We've hosted 4 AFCCG's in a row. We won a Super Bowl and appeared in another. The team we just lost to has never won one and hasn't been to one in 30 years, and all of their fans I ran into were super cool.

While the loss stings, and I'm disappointed in the way it went down, we're in the best era of Chiefs football we'll ever see. I enjoyed getting to the game and seeing some of you folks despite the result.

So overall, it's really not bad. A bit of a bummer, but as long as we have Mahomes, we're in the discussion. That's all teams that don't cheat their way to championships can really hope for.

**** THAT

It’s just a game but hurting today.

Feeling good, I wish they would have won but they did not. Always next year. Since Ciny beat us I will be rooting for them to win.

I'm over it. They didn't go to the SB for 50 years and they've made it 2 out of the last 3. We've got a great QB locked up for the most of a decade and they've hosted the AFCCG 4 years in a row. It could be a helluva lot worse.

The least painful playoff loss in my life.

I'm disappointed of course. I'm a little down. But this one didn't hurt like the others. With Mahomes, Reid, Veach etc i have the confidence we'll be in this every year. Every playoff game doesn't feel like our last chance to get a SB ring like it did pre-Mahomes.

I have no hard feelings with Bengals fans either. And hats off to the Bengals. They threw the goddamn kitchen sink at Mahomes in that 2nd half and forced the Chiefs into the only bad half of football our boys had all post season.

I feel like a huge wasted opportunity and to be up 21-3 and allow another epic comeback in the playoffs very frustrating.

Life is great!

I'm good. Moving on, and I'm kind of glad to have Sundays back going forward. I don't have any gripes about the game, and we simply lost. It happens.

I must say, though, that I'm really glad that we won the Super Bowl in 2019. Can you imagine how miserable it would have been if we had lost the AFCCG in 2018 on a call from tom brady's girlfriend, lost the SB in 2019, lost the SB in 2020 on injuries and brady officiating, and lost in 2021 after blowing a lead? I would really feel like we were cursed.

Take it for what it is and just enjoy the show....Not getting emotionally invested in this shit going forward.

When it is your turn, you will win, when it is not, you won't

It definitely lessens the sting.

All good points. Blowing a chance to punch a ticket to a Super Bowl should be devastating. But at least this time it was because we were beat by a team that just seemed to want it more, instead of some horrific fashion like the playoff losses of the past.

Pretty terrible.

With the only one team getting the 1st round bye, it's going to be really difficult to get that every year. It's possible we won't see another Mahomes Super Bowl until post Kelce-Hill and it will be an all new crew next time. It's hard as hell to make these things - and now we have 3 great young QBs all in the AFC. One in our own division.

You are always a product of your competition. The Patriots had the benefit of playing in one of the worst divisions in football for years. We are not going to get that same luxury.

Here I sit all broken hearted
Tried to shit
but only farted.


I'm not broken hearted. I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

The good news is I've been a Chiefs fan long enough my expectation is still that they'll let me down due to past trauma. They've been my bad girlfriend for a long time, and even though they've been pretty loyal the last couple of years, they were due to get drunk and suck a dick.
