Episode 21: Chiefs Disappoint and Starting to Start the Mahomes Conversation

Published: Nov. 22, 2017, 5 p.m.

I sit in a state of utter shock that the Chiefs were so thoroughly inept against a bad team, which eventually transforms into ranting about some of the very basic failures we saw against the Giants. From failing to beat fairly basic zone coverage, Alex Smith underperforming again, to the offensive line playing badly, the entire game was a disaster that forces us to examine what this year's Chiefs really are.  Then... it's time to have a real conversation about having a conversation. After several weeks of people begging me to talk about Patrick Mahomes, I dive in-depth about Alex's struggles, what the goals should be for this season, and whether it's time to at least start having a conversation about having a conversation when it comes to Mahomes.  I close out with trying to find some hope in the improved defensive play, particularly from Reggie Ragland, and take some mailbag questions on my way out there door. Included in those questions are some thoughts about whether players can show frustration with fans during tough times.  It's not a great week to be a Chiefs fan, but we love them anyways.
