The Steelers punted one time this entire game and the Chiefs had 230 yards of offense, had no D or ST TDs, and yet still needed a two-pointer to tie. But instead of looking at the dozen times the Chiefs threaded the needle to avoid complete disaster, you complain about the result of a clear hold, even though the drive itself is in doubt of ever scoring if Conley doesn't lower his head into the range of a killshot on a pass he was going to drop anyway.
The Chiefs were an average team that got incredibly lucky with D and ST TDs this year, got a miracle banked FG, and had flukish RZ defense. Stop complaining about the refs and start looking at how the team can get better players.

As painful as it is, Hamas is right on the money.
This team needs to continue to raise the level of talent within the organization, particularly on the offense.
Alex Smith is not the answer at QB, so there is no point at continuing with him....Scoring 16 points in a playoff game at home is simply not acceptable in today's NFL.
The whole offense stunk. The play calling stunk. The execution sucked. The QB sucked. The dropped passes sucked.
The defense between the 20's sucked. The third down defense sucked.
It is a miracle that this game was even close...and that is what makes it that much more upsetting.
This team was the Texans with really good special teams. If this game had been in Pittsburgh it would have been 48-16.
