He was exactly right. Scoring before the two minute warning was about their only chance. Why not take the FG first so it atleast gives you the opportunity to try and score the second score?

You get the onside kick you only need 15s to get into fg range, you need at least 1 min to get a TD

That might be the dumbest take I've ever heard.

I know right?  Let’s just play it out for fun.  

FG is made on 1st down KC is now down 7

Roughly 2:15 left - Onside kick attempt (most likely fails)

1st down play starts around 2:10 timeout called afterward

2nd down play ran and 2 minute warning stops the clock

2:00 - 3rd down play ran

Now if KC stops them (huge fucking question) Seattle punts at around 1:15 and KC has 1:10ish left to try and score a td.  

It’s about maximizing your chance to win, they completely put it on successfully executing an onside kick with no safety net.  It was the wrong call and it really isn’t debatable.

KC had a first down at the Seattle 31 with 2:21. The 1st down pass to the RB who ran to the middle of the field pretty much ended the game for them. The clock ran down to the 2 minute warning. They absolutely had to score 3 or 7 with enough time left that they could use the 2 minute warning as a second timeout. They could have thrown to the end zone on first down and if they missed that they kick the FG on 2nd down. That probably was the thing to do instead of kicking the FG on first down.
