Reid making Jason Garrett look like a clock management guru.

[TroyF]

Announcers yapping about the Time Out, it's USELESS now. If they convert this, they'll want to kill clock. If tehy don't, the time out won't help them get the ball back. That time out was meaningless there.

Out of bounds.

[TroyF]

Have to see the replay, but I thought the call was right.

[Julio Riddols]

Well, that was how close the Chiefs were to winning.

[Vince, Pt. II]

Dwayne Bowe, you're fucking terrible. How do you not stay in bounds there?!!?

[kingfc22]

Glad I didn't switch off this one.

[Drake]

Apparently Reid knew he wouldn't need the timeout...

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Two freakin' inches. Ugh.

[BillJasper]

How in the world do you blow a 28 point second half lead?

[chadritt]

WOW. That was a phenomenally fun game to watch.

[JPhillips]

At least the Colts didn't set a record for points in a half.

[Abe Sargent]

And there's another game in a few minutes, right? Dang!

[Julio Riddols]

One of the best playoff games ever, we'll see if the Colts can avoid a little lag after such a crazy win.

The advantage would be playing them at home without that crowd going crazy.

The guy that just threw three Ints doesn't scare me.

[TroyF]

Game over. I give the Chiefs all the credit in the world. That was an amazing performance. The injuries, especially to Charles was just brutal to take. My feelings on how good I think the team is are well known, but they played their asses off today. They deserved a better fate.

As others have said, Luck is already building his legend. Assuming Cincy wins tomorrow, I'm truly frightened about next week. That will not be an easy football game.

[Dutch]

Wild, crazy, zany, fun game to watch. Wow, how does the Eagles/Saints game beat that????

[Julio Riddols]

Pagano is gonna be a good coach for a long time.

[bhlloy]

That was nuts, and I have a feeling that the Saints-Eagles game is going to be just as good.

Don't think you can count on Luck throwing 3 picks again next week. 28 points down in playoffs and find a way to move on. Seems almost unfair for a franchise to get Manning and this dude back-to-back.

[Galaril]

As a long time Houston Oilers fan I remember painful the Bills comeback in 1992 playoffs being down 31 so I can feel Chiefs fans pain.

You're not very familiar with Andy Reid's time management skills, are you?

[cartman]

Biggest lead blown in a playoff game since "The Comeback".

Two of those INT's were actually touched by Colts receivers first though. It'll be interesting to see how the Colts play going outdoors in January.

[Julio Riddols]

I feel like I just had sex.

The guy who threw for 440 yards and had 4 80+ yard drives for TD's should.

Turnovers are a crapshoot a lot of times. A dropped, gimmee INT cost Oklahoma State last night. Eli and Favre would throw 5 balls a game in the playoffs that could be picked off. Even if the Donkies or Patriots put themselves in a position to make those pics, there is no stone cold lock they get them. The Broncos and Pats both had 17 INT's this year. If they are looking at INT's as the way to win next week, they had better come up with a better game plan.

[Drake]

Does this game get a name like "The Comeback" or "Music City Miracle"?

[SackAttack]

I left to get gas/fuel line antifreeze and KC was still up two scores.

Holy meltdown, Batman.

[Thomkal]

wow what a crazy game that was

Just don't let Luck get warmed up. He seems to get behind or sloppy in his play, but once he locks on, the other team is essentially screwed. If Wayne wasn't hurt, I would blindly say they make it to the Super Bowl.

The game that Charlie Strong forgot

[NobodyHere]

So who should Colts root for tomorrow?

Do they want to play in New England or Denver?

[MIJB#19]

Heartbreaking loss for the Chiefs.

Luck seems to be at his best when his team is down going into the fourth quarter...

Like Montana and Young, or Aikman and Qunicy Cart...oh sorry, that was that alternate dimension.

The Lucky Win.

[Karlifornia]

Ok, Troy and MBBF, time to release the pulsating sexual tension between you two

As a Broncos fan, we had a massive lead on the Raiders on a Monday night and lost.

Then the '87 Super Bowl wasn't a comeback, but it was shocking how quick things spun out of control. 10-0 after the first quarter. Things are going pretty good. Down 35-10 at halftime, what the hell just happened?

Then we had the two stomach punch games, Jacksonville in '97 and Baltimore last year. I didn't see either of those two losses coming. Not in a million years. Those are the hardest to take. I can come up with multiple ways we lose to Luck next week. I didn't see how Baltimore could beat us last year.

The Succup (Ok, he didn't miss a FG or cost them the game, his name just writes punchlines though. I didn't say GOOD punchlines, cut me some slack.)

Yes but this discussion reminds me of the quote I Desmond Howard say the other day when his fellow announcers were lauding the victory of Texas A&M over Duke " We are talking about 52-48 victory over Duke? Duke right?" sort of goes with this one too. Chiefs were what we all thought they were. I think the Broncos should be more scared of there defense than Luck but it all is relative I suppose.

I remember little SI (ok, I was 11 or 12) going into the other room at halftime telling mom "The Oilers are finally going to win a playoff game!". Her: "the game isn't over yet, it is? They could still lose." Two hours later, little SI is crushed, having learned a lesson about life's disappointments

SI

[gstelmack]

So in the Football Outsiders playoff challenge, I had TY Hilton and Dwayne Bowe as 2 of my WRs. I think I did okay there...

I think this list can compete:
Jay Fiedler, Damon Huard, Ray Lucas, Brian Griese, AJ Feeley, Sage Rosenfels, Gus Frerotte, Joey Harrington, Daunte Culpepper, Cleo Lemon, Trent Green, John Beck, Chad Pennington, Chad Henne, Tyler Thigpen, Matt Moore and Ryan Tannehill

[Izulde]

So it was your mom's fault the Oilers lost?

[Julio Riddols]

Man, this Saints/Eagles game is boring as hell.

[Abe Sargent]

So far this game is a real Puntasaurus Rex.
