Chiefs That was our best shot and we missed it - Page 12

staylor26 · 01-22-2019, 05:29 AM

I know it sounds irrational because it was essentially just year 1 for Mahomes, but this was probably our best ****ing shot and we failed (because of a ****ing offsides penalty). We have two more years of Mahomes on his rookie deal (he’ll get paid before year 5), and I just feel like it’s unlikely that we get the 1st seed with a relatively injury free season again before it’s time to pay up.

I think with Berry you've just gotta get the surgery and get him to 100% and hope.

I refuse to believe Hitchens just sucks.

Give me a new better DC and some reinforcements and see what happens I guess.

Hitchens needs help, new scheme, new teammates next to him, everything.

I agree with that Berry might be a complete sunk cost. He looks toast.

Yes yes and yes...it seems like we too many times we just line up and run what we run, there's no deception or trying to put doubt in the opposing QB's head or anything.

Move guys around, fake things, try new concepts...hell anything lol.

The Pats DL stunted on something like 56 percent of their snaps Sunday. The Chiefs do it once?

The reason the offense is so deadly is that Andy is always scheming guys open, plus the guys are super talented. It's not like that on d. It's all relying on the guys to make the play themselves. They don't get help via the scheme.

I've added that to my wish list..

I hope we'll have other chances, but I agree that this was a huge lost opportunity. The #1 seed, a weak #2 seed, and the offense we had? That doesn't happen very often. It's painful to know that we should be in the Super Bowl, but aren't.

People keep saying the Pats were weaker than normal. Based on how they lost 1-2 more meaningless regular season games than they usually do? The Patriots are Golden State. They don’t GAF about the regular season. When it’s playoff time, they do their thing. Back in the Super Bowl like ****ing boring always.

That's the Chiefs role in the NFL's troope. Kind of like the never before seen actor in the James T. Kirk era Star Trek, you knew that dude's role was almost always to die... Instead we're more like South Park's Kenny, we just always get killed...

When we’re hosting next year’s AFC Championship Game, somebody bump this up.

I hope you're not suggesting doing that during the game? We're lucky to keep the server running for the chat and the game thread, so it might be wise to lock all other threads during the game.

But yes, in the week before next year's AFCCCG, it would be fun to bump this thread and reminisce...

Trust me, I’ll do it myself if that happens.

With the Patriot's shithole division it took a Miami miracle for us to host this year. We may be in the Championship game again, but I seriously doubt we'll be hosting it.

Or hope that the Pats are upset before the AFCCG, has always worked for the Steelers.

Our BEST shot is year 1 of starting Mahomes?!?
I really hope you don't believe that. That makes it seem like you think Mahomes has peaked, which he has not.
This was just the FIRST shot, and a great chance, but there will be others.
We won't always have the league's worst D.

Defense could be better offense could get worse.

either way Brady is another year older.
