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]

Partially players but also on the coach. Why they continue to take the ball out of the end-zone on kickoffs is beyond me. Especially after two critical fumbles on returns.That is on coaches.
IF they score from time to time that is ok but to be backed up inside the 15 over half the time due to penalties or poor return is not part of a winning formula. [Reply]
Reid could fire Toub, bring in Bennie Thompson as ST coach. If a guy fields a punt on the three, or holds completely across the field from the play, Bennie will grab the offending player by the ear and pee on him. [Reply]

Sorry guys I know it gets old and you think the topic is incredulous but if you would step back and read these threads and comments season after season maybe you'd see why some are starting to compare the NFL to the WWE.
I fully believe that the NFL tries to manipulate certain games to an extent, but I think it's typically to prop up big markets or star players or to maintain the TV audience.
This was not a big market team with star power. The NFL is not propping up the Tennessee Titans.
You could argue that they were penalizing the hell out of KC in the first half to keep it close, but the penalties went the other way in the 2nd half. Plus, there were no controversial calls down the stretch. Officiating is not the reason for that finish. I mean, what are you arguing? That the FG snapper was paid off? That the ending sequence was somehow carefully planned and organized for maximum entertainment?
And if that kind of thing were happening, why would Mahomes be oblivious to it before yesterday? LOL. [Reply]

That shit Winchester did is literally a cuttable offense, you have one job, 1 and you what you did lost a game. [Reply]

This wasn't the case yesterday, but it has been in previeous games. Yesterday we had one penalty on special teams and we had good kick returns with Succop kicking it in play, i believe 3 of them out to the 30 or slightly better. [Reply]
