I meant mostly unforced fumbles exclusively lol

It’s absolutely insane…they get a gift like that every game

I just don’t see how that’s even excuses…take Chris jones away from the chiefs/take mahomes’ throwing elbow away and they have no shot at a Super Bowl.

I think you’re pretty close to the only one that thinks we are substantially worse than either of these teams. I’m sure there’s people that think we are not good enough to beat 3-4 teams of this quality in a row to win the Super Bowl. Especially considering we beat one of them this season. nfl playoffs is single elimination…takes luck and skill. Too much adversity this year. Qb playing hurt, gamechanging pass rusher hurt. Star corner slowly getting back to game speed, both starting safeties hurt (one played through a litany of injuries). Key defensive lineman hurt for the bengals game. Games moved last second, a player nearly dying on the field. It was a tough season but we’ll be back

Refs seem to really help out offensive lines the last few years. Just need to find some guys that are good enough to hold without it being super obvious 😂

We were snakebit this year with injuries and all kinds of things out of our control and still had a heck of a season. We’re gonna be right up there in the Super Bowl odds next year that are set by people that get payed to analyze the nfl lol I’d take their word over a patriots fan pretending to be a bills fan on a message board 😂

How is that a lie? Lol we are 2-1 against the chiefs at arrowhead in the last 3. Completely factual information.

It’s all matchups…at full ish strength I like our matchup with the chiefs. If that coin falls the other way a few years ago were 3-0 against the chiefs in arrowhead in the last 3. eagles might be the most complete roster in the nfl in the last few years. Every team is second rate to them on paper but it’s a one game playoff in the superbowl so who knows what would’ve happened chiefs don’t really have dynamic pass catchers outside of Kelce and their defense revolves around Chris jones entirely

I like the optimism but with a healthy von I still think we would’ve struggled with the eagles. Chiefs are a better matchup for us imo

Rousseau was great this season but he had 0 help after von went down. Cook averaged 5+ ypc which makes singletary expendable. Knox would be good if he didn’t have to block so much to account for a horrible offensive line. Elam had some great games down the stretch. I think the bitter end is clouding people’s judgement…not that I blame anyone 😂 I think people are still not really accounting for us being good and our first pick being in the late first every year rather than early/mid first

Recently? 😁 we’ve been saying that since the chiefs bills game last year lol

Snakebit season….three most important players to this defense either out or playing hurt. Safety depth was a huge issue no Daquan jones in that bengals game either I can’t blame people for seeing it as making excuses after that disappointing loss but over time maybe it will be viewed differently

Give us von back and their offensive linemen back and replace saffold with someone that can actually play football and it’s close imo our defensive scheme relies pretty heavily on good safety play and pressuring with 4 and the three most important players were hurt (poyer played through it). Our dline was dominant with von playing and then a switch flipped when he went down…it’s like it the chiefs lost chris jones. They’d be dead in the water I feel like we all knew it was over when we lost von but some of us like me lied to ourselves for awhile 😂

Most important position goes to us and it’s not even that close imo…eagles are without a doubt the more complete team though so I agree with the general point of your post still 😁 it is straight up mindboggling what josh was able to do with virtually no offensive line this season. Saffold was absolutely dreadful

I think we had a shot with von and one of hyde/poyer playing healthy this year so I like our chances next year. Gotta shore up the oline

Yea I keep hearing it was our coaching when we got straight up physically dominated in the trenches on both sides of the ball. The bengals could’ve told us what plays they were running and we still couldn’t have stopped them

Agree to disagree I guess…that’s not at all how I saw it and I’ve watched it like 20 times already lol this isn’t even an anti chiefs tirade I legitimately wanted them to win I think 😁 looked like a very light two hand shove about a step out of bounds and both guys just topple over. Not at all a takedown by any definition imo. A late hit by rule but burrow was frequently late hit if they were gonna call them that tight a penalty by the letter of the law of course though…I wouldn’t argue that maybe the problem is the other side of that coin in that we are so used to seeing questionable stuff being let go late in games

They give the defenders the benefit of the doubt when they pull up usually…it’s not always easy for those big guys to slow down. looked like he did to me but mahomes sold it like the defender steamrolled him. I don’t think they get that call without the flop but it’s technically a penalty

Biggest pet peeve in football is people portraying a football game as qb vs qb and nothing else matters lol it’s no surprise to see two of the best offensive lines in football in the superbowl

Haha I couldn’t care less about media narrative.. the opinion of any analyst that doesn’t know enough to understand the importance of pass blocking to a qb means absolutely nothing

There’s 10 other guys on offense lol and Allen has beat mahomes twice and did all he needed to to win last year. They’re all great with different strengths/weaknesses. you give that kc oline to burrow or Allen and they’d go absolutely wild

The push was light and one step out of bounds…they just tumbled for awhile. There was also an absolutely egregious hold on the chiefs on that play too…should’ve been offsetting at worst(for the bengals). Would’ve been an easy out for the refs handlin it that way

I’m no fan of Kelce but to his defense the bengals talked a ton of trash leading up to this one

Burrow is nowhere near as good as josh when pressured it seems…he’s not a slow guy but he seems real skittish. Throws lasers in a clean pocket though

Bengals blew that one…I don’t think the chiefs looked particularly well coached. Adeniji one on one against Chris jones on the biggest play of the game? Yikes
