Frank, I think last night the Chiefs gave the entire league a reason to say, oh God, because you talk about that speed from Xavier worthy.
There was nobody that could get in the way of it like he was open.
He didn’t even the stat line good.
The number of times he was open.
Great.
Right?
Rashi Rice looked explosive in that offense.
Everything looked fast and now all of a sudden I’m looking at it and saying after last year, you made a smart point the other day you went back and rewatched the Super Bowl and it reminded you how bad the offense looked at times and they still won the Super Bowl.
I watched that last night thing and how in that hell is anybody gonna stop this version of the Chiefs?
If that’s week one when they’re rusty and they got to get things worked out with the rookie wide receiver, you’re asking a lot from, if that’s week one, what are they gonna look like by week 12?
Like we sat here and said, well, is Kelsey gonna hit the wall?
I kept looking at it saying last night, my God with that level of speed.
I don’t know how you stop this version of Kansas City.
I know it’s only one game, but you can’t tell me the rest of the league didn’t watch that game and say, oh God, this just got even tougher than we thought you could pair a top five defense with a top five offense with the Chiefs.
It is really, really scary.
It is going to be hard to defend that offense was Xavier Worthy being there.
Now, they didn’t even have Hollywood Brown last night, who I think it’s gonna be a huge actor like the, the difference with Juju Smith Schuster at this point in his career and Hollywood Brown is massive and that’s what you’re going to be upgrading to as soon as next week on offense, the defense still looks great.
Uh They got gassed a little bit in the, at the end, they gave up the long drive, but that’s Lamar.
Lamar is gonna do that to you again.
This defense looked as good as ever.
Offense is gonna be great.
How do you beat this team?
Uh It’s gonna be really, really hard this year.
