The game wasn’t pretty, so we shouldn’t have expected the responses to be. When checking Twitter after the Kansas City Chiefs’ miserable performance all around in their 24 point loss to the Tennessee Titans, it was clear that there wasn’t a single aspect of the game to be positive about. Whether looking at coaching decisions or player execution, defensive performances or offensive mistakes, costly penalties or further turnovers, everyone in Chiefs Kingdom was rightly irate.
Even those closest to the team were completely frustrated on Sunday afternoon watching the roster they know and love playing such uninspired football. From a former team reporter to former players, the responses, well, they speak for themselves and we could not agree more.
I'll never turn on the #Chiefs because they are my team, but fuck, man.

Fuck.
It’s hard to explain how the Chiefs can be so good but also be a turnover machine this year. Have we ever seen an offense like this?

I’m really at a loss for what’s going on here. Great players, great coaches, great staff/organization. I just don’t get it #ChiefsKingdom.

That wasn’t pretty. Just take this L and move on. Praying for 15

For those tasked with covering the team, the feeling was the same. It’s miserable to have to watch a football team mail it in like they did on Sunday. It looked as if the Chiefs were content with just tanking this season for the sake of a complete rebuild, and it’s hard to believe that the expectations coming in were for a third consecutive trip to the Super Bowl.
take your pick on who to blame for all of this, but it's all awful and just got worse.

If you ever wondered what it's like to watch a team completely check out in real life, turn on the Chiefs game

Worst regular-season loss of the Mahomes era... 2 weeks after what was previously the worst regular-season era.

2021 isn't what we expected, nor what Reid/Veach were expecting. Some real honest self-assessment is going to be needed.
FINAL: Titans 27, Chiefs 3.

This is the Chiefs' worst lost in the Patrick Mahomes era. They lead the league with 17 turnovers. The Chiefs have lost to four AFC contenders in the Titans, Bills, Chargers & Ravens.
They are 3-4.
Given the Twitter reactions of those we’ve already seen, it shouldn’t surprise anyone to see the fans piling it on, too. And you can’t feel bad for the Chiefs in any way whatsoever. The coaches and players absolutely deserve to feel very, very uncomfortable answering questions for a team that cannot seem to find a single answer.
Somebody else please take this Super Bowl hangover thing from us, please.

I swear Andy gone say I got to do better that's on me and I'm gonna lose my shit

There aren’t any elite teams in the AFC this year so of course this is the year the Chiefs decided to puke all over their dicks
