1 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Welcome in What's Driving the Great Episode three eighty five. 2 00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,520 Speaker 1: As always, this episode is brought to you by our 3 00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 1: great friends at boost Mobile. Demand's a great to see you, 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: great looking shirt. Weather must be gorgeous in La today, 5 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 1: even though I'm sure folks are going to be a 6 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: little down as the Dodgers might be frittering away this 7 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: world series. And I have the hottest take, the hottest 8 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: take about why the Dodgers are down three two to 9 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: the blue Jays. Are you ready for it? 10 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 2: What's the what is that? 11 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,239 Speaker 1: The blue Jays are better? Oh Goo days had a 12 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: better record by one game. The blue Jays don't have 13 00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 1: a massive liability, that is their bullpen. The blue Jays 14 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: are hot and confident and bad on ball. What'd you 15 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: say ball? 16 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: They're connecting? 17 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, exactly right, but the ball and play. And 18 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: here here's the other thing we were trying to figure 19 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,919 Speaker 1: out how to discuss this on for first things first today, 20 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 1: which is it is a clumsy if you will, almost topic, 21 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: not clumsy topic, but it's unwieldy, which is, how do 22 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: you square this circle that we have seen this postseason? 23 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: Shohei o Tani have arguably you, arguably the two greatest 24 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: games anyone has ever played in the history of playoff baseball. 25 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: The three home run ten strikeout game and then the 26 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,639 Speaker 1: two home run, two double five walk game. We've seen 27 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: that just in the last week. How do you square 28 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 1: that with? And other than those two games, he's been brewed, 29 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: like what do you what it is? It's and and 30 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: last postseason he was banged up, but he wasn't great. 31 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: But you can't be like, oh, he's not a postseason 32 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: performer because he literally might have had the two greatest 33 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: playoff games ever played, uh, in the playoffs. But also 34 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: aside and this is kind of a reverse, yeah, but 35 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: aside from that, missus Lincoln, how was the play you 36 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: don't want to Yeah, but the two greatest baseball games 37 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: any of us have ever seen, arguably, But aside from that, 38 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 1: he hasn't been good. It's really weird. And so on 39 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: first things first, we determined the way we're gonna frame 40 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: it is because Bruce been calling him the boat the 41 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: best of all time? Has this postseason helped or hurt 42 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: his quest for that title? 43 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 3: And he's hitting you know, it's the game. It's really 44 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 3: rough on the body, dude. 45 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: So I do wonder how much of it is that 46 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: is that of everyone, the eighteen inning game took the 47 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: most out of show hey, because the very next day, 48 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: after being on base nine times, he then also had 49 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: to pitch. But it's listen. I think my prediction before 50 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 1: the series was Blue Jays and seven. I think that's 51 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: still what's gonna happen because I think Yamamoto is going 52 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: to is gonna pitch a gym in game six. And 53 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 1: by the way, here is I wonder you throw in 54 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,920 Speaker 1: the doc if you guys could look it up for me. 55 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: What Yamamoto's World Series MVP odds are. I think before 56 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: the World Series he was thirty five to one. Yesterday 57 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: he was sixteen to one because if the Blue Jay, 58 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: if the Dodgers do end up coming back to win it, 59 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 1: he's fourteen to one now, so maybe he was, you know, 60 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: sixteen to one in some books fourteen to one. Another 61 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: Dodgers come back to win it, and Yamamoto has two 62 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: complete games two of their four wins. With Shohy cooling 63 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: off a bit. I wonder if he could win World 64 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: Series MVP. I mean, the smart money right now would 65 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: be on Vlad because it looks like the Blue Jays 66 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: are gonna win it. But that is that is something. 67 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: And I've been locked in to playoff to playoff baseball 68 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: in the World Series. I think it's been great and 69 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: I'm thrilled we're getting at least six, if not seven games. 70 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: So right now, Yamamoto's got the third best odds, but 71 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 1: it's Vladdie minus two hundred, show Hey plus two thirty, 72 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: and then Yamamoto at fourteen to one. All right, let's 73 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: get to straight the voicemail brought to you by our 74 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 1: friends at boost Mobile. One of those things straight to 75 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 1: voicemail was the Blue Jays Austin Reeves. Holy Molly, now 76 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: I saw. I think it was. I don't want to 77 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: get it wrong. I think Kenny Smith last night compared 78 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: this him to Jared me Lynn, which is so wildly 79 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: insulting to Austin. Austin's a legit excellent player, and they 80 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: called me a madman a few years ago when I 81 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: said I'd rather have him than Bradley Beal. Austin's about 82 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: to get that contract Bradley Beal got in Washington that 83 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: immediately became an albatross. Austin's been great. I do wonder 84 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: this and this will tell you a lot about the 85 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: Lakers priorities for the year, because when Luca is there, 86 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: Austin becomes less critical. When Luca and Lebron are both there, 87 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: Austin becomes almost wholly redundant. Do they consider selling super 88 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: high on Austin to try to upgrade their perimeter defense 89 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: and shooting, or do they look at Austin as Luca's 90 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: running mate for the next five years. I don't know 91 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: the answer to that, And a lot of that has 92 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: to do with how good the Lakers think they can 93 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: be this season when they're fully healthy. So all that, 94 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: and then their Nick's Halloween costume. But I'm I'm not 95 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: dressing up for Halloween this year. Your little sister's going 96 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 1: as a ghostbuster, so that's pretty cool. 97 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 2: And a little vacuum or something. 98 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I don't vacuum, but yeah, I mean I 99 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 3: think they. 100 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: I mean, it's like a ghost vacuum or something. I'm 101 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,040 Speaker 1: not sure exactly what it is, but it's pretty cool. 102 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: It's a it's a good costume. I like it all 103 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: right to Mom's a reminder everybody like rate subscribe review 104 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: to the pod. A lot to do today. I am 105 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: also a tad bit under the weather, if I'm being 106 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: totally honest, and so I'm going to power through. Let's 107 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: get to the annually the Bill's annual super Bowl, their 108 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: regular season game against the Chiefs. 109 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 3: Uh yeah, it is super Bowl week over there in 110 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,600 Speaker 3: Buffalo and Buffalo's home dogs this time. I know, what, 111 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 3: what do you think we're gonna learn more from? Or 112 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 3: which team do you think we're gonna learn more from 113 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 3: in this game? 114 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: So a lot here, right, and the Bills likely without 115 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 1: Ed Oliver, which is brutal for them. The Chiefs definitely 116 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: without their starting left tackle Josh Simmons. I do expect 117 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: him back by the way in November, but he's not 118 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: going to be there for this game. Trey Smith should 119 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: be back, which is important. Those are the maybe most 120 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: noteworthy injuries or absences for the Bills. The real question 121 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: to me is can this defense slow down what has 122 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: become the most pro with respect to the Colts, the 123 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: most prolific offense in the NFL. That is that that's 124 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: the question for Buffalo and for Kansas. It is actually 125 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: a similar question in this regard, which is the Chiefs 126 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: have the defense the last two weeks has been unbelievable, 127 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: but you're playing Mariota and you're playing the Raiders when 128 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: they have played legitimate quarterbacks. Those teams have moved the ball. Now, listen, 129 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: the Lions only scored seventeen points, but they moved the ball. 130 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 1: The Prince and the Jags moved the ball. Baltimore in 131 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 1: the three quarters, Lamar played moved the ball. Philly actually 132 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: struggled a bit moving the ball. But the Chargers move 133 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: the ball. So this Chiefs defense can't generate enough of 134 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 1: a pass rush without having to send blitz after blitz 135 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: after blitz to disrupt Josh Allen. So those are the 136 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 1: real The focus is going to be on Allen and Mahomes, 137 00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: But as far as learning more about either of these teams, 138 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna be more about the defensive side of the game. 139 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: But I will also say this, if I were just 140 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: to name a few Bill Simmons or Mike Greenberg or 141 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: Jim Rome or Joe Montana or Steven Ruiz or Dominique Foxworth, 142 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: some of these people are my good friends or colleague 143 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: or Colin Cowherd might mentor and dear dear friend, any 144 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: of a dozen people who in September or August definitively 145 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: declared that the best quarterback in football is Josh Allen. 146 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:09,840 Speaker 1: I'd be a little nervous this week because twenty some 147 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: million people are going to watch the Chiefs go to 148 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: Buffalo and what very well might be the last time 149 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: Mahomes and Allen ever play in that stadium, and I 150 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: think they're going to watch Patrick put on an absolute masterclass. 151 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: And I understand that it was very in vogue, as 152 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:45,199 Speaker 1: it is every September, and again I have been very 153 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: complimentary of Josh the last couple of years, but it 154 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: was very in vogue to just flatly assert, oh, Josh 155 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: Allen's the best player in the league after the first 156 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: few weeks of the season, and since then he's been good, 157 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: but not great. The team has been just fine since 158 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 1: that three and zero start two and two, and right 159 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: now this year, the only win the Bills have to 160 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: hang their hat on is a Ravens win. That Ravens 161 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: win that has not I guess I think it's fair 162 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 1: to say aged amazingly because the Ravens were such a 163 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: mess the first six weeks of the year. And this 164 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 1: gets us to demands the rivalry questions. So go ahead, 165 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 1: I'll let. 166 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 3: You yes, like like you said this is gonna be 167 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 3: the tenth time that they face each other, So what 168 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 3: would Allen need to do. 169 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 2: In this game for it to be considered a rivalry 170 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: or a true rivalry. 171 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: So I under it is a rivalry. I want to 172 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: like I don't think it's not a rivalry. It's the 173 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: two best quarterbacks in the league, and it is two 174 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 1: of the three best teams in the league over the 175 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: last five years. I don't think you can call it 176 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: the two best teams in the league because I think 177 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: you have to get Philadelphia. It's credit. They've been to 178 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 1: two Super Bowls, they've won one, But it is It 179 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: is unlike any rivalry we've seen in NFL history, where 180 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: despite the fact that the teams are you know, in 181 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,439 Speaker 1: any given year, even or one guy just has a 182 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: slight advantage. Early on when they were playing, the Chiefs 183 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: clearly had the better offensive weapons, the Bills clearly had 184 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: the better defense. The last couple of years, the Bills 185 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: probably had the better offensive weapons, offensive line, running back, core, 186 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: tight ends, you know, and the Chiefs might have actually 187 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 1: had the better defense. And one team has consistently won 188 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 1: the regular season matchups, and one team has won every 189 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: single one of the postseason matchups, and it is and I, 190 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 1: you know, ranted about this on the TV show yesterday, 191 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: so I don't have to spend too much time on 192 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: it here. But people so badly want it to be 193 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: Brady Peyton and it has just been nothing like Brady Peyton, 194 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: and it's maddening to me. Brady Peyton. 195 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 2: Was. 196 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: Peyton was the guy with the multiple MVPs. Peyton was 197 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: the guy with the crazy stats, and Brady was the 198 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: one with the rings in this instance. And by the way, 199 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: Peyton in their third playoff matchup beat Brady, and in 200 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: their fourth playoff matchup beat Brady, and in their fifth 201 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: and final playoff matchup beat Brady. Fact that nobody seems 202 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: to remember but me is Peyton finished the Brady Peyton 203 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: playoff rivalry with a winning record. He was one and 204 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: two with the Colts and two and zero with the Broncos. 205 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: But set that aside Josh and Patrick, Josh is the 206 00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: Patrick is the one with multiple MVPs. Patrick is the 207 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: one with the gaudier stats, and Patrick is the only 208 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: one that's ever won. So it is far closer to 209 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: Jordan Ewing or or lebron Toronto than it is bird 210 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: magic or Peyton Brady? 211 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 3: What do you like, bron Toronto is crazy. 212 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: I mean that's what it's been. I mean, that's what 213 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: that they even when Toronto had the better regular season 214 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 1: record than Cleveland, even when they were the favorite in 215 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: the series, which people will pretend to said true twenty eighteen. 216 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 3: Holmes has always had the gaudier stats. I feel like 217 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 3: some years Josh Allen has beaten Patrick Mahomes out on well. 218 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 1: No, I mean last year Josh was literally League MVP, 219 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: and the year before Josh had better individual numbers. But 220 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: I'm talking about for the totality of their careers, Patrick 221 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 1: has more passing yards, more touchdowns, fewer turnovers, a higher 222 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 1: passer rating, and no, no, no, the last two years Josh 223 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: has had the the better numbers, and the last two 224 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: years they've played in the playoffs, once in Josh's building, 225 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: once in Patrick's. The last two years, Josh has had 226 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: the ball in his hands less than five minutes remaining 227 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: down three points, chance to go slay the dragon, and 228 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: the last two years the Bills have walked off the 229 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: field getting zero points from those drives, and the Chiefs celebrate. 230 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: I mean, that's just what's happened, and uh and so 231 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 1: I just people so badly want Patrick dabber peer and 232 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: he just doesn't at this point. And as far as 233 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 1: can this game change that, no could. Would the Bills 234 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: beating the Chiefs in the playoffs finally change that? Sure, 235 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: but we're far a long way from it. All right, 236 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: let's talk MVP. Uh yeah, how far. 237 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 2: Do you think that this game will go into side 238 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 2: in the MVP? 239 00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 3: Well and also another follow up on this, could the 240 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,159 Speaker 3: loser still be eligible for MVP? 241 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 2: Oh? 242 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean again, we do too much. It's week 243 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: eight or we just finished Week eight. A lot of 244 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: people are still eligible for MVP. You're not knocked out 245 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: of it here. But Josh's MVP case right now to 246 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: me is very shaky. And listen, I was on the 247 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: record throughout last season that I thought at the end 248 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: of last season he was the MVP. But right now 249 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:46,479 Speaker 1: this moment, Josh's team has a good but not great record. 250 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: But that's the same with Patrick. They both have five wins. 251 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: Josh is, however, twentieth in the NFL in passing yards. 252 00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: He is tied for fourteenth in the NFL in passing touchdowns. 253 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 1: He is ninth in the NFL in passer rating, and 254 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 1: you can say, well, you know, we've got to and 255 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 1: we do have to give Josh credit for the rushing 256 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: piece of it. So he's rushed for two hundred and 257 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: sixty yards and has rushed for five touchdowns. The touchdowns 258 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 1: more impressive than the yards. Obviously, on that note, Josh 259 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 1: has not up to this point played like an MVP, 260 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: and the point I was making earlier after he was 261 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: unbelievable in that Ravens game, and he was unbelievable in 262 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,360 Speaker 1: the Dolphins game. That was the game after the Dolphins 263 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,720 Speaker 1: game when Mike Greenberg said he's never seen anyone play 264 00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:53,200 Speaker 1: the position better than Josh Allen. Since those three game, 265 00:18:53,359 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: those opening three weeks, he's been mediocre against the same points. 266 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: Threw for two hundred yards, two touchdowns and a pick 267 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: against the Patriots and a loss. Threw for two touchdowns 268 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: or two touchdowns, one pick and two hundred and fifty 269 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,199 Speaker 1: three yards against the Falcons and a loss. Was bad. 270 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: Two touchdowns, two picks at seventy three rating one hundred 271 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 1: and eighty yards. I against the Panthers last week, didn't 272 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: have to do anything, and I mean they won forty 273 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: to nine. You don't hold it against it. He threw 274 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: for one hundred and sixty yards. 275 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 4: So it is. 276 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 1: Right now if we were talking NFL MVP as far 277 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: as not projection demons on who's going to win it, 278 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 1: but on who if the award were given out, if 279 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: we had a mid season MVP, better candidates than Josh 280 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: would be Drake May, who, honestly I think would be 281 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: the mid season MVP. I think right now this moment, 282 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: Drake May has you could argue, has been the MVP. 283 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: Drake has a better case. Jonathan Taylor, if we're going 284 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 1: to open it up to running backs, has a better case. 285 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford. 286 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 2: That's Baker. 287 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,199 Speaker 3: Like I know, he got knocked out, but given the 288 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,479 Speaker 3: totality his his season has been equal to, if not 289 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 3: better than Josh Allen's. 290 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: Up to this point. Yes, I and so the right now, 291 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: if again, if we're voted on right now, my my 292 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 1: top five would be Drake, Stafford, Taylor, Baker, and Patrick. 293 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: And then I think you well, I'm going with Jonathan 294 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: Taylor as the MVP of that team. If it's a 295 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 1: quarterback only than Daniel Jones would have to be involved. 296 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: Jared Goff some would argue, and Jalen hurts. I wouldn't argue, 297 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: but the twenty touchdowns to two turnovers something else, and 298 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: the insane passer rating, you know, with something else. It's 299 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: just his yards are so low. It's a tough one. 300 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 1: But all those guys set Jalen aside because it's such 301 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: a unique case, have stronger MVP cases at this moment 302 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 1: than Josh. Uh. All right, let's a couple more questions 303 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: on this. 304 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 3: You joked on Tuesday show that if the Chiefs lost 305 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 3: the or won the regular season matchup, that they might 306 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 3: be in jeopardy to lose the postseason matchup. Are you 307 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,719 Speaker 3: all worried about that with his game coming up? 308 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: Well, here's what I find really interesting. This is the 309 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 1: first time these two teams since Patrick and Josh have 310 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: been there are playing in the regular season with neither 311 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 1: one of them in first in their own division. Usually 312 00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,359 Speaker 1: both are in first. This is the only time that 313 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: neither's been in first. And I do feel that the 314 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: Chiefs historically have had an edge in the playoff matchup 315 00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: against Buffalo Demonse because Buffalo goes all out for that 316 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: regular season game and the Chiefs, to me, have a 317 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: pretty vanilla game plan. They obviously want to win, and 318 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 1: they've been important games, but a pretty vanilla game plan 319 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: and try to use that regular season game as a 320 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: scouting opportunity for the postseason game. I don't know that 321 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 1: Kansas City or Buffalo for that matter, really has that 322 00:22:54,000 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: luxury this matchup because neither one of these teams say 323 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:00,680 Speaker 1: it again. 324 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 3: Oh, I was gonna assume with folks being hurt, like 325 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 3: you can't get but. 326 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,680 Speaker 1: No, no, no, it's because both of these teams are 327 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 1: in a real divisional fight. Neither one of these teams 328 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: wants to be a wild card. Since Josh and Patrick 329 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: have been there, they've never neither one of them ever 330 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: has been a wild card like and so that where 331 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: you have to start the postseason on the road. Both 332 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: of these teams, I'm sure believe they are still very 333 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 1: alive for the number one seed. The Chiefs get to 334 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 1: play the Colts that. I don't think the Bills and 335 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: Colts play each other, do They're. 336 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 2: Both of them are going to be going going at again. 337 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 1: I would think yeah, because it's the the Chiefs lose 338 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: this game, I mean they'll be going into Week ten 339 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,239 Speaker 1: the seven seed. The Bills lose this game, and New 340 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 1: England takes an even stronger hold on the division, so 341 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:05,199 Speaker 1: you it's a super important spot for both teams. And 342 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: I am pleasantly surprised that the Chiefs are road favorites, 343 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,639 Speaker 1: like we've seen the Bills come to Arrowhead and the 344 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: Bills be road favorites. The Chiefs being road favorites with 345 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,199 Speaker 1: what people were saying about Kansas City just four weeks ago, 346 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: is pretty stunning.

They 400 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: played way better defensively against the Rams. They played a good, 401 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,120 Speaker 1: very good to very good defensive game against the Bears, 402 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 1: and now you have a Dolphins team that seemed just dead. However, 403 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: last week that Dolphins team tore up the Falcons, and 404 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: that Falcons pass defense has been good and Tua had 405 00:27:56,119 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: four touchdowns and six incompletions. Uh, they ra and the 406 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,720 Speaker 1: ball well Waddle got off like that's the best the 407 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: Dolphins have looked in a year. And I do part 408 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,879 Speaker 1: of the Ravens playoffs, making the playoffs. Conversation to Mons 409 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: is part of that's about the Ravens and part of 410 00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: that's about the Steelers and the Bengals, two of the 411 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 1: worst defenses in the league, both two teams starting forty 412 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: year old quarterbacks, one of them is now hurt. Say 413 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 1: it again. 414 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 3: I mean we're two and five right now, we're favorites 415 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 3: to win the division. So yeah, it's just a lot 416 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 3: of us, right. 417 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: And so it's kind of we can talk about the 418 00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: Ravens just by being mediocre, might be able to find 419 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: a way to eight wins, and eight wins could win 420 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: the division. And if you're and we can throw up 421 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 1: the Ravens schedule. If you are a Raven supporter, you 422 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 1: have to feel like we are going to win our 423 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,920 Speaker 1: next four Tonight at Miami, then on extra rest at 424 00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: Minnesota and JJ McCarthy, then at Cleveland and Dylan Gabriel 425 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: or Shadoor or whomever, and then home for the Jets. 426 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,320 Speaker 1: You've got to feel like we are going to be 427 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 1: six and five going into our stretch run of four 428 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 1: divisional games, two against Cincy, two against Pittsburgh, plus New 429 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: England and Green Bay. So that is the math on 430 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: the Ravens finding a way to make the playoffs. The 431 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: logic demands on the Ravens actually being dangerous in the playoffs. 432 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:46,920 Speaker 1: Involves the defense having a second half of the season 433 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,040 Speaker 1: turnaround similar to last year, and we'll see if they 434 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: can do it. As far as tonight, tonight's a weird 435 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: spot because we have so little regard for Miami that 436 00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: it feels like any short of a thirty to ten 437 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: bludgeoning is going to feel unimpressive. Like, if you really 438 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,680 Speaker 1: want to feel good about Baltimore, Lamar in his first 439 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: game back in a month, has to look sharp, and 440 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: more importantly, the defense has to look excellent, Like, of 441 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: course you would take a twenty eight to twenty four win, 442 00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 1: but I don't think you'd feel great about it, if 443 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: that makes sense. 444 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean I understand they just locked up 445 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 3: the Falcons or they did what they needed to do 446 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 3: against the Falcons, but it would be a letdown if 447 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 3: Miami came to hug around with the Ravens, given how 448 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 3: their season is gone. 449 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: And let me throw another scenario at you of something 450 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:50,840 Speaker 1: potentially coming down the tracks here. Okay, let's just say 451 00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 1: that in these three games this weekend, the Vegas favorite holds. Okay, 452 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: So the Patriots, who this weekend they're I mean they're 453 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 1: playing who are favored against the Falcons. The Patriots win, 454 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: and the Ravens, who are playing the Dolphins tonight, the 455 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:22,520 Speaker 1: Ravens win. And the Chiefs, who are playing the Bills, 456 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:26,600 Speaker 1: the Chiefs win. Okay, And I'll go ahead and add 457 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 1: again if we're just doing the Vegas favorites hold. The 458 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: Colts who are hosting the Steelers at the Steelers. The 459 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 1: Colts win, and we're staring at going into week ten, 460 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens are three and five. The Steelers have fallen 461 00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 1: to four and four. The Patriots have improved to seven 462 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: and two, while the Bills have fallen to five and three. 463 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: You would be staring at the very real possibility that 464 00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills win eleven or twelve games and are 465 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: the number one wild card in the AFC. And the 466 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 1: twelve and five Buffalo Bills first playoff game is on 467 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,959 Speaker 1: the road at the number four seed, the worst record 468 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 1: of any divisional champ and they are on the road 469 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:32,480 Speaker 1: at the nine and eight Baltimore Ravens, and Josh versus 470 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 1: Lamar in Baltimore is game one of the post is 471 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:43,200 Speaker 1: the you know, opening AFC crazy game crazy. But now 472 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: let me say something else. Let's say the Bills beat 473 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: the Chiefs this weekend and the Chiefs fall to four 474 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: and four, they are then potentially looking at a wild 475 00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:03,120 Speaker 1: card and maybe they would have to go to Baltimore 476 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 1: in the first playoff in the wildcard. 477 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,400 Speaker 2: Run, Well, that'd be good for Lamar. 478 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 3: I mean, if we beat either one of those teams 479 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 3: going out the first round, I mean, that's the super crazy, 480 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,080 Speaker 3: that's the super Bowl, I mean. 481 00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 1: And so it's just if we assume the AFC North 482 00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,520 Speaker 1: winner is going to be eight or nine wins at 483 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,520 Speaker 1: this point, they are going to be hosting a really 484 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: good wild card team, because the best wildcard team is 485 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: either going to be Bills or Patriots or whomever comes 486 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,120 Speaker 1: in second in the AFC West. So Chiefs Bronco's Chargers, Like, 487 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: that's a hell of a potential Round one matchup. All right. 488 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 1: Speaking of the AFC West, we've got Denver facing off 489 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:50,840 Speaker 1: against Houston. 490 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 3: Two of the most unstoppable defenses are going head to 491 00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 3: head this Sunday. The Broncos are playing Houston. We've seen 492 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,440 Speaker 3: the last five quarters Broncos football, but somebody's been pretty 493 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,280 Speaker 3: skeptical and kind of called the positioning that they're in 494 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 3: right now, we're gonna play it. 495 00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 1: We got a sound bite, got a sound bite, you guys, 496 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,759 Speaker 1: all right, let me hear it. I think there is 497 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:20,440 Speaker 1: a chance the Broncos start like four and two, and 498 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:27,160 Speaker 1: I'm dealing with a lot of chirping because they go Titans, Colts, Chargers, Bengals, Eagles, 499 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:32,200 Speaker 1: really tough, Jets, Giants, Cowboys. How many games that was that? Eight? 500 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: That's eight games? So I think they you know what, 501 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 1: I think they might be able to even start six 502 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: and two. 503 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:46,840 Speaker 3: Don't care, Wow, I mean you kindled it, I. 504 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,240 Speaker 1: See, but I didn't. I thought that in that clip 505 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 1: I had said they might start five and three. I 506 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: didn't know I said they might start six and two. 507 00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,640 Speaker 1: That makes me feel even better. Yeah, let's pave that 508 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:05,359 Speaker 1: for a potential Broncos spiral. Uh. 509 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 3: You love that so so you're standing on it. 510 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 2: You don't, You don't feel differently. 511 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: This is what I'm gonna say. Bon Nicks has been 512 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 1: awesome in the last five quarters. YEA, the fourth quarter 513 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,840 Speaker 1: against the Giants, which might have just wrecked the entire 514 00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: Giant season, and the whole game against Dallas, which obviously 515 00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,760 Speaker 1: I got Stone wrong. That Dallas game, he's looked great. 516 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,760 Speaker 1: If he plays anywhere close to that level, that team's awesome. 517 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,279 Speaker 1: They lead the league in sacks and they allow the 518 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 1: few of sacks. The defense is great. Now, Sir Tans injury, 519 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 1: uh is a real one, and he's going to be 520 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: out a month and that's significant. But I do think 521 00:35:55,800 --> 00:36:02,120 Speaker 1: Broncos Texans is a really good bone test because the Texans, 522 00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: for all their struggles, have a great defense, and if 523 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:10,000 Speaker 1: Bow looks now, I think the Broncos could win that 524 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:15,560 Speaker 1: game in theory without Bowl looking good. And because I 525 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: think the Broncos defense. Yeah, I mean this such a mess, 526 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:25,200 Speaker 1: right and so and Tunsl's injured Like that's a oh 527 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: Tunsall's not on that team anymore. He is injured, but 528 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 1: he's on the Commanders, So ignore that piece of it. 529 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:36,720 Speaker 1: But the so, I think this could be an ugly 530 00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: seventeen to thirteen game. But if bow looks good against Houston, 531 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 1: all have to take them far more seriously. I find 532 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: it very interesting that Vegas has no respect right now 533 00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:56,360 Speaker 1: for Denver. The fact that they're one and a half 534 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,879 Speaker 1: point dogs against the Texans team that's looked decent once 535 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: all year is really noteworthy to me. 536 00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:07,880 Speaker 2: And so go the loss. 537 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,240 Speaker 3: With the loss, Houston would drop to three and five 538 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,000 Speaker 3: if they lost, Should they start selling some stuff with 539 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 3: the deadline? 540 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:18,439 Speaker 1: Yeah? I think that's a good take. The if they win, 541 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: they're in it, like this is a fork in the 542 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:28,760 Speaker 1: road game for Houston where they and Houston's weird because 543 00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:34,239 Speaker 1: their wins have been dominant wins. They shut out the Titans, 544 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:40,480 Speaker 1: they beat the thirty four, they handled the Niners easily 545 00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,880 Speaker 1: last week, and their losses have been frustrating, like five 546 00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,600 Speaker 1: points to the Rams, one point to the Bucks, touchdown 547 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 1: to the Jags. The Seahawks game only eight, but they 548 00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: were dominated in that game. They after the Broncos, they 549 00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,320 Speaker 1: have two divisional games Jags and Titans before the schedule 550 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: gets real. Tough Bill's Colts Chiefs. So Houston could be 551 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,680 Speaker 1: an AFC playoff spoiler as far as making the playoffs, 552 00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 1: but they have to win this game in order to 553 00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,880 Speaker 1: do that. All right, let's go to Patriots Falcons. 554 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:16,560 Speaker 2: So the MVP race. 555 00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 3: We talked about this a little bit earlier, but it's 556 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,759 Speaker 3: down to three guys, Mahomes, Allen, and Drake May. 557 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,160 Speaker 2: May and the Patriots are going. 558 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,160 Speaker 3: Up against the Falcons, and it seems like they haven't 559 00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 3: exactly but on everybody's radar. But do you think that 560 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 3: this game has the potential to kind of put May 561 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 3: and the Patriots on everybody's radar. 562 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 1: For sure? And I I understand Mahomes, Allen and Drake 563 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,880 Speaker 1: are right now the three MVP favorites. I do I 564 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,600 Speaker 1: think at the midway point of the season, we can't say, like, 565 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: you know, it's just these three guys. I think the 566 00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,919 Speaker 1: MVP race can evolve over the course of the year. 567 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,399 Speaker 1: And I right now, I you know, Stafford has a 568 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,080 Speaker 1: great case, a great case and to me a far 569 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,000 Speaker 1: better case than Josh Allen. Drake May has a great case. 570 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,239 Speaker 1: And when you're a great quarterback and Drake May might 571 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,600 Speaker 1: be that year two is not too early to be awesome. 572 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 1: And Lamar won an MVP in year two. Patrick won 573 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,120 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl second year as a starter. Burrow went 574 00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:20,720 Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl second year as a starter. Russell 575 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:22,960 Speaker 1: Wilson won the Super Bowl second year as a starter. 576 00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:28,800 Speaker 1: Like year two, you can be great already, and the 577 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:34,160 Speaker 1: Drake May has been since Week one, playing the position 578 00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:39,320 Speaker 1: as well as anybody in the league now. So I 579 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:45,120 Speaker 1: I think the Patriots are better than the Colts. I 580 00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 1: think the Patriots are the third most dangerous team in 581 00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,560 Speaker 1: the AFC. I think it was Chiefs, Bills, Pats, but 582 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 1: I don't think they right now have that universal respect 583 00:39:57,520 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 1: to your point, Demon's so yeah, I I think that 584 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:02,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard for them to get it, only 585 00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 1: because they don't play anybody like all year long. They 586 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:10,279 Speaker 1: already had the easiest schedule up to this point in 587 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: the season, and they have the second easiest schedule remaining. 588 00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 1: They have I think, you know, three games left that 589 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 1: can be statement games at the Bucks home for the 590 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 1: Bills and at the Ravens. Everything is the rest of 591 00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: it is Falcons, Bengals, Jets, Giants, Jets, Dolphins. So the 592 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 1: Patriots should have a really, really good record. This is 593 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,960 Speaker 1: one of the reasons I picked them to make the playoffs. 594 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:45,239 Speaker 1: And credit to them that post Buffalo, they've really taken 595 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,640 Speaker 1: care of business. Beat the Saints in a game that's 596 00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,680 Speaker 1: probably closer than they liked, and then blew out the 597 00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: Titans and blew out the Browns, and at Leana, I 598 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,040 Speaker 1: just can't get a beat on whatsoever. Such a weird team. 599 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 1: Hey guys, you ever notice how everything keeps going up? 600 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: Vents going up, Streaming services are going up.

All right, demons, 612 00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,400 Speaker 1: let's go to Vikings Lions quickly. 613 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 2: All right. 614 00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,919 Speaker 3: So the throwing JJ McCarthy in the fire, they kind 615 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 3: of did that soft benching and had him on the sideline. 616 00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,400 Speaker 3: And now he's facing the Detroit coming off a buye 617 00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 3: with a paid Aiden Hutchinson who just signed a massive deal. 618 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 2: What do you think this game is gonna look like? 619 00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: I think Detroit's gonna annihilate them. And I think that 620 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,440 Speaker 1: the Vikings are in real trouble. They clearly did not 621 00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:06,120 Speaker 1: want to play JJ until he was fully healthy. That 622 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,360 Speaker 1: ankle's frame took a long time. They trotted Carson Wentz 623 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,920 Speaker 1: out there week after week even though he was injured. 624 00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 1: And I think that you know JJ McCarthy, we've seen 625 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,000 Speaker 1: him play two games in the NFL in two years, 626 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,880 Speaker 1: and he's played one good quarter. Now again, the sample 627 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: size is nothing, and they have good weapons. But if 628 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: I'm the Vikings, I'm very nervous about the way this 629 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,040 Speaker 1: season could unravel on me. And I think it's already 630 00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,399 Speaker 1: kind of unraveling. 631 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 3: And you see, I think Carson Wentz is gone, by 632 00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,359 Speaker 3: the way, So it's it's just it's just JJ hare 633 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 3: right now right? 634 00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 1: No, yeah, I mean Carson Wentz had surgery, like Carson 635 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 1: Wentz is out for the year. Uh, but getting blown 636 00:42:55,160 --> 00:43:01,800 Speaker 1: out like you did by the Chargers is really disconcerting. 637 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:06,080 Speaker 1: And they their wins this year. They beat the Bears 638 00:43:06,120 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 1: in Week one. In the game they were outplayed, but 639 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: JJ had that great fourth quarter. They beat the Bengals 640 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,560 Speaker 1: by a million in Week three in the first game 641 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,880 Speaker 1: without Burrow, and they beat the Browns in Week five 642 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,120 Speaker 1: on a touchdown with twenty five seconds left. Was that 643 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 1: a London game? I'm trying to remember. Was that a 644 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,320 Speaker 1: London game? I feel like that was a London game. 645 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,520 Speaker 1: I feel like that was up early in the morning, 646 00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:41,439 Speaker 1: London game, the Vikings, Vikings Browns. It was a London game. 647 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,200 Speaker 1: And so I think the Lions are gonna absolutely put 648 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 1: it on them, and that might show up in tomorrow's 649 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,759 Speaker 1: pick show. All right, demand they want me to do 650 00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:51,680 Speaker 1: a Halloween bit. 651 00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,799 Speaker 3: I don't know what they are Halloween version of writ ends. 652 00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,960 Speaker 3: We haven't done this in a while. We're bringing it 653 00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 3: back from the dead, back from the tombstone Halloween bit. 654 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,360 Speaker 3: So it's time for you to fill in the blanks 655 00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,320 Speaker 3: on the scariest team in the NFL, oh crap, scariest 656 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:09,240 Speaker 3: team in the NFL, the scariest players in the NFL 657 00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:11,960 Speaker 3: is and the scariest move a team could make it 658 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,839 Speaker 3: the trade deadline would be. 659 00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:19,680 Speaker 1: All right, the scariest team in the NFL. The scariest 660 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,480 Speaker 1: team in the NFL is obviously the Chiefs, and the 661 00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,800 Speaker 1: scariest player is obviously Mahomes. So let me do non Chiefs. 662 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it just is like that's just it's not 663 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:31,600 Speaker 1: even debatable, So let me do non Chiefs. The scariest 664 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:36,840 Speaker 1: non Chiefs team in the NFL right now is the Packers, 665 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,280 Speaker 1: because if Jordan Love keeps up this level of play, 666 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,440 Speaker 1: that defense can be so good, and he's getting his 667 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:48,360 Speaker 1: weapons back, their ceiling is crazy high. The scariest player 668 00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:52,799 Speaker 1: in the NFL right now, I'm going to give again 669 00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:56,840 Speaker 1: non Mahomes category to Jonathan Taylor because it just seems 670 00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:00,880 Speaker 1: like he can pop for sixty yards at any given time, 671 00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:04,719 Speaker 1: and that Colts offense has been unstoppable because of it. 672 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 1: The scariest move a team could make it the deadline 673 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:16,760 Speaker 1: for me would be the Patriots trading for AJ Brown 674 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:24,320 Speaker 1: reuniting AJ with Mike Vrabel giving Drake May a legitimate 675 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,759 Speaker 1: number one and really going for it. So those are 676 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,280 Speaker 1: my answers there. All right, let's do some listener questions 677 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:30,799 Speaker 1: real quick. 678 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 2: Uh. 679 00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 3: Scott asked, why didn't you go to Toronto for the World 680 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:35,600 Speaker 3: Series in the Buffalo game? 681 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,120 Speaker 2: That that would be a nice weekend. 682 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,440 Speaker 1: I mean that would have been sick. I'm not gonna 683 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:43,600 Speaker 1: that is true. Going up to Toronto tomorrow night for 684 00:45:43,719 --> 00:45:47,880 Speaker 1: Game six and then seeing a potential Game seven, and 685 00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:50,480 Speaker 1: then on the way back home stopping by Buffalo for 686 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:52,840 Speaker 1: Chiefs bills. That would have been awesome. 687 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 2: Stadium? Would you Yeah, it'd be bad. 688 00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:01,480 Speaker 1: It'd be bad. Yeah, I'd legit neate like Fox Security. 689 00:46:01,560 --> 00:46:02,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure. 690 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:05,280 Speaker 1: What's Stefan's question? 691 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:05,799 Speaker 2: Uh? 692 00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:08,160 Speaker 3: Stefan asked, can we get your trade deadline? 693 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:09,280 Speaker 2: Wishless for the Chiefs? 694 00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,640 Speaker 1: Listen, I've wanted a chan for a while. It doesn't 695 00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 1: look like they're trading him. I the Chiefs have been 696 00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:22,439 Speaker 1: adamant they're not adding a running back. I'd still call 697 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:26,960 Speaker 1: about Camara, but I think they're more likely to go 698 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,719 Speaker 1: after a D lineman, particularly with the second round pick 699 00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:34,279 Speaker 1: Omar Norman Lott tearing his acl Let's go to. 700 00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 3: Indy Indie ask, is passer rating becoming overrated? Mahomes passer 701 00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,200 Speaker 3: rating in twenty eighteen was one thirteen point eight and 702 00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,560 Speaker 3: that was one of the best seasons in NFL history. 703 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 3: Right now, Jalen Hurts is a better rating than that 704 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:48,760 Speaker 3: at one fourteen point four. 705 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:53,400 Speaker 1: So here's the thing. The new style of play, which 706 00:46:53,520 --> 00:47:01,160 Speaker 1: is shorter passes, very very good at a void interceptions 707 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 1: and super high completion percentage kind of cracks the passer 708 00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 1: rating code and it's made it. I agree, like it 709 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:15,600 Speaker 1: is insane that the number of guys that have a 710 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:19,799 Speaker 1: passer rating above one oh five just totally nuts. And 711 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,759 Speaker 1: so I still think it's a good metric, but it's 712 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,400 Speaker 1: not good to compare era over ERA at this point 713 00:47:26,800 --> 00:47:33,280 Speaker 1: because to your point, to the uh, the questioner's point, 714 00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:38,880 Speaker 1: the Indy, the no, no, no, the oh yeah the questioner, Indy, 715 00:47:40,840 --> 00:47:43,920 Speaker 1: the high completion percentage low mistake but not a lot 716 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 1: of boom plays is kind of a hack for passer rating, 717 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,759 Speaker 1: the way being a good rebounder is a hack for 718 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,720 Speaker 1: player efficiency rating in the NFL or in the NBA. 719 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,200 Speaker 1: All right, reminder, everybody like rate subscribe review huge thank 720 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 1: you to Volume into Blue Duck and as always to 721 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,120 Speaker 1: our wonderful sponsors, Harder that boost and of course Zen. 722 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,479 Speaker 1: We are back tomorrow with our Week nine can't believe 723 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,799 Speaker 1: it's Week nine, Our Week nine gambling show, What's Right
