Everyone watching this game, besides Andy Reid, saw it that way.

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.
I don't see how you can blame Butker for missing the 55 yard fg. If anyone, blame Reid for not going for it instead of opting for that low percentage kick..

What the **** do we do about our defense though. Bengals are good but there is zero excuse not to get to burrow. And they’ll have mixon back next week. Please tell me we are not resting our hopes on josh Williams doing better next time against a healthier chase.
The defense has been worse than the offense but the reality is the Chiefs had the ball in OT last year with a chance to send us to the Super Bowl and they failed. Then tonight they had a chance to go up double digits and they turned the ball over. We've played these guys 3 times now and the offense has not been able to score and give us a lead in the 4th quarter or OT in any of them.

Maybe. Or they stop us and we kick a FG and go up by 7 and they get the ball back and tie it. Who knows? I do know that we just can't get to Burrow with our D-Line, and THAT is a huge problem.

They better not sleep on Divisional games. The Raiders are getting healthy and the Bronco's O isn't doing shit, but their D has been battling ERRYBODY.
Won't cost us the division, but will ding out Playoff slotting.

Yes it is. Especially when the same problems keep occuring.
