1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Welcome to the best of the week for What's Right 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: with Nick Right the best takes in moments from this 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: week on the show Enjoy. 4 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 2: So they are not letting Russ cook anymore in New York, 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 2: it's Jackson dark time. They put him in a kind 6 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 2: of a weird time as could be a blessing or 7 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,119 Speaker 2: a curse. They are playing the Chargers and they have 8 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 2: a top ranked defense. How do you see things going 9 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 2: for Jackson Dart in the Giants? 10 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: I think they might get a temporary shot in the arm. 11 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: I'm not right. Listen, They're in New York. I think 12 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,960 Speaker 1: that defense is good. I am. I'm giving the Giants 13 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: maybe a bigger chance than I should at making this 14 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: a real game and then seeing what Jackson Dart can do. 15 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: When Daniel Jones took over, you know, not a few 16 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: years ago, but half decade ago. His first game, I 17 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: think it was against Tampa. He comes in, plays well, 18 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: they steal a win. They're feeling good now. That team 19 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: didn't end up being very good, but like in that moment, 20 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: because I do think they were out on Russ. I 21 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 1: I am not as big on the Jackson Dart aura 22 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: as other people are. But people seem to really like him. 23 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: I guess we'll you know, we'll see. Guy strikes me 24 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: is a little bit of like a frat bro. But 25 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: whatever with the I am open. I liked him evidently 26 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: that that chain isn't a chain, it's his sister's necklace 27 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: that he yeah, yeah, so like he borrowed it from 28 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: her war it now he wears it for good luck. 29 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: I don't have that full story. I think it's been 30 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: reported out elsewhere, but they seem very excited about him. 31 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: To me, the bigger story is about Russ. Is his 32 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: career over? And is he a Hall of Famer? And 33 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: my answer to those questions are yes, his career is over, 34 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: and no, he's not Hall of Famer. And it is 35 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: stunning how quickly this ended for him. It doesn't feel 36 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: stunning because it feels like he's been bad for years now, 37 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: which he has been. But Russell Wilson forced his way 38 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: out of Seattle. The Broncos gave up a king's ransom 39 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: for him and then paid him early a huge deal, 40 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: and he immediately was terrible. And it was it was 41 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: not that long ago that people thought the Broncos were 42 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: going to be a real threat because they got Russell Wilson. 43 00:02:54,320 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: It was September of twenty twenty two that they gave 44 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: up multiple first round picks, gave him a huge deal, 45 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: and then he and Nat Hackett lost that opening game 46 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: to Geno and the Seahawks, and it's just been a 47 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: disaster for him ever since. And I understand he has 48 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: a good career winning percentage, and I understand that he has, 49 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, nine Pro Bowls ten no, ten Pro Bowls 50 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: because he oddly made the Pro Bowl last year. And listen, 51 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: he was a really really good player in Seattle. But 52 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: in his during his career, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, 53 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: Drew Brees, Big Ben Patrick, Josh Lamar, we're all Hall 54 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: of Fame quarterbacks. During his career, Philip Rivers was, in 55 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: my opinion, better than Russ. I don't know that Rivers 56 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: is getting in Eli. I don't know that I think 57 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: Eli was better than Russ. But Eli has the two 58 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: Super Bowls versus one, and Eli I don't think is 59 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: getting in, at least not anytime soon. He didn't have 60 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 1: as high of a peak as Cam Newton or Matt Ryan, 61 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 1: who are not getting in. And the longevity part is 62 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: not there for him. He had nine good to excellent 63 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: years and that's it. And for a quarterback you need more. 64 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: There was It's hard to find more than one year 65 00:04:56,520 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: where he was a consensus top five quarterback. It's impossible 66 00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 1: to find one year where he was a consensus top 67 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: three quarterback. And so I just don't think he's a 68 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: Hall of Famer. He was on a Hall of Fame trajectory. 69 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: And if Malcolm Butler doesn't pick that ball off, and 70 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: he has the greatest start to a career in the 71 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: history of the league. A Year one takes team to 72 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 1: Divisional round of the playoffs. Year two wins the Super 73 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: Bowl over Peyton Manning, Year three wins the Super Bowl 74 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: over Tom Brady. But Malcolm Butler did pick that ball off. 75 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: And the fact of the matter is the best teams 76 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:41,359 Speaker 1: he was on, good teams that he was the centerpiece of. 77 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:48,159 Speaker 1: He was on great teams that he was the caretaker of. 78 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: And I just don't think he's a Hall of Famer. 79 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: And I don't know at this point Demont's I don't know, Like, 80 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: are the Bengals gonna call and try to get him? 81 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: I don't think so, Like, I don't know where he 82 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: goes and. 83 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 3: As a starter is just a backup. Right we're talking back. 84 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: No, I'm talking about the Bengals as a starter right now, Okay, 85 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: like with Burrow out like, but the Broncos traded for him, 86 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: they were done with him after a year and a half. 87 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: The Steelers signed him, they were done with him after 88 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: a half year starting. The Giants signed him, they were 89 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 1: done with him after three games starting. I just think 90 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: it's over and it's a pretty crummy ending, and so 91 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: I don't but like, to me, he's not a Hall 92 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: of Fame player. He's a really good player with a 93 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 1: really good career, but not a Hall of Fame player, 94 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: and it sure seemed like the Giants could not wait 95 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: to move on from him, as far as it's a 96 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: Giants thought process here, I Danny's been making this point, 97 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,119 Speaker 1: and I think he's right. If Jackson Dart's ready now, 98 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: he was probably ready in week one, And if he 99 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 1: wasn't ready in week one, he's probably not ready now. 100 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: But I think that Brian Dable doesn't want to be 101 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: deal with empty met life seats and booze if he 102 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: wants to have a chance of keeping that job, and 103 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: so putting Dart out there is getting at least the 104 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: New York fans excited about this weekend's game and the 105 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: rest of this season.

Detroit came back on the next drive, converted 145 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: on fourth, got a touchdown. So we did it for 146 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 2: your team, we should do it for my team too. 147 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 2: Should I be worried about my Ravens with how everything's 148 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 2: going at the moment. 149 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: So I'm glad you listen. I'm glad you put it 150 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: in that context. We did it for the Chiefs for 151 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: being zero and two and now one and two. Should 152 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: we do it for Baltimore? And it is a very 153 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: interesting test of sports media today and who has and 154 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: has not earned benefits of the doubt because I silly me, 155 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: Chiefs Homer Lifelong, Kansas City, and got a tattoo about 156 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: the team. Silly me. I would have thought that a 157 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: team that has been to seven consecutive conference championship games, 158 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: been to five of the last six Super Bowls, won 159 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: three of the last six Super Bowls, and been to 160 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 1: three straight that if any team would have earned a 161 00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt for sputtering out of the gates, 162 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: it would be the Chiefs, but I was wrong. It 163 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: was is a lot of talk about how systemically the 164 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 1: team may be broken, about Patrick not being as good 165 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: as he once was, Andy's play design not being as 166 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: creative as it once was, and about how this team 167 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 1: just isn't scary anymore. And you know an ad that 168 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: will get to in a minute, when over the New 169 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 1: York Giants didn't exactly quiet that for most people. We'll 170 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: get to my thoughts on it in a second. And 171 00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: the tackle that turned the tide trademark, as Kevin Wilds 172 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: would say, I wonder how folks are going to discuss 173 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:50,680 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens now that they are one and two 174 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: with the one victory being an uninspiring one over the 175 00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns. Now that they the Baltimore Ravens, who the 176 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: benefit of doubt that they have earned is being to 177 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: zero consecutive Super Bowls, zero in the last decade, one 178 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: conference championship game appearance. If we are going to look 179 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: at the Baltimore Ravens defense with the same critical eye 180 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: that we have looked at the Kansas City Chiefs offense, 181 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: a Baltimore Ravens defense that ultimately last year was not 182 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 1: good enough that up to this point this year has 183 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: been down right awful, a Baltimore Ravens team that, on 184 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:51,080 Speaker 1: top of that, seems to situationally not be the most 185 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,720 Speaker 1: buttoned up in football, and a Baltimore Ravens team that, 186 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: all of a sudden second best player seems to have 187 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,560 Speaker 1: an odd fumble problem. Now, I don't know if you 188 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: agree with me or not on this, Demonsey. I do 189 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: not think that game was lost on the Derrick Henry fumble. 190 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,960 Speaker 1: I think that the rape. That game was lost on 191 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: the Ravens' entire inability to get us to stop Detroit 192 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: from doing whatever they wanted on the ground. 193 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair. 194 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: And the two ninety five plus yard drives of Detroit 195 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: just running it down their throat, to me, was a 196 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 1: flashing red light of concern. And it is. You know, 197 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: it's kind of perfect that, you know, the Chiefs and 198 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens now play each other on Sunday, because one 199 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: of these teams is going to be zero and three 200 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: with three losses to the three legitimate teams they faced, 201 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: and the other team's going to be two and two 202 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 1: and have studied ship And we'll talk obviously more about 203 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,400 Speaker 1: that game. On Thursday and Fridays. 204 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 4: You think, but oh yeah, go ahead, we'll talk about 205 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:11,800 Speaker 4: I was gonna say, what do you think with Kansas 206 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 4: City winning in Baltimore coming off this loss, that it's 207 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 4: a bad scenario for the Chiefs, could be a potential 208 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 4: trap game? 209 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: Well no, again, this is I blame Wilds for this, 210 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: not you. No, nobody seems to understand what trap game 211 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 1: means anymore. Trap game you're talking about maybe brown let 212 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: down spot or something. Trap game? Is you what? So 213 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: let's say the Chiefs had been two to zero going 214 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 1: into the Giants game with the Ravens coming up the 215 00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 1: following week, then the Giants are a trap game. Trap 216 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: game is team flying high facing a bad opponent with 217 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: a good opponent coming up. Trap game. Perfect example. Trap 218 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: game is what the Packers just dealt with looking great, 219 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: have the Cowboys, you know, kind of not revenge, but 220 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: a big Mica game coming up, and then the Browns 221 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: beat him. That's a trap game. The Chiefs playing the 222 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 1: Ravens like not a trap game. It is a What 223 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: you're talking about is the Ravens all of a sudden 224 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 1: potentially more desperate coming off the loss. But desperation is 225 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: you know accounts for something. Whether or not this team 226 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: is quite as good as everyone assigned them as being 227 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: is something else. And so let's talk about the actual 228 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: game itself. So the Ravens defense was disastrous start to finish. Now, 229 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 1: they didn't have nom Di Matabuque, but I don't know 230 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: when they're getting him back. They didn't have Kyle van Noy, 231 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: but I don't know when they're getting him back. And 232 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: Rokwan Smith was not good. Historically, he's been excellent last 233 00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 1: year was a little shaky. Last night he was not good. Obviously, 234 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: folks are gonna focus on the Derek Henry fumble. I 235 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 1: want to talk about Lamar for a second. And again 236 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: I texted this Greg Rosenthal this morning about alleged you know, 237 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: because Greg said he didn't want to be lumped in 238 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: with the quote Lamar haters, And I texted Greg, I 239 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 1: was like, the Lamar haters group is just Bill Pollion 240 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,760 Speaker 1: from a decade ago in a draft evaluation. And I 241 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 1: guess me, because everyone else in the media is in 242 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: pretty much lockstep that this guy is simply unimpeachably great 243 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: and one of the greatest players we've ever seen. And 244 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: while I do think he's one of the greatest players 245 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: we've ever seen. I ain't. Last night he was not 246 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 1: quite as good as the numbers suggest. And let me 247 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: tell you why now. Not just because the I don't 248 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: really care about the final eighty yard cards and touchdown 249 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,160 Speaker 1: when they were down fourteen with less than two minutes left. 250 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 1: That's not what I'm talking about. Even before that, like 251 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: you started the game nine of ten, his pass rating 252 00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: was crazy. He was making some really good passes. There 253 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: are two things last night that I feel are not 254 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 1: one offs that if I were a Raven fan, would 255 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:31,679 Speaker 1: be concerning. One is Lamar's refusal to throw the ball 256 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: away and his hesitation to just take off and run, 257 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: and those two things combining to him being sacked seven 258 00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: times is just a killer. Like he was great when 259 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,639 Speaker 1: he threw the ball, but he needed to throw the 260 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,240 Speaker 1: ball a little more or a little quicker or take 261 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: off and run. Those sacks were drive killers time and 262 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 1: time again. So that's the kind of potato crazy. 263 00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,560 Speaker 2: And it being seven sacks, that's something that will get 264 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 2: corrected pretty fast. 265 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 1: Yes, I would think so. But it was the concern 266 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: there is it wasn't corrected during the game. It was 267 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,480 Speaker 1: five sacks, you know, when they were still in the 268 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: game and still on that last drive before the drive 269 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,679 Speaker 1: when they punted with like six minutes left, you know, 270 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 1: he took he got sacked once there and then another 271 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 1: one he ran, but it was essentially a sack, like yeah, exactly, 272 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 1: and here's the other one. And I'm just curious if 273 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 1: other people noticed it. Man, he seemed to be wound 274 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: tight from the opening snack. 275 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 3: He was pissed off the whole game. Yeah, he was 276 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 3: tilted the entire time I saw it. I don't know 277 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 3: what it was. It was like very simple stuff in 278 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 3: the beginning. 279 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 1: So weird that the first drive of the game that 280 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 1: they didn't score. I don't know which stride it was, 281 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: but the first time they went three and out, his 282 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: like body language and emotions are really yeah and so 283 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: and that is we have seen that Lamar a handful 284 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: of times before. It unfortunately for him, more often than not, 285 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: is in the playoffs, where like early in the game, 286 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: you're like, oh, he is anxious about this spot, but 287 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: they were coming off a win like that. I didn't 288 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 1: really get it. Why the last time they played Detroit 289 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: they annihilated him. He has a hilarious record in his 290 00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: career against NFC teams. I'm gonna pull it up real 291 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: quick because it now obviously I think he was like 292 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: twenty three and one. 293 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 2: Say it again, okay, I thought at this point he 294 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:09,879 Speaker 2: has like four losses total from the NFC. 295 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 3: It might be less than that. 296 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: Apparently, I think it's less two the so lamar, No, 297 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: you were right. You nailed it. So going into last night, 298 00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 1: he was twenty four and four in against the NFC 299 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: with forty eight touchdowns, nine picks, and like a one 300 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: toh eight rating. I think maybe he had at some 301 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: point won like twenty straight or something. Whatever it was, 302 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: he had had a ridiculous record against the NFC. He 303 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: had beaten, they annihilated the Lions last time they played 304 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 1: he they had just come off a win, and the 305 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: offense had been great in both games, or they scored 306 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,479 Speaker 1: forty points in both games. It was just a weird 307 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 1: spot for him to be wound immediately, and those things 308 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 1: concern me. 309 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:05,479 Speaker 3: Man. 310 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: So here is here is the I think fair read. 311 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:21,200 Speaker 1: Given everything I've said about the Chiefs being fine about 312 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: where the Ravens are as they now both sit at 313 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: one and two, it is hard like what either the 314 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,120 Speaker 1: Chiefs or the Ravens are gonna be one and three 315 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: Sunday night. It will still be so hard to find 316 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 1: seven AFC playoff teams without including both of the Chiefs 317 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: and the Ravens. And here's why. The Bills are three 318 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: and oh they're excellent. The Chargers are three and oh 319 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: they're excellent. Okay, here is the entire list of teams 320 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 1: other than Bills and Chargers in the AFC that currently 321 00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: have a better record than the Evens and Chiefs at 322 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: one and two. We're two teams the Colts who are 323 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: three and zero, who look excellent, but I think there 324 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 1: is still a little bit of waiting for the bottom 325 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: to fall out. And then there are only three other 326 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: teams and they all feel totally fraudulent. They the Cincinnati Bengals, well, 327 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals who don't have their quarterback, the Steelers 328 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: who are not good, flatly not good. And I worry side, 329 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: you know, preview to Knicks Picks. I cannot wait to 330 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,439 Speaker 1: be on the Vikings this weekend as they play a 331 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: London or an Ireland game and that defense going after 332 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. And then the Jags, who I man, I 333 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: can't I have not been pleased without the Jags have 334 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: played through three weeks. That's it, right, and I know 335 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,920 Speaker 1: it's the playoffs obviously don't start today. If the playoffs 336 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: started today, the AFC would have a one in two 337 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: playoff team like one of the one and two teams 338 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 1: would make it. So I will not say that the 339 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: Ravens at one and two or even at one in 340 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:27,399 Speaker 1: three should panic as far as making the playoffs. What 341 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:32,639 Speaker 1: I will say is one of the reasons I have 342 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: this confidence about the Chiefs is for a nearly a 343 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: decade now, every single year they play their best ball 344 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: in the postseason home or road. No, they play their 345 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: best ball on the postseason. Particularly the AFC side of 346 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 1: the bracket. Havn't obviously always played their best ball in 347 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: the super Bowl, but in the postseason they had, or 348 00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: in the AFC side of the bracket they have. The 349 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: Ravens are the opposite. And I think that the defense 350 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 1: last year looked hugely problematic and then turned it around 351 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: at mid season. I don't know if they're going to 352 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: be able to do that again, and so they. 353 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 3: Are still very potent. 354 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 2: Like this, This is a good offensive. I want to 355 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 2: call them offensive Juggernaut, But damn near. 356 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 3: It's a pretty good team. 357 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 2: No, they're gonna have to do some stuff to you, 358 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,120 Speaker 2: but you see, you're one of the better teams. 359 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:41,920 Speaker 3: You got to be able to beat the good teams. 360 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: Correct, right, it's the the Ravens are trying to win 361 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. They're going to have to go through 362 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: the Bills, Kansas City, the Chargers just to get to 363 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: whomever is in the other side of the bracket. And 364 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: I and if you were to tell me right now, honestly, 365 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: if you have an all time legend at quarterback, like 366 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and the Ravens both do, what would you 367 00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,959 Speaker 1: rather If you're gonna have to have one part of 368 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 1: your team really be struggling early in the season, what 369 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: would you rather it be? Me? Personally, I'd rather it 370 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,440 Speaker 1: be the side of the ball that my all time 371 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: legend can help correct. So, like, if you're in Kansas City, 372 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:41,399 Speaker 1: you the offense has not looked good, but Patrick is 373 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: directly involved in that and has months to figure it out. 374 00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: If you're Baltimore, the defense has looked awful. Lamar's on 375 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,359 Speaker 1: the sidelines for that, and so that to me is 376 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 1: legitimate reason for concern. All right, let's talk the Lions 377 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: side real quick, demanse well S. 378 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, they struggled in Week one versus Green Bay, but 379 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 2: they've been humming ever since. They are fifth in Super 380 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 2: Bowl odds. Do you think that's too high, too low, 381 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:10,680 Speaker 2: or just right? 382 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: I don't mind it. I listen. I've been really impressed 383 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: by how they've responded to that Week one performance and 384 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: last week putting fifty on the Bears, and this week, 385 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: I mean they've scored what ninety points in their last 386 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 1: two games after having six points going late, you know, 387 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 1: late in Week one. Really impressive. And Dan Campbell's game 388 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: management is excellent. That going for that fourth down was 389 00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 1: objectively the right call and a call a lot of 390 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: teams up seven wouldn't have done. And you know he 391 00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: is doing a lot to push towards will be fine 392 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: without Ben Johnson. So yeah, no, the Lions look really, 393 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 1: really good. By the way, if you're thinking about upgrading 394 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,280 Speaker 1: to the all new iPhone seventeen Pro, designed to be 395 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: the most powerful iPhone ever, but you're also thinking about 396 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,639 Speaker 1: the traffic on your way to the store or transferring 397 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 1: all your data, good news when you order a new 398 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: phone online with Boost Mobile, they'll send an expert to 399 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: your home.

Yeah, they're both looking at one and three 409 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 2: starts between the two. Who do you think has more 410 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 2: on the line? 411 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: I listen, I saw Orlovsky this morning, say it's clearly 412 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I know that the Chiefs are the team 413 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: that people have been far more panicked about than Baltimore. 414 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: I think people have this flatly wrong. It is to me, 415 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:34,479 Speaker 1: unquestionably Baltimore that has more on the line, and it 416 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: is for two very distinct reasons that apply to Baltimore 417 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 1: in a way they don't apply to Kansas City. The 418 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: first one is this, if we believe these even though 419 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: one of these teams is going to be one in 420 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: three that both of these teams still have Super Bowl aspirations, 421 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: and that Baltimore certainly still has Super Bowl aspirations. They 422 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: have to win this game for two reasons that are 423 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: related to each other. One is maybe by winning this game, 424 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: you won't have to go through Kansas City in the playoffs. 425 00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: And by winning this game, if you do have to 426 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: play Kansas City in the playoffs, you have some reason 427 00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: to believe you can beat them. Lamar and the Ravens 428 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 1: have lost five of the six games they've played against 429 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: Patrick and the Chiefs. They have lost four in a row. 430 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: They have lost in Baltimore, they have lost in Kansas City. Lamar, 431 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: who has the highest passer rating in the history of 432 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 1: the NFL, has an eighty passer rating against the Chiefs. 433 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:01,040 Speaker 1: Lamar has not played a singularly great game against Kansas 434 00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: City except for one time. The one time they won, 435 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: and I think that was thirty six thirty five after 436 00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire fumble and then Baltimore went for a 437 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: fourth down smartly late nice the game. There is a 438 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: massive psychological edge the Chiefs have over the Ravens, and 439 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 1: even if the Ravens win this game, they are not 440 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:28,360 Speaker 1: going to have a psychological edge on Kansas City, and 441 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: so like if the Ravens win, the Chiefs are not 442 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: going to if they were to play in the playoffs, 443 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: go into that game thinking we can't beat this team. 444 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: But if the Chiefs win, how can Baltimore credibly think 445 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: that the Chiefs don't simply have their number? And so 446 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:56,800 Speaker 1: I also think that the Ravens upcoming if they fall 447 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 1: to one in three, a team that, oddly to me, 448 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 1: and we talked about it a lot Tuesday, felt tight 449 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 1: and anxious in their game against Detroit. Their next two 450 00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: games home for the Texans with a great defense but 451 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: a terrible offense, and then home for the Rams. That's 452 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 1: concerning the Chiefs. Meanwhile, the game after this is Jacksonville. 453 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: Now you can say Jacksonville is better than Houston, and 454 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 1: I know they're two and one, Houston's zero to three, 455 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 1: and Jacksonville just beat Houston. It still feels to me 456 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: like Houston has a higher upside potentially than Jacksonville. So I. 457 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I was about to saying. 458 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: Right then, No, then they have the Lions. But I 459 00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:50,160 Speaker 1: also think because after the Lions, the Chiefs get Rashi 460 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: Rice back that there is a level of okay, like 461 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,080 Speaker 1: let's say they lose to Baltimore and lose to the 462 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: Lions and they beat Jacksonville and they're two and four. 463 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 1: Getting Rashi Rice back, I still feel like the team 464 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: psychologically will feel like, all right, yeah, now we're finally whole. Yeah, 465 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: let's just we're not gonna have home field, We're probably 466 00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 1: not gonna win the division. Let's just see if we 467 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: can get in and be scary. I and that is 468 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons that I just listen, I'm 469 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: not gonna panic about. 470 00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 3: It either for a few weeks. 471 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, well correct, Like, I just unless you are going 472 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 1: to go as far as to say Kansas City, I 473 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 1: fear is going to miss the postseason. I don't think 474 00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:52,239 Speaker 1: anybody actually believes they're not a terrifying team once the 475 00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: postseason begins, even if they get there by going ten 476 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: and seven. They got there by going eleven and six 477 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 1: two years go and won the Super Bowl, going to Buffalo, 478 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 1: going to Baltimore, and so I just I also think 479 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 1: there is a level of in the commentariat offensive bias 480 00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 1: that is showing up in the way we talk about Buffalo. 481 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry Baltimore in Kansas City. Kansas City's offense has 482 00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,920 Speaker 1: been its biggest concern. Kansas City's offense kind of across 483 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: the board is mid their average. They're thirteenth and this seventeenth, 484 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,400 Speaker 1: and that fourteenth and this fifteenth and that they're just average, 485 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: and that has caused massive concern. Baltimore's defense has been 486 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:54,160 Speaker 1: its problem, and they're awful in everything and that so 487 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: the side of the ball Kansas City is struggling on. 488 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: They're struggling to the two of being average. The side 489 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 1: of the ball Baltimore is struggling on. They're struggling to 490 00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: the tune of being horrible. And there is go ahead with. 491 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:10,760 Speaker 3: That said about Baltimore's defense. 492 00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:14,120 Speaker 2: If Kansas City still, if the offense still struggles, then 493 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 2: what yeah that even with that, Worthy's coming back too. 494 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:23,640 Speaker 1: So the so that's a good question. If they win 495 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: a low scoring game, I do, then that is great, 496 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 1: you know what I like. If they win, if they 497 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,640 Speaker 1: win the score the way they beat Baltimore in the 498 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: AFC Title Game seventeen to ten, then I and the 499 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 1: offense doesn't cook, but they win, I don't care. I 500 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: do not care if they don't. You know, so because 501 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:49,839 Speaker 1: I also but now if they let me, I'm gonna 502 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: say a bunch here. If they lose, If Baltimore scores 503 00:34:55,239 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 1: a ton and the Chiefs just can't keep up and 504 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: they lose twenty eight thirteen, something like that, that'll be 505 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: concerning about what the Chiefs offense actually is and how 506 00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: much just getting Rashi Rice back will fix it. I 507 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:22,040 Speaker 1: also have and I don't know if statistically this has 508 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,160 Speaker 1: been proven or even it can be backed up or anything, 509 00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: but it feels to me like very often games take 510 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:41,120 Speaker 1: on a personality, and like one of the reasons Cowboys 511 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:46,799 Speaker 1: Giants was high flying the way it was was the 512 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,600 Speaker 1: off one team's offense to get another team's offense. Does 513 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:56,400 Speaker 1: that make sense? Like it was that that game led 514 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:01,720 Speaker 1: to the personality. Almost of that game was quick drives, 515 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,240 Speaker 1: deep bombs. You score, I score, you score, I score. 516 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 1: The very next week, that same Giants offense played a 517 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,520 Speaker 1: Chiefs team that was stuck in the mud, long drives, 518 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: no explosives, and they didn't have any. So that's the 519 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,000 Speaker 1: same Giants offense right now. The Chiefs defense is obviously 520 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,280 Speaker 1: better than the Cowboys defense, but not thirty five points better. 521 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: You wouldn't think and yet that's you know, that's what 522 00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:37,440 Speaker 1: we got in that game. And so my point is this, 523 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:44,359 Speaker 1: I think the Ravens offense, I don't think this is 524 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 1: going to be a thirty one to twenty eight game. 525 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,480 Speaker 1: I think this is far more likely to be a 526 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,360 Speaker 1: because we the Eagles can be high flying and high scoring, 527 00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: the Chargers can be high scoring. Both teams have played 528 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,280 Speaker 1: the Chiefs and they the game has kind of taken 529 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:05,319 Speaker 1: on the personality of the current Chiefs, which is these 530 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:11,080 Speaker 1: long drives, fight for yards. And I don't think that's 531 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:15,320 Speaker 1: just because of the Chiefs defense. I think that, again, 532 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: I can't prove it, and maybe what I'm saying right 533 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:24,759 Speaker 1: now sounds weird, but I just think sometimes games take on, 534 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: like I said, a personality almost and there is somehow 535 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: a butterfly effect of one team's offense hitting deep shots 536 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,719 Speaker 1: leading to another team's offense hitting deep shots. It's just 537 00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 1: from my ex because here's the other thing that's really 538 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:47,720 Speaker 1: weird about kind of consuming football and how we feel 539 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:55,160 Speaker 1: watching it. So you would agree Tomanse that that Chiefs 540 00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:03,440 Speaker 1: Giants game, the Chiefs offense looked hard to watch and stagnant. Yeah, right, 541 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: that it was a bad offensive game and they finished 542 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,640 Speaker 1: with twenty It would have been twenty three, but twenty 543 00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:14,800 Speaker 1: two points because they missed the extra point. You would agree. 544 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: So the Chiefs in that game scored twenty two. You 545 00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: would agree that Ravens Lions. The Ravens offense was moving 546 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:27,040 Speaker 1: the ball seemingly at will, and the problem in that 547 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,320 Speaker 1: game wasn't the offense. 548 00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you would have. 549 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,840 Speaker 1: Felt that way even if they didn't get that garbage 550 00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,759 Speaker 1: time touchdown. You know, when they were down fourteen, The 551 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 1: Ravens going into garbage time of that game had twenty 552 00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,919 Speaker 1: four points, and it felt like the offense was doing 553 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:52,360 Speaker 1: whatever it wanted. The Chiefs fought and clawed an ugly football, 554 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,800 Speaker 1: scored twenty two points, and it felt like the offense 555 00:38:56,800 --> 00:39:01,399 Speaker 1: could do nothing. So again I'm not what I'm kind 556 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: of almost talking about. 557 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 3: Like ideas here Giants. 558 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 1: No, I agree, but the Giants defense is supposed to 559 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,759 Speaker 1: be decent, and we don't look at the Lions as 560 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:15,480 Speaker 1: a great defense. And so the point I'm making is 561 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:22,120 Speaker 1: sometimes you can score twenty four points and it can 562 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:26,040 Speaker 1: look it can feel like your offense was humming, and 563 00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,080 Speaker 1: you can score twenty three points and it can feel 564 00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 1: like your offense couldn't do anything, and so I just 565 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: feel like we are going to get a slugfest in 566 00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:44,239 Speaker 1: Kansas City where every yard is going to be, you know, 567 00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,759 Speaker 1: hard to get because and here's the other reason. I 568 00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 1: don't think Baltimore's past defense is as bad as the 569 00:39:55,680 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 1: numbers suggest. I think their run defense he's horrible, truly horrible. 570 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: And I just don't know if the Chiefs have the 571 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:13,320 Speaker 1: personnel to take full advantage of a horrible run defense 572 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:18,400 Speaker 1: like that. That was the story of Ravens Lions was 573 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 1: the run defense. And so I if there was ever 574 00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 1: gonna be a time for Pacheco to look like Pacheco 575 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 1: from a couple of years ago, this would be this game. 576 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,880 Speaker 1: I just don't know if they have it. I don't know, 577 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:36,360 Speaker 1: but I would you say, I do, go ahead. 578 00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,479 Speaker 2: Who do you think on your team needs to step 579 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 2: up the most in this game? 580 00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: I think this is what have I said about Travis. 581 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:52,799 Speaker 1: He's got five or six great games left in it. Yeah, 582 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 1: this would be a good time for one of them. Yeah, 583 00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:00,040 Speaker 1: He's he's had a rough start to the season, he 584 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:07,320 Speaker 1: has owned this matchup. Getting Worthy back should open things 585 00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 1: up in the middle of the field. A little bit 586 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:13,600 Speaker 1: more and Tae Kwan Thornton all of a sudden you 587 00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:17,920 Speaker 1: have to take him seriously at least as a deep threat. 588 00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: And so I this would be a nice Travis Kelce game. 589 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:28,399 Speaker 1: I am. I believe. Listen, I think Kansas City is. 590 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,960 Speaker 3: That's a crazy question, but you think. 591 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 1: Flad, Yes, absolutely, And now listen, I'm gonna be holding 592 00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: my breath on the Worthy stuff because we're only a 593 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:49,040 Speaker 1: few weeks removed from that shoulder dislocation, and he's gonna 594 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,279 Speaker 1: the further down the road we get, the stronger that 595 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 1: shoulder gets. So I don't think Worthy is gonna be 596 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:58,480 Speaker 1: like super featured in the game plan, but I think 597 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:02,000 Speaker 1: just having him out there should help quite a bit. Uh. 598 00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,760 Speaker 1: No surprise here. One of my picks on the gambling 599 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:06,360 Speaker 1: show is going to be the Chiefs plus the points 600 00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:09,759 Speaker 1: because I think they're gonna win. Uh, Demons and I 601 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,560 Speaker 1: will make We're gonna figure out some type of wager 602 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 1: to make on this game. It won't be financial, but 603 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: some type of wager to make on this game. Uh, 604 00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:22,240 Speaker 1: tomorrow during the Gambling Show. I have some ideas. I 605 00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,719 Speaker 1: think you have some ideas that it feels like it 606 00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:30,440 Speaker 1: can be financial on my end, but I the I 607 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,840 Speaker 1: won't I I listen, I won't. I won't accept the 608 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: request or the or the transfer if it's from you. 609 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: I'm not taking money from you. So it's gotta be more. 610 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: It's gotta be You are gonna have to do something 611 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna have to give something. Is I think 612 00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:52,240 Speaker 1: the way to make this bet feel something. We'll figure 613 00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 1: something out.
