Misery Index · Despair
Chiefs fans blame Reid's 4th-and-inches punt first, H.Butker second, the refs third, and P.Mahomes never.
The emotional rollercoaster
Fan misery across the game window. Up is worse. ● biggest swings
What happened
H.Butker pushed a 54-yarder wide right with 2:36 left, and on the next snap B.Nix found J.Coleman for 51 yards down to the KC 5. P.Mahomes still dragged the offense to the DEN 12 behind a 32-yard strike to T.Kelce, only to go down under M.Roach with four seconds left. Fans are blaming a punt on 4th and inches, a benching and a blocking collapse, but the real worry is how often P.Mahomes has to rescue everyone else.
What fans said
“When we punted on 4th and inches is when we lost this game. Pathetic decision.”

“I have not seen a bigger robbery than what the Denver Broncos and the refs just did to the Chiefs.”
@SportsGuyShawnO♥ 706rage
“Caliendo getting bull rushed to lose it. The Kingsley benching, the gutless punt on 4th and inches, and putting faith in Harrison fucking Butker cost us again.”

“Trash coaching on and off the field it would appear.”

“You literally cannot make this shit up. 3 phantom calls on the chiefs and only 12 minutes have went by this game.”
@theonlydyl_♥ 559rage
“Butker should be released. Chiefs need pass rusher and wr. Nix should get ten year extension.”
