In another post today, you said you expected the Chiefs defense to play bad against Indy. Do you really believe that the Offense lost the game?

I have stated several times that I do not “blame” the Offense for the loss. They played their hearts out, along with Special Teams.

What I have said several times [pay attention now, because this is apparently the hard part] is that the Offense was our only chance to win the game, because by that time Robinson’s Defense was in total disarray. It would have required a mighty effort, because not only were the carrying a crappy Defense on their shoulders, but the Colts Offense was flawless. As it turned out, that was simply too heavy a burden. There is no “blame” on the Offense. Just acknowledgment that they came up a bit short and recognition of the mistakes [fumble, dropped pass, PI call, missed FG].

It is ridiculous to flog a crappy Defense for being a crappy Defense. The Colts were flawless that day and Manning [as I said in the post you quoted] was on fire. Just as the Colts Defense had no chance to stop the Chiefs Offense, the Chiefs Defense had no chance to stop the Colts Offense.

One more time [just in case you still don’t get it]:
The difference in the game was that the Colts Offense played a great game with no mistakes. The Chiefs Offense played a great game with a few mistakes. The Chiefs Special Teams gave us a chance to overcome that difference, but we came up short. The Chiefs Defense contributed nothing. The Colts Defense covered a Holmes fumble.
