Does anyone else find it a bit concerning

[Mecca]

That in multiple Super Bowls the Chiefs seem to come out extremely flat? They seem to really struggle to match the other teams energy level, especially early in these games. Last night they looked like they literally had no hype at all, like what is that?

[Hoover]

The ****ing crowd was 90% eagles fans.

Chiefs fans can't afford these back-to-back-back Super Bowl games.

If only a USAID program existed to help us create diversity of fan base at the Super Bowl

We got away with it in three of the games by getting hot in the second half and the other team doing some stupid things. Be glad that we're 3-2.

Not just the Super Bowls. In the amazing 2019 postseason as awesome as it was coming down from double digits every game, why in the world are we constantly down double digits in the postseason?

Second, NFC West is a DOG division, so to state how the "Rams" were able to put up over 20 like its nothing is another stupid statement.

Third, everyone knows the Oline needs to be addressed.

Fourth, Worth is a DOG now because he put up numbers during garbage time, and got a TD against the back ups? Shitttttttt.....

Fifth, Rice is coming back from an ACL, the majority of players coming back from these types of injurys NEVER have a good to great season, and are on record saying they don't feel the same the first year back, but ACTIVE players say otherwise to hype their salary/agents up.

Last I read Rice never tore his ACL, not sure if the injuries he did have are any better but this may not necessarily be the same as other players with ACL injuries.

Good question. Lack of urgency until they're tied or down. It's the same reason why they play so many close games.

Chiefs just ran into a more talented team, dude. They were all up.

Nah this a cop out. The offensive gameplan was terrible. The Eagles aren't that much better than the chiefs. Andy needed to jettison the script after the first two possessions. The run game needed to be part of the first half. We just let Philly pin their ears back all game.

Chiefs OL seems to get whipped by the NFC teams in the first half of these games. The biggest surprise is that the AFC teams haven't been able to do it for the most part.

I can assure you Sean Payton and Jim Harbaugh are already on the phone with the agents for every top notch front seven defender available in free agency trying to get them to come to the West and dethrone us.

Our division is going to be a goddamn gauntlet next year. This organization better be ready to respond, because as of right now we have been completely exposed.

[Sassy Squatch]

Going to be really annoyed if either of them land Parsons.

[Pogue]

Should’ve ran the ball more, was Pacheco injured? 3 carries and 7 yards isn’t going to help Mahomes or prevent the Eagles from teeing off on the pass rush.

[Chiefnj2]

It was a thorough beat down.
The offensive game plan sucked.
The OL couldn’t pass protect.
Mahomes got the yips.
Dropped balls when a semi accurate throw was made.
Run blocking had people running into each other.
The punter lacks any touch whatsoever.
The CBs lost in man coverage.
Rush D was pretty good, but the pass rush sucked.
Butker can’t even handle an onside kick we have LBs taking them.

[Rexx]

Offensively, it was just a poor performance all around.

It's not a surprise it's just how the AFC and NFC are constructed currently. The best 4 QBs are unquestionably in the AFC. We have seen it time and time again if you can only have one elite side of the ball, you want it to be offense with an elite QB. So everyone in the AFC is investing heavily in offense and just trying to get by on defense. In the NFC teams don't have to worry about a singular elite guy so they draft in a more balanced way. Just look at the last two drafts in the first and second round tells you all you need to know:

AFC - 21 defensive players (9 first rounders)
NFC - 37 defensive players (16 first rounders)

So it's not surprising the AFC can't do it, they don't invest enough capital to try and make it work.

[wannaGOback]

It is concerning but don’t try to sell this performance short.
This game was 34-0 on the 11th hour.

This team had 24 yards of offense 20 minutes into the game clock.

This was not any game. This was a game for immortality. The opportunity for any team to ever do this again is slim to none. It’s an inexcusable and irrefutable display of incompetency. I don’t care if the chiefs played 6-11 with no lineman in the game. It still doesn’t excuse the game plan and execution.

This team is not climbing the mountain again with Matt Nagy inside of it. Stop blaming HOF QB. He’s had about 60% of his career production level year to year since that man joined the team. It’s been awful to watch and we were purely lucky to win as many games as we did. Kidding ourselves of that adding a few players who won’t even be the best players in the league at said position will magically “fix” everything is naivety that will set us up for instant regression during the crucial and limited years of Mahomes prime.

Broncos have a very rich owner as well. They can play the aggressive void year game like the Eagles. Chiefs need to be willing to go down that path as well.

Dont think so, just tired. Mahomes was on the sideline sitting on the bench pre-game letting out big yawns.
