Buried or Breathing? Chiefs’ Playoff Hopes After Thanksgiving Collapse | The Intangibles



Welcome back to The Intangibles on the Arrowhead Addict Podcast — hosted by Price Carter and Christian Ainsworth.

The Chiefs didn’t just lose on Thanksgiving… they put their season on life support. After another frustrating, self-inflicted defeat to the Cowboys, the guys look at whether the 2025 Chiefs can still rally — or whether we’re witnessing the true end of this version of the dynasty.

In this episode:

🔥 Cowboys Loss Breakdown

– George Pickens slants on repeat

– Chiefs secondary leverage issues

– Why the defense keeps breaking its own rules

– Red zone failures & situational football collapse

– Special teams penalties (again)

🔥 Offensive Line Crisis

– Juwan Taylor injury update

– Trey Smith injury update

– Josh Simmons cast/no cast

– Why the tackle alignment made no sense

– Texans’ terrifying DL (Will Anderson Jr., Danielle Hunter, the interior)

🔥 NFL Playoff Odds & Reality Check

– Chiefs’ odds down to the mid-30s

– How the AFC South chaos affects KC

– Why the Colts & Chargers collapses are KC’s best lifelines

– Why losing one more game ends the season

🔥 A Full Chiefs Funeral

Price & Christian each throw symbolic “handfuls of dirt” on the 2025 Chiefs and detail:

– Hubris in roster building

– WR prototype obsession

– Personnel misfires (Hollywood, Fulton, Mitchell, DT room, many more)

– Letting opposing teams dictate scheme

– Over-reliance on Mahomes

– Lack of outside voices

– Stale offensive identity

– Boneheaded situational decisions

– Poor execution

🔥 Is Missing the Playoffs… Good?

– Why sneaking in might enable bad habits

– Why missing might force real change

– The 51/49 debate on Mahomes’ Super Bowl odds this year

🔥 Around the NFL: Why the AFC Is Dog Water

– Parity, QB regression, Shanahan/McVay clones everywhere

– “Noise vs. news” when it comes to playoff matchups

– Why the Chiefs’ floor should be much higher

Plus… Sopranos analogies, comfort shows, Uncle Football Takes, and a reminder that even in chaos, KC still has Mahomes, Reid, Spags, and a chance.
