The Kansas City Chiefs have dominated the AFC for the last six seasons. However, after their blowout loss, all saw, saw, saw, and the Super Bowls and the Philadelphia Eagles, you make some believe that their window may be over. Is there a team in the AFC that the Chiefs should be fearful of or that could stop them from getting back to the Super Bowl? What is more likely to happen is upcoming season, the Chiefs going back to the Super Bowl or the Chiefs not winning the division?
It's a crazy division. This is insane. And I read this as like, Nick would not be on. I have to put the question up like this.
As long as the Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes, I've been saying it for three years straight and people have doubted. All you got the receivers, Travis Kelsey getting old and he read. Like, no, bro, we're watching the best quarterback to ever play the game play in this era. And he's always going to be in Super Bowl contention.
I don't care how they play in a regular season. I don't care how good their division gets. None of that matters because Patrick Mahomes is that good. I don't care that the Raiders got better.
I don't care that this coaching, this division is the elite coaching division. They claim now that doesn't matter. What we've seen over the last two years, when people have counted Kansas City out and they still made the Super Bowl, win or loss, still made it there. Their teams in the AFC, like they still going to be like to the Bills, who probably is the most or Baltimore Kansas City still a boogeyman.
Like, y'all still have to beat Patrick Mahomes. I don't care how good y'all get. Y'all still got to go in playoffs and either to Arrowhead or him coming to your crib and feel comfortable in the thing that I can beat Patrick Mahomes. And I don't think no team in the AFC thinks that.
The Chiefs are still the favorites. I do. Well, okay. So I do feel like this.
I do feel like that armor of invincibility, the Kansas Chiefs no longer own that. However, I do agree, as long as Pat Mahomes is under center, you're always in contention. Same thing that Joe Burrell said with the Bengals, like, how long is it wrong? Well, if I'm the quarterback, we're going to be competing.
So I do agree there. Now, I do think that the division is harder. I do think they still win it, but I do think they do take more division losses. I don't think that they're the number one seed in the AFC next season.
You know what I'm saying? But are they going to make it? They want to see the division? Yeah.
They want to know. Yeah, because it looks like three games or four games or like two games. Two games. You know what I'm saying?
So they want to know one seed. Do I foresee that happening in the future? No, because I think the division is tough for that AFC West again with those head coaches that you name. All of those teams in the AFC West play like the way their head coaches want to play.
Right? We see Pete Carroll. Now, if you all heard all of the players talking about how much energy he got in this end of the third, if we know Pete Carroll, we're going to do, he won't run the ball. He won't want to know turnovers, which is why he got Geno.
And that defense is going to be better than what it was last year. That's going to be a tough out. Jay's going to be great for your team. So the question that we're talking about is, do the Chiefs for your people?
Is that what Grasky? No, not at all. Are they still going to be there as a week? Like, can you still pitch on me and as a playoff team?
Play off Super Bowl No. Of course. I mean, of course, this is like, as long as you got Jordan on the team, like you go and do something, you know what I'm saying? Even if you think that the pieces around him are not like what they should be.
The difference is that the Philadelphia Eagles formula is not is not replicable for a lot of teams because of cap and because of drafting as well. It's not about like, I mean, not even that just like you have to be incredibly deep in the defensive line. You got to have two really good wide receivers. You got to have a running back, have a historic season to be a running threat.
Just, you know, make the Chiefs look how we made them look. Like we had so many things in our favor that other teams simply just don't. Almost embarrassment of riches compared to what the Chiefs had. I mean, compared to what the, well, really the Chiefs do, but in terms of their competition, the Bengals, no defense.
Baltimore, still not fearing their skills positions in any way. Like the Andre Hopkins, they already saw him in practice every game with the Chiefs last year. And then I figured him otherwise they'd probably would have tried to resign. The Chargers, sure, you could say that they might get one or two games.
They might even sweep Chiefs in the regular season because of how the Chiefs margin of victory was so small in certain games last year. You know, miracle field goals, phantom calls, or whatever you want to say. But at the end of the day, when it comes down to it, if Andy Reed and Travis Kelsey and Patrick Mahomes have the ability to take it week by week in the playoffs, I just, it all comes down a brain trust. So much of sports is one off the field, and I mean that in every sense, but so much of sports is one off the field, especially with your exes and o's.
And when you have just such incredible minds that are in synergy like that with Kelsey, who's clearly top three, Tyler Nevin, Mahomes, clearly top five by most people, if not all, should be top three for all. But in the Andy Reed, you got to put him top top top 10 coach. So you have these things and then Spags is not going to be a slouch. He's going to be a slouch.
He's going to be a Hall of Fame as well. So you have Hall of Famers all across the board in synergy. You're never going to be discounted. It might be a tougher road, like I said, but if you look at their competition, they don't have what the Eagles had in the Super Bowl.
They don't have to say one part, they don't have that. So, you know, Josh Swet, all these people being able to rush for and get home every time. Who really has that? And I think that the Chiefs are going to be prepared for those type of, you know, copycats, because they drafted like it, in my opinion.
Well, I don't think nobody could copycat what Philly has been able to do as a chief. Whatever. It's like that the line is ridiculous, you know what I'm saying? And obviously they've had a couple of super highly rated players just fall to them in the draft.
And that's why they're delining their front seven is as dominant as they are. The Chiefs online still isn't good. They traded arguably their best old lineman this offseason to the Bears. You know what I'm saying?
I know they drafted a guy and they're moving somebody from inside outside, from guard to tackle. That being said, their weakness is still their weakness. And if they fly against that, oh, line, that line, that line is a weakness. And if they play against a team that has a first seven, that is ferocious.
Again, I don't think nobody has one as good as Philly. But if you play against the Rams or, you know, like some of these other squads, that's going to be an issue. And that's the reason why I think that, again, Spike, I agree with you as long as my home's in the quarterback, you got a chance. But I can't pencil them into the Super Bowl.
I'll pencil them into the playoffs. But the Super Bowl, I think in the AFC is why I open now. Would you pencil them into the division? Yeah.
I'm going to continue to pencil them in until somebody dethones them. Because I think my health helped me. They could beat them twice and win in division. Because the Broncos and the Chargers had 10 plus wins.
And we, I think you could pencil in the Raiders for three more wins than what they had last year. So it's going to be tighter naturally. But until one of those teams takes that step and is like, yo, we are better than you. I'm not going to pick against the Chiefs and the division.
Are the Raiders still hanging up my home's voodoo dolls? They still got those? What? I don't know what to do with that thing.
I don't know what to do with that thing. I don't know what to do with that thing. I don't know what the thing they had in my home's in the off season last year. And what was it?
It goes name. It goes name. In training. The black guy.
I can't think of his name. Don't mind back. If you're telling a black man. Yeah.
Tell me your peers. Yeah. Yeah. He carried out that bullshit.
He doing real coaching shit. You know what I'm saying? I didn't bullshit out of here. Yeah.
Look, Travis Kelsey is a year old man. Like he ain't the same guy. And he didn't do a lot of building out last year. Like people thought he was going to do like he showed up in some games.
But they didn't find a place for him. They still went to the Super Bowl. With Travis's decline and the reports are now. He's lost weight.
He should be quicker. He's leaning back into that workhorse mentality for his last one to two years. I think last year you just got kind of sidetracked with you know. He's been a regular school kid.
Yeah. Yeah. That's that. He's smart.
That ain't going to get it. Yeah. What do you mean? He's proposing.
He should be proposing. It's your problem. That's like what the reports about Xavier Worsley. He's got no, but again, I don't even think it matters.
I mean, it's good. Yeah. Anyway, he's good enough. Spags is good enough.
My home is good enough to wear. We keep these positions serviceable. Like we always got a chance. There's no other team in the AFC that I would say that for other than the Chiefs just because Patrick Mahomes is that good.
And we've seen him do it time after time. I know Baltimore's gotten better and I would expect Lamar Jackson to take that leap at some point. But I'm not confident in it. Just like I'm not confident in Josh Allen doing it.
And those are the two I would say closest contenders to him. And then the third one out would be the bingles with Burrow. And we see how that could go because of like how they were made. Breaking the sign of rookies like.
They got rookies opting out of contracts before they even start. No, no, no, that ain't gonna run down. So with that being said, as far as how organizations are being ran, unless there's some sleep between like like great or I can't even think. I don't even know in AFC who could like break through the ranks and let's can't award.
It's really good. No. I don't see your work. It would be like, it would have to be like the only thing that you would have, like going teams I see in order from fearing if you're the chief sphere the most, to the least, the chiefs I've always come the closest to beating you.
So I would say they are like number one on like the I'm sorry the Buffalo Bills are number one for the Chiefs just in terms of they've come the closest But we've always laid them at the end of the day. It's not like we're like so they're probably out of them at like a six or seven But what's more eh you know saying the likely you know money night, you know I'm saying step on the line Katie's told type shit That was cool But it's like I don't think if you're a chief that you look at that like well It was the first game of the season We were just kind of like trying to you know find our footing and if they see us mid-mid season or in the playoffs We got them we embarrassed them at home in Baltimore third what I want to reorganize that I would say second is Cincinnati But they're only off the virtue of their weapons and Joe Burrow third would probably be Baltimore And then everyone else is distant you probably throw like Pittsburgh in their fourth. That's how bad that is Like you know I would say you go into their own division Only because your own division is gonna know your tendencies right like and then again because they have they all four of those teams I fall off in coaches, you know, you know, they start painting You know, he Carol the other Harbaugh like to me and I agree it's those three teams and then it's a distant fourth I think the fourth would be one of those teams in it
