Chiefs What I Saw - Page 14

'Hamas' Jenkins · 01-04-2014, 07:26 PM

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.

Seriously, what are the chances that a 38-year old QB comes back and throws 55 TDs again?

Slim to none.

Shit, ****er might retire after winning the Super Bowl this year.

What are the chances of a 33 year old going 32/11 4,400+ yards? Because that guy's winning the division next year.

I'm very proud of my football team and excited for next season.

What areas do you feel need most improvement to go deeper into playoffs next year?

When you play for a snakebitten ****ing team, that's what happens. Seriously. You score 44 ****ing points, you should win the goddam game. ****. That is all. Mother ****!

TheUte · 01-04-2014, 10:17 PM

Need a big back for that 3rd and short, stop getting JC beat up.

Stalker · 01-04-2014, 10:25 PM

The colts won because of our injuries, they have nothing to be proud of. Silly ****ing stupid artificial turf, the whole game the commentators were pining for the colts and golden boy luck to get back into the game. It is sad and pathetic how the Chiefs are just completely ignored and disrespected in this league. Totally unlucky, we deserve to win that game and be in the next round but hey we're the Chiefs, luck is not in our vocabulary.

I can't disagree with that

And two starting offensive linemen. And a DE. And an OLB. And then another safety.

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 01-04-2014, 10:39 PM

I've been inconsolable all night. Wrecked. Distraught. Heart broken. Empty. I've dumped people on Facebook. I've wished AIDS on people. I didn't know the Chiefs still had this kind of control over me. I don't know how long it will take to even turn the page on this. I'm still lost almost 4 hours later.
