Loss still is bothersome but give it at a few more days and we'll be alright. Got the core still and got Brock. Who will only get better with that added Championship as experience.
Stay the course with the roster. Our guys had it this year. Besides the punt return error, our coach needs to take more accountability and find a way to make better decisions by doing the things that got you there in the first place. We need an OC to relieve pressure and duties. Kittle had to show up this game. KS needed to scheme our playmakers, they were so non-existent.
What’s wild is I was nowhere near as pissed as I thought I would be after the game. Which is totally different than how I was after the first Chiefs Super Bowl. I felt that 2019 team overachieved, and it was going to be tough to make another deep run with Jimmy as the qb. Apparently they felt the same way given the trade they made a year later.
After the game Sunday I was thinking about how fun it was going to games this year, the playoff comebacks, chopping it up regularly in here and with fans in other groups. It’s been a fun last few months even if it didn’t end how we all hoped it would.
This time around, it really seems like they have a culture in place. It feels like they expect to be back and expectations are back to what they once were and they aren’t going to screw it up like how they did at the end of the Harbaugh years. It almost feels like how I’m sure the Chiefs felt after losing that first AFC Championship game to the Patriots in overtime in 2019 As much as it sucks, there’s no shame in losing to the Chiefs. Mahomes and that organization have been that team that’s denied plenty of good teams a shot at the trophy.
There’s a path right back to the Super Bowl next year. The Lions, Cowboys, Rams, Eagles and Packers. All good teams. But none of them scream dominant powerhouse to me at all.
