Well fellas what do we think?

Mahomes wasn't particularly good that day. It was the epitome of what you will see and hear a lot of if you pay attention to fans and media who cover the Chiefs. Most of the time, when the Chiefs lose, it's more about what they don't do versus what the other team does do. I don't mean that in the general sense that in every loss you can point to a few things you could've done differently, I mean that most of the Chiefs losses are pretty full of mistakes that they don't usually make. If you add the 4 points from the Kelce drop, plus the missed FG plus add 3 for the FG we would've had if Butker had been in, we score 26 points that day vs the Colts.

Don’t forget to mention that we actually won that game until Chris Jones said something mean in a football game and the referee took great offense to it. It’s the reason I’ve been laughing at everyone who tries to bring up bad refereeing this week but can’t point to 1 significant call that affected the outcome of the game. That 1 unsportsmanlike taunting penalty literally cost us the game.

Seriously, that was the reason. FTR this is the same douchenozzle ref that chased down Bosa and then flagged him for something HE said. This power-tripping ****tard flags for language. What a ****ing Karen.

I agree on the “mean words” flag and it was BS. But KC is the better team and it never should have come down to that call. The Colts were missing their best defender and KC still did not score like they could have.

Orlando Brown was also operating on a bad wheel after hurting his knee in Arizona and got whipped repeatedly by Ngakuoe.

Skyy Moore dropped a punt to give the Colts first and goal at the 4.

Chiefs missed a FG and ran a fake instead of a FG to leave six more points out there.

Without a healthy and reliable kicker, it's a typical ho-hum Chiefs 23-20 win against a bad team.

Take out the Moore fumble or the Kelce drop, and it's 23-13 or 27-20.

Yep, all true. Just pointing out that despite our mediocre/poor play, "playing down to lesser competition", we had it won until "yellow hanky Karen" decided to ask for a manager.

Gainwell and Sanders only combined for about 250 yards on 43 catches for the year.

There’s really very literal mystery about where they want to throw the ball.

Their running game is just so effective. It really does a ton to open up their downfield passing attack.

I do wonder if playing so many bad QBs this year allowed them to rely on the run game more.

They’ve been able to bring a sword to a knife fight all year.

The Super Bowl is a gun fight though. Will the sword be as effective?

Also, since the shoulder, the deep ball is a bit off which had been tops in the league this year. Go Birds!

What are Eagles fans saying about this game?

Not if KC jumps out to a big lead. That’s a team that benefits greatly from being ahead. They can bludgeon a team with their ground game and pin their ears back on defense as the other team has to pass to play catch up. I would be shocked if they don’t continue that, especially if Hurts isn’t 100% by the game.

The Eagles are a team that could be down 17-3 and they'd still be handing off.

in addition, Skyye Moore muffed like 2 or 3 punts that day. It was an early season game and this team was still finding itself. The offense only had 1 WR that was not a new player. Defense was(is) full of rookies.

Edit: And the Chiefs had the game won when they stopped the Colts on 4th down only to get flagged by some idiot ref for Chris Jones saying something mean to the QB.

Bring it.

I mean that in the sense that I don't think they can play a game where Hurts has to pass 40 times. It's why being ahead is important, they haven't had to change what they do much at all.
