But\u2026<em>phew \u2026<\/em>19-17 victory wasn\u2019t exactly assuring that\u2019s for sure. It didn\u2019t exactly scream \u201cSuper Bowl-ready.\u201d Barely eking out wins against two of the league\u2019s worst teams isn\u2019t the flex KC is known for. And after that humbling loss to the <strong>Bills<\/strong> <em>(fellow SB contender)<\/em>? Yeah, it\u2019s fair to wonder if the shine is wearing off. But hey, when you\u2019ve got Andy Reid, <strong>Patrick Mahomes<\/strong>, and <strong>Travis Kelce<\/strong>, you\u2019re never <em>really<\/em> out of the game, right?<em> Wrong\u2026 At least for some.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Enter notorious Chiefs critic <strong>Rex Ryan<\/strong>, who didn\u2019t hold back on his playoff predictions. <em>\u201cThis ain\u2019t the same team as last year. There\u2019s no Sneed out there. Their defense is average as hell. I\u2019ve seen teams like this before\u2026they get beat in the first round,\u201d<\/em> Ryan declared. <em><strong>Harsh?<\/strong><\/em> <em>Absolutely<\/em>. But even the most die-hard fans have to admit the defense has looked\u2026well, let\u2019s just say less like a brick wall and more like a revolving door.<\/p>\n<p>While we are at it, how can we not talk about <strong>L\u2019Jarius Sneed<\/strong>? Yeah, the guy who helped the Chiefs rack up 57 sacks last season, the second-best in the league, mind you! Now, that guy is balling out in Tennessee, thanks to a cost-cutting trade that sent him packing. Since then, KC\u2019s pass rush has gone AWOL\u2014just 19 sacks through week 12.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Notorious <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Chiefs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Chiefs<\/a> hater Rex Ryan thinks KC will be bounced in the first round of the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>-Via <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ESPNNFL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ESPNNFL<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/1HXiyg53L2\">pic.twitter.com\/1HXiyg53L2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Starcade Media (@StarcadeMediaKC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/StarcadeMediaKC\/status\/1863284343151411600?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 1, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s worse is that <em>only<\/em> three teams have performed poorly than them\u2026 So, you can give a point to Ryan here <em>(make it Rex 1 \u2013 0 Chiefs)<\/em>. He\u2019s not <em>entirely <\/em>wrong\u2014without a consistent defense, it\u2019s hard to imagine a deep playoff run.<\/p>\n<p>But before we throw in the towel, let\u2019s not forget who we\u2019re talking about. This team has Mahomes, Reid\u2019s playbook wizardry, and the swagger of back-to-back Lombardi trophies. They\u2019ve been doubted before and always seem to find a way to silence the critics. The real question is: C<em>an they flip the switch in time?<\/em> I mean, one thing we\u2019ve all learned from the Chiefs over the past few seasons, it\u2019s this: <em>don\u2019t count them out until the final whistle blows.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Patrick Mahomes knows what\u2019s at stake<\/h2>\n<p>The best part in all this is that Patrick Mahomes doesn\u2019t sugarcoat things\u2014especially not when it comes to football. You\u2019d think a <em>W <\/em>over the rivals <em>(Raiders)<\/em>, helping them seal the ticket to the playoffs would cause for celebration. But hey, that\u2019s for the first timers. Not KC, who have <em>been here, done that<\/em>. They are after the <em>3-peat. <\/em>Yes! That\u2019s never been done before.<\/p>\n<p>So, that\u2019s why when Pat stood at the podium after the slender\u00a0<em>W\u00a0<\/em>over Las Vegas, he wasn\u2019t afraid of\u00a0dropping truth bombs. <em>\u201cYour first goal is to get into the playoffs\u2026but we know we have a long way to go,\u201d<\/em> he admitted. The Chiefs might be 11-1. But <i>#15\u00a0<\/i>wants more commanding victories than that.<\/p>\n<p>As for him, it\u2019s not that Mahomes isn\u2019t delivering. The guy threw for 306 yards and became the franchise\u2019s all-time leader in touchdown passes, surpassing <strong>Len Dawson.<\/strong> A record-breaking night, sure, but Mahomes wasn\u2019t impressed. <em>\u201cWe hold ourselves to such a high standard,\u201d<\/em> he said. He\u2019s not wrong\u2014the Chiefs\u2019 offense and defense can\u2019t seem to sync up. One shines while the other stumbles, leaving fans chewing their nails late in games. <em>Sound familiar?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Despite their struggles, the Chiefs have made winning ugly an art form this season. But Mahomes has his eyes on a bigger prize: <em>\u201cOur goal is to get to that Super Bowl.\u201d<\/em> With three Super Bowl wins already, Mahomes knows what a championship-caliber team looks like. And right now? <em><strong>He\u2019s not seeing it.<\/strong><\/em> The path ahead won\u2019t be easy. Buffalo is breathing down their necks for the AFC\u2019s top seed, and the Chiefs\u2019 schedule isn\u2019t exactly a cakewalk. I mean, they are doing it still right\u2026<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s Kansas City for you in a nutshell: <em>The best to team to play for, the worst to play against.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This ex-NFLer has a very harsh Super Bowl reality check for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs after a slender victory over the Raiders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5141,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kansas-city-chiefs"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\ud83d\udea8 $76M Problem in Andy Reid&#039;s Chiefs Roster Uncovered! \ud83c\udfc8 Could Patrick Mahomes\u2019 Super Bowl Three-Peat Dreams Be Over Thanks to a Former Jets Coach?
