Didn’t see this coming...

[multistage]

I’ve been proud of this team many times.

55-17 against St. Louis. Six TDS for Griese, bench clearing when Dobler threw a cheap shot on Den Herder....

Playoff loss to San Diego. To fight back from that deficit...

Steamrolled those same guys next season....

Whip the Bears, undefeated remains...

Countless other times...

But today was a good day. Hanging with KC with a decimated team ain’t too shabby....

But what REALLY makes me happy is that the fans (yeah, you bozos) are acting like fans.

No bitching, no moaning. All hands agree that we did the best we could do with what we have.

Oh yeah, and we hung with KC.

Sure look good in those uniforms, don’t we?

If we got the ball one last time within 6 I have no doubt we win.

IMO KC going for it on 4th and 1 tells me they would agree. Don’t get me wrong, it was the right call. They punt there and the final score is 31-30.

I was really bummed at 30-10.
Feel really good now.
We were DEPLETED at WR and RB and hung till that last few seconds.
Not too bad for Year 1 of Roster Rebuild.

Agreed.
KC probably feels like they escaped with the win.
Hats off to them, they are a well run and great team.
They can see we are rising and there will be some great games in the future to look forward to.

Well said, OP. I think deep down many of us feel we win this game if we are healthy. To turn KC over 4 times and get 3 picks on Mahomes is pretty awesome.

I almost turned the game off at 30-10. Glad I stuck it out even if we lost. X made a sweet one handed end zone INT for #9. We made it a one score game with 3 excellent 4th quarter drives.

The team showed a lot of resolve by staying in the game the way that they did.

That being said, the game also showed how far the talent gap remains (even without the injuries on the Fins). The Dolphins got 4 turnovers against the Chiefs and KC still did win rather comfortably. Without those turnovers, this game would have been a rout.

Flores does have this team balling and playing their best so the future is very bright.

My football coach in high school used to say, "what could have happened, did" . I was about ready to give up at 30-10 too. Clearly the team wasn't.
