Episode three sixty nine. 0:00:04.920 --> 0:00:06.920 This episode of What Dry with Nick Grid has presented 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:11.160 to you, as always by boost Mobile. Demon's a great 0:00:11.200 --> 0:00:12.920 to see you. We're gonna get right too, Straight to 0:00:13.000 --> 0:00:15.600 voicemail because we have so much to get to today. 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:17.960 Straight to voicemail. Brought to you, of course by our 0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:22.439 great friends at boost Mobile. This is dope. Shout out 0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:26.360 Harry Styles. He ran a marathon, did it in under 0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:30.440 three hours, did it under a fake name, and in 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:34.839 you know I costumes the wrong word but you know, incognito. 0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:38.320 I think that's super sick. Speaking of marathons, I turned 0:00:38.320 --> 0:00:41.040 forty one in ten days, instaid I was gonna do 0:00:41.080 --> 0:00:46.040 a triathlon before I turned forty one. I think I'm 0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:50.559 gonna fail on that little self improvement commitment. Fell a 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:54.120 little shy of the swimming and running training. The biking 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.760 portion I'm good for. But uh but I maybe before 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.200 I'm forty two. So that was something I really I 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:04.200 was gonna do and then I didn't do. Syracuse fined 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:07.280 for faking injuries and a win versus Clemson doesn't matter. 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.959 We beat Clemson, Syracuse can pay for it. And in 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:17.039 you know news that sucks, and you just feel like 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:21.560 this team is snake bitten. Nicky Bosa tears his ACL 0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:25.240 and the nine the Niners seem demands ay to either 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:30.240 be the healthiest, deepest team in the league going into 0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:35.000 a deep playoff run, or just ravaged by injury before 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:39.000 we even get toked Ober with no in between. Just 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.759 every year it feels like that. I and so that's 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.200 a tough one for Nick Bosa. I don't know if 0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:49.360 any team could feel worse about a three and oh 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:53.760 start than these Niners given all those injuries. Also, before 0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.360 we get to the news of last night, which was 0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:04.640 the Baltimore Raven losing to the Detroit Lions in what 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:10.200 I consider a little demoralizing fashion. Before we get to that, 0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:15.440 a reminder for everyone like rate subscribe review Now, I'm 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:19.680 not I'm not calling anyone out here. I want to 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:25.679 make this very clear. However, my little competitive nature, my 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:32.040 back has gotten up a bit because I've noticed popping 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:37.920 up along the landscape new shows or shows similar to 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:42.640 this podcast, YouTube whatever, that are out of nowhere, and 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:47.840 before they even start, they've got hundreds of thousands, and 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:51.800 in some cases millions of subscribers. And I'm like, how 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:56.640 hell's that happen? And then I realized, like, oh, these 0:02:56.760 --> 0:03:02.079 folks are like transferring or buying or starting you know 0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:06.240 what I mean. It's the podcast version of being born 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.040 on third base and the world thinks you had a 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:13.960 triple We demanse we grew this from the dirt, from 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:18.040 the from zero subscribers, and I don't know where we're 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.440 and I was very very happy with our like I 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.840 don't know whatever we have, whatever, our numbers are a 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:26.000 few hundred thousand, But then I see folks starting out 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.400 of nowhere with millions, and now I feel like I 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:33.200 really need you guys to like, rate, subscribe, review, I really. 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:36.520 Because please, folks. We got two hundred nineteen thousand. 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:38.960 Two hundred nineteen thousand, So that's pretty good for a 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:43.480 show that started initially with you setting up the cameras 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.640 in our house and then you co hosting and also 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.560 setting up the cameras in your mom's store, and now 0:03:50.920 --> 0:03:55.760 it's a full grown business. But still, yeah, I'd love it, 0:03:55.840 --> 0:04:01.040 so please and on iTunes and Spotify, subscribe, and on YouTube, 0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.800 you know, get the alert, subscribe, give us five stars, 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.800 all of that. All right, Demon's a tough night for 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:12.360 your Baltimore Ravens and take us through before we get 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:12.680 to it. 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.200 So last night, my Baltimore Ravens, we coughed up another one. 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.120 Lamar was running for his life, Derek Henry with another 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:23.679 costly fumble. Detroit came back on the next drive, converted 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.080 on fourth, got a touchdown. So we did it for 0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.240 your team, we should do it for my team too. 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:31.359 Should I be worried about my Ravens with how everything's 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:32.159 going at the moment. 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:37.040 So I'm glad you listen. I'm glad you put it 0:04:37.080 --> 0:04:40.359 in that context. We did it for the Chiefs for 0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:43.479 being zero in two and now one and two. Should 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.600 we do it for Baltimore? And it is a very 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:53.520 interesting test of sports media today and who has and 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:59.800 has not earned benefits of the doubt because eye, silly me, 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:05.640 Chiefs Homer, lifelong Kansas Citian, got a tattoo about the team. 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:10.720 Silly me. I would have thought that a team that 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:16.960 has been to seven consecutive conference championship games, been to 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:21.120 five of the last six Super Bowls, won three of 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.920 the last six Super Bowls, and been to three straight 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.560 that if any team would have earned a benefit of 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:31.200 the doubt for sputtering out of the gates, it would 0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:35.359 be the Chiefs, but I was wrong. It was a 0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:42.320 lot of talk about how systemically the team may be broken, 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:47.640 about Patrick not being as good as he once was, 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:51.840 Andy's play design not being as creative as it once was, 0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:56.520 and about how this team just isn't scary anymore. And 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.400 you know, an at that we'll get to in a minute, 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:05.719 when over the New York Giants didn't exactly quiet that 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.160 for most people. We'll get to my thoughts on it 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:11.480 in a second. And the tackle that turned the tide trademark, 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:18.240 as Kevin Wilds would say, I wonder how folks are 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:23.479 going to discuss the Baltimore Ravens now that they are 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:29.160 one and two with the one victory being an uninspiring 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:34.880 one over the Cleveland Browns. Now that they the Baltimore Ravens, 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:38.040 who the benefit of doubt that they have earned is 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:46.040 being to zero consecutive Super Bowls, zero in the last decade, 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:52.160 one conference championship game appearance. If we are going to 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:59.520 look at the Baltimore Ravens defense with the same critical 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:04.040 eye that we have looked at the Kansas City Chiefs offense, 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:09.359 a Baltimore Ravens defense that ultimately last year was not 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:13.280 good enough, that up to this point this year has 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:18.680 been down right awful, a Baltimore Ravens team that, on 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:25.880 top of that, seems to situationally not be the most 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.520 buttoned up in football, and a Baltimore Ravens team that, 0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:33.920 all of a sudden second best player seems to have 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.360 an odd fumbling problem. Now, I don't know if you 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.560 agree with me or not on this, Demanse. I do 0:07:40.680 --> 0:07:43.600 not think that game was lost on the Derrick Henry fumble. 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:48.640 I think that that game was lost on the Ravens' 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:55.120 entire inability to get us to stop Detroit from doing 0:07:55.160 --> 0:07:56.680 whatever they wanted on the ground. 0:07:57.200 --> 0:07:57.840 Yeah, that's fair. 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:03.920 And the two ninety five plus yard drives of Detroit 0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:08.680 just running it down their throat, to me was a 0:08:08.720 --> 0:08:14.240 flashing red light of concern. And it is you know, 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:21.480 it's kind of perfect that, you know, the Chiefs and 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:24.880 the Ravens now play each other on Sunday, because one 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.120 of these teams is going to be zero and three 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.960 with three losses to the three legitimate teams they faced, 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.000 and the other team's gonna be two and two. And 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.320 have studied the ship and we'll talk obviously more about 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.679 that game on Thursday and Fridays, I think, but. 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:45.199 Oh oh yeah, go ahead, we'll talk about I was 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.120 gonna say, what do you think with Kansas City winning 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.720 and Baltimore coming off this loss, that it's a bad 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:53.440 scenario for the Chiefs. Could be a potential trap game? Well? 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:56.440 No, that again, this is I blame Wilds for this, 0:08:56.600 --> 0:08:59.600 not you. No, And nobody seems to understand what trap 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:04.559 game means anymore. Trap game you're talking about maybe letdown 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.920 spot or something. Trap game? 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:08.560 Is you what? 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:13.679 So let's say the Chiefs had been two to zero 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.720 going into the Giants game with the Ravens coming up 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.880 the following week, then the Giants are a trap game. 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:25.720 Trap game is team flying high facing a bad opponent 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:30.000 with a good opponent coming up. Trap game. Perfect example. 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:34.520 Trap game is what the Packers just dealt with looking great, 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.760 have the Cowboys, you know, kind of not revenge, but 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.880 a big Mica game coming up, and then the Browns 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:44.720 beat them. That's a trap game. The Chiefs playing the 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:48.360 Ravens like not a trap game. It is a What 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:52.520 you're talking about is the Ravens all of a sudden 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:57.720 potentially more desperate coming off the loss. But desperation is, 0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:02.560 you know, accounts for something. Whether or not this team 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.680 is quite as good as everyone assigned them as being 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.199 is something else. And so let's talk about the actual 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:15.920 game itself. So the Ravens defense was disastrous start to finish. Now, 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:18.240 they didn't have nom Di Matabuque, but I don't know 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:21.040 when they're getting him back. They didn't have Kyle van Noy, 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:24.680 but I don't know when they're getting him back. And 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:30.760 Rokwan Smith was not good. Historically, he's been excellent last year, 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:36.079 was a little shaky. Last night he was not good. Obviously, 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.320 folks are gonna focus on the Derrick Henry fumble. I 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:43.000 want to talk about Lamar for a second. And again 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:51.160 I texted this Greg Rosenthal this morning about alleged you know, 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.320 because Greg said he didn't want to be lumped in 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.760 with the quote Lamar haters, And I texted Greg, I 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:01.440 was like, the Lamar haters group is just Bill Pollion 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.560 from a decade ago in a draft evaluation. And I 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:08.520 guess me, because everyone else in the media is in 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:15.960 pretty much lockstep that this guy is simply unimpeachably great 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:18.880 and one of the greatest players we've ever seen. And 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:20.960 while I do think he's one of the greatest players 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:26.840 we've ever seen, I think last night he was not 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.440 quite as good as the numbers suggest. And let me 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.720 tell you why now. Not just because that I don't 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:36.640 really care about the final eighty yards and touchdown when 0:11:36.679 --> 0:11:38.960 they were down fourteen with less than two minutes left. 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.440 That's not what I'm talking about. Even before that, like 0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.240 you started the game nine of ten, his pass rating 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:48.400 was crazy. He was making some really good passes. There 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:54.920 are two things last night that I feel are not 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.520 one offs that if I were a Raven fan would 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:06.480 be concerning. One is Lamar's refusal to throw the ball 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:12.319 away and his hesitation to just take off and run, 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:19.480 And those two things combining to him being sacked seven 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:26.120 times is just a killer. Like he was great when 0:12:26.120 --> 0:12:29.440 he threw the ball, but he needed to throw the 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:33.000 ball a little more or a little quicker or take 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:38.559 off and run. Those sacks were drive killers time and 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:42.040 time again. So that's the kind. 0:12:41.880 --> 0:12:44.840 Of potato crazy. And it being seven sacks, that's something 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.680 that will get corrected pretty fast. 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:52.960 Yes, I would think so, But it was the concern 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.120 there is it wasn't corrected during the game. It was 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:59.280 five sacks, you know, when they were still in the 0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:04.439 game and still on that last drive before the drive 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.480 when they punted with like six minutes left, you know, 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:11.000 he took he got sacked once there and then another 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:17.640 one he ran, but it was essentially a sack, like, yeah, exactly, 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:22.160 and here's the other one. And I'm just curious if 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:28.880 other people noticed it. Man, he seemed to be wound 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:30.680 tight from the opening snap. 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.640 He was pissed off the whole game. Yeah, he was 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.440 tilted the entire time I saw it. I don't know 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.280 what it was. It was like very simple stuff in 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:38.800 the beginning. 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:44.160 So weird that the first drive of the game that 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.080 they didn't score. I don't know which dride it was, 0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:48.840 but the first time they went three and out, his 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:58.000 like body language and emotions are really yeah and so 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:07.360 and that is we have seen that Lamar a handful 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:11.920 of times before. It Unfortunately for him, more often than 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.360 not is in the playoffs, where like early in the game, 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:19.680 you're like, oh, he is anxious about this spot, but 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.640 they were coming off a win like that. I didn't 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.920 really get it. Why the last time they played Detroit, 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:30.680 they annihilated him. He has a hilarious record in his 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:34.960 career against NFC teams. I'm gonna pull it up real 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:37.920 quick because it now obviously I think he was like 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.400 twenty three and one. Say it again, Okay. 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.720 I thought at this point he has like four losses 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:45.560 total from the NFC. It might be less than that. 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:50.680 Apparently, I think it's less too. The so lamar, No, 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:54.800 you were right, you nailed it. So going into last night, 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:59.160 he was twenty four and four in against the NFC, 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:03.680 with forty eight touchdowns, nine picks, and like a one 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.960 to oh eight rating. I think maybe he had at 0:15:06.960 --> 0:15:10.200 some point won like twenty straight or something. Whatever it was. 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:14.280 He had had a ridiculous record against the NFC. He 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:18.120 had beaten they annihilated the Lions last time they played 0:15:19.280 --> 0:15:22.920 he they had just come off a win, and the 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:27.600 offense had been great in both games, or they scored 0:15:27.640 --> 0:15:30.280 forty points in both games. It was just a weird 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:38.600 spot for him to be wound tight immediately, and those 0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:45.280 things concerned me. Man. So here is here is the 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:53.560 I think fair read. Given everything I've said about the 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:57.640 Chiefs being fine about where the Ravens are as they 0:15:57.680 --> 0:16:01.240 now both sit at one and two. It is hard 0:16:02.360 --> 0:16:04.280 like what either the Chiefs or the Ravens are gonna 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:08.760 be one and three Sunday night. It will still be 0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:15.080 so hard to find seven AFC playoff teams without including 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.320 both of the Chiefs and the Ravens. And here's why 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.240 the Bills are three and oh they're excellent. The Chargers 0:16:21.280 --> 0:16:26.280 are three and oh they're excellent. Okay, here is the 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.760 entire list of teams other than Bills and Chargers in 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:34.680 the AFC that currently have a better record than the 0:16:34.760 --> 0:16:37.480 Ravens and Chiefs. At one and two, we're two teams. 0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.160 The call to are three and oh, who look excellent, 0:16:41.520 --> 0:16:44.200 But I think there is still a little bit of 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:48.560 waiting for the bottom to fall out. And then there 0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:54.720 are only three other teams, and they all feel totally fraudulent. 0:16:58.200 --> 0:17:04.680 They the Cincinnati Banks, well, the Cincinnati Bengals who don't 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:10.320 have their quarterback, the Steelers who are not good, flatly 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:14.480 not good. And I worry side, you know, preview to 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:18.720 Knicks Picks. I cannot wait to be on the Vikings 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:23.600 this weekend as they play a London or an Ireland game, 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:28.040 and that defense going after Aaron Rodgers, and then the Jags. 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:35.520 Who I man, I can't. I have not been pleased 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:38.240 with how the Jags have played through three weeks. That's 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.760 it right at the and I know it's the playoffs 0:17:40.800 --> 0:17:44.080 obviously don't start today. If the playoffs started today, the 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.359 AFC would have a one in two playoff team like 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.560 one of the one and two teams would make it. 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:54.680 So I will not say that the Ravens at one 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:58.720 and two or even at one in three should panic 0:17:59.720 --> 0:18:03.399 as is making the playoffs. What I will say is 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:09.040 one of the reasons I have this confidence about the 0:18:09.160 --> 0:18:14.320 Chiefs is for a nearly a decade now, every single 0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:18.119 year they play their best ball in the postseason, home 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:21.600 or road. No, they play their best ball in the postseason. 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:25.000 Particularly the AFC side of the bracket. Haven't obviously always 0:18:25.040 --> 0:18:29.000 played their best ball in the super Bowl, but in 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:31.320 the postseason they had or in the AFC side of 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:43.520 the bracket they have. The Ravens are the opposite. And 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:51.920 I think that the defense last year looked hugely problematic 0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:56.359 and then turned it around at mid season. I don't 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:58.920 know if they're going to be able to do that again, 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:02.800 and so they are still very. 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:06.360 Politent like this. This is a good offensive, I would 0:19:06.359 --> 0:19:08.640 I don't want to call them offensive juggernaut, but damn near, 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:12.800 it's a pretty good team. They're gonna have you. But 0:19:13.000 --> 0:19:15.000 like you see, you're one of the better teams. You 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:16.640 got to be able to beat the good teams. 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:21.280 Correct, right, it's the the Ravens are trying to win 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:24.720 a Super Bowl. They're going to have to go through 0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:29.679 the Bills, Kansas City, the Chargers just to get to 0:19:30.240 --> 0:19:34.800 whomever is in the other side of the bracket. And 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:42.160 if you were to tell me right now, honestly, if 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:45.399 you have an all time legend at quarterback, like the 0:19:45.520 --> 0:19:50.240 Chiefs and the Ravens both do, what would you rather 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:54.760 if you're going to have to have one part of 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:58.919 your team really be struggling early in the season, what 0:19:58.960 --> 0:20:03.159 would you rather be? Me personally, I'd rather be the 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.640 side of the ball that my all time legend can 0:20:06.720 --> 0:20:13.399 help correct. So, like, if you're Kansas City, you the 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:17.120 offense has not looked good, but Patrick is directly involved 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:20.159 in that and has months to figure it out. If 0:20:20.200 --> 0:20:24.560 you're Baltimore, the defense has looked awful. Lamar's on the 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:31.480 sidelines for that, and so that to me is legitimate 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:34.920 reason for concern. All right, let's talk the Lion's side 0:20:34.920 --> 0:20:36.680 real quick, Demanse well S. 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:39.760 Yeah, they struggled in Week one versus Green Bay, but 0:20:39.840 --> 0:20:42.520 they've been humming ever since. They are fifth in Super 0:20:42.560 --> 0:20:44.560 Bowl odds. Do you think that's too high, too low, 0:20:44.960 --> 0:20:45.480 or just right? 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:50.359 I don't mind it. I listen. I've been really impressed 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:55.560 by how they've responded to that Week one performance and 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:59.920 last week putting fifty on the Bears, and this week, 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:03.880 I mean they've scored what ninety points in their last 0:21:03.920 --> 0:21:08.800 two games after having six points going late, you know, 0:21:09.040 --> 0:21:14.400 late in Week one. Really impressive. And Dan Campbell's game 0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:20.679 management is excellent. That going for that fourth down was 0:21:20.840 --> 0:21:24.520 objectively the right call and a call a lot of 0:21:24.640 --> 0:21:29.800 teams up seven wouldn't have done. And you know he 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:34.840 is doing a lot to push towards will be fine 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:41.439 without Ben Johnson. So yeah, no, the Lions look really, 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:45.399 really good. Today's show is brought to you by our 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:49.280 new presenting sponsor, hard Rock Bet.

All right, demans, let's 0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:27.479 get to the Chiefs saving their season please? 0:23:28.040 --> 0:23:30.879 All right? Yeah, So, as we all know, your Chiefs 0:23:30.880 --> 0:23:33.800 got their first victory against the Giants this year, and 0:23:33.840 --> 0:23:36.080 you're already back on the never a doubt train with 0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:41.280 your tweets. Ugh yeah, so Vegas is. Vegas isn't buying 0:23:41.359 --> 0:23:43.960 into their height though they've got them as home dogs. 0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:47.439 To my Ravens is Sunday minus three. So what are 0:23:47.480 --> 0:23:49.560 you seeing different about the Chiefs that Vegas is not? 0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:54.080 Well? Listen, I I'm not gonna act like the Chiefs 0:23:54.160 --> 0:23:58.679 looked great Sunday night against the Giants. They obviously didn't. 0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:03.959 That first half was horrifying. The first half was really 0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:10.080 truly awful. So let me talk what I do think though, 0:24:10.240 --> 0:24:12.719 And I told this story on the TV show. I'm 0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:18.560 gonna tell it again here because having an encyclopedic memory 0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:21.960 about the Patrick Mahomes era for the Kansasity Chiefs can 0:24:22.119 --> 0:24:25.280 pay dividends. And so let me tell you guys a 0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:30.280 quick story. In twenty twenty, the Chiefs with the defending 0:24:30.400 --> 0:24:34.400 champions went back to the Super Bowl and got blasted 0:24:34.440 --> 0:24:38.840 by Tampa Bay. The next year, not only did they 0:24:38.880 --> 0:24:42.080 start out three and four, but Mahomes had the first 0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:47.920 real slump of his career. Is with Kelsey this Tyreek. 0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:51.960 They get blown out by Buffalo, they get blown out 0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:57.280 by Tennessee. They then play the Giants and need a 0:24:57.280 --> 0:25:00.240 field goal with a minute left to be a four 0:25:00.320 --> 0:25:06.280 and eventually four win. Joe Judge Giants team to get 0:25:06.320 --> 0:25:11.080 to three and four. The very next week, they play 0:25:11.119 --> 0:25:15.239 the Packers in the game Aaron Rodgers can't play in 0:25:15.400 --> 0:25:18.440 because of That's how we found out he didn't have 0:25:18.560 --> 0:25:22.280 the COVID vaccine because he was on the COVID list. 0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:25.760 And Jordan Love in his first career start comes to 0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:30.399 town and it's one of the ugliest games ever and 0:25:30.480 --> 0:25:34.639 with two minutes left. It is thirteen to seven Kansas City, 0:25:35.000 --> 0:25:41.720 and Mahomes has played terribly okay, And it is third 0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:46.600 and ten and a first down wins the game. And 0:25:46.640 --> 0:25:48.639 they don't get a first down, and they could lose 0:25:48.720 --> 0:25:54.040 outright and fall to three and five, and Patrick play 0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:58.720 breaks down. Patrick scrambles to his right off one leg, 0:25:59.280 --> 0:26:02.840 zips in a laser down the sideline to ice the game. 0:26:03.760 --> 0:26:06.200 And I went on TV the next day and said, 0:26:06.400 --> 0:26:11.000 I believe that's the moment Patrick snapped out of his funk. 0:26:11.560 --> 0:26:15.680 I believe that is the moment that the Chiefs will 0:26:15.720 --> 0:26:18.560 be the Chiefs again. And the rest of the season 0:26:18.600 --> 0:26:22.440 they lost one time and made it to the AFC 0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:25.840 Championship Game, where they did lose to the Cincinnati Bengals. 0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:28.159 But the rest of it, from that moment forward, they 0:26:28.200 --> 0:26:33.680 were as good as any team in football. This year, 0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:39.040 they get blown out in the Super Bowl. They look 0:26:39.280 --> 0:26:43.280 terrible through two weeks. They are playing the New York Giants. 0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:49.040 It is a tie game. Approaching halftime, Patrick attempts to 0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:52.520 swing past Isaiah Pacheco, who runs in the wrong direction. 0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:57.199 The ball is live, it is about to be Giants 0:26:57.400 --> 0:27:00.720 thirteen to six, and the Chiefs are going to be 0:27:02.359 --> 0:27:10.280 in dire straits, and Patrick Mahomes runs down the Giants 0:27:10.320 --> 0:27:13.480 player who's about to scoop and score, takes the ball 0:27:13.560 --> 0:27:17.800 back from him, steadies the team, and from that moment 0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:21.080 forward in that game was Patrick Mahomes. 0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:21.320 Again. 0:27:23.480 --> 0:27:27.000 I do think we are going to look back on 0:27:28.359 --> 0:27:34.159 that moment as the moment the Chiefs steadied themselves. Now, 0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:40.680
