The defenses horrid play today doesn't cancel out all that. We don't have to pick one thing to blame here. There is plenty to go around. Sutton sitting on his thumb and not bringing pressure, Andy still not knowing how a clock ****ing works, ect. The D caused the offense to not have enough plays, but the offense could have and should have done more with the big moments they had.
This is what is going to happen in the playoffs. Good teams are going to make us have to win a way we aren't used to. It isn't going to go to script, and this result is part of the concern some have. That off script, the coaches and stars aren't going to do enough.

That's why most teams spend premium draft picks on QBs who can transcend those off script situations, improvise, and make big plays happen anyway.
The only time the Chiefs have even tried in my lifetime was when they burned a 2nd on a guy named Matt Blundin, who iirc never took a snap while sitting behind Bono, Gannon, & Grbac.
