LMAO

You stated that so eloquently, my lady.

Return to my chambers this evening for a vigorous rodgering!

Yeah but the Chiefs went from 2-14 to 11-5 last year with a new coach, QB, new systems on both sides of the ball, etc. etc. That was one of the biggest turnarounds in NFL history. Houston didn't do that. And Houston has plenty of talent. They have the best defensive player in the league, for starters.

The 2-14 record was a mirage.

That 11-5 team wasn't all that different than the one that went 7-9 with Matt Cassel, Tyler Palko, Kyle Orton at QB and no Jamaal Charles and Eric Berry.

Ball is on the wrong hand but a work of art nonetheless. Would buy and frame in my bathroom.

Another thing that cost us; we should have scored on that fake field goal. But for some reason, we had Allen Bailey lined up at left tackle. A DT! He totally wiffed on the block and kelce was tackled. Should have been an easy score.

Of course, bowe sealed our fate a couple plays later...

I'm going to say something nice about Andy Reid, which is hard today, of all days, but he had the right gameplan for today's game. That was obvious every time we tried to run the ball. Every time we got stuffed. And you can't argue that they didn't move the chains all day long through the air. The problem was the red zone offense. (And trying to run the ball on 4th down instead of either kicking the goddamn field goal since we wouldn't have had time to score a TD anyway, or going with what had worked the entire first half, namely the pass.)

We weren't going to run the ball today. And there was zero wrong with Alex Smith throwing 44 passes against that defense. The offensive line was getting their shit pushed in by Pittsburgh's front seven, and that wouldn't have changed with more carries. They did the right thing going pass heavy. The stats show it: they outgained Pittsburgh by 50 yards and had a 3 minute advantage in time of possession. That's exactly what you want.

What you don't want is kicking field goals every time you're inside the ****ing 20 yard line. And unfortunately Andy Reid has always had problems in the red zone, say all you want about being the "#2 red zone team" this year, and we saw that again today.

I think the biggest issue is that the kind of east west brinksmanship that allowed us to move the ball between the 20s is very difficult to execute in that part of the field. But they did also try to go vertical several times in the red zone, they just failed to execute. Maybe they could have tried another run play or three, but I don't think that would have made an iota of difference. They just couldn't open up running lanes. The line play was much worse in that aspect than even the stats would indicate.

So I would say 20 to 20, Reid did a good job. Kept the chains moving, kept Pittsburgh off the field. It was the right strategy and it would have been a winning strategy except that LeBeau owned him where it counted, in the red zone.

We had every opportunity to win.

God damn....you are stupid.

I used to rep you all of the time for takes like this, but I'm just numb to it at this point... a big turnaround in 2013 followed by what?

And, I predicted early a 9-7 record, which is what we'll end up with... but I shouldnt have aimed so low, I should have expected more from a deeper team and a veteran QB in his second year on that deeper team... these guys underperform right now, I dont know how else to put it.

Even with the injuries to the front seven we had , what 1 maybe two sacks?... its a whole team deal, these guys only seem to "believe" to a point, and that point usually seems to be them going down by 10+... they have no faith in Smith to bring them back and it shows.

They could/should have this game but they drop it yet again this year... I blame them all yet again.

You're talking about when the defensive back knocked the ball away? You can't get hung up on that, sometimes defensive players make plays.

I was (pleasantly) surprised Smith threw that ball to be honest. Really good coverage on that play.

If Charles underwhelms in big games, it's really a product of the Chiefs always underwhelming in big games. This team can't win a big game, most notably in playoff games.

His injuries and his fumbles have always been his biggest weakness. He does both in untimely moments. That's a fair criticism.

But in the end, this is not a league where a RB can carry a team by himself. Barry Sanders tried and could never do it in the playoffs. Just in regular season games.

Sry didn't watch the Chefs today but I will tell yah the season is over for the Chefs

I guess we're just asking too much.

This

I have an honest, judgemental answer:

the person is stupid. Not just your normal run of the mill stupid, but stupid that collapses upon itself stupid. Quasar like stupidity.
