Defense is playing as good as they're able.

Offense is playing to the level of lousy playcalling.

Perhaps more than 2 down linemen. The 2-5 formation is not working.

West

They have to figure out how to stop Bell and get some heat on Ben, adjustments Andy.

total fail for the O, aside from possession 1

defense should also be ashamed. PIT had to punt...? zero times?

... and **** the OL too.

Maybe Reid can script some plays for the second half

and West fumbles it

I expected KC to lose, but not look so uninspired. Other than the first scripted play this offense is atrocious. It was a given Bell was going to get his rushing yards, but the lack of a pass rush is inexcusable.

Well it's not like the D has the breath to yell!

That first one pissed me off, how the hell did a huge old linebacker meet Hill at the 10? Probably unrelated, but the mind wanders to all those interviews for Toub. I despise that practice during the playoffs.

105 yards rushing to our 20. That ain't good.

The song remains the same. This is what the Chiefs do, just good enough to give you hope then break your heart.

Good god.

Outside of first offensive drive, complete dumpster fire of a first half. They couldn't have played any worse if they tried.


It's a ****ing miracle they're still in this game!

You can borrow this word from me: Garbage.

We need to score some ****ing touchdowns

Only Todd Haley's dumb play calling for Pittsburgh in the Red Zone is keeping the Chiefs in this game.

Won't happen. And the "but the regular season was awesome and who are you gonna get better than Reid" crowd will have a field day

This is shaping up for another Chiefs ass-pull. They are getting their ass kicked in every phase, but are only down five. One play goes their way and they're ahead.

The Steelers should have put them away in the first half. They'll regret letting them hang around, as poorly as the Chiefs have played.

This

12-7 but it feels like 30-0....:facepalm:

Well, thank God the D is keeping the from scoring tds

If the offensive line can't run block and now they're giving up pressure every play, we're f'd. The D did what they do, bend but don't break and get a big turnover. But if they're forced to be out there for 90 plays, of course they're going to give it up.

And maybe you'll want to get the ball to the best TE in football?

Guys consider us to be down by one score a good thing

Yeah, pretty much how I feel. The season is a fun Hawaiian holiday that turns into the Bataan death march the moment we make it into the post-season.

This game is not out of reach by any means, but damn is the play-calling and execution a spoiled mush right now...

got some words for YOU, thread starter... PUT THIS SHIT RIGHT.... NAO!!!!

This is the kind of game the Chiefs will win in the end.


Hang in there.

It be funny if it weren't the Chiefs. I told myself that I wouldn't get upset and it's just a game. Well, it's worst than that: He's dead, Jim!

Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe it.

We got this.

That sinking feeling is starting to creep in.
Goddamnit...

We are not stopping Bell.....we need some TD drives...

I baldy wish I could see that happening. Maybe this will be the reverse of Tampa and Tenn and the Chiefs will be on fire 2nd half

This

I hope you are right.

This feels way too optimistic but I hope you are right.

Anyone here remember Spencer Ware? I used to love that dude when he played for us. What's he up to nowadays?

This is the key. The last time 7 points won a playoff game was probably during the Great Depression.

what a boring, Chiefsy way to lose in the playoffs.

Look at all the opportunities that the Steelers have wasted.


You're not going to win games playing that way.

LOL:

Time of Possession - 20:30 Steelers 9:30 Chiefs

At least Berry knows it's the play-offs

He retired, unfortunately.

We're not going to stop Bell. Our offense needs to step the **** up and score TD's while they keep settling for FG's.

Our defense is not gonna win this game. It's gonna be up to the offense.


We'll find out what Alex is really made of . . . . .

5 seems like a gift.

Outside that big hit on Leveon Bell...Berry has played pretty bad today in coverage. He should have never allowed Brown to get that pass with Houston chasing him.

If that has anything to do with it, Dave better un**** himself during the half

Yep get the ball down the field to Hill and Kelce.

Kelce and Maclin need more targets. Pittsburgh is determined to not let Hill beat them.

Can you prevent our oline from shit blocking and letting defenders get hands up even when they aren't pressing or rbs fumbling the ball or wrs dropping shit? Where the f@ck is maclin

Will Pitt even punt the ball today??

This offense better wake the **** up right the **** now.

Pittsburgh: 275 yards offense
Chiefs: 106 yards offense

I need to divorce myself from this game a bit or I'll really lose it. Time to step back and not be so invested. Keep watching, but not get so wrapped up.

Justin Houston covering AB

Jah Reid playing as an extra OL giving up the sack

I have no idea why either of those 2 plays even came in the stratosphere of gameplanning

Calm down bitches, I get it but damage was minimal and we have the ball after the half.

So tired of hearing that we cant run the ball. We can. We just need more than 4 ****ing first half carries.

No qb pressure = eliminated.

I agree.

One of these plays is gonna break wide open.

If the offense can't put up any points, is it going to matter?

Both sides of the ball need to step up in the second half.

If we don't come out and score a TD to start the half...this shit is over.

If the situations were reversed I'd be scared to death

run the ball 1st and second down. where is all the under center inside zone and counters they have been running the last six games??

We started on our 45 for the first drive, that opens things up. Our other drives have all been inside the 25, with one at the 10... The steelers have had excellent field position all night... We need to flip the field at some point.

The good news is that Tyreek gets the ball first to start the second half.

Sutton's defense has only stopped Brian Hoyer in 4 playoff games as the Chiefs defensive coordinator thus far.

Refs are letting Pittsburghs line false start on every play.

Once again why are any of you surprised? It is the same play calling and offense we have seen for better part of 16 games.

In the off season\draft this team needs to get a stud RB and middle LB to really be a legit contender.

I don't understand this.

It's like Ben has all ****ing day to throw.

I think sooner or later he is gonna break one.

I'm shocked to see people making the implication that the defense is to blame for this shit.

Hill - contributing
Wilson - contributing


Kelce - MIA
Maclin - MIA
Ware - MIA
Conley - MIA

Exactly.

The bad news is that our STs hasn't shown up tonight either.

I'll still hope for the best but I'm checked out emotionally at this point.

They're just better than us. It is what it is. If we don't lose tonight we'll lose next week.

Chiefs O looks like butt.

I think the plan is to not kick to him

And hold

I'll give Reid a chance to make adjustments. If this team continues to suck in the 2nd half then **** him.

Also would be nice to have our QB actually do something. The defense can't keep this team in the game when the QB shits the bed

Agreed. Even if the situation wasn't reversed I would be scared to death. I'm definitely scared right now.

We had one of the hottest offenses in football for the past few games and we're going back to this game management bullshit again. Horrible horrible playcalling on offense.

People blamed the offense when we lost 45-44.

The defense has actually kept us in the game. Without them we'd be dead. They certainly haven't played well though.
