1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to the best of the week for What's Right

2
00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: with Nick Right the best takes and moments from this

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: week on the show. Enjoy Now to the easiest bet

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 1: every single year, the Chiefs hitting there over under Andy Reid.

5
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 1: It has failed to happen one time, and they made

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: up for it that year by winning the Super Bowl.

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: The Chiefs win total getting even money over eleven and

8
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: a half wins. That's an easy one. I will take

9
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,200
Speaker 1: over eleven and a half every day with Kansas City.

10
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: Twelve and five would disappoint me. I expect thirteen and

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: four or better. They are not going eleven and six

12
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. We don't need to spend more time on it.

13
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: Everyone knew I was going Chiefs over because it is

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: the right bet. I am going over with the Kansas

15
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. Our annual tradition EXACTA. Three years ago we

16
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: had Chiefs Niners, and the Niners found themselves in the

17
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: Conference championship game. Last two years ago we had Chiefs Cowboys,

18
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,639
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys found themselves with twelve wins. Last year

19
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: we had Chiefs Bears, and the Bears had a season

20
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: from hell and missed the playoffs. This year, the Super

21
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: Bowl EXACTA at fifty five to one is a drummer.

22
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: We please, Demonse.

23
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,119
Speaker 2: We got Kansas City versus Tampa Bay and the Super

24
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: Bowl exact plus fifty five hundred.

25
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: How about the and then obviously spoiler Super Bowl exactly

26
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: the winner.

27
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: Right, Kansas City defeat Tampa Bay at plus eleven thousand.

28
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: Indeed, so, Demonse, here's something I didn't even think about

29
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: when I made this pick. Brew mentioned it. The Chiefs

30
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: with Mahomes have been to five Super Bowls, all rematches,

31
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: played Philly twice, played San Francisco twice. The one other

32
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: team they played Tampa Bay, another Super Bowl rematch bake

33
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: Show against Patrick revisiting the greatest, the craziest college football

34
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: game ever played. Do you know about their college.

35
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: Game, Demonsemes and Baker against each other? Yeah, I'm sure

36
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: they each other up.

37
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: Hold on, well let me, Demonse, so let me just

38
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: tell you real quick, twenty sixteen, because they have played

39
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: in the playoffs before. All right, so the final score, Demanse,

40
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: let me, I'm just actually hold on. Let me just

41
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: go to Patrick Mahomes college stats. Final score was sixty

42
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: six to fifty nine. So that gives you a little

43
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: bit of a preview. It was Texas Tech where Baker

44
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: started against Oklahoma, and hold on, where is it here?

45
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: It is? The final stats are as follows. Uh. Joe

46
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: Mixon was in the game. He ran for two sixty

47
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: okay and four touchdowns. But that wasn't the story. The

48
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: story was Baker. Baker was twenty seven of thirty six

49
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: only through thirty six passes for five hundred and forty

50
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: five yards, seven touchdowns, no picks. Jesus okay, okay. Patrick

51
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: Patrick was fifty two of eighty eight.

52
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: Oh was slee.

53
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: For seven hundred and thirty four yards five touchdowns. Running

54
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: back well, no, they did have a running back go

55
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: twelve carries for eighty five five yards and two touchdowns.

56
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: That running backs name was Patrick Mahomes. So Mahomes in

57
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: that game combined for eight hundred and ten yards, seven touchdowns,

58
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: one pick. Bake show in that game never ran the

59
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 1: ball through for five forty five and seven touchdowns on

60
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: just thirty six attempts. Mahomes threw at eighty eight times.

61
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: It is an all time legendary college football game.

62
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah.

63
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: October twenty second, twenty sixteen, all timer. And so they've

64
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: played in the playoffs before Patrick got hurt against the

65
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: when Baker was there in the Browns, and yeah, that's

66
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:57,720
Speaker 1: my uh, that is most Super Bowl EXACTA. I Am

67
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: not going to sit here and act like everything's fine

68
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs right now. It isn't. There are some

69
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: I want to focus on the concerning things that have

70
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: occurred in both games. Okay, So for instance, Week one,

71
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: the secondary, which has been a strength of this team,

72
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: looked hugely problematic against Herbert and the Chargers. Week two,

73
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: I thought the secondary looked really good, right, So like

74
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: that's the one good game, one bad game. I'm not

75
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 1: focusing on that. Here is what through two weeks looks problematic,

76
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: and I don't know where the solve for it is.

77
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: The Chiefs running game is as inept right now as

78
00:05:54,360 --> 00:06:00,080
Speaker 1: it's ever been since Patrick's been there. Pachecko sadly, he

79
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: just does not look like the same player he was

80
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: before he broke his leg. And what's odd about it

81
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: is his biggest problem through two weeks doesn't seem to

82
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: be explosion. It seems to be vision and hitting the

83
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: right hole. You wouldn't think that is related to a

84
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: lower body injury, but he just hasn't been effective. Kareem

85
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: Hunt is who he is. He if you need one

86
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: yard more way more often than not, he will get

87
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: it for you. But he has no chance of getting

88
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: you ten. And they brought in Elijah Mitchell. Nothing's happened there.

89
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: They drafted Brischard Smith in the I think seventh round.

90
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: He's seventh round rookie. Like they just right now don't

91
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: have the horses in the running back room, and that

92
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: is a spot that I would not at all hate

93
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: for him to be active on. In the trade market,

94
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: I think we have There has been a lot of

95
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 1: discussion of should the Chiefs trade for Tyreek Hill? The

96
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: wide receivers are coming back, Okay, I if I were

97
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: doing a trade with Miami, I might be equally, if

98
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: not more, interested in Devin h Chan Like I think

99
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: that there are you running backs will be and should

100
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 1: be available, and that might be a spot that they

101
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: have to bite the bullet and spend some draft capital

102
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: via trade on. So that's one piece, and here's another one.

103
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: As good as Josh Simmons has been at the left

104
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: tackle spot, Patrick still doesn't feel totally comfortable in his protection. Now,

105
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: some of that's been the left guard spot's been really problematic.

106
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: But Creed's great, Trade's great, Simmons is really good, Joan

107
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 1: Taylor when he's not committing penalties is fine. And Patrick

108
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: just seems like he doesn't trust it right now. And

109
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: I am as confident in Patrick Mahomes as any player

110
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: that's ever played in the league that he will figure

111
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: stuff out. And there have been times this season where

112
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: it has felt like he's out there. I don't want

113
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: to say by himself, but nobody can get opening. They

114
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: can't run the ball, which has forced him to and

115
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: this is the part of the season that I have

116
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: liked the absolute least. It has forced him to activate

117
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: playoff running Mahomes in weeks one and two, and I

118
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: despise that because obviously it puts him in jeopardy, which

119
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 1: is the biggest concern. But the other thing is one

120
00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: of the reasons he has had the post season's success

121
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: that he's had. One of the reasons he has been

122
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: so much more dynamic and effective statistically and from a

123
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: winning perspective on a per game basis than any other

124
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: quarterback in the history of the league come the postseason

125
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: is because every single postseason he adds a huge weapon

126
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: to his game that is not there in the regular season,

127
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: which is the quarterback runs the scrambles, and if he's

128
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: using that during the regular season, it has just multiple concerns.

129
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: One is he can get banged up. Another is you're

130
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: not getting that auto postseason boost. Like Josh Allen and

131
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: Lamar are unbelievable runners at the quarterback position, they do

132
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: it starting in Week one and never stop. So it

133
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: doesn't add an element to their game come the playoffs.

134
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: It has for Patrick and the last listen issue on

135
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: offense is the greatest tight end in the history of

136
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: the league has had a really rough two weeks. There's

137
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: no way around it. Third play of the season. I

138
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: thought it was Xavier's mistake. He says. It was his

139
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: mistake that he ran the wrong depth of his route

140
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: and Xavier's hurt. Later in that game, he and Patrick

141
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: aren't on quite the same page. When they're down nine,

142
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,440
Speaker 1: about to score, they don't connect on what would have

143
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: been a touchdown. And then obviously the Eagles game, they're

144
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: about to take the lead and he bobbles a pass

145
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: and it turns into a game changing interception. That's all.

146
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: It's been highly damaging. I don't know if it's yet

147
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: highly concerning, but it's highly damaging. Okay, So there is

148
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: that piece of it on the defensive side of the ball.

149
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: The only complaint I have after week two is they

150
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: cannot seem to get pressure without sending a blitz, like

151
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 1: if they rush for they just cannot get home. So

152
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if that means the rookies Ashton Jalot

153
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,239
Speaker 1: or Omar Norman lot need to be more effective. Certainly

154
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: Charles Amena who needs to be more effective. Mike Dana

155
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: got hurt in this game. That didn't help. George Karloft

156
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: has just got paid by this team, he needs to

157
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: be more effective. Like Chris Jones is a man on

158
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: an island at times. And so those are real problems, okay,

159
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: And right now the Chiefs don't deserve to be anything

160
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: close to Super Bowl favorites. I'm not gonna sit here

161
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 1: and act like, ah, they got unlucky, they got this. No.

162
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: If anything, it is surprising that they have had a

163
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 1: chance to win both of these games when they haven't

164
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: played well. They've missed kicks in both games. They haven't

165
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: forced a turnover. So that is the true and fair,

166
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: sober analysis of where the Chiefs are through two weeks.

167
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: Anything past that is nonsense. Anyone trying to pedal Wow,

168
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: should they be worried about making the playoffs? I think

169
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: has lost their mind. Now is the division for the

170
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: first time in Jeopardy? Yeah, when you're zero to two

171
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,959
Speaker 1: and a team that beat you is two to zero

172
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: with a divisional win, it's understandable that the Chiefs are

173
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: no longer the favorites in the division. Demanse and where

174
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: where does hard Rock Bet have them at? Right now?

175
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 2: They've got them at plus two forty to win the division?

176
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: Should you hammer that?

177
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, as it's not surprising to you. Probably

178
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: I have a lot of exposure already on the Chiefs,

179
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: you know, futures and season and win total. But I

180
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: think plus two point forty is good value right now

181
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: when I do right now, if I had to pick it,

182
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: I would still pick the Chiefs to win the division.

183
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 1: What I do think though, and I told this story

184
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 1: on the TV show. I'm going to tell it again

185
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: here because having an encyclopedic memory about the Patrick mahomes

186
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: Erra for the Kansaity Chiefs can pay dividends and so

187
00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: let me tell you guys. A quick story. In twenty twenty,

188
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs with the defending champions, went back to the

189
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and got blasted by Tampa Bay. The next year,

190
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: not only did they start out three and four, but

191
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: Mahomes had the first real slump of his career. Is

192
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: with Kelsey this Tyreek. They get blown out by Buffalo,

193
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: they get blown out by Tennessee. They then play the

194
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: Giants and need a field goal with a minute left

195
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 1: to be a foreign and eventually four win. Joe Judge

196
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: Giants team to get to three and four. The very

197
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 1: next week, they play the Packers in the game Aaron

198
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: Rodgers can't play in because of That's how we found

199
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 1: out he didn't have the COVID vaccine because he was

200
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: on the COVID list. And Jordan Love, in his first

201
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: career start, comes to town and it's one of the

202
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: ugliest games ever. And with two minutes left it is

203
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 1: thirteen to seven Kansas City and Mahomes has played terribly okay,

204
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: And it is third and ten and a first down

205
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: wins the game, and they don't get a first down

206
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: and they could lose outright and fall to three and five,

207
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: and Patrick play breaks down. Patrick scrambles to his right

208
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: off one leg, zips in a laser down the sideline

209
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 1: to ice the game. And I went on TV the

210
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: next day and said, I believe that's the moment Patrick

211
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: snapped out of his funk. I believe that is the

212
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 1: moment that the Chiefs will be the Chiefs again. And

213
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 1: the rest of the season they lost one time and

214
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: made it to the AFC Championship Game, where they did

215
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: lose to the Cincinnati Bengals, But the rest of it,

216
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: from that moment forward, there were good. What does any

217
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: team in football this year? They get blown out in

218
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, they look terrible through two weeks. They

219
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: are playing the New York Giants. It is a tie game.

220
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: Approaching halftime, Patrick attempts to swing past Isaiah Pacheco, who

221
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: runs in the wrong direction. The ball is live, it

222
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: is about to be Giants thirteen to six, and the

223
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs are going to be in dire straits and Patrick

224
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: Mahomes runs down the Giants player who's about to scoop

225
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: and score, takes the ball back from him, steadies the team,

226
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: And from that moment forward in that game was Patrick

227
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 1: Mahomes again, I do think we are going to look

228
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: back on that moment as the moment the Chiefs studied themselves.

229
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: Where I am, though, Demons is fully relaxed and comfortable

230
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,439
Speaker 1: and relieved about the Chiefs. Let's get right to the

231
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: game of the weekend.

232
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we all saw what happened on Sunday. Your

233
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 2: Chiefs crushed my Ravens. We were obviously riddled with injuries.

234
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 2: Our quarterback went down very early into the third quarter.

235
00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: But she said, after starting in.

236
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 1: Ten, it is not hold on. Your quarterback did not

237
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: go down early in the third the end of the

238
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: third quarter when when he tapped out when they were

239
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: down seventeen.

240
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: But go ahead, all right, you said, your Chiefs had

241
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: the chance to rewrite history after starting oh and two

242
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 2: after this game, do you think they did so well?

243
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: Listen, they studied themselves and the on and to start,

244
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,679
Speaker 1: what they had to do was beat the Giants. That

245
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 1: was an ugly game that obviously turned on the tackle

246
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: that turned the tide. And then they had to go

247
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: take care of business against the Ravens. And take care

248
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: of business they did, and not shockingly the moment the

249
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 1: Chiefs had close to a competent receiving corps. The offense

250
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: looked good again the last And we don't have to

251
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: do this full history in depth, but it is worth

252
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: mentioning that the Chiefs traded away Tyreek Hill Mahomes snap

253
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: in an offseason changed the way he played based on

254
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: the receivers they had one league MVP. The very next year,

255
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: dealt with more drops than any quarterback literally in modern

256
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: NFL history, figured it out by the playoffs, won the

257
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. The next year, dealt with the most injured

258
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: wide receiver and running back room in the NFL, got

259
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: all the way to the super Bowl. And the next year,

260
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: which was this year, walked into the season with his

261
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: number one receiver suspended for six games and his number

262
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:22,239
Speaker 1: two receiver knocked out of Game one three plays in.

263
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: And it looked shaky for a bit. And I told

264
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: you guys that I knew real like I guess insight

265
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: that that Chargers Week one game plan Xavier Worthy was

266
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: the ePIE center of it, and him being knocked out

267
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: three plays in threw everything off. But this, the fatalism

268
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: surrounding the Chiefs from almost everyone else in the media

269
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: was And I don't want to be a scold and

270
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to be more annoying than I naturally am.

271
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 1: But it was embarrassing, and it was so fickle and

272
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:13,919
Speaker 1: so myopic, my opic, pardon me, as if they don't

273
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 1: have a Hall of Fame head coach, a Hall of

274
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: Fame caliber decoordinator, and the most talented quarterback to ever live,

275
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 1: that they couldn't figure it out. And it was as

276
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 1: if they were getting boat raced in these early games,

277
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,479
Speaker 1: or as if they were playing terrible teams and losing.

278
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: Neither were true. Now, I want to make this clear.

279
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: I don't think the Chiefs are, you know, quote fully back.

280
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 1: If back means being the highest scoring team in the league,

281
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that's who they're going to be. I

282
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: don't think the Chiefs have solved all their issues. I

283
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 1: still think the running back room leaves a lot to

284
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: be desired, and their ability to get pressure on the

285
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: opposing quarterback without sending a blitz at the moment leaves

286
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: a lot to be desired. But you look, if you

287
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: going into the Baltimore game, if you looked around the AFC,

288
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: the only team that really you could say had no

289
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: holes to poke at it was the Chargers going into

290
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,919
Speaker 1: Week four, But they already were dealing with some potentially

291
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: mounting injuries that sadly, they dealt with more of during

292
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: Week four in a game they had no business losing

293
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: but lost, and so the Bills were undefeated. But the

294
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: Bills defense had looked shaky, and they they had and

295
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: have played three consecutive games against just bottom feeders. The

296
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: Ravens were given this huge benefit of the doubt despite

297
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: having the same record as the Chiefs, and then every

298
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: other team that had a good record, like the Steelers

299
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: or the Jags, you had real reason to be concerned about.

300
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 1: I didn't really sleep last night and then got up

301
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: this morning, took your sister to school, picked your mom

302
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: up from the gym. I don't know if I said

303
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,239
Speaker 1: ten words to either one of them. I then just

304
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: laid on the couch, which I never do in the mornings,

305
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 1: and tried to like take a nap. That didn't work.

306
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 1: You know how I can tell your mom knows I'm

307
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: in a teetering emotional place. I could probably, well, here's

308
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,320
Speaker 1: here's how I know that she knows and that she's empathetic,

309
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 1: because there were she's doing like a whole giant house

310
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: cleaning thing. Prior to I knew it her birthday. Well, no,

311
00:22:54,680 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: hold on there. Within the ninety second when I came downstairs,

312
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: there were three things I saw her do that she

313
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: had asked me to do previously, and she wasn't even

314
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: mad at me. Yep, I was like, oh, she legit

315
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 1: feels bad for me right now. She's like, she is

316
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,440
Speaker 1: really showing a real amount of empathy because I was

317
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: supposed to put those coffee cups away. I was supposed

318
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 1: to throw that backpack away. And she's doing all of it,

319
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: and she's doing with a smile on her face, which

320
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: means she has correctly clocked that I'm not doing great.

321
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: Hopefully this will be my Catharsis. Let's get to Monday

322
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: night football.

323
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 2: Shout out to Madre. So we saw what Trevor Lawrence

324
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 2: did to the Chiefs yesterday. It was also his twenty

325
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 2: sixth birthday, and he walked out of there with a dub.

326
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 2: What do you want to talk about first, your prince's

327
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 2: success or your chief's downfall in this game?

328
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 1: Okay, as much as I'd like to start with Trevor,

329
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 1: we have to start with the chief. And here's the

330
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: reason that game is so so much more upsetting than

331
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: the Charger game or the Eagle game, and so much

332
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: more upsetting than any recent memory regular season loss. One

333
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: thing about the Chiefs being the Chiefs is they simply

334
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: do not lose games like that. Now they get out played.

335
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: Sometimes the offense we've seen over the last couple of

336
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,120
Speaker 1: years get stuck in the mud. They you know, there

337
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: are ways that they can lose a game, and other

338
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: people panic or you know, talk about in what bad

339
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: shape the team is in, and I do not because

340
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: of the the full confidence that by the end of

341
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: the year Patrick will have figured stuff out, or the

342
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: team will get healthier or whatever it is. Losing a

343
00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: game like that last night, they don't blow two touchdown leads.

344
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 1: Every other team in the league mate, they don't. They

345
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: did last night. While the Chiefs don't blow teams out

346
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: the way the other excellent teams in football do over

347
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: the last few years, they just simply never beat themselves,

348
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 1: and yesterday they beat themselves. Yesterday is the first game

349
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 1: in four years the Chiefs have won the turnover battle

350
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: and lost the game. There have only been three games

351
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,439
Speaker 1: in the last four years where they have won or

352
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: tied the turnover battle and lost the game. Week one

353
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: against Detroit couple of years ago, the pick six Week

354
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: one against the Chargers. This year team turned it over,

355
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: and then this week with a pick six, and so

356
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 1: all of that just it. It's just a horrible loss.

357
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: All is right in the world again, Ye're pretty happy

358
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: this he's and it's just everything's back the way it's

363
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: and what is so gratifying about this is we don't

364
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: I thought the way this was going to go was

365
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 1: all the folks that wrote the Chiefs obituary three weeks ago,

366
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: we're going to have to answer for that commentary in

367
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: January instead, because of how even with the loss nine

368
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 1: days ago by the Chiefs, because of how the rest

369
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 1: of the league has looked and how Kansas City looked

370
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: on national TV Sunday night, all those folks have to

371
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: eat it immediately. We're not to Halloween yet, and they

372
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: all have to be like, all right, I'm dumb, you're right,

373
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. It's so good it's so much fun. And

374
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: the fact that they're winning this way with the offense

375
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 1: humming back to you're shocked when they don't get a

376
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: touchdown doing Patrick things and they don't have their best

377
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: offensive weapon not named Patrick Mahomes yet And then you

378
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: just you watch the rest of the league and and

379
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: we'll get to these games. But you watch the Broncos

380
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 1: do everything they can to try to lose to one

381
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 1: of the worst teams I've ever seen in the Jets.

382
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: You watch the Chargers do everything they can. Great play

383
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: at the end by the Chargers, but the Chargers struggle

384
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 1: with a Dolphins team that seems to actively hate each other.

385
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: You watch the Bills what they did last night, the

386
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 1: Eagles that are ripping themselves a part of the seams,

387
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: the Lions, we saw them play. And the other reason

388
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 1: I'm happy is, you know the one team, Demonsey, that

389
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: you can hold up next to the Chiefs right now

390
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: and be like, hey, what what are you what's the

391
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: what are you gonna say bad about this team? And

392
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, no, there isn't anything. The Bucks, the Bucks,

393
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: who are my pick going into the year. I'm feeling good.

394
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 1: I had to eat it a lot those first couple

395
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: of weeks. I had to come on here talk about

396
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: all these concerns. I had to listen to the great

397
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 1: my beloved Kevin Wilde's act like Andy Reid and Travis

398
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 1: Kelsey are not essentially family and worry about the fact

399
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: that Andy bumped Travis. I do all that, and less

400
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: than a month later, you know the other way, I

401
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: know we're back because we're back to the refs. We

402
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: are so the Chiefs are.

403
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 2: Bad about to say.

404
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: The level of whining I expected from some of the

405
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: media and certainly fans. But did you see Kirby Joseph

406
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: First team All Pro last year? Kirby Joseph for the

407
00:29:56,880 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions sent out twenty four tweets after the game

408
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: whining about the refs. Get it together, Detroit.

409
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 2: He's one safety study that came out was a study

410
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 2: that came on that screened.

411
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,440
Speaker 1: By the way, I have never seen Can I just

412
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: say something that that that UTEP I paid the eight

413
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: and here's so that UTEP study that, by the way,

414
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: no one has read. Everyone has just read the news

415
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: article about it. You know how I know because to

416
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: read that study you got to subscribe to that journal,

417
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: which either is going to cost a couple hundred bucks

418
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 1: or you can pay eighteen dollars for twenty four hour access.

419
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: Guess who paid the eighteen dollars for twenty four hour access.

420
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: This guy hand up. Guess who didn't everyone else. It's

421
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: one of the most ridiculous studies I've ever seen. The

422
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: too long, didn't read version of it is the Chiefs

423
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: have played the most play off games, and therefore their

424
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: opponents have been called for the most penalties. That like,

425
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: give you it is, but I don't even give it.

426
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: I don't care about that. I do care about high

427
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,479
Speaker 1: leverage spots. Again. The games are on TV. Thirty million

428
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: people watch him find Me, Find Me? The the call

429
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: we're all mad about. But I don't even want to

430
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: talk about it. I don't I'm gonna get I'm gonna

431
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,920
Speaker 1: get mad. That's not what today is for. It's not

432
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: for the idiots in El Paso. The so one Lion

433
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: safety took the loss so well he went on tweet storm,

434
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: tweeting out photoshops of Mahomes kissing a raft. The other

435
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: Lion's safety took the loss so well he hit Juju

436
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster in the face and now he's going to

437
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 1: have to miss a massive game against Tampa and then

438
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: goes in the locker room and I don't know if

439
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:05,239
Speaker 1: you guys watched that video, but it sure seemed like

440
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: he was about to cry while saying and I quote

441
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: they were bullying me out there, and the quote whim

442
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: what you were bullied out there? Is this Sunday night

443
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 1: football with the big bad Detroit Lions or the Great Recess?

444
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? You got bullied? Should Juju

445
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: have to sit by himself at lunch? Is Patrick gonna

446
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,840
Speaker 1: have to miss the not get a juice box tomorrow?

447
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: You got bullied. You're supposed to be the bullies. And

448
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: instead of being the bullies. On fourth and goal, to

449
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: set the tone on your first drive of the game

450
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: and handing the ball to David Montgomery from the six

451
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: inch line, you pop Jared Goff out wide on a

452
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: play because you're that you don't even know the rules

453
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: on and throw them a pass. You got bullied. That's

454
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 1: a bad look, buddy, That's a bad look. It's where

00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: or Virginia. Here are my snap takeaways from it. Okay, so, Patrick,

481
00:34:55,200 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 1: for just the second time all year made costly miss.

482
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: The pick that Lattimore got was at the time his

483
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: third pick of the year. Two of what the Jags

484
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: pick and the Latimore pick were, you know, bad throws

485
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:18,560
Speaker 1: and or bad decisions. And then all later in the

486
00:35:18,600 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: first quarter, for the second time all year, Patrick made

487
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 1: a great throat to Travis that Travis bobbled and got picked.

488
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: And because of that, the Commanders were able to hang around. Luckily,

489
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are back to being the Chiefs in full

490
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 1: and because of that, it flatly did not matter. They

491
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: had a drive in Demondsey, they had a drive in

492
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: this game that was one hundred and nineteen yard touchdown

493
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: drive because they got it started on the six and

494
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: they got penalties on it to where they had to

495
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 1: recoup those yards. And as I have been and screaming

496
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: from the mountaintops for the better part of two years.

497
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: All Patrick Mahomes needs is a competent offensive line and

498
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: a league average receiving corps, which now they have above

499
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: league average, and now they do have. Demon's a real

500
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: AFC playoff team gauntlet coming up Sunday at the Bills,

501
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: then a bye week, than at the Broncos, than home

502
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: for the Colts, and that will that three game stretch

503
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 1: will determine the AFC West. It will go a long

504
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 1: way to determining the AFC East for the Bills purposes,

505
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,320
Speaker 1: and it will go a long way to determining the

506
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:54,600
Speaker 1: number one seed in the AFC. And so I could

507
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: not feel better about where this team is right now.

508
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 1: And oh yeah, by the way, the defense has allowed

509
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,759
Speaker 1: seven points in the last two weeks. Let's get to

510
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: Bills Chiefs. All right, it's that time.

511
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: So the Bills won their Super Bowl against your Kansas

512
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 2: City Chiefs. Kansas City has heads into the by five

513
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 2: and four as the eight seed, and the Bills are

514
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: the favorite to win the one seed. How are you

515
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 2: how do you want to do this one? How are

516
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 2: you feeling? I mean, well, they did get the first one.

517
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 2: They got the first one, so now they'll get them

518
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 2: in the postseason.

519
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: If the user, I mean, that's that's the way it goes.

520
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: But I let me give Buffalo credit because I got listen.

521
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: I picked the Chiefs. I bet the Chiefs. I did

522
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: not think the Bills defense, even if the Chiefs had

523
00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: their typical regular season against Buffalo vanilla game plan, I

524
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: did not think the Bills defense would be able to

525
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 1: keep up with Kansas City. And not only they keep

526
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: up with Kansas City, they dominated most of that game,

527
00:37:57,200 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: and Josh played great and Patrick played really shaky. That

528
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: was the first game in Patrick's entire career he completed

529
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: less than fifty percent of his passes, and they pressured

530
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,480
Speaker 1: the Chiefs at will, and the Bills were the far

531
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: better team. It was a miracle. The Chiefs had multiple

532
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: possessions down seven in the fourth quarter, and that last

533
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: possession when McDermott chose to go for a field goal,

534
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 1: was coaching malpractice. You have to punt there, like the

535
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: going for that field goal and giving the Chiefs a

536
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,959
Speaker 1: short field when they're only going to have twenty three

537
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: or twenty two seconds if you punt is just insanity.

538
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:44,760
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe he did it, but set that aside,

539
00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: Buffalo steadied themselves. Buffalo stayed very alive for their division

540
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 1: as the Patriots have just a cake schedule moving forward,

541
00:38:55,840 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: and Buffalo ran the ball great, Josh was awesome, and

542
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: the defense, which was my concern with them, more than

543
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:11,839
Speaker 1: stepped up. So all of that is true. That can

544
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: be true, while it's also true that this does not

545
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: change my opinion one percent about what a Chiefs Bill's

546
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 1: playoff game could look like. And I thought the Bill's

547
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: young secondary players Cole Bishop and Xavier Hairston after the

548
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: game talking about the tells they saw on tape was

549
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: a big unforced error. Save that info, kids like, you're

550
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: probably going to have to play this team again, and

551
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: so listen. Kansas City has its work cutout form. But

552
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,840
Speaker 1: the whole if the playoffs started today thing is just

553
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: meaningless to me. The playoffs don't start today. They have

554
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: eight more games to play. If I now, did this

555
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: hurt their chances of winning the division? Sure do I

556
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: still right now? Would I still pick them to win

557
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: the division? I? Would? And I think that the Chiefs

558
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: are going.

559
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 2: To bass them as the Super Bowl favorites.

560
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they're the best team, and I don't know

561
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: how long we're going to talk Broncos Chiefs, and I

562
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 1: didn't want to not have time, and the people in

563
00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,760
Speaker 1: the chat saying, quit stalling and get to it, guys,

564
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 1: I am. I do I do about more live media

565
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: than at least sports media than anyone in the field.

566
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,439
Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I'm not in I certainly don't

567
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: do more media than everyone who does sports media if

568
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: you include their asinine and ridiculous political talk shows. But

569
00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:02,799
Speaker 1: when it comes to actual sports talk, I do quite

570
00:41:02,840 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: a bit. I'm not going to be able to run

571
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 1: from any story, and I certainly can't run from this one.

572
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: The Chiefs went to Denver and arguably their biggest regular

573
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: season game of Patrick's career, and got thoroughly outplayed and

574
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:35,239
Speaker 1: blew a more than winnable game multiple times, blew a

575
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:41,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter lead, and in that singular game, Bo Nicks

576
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: played better than Patrick Mahomes. That is what happened. I

577
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: could not have been more shocked watching a game than

578
00:41:53,880 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: I was watching that one. Because the Chiefs are healthy

579
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: for the most part. I know they don't have Pacheco.

580
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: The Chiefs right now are a healthier than average NFL

581
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,959
Speaker 1: team for this point the season. They were off a bye,

582
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:16,920
Speaker 1: they had full motivation, a lot of familiarity with that opponent,

583
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: and Patrick was off and the defense could not get

584
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 1: a stop when it mattered, and so on the offensive

585
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 1: side of things, first second play of the game, you

586
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,800
Speaker 1: have Xavier Worthy open for six. Yeah, it's a tough

587
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: throw because it's sixty yards in the air, but those

588
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: are the throws that you know partly made Patrick Mahomes.

589
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, he missed him. That would have been a

590
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: chance to just basically set the tone for the game.

591
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:06,759
Speaker 1: Immediately missed that opportunity. Obviously. You know they had a

592
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:15,480
Speaker 1: sequence right before the Patrick interception, and this might have

593
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 1: been the single biggest swing of the game. Patrick throws

594
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 1: a little swing pass to Kareem Hunt. He gets down

595
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 1: to the two yard line. They're gonna have first and

596
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 1: goal from the two. Juwan Taylor the illegal formation lined

597
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: up too far back. Instead of first and goal from

598
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: the two, it becomes first and fifteen. Two plays later,

599
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: Patrick makes a terrible throw, and instead of at least

600
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 1: being without the penalty, it's probably gonna be thirteen to

601
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: six with the penalty, it still should be at least

602
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:00,920
Speaker 1: nine to six throws a pick, Denver dry down and scores.

603
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: Despite all that, Kansas City fights back, scores a couple touchdowns,

604
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:13,320
Speaker 1: takes the lead, has the ball in the fourth quarter

605
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:17,439
Speaker 1: with a lead, go down, score a touchdown, game over

606
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:24,480
Speaker 1: three and out, then gets the ball back, tie game

607
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: four minutes perfect, not going to cover the three and

608
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: a half, but still drive down the field, kick a

609
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: field goal, win the game three and out. And then

610
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, first drive of

611
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 1: the game, first play sack, have them in second and sixteen,

612
00:44:48,440 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: which turns into third and seven, and give it up.

613
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 1: Later in that drive, have them in third and eleven

614
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: outside a field goal range, and give it up. And

615
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 1: on the final drive of the g game, after those

616
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 1: two offensive three and outs, you instantly have bon knicks

617
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: in third and fifteen and you can't get a pass rush,

618
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 1: and you give up a twenty yard completion. Three plays later,

619
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: it's third and six, still not in field goal range,

620
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:30,920
Speaker 1: and you give up a seven yard completion. Denver made

621
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 1: the high leverage plays, Kansas City did not, and Denver

622
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:43,479
Speaker 1: now is a stranglehold on the division. And I can

623
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: think what I want and still think about bone Nicks

624
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 1: and his long term viability as a franchise quarterback. But

625
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is on Sunday, he played,

626
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:03,480
Speaker 1: in my opinion, the best game of his career in

627
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: the second biggest game of his career. The only game

628
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: that would have been bigger is the playoff game, and

629
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:12,280
Speaker 1: he was excellent. Excellent might be strong. He was good.

630
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: They are five and five. Obviously, if they go seven

631
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 1: and oh, they're a lock for the playoffs. And at

632
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: seven and oh they actually would have a chance to

633
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: come all the way back and win the division. But

634
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: it would be and even though they're favored in every

635
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: game remaining, given the fact that they're five and five,

636
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: just sitting here saying they're gonna rip off seven straight

637
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: would be overly optimistic, even for me. But seven and

638
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 1: oh definitely gets them in. Six and one, which would

639
00:46:56,719 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: put them at eleven and six almost assuredly gets them in.

640
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 1: But five and two probably does not. And that is

641
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 1: the thing that I think, if we're gonna have an

642
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 1: honest conversation about where the Chiefs are, what has to

643
00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 1: be acknowledged is they probably only have one more loss

644
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 1: to play with, barring a true collapse by the Jags

645
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: or the Chargers. We start with the Chiefs saving their season,

646
00:47:55,200 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: because while they would not have been mathematically eliminated, and

647
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,799
Speaker 1: I probably would have even convinced myself, well, if they

648
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:08,799
Speaker 1: just go six and zero down the stretch, they'll make

649
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs, which what is true. By the way, eleven

650
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: wins almost assuredly will get a man and five and

651
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 1: six they would have still been alive. For eleven wins,

652
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: that would have been a season ending loss. Dominating the

653
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 1: time of possession, dominating the yardage battle, and just not

654
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: making championship plays would have signaled that this Chiefs team

655
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: simply doesn't have the juice of Chiefs teams in years past. Thankfully, however,

656
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: they are the Chiefs. They do still have Patrick Mahomes

657
00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 1: and Chris Jones and Andy Reid, and despite fumbling inside

658
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:03,799
Speaker 1: the five yard line while trailing by eleven in the

659
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, they then played perfect defensive football, good but

660
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:17,720
Speaker 1: not great offensive football, and it was enough to potentially

661
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 1: derail is probably too strong, but really throw a wrench

662
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 1: in this magical Indie season and give Kansas City a

663
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: chance to in forty eight hours be for the first

664
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: time or just the second time all year two games

665
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 1: above five hundred really have their head above water and

666
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: be able to have the many buy take a deep

667
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 1: breath before a very difficult stretch run of final five games,

668
00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: two of which are cupcakes, the Tight and the Raiders,

669
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: and three of which are teams fighting for exactly what

670
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are fighting for, AFC playoff spots and AFC

671
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: playoff seeding with games against the Texans, Chargers and Broncos.

672
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: So how did they do it? Because right now they

673
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,280
Speaker 1: are still the ten seed. They went into the week

674
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: the nine seed, but they come out of the week

675
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 1: despite the win the ten seed because every because the

676
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: Texans won, the Chargers were off, the Jags won. We'll

677
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:35,839
Speaker 1: get to those games later. So how did they do it?

678
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 1: They did it because the defense absolutely shut down start

679
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:49,919
Speaker 1: to finish Jonathan Taylor in one of the most impressive

680
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: defensive performances any team has had all year. They allowed

681
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 1: twenty but seven of them were on a drive that

682
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 1: started at the three thanks to Patrick's interception, and so

683
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: to essentially hold the highest scoring, highest yardage, most efficient

684
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: offense in the NFL to thirteen points without forcing a

685
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 1: turnover is just a remarkable job by that Chiefs defense,

686
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:30,360
Speaker 1: and for the Colts to have the ball up eleven

687
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:38,840
Speaker 1: and go run, pass pass, and then have the ball

688
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 1: up three and go pass, pass, pass, and then have

689
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: the ball up three again and go pass pass pass,

690
00:51:54,320 --> 00:52:00,800
Speaker 1: before you go to overtime and you go pass, run, run.

691
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:08,200
Speaker 1: It's just it is a testament to the fact that

692
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs defense was able to convince the Colts by

693
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of this game, you're simply not going

694
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 1: to get Jonathan Taylor going. But it also and it

695
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: also was a testament to the fact that the Chiefs defense,

696
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: right or wrong, simply said Daniel Jones, go ahead and

697
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: beat us. We don't think you can, and he couldn't.

698
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 1: And that gave the Chiefs offense and Patrick just enough

699
00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: bites at the apple that they were able to overcome

700
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: a really sloppy game, not just the turnovers, but the

701
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:59,240
Speaker 1: red zone inefficiency, the missed open guys, and the hurky

702
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:08,919
Speaker 1: jerking nature of the offense. And Rashi Rice in the

703
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: second half of that game, really, for the first time,

704
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:19,439
Speaker 1: maybe since his suspension, certainly since his first game back

705
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: from the suspension, looked like the player that we saw

706
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 1: at the end of his rookie year, and the beginning

707
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:29,560
Speaker 1: of last season before he got injured, which is just

708
00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:36,879
Speaker 1: a dynamic, elite yard after catch player. Xavier Worthy made

709
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: a huge play. Noah freaking Gray made a catch while unconscious,

710
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: which is still one of the more remarkable feats of

711
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: this NFL season, and the Chiefs offense did just enough

712
00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: against the lou Anarumo Colts defense to where they're now stabilized.

713
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:10,279
Speaker 1: By the way that is now four consecutive wins by

714
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 1: Patrick against lou Anarumo, his alleged kryptonite four wins in

715
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: a row. After losing the first three games he faced

716
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: against him, He's now one four straight. But the story

717
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: of the game is the defense. The fact that the

718
00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 1: Colts had thirteen to three and outs all year going

719
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 1: into that game, which is remarkable, and I don't know

720
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: how many they had total in the game, but I

721
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: do know they had four straight to end the game.

722
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:57,520
Speaker 1: And Chris Jones, who has been I think it's fair

723
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: to say underwhelming this year, picked a hell of a

724
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: time to make his biggest impact. Think about upgrading me

735
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are a rough spot. You've always said, with

736
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 2: the combination of Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, that they've

737
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 2: always had a shot. But now your Chiefs are six

738
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,480
Speaker 2: and six in two games out of the Wildcard, not

739
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:51,520
Speaker 2: two games out of the Arrowhead Invitational. With the Wildcard, yep, yeah,

740
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 2: they have none of the key tie breakers with the

741
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:55,240
Speaker 2: head to add teams.

742
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: How were are you at the state the Chiefs are

743
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 1: in right now? I mean, you've got to be really

744
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:08,160
Speaker 1: concerned that the only way they guarantee themselves a spot

745
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 1: in the playoffs is by winning out. And I am listen,

746
00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:17,520
Speaker 1: some folks are it is not a mathematical certainty that

747
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 1: winning out gets them in, but winning out gets them in,

748
00:56:22,200 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 1: and so they they are alive and the AFC to me,

749
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: does feel as wide open as it has at any

750
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 1: point in my life, maybe since eight, the year Brady

751
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:44,839
Speaker 1: went down with an injury, and it wasn't a great

752
00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning year, and so certainly the most wide open

753
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:52,600
Speaker 1: it's been in more than a decade. So if they

754
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 1: were to get hot, play their best football, get in,

755
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: I think that they would be immediately the Vegas favorites

756
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:07,719
Speaker 1: to win the conference. The problem is getting in is

757
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: going to be very difficult because of those tiebreakers they

758
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 1: don't have that you mentioned now. If they were to

759
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 1: beat Houston and then the Chargers, which are their next two,

760
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 1: then maybe they could lose to Denver and sneak in

761
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 1: at ten and seven because they would have a tiebreaker

762
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: over the Colts, tiebreaker over the Ravens which won't matter,

763
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: and a tiebreaker over Houston. Maybe there would be a

764
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: path there, But the only certain path is winning out,

765
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:54,560
Speaker 1: and right now it is very difficult to trust this team.

766
00:57:55,640 --> 00:58:00,240
Speaker 1: Even though Patrick's had at least a five game winning

767
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: streak every year of his career, it is very difficult

768
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:07,440
Speaker 1: to trust this team to win five straight because quite simply,

769
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: they can't get off the field, and this was a

770
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: problem in Week one against the Chargers, it was a

771
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: problem against Josh Allen, it was a problem against bow Knicks,

772
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: and it was a huge problem against Dak Prescott and

773
00:58:27,960 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys, where historically what the Chiefs defense would

774
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:44,280
Speaker 1: do really well is one good run stop on a

775
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 1: drive to put you in second and nine, one forced

776
00:58:50,680 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: in completion to put you in third and nine, and

777
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:59,120
Speaker 1: then dial something up to get you off the field.

778
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: All game long and all season long, this team has

779
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 1: been forcing third and longs and then been totally unable

780
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: to get off the field. And that is why despite

781
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: Patrick playing at the level that he is, and he

782
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 1: was brilliant on Thursday, and he's currently he's third in

783
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 1: the league in yards, fourth in the league in touchdowns,

784
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 1: for second in the league in QBR, the ESPN stat,

785
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 1: first in the league in the nerd stat that I

786
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: don't love EPA. He's having an awesome year, but poorly

787
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 1: time turnovers by the Chiefs in previous games, and the

788
00:59:56,600 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: total inability all season long, aside from the Colts fourth

789
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: quarter against the Colts to make impact plays on defense

790
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 1: might wreck the season. It's very precarious. It's the most precarious.

791
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 1: It's ever been in Kansas City. There's no getting around that. Now.

792
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 1: With that said, I know myself and I don't think

793
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 1: it will be unreasonable or irrational that if if they

794
01:00:41,320 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: win Sunday, and I'm telling you right now with that

795
01:00:44,760 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 1: offensive line situation, Chiefs minus three and a half are

796
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:49,560
Speaker 1: not going to be one of my picks this week.

797
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:57,400
Speaker 1: If they win Sunday, then I will feel like, all right,

798
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: beat the Chargers now next week and you're gonna go

799
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:06,479
Speaker 1: to another super Bowl. That's how all feel I will.

800
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 1: I feel like they're a win away from being a

801
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 1: win away. If that makes sense. Yeah, that makes sense.

802
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 1: And so I I have not my hope. I have

803
01:01:22,040 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: not given up hope or given up belief, but my

804
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:34,280
Speaker 1: confidence has been shaken because it should be. The Chiefs

805
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 1: are six and seven demos.

806
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's grim. They have lost now four of their

807
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 2: last five. After that game with Houston. This is the

808
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 2: first time I think it kind of looked like the

809
01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 2: cold was affecting the Chiefs. O. Lione was cook, Kelsey

810
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 2: had some drops, Rice had some drops. Mahomes was limping around.

811
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 2: Is there any type of silver lining or any type

812
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:58,919
Speaker 2: of hope that you're holding on to after those last

813
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 2: game through the end of the season.

814
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 1: All right, Well, listen, the hope is like, do they

815
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: have a path to the playoffs? And the answer is

816
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 1: yes technically, but and the simplest way to explain their

817
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:18,200
Speaker 1: path to the playoffs and then we'll get into what has happened,

818
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: But let me just get this out of the way.

819
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: They have to go four and oh home Chargers at Titans, home,

820
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 1: Broncos at Raiders. The Colts can't go three and one.

821
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 1: Not worried about that. They're they're they're I mean, they're

822
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:42,720
Speaker 1: thinking about starting Philip Rivers. So the Colts part of it,

823
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 1: to me is easy because the Colts have Seahawks, Niners, Jags, Texans,

824
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 1: So the the let's just say the Colts are out

825
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:59,320
Speaker 1: and then the Chargers have to go either ohero and

826
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: four or one in three, with one of the losses

827
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: being to Denver in week eighteen. The simplest way to

828
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: look at can the Chiefs make the playoffs is they

829
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 1: have to beat the Chargers this weekend. They then have

830
01:03:17,840 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: to beat the Titans, the Broncos, and the Raiders, and

831
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: the Chargers have to then lose to Denver in week

832
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:34,160
Speaker 1: eighteen and to either the Texans or the Cowboys in

833
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 1: week sixteen seventeen. If that happens, the Chiefs make it.

834
01:03:39,160 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs lose. Chiefs eliminated, Patrick injured.

835
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,560
Speaker 2: One of the weirdest, saddest reasons that I've had to

836
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 2: do for this show. It was very strange. Chiefs eliminated

837
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 2: from the playoffs after the loss of the Chargers, Patrick

838
01:03:50,240 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 2: Mahomes with the torn ACL and LCL. They're done. Yes, Jayson,

839
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:56,480
Speaker 2: you said that this was the end of a chapter

840
01:03:56,880 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 2: or in the yeah chapter.

841
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: So I'll get into that part in a second. First,

842
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 1: I want to say this, this is pro football, and

843
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: this Yes, this is my hometown team, and yes I

844
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 1: have a personal relationship for with Patrick, and so Andy's

845
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:24,240
Speaker 1: the face of the league and one of the defining

846
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 1: players in league history. All of those things make this

847
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: extra gutting in the short term, and we'll see what

848
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: it means in the long term. But I don't want

849
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 1: to overstate the how do I put this, because the

850
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 1: devastation of the moment is real. The sympathy or empathy

851
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: that folks should have for me, or for Chiefs fans

852
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:14,080
Speaker 1: or whatever right now, I think that's overstated, because this

853
01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 1: is pro football, and this happens. And it was the

854
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs turn to have the year from hell, and it

855
01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: was sadly Patrick's turned to roll craps and he was

856
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 1: fighting through a knee injury. The last few weeks. He

857
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: was on the injury report the last few weeks. You

858
01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: saw him laboring. We said after Week one, man, he

859
01:05:42,640 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 1: sure ran a lot and sure took a lot of hits.

860
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: And there's a tax to all of it. There just is.

861
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:56,320
Speaker 1: And there is a cost to the twenty game seasons.

862
01:05:56,360 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: There is a cost to the offensive line injury. There

863
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 1: is a cost to Patrick's refusal to sit out a

864
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:10,440
Speaker 1: game when his knee was obviously bothering him. There is

865
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 1: a cost to the Chiefs being in must win, gotta

866
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 1: have it elimination games this early in the season. You

867
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: extend your body, you extend plays, you put yourself out there,

868
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 1: and this happens. This is not I am sick for Patrick.

869
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm sick for myself, but I'm also the Patriots and

870
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:37,479
Speaker 1: their fans watch Tom Brady go down the first week

871
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:41,280
Speaker 1: of a season. The Colts and their fans watched Peyton

872
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:44,800
Speaker 1: Manning miss a whole year with a neck injury. The

873
01:06:44,840 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 1: Packers and their fans watched Pete Aaron Rodgers knocked out

874
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 1: for half a season with a snapped collar bone, like

875
01:06:53,680 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens twice have had Lamar Lateney get hurt and

876
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: never come back. The Bengals and Joe Burrow have had

877
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 1: multiple seasons derailed by the guy getting hurt. Like this

878
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: is pro sports and this sport in particular, and so

879
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: I I am trying to balance how much it sucks

880
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: that Patrick is going through this, how much the reality

881
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 1: of We now have a line of demarcation in Patrick's

882
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 1: career that's going to be before and after the ACL

883
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 1: and we're going to see how he recovers from it,

884
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: how he attacks it, how it changes for good or

885
01:07:49,280 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 1: for bad, the player that he is, and I and

886
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: I can recognize that and do me a favorite. Guys,

887
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:14,840
Speaker 1: don't put questions in the rundown near the top of it. Sorry,

888
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 1: this is a production note while we're doing it. It's

889
01:08:17,600 --> 01:08:26,599
Speaker 1: good I lose my train of thought and I can

890
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:30,759
Speaker 1: recognize all of that while also not feeling like woe

891
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 1: is me is appropriate. This has been as good of

892
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:43,599
Speaker 1: a seven year run as any football fan base has

893
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:52,439
Speaker 1: ever gotten seven years of conference championship games, five Super

894
01:08:52,479 --> 01:08:57,320
Speaker 1: Bowl appearances, three Super Bowl victories that you can put

895
01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 1: it up against anything any team has done in the

896
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: history of the sport. This seven years matches any seven

897
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: years the Patriots had, any seven years the Niners in

898
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: the eighties had, and the Steelers in the seventies is

899
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: a weird one because they won four super Bowls, but

900
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:21,200
Speaker 1: they didn't get to the conference championship game every year,

901
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 1: and they didn't get to five super Bowls. That's a

902
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 1: tomato tomato thing. You can say that one was better,

903
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:34,320
Speaker 1: but it's at least in the argument. And now the

904
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:46,639
Speaker 1: Chiefs received back into football general population and then see

905
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 1: if they can emerge once again. And I hate that

906
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 1: I have talked about this comp so much and now

907
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 1: it is even more apropro apropos. But you guys have

908
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:07,639
Speaker 1: heard me whenever we have done the Brady Mahomes career stuff,

909
01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 1: talk about in his eight years a starter, Tom blew

910
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 1: out his knee and then that team had its only

911
01:10:19,320 --> 01:10:23,920
Speaker 1: real low. Obviously, they missed the playoffs the year Tom missed.

912
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: They still won eleven games, by the way, which is

913
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:29,559
Speaker 1: shout out to how unbelievable the seven pats and eight

914
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 1: Pats were as a roster, and then in two thousand

915
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:39,120
Speaker 1: and nine Tom wasn't his best. They won ten games

916
01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 1: and got annihilated in round one of the playoffs. And

917
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 1: in twenty ten Tom was exceptional. That team was fourteen

918
01:10:47,280 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 1: and two, and then they lost one of the weirdest

919
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 1: playoff games ever to Mark Sanchez and the New York Jets.

920
01:10:53,600 --> 01:11:00,040
Speaker 1: And then in twenty eleven they started their run and

921
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 1: I don't know what is I here is as far

922
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:18,599
Speaker 1: as this not being what's the right way to put this?

923
01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:25,120
Speaker 1: In a weird way, I feel worse for Packer fans

924
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 1: with the Mica injury than for chief fans with the

925
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 1: Mahomes injury. In this regard, I was wrong about this team.

926
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 1: They didn't have it this year. And so had they

927
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 1: been eleven and three in that game, and or I

928
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: guess ten and three because that was right? How do

929
01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 1: I have this right? I'm all scattered ten and three

930
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:04,719
Speaker 1: going into that game and had looked great. It was like, man,

931
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 1: this is another championship level team. I think this would

932
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 1: sting even more, but it was pretty clear it became

933
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 1: I came to terms with where this Chiefs team was

934
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:29,960
Speaker 1: about an hour and a half before Mahomes's injury, the

935
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:35,680
Speaker 1: final drive of the first half up thirteen to three,

936
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 1: letting the Chargers drive the length of the field the

937
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 1: combo platter of not being able to punch in the

938
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 1: Herbert interception and getting seven, and then later in the

939
01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:54,600
Speaker 1: second quarter allowing them to go the length of the

940
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: field in forty seconds to take what could have been

941
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:02,800
Speaker 1: a seven teen to three or at the very least

942
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 1: thirteen to three, or worst case scenario, thirteen to six

943
01:13:07,400 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 1: lead into halftime in a must win home game, letting

944
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 1: the Chargers, whose offense right now is not very good,

945
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 1: go the length of the field to make it thirteen

946
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:24,639
Speaker 1: to ten, and then watching the Chiefs offense do nothing

947
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 1: the entire second half. They didn't have it, And so

948
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:34,680
Speaker 1: this was not the Chiefs leaving a man, left a

949
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 1: potential championship on the table because the quarterback got hurt.

950
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 1: They were not good enough this year, and I was wrong.

951
01:13:46,160 --> 01:13:48,679
Speaker 1: I talked a lot of shit, poked at a lot

952
01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:53,000
Speaker 1: of folks as soon as they looked like the Chiefs. Again,

953
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 1: that was a brief mirage in who this seam was

954
01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 1: this season, and I do feel demonse that they are

955
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 1: about to have a mirror held up to some of

956
01:14:09,320 --> 01:14:18,639
Speaker 1: their structural issues that Patrick was holding together over these

957
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:21,519
Speaker 1: last three weeks of the year. Because I think they

958
01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:25,599
Speaker 1: are going to lose to the Tennessee Titans. I think

959
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:31,640
Speaker 1: they are going to get beat up by the Denver Broncos. OK,

960
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:40,360
Speaker 1: and then we'll see Week eighteen Raiders Chiefs in Vegas.

961
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 1: You know who shows up for that game. But I

962
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:48,680
Speaker 1: think with these o line injuries, this lack of a

963
01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 1: running game, and one of the bigger disappointments of this

964
01:14:55,160 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 1: season is the lack of development from the wide receivers,

965
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:15,120
Speaker 1: I think you're going to see what this offense looks

966
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:19,679
Speaker 1: like with bad quarterback play. Because I understand Mahomes numbers

967
01:15:19,680 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 1: after the bye. The Cowboys game notwithstanding, were ghastly. The

968
01:15:27,240 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 1: Cowboys game is the one thing propping them up. I

969
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:35,479
Speaker 1: think you're about to see what actual bad quarterback play

970
01:15:35,520 --> 01:15:38,799
Speaker 1: would look like with the team right now with its issues,

971
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:44,200
Speaker 1: and I do think that there needs to be some

972
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 1: real soul searching is too strong, but some personal accountability

973
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 1: by everyone involved in the team, and hey, how do

974
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:08,880
Speaker 1: we make sure the next time Patrick takes the field

975
01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:15,439
Speaker 1: this team doesn't have as many glaring weaknesses as it

976
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:20,400
Speaker 1: had in twenty twenty five. And listen, it's hard. There

977
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:23,120
Speaker 1: is a reason only one team ever's gone to four

978
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:26,719
Speaker 1: straight Super Bowls. There's a reason only one team ever

979
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 1: has gone to more than seven straight conference championship games.

980
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:39,280
Speaker 1: There is a reason only three other teams ever had

981
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:44,600
Speaker 1: gone to three straight Super Bowls. What the Chiefs accomplished

982
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 1: was certain things were unprecedented, and certain things were only

983
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:55,720
Speaker 1: you know, had only been accomplished by one or two

984
01:16:55,760 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: of the other greatest dynasties ever. But you saw some

985
01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:11,479
Speaker 1: of the where of the late draft picks, of guys

986
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: not developing, of some a draft miss here, a free

987
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 1: agency missed there, a poorly timed injury there. And they

988
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:29,479
Speaker 1: couldn't run the ball, and they couldn't rush the passer

989
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:37,240
Speaker 1: all year long. And these receivers who I like, I

990
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:40,720
Speaker 1: think Rashid Rice has the ability to be excellent. I

991
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 1: saw him be exceptional for the second half of his

992
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 1: rookie season. I know the talent Xavier Worthy has. But

993
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:56,400
Speaker 1: those guys not developing into fully formed, legitimate man beating

994
01:17:56,439 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 1: wide receivers hurt this team a lot too. And so

995
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 1: those are the things that you address moving forward for

996
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:15,599
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and then you see what version of Patrick

997
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 1: we have when he comes back. I believe the type

998
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 1: of competitor and legendary athlete he is, that there is

999
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 1: a very good chance he comes back as a better

1000
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:40,680
Speaker 1: player as a player that if he especially if he

1001
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:49,479
Speaker 1: can't early on rely as much on his athleticism, is

1002
01:18:50,760 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 1: even more precise in the pocket and traditional drop back

1003
01:18:56,680 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 1: since then he's been the last couple of years, and

1004
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:03,719
Speaker 1: so I'm not worried about Patrick, and I would put

1005
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:08,519
Speaker 1: I understand it was a terrible injury and he tore

1006
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:14,599
Speaker 1: two ligaments. I would put all my money on him

1007
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,720
Speaker 1: being back for Week one next year. It's right at

1008
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:22,800
Speaker 1: nine months, and I think he'll do it. And what

1009
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:26,839
Speaker 1: will the team around him look like is the question
