I can relate to all of this; also, the Chiefs of the 70s and 80s were easier to take since the Royals were very successful during that time period. I watched football however I was a baseball fan. Tickets to Chiefs games in the 80s were easy to get and it was a fun time to get a group of friends together and head to a game. The Kenney/Fuller/Blackledge QB situation was a joke and the Chiefs a laughing stock. Nationally televised games would not show the upper seats on punts as they were empty. The 90s and beyond were the hardest to take; the Chiefs found the most novel ways to lose. Watching the Chiefs dominate games for 50 minutes and then go into the prevent a win defense allowing the Broncos to steal away victories.

So at some level, I understand the 49ers fans being upset. They basically had the game won if they had simply kept running the ball. The coach did what Chiefs coaches have done in the past, they quit trusting the team and what got them there. It brings back all the frustration of those Chiefs teams of the past where I wanted to find a reason other than the team and coaches that was responsible for the loss.

I've watched a lot of breakdowns of the plays they are complaining about; Bosa was not held. The helmet to helmet hit on their QB was after the shoulder impacted him in the chest, no lowering of the head to spear. Kittle pushed off TWICE to get separation. I probably would have been screaming at the TV as well; mostly for wasting time at the end of the half when more times than not, teams double dip when receiving the 2nd half kickoff. Big change in momentum and a big message to how the coach felt about his team.
