Speaker 2: Welcome in. We'll drive you nick great Episode two o four,

10
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 2: our first episode of twenty twenty four, and we have

11
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: a ton to do. We are up, we have finished,

12
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: We have passed through the NFL's penultimate weekend. We are

13
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: going in to the final weekend of the year. We

14
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 2: have a college football championship game. We have resolutions to do,

15
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: so much do Demonte will join us in just a

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: moment before that, though, here will Demonsee join us right now?

17
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,919
Speaker 2: But before we hear from him, here is what missed

18
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: the cut on today's show. Not on today's show. The

19
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: Piston snapping their twenty eight game losing streak, Mike Tomlin

20
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: above five hundred for the seventeenth straight year, and Michigan

21
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: and Washington headed to the College Football Playoff Final. The

22
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: reason we're not going to spend a lot of time

23
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: on that is because we haven't spent hardly any time

24
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 2: on college football on this show, so I don't want

25
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 2: to parachute in right before the national championship game. I

26
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: thought the Michigan Alabama game last night was thrilling theater.

27
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 2: I thought Washington was going to lose last night in

28
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: the most excruciating fashion possible if you didn't stay up

29
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: late to watch that game. Just quickly on it. Washington

30
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: is up six. They have handled the entire second half

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 2: thanks some Texas fumbles. Washington is up six with fifty

32
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: five or fifty eight seconds to go on a third down.

33
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: Texas is out of timeouts, so they're gonna run the ball,

34
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: take the clock down punt with about twenty seconds remaining,

35
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: and then Texas gonna go have to go the length

36
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: of the field in fifteen seconds. The Washington running back

37
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: gets injured on the play. No mistake, no penalty, no fumble,

38
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: but gets injured so there's an automatic timeout, which then

39
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: gives Texas an extra forty seconds, which they make the

40
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: most of and get it in the red zone with

41
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 2: a few shots at the end zone, including a pass

42
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: to the end zone with one second on the clock

43
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: that gets broken up. But the right team won that game.

44
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: The right teams are in the National Championship game Washington,

45
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 2: which has been the story of the college football season,

46
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 2: and Michigan Start to Finish, which has been the best

47
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: team of the college football season. We will see that

48
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: in a week. For more coverage on that game, watch

49
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 2: or listen to any of the shows that have been

50
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 2: talking college football year. We're gonna stick with the NFL demons.

51
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: What are we starting with.

52
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 3: We're started with my Ravens man up the one seed

53
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 3: with a dominant win over the Miami Dolphins, and Lamar

54
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 3: is now a heavy favorite to win MVP. So you're

55
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: saying at this point, if the Ravens don't win a

56
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: Super Bowl that Lamar is just the NFL's version of

57
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: James Harden.

58
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: Okay, well, that's not quite what I've said. That's not

59
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: quite what I've said, But go ahead and finish the question,

60
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: and then I will explain exactly what I've said.

61
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 3: I was gonna ask you if you're willing to bet

62
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 3: on that. But the follow up is, uh, if he

63
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 3: does end up making a deep playoff push and wins

64
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl, will he just become the NFL's version

65
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 3: of the Jokich where the best guess not continuous MVPs

66
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: but you know.

67
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: The no, no no, But still, okay, I want to

68
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: make this very clear. I am not saying that if

69
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: the Ravens, any result other than winning the Super Bowl

70
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: is gonna mar Lamar Jackson season. I am saying one

71
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: very specific result Wilmar the season, and that's one and

72
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 2: done in the playoffs and another bad playoff game by Lamar.

73
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: That is the scenario that I think the Hardened comp's

74
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 2: fair like. We don't like the Harden Lamar comp because

75
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 2: one guy is wildly respected, the other guy is considered

76
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 2: a quitter and a clown. One guy has near universal

77
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 2: approval rating, the other guy has essentially no fans left,

78
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 2: one guy seems to uh in James's case, have the

79
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,559
Speaker 2: big moments freak him out, and Lamar just hasn't played well.

80
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 2: So I'm not saying I am not comparing them as

81
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 2: athletes or people. What I am saying is if Lamar

82
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: gets a second MVP and then for the second time

83
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: in a year he wins MVP, his team is the

84
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: one seed, and in that playoff game they lose their

85
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 2: first playoff game and he plays poorly. The Lamar Jackson

86
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 2: regular season phenom playoff flaker, which is what James Harden is,

87
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: those comps will be there, so I don't think like there.

88
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 2: Let's look at every other Raven scenario. They win their

89
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: first playoff game, Lamar plays well, and then in the

90
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 2: AFC title game they lose to the Chiefs and mahomes

91
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: no One's killing Lamar. Or if they make the Super

92
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 2: Bowl and lose, no One's Killing Lamar, they you winstemanse,

93
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: they might feel like a bit of a missed opportunity.

94
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: But I even though the Chiefs and.

95
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 3: The super Bowl is fine, But I think to the Chiefs,

96
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to down talk, I do think that

97
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 3: would be a disappointment given how the season is gone

98
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 3: the Chiefs.

99
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 2: But you've got it. But you have to recognize in

100
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: that world, the Chiefs aren't the team that people are

101
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 2: looking at them as right now. They will been a

102
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: team that just won three straight playoff games and made

103
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 2: another super Bowl, their fourth and five years. In that scenario,

104
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 2: no one's looking at the Chiefs like, ah, this crummy

105
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: Chiefs team. They're like, oh my god. If the Ravens

106
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: lose the Chiefs in the AFC title game, it's not

107
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: gonna be about oh my god, gag job. It's going

108
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 2: to be about the bleeping Chiefs. Man. Even this year.

109
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: You couldn't kill them. You follow me there, And I

110
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 2: know people are like and so the and if they

111
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: if the Ravens make the super Bowl and they lose,

112
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 2: nobody killed Joe Burrow for that they anointed rightfully. So

113
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow for that exact scenario, making the super Bowl

114
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: and losing. But if Lamar plays poorly and the Ravens

115
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: are in a weird spot, like, let me ask you this, Demanse,

116
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 2: would you play Lamar in Week eighteen against Pittsburgh they

117
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: have the number one seed locked up? Yeah?

118
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: I was thinking about this. There's no there's no cons

119
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: to losing, right like, if we lose everything secure, everything

120
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 3: is locked up.

121
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 2: Yet now here the one seed no matter what.

122
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 3: No, I don't think there's any I don't think a

123
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 3: couple of guys should play to be honest, But yeah,

124
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:31,679
Speaker 3: definitely hut Lamar.

125
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: So I think that's correct, and I think that's what

126
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: they'll do all But the here is the potential con

127
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: you are rolling. You just came off probably your two

128
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 2: best most dominant games, not just of the season, maybe

129
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: of Lamar's career, the Niners win in San Francisco and

130
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 2: then the ovisceration more touchdown passes than incompletions. By the way,

131
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: that's the third time in Lamar's career he has had

132
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 2: a perfect passer rating and more touchdown passes than incomplete passes.

133
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 2: Really unbelievable. When he's rolling his A plus, he is

134
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: the only guy who's on eye level with Mahomes of

135
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: will you get their one hundred out of one hundred game.

136
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: Lamar is the only quarterback I think in the league

137
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: that if Mahomes plays his APEX game might not beat them.

138
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: Like people tried to say that was Josh Allen, but

139
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 2: we saw Josh Allen play's APEX game against Mahomes in

140
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: that playoff game, Mahomes won. Lamar's APEX game is just

141
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 2: so when he's hitting from a passing perspective and still

142
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: has exactly. So the sorry I interrupted myself. Oh, I

143
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: was saying about how they're rolling. So he is the

144
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: Niners game in this perfect game against Miami. You now

145
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 2: are in a situation where that game against Miami was

146
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: December thirty first, and his next game he plays in

147
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: would be January twentieth or twenty first.

148
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: So you're saying to the legs fresh and just like

149
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 3: repetition fland it.

150
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 2: No, I'm saying I would sit it. I'm agreeing with you,

151
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 2: but I am saying it is not without some nervousness

152
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: of it's not just one week off because you have

153
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: the actual buye. It's two weeks off. Like if you

154
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 2: had locked up the two seed and you have to

155
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: play wild card weekend, it's a no brainer to rest guys.

156
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 2: The Chiefs have locked up the three seed, and I

157
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 2: want them to sit everyone that matters, throw that game away.

158
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: They can't be anything but the three. Give yourself a

159
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 2: week off. The two weeks off thing gets a little tricky.

160
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: And by the way, the Niners are in the same

161
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 2: spot where they have the bye locked up. Are they

162
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: gonna play their guys in round you know, in week eighteen?

163
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 2: So that now to the flip side of this conversation,

164
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: if the Ravens go on and win the Super Bowl,

165
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 2: does Lamar get to be called the best player in

166
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 2: the league. It would be fair now, I and I

167
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: think some others will still say if Patrick mahomes in

168
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 2: his prime, he is perpetually the best player in the league.

169
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 2: But similar to when Lebron was in his prime. But

170
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: Steph won an MVP and a championship, some people the

171
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 2: next year said he's the best player. And it even

172
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: if you disagree with it, it's not an outrageous take.

173
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 2: It is not at all outrageous. If you come out

174
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: of this year, if Lamar wins everything and it's not

175
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: like he came out of nowhere, He's won an MVP four,

176
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: and then say he's the guy. But that's why there's

177
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,719
Speaker 2: so much go ahead.

178
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: This, I mean, if you want to continue on that.

179
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 3: But with all that said, do you think that there's

180
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,640
Speaker 3: any more pressure on anybody than Lamar Jackson in league

181
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 3: to win the Super Bowl this year?

182
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: No? Well, there might be more pressure on the Niners

183
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: to win the Super Bowl because they've been banging on

184
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 2: the door. There's more pressure on Lamar to have a

185
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: great playoff game. Lamar's played in four playoff games. Here

186
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: are his passing numbers. Game one fourteen of twenty nine,

187
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: two touchdowns, one pick a, seventy nine rating. Game two

188
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: thirty one of fifty nine, one touchdown, two picks a

189
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 2: sixty three rating. Game three seventeen of twenty four one

190
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 2: hundred and seventy nine yards, zero touchdowns, one pick a

191
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 2: seventy five rates. They won that one. Game four, that

192
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: was Game three. I might have misspoke. Game four fourteen

193
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 2: of twenty four, zero touchdowns, one pick a sixty one rating.

194
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 2: His team's points in those games seventeen, twelve, twenty and three.

195
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 2: So we are zero for four on quality playoff games.

196
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 2: That's why it is incumbent on him to play well.

197
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 2: And I'm not trying to like I'm there's no extra

198
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 2: pres it's just the reality of it. Now.

199
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 3: People bring up there before you gotta get there, say maybe,

200
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 3: what do you mean. I was just saying, no pressure.

201
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 3: They haven't been to the Super Bowl before with Lamar Jackson.

202
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, but they've obviously been to the playoffs three times, right,

203
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 2: I'm talking about I'm just talking about that first playoff game.

204
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: If Lamar plays great, coming off the bye and he

205
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 2: makes his first conference championship game. He's almost free rolling.

206
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 2: Just a little context real quick, because people bring up

207
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: Peyton Manning because he struggled throughout his playoff career. And

208
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 2: Peyton's first three playoff games zero touchdown, zero picks a

209
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 2: sixty two rating, one touchdown zero picks an eighty two rating,

210
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 2: zero touchdowns two picks a thirty one rating. Those are

211
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,040
Speaker 2: his first three playoff games, all three losses. The problem, though,

212
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: is Peyton's fourth playoff game five touchdowns, zero picks, a

213
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 2: perfect rating, his fifth playoff game three touchdowns, zero picks,

214
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: a one to thirty nine rating, and then the sixth

215
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 2: was against the Patriots. He played poorly again and when

216
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: they won the Super Bowl. He actually wasn't great in

217
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 2: any of those playoff games when he won his first

218
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 2: Super Bowl. The point is, yes, Peyton struggled early, but

219
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: he also his fourth and fifth career playoff games was

220
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 2: objectively awesome, and then struggled again later. Lamar's yet to

221
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 2: have one of those. All right, next, all.

222
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 3: Right, this time last year, the Chiefs and the Eagles

223
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 3: of the one one seed. Now Philly is doing pretty bad,

224
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: losing four of their last five games, including last week

225
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 3: to the Cardinals. Last time Kansas City beat a starting

226
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 3: quarterback was two in the Dolphins in November. What do

227
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 3: you think is better positioned to overcome their slump and

228
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: make it to the super and make a Super Bowl push.

229
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: Well, listen, everybody knows what I'm gonna say Kansas City here,

230
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 2: but I don't even want to spend time on the

231
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,760
Speaker 2: Chiefs right now. The people know where I stand on that.

232
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: We'll see if I end up being right. The Eagles

233
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: are cooked, They're finished, and they're absolutely finished. They they

234
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: have a bottom five defense in the NFL. The way

235
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 2: people I will say this about the Chiefs, the Chiefs

236
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 2: right now have the number seven offense in the league

237
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 2: and from a yards perspective and number twelve in a

238
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 2: points perspective. And the way people talk about the Chiefs

239
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 2: offen as if it's just awful and irredeemable, is the

240
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: way the Eagles defense actually is. The Chiefs have a

241
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: good but not great offense that we're used to being

242
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: the best, and so it's jarring the Eagles defense. Just

243
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: let Kyler cook him up doing whatever he wanted. Let

244
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 2: Drew Lock beat him. Purty played a perfect game, Dak

245
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: played a perfect game. They almost lost to Dyrod Taylor. Like,

246
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: I this idea that the Eagles because they had giants, Cardinals,

247
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 2: giants to finish the year, and everybody was like, oh, okay,

248
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 2: no matter how bad they are, they'll be three, and

249
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 2: oh they're going to be the two seeds. And I

250
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: kept saying, they can lose to anyone. When your defense

251
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: is that bad, you can lose to anyone. And then

252
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 2: you add to it that offense ain't that great right now.

253
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: And the short term concern is the defense is cooked.

254
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 2: The medium term concern is your coach might just be

255
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: a bit of a front runner and not really know

256
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: how to deal with adversity. When things are going good,

257
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: he's mother f and chiefs fans and mean mugging the

258
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: camera and doing all this foolish, childish bullshit. But when

259
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 2: things aren't going well, I mean, I just wouldn't like

260
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 2: it if with this podcast, you and I comported ourselves

261
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 2: like Jalen Hurts and Jason Kelsey, and then Gabe who

262
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: runs Blue Duck, the company that produces it, was out

263
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: here given quotes like to the trade publications like oh,

264
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 2: we got the best podcast team in the world, we

265
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 2: go in your house and beat the sh I just

266
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 2: would be like, Gabe, this isn't who we're trying to be.

267
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: And Jalen Hurts and Jason Kelcey are consummate pros, and

268
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: Sirianni is he's got his you know, his body gout

269
00:16:59,080 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: her on the sideline.

270
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 3: Got to cut it out with the inspirational quotes, but

271
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 3: go ahead.

272
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 2: Okay, well but he is that well, so let me

273
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: finish what I was saying. Though, short term concern defense

274
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 2: is terrible, medium term concern? Can your coach lead from

275
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: behind long term concern? And this is the one you

276
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 2: just got to kind of whisper did they pay the

277
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 2: aberration year? In regards to Jalen Hurts, Jalen Hurts in

278
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 2: his college career did not look like an NFL franchise quarterback.

279
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts his first two years in the NFL did

280
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 2: not look like an NFL franchise quarterback. Jalen Hurts this

281
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: year has not looked like an NFL franchise quarterback. And

282
00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 2: I guess I shouldn't say look because what what's the.

283
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 3: At recency bias? The old recentcy bias poking out on

284
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 3: the west right podcast.

285
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 2: How so, how is it recent.

286
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 3: Just the last I guess it's if you want to

287
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 3: say it's the last few games last season. I think

288
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 3: we need more. Let's let's see what he does in

289
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,959
Speaker 3: the playoffs before we start calling him.

290
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: Well, you're not gonna have a lot of time because

291
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 2: they're not gonna last thanks to the defense.

292
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: And he started off the season a little banged up,

293
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 3: didn't he like he's going well?

294
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 2: So okay, so listen, this is why he said you

295
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: have to whisper it. Let me just let me finish

296
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: my point. John Hurt's post high school has had one

297
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,959
Speaker 2: year that he looked like he was either going to

298
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 2: be or already was a top flight NFL quarterback. It

299
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 2: was last year, and they gave him the contract to

300
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 2: go along with it. Now, I supported that. I thought

301
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: the way he played in the Super Bowl was out

302
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: of this world, the way he conducts himself, how tough

303
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: he is, all of that stuff. But if you're Philly,

304
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 2: there's a little nervousness that lack that it wasn't It's

305
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 2: not recency bias right now, that's happening. Last year was

306
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 2: an outlier season, and who he is is a pretty

307
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: good quarterback pretty good but not great, and they they

308
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: have paid him now like he's great. That is the

309
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 2: long term concern. Now. I don't think injuries are an excuse.

310
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 2: I think injuries are often an explanation. I don't like

311
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 2: when people are like, oh, don't use injuries as an excuse.

312
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 2: It's like, it's not an excuse, it's an explanation. And

313
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: I do think he's hurt, which then brings me back

314
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: to Sirianni, stop having forty percent of your offense be

315
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,719
Speaker 2: your injured franchise quarterback lowering his shoulder or doing the

316
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: tush push. And these people that are like, oh, the

317
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 2: tush push, the way they do it is safe. Okay,

318
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 2: maybe it's safe. But here's what I know. I need

319
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 2: to steal a line from Kevin Wilds demands. If Demanse

320
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: had a banged up knee that he was wearing a

321
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: brace on, and he went to go to his doctor's appointment,

322
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: the doctor's like, well, what have you been doing? It's like, well,

323
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 2: my regular stuff, plus four or five times a week,

324
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: I collect twenty of the biggest strongest people I know,

325
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 2: and I run into the middle of them and have

326
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: them all push me from different directions. I don't think

327
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: the doctor would be like, oh, okay, smart, that's the

328
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:40,360
Speaker 2: quickest way to get healthy. Like keep doing that. That's

329
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 2: a good part of your rehab. And so even if

330
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 2: it's not incredibly dangerous, it isn't the fastest way to

331
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: get a healthy knee. And so I the when a

332
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 2: quarterback is hurt some typically you would like to see

333
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,719
Speaker 2: the team protect him a bit. They don't do that

334
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 2: in Philly, and so I don't know, but I do

335
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: know this Philly is drawing dead to win multiple playoff games.

336
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 2: Maybe they go on the road and beat the NFC

337
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: South winner, maybe, but then after that they will either

338
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 2: be in San Francisco, in Dallas, or in Detroit. Those

339
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: are the only three possible Round two options for a

340
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 2: team that's going to be the five seed, and they

341
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 2: will get cooked. That defense will get cooked on the

342
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 2: road against Jared Goff, Dak Prescott, or Kyle Shanahan's offense.

343
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 2: See what I did there? I did quarterback quarterback Kyle

344
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 2: Shanahan offense. All right? Next, all right?

345
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: The NFL season is wrapping up this Sunday night with

346
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 3: the Bills playing the Dolphins. Buffalo has like some weird

347
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 3: scenario where they could be the two seed or be

348
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: dropped out of the playoffs completely.

349
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 2: So let me explain that scenario real quick. It's very simple.

350
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 2: If the Jags beat the Titans, and if Pittsburgh beats Baltimore,

351
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 2: which sounds really hard, but then you realize bal Lamar

352
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 2: is probably not playing and Baltimore's resting people. So if

353
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 2: the Jags win and the Steelers win, the Bills go

354
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 2: into the final game of the year with two possible

355
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 2: outcomes the two seed or miss the playoffs. That's it,

356
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 2: which is just a perfect micro cosm for the Buffalo Bills.

357
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 2: Either you're in great shape and a huge threat, or

358
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 2: you finish in fifteenth place in the NFL. Go ahead,

359
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:44,760
Speaker 2: sor right.

360
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 3: So the Dolphins are banged up in the Bills. As

361
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 3: you just explained to the Bills, which team do you

362
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:52,439
Speaker 3: think will have a better set of excuses when they

363
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 3: get bounced out of the first round of the playoffs?

364
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 2: Well, I don't think the Bills are making the playoffs, okay,

365
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 2: and the now some of that again. I for that

366
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 2: to be correct, the Jags and Steelers both have to win.

367
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 2: If if it doesn't go that way, then the Bills

368
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: can make the playoffs with a loss. But I think

369
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 2: that is gonna happen. And I don't think the Bills

370
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 2: are gonna beat Miami it as I Sometimes I do

371
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 2: wonder are people watching the games did beat So? Last

372
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 2: week we saw Josh Allen and the Bills play Easton

373
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: stick and Gift Smith and the last second field goal

374
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: to win. This week, we saw the Patriots self immolate

375
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: in the first twenty minutes of this game, four turnovers

376
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 2: inside their own thirty, including a pick six, and despite

377
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 2: that it's a six point game. The entire fourth quarter,

378
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 2: the Bills almost lost to Bailey Zappi with four turnovers.

379
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 2: So the idea that the Bills like people are like, oh,

380
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: the Bills are coming on strong. No, they're not. And

381
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 2: here's the other thing. During this winning streak, it's four games. Demonse,

382
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 2: how many passing touchdowns do you think Josh Allen has

383
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: in these four in this four game winning streak?

384
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 3: Give it a guess, call it six, seven, three?

385
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,919
Speaker 2: How many passing yards do you think he has in

386
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 2: this four games? So obviously three hundred a game would

387
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 2: be twelve hundred, a two fifty game would be a thousand.

388
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 2: How many passing yards do you think he has in

389
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: the four game winning streak?

390
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 3: Call it six seven hundred six seven.

391
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 2: Seven seven thirty three, one hundred and eighty yards a game,

392
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: three touchdowns, three picks. One hundred and eighty yards a

393
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 2: game is seventy five or rating. He's not exactly coming

394
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 2: on strong. Uh and Stefan Diggs has been Mia and

395
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 2: so listen, Miami, they're Super Bowl hopes. Took a kill

396
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: shot this weekend against the Ravens because of the defensive

397
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 2: injuries Xavian Howard and Bradley Chubb being carted off. That's

398
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 2: just worst case scenario.

399
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 3: But I go ahead, Demansey, with everything you just said,

400
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 3: Miami's still a three point home dog after they were

401
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 3: destroyed by the Ravens.

402
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 2: Ye Vegas, Vegas.

403
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 3: You think it's one of the bills.

404
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 2: Public can't quit the Bills. I mean, the Bills were

405
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 2: thirteen point favorites over easton Stick. They won on the

406
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 2: last second field goal. They were fourteen point favorites against

407
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 2: Bailey Zappi. The Patriots had four turnovers instantly and they

408
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 2: won by six. Like the the fading the Bills has

409
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 2: been good business so far this year. All right, let's

410
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 2: move on all right.

411
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,640
Speaker 3: The Bears are locked into the number one pick after

412
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 3: the Panthers picked up their fourteenth loss. Chicago has won

413
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 3: four of their last five, and Justin Fields is definitely

414
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 3: making his case to stay on the team. But obviously,

415
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,479
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams is in the draft, and we know how

416
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 3: you feel about that guy. Does Chicago have a difficult

417
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 3: decision ahead of him?

418
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 2: What would you do?

419
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna man. I would draft twohigh receivers.

420
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but not, but not number one.

421
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 3: You train the two offensive positions, either something on the

422
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 3: old line and with a wire receivers, just something to

423
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 3: cater to Justin Fields, because I do think there's something there.

424
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 3: I think he's got the he's got the bones.

425
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,320
Speaker 2: So listen. There is an argument to be made that

426
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: if you have the number one pick, if you're Chicago,

427
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: you call New England, who's going to have the number

428
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 2: three pick, and you say, we'll trade you the number

429
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 2: one pick for the third pick and a future first

430
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,199
Speaker 2: rounder and something else, and see if they'll do it.

431
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 2: And you draft Marvin Harrison, you get extra draft capital,

432
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 2: you rode with Justin Fields. I don't think you can

433
00:26:58,520 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: do that.

434
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 3: I Caleb got the first and the tenth pick though, right,

435
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 3: like not they've got right yeah.

436
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 2: But my point is if you're not gonna draft Caleb,

437
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 2: you can you can get multiple first round picks for it.

438
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 2: Staying at one and not drafting a quarterback is not

439
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: an option. It's either you draft the quarterback or you

440
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,239
Speaker 2: trade it to a team that will give you the

441
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: type of deal Carolina gave the Bears last year, which

442
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 2: is what they did last year, and you get all

443
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 2: the extra draft capital. Right, so that those are your

444
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 2: two the two doors you can walk through because Justin listen,

445
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 2: he's look good lately, but you're about to have to

446
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 2: pay him. And Caleb, to me is a transcendent guy,

447
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 2: and you can get something for Justin Like, would let's

448
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 2: use New England again. Would New England give you the

449
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 2: thirty fifth pick, the third pick of the second round

450
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 2: for Justin? I think so, and then you can start

451
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 2: on the rookie quarterback contract, clock all of it. If

452
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 2: it wasn't to me such a transcendent prospect in Caleb,

453
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: then I would.

454
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 3: This same team that didn't want Lamar Jackson last year.

455
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 3: You're saying that Justin Field is eventually gonna have to

456
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,120
Speaker 3: be paid. I get Lamar's contracts, probably a little bit higher,

457
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 3: but they seem to be. Well.

458
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 2: Then it planned, well, all those listen, all those teams

459
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: that passed on Lamar, Someone's gonna trade for Justin Fields Atlanta.

460
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 2: Maybe someone's gonna trade for him, and someone's gonna pay him.

461
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 2: The Lamar things almost in its own box. It was

462
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 2: so clear and obvious collusion amongst the owners, and we

463
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 2: just all pretend like it's not. I mean, that's clearly

464
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 2: what it was. But I personally I would draft Caleb

465
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: and I'd feel great about it. And if you're Ryan

466
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 2: Poles in Chicago, can you for two consecutive drafts have

467
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 2: the number one pick and in two consecutive drafts pass

468
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: on taking a quarterback? I don't think you can't. Now

469
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 2: people look at it, they're like, oh wow, well Bryce

470
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 2: wouldn't have worked. Yeah, but CJ would have number one pick.

471
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 2: You can take whoever you want, you know what I mean.

472
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 2: Like they could have stayed there and drafted CJ. Instead,

473
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 2: they traded back and it worked out great. They got

474
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 2: the number one overall pick. Again. I don't think you

475
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 2: can do that again. All right, quick break right back,

476
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 2: what's Right. Welcome back in What Driving Nick Right? Episode

Speaker 2: Let's get back to the show before we do rights resolutions.

507
00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: We got a Russell Wilson topic.

508
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 3: We've got a Russell Wilson's We missed a lot in

509
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 3: the two weeks that we weren't here. Yeah, Russell Wilson

510
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 3: was benched and all signs are pointing towards him being sick.

511
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 2: Category two opinion by me, where's your guys sizzle reel?

512
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 2: Remember how when I get something wrong, you guys put

513
00:31:16,800 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 2: together these fun videos of me being wrong repeatedly, and

514
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 2: it so rarely happens. I don't know how you guys

515
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: have it. Where's all the tape of all the time

516
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 2: you were like, so, are you gonna give Russell Wilson

517
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 2: his flowers? Are you ready to admit he's playing? Well,

518
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 2: here's Russell Wilson's number, here's Malmes's numbers? Oh are you?

519
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 2: Are you scared of the Broncos? Where's all that? I

520
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 2: told you?

521
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 3: Guys?

522
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 2: Watched the games?

523
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 3: Hold on, But isn't Russell Wilson like the one thing

524
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:45,640
Speaker 3: that they kind of had going for him? I don't

525
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 3: think he was playing poorly?

526
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 2: Well, that's interesting because he's not playing for the team anymore.

527
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: That's a really interesting take because they're about to cut

528
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 2: him and they just pinched him. Uh so, you know what,

529
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 2: maybe it was actually that it wasn't as simple as

530
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 2: here's his touchdown inner upter ratio. Guys, I told you

531
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 2: all that Russell Wilson was playing a selfish brand of football,

532
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 2: and people were like, what does that even mean? Nick?

533
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 2: How can you do it? And the point I was

534
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 2: making because I watched the games was Russell Wilson was

535
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 2: protecting his personal numbers to the detriment of the team

536
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 2: and taking sacks he shouldn't take checking the ball down

537
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 2: when he needed to push it down the field. And

538
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 2: it was odd watching him play this way, and then

539
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 2: we find out that right around the time he started

540
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 2: doing it, the team went to him and said, we're

541
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 2: gonna cut your ass this offseason if you don't agree

542
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: to change your contract. And you know what that might

543
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 2: lead someone to do protect their numbers. If all of

544
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 2: a sudden we told demons a buddy, you're fired in

545
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 2: a month off the podcast, you know what demonse might do.

546
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 2: Demonsey might all of a sudden start firing off takes.

547
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 2: He's like, I gotta create a highlight reel of my takes.

548
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: I gotta do something, but I don't care if it's

549
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 2: good for the show or not. I'm gonna tell Nicky's

550
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 2: full ass. I'm gonna do these things because I gotta

551
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 2: worry about number one. That's what was happening. I saw

552
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 2: it because I'm watching the games. But all right, that's

553
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 2: my own little victory lap.

554
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Sean Payton, Wait, do you still are we

555
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 3: going to right resolutions?

556
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 2: Or because no, no, no, keep going.

557
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 3: Okay, who's bright? Whose future is brighter in Denver? Uh?

558
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 3: Russ or Sean Payton?

559
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 2: I mean uh, I mean well, Russ has no future

560
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: in Denver. I don't know if Sean Payton's is that bright,

561
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 2: but it's brighter than Russ's in Denver. The interesting question

562
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,800
Speaker 2: is where's Russ gonna play next year? Where's Russell Wilson

563
00:33:54,800 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 2: gonna play next year? If if Belichick stays, I could

564
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 2: see New England. If Belichick stays, I could see New

565
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 2: England being an interesting fit.

566
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 1: Uh.

567
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: If Belichick they you know, if they draft Marvin Harrison,

568
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 2: that defense kicks ass, I could see that being an

569
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 2: interesting fit. And I could see that semi working other like,

570
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 2: this is a tough one man. What is the team

571
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 2: that is going to want to get in the Russell

572
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 2: Wilson business. Let's just go through them. The Dolphins obviously not,

573
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 2: the Bill's obviously not the Jets. He would make a

574
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,360
Speaker 2: ton of sense to come in and be Aaron Rodgers

575
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 2: quote backup unquote, but there Rodgers would never allow it.

576
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 2: So that's not an honest.

577
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 3: Wesel Wilson would want to go in as a backup.

578
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: Well, here's my let's just let's let's find the team.

579
00:34:56,280 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 2: So the Patriots, the Ravens obviously not, the Browns know

580
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 2: they're tied to Deshaun The Steelers. Steelers, that's a maybe.

581
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,240
Speaker 2: So now we're at too. The Bengals obviously not correct.

582
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 2: The Jags know, the Colts know they drafted their guy.

583
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 2: The Texans know the Titans drafted their guy in Levis.

584
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 2: They at least want to see it. The Chiefs know

585
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 2: the Broncos are getting rid of him. The Raiders maybe,

586
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 2: but I don't. Would you know that's staying in the

587
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 2: AFC West. The Chargers obviously know, So now we have

588
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 2: three maybe's right? No, No, I'm just going team, but

589
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 2: I'm going down the whole list, all right. The Cowboys

590
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 2: obviously know. The Eagles obviously know the Giants. It wouldn't

591
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,440
Speaker 2: be a bad idea, but they owe Daniel Jones money

592
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: next year. They're giving him another chance, so they're no.

593
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:52,799
Speaker 2: The Commanders Demons are going to draft a quarterback. That

594
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 2: seems you know what I mean? That seems incredibly obvious.

595
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 2: So let's assume they're drafting a quarterback, right. The Lions

596
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 2: obviously know, the Packers obviously know the Vikings. It looks

597
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 2: like Cousins is coming back. He's out there beating the

598
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: drum doing scold with the shirt off. He's brother, so

599
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 2: let's assume he's back. The Bears obviously know. Okay, the

600
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 2: Bucks are gonna bring back Baker, the Saints have said

601
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 2: they're gonna bring back car the Falcons maybe now we're

602
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 2: at four maybes. The Panthers are rolling with Bryce, the

603
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 2: Niners have Purty, the Rams have Stafford Seattle as Gino,

604
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 2: and they already did it. Arizona is either drafting a

605
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 2: quarterback or keeping Kyler. Okay, so that's four maybes. But

606
00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 2: here's the problem. Some of those maybies are gonna draft

607
00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 2: a quarterback, right, so we are the the idea that

608
00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson might have to be a backup is not crazy.

609
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 2: There's not gonna like we set a Santa crazy, right,

610
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 2: but we he said Atlanta. Atlanta could draft a quarterback,

611
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 2: could trade for Justin Fields, right, like the there are

612
00:37:12,080 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 2: We're in a weird spot right now. There's not a

613
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 2: lot of Now, what Russell has going for him is

614
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,800
Speaker 2: this because of the way his contract is with Denver

615
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:28,440
Speaker 2: next year and next year only whatever someone pays him

616
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 2: Denver then doesn't have to pay him, So he's essentially

617
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: going to be playing for free. So he'll get the

618
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 2: same amount next year whether he plays or he doesn't.

619
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 2: Now he's going to play, but The reason I bring

620
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 2: that up is he could. It would almost make sense

621
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:52,160
Speaker 2: for him to sign for as little money as possible

622
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 2: because his take home money is the same. So what

623
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 2: I'm describing as an offset. So let's just say Denver,

624
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 2: I've rowed him thirty million bucks next year. If he

625
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 2: signed for five million with a new team, then Denver

626
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 2: only owes him twenty five million. If he signed for

627
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 2: ten million, then Denver only owes him twenty Now I'm

628
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 2: making those numbers up, but it's gonna be the same

629
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 2: amount of money. So the smart thing would be, I'll

630
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 2: play for the league minimum. Yeah, you know what I mean,

631
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 2: keep the cap as low as possible. So he does

632
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,839
Speaker 2: have that going for him. But uh, it is a

633
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 2: unique spot. He's in a very precarious position right now.

634
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 2: And the Broncos got the biggest dead cap hit ever

635
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 2: in NFL history. Was forty point five million. Was Matt Ryan.

636
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 2: Number two was Tom Brady forty point three million. This offseason,

637
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson's is eighty five million dollars. It's gonna be

638
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 2: thirty five million next year and fifty million the following year.

639
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 2: All right, let's do the resolutions.

640
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 3: All right, we are doing rights resolutions. Unfortunately, we couldn't

641
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 3: do this on the New Year exactly. So you're gonna

642
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 3: tell teams are players their resolution for twenty twenty four.

643
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: First off, we got your boys, the Chiefs. If Kansas

644
00:39:07,640 --> 00:39:09,840
Speaker 3: City wins the Super Bowl, they aren't set up for

645
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 3: long term success with how they are currently constructed. If

646
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,440
Speaker 3: you truly believe they are a dynasty, then what is

647
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 3: their next move to extend it? The Chiefs resolution should

648
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 3: be to not.

649
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 2: Have dumb Chiefs questions asked on this show. Okay, if

650
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,359
Speaker 2: the preface of this question is if they win the

651
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 2: super Bowl, they're not set up for long term success.

652
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 2: If they win the Super Bowl, guys, then they are

653
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 2: more better set up for long term success than any

654
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 2: team maybe ever. If they win the Super Bowl when

655
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 2: everything is broken on offense, and they win it anyway

656
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 2: because they have invested in their young defense, which is

657
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 2: the number two defense in football at betting on that

658
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 2: their quarterback can make it all work, and they have

659
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 2: the quarterback under contract and one of the best rookie

660
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 2: witers in football, then I think they're gonna be just fine.

661
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 2: The question should have been if the Chiefs go out

662
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 2: in Round one, how do they reboot things. But you guys,

663
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 2: you guys, you guys fumbled the ball on that one,

664
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 2: and I saw it in the rundown. I was like,

665
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,400
Speaker 2: you know what, I'm gonna let these guys have been

666
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,880
Speaker 2: controlling me on the Chiefs all year long. It's not

667
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 2: even in the show. They've won eight straight divisional titles.

668
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: How about that? Seems like noteworthy, seems pretty impressive. Inn

669
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 2: FC said, a different division winner for twenty straight years

670
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 2: years in a row. Well maybe maybe, yes? Maybe? No?

671
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 2: What what if?

672
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:44,080
Speaker 3: What if? What you're about to get you a little

673
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 3: map out with the strings?

674
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm just gonna listen. I understand, I apologize.

675
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,719
Speaker 2: I understand that back in twenty nineteen, that was so

676
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 2: long ago, you weren't yet watching football regularly. But in

677
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, demase, the numbernumber one seed was the Baltimore Ravens.

678
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: And where was the AFC title game held Arrowhead Stadium?

679
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 2: Because the Ravens went out in round one. So the

680
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 2: idea that Kansas City can't it can't still be hosting

681
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 2: the arrow At Invitational, Let's just wait and see. Let's

682
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 2: just wait and see how it all plays out. Because

683
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,680
Speaker 2: there is a scenario, And the scenario is quite simple

684
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:28,640
Speaker 2: where the Chiefs do have to go on the road

685
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:34,360
Speaker 2: these playoffs, but it's not for the AFC Championship. The

686
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:40,839
Speaker 2: scenario is this the in round one, the Dolphins win

687
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 2: and beat whoever is the seventh seed, the Chiefs win

688
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:49,800
Speaker 2: beating the sixth seed, and the Browns and Flacco beat

689
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 2: the AFC South winner, and that would then mean round

690
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: two is Chiefs. You know, these aren't Demond say, I'm

691
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 2: just saying the favorites win. These are not. Those will

692
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 2: be the two seed and the three seed are the favorites,

693
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 2: and the Browns would be the favorites in the wild

694
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 2: card round. It's really one thing that need to happen.

695
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 2: But then and then round two, the divisional round, would

696
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 2: be the Chiefs going to Miami, so they would have

697
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 2: to go on the road, and the Browns going to

698
00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 2: Baltimore with Baltimore's old quarterback. The Brown's one of the

699
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 2: only teams to beat the Ravens this year. The brown

700
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 2: could win.

701
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 3: That Brown situation, yeah, make you a little nervous.

702
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:39,520
Speaker 2: And if that happens, then the Arrowhead Invitational would be

703
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 2: back on for the record, all right, or the other

704
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 2: scenario is this that I am wrong about the Bills,

705
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 2: that the Bills lose this weekend. But what the Steelers

706
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,680
Speaker 2: scenario or the jag scenario doesn't fall in and the

707
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 2: Bills get in as the seventh seed, and then the

708
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 2: Bills are just red hot and beat the two seed

709
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 2: in round one and Baltimore in round two. In that scenario,

710
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 2: the Chiefs never have to go on the road. They

711
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 2: just host the winner of Cleveland AFC South and then

712
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:16,439
Speaker 2: they host Buffalo in the AFC title game.

713
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,839
Speaker 3: All right, doctor strange? What happens if they don't win

714
00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl? All right? All right? The refs, the

715
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 3: refs is the next one. Hasn't been a good year

716
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 3: for refs. At the end of the Cowboys Lions game,

717
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 3: the black and White guys messed up and gave the

718
00:43:33,520 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 3: Cowboys a win. On Lebron's thirty ninth birthday, the refs

719
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 3: gifted him a bad call, saying his foot was on

720
00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 3: the line on a game tying three. The way that

721
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:44,919
Speaker 3: Lebron was pointing at the monitor, he would have thought

722
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 3: that his foot was a couple of inches off of

723
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 3: the line. But hey, or like maybe a cinema or

724
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 3: maybe a half inch or something. But to the naked eye.

725
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 2: Man that there was no naked eye. Though it's a

726
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 2: it's a video replay, it doesn't need to be the

727
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:03,240
Speaker 2: naked eye.

728
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 3: You look at the naked eye on the camera, whatever

729
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 3: you want to call it. I saw the picture. I saw.

730
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 3: I've seen many angles of the picture. It it looks

731
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 3: it's it's it's not an egregious call by the reps,

732
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 3: is what I'm saying. Like Lebron made it seem like

733
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 3: it was so obvious, but he's a crybaby. But let

734
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 3: you go.

735
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 2: Okay, you do know that with that scenario I laid

736
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 2: out where I was like, you're fired in a month,

737
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 2: and so then you need to, like, you know, get

738
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 2: your own little hot take reel together. That was a

739
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 2: fake scenario. We can make it a real one, but

740
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:39,400
Speaker 2: it was a fake scenario. But go ahead, what's the

741
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 2: question here?

742
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:45,480
Speaker 3: Uh? The ref the rep's resolution should be.

743
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean, just be better. The This is the

744
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:57,600
Speaker 2: point the Cowboys Lions thing and everyone killed me. This

745
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,399
Speaker 2: was the point I was making when the refs called

746
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:03,440
Speaker 2: that that Tiki tak off sides on Kadarius Tony in

747
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 2: the Bills Chiefs game. That was trying to make when

748
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 2: I said they haven't been good enough, they haven't earned

749
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 2: the right to make that type of call, And I

750
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 2: was like, what are you talking about? The man the

751
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 2: refs can't even figure out the difference between sixty eight

752
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 2: and seventy. Now, some of that is on Dan Campbell.

753
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 2: Some of listen, you are putting your you know, the

754
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 2: refereeings bad. The idea behind the play is we are

755
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 2: trying to trick people, and they tricked the wrong people. Also,

756
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 2: the referees in that Cowboys Lions game did announce over

757
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 2: the loudspeaker number seventy has reported eligible. The Lions knew

758
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 2: they were trying to have number sixty eight report eligible.

759
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 2: So two things they're One is the Lions either didn't

760
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 2: notice that the refs had gotten it wrong or didn't

761
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 2: care and thought it would be fine. But the other

762
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 2: one is the Cowboys might have defended it differently because

763
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,400
Speaker 2: they were told seventy can go out for a past,

764
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:06,200
Speaker 2: sixty eight can't. For the refereing has just been bad, all.

765
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 3: Right, Speaking of Dan Campbell, go ahead, Yeah, so that

766
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 3: cow that lines Cowboys game? Uh, Dan Campbell getting tilted

767
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 3: and going for a two point conversion from the seven

768
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:20,640
Speaker 3: yard line. Only down to point there's been some aggressive

769
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,760
Speaker 3: there's a there's a difference between being aggressive and pointless gambling.

770
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 3: Dan Campbell's resolution should.

771
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 2: Be just calm down, buddy, let's take a deep seven.

772
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 2: The two point conversion attempt from the seven yard line

773
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,200
Speaker 2: is legit one of the worst things I've ever seen.

774
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 3: In the It's a Madden play. It is.

775
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 2: It is one hundred percent of Madden play. And it's

776
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 2: a Madden play by a little kid. It's not even

777
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 2: a Madden play by an adult. It's it is a

778
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 2: It is the football version of what you see in

779
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 2: like movies where someone's in court and the judge is

780
00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 2: like contempt of court, thirty days in jail, and they're like,

781
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 2: gimme more. It's like six years, Like I can do

782
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 2: it standing on my head. I'll take ninety. Like he

783
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 2: was so mad at the refts there, He's like, bleep you,

784
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 2: I'll show you, and then Goff throws a pick and

785
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 2: then they get bailed out because there's a penalty on that.

786
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 2: Then you could have taken a deep breath and still

787
00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 2: kicked the extra point from the four. It was legit

788
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 2: one of the worst coaching decisions I've ever seen. So

789
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 2: just take a deep breath. Dan, all right, Uh, let's

790
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 2: skip the NFC South one. Apologies, just we're shut on time.

791
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 2: Let's do the Dave Tapper one.

792
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty three was not the best year for Panthers

793
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 3: owner David Tepper. All right. So first off, he handpicked

794
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 3: the head coach that he fired after eleven games. He

795
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 3: traded a war Chaz for the number one pick, then

796
00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 3: reportedly pushed for drafting Bryce Young over CJ. Stroud and

797
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 3: the cap it off he tossed his drink on a

798
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:06,240
Speaker 3: Jaguars fan from his little suite. David Tepper's resolution should be.

799
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 2: Fallback, buddy, Like the throw in the drink thing is

800
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 2: wild crazy. I mean it's wild, and there aren't many

801
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:26,719
Speaker 2: things in life whereas an adult like let me, let

802
00:48:26,800 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 2: me put it like this, uh, demanse if if you

803
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 2: found out that I got in a fight, me at

804
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 2: my age or the real life that I got in

805
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 2: a fight, I would imagine the vast majority of explanations

806
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 2: that I could give you, You're going to still in

807
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 2: your head be like, shouldn't have done that? There are

808
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 2: a handful though, where you'd be like I get it.

809
00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:02,480
Speaker 2: There's the obvious ones, like something happened to like, you know,

810
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 2: a family member. Uh, if I said I was out

811
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:15,320
Speaker 2: and someone grabbed their drink and threw it in my face,

812
00:49:16,719 --> 00:49:19,960
Speaker 2: so I hit him, would you think that was a

813
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 2: reasonable response by me? Yeah, me too, Me too. I

814
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 2: totally that That's That's the reason I say that David

815
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 2: Tepper did something to me so egregious that if he

816
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 2: had been punched in the face for it, I would

817
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:45,160
Speaker 2: be on the puncher's side. It's not spitting in someone's face,

818
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 2: but it is a first cousin of it. It is,

819
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 2: and you did it from his suite. And it also

820
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,840
Speaker 2: was a cowardly way to do it because the guy

821
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 2: it's not like the guy. He's in a suite and

822
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 2: the guy came even get up there. I can't get

823
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 2: up there. I mean really, it's really just an outrun.

824
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 3: Nobody's on David, nobody's in David Tepper's corner. Do I

825
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 3: hear a little I'm not.

826
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 2: Your public defender. No, No, I'm not. I reject it.

827
00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 2: I'm not defending this clown. I'm just not. I rejected

828
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,880
Speaker 2: your honor. I need to recuse myself from the case.

829
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 2: I rejected. All right, last one?

830
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,520
Speaker 3: All right, twenty twenty three was a great year for

831
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 3: the pod.

832
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:29,439
Speaker 2: You broke one.

833
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 3: Hundred case ups, your chiefs won a Super Bowl, and

834
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 3: we got to keep doing the show with me moving

835
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 3: over here and you being in New York. Yep, what

836
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 3: is twenty twenty four having store for us? Our resolution

837
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 3: should be.

838
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 2: Let's win some bets. I mean maybe next year I

839
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 2: do the teasers and you do the straight picks. I

840
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 2: don't know, man, We're gonna have to get hot in

841
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 2: the playoffs. We gotta get red hot in the playoffs.

842
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 2: We changed the format of the gambling show, and I

843
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 2: gotta be honest, maybe I need to reformat it again

844
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:00,239
Speaker 2: next year.

845
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Uh, I gotta say, Ben, last year's playoffs

846
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 3: is where my teasers got hot.

847
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 2: Uh so you hit like okay? All right? Uh, drop

848
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 2: your chat question, drop your questions in the chat. We'll

849
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 2: do those quick quick break right back.

850
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 1: What's right now?

851
00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 2: All right? Welcome back in What's right? We think right

852
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 2: Episode two oh four, Demonse go to the chat questions

853
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 2: for me.

854
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:31,000
Speaker 3: Christian Lazzo says, let's skip the awful Baker game. How

855
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 3: convenient rolling eye You mode.

856
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 2: That with the NFC South question was not about Baker.

857
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 2: It was about the NFC Celts resolution for next year.

858
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,919
Speaker 2: Christian Lazzo, See what do you want me to say?

859
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,720
Speaker 2: Baker didn't play well in that game? Doesn't matter. Baker's

860
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,720
Speaker 2: out here playing five D chess. You know why, because

861
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 2: win or lose that game, all they gotta do is

862
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 2: beat the Panthers and they win the division. They couldn't

863
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:54,959
Speaker 2: move up to the three line anyway, So why would

864
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 2: they lose to the Saints Because they likely saw the

865
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 2: report before the game. The same are leaning towards bringing

866
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 2: back Dennis Allen and Derek Carr. And what better way

867
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 2: to ensure the Bucks stay atop that division than the

868
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 2: Saints bring back Derek Carr and Dennis Allen. So you

869
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 2: think Baker plays poorly, I see Baker already planning for

870
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 2: twenty twenty four. All right, next.

871
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,840
Speaker 3: Hey, carving it up with Bryce and Carver ass what's

872
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,160
Speaker 3: the greatest category to take of your career?

873
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:29,959
Speaker 2: Well, there's so many good ones. Never believing in the

874
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:33,399
Speaker 2: Clippers the year everyone said they were gonna take over

875
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 2: LA and then they blew a three to one lead.

876
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 2: That was good. Never believing in the Nets every single

877
00:52:39,680 --> 00:52:43,880
Speaker 2: year and then they imploded. That was good, never buying

878
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 2: into Jimmy Garoppolo being anything other than a Kyle Shanahan creation.

879
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 2: And then the moment he gets out of the cocoon

880
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 2: of Shannay and he instantly getspence for Aidan O'Connell. That

881
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 2: was pretty good. I mean, there's a lot of them.

882
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 2: Brock Purty will end up being the best, but we're

883
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 2: gonna have to wait a little bit longer on that.

884
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 3: Next Caleb W has a question what if this is

885
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 3: because we get a lot of questions from this Caleb

886
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,439
Speaker 3: W guy, What if Caleb Williams is watching the What's

887
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 3: Right podcast and it's like, it's not It's.

888
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 2: Not Caleb Williams unfortunately, But I do like Caleb. But

889
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 2: go ahead.

890
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on La versus Detroit being a

891
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 3: potential wildcard matchup? Howard Electric would that game be?

892
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 2: I mean to be unbelievable. I like LA in that

893
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 2: spot and that would be really painful for Detroit their

894
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,280
Speaker 2: first home playoff game in thirty years and Matt Stafford

895
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:35,319
Speaker 2: comes in their building and beats them. I mean, that

896
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 2: would be a hard one to swallow. But I could

897
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 2: absolutely see that being I'll tell you right now who

898
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 2: is not rooting for the Rams to play Detroit and

899
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 2: the Rams to win the Niners. I am telling you

900
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 2: right now that Kyle Shanahan, and I understand shannan has

901
00:53:57,360 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 2: had success against McVeigh. I get that. I'm telling you

902
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 2: right now, they don't want the Rams to be their

903
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:07,640
Speaker 2: first playoff opponent, a divisional opponent who they've played before,

904
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 2: the Rams being red hot, because if the Rams win,

905
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 2: they would almost assuredly be the team that if they

906
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 2: were the sixth seed that goes to San Francisco, unless

907
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 2: the seventh seed were to beat Dallas, which won't happen

908
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 2: all right, next, Scott.

909
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 3: Frazier, do you think, uh, do you think like I do,

910
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 3: that Cleveland goes to Baltimore and Joe gets his revenge.

911
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 2: Okay, listen, I think that's another game. I think I

912
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:37,560
Speaker 2: think Baltimore would rather play in the first round of

913
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 2: the teams they could play depending on how the you know,

914
00:54:40,719 --> 00:54:43,880
Speaker 2: Week seventeen go eighteen goes. They could play Miami, they

915
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 2: could play Buffalo, they could play Jacksonville, they could play Houston,

916
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 2: they could play Indy, they could play Tennessee. All of

917
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 2: those are possible. I'm sorry not Tennessee. The pott in

918
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 2: Tennessee's out obviously, but in theory, the only teams that

919
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 2: the only team that Baltimore that can make the playoffs

920
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 2: that it is impossible Baltimore plays in round one is

921
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 2: the three seed, the Chiefs. They also can't play the

922
00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 2: two seed in round one, but we don't know who

923
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:24,239
Speaker 2: that's gonna be. So Baltimore's potential opponents are Miami, Houston, Jacksonville, Indie, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland.

924
