41 IS THE MIC: Chiefs Rest as AFC Playoff Picture Comes Into Focus

[@Suprafan69]

Never get tired of y'all

[@ChrisSmith-tl4qf]

Ba da da da da.... I'm lovin' it

[@benwilliams2780]

Really great podcast! Always love it. One piece of feedback is that it's usually not a great idea to spend the first large chunk speculating on something that will be decided and irrelevant a few hours after your show with the week 18 schedule discussion. Not trying to be sarcastic or anything. I genuinely love the show, but I'm listening one day late and it was unfortunate that so much of the podcast was irrelevant by the time I listened

[@zanewalsh1812]

Fair enough 👍🏼

[@luttrelll5517]

You guys are putting in the work this week.

[@timothythompson2369]

Plus, Andy Reed has a chance to practice and install new plays.

[@phil2596]

Watch Wentz throw for 400 and 3 tds against the donkeys next week

[@harrymills2770]

A lot of the guys who'll be playing are guys who've been playing with Wentz all year, and there's no film on them. He's been running the scout team, so I bet they have a lot of other teams' plays dialed-up that nobody's seen the Chiefs call, so far this year. And we saw what happened on defense, without Chris Jones: Our D-Line dominated.

[@bigchief3917]

He's seriously thinking leaving "L" Raiders. I'm thinking ahead here. Maxx Crosby will make a highly superb defensive player for team Chief.

[@syeah1505]

I wish we had the money to sign him

[@musicmashups]

Myles Garrett could be leaving too. But neither of them will be Chiefs: too expensive

[@RockhillfarmYT]

I’m not trying to make the case that Jaylen Watson will come back because obviously I have no idea Just one correction, factually of something that was said Matt said 12 week timeline for Watson would put him at the Super Bowl 12 week timeline would have him back for the wildcard round while we are on a bye The injury was 11 weeks ago today

[@harrymills2770]

Yeah. I don't recall hearing the specifics about the amount of ligament damage there was. If it's "just" broken bones and he started mobility and slowly increased on the strengthening, he could make it all the way back. But I think it was pretty severe and required some major reconstruction. Could be wrong. Anyway, even if a player does make it back, they might only come back at 80 or 90 percent. I never get too optimistic, to avoid being disappointed.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

@ right. I have no idea if he will be healed. Just counting weeks because I knew Matt stated it incorrectly.

[@NickJ71]

@@RockhillfarmYTHere’s where I will push back. You are basing your timeline on from when you know of his injury. The timeline Matt was given could be based on after surgery occurred. It could be based on the time he was told which is likely different than when the injury occurred. And Coach Reid addressed the topic when Matt asked during today’s zoom.

Looking at cap situations, my prediction is that Higgins goes to Washington. Lot of money, and I think Daniels will be a QB receivers will gravitate towards.

@25:34 I don't know if Matt Derrick is having trouble counting or what, but he's repeatedly got this wrong. Jaylen Watson got injured on October 20th. 12 weeks would be January 12th. So, either Jaylen Watson's recovery timeline is longer than 12 weeks or he should be back by the AFC Championship game.

[@RockhillfarmYT]

12 weeks would actually be the wild card round. 13 to the divisional round 14 conference championship 16 for the Super Bowl No idea if he will be back, but that is the timeline 

[@uberhikari]

@@RockhillfarmYT That's what I said. January 12th is the Wild Card round. But he won't come back as soon as the 12 weeks are up. He'd need to be cleared for practice, and he'd probably need to practice for at least one week which should put his return at the Conference Championship game.

[@harrymills2770]

@@uberhikari I think it depends on what they mean by "12 weeks to recover." Maybe he's moving around and a limited participant as early as 10 or 11 weeks.

[@uberhikari]

@@NickJ71 This makes sense. I just looked it up and Watson apparently didn't have surgery until several days after the injury.

[@KennethSilkter]

Except for Nick Wright EVERYBODY in the national sports media doubts the Chiefs ABSLOUTLEY 1,000% EVERYBODY. All of these 'experts' ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS doubt the Chiefs. NOT A SINGLE ONE thinks we can 3-peat. Not. A. Single. One. THEY ARE ALL calling us lucky. We are SICK of it. But they ARE ALL WRONG. WE WILL BE laughing when we 3-peat. AND I WILL MAKE SURE NO ONE FORGETS THAT EVERYBODY DOUBTS THE GREATNESS OF THE CHIEFS. 😂😂😂😂😂😂💍💍💍💍💍💍💍🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Football novice here. How many games do the Chiefs have to play and win in the playoffs to make it to the superbowl?

[@nickim6571]

Divisional Game and AFC Championship, then the Super Bowl.

[@quintenruckman3505]

The NFL is so dirty! They flexed Ravens/Browns so if Ravens win Steelers have nothing to play for against the Bengals. The NFL wants them in so bad!! Going to be hilarious that they drug it out all the way to week 18. Will miss the playoffs because we sit our starters. LMFAO!!

[@benwilliams2780]

That's not true. Chargers could jump the Steelers in the standings if the Steelers lose. If you're the Steelers, you definitely want the 5 seed
