Chiefs How We Beat Ourselves Against the Rams

When you break it down there are some situations that don't seem to be getting discussed that I say ended up being the difference in the game. We know the officiating ****ed us. We know Denver is probably screaming "poetic justice" on the false start that didn't get called and resulted in a TD. But some of the other things that absolutely killed us are:

1. FALL ON THE ****ING BALL! On one of the strip sacks Erving tried to pick up the fumble instead of just falling on it. He falls on it we at worst end up punting and don't give the Rams a short field.

2. Stop fielding punts inside the 5! Reek hurt us, especially at the end of the game fielding punts inside the 5 and one he actually caught at the 1. At that point in the game those are precious yards and seconds wasted.

3. WTF was Hunt? I thought Hunt disappeared and it became the Reek\Kelce show. Maybe that was the Ram's defense but against a defense that struggles against the run I think we should have pounded it a little more.

4. Quit slowing up on routes! One pass that was on the money ended up getting defended because Reek slowed up during his route and allowed the defender to make a play. KEEP RUNNING!

5. DB's are WR's with bad hands and we proved that. Catch the game winning INT and we are celebrating and not analyzing.

6. Quit going soft on defense! When Sutton was dialing up pressure on Goff he was either taking sacks or making bad throws. The game winning drive it seemed like Sutton backed off the pressure.

People are talking about Mahomes throwing picks, one of which wasn't his fault as he got hit as he threw and about scoring too fast. The entire "we scored too fast" argument is bunk. It's easy to think a TD is automatic but if you do then you forget about the drive we had to settle for a FG on because we couldn't get in on 1st & Goal. When you start doing that all it takes is for 1 holding penalty to **** it all up. You score when you can score and you expect your defense to defend 75 yards for 2 minutes.

I won't even talk about the penalties as we know it was a pile of lopsided bullshit, especially early on. All in all we played more than good enough to win but the little things we didn't focus on are ultimately what cost us.
