I started the winning game day thread the next week after we lost the Bills game last year
I'm here again to start a new beginning, to bring home that 3peat. If I win, I'll continue to start the threads until Clay is ready to bring them home. [Reply]

We lose most games where the most important play of the game doesn't go our way. [Reply]

Yeah, this isn't Madden. The season is a fucking grind and maybe the defense sleepwalks through a game against some shit NFC team.... yeah, they almost fucked around a bit too much and found out, but outside of feeling like I just wasted 3 hours watching that game, who cares. [Reply]

We made Bo Nix and Bryce Young look good several weeks apart. So yeah, it's a pattern. The secondary is struggling right now. The lack of sacks obviously doesn't help that. We continue to stop the run but it's not helping the secondary or pass rush for whatever reason.
People will bring up Watson's injury and that's fair, but we're probably the league's healthiest defense right now. I don't buy that excuse. Jones, Bolton, Reid, McDuffie all need to play better.
They have the personnel and the coaching so it's fixable. [Reply]

19 flags... 10 were on the Chiefs, but there was a 40 yard disparity in yardage.
They made it a fucking grind for sure, especially with all the early "there's holding on every call and we're fucking calling it" type of calls. [Reply]
