I will say the deck is stacked against him and the teams response is out of his control. In the sense of they could come out flat vs KC and it will be held against McD not the players as far as media. The narrative will be much more amplified because of this national story. I think it was a mistake owning up to the 9/11 story because it gives the article credibility. But also he couldn't deny it because of the inter-office joke esque nature of what that speech has become in the locker room. There is a lot of behind the scenes dynamics that are playing in the background of this story. I hope the team can find strength through this
Allen is not the coach, gut feeling would be win Chiefs, Cowboys then lost in bizarre fashion either the Patriots or Chargers game. The first comment regarding consistency is really it.
The league is heavily influenced. You can blindfold refs and reach the same result. The highest paid refs are on TV, there's no initiative to clean up what we see week to week
