It was an awesome game, mostly a battle of wills and Defense that reminded me of Gladiators knashing their teeth at one another and there was losts of awesome special plays on the Broncos end! But, the very last second (one second left I shit you not) the Chiefs caught up and it went into overtime! Then the Broncos kicked and we all held our breaths. Nope. Then the Chiefs kicked and I couldn't beLieve what I saw! The dude kicked the ball into the POLE and it bounced inside!(emphasis is mine)
It was totally silent in the room until I started laughing hysterically as did we all! You can't.. Be mad at that! It was a damn great game!!!
The Broncos got Bronco'd by the Chiefs!
I dunno about that. I was quite put out with Kubiak (little Shanahan) and his pathetic coaching decisions. Punt returner muffs a punt and costs you 9 points? No problem. Just trot him out there and let him cost you excellent field position and a scoring opportunity. Then keep trotting him out there... Then there was the pathetic 62-yard OT FG attempt. We also can't forget his feeble "pound it 'til they're dead" (our RBs, not their defense) running game, behind a line that can't run-block. No one here will earn it this week so I move we grant Kubiak the "What were they thinking" award for week 11.
Kubiak had a decade to prove himself as a head coach in Houston and failed. The league has passed him by (like it did Shanahan) and he's too stubborn to see it. The defense is the only reason we're 7-4 instead of 4-7 and the only reason we won the Superbowl last year. Now were in for another round of the post-superbowl Shanahan era. 9-7 to 11-5, maybe squeaking into the playoffs as a wild card only to get bounced, one and done. Wash, rinse, repeat. Hopefully, Elway won't make the same mistake Bowlen made and stick with mediocrity for a decade before pulling the plug because of a long past Superbowl win.
