WEBVTT - Best Of - Chiefs LAST GASP, Joe Burrow LEAVING Bengals? Bills TIME IS NOW, Mahomes vs. Tom Brady

0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:02.480
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the Best of the Week for What's Right

0:00:02.560 --> 0:00:05.200
<v Speaker 1>with Nick Right the best takes and moments from this

0:00:05.280 --> 0:00:10.639
<v Speaker 1>week on the show. Enjoy. The Chiefs are six and seven.

0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Demosey, Yeah, it's grim. They have lost now four of

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:18.479
<v Speaker 2>their last five after that game with Houston. This is

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:20.239
<v Speaker 2>the first time I think it kind of looked like

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 2>the cold was affecting the Chiefs. O. Lione was cook,

0:00:23.239 --> 0:00:26.279
<v Speaker 2>Kelsey had some drops, Rice had some drops. Mahomes was

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 2>limping around. Is there any type of silver lining or

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:32.200
<v Speaker 2>any type of hope that you're holding on to after

0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:37.959
<v Speaker 2>this last game through the end of the season, all.

0:00:37.960 --> 0:00:43.159
<v Speaker 1>Right, Well, listen, the hope is like, do they have

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 1>a path to the playoffs? And the answer is yes technically,

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>but and the simplest way to explain their path to

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs and then we'll get into what has happened.

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>But let me just get this out of the way.

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>They have to go for oh, home Chargers at Titans, home,

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:10.319
<v Speaker 1>Broncos at Raiders. The Colts can't go three and one.

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Not worried about that. They're they're there. I mean, they're

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:18.039
<v Speaker 1>thinking about starting Philip Rivers. So the Colts part of

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 1>it to me is easy because the Colts have Seahawks, Niners, Jags, Texans,

0:01:24.440 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>so the the let's just say the Colts are out

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>and then the Chargers have to go either zero to

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 1>four or one in three, with one of the losses

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 1>being to Denver in week eighteen. The simplest way to

0:01:45.720 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>look at can the Chiefs make the playoffs is they

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 1>have to beat the Chargers this weekend. They then have

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>to beat the Titans, the Broncos and the Raiders, and

0:01:56.400 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 1>the Chargers have to then lose to Denver in week

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:09.640
<v Speaker 1>eighteen and to either the Texans or the Cowboys in

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 1>week sixteen seventeen. If that happens, the Chiefs make it.

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>And when I lay it out that way, I can

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>tell by the look on Demand's face it doesn't seem impossible.

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 1>It's like, Okay, Chiefs gotta beat the Chargers, the Titans,

0:02:27.560 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>and the Raiders are awful home game against the Broncos.

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 1>They could do it. And then for the Chargers, can

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:39.239
<v Speaker 1>they lose to Denver in week eighteen and to either

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>the Texans or the Cowboys. It's like yeah, oh maybe,

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:51.320
<v Speaker 1>Like yeah, that's possible. The problem is this, as evidenced

0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:59.520
<v Speaker 1>by the Chiefs game Sunday Night. The Chiefs are not

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:08.680
<v Speaker 1>a reliab team right now, and they lost Sunday Night

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>for ten different reasons, and they were all little microcosms

0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>for what's happened all season long that has put them

0:03:27.680 --> 0:03:32.639
<v Speaker 1>in this position in no particular order, just kind of

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:37.000
<v Speaker 1>running list right bad special teams for the first time

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>of this era. That missed field goal at the end

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>of the first half ended up being absolutely brutal, particularly

0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>because if they were up thirteen to ten instead of

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 1>tied ten to ten, they wouldn't have gone for that

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:58.480
<v Speaker 1>fourth and one, which then leads me to some very

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>shaky situational coaching from Andy. At times, it feels like

0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:09.480
<v Speaker 1>he has been more aggressive than not. It feels like

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>he has been way more aggressive than any year than

0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:21.000
<v Speaker 1>years past, yet oddly passive in the Cowboys game when

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>both teams are moving the ball up and down the field,

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:29.360
<v Speaker 1>and then insanely aggressive in the Texans game when that

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Texans offense was dead on arrival in the second half,

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 1>like that going for that fourth down when at that

0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>moment Chris Jones has taken over the game entirely. Is

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:49.599
<v Speaker 1>I hated it in real time? I don't care what

0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.719
<v Speaker 1>the analytical model said the flow of that game, the

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Texans were not scoring again and the Chiefs didn't need

0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>to do that. I love Andy, but that was a miss,

0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>so that bit them in this game. I mentioned Chris Jones.

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 1>He was unreal in the second half of this football game.

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:13.000
<v Speaker 1>But the fact that the Chiefs all year long have

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:16.920
<v Speaker 1>only been able to generate any type of quarterback pressure

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:25.520
<v Speaker 1>when Chris Jones is dominant is a collective failure. I

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 1>don't know how many times I've talked to Monday about

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>third and longs. They gave up a third and sixteen

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 1>in this game they gave up Listen, the third and

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 1>ten that they gave up on the pass interference was shaky,

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>but they gave up a third and eight previously, like

0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 1>third and long defense was a problem. I'm not Patrick's

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:57.320
<v Speaker 1>game was odd because obviously the stat line is the

0:05:57.360 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>stat line, and he missed some throws. I also thought

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>he had some heroic moments and was the least of

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>our problems. But he did throw that pit the second

0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:22.039
<v Speaker 1>pick he threw the one in the second half on

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.680
<v Speaker 1>third and six deep down the field, Hollywood, Brown's open

0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:30.200
<v Speaker 1>and he underthrows in the inability to get on the

0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 1>same page on the deep ball has been a problem

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.400
<v Speaker 1>all year. And when he has gotten on the same page,

0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>like the bomb to Taekwan Thornton, the perfect sixty yard pass,

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:46.119
<v Speaker 1>Thornton doesn't reel it in. Kelsey has actually been really

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>good this year. He's he's second in I think amongst

0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 1>Titans and yards and catches. But his bad moments have

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>been awful. The drop against Philly that flipped that game,

0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:07.159
<v Speaker 1>the dry against the Texans that ended this game. The

0:07:07.320 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>total inability to have any run game other than from

0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:16.400
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes aside from Kareem Hunting, the Colts game has

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:20.040
<v Speaker 1>been a killer. Patrick's led them in rushing four times

0:07:20.040 --> 0:07:23.440
<v Speaker 1>this year, they're owing four in those games all and

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:28.119
<v Speaker 1>so going into this game, you knew the offensive line

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 1>was a problem. They were down three starters. In the

0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>first play of the game, one of the backups went down.

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.960
<v Speaker 1>But honestly, the third string kid that came in as

0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 1>a pole, I think is how you say his name,

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 1>it's p O l E, but I don't think it's

0:07:41.720 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>pronounced Pole played really well. And the Chiefs game plan,

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.920
<v Speaker 1>knowing it was not the quick, quick quick, they didn't

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 1>lose because the offensive line was in shambles. They lost

0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:11.320
<v Speaker 1>because they haven't executed. And this is this is Demand's

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 1>why I was so adamant all of last year that

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>I did not care what the advanced stats said that

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:25.400
<v Speaker 1>that was a great team because winning in the NFL.

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:32.600
<v Speaker 1>We haven't solved it yet through success rate and EPA

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>per play and DVOA. We just haven't. And it's one

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:43.960
<v Speaker 1>of the beautiful things about pro football is it hasn't

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:47.840
<v Speaker 1>been sabermetric to the way baseball has, where we just

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>know everything. And last year's team, yes, of course there

0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 1>were some lucky bounces, and yes, of course there were

0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.400
<v Speaker 1>a couple of few wins that could have been losses.

0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:08.200
<v Speaker 1>But overall, that team understood, like a great tennis player

0:09:08.280 --> 0:09:13.880
<v Speaker 1>does the four or five highest leverage leverage moments of

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a match, and that's when they execute their best. This year,

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:24.920
<v Speaker 1>this Chiefs team has been the exact opposite. And I

0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:31.760
<v Speaker 1>can go. I can Week one, after being thoroughly outplayed,

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>you have the Chargers in a third and fifteen to

0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:41.200
<v Speaker 1>get the ball back, and Chris Jones doesn't keep containing

0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Herbert runs and you lose. Week two, you're about to

0:09:46.520 --> 0:09:50.680
<v Speaker 1>take the lead on the goal line and Kelsey doesn't

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:56.640
<v Speaker 1>secure the ball, tips it up and it's intercepted. The

0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:06.400
<v Speaker 1>loss to the Jags. Patrick doesn't see a lurking d

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 1>lineman with a chance to put the game away. It

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:19.840
<v Speaker 1>gets picked sixth and they lose. The loss. Against the Broncos,

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.760
<v Speaker 1>you have bow Nicks in a third and eight with

0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 1>a fourth quarter lead, and you let him complete an

0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:37.680
<v Speaker 1>easy pass over the middle of the field. This has

0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:46.600
<v Speaker 1>happened all year, and the Texans game was no different.

0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Fourth and one tie game, ten minutes left, brutal, cold

0:10:56.600 --> 0:11:00.839
<v Speaker 1>arrowhead on fire on your own thirty against a team

0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:03.400
<v Speaker 1>that has not scored in an hour and a half

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 1>of real time, and you ran a play with no

0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:12.080
<v Speaker 1>threat of a run against the best pass Russian football.

0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 1>That's how you lose. And so that's just that's just

0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 1>where they're at. And I'm not going to where I

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.800
<v Speaker 1>will and I don't know if people want to hear

0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:33.160
<v Speaker 1>this or not where I will give myself credit, I guess,

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:40.680
<v Speaker 1>but not really credit. This is just more an indictment

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 1>on how other people I think either do sports fandom

0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:49.840
<v Speaker 1>or media. I'm not going to make any of the

0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 1>excuses that people made in the other direction when the

0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs were winning. I'm not good like I'm not blaming

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 1>the reps for the bad pass interference call that it

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.600
<v Speaker 1>led to seven Texans points. Bad calls happen. I'm not

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:11.679
<v Speaker 1>saying it's bad luck. I'm not saying this is actually,

0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:17.320
<v Speaker 1>deep down a great team. They're not. And I talked

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how much content I did after the

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys game. You didn't hear You're not. You didn't hear

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:26.720
<v Speaker 1>me say one thing about the officials, because it's the NFL. Man,

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.800
<v Speaker 1>there's up and down officiating every single week. You bake

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 1>that in. If you're not a loser, you don't create

0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 1>a stupid conspiracy theory and you deal with it. And

0:12:40.920 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>that is that's where they're at now. With all that said, Demons,

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:59.480
<v Speaker 1>if they beat the Chargers on Sunday, a flicker of

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:08.440
<v Speaker 1>hope return, because I will now there is a very

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:22.280
<v Speaker 1>real possibility of a cruel circumstance staring at me, which

0:13:22.559 --> 0:13:33.239
<v Speaker 1>is because again, nothing if the Chargers beat that. Obviously,

0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.959
<v Speaker 1>if the Chargers beat the Chiefs, the Chiefs are dead.

0:13:37.559 --> 0:13:42.680
<v Speaker 1>But the Chargers could lose their next three, And if

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:46.839
<v Speaker 1>they beat the Broncos, the Chiefs are dead, just dead.

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I think technically there is a different possibility of the

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:55.640
<v Speaker 1>whole like AFC South imploding, but I don't think that's

0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.480
<v Speaker 1>a real like I'm that involves like the Cardinals and

0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:02.160
<v Speaker 1>the Raiders winning games like that. For all intents and purposes,

0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:05.040
<v Speaker 1>If the Chargers beat the Broncos, the chief season's over

0:14:05.080 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 1>and that's in week that's in week eighteen, and be obvious.

0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:20.400
<v Speaker 1>So that's the So that's what I've tried to game

0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 1>out in my head of do I think it's likely

0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:29.640
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos are not playing for something that week? So

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:33.960
<v Speaker 1>let's actually, you know what, let's just real quick talk

0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 1>this out right now, because what we know is the Broncos.

0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:48.200
<v Speaker 3>Have the rest of their seasons pretty tough too. At

0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 3>least right now, we have a super easy.

0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Well so, but I don't know if that's good for

0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:57.680
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs or not. So here's the deal. If we're

0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:02.080
<v Speaker 1>assuming obviously none of this matters. If if the Chiefs

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:08.440
<v Speaker 1>don't beat the Broncos, so that puts the Broncos at

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 1>three losses, we need Denver to be playing for. I can't,

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.000
<v Speaker 1>you know what, there's no way to figure this out,

0:15:18.080 --> 0:15:21.560
<v Speaker 1>to be honest with you, because there's too many unknown

0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:24.920
<v Speaker 1>tiebreakers because Denver and the Patriots didn't play head to head.

0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Right now, when Denver and the pats are have the

0:15:33.560 --> 0:15:39.680
<v Speaker 1>same record, the Broncos have the tiebreaker.

0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:43.480
<v Speaker 3>But I mean, so you would want them to win

0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 3>their next too?

0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:45.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I can't. I'm not gonna figure this out.

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:47.000
<v Speaker 3>It seems like what you're saying.

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think. I think. Here's what I But here's

0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.200
<v Speaker 1>where I don't. Would wouldn't want them to win their

0:15:56.240 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 1>next two. I wouldn't want them to win their next too.

0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 1>If the Patriots are about to go on a bit

0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:04.160
<v Speaker 1>of a swoon, and then it gives the Broncos the

0:16:04.200 --> 0:16:08.600
<v Speaker 1>possibility of having the one seed locked up going The

0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.240
<v Speaker 1>worst case scenario is the Broncos have the one seed

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:15.840
<v Speaker 1>locked up going into Week eighteen. That's a disaster. The

0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.720
<v Speaker 1>So this isn't good podcast content. I'm not going to

0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:22.920
<v Speaker 1>spend more time on this. What I the because I

0:16:22.960 --> 0:16:29.440
<v Speaker 1>can't figure out the exact situation, you know, ramifications, what

0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I so? What would be the chiefs? So the point

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 1>that I was trying to make was, after all of

0:16:38.360 --> 0:16:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the trash I've talked on the eleven and two Broncos

0:16:41.040 --> 0:16:45.640
<v Speaker 1>all year if they end up being so good that

0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.760
<v Speaker 1>not only do they win the division, but they are

0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:54.000
<v Speaker 1>able to arrest players and that costs the Chiefs a

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:57.560
<v Speaker 1>spot in the tournament, which again, for that to even

0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:02.000
<v Speaker 1>be a possibility, Kansas City's got to win all of

0:17:02.040 --> 0:17:05.320
<v Speaker 1>the rest of their games. That would be a That'd

0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:07.439
<v Speaker 1>be a cruel mistress, I'll tell you that much, but

0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.280
<v Speaker 1>to a position they've put themselves in. Now, I do

0:17:10.400 --> 0:17:16.760
<v Speaker 1>want to say one more thing demands before we get

0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to the other stuff, which is the how does this

0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:25.840
<v Speaker 1>impact the Mahomes goat stuff? And I'm gonna try to

0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:34.680
<v Speaker 1>do this quickly, but I I don't even think it

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:39.639
<v Speaker 1>is debatable what I'm about to say. It's just very

0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 1>simple kind of how linear time works. Okay, even when

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 1>missing the playoffs this year, if they do, Patrick Mahomes,

0:17:52.800 --> 0:18:02.120
<v Speaker 1>by any metric that you choose, stats, wins, posts, in success, championships,

0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:10.080
<v Speaker 1>championship appearances, by any metric, has had the greatest first

0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:14.000
<v Speaker 1>eight years as a starter or first nine years of

0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.320
<v Speaker 1>his career of any player in league history, of any quarterback.

0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:24.080
<v Speaker 1>That is not a debate. That is just what the

0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:32.399
<v Speaker 1>numbers are now. Obviously, in his quest to become the goat.

0:18:34.520 --> 0:18:43.200
<v Speaker 1>You have to incorporate two realities. One is the guy

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:47.600
<v Speaker 1>he's chasing beat him twice in the playoffs and he'll

0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:49.960
<v Speaker 1>never be able to beat him because he's long retired.

0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:53.280
<v Speaker 1>That hurts. And the other one is the guy he's

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:59.920
<v Speaker 1>chasing played so incredibly long and had such an un

0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:08.680
<v Speaker 1>believable final ten years that it is unrealistic to think

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Patrick will play nearly as long as Tom, and so

0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:20.639
<v Speaker 1>he needed and needs to rack up accomplishments early and

0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:23.840
<v Speaker 1>really be ahead of the pace because almost he's I

0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:27.120
<v Speaker 1>don't think he's gonna playuti least forty five. So all

0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:33.400
<v Speaker 1>of that is just factually true, and so in that regard,

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:43.600
<v Speaker 1>this season hurts him a lot. But one can acknowledge

0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:52.040
<v Speaker 1>that while also acknowledging that the idea that Tom Brady

0:19:52.119 --> 0:20:00.479
<v Speaker 1>or those Pats never had dips or maybe not season

0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.520
<v Speaker 1>quite like this, but I'll get to that in a moment,

0:20:04.160 --> 0:20:09.720
<v Speaker 1>is erroneous. Patrick has been a starter for eight years.

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's assume they missed the playoffs this year. In those

0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:23.760
<v Speaker 1>eight years, Patrick has more playoff wins eight years. Is

0:20:23.800 --> 0:20:29.199
<v Speaker 1>a starter. Side by side Patrick and Tom, they have

0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the same number of Super Bowl wins. Patrick has more

0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:43.040
<v Speaker 1>playoff wins, regular season wins, playoff appearances, regular season MVPs,

0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl MVPs. In those eight seasons, Tom missed the

0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:56.960
<v Speaker 1>playoffs twice. Patrick has missed the playoffs potentially once. In

0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:06.160
<v Speaker 1>those eight seasons, there were three years where Tom's team

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:11.479
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, two years where Tom's team did not win

0:21:11.560 --> 0:21:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a playoff game, and three years where Tom's team did

0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:21.520
<v Speaker 1>not make the conference championship game. And Patrick's eight years. Again,

0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:24.719
<v Speaker 1>assuming they missed the playoffs, there will be one year

0:21:24.760 --> 0:21:27.040
<v Speaker 1>where they didn't want a playoff game and one year

0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:33.840
<v Speaker 1>where they didn't make the conference championship game. Now, people

0:21:33.880 --> 0:21:37.800
<v Speaker 1>listening to this are yelling two things. Well, one of

0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:41.800
<v Speaker 1>those years Tom was hurt. Unfair to use that against him.

0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:46.040
<v Speaker 1>It's totally true, and I'm not using it against him.

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I am simply doing linear time. First eight seasons, here's

0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.160
<v Speaker 1>what they did. And while you wouldn't use the year

0:21:54.200 --> 0:21:56.960
<v Speaker 1>he was hurt and they missed the playoffs against him,

0:21:57.119 --> 0:21:59.760
<v Speaker 1>you also certainly are not going to be like that

0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:02.720
<v Speaker 1>helps him, like that that the year he didn't play

0:22:02.760 --> 0:22:06.760
<v Speaker 1>helps him. The other thing people say with regularity is

0:22:08.280 --> 0:22:12.960
<v Speaker 1>well the two year when they missed the playoffs and

0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:20.440
<v Speaker 1>won nine games. Tom wasn't Tom. Okay, I mean, that's

0:22:20.600 --> 0:22:24.360
<v Speaker 1>that's an okay opinion to have, but it is a

0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:28.160
<v Speaker 1>weird opinion to have. If the argument, if you are

0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:34.560
<v Speaker 1>trying to make the argument that through eight years, Tom

0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:37.919
<v Speaker 1>was better, then I don't think you can make the

0:22:38.080 --> 0:22:42.000
<v Speaker 1>argument that year two of that timeline doesn't count because

0:22:42.600 --> 0:22:45.640
<v Speaker 1>year two Patrick was so much better than year two Tom.

0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:49.840
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't make sense. Now if the argument is at

0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the beginning Tom wasn't his fully for himself, and when

0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:55.480
<v Speaker 1>he became his fully for himself, they never had a

0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:59.880
<v Speaker 1>year like this, that is true. That cuts in both directions, though,

0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 1>because if you're saying that early Tom doesn't get knocked

0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:10.120
<v Speaker 1>for a nine and seven season because he wasn't really

0:23:10.160 --> 0:23:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady yet, then you can't then also be like,

0:23:13.800 --> 0:23:16.760
<v Speaker 1>but all of the accomplishments count with the same way

0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:20.320
<v Speaker 1>he does, Like the super Bowls count for him, the

0:23:20.359 --> 0:23:22.680
<v Speaker 1>misplayoffs isn't counting against him. I'm not gonna do any

0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:25.760
<v Speaker 1>of that. I'm simply gonna line up the eight years

0:23:25.920 --> 0:23:30.520
<v Speaker 1>next to each other and Patrick's first eight years by

0:23:30.720 --> 0:23:35.600
<v Speaker 1>any way you cut it, even with this year included

0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:42.480
<v Speaker 1>outstripped Tom's first eight years. Now, again, the obvious argument

0:23:42.520 --> 0:23:45.040
<v Speaker 1>against that is, yeah, but do you think Patrick's next

0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:48.159
<v Speaker 1>fifteen are gonna look like Tom's. That's gonna be very,

0:23:48.680 --> 0:23:52.919
<v Speaker 1>very difficult, but we're not there yet. And what I

0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:58.960
<v Speaker 1>would also add is this, you know who also didn't

0:23:59.000 --> 0:24:05.679
<v Speaker 1>think their next that the second decade of his career

0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:08.760
<v Speaker 1>was going to look like it did for Tom Brady,

0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:16.679
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady and the Patriots, because twenty eleven to twenty

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:22.160
<v Speaker 1>eighteen was the Pats run that comes closest, that actually

0:24:22.520 --> 0:24:26.760
<v Speaker 1>outstrips now this Chiefs run twenty eleven to twenty eighteen.

0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:33.840
<v Speaker 1>So the Patriots had one to seven seven years, three

0:24:34.119 --> 0:24:39.000
<v Speaker 1>four super Bowl appearances, three championships, the Chiefs eighteen to

0:24:39.080 --> 0:24:43.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty five, seven years, five super Bowl appearances, three championships

0:24:43.840 --> 0:24:46.959
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots in that time or eighteen to twenty four,

0:24:46.960 --> 0:24:48.879
<v Speaker 1>I should have said for the Chiefs. Patriots in that

0:24:48.960 --> 0:24:53.520
<v Speaker 1>time missed the playoffs once, didn't make the conference championship

0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:57.680
<v Speaker 1>game two times. The Chiefs miss playoff zero times, didn't

0:24:57.680 --> 0:25:01.840
<v Speaker 1>make the conference championship game zero times. And then there's

0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:05.240
<v Speaker 1>the Patriot run of eleven to eighteen that the Chiefs

0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:10.360
<v Speaker 1>had been chasing eight straight conference championship games, the only

0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:13.399
<v Speaker 1>streak longer than the Chiefs won. Right now, five super

0:25:13.400 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Bowl appearances, same as the Chiefs. Three super Bowl victories,

0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:20.280
<v Speaker 1>same as the Chiefs. If the Chiefs missed the playoffs

0:25:20.280 --> 0:25:23.560
<v Speaker 1>this year, then this eight year run they also went

0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:26.480
<v Speaker 1>to three straight Super Bowls like the Chiefs did, then

0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:29.560
<v Speaker 1>this eight eight year run falls just short of that one.

0:25:30.320 --> 0:25:34.919
<v Speaker 1>But notice the timeline I did demanse was one to

0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:39.439
<v Speaker 1>seven and then eleven to eighteen. And the reason I

0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:43.880
<v Speaker 1>did that, and this is again, if people are interested

0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:49.600
<v Speaker 1>in being having a real discussion about the resume side

0:25:49.640 --> 0:25:57.560
<v Speaker 1>by side, you then have to include that in two

0:25:57.600 --> 0:26:02.000
<v Speaker 1>thousand and eight, two thousand and nine, and ten, Tom

0:26:02.040 --> 0:26:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Brady and the New England Patriots in those three years

0:26:05.960 --> 0:26:15.159
<v Speaker 1>won a total of zero playoff games. So the only

0:26:15.240 --> 0:26:18.480
<v Speaker 1>reason I bring that up is, let's assume the Chiefs

0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:21.840
<v Speaker 1>missed the playoffs this year in year eight. I mean,

0:26:21.840 --> 0:26:28.720
<v Speaker 1>it's the the symmetry of this is kind of crazy.

0:26:29.440 --> 0:26:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady, in his seventh year as a starter, walked

0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:37.440
<v Speaker 1>onto the field in the Super Bowl attempting to win

0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:44.919
<v Speaker 1>his fourth championship and cement that team as the greatest

0:26:44.920 --> 0:26:50.720
<v Speaker 1>team in the history of the league. They lost, and

0:26:50.840 --> 0:26:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the next year was a season from hell because Tom

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:59.760
<v Speaker 1>got his knee blown out in Week one. The next

0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:06.120
<v Speaker 1>year they won ten games and got beat by twenty

0:27:07.080 --> 0:27:09.960
<v Speaker 1>in the wild card round of the playoffs. And the

0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:13.680
<v Speaker 1>next year they were the number one seed and lost

0:27:13.760 --> 0:27:16.160
<v Speaker 1>to Mark Sanchez at home in their first playoff game,

0:27:17.000 --> 0:27:21.119
<v Speaker 1>and then they started the eleven to eighteen eight straight

0:27:21.119 --> 0:27:26.480
<v Speaker 1>conference championship game run. Patrick Mahomes, in his seventh year

0:27:26.480 --> 0:27:30.120
<v Speaker 1>as a starter, walked onto the field trying to win

0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 1>his fourth Super Bowl and knowing, if we win this game,

0:27:34.040 --> 0:27:37.000
<v Speaker 1>we are the greatest team of all time. They lost,

0:27:37.560 --> 0:27:41.919
<v Speaker 1>and the following year was a season from hell. He

0:27:42.000 --> 0:27:44.359
<v Speaker 1>didn't get hurt, but it looks like they're going to

0:27:44.400 --> 0:27:51.160
<v Speaker 1>miss the playoffs again. If Brady is following the Mahomes timeline,

0:27:51.200 --> 0:27:54.840
<v Speaker 1>If Mahomes is following the Brady timeline, that would mean

0:27:54.880 --> 0:28:01.119
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs don't win a playoff game again until twenty

0:28:01.280 --> 0:28:04.919
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight. That the next two years they don't win

0:28:04.960 --> 0:28:07.440
<v Speaker 1>a playoff game. I don't think that's gonna happen. I

0:28:07.520 --> 0:28:11.000
<v Speaker 1>also don't think Patrick's gonna play twenty four years. I

0:28:11.080 --> 0:28:14.800
<v Speaker 1>don't think their careers are going to be identical moving forward,

0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:20.479
<v Speaker 1>but through eight years, it's stunning how similar the overall

0:28:20.520 --> 0:28:27.159
<v Speaker 1>team's success has been. And the Patriots after that seven

0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:30.480
<v Speaker 1>season and then the eight season had to do a

0:28:30.480 --> 0:28:34.240
<v Speaker 1>bit of a reboot. We'll see what the Chiefs have

0:28:34.320 --> 0:28:39.880
<v Speaker 1>to do. So that is the full version of it.

0:28:41.440 --> 0:28:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I that's where we're at, and we'll see if they

0:28:50.920 --> 0:28:56.040
<v Speaker 1>pull me back in with a win Sunday against the Chargers.

0:28:57.520 --> 0:28:59.880

<v Speaker 3>So we all know Jeor Brow.

0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:43.680
<v Speaker 2>Joe Burrows had it pretty rough over there in Cincinnati.

0:30:43.840 --> 0:30:45.960
<v Speaker 2>He had a press conference yesterday and here's what he

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:46.520
<v Speaker 2>had to say.

0:30:47.480 --> 0:30:49.720
<v Speaker 4>You know, if I want to I want to keep

0:30:49.720 --> 0:30:55.160
<v Speaker 4>doing this, I have to have fun doing it. You know,

0:30:55.160 --> 0:30:57.560
<v Speaker 4>I've been through a lot, and if it's not fun,

0:30:57.600 --> 0:30:58.440
<v Speaker 4>then what am I doing it for?

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:02.120
<v Speaker 3>Have the Bengals broken? Joe Burrow?

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:11.840
<v Speaker 1>You really don't like when your franchise quarterback who's not

0:31:12.080 --> 0:31:17.120
<v Speaker 1>yet turned thirty says if I want to keep doing this,

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:23.120
<v Speaker 1>that is, if I'm a Bengal fan. That's a five

0:31:23.200 --> 0:31:33.360
<v Speaker 1>alarm fire, and it is a shocking It's a shocking

0:31:33.480 --> 0:31:36.520
<v Speaker 1>enough quote. I thought about leading the show with it,

0:31:37.080 --> 0:31:41.800
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like you guys, when the Chiefs are down,

0:31:41.920 --> 0:31:44.840
<v Speaker 1>want to hear my chiefs pain and cope. So I

0:31:44.920 --> 0:31:50.160
<v Speaker 1>led with the Chiefs. But Joe Burrow, who you know,

0:31:50.280 --> 0:31:55.320
<v Speaker 1>still has what does he have four years left on

0:31:55.440 --> 0:32:02.880
<v Speaker 1>his massive deal? Yeah, years left on his five year,

0:32:02.960 --> 0:32:07.560
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and seventy five million dollar contract. Him talking

0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:17.000
<v Speaker 1>about if I want to keep doing this? Uh, I

0:32:17.000 --> 0:32:21.960
<v Speaker 1>I would be lying if I did not say it.

0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 1>At least briefly gave me Andrew luck vibes of oh, man,

0:32:29.800 --> 0:32:33.160
<v Speaker 1>has this guy just his body's been through so much.

0:32:34.400 --> 0:32:38.760
<v Speaker 1>He was so close so early, and now the team

0:32:38.920 --> 0:32:42.680
<v Speaker 1>seems to be getting further away that he's like, I

0:32:42.760 --> 0:32:45.520
<v Speaker 1>don't I'm not enjoying this.

0:32:46.160 --> 0:32:50.000
<v Speaker 2>Then also seeing his predecessors continuously, you know, make it

0:32:50.040 --> 0:32:52.120
<v Speaker 2>to the postseason and battle it out, and he's had

0:32:52.120 --> 0:32:54.640
<v Speaker 2>to sit out a couple of them, probably.

0:32:54.680 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Right playoffs in a row. And I also think there

0:32:59.800 --> 0:33:07.480
<v Speaker 1>he is the emotional toll of man. My second year

0:33:07.480 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 1>in the league, I have the ball in my hands

0:33:11.640 --> 0:33:14.880
<v Speaker 1>in the Super Bowl with a chance to go win

0:33:14.960 --> 0:33:20.400
<v Speaker 1>it after beating Mahomes. My third year in the league,

0:33:20.520 --> 0:33:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I have the ball in my hands in Arrowhead with

0:33:25.120 --> 0:33:28.720
<v Speaker 1>a chance to go back to the Super Bowl tie

0:33:28.720 --> 0:33:36.520
<v Speaker 1>game and really vault myself above Patrick been in the

0:33:36.600 --> 0:33:39.000
<v Speaker 1>league three years, made back to back Super Bowls. You

0:33:39.080 --> 0:33:43.600
<v Speaker 1>have it, You've lost to me. And those two moments,

0:33:43.640 --> 0:33:47.760
<v Speaker 1>those two drives where his blocking broke down, by the

0:33:47.800 --> 0:33:52.080
<v Speaker 1>way on both he got hit on the final pass

0:33:52.200 --> 0:33:55.280
<v Speaker 1>of both seasons. In the Chiefs game, he didn't even

0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:57.560
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't even a final pass. Chris Jones just sacked

0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:02.960
<v Speaker 1>him the Rams game. Aaron Dy gets right to him,

0:34:03.000 --> 0:34:06.960
<v Speaker 1>but he's He takes the field in year two in

0:34:07.080 --> 0:34:11.360
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl saying touchdown, I'm a champion forever. He

0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:16.279
<v Speaker 1>takes the field Year three AFC Championship game field goal,

0:34:16.320 --> 0:34:18.759
<v Speaker 1>I'm back in the Super Bowl and I kind of

0:34:19.360 --> 0:34:25.080
<v Speaker 1>own this Mahomes rivalry. And now we're at the end

0:34:25.120 --> 0:34:27.520
<v Speaker 1>of year six and that was his last playoff touch.

0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:34.640
<v Speaker 1>That's tough. That's like a really And then you add

0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:38.600
<v Speaker 1>to it all of the physical, real weird injuries He's

0:34:38.600 --> 0:34:44.480
<v Speaker 1>dealt with turf tow and the wrist thing, and dealing

0:34:44.520 --> 0:34:49.440
<v Speaker 1>with the different franchise holdouts and contract disputes every year.

0:34:49.560 --> 0:34:51.440
<v Speaker 3>And tragic organization.

0:34:52.520 --> 0:34:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, yes, and it is. It is why some people said,

0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:02.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, do an l Way or an ELI and

0:35:02.800 --> 0:35:07.959
<v Speaker 1>don't go there. And so you know, people asking what

0:35:08.000 --> 0:35:13.759
<v Speaker 1>would a Joe Burrow trade look like? I mean, as

0:35:13.800 --> 0:35:16.239
<v Speaker 1>I did on TV yesterday and you know I'll do

0:35:16.360 --> 0:35:21.000
<v Speaker 1>on radio again or on podcast today. To quote Mike Meltzer,

0:35:21.560 --> 0:35:23.720
<v Speaker 1>being in a position where you have to trade prime

0:35:23.840 --> 0:35:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Joe Burrow is a fold the franchise moment, there is

0:35:29.040 --> 0:35:40.320
<v Speaker 1>no getting around it. But what would a Joe Burrow trade.

0:35:40.360 --> 0:35:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Look like three first and three second rounders. You're first

0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:54.080
<v Speaker 1>because you can. You're only allowed to trade three picks

0:35:54.120 --> 0:36:01.760
<v Speaker 1>in the league, the Daniel says Miles and the Browns picks,

0:36:02.120 --> 0:36:05.000
<v Speaker 1>they would never listen. I don't think they would trade

0:36:05.080 --> 0:36:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Joe Burrow. But if they were to, they certainly wouldn't

0:36:07.560 --> 0:36:10.560
<v Speaker 1>do it in the division, which is a bit of

0:36:10.600 --> 0:36:13.440
<v Speaker 1>a shame because the Browns have all the picks. Like

0:36:14.840 --> 0:36:17.960
<v Speaker 1>another team that has, you know, the team that could

0:36:18.040 --> 0:36:21.480
<v Speaker 1>trade you four first round picks other than the Browns

0:36:22.200 --> 0:36:25.160
<v Speaker 1>is the Rams because they have two picks in this

0:36:25.280 --> 0:36:29.320
<v Speaker 1>upcoming draft. But and that would be a really interesting

0:36:29.400 --> 0:36:33.440
<v Speaker 1>one if the Rams did bleep them picks again. But

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:36.879
<v Speaker 1>that would only make sense if Stafford were retiring after

0:36:36.920 --> 0:36:39.600
<v Speaker 1>this year, you know what I mean, Like they wouldn't

0:36:39.800 --> 0:36:43.719
<v Speaker 1>they You couldn't roster Stafford and Burrow to be like, hey,

0:36:43.800 --> 0:36:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Burrow's gonna sit a year and then take over. So

0:36:46.640 --> 0:36:54.480
<v Speaker 1>the timing of that wouldn't work. But this is if

0:36:54.480 --> 0:36:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm a Bengals fan, I am terrified of that press conference,

0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:05.200
<v Speaker 1>terrified of it. And we've seen guys walk away. We

0:37:05.400 --> 0:37:12.160
<v Speaker 1>haven't the only you're way too young to remember this, Demante,

0:37:12.440 --> 0:37:16.400
<v Speaker 1>but the only and he wasn't quite a star at

0:37:16.440 --> 0:37:20.279
<v Speaker 1>this point in his career, but he so, I'm just

0:37:20.280 --> 0:37:22.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna I'm gonna tell this story in a different way.

0:37:22.840 --> 0:37:28.719
<v Speaker 1>Once upon a time, and wow, I didn't even think

0:37:28.719 --> 0:37:34.000
<v Speaker 1>about this. Great job, Nick for putting this together in

0:37:34.040 --> 0:37:40.600
<v Speaker 1>real time. Once upon a time, there was a number

0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:48.160
<v Speaker 1>one overall pick quarterback who after seven eight years in

0:37:48.200 --> 0:37:53.359
<v Speaker 1>the league with some it wasn't us. He was not

0:37:53.480 --> 0:37:57.800
<v Speaker 1>Joe Burrows level, don't get me wrong, but one year

0:37:58.560 --> 0:38:04.360
<v Speaker 1>he led the league touchdown passes, finished top five in

0:38:04.520 --> 0:38:07.239
<v Speaker 1>MVP voting. It was actually his second year's probably as

0:38:07.320 --> 0:38:11.719
<v Speaker 1>high water mark went to the playoffs a couple times,

0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:17.920
<v Speaker 1>had disappointing postseason defeats, and one of the postseasons suffered

0:38:17.920 --> 0:38:22.800
<v Speaker 1>a catastrophic injury on right when the first playoff game started. Essentially,

0:38:25.520 --> 0:38:32.120
<v Speaker 1>that player, right after he turned thirty, woke up one

0:38:32.200 --> 0:38:37.120
<v Speaker 1>morning and said, I'm either retiring or you're trading me,

0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:41.879
<v Speaker 1>but I am not taking another snap for this franchise.

0:38:44.960 --> 0:38:49.560
<v Speaker 1>And that number one pick quarterback his name was Carson Palmer,

0:38:50.640 --> 0:38:55.960
<v Speaker 1>and Demons, I'll give you one guess, what franchise do

0:38:56.040 --> 0:39:01.280
<v Speaker 1>you think he played for the chiefs Man. You beleeve

0:39:01.360 --> 0:39:03.879
<v Speaker 1>that that's the worst job you've done in a long time.

0:39:04.320 --> 0:39:08.320
<v Speaker 3>Carson Palmer, No, who did Carson Palmer? The Bengals.

0:39:08.320 --> 0:39:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about Joe Burrow and the dysfunctional Bengals. And

0:39:13.160 --> 0:39:16.200
<v Speaker 1>I gave this whole story. So I'm gonna let you

0:39:16.280 --> 0:39:20.200
<v Speaker 1>have another try. Team the Bangles.

0:39:20.239 --> 0:39:20.919
<v Speaker 3>A good job.

0:39:21.440 --> 0:39:24.480
<v Speaker 1>That was. That was I was really trying to set.

0:39:24.600 --> 0:39:28.479
<v Speaker 1>I know this happened literally when you were a top

0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:33.520
<v Speaker 1>this small child, but I thought I gave you enough context.

0:39:35.760 --> 0:39:40.960
<v Speaker 1>The uh, it was the Bengals. And so the only

0:39:41.000 --> 0:39:44.520
<v Speaker 1>other guy like and I'm Joe has not demanded a trade.

0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he has.

0:39:46.400 --> 0:39:46.560
<v Speaker 3>But.

0:39:51.040 --> 0:39:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like he's closer to demanding a trade than not

0:39:53.520 --> 0:39:55.160
<v Speaker 2>demanding a trade at some point.

0:39:55.400 --> 0:40:01.919
<v Speaker 1>Or walking away. So I tough spot man. By the way,

0:40:47.680 --> 0:40:49.360
<v Speaker 2>The Bills are now the favorite to win in the

0:40:49.360 --> 0:40:52.400
<v Speaker 2>AFC after their win over the Bengals, following them with

0:40:52.480 --> 0:40:55.360
<v Speaker 2>the Broncos and the Patriots, but those are obviously younger

0:40:55.400 --> 0:40:59.120
<v Speaker 2>teams with those newer quarterbacks. If Kansas City misses the playoffs,

0:40:59.440 --> 0:41:01.560
<v Speaker 2>who is the favorite to win in the AFC or

0:41:01.600 --> 0:41:04.160
<v Speaker 2>who has the most pressure to win in the AFC.

0:41:04.280 --> 0:41:04.920
<v Speaker 3>Let's say it's the.

0:41:04.840 --> 0:41:07.239
<v Speaker 1>Bill I mean it's not. Yeah, it's the Bills by

0:41:07.280 --> 0:41:13.319
<v Speaker 1>a country mile. Yeah, the Bills have to make the

0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl this year. It's not even that's not a

0:41:18.480 --> 0:41:24.760
<v Speaker 1>hot take. That's not complex. It is if they walk

0:41:24.800 --> 0:41:34.560
<v Speaker 1>into the playoffs and the Ravens aren't there, and Joe

0:41:34.600 --> 0:41:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Burrow's not there and Patrick Mahomes isn't there, they have

0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to come out of it. They have lost in the

0:41:47.640 --> 0:41:57.680
<v Speaker 1>playoffs to Joe and Patrick five consecutive years. Twenty twenty

0:41:58.000 --> 0:42:03.080
<v Speaker 1>AFC Championship game to Pack, twenty twenty one, thirteen second

0:42:03.160 --> 0:42:07.200
<v Speaker 1>game Divisional Round to Patrick, twenty twenty two in their

0:42:07.239 --> 0:42:11.800
<v Speaker 1>stadium in the snow, to Joe twenty twenty three, Divisional

0:42:11.880 --> 0:42:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Round game in their stadium to Patrick, twenty twenty four

0:42:16.520 --> 0:42:21.319
<v Speaker 1>AFC Championship game at Arrowhead to Patrick. If they go

0:42:21.400 --> 0:42:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to the postseason, and standing between them is Bo Knicks,

0:42:29.920 --> 0:42:37.320
<v Speaker 1>is Denver Broncos second year stud first playoff appearance, Drake

0:42:37.440 --> 0:42:45.400
<v Speaker 1>May the Prince and the Jags, a more abund offense

0:42:46.560 --> 0:42:54.279
<v Speaker 1>in Houston who already beat them once, and whoever the

0:42:54.320 --> 0:42:58.799
<v Speaker 1>hell comes out of the AFC North forty two year

0:42:58.800 --> 0:43:03.440
<v Speaker 1>old Aaron Rodgers in the Steelers and then the Chargers

0:43:03.440 --> 0:43:08.040
<v Speaker 1>and Justin Herbert. You have to make the super Bowl.

0:43:10.040 --> 0:43:15.600
<v Speaker 1>And I'm telling you right now demand they would be

0:43:15.680 --> 0:43:21.880
<v Speaker 1>my pick. They've got it. Josh is playing great. This

0:43:22.120 --> 0:43:26.120
<v Speaker 1>is the moment. They would be my pick. Nobody wants

0:43:26.160 --> 0:43:30.080
<v Speaker 1>to play them. Wild is pretending like he's not scared,

0:43:30.160 --> 0:43:41.080
<v Speaker 1>he's petrified, and the it would be It would be

0:43:41.120 --> 0:43:46.279
<v Speaker 1>a catastrophe for Buffalo to not make the Super Bowl.

0:43:48.000 --> 0:43:53.960
<v Speaker 1>And they look listen that the that game they played

0:43:53.960 --> 0:43:57.000
<v Speaker 1>against Cincinnati, that's just what they get. It's just gotta

0:43:57.040 --> 0:44:01.600
<v Speaker 1>be Josh Allen, live or die with your bro will

0:44:01.800 --> 0:44:06.520
<v Speaker 1>just you know, crazy rhinoceros Josh Allen, and he looks awesome,

0:44:07.680 --> 0:44:10.600
<v Speaker 1>and he'll the rollercoaster will be back to a degree.

0:44:10.760 --> 0:44:15.040
<v Speaker 1>He'll have some ups and downs. But I they shouldn't

0:44:15.160 --> 0:44:22.480
<v Speaker 1>need here's the here's how I would see it playing out.

0:44:23.080 --> 0:44:30.239
<v Speaker 1>They shouldn't need monster Josh Allen performance to go to

0:44:30.320 --> 0:44:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Pittsburgh and win in round one. That should just happen.

0:44:34.840 --> 0:44:38.240
<v Speaker 1>They should just be able to pretty methodically beat them

0:44:39.960 --> 0:44:43.400
<v Speaker 1>round two. And then if the let's just say the

0:44:43.440 --> 0:44:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Seeds hold and you play Denver and New England in

0:44:46.760 --> 0:44:49.080
<v Speaker 1>round two and three, or New England and Denver and

0:44:49.160 --> 0:44:52.640
<v Speaker 1>round two and three, like you know, don't know which

0:44:52.719 --> 0:45:01.520
<v Speaker 1>round round two. Whoever, whenever you play bow Nicks, Josh

0:45:01.560 --> 0:45:05.839
<v Speaker 1>should just be able to make just that's a don't

0:45:05.880 --> 0:45:10.960
<v Speaker 1>make mistakes. See if bo Knicks can you know, make.

0:45:10.920 --> 0:45:15.200
<v Speaker 2>Enough plays, yes, great defense.

0:45:15.920 --> 0:45:19.520
<v Speaker 1>And then against against the Patriots, I think he'd have

0:45:19.600 --> 0:45:26.440
<v Speaker 1>to go superhero. I think he can do it, and

0:45:27.160 --> 0:45:29.240
<v Speaker 1>it's just such a go ahead.

0:45:29.280 --> 0:45:31.760
<v Speaker 3>They're plus three seventy five to on the AFC.

0:45:32.920 --> 0:45:37.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, which makes them like co favorites. They're my They're

0:45:37.480 --> 0:45:41.600
<v Speaker 1>my pick right now. And here is the insane thing

0:45:41.880 --> 0:45:45.640
<v Speaker 1>about the NFL this year to last year. Here's the

0:45:45.680 --> 0:45:49.319
<v Speaker 1>full list of monse of teams that won twelve or

0:45:49.360 --> 0:45:55.360
<v Speaker 1>more games last year and their current situation. The Detroit

0:45:55.440 --> 0:45:59.959
<v Speaker 1>Lions currently out of the playoffs, the Kansas City chief

0:46:00.840 --> 0:46:05.960
<v Speaker 1>currently out of the playoffs, the Philadelphia Eagles in the

0:46:06.000 --> 0:46:12.800
<v Speaker 1>midst of a crisis, the Minnesota Vikings awful, the Buffalo

0:46:12.840 --> 0:46:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Bills pause on them, the Baltimore Ravens disaster, and the

0:46:21.120 --> 0:46:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Washington Commanders season from hell. Seven teams won twelve or

0:46:28.040 --> 0:46:35.080
<v Speaker 1>more games last year. Two of them, Minnesota and Washington,

0:46:35.440 --> 0:46:41.840
<v Speaker 1>are dead. Another two, Kansas City and Baltimore, are hanging

0:46:41.880 --> 0:46:49.080
<v Speaker 1>on for dear life. Detroit is trying to scrape its

0:46:49.080 --> 0:46:52.920
<v Speaker 1>way in, Philadelphia is in the midst of a free fall,

0:46:54.360 --> 0:47:01.440
<v Speaker 1>and Buffalo's sitting right there. It could not be better

0:47:01.520 --> 0:47:05.880
<v Speaker 1>set up for them. And that's why I am not

0:47:06.120 --> 0:47:10.320
<v Speaker 1>taking Josh Allen going to his press conference and saying

0:47:10.400 --> 0:47:17.880
<v Speaker 1>never a doubt as a shot at me. I'm taking

0:47:17.920 --> 0:47:21.960
<v Speaker 1>it as he's trying to usher as much good karma

0:47:21.960 --> 0:47:24.839
<v Speaker 1>as possible. And you know what, I'm good with it.

0:47:26.600 --> 0:47:32.919
<v Speaker 1>You know, if it, if it's gotta be anybody, I'm

0:47:32.920 --> 0:47:39.680
<v Speaker 1>glad it's them. It's actually like, yeah, they deserve it.
