Chiefs Losing is easier when there's no hope.

**DaFace** · 10-10-2010, 02:32 PM

The past few years, the losses have become easier and easier to take. When you have no expectations, a loss is a loss, and a win is a nice surprise.

I'd almost forgotten the afternoon funk that follows a loss when you actually thought the Chiefs had a chance.

No joke. Judging by the anger of Chiefs fans they have started to believe.

Thig Lyfe · 10-10-2010, 02:36 PM

Yup. I'm totally deflated right now and I have too much shit to do.

Cassel just raped the rest of my weekend.

Agree with the principle, disagree with the feeling today. I watched a team that's better than the 6-10/7-9/8-8 record we all predicted. This is a team that looks good to watch.

The reason this loss sucks so much is because Indy did everything they could to gift us the game and we couldn't take advantage of it.

Manning sucked and our defense was awesome...you tell me that before the game and I 100% think it's a Chiefs W.

Hammock Parties · 10-10-2010, 02:41 PM

Yep, today was tough. Gut-wrenching.

It's gonna take some time to get used to it again.

Red Brooklyn · 10-10-2010, 02:41 PM

I don't feel good. But I feel fine. This is about what I expected, give or take. We learned a lot about who this team is in a definative way. And we have the opportunity to see how this team responds to a tough loss.

No one expected us to go undefeated. There have been many losses that stung much worse.

MichaelH · 10-10-2010, 02:45 PM

I posted a few days ago that if the defense makes Manning cry like Philip Rivers then there's a good chance for a win. I didn't factor in the QB. For now on he's just the QB until he gets hurt or replaced permanently. When the team is real bad like last year and the years under Hermie, I learned not to get down. But the poor QB play along with some costly gambles cost the Chiefs a win against an excellent team. That hurts.

LaChapelle · 10-10-2010, 02:48 PM

They played far better than I expected(defense)
I don't feel bad for this loss at all
I already knew Cassel sucked balls

Fritz88 · 10-10-2010, 02:50 PM

I am extremely contend with this loss.

I have known all along that Cassel is an incompetent piece of shit.

I know that Bowe is not a clutch WR.

I knew JC would cough the ball up at one point every now and then.

Our D is great. We may not have sacked Manning, but we gave him hell in picking and connecting with his targets.

What is new is that I learned that I have a coach who has enough balls. He is taking too many chances. He will learn just like he learned from last year, to pick his battles carefully. I like.

Stupid question, but was Hali's hit on Manning not counted as a sack? I was watching at a bar in NYC w/o sound. We were all jumping around like idiots.

**007** · 10-10-2010, 02:52 PM

well, look at it this way. Pioli will have Carl syndrome with Cassel so get used to it.

tk13 · 10-10-2010, 02:52 PM

I don't hate this one as much as the playoff losses, for obvious reasons. I thought it was going to be a very difficult game to win.

And for all the mistakes we did make... it's not like we didn't get a first down till the 3rd quarter, or couldn't force them to punt. We played great on defense, and our offense lost us the game but we were in position to make plays to change the game. We just didn't make them.

We did sack Manning.

I feel bad because this game was more winnable than I though it would be, but even if we win 11 games, that means we lose 5. I would expect, in any season, that @ Indy would be one of them.
