Here is something that wasn't mentioned in this segment. It was the intent of the Chiefs and Mahomes to be much more explosive this season. That is why they gave up draft capital to move up and spend their first round draft pick on the fastest man in the draft. That is why they signed Hollywood Brown in the offseason as a proven deep threat, stretch the field guy. But circumstances have derailed those intentions. Brown got hurt in the preseason and hasn't played a game, Worthy is raw and needs a lot of work, Rice went down with a season ending injury, Pacheco went down and has missed several games. But the piece that hurts as much as any to the explosiveness of the downfield passing attack but never gets mentioned is the abysmal play at LT. Deep routes take time to develop and Patrick has had very little. When he does seem to have it, it's often because the O-line is holding. All of this to say, that this isn't the offense that the coaching staff and GM imagined. But these are the cards that they were dealt. Good coaches adjust on the fly and Reid and Co. have done a tremendous job of doing just that.
absolutely spot on analysis... the Chiefs interior OLine has got to be one of the best in the league (Joe Thuney, Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith) and yet their tackles - especially LT - are positively awful by comparison.
Fantastic analysis, I appreciate someone who understands the game, and who also understands how the Chiefs have made the most with the team they have at hand. All the other teams use the loss of players as an excuse to their abysmal season, whereas the Chiefs ....
THIS is what sports TV should be. Ex players and professionals talking about the intricacies and nuances of the game the average fan may not think of. It shouldn’t be just narratives, gossip, and Cowboy/Laker talk🙄
@@Manelt378What sports are going on in the middle of the day? And people got tired of seeing the same highlights all day. I remember Sportscenter would just run over and over with the same highlights.
Yep, while I would LOVE for them to go undefeated, I just don’t see it because they will probably sit starters Week 17 if they already have the 1 seed wrapped. It’ll be interesting though because a lot of teams don’t like their starters to sit 2 weeks - can be more detrimental due.
The Patriots were my favorite team since I saw them beat Carolina in the Super Bowl early 2000s. Really happy for McCourty to be succeeding and on TV. That piece he shared was awesome.
We might forget that if not for some off the field "stuff" Kareem Hunt might not have ever left the Chefs in the first place. His production now that he's back with KC is not surprising at least to me.
Not surprisingly at all . Nick Chubb was the bell cow in Cleveland so Kareem doesn’t have the mileage on him that a RB his age usually has, that’s why he can play like this and he’ll be even better when Pop get back nobody tryna tackle them two in the cold all night in January
Brady just never had the full complement of weapons except for the perfect season with Moss. Show me Mahomes with a basement budget offence and let that settle the GOAT debate.
I was thinking that Dhop would be a key piece for Chiefs when I saw the trade, then I watched the MNF game and it proved me right. I wanna see Hopkins succeed in KC and I want him to win a chip! This was one of the best football discussions I've seen take place this season.
Chiefs also have extra motivation playing for Kareem Hunt, especially Patrick and Travis who were always tight with him. Imagine getting (rightfully) cut the year before their first SB and then having to watch them win all 3 without him, after he had lied to Reid and ownership about his incident. Years later he matured and worked his way back in their good graces, and when opportunity arose, they brought him back and he's balling. You just know Pat, Trav, and the rest of the team will be trying to get him a chip also. As if there wasn't already enough motivation.
Credit to the Chiefs front office and Brett Veach most importantly They did not rest on their laurels and attacked the trade market in acquiring Juju and DHop and Kareem Hunt off the couch. Thus, continuing to give Patrick a chance instead of just putting pressure on him to make miracles
Playing with Mahomes wins you superbowls. Not playing with him means you're not playing anywhere. (Kadarius Toney, Richie James, J. Mckinnon...) MVS had 2 catches on 9 targets through 6 games and got fired. But please, let's talk more about all of Mahomes super teams and the defense carrying him.
Orlavsky totally hit it. The Chiefs NEVER try to be explosive in the regular season now. They sit on their best plays and save them for the playoffs and SB. They are done this the last 2 SB runs.
Mahomes said years ago he wanted to break the Canton Bulldogs record of going 25 games without a loss. That will happen if the Chiefs win or tie the rest of the way.
Once Juju, Pacheco, and Brown all get healthy for the playoff run.. The Chiefs are gonna be loaded.. oh and by the way.. Rice is making cryptic tweets about healing.. I wouldnt count him out to return for the playoffs just yet.. WR- 1. Hopkins 2. Brown 3. Rice(?) 4. Worthy 5. Juju 6. Watson 7. Hardman TE- 1. Kelce 2. Gray 3. Pendershot RB- 1A. Isiah Pacheco 1B. Kareem Hunt 2. Carson Steele 3. Samaje Perine Stacked.. if they get a 3peat and keep this group in tow for next year, why not a 4peat!! 😂
This is stupid. DHOP used to be like moss. DHOP is older and washed. Sure he had a good game but he was ALOT older than moss was when he went to New England
In his on field interview after the Monday night game Dhop says "patience, me and my mom always knew i would be at the point, we knew I'd be here just had to be patient". What exactly does people think he was referring to? Catching TDs on Monday night? Na he's did that, was it beating the Raiders? Na he's did that, was it playing for the Chiefs? Na he had the opportunity last year, so what exactly was he being patient about? Now that he's in KC he can see how locked in everyone is for the MAIN goal and he knows what's finna happen. Dhop will win a ring this year, hide and watch.

They don't talk enough about the WORSE offensive tackle play in the NFL.#CHIEFSKINGDOM

Thank you for taking the time to write that. I’m new to NFL (I’m Australian) so find such articulate and intelligent insights as yours very helpful.

The titans have given the Chiefs the exact piece we needed them to not have , a star veteran big body who can get open in tight spaces 😅 #3peat
with great hands and high football IQ. we're all screwed.
I always said Patrick need a possession receiver with a wide catch radius and D-Hop is the the perfect receiver
Left Tackle is the exact reason Chiefs won't win. They're stuck w no LT. Very, very alarming!
I read it as big booty
Well y'all got our best CB who we wanted and who wanted to stay... Good trade is say😅😅
One Of My Favorite Segment 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
If KC gets the 1 seed… it’s just 2 home games to make the SB. Really important for this team to get that bye week, since won’t have one since week 6.
yea then have 3 games in 10 days in December too
If they go 6-3 the rest of the year they are fine.All other teams will have 5+ losses. Chiefs won't have over 3.
@@MikkiChavezagreed i expect them to be 15-2 14-3 worse case maybe 16-1 best case

One of the best football segments of the season. Thank you.

D.Hop looks real good in red, and will look even better with some extra "jewlery"!
Yeah Cardinal Red
That triple coverage catch was more impressive but I luv dem Tuddies!
Great take by Brusky
100%
The Patriots were my favorite team since I saw them beat Carolina in the Super Bowl early 2000s. Really happy for McCourty to be succeeding and on TV. That piece he shared was awesome.
The chiefs Monday night performance is just the beginning of what's in store for the NFL
THIS is football talk right here!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I agree with both of you 👍🏾
A perfect season 3-peat theyd be the greatest team ever. Argue with a wall 😮💨
OnGod
Mahomes GOAT discussion would tip on his side if he gets a 3peat and an undefeated record in the same season
@@insomniablanketwould tip? Lmao he'd be the GOAT.... UNDISPUTED, HANDS DOWN BEST FOOTBALL PLAYER EVER if he goes undefeated & win.
@MikkiChavez I'm a lifelong Chiefs fan, but there are Brady zealots who won't acknowledge Patrick's accolades.
Brady just never had the full complement of weapons except for the perfect season with Moss. Show me Mahomes with a basement budget offence and let that settle the GOAT debate.
We gotta start talking about how good Andy Reid is taking all this talent and using them to the best of they abilities
I was thinking that Dhop would be a key piece for Chiefs when I saw the trade, then I watched the MNF game and it proved me right. I wanna see Hopkins succeed in KC and I want him to win a chip! This was one of the best football discussions I've seen take place this season.
Exactly
Never thought I would see Schefter bring something relevant and insightful to the conversation.
Chiefs also have extra motivation playing for Kareem Hunt, especially Patrick and Travis who were always tight with him. Imagine getting (rightfully) cut the year before their first SB and then having to watch them win all 3 without him, after he had lied to Reid and ownership about his incident.

Credit to the Chiefs front office and Brett Veach most importantly
They did not rest on their laurels and attacked the trade market in acquiring Juju and DHop and Kareem Hunt off the couch.
Thus, continuing to give Patrick a chance instead of just putting pressure on him to make miracles
There is NO BETTER SITUATIONAL QB, that #15
This is the conversation the Chiefs have earned to have about them
KC will win the AFC West and will be in the AFC Championship
If and when Hollywood comes back, im going to be ecstatic to see what happens, not just this year but next as well.

TALK ABOUT IT! FACTS! 🗣️🔊
Not mentioning Joshua Uchee is crazy
Orlavsky totally hit it. The Chiefs NEVER try to be explosive in the regular season now. They sit on their best plays and save them for the playoffs and SB. They are done this the last 2 SB runs.
Exactly
Put some soundproofing in that room. The audio is irritating.
Yeah together with JUJU there too
D-Hop? Best third down team.
Its coaching coaching coaching. Chiefs have a top notch if not the best organization rite now. From Veach all the down to the water boys and girls..
I'm in KC and love the wins here but Hops was like getting a cheat code.
Brett Veach is the GM GOAT!!!
Veach asked me in a restaurant in 2016 what I thought of Mahomes. I didn't know who Mahomes was. I know now!
@@Idlewyld You didn't know who a record setting QB in college was? I guess you don't watch any college football at all.
Dont really like Anything Teddy says, But this is Clutch.
A BIGGER "WHY" ...YOU WANNA WIN FOR YOUR GUY❤
thanks titans 🙄
They're just following orders
The Script rules all!
@@Rew123get a grip
Randy sitting there thinking "but you didnt get me one"
It was the Defense’ fault too smh. Love Bruschi but you got a point lmao
Mahomes said years ago he wanted to break the Canton Bulldogs record of going 25 games without a loss. That will happen if the Chiefs win or tie the rest of the way.
Kareem hunt imo was a bigger pickup than dhop so far.
Watch them take Loveland or Warren in the draft as the long term Kelce replacement
KC WASHINGTON Super bowl this season..QBs will and can scramble and thats hard to beat
Others think a repeat of SBIV against the Vikings
@@davidgiles9651 possibly
Dhop only has a 1.5% drop rate.
That’s cap tho 1:18 rashee rice had 8 tds in the red zone last year if I’m not mistaken 💯 it was either 7 or 8
I think he meant 2 TD's by same receiver in a game... That hasn't been done since 2021
DHop already has a chemistry with Pat thats rival to Kelce.
Once Juju, Pacheco, and Brown all get healthy for the playoff run.. The Chiefs are gonna be loaded.. oh and by the way.. Rice is making cryptic tweets about healing.. I wouldnt count him out to return for the playoffs just yet..
WR-
1. Hopkins
2. Brown
3. Rice(?)
4. Worthy
5. Juju
6. Watson
7. Hardman
TE-
1. Kelce
2. Gray
3. Pendershot
RB-
1A. Isiah Pacheco
1B. Kareem Hunt
2. Carson Steele
3. Samaje Perine
Stacked.. if they get a 3peat and keep this group in tow for next year, why not a 4peat!! 😂
The bills game has will have a major impact on #1 seed if kc wins next 2 games against Broncos and bills AfC #1seed is KC and its over by December 8
F what they say K.C. Chiefs Kingdom all day.
If they get hollywood brown back.
ALL LION'S FANS NEED TO WATCH THIS LMFAO
Honestly… we are actually going for the 4peat.
Just sayin.
DHOP❤
Bro said recess 🤣
I've seen soooo many spot on passes from Mahomes that got dropped in some way. DHop might be alike a cheat code with Mahomes.
Shame on the Texans for the way they handled D Hop, he should’ve retired a Texan
Wow. Did they just admit that Brady had a team that helped him win?
One man's waste is another man's soap · your whole fanbase know the brother-man's dope. #KingdomeKCome #DOOMHopkins
Soap eh.... Idk about this rhyme good sir
Hopkins going to HOF
Bars!
Sorry Randy
whole new? The guy was in Tenn he didn't belong there with that QB. Plus King Henry ran the show literally
Just like Brady-Moss? Bad comparison, Mahomes isn't a cheater.
The thing is mahomes wayyyyyyyyy younger
How many teams have had a 19 play, 10 minute drive ? Chiefs, who else ??
First time dans made sense. Lol
Who keeps giving 0-16 a platform?
❤💛❤️💛🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is stupid. DHOP used to be like moss. DHOP is older and washed. Sure he had a good game but he was ALOT older than moss was when he went to New England

Impossible no he not what he use to be and Hopkins will be their downfall watch.
D Hop a Beast, but we should have gone for DK, imho.
Why they segregated tho?
Lmfao
😂😂😂😭
Pat mahommes is a dog all I gotta say with out without he gonna get them wins
Tom Brady cheated the game of football. Stop with the goat talk
They continue to disrespect Kareem Hunt like he's not carrying that team.
He ISN'T 😅
Carrying that team especially when he wasn't there and they were winning games with Carson Steele as the lead back
Let’s get one for DHop!
We almost beat them with our tip two receivers out so not really Dan....plus it's the refs that make them impossible to beat not dhop
