Kansas City Chiefs: Why Can’t We Have Nice Things

By Leigh Oleszczak

The Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Denver Broncos on Thursday night, and it was a weird game to say the least.

The Chiefs honestly deserved to lose on Thursday.

The offense played terribly and turned the ball over five times. One of those five times included the game-sealing fumble from Jamaal Charles that allowed the Broncos to take the lead with less than a minute left of the game.

The game was tied, and all the offense needed to do was kneel the ball and we’d be headed to overtime.

But nope… Instead, Charles fumbled the ball, and the Chiefs lost after having led the entire game. Of course that’s how the Chiefs lost this one. OF COURSE. 

At first I was angry about it. For one, I was sitting in the nosebleeds at Arrowhead near a bunch of Broncos fans who were dancing around and cheering. That part was brutal.

After digesting what had happened, though, I began to find humor in the situation. Kansas City has a reputation of being a loser town when it comes to sports and this final play of the Thursday night game sealed the deal.

Even the Kansas City Royals, who captured the hearts of Kansas City and most of America around this time last year, came up short in the World Series.

They did so in a ridiculous way too with Alex Gordon being stranded on third base and the whole “Should he have been sent home?” debate.

Word of advice Chiefs fans – Try and see the humor in it. It’ll be a long 11 days (and possibly a long season) if you don’t.

Such a Kansas City way to lose.

I’m sure by this point you’re all angry at me and want me to stop writing. I will point out that I am a huge homer. Really. I love Kansas City. I grew up here. Something I have learned in my 24 years of living here, however, is that this city’s sports teams aren’t destined for greatness.

We’re not the Patriots. We’re not the Packers. Hell, we’re not even the Broncos, who always seem to make it to the postseason and THEN choke. At least they make it there.

The Football Gods hate Kansas City, and I wish I knew what we did to make them so angry.

    • The only sports team around here that’s decent is Sporting Kansas City. They’ve at least won a title in the past few years.

    The Chiefs, though… Let’s just say that Thursday night game was very telling.

    The offense played lousy. Special teams couldn’t do anything without getting a penalty. Alex Smith threw two awful interceptions. The offensive line looked horrific. Not to mention the play-calling was… interesting.

    I wish we could just forget this game ever happened, but, unfortunately, we now have an entire 11 days to think about this game in detail.
