    We outplayed the Chiefs yesterday

    Look, I know we lost, and it sucks - trying to look at as a positive. I'd say we were the better team for 80% of the game.

    Positive #1A, 1B, etc - we SHOULD have beat the Chiefs yesterday. We seemingly controlled the game and couldnt make the plays when necessary, along with turnovers at the most inopportune times. Whether or not you want to view this as a positive or a negative is obviously up to you, but Im gonna look at it as a positive - its not like we got outplayed, we simply made mistakes.

    Sometimes outplaying an opponent and losing stings more but Im choosing to say that on another day, we would have easily handled that team and I think that is a positive sign. Lets hope our fortunes turn and we DO make those plays Thursday night and crush the Fins.

    The Chiefs used our game plan from previous weeks: Hold on, get lucky breaks, and pull it out late.

        Sometimes you get those bounces (Detroit, Chicago, Jets, Miami) sometimes you don't. (KC)
        Sometimes when you do you still don't win. (Houston)
        Sometimes you just get outplayed all the way around. (SD, NE)
        Sometimes you win despite making numerous mistakes and overcome them. (Minnesota)

        You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.

        Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.

        The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.

            If we score a TD on the first drive in the second half (instead of turning it over) the Chiefs probably not only lose but get blown away. Having to rely on AS's arm with only Bowe to throw to with our D playing lights out and pinning their ears back spells turnovers for us (instead of them).
            A positive for me was the play of the O-line both in pass pro and in the run game. Not that it was great or consistent, but we had their front, a very good one, on the ropes at times with our RBs getting it done. Another positive is that after the gut wrenching Brown fumble we had another strong drive of the same power running variety, even tho we only got 3. Bouncing back like that after a momentum sucking disaster is a good sign.
            And let's not forget we were playing a solid, well balanced team that is very disciplined/well coached. I think they have the fewest penalties in the league. The Brown turnover was not just a lucky break for them. Parker is a playmaker. That's what he does.
            As for Orton, he was not at his best that's for sure. Had he been at the top of his game we would have won despite the turnovers. But neither was he responsible for the loss. All QBs, even the best, have their ups and downs. He's also got some good games and some big throws in that arm. Maybe Thursday night!

              This was the epitome of the statement "Kansas City didn't win, Buffalo lost."

              2 boneheaded fumbles completely changed the outcome of an otherwise easily won game.

                Second year in a row that we gift wrapped a win for them.

                That's what drives me nuts.

                  Our margin for error is small. Our O needs to capitalize on opportunites at a high percentage. They imploded at critical times instead.

                    I disagree. A win is the most important thing but not the only thing. If we had gotten beat 34-0 you'd feel the exact same way? No, people are pissed because we DID outplay them yet still didnt win. Frustrating, yes - a TINY bit of a positive? I think so.

                    Again, whether you choose to view it as such I dont care, but I do.
