I wrote something similar in a post I couldn't bring myself to submit. I said that so many streaks had come to an end today, I didn't have the heart to post them all.
I am taking this loss much harder than I expected, and I am not sure why. It's not really anger like I have experienced in some games in the past. It's a feeling bordering on . . . grief.
I am surprised by this.

Plus, I think we were two more wins away from all time win streak as well. I know people will say "16-0, who cares, it doesn't mean anything". But in reality it does, there is a reason why that Dolphins team is talked about every year (plus I think they only went 17-0, so 19-0 is even better). Even 2007 Pats at 18-1 get more talk it seems than the 2007 Giants that won the SB.
I won't care in a couple of days and move on and if they win the SB, I doubt I will even think about 19-0 again as back to back SBs is hard enough. But right now, feels like its an opportunity that was missed for not even a good reason. If we lost to a tough divisional rival or the Saints or something fine, but to lose to the Chiefs, it sucks. Esp since we didn't have any turnovers or give up a special teams play or anything - just doesn't make sense to me still that we actually lost.
