George, as always-thanks. I am glad I did not have to see this game. Kid 2 had a gymnastics meet today. She placed in all but one event, so it was a good day there.

I was able to keep tabs on the game because gymnastics meets are 2 minutes of your child and 40 minutes of waiting and watching other teams. When the fumble happened and the TD, I closed the phone and announced game.

The season is now over to me. Time to de-chief the truck and figure out what I will be wearing on Fridays. Also, now that I have my Sunday afternoons back, I hope there will be something on TV. I will always have papers to correct and get ready for the next week of 8th graders.

Happy and Merry to all. What ever you like to celebrate. Enjoy the family. At least we can know that we are now going to get 2-3 minutes more of sunlight until June!!!!!!!

ROFL

Is Alex shitting out the Charcoal Santa jammed in his "Stocking"?

Very well put George.
Couldn't agree more.

LMAO

Marry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy holidays.

Good read man.

I can't say that I'm disappointed in the D. Rape went 18/25 220 1TD. On the ground they went 68 1TD, 72 if you take out Rapes Sack. There was only one sack, but there was respectable pressure. If you tell me we could hold the Steelers to 20 points, 368 total yards, that's good enough to win. D, and Sutton came to play. Yeah, Poe, Hali, Houston could have racked up bigger stats, but overall D got it done. 12 points wins you not a ****ing thing in the 2014 NFL.

I can't agree about Charles. How many truly meaningful games has he played in? You can say the Indy crazy concussion game, and the slaughter at Baltimore Haley's first year. I can't remember if he got any carries in the Herm abortion, but if he did, they were minimal.

Most of the other need-to-win games, were in the regular season after the team has shit it's pants and probably didn't have to be need-to-win. Whereas he has been transcendent in many of his other regular season games that were important.

It is a ****ing travesty that Charles has been a Chief. Put Charles on a decent team and it would be just unfair. Just flat out unfair. He is a generational talent, and we are just a couple years away from ****ing off his career.

I'm on the fence about Bowe. He shouldn't be too old. Maybe he's always been a jumpball kind of guy, and Smith won't throw those. I know he's better than this year's stats, but I doubt that he's as good as his paycheck. It should be noted, though, that he blocks like a bulldozer.

Right there with you with Smith, Reid, OL - namely that joke of an overall first round pick. Really good writeup overall.

Simple fact is that the good teams hold serve at home and win the ones they should win. Then you can talk about going and getting good wins. The Seattle and NE wins were great, but we should have won Titans, Faid, and Donks at home on 10 days. We win the ones we should, we are in.

Everyone talks about Bowe and how it can not get open and it is not the case. I watched Bowe specifically in the red zone and saw him running wide open by NFL standards and AS didn't even look his way. One was on the play where DAT got blown up. Five Steerlers were within five yards of that pass and were looking for that play. Another was early and AS just threw a rocket into the seats with no pressure.

Great job! Nothing much to add to that -I think you covered it very well.

I predicted this game in another thread- sans a run up in score by the Steelers. It was never close. Chiefs were beat before they stepped on the field. The whole team knows Alex would not lead them to a win.

They have zero heart-one more loss to cap off the season. Andy will end up losing his last 5 of 6 and missing the playoffs. Add that to last year's ending and it makes a trend. If he is not fired (which he won't be) he should at least be stripped of play calling duties.

Hard to believe they resigned Alex to an extension-why not wait until the end of the season? Did they really think this heartless, emotionless, robot game manager would break the bank in free agency? Clark continues to make the same types of dumb decisions his father did. Bad first round picks, bad choices at QB, D line, O line, Wr's.

We literally have Nothing to build a franchise around-because they have saddled this city to Smith. Not only giving up valuable picks to get him, stubbornly refusing to see what he is. They also failed to build any kind of team around him that would capitalize on his strengths and help hide his glaring weaknesses. Instead chose to protect him with the worst O line in chiefs history and give him a record breaking receiving corp-worst in NFL history at this point.

Another Chiefs year down the drain. Another disappointing heartless loss. Another big game we knew the Chiefs would never win. Another year of being a Chiefs fan and watching them fumble, bumble, sputter and choke to another forgettable year.

I think him not showing up today had a lot more to do with external factors than himself.

Our offense just sucks all around. The offensive line doesn't open up any holes without serious misdirection, Reid doesn't stick with the ground game to save his dick, and Alex's unwillingness to throw the ball down the field effectively forces us to face 8 man fronts week in and week out.

He had a fumble today, yeah. He fumbles every once in a while, yeah. The thing is, and why I'm so critical of Smith and not of the greatest playmaker this franchise has ever witnessed, Jamaal's production FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR outweighs his gaffes. You say he's lost 3 fumbles all year? I say he's squeaked out at least 400 yards and 5 or so TDs that the average back would have had no prayer in making. Look no further than this ****ing team. Knile is averaging what now? It's got to be dangerously close to 2.9 YPC. Jamaal is averaging 5 despite not being given enough carries to find any kind of rhythm.

He's our best and most consistent player and has been since he took the starting spot back in 2009. He's played big in big games and he's done it often. He had, probably, his best game of the season against the Seahawks not long ago. He had 3 TDs against the Patriots. He does play well in big games.

....one recurring phrase sums it up.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

Agreed with Virus here. Charles is the main focus for every defensive cordinator we face. Teams are selling out to stop him. Alex has a chance to get some respect and back up the defense up and he misses a wide upen wilson that could've been a easy seven. If Alex plays like a 68 mil like he should the oline looks better, Rb look better and a receivers are getting more balls, but alex keeps doing it to himself by dinking and dunking and drawing everything towards the line of scrimmage.

And this is exactly why I couldn't believe they did N-O-T-H-I-N-G this past off season. Most surprising because both Dorsey and Reid had bad seasons with GB and Philly respectively when they had OL issues. To have a JAG OL Plus JAG WR's in addition to a JAG QB is a recipe for exactly what happened this year in KC. Saw this coming as did most. When you consider they didn't build on the success of last year, it's even more of a waste than just looking at this season in a singular sense.

"If You Cant Score Touchdowns You Dont Deserve to go to The Playoffs".

Theres your 2015 motto that hangs above the lockerroom exit.

But.. But.. But.. The game was close! There was no need to risk trying for the TD! Play it safe and take the points!

This pussy ass franchise and its brain washed fans. TD win most games. Score more and win more. **** this playing not to lose bullshit.

Yeah, thanks for reminding me. Not only would that Wilson overthrow have put us ahead, it also would have changed the defensive fronts we'd have face from that point on. We're talking larger running lanes and more room for our speedsters to work underneath the deep coverage.

Just an egregious overthrow.
