Let's not forget that two seasons ago the chiefs had a first 8 games that were BRUTAL and we still won the SB against Philly
And last year we had the worst rest ratio vs our opponents in the history of the NFL. Pat will figure it out no matter what.
Lets not forget that Joseph Burrow owns your franchise
Getting 2 of their toughest games out of the way in the first 2 weeks seems like a really good things for the Chiefs. They struggled all last season just doing well enough to get into the playoffs. Clearly that's all they need. Doesn't matter how the seasons starts. It's how it ends.
and its the easiest schedule they have had since Mahomes took over. Getting their 2 best opponents off the board when they are theoretically the healthiest is a huge boon.
Bengals always get off to slow starts too so perfect timing.
The Chiefs tend to start slow. I want them to lose both of these. The talking heads will explode with massive overreactions. It'll light a fire for Mahomes who will go undefeated the rest of the season.
@@statboy11 this is just factually incorrect. September is the 2nd winningest month in mahomes career. October is the worst by far
@@statboy11lmao what? Chiefs have always started fast under Reid, it’s one of the things that makes him great. Pretty sure last year was the first time in ten years we didn’t win week one lol
Literally making stuff up
This is perfect! Just give us the Bill's and 49rs on the road in weeks 3 and 4 so we can start the season 4-0 with all of our toughest games behind us. GO CHIEFS!!!
More like 2 and 2.
Yeah but the back end of the schedule? 3 games in 10 days. I would say the NFL wants to make it as hard as possible for KC to three peat
In no way a Chiefs fan but this dynasty’s 10 part documentary is going to be legendary
It's actually better for the Chiefs to have these tough games early. They will be at home and fully healthy. Their record in September and October under Reid is very good.
How do you know they'll be healthy???
@@PrinceAmac because no one on the chiefs is named Burrow.
@@madnessontheislandrent free in
@@nbaedits9118 makes zero sense
@@madnessontheisland mentioning burrow for no reason
If they start out 2-0 the league will be like 😳
Regular szn doenst mater as long as they make playoffs. Chiefs could go 17-0 or 9-8 and ether way no one wants to play them in the playoffs.
the bengals arent even gonna be good next year they lost the only thing that made them releavent their wrs
@@user-zn7wc1xv1h they didn’t lose any good wrs🤣 they lose Tyler Boyd who lost them more games then helped them win i.e vs the Texans dropped a wide open Post/slant that would’ve gave them a 3 point lead with under 2 minutes left. They replaced him with Jermaine Burton from Georgia/Alabama which is an upgrade.
Bengals blew their one golden opp and choked a 4 point lead with 3 min left in SB. I could care less if they beat KC in Sept. Dec Jan are what's important and if Burrow can actually make a full season now then we'll see
@@SleezygemI don't think the Bengals even slightly fear playing the Chiefs in the playoffs
I can't believe you guys are giving the chiefs Bulletin board material already
I sincerely doubt this will be on a bulletin board in four months.
@@johnchedsey1306 Have you heard what the Pats used to do to keep them locked in the Chiefs do the same thing they will take anything as a slight so they can get up to play and win without being overconfident.
Let's get this season started. Go Chiefs
they act like we haven’t had tough schedule before with target on our back and just act like we won’t be 2-0 isn’t possible
Nothing lol. It's Week 1 and 2, all three teams will look completely different in January
Gauntlet? The Chiefs are back to back champs. We ARE the gauntlet!
We? You on the team?
@@andrewgionta9748 yes.
least you can dodge the lions this year, lol was really hoping for a lion kc superbowl last year, rub kcs nose in it twice in one year
but are you one of the weirdos from Missouri that cheered for the rams so now you cheer for their former intown rival???
@@jeffgilbetson2641-xk5fwlol Lions fans are funny no Kelce no Jones and Toney with two crucial drops and y’all act like y’all were the better team
since the greatest accomplishment of Joe Burrow's career - beating the Chiefs in the AFCCG two years ago - the Chiefs have won two Super Bowls
Like the regular season really matters for the chiefs, does anybody believe they're going to miss the playoffs? Everybody besides Bart Scott
I'd say there's a better than 0% chance they don't make the playoffs.
@@MoMoMyPup10lol. Yes, basically the chance that Mahomes suffers a season ending injury.
@@thatstheway2429 I think they would still make the playoffs in that division
The regular season does matter. They want the #1 seed.
Bart Scott told ravens players to head hunt and try to take burrow out of the game a few years ago..... on live TV. Dude is a clown. No idea how he still has a job.
The Bengals are 2nd to make sure Burrow isn't already hurt. 😀
Smart move by the NFL to get some marquee matchups before certain teams are out of contention.
The Chiefs schedule is ALWAYS tough. They ALWAYS play a first place schedule. And always seem to win 12 games. Haters can hate if they want, but theyre a damn good team. I dont see it being any different this year.
Not it’s not 😂.
KC always has a mid level schedule bc they have such a weak division
@@natej84they literally had a playoff team in the division in 2023/23
@@JordanT3025 they play all the other first place teams in the conference, and the according seed from the NFC, which is usually the 1st or 2nd seed. 🤷 Don't know what more you want from em
@@thetalkinggreenbox8948 last year only KC made it. The year before, the chargers made it and blew a huge lead to lost to the jags. The year before that, the raiders barely made it and got beat by the Bengals. KCs division is easy and all the other teams in it are either terrible or barely average. Imagine kc in the AFC north, where 2 or 3 teams are always the most injured teams in the NFL, bc they beat the crap out of each other
The tougher game will be the Ravens because Baltimore under Harbaugh has the best Opening Week win percentage since 2008 and they'll be motivated by the NFL trying to rub the Chiefs Super Bowl Party in their faces. The Bengals I think will be easier simply because they don't start off well to begin a season and it's also in Arrowhead.
Bengals are a tougher challenge. It is easier to defend Lamar than Burrow. Chiefs win both games anyway.
Bengals might get a good start this year. If burrow starts off healthy
@@Muzzlecrowe-li9kt Thats why the NFL is the great unknown. You can't predict what'll happen in a given year.
@@michaelhession2105 you just did lol
@@Muzzlecrowe-li9kt I know I did, but the thing is sometimes the predictions you make don't always become reality.
Mahomes gonna have to pick up the sword again . Ball in his left hand and the sword in his right. Slay’em all for the 3 peat.
Chiefs Week 2 is a blessing in disguise for the Bengals who struggle with slow starts. I think the Chiefs force the Bengals to start the season on their A game. If they win, Bengals start the season with momentum unlike ever, and if they lose, so what, it’s week 2.
I don’t want to hear anyone critize the Chiefs anymore. Year after year they play the best of the best and they win. This year they play the Ravens, Bills, Texans, Bengals, and 49’ers. The schedule makers routinely helped the Brady and Belichick teams, and they do the exact opposite for the Chiefs. I hope the Chiefs pass every milestone of those coddled Patriot teams. I think the Chiefs still have a good chance to threepeat. It won’t be easy at all though
Back then the schedules rotated outside of your division. So you'd get 1 AFC Division & 1 NFC Division. You would not play that Division for another 3-4yrs.
Their strength of schedule is literally bottom 16. Yapping 😂
@@danielvaladez3210they had a top 5 schedule for over 8 years dude. Chiefs are a dynasty. Deal with it. Stop crying
The chiefs have a 16th place easy schedule goh with unfairness 😂😂😂. They always have a easy schedule
They are helping the Chiefs my ignorant fellow…… Or you’re not ignorant and you’re just trying to make it sound difficult lol
Give us the Lombardi already respectfully
They'll give them all the hard games while rice is suspended.
Guessing the NFL will either throw the Charges or the Bills at the Chiefs wk3, away.
I bet Buffalo is a December game. Chargers is a good call.
Good. Line em up. I'm here for the best games.
Feels like everybody is so nervous about the very first game of the season. All i can say is a win is good but a loss is no big deal. The first game is like dipping your toe into the tub of water.
Ikr. They lost against the Lions in last season's opener and they got a chip.
Loved TJ singing “on this day” right after Rich said it. Perfect wrestling reference.
As a chiefs fan, I love the schedule. Even if we start 0-2 we still have plenty of time to reevaluate and get it right, with 2 of the “toughest” games out of the way. Mahomes will show you magic again.
Great show! Enjoyed it for sure! Go Chiefs!
If you told the Chiefs two weeks ago that they open against Baltimore and Cincy they'd say "Cool, sounds like fun."
Taylor has 8 concerts in Canada when her tour resumes on Nov 14. Her last one is Dec 8. Easier on her to see Kelce play. I am wondering if the NFL will schedule the Chiefs’ bye week when she is playing or when she is off. I bet anyone a donut that there was discussion in a scheduling committee meeting on this topic.
It really doesn't mean much of anything. KC could lose both and still 3-peat or they could win both and not even be in the Super Bowl. A whole lot happens over 17 weeks during a season. Sure, on paper it's a tough start, but you never know what kind of crazy might take place along the way. It could also end up as a split for KC and this ends up being a non story.
Why is nobody talking about that both of those games are in Arrowhead? It seems like all their tough games are at home lol
Tell me about it… 3 of last 4 for Bengals have been at KC!
That's just the normal cycle of how it works. The Chiefs are slated to play the AFC North and the NFC South this year. Three years ago they played the Ravens in Baltimore, and then played the Bengals in Cincinnati, whereas they played the Steelers and Browns at home. They still have to play the winners of the AFC East and South from last year, one is in Buffalo, and the other will be at home against Houston. Just how it works.
@@charliemirus4124 How many of those were in the postseason? 2? Since you know thats based on your regular season record and the teams themselves control that.
No, for KC, the two toughest games are 49ers and buffalo, both on the road.
Well its a good thing the chiefs are also going on the road in week two, facing joey b in burrowhead.
For Those who don't know the "He Hate Me" Origin, Rod Smith first played in the Old XFL with the Las Vegas Outlaws and He was always wearing He Hate Me on the back of his Jersey and managed to be come a Popular Phrase over time.
Man, Chris is living dangerously. "0 and 3!" I mean, KC knew they had to play these people. Probably just a sigh, a shrug, and a bring it (and who tf we gonna play instead of Rice?). Anyway, would rather play tough games early. That way any injuries/strains/aches have time to heal by the end of the season. Hoping there are none, though!!
TWO years ago the Chiefs had 2 new receivers (Juju and MVS) in an Andy Reid offense with Mahomes as QB and no real film for defenses to study until around mid-season... Mahomes went 5000 and 41 on the way to his 2nd League and SB MVP... Now, 2 years later and two new receivers (with speed) in an Andy Reid offense with Mahomes as QB and no real film... Play the deep ball and Kelce will feast and Pacheco will have a lighter box to run in... Play up and then it goes over the top...Even with the changes in the defense, this is still one of the best in the Mahomes era... The first few weeks will be the hardest for opposing teams with the limited film... The better the teams they face in the beginning, the easier the 2nd half will be to get playoff ready... So, I can see another 5000 and 50 on the way to a 3 Pete... Just My Humble Opinion based on stats and facts...
The fan bases that will be the chirpiest the rest of the season after these 2 games. Kansas City needed a start like this, they'll get everyone's best shot because they're defending champs, but the Ravens and Bengals will be swinging harder than the rest. They should line up the entire AFC North for Kansas to start.
It's going to be glorious.
The team is Missouri not Kansas. Every team for the past 6 or 7 years have played the Chiefs like its their personal Superbowl, these two games will be no different. I don't know why people haven't figured out the Chiefs are battle tested in the playoffs because they get every teams best shot. So bring it...
Suprised these matchups aren't late season matchups. These three teams will be playing for playoff seeding, unless something bad happens to one of these star Qbs
He hate me 😂😂 a real legend
Two home games, 10 days between. Winning these puts the tie breaker in their hands too. The Chiefs will be motivated.
Let’s go!!
Bring it on! ❤
get their 2 toughest games out of the way at the start of the season when healthy sounds like a win for them tbh
Let's go.. I love it.. Give us a tough schedule right out of the gate.. let's see what we're made of early...
Week one Andy gets all off-season to prepare for Baltimore.... then he gets a mini-bye for Cinci??.... 3Peat is LOADING 🤘🤘🤘🤘
They want to make sure burrow and Lamar are healthy so they get food games
Haven't heard the name Stephen Davis in a minute. 😢
It should get more difficult if a team win's back to back SB's.
As long as the Chiefs make the playoffs anything can happen. I'm a huge Chiefs fan and by the standard Mahomes and Reid have set, last regular season didn't give me high hopes. It's a long season, every team will give the Chiefs their best
Correct! They are automatically at worst the 4 seed…. It’s a wrap lol!
Did some research. Since 2018, Baltimore has beat the Chiefs, regular and post season, 1 time, in 2021. Buffalo 3 times, 21' 22' 23', only in the regular season. San Francisco, one time, 2020 regular season. Cleveland has never beat the Chiefs in that time frame but we play almost every year. Cincinnati, 3 times, reg and post season in 21', regular season in 22'. The Chiefs have a record of 18-8 against these teams in the last 5 seasons. 1 loss in the post season.
That 3peat gon be tough😯
Like the regular season matters at all to the Chiefs
Like the playoffs matter at all to the ravens.
@@1craley878 hahaha you won the internet today for me my friend
@@velder22 cool thanks, I always wanted to win the internet, I hope it helps lower my home WiFi bills. 💸
U guys are hilarious but at the same time keeping it 💯
Its been speculated that KC plays CAR week 8 on Thursday night football. It's either gonna be at DEN, LV or LAC week 3
Chiefs play Carolina in Germany
@GRITBONE that's what I thought as well but Schefter tweeted earlier today it was Week 8 TNF. 🤷♂️ guess we'll know for sure which is true tmrw night
@@GRITBONE wonder what the international games will be
Oh my god grandpa's stories take FOREVER lol
Chiefs have the 15th hardest schedule while the ravens have the 2nd
Go Bengals 🐅🐅🐅
Hello Rich, guys. I'm listening to your show as often as possible fromagere France. I am by no mean a NFL expert. Only' a longtime fan. However regarding the 2 post Season hit topics I reckon thé situation are quite logical. For the cowboys, they are all in, and if i refer to Texas hold'em all in means: pretty good chance to win with m'y current hand, and if not lose all and will need to recave. And that's exactly what Jerry Jones did. The bottomline being it s either champioship ring or out. And for the flacons, they believe they are a championship team, as long as they have legit quaterbacking. How do you do si with lesser risk : sign a Big Time fa, and draft a pro ready QB. How many pro ready QB were available on round 2?
Let's get to running 💪💪💪
Go Chiefs 💪💪💪
Never been done in the Super Bowl era. The Packers did win three NFL championships in a row from 1965 to 1967. Which did include the first two Super Bowls.
Cant wait to see the back peddle from yall when they start 2-0 lmaooo
Honestly, I think the NFL schedulers are so manipulative and predictable
- and I wish somebody would say WHY they always send the same teams to the same stadiums
i.e. WHY is it always Cincy @ KC, instead of KC ever going to the teams' city that always gets sent to them? 🤷🏻
cincy at kc because kc are the defending champs
It's not always Cincy @KC, you just have a selective memory. In 2021 and 2022 the Chiefs played in Cincinnati during the regular season. The only reason it feels that way is because you're only remembering the playoff games, which KC got to host because they had the better regular season record.
read up on how the NFL schedule is decided..... you'll learn a lot and look less ignorant on the internet.
@@GRITBONE or, maybe I shouldn't have to do research on something before making a comment (about people on a sports talk show talking about the NFL scheduling) in a comment section about the NFL schedule. 🤨
So Chiefs get two massive opponents at home in back to back weeks? Nice! Can't wait for all the Statefarm commercials to flood my brain this fall.
As a bengals fan this sucks. Chiefs get a mini bye before the game, bengals are on regular rest.
I fucking love this ❤ 💪🏾
This benefits the Chiefs get the tough part out of the way while everyone is fresh then coast the rest of the way towards the end of the season. 3peat is happening
Training camp and pre-season are going to be huge for the Chiefs. They have several new players in key positions. Going up against these two power-houses in games 1 and 2 will be a tough slog with a lot of new faces filling holes. Coaching is everything.
Rich has never really liked the chiefs and Mahomes. He hates them low key
Especially when he (like so many otherse) had to eat his words after the Tyreek trade.
its high key. Rich earned a PHD, Player Haters Degree.
I'm good with getting the harder games out of the way early. Andy has them boys ready for the season more than anybody else from the grueling camp.
Really don't want to do this whole Taylor Swift NFL coverage thing again this year 🙄
Kind of sucks that people seem to know so little about the Chiefs that all they can think to talk about is who someone is dating.
The complainers and haters invented it. They don't show her much during the game, it's after the game talking heads can't stop talking about it. The haters talk the most, and talking heads who don't really know much.
I don't care about them panning to her during games, it's just how the media can't stop talking about it all on top of it, I'm here to hear funny (sometimes informative) takes on SPORTS lol 💀
If the Chiefs make their way through a hard schedule and manage to get a three-peat, no one will question how great they are. Earn it!
Back to back home games. Going at KC pretty hard indeed Richie lol
8:21
Schedule Guy: "You are going to star with 2 home games." Chiefs Fans: "Great!"😃
Schedule Guy: "But you are playing the Ravens and Bengals." Chiefs Fans: *EVEN BETTER!!* 😈
I actually think the early games are going to be two Kansas city's benefit. The Bengals and Ravens have traditionally started off a lot worse and get better as the season progresses. So even if they meet in the playoffs because the Chiefs could win early, they would likely have themselves locked up into a better seeding. It would be hilarious for them to have to run a gauntlet of Ravens, Bengals, @Buffalo and @SanFran. If the Chiefs came out of that 4-0 the fanfare and undefeated talk would be deafening in Kansas City
But on the other hand, BAM BAM you win both of those at home and all of a sudden you're 2-0 with your two toughest home games out of the way.
Give us the Vegas rematch at 3!
I feel sorry for the Ravens and Bengals lol seeing they gotta play the Chiefs right off the bat
It's all Joe and Jamar wanted for Christmas 😁
@@jlwilder8436 watch em play each other on Christmas
@@GRITBONE when? What are you talking about? 🤷🏻
They weren't a Christmas Day game last year (AND it was in KC last year, too) and it won't be this year either. They haven't played a Christmas Day game. 😶
What really is going to have me uncomfortable is if we play the Texans late in the year, something tells me that’s going to end up being our toughest game
Ain't no way the Chiefs are losing those two openers(at home?). Schedule makers did them a HUGE FAVOR.
Watch em have to play @SF wk 3.
No problem
That’s how we would know the NFL really doesn’t want a 3-peat
Probably be a division game
Thats exactly how we want it bring it
the chiefs could start 0-2 and they'll still be the favorites. getting two of their toughest games out of the way is good for them, whatever the result. but if they get 2-0, scary for the rest of the league.
On this day I see clearly.
To this day I still feel my Broncos made a huge mistake moving on from Plummer. He was playing great and we may have missed out on a longer multi year run with him under Center. As it is people barely remember he was QB1 here for a minute. Getting rid of him and putting Cutler in probly cost Shanahan his job too.
honestly they lucked out getting bengals, ravens and texans as home games
Reid always prepares well week 1 then extra time vs Conci
Who is the backup for Burrow? It would be nice to know who the Chiefs are actually going up against in week 2. Just sayin...
At Cleveland week # 3
Last year the Chiefs became the first team in NFL history to start against 7 straight playoff teams from the previous year.
This rough schedule is nothing new. They survived the rough start and got a groove going in the 2nd half of the season.
Let's be real. These types of schedules make teams better. You can't beat cupcakes all year and hope to flip a switch.
I wonder if the NFL is so invested in Taylor coming to these games that they'll setup the Chiefs schedule so she can attend the most games. By the time the season rolls around she's back to the US and Canada so nothing like the Super Bowl with the whole "can she make it?" questions. But some weekends she has concerts on Sundays, others she doesn't. I wonder if her Sunday concert weeks will conveniently find KC on Monday or Thursday night football, or their bye week.
Did they play the lions and jaguars week 1-2 last year, both teams that were expected to be very good last year. Chances are the ravens will be great and burrow will still be rusty from his hand injury
Buffalo week 3 would be wild start and if they end up 3-0 or even 2-1 then they would have a great chance to win the division again!!!! LFG!!!
Just looking at historical data, the Bengals start seasons terribly. They’re fun but they’re like a cool car that takes a while to start, heat up, and get moving.
This is in LC’s favor. Reid gets 4 months to game plan and prepare for Ravens. Then mini-bye to stay at home and play Bungels.
Advantage KC, and that’s how Mahomes will play it..
Brockman saying they would go 0-3 is disrespectful
Even though it’s entertainment, Brockman is always a Chiefs hater.
Brockman is the obvious contrarian, because the host is Mr nice guy. But Brockman just comes off as a dork.
Number 1 in the division plays all the other number 1s. Just like, if you finish last in the div, you go against the others who were last
Did you guys see how we just beat every one of the best teams one after another in the playoffs? We’re about to dust these dudes this year! Kansas City rock’n !
I bet it’s at Carolina in week 3 unless the league wants blood then @Cleveland or Pittsburgh lol
These guys are doing SODOKU with the schedule. 🤣🤣
The first Overrreaction Monday WILL involve Brockman calling the Threepeat
So many of you aren’t even thinking about Cincinnati. They win the Super Bowl 59!
Chiefs Bengals week 2 is so that Cincinnati has a chance to play the Chiefs before Burrow is injured again
The question they didn’t ask was what if the chiefs start 2-0 over THOSE teams?
Game 3 will be vs the Browns and then Game 4 vs Steelers so we can speedrun the AFC North (or is it East?).
Honestly none of these teams are super frightening. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a dark horse win the AFC crown this season.
