Chiefs at Giants - Week 11 - Record: 6-4

I can't deny it. I know you can't deny it, but we all keep ourselves composed and don't say anything out of respect or whatever nice form of behavior we want to display.

But really, we all can't deny it.

Oh how wonderful it will be when the Chiefs are piloted by a true drafted and developed quarterback.

Oh how wonderful it will be when Pat Mahomes is in there.

This was a game we should have pummeled the opponent. Throughout the game they were showing stats about the Giants that had them 30th in the league in that, 31st in the league in that. Throughout the game the Giants were dropping passes left and right. They were playing a lot of new kids for those out with injuries. They looked like the Keystone Kops out there.

But they weren't as good at being the Keystone Kops as our offense was today.

We should've been up 35-6 at the half, but we were behind 6-3. Yeah. AREYOUKIDDINGME. It should've never even come close to there being a goofy 4th-&-6 pass completion allowing the Giants to kick the game-winner in overtime. YOUHAVEGOTTOBEKIDDINGME.

Until he did decently to get us into field goal range to tie it in regulation, Alex Smith was all over the place. Again again again he abjectly refuses to throw the ball down the field. On one play late in the 4th quarter when he did, he heaved the ball somewhere between Tyreek Hill and Demarcus Robinson, right into the hands of their guy. This play led to their go-ahead field goal making it 9-6. AREYOUSERIOUSLYKIDDINGME.

To be fair, it wasn't all his fault. Andy Reid helped by either being too cute or being too much the technician -- I wonder what is going on with him sometimes. Some games he manages the entire game not to lose. This game was just atrocious, how can you be this good and not take care of business? Even when we do win, have you noticed how it looks like it is so hard for us to use this marvelous talent to take care of business?

I also can't neglect to mention our continued weak offensive line play. The fact that we are penalized too much, a lot of it on this O-line, means our offense is just plain inept right now. Kareem Hunt showed some of his brilliance today, but far too often he could not get untracked like he could. Anyone can tell that watching Hunt slice and dice the field that he'd have 200 yards rushing a game if the line could actually open things up for him.

This was inexcusable. Last week this Giants team lost to the 0-9 49ers. They came into this game with a 1-8 record. Sure "any given Sunday." Sure they still have a dangerous Eli Manning.

But there was no excuse for this one. None whatsoever.

Yeah maybe this is a reverse 2015 when we were 1-5 then won 11 straight. This year we started 5-0, and since then we've gone 1-4. Since the rest of the AFC West is kind of sucking we may still eek out a division title when it's all said and done, but I really don't have any hope for this team right now. Yeah I can enjoy some nice things about our Chiefs in any game, but come playoffs time will we beat a loaded-with-got-it Steelers team or a loaded-for-a-standard-long-playoff run Patriots? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

We have so much talent yet we don't win football games.

This past three weeks reminds me of 2005, when we started 8-4, in the midst of thoroughly enjoying a wonderful season, in control of everything. Then we had two straight road games at Dallas and New York, just like this year, games we should have easily won and lost, just like this year. That year those losses really killed us -- we finished a fine 10-6 but missed the playoffs.

Since this whole year's blog philosophy is about the good things the Chiefs do this year, yeah, until we can seriously be considered Super Bowl material when Mahomes is on top of things, here are the players I like right now.

Reggie Ragland. He's the one guy who seems to have the most Ray-Lewis in him. Without Eric Berry we need guys like this to help in our relatively anemic run defense.

Steven Nelson. His coverage was excellent today. He made a couple of key plays late that kept us in it. He looked to be injured late, let's hope he's okay.

Tyreek Hill. I consider this guy the very best player we have. The plays he makes -- when they get him the ball, it is nothing but ::wow::

Dustin Colquitt. Yeah, have to put a good word in one of the best Chiefs ever, really. I know, the punter. But he is so good at pinning the other team way back really helping our defense. He did that a number of times today yet again.

Well, at least there was that.

So yeah, I'm done with this. I'm done with this for now.

I can't wait for 2019 when Pat Mahomes is in there as a drafted, developed, at-least-a-little-experienced-with-a-take-care-of-business-no-matter-what-approach game leader, and we can look like we want to win when we should.

I have a feeling I'm not the only one...
