Rodgers and it is now squarely on the shoulders of Patrick
Mahomes and Josh, Alan that is. Yep. The Chiefs offense was
awesome and this went against a 49ers defense that still
a little banged up yes, some injuries there, kinlaw
arik Armstead. Bought had boasts a back right on
the offensive side. Head trip Williams back so not as banged
up as they had been
and it was still a blowout here Chiefs, Chiefs 144
223, let's just us Just take a look at,
let's take a look at the 49ers. Yeah, well let's take a look at
the graphic here because I think this kind of tells
the story. It's the 49ers defense you know injuries and all had
been very good. The first six weeks of the season,
14 points, allowed,
they gave up 44 against the Chiefs. It was almost. It was
more than double The Yards. 529 yards allowed against
the Chiefs.
They were averaging 255 allowed. I mean, just every
number a low around the the, the offense, for the Chiefs,
whiling away up significantly over with the 49ers.
Given up in the past. So
was this a case of alarm Bells going off for the 49ers like,
oh, what, what's going on here? Or is the Chiefs, or is it just
that good of an offense right now that it doesn't matter who
they play again? I think that's where we got
to get to a little bit. But I think the big thing is
you have to be a special defense and you got to be
somewhat at full strength to think you're going to slow down
or make things life hard on them. Right. That's for sure
and then of course you caught on a week where
they lost the game where they probably feel like they should
have one in Buffalo so you Caught them. You caught
the Chiefs and
oh s***, we're not, we're going to follow the four and three if
we lose this, you know, game. So you caught him in that mode
and I think
that I'm and you're saying it right. I think we're getting to
a point here. I don't really know if it matters. What
defense comes to town? It's like 85 Bears are here. I'm
still going to say they flirt with
25:28 300 yards, passing it just doesn't matter
and that's where I get into
the.
I feel like they have more to defend this year than ever
before.
All right one you've heard me saving the start of the year.
I think that them not having Tyree kills actually going to
be a benefit for their football team.
I don't know if I'm totally right on that yet but so far it
looks pretty good and I don't mean that when I say that to be
disrespectful to Tyree kill these amazing.
I just think this is one team where
big plays are not a problem,
right? They got enough weapons and they got a quarterback that
like Josh Alan there's always looking for the big play so it
doesn't they don't have to like have the extra pressure of wait
oh wait I gotta go.
142 and we lined them up and we got them on the Deep route. So
I got to throw the ball deep to him every time. Every time we
call that play, I got to throw it and that's where I feel like
he was a little bit caught in that
Matrix, the last two years.
Now it's like let the were offense work for me.
I got plenty of guys to throw the ball to
and I think they're giving you more to defend on the offensive
side of the ball. They're running the ball, just a little
bit more there's a few more tricks and reverses and speed
sweeps there a better screen team this year.
So I think with all that and we've talked about their
offensive line I think is still one of the better pass
protecting the lines in all of football. I think all that
leads to
hey, 49ers your defense is still really good and I'm not
panicked, but
You can't mess. Wait, you got to be full strength to mess
with that team and then to me, you know, that that's that's
a huge deal. They need kinlaw, they need Armstead,
they need those type of guys, to get them off the field on
a third down or some of these first and second down games,
where it's just not like, oh they got 10 yards on second
down
that that to me is the big thing. I'm it, I think you kind
of hit it. It's just a special team and offense were watching
here and we're seeing the weapons emerge and I kind of
write them to. It was interesting in the backfield
Pacheco, got the start
Think over Clyde Edwards away, although they both played quite
a bit and this game didn't run a whole lot. Didn't need ya
whole they just they just keep you honest with it right?
I mean right. I mean you watch them. It's just like
they don't let you just go total past events all the time
once they start to go, wait are you gonna pass arches like this
and you're going to leave a
the guard uncovered here, right? Like our old guard
bubble play, they're like okay, fine. Geez. If you're gonna
just basically let us block it perfectly, how we want to will
hand it off and that's where they're good. And then, of
course, with their Ankles and all that too. And then you're
saying
it, right? There's weapons emerging because they're all like,
man. The offense is fun and he spread the ball around, and
we're all going to get to touch it. And when's it gonna be my
turn and I think that's just kind of infectious with their
team right now. And that's where,
you know, they're fun to watch their in another level of
the Niners right now. They are the Chiefs, the bills, and
the Eagles are on another level from the rest of footballs hard
to see. Anyone is all that
close to them. I don't even know who that would be. I think.
Right? We said it last week, especially like,
I mean because the Eagles were
all right.
The Cowboys, I think our it would DAC. And then that pass
game gets going. Maybe the team that I'd go there on the verge
or there on the, you know, outer Brinks of those three
teams may be to a degree. I think they have the potential
for that.
Yeah. But like the Giants at six and one in Minnesota at
five and one, I don't put them in that class. I'm sorry. You
know, I love those teams but yes, I think that
you said it right. I think they're a little bit of a class
of their own right now. Those three Football teams. There was
one of the homies that tweeted both of us right yesterday
during the game they go. I got the headline
for this. I wish I had his name, I don't have it with me,
but this is not a give me the headline games of later on,
right? But he goes Debo Hardman
rights for for me. Cole Hardman, I was very similar to
a they're using him as a
as a guy end around guy had a couple rushing touchdowns. He
had a receiving touchdown, he is the first wide receiver in
the Super Bowl ERA, with
those statistics to her more rushing, touchdowns and
receiving touchdowns in a single game.
We thought, maybe he could emerge as this speed guy with
Tyreke out of there. I don't know if this is gonna be
an every game thing but that's your point. It doesn't need to
be in every game thing. It just needs to be once every four
games. Well, there's me cold there, he
is. Oh, we gotta we gotta worry about that. Yeah, prepare for
that right? Yeah, I mean yes. I think I think your it's
you don't want to know what's funny is when we were in
the pregame show, getting ready to Garrett and Jason Garrett and
Tony Dungy. I said to them a few time
to say this funny,
I was like, I feel like the Chiefs are kind of doing what?
Like the 49ers do two teams.
Right. We're
and it's right to our question here from the guy that you so
rudely forgot about, and don't know his name. Now that tagged
us on Twitter,
you know, I got it, he got it, he just got it for ya.
Michael three eyes, Michael area, Michael, Michael
Banks, Michael your, I do think he's right. And
I think I look at, you know,
the runs that you're talking about the speed sweeps,
the reverses, some of the screens, some of the short yardage
situations, forget trying to run it up, the middle
like that was the thing. I liked about them yesterday.
They had a few times where I was like second and one or
third and one and they were like wait they got everybody.
The line of scrimmage we got Patrick Mahomes. Let's just
start with 20 yard play. Like it's wide open down
there. They're trying to stop the one-yard gain,
and oh, it's turning 20.
Let's throw a screen underneath the Pacheco. He ran furrows.
McKinnon ran for a touchdown. So, I did kind of
have that same thought as our listener there. But yea,
the Chiefs between that I still worry about the Chiefs defense
a little bit as you saw yesterday. You know,
I do think the 49ers of the game didn't start becoming
a kind of a shootout, they might have been able to run on
the run the ball on the, on the Chiefs a little bit, that's
scary. But the Chiefs is always make plays. That's the one
thing about their defense. They're opportunistic.
And it's like big mama. Okay, you've moved the ball, you
score points but now it's like, Like, it's, it's time to go
and it's all Chris Jones made up. Leo, Frank Clark. Got us
a call. This guy got an interception pick-six against
Justin Herbert is where backs are against the wall right
there, just that kind of team and that's where
they're a lot of fun to watch. And like you said, they're one
of the best, it defensively. Chris Jones did stand out for
the Chiefs, in this one at time. Straczynski Lucas as
Chris Jones had another two sacks yesterday. Also forced
a Jimmy G fumble. I
know I'm a Chiefs fan but he would be my Defensive Player of
the Year 37 weeks. He's up, there he is. I mean, you think
about every game we've watched this year with the Chiefs he
makes monster plays.
He is without question playing all pro football. And yeah, he
might be one of those guys because I'm trying to think
right now. Like defensively.
Is there any guy that's like just we're going whoa
that's the defense.
Michael Parsons of courses in that conversation was a Darius
Smith. Yeah. I mean I know Nick BOCES having still a damn good
year even with you know, being out a number of games but
I can get behind that.
I think at this point of the Year, Chris Jones is
is way better than his five. Get five sacks
on the year and his disruption and a play up stats. Ya our way
up there.
Yep. We can't move on from this game without talking about
the huge move that the 49ers made. Yeah, let's do it. At was, what
day was that? Was that the weekend? It was
fried. I was Friday. Was it Friday?
Thursday night and a Friday, right? It was at the end of
the Thursday and I game where Al Michaels came on as right.
Ma'am. Christian McCaffrey is now a 49er? Yeah,
for this year. Whew. Years to come, we would think because he
signed
for that, they had to give up a lot. If you draft pick second
round her third round or fourth round or I believe you're here,
fifth row under next year. I think that was the total
package, he had 10 touches. He had 62 yards on 22, snaps
just being introduced to this offense. So you figure it's got
to get better from here. How much does he change this 49ers
team? I think it's going to be a huge boost to their their
team their offense everything.
I think what it does to me is just it goes
it allows Shanahan to do what he wants to do more
and not I have to rely on Jimmy Garoppolo to go hey we got to
drop back and throw it 45 times here for us to win this game
this week I think it just gives a more
leeway latitude whatever however you want to say it
to you know embolden enhance the tricks with in his offense
you know that's how I kind of look at it
first up McCaffrey and Debo Samuel or not that dissimilar
they're very similar
people. I mean they're built not that differently and
like Christian McCaffrey
Sophos dad was an NFL wide receiver played for Kyle
Shanahan's father and Denver if people didn't know that but
he can run routes like a high-level NFL wide receiver.
And then of course we know we can run the football.
So I just think they're going to stress you out with,
you know,
you know what my bills. I always give hello, you know,
fake to McCaffrey screen to Debo fake, te Debo screen to
McCaffrey fake. The reverse, the Debo toss it to McCaffrey,
you know, fake to Mr. McCaffrey toss it to Debo
fake. The toss to McCaffrey fake. The reverse daddybo
inside screen to kid'll. Oh, fake the screen,
fake the toss, fake, the reverse,
you know, all its play action, there goes, I iook down
the middle, you know what I'm saying? Everybody gets
the point. All right, here, get the point but I do think they're
interchangeable, almost. Yep.
Where, you know, you're going to be like, okay, debose at
tailback, oh wait, they got Christian McCaffrey playing
flanker here. Always coming in motion.
Oh, they did run the ball. Oh, Ramp. I action pass and he ran
a route.
Oh he got the speed. Sweep around the edge and they faked
the 2D. But I mean you so you know what I'm saying there? And
yeah, that's where it's going to be really good.
They still the favorite
for you out west, they are. I'm not I'm not going away from
that game was you know it got away from them a little bit
yesterday
but it was still points in the football game. I mean again,
I was 28 to 13 with. I mean, 2823 with 14 minutes left in
the football games to nothing 49ers, right off the exactly.
Right. So I'm not going to sit here and go, oh well,
I'm so pain. By what I saw there, their defense will play
better if they get to play them again they'll have better feel
for them. They'll be healthier.
I wouldn't be shocked, I wouldn't be shocked if we saw
this in the Super Bowl. I believe this is what I made my
Super Bowl matchup. Anyways when you're hoping it could be
the one pick you, get right this year.
That's there's actually happens in the Super Bowl,
Patrick my homes. When he is down 10, he does not panic 13
and nine. Now in his career when trailing by 10 or more
points at any point in the game. So when they're down,
double digits you go, huh, more times than not Patrick Mahoney.
Go away that it's amazing. It's an insane step. It's a good
team around them sane. It just it shows you his Focus. You
know what he's capable of
what they're capable of?
And I honestly think it just shows you that
he's Fearless. That's the thing I love about Patrick Mahomes.
It's just he's one of the,
he's rare in the fact that he can make mistakes or throwing
her sections and still play the same game. You know what
I mean? Yep, a lot of guys like throwing interception that
early. Oh no. Oh okay. All right. They play
Servat Aviv. Okay. Hey, we're back in the game. Okay, finally
now I can maybe take some chances again but it's like you
don't even know. He throws an interception early in the game.
You know you forgot about it. You just go up. Here he goes,
here goes my home's. Whoa. Whoa to throw what a play. Whoa,
whoa, whoa.
I mean that's where
he is amazing. And
you know like I like
like you said, you said the
the bills, the Chiefs, the Eagles and another class,
you know, as I've been saying all year and you join in with me,
my homes and Josh Allen to me or in another class on the rest
of football as well at the quarterback position right now.
