  • So let's start off with the Chiefs, who yesterday clinched the A F C.

  • Also a first round bye with a really not so simple win over the Falcons.

  • Alright, what do you say?

  • Let's take a look at how things are shaking out in the A F C playoff picture, and a F C team will have at least 10 wins and not make the playoffs, which will be the first time that has happened in any conference since the 2015 Jets went 10 and six.

  • There's also still a chance in 11 win team does not make the playoffs in the A f c.

  • Dumb with so much talent in the A f.

  • C.

  • Do you think that the Chiefs are gonna have an easy road to the Super Bowl?

  • Absolutely.

  • No, I'm not sure why.

  • Maybe my head is just here, but it's not.

  • When you started out, I thought you were gonna say so much drama in the LBC.

  • But I guess my head is on the West Coast frame of mind right now.

  • I'm not sure where that, but it just popped into my head.

  • But anyway, I do think that there will be so much drama in the FC.

  • Also, I don't think the Chiefs, they're gonna have an easy road.

  • I picked them the Windows to bowl last year.

  • I picked them the Windows Ebola again this year.

  • I think they will win it.

  • But we saw what happened to them last year, and they were pretty close, if not better last year than they are this year.

  • At least defensively.

  • Statistically, they were better last year there this year and offensively, it seems like they're probably a little bit better right now because Patrick Mahomes inexplicably is somehow still getting better, even though he's had a couple of bad games this year.

  • But it's the playoffs.

  • The NFL.

  • We saw them on the wrong side of I'm like win probability in all three of their playoff games, including the Super Bowl in the second half.

  • They were three improbable comeback victories for them the Windows Super Bowl last year, and you could argue that they were better last year.

  • If, if anything, they're close to the same.

  • So I think this year, throughout the regular season, there have been some struggles, even though they've had Patrick Mahomes healthy and all those games.

  • I think it's unlikely that they're just gonna breeze through an entire conference of football teams because this conference is not like the NFC.

  • I think there are a lot of really good teams.

  • I think Buffalo could give them a problem because they can score with them.

  • The Ravens, despite the fact that they've dispatched the Ravens pretty easily last couple of times the time they played the Ravens two years ago, was a close game with Lamar Jackson.

  • I think the Ravens could give them some some challenges, and I think that the Colts also another team, if they can make sure that they submit their place in the playoffs, a team that can challenge them defensively.

  • So saying it's gonna be easy, I think is is a bit disrespectful.

  • The rest of the N F C and A and a bit a historical.

  • If you see the history of this sport, even most teams that go that went at least 14 games, they're going to struggle on Lee.

  • Three of them have actually gone on to win the Super Bowl, so I think they will win it.

  • But they'll struggle.

  • Damn, I see what you're Morris Chestnut today with the turning back on.

  • I see you.

  • You look you look good.

  • You look good.

  • Uh, listen, it ain't easy, right?

  • Like it's when you're magnificent.

  • Is winning the Super Bowl, right?

  • There's not gonna be an easy road.

  • They got the easiest, though, because they have the best team in the best quarterback.

  • Don brought up a bunch of really good points.

  • I would say this, the things that it would would potentially knock them off or hold them back outside of the teams I've said for three months now, it was the Buffalo Bills with the most equipped team to do it because they've got a quarterback and Josh Allen that could go above the X's and O's.

  • That's what Patrick Mahomes does, right?

  • So you look like you got a quarterback that can kind of go punch for punch.

  • That's a difficult matchup.

  • They could be explosive on offense.

  • Buffalo.

  • Kansas City loves to bring pressure.

  • They're gonna blitz you.

  • When teams blitz you, it gives you the opportunity to hurt them.

  • They got guys like Stefon Diggs that could hurt you, right?

  • And so there's another opportunity that make that that will make that Chiefs Road just a little bit more difficult, and then they got a great coaching staff.

  • You gotta have a great coaching staff to go against.

  • The Chiefs is well in Buffalo has that, But you also look at the Chiefs.

  • I love them.

  • I think they've been bored for a long time this season for multiple games.

  • They remind me of the Lakers just bored in the regular season.

  • But do the slow starts catch up to them?

  • Do them playing stretches of just okay.

  • Football.

  • Catch up to them.

  • That would be their version of their C game, right?

  • If the chief show up in the playoffs with their C Game one, I would be shocked.

  • But to if they play their C game and a team like the Tennessee Titans plays their A game or a team like the Buffalo Bills plays their a game, they can be beat.

  • So it's not an easy road but is the easiest road because they're the best team that is as good as coached as well coaches anybody, and they still have the best player in football.

  • And Patrick Mahomes definitely does, you know, make this hard on the team like Casey, but some like Casey.

  • But somehow, some way, Pat Mahomes keeps coming up with funky little place like every single day.

  • And so when you look at what this team could do you say to yourself, Yeah, I believe that, you know the Kansas City Chiefs will move through, But even in being able to move through in that way, that's not how the playoffs work.

  • When you start the playoffs last season and you see teams like the Tennessee Titans go into Baltimore and when and then the Houston, Texas go into Kansas City and Europe by three touchdowns, you think to yourself.

  • Okay, this wasn't things that we expected, and that's what happens in the playoffs.

  • And so, no, there isn't an easy route, and it's definitely not an easy right when you have a team like the Buffalo Bills that I think are in the conversation with the Kansas City Chiefs are in the conversation with the Green Bay Packers, is the top three football teams in the league and then is absolutely right.

  • Watched Josh Allen play against the Denver Broncos and something became extremely apparent to me.

  • He believes he's the best quarterback in the NFL and part of believing it is going out and seeing it week after week and understanding that you got a guy and Stefon Diggs that you could throw the ball to on any plate.

  • He's gonna create separation, having kind of that big dog mentality that we saw the Buffalo Bills display against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the second half and also just knowing how it works.

  • You just have to be bad one day.

  • You know, you talk about the c game, then that we saw the Kansas City Chiefs play, and I believe we saw that against the Las Vegas Raiders this season.

  • Early on in the season, when they lost the one game that they did, we got there, see game, right?

  • They started out pretty good, and then the game got tight, and then they had a third quarter and half of 1/4 quarter when they didn't play football at all, and then they fell behind and we didn't get that.

  • Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City magic that we often see.

  • And so, yeah, we'll sit around and I don't think there's gonna be a person on this panel.

  • There's not gonna be Charlie, our host or Jeff that produces the show or Antoine.

  • That calls me every time my wife, I breaks up and say We're going to pick a team to beat the Kansas City Chiefs.

  • But if the Kansas City Chiefs do fall, if a team does show up and play out of their mind and beat them, we won't be surprised in the sense that this is what football is.

  • It's not basketball.

  • You don't get seven times to do it.

  • The best team doesn't always win.

  • So the Kansas City Chiefs are gonna have to show up, stop playing board and start when the clock is that 60 minutes and finished when it hits the zeros playing their best ball if they want to be the Super Bowl champions.

  • Okay, thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.

So let's start off with the Chiefs, who yesterday clinched the A F C.
