Bears are ‘legit’ despite loss to Packers, Is the Chiefs dynasty officially over? | The Herd

Well, we said before the season, Jay Max said, Chiefs won’t make the playoffs. I said they will, but the dynasty is over, um, and it looks like. This is how they end, and you were watching it last night, so trust your eyes. They look a little slower. They don’t look like Seattle. They don’t, they don’t look like the Packers. Uh, Travis Kelsey, another big drop. They can’t generate a consistent pass rush. The O-line got pushed around. They don’t have a running game. Even Andy Reid, tie game, kind of takes a big swing, didn’t have to, gave the Texans points. So, this is how dynasties end. They don’t fall off a cliff. They dominate for years, go to Super Bowls, win, win Super Bowls, and then they start winning really close games. That was Kansas City last year. And then they start losing all those close games. Oh, wait, that’s Kansas City this year. So, again, you watch the Rams. Yesterday, you watched Seattle in a blowout win. You watched Green Bay or the Lions, you see the youth and aggressive and speed and remarkably electric players. I saw some of that from the Texans last night. There was, there’s no question watching that game, and I thought, uh, warm weather, Houston, up in the cold weather, Texans were the better team, more elite athletes. Now, when they, when they pay CJ Stroud, you know, 400 million plus, they’ll start looking like Kansas City. But I mean, again, Patrick Mahomes once again had to be. They don’t want him to be the leading rusher. That’s not what Kansas City wants, but Mahomes had to be the leading rusher. And do you know what the Chiefs are when he is? 0-4 this year. They don’t want him to be the leading rusher. They don’t want him to take those hits. Travis Kelsey, it’s over. Brett Veitz, the GM’s gotta rebuild that D-line and O-line. They got a hit on their draft picks. But this is what happens when you pay a superstar quarterback and you’re drafting at the bottom of the 1st round, in the bottom of the 2nd, and the bottom of the 3rd. Teams catch up. The NFL doesn’t want dynasties. They, they don’t need dynasties. Everybody gets huge ratings these days. What they want is, you can be dominant for a few years. We’d love you to have a superstar quarterback, but you’re gonna get lousy draft picks, and you’re gonna have to pay him and the roster is gonna get thin. And when I watched Kansas, this is why Brady and New England kept rebooting their, you know, their tight ends, their wide receivers, their running backs, their old line with very few exceptions. I mean, Kansas City this year, on 3rd down, 3rd down is my favorite down in the NFL because you can judge a lot. You can judge. Coaching, line play, uh, how smart your quarterback is. Kansas City this year, 35% on 3rd down. That’s what the Raiders and Jets territory is. So they’re just, that’s the reality of it. Trust your eyes, and you can call Kansas City. They need a reboot. I think it’s closer to a rebuild. That offensive line is a mile from the Rams. It’s a mile from the Bronco. I watched the Broncos yesterday. I mean, a guy. Point, Bo Nix is 25 or 30. It’s just pitch and catch. They can run, they can pass, they have time. So, Kansas City’s got some work to do. The O-line does not get a push. They don’t really have a top back. The Texans were absolutely the better team. Patrick Mahomes’ passer rating, can’t blame it on him. He didn’t have as good people around him. But I thought the Andy Reid go for it tied at 10. Andy sees it. Andy senses it. Andy understands. Andy had never done that before. He had never called that, that deep in his territory, 4th quarter tied game. He’d never done that before. And Andy Reid knows what he’s doing, but he understands what’s happening. The margins are not only shrinking, they’re gone. They’re the second-best team on the field when they played Denver or last night when they played the Texans. OK, so let’s talk. Packers, Bears at Lambeau. This game was not about Green Bay. Green Bay was a touchdown favorite. Green Bay was at home. Green Bay is a team we talked about the last 30 years, whether it’s Jordan Love, Aaron Rodgers, or Brett Favre. Green Bay is always in the Super Bowl conversation. This game was about the Chicago Bears. Are they legit? So they go to Philadelphia and win, and what’s everybody say? Well, I mean, the Eagles, yeah, they’re broken. Uh, the Bears, this is a, this is a real game. Yeah, I watched it. That’s the best loss by any team in the NFL. Chicago’s legit. They dominate the second half. They do a lot of things good teams do. They win the turnover battle. They take the ball away. They run the ball. They’ve got a smart offensive coach. They’re very dynamic at quarterback. Yes, Caleb Williams is uneven, so is Bo Nix. So are all the young quarterbacks not named Drake May. They’re all uneven. So what? Of course, Jordan Love looks more polished and refined, because at this point, Jordan Love’s a top 5 or 6 quarterback. Of course, he looks better than Caleb Williams. This is his 6th year in the league. That’s a lot of practice and a lot of games. Of course, Matt LaFleur in Green Bay. Looks more polished and making big plays late to seal the win. This is what Green Bay’s been doing for 3 decades. But for Bears, this is a whole new ballgame. This was new territory. The country was watching, and they dominated the second half. And yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. Uh, and Kayla Williams does not throw a lot of picks. I, I didn’t know if they were gonna get a touchdown. I was surprised he threw an interception. He acknowledged it after the game. But the truth is, go look at those last two at Lambeau. Chicago drives against great Green Bay’s defense. Jeff Halfley’s defense is fantastic. They had a 17-play, 8.5 minute drive. That is it. No, nobody’s doing that against the Packers. Nobody this year. Then they followed up with a 60 yards in 3 minutes. So they can score quick, they can move the ball fast, they can beat you up, they can go 18 plays. They’re doing it in the second half. You and I watched that game. You know who was gassed in the second half? It wasn’t the Bears. The Packers’ defense was gassed, and that Green Bay defense is well-coached and really good, and they were tired. So, this is all new territory. And the good news for Chicago, yes, you lost, but you get the Lions at home. You get this Green Bay team at home. So, the Chicago Bears are still gonna control the destiny. But we talk about this all the time. When you look at teams, I mean, to me, I, I, losing that game, I was like, that’s about as good as a loss is. Those last two drives for Chicago, and again, Caleb Williams isn’t gonna look as polished. As Jordan Love, of course, you know how many, I mean, Jordan Love sat for 3 years before he got the keys to the car. And it’s a Mercedes, you know, it’s a nice car in Green Bay. So, he looks, I mean, he, he throws the ball now like Aaron used to. And now all the Green Bay receivers, Watson’s healthy and Reed’s ready to go. So, they’ve drafted well. Green Bay is a Super Bowl team. Green Bay is a polished, refined, brilliantly coached, um, execution, efficiency, smart, development. Everything about Green Bay is polished, class, excellent. Chicago? A whole new ballgame. And I thought they looked fantastic in the second half. Generally speaking, the most important half, and that’s all it was. A couple more plays. I think Chicago, there’s an argument. The Bears were the last team. That everybody acknowledged, OK, they’re legit. Like, a couple of weeks ago with New England, we watched New England clobber another team and we’re like, OK, New England’s legit. And we know Buffalo with Josh Allen’s good. Most of the time by Thanksgiving, you know who’s really good. But we were all questioning Chicago, myself included, because they were winning, but they were barely winning against average teams. Uh, I think Jay Mac and I said it last week, Green Bay may be the best team in the league. And they, at Lambeau in lousy weather, took them to the final plays, totally impressed with it. Sometimes, you know, Not all wins are good ones. You can win a football game and lose 5 starters to injuries, and not all losses are awful. Some of them are a barometer of where you are. If I’m Chicago, bussing home, I’m like, we can play with anybody. Because if you can play against Green Bay in Lambeau, you can play with anybody. You can play with the Rams, you can play. We just saw them beat Philly. You can play with the Lions. You, I mean, God, Baltimore, Buffalo, Kansas City don’t look as dominant. I mean, a lot of people don’t buy New England. I do. So, uh, that’s about as good a loss as you can have.

The Houston Texans beat the Kansas City Chiefs 20-10, and Patrick Mahomes threw 3 INTs. Colin Cowherd dissects the game and asks if the Chiefs dynasty is officially over after a 6-7 start. Plus, Colin discusses the Green Bay Packers beating the Chicago Bears 28-21 in “the best loss a team has had all season”.
