Wow, 0-4 in the red zone . . . that's a killer. This game could have been ours.

The team held Mahones to 24 points imo.   The Chiefs stopped tying to score once they got into our 10 yard line.   If they'd needed to score...they would have scored.


Just like last year...we didn't get enough of a pass rush.    There were nice pockets around Mahone all game.    


We need to stop acting like the defense was good today.     It was OK.

I figured if we won today it would be by 3. If we lost it would be by 10. This game still had a different feel to it. The Chiefs handed you four turnovers today and we only cashed in 3 points on that. That's not on the defense.

The offense was supposed to be the strength of this team entering this year. I think the defense did more than enough today just like they did last Sunday. They played better than just "okay".

This Chiefs team had a 72 hour head start to prepare for this game, to get Jones resigned and Kelce rested. Our offense had no answers for Chris Jones. His 6 pressures, 1.5 sacks and Lawrence being pressured 25% of his total attempts today speaks volumes.

It says far more about our personnel challenges along the offensive line. Again, something most of us kept beating the drum for going back to last year and now it's officially opened up a can of worms because it's a game of he said, she said with the coaching staff.

Before the regular season kick off. It's announced Taylor is taking over play calling duties. Up until 14 points being scored in Q4 of last Sunday we were all sharpening our axes for him.

Now, after that game, Pederson said it was the case all along going back to last year. Yet, none of us appeared to know that. So, after today?

It's going to be an interesting and burning topic and as long as this offense continues to struggle we're all going to be that guy bored on his lunch break gambling a dollar here and a dollar there trying to guess which one of the two cups has the rock under it as the crackhead tries to move them around on us really fast.

Just like that last example? None of it makes any sense and somebody is full of [BLEEP] here.
