You're going to. Hey everybody welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here.

And it is a Monday morning, Murf on a Tuesday because yesterday was Christmas.

So Murf has like a family and wanted to have Christmas to himself. I don't understand that at all Murf because I spent the entire day letting my body just sink into the couch and watched a lot of football but we have a lot to talk

about there is a report that the Vikings are considering going to Jaren Hall so

later today Kevin O'Connell's going to talk. We'll get into all of that. But I did want to start with a question for you about yesterday's game with the Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs.

So the Raiders annihilated the Kansas City Chiefs offense.

Patrick Mahomes was running for his life the entire day.

They come away with a win in which their quarterback through for 62 yards.

Does it change the way you feel about Josh Dobbs at all that the Raiders were able to do that?

Like their defense has taken this huge step since Josh

McDaniels got fired. Yeah I mean Antonio Pierce has really got that defense

cooking but I I would hesitate to to say that there's still hope for Josh Dobbs.

I think Mahomes has shown himself to really not,

I think that, I think the pace and the amount of games and the amount of heavy lifting games that the chiefs have played over the years is really starting to take its toll. I think you're seeing a little bit of the roster flaying, you're seeing the injuries catch up, which is want to do with the championship club that's been able to play as strong as they have.

I just, it feels like Mahomes is almost struggling, you know, it

feels like he is grasping and it's he's finding it more difficult to kind of bail himself out of trouble and bail the chiefs out of trouble on some of those third down plays, those fourth down plays that they would sustain drives and he would pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat at least once or twice on a drive per game.

That's not happening anymore and then yeah, the Raiders defense I mean you know, you know, we can make fun of what, you know, what they did against the Vikings a couple of weeks ago, but that, I mean, they, since, since McDaniels has been fired, that has been pierced his signature on that team and they're playing with

purpose and I just feel like it's it's almost as if the tipping point there

has been I think more where the chiefs have been struggling

and where Mahomes especially he looks tired I think they even brought it up on the

broadcast I mean he just looks physically worn down.

And that's going to happen when you're playing, you know, high pressure, high quality football games for five straight years as they have been.
