I really had to take a walk after this one. And I am normally not one to come on here and put a game on the refs,(in fact I don’t think I ever have done this) Most the time I am taking flack for putting it on Andy (and believe me I am going to get to him) . But like then I am just calling it like I see it. Did we play perfectly hell no but neither did the Colts. And despite all the mistakes we made we were in a real good position to win the game before the BS flag on Jones. The Bottom line is if Mahomes gets protected even Half as much as Ryan did from the refs we win that game. Sean Smith decided that game IMO. Call me bitter call me salty if you must but that’s just how I see it. You can’t refuse to protect one QB from a blatant facemask and then protect the other from freaking words in the 4th quarter of a close game that’s just freaking wrong IMO. And that’s how I feel! We can agree to disagree about that and that’s fine.

Offense was sluggish. O line was not good at all. Mahomes was running for his life way to often. I don’t think I have seen Orlando Brown have as bad as he was today. EB and Mahomes seem to have had some issues going into the half. Better get all of this stuff worked out real quick and not let it become an even bigger issue.

Defense Really played well. One of the biggest weakness of the Chiefs for a LONG time has been the run defense and I got to say they have been much better at that this year outside of a run here or there. If they keep playing like that we are going to have a real chance to get back to the super bowl.

Coaching gets a complete F from me today outside of Spags. That includes Dave Toub who normally has his unit ready to go. I don’t even mind the missed kicks hey there’s a reason the kicker didn’t have a job going into the season. But man they looked bad.

And now we get to Mr.Reid. He is known for having his teams ready if he has extra time but instead it was another slow start something that happens way to often. And REALLY you are going to trust going for it on 4th down with your FREAKING PUNTER. GREAT CHOICE ANDY. I don’t even mind going for it there because of the kicking situation but putting the freaking ball in your punters hands when you have 15?? Just a dumb choice.

This is a real frustrating one. Going to be hot about this one for a while. Now we just go to move on to be ready for next week. And hey at least the Chargers are getting smoked.

This game falls completely on Reid. Twice in a row we’ve seen this team come onto the field and act like the caffeine hasn’t kicked in yet.

The refs, while not being short of having “moments” (my favorite was watching Kelce’s reaction to the review of the extra point we somehow managed to get) IMHO were not the reason we lost this game. Yes Mahomes, did get a blatant facemask no-call, but right after he grabbed someone else’s facemask (also not called). In a perfect world, two flags would have been thrown. As much as I don’t blame Chris Jones for being mad, sometimes the best thing to do is just head back to the huddle and take it out on the other team the next snap.
