Thanks for the write up Mr G.

My thoughts are that this loss was more on coaching than the zebras. Yes the Chiefs were unproportionately penalized 10x to the Bengals 5. Yes, those 10 penalties resulted in 6 Bengals first downs vs only 1 first down for the Chiefs on the 5 penalties. Hard to overcome that.

However, This game (known to us from this day forward as the “3rd and 27” game) was more about lack of adjustments. When you play man press coverage and one receiver carves for 200+ and 3 touches, that is a fail. When the offense scores 28 in H1 but only 3 in H2, that is a fail.

That said, this loss may just be what the team needed. They were riding a little high in the britches. Hopefully, this will motivate them for another Super Bowl run …
