If we have to listen to whining about how they lost Greenlaw, they should at least address the players the Chiefs had to do without.

I think the thing that makes it very different than us not having a player who was injured in a game two weeks ago is it happening in the Super Bowl as he was simply running out onto the field. Emotions run high in that game and momentum is a huge thing. That kind of a loss could take a mental toll on a team or at least a few players who were close to him. It's not just about the loss of the player, but about that player losing the opportunity to play in one of the biggest games of his career. And not having two weeks to get used to that fact as we did with Omenihu or our tackles before LV.
Still not an excuse for losing and you could see Warner at least in better spirits as the game went on. Well, not at the very end, I guess.
