FIRST THINGS FIRST | Nick Wright reacts Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs fall to Raiders 20-14

Start in Kansas city where the Raiders chased momes and did barely enough on offense to win 20 to 14 the Chiefs are now nine and six they’ve lost four out of their last six here’s an optimistic Patrick Mahomes bro if we clean it up we’ll be able to

Score points it’s just we got to clean it up I mean I mean that’s we two games left you have to do it and if we don’t we’ll be going home so I think if we clean it up uh we’ll have if we clean it up we can beat anybody I truly believe

That um but uh we got to prove that we can do it now the official question is is it officially time to hit the panic button but Brew remember we’ve asked this question a few times he already hit it a few weeks ago but then he hit it

Like a little he called it minor little Panic butt Min panan yeah it seems like it did do tap it so is you do you have a new question or you guys want to do your little abiding costell routine over there we get to the actual Sports

Officially time to hit the panic button well listen that’s maybe the worst game they’ve played since Mahomes became the starter it’s definitely the worst game they’ve played since the Titans game a few years ago 27 to3 when they just had no answers it was a disaster it was the beginning early in

The 2021 season that year shortly after they had lost in the Super Bowl and that was the start of oh did the Bucks reveal a blueprint on how to stop stop Mahomes and unlike other games where you could just be like the wide receivers need to

Not drop the ball it was worse than that the offensive line was a disaster by the way one of the reasons the Chiefs don’t have a high price wide receiver is not because they didn’t have any money spend in free agency they spent their big free agent acquisition was their right tackle

Jawan Taylor the entire process getting the play in was problematic getting guys lined up Mahomes was getting frustrated it reminded me a lot of the last offense Matt naggie run ran in Chicago where guys aren’t open where the play is not coming in the offense looked like Matt

Naggie bears but you have Patrick Mahomes as the quarterback yeah but this year and we can show you as you two simultaneously drink your coffee we can show you this is interesting the the Chiefs scored under 20 it happened six times first 5 years of his career it’s

Happened seven times this year yeah and you guys know my fix has often been Mahomes be great yep and yesterday I don’t listen yesterday was not all on him obviously but he was far from great he played poorly by not only his standards I think by a lot of guys

Standards under adverse circumstances and so Brew I’m going to ask you a question can I borrow just briefly your intellectual property of the grading system please say yes may I borrow it yes you may absolutely all right I can’t fail him because the defense played so well Christina give them their grade please

This is the saddest Banner ever it’s the saddest Banner that I’ve ever dropped and I don’t know if we have more oh wait hold on defense what’s this wait hold on oh wild taught me this that’s my line defense wins championships so let’s see what the chief’s defense looks like

Kevin Wilds I know you did I stole the great from him and the line from you can we show the Chief’s defensive ranks because oh my goodness that might be a championship caliber defense and despite everything that we saw yesterday Brew you know what I heard on the broadcast

That made me feel somewhat optimistic who leads the NFL in points in the final 2 minutes of the first half the Chiefs who leads the NFL in third and long conversions the broken offense of the Chiefs third and long but you don’t want to be but percentage not number of times

Percentage so they have a championship defense momes will get it right they can still make the plays they need to make now will it look like the chiefs of all no do all three of us likely have the wrong MVP pick since we all picked Patrick Mahomes yeah we probably aren’t

Going to win that bet but I’m not panicking yeah the the Raiders scored 60 points last week they scored six on offense I mean what a defense what a defense the Smashmouth chief what a defense it’s like the S Steelers with a Hall of Fame quarterback what the only first of all I

You dro the first banner I was about to give you love I was about to be like man I mean Nick is actually being objective about the Chiefs yeah and then all of this nonsense comes down where was that defense on the last possession for the Raiders when they didn’t there somebody

Named whites running all through their defense What happened to the def why is it nonsense when I say it Wild’s been saying it it’s wild I don’t know who wild is talking about when he talks about defense but they when they needed the stop now obviously they have a good

Defense neck great but when they needed the stop bro they couldn’t get it against the fre Nar this is the issue all right yeah you’re right you’re right the defense is the issue look Nick the team is crumbling before our very eyes two look Patrick Yeah Patrick Mahomes and

Travis Kelce have been playing doing the right things at the press conferences on his podcast Kelsey’s going after the media when he really wants to go after his receivers uh Mahomes is going after the referees a few a few weeks ago when he really wants to go after his

Receivers then to yesterday you see Kelsey on Christmas Day throwing his helmet momes yelling at at it people I mean it was a m and then momes the last two weeks what’s he got three touchdowns three interceptions and a fumble one of the interceptions is a pick six one of

The fumble is obviously a return for a touchdown I don’t think that was his fumble to be fair I think that was the running back’s fumble I don’t think Mahomes never had the ballad for the record I don’t know what whatever the cas guess live by the cute

Died by the cute yeah he get some of that he get come on you put it bread B too snap the ball mom no wait a second youg and they scored a touchdown on this on the opening on their first T you were begging for this

Wild had it ni he had it right there they shouldn’t have got cute they’re not thatmore all right they’re not that cute all right and so they tried this it didn’t work but my point is this Nick like I think momes and Kelsey I think it’s just hit a boiling point where

They’re like man we’ve been taking all the bullets we’ve been being good soldiers we’ve been being good captains and leaders and the bottom line is these dudes can’t play and they are killing us they didn’t drop passes yesterday they just didn’t get open they just didn’t get open nobody was open yeah Mahomes

Had nobody to throw to we sure about that oh you got some I I mahes was bad I think he was worse than Nick said Nick now I know why you said he wasn’t atrocious cuz you didn’t credit him for that fumble but momes cost them the game

Essentially I mean two plays that were both touchdowns for the defense you got beat by a team that didn’t complete a pass for the first after the first quarter because of the great defense just didn’t I know the defense is fine but if your offense can’t score Nick a

Problem here and here’s my last thing I say2 they we have not seen this as you know we have not seen this from momes and and Andy Reid yeah in this era after the buy is usually when they’re like okay we get it going they are 28 and5 or

Were 28 and5 over the first five years of Mom’s career after the buy now they are two and four just this season they’ve lost more games after the buy this season than they have in the previous four years so okay Matt Nick you said it a few weeks ago at some

Point late in the season you kind of are what you are go ahead and they’ve been three and five over the second half of the season so you were you were giving me a lot of gruff in my office well you’re just so annoying why you’re just because the because you your tweets

During the game or the Chiefs are going to come back I still believe in the Chiefs are going to win the championship and now and then on the morning call your you’re openly discussing whether or not the Chiefs will win a single playoff game but in tweeting about them making

The Super Bowl you’re I just don’t you’re I at least respect where Brew is coming from and while he’s not Mr consistency he’s almost the deputy of cons consisteny you on the other hand call yourself the mayor of fair when really you should be the mayor of fickle

I know that doesn’t rhyme I am the mayor of fair I have been saying hey Iceberg ahead for weeks and what do I get yelled at chastised why did you say that I not literally cuz we’re not literally on a boat but I have been saying there are

Problems with this offense you say no there’s not laugh at me this and that so now I’m saying I’m trying to make it simple I still believe in the Chiefs and I know it’s strange because I’m saying hey Iceberg ahead but I still believe I believe that you can turn the boat but

Nobody wants to turn the boat turn the boat a little bit less trick plays snap the ball to the greatest quarterback of this thank you brw this is why you’re annoying you have been asking for cute that’s play without your helmet then let’s do that let let’s play in polo

Shirts here’s how the trick play starts momes gets the ball then something amazing happens I don’t know let’s snap it to the offensive line start with mahes and then do some tricky stuff what that’s what I want from this is what I’m trying to get to I

Will believe in the Chiefs which I do if you believe in this team which you have mocked and I’ll be honest with you sometimes I think I’m him you know I got to start to feel myself a little bit I’m like you know what I’m him yeah and then

I realize people on social media don’t think that I’m him they think you’re him and they just tell me to give you messages and this is one I got 50 times yeah it’s the Chiefs in the bill that’s great but that is like saying if in

1998 you put gave me the regular season numbers of the 98 Bulls versus the 98 Jazz and said why would you believe in one more than the other yes of course I understand that this year it looks like that I got to be honest Nick those

Numbers no this year of course it’s true but that is the but the
