Just to clear things up about yesterday’s comment… I would never suggest to let Von go under any circumstances – he’s a Super Bowl MVP and in my mind untouchable even if that means to be less successful for some time. He already did enough to deserve our loyalty. Regardless as you mentioned, the only way to succeed might be to draft a QB again and hope for the best. Can’t say I’m not worried anymore. However I guess there’s still plenty to enjoy about this season if worst comes to worst I’ll only watch Phillip Lindsay plays on repeat. Keep it up.

you guys brought up some good points that it is an uphill battle and everything that I said about those teams and why they can beat the chiefs also applies to why they’ll be tough outs for us too

My counter to that though is the broncos are a more well rounded team that still hasn’t hit their stride yet

We have an elite run game that can produce even more if we make an effort to just pound the rock as much as possible and are facing mostly bottom half run defenses the rest of the year

our defense hasn’t been world beaters but still had the ability to be especially if they play anywhere near as well as last week against other teams so they’ll be just fine

Keenum outside of the final drive of a few these games has been as bad as anyone could’ve expected but he still has the capability to get hot and I still believe he will plus he has a ton of weapons at his disposal and I mean you are always talking about how Sutton is just waiting to bust out right?

With those factors and our strengths matching up against our schedules weaknesses our team is capable of competing for the division or at the very least a wild card spot especially if we acquire a top end corner through a trade and in the playoffs anything can happen

Then onto why the chiefs aren’t going to go 12-4 or better they have a huge chink in their armor that can be easily exploited especially by the teams on their schedule that was what I was pointing out in the last pod and if they do get exploited especially the next couple weeks as you’ve talked about in a couple different pods streaks matter more than anything in the NFL and if the chiefs get on a skid I doubt that they’ll recover especially with everyone playing smash mouth against them the injuries will pile up on the defense and the emotional wear and tear of a terrible defense not being able to pull its weight WILL wear heavy on the offense and cause a divide because who are the leaders on the offense? Their one offensive captain is kelce and with his big mouth and attitude you know he’s going to be the one causing the issues and not solving them and don’t tell me mahomes because even though he’s playing like a vet I highly doubt he has the locker room presence of one and Andy Reid has shown he doesn’t have the leadership capabilities to sustain a team through tough times and extremely important games he’s shown that throughout the years…so I reiterated DONT LOSE HOPE BRONCOS COUNTRY YOU JUST HAVE TO BELIEVE

And one more thing I’ll be expecting my checks for the now two articles I’ve written for you by the end of the week lol

Another thing about my Steelers comment and why there would be turmoil in the locker room their opponents until us are
Falcons-playoff caliber team strong offense with injured defense but still a very good team
Bengals-the divisions leader that is just clicking right now and is in Cincinnati
Browns-division game against a rising team offense is clicking under baker and a young hungry D looking to show everyone that those close loses early in the season aren’t going to hold them back
Ravens-clicking offense with new weapons a strong defense and already handled the Steelers once
Panthers-playoff caliber team with a ton of weapons at cam Newton’s disposal that will be looking to tear apart a poor steeler D
Jags-playoff caliber team with elite defense and run game

The Steelers imo will be lucky to win 4 games and most likely will only win 3 and with a team that is already having locker room issues and has a ton of large personalities having that tough of a stretch of games could have the locker room turning on each other and especially turning on bell who could be blamed for the losses earlier in the season
We’ve already seen that with teams like the Steelers theyre accustomed to losing and as we saw with the broncos in 2016-17 when that true adversity hits those teams week in and week out if they don’t answer in full they crumble and without the focal point of their offense for a few more games their current skid could continue to the point that when Bells returns he’s only met with animosity

then they come to mile high so I think that game will be a lot more winnable than you currently realize when week 11 comes around

Levi From Phoenix,

Hey Ryan and Zac,

I am a few pods behind (It’s a busy time of the year for teachers) so apologize if you have covered this topic already.

I am just curious why Musgraves hasn’t rolled out his six o-lineman set yet. With how we are running the ball lately it seems like it would be a good idea. I can just imagine mauling opposing team’s defense with six big guys up front and Jano knocking heads with linebackers. Also, this would take the pressure off of Bolles to pass protect. What are your thoughts?

Also, Ryan we need to figure out a time to grab a cold snack with Burrito Brad when you come down for the Cardinals game!

Keep up the good work!
