Ok, I started watching a few minutes before the half so I missed that.

All three games could have gone differently with one different outcome on one play. Three games isn't nearly a big enough sample size to conclude that one team is significantly better than the other.
Butker once again leaves critical points on the field in a huge game.
Chris Jones once again proving why he was worth every fucking dime of that bloated contract, doing absolute DICK in yet another huge game.
Steve Spagnuolo was unaware that backs can legally catch the football.
Kelce just gotta go down man. That extra half yard ain't necessary unless it's the goal line bro.
This defense was absolutely pathetic on the most critical plays. 3 guys in position to make the play, guy still converts for a first.
We've got cupcakes the rest of the way to get right, but if these guys continue to sleepwalk through football games, expect these games to be frustrating watches.

If Kelce doesn't fumble and I think we go get a TD and be up by 2 scores in the 4th.

Yeah this. The way our D was playing - our only chance to win was to keep running the ball and getting to 3rd down on every series and run it down to 30 seconds or less.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Veach has to be able to draft some guys who can turn into at least solid guys on the defensive line who can pressure the QB.
Andy will never do it but if Niang is healthy he needs to give h im a shot at RT. It's hard to imagine him being worse than Wylie. Otherwise, still looking at needing two OT's. Brown can drink some antifreeze and move on

After that, please explain to me how our top 10 defensive line just disappears for the entire game.
And third, how does our top 10 offensive line give up instant pressure against a 3 man rush.
Bonus points. Why did the the Chiefs go away from the run?
imo that game shouldn't have even been that close.
cinci should've had 10 more points minimum and if they needed it maybe another TD at the end for 17.
Without the missed catch and bad decision by Cinci to go for it on 4th and them being able to kill the clock easily at the end instead of scoring.. that would be 17 more points.....
