Literally the entire game thread was people complaining about the coaching decisions. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like we are a 4th down away from winning the Super Bowl vs being horrible, having awesome coaches vs getting schooled. It was one game, it shouldn't change how you feel or felt that drastically. I'm not a McD fan, but felt we did a solid job I felt and Babich is giving me some hope. Seeing us more in man was nice. We had some head scratching moments but all and all I'm happy with what we did. Especially in defending Hunt.

We have beat KC in the regular season 4 straight years and never beat KC in the playoffs. You can tell me how this time is different, but I really don't care. As I said, it was a great win. I'm happy as hell. But as far as parlaying that thought into something beyond that, no thanks.

Sure, you can do what you want and other people are free to tell you your jubilation is short sighted.

I disagree with the take and it's a forum so I thought that is what you do on forums, your word choice is cute

We beat KC in the regular season in 2021, 2022, 2023, and now 2024. So 4 straight years. They have this knack of turning it on more in the playoffs which isn't all that uncommon with dynasty level teams. That's not to say it wasn't a great win. We looked really good. But I just can't draw many conclusions about what that means for the future given our history. Having said that, I'm largely with you here. I think we CAN beat them in the playoffs. With that, I think people around here are going to think if we do our Super Bowl destiny is nearly guaranteed. That is where I think we will be in for a rude awakening. We have spent so much energy on beating KC and I don't even think KC is our biggest obstacle. We match up well with them. I never thought post 13 seconds we would have beat that Bengals team, at the peak of what they did and you can see around here people view that as a basic afterthought. We don't match up very well against Baltimore or Houston. Pittsburgh is a dangerous team with even average QB play. It is a very long path to the Super Bowl and if we have a chance to make that happen we can't treat one team as if it's our Super Bowl. That is my fear as we keep going.

And Mahomes has what, 28TD and 2INT? Where did this conversation about Burrow come from? The unbalance this place has from wins and losses is hilarious

Take a peak at the Divisional round or later, not that I really care about this conversation at the moment

I didn't realize that was the only game we played against them in the playoffs. You do realize Mahomes has 28 TD and 2 INT's in the Divisional and Championship rounds. Did you think we got his best today or that Bernard is going to turn him into a pumpkin come playoff time? It was a great win. Lets pump the breaks on rewriting history.

If Mahomes played like he does in the regular season vs us he would have never won a Super Bowl. Huge win, very happy, but shutting him down in the postseason is what we still need to do

Johnson seems to be featured a lot more vs KC as well. I imagine with the bye ahead they didn't feel the need to push it.

Wow, refs blew that one bad

4th down?

Several. We can’t allow field goal range too quick

They have two times outs and will play for a fast field goal. So possible onside kick and one more first down needed. Lot of game left.

Wow. All Josh

Not like they’re the best run defense in football. Gotta go for this.

Again, we need to end this on offense

Must have it

The game is in Allen’s hands. I gave him a lot of ***** last year on the last drive. He has to know anything less than a TD and it’s over

Patriots are the only other team that did that every time

We contained them statistically on defense which is why those two TD drives are a bit frustrating. They have been very efficient with what production we have allowed

He’s athletic. You can see that. He seems faster than Shakir, not as twitchy, physical or agile, but explosive as was advertised. He even gets the bye next week to get more healthy, Cooper as well.

Samuel is coming alive the last two week

Is 3 minutes not enough?

Just abusing our heavy pursuit
