Live from New York it’s the show okay that’s too much he’s been too much I knew it since last night I knew it was coming he calls me up this morning with the worst ideas and I like gently had to land the plane I’m

IED in here there are a lot of ideas I think there going to be about 20 BN coming down lot of ideas it’s first things first today okay the official question that we decided on in the meeting is Nick any doubts a doubt was there ever a doubt was there ever a

Doubt Brew was it the Chiefs versus the bills in January then no of course there was never a doubt the only reason anyone would have had doubt about this Chief’s team was because of their allegedly not scary offense but you know who seemed pretty damn scared by it their opponent

Yesterday that from the first play of the game was pressing first play of the game they fumbled the ball got to get those extra yards can’t let mes beat us third play of the game I’m 10 yards past the line of scrimmage I’m so panicked I’m going to throw it forward the refs

Are going to let it go because we’re know we’re going to need every yard two hours into the game you’re down three in the fourth quarter fake punt see with the ball at the end trying to take the lead more worried about momes getting the ball than you actually getting the

Lead and so no of course there would nine yards per play before the kneel down the most of any playoff game of the entire momes era only faced five third Downs the punter for the second straight playoff game didn’t even really need to activate him eight plays of 20 plus

Yards eight zero compared to the Buffalo Bills highflying terrifying oh my God unicorn Le offense so how’d they do it why was there never a doubt because this Chiefs team while everyone’s going all in while everyone’s acting like the whole NFL Universe is going to end and

The year took a Long View and said you know what we can afford to trade away the single best non- quarterback in football because we have the single best quarterback in football of this or any era so we can build through the draft so we can get younger on defense and how

Has that defense looked over the last two months of the Season well I can show you which is they shut everyone down in the second half okay so then what how are you going to score points well do you have the most prolific postseason combination in league history

Kelsey and Mahomes will now literally you do and how’s Travis doing because next week against the Ravens he’s going to break Jerry Rice’s receptions record in a next season he’ll break his touchdowns record The Yards are going to be hard to come by but that’s who they

Have and then of course you have Patrick Mahomes who is the best player in the league Brew in the regular season and then in the play playoffs against the best competition against the best defenses with the highest Stakes he raises his level to I’ll just be a

League MVP in the postseason and that’s here’s what I mean on the left is Patrick mahomes’s playoff resume on the right are the last dozen League MVPs at quarterback aside from Mahomes and what you’ll see is he’s better than League MVPs and so was there was there ever for

A doubt Brew the answer is no and it’s because and drop the banner Dusty the chief’s down year is better than your best year the the bad Chiefs disappointing what’s wrong with them season is better than the best season you’re going to get for 90% of franchises Buffalo of course firmly in

That 90% so no there was never a doubt Chris brussard is that it there five minutes W for like somebody to come up behind me some more just round two man we got a cres I I got to give the Chiefs props you know I believe in mahes it was a

Great game overall time what time what I’m about to get to some stuff what I know you did that like I know you know I believe in Mahomes you picked the bills you said bills bills bills and we bills bills bills I was wrong I wasn’t going to make you do that

Cuz you were right on so much this I’m with you pal PCO play great yep Kelsey best game all year true just in time uh mvs oh I was shock I got to be honest the bus can be helpful I was a little surprised has caught those passes here’s

The phrase Nick that comes in my mind when I saw that game or thinking about that game no room for error no room for I thought Buffalo played well I thought Buffalo played well but they made a few errors no room for error for the bills you’re saying

Yeah when you no to beat the Chiefs got it agreed to beat Patrick momes Andy Reed Kelsey and the chiefs no room for error bu that none and the like I said the bills played well they ran for 180 something yards you know Josh Allen didn’t throw for a ton but my goodness

Two touchdowns running dime to the uh Shakir and I mean great so I the bills played a very good game but they made a few either errors or missed opportunities and here’s here’s some of Mark the to beat the Chiefs I know this is a tough catch but to beat the Chiefs

You got to make it that’s right you got to make it and that’s that’s Trent sherfield if he makes that catch early in the fourth quarter who knows what happens but then there’s with Stefan Diggs now Stefan Diggs talks a lot and he is a great player got to make this

Catch that’s a catch it’s a hard catch but you’re Stefan digs you’re one of the best receivers in the league it hits you there can’t imagine having can deal with drops when you look back at some of the great franchises Super Bowl memories playoff memories great plays like that

Get made and buffalo didn’t make it and then of course you have Allan throwing the shakier in the end zone now Stefan Diggs is open underneath could have got it to him ate up clock move down the field I don’t hate him going for that but he just missed the throw he missed

The throw and my point is you canot do that against a team that is very good and has the heart of a but you know what the Chiefs can do fumble the ball at the one yard line and win anyway cuz they’re the Chiefs well they’re the Chiefs PR

That was a silly play no that’s yes they made a dumb play there they once again at the very beginning of the game didn’t capitalize in the Red Zone they they they they they allowed a third and 17 on the opening drive of the game now again

A lot of teams could convert those if you’re allowed to throw a forward pass eight yards past line of scrimmage but they got away with it all those things there were four fumbles in this game K City recovered one of them which was their own the other three were recovered

By Buffalo all those things went in the bills favor and be like oh yeah but Buffalo missed the kick the only thing the bills missing that kick did was prevent your heart being ripped out in a different way because Patrick Mahomes in that cume 42 if you think he’s not ding the

Field ands you’re out of your mind I buy that yeah do you have anything else play no no we got more stuff to go I’m just waai let’s just we got more to do all right I mean obviously yes really well they were the underdog yesterday so yeah

I got they’re under brew as much as you love it people as much as you love them you underestimated them CU you no you don’t win every year so picking against him is not underestimated this not the Super this is the AFC Championship so here’s the thing you know what does

Happen every year Patrick Mahomes plays in this game coming up next weekend it happens every year and you know why it happens every year we can because he is statistically speaking and he hasn’t caught Brady yet but we assume he will eventually in the winds but even if not

We can show it to you he is the once again just adds to the legend each and every week and then I don’t think people have the full context of it because Mahomes is 5 and a half years into his career as a starter but here is the

Eight most playoff wins by quarterbacks so right now momes is tied with Favre and big Ben for sixth if and when he beats Baltimore brew and we’ll talk about that game later he will only be looking at Mont up at Montana and Brady he’s 28 years old and then there is my

Favorite stat of it all which is why why people are underestimating him because he somehow gets better when times are the worst we talked last year injured his numbers got better we have we’ve discussed him as an underdog the numbers get better win trailing by seven plus in

The playoffs since he came to the league the rest of the league wins less than 20% Patrick lost his first one the overtime one against Brady has won eight of nine since then okay that’s the rest of the NFL what about the rest of Mount Rushmore quarterbacks all right so

Mahomes wins 80% Brady pretty damn good 48% Montana 40% Payton 25% momes 8 and two went down a touchdown in the postseason and so this is where people I don’t think understand and why I get so reflexively angry at some of the critiquing throughout the year

Because yeah I’m going to go ahead and operate from the perspective of if it’s Patrick’s approach he’s right if everyone wants him to scream at mvs and stop targeting him if he’s not doing that there’s a reason if everyone is panicking and he’s not there’s a reason

And if everyone else thinks you know what they don’t have it this year and that guy until proven otherwise shows will be one of the last four standing and then see what happens maybe we’ll lose an overtime of the championship round or else we’ll be in the Super Bowl

Then yeah an if you are operating from the perspective of he might not be in this round which the vast majority and bookmakers were you’re underestimating him brw I I don’t think he’s underestimated because he didn’t have a great year by his standards right even

You know he wasn’t the MVP sure and yet you can’t find a pundit that won’t say and hasn’t been saying he’s a the best quarterback in the league am I no funds are run the gam I’m not going to name names he is generally still even before this game regarded as the best

Quarterback in the league don’t you think and I’ve heard people even saying well you hear a lot of people we’ve say it on this show but I hear people on other shows saying he’s the best quarterback they’ve ever seen BR but didn’t you hear a lot of people saying

Going into this game that the bills had the better quarterback that Josh Allen was the that when they were doing quarter that when they were doing a t had a better season maybe but the better quarterback when they were doing a tail of the tape check marks offense defense

Quarterback head coach a lot of folks gave the check mark in the quarterback category to the bills that’s not a straw man it wasn’t this show but that’s not a straw man that is that that is absolutely what was happening when I’ve looked at m i I even think him making

The Pro Bowl which you know was fine but you even said it yourself he’s always going to be in You could argue that Allen could have made the pro bowl over him you could have argu CJ stra could have made it over him but he made it so

My point is I think he gets like everybody knows how great he is but not picking him to win nobody wins every year and I don’t I don’t know if they favorite but again this was not this was not about picking them to be win the

Super Bowl it was about picking them to win in round two against Buffalo and folks bent over backwards to find a reason as to why the 11-6 Bills team was this Juggernaut and this 11- six Chiefs team was super flawed bent over backwards to find a reason why Josh

Allen you didn’t have to bend over the backwards to see that their receiving core had been a weakness and and yes of course every team has slight weaknesses that wasn’t slight now they’ come look they played great yesterday I can’t blame them but I’m just you went on

Blind face saying they going to get it done and they did but you can’t blame people for saying they L the league drops they cost them games and and they didn’t do it yesterday I would blame people if if in 2005 people were like you know what this is the week I think

Tiger Woods misses the cut at austa I would say you are I don’t care how poorly was playing leading up to it you were like no that would be ridiculous but Mahomes did add one more check to his because we already talked about best stats all this he’s now unequivocally

The best Underdog quarterback ever which is bodess very poorly drop it please it BS very I mean he’s the greatest Underdog in NFL history 91 and one against the spread 8 and3 overall it’s not it’s not debatable but go ahead now let’s talk about the meanwhile Josh

Allen Brew are you putting this loss on Josh Allen Wilds what what was I the first to say about Mahomes okay that he was Jordan esk you said on Sports Jordan do you blame Patrick Yuan for losing to Michael Jordan no I mean Reggie Miller Charles Barkley Kyle

Malone do do you blame him you just say man they were in his era and you don’t blame them Josh Allen balled out yesterday now made a couple mistakes the the looking looking like I said throwing it to shakirin it he didn’t ball out he did for the first three quarters he

Played all right I thought the first three quarters he SC he ran for two touchdowns through a can we see this when Dusty the the Shakir was incredible all right I here it is first of all look at finding time making extra time and that pass is incredible all right so he

Threw for 186 yards it’s not like hey what do I always say about Josh be clean he was clean that’s the problem he was clean and hold on no they went he had three touchdowns they went downfield we just saw Trent shefield now that was a

Tough catch drop one in the Bread Basket we saw Stefan Diggs one of the best receivers in the world dropped one so and he under threw Shakur Shak so I’m just saying like the defense was the problem okay they couldn’t stop him hold on hold on Nick the the Chiefs had one

Punt the Chiefs scored on their first five possessions now I’m not saying Josh Allen was perfect but I’m saying if you say what cost them the game I’m going to say the fact that the defense couldn’t stop them at all yeah that’s their offense had the ball for 37 minutes yeah

So score more 24 points especially at the end get a touchdown to win the game like listen first I want to be fair to Buffalo I know there a really tough day it’s wide right again I do and they deserve credit you know I think each playoff Victory matters something Dusty

Dropped the banner because these don’t come by lightly I mean listen backto back bronze medalists in the AFC back to back to back pardon me that’s three straight now two losses in a row at home against who your cheap Rivals I mean I would I would yeah I’ll give him I guess

It could be Houston we give the bronze this year so here’s the thing let’s roll through this because Brew did something that he accuses me of doing sometimes which is you’ve lowered the bar so much this is a guy who was being discussed as League MVP until the final week of the

Year this is a guy who was discussed was openly discussed as the second best quarterback in football and it’s a guy who in the fourth quarter couldn’t come through and we can show you the numbers they’re undeniable Brew it’s and that’s that in it was his fault for missing the

Field goal no that was his fault now I’m not saying he was really how cuz you you were thinking a 44 yard field goal in the cold I me you weren’t thinking it was a gimme but it was like okay this is what we got you can you make it Brew you

Have glossed over by the way entirely four plays before the misfield goal the fumble right they just got lucky that they recovered so here’s the problem the Bill’s coaching staff was afraid of Josh Allen which made him not not scar they were scared of Josh so that made him not

Scar show the nextg stats passing chart and the data on it so that so listen 16 passes behind the line of scrimmage which is the most in the nextg era by any quarterback 16 in completions two completions past the sticks the entire game the bills coached like oh my gosh

We can’t let Josh make the big mistake he still tried to at the end despite it and because of that all of a sudden they had an offense like the Derek Henry Titans effective Nick but it wasn’t really yes they lost by three you’re acting like they got blasted the same J

When Josh Allen was throwing it all over the field they lost too yeah in fact they lost by more points exactly so so they couldn’t beat him either way but this worked they had the ball for 37 minutes to the Chiefs 23 it’s they lost

They they lost the game but to act like that run game wasn’t effective I what I’m saying is they were the favorite against a wounded vulnerable Chiefs team that smart people including yeah brw there Middle Line more wounded between the two teams Brew the the chief’s middle linebacker went out on the first

Play of the game their safety went out on the second you going sit here and say the chiefs were more injured no no no no no no not at all when I say wounded I mean from uh this was considered the weakest Chiefs team they’re in your

Building this is your moment you picked him and Josh had the ball with a chance to come through and didn’t like I I I’m not killing him he was not the problem he was not okay that was the question was he the reason they lost the game

Right but but my reaction is because I it seems like you’re putting none of the blame no no I’m I’m putting some of it on I’m just saying the M I don’t think it’s on him that was a question is it on him it’s it is his job in that spot to

Come through when the when his defense gives him the ball with the F Force fumble at the one it’s like oh my God we have a chance year and you’re driving the field and you have a first and 10 from the 25 it is your job to either

Pick up the first down so the Chiefs wouldn’t have the ball at the end because even if they make the field goal I think they lose or to put it in the end zone and he couldn’t and that’s and again we think if they if they make the

Field goal and I agree with you I think Mahomes probably would have marched down at least for a field goal but we don’t know that for a fact right but Bru he set his team up to tie the game that’s what you I mean you want to go ahead

Touchdown but he still got him in position to keep playing on so you if you think that he played a great game no I think he played a good a very good game okay and I’m saying in that moment the biggest game of his career he needed

To be great yeah that’s fair we we reach was better than their defense how about that that’s fine their defense is not why the bills are the bills that that that’s the point he scored three touchdowns okay then let’s know it’s fine he played very good they got a very

Good result that’s it they’re third place it’s very very good mahs played great best passer rating of the whole year that’s why he great no one’s ever doubted that Mahomes is better than Josh Allen no that brw and that’s mahes is better than Lamar Jackson but let’s see what happens next

Weekend head over to social media one of my favorite places uh Patrick momes on Instagram saying good luck that is a response to Dion Dawkins who said this is Mahomes first time in Buffalo well good luck um so Mahomes kind of reciprocated it I like which I like it’s

A nice little bit of game Trash Talk we just we don’t really have time here just bring it out I mean we’re time we have our bul we have bulletin board so Dion Dawkins you remember when you got put on here you said good luck you’ve now been

Eliminated who else got eliminated I forgot to do this before I’m eliminating him now Colin coward you’ve been eliminated you picked against the Chiefs again as you have been all year you remember when Josh Allen said he’s going to see him in a couple weeks maybe he me

On the golf course maybe he me at the Pro Bowl games oh no Josh isn’t a pro bowler my bad but still there you go and then there’s one more on here oh yeah when the Buffalo Bills trolled me after they won their Super Bowl with the never
