Yeah, I tried to give them a listen a couple times and I'm just sitting there like "who are these dildoes and why should I give a shit what they have to say?"

Eh.
I gave them a try when they came to KCSN. I liked them at first. Then when the playoffs rolled around I realized they don't really talk X's and O's, they just break down statistics. So they for both the Ravens and 49ers games, they were raining doom and gloom about how much better those teams were statistically. They don't claim to be experts (hence Amateur Hour) but damn that was depressing.
Meanwhile the lab guys are looking at matchups and schemes and seeing specific places the Chiefs could take advantage. They see where the path to victory is, acknowledge the statistics, but point to what built those statistics. [Reply]

They're generally PRETTY rational, and they have their pulse on the fanbase to know what people are interested in discussing. But beyond that, it's about what I'd expect if we took a couple of our more astute CP posters and put a microphone in front of them.
Whether you find value in that is the question. I generally find them to be an easy listen.
Yeah this is why I like them. Sometimes you just want to revel in the game with other fans. By their own admission they're more of a review show than a preview show.
Their shows are usually about 45 minutes, which is about what OWG would be if you just took the content and stripped out all the grab-assery.
They're also the ones who looked at team DVOA in Tom Brady's championship seasons with the Pats, and found it wasn't correlated much at all with the Patriot's top regular season DVOA over those 17 years. I thought that was really interesting. [Reply]

But his playoff resume these last handful of years makes him absolutely irreplaceable. He's hit EVERY kick we needed him to in so many big moments that wouldn't BE big moments if not for him - like the 13 seconds game. That was no chip shot. The crazy thing is, they were mostly afterthoughts before the kick and after he nailed it. I think that speaks to how valuable he is. Similar to Tucker, where people would be shocked if they miss, and Tucker hasn't done it like Butt in the playoffs year after year.
Until we get our offense "CRUISING AGAIN" you pay the man, PERIOD!! [Reply]

Honestly, I usually start with Last Page and if I'm still interested, then I click back a page or two. Don't have the time to read as much as I might otherwise. [Reply]

In my opinion, even after the offense gets cruising again you pay him. He's more than earned it and what he does is extremely important to the Chiefs success. I know a kicker is not a sexy or valuable position but in this case it is. Like most NFL dynasties Chiefs tend to win a lot of close games, especially in the playoffs, so Butker is worth the money he will be paid. It's not like the Chiefs have to break the bank to pay the guy. Look at the last Bills playoff game we had, you think Butler misses that clutch FG kick like the Bills kicker did?
Now if the Chiefs were a team rebuilding and not a constant SB favorite/contender I think then you let him go. But this isn't the case with our situation. [Reply]

For sure.
We are all blessed to be Chief fans. As we know it wasn't always like this and I'm sure it won't be once Mahomes/Reid leave. So we have to enjoy this era as much as we can and not take it for granted.
