Is Mahomes going to throw 6 TDs and play a perfect game again so we can squeak by the Steelers again?

That's what it'll take to for this team to win a playoff game.

Do not punt, Do not kickoff only do onsides and go for 2 everytime. It's the only way with this shidefense.

They need to send the house more.

If they score quick so what. Make it an up-tempo game.

It's too bad no NFL coach would ever have the balls to do it, but this is exactly the team you'd do it with.

Id be down for everything except the OSK. Only 8% chance to recover.

We probably should have at least done it on the 2nd last kick last night. Worst case scenario was just giving them a shorter field to score their touchdown and holding them to a FG would have led to a 6 point game.

I agree. I'm for trying the onside kick earlier if you are down 4 or less. If you don't get it you are in the same situation where you need to stop them from getting 3 or so first downs. If you do you are giving up a FG at worst and getting the ball back with a chance to win or tie.

If you kick it off you are still in the exact same situation of having to stop them in 3 or less first downs and get the ball back. Difference being a FG might win it or tie it instead of needing a touchdown.

1. Chance of getting onside kick OR defense gets a stop plus your offense being able to score a TD

Advantages- 2 different ways to get ball back. Via onside kick or stopping them.

Disadvantages- Now need a TD or need a FG in poor field position

vs.
2. Chance of defense getting a stop and your defense gets a FG

Advantages- Possibly a shorter field and only need a FG

Disadvantage- Take away onside kick possibility and need your defense to step up

Would be interested in finding % of each situation occurring and seeing what the odds really are. Especially if we could compare the %'s of poor defenses specifically.
Especially if you are down 4 points, I think option 1 is best since you need a TD anyway. With a normal defense option 2 might be best but with the offense and defense we have, having the additional chance of getting an onside kick attempt might be worth it if the risk is just having to ask you offense to do more when they get the ball back.

Reid was calling 3 run plays in a row, when we are down on the road. Put the ball in your MVP’s hands and let him win the game.

A Super Star QB is being wasted by a pile of shit defense and its POS DC.

Until we lose in the playoffs, we have a chance. Mahomes isn’t doing as well as of late, and that is a bit concerning, but so much blame is on the D right now. Broken tackles are killing us the last three weeks. More than the whole season of horrible D play.

Bottom line, we’re still on the driver’s seat for the playoffs. HFA or not. We probably could loose to Oakland next week and still get a bye. This is huge. Does it suck to almost loose to the ravens, loose to the chargers and now loose to the seahags? Absolutely!!!!!! But it’s not over by a long shot!

The whole “this is the same old Chiefs” is stupid, it’s a new team, not hitting on all cylinders right now, and that sucks, but it’s not the same “old chiefs” theme.

IF we keep loosing this year, we still have a very bright future with PMII, and that is wonderful for us Chiefs fans

I love how Patrick's "not as well" is better than most QB's bests

Exactly!! I also love how I kept typing loose instead of lose, but we can leave that for the grammar nazis to point out.

PMII has made a tremendous splash in the NFL. I’m not ready to overlook that. MVP race aside.

eDave · 12-24-2018, 02:32 AM

Coach Reid should have handed this game over to his QB in the 4th. He didn't.

Coach did not play to win. I feel like my cat died.

I'm more disappointed in myself at this point. The whole thing is bullshit.

**New World Order** · 12-24-2018, 02:37 AM

Andy treated this game like preseason.

He wanted to see what Williams could do in the first half. We only threw it what, 12 times?

Young corners starting (when they were capable of playing) and Berry being held out the last series.

Really don't think Andy wanted to go full-blast tonight.
