Not punting on 4th and 5 at midfield with 4 minutes remaining in the half before the Chiefs get the ball again after halftime was bad - especially with how great our defense has been playing.

We have the ball at the Chiefs goalline and don't run it once with ETN, or our esteemed short yardage back, and actually manage to lose yards and only come up with 3 points.

You don't win games against very good teams overthinking some of these playcalls and I hope this doesn't become an issue as the season progresses.

My thoughts exactly !!!   I honestly thought they were simply trying to draw them offsides on 4th and 5 and could not believe they actually snapped the ball.

Also, I thought Darrell Bevell was gone.  Anyone who doesn't run the ball up the middle on 1st and goal at the 1 with an elite RB and QB, both of which have demonstrated they can get 1 yard, it braindead and should go into the bonehead Hall of Fame along with Darrell Bevell.

.... another one, not taking a FG on 4th and 12.  Didn't understand that one as well as it totally deflated out defense on the ensuing KC drive.

I was so silently screaming at my TV. It made no sense. Much of what went on when offense was on the field made no sense. 

Trevor didn't look comfortable either. I don't know if it was that he had an off day or he was wondering WTH Pederson and Press Taylor were doing, like things just didn't make sense, but he didn't look his normal self. 

Hopefully whatever happened will get straightened out this week and we go to Texas with our heads on straight. I don't care if it should be a 'sure win' against them, if we play like we did yesterday it's going to be ugly. Actually, it will be embarrassing.
