00:03 >> So Mark, kind of looking at it from a chiefs angle, Patrick Mahomes,

00:07 30 to 39, that is not bad, he gets the win, he's heading to the Super Bowl again,

00:12 man, what do you think overall of the Chiefs performance today in Baltimore?

00:17 >> I mean, you can't get mad at their performance, I mean, look,

00:20 they're the most nauseating team in professional sports right now,

00:24 I don't think that's debatable.

00:25 If you're not from Kansas City, Missouri, or whatever other side of the state of

00:30 Kansas that roots for that team, if you're not one of those people,

00:33 they're the most nauseating, annoying team in professional sports right now.

00:38 Emotions aside from that, can't get mad at them, they're extremely well coached,

00:42 they have a great quarterback, they know how to play in big moments.

00:45 The situation, the environment doesn't phase them.

00:48 And by the way, yeah, the reception's prop for

00:52 Travis Kelsey is going to be so high for the Super Bowl.

00:55 I guess it'd be nine and a half or ten, or ten and a half even,

00:58 somewhere between nine and a half and ten and a half would be the reception's prop.

01:02 Like, Mahomes always knows how to find Kelsey in big games.

01:08 And what teams fail to do is make the adjustment early on when he does that to

01:14 go, okay, guess what, I could understand when Tyreek Hill was on the field,

01:18 that made sense.

01:20 But if you're the 49ers and Travis Kelsey catches ten balls, shame on you.

01:25 You deserve to lose that game.

01:28 That is the one person on the field you do not let beat you.

01:32 End of conversation, end of discussion.

01:35 If the 49ers and their defensive crew can't figure that out,

01:38 you don't deserve to win that game.

01:40 And that's the bottom line.

01:42 You let anybody else beat you, whatever scrub is playing wide receiver for

01:46 this team that they just pulled off the street the other day.

01:49 Guys who all of a sudden found their hands two weeks ago that couldn't find

01:52 them for the first 17 weeks of the season, you don't let Travis Kelsey beat you.

01:56 Because Mahomes always finds a way to get him the ball in these games.

02:00 Go look at his playoff numbers.

02:02 It's not a shock why he leads every tight end reception category in the history

02:07 of the game, even passing Gronk at this point,

02:09 who played in a lot more playoff games than he did to this point in his career.

02:12 So it's just, again, coaching, how do you handicap a coach who goes,

02:17 you know what, I guess we'll leave 87 open.

02:21 We'll play zone, let 87 sit right in the middle there, it'll be fine.

02:25 Good idea, let's do that.

02:27 How?

02:29 How?

02:30 Like, to let him, it's not, it wasn't like he was targeted 19 times and

02:34 caught 11.

02:36 He was targeted 11 and caught all 11.

02:39 That's a problem.

02:40 Like, that should not happen to the best offensive weapon on the field,

02:45 not name the quarterback.

02:46 I mean, would you let Justin Jefferson get 11 catches on 11 targets?

02:52 Would you let Jamar Chase get 11 catches on 11 targets?

02:55 Would you let Amonrah St.

02:56 Brown get 11 catches on 11 targets?

02:58 How about no?

03:00 Cuz you don't leave dudes that wide open.

03:01 Coaching, it matters.
