Ten Things About Last Night’s Game: AFC Championship: NFL 37, Kansas City 31 in OT

Perhaps, "City of Heartbreaking Loss" should replace "City of Fountains" as our moniker?

10. Well, its the morning after. Apologies for taking so long to gather my thoughts and write this, trying to write and work at the same time. Happy MLK Day, BTW. Hope you got the day off. I think by sleeping on the loss I can approach this familiar feeling of disappointment with a clearer eye and the absence of emotional hysteria. Yesterday was a nine hour commitment for Mrs. B and me. We left for Arrowhead at 1:30 pm, got parked in a Gold Lot around 2pm, ate and napped in the car till 4:15. Stood in line in the cold for an hour and a half trying to get into Arrowhead, and didn’t get to the seat until seven minutes into the first quarter. That’s OK. I had to piss like Niagra Falls and it took me around five minutes just to peel down in my Michelin Man Suit just to get cleared for landing. So it was already 7-0 before I even got seated. I guess I should have just stayed in the can till after halftime. I kept thinking why in the world would the NFL schedule the games in the order they did? Why not let the outdoor venue play during the daytime, when it was as warm as it was going to be, and let the dome team play at night? Didn’t matter, TV contracts rule the roost.

9. Let’s get numbers out of the way early. Here’s some fun ones, Pats vs Chiefs: 94-47: Total plays run. 524-290: Total offensive yards. 176-41. Rushing yardage. 36-18: First downs. 0-4: Sacks Allowed. 44-21: TOP. The Pats had ZERO negative yardage plays from scrimmage. With all those numbers, you’d think Kansas City would have been beaten by around 21 points, especially since they were shut out in the first half. Mahomes scored 31 second half points against Hoodie BOTH TIMES he matched up against the Pats this year. Last time we lost in the last seconds by a field goal, this time we lost by a coin flip. Here’s my favorite “Because Chiefs” stat: Since 1940, teams that scored 31 points in the second half of an NFL playoff game were 64-1. Now the record is 64-2. Because Chiefs.

8. You can make a pretty good case for both sides of the ball being responsible for the loss if you want to point fingers. The offense went scoreless the first half. Mahomes did not look good, and his receivers gave him no help. Mahomes was sacked four times and was hurried about ten more times, so the Pats D line dominated our O Line, especially in the first half. Kelce and Hill combined for four catches. Four. After Kelce’s TD he disappeared, and had a ball boink off his face mask that would have gotten a first down. Kelce was outplayed again by Gronk, and has yet to prove himself the more reliable guy in games that matter. Hill was double teamed 95% of the time, which was certainly not his fault. I still think he’s playing hurt as his speed seems to be diminished over the past couple games. So a guy who was a third string back -Damien Williams- ends up with three TDs, and Sammy Watkins is the guy with over 100 yards. Mahomes has the higher QB rating: 117 to 77.1 because of Brady’s two picks. QB rating is the most worthless stat in pro football. Brady was in control the entire game until the last 30 seconds of regulation. Then he won the OT toss, and Game Over.

7. The defense had only given up seven points until less than 30 seconds left in the half. That’s decent. Brady probably would have had 21 if not for Ragland’s pick in the end zone to keep the Chiefs from getting blown out. Nelson continues to suffer from Bartee Disease and seems to either drop a pick, or get burned for a TD every single week. In the second half they had one fourth and one stop. The defense could not hold a four point lead with two minutes to a trip to Atlanta. Then in the OT they gave up three consecutive 3rd and 10’s. They couldn’t get the Pats off the field, so they did not deserve to win.

6. Kansas City seems to have cornered the market on bridesmaid coaches. We lived through Marty’s failures, and stubbornness to change, and now we have Andy, who has lost five playoff games in his tenure; two by two points, two by one point, and one in OT. He stubbornly allowed Bob Sutton to return this year. As of this writing on Monday morning, Bob Sutton is still employed by the Chiefs. God knows why. Andy is seen by most of the NFL as one of those guys who just can’t win the big one. And like Marty, his “coaching tree” has been more successful than he has been. Every year it’s the same story. He’ll get up and say “This is on me, we need to focus on improving and during the off season we’ll get better.” In fairness, we did at least win a home divisional game -which was definitely an improvement- but man, when you’re two minutes away from the Super Bowl and can’t hold a four point lead at home… that really hurts.

5. Eric Berry should be on an operating table THIS MORNING. The Chiefs gave him millions of dollars this year. Berry played when the spirit moved him, and when he did play in three games, Chiefs went 0-3. I like Eric Berry and admire him. But the old saying is “You Can’t Make the Club from the Tub.” If he needs to get his heel fixed, fix it TODAY and get him on the road back to health, or part ways. Houston was invisible. He had two tackles, no sacks, no impact plays. DT did that too during his career, disappeared in playoff games. Dee Ford will be cast as a scapegoat, but the rest of the defense was just as culpable. Chris Jones had NO tackles, and when he managed to touch Brady, was awarded the biggest bullshit roughing penalty of the season. Ford will most likely be our franchise tag player. Hopefully he’ll learn and grow.

4. If we go Little Mary Sunshine, what good was there? Well, I read a stat where the Pats roster guys had played in over 130 AFC Championship games between them. The Chiefs roster? ZERO. So, our 53 man squad all got to experience what it takes to win an AFC Championship game against a veteran team who’s been there, done that. We took them to OT. Mahomes did all this in his first year as a full starter. This is his first full tour of duty, and he lost the Super Bowl by a coin toss. At 23 barring injury, he’ll be ruling the AFC West for a long time. Butt Kicker was money in bad weather. He’s also young and could be our kicker for many years. Those are all very good things.

3. Who do you fear in the AFC West? Oakland. Nope, they’re a train wreck. Denver? Nope, not until they get a QB and their defense is aging fast. Bolts? Phyllis will be eligible for a senior discount at Denny’s very soon. If we can get a defense, we could be the next Patriots. The spotlight now turns to GM Veatch. His Speaks draft looks like a disappointment. We got bupkis from Speaks and T-Pass this year. On this draft, he better pick ALL defense. We need two corners, a safety who can help in run support, a middle line backer who can thump, and more depth at the other linebacker positions as well. Looks like our pick with the Rams on the Peters trade won’t be all that, because the Rams will be at the end of the draft this year. They must dump Sutton, and get a defensive minded guy in here who can do better than giving up over 500 yards and 37 points at home in an AFC Championship game. Tick tock, tick tock…

2. So today I have that too familiar feeling that I’ve lived with my whole adult life. No Super Bowl for Kansas City again this year. Oh well, maybe we’ll be this close again 25 years from now. I’ll be 84 years old then. I probably won’t give a flip by that point. I may not even remember who the Chiefs are or why I should care. But if you remember after the second Bolts game, I said in the Ten Things that the Chiefs would not go to the Super Bowl this year, because they can’t stop the run, and they can’t get good teams off the field on third down. That’s exactly what happened, and so here we are. Am I crushed? No, actually I’m strangely satisfied with how everything went down this year. We made it to the final four. We got the home playoff loss monkey off our backs last week. We got an AFC title game at Arrowhead and took the greatest NFL dynasty team of the last 20 years into overtime with a rookie QB. They fought like Hell, didn’t embarrass the city, and came up a bit short. I can live with that.

1. Many have said the Royals equivalent to this year was 2014 when Alex Gordon stood 90 feet away from tying Game Seven at Kauffman. The Royals came up short in an improbable season. Then in 2015 they came back with a vengeance and crushed it. I have a good feeling that if Veatch can fix this defense, or at least improve it from being worst to mid pack, we can make this whole thing work. Chiefs were worst in the league in penalties. That goes to coaching, and Andy Reid is responsible for fixing that. Both championship games went to overtime. Both big market teams won with help from the zebras making calls or non-calls to steer the games during critical moments. Take that as you will. The NFL got a Los Angeles team into the Super Bowl with a mega-billion dollar stadium under construction that they seriously need to succeed. Remember, the NFL owes you a football exhibition for entertainment purposes only. Were you entertained? Because…… Chiefs.

At least the Lamar Hunt trophy got to visit Kansas City for the first time. Maybe one will live here someday. Have a great off season, and thanks for all the kind comments over the past season about the Ten Things. Maybe Next Year. Maybe Next Year.

You really have to give them credit for their creativity in setting new levels of futility over the years. When I see stats like these, all I can do is the French finger kiss and say "Tres Bien! C'est Formidable!!"

A couple points I might mention.

Andy Deferring after winning the coin toss made me go crazy. Mahomes is human and was obviously nervous in the 1st half after having to sit on the bench and watch Brady.
Belichick did exactly the same thing he did against the Chargers the week before on that first drive. Belichick won that toss and took the ball, Andy should have done the same thing IMO.

2) Andy calling a time out at the end of the first half when Brady still had the ball. I agree with it with any other QB, but not with Brady. He then took them down for their second score. I would imagine they would have just run the clock out if it wasn't for Andy's TO.
I like deferring. It gives you the opportunity to play the 2nd right and double up on scores without the other team even getting a chance on offense. It worked a lot for us this year. It just didn't yesterday.

I go to games to get away from Political Stuff, you stupid shithead!

The cop that made the tackle had pretty good breakaway speed. Bring him in for a look in St. Joe next July. He tackled much better than Ron Parker.

BTW: Did any of you notice all the Jackson County Sheriffs trotted down the sidelines at around the 2 minute warning when the Chiefs were up by four? They were there to keep the fans from running on the field. The other telling thing was, when we lost the coin toss for OT, they all went back up the tunnel and left before the ball was kicked off. They all knew it was Sutton Death Overtime.
That one cop totally fell down before even getting anywhere.

I was surprised when the old man reversed field and got away for a minute, he showed a little burst

Thank you for another excellent season of insight and reflection, Mr blowfish

As for this house, I'm grateful to have watched such masterful play from our first homegrown world beater and couldn't be more excited about our future... fix this defense, toughen the O line, and strap in

Now the rest of the story....the Pats were cheating and the probably-paid-off official turned a blind eye (see attached). A clear violation of Section 19, Article 2 of the NFL rule book.

PLAYER ON LINE
Article 2 A Player of Team A is on his line:
(a) when his shoulders face Team B’s goal line, and
(b) if he is the snapper, no part of his body is beyond the line at the snap,
(c) if he is a non-snapper, his helmet must break the vertical plane that passes through the belt line of the snapper.

I'm going to respond in this thread just like I did in the other one, which you've obviously ignored...


If they had called illegal formation and offsides the penalties would offset. Still no play. No game sealing interception.

I'll respond to you, again, that we know.

But what did it not being called offsetting cost us other than the Int that helped them and not us?

I won't even ask what seeing one but not the other from an official that's there to watch BOTH SIDES of the line might to suggest.

I know, I know, it's a hard job...

Good read George. Thank you.

I was 4 rows behind you and a few seats to the left I think. I'm pretty sure I saw you come in. My buddy does some business with Scoular and he managed to snag those tickets from those dudes. I'm really thankful to be there, even though our outcome was obviously ass. I hadn't seen Mahomes live and I needed to. Also, I think if I'd watched it at home with all the replay and stuff it would have been even more devastating getting to see the shit 14,000 times in instant replay.

Anyway, I must commend you for putting up with the colossal ****fest that is parking and getting out of there. I'm not sure I'd be good for that very often. Yuck.

I was surprised how old the dude with the sign was. You'd think he'd have grown out of it by then.

As far as the game goes, it was largely maddening. In the first half the OL was pure and utter garbage. They couldn't pick up anything. I don't know if that's on Mahomes or Morse, but I'm pretty sure it's a gameplanning issue. Credit to the coaching in the second half. They made the appropriate adjustments and did a nice job protecting him in the second.

I figured Belicheat would lean on the power run game because he did it against the Chargers successfully. You would think the staff would, I don't know, plan for that? Nope. Not the Chiefs. We have to adjust for that later. So they did, and finally started occasionally stopping the run. So Brady started needing to pass periodically.

At this point, Brady is an essentially Alex Smith with a far faster read. Brady's technique is tight and he isn't going to miss the short shit. He missed the longer throws. And really the ball in endzone was a good ball and the one to Gronk at the end was pretty easy, but a good ball. Other than that, everything else he threw was a remarkably easy pass. Which, credit to the Cheatriot game plan, it was top notch as always, and credit to Brady for the reads.

All that being said, you'd think Reid would be acutely aware of how to beat Alex, even if Brady is far faster on the reads. You beat Alex by sitting on the short throws. We've seen it. It works. So what do our DBs do? ****ing sprint to the first down marker so they don't get beat deep. Then the ball is on the receiver and it's a first. Watching that makes me want to kill kittens. If Brady's not so good arm beats you deep, so be it. He will not miss the short throws. So it's definitely give up a bunch of firsts and hope for a bad playcall from Cheatriot staff (LOL), or roll with potentially giving up a throw that is far less likely to be completed. That is criminally negligent coaching.

It was also painfully obvious that Brady could read whether our OL was playing the run or pass because he always had the right playcall. We could get guys back there, but he'd have handed it off. And if he was passing, our guys weren't making passrush moves and he had all day. I know it's hard to trick Brady, but damn it.

I was pretty proud of stopping the flea flicker and the 4th down stop. It seems like those plays always work and they're always back breakers.

Not to parrot Reid here, but there is a lot of blame to go around and most of it I see is on the staff. The offensive first half was criminal for a guy that is supposed to slate out the first drive ahead of time and be the best in the business. The D, yeah.

And then there is Dee Ford. He's had a bunch of them called on him this year, and I just don't ****ing get it. He's got to look at the ball to see when the snap is. I just don't get it.
