New episode is up. This show is SO much better when it's the playoffs.

Nice little feature on Spags as well.

Just watched the last Hard Knocks episode. Man, the Dolphins are just a candy ass franchise and Mike McDaniel is a ****ing goober. How grown ass men take him seriously is mystifying to me.

twisted showed up at 21:30

Alright. Reid saying "They run it we stick it, they throw it we pick it" was good. Normally those hype speeches don't do much for me, but that was was good.

The final scene.

Narrator asks ‘How do you feel about going on the road in the playoffs for the first time?’

Camera pans and zooms in on its’ subject who has a mysterious grin … the reaper.

Lights fade to black. Oh mah gahd have mercy on those poor souls.

Loved that. This production is fan friggin' tastic...

I wasn't exactly thrilled when Spags got here, but dang, the guy's just been nothing but a great asset here in KC.

Yep. Gotta eat crow on him. But I ate that crow a long time ago. Like the first Super Bowl long time ago.

Shit head coach, great coordinator.

This will not be over quickly.
You will not enjoy this.
I'm not your king...

Not sure we needed James Winchester's thoughts on adversity LMAO 20:15

Every time I watch one of these, I am convinced Kelce isn't retiring.

Same

I mean... his father was murdered.

He’s came straight out and said he wasn’t

:facepalm:

I HOPE there is a plan for load management, for lack of a better term. Not NBA night off type of load management, but snap counts is a real thing. Ultimately though, I'd like to see him block less.

Probably going to need some resource investment in getting some TE production to backfill his snaps off. Reid is likely unwilling to forego the flexibility a TE provides, so we'll need to get a somewhat reasonable facsimile of what Kelce can do. I think that's the best way he can extend his career.

To that point -

I wonder how much Jody Fortson going down in training camp boofed their plans for Kelce this year. For the entire offense, really.

Gray has looked really good this year and is finally seeing more snaps. He's been solid and was one of the few guys not dropping everything early in the year. He'll be good working in for/with Kelce...

Could be a lot, but I doubt very much. I'm the dude that was beating off at what Fortson could do in the offense, but I think injuries are just too much. Adding him in may have been really impactful. But in terms of limiting Kelces in-line blocking snaps I doubt it's very much.

Gray is a fine TE that is pretty good in-line, and is pretty good catching the ball. He's not a hugely dynamic weapon, but he's reliable and serviceable. But they haven't really used that to reduce Kelce's snaps a ton. Maybe it's because they can't run double tight sets, or whatever. I don't know.

Kelce rules, and is really finding another gear in the playoffs, which is giving me goosebumps as I'm typing this. But I'm hopeful we can do real things to extend that dude's career because mother****er, he's awesome.

New one dropped an hour ago, starting it up right now... LFG BACK TO BACK BABY

Honest to God I can't watch this shit even a few hours before bed time. I get way too amped thinking about the pinnacle this team has reached. We've come from the depths and we've watched it ALL. So many players who will be my favorites for the rest of my life.

Sneed, Reid, Jonesy... all bringing that dedication and fire

Our D will dominate this show, just watch

I’m taking the under!

And you really didn't even have to watch the shitty 70's and early 80's.

Frank Gansz, Paul Wiggin, Bill Kenney, Mike Livingston, Todd Blackledge.

Those are just a few of the living legends of Chiefs sadness.

I’m not sad, you’re sad!

Just a great episode.

That was fantastic

God I ****ing love Mahomes.

"HE CAN'T ****ING GUARD HIM!"

I love it. Take it right into the teeth of that soft bitch Hamilton.

I love getting the human perspective of the team with these episodes.

We're all so engrossed in the X's and O's, the Dynasty talk, Patrick Mahomes chasing the GOAT talk. But The Franchise always reminds me these guys are just young men who have lives and friends and family. Everything kinda comes back down to Earth in these episodes. Still can't believe this is free, this is Award Winning content.

I dunno if other teams are doing this, and maybe it's because we're winning, but this is extraordinarily valuable content. I very much appreciate it.

The clips w/ Bryan Cook really drives home your point. A young man on IR watching the game from home. You can see how bad he wants to be there.

Oh, man! What an episode! Just a great production! :clap:

Simply fabulous. Sneed, McDuffie and Reid are ****ing dawgs.

And Mahomes is an extension of Reid.

The 49ers will not survive.

man the allen wright segment goes hard

we've all seen him on TV so many times over the years...and he deserved that moment of recognition

Wow, playing Sirius on the final drive on OT.

The Chiefs really are the Jordan Bulls of this generation.

"raiders facility"

****ing kek

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GIhJludW...jpg&name=large

i don't think i've ever seen a kicker squirting water down his back in a dome LMAO

EYES ON ME MOTHER****ER LMAO

The Bulls and MJ music before the final drive was great

Good God these are so "****ING" AWESOME! Puts you on the field and makes you feel what the team feels! INCREDIBLE! :thumb:

holy shit andy reid almost throwing hardman onto the field for the last play LMAO

**** YEAH

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GIhS19bX...name=4096x4096

no parade footage? i am sad

anyway, amazing

That was worth the wait.

That had a different feel to it.

Less “happy to be here” and more “embrace the dynasty”.

Great watch.

That was amazing. Love how pat and Travis both were like let them have the football. We just going to **** thier shit up anyway.

It makes me wonder if that was Pat calling for Hardman specifically so he could throw him the touchdown. That would be why Mecole wasn't ready at first.

Or he could just have been an idiot.

Thing of beauty….well done!
Gets you in the feels from beginning to end.

The Chiefs should ask every potential FA to watch this. If they don't want to be part of that they're crazy.

So badass

Let's not forget now or ever that we are witnessing the golden age of Chiefs football. For many, you've waited 50 years. For most, we had to wait our whole lives to see it happen. Let's make sure we realize what we are seeing.

So awesome. One thing I found interesting was in OT, Mahomes didn’t seem to care which direction they chose and left it up to Toub, who kinda looked at both ends and then made the call. Wonder why he chose the direction he did?

What a time to be alive!
The Broncos and Patriots demise is the nuts and cherry on top too. The perfect touch.

I don't think I've ever seen a team that the O and D just constantly affirm each other and love on one another.

That team was SUPER tight knit.

That is the culture that Reid brings to the team.

We are so very fortunate.

Agreed. I think the relationship between Mahomes, Kelce and Chris Jones helps bridge that gap.

Seems like on a lot of teams the offensive and defensive players barely even know each others names but this team has really seemed super tight for years.

in the SB, where weather is not a factor, the direction you kick makes no difference. i think Toub just randomly picked a direction TBH.

That last pass in regulation to Kelce in the end zone was actually a really good throw. Closer to being a walk-off there than I realized. Warner just made an insane play.

I love Justin Reid’s calm demeanor and speaking voice. I had actually noticed that after our AFCCG win against Cinci last year when he interviewed in the locker room iced out wearing all black and the shades.

The final montage showing highlights of the series from the season really hit home for me. Seeing Mahomes and the other QBs run onto the practice field in training camp made me excited for another season.

It looks like the throw to Kelce was predetermined by the sound of that huddle. Rice was open but I think Kelce was getting the back shoulder no matter what. Maybe I'm wrong, thats just what it sounded like.

That's not surprising considering how much time was left. You don't have time to **** around there.

They did have 1 timeout, but yeah, all it takes is a Malcom Butler type interception and its game over.

Oh, yeah, that was definitely mostly predetermined. I’m sure Pat was just letting the other guys know they’d need to get down immediately just in case they got a super favorable look elsewhere and he couldn’t pass up taking a shot to someone else.

But Kelce was always the best bet there. The chances of throwing an INT on a back shoulder in the corner of the end zone there has to be basically zero. It’s either incomplete and OT or a TD and we win right there.

I’m just surprised it was such a good ball. Creed really did roll that snap to Mahomes.

A regular QB panics and throws that one out the back of the end zone.

That's what i figured. But then watching that clip he sort of looks at both ends, and then decides a certain direction. Could be totally random, but it just got me wondering if there was anything more behind it? I believe the direction we scored the OT TD was the same direction we scored are only other TD, so maybe he figured it had some good mojo lol

Yes.

LMAO Mecole being Mecole. TWELVE!!

Amazing production. Great job.

Kick Ass!
