Bullshit. The point isn’t to try to score with the chiefs, because all but 2 teams are gonna lose that game. The point is to slow the game down and make the chiefs grind it out with you and force them to play at your pace. The job of the offense and defense both is to keep it in reach and then finish strong. Offense kept it in reach by scoring with them, defense kept them in check most of the game, with the offense taking a lead late needing only one more stop on 4th and 9, and they give up a fucking bomb and completely blow it. As they have done time and time again, and again, and again.
One side of our team scored 3 TDs in arrowhead, kept mahomes off the field for huge chunks of time, and the other side had a lead to protect for just one more play and gave up damn near 40 yards on it.
After seeing this for 3 straight years how can you do anything but blame the defense at this point? I get it, you’re one of those people who wanna be overly objective and act as if a random first quarter drive that didn’t end in points is just as much to blame as 4th and 9, but that’s simply not true. If Mosley bats that ball it’s game over and both sides are to thank, but Mosley slipped and missed it and jimmy was trailing by a mile with a lead to protect, the defense takes the blame here. Just as they should have vs the bengals and Steelers last year, and the Christmas game vs the Steelers the year before.
