Schwartz was owned by Watt and really didn't look to be that great tackle that we expected to be getting in FA. Everyone on offense couldn't keep a hold of the ball. Way too many penalties killed drives and took away a kick return TD. And despite the fact that the defense was put in shitty positions all day long, they played pretty well and the Chiefs were very much in this game until the end.

I agree with everything but the last. The Chiefs were never in the game. We had no way of knowing it at the time, but it was over in the first quarter. The team showed absolutely nothing on offense that would make anybody think they could muster up even a single touchdown. Maybe there was some lingering optimism from last week's fluke comeback or something, but this game was not competitive in any way, shape or form. Texas won playing their style of (boring...) ball and we just rolled over. The score appearing close was a mirage. We had zero chance.
