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. |

You can always spot morons in these topics by looking for one thing:
Who are the dipshits calling out the best players on the team and blaming them instead of putting the blame on the scores of mediocre performers? People like you wanted to trade Derrick Thomas. Shut the **** up. Kelce wouldn't have been throwing anything if the offense (and specifically the QB) wasn't shitting the bed all goddamn game. |

Team is soft. Especially the OL. They are mega soft.

And it's not specifically about wanting/needing a dirty player. The toughest defenses in the league are always punishing tacklers that play with a nasty streak. Aggressive play that draws hate and claims of "dirty" from opposing fans. For all of Chiefs fans' crying over Denver being dirty, is sure as **** didn't keep that team from winning a super bowl. Great defenses have a certain attitude. KC has none of it. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Kelce saying that they can't beat cover 2 is about as direct at Smith as you can get.

I mean, in theory, just run 4 verts at them a few times successfully and they'll reconsider the coverage. |

Does that entail an extended drop back and making multiple reads?

Ray Lewis might be the best example I can think of. He wasn't known for being dirty. He was smart and mean, and relished hitting people hard. Berry is the closest we have to that for sure.

Now, if you want to blame it on coaching and Reid not being committed to the running game, I'll certainly buy into that being a factor. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I was simply providing a possible alternative explanation for Kelce's words. I'm not inside Kelce's head. |

The only constant in that department is coaching. Andy Heck has been here since Reid arrived. No, I have no clue what he's doing wrong or how to fix it. I'm not an OL coach. Somewhere, somehow, we're not putting these guys in good positions to get push. That could be on Reid as well. |
