Big Turk

Why? Those dudes they had when they were top 5 in defense multiple years and #1 at least once looked no different against the Chiefs than the defense from last night in the playoffs. They just need an average defense and they need to get more offensive playmakers.

Well, let's see what happens in the Eagles game because they do have an interior line that can do that.

Honestly starting to feel that way... Look at all the franchises around sports in the last 5-10 years that won it's first championship in franchise history or hadn't won in like 70+ years. It never seems like it's going to be our turn for whatever reason.

Ben Watson chimed in about the refs cheating for the Chiefs...and he would know something about that since he played on the Patriots...

That's what the regular season is for the refs tell us.

The thing that was irritating me the most is they kept spotting balls that clearly looked like first downs "just short" of the first down multiple times...not only Kincaid and then the Allen sneak on back to back plays, but throughout the game on other plays too.

Differing degrees tho...a tear when used in that context usually means a full tear

Honestly it's too bad that was not Ty Johnson going for the ball...he has the best ground catch game I have ever seen

Yeah, sure...he is just going to demand a trade out of here to go to the NFC.

Allen is going to get an extension which will lower his cap hit significantly. They will free up money with some other contract maneuvering.

We allowed 32 points to an average at best offense that hadn't scored more than 30 points all year long and whom we held to 21 earlier this year. Scored exactly 30 twice. One of those times was in OT against TB and the other time was against Carolina who was being talked about as the worst team in the NFL at the time. Not acceptable.

It really drives me up a wall our D holds the Chiefs down every year in the regular season to 20ish points and wins but then in the playoffs it's like we never saw them before and have no idea how to play defense against them. We will never win until we figure out how to play defense against them in the playoffs like we do in the regular season.

No excuses...the plays were there to be made and we didn't make them.

1) This is big boy football, we aren't the Raiders. That ball was catchable and it should have been caught. You want to win Super Bowls? Those are the plays that get made. David Tyree caught a ball on his helmet in the big moment. Kincaid dropped a ball right in his hands. 2) The miracle was that Allen even got the ball off to begin with since he had 3 unblocked rushers in his face and was throwing off his back foot falling away.

Who did you say choked?

Think you might want to rethink that.

Kincaid pulled a Charles Clay.

The dude is 35. Cut him a little slack.

They need big dudes that can push the pocket right into Mahomes face. That's how TB crushed them in the SB. The one sack by Phillips when he literally picked up and carried the guard back into Mahomes, he had no chance... Interior pocket pressure is more disruptive than anything else.

Never is against the Chiefs in the postseason. Even when it's the best D in the NFL. They better get dudes that can wreck the pocket from the interior, that's how TB destroyed them... Will be interesting to see if the Eagles can do it, they have one of the best interior DLines in the NFL.

NFC has it easy...almost all the elite QBs are in the AFC and the only one they got was a rookie this year and his team wasn't ready for primetime yet...and why would they be, they are coming off a 4-13 season. Washington should dominate that conference for years to come.

29 points should be enough against a team that struggled to score all year. Same sh!t every year in the playoffs against the Chiefs. Hold them down in the regular season to around 20ish points, playoffs we have zero answers for them. We cannot beat them if we can't figure out how to effectively play defense against them in the postseason.

Helps when there is only one elite QB in your entire conference and he was a rookie who has a team that wasn't ready to be in this game yet.

He did...his rookie year.
