Not in that situation. Run the ball. If we get it, great. If not, go for it. The Texans were going to score a TD no matter what. That was obvious to anyone with active brain cell that saw how F'd our D was, and how well the Texans were clicking. Run it, run it, run it and run it, until they prove they can stop it. EVEN if you decide to pass it, why the F!!!!!! do you have Cassel running to his right and throwing all the way across his body 20 yards down field on a 3rd and 2? Why not throw a quick cross pattern (drag play) to Moeaki over the middle? Seriously, that was the worst ****ing 3rd and 2 play of all time. **** Weiss and Haley for even going that route.

i thought kc played a pretty good game yesterday. the white dudes and revolving door at safety are hurting the D. lots of things need tweaked but on a whole i didnt see anything that made me think 'yep this team sucks, i hate em'.

I don't understand why people who don't give a shit if the Chiefs lose even bother watching the game...Do you really call yourself a fan if you are so unmoved by a gut-wrenching defeat that you go on a fan board a few minutes after the defeat and start lecturing others about being "drama queens"?

It's Monday morning and I still have that sickening, sucker-punched feeling in the pit of my stomach, and I'm sure I will continue having it most of the week.

As Siberian said, **** this team for making me care again.

throw a high life through the tv, then get back to us.

In the interest of 'always look[ing] on the briiight si-ide of life [dah dum, dah deedle deedle dee];

I really hope this loss nets positive for the team, and I think it can. We could very possibly have been 5-0 right now, but we could also be a very young 5-0 team that thinks their shit doesn't stink. Maybe if this game sets firmly in their young minds that you can do a lot of good things and play what you think is your very best and still lose if you break attention even for a moment, we'll get some more committed and mentally tough players.

I'm getting visions of the team's 'stars' buckling down, Flowers running coverages an hour longer, DJ doing a couple more reps in the weight room, Bowe spending a little longer with the Juggs machine, each with a slow burn of regret and slight wince of missed opportunities pushing them on.

The thread that wouldn't die!

Just so's it's clear: I am not down on the team. I am not giving up. Being pissed about that loss is a GOOD thing. It's GOOD that they have me caring again. I don't remember the last time I carried a loss into Monday. It hurts, but it also makes me feel like a fan again. It sucks being numbed to defeats.

From my standpoint, the harder the defeats hurt, the greater the victories will feel. I'm not going to apologize for the extremes. I'm not going to shrug off tough losses and golf clap at big victories. That's just not how I roll.

And I think there's a big difference between saying "This defeat hurts like hell" and "**** it, fire everyone [Gary Oldman: "EVERYONE!"]." The latter is not what I'm doing here.

So, to reiterate: Damn them for blowing a winnable game in Houston in excruciating fashion. Now, let's beat Jacksonville.

:)

After a little sleep it's clearer.

If you had told me in August that the Chiefs would be 3-2 and winning the afcw right now, I'd have taken that bet, because the W-L is better than I expected.

The only reason the last 2 weeks have hurt is that the Chiefs had a real chance at winning.
The Defense needed to make 1 stop, the offense needed 1 more first down with less than 3 minutes to go. The wrong calls on the defensive encroachment and PI didn't make it easier, but the Chiefs still had a chance to make game winning plays on both sides of the ball.

the next few games should be considered winnable if the team is worth a damn....

I'm just glad my bad girlfriend has been at least giving me reason to believe she won't always be a filthy, heart breaking whore....she tried to be faithful yesterday, I guess that is all I can ask for now.

It is possible to care without wanting to kick the dog at the end of the game or feeling sick about it for a week. I was in your shoes when I was in college, and people on here like Dartgod would (from my perspective) act like they didn't care and I'd say the same stuff.... then the Chiefs lost to the Colts and the Jayhawks lost to Syracuse within a year of each other, and I thought, this is f***ing stupid.

So, I still yell at the tv and get frustrated when they make mistakes, I still scream as loud as possible when I'm at Arrowhead, I still think about what could have been after the bad losses (not so much yesterday, thinking more like KU/UNI)... then, when the game is over, I get on with my life and the stuff I can control.

I don't think anyone should have to apologize for being angry after a loss, unless you throw a beer into someone's tv, and like siberian said, it's good to care enough again to look forward to the game every week and to get angry when they lose. OTOH, there's no point in letting any loss, much less one in October, wreck your week, but I've been there so I'm not here to judge. ;)

Bearcat's right. I was good and pissed for about an hour or so after the game. Then, I just had to let it go. Watching the Huskers shit the bed at home, then the Chiefs have a heartbreaking loss, this kind of weekend used to ruin my whole week. Now, it's Monday, I have my opinions, but it's not the end of the world. It CAN'T be. I understand those who carry it longer, like I said I used to be that guy too. All I can say is, hopefully at some point you'll learn to let it go more quickly.

Their pretty much doing exactly what I expected at this point. Actually, they're above expectations despite dropping 2 in a row.

If they pick up a QB in the first round next years draft I'll be walking around with a perma-feather stuck up my ass.

I'd actually like to thank this team for making my son care again. He is only 12, and was a big Chiefs fan with Dante Hall being his favorite player in the NFL. The Chiefs lost him at 9 or 10 with their suckage, and this team has won him over again. It feels good to have my son wanting to watch the Chiefs games with me again.

So thank you to Haley, for making my son care about this team again. As for me, I have always cared since I was about 12 as well... way back in the day! Hope my son gets to see a couple of Super Bowls like I did, and I can be there to enjoy them with him! :toast:

I'm still recovering ... from the loss to the Mannings. Then, they jam this turd in my eye socket.

I hate everybody today. Especially Mr. the Talking Can and Mr. Mr. Flopnuts and Mr. Simply Red. And Casswipe. And Pioli. And Gary Kubiak.

I used to be bad. Losses would ruin my entire week. I'd get pissed, break things, etc.

One day I decided its not worth it anymore. I'm still as much a fan as I always was, but in the end, football is entertainment and in the big picture just isn't that important to my mental well-being.
