I heard parts of Phoenix got hail the other day, and then the far north side got snow. :eek:

Along with this narrative I would add that not all points scored are created equal. Garbage time points when a team is down 3 scores doesn't really mean anything yet they effect point differential and can skew perceptions.

Points given up when a team is behind, tied, or leading by 8 or less points is a bigger indicator of how effective your defense is.

For example KC's knack for giving up very few 2nd and 3rd quarter points is very large in their ability to consistently win. They have also been good in tight games in the 4th quarter when needed. Obviously the 1st Raiders game is the only exception and one outlier is not a pattern.

Good points, added this to the OP.

The Chiefs are about the only damn football team I've seen be able to do it like they do.

I've seen a few people talk about it this week... after weeks of "but point differential!", Cowherd compared the Chiefs to an NBA dynasty and "shutting it down".

The only other example off the top of my head is the Patriots... they would generally keep their foot on the gas all season, but did win a Super Bowl or two after struggling in December.

99% of teams just can't rely on a last minute TD drive to beat the Falcons or the Raiders, etc.... the level of consistency and seemingly being able to do whatever the hell they want on offense when they're backed into a corner is truly remarkable.

In Werner Herzog's Grizzly man, Werner explained that behind the eyes of a bear Timothy Treadwell saw human qualities like empathy, love, and compassion. Tim was the protagonist who was eventually eaten by a bear. Werner went on to say in stark contrast to Tim's perspective that he only saw the cold indifference of nature in the bear's eyes.

That is the Kansas City Chiefs right now; Absolute bone chilling indifference to what any other team presents or any person has to say. If the Chiefs are hungry they are going to eat. Its as sure as the sunrise and it does not care what you think of it.

Arrogance is no longer arrogance when it is true.

I had my first Red Robin hamburger last week. Yea, it's a hamburger.

I did get some packets of their seasoning and now put that shit on everything. Especially grilled chickens.

What about their steak fries? They are my favorite - done extra crispy. :p

Red Robin is good. It's also ridiculously overpriced. But it's good.

Now that's one tasty burger!

Robin's blue cheeseburger is to die for.

I just had Red Robin for the first time ever a couple weekends ago. It was pretty solid, but yeah also overpriced.

OP updated, too.

Pretty much everything has become overpriced. Crazy to spend $25-30 on fast food but easy to do.

Red Robin has some good stuff.

The Bottomless Steak Fries are money at RR (is that still a thing?).

I don't think so... but given their burgers are like $15-17, it should be a thing.

I used to be into Red Robin. As in "go there on my birthday" into it. But then for some reason I cooled on it. I'm not really into their fries so much, and they really only had one burger that I got every time, which was always kind of messy to eat. I haven't been to one in several years now, but wouldn't mind going back.

RR has a good jingle but I’ve never dined there
