None of the team seemed very focused, didn’t see any positive interactions between our players, didn’t see Mahomes and Andy sitting on the bench going over plays one time (although it’s possible I missed it and was fairly drunk), didn’t see players pumping each other up in the biggest game of the year. None of the camaraderie, and leadership from our guys seemed to be there during that game, which is the exact opposite of what they’ve shown us for 3 years, all missing from the team. Was very bizarre, and it just seemed the guys didn’t have their heads in it from top to bottom.

Britt Reid.
All year I’m sure it was preached to the team to stay together, focus on the end goal, and be disciplined amid all the Covid bullshit. Then a coach acts selfishly, injuring a child in the process. Grown men or not, after that happened I am certain a lot of the belief/commitment in the room went away.
Pretty sure Goodell did not want the dark cloud surrounding a Super Bowl win for the Chiefs when Andy Reid’s own flesh and blood might be heading to jail for a long time. The O-line was atrocious, the penalties did not help, but the morale of the team was probably broken days earlier.
