Better to be lucky than good....
 

The Chiefs were lucky to beat the Jags. That's just plain and simple. A dropped INT on a Foles duck, dropped INT by the Chiefs in the end zone to prevent a Jax score, an iffy call that could have been ruled a TD but was ruled a fumble by Jax, wide WIDE open receivers missed by Bortles....

For the most part Jax outplayed KC on both sides of the ball. They ran all over our defense and had guys open deep all game long. The Chiefs made some key stops when they absolutely had too but they were lucky to walk away with a win this game.

Nick Foles is not better than Smith. So let's just end that talk now. He looked like a statue in the pocket, missed wide open guys for scores and didn't see open receivers. I know, no Ware, Maclin and eventually Kelce hurts. But you can tell his accuracy is not even close to what Smith's is. He did make a nice pass to Wilson for our 1 TD of the day.

All day long the Chiefs, particularly the defense played with their head in the clouds. Multiple penalties, terrible tackling and rather unimpressive coverage on special teams.

A win is a win is a win. I would rather be lucky than good but the fact is, we were not good today. We were lucky.

We established this already. A thread was necessary though.

Our luck will run out in the playoffs

We've been outgained 900-560 in our last two home games.

need to reverse that trend...

We have shown no sign on offense to turn this around so I highly doubt it

Let's list all the breaks that went the other way.

With that said we were lucky

i don't care much about that. There can be multiple reasons for that. If you're outgained like that but are still winning it usually means you are getting good starting field position, playing good defense and giving up garbage time yards.

I would like to see us not cut it so close in games we should be running away with. Against Bress I get it. Against Bortles I don't.

This isn't taking the place of Blowfish's 10 things is it?

That I disagree with. Our problem is stalling in the red zone.

Not unless you want it too. Not unless you want it too....

It worked for the Broncos last year...

Oh well...

Never apologize for any win.

God no.

This thread sucks.

/thread

No, that's your breath....

You do realize we had backups at QB, RB, TE for awhile and no WR1....We led the entire game and the jags had like 4-5 turnovers. That's not being outplayed on both sides of the ball.

Broncos won the super bowl after winning multiple games like this and they never had to deal with injuries in one game like this.

Pretty sure a lot people on here need to stfu and enjoy the win. We were fortunate to get a bad team at home when we had so many injuries and come out with a win.

All the Chiefs do is win, yet the same whiny ****s who bitched endlessly when they truly sucked still act like whiny ****s.

I there's a pattern here.

The Jags did more to beat the Jags then the Chiefs did to beat them that much is for sure

Yup why jags fans are screaming to get bradly fired dude has lost his team

Well, you could also chalk that up to some stupid play calling.

Sorry. We were lucky. These games happen. But you can't pretend we were good today because we really weren't. That doesn't mean we aren't a good team. Today though, we weren't very good. And if you listen to the players after the game, especially on defense, you will hear the same.

Kind of reminded me of the 2012 Chiefs

Did all they could to lose the game ALL they could

Everyone is actin like we should have won 63-0 with a second string Chiefs team in. Jags have talent on both sides of the ball. We won as we should have in a way that was expected for as banged up as we were.

A lot of it, yes. We go away with what gets us down the field too much. Too many cute plays, gadget plays or sideways plays.

**** off, Pete. That's complete bullshit.

The Chiefs won, fair and square, despite starting their 3rd & 4th string RB, their 2nd string LG, losing Maclin early, losing Kelce and starting a 2nd string QB.

That's not luck, dipshit.

Can we just say ware is the starter now Charles sadly is done the era is over

That doesn't mean it's "luck" you butt****ing moron.

Get outta here with that shit.

Sure but again most teams lose this game with a back up QB, RB, no WR1, and no Kelce for a good chunk of the game. What did you expect?

Our defense isn't that banged up. We got worked over on the ground and lucky Bortles missed guys that were so open down field they might as well have been on vacation.

Yeah, actually it does, you west coast, **** head...

That comment isn't about today's game, no reading, waste of space, hollywood loving douche nozzle :D

Yup both teams were poorly coached

And the one time he hit one of those open guys they dropped it on 4th down

Yay! The Jaguars got a shit ton of meaningless rushing yards.

Who won the game, dildo?

Forgot to mention the O-Line being banged up as well.

Dumb

Today was a fine example of why turnovers are absolute killers. People can ***** all they want about Smith's conservative play but the philosophy he brought here from Harbaugh is single handedly the most important reason this Chiefs team went from 2 wins to playoff contenders each year.

I didn't say we cheated...

It's like you're full of shit or something. I never said we didn't win. Just we weren't very good.

I agree. I think Charles is done. Though we will see what we got in him next year. If he is healthy he still has a spot on this team.

Good teams force turnovers. If anything Jacksonville is lucky this team is injury riddled or the game would've been over a lot sooner.

If we had Ware and Smith, I agree, it probably isn't even a game. Our defense however was worked over pretty good.

and the double move that caught Peters......

We easily would have been in the playoffs in that 2014 season had our defense not botch at least 10+ interceptions that could have been ours. That Oakland game where we lost was so damn frustrating. The ref did screw us awarding them a full set of downs on a very suspect PI call...but there were so many chances for us to put them away.

Good teams force turnovers and on offense they are ball hogs. People get all worked up about when we have to punt the ball and de-value the field position game we play. It's why we pay so much for our punter and why on 3rd down and long Smith isn't going to throw up a stupid pass and doesn't care to take a sack on our own 40 yard line.

As Harbaugh preached...every single drive should end with 1 of 3 types of kicks: punt, field goal, or a PAT.

Good enough to win.

Every game isn't going to be a blowout.

LMAO

Yeah, "worked over" so hard that they gave up 12 points.

LMAO

Why do you post this kind of shit?

You're right...our defense kicked ass today......happy ? :rolleyes:

Broncoesque win

I am happy the defense is opportunistic, but chances are that trend cannot last given the amount of yards the defense is surrendering.

One thing not talked about much is the absence of Mike DeVito along the D line. He was arguably the best run defender we had. I like how this young secondary plays, and the more second and third and longs you can give them the more opportunistic they become. Ivory gashed the Chiefs D, and often on 1st down. That needs cleaning up for certain.

Is this thread written in satire?

I don't know how many times they missed a tackle on Ivory but that's definitely something that is going to have to be worked on.

The Chiefs got the W today and yes that's great. But there is definitely a lot of things that will be addressed this week in practice.

George's 10 things will be difficult to write I'm sure and why we hasn't posted it just yet is my guess.

You should have started one.

Foles needs more weapons.

Every good team needs a lucky win or 2 during the year when everything goes to crap for whatever reason. A "lucky" win can be the difference between in/out of the playoffs or home field and a bye versus the long road through the playoffs. The Chiefs had a bad one at Houston but make up for it today. Another week to improve and keep working. Could've been a lot worse.

Let's just call it what it is. The Chiefs saw a horrible opponent and thought they would roll over. What they got was an inspired team ready to kick some butt.

Had this been the Raiders/Broncos, you would have seen more from our guys.

13-3. First round bye. We crush our way to the bowl...


It's hPoening.

We were outplayed.

But turnovers and key mistakes gave the game to the Chiefs.

****
No

LMAO

You've been "outplayed" for two year running.

That was sarcasm...sheesh, already

Where you been Pete? Feels like you aren't posting much anymore.

No.

The Chiefs have had some good games and some bad games, but it's rare when they win a game this ugly.

They generally play well enough in wins that they looked like the team that should have won.

They sucked big balls in this game.

If they weren't playing a hapless team, they would have lost, and should have lost this game.

watching the Denver Cheats v. the Oakland Convicts

Beside the steelers game this was easily our worse effort of the season
