Chiefs The Butterfly Effect- Chiefs Edition

Brooklyn · 01-13-2023, 06:19 AM

Okay, simple rules to this bud week thought exercise. Change any one single play in a game to affect a better/different outcome for the Chiefs. Curious how many plays it would take to get a theoretical dynasty, or just a view to how close to dominant we’ve been. I’ll start:

1. Dee Ford lines up onsides ‘8 AFCCG
2. Eric Fisher’s Achilles doesn’t tear ‘20 AFCCG
3. Tyreek Hill makes the end zone at half ‘21 AFCCG

Not hard to argue the Chiefs are going for SB win #5 in a row if those 3 plays just ended a little different. Of course the butterfly effect could also have negative impact as a result but let’s assume not to change too much other history and keep it light and fun.

Some more plays to think about,

- no end zone PI call vs the Raiders in their walk off win
- Kelce doesn’t fumble in Q4 vs the bengals this year

What else ya got?

No Joe Montana concussion vs bills.

Or more recently, no BS a Chris Jones unsportsmanlike penalty for trash talking against Matt Ryan

Chris Jones doesn’t say bad words to Ryan and we beat the Colts.. We are 15-2 and no doubt the #1 seed..

This. Which would mean we’re all not scurrying to book tickets Atlanta now…

Luck doesn’t pickup the running backs fumble and score and we win against the Colts playoff game.

Mahomes hits Hardman for the TD to win it at the end of regulation instead of settling for a field goal to send it to OT last year in the AFCCG.

There was still like 90 seconds on the clock when that happened. Plenty of time for the Bengals to score a TD on KC's defense. Now if Mahomes converted on 3rd down, that would probably be the game. The Bengals would have about 30 to 35 seconds to score a TD (assuming Butker makes the extra point to extend to a four point lead).

On the flip side...Jones doesn't bat down a Jimmy G pass. We're called for a late hit on the sideline and SF runs out clock.

Buffalo doesn't screw the pooch at the end of regulation.

Henne doesn't run 20 yards to set up 4th and inches

Works both ways...

100% right, which is why I would actually NOT change a single thing prior to our 2019 Super Bowl win. That one took a lot of luck. You go tinkering around with some changes and we may have 0 SB wins at the moment.

I also wouldn't change a single thing before the Mahomes era. You go back and start giving Alex Smith playoff wins and suddenly there's a chance that we don't even trade up for Mahomes. **** that timeline.

Yes, this all the way

Honestly I am glad we brought in Pioli. Not because he was actually a good GM, but because he was so awful that CHunt went out of his way to rid this team of Pioli and led us to Reid, Dorsey, Veach, and Mahomes. Without Pioli this team would still be in a 50+ year purgatory watching Reid, Veach, and Mahomes tearing it up for another team and thinking “What If”.
