Speaker 2: Welcome in Episode one ninety three, what's right with Nick Wright?
Speaker 2: Huge show, such a big show. I damn near forgot
Speaker 2: to tweet out the link. I'll do that as we speak.
Speaker 2: We have Monday night football game. We're going to do
Speaker 2: an NBA roundup on today's show. Uh. At the end
Speaker 2: of the A block, we have a aim to play.
Speaker 2: I had a great gambling weekend. Demanse not so much, unfortunately,
Speaker 2: but we persevere. Demonse, how are you this morning?
Speaker 3: I'm doing pretty good. How you doing feeling pretty great? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I'm you know, I'm doing People think that I root
Speaker 2: for the downfall of certain teams or players. It's just
Speaker 2: not true. I do root to be correct, to be vindicated,
Speaker 2: and for everyone to eventually get on the page I've
Speaker 2: been on. We will discuss that in just a moment,
Speaker 2: but first, what missed the cut? Here's what missed the
Speaker 2: cut on today's show. Aaron Rodgers turning by mid December.
Speaker 2: I'll believe it when I see it. John Harbaugh, Jim Harball,
Speaker 2: pardon me? Suspended for three games? And Kelsey and Swift
Speaker 2: steal headlines during the bye as she just it with
Speaker 2: total jubilance, runs into his arms. And I've got to
Speaker 2: tell you, I don't want to be hyperbolic, but I
Speaker 2: don't know if any team in NFL history has had
Speaker 2: a better bye week than the Chiefs. Let's go through it. Saturday,
Speaker 2: the world's biggest or second biggest pop star embraces our
Speaker 2: goat tight end. Sunday, the Bengals lose, the Chargers lose,
Speaker 2: the Jaguars lose, the Ravens lose. Monday, Patrick Mahomes goes
Speaker 2: on the Manning Cast. They're like, Hey, Patrick, how do
Speaker 2: you think this drive is gonna go? He's like, well,
Speaker 2: they're gonna run it on first down, run it on
Speaker 2: second down, then do a play action pass on third down.
Speaker 2: Check check check. Hey Patrick, how do you think they're
Speaker 2: gonna defend Josh Allen here? Oh, I think they're gonna
Speaker 2: do shell coverage with number forty two being the spy
Speaker 2: check check. And then the Bills lose in excruciating, franchise
Speaker 2: altering fashion. And by the way, Stefan Diggs's brother is like, Eh,
Speaker 2: maybe he needs to leave, which we'll get to in
Speaker 2: a moment. There it is right there. So if you're
Speaker 2: a Chiefs fan, pretty good week where you didn't even
Speaker 2: have to show up to work and you damn near
Speaker 2: locked up the one seed. Let's get into last night's game, Demansey.
Speaker 3: Yes, last night's game was obviously terrible. The Bills started
Speaker 3: the game off with two back to back turnovers. The
Speaker 3: turnover thing is obviously a huge problem with Josh Allen.
Speaker 3: How do you, as a Bills fan, think that this
Speaker 3: guy can take you to the super Bowl if he's
Speaker 3: turning the ball over so much?
Speaker 2: Well, listen, I we just have to be honest about
Speaker 2: who Josh Allen is as a player. We don't have
Speaker 2: to act like, oh my god, the guy's trash. Oh,
Speaker 2: do the Bills have a quarterback problem. They have an
Speaker 2: expectations problem. The media has a false equivalency problem. But
Speaker 2: there aren't six quarterbacks in the NFL you'd rather have
Speaker 2: than Josh Allen. The problem is he had been being
Speaker 2: discussed and the Bills operated as if there are not
Speaker 2: any quarterbacks you would rather have than Josh Allen. And
Speaker 2: the guy leads the league interno in interceptions this year.
Speaker 2: He has the most interceptions in the NFL since twenty
Speaker 2: twenty two, the most interceptions in the NFL since twenty
Speaker 2: twenty one, the most interceptions in the NFL since twenty twenty,
Speaker 2: the most interceptions in the NFL since twenty nineteen, the
Speaker 2: most interceptions in the NFL since twenty eighteen, he has
Speaker 2: the second most since twenty seventeen, and twenty seventeen he
Speaker 2: was playing at Wyoming, so that simply is who he is.
Speaker 2: The Bills built a team assuming that they had superman quarterback.
Speaker 2: They don't. They have a guy who has superman moments
Speaker 2: and a guy who has Ben Solac said this weeks ago,
Speaker 2: and I will reiterate it. He plays every game like
Speaker 2: it's the divisional playoff. Game against Kansas City where you
Speaker 2: have to score on every possession where you're going to lose.
Speaker 2: How many times this year have the Bills been in
Speaker 2: a position where if they just take care of the football,
Speaker 2: they'll win, and Josh doesn't let him do it. Game
Speaker 2: one of the season, Aaron Rodgers goes down, Josh throws
Speaker 2: three picks. A month ago, you're playing the woeful Patriots,
Speaker 2: who are coming off getting annihilated in back to back games.
Speaker 2: You throw a pick to start the game and give
Speaker 2: them hope. Yesterday, you're playing a Broncos team that, even
Speaker 2: though Russell Wilson is playing alright, the coach clearly doesn't
Speaker 2: trust him and wants to be as conservative as possible,
Speaker 2: and you give him great field position the entirety of
Speaker 2: the game because you're just addicted to turning the ball over.
Speaker 2: Those are three games you win if you take care
Speaker 2: of the football, and then you're still a flawed team,
Speaker 2: but you're instead of five and five, you're eight and
Speaker 2: two and in first place in the conference. If you
Speaker 2: can beat Zach Wilson, Mac Jones and the Denver Broncos,
Speaker 2: and in those games you have eight total turnovers by
Speaker 2: the quarterback, forget the rest of the team. That's not
Speaker 2: a sustainable model. So can they win a super Bowl
Speaker 2: one day? Maybe? Yeah, if you have a really good quarterback,
Speaker 2: you're gonna be in the mix. Can they win a
Speaker 2: super Bowl with this collection? No? And this is the
Speaker 2: drum I've been beating that, folks. And this is where
Speaker 2: I get a little irritated at times, I will admit,
Speaker 2: because the commentary that I got from friends, colleagues, children
Speaker 2: fans when discussing the Bills last year was that, Oh,
Speaker 2: you're threatened by them. The reason you're down on them
Speaker 2: is because it's Chiefs Bills. Bills Chiefs is because Alan
Speaker 2: Mahomes Mahomes Allen, and you're trying to tear him down
Speaker 2: to prop up your in your team. And the answer
Speaker 2: was no, I just see a guy who is the
Speaker 2: absolute epitome of a roller coaster quarterback, and I don't
Speaker 2: think you have a good enough infrastructure around him for
Speaker 2: that to be championship caliber. And folks tried to sell
Speaker 2: me on, oh, but they have so much talent, No,
Speaker 2: they don't. On offense, they have two aside from Allen,
Speaker 2: they have one excellent players, Stefon Diggs. Their offensive line
Speaker 2: is mediocre. They're running backs are mediocre. They're Knoxes, Knoxes
Speaker 2: above average. No, he's better than mediocre. He's above average.
Speaker 2: The Gabe Davis is a below average number two receiver
Speaker 2: that playoff game against the Chiefs, notwithstanding and knocks by
Speaker 2: the way hurt. Unfortunately, now defensively they've been ravaged by
Speaker 2: injuries and maybe that put a ceiling on their team.
Speaker 2: But even with those defensive injuries, they're eight and two
Speaker 2: if their quarterback doesn't turn the ball over. And they're
Speaker 2: now to the other part of it. Another thing that
Speaker 2: I pointed out when it happened, and folks thought I
Speaker 2: was trolling. I don't think they are well coached. And
Speaker 2: the Canarian the coal mine was last year to Monsey
Speaker 2: when if you remember, do you remember when Ken Dorsey
Speaker 2: in the booth was breaking things and throwing things and
Speaker 2: having a full blown melt down and folks were like, oh,
Speaker 2: it's the passion of the moment. He cares And I said,
Speaker 2: oh great, he's not even on the sideline. He's not
Speaker 2: a player. He's a grown ass man in the booth.
Speaker 2: I need to keep his head together and he's breaking things.
Speaker 2: That makes me feel like the job's too big for you.
Speaker 2: Anybody this is I don't care what job you're in.
Speaker 2: If you are in response to things going poorly at work,
Speaker 2: breaking or throwing things, that either the job's too big
Speaker 2: for you, or you're a little unstable, or all of
Speaker 2: the above. I don't care what you do for a living.
Speaker 2: If you have a boss who, when think you get
Speaker 2: a bad sales report, picks up his coffee mug and
Speaker 2: throws it across the room, that means there's either something
Speaker 2: wrong with that person or they know the job is
Speaker 2: too much for them and it's getting to them. I
Speaker 2: don't think there's anything wrong with Ken Dorsey. I think
Speaker 2: the job was too big for him. It's not I
Speaker 2: don't feel the exact same way as when like Dable
Speaker 2: the previous Oh just mother f's everyone on the sideline,
Speaker 2: because that's kind of like accepted in football, but it's
Speaker 2: like adjacent to it. But when you are a coordinator
Speaker 2: removed from everything, that to me was a legitimate, significant
Speaker 2: warning sign. And then this offseason when Stefan Diggs shows
Speaker 2: up to work and then leaves and nobody knew it
Speaker 2: was a big deal until Sean McDermott, the leader of
Speaker 2: the team came to the press conference, looked a deer
Speaker 2: in the headlights and goes how concerned, my very concerned,
Speaker 2: very concerned. And then the next day was like, why
Speaker 2: did everyone makes such a big deal out of it?
Speaker 2: I don't know what the problem is. And then the
Speaker 2: next day they canceled practice and we were told no, no, no,
Speaker 2: nothing to see here. A there was something to see there,
Speaker 2: as evidenced by the fact that Stefan's brother didn't make
Speaker 2: it through the season before saying that his brother's got
Speaker 2: to get out of there. That's first of all. Second
Speaker 2: of all, well, even if it's a five alarm fire,
Speaker 2: it's McDermott's job to make sure that stays in house.
Speaker 2: So there's that. There's the fact that this team that
Speaker 2: has not sniffed a Super Bowl in thirty years put
Speaker 2: in their practice facility a giant Panoramics Lombardi Trophy banner,
Speaker 2: as if that's our next step. No, your next step
Speaker 2: is getting back to where you were three years ago.
Speaker 2: Three years ago you made a conference championship game and
Speaker 2: got blown out by the Chiefs. Two years ago you
Speaker 2: played a wildly exciting Round two game. One year ago
Speaker 2: you got dog walked in your building in round two.
Speaker 2: It's a downward trajectories I've been saying. And now you're
Speaker 2: five and five. Now you have the same amount of
Speaker 2: wins as the Raiders, and the Colts bully for you.
Speaker 2: That's who the.
Speaker 3: Bills are all well.
Speaker 2: And then to get back to McDermott. But also demondsay
Speaker 2: to get back to McDermott. And then we'll get to
Speaker 2: the Josh Allen piece of it. You have twelve men
Speaker 2: on the field, on the field goal or you win.
Speaker 2: You win the game despite doing everything you can to
Speaker 2: lose it. You win the game. That's coaching. And then
Speaker 2: the coach me and Jeanie says this all the time,
Speaker 2: and it's a smart point, which is with parenting or
Speaker 2: with coaching, you have to be very careful on the
Speaker 2: behavior you reward or you give ada boys for because
Speaker 2: if it's a bad decision that ends in a good
Speaker 2: result and you pat them on the back and say
Speaker 2: well done, that affirms that behavior and then you lose
Speaker 2: the right to get upset when it goes wrong, when
Speaker 2: it goes poorly. So many of the plays that the
Speaker 2: Bills internally and the sports world externally have applauded Josh
Speaker 2: Allen for are bad plays, but they've worked. It has
Speaker 2: been oh my god, how did he fit that football
Speaker 2: in there? And now it's listen, there are certain times
Speaker 2: you've got to do it. It's third and long, you're
Speaker 2: down four, it's late in the game, you gotta take
Speaker 2: your shot. But a lot of those things plays are
Speaker 2: happening in the first quarter of one pm gickoff games
Speaker 2: where the Bills are eight point favorites, and it's like,
Speaker 2: holy look at the throw. All right, but if that's
Speaker 2: what you're rewarding, then don't get upset when at at
Speaker 2: the end of the first half last night he tries
Speaker 2: to make one of those throws to the sideline and
Speaker 2: you give the Broncos three points. And it's why people
Speaker 2: are like, oh, he's the modern Brett Farv man. Yes,
Speaker 2: Farv had a lot of this with him, but Farv
Speaker 2: also had a five year run where he was undoubtedly
Speaker 2: the best quarterback in the league, went to back to
Speaker 2: back Super Bowls and won one. So if you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: he's Brett Farv without the rings or the MVPs or
Speaker 2: you know, the alleged welfare theft scandal set that aside. Sure,
Speaker 2: but do you know what Brett Farv without the rings
Speaker 2: and the MVPs is Dante Calpepper. And I've been telling
Speaker 2: you that. I've been telling you he is not a
Speaker 2: modern day Brett Farv. He's a modern day Dante Calpeper.
Speaker 2: And there's nothing wrong with that. The what's wrong with
Speaker 2: is how we've been discussing it. And so yeah, and
Speaker 2: the other part of this is the Bills took their
Speaker 2: shot man. They they are not in a great cap situation.
Speaker 2: Von Miller was barely on the field last night. That's unfortunate,
Speaker 2: and it's bad luck that he got hurt. But when
Speaker 2: you sign an aging player to a six year, one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty million dollar contract when he's coming off
Speaker 2: an injury, that's the risk you run. And now they're
Speaker 2: up against the cap. Josh's contract is kicking in. Their
Speaker 2: only other really good offensive players seems unhappy. What do
Speaker 2: you do? You kind of start over around Josh and
Speaker 2: that clock gets ticking and then one other point that
Speaker 2: and this is why the most when people were like, oh,
Speaker 2: mahomes Allen, it's the latest Brady Manning, it always irritated me.
Speaker 2: Right now, there is no rival for the Chiefs and
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. Everybody thinks they're the Chiefs rival. I don't
Speaker 2: know who the Chiefs think their rival is, but people say, oh,
Speaker 2: it's the Bengals. Well, the Bengals right now are in
Speaker 2: ninth place, so they need to worry about making sure
Speaker 2: they don't miss the postseason, and then we can see
Speaker 2: if that rivalry can be reborn. The Bills at least
Speaker 2: had made a bunch of postseasons in a row, but
Speaker 2: they're now five and five. The point, the reason I'm
Speaker 2: making this point is, right, demanse, if the playoff standings
Speaker 2: hold quarterbacks who have played in consecutive postseasons, Mahomes is
Speaker 2: at six, it will be at six. You know, at
Speaker 2: the end of this year, if these standings hold, who
Speaker 2: do you think will be at the second most. I'll
Speaker 2: give you a hint. It's not in the AFC.
Speaker 3: It's not in the AFC. Yeah, would it be Stafford?
Speaker 2: No, because they missed last year and they're not.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah they did, they did.
Speaker 2: The answer is, I'll tell you the number. Dak at three,
Speaker 2: Jalen Is it will be at three. Trevor Lawrence brock
Speaker 2: Perty and Gino Smith will be at two. No one else,
Speaker 2: no other quarterback will have played in consecutive postseasons other
Speaker 2: than Geno Perty and Lawrence two in a row, Dak
Speaker 2: and Jalen at three in a row, and then Mahomes
Speaker 2: every year he's been the starter. The point, and listen,
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is at four in a row. But right
Speaker 2: now they're pacing to miss it. Joe Burrows at two
Speaker 2: in a row, they're pacing to miss it. I Herbert
Speaker 2: got to one. They're pacing to miss it. Cousins was
Speaker 2: it one, and now he's hurt, so he wouldn't be
Speaker 2: playing this year, even though I think they are going
Speaker 2: to make the postseason. The point is there, there is
Speaker 2: no team or player that right there. There is no
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning to Patrick Mahomess, Tom Brady. Maybe it'll be Burrow. Maybe,
Speaker 2: but Burrow's got a lot of catching up to do,
Speaker 2: and we'll talk about it this week. And his couple
Speaker 2: interceptions in the fourth quarter this week made it a
Speaker 2: hell of a lot more likely that his team's gonna
Speaker 2: be on the outside looking in in the postseason.
Speaker 3: All right, next, all right, I'm disgusted, So party in
Speaker 3: the Prince based disgusted because I faded Rock Party for
Speaker 3: the first time, I feel like off season and that
Speaker 3: came back to bike. But because this Prince guy is spoke,
Speaker 3: supposedly got this pedigree and he's better than Rock Party
Speaker 3: because he went to this college and this one middle school.
Speaker 3: So how did how did his pedigree help him in
Speaker 3: this game versus brock Perty He were obviously coming off
Speaker 3: the longest wind streak in the NFL. Niners lost the three.
Speaker 3: What happened?
Speaker 2: So what you said at the end there might have
Speaker 2: been what happened, But I'll get to that in a second. Listen,
Speaker 2: Trevor didn't play well. There's no ifs ans or bots
Speaker 2: about it. And Trevor didn't play well and he needs
Speaker 2: to play better now. Last year this was the exact
Speaker 2: time he turned his season around. They were three and
Speaker 2: seven and then they went on a run and he
Speaker 2: went on a run. This year, fortunately they're six and three.
Speaker 2: But statistically speaking, there's no denying it. He has not
Speaker 2: been the guy that I thought he would be this year.
Speaker 2: I thought he would be right alongside Mahomes as the
Speaker 2: leading MVP candidate, and he's given you what you know.
Speaker 2: He's averaging one passing touchdown a game. He has not
Speaker 2: been as good as I thought he would be, as
Speaker 2: good as he needs to be. Fumbling has been a problem,
Speaker 2: the interceptions hadn't been a problem until this week. And
Speaker 2: the team right now is six and three, which you
Speaker 2: would obviously have taken before the year. But his play
Speaker 2: has not lined up with their overall record in spots now.
Speaker 2: I think the touchdown numbers are a little misleading because
Speaker 2: they are a They've had turnovers in the red zone problems,
Speaker 2: which is some of that's on him. They've had a
Speaker 2: lot of bad fumbles, some of that's on him. Also,
Speaker 2: they are running the ball into the end zone disproportionate
Speaker 2: to how they're moving the ball down the field. And
Speaker 2: prior to this week they had had a lot of
Speaker 2: leads at halftime, so they're running more in the second half.
Speaker 2: But Trevor needs to be better. There is no denying
Speaker 2: whatsoever that Trevor has not been thus far this year
Speaker 2: the level of player that I said he was going
Speaker 2: to be. Now, do I still have faith that he
Speaker 2: is that level of player. Yes, to mention him for
Speaker 2: the second time on this, Bin Solak for the ringer
Speaker 2: is putting a lot of this on Press Taylor, the
Speaker 2: play caller for the Jacksonville Jaguars. That may or may
Speaker 2: not be a part of it, but Trevor needs to
Speaker 2: be better. So there's the Trevor piece of it. Now
Speaker 2: to the Niners piece of it, I folks, I think.
Speaker 2: So let me be very clear here. That was a
Speaker 2: really good win by the Niners, a really good game
Speaker 2: by brock Party. There is no denying it. If folks
Speaker 2: want this to have some massive impact on my opinion
Speaker 2: of brock Party, I'm sorry it doesn't. We knew that
Speaker 2: when he's got all the Avengers there and they're playing
Speaker 2: from ahead, he looks great. Now. I did not think
Speaker 2: they were gonna be playing from ahead. I thought Jacksonville
Speaker 2: was gonna put up more resistance, and I thought Jacksonville's
Speaker 2: offense was gonna be better. So that's not what the
Speaker 2: game turned into. But the questions that I had about
Speaker 2: Purty that reared their head during the losing streak of oh,
Speaker 2: if you're not dominating an opponent, are you able to
Speaker 2: be a force multiplayer for your team? Those questions still
Speaker 2: remain in spades now. Dominating the Jaguars makes the Niners
Speaker 2: as a team look even more formidable. And I said
Speaker 2: before the game that if the Niners won, they would
Speaker 2: be able to tell themselves and tell everyone, Look, when
Speaker 2: we are healthy, we're the best team in the league.
Speaker 2: Now do I believe that? I don't. Do they have
Speaker 2: the resume of it. They do. They're not only beating people,
Speaker 2: they're blowing people out when they're at full strength. But
Speaker 2: we knew that Brock Perdy could play that type of
Speaker 2: game under those circumstances. Reminded me a lot of the
Speaker 2: Cowboys game, where you're playing a tough opponent that's got
Speaker 2: a good defense, you get out to an early lead
Speaker 2: and you are cooking, and he was cooking. The throw
Speaker 2: to Kittle now, the first touchdown, Kyle Shannan said after
Speaker 2: the game was the worst decision he's made since he's
Speaker 2: been a Niner. It ended up being, you know, working
Speaker 2: out for him at the across his body into the
Speaker 2: end zone. His coach for don't take my word for it,
Speaker 2: his coach said, was the worst decision he's made. Brock said,
Speaker 2: was bad decision. The second touchdown, the pass to Kittle
Speaker 2: was unbelievable. He can't even set his fees. He's got
Speaker 2: a pass rush and he launches it. So I give him,
Speaker 2: you know, credit, but does it change my opinion of him?
Speaker 2: It does not. All right, next to.
Speaker 3: Mansej Stroud taking the league.
Speaker 2: Before we before sorry, before we do that?
Speaker 3: They wait, yeah, sorry, go ahead, Yeah, no, you you
Speaker 3: gave you gifted some tailgaters in Jacksonville or Duval five
Speaker 3: hundred buck yeah for some costume egos. And they tweeted
Speaker 3: out yes, so little shout out.
Speaker 2: So I'll go through this. So the these guys, uh done,
Speaker 2: and Andrew pardon me? They they're they they do some
Speaker 2: media with Jacksonville. They do a podcast there. They're massive
Speaker 2: Jags fans that cover the team, and they do for
Speaker 2: home games. I've seen it on social media. They do
Speaker 2: these Cosamigo's tailgates where they spin Cosameigo's bottles and they
Speaker 2: drank and you know, it's probably a little you know,
Speaker 2: maybe a little a little over indulgence, but whatever, it's
Speaker 2: good fun. It's football. And I saw that they were
Speaker 2: asking for donations for it, so I tweeted to him,
Speaker 2: how much are you all trying to raise here? And
Speaker 2: someone and uh their official account done, Andrew, I said, done,
Speaker 2: Andrew done, Andrew pardon me? Wrote you throw five dollars,
Speaker 2: will be grateful. So yeah, so I venmoed them what
Speaker 2: I thought would take care of all the cosamegos they needed,
Speaker 2: like bottles, so I sent them five hundred bucks. And
Speaker 2: then I, you know, because I'm damn near forty years old,
Speaker 2: I was like, please, you know, don't nobody get alcohol poisoning.
Speaker 2: I don't need that on my conscience. And then I said, reminder, kids,
Speaker 2: the paying for the Cosamigos and the Royal Trumpeters on
Speaker 2: first things first is free if you bet on the
Speaker 2: Jags plus three. Now that didn't work out for me,
Speaker 2: who's five hundred bucks. Then there's the Trumpeters cost, which
Speaker 2: they came just to mock me and I lost the bet,
Speaker 2: so that part didn't work out. This part was very
Speaker 2: cool though, however, which is they had this giant poster
Speaker 2: of a guy in a jag suit with my face
Speaker 2: and an actual jaguar on a leash and they were
Speaker 2: bringing it around the tailgate. So I listen. I still
Speaker 2: think the Jags are a good team. I do. I
Speaker 2: think they're the chiefs. No. Do I think they can
Speaker 2: look eye level with every other team in the AFC.
Speaker 2: I absolutely do, including your beloved Ravens and the who
Speaker 2: will talk about in a moment. But this was a
Speaker 2: rough game, but I'm glad they had a fun before
Speaker 2: the game. All right now, CJ. Stroud.
Speaker 3: So, c J. Stroud's obviously been great this year. He
Speaker 3: led another game winning drive versus the Bengals, and through
Speaker 3: nine games he's leading the leading the league in yards
Speaker 3: per game. So Stroud continues this, do you think he's
Speaker 3: a lock for a Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 2: Oh, there's no question he's locked for Rookie of the Year.
Speaker 2: It's almost more like Gret was already a lock for
Speaker 2: Rookie of the year. Great the greatest rookie quarterback season ever.
Speaker 2: The candidates are RG three's rookie year, Cam's rookie year,
Speaker 2: Herbert's rookie year, and Marino for half of his rookie
Speaker 2: season was unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. See right now, CJ. Stroud
Speaker 2: is outpacing all of them. And I am not ready
Speaker 2: to talk about him as league MVP, but he is
Speaker 2: four seeing his way into the conversation. They were without
Speaker 2: half a dozen starters this weekend and they're playing a
Speaker 2: desperate Bengals team, and he outplayed Burrow. Now, he also
Speaker 2: had his single worst play of the entire year, that
Speaker 2: pick at the end up ten, but he you know,
Speaker 2: recovered from it and he drove him down for once
Speaker 2: again another game winning drive. Now the reason I'm ready
Speaker 2: to go MVP yet is because fifteen days ago he
Speaker 2: got out played by by Bryce Young in a fifteen
Speaker 2: thirteen slugfest. But he's been awesome and I am ready
Speaker 2: to say he like I've seen enough from him to
Speaker 2: say we have another excellent quarterback in the league. The
Speaker 2: AFC once again has another great quarterback. Where the NFC,
Speaker 2: you know, the Panthers in the NFC. Of the one pick,
Speaker 2: they take Bryce Young, the Texans of the two pick,
Speaker 2: they take CJ. Stroud. He's clearly the better of the two.
Speaker 2: And then the guy, another guy who might be better
Speaker 2: than Bryce. Anthony Richardson was the Colts pick, but he
Speaker 2: got hurt so before I didn't see this coming. Before
Speaker 2: the draft, I said I didn't love any of these quarterbacks,
Speaker 2: but I would take Richardson one, probably because of the upside.
Speaker 2: CJ has been absolutely spectacular. The Bengals, on the other hand,
Speaker 2: are in real, real trouble now. The Bills loss helps them.
Speaker 2: But here we'll talk big picture in the kind of
Speaker 2: smaller picture. With the Bengals, big picture is this, it's
Speaker 2: not just that they're five and four, it's that all
Speaker 2: of their losses are conference losses, so they're not gonna
Speaker 2: have the tiebreaker seemingly with anybody except for teams they've
Speaker 2: beaten had to head, and of teams competing for that
Speaker 2: last playoff spot, the only team they've beaten had to
Speaker 2: head is Buffalo, and Buffalo might be playing themselves out
Speaker 2: of it. So big picture, they're in real dire straits
Speaker 2: and they play the Ravens on Thursday night, and it's
Speaker 2: kind of a playoff game for Cincinnati. Now the game itself,
Speaker 2: I understand folks are making the point that if Tyler
Speaker 2: Boyd catches that pass, they probably win the game. First
Speaker 2: of all, I'm not certainly win the game, because that
Speaker 2: would have put them up four with a minute forty
Speaker 2: five left, giving the ball back to CJ. Stroud, who
Speaker 2: has shown you in that scenario he can drive down
Speaker 2: the field and win. But second of all, is this, Yes,
Speaker 2: that the Burrow made that play at the end, but
Speaker 2: the fact of the matter is Burrow had a really
Speaker 2: rough outing and they scored a touchdown on the opening drive.
Speaker 2: On their next six drives, they gained thirty two total
Speaker 2: yards and had two first downs. Then in the fourth quarter,
Speaker 2: on back to back drives deep into the Texans territory,
Speaker 2: he threw brutal picks, uncharacteristic brutal picks, and that is
Speaker 2: to me as much of a reason why they lost
Speaker 2: as the boy drop. So the Bengals are in real trouble,
Speaker 2: and they had they won that game, they're sitting there
Speaker 2: at six and three, playing the Ravens on Thursday Night
Speaker 2: with a chance to take over first in the division. Instead,
Speaker 2: they're at five and four. You know, the five win
Speaker 2: teams in the AFC Vegas, Houston, Indie, Buffalo, Cincinnati, and
Speaker 2: the fact that Houston has the head toad tiebreaker with them,
Speaker 2: to me, is really concerning.
Speaker 3: All right, Next, you want to do your NBA roundup?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, go ahead, yep, exactly right, So go ahead, yeah.
Speaker 3: So we're three weeks into the NBA season and some
Speaker 3: storylines are starting to emerge. What's stuck out to you
Speaker 3: the most around the NBA?
Speaker 2: All right, So I'm I'm gonna go I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: go through every team. But I'm gonna try to rapid
Speaker 2: fire this in order of the standings. Okay, so we'll
Speaker 2: start in the East. Philly. I mean, they lost the
Speaker 2: opening night to Milwaukee. Since then, they've won eight in
Speaker 2: a row. MAXI totally unlocked, fifty point game. Embeid as
Speaker 2: good as he was last year. I said it a
Speaker 2: week I'll say it again right now. They look like
Speaker 2: the best team in the Eastern Conference. Boston is right
Speaker 2: there with them that, but Philly did just beat Boston
Speaker 2: had to head. Boston is, as advertised, a dominant defensive
Speaker 2: team with a ton of offensive talent. I think Jalen
Speaker 2: Brown he's played a little bit better, but I think
Speaker 2: he will. Those two teams have really separated themselves from
Speaker 2: everyone else. The story of the Pacers, story of Tyrese Haliburton,
Speaker 2: who continues to be one of the most underrated to
Speaker 2: me at this point, an unquestioned top twenty player in
Speaker 2: the league, one of the best true point guards in
Speaker 2: the league, but can also drop thirty any given night.
Speaker 2: The heat. You know, after the bad start, they won
Speaker 2: five in a row. Sneaky team, man, you know they're
Speaker 2: gonna be there at the end. They also still have
Speaker 2: all those assets they didn't trade for Dame, and you
Speaker 2: wonder if they have a move up their sleeve. Milwaukee
Speaker 2: a wildly disappointing six and four, a team that you
Speaker 2: have questions about. That's the other thing about Philly, real quick.
Speaker 2: Nick Nurse is the best coach Joel Embiid's ever had.
Speaker 2: You can see it showing up. And if the best
Speaker 2: teams in the East are supposed to be Philly, Boston,
Speaker 2: Milwaukee and Miami, two of them have great champion coaches
Speaker 2: Philly and Miami, one of them as a rookie head
Speaker 2: coach and Adrian Griffin, who the early results are not great.
Speaker 2: And the other one is Joe Missoula, who the year
Speaker 2: plus results are not great from a coaching standpoint. The
Speaker 2: Hawks are one of the better stories, but they're a
Speaker 2: team I don't really take seriously. And right now the
Speaker 2: Cavs are getting Garland back, they should be able to
Speaker 2: get it together. I with the Orlando the story is
Speaker 2: Paolo and Franz and I like that one two combo.
Speaker 2: The Knicks of the Knicks. I know Knicks fans want
Speaker 2: me to be excited about them. We know exactly who
Speaker 2: they are. The other story there are two other stories
Speaker 2: in the East. One is are the Bulls gonna blow
Speaker 2: it all up? And is DeRozan and or Levine gonna
Speaker 2: become available? And the Washington Wizards being the most hilarious
Speaker 2: basketball team ever put together. I mean every night. Last
Speaker 2: night they allowed a twenty two to one run to
Speaker 2: end the game, twenty two to one run in the
Speaker 2: final seven minutes of the game. I mean, they are
Speaker 2: the Jordan Pee stuff is just high comedy and it's
Speaker 2: just better than anyone could have ever hoped for. All
Speaker 2: Right now to the West, Denver looks to me like
Speaker 2: the best team once again. And I listened. The Jamal
Speaker 2: Murray injury is concerning, and hamstrings are tricky, but right
Speaker 2: now it does does feel like the only thing that's
Speaker 2: gonna stop them for making the finals again would be injuries.
Speaker 2: Joker is as good as he was last year. I
Speaker 2: mean they lost on Sunday. He had thirty six, twenty
Speaker 2: one and eleven. And they've been the best team and
Speaker 2: there go ahead, I mean they.
Speaker 3: Had I mean no, no, I said no, I said man,
Speaker 3: I said, Okay, we'll get to.
Speaker 2: Them in a second. Uh No, I was gonna talk
Speaker 2: about Dallas before that. Dallas looks Luca. Look, I'm just
Speaker 2: going down the standings. Luca looks unbelievable, and Dallas is
Speaker 2: satan to Denver, saytan too, I'm just going right down
Speaker 2: the standings.
Speaker 3: No, I was. I wasn't saying like, of course, like
Speaker 3: you're going over to Luca. I was just saying, cot,
Speaker 3: I got you.
Speaker 2: And Kyrie, after a slow start to the year, has
Speaker 2: played better as of late. Uh. Their rookie Derek Lively
Speaker 2: is playing pretty damn well for a rookie like the
Speaker 2: Dallas right now after a disastrous season last year has
Speaker 2: to feel great. Particularly, I mean, Luca is right now
Speaker 2: a top three MVP candidate along with the guys who
Speaker 2: have won the last four m vps and Joker and
Speaker 2: Embiid or the last three MVPs, pardon me with Joker
Speaker 2: and Embiid, and then the Minnesota Rudy Gobert looks healthy
Speaker 2: and dominant defensively again, ant Man is a superstar. He
Speaker 2: is a superstar and so much fun to watch and
Speaker 2: maybe our best hope for one day once again, the
Speaker 2: best player in the world being an American because Jokich,
Speaker 2: Luca Jannis, there's oh Embiid, embiid Wimby if he you know,
Speaker 2: years down the road. Shae is Canadian like we the
Speaker 2: so yeah, we'll get to them. The Rockets Emo O
Speaker 2: Dook is a great coach man, He's a great coach.
Speaker 2: Wilde's guys. Shingoon has been awesome. They've won six in
Speaker 2: a row and they're a real team. Now. I beat
Speaker 2: the Nuggets and Shingoon, you know, did some work. I fred.
Speaker 2: I don't obviously like Brooks, but they're well put together,
Speaker 2: grown up team. Now, okayc all this talent. Chet's only
Speaker 2: gonna get better. They're really scary. Sacramento stabilized after the
Speaker 2: brutals start, and now get Fox back. They should be
Speaker 2: as they were last year. Golden State is really right now,
Speaker 2: living off Steph Curry's singular greatness. I mean, Steph is
Speaker 2: somehow maybe as good as ever at thirty five years old,
Speaker 2: not supposed to happen, but a step slow, but he's
Speaker 2: still getting in the basket. He's so good man, he's
Speaker 2: so good. Clay looks a year older, Draymond looks a
Speaker 2: year older. The young guys haven't left like Golden State.
Speaker 2: I mentioned those top three MVP candidates. Steph would be
Speaker 2: right there after that. Speaking of guys who shouldn't be
Speaker 2: this good at this age, you have Lebron having another
Speaker 2: unbelievable season and the Lakers getting this win on Sunday
Speaker 2: against the woebegone Blazers. Was it the Blazers, No, it
Speaker 2: was the Blazers, but it wasn't Sunday. Maybe that was Saturday,
Speaker 2: whenever that was Uh, it was Saturday. I think that
Speaker 2: was Sunday. No that yeah, the yeah, that was Sunday.
Speaker 2: That's right. Lebron missed. Ad was excellent in that game,
Speaker 2: and the Lakers stabilized as well after a shaky start.
Speaker 2: And by the way, the Lakers upcoming schedule, they could
Speaker 2: rip they Memphis, Sacramento at home. Lakers haven't lost at
Speaker 2: home at Portland, home for Houston, home for Utah before
Speaker 2: an awesome home matchup against Dallas, like they really should
Speaker 2: be able to win four of their next five. After
Speaker 2: the Lakers is Phoenix. I don't believe in that team.
Speaker 2: I don't trust that team. I don't know what's going
Speaker 2: on with Devin Booker's injury. Kdi's been really good. The
Speaker 2: rest of it doesn't make sense. They are to me,
Speaker 2: they are on play in alert. The Pelicans after a
Speaker 2: great start lost five in a row. Zions like, I'm
Speaker 2: doing my best to buy in.
Speaker 3: That's not great.
Speaker 2: I didn't love that. And then listen, the Grizzly season
Speaker 2: is over. It's over before it started. Shocker, the twenty
Speaker 2: five games suspension from John Morant plus the Steven Adams injury.
Speaker 2: You can't sustain it, you know what I mean with
Speaker 2: that said? They did just get a win because they
Speaker 2: got to play the Clippers, and the Clippers I said
Speaker 2: it before they lost. The Grizzlies are going to miss
Speaker 2: the playoffs. And I'm not gonna address the old Clippers,
Speaker 2: you know, the Lou Williams clip like, oh, we heard
Speaker 2: the bubble ring wouldn't count that much, so we took
Speaker 2: our foot off the guests. Give me a break. You
Speaker 2: were up every one on the Nuggets and you had
Speaker 2: twenty leagues in all of the games that you could have.
Speaker 2: It was just terrible. It's just such excuse making. But
Speaker 2: that team does not fit, does not work. They're gonna
Speaker 2: get rolled by the Nuggets tonight. And then what do
Speaker 2: you do if you're the Clippers. You'll be oh and
Speaker 2: six since the hardened trade. Oh and five when he plays.
Speaker 2: You were down fourteen in the fourth quarter of the Grizzlies,
Speaker 2: you made a comeback with Harden on the bench. You
Speaker 2: then put him back in with two and a half
Speaker 2: minutes left because you feel obligated. Russ got pissed. You
Speaker 2: took him out and Harden air balls a three. I
Speaker 2: mean you him your building. Yeah, no, of course, and
Speaker 2: Russ is playing for the league minimum. I think we
Speaker 2: lost my connection here, Demonse. You got to carry us. Oh, oh,
Speaker 2: we lost my camera. But they can hear they can
Speaker 2: they could still hear me. Evidently, I don't know what's
Speaker 2: going on the camera.
Speaker 3: Oh crap, point up in the air.
Speaker 2: You're fine, buddy, I got it. We'll take a quick break.

Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in episode one ninety three, What's
Speaker 2: right with Nick? Right? Just so you guys know, I'm
Speaker 2: only seeing myself, so I can't see Demonse's face. But
Speaker 2: I'm sure you guys will fix that in a moment. Uh,
Speaker 2: there we go, now I see everybody, Uh demands some
Speaker 2: breaking news during the break. Who could have seen this one? Coming.
Speaker 2: What's the breaking news?
Speaker 3: Breaking news, Offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey has been fired. Apparently
Speaker 3: the guys, the high ups have been listening to the
Speaker 3: pod and use the judgment call and got them out
Speaker 3: of the building.
Speaker 2: I mean, so here's the thing. I'm listen. I'm never
Speaker 2: having somebody lose their job, So I'm not gloating about that.
Speaker 2: I'm not, no, no, no, I'm being very sincere here.
Speaker 2: Having one of the worst things about having a public
Speaker 2: facing job is the world finds out moments after you
Speaker 2: find out you've been let go. It'll happen to me
Speaker 2: one day, you know what I mean, Like bep, like ah,
Speaker 2: you show got canceled, Like you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: So I'm legitimate, like I'm not reveling in that in
Speaker 2: any degree because I don't think he's a bad guy.
Speaker 2: It My satisfaction in the moment is coming from the
Speaker 2: fact that sometimes but there there are certain things that
Speaker 2: folks try to act like are meaningless but I ain't
Speaker 2: deep down they know or meaningful. And I'm gonna go
Speaker 2: back to that freak out in the booth. That was
Speaker 2: a meaningful moment, That was a meaningful HM. Put a
Speaker 2: pin in that and remember it moment, and it to
Speaker 2: me was indicative of a team and a culture that
Speaker 2: is unable to stay even keeled. And two weeks ago
Speaker 2: when the Bills were, you know, on teetering on the brink,
Speaker 2: when all of a sudden you hear Josh Allen talking about,
Speaker 2: you know, I wanna I don't want to get too high,
Speaker 2: but I don't want to get too low. I'm trying
Speaker 2: to stay low positive like it's a team that is
Speaker 2: not does not have its day to day emotions in check. Now,
Speaker 2: I do think it's fair to ask this question if
Speaker 2: if they don't have twelve men on the field, on
Speaker 2: the field goals Ken Dorsey fired this morning, Probably not,
Speaker 2: and that's not his fault, but that's that's that's on
Speaker 2: the specie coordinator. But it's but it's really on the
Speaker 2: head coach. I mean, that's you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: that's actually on the head coach. And so, you know,
Speaker 2: is there a little bit of ass covering by Sean
Speaker 2: McDermott here, maybe, But you can't have Josh Allen once
Speaker 2: again being a turnover machine. And I do think there
Speaker 2: are folks that are saying, man, the one time in
Speaker 2: his career where it looked like he had the turnovers
Speaker 2: in check. Brian Dabele was here, but before and after that,
Speaker 2: he didn't you look confused about something? Go ahead?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was like Brandy fans that might be wondering.
Speaker 3: Maybe it's a stupid question, but how does an extra
Speaker 3: ban even end up being on the field someone?
Speaker 2: So it's very So it's this regard your field goal
Speaker 2: block defense and your regular defense. Some guys are on
Speaker 2: both units. So there's certain guys that come on for
Speaker 2: field goal and go off and someone who was supposed
Speaker 2: to go off thought they were supposed to stay on.
Speaker 2: That's how it happens, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 2: just you had seven come on and only six come off,
Speaker 2: and that's what happened. And the problem is this. It
Speaker 2: was Yes, it was a rushed operation because the Broncos
Speaker 2: did something incredibly somewhat audacious, which is run a play,
Speaker 2: have the clock run, and then kind of do a
Speaker 2: fire drill thing there. But the Bills had taken two
Speaker 2: timeouts in the plays leading up to that, so you
Speaker 2: knew this drive they were taking knees and the Bills
Speaker 2: were taking timeouts knee bills, time out. You knew it
Speaker 2: was ending in a field goal. You would think a
Speaker 2: well coached team would be very buttoned up on who's
Speaker 2: on and who's off the field. But Ken Dorsey out
Speaker 2: as the coordinator for the Buffalo Bills, go ahead.
Speaker 3: Sure, Trayvon Diggs is coming at John h Allen, and
Speaker 3: he tweeted, uh, he didn't even start going off until
Speaker 3: he until he got until Bro got there. So it's
Speaker 3: it's just an all out Oh wow, Yeah, I mean
Speaker 3: that is I don't know what type of like, uh,
Speaker 3: what type of like is that? What isn't that pretty bad?
Speaker 2: Well, here's the thing. Yes, it is now theoretically stefan
Speaker 2: like you're not accountable. So here's the thing. Let's put
Speaker 2: it like this. And I know these are two brothers
Speaker 2: and we're a father and son, but let's say, let's
Speaker 2: just say, for the sake of this discussion, you didn't
Speaker 2: work at Fox. Okay, if you tweeted, man, wild sucks,
Speaker 2: it's ruining Nick Show, and just say and work at Fox.
Speaker 2: Because of the relationship that we have that you and
Speaker 2: I have, it is a stinging indictment on what I
Speaker 2: think of wilds right in that scenario, because people know
Speaker 2: you and I are close, you know, you and I.
Speaker 2: You and I talk. If if your mom's brother, who
Speaker 2: I like a lot but I talk to maybe once
Speaker 2: every couple of years, if he tweeted something about the
Speaker 2: show and then people are like, yo, this guy, I
Speaker 2: think I'd be like, hey, listen, I mean that is family.
Speaker 2: But he and I, you know, that's just what do
Speaker 2: you want me to do? That's his opinions. Nothing can
Speaker 2: do about it. I think Trayvon and Stefan are very publicly,
Speaker 2: very tight, and that's why it's a problem, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like, it's not like Stefan can be like, man,
Speaker 2: I don't even mess with that dude. Like they are
Speaker 2: publicly right, but not. But my point is, not all brothers,
Speaker 2: not all siblings are close, right, these two guys are
Speaker 2: publicly close. So you're not like accountable for things other
Speaker 2: your significant others or whomever says, but you are to
Speaker 2: a degree if everyone knows you guys are close and
Speaker 2: you talk and you know what I mean. And so
Speaker 2: that's why that's why this is a bad one. That's
Speaker 2: why it's gonna be weird one.
Speaker 3: Like what's gonna happen next week? Like you got a game?
Speaker 3: Your brother just publicly said like your quarterback has only
Speaker 3: started a bloom once you showed up. Like what, yeah,
Speaker 3: you put your brother in a bad situation. Uh, correct,
Speaker 3: it's but right.
Speaker 2: No, I agree put them in a bad situation. But
Speaker 2: so here's here's the thing to again use the analogy.
Speaker 2: Let's say you did tweet something. You tweeted something super
Speaker 2: negative about one of my coworkers. All right, the the
Speaker 2: reaction could be, Man, Demonse is really putting Nick in
Speaker 2: a bad spot. The reaction also could be Nick wanted
Speaker 2: him to do that. Nick needs a little bit of
Speaker 2: plausible deniability, right, But Demanse's not doing this unless you know.
Speaker 2: And again that's where I don't know the full details
Speaker 2: of their relationship. But like, you know what, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: go ahead and put myself. I'm put my career in
Speaker 2: your hands. I'm telling you guys this right now. If
Speaker 2: Demonse ever tweets something really sideways about Bruce Haard, it
Speaker 2: came from me. He wouldn't do it without me asking
Speaker 2: him to, like me. So I don't know about Trayvon
Speaker 2: and step On it. And again it's different because where
Speaker 2: father's son is supposed to brothers, like, it could be
Speaker 2: that step On was like, no, man, don't do it.
Speaker 2: He's like, man, screw that. The world needs to know
Speaker 2: I'm doing it, so you don't know. But it doesn't
Speaker 2: make things easy at work. Maybe a better example than
Speaker 2: you and me would be your mom. If your mom
Speaker 2: all of a sudden was tweeting stuff about my job,
Speaker 2: it would look bad upon me. Even if I was like, man,
Speaker 2: I don't what do you I can't control her, what
Speaker 2: do you want me to do? People would still be like, eh,
Speaker 2: but what are you saying? Even if even what are
Speaker 2: you saying? That led her, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: led her to led her to say it? All right,
Speaker 2: let's play it quickly. We've gone late today. I apologize. Uh,
Speaker 2: let's quickly go to the game.
Speaker 3: Time for a little all in her fold today. First off,
Speaker 3: we got the Patriots after an embarrassing loss in Germany
Speaker 3: to the Colts, where mac Jones has been benched for
Speaker 3: the third time this year. New England is going into
Speaker 3: a buy at two and eight. They currently have the
Speaker 3: number three pick in the draft. All in her fold,
Speaker 3: it's better for the Patriots to lose at this point
Speaker 3: in the season.
Speaker 2: Uh, I mean, it's obviously all in yes, Winning the
Speaker 2: Giants game would be disastrous for them. Like they've gotta
Speaker 2: they've got to try to get a top two pick.
Speaker 2: They've got to try to lose out. There's no question
Speaker 2: about That's honestly.
Speaker 3: What it seemed like was going on last night in
Speaker 3: the Bills Broncos game. It seems like the broncoser they
Speaker 3: were both trying to fight for a number one, number
Speaker 3: one pick of the.
Speaker 2: Yeah, except they're both in the playoff ring, right, I
Speaker 2: mean it is Demanti after the bye, It's Patriots Giants
Speaker 2: one of the worst games ever. It's gonna be I mean,
Speaker 2: Tommy DeVito and Mac. I mean, my god, all right.
Speaker 3: Next, Yeah, Kyler Murray. After tearing his ACL a year ago,
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray returned to the field and led a game
Speaker 3: winning drivers the Falcons. Great for him, but horrible for
Speaker 3: the Cardinals. If they wanted Caleb Williams all interfold, Kyler
Speaker 3: Murray should be the Cardinals franchise quarterback, not kayleb No.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you get if I don't think they're
Speaker 2: gonna get the number one pick. If you get the
Speaker 2: If you get the number one pick, though, you gotta
Speaker 2: draft Kala. I listen, I'm still rolling with Caleb. I
Speaker 2: understand that the team hasn't won, you know, lately, or
Speaker 2: is only one once lately. I get that. Still, I
Speaker 2: don't think Caleb's the problem at USC that that game, though,
Speaker 2: almost went exactly what I was saying it needed to,
Speaker 2: where Kyler shows flashes, but they find a way to
Speaker 2: lose if they had just missed the field goal at
Speaker 2: the end. But the I listen, they might end up
Speaker 2: with like the fourth pick and the twentieth pick from
Speaker 2: the Texans and just have no choice.
Speaker 3: Just good, get some pieces, yeah, yeah, gets around him.
Speaker 2: If you're the Cardinals, I would say maybe there are
Speaker 2: some Cardinal fans that really like Kyler and are like, man,
Speaker 2: if we could just get the third pick and draft
Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison Junior, get him a stud receiver, use the
Speaker 2: Texans pick on a defensive player, and just get going.
Speaker 2: All right, next, all right?
Speaker 3: The Lions proved once again they are one of the
Speaker 3: scariest teams in football. Is their offense kept rolling against
Speaker 3: the Chargers in a forty one to thirty eight win.
Speaker 3: With Golf playing some of his best football and Gibbs
Speaker 3: finally getting involved, they look pretty unstoppable all in or
Speaker 3: fold Detroit has the best offense in the NFL.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna fold that they're the best offense in the NFL.
Speaker 2: They might be, but I'm all in that this is
Speaker 2: a very legitimate contender. I'm also all in on the
Speaker 2: fact that all the anti math, anti analytics Charlatans were
Speaker 2: awful quiet after a game where the team's two teams
Speaker 2: Stali and Dan the Man Campbell WI combined eight fourth downs,
Speaker 2: they got seven of them, including the Lions doing the
Speaker 2: audacious butt correct, we can kick the go ahead field
Speaker 2: goal on fourth and two with a minute forty left,
Speaker 2: or we can recognize if we get one first down,
Speaker 2: we can make sure that Herbert doesn't get the ball back.
Speaker 2: They went for it and got it if they had
Speaker 2: if they had gone for it and not gotten it,
Speaker 2: they would have been killed. Dan Campbell didn't care, and
Speaker 2: for Staley, if Staley had done something like that not
Speaker 2: got it, they probably would have fired it. But so
Speaker 2: shout out to the Lions for doing it and for
Speaker 2: both teams being so aggressive on fourth downs.
Speaker 3: Next, all right, Josh Doabbs came out with another great performance,
Speaker 3: so lead the Vikings to another win. They are now
Speaker 3: in the longest winning streak in the NFL all in
Speaker 3: her fold, Dobbs will lead the Vikings to the playoffs.
Speaker 3: Who think the Vikings have the long winning streak.
Speaker 2: I mean, they're definitely going to the playoffs. I mean,
Speaker 2: here's the thing, Like you look at the NFL standings
Speaker 2: right now. Philly, Dallas put him in. Detroit put him in.
Speaker 2: Winner of the NFC South, call it. The Saints put
Speaker 2: him in, even though I don't think Saints are gonna
Speaker 2: win the division just because they have the best record. Niners,
Speaker 2: Seahawks put him in. That's six after them. The Lions
Speaker 2: are I'm sorry. The Vikings are competing with the four
Speaker 2: win Commanders, the four win Bucks and Falcons, the three
Speaker 2: win Rams. Like, no, the Vikings are gonna make the playoffs.
Speaker 2: All right, quick break, I'm back answer your questions. What's right?
Speaker 2: All right? Welcome back in What's Right with Nick? Right,
Speaker 2: and it's episode one ninety three. In this episode of
Speaker 2: What Triy is brought to you by the McDonald's app.

Speaker 2: higher than a restaurant's delivery, and other fees may apply.
Speaker 2: Copyright twenty twenty three McDonald's. All right to Montay, let's
Speaker 2: quick we go through a few questions here.
Speaker 3: All right now, my actual name asked. Do you think
Speaker 3: the Chiefs defense being really good actually hurts the offense
Speaker 3: because they're always playing with the lead and Andy gets
Speaker 3: safe with plays.
Speaker 2: I don't think that hurts the offense. I think it
Speaker 2: might hurt their stats. Yeah, I mean I do. I
Speaker 2: think the Chiefs offense could be more explosive this year
Speaker 2: if they had to be Yes, there's only one game
Speaker 2: all year where they needed to be able to move
Speaker 2: the ball and couldn't, and that was they moved the
Speaker 2: ball in the Lions game. They just dropped passes the
Speaker 2: Broncos game, and that was like a stinging indictment because
Speaker 2: it's like, oh my god, this Broncos defense is horrific.
Speaker 2: It allowed seventy points. But the fact of the matter
Speaker 2: is that Broncos defense since that seventy point game has
Speaker 2: been solid. The Broncos defense allowed seventeen to the Jets,
Speaker 2: nine to the Chiefs, force four turnovers, and twenty two
Speaker 2: points of the Bills. Broncos even's been a lot better.
Speaker 2: I think the Chiefs offense is gonna be fine, and
Speaker 2: I think that the I mean the Chiefs are by
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving might have the one seed damn near locked up,
Speaker 2: depending on what happens this week, if the Bengals beat
Speaker 2: the Ravens all right.
Speaker 3: Next, Jonathan Park asked, is Dobb's the best quarterback named Josh?
Speaker 2: He's having the best season, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: Next, Chad Are asked, when do we get to stop
Speaker 3: pushing putting Josh Allen in the top group of quarterback.
Speaker 2: Well the listen, this was on our First Things first call.
Speaker 2: Somebody was like, do we want to have the is
Speaker 2: Josh Allen elite conversation? The problem is we don't have
Speaker 2: a universally agreed upon definition of elite like the if.
Speaker 2: In my opinion, right now, there are there is one
Speaker 2: quarterback that has like transcended criticism, and it's Mahomes. He's
Speaker 2: clearly the best player in the league. There are then
Speaker 2: two quarterbacks that have that fairly have the claim we're
Speaker 2: next the next best, and that's Burrow and Hurts. Then
Speaker 2: there's a group of.
Speaker 3: Lamar Jack go ahead, probably want to make that like
Speaker 3: a three the little three leg tier or whatever. Mahomes
Speaker 3: and then three legs at the bottom.
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't think Lamar is on the
Speaker 2: level of Burrow or Hurts. I don't I think Lamar's
Speaker 2: on that next I think that well, I just I
Speaker 2: just haven't. I haven't seen him come through in enough
Speaker 2: big spots. The numbers this year are not overwhelming. I
Speaker 2: would have Lamar on that next level. That next level
Speaker 2: is Lamar. I you know, I would like to say
Speaker 2: Trevor's there, but he's not no, Uh, Trevor right now
Speaker 2: hasn't earned it. But Lamar Josh Dak that kind of
Speaker 2: grouping of guys Herbert maybe maybe I don't know, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Herbert's probably won the next level below.
Speaker 2: So like, what is what is elite? What is great?
Speaker 2: I don't know? All right.
Speaker 3: Next, Matthew Quintero asked question for Nick, why is Kelsey
Speaker 3: the tight ing the tight end goat over? Gronk is
Speaker 3: better than him?
Speaker 2: No, he is better than him. Listen, Gronk is the
Speaker 2: greatest red Zone tight end ever.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: But Travis Kelcey the longevity of it, the fact that
Speaker 2: he was dominant with Alex Smith, not just with Mahomes. Like,
Speaker 2: all I love Gronk, but Travis Kelcey has has surpassed him.
Speaker 3: All right. Last one, Dusty said, need that trenchitty demonte
Speaker 3: has on? Are those sold in the shop?
Speaker 2: We might be sold out, Dusty, but I'll find you.
Speaker 2: I'll find your one, and I'll give you a five
Speaker 2: percent friends and family discount. All right. I gotta get
Speaker 2: to work.

Speaker 2: herd and then do my show. Should be a fun day.
