That was our best shot and we missed it

[staylor26]

I know it sounds irrational because it was essentially just year 1 for Mahomes, but this was probably our best ****ing shot and we failed (because of a ****ing offsides penalty). We have two more years of Mahomes on his rookie deal (he’ll get paid before year 5), and I just feel like it’s unlikely that we get the 1st seed with a relatively injury free season again before it’s time to pay up.

This is only the beginning, guys. Chill the **** out.

I'm stupefied that a Chiefs fan could lose the AFCC game in OT and somehow think we'll never win a SB.

For ****'s sake, had we won the coin toss we probably would have been in this one...

We will keep most of our key pieces on offense.

On defense... Say we cut everybody tomorrow. Haven't we proven we can get to an afc championship game on pretty much a zero defense?

There's nowhere to go but up. And the ceiling is huge.

I’d like to see us add either a legit #2 TE threat or another WR quick enough to get open vs man... just to protect against injury if nothing else. Agreed on all counts.

We'll just trade for Brown...

There's def. a window, I think we'll be back for sure...having said that, I'm still extremely bitter about the loss and don't think it's all sunshine and rainbows...

You're not guaranteed anything in this league and when you get into these positions, you have to capitalize on them period.

My faith in Mahomes is at the highest so I think if nothing else he could will us to a Super Bowl...just hope Andy and his ways don't impede that.

24% of the 2019 cap on Houston, Berry, Hitchens. LOL GROSS

Get all of that, avoid all of the other and move on knowing that you maximized the best of Mahomes before you were saddled with all that contract debt.

Go kill yourself. Now.

I'd imagine they'll pretty much have to do something with Berry and Houston's money. I don't know what but they can't do that again.

Hitchens is just weird to me. He never played in Dallas like he did this year.

FU Jets Bills and Fins.

Patriots W-L percentage is about the same inside and outside the division, so yeah, not really. But whatever makes you feel better.

Yip regarding Hitchens. I think it's because of the lack of accountability to the coaching staff here vs in Dallas, but it's just a guess. He flat out sucks at tackling on most running plays.

He leads our team in tackles by a wide margin. He just waits until they're well beyond the first down marker to do it.

How can you not feel this way after we’ve been waiting so long for a QB/offense and when we finally have one our defense goes to shit?

You mean like Kareem Hunt? Or Sammy Watkins? Or our starting G and C? Did you forget we played the 2nd half of the season in games without all of those guys and still put up 26 points?

Mahomes was making it rain without all those guys against the Ravens #1 ranked defense. He did it with Tyreek playing on one leg too.

Not worried about this at all man and neither should you. If Andy Reid is consistent in one thing, it’s finding offensive talent and fitting it in his scheme.

Look at all the talent he’s found in Philly and KC. We’ll be fine.

Only the Chiefs could have the NFL’s best value and ruin it with shitty contracts for defensive players one of whom can’t even play.
