Travis Kelce after OT loss: Chiefs 'have to man up'
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300...have-to-man-up
The Kansas City Chiefs lost their fourth game in five tries after Sunday's overtime defeat at the hands of the struggling New York Giants. Following the loss, tight end Travis Kelce called out his teammates to step up to the challenge down the stretch. "We have to man up," Kelce said, per the Kansas City Star. "Nobody is pointing fingers but guys have to get called out and be more accountable, and that starts with myself." The Chiefs failed to score a touchdown on 12 drives against a defense that had allowed 82 points in their previous two games and came in allowing 473.5 yards per game in their past three tilts. "You have to go out there and make plays, but we didn't," Kelce said. The tight end was the Chiefs best offensive weapon, with Kareem Hunt mostly stuck in the mud. Kelce went for 109 yards on eight catches. However, he also had a brutal interception on a bizarre play call with the score tied late in the fourth quarter. The Chiefs were supposed to walk into MetLife Stadium and wallop a punchless Giants team that appeared on the verge of mutinying on coach Ben McAdoo. Instead, New York showed more fight than the team battling for a playoff spot. "I saw this, not this outcome, but this effort and this attention to detail coming a mile away," Kelce said of the Giants' energy. "Just because of all the stuff you heard in the media with [McAdoo] challenging them. Our job is to go out there and match it. We fell short." Sitting at 6-4 in a limp AFC, the Chiefs are still in prime position for a playoff spot. K.C. owns a two-game lead in the AFC West with matchups against the Bills, Jets, and Raiders on tap. A winning streak would wipe away the bad taste from Sunday's loss in New Jersey. |

We can all see a lack of 100% effort by almost every player on the team. We got eyes, its on tape. Hunt and the coaches can see the tape too. Losing 4-5 with the talent we have playing lesser talent has to kill morale and effort in the locker room. Players not giving their best effort happens first because of personal reasons. They just are not going to give 100% because of a myriad of reasons. The major contributor either positive or negative is coaching. Just look at the Rams. Basically the same team. New coach, different effort and results. Its a hard physical game. The players need to buy in to the game plan and who is starting 100% in the NFL. IMHO, whats going on is that they might like Andy as a coach and or as a person, but..... that a large % of the players dont like the game plan, scheme and/or the personnel starting. Players told us publicly that they loved Grbac and Cassel. We found out later that was BS. Is this a situation where we have the locker room moving to starting Mahomes?

Yep, that is the last guy I can think of that actually wanted to be nasty. Other than him I can't think of anybody in the last 15 years really.

Was Houston in coverage alot or did he rush the passer? He was mostly invisible against a horrible line from what I saw. He surely needs to man up.

I really wish the Chiefs could find at least one defensive player that is angry as **** all the time, and truly wants to harm opponents in a legal manner. Like Burfict but not ****ing reeruned. Kam Chancellor might be a good example. He isn't out of control, and it is clear that his intent is to obliterate you. Sean Taylor type player would be fantastic.
Watching these guys sluff around every Sunday acting like a bunch of pussies is getting really old. When was the last time our D had a badass that showed up every week to kick the shit out of the other team?

Who's the last badass the Chiefs had playing for them? The guy that the entire AFC West hated and half the league's fans thought was dirty because of aggressive play? Pollard? I can't even think of a handful of guys that deserve consideration. Christ, I'm getting to the point where I miss that Dlineman that used grab ballsacks in the pile.
