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

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.
