Make no mistake, this was a failure season.
 

Up 21-3 so no other explanation needed.

Make no mistake…you’re a failure in your parents eyes.

Best Chiefs team ever to not win a SB.

Ok

That would be last year's team.

It really was. To not kick the FG at the end of the 1st half and to not run it down close at the end of regulation put the stamp on it as a TOTAL FAIL. Had we lost playing smart, it would be different.

I don't know, they were pretty flawed the whole year and it finally came back to bite them.

Way too bipolar all year.

Ghost of Alex Smith possessed Mahomes in the 2nd half. Can’t really blame the defense they did their job and gave the offense plenty of chances. This one is on Andy Reid and the offense. 3 points in the 2nd half against the same team that held you to 3 in the 2nd half in the first game? Really? That’s inexcusable. You’re never going to win in the playoffs scoring 3 ****ing points in the second half.

The O line got a year under their belts together

We have the opportunity to clear out some of the trash on D

Some guys will have a chance to soul search

Last year we ( I) felt cheated. This year, we ****ed it up in the end.

This feels like being up 21-3 to the Titans and losing.

The play calling at the end of the game was so wrong.

It's just so sickening.

This Bengals team is not better than us. We were absolutely steam rolling them. And then Pat shit the bed. This loss will haunt his legacy for a long time. He choked. And now everyone knows he's no longer invincible in the postseason. No longer immune to epic chokes at home. This loss really feels monumental. I hate that that's the case, but I'm just in shock over what I just saw.

I'm just ****ing sick.

Can we forget about his Legacy. Right now he might be on track to be like Rodgers.

is it...thickening?

Hey, this one hurts. But it's alright. We'll be back. We'll retool the defense, maybe bring in a weapon on offense, and you know Mahomes is madder at himself than any of us could possibly be.

We'll be back.

Well, you're aptly named.

This is dumb

Most elite QBs didn't win multiple Super Bowls. At least not in the last 30 years.

Favre, Young, Rodgers, Brees, Marino.

Manning was bailed out his final season by a great defense.

Meanwhile, Big Ben and Eli Manning have two Super Bowls. Football is still a team sport, even when the QB doesn't have a terrible game or half.

On the bright side, the Bills will be even more mad at us for putting up such a lackluster effort after eliminating them.

No way the Bills do what we did today.

Agree completely but if the chiefs only get one ring out of Patrick in his career it’s a failure

Hosting an AFC Championship was a major accomplishment.

Of course it is disappointing. Even the Patriots in their prime would not win every year.

Go get OBJ or Godwin.

The NFL will never allow there to be another Brady, they created that monster to stand the test of time.

Wondering if Patrick hit his head and got concussed; he really looked out of it in the second half. The Bengals were rushing three and beating the line. Burrow managed to escape a couple of sure sacks and the defensive line underperformed.

The last decade of picking at the end of the draft is going to start catching up with this team. Don't want to face it however the AFC is going to be a dog fight for the next 15 years.

Yes, because they occasionally had huge injuries to key players. This was a massive failure while fully healthy.

It really was. Had they just run the ball three times from the 5 yard line, they probably score a TD and win in regulation. Just so damn dumb

Well, yeah. That's two years in a row now that we looked like the best team in the league (or very close to it) and didn't come away with a Super Bowl win.

The last two years of low cap hits for Mahomes wasted as well. It'll only get more difficult to field championship caliber teams as we go forward.

God you ****ing LOVE that you get to be miserable now

4th straight AFCCG

that's not a failure

2-1 in the playoffs is not a failure


ya the offense didn't do shit in the 2nd half and there was some questionable play calling on that 1st and goal

but it is what it is and they'll get some guys in free agency and the draft and we'll probably be even better next season.

Agreed. This felt similar to the super close victory against the Browns followed by the chokejob against the Ravens at the beginning of the season.

Need new coordinators on both sides.

You can’t win the Super Bowl every year. You’re setting yourself up for disappointment if that’s the expectation. Hosting an AFCC (for the 4th straight year) is not a failure.

What a dumb thread. The 70s, 80s, 90s and 00's and 10's were disappointing seasons.

Since Mahomes, we only went to 4 straight AFC Championships, 2 Super Bowls, Won 1 and have Mahomes.

I'll take that any day of the week.

Well, Bengals defeated Chiefs twice this season, Bengals are better than the Chiefs, that are facts

It was

It is very disappointing but failure, eh, it is too tough to go to the Superbowl 3 years in a row so it is not surprising that Chiefs lost

People have this fear that were gonna be Green Bay.

I’m happy that we have reached a point where anything but a super bowl victory is considered a failure, but it still hurts. Damn.

I am going to be a bigger asshole & say I'm thankful for the last 4 years! Nana nana boo boo

That point was reached draft day 2017.

I just wish we could lose a playoff game without being embarrassed. Reid has three giant blown leads in the playoffs. Plus that Steelers game where we scored two TDs, they scored zero, and we still lost.

It could have been worse, Chiefs could have went to 4 straight AFC Championship games and not win 1 Superbowl so I am glad Chiefs won the Superbowl 2 years ago

Just RUN the ball 3 times from the 6 yard line at the end of regulation and the season continues. It's that simple. Andy went full Andy...:shake:

Even more surprising that they did not run the ball at the end of regulation. Had they done that, they may have indeed gone to the Super Bowl three years in a row.

The sad synergy is, the more this happens, the more the opposition knows it's always possible, which is often 90% of the battle.

At the moment, the only team with reason to fear the Chiefs in a postseason matchup are the Bills, . . . and they would be operating on rage, not fear.

I wanted another run, but they ran it on 1st and got a yard. 2nd and goal from the 4 is no gimme running it. The key was Pat can't take the sack on second down. That was shocking.

We fought back from adversity and 3-5 record to winning the division and hosting the AFC Championship I'll take that we already won SB LIV I'm still stoked over that and all the come back victories or blowing out the Raiders twice beating the Broncos for the 13th time in a row and division 6 years in a row. Maybe we are just greedy expecting to win the Super Bowl every year but what we get is battles for the next decade against young quarterbacks like Josh Allen and Joe Burrow they will make Patrick raise his game just to beat those guys but right now Joe Burrow is king of the hill. All we can do is come back next year and fight back. This was not a failure of a season but made for great games and we won more than not.

Some No named d-coordinator with a bunch of no named defensive players besides Hendrickson put Clown shoes on the entire KC offense. Coaches and all! Unbelievable. Time to demote Bieniemy since he’s not going anywhere and promote Kafka before we lose him.

Why does Chief Fan like Kafka so much and dislike Bieniemy so much? What inside information do you have?

Yup.

That’s debatable.

Mahomes said everything short of a SB would be a failure, if you respect the man, respect his assessment.

Looks like you chose the perfect name, you enormous pussy.

If Bienemy's calling plays, he needs to coach OL. Whoever was calling plays the 2nd half, needs to be shitcanned. That's just unexplained BS that keeps happening. 21-3, 21-3. BS

Because there are times you need new voices, complacency happens with no change.

Yes big picture the season was a failure.

When you have Mahomes in the prime of his career with playmakers such as Tyreek and Kelce still playing at an elite level and you choke a 21-3 lead to an inferior team in your home stadium with a Super Bowl berth on the line… it’s hard to put lipstick on that epic fail.

after the start we had, did not expect to be here. I am very disappointed now. But I can move on fast.

Is he though? Chiefs probably feel the same way.

Jesus **** what are you people babbling about? Mahomes has already been to more Super Bowls than Rodgers and he’s hosted 4 straight championship games.

Rodgers just lost to a terrible QB at home where he didn’t throw a single TD pass.

Mahomes has lost to Brady and Burrow. FFS he isn’t losing multiple times to Jimmy G and Kaepernick.

You guys need to relax. Take some THC or some shit

Losing to Cincy up 21-3 is very Green Bay.

They beat us twice. Once in our house. Hard to argue we are better. If we were, we'd have won. Excuses are pathetic.

Every great QB has bad playoff losses. Do you watch this game?

Mahomes has lost to Brady and Mahomes

Rodgers and Brees said the same thing once.

When we were 3-4 in week 7 and got our butts kicked by the Titans it did not even look like the playoffs were a possibility. If someone had told us that week we were going to lose in the AFC title game in OT I think most of us would have taken that.

To a terrible franchise? I doubt it

So one play-off loss, and we're talking about a decade plus of futility as though that's a certainty?

It's one game.

Overreaction planet.

Let's see how they respond before we throw in the towel on Mahomes' career, okay?

See, people think I'm pessimistic, and when we were in the spot I said we were running out of tarmac to meet our expectations. By that I meant all expectations were still intact, but urgency was on the table.

People derided me for that assessment, then it turns out in the honesty of hindsight, they were more pessimistic than I was.

Four AFC Championship games at Arrowhead. One SB win and three times shitting the bed in four years.

Not good.

I don't do CP beef hit my line

They won both times we played. Scoreboard says their better.

That terrible franchise swept us this year.

Only in the sense that for a pro sports team, any year you don't win the championship is kind of a "failure". Overall, as others have said, it's really hard to make it to one SB, let alone 3 in a row. We got one already and should be in contention for at least the next decade. 5 years ago everyone here would've done weird shit on a room full of construction workers for that to be the case. It's fine.

Yeah, I knew that but Bengals have been a terrible franchise except for the 2 Superbowl runs and this year

All year this was the weirdest team in memory, you never knew which dramatically different version would take the field from week to week. Or, some games like today, from one half to the next.

Personal vent: today pissed me off more than any game in recent memory. Really an absurd choke.

You wonder...if we kick that FG...if we win today.

****.

Wait, so we have to win the SB every year or we suck? WTF is wrong with you people? This is a game that is played by professional athletes. Every AFC team for the last 3 years has been laser focused on beating the best team in he Conference, the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bengals did that. Play this game 3 times, I think the Chiefs win 2 of 3, but we don't get to do that.

Every season that ends in a real chance at the Super Bowl is a successful season. Yes, Patrick says anything less than the SB is a failure...for the players that is correct. But for us fans, we are one of the best teams in the entire league and will be for many years to come.

Settle the **** down.

Don't worry, in a couple years Mahomes will take up 15-20% of the salary cap and our expectations will lower to a few Russell Wilson-style highlights a year and scouting young scrubs for diamonds in the rough.

Or you could get lucky and Mahomes has a decent-sized injury and we can spend a season just having a laugh.

Those ridiculous expectations are because of what the Pats did with Brady. It is unfair as every team is judged now by that 20 year run. The Chiefs have been unbelievable these past 4 seasons with another decade in front of them.

WTF???

No debate that this was a failed season.

Super Bowl or Bust

I mean….the Chiefs talk about Super Bowl or bust all season themselves so why shouldn’t we?

We’re just holding them to the standards they set.

It seemed that ICH found the pressure of SB expectations were too onerous. I was trying to alleviate his anxiety.
