Or maybe the defense shouldn't have allowed TB to go 52 yards and score it's first touchdown of the game with only 10 minutes left in the game when we were done 1 score?? :facepalm:

The idea that the defense is excused from poor performance and the offense must clean up their mistakes is a joke. It's a team game. 60 minutes on the clock and our defense allowed them to have 35 of it.

Such a horrible call.

I don't think I've EVER seen that play called so I GUESS you could call Reid inventive...just not in a good way.

You're still butthurt from the abuse you received from Dane last night. The writing is on the wall.

Play calling got us beat. Inside the 10 specifically.

Alex was what he is yesterday outside of the INT. He, like Reid, assumed it would be wide open and still threw it when it wasn't. Bad play. The OL didn't execute in those key situations either on the goal line.

The defense gave up 19 but in all reality was the worst it has been outside of Pittsburgh. I still can't understand how we never got pressure on Jameis. Very concerning.

I'll be the first to tell you that we need to draft a QBOTF in the 2017 draft. It's what we want, it's what we need. But Alex is not the main reason the Chiefs lost yesterday.

The Chiefs get a chance to change our outlook once again Sunday night. After what happened yesterday, a true contender will show up pissed off and ready to win a huge divisional game. A pretender will fold the tent. Plain and simple.

ROFL He's a regular pioneer eh?

yep. anyone who says Reid is inventive...... so was the Slap Chop. That doesn't make it good.

What was the avg. starting field position for each team yesterday?

Seems the Bucs won yesterday similar to the way the CHIEFS have been winning

2 punts suck

You want an excuse for the defense yesterday? They get to use the injury excuse. Considering that Smith's offense was shit even when he had Maclin.....he doesn't get that excuse.

Without Maclin and he completes 77% of his throws, has overall positive production and this is the point I bring up...the people drinking the haterade with a lack of understanding of this game.

This starting to look like the San Fran Carr/Smith controversy under Singletary. But thankfully, Reid is a winning head coach and isn't stupid enough like many of you on here to allow a controversy to happen.

This thread is balls. Playmakers make plays when the game is on the line, and Alex threw an interception that cost his team the game at literally the worst time he possibly could. It was a one man route that was double covered. Alex should have never thrown that ball and the Chiefs lost because of it, period end of statement.

But other than that he was really good.

Yep.

And despite the fact that we had TB pinned on their own 4 yard line, the defense stupidly allowed them to move the ball 60 yards.

And what did the offense do afterwards? -> Score a touchdown.

Keep blaming the offense you dummies.

Yesterday was the definition of a team loss. Next week will have to be a team win if they want to get the job done.

The offense scored 17 points against one of the worst defenses in the NFL, and you're yucking it up about completion percentage.

So pointless.

Meanwhile a rookie in Dallas is going to eclipse Alex's best season by a landslide on his first try.

Are you saying Smith/Offense didn't drive 78 yards down the field and score a touchdown to respond to TB's TD?

Yes or no.
