I’d have much rather lost to Buffalo since that was an exciting game wire to wire with both QBs playing to their potential.
This one we really had no business losing. The only consolation is that losing in the AFC title game keeps a pretty amazing streak going of at least playing for a SB spot for 4 years in a row.
The next few years will basically determine whether this dynasty looks more like the Patriots or the Packers over the last 10 years or so.
Yeah, I'm not a huge Chiefs fan at all but the game made me sick/upset. They played themselves out of the game.
I really think given the talent of Allen, Burrow, Herbert, Jackson, et al it will be very hard for the Chiefs to keep being the "team". As long as Mahomes is around of course they will have plenty of chances, but Josh Allen is going to get his at some point, Burrow has his chance in two weeks and more coming. I do hope though this make them even more hungry than last year's SB loss.
My legit biggest concern is keeping the defense up to date and Kelce's age will start to play a factor soon. I think the Chiefs have a few season to solve and keep solving problems, but to me how many rings Mahomes has will be directly related to the support cast they can give him. Of course that's obvious I just it sits in the back of my mind. Regardless, Mahomes is still electric, and even that second half and OT can't be held too much against him it's not like he literally a week ago pull the same set of miracles off, it just caught up to them.
