1 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Drive. I'm Dale Lelly here with 2 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: Matt Williamson and his power ranking day. As we always do, 3 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 1: we'll go over Dan hansss power rankings from NFL dot 4 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: Com and uh, you wanna start at the bottom or 5 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,480 Speaker 1: you want to start the bottom, start at the bottom. Okay, 6 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: this is why, folks, when we talk about some of 7 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: these teams are really really bad. Some of these teams 8 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: are just completely they're historically bad. Yeah, I mean it's 9 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: it's and some of them we'll get a little better too, 10 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 1: regardless of the year, regardless of it's bad. There's some 11 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: horrendous teams in the league right now. Number thirty two 12 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: cut dropping down two spots taking over the last spot. 13 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: Is the New York Football Jets really bad? They're just awful. 14 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: We were talking off the air. They've scored they average 15 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: going into halftime with one point on the scoreboard. They 16 00:00:57,840 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: have a field goal through three games in the first 17 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: half of games like and there's they're not equipped to 18 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,000 Speaker 1: come back and win. You know, it's always the case. 19 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: But these young quarterbacks have been to talk of, you know, 20 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: the first couple of weeks, they're all bus they all stink, 21 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: they all have bad lines and are in bad situations. 22 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: That's why they were the second pick in the draft 23 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: and the first pick in the draft and all these things. 24 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: So these young quarterbacks are an interesting conversation. But I 25 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: kind of feel for Zach Wilson. He is not in 26 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: a position to succeed. He had two touchdown passes in 27 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: Week one against the Panthers, they scored four teen points. 28 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 1: That's as good as god. Since then they scored six points. 29 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: Six points. Yeah, they get six against the Patriots, got 30 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,680 Speaker 1: shut out by the Broncos. If the Steelers played the 31 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: Jets right now ten times, the Steelers win all ten 32 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, I mean they're that Jets don't score, 33 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: was won three nothing, they would still win those. They 34 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: would win all ten of them. Yeah. And plus they 35 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: would scheme it up that Wilson wouldn't know what he's seeing. 36 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: It wouldn't even matter interceptions. No, they're horrendous. These next 37 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: five teams are all really, really bad. The Jaguars are nightmare. 38 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: They bump up a spot because Jets are so bad. 39 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: The jags't doing it right. Yeah, I mean they had 40 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: a lead. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't the worst game 41 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: of the year. There was a little bit of progress there. 42 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: They trade their first round pick from last year for 43 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: you know, back back up tight end in the mid 44 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: round pick. You know, we didn't talk about that. The 45 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: one of the Steelers trade for c. J. Henderson, Well, 46 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:32,240 Speaker 1: the Jaguars basically gave him away. Uh, they sent Carolina. 47 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: They sent him to Carolina. C J. Henderson in a 48 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: fifth round pick to the Panthers for tight end Dan 49 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: Arnold in third round selection. Amazing. I mean, that guy 50 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: was a tenth pick in the draft or something, and 51 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: like he was fine as a rookie. And unless there's 52 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: more going on with the person, which is possible, but wow, 53 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 1: there's some of I think I think I've heard that 54 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: there is some of that. Yeah, and he had a 55 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: little bit of reputation come out of Florida too, But 56 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: maybe you want to just get him out of Florida 57 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: in general. Too close to Tallahassee. I don't know Irban Meyer, 58 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: he didn't mix with Irban Meyer. He's gone. They lost 59 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: eighteen straight games and they're not thirty. They've lost eighteen straight. 60 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a pretty that's the fifth longest losing 61 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: streak in NFL history. And this is an urban Meyer problem. 62 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: He's got plenty of his own. Every one of their 63 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: early first round picks isn't with the team anymore. I 64 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: mean all the Ramsey's and all these guys that were 65 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: even the good ones. It's amazing the assets. And Henderson's 66 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: is the latest that they've just burned up, you know, 67 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: like I mean, Blake Portals and some of these guys 68 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: don't work out. But you're picking the top, you know, 69 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: the top of the draft year after year, and they're 70 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: going to again. You have to hit on those picks. 71 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: And if they play the Steelers ten times, they lose. 72 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 1: They lose all ye number thirty, the New York Football Giants. 73 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: I mean, they lost to a team that's not gonna 74 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: be too far ahead of him on the air. In 75 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: one of the least memorable games fourteen, they or four 76 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: team points against that atrocious Falcons defense. Their lines bad too, 77 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: and heard I mean they're just Blake Martinez one of 78 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: the few he's a productive linebacker. Defensive guys that they 79 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: have towards a c L their defense should be better. 80 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: They have skill guys. Jones actually hasn't played terrible. Like 81 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 1: they don't have great excuses for being as bad as 82 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: they are, Like they should be an okay team, I 83 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: mean a below average team, not one of these bottom feeders. 84 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,799 Speaker 1: If they play the Steelers ten times, they be one. Maybe, Yeah, 85 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: they take one of the ones in New York on 86 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: the stake one takes two to the house in one 87 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: game or something and the lesson we saw them play 88 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,160 Speaker 1: the Steelers stake one couldn't get out of the back 89 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: to the um. They've been bad for too long too. 90 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: It's like that's a proud, good organization, but they used to. 91 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: This is why, folks, you don't tank. No, it's hard 92 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: to get back at the Giants of The Giants have 93 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: one Super Bowls, two of them in fact, in the 94 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: last fifteen years. They've been in this tailspin now for 95 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: the last five or six years, and they can't find 96 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: they can't find their way out of it. Nobody ever 97 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: blames like ownership for these things, but they've let things slip. Yeah, 98 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: number twenty nine, they're down four spots. They actually have 99 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: a wink. The Chicago Bears have what a hideous performed. 100 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you have to penalize them, you have to 101 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: be hard on them. Their d isn't terrible. Then they 102 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: got a couple of guys, but you just see that performance. 103 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: I mean the NFL, whenever they factor out passing yards, 104 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: they don't do for quarterbacks. They do it for team 105 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: passing yards. You you take this, if it's a ten 106 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: yard sack, you take ten yards off the passing yards, 107 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: which is better than what they do in college where 108 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: they take it off your rushing yards. Is that makes 109 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: no sense. You dropped out and you tried to pass. 110 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: That's why quarterbacks in college will have like fourteen rushing 111 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: attempts for you know, seven yards or something like that, 112 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: because they the sack yards away from that makes no sense. Anyway. 113 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: Side note anyway, the Bears under those parameters finished that 114 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: game with one passing yard one yeah and fields. He 115 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: was of course he wasn't good, but he had no chance. 116 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: I mean, Jason Peters got whipped every play and they 117 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: didn't just uh man, I think Gates is gonna be 118 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: first fire or not. I was calling him gaze because 119 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: they're both four letter words that are coaches. I don't 120 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: really like. I think he's first one fired. Number one 121 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: and two is the Houston Texans and good for them 122 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: to be there. Yeah, you thought that. We thought they'd 123 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: be last all year long. They're competitive. They have probably 124 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: the least talent of those teams mentioned. You know, it's 125 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 1: Davis Mills now for I don't know they win another game, 126 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: but at least they've been okay, and give that coach 127 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: some credit. I mean, he's getting something out of nothing. 128 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: Launch at number twenty seven, up four spots. This is 129 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: another team that counts. The Detroit Lions. Yeah, they play hard, 130 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: you know, but they're owing three. You know, they're they're 131 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,239 Speaker 1: and they did get robbed with a win. But frankly, 132 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: Lions fans should be happy. That's exactly what you want. 133 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 1: You know, you're playing hard. You maybe even a better 134 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: team against the Ravens, but you're gonna get the good 135 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: draft position. I mean, they have Swift and Hawkinson in 136 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: a line and they play hard. I mean, they're better 137 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: than I thought they'd be. Again, the Steelers will play 138 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: the Bears later in the year. They don't play the 139 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: Texans this year. They do play the Lions as well. 140 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 1: If they play those two teams ten times, they're gonna, 141 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: like I tend to thank Yeah, I mean, unless the Wheels, 142 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: Unless this is the beginning of the end for the Steelers, 143 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 1: both in Pittsburgh. It's going to be ugly. I mean 144 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 1: it's hard. This is a totally different subject. It's hard 145 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: to pick in the top five, extremely hard. You gotta 146 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: really stick in the five. Steeler fans have no idea 147 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 1: what what because there's five teams. This is my season 148 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: covering the Steelers. I've never seen him pick higher than eight, right, right, right, 149 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: I mean that's a lot of years and a lot 150 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: of bad luck. And that was only once. They've had 151 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: one top ten picked the entire time that tire time. Right, 152 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: it's thirty years and a lot of the same teams 153 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 1: always do you know the Browns have gotten out of that, 154 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: But how many years did they dominate that area? Cincinnati 155 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 1: looks like they're they all have like a like a 156 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 1: year or two where they you know, maybe do okay, 157 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: and then they screw it back up and then Allions 158 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: don't even have that year, you know. I mean, like 159 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: there's some bad organizations that are it's hard to be 160 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: worse than how about this one? Oh and three down 161 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: three spots Indianapolis Colts. They're in a bad place. You 162 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: want to talk about a team that's in a bad place, 163 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: They're in a bad place. They've invested in this quarterback, 164 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: and then it's too early to think this way, you know, 165 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 1: Just like we talked about last segment. I mean, the 166 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: season is not shot. But if went stinks and you 167 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: play him of snaps six or seventh pick overall that 168 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: you've earned because you're so bad, Yeah, Philly's going yeah, yeah, 169 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: playing Carson and so at some point, you know, if 170 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: you're if you're the Colts, do you just shut him 171 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: down and say, hey, Carson, you're too hurt? Yeah? I 172 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: mean you can't yet, but you better be aware of that, 173 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: especially if you're picking the top ten and have a 174 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: quarterback need. You can't give away a top ten pick 175 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: just because you don't want to hurt Carson Wentz's feelings, 176 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: you know. And it doesn't get any easier for them, 177 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: you know. Uh, they're gotta go to Miami this week. Now. 178 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: Miami is not in a great spot right now either, 179 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: but they're a lot better than this. But they're playing 180 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: better football than than the Colts. Then they gotta go 181 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: to to Baltimore. Right, we talked about this before. It 182 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: doesn't until weeks six when they play Houston at home. 183 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 1: Too late, Yeah, and right, now, I don't know that 184 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: they're better than Houston. I don't know if they're much better. 185 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: I mean they deserve to be right that they could 186 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 1: lose that game. Houston is playing much better football right now. 187 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 1: Another big problem. So I mean, just to show that 188 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 1: other teams have problems too. I mean, the Cults are 189 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: well built. I like their GM. They've they've built this 190 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 1: thing pretty well. But they're built to run the football 191 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: behind a good offensive line. And where I'm going with 192 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: this is their their defense is built on speed. You 193 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: know they're gonna they play in the Dome. They got 194 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: a lot of smaller guys that can run well. But 195 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 1: when you don't have Nelson and you're not creating first downs, 196 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,400 Speaker 1: that defense is on the field a lot and then 197 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 1: they're just getting smashed. You know, speeds wonderful, but you're 198 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: gonna have the big boys to right, and that's the 199 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: problem for them. Right. Here's their schedule, so it's it's 200 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: it's they just finished at Tennessee at Miami, at Baltimore, 201 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: Houston and home at San Francisco Tennessee at home. They 202 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: didn't play the Jets and Jaguars, and back to back 203 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 1: weeks nine and ten so they probably have like three 204 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: wins at that point. At Buffalo. That's a loss. Tampa 205 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: Bay in week twelve, right, and there's some bad matchup 206 00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: at Houston. Again, they get their bye week, then they 207 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: play the Patriots at the Cardinals, and then they play 208 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: the Raiders and Jaguars to finish off the season. And 209 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: my big takeaway from that is Tennessee just don't screw 210 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: it up. Don't screw it up. I mean, you win 211 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 1: eight games, you're gonna win this division. Screw it up 212 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 1: easily if your Tenants does. That looks like a five 213 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: You want to see people saying that Steelers, Well, the 214 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: Steelers only win five games. That looks like a five 215 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: win team, right. I mean the Colts will beat the 216 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: Steelers right now if they played the best of eleven series. 217 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: I mean more than once is what I'm saying. Yeah, 218 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: I mean it's something like some of these other teams 219 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,959 Speaker 1: we brought up, but they're worse. I don't know that 220 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:36,200 Speaker 1: they win three of them, three of them. I don't know. 221 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: They're in bad shape. Yeah, because the Steelers defense would 222 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: shut them down. And again I think they're well coached, 223 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: they're a good GM. It's just I mean, they're it's 224 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: it's crumbling real quick. The side note, the thing came 225 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: out today was, um, they're gonna trade Marlon Mack. Basically 226 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: both of agree. Well, again, they're at the point when now, 227 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: well we're not going to were with Marlon Mack. We 228 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 1: Mussell try to get something something for him, right, and 229 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: he's not playing and he was healthy scratches past week. 230 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 1: I just don't know what kind of market there be 231 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,719 Speaker 1: from Marlin. I was shocked that they wouldn't like as 232 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: soon as free agency open they would and signed Marlin 233 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 1: mac okay, which makes me feel like yom something African hurt. 234 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 1: I don't know. Five up, four spots the Atlanta Falcons. 235 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: That might be their high point. Though some of these 236 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: bad teams are bad. They are. Their defense is as 237 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: bad as anyone on here. Matt Ryan looks worse than bad. 238 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: They were completely ignoring Kyle Pitts. He used a fourth 239 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,319 Speaker 1: overall pick on him and he gets two targets. Yeah, 240 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: it gets the Giants. It's the Giants, and Blake Martinez 241 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: was out of the game. He's not that he's a 242 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: great tight end stopper, but still, I mean, their win 243 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,080 Speaker 1: was not like, oh, I think we're turning the corner. 244 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: They happen to win at twenty four. So how many 245 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,839 Speaker 1: teams have you mentioned so far? Like seven or eight? Yeah, 246 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: that's seven. I mean, none of those have any case 247 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: to be better than this Heelers. None at twenty four 248 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: down three spots. The Washington football team, it's bad right 249 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 1: now for them too. That defense is maybe the most 250 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: of itself. Yea, the most disappointing. Yeah, even like Chase Young, 251 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 1: he's great, but he's like consistently running past the quarterback 252 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: like they're early Bud Depries, right, Like teams have just 253 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 1: figured out, hey, if we don't let this guy, he's 254 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: not going to counter and come in just for him. 255 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: Outside that right, and obviously there's offensive issues. I think 256 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: they'll be better than this one said and done. To 257 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: be honest, I think they're easily the best team you've mentioned. 258 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: But they're a lot better than the Falcons. They're built 259 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: both for the quarterback. Just just don't screw things up 260 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: and the defense is gonna win it. But if the 261 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 1: defense isn't dominant, and it's not been right now, they're 262 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 1: in trouble. I mean, there's different reasons for it. But 263 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: when the season started, I thought the Steelers, Washington, and 264 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: Tampa would have the best three defenses in the league. 265 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: I don't think Washington can get back to that. I 266 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: think the Steelers can, but it's health related. Tampa's somewhere between. 267 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 1: They've had some injuries as well. At three down, eight spots, 268 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: New England. Yeah, I believe that. I mean kind of 269 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 1: like the Steelers defenses. Their strength. The Patriots strength is 270 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: running the football with a good old line. It wasn't 271 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: there for this week. If you stop the running game, 272 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 1: they got nothing. They got nothing, and then their quarterback 273 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: is struggling. Is very conservative. That's where they belong. Yeah, 274 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 1: I overshot on them, and I'm pretty confident they won't 275 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: be a five hundred team. No, I don't think so. 276 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: I haven't thought so all along. You know, they don't 277 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: ask Mac Jones to take any chances whatsoever. He still 278 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: had three interceptions last week because that's because they had 279 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: to try to come back, and he when he started 280 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: starting to play one, when he started strowing the football 281 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: down the field, He's gonna throw interceptions. I may even 282 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 1: have them a smidge lower at two. I hate to 283 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: say this because I do this every year and usually 284 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, But the a f C South, the a 285 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: f C East, maybe the NFC East. I feel like 286 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: we know who's gonna win division. Yeah, maybe even the 287 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: NFC North. Yeah, I mean like it just seems like 288 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: there's we already know who's gonna win this divisions. I 289 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: don't disagree. I don't disagree at all. Uh. Part of 290 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: that reason for that is because our team at number 291 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: twenty two, went into UH Dallas last ning and get 292 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: blown out. Yeah, they're back to earth the Eagles. Their 293 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: offensive line is once again now they're without both starting 294 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: guards from the season that just came out today. You know, 295 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: they're they're very thin. They're down three starters now on 296 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: the offensive line again. Rookie head coach kind of looks 297 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: like a rookie head coach right now. And running beast 298 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: got two carries last night the game. I saw two 299 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: carry to carry. Yeah, I mean, it wasn't like they 300 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: were getting destroyed the players. Yeah, you're just gonna trust 301 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurst to keep up with Doc. I mean, come on, right, Yeah. 302 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: Third team penalties last night too for eighty six yards 303 00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 1: highly penalized is pretty good. Though. He is absolutely number 304 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: twenty one up a spot. The Miami Dolphins, they'd be 305 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: a hard one for me to rank. I think they 306 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 1: moved up only because the other teams, the teams that 307 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: are below them of crumbling. Yeah, like they're better than 308 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: the Colts. Their lines horrible, They didn't ask. I'm shocked 309 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: looking at joke Jacoby Brissets line last week. They did 310 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: not throw the ball down the field at all. They 311 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,720 Speaker 1: don't trust their line to to block me and you 312 00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: and Jacob. It's becoming that bad. It's it's worse than 313 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: the Steelers, to be honest. Jalen Watt else like depth 314 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 1: of targets, he's he's a he's like a fourth three guy. 315 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: He's gonna bring him up. I think his stat line 316 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: is one of the most telling in the league because 317 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: he got a million targets, ended up with like forty 318 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: yards on twelve targets and twelve targets, he's like the 319 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: fastest guy in the league not named Tyreek Hill. And 320 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: in your on your own one yard line, you throw 321 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: them the ball like two yards into the end zone. 322 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,120 Speaker 1: He immediately gets tackled into safety. You know, like, what 323 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: are we doing here? That's not terrible, right, And I 324 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: don't think two was gonna come in on the white 325 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 1: horse to change any but they can't. They can't block, 326 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 1: they can't block. I mean that's a that's an absolutely 327 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: worse offensive line in the Steelers. I would like to 328 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: have Eichenberg for the long term, and they have some 329 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: younger guys that would be intriguing. But I wouldn't trade 330 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: the Steelers line for theirs. They're bad. It's and it's 331 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: playing worse than the Steelers. Right if they play the 332 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: Steelers ten times, I don't know if they win any 333 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: of them. I think they win three. I don't know. 334 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: I think their defense would I think every game would 335 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: be I don't know if they could win it. I 336 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: don't know if they could do it. I think they 337 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: might get one. And we play ten times, they might 338 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: get one. I'm telling you, I think there're two other 339 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: defense keeps a man. A team that's hat offensively challenged 340 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: is not going to beat is not going to beat 341 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 1: the Steelers. No, but their defense would be the Certainly 342 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: they would gum things up. But I trust the Steelers 343 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: offensively to not turn the ball over against them more 344 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: so than I trust the Dolphins to not do so 345 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: against the Steelers. Just I I'm worried about two. If 346 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: I were them to like this big picture, i'd be concerned. 347 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,239 Speaker 1: At twenty down eight spots is the Steelers, Yeah, that's 348 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 1: where they golong, That's where they belong. There there one 349 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: and two. Um. I mean, I think you can make 350 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: the argument of them versus Dolphins or you know, a 351 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 1: couple of these, maybe one or two of that are 352 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,359 Speaker 1: above them. Is this the low point for them or 353 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: they like? I can't see them being worse than any 354 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: of those teams behind them. This is cheating your question 355 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 1: a little bit. But let's say the Steelers lose by 356 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 1: four keeen in Green Bay and Rogers looks like the 357 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,040 Speaker 1: m v P and two of those teams we've mentioned win, well, 358 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: then they're gonna fall. I don't know. This is how 359 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: power wax work. Whether that matters or not, I don't know. 360 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:40,959 Speaker 1: I don't know if any of these teams behind them 361 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 1: are gonna win this week. That's the like, doesn't Atlanta 362 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 1: played one of them? I mean, the two of them 363 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,680 Speaker 1: play each other, you know what I mean. I haven't 364 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: even looked aheads. I don't know the schedule very well either, 365 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: but it's not I mean, but I think it's gonna 366 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:54,479 Speaker 1: be like New England's not gonna New England's gonna get 367 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: smoked by Tampa, right right, right right? You know? Um now, 368 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 1: But I think Washington plays at Anna and let's say 369 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: they beat them by ten. Miami, Miami plays the Colts. Yeah, okay, 370 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 1: Miami and Washington win and the Steelers get shouldn't matter. 371 00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: It shouldn't matter that this house, and when we do 372 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: this a week from now, they could be lower. But basically, 373 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 1: I think this is the Steelers low water mark at 374 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,719 Speaker 1: nineteen up seven spots. The Bengals, you have to put 375 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: them over Pittsburgh right now. But are think really the 376 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: seventeenth best team in the league? Same argument, Okay, I 377 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 1: mean that's their high water mark. I'm gonna say that 378 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 1: they're not going to get the eighteen at any point 379 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 1: this year. In eighteen is the Saints, fine, it's seventeen. 380 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: Is the Seahawks there? One and two? Is that their 381 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:47,040 Speaker 1: low water mark? They got problems, They got problems. Walking 382 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 1: into Minnesota is a tough chour though Minnesota's one and two, 383 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: They've their only win is against They're so close and 384 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: there there four kicker Mrs one at the end and 385 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: Arizona's count two, I know, I know. At the fifteen 386 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: is the Titans at two and one. Yeah, it's that's there, 387 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: is easily enough to win that division. Yeah. At fourteen 388 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: is the Cowboys at two and one. I think they're 389 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: better than that. I mean, it's a little bit of 390 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:13,959 Speaker 1: recency bias when they whipped a bad team last night, 391 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,640 Speaker 1: but I think they're good. At thirteen is the Carolina Panthers. 392 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: I don't think they're the thirteenth best team in the league. 393 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem putting them there, but I 394 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: bet that's about it high. They're pretty banged up right there. 395 00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: They can only go down. Yeah, their defense is real, 396 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: and I think Donald's better than what he used to be. 397 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 1: At twelve is the unbeaten Broncos. That's fair. They haven't 398 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: beaten anybody, but I mean they went they played everybody 399 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,639 Speaker 1: that's in the four, but their defense is legit. Uh. 400 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: At eleven is the Cardinals actually down a spot? Huh, 401 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,959 Speaker 1: I guess. I mean, I think they could beat anybody, 402 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:50,639 Speaker 1: but they're gonna have a couple of spots this year 403 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: we go home. What happened there? Yeah, exactly. At ten, 404 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: the Chargers at two and one up four spots. Yeah, 405 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: getting a lot of love there for the win in 406 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: Kansas City at nine up two spots, the Raiders Chargers 407 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: verse Raiders a conversation for me, and we'll get to 408 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: see that a couple of times. Yeah, I think they 409 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: play eleven times eight Chargers win more. The Browns haven't 410 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: moved since week one. They stay at eight at two 411 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: and one. I don't know what I mean. I think 412 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,399 Speaker 1: they're a good team, but I think they're better than 413 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: the Ravens. You haven't mentioned yet exactly what I mean. 414 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: I know we'll get to them as being too high, 415 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: but I think the Browns are the best team in 416 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: division at seven two and one. San Francisco didn't move. 417 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: They probably should move, probably should have moved. Yeah, they're 418 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: not full proof either. Their lines aren't as good as 419 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: they have been. At six down four spots is Kansas 420 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 1: City at one and two. That's their low water mark. 421 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: But their defenses for any re just was in the hospital. 422 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,439 Speaker 1: It's not all great. At five down two spots is 423 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: the Ravens. Yeah, that one's that's insane. They should be 424 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: eleven twelve, you know something like that, You know, I 425 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: mean there there two plays. You know, you want to 426 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: talk about the Vikings being two plays away from Bings, 427 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 1: the Ravens are two plays away from being oh and 428 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: three without question, without question. Yeah. I mean some organizations, 429 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 1: including the Steelers, probably get more respect than these things 430 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: than they should. You know, the Steelers are like six 431 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: after they beat the Bills, and we both said, I 432 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: don't think they're the sixth best team league or whatever. 433 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: You know, but the Ravens have issues. And again I 434 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 1: think the Browns are better than that. At four up 435 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: a spot is Buffalo, Okay, I would have them ahead 436 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: of this is my This is my problem with this 437 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 1: is that Okay, so Buffalo is the fourth best team. 438 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 1: The Steelers went in the Buffalo beat the fourth best 439 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: team in the league, and yet somehow beating Kansas City 440 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: is a bigger deal. I don't know. I know, Steelers 441 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: Bills in Buffalo, though, is a seven point spreadout of doubt. 442 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,200 Speaker 1: Like again, if they played some bad matchup for Buffalo 443 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 1: they play at ten times, the Steelers might win two 444 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: of them, you know, just because of the defense, and 445 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: part of it's just styles too. I think that there, 446 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: I don't think the Bills want to play a Steeler no, 447 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: you know, I agree. I agree at three up, three 448 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,879 Speaker 1: spots is the Packers. I'm fine with that. But I 449 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: think Buffalo is a better team in the green bag 450 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: a uh, two down A spot is Tampa Bay. I'm 451 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: fine with that. I might have bumped them a little 452 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: bit more than Buffalo verse Tampa. To me, he's a conversation. 453 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: Bills defense is a lot better and just lose they 454 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: were they weren't in the game. They really weren't, which 455 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: brings us to the Rams. I think the Rams are 456 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 1: an easy number one right now. I'm not predicting they're 457 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: gonna win the whole thing or anything, but they're the 458 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: best team right to predict them to go to the 459 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: super Bowl Buffalo, So I'm not feeling bad about that 460 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: right now. We were talking about on the podcast today, 461 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: and I'm not a betting expert, but if you put 462 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 1: a bet down right now that the Super Bowl is 463 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: gonna be Rams versus Bills, I bet it pays off 464 00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: pretty well. And I could really see that path happening, 465 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Tampa in Kansas City or 466 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: Kansas City having two losses. Now, I still think Kansas 467 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 1: Cy is gonna win the West, but that lot, like 468 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: that second loss kind of the gates. But the Bills 469 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: lost to the Steelers. Like, okay, now, who's got the 470 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: inside track to be the number one seed because they're 471 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: gonna play Kansas lost to Baltimore and so they have 472 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: to have conferences and the division loss. Yeah, so I 473 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: went to double check for the one seed and like 474 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 1: you know, now that they still have to go to 475 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: the they still have to go to l A to 476 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: play the Chargers, They still got to play the Raiders. 477 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 1: They still gotta play Denver. I mean, these tough games 478 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: for them. They're gonna they lost a division game in 479 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 1: their own building. They're gonna stop their toe here and there. 480 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the defense is a problem. It's a real problem. Yeah, 481 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 1: they're good. I mean I think we threw this out yesterday. 482 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: If you could have either the Chiefs or the other 483 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: three teams in that division to win the division, still 484 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: take the Chiefs. Still take the Chiefs. But it's close 485 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: to much closer than it was. Yeah, I mean it's 486 00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: or you know, if I got good enough odds, I 487 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,239 Speaker 1: would fall off that in heartbeat, Yeah for sure.
