All that said, we didn't deserve to win this game. Horrible mistakes, just stupid. I think the 0 pass rush on 3 and 15 was inexcusable.

Excellent point, Jamrcus Russell fell FORWARD with the ball and was not touched, he did not give himself up. A QB sith the ball in his hands and not slideing feet first is a runner, and is open game. Would they have thrown a flag on the Chiefs if that had been McFadden, of course not. Still inexcusable to let Russell drive down the field at the end of the game.
