What I Saw

The secondary is overrated no matter how much you want to blame Sutton.

[Titty Meat]

Bad Guy anyway we demote your boy Sutton like Rex Ryan did.

I hope so.

I was dead wrong about him.

Hamas, this is the post of the year. Summed up my feelings.

Alex Smith showed me a lot today. Bowe showed me a lot (although he has to score on that second possession).

Flowers and Abdullah were the only ones who came to play today. Poe was a non-factor, DJ seemed lost, Houston's legs got tired. Hali hasn't been the same since the Raider game. After using Berry one way all year, dickface Sutton changes it up and makes him a 2 deep safety.

I want to act surprised that they blew this, but I just feel every playoff game from now on will be to one-up the previous shit sandwich we've been served.

Smith has limitations, but he rose to the occasion today. The Chiefs lost their biggest playmaker and Smith put the offense on his shoulders.

And Reid's playcalling in the 2nd half yanked the team from Smith's shoulders.
I blame Reid as much as Sutton and the D for failing to hold the lead.

How many times did Smith throw flares and screens in the second half?
Reid took the game from Smith's hands.

Seriously. The loss of Charles doesn't even need explanation. Coaches are furiously going over blocking assignments on the sideline with Davis. They lose Avery and the Colts defense no longer has to worry about the receiver most likely to hurt them deep.

The injuries change the way the Colts defend, the playcalling, and Smiths timing.

If ever there was an excuse for an offense to stall, KC had it today.

Great post.

[milkman]

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.

[OnTheWarpath15]

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

[Marcellus]

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.

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.

Great post, Hamas.

[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.

[McBeard]

Great post Hamas. I feel you nailed everything except for Bowe. He had a good game but it was more of the same. He was 1 for 3 when we needed him most. He converted one third down, dropped another, and couldn't come through on the 4th down biggest play of all. It's the same old Bowe and we can't count on him. He can get 200 yards and 3 TDs but he will rarely catch a third and short. Sorry but he gets no love from me. I hope he gets convicted so we can opt out of that contract. It would be nice to get our money back.

Kill yourself. The dumbassery of some around here is astonishing.

Yeah, we're loaded at WR, so we can afford to just let him go.

Also, reerun. Even if he's convicted, it's a simple possession charge. Small fine and a suspended sentence.

That's BlackBob you quoted, so yeah...
