Yep. Only the Chargers will be out of it by then having lost to the Pats and Donx. BUT they will still win AT Arrowhead and knock the Chiefs out of the Playoffs. That will be the last kick in the ball sack by this team this year.

Chargers will win on a last second PI call on a 40 yard throw by Rivers. Just like they won the Ravens game. Something KC is too afraid to even attempt. Safer to take the sack or kneel on the ball.

But man it is really amazing how good this offense is when alex can complete a 3 step drop, and jamaal isnt getting plastered in the backfield

What's happening is:

Reid calls some bonehead plays, we kick the ball;

Sutton's head has been planted in his ass, so we give up a score;

Reid then realizes that Charles exists and doesn't want the beating the fans will deliver if he neglects him again, so he goes incredibly predictable. Kick it away again;

Sutton is still chomping on the turds he discovered on the previous drive, so we give up another score;

We are now in a hole (much like Sutton), and are forced to play to our oline's weaknesses and their awfulness is exposed.

If we can start with a lead; we have a chance to go tit for tat. If they score first and we don't respond; we're ****ed.

This is EXACTLY what happened.

When we threw the ball 3 straight times and punted I knew we were ****ed.

Exactly even Bowe said the Chiefs aren't a team where they can come back and win

Don't get me started on having two time outs, not used, and kneeling to go to halftime when we kick to start the 3rd.

Horrible, HORRIBLE coaching.

[ViperVisor]

Charles and Nile + Sherman doing work and people associate it with 'the o-line is good'.

Sideways passing and quick slants/comebacks to Bowe. Screens.
Those all hide O-Line weakness by getting the pass off quick.

Deep drops and situations where play-action isn't believable and the O-Line is asked to hold up for 3 seconds hasn't happened much this year.

Brady was getting pressure up the middle early in the year and he was dead because no scramble ability and forcing passes that shouldn't of been even tried or the pressure made him miss the open guy.
They got the interior of the O-Line sorted out and traded Mankins because he wasn't good anymore.

“Keep our heads down and just know it takes one game to get back into it,” Bowe said. “We got to start by that one game. I think we’re going to get back to the basics next week and just start off with Chiefs’ style football, pounding and grinding and open it up with the play-action.”
