You could see him telling him to put his helmet back on. What a joke.

Yeah this KC favoritism is getting bad. Doesn’t matter who they are playing

Picked up the flag for PI/took helmet off but no flag/missed blatant hands to the face. This is a real issue for the league’s credibility.

Yup.  I read his lips before the announcers said it, and I was stunned by that.

They only won this game, I must say because I went out in the shop, made fun of them when things were terrible, put up some insulation then came back inside just in time to see Cam with the pick6..
I'll forgive you all if you don't send me trainloads of your money.. I'd just spend it on useless crap anyway.

…and I thought Pittsburgh and New England got favorable calls. KC has them beat.

You think they’d be more aware after the joke that was the Detroit game

You only get credit for comebacks against Seattle when you go fishing.  BTW, they are our next opponent, so make sure you have plenty of bait this week, just in case!

[Joelist]

Incidentally we are now the THIRD worst rush defense in the NFL as opposed to THE worst. By YPC I think we're the worst still. Add in the explosive plays let up and the bad tackling and even with the big plays this defense has MAJOR issues. I'm just being realistic.

Or the Jets game where they weren’t going to let the golden boy and Mr Swift lose on national television.

Some things just never die, do they?

Without his penalty, the Chiefs would have made a fg? Chief, buddy, pal

If Bates didnt leave the middle of the field KC doesnt score the 2nd TD.  If Burrow made a great pass on every attempt we would have won.  Hurst missed a TD throw.  The punt was bad.  The refs could have called 10 penalties in the last 2 minutes on KC.

One play doesnt lose a game.  It is DUMB to say it does, it is even dumber to say cut a kid with Ossai's potential.  

It was a very childish and amateur comment.  Act like you have watched the NFL for more than just last year. C'mon man.

Mehhh 
Mostly agree - but, I still think we as a team have regressed in several key areas

1. Tight End position - not even close
2. Nick Scott - OMG! 
3. Perine vs C. Brown & Willliams - not even close
4. Boyd (who I love) seems to have taken a step back and Tee seems a little off this year

You can have him on your team. I can’t stand him. At that time I the game, the Bengals had the Chiefs stopped. It was going to overtime. He’s own teammate was enraged by what he did. I’m quite sure, he was not the only one. That was inexcusable.

You obviously have not been around ball and that is sad.  This is kind of embarrassing to even discuss.  Pratt apologized for his childish response.

I think with point 4, we may see those guys pick up once Burrow does. Takes two to tango and all that. Fingers crossed anyway.

Agree with 1-3, but I think those are overcomeable. I don't personally think those are what puts us out of Super Bowl contention. What's been putting us out is Joe Burrow's calf, but hopefully the corner is turned.
