Chiefs Quick Thoughts of Loss to Steelers - Page 2

Hoover · 12-21-2014, 03:22 PM

1. Ever since the schedule was released I always considered this a Chiefs loss. Pittsburg is a difficult place to play, especially if they are somewhat healthy.

2. Always take the points. I loved the fake field goal, but had the Chiefs kicked a FG before the end of the half we would have been 8 yards away from a tied game.

3. The lack of an actual passing attack makes the Chiefs easy to defend. People figured us out mid-season, which is why we struggled in the second half of the season.

4. Left guard may be the biggest position of need in the off season. Yikes it’s bad.

5. Besides our offense output, the reason why we are on the outside looking in as far as the playoffs go is because our defense does not force turnovers. We averaged over two turnovers per game in 2014, this year its less than one. Our inability to force turnovers just kills us.

6. I’m actually impressed with our defense against the pass. Big Ben was 18 of 25 for 220 yards and one TD. Bell had 20 carries for 63 yards and a TD. If you would have shown me those stats before the game I think we would all say it’s a Chiefs victory.

7. I don’t want the Chiefs to make the playoffs. Let’s face it, it’s not like we are a team that can get hot and make a run in the playoffs. At this point I’d rather have a higher draft pick.

8. Speaking of the draft, biggest need is a left guard, not a safety, not a OLB, and not a CB. We need to come away from the first two rounds with a playmaker at WR and a legit guard.

9. As frustrating as it is that Ford doesn’t play much, he does find a way to flash when he does play. That gives me hope for next season when he is a starter.

10. I swear the refs have it out for the Chiefs. I know every fan says this about their team but how many BS calls do we have to endure?

Someone needs to pull you off life support.

For the record I don't want and I don't think it's necessary to use our first rounder on a guard, but I'd give some serious thought to using our second rounder there unless we do something unexpected in free agency.

I do think Jeff Allen has some value, but its hard to count on him being the upgrade we need. Our guard play hurts the running game, not just the passing game.

As for our biggest needs, I agree that WR is one of them, but not DBs. We should use the mid rounds to add depth in the defensive backfield and find a ILB.

20 seconds left one timeout only down by 4 AND you get the ball back at the start of the half.. you take the ****ing points every time. Dwayne Bowe's drop earlier was the bigger play. Charles's lost fumble was the nail in the coffin.

Steelers have one of the best offenses in the league and we held them to 20. The secondary lacks stars and interceptions but is effective within the definition of the scheme.

You only say that because the offense was completely inept.

A couple TDs and the D would have led us to a win.

Guess who let the team down again?

Defenses that play really well don't let teams run all over them in the 4th quarter and eat up half of the quarter and allow them to extend the lead to a 2 score game. They step up and get the ball back.

The defense didn't get it done when they needed to. They folded late.

Scapegoating individuals is what stupid people do. KC's defense played well most of the game, and they shit themselves in the 4th.

WTF

**LoneWolf** · 12-21-2014, 03:50 PM

Secondary hasn't allowed a 300 yard passer all season and just held the number one offense in the NFL to 20 points on the road, but they need shot at dawn.

The stupidity of this place is staggering at times.

If the offense scores more than the defense allows, we win.

Stellar analysis. I'm surprised you're not getting paid for this.

This is the dumbest goddamned thing I've read all day.

This!

Make no mistake, this loss is 100% on the OL, Reid, and AS.

They failed on that drive. If they make a stop, who knows. They failed. 2 score game with 4 minutes left. It was over at that point.

I'm not blaming the defense, I'm saying blaming ONE person is what a moron does because they're too stupid to analyze the entire situation. I'm not going to pat anyone on that back when they fail at the most crucial moment.

Just like the rest of the team, they lost today. And they sure did give up plays when they could least afford to.

I'll agree that the offense, Alex, Jamal, the O-line, and WRs, as a group, were far worse, but **** it they suck too...

Now, I'll admit that Powe, Houston and Hali are awesome, but the rest of them either couldn't start on most other teams, or are just drawing a paycheck.

And, since they don't ever seem to have any choice words (in public) for the O-line, **** um. let them take the heat with the O-line they;re afraid to call-out publically....
