The NFL is in TROUBLE if the Chiefs Continue This INSANE Pace!
If you went to bed immediately after the conclusion of Chief’s Commanders last night, you’ve missed two real big things. One is that you may have missed about 10 or 11 innings of World Series baseball of a game that you assumed was probably winding down when you went to bed. And today, our long national nightmare. Oh. Oh, it might be over. It’s been weeks. It’s been long weeks. But we are one step closer to the gamechanging reunion we’ve all been begging for since the moment the breakup was finalized. Folks, nothing’s official yet except for the fact that Mike Panel is back on the market. [Music] [Applause] Thank you, Cincinnati Bengals. I don’t know what you guys are doing exactly. It seems like they’ve got more roster spots than guys right now, but that’s fine by me. They’ve got their own problems. Mike Panell officially released by the Cincinnati Bengals today, opening up a door for a reunion there perhaps. Also, a little bit of lukewarm injury news regarding Isaiah Pacheco. Better than you would have thought the moment the hit was made. and a little worse than it looked uh as he was just excitedly shaking people because his ACL was still intact um after the uh the sideline diagnosis there. We’ve covered a lot of ground in the last 12 hours or so here, fellas. I guess what 16 hours expanded as you wish. Uh but Nate, I assume the vibes were quite high last night. Yeah. Um the the vibes were were fantastic. Um, I just want the Blue Jays to stop being cowards and stop taking fun away from us. Okay, pitch to this man. You dopes. Uh, you can call them cowards. You can’t call them dopes. I draw the line there. But smart. Is it smart? I don’t know. We could also I guess we have to pitch to Mookie Betts and Freddy Freeman. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, every single guy is making a hund00 million deferred. So, I don’t guys He’s the greatest baseball player I’ve ever seen. Pitch to him. Like, hey, you got to go through him to win the World Series. Literally, I think you I think you answered the uh the question as to why they’re not with the first part of that. And that’s the thing that’s unique about baseball is you really can just say, “No, thank you.” Like, you are allowed to do that. first base. Don’t even Don’t even get into the batters box. Go. The only the only time that that guy can mercilessly chase you down is when he starts the next game is the pitching. If they’re pitching for that team, their bullpit is gone and he’s next. Yeah. Wild. Anyway, baseball was fun last night. We’re not here to talk about baseball, Seth. I imagine Seth woke up this morning and saw that 18 innings of baseball had been played. Oh, interesting. And then he just said, “Cool.” Yeah. Yes. That that that was the extent of it. But the vibes were high at Arrowhead. Yeah. I mean, a lot of guys were talking about Shani in the Chiefs locker room. What do you want me to say, man? He had four extra base hits. And uh because Andrew’s from uh Los Angeles, uh you know, Pat was saying uh you know, some funny things to him in the locker room just about like, “Hey, are the you know, can’t you can’t lose when your guys just on base constantly.” Um but yeah, like in terms of just like the defense’s attitude about how normal it is what they’ve done over the last three weeks, I think it’s quite striking. like Mike Panel just being like, “Yeah, this is what they do. They throw me the football, I catch it, you know, we we we go um definitely Mike Dana, not Mike Panel there, right? It would be crazy. Mike Pell totally Mike Pell was in the locker room last night. Nate, that’s bad reporting by you to hold that till that would be a mix of reporting. Dang it. There’s too many mics.” Anyway, Mike Dana was saying this. Mike Dana was saying this, guys. I By the way, I just ate a bunch of kids candy. Uh cuz that’s where we are in our yearly Lords calendar. So you don’t say I’m a little I’m a little sugared. Now look like Dana says, “Look, I I just Yeah, I mean it’s what we do. Uh you know, the fact that Nick Bolton’s like, “Yeah, we had some coverage busts and then we stopped doing that and we were great.” you know, um there’s so much of just like nonchalant. Yeah, this is what we do. Ah, seven could have been better, you know, could have could have held him, could have shut him out, you know, could have had our second shut out of the game of the season. I mean, look, uh on offense, it’s a lot of fun for those guys. I think, uh Trey Smith was in a good mood. We did see him in the locker room uh you know last night. Um trying to get a try to get a sense of like you know how fun it is right now for Kareem Hunt to just be like I’m the best I had to inform Kareem Hunt to his face. Sir, you are the best shortage running back in all the NFL. That is just a fact. Like just an absolute fact. Sir, your comments. and he’s like, “Oh, well, this is that’s cool.” Yes. Yes, it is cool. You are you are doing the thing that Marcus Allen was so good at throughout much of the mid 90s. Uh but yeah, just a just a you know, just a whole hum. I guess we’ll go out there and do our jobs for a second half after one of the most eccentrically weird uh first halfs of Chiefs football games where of course we all know they only play weird games but boy they really ratcheted up right after the coin toss. I I think that the the splitting into the halves of this game is probably the most interesting part of it at least for me because we have seen we’ve seen some really good games recently. We’ve seen a bad middle eight against the Jags. We’ve seen slow start that they never fully pick up from. And that’s not what happened here. This was a weird first half and a slow sputtering start on the scoreboard front at least. And in the second half, you saw those that that the momentum of some of those drives that was already working, you saw those turn into points and the defense just didn’t let anything impactful happen from that point forward. So Seth, I’m just going to roll straight from the vibes into the offense. You’ve already written about it in the Chief in the North newsletter. I think a shockingly small number of typos considering when it was published. Uh I I I I give you a hard time when you have um typos overexpected. This is a typos underexpected uh story for you. I believe it’s a pretty long one and you put a lot of words down and I understood most of them. Um, but but take me through I I think I just touched on one already there in terms of maybe a misconception about how the Chiefs offense started the game and and what what really stood out to you about what they’ve begun to do here these last few weeks. Absolutely. Um, I mean, it’s really easy to talk about, oh, they should have done this, that, and the other thing on offense in the their first two drives. They turned the ball over. Like that’s it. like sometimes it’s like you know that um and you everyone’s going to have to be patient with me. Um I got sick a couple weeks ago and now it’s settled in my lungs because that’s what happens to me with everything. Yep. Okay, so we’ve got Seth on Nyquil and Nate on Skittles. I’m going to go to hell. No, no, no, no, I’m not sick anymore. I just still have this cough. And so there’s, you know, that the the the bell curve joke where it’s like when you don’t know anything about something, then you know a little bit and then you know a lot, it brings you back to place. It really is, you know, turnovers. Like if you know one thing about football, who won the turnover battle will probably tell you who won the game. And then there’s the bell curve of so many things. Seven in in I have a great stat to back up your point about Andy Reid teams when it comes to turnovers. Are you ready, sir? I’m ready. I honestly I don’t think he was. But had I made I made my point yet? I had even I wasn’t even aware I’d made a point. He’s backing it up. No, no, no, no. This is He’s on Skittles. Look, look, man. I’m I’m blocking for you and then and then I’m going to let you leak out like Travis Kelce, okay? under Andy Reid when the Chiefs committed multiple turnovers. This is via ESPN’s research. Uh the Chiefs are 35 and 25. That is bizarre. All other teams in that time span since 2013 have a losing record. That is is unsurprising that all teams have a losing record. I am shocked that I I’m I’m shocked that they have an above 500 record on that. That’s incredible. And yeah, that that’s that’s amazing. So, with how we view Well, you know how how Seth So, I’m about to tell you I’m going to I’m going to I’m not going to bury the lead. I’m going to tell you the Chiefs offense was actually moving the ball pretty decently even in the first half. Seth, how come they only put up seven points? Well, cuz they turned the ball over twice. That’s the bell curve. Well, turnovers are super important. Then you have all this other stuff where there’s more football knowledge than you could ever even think of. This room, this stadium full of interconnected levers that contain so much beauty, so many things that are fun like a Rashid Rice touchdown that’s set up by so many things that I’m sure we’ll get a chance to talk about. And then you you get all to that and it’s like, man, so turnovers, huh? cuz that really it doesn’t matter if you’re moving the ball great if you just give the ball back to the opposing team when you’re reaching or are in scoring position. So that’s that’s how you move the ball pretty well and don’t put up points is you throw a turnover when you’re already you throw a pick when you’re already in field goal range which by the way back shoulder throws probably not to Hollywood Brown Pat love the idea maybe you know Kelsey Guju Rashi not Hollywood Brown cuz that was so I like of Mahomes two picks by the way one and a half like one half is on him he shouldn’t have thrown that the corner was looking was in good position but like Brown is not a back shoulder throw guy. He’s made some contesting catches this year, but he’s not a back shoulder throw. He was like actively fading away, which is literally the opposite of what you want on a back shoulder. Um, so they they were moving the ball well. They when when Kelsey had his drop, had he caught that, you’ve got first down. You’re probably around the 42, maybe the 40 if he, you know, you know, pulls guys forward with him a little bit. You’re you’re basically in scoring range already. you can keep moving, but instead the other team gets the ball, throws a pick to Brown, even if it falls incomplete. Yeah, that’s probably three points because, as we talked about last week, Harrison Buter is back to kicking the ball very well and dropping down on one knee right afterward, which is not good form and probably hurts. Um, but he’s kicking the ball accurately again. Sorry, dude. I That’s I hope your knee feels okay. I don’t know what to tell you. Job security. Yeah, you well he had to do it. That that was not tenable what was happening. So they were moving the ball well. And then that got me to thinking about like the turnover on the goal line against the Jags, which is the only reason they didn’t put up 35 in that game and win, which I’m still deeply annoyed they lost that game because they’ve got a murderers row in their next three games and they kind of got to go two and one if they don’t want to be perfect down the stretch. But they they you have a play like that where that kills a really promising drive. You have a pick against the Eagles that kills a promising drive. You there’s just been multiple things that have happened where good drives didn’t result in points. And that got me to thinking, you know, we we people that really know the Chiefs that are paying attention know that they their offense kind of turned it around. It had halftime against the Giants. I think the NFL as a whole is like, “Oh, in the Ravens game, things really started picking up.” second half against the Giants is when it started. And so I went back and I looked at what they’ve done on drives they’re actually trying to score which takes out like Gardner Mu. It takes out basic a full fourth of the Raiders game if not more. Takes off a drive against the the Ravens takes out that last drive against the Commanders. And what I found here, the offense is somehow actually better even than what people realize it’s been because the rate stats, which are good stats, you know, EPA per play, DVOA, which does account for garbage time, but still doesn’t entirely leave it out. All of that, it it doesn’t show that what’s happening when they’re trying to score. When they’re trying to score, they are moving the ball incredibly well, incredibly efficiently. And so that’s what I looked at on the Chief North newsletter. And then there’s just a couple fun things here. And I don’t know if we want to be uh Commander specific, but we’ve got 41 drives that aren’t garbage time drives since the second half of the the Giants game. Of 41 drives, you got 22 touchdowns. That is that that’s above 50% touchdown rate. You’ve al you’ve got another five field goals, which I know people love touchdowns over field goals, but if you averaged three points per drive as a team, you’d probably lead the league in scoring. Correct. You actually would lead the league in scoring. I think most people would say 2.5 points per possession is like exquisite. Yeah. Right. So, you got 22 touchdowns, five field goals, and then you got another missed field goal that was a 56 yard, but they they were in range. I think Buter kicking the way he is now probably hits that. And so you have that, but then you’ve got three interceptions, seven punts, uh, one end of half, one end of game, one turnovers, turnover down. They are averaging 6.3 yards per play, which would be right near the top of the league. They are just moving the ball incredibly well. And people aren’t even realizing, people are talking about, oh, the Chiefs offense looks back. It looks good. But the rate stats, as good as they’ve been, aren’t even quite telling the whole story because they’ve been annihilating teams lately that you get at least one garbage time drive, if not, you know, a garbage time quarter and a third against the Raiders. And so it was really cool to watch. And even with as janky as things looked at times against the Commanders who really started the game well, um um Mark Bullock has a Substack breaking down the film for for the Commanders and he’s had it for years. Excellent analyst and he wrote a really good piece about how a lot of what the Commanders were doing on defense against the Chiefs was very different than what they’ve been doing in previous weeks. So, if you’re wondering why things looked a little janky with that opening script and things looked like they were coming a little harder, it’s cuz they were showing very different stuff than what they’ve been putting on film, which they had to do because their defense was so bad, right? And so, they they really were flying to the ball. Um, this was the first game where Jaylen Moore, you could kind of see the downgrade there a little bit. He allowed, you know, the rusher to get to his chest a little bit. Yeah, it seemed like the second half went significantly better for him. Was that true to you also? Yes, it was. It was definitely better. Um, Caliendo tightened it up a little bit too, although he still had some struggles in the second half. You saw a little more come from the interior. You saw the pockets weren’t as good as they’ve been um with Trey Smith, which we all knew was going to happen, but it it was the first game and and this makes sense when you take out Trey Smith and you’re not playing a joke of a franchise. Now you’re losing two starting offensive linemen even with a really good backup who I I think Jaylen Moore is probably, you know, 90% as good as Josh Simmons, 95% as good, but that 5% matters against higherend pass rushes or pass rushers. And he just didn’t have um he he just didn’t he he’s he’s not a really powerful guy in his upper body. And so he got bull rushed back a few times, but there was still enough time in the second half to where it wasn’t like a catastrophe. Shout out to you Kingsley Suareya for being part of the solution. Um because if one more position folds there, that’s when you have a catastrophe to where he’s felt even though he was rushed occasionally, he was rushed in an organized way. Like you take uh the the touchdown pass to Rasheed Rice. He he had to climb the pocket and he dropped his eyes for a minute, but he wasn’t so hurried that he didn’t have time to look back up and still make the throw. He there there were a couple times where, you know, he had to bail out left, but he wasn’t sprinting, he was rolling, and that makes all the difference in the world because you’re square and you can make throws, right? So, even as it looked janky, um, and just wasn’t quite what you’re looking for with the offense, that was in part because the commanders really threw a lot of different stuff at them than what they’ done previously, which that’s always has value. And they really were. They they got pressure early and Andy reverted faster than I’d like to, okay, we’re going to dink and dunk. And the commanders were ready for that. They did a great job. It kind of looked like some of the matchups they had last year against the Raiders in the year before where you have really really trying to smash the line of scrimmage stuff and the Commanders did a good job. So that really all that is true, but mostly, you know, so now we’ve done the bell curve thing. They turn the ball over twice. There you go. That was it. You know, otherwise they probably have 10, you know, 13, 14, 17. And even as it looks kind of less ugly or less pretty, you still have you’re still putting up production. And then the second half happened, and I’ll I’ll I’ll leave this to you, Josh, cuz we’re I’m taking us down a trail to because I’ve gone from the general to the specific. Now I’m back to the general. They went on a run. And that’s something they’ve been doing a lot of lately where you’ll have back-to-back touchdowns or touchdown, field goal, touchdown or at the very least touchdown, field goal where they suddenly on two possessions you get 14 points. Three possessions you get 17 or 21. And that you can see the effect it has on the opposing team’s offense, too. And that’s another thing about this Chiefs team that differentiates them so much from 2023 and 2024. They’re capable of going on runs that really if you’re the other team, you have to keep up or the game is over by the fourth quarter, which by and large, that’s what we had. We had Troy Aman saying, “Man, this game felt pretty close at halftime and here we are and um wow, I’m going to compliment Patrick Mahomes.” and then complain that an obvious roughing call was called. Yeah, I mean that just that sounds like a guy who’s extremely dialed in to the uh to the modern game on every level. And I have nothing else to say about that other than to call all Chiefs fans. We’ll talk a little more about the Chiefs going on runs here in the uh the next segment, but I want to let you know that you could be on the field at the 50 inside Gha Field for the official coin toss at a Chiefs home game this season.

My name is uh Terrell Jolly. A lot of people call me TJ. Founder and CEO of Integrity Capital Management. So, Integrity Capital Management uh originally started out as a property management firm, but we slowly transitioned to what is described as an incremental development firm that’s focused on situational housing. I know most people say affordable, but we believe in creating housing for people that are actually in need and built to the end user. I believe everyone needs a home because when you have home, you have hope. The reality is that when you’re building a business, one thing you don’t think about is like what a true banking relationship means. And you know, I had the honor and privilege of meeting uh Debbie early on in my career when I was just trying to get going. And as a small business, it’s really uh challenging at times because people don’t understand the concept or not believe the longevity because you’re just getting started. But Debbie was willing to uh take a a chance on me, take be patient with me. Um I almost look at it like a grassroot initiative. She seen she seen and believe what I’m about. Anybody that’s really true about their business and want to get some things done, I would definitely trust hands down Enterprise because Deb’s team along with Aaron and Jackie and all the amazing people that work behind the scenes, even from the treasury side, I would say, “Hey, give them an opportunity because you won’t be disappointed and you will actually be in hands that actually somebody care and that will see you from start to finish. I’m gonna throw it to Nate F. I decided I was gonna throw it to Nate first and then we came back and Nate’s just chewing. I imagined on some more Skittles and I but I already decided that’s where I was going with the ball. So, I’m going to go there based on something that that Seth wrote here in the newsletter. I think the the best encapsulation of what it is I can go to Seth first if you want. Native real knock. Come on, baby. Let’s go. Okay. Um, Seth, you mentioned um a a great comparison that I’ve also thought of many many times over the years when the late great TZ Palor talked about how the Chiefs offense had a lot in common with the Golden State Warriors and Steph Curry’s offense that at any point could go on one of those runs and just delete a deficit or bury you if it was close when it started. Um, Nate, I’m just kind of curious to float that in your direction here. And I want to let Seth touch the ball again on the the Chiefs offense on the runs thing before we get to the defensive side. But I do like that as a way of of viewing the offense as a whole right now. What happened against the Commanders? Again, I I was a little bit worried at halftime that it was just going to be weird bad vibes all night and then there’d be another maybe not another turnover, maybe not another pick, maybe it’s a fumble, maybe it’s not a turnover, maybe it’s a penalty that erases a drive. We’ve just seen so many of those self-inflicted wound games over the years. I was a little bit nervous about that and the Chiefs left no room for that concern in the second half. The beauty of the offense right now, even with multiple starting offensive linemen out, is the Commanders had no choice but to play a variety of zone coverage cuz they were scared of Taekquin Thornton or Hollywood Brown or Xavier Worthy running right by them. And you know, it was interesting that they played more man coverage in the first half of the game as part of that change up that Seth was that Seth was talking about earlier, but once the game got to a normal state, a normal tempo, um, we just saw one of the more vintage performances from the guy who is most equipped to devour his own coverage. And you have said this before, Josh, and it was really evident um in Monday’s game is that is establishing the Kelsey. They tried early in the game and Kelsey gave the ball back, but I want people to go back and rewatch that game. From the moment he has the turnover, for the next two quarters, second and third quarter specifically, he just turns into a completely different player who absolutely just destroys all zones. Uh, understands the spacing of them, understands where the routes are going, that creates bigger voids in the zones. Obviously, Mahomes and him have great chemistry. Um he obviously outlived a route just cuz you know for his own touchdown. He’s like, “Well, I guess I’m right into your zone. Not anymore.” You know, and then he’s and then he scores. But NextGen Stats uh had a great one last night that said all of Kelsey’s 99 yards came against zone coverage. And yet the Commanders had to keep playing zone because if they were going to do more man than they were comfortable with, Mahomes, I assure you, would have beaten them over the top with whoever the receiver was that he could have chosen based on the protection getting better as the game moved along. So, we are starting to understand that yes, because Rashid Rice is on the field and you gotta have some level of accountability for him, but also like I don’t want guys running right by me. So, it just creates this really nice ecosystem for Kelsey to be part of what he was in those 2018 2019 versions of the offense where they could go on runs because that dude is just always open and you can throw him the ball whenever. Um, and as long as Mahomes has plenty of protection, he’s got options. So, it was fascinating that because of Kelsey’s ability to win within the zone coverage of the Commanders, that led to Rasheed Rice getting going in the second half. And now what do you do? Right? Cuz the Commanders, I guess, succeeded, but Taekquin Thornton still beat them. Like, I I don’t want to make it uh I do not want him to get lost in all of this. like Taekquin Thornton’s ability to prove it for a month is still having a cumulative effect cuz the commander said, “No, please don’t. Stop running. Stop running nine routes.” And then Kelsey just sort of I’m just going to duck over here because the perimeter defender is in either some version of quarters or or cover three, maybe even cover six to some degree. And because you’ve pushed him, I’m just wide open, man. So, it was it was one of those vintage performances which allows the offense uh to be at its most explosive because now I know we’re going to talk about the future, but Kelsey at least demonstrating that he can give you 99 yards will be really serving Rashi Rice well, but it’ll serve the deep shots well moving forward, I think. And it just puts defenses in that that hypothetical that you you the rhetorical question you throw out there. So, what are you going to do? Who you going to cover? What are you going to do now? Um, a quick look at the snap counts. Also, I was surprised to see a couple of these numbers this morning. Travis Kelce played 58 snaps. For comparison, Rashi Rice played 59. Xavier Worthy 58. Um, also just kind of of no, a decent amount of of 12 and a couple of plays of 13. Yep. personnel. Noah Gray had 38 snaps. That’s more than half. Hollywood played 26 snaps. Guju 21. Um, Tanya was out there for five. I don’t know how many of those came later in the game. Uh, he he he was he he served a purpose on Rasheed Rice’s touchdown by just right. Give me give my guy a free release cuz you’re gigantic. And and like I’m bummed that Taekquin Thornton only played five snaps last night. But I’m not mad. But he ran fast and he ran hard on all five of them. And I I assume and I hope it’s not because of injury, but I assume at some point he’s going to get back into at least double digit snap count territory. And again, if you’re playing less heavy, maybe that’s the thing that that solves it on its own and and guys get banged up. But again, like I I really wanted Taekquin Thornton to continue to have a role after this whole receiving room got healthy and Rashi Rice was no longer suspended. But if you’re going to tell me that there’s there is not an inflated snap count here where it’s like I can’t believe they played Guju 75% of the snap. They didn’t. They didn’t. Seth, I’m curious as to your angle on it here in kind of the next iteration of of where the offense is and where it goes. I I don’t really have any nitpicking to do there. I just want more of those guys to get the ball more often because they have a wide receiving room worth feeding. Yes. Um I I completely agree with you. I’m on the same page as you. I was just looking up very quickly um Browns uh game by-game snap counts. Um I can pull that up for you if you want. Oh, I’ve I’ve I’ve got it looked up because I mean if you I mean he was uh the last two games 33% 37%. And so like you said it’s not like if someone if maybe someone’s beef might be something like well you know um Brown isn’t doing quite as well as maybe we’d like to see. Um and so you know maybe he’s seen a lot he’s seen 33% of the snaps. Juju Smither 30% 35%. So, it’s not like Taekquin is missing out because other guys are seeing this extraordinarily high snap count. Then you make a good point with that. Um, right now based on the way teams are playing the Chiefs and you got to remember that they’re generally going to respond to personnel in the sense of yes, who’s in the game, but mostly I mean they they don’t have time to like really go through which receivers are in the game. They see 11, they see 12, they see 13, they see the personnel numbers and then once you’re on the field, then you figure it out. And that’s an advantage for the Chiefs because teams right now, remember we talked about the accordion, right? You know, it just it goes out and in, out and in, out and in. And right now, the accordion with the way defenses are playing, the Chiefs is out. They are worried about getting beaten over the top. They’re worried about giving up a big play to man coverage. Um they’re also worried about because the way Worthy um executes some of those shifts and motions and some of that stuff that Andy Reid has him do. Well then the problem is you’re trying to run a guy all the way across the field against a guy with a head start. That’s something the entire league has done to make man coverage more difficult. It’s tough to execute match at a really high level consistently. And so right now that’s where the accordion is. My assumption is with the Chiefs because they’ve kind of been pretty short game centric a couple games in a row now that we might see a little more. Okay. All right. Well, now we know they’re going to play Guju Moore and Brown more and they’re not quite as much threats over the top. And Brown’s hit just enough intermediate stuff. You know, he didn’t do much against the commanders, but he’s hit enough intermediate stuff that it’s not like you can just sit shallow on him. And so my assumption is the accordion’s going to shrink again and then the Chiefs are going to go over the top to Thornton again. And there’s also the fact that they are willing to run the ball and have been running it fairly well with okay efficiency, not perfect, but good enough efficiency and with just enough explosives here and there to make teams pay like so so you just run out of options, right? you you you definitely want to be careful about deep stuff. So, you want to probably have two safeties over the top, but there’s some weaknesses there, too, unless you’re playing some version of quarters and and that’s tough to play because they might just run the ball down your throat, but they’re also lining up in 13 personnel and then spreading the ball out. They’re spreading out personnel wise, too, or spread out alignment wise. Yep. So right now the idea is no matter what game plan you’ve created for the Chiefs, we can poke and prod and see what you’re trying to do and what you’re focusing on taking away and then we’ll just do the other thing cuz there’s no perfect defense. The best thing that you can do is have great defenders, right? If you got a bunch of guys that are winning one-on-one matchups. Um, and that’s where the Chiefs now I my assumption is the next iteration will be teams trying to play a lot of um twoman or some other iteration of man coverage and then we’re going to see Andy Reid start to spam mesh and motion stuff and various screens because see with man coverage you know you’re following your guy down the field you’re not watching the running back and so now you’re you’re relying on the defensive line you’re relying on the linebackers and it just becomes really tough. The problem with that is Mahomes has used his legs at a crazy level this year against man coverage once he sees an opening through the pocket or outside the pocket. And that’s another man coverage is really tough against the Chiefs because you generally need a spy to do it. Well, it’s hard to have a spy and play too high. Correct. Um because now so now if you’ve got a spy and you’re playing too high now you’re going to vacate the middle of the field and and and Kelsey and and Rasheed Rice are going to dice you up. They really, especially once they get back Trey and hey, Cali’s managed to be in there without being a glaring weakness a couple weeks. I know they say they view him as a starter. Fair enough. Um, I would just assume say the longer he’s in there, um, the the tougher it’ll get. And I think the same kind of ticks on backups that get thrown in like that. You you get more tape and other teams start figuring out what your weaknesses are. Yep. after a couple games. I mean, we saw a guy just try to run through Jaylen Moore’s chest multiple times, right? Um to great success. And yeah, to great success. And to be fair, and they actually, and this I’ll give credit where St. Aman talked about this in the broadcast, they started aligning a tight end right next to him, which meant he could get he could get set a little bit quicker. Um and so don’t you do that to my colleague. I’ll tell you what. Um, and I I tell you what, our colleagues here at KCSN, Matty Lane, talked about this, too, where they started giving him a little more help. And then there we go. They gave a little more help to where you’re not as worried about getting you’re not worried about getting beat around the edge as much. So then you can set up a little quicker, a little stronger for that that that bull rush. And Simmons, because he’s got superior upper body power, doesn’t have to worry about that as much. He’s a better athlete, too. So he doesn’t have to cheat towards the edge. And you just see those those physical limitations that I think make Moore a adequate to good starting left tackle but not he doesn’t have elite traits. So traits but once you and so that was a long road to a short thought of course of even without Simmons and even without Smith you’re putting teams in some really tough positions and and I’m not sure what the answer is for it honestly. The best answer would be, I think, a team like Denver being able to get consistent pressure with four and still be strong against the run. So, basically, winning in the trenches. Again, it’s the bell curve of football, right? You win in the trenches, you win the game. Yeah, but there’s all this stuff that you do with various Nope. You win in the trenches, you win the game. But but block them. Yeah. And that’s there there’s not a lot of that’s that we’ve said that many many times. It was one of my favorite quotes from uh from Chris Brown of Smart Football when someone asked him why the Chiefs didn’t have better schematic plan for what Tampa Bay was doing in the Super Bowl years ago. He said there’s not a scheme for we can’t block them. We can’t block them, coach. Um one last thing here on the offensive side, Nate, just we mentioned him earlier, but Tom Pelisero had the report earlier that it’s an MCL sprain for Isaiah Pacheco that makes him considered quote week to week. Um it’s a short week for Buffalo and the by-week is is just around the corner. So um we’ll talk more about the running back room on Thursday. We’ll have more information. If he doesn’t practice Wednesday and Thursday, we’ll know how it’s heading. But does that seems about right to you and then theoretically we get a season debut of Elijah Mitchell? He’s he’s been on the act of 53. The Chiefs clearly see some value in him and you expect that eventually one of your top three running backs is going to get hurt. Yeah. Uh so if I were the Chiefs based on uh Pelisero’s report, uh you would not have Isaiah Pacheco practice this week, uh you would give him the full week off uh so that he could have two weeks to get proper treatment, proper rest, uh and then you would reassess him following the by-week um to see if he’s able to to be uh someone who can play. Now, you know, they have been developing Bashard Smith as much as they can for about a month now. And it just so happens that uh there’s not a better stage for Bashard Smith’s rookie development than good old Buffalo in mid-season form. Uh in a game that will have ramifications like we always knew they would uh you know, when the season was unveiled. Uh, I do love Dr. Ozie 15 saying that this is an Elijah Mitchell legacy game. Hey, if there’s ever a time for Elijah Mitchell to turn into that third down running back or that change of pace running back or that maybe potential home run hitting home, you know, running back that we all envision in the offseason. It would be nice. Uh, I will also say that the Chiefs have Carson Steel to consider because have you considered how many guys commit penalties on special teams play, which was not a Carson Steel issue last year. So, just keep that in mind as well. Uh, now there were times last year where they had Leo Chanel line up as a fullback. I’m just saying if you want to dust some of those off too, be my guest. I’m in. I don’t need to hear anymore. Uh give give me the Leo Chanel offensive snaps, as many of those as I can possibly get. Let’s take our second timeout, then come back and spend some time on the defense. I think there’s a few interesting parallels to the way we’ve talked about the offensive side of the ball to what the defense did against the commanders, where they go from here. We’ll talk about that next. Chiefs Kingdom, what is your favorite touchdown? By now, you guys already know that my favorite touchdown is the next one.

All right, let’s give the Chiefs defense their credit here. Um, Seth, the the the parallel I wanted to draw that I think is kind of interesting is as you said, you know, the Chief’s offense is moving the ball pretty well. They just kept turning the ball over. Well, the Commander offense was moving the ball a little bit. And it’s kind of funny to think back to the Leo Chanel pick of weeks ago and some other times when there has been some been some bending, not a lot of breaking, but the Commanders were moving down before that first pick. They moved about 60 yards before the turnover on downs. The next one wasn’t as successful. They turned it over again, but they had the shorter field because of the pick. They they were in opportunities to be able to to make this game a steeper climb for the Chiefs. And however they did it, whatever you want to credit, the the Chiefs defense really again bent in some ways, but but never let this game get anything resembling out of hand. Yeah. I it’s really funny because I I’m looking at the score totals of this season and you know obviously things started off tough against the Chargers and then they lost to the Eagles even though they only gave up 20. Gave up nine to New York. That was before the the Scatabo dart revolution. Gave up 20 to the Ravens. And my heart’s broken, man. Come on. I know. Me too, dude. I didn’t want to interrupt Seth talking about Cam Scaboo, but I’m sorry, Seth. You mentioned mention his name. We just I’m hurt, dog. We knew him so briefly and they took him from us. They The game is cruel, man. I think he’s questionable for Sunday. Yeah, I I I I think his ankle was facing the wrong way like a Lego guy like that. That looked Yeah, that was officially questionable according to Brian Dable. No, that’s not true. I’m making that up. He went and so good lord. And so and then and then I’m going to leave out one game in particular for obvious reasons. You you give up only 17 to Detroit, zero to Vegas, and then seven to Washington. What’s wrong with Trevor Lawrence? What Trevor Lawrence do wrong? Well, this well um this is where this is the third game. This this is the the second the Jaguars only scored 21 points against the Chiefs defense. Technically, that’s true. And so that would have been 24 points. And you know, obviously again, man, 14 point swings. Boy, do those boy do those change football games. Um, you know, it’s just like, hold on. If the Chiefs had scored seven more and the Jags had scored seven less, I wonder what people would say if it was 3524, you know, it’s so whatever. So, but what’s interesting to me is Washington is they had Scary Terry back. They had DVO Samuel back. Um, Marcus Mariota is not obviously not nearly as good as as Jaden Daniel, but he is. Is it Daniel or Daniels? I just realized I don’t Jaden Daniels. It is Daniels. Great. Yeah, because he’s really only Chase Daniel. He’s the only like Daniel as opposed to Daniels. Uh, Debo Samuel I I heard get an S yesterday, too. So, I mean, it’s it’s a toughy. There’s everywhere. He’s Debo Samuel Senior. And so that makes it even tougher. And so the the Commanders, they’re not the Raiders, right? They are legitimate NFL offense. Um Mariota played pretty well honestly. I don’t know what that have a Daniel Daniel problem until just now and I’m going to for the rest of my life. Seth, because I’m going to have Oh, it’s Chase Daniels. Got to be it’s Jaden Daniel Daniels. You just you just gave me your problem which has happened many times over the course of our relationship together. Be happy about it. Happening on the podcast this way is rare. If if only that was more of a transfer and less of a spread. It’s infectious. It’s not it’s not trans. Yeah. So, I apologize. Go ahead. Um and so the Mariota played well. They’ve got a legit offense that’s called pretty well. They did some good things against Spags and so and then the Lions it looked tougher. The Lions were a buzzsaw before they played the Chiefs and then suddenly was like I don’t know how impressive it is. Then they whooped the Bucks and everyone’s like oh look how good they are. like, hey, like, wait, you don’t just get to take a week off from discourse, but apparently you do. Whatever. Here’s what I don’t get about the Chiefs defense right now. They do not get pressure at a rate that makes me comfortable or really very close to it. Um, and they’ve had some blown coverages this year. They had some against the Commanders. And Dana made a good point. I mean, that’s they were sitting there. They they overall played well except when they allowed receivers to run wide open. Um, like even like Scary Terry’s touchdown, that was a really cool, you know, um, you know, rainbow from Mariota, but the reality is either Watson or Connor. I don’t know which one of them. I think it’s I think it’s Connor based on the alignment and the I think they were playing some version of quarters. This is through NextG and some of the player tracking data where I think the player who has the under route is supposed to be Connor. uh and he’s late getting there while uh I can’t remember who he’s occupied with but WA Watson is occupied by another receiver, right? And so there is there there’s some concern there, but yet somehow they are just able to Did you see what he did, Seth? Did you see what he did? Spags did it again, boys. I think Seth, I think that’s the problem. And obviously Nate knows now because this is his bit, but sometimes he’ll say, “Did you see what he did?” And he won’t tell us who he is or what he did. And so we have none of the necessary factors to narrow this down. Hey, hey, hey. I may or may not have seen what he did. Question. Did you see what he did on another prime time standalone game for the entire league to watch? He’s a wizard. Nate, not Spag. I mean, spags too, but it mean spags, too. But like Steve Sagnel’s like, “We we we we we we got to throw it. We got to throw him back on the scent.” Cuz I threw him on the set, they took the scent off, put him back on the sit. He had Connor play the nickel again. Oh, yeah. I did, too. Yep. It went poorly. And so, it went poorly. And so, I I Do we have a Do we have a big game next week? Hey, put them back in the slot. Put him back on to see it. I’ve reached a point where I have no desire to even talk about it because it doesn’t do me any good to just I do. No Williams had eight snaps in this game, by the way. Did you see what he did, kids? We’ll see. We’ll see you on Sunday, son. Yeah, no Williams. Yeah, he had the lowered snaps. Christian Fulton could be the greatest quarterback. You’ll never see him. Can you see what I’m doing? See what I’m doing, guys? Look at what he’s doing. Seven points allowed. And that’s the rub of it. They they they held them despite some genuine issues with stopping them, some third and down frustrations. And that’s what’s interesting about the Chiefs right now is they are very they’re very boa constrictory in how these games have been going in that their defense and offense have both now for multiple weeks in a row have shown up simultaneously. And this is where when their defense is playing well and their offense is playing well and it would be really easy to say, “Oh, what you’re about to say is true about all teams.” But it’s just not. When the Chiefs defense and offense are both playing well, they they become an absolute buzzsaw because they they they’ll go on a run on offense and then they become really hard to score against on defense. And that’s one of those things with complimentary football. When the Chiefs offense starts going on a run, they’ve scored and then Spags knows that other team feels like they have to answer and suddenly one of the few weaknesses that Spags defenses have at times is how vulnerable they are to legitimately decent under center play action. It slows their pass rush way down because a lot of times they’ve got guys minding a couple of gaps. So that’s why you’ll see like, you know, they’re sitting there holding the gaps. Well, okay, it’s play action. then they start to move forward, but now the time’s already been bought. But when you’ve just scored and put yourself up by two scores and the other team, you know, has to throw the ball to try to catch up, that just changes things. And so they really, I mean, they’re leaning on their ability to defend um the sideline to defend some of the easy button stuff. We talked about that a few weeks ago with the safeties and we saw it multiple times where Connor or Hicks or Cook made a tackle near the sideline that just they just they really constrict things and you basically have to start making really good throws or catches to continuously perform and that’s like that’s and scary Terry did a couple times, right? and and so but they make you earn it and yes and that’s the big thing. Making them earn it without a good pass rush is really hard to do and that is what they’re doing right now. So I I’m really curious what we’re going to see against the Bills. My guess is we’ll see more null Williams. Um and we’ll see fewer three safety sets. Um but they also I think they like having Jaden Hicks on the field. I mean, Cook has been playing so well for the Bills and stopping the run’s a big deal and and he is kind of a a plays stopper when he makes tackles. So, the with the defense, there are still areas of concern. That’s why I know everyone’s asking about Mike Panell from the sounds of it. There’s a lot of rumors flying around that the Chiefs are going to bring him back immediately. Okay, please do. Yeah. And that here’s the thing with Mike Panell. You don’t need him to be a star. You don’t even need to be necessarily a a really good player. You need him for five to 10 snaps a game. Come in and be solid against the run and at least push the pocket a tiny bit once. That’s it. You do that and suddenly maybe Chris Jones is 3% less tired in the third quarter. Marlon Tupelo played eight snaps. Again, I don’t know how many of those were when they were like Jeffrey Bassa and Joshua Williams played four and five snaps. They were rotating some guys in there at the end. Yeah, Chris Jones playing 44 snaps in this game. Shamari Connor played 48. Watson McDuffy 48. Bolton Tranquil 46. Chris Jones played 44 snaps. George Caroffis played 37. Chris Jones is outnapping George Caroffis, the the Energizer Bunny defensive end that he is. And and Tillery played 24. and Dererick Naughty played 12 and Mike Dana played 20 and and did some inside outside obviously and had the sack where nobody blocked him and he did his job and cleaned it up. Mike Dana with an alltime do your job game where he did not need to have any incredible feats of athleticism and he had a killer pick and a sack where he just he didn’t bleep it up. Hey man, a ball’s going to bounce in your direction and Marcus Mariota is going to be right there as his offensive line parts for you. Don’t bleep it up. And a lot of guys do. Most defenders do and he didn’t. Good on Mike Dana. But this I mean this was a thin group before Omar’s injury. It’s even thinner now. They they they need they need Mike Panel. Like like I think we’ve watched Mike Panel now enough. Yeah. If you could just do some of that again. Cool. Um I did also want to mention I thought it was a good call here from Charles McDonald or excuse me, Charles Goldman um who uh who tweeted uh that Panel was released with a non-injury settlement. That’s typically a designation you see when a player requests their release and are still owed guaranteed money, but the team doesn’t want to pay the full amount owed. Um, first of all, the Bengals jokes right themselves. Uh, but even then, I would understand where they’re coming from. Like, okay, we’ll let you go, but you’re going to let some guaranteed money go and then hopefully you can go, you know, from our side, hopefully that’s setting up this reunion here in Kansas City. Um, Nate, anything you want to add on the on the panel front as Seth and I have each had our two cents? Do it yesterday. Uh, look, Chris Jones has been advocating for weeks and considering he was on the Bengals. Yes. Well, now the league really doesn’t care about that rule, but it’s like, okay, he’s not a decision maker. He’s not someone who can like, you know, sign a player. But if he was telling Trey Hendrickson to force his way out, I think they might. You know, it’s like, you know, it’s his buddy. It’s Mike Penel. Yeah, exactly. So, uh, based on what you just told us about Chris Jones’s workload and the fact that like I think because he has to play so many snaps because they’re in such a uh, deficient position at the defensive tackle, he can’t he can’t go crazy the entire game. He He just can’t. He has to be there the duration of the season, guys. He cannot. Um, now obviously the commanders did a good job of double teaming him and accounting for where he was, which did set up for Charles Minhugh, George Caroff, and Mike Dana to have good days, but you can’t you can’t be playing this many snaps, man. You just you can’t. So, uh, for his sanity, um, and his soul maybe, he needs Mike Panel back. So, uh, you know, that’s going to have a a nice bit of, uh, it’s going to have a nice effect on the locker room. To Seth’s point, it will probably do you some good on the field. And Mike’s been through the trenches. He been through the battles. Uh, the Buffalo Bills don’t want to see him made, especially in January. So, you know, the moment you are informed that he has been released because the Bengals are in fact the Bengals. Yeah, you got do it immediately. Like, it’s okay for a front office to acknowledge, hey, we messed up before the season began and now we have a chance to rectify it. Go rectify it. One little wrinkle that I I thought of earlier, I still think that adding in in the trade market makes a lot of sense. It also seems like there are a decent number of pass rushers who are at least having their name thrown out there, which is not the same thing as getting traded, but I’m just noting that. I think what Mike Panel would do is give the Chiefs a chance to make their big pre-trade deadline move to be a defensive end if they choose to go that direction. Like you can have I it I think we talked about this on on Thursday or maybe it was Tuesday. I don’t I think we talked about this last week where it’s like it feels like now they need to make two moves. Like there are two vacancies. like there is a defensive tackle setting a floor for you and some sort of perhaps at least a slight difference maker, a needle mover of some sort. Yes. Now, I think it could just be, hey, find find the defensive lineman who V likes, who Spags likes, and isn’t going to cost you a ton. And I think if that’s if that’s a move they make before the deadline, I think we’ll all uh all be better for it. Um I I I wanted to mention this. We’ll obvious talk a lot of the Bills game on Thursday. will be fully in Buffalo mode by then. But this next three-game stretch here, Seth, I mean, and it leads into the Cowboys on Thanksgiving, obviously the Cowboys are not a good all-around football team right now. But if you told me that the Cowboys and a good offense at home on Thanksgiving was going to do something weird, I’d be aware of of that. But these next three games in the AFC in the race for the conference and then specifically the AFC West in three games, four weeks because of the buy, the Chiefs go at Buffalo by at Denver. The Broncos will be on a mini buy because they play Thursday night the week before and then hosting the Colts at the end of November, a little less than a month from now. That is a gauntlet and that is going to determine a lot of things about the AFC. Well, that’s the uh I mean the Colts off a buy also there. Thank you, Tucker Jers. The Colts off a buy. And man, they’ve been playing well. They’re very, very well coached and they’ve got excellent personnel all over the field. Are we talking about the Colts? We are. Bring her out. Bring her out. Oh, I not doing this. Let’s go. I am. Carly, I now know her name. Okay, that’s when you know you’ve made it. I mean, Carly, get them fits off and get her a headset, man. Can you imagine if Clark Hunt had a headset on? Could you imagine if Clark Hunt was taking notes on the sidelines, Seth? How can you not love this? She said, “Hey, oh, I’m not paying attention.” Carly said, “I don’t want to give people millions of dollars as a mistake, man. Just incredible. a quote machine out here living her best life, you know, and got the boys doing well. She got everybody spooked. Everybody spooked into playing seven and one ball. Who don’t want this good of an owner? It’s the If they were uh gamer two under 500, the boss in on the sidelines in every game micromanaged, they’re winning. They’re winning. What are you going to do? She’s micromanaged in the best most entertaining way possible. And you know what? If that wasn’t Jim Mercy’s daughter, I wouldn’t believe it. Okay, that’s right. That’s right. Um, no, the the the aura surrounding the Colts holistically right now feels kind of perfect for the incredible bizarre so far Cinderella season that they’re having there. But I I still have the Colts are good. I’m I’m I’m in. The Colts are good. I don’t know if they’re great. I don’t know if they’re going to win the Super Bowl. They’re good. The Broncos are fine. And I’m still mad at them in the way they play football in a way that is frustrating. And then obviously the Bills on Sunday like that Denver still holds the lead in the AFC by a full game. The Chargers are ahead of the Chiefs because they have the tiebreaker there. So, um Seth is our kind of our our final thing here. What what what did stand out to you about that that gauntlet that you wanted to mention? Um what you’re looking at there is the currently the number one, number three, and number five seeds in the AFC and Buffalo’s the five, right? Yeah. And so you’re you’re looking at teams obviously, you know, the Broncos are in the AFC West, but I mean you’re you right now you’ve got a team in the Colts because I mean the Chiefs in theory they’ve only got three losses that that one seed’s not out of reach. But you got to beat the Colts to have that one seed at all within reach. Even if you beat the other two teams, if you lose to the Colts, now you now you’re, you know, two games back and a tiebreaker. That’s almost impossible without perfect football. Um, but you know, with the Broncos, they they’ve got an opportunity to, you know, give them their third loss and then hold the the tiebreaker over them, which is important because the Chargers, they have a tiebreaker over the Chiefs. And it’s not like the Chargers are completely out of the picture here, although the injuries are piling up, man. Um, and then the Bills are the Bills. I mean, these are these are teams that they have a chance here to reset the entire balance of power in the AFC. Even if, let’s say, they come out of it 3-0 and the Colts win their other one other game and they only lose to the Chiefs because they’ve got a buy. So, they’d technically still be the one seed at that point, but I don’t think anyone in the league would be like, “Oh, well, you know, the Chiefs might still be like that would they would put themselves in such a great position after digging themselves in a hole early in the season.” So on the flip side, you lose two of these games and you have especially depending on who you lose to and you’ve set yourself up to where you essentially have to be close to perfect to win the division or get the one seed. um or you’re you’re hoping other teams stumble and that that’s so this is an incredibly I mean this is their hardest threeame stretch left th this is kind of where the the early struggles and the couple of games that they should have won made two of these kind of not a must-win nothing’s a must win they could lose all three of them and still make the playoffs but boy if you if you go 0 and3 here you’re in real trouble because now you got six losses And now you’re praying that other guys beat each other out. So this is this is a huge stretch and honestly one that I’m a little worried about. I don’t like when you said the thing about three losses. So I am going to note that on the on my official uh Only Weird Games bingo card. I I am definitely counting um Seth I think Seth there said balance of power which is interesting because it’s a different uh context but I heard bounce of power and oh that’s a bingo card spot. So, um, we’re still very far away from a bingo on the superers sized card right now, but I am trying to stay up to date on it. That’ll do it for us. We’ve got an hour of Chiefs goodness for you here. We’ll be back again to do it again on Thursday with a lot more about the Buffalo Bills. We’ll know a little bit more about Mike Panel perhaps, Isaiah Pacheco, Trey Smith. We’ll we’ll find out. So, uh, we’ll keep our ear to the ground in the meantime, but until we can talk to you again on Thursday, Nate is going to get us out of here. You want the sport to grow, okay? That’s all we’re here for, guys. We want the sport to grow. We enjoy the sport. I hope people get this reference. Josh, we got a stepped on product Sunday. It wasn’t right. You and I both know it wasn’t right. That cocaine they were selling us in week one, that was not the cocaine I got Sunday. somebody stepped on it, you know, put some other ingredients in it. If it was not for Andy Dalton doing some of the most idiotic things I’ve ever seen a veteran quarterback do that that you’re right, Paul, the coke wasn’t hitting. Okay. Like I was sitting on my couch surrounded by just a circle of baking soda. Man, it just was not it it just was not what they that not you know I have a quality when I come to the NFL on Sunday. Quality and what we got wasn’t quality man. That was that was that was that was garbage dog. Hey be Halloween witching hour too by the way. The witchiest thing we got was Jets Bengals which was pretty weird. It was it was but like Cowboys Broncos I said hey you know what it’s going to kick in. It’s going to kick in. It just took a little bit. It’s gonna kick in. It did not. It did not kick in. So, I don’t know, man. Just Just send me more clips of Carly, man. Just Just brighten up my day. All right. What’s the owner of the Indianapolis Colts doing? Cuz I’ll watch.
Nate Taylor, Seth Keysor, and Joshua Brisco break down the Kansas City Chiefs’ big win over the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football and react to the insane pace the Chiefs offense is currently on.

I like that this was recorded in the short window between pennel release and signing
How is a show with someone who works directly for the Chiefs, an ESPN reporter and a South Park character so unwatchable? If there was a single shred of good football talk in here it gets covered up by the annoyance of you three buffoons. No wonder that bald dude slaughters you all at least he can read a teleprompter for 10 minutes and summarize twitter posts enough to be watchable.
Watching Seth really just try to talk ball with Nate continually interrupting to try and get laughs or whatever he does is brutal.
Having signed Pennel, Khalen Saunders is probably the best fit the Chiefs should target to round out the DT rotation.
This show has gotten a lot better keep up the good work
A team must be able to win at least three consecutive games against tough competition to hoist the Lombardi. The next three games make for a good dress rehearsal.,
I think Seth throws darts at a picture of Nate off screen
I know why the Chiefs were able to be so successful on offense. Isn't it obvious?
They established the Kelce.
The Colts are the biggest frauds since that 11-0 Steelers a few years back
FIVE of the Colts 7 wins are against, the Titans(twice) the Raiders, the Dolphins and the Cardinals(with their backup QB) and one of their wins was a loss until the Broncos decided to commit a 15 yard penalty on the final play of the game(A missed 60 yard FG by the Colts).
Nate you gotta read the room bro. Maybe I’m out of place or don’t know what I’m seeing, but good lord let Seth get his shit off
Chiefs love their felons. First tyreek now rasheed. Remember if you or i did what they did we'd have no money and be rotting in jail as they should be
I feel very VERY good about the Bills game – I'm generally correct.
Let's go blue jays
Seth- " Good lord."
Nate just because you talk you don't need to laugh. You are not nearly as funny as you find yourself
Seth's irritation is very visible.
Everyone keeps hating on Nate and personally I'm here for his infectious energy.
I think sugar needs to be outlawed in the Taylor household. This man cannot handle sugar
There are Deebos Samuel.
@46:00. Boy, that’s a good callback, but Seth’s gonna need a minute for a couple Serenity prayers if you keep going back to it.
