๐Ÿค” Contrarian Views on NFL Team Performance

This paragraph delves into a counterargument suggesting that the San Francisco 49ers might have an edge over the Chiefs due to several factors.

The discussion also covers concerns about the 49ers' potential slow start to the season and the difficulty of maintaining their previous year's success, despite the NFC being a weaker conference than the AFC.

10:01

direction on the hotness of the takes

00:35

look at the chief's full schedule tough

01:03

Baltimore and a log Jam at 4 Bengals

01:06

Lions bills Eagles Cowboys Texans and

01:10

then finally the

01:11

Packers so I'm going to ask you two

01:13

questions here which team is more likely

01:15

to get back to Super Bowl 49ers the

01:16

cheats and do you have some sort of 20

01:20

and0 sequel another tattoo something you

01:23

know today's the day I it wasn't no that

01:26

came last year in September but it feels

01:29

like today yeah well today's not the day

01:31

for any bold Chiefs prediction there

01:33

might be a different bold prediction

01:36

coming up in this very segment however

01:39

let me answer the question that we all

01:40

agreed upon at a meeting that I did have

01:42

to miss this morning at 10:00 a.m. which

01:44

is more likely to go to the Super Bowl

01:46

the Chiefs or the Niners and it's an

01:49

insulting question just like those Vegas

01:50

odds are insulting obviously

01:53

unequivocally without a doubt the answer

01:54

is the Kansas City Chiefs and it is not

01:57

only because the Niners went to last

01:58

year's Super Bowl and lost and you have

02:01

in the last 30 years the only team to go

02:03

back go to the Super Bowl after losing

02:05

it was quarterback by Tom Brady and it's

02:08

not just because the Chiefs are clearly

02:10

the best team in football it is also

02:13

because the Chiefs the NFL it's almost

02:16

as if they have intentionally stacked

02:19

the odds against Kansas City and they

02:21

will because how so well I can I'm so

02:25

glad you asked brw let me show you how

02:28

because who you play is set by a

02:30

computer the Chiefs the first team ever

02:32

to have to play every day of the week

02:34

except Tuesday they have four short

02:36

weeks they have a week six by which is

02:38

brutal you want it as late as possible

02:40

and they have a 49 day stretch where

02:44

they play one game in the Cozy confines

02:46

of Arrowhead Stadium despite all of that

02:49

they do they play on Friday yeah Black

02:51

Friday they play Black Friday they play

02:53

a Wednesday they play every day but

02:55

Tuesday and by the way I could see him

02:57

getting flexed to a Tuesday cuz the NFL

02:59

trying screw with them but that's fine

03:01

you want to give toughest schule well

03:04

that again Baltimore's got the second

03:06

tough that is set by the math you're not

03:08

allowed to change that all you can

03:10

change is the order so how do they start

03:11

it oh with Kan city having to face in

03:14

back toback weeks the two teams they

03:16

dispatch from the AFC title game how do

03:18

they end the season back-to-back weeks

03:19

on the road what about leading up to

03:21

that oh they have three games in 10 days

03:24

which I know Wilds thinks is insane I

03:26

think it's a little hard but we can have

03:28

that argument again if you'd like it do

03:30

they get a little rest before that no

03:31

they don't have they have their buy two

03:33

months prior Raiders Bo bronos the well

03:37

the Raiders and the Broncos are in the

03:39

division there's nothing you can do

03:40

about that and your team's dynasty was

03:43

built on the corpses of jets and bills

03:46

and uh Dolphins nobody's at quarterback

03:49

so don't even give me that but it's

03:51

still Kansas City CU I had the best

03:53

player to ever play and their basement

03:56

their worst season the last 6 years is

03:59

12 wins in an overtime loss in the

04:00

conference title game their median

04:02

season is a Super Bowl win their

04:04

slightly below average season is a Super

04:06

Bowl loss and their above average season

04:09

is a Super Bowl win so yeah the answer

04:11

is Kansas City and you have to agree BR

04:13

it's hard to argue because I agree with

04:15

you that Patrick Mahomes is the best ter

04:17

in fact I was the first Mo you were not

04:20

first first to Michael Jordan say Jordan

04:23

all of that and everybody knows it all

04:25

right that that just sticks in Nick's

04:27

craw really sticks craw I think it is

04:29

true actually um and look everything you

04:34

said a lot of that is true he doesn't

04:35

they haven't had bad season I think they

04:37

actually got better right and I think

04:39

the fact that they went had what we

04:42

would call a bad regular season that's

04:44

fair right ended five and five I think

04:46

that's just going to help motivate them

04:48

to go out and play well this year but

04:53

and and I fully sat down to work out my

04:56

answer thinking

04:58

Chiefs but then something struck me not

05:00

look I may change this in the fall when

05:02

we make our PR this is not prediction

05:04

time lest I get pelted with rocks next

05:07

time we go back to Kansas City but as I

05:09

was sitting down putting together my

05:11

answer I

05:12

said you know what

05:15

what I I think it's the ners why and

05:19

here here's why it's kind of you know

05:23

it's not like yeah it's esoteric it's a

05:26

thought it's a feeling it's their last

05:30

Terra oh it's their last harah cuz I I

05:33

looked at it like they went to the Super

05:35

Bowl a few years ago with garoo they

05:36

went last year can they keep going back

05:39

I mean that's going to be a lot of

05:40

mental energy just to get back but then

05:43

I said hold up mcaffrey has been healthy

05:47

the last two years and he's at age for

05:50

running backs 27 is he going to be

05:53

healthy F first of all we he even be

05:56

healthy this year but let's hope he is

05:58

but this might be his last great season

06:01

that's certainly on the board for

06:03

running back right Debo's names already

06:05

been mentioned in trade rooms they're

06:07

going to have to pay pery let's say he

06:09

has a good year they're gonna have to

06:10

pay him which means you might lose some

06:12

other people Trent Williams old yeah so

06:14

I'm going to say that th because this is

06:18

their last and the NFC is weaker even

06:21

though it's gotten better it's still

06:22

weaker than AFC I'm GNA say the ners can

06:25

are you not at all worried about the

06:27

ners potentially having a really slow

06:29

start because I am why no so I think

06:33

that the Jets are a live dog in that

06:37

game I think Brew agrees I think that in

06:39

San Francisco yeah I think I think let

06:41

me put it like this I think the Jets

06:43

will be at their the maybe the best they

06:45

are all year in week one because they're

06:48

injury-prone offensive lineman wide

06:50

receiver and quarterback again stuff

06:52

does happen in training camp but we

06:53

would assume that will be as close a

06:55

hole as they are yeah but don't you

06:57

don't it's going to be a tough game for

06:59

I buy that but do you also buy Aaron

07:02

Rogers hasn't really thrown a football

07:04

and you know yeah I think he'll get some

07:07

yes agree but I think he'll get some

07:09

maybe more preseason reps this year than

07:11

he typically would and then their next

07:13

two games are two teams that beat him

07:16

last year in Minnesota and in the the

07:19

Los Angeles Rams I think the Rams are

07:21

really good and obviously the Patriots

07:24

and Cardinals are two of the weaker

07:25

teams I agree with that but then they do

07:28

they have a few pocket it's a really

07:30

tough game Chiefs Cowboys is a brutal

07:32

spot and then at Green Bay at Buffalo in

07:36

late November early December with Brock

07:38

pie and his small hands that shrinking

07:40

the cold and I there are I just I think

07:43

it is more likely the ners find

07:47

themselves heading into the end of the

07:49

season fighting to get into the playoffs

07:52

than positioned for the one seed the way

07:54

they were last year and so I I just

07:57

think there are a lot more questions

07:58

about the n

07:59

then there I don't think there are right

08:01

now I know it sounds ridiculous but I've

08:02

just only been right every year I think

08:04

there are no questions about the Chiefs

08:06

there are none can I counteract that and

08:09

and support Brew I I just am going to

08:12

take the 49ers off of over Aaron Rodgers

08:15

and his achill

08:17

first so I will give him 49 JJ is going

08:19

to play his second game and outplay the

08:22

49 defense I do not buy that Stafford

08:25

they always play him they it's always a

08:27

little bit of a dog fight but 49ers win

08:29

the last matchup they had then you got

08:32

the Patriots which will be frisky but we

08:34

will lose that game Kyler I think will

08:36

be sneaky okay and then G they could be

08:39

I mean I don't want to be like Mr they

08:41

need

08:42

to could have a great record going in if

08:45

they were undefeated you wouldn't be

08:46

like flabbergasted into in meeting up

08:49

with momes so I would be I thought the

08:52

the Rams beat the ners I thought in week

08:54

18 of last year I thought it I thought

08:57

the Shanahan thing flipped finally they

09:00

the the ram the ners beat the Rams early

09:02

in the year they were one and one

09:03

against each other and so I just think

09:05

that I think their hardest divisional

09:07

game of the year is the one at the Rams

09:09

that's in week three sure I'll give that

09:11

the Vikings last year were one of the

09:13

teams were pry played brutal against in

09:15

that spot you think JJ's going to light

09:17

up the 49ers defense the second game

09:20

first of all I'm not even certain by the

09:22

way JJ McCarthy's going Sam darnold was

09:25

on the 49ers like we got this guys no

09:27

again La last year it wasn't Vikings

09:29

didn't win that game because anyone lit

09:31

up the Niners defense it was because

09:32

perie really struggled against Brian

09:34

flores's defense and so I just I don't

09:36

look at the Niners as a juggernaut I'm

09:39

not saying they're not a good team I'm

09:40

not saying they're not one of the NFC

09:42

contenders I do look at the Chiefs as a

09:45

juggernaut I think that they're they

09:47

were wor they are better this year than

09:50

they were either of the last two years

09:52

they should be our position better and I

09:54

know they don't have sne but they added

09:55

a lot of other pieces I just I I think

09:58

the Chiefs are I think the best bet in

10:00

the sport right now is the Chiefs to win

10:02

the AFC and then we go for I buy that

10:04

but I bet when they match up the 49ers

10:06

have a better record than the Chiefs

10:08

okay side bet okay check in on Caleb the

10:10

number one pick in the Draft starts his

10:12

schedule pretty smoothly strength the

10:15

schedule coming in at 29 wow face off

10:19

against a bevy of other young QBs who he

10:21

should outplay Brew will Levis Anthony

10:24

Richardson Bryce Jaden postp also CJ

10:27

strad week two who should outplay him

10:29

theoretically if history holds Brew are

10:32

you willing to guarantee Caleb makes the

10:34

playoffs no no I think they have a shot

10:36

a good shot because as you said 29th you

10:39

know

10:41

easiest toughest schedule in the league

10:44

but I'm looking at this Philly's to me

10:47

Philly's in I'mma put Detroit and Green

10:49

Bay in okay both obviously one Atlanta

10:52

or Tampa Tampa big San Francisco and the

10:56

Rams and then I think Chicago's battling

10:58

with say Tampa Bay or Atlanta and Dallas

11:01

for that spot and that's going to be

11:04

tough I think to have three teams from

11:06

that Division and I just I just feel

11:08

like as much as I like Caleb as much as

11:11

great as I think he will be I feel like

11:13

he's going to struggle a bit at first uh

11:16

I don't think he's going to have a CJ

11:18

stra type rookie year even though he's

11:20

kind of set up to do it because I think

11:23

his we know he's great off schedule I

11:25

think he's better on schedule than

11:26

people give him credit for but I think

11:28

he's going to have to learn lot in that

11:30

regard I think sometimes he might be

11:32

running when he should stay in the

11:34

pocket and throw the football so I think

11:36

he I don't think he's going to come

11:37

right in and light the league on fire so

11:41

given how the schedule lays out I do

11:43

think he is I also think I'm not this

11:46

isn't a criticism it's just a

11:48

observation I think the five teams that

11:51

you were most confident were going to

11:52

make the playoffs were five teams that

11:54

made the playoffs last year which is

11:56

kind of how it always feels right now

11:58

and then we you know what I mean that's

11:59

usually not how it goes I I was my only

12:04

concern for Caleb what if he has a slow

12:07

start yeah because he had a bad end of

12:09

last his college career as as we talked

12:12

with Danny Perkins yesterday about some

12:14

Bears fans still really being Justin

12:17

Fields guys if he gets off to a slow

12:19

start or when he is kind of going

12:21

through the growing pains you drop some

12:23

divisional games which can really hurt

12:24

you as far as making the postseason

12:27

instead he has a tailor made start to

12:30

his career of the team of the seven

12:32

teams projected to have the worst record

12:35

in football he gets five of them in the

12:38

first 10 or nine weeks of his career New

12:41

England Arizona Washington the Panthers

12:45

and the Titans that's five his first

12:47

nine games I think there's a seven- two

12:49

start is absolutely on the board which

12:52

is why and this is my bold prediction

12:56

forget guaranteeing the playoffs don't

13:00

I'm FLIR I'm flirting with the idea I'm

13:03

I'm asking the bartender no don't don't

13:05

do that again that's a creepy thing does

13:07

that take want a drink down there I'm

13:09

thinking about buying that take asking

13:11

that take that out out for dinner some

13:14

take at the end of the bar I think

13:16

Caleb could lead the Bears to the Super

13:19

Bowl in his rookie season oh God

13:21

Almighty can I can I can I give you a

13:24

little evidence and we just and BR beat

13:27

the Viking

13:29

has to play

13:31

the going to go to the Super

13:34

Bowl could beat the Vikings first you

13:36

said you're flirting with the take it

13:39

right yes and you're talking about the

13:40

fact that I said that the Niners could

13:42

lose to Minnesota which is unrelated to

13:44

this take entirely so we have seen

13:48

rookie quarterbacks step in be excellent

13:51

and the team be contenders we saw

13:54

Russell Wilson take his team to the

13:56

divisional round a game ended on a field

13:59

goal his rookie season Big Ben to the

14:02

AFC title game his rookie season we saw

14:04

CJ in the divisional round last year we

14:06

saw Dan Marino if you want to go back

14:08

forever was in the divisional round Dak

14:10

was in the divisional round his rookie

14:11

year luck and RG3 made the playoffs his

14:14

rookie year Brock pie was in the NFC

14:16

Championship Game his rookie year the

14:18

idea that and I don't know what you know

14:21

Mahomes would have done his rookie year

14:23

I think he would have done quite well

14:25

there's no way to prove it so the idea

14:27

that rookie quarterbacks don't don't

14:29

ever step in and have success is bed by

14:32

history and this Bears team is I think a

14:36

playoff team with just Bel slightly

14:39

below average Quarterback play you know

14:41

what I mean last year they were seven-

14:42

win team last year and they added a

14:44

dunesday they added Kean Allen so I in

14:47

that week NFC with that type of momentum

14:50

not having to play any divisional games

14:52

until the last third of his rookie

14:53

season when he's you know more seasoned

14:56

I could see the Bears shocking everyone

14:58

but me outside of St which obviously was

15:01

just last year all those guys you

15:03

mentioned if I'm not mistaken Marino

15:06

obviously is out they were game man they

15:08

managed like Brock py comes in as a

15:10

rookie he's just managing the game

15:12

making the righton all those guys so I

15:15

don't see Caleb as a game manager I see

15:18

even as he's grow going through his

15:19

Growing Pains I think he's going to try

15:21

to make spectacular plays and I think

15:23

that could hurt them initially so I do

15:25

think that's kind of something to look

15:26

at with a rookie can I ask you a

15:28

question on that before we move

15:29

do you I think that it is on the board

15:34

that Caleb absolutely would be willing

15:37

to be a game manager if he found himself

15:40

in the position where oh that's all we

15:42

need have to that's all I have to do he

15:44

never was in that position in college it

15:46

was it it was M never to do right where

15:49

it was if I'm not great we're going to

15:51

lose so the I it's it would be I feel

15:55

different Mahomes couldn't remember

15:57

Mahomes struggled to learn how to do

15:58

that yes to just take the easy stuff you

16:01

know fair enough I just think that I

16:03

don't know I think the I think that if
