Update from 2023! 14:34 "Under the Reid administration, the Chiefs have won more games than anyone in the NFL except the Patriots." This line is no longer true... Because the Chiefs surpassed them. Since 2013, the Chiefs are THE winningest team in the NFL, whether or not you count playoff wins.

[@dfp_01]

Update from 2024: the Chiefs finished their season at 11-6 and the Patriots at 4-13. The gap since 2013 widens, and the only teams that are really even close besides New England are the Seahawks, Steelers, and Packers. Crucially, this was the season the Chiefs leapt past the Patriots in terms of point differential, finishing at +77 to the Pats' -130. Wanna guess which is the only team with a point differential worse than -1,000 since 2013? The Jets, of course, sitting at -1,066 across 11 miserable playoff-less seasons where they still manage to have a better win percentage than the Jaguars due in large part to Adam Gase sucking slightly less than Urban Meyer.

Specifically, that 2-14 team had *six* Pro Bowlers! For comparison, the Ravens, *that year's* Super Bowl winners, sent *6* Pro Bowlers as well! For even more comparison, the Chiefs team that *won Super Bowl LIV* 7 years later *also* had exactly *six* Pro Bowlers! In fact, I actually added up and averaged *every* Super Bowl winning team *since* that 2012-2013 season, and they averaged *4.33* Pro Bowlers! In fact, *no* Super Bowl winning team *since* that season has *ever* had more than *6* Pro Bowlers! That's right, a team that arguably had as many game-changing players as any *Super Bowl-winning* team since their existence not only did not even make it to the Super Bowl, or their conference championship game, or even win a playoff game, or even *make* the playoffs, or even *have a winning record...* Or even win as many games as they had Pro Bowlers (6). Or even win *5* games! Or 4! Or 3! No, the Chiefs won *2* out of their 16 games; statistically their *worst ever* finish in *any* season in their *entire* history, and in the final NFL standings that year, they were *the worst* team in the league (ending up with the #1 draft pick)!

[@goingforgold_8536]

I know by YT standards this video is ancient, and I’m super late to the party; but I wanted to say really great production. Also, I think firing Haley after that drive shows the maturity of the chiefs front office, yes, he and the team weren’t doing that poorly, but it shows that there are standards and deal breakers that cannot be crossed at a professional level. A team cannot accept 81 yards in penalties in 1 drive, and especially when 15 of them are on the coach.

Plus all the shit with the guy who shot himself in front of him. Think everyone just felt bad for him. He was a good dude, but wasn't a good coach who landed into a shitty situation.

Recognizing that Jon is a Chiefs fan it's still odd how they've figured into every football Dorktown video to this point. It was the team the Chargers couldn't quite catch for the division lead in 2010 (which admittedly led to the creation of this video), it was the team Steve Bono played for when he took a jog into the end zone, and it was the team that was so undisciplined as to throw a wrench into the works of the NFL. Remarkable. And for those of you who haven't seen the Falcons doc, they play a minor role as the team that beat the Falcons with a pick-2. We really need some content on the Lions, Cardinals, Bengals, Browns, Saints, or Vikings though.

[@tomservo5347]

I remember the Pioli 'Patriot Way' management and apparently the guy was a paranoid control freak. Todd Haley once told a reporter "The phones are tapped-also lower your voice because I think Pioli has everything bugged and spies everywhere." Here in KC we also had the 'Candy Wrapper Incident' in which Pioli reportedly threw an empty candy wrapper under a flight of stairs at Arrowhead to see if the custodians would see it. They didn't and he wigged out over it. Long story short, Haley became too familiar with the players and lost the separation required for a head coach to maintain discipline. Also, Haley had to deal with a GM that by all accounts was impossible to work with and I think by this game Haley and the players simply didn't care anymore. By this season and game everything unraveled and we headed into the Romeo Crennel era-one of the most painful seasons I've ever witnessed. Fans paid for a plane to fly a banner over Arrowhead that read: 'Fire Pioli, Bench Cassel' along with not being able to even give tickets away so they'd simply tuck them under wipers on random cars. I remember when Andy Reid first arrived in KC the feeling was electric. He's a QB's dream coach and he lifted the Todd Blackledge Curse by drafting Mahomes instead of getting another retread QB that we'd done ever since drafting bust Blackledge. It's scary what could have happened as you point out in this great presentation had Haley not been fired and finished the season.
