1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: Welcome in What's Driving the Grid Episode four oh one.

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: First four hundred episodes of this show, we did the

3
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs were the pre eminent contender in the NFL. Episode

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: four oh one is our first show with the Chiefs

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: out of contention almost entirely. It's a brave new world

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: for the rest of this NFL season, and we'll get

7
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: all into it. This episode of What's Right with the

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: Grid is presented to you by boost Mobile demands, how

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: are you great? To see you look fantastic? I'm doing

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: Rested is now officially one month old. The all right,

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: this is really embarrassing, and I you know, I have

12
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: strengths and weakness since as a parent now also a grandparent.

13
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: Is her birthday November eighth or ninth? It's the ninth,

14
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: the ninth. Okay, that's what I thought. That's what I thought.

15
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: But I got one month old pictures yesterday. It was

16
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: the eighth, and I was born.

17
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 2: Like was this and a half? Yeah you, but yeah,

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 2: she was born.

19
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: She was born in the middle of the night the

20
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: eighth into the ninth. Got it, Okay, good, I have it. Okay,

21
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: that's what I thought. Feel better about it. That picture,

22
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: the pictures of your baby were really the only good

23
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: things I got this weekend, So that was good, and

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: people did seem to like the way we opened First

25
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: Things First yesterday. I don't know who votes on Sports Emmys,

26
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: but if Sports Emmys are voted on by quote tweets,

27
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: We're crushing. We're gonna We're gonna annihilate it. Uh So

28
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: we do have to get to the Kansady Chiefs. We

29
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: do have to get to uh an unbelievable Monday night

30
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: football game. And I'm just telling you. I said this

31
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: off the air, I'm saying it on the air now.

32
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: Misery loves company and there is no silver lining to

33
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: this Chief season. But the only way that I'll be

34
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: able to survive it is I might turn into the

35
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: next few months a world class hater. I'm just letting

36
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: everyone know. I'm letting listen. I've got the I have

37
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: some carve outs. I have a soft spot in my

38
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: heart for Matt Stafford in the Rams. I obviously like

39
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: Baker and the Bucks, the Prince and the Jags. Sneaky

40
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: just winning games. And you know what, I've always said

41
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: that I do believe at some point the Buffalo Bills

42
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: are gonna get over and no better time than now.

43
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: And again, the hater in me also feels like having

44
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: the yeah but yeah, but you won the super Bowl

45
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: the year Mahomes wasn't in the playoffs. It's like any

46
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: super like. Uh So those teams I feel good about

47
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: and I can see myself pulling for once the playoffs begin.

48
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: Everybody else, but most notably the Philadelphia Eagles. Folks, we're

49
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: our ship is sinking together. Baltimore Ravens, you're you might

50
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: be overboard before me. Cincinnati Bengals. I don't even really

51
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: think about the Bengals anymore, but they did beat the

52
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs once upon a time in a playoff game. You

53
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: got nine losses already, the we're all we are all

54
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: falling together. I got nothing against the Lions, but you

55
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: know what they're in, so they're fine. We'll get into

56
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: all of it. And then, but most notable, well, it

57
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, we'll get into all of it. We'll talk

58
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: about the Chiefs in a second. First, this episode of

59
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: What's Right and the Card is brought to you by

60
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: Boost Mobile and Straight to Voicemail, of course, is brought

61
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: to you by Boost Mobile. And I do I'm not

62
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: gonna do the thing I did a couple of weeks

63
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: ago where the Chiefs lost, and then I didn't lead

64
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: with the Chiefs. But I am gonna spend ninety seconds

65
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,799
Speaker 1: on the college football Playoff because I thought Miami should

66
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: get in over Notre Dame. I also thought though Notre

67
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: Dame had an argument to get in over Alabama. But

68
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: this is and Jokic's past, Jordan and crisis. Josh Hard

69
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: hands off his kid to Mitchell Robinson. But just real quick,

70
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 1: Oh that's adorable. I love that. I like I like

71
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: that picture a lot. Go ahead.

72
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 3: Oh no, I just said the baby on the shoh yeah,

73
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 3: give me ninety seconds hear in the college football Playoff

74
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: because I just want to get on the record about this,

75
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: and we'll put this on the internet if we want to.

76
00:04:55,800 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: I supported expanding the playoff from four to twelve, not

77
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: because there were ever going to be twelve deserving teams,

78
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 1: but because of a year just like this year, where

79
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: there is one unimpeachable team that obviously deserves to be

80
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: there in Indiana, and then more than three teams that

81
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: have an argument they should be included in a chance

82
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 1: to win the national championship, those being, of course, Ohio State, Georgia,

83
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: Texas Tech, Oregon, Ole Miss. And there's one more that

84
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:42,559
Speaker 1: I'm forgetting. Uh who was the who was the seventh seed?

85
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: Was it Oklahoma? The I should have oh, A and

86
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: M pardon me A and M and I give the

87
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: and Oklahoma throw them in as well. The whole reason

88
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: for expanding the playoff, apologies to my friends today and

89
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: him my buddy John Lopez, was to make sure you're

90
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: not having to choose between Texas Tech and Oregon. The

91
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: whole reason of expanding the playoffs was to make sure

92
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: that you're not having to choose between Ole Miss and Georgia,

93
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: even though that wouldn't have been given what Georgia did

94
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 1: that hard of a decision. The point of the playoff

95
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: was not to make sure a team with Miami or

96
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: Texas or Notre Dame or BYU or Alabama's resume gets in.

97
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: So any of those teams that get in, just be

98
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: happy about it. And any of those teams you are

99
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: if you are arguing we were tenth, then you've lost.

100
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: So I just don't care about Notre Dame versus Miami

101
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: versus Alabama. Because the point of the playoff was not

102
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: to accommodate them. The point of the playoff was to

103
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: make sure that Texas Tech doesn't get left out for

104
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: Oregon or vice versa. The playoff has accomplished that, so

105
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: that's what matters here. You expand from four to twelve

106
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: to make sure years like this year, where there are

107
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: six or seven teams that have a legitimate claim their

108
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: top four, all of them get in. That's why you

109
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: do it everyone else. And it's not to say one

110
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: of those teams can't somehow peel a championship. Ohio State

111
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: did it last year, duck not. The point point is

112
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: you did not expand the playoff to accommodate the Miamis

113
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: and Notre Dames of twenty twenty five. You expanded the

114
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: playoff to make sure the Ole miss and Oregons of

115
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five didn't get left out. Okay, like rate

116
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: subscribe review please. The Chiefs are six and seven.

117
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: Demosey, Yeah, it's grim. They have lost now four of

118
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: their last five after that game with Houston. This is

119
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 2: the first time I think it kind of looked like

120
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: the cold was effecting the Chiefs. Old line was cook

121
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 2: Kelsey had some drops, Rice had some drops, Mahomes was

122
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: limping around. Is there any type of silver lining or

123
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: any type of hope that you're holding on to after

124
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: this last game through the end of the season, All.

125
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 1: Right, Well, listen. The hope is like, do they have

126
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: a path to the playoffs? And the answer is yes technically,

127
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: but and the simplest way to explain their path to

128
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: the playoffs and then we'll get into what has happened.

129
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 1: But let me just get this out of the way.

130
00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: They have to go four and zero home Chargers at Titans, home,

131
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: Broncos at Raiders. The Colts can't go three and one.

132
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: Not worried about that. They're they're I mean, they're thinking

133
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 1: about starting Philip Rivers. So the Colts part of it,

134
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 1: to me is easy because the Colts have Seahawks, Niners, Jags, Texans.

135
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: So the the let's just say the Colts are out

136
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 1: and then the Chargers have to go either zero to

137
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: four or one in three, with one of the losses

138
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: being to Denver in Week eighteen. The simplest way to

139
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: look at can the Chiefs make the playoffs is they

140
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: have to beat the Chargers this weekend. They then have

141
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: to beat the Titans the Broncos and the Raiders, and

142
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: the Chargers have to then lose to Denver and Wi

143
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: week eighteen and to either the Texans or the Cowboys

144
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: in week sixteen seventeen. If that happens, the Chiefs make it.

145
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,839
Speaker 1: And when I lay it out that way, I can

146
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: tell by the look on Demanda's face it doesn't seem impossible.

147
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, Chiefs gotta beat the Chargers, the Titans

148
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: and the Raiders are awful home game against the Broncos.

149
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: They could do it. And then for the Chargers, can

150
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: they lose to Denver in week eighteen and to either

151
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: the Texans or the Cowboys. It's like, oh, maybe, Like yeah,

152
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: that's possible. The problem is this, as evidenced by the

153
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs game Sunday night, the Chiefs are not a reliable

154
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: team right now. And they lost Sunday Night for ten

155
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: different reasons, and they were all little microcosms for what's

156
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: happened all season long that has put them in this

157
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: position in no particular order, just kind of running list right.

158
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: Bad special teams for the first time of this era.

159
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: That missed field goal at the end of the first

160
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: half ended up being absolutely brutal particularly because if they

161
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: were up thirteen to ten instead of tied ten to ten,

162
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: they wouldn't have gone for that fourth and one, which

163
00:11:52,640 --> 00:12:00,560
Speaker 1: then leads me to some very shaky situational coaching from Andy.

164
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: At times, it feels like he has been more aggressive

165
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: than not. It feels like he has been way more

166
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: aggressive than any year than years past, yet oddly passive

167
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: in the Cowboys game when both teams are moving the

168
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: ball up and down the field, and then insanely aggressive

169
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: in the Texans game when that Texans offense was dead

170
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: on arrival in the second half, like that going for

171
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: that fourth down when at that moment Chris Jones has

172
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: taken over the game entirely is I hated it in

173
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: real time. I don't care what the analytical model said.

174
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: The flow of that game. The Texans were not scoring

175
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: again and the Chiefs didn't need to do that. I

176
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: love Andy, but that was a mistake, so that bit

177
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: them in this game. I mentioned Chris Jones. He was

178
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: unreal in the second half of this football game. But

179
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: the fact that the Chiefs all year long have only

180
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: been able to generate any type of quarterback pressure when

181
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: Chris Jones is dominant is a collective failure. I don't

182
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: know how many times I've talked to Monsey about third

183
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: and longs. They gave up a third and sixteen in

184
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: this game they gave up Listen, the third and ten

185
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: that they gave up on the pass interference was shaky,

186
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: but they gave up a third and eight previously, like

187
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: third and long defense was a problem. I'm not Patrick's

188
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: game was odd because obviously the stat line is the

189
00:13:54,760 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: stat line, and he missed some throws. I also thought

190
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: he had some heroic moments and was the least of

191
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: our problems. But he did throw that pit the second pick.

192
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: He threw the one in the second half on third

193
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: and six deep down the field Hollywood, Brown's open, and

194
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: he underthrows him. The inability to get on the same

195
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: page on the deep ball has been a problem all year,

196
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: and when he has gotten on the same page, like

197
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: the bomb to Taekwan Thornton, the perfect sixty yard pass,

198
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 1: Thornton doesn't reel it in. Kelsey has actually been really

199
00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: good this year. He's he's second in I think amongst

200
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: Titans and yards and catches, but his bad moments have

201
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: been awful. The drop against Philly that flipped that game,

202
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: the drop against the Texans that ended this game, the

203
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: total inability to have any run game other than from

204
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes aside from Kareem Hunting, the Colts game has

205
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: been a killer. Patrick's led them in rushing four times

206
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: this year. They're owing four in those games all and

207
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: so going into this game, you knew the offensive line

208
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: was a problem. They were down three starters. In the

209
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: first play of the game, one of the backups went down.

210
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: But honestly, the third string kid that came in as

211
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: a pole, I think is how you say his name?

212
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: It's p O l E, but I don't think it's

213
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: pronounced pole played really well. And the Chiefs game plan,

214
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: knowing it was not the quick, quick, quick. They didn't

215
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: lose because the offensive line was in shambles. They lost

216
00:15:53,440 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: because they haven't executed. And this is this is Demand's

217
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: why I was so adamant all of last year that

218
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: I did not care what the advanced stats said that

219
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 1: that was a great team because winning in the NFL,

220
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: we haven't solved it yet through success rate and EPA

221
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: per play and DVOA, we just haven't. And it's one

222
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: of the beautiful things about Pro football is. It hasn't

223
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: been sabermetric to the way baseball has where we just

224
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: know everything. And last year's team, yes, of course there

225
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: were some lucky bounces, and yes, of course there were

226
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: a couple of few wins that could have been losses.

227
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 1: But overall that team understood, like a great tennis player does,

228
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: the four or five highest leverage leverage moments of a match,

229
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: and that's when they execute their best. This year, this

230
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: Chiefs team has been the exact opposite, and I can go.

231
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:30,199
Speaker 1: I can Week one, after being thoroughly outplayed, you have

232
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers in a third and fifteen to get the

233
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 1: ball back and Chris Jones doesn't keep containing Herbert runs

234
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: and you lose. Week two, you're about to take the

235
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: lead on the goal line and Kelsey doesn't secure the ball,

236
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: tips it up and it's intercepted the the loss to

237
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: the Jags. Patrick doesn't see a lurking d lineman with

238
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: a chance to put the game away. It gets picked

239
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: sixth and they lose. The loss. Against the Broncos, you

240
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: have bow Nicks in a third and eight with a

241
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: fourth quarter lead, and you let him complete an easy

242
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: pass over the middle of the field. This has happened

243
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: all year, and the Texans game was no different. Fourth

244
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: and one tie game, ten minutes left, brutal, cold arrowhead

245
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,479
Speaker 1: on fire on your own thirty against a team that

246
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: has not scored in an hour, hour and a half

247
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: of real time, and you ran a play with no

248
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: threat of a run against the best pass Russian football.

249
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 1: That's how you lose. And so that's just that's just

250
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: where they're at. And I'm not going to where I

251
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: will and I don't know if people want to hear

252
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: this or not where I will give myself credit, I guess,

253
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 1: but not really credit. This is just more an indictment

254
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: on how other people I think either do sports fandom

255
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: or media. I'm not going to make any of the

256
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: excuses that people made in the other direction when the

257
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: Chiefs were winning. I'm not good like I'm not blaming

258
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: the reps for the best pass interference call that it

259
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: led to seven Texans points. Bad calls happen. I'm not

260
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: saying it's bad luck. I'm not saying this is actually

261
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: deep down a great team. They're not. And I talked

262
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: I don't know how much content I did after the

263
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: Cowboys game. You didn't hear you're not. You didn't hear

264
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 1: me say one thing about the officials, because it's the NFL. Man,

265
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: there's up and down officiating every single week. You bake

266
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: that in. If you're not a loser, you don't create

267
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: a stupid conspiracy theory and you deal with it. And

268
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: that is that's where they're at now. With all that said, Demons,

269
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 1: if they beat the Chargers on Sunday, a flicker of

270
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 1: hope will return, Yeah, because I will. Now there is

271
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: a very real possibility of a cruel circumstance staring at me,

272
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: which is because again, nothing if the Chargers beat that. Obviously,

273
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 1: if the Chargers beat the Chiefs, the Chiefs are dead,

274
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: but the Chargers could lose their next three, and if

275
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: they beat the Broncos, the Chiefs are dead, just dead.

276
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,680
Speaker 1: I think technically there is a different possibility of the

277
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: whole like AFC South imploding, but I don't think that's

278
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: a real like I'm that involves like the Cardinals and

279
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: the Raiders winning games like so that for all intents

280
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: and purposes, if the Chargers beat the Broncos, the chief

281
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: season's over. And that's in week that's in week eighteen,

282
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: and my so that's the So that's what I've tried

283
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 1: to game out in my head of do I think

284
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: it's likely the Broncos are not playing for something that week?

285
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: So let's actually, you know what, let's just real quick

286
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: talk this out right now. Let's do it, because what

287
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:46,160
Speaker 1: what we know is the Broncos have at least right

288
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: now well so, but I don't know if that's good

289
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: for the Chiefs or not. So here's the deal. If

290
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: we're assuming, obviously none of this matters if the Chiefs

291
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: don't beat the Broncos, so that puts the Broncos at

292
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: three losses. We need Denver to be playing for I can't,

293
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: you know what, there's no way to figure this out,

294
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, because there's too many unknown

295
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: tiebreakers because Denver and the Patriots didn't play head to head.

296
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: Right now, when Denver and the pats are have the

297
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 1: same record, the Broncos have the tiebreaker. But so let me.

298
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 2: This kind of seems like what you're saying.

299
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think here's what I But here's

300
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: where I don't. Would wouldn't want them to win their

301
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: next two. I wouldn't want them to win their next too.

302
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 1: If the Patriots are about to go on a bit

303
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: of a swoon, and then it gives the Broncos the

304
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,959
Speaker 1: possibility of having the one seed locked up going The

305
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: worst case scenario is the Broncos have the one seed

306
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: locked up going into Week eighteen. That's a disaster. The

307
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 1: So this isn't good podcast content. I'm not going to

308
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: spend more time on this. What I the because I

309
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: can't figure out the exact you know, ramifications right what

310
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: I so? What would be the Chiefs? So the point

311
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: that I was trying to make was, after all of

312
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: the trash I've talked on the eleven and two Broncos

313
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: all year, if they end up being so good that

314
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: not only do they win the division, but they are

315
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: able to rest players and that costs the Chiefs a

316
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 1: spot in the tournament, which again, for that to even

317
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: be a possibility, Kansas City's gotta win all of the

318
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: rest of their games. That would be a That'd be

319
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: a cruel mistress, I'll tell you that much. But it's

320
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: a position they've put themselves in. Now, I do want

321
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: to say one more thing demands before we get to

322
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: the other stuff, which is the how does this impact

323
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: the Mahomes goat stuff, and I'm going to try to

324
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: do this quickly, but I I don't even think it

325
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 1: is debatable what I'm about to say. It's just very

326
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: simple kind of how linear time works. Okay, even when

327
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 1: missing the playoffs this year, if they do, Patrick Mahomes,

328
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: by any metric that you choose, stats, wins, postseason success,

329
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:07,479
Speaker 1: championshipschampionship appearances, by any metric, has had the greatest first

330
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 1: eight years as a starter or first nine years of

331
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: his career of any player in league history, of any quarterback.

332
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: That is not a debate. That is just what the

333
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: numbers are now. Obviously, in his quest to become the goat,

334
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:40,600
Speaker 1: you have to incorporate two realities. One is the guy

335
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: he's chasing beat him twice in the playoffs, and he'll

336
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: never be able to beat him because he's long retired.

337
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: That hurts. And the other one is the guy he's

338
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: chasing played so incredibly long and had such an unbelievable

339
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: final ten years that it is unrealistic to think Patrick

340
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 1: will play nearly as long as Tom, and so he

341
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: needed and needs to rack up accomplishments early and really

342
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: be ahead of the pace because almost he's I don't

343
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: think he's going to play ut at least forty five.

344
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: So all of that is just factually true, and so

345
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: in that regard, this season hurts him a lot. But

346
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: one can acknowledge that while also acknowledging that the idea

347
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: that Tom Brady or those Pats never had dips or

348
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: maybe not a season quite like this, but to that

349
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: in a moment is erroneous. Patrick has been a starter

350
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: for eight years. Let's assume they missed the playoffs this year.

351
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: In those eight years, Patrick has more playoff wins eight years.

352
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: Is a starter. Side by side Patrick and Tom, they

353
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: have the same number of Super Bowl wins. Patrick has

354
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: more playoff wins, regular season wins, playoff appearances, regular season MVPs,

355
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVPs. In those eight seasons, Tom missed the

356
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 1: playoffs twice. Patrick has missed the playoffs potentially once. In

357
00:28:54,400 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: those eight seasons, there were three years where Tom's team

358
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, two years where Tom's team did not win

359
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 1: a playoff game, and three years where Tom's team did

360
00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: not make the conference championship game, and Patrick's eight years. Again,

361
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: assuming they missed the playoffs, there will be one year

362
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: where they didn't want a playoff game and one year

363
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: where they didn't make the conference championship game. Now people

364
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: listening to this are yelling two things. Well, one of

365
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 1: those years Tom was hurt. Unfair to use that against him.

366
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: It's totally true, and I'm not using it against him.

367
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: I am simply doing linear time. First eight seasons, here's

368
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 1: what they did. And while you wouldn't use the year

369
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: he was hurt and they missed the playoffs against him,

370
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 1: you also certainly are not going to be like that

371
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: helps him, like that the year he didn't play helps him.

372
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: The other thing people say with regularity is well the

373
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: two year when they missed the playoffs in won nine games,

374
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: Tom wasn't Tom. Okay, I mean, that's that's an okay

375
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: opinion to have, but it is a weird opinion to have.

376
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: If the argument, if you are trying to make the

377
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: argument that through eight years, Tom was better, then I

378
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: don't think you can make the argument that year two

379
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 1: of that timeline doesn't count because year two Patrick was

380
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: so much better than year two Tom. That doesn't make sense. Now,

381
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: if the argument is at the beginning, Tom wasn't his

382
00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: fully for himself, and when he became his fully for himself.

383
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: They never had a year like this. That is true.

384
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: That cuts in both directions, though, because if you're saying

385
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: that early Tom doesn't get knocked for a nine and

386
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: seven season because he wasn't really Tom Brady yet, then

387
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: you can't then also be like, but all of the

388
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 1: accomplishments count with the same way he does, Like the

389
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowls count for him, the misplayoffs and count against him.

390
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do any of that. I'm simply gonna

391
00:31:21,840 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: line up the eight years next to each other, and

392
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: Patrick's first eight years, by any way you cut it,

393
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: even with this year included, outstripped Tom's first eight years. Now. Again,

394
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: the obvious argument against that is, yeah, but do you

395
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: think Patrick's next fifteen are gonna look like Tom's? That's

396
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: gonna be very, very difficult, But we're not there yet.

397
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: And what I would also add is this, you know

398
00:31:55,320 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: who also didn't think their next that the second decade

399
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: of his career was gonna look like it did for

400
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Tom Brady and the Patriots, because twenty eleven

401
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: to twenty eighteen was the Pats run that comes closest

402
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: that actually outstrips. Now this Chiefs run twenty eleven to

403
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. So the Patriots had one to seven seven years,

404
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: three four super Bowl appearances, three championships the Chiefs eighteen

405
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: to twenty five seven years, five super Bowl appearances, three

406
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: championships the Patriots in that time, or eighteen to twenty four,

407
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: I should have said for the Chiefs. Patriots in that

408
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:50,920
Speaker 1: time missed the playoffs once, didn't make the conference championship

409
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 1: game two times. The Chiefs missed playoff zero times, didn't

410
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: make the conference championship games zero times. And then there's

411
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: the Patriot run of eleven to eighteen that the Chiefs

412
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: had been chasing eight straight conference championship games, the only

413
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: streak longer than the Chiefs won. Right now, five super

414
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: Bowl appearances same as the Chiefs, three super Bowl victories,

415
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: same as the Chiefs. If the Chiefs missed the playoffs

416
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: this year, then this eight year run they also went

417
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: to three straight Super Bowls like the Chiefs did, then

418
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: this eight eight year run falls just short of that one.

419
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: But notice the timeline I did demanse was one to

420
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 1: seven and then eleven to eighteen. And the reason I

421
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: did that, and this is again, if people are interested

422
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: in being having a real discussion about the resume side

423
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: by side, You then have to include that in two

424
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, and twenty ten,

425
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in those three

426
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: years won a total of zero playoff games. So the

427
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: only reason I bring that up is, let's assume the

428
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: Chiefs missed the playoffs this year in year eight. I mean,

429
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:26,080
Speaker 1: it's the The symmetry of this is kind of crazy.

430
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady in his seventh year as a starter, walked

431
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: onto the field in the Super Bowl attempting to win

432
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 1: his fourth championship and cement that team as the greatest

433
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 1: team in the history of the league. They lost, and

434
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 1: the next year was a season from hell because Tom

435
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: got his knee blown out in Week one. The next

436
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: year they won ten game and got beat by twenty

437
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 1: in the wild card round of the playoffs. And the

438
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: next year they were the number one seed and lost

439
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: to Mark Sanchez at home in their first playoff game,

440
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 1: and then they started the eleven to eighteen eight straight

441
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 1: conference championship game run. Patrick Mahomes, in his seventh year

442
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: as a starter, walked onto the field trying to win

443
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,399
Speaker 1: his fourth Super Bowl and knowing if we win this game,

444
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: we are the greatest team of all time. They lost,

445
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: and the following year was a season from hell. He

446
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,759
Speaker 1: didn't get hurt, but it looks like they're going to

447
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: miss the playoffs again if Brady is following the Mahomes timeline.

448
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: If Mahomes is following the Brady timeline, that would mean

449
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs don't win a playoff game again until twenty

450
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,319
Speaker 1: twenty eight. That the next two years they don't win

451
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: a playoff game. I don't think that's gonna happen. I

452
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: also don't think Patrick's gonna play twenty four years. I

453
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: don't think their careers are going to be identical moving forward.

454
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: But through eight years, it's stunning how similar the overall

455
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: team's success has been. And the Patriots after that seven

456
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 1: season and then the eight season had to do a

457
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: bit of a reboot. We'll see what the Chiefs have

458
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 1: to do. So that is the full version of it.

459
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: I that's where we're at, and we'll see if they

460
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:53,440

491
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: demand's let's talk a little AFC title window.

492
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,200
Speaker 2: The Bills are now the favorite to win in the

493
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:44,359
Speaker 2: AFC after their win over the Bengals. Following them are

494
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 2: the Broncos and the Patriots, but those are obviously younger

495
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 2: teams with those newer quarterbacks. If Kansas City misses the playoffs,

496
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 2: who is the favorite to win in the AFC or

497
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 2: who has the most pressure to win in the AFC.

498
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 2: Let's say it's the bell I.

499
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:03,760
Speaker 1: Mean, it's not. Yeah, it's the Bills by a country mind. Yeah,

500
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: the Bills have to make the Super Bowl this year.

501
00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: It's not even that's not a hot take. That's not complex.

502
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: It is if they walk into the playoffs and the

503
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: Ravens aren't there, and Joe Burrow's not there and Patrick

504
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: Mahomes isn't there, they have to come out of it.

505
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: They have lost in the playoffs to Joe and Patrick

506
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 1: five consecutive years. Twenty twenty AFC Championship game to Patrick,

507
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one, thirteen second game, Divisional Round to Patrick

508
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two in their stadium in the snow, to

509
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,840
Speaker 1: Joe twenty twenty three, Divisional Round game in their stadium,

510
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: to Patrick, twenty twenty four AFC Championship game at Arrowhead

511
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 1: to Patrick. If they go to the postseason and standing

512
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:24,799
Speaker 1: between them is Bo Knicks, is Denver Broncos second year

513
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 1: stud first playoff appearance, Drake May the Prince and the Jags,

514
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: a more abund offense in Houston who already beat them once,

515
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:48,240
Speaker 1: and whoever the hell comes out of the AFC north

516
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: forty two year old Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers, and

517
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:59,239
Speaker 1: then the Chargers and Justin Herbert, you have to make

518
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:05,040
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. And I'm telling you right now, Demansey,

519
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:11,759
Speaker 1: they would be my pick. They've got it. Josh is

520
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:16,839
Speaker 1: playing great. This is the moment. They would be my pick.

521
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to play them. Wild is pretending like he's

522
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: not scared. He's petrified. And the it would be it

523
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: would be a catastrophe for Buffalo to not make the

524
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:45,319
Speaker 1: super Bowl. And they look listen that the that game

525
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: they played against Cincinnati, that's just what they get. It's

526
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: just gotta be Josh Allen, Live or die with your

527
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: bro will just you know, crazy rhinoceros Josh Allen, and

528
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 1: he looks awesome, and he the rollercoaster will be back

529
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: to a degree. He'll have some ups and downs. But

530
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 1: I they shouldn't need here's the here's how I would

531
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: see it playing out. They shouldn't need monster Josh Allen

532
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: performance to go to Pittsburgh and win in round one.

533
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: That should just happen. They should just be able to

534
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: pretty methodically beat them round two. And then if the

535
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 1: let's just say the Seeds hold and you play Denver

536
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 1: and New England in round two and three, or New

537
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: England and Denver and round two and three like you know,

538
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:50,959
Speaker 1: don't know which round round two. Whoever, whenever you play

539
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 1: bow Nicks, Josh should just be able to make just

540
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: that's it. Don't make mistakes. See if bo Knicks can

541
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: you know, make enough plays? Yes, great defense, and then

542
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: against against the Patriots, I think he'd have to go superhero.

543
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: I think he can do it. And it's just such

544
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: a go ahead.

545
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 2: They're plus three seventy five to in the AFC.

546
00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:29,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, which makes them like co favorites. They're my they're

547
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:33,479
Speaker 1: my pick right now. And here is the insane thing

548
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,520
Speaker 1: about the NFL this year to last year. Here's the

549
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: full list of monse of teams that won twelve or

550
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:47,240
Speaker 1: more games last year and their current situation. The Detroit

551
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:52,080
Speaker 1: Lions currently out of the playoffs, the Kansas City Chiefs

552
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 1: currently out of the playoffs, the Philadelphia Eagles in the

553
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: midst of a crisis, the Minnesota Vikings awful, the Buffalo Bills,

554
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 1: pause on them, the Baltimore Ravens disaster, and the Washington

555
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: Commanders season from hell. Seven teams won twelve or more

556
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: games last year. Two of them, Minnesota and Washington, are dead.

557
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: Another two Kansas City and Baltimore are hanging on for

558
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: dear life. Detroit is trying to scrape its way in

559
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 1: Philadelphia is in the midst of a free fall, and

560
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo's sitting right there. It could not be better set

561
00:44:53,680 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 1: up for them. And that's why I am not taking

562
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 1: Josh Allen going to his press conference and saying never

563
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: a doubt as a shot at me. I'm taking it

564
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 1: as he's trying to usher as much good karma as possible.

565
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm good with it. You know,

566
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: if it, if it's gotta be anybody, I'm glad it's

567
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:33,839
Speaker 1: them actually, like they deserve it now the Rams. We're

568
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: not talking to ANYFC right now. A bunch of NFC

569
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: teams deserve it and are good enough. But just talking

570
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: about the AFC. All right, let's go over to the

571
00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: NFC demanse.

572
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 2: Uh So, it's your first time rooting for the Eagles

573
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 2: last night and it went pretty poorly because they lost

574
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,439
Speaker 2: the game. I don't know how many turnovers they had

575
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 2: that game, but that was that was one of the

576
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 2: craziest games ever see in my life. How bad are

577
00:45:53,600 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 2: things in Philly after last night?

578
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,760
Speaker 1: I mean bad enough that the headline for the Philly

579
00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 1: Inquirer today is should they bench Jalen Hurts for Tanner McKee.

580
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 2: So that's pretty bad rough over there, man right.

581
00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: I know nobody wants to hear this from me today,

582
00:46:19,440 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 1: but I owe the audience honesty, and even if this

583
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: ole piss off people that already don't like me, so

584
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: be it, because I think deep down everybody knows it,

585
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:41,959
Speaker 1: particularly people on the team. The Eagles have a jail

586
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 1: and Hurts problem. He for some reason does not trust

587
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 1: himself on quick decisions, and because of that, the offense

588
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 1: does not function properly. And then a game like last

589
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:09,839
Speaker 1: night comes around where he makes a mistake and its

590
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: snowballs in honestly cartoonish fashion. I mean, the guy had

591
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,719
Speaker 1: thrown two picks on the year. He threw four yesterday,

592
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: including it's first and ten in overtime inside the red zone,

593
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: and he makes a hero play and they lose the

594
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 1: game because of it. So I don't know, like you

595
00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: can't have this much? Is some wrong with the offense?

596
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:49,160
Speaker 1: Is some wrong with the offense? Aj Brown sounding that alarm?

597
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:53,879
Speaker 1: None of his teammates know what we didn't hear from

598
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: any of the Eagles, is man? Aj needs to shut up.

599
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: We're fine. It sure felt like a lot of the

600
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 1: teammates were like, man, I'm glad he's taking those bullets

601
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: because there is something wrong.

602
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 2: With him exactly.

603
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, you go three and out more than any team

604
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,880
Speaker 1: on a percentage basis in the NFL in the last decade.

605
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: You have all this talent and it can't just be

606
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 1: Kevin Petula. It can't be. And I understand Jalen was

607
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: unbelievable in the Super Bowl. I understand Jalen has had

608
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 1: some truly spectacular, huge games. There's no there's no denying there.

609
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: But the comp I have used repeatedly I will continue

610
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: to use, and it's not they are. It's not identical,

611
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 1: but it's a lot of similarities. The comp for Jalen

612
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 1: Hurts and this era of Eagles football is Russell Wilson

613
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,279
Speaker 1: and the Legion of Doom, the lead of Boom Seahawks.

614
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:10,000
Speaker 1: Great on the deep shot, good with his legs, good

615
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: in the short stuff, shaky in the intermediate, great defense, winner,

616
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:22,240
Speaker 1: great running game, wins the Super Bowl, loses the Super

617
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: Bowl Jalen did in the reverse order, and for some

618
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,800
Speaker 1: reason or another, the team doesn't seem to fully vibe

619
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 1: with him.

620
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have a bunny in the locker room. I

621
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:35,960
Speaker 2: feel like.

622
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,239
Speaker 1: My positivity rabbit. I thought that was a joke when

623
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:45,879
Speaker 1: I saw that someone one of our first things. First,

624
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 1: one of the producers texted that, I think it was

625
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 1: Dusty Moo's an Eagles fan.

626
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 2: He thought he got stats. I thought what he thought

627
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 2: he got sent tailed or something like it was a

628
00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,760
Speaker 2: fake Twitter tells.

629
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 1: Yes exactly. I was like annoyed by it when he

630
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: sent it to me. I'm like, god, I was like, either.

631
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 2: I checked this stuff, man, correct.

632
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,880
Speaker 1: I thought one of two things. I thought either Dusty

633
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:18,239
Speaker 1: got duped by the most obvious fake news ever, or

634
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 1: he was sending a joke. And then I realized it

635
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 1: was real.

636
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 2: Came out. Yeah, man, and if it works, it works.

637
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 2: It didn't work last night though.

638
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 1: No, And now here's the Chargers side of this is interesting,

639
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:47,240
Speaker 1: and I never here's the this is so I'm about

640
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:53,400
Speaker 1: to do something very unfair and borderline unprofessional. I'm just like, no, now,

641
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:57,040
Speaker 1: but I own the show, so we don't we own

642
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 1: the show?

643
00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:58,800
Speaker 2: Demons brace myself.

644
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: No, it's not gonna be. It's not what you think.

645
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 1: I have a great justin Herbert take great ten out

646
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: of ten.

647
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:12,239
Speaker 2: I honestly feel like I kind of know where you're

648
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 2: going with it. But what I won't be guessed or anything.

649
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:23,399
Speaker 1: But no, because here's the deal. Like I said, I'm

650
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: gonna be a like world class hater these next few months.

651
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: And this isn't hating on Justin Herbert. I know that

652
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:39,560
Speaker 1: I am going to be talking Justin Herbert with Justin

653
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 1: Herbert's number one media apologist, Danny Parkins in about five

654
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:54,279
Speaker 1: and a half hours, and I don't want him to

655
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,520
Speaker 1: have any extra time to prepare for my argument. So

656
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm saving my Justin Herbert take. I'm telling you guys,

657
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: So that is that I to our wonderful sponsors, to

658
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 1: all our partners, I promise I'll make up for it,

659
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,800
Speaker 1: but I it is too important to me to try

660
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: to really wamboozle Danny in a few hours that I

661
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 1: don't want. I don't want. He already has an advantage

662
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: of seeing the to the TV for the first two

663
00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: hours of First Things First, get an idea of where

664
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:32,439
Speaker 1: I'm at on stuff. But the too long, didn't read

665
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 1: short version of it is it's very, very difficult to

666
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: square the circle of Justin Herbert's biggest critics could not

667
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: hate that game from him last night, and Justin Herbert's

668
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 1: biggest supporters cannot love that game from him last night.

669
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: That's the short version of it. But he's he has

670
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 1: now put himself in position, as we talked about earlier

671
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 1: for the Chargers, where all they have to do is

672
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,880
Speaker 1: not collapse, and he gets a chance at playoff redemption

673
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:20,280
Speaker 1: and he will be Oh this job. I just realized something.

674
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: There's a decent possibility that the playoff game we get

675
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 1: if the Chargers make it is Chargers Jags part two

676
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and part four of the regular of

677
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: their whole careers. And Trevor's three and zero. Oh, that

678
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: would be unbelievable. That would be unbelievable. That's Hobby.

679
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:53,680
Speaker 2: No, you go, you know, he's kind of he's hurt

680
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 2: right now, like I just and then come that like

681
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 2: the I don't know he's playing. He's playing the Texans

682
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 2: and a couple weeks he's he's got some tough stuff ahead.

683
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: But yeah, tough stufed cheap Chiefs up next. I thought

684
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: he was gritty as hell yesterday with the running. Yeah,

685
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: it was unbelievable the way he his statline was what

686
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: it was, but.

687
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:15,720

710
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 2: So my Ravens are slipping further and further out of

711
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,880
Speaker 2: the picture with a divisional loss to the Steelers. After

712
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 2: the loss to the Steelers, Lamar said that the frustration

713
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 2: level was through the roof. He still thinks that we

714
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:40,359
Speaker 2: can we can maybe slip in there if we went

715
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 2: out with these last four games. I am, yeah, I

716
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 2: think we can. I don't know how the math and

717
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 2: stuff works, but I know that we're not completely out

718
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,440
Speaker 2: of it. And let's win these four games and see

719
00:55:52,480 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 2: what can happen out of there. And I am gonna

720
00:55:54,600 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 2: blame the refs. I am the type of person that

721
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 2: was what are you doing? Especially Tye say likely somebody

722
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 2: that's had some questionable history, I guess over the last

723
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 2: year and a half, Like, why do that dude? Where's

724
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:07,759
Speaker 2: he going to go? What are you talking about? A

725
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 2: football move? What do I need to make a football

726
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 2: move for him? Already in the end zone, there's nowhere

727
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 2: else to go, but.

728
00:56:16,360 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: No listen, So here's the thing on that specific call.

729
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: And you know, I hate replay, hate replaying sports. It's

730
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 1: made sports worse. They promised us with NFL intone replay

731
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: that the call in the field would have precedent and

732
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,240
Speaker 1: it would only be overturned if it was clear and obvious.

733
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,919
Speaker 1: The NFL, by the way, then added this year like, hey,

734
00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: even better expedited replay and that's just going to fix

735
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: obvious errors in the Chiefs Texans game X. But the

736
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,320
Speaker 1: ref the call in the field was correct about a spot.

737
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:58,959
Speaker 1: Expedited replay came in and was like no, no, no,

738
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: he got the first down. And then Andy was like,

739
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 1: you gotta be kidding me, challenged, and then the refts

740
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:10,839
Speaker 1: were like our bad expedited replay was wrong. So the

741
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: replay creep has gotten so massive to where it was

742
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 1: like replay only will be for the Vinny Testaverdi. We

743
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,800
Speaker 1: thought his helmet was the football. We gave him a

744
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: touchdown mistakes, and now it's like we're just gonna get

745
00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:31,760
Speaker 1: buzzed down and base calls off vibes. So I hate,

746
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: I hate it. My opinion on the likely thing is

747
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: whatever the call on the field was should have stood.

748
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,560
Speaker 1: So I do think it was close, and had they

749
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: called it incomplete, I would have argued it should have

750
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 1: stayed incomplete, right, But for them to call that a

751
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: touchdown and then overturn it, I think it's incorrect. So

752
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 1: I agree with you that you guys got screwed on

753
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: that call. Yeah, but that's not the problem for Baltimore.

754
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 1: No problem for Baltimore is they're not good and Lamar

755
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 1: is playing terribly. And something lost in the weeds of

756
00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:18,440
Speaker 1: this past weekend was that two minute drill Lamar attempted

757
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 1: to run on Sunday was an abomination. They had the

758
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 1: ball with a minute fifty six and two timeout and

759
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 1: a timeout pardon me, at the twenty six yard line

760
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: and they had gone eight yards and there was forty

761
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 1: five seconds left and they had used their timeout. They

762
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 1: got the ball with two minutes and a timeout and

763
00:58:42,000 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 1: they ran out of time.

764
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 2: I think we ended up. It was just it was

765
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 2: like a we weren't gonna be able to staff the

766
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 2: ball in time or something like that. I feel like

767
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 2: we're a far off line and how to use the timeout.

768
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 2: Are you just saying like we shouldn't have been there

769
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 2: to Yeah, No, what I'm.

770
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: Saying is it's lamar job to understand. I can't. I

771
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: can't start this drive on the twenty six with a

772
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:11,479
Speaker 1: minute fifty six left and one timeout, and then three

773
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: minutes of real time later be on the thirty four

774
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: with forty five seconds left to no timeouts. Something disastrous

775
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: has happened. Yeah, listen, Man, Lamar has been bad since

776
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: he came back from the injury, and Harbaugh doesn't know

777
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 1: what buttons to push. And even if they sneak into

778
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:37,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs, they are getting clocked in round one. I

779
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 1: have no faith in that team at all, none. Like

780
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: the only reason they they have a better path to

781
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs than Kansas City. But the reason that I

782
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 1: will hold off the tiniest bit of hope is because

783
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:58,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City has been such a dominant playoff team. Baltimore's

784
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 1: been the opposite. Now, maybe you could a argue, oh,

785
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 1: this year, if they make it, it's gonna be the inverse.

786
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Bad in the regular season, awesome in the playoffs. At least.

787
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have two games this year, the Ravens game

788
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 1: and the Lions games. Like, Man, we were awesome on

789
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball for sixty minutes. The Ravens

790
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: have zero games this year. We're like, man, we feel

791
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 1: great about how both sides of the ball played. The

792
01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 1: closest they came to it was their win against the

793
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:29,000
Speaker 1: Bears and Lamar didn't play. So I don't know what's

794
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: going on there. All right, let's talk Shador.

795
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,520
Speaker 2: Brown's head coach has announced that Shador is going to

796
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 2: be the starter through the end of the season. Kind

797
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 2: Of weird that he's making him the start at the

798
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 2: end of the season because you know, they went for

799
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 2: that two point conversion at the end of the game

800
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 2: and Shador was out of the game. What's going on there?

801
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 1: Okay, I thought Shador played really well. I was impressed,

802
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: had some really nice moments. One awful throw, But that's

803
01:00:55,840 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: so what is a rookie And that's the tie of

804
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 1: performance that earns you the job the rest of the year.

805
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 1: And now we'll see how he is over the next month,

806
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 1: where to see if he maybe can prove everyone involved

807
01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL draft process from a team perspective wrong.

808
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 1: It's an amazing opportunity and I don't listen. I said

809
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: this to Danny on Sunday, and this is the best

810
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,920
Speaker 1: way to explain it, because I do think Shador is

811
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:29,000
Speaker 1: a good kid, and I do think he's charming, and

812
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: I do think he's well intentioned. Uh the this is

813
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 1: the best. He just strikes me as like some of

814
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 1: the things that people dislike about his personality, not the play,

815
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: the personality. I just feel like, oh, I know a

816
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 1: lot of I've known a lot of people like that.

817
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 1: It's just like a really rich kid that doesn't quite

818
01:01:55,720 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 1: get you know, how doesn't it how the way he

819
01:02:01,160 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 1: acts kind of comes across to certain people. But it

820
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're a bad person, and it doesn't mean

821
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 1: they're like they are ill like they that.

822
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 2: Do think that some of the stuff that like I'm

823
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:13,760
Speaker 2: not telling the guy to change or suggesting that he

824
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 2: should change, but I do think the stuff that people

825
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 2: have problems with or like the bigger things, it's like

826
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,800
Speaker 2: a very easy thing to turn off for like a

827
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 2: second or like whatever little minute it might be when

828
01:02:23,760 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 2: you're talking.

829
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:28,120
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I do too, and I and I just

830
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: think it is I just think there.

831
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 2: Are because he's also done it, Like I feel like

832
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 2: I've seen him do that as well.

833
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, but what comes naturally to is what comes

834
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 1: Actually the kid's a super famous, rich kid with a

835
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,880
Speaker 1: super famous you know dad, and like it just again,

836
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 1: that doesn't make you a bad person at all. Like

837
01:02:48,520 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: I just think I think sometimes that I see a

838
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,919
Speaker 1: lot of character traits where I'm like, oh, I knew

839
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 1: that kid, Like I a kid like that went to

840
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 1: my school. Basically yeah, yeah, it's a it's a nice

841
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: kid that doesn't that sometimes just says things that people

842
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: around him are like does he even know? Like does

843
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 1: he get how that sounds? But they don't. That's fine,

844
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 1: So that part doesn't really matter. It just is what

845
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 1: it is, liketball, what his play and he and he

846
01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,680
Speaker 1: now was gonna have the opportunity to prove that he

847
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 1: can do it on the field. And I thought he

848
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: was really good on Sunday. Here's the thing on the

849
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 1: two point conversion call, that was quite simply one of

850
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:53,919
Speaker 1: the dumbest coaching decisions I've ever seen in my life.

851
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 1: And it was dumb in every way something can be dumb.

852
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: It was dumb in that it was it looked like

853
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,720
Speaker 1: you had never practiced it. So if the argument is no,

854
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: we've practiced a ton and we were great at it,

855
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: well then there's something wrong with your execution game day.

856
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:14,360
Speaker 1: So that's first thing. Second thing was it doesn't need

857
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: you don't It doesn't have to be that complicated trying

858
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: to get two yards you have Judkins would look like

859
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 1: it was supposed to be like a reverse pass. It's ridiculous.

860
01:04:28,040 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing. By doing that, that was the

861
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 1: only way you add to the noise surrounding the dumb

862
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: conspiracies with Shador, and you can say, oh, the football

863
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,680
Speaker 1: coach doesn't think about that, doesn't care about that, They

864
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: don't worry about that bullshit. One of the big reasons

865
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 1: Shador went in the draft as late as he did

866
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: was because teams didn't want all the noise that ca

867
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 1: came along with drafting him. And so even if you

868
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:09,760
Speaker 1: are just totally convinced, oh, calling a regular run play,

869
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:11,440
Speaker 1: I'm not even saying sure has to throw.

870
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 2: The ball quarterback play. He should have a quarterback and

871
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 2: a running back on the on the field to say

872
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 2: it could be either way a pass or run.

873
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: And even and even if you're like, nope, we have

874
01:05:24,680 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: we have seen the future, and we have a forty

875
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:31,520
Speaker 1: eight percent chance of getting this by calling a traditional play,

876
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: but a fifty eight percent chance of getting this by

877
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 1: running this play. It's still not worth it because the

878
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 1: knock on effect of the they were finally going to

879
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 1: have a week with minimal outside noise should or played.

880
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 1: He played well, you named him the starter. The folks

881
01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: that are like, they're setting him up to fail, they

882
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 1: don't like him, you know, the all of it we're

883
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 1: gonna they had, there was nothing to say. And then

884
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: after leading a fourteen point come back in the final

885
01:06:08,720 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 1: two minutes, you call the single wars two point conversion

886
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 1: anyone's called in the NFL all year. And so Handlan

887
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:22,800
Speaker 1: Draser is don't attribute to malice what can be attributed

888
01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 1: to stupidity, like don't don't assume someone was out to

889
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 1: get you or there is a grand conspiracy when it

890
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 1: could as easily be explained as that was just really dumb.

891
01:06:43,960 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: And I'm here to tell you that was I don't

892
01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 1: think it's a conspiracy. And this is the biggest indictment

893
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:55,439
Speaker 1: on Stefanski for some of the things he's done, some

894
01:06:55,520 --> 01:07:00,920
Speaker 1: of the decisions Kevin Stefanski has made in his handling

895
01:07:01,200 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 1: of the Browns offense that quarterback room and chador are

896
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 1: so illogical. People think that there must be a conspiracy

897
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:22,959
Speaker 1: at hand because he can't be that dumb. It's just

898
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 1: just so so ridiculous.

899
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 2: I mean, have you ever noticed go ahead to the

900
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 2: mind keep cutting it right for that read? I mean,

901
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 2: it sure seems like there's some sabotaging going on around there.

902
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 2: Seems like there's a little a little bit of somebody

903
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 2: not liking Shaduur. That's what it seems like to me,

904
01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 2: because how do you know that? It makes no call,

905
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 2: made no sense at all.

906
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 1: It seemed like that to a lot of people. And

907
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 1: I'm just and I'm here to tell you. I think

908
01:07:54,920 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 1: the simpler explanation is, despite his Coach of the Year awards,

909
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 1: the guy the Cleveland Browns keep trotting out there every

910
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:10,919
Speaker 1: year to be their head coach might not always make

911
01:08:10,960 --> 01:08:17,000
Speaker 1: the best decisions. I don't think it necessarily has to

912
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 1: be deeper than that, But listen, that's my take. You

913
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:26,839
Speaker 1: ever notice everything keeps going up? Rent's going up, streaming

914
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 1: services going up. Favorite Burrito Spot thinks Solza should cost

915
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:32,720
Speaker 1: extra all of a sudden boost mobile you and your

916
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 1: phone bill don't have to play the will just go

917
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: up game? Why Because Boosmobile was unlimited talk, text and

918
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:39,760
Speaker 1: data plan at a price that will never go up.

919
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:43,599
Speaker 1: In fact, same price you pay for life. So switch

920
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 1: now for unlimited wireless at a price that will never

921
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:49,480
Speaker 1: go up. Only at Boost Mobile after thirty gigs, customers

922
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 1: may experience lower speeds. Customers will pay twenty dollars per

923
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,000
Speaker 1: month as long as they remain active on the Boost

924
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: Unlimited plan. All right, Deman say, let's quickly get to

925
01:08:58,400 --> 01:08:59,200
Speaker 1: these other games.

926
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,560
Speaker 2: Lines to feed the Cowboys forty four to thirty.

927
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football. Great win for the Lions. Cowboys not

928
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 1: dead yet, Cowboy thanks the Eagles. Listen. It's very simple.

929
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:17,160
Speaker 1: Final four games. Cowboys have to win two more games

930
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 1: than Philly. That's it. No tie breakers, no nothing, because

931
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:23,599
Speaker 1: Dallas has a tie. So it's very very simple. If

932
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:27,679
Speaker 1: Philly goes two and two, Dallas has to go four

933
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 1: and zero. If Philly goes three and one, Dallas is dead.

934
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,599
Speaker 1: If Philly goes one and three, Dallas has to go

935
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: three and one. Are better. That's how they get in next.

936
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:39,920
Speaker 2: Packers defeat the Bears twenty eight, twenty one.

937
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 1: I mean, this game probably deserved more time than we're

938
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:46,679
Speaker 1: giving it. This was a great game. Jordan Love played awesome.

939
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:50,200
Speaker 1: Caleb had a miserable first half, a great second half

940
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:53,679
Speaker 1: and then blew it at the end. I think Caleb

941
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 1: is not quite there yet, but he still he shows

942
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:02,559
Speaker 1: you these flashes of brilliance. A huge spot for the Bears.

943
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 1: In two weeks they get a split with Green Bay.

944
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,640
Speaker 1: Then you make up for this game. You lose to

945
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:10,759
Speaker 1: Green Bay in two weeks. You can miss the playoffs

946
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: out right.

947
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 2: Next, Saints defeat the Bucks twenty four to twenty disaster.

948
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 1: My Bucks are on shaky ground and Baker's been shaky

949
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:23,439
Speaker 1: for a month. I don't want to talk about it.

950
01:10:23,439 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 1: It's not good. I don't like any bit of it.

951
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 1: It cost me money. Tyler shuck running in the I

952
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 1: did not enjoy that football game.

953
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:34,719
Speaker 2: Next, Seahawks defeat the Falcons thirty seven to nine.

954
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: You call this, yeah, Seahawks. Even's unbelievable, and poor Kirk

955
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 1: Cousins had no shot and Sam Darnold at one o'clock

956
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:45,040
Speaker 1: with nobody watching, look out.

957
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:49,760
Speaker 2: Next Yo, Shaggs defeat the Colts thirty six nineteen.

958
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:53,800
Speaker 1: All right. Obviously the news here is Daniel Jones and

959
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 1: the Achilles, and you feel sick for him. It also

960
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:02,440
Speaker 1: the Colts. The last month for the Colts franchise, altering

961
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:06,880
Speaker 1: turn of events. Yeah, trading two first round picks for

962
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:09,799
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner, seeing him go down with the calf strain,

963
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 1: seeing your team fall apart, and then seeing Daniel Jones

964
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 1: blows achilles. It's unspeakable how awful this was for them.

965
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:23,519
Speaker 1: The Jags, on the other hand, are legit really good

966
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:27,400
Speaker 1: football team. Not quite though, as good as this. Next

967
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 1: team next to.

968
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:31,680
Speaker 2: Monsey, Rams defeat the Cardinals forty five to seventeen.

969
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:35,640
Speaker 1: The Rams are juggernaut right now, just I mean, just

970
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 1: blowing people out with these.

971
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:41,799
Speaker 2: Next, Broncos defeat the Raiders twenty four to seventeen.

972
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,479
Speaker 1: Yet, listen, the Broncos, it wasn't as close as this.

973
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,320
Speaker 1: The story on this game is the craziest backdoor cover

974
01:11:48,439 --> 01:11:54,639
Speaker 1: and overhit in the NFL this season. The Broncos beat

975
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:56,560
Speaker 1: you a bunch of different ways. Man, this was a

976
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:58,719
Speaker 1: special team's touchdown. I gotta give him credit.

977
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 2: Next, Vikings to defeat the Commanders thirty one. Oh, I

978
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:02,719
Speaker 2: didn't see that one coming.

979
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: I got this one dead wrong. I know this will

980
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:13,559
Speaker 1: really surprise people, but Jayden Daniels got dinged up again.

981
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:21,439
Speaker 1: Uh and really really brutal season all the way around

982
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: for Commanders.

983
01:12:22,080 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 2: Fans.

984
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 1: I feel badly for him.

985
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 2: Last one probably shouldn't have been playing. Dolphins defeat the

986
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:29,679
Speaker 2: Jets thirty four to ten. Spicy.

987
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, And the Dolphins are in a weird spot because

988
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 1: they have the same record as the Chiefs. They're six

989
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 1: and seven. But for reasons I don't totally understand, even

990
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:41,479
Speaker 1: if they went out, they don't make the playoffs in

991
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 1: any scenario like they have that old athletic. I think

992
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:48,479
Speaker 1: they just lose all tie breakers to everyone, and so

993
01:12:48,600 --> 01:12:52,000
Speaker 1: the athletic playoff predictor if they went out, gives them

994
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:55,439
Speaker 1: a two percent chance if they went out, And so

995
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:59,639
Speaker 1: they're in obviously in really bad bad shape.

996
01:12:59,680 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 2: But McDaniel's gone a job next year job yeah.

997
01:13:03,880 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe they say my containers job all right? Before

998
01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: we go, I can't wait for this. Guys, are you

999
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:13,639
Speaker 1: a soccer fan, I've got good news for you. The

1000
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:18,120

01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 1: my hometown. Kansas City is one of the eleven host

1002
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: cities this year. It's bigger than ever, as the tournament

1003
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 1: has expanded to forty eight teams featuring a record one

1004
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:29,840
Speaker 1: hundred and four matches, and you can bet on the

1005
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 1: tournament today using the hard Rock Bet app. Favorites include

1006
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: defending champion Argentina, European powerhouses England, France, Spain, and five

01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 1: time champions Brazil. Dark horses include Norway with Holland and Columbia,

1008
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:48,800
Speaker 1: Morocco and Japan, and host Mexico and Cannon and the

1009
01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 1: US are looking to make some serious noise on their

1010
01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:57,280
Speaker 1: home soil. So here is what I would I'm gonna

1011
01:13:57,320 --> 01:14:01,880
Speaker 1: give for you guys as a fun route and something

1012
01:14:01,880 --> 01:14:05,920
Speaker 1: I think is going to happen. The US got a

1013
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 1: great group draw in Australia Paraguay, and then a little

1014
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 1: bit of a question mark as far as who the

1015
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:18,040
Speaker 1: fourth team is gonna be because it there's still a

1016
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:21,639
Speaker 1: playoff to be played for six of the forty eight teams,

1017
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 1: and one of those playoff winners will come to the

1018
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:28,519
Speaker 1: US's group. It'll probably be Turkey A, but we don't

1019
01:14:28,520 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 1: know either way. The US at plus one twenty to

1020
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:40,000
Speaker 1: win their group I like a lot. I also once

1021
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:46,080
Speaker 1: we once we have the full group set and we're

1022
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 1: gonna do a ton of discussion of this tournament on

1023
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: our show. But for right now, I think the US

1024
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:02,720
Speaker 1: to win Group D at plus one twenty makes a

1025
01:15:02,760 --> 01:15:07,760
Speaker 1: ton of sense. I also think that there was one

1026
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:13,479
Speaker 1: other one I liked a lot as not necessarily a

1027
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:18,480
Speaker 1: long shot, but not the favorite.

1028
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 4: Oh I I would I would consider Columbia to win

1029
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 4: Group K at plus two fifty, but the US to

1030
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:29,639
Speaker 4: win Group D at plus one twenty.

1031
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:32,280
Speaker 1: And we'll talk more about the tournament later. Head over

Speaker 1: players don't miss the playoffs in their prime? Yes? I

1043
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:19,839
