Just heard Fescoe talking about someone close to Andy that told him Andy was extremely distraught by this loss and knows he personally screwed up. This isn't just another loss. This affected Andy deeply.
I think we might see some changes going forward, especially in attention to late game situations.
The other thing I heard this morning from my source is that Mahomes was angry after the game yesterday. So angry that he was almost on the verge of tears. Going forward you might see more fire from Mahomes in leading this team and getting on others when shit goes south. Like Marino/Aikman type leadership. [Reply]

Oh I am TOTALLY sold on "idiot savant" at this point.

Hopefully Clays report is right and it causes a shake up in those categories.
"Hope" is all we have, and have had for 50 years, and so far Lady Hope has fucked us and pulled the football out from under us. And while all a fan can do is hope (perhaps fly a banner!!!), I'd 'hope' that Chunt does more than hope, because he's one of the few who can do more than hope.
And that's what bothers me, he's appears to be only slightly more concerned about winning than his father was. [Reply]

I sure hope it isn't true, but situations like this make me wonder. Then again, it would probably take a lot more than deactivating Pennel and limiting the snaps of a few players to ensure that the Titans take the lead w/ 30 seconds left and block the game-tying FG.
I will tell you what is suspect. We can put the game away if we convert 3rd and 2...…….Patrick Fucking Mahomes rolls right and...……slides? Losing yardage on the FG attempt to boot? WTF?!!! [Reply]

If anybody were on the take, it's that son of a bitch Winchester.
Longsnappers are the janitors of the NFL. They don't make jack relatively. [Reply]

He slid and stayed inbounds to force Tennessee to use another timeout. If he had thrown the ball out of bounds or an incomplete pass, clock stops, Tennessee has a timeout left.
The play call was crap. Could Mahomes had just knelt and had the same impact? Yes. If Mahomes had been completely healthy and not wearing a brace, he might have even made the 1st down. [Reply]

Agreed- probably beaten to death but the play call for me is the most infuriating part of the decision making. You're supposedly an offensive minded team- you have two plays to make two yards, if you get a first down the game is over and the defense doesn't have to step on the field.
I just think with an offense like ours, you have to put the game away and not give Tennesseea chance. It starts with the play call, run the ball on 3rd & 2 with the mindset that you're going to go for it on 4th down to end the game. [Reply]

But make no mistake, Patrick, Andy, and Clark are mad as hell! Well Patrick is at least probably unhappy...

Here's Andy having a temper tantrum on the bench while the defense he knows no names on is on the pitch for their 35th minute of the game. IN THE 3RD QUARTER!! He ate at the breakfast buffet before the game...
