Chapter 287 Red Flag Flying
In just one week, Bart completed a 180-degree turn, held high the banner of "Levi" and became an unwavering loyal supporter of Levi. His face changed so quickly that None of the other colleagues recognized him.
Bart could feel the crowd of eyes falling on him, and he was shocked, surprised, confused, etc., but he didn't mind--
Not only do I not mind it, but I enjoy it very much and continue to stand in the spotlight.
"The brain," Bart pointed to his head, "this is Levi's greatest weapon."
"This means that Levi's ceiling exceeds that of Charles. He has the ability to change the game and the Kansas City Chiefs may have a chance to go further this season."
Ho, ho ho ho——
No other place is known, but at least the Old Oak Tavern agrees.
They have had enough of a bleak season ending with a hasty exit from the playoffs. Their hopes were ignited time and time again, only to be extinguished again and again. It was like torture.
But this year is different.
Anderson also looked at the TV screen, maybe this season is indeed different.
The hustle and bustle of burden is incredibly heavy on Levi's shoulders, a running back?
This is indeed the first time.
However, Barthes's views are too shocking and there is no shortage of objections.
After all, passing is still king in the current NFL, and the quarterback is the key to changing the game and the team. This is a generally agreed view in the league. Bart has rolled from one extreme to the other. There is no doubt that he Opinions are bound to be opposed by other professionals.
Lawson watched Bart quietly, and immediately saw through Bart's strategy:
From culling to flattering, it's that simple.
In fact, Lawson agrees with Bart's view that Levi is different from Charles. His wisdom may be a key to giving the Kansas City Chiefs more possibilities. Maybe they can indeed go further this season.
But I agree, Bart was pushed to the forefront by Levi after just a few words. There was no emphasis on the growth space of rookie players in the past few weeks. This may also give people unnecessary hope, and the overwhelming pressure may completely crush Li Wei. dimension--
Even if it doesn't, it could disrupt the harmony in the Kansas City Chiefs' locker room.
Lawson believes they should calm down.
Then, a rare scene took place.
"Levi Black" Bart was there singing praises, and "Levi Blow" Lawson was there applying the brakes. The audience who didn't know the cause and effect turned on the TV and thought they were traveling through a parallel universe.
"We should remain objective and take our time game by game."
Lawson said.
"Let's not forget what happened after the 2013 season."
That season, the Kansas City Chiefs started with nine consecutive wins and made great progress, becoming the last undefeated team in the league. However, after returning from the tenth bye week, they completely lost their touch and rhythm.
In the next seven regular season games, the Kansas Chiefs were completely unable to find their way, with only two wins and five losses. They were completely different from the impressive team in front of them.
Not to mention the top seed in the league, it even came close to missing the playoffs. At the last moment, it relied on its competitors to fall behind and barely managed to squeeze into the playoffs on the last train. Who would have thought that the favorite to win the championship in the first nine weeks was actually so close About to be kicked out of the playoffs?
Then, in the first round of the playoffs, they faced the Indianapolis Colts, who had just swept and defeated them in the penultimate week of the regular season, and the two sides fought hard.
The Kansas Chiefs faced an overwhelming reversal from their opponents with an absolute lead of "31:10" in the first half. Andrew Luck scored a 64-yard super long touchdown 75 seconds before the end of the game, and finally "44: 45" completed the buzzer beater and advanced to the next round on the shoulders of the Kansas City Chief.
Tragic, tragic——
This is the 2013 season for the Kansas City Chiefs.
What’s even more sad is that when people look back on the 2013 season, they can remember the peak season of the Denver Broncos offense and the Seattle Seahawks defense that led to the best in history, led by Manning, but no one remembers that they once led the way. The Kansas Chiefs in the first two-thirds of the league's season.
Learn from the past and need to be vigilant. However, Bart disagreed.
"No, it's quite different."
"Of course, the Kansas City Chiefs need to be wary of the lack of success in the second half of the season. The NFL season is a marathon, not a sprint."
"However, we should not lose sight of an important point."
"In the 2013 season, after the Kansas City Chiefs returned from the offseason, they faced the Denver Broncos. The Denver Broncos led by Peyton Manning. That offensive team was qualified to compete for the best in history. The Kansas Chiefs' defense team could not stop Manning. It cannot be considered a failure.”
“In fact, of the five losses in the last seven weeks, two were to the Denver Broncos, two were to the San Diego Chargers, and one was to the Indianapolis Colts, all of them were playoff teams, and all of them were to at least make the playoffs. The teams in the second round.”
"In other words, the Kansas City Chiefs just unfortunately lost in a strong collision."
A week ago, Bart said that this year's victory of the Kansas City Chiefs was not convincing, and that the six consecutive victories were also a "pseudo-strong team."
A week later, Bart said that the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2013 season deserved respect, even if they lost all their encounters with strong playoff teams.
Sure enough, everyone has one mouth, and right and wrong are all based on nonsense.
"It's no secret that the Kansas City Chiefs haven't been tough enough and explosive at critical moments, but this season is different."
"They've got Levi."
"Yes, it's Levi."
"At the critical moment, Levi's toughness and explosiveness breathed life into the Kansas Chiefs, not only seizing the team's center of gravity, but also leading the team to break through."
"In five of the past six games, the Kansas City Chiefs have all been decided in the fourth quarter. Levi led the key offense that changed the rhythm of the game and completed the game-winner today against the Pittsburgh Steelers."
"This is a brand new team."
"We have reason to believe that the Kansas City Chiefs will not make the same mistake again."
Bart looked righteous and awe-inspiring, showing his determination to defend Levi to the death, as if he had blocked all attacks for Levi alone. If he hadn't watched "Within the Alliance" in the previous six weeks, he might have been moved to tears at this time. It is truly a touching friendship between confidants, comparable to Boya Ziqi.
"What's more, the Kansas Chiefs' upcoming schedule is also beneficial to them."
"Let's forget about the playoffs for a moment and focus on the regular season next week, so, Josh, what do you think? Who's going to win?"
Is this... a slap in the face?
Lawson was a bit dumbfounded——
In the seventh week of the regular season, the Kansas Chiefs will face the Oakland Raiders.
In the past two seasons, the Oakland Raiders have been on the rise. They achieved a record of 12 wins and four losses last season. They seized the opportunity when the Denver Broncos fell into a trough after Manning retired and teamed up with the Kansas City Chiefs to dominate the American League West since 2002. Returned to the playoffs for the first time.
However, this season, the Oakland Raiders have encountered some troubles. They currently have two wins and four losses. They are not doing well recently and seem to be in chaos again.
From a rational and objective professional perspective, the Kansas City Chiefs are undoubtedly the favored side. Bart threw Lawson a question with a filled-in answer, waiting for Lawson to echo his opinion.
Lawson smiled and said, "I think the Kansas City Chiefs should be able to continue their winning streak."
Bart: Be good, so good.
