That would be my response. We’re a flawed team but that’s been the case every single season. And if you don’t acknowledge that, you have very short term memory. |

I don’t even enjoy gambling, the house eventually always wins. But I am seriously thinking about putting together a little fund and betting this specific strategy. Easy money! I’d want to go back and analyze whether Cheffers always ****s over the favored team or just the Chiefs. Or are there specific teams other than the Chiefs that Cheffers ****s over. Whatever it is, it seems intentional. Bet accordingly.

I've never not acknowledged this teams flaws. the thing is, a lot of the flaws have not gotten any better in years... I think personally the flaws this team are too much to reasonable expect a ring. Thats the 1st time I've thought or said this. |

Anyone else feel like this game was very vanilla and there wasn’t much creativity?
Andy seems to do this a lot with these games. Not wanting to give any tape for the playoffs |

Yes. With no other evidence, it seemed to me like they were playing a preseason game. I mean why else would this team play so poorly. it makes no sense to me.

Focus is a problem for this team against opponents who seem overmatched. There are some discipline issues like that, and like knowing your assignments on defense and executing, be it avoiding penalties or making tackles or sealing the edge… the defense is playing like a very young unit. We could certainly win a SB again. The ability is all there. Depends on execution. |

I agree with you but I also think it's reasonable to make the argument that this team hasn't beaten anyone lately to "prove" that they are for real in quite some time. Fraud might be extreme but it's not unreasonable to doubt they can beat good teams. If fraud isn't the most exact word for this, what would be? Our win vs SF they were banged up & reeling. I just think this team looks better in box scores and on paper than what is on the field. Not sure the best word for that, but I understand what people mean when they say the F word |

No. I mean, we had our running back throw back to our QB. I thought the game plan looked fine. We struggled with penalties and turnovers. That was game.

to your other points . the "greatness of mahomes" is indeed a thing but it's much easier to beat a shitty team like HOU when you rely on that then Buffalo etc That's the reason I think this is a dumb argument. using this game against HOU to make positive generalizations about the greatness of mahomes pulling us through rings hollow to me |

LOL..yep, one could say that every year. It just depends upon execution. Could have said that in 2003, after going 9-0, finishing 13-3 and not forcing a punt in the playoff game. Could have said that in 2013 after giving up a 21 pt lead to Indy in the second half. They just needed to 'execute'. it's so simple. I just wish the team thought of that.
