National Nightmare… The Chiefs May Be Better Than Ever?! | Pat McAfee Show

The Chiefs isn’t still the Chiefs. They’re better. Oh no. Oh, I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news. I think we’re all seeing it. Okay. Sports book saw it before any of us. Yes. They’re the ones to change the odds immediately. Somehow they must have had a little conversation inside. Okay. When Rasheed Rice obviously comes back, they’re going to have another weapon. Okay. And with Worthy being faster than everybody on the field, they’re going to have their this year’s version of their Tyreek Hill. Travis Kelce is going to somehow drink from the fountain of youth. Kareem Hunt’s going to do the same damn thing. They’re going to start having more weapons than everybody else. And then, oh yeah, Patrick Mahomes is going to make a decision that he’s just not going to lose anymore. That’s what Patrick Mahomes says he’s going to do. He’ll run through you. He’ll run around you. And then the defensive side of the ball. Hold the phone. They have a shut out. Are they good, too, Dudge? Uh, well, look, you you got to factor in the opponent here. Whoa. Kenny Picket play. That man’s a Super Bowl champ. Exactly. Exactly my point. So, they ran 30 plays on offense. I don’t know what that should be a record at least in the last 15. Yeah, that’s that’s unbelievable. Yeah, you know, Spags and that defense is going to figure it out and start huming and start playing well, but Patrick Mahomes is the first game I believe with Worthy, Hollywood, Brown, and Rasheed Rice on the field at the same time. And you mentioned Travis Kelce find that fountain youth. Yeah, definitely he’s going to be open. That intermediate part of the field has to be open because as defenses and DBs, we got to get the hell back with all these guys running 42s all around the field. So Andy Reid, you know, they’re going to figure it out. Spags is going to figure it out. And the tub on the special teams in that third phase, he’s going to figure it out as well. So yeah, it’s not not a great moment for uh any teams in the AFC, any teams in the NFL really when his team in red is humming. We saw Travis Kelce on the Aerys tour come out on stage, save his lady. Okay. Do that the whole thing. We saw him Happy Gilmore nail it. Absolutely nail it. Obviously, we’ve seen Patrick Mahomes do some commercials and we seen him out there kind of doing his thing. You saw him do a little uh thespian uh for the fake. Oh yeah. Yeah. Huh. Like run it. Going for it on their own 40 on fourth and a foot. Tried to draw him offside. never works, man. Sorry. Mome says coach, it doesn’t Oh, there they go. He was faking it. He was faking it. Holy hell, bro. Ah, that’s genius. I love everything about it. Couple of the linebackers look like they weren’t falling for it. But just all you need is one D lineman just to be like, “Oh yeah, we aren’t falling for it, brother.” Whoa. We’re out of nowhere. Love the fake spike anytime anybody does it. And I guess we’re going to, you know, anytime Patty Showtime Mahomes starts putting on a Broadway act in the middle of a show, I’m going to buy cuz I think he sold it pretty good. I mean, he fooled what Tony Romo played with 15 years in the league. He foo he fooled the hell out of Tony. Now, I’m sure a lot of people probably hated that from Tony, but I I loved it. I think it actually made I think it made it better. Look, thing about Tony, you feel like he’s excited watching the game. So, I could appreciate that from him. And uh we know we seen Patrick M. You you you never know what to expect with this bunch. Whether it’s spinning around in a huddle in the red area or something, they always got something up their sleeve. So, this was and it’s the Raiders show. Why not go for it? Yeah. I mean, it’s only seven nothing at that point. Little did they know that that would be the Raiders final score. Uh, and Pete Carol, I don’t know if he’s loving necessarily coming back into coaching to be the Raiders. And what’s that conversation later? We’ll certainly ask Shaft here in a matter of moments. And now, let’s talk about a quarterback who’s playing like the best version of himself. And boy, is it great to see. I think we saw this version a couple years back. Now, maybe even in a bigger form. Yeah. Once uh 15 and Rick gets hum, everybody gets to kind of shake it in their boot. What’s going on? What are you seeing with Patrick Mahomes in this office? I feel like he’s been great all year, but we just saw yesterday with him having his weapons, having Hollywood, Rasheed Rice being back in the building, worthy, all those guys been on the field for the first time. Uh, at the same time, what are you seeing with this offense and what do you expect going forward? Conviction and trust. And those are two words that Patrick and Andy Reid and Matt Naggie just did not have a lot of last year, rightfully so. The conviction to to believe in one protection and two, the people around them. You see the ball distribution. I think they had like nine or 10 dudes catch passes and de but for me it’s if you just watch the creative design of the plays that tells me Andy Reed and Matt Naggie trust those people on the field cuz we weren’t seeing it over the last year up until like three weeks ago it has started and they’re back to some of the motion stuff. They’re back to creating some of the one-on- ons for perimeter players. If you see yesterday how they would take on a consistent basis Kelsey on one side of the ball, Rasheed Rice on the other side of the ball and you notice like it balances their formation, then what are you going to run? You’re going to run zone, you’re going to run man. I’ll start with Travis and the work opposite. And just we’re seeing more plays where Patrick is um you know, not leaving the pocket too soon, but they’re just giving him the opportunity to say, “Hey, does the initial read hit?” Great. Get it out of your hands. And if not, Patrick, go make some special plays. It’s not out of a running for your life necessity. It’s out of the, oh, I have time to maneuver a little bit. That’s a big difference than last year. And so, um, I probably undervalued the impact of Worthy and Rice on their offense. Having those two guys back, man, trust and conviction from everybody in that offense. Rasheed Rice last 17 games, including playoffs, equivalent of one full season. 106 catches on 139 targets, two drops. 1,169 yards, 61 first downs, nine touchdowns, and they were force feeding them, too. It was very much like, “Welcome back.” Their offense. Yeah, they’re very much like, “Welcome back. We It is great to have you.” And, uh, who knows what they do before the trade deadline, too. You never know with this Kansas City Chiefs team. And as soon as they showed a glimpse of being great again, the sports books just go, “Yep, they’re the favorite and he’s the favorite.” Even though nobody else was seeing it at the time. QB that we’re thinking maybe MVP conversation is the guy Patrick Mahomes. Hey, I I don’t want to say this because it sounds disrespectful. Uh Patrick Mahomes is uh the greatest at football again. Okay. And the only reason why I’m saying that is because he’s playing like he was playing a couple years ago. So their offense kind of transitioned into a different offense whether it was the personnel that they had. Remember there was a time where they didn’t have anybody catch the ball. So they had to go on the run game. They had to do defense. They had to be very conservative. There was a time where he was wide open throwing it all over the place. Running all over the place. And they’ve had success both ways. Feels like we’re back to showtime. Patch Mahomes. Feels like it’s time. He’ll put the team on his back if he has to, but we’re throwing the ball over the place. We’re no looking. We’re doing absurd on a regular basis. And uh we It’ll be a headline here in about a second. Everybody knows what’s going on with the Chiefs right now. As soon as anybody starts seeing some of these highlights, Rasheed Rice is back. How you doing? Keep it moving. Let’s go ahead and force feed him a couple touchdowns. Make sure he feels welcome. We got Worthy as well. Oh yeah. And we got Travis. Oh yeah. And we got And we got And we got And we got Oh yeah. And we got Patrick Mahomes from a couple years ago when he was putting a team on his damn back as opposed to the conservative offense Patrick Mahomes that he had to be. Once again, I don’t want to say that he was doing anything by choice. Had to do it to win it. This is exciting. This is electrifying. And this is why as soon as the sports book saw a glimpse of it. There was like one game three weeks ago where Patrick Mahomes started moving. They’re like, “Yep, yep. He’s the favorite. Let’s go ahead and put him right back up there with what they’re going to do. That AFC West is tough. There’s the odds. Obviously, we didn’t put Baker on today’s uh list of MVPs that we saw over the weekend cuz he plays tonight. So, let’s go ahead and get excited about that. Same with Jared Goff. So, we apologize for not doing that. And uh yeah, I I think there’s a lot of great football right now with no standalones for who the MVP is.
