00:00I think we're getting to a point where you know we were talking about this during the game that
00:04there's going to be an argument and just a general discourse across the NFL in the offseason that
00:09it's not just the Chiefs as like the odds on favor at least to come out of the AFC like this
00:13opens up the opportunity for Lamar and the Ravens, Allen and the Bills, Burrow and the Bengals and
00:19then some of those other teams to make a move up the board to really challenge the Chiefs and
00:23I think when we're talking about Mahomes specifically as long as Andy Reid is there
00:27I full confidence that the Chiefs will do something but I think that they they need to
00:31find a solution at running back because they clearly don't have and and maybe it's just a
00:35factor like I said on the pregame show Pacheco's not fully healthy because if he were to be fully
00:39healthy this they will have a different offense but I almost want to say the Chiefs need to find
00:43ways to win in win in different ways it can't just be Mahomes because when they don't have a
00:48running game their offense doesn't do a whole lot and when they get uh you know Rice back as you
00:54said and Worthy's healthy whatever happens with Kelsey and I assume Juju won't be there and they
00:58bring in this receiver and and Hopkins leaves and etc etc they need to find two ways to win in
01:02different ways and it can't all be on Mahomes because it has to be a strong running game at
01:06least to start and then allowing Mahomes to have the creativity because he has time in the play
01:11action that's what I think will happen for the Chiefs. Yeah I think what was concerning today
01:15is that it truly was obviously from taking the quarterback out of it removing Patrick Mahomes
01:20it was one guy it was worthy that's it I mean Kelsey I guess by the end was okay went four for
01:2739 but after that I mean what was realistically what were you going to expect out of the you know
01:34corpses of DeAndre Hopkins and Juju Smith-Schuster and to some degree Hollywood Brown? I was I was
01:40expecting them to just play a part and this is kind of my take on the Chiefs coming into the
01:45season where I I had said on many shows where I did not expect Kelsey to have a huge year
01:49because he wasn't going to have to have a big year because they have so many weapons it's not
01:52just one player needing to do everything they can have okay a little bit Hopkins here a little bit
01:57of Juju here maybe some mainly worthy but then a little bit of Pacheco a little bit of Hunts and
02:02everyone does just enough to move the offense forward doesn't have to be reliant on one player
02:06that clearly didn't happen tonight and it was it had to be one player and that's what they need to
02:10fix they can't and any offense whether it's the Chiefs whether it's another team as well you know
02:15the Lions been so successful they have multiple options on offense that one player can bring in
02:20one game and then they can fall back to other options when they need to yeah they got to upgrade
02:24that wide receiver room yeah there was a point where the game was still kind of in play I think
02:28it was 24 nothing midway through the third quarter and it was fourth and three fourth and four right
02:33around midfield Kansas City went for it and they called the play for DeAndre Hopkins I mean I
02:37really are you serious you got a 40 year old wide receiver who couldn't beat a snail in a race and
02:43that's the guy you're going to call a play for with basically your life on the line they didn't
02:47get it and for all intents and purposes that really was the ball game so they got to upgrade
02:50that they got to get rice back hopefully he'll be better uh and fully recovered but even if he is
02:55you know they still need some weapons they got and they got to help the you know holes with the
02:59offensive line for sure
