K9's "Flu Game", Is Mahomes Really That Good?

All Day

The podcast opens with the hosts discussing the Seahawks' recent victory and taking questions from listeners. They mention their sponsor, Epic Seats, a platform for buying and selling tickets. They then highlight upcoming Seattle games: Kraken vs. Avalanche, Seahawks vs. Bills, and Modest Mouse performing.

A listener asks if the Seahawks' strong defensive performance is due to the return of the defensive line and the absence of Alton Stone. The hosts discuss these factors and admit they may have jinxed Stone by not praising him in the preview episode. They then move on to another question about Geno Smith's performance, specifically comparing his stats to Micheal Jordan "Flu Game" performance.

The hosts acknowledge that Mahomes' stats were worse than Smith's but emphasize the importance of context. They point out that Mahomes' team has a strong defense and receiving corps, which helps mask his shortcomings. They discuss the concept of "windows" in the NFL, where a team has all the right elements to succeed for a limited time. The episode concludes with them discussing the challenges of maintaining a high level of play throughout the season.
