EVERYONE IS CONFUSED AS TO WHAT IS HAPPENING: Kansas City Chiefs News Today

Something strange is a foot in the NFL. And it’s not just us that have noticed. Uh, this is going to be a bit of a different video for this channel, but I don’t think it is completely a nonsequitator considering that all of us are trying to figure out what is going on with the Kansas City Chiefs, what has gone on with the Kansas City Chiefs, and can they fix whatever it is that is the issue in time to make a very late season playoff push? Well, I’ve got to be very honest with you. I don’t know who Scott Caxmar is, but apparently he is some type of NFL writer and this is a tweet that was suggested to me on the timeline and he’s not someone I follow, but that is the way that the algorithms work. And I want to walk you through this tweet in two parts and then a couple of his follow-ups before getting to tin foil hat territory that I don’t think is really going to be that surprising to anyone. Um, but it’s not something that I normally do here. You you you’ve been here. You know, I don’t talk about the referees. You know, I don’t talk about the little things in a game because those things can go either way any week. But it seems more and more often those things are going one direction. Scott says there is something very strange happening in the NFL this season that’s going to lead to people making sweeping generalizations they’ll later regret. All of these teams who have won their divisions for two plus years are struggling and at risk to even make the playoffs. even make the playoffs, by the way, in an expanded field. So, the tweet carries on in this way. The teams who have won their divisions for at least two years and are struggling to make the playoffs, the Chiefs, the Ravens, the Bills, the Lions, the Texans, and the Buccaneers. That’s 75% of division winners. And yet, people only focus on Kansas City because of hatred and jealousy. I could just as easily say it’s over for Baltimore and they have to fire Harbaugh or it’s over for the AFC. It’s over in the AFC East for Buffalo and they have to fire McDermott. So don’t forget the Ravens and Bills had higher Super Bowl odds than Kansas City coming into this season, too. They are, by the way, I mean look at this list when we go back. The Chiefs, obviously that is with whom we are concerned here, the Kansas City Chiefs right there. But the Ravens, who have been the regular season nemesis of the Chief or foe of the Chiefs and a postseason punching bag for a long time now. The Bills, who have been a regular season nemesis of the Kansas City Chiefs and a postseason punching bag, in danger of making the playoffs. and the Texans who played a vital role in the Chief’s very first dramatic Super Bowl run. But the Lions as well who have dominated and the Buccaneers who have been one of the sneakier very strong teams in the NFC for a few seasons now. All of these teams who have won the divisions two years and some even longer than that struggling to find themselves in the playoff picture. And let’s not forget the Eagles already have one more loss than they had all of last season. They’ve lost two in a row and they just got beat by the Bears by nine points. And guys, that game wasn’t wasn’t even particularly that close. This was kind of a thrashing of the Eagles by the Bears. And you look at that, this is what the Eagles look like this season, 8-4. You have the resurgent Cowboys at 65 and one. Now, while and whereas the Eagles are not in immediate danger of not winning the division, they they will have to lose a couple more and have Dallas continue the run on which they find themselves. It’s very realistic that the Eagles find themselves added to the list up here, which would make one, two, three, four, five, six, seven out of eight division winners not winning the division and possibly not making the playoffs. The This tweet continues, “Blank crap. injuries/ turnovers happen. Teams have have off years. It would be unprecedented for this many teams to have an off year at the same time. But that’s 2025 so far. So far, nothing has been clenched by the way. For all we know, most of these teams still win their divisions and one goes to the Super Bowl. That’s true. But we’re going to get into a little bit of the thought process here in a moment. But I’d be very careful about making predictions that a team is dead and you’re and you’re just going to pencil in new teams like Denver, Indianapolis, and New England for division titles in 2026 and beyond. There is fool’s gold everywhere this season. Don’t be the fool who buys into it as the new norm. So he went on to have to clarify and defend himself in many ways after this tweet. This coming from Zap Rugby. You were the epitome of the entitled fan base that is Kansas City. You are like a child with no idea of the everlasting parody that is the NFL. I believe. Isn’t that the wrong type of parody? Is P R P A R I T Y the parody we’re talking about? Anyway, the Chiefs need to fall back into mediocracy. Mediocrity because that’s where they belong. It’s flyover city. Remember that flyover city. We’ve been talking about that on this channel for a very long time. The barbecue is mid. It’s over. Good game, Pat and Andy. To which Scott replies, I’m not a Chiefs fan. I’ve never even been further west than Ohio. Coming at me talking about some barbecue. And it’s true. He’s not a Chiefs fan. I checked out his stuff. Seems very level-headed. Seems very even-handed. Does not seem to be preferential to any NFL uh organization. Maybe I’m wrong. Didn’t look that deep into things, but from the tweets that I saw, he was kind of analyzing that’s what he does. Uh again, I I don’t really know who this individual is. Then Rod stepped up and said, “Not sure it’s jealousy or hate. Not sure it’s jealousy or hatred. It’s that the It’s that the falloff was so dramatic. After getting smashed in the Super Bowl, they just haven’t looked the same. Again, not sure it’s jealousy, just shocked how bad they are. To which Scott replies, “Buddy, they’ve lost six one-score games by a combined 25 points, all to winning teams. Where’s this energy for the Eagles and Ravens getting crushed at home in the last 24 hours or the Bills losing by double digits in Atlanta and Miami? Green Bay lost to Carolina and Cleveland. And this is true. The Chiefs have no um so prior to last season, the Chiefs always had one one loss that was just a head scratcher, right? You have to chalk it up to the NFL. You have to chalk it up to those 53 guys are being paid to. You have to chalk it up to pride. You have to chalk it up to any number of things, but it always happened. And last year it didn’t. This year it hasn’t. The closest that you can say is the loss to Jacksonville, but even then that’s a team that is hunting for a playoff spot. That is a team that has won games this year. Um, and then Joshua Brisco, who with whom we are familiar here, your four losing teams on Thanksgiving/Black Friday, the Lions, the Chiefs, the Ravens, and the Eagles. All but one, the Eagles, found themselves on Scott’s list earlier, and we talked about how the Eagles might be the seventh of eight division winners that do not win their division this season. to which Scott replies or he retweets Josh Brisco, “Four of the top five teams, four of the top five in preseason Super Bowl odds just need Buffalo to lose Sunday for the sweep, meaning that all five of the top teams in preseason Super Bowl odds might lose in the very same week of the NFL season.” And in a normal week, this would be a footnote slashtrivial thing. But it’s significant when all five teams will have lost more games by week 13 than all of last year. All of these teams in danger, plus the Bills in danger of losing more games by the final month of the season than they did all last season. So, let’s get into some analysis of what is going on here. And put your tin foil hats on, baby, because we’re going to get deep. I think the obvious insinuation from Scott here that some people will regret the conclusions to which they jump is that the author is saying people will jump to conspiracy, that referees are tipping the scale. The NFL is stirring the pot itself. He is suggesting that people will regret that conclusion. But and but and perhaps this is due to the prevalence of social media, I have never ever heard this much complaining about referees. There’s always complaining about referees. Um just a few years ago until just a few years ago, it was very rare for that complaining about referees to find its way onto the broadcast. broadcasters are questioning calls much more often than I ever remember in the past and the fan bases. I mean, go to Twitter on any NFL Sunday and it’s just question after question. It is just people rolling over that the referees are biased and against them. So, let’s take this one step deeper. Let’s put ourselves in the mindset of the NFL. the NF, the only organization, so the only body that would be willing to make this type of call. I don’t mean other sports won’t, right? The NBA has some serious issues, but fan bases can’t sway this. The referees themselves have no real reason to sway this, especially when you’re talking about a fiveman referee crew. The obviously the teams themselves can’t sway this. The only the only organization, the only body of individuals that could would be the NFL at large. So, let’s put ourselves in their mindset. The NFL loves parody. The NFL has done several things to drive par in the last few years. Number one, the 17 game schedule. Teams with one more chance to lose will revert to the means more often. You’re giving teams one more game to mature, one more game for the younger teams, which are usually the teams that are on the upswing, which are usually the teams that have had losing records in the past and have overhauled things. You’re giving them one more shot, one more week to make the playoffs. Okay? Then there’s playoff expansion. More teams get in. More fan bases get to take a positive message into their off season. At least they made the playoffs, right? But the big thing is this is the NFL. On any given weekend, any team can beat any other team in the NFL. So, you give the underdog one more shot at getting into the dance. You give the unders the underdog one more shot at making it to the Super Bowl. Wasn’t that the Commanders last season? Perhaps I’m remembering this wrong, but I thought they were the last team to make the playoffs. If it wasn’t the Commanders, it was someone in the last couple of seasons. Last team in the playoffs and nearly made it to the Super Bowl. this year the commanders reverted to the means. Then you have the later date for the trade deadline. And I think that this actually was the NFL shooting themselves in the foot. In theory, moving the trade deadline later in the season was going to allow for more teams to decide to go allin on this season. Paradoxically, it seems to me that more and more teams have decided to sell the farm at the deadline and use the next season as a rebuild. That is something we used to see in baseball, but we never saw it in football until the trade deadline was moved back. Never saw that in football until the trade deadline was moved back. And it seems that that has stunted the parity in the league artificially and the NFL might have been upset about that. Now, despite all of these efforts from the NFL, plus the fact we have seen the NFL move directly in opposition to the heroics, the late game, late season heroics of the Kansas City Chiefs when u the Bills couldn’t get the ball back in overtime, so they changed the rule. Right? We have seen that directly against things that the Kansas City Chiefs have accomplished. So, we know that the NFL is not on the Chief’s side. Not that they should be. They should be neutral, but we have seen that type of move seemingly. Uh, so how many how many times did the Patriots do that and it was never a sticking point? Get the ball in overtime and get the one score that was needed and win the game. How many times did we see the Patriots do that during Tom Brady’s career? Great. Patrick Mahomes does it a couple times against the Bills and all of a sudden because New York, Buffalo, bigger market than Kansas City, now it’s a problem. Despite all of these efforts, the NFL went from the Patriots dynasty directly into the Kansas City Chiefs dynasty. Again, the Chiefs have been to five of the last six Super Bowls. And I’m not making this argument that the NFL is trying to snuff out the Kansas City Chiefs. I’m saying if there is anything going on is that the NFL has looked at things and said, “Okay, well, dynasties are not great for business.” Make no mistake, a dynasty is awesome for a fan base, but it is awesome for a fan base. How often were you absolutely dejected being a Chiefs fan that the Patriots are going to another Super Bowl? How often were you absolutely dejected as a Chiefs fan that the Patriots were in this playoffs again? How often were you absolutely dejected as a Chiefs fan when the Chiefs would absolutely throttle the Patriots, but it didn’t matter. They were just going to go on and win the next eight games straight, make it to the playoffs, go to the Super Bowl. That is terrible for 31 franchises, namely 16, right? Because if you were a, for example, Carolina Panthers fan, you didn’t really have to worry about it until the Super Bowl. They’re in the NFC. If you were in the AFC, if you were a fan, if you were a fan of a team in the AFC, that starts right at the beginning of the playoffs. 16 fan bases, 15 fan bases absolutely hate what is happening with the Kansas City Chiefs. 31 fan bases hate what is happening with the Kansas City Chiefs. While that dynasty was in New England, the 12th biggest market in the NFL, it was slightly acceptable. There were a New England is the uh 12th biggest market in the NFL, but it was East Coast. So, you have the entire East Coast that could kind of take in on the action. But when it’s Kansas City, the 26th biggest market in the NFL, it is bad, bad, bad for business. Add to that the constant whining that the refs were on the Chiefs side of things because people didn’t watch the whole game. They would just see one play on social media, let alone the whole season. And I would imagine that viewership was declining. This idea that the Chiefs were getting preferential treatment was a runaway train on social media and a black eye on the NFL. They know the way they’re very cognizant of how things are being perceived and I imagine they have numbers to back it up. Now, if you’re here, you’ve probably been here before. You know, I’m not one to blame referees. I am not one to blame referees, but I don’t see anyone complaining that the Jets are getting railroaded by referees. And we have seen a lot of baffling calls this season, not just for the Chiefs, not just against the Kansas City Chiefs. We’ve seen it all over social media. Where did that holding call come from? That was a phantom pass interference call. That is a play which gets no called 50 times in an NFL game. They happen to call it there. It’s all over social media. When you see this many of the shiny organizations in the NFL and you’re you you are on the precipice perhaps of adding the Philadelphia Eagles to that roll call. this many of the premier organizations in the NFL that have made the playoffs and won their divisions for at least two years. Being dethroned in a single season, you have to ask some type of question. And football is a game of inches. One or two calls over the course of a game can drastically change the outcome of that contest. It is strange to see this much turnover in the playoff field in a single season. Something weird must be happening. It is very tempting to say, “Look, if you’re a referee, if you’re a referee crew, you don’t have to call very many. You have to call a holding call here. You have to call a pass interference there. You have to say that this this reception was out of bounds. You have to say his knee was down before that fumble came out. Those last two are overturnable, but you risk a timeout in doing so. The previous two, the pass interference, the holding call, you’re not challenging that, right? So I I I don’t know what else to say at this point. I really don’t know what else to say at this point. It is very tempting to say that look, if a team is dominating to the point where a couple of those calls can’t change the outcome of the game, they’re going to win anyway. But if this is the place where the Chiefs find themselves where they have six losses, all six are one-score losses. The combined point total of those losses is 25 points. Then guys, one call can change the winner and loser of that game. That is all I have for this video. If you like or appreciate what I do here, hitting the like button really does help me out as it tells YouTube to share this video with other Kansas City Chiefs fans. If you find yourself here by chance but not design, the Chiefs are the only thing I talk about on this channel, dropping multiple videos every single week. And I hope to have you back for the next

The Kansas City Chiefs are having a rough season.
