I was apathetic for a good portion of the game.
I found myself pissed off at halftime for the shit showing, but about midway through the 2nd half: I just came to accept it and really didn't react when the Giants booted home the game winner.
The defense is atrocious. Sure, focus on the 12 points given up today and give a golf clap, but if you watched this shitfest you'd have seen Manning missing receivers and receivers plain dropping the ball. Having to hope for the offense to shit themselves is not considered good defense. The Steelers or Patriots will wipe the goddamn floor with this defense if we were ever lucky enough to make it to Round 2.
The offense has regressed to the point where I don't even know what to make of it anymore. Kareem Hunt has been ineffective and without a rushing game that puts the pressure squarely on Alex Smith to make plays. As we've seen in the previous five games, he's not getting it done (for the most part anyways, the Raiders game was not his fault) and SPOILER: he will not do it come playoff time. It's more of the same bullshit of watching open receivers down the field go ignored while Alex checks down for 2-3 yards. As you said in your 10 Things, we're not seeing Mahomes this year. I've accepted that barring injury, it's Alex for the rest of the season and I highly HIGHLY doubt we see any miraculous swings back to the offense we saw in Weeks 1-5. The Steelers (these ****ing assclowns) exposed the Chiefs and Andy Reid hasn't caught on. Andy Reid is our Donald Trump. He thinks he's the smartest person in the room and is playing some kind of 5-dimensional chess when honestly, he's just making an ass of himself. What the ever-loving **** is Kelce doing throwing the ball? I asked that same question when Hill did it vs Denver and I'm asking it now.
The rest of the AFC West may catch up with the Chiefs, and they may not. I have no idea how we still have a 2-game lead in the division, but that affords KC enough breathing room to un**** themselves for the time being. Honestly though, why bother making the playoffs? We know this tragedy plays out in one of two ways: either the defense pukes all over their dick for 60 minutes or Alex Smith dinks and dunks his way to a narrow loss. God forbid the offense and defense both get on the same schedule and decide to shit themselves on the same day in January to really embarrass the shit out of everyone.
We're stuck with Alex Smith trying to polish the turd that Bob Sutton leaves in his Depends every Sunday. I've accepted it and I hope other have as well. Regardless of how the rest of this layer cake of excrement plays out over the next two months, I'm psyched to see Mahomes take control in 2018 with hopefully a retooled and newly supervised defense.
