00:00But we begin with how the night ended,

00:02which was in MetLife where the Giants couldn't crack 10

00:05and the Kansas City Chiefs just ultimately rode off into the sunset.

00:1022-9, easy win, easy cover, kind of.

00:16I mean, it was 6-0, and then the Giants were about to take the lead,

00:20and I think it was a blocked extra point

00:22to just kind of make sure all the momentum from the early noon slate continued.

00:29This is one of those games, though,

00:30where you don't leave overwhelmed by Kansas City, Donnie,

00:35but they needed a win, and they got it.

00:39They were lucky they were playing the Giants,

00:40and I say this, too, because the Giants are one of those teams

00:43that goes into a game that's like, oh, no, our kickers hurt before the snap.

00:46Now, understand this, Kevin.

00:47Long day for me yesterday.

00:48Didn't watch this game live.

00:50Woke up early, and I was going to think, ooh, first drive of the game.

00:53Giants got good field position.

00:55They're going to kick a field goal up to go 3-0

00:56and maybe start to put a little pressure on Kansas City.

00:58Oh, they're going for it.

00:59They're being aggressive.

01:00No!

01:01The kicker got hurt before the game,

01:02and that played a major thing all throughout, Kevin,

01:05because once you got down into scoring position,

01:07you understand as a quarterback, well, we can't kick a field goal.

01:09I've got to take extra chances,

01:11and those extra chances killed the New York Giants.

01:14So you were right yesterday.

01:15We had a close game at the half,

01:16but if you're going to have an offense without a kicker

01:18and a quarterback that's throwing multiple interceptions

01:20against a team that desperately needed a win in Kansas City,

01:24that's what you got, a low-scoring game where Kansas City

01:26didn't have to open anything up

01:28because they were basically laughing at the Giants

01:30for three-quarters of that game.

01:32And I think for Kansas City, though, DRS,

01:34there were moments where it seemingly was going to burn them.

01:37I thought Andy Reid was pretty bad in the game.

01:39I thought he was conservative, too.

01:41I know a lot of people thought he would be.

01:43That doesn't mean he should have been,

01:45and I think that this is a team that needs to attack down the field.

01:48Tyquan Thornton deserves some respect.

01:50It was seven days of people defending Mahomes going,

01:53he's throwing a Tyquan Thornton.

01:55Tyquan Thornton's bailing out Pat Mahomes when I'm watching these games.

01:58Like, ultimately, we all believe Mahomes is great, Donnie.

02:02We do.

02:03Was he great in this game?

02:04Because then we must have been watching different games.

02:06I'm not saying you're saying that, but I hear it in other places.

02:09I thought he was still inaccurate.

02:11Now, he took more chances, and I think they need to do that,

02:14ultimately, to win football games because they will connect on him

02:18or get some of the pass interferences that we saw break their way.

02:22But still, through three weeks here,

02:24I don't feel like I'm watching the best quarterback in football.

02:27We don't need to shift rankings around after three games,

02:30but Mahomes is not playing at that level.

02:32I think that's fair to say.

02:34It is fair to say that.

02:35But again, the Calvary is going to be coming back soon

02:37at the wide receiver position to sort of open things up.

02:39But you're right about last night.

02:40Like, at the end of that half, let me just throw a punt up in the air,

02:42and the Giants DB is like,

02:43I'll just tackle the guy out here and hope it doesn't get called.

02:46Oh, no, it got called.

02:47But how about maybe the play of the game, Kevin?

02:49Patrick Mahomes, again, to your point,

02:51throws a backward pass fired into the turf.

02:54That should have been a touchdown for the Giants.

02:56Oh, Karakay picks it up.

02:57And Mahomes goes,

02:58let me just go over here and steal the football from me

03:00and save the day right now.

03:00Like, he does things that are so crazy and gets away with it here,

03:03but it is more magnified because the ease of touchdowns

03:06just isn't there yet.

03:07Like, they struggle to score points.

03:09They struggle to move the football down the field.

03:11And you're right about bailouts.

03:12How about that great catch by Thornton?

03:14Like, basically, hey, it's a one-on-one jump ball.

03:15Somehow it gets past the defender, makes a great play,

03:18and they're down at the one-yard line.

03:19They got a lot of benefits last night, but they did win the game.

03:21But you're right.

03:22Nobody's looking at the Chiefs going, like,

03:23what happened to that three-play, 72-yard touchdown offense?

03:26That's a thing of the past.

03:28The thing, one of the plays that interests me a ton

03:31bothered me even more because,

03:34so I needed Mahomes, Donnie, at 225 to close out a play.

03:37Look, all I'm saying is they called it an eight-yard swing pass

03:42to Brashad Smith.

03:44It stood, and then he was at 230.

03:47I don't know what happened, but the next thing you know,

03:49it was a run.

03:49He's down to 224.

03:51It was interesting, to say the least.

03:53I tweeted the play out.

03:55I don't really know about that decision.

03:57But I got – I felt like we were on the desk.

03:59I've seen this a million times where I'm panicking.

04:02You go, you're good.

04:03Third and four.

04:04They're going to throw this for a four-yard, five-yard gain.

04:09And Mahomes took a 50-yard deep shot on third and four

04:12for no reason, Donnie, in the final two minutes of the game.

04:15It tells me, though, he wants to open this up.

04:20It is – that's what Mahomes is seeing.

04:23It's going to be on Andy Reid, I think, now,

04:25to put him in those positions a little bit.

04:27Yes, they obviously await the returns of Xavier Worthy and Rasheed Rice.
