Kansas City Chiefs in ‘desperation mode’ ahead of game vs. Texans | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

PROBLEM THEN YOU GOT A PROBLEM. UH, ALL RIGHT, SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, THE TEXANS AND THE CHIEFS AND THE TEXANS PLAYED 2 GAMES AT ARROWHEAD STADIUM LAST YEAR IN LESS THAN A MONTH. 1 LATE IN THE REGULAR SEASON. 1 IN THE POSTSEASON, THE REGULAR SEASON GAME WAS 1 SCORE 27 TO 19. THE POSTSEASON GAME 23 TO 14. THEY GAVE THE CHIEFS WHO WOULD GO ON TO WIN THEIR THIRD STRAIGHT AFC CHAMPIONSHIP A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN MAYBE THE CHIEFS BARGAIN FOR. AND NOW, THE TEXANS WITH THAT DEFENSE 4 STRAIGHT WINS, AND I MEAN, THE CHIEFS JUST ARE LIVING ON THE ROPES. AND EVERY WEEK, IT’S LIKE, ARE THEY GOING TO WAKE UP? ARE THEY GOING TO WAKE UP? COLTS BUT THEN THEY LOSE AND EVERY WEEK IT’S LIKE, ARE CULTS BUT THEN THEY LOSE TO AND THEY’RE AT FULL-BLOWN ALLOUT, DESPERATION MODE. WE’VE NEVER SEEN THIS FOR THEM IN THE REGULAR SEASON AND WE’VE SEEN HOW THEY THRIVE IN SINGLE ELIMINATION SETTINGS IN THE POSTSEASON 17 AND 3, PATRICK MAHOMES IS IN THE POSTSEASON. WILL THAT TEAM SHOW UP FOR THE LAST 5 REGULAR SEASON GAMES? THAT’S THE QUESTION THAT WE’RE GOING TO GET THE FIRST ANSWER TO AGAINST, ARGUABLY THE BEST DEFENSE IN FOOTBALL ON SUNDAY NIGHT. YEAH. AND AND MY ANSWER, YOU KNOW, AND I HAVE A LOT OF DIFFICULTY SAYING THIS ABOUT THE CHIEFS IN GOOD LORD THAT POSTSEASON RECORD REALLY IS SOMETHING TO BEHOLD FOR SOMEBODY WHO, YOU KNOW, IS IN YEAR 8 AS A STARTER. BUT MY ANSWER RIGHT NOW IS HELL, NO. I I MEAN THE THE THE CHIEFS AND THE BIGGEST THE, THE CHIEFS OFFENSIVE LINE RIGHT NOW IS IN TATTERS, YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE JOSH SIMMONS, YOU’RE STARTING LEFT TACKLE, HE’S OUT, YOU KNOW, AND THEY PUT HIM ON IR WITH A DISLOCATED WRIST. UNDERWENT SUCCESSFUL SURGERY ABOUT YESTERDAY, BUT ALSO THE, THE CHIEFS OFFENSIVE YEAH, I KNOW HASN’T PLAYED ALL THAT WELL, BUT IF HE’S NOT OUT THERE AND HE MIGHT NOT BE ON SUNDAY DUE TO INJURY, AND THAT’S ANOTHER ISSUE. AND THEN ALSO, TREY SMITH IS STILL DEALING WITH AN ISSUE. THEY’RE, THEY’RE REALLY GOOD ALL THAT IS EXCUSE ME, JUST RIGHT, RIGHT? IF ALL THAT IS TRUE, THEN YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE ISSUES ALL ALONG THE OFFENSIVE LINE YOU TO ANDY THE, THE CHIEFS OFFENSIVE GOING TO HAVE ISSUES ALL LAST YEAR AND THEN ALSO YOU’RE GOING TO TACKLE AND MOORE PLAYED DECENTLY WELL AT LEFT TACKLE, WHILE SIMMONS WAS OUT DEALING WITH THE PERSONAL ISSUE EARLIER THIS YEAR. SO I DON’T NECESSARILY UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DO THAT. WHEN YOU’RE LEFT TACKLE WAS A DISASTER LAST YEAR. YOU, YOU REALLY WANT TO PUT HIM SO BAD, YOU GOT TO REMEMBER THAT THEY PUT JOE TUNIS AT THAT SPOT. WHO WAS AN ALL-PRO GUARD AND THAT ENDED UP WORKING WELL ENOUGH FOR THEM TO GET TO THE SUPER BOWL. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE WAY THAT HOUSTON’S DEFENSE HAS PLAYED IN RECENT WEEKS, I MEAN, THEY GAVE JOSH ALLEN ABSOLUTE HELL ON THAT THURSDAY NIGHT, TH THIS COULD GET UGLY QUICKLY FOR THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS, IF PATRICK MAHOMES DOES NOT HAVE A RECEIVERS AVAILABLE LIKE THAT BECAUSE THE BE A BY THE WAY, THIS POINT. 17 AND 4 NOT 1703 IN THE POST AND I KNEW AS I SAID IT, AS I SAID IT, IT’S LIKE WAIT A MINUTE. THAT MEANS THEY’VE WON 4, SUPER BOWLS, THEY’VE WON 3, THEY’VE LOST 4 TIMES IN THE POSTSEASON. SO I HANG MY HEAD IN SHAME AS THEY SHOULD TOO 17 AND 4. HOW DARE THEY, HOW DARE THEY BE ONLY 17 AND 4 IN THE POSTSEASON ON THE WAY OUT, PATRICK MAHOMES, WHO SHOWED UP ON WEDNESDAY’S INJURY REPORT, FULLY PARTICIPATING IN DID COBBLED, HE HAS SEEMED A LITTLE HOBBLED. HE ALWAYS HAS SEEMED ROBERT SOLID TOLD US AFTER HE GOT THE JETS JOB, HIS ADVICE TO THE BUCCANEERS ENTERING SUPER BOWL, 55 DON’T FALL FOR THE OLD MAN ROUTINE BETWEEN PLAYS, HE’S GOING TO BE FINE WHEN IT’S TIME TO GO. RUN THE FOOTBALL. HERE HE IS ON WHETHER OR NOT HE’D LIKE TO USE HIS LEGS MORE DOWN THE STRETCH. REALIZE HIM UTILIZE EVERYTHING. NOT JUST MY LEGS. I MEAN, YOU GOT TO UTILIZE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE UM, TO GO OUT THERE AND WIN. I MEAN, THIS IS A A REALLY GOOD FOOTBALL TEAM. THAT’S PLAYING REALLY GOOD, FOOTBALL RIGHT DEFENSE. AND SO, UM, WE’RE WE’RE AT THE THROW IT ALL OUT THERE AND TRY TO FIND A WAY TO WIN AND UM, THIS WILL BE A BIG GAME FOR US TO TO, TO SHOWCASE WHO WE ARE, AND WHO WE THINK WE CAN BE MOVING ON UM, THE REST OF THE 1 LAST QUESTION. WE GOT TO TAKE A BREAK HERE BUT IT’S A HELL OF AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE TEXANS. WE SAW THEM SEIZE IT AGAINST THE COLTS ON SUNDAY. CAN THEY GO IN THERE? AGAIN, IT’S KIND OF THAT SLAY, THE DRAGON WE’VE LOST HERE RECENTLY LIKE CAN THEY SET THAT ASIDE? AND I THINK BECAUSE THEY’RE DRIVEN BY DEFENSE NOT OFFENSE, I THINK THEY CAN I I AND I AGREE WITH YOU MIKE AND YOU KNOW, THE OTHER THING THAT THE TEXANS HAVE GOTTEN OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THAT I THINK MAKES THEM A LITTLE BIT MORE DANGEROUS THAN SOME OF THESE OTHER TEAMS THAT ARE CURRENTLY AHEAD OF THEM KNOW, NOT JUST IN THE AFC SOUTH BUT YOU KNOW IN IN THE AFC AS A WHOLE THEY’VE HAD SOME POSTSEASON EXPERIENCE, THEY’VE GONE AND THEY’VE WON GAMES IN THE POSTSEASON. NOW THEY HAVE SUCCESS ON THE ROAD. IN THE POSTSEASON, RIGHT? THEY THEY LOST KANSAS CITY. THEY LOST BALTIMORE IN THE CJ, STROUD ERA, BUT I THINK THAT THEY CAN GO TO KANSAS CITY, THEY CAN WIN AND THAT MIGHT HELP SET THEM UP TO WIN THAT AFC SOUTH AND HELL. ONCE YOU GET INTO THE PLAYOFFS YOU KNOW WE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT THIS PACK YOUR DEFENSE AND YOU KNOW PACK OR RUN GAME. WE’LL SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO WITH THE RUN BUT THEY THEIR DEFENSE IS CHAMPIONSHIP CALIBER. I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE TALKING ABOUT LAST COUPLE WEEKS, RIGHT? LIKE THAT, IT IS. AND WE ALL ARE GOING TO GET TO SEE IT. I THINK THIS WEEK, ESPECIALLY AG

  2. I cannot understand how the Chiefs are 3.5 point favorites with 3 starting OL out. The only way the Chiefs win is if CJ Stroud turns the ball over.

  5. Houston has a better record and recent record, the Chiefs are better than the Eagles but their record isn't. KC are their only cold weather games and they lost twice, the road weather may be a factor, this team has not beaten a 500 cold weather team after Thanksgiving, there are only 2 samples.

  6. The ONLY thing I'm saying is…the game is at Arrowhead. The fans during that game will go all out like we haven't seen before, knowing what a loss means. There's a chance. The team will be playing with that fire they've been missing this season, while in front of their Kingdom.

  9. Why is anyone talking about the mediocre .500 Chiefs. Unless KC is getting the refs back for the last part of the season, they're irrelevant.

  12. If the Chiefs can beat the Texans, the Broncos, and the Chargers then they have a shot. Lose any of those games and it is over. Plus they could win out and still not make the playoffs. If they make the playoffs it will be a miracle. It has been painful to watch them this year so I won't be watching the Texans game because I think they have too many injuries to pull it out and don't want to see their season end like this. Oh well, back to winning Super Bowls next year !
