Rich Eisen Breaks Down the Chiefs’ (Extremely) Slim Playoff Chances | The Rich Eisen Show

Meanwhile, Kansas City Chiefs, they’re I gave you scenarios for playoff clinching scenarios for week 15 and the Chiefs are, as you know, not among them. Um, normally they are. Last year they had already clinched the division by this point. Yeah. And we were just talking about what about the one seed. There are playoff elimination elimination scenarios for three AFC teams this week. Cincinnati’s eliminated from a playoff loss if they just lose to playoff contention with a loss to Baltimore. Period. The Dolphins uh have an elimination scenario. They’ll know when they take the field in Pittsburgh on Monday night. If Buffalo beats New England and Houston beats Arizona, they lose, they’re out. Wow. The Kansas City Chiefs, sir, there’s a playoff eliminating scenario for them. Wow. Wow. If they lose to the Chargers, Buffalo beats New England, Jacksonville beats the Jets, and Houston beats Arizona, they’re out. They’re eliminated. That is very possible. They are done playing meaningful football for the final three weeks of the season. How about that? That would be crazy. But let’s be a bit more of a positivity rabbit situation and let’s go rabbit hunting cuz there is a scenario in which the Chiefs make the playoffs. Wabbit Rich and I am going to lay it out for y’all in advance of Paul Rudd joining us in hour number three. And here it is. The Kansas City Chiefs. All they got to do is win out. Okay. Have the Chargers lose two of their last three because part of the winning out would be beating the Chargers this week. Yep. Two of their last three. And one of those losses the Chargers have to have is losing at Denver in week 18. The other two games are at Dallas and home for Houston. That’s possible. Possible. They got to have the Colts and Philip Rivers or Riley Leonard lose twice. Oh. and then have neither the Ravens nor the Dolphins win out. Okay. And if that happens, your seven seed potentially visiting either Denver or New England in wild card weekend. We can’t have that. Would be Pat Brock’s like the Kansas City Chiefs. Let me tell you what you don’t want. That that now Yeah. Don’t want that. Is this a what’s more likely Wednesday right now? What’s more likely? The Chiefs get eliminated this week. This elimination scenario or this happens. They get eliminated this week. I’m with Chris. Why? Because you think the Chargers don’t lose three of their last four. Because you can’t sit here and say the Ravens and the Dolphins are winning out, right? Ravens and the Dolphins are not winning out, right? Right. No. Let’s take it one piece at a time. Are the Colts winning three of their last four with Philip Rivers? Probably not. Okay. But I don’t think are hold on a second. You don’t think the Chiefs are winning out, right? That’s the thing. Well, the Kansas City Chiefs have the rest of the way the Chargers at home. Okay. Then they are at Tennessee. Then they have Denver at home and they’re at Vegas. Which one of them gets him in Arrowhead? Uh on Sunday because they’re not losing on the road on Sunday. You think the Chargers go in, sweep the Chiefs, potentially end their season? Yeah, the Chargers are a better team than Kansas City. Yeah, but a better team doesn’t always win. I just saying this is more than a dumb and dumber. You’re saying I’ve got a chance here going to Arrowhead. Now, the problem is again they they’ve lost four of their last five and have not looked like a team that can rip off four in a row because they can’t string together two, three clean drives. That’s the problem. Two, three clean quarters. That’s the right now. at every single mistake is getting magnified whether it’s a Mahomes pick or a um a misconnection or dropped pass. Now decision then that’s a that’s a different story. You know, if Justin Herbert can’t go or gets knocked out, the Chargers I think have the the most the Chargers and the Bears have the most difficult final four games both of of anybody that I’m sitting here and seeing. I mean, the the Bears final four games are home for Cleveland, okay? But still at Green, a home for Green Bay, at San Francisco and Detroit, but the Chargers are are for gauntlet runs here, man. As I mentioned, the Chargers have a visit to Kansas City, a visit to Dallas, home for Houston, and a visit to Denver. And if they lose three of their last four and one of them is to Denver and the Colts lose twice and neither the Ravens nor the Dolphins win out, the Chiefs win out and they’re in the playoffs. That’s the 16% from the old NextG stat generator. So what’s going to happen for the Kansas City Chiefs whose record is in fact it is going to be good. this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They’re like gonna be good. As I would say, that’s the setup, guys. This is what’s so cool about the NFL this year is there’s not that team that we know is going to win. Yeah. Unless it’s the Rams most Sundays right now. Hey, you made it all the way to the end. Thanks for that. Check us out every single day streaming live on Disney Plus and the ESPN app 12 to 3 Eastern.

  5. Rich: If a butterfly lands on the right blade of grass, at the tight time of day, at the right exact angle. It will knock off a water droplet, and that droplet will fall down onto the exact right beetle. That beetle will carry that water to the exact right plant. Then that plant…

    Give it up rich lmao 😂

  12. watching rich talk about the chiefs has not only made me doubt his credibility, but it’s opened my eyes to the the fact that this entire show isnt delivering almost any actual analysis.

  31. Kelce he the blame for the lack of drop passes and hunt and rice couldn't even catch it worthy did all more than them and pacheco checked out from getting yards then go to the side line after each play it was pissing me off I was bout to punch the life out of my flat screen

  33. It appears that Rich is wrong here – all the Chargers need to do is win one of their remaining three AFC conference games. Chiefs record in the conference is 3-5, Chargers is 7-2. If Chargers win one conference game they have the tiebreaker over Chiefs. First tiebreaker after head to head (which would be tied assuming Chiefs beat Chargers on Sunday) is division record – Chargers are 4-0, so worst they could be is 4-2. Chiefs are 1-2, so best they can be is 4-2. Tie. So if the Chargers beat Denver or Houston, Chargers have TB based on better record vs. AFC

  34. I know no one is expecting KC to lose to TEN or OAK because they’re two of the worst teams in the NFL, but… KC’s road record has been ATROCIOUS this year, for all the reasons Rich has repeatedly laid out. The Titans have played teams close lately. Oakland is a division game so you can (sort of) throw records out. Rich is acting like those road games are gimmes when that is far from the case. This ain’t the old Chiefs anymore. The parts are all still there, but they don’t operate quite the same way.

  35. When are we going to stop talking about this less than average football team. They’re not good this year, it’s not the end of the world. Mahomes isn’t young anymore, the rest of the team isn’t young anymore. They are overpaying old talent. It is what it is. They had their time and it came to an end. Move on

  37. The only reason that Rich won't write the Chiefs off is very simple – Patrick Mahomes. If they had another quarterback playing with the same record he would say they are done. I just wonder if he has been watching the Chiefs play bad the whole year.
