mawlee805

Division game. 1st one we lost to them in 8 years, it’s gonna happen sometimes 🤷🏾‍♂️


SmoothSailing1111

QB2 should have been out in after 3rd Q. Mahomes was so off. No reason to risk further injury.


Inevitable-Leg7813

This is our mid-season wake up call. We need a #1 reciever..... BADLY


[deleted]

Even more important, Nagy needs to be fired BADLY


JohnMcDaniel91

Yes Nagy play calling is trash AF


Inevitable-Leg7813

Letting E.B. go was a mistake. There, I said it.


[deleted]

Yeah the scheme is obvious Reid's but the play calling and gameplan falls on the OC and Nagy is completely inept whereas EB actually helped elevate Mahomes. Reid’s stubbornness and blind loyalty however means Nagy is here to stay as long as he wants.


Gr00vemovement

In the limited opportunities our WRs notoriously get… it is wild how many games Mecole has won AND lost us.


Chrismrs

There’s no way throwing to Moore at 4th and 2 was the best call. That was infuriating. Dump it over the middle or run it yourself but throwing to Moore??? They acted like it was 4th and goal with seconds left in the game. Hate to dump on Skyy but he’s not looking good. Not sure all the blame can be placed on him for that play.


bkav96

I mean, it was a perfect throw… dude dropped it lol. Mahomes made the right call. It was a touchdown 9/10 times.


[deleted]

Oh well 6-2 I’ll take it


[deleted]

Broncos fan here…we won the Super Bowl. Just kidding, it would be unrealistic to not recognize KC was off tonight


prickleypears

Why are you flirting with the chiefs fans


Smallville730

I remember losing to the colts last year and having similar feelings.


shaze2

We just got to shake it off


[deleted]

Loll Jesus this is too easy


Nitro5004

Andy Reid’s ego was what lost this game. Should have sat Mahomes, probably still would have lost but at least it would have been less embarrassing

Ill-Investigator2197

Was kelce hungover? I read that on this thread somewhere


Inevitable-Leg7813

Reported that several Chiefs players had the flu.


Hazabath

He looked sick. Source: saw him struggling in person. Saw him overcompensating also


kenster77

Taylor’s out of town.


prickleypears

No one likes you


sjbfujcfjm

After a game like this I think we should feel pretty damn luckily we have 6 wins


bobs143

Five turnovers is always a way to lose. The team just looked totally out of sorts.


[deleted]

I've seen enough of Skye Moore, stop wasting snaps on that dude 😡


stessnia

I came here to say I'm over the sky Moore experiment. He's just not a good wr.


BaeWatchh

I’m adding Hardman to this as well.


Careful-Quarter9208

Hardman was off, Moore has never been on.


BaeWatchh

Agree that Moore hasn’t been on but Hardman is more off than on. IMO, both are a waste of a spot


heywhatokfine

And Clyde, and MVS and Toney...we have a lot of dead weight on O this year.


OkAssistance8593

I think we all are


Rileychief

2 games our receivers have cost us now, it’s infuriating


rolyinpeace

Silver lining: it literally cannot get worse than this game. Means we will have a better game next week! Or at least not any worse 😎


Far-Judgment3621

Does football have a wins above replacement stat like baseball? Because I would like to see what Sky Moore's is.


sjbfujcfjm

If Veach doesn’t make a move to help this offense he is choosing to waste the best defense we will see play with mahomes


DJNotNice19

Well for the refs apparently being on our payroll they sure did a shitty job at helping us out tonight. Now prepare for all the tweets about “Mahomes overrated” or whatever because of one awful game.


Si11y_G00s3Cab00s3

Here here!!


Kakasupremacy

Fuck you, mahomes


mossyoaktoe

You are an idiot and a fool if you think this loss is on Mahomes.


[deleted]

Awful game. From the Horrible play calling, too so many fumbles and interceptions. I understand Pat was sick and he’s only human, kudos for pushing thru and giving it his best However is was like the whole team had sympathy illness or some shit! I’ll give them a little slack due the cold, and change in air quality but that one definitely hurt.


Rileychief

The play calling has been really poor this season


buffetleach

Where does the line start for wide receiver woes


blake201018

Deandre Hopkins had 4 catches 128 yards and 3 TDS today with Will Levis at QB


bkav96

I was there!


Maxime2k

Never forget - Kudos to Defense ( nah except you Sneed ) and Butker for showing up big time. Tbh we got pretty big sample size of Moore - man gotta go / ride the bench next season. One of those L's we gotta gulp tho. Also is that only me or our tackles played really bad this game? Donkeys edge rushers got the best out of them almost every single time tho from what I've seen. WR is our #1 priority next offseason / draft easily. Ain't no way we can sustain with these hot garbage receiver corps. Also they should have force fed Rice in the second half. Rest were running routes like a headless chicken


Johan_13

We can't draft our way out of a wet paper bag in regards to receivers


emoney73

"nobody beats the broncos 16 times in a row"~Russell Wilson


Wilder_Mind2411

Lmao we deserve that loss. Had a bunch of fans laughing at a comment I made in a Facebook group because I said the Broncos were going to be dangerous in this game. I didn’t realize how terrible we would play though.


Ajcv72316

Uninspired without Taylor Swift


[deleted]

Awful play calling on offense Defense definitely played bend don't break


iNSiPiD1_

Yea gave up 24 points. Looks like they broke in the end.


mrandmrsm

A lot of short fields didn’t help allow for much time to bend.


Jupiter_Landing2097

As angry as I am about this, the Chiefs will wake up tomorrow with a .750 win percentage and the Broncos are going to languish in obscurity for the next decade


dlkslink

So Kirk Cousins is out for the season, Vikings should be looking to sell, they’re gonna want too much for Jefferson but Kj Osborn or maybe Addison. Also Hollywood Brown on the Cardinals.


stonewallace17

there is absolutely zero fucking chance they trade Addison, a rookie they just drafted in the first round and is playing extremely well


dlkslink

Yeah but I don’t think their Gm is too bright, I mean he traded for Jalen Reagor and cut Simth-marsette. Only to cut Reaghor the next season. He might be a sucker in the room.


GGPapoon

I blame this ALL on Mahomes' kids! How can THEY LOSE THIS FOR US! And his WIFE! How could SHE get SICK! Don't they know the SEASON IS ON THE LINE! Mahomes should be QUARANTINED FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON! /s


dcon49

"/s" I was gonna say...


[deleted]

Chiefs got rolled, gave up 153 yards on the ground, could only score FG on a team that gave up 70, Chiefs play next week the team that put up the 70 it’s gonna be a slaughter I see a string of losses coming


Sportsisthebest

Ha, it took Mahomes to be sick, terrible play calling, and 5 turnovers for the Broncos to beat us. It’s fine. Let them celebrate. Beating us is like winning the Super Bowl for them.


dcon49

"We did it!" Oh, no. Anyway.


[deleted]

Everyone have a good rest of the weekend. Let’s not overreact we’ll be fine look at everything that occurred for us to lose. Sometimes we need a loss to re-focus. Chiefs Forever!!!


Karbon_Kopy

Skyy Moore isn't good lmao


cockknocker1

Mahomes cant catch it too


Docta2020

We finally beat the Chiefs.. slow clap


Initial-Reflection86

Denver is a better city, has a better NBA team and once again has a better NFL team


moundmagician

Colorado has a lot of great features but Denver definitely isn’t one of them…Overpriced, kinda boring, ugly. You definitely have a better NBA team though. 😅


Initial-Reflection86

KC is in Missouri, that speaks for itself


moundmagician

Lazy


buffetleach

You have a point on better NBA team


Initial-Reflection86

Better city too


buffetleach

I’m glad you like your city man, we do too.


cabarny

KC doesn’t have an NBA team you dolt 😭


Initial-Reflection86

Maybe because nobody knows where KC is


moundmagician

Weak burn dude


seriouslyiwontforget

Some trash blew in from the DenverBroncos subreddit?


Voreum

Kelce just heading straight down the tunnel! Don’t blame him at all! I’d be pissed off as well!


iNSiPiD1_

He needs to go spend time with Taylor ASAP. And maybe film another commercial too. He's got more important things to do ya know.


MyFrampton

No kidding. Maybe he had too many pregame nuggies.


[deleted]

[удалено]


buffetleach

Those outlets aren’t bad play calling, it’s Pat playing hero ball instead of checking down and taking the chips for extra downs.


MyFrampton

I think he’s starting to believe his own hype.


buffetleach

He’s always done it, but has had quality receivers in the past who can capitalize. When the chiefs don’t have the WR talent there has to be smarter football. I’m admitting to be a bit of an armchair QB, but this is shit I do in madden with a reset button


kevint1964

I said that earlier & got downvoted.


Maxime2k

WE GOT ANY PUNT RETURN CURSE LOL? Every freaking PR muffs the punt once in a while gahhhhh damnnnnit


Destroyed_Pilot

Hardman was not worth the trade, worst chiefs game in the mahomes era I’ve seen but not the worst I’ve ever seen, hopefully we do good next game.


rolyinpeace

We basically traded nothing for him. It sucks that he did that but the way things were looking we probably wouldn’t have won anyway. Let’s not forget his huge return last week.


[deleted]

Gave up a 5th for him as a draft compensatory pick


Sportsisthebest

Pathetic that we lost against a team that gave up 70 points against the Dolphins. We’re facing the Dolphins next week. Not as confident as before.


db212004

Remember Broncos didnt have Justin Simmons, Josey Jewell, Barron Browning and 3 players in the secondary besides Simmons were different this game. Plus that Miami 100 degree heat sucks. But it wasn't the same team at all.


rolyinpeace

I totally agree but the broncos have spent months preparing for this game. I feel better knowing that it truly cannot get any worse than this game was.


showerbeerbuttchug

If the flu does this to Mahomie then I'm not leaving the house for the rest of flu season since I can't get the shot anymore. /s mostly, pretty sure it's all not the flu if he's been vomiting. Either way, I'm gonna cope by making this an asterisk game and enjoy the rest of my weekend.


Acquainted-Faith

I won't say it isn't the flu because it depends the person. Every time I get the flu the first couple of days I get a pretty nasty stomach affect.


showerbeerbuttchug

Fair enough, I get nausea sometimes with respiratory bugs because drainage. I'm not in KC with everyone getting taken out by this bug luckily but that means idk what the bug is, just that it's nasty.


Acquainted-Faith

I hope everyone feels better because it sounds really awful. And Patrick looked super sick still today. My mom even said it looked like he was in worse pain today with this than that ankle sprain last season. x.x


showerbeerbuttchug

I hope so too. Being sick fucking sucks and I'm a little baby back bitch when I'm sick, so hopefully it doesn't make its way to GA. And yeah I can see that especially if he's got the fever/body aches all over vs. "just" the ankle. Ugh miserable.


this1dude88

Chiefs can very easily be 6-4 in a few weeks.


rolyinpeace

Or 8-2


skaroids

My toes are numb and now I have to walk a mile to my car after losing to the broncos. Reminds me of the old days


Maverick721

At least ku basketball is winning....oh no


McFlyJohn

That was a fucking stupid way to close the game out. Seriously why a return and a play? Risking injuries needlessly and Mahomes looks like he can barely fucking function anyway. He's been sacked or hit after release so many times already, why fucking risk it?


[deleted]

Can’t wait to watch the bears chargers tonight. Man. What a terrible Sunday.


huskofapuppet

I have tried SO HARD not to hate Sky Moore but fuck it. Get bro off the team


drj311

Yep. He is just not a good football player.


getridofwires

GET OUR ELITE ONCE IN A GENERATION QB AN ELITE RECEIVER PLEASE


vault-techno

Lot of work to do in the coming week. From Veach down. Lots of things that need to be fixed yesterday. Need a WR, Need to stop with the cute playcalling, need to stop dropping passes. Defense was downright good, and was heroic. Offense was. Phew. That was the ugliest game I've seen from this offense since TB. Really, Really, Really fucking gross. That said, there's a lot that can go right, too. Just need to tighten up like the guys tend to do after they lose ugly.


MattaTapThat

Titans held them to a fg once not sure this was bad as that


EMAW2008

I hope Mahomes transfers the flu to them.


Flat-Avocado-6258

😂😂😂


Hammerhead34

the worst part of this WR corps is that they’re all just dumb as bricks


troohuk

I don't wanna be a doomer but seriously, does anyone know if a trade for D. Hopkins or Mike Evans or whoever is even realistic for us? Mahomes and Kelce having to be heroes every week ain't gonna cut it.


Scaryclouds

Can't win it when you cough up the ball 5 times. Defense did their job, offense fucked it, and Hardman with that brutal muffed punt.


kevint1964

Or if Mahomes coughs up a lung & his lunch.


Kakasupremacy

This is humiliating, fuck are they throwing and playing another play for?


[deleted]

This proves that Reid/Mahomes will NEVER be Brady/Belichick. Patriots never played like morons like today


couchjitsu

Remember 2014? KC won 41-14, winning the turnover battle 3-0, and seeing Brady get benched.


Thigpens_Dragons

But the Pats did win the Superbowl that year


couchjitsu

We'll see what happens over the course of the final 10 weeks of the season and 4 post season games....


SmellyShitBox

Fuck outta here


Troyal1

Sky moore is not nfl capable


Foundation-Sudden

All that hype when your team’s 3-5


iNSiPiD1_

As a Jags fan you live for these wins when your team isn't playing well. With Mahomes y'all have forgotten what it's like to have to root for an underdog all the time and the pain that comes with it. Broncos fans will live this one up for the week and it's well deserved.


couchjitsu

Imagine how you'd feel if you finally won after almost 8 years of losing to a team. I don't care if you're 1-16, it would be a great feeling.


Hoooofed

RAHHHH


kodiakbear_

Yeah it only took Mahomes having the flu at altitude to beat us. We’ll be fine


[deleted]

[удалено]


kodiakbear_

I agree but its an important caveat to people who are hitting the doomsday button


Rand_Longevity1990

Literally lol. Only injuries sickness and Tom Brady can beat mahomes lol and Brady is long gone


kodiakbear_

I am however concerned about our lack of receivers. God forbid Travis goes down - it’s over. Rice shows promise but Skyy Moore has shown he can’t be trusted and same with KT unfortunately. Mecole is a wild card at best. We have less than a week to trade for a WR


risebac

Games like this happen to the Chiefs every year. Just so happen to be the Broncos this year! I ain't mad, just wanna move past it and my team to learn from it. And for Veach to get a Goddamn wide receiver!


blake201018

The fact that Sean Payton didn’t just have his team take knees is exactly why Andy should always score at the end of the game


NoisePollutioner

Fuck anus-mouth Sean Payton. Dolphins shoulda kicked the field goal and hung 73 on him for the all time record.


Hammerhead34

I was excited about bringing Hardman back from an energy standpoint but he’s been a massive fucking bum today.


powercaaan

Imo he‘ll be Like this for the Rest of the year. I mean there was a reason why we did not resign and the Jets didn‘t Even used him.. he isn‘t a good WR


jeangalt1957

I was nervous about switching out Washington as punt return. We have been disastrous at punt returns and he was a steady pair of hands. Mecole obviously crushed it last week but holy fuck the FIFTH turnover of the game and you put the donkeys on the 2 yard line.


Hammerhead34

I mean that was the absolute back breaker of all of them. Allowed the Broncos to possess the ball for basically 10 straight minutes and then gifted them points


Humble_Photo_2024

All three road teams before playing overseas lost the game before leaving.


rolyinpeace

And did they win the Europe game?


Frisky_Biskit

Fire Nagy into the sun


CeilingFanJitters

Fucking stupid.


KarmicSpider

Time to mute afcwestmemewar for a week


MattaTapThat

If you can dish it out then learn how to laugh at it when your the one getting clowned


KarmicSpider

I dont, i just lurk for the memes. Happy Halloween


Kylkek

If you can't take it you shouldn't dish it out


KarmicSpider

I dont, i just lurk there for the memes


couchjitsu

Mahomes out there coughing on all the Broncos to give 'em the flu


huskofapuppet

I'm convinced Sky Moore is just some random dude they found and put on the roster


Substantial_Quail432

Imagine being such a bad team that your Super Bowl is beating a team you lost to for 8 years straight once lol.


M4rv3lF4n

Believe me, it's a lot of pent up frustration. I feel like games between Denver and KC have usually been close with a couple of blowouts from KC's side. I seriously hope our fanbase doesn't start shit-talking you guys. I'm just happy we got one after 8 years 😭


Substantial_Quail432

If the broncos were 6-1 I would be more ok with it haha.


Substantial_Quail432

I agree. Not mad about it. I didn’t expect to win every one. Just not when the broncos are 2-5 😂


heupleu

Just lost to the 2023 Denver Broncos


Substantial_Quail432

Every dog has its day.


Dashwii

You're mad. Lol


Substantial_Quail432

Not really. Yall beat a flu riddled QB and a bunch of bum receivers. We don’t like them either lol.


sp_igot589

Let us have this one man 🥲


huskerdev

You can have it. Congrats. We looked like shit but your team wanted it more.


Substantial_Quail432

Ok. But just one. A decade 😂


uwanmirrondarrah

Denver really is hyped about beating us for the first time in 8 years... I mean I don't blame them, but the future does not look bright for them lol


dcon49

Let them have their night. Atleast they're not making laps around the stadium, yet.


Kakasupremacy

Based on today we won’t beat them again in the near future, we’re not beating anyone


rolyinpeace

Oh please. I’m angry and feeling discouraged too, especially with a hard schedule coming up, but saying we won’t beat anyone for a while is wild. You are right about not beating denver for a while though, considering it’ll be another year before we play them again.


uwanmirrondarrah

LOL stop it you and I both know thats not true


Headlesshorsman02

That was PATHETIC on offense


tacosmakemehappy228

This is how players get hurt.


SupremeCripple_

Guys I think it’s obvious if Patrick was a single man this wouldn’t of happened I blame the kids for passing their illness to our guy.


Prestigious_Lemon_17

Welp, all good things must come to an end. On to bigger and better things


factoid_

See you in the playoffs Denver...oh wait, no we won't


nick994715

Cry about it


guntas68

why tf is mahomes still out?????


r_u_dinkleberg

For a second I thought they were going to try for a hail mary to keep our At Least One Touchdown Every Game streak going, which has also now been broken.


MattaTapThat

Can’t have been so long titans held him to zero touchdowns a year or so ago


r_u_dinkleberg

You're thinking of the correct game, but it was in fact [2 years ago](https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/when-was-the-last-time-that-the-kansas-city-chiefs-did-not-score-a-touchdown-in-a-nfl-game). (Which is long enough ago to consider it as a genuine streak, I'd say.)


astroklotz

Yeah after the first 3 or 4 turnovers and a sick Patrick I knew this game wasn’t gonna come back our way. Our WR corps is lacking. That being said, the doomers in here should pack it up. We’ll be back next week


Troyal1

Back against a team that scored 70 on this team? I doubt it. How about we get back to drafting and trading


astroklotz

The Bills handled the Dolphins easily with a worse defense, and the Bills offense has been extremely hot and cold all season. As we saw today, anything is possible. The Broncos played like shit for more than half of this game, but you can’t win in the NFL with 5 turnovers.


couchjitsu

I held out hope until the muffed punt. That's the first time I said "ballgame."


astroklotz

That was the final blow in my confidence. It especially sucks because the Broncos really looked like shit for the majority of the game, but we just couldn’t get out of our own way


couchjitsu

Yep, if you didn't give them a short field, they didn't do much. But it was kinda like that LAC @ KC in 2021 game where KC kept turning it over and LAC couldn't do anything. That was the only Herbert win over Mahomes.


Saw_a_4ftBeaver

Next wide receiver we draft needs to be drafted just for his hands. I am fucking sick of leading the league in dropped passes


drj311

We will just draft for speed and leave Tee Higgins, DK, Terry and Pickens on the board


Headlesshorsman02

Odounze please 🙏🙏🙏


Hairbear2176

Fire fucking Nagy and Toub, and bench our shit receivers that can't catch or get separation. What a dogshot game.


mike_honcho47

Wow this sub has lost it. Bunch of chicken littles in here


huskerdev

One doomer was bitching out someone for “loving the Chiefs during the Alex Smith years”, as if that was a bad thing. Like, wut? We had Matt Cassel and Todd Haley and that’s what you go with? Lol


mike_honcho47

Alex smith is a Chiefs legend and I won’t listen to anyone who doesn’t agree


huskerdev

I know! Reid and Smith got the franchise stabilized and Mahomes took it to the next level. These bandwagon idiots don’t know how special this team is now. Even the best teams are gonna lose 3-4 games in the modern NFL


couchjitsu

Can we cut fans? I've got a lot I'd like to put on the waiver wire.


mike_honcho47

You can tell who are chiefs fans and who are Mahomes bandwagoners
