Its sucks because we were a better team than the Chiefs. We were the better team for 3 quarters even. I HATE that all the loudmouth analysts who said KC was superior now smugly think they were right.
Part of the sport unfortunately. If you don't play your best football for 60 minutes(sometimes longer) and you go home with the L and everyone gets to take their shots.
Chiefs fans gloating like they've been dominating the NFL for decades now, I guess that's what happens when you get your first taste of championship football for the first time in 50 years
We were the better team but in the end KC made more plays than we did. Whether some of our guys/coaches felt we had it on cruise control doesn't matter...they made more plays. As frustrating as it was seeing the officials basically call the game where the strengths of the Chiefs were exaggerated and our strengths were weakened we still had opportunities to make plays and win the game. We failed to do that and it sucked.
I echo your comments where I was hoping Jimmy would ball out and shut up everyone but it didn't happen. I thought he played a pretty good game all things considered until the end but as I've discussed many times in here as bad as some people are making out his 4th quarter to be it wasn't "choking" type stuff.
He missed one throw. It was a big throw and had he made it he'd be talked about as the next great NFL QB. That's how it goes sometimes. But he didn't miss a slant on a 1 yard line for a game losing pick(and the guy who did that is doing pretty darn good for himself btw) he missed a low % deep throw to a guy who had 2 guys right on his heels. Mahomes gets credit for hitting a wide open Hill and people act like Jimmy missing Sanders is a slam dunk throw that any other QB makes. huh?
Either way...we blew the opportunity and now have to show people we have what it takes to get back there and get the W this time. It won't be easy but I definitely think Jimmy will up his game. We'll have to see where it gets us.
