Since we need to find a new RB coach this offseason I recommend someone and he’s actually Interested in the job. None other than KCs own Charcandrick West

I’ll always be excited for the season as long as we have Mahomes, but that’s the kind of loss that makes it hard to get over until TC is starting up and hope is back.

I honestly enjoy the offseason as much as the regular season though. I love the draft and the start of free agency.

The draft in particular is like a constant reminder that we lost. Every time I see a mock draft and that 31st pick I’m going to be sick lol.

Sounds like a front running bandwagon fan.

I know your not, not calling you that, but that’s what it sounds like.

No, I’m just very competitive (which admittedly makes me a sore loser) and losing to Tom Brady just makes this one THAT much worse.

Losing a SB? Sucks, but what are we going to do now in free agency and the draft?

Losing a SB to Tom Brady cementing his legacy? Wake me up in September.

My recommendation is turn off all sports media for awhile. Sister****ers like Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith will just stir it up on you. Get some time away, you'll be back.

Not at all.

We still have a literal god under center.

Sucks we lost a shitty Super Bowl, but, my goodness, I'm a ****ing Chiefs fan who had to live through the 2003 no defense team, the Herm Edwards, Scott Pioli, Todd Haley, and Romeo Crennel years.

I have had to subject myself to watching Damon "Fetal Position" Huard, Brodie "Air" Croyle, Tyler "Skeleton ****er" Thigpen, Matt "Casshole" Cassel, Tyler "Todd Haley's Rebellion" Palko, Kyle "Nobody Wants Me" Orton, and BRADY ****ING QUINN as the starting quarterbacks.

I have had to endure countless shitty drafts that sent me into the depths of despair.

I'm sorry, but being in 3 consecutive AFC championships, hosting 2 of them and making it to back to back Bowls while winning one? I'm happy as a mother****er when I take a step back and look around.

Losing to the Bucs sucked. Losing in the fashion the Chiefs did sucked even worse. Having to hear the ****tarded GOAT takes and Tom Brady for eternity sucks the worst.

Yes, we got worked by the refs, but we also saw Mahomes' godlike heart on full display (and I hope we never see it like this again).

Oh, and we also still have Veach in charge of the roster.

I think maybe there's a little bit of room optimism here.

Competition doesn't make you a sore loser. Narcissism does. Competitors understand in the game of sport, there is a winner and a loser. Sometimes your one or the other, but denying a loss because you don't think that it can happen to you isn't the hallmark of a "competitor" it's the hallmark of a sore loser.

No.

But the bitter whining by some CPers just might. There's morons here that are so deluded they think that somehow STs cost us the game. Or that it's the coaching staff's fault that we only signed 10 OLs to the team. Or that Andy trying to get our offense the ball back at the end of the first half somehow lost the game.

Probably the same dumbasses that bemoaned Andy not being aggressive enough a few weeks ago. Probably the same dipshits that never want to see Patrick execute another QB sneak because of a freak accident.

Petty little wretches deserve this loss more than anyone. Just wish they weren't fair-weather fans of the Chiefs, tbh. Let 'em go whine for the Raiders or the Jets. At least they'd have good reason to piss and moan.

You guys have the best QB in football, you'll be fine for two decades. Have fun and enjoy it.

Thank you for that non-stupid, non-knee jerk post.

On a unrelated note, Kelce had the most receiving yards ever by a TE in the super bowl

Wait, you think calling a timeout when they had 3rd and 2 on their 40 with 40 seconds left was a good idea?

I think he was trying to get the ball back for the office with the hope that we could book and a couple of scores between the end of the 1s half and the beginning of the 2nd. You know, try to grab some Momentum.

I think he was rolling the dice, to try and get the team back in the game. Yeah, it was pretty aggressive. And the armchair quarterbacks can now second-guess that decision to their hearts content. With the advantage of 20/20 hindsight.

But in that moment, when he called the Time out, I was all for it. I wanted the opportunity for our offense to get the ball back; because I knew that all we needed was a little break here or a little break there and Patrick could lead them to a score, even with just a few seconds left on the clock.

Because we’ve watched them do it more than a few times over the past three years. Or have All you whiners forgotten that?

It was a high risk/high reward kind of call. Kind of like a Wasp, or the 48 Rose Bowl play. Unfortunately this one didn’t work out.

But since Patrick became the starter, most of these calls have worked out in our favor. And I’ll be absolutely honest, I would rather Andy roll the dice, then the turtle up the way he did sometimes with Alex Smith at the helm.

It’s antithetical to take the conservative way out, when you have the weapons this team has combined with the most talented quarterback the world has ever seen. The whole point of this team is going for it; putting pressure on the other team all the time.

But that also means sometimes you’re not always going to be successful.

I can live with that. Apparently some of you don’t have the balls for it.

Fortunately for Patrick, Reid really does have the balls to make those kinds of calls. And I’ll bet a month’s salary that that will end up translating into more Super Bowl rings then calling it conservative over the next 10 years.

Eh I usually purge myself of all things Chiefs and NFL until the draft no matter what each year so it’ll be no different this year...just stings more.

No it was dumb as shit. Best case scenario is that we get the ball back with 30 seconds left and 1 timeout. That was the absolute best case scenario. We were hoping Brady who I think at that point had like 80% completion to have an incomplete pass or for Fournette to not be able to get 2 yards. Given that the offense as at that point was amazingly terrible and couldn't protect Mahomes to save their life, there was no upside to it. There was no hope of even getting to field goal position with the way our offense was playing.

You can check the game thread. This isn't a case of hindsight being 20/20. People in the moment knew that was a stupid decision. There's a difference between being aggressive and being stupid. That was stupid.

In hindsight, it was dumb. But it wasn't blanket dumb. It was dumb because the team wasn't ready to perform explosively that day.

A regularly running 2020 Chiefs team, you call that, get the stop and salvage some last minute points. Or even if you give up the couple yards for the first, you stop them for a couple more plays outside FG range same as if you hadn't called the TO at all.

But this team was off and hampered. They shit the bed on the first stop, then the refs reamed them, then they did again.

You don't play a SB game with our weapons expecting back to back ridiculous PIs to be the consequence of a gamble. Playing to close out the half with our tail between our legs would have sent the message that you have no faith in the team and just want the day over with.

I didn't mind the first time out. But after the Bucs gained 8 yards on 2nd down and they seemed content to let the clock run down, ****ing let them. Like I said, after that 8 yard gain, the best case scenario was us getting the ball back with 30 seconds left. Now what? You're going to get Pat killed some more before the half trying to run deep plays to hopefully get in field goal position? There was just no upside to that second timeout at all.

The side bets are going to kill me
I have to continue to grow my no- trim beard.
It's a year old now and I look like I should star in the Dukes of Hazard remake.

I have to wear this in public once a week. I don't think people on AZ will notice.

https://i.postimg.cc/kgNqT3zf/RIM-Bl...024-009127.jpg

I did make out on all my bets on post season bets.

So no, It's all good 'till next year.

My side bets are going to kill me in the off season

I have to wear this in public once a week.

https://i.postimg.cc/kgNqT3zf/RIM-Bl...024-009127.jpg..

I have to try to grow my beard to 5.6" as I can't trim my beard again this year. It's about half that now.

yeah...it did for me..

last offseason I watched all the Micd ups, Inside NFLs, re-watched all the games, re-watched the Super bowl like a million times. . . all year long. . up until the season. .

this offseason...ill prob watch the mic'd up once just to see what the **** actually happened. . but then i wont be thinking or watching any chiefs stuff until august (except the draft)

that's the depressing part

No, it sucks catching crap from co-workers as if anyone in the building is more critical of a dog shit performance than i am. But with all the impending free agents, a ****ed up cap, and this defeat, im hopeful takes the next step where he gets Peyton and Bradyesque and just takes over practice and meetings lining guys out. A step towards perfection you could say. Right now theres so many bullshit mental mistakes i dont believe that theyre working for that level of detail.

Outside of the penalties, the Super Bowl was just an embarrassment. I haven't watched any post game stuff because I don't really want to hear 2013 Andy Reid speak.

Andy Reid did not have the team ready to compete, and he was thoroughly out coached. The two timeouts before the half were ridiculous, and his offensive game plan, and lack of adjustments made me believe that his mind was still in Kansas City with Brit.

Losing sucks, but if we had been competitive, and played anywhere close to our ability, I would not be as upset as I am right now. We didn't look like we belonged on the same field as Tampa Bay. Winning Super Bowl 54 is still sustaining me, because I wasn't sure if I would ever see my team win another Super Bowl, but the way we lost, and the lack of effort by everyone not named Mahomes, has turned me off of football until probably day 1 of the draft.

Sent from my GM1915 using Tapatalk

Watched the game again. Guys it wouldn’t have mattered if Fisher was out there. I hate saying that but it’s true.

They wanted it way more than we did.

Nah, if Mahomes isn't facing jailbreak blitz levels of pressure every other play while they're rushing 4 with 7 in coverage things go differently.

You’re worse than Penbrook sometimes.

The only thing I’m not looking fwd to in the off season is this TB12 media blitz. Gonna have to tune out the NFL at least until draft day.

First post since Sunday.

I find myself not that upset. Hindsight, we were rolling out a god awful OL all the way across the board against that DL. It was obvious, we just dind't wanna see it.

Once we got behind and they knew what was coming, it wasn't gonna matter. You can't win in the league when a whole unit is full of not just backups, but 3rd stringers playing out of position.

It is what it is.

Why? It's like watching the worst movie ever, and then watching it again two days later.

Truth hurts bud

Yeah man it’s not like the rest of the OL wasn’t getting absolutely butt****ed by their DL. Idc what position Wylie played. He was getting butt****ed at RG all year.

Sammy played roughly 20 snaps aka he was worthless bc he was hurt. Mecole was worthless. Robinson was worthless.
Kelce and Tyreek dropped passes they usually catch.

And then the defense got crushed. The Bucs destroyed their souls running the ball in the 2nd half. Literally did what they wanted until they called off the dogs when it was 31-9.

Almost nobody showed up except for Patrick and Butker.

Offensive line issues compound exponentially as you replace your starters. When you start to move them around, it just becomes an unmitigated disaster.

An OL unit can take 1 person getting hurt and still work okay with a solid backup. 2 backups is much more difficult but serviceable. When you're rolling out 4 backups AND they have to play out of position, you would get destroyed even by average D Lines.

We faced like a top 3 unit. You saw the result.

Eric Fisher would have absolutely made a huge difference not only because he's so much better than Remmers at LT but also because Remmers would then play RT where he's much better than Remmers at LT.

It's not a difficult concept to understand.

When it's jailbreak to your QB, the WR's and stuff just aren't gonna matter. You've gotta have some offensive line.

It's really amazing to me the Chiefs did what they did this year with the OL being what it was.

This..turning my focus towards college basketball.

Part of that jailbreak was scheme. I’ll have to find the video but on many plays they’d rush Suh on the RT to cut Patrick off from moving outside the pocket to his right, then JPP went inside on the LT and Barrett just ran around from the right side to the left as they filtered Patrick that way. He got a free rush right in Patrick’s face.

Bowles had a great gameplan. It sucks that we got ****ed but it is what it is.

Now we have to adjust

Sure, gameplan and all. But teams have done that all year.

They were just more talented than we were up there. People are making this out to be more than it is.

The Bucs were able to get tremendous pressure with 4 guys and dropped 7. When you do that, the other team doesn't have a chance.

So yeah, we can adjust by not having 3rd stringers and dudes off the street play G and T.

I picture it like Jenga.

We kept removing guys and the structure kept standing.

We pulled out the Fisher block and...

I deleted all the programs I usually watch...GMFB, Get Up, PFT, Cowherd, NFL Live & Total Access. When the draft starts getting closer, I'll start watching again.

The Tommy Brady ballwashing is disgusting. I know the guy has more rings than any NFL team now but do I have to hear about it constantly?

I now see where people want the NFL to retire the #12. Seriously?

Well, let's see. The season ended with the worst lost in years, it's cold as **** outside, and I hate basketball and have zero interest in hockey.

The offseason is kind of self-ruining.

Great analogy

Yup. That's perfect.

It just seemed like we weren’t there mentally. The first error with Mecole on that deep pass, then the second where he wasn’t even looking for the ball on that sideline pass.

Then after that we had a shot for a first down on a great pass but Kelce was open and had an awful drop.

Then the punter dropped the ball.

Then we made some absolutely stupid mistakes like an offsides penalty and Chris Jones being baited.

We were just not there mentally

It pains me that Mecole is not thriving in an offense where 80% of the defense's effort is spent on 2 other dudes.

Using route running to gain separation on a DB is a critical skill for WR's.

Mecole just can't be trusted to do it right now.

He also lacks football IQ/understanding when it comes to adjusting his routes based on the coverage he's [not] seeing.

He's basically a really fast guy with decent hands. We need more football players like Kelce, Reek, and CEH.

Yup. I was really hoping I was wrong when we passed on Terry McLaurin but Mclaurin is a real #1.

mourning seems very appropriate, several things considered

Yep, he would have been Al Davis' wet dream. A track star pretending to be a receiver.

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but this game was similar to another game earlier in the playoffs.

LA demolished Seattle's high powered offense by dominating the line of scrimmage. Russell Wilson had nowhere to go with the football. Didn't have enough time. Couldn't get the ball to his targets.

We were a fire breathing dragon in the AFC Title game. We were flying around with swagger and confidence.

That team never showed up for the Super Bowl.

Just really bizarre.

I lost it once. I think it was the first quarter when Hardman quit on a route and Mahomes threw it to where he would have been if he kept running. I stopped watching with about 6 minutes left in the first half. Didn't check the score once until the next day. I was a little down but over it now.

Its gotta be the Britt Reid thing, nothing else makes much sense IMO

You wouldn't think it'd affect the players to the same degree as Andy, but it seems to have somehow cast a pall over the whole damn team

The defense forced two consecutive punts, with one being a 3-and-out.

They absolutely showed up. And then the penalties started.

I'm pretty confident that Hardman ****ed the offensive game plan to hell and back and we never really recovered from it. It seemed like he was going to be the focus of the offense early game while Hill and Kelce had the attention of 4 defenders and he just let us down over and over and over. Let off the throttle on what could've been a TD and failed to get his head around twice. After that Mahomes seemed to abandon him except for a couple of plays down the stretch where he failed to do anything of significance once again and actually fell down on what may have been a big gain play. Not to mention his horrific offsides.

I don't care about following that stuff anyway so "no"

That's actually a really good take. I bet you're spot on.

Mecole was worse than awful this game.

Guys this could have been so much worse. Imagine if this happened last year?

50 year wait only to get curb stomped?

Some of you might have snapped and killed a mother****er

He sucks ass. He’s worthless.

Did the Britt Reid stupidity cause it?

First intelligent thing i've read in this thread.

:facepalm:
JFC.

Not as much as I would have expected it to. Might have helped that the two people I talk to outside of here about football I warned that I was pretty concerned about the OL and if they would be able to hold up. So I was prepared for them to be bad, but obviously had no idea they would be as bad as they were.

Bingo.

2021 will be a joyless march to the postseason

I am hoping someone lowkey steals beinemy.

We gets an assistant defense coordinator to mix up our defense. Still want to see ray Lewis coach linebackers.

I am looking forward to the draft and what free agents want to come here.

Unless we can draft up and grab that stud tightend. Get some oline and linebackers.

All I know is I better not see this bullshit sleepwalking through games like we saw this year. I want scorched ****ing earth the entire season. Stop expecting to just flip a switch when you need it.

:rockon:

Who cares. That level of play isn't sustainable for 20 games.

Break it out when you need to rape a contender.

Otherwise just get the bye and then start the constant rape.

Sleepwalking a few games a year didn't hurt us last season and it won't hurt us next season.

This team needs. And has for a long long time to get tougher on the line of scrimmage. They need some dogs inside on the offensive line and some fire in the defensive line. This team waits for 15 to take it to the other team. He needs help. They need someone who wants to smack you in the mouth, they need a Matthieu on the o line and another on the d.

Oh we're going back to the Bowl.

This time with a legit offensive line and hopefully not so many ****ing stupid defensive penalties.
