Yeah, we 17 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 4: had to sign some crazy NBA, so your left leg 18 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 4: is gone. 19 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 3: If you distribute this to anyone, and it's great. 20 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,120 Speaker 1: That's how much we love the NFL Daily listeners, as 21 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: we wanted it to get in their ears as soon 22 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: as possible. Patrick said about this day earlier that he 23 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: lives for this. This is it, this is X lives. Yeah, 24 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: that I will not use here out of respect. To 25 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: Eric and everybody back there, this is a It is fun. 26 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 5: If this is a show that's just for us, because 27 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 5: like you said, nobody can watch this. This is where 28 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 5: some there's the naysayers out there, but I am. I 29 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 5: am a fan of the schedule. Lease, I believe that 30 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 5: this isn't a tent pole event. To me, it's a flagpole. 31 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 2: I love it. 32 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: So everyone has different processes with which they look at 33 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: the schedule when they get it. For me, I immediately go 34 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: to the holidays. So let's just start there. Let's go 35 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: to Thanksgiving because to me, that's the most important football 36 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: day on the calendar. Maybe with the exception of the 37 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, Conference Championship Day, I don't really know. I 38 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: would go Thanksgiving, and it's a great one. This year, 39 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: we're gonna start in Detroit as always, they actually move 40 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,559 Speaker 1: the time to one pm. It's not twelve thirty pm. 41 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: That's like a big deal in Eastern Yeah, they're gonna 42 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: have to just wait a little longer. But we got 43 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: Bangers on Thanksgiving. We have Packers, Lions in the early window. 44 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: We have Chiefs Cowboys in the CBS window, which is 45 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 1: a change. I feel like lately they've been giving the 46 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys sometimes it's not like the sexiest team ever, because 47 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: that's the most watched game of the year, no matter 48 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: who they put in that spot, and they put the 49 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: Chiefs in that spot. So we're getting the Chiefs on Christmas, 50 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: We're getting the Chiefs the day after kickoff, We're getting 51 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: the Chiefs everywhere, but we're getting them on Thanksgiving. And 52 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: then it wraps up with your Baltimore Ravens feel like 53 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: they've been on Thanksgiving Night a handful of times hosting 54 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. That is our Thanksgiving schedule, our Christmas schedule, 55 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: and it's a tripleheader this year because it's on a Thursday, 56 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 1: so you get an Amazon Prime game in addition to 57 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: two Netflix games. Is Cowboys, Commanders, Early Lions Vikings at 58 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 1: four point thirty, and then Broncos and Chiefs. In terms 59 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: of the primetime game, let's just start there with your 60 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Christmas. 61 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 2: Any thoughts that you have here. 62 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 4: I mean, I think like the power of the Chiefs 63 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 4: is so interesting because not only do they become the 64 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 4: like the you have to they do, they test them 65 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 4: out on like the the NBC Plus, like Peacock stuff 66 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 4: like that, right, like that, so you know the Chiefs 67 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 4: are going to rate. We just know that, right, But 68 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 4: I think those are great games. I don't mind the 69 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 4: leader start. I'm on the West coast, so it's totally 70 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 4: fine by me. But you know, for the for terms 71 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 4: of the Lions, it's only half an hour. I mean, 72 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 4: it's not a huge deal, I understand. But like you know, 73 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 4: in Detroit, that's like a thing. 74 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 6: Man. 75 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 4: You know, we've got parades, we got we time our 76 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 4: turkey the specific way, so it's ready at halftime, the 77 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 4: whole thing. 78 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: Famous last words. But that's the best Thanksgiving slay I 79 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: can ever remember. 80 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 5: You could all three of those games, Green Bay, Detroit, 81 00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 5: Kansas City, Dallas, since Ultimore. 82 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 6: They could all anchor the holiday. That's right. 83 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 5: They have to split time with each other, and they're 84 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 5: going to be sequential and people are gonna have to 85 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 5: make some choices because normally there's that game where I 86 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 5: can step away, yeah, monitor things, go outside and base 87 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 5: the turkey turkey and the smoker here. No, this you 88 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 5: got to be locked in, and you should be because 89 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 5: these are all great. 90 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's a it's a quarterback league, and so 91 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: I don't mind Dallas. Like in the kickoff game. We 92 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: already went through some of the early games that had 93 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: gone out on our last NFL Daily, went through the 94 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: international game, went through the kickoff game. But I love 95 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: that they're doing big time division rivalries there in Week one. 96 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: And then of course on Thanksgiving Bengals, you know, Joe Burrow, 97 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. That has been one of the reliable, like 98 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: best games in the NFL every time they play, basically, 99 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: and then the Chiefs have decided they want Christmas to 100 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 1: be their thing and they are going to be the 101 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: Christmas team every year. This time the Broncos get, you know, 102 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 1: a tough, tough ass to go on a short week 103 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: and go to Kansas City. 104 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 4: I seem to remember a Raiders team that beat the 105 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 4: Chiefs on Christmas right before the Chiefs went on their 106 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 4: run to win Super Bowl. So it's not like they're 107 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 4: infallible on Christmas. 108 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: Okay. 109 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 5: I do think the holiday dynamic for both the Lions 110 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 5: and the Cowboys and the Chiefs. Yeah, and the Chiefs 111 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 5: where it's just like, Okay, you guys are the official 112 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 5: holiday representative. 113 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 3: YEP. 114 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's yeah from here on out, 115 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: but this year, the fact that the Lions and the 116 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 1: Cowboys are also on Thanksgiving Christmas. I mean, you do see, 117 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 1: and it's it's not a surprise. Certain teams are established 118 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: as truly national teams, and it's it's some of it's 119 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: about the audience, like like Cowboys, and some of it 120 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: it's about just how good you are. 121 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: And that's your Lions. 122 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 1: How weird is it that your Lions are like a 123 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: truly national team. 124 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,279 Speaker 3: I hate their schedule. Why it's awful. It's so hard. 125 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 3: It is insanely hardy. 126 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 4: And I mean, I guess like the only redeeming thing 127 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 4: is and you could kind of take this both ways, 128 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 4: right with two new coordinators, maybe goes the other way, 129 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 4: but perhaps you can say, hey, at least they won't 130 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 4: be seventeen deep on the injury report by the time 131 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,919 Speaker 4: they get to the hard teams because they start with 132 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 4: the hard teams. 133 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 3: Right they start, so Jack Green Bay Week one. 134 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: Let's talk about week one because that's the other part 135 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: of the schedule. I immediately go to right off the bat, 136 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: you get Lions and Packers Week one. 137 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, that is, by the way, just to round out 138 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 3: the Lions. 139 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 4: When its goes Packers home against the Bears, then it 140 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 4: goes Ravens home against the Browns, but then it goes Bengals, Chiefs, Bucks. 141 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: I mean it's just not I mean not great. That's 142 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: true of the entire NFC North. 143 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: I just feel like we start off with the main ones. 144 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 1: Because the NFC North has to play each other, I 145 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:55,920 Speaker 1: think it ultimately has the toughest schedule of any division 146 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: out of division. They also play the AFC North, which 147 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: has of course, you know, three of the best quarterbacks 148 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 1: in the league in Lamar and Joe Burrow. And then 149 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: you got to deal with the Steelers I guess not one. 150 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 4: But I also don't like the back to backs of like, 151 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 4: like the back to backs are where I hate it, Like, 152 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 4: you know, Joe Burrow, then you got Patrick Mahomes, and 153 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 4: then you got the Bucks, who, like you know, they've 154 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 4: had this thing with right, and then you go back 155 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 4: to back Commanders and Eaglesh not fun. 156 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, there's all these rematches, and then there's the dichotomy 157 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 5: of like you play in the Thanksgiving game because you're Detroit, right, 158 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 5: You're playing the Christmas game because you're good, right. So 159 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,280 Speaker 5: it's the combination of all these things. I would like 160 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 5: the schedule. 161 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 4: I would like to put it out right now there 162 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 4: for all the Lions brass who are listening. If you'd 163 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 4: like me to come to the game here in Los 164 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 4: Angeles on December fourteenth, I'd be happy to come, you know, 165 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,360 Speaker 4: I'd be happy to be. 166 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 3: A guest of the Lions. 167 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: Rory. 168 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: I love the mascot, you know, love it. 169 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 1: That is where the Lions schedule gets particularly hard, like 170 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 1: that Rams game for instance. Yeah, that's when the rest 171 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: of the division, you know, doesn't have to play. 172 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 2: That's a first place game. 173 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's not great. 174 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: And they're living in primetime, so five primetime games plus 175 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: the two holiday games, so they're maxing out there. But 176 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: like I said, I immediately go to look at week 177 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: one because yep, right now, we are all just crepping 178 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: for week one, so we knew what the kickoff game 179 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: was Cowboys Eagles. The Friday night game was what everyone 180 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: thought it was going to be, which is Chiefs Chargers. 181 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 2: So another big spot for the Chiefs. 182 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: Although I do think it's an edge to get one 183 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: of those those early games. 184 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,000 Speaker 2: You get to start training camps. 185 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: A couple days earlier, right if you're on the kickoff 186 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 1: or the Friday game, and then you also get just 187 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: a little extra rest into Week two when everyone is tired. 188 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: I think that's a nice edge other Week one games. 189 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: There's eight division games in Week one, which is weird. 190 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: They really loaded up division games. You have Gino Smith's 191 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 1: debut with the Raiders at the New England Patriots, and 192 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: Drake May that is the game I'm watching in the 193 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:55,200 Speaker 1: early window. You have a potential Aaron Rodgers at the 194 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: New York Jets in the early window if he does 195 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: join the Steelers, Dolphins, Cult, Cardinals, Saints. Kind of a 196 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: nice start to the season for either Tyler Shuck or 197 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:07,880 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. 198 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 2: Cardinals got to be thinking like we're really happy. 199 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:15,119 Speaker 1: And then you got Giants, Washington, Carolina, Jacksonville, Cincinnati, Cleveland, 200 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Atlanta, and then like some hot late afternoon games, 201 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 1: Detroit at Green Bay and then Houston at the Rams 202 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: is a CBS game. 203 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 3: That's a sick game, which I'm going to try to. 204 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: Get my family too, because my son is a Texans fan, 205 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: my daughter is a Rams fan, and this is like 206 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 1: once every eight years. In theory, the Texans are coming 207 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: out there and that's not even going to be the 208 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: national game because. 209 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 3: We hit your kids against each other starting the football teams. 210 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 2: Not my fault. That's not even the national game because 211 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 2: you have Lions Green Bay. That's insane. 212 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: And then Sunday Night Football Week one, it's Ravens and 213 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: Bill's Josh Allen Lamar Jackson. 214 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 3: That's the game right there? 215 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 4: Can you imagine, like that's that's so interesting because you 216 00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 4: kind of have the two sides like we we you know, 217 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 4: the the defense is where the Bill spent five draft 218 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 4: picks and they readd that defense. Good luck, congratulations you 219 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 4: get Lamar Jackson first, What do you enjoy that? 220 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 2: What do you think about that? Patrick? 221 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 1: As a Ravens enthusiast, and this has happened to them 222 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 1: a couple times recently where you have such a massive 223 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: game on the schedule, like right off the bat. 224 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 6: Well, considering the way things started last season and the 225 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 6: things that had to transpire to get towards the end, 226 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 6: it's all cumulative, right, and so it's all going to 227 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 6: come out in the wash, and they're all important, every 228 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 6: single one of them. 229 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: But no, but you're not really as long you're going 230 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 2: to be in the first one. 231 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, as long as well, like Cynthia said, there's more 232 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 5: changes on that side, there are the Bills have had 233 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 5: to do a little more shuffling around. It is at home, 234 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 5: Mark Angels will have a chance to catch a ball 235 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,840 Speaker 5: potentially in the end zone, and maybe people will stop 236 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 5: giving him grief about the most worst moment of his career. 237 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 3: And had you forgotten that it is in Buffalo? 238 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: Just to clarify that Ravens Bills game Week one, Yeah, 239 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: just looking at the raven quickly, you know they get 240 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: the Browns week two at home. But otherwise their first 241 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 1: six games before the bye is crazy. They're just really 242 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: important games for them at Buffalo home for Cleveland. Then 243 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: you have a Monday night game against the Lions, which 244 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: is like one of the best batchups of the year. 245 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: You have Week four at the Chiefs, which is in 246 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: theory one of the big biggest games of the year 247 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: for them, and then you're back home for the Texans 248 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 1: and Rams, two teams that are going to be favored 249 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: to go to the playoffs. 250 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 2: Like that is a wild starting. 251 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: I don't like that when you load up like the 252 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: what looks like the most important games early in the season, 253 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: we're really going to go with Mahomes versus Lamar and 254 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: Alan Lamar, Like weeks one and four and get that 255 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: Lions game out of the way. 256 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 2: I don't like that, but I want to save it. 257 00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 4: I get I get that, But it's actually, if you 258 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 4: think about it, for the way the Ravens play, it 259 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 4: feels like you're setting the Ravens. 260 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 3: Up for a really nice finish because that. 261 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: Sure gets easier, but their defense always stinks at the 262 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: beginning of the year. 263 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,359 Speaker 3: Well, I mean nope. 264 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit too about that Monday night game. 265 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:06,719 Speaker 2: That's Week one. 266 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: It's Minnesota at Chicago, and I wanted to just point 267 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,600 Speaker 1: out that the Vikings are the new America's team. 268 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 3: If you are they Okay, give me your logic. 269 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 2: Here comes here it comes, He's don the mouth. 270 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:27,839 Speaker 1: Four of their first five games are in national windows. 271 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: Five of their first seven games are in national windows, 272 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 1: not just like standalone windows. So we're talking Monday night 273 00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: at the Bears to open the season. We're talking Sunday 274 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: night football, the biggest spot in the sport. Week two, 275 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: that's against the Falcons. You have the two international games 276 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: back to back. We knew about Steelers and Browns in 277 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: Dublin and Tottenham, and then you have a Thursday night 278 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: Chargers game in Week eight, which is their seventh game, 279 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: they have a bye. The other two games that are 280 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: not in standalone windows in their opening stretch are home 281 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: for the Bengals big spot Joe Burrow, and then home 282 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: for the Eagles, the defending champions. Every single one of 283 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,959 Speaker 1: those games is going to have the top broadcast crew, 284 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: like it's a standalone game or it's the best you know, 285 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,720 Speaker 1: non standalone games of that week. So I'm just saying, 286 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: expect the vikings, good bad or whatever to be just 287 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: like a huge part of our lives in September and October. 288 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not being a hater. Yeah, but like 289 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 4: here's here's the well. First of all, there was two 290 00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,319 Speaker 4: games that they're international that by default isn't in America. 291 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: So just curious about that. 292 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 4: And number two and number two maybe that means that 293 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 4: they're worried. 294 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 3: That like maybe like J. J. 295 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 4: McCarthy gets off this start and then we don't have 296 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 4: to have to worry about them late in the season. 297 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: I should count no reading because the next two games 298 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 1: after where I cut it off is at Detroit and 299 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: home for Baltimore. 300 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 4: I just like they're not putting those in the nationalsmall 301 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 4: you know what I'm saying, Maybe they're worried they're not 302 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:54,319 Speaker 4: gonna be good. 303 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: I did go through and well, we're just gonna spitball 304 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 1: and look for teams that you know, didn't have too 305 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: much national windows. The Jacksonville Jaguars, they do get one 306 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: primetime game, it's the Chiefs on a on a Monday night, 307 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: and then they get their international game. The Panthers they 308 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: got one primetime game. I don't know why I am 309 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,200 Speaker 1: focusing on the negative here, but I am curious about 310 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: that sort of stuff. The Cleveland Browns their only solo 311 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,760 Speaker 1: window is their international game, so they don't technically have 312 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,320 Speaker 1: any primetime games. The Panthers did get one. I was 313 00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: surprised to see the New England Patriots got a primetime 314 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: game in every primetime window. One on Thursday night, one 315 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: on Sunday night, one on Monday night. Good this year 316 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 1: and including like a week. 317 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 3: You're going. 318 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 4: To be they'll be the second best team in that division. 319 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 4: Bills Pats, Bills Pats. And I'm not even need to 320 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 4: go the next two because I don't know. 321 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 3: I actually could flip flop on the Jets, Dolphins or Dolphins. 322 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. 323 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 3: You could go either way, but it goes Bills Pats. 324 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: I think it goes Bill, and then the other three 325 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: teams are about the same if you're being generous to 326 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots. 327 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 6: No, Greg's saying, Matt, I think Greg agrees with you. 328 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 3: He just does agree with me. 329 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 1: I really don't. I really don't. I've been saying all 330 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: off season. I like what the Jets have done. The 331 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: Dolphins ultimately have more proven, good NFL players than the Patriots, 332 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: and they've won a decent amount. 333 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 4: When you left tackle retires, you're going to have an issue. 334 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 4: I don't care like they It's hard man. 335 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 2: Okay the Saints are you okay? 336 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 6: Yeah? 337 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 2: Gott Oh no, No. 338 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: That's why you got to check us out on YouTube 339 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: to see Patrick in a lot of pain. Do we 340 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: need to I need to take a break. No, we're good, 341 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: but sure, but you're truly playing with pain. You mentioned 342 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. 343 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 5: Yes, And I would like to tell you something that 344 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 5: you brought to my attention a while ago about a 345 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 5: man named Vic Fangio. Oh wow, it's all connected. Let's 346 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 5: go back to nineteen ninety seven, Grant. The Chiefs have 347 00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 5: just extended their head coach Marty Schottenheimer. But down in 348 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 5: San Diego there was a departure. Bobby Ross was no 349 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 5: longer the head coach. A couple of coordinators interviewed for 350 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 5: that job, JAG's DC Kevin Gilbride, who ultimately became the 351 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 5: head coach of the Chargers, and Carolina DC Vic Fangio. 352 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 5: It's all connected. Ten years later, Marty Schottenheimer was in 353 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 5: a power struggle with AJ Smith and lost. Dean Spanos 354 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 5: said that there was dysfunction in the organization because AJ 355 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,600 Speaker 5: Smith wanted Ted Kotchell to replace Wade Phillips. 356 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 6: But you know who Marty wanted to interview? 357 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 2: Who? 358 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 3: Vic pick Fan FANGIOO. 359 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 5: In Week one of the twenty twenty five NFL season, 360 00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 5: it is Vic Fangio against Marty Schottenheimer's son. 361 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 3: Oh, let's go. 362 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 6: It's all connected, are you okay? 363 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,040 Speaker 3: I'm very worried about your back here. 364 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 4: Except for the whole like, I was very fearful that 365 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 4: at any moment you were going down. 366 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 2: I love the revenge. 367 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: I love that it all comes back to Fangio and 368 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 1: the Schottenheimer It's true with these these family names, the Kubiaks, like, 369 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 1: there are so many different connections of coaching staffs and 370 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 1: the Shanahan's. 371 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 2: Man if if you want to. 372 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 4: See like nepotism is like rampant in the NFL, it exists. 373 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,239 Speaker 1: If you want to try, uh even just like a 374 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: little bit harder, Let's go Philadelphia Eagles. 375 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 4: I was. 376 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: Speaking of revenge like that. Those Rogers games are great, 377 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,479 Speaker 1: assuming Rogers does play for the Steelers, which I am 378 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: assuming at this point. That's that's a great week one 379 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: that they put him in New York, that was intentional. 380 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: And then there's a Week eight in against the Packers. Uh, 381 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: and obviously Rogers versus Packers, they put that in Sunday 382 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 1: Night Football. I believe that that Mike North, who makes 383 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: the schedule, said it. You know, it's not all about 384 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: just Rogers, you know, versus his old team. You know, 385 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: if the Steelers and the Packers are playing, those are 386 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: two great franchises. We would put that in Sunday Night Football. 387 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 1: But you know it wouldn't be a bad thing. I 388 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: think they knew making this schedule, not what Rogers was 389 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: going to do, but that if he does play for 390 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: the Steelers, and the Roonies are literally on record saying 391 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: they expect that to happen. And I'm sure they've said 392 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: that privately as well, that that's a great Sunday night 393 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: game in Week eight. 394 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 6: It doesn't hurt the attention. 395 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 5: But also that especially with the with regards to the 396 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 5: Packers and the Steelers, like that game was going to 397 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 5: be people were going to pay. 398 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 6: Attention to that one eventually, no matter what. 399 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 5: In the event that we do get in twelve days 400 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 5: an announcement that Aaron Rodgers has made a decision about 401 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,480 Speaker 5: playing football, then we have to wait until fifteen days 402 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 5: after that he's going to be announcing that he's playing 403 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 5: with the Steelers. 404 00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 4: We can when's the day where all the things are done, 405 00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 4: like all the camps, you know what I mean. 406 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 3: Like, I just don't think he wants to participate in 407 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 3: anything until I buy it, Like I just don't. 408 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 4: Like he was in Egypt last year and he took 409 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 4: a lot of flak for I think he's like I've 410 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 4: been doing this for like more than half my life. 411 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 4: I don't owe you guys whatever, Like I'll come when 412 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 4: I'm ready to come, Like I just whatever day, do 413 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 4: the math backwards to figure out whatever day that is. 414 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 3: That's when we'll hear. 415 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go through the primetime schedules a little bit 416 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 1: like the Thursday night, Yeah, Sunday night, Monday Night. I 417 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: mentioned some of the things that stuck out to me 418 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: in terms of standalone games. The Saints, who are another 419 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:33,119 Speaker 1: team that had zero standalone games. Not a surprising in 420 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:33,959 Speaker 1: terms of where they're at. 421 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:34,439 Speaker 2: What you know. 422 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: Another thing, one thing in that division that took out 423 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: Atlanta Falcons in Sunday night football, the biggest spotlight in 424 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: the sport twice in the first seven weeks of the season. 425 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: So Atlanta Falcons fans, so I feel like, probably feel 426 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 1: like they have been ignored sometimes over the years. 427 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 2: That's a nice spot for them. 428 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 1: And they have another early Monday night game against the 429 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Anything stand out to you, Patrick in terms 430 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: of the Thursday, the Sunday, the Monday. 431 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 5: Night, generally Thursday night. I'm going through and looking at 432 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 5: these weeks, I would take the Thursday night game over 433 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 5: the Monday night game. Of that of all of these 434 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 5: weeks almost eighty five percent of the time. 435 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 2: Okay, So you're going you're just saying better. 436 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 5: Than theF schedule, Like if we go to if we 437 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 5: go to week week two, you get Washington versus Green 438 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 5: Bay on TNF and then on Monday Night Tampa Bay, Houston. 439 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 6: Kansas City. 440 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 3: That one's kind of equal to me. 441 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, Chargers at Vegas would be the Monday night game 442 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,880 Speaker 5: that week. We get the of course, always fun revenge 443 00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 5: in Division Thursday Night game Week five, San Francisco at 444 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 5: the Rams, and then Monday night is Kansas City at Jacksonville. 445 00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,720 Speaker 1: It does feel a little more evenly distributed. Even Sunday 446 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: Night Football doesn't seem like it's miles better. On paper. 447 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: They have some really big spotlight games, but there's a 448 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: couple of weeks where like it looks more like a 449 00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: T and F Monday Night football game. I think they're 450 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: trying to spread out. One thing that was interesting though, 451 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: there's four Monday night doubleheaders this year, So if that 452 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: that's more than than ever. 453 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 5: As a shield robot, obviously I celebrate all events of 454 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 5: the National Football League. I would like these standalone games 455 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 5: to literally stand alone. It defeats the whole purpose of 456 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 5: having Monday Night football. If you're having to flip the 457 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 5: channel and you know, divert your attention from one to 458 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 5: the next, it's just it's not good. 459 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: All right, let's take a quick break. 460 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: We'll wrap up figuring out the entire schedule right after this. 461 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 2: Back on NFL Daily. Yeah, your Lion's all over prime time. 462 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: You know, it stands out to me a nice little 463 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: Cowboys Lions late in the season on Thursday night just everywhere. 464 00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 4: Great, that's one of their easier games, I mean, compared 465 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 4: to the rest of that stupid schedule. 466 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 6: Stupid. 467 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,560 Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about like if there's trends in terms 468 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,640 Speaker 1: of general schedule thoughts. I did a very rough thing 469 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: where I tried to pick which divisions I thought had 470 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: the easiest schedule, and it's obviously the NFC West. Yes, 471 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: they play, they play each other, and it is a 472 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 1: very tough division. Arguably the second or third best division 473 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: in all of football. I think NFC West like it's 474 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: it's balanced, but out of division they play the AFC 475 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: South and the NFC South. I know, you run a 476 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: lot of numbers in terms of totals and everything. Did 477 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: you have that effect and help the NFC West one percent? 478 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 3: Yeah? 479 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 4: I mean, the the Niners getting a fourth place schedule 480 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 4: and that it's like here you go. I mean, know, 481 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 4: their defense is completely remade and they've got a lot 482 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 4: of things going on, and. 483 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 3: Rock party needs get paid, et cetera. 484 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 4: But it feels like it sets up very well for 485 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 4: the Niners to go from you know, we always people 486 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 4: go from worse to first, so playing that fourth place 487 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:50,440 Speaker 4: schedule for them especially is extremely valuable and that actually 488 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 4: narrowly edges them over the Rams for me to win 489 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 4: the division because the Rams have a harder schedule. 490 00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Rams in terms of their first place schedule 491 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: is harder, but ultimately I think the Rams and the 492 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: rest of the division just has to be happy because 493 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 1: I went through and I just did my own little 494 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: division rankings, my own little strength of schedule, because I 495 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: don't really believe in the strength to schedule just out 496 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: of division games and for the most part, most of 497 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: them are similar. But the NFC West just stands out 498 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:20,920 Speaker 1: as way easier than the rest. The hardest I thought 499 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: was the NFC East. Now I would argue the NFC 500 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 1: North maybe even has it tougher because they have to 501 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,439 Speaker 1: play each other, and then out of division, the NFC 502 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: North still has a very tough schedule. AFC North, nfcs 503 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: NFC East though has to play against the NFC North. 504 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 1: So that's that gauntlet with the Packers and the Vikings 505 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: and the Lions, even the Bears are better. And then 506 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: in the AFC they have to play the Chiefs, the Chargers, 507 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 1: and the Broncos, and the Raiders are thrown in there too. 508 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: So to me, that's probably the toughest out of division 509 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: schedule NFC East for sure. 510 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, outside of the division, inside of the Vision, they 511 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 6: all get to play the Giants. 512 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,959 Speaker 3: Wait, wait, hold on, can we talk about the Giants schedule? 513 00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 6: Sure? 514 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 4: The Giants are playing a one two three fourth place 515 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,160 Speaker 4: schedule and they have from October nineteenth until they're buy 516 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,879 Speaker 4: in week fourteenth. So October ninteenth is week seven. They're 517 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 4: away at Denver at Eagles hosting the Niners, at the 518 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 4: Bears hosting the Packers. So that's two times at home 519 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 4: at the Lions, at the Patriots on a Monday night, 520 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,640 Speaker 4: and then a buye So they have two home games 521 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 4: from October nineteenth until December fourteenth. 522 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 3: What you're asking, I never know what to. 523 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: Do it those I agree with you. That's a brutal stretch, 524 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 1: but that means they get it back. On the other end, 525 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,159 Speaker 1: the problem that they don't get back is that that 526 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 1: they just have to play all these goods. 527 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 3: So you're asking, you're asking. 528 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 4: Okay, so you're asking a new quarterback to figure out 529 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 4: the commanders. Then they this is how it starts at 530 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 4: Washington at Dallas, Dallas. 531 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: Find that's an average first two weeks, except it's two 532 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: roads Washington. 533 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, you're gonna be Heay. 534 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 4: Then you got the Chiefs and the Chargers. Okay, fine, 535 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 4: you know what, Fine, it's easy the old. 536 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: You're right, it's just the first two games didn't scare 537 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 1: me as much as that other Eagles at Broncos at Eagles, 538 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: that's read absolutely brutal. 539 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 4: October nineteenth to December fourteenth, you were home twice and 540 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 4: it's the Niners and the Packers. 541 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 1: And even the game before that is home on a 542 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,920 Speaker 1: short week against the Eagles. 543 00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 2: Like it's yeah, that's brutal. 544 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 4: Maybe maybe it's great that abdul Carter has no idea 545 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 4: what's about to hit it, mackbe it. They've never played 546 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 4: it any schedule in the NFL before, so you know, 547 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,879 Speaker 4: like maybe they won't know what you don't know. 548 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 5: Well, the problem is an Abdul Carter, right, The problem 549 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 5: is right now because Jackson Dart at some point it's 550 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 5: going to have to come in to try to save 551 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 5: everybody's job. 552 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,719 Speaker 6: And when the opportunity, I guess will be October fifth 553 00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 6: at the Saints. 554 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 5: Right. But the problem is if you start Jackson Dart 555 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 5: on October fifth, then you have to play him against 556 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 5: the Eagles at the Kist, the Broncos at the Row 557 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:49,360 Speaker 5: on the. 558 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:54,120 Speaker 3: Road to Row Eagles, Broncos Eagles, and oh and. 559 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 6: Your first starts Jackson Dart. 560 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,239 Speaker 1: Enjoy so much about like, if you're going to have 561 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,639 Speaker 1: a better than expected season or worse than expected season 562 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: is just in the divisional peration. And it's in injury 563 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: luck and other stuff like that in terms of the 564 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: teams that you play, whether they have injury luck at 565 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: the time you play them and not. But a lot 566 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,639 Speaker 1: of it is just these division schedules either rising, you know, 567 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,160 Speaker 1: helping out a lot of teams or crushing. 568 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,760 Speaker 3: But let's compare. Okay, so I told you how the 569 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 3: Giants start. Now here's how the Commanders start. Giants. 570 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 4: We know, Okay, at Green Bay that's hard, but then 571 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 4: they get Raiders and then at Falcons that's their first 572 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 4: four not like maybe three wins of that right like that, 573 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 4: and they're playing the second place schedule. 574 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 1: It's also I think if you're a bad team or 575 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: you're in a you've had a couple of tough seasons, 576 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,679 Speaker 1: you do want a softer early part of the schedule. Now, 577 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 1: this is one thing where the NFL says they try 578 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 1: to have the teams that have struggled play against each 579 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: other early in the season to help them out. So, 580 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: for instance, the Panthers start with two games on the road, 581 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: three out of four at Jacksonville at Arizona. But the 582 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: best team that they play, like in the first seven 583 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 1: weeks is Atlanta or you know, New England or Doubt. Like, 584 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: they don't play a team that you expect to have 585 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 1: eleven twelve, you know, wins this season in the first 586 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: seven weeks. So they're saying to the Panthers, here here 587 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,639 Speaker 1: before it gets tough, here's a chance to have a 588 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: good start. I think the Patriots got a similar start 589 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: to their season. They open with the Raiders, which like, 590 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: no game is going to be easy for them. They 591 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: open they're at Miami and then they're home for the 592 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: Steelers and the Panthers. Now it's not like they're going 593 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,560 Speaker 1: to be favored by a ton in any of those games, 594 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 1: but it's three out of four at home and the 595 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: best team you play in that group is either Miami 596 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: or Pittsburgh. So that's what you're looking for, just to 597 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: just avoid the superhumans like Lamar Jackson and Patrick Mahoemes. 598 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 4: I think also like avoid the people who are going 599 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 4: to be extremely tricky and the Raiders defense, as much 600 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 4: as the front of it is very nasty, it's not. 601 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 3: Like they're going to give you false leverages. 602 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 4: And Drake May's not gonna have to like, hmm, is 603 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 4: this man or zone that's not gonna happen, you know, 604 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 4: like it's they they had to read like their corners 605 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:06,160 Speaker 4: are still an issue. 606 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 3: It's not fixed yet, so perhaps it'll be easier. What 607 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 3: are you laughing? 608 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,880 Speaker 5: I don't know, No, I just loved I love Mike 609 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 5: Rabel and Pete Carroll in completely different scenarios with completely 610 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,640 Speaker 5: different players, and we expect a certain thing. 611 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 6: I don't. 612 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 4: I don't know you're going you're doing a record now 613 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 4: and taking this and taking the Raiders. 614 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 6: I don't want. 615 00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,439 Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm expecting, because why not. The 616 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: last time I saw Mike Rabel coach a team, they 617 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 1: were terrible, and for the most part, his defenses in 618 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,120 Speaker 1: Tennessee were fine. They were they were like average, uh 619 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: and the best thing about those teams was weirdly an 620 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:45,520 Speaker 1: offense run by like Ryan Tannehill and Arthur Smith. Oh, 621 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: by the way, Dereck Henry, Yeah, I guess he mattered 622 00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: just a little. 623 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 6: Seems like he might have played. 624 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 1: He probably was like the most underpaid player in the 625 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: league in hindsight at the time. 626 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean not today. 627 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,360 Speaker 1: Yes, we might as well throw some news in there. 628 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: David Henry signed a two year contract for a reported 629 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: thirty million according to our NFL media insider Ian Rapaport, 630 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: with twenty five million dollars guaranteed. 631 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:11,400 Speaker 2: So I like it. 632 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,600 Speaker 1: It's the most apparently any running back over thirty has 633 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 1: ever made, which is a pretty big caveat, but I 634 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: think it's a fair deal. Running Backs are getting paid 635 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: again a little bit. 636 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 4: I mean, between he and Saquon Barkley, they should, like 637 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 4: those guys prove themselves and they're still you know, they're 638 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,320 Speaker 4: not in a situation where you know, the team actually 639 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:30,760 Speaker 4: is like. 640 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 3: We have like a substitute one that we could put 641 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 3: in for you. 642 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 4: They don't have substitute ones like it helps Lamar Jackson 643 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 4: having Derrick Henry. It helps everyone having Saquon Barkley on 644 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 4: that Eagles offense. 645 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 5: But for context, they essentially for two years, Dereck Henry 646 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 5: is going to make twenty twenty five Daniel Jones money. 647 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 3: Correct, right, Yeah, So like, well it is bad. It's 648 00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,320 Speaker 3: hard to compare those quarterbacks with. 649 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: No but it's true though even he's getting like last year, 650 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,200 Speaker 1: for instance, he was getting like Jordan Lewis the nickel 651 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 1: back for the Jaguars money like ten or leg you know, 652 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: and even that was like he did not have a 653 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: strong market last year and they got a bargain out 654 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: of it. Multiple things can be true, though at some 655 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 1: point Derrick Henry has to not be a bionic superhero 656 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,960 Speaker 1: and next year, like I would like to see them 657 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: maybe take the load off just a little bit so 658 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,120 Speaker 1: that that twenty twenty six guaranteed money, all that money 659 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 1: that they gave him is well used because at at 660 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: some point as well. 661 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, but on some level are you like I will say, 662 00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 4: when it's a team like the Ravens, they're so smart 663 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 4: with their cap there's probably the way that it's structured 664 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 4: and I don't know because I haven't looked into it, 665 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 4: and I don't have the information necessarily, but like the 666 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 4: way that they structure things, perhaps they are paying him 667 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 4: basically like a bonus for what happened last Yes, because. 668 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 3: The way other players get paid. But let's be fair 669 00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 3: that this isn't happening with you know, the Bengals. 670 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 4: They have to figure out how to rub two pennies 671 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 4: together to figure things out. 672 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 3: Sometimes this is not with the Raven. 673 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 4: You can look at that and say, well, however, they're 674 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 4: guaranteeing it. I can pretty much say that they're being 675 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 4: fair with how they're paying someone, probably for his past 676 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 4: performance and not necessarily into the future, like you know. 677 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,719 Speaker 5: And the volume doesn't necessarily have to be a certain 678 00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 5: thing to justify the contract. Like you said, like the 679 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 5: best case scenario for Baltimore and for Derek Henry is, 680 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 5: you know, around two hundred carries, around twenty touchdowns. The 681 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,760 Speaker 5: best case scenario for some of these backup quarterbacks is 682 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 5: them never playing right. 683 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, actually that's in many cases the best thing about it. 684 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 4: Every time with the Chiefs, you're like, great backup quarterback 685 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 4: is their best case scenario. 686 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 3: He never sees the field. 687 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: These North and North battles. Just thinking about the Ravens 688 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,640 Speaker 1: are just They're just awesome all season. Like part of 689 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:52,480 Speaker 1: the reason that the Ravens feel so frontloaded with awesome 690 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,600 Speaker 1: games is like because there's awesome games throughout even without 691 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: with all that front loading. They have the Thanksgiving game 692 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,480 Speaker 1: against the Bengals. They actually play the Bengals twice in 693 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: three weeks. You hate when that happens. I know the 694 00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: NFL tries to avoid it. It's really hard putting everything 695 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: together and avoiding stuff like that. But they play twice 696 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: in three weeks between weeks thirteen, and. 697 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 3: I love those division games at the end there. 698 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 1: And then they also have it rather than all they 699 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: have an at Green Bay on a Saturday, which, just 700 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: as a quarterback lover, is like Jordan Love Lamar Jackson, 701 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:26,160 Speaker 1: you get, you get the Joe Burrow versus Jordan Love. 702 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 2: It's just these matchups. 703 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 5: That you know, the benefit of playing the Bengals for 704 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,520 Speaker 5: the Ravens two times in three weeks is Jamar Chase 705 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,280 Speaker 5: may be tired or running down the field mount h 706 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 5: by that second game. 707 00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 3: Stuff. 708 00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 4: You got another safety, Malachi Starks is there. It's going 709 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 4: to be good. Everything's going to. 710 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 2: Be the Speaking of news our Darius Washington Achilles. 711 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,360 Speaker 3: I hate, I hate that injury. 712 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,480 Speaker 1: A really good starting safety who is going to be 713 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:51,520 Speaker 1: part of you know, three safety rotation starting. 714 00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 4: Well, atleast they got Malachi Starks though, like in general, 715 00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 4: Commander can imagine if they want a different direction than 716 00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 4: the draft now, it would be very different. 717 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: Why Why are younger athletes tearing their actilities more often? 718 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 1: Says the Boston suf It's a rough week for Achilles. 719 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 2: You know what I'm not. 720 00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 1: Surprised about with the release of these schedules is that 721 00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: the Bears, who you're always looking for to get into 722 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: big spots, are in big spots. They get the week 723 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: one Monday night football game, they get the Commander's Monday 724 00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: Night football game, they get the Black Friday game, they 725 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 1: get a cool Saturday game against the Packers, and they 726 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,560 Speaker 1: get a week seventeen Sunday night football game, assuming that 727 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,040 Speaker 1: you know, hangs out against the forty nine ers before 728 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,520 Speaker 1: we go. Is there just any other kind of takeaways? 729 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: I know you run the numbers with your win totals 730 00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 1: once the schedule is put in. Was there anything that 731 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,400 Speaker 1: came away from all those numbers that we're interesting to you? 732 00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 3: Yeah? 733 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 4: So there's two things that are action items. Not for 734 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 4: us because we work for the NFL. But I believe 735 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,240 Speaker 4: that the markets are undervalue. You're going to get a 736 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 4: good stock price on if you want to ideally the 737 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 4: stock market you buy losel high. So you want to 738 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,320 Speaker 4: be buying the Seahawks right now. I think they're undervalued 739 00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 4: in terms of how Las Vegas believes that they will finish. 740 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 2: Not me. 741 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 4: I don't know anything about that, but fine. And then 742 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,040 Speaker 4: the other one is the Patriots. They're undervalued as well. 743 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,759 Speaker 4: Those two teams I believe are last year I. 744 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 1: Was in there like eight and a half or something, 745 00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:21,520 Speaker 1: seven and a half. Hats yeah, I think it was 746 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 1: seven and a half. Yeah, I guess it depends on 747 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:25,799 Speaker 1: the spot. But man, that that seems fair. 748 00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,040 Speaker 6: I'm great out that the Patriots are going to be bad. 749 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,719 Speaker 4: Listen, we all work together for enough years now, my 750 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,600 Speaker 4: lion like like the lion luck stuff. 751 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 3: I get it. I'm with you. 752 00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 4: But for everyone else at home, the Patriots are undervalueds fair. 753 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 2: Shout out to the Seahawks. I kind of thought they might. 754 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,720 Speaker 1: Be ignored in the Sam Darnold, you know, post Pete 755 00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: Carroll era, and actually they're in a lot of fun 756 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 1: spot good. They have a Thursday night game against the Cardinals. 757 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,279 Speaker 1: They have a Monday night game against the Texans, although 758 00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 1: that is an ESPN Plus game. They have a Sunday 759 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: night game against the Commanders. 760 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 3: They have they were calling it ESPN plus. Mooreth think 761 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:03,200 Speaker 3: she's just. 762 00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 2: ESPN Thursday night game. Okay, good to know. 763 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,680 Speaker 1: Thursday night game against the Rams like a Saturday game. 764 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,760 Speaker 1: So the NFC West is in a lot of big spots. 765 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: So that is your action items. 766 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:14,720 Speaker 3: Okay, those are my two actions. 767 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:17,920 Speaker 4: Last year, my action items were the Broncos and the Seahawks, 768 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:21,360 Speaker 4: and both of them were already actioned by like week eleven, 769 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 4: So those are. 770 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:27,239 Speaker 1: My Well, not only that, Cynthia, you have not made 771 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 1: a big enough deal about the show that we do together. 772 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,960 Speaker 2: We're doing it today, game debut. We do it. 773 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,800 Speaker 1: We picked the games every week all season. Before the season, 774 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:41,160 Speaker 1: you had the Eagles winning the Super Bowl against the 775 00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:45,400 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. You hit the exact Super Bowl result. 776 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:48,360 Speaker 3: You know, thanks, I appreciate you remembering that. 777 00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: At a time when not a lot of people were 778 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,120 Speaker 1: picking the Eagles to win the Super Bowl. 779 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 2: Last year. 780 00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:56,080 Speaker 1: In fact, I had picked them to win the Super 781 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: Bowl like the previous two years, then got off of 782 00:35:58,200 --> 00:35:59,320 Speaker 1: it like an idiot. 783 00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 4: That's what's going to happen to you again this year 784 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:02,000 Speaker 4: with your Super Bowl pick. 785 00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: I just know I'm keeping that close to the on 786 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 1: this show.
