1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Welcome to the best of the week for What's Right 2 00:00:02,560 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: with Nick Right the best takes in moments from this 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: week on the show. Enjoy. 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 2: So the Bucks moved to two to zero after a 5 00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 2: late score led by Baker late in the game. Is 6 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,880 Speaker 2: betting Baker down a score late in the game as 7 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 2: much of a lock is good of a lock these days? 8 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: Yeah? Listen, shout out producer Daniel, who texted the group 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: when Baker got the ball back down five? You know, 10 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 1: is this an auto bet? And I think we you know, 11 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,200 Speaker 1: I bet it. I think he bet it. I also 12 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:45,200 Speaker 1: had the Bucks parlayed with the Raiders, so I'm glad 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 1: I bet it because I ended up losing that one, 14 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: so this made up for it. I couple things about that. 15 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:56,639 Speaker 1: One is about the specific game, and then I'll get 16 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: to Baker. I never feel like team or very often 17 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 1: announcers make a big enough deal of the two point 18 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: conversion to go up seven. So last night the Texans, 19 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb breaks off this great run, so they score 20 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,840 Speaker 1: with how much time is left? When they score two? 21 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: Ten left? And that two point conversion they go for 22 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: there is just so wildly important because you get it 23 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: and likely overtimes the worst case scenario, you don't get it, 24 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: and you almost feel like, man, do we wish Chub 25 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: hadn't have scored because if Chubb, if Chubb had gone down, 26 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: and then you're in a position where because they were 27 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: at the time Houston was down, what would they have 28 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: been down? They were down four? Right then, I'm an idiot? 29 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: Why can I not get this right? The they got? 30 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: Why am I so dumb? Right now? The score of 31 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: the game five was fourteen thirteen. Yeah, jesus, they're down one. 32 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 1: I'm such what the hell just happened there? And if 33 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: Chubb doesn't score, all of a sudden, Tampa is having 34 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: to use its timeouts. You're kicking a field goal, you know, 35 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: potentially later. But Chubb does score, that's great. You want 36 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: the seven, but what you need is the eight. They 37 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: don't get the two point conversion, and now Baker's in business. 38 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,639 Speaker 1: All three timeouts two minutes can get going with that said, 39 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: Texans had him in fourth and ten, and then Baker 40 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: did some really cool Baker stuff, escaping the rush, running 41 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 1: seemingly got hurt, then got saved by the fact that 42 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: Chauncey Gardner Johnson was talking trash and all of a sudden, 43 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: he wasn't hurt anymore, and he popped up to talk 44 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: drafts right back to him. Baker is just the best, 45 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:14,360 Speaker 1: and Baker absolutely can win League MVP this year. Absolutely can, 46 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: and the Bucks absolutely can be the one seed as 47 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: predicted on this show. 48 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 2: Bucks, No, why would I? 49 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: I mean, they have played two road games against teams 50 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: that were considered either possible or likely playoff teams. They 51 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:44,120 Speaker 1: could have lost both, and Baker made game winning plays 52 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 1: in the waning moments of both. Now they get the Jets, 53 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: then a tough home game against the Eagles, but they 54 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: play the Eagles really well. Seahawks, Niners, Lions. It's not easy. 55 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: But no, they've got a real. 56 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 2: You're missing a couple of guys on offense right now too. 57 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, Godlin's going to be coming back. No, now, 58 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: I think they lost excuse me, Elijah Cantsey in that game. 59 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: That's concerning. But no, the Bucks are for real now. 60 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: On the Baker piece of it, it really gets lost 61 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: in the shuffle, Demons, not lost in the shuffle. But 62 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: I just want to reiterate this that the Cleveland Browns 63 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: spent the number one overall pick on Baker Mayfield watched 64 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 1: him in his second year win a playoff game for them, 65 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: and then they were like, yeah, he's not good enough 66 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: for us. They're like, yeah, we can do better. You're 67 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns. And you decided that Baker Mayfield was 68 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 1: not uh And I said in his second year he 69 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: won the playoff game. It was in his third year 70 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: he won the playoff game. Pardon me, you decided a 71 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: guy who won a playoff game as a Browns homegrown 72 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: starting quarterback wasn't good enough for you because Odell Beckham 73 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: Junior's dad put out an Instagram mixtape ripping It in 74 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: a year he played hurt It and now you're just 75 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: in hell. It's really really unbelievable. And I love seeing 76 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: Baker have this success. I love it so much. The 77 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 1: flip side demons is panic meter is at a seven 78 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: for the Texans and for CJ. 79 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 2: Like, if you're losing, like after, he shouldn't bring it 80 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 2: out in the third game. He's done at the first 81 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 2: two games. He shouldn't be able to. 82 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: I don't even know. I'll be honest, I don't even 83 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: know what you're talking about. 84 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it's it's probably algorithm. Well, he's like doing 85 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 2: between the legs, walking up and down the field. Maybe 86 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 2: you throwing out your receivers or something. Guys need to 87 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: be more in tune. But yeah, while losing that, you 88 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 2: can't be doing that. Just feel like the sport. 89 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 1: No I like it. I mean, I mean I like 90 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: your your critique of. 91 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 2: It, but yeah, like you said, ever since he said 92 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: that thing to Caleb Williams, it's just kind of been 93 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: on a downward slope. 94 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 1: Contractually obligated to give you guys the numbers on this one, CJ. Stroud. 95 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 1: Let me see if I can get Football Reference to 96 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: cooperate with me. CJ. Stroud through that game with Caleb 97 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: Williams in the regular season in his career eleven and 98 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: six twenty six touchdowns, five picks, a one oh one rating. CJ. 99 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: Stroud since he told Caleb Williams, come here, a young fellow, 100 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: let me teach you a thing or two. Eight and 101 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: nine eighteen touchdowns, thirteen picks and eighty five rating, life 102 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 1: can come out with your fast man and the Texans 103 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: offensive operation just does not look good. The defense is 104 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: still awesome, but what the Texans have going for them, 105 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: obviously is the division. They're in and if you don't 106 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: believe in the Colts, that division's gonna feel winnable. But 107 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: they they're at Jacksonville this weekend, big game. That's that's 108 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: for both teams. Big game, big game. Then they get 109 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 1: a little respit against the Titans. Then it's at the 110 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: Ravens at Seattle. It's tough man and so yeah, I'd 111 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: be I'd be a little more than a little nervous 112 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: if I were the Texans. All right, let's get to 113 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: the other Monday night game. 114 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 2: So the Chargers look good again for the most part 115 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: last night with another divisional win. Do you think this 116 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 2: is the cream of the crop in that division? 117 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: Listen, I think the Chiefs will end up winning the division, 118 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 1: but I have to give the Chargers have looked really good. Now. 119 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: I thought the Chargers at the end of the game, 120 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: as I said earlier, made some really really poor game 121 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: management decisions, and I don't understand like the Chargers. It's fine, 122 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 1: I guess, but it is odd to me that both 123 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 1: the Chargers and Otter for the Raiders spent such premium 124 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: draft picks on running backs and don't want to give 125 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:01,200 Speaker 1: them the ball like the Raiders refuse usual to get 126 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: Ashton Genty involved, and it's like, because he's not good 127 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 1: in pass protection, we'll just have I understand, you don't 128 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: want to tip your hand on Oh we're running this 129 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: guy's you know on the field, But you can't spend 130 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: the sixth pick of the draft on a guy he was, 131 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: you know, and give him eleven carries in a game 132 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: where Gino's having the worst game of his career. Just 133 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: can't do it. And the Chargers defense looks awesome and 134 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: Herbert's been really good. My only Charger concern is I 135 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: think Herbert's running it too much, and that is concerning 136 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,080 Speaker 1: the other piece of that game is and do we 137 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: have any reporting on what Khalil Mack's injury was. I 138 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: know that he was in a sling and he was 139 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: holding his arm and so that didn't look good. That 140 00:09:55,400 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: could be really damaging as well the Raiders. The It 141 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: would have been amazing if the Raiders could have started 142 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: three and oh, all right, I'm sorry, two and oh 143 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 1: they they'll they'll take one in one, especially because Demon's 144 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: Raiders next four at the Commanders in a game Jayden 145 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: might not play, then Home Bears at calls Home Titans. 146 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: Raiders really need to make Hey this next month and 147 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: Geno will bounce back. That was a really rough Geno game, 148 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,320 Speaker 1: and we talked a little bit about the Chargers earlier. 149 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: Today's show is brought to you by our new presenting sponsor, 150 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: hard rock Bet.

I am not going to sit here and 185 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: act like everything's fine with the Chiefs right now. It is. 186 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: There are some I want to focus on the concern 187 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: things that have occurred in both games. Okay, So for instance, 188 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: Week one, the secondary, which has been a strength of 189 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: this team, looked hugely problematic against Herbert and the Chargers. 190 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: Week two, I thought the secondary looked really good. Right, 191 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: So like that's the one good game, one bad game. 192 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: I'm not focusing on that. Here is what through two 193 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 1: weeks looks problematic, and I don't know where the solve 194 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: for it is. The Chiefs running game is as inept 195 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: right now as it's ever been since Patrick's been there. 196 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 1: Pachecko sadly just does not look like the same player 197 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: he was before he broke his leg. And what's odd 198 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: about it is his biggest problem through two weeks doesn't 199 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: seem to be explosion. It seems to be vision and 200 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,599 Speaker 1: hitting the right hole. You wouldn't think that is related 201 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:11,079 Speaker 1: to a lower body injury, but he just hasn't been effective. 202 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt is who he is. If you need one 203 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: yard more way, more often than not, he will get 204 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: it for you, but he has no chance of getting 205 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: you ten. And they brought in Elijah Mitchell. Nothing's happened there. 206 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 1: They drafted Brischard Smith in the I think seventh round. 207 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: He's seventh round rookie. Like they just right now don't 208 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: have the horses in the running back room, and that 209 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: is a spot that I would not at all hate 210 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: for them to be active on in the trade market. 211 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: I think we have. There has been a lot of 212 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: discussion of should the Chiefs trade for Tyreek Hill? The 213 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: wide receivers are coming back, Okay, I if I were 214 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: doing a trade with Miami, I might be equally, if 215 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: not more, interested in Devin h Chan Like I think 216 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: that there are you running backs will be and should 217 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: be available, and that might be a spot that they 218 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: have to bite the bullet and spend some draft capital 219 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: via trade on. So that's one piece and here's another one. 220 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: As good as Josh Simmons has been at the left 221 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: tackle spot, Patrick still doesn't feel totally comfortable in his protection. Now, 222 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: some of that's been the left guard spot's been really problematic. 223 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: But Creed's great, Tray's great, Simmons is really good. Joan 224 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: Taylor when he's not committing penalties is fine, and Patrick 225 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: just seems like he doesn't trust it right now. And 226 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 1: I am as he's confident in Patrick Mahomes as any 227 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: player that's ever played in the league, that he will 228 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 1: figure stuff out. And there have been times this season 229 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 1: where it has felt like he's out there. I don't 230 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: want to say by himself, but nobody can get open. 231 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 1: They can't run the ball, which has forced him to 232 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: and this is the part of the season that I 233 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: have liked the absolute least. It has forced him to 234 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 1: activate playoff running Mahomes in weeks one and two, and 235 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: I despise that because obviously it puts him in jeopardy, 236 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: which is the biggest concern. But the other thing is 237 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: one of the reasons he has had the postseason success 238 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: that he's had. One of the reasons he has been 239 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 1: so much more dynamic and effective statistically and from a 240 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,640 Speaker 1: winning perspective on a per game basis than any other 241 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: quarterback in the history of the league come the postseason 242 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: is because every single postseason he adds a huge weapon 243 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: to his game that is not there in the regular season, 244 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: which is the quarterback runs the scrambles, and if he's 245 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: using that during the regular season. It has just multiple concerns. 246 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 1: One is he can get banged up. Another is you're 247 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: not getting that auto postseason boost. Like Josh Allen and 248 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 1: Lamar are unbelievable runners at the quarterback position. They do 249 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: it starting in Week one and never stop. So it 250 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: doesn't add an element to their game come the playoffs. 251 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: It has for Patrick and the last listen issue on 252 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: offense is the greatest tight end in the history of 253 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,800 Speaker 1: the league has had a really rough two weeks. There's 254 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 1: no way around it. Third play of the season. I 255 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,440 Speaker 1: thought it was Xavier's mistake. He says it was his 256 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: mistake that he ran the wrong depth of his route 257 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: and Xavier's hurt. Later in that game, he and Patrick 258 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 1: aren't on quite the same page. When they're down nine 259 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 1: about to score, they don't connect on what would have 260 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: been a touchdown. And then obviously the Eagles game, they're 261 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 1: about to take the lead and he bobbles a pass 262 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: and it turns into a game changing interception. That's all. 263 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: It's been highly damaging. I don't know if it's yet 264 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:41,159 Speaker 1: highly concerning, but it's highly damaging. Okay, So there is 265 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: that piece of it on the defensive side of the ball. 266 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: The only complaint I have after week two is they 267 00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: cannot seem to get pressure without sending a blitz, like 268 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 1: if they rush for they just can't and not get home. 269 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: So I don't know if that means the rookies Ashton 270 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: Jalot or Omar Norman Lot need to be more effective. 271 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,600 Speaker 1: Certainly Charles Amena who needs to be more effective. Mike 272 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: Dana got hurt in this game. That didn't help. George 273 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: Garloft has just got paid by this team, he needs 274 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: to be more effective. Like Chris Jones is a man 275 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 1: on an island at times. And so those are real problems, okay, 276 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: And right now the Chiefs don't deserve to be anything 277 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: close to Super Bowl favorites. I'm not gonna sit here 278 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,359 Speaker 1: and act like, ah, they got unlucky, they got this. No. 279 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: If anything, it is surprising that they have had a 280 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: chance to win both of these games when they haven't 281 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:59,800 Speaker 1: played well. They've missed kicks in both games, they have 282 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: haven't forced a turnover. So that is the true and fair, 283 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: sober analysis of where the Chiefs are through two weeks. 284 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: Anything past that is nonsense. Anyone trying to pedal Wow, 285 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 1: should they be worried about making the playoffs. I think 286 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: has lost their mind. Now is the division for the 287 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: first time in jeopardy. Yeah, when you're zero to two 288 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: and a team that beat you is two to zero 289 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: with a divisional win, it's understandable that the Chiefs are 290 00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: no longer the favorites in the division Demons And where 291 00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: where does hard Rock Bet have them at right now? 292 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 2: They've got them at plus two forty to win the division? 293 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 2: Should you hammer that? 294 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, as it's not surprising to you. Probably 295 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 1: I have a lot of exposure already on the Chiefs, 296 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,879 Speaker 1: you know, futures and season and win total. But I 297 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: think plus two point forty is good value right now 298 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,479 Speaker 1: when I do right now, if I had to pick it, 299 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 1: I would still pick the Chiefs to win the division. 300 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: And part of that is some concerning stuff I saw 301 00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: no from no from the Chargers the Houston doesn't apply 302 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: here from the Chargers last night late in that game, 303 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 1: and we'll get into that when we talk about the Chargers. 304 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: I thought the Chargers almost went out of their way 305 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: to try to keep the Raiders in that game. And 306 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,280 Speaker 1: it's what's true for Patrick is true for all these quarterbacks. 307 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: Any quarterback that's running a ton early in the year, 308 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: I get worried about. And Justin Herbert's running a lot, 309 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: and you know that I think that, And he took 310 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: a wicked shot yesterday, and then they also had him 311 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: late in the game when the game was decided to 312 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 1: another quarterback run that I totally didn't understand. And so 313 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:26,119 Speaker 1: I still believe the Chiefs are the best team in 314 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,359 Speaker 1: the AFC West. You can't right now say they're better 315 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: than Buffalo or Baltimore. You can say, however, right now, 316 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: in a span of two quick weeks, after for the 317 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: last few years the AFC clearly being the better of 318 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: the two conferences, the NFC right now seems far superior 319 00:22:53,000 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 1: and far deeper. Like demon's who in the AFC East Buffalo, Miami, 320 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:05,640 Speaker 1: New England, the Jets. There's one team you believe in 321 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 1: in Buffalo, the AFC North, Baltimore, since Pittsburgh, Cleveland, there's 322 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: one team you believe in the AFC South. Right now, 323 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 1: there might be zero teams you believe in unless you 324 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 1: or the generic you to the audience really does believe 325 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: what the culture doing is sustainable. I don't know that 326 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: I believe it the AFC West, on the other hand, 327 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: might have a bunch of you know, the Chargers, the Broncos, 328 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: the Chiefs, the Raiders. Still like it is, It's remarkable 329 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: to me how open the middle part of the conferences. 330 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 1: And so I think it's fair to say the Chiefs 331 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: have basically not punted but given up the opportunity to 332 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: be the one seed. You know, I think that's fair. 333 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 1: I think there's you know, there are real things they 334 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: need to clean up. I also feel this way, they 335 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: are potentially twelve days away from everyone saying how silly 336 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: we should feel for writing off the Chiefs because you 337 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: beat the Giants this weekend. You didn't have a game 338 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: against Baltimore that if you win, you're right back to 339 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 1: being the Chiefs and all this stuff about oh the 340 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 1: mystique is gone or this or that that's gone like 341 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: that and that conversation is gone and so big but 342 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 1: big next few weeks and big stretch of time before 343 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: Rashi comes back. Xavier might be back this weekend, he'll 344 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: definitely be back for the Raven game. And listen, they 345 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 1: need to have a receiver that can beat man to 346 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: man coverage and the idea that like mahomes is being 347 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: exposed without a dynamic receiver is belied by the fact 348 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 1: that he won League MVP with a receiving corps led 349 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: by juju An MVS, and the next year won Super 350 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: Bowl MVP with an even worse receiving corps. And last 351 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: year they went fifteen to two and made the Super 352 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: Bowl with Rashim missing basically the whole year. So I 353 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: think that's too reactionary, but somebody's got to get open 354 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 1: at some point.

A big game for your boys 369 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 2: over there in narrow Head. Yeah, so they got the 370 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 2: Giants this Sunday. They are zero and two. For the 371 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:43,359 Speaker 2: first time in the Mahomes era they faced the Giants. Obviously, 372 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 2: they are one and eleven in the last twelve at MetLife. 373 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 2: What is at stake for Kansas City here? 374 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: Well, I if they were to lose Sunday, I are 375 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: They're one to eleven in the last twelve met Life. Yeah, 376 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,119 Speaker 1: I was gonna say it wouldn't that was like that. 377 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 1: That number surprised me. I'm sure it's not that. I 378 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: wonder what their record is the Giants in their last 379 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 1: twelve last games. It can't be really good. It might 380 00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: be four and eight, but one of eleven in the 381 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: last twelve night games. Here's the deal. If I'm being honest, 382 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: I will not if they lose Sunday. I won't feel 383 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: in my bones that they can't rally and make the playoffs. 384 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: And if the Chiefs make the playoffs, I'm sure by 385 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 1: the you know, if they were to fall to zero 386 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 1: and three and then make the playoffs. I'm sure by 387 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 1: the time the playoffs were all around all really like 388 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:48,280 Speaker 1: their chances. But I am now saying sober minded before 389 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 1: the game. If they lose Sunday, it will signal that 390 00:27:54,920 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: this team is not a true contender the way Rechiefs 391 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: team has been since Mahomes got there, not because they 392 00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 1: can't rally from zero to three, but because if you 393 00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:14,399 Speaker 1: can't beat the New York Giants in a game, you've 394 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:19,879 Speaker 1: got to have without and you should have Xavier Worthy 395 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,600 Speaker 1: back for it. I would think, so the only super 396 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: key player you're missing is Rashid Rice, then you're not 397 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: going to be good enough over the course of the 398 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: season to be a real super Bowl contender. So for Giants, 399 00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,560 Speaker 1: by the way, five and twelve at home since twenty 400 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 1: twenty three, So it's about what we would have thought. 401 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: So that's what's on the line. I have joked, not 402 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:56,800 Speaker 1: really joked, that Mahomes has never had to play a 403 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 1: meaningful regular season game, and that is a little hyperbolic, 404 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:08,360 Speaker 1: but in fact, I think what I've said is Mahomes 405 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: has never lost a meaningful regular season game, and that 406 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: to me was literally true until two years ago when 407 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:20,720 Speaker 1: they actually had to go on the road in the playoffs, 408 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: with my argument having been the whole point of the 409 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,280 Speaker 1: regular season is to get the best seat as possible 410 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,040 Speaker 1: and to get home field in the playoffs. And if 411 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: the Chiefs have never gone on the road in the playoffs, 412 00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: then none of the losses have ever hurt them. Two 413 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:35,920 Speaker 1: years ago when they did have to go on the 414 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: road in the playoffs, some of those losses I suppose 415 00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: did hurt them, but none of those games demons felt 416 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 1: like they had the stakes of Sunday Night. You can, 417 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: I think, explain away the first two weeks. Week one, 418 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: whole game plans thrown off off by Worthy getting hurt. 419 00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: They you know, they they don't play well, they can't. 420 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: Herbert's playing out of his mind, you know. And the 421 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: Chargers win a neutral site game. Okay, you know what 422 00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 1: I mean, not what you'd hope for, but okay. Game two, 423 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 1: the Chiefs again can't really get the passing game going 424 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: without their two star receivers or potential star receivers. Despite that, 425 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: and despite missing a kick and despite failing on a 426 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: fourth down early in the third quarter, they're on the 427 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: precipice of taking the lead and having control of the game, 428 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,800 Speaker 1: and Kelsey makes a mistake, you know what I mean, 429 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:45,800 Speaker 1: And you're playing a great team in Philadelphia. Fine, again, 430 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 1: not good and not excuses and not saying the Chiefs 431 00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,080 Speaker 1: deserve to win either game, but neither one of those 432 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 1: in a vacuum. If either one of those games had 433 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: happened in week five or Week eight or week twelve, 434 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,320 Speaker 1: no one be concerned about it. You know what I mean. Okay, 435 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: you lose a one score neutral site game to a 436 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: contender in the Chargers. You lose a three point hard 437 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:13,640 Speaker 1: fought game to the Eagles, so be it. Because they 438 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,240 Speaker 1: happen in weeks one and two, and they're on the 439 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: heels of the Chiefs getting dog walked in the super Bowl. 440 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 1: It feels seismic, but in reality it's understandable. Losing to 441 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:30,520 Speaker 1: the Giants this weekend would not be understandable. It would 442 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 1: mean that they are there are some systemic issues with 443 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: the team for this season that are not fixable to 444 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 1: the tune of going on a Super Bowl run. And 445 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 1: so that's what's on the line for Kansas City in 446 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: this game. I know you have some follow ups here. 447 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, are you still worried at all? About the pass 448 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,400 Speaker 2: rush and Russ comeing off of probably his best game, 449 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 2: or one of his best games in his career. 450 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I don't know how you can. I 451 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 1: don't know how you cannot be worried about the pass rush, 452 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:15,680 Speaker 1: to be totally honest with you, Like Chris Jones tends 453 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:18,240 Speaker 1: to get better as this season goes along. I know 454 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: he's an older player. I still believe he's the best 455 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: de tackle in football. He hasn't been dominant the first 456 00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 1: two weeks, but I believe in Chris Carloftis just got paid. 457 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: Carloftis was a first round pick. Carloftis needs to be better. 458 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 1: And then the other guys Mike Dana who's hurt now, 459 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 1: Charles Amenaho who has been disappointing and been wholly ineffective 460 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: thus far this season, and then you have Ashton Gillette, 461 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: Gelot Jellette, my apologies a rookie, Omar Norman rookie. They've 462 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,880 Speaker 1: gotta be able to create some type of pressure without 463 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:11,600 Speaker 1: sending a blitz. With that said, I Russ having four 464 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,240 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards last week does to me, does 465 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 1: not play into this at all. 466 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:17,320 Speaker 2: Like I. 467 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:24,120 Speaker 1: Last week, Russ was unbelievable. I don't think that was 468 00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: him all of a sudden, turning back the clock permanently. 469 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,800 Speaker 1: I think that was him turning back the clock for 470 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: an evening. Now, let me give you the bright side 471 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: of if they win. Okay, if they win, and I 472 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: believe they will win, I don't necessarily think it'll be pretty. 473 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think it'll be easy. But I am 474 00:33:52,680 --> 00:34:01,480 Speaker 1: arrow deep confident they'll win. They win all of a sudden, 475 00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: they are playing a week four game to totally flip 476 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: every narrative that's existed thus far. Because you know who 477 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: comes to Kansas City in Week four? Your Baltimore Ravens. Yeah, 478 00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:20,799 Speaker 1: and the so the the what are you shaking your 479 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:21,200 Speaker 1: head about? 480 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:22,800 Speaker 2: Tell me, no, boys need to be worried. 481 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 1: Oh the Chiefs need to be worried. Maybe, but but 482 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,360 Speaker 1: just follow me down this path. The point I'm making 483 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: is the Chiefs then will have in front of them 484 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: the ability, if they win Sunday, to say, we win 485 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: this home game against a team we literally always beat, 486 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:50,320 Speaker 1: and they're the AFC contender everyone's worried about. We get 487 00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,320 Speaker 1: the whole Oh, if people freaked out about the Chiefs, 488 00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,919 Speaker 1: they had this brutal opening schedule. You know, they dealt 489 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,400 Speaker 1: with an injury, dealt with a suspension. They're two and 490 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: two anyway, and Baltimore leaves that game at best two 491 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 1: and two, and we'll see what happens in Baltimore Detroit 492 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,760 Speaker 1: on Monday night or I don't know if that's Monday 493 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:13,439 Speaker 1: or Sunday, Sunday night. I know it's a night game. 494 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: Oh no, the Chiefs Sunday night obviously, so it's Monday night, 495 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:21,400 Speaker 1: and maybe Baltimore is the team everyone's freaking out about, right, 496 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: And so certainly if Baltimore loses to Detroit, people will 497 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: be freaking out if they fall to one and three, 498 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:32,439 Speaker 1: so they just have the opportunity to turn the whole thing. 499 00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: It will not feel that way at all if they 500 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: lose to the Giants. If they lose to the Giants, 501 00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: they will just feel like a bad team with a 502 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:50,279 Speaker 1: great quarterback. And I don't believe that's what they are, 503 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 1: but they got to go prove it Sunday night. 504 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 2: So you have seven teams above the Chiefs right now, 505 00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,440 Speaker 2: and the Tears. I know that has to kill you. 506 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 2: Is this the worst that you felt about the Mahomes? 507 00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,000 Speaker 2: The worst that you felt about the Chiefs in the Mahomes. 508 00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 1: Era, No, the worst I felt about them was post 509 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:18,480 Speaker 1: It was the twenty twenty one season. They had just 510 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:25,239 Speaker 1: gotten annihilated by the Box in the Super Bowl, and 511 00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: that next year, not only did they start three and four, 512 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 1: but some ugly moments. Week one, they were playing Cleveland 513 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 1: and escaped with a win. Week two, Baltimore goes for 514 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:49,440 Speaker 1: a fourth down late and beats them. Week three the Chargers, 515 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:54,960 Speaker 1: if I beat them at the buzzer essentially, and then 516 00:36:55,040 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 1: week five they get annihilated by the Bills. And then 517 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 1: week seven they get annihilated twenty seven to three by 518 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:15,560 Speaker 1: the Titans. The Titans, and so that team fell to 519 00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:19,560 Speaker 1: three and four, and you know, at that point, I 520 00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 1: guess you include the Super Bowl, had lost five out 521 00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:27,239 Speaker 1: of eight and it was up until that Super Bowl 522 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:31,279 Speaker 1: against the Bucks, Mahomes had never lost a game by 523 00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 1: more than eight points. And then all of a sudden, 524 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,799 Speaker 1: they get blasted in the Super Bowl. They get beat 525 00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 1: by eighteen by Buffalo, they get beat by twenty four 526 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: by Tennessee, and a span of you know, two months 527 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: or two football months, that was the low point. Now 528 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 1: that team ended up going from three and four to 529 00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:54,239 Speaker 1: twelve and five, and then in the AFC Championship Game, 530 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 1: up twenty one to three at half time before that 531 00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 1: second half meltdown against Cincinnati. And that was the only 532 00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 1: year in this six year stretch they haven't made the 533 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,840 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. But that was the worst I've ever felt 534 00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:11,319 Speaker 1: about them. This this so but this is. 535 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,120 Speaker 2: Second the Giants. Okay, yeah, I was able to say 536 00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:17,600 Speaker 2: with a Giants win on Sunday, it's getting pretty oh no, no, no. 537 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:21,360 Speaker 1: A Giants win puts us in totally new territory.
