WEBVTT - Chiefs DETHRONED by Broncos? Eagles UGLY win vs. Lions, Shedeur’s DREADFUL debut | Nick Wright NFL 0:00:01.960 --> 0:00:05.640 Welcome in What's Driving the Great Episode three ninety three, 0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:08.360 and as always, this episode of What Driving the Grid 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:12.840 is presented to you by our friends at boost Mobile. 0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:18.680 A ton to do today as I am covered in 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:25.200 shame and losing bets and really a state of unease 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:32.880 surrounding my hometown, beloved Kansas City Chiefs after a game 0:00:34.520 --> 0:00:39.440 that I just never saw coming. And we will get 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:44.240 to that in full. There are a couple quick little 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:47.040 things that I would like to get to before we 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.519 get to that. And here's why I'm obviously I'm not 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:52.440 running from it. I had to deal with it on 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.400 TV yesterday. I'm gonna have to deal with it with 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:57.600 Colin and more on TV today, and we're gonna spend 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.480 a lot of time on it. Here. The reason that 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.200 we're gonna get to these others, small but I think 0:01:03.280 --> 0:01:06.200 really important stories just quickly off the top, is actually 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:09.839 because God only knows how long the Chiefs Broncos part 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:12.959 of the show is gonna take, and I want to 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:15.240 make sure we have time to get to these other things. 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:20.400 But it will. It will be given its full accounting 0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:24.200 of what happened on Sunday. What that means for the 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:27.679 Chiefs for the rest of the year why they actually 0:01:27.800 --> 0:01:32.720 might be in a slightly tougher playoff position as far 0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:37.160 as making the playoffs, then I think people currently understand 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:41.600 and where I was appear to have been wrong about 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.759 the Denver Broncos, who I said would go into their 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.120 by at six and five, and they go into their 0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:51.200 buy on an eight game winning streak at nine and two. 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:55.960 So all of that coming up shortly. First straight voicemail 0:01:56.040 --> 0:02:00.160 presented to you by Boost Mobile. The Cowboys annihilate the 0:02:00.240 --> 0:02:04.160 Raiders on Monday Night Football. Yeah, my Raiders are gonna 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.960 be the second best team in the AFC West. Take 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:12.120 is just a classic three instantly wrong. They'll always have 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:15.600 Week one of beating the Patriots, which right now registers 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.440 as the most bizarre outcome of the NBA SE of 0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.520 the NFL season. Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens bench for 0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:24.160 the opening drive of that game. It didn't matter. They 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:27.480 were dominant after that. Quinn Williams was great as the 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.320 Cowboys get to four five and one, maybe a couple 0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:36.640 minutes on this game later and Wimby out weeks with 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:46.600 a calf injury. Huge bummer, and excuse me, you understand 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.880 them being cautious with him. But it also means for 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:55.960 the gamblers out there, if anybody took some long shot 0:02:56.200 --> 0:03:02.400 Defensive Player of the Years that weren't obviously Winmby wouldn't 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:05.480 have been a long shot. Those bets are super live 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:10.520 because Wimby is probably gonna be ineligible to win Defensive 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:13.560 Player of the Year due to not reaching the sixty 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:18.080 five games minimum threshold. So I don't know who you 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:22.720 know what bets people made, but if you made a ah, 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.480 kind of a bummer bet, but I don't think Wimby's 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:29.639 gonna play enough games, it was good foresight and I'm 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:33.040 I will you know, the sportsbooks might not have even 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.760 fully adjusted where he might still be a huge favorite, 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:41.080 but he shouldn't be the So yeah, Wimby is now 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:45.480 four to one and Chet is plus one point thirty. 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:50.560 I'm just I think there's probably value on everyone else 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:58.120 in the marketplace because Wimby at four to one, I 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:02.280 think Wimby probably should be, like, you know, close to 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.320 off the board. I just don't think he's gonna hit 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:09.440 the sixty five games, all right, And that's courtesy our 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:14.720 friends at hardrec Bet. Obviously, so quick two quick things 0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:17.960 before we get to the Chiefs Broncos, and the first 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.920 one is believe it or not, for one of the 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:26.720 first times in this show's history, we are going to 0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:33.640 start with Shadoor Sanders, but we're not actually starting with Shador, 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:39.200 and so that sounds silly, but here's the point I'm making. 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.680 So Shoudor came in, he obviously was terrible. He was 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.800 four of sixteen. It's the worst completion percentage by a 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.159 guy who threw at least ten passes in four years 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.839 in the NFL. It was a game that the Browns 0:04:53.200 --> 0:04:57.599 could have been. One would correctly argue what even should 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:03.680 have won with just tip bad quarterback play. Instead, Gabriel 0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:07.280 was terrible, and then Shador came in and was somehow worse, 0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.200 and they lose and the Ravens escape with a win 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:15.560 they did not really deserve, despite Miles Garrett, who might 0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:20.800 get twenty five sacks this year just playing at an 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:25.960 all time level. But the reason I'm starting with Shador 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.920 is because this morning Twitter was down for a bit, 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:42.120 and I think Twitter has I want to make sure 0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:46.720 I use the right word warped people's brains and ability 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:53.320 to discuss Shador Sanders in a way it's such an 0:05:56.080 --> 0:06:02.640 What you have and what Twitter has rewarded from content 0:06:02.880 --> 0:06:13.279 creators is the most idiotic Shadore Sanders takes being so 0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:20.599 amplified and being so force fed to anyone who has 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:28.040 any type of sports algorithm that you have folks who 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:34.440 know better, or at least should know better, polluting the 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:43.520 public discourse with just nonsensical misinformation. And so you've got 0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.640 and it's on. And this is one of the rare 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:50.159 things where it is really a both sides problem. You 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:57.040 have folks who gain traction and get engagement by finding 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:03.960 anything imaginable to who criticize Shador for up to an 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:07.680 including where he's sitting on the bench during and after 0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:13.960 a game, because that gets engagement. And then you have 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:17.800 on the other end of it, folks acting as if 0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:22.720 it takes a grand conspiracy for a fifth round pick, 0:07:22.840 --> 0:07:27.240 third string quarterback to not have reps with the starting offense, 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:36.160 when it is totally reasonable that during training camp a 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:40.120 guy who was not actually ever maybe you think he 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.160 should have been competing for the starting job he wasn't 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.520 the Browns. Again, you can make the argument that the 0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:51.120 Browns simply don't know what they're doing. I don't know 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:57.280 what the biggest Shadoor fans out there, how they they 0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:00.760 can make that argument. I don't know how the square 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:06.600 the fact that the entire league said he's not worth 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:11.080 a first, second, third, or fourth round pick, and I 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.640 understand it. There was some league wide conspiracy talk. It's 0:08:14.720 --> 0:08:20.480 all so stupid, but set all that aside. In training camp, 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:25.440 the Browns looked at Joe Flacco as their starter and 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:29.520 Dylan Gabriel of the two young guys, as the higher 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.800 priority because he was the higher draft pick. That's how 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:37.480 that works. And then once Dylan Gabriel became the starter, 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:42.240 they looked at their third round rookie as a guy 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:47.000 who needed as much practice reps as possible, so they 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:52.480 were not splitting practice reps, which is totally incompletely reasonable. 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.720 Life is a fifth round pick in this league is hard. 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.959 It is supposed to be hard, and it's not always fair. 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.080 You get thrown into action and you have to look 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:10.960 better than Shador did, and it feels like, deep down, 0:09:11.920 --> 0:09:16.040 people who know better know that, but deep down folks 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:20.720 also know, oh my god, this really gets people going, 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:26.560 and it's just so dumb. And so now what we 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:34.920 will get is this week, Chador is gonna get a 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:39.080 real look. He will be the starter against the Raiders. 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:44.760 He will get the full week of practice, he will 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:51.079 get a game plan to his strength, you know, catered 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:56.040 to him, and we'll see what he looks like. And 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:03.000 typically in sports, if you're good enough, none of the 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:09.880 other stuff really matters, and you don't have a lot 0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:13.600 of As a fifth round quarterback, you're not gonna have 0:10:13.640 --> 0:10:19.040 a ton of better opportunities than this one, knowing you 0:10:19.200 --> 0:10:24.360 are the starter all week long, going against a bad 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:29.440 team that is on a shorter week themselves, and an 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:39.319 opportunity to remake at least temporarily that Brown's quarterback discussion, 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:42.920 because Gabriel has been really bad and if shredor goes 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:47.120 out there in balls, maybe he gets another week. But 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:59.120 my colleagues in the media that know it's not at 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:02.760 all outraged for should or to have no reps with 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:14.160 the ones and implying or outright saying differently because either 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:18.960 they want to be in good with Prime, or it's 0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:25.400 what they think their particular fans or followers will appreciate, 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:31.720 or just because they think it'll get the most motion 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:37.560 on the internet. It's so bad, and it really is 0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:42.960 a good example of This is a real example of 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:48.000 social media at times making the discourse dumber, and so 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:49.880 that's why I want to spend a few minutes on it. 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.520 Off the top, we don't have to spend more time 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.200 on it. We will see what he looks like against 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:58.840 the Raiders. I think Dylan Gabriel has been the worst 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:05.000 starting quarterback in the league this year. And the only 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:11.000 reason that you wouldn't bench Gabriel for Shador is if 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:15.160 when he has a full week of reps in practice 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.880 and is ready to go against the Raiders, he looks 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:22.080 at all like he looked in that Ravens game. Because 0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:26.280 in that Ravens game, he looked like a guy who 0:12:26.400 --> 0:12:29.960 was wholly unequipped for the job. And I didn't listen. 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.840 I didn't love him coming out of school, but I 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.640 certainly liked him more coming out of school than Dylan Gabriel, 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:42.080 and in that game, he looked like a guy that 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:47.440 was a ways away from being a ways away.

I'm mentioning that 0:15:43.920 --> 0:15:47.600 for a couple of reasons. One is because I do 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:50.400 think if he's on a minute's restriction, you know, coming 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:53.880 off an injury, it could theoretically be in jeopardy. And 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:58.800 the other is, uh, fresh off and unbelievable week where 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:02.280 you scare head back to back forty point games. Sadly, 0:16:02.440 --> 0:16:05.640 Steph's double digit point streak reset back to zero, so 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.520 he's he's gonna have to keep going for about another 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.240 seventeen years if he wants to catch Bron on that record. 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:17.280 That's either here nor there. I am really excited to 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.360 see what this Lakers team looks like with Bron. They 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:24.040 obviously need him to have any chance to compete with Okac. 0:16:24.600 --> 0:16:27.600 Now it's possible nobody's gonna compete with a healthy OKC, 0:16:28.200 --> 0:16:35.240 but Luke is playing so well, Austin's playing so well. Obviously, 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:40.840 adding Lebron will make that team that much better, and 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:44.400 I'm curious how much he's gonna help them defensively. Bron's number, 0:16:44.480 --> 0:16:47.440 by the ways, at one two hundred and ninety two, 0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:50.800 which is just a little more than four hundred clear 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:54.000 of Michael Jordan's second place, which at eight hundred and 0:16:54.040 --> 0:17:00.160 sixty six. And so that's something to watch tonight, as 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:03.720 the Lakers more than survived the time without Bron at 0:17:03.720 --> 0:17:07.840 ten and four. Now, the other thing I wanted to do, 0:17:08.080 --> 0:17:10.119 and I promise that I'm not doing some gag. We 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:14.800 are doing Chiefs Broncos in three minutes is did you 0:17:14.840 --> 0:17:26.960 guys see the Draymond court side interaction? So Draymond approaches 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.879 a fan in New Orleans who was sitting courtside, and 0:17:29.960 --> 0:17:33.199 the fan looked like he was taller than Draymond. So 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:37.199 this guy's got to be like six'. Eight it was 0:17:37.320 --> 0:17:40.680 really bizarre to see the guys stand up And draymond, 0:17:40.720 --> 0:17:43.199 come you, know almost nose to nose with, him and 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:47.680 the guy's bigger than, him And draymond was clearly very. 0:17:47.760 --> 0:17:52.800 Upset but it was interesting because they didn't kick the fan, 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:58.959 out and almost always if a player gets that upset 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:01.160 with a, fan that fan gets. Removed but they didn't 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.399 kick the fan. Out so Then draymond was asked about 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:09.040 it after the, game and he, said the guy kept 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:14.840 calling me a, woman and it's, like wait. What and 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:20.080 Then draymond clarified he kept calling him a specific, woman 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:26.920 and again it's like wait. What and then the fan, explained, oh, 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:30.960 yeah he missed a few, layups got his own, rebound 0:18:31.359 --> 0:18:36.160 SO i started Chanting Angel. Reese now you can say 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:43.400 that's mean or disrespectful To, angel or it's low, brow 0:18:45.320 --> 0:18:51.840 but it is clever and it is interesting that he 0:18:51.960 --> 0:19:00.160 could yell just repeatedly Say Angel, reese and everyone dram 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:05.919 including can know exactly what he's, saying exactly the dig 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:16.720 he's trying to get at. Him and, ADDITIONALLY i think 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:24.719 that is totally in. BOUNDS i think that that is 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:35.320 the type of heckling that should not get a fan 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:41.400 disciplined at. All And i'm glad The New orleans staff 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:45.639 did not try to kick that fan out or do 0:19:45.760 --> 0:19:53.760 anything to, him And draymond's entire you, know, Basically i've 0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:58.520 got a, Wife i've got. Kids you, can't. Buddy that 0:19:58.680 --> 0:20:04.159 was not over the line Disrespect and if we really 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.800 wanted to get on a deep, level the fact that 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:11.720 you kept saying calling me a woman was that you 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:17.639 felt that. Disrespectful that's like kind of. Sneaky reveals a 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:21.639 little more about you than maybe about the. Guy but 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:26.800 that type of heckling is the exact type of heckling 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:33.880 that is in. Bounds and If i'm not a, heckler 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:36.919 if you're gonna, heckle it's the type of heckling that 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:42.200 you should. Do it's no, profanity there's nothing truly personal or, 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:46.240 offensive but it gets under the opposing team. Skin so 0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:49.960 THAT i thought was, Solid like that kind of witty 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:55.080 by that. Guy, OKAY i wanted to get to those 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:58.399 stories BECAUSE i wanted to be on the record about, 0:20:58.440 --> 0:21:01.440 him AND i don't know how long we're gonna Talk broncos, 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:05.040 chiefs AND i didn't want to not have, time and 0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:07.840 the people in the chat, saying quit stalling and get to, it. 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:12.960 GUYS i. AM i. DO i do about more live 0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:17.240 media than at least sports media than anyone in the. 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:20.680 Field i'm not you, Know i'm not IN i certainly 0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:24.480 don't do more media than everyone who does sports media 0:21:24.520 --> 0:21:29.080 if you include their asinine and ridiculous political talk. Shows 0:21:29.520 --> 0:21:32.960 but when it comes to actual sports, TALK i do 0:21:33.119 --> 0:21:35.119 quite a. Bit i'm not gonna be able to run 0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:39.359 from any, story AND i certainly can't run from this. 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:46.160 One The chiefs went To denver and arguably their biggest 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:57.200 regular season game Of patrick's, career and got thoroughly outplayed 0:21:58.640 --> 0:22:05.639 and blew a more than winnable game multiple, times blew 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:11.560 a fourth quarter, lead and in that singular, Game Bo 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:15.800 nicks played better Than Patrick. Mahomes that is what. HAPPENED 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:23.560 i could not have been more shocked watching a game 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:29.680 THAN i was watching that, one BECAUSE i The chiefs 0:22:29.720 --> 0:22:32.159 are healthy for the most. PART i know they don't Have. 0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:34.920 Pacheco The chiefs right now are a healthier than AVERAGE 0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:39.159 nfl team for this point the. Season they were off a, 0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:46.840 bye they had full, motivation a lot of familiarity with that, 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:56.199 opponent And patrick was off and the defense could not 0:22:56.440 --> 0:23:05.199 get a stop when it, mattered and so on the 0:23:05.280 --> 0:23:10.560 offensive side of. Things first second play of the, game 0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:14.000 you Have Xavier worthy open for. Six, yeah it's a 0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:17.000 tough throw because it's sixty yards in the, air but 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:22.679 those are the throws that you know partly Made Patrick. 0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:25.520 Mahomes Patrick, mahomes he missed. Him that would have been 0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:29.119 a chance to just basically set the tone for the. 0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:37.120 Game immediately missed that. Opportunity. Obviously you, know they had 0:23:37.119 --> 0:23:45.920 a sequence right before The patrick, interception and this might 0:23:45.960 --> 0:23:54.080 have been the single biggest swing of the. Game patrick 0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:56.960 throws a little swing pass To Kareem. Hunt he gets 0:23:57.000 --> 0:23:59.600 down to the two yard. Line they're gonna have first 0:23:59.600 --> 0:24:06.040 and goal the. Two Juwan taylor the illegal formation lined 0:24:06.119 --> 0:24:10.199 up too far. Back instead of first and goal from the, 0:24:10.280 --> 0:24:17.760 two it becomes first and. Fifteen two plays, Later patrick 0:24:17.840 --> 0:24:22.280 makes a terrible, throw and instead of at least being 0:24:22.680 --> 0:24:25.200 without the, penalty it's probably gonna be thirteen to six 0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:27.760 with the, penalty it still should be at least nine to. 0:24:27.840 --> 0:24:34.920 Six throws a, Pick denver drives down and. Scores despite all, 0:24:35.000 --> 0:24:40.280 That Kansas city fights, back scores a couple, touchdowns takes a, 0:24:40.400 --> 0:24:44.760 lead has the ball in the fourth quarter with a, 0:24:44.880 --> 0:24:48.439 lead go, down score a, touchdown game over three and, 0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:56.520 out then gets the ball. Back tie game four minutes, 0:24:57.720 --> 0:25:00.280 perfect not going to cover the three three and a, 0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:03.960 half but still drive down the, field kick a field, 0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:12.000 goal win the game three and. Out and then on 0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:15.119 the defensive side of the, ball first drive of the, 0:25:15.160 --> 0:25:18.920 game first play, sack have them in second and, sixteen 0:25:18.920 --> 0:25:21.560 which turns into third and, seven and give it. Up 0:25:21.960 --> 0:25:24.840 later in that, drive have them in third and eleven 0:25:25.000 --> 0:25:28.919 outside of field goal, range and give it. Up and 0:25:29.040 --> 0:25:34.640 on the final drive of the, game after those two 0:25:34.720 --> 0:25:38.639 offensive three and, outs you instantly have Bo nicks in 0:25:38.760 --> 0:25:43.080 third and fifteen and you can't get a pass rush 0:25:44.200 --> 0:25:49.040 and you give up a twenty yard. Completion three plays, 0:25:49.119 --> 0:25:54.120 later it's third and, six still not in field goal, 0:25:54.200 --> 0:26:00.119 range and you give up a seven yard. Completion ever 0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:06.360 made the high leverage, Plays Kansas city did, not And 0:26:06.440 --> 0:26:13.679 denver now is a stranglehold on the. Division AND i 0:26:13.760 --> 0:26:18.320 can think WHAT i want and still think about Bow 0:26:18.440 --> 0:26:24.960 knicks and his long term viability as a franchise. Quarterback 0:26:25.200 --> 0:26:28.560 but the fact of the matter is On, sunday he, 0:26:28.600 --> 0:26:31.880 played in my, opinion the best game of his, career 0:26:32.720 --> 0:26:36.400 in the second biggest game of his. Career the only 0:26:36.400 --> 0:26:38.120 game that would have been bigger is the playoff, game 0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:42.000 and he was. Excellent excellent might be. Strong he was 0:26:42.520 --> 0:26:56.520 good certainly more than good. Enough And denver now has 0:26:56.560 --> 0:27:02.480 a buye and then back to back soft games at 0:27:02.520 --> 0:27:06.879 The commanders at The, raiders and then a very tough 0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:09.960 final month of the, season but they should go into 0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:17.080 that month eleven and, two Then Packers jags at The 0:27:17.160 --> 0:27:21.160 chiefs home for The. Chargers so tough, month but three 0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:25.240 of the four games are at. Home the one road 0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:32.440 game Is Christmas night at The. Chiefs and So denver 0:27:32.600 --> 0:27:36.639 right now is the one. SEED i would not my 0:27:36.840 --> 0:27:41.960 money would be On denver finishing as the two right. 0:27:42.000 --> 0:27:45.679 Now IF i IF i had to handicap, IT i 0:27:45.720 --> 0:27:49.359 would Say New england Won denver TWO d, three But 0:27:49.560 --> 0:27:57.200 denver deserves. Credit And Sean payton talked shit at halftime 0:27:57.880 --> 0:28:01.439 To Tracy wolfson and backed it, up, SAID i like 0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:05.080 where we. Are they're first half. TEAM i thought it 0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:10.040 was outrageous what he. Said he backed it all. Up what's, 0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:22.080 so what's interesting is internally The chiefs still feel like 0:28:22.240 --> 0:28:27.280 this team can be and should be better than last year's, 0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:32.080 team with the offensive line being that much so much 0:28:32.119 --> 0:28:35.840 better and the wide receiving core being, healthy and maybe 0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:45.800 it can, be but they are butting up against that 0:28:46.120 --> 0:28:57.200 potentially not. Mattering and here's WHAT i. Mean they are 0:28:57.320 --> 0:29:03.720 five and five obvious if they go seven and, oh 0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:09.800 they're a lock for the. Playoffs and at seven and 0:29:09.840 --> 0:29:14.080 oh they actually would have a chance to come all 0:29:14.120 --> 0:29:16.360 the way back and win the. Division but it would 0:29:16.360 --> 0:29:20.680 be and even though they're favored in every game, remaining 0:29:21.640 --> 0:29:24.880 given the fact that they're five and, five just sitting 0:29:24.880 --> 0:29:29.560 here saying they're gonna rip off seven straight would be overly, 0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:36.640 optimistic even for. Me but seven and oh definitely gets them. 0:29:36.640 --> 0:29:41.640 In six and, one which would put them at eleven 0:29:41.680 --> 0:29:50.760 and six almost assuredly gets them. In but five and 0:29:50.880 --> 0:30:03.200 two probably does. Not and that is the thing THAT i, 0:30:03.240 --> 0:30:06.160 think if we're going to have an honest conversation about 0:30:06.200 --> 0:30:15.600 where The chiefs, are what has to be acknowledged is 0:30:16.880 --> 0:30:24.080 they probably only have one more loss to play, with 0:30:25.840 --> 0:30:32.240 barring a true collapse by The jags or The. Chargers 0:30:32.920 --> 0:30:42.040 and that's the anxiety inducing, part BECAUSE i still. LISTEN i, 0:30:42.560 --> 0:30:45.440 yes of, course you'd rather win the, division you'd rather 0:30:45.640 --> 0:30:48.560 be the one, seed you'd rather all these. Things but 0:30:49.160 --> 0:30:55.200 as The chiefs proved a couple years, ago they can 0:30:56.640 --> 0:31:00.560 go on the road in the playoffs against a gone 0:31:00.720 --> 0:31:04.960 a far TOUGHER afc that year than what potentially exists 0:31:05.000 --> 0:31:08.520 this year and win playoff games In buffalo In. Baltimore 0:31:08.800 --> 0:31:13.400 they can do. That so being even the seventh seed 0:31:13.560 --> 0:31:22.000 in THE afc this year wouldn't be. Devastating like If 0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:25.760 i'm right about how the bracket, falls if you're the seventh, 0:31:25.800 --> 0:31:30.280 seed what you're staring at is a rematch of that 0:31:30.440 --> 0:31:34.760 game we just saw this past weekend In, denver third 0:31:34.800 --> 0:31:40.600 time playing each, other and then a trip To New. England. 0:31:40.920 --> 0:31:46.520 Again you don't love any of those, spots but historically 0:31:46.560 --> 0:31:49.480 the seventh seed in THE, afc what it would mean 0:31:49.600 --> 0:31:53.400 is they are going To buffalo and then either To 0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:58.440 baltimore or Two Kansas city against THOSE mvp. Quarterbacks this 0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:02.840 is a little. Different so as the seventh, SEED i 0:32:03.040 --> 0:32:07.640 actually wouldn't hate the path if the bracket holds the 0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:16.760 WAY i think you know it likely. Should The the 0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:22.760 concern is if The, chiefs just after starting five and, 0:32:22.880 --> 0:32:28.040 five just go five and two the rest of the 0:32:28.080 --> 0:32:34.080
