    We are not making a deep playoff run with these receivers. Nobody can track and catch a deep ball consistently. Still running wrong routes in December. Skyy is not going to battle for a contested ball. Teams double team Kelce knowing thee is not much help otherwise. Maybe Rice can continue to develop and prove me wrong.

      Again I want them to prove me wrong but I think we play one playoff game & watch the rest from home.

        Agreed. But thankfully the chiefs are in a good space next year for cap space and retention.

        This year may not get us a Super Bowl (tho even that is still possible) but Veach has at least made the tough decisions to keep us from being guaranteed to suck for the next few years.

        A good off season draft and trades and were very likely to come back better next year.

            Absolutely still possible. I’ve seen post season Mahomes, even if we don’t get the first seed I’m still taking the chiefs all the way.

    Poor officiating all around left a bad taste in the mouth there. Put a taint on the game for both sides AFAIC. All game long the Packers were wrestling, shoving, throwing guys to the ground after the whistle. Never even brought up, by refs, coaches, announcers. Not just a little, more like consistently.Watch the build up to Pacheco’s ejection, our guy had enough of it & fought back - ejected. No need to talk about the non-calls for PI. Pretty obvious to everyone not in stripes. In fact I’m surprised it was ever called at all because they were blatantly indifferent. I didn’t watch closely but I can’t believe as much blitzing as there was that there was almost no holding calls, something that’s usually called heavily. I can’t say we would’ve won or not except for the bad calls / no calls because they just ruined any chance to see what a fair game would be. There should straight up investigate the ref crew.

      Man our HC & QB got so much class. Everybody saw the same stuff we did, everyone wants to ask them about it, they roll off of it. I love Andy about Pacheco - got to have more composure, “even when they’re shoving his head in the dirt”. & Patrick saying he wouldn’t ever speak out about folks having fire cause that’s where their game comes from. We ain’t gonna get in trouble talking crap but we got our boys back, too.

        Yup love Andy and Pacheco, Andy had the right take. Pacheco will figure it out, no harm on him he played lights out tonight. We still got a good chance this year, and veach has left us in a great spot for next year.

    6 points in the first half, average <5 ppg in the second half all season. Statistically, we won’t win this one even if GB never score again. Sure hope the boys prove me wrong.

    Offense failed us on this one. Kelce looks old or like he has a nagging injury, which he also seemed to allude to a few times in his podcast. He is also probably distracted with all the popstar bullshit. Pacheco is an absolute beast but he can’t do everything by himself. The entire receivers group aren’t consistent enough to make clutch plays.

    There were some BS no calls and missed/ignored holding on several key pass rushes, but that isn’t the reason we lost. Offense had many opportunities and couldn’t put up points.

    The injuries really sucked and we will have to see about that impact down the stretch.

    I don’t see KC making great plays like they used to do in the past. I just see a lot of penalties, turnovers and incompletes.

      The underlying theme of the season has been a lack of discipline. There are for sure some spots on the roster we took a step back, but the lack of discipline has cost us games. We need a “bad cop” to balance Andy’s “good cop”

    That one stings. Pacheco and Rice and Kelce are going all out but this game is on Mahomes with the red zone sacks and that interception.
