  • Save the K vs. Downtown Ballpark

    We're sticking to politics, pal.... kinda. Our resident SVP of Talent Relations stepped out of his role as Andy and Matt's babysitter and got behind the mic to give a report on a candidate forum that he and Andy attended. The speakers were from the Save the K and The Kansas City Royals Downtown Ballpark committee. Hear what both sides had to say, who answered our questions, who dodged them, and ultimately if our guys are on the side of Save the K or Downtown Stadium.

  • Like a good neighbor...

    Andy shares in detail all the ways his "good neighbor" insurance company dropped the ball as it pertained to his wife's no fault automobile accident in December. Not surprisingly, it was a texting and driving accident where another driver wedged his car between hers and the car in the next lane. From there it was headache and hassle after headache and hassle. And the worst culprit - the insurance company that Andy and Kara have been with 25+ years.

    Summary

    Meeting Purpose:

    Casual conversation between friends discussing the Kansas City Chiefs' recent loss and overall performance this season.

     

    Key Takeaways

    • Both were frustrated with the Chiefs' loss to the Packers and felt the officiating was poor.
  • They analyzed the AFC playoff picture and possible matchups. Feel the Chiefs can still make a run if they get key players healthy.
  • Discussed the razor thin margin between winning and losing in the NFL. Coaching and QB play are key factors.
  • Expressed concerns about the Chiefs' energy and motivation levels in some games. Team needs to play with more urgency.

    • Topics:

    • Chiefs' Loss to Packers
  • Both were very frustrated with the loss, especially the non-call on the Valdes-Scantling pass interference. Felt it was a clear penalty that should have been called.
  • Discussed if that penalty was called, the Chiefs still would have needed to convert a 2-point conversion to tie. Outcome may have been the same.
  • Officiating was bad both ways. But doesn't excuse missing such an obvious call.

    •  

    AFC Playoff Picture

    • Analyzed the current AFC playoff standings. Chiefs currently the 4 seed.
  • Discussed potential playoff matchups. Feel Chiefs match up better against certain teams like Pittsburgh.
  • Injuries will play a key role. Getting Nick Bolton back at linebacker will help.
  • The bye week for the 1 seed is critical. Allows team to get healthy and coaches to game plan.

    • Concerns About Chiefs' Performance

    • Expressed concerns about the Chiefs' energy and motivation levels in some games. At times they look flat.
  • Winning and losing margins are razor thin in NFL. Coaching and QB play are key factors.
  • Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes give the Chiefs an advantage in close games.
  • Team needs to play with more urgency and consistency headed into playoffs.

    •  

    Next Steps:

    • Check in on friend Kelly Howerton who is a big Chiefs fan. He was likely very frustrated with the loss as well.
  • Keep perspective that regular season losses aren't devastating. But Chiefs need to play better football in December.
  • Look ahead to huge game against Buffalo. That game will have major playoff implications.
