Some Things About Today’s Game Week 17: KC 31 Zebras 34

The Chiefs did not get their “Ass Whipped.” They lost on a field goal kicked on the final play of the game. So stow that “ass kicked” garbage. It’s not true.

This is the first time we’ve lost a game in the last eight games. This was on the road, missing our two starting tackles. When you lose your two starting tackles, things usually don’t go well. Go back and watch last years Super Bowl if you don’t believe that.

When you get outscored 17-3 in the second half of a shootout game, you don’t deserve to win. Go back and watch the KC-Tennessee playoff game from the Alex Smith era if you don’t believe that.

Chase had more yards receiving and more TDs than Mahomes had passing in both of those categories. If your DC can’t adjust to a guy who is burning you deep over and over, you don’t deserve to win.

The Bengals got six first downs awarded on penalties. Chiefs got Zero.

Get over the kickoff return call back. Anderson was holding. That’s what happens when you activate a practice squad guy in a big game. They make stupid mistakes. You have to just get past it. Chiefs didn’t. They only scored three points in the second half

If you put Sorenson on deep coverage, you deserve to lose. The first seven games of the season should have taught Spags that. If Sorenson is back on this team next year, something is seriously wrong with Bruce Valanche. When you give up a third and 27 deep in the fourth quarter, you deserve to lose.

The last minute of this game was eerily similar to the loss against the Raiders in Oakland three years ago. How many chances are the stripes going to give the Cincy offense to win? Five? Six? More??? Answer: Whatever it takes.

We may need to draft another offensive tackle next year. Niang seems to be injury prone and is unreliable for the long run of an entire NFL season. Get a Free Agent, or just keep Wiley starting at right tackle.

Silver Lining Stuff: Thuney is a very good offensive lineman. Hardman made a nice catch. Kelce got his 700th reception faster than any other tight end in the history of the NFL. Williams is a really good running back.

Future: We’ve probably lost the number one seed. Tits play the Texans next week. The Tits won’t make the mistake the Bolts made, and they’ll crush them. The winners of the other three divisions, Bills, Bengals and Tits, all beat us head to head in the regular season. So we have no complaint if we’ve lost the number one seed. That was the prize today, and this team failed to secure the prize. The guys needs to suck it up, prepare for Denver and get in the mind set to deal out some payback in the playoffs. That’s all I have to say about that. It’s very hard to make it to three Super Bowls in a row. We’re seeing how hard that road is now.

A brutal loss. No doubt. No matter what, we’re the AFC West Champions. Hopefully this will wake the team up and give them some motivation. Beat Denver. Beat them down. Beat them bad.

Tyreek dropped a 65 yard pass that hit him in the chest. Spags decided to phone this one in. Some of those penalties were obviously terrible calls but the Chiefs did a great job of beating themselves as well.

Agree entirely with this post. We didn't deserve it, even with the awful refs

poolboy · 01-02-2022, 05:04 PM

our dbs must have a reputation or something because the refs were all over us
Spags did not adjust at halftime

**petegz28** · 01-02-2022, 05:06 PM

So let me get this straight:

On one had we had too many penalties that hurt us too much

but on the other hand this was one of the worst officiated games in the NFL this season

Katie · 01-02-2022, 05:07 PM

Well, it is what it is. On to the Broncos. Take care of business going forward.

Red Dawg · 01-02-2022, 05:09 PM

We must keep the 2 seed. It's not that bad to have if not the one.

**Bearcat** · 01-02-2022, 05:10 PM

Agreed with the sentiment of the post... there's a lot that could be complaints, but aren't, like the holding on the kickoff return and several of the DPIs that were clearly DPIs.

That said... the 3rd down DPI on what looked like Burrow throwing a comeback route and the WR not coming back was total bullshit, I believe on their go ahead drive.

And end of the day regardless of the outcome, it's a ****ing shame the final few minutes were completely ruined by the refs. I could only laugh at the double holding call, how sadly fitting.

The strategy of the final couple minutes along with the goal line stand and whether the guy got in on 4th down...... that was such a great ending, ****ing ruined by the refs.

Yeah that was really too bad. Imagine if they turn it over on downs after going shotgun there. As soon as they marked him short I think everyone in KC was just bracing for the flag.

ping2000 · 01-02-2022, 05:37 PM

It sucks to lose, but it really sucks to have to listen to the talking heads suck Bengal cock all week when they barely won and we got ****ed.

**PHOG** · 01-02-2022, 05:42 PM

Thanks for the perspective. Refs blew it. So did we. On to the Donkos.

**TinyEvel** · 01-02-2022, 05:42 PM

Astute recap as always, G-blow. Very mature and with just enough grumbling.

I hated this game. Every time the Chiefs stopped a Cincy play I was just waiting for the flag. Or when Chiefs made an advance I was also waiting for a flag. When you are constantly praying "no flags" out loud for the whole second half of a game, it just ain't right.

I DON'T think the refs are in on some conspiracy, tho. I understand how it makes a fan's ego feel good to think that -- that we are a better team who got cheated out of a win.

To me it's more like these refs were officiating together for the first time, and they get conservative and make mistakes, or call things that more comfortable refs would normally not, like in several other games we've played. Just, why did it have to be THIS game?! So many head-scratching calls, it felt like when those replacement refs were reffing during the zebra strike.

Whatever. Hope we crush the Donks and every team in the playoffs and the Super Bowl.

Ward was with Chase all day, even had his hand on the ball twice,he can’t help it if the ball was perfectly placed and Chase is taller and has great hands. It wouldn’t have hurt to have rolled some safety help over to his side occasionally. He wasn’t the problem.

Solid takes across the board George.
