  Also you can find them on Exit Landry Football Chris. Welcome in,
• 0:08
  sir. How's it going. I'm done? Good, Jick. How you
• 0:10
  doing, Little Melankiley? Now that football is over? But got too much
• 0:14
  work with draft preparation and everything that it'll be here before you know it,
• 0:20
  when we're kicking it off again. Oh, there's no doubt about it.
• 0:23
  There's so much to continue to talk about and get into, and before we
• 0:26
  get to some of the specifics, just kind of your thought of the game.
• 0:30
  I know, you know if you depending on who you talk to.
• 0:32
  And it's such a weird world of football watching that we're in, because you
• 0:36
  know, for me, this is take on this. I can sit down
• 0:39
  and watch a defensive football game and be highly entertained. If it's a ten
• 0:43
  to seven ball game, I can be highly entertained. I heard a lot
• 0:47
  of chatter last night where I was at zero zero score, you know,
• 0:51
  and after one, ten to three, after two, and people kind of
• 0:54
  want, wow, this is this game is so boring. I didn't look
• 0:56
  at it that way. Now, obviously you talk about the finish in the
• 0:59
  fourth quarter in the overtime. But your thoughts of the overall performance that you
• 1:03
  saw last night, And I thought it was a well played game. I
• 1:06
  thought I thought both defenses really caused a lot of problems upfront for protections and
• 1:15
  in causing problems in the run blocking scheme for both offenses. I think in
• 1:21
  Super Bowl as you sometimes are a little bit cautious, and I think that
• 1:26
  contributes to some of it. And yeah, just a lot of people just
• 1:30
  they only like scoring. I'm with you to me, when you score points,
• 1:34
  it should matter, it should be difficult, it shouldn't be easy.
• 1:38
  I don't want to watch, you know, a football version of an NBA
• 1:42
  regular season game, particularly in a big moment. I think that a couple
• 1:48
  of things that just jump out at me. And I believe this over years
• 1:52
  and years and being in the Super Bowl that it heightens everything. So you
• 1:57
  know, the bigger the moment, the more mistakes will cost you. Because
• 2:04
  obviously in the playoffs you're playing better teams. For one, two, you
• 2:08
  know, the game is you know, more important because anytime you're in a
• 2:15
  win or go home game, it's different than a regular season game, which
• 2:20
  you've got next week. There is no next week. I thought the difference
• 2:23
  was while both made mistakes with turnovers early, neither defense that were the benefactor
• 2:31
  of the offensive mistakes that the other team were able to turn that into points
• 2:36
  early. But then I thought it was mistakes and I think Travis kelceon of
• 2:42
  course Patrick Mahomes in the second half, that was the difference San Francisco.
• 2:51
  Look, it's a flute play, not a bad play, bad mistake,
• 2:55
  but you know, when you have a turnover on a punt return, that's
• 3:00
  devastating, and the next play they come and they get a touchdown, you
• 3:05
  miss an extra point. Now Mooney is not kicked great in the playoffs,
• 3:10
  but nailed a couple of big field goals, missed an extra point. We're
• 3:15
  not talking about the Chiefs tying it at sixteen sixteen. It's a seventeen to
• 3:19
  sixteen game, or you know, at least it's an extra point for San
• 3:23
  Francisco. That dictates things differently. So it's little things like that that huge
• 3:28
  because it helps to not determine the outcome of the game because again you've got
• 3:32
  more game left to play from the time that had happened. But it affects
• 3:37
  how the game is played, and I thought that was the difference. Look.
• 3:40
  I thought going in Kansas City had an advantage in a couple of areas,
• 3:47
  including game preparation. And I thought San Francisco got a great game plan.
• 3:52
  I thought Steve Wilkes challenges defensive front. I thought the Niners defensive line
• 3:57
  played unlike it has in the playoffs. Heard me for two weeks say that
• 4:01
  ain't good enough, that the way they played against Green Maine Detroit is not
• 4:04
  good enough. They showed up and they played well, and they played their
• 4:10
  hearts out and they gave themselves every chance to win. I thought Purdy did
• 4:15
  a nice job. You know, it was not flawless. I thought Mahomes
• 4:19
  was flustered early. But in the end, it's about what you do in
• 4:24
  the fourth quarter in close games like that, it's the adjustments that you make.
• 4:29
  I thought the Steve Spagnolo, who did a tremendous job generally more interior
• 4:34
  pressure affected them a lot. I think he, you know, San Francisco
• 4:39
  is running the football well, and they said we can't. We can't allow
• 4:44
  that to happen. We got to put extra numbers and create pressure with them.
• 4:47
  Run run blitzes and basically crowd crouded the pocket and pushed the pocket and
• 4:56
  forced Rock Party to make some tough plays, which he made. So he
• 5:00
  plays late like he has done all playoffs, to bring his team back and
• 5:02
  give them a chance to win. But to me, it was in the
• 5:08
  end that final drive, Kansas City saying okay, and Mahomes probably saying the
• 5:14
  ball's in my hands. See the fourth down play. It was his own
• 5:17
  read, but he was keeping it and I mean they The only thing I
• 5:21
  would say that that surprised me was that Bolsa crash because you got to know,
• 5:26
  if you're San Francisco fourth and one, the ball ain't coming out of
• 5:30
  Mahomes hands. And I thought his legs, Mahomes' legs was the biggest factor
• 5:35
  for him bringing his team back his his I don't have enough adjectives to describe
• 5:44
  how good Patrick Mahome is because he has that killer instinct that Michael Jordan and
• 5:50
  Tom Brady whatever, you know, those great that great athletes have it that
• 5:56
  can get it done in the moment. Plus on top of all that,
• 6:00
  when the game is on the line, he's the best athlete on the field.
• 6:02
  It's not like Lamar Jackson athlete. He can run just as effected.
• 6:06
  He can pick up key yards and they just don't let him do it in
• 6:11
  the regular season. But when the game is on the line, that was
• 6:14
  the difference. He was the difference. And that's where we're sitting there talking
• 6:18
  about them in third Super Bowl in five years. Just tremendous, Just a
• 6:24
  tremendous fourth quarter. I thought it was a well played game, and listen,
• 6:28
  I thought San Francisco made a couple of mistakes and it's but it wasn't
• 6:33
  a bad performance by any stretch. You just you just have to be near
• 6:36
  perfect or you have to have a guy like Patrick Mahomes to win it for
• 6:42
  you. In the end, that was the difference.
