And that's why I liked that first drive so much... when you're at the end of your rope frustrated and it seems like absolutely everything that can go wrong is going wrong, get back to basics.
Then it went to shit.... and that's the adversity they've always been so good at overcoming, but last night (purely guessing) it seemed to get in their heads after just one drive.

I agree, my first thought after the opening drive was exactly that. Here we go again. They seemed to have that thought as well.
Remember how the sideline shots during the game were so fun, they were rallying each other and Reid and Mahomes were over there scheming up new ways to score while the Defense was on the field. Offense and Defense were cheering each other on. High fives and smiling faces even after something went wrong.
That isnt happening this year. The sideline looks way different. I especially noticed Kelce last night, this guy usually has FUN. He looked shell shocked every time they showed him. No one went over to him and said, its OK, you will probably win this game for us. Of course I dont know that for sure its just what it looked like and was an example of what I see happening this year. How the team doesnt seem to be as tight as in the past.
I know the losing is tough and is contributing to this but its one more thing that seems off this year.
