1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre.

Speaker 2: about the Jets Texans on Halloween Night, folks. I am

00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: very excited to kind of tail my kids from a

7
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: distance to see them in action. And I will be

8
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 2: rocking my not the Ron Burgundy costume my ward to

Speaker 2: parties over the weekend. I will be wearing a I'm

10
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 2: gonna go back to the Cobra kai gotta show off

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 2: the guns. I know you guys laugh about that or

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 2: think I'm a loser. Either way, it doesn't really matter whatever.

13
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 2: I'm just having fun, living the dream, baby doing me. Yeah,

14
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: That's That's what I'm gonna do. I don't really care.

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: I'm gonna lean into having fun and not really care

16
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: what other people think. Right, that's the way to go.

17
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: Or maybe I'm trying to overcompensate because they keys came.

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 2: Freddy Freeman thought he'd delivered the knockout blow last night

19
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: with the early to run homer. All Freddy Freeman does

20
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: is hit home runs six straight World Series games with Homers.

21
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: He hits that bomb in the first day. I'm like, oh, Mike,

22
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: you gotta be kidding. Yanks an't going to get a game.

23
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 2: No shot of me going to Game six or seven

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: out here in LA It's is it really you guys

25
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: rolling over like that? And then the Yankees bats woke

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 2: up against a pretty shaky Dodger lineup. They just went

27
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: with a bunch of relievers and tried to cobble together

28
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: something and it worked spectacularly badly as the Yankees clawed

29
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: back one in the second. Then they get the Grand

30
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: Slam from Volpe and then it was just open season.

31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: In the eighth inning, they poured on even Aaron Judge

32
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: got a hit, which is good to see. Judge really

33
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 2: really struggling. Poor guy, just big stage, first World Series

34
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: and he is doing next to nothing. But it doesn't matter.

35
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: Yankee's got to win down three to one. We have

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: Game five to night from Yankee Stadium, and then if

37
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: there's a Game six, it's Friday. Game seven would be Saturday.

38
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 2: Now Game seven Saturday is interesting because you know what

39
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: else is Saturday. Penn State Ohio State one of the

40
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: best college football games of the day. But I think

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 2: it's probably the best college football game of the day.

42
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 2: And so Saturday is shaping up as just an awesome,

43
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: awesome day in sports, assuming we get to Game seven.

44
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: But I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm just happy the

45
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: Yankees got one. More baseball everybody wins, right, I mean, really, really,

46
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: that's all we can ask for. More games, more sporting events.

47
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: College basketball is right around the corner. Luka don Chitz

48
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: last night, how about that. I'm sure you guys saw it.

49
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 2: He leaves with a knee injury, did not look good

50
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: and needed help to the locker room, and comes back

51
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: and hits the dagger and says, you know, that's what

52
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: ifing do. And just I love that guy. Man, I

53
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: love me some Luka Doncic. Anyway, so the Yanks win,

54
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: but I think, you know, ordinarily I would have just

55
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 2: glossed it over and started with the NFL, because my gosh,

56
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: the NFL is getting crazy, you know. For I think

57
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: it was two years ago. I thought that because of

58
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: all all the success in the NBA with offseason player

59
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: movement and in season trades and all this, like the

60
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 2: NBA was winning social media, winning the narratives, the storylines,

61
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 2: and the NFL didn't really have that. They've got it

62
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 2: this year. Oh my gosh. Like I'm just gonna tell

63
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 2: you a couple of the headlines that happened on Thursday.

64
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: So the Jags, I'm not saying they're mailing in the season,

65
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 2: but they essentially traded their franchise left tackle who hadn't

66
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: been playing like one to the Vikings who lost Darrisol

67
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 2: their left tackle. How do you think Trevor Lawrence feel's

68
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: about that? Is this the beginning of a selloff for

69
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: the Jags, because, by the way, they're losing the Eagles

70
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: this weekend, right. So then you've got the Baltimore Ravens saying, oh,

71
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: I see the Chiefs anning up and going getting DeAndre Hopkins.

72
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: I see the Bills going get Amari Cooper. Let's get

73
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: in the act. We're gonna get Deontay Johnson. We talked

74
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 2: about this, Who's gonna get Deontay Johnson? Boom the Ravens

75
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: at him. Okay. Then you've got the Jamison Williams video.

76
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys saw this. The lines

77
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 2: receiver who's already suspended two games for peds gets pulled

78
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: over for speeding by cops in Detroit and they roll

79
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 2: up to his car and he's like, I don't think

80
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: he has quite an arsenal in his vehicle, but he

81
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: has multiple weapons and again, hey, nothing wrong with that,

82
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 2: you know, hey, whatever, And the cops are like, dude,

83
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 2: what's going why do you have all these weapons? And

84
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 2: he's like, I live in Detroit. Fact that was his response,

85
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 2: And you know not, I don't think it's the end

86
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: of the world. But it's also not a great look

87
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 2: when you're suspended. And now the prosecutor's office is were

88
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 2: reviewing a warrant request for Jameis Williams to be arrested

89
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: on a concealed weapon charge. It's like, really, come on, guys, now,

90
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 2: the traffic stock actually happened October eighth, but the video

91
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 2: only came out now, and it's like, listen, I like

92
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: Jamison Williams. I think he's a talented guy. He was

93
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,919
Speaker 2: awesome in Alabama, but if we're being a completely honest,

94
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 2: he can't get his act together. He's either injured or suspended,

95
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 2: and now he's got this like it's always something with

96
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: this guy. I don't think the Lions are set enough

97
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: at receiver that they can just expect to go into

98
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: the playoffs and make a run to the super Bowl

99
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 2: with what they've got. I don't William's going to be around?

100
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: Is he reliable? Can you count on him? So like

101
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: tons of fun NFL stories. Oh, I didn't even mention,

102
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: it's official. Stefan Diggs out for the season with a

103
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: torn acl And you have to wonder if maybe, just

104
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: maybe the Texans get in the wide receiver market and

105
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 2: make a play for somebody, cause let's be honest, this

106
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 2: Nico Collins soft tissue injury, folks, Nico Collins goes down

107
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 2: to Texas ay getting in the first round. They don't know,

108
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 2: they don't have the offense for it.

Speaker 2: But the big story, we'll start there and we'll work backwards,

114
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 2: was the Anthony Richardson benching by the Indianapolis Cols. Now,

115
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: on one hand, you could say, listen, obviously, Anthony Richardson

116
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: has been terrible, And forget starting the game two for

117
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 2: fifteen last week right in the first half ended ten

118
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 2: of thirty one. What about after the game, the media

119
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,280
Speaker 2: asked him, Hey, why did you come out for a play?

120
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: Was it a hamstring, a foot, an ankle? No, no, man,

121
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 2: I was just tired. And of course every former player

122
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 2: who's has a podcast, is on the radio, is on television,

123
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: is on social media, is just blasting him. Bro, that

124
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 2: is embarrassing. You can't pull yourself out for a play.

125
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 2: Come on, get a clue. This is horrible. And then

126
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: a day later, I guess Shane Steiken reviewed the tape

127
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 2: of the game and they decided to bench Anthony Richardson

128
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 2: for Joe Flacco. Now, I've joked about this multiple times

129
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 2: in the last few weeks that if I'm gambling, I

130
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 2: would much prefer to gamble against Anthony Richardson to Joe Flacco,

131
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: because I know Joe Flacco is gonna make it interesting.

132
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 2: He's gonna be delivering in the air, he can hit

133
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 2: the short stuff that Richardson struggles with. I think Flacco

134
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: is probably better suited for this team, but long term,

135
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: it's got to be Anthony Richardson. Now this is gonna

136
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: come off as I'm defending Richardson. I'm not defending. But

137
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: I just want to be clear. He's played ten games, guys,

138
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: but that's it. Ten NFL games last year in this year,

139
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 2: that's it. Ten starts. He had I think one season

140
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: only of starts at Florida. He was already not ready

141
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 2: to be an NFL quarterback. Did they rush him? I

142
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: don't know. He's twenty two years old, he's super young.

143
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: The numbers are ghastly. He's completing forty four percent of

144
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 2: his passes. That's not gonna get it done. He has

145
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 2: four touchdowns through the air, only one rushing touchdown. But

146
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: I need to harp on this. He has ten starts.

147
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: That would be the equivalent of, like, you know, bo

148
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: Nick starts for two more games is terrible and they

149
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: bench him or Caleb Williams goes in the tank for

150
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: the next three games and they bench him. Like the

151
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 2: ten games is not a big enough sample size. But

152
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 2: here's the problem benching Richardson accomplishes. What exactly is he

153
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: gonna somehow get better? He was he not ready, So

154
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: what they needed to do was essentially say, hey, Anthony,

155
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: we should sit you for a year. The way the

156
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 2: and I'm so sick of this analogy. The way the

157
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: Chiefs sat Patrick Mahomes for a year and let Alex

158
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 2: Smith run the show and Mahomes could, you know, get

159
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: a bunch of reps down. Mahomes was a multi year

160
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 2: starter at Texas Texas Tech, so slightly different story. Richardson,

161
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: a far different player. I think the better comp is

162
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: go look at Josh Allen's rookie year. You guys remember

163
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: when he was coming out of Wyoming. There was a

164
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 2: huge debate about Josh Allen because again in college, his

165
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: numbers not great, a his competition was garbage, and then

166
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: when he stepped up in competition there was only like

167
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: two games against good teams. He was abysmal completing like

168
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,720
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson type numbers. So then Josh Allen's getting ready

169
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 2: for the draft and everybody's like, I don't know, he

170
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: can't really throw and he's got massive issues and blah blah.

171
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 2: And then mel Kiper is the lone voice saying, listen,

172
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you this guy has every tool known

173
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: to man. He's going to be a superstar. I was like, okay, okay,

174
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: mel we got you sure. And next thing you know,

175
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is starting almost his entire rookie year. I'm

176
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 2: looking at the numbers. Looks like he missed some games

177
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: in November. I don't know. I'm assuming that was an

178
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 2: injury and not benching. But Josh Allen had three games

179
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: as a rookie where he threw for less than one

180
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 2: hundred yards. Okay. He had a fifty two percent completion

181
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: percentage as a rookie, ten touchdowns, twelve interceptions, rushed for

182
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: eight scores. Okay, his rookie year. You're like, this guy

183
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 2: can't throw. He couldn't hit the broad side of a bar,

184
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: and he's terrible. He couldn't hit water if he fell

185
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 2: out of a boat. You guys have heard that fun

186
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: side note In one of the men's leagues I play

187
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: in out here, the referees kind of know me, you know,

188
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: and I'm not this is not a flex but you know,

189
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 2: I got the podcast, I'm on the show. They know

190
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: me in the gym, and I've been this league for

191
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,559
Speaker 2: a few years, and they'd see me get in sandiary

192
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 2: from deep like I'm talking eight nine. I think there

193
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: was a game where I hit nine threes. But I

194
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: can get volcanic. I think I used the wrong word

195
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 2: back there a minute ago, but I'm all excited telling

196
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 2: the story. And then one game we're down a couple dudes,

197
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: and of course I got the green light and I

198
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: am jacket and I'm telling you it was a disaster.

199
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 2: And the referee at one point goes to me, Jmack,

200
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: you couldn't hit water if you fell out of a

201
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: boat tonight, And I started laughing. I was like that,

202
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 2: it's one of those nights. It happens. And then you know,

203
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 2: I probably made some joke like, well, Steph Curry's gone

204
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 2: through plenty of three for twenty five games. You know

205
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: he hasn't. But I play a lot. It happens, right,

206
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 2: and you got to just keep shooting and keep I'm

207
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: not going to give up basketball. They're not gonna bench me.

208
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: It's a basketball game.

209
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: Whatever.

210
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: So in the NFL, they just let Josh Allen play

211
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: through it. So guess what. In his second year in

212
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 2: the league, there was some improvement. He went from fifty

213
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: two percent to fifty eight percent. His interceptions went down

214
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: as he played more games. They tried to make them

215
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 2: a little remove the recklessness from him. And oh, by

216
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: the way, they made the playoffs. Now I bring up

217
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs for this reason. Do you guys remember Houston

218
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 2: twenty two Buffalo nineteen. It was a Saturday afternoon game,

219
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 2: Josh Allen versus wait for it, Deshaun Watson. Okay, and

220
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 2: Josh Allen had a pretty good first half and then

221
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, he hit a wall. And guys, the

222
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 2: numbers don't do it justice because he didn't throw a pick,

223
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 2: but he had multiple decisions that were awful. He finished

224
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: twenty four of forty six, no touchdowns, no picks. It

225
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 2: was sacked three times and fumbled twice, lost one of

226
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: them overall, though I'm not saying he cost them the game,

227
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 2: but he was really really bad in the second half

228
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,680
Speaker 2: when it mattered. And you know, Buffalo led this game

229
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 2: thirteen to nothing at halftime, and then in the fourth quarter,

230
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: you know, Josh Allen had a super costly fumble that

231
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: kind of let them back at let Houston back in

232
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 2: the game, and then Alan made some poor decisions and

233
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson leads him down to a field goal in overtime,

234
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: and you know, they win the game. But at that time,

235
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: and I remember watching it was like, oh my gosh,

236
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 2: Josh Allen cannot play this guy. He Oh goodness, gracious, Okay,

237
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: Josh Allen turned it around. Now here's the kicker. He's

238
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: got Brian dabol in Buffalo. So Josh Allen, rough first year,

239
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: you work out the kicks better second year. But still,

240
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 2: you know, fifty eight percent, fifty eight percent completions, that's nothing. Great.

241
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 2: What happened in year three, you guys remember your That's

242
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 2: when Josh Allen gets Stefan Diggs and makes the jump

243
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: to light speed. He goes fifty two percent completions to

244
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 2: fifty eight and then in year three sixty nine percent,

245
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 2: everybody's favorite number. He went to thirty seven touchdowns. That

246
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 2: was the year that he beat Philip Rivers in a

247
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 2: playoff game. Colts did cover, thank you. Philip Rivers beat

248
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson in a playoff game, and then they had

249
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: that Chiefs game where at the end of it, Diggs

250
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 2: was just staring as a confetti drop because they were upset.

251
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: They lost thirty eight twenty four. But Allen was fine

252
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 2: and you could tell like, oh, Josh Allen runs eighty

253
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 2: eight yards on the ground, this guy's here to play.

254
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: By year three, Josh Allen was instantly a top ten quarterback.

255
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: It just took some time. Okay, so let's get back

256
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: to Anthony Richardson. How long do you let this guy

257
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: continue to screw up, play through his mistakes and become

258
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 2: a potential stud in the league. Now, Brian Dabole had

259
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: some room and as the offensive coordinator, had some rope

260
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 2: to like, Hey, we're gonna let him play through the mistakes,

261
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,319
Speaker 2: we're gonna improve, and by year three, boom he improved.

262
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna remind you Anthony Richardson's played started ten games.

263
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: That's it. He got hurt last year as a rookie,

264
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: Anthon Richardson started four games. That's it to judge someone

265
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 2: on ten games. Now, here's where it gets interesting. Brian

266
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: Dable in Buffalo, for Allen was an offense awesome offensive mind.

267
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: Shane Stiken is similar. Everybody loves him. He is considered

268
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: by many to be one of the sharpest young minds

269
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 2: in the league. He turned Jalen Hurts from okay, second

270
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 2: round pick, He's fine, all right, whatever to oh damn,

271
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: this guy could play. Holy call. He was an MVP

272
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: candidate under Stainstike in so naturally everybody thinks, hey, we

273
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: can do the same with Anthony Richardson. It's just gonna

274
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: take some time. So nobody has any patience anymore. Social

275
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: media is just destroying Richardson and listen, he was not good.

276
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: You've got a owner who amazingly has been largely quiet

277
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: through this. I haven't heard anything nutty from him, and

278
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 2: it's like, well, what message is this sending to your

279
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 2: young guy? Clean up your act? Well, I don't know.

280
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 2: I heard one of these philosophers talk on a podcast.

281
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 2: I kind of got into a philosophy the last few years. Ironically.

282
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: The guy went on Joe Rogan's podcast, and I usually, honestly,

283
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: I would check Rogan and if it's a comedian, I'm not.

284
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 2: I just don't listen to it. It's all like his crew.

285
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: I don't need to hear their you know you, I've

286
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: already heard Adam Sandler's story fifty million times. And then

287
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 2: he had a philosopher on, this guy named naval Ravi

288
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 2: kant r a v I Kamt and I'd never heard

289
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: of his name before. I didn't even know what he

290
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: looked like. I just, you know, listened to the podcast

291
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 2: in the car and I was riveted. This guy's stuff

292
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 2: was incredible, and he told a story about listen, man,

293
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: you can work in a business and that's great, but

294
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: if you want to know what it's like to have

295
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: your own business, you've got to actually have your own business.

296
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 2: You've got to do it, and you've got to take chances.

297
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 2: You've got to make mistakes. You've got to fix those mistakes.

298
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: Like that's the only way you're going to grow. And

299
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 2: I thought about that with Anthony Richardson because like, Okay,

300
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: sitting on the bench is fine. I guess he can

301
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: watch a lot of tape, but the only way for

302
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 2: him to get better is playing through the mistakes. And

303
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, my son plays volleyball, and he

304
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 2: was on a volleyball team, I think his first year,

305
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: and he was battling this other guy for libero, which

306
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: is like, you know, the smallest guy on the team

307
00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: plays it. And they were kind of battling throughout the season,

308
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 2: and the coach didn't really let them play through their mistakes.

309
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 2: It would be like, if you screw up twice, you're

310
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 2: getting pulled. So my son started a bunch and then

311
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 2: he had his mistakes and the other guy would start

312
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: and blah blah blah, and it just turns out like

313
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 2: the biggest tournament. I don't know. Like three months into

314
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 2: the season, the other guy I had started made a

315
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: couple of mistakes gets yanked, and my son went in

316
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 2: and like didn't make mistakes, had his best weekend ever

317
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 2: and was like kind of locked in as the starter

318
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 2: for a while after that, And I didn't know what

319
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,080
Speaker 2: to say to the coach, like are you gonna let

320
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 2: the guys play through mistakes? Like two mistakes and you're

321
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 2: pulling them and that kind of gets in someone's head. Well,

322
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 2: I can't screw up. So then you know, guys aren't

323
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 2: going for the volleyball as much because they don't want to, Like, hey,

324
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 2: if I dive and don't get it, or if I

325
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 2: if I go for this, that's maybe a fifty to

326
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 2: fifty ball and I don't get it, that's a mistake,

327
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 2: and then he's gonna pull me. And then guys, aren't

328
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: It just messes with your head. So I just wonder

329
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: how much this is gonna mess with Anthony Richardson's head,

330
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 2: because let's be real, the Colts shockingly are are kind

331
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 2: of in the playoff mix in the AFC. We can

332
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: talk about the Jets all day, they ain't in the mix. Now,

333
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 2: the Colts haven't beaten really anybody great yet. They took

334
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 2: down the tue list Dolphins, the hapless Titans. They did

335
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: beat Caleb Williams and the Bears at home again that

336
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: the Bears really handed them. And they beat the Steelers,

337
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 2: who I don't think are good, but whatever the record

338
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 2: says otherwise. And they've they've suffered. Their losses are to

339
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 2: the Texans and Packers, who are you know, playoff teams,

340
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 2: potential contenders, the Jags loss which was with Flacco, and

341
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: then this recent loss to the Texans. But they've lost

342
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,919
Speaker 2: two games to the six and two Texans by a

343
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 2: combined five points. Anyways, I see this Richardson benching as

344
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 2: oh man, they got to face the Vikings and Brian Flores.

345
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 2: Brian Flores who blitz is at the second highest rate

346
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 2: in the league. Oh, this is not going to go

347
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 2: off for Richardson. I had you know, you could you

348
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 2: start to look at the game and you're like, oh man,

349
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 2: this is a high profile game. This is Sunday night football,

350
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: Vikings Colts. I think it's Sunday night football. Yeah, and

351
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: oh boy, richards is going to get him. Maybe Stichen

352
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: thought about that and it's like, this is just not

353
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 2: a good matchup. And by the way, after the Vikings

354
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,960
Speaker 2: is the Bills and the Jets and the Lions is

355
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: a tough stretch. After that, it eases up a little.

356
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: You get Patriots, there's a Titans game in there. But

357
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 2: bottom line is like I think you got to get

358
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson back out there. I mean, like Flacco, he

359
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: gives you a better chance to win now. But okay,

360
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 2: let's say you go seven and ten, So what and

361
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 2: now you got a quarterback who's only played ten games

362
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 2: in two seasons. The clock is ticking. I don't know.

363
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 2: I mean, it's obviously not an easy one. I'm sure

364
00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 2: stain Shane Stikeen's thinking about job security just a little bit.

365
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: You can't rule that out. But it's a tough one

366
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: for the Colts. And I don't do a lot of

367
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:26,199
Speaker 2: Colts material on this podcast, but man, I it just

368
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: feels a little bit like a quick hook and a

369
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 2: little reactionary to the narrative online than Anthony Richardson kind

370
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 2: of quit for a play. But at any rate, I

371
00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,200
Speaker 2: guess what we can do is I don't know. I

372
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 2: don't need to go through all the James and Williams

373
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 2: dig stuff again.

378
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: I do want to quickly drill down for a second

379
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 2: on the Ravens getting Deontay Johnson. So I'm I'm sure

380
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 2: you guys know this. I have been not negative towards

381
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,199
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, but not as bull not as bullish on

382
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. Yes, last year in the playoffs, I had

383
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 2: looked at Mahomes's numbers and I said, Brock Purty was

384
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 2: having a better season, had a better playoffs. That's all true, guys,

385
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,479
Speaker 2: if you look at the numbers, if you are someone

386
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 2: who you know, the numbers rise in the morning and

387
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 2: set at night, and you go by those, Yeah, Rock

388
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 2: Perty had a better season than Patrick Mahomes. Patrick Mahomes

389
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 2: did win the Super Bowl, Rock Purty did not. Whatever.

390
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 2: So now you fast forward to this season and the

391
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 2: Chiefs offense continues to struggle. Guys, I can't underestimate how

392
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 2: bad Mahomes has been espn athletic. These guys have all

393
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 2: done stories on how far the stats are down. I'm

394
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: just gonna remind you after throwing two touchdowns against the Raiders,

395
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes on the season eight touchdowns, nine picks. That's

396
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 2: on the season. The prior two games before that, again

397
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 2: they're seven or zero. I need to get that out

398
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,439
Speaker 2: of the way before people get angry. The prior two

399
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 2: games before that zero touchdown passes. He completed fifty nine percent.

400
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 2: Against the Niners, he was not good. He had two picks.

401
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: Now perty had three, but I digress. Against the Saints,

402
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 2: that was the Kareem Hunt game. Mahomes did throw for

403
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: three thirty one against the hapless defense that anybody can shred.

404
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: And you just look at the numbers and like, I

405
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 2: get it, Patrick Mahomes, he's not really delivering this year.

406
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 2: Then you look at the scoop as guys, You're like, oh,

407
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 2: I get it. Now you don't have anybody or she

408
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 2: Rice is down, but check Go's down. I'll read off

409
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: the starting wide receivers for the Kansasity Chiefs, Xavier Worthy,

410
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 2: Juju Smith, Schuster who's nurse in a hammy, and DeAndre Hopkins. Okay,

411
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 2: and this ain't d hop from like Arizona. Okay, Travis

412
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 2: Kelcey obviously very good at tight end, but he's up

413
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 2: there in age. And the running backs are Kareem Hunt

414
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 2: and Samaj p Rhyme. And so I went on the

415
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 2: herd yesterday after this trade and I said, whoa, oh

416
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: my god, Baltimore getting Deontay Johnson. Soltimore's receivers now are

417
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,679
Speaker 2: undeniably better. It's not even close to what the Chiefs

418
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 2: have in Jay Flowers, who's better than anybody. The Chiefs

419
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 2: have Deontay Johnson, who's better than anybody. The Chiefs have

420
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 2: Healthy that is obviously healthy, and Rashad Bateman, who is

421
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 2: touching go, Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely to me, that's

422
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 2: a better tight end duo than Kelsey and Noah Gray.

423
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 2: Now you can debate that Mark Andrews has that time

424
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 2: look washed, although not in recent weeks, and likely is

425
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 2: a freak who has a lot of talent. And then

426
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 2: you look at running back Derrick Henry, Justice Hill or

427
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 2: Kareem Hunt and samaj p. Ryan. So the Ravens are

428
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 2: better at running back, wide receiver, tight end, folks, there's

429
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: no denying it. The Baltimore Ravens have better skill position

430
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 2: players than the Chiefs. You can't even build a credible

431
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 2: argument the other way, at least as currently constituted without Rashid,

432
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 2: Rice and Pacheco. And then you look at the Buffalo

433
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 2: Bills and it's like, oh, well, shoot, they got Amari Cooper. Wait,

434
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 2: so the Bills also have better receivers than the Chiefs.

435
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 2: Amari Cooper, I would take Shakir over Worthy or Jujus

436
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 2: Smith Schuster. I'm sure you guys have seen Shakiro. He's

437
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 2: one of the best possession receivers in the league. The

438
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:17,680
Speaker 2: last year and a half, he's been unbelievable. Kean Coleman

439
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,439
Speaker 2: young but had a really nice showing over the weekend

440
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 2: in Seattle against the damn good secondary. And then Amari Cooper,

441
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 2: who's better than anyone in the Chiefs have at running back.

442
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 2: Give me James Coke over Kareemont and you would do

443
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: it too. Ray Davis even looks pretty good. Like again,

444
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 2: the Ravens and the Bills both have better skill position

445
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 2: players than the Chiefs, and I don't think it's particularly close.

446
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,919
Speaker 2: What does that mean, Well, football games aren't played on paper,

447
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: so obviously we can say, oh, well, I look over

448
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 2: here and I see Andy Reid and I look over

449
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 2: here and I see Patrick Mahomes and that's games hit match,

450
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 2: And yeah, I would say Read is a better coach

451
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 2: than Harbaugh and McDermott, And over the course of their career,

452
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 2: I'll go Mahomes. But this year, given the weapons they have,

453
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily know. Now defensively is where this changes

454
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: a lot. And the Bills are getting healthier, They're not

455
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 2: there yet. Remember Milano will come back. Von Miller's suspension

456
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 2: will end. Bernard has been, you know, kind of banged up.

457
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: They're obviously not as good defensively as the Chiefs, but

458
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 2: they're very, very good. Baltimore another situation where injuries have

459
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 2: kind of taken their toll. Now they lost their defensive

460
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: coordinator McDonald. I thought the drop off would be massive.

461
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 2: It actually hasn't been massive. But they need a healthy

462
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 2: Marlon Humphrey, they need Kyle Hamilton catching the football. Nate Wiggins,

463
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 2: the young cornerback. He's been hurt. So when healthy, like

464
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 2: they got some dudes away ro qwand Smith, Kyvinoyd, they

465
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 2: got guys, I would give an edge to the Chiefs defensively.

466
00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 2: Let's see where that theoretical game is being played. Whether

467
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 2: it's Buffalo, Baltimore or Casey. And I'll just inclosing, I

468
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: think this is a huge get for Baltimore landing Deontay Johnson.

469
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: He is very good. I would assume he'll fall in

470
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: line in a locker room with powerful voices like Lamar

471
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 2: Jackson and Derek Henry. I can't imagine Deontay Johnson half

472
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: assing it the way he did in Pittsburgh his final

473
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: season before they shipped his ass out to Carolina. I

474
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 2: think he'll get the memo, as the kids say. But

475
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 2: here's where all of this kind of sort of gets

476
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 2: a little dicey. So let's say Patrick Mahomes and company

477
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 2: beat the Buccaneers and go to eight. No, how much

478
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: are they favored by against the Broncos at home six

479
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: and a half seven, probably in that neighborhood. Then the

480
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 2: huge game at Buffalo, which could potentially make the AFC

481
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: interesting because after that, if they somehow beat Buffalo and

482
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 2: they haven't really played their best yet, the Chiefs, I

483
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 2: don't think, remember they were getting they were getting beat

484
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 2: by the Bengals soundly before some Mahomes magic and questionable flag.

485
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: But if the Chiefs get by the Bills, on November seventeenth.

486
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 2: This is who they play after that at Panthers. That's

487
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: seven to ten point spread verse the Raiders another seven

488
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,080
Speaker 2: to ten point spread, maybe double digit, probably double digits

489
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: since it's at home and they were laying what nine

490
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 2: on the road. And then it's at that point they

491
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 2: could be theoretically twelve and zero, and then it's Chargers, Browns,

492
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 2: Texan Steelers, Broncos.

493
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: Folks.

494
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 2: Ah, I hate talking about this because I'm the buffoon

495
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 2: who a couple of weeks ago was like, you know what, Yester,

496
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 2: she rice injury up. They could miss the playoffs. And

497
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 2: then of course they beat the Chargers, beat the Saints

498
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 2: and beat the Niners and blah blah blah, and it's like,

499
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, so the Chiefs are gonna get probably

500
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 2: home field advantage again. I think the biggest game for

501
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 2: them is that Buffalo Bills game November seventeenth. If they

502
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 2: win that, folks, it's looking like the Kansas City Chiefs

503
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: will be clean and clear. Home field advantage is theirs

504
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 2: because they have the tiebreaker over the Ravens. They would

505
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 2: have the tiebreaker over the Bills, and oh, by the way,

506
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 2: they would still be undefeated. So if you want to

507
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: get really bleak about someone taking down the Chiefs again,

508
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 2: many of you probably don't have Chiefs fatigue. But I

509
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 2: don't find them playing like a fun, good, exciting brand

510
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 2: of football now. And I know Chiefs fans don't care.

511
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: We just want to win, but I just look at

512
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,120
Speaker 2: this team and I'm like, oh, they're just so mid.

513
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 2: I don't think they're dominant, and they'll probably end up

514
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 2: in the super Bowl once again. Anyways, we are back tomorrow.

515
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 2: I got a good interview lined up. You guys will

516
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 2: like it. He's a fan favorite. As a kid. Say,

517
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 2: we'll talk to you then,
