WEBVTT - NFL Week 9 Reaction: Bills beat Chiefs, Cowboys CRUSHED vs. Cardinals + trade deadline | Nick Wright 0:00:02.120 --> 0:00:05.400 Welcome in. We'll driving the Great episode three eighty seven. 0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:09.160 This episode, as always, is presented to you by our 0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:13.320 friends at boost Mobile. Demn's a huge show today. We're 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:18.119 actually hitting three sports. Obviously, Chiefs Bills, game of the weekend, 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:21.840 the midpoint of the NFL regular season was last night 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:25.840 in a somewhat underwhelming Monday night football game, So we'll 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:28.680 get to all of that. There is something I need 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.560 to say about. This is kind of a takes on 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:35.480 takes segment, but it's also about Brownie James, and we're 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:38.559 gonna get to a little NBA later in the show, 0:00:38.600 --> 0:00:42.040 and right near the top of the show, we're gonna 0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:46.360 do World Series stuff because it'll be brief because I 0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:49.880 know people want to hear my potential pain about Chiefs Bills, 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.800 but I don't know how as a sports fan you 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:55.880 get over that loss if you're the Blue Jays. So 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:59.920 we will get to all of that over the next hours. 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:01.480 So how are you doing this morning? 0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:03.480 I'm doing pretty good, Pops. How you doing? 0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:13.760 I'm doing good, Excited for the show, Excited for I 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.920 have a trick planned for first things first today that 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.000 I don't want to reveal because I don't want anyone 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:24.679 to spoil it, but there is. I'm very excited for 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:29.640 the TV show and well again we'll talk about what 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:34.160 we might revisit this on Thursday. But today the TV show, 0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.960 hopefully always, is pretty good. Today I have something special planned, 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:39.560 so I'm excited for that and excited to talk to 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.680 you guys.

It lets you know when we go live, 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.720 do three or four of these a week. Subscribe on YouTube, 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.080 subscribe on iTunes, Spotify, all of that right now, quickly 0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.400 straight the voicemail brought to you by our friend at 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:05.120 boost Mobile. The Dolphins part ways with General Andrew Chris Greer, 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:08.040 and that is likely going to be phase one of 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:13.119 a three phase teardown. Chris Greer will be first. Mike McDaniel, 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.240 I know there is some reporting, if you can call 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:20.520 NFL insiders reporting these days. By the way, thank god 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:24.160 Jade and Daniel who we saw his elbow go backwards. 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.840 The insiders explained to us, not as bad as it 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.760 could have been. Man. That's so fortunate because so often 0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.200 those NFL insiders say to us, holy shit, that injury 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:36.880 is way worse than we thought. Man, oh man, I 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:41.560 mean we are on a seven hundred injury streak in 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.519 a row streak of you know what could have been worse. 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:52.040 So that's the talk about Jaden. I feel sick for Jaden. Yeah, 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:55.400 and we'll get to that later because this is where 0:02:56.240 --> 0:03:00.560 I have to wear the black hat and have the 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:03.440 unpopular take that everyone knows is correct. But we will 0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.600 wait on that. So how did I even get there? 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.120 I don't even remember know how we got there? 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:09.919 Uh oh? 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:12.680 Because I was saying the insiders were saying Mike McDaniel's 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.640 job might be safe. I would be shocked by that. 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.600 So Chris Breer is part one, Mike McDaniel's Part two, 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.400 and then two of course is part three job back 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:25.919 from his suspension. He's he's gonna blow it. He's gonna 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:29.440 blow the whole thing. And this is where I once 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:40.080 again Demon's present my mercurial talented but underachieving Southeastern point 0:03:40.080 --> 0:03:44.600 guard three way trade where John Moran goes to Charlotte, 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:49.240 Lamello goes to Atlanta, and Trey Young goes to Memphis. 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:54.200 I asked, once again, who says no? Like? 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:55.640 Why is well? 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.200 Can we please just. 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.480 Send new scenery. 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:05.320 Everybody needs some new scenery. Listen, Atlanta probably is like 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.320 we would rather have Job than Trey All I'm sorry, 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.560 rather have Jovan LaMelo. The problem is we're not fixing 0:04:11.680 --> 0:04:15.360 jobs problems by sending him from Memphis to Atlanta. I 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:20.360 think the Appalachian Mountains in North Carolina could do him 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:24.080 some good. And Cam Little hits a sixty eight yard 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.840 field goal, and his record barely stood for a day 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:31.000 because Brandon Aubrey tried to beat it last night. All right, Demante, 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.080 before we get to Bill Chiefs, before we get to 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:34.840 Bronni in the rest of week nine, let's do a 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:35.839 little World Series. 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:39.200 So we obviously had a crazy weekend of NFL football, 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.600 but yeah, the World Series came to a conclusion on Saturday. 0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:46.679 It was a crazy Game seven, so let's talk about yeah. 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:50.680 So listen, Congrats to the Dodgers. Congrats to anyone who 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:54.440 took my advice given on this pod and on TV 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.919 that I did not take. And I am sick to 0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.799 my stomach on when I said before the World Series 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:04.479 on this pod that Yamamoto at thirty two to one 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:08.360 to win MVP, I thought was decent. And then after 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:14.679 Game two and then Thursday before Game five on this pod, 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.480 I said Yamamoto was still sixteen to one. I ain't 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.120 got to good MVP bet, and then I didn't make it. 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.960 I am just I can't believe it. And by the way, 0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:29.400 I needed some wins this weekend because I fired on 0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:32.440 the Chiefs. More on that in a minute. But so 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:36.279 that was a disaster by me. Credit to Dave Roberts 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.800 for great managing. Credit to the Dodgers for in Game 0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:43.160 seven being like, our weakness all year was the bullpen. 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.680 So what if we have four guys pitch, but there 0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:50.480 are four starters that we just don't even have to 0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:55.120 worry about the bullpen. So the Dodgers are deserving champs. 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.599 Do I think they were better in that series? I don't, 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:06.640 but they're deserving champs. With that said, if you're the 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:13.440 Blue Jays, I just don't know how you ever get 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:21.320 over it. That is as haunting of a series loss 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:27.200 as I think you will ever see in sports. And 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:32.359 I understand the twenty eleven Rangers twice were one strike 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.080 away from winning the World Series. 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:35.920 I get that. 0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:43.600 This to me feels more cruel because if you're a 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:47.720 Blue Jays fan, who, by the way, right now, tell 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.960 me in the doc on hard Rock bet where the 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:55.719 Blue Jays are for World Series odds next season. I 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:59.560 bet they're not in the top six. So it's not like, oh, 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.320 we'll be right back there. And by the way, my team, 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:06.640 the Royals, lost a seven game heartbreaker, wasn't expected to 0:07:06.680 --> 0:07:08.479 be back, and then came back the next year and 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:12.360 won it. So maybe the Blue Jays can do the same. 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:18.680 But when you go over that series, if you're a 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:23.680 Blue Jays fan and you think back to all the moments, 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:29.600 you could have won the eighteen inning game. So they're 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.760 tied for the six best odds at fifteen pardon me, 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:39.160 fifteen to one, and the eighteen inning game is not 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:44.280 even one of the four or five biggest heartbreaks. You 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:48.120 think to Game six, when you have second and third 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.640 one out, down one, Well, you think to the fact 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.040 that you were going home up three to two, and 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:57.520 then in Game six, bottom nine, second and third, one out, 0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.600 and it looks like you're gonna get a little blooper 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.120 to score at least one and have the tying run 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:09.120 on third with one out, and then it's caught and 0:08:09.160 --> 0:08:15.920 you're doubled off. Then you think to Game seven, you 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.120 can get an insurance run in the eighth man on second, 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:23.000 nobody out. You strand it. You give up a home 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.240 run two outs away from the World Series to a 0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.920 guy who has hit one home run in the last 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:35.720 six weeks. Then after all that, you have bases loaded, 0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:44.000 one out, bases loaded, one out, a chopper to the 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.800 same guy who ripped your heart out by the way 0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:50.720 before you. The one out is because it looked like 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.280 Vladdie Guerrero Junior hit a walk off home run to 0:08:54.320 --> 0:09:00.640 win the World Series warning track shot. And if either 0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:03.800 doesn't get a good enough secondary lead, or it's just unlucky, 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.920 or he's just not quite fast enough, or he doesn't 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:11.640 slide right, whatever it is, you're out at home by 0:09:11.679 --> 0:09:17.480 an inch by one inch, but still that's just two outs. 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:23.520 Then you hit a bomb to left center and the 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:27.280 guy who is just put in for defense crashes into 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:30.240 the center field and the left fielder and catches it, 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:35.160 so you don't win there. And then in the eleventh 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:39.960 you're down a run second and third, I'm sorry, first 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:45.240 and third, one out and break your bat double play. 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:45.880 I just. 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:52.480 That is as gutting a Championship Series loss as you 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:58.720 will ever see. People can say like people compared it 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:03.080 to the Spurs and the ray Allen game. I don't know, 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:10.720 this was worse. The Spurs were the under like the 0:10:10.800 --> 0:10:14.720 Spurs in the ray Allen game were trailing in the 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:20.400 fourth quarter with two minutes left the and then had 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:25.680 game seven. The Heat were not infirm control, but control 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:30.680 like I don't you can say the if we again, 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.600 if we want to switch it to basketball. The Warriors 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.000 up three to one in the finals, but games five 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:40.240 and six of those finals they got blasted. That Blue 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:46.480 Jays had so many chances to win a championship, and 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.160 didn't I feel sick for him. 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:51.480 I feel after you're saying, like the Blue until the 0:10:51.640 --> 0:10:53.559 very last second, that they were going to win. Those 0:10:53.559 --> 0:10:56.199 other teams, Yes, it seemed like they were done a 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.120 long time ago, so it was no reason to believe. 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:00.000 I get it. 0:11:00.960 --> 0:11:05.480 I up three to two going home, chance to steal 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:10.640 Game six, up with two outs or with one out 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:14.800 in the ninth inning, and then two great chances to 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:20.200 walk it off in the bottom of the ninth and 0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:23.319 then a great chance to at least tie it, if 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:27.120 not win it, in the eleventh, and you just get 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:28.280 beat up. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.240 Hey. Either way, it sounds like some exciting stuff. Should 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:34.679 we start buying some stock into baseball? Maybe talking more 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:35.559 baseball next year? 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:41.880 I listen, I do love playoff baseball. And did you 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:43.760 see the rating for it demon day? 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:45.600 I did not? What was it? 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:50.080 Okay, So I'm gonna you're that this is and then 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:54.880 we'll get the chief spills. I promise. Sixteen million people 0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:59.559 watched Game seven of the NBA Finals last year. Okay, 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:05.840 Pacers thunder. Sixteen million people watched in America. How many 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:09.640 people do you think watched Game seven Dodgers Blue Jays 0:12:09.800 --> 0:12:10.319 in America? 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:13.319 We don't. We don't get to I'll go fifty six. 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:19.960 You went, you said fifty sixty six. Fifty six, okay, 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:23.560 twenty six. So you you're you're bad at these games. 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:29.600 I'm terrible because I don't have a good gauge. But 0:12:29.800 --> 0:12:30.640 that but yeah, so. 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:34.240 The but my point is the fact that it did 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:39.600 more than fifty percent more than Game seven of the 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.200 NBA Finals. 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.440 Like baseball is more America sports than basketball is, all right? 0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:47.599 Or is it just like different when it comes to 0:12:47.679 --> 0:12:48.280 the finals. 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.439 The world's been and it's kind of ebbed and flowed. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.440 But right now like baseball's hot right now, I sound 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:59.040 like Trump, Sorry, but like, uh, the so and I 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.960 thought these playoffs were awesome. I thought these playoffs were 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:08.280 really great. And Daniel says team market size. I get that, 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:13.640 but we don't get credit for Canada. One of the 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:16.920 baseball teams is in a market that doesn't count for 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:21.239 the ratings. So like as small as Indianapolis and Oklahoma 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:26.960 City are. Yeah, yes, LA is bigger than OKC and 0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:30.959 in Indianapolis combined, but not not enough to make up 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:35.800 for that. The rating wasn't because of Los Angeles like it. 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.160 That certainly helped, But no, that was a great it's 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:43.680 a great postseason for baseball. All right, let's get to 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:44.599 Bills chiefs. 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:48.000 All right, it's that time. So the Bills won their 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:52.440 Super Bowl against your Kansas City Chiefs. Uh. Kansas City 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:55.320 is heads into the by five and four as the 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.360 eight seed, and the Bills are the favorite to win 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.760 the one seed. How are you? How do you want 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.520 to do this one? How are you feeling? I mean, well, 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.480 they did get the first one. They got the first one, 0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.599 so now they'll get him in the postseason if the 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:10.720 rules are I mean. 0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.920 That's that's the way it goes. But I let me 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.520 give Buffalo credit because I got listen. I picked the Chiefs. 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:21.520 I bet the Chiefs. I did not think the Bills defense, 0:14:22.360 --> 0:14:25.400 even if the Chiefs had their typical regular season against 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:28.800 Buffalo Vanilla game plan, I did not think the Bills 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.840 defense would be able to keep up with Kansas City. 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.160 And not only they keep up with Kansas City. They 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:40.080 dominated most of that game, and Josh played great and 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:43.880 Patrick played really shaky. That was the first game in 0:14:43.920 --> 0:14:47.720 Patrick's entire career he completed less than fifty percent of 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:53.240 his passes, and they pressured the Chiefs at will, and 0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:56.360 the Bills were the far better team. It was a miracle. 0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:00.720 The Chiefs had multiple possessions down seven and fourth quarter, 0:15:01.120 --> 0:15:04.840 and that last possession when McDermott chose to go for 0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:08.720 a field goal, was coaching malpractice. You have to punt there, 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:12.440 like the going for that field goal and giving the 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:15.320 Chiefs a short field when they're only gonna have twenty 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:19.920 three or twenty two seconds if you punt is just insanity. 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:24.680 I couldn't believe he did it. But set that aside, 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:31.880 Buffalo steadied themselves. Buffalo stayed very alive for their division 0:15:32.000 --> 0:15:35.360 as the Patriots have just a cake schedule moving forward, 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:40.400 and Buffalo ran the ball great, Josh was awesome, and 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:46.160 the defense, which was my concern with them, more than 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:51.760 stepped up. So all of that is true. That can 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:57.040 be true, while it's also true that this does not 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:03.440 change my opinion one percent about what a Chiefs Bill's 0:16:03.480 --> 0:16:08.240 playoff game could look like. And I thought the Bill's 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:13.480 young secondary players Cole Bishop and Xavier Hairston after the 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:18.320 game talking about the tells they saw on tape was 0:16:18.600 --> 0:16:23.480 a big unforced error. Save that infol kids like you're 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:27.080 you're probably going to have to play this team again, 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:32.760 and so listen, Kansas City has its work cut out 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:37.440 for him. But the whole if the playoffs started today 0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:41.680 thing is just meaningless to me. The playoffs don't start today. 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.760 They have eight more games to play. If I now, 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:52.840 did this hurt their chances of winning the division? Sure do? 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:56.320 I still right now? Would I still pick them to 0:16:56.440 --> 0:17:01.080 win the division? I would? And I think that the 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:02.360 Chiefs are going. 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:05.040 To they them as the Super Bowl favorites. 0:17:06.200 --> 0:17:11.880 Yeah, because they're the best team I mean, And I'm 0:17:11.960 --> 0:17:15.159 curious if they're going to add a running back or 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:18.359 a defensive lineman or both or neither at the deadline. 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:23.920 But they added yesterday the most important piece they could add, 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:27.560 which is Josh Simmons came back. Yep, so Josh Simmons 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:32.640 is back. And again no, no, I'm not making any excuses. 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:37.320 The Bills dominated the Chiefs, okay, But as far as 0:17:37.400 --> 0:17:41.320 why it could be different in the playoffs, the Chiefs, 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.560 by the second half of that game were without three 0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:46.879 of their five starting offensive linemen, and without Isaiah Pacheco. 0:17:47.000 --> 0:17:49.520 They're starting running back, all of whom you expect to 0:17:49.560 --> 0:17:51.640 be back for the playoffs. Now you can say, well 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:55.479 the Bills was out at Oliver, but at Oliver's should 0:17:55.480 --> 0:17:58.200 be out. Go ahead. What were you saying? 0:17:58.359 --> 0:18:00.440 I was about to say, Isaiah Pacheco con. I don't 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:01.440 know what that's gonna do for. 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:05.160 Us, But well, it's better than Clyde, I mean better 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:08.600 than and so and again maybe they trade for Breese 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:15.600 Hall today. We'll see, but the one seed is going 0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:20.320 to be Look, so the real damage that was done 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:22.399 is if they had a shot at the one seed 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:29.399 that dwindled massively yesterday. I think the Pats might end 0:18:29.480 --> 0:18:33.320 up the one seed, like we'll see. But as far 0:18:33.400 --> 0:18:38.440 as you want to win the division, you want to 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:42.040 have home playoff games. I'm not ignoring any of that. 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:47.679 With that piece of it said, I don't really know, 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.600 Like it doesn't seem like there's going to be any 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:55.880 soft spots in the AFC playoffs. Like if the AFC 0:18:55.920 --> 0:19:02.119 Playoffs are in one order or another, Bill's Patriots AFC 0:19:02.200 --> 0:19:09.720 North winner, So that's either Steelers or Ravens, Colts, Chiefs, Broncos, Chargers, 0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:12.479 which are the odd Like that would be the Jags 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:16.919 out Chargers in the I don't even know who. You 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:20.159 would say, Oh, I hope to get to play that 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:24.960 team in Round one, and so I just obviously you 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:28.520 wouldn't want to play if you're The Bills are the 0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:31.600 Chief's biggest threat. There's no doubt about that. They have 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:34.880 been year after year. They just can't beat them when 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:38.000 it matters the most. And I've been on the record 0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:41.080 that one day I think they will. I just don't 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:42.479 think that day is today. 0:19:44.720 --> 0:19:47.280 Do you like the of the bye? I think the 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:49.080 buye kind of came in a rough spot. 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:52.399 No, I like it. I actually like that the. 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:56.480 THESS good for Josh Simmons to be out for so long. 0:19:56.320 --> 0:20:00.399 Correct it's very good for Josh Simmons. But here's the 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:03.359 other thing because and this is where I'm just gonna 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.480 look at it a little differently than most because people 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:09.280 are gonna talk about the Chiefs second half of the 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.760 season's schedule and talk about the records of the teams 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:15.679 they face. So let me see what the and we 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:18.280 can put the I know we can throw up the schedule, 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:20.800 but I want to do something. I'm doing something a 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:25.639 little different, which is strength of schedule, more strength of 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.600 remaining strength of schedule. So the Chiefs right now are 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:34.320 dead average, They're fifteenth as far as remaining strength of schedule. 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:38.359 That's not what I'm focused on. What I'm focused on 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:43.120 is this. The first half of the season, the Chiefs 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:49.120 played the following quarterbacks Justin Herbert, Jalen, Hurts, Lamar Jackson, 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:56.440 Jared Goff, the Prince, Josh Allen, along with Russ. 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:58.439 Jackson, Do Gino. 0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:00.919 It no, they didn't play Jackson. They played Russ in 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:05.600 his last game, oh Russell, Wilson, Gino, and Mariota. So 0:21:05.640 --> 0:21:08.920 they played six of the best quarterbacks in football. The 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:12.520 rest of the year, the quarterbacks they face are bow 0:21:12.640 --> 0:21:21.440 Knicks twice Daniel Jones, cam Ward Gino again, and then 0:21:21.680 --> 0:21:26.000 Dak who's really good, but that defense is abhorrent. CJ. Stroud, 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:31.640 who is fine, but that offense is abhorrent, and Justin 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:37.399 Herbert again. So the quarterbacks they play soften up enough 0:21:37.760 --> 0:21:41.240 right now. And I said it on the show yesterday, 0:21:41.280 --> 0:21:44.000 I'll say it again. I think they're gonna go twelve 0:21:44.000 --> 0:21:48.080 and five. I think they sweep the Broncos. I think 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:50.560 they get the win against the Chargers. I think they 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:53.359 have one loss, I don't know what it is, and 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:56.960 they end up winning the division. We'll see if I'm 0:21:57.040 --> 0:22:00.119 right about that. But that's why I'm not panicked, and 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:03.239 I think Hard Rock Bet in Vegas is smart to 0:22:03.240 --> 0:22:11.760 not be panicked as either, And go ahead, pal Oh Casey. 0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:13.720 Hasn't won a game when they're when they allowed twenty 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:17.000 one plus points? Is that something or nothing? 0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:20.240 So that's I put that in the nothing bucket along 0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:23.280 with the their zero to four and one score games 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:27.960 stat I put that in the nothing bucket because would 0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:32.520 people feel better if they hadn't blown out the Lions 0:22:32.560 --> 0:22:34.879 and Ravens if they had just won those like if 0:22:34.920 --> 0:22:38.680 they if the Lions and Ravens wins were closer, then 0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:40.800 they'd be two and four. Like, so I don't really 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:48.359 care about that piece of it. And I the the 0:22:48.440 --> 0:22:52.040 Chiefs have had, you know, some really good games and 0:22:52.080 --> 0:22:56.800 some ugly games. I the Jags game is the game 0:22:57.560 --> 0:23:00.520 that if they don't win the division, if they do 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:03.120 get a rough seed, you're gonna look back on and say, 0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:06.879 we blew it. We were up double digits early. You 0:23:06.960 --> 0:23:10.760 had control of that game. The mahome like, that's the game, 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:16.479 and we'll see how they respond to it. But I 0:23:16.560 --> 0:23:20.720 still think that I think post By they're gonna have 0:23:20.760 --> 0:23:24.320 the best offense in football. And I'm still not scared 0:23:24.359 --> 0:23:27.480 of Denver. Maybe that'll be my famous last word, but 0:23:27.560 --> 0:23:33.480 I watched Denver every single week and Boonicks is a gamer, 0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:37.760 and he is he has been clutched, but man, that 0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:42.520 offense is so bad for the first three quarters, weekend 0:23:42.560 --> 0:23:43.439 week out. 0:23:43.680 --> 0:23:50.520 Yeah, so everybody, everybody's always cooking Patrick Mahomes about his sideline, 0:23:50.560 --> 0:23:52.560 theatrics and his slide and stuff. 0:23:52.960 --> 0:23:56.879 Josh Flopper in the league, Yeah, five years has been Josh. 0:23:57.240 --> 0:23:58.359 It's not even close. 0:23:58.560 --> 0:24:02.880 Head back, yes. 0:24:01.960 --> 0:24:06.520 And and we want to talk about rule changes. Here's 0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:11.280 a rule that I think could be implemented and have 0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:19.040 instant effect. If you make that whiplash motion with your head, 0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:23.919 it automatically triggers that you have to be checked for 0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:33.160 a concussion because that that so like fair is fair 0:24:33.640 --> 0:24:37.119 if you're going to try to take advantage of the 0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:43.119 fact that the NFL has put a real emphasis on 0:24:43.240 --> 0:24:48.800 protecting you, on protecting you and concussion protocol and try 0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:53.000 to get a cheap fifteen yards like that one. The 0:24:53.040 --> 0:24:57.760 one from Josh this weekend was egregious. It was egregious. 0:24:58.040 --> 0:25:03.320 It's like the right, so the the tax on that 0:25:03.520 --> 0:25:05.760 is all right, go in that blue tent. Miss a 0:25:05.760 --> 0:25:10.200 few plays and your answer to the you know, unaffiliated 0:25:12.160 --> 0:25:15.560 neurological consultant who I think the name is. No, I 0:25:15.640 --> 0:25:21.960 was just faking, then, so be it. But then you 0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:24.440 gotta own it. All right. We'll get to Monday Night 0:25:24.440 --> 0:25:26.720 football in a second, but a reminder.
