I was in the hospital watching that game. So happy in the first half, so sad in the second. It was reminiscent of the "Moon" collapse in Buffalo.
That early lead was misleading. Chiefs had 1 blown coverage leading to a TD. Then a blocked punt and a muffed punt return, all leading to 14 points. At the same time, chiefs just dropped passes that would have extended drives. Chiefs being the obviously better team just hurt themselves all 1st quarter. Once they stopped doing that, it was over for us.
Yes, thanks for reminding me of the other sh_t stain on our football teams. We had a 35-3 lead at the half and they scored like 38 to our zero in 2nd half (If I recall correctly).
Last portion of the 3rd quarter is the key IMO... I have no doubt we'll be either winning or still in it up until that point.. Being able to extend the lead or not allowing KC to cut into it is detrimental for my psyche... I would like to start the 4th without thinking " Same ol Texans" one of these days against KC
This is as close to playing in the AFC Championship game as this team will get...until it actually plays in the AFC Championship Game.
My one request is that we stick to the quick over the middle throws. We were carving up the colts doing that, then we would get into this lull of running up the middle and taking deep shots. Then we would come back to the quick shots over the middle. I trust the defense.. throw it up the middle (fast), run it outside.
