in other games. But yeah, I was ready to fire Toub. That's twice this season that I can remember that we've had a punt blocked. Prior to this year, I can't remember when was the last time that happened. WTF is going on with your STs, Dave?
