Their roster is loaded, no doubt.

No, except CHIEFS!

We almost gave it up because of stupid mistakes. It's just Tompa made more than we did!

Going 3 and out after Brady threw us gifts, twice, was fucking dogshit. Think that's the difference between a blowout and this.

Fascinating.

All is well. We have survived the Wrath of Tom.

And yet I can't help wondering about the QB I leave behind.

There are always possibilities. Perhaps...I will return to this place again. pic.twitter.com/Po8pjaNfQj

And Hardman dropping a 90 yard TD

Reminds me of the Ravens game, where we had a big lead and the game became way closer than necessary. Our last score was with 7:00 left in the 3rd quarter. For an offense with so much talent, they go cold too often. But that's what happens when your offensive line is outmatched most games. Games will be closer than necessary.

I don't think the Refs were against us. I just think they want a close game.

Yup. If you ever listen to The Whistleblowers podcast, you’ll never look at sports the same way.

That said, we had every opportunity to put this away early. Fumble in the red zone that would have put us up 24-0. PM missing Hardman for a TD. Three straight incompletions inside the 10. Settling for a FG inside the 1.

Frustrating but a win is a win. We are just gonna have to get out to big leads and hope we have the ball in the end. This defense is nowhere near where it was at this time last year. Our d-line has been completely non existent lately.

That play and the sack/fumble both turned the game. If KC goes up 24, the game doesn't become close.

Like Keg said, the line was 3.5 and by stalling that last Chiefs drive, the game ended up at 3. Crazy stuff.

Did Brade shake Mahomes hand

In the case of this one, it's the refs. Tampa was guilty of holding on plenty of plays and rarely got called for it. Chiefs had about 3 holding calls in a row, just absurdly one-sided in how things were called down the stretch.
