The Nightmare, the Turnovers and the Season's Over

On the strip sack, I don’t blame Lamar there for throwing the ball. I am glad he didn’t run and I would take him throwing that ball 10/10 times. The reason is that’s an easy completion and a given. Yes, the run gets you a first and likely avoids the turnover in hindsight but no way would I want Lamar to run that ball. I think him trying to throw it is a good sign of his evolution to be honest and affirms he is not a running QB.

I think this entire season showed his progression as a QB. My thing is that Lamar and this offense did so well with taking what the Texans gave them in the 2nd half. Lamar was much more decisive in taking off with his legs to get the first down and more.

It was talked about for quite some time that the weakness of this Chiefs defense was the rush D. I just felt that if we continued where we left off with the 2nd half of the Texans game, there would've been more opportunities for plays down the field. Oh well.

I seen the all 22, it was actually not that bad of a throw, if likely didn’t get pi he would’ve at least prevented an int

And 35 has his hands all over Beckham.

It's just crazy to me cause Marlon never gets away with this type of shit

Fucking sucks were here talking about this bullshit in a game we know we should have had. Half assed game plan and execution. To lose like this is filthy.

Yep it’s horrible, I’m not sure if I can watch the super bowl. Hopefully the 49ers just play a flawless perfect game and I can maybe think we would not have beat them or something

Regretably, I think Monken outcoached Monken

Now I don’t want to trigger anyone…..

But from a non emotional fan of another team it appeared the majority of this loss falls on the head coach. Offensively not running the ball was surprising. It’s what you do. In the game plan meetings it should have been the focus. Make us stop what you do best. Sometimes these coaches think they are going to trick the opposing team by changing their trends. We defend the pass and pressure. He played to our strengths instead of making us play to yours. If Harbaugh signed off on that it’s his fault. If he didn’t he’s simply negligent.

Look like to me the chiefs defense was stacking the box to defend against the run and trusting their cornerbacks to handle the ravens receivers afterwards . Some people think it was a mistake for Monken to not stick with the run game but I understand him trusting that his offense has the receivers to make plays that would eventually lead to the chiefs defense to change their point of attack which would have most likely open up room for the run game .I don't like playing the if game but if Zay Flowers fumble doesn't happen and if he doesn't get penalizes for taunting then I don't know if the chiefs stick to their plan of just stacking the box and etc. It's just simple the offense didn't do enough in the passing game to scare the chiefs defense when it mattered and it wasn't like they couldn't it's just that things didn't go in their favor.
 
Overall everyone seems to be confused as to what we were doing offensively.

Seems like the blame is on Jackson mostly and then this teammates.

John has a great job (except for Rex Ryan, he has been calling him out for this game)

Think about it though. Let's say it was Lamar telling them what he wants.

So if you are John and Monken, you just let him? After seeing it not work for a few quarters?

Yea I dont need John here if and ONLY if this was the case

This is kinda where I'm at. The Chiefs have a top defense, a top DC, and it was always going to be tough whatever we tried to do. We weren't going to be able to run it down their throats and walk over them. While we all wish they would have have run more, as you mentioned it was going to be the pass that set up the run game. And I always thought the path to victory was going to be through the air as it seemed Lamar and the receivers were ready to roll. That and LJ taking off running when he was able were our strengths moving forward through the tournament, but sadly they shit the bed.

We need to stop turning the ball over at the 1 yard line in playoff games
