Last year in the playoff game, on one of the first, if not the first, drives against Steelers...lots of different stuff...scored a touchdown. That was it for the game...vanilla offense after that.

I don't get what goes through his head.
This is exactly what I was thinking of. It's like he's scared they'll figure it out and he stops doing it way before they ever actually do.

That's at least a reason. Hopefully Robinson will get up to speed and become a useful part of the offense (getting wide open 20+ yards downfield gives us nothing)

We're soft.

We've always been soft on offense under Andy Reid. The defense had some toughness before Poe's back gave way, Jaye Howard went away, DJ started breaking down and Berry broke himself again.

Soft.

Hit this team in the mouth and they fold. Denver knew that and Pittsburgh knows it.

It's one bad game.

We only play 3 winning teams the rest of the year...

ROFL One ugly loss and now he is a moran.

To be quite honest, when Andy didn't go for the FG I wondered just how bad he wanted to keep the "only undefeated team" pressure going.

I am not saying he threw the game, but I think he is a little more concerned about the division and ultimate goal, winning a SB.

Just a guess, but I bet there has been a new attitude in practice this week.

If he ever makes it back, we're going to have a great one two punch with Kelce and Cottam!
It's nice to have memories of good times with your daughter. Other than Brad Cottam, it sounds like everyone had a great time.

If you are only worried about our regular season record then your point is valid. If you want to take the next step and start being a legitimate threat to make a super bowl then we need to play better.

I really think we should have gone max protect and took a few intermediate and deep shots to have their LBs back off at the very start. Later in the game maybe the LBs were playing a softer coverage and every play it looked like our WRs would score.
Chiefs got bullied.

...because 6-0 means SB, but 5-1 doesn't?

Cmon, now.

Steelers play the Patriots this year...so one of the teams competing for HFA is going to lose to the other.

Sunday sucked as it was a four game lead on Pittsburgh reduced to one...considering H2H tie breakers.

Can anyone explain that, besides "because Chiefs"?
“Because Reid”?

Nah, because 2 of the 3 you mentioned here played last year and got their asses handed to them as well by the Steelers.

Here is the answer:

Sack up and match/overpower the opponents physicality. We got thrown around like rag dolls in the trenches on both sides of the ball, PERIOD !!:#

This is what happens when you don't throw downfield.

3 starting oline out, and LT was banged up. I hope we play that sorry ass team in the playoffs.
