Is this a rhetorical question?

I am definitely not laying this all on the refs. We were out coached in every phase of the game. But even with the shortcomings this team has with the idiot coaching staff, the boys played hard enough and well enough to win. With that being said, that 4th down play just about nailed our coffin. We were up by 1 and driving. We likely get at least a FG out of that drive if not a TD. Plus take time off the clock and rest our defense. And if we put up 7 points there, the entire outlook changes. The ref on our sideline blew the spot on Kincaid’s catch. Then the same ref and the one on the KC sideline didn’t flag Chris Jones for being way the hell Offside on the 4th down play. Hell he was already grabbing JA by the time he fully had the ball in his hands. And then obviously they all blew the spot. Sure, we had opportunities to still win it after that. But it’s always a different ballgame when you’re playing catch up than with the lead. Especially on the road in the playoffs. I’m even more pissed at McDermott for not blowing a gasket (which he obviously never does and is part of the reason why we’ll never win with him). Even if he gets flagged. I mean so what. We already lost all of the momentum. Try swinging it back our way by ripping them a new #######. It may even fire up our lackluster defense. It sure as hell would’ve given the stripes something to think about down the stretch. Rant over. This is another tough loss to swallow!! 😀

I was better until I saw how far Offside Chris Jones was on that 4th & 1 play!!

Very true... We probably STILL would've picked Elam

Side note from the same article from above.... In comments section of that article it was mentioned how KC traded up ahead of Beane to draft McDuffie and then we ended up with Elam. Our front office always getting bamboozled by KC

Not only that, but a toss sweep to the short side of the field, into a bunch formation, against a sideline to sideline defense

Very easy answer. McDermott

In all fairness, Vrabel never had a quarterback. You put JA on those teams and they would beat KC simply because of his defensive approach. I'd take Vrabel in a heartbeat over McDipshit.

Yeah, this one is definitely on Brady. I realize KC isn't using the "push" anymore because of Mahomes' injury a few years ago, but I absolutely guarantee that Andy Reid would have multiple variations. All KC did was put Chris Jones in the way and slant in that direction. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that you should probably try something else.

He's a one trick pony and his tricks are wearing out. Don't pay him

Definitely a defense heavy draft. Hamlin & Elam cannot be on this roster next year. Milano didn't look great since his return and Bernard wasn't anywhere near as good as he was last year. So maybe another LB? Most importantly, replace the entire D-Line. Need to get bigger and meaner. WR is a need but I'd argue that Brady is part of the problem. Need to figure out how to scheme these guys open. Sure, we don't have receivers that can separate as most teams, but aside from Worthy and his speed, what did KC have at receiver? And they are ALWAYS wide open.

Definitely not worse, but it definitely hurts more. Though, having the same defensive issues year in, year out and doing little to fix it isn't much different than missing the playoffs year in, year out.

Yep. He's supposed to be a defensive "guru" and his defenses have been absolutely brutal in the playoffs. You could argue that Beane is just as much to blame since the personnel on defense has been highly suspect every year. But McDipshit has a say in personnel too so....

Agreed. Not to mention the other teams with high end QB talent in the AFC. Gonna be tough to even get back to a championship game

Stupid post… this is on Brady. He was severely outcoached by Spagnuolo. Name me another QB that would’ve outperformed Josh tonight with the sh$t game plan he was given
