Chiefs/Colts Immediate Reaction

Are you kidding me. The D shut down the Indy Offense all game, and we couldn't take advantage. We had to take control of the game when we could, and we let it slip away. That was unacceptable. Maybe I should be happy that we hung with the Colts in Indy for 3 and half quarters, but I can't be the way that game happened. There are some major plays that shaped this game.


1. The Onside Kick: I like that call by Haley. Go for the ball, keep it out of mannings hands. It was just poor execution, no complaints.

2. The 4th Down Play: Its the first quarter, our D just made a goal line stand, and we just drove all the way down the field. So tell me why we wouldn't just take the 3, knowing our O isnt going to play like that all day? The 4th down stop gave Indys D a needed lift after that drive. 3 points left on the field.

3. The Mcgraw INT: Huge momentum swing, the Indy Offense couldn't get ANYTHING going and now we have the ball inside the Indy 30 but...

4. The Bowe TD Drop: This is the turning point of the game, the play after the INT we go for the kill shot. The corner doesn't have a clue where the ball is, the ball slips through Bowes hands in the endzone, incomplete. All the Arrowhead Nation has heard this offseason is how Bowe is getting much better by giving more effort and not dropping balls. Obviously, the preseason hype was not true. If you want to shed the label that you cannot catch a pass, than you need to MAKE BIG CATCHES! That would have won the game for the Chiefs no doubt about it. It would have been a knockout punch, and it would have felt great.

5. The Indy Touchdown: Game Over.

Hopefully, we can bounce back in Houston next weekend. But until then, the focus is going to be on D-Bowe to see if he can catch D-Ball.
