The Chiefs’ season has been teetering on the edge for weeks now, and it went over the edge on Thanksgiving Day.
A 31-28 loss to the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Irving, Texas, dropped the Chiefs’ record to 6-6.
Thursday’s game started promising as the Chiefs got an interception and scored quickly to take the lead. After Dallas responded with a touchdown, the Chiefs moved 72 yards for another touchdown and a 14-7 advantage.
Things went south after that as the Chiefs were plagued by penalties (for more than 100 yards), poor third-down defense and an inability to handle Dallas wideouts CeeDee Lamb and George PIckens (they combined for 200 receiving yards).
“We are just a bad football team,” one fan wrote on X.
Here is what other fans were saying about the Chiefs and their problems (at least the ones who didn’t curse).
“Need a new offensive philosophy,” a fan wrote on Facebook. “And a high draft pick wouldn’t hurt”
Another shared this: “Chiefs are a tired team. Postseason success eventually catches up to you. And this year it has for KC. Changes need to be made this offseason, Nagy runs an extremely undisciplined offense. But I’m sure they will still think Mahomes is 25 and can do everything by himself….
“Oh well, can’t wait to see what the Texans do to this offense.”
A fan wrote on Facebook: “While we just dug ourselves into a deep hold we’re down but not out. It’s not over!”
“Jan. 5th vacation plans go into effect for players after tonight,” another shared.
Another fan added this: “Chiefs Secondary got owned by Dallas wide receivers. Too may penalties (a few Dallas Friendly) Cowboys win! 15 gave us a chance.”
