Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, welcome, Welcome back to another episode of the
0:05
so called Sports Analyst, Episode number twenty seven. Josh, how you doing?
0:11
I don't think we're Me and you are both doing good. I guess
0:14
Christmas was the only bright spot because we were able to spend time with our
0:18
families and received gifts. But the two things we went through this weekend is
0:23
unforgivable. Yeah, yeah, no it was. But once again, like
0:28
Josh said, hope you guys had a merry Christmas. But before we get
0:31
started, you guys can follow us on Twitter at Flying Garcia one hundred and
0:35
Underscore Alfonso zero three. Whatever. You listen to it on speaker, Spotify,
0:39
our radio, or any other platforms we appreciate, and just make sure
0:42
you share it to anybody that likes sports. So we usually start off with
0:47
NFL, but the next time we record, the college football playoff games would
0:52
have started. So we're gonna start with the college football playoff games. So
0:56
which one did you want to start off with? First? Bama or Bama
0:59
in Michigan or Texas and Washington. We can start with Benma in Michigan,
1:03
Michigan. All right, go ahead, I'll get I'll start you want we
1:07
can. I think this game is gonna be a in the trenches type of
1:14
game because I don't think Michigan trust is JJ McCarthy enough to get into a
1:19
shootout, and I don't think Alabama trust is Jalen Milroe to get into a
1:23
shootout. So this is gonna be a I believe Jalen Milroe using his legs
1:27
and Jayleen mckillon his backup, I mean his backup, his running well,
1:30
basically his backup running back. If we're really going to look at it,
1:34
also getting some carries in this one and then two. Just good defense is
1:38
going at it. But what I was looking at, Michigan is top five
1:41
and like every statistical defensive came, they have been lights out this season.
1:46
The only team that really gave them problems a little bit was Ohio State,
1:49
and that's just gonna happen when you have Marvin Harrison Junior, make Aguca,
1:55
Julian Fleming, Kate Strover, when you have those weapons that you can get
1:57
the ball to than that, Michigan has really put put a hold on everybody
2:04
that they played against, and that it's gonna be a good defensive matchup.
2:07
I believe it's gonna be low scoring. I can see it. I can
2:08
feel it. It's gonna be like a yeah, like a seventeen to fourteen
2:13
type of game. Oh shoot, you don't think they're gonna even crack twenty.
2:16
I don't think so. Damn well. So, like you said,
2:21
I think it's gonna be the two best running backs in the country on display,
2:23
between Blake horm and Jalen Milroll. But okay, I have to give
2:28
credit where credit is due. Jalen Milroll he has strong yeah, yeah he
2:34
pause, yeah, but yeah, I know he has played some damn good
2:42
quarterback play these past four or five weeks. And I think that's gonna just
2:46
be the difference right there. And I just think Michigan, even though they
2:51
made it through all the allegations of Jim Harball, whatever it is, I
2:54
just feel like they're turning down. In Alabama, they're trending up because Alabama.
3:00
Alabama has all the momentum. They went into Georgia and beat Georgia,
3:07
and so they're basically thinking, if we could do that, then we could
3:09
be any other team in the college football playoffs. And just once that I
3:15
wanted to give is as far as red zone percentage, So Bama as far
3:21
as when they get into the red zone, they're forty seven for fifty,
3:23
So they scored forty seven out of the fifty times they've been in the red
3:27
zone, thirty five of those times have been touchdowns. Then compared to Michigan,
3:34
Michigan's offense, they've been in the red zone fifty nine fifty nine times
3:38
and scored fifty two times. Forty two of those times have been have been
3:44
touchdowns. So these teams, if they get into the red zone, they're
3:47
going to score because they're just that dominant. So I feel like it's going
3:52
to be played in between the twenties. Like you said, just old school,
3:54
gritty, tough football. And so with that being said, I Thinkama
4:00
they are gonna end up winning this game, and Bama They're gonna be back.
4:03
Do you have a score projection? Oh no, you did say seventeen
4:06
fourteen, right, seventeen fourteen Bama. I think it's gonna be a little
4:12
bit more scoring, but not too crazy. I think it's gonna be twenty
4:16
seven to twenty one. But I think, like Michigan, they get a
4:19
late touchdown to make it look like it was a close ball game, but
4:23
it really wasn't. Yeah, I think Alabama comes away with the winning this
4:28
one. It's just something. The monitor is the return of Jim Harbaugh back
4:32
on the size the team for John always get them. It's Jim right,
4:35
Jim Jahn correct. Okay, So it's gonna be something to monitor it with
4:40
him coming back because they've been playing pretty well without him. I don't think
4:43
they really missed a step. I wonder if the passing game is gonna be
4:46
a little bit better with him coming into the fold, because when you move
4:48
up your coordinator, I'm sure the offense looks a lot different when the main
4:54
play caller isn't in full effect. So we'll see. He trusted JJ McCarthy
4:58
a little bit more than what his click with his with the what his with
5:02
Sport red Head coach did. Yeah, so we'll see how that plays out.
5:08
And I just hope, I don't know, we'll to see what Nick
5:12
Saban does because I feel like a lot of people have been kind of downplaying
5:15
his name recently, talking about like he's washed, like he's passed his time.
5:19
So probably is personal to him. These games right here are going to
5:24
be personal too. He's taking this personal, but and I took that personally.
5:30
He's pulling his m is going to be on his last dance documentary.
5:34
Yeah, he is. So I have a quick question. I know this
5:39
off topic, but so do you think if Nick Saban he wins, because
5:44
I know he's up there in age, do you think he he has a
5:46
chance of retiring? Well? How much years does he have left on that
5:50
contract? Quick? Yeah, here, I'll look it up. I'll look
5:57
it up for you right now. So he's seventy two years old and he
6:04
has well, he has a contract till twenty twenty nine, so I think
6:12
he has a couple more years in the in the in the chamber. Yeah,
6:15
but at you're you're seventy two years old, you're older than I think
6:19
he's even older than Belichick. I don't, I don't know. I just
6:23
well, Pete Carroll's like gout to be eighty, isn't he. Yeah,
6:27
that's it's just crazy seeing somebody that that old. Pete Carroll's last year if
6:33
we're really yeah, I can say that. But but before we let's let's
6:40
before we get off topic, we'll go ahead and move on to I think
6:44
this one's going to be the exciting game right here. This is Texas and
6:47
Washington. So what do you think about this game right here? Josh going
6:55
a couple of weeks ago, I was like on the hype train that Washington
6:58
was gonna come away with this one. But I kind of did a lot
7:00
of dig Doug Deep looked at the film, talked about all of it,
7:04
and I was looking at the this Texas Longhorns defense and they're actually really good
7:09
and something that Washington relies, not relies on, because they have a really
7:13
strong passing offense with with their weapons that they have with Romo Dunns, Jalen
7:18
McMillan and then Jalen Polk or on on their team. It's that they can
7:25
also run the ball with Dylan Johnston and without And I think I believe that
7:30
Texas can take that away because they have the number three rushing defense in the
7:34
whole in all of college football, any team that you name their number three.
7:40
And once they take that away, they're gonna force Michael Pennix to really
7:42
push the ball down the field and that could work. That could make a
7:45
room for a lot of mistakes happening. So that's that I think Texas comes
7:47
away with this one, especially with Ada Ni Mitchell and Xavier Worthy on the
7:53
outside and Quinn Uwers. I believe that he's here to make a statement.
7:56
So I'm gonna go with Texas in this one. But I think it's gonna
7:59
be a little bit of a a little bit more high scoring. I see,
8:01
like a like a thirty five to twenty one twenty eight affair. Oh
8:07
shoot, So you think Texas they win pretty convincingly? Huh, Yeah,
8:13
I think they do in this one. I'd be pretty surprised if Washington is
8:16
able to pull it out. Well, So I guess we flipped from from
8:20
two three weeks ago then, because I I'm really confident now. I think
8:24
that Washington they're gonna win. I know that Texas they have momentum, and
8:30
I know it's gonna be played. I know it's gonna be played in the
8:31
South, which it's gonna be a Texas home game. Let's not get it
8:35
twisted. But I think it's gonna come down to as far as who's the
8:39
better offense and the better offense the entire year has been Washington and clearly the
8:45
better quarterback has been Michael Pennix. So as far as just quarterbacks obviously,
8:52
and but let's get to everything else. Running backs, Dylan Johnson said CJ.
8:56
Baxter, he's in since Jordan Brooks is out. That's wide receivers.
9:01
We're not even gonna discuss that. I know that Texas, like you said
9:05
that worthy a Donnie Mitchell, even they have Winnington and Jatavian Sanders, but
9:11
just that three headed monster, Odunze, Polk and McMillan, it's just it's
9:16
just unstoppable. And I know you said that this Texas defensive line, they
9:22
are one of the best. I think it's the best front seven in the
9:24
country. They've only allowed eleven sacks the entire season, and I know they
9:31
don't rush the passer well, but it's just the offensive dependent team. As
9:35
far as from Texas decide, I think that it's they're They're gonna have to
9:43
play a certain brand of football. I feel like if this gets past twenty
9:48
four to twenty seven ish, it plays into Washington's favor because you're gonna try
9:52
to be playing catch up the entire time. And so I know I know
9:58
that Texas is defense good or their defensive line, but their offensive line concerns
10:03
me because first off, you don't play in a strong conference. You're playing
10:07
the Big Twelve as of right now, I know they're going to the SEC,
10:11
but they've given up twenty five sacks this year. That's not good right
10:16
there, giving up twenty five sacks. And I know it's not like Washington
10:20
has this massive defensive line, but that's going to be a problem in where
10:24
it could benefit Washington there. So that's why I just think I think Texas
10:30
has a better defense, Washington has a better offense. If I had to
10:33
pick one of the two, I'll lean towards the offense because, especially now
10:35
in college football, the offense always finds a way to win the game or
10:39
the better offense. And as far as with the red zones, the red
10:45
zone stats, so Washington they've been in the red zone sixty four times,
10:48
they've had a touchdown forty five times. Compared to Texas, who's been in
10:52
the red zone fifty five times, they've only scored twenty seven times. So
10:58
what that says right there is that is that Washington they they capitalize when getting
11:05
to the red zone, compared to Texas they kick field goals. So that
11:09
could be where the seven to threes, that's that's gonna be a big difference
11:13
right there. So with that being said, I think Washington they're gonna win
11:16
in a high scoring game. I think it's gonna be thirty seven to thirty
11:20
five. I think Texas gonna put up points. Just Washington they're gonna put
11:26
up Do you think it's just like a late comeback game or do you think
11:30
like it's like back and forth type of game. I see it being a
11:33
back and forth game. I think this Texas offense is going to show up,
11:37
and I know everybody's expecting the Texas defense to be to be better.
11:41
But it's not like Washington. They have played bonds the entire year. They've
11:46
been through Yeah, they've been through Oregon, USC Oregon again and they're putting
11:52
up the USC. Yeah that's true. No, but yeah was Washington.
11:56
They're just they're just a juggernaut. They just are. Their offense is the
12:01
best out of these four teams remaining. But so we have Bama, we
12:07
both have Bama, and then you have Texas and I have Washington. Did
12:13
you want to add that to the pickums this week or just have to be
12:16
a tidebreaker? Yeah, let let's have that be a tiebreaker, right,
12:20
there. So since we got that, got that done right there. How
12:26
we mentioned the NFL, We're gonna go and get into the NFL games,
12:30
and like we always do, we start off with the Monday night football game
12:33
in which it was a San Francisco forty nine Ers versus the Baltimore Ravens,
12:37
in which the Ravens stomped them thirty three to nineteen. Josh, what did
12:45
you take away from this game? This is the best team in the NFL.
12:50
We've said the forty nine Ers the last couple of weeks. We've said
12:52
that. I understand we have said that, but after watching that game,
12:56
there's no doubt in anyone's mind that's the Baltimore Ravens. The Baltimore Ravens showed
13:01
up and they showed out they're all on all fastes of the football. It
13:03
started off slow on offense. Both teams started off slow the off They didn't
13:07
get going in the first half. But when that second half came around,
13:11
that's when the Ravens started cooking up the storm. And then the Ravens defense
13:16
was cooking the whole game. They were they were doing anything and everything they
13:20
wanted to with this forty nine Ers team. I'm sure they got. They
13:24
got the yards you can look at. Maybe you helped your fantasy football teams
13:26
out a little bit with the forty nine ers, but the Ravens defense dominated.
13:31
They had four sacks, five tackles for lost, eleven passes deflected,
13:33
nine quarterback hits, and five interceptions, two by Kyle Hamilton alone. And
13:37
there was on a play where he got chop blocked at the line of scrimmage,
13:43
got back up, got to where Park through the ball cut the tip
13:48
for an interception. Dude, they pleased. This team does nothing but play
13:52
hard on defense, nothing but play hard, and they have the people to
13:56
do it. Marlin Humphrey, Kyle Hamilton, Patrick, Queen Rocn Smith.
14:00
This goes on and on, and this team's gonna be very scary for anybody
14:03
that has to go up against If they're gonna I think they win the AFC,
14:05
and ultimately they're my pick. That just changed my pick, and they're
14:09
probably gonna win the Super Bowl in my opinion. And well, we can
14:13
say the defense, well, I'm gonna go into this. Lamar Jackson,
14:16
Yeah, go ahead, I get that. It's a quarterback award. He
14:20
just won the MVP and he's the MVP in of the league. After this
14:22
game, he he didn't play lights out, but he had twenty He went
14:28
twenty three for thirty five, two fifty two and two touchdowns while rushing for
14:31
forty five yards with his legs. I know that's not Galaxy taking over numbers
14:37
or but that's enough to beat said, if you can do that against the
14:41
San Francisco forty nine Ers, you're doing something right. Do it against anybody?
14:43
Yeah, yeah, no, yeah. So, So what I took
14:48
away from this this game right here, is that the Baltimore Ravens, like
14:54
you said, they are the best team in the NFL, but they are
14:56
the most physical team as well. They bull lead the bully. Let's not
15:01
get a twist of the San Francisco forty nine ers. Before this game right
15:05
here, we're looking like the clear cut favorite and dominating everybody that they face,
15:11
and they went up against the Ravens and got absolutely manhandled. But I
15:16
think another thing that plays a factor into it is Lamar Jackson being twenty and
15:20
one versus the NFC. So you're not used to seeing somebody like Lamar Jackson
15:26
the NFC. I know there's a jail and hurts Kyler Murray, but that
15:31
doesn't even serve them no justice there. And yeah they're not the same.
15:35
Yeah, no, they're definitely not the same. But like you said,
15:39
this Ravens defense, it's it's just incredible what they do week in and week
15:43
out. And I think I said this before the game. I swear I
15:48
told I told my dad because we were talking. I was like, I
15:50
think Kyle Hamilton's the best safety in the league. He's like, no,
15:54
I don't think so. He's barely in his second year. For another day,
15:58
it's a debate, but I stand on that. I think just what
16:03
he does for that defense is just game changing, and he proved himself yesterday.
16:08
So I'm just saying Ravens, they may be the MVPs of the week.
16:12
That may be maybe the first team to end up winning the so called
16:17
MVPs of the week. But as far as the Niners offense, here Rock
16:22
Purty, like, what happened to you? Bro What what happened? But
16:26
I think the biggest thing I know, I said, Brock Purdy was a
16:30
franchise quarterback last week. And I'm not going to overreact and say, Okay,
16:36
he's not that anymore. I don't. I want to stand by what
16:38
I said, but one thing that I didn't like is that there was no
16:44
developmental throws or no throws to like try to improve his progression as far as
16:51
him being a quarterback. So Kyle Shanahan really has them underneath that system,
16:56
so he's not making anything outside the read he's supposed to. So it's just
17:03
very concerning as far as with that and how they view brock Purty because this
17:08
is already the fourth time where you've been trailing and you haven't been able to
17:14
show any sort of resistance. Literally, Sam Darnold, he did better than
17:18
you and Christian McCaffrey. He's the only reason they were in this game.
17:22
I know you told me I think the game will still close. You said
17:26
Christian McCaffrey is an MVP, and I really couldn't disagree with you at that
17:32
time period when it was a close game because McCaffrey is this offense. Go
17:36
ahead. Well, I only say, lamar because they're going to predicate towards
17:40
the quarterback. Yeah, my real opinion, I do think it's Christian McCaffrey
17:44
that should win the MVP award. Yeah, yeah, it's it's definitely a
17:49
weird year because if you want to go off of who has the best stats,
17:55
it would probably be Dak two or Pretty, but they all lost recently.
18:00
Maybe Tula has a chance, which we'll talk about in the second.
18:03
Then Lamar he has the wins and the one seed. But his stats,
18:08
I think he has like twenty three total touchdowns including Russian, and I think
18:12
like thirty eight hundred total yards combined, So it's not like, Wow,
18:17
holy crap, he's blowing everybody away. So, like you said, it
18:22
would be the year to give it to a skill position player. Okay,
18:26
I want to harp on like what you said about Brock Purdy. There's a
18:30
reason why he's not my MVP because when it comes to taking games over and
18:34
putting it in your quarterback's hands to win, he just hasn't proven that he
18:38
can do it. He hasn't proven that when the going gets tough, when
18:41
I'm down points, that I can make a play myself, and I haven't
18:45
seen that from him in all of his losses that they've had, which is
18:48
for this season, he has thrown nine interceptions because he tries forcing the ball
18:53
and doing too much. He does not have that big playability in my opinion,
19:00
he does not have Let me take this game over and put it all
19:03
on my shoulders and we're gonna win this thing. He doesn't have it because
19:06
you notice when this game got rough, you know who. They gave the
19:08
ball to Christian McCaffrey. They gave the ball to Christian McCaffrey and he did
19:12
the best he could. But he's only a running back. He can only
19:15
do so much. That's when you have to rely on your quarterback to make
19:18
the throws, make the perfect reads, put the ball where it needs to
19:22
be. And I just haven't seen that in losses from Rock Party. And
19:25
that's why when people tell me he's the MVP, he's the MVP. No,
19:29
he is not the most babble player because this team, I'm not going
19:32
to say it. We saw with Sam Donald, they showed a little bit
19:33
of life, but it's not They're still not gonna win with Sam Donald.
19:37
But yeah, you just got to get a quarterback doesn't turn the ball over
19:41
and this forty nine Ers team will be okay. That's why brock Perty to
19:45
me, is not the MVP. He's a good quarterback, and all accounts
19:48
he's a good quarterback, do not take that, do not say take that.
19:51
Take from what I'm saying that he is a good quarterback, but he
19:53
is not the quarterback if you know what I'm saying. That makes that makes
19:59
sense. And another that I want to say, as far as with Cowboys
20:02
Twitter, they've been saying, oh, well, San Francisco got figured out.
20:06
No, they did not get figured out. It was just the Ravens
20:11
proven they're the best team in the league. And I'm I'm still not concerned
20:14
with the San Francisco forty nine ers because nobody could really out bully them other
20:19
than the Ravens. I think maybe, just maybe the Cowboys can have a
20:25
chance. But we'll talk about that in a second. But other than that,
20:30
I want to in one quick stat go ahead, go ahead, you're
20:33
good. Oh but I thought you're I thought you're doing it. I thought
20:34
you were doing a transition right there. Uh no, the rape. The
20:40
Ravens have one have seven wins by fourteen plus points this season. All those
20:44
opponents are currently above five hundred. Texans, Browns, Lions, Seahawks,
20:48
Bengals, Jags, and forty nine Ers. There's no team in NFL history
20:52
that has had more than five. They're just dominant. They when it matters
20:56
for them to play good teams, they show up. Yeah. Yeah,
21:00
that's one team that won't have a letdown. And like I mentioned two weeks
21:03
ago, the only three games that they lost, they were leading in the
21:07
fourth quarter in all of those games. So there hasn't been one game where
21:14
they just laid a goose egg. So so yeah, no, this Ravens
21:18
team, they're definitely scary. But anything else you want to take away from
21:22
this one, uh No, we covered up. We covered pretty much everything
21:26
there was to talk about it about that game, all right, Well,
21:30
we'll get into the other Monday Night foot or Monday games because those three of
21:33
them. But first we're gonna go with the old fall from Italian stallion.
21:40
He fell, he fell, they failed very far, they felt him and
21:45
yeah, in which the Eagles won thirty three to twenty five. Tommy DeVito
21:49
gets pinched and Tyrod Taylor he starts the second half. Josh, what did
21:55
you take away from this game? Tommy DeVito didn't fail, They fell.
22:00
Tommy DeVito, Let's just say that. Let's put that out there right now.
22:03
You can clip that, do that. Tommy de Vito doesn't fail.
22:07
But I think the Eagles escaped this one. I think they really they they
22:14
if they played a semi better team like this, they lose this football game.
22:19
They really do because the Giants. Sure they were up I believe twenty
22:25
to ten at one point, but the Giants had a surge. They were
22:26
coming back. They were they were they were giving this team a fight,
22:30
and even towards the end, they were in it. On that last drive
22:33
of Darren Waller got his ass up instead of laying on the field crying about
22:36
something. But that's a that's that's neither here or there. The Eagles still
22:41
escape with a win. Jalen Hurts plays okay. DeAndre Swipp I think was
22:45
the only bright spot really for the Eagles, like if you really want to
22:48
take because he rushed the ball pretty good twenty for ninety two a touchdown.
22:52
He did that little where they gave it to him like an outside run,
22:56
but there was nothing there, so he flipped the field and made a basically
23:00
ran fifteen yards for a two yard touchdown. So that was pretty cool to
23:03
see. This defense continues to get taken apart. I understand it wasn't like
23:08
crazy, but this is the Giants, man, you should be able to
23:11
dominate the Giants if you're supposedly a Super Bowl contender. I'm not convinced about
23:17
the Eagles anymore. I need to see more from this team for me to
23:19
get back, for me to believe that they're a team to beat. Well,
23:26
okay, here's the thing about it, though, Even if they do
23:29
beat the Cardinals and the Giants the's next two games which they have left,
23:33
it really won't prove anything because the Cardinals they have three wins. And if
23:37
you beat the Giants again, so what, you're supposed to beat them.
23:41
But there's, like you said, there's no signs of momentum here. There's
23:45
no signs of all right, well, all right, well we're gonna get
23:48
this show on the road and we're going to go into the playoffs streaking.
23:52
So and I know you said twenty to ten, but I just looked at
23:56
it. It was twenty to three. So I know that whole special teams
24:00
mistake that happened. But as far as the Eagles defense, as far as
24:06
if something happens right there, just hold them to a field goal because momentum
24:08
changes then that Jalen hurts pick six. I don't want to hear anything about
24:12
that that ball it was it was behind the receiver right there, or I
24:17
mean too much in front of the receiver. So that's just easy for dB
24:22
right there. So I think this Eagles team, they're they're not that good.
24:26
They're not. They just again they just try to line up against everybody,
24:32
just go one on one and say we're better. And eventually it's gonna
24:36
catch up to you because you're gonna have these teams out scheming you. Because
24:41
you're not scheming at all. It looks like there's no true game plan here.
24:45
It just looks like, oh, we'll run the ball this time.
24:47
Oh we'll pass the ball this time. It's very inconsistent. They just need
24:51
to stick to a game plan and run the football with DeAndre Swift. I
24:55
think that's their best bet right there. Run the football with DeAndre Swift and
24:59
well, go ahead, Well, Kenneth Gainwell looked good also, So really
25:04
get back to your roots, because what made them so great last year that
25:08
win, in doubt, they could just run the ball, like they could
25:11
just slow down the clock and run the ball. I feel like they're just
25:15
trying to prove that they are a dynamic football team, which is cool.
25:18
They have the weapons, but don't straight away from what you know best,
25:21
and that's running the football exactly. That's you just proved that or said that
25:26
to Tea. But anything else you want to take away from this one,
25:33
Tommy Devillo is still the goat. Well, all right, we're gonna talk
25:37
about your next goat here, in which it was a first Monday game in
25:41
which the Las Vegas Raiders went into Arrowhead and beat the Kansas City Chiefs twenty
25:48
to fourteen, and the Chiefs now fall to nine and six and the division
25:52
is still up for grabs. Josh, how are you feeling or what did
25:57
you take away from this one right here? I know it's kind a tough
26:00
time right now. Like I texted you, I texted you, I told
26:06
you. I held out hope, hoping that this offense would figure it out.
26:11
I argued with everybody saying no, Like I understand, our weapons aren't
26:15
great, but Rashie Rice is coming along strong. We still have Travis Kelsey,
26:18
we still have a good old line despite their mistakes. We still have
26:22
the goat, Patrick Mahomes at quarterback. We still have Andy Reid. But
26:26
that shit just didn't happen. It just didn't happen in this game. They
26:30
didn't prove anything that I was saying, because this is the worst I've ever
26:34
seen Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid together offense play, and besides maybe the Tennessee
26:41
Titans in twenty twenty one after they lost to the Super Bowl and they lost
26:45
twenty seven to three, this is probably the worst that I've seen them play
26:49
because no matter what they did, they had a couple good moments, but
26:53
even the moments where they'd scored a touchdown, that drive looked terrible for them
26:57
getting all the way down there. It just it just wasn't clicking. Travis
27:02
Kelsey looked out of sync, he was dropped, he was bobbling every football.
27:07
Mahomes looked like he was rushing everything. And this is the first game
27:10
that I can blame Mahomes on. This is the first game that I will
27:11
sit here in a mint. This is all on Mahomes. Mahomes. There
27:14
was a throw to Justin Watson where he was rolling out to the right,
27:18
had Justin Ross wide open, but instead he looks throws it to Justin Watson
27:22
who's kind of fading to the outside while Jack Jones comes in score a touchdown.
27:26
And ruins the kids day. But that's just that's and then and then
27:30
the play before that, they do they try some trick sweet like hand off
27:37
from Patrick o'biams from Isaiah Protectar Patrick Mahomes. They fumble it and it's a
27:41
walk in touchdown for the Las Vegas Raiders. It's this. It was this
27:47
terrible play calling all the way around. These receivers were not getting open.
27:49
Mahomes looked on easy. This offensive line played the worst game of the season
27:53
that they have played. I understand they get a lot of penalties, but
27:56
they did not let nobody touch Patrick Mahomes. That's something they do not do,
27:59
and they did it in this game. I'm gonna give a little stat
28:02
here Mahomes. I forgot who posted it who, but it was an insider
28:07
in the NFL. He said. Mahomes rushed nine hundred and seven He covered
28:11
nine hundred and seventeen yards in this game and sprinted two hundred and eighty yards.
28:15
That is that is almost Tampa Bay Buccaneer Super Bowl numbers. Where he
28:19
was running for his life the entire time. This was a terrible outing from
28:22
this offense as a whole, and it sucks because we have the best defense
28:26
that Patrick Mahomes has had in his entire career, where they only allowed the
28:30
Raiders to six points and didn't allow a single pass to be completed for three
28:37
entire quarters. And then the last driver where they get up those big runs.
28:41
They're exhausted, they're tired, they're probably just fed up with this offense
28:45
not doing anything worthy of like life. So why would they show up on
28:51
that last drive when this offense probably won't even get three yards. It was
28:53
just a terrible game all the way around. We talked about it earlier.
28:56
The best hope I have for this team is divisional. If they get to
29:00
the conference championships, I guess I'll be happy and we can get in maybe
29:03
go get some weapons. Mm hmm, well, yeah, I know.
29:07
It's it's hard for me to disagree with what you said. This isn't solely
29:11
on Patrick Mahomes right here, I'm not gonna say that. I feel like
29:15
Patrick Mahomes. He has been part of the issue for these past few losses,
29:18
but this one it was just obviously the big pick six and then that
29:22
fun well I don't know whose fault that was right there, but that's his
29:26
responsibilities, so duh, that's gonna be on him. But I just don't
29:32
know what it is with this Chiefs offense. It's just so confusing. You
29:36
can't tell me that Juju Smith Schuster was that big of a piece. You
29:41
literally kept everybody else and you added Rashid Rice. I know he may not
29:47
be as good as Juju was last year, but he's still he's still a
29:51
good piece. So I just don't understand it. I'm starting to really think
29:56
that Eric b enemy, Eric beenemy and Matt Nage. That's a big difference
30:00
right there. And I've never seen Mahomes more frustrated before. That's one thing.
30:06
I know. They've obviously lost games before, they've lost they've lost four
30:10
or five games before in the season, that's normal, but he's never been
30:14
this frustrated, even with the play calling, because even several times in that
30:18
game he was really frustrated with the play calling. So I think that either
30:22
option option A to say the season is have Andy Reid call the place,
30:29
or option B you wait till the offseason and you fire Matt Nagi and get
30:33
another offensive coordinator in, because if you're not gonna add any weapons in might
30:38
as well change some of the the schematics there. And like we were talking
30:44
about a little bit earlier, you're gonna have to pay some of these defensive
30:48
players. You're gonna have to pay Drew Trankle, You're gonna have to pay
30:51
Chris Jones. You're gonna have to play pay Lagarius Snead. So do you
30:56
Mike Games? So are you gonna favor paying the offense or the defense more
31:03
so? It it's gonna be a tough situation for the Chiefs. They're really
31:06
gonna have to know this next draft right here to keep the dynasty going,
31:10
because I don't care if it's Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, whoever. If
31:15
you don't have good pieces around you offensively, then you're not gonna do anything.
31:19
It doesn't matter how great your defense is. And as far as from
31:23
the Raiders side, just as far as great defense, yeah, great defense.
31:30
I completely forgot the coach's name. What's the coach's name again? Yeah,
31:36
Antonio Pierce. I feel like he deserves to keep this job. He's
31:40
flipped the Raiders around your pig. And even though they haven't won all of
31:45
the games they've played, they have a different intensity and they're playing just different.
31:49
They're playing for the coach, So I deserve or I think he does
31:53
deserve to keep that job and see what it is for a full year,
31:57
maybe draft a quarterback or whatever. So is there anything else you want to
32:01
take away from this game? Josh yeah. On the part of like the
32:06
Matt Nagy and Matt and Eric b Enemy area and the receivers, I think
32:12
what Juju did well is he knew exactly where to line up. He knew
32:15
exactly where to find the zones. He knew when Mahomes was playing street ball,
32:20
like I gotta get moving, I gotta get open. We just don't
32:22
see that with this team. This team is very young. That's the thing.
32:25
People hate on Juju a lot. But he's an experienced, veteran receiver
32:30
in this NFL who has shown production that he can do it, and he
32:32
showed it last year. He's he he he. I think what's one thing
32:37
is he held that wide receiver room accountable because he was clear cut the best
32:40
receiver out of all of them that were there. I think it's hard for
32:44
a rookie receiver to go up to Marcus Bauerle Scantling and tell him where to
32:46
line up. Tell him where to go. That I think that's something that's
32:49
missing. And then what's also sucks is that we have a first year a
32:52
wide receiver coach who was a running backs coach in Connor Embury. That's not
32:58
something you should do in the middle of a Honestly, you shouldn't hire our
33:00
first year running back coach to coach to wide receivers who include Sky Moore who's
33:06
in his third year, Scott who's in his second year, Kadarius Tony in
33:08
his third year, Rashid Rice, a rookie, Richie James who has been
33:13
the fourth stringer, third stringer his whole career, Marcus Bellen Scaling who's nothing
33:15
but a running Miles type of guy out there. It's just not gonna work
33:19
that way. You need someone with experience to go in there and tell these
33:22
receivers what to do. And as far as the Matt Nagy, he was
33:24
there last year, he was the quarterbacks coach. He's been in the Andy
33:28
Reed system before, so I don't really think it's him the problem. It
33:30
falls on Andy Reid because Andy Reid is the one who calls the place.
33:32
Andy Reid is the final say on everything that happens in the offense. I
33:37
understand. I there's a whole thing accountability, accountability part where being to me
33:40
would be on the sideline, ripping Travis Kelsey, ripping Till, ripping Patrick
33:44
Mahomes, getting on their ass, ripping the offensive line. I understand if
33:46
you're coming from that standpoint. But other than that, this is this is
33:51
an experienced wide receiver room from top to bottom. If you really look at
33:53
the coach that's in there and the receivers mm hm. Well and as the
34:00
that I wanted to take away. So one of my friends he told me
34:02
this. He said, so last year it was supposed to be the Chiefs
34:06
rebuilding year, but it ended up obviously being the super Bowl. But it
34:10
looks more like that now. Yeah, they literally won on accident. It
34:15
looks like now more than ever, that this is the Chiefs rebuilding year.
34:20
That's It's exactly what it looks like. In as much as you a team
34:23
wants to get away from the rebuild, it just catches up to them.
34:27
And I just think it just caught up to the Chiefs. I think I
34:31
think the Chiefs they have more of a chance to go one and done in
34:35
the playoffs. Though then making it to the Super Bowl. I'm more confident
34:39
as far as with that because respected I respected that. As of right now,
34:45
they're the three seed, and so that means see and Bill's they're starting
34:53
starting to step it up. We're not getting We're not going to get into
34:57
that, but we'll yeah, but all right, uh, let's just go
35:01
ahead and get onto this next game then, in which it was the Sunday
35:06
night football game between the Patriots and Broncos, in which the Patriots, after
35:12
beating up I think a couple of possessions, yeah, a couple of possessions,
35:15
the Broncos came storming back and the Patriots they end up having a game
35:19
winning field goal and winning twenty six to twenty three. Josh, anything you
35:22
wanted to take away from this game, I told you, Fonso, I
35:29
told other people the Broncos are not the team y'all think they are. Sure,
35:35
they beat us, everyone's beating us right now, but if you really
35:38
look at it, the way they win football games isn't sustainable. It's too
35:43
slow, it's too methodical, and honestlyand the Patriots aren't that great of a
35:46
team. They're not, but they still have be a Belichick on the other
35:49
side. And that's what I really take away, Billies, that you played
35:51
okay and they and the Broncos are just starting to come back down the earth.
35:57
Yeah. No, I agree with that one hundred percent. And what
36:02
I hate is that the Patriots they went all the way from the second overall
36:08
pick to the fourth overall pick. So and it's not like you have a
36:14
young team, so so you have an experienced, veteran team. So what
36:20
you're doing is just ruining your chances of getting either Drake may or Caleb Williams.
36:24
And I know they say, well, no team is out there to
36:28
tank. If anything, this is the year to tank. This is the
36:32
year to tank. And I've been I've been big on the Broncos, but
36:38
again, I want I'll admit I was wrong about the Broncos. I thought
36:42
that they were about to make a late season turnaround, but obviously that's not
36:47
happening. But there's nothing else I could really say from this game. Did
36:52
you want to take away anything else? No, it was just two teams
36:57
that will not make the playoffs playing against each other. Yeah, this is
37:00
a draft season. This is draft season. Yeah, pretty much. But
37:05
all right, the first three o'clock game that we have. It's the Arizona
37:09
Cardinals versus the Chicago Bears, in which the Bears they won twenty seven to
37:15
sixteen. Is there anything you really took away from this one? Josh Justin
37:22
Field just trying to play his way to a to a team, or he's
37:27
trying to secure his spot. He's playing really well these last couple of games.
37:31
Khalil Herbert had a big day, Cole Comitt had a big day.
37:35
They come up with the win they had. They played really good offensively.
37:37
But it's also versus the Cardinals. Kyler Murray played a clean game. Kyler
37:39
Murray's just doing Kyler Murray things with what he can do with what he has.
37:45
So they're just the Bears don't really have to worry about losing games because
37:49
they have that that Panthers pick, So they're secure the number one or number
37:52
two seed no matter what happens. As far as all that, they'll have
37:57
two top ten picks and the card are playing for Marvin Harrison Junior right now.
38:02
Yeah, I can't really disagree with you, but all I really have
38:07
to say before we move on, Justin Fields, I'm gonna need you big
38:09
next week. It's the only fantasy football championship I made it in. So
38:14
I'm gonna need you to be clutch against Atlanta. You gotta pull through,
38:16
please please, I hope you do. But all right, we're gonna move
38:21
on to this next game, in which it was a Jacksonville Jaguars versus The
38:25
Bake Show Baker Mayfield, in which the Buccaneers they whooped the Jaguars thirty to
38:32
twelve. Josh, what did you take away from this game? The Buccaneers
38:40
are coming on strong. They're figuring out how to play with each other,
38:44
and they're gonna They're gonna be a scary team, I think, much for
38:47
a team that's getting caught lacking. They're gonna be a scary team much like
38:51
the Rams because they can score pretty fast and pretty quick. Because Baker Mayfield
38:55
is that guy, Mike Evans is that guy. And Rashad Waite came back
39:00
down to earth a little bit in this one, but he still got on
39:02
the board with a touchdown. So they're they're here, They're they're playing hard
39:07
for each other, and dude, I don't know what is going on with
39:12
this Jacksonville Jaguars team. I don't know if you do, but I don't.
39:15
They are two and four of their last six, and they have lost
39:19
four in a row. It's like them and the Chiefs both got together,
39:22
Dougie p and Andy Reed, good old buddies, Saint Apprentice and a freaking
39:30
Jedi Knight, Jedi Master and their padawan got together and we're like, hey,
39:34
let's let's let's tone it down a little bit. Let's start losing some
39:37
football games. And because that's what's happening with both these teams. Because Trevor
39:42
Lawrence goes away with a shoulder and goes away with a shoulders, a sprained
39:45
shoulder. Who knows if he comes back to for the rest of this for
39:47
the rest of this season, if they make the playoffs, they'll probably come
39:51
back. But but I don't know. Man. Like we were there,
39:54
there was such high hopes. You have Calvin Ridley, you have Christian Kirk
40:00
coming off a big year, Evan ingram et N, you drafted Tank Bigsby,
40:05
Trevor Lawrence is gonna make that next step into that next tier of quarterbacks.
40:07
And it just hasn't happened for the Jacksonville Jaguars. And it's and it's
40:10
it's pretty sad to see because I like Trevor Lawrence a lot, but I
40:15
like but I'm happy my guy Baker beat him because I'm a big Baker guy.
40:19
Okay, text tech lesson, let me tell you. But but the
40:24
it's hard because they showed so much hope versus the Chiefs last year in the
40:28
playoffs, and they on that comeback versus the Chargers, they showed that they
40:31
can score at will, they can come back even when it going gets tough,
40:35
and they it look like they just regressed instead of progressed. Are we
40:39
ready to have a conversation that Trevor Lawrence is a bust? I'm being I'm
40:45
being here, Okay, I I hear you, mm hmm, I don't
40:53
know about Okay, bust considering considering he's a bad quarterback, but bus considering
41:01
his hype, Yes, yeah, okay, considering the hype. Yes,
41:07
because he's he's one of those guys that was put in the Andrew Luck Peyton
41:10
Manning category where only a few players Caleb Williams like, we're only a few
41:15
players coming out were so highly touted. He was in that category of people.
41:21
So yes, in that sense of bust. But let's say I'm pretty
41:24
sure that there's at least probably fifteen teams of the NFL that would love to
41:28
have Trevor Lawrence as their quarterback. But yeah, in the sense of being
41:31
that five, that forty five hundred, consistently thirty touchdown while getting a little
41:37
bit done with your legs type of quarterback, he hasn't been that. Yeah,
41:42
No, he definitely hasn't been that. And it looks more it's not
41:45
a coincidence that whenever Travis Etn stopped really getting in the rhythm, as far
41:52
as when he stopped having these monster games the Jacksonville Jaguars, they went down
41:57
the same way that Christian McCaffrey is the engine for the San Francisco forty nine
42:01
ers to a lesser to a lesser tier the Jacksonville Jaguars. Travis Etn he
42:08
is the engine for the Jacksonville Jaguars. So it's if they don't run the
42:15
ball, then they're not gonna have no chance at all to win any of
42:17
these ball games. And the Tampa Bay Buccaneers there, they're just on a
42:23
roll right now as far as them scoring all these damn points. So these
42:29
past three games thirty thirty four and twenty nine. I know it's against the
42:32
Falcons, Packers, and Jaguars, but you're still scoring points. Thirty points
42:37
is thirty points. So they're definitely on a roll and they are looking like
42:42
one of the best offenses right now. I wouldn't go as far as saying
42:46
they would be a tough matchup for whoever they play, maybe Philly if a
42:53
team gets caught slipping, like a team gets caught with they're handing the cookie
42:59
yard, you know what I'm saying, Like, so, yeah, yeah,
43:01
I get what you're saying. But like say, for instance, the
43:05
instance the Cowboys, they're the five seed, it would be four versus five.
43:09
I feel really confident that the Cowboys would win. Not saying it's a
43:14
blowout. I'm not saying like it was last year. But we also see
43:20
we've seen like a Mike Evans, who has a lot of this word DK
43:24
Metcalf was able to take advantage of some opportunities. And I'm pretty sure like
43:30
a player who's a big play threat like Mike Evans would be able. I'm
43:32
not saying like he's gonna go for one seventy eight and two touchdowns, but
43:37
like that could be something they could exploit is that Mike Evans is smart and
43:42
able to create opportunity. But I don't see them the Cowboys losing to the
43:45
Buccaneers. Yeah, yeah, No, I wouldn't see that either. Like
43:50
I get exactly what you're saying. I just I just think that the Cowboys
43:53
would still win maybe Philly. Maybe Philly, because the past is their past.
43:59
Defense is so terrible and that's what the Bucks dedicate themselves on. But
44:02
all right, since we're already talking a little bit of Cowboys right here,
44:07
let's go ahead and get into the game. Well, the Dallas Cowboys lost
44:15
to the Miami Dolphins, which once again they lose on the road for a
44:19
game winning field goal. Josh, what do you take away from this game
44:23
right here? Is are we ready to have the conversation that the Miami Dolphins
44:30
are referal football team? Oh? That is interesting. I would have to
44:37
say, yes, yes they are, because I'll hey, but they broke
44:44
my model. I'm pretty mad about that. Tyreek Hill had nine to nine
44:46
receiving yards. Yeah, I'm on, Fonso, come on, bro,
44:52
I guess I'm wrong. I guess I'm wrong. You couldn't so, but
44:57
this is a good defensive battle. I think between both both teams were able
45:00
to exploit opportunities outside of Ceedee Lamb having like a pretty big first quarter,
45:06
Like he was kind of like not he wasn't like held in check, but
45:08
like he wasn't as as as like they stopped giving him he was. Yeah.
45:16
See that's I just kind of feel like they they became a little bit
45:20
less aggressive in these last couple of weeks. They're kind of doing a lot
45:22
of dinking and dunking. Not really, I don't know. They were doing
45:28
a lot of big plays when they were kind of showing up and they're just
45:30
not doing that at this very moment. I understand you're playing against Jaylen Ramsey,
45:35
but Jayleen Ramsey isn't the same like he used to be. We saw
45:37
Brandon could catch a back shoulder over him in the end zone. It just
45:42
I don't know what's going on with the play calling. If they're scared to
45:44
do it, they need to stop ringing Tony Pollard up the middle. I
45:46
know that they need they need to create opportunity for him to make big plays.
45:51
And then just this Dolphins offense though they're they kind of get stagnated against
45:57
really good teams A good defenses. I think they're gonna have to get lucky
46:01
when it comes playoff time of getting a really an okay, but really in
46:06
the in the AFC, there's there's a lot of good defenses. So we'll
46:09
see how that plays out. But jaaln Wattle also walked away with this game
46:15
with people say at a high ankle sprain. I believe I saw that,
46:19
Yeah, that they might that he might miss the the rest of this regular
46:23
season. So that's something a monitor going into into the playoffs if he'll be
46:27
back for this Dolphins team. But I don't know. Like Bradley Chump had
46:31
had a good gay. I saw him getting in with some two sacks.
46:35
The offensive line was a little wasn't playing as good. But I don't know
46:38
this is this is a good game. I thought, in my opinion,
46:42
well, it might have been a good game for you, but it wasn't
46:45
a good game for me. I was very stressed. No, it wasn't
46:47
a good game for me because if y'all lose, the Chiefs are still fighting
46:50
for first place. He if y'all win, so really I forget the Cowboys.
46:58
Hey, y'all should have taken their business. But no, we already
47:04
talked about my team, talk about your team. That's what I'm gonna do.
47:07
But first I'm gonna get into the Dolphins side. So obviously there was
47:12
that big stat as far as them not beating the team over five hundred.
47:16
They proved that this this week that they can do that. But again,
47:21
this is they're on the same that the same situation with the Cowboys. They're
47:24
at home, They're seven and one at home. They're a comfortable team at
47:28
home. So they need this two seed right here, the two or one
47:31
seed, which there's gonna be big implication between the Ravens and the Dolphins.
47:36
So yeah, it's gonna it's gonna be real interesting to see if they could
47:39
go on the road and win. But it was a really good team or
47:45
this is a really good team that they played. So other than that,
47:51
the damn Dallas Cowboys. I think you were in the message where I was
47:55
texting my dad and his friend where I was talking about on the it seems
48:00
like the play calling it gets a little bit vanilla ish and like they don't
48:05
put the ball in Dak's hans as much, And we saw that exactly happen.
48:10
So the first three drives and the last three drives, the ball was
48:16
in Dak Prescott's hands. And what happened. I know there was a fumble.
48:21
Hunter. LOOKI that was a big fumble, But I'm not gonna say,
48:24
oh, that determined the game. You had the rest of the game
48:27
to play. I'm not gonna say there's one play that determined the entire game
48:30
there. So so you went fumble, then you went touchdown, and then
48:37
I think you drove all the way to the fifty or forty yard line,
48:40
and so you were moving the ball. Then what happened in that second through
48:45
third quarter you got stagnant. You put the ball out of Dak's hands.
48:49
You try to become this running football team. Yes, it's important to run
48:54
the football, but this team, it relies on Dak Prescott first and foremost.
49:00
And another thing I want to say is that Mike McCarthy, you need
49:06
to get your skill position players CEEDE Lamb, Jake Ferguson, Brandon Cooks the
49:12
football. Like like you said, CD Lamb, he got the ball the
49:15
first drive. He had one hundred total yards in the first in the first
49:19
quarter, then after that he had fourteen yards after that. So that's just
49:24
a big thing right there. Wait what I was playing him in fantasy and
49:30
I was like, nah, he's gonna go for like in his game,
49:35
but it's stalled out. Yeah, I know. And there's another stat,
49:40
so Brandon Cooks he averages, he averages fifty more yards at home compared to
49:45
Rodney. I think it's only twenty yards he averages in road games, which
49:52
is a ridiculous stat right there. That's just showing like this offense, it
49:57
gets vanilla and it makes no sense because if any Dak Prescott, he's the
50:00
only quarterback in the league with thirty touchdowns, so he's dominant. He's been
50:06
the best quarterback the entire year in my opinion, and I'll stand on that.
50:10
And Okay, we're not going to sit here and put this game on
50:14
Dak Prescott. That's what I've seen. A bunch of a bunch of analysts,
50:17
a bunch of people on Twitter trying to become Twitter famous. Solva cowboy
50:22
takes Dak Prescott when he needed to. Like I told you the last three
50:28
drives, field goal, field goal, touchdown. If you would have said
50:34
I was so confident after Dak Prescott scored that touchdown, I was like,
50:37
Okay, the defense are going to get a stop, but they just kept
50:42
killing themselves with penalties. They just kept killing themselves constantly, over and over
50:46
and over and over again. And how it started was Demon Clark with the
50:50
face mask. You put them all the way from the twenty five to the
50:52
forty five because it was a five yard game. So that changes all momentum
50:58
right there. And I don't mind if they get a field goal or even
51:00
a touchdown, but you're not even gonna let your quarterback touch the ball.
51:05
You're not even gonna let them touch the ball. And it's not like you
51:07
had no timeouts. You had four minutes, so you have the two minute
51:10
warning and you had your three timeouts. So that's where they need to step
51:15
up situationally. So it's just it's just a tough spot for the Cowboys because
51:22
they are kind of going downhill. But one thing I can say is that
51:28
it's not like, other than the San Francisco game, every game that they've
51:31
lost, they've been really competitive in it's been down to the wire the Philly
51:37
or the last two road games against tough teams. It's Philly and Miami.
51:42
So it's not like they're not stepping up to the occasion. They're just not
51:45
getting the job done at the end of the day. That's what it is
51:50
at the end of the day. So the Cowboys, I think they're fine
51:54
because if okay, I'll say this, Prescott keeps playing like this, which
52:01
I think is the best quarterback in the league as of right now, then
52:05
you could have a chance to win any ball game, whether it's home or
52:07
away. And that's that's just facts. The quarterback can carry a team to
52:13
certain levels. Look, Joe Flacco did it in twenty eleven. Just not
52:21
Okay, well, I agree with you on that, But is there anything
52:22
else you want to take away from this game? Damn you Cowboys? Damn
52:32
I know, I know it was. It was a sad time. But
52:38
now we'll be good against the Lions. But all right, speaking to the
52:42
alliance, we'll see, Okay, we'll talk about it in the predictions,
52:47
we'll talk about it. I'm ready to I'm ready for nah nah only one
52:58
fifty. Hey, I have Hey, I have a monro in fantasy football,
53:01
or in that in holding Almane downs fucking fourteen catches for ninety three yards
53:09
and a touchdown. That's how you hold Allmroe. Hey, I'll take it
53:14
because in that league where I made the championship, so it sucked because I
53:19
had Tyreek Hill and so I ended up winning by three points. So I
53:24
was like, I was like, damn it, Tyreek cutt it. But
53:27
I was thinking like, hell yeah, Tyree cut it. So so this
53:31
is off topic. This is this is off topic. Okay, So I'm
53:35
in three championships. I drafted Amana in every single league. But you know
53:38
my league, I had the third overall pick, so I'm not in a
53:40
fourteen man so I'm not drafting Almanad at the third overall pick. I had
53:44
a draft Tyreek. So in the two championships and that I'm in, I
53:47
have Amanro. But in the championship that I'm also in your I don't.
53:52
I'm playing Amano because Breckon Dombas won't trade me Amine throughout the season, so
53:58
I'm playing him and I don't know. Like, so I hope he has
54:04
a big day and rest of Brecons team does shit. So I hope when
54:07
you listen to this Brecon, I know you will fuck you. No Breckens
54:15
team breakings, team's put up put up a bunch of points. Did you
54:19
see that he put up like one sixty. Yeah it was one week,
54:22
Fluke. Fluke, do it again. I've been consistent every week. I'm
54:28
the highest scoring team in the league. Do it every week? Flu I
54:31
get this, Jared did to shit on Brecon podcast. Right, yeah,
54:37
but all right, before we get more off topic here, we'll talk about
54:42
this next game, which it was the Lions and Vikings and which the Lions
54:46
finally clinched the NFC North, in which they beat the Vikings thirty to twenty
54:52
four. Josh, what did you take away from this one? So the
54:57
honorary Detroit Lions fan that I am, I feel like a proud father.
55:05
I feel like when I saw their come up happening two years ago before everyone
55:09
else saw it, because I believed in the Dan Campbell's of the world.
55:14
I was waiting for this moment when I lost seventy dollars last year because I
55:19
bet it that they would make the playoffs. I didn't hold back this year.
55:22
I was like, no, they're gonna be first in the NFC.
55:24
They're close. They're not there yet, but they're close. And I'm standing
55:30
on business because these are my boys. All Monroe's my boy. The only
55:34
player who's a jersey I would wear not on the Chiefs is all Monroe,
55:37
Saint Brown. I'm proud of them. They're they're They're been one of the
55:42
worst franchises in all of the NFL, right next to the Arizona Cardinals.
55:46
Well they've been to Super Bowl. So the Troit Lions have been the worst
55:50
franchise in the NFL and they're on top. Now. Is this has to
55:54
feel good for Lions fans. It feels good for me and I'm not even
55:58
a full on Lions fan, so you know, it's just good to see
56:02
that this was too good. Okay, I'm not gonna say two good offenses
56:06
because the quarterback position for the Vikings is uh if he but he's still through
56:09
fort eleven. But with four picks, that's some Jameis Winson numbers if you
56:14
ever asked me. But this was justin Jefferson Nomina going back and forth with
56:19
each other in that fourth quarter. You can just see it. Justin Jefferson
56:22
proved why he was the best receiver in the NFL in this game. Why
56:25
if you want if you don't, okay, brother, well we'll debate about
56:29
that later. But but justin Jefferson's the best receiver in the NFL, and
56:32
he made some big catches no matter who he got popped. I believe like
56:37
I saw in this forty yard rowe where Nick Mullins just put it there.
56:42
He got popped in the right in the math, and he held on to
56:45
the goddamn football. That's what a real receiver does. And then on this
56:49
on the in the fourth quarter in the throw it up situation, he threw
56:51
it up on two guys you know who came down with it. Justin Jefferson.
56:54
He played well and he played great in this game, six for one,
56:57
forty one and one touchdown. Just like the say, this is not
57:00
on you, players, this is not on you. It was Nick Mullins.
57:04
It was Nick Mollins. He threw four touchdowns. He threw four touch
57:07
he thought he I mean not touchdowns. He threw four interceptions in his game
57:10
in bast situations. He did it last year. He did it versus the
57:13
Vikings, also versus the Bengals. Also. So I don't know, you
57:17
gotta be you gotta protect this football man, because this Vikings team might have
57:22
lost their chances of making the playoffs. T J. Hawkinson just tore his
57:24
ace or I don't. I don't know, but he heard his ACL and
57:28
ncl okay. Well, then he's out for the rest of the season in
57:30
the beginning of next year. For sure. That's sad to see them go
57:34
down like that. But as far as the Lions team, man, this
57:36
defense so needs to get back on track a little bit more. They played
57:38
good in this game, but they just need to do a little bit more
57:42
because of the offense is just the great offense that it is. They they
57:45
were able to run the ball with Jamior Gibbs, throw the ball to Almanas,
57:47
same brown, run the ball with David Montgomery, and it's just good
57:52
to see them finally win a division title after a million years. Yeah.
57:57
So it was actually nineteen ninety three, so exactly thirty years. So some
58:02
congrats, Yeah, congrats. Yeah, I know I was. I was
58:07
negative ten years old, but so I know you mentioned negative not negative eight.
58:14
Geez, congrats Lions fans, we finally see you win a division.
58:19
But not only did Nick Mullins have four interceptions, but he had two fumbles.
58:23
I don't know if you knew that, So yeah, he was it
58:25
was literally a Jameis Winson next, I guess I wasn't paying that much attention
58:31
to the game. But so after Nick Mullins, he had a good week
58:37
last week against the Bengals in which they lost, Like, oh yeah,
58:39
Nick Bullens had a good week. You know what, let's just abandon the
58:43
run game and act like he's a franchise quarterback. That's exactly what they did
58:45
right there. They just said, all right, well, Nick Mullins,
58:49
you got this. It's it's your salutes. And at the end of the
58:53
day, he's a backup quarterback for a reason. So yeah, as far
58:58
as from the Lions side, what I preached about two weeks ago, the
59:02
Lions they just need to run the football and Jared Goff he'll look so much
59:07
better than what he actually is. And that's what's happening. I'm on row
59:12
Saint Brown. That dude, he is Hey, he's a shot come from
59:16
Hey. I said that a few weeks ago. I said, Jared Goff,
59:22
if he has a run game, he'll look damn good. But if
59:24
he doesn't, then that's when the interceptions, the fumbles, that's when that
59:29
starts happening. I'm unraw he is top five receiver after this year. This
59:35
dude, he's just a bad game for him, like you said, is
59:37
literally ninety yards and a touchdown. That's how damn consistent he's been. And
59:44
yeah, Jamier Gibbs, they're finally getting him the ball's it's you love to
59:49
see it. He has nineteen touches and I think he had one hundred total
59:52
yards, So it's good you get the playmakers your ball or in two touchdowns.
59:57
Yeah, and two touchdowns. So it's just good that you see that.
1:00:00
And hopefully they could carry on the momentum because I don't know if you
1:00:05
know this, as of right now, they'd be playing the Rams in the
1:00:08
in the playoffs right now, so that'd be a fun game. That's gonna
1:00:12
be a fun game and a storyline too. Is their first ever home playoff
1:00:17
game. Matt Stafford comes back to Jared Goff gonna handle stand on Benis.
1:00:23
I don't know, I don't know, Jared Golf going to stand on Bisnis.
1:00:28
But all right, before we go ahead and get out more top or
1:00:30
get more off topic, let's just let's just go a quick recap through these
1:00:36
next three games right here. So can I can I? Can I get
1:00:39
something else real quick? Okay? So the reason you know how you're saying
1:00:45
the run game, Well, surprisingly the Detroit Lions are number one rushing defense
1:00:51
and all of the NFL. They just don't allow teams to run the football.
1:00:53
They can't, they don't. They can't stop the throw for anything,
1:00:57
they can't stop the past for anything. But when it comes stopping the run,
1:01:00
they can't even get sacks. But when it comes to stopping the run,
1:01:04
they're like the Texas Longhorns of the NFL. If we're really gonna say
1:01:07
make a comparison, they can stop. Yeah, they can stop the run.
1:01:10
Just for so if that's why it's playing the Rams, it's gonna be
1:01:16
scary because no matter if you stop the run, they're just gonna hand that
1:01:19
ball twenty four more, twenty eight more times to Kyrin Williams and still take
1:01:22
the top off. So that's gonna be a good matchup. But Jamiir gives
1:01:28
his hell of dynamic with the football. I also want to say that out
1:01:31
there, because he can cut. He's fast, like I don't know.
1:01:35
The touchdowns that he got were not easy touchdowns. It's not like he just
1:01:37
ranted up the middle straight. Yeah, he bounced out, he juked people.
1:01:42
He he's a dynamic player man, and he's he was worth every bit
1:01:46
of the twelfth overall pick. People were hating on them for hating on them
1:01:50
for drafting Jack Campbell, but for but Brian Branch. But really, this
1:01:55
Jamier gives us that guy he is. Yeah. Do you okay? I
1:02:00
know this is somewhat off topic too. Do you think that next year in
1:02:05
fantasy football he'll easily be a first round pick? No, I'll give you
1:02:13
this the David Montgomery if he's still there, if they still go along with
1:02:17
the two running back heads, I think he's a second round pick, early
1:02:21
second, like kind of where the adp for Nick Chubb and Derrick Henry went.
1:02:25
I can see him going right there. I also think Jon if Arthur
1:02:30
Smith is still there, will have the same grade, also a second round
1:02:32
pick instead of being first. Because Jamior gives as dynamic as he is,
1:02:37
he still splits carries. Let's not get that wrong. He's still splitting carries
1:02:39
with David Montgomery. So unless that changes, I don't see him moving into
1:02:43
a first round pick. I can see him second, early second, or
1:02:46
even early third. And then the same would be for Bijon because Arthur Smith
1:02:51
is Yeah, Arthur Smith. Yeah, but anything else you want to take
1:02:55
away from this one, you know, I'll save my thoughts for another day.
1:03:06
All right, Well, we'll go through these next three games pretty quick.
1:03:08
I'll let you I'll let you break this one down in which was the
1:03:12
Green Bay Packers at the Carolina Panthers, in which the Packers they had a
1:03:15
last second field goal to beat the Panthers thirty three to thirty. So what
1:03:21
did you take away from this one? Brock Brock Purty God, Bryce Young
1:03:29
played played great in this game. This is probably the best we've seen Bryce
1:03:32
Young play in his NFL career up to so far. And it's only we're
1:03:37
only fifteen games in, but he looked good in this one. He was
1:03:40
putting the ball where I needed to be. He was getting his weapons involved.
1:03:44
He was bretting the ball out pretty good in this game. Instead of
1:03:45
like targeting one Adam Thilan, he targeted DJ Chark six times for two touchdowns
1:03:50
in ninety eight yards. Adam Thielen for six for ninety four, Tommy Trimble
1:03:53
for for fifty nine. He's a sleeper tight end, but he's four for
1:03:58
fifty nine, and then Chewba Hubbard. He just continues to get the workload
1:04:01
and not he didn't do too great in this game. He still had a
1:04:03
touchdown. But the Packers on the other side, they played, they played
1:04:09
ok they played okay, They got up to a big lead and they just
1:04:11
kind of let it slip away, almost let it slip away. Jordan Love
1:04:15
played alright, seventeen for twenty eight to nineteen, two touchdowns. I think
1:04:17
it's good to see Aaron Jones kind of shake off the injuries in this one
1:04:20
twenty one for one, twenty seven. So we'll just see where these two,
1:04:24
where the Panthers end up doing in the offseason without that first round pick
1:04:28
that they would have had, and we'll see where the Packers go chame this
1:04:31
season. Maybe maybe somebody loses and they get a little bit more help and
1:04:34
they sneak in, but that's highly unlikely. Yeah, well there're seven or
1:04:39
eight, so anything could happen. But all right, this next game that
1:04:42
we're going to talk about, it's the Seattle Seahawks versus the tight Ends.
1:04:45
Did you want me to break this one down right here? Yeah, you
1:04:48
can take this one, all right. So the Seattle Seahawks, they won
1:04:54
twenty to seventeen and what this is a two game win streak and which they
1:04:59
squeak away from the ti Ends. The Titans, they got up to a
1:05:01
big start, actually they went up ten to three. Then after that the
1:05:06
Seahawks they finally snapped out of it. It was kind of a trap game.
1:05:10
This Tennessee Titans team. They may not be going anywhere this season,
1:05:14
but they're going to be a tough team for these next two teams that they
1:05:16
play because they're a veteran team and they just have that grit and that physicality.
1:05:23
So it's I think this is a nice win for the Seattle Seahawks,
1:05:27
and now you control your own destiny. If you win these last two games,
1:05:30
you're in so you don't have to depend on anybody else. But what
1:05:33
I like the most about this is that Gino Smith He's spread the ball around
1:05:39
to all of his playmakers. Tyler Lockett eight catches eighty one yards, Jsn
1:05:42
six catch sixty one yards, DK Metcalf four catches fifty six yards a touchdown.
1:05:46
So it's spread all all around and you really can't focus in on one
1:05:50
person. Go ahead, you forgot Jake Global one catch eight yards. That's
1:05:56
it. I forgot about the rookie since Jake Bobo. But one thing I
1:06:02
would like to see them do more is be able to run the ball with
1:06:06
Ken Walker a little bit better. Sixteen carries fifty four yards not the best,
1:06:11
but if you get that run game going, and if Gino keeps doing
1:06:14
what he's doing as far as spreading the ball around, then you could potentially
1:06:17
have a tough game for whoever the two seed or maybe a three seed is.
1:06:23
So this next game that we're gonna get into, I'll let you break
1:06:26
this one down since you're the Arthur Smith fanatic here. The Atlanta Falcons dominated
1:06:33
the Colts twenty nine to ten, in which Taylor Heineke started over Desmond Ritter.
1:06:40
Josh, what did you take away from this one? I don't know
1:06:47
what happened to the Colts. I guess they're they're how bad their run defense
1:06:51
is throughout the season caught up to them. Because that's what exactly what the
1:06:57
Atlanta did. They went thirty for one to seventy seven touchdown combined. They
1:07:00
really spread this ball around, which is annoying, super annoying. But Bijon
1:07:04
had twelve for seventy two. Tyler ils year nine for sixty nine and a
1:07:08
touchdown at Cordel Patterson seven for twenty six. That's annoying, but it's cool.
1:07:13
I guess for them. They win the game decisively. Bijon he got
1:07:19
a lot of reception in this game, so I guess his production wasn't diminished.
1:07:24
But seven for fifty to throw a touchdown on Kyle Pitts. I don't
1:07:28
know where to go with this Colts team because I don't know, like they
1:07:31
have a lot of hope. They show some bright spots, they really do.
1:07:34
But Josh Downs dropped like three catches on one drive I believe, and
1:07:40
one should have been a first down. I don't know. I just want
1:07:43
to I like this Colts team. They have a good Actually, let's see
1:07:46
where they're where they at Since the Jaguars lost, well, oh never mind
1:07:50
them. Houston and Jacksonville are still in that three way tie. Surprisingly,
1:07:55
so I think for them these last two weeks matter the most. This game
1:07:58
would have put them on top of they won, but they got blown out.
1:08:01
So if they can decide to really get their fate going forward, they
1:08:05
can sneak into this playoff well, they can secure their spot in the playoffs.
1:08:11
As for the Falcons. They need a lot of help. They need
1:08:13
the Saints to lose, I think again, and they need the Buccaneers to
1:08:15
come back down a little bit for them to even have a shot. But
1:08:19
that's that's highly unlikely in my opinion. With Baker at the helm mm hmm,
1:08:24
well, I think, oh no, if the Buccaneers they win,
1:08:28
they clinch the division. So so yeah, the Falcons they need to win,
1:08:32
they need to win out so yeah. But anything else you want to
1:08:35
take away from this one, Well, Colts have Raiders and Texans. How
1:08:40
do you feel about that? Do you think they could run the table?
1:08:42
But as far as the Raiders Raiders right now, I don't know. I
1:08:45
think the Raiders will end up winning that ball game right there. I think
1:08:49
the Texans I don't know if C. J. Stroud comes back because technically
1:08:54
the Raiders they are still in it for the playoffs and then the Texans obviously
1:08:59
they're trying to make the playoffs. Yeah, and that's against I think the
1:09:03
Chiefs lose out Dan really for that, that's for division. I think I
1:09:08
think that's for division. Might bad, that's for division. M hm.
1:09:13
I don't know the way the Chiefs have been playing I don't know, I
1:09:15
could see them losing out right now. But all right, we'll get into
1:09:20
this next game, in which it was the Washington Commanders versus the New York
1:09:26
Jets, in which the Jets they got out to a strong lead and the
1:09:30
Commanders they try to make a late comeback, but the Jets they end up
1:09:34
kicking a game winning field goal fifty four yards from Greg's are line to win
1:09:38
the game thirty to twenty eight. Josh, what did you take away from
1:09:42
this one? I love you and thank you very much for that forty point
1:09:47
exactly day. Yeah, put yes, put on Fantasy twelve from nine to
1:09:54
six to the air. That don't get better than the Iowa State cyclone.
1:10:00
That's really all I take away from this game. That was dominant Beverries Hall
1:10:02
the entire the entire game. Yes, and so so my my sister's fiance.
1:10:11
So he has Brese Hall and he was going to a championship. Luckily
1:10:14
he won, but he started Tony Pollard over him, and I said,
1:10:17
because I had Breese Hall, I understand it. But the way they've both
1:10:23
been playing, I kind of felt like you had to play matchups at this
1:10:25
point. Exactly was clearly the better pick, exactly. So I believe that
1:10:32
the whole week that Breese Hall in those three leagues, I'm like, oh
1:10:35
yeah, no, Briest Hall, He's going to be the one that goes
1:10:38
off. And sure enough proved exactly that. And I think he had a
1:10:43
total of one hundred and ninety five scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. So yeah,
1:10:48
I know that, dude bald. But so this is the second second
1:10:53
time. Let me see, Oh my goodness, my team scored one sixty
1:10:58
three and my opponent five and I made the championship. You had Lamar Jackson,
1:11:03
Lamar Lamar Jackson, Tyrone Breeze, Aman Rashi Laporte. My bench went
1:11:11
crazy too. Don't play with me team nineteen, Gibbs twenty four. I
1:11:15
use seventeen Flowers twenty two, Olave twenty two, Jordan Love twenty three.
1:11:19
I was guaranteed the dub no matter what happened. Okay, if you lose
1:11:25
off, that was off. Okay, if you end up losing, But
1:11:28
if you end up losing in that championship, then then you're like the twenty
1:11:32
seventeen twenty eighteen Warriors, who well, no, now that I'm playing his
1:11:36
team's pretty good too. That sounds like a stack team. Dak Joe Mixon,
1:11:42
Rahemoser, Justin Jefferson, Puka, Travis Kelcey AJ Brown. No,
1:11:46
your team is clearly better. Your team is clearly better. But ill just
1:11:55
wait for my fantasy my fantasy rankings after the season. Boys, I'll get
1:11:59
that to y'all. Don't worry. But okay, we get back on track.
1:12:02
I'll get back on track, ye, dude, Yeah, let's get
1:12:04
They bench Sam Howe, They've bench Sam Howe. I understand it. I
1:12:10
get he wasn't playing very efficient, but dude, like, why are y'all
1:12:14
throwing the ball so many times? Like I understand Brian Robinson isn't playing,
1:12:18
but bro get the ball to Antonio Gibson and Chris Rodriguez like more. Because
1:12:24
the reason he looks so bad is because you're forcing him to throw in situations
1:12:27
where he's still well when he's playing DJ Reed, CJ. Mosley and Saws
1:12:31
Gardner, where all facets of the receiving game are covered by all those guys.
1:12:36
It doesn't make any sense. Like it's not on him, like,
1:12:40
have better coaching. Yeah, and that's where EB needs to step in.
1:12:46
All the all these people crying about Matt nagy. Eb's here and he's not
1:12:50
doing much better. Yeah, but also there's a difference between Patrick Mahomes and
1:12:56
Sam how Sam Hell's a little bit. But I'm just kidding. I'm not
1:12:59
gonna get that. What this is it? No? But yeah, no,
1:13:11
these two teams, there's nothing really take away, no playoff implications.
1:13:14
So good job, Breesaw. Do that again next week. I need to
1:13:17
see consistency out of you. I need back to back games, Yes,
1:13:23
exactly. So then the last twelve o'clock game that we're going to get into,
1:13:29
it was the Browns versus the Texans. Mister Joe Flacco and Amari Cooper
1:13:36
had themselves a day in which the Browns won thirty six to twenty two.
1:13:42
Josh, what did you take away from this one? How boys wish they
1:13:46
had a Marii Cooper? Still he went eleven for two, five two touchdowns.
1:13:51
Joe Flacco does not care about life itseself, no matter if you getting
1:13:56
hit in the mouth, no matter if his receivers triple covered, crowd covered,
1:14:00
eleven covered, He's gonna throw that thing in there and hope something happens.
1:14:03
Because that's that's what's happening with this Clevin Browns seem he's unlocking big playability.
1:14:10
He's unlocking these receivers that they have these weapons, and Mariy Cooper.
1:14:14
He's showing why Marik Cooper is a number one receiver in this NFL. People
1:14:16
were hate people had their doubts on a Marii Cooper if he was still there,
1:14:19
if he still had that dog in him. Well, he left him
1:14:21
for two sixty five and two touchdowns in the most two hundred and fifty yard
1:14:25
games in NFL history, I think says a lot or not in NFL history,
1:14:29
but of like the last forty years, says a lot for a Marii
1:14:31
Cooper. I think, so, yeah, that's pretty good. This defense
1:14:35
can this defense does not have to have it all on them, which must
1:14:41
be nice. But you know, Joe Flacco, who knew he was the
1:14:44
answer for the Cleveland Browns. I just don't know how they're doing it.
1:14:49
I really don't know. I know Joe Flacco, he he could be a
1:14:53
quarterback that could throw the ball, but I didn't think he turned into twenty
1:14:57
eleven Joe Flago. Like, let's to be real here, if they get
1:15:01
the right matches if they if they get the right matchups, they can end
1:15:06
up winning the or not not winning the super Bowl, winning the conference.
1:15:13
Yeah no, yeah no, or okay, okay, so it would we
1:15:23
wouldn't play them, but I think they're gonna play the Jags, right No,
1:15:29
No, I think if the Chiefs the Jags. Yeah, they just
1:15:32
the three seed right now? Yeah, so five seed? Yeah, so
1:15:39
if the Chiefs would win, oh no, it would depend on other stuff.
1:15:43
But yeah, no, before we get off topic, so how I
1:15:46
usually write down my notes as far as as far as for each game,
1:15:51
I put Joe Flacco and Mark Cooper and equals and Randy Marshing and Tom Tom
1:15:56
Brady connection. So Marik Coop what he's averaging if if I'm not mistaken over
1:16:03
these past four games, I'm doing the I'm doing the math right now.
1:16:11
So he's averaging about one hundred and twenty five yards a game and he has
1:16:16
four or five touchdowns. So this this connection is dynamic right here. It's
1:16:23
it's been ridiculous, and I think this is consistent. You show signs where
1:16:29
you can run the ball with Kareem Hunt and er On Ford and you have
1:16:33
a great defense all Joe Flacco has to do is it'll be just throw the
1:16:38
ball up and one of his playmakers will catch it. And and it's been
1:16:44
happening, and I think it will happen even in the playoffs. But there's
1:16:47
nothing else I could take from this. Because CJ. Stroud heels out,
1:16:50
it shows how valuable he is to the Texans. So anything else you want
1:16:56
to take away from this one, Josh, They're a real threat. The
1:17:00
Browns are a real threat to any team, I believe, So that's just
1:17:05
something to see. Yeah, and all right, well we're gonna go ahead
1:17:10
and get into the Saturday Saturday games, in which we'll start with the Saturday
1:17:14
night game. It was the Buffalo Bills versus the Los Angeles Chargers, and
1:17:19
which the Bills had a field goal with about twenty two seconds left to win
1:17:26
twenty four to twenty two. Josh, what did you take away from this
1:17:29
one? I was praying the Chargers took a dub in this one for the
1:17:34
first for the second time in my life this year, but it didn't happen.
1:17:39
So there was When they've made the offensive coordinator change, they've gone to
1:17:45
the run game. They've really handed James Cook off the ball a ton this
1:17:48
game, he had twenty carry seventy yards. Was in as dynamic as he's
1:17:50
been the last couple of weeks, but he was still he was he was
1:17:56
still being able to slow down the game for them, and then it just
1:17:59
wasn't like a game offensively for the Buffalo Bills. Gave Davis had his usual
1:18:02
once every six games, every seven games, four games, whatever you want
1:18:08
to look at it, where he pops off, and this was today was
1:18:10
a day he like, yeah, all right, guys, I took my
1:18:13
I took my I took my vacation. I'm back. Okay. So four
1:18:15
for one thirty in a touchdown that that helped this. When Gab Davis does
1:18:20
good, this team probably is gonna win except where nerevermon, I'm not evenna
1:18:24
get into it, but four for one thirty in a touchdown. But the
1:18:27
thing is what they need to do. They need to get Stefon Diggs the
1:18:29
football. I understand, Actually I don't understand this Chargers team. They're not
1:18:32
very great defending the pass and Stefon Diggs needs to get the ball more Over,
1:18:35
the last I think this is four weeks in a row where he has
1:18:38
less than like thirty receiving yards. It's something like that, because he has
1:18:43
he has pretty much been like non existent. I don't know what's going on
1:18:47
there. Josh Allen throws the ball twenty one times. I think this is
1:18:50
like how many they didn't they have a game was it against Oh yeah,
1:18:55
versus y'all where he threw the ball fifteen times, So he's not throwing the
1:18:59
ball as much. Sorry, that was a little rude. I'll take it
1:19:01
that back. Yeah, I know, yeah, no, no, it's
1:19:03
too late. But I don't know. They they have their flashes that they
1:19:11
can have that big playability at all times. But they were still in a
1:19:15
close one with the Chargers, who have not been playing really well football.
1:19:18
So that's let me see who the who Bill's playing next? The Bills.
1:19:25
They are playing the Patriots, Kers, and Dolphins. Well, basal,
1:19:29
you might have something to say about this, so but we'll see. I
1:19:32
think they I think they really have to win out. I think I wonder
1:19:35
if they said if they were secure their spot, yeah, if they win
1:19:41
one more in the playoffs, yeah, yeah, they secure their spot.
1:19:45
So I believe they do it next week against the Patriots, and it's gonna
1:19:48
be hard because they already beat my Chiefs and they wants to if if Josh
1:19:53
Allen gets into the playoffs, he just needs to put together good games and
1:19:57
they'll be all right. Yeah, So I I looked at that after you
1:20:00
said with Stefan Diggs. So the last time he had one hundred yard game
1:20:03
it was against the Giants October fifteenth. After that, six catches fifty eight
1:20:10
yards, six catches or nine catches seventy yards, six catches eighty six yards,
1:20:14
three catches thirty four yards, four catches twenty seven yards, six catches
1:20:17
seventy four yards, four catches twenty four four for forty eight, five for
1:20:21
twenty nine. So they really haven't involved they really haven't involved him. And
1:20:28
still Stefan Diggs still has top ten numbers. That's how damn good of a
1:20:31
receiver he is. But Josh Allen, he turned into a game manager.
1:20:36
Let's be real. Not that okay, I'm not trying to get into that
1:20:41
Cam Newton debate again, but not that a game manager is bad. But
1:20:45
they're taking the ball out of Josh Allen's hands so he doesn't turn the ball
1:20:49
over and they'll end up winning the game. Because this is a very talented
1:20:54
team, and I think this was a trap game for the Bills right here.
1:21:00
You beat the Chiefs in Arrowhead and then you beat one of the hottest
1:21:02
teams in the league at the moment, the Cowboys. So you're overlooking the
1:21:08
Chargers right here and thinking, Okay, well we're gonna get ready for our
1:21:12
game Week eighteen against Miami. We should coach these next few games. It
1:21:16
didn't happen, but they still got it done. So we'll see how they
1:21:19
do in the playoffs or just hopefully they don't slip up. But is there
1:21:25
anything else you want to take away? No, I hate the Bills and
1:21:31
the Chargers. Well, we're gonna talk about another team that you hate.
1:21:36
It's the Cincinnati Bengals and once they lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers thirty four to
1:21:43
eleven. Josh, what did you take away from this one? Mason Rudolph
1:21:51
has been the answer to all the Steelers fans prayers. He was just sitting
1:21:57
there behind can he pick it? And Miagel Trubisky just waiting, waiting to
1:22:00
get hit in the head again, waiting, but yead two ninety for two
1:22:05
touchdowns, and he threw the ball down the field. George Pickins had a
1:22:10
big first half. All of it came in the first half for for one,
1:22:13
two touchdowns, and it just almost seemed like it took the life out
1:22:15
of the Bengals. Big play after big play, and they just were non
1:22:18
They were just on response to the rest of the game. They had one
1:22:23
touchdown tie Higgins had a big day, but outside of that, this team
1:22:27
did nothing. The Steelers defense showed up and dominated. Joey Porter Junior was
1:22:31
playing good in this game. They he wasn't really shadowing to Higgins. They
1:22:35
were like doing it on and off type thing back and forth. Najee Harris
1:22:41
actually had a good day. I'll give it to him. He had a
1:22:43
good day, nineteen for seventy eight and one touchdown. They took the ball
1:22:46
to Jayalen Warren's hands, but they still threw the ball to him, which
1:22:49
I liked because I needed him for fantasy, So thank you. I guess,
1:22:54
but naj it is I'm not gonna say they're gonna be able to continue
1:22:58
this because Mason Rudolph there's a reason he's a third string in the NFL.
1:23:01
He's just not always gonna He's not gonna get the job done on a consistent
1:23:05
basis, but he did enough in this game for them to secure a win
1:23:10
and stay alive. Yeah, yeah, I know, I agree. And
1:23:14
one thing that this stat always continues to be true. If there's no other
1:23:18
NFL football stat you could believe, it's that Mike Tomlin never coaches a team
1:23:24
under five hundred. He's literally never had a losing season in the NFL.
1:23:30
And now they're eight and seven, in which it looks more and more likely
1:23:33
now that they're going to end up nine and eight. If they could beat
1:23:36
Seattle or the Ravens late, maybe they have clinched up the one seed or
1:23:41
whatever. But I think this just proves how good of a coach Mike Tomlin
1:23:45
is. After an embarrassing, embarrassing performance last week against the Colts and even
1:23:51
the Patriots the week before or no, they were on a three game losing
1:23:56
streak. Actually they were finally able to bounce back. Man, this team
1:24:00
just has so much talent and finally they just popped off finally. But like
1:24:05
you said, it's it's not gonna be consistent because Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer
1:24:11
or Mason Rudolph, whoever it is. I don't care. You you need
1:24:15
to consistent quarterback play, and they could be yeah, maybe they should probably
1:24:19
try Prance next week or blitz In or somebody. But dang, I forgot
1:24:27
about Doug Hodges. Didn't they end up winning that game? I think I
1:24:31
think he had a couple of bright spot a couple of bright moments. A
1:24:34
lot of bad moments, but a couple a couple of right right moments.
1:24:39
Yeah. No. But as far as with the Bengals side, right here,
1:24:45
Jake brown and he looked good for a couple of games, and after
1:24:47
that he ran into uh a defense that wasn't playing around. And this is
1:24:53
why Jake brown he's a backup quarterback, same reason Mason Rudolph's third string quarterback.
1:24:58
So I feel like this kind of I think Jake Browning gets a real
1:25:01
shot on another team. Do you think he gets a real shot? Okay,
1:25:05
So say, okay, this is not this is not a shot,
1:25:09
This is not a shot. Okay. Cooper Rush and the games that he
1:25:11
played last year was getting like a lot of love, but he wasn't putting
1:25:14
up like numbers or like passing yards. You know what I'm saying. Yeah,
1:25:16
people were like, oh, bench Dad put Cooper Rush in. No,
1:25:19
but Cooper Rush was throwing like no yards, like he was throwing below
1:25:23
two hundred yards like every game. But Jake Browning is actually throwing. I
1:25:26
understand he has weapons, but hot take are him and Brock pretty any different
1:25:32
because they're they're putting up the same stats with the same kind of weapons.
1:25:36
In my opinion, just saying so, I believe he can start somewhere.
1:25:40
I do think he can. I think he's better than Taylor Heinike and Desmon
1:25:42
Ritter. Yeah. I do believe that right there. Okay, I don't
1:25:46
think that. Let's not be crazy here. I think Brock Perdy he is.
1:25:51
He is ill say you'll heard it. I don't know. Yah.
1:25:56
Did he throw ninety one touchdowns his senior year in high school? I don't
1:25:58
think so. I don't think he did. Jake Browning did. Was he
1:26:00
two time high school player of the Year. Nope. Jake Browning was just
1:26:05
saying, yeah, yeah, no. But this Bengals, this Bengals team,
1:26:13
I thought they're gonna be back, but now they're gonna have to be
1:26:15
in a muscling must win situation versus Kansas City next week, which I believe
1:26:19
it is an arrowhead. So if they find a way to win that game,
1:26:23
and they're gonna keep their playoff hopes alive. It's just the AFC wild
1:26:27
Card. It's so stacked, so you can't afford to lose games. So
1:26:30
this is a big one that they lost. Anything else you want to take
1:26:32
away from this one, Josh, no service, get into the next right
1:26:42
all right, where we're gonna get into the very last game, which was
1:26:45
the first game of the week. It was a Thursday night football game between
1:26:48
the New Orleans Saints and the Los Angeles Rams, in which the Rams they
1:26:53
won thirty to twenty two. Josh, what did you take away from this
1:26:57
game? I texted breaking he's a Saints fan before this game, or I
1:27:02
called him. I was like, brother, I love you, but y'all
1:27:05
season is ending today. It's over. Y'all are not gonna make the playoffs.
1:27:11
I know we're shitting on him in this episode. I'm gonna continue doing
1:27:14
Actually episode, we're gonna title this breckon sucks after this game after so,
1:27:24
but the the Rams really foot on the gas this game. They got up
1:27:30
thirty to seven. If it wasn't for like a lot of garbage time,
1:27:33
points from the Saints. This game was really not even close. Phuka Nakua.
1:27:40
I don't know, I'm not I don't know if it's scheme. I
1:27:43
don't know if it's him, but he's him. So nine for one,
1:27:46
sixty four a touchdown continues his historic rookie season on pace to break he needs
1:27:54
eight more catches I believe to break the receptions record in one hundred and forty
1:27:59
seven yards, to break the receiving yards record for rookies. Yeah, and
1:28:01
he's top five and receiving yards. He I don't know, he's breaking the
1:28:05
model fifth round draft pick. It he's just he's just good man. There's
1:28:12
nothing we can really look at that chief legend. DeMarcus Robinson, Super Bowl
1:28:15
champion, six for eighty two to one touchdown. He's come on strong.
1:28:18
Why did we let go of him? Why is Sky Moore, Marcus Valdis
1:28:20
Scantley on the team. But DeMarcus Robinson's playing good for the Los Angeles Rams
1:28:26
Cooper Cup. He came back down to earth a little bit, six for
1:28:29
fifty two, but he's still doing Cooper Cup things. That six for fifty
1:28:31
two is just an off day for him. And then Kyron williams Man.
1:28:34
What more can we say about him? Twenty two for one to four to
1:28:38
one touchdown. He's just gonna get the job done. He's gonna when you
1:28:41
okay people, He's not a big name, but when you watch him play
1:28:44
football, you can tell on the field that he's a good football player.
1:28:46
Like he he creates a lot of things for himself, even after he gets
1:28:50
past the line of scrimmage, like he's he's running through people and he's not
1:28:55
a very big guy. He's running through people, he's juking the knock on
1:28:57
him. He wasn't very fast. Well, they're not doing a very good
1:29:00
job catching him, So I don't know. Matthew Stafford continuing to play great.
1:29:06
He's making a case if he can maybe get back, if he can
1:29:10
make a run. He's making a Hall of Fame case for himself for sure.
1:29:14
And oh yeah, Saints, come on, bro y'all gotta be better
1:29:17
than this. Alvin Kamara played terrible in this game, nine for nineteen rushing
1:29:25
and then he had five for sixteen receiving. I don't know. I know
1:29:28
the Rams have a good rush defense, but they just did not look dynamic
1:29:32
outside of Chris a lave in this game and Hershisha heat a couple of times.
1:29:38
Derek Carr, he's he's the problem for the New Orleans Saints here.
1:29:43
He is Dougie though other than the Dougie that's the only thing that was impressive
1:29:53
from him this game. He hit that thing, but other than that,
1:29:58
No, they paid them this contract and I think it's definitely not worth it
1:30:02
and they're gonna be stuck in cap hell these next few years. You have
1:30:06
good pieces around you, but again, he's a problem, and it's stats.
1:30:13
They look good, but it was really a garbage time touchdown in which
1:30:15
they got to make it look like it was closer, because I believe this
1:30:19
ballgame it was fourteen to thirty. So yeah, no, the Rams just
1:30:24
dominated. They're they're the hottest team in the NFL right now outside of the
1:30:30
Baltimore Ravens. So and even at that, they went toe to toe against
1:30:33
the Ravens, which is looking now now more likely or more like a damn
1:30:40
impressive loss because you were in Baltimore. So yeah, I know this Rams
1:30:45
team. They're on fire, and whoever plays them, I think they're going
1:30:48
to be in for hell. And the Rams I could see them potentially winning
1:30:53
up to two playoff games, making a conference championship run because they are that
1:30:57
veteran team. They have the coaches have set or they have Sean McVay,
1:31:00
So just look out for the Rams. So is there anything else you want
1:31:05
to take away from this? Josh, No, Well, we're gonna debate
1:31:10
a little bit more later, I think on the Q and as about what
1:31:14
I want, what I want to say. All right, sounds good.
1:31:16
So before we get into before we get into predictions and the other topic we
1:31:25
have, we're gonna just do a quick little update on the playoff picture.
1:31:29
So before so, we'll do a FC NFC. You'll list one, our
1:31:32
list the other. That's fine, right m hm. So, so in
1:31:39
the a f C there's five spots left, but the only teams that have
1:31:43
clinched the playoff spot. In the a f C it has been the Ravens
1:31:46
and the Dolphins, And in the NFC there's only three spots available and what's
1:31:51
the Niners, Lions, Eagles, and Cowboys have all clinched. So I
1:31:56
just want to list that before you list out the a f C. They
1:32:00
playoff pictures, So go ahead. Yeah, So, like we said,
1:32:04
the Ravens already clinched. They're the first seed, clear cut, clear cut
1:32:09
and dry. They're gonna they're gonna have the first round by by all looks
1:32:12
of it, I don't know. Uh, we'll organized a prediction. I
1:32:15
think they beat the Dolphins next week, so I think they secured the first
1:32:17
seed. It says the Dolphins will be playing in the Indianapolis Colts. Uh.
1:32:23
After seeing what the Colts did versus the the Atlanta Falcons, I don't
1:32:28
really have much hope for them in this game because Dolphins do run the ball
1:32:30
pretty well with Raheem Moster and Devon Aitchen, so I think they I think
1:32:34
that's a good matchup for the Dolphins going into the first round. Chiefs and
1:32:39
Bills would be playing with the three and six seeds I have. I can't
1:32:44
even tell you all what I think right now is gonna be up for grabs
1:32:45
for me. Whatever happens happens Chiefs versus Bills second in the first round.
1:32:50
Then we have Jags versus Browns. So this moment, I think the Browns
1:32:54
run through the Jacks, and they did it already a couple of weeks ago.
1:32:56
So they're ten and five, so they could honestly, well, uh,
1:33:02
it's hard for them even higher because they're yeah, oh yeah, there's
1:33:06
there. They're yeah, they are still in contingent for the one seed,
1:33:09
but it's gonna have to be based on upon I think the Dolphins have to
1:33:12
beat the Ravens and then the Ravee and then the Dolphins have to lose their
1:33:14
last game and then the Browns win out, right, I think that's yeah,
1:33:17
yeah, oh the raven So Dolphins, the Ravens lose out and Browns
1:33:23
out all their yeah, right, so yeah, Dolphins, they beat Ravens.
1:33:26
After that they lose, then Ravens lose out, then Browns they're in
1:33:30
or they're in as a one seed yep. Yeah, so they're still in
1:33:34
contention for that right now. Must be nice. But I think they beat
1:33:38
the Jags and then as far as like in the Hunt, in the hunt,
1:33:42
still fighting for their for their spots, Texans thirty seven percent chance of
1:33:45
making it still there seventeen percent, Bengals twenty three percent, Raiders eleven percent,
1:33:49
Broncos eight percent. The only team I could really see missing out right
1:33:54
now is the Jags or Colts, because it's gonna be predicated on who Jags
1:34:01
Colts because it's gonna be predicated if the Texans can beat the Colts and if
1:34:05
the Jags lose more games. I think that that's the only spots that the
1:34:10
only teams that we will see make or the Steelers could probably sneak in at
1:34:13
that seventh spot is all things go their way. But for me, I
1:34:15
think it's between Texans Jackson Colts for two spots in the in the AFC playoffs.
1:34:21
Yeah, and the Jags play the way Yeah, I could see that.
1:34:26
And the Jags they play the Panthers and Titans next, so so yeah,
1:34:30
maybe maybe they wrap up theirs and after that, I don't know.
1:34:35
It's it's tough. I think the the Ravens, Dolphins, Chiefs, Browns,
1:34:42
Buffalo or honestly, if I'm being real here, Baltimore Dolphins and the
1:34:47
Browns, those are the only real three teams in contention. I'm not putting
1:34:50
the Bills in Chiefs in there everybody else. They're kind of just filler teams,
1:34:56
if that makes sense. Like I respect the Chiefs and Buffalo for being
1:35:00
a veteran team and having some of the best quarterbacks in the league, But
1:35:04
other than that, I feel like they have no real shot. But so
1:35:12
if the Bengals they beat the Chiefs, and then I believe if the Colts
1:35:17
they lose somehow the Bengals they go all the way from the tenth spot all
1:35:23
the way to either seven or eight. I'm not exactly sure how that is.
1:35:27
So the Bengals they still have a shot. Yeah, there's just so
1:35:31
many probabilities, and I think it's gonna be more set and stone next week
1:35:36
when all of these games are done, you're you're gonna know who's gonna make
1:35:40
and who's not gonna make it. But all right, I'm a list of
1:35:45
NFC in which already listed the Niners, Lions, Eagles, Cowboys all have
1:35:48
their playoff spots clinch. So the Niners would have the one seed as of
1:35:55
right now. If they win next week, they get the buye. Then
1:35:58
you have the two seed, the little Delphi Eagles, who would be going
1:36:01
against the Seattle Seahawks, a rematch from two weeks ago. Then you have
1:36:05
the three seeded Detroit Lions versus a six seeded Los Angeles Rams. Matt Stafford
1:36:12
would go back to Detroit. Then you would have the Bake Show, the
1:36:15
four seed versus the five seed Cowboys right now. And then you're kind of
1:36:19
in a little bit in a weird in a weird spot right now because the
1:36:24
Vikings, Falcons, Packers, and Saints in that order, they're all seven
1:36:30
and eight. So from the Vikings Falcons to that side, they have the
1:36:33
eight to nine seed. So yeah, it's it's it's tricky. And then
1:36:40
the Bears got a chance. Man, the Bears got a one percent chance.
1:36:45
My bad. The six and nine Bears nice have a chance to make
1:36:50
the playoffs. It it's it's ridiculous though, all all the different stuff that
1:36:56
needs to happen. I think I think they said Rams goes out the Lions.
1:37:01
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. We're not gonna get
1:37:04
into how much needs to happen for the Bears to make it. Okay,
1:37:10
So I want to ask you this question, So, what would be the
1:37:13
matchups you would like to see from each from each each conference? One playoff
1:37:20
or one playoff matchup in the wild card you would like to see from each
1:37:23
conference? Well, of course the Chiefs. So whoever the Chiefs play,
1:37:29
I would like to see them get the job done mm hm, to see
1:37:31
if they still have that who they are the Chiefs are if they so they
1:37:38
can put so they can show who they are. That's really all I want
1:37:42
to see Chiefs. I think they play the Bills. Honestly, I think
1:37:45
the Bills move up. I do see them. No, actually they won't.
1:37:47
I don't know see them. And the Browns are close. Like if
1:37:51
the Bills can win win out and the Browns drop one, I wonder where
1:37:56
that switches them, honestly, but we'll see what that happens. But right
1:38:00
now, the Chiefs are either gonna play the Bills or Browns. Guaranteed.
1:38:02
I've guaranteed they play the Bills or Browns, and those are gonna be too
1:38:08
tough task for them because they've lost the Bills and the Browns I think beat
1:38:11
them at this very moment. So that's something I want to see in the
1:38:14
AFC. As far as the NFC Lions, I want to see whoever the
1:38:17
Lions play, if they can show that they are a for real team,
1:38:19
because this weekend I think is gonna be predicated when they play the Cowboys or
1:38:25
they play Sunaturday on Saturday Saturday, So on Saturday, that's gonna be very
1:38:30
something to monitor because if the Lions can go in there and beat the Cowboys.
1:38:36
I think it's gonna show a lot of people that think, oh,
1:38:39
this team is for real. I'm not gonna sit here and say that they
1:38:42
will, but if they can do it, it's gonna show a lot of
1:38:45
teams. I think, even you, that they are a for real football
1:38:47
team. And I think they're gonna play the Seattle Seahawks or the Los Angeles
1:38:53
Rams, and those are gonna be very big shootout games in my opinion.
1:38:57
Yeah, So, if you couldn't pick the chief or if you if yeah,
1:39:00
if you couldn't pick the Chiefs, which other game would you like to
1:39:04
see in the AFC? Dolphins Bills? That would be like if that,
1:39:13
if that matchup happens, If that matchup happens, Dolphins and Bills would be
1:39:16
exciting. Yeah, yeah, no, that that definitely will be especially talking
1:39:23
like matchups already said, No, not matchups already said, just like any
1:39:26
matchup you could possibly have, Dolphins Bills. Dolphins Bills would be my pick
1:39:31
right there. And I guess if I couldn't pick the Lions forty nine,
1:39:33
it would be honestly, Cowboys Seahawks again or Cowboys Rams. Mmmm. I
1:39:44
would like to I'd like to see that too, that MVP statement. But
1:39:47
no, if if I couldn't put the pick the Cowboys, I would like
1:39:51
to see the Eagles and Rams play. I would really like to see that
1:39:55
game because I think both teams would push you that. I mean, the
1:40:00
Eagles don't want to see that. Yeah, No, I would like to
1:40:02
see that though. That's the thing about it. No, but I think
1:40:05
both both teams would be scoring a bunch of points, like you said,
1:40:10
because even though the Rams defense they have been playing better, I think when
1:40:15
it when it would come down to it, the Eagles they would find a
1:40:16
way to put up some damn points. But a matchup that I would want
1:40:21
to see is I'd honestly want to see the Chiefs and Browns because that's two
1:40:28
gritty teams right there. Honestly, like two gritty teams, both physical.
1:40:34
Even though Joe Flaggo he has been playing good, at some point he's gonna
1:40:38
have a bad game. So I feel like it would be like the perfect
1:40:43
scenario for like Patrick Mahomes just end up just popping off out of nowhere.
1:40:47
So yeah, it would be a real defensive game, and I don't mind
1:40:54
watching defensive battles. Okay, I know this off topic right here. So
1:40:59
the super people with the Patriots and Rams, I hate to tell everybody they
1:41:02
said that was a boring super Bowl. I think that was one of the
1:41:05
better super Bowls to watch, even though what was it like three to ten
1:41:11
something like that. I think that was a good super Bowl because I guess
1:41:15
everybody although Odell scored the lone touchdown in the first half or something like that.
1:41:20
Oh no, no, no, no, no, I believe no,
1:41:23
the Rams and no is the Rams and Patriots? Oh? Rams,
1:41:28
Patriots? What are we talking about? When did the Rams and Patriots play?
1:41:30
Am I tripping? Oh with Jared Goff and all of them? Oh
1:41:33
yeah, yep, yep, I'm jemming right now. I don't know why
1:41:39
I was thinking Rams Bengals that was a That was a good game there too,
1:41:45
But that was also people were hating on that one too because they were
1:41:48
saying it was a defensive battle really because no team, they weren't scoring quite
1:41:51
a lot of a lot of points. Mm hmm. I don't understand that
1:41:57
one right there. But anything else you want to take away from this after
1:42:00
or before we get onto predictions, No, that's that that's pretty much on
1:42:08
the playoffs, it's it's it's gonna be closed for a lot of teams.
1:42:11
I think there's a lot of seven and eight and eighty seven, So well,
1:42:15
it's gonna go either way. Watch the team sneak like, yeah,
1:42:18
we didn't expect there's gonna be tea Oh my goodness. If the Raiders find
1:42:24
a way to sneak and that that would be crazy right there. But all
1:42:28
right, with their eleven percent chance, they have eleven percent chance. I
1:42:31
didn't realize it was that high. Mm hmm. Dang. Well, yeah,
1:42:36
Broncos and Bears have the lowest with eight percent. Then the Broncos.
1:42:43
If the Broncos won, wouldn't they have had like a forty percent chance something
1:42:45
like that they would end up winning. Yeah, but you know they're frauds.
1:42:53
Yeah, no, he Russ isn't cooking no more. He's he burnt
1:42:57
everything in the kitchen. No. But all right, let's go ahead and
1:43:00
get into predictions before we get into the other topic we want to get into.
1:43:04
So Josh I finally came back. It is officially five to five.
1:43:13
So I just wanted to make a late season come back here, and I'm
1:43:17
just saying, because we already have the Washington Texas one on board, so
1:43:24
just be careful who you're picking here. So all right, we'll start off
1:43:28
with the Thursday Night I wanted to give you hope. I wanted you to
1:43:30
feel comfortable. It's okay, all right, Well you gave me too much
1:43:34
hope. Now now my team is on a roll right now, telling you
1:43:38
we're like the Buffalo Bills. We're on a roll. But the Thursday night
1:43:43
football game, it's the New York Jets versus the Cleveland Browns in Cleveland.
1:43:55
Wait, now, give me the Browns. The Browns. Yeah, no,
1:44:00
give me the Browns in this one. I think that they will win,
1:44:02
but it will be close. I'm just hoping Prieste Hall has another big
1:44:04
day. I know. Next game we have, it's a Saturday game.
1:44:11
It's Detroit versus the Cowboys in Dallas. Detroit, you're taking Detroit, I
1:44:23
am taking my boys. Take a all right, well give me the Cowboys
1:44:29
here. I think this one's gonna be a high scoring game. Though.
1:44:31
I can see this being like high thirty, high thirties ball game, because
1:44:35
both of these teams are they like the Dome stadium. And then the start
1:44:41
of the Sunday games, we have the Patriots versus the Bills in Buffalo.
1:44:47
Well, you gotta put on your jackie, you gotta get Seriously, it's
1:44:51
little cold bro in here. I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go Bills,
1:44:57
Bills, all right, Well, give me the Bills too. The next
1:45:00
game, we have the Atlanta Falcons versus the Chicago Bears in Chicago. God,
1:45:13
give me the Falcons. The Falcons, give me that one. Give
1:45:21
me the Bears. Yeah, no, I'm sticking with that one percent chance
1:45:25
for the Bears. Give me Chicago winning. And Justin Fields he has a
1:45:30
well, I hope so four hundred yards, four touchdowns. Please, I'm
1:45:32
gonna need you to be clutch in this fantasy football championship. Please, I'm
1:45:36
begging for it. Pause. Then next game, we have the Las Vegas
1:45:42
Raiders o versus the idiot Appolis Colts in Indy. Who do you have in
1:45:48
this one? I'm not to go with the Raiders in this one. Ooh,
1:46:00
I'm gonna have to agree with you right there. I think the Raiders
1:46:01
are going to find a way to win. Then next one, we have
1:46:04
the Los Angeles Rams versus the New York Giants in New York. No more
1:46:12
Italian style Rams. Yeah whatever, dude, give me the freaking Rams.
1:46:17
It's only because Tommy DeVito ain't gonna be playing. That's really it, honest.
1:46:21
Yeah, that's that's the only reason. Yeah no, give me the
1:46:25
Rams and winning this one too. Next game we have the Arizona Cardinals versus
1:46:30
the Philadelphia Eagles in Philly. Philadelphia Eagles, many they went to in a
1:46:38
row. Oh man, I really, I think I want to pick Arizona
1:46:45
more because the Cowboys, because if Philly lose loses, then we we could
1:46:49
get the two seed. But no, I think Philly find a way.
1:46:53
No, I think Philly is gonna Mom, don't be shy, No,
1:47:00
no, no, I'm not doing it. Then. The next one we
1:47:03
have is the New Orleans Saints versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa. The
1:47:09
Bake Show. Give me the Bake Show. Yeah no, give me the
1:47:17
bag. Yeah no, I think I think they're gonna win pretty convincingly and
1:47:24
they're gonna wrap up the division early too. So next one we have is
1:47:30
the San Francisco forty nine Ers versus the Washington Commanders. San Francisco forty nine
1:47:38
Ers yeah. No, give me the Niners in this one too. Next
1:47:43
one, we have the Carolina Panthers at the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hm hmm.
1:47:54
Should I go with Thrice Young? That's what I don't go with the Jacksonville
1:47:59
Jaguars. Oh no, hold on, hold on, yeah, because playing
1:48:03
in this game. Oh, give me the Panthers. Give me the Panthers.
1:48:12
If Trevor Lawrence doesn't play, If Trevor Lawrence doesn't that's my exception with
1:48:17
Jaguars, Jaguars, all right, Nah, yeah, give me the give
1:48:24
me the Panthers. Next one, we have what's this game is gonna be
1:48:27
a bunch of implications for the one seed in the AFC. The Miami Dolphins
1:48:31
versus the Baltimore Ravens in Baltimore. Who you got, Josh Baltimore Ravens man.
1:48:42
Yeah, no, I've been high on them the whole year, so
1:48:45
I'm not I'm not backtracking from it. Give me the Baltimore Ravens too.
1:48:49
Next one, we have the last twelve o'clock game. It's the Tennessee Titans
1:48:54
versus the Houston Texans. Give me the Houston Texans. I think say Strode
1:49:02
might come back in this one. Yeah, I think he will. So
1:49:06
yeah, same thing as far as with that one. If Stroud plays,
1:49:11
give me the Texans. If he doesn't, give me Tennessee. But then
1:49:15
all right. Then the start of the four o'clock games, it's a Pittsburgh
1:49:19
Steelers versus the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle. Give me the Seattle Seahawks. Yeah,
1:49:27
give me Seattle right here. Then to start the three twenty five games,
1:49:32
you have the Los Angeles Charges versus the Denver Broncos in Denver. Oh,
1:49:45
give me the Broncos. Let Russ cook, Let Russ cook. They're
1:49:51
gonna dominate this one. I know I keep saying I'm not gonna believe in
1:49:56
the Broncos, but I don't know what it is when it comes to pick
1:49:59
theems. I find a way to pick the Broncos time in and time again.
1:50:00
For real, b for real. The next game we have is the
1:50:06
Cincinnati Bengals versus the Kansas City Chiefs and Burroughhead. Who do you got,
1:50:13
Josh? Oh my gosh, bro, it's gonna be the Kansas City Chiefs
1:50:18
getting back on track in this football game. Josh, you you remember what
1:50:24
I said as far as from last week, I said, win the Bengals
1:50:29
and Chiefs play each other. I'm gonna pick the Bengals. Remember me saying
1:50:31
that, Yeah, yeah, yeah, And I'm standing on that. I'm
1:50:36
standing on that. I'm standing. I think the Bengals are going to win.
1:50:43
Okay, yeah, clip that. Did we win the Super Bowl?
1:50:49
Put that in there. Okay, chill out. We wanted our rebuilding year.
1:50:55
That's what Patrick Mahomes said. Yeah, okay, okay. Then we
1:51:00
have the Sunday night football game. It's the Green Bay Packers at the Minnesota
1:51:04
Vikings or fighting for the last wild card spot right here, man, ah
1:51:13
man, no talkingsin is gonna be tough. Man. I know that's a
1:51:16
big piece, but I'm still gonna go with the Vikings in this one.
1:51:18
Brian Floyd still has that defense playing good. I think I even you'reclusing to
1:51:25
the Lions, man, this one. This one's tough right here. I
1:51:29
honestly, yeah, it is. Give me the Edison too, yeah,
1:51:33
no, give me the give me the Vikings in this one. I think
1:51:36
they're gonna just pull through all right now that we got done with the predictions,
1:51:42
and once again I am going to win and have my first Monday in
1:51:45
game. No, there's it's a college football games. The college football games
1:51:50
is Monday night, so I forgot. So the first Monday or the first
1:51:56
college football game, it's like a five thirty. Then after that, Yeah,
1:52:00
it's the Texas and Washing seven. Yeah, it's like eight thirty or
1:52:03
something like that. Yeah. Yeah, So all right, now that we
1:52:09
got done with the predictions last week, how we did first team All Pro
1:52:14
offense, we're doing first team All Pro defense. So Josh, we'll kind
1:52:19
of do the same thing that we did last week. You'll just list list
1:52:24
yours and then I'll list mine right after. As far as each position,
1:52:30
So, oh, you want to go first or I go first. You
1:52:33
could go first with your defensive line. Okay, we're gonna go all five
1:52:39
or back and forth on each one. We go back and forth on each
1:52:42
one. That'll be easier. Okay, with my first defensive end. There
1:52:45
shouldn't be any debate I think between from anybody. It's gonna be Miles Garrett
1:52:50
for me. He has a ninety three point seven defensive rating, ninety four
1:52:55
point six pass rush rating, fourteen saxon on the season, twenty one tackles
1:52:59
for lost, four four fumbles in fifty two hurries. He is the focal
1:53:02
point of anything Cleveland Browns. He is their guy. He's the number one
1:53:05
player on that team. If he's not hitting people with helmets, he's hitting
1:53:10
people behind the line of scrimmage. That's what he does. That's that's Miles
1:53:14
Garrett and he he's gonna make this first team All Pro. It's much deserved.
1:53:19
I don't think there should be any arguments or anybody here. It's it's
1:53:24
Mangles Garrett. Is there any much Is there anything more to explain? Yeah?
1:53:28
I know, Miles Garrett. That's clear as day, and I feel
1:53:31
like you should agree with this stext one right here. As far as the
1:53:34
other end, it's gonna be Michaeh Parsons. Michaeh Parsons has ninety seven pressures.
1:53:40
The next closes is Nick Bolsa, who has eighty eight fifty three total
1:53:45
tackles, thirteen sacks and another another stat This is just I don't like blaming
1:53:51
the rest for the for the whole stuff. But I don't know if you
1:53:55
know this, Josh. So. There's been thirty eight quarters where Michaeh Parsons
1:53:59
has it drawn drawn a holding call. Thirty eight quarters. Yeah, and
1:54:05
there's been some clear as day holds, Like I could show you a picture
1:54:10
I could find on Twitter really quick. So who's your other defensive end?
1:54:16
I was leaning towards I was looking at Max Cross, but I was looking
1:54:20
at Nick bo so I was looking at TJ. Watt. The closest one
1:54:25
was TJ. Watt to me. But I'm gonna lean towards Michael Parsons as
1:54:28
well. He has a ninety two point seven defensive ratio, ninety four pass
1:54:30
rust rating, which is second behind Miles Garrett. Fifteen sacks, seventeen hit
1:54:34
seventeen quarterback hits in sixty five hurries on the season, which I believe is
1:54:39
in the top three, or I think he might be number one for players
1:54:43
with fifty percent snaps of plate over fifty percent STAPs plate. So yeah,
1:54:47
it's much deserved. He he makes everything happen for others on that Cowboys defensive
1:54:51
line. At times, people will knock him for being non existent, but
1:54:55
he's pretty existent the entire season. He he here's he's He's one of the
1:55:00
guys that you look at and he's like, Yeah, that's that's a blue
1:55:01
chiit prospect. That's the type of guys you have on your team that's gonna
1:55:04
lead you to wins, it's gonna lead you through bowls, it's going to
1:55:06
leave you, lead you to the playoffs. He's one of those people.
1:55:11
That's why Michael Carsons for me, is the other defensive end on my All
1:55:14
Pro team. Yeah, no, I agree with you on that one.
1:55:17
And then we'll go ahead and do our defensive or the interior the defensive tackles.
1:55:26
I guess we'll just list both of them. So for my two,
1:55:29
it's Dexter Lawrence and Quinn Williams, and I feel like defensive tackles, it's
1:55:33
really hard to pull up stats and say, oh, this is a reason
1:55:36
why they're in because defensive tackles outside of Aaron Donald, it's hard for them
1:55:42
to really truly get sacks. And it's just an impact they make just just
1:55:46
watching the football game. It's it's so ridiculous. And this is the reason
1:55:51
these are the two staples for both of their defenses and why there's some of
1:55:56
the better defenses in the league. Okay, so for my two, I
1:56:02
have Aaron Donald and Chris Jones. The consensus usually per year, every year,
1:56:09
and it's going to continue with that for me, Like you said,
1:56:12
the stats don't don't always tell the whole truth. And I understand people may
1:56:16
say, oh, this is a bias pick from the Chris Jones standpoint,
1:56:19
but it's not. I understand. He's not having the best season of his
1:56:21
career. He's not having nowhere near what he's usually doing, but what he's
1:56:26
doing is still best, still the top tier in the NFL. He has
1:56:29
twelve sacks on the season, which defensive tackles don't usually get, but he
1:56:32
has. He has twelve sacks. Last year he had fifteen. He has
1:56:35
two games within the season he might be able to tie that twelve sacks,
1:56:39
fourteen quarterback hits, thirty four hurries. But it's not only what he's doing
1:56:42
by himself, it's what he's doing for others. Right now, George Callout
1:56:46
has has nine sacks on the season. Mike Dana has eight sacks on the
1:56:51
season. He's creating pressures for his teammates. It's sure it's not as much
1:56:55
as it was last year, but he's the focal point. He's the main
1:57:00
guy on that defensive line. He's doing what needs to be done to allow
1:57:04
this team defense to continue to be dominant and as far as Aaron Donald,
1:57:09
there's no more dominant defensive defensive player. And then against an Aaron Donald,
1:57:15
he has a ninety point three defensive rating, which leads I think it's first
1:57:18
or second for all defensive tackles, ninety one point three pressure rating, and
1:57:23
seven sacks, fourteen quarterback hits in fifty seven hurries on the season, which
1:57:27
is pretty high up there for defensive tackles. Yeah, those two, I
1:57:31
understand that they're not the pretty picks, They're not what people may see for
1:57:34
this year, but even this year, they're still, in my opinion,
1:57:39
one and two in the hole in the whole NFL. Well, yeah,
1:57:43
it's really hard to disagree with that. I've I felt like, so,
1:57:46
I know we don't do second teams, but I had them right underneath as
1:57:49
far as my second team, so it's really hard to say, oh no,
1:57:53
well this there, it's real logical there. So as far as for
1:57:58
the linebackers, I think this one's pretty self explanatory right here. I believe
1:58:02
so, so I'll go ahead and give who I think is one of them
1:58:06
I think is a lockout of the two. It's Fred Warner. Fred Warner,
1:58:14
he is the best linebacker in the league one hundred and twenty six total
1:58:16
tackles, two and a half sacks, four forced fumbles, four interceptions,
1:58:20
and then eleven pass deflections and eleven stuffs, which is basically a tackle for
1:58:27
loss, basically a tackle for loss. So this dude, he's just he's
1:58:30
just unstoppable. There's no real weakness in his game. And other than Nick
1:58:35
Bosa, he is. He is that staple on the defensive defensive side.
1:58:41
And honestly, you can have a debate saying Fred Warner is more important than
1:58:45
Nick Bosa on the San Francisco forty nine ers. Okay, so since you
1:58:51
gave that linebacker who I agree with everything you said, and you gave all
1:58:56
the stats and everything, so I'm gonna give the other linebacker I think me
1:58:59
and you both agree with, and that's roll Kwan Smith, the leader of
1:59:01
the Baltimore Ravens. Ever since they have gotten b ro Kwan Smith from the
1:59:06
Chicago Bears last year in a trade, they happened to number one defense statistically
1:59:11
in every single almost every single category. When rol Ron Smith is on the
1:59:14
field. Rold Cown Smith has an eighty two point eighty two point two defensive
1:59:17
rating eighty four point four, coverage ratings seventy seven and a half, rushing
1:59:21
defensive ratings seventy nine point six tackle rating. He he is just bonafide,
1:59:29
consistent, all around pure linebacker, purely could do everything on the field.
1:59:33
Along with one hundred and one tackles on the season, He's just that guy.
1:59:38
He's leader of the Ravens defense and him and Fred Warner are consensus for
1:59:42
me number one and number two defensive linebackers in the in the NFL. And
1:59:45
if I'm gonna give an honorable mention, I think I'm gonna go to to
1:59:47
Mario Davis. I understand, yeah, or him or CJ. Moseley.
1:59:53
I understand that they're not that he's not as flashy as he used to be,
1:59:57
that he doesn't have the same speed that he used to have, But
2:00:00
even at his age, he's still continuing continuing to do what he does.
2:00:04
He has seven sacks on the season, twelve hurries. He has the second
2:00:09
highest linebacker defensive rating with ninety point one. He just gets it done.
2:00:15
You're in and you're out. I just want to give that honorable mention.
2:00:16
He's for sure on my second team. I don't know about you, but
2:00:18
he's on mine. Yeah, No, he was definitely right there on the
2:00:23
second team. And another older guy, CJ. Moseley, he's also balling
2:00:27
two on the Jets. So it's just two old guys that are that are
2:00:32
just dominant, so after plenty of years. But all right, we'll go
2:00:36
ahead and get into DB's which we kind of had a debate with over text.
2:00:43
So I think the one that is going to be the lock here is
2:00:47
Dron Blan and Durron Bland. The pick six is obviously Leeds leads the league
2:00:55
in interceptions with eight fourteen pass deflection seventh in the league. Then you have
2:01:00
forty seven solo tackles sixty two total, and obviously the five pick sixes.
2:01:04
So he's just had a great year. I know he hasn't had a pick
2:01:09
or a pick six these past few weeks, but also he's not getting targeted
2:01:13
as much. If anything, they're picking on Stephan Gilmoe more now and he's
2:01:16
literally changed the entire defense from when Trevon Diggs went out. Ever since Trevon
2:01:25
Diggs or before when Travon Diggs went out, everybody was real concerned as far
2:01:29
as who's gonna be the replacement, and he stepped up as if Travon Diggs
2:01:32
never really left. No, I completely agree. He's also in my first
2:01:39
team. I think when you have historic seasons like this, like it's hard
2:01:43
to ignore, it's hard to argue someone out of it. Much like when
2:01:45
Trayvon Diggs broke the record, got close to the interceptions record, it's much
2:01:51
it's the same here. He has the pick six record, now eight interceptions.
2:01:56
He's been great the entire year, especially in the position that he got
2:01:59
thrown into. He has delivered, and that's he deserves to be First team
2:02:02
All Pro. I'm gonna go with my next one, Jalen Johnson. Jaalen
2:02:08
Johnson. I understand, well, it's not a big name to a lot
2:02:12
of people that are that that aren't that aren't that are casual watchers of the
2:02:16
NFL. But he's been nothing but short of excellent. And in this season
2:02:23
he has ninety point eight defensive rating, which is the highest I think of
2:02:27
all corners, ninety one point one coverage rating. He's only about one hundred
2:02:30
and eighty seven receiving yards on the season and has had four interceptions. He
2:02:34
has a forty nine percent reception rating, which is first to the NFL,
2:02:39
which which is insane for you below. If you have below fifty percent in
2:02:44
the NFL as a cornerback, you're doing something correct. Yep. And he,
2:02:48
I don't know, he's just been balling all year for this Cargo bears.
2:02:50
I understand it's not translating to wins for his team, but he's one
2:02:54
guy and that one guy is balling out. Yeah. No, I thought
2:02:57
we were gonna disagree, but I completely agree with that. Jalen Johnson,
2:03:00
he has been or not. I believe, I believe the best, the
2:03:05
best cornerback in in the league as far as this year, just individually.
2:03:13
So we had an option as far as doing three linebackers or three defensive backs
2:03:20
or three people in the secondary. So I know you did a third dB
2:03:26
right here, right, I did so, So who is your third dB?
2:03:31
A lot of people might disagree, but a lot of people are wrong.
2:03:34
Also, there's he has been the most shut down corner the who has
2:03:40
shadowed the most number one receivers in the NFL since Week two, and that
2:03:44
is lugerious need lagerious need to me has been the most well connect with you,
2:03:47
Tranquil the most important player on this season for the Kansas City Chiefs and
2:03:54
why they have been so dominant. Let me give you this, zero touchdowns
2:03:57
allowed, which is first, three hundred and ninety two yards allowed, which
2:04:00
is third. He has a fifty two point six reception rating which is four,
2:04:05
which is fourth in the NFL. He has sixty three tackles, which
2:04:11
is fifth of all cornerbacks. But that's not it. That's not it.
2:04:15
He has. This is his stats against number one receivers for each team he
2:04:17
has played. Calvin Ridley two for thirty two, DJ Moore one for four,
2:04:24
Garrett Wilson three for twenty four, Justin Jefferson two for fourteen, Courtland
2:04:30
Sutton one for twenty three. A. J. Brown one for four.
2:04:32
DeVante Adams is a lone receiver who has played good against him, and it's
2:04:35
all happened in the first half six for sixty six in a touchdown. Oh
2:04:39
no, no touchdown. He didn't score a touchdown on the Lagarious Need.
2:04:42
He has six for sixty six win lined up against Lagarious Need in that one
2:04:45
game. Yeah, Stefon Diggs one for three, Tyreek Hill, Keenan Allen,
2:04:49
and the latest game with DeVante Adams, zero catches allowed. That is
2:04:53
completely dominant, that is purely shut down. And that's why la Jarious Need
2:04:56
this year has been the best cornerback in the NFL because he has lined up
2:05:00
begins every Number one receiver from start to finish off a football game and dominated.
2:05:04
That's why the Jerious for me to me is first team All Pro.
2:05:08
You can disagree, but this is what I think it should be. Well,
2:05:12
it's it's hard when you put a solid case like that, but I
2:05:15
guess I'm gonna kind of go a little bit biased here with this next one.
2:05:18
So he may not be a actual cornerback, but he's gonna be my
2:05:24
flex spot. I'm putting Kyle Hamilton there. I believe Kyle Hamilton, respect
2:05:30
he is the best safety in the league, but I don't believe he deserves
2:05:32
that safety spot, which we'll get into in a second. But eighty one
2:05:36
total tackles, sixty three solo, three sacks, one forced fumble, four
2:05:41
interceptions, thirteen pass deflections, seven stuffs, there's no weakness to him.
2:05:46
Ever since he came out of the draft, this dude has been solid.
2:05:50
So so yeah, no, this dude is just remarkable and Rokwan Smith.
2:05:56
He manages the front half Kyle Hamilton, he manages the back seven. That's
2:06:00
that's how it goes. And but not only that, but not only that,
2:06:04
he makes things happen at the line of scrimmage. I believe he leads
2:06:09
all safeties with sacks. I think I think he has seven on the season.
2:06:13
Let me let me double let me double fact check that. Yeah,
2:06:15
I think I might be correct. Oh he has three. I don't know.
2:06:19
Oh, never mind, I got I got the people mixed up,
2:06:21
I think. But no, he he creates a lot of pressures. He
2:06:26
plays along with the linebackers. He plays deep, he plays the man up
2:06:30
against people. He's he's tall, lanky, he gets the job done.
2:06:33
He's he's a pure football player. If you ask me, I'm not gonna
2:06:36
label him a safet. I'm not gon label him a linebacker. He does
2:06:40
it all. He's a good, great player, And I'm not mad that
2:06:43
you put him in your first team. Yeah, well, all right,
2:06:46
who do you have for your safeties? Or you can list one of your
2:06:49
safeties for now. My first safety I think should be in everyone's first team
2:06:55
All Pro after the season he has had and it's gonna be Antoine Wilf Winfield
2:06:58
Junior for the Tempa Buccaneers. He has the number one safety rating with ninety
2:07:02
one point four, a ninety one point four defensive rating, ninety two point
2:07:06
five rush defensive rating, eighty three point one tackle rating, and a ninety
2:07:10
two point eight pressure rating, and eighty six point two in coverage. Does
2:07:14
that sound consistent to anybody? It does to me, Becauls he's nothing but
2:07:17
year in and year out, he has five stacks on the season, two
2:07:20
quarterback hits, ten hurries, eighty tackles, five forced fumbles, three interceptions,
2:07:26
and seven pass breakups. And that's not putting stats on the board.
2:07:29
I don't know what it is. That's that's he has done it all.
2:07:31
He's the leader of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense. Sure they are getting older,
2:07:34
Lavonte David Devin White videveya. They're all getting older, but they're still
2:07:40
there's still a top one of the top defenses in the NFL in my opinion,
2:07:43
at least top fifteen, at least top at least top twelve in my
2:07:45
opinion, there and an twin Winfields junior has taken hold of the leader of
2:07:49
that whole thing and he's just purely balling this year. Yeah, No,
2:07:54
I one hundred percent agree with that one. If there's any lock in in
2:07:59
the second outside of Dron Blanet, it's definitely him. But for this next
2:08:03
one, I kind of had a tough time. Honorable mention. I want
2:08:07
to put Javon Holland that's he's been having a great year. The stats state
2:08:09
don't match it, but I think he's been having a really good year.
2:08:13
But I think it has to be. It has to be Jesse Bates here.
2:08:16
One hundred and seventeen total tackles, seventy six solo, forty one assists,
2:08:22
three forced fumbles, six interceptions, eleven pass deflections, five and a
2:08:24
half stuffs. This Atlanta Falcons defense last year was not that good. Gave
2:08:31
him a big contract and they wanted him to make things happen, and he
2:08:33
has made things happen. This may not be a great defense, but last
2:08:39
year went from a bad defense to an average defense just by a few pieces
2:08:43
and having Jesse Bates back there, he is an absolute game changer. And
2:08:46
yeah, he just had a great season. Agreed. Jesse Bates is my
2:08:52
other safety. Also, he has done been nothing short of spectacular. He's
2:08:56
worth every bit at the Falcons gave him in free agency. I'm sure the
2:09:00
Bengals are missing him quite a bit right now. So Yep, Jesse Base,
2:09:03
Jesse Base. The third is much deserved and honestly, there's there's there's
2:09:09
no debate for me there because he's online. Also, I just want to
2:09:11
give some honorable mentions also before we move on saws Garner. Saws Garner,
2:09:18
I understand the only reason he didn't get the nod for me because what he
2:09:20
does, he only plays on one side of the field. He doesn't leave
2:09:24
his spot ever. But he's nothing short of spectacular. He he's continued to
2:09:30
have a great year. He's every bit worth of an argument of the best
2:09:33
corner in the NFL. I just believe these guys have had such outstanding seasons
2:09:37
that that's why he's gonna be on the second team for me, But second
2:09:41
team All Pro in your second season, while being first team your first season,
2:09:45
I believe he was first team. Yeah, nothing short, nothing short
2:09:48
of on track to being the best cornerback in the NFL. Trent McDuffie for
2:09:54
me, was also an honorable mention. I understand this may be a bias
2:09:58
pick, but he does everything. Everything you want a cornerback to do,
2:10:01
he does it. He blitzes, he has three sacks, fly force fumbles,
2:10:05
two touchdowns, seven quarterback hits. He just gets the job done.
2:10:09
Probably the best pure tackling cornerback in the NFL is Trent McDuffie. And that's
2:10:15
surprising because he is only five foot ten. He is only five foot ten,
2:10:18
but he he hits with anger. He pops the ball out. He
2:10:22
also guards the slot corner exclusively. There's no better nickel cornerback in the NFL.
2:10:26
He follows the slot corner, your tight end all the way across the
2:10:31
field. He's stingy and that's why he's also my honorable mention. And honorable
2:10:35
mention is Max Crosby, TJ. Watt, and Nick Holsa. These guys
2:10:39
are nothing but consistent game in and game out. But I have Max Crosby
2:10:43
on the cusps more than the others because he has played one hundred percent of
2:10:50
the snaps pretty much every single game that he has played. That's through injury,
2:10:52
that's through all that. He's been the leader of the of that Raiders
2:10:56
defense. And I don't know he's nothing so spectacular, isn't. Yeah.
2:11:01
No, all of those guys that you mentioned, they've all been having a
2:11:05
great year and it's it's hard to put these guys over them, but at
2:11:07
the end of the day, there's only a few spots of available, but
2:11:11
they'll definitely be making the second team. So I'll or you go ahead and
2:11:16
list your entire first team all defense so you get a quick recap. Miles
2:11:22
Garrett defensive end, Aaron Donald defensive tackle, Chris Jones defensive tackle, MICHAEH.
2:11:28
Parsons defensive end, Frederick Warner, ro Qwan Smith linebackers, Lugerious Need,
2:11:33
Deron Bland, Jalen Johnson cornerbacks, and Twine Winfield junior Jesse bas the
2:11:39
third safeties. So for mine, I have Dexter Lawrence and Quinn Williams for
2:11:45
my defensive tackles. Then my defensive ends, I have Miles Garrett and Mikah
2:11:48
Parsons linebackers exactly the same, Rowan Smith and Frederic O. Warner, and
2:11:54
then Deron Bland Jalen Johnson for my dbs. Then for my flex spot,
2:12:00
I have Kyle Hamilton, then also once again a Green, Antoine Winfield and
2:12:05
Jesse Bates for the secondary. Is there anything else you wanted to take away
2:12:09
before we get into the last part of the show. No, this is
2:12:16
all. These guys have been great and even the honorable mentioned. So yeah,
2:12:20
if any of these guys make it, I won't be mad. Yeah,
2:12:24
it's hard to be mad if they don't. But let's go ahead and
2:12:28
get into our so called MVPs of the week, because we got some Q
2:12:31
and a's this week. So like we do every single week, we always
2:12:35
have our so called MVPs of the week, and we only pick one player,
2:12:41
Josh, who is your so called MVP of the week? Not even
2:12:46
gonna lie. I was so busy making this all pro list, I didn't
2:12:48
even pick my so called MVP of the week. So you can go first
2:12:50
and I'll get back to you. Okay, Well, I totally forgot about
2:12:56
my soul called MVP. Oh no, easy, got it. I'll take
2:13:01
years before you do it. Mariy Cooper eleven for two sixty five two touchdowns,
2:13:05
So I'll just steal him, steal him away from you, because like
2:13:09
the Brown stole him for a fifth round pick from y'all. So yeah,
2:13:13
mari Cooper eleven sixty five two touchdowns. Ever since he got Joe Flacco,
2:13:18
he's been unlocked, he's been unleashed, and he's been playing amazing. Yeah.
2:13:24
Yeah, no, he definitely has, but as much so. He
2:13:28
was gonna be my first pick. But you know how I always have multiple
2:13:33
just in case. There's always some that gets stolen. So how I was
2:13:37
joking about the Ravens defense being the MVPs of the week. They they're gonna
2:13:43
be the honorable mention. They're gonna be the honorable mention for me because five
2:13:48
interceptions, four sacks, eleven pass deflections, five tackle for losses against the
2:13:52
best offense in the NFL or the best team rolling you shut them down like
2:13:58
that. That's ridiculous. But I got to give it to the man,
2:14:01
the myth, the legend, mister Breist Hall carrying me in Fantasy football twenty
2:14:05
for ninety five two touchdowns on the ground, twelve catches, ninety six yards
2:14:09
receiving one hundred and ninety one total yards, two touchdowns. That dude's ballin,
2:14:15
has no quarterback, no offensive line, and he's like, Nah,
2:14:16
I don't need that. Just give me the rock. Just give me the
2:14:20
rock and I'll make things happen, and that's exactly what he's doing. And
2:14:24
he's my so called MVP of the week. I got, I got a
2:14:30
little bit hyped up there. He needs to hear that motivation before before next
2:14:37
week's next week's game, so he could give a two hundred rushing yard performance
2:14:41
or something. But all right, so we got some Q and a's,
2:14:46
and I'll go ahead and start it off with this one as of this season.
2:14:52
Who's the top five quarterbacks right now as of this season. So that's
2:14:58
not that, that's not nothing past like, no accolades, no nothing,
2:15:03
just purely based off of this season. Number one, I'm going to have
2:15:11
to go with Lamar Jackson. Lamar Jackson, he's been doing it all he's
2:15:18
been rushing, he's been he's there's been some games where he hasn't shown up,
2:15:22
I understand, but or not shown up, but hasn't played his best.
2:15:26
But he's Without Lamar Jackson, this Ravens team is nothing. I really
2:15:31
believe that he's leading. He's always gonna do it with his legs. He's
2:15:35
passed. He's passing the ball. Not amazing, not like where it's gonna
2:15:39
be like, oh dang. Like he's tearing it apart. But he's doing
2:15:43
Lamar Jackson things on the ground, so his run doesn't have to be that,
2:15:46
his pass doesn't have to be that insane. So he's number one for
2:15:50
me this year. Number two, I'm gonna go with Crap. I'll go
2:16:00
Dak Prescott. Dak Prescott is the number two for me. I he had
2:16:03
that strong two months. He's even playing strong right now, just come back
2:16:07
down to earth a little bit with some rough games between the whole team as
2:16:09
a whole. So he's been number two for me. Putting up numbers,
2:16:13
it's really him getting the ball down the field, pushing it, making his
2:16:18
own decisions, this time playing with some mocks. He playing with some aggressiveness.
2:16:22
Number three, I'm gonna give it to him, even though I hate
2:16:22
him. I'm gonna go with Rock Party. You can be the best game
2:16:26
manager in the world and get the job done, and that's what he's doing.
2:16:28
And when it comes to losses though, he's really doesn't know how to
2:16:33
play from behind, so unless his team's ahead, he he If his team's
2:16:35
ahead, he plays magnificent and he when he has done that, he has
2:16:39
looked amazing. So he's number three for me. Number four, I'm going
2:16:46
to have to go with crap I was on prepared for this question. I
2:16:52
don't know. There's Stroud, There's there's potentially Jared Golf, There's Josh Allen.
2:17:03
I don't know. It was it was a tough it's a tough question.
2:17:07
There's Matt Stafford as well, he's had a good, good ending.
2:17:13
There's been uh Man, It's it's really tough. Uh Russell, Wilson Holmes.
2:17:20
Uh yeah. Number four, I'm gonna go with, honestly, Matthew
2:17:26
Stafford in my opinion, or no. If I'm gonna put Rock Pretty up
2:17:31
there, I'm gonna have to put two up there. Tua. Yeah,
2:17:35
because I understand Tua has Tyreek, has Dalen Wadell, but he's in the
2:17:39
same be as Rock Pretty and he's leading his team to wins. They're the
2:17:43
number one there. I think, believe, still believe the number one offense
2:17:45
in the NFL putting up all the numbers that they do, and without Tua
2:17:48
it doesn't look the same. I know that he's he's one of the most
2:17:52
accurate quarterbacks in the NFL. He doesn't he doesn't have the arm strength the
2:17:56
lower but he has enough to get the ball where it needs to be.
2:17:58
And that's Y two has been. Number is number four for me and number
2:18:01
five. People are gonna hit it. But I'm gonna go with Patrick Mahomes
2:18:03
with what he's had to deal with. I got. I sent you the
2:18:05
tweet after regardless part in this game, which is the only game that I
2:18:09
truly believe in my heart of hearts, what's his only bad game of this
2:18:13
season? This the rest of the season. Let me show you, Let
2:18:16
me give you all this outside of this game. I don't know where the
2:18:20
stats up, the rank up before this, after this, after all this
2:18:26
week. Let me see if I can find the screenshot where I cooked a
2:18:31
guy earlier this week. Well, okay, Mahomes. Mahomes first in total
2:18:37
yards. I believe he's still first in total yards fourth, and passing yards
2:18:43
fourth and touchdowns fourth and QBR has the fifth highest completioning bersinage on the on
2:18:48
on on the second most attempts, all while his team leads the NFL with
2:18:50
thirty seven drops. No other quarterback could do this with this group of receivers.
2:18:54
And I believe that, I truly believe that, even after this bad
2:18:56
game, I believe it was also an untrusting game. The whole offense as
2:19:01
a whole play terrible. But Mahomes has been is the fifth best quarterback in
2:19:03
the NFL in my opinion. I still believe he's the number one quarterback,
2:19:07
but I had to take give an on bias take in this opinion. So
2:19:09
I'm putting him at five, And honestly, I don't think anyone could argue
2:19:13
with me, because I will sit here and argue with you all day.
2:19:16
Well, yeah, definitely Mahomes. He he will be in there. I'd
2:19:20
probably have him at four, so i'd have Stroud or no, no,
2:19:24
let me double check. Okay, no, let me let me start from
2:19:26
one, because that'd be easier. I have dak To. I'd have dak
2:19:31
To uh number three. I'd have to put CJ. Stroud there because he's
2:19:37
had he's had a great year. Then I'd have to I'd have to say,
2:19:43
I'd have to say, I feel like as much as Lamar, he
2:19:48
is the MVP front runner right now. If we're just going based off a
2:19:54
purely purely quarterback, I'd have to put rock Party in Mahomes and then Lamar
2:19:58
b six. I'd have to I'd have to it's not again, I don't
2:20:07
know if you're going for me, I don't know. I still think okay,
2:20:13
I still think he is the second best quarterback. If if it's like
2:20:18
nothing like unbiased adelades and everything, Okay, I accolated with everything, So
2:20:26
okay, So okay, do you think that's more predicated to his defense that
2:20:31
you're putting him that low, because yeah, we're doing pretty, Okay,
2:20:37
we're doing that. Shouldn't brought pretty to be lower. But his stats are
2:20:39
there. His stats are there then, but so is Lamar is on the
2:20:45
ground. Lamar doesn't have to throw the ball like he's so dynamic rushing the
2:20:48
ball. He's probably gonna get close to one thousand again this year rushing the
2:20:52
football. Yeah, I know that. But as far as because even total
2:20:58
touchdowns, Brock Purdy has thirty compared to Lamar's twenty two to twenty three.
2:21:01
So there's a big gap there. I'm not saying. I'm don't get this
2:21:07
out of context. Lamar Jackson is clearly a better quarterback than Brock Purdy,
2:21:11
but it's just as far as the stats they have been this year that that's
2:21:16
my that's my only argument right there. I'm not going based off of the
2:21:20
team's better, who's better, just purely off of stats. That's what I'm
2:21:24
going based off of. Okay, right, all right, we can disagree,
2:21:31
Yeah, but all right, this next one that we have, who
2:21:35
is the offensive Rookie of the year, Puka Nakula or c J. Stroud?
2:21:41
For me, I'm going with Nakua. And here's why. C J.
2:21:45
Stroud missing these last two games, last three games, I believe I've
2:21:48
heard two or three has hurt him. It's hurt him quite a bit because
2:21:52
the team is winning without him. I understand that that he's He's way better
2:21:58
than case Keenan David, don't get me wrong right here, but they're still
2:22:01
winning, and I think that's kind of gonna hurt him a little bit.
2:22:05
But Puku nakua historic season just cannot go overlooked. I will. I don't
2:22:11
think it should because too many times quarterbacks get these awards over over these skilled
2:22:16
players. And I believe this is a Rookie of the Year award should be
2:22:20
predicated on a rookie's performance, not if the team is winning, kind of
2:22:22
like how I see it in the NBA. Not if the team is winning.
2:22:26
It should be the rookies performance and what rookie is performing better than Puku
2:22:30
Nakua, None, zero, not a zip. He has won. He
2:22:35
has ninety six receptions for one hundred and for one three hundred and twenty seven
2:22:39
receiving yards and five touchdowns. He has one hundred and forty seven yards away
2:22:41
from Bill Romans record which was set in nineteen sixty and he has nine catches
2:22:48
away from Waddle which was set two years ago. That he's on pace to
2:22:52
do historic things and I believe he should be the offensive rookie of the year.
2:22:56
Don't get me wrong, Strout has been magnificent, but these that injury,
2:23:01
the injuries and missing the last couple of games has hurt him. And
2:23:03
Pukunakua has done nothing but but be consistent the entire season. Yeah, it's
2:23:11
man, that that's tough right there, because I completely understand what you're what
2:23:15
you're saying right there, but I must still have to lean towards c.
2:23:18
J. Stroud. And the reason why that is because if he plays these
2:23:22
last two games right here, and not necessarily that he has a magnificent last
2:23:26
two games, but if he just has good games, and I think it's
2:23:30
gonna be pretty much locked up. He's been out two games and he's still
2:23:33
tenth in the league in passing yards three and thirty one yards, twenty touchdowns,
2:23:37
five interceptions. It's just it's just ridiculous what they're doing. And as
2:23:43
much as it it shouldn't be QB or wins is a QB stat And the
2:23:50
more they win, the more favorite c J. Stroud. If they make
2:23:52
the playoffs, like I said, it's gonna lock it up for him.
2:23:54
So as of right now, but say if c J. Stroud has a
2:23:58
bad game and Pooka Nukula just keeps doing what he's doing, then I think
2:24:03
Poka Nukoula he he will win Offensive Rookie of the Year. I don't know
2:24:09
he's gonna set two rookie records in one season. It sucks that he'll lose.
2:24:13
You know, well, what was the last one? It was Justin
2:24:18
Herbert and Justin Jefferson right in which Jefferson had a Justin yeah, and look,
2:24:26
Justin Herbert still won it. And so that's what I'm That's what I'm
2:24:31
saying. It's it's purely a QB QB award. That's what it's turned into.
2:24:37
I don't like it. That's what I really think they should do.
2:24:41
Like we talked about, they should have the best Rookie QB and the Best
2:24:46
Quarterback award instead of calling it m VP. I know, I know,
2:24:50
we talked about it earlier in text message, and I'm gonna get into it.
2:24:54
I understand with the Dak and Zeke situation, it could have gone either
2:24:58
way. Either one of them could have won MVP. If you really want
2:25:01
to sit here, yeah, look at it. Their their rookie seasons.
2:25:05
But Zeke rushed for over sixteen hundred yards, almost had I think he went
2:25:11
over or got close to two thousand scrimmage in two thousand overall yards, and
2:25:16
then he had like I think, like a lot of touchdown Like I don't
2:25:20
know. That was a season where I think Zeke should have won it over
2:25:24
Dak Prescott in my opinion. I know Dak Prescott had a magnificent rookie year,
2:25:28
but Zeke. Zeke to me at that time was the Cowboys for when
2:25:33
he was in his prime. Was the Cowboys entire offense. Yeah, I
2:25:39
know, I know what you mean. The the offense it did run through
2:25:43
Ezekiel Elliott in twenty sixteen, but it's it's it's real tough if it's gonna
2:25:50
be something close like that, kind of like how this is this year.
2:25:54
It's just it's just it happened to be on the same exact team. That's
2:25:58
a big different from Sarah. And honestly, I think this is kind of
2:26:03
a hot take here. If if Ezekiel Ellie or Dak Prescott went on weren't
2:26:07
on the same team, they would have won MVP and put up the same
2:26:09
stats because Matt Ryan twenty sixteen. Oh, you're saying they would have won
2:26:16
MVP. Yeah, I feel like they would have because you finished heavy question
2:26:24
here? Is that the same without z because we get into this a lot
2:26:28
rookie quarterbacks. Yeah, with great running backs equals good you know. So
2:26:35
if Dak doesn't have Zeke at the peak of Zeke's like because he's like a
2:26:45
consistent good yeah year, I know that. Yeah, Like, if he
2:26:48
doesn't have Zeke, does he still do the same things. I believe Zeke
2:26:52
goes somewhere else doesn't have the same production because I don't think any team would
2:26:56
be dumb enough to give him the ball four hundred times a season, but
2:27:01
the Cowboys did. But I think Zeke still is the same production even with
2:27:07
less carries. But I don't know if Dak is the same quarterback without Zeke,
2:27:11
because who would be his his running back at that time? Would it
2:27:15
have been? Was it Dunbar Randall? Was Alfred Alfred Morris? Oh yeah?
2:27:24
Those No Alfred Morris. He signed in the offseason offseason that following year
2:27:28
because the whole Zeke Pinnion suspension thing, So it would have been it would
2:27:33
have been Lance Dunbar. But also that means we would draft a running back
2:27:37
in the second round or whatever or something like that. So I don't know
2:27:43
if you know this, but that was big talks about the Cowboys. The
2:27:48
Cowboys that year drafting Jalen Ramsey in the first round then drafting Derek Henry in
2:27:52
the second round. So true. So yeah, I feel like you couldn't
2:27:58
have gone wrong either way then, But I'm talking about as far as if
2:28:01
they put up the exact same stats. Damn. I honestly I was.
2:28:11
I'm gonna be real here, I was. I was the one rooting for
2:28:13
Jalen Ramsey to go to the Cowboys. But also I am a Florida State
2:28:18
fan, so I was kind of biased. There, But also I saw
2:28:22
Day and then Dak Henry Dak. That would have been draft class insane.
2:28:30
Yeah, yeah, yeah, no it it. It was still a damn
2:28:35
good draft class because you've got two franchise changing players, but still it could
2:28:41
have been even better. But all right, next question, will Tua become
2:28:45
the MVP favorite if he beats the Ravens next week? No, Tyreek Hill.
2:28:52
I'm gonna put it right there. Tyrek Hill is the MVP most like
2:28:54
Christian McCaffrey is the MVP. Those two, to me should be the front
2:28:58
runners. And even if to wins next week, Tyre betchy, Tyreek has
2:29:01
a big game if they win next week. So Tyrek Hill is the MVP
2:29:07
if the if the Dolphins win next week. Okay, so I'm just giving
2:29:11
you a hypothetical here, So say Tyrek, like you said, he still
2:29:16
does have a good game, but it's like seven catches one hundred and twenty
2:29:22
yards a touchdown. But to what goes on to have a three hundred yard
2:29:26
game three touchdowns? So are you still giving to Tyreek there or your favorite
2:29:33
towards two? Because the model the model was broken, but it's but literally
2:29:41
it's so yeah, if Tyreek continues the dominance he's had all season. It
2:29:48
doesn't I believe it doesn't matter who the quarterback is, Tyreek's gonna get his
2:29:52
and Tyreek, in my opinion, is the reason why this offense is so
2:29:54
dynamic, because when you have a player, when you center on one player
2:30:00
and it's it's him, you know what I'm saying, Like like he he
2:30:03
is the offense. He is what makes it go around. I understand they
2:30:07
had that big game with Jaln Wattle the other week, but yeah, instently
2:30:11
throughout the season, Jalen Wattle has has hasn't been the same as he was
2:30:15
the last two seasons. Tyreek's been taking over, you know. And it's
2:30:20
not like they're looking for other people because if you watch the games, Tyreek
2:30:24
Hill is running motions and they're not even stopping his motion and they're snapping,
2:30:30
so he's open no matter what. Like it's they're getting the ball to Tyreek.
2:30:33
They're not having Tua really dictate the game. It's getting the ball to
2:30:37
Tyreek Hill. Yeah, yeah, no, Tyreek Hill. He man again,
2:30:46
this goes back. We're gonna do that. Raheem Moster for me,
2:30:48
Raheem Moster, I don't know if he scored this week, but he has
2:30:52
twenty total touchdowns on the season, and eighteen of them have been on the
2:30:54
ground, so or like sixteen or something like that had he had one receiving,
2:31:00
So I guess that's yeah, twenty one touchdowns in Yeah, but I
2:31:07
don't know, I'd still have I'd still give it to Tua because Tua he's
2:31:11
been up there as far as one of the favorites, and I feel like
2:31:13
Tyreek's only case would be to crack that two thousand yards and unless he gets
2:31:20
like four hundred yards right here because or what he needs like three fifty something
2:31:26
like that. If I'm not mistaken, if he gets like two fifty right
2:31:31
here, then then yeah, okay, then maybe he's gonna be the MVP
2:31:35
front runner right there. But unless he doesn't, if he doesn't crack two
2:31:39
thousand, then it's gonna go to Tua. If they end up beating the
2:31:41
Ravens this week. I just feel like that's that's just obvious right there.
2:31:48
But all right, uh, this next question right here, how high is
2:31:54
too high on the all time list for Mike Evans as far as all time
2:31:58
wide receivers. Okay, so earlier today, I was talking about out the
2:32:05
barbershop. Okay, so I got ahead of myself and said ten. I
2:32:11
for like, ten is a good spot for him, and I still do
2:32:15
think. I do think people could argue that, like if you could sit
2:32:18
here and make a complete argument, because he has been nothing but consistent.
2:32:22
Most consecutive one thousand yard seasons for a receiver or up there, ten consecutive
2:32:28
received one thousand yard receiving He he has seven or fifty six receptions ninety four
2:32:35
touchdowns. He needs six more to crack the one hundred club, which he'll
2:32:37
be twenty seven thirty fourth all time and receiving yards, and he's forty fifth
2:32:41
in receptions. But he's also one of five players to have five plus seasons
2:32:46
of twelve plus touchdowns with Jerry Rice, Tarol Owens, Randy Moss, and
2:32:50
Marvin Harrison Junior. So like he has a case to be considered one of
2:32:54
the greatest receivers of all time. And he's only thirty years old, so
2:32:56
he still has a lot of time left. He can move up the ranks
2:32:58
pretty fast. But honestly, I said to put him in the top fifteen
2:33:05
top fifteen range in my opinion because honestly, if we look at a lot
2:33:09
of people on that list, I can sit here and be like, I'll
2:33:13
take my gibbons over that guy in my opinion, like Larry FitzGeralds. People
2:33:16
can make the argument, but I don't think it's extremely different. Think it's
2:33:22
a long jevity stat it's a longevity. Yeah, I think. Yeah,
2:33:28
that's what I'm saying. Like if you if we were to put up talent
2:33:30
on talent, I don't know it'd be an argument. Yeah, yeah,
2:33:35
No, it definitely is an argument because I feel like the for sure ones
2:33:39
is Megatron, Jerry Rice, Randy Moss, to O, Julio Jones.
2:33:46
What that's five right there? Right, that's five. Then after that that's
2:33:54
kind of I feel like there's kind of a preference. Unless I'm missing somebody.
2:33:58
I'm trying to think Antonio Brown. Antonio Brown, Yeah, he's up
2:34:03
there. Did you Sayvin but you give up when you were giving your five?
2:34:07
So I didn't hear your five? Oh yeah, I said Megatron,
2:34:09
So yeah, Megatron, Julio Jones, t O, Randy Moss, Jerry
2:34:13
Rice, those five, Antonio Brown, that's six. But again, it's
2:34:16
like, are you talking about all time, Like, are you talking about
2:34:20
peak as if you're talking peak? Okay, I guess I'm taking into Yeah,
2:34:26
I'm talking yeah all time peak. I'm taking Antonio Brown. He's better
2:34:31
than any wide receiver peak for peak for peak. I think maybe you can
2:34:35
argue, but yeah, okay, okay, hear me out. Okay,
2:34:43
we're gonna get into a debates right now, dude. Oh my yeah,
2:34:46
I know better. Oh I'm gonna say it, Do I do? I
2:34:50
say it? Say it. Tyrek Hill better peer receiver than Randy Moss,
2:34:56
in my opinion, did not run across the middle. He did not run
2:35:01
underneath. He did not He ran nothing but verticals, nothing but verticals and
2:35:05
out routes all that. But you couldn't stop him. You couldn't stop him.
2:35:11
But can you stop Tyreek? No you can't. No, that's what
2:35:15
Okay, okay, okay, but I don't feel like that's Yeah, if
2:35:24
we're talking all the time, Moss is above, so peak for peak,
2:35:28
you're taking Tyreek over Randy. Ah, it's close, it's close, but
2:35:35
Tyreek Randy Moss doesn't run the full route tree. But okay, that that's
2:35:43
the word. It's like you know it's going to be an out route or
2:35:46
a go route, and you still can't stop it. Yeah, you know
2:35:50
what I mean? Uh, Tyreek, you can line up three people,
2:35:54
but they're still not going to catch him. To keep up with him.
2:35:58
You can arguing, well, these are the greatest players of all times,
2:36:05
literally the greatest players. But I don't feel like that's a statement. Like
2:36:11
I think, much like t O, much like t O, no matter
2:36:16
and Randy Moss, no matter where they went who quarterback they played with,
2:36:18
they were still dominant, they were still dominant players. And they're still top
2:36:26
three in every statistical category. Yeah, I don't know, like Mike Evans
2:36:33
is an our peer argument standpoint, because if you really sit here and argue
2:36:35
with me, if uh, because we're gonna get into another art freaking debate
2:36:41
about nineties players and two thousands players. But but Mike Evans is him,
2:36:46
Like Mike Evans has been nothing sort of consistent his entire career and the barring
2:36:50
injury, which is why, Okay, Michael Irvin great receiver, but injuries
2:36:56
caught up to him. Mike Evans hasn't got caught up with injuries. So
2:36:58
all time shot and Mike Evans will yeah, oh Sterling Shark great for like
2:37:03
three four seasons, five seasons. Injuries caught up to these guys. Yeah,
2:37:09
injuries caught up to these guys. Mike Evans is gonna have the longevity
2:37:13
I believe if he continues to if he chooses to keep playing, you know,
2:37:18
yeah, uh huh yeah. Oh. I'm looking at Jerry Rice's stats
2:37:24
right now, and it's like, let me see if we're gonna say,
2:37:28
you're talking about longevity, longevity is insane for Jerry Rice. He played for
2:37:33
like twenty two years or something like that. At thirteen, I think I
2:37:35
might be in twenty two. But he played for a long time. So
2:37:41
he had fourteen one thousand yard seasons. That's yeah, it was ridiculous.
2:37:46
So yeah, he played from eighty eighty five to two thousand and four.
2:37:52
That that's ridiculous. So he played. See this is where we debate where
2:37:58
we debate tight ends also with the same thing, because people will say Tony
2:38:01
Gonzalez is the greatest tight end, but his longevity was crazy. You know,
2:38:05
that's really But when Travis Kelsey is just the most receiving yards per game,
2:38:09
most one thousand yard seasons in a row, it'd be the same argument
2:38:13
for Mike Evans. You know what I'm saying. I forgot to tell you,
2:38:16
but somebody he said, he said, how could he be a Chiefs
2:38:20
fan when when he doesn't think Tony Gonzalez is the greatest Chiefs tight end ever
2:38:26
and I think Travis he's period, he's not. Because we're gonna look at
2:38:33
Travis kelce came out when he was like twenty five years old because he was
2:38:37
suspended one season. He moved switched from tight end to quarterback. He switched
2:38:41
from quarterback to tight end, so he didn't get to come out at the
2:38:45
age of twenty two, twenty twenty three. He came out like twenty five
2:38:48
years old. So the reason he's only played nine seasons in the NFL and
2:38:52
he missed one season off of injury because of injury, so really we can
2:38:58
wrap up his rookie seat. He has been the focal point of the Chiefs
2:39:01
and he's part of two Super Bowls for the Kansas City Chiefs, the main
2:39:05
receiver of two Super Bowls for the Kansasy. I get Tyreek was there,
2:39:09
but Travis Kelcey is the reason why they There's one reason why Travis Kelcey is
2:39:13
still here and Tyreek Hill isn't. Because Travis Kelce is the most dominant tight
2:39:16
end in the NFL. When it comes to receiving. People will knock his
2:39:18
blocking, but he's also a good blocker. He's not a great blocker,
2:39:22
but he's a good blocker. Plus, he has eight consecutive or one thousand
2:39:28
yard seasons, most receiving yards per game of uh for a for a tight
2:39:33
end, and I think he had he has the most. He's getting close
2:39:37
to he won't. I think it'll be hard at catching Tonio Gates because again
2:39:41
longevity, but yeah, he's I think he averages the most touchdowns per season.
2:39:46
He went up there likes he's better than Tony Gonzalez in my opinion,
2:39:50
Tony Gonzalez played for a long time and for two different teams. You know,
2:39:54
Yeah, the per game stats do not compare. Yeah, I think.
2:40:00
I think what most people try to do, they try to do the
2:40:03
longevity. But I think when you're trying to say who's better, you gotta
2:40:07
go peak for peak. That that's what you gotta say. If you're saying
2:40:11
all time, that's a longevity, peak for peak or who's better. Travis
2:40:16
Kelsey he's better, not credently, but and if we're talking about peak for
2:40:20
peak, consistently in an era where there's passing yard people leading with passing yards,
2:40:28
like passing is at all time high, Travis Kelce is consistently, in
2:40:31
most of the time, consistently in the top five of receiving yards every single
2:40:35
season. Yeah, he is with all these even on the other side.
2:40:41
Yeah, it's true, and it's it's hard for me to disagree with that.
2:40:46
So but yeah, no, all I always stand by Yeah, I
2:40:52
know Antonio Brown as far as peak for peak, best wide receiver ever ever,
2:40:58
peak for peak, there's no. I don't think there should be a
2:41:01
debate. And I don't know, like, let's bring up the stats.
2:41:03
I don't know we're gonna have to bring the stats because someone's gonna sit here,
2:41:07
yeah and say you're just taking Brown, you're making up stats or whatever.
2:41:13
But no, what he did. I think it was a three four
2:41:16
year span. He was clearly like, I'm not even trying to get fantasy
2:41:20
football wise, but it got to the point there's oh no, this was
2:41:24
one, two, three, four, five, six years. Okay,
2:41:26
let me let me let me say this. Okay, receptions one hundred ten,
2:41:33
one, twenty nine, one thirty six, one oh six, one
2:41:37
oh one, one oh four, okay, okay, And then so we're
2:41:41
gonna get into his yards one thousand, four hundred ninety nine, one thousand,
2:41:46
six hundred ninety eight, one thousand, eight hundred thirty four, one
2:41:48
thousand, two hundred eighty four, one thousand, five hundred thirty three,
2:41:50
one thousand, two hundred ninety seven touchdowns eight thirteen, ten, twelve,
2:41:56
nine, fifteen. I don't know how you can argue with that. You
2:42:00
can't. The only other person you could argue is Jerry Rice when he had
2:42:03
that twenty two touches now year or Calvin Johnson's peak Calvin Johnson, Yeah,
2:42:11
even he didn't even score touchdowns like that. Yeah, that was all receiving
2:42:16
yards. So man, this this is tough. Oh no, Calvin Johnson.
2:42:24
Calvin Johnson thirteen thirty one, eleven, twenty, sixteen eighty one,
2:42:28
nineteen sixty okay, nineteen, the nineteen sixty four year, fourteen ninety two,
2:42:35
one thousand, seventy seven, one thousand two, Okay, that's debatable.
2:42:37
Debatable? Is Calvin Johnson Antonio Brown best peaks all time twelve five twelve,
2:42:43
sixteen, five, twelve eight nine for touchdowns receptions. Oh but but
2:42:48
Calvin Johnson didn't unless receptions every single year, So I don't know. It's
2:42:54
Calvin Johnson Antonio Brown for me. Yeah, yeah, it's gotta it's gotta
2:42:56
be one of those two. And I know this is off topic, but
2:43:01
other than Cooper Cup and Calvin Johnson, yere hoo, do you thinks had
2:43:05
the best as far as wide receiver season out there? Because obviously Cooper Cup
2:43:13
almost two thousand yards triple crown, Calvin Johnson obviously Niclas was one of two
2:43:20
thousand yards. So well, last time here, Justin Jefferson had one hundred
2:43:26
and twenty had one hundred and twenty eight receiving receptions, eighteen hundred and nine
2:43:30
yards, and eight touchdowns. Sorry, read those stats one more time,
2:43:37
Justin Jefferson. Justin Jefferson had one hundred and twenty eight receptions, one thy
2:43:41
eight hundred and nine yards and eight touchdowns. Hmmm. I know there's a
2:43:48
Julio Jones fan there somewhere. Do you want to know how? You want
2:43:52
to know how insane Justin Jefferson is. He has fifty one receptions on the
2:43:56
season. Eight hundred and twenty three yards and four touchdowns and he missed six
2:44:03
games. That's ridiculous, Honestly, if we want to talk about best peaks,
2:44:11
If we want to talk about best peaks, I think Justin Jefferson might
2:44:16
be here. And he's not even at his peak yet. What about Julio
2:44:20
Jones? Oh, true, true, sure, Julio Jones Jeffers seventy one
2:44:28
receiving yards. M Yeah, and I think that was a year where I,
2:44:37
if I'm not mistaken, that was a year where he got Oh no,
2:44:41
he didn't even get three hundred yards in this one, but he had
2:44:43
eight touchdowns, one hundred and thirty six receptions, thirteen point eight yards per
2:44:50
catch. And in this season he had won Antony Brown in eighteen thirty four
2:44:56
that one year. Yeah, what we say in this season? Yeah,
2:45:03
in this season, Julio Jones had ten one hundred yard games. Bro.
2:45:11
But okay, let me harp on Justin Jefferson. Real quick, Okay,
2:45:13
go ahead, go ahead, no, bro, Rookie year eighty eight,
2:45:18
fourteen hundred and seven touchdowns, Second year one to eight sixteen sixteen ten touchdowns,
2:45:22
one twenty eight for his third year, which is last year one twenty
2:45:26
eight, eighteen oh nine, eight touchdowns, and then this year he's probably
2:45:30
gonna break a thousand in his last two games with fifty one eight twenty three
2:45:33
and four touchdowns and missing six games. That's ridiculous. I don't know,
2:45:39
if he keeps this pace up, we might be looking at the grace receiver
2:45:41
of all the time. He Again, I don't he'll need that longevity,
2:45:48
but I think he can get that. No that I say, if he
2:45:50
keeps it like, if he's able to. Yeah, he's able to keep
2:45:54
it up because he's but there's so many great receivers like with contact, like
2:46:01
there's so many gay receivers, and especially since like times have changed to a
2:46:05
passing league, like we're just seeing more and more like Jamar Chase is eventually
2:46:09
going to jump into a conversation for somebody one day if he keeps his longevity.
2:46:13
Yeah, and obviously, yeah, I know there's Jamar And then honestly,
2:46:20
like I'm not trying to be crazy here, but CD he could go
2:46:22
down as the greatest Cowboys receiver and and I think in a matter of eight
2:46:30
to ten more seasons, if he's consistent, I think he could become the
2:46:33
greatest guys I still have. Who do you have? I have Dez,
2:46:39
So I'm more of a I'm more of a Dez guy. But I think
2:46:46
if no, I have to do it, I have to put Dez in.
2:46:50
But again, Drew Pearson, he's underrated, Okay, yeah, Des
2:46:56
Michael, Irvin, Drew Pearson, Bullet Bob Hayes. Yeah, Alvin Harper,
2:47:03
Well, CD is above Alvin Harper and Bullet Bob Hayes and Drew Pearson
2:47:05
for me, like right there, you know now though as far as all
2:47:13
time, like again, that goes to like accomplishments and stuff like that.
2:47:18
So again, if if you're like, if you're just talking about pure talent,
2:47:24
standpoint, I don't know. Yeah, pure talent, yes, no
2:47:26
question Hill. So I've heard this before. As far as CD, he's
2:47:35
kind of has a similar mold to like a Marvin Harrison and Drew Pearson,
2:47:39
Tory Holt kind of that kind of statue of Reggie Wayne where it's not like
2:47:43
nothing that's ridiculous, beat you over the top, or like so so shifty,
2:47:48
it's just something that's consistent. It's it's kind of like I feel like
2:47:54
him and Justin Jefferson have very similar games as far as the route running,
2:48:01
but nothing to consistency over his years. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,
2:48:05
yeah, yeah, No, I get that one hundred percent. But I
2:48:11
think I think we did good on Q and A's there. We always get
2:48:13
off topic, but that's kind of the point of Q and A's there.
2:48:16
Is there anything else? Yeah, you want to say before we end this
2:48:20
episode. I know I'm gonna get attacked for the Tyreek Hill to any mass
2:48:28
debate, but I don't care Tyrek Hill. I don't think how you can
2:48:33
be mad at that statement because Tyreek Hill is literally like he does it all,
2:48:39
like he does every at his size. He's just does his speed such
2:48:45
on match that like he's as dominant as he is. Yeah, I agree
2:48:50
with that one hundred percent. But yeah no, we're gonna go ahead and
2:48:54
get out of here. But thank you guys. If you guys stayed all
