Oh Chiefs Kingdom what a dark Sunday it is when you have the division lead and the No. 2 seed in the morning and suddenly by the end you are back in familiar No. 5.
Twitter has been a nasty place for Kansas City Chiefs fans on Sunday night. Blame is being placed in just about everyone’s lap but the biggest argument comes from Alex Smith blamers and Andy Reid blamers. In fact, avatars and screen names have been changed to reflect said argument. Go to twitter, you’ll see what I mean.
But here’s the truth and though it is just my opinion, it is also the most rational: Alex Smith and Andy Reid have both failed and saved the Chiefs since arriving in 2013. That’s it. Where would the Chiefs be in Denver without Smith and Reid? Losers most likely. Where would they be against Tampa Bay and Tennessee? Probably winners. We’ll never really know but Kansas City is eager for a Super Bowl and right now four straight winning seasons is just the 90s all over again.
Currently the Chiefs sit at 4-0 against the AFC West arguably the toughest division, and 2-2 against the AFC South, arguably the weakest. The defense is mentally tough but have been worn thin with injuries. The offense is talented but mentally weak. They consistently do dumb things in critical situations. It is NFL football at its most frustrating. To what identity do you hold?
