1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on your home of the Black

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: and Gold Steelers Nation Radio to drive on. Uh, well,

3
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: we had a little seismic shift last night in the

4
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: n f C. The Buffalo Bills go into Kansas City

5
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: beat the Kansas City Chiefs handily. Yeah, stomped him. Um,

6
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 1: we've now seen the Chargers go in there and win.

7
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: We've seen the Bills go in there and win the

8
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: Kansas An the Chiefs if by by playoffs seating. If

9
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: you look at the a f C playoffs, if the playoffs,

10
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: I hate the IF the playoffs today, but wouldn't be

11
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: in it doesn't surprise me. There two and three, three three,

12
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: and they lose tiebreakers to the Chargers and Bills. Yeah,

13
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: good point. Who else they lose to? Uh? They beat

14
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 1: the Browns, it was the Raiders or Denver. I don't know,

15
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. But yeah, Bottomore, Yes,

16
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: Baltomore boom. There are three good losses. But still they're

17
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: gonna fighting with a Yeah after tonight, you could have Baltimore.

18
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: We both think at Baltimore should win tonight. You have

19
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: three teams at four and one in the a f

20
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: C who have all beaten the Chiefs. The Chiefs right

21
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: the road to the there are two games behind the Chargers,

22
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: who they lost head to head to already. The road

23
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl in the a f C will

24
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: not go through Kansas City this year. Highly unlikely. Yeah,

25
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: what's interesting. And oh, by the way, Clyde ever was

26
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: the latter got hurt in that game. Joe Thuney got

27
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: hurting that game. I don't think Kelsey and Tyreek are bad,

28
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: but they both got hurt in that game. You know,

29
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: likely's both Chris Stones didn't play, didn't play. I mean,

30
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: everyone's playing the Chiefs differently this year. And Buffalo built

31
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: themselves to do it, and they're rarely a perfect team

32
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: to do it. Everyone's rushing for to too high safety,

33
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: a lot of speed in the middle of the field,

34
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: and they're really getting physical with Tyreeke and Kelsey and

35
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: banging those guys around, and they're getting away with it

36
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 1: to some degree. And Mahomes doesn't playing well and my

37
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: homes is he's not. And I know you and I

38
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: don't talk a lot great about pro football focus, but

39
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: I read this morning. In Mahomes's career, this was the

40
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: worst grade he got from the pocket in his history,

41
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 1: you know, and it adds up. I mean obviously its

42
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: grades are super you know. I mean it's an a

43
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: student getting to see. It's not you know me in college.

44
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: The way that they're constructed, they need the A student

45
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: to be an a student they really do. Their defense

46
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: is awful. Their defense is the worst in the league

47
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: by any metric. You look at d V O A

48
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: or just traditional stuff off and without Chris Jones, forget

49
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 1: about it. The old line's good, but they're still learning.

50
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: Like the Steelers. I mean, it's all new, and it's

51
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: amazing to say, but they're almost a weapon short. They

52
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 1: don't have Nagia Harris. They that's a great point too.

53
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: It's the other thing I was gonna bring up, Like

54
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: Edwards Hilaire was supposed when they drafted Edwards Hilaire in

55
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: the first round last year, that's what he was supposed

56
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: to be. A weapon. Okay, get him fifteen carries a game.

57
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna catch six or seven passes a game and

58
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: be that third outlet kind of guy. He's not that well,

59
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: he doesn't. He can't pass block because he's tiny and

60
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: he never will be able to. He's not a power runner,

61
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: even though they're old line now is Orlando Brown and

62
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Smiths guys, you can drive people off the ball. They

63
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: I mean if they would have drafted Jonathan Taylor or

64
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: Sweat or Acres or you know, somebody that's a more

65
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: of an every down type guy would have gotten will

66
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: you know, Vante Williams, Oh yeah, right, I mean, like

67
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: I bet they addressed that this year and kind of

68
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: change how they play and make Edwards Hilaire the James

69
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: white guy, because that's all you were is a satellite

70
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: player and still they need something better than me. Cole

71
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: Hardman and now Josh played him right right. I mean

72
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: everyone's Hill and Kelsey, everyone would kill for, but their

73
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: third guy they're okay, you know they wouldn't play here. Yeah, um,

74
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: so right now you have. By the way, I don't

75
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: think gets harder for them because you can't just go

76
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: buy things on the free agent mark anymore. With the

77
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: money they're spending. Chargers have one lost, the Bills with

78
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: one loss, the Ravens right now with one losses and

79
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: assuming that they beat beat a very bad Indianapolis team,

80
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: wounded Indianapolis team, I think they handle him. But you know,

81
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: the Titans are three and two yeah, it doesn't seem

82
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: like the Titans are three and two. No, I'm not

83
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: even sure it matters in that division, right I hear

84
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: I heard a conversation today and it was with the

85
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: Rich Gannon was on serious Radio NFL and he's just

86
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: body asked me if the Titans are a playoff team,

87
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: and I said, I don't think so. I'm like, Rich,

88
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: they play in the FC South. Somebody's somebody's gonna win

89
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: the division. I mean, you should know how the playoff

90
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 1: format works. I mean that means somebody else in the

91
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 1: South is and it's not Jacksonville or Houston. I'm certain

92
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: of that. Jackson the Swasser, the twenties game in a row.

93
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: Here's what that win over Denver did the Steelers not

94
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: in tiebreak over Denver. Yeah. I was hoping we go

95
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: down this road because it's interesting they do. They don't

96
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: have one over the Raiders, but the Raiders seem to

97
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: be in Raider like fashion. They're going the other way.

98
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: They stay there. They start strong every year and then

99
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: they fade away. And they lost the Bears and not

100
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: very competitive. I mean they lost pretty bad and Carl

101
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: looked like the the clock struck midnight yeah, yeah, I

102
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: mean I I was not high on the Raiders of

103
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: the beginning the season. Frankly, I was very wrong for

104
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: the first month. You know, when you're when your head

105
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: coach comes out and they find out that, you know,

106
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: he was using racist mm hm, I mean stuff. It

107
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: has to be a distraction. I mean, of course, yeah.

108
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean there's no fans or butts about it. I

109
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: mean that is a distraction. Players are being asked about,

110
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: the coaches being asked after they lost yesterdays and people

111
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: are asking about this, this email that came out. You

112
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: think the guys in the locker room weren't talking about that.

113
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: Of course, Hey, his coach a racist, and I'm not

114
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: going to dismiss that whole conversation. But he's like it

115
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: was ten twelve years ago or something. He's like, I'm

116
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: not quite sure what I said, you know, and he apologized.

117
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: But it doesn't matter what any of that was. It

118
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: was still doesn't help. Well, you didn't say it, but

119
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: your roaded it hit send. But to your point, look

120
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: at the playoff picture. There's only one coming out of

121
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: the South. Yes, there's only one coming out of the

122
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: East too. Yes, New England barely beat the Texas. So

123
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 1: the question then becomes, are there three out of the

124
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: West or three out of the North? Right, with all

125
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: respect to since he who beat the Steelers, don't I

126
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: still think they're not a playoff team. I mean, I

127
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: don't know if they get to five this year when

128
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: all made some curious decision yesterday. Yeah, Zach Taylor's it's

129
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: the thing with young like he passed on a fourth

130
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: and two play with twenty six seconds left in a

131
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: tie ball game, to try a fifty seven yard with

132
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: your rookie kicker, and nobody can make a kick in

133
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: that game to save their life. Period. You know, you're

134
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 1: setting yourself up to kick of fifty seven or a

135
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: field goal. That was your goal. That's a terrible goal.

136
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: If you go for the fourth, you're at the thirty

137
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: nine yard line, there's twenty six seconds left. If you

138
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: get the first down there, you put yourself in a

139
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: better position to kick, you know, kick the game winning

140
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: field goal. If you miss it, you're at the thirty well,

141
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: I guess you'd be given it Aaron Rodgers at the

142
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, forty seven or forty five, I guess, but

143
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: somewhere in that range, living in your fears, so to speak.

144
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: Mason Crosby had missed three kicks to that point, right,

145
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: all right, and their offense was really sputtering. But if

146
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: your goal is to set yourself up for a fifty

147
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: seven yard field goal, that's not the right goal. That's

148
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: not you're doing it all wrong. And they're better this year.

149
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: I don't think are in the playoff hunt. How much

150
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: of the Steelers are either, That's exactly where I'm going

151
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: with that. But I think Baltimore and Cleveland are gonna go.

152
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: I'd be shocked if they didn't, But crazy things could happen.

153
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: I didn't just saying I didn't, don't say San Diego.

154
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: I think the Chargers are gonna go. I'd be shocked

155
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: at the Chiefs don't end up in the playoffs. Right,

156
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: So the Steelers are really fighting the Bengals, the Broncos,

157
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: and the Raiders, all of whom they've played. Two were

158
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: bad one, we're good for probably the seventh spot. Yeah,

159
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: that's the way I like your chances. And that's the situation.

160
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: You beat Seattle this week, that gets you to three

161
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: and three, you have your bye week, maybe you get

162
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: some guys, some more guys back to it or whatever.

163
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: And certainly people mend you know, you go to Cleveland,

164
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: Um that off, you got two weeks to prepare for

165
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: this game. Um brothisburg and gets a little chance to

166
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: you know, maybe heal up a little bit, some of

167
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 1: these growing injuries as they've had earlier the season, get

168
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: a chance to heal up a little bit, and Baker

169
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: mayfields on a well. But the Browns are a good team, No,

170
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 1: there's no doubt. But even if you lose that game,

171
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: you better win the next two because it's against Chicago

172
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: and Detroit at home. Right, So now all of a sudden,

173
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: you're five and four, and really I think there's six

174
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: good teams in the FC. Well there's five and in

175
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: an a SC South team, but one of those is

176
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: going to go so whatever. So again, you don't have

177
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: to win every game in in a row. If the

178
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: Raiders and Broncos and Bengals are playing as they usually

179
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: do or you know, I mean, you're gonna be in it.

180
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: It's my point, right, I mean there's seven teams. Ago,

181
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: if there were six, i'd be like, I don't think

182
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: they got a shot. But they seven, it's all in

183
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: front of them. I still I'm still not sure exactly

184
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,959
Speaker 1: what the Ravens are. I'm not either. I can't wait

185
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: to watch them tonight. Yeah, and I don't think Indianapolis

186
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: is a good test. But I'm gonna watch start to

187
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: finish every snap of the Ravens. I haven't got a

188
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: chance to do that yet with them. I want to

189
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: see what they look like. I want to see how

190
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: that offensive line blocks. They've got some injuries. Um, you know,

191
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: the secondary he's not as good as it has been.

192
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: I want to see if they you know, if they

193
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: blitz like they have been. I think, you know, I

194
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: know they did against Denver, but yeah, it was Drew

195
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: lock in the second half. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I don't

196
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: think they'll be as blitz happy. A lot of Lamar's played.

197
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 1: I know that Marquis Brown's connecting on big ones or

198
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: dozen't here and they're they're getting some guys back. I

199
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: don't know if they are. I know they're a good team.

200
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: Are they a really good team or are they a

201
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: good team? You know? I mean, are they the tenth

202
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: best team in the league? Are they the fifth? Um?

203
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 1: That's what I'm not sure about with them, right I

204
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: think I stay right now, I think Buffalo is the

205
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 1: class of the a f C. Yes, I thought that

206
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: the beginning to be somehow the Steelers beat them. Um,

207
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, so you've got a quality win there. You know,

208
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: you've got another a f C win there. Two and

209
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: two in the conference right now. Um, you know, we'll

210
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: see where that goes. The Cleveland Browns right now are

211
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: one and two in the conference. Yeah, Kansas City is worse. Yeah,

212
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 1: um yeah so, but I think the f C lays

213
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: out sick to those teams. Something pretty bad would have

214
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: to happen if I'm not to get in. And I

215
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: know the Chiefs are two and three, but they're still

216
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. I mean, they're gonna win ten games probably.

217
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: I look at this if if you're able to split

218
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: with the Browns, split with the Ravens, split split split

219
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: with split with the Bengals, you get the three and

220
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,599
Speaker 1: three in the division. Okay, that's a lot of a

221
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: f C wins. Is maybe the more important thing than

222
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: them beating division wins. And people may look, well, you're

223
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: crazy if you think it's gonna happen. And because the

224
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: Steelers went down there beat Baltimore in Baltimore last year, right,

225
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: they smoked the Browns here last year. I mean, this

226
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be sound like I'm talking through you know,

227
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: steel black and gold colored glasses. But they've owned this

228
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: division for a while and beat the teams in the division,

229
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: and the other teams are built to play the Steelers, right,

230
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? I mean, so I don't

231
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be one in five in the Division six.

232
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean, that would really shock me. They have a

233
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: lot of history against these teams successful, you know, so

234
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: looking back, it would have been great if they could

235
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: have got that win against the Bank Goals. This would

236
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: be a really rosy situation for where they're at. But um,

237
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: I think they have as good as shots, I don't know,

238
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 1: thirty three percent chance to go into the playoffs right now,

239
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: and you've still got some other a f C games left.

240
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 1: They get that they have to play the Chargers in

241
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: l A that looks to them won't be won't be easy,

242
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: but I would imagine that will be filled up with

243
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: Steeler fans. Uh, you get to play the Titans here

244
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: at home, That doesn't look all that hard. No, they should,

245
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 1: They should beat the Titans. Obviously, you get the Bengals,

246
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 1: the Browns and the Ravens. Again, I'm trying to think

247
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: who else they have out of the a f C.

248
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 1: I think that might be it. So it's just going

249
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: to be more than that left on the schedule, somebody

250
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: out of the East. It's gonna be somebody out They

251
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: played the bills, already pay the bills. So then you

252
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: get your you know, you get this game against Seattle

253
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: this week, and you and you looked out on and

254
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: how that falls for you with the Russell Wilson's and

255
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: you've already gotten your tough game in the against the

256
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: NFC Central out of the or North, I should say,

257
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 1: out of the way, right. The rest of those teams

258
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: don't look better than the Steelers. Yeah, the Vikings, Bears

259
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 1: and Lions are Vikings Lions battled to the very or

260
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: end yesterday. And you know, and again I'm I don't

261
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 1: think it's I think it's a little premature to say, oh,

262
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: the Steelers should stomp the Bears or the Vikings. You know,

263
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: there's nobody they should stomp at this point. I mean,

264
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: they're gonna have their issues. But it was a really

265
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: encouraging situation and the way the a f C sled

266
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: out the FC looks really good and really hard, but

267
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: that seven spot is right for the take. Yeah. Um,

268
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, if you look at the teams, okay, you

269
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: think the Chiefs are gonna be in, They're not gonna

270
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: They're not gonna finish two and three, So you put

271
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: them in that upper etchel on there. So you get

272
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: the Bengals, as you mentioned, the Raiders, the Broncos. That's it.

273
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: I can't put I'm not putting. I can't put New

274
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: England in there there. I think they barely beat the Texans. Yeah, yeah,

275
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: and it took a fluke like what were the Texans

276
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: thinking on that punt? Did you see the punch like that?

277
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: What are you doing? This isn't college football. They may

278
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: have still won that game, but it would have been

279
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: a lot more difficult, and it certainly wouldn't have been

280
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,839
Speaker 1: a guarantee. Wouldn't him a short field? Right? Right? So

281
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: that's that's everything at that. I mean the way in

282
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: New England's offenses right now, Mac Jones is the king

283
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: and checked out, like he's checking everything down. If you

284
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 1: punt the ball away and he has to go an

285
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: extra forty yards, you just ate another four minutes off

286
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: the clock, right, it's not like he's hit hit Tyreek

287
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: over the top on They don't have that guy. I

288
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: don't have that guy and he's not that guy. No,

289
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: they are very this is what they have to be.

290
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: And you know they played that game with only one

291
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: starting offensive lineman for their starters were out. But they're

292
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: just not very talented, you know. I mean I expected more.

293
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: I thought they'd be nine wins, you know, ten, Maybe

294
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: they're not. They're six or seven, six or seven. One

295
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: team and he's a fight for every inch on both

296
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: sides of the ball. Yeah, I mean the Dolphins. Everybody

297
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: was on their Dolphins. They're awful. They might be. They

298
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: have the worst point differential in the league. Their minus

299
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: seventy five through five games. They get to pretty hard

300
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: to dad. They could be bad. Their offense doesn't do anything.

301
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 1: And they beat the Patriots, Yeah they did. Yeah, that

302
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: divisions all of a sudden, garbage too. It's not much

303
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: better than the South. It's like it always is. Yeah,

304
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: there's one team in the East and that's it. That's it.

305
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, interesting, uh, you know some of those outcomes yesterday.

306
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean I see the Ravens lose to Night though,

307
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, you're one game back

308
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: in the division. Yeah, I just I don't see. I

309
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: don't see the Colts being able to pull that off. No,

310
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: I don't either. I think they're in a bad place.

311
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 1: UM mentioned some of the games there. Of course, green

312
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: Bay beats Cincinnati two and overtime over in uh in London,

313
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: Atlanta beats the Jets twenty. The Jets are just bad.

314
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: I mean the bad teams in the FC. You're bad,

315
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: four or five of them that I'll be fighting for

316
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: that first overall spot with Detroit Minnesota. Minnesota edges Detroit

317
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: nineteen seventeen. How much you caught it that one? Not much?

318
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: I didn't either, But at the end, Detroit makes us

319
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 1: actacular play and I'm like, wow, they keep you know,

320
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: they're they're playing hard and biting knees, doing their thing,

321
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:10,200
Speaker 1: and then before you know it, Minnesota's they find a

322
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: way to lose. So they've lost. I don't think it's

323
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: ever happened in NFL history. They've lost two games on

324
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: last minute kicks of like fifty seven yards and sixty

325
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: six yards, you know, like heartbreakers, you know, the long

326
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: field goals that you know they're right in it. They

327
00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: play hard. I mean, she was better not take them lightly.

328
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: They they play hard. They saw my talent. Uh, Tampa

329
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: Bay beats Miami seventeen. That was seventeen. They wait through

330
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: the first the whole fourth quarter. Yeah, I mean a big,

331
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: big day by a b um. I was talking about

332
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: this before, like, it doesn't shock me that the Miami's

333
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: O line and quarterback situation or a problem right now.

334
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: And frankly, they're running back so like the worst in

335
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: the league two and they have no running game at all.

336
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you wanna watch an offense, it's hard to watch.

337
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: It's way harder to watch than the Steelers. It's you know,

338
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: throw a swing pass to Jaalen Waddle hope he beats

339
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: eleven guys and takes a out. But they had a

340
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: past offense, you know, like they got corners, they're well coached.

341
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 1: Brady has carved them up. Just they have no pass rush,

342
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 1: just carved them up. Yeah. It's just nothing there, and

343
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: sooner or later the damn is gonna burst. Yeah, and

344
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: the defense is always on the field, and you know

345
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: Brady's gonna figure it out at some point that you

346
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: have you have to do something offensively to keep him

347
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: off the field because the more chances you give him

348
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: to see your defense, the more opportunity he's going to

349
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: figure it out. You run for like thirty yards, you

350
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:36,280
Speaker 1: know that's that ain't gonna get it done. And frankly,

351
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: I don't think two was gonna come back with a

352
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 1: Superman ass on his shirt. And you know, the Saints

353
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: going to Washington win thirty two. It's continuing their jack

354
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: and hide season. The Washington football team defense is horrific. Yeah,

355
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: I mean it's like the most disappointing unit in the

356
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: league to me. I mean it's bad week after week

357
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: and every week I go, well, I'll Chase Young and

358
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: the guys, they'll get it all figured out. No, I

359
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: mean coverage Boss sack yesterday because he didn't have one

360
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: yet this year. I don't know, but he's done nothing

361
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: all year. You know, Saints are there. They are the

362
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: jackal one high team. I don't know what they are,

363
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: but they had some big plays. Winston put the ball

364
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 1: in Harm's way here and there. But um Camara got

365
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: finally heavily involved, which was good to see. Yeah, I

366
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 1: was looking at that today. Um he's everything. I think

367
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: three point eight yards for three point nine yards and

368
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 1: carry the same as Nausea Harris. That makes sense. They

369
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: get a far better offensive line by reputation your weapon,

370
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: but much better offensive Just kind of shows you how

371
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 1: teams are loading up to stop the run against them. Yeah,

372
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's tough for a back to do a

373
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 1: lot if he's the only show in town. Philadelphia beats

374
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: Carolina teen. They were behind that entire game, and Sam

375
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: Donald threw what three interceptions in the game, turned into

376
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 1: a pumpkin a little bit. Yeah, yeah, I mean he's

377
00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,560
Speaker 1: looked good with them, but it's been really not rudim

378
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: entry but very defined reads, you know, and for some reason,

379
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: Panthers O line, despite having no talent, didn't really show

380
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: as a liability before this game. Fletcher Cox and our boys,

381
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: Yvonne Hargrave were wrecking the house and is having a

382
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: great year. It's an Aaron Donald like here, you know,

383
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: he's been awesome. And they missed McCaffrey, and you know,

384
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 1: Caroline is probably a five hundred team with said and done,

385
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,879
Speaker 1: and it was a nice start against some bad teams,

386
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: you know, like Oakland right now, Yeah, should say yeah,

387
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 1: I agree. Uh. Tennessee beats Jacksonville nineteen, not that that's

388
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: anything super. It gets twenty in a row now for

389
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: the Jaguars or something like that. New England beats Houston barely. Yeah,

390
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: Davis Mills was playing well against them. They were down

391
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: I think so. Yeah. I mean you mentioned the Belichick

392
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: verse rookie quarterback thing, and it is a track record.

393
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: But Davis Mills wasn't confused or have any problems. It

394
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: was the best game as a pro. Yeah. Chicago goes

395
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: into Vegas and beats the Raiders twenty nine. Controlled the

396
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 1: whole game to nine. Without their top running back. They

397
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: still ran the ball consistently. Defense really beat up on

398
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Yeah, I mean the Bears are it fields.

399
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 1: It wasn't like he made play after play. He just

400
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 1: didn't do much, just didn't make big mistakes, didn't Yeah, exactly.

401
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: The Chargers two. Yeah, Cleveland went into that game. Everybody's

402
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,040
Speaker 1: talking about great that Cleveland defenses. They're just awesome. They're

403
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: shutting teams down forty seven points. There were over a

404
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: thousand yards of offense in that game. I mean we

405
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: were talking about off the air. I bet the under

406
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 1: I thought those were two of the top five defenses

407
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: in the league. And not to excuse my bed, I

408
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: was obviously very wrong, and and and maybe those defenses

409
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: look better, but that game got to the point where

410
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: those coaches had to know everything about their opponent, you know.

411
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean it was, well, if we if we put

412
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: double tights to the left, we're gonna get covered too,

413
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna run a cover two beat like they

414
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: knew every check to the point where you mentioned the

415
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: Browns are dragging Austin Ekeler into the end zone they

416
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: can get the ball back, because you ever get the

417
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: balls back is probably gonna win the game. And one

418
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: thing that dawned on me watching those two a f

419
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: C powerhouse games, I mean Chargers, Browns, Chiefs, Bills. And

420
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm not banging on Baker Mayfield. I know he's playing hurt,

421
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: but those other three are are superheroes. I mean justin

422
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: Herbert's superhero they're playing chess, He's the Browns are playing checkers. Yeah,

423
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's like the little kid playing with

424
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 1: the older kids on the on the playground. Like they

425
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 1: ran the ball super well, and deep down I think

426
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: their defense is good, but it's hard to keep up

427
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: with the Bills and Chiefs and now Chargers. When your

428
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: quarterbacks care taker, you know he's a Kirk Cousins, that's

429
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: gonna be tough for the Browns. They scored forty two points.

430
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: He put the ball in the air thirty two times.

431
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: They ran the ball thirty five times in that game.

432
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,239
Speaker 1: They don't want to get into a game where they

433
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:14,239
Speaker 1: forced him to throw the football and Trubb's running all

434
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: over those guys. Hunt looks awesome. You know, my son

435
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: sitting on the couch next to me, like I started

436
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham in fantasy and the three targets. Yeah, and

437
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm about to tell you, but you know,

438
00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 1: like tough. Thankfully, thankfully for me. I put Mike Williams

439
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: beck into my flights right at the last minute. Yesterday

440
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,679
Speaker 1: a monster season. Watched the points pile up there, but

441
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: that three one through the air, four touchdown passes, they

442
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: up a hundred and twelve and three touchdowns on the ground,

443
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: Like it was not pretty at all. And that Brown's defense. Uh,

444
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 1: one of the games we got here, you got Arizona

445
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: beat San Francisco seventeen. It was just justin fields um

446
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: tree lances first career game. I don't know what to

447
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,919
Speaker 1: think of that one. I watched the fair amount of it.

448
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: He looked very over. Yeah, Kyler Murray did not have

449
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: his No, he didn't play his best game. I think J. J.

450
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: Watt batted down like four or five passes he volleyball. Yeah,

451
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: I mean Lance is still I didn't realize this until today.

452
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: I forget who was what podcast I was listening to.

453
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: It's like we need to remember Trey Lance was born

454
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: in the two thousands, like he was. There's only like

455
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks in history and career passes and like he's

456
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: not ready. I mean, he can rely on his legs

457
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: all he wants, but he hasn't played enough football or

458
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: been on this earth long enough to be a starting

459
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: quarterback yet. You know, Jimmy g still stinks. Uh, Dallas

460
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: to starting, Dallas beat the Giants, contender, No, they're just

461
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: a team now Giants or Dallas over the Giants. And

462
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: then last night twenty Buffalo over Kansas City. Uh, we're

463
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: in control that whole game that really were defense is real? Um.

464
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: I knew the Bill's defense was better than last year,

465
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: but if you looked at the quarterbacks on offenses they've

466
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 1: played this year, including Pittsburgh, it was not a murderers row.

467
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: It's Miami and Washington and Pittsburgh. I forget who else,

468
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,919
Speaker 1: but they they did a number of the Chiefs. If

469
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 1: that d is real and we know the offense is

470
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: really good, I'll say this, if you look at the

471
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: scores of some of these games, I know people were

472
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: killing the Steelers defense, Well, they gave up, you know,

473
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: some points in the fourth quarter of that game. They did.

474
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 1: Look at the scores around the league, like some of

475
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: the some of the comebacks. The Chargers scored twenty six

476
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: points in the fourth quarters, and it was like scored

477
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. The Browns had forty one combined points. Again,

478
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: and those are two pretty good defenses. Those are two

479
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: top ten defenses when they when the you know, going

480
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: into the weekend. Yeah, I mean, for example, every team

481
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: has played the Chargers this year had their lowest point

482
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: total of the year before this game. You know, like,

483
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: those are two good defenses. And I believe that the league.

484
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,120
Speaker 1: Though it's hard to play defense in the fourth quarter

485
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: because it's just throw, throw, throw, it makes you wonder

486
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: why more teams just don't do that. Well. I think

487
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: the big key is kind of like we talked about

488
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: earlier is I'm collecting data all game long, and then

489
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,880
Speaker 1: I figured out at the end and I'm not gonna

490
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: let you go practice. You know, you also get some

491
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: urgency risks, and the Broncos go for on fourth down

492
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 1: three times. They wouldn't have played at that. They probably

493
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 1: would have kicked in a couple of this, you know,

494
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: from a couple from midfield when it was in their

495
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: own end, and the other one from midfield. They're kicking

496
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,680
Speaker 1: in those situations early in the game or you know,

497
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 1: the first quarter. The other thing I thought you were there,

498
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: maybe you can tell better. And I'm gonna watch it again,

499
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 1: and I watch it all twenty two. I thought the

500
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 1: Broncos kind of changed what they did where it seemed

501
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: like the Steelers left their corners on Patrick and and

502
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: Sutton and crowded the middle of the field. And we're

503
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 1: more worried about fans about fan and Fan didn't run

504
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: many routes us in chipping what and Bridgewater is not

505
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,719
Speaker 1: a drive the ball outside the numbers, dude, But whenever

506
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: the going he challenged the one on one matchups and

507
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: their guys one more than they lost. You know, Sutton

508
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: and Patrick played really well. Yeah, so it was an

509
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: interesting weekend to be to be sure, a huge fantasy,

510
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: huge fantasy weekend. I would saying there was like five

511
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: massive trends. Missed extra points and field goals, injuries, fantasy galore,

512
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: Lots of rookies like Nazs breakout. There is Tony you know,

513
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: not necessarily the quarterbacks, but a lot of those guys

514
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: really stepped up. So there was a lot of like

515
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: trends this week that you got a month under your belt,

516
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: teams are starting to show you what they are. Yeah,

517
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: we'll talk about that when we come back. We do
