Ten Things About Today's Game: Week 11 (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=303882)

Spot on as always. From the stats it seems like TB out chiefed the chiefs.

Killer plays - drop by Kelce, sweep by Kelce (FU Andy), Alex's INT. A team like ours has to execute on all those plays or they lose... which they did

2015 we were ranked 12th in red zone TD %, this year Maclin's been injured and had some life stuff at the beginning of the year that he was off his game.

Not too late to turn things around

Stop play calls like the sweep to Kelce or the Rd Zone Calls (First Drive).

Exactly. It was a terrible call, but to call it right after Kelce limped off the field was pretty ****ing reeruned even for Reid...:shake:

Great write up GB....
Completely agreed about Alice....We have seen his best.....Its only downhill from now on....Time to flush the turd.

Yep . Wonder how long it takes them to figure it out?

Great job George.

Can't agree enough about the pass rush being weak. More than anything those guys are why "3rd and it doesn't matter" is a thing for other offenses.

Agree that Alex is done. I hate that but it's true, he's only trying to milk this team for as long as he can now.

Using TK for those two plays after he gimped off was about as Andy as you'll ever see.

You're in here I think...

Good read George.

I was working on my pivot this morning and I didn't get it done in time to not miss part of the game, I had it DVR'd but didn't think it was worth going back to watch.

My first thought when it was over, "welp, there goes winning the division." Then I thought, "WTF, one NFC game isn't going to make or break the season. Division games piss away playoff chances."

It's good to read that you are kind of on the same page. And I think if you take it out of the technical context and more into going into the playoffs hot context, it's pretty damning.

In terms of the season, the team is likely to lose some games down the stretch. And they've looked like dog balls in this game, The Pitt Game, and the Houston game. This team isn't good enough to overcome shitting the bed 3 times. That's 18.75% of the games, almost 20%. Maybe we don't win the pitt game, but this one and the Houston game are basically gimmies and out the door they go. They're going to drop some games, and really needed the easy ones. This is what separates us from the good teams. A team as limited as KC is needs to be consistent and we aren't. If our offense was better, we could overcome some inconsistency. Alas....

So moving forward we need to FIND some consistency and most likely offensive output while getting back to a defense that can stop somebody.

Looking at the division we must win the Chokeland game, and must have 1 of 2 against Donk (**** donk forever) while avoiding getting spoiled by the Dolts. As far as the Falcons and Tits go, it depends on where the other teams in division do. Ugh. That's a tough ask.

True, but losing to not good NFC teams at home does matter and can come back to haunt you in a division quest. The Bears game sure did last year. This one will too.

This. A&A aren't the answer.

I agree with your second point about momentum.

How many times under Andy Reid/Alex Smith have we seen the offense look good for a short while and then one bad thing or negative play happens and it seemingly takes the offense forever to regain momentum or rhythm?

Seems ironic for a team that prides itself on not panicking over adversity and being resilient.

10. Been a rough week in the Blowfish household. We had one of our kitties pass away on Thursday, and my wife has been a mess about it.
Sorry for your loss. I know the cats are like your extended family. :deevee:

1. Well, that said, now we get a fun trip into Flexville to face a Donk Team who is 7-0 in prime time games over the past five years.
We seem to either play great or horrific in Prime Time, never in between. We crush the Patriots on Monday night but get crushed by the Steelers on a Thursday night game or lose to a winless Raiders team.
If we don't fix things quick and get healthy, it's gonna be the ugly Chiefs with a big loss.

Happy Thanksgiving to All.
Happy turkey day to you as well.

Yesterday's game was one of the most boring affairs I've witnessed in a long time. It was like slow motion death. Nothing in between posts 1 and 10 motivated me as it was all shit.

You just sensed very little positive emotion or ANYONE really making a play except Kelce. Our D was putrid and their WR's ran all over the field WIDE OPEN 90% of the time. How did our guys look like there was rarely ever any separation yet TB guys looked like they had 3-4 yards of openness. Also they KILLED us on third downs all day. It was a debacle.

Hopefully we can fix things because we have been living on borrowed time for the last few weeks with no help from the offense-they are offensive.

Thanks GB and sorry you had to sit and watch that shit show in person.

We had a shot at a 52/53 yard field goal at one point and elected to punt. Colquitt hit a beauty and we pinned them down at their own 2 yard line. But it wasn't long before they were at midfield. Not sure why we didn't attempt the 3 points. Santos has been pretty money for us this year. Wind maybe?

Tampa Bay is 7-5 lifetime against KC, including beating us five straight times. Last time we beat them was in Tampa in 1993, Joe Montana's first regular season game as a Chief. For some reason, they just have our number.

Last year KC did poorly against the NFC North. We lost to the Vikes and the Pack on the road, and Bears at home. Only NFC North team we beat was the Lions in London. Those three losses meant KC was a road team in the playoffs.

Hopefully we'll take care of business against Atlanta, the last NFC South team left on the schedule.

Yes, I'm in that mass of pissed off humanity.

I'm sitting back in my seat with my arm around my wifey, as I am want to do. But I've pointed out the location where I sit.
