It seems so far away, the time when Patrick Mahomes fantasized about his Chiefs having a perfect season. However, it was just before the start of the campaign and since then it has been the stampede. It is high time to ask whether this fall can be slowed down and, above all, how to explain the poor performance of the team that many still saw everything take over. The paying zone sheds light on the issue in its most recent episode.

As every week, the hot files jostle on the work board of The paying zone, but it’s hard to ignore the Chiefs’ worrying case. A defeat happens. Two, it’s surprising, but it is replaced. Three is still playable … But four defeats in seven games to start the season is a very precarious position.
Is it time to blame Mahomes, pretty much untouchable so far in his career? Are the problems around him deeper? Our analysts are trying to unravel the mystery by suggesting leads.

Elsewhere in the NFL, Tom Brady got a stir this week and, for a rare time, it’s not because of his flawless play. A guest of the Manning brothers during Monday night’s game, he suggested defensive players don’t have to worry too much about attacking players. Simple joke or poisoned point? We come back to this statement.
The trade deadline – November 2 – is fast approaching and The paying zone takes a look at some important names that might change their address. It will be necessary to see if the persistent rumors surrounding Deshaun Watson announce a real bomb … or a wet firecracker.
As usual, you will have all the tools in hand to comment as our analysts on the matches to come in week 8, as well as a column “At the bar” dealing with a ball and a celebration. Good listening!
