Vikings fans could be crying the same tears about the week prior. Lions fans are certainly crying the same tears about the game earlier in the season. Sometimes we win these games and other times we lose them. Same as always. The existence of these losses doesn't necessarily spell the end of our season just because we haven't won a Super Bowl in a generation. Don't get me wrong: I'm not saying this was a good loss. It was a horrific, Because-Chiefs performance. But it's not like we were outplayed and didn't belong on the field as we've seen in prior pre-Mahomesian seasons. |

He was out of control. If he didn't lie to the Chiefs, there would have been another inevitable incident. Who kicks a drunk women on the ground?

I use to work with battered women, to help protect them from out of control men. I've known men who get in fights in bars, put their hands on women. It never stops until there is real consequences. Those men I knew were just joe blow's. not a coddled athlete who has got away with stuff all his life because he's good at sports. There is an anger within that they must deal with before moving on to a normal life.

It's a low percentage, inefficient play that people call for because for 50 years that's just what you did because nobody realized any better. People always just assume it's going to be executed and everything will be wine and roses from there while forgetting that the odds of failure are only marginally lower than a swinging away and the rewards are significantly lower. Yes, it occasionally has it's place, but far less often than people ever consider and nobody ever remembers the times it failed miserably. This team isn't good at running the football. It's runningbacks have failed miserably in a dozen different situations and Andy Reid is possibly the best in league HISTORY at screen design. Our interior line is in tatters and everything in the world suggested that they'd look to clog the middle and stuff a running play. What has given anyone the impression that Reiter and 2 backups were just going to push the pile at that point? Meanwhile the middle screen takes that squishy interior line and turns it into a strength if they crash down and leave space behind them. The play didn't work - it happens. But the assumption that some inside handoff was going to obviously work is asinine, just as the belief that a screen - something that the Chiefs do better than anyone in the league - was doomed to failure. There are a lot of things to bitch about from that game but the 3rd down play is just the epitome of Monday morning quarterbacking. Given this teams strengths/weaknesses as well as the risk/reward, that was a wholly defensible decision.

We've never had a QB that was even close to this level. That's the most important piece to winning a SB. History has nothing to do with it. Unless you believe in curses. |

I don't think he is. Reid hired him because they're buddies. Not because he's the best person for the job.
