What I Saw

['Hamas' Jenkins]

There isn’t a way to quantify a loss like that. There isn’t a way to describe it someone, even if they saw it. There is only the experience of having your guts ripped out.

It feels like a fugue state. The sides of your vision get fuzzy, footsteps and breaths feel artificial, forced.

It’s easier to blame particular whipping boys, but I think that is a half-assed analysis.

Here’s what I saw:

I saw an opposing QB sandwich three interceptions around play that is as good as I’ve ever seen from any quarterback. Andrew Luck was absolutely brilliant. That wasn’t just great quarterbacking, it was all-time pantheon quarterbacking.

I saw a wide receiver we didn’t have an answer for, regardless of which corners were in or out of the game.

I saw an artificial surface that should be nuked from orbit. Head injuries on incidental contact like that is somewhat of an aberration, but that many should not happen. I wonder if they replaced the rubber filling with tungsten before the game.

I saw a defense that made a number of excellent plays yet was completely eviscerated. It’s hard to put it all on the D when they gave the offense 17 points via turnovers and won the battle 4-1

I saw an offense score 27 points on its own, and convert another 17 points via turnovers, without its best player for the entirety of the game.

I saw a rookie RB with ball security issues play his ass off as a worthy replacement for our best player.

I saw a quarterback whom many, myself included, derided as a game manager play at a level that no Chiefs QB has in the playoffs in my lifetime. Alex Smith was absolutely magnificent in that game. He did not deserve that loss. He beats almost any QB in history on any day except that QB on that day.

I saw a wide receiver, who is the second best in franchise history and who gets crapped on like he’s Jonny Morton, play a brilliant game.

I saw a free safety who shouldn’t start in the UFL commit the cardinal sin of playing that position.

I saw a head coach whose biggest knack was time management and whose offense was built upon efficiency waste all of its timeouts on offense which turned a 4^th and 11 into a 4^th and the season.

I saw a head coach go for a field goal at the one yard line when every statistical metric says you go for it. Had they converted, the Chiefs would have won the game. Had they not, they still would have had a chance to win that they had at the game’s end.

But what I didn’t see makes me feel just as shitty.

I feel bad for Jamaal, Bowe, Smith, Hali, and others, but I feel terrible for fans that had to experience that.

Sorry milkman, Reaper, OTW, ChiefsCountry, Flopnuts, Rainman, Bob Dole, and countless hundreds of others that populate this site. You didn’t deserve that experience.

I feel like the football antichrist dragged his carcass from the bowels of Hell to smite us one more time.

I am fairly certain that I agree with Hamas' in every way.

[MahiMike]

I feel so bad for Andy and Alex. Alex had the game of his life and Andy adjusted very nicely with his star player out. Alex could never imagine that our defense was gonna be this bad.

[BlackHelicopters]

Facial cum shot.

Great post, Hamas. I saw the same things, and am in complete agreement.

While it would be nice if Gochiefs was the 2nd-to-last internet troll, there are unfortunately many, many more internet trolls to come in the future.

Upon further review, that post should've read "Wendler is the consummate internet troll"

If I had to put this loss on one player its Kendrick Lewis.

Unfortunately most every person here knows he is our weak link so I cant figure out how our coaches haven't figured it out.

He needs to be gone yesterday.

Great post, Hamas.

However, compared to things like the 1995 playoff game, it hurts a lot less, so that's progress. I am convinced that the key to happiness is to move on from the NFL.

I know exactly how you feel. I lived it.

Looking back, Art Modell did me a huge favor when he moved and renamed the Browns. I got to keep the NFL, leave behind the horrible pain of seeing the team I loved lose, and none of it was in my control or my fault.

I actually wonder if the best thing for the Chiefs and their fans would be a move to L.A. They could better compete for free agents and the league would actually take them seriously. Plus, we wouldn't have to continue this charade that the team is named for H. Roe Bartle, the nomadic, arrowhead-collecting former mayor.

How many times this SEASON did I say that and routinely get CRUSHED for it. That's the most frustrating part.

Changes will be swift and brutal.

Hope...is kindled.

You made the same mistake in 2010.

LOL. Still comparisons about Cassel like they hold any water whatsoever.

[ChiefRocka]

Kendrick gets beat so badly that he can't get close enough to the receivers to foul them as they run by. Just realized that most good teams with weak secondaries need to hold, contact downfield, etc....we can't even do that right.
