Chiefs-Ravens
-
Offensive game!
-
Changed my mind after that last series
-
Crap!
defense was awful and it spite of that we had a chance. Fumble
-
Hope the coaches and players learn from this one. Should have been a W
-
Yep, gave one away.
-
Guys need to go back to the basics of tackling, canāt win in NFL with so many missed tackles.
-
I hope that this game does not come back to haunt Chiefs in January.
-
Could have won. Not āshouldā have won. That term only applies when you dominate the other team and lose because of a bad break. Giving up 253 yards rushing and over 460 yds overall = āshould have lostā.
It looked like KC had read too many of their news clippings.
-
That Chiefs Defense has a LONG way to go , you canāt give up that kind of yardage against good teams and expect to win
-
Chiefs got too conservative at the end. Mahomes is the best player in the league. If you lose because he doesnāt make a play, you live with it. If you lose because he handed the ball off, thatās a failure of coaching. But that has happened before with Andy Reid teams.
-
@justanotherfan Iām not arguing with you personally, but I donāt think Mahomes is the best player in the league. One of the most athletically gifted for sure. But the best player in the league doesnāt throw a dumbass Jr High interception while falling down (Yes, I know heās made plays like that before, but itās really dumb) and when the ball is hiked over his head you run back and fall on it - not pick it up and get an intentional grounding call to make things even worse.

Imagine playing for a field goal when you have the best QB in the world.

Ah I see you beat me to it, just saw. Heh.
-
Mahomes was not at the top of his game last night and deserves blame for that penalty and for the horrendous interception.
But if youāre the Chiefs, your best bet is still to let Mahomes make plays, not get conservative and just hope nobody screws up.
Baltimore won because they stayed aggressive and, rather than give the Chiefs another chance with a minute to go, gave the ball to Lamar Jackson and told him to go win it (and he did).
Jackson made mistakes too (pick six, interception on a pass into double coverage) but Baltimore stayed with their guy and stayed aggressive. KC got conservative, so Baltimore won.
-
@justanotherfan Thatās a pretty fair assessment, Mahomes has to always be aggressive. But thereās a fine line sometimes between aggressive and careless. I think he crossed that line last night. Hopefully heāll watch the tape ( I guess itās not ātapeā anymore, huh?) and learn from it. If the defense can shore things up, I think weāll be fine.
-
Chiefs! hold on to the ball!
-
What a pretty drive ! See what happens when you hang on to the ball ?
-
Reid needs to get this team play to its caliber
Cannot win games with so many TOs
-
KC has a lot of work to do. So much for some people who thought they would run the table maybe 1 loss. You canāt turn the ball over 4 times and expect to win a game - thatās 5 turnovers in the last two games
-
Big Red to the hospital after game, by ambulance. They think heās dehydrated
-
This was a frustrating game to watch
Despite high TOs KC was in it till the end
That big 4th down and 9 conversion by Chargers was a dagger but kudos to the coach for going for it.
Thatās the script to beat the Chiefs, be ultra aggressive against questionable D.
-
@AsadZ what do you think about Josh Gordon?
-
On paper this looks great as Chiefs need a WR of his caliber opposite Hill that can make plays but question remain on how well will he be able to contribute being away from football for over a year.
-
@AsadZ A bigger question is whether he actually can stay sober and out of trouble.
I saw this and my mind immediately went to wondering if this is Reid trying to save someone after his sonsā tragedies.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 What actually happened was all the blood rushed to his cheeks because of extreme embarrassment.
-
@mayjay hope that Veatch has done his homework
-
Big game on Sunday with huge playoff/seeding implications.
-
That was very painful,
-
Yup, all TOs and penalties are uncharacteristic of Chiefs under Reid. He has his work cut out.
-
Mahomes is forcing things. I realize that he almost has to since they have no D to speak of, but there has been no real offensive flow from week one - he, the offensive coordinator or both is and or are thinking too much. It might help if they ran the ball more.
-
The Chiefs donāt have it this year. Their Defense is horrible. They ranked next to last before last night , and gave up 436 total yards last night - - 4 more turnovers you just canāt do that. Now in last place two games behind. They got to get this turned around
-
Spagnola is obviously not cutting it.
-
Mahomes isnāt forcing it like he was at the beginning. Hill shouldāve caught 2! Those tipped passes
Mahomes is throwing short, in the dirt. That fumble on ko return. Freaking injuries! Running game is bad!
-
And the running game shouldnāt be bad. Iām starting to think that there might be a reason for Bienemy not getting any serious looks to be a head coach. Maybe after this season, renab one of the two OCs that we lost? That Spagnola needs to go, is a no-brainer.
-
I concur that Mahomes has forced more but I believe it is direct result of pressure to score on every possession as Chiefs D is pathetic. Chiefs D is absolutely miserable, too soft.
-
The reality is that teams know they just have to bend & not break against the Chiefs offense because they know we canāt stop them on the other end.
It is a strange turn of the tides that canāt happen without an epically bad defense. Weāve given up 29 points or worse every game so far. Last season we gave up 29 points or more only 4 times all season. With basically the exact same group on that side of the ball.
Ultimately, I think that weāve seen a little bit of a Superbowl hangover and some anomalies. Pat and the offense has turned the ball over at a rate that is unlikely to continue, and the defense has played at a level that is also probably far worse than they are actually capable of. If we see ourselves reduce turnovers and play just a bit better on defense this team will get on a roll again.
-
One of the worst defenses I have ever seen
-
@AsadZ overthinking things, instead of just letting it fly like he did before.
