I just want to see Hopkins start to get further installed in the offense. Chiefs should cover pretty easily.
Gotta have a MVP-worthy performance from Baker to make this game competitive
I'm a chiefs fan but we lost 5 games last year. This is the type of we could lose.
Mahomes had 500+ yards scrambling… behind the LOS. There was only 1 Starter on that OL left from the beginning of the year.
In the superbowl chiefs oline was swiss cheese
Bad matchup for Bucs they can’t run so baker is gonna have to outplay Pat .problem is baker has the tougher matchup the Bucs defense is cheese
The last time Baker got Mahomes was in college. He barely got him then. The Chiefs will dominate the line on both sides. 3peat incoming
I'm sorry but baker is clearly better now than his time in the browns
The Chiefs offensive line in the Super Bowl against the Bucs was down to third string guys and people signed off practice squads just a few weeks before. It was the ultimate Injury Decided game.
Mahomes last 4 INTs weren’t turnover worthy. Don’t feed the narrative that the problem with the offense is “Mahomes throwing the ball to the defense”
1. A potential touchdown is pushed out of Juju Smith-Schuster’s hands into the hands of a defensive lineman
2. Tipped pass by a defensive lineman
3. Xavier Worthy falls down while the ball is in the air
4. Mahomes’ hand is hit by a defensive lineman mid-throw
Don’t allow the shouty shows’ narrative to leak into your otherwise stellar analysis. Love your show, guys.
Good grief … chiefs by 7 . Defense makes champions
Chiefs OT's are questionable, both left and right starting tackles draw flags way too often. If the Chiefs lose it will be because of the play of the OL Tackle position.
That Chiefs Bucs SB, our OL was down to a single starter, and he was playing out of position. We literally had OL from off the streets that were on the team for 1 week. And even then Mahomes actually was making spectacular plays and his WR's (Hill especially) failed him. He bounced a TD pass off of Hill's facemask in the endzone for christs sake. You have to catch those, went right through his hands and hit him square in the face.
This an excellent opportunity to work in the new KC receiver and rusher. TB has to turn in a respectable effort to stay respectable.
This game will be close. Tampa has nothing to lose and no expectations to win.
fucking guy didn't watch the sb against the bucs apparently. Go back and see how many times mahomes threw the ball and it bounced off his players hands/face in the endzone…twice at least. mahomes played his fucking ass off, the rest of the team took the day off.
The Chiefs are slow and methodical, the defense just slowly smothers teams while the offense just adds on more points, not super exciting but good for winning
It's so weird how all these QBs get given a pass when their WRs get hurt…. But the same people are trying to say Mahomes is having a terrible year, while he's been down WR1, WR2, WR3, RB1 and RB2 lol
Can't come down hard on Baker… Mahomes has thrown a pic in every game and they are 7-0 People need to realize the game is more than QB play. I still think Baker is a good QB but Mahomes will be in the Super Bowl again because of the Team
Offensive line issues? Like 4/5 starters out? Those lil' ol' issues? 😂
😂 My Chiefs don't beat anybody by 8. They always seem to cruise until they sense danger. Would love to see some blowouts. I never expect it though
Chiefs would have won that SB if they had a healthy o line
Baker is not the problem. The defense is
Wait! What?? Because Baker got them into the playoffs last year. And was 4-2 with both his star receivers this year. Spare me your "armchair analysis" and talk about the game.
The Bucs problem is there defense tho not the offense lmfao whatre we doing baker and the Bucs offense are top 5 in most of the categories
