The Colts deserved the win

Sluggish.

That's the word I'd use to describe the Chiefs in the fourth quarter, culminating in the positively lackluster wedge attempt at the very end.

An anticlimactic waste of an incredible season.

they didnt deserve it.
the chiefs deserve it alot more! they pushed the whole season and turned their reputation and act around. We WILL get it next year. No one is going to stop us.

(you can tell i am ticked)
but i'm sure i'll get over it.
but the colts did not deserve it!
The 92 yard run by Dante proves we deserve it.

Can we say that about 40% of the players on the defensive side of the ball will lose their jobs...including the defensive coach? Anyhow, Eric Warfeild belongs in Arena Football.

If the Chiefs deserved to win, they would have stopped the Colts once! Doesn't it seem like the defense was mediocre at the start o the season? What happened to that?

Just one stop or not having the turn over and we would have one. Colts defence it just as bad.

I'm used to it.

Chiefs
Royals
Tigers
no hockey
being surrounded by KS college fans

Chiefs deserved a win my ass. The OFFENSE deserved a win. SPECIAL TEAMS deserved a win. The defense and GROB deserve the unemployment line. No team lets opponents consistently score 30+ points and advances to the Super Bowl.

But let's hear it for Dante, Holmes and DV. Three amazing accomplishments for each this season.

We're lucky the Chiefs didn't get any further because they would have been even more embarrassed in the Super Bowl or AFC Championship. If this is how the defense plays in a playoff game at home, imagine what would happen (has) somewhere else when the pressure is really on. It is really unwatchable to see that defense take the field knowing the other team is guaranteed to score.

not one freaking stop....you don't deserve anything when you do that.

8/11 3rd down conversations...

crowd was LOUD the entire game....ESPECIALLY after Dante's return? and what does the defense do? 12 men on the field on a 3rd and 11....nice freaking defense.

Well, the 12 man thing was more Manning's football smarts than KC's error. But I wholeheartedly agree.

It makes me sick to think of all those Chiefs fans at that game who traveled near and far to come see the Chiefs return to the Playoffs. They were men and women, young and old, wealthy and working class, all colors, all screaming their heads off for their Chiefs....their Chiefs.

And they were all royally let down by the most pitiful NFL defense in recent memory. I just cannot comprehend how a defense that was utterly worked up and down the field by Denver and Minnesota weeks ago could still be just as bad if not worse in a Playoff game at home. I know the Chiefs have some of the most loyal fans anywhere on the planet, but this has to hurt them a lot.

trailer...if Robinson's defense didn't call for 500 player switches per game....

ahh screw it, it was a fun year.

The Cheifs don't deserve a thing. The Cheifs got beat by the Cincinnati Bengals. I hear so much about KC being better than Cincy. Heads shoud've been rollin' down I-70 after that.[/quote]

fire why are you always opposing everyone? Do you want a fight or just to get attention? It is very annoying and doesnt earn you friends. Take it from someone who knows alot more about it.

Let's not let Vermeil totally off the hook here, gang :

1. He had the chance to can Robinson at the end of last season ( and SHOULD HAVE ) , but his loyalty got the best of him.

2. Kicking the ball deep - down 7 with 4 minutes to go - instead of going for an onside kick was dumb, dumb, dumb. Why would you expect the defense to stop Indy at this point when they hadn't done it yet all day?

Both defenses sucked! Neither one could've stopped the other teams offensive. If you really wanna know what costed us the game:

1. Johnny Morton's terrible hands at the 4 yard line when he dropped that first down catch which resulted in a Morten Anderson missed feild goal that wouldn't have helped anyway. Johnny needed that first down so we could have three more chances at the end zone before half-time. I think he has some of the worst hands in the league.

2. Priest Holmes rare fumble. The only other fumble he had this season was on a similar break-away run for big yardage.

If these two mistakes wouldn't have occured, we could've won the game by the score of 45 to 38.
