Well put together.

Oh and I forgot to mention - the timeout before kicking an XP because they couldn't get the personnel right - they need to have a hard practice this week

Pacheco was better when you factor in the passing game 4 for 31 yards vs CEH 1 for 7.

Also - I don't know what to make of Chris Jones being at the game to watch - I feel like this level of petty is becoming other worldly.

Be a little more level headed and admit they both sucked. 7.8 vs 7 YPC in the passing game isn't a deciding factor in greatness.

There was no "bright spot" in the running game or passing game. The entire offense was a ****ing shit show tonight.

They only scored 14 on offense. Not that great by Detroit. Pretty good performance from the Chiefs defense. The game-deciding play was Toney’s butterfingers tip ball for a Pick 6.

Clyde's not going to **** you mate.

I thought Pacheco looked slow. Maybe the Lions DL is just a lot better than what the Chiefs were expecting?

Chiefs forgot how to run a QB sneak or a simple trap, or how to catch the ball. Basic football. It's on the coach, assistants and the OC .

I can't argue with the rest of it, but it was not humid and very comfortable out there tonight.

Another guy that really missed the offseason. I expect it to take time for him to get back to full speed and strength.

I better understand why the Patriots were more suspect in the early season now. All the extra games and events and attention eventually shows on the field.

Overall, I agree with the OP.

Basically it was a perfect storm of bad by the offense. None of the WRs could catch the ball consistently. Then Pat missed some open guys entirely, and threw a few inaccurate passes. And at least one that was just poorly timed. Then a few of the play calls were poor decisions.

The defense actually played better than I thought they would. Though, DET was rolling inside the 20 on that drive in the first half when they fumbled. Otherwise they would've probably scored another TD.

And DET could've run the ball a lot more than they did. Nnadi and Tershawn were getting their shit pushed in most of the game when DET ran it. On a couple of early drives, they were running it for 5-6 yards/carry, but then tried to pass several times in a row and ended up having to punt. Pretty sure they could've just run it 3-4 times and gotten those 1st downs. Bottom line, we need Chris Jones back in the middle of that DL.

It sucks KC lost, but it happens. Pat is human, and he can have a bad day. At least he got it out of his system in Week 1. The WRs . . . had a bad day as well. Guys weren't getting open, some ran bad routes, some didn't adjust to the ball very well. and it wasn't just the WRs. you know guys aren't getting open when Pat is our leading rusher at HT.

The OL's performance was spotty. Early they looked pretty good, but as the game went on, they had some odd gaffes, several of which resulted in TFLs.

anyway, no need to dwell; it was always going to take time for this WR room to get comfortable, not having Travis out there just exposed the issue. Better now, than 12 weeks from now.

I also think it's all fixable, just a matter of how long will it take.

Agree about McKinnon. Figured without Kelce, tonight would at least semi-feature McKinnon. What did he get, one touch? He was one of our biggest threats during the second half of the season last year.

2 tgts, 1 cth.



Here's a fun fact: Isiah Pacheco was our leading receiver with 4 catches on 4 tgts.

We were terrible, not much more to say than that I think. D had some moments of encouragement but the offense was abysmal against a Lions D I don't think is all that good.
