Do I dare start watching? Can my heart take it?

Von Miller literally just had a strip sack on Brady last weekend that helped the Rams win the game. We could have traded for him just the same as the Rams and maybe Mahomes doesnt slip away on all those third downs during the Chiefs first drive...

Special teams coach blew the call I bet and McDermott is pissed.

Bienemy doesn't do squat. Reid runs that offense.

I think there have been some rumblings about Morse retiring. Some dude talked to his uncle in an airport and he implied he wasn’t returning (can’t remember which thread, take with a grain of salt). I think he also takes care of his disabled brother in KC, which he might want to spend more time doing.

I have to think this was the game plan. Just poorly executed by undisciplined players.

All I'm seeing here is draft better. If Rousseau or Basham were better players and get the Chiefs off the field for one of their drives then we win.

The free agent DEs aren't looking very good. A bunch of dudes as old as Jerry. Chandler Jones maybe? He'll be expensive...

Kelce in particular could fall off quickly. He's 32 years old with a lot of miles. But with our luck, he'll probably be elite for another 8 years.

And protecting the boundaries when they had all of their timeouts! Just a total miscall (not to mention they called TO before, so they had time to think about it!)

McDermott and Daboll seem like good coaches that motivate their players and install good systems. Their play calling and gameday decisions are head scratching a lot. I'm just hoping it can improve, because other aspects of McDermott's coaching seems really good... I actually think it has improved some. They got outcoached way worse last year in the AFCCG.

I think you might be onto something here...hopefully Frazier to the Bears.

Morse is going to retire (I think), Feliciano is going to be cut. Williams I think will also be cut. He was signed to tackle money and got demoted to guard because he sucked. We will have to replace those people somehow...

McD made it sound like somebody screwed up something. I'm thinking Bass was supposed to do one of those high kickoffs just short of the endzone. We did those all year.

#1. Hughes and Addison were a step too slow and got way too far upfield the entire first half. Slightly faster, or slightly smarter and we probably get a big lead early. #2. Play calling got weird and conservative in the middle of the game leading to punts and 3-and-outs (which tired out the defense, screwing us late in the game) #3. Terrible defensive coaching/scheming lost us the game at the end. #4. Soft defensive holding allowed the Chiefs to turn 3 points into 7. Chiefs were holding and running illegal pick plays all game with no calls. I really didn't understand that call if they were going to let them play. I hope Daboll and Frazier are gone. Hopefully Buffalo is a destination for good coordinators due to our talent level.

Maybe he gets asked to do too much given the scheme, but he gets burned a lot. He seems to either choose the wrong gap, or be chasing down the ball carrier from behind on every big play the other team gets.

Not to mention scoring the go ahead TD twice in the final 2 minutes of the game! Bonkers!

Daboll is going to be another Nagy.

Exactly, the go ahead TD that Mahomes threw was just a basic crosser that Hill took to the house (on basically prevent defense). It wasn't anything special. Allen never seems to get those. It could be his vision, but also I think scheme.

Play calling was way too conservative considering we had a perfect game last week. The lull in the middle of the game was pretty much it. Also, aside from this game Daboll had pretty poor play calling all season. In the middle of the year we were having offensive line issues and he wouldn't adjust (see Jags game). It cost us several games. Maybe he is a good play designer, but he is not a good play caller. Even on the final 2 drives it was all Allen. Play calling was not good.

Starters that I think will be gone: - Mitch Morse (retire) - Feliciano (maybe, low dead cap) - Daryl Williams (maybe, low dead cap) - Cody Ford - Hughes (retire) - Addison - Star Lotulelei (retire) - Vernon Butler - Emmanuel Sanders - Cole Beasley or McKenzie (probably only keep one) - Mitch Trubisky - Zach Moss (will have to earn his job in training camp) It's a tall order to replace the above, I would also like to add: - Better depth CB than Wallace (probably not happening) - A replacement for Edmunds - Speed back mid-rounds, better than Breida - Pass rush from somewhere?! Who will replace Addison and Hughes? I have hope for Rousseau, but Epenesa seems like a bust and I don't know what to think about Basham (he's been a healthy scratch a lot of the year).

As long as you have a good QB, you are in a Superbowl window.

False start killed a drive that was 100% home field advantage. We need to beat whoever the equivalent of the Jags are next year...

They could have done that high short kickoff thing they've done all year, but I agree it really is on the defense.
