I thought he played a pretty damn good game. A break here or there and he would have.

When they stalled out in the 3rd, I lost all hope.

I don't know why Shanahan stopped running the ball for those 3 drives. Purdy said they surprised them by switching to man to man after playing mostly zone early so I guess Shanahan thought he was going to be able to exploit one on one matchups but the OLine was barely hanging on in the pass rush and Chiefs DBs are really good. Should have just stuck with the run the ball, play action game plan. When he got back to it they started to move the ball again but unfortunately couldn't convert into TDs which left the door open for Mahomes.

With that first drive fumble and all the injuries, there were a lot of signs that it wasn't going to be their day.

My dad and I were prematurely celebrating the Chiefs seeming to unravel emotionally in the 2nd.

Some bad luck but a lot of missed opportunities. Greenlaw being out really hurt. Burks played ok at first but they feasted on him late in the game.

They had a real psychological edge in the first half, but they didn't maintain it. I'm now resigned to the Chiefs threepeating next year. Hopefully, something this offseason with change my outlook.

I don't think so. Half of Chiefs D are FAs. They can't keep that squad together and they don't even get close to the superbowl let alone win it without their D. Their one benefit is that no one is probably going to challenge them for the division so they will likely have a top 3 playoff spot again.

The AFC North is going to wild next year with Burrow coming back. All 4 teams are playoff caliber. Also, the Bills don't lose to the Chiefs this year if not for half their starting D being out. I think the Chiefs will probably be the fourth or fifth best team in AFC going into next year.
