  Speaker 1: I can't listen. I only need positivity, I say, no,

• 2:05
  Speaker 1: this hour from Sun Day Night. Foot Ball as the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: day and it's still another game on Monday, but we'll
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: lead off in Western New York where the last game
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: was played here and a patriotic performance at AFC East.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Slobber Knocker was the set up there. And if you
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: had the Buffalo Bills going seventeen and oher, you are
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a loser. You're a loser. Drake May being credited with
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: leading the Patriots. He did not have a touchdown pass,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: but he did matriculate the ball down the field a
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: couple of times there. Patriots get it done a thirty
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: seven yard drive late, setting up a rookie kicker from Miami.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I'm sure that'll go well when the weather gets bad
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: in the Northeast. Andy bore gallis a fifty two yard
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: field goal with fIF teen seconds left, and it was
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: turned out the last the Barties over on the undefeated
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: season for the Buffalo Bills as they lose twenty three
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: to twenty on a Sunday night. And so now the NFL.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I don't how many guys are left from the seventy
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: seventy two Dolphins that went undefeated, but if there's any
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: of them still living, they seem like they A lot
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: of them have died in recent years. But any of
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: them still left can crack the champagne there as there
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: will not be an undefeated team in the NFL five
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: weeks into the season and they're all gone, all gone,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: all the unbeaten teams. To Fawn Diggs ten catches for
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: one hundred and forty six yards of the Patriots off
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to the three and two start on the season. That
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: is a winning record. My computer, like Brank, tells me
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: after five games and they win there the game there
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: in Buffalo at diggs first game back there since he
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: was excommunicated from the Bills sent packing to Houston. Despite
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: we said, this guy with the show named Andy, the
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: comic book guy who was part of Bill's mafia, and
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Andy was, oh, no, Sefon Diggs. No, he's a model citizen,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: model teammate. Of course, we all knew that was bull
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: crap and it's proven correct as time has gone on
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: here when you talk about what happened. But for the Patriots,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Diggs had a big day. Remandre Stevenson did not have
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a backbreaking fumble in this game. He had a couple
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of touchdowns on the ground and also the second one
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: set up by Stefan Digs who had a thirty two
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: yard catch and run, and the Patriots wins. Drake May
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: twittered seventy three yards passing so the game but no touchdown.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Throws but no interceptions, so you know, turn the ball
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: over and the defense made some plays. The Buffalo bill
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: is very generous in this game, but the better story
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: is in the losing locker room and Josh Allen not
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: holding back, not biting his tongue. Here Josh Allen about
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills and the offense, the performance of the
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. I think we have that audio. Let's go
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to the audio TA. Here's Josh Allen commenting on the
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: performance of the Buffalo Bills offense.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Take a listen, we just played sloppy. It's not gonna
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: win a football game. Turning the ball over three times
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: in our red zone, gave them one in their red zone.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: That's just bad football.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: And we just did not play good tonight. But again
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: we shouldn't have shouldn't have even been in it with
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: three turnovers. So that's again, that's just that's just piss
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: poor offense.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: There you go see piss poor offense for the Buffalo Bills.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Josh Allen. That's a quote, Josh Allen, piss poor offense
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: by the Buffalo Bill. All right, so let us discuss
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the question. How do you read the Josh Allen sound?
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: But you just heard it there, his take on the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Bills losing here at home to the Patriots. So I've
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: got Purple Hayes, Jim bro and Sinkle, and we will
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are going
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: to put the biscuit in the basket, is what we're
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: going to do. But the bis get in the basket.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: So a this was a Smelling Salts special, a smelling
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Salt special for the team from Buffalo. They needed a
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: wake up call. Now, normally you don't need a wake
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: up call. My experience, when you play an Island game
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: at night, you genuinely do not need a wake up call.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: This is not a morning game. This was not a
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: team traveling from a different time zone to have to
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: play a game and an odd out or No. This
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: was a standard East Coast night game between two teams
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: that are in the Eastern time zone. And yet the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills were like sleepwalking at the beginning of this game.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And I guess they thought the Patriots are so bad
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: they don't have to play a full gusto here. They
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: can sleepwalk divisional home game against the Patriots and all
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: that stuff. And the Bills got what they deserved. They
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: just got what they deserve. I mean, we saw the game.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: If you heard about it and we saw it happened,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you're listening to on the radio. Whatever. Yeah, they got
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: a big fat capital L loss, primetime loss. That's what
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: they deserved. The way they played in this game. That
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: was a supermarket Steve special is what that was. Meaning,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: there's a spill on Aisle seventeen, and we need a
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: mop and a bucket because the Buffalo Bills made a
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: mess of themselves. They defecated all over asle seventeen. It's
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: a bad job by them. Eleven accepted penalties, eleven against
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. But wait, there's more Buffalo. What they
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: did here was another caller that this guy Hayes Purple Hayes,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: we call him from Minnesota, who calls the show every
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: four or five months, and he works at a mortuary
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota and he picks up bodies and takes care
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: of them and all that stuff when they meet their demise.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: And so for him, it's like the Buffalo Bills they
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: needed that because they needed a grave digger. They'd already
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: done the grave. The problem was not the grave. They
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: dug their own grave. Here. They dug the hole. They
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: jumped in. They wanted to get out, but they left
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: their shovel up top, and they didn't have a ladder
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: to get out of the grave. They dug themselves. And
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: so that was it. Josh Allen headlining the episode of
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Disaster Piece Theater in this game for how long do
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: we hear that the Bills had that long stretch? They said,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: an NFL record for most games without turning the ball over,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: making mistakes and all that stuff. So you figure it's
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: gonna even out right. All things even out over a
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: period of time, and so they even out here in
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: the first half. You had my math is right, I wrote,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I jotted down. I don't know what that is. I
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: jotted down fumble, jotted down punt, fumble, field goal punt.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: That's your game script for the Buffalo Bills. So again
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: that's fumble, punt, fumble, field goal punt. That's it. And
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: you play with the live hand grenades and they were
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: certainly playing with live hand grenades there. You play with
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: those and then eventually come boo, get some shrapnel. That's
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: what happens there. We're not surprising enough. If you watched
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Benny versus De Penny. We had another, to quote Josh Allen,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: piss poor weekend on the NFL. But that's one of
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the things we did get right was the Patriots plus
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: the points against the Buffalo Bills there. So we were
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: not shocked by this perform and still to see the
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Bills turn the ball over that much, that was surprising.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: He said, Oh, they lose the game, but they wouldn't
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: do it because the turnovers. But they did, and the Bills,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: if you look at their record, Bill's Mafia is not
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: gonna like me. Oh, I can't believe there's such a
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: hater because anything that's reality, anything reality based, people get
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: all upset about. But the Buffalo Bills have been skating
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: on thin ice for a while here. Remember that opening game,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: the Ravens had it in control and then Derrick Henry
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: gave it away. I said, I want to win. We're
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: gonna give the win to you, and he fumbled. Fumbleup
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: set the Bills up for the crazy comeback late in
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: the game the Dolphins right there on the fourth court.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: That lowly my Miami Dolphins went into Orchard Part, New
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: York and had a shot that the New Orleans Saints.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: The Bills could not cover the points spread against that Saints.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: That's an embarrassment. So you were you were playing with
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: some issues here and you finally got burned with it
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and eventually the luck runs out or whatever if you
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: believe in that kind of things. But this was the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: universal signed from above from the heavens, right that the
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: universe giving them the knock them down a couple of
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: pegs situation here for the Buffalo Bills, and can't keep
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: showing up half asleep generally speaking, half asleep and expect
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the football gods to keep bailing you out. And by
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: any way you slice it, any way that you slice it.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Here just a flat game, and it's an island game.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And I don't know, I don't think it's like you
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: have seventeen supposedly hear how hard these people work, and
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: they spend all year working on but yet they still
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: some teams, you know, a couple times a year you
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: just have a clunker. The Bills have had several clunkers.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: They won most of them, but it finally came back
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to bite them. And so it's a ce la vis
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: situation for the Buffalo Bills at this point, such as
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: life in Buffalo. Now. The good news is you look
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: at that division, it's like, well, the Patriots are the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: only chance, the only threat lurking in that division is
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the Patriots. Like the Patriots are just mediocre, then the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Bills have nothing to worry about. If the Patriots are
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: better than that, then there's something there. There's absolutely something
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: all right now turning the Patriot. So we'll stay with
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: this game. There's some drama o rama going on between
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs, who had a breakout game, is targeted twelve
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: times digs the former Bill who's now toiling in New England,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: that he enjoys the pink drank or the pink goo
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: or whatever that stuff was that they had on the
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: boat there with Cardi b and having a grand old
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: time there at the Eye. But Sefon digs ten twelve targets,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: ten catches for a undred and forty six yards. I'm
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: told that is good against his old friends, the Bills.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't play in the NFL, but I don't want
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: to offend Ryan Clark. But I'm told that's good. I'm
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: told that's good. Then Diggs gave us the money quote
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: after the game. Stefan Diggs, when asked about his old
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: stomping grounds there in Western New York, Stefan Diggs on
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: the Patriot Bills game, said that it was quote one
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: hundred percent personal. One hundred percent personal. Close quote from
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs on the matchup against his former team, the Bills.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: So can you decode that particular quote from Stefan Diggs.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Of course we can. We have the ultimate mather of
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Rosetta Stone. We can decode all of this stuff. So
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: that response it's one hundred percent personal, is on brand
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: it's obviously on brand here, classic narcissism by Stefan Diggs.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: And that's what it's all about, right, just obviously it's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: all about it. It's never enough just to play well.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: And it's not just digs. It's like, you just can't
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: go out and play well. To play well, you have
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to have motivation, right, You've got to sprinkle in some drama,
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: little flakes of drama. You just sprinkle, sprinkle, sprinkle, sprink
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: You sprinkle those in just like that. It's personal. And
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the thing is great about this is there are a
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: lot of dumb fans that think, well, yeah, he's right,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: it was personal. The bills did him dirty? No, no,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: they did not. That that would be incorrect. Here. You
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: were the problems to Fawn Diggs in Buffalo. We had
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: said it. Everyone knew it, who paid attention to it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: You were the issue there, not the bills. You were
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: the problem there, and you look at it and you
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: powdered your way out of Buffalo. You powdered your way
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: out of the bills. You don't want to be there,
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: and it was the classic. Now he's acting like that.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: It's the breakup, you know, the cliche of the boyfriend,
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: girlfriend breaks up, the girl dumps the boy, and the
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: guy's like, all right, I'm a gym bro man. I'm
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: gonna post a bunch of photos from the gym, right
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Jim Selfie's captioned living my best life like crap like that.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: That's essentially what Stefan Diggs is doing here right now,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: pretending he's over it. But he's not over it. He's
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: obviously not over it. And that's the big You understand
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: how much the Bills had enough of Stefan Diggs. They
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: kept around two years longer than they should have. But
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs, if you look at it, when he was
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: there at the very end in Buffalo, and the Bills
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: publicly leaked a lot of stories to make it seem
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: like there was no issue, but there were so many
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: clues along the way there were problems there. And you
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: look at it and it's like the Buffalo Bills and
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: I went back and I checked my notes because I
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: was pretty confident I was right, and I believe I
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: am correct here. In order to get rid of Stefan
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Digs at the end of his time with the Bills,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the Buffalo franchise ate the biggest non quarterback salary cap
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: hit in the history of the NFL. Now I am
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: a salary cap truther, but that's still a ton of
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: money that the Buffalo Bills ate. The Bills ate it.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: They did not have barbecue sauce, they did not have
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: honey mustard. They just they just ate it. They decided
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: they would rather eat the money mana money, eat that money,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: then deal with the sideline hissy fits from mister Diggs
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: there and the bad body language, the sulking, the whole
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: routine right, the whole routine there, and at the end
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Diggs acted when he was with the Bills like he
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: was a prisoner in Guantanamo Bay. The way the way
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: he was acting there with Josh Allen, you know, every
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: time Alan wouldn't throw them the ball, it was like
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: a personal assault against the Von Diggs and all that stuff.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: So I do enjoy the revisionist history, like there's something
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: else that was going on. There's nothing else going on.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: It's it's unbelievable. Sevon Diggs was pouting poudy, poudy, poudy
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: with Josh Allen at Loggerheads. I ain't playing nice now
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: they're not working together. They're former work friends and you
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: can play nice and all that stuff. But it wasn't
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: just Josh Allen. There were issues with the coaching staff
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: have There were the cryptic text tweets back then, and
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I'm all for that. I don't have a problem with that.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Good for talk radio when you send cryptic messages out.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: But Buffalo did not do Stefon Diggs dirty. They did not,
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: and finally called his bluff. They got rid of him.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And and so this is like Stefan Diggs doing some therapy.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: So I'll sit in the chair and I'll do a
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: little therapy here. And you know, he needed this game.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: He convinced himself clearly had a big stat line. Good
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: for him that he's still the guy coming off the
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: operation when he was in the with Houston, he hurt himself,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: had had the surgery of the ACL But deep down, right,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: you look around and Stefon Diggs, he knows the Bills
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: don't miss him, and that's gotta bother. Right. Bills had
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: a good year essentially the same team they were with him.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: They're not a legit championship team in Buffalo in that regard,
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: they're a fraud, but they're a solid second line contender, right,
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: the Bills. They will get you into the playoffs, they'll
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: get you win a couple of games in the play
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: but ultimately they'll f up, they'll screw something up and
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: they'll lose. That's what the Bills do. And so Stefan
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Diggs got his revenge. Congratulations, he got a little bit
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: of closure. But they play these teams play each other
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: twice a year, so there'll be another match up here.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: The problem though, Diggs has is still trying to convince
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: everyone and even himself that he was the victim, like
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: because everyone loves victimhood and all that stuff, and the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: Bills somehow did him wrong. And of course I looked
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: at the evidence and they rescued themselves from Stefan Diggs.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: All right, now, last thing and the last word here,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: Does this count? This Patriots win on Sunday night and
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: even game over the Buffalo Bills with a late field
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: goal under twenty seconds to go. The Patriots get that
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: late field goal. Does this count as a signature win
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: for Drake May's Patriots? So I will be Benny Bright's
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: side to a point, and I will nod my head. Yes,
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: I'm nodding my head. Yes that This does count as
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: a signature win. Here's why Drake may had no signituit.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: So anything literally anything against the halfway decent team would
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: have been a signature weit. So what I'm trying to
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: say here is if you look at it, the bar
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: has been replaced by a sinkhole. For the Patriots, there's
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: no bar to clear. You're just trying to jump over
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: a sinkhole, is what you know. That counts as a
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: signature win in this modern era of the Patriots, not
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: for the Belichick Brady days, not in that era. Those
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: guys are long gone. Bill Belichick getting his face smashed
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: in in college football and Tom Brady, by the way,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: is there a worse general manager than Tom Brady? What
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: he put together with the Raiders? Holy crap. But you
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: can't rip Brady because he's football Royalty. What a terrible
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: job tom Brady did, Pete Carroll and Gino Smith more
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: on that later, Holy crap, that's Tom Brady. He handpicked
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the coach, he hint picked the quarterback and they blow anyway.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: So those guys are gone. But like a house by
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: the side of the road. But you look at the team,
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: the pagot and this does again, the bar is low.
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: It's a sinkhole, so let's not go nuts. I'm not
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: going to overreact to this. The Bills were sloppy. That
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: was a large part of the game. But a lot
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: of these games are decided because most games are lost,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: not one, so that is a factor in this. Eleven
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: penalties we mentioned that early eleven penalties, a couple of
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: turnovers as well. For the Buffalo Bills in this game,
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and the pictures, it didn't exactly wow you. It's not
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: like you, WHOA, this is like, oh, this is a
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: team that's gonna really contend in the AFC and all
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: that stuff. No touchdown passes for Drake may in this game. However,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: he did average nine yards per pass attempt. There were
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: a couple of big plays mixed in there, so didn't
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: turn the ball over and possession of the ball is
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: nine tenths of victory, so that was a big thing
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: and you didn't have to watch the usual slop the
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: Patriots have had there. It's in the last couple of years,
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the Patriot quarterback situation. It's a Rubik's cube, but you're
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: trying to solve it while you're blindfolded, all right, So
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: this does count as happy beat Days or here again.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Happy days are here again. No more Cam Newton from
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: a couple of years back, throwing medicine balls. You don't
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: have to pretend like you're interested in dog food Mac Jones.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: That's what he was with the Patriots. He was dog
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: food and Bailey Zappy cosplay Zappi mania. You don't have
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: to worry about that either. All that off the table
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: right there, See you later. So that's where we are,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and the Patriots are a winning team. And you know,
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: some of the records is how bad they've been. This
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: is uncharted territory since twenty nineteen. It's how pathetic the
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Patriots have been. Here that back to back wins for
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: the first time since twenty twenty two. That looked like
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: a Mike Vrabel like what he did in tennesse See
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: that type of perform It's heavy, underdog on the road,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: grind it out type of game. And that's what the
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Titans did back before things got really nasty there in
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Tennessee at the end. But you tighten up the AFC
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: East race and really again it's a two team race.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: The Jets have already been eliminated. The Dolphins have already
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: been eliminated, and it's really just the Patriots or the
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: only hope to unseat the Buffalo Bills in that division
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: and the rebooted Patriots. Is it something? Is it going
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: to continue? Well, well we'll see here. But the post dynasty,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the post dynasty wasteland, all right, they were competent. It's
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: just being a little bit better than average is where
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: you get a little giddy.

  Speaker 1: You need go to expresspros dot com to find the

  Speaker 1: location near you. That's expresspros dot com. So we talked
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: baseball last hour. We now go our lead this hour
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: from the River City. And that's where we had Jacksonville
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: in a full moon. That was the stage the final
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: act of week number five, Week number five of the
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: NFL season, and you had Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: traveling vandwagon fit for a pop star into duoll cardy
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: just like that. There a little playdate with the Jaguars.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: And you only see the Jags on National TV one time,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: normally a regional broadcast, but here they were Monday night
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Football Island game. Were you watching bad? You were watching
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: the baseball game? I was flipping back and forth. I
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: was I was flipping back and forth. I watched the
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: majority of this one. And a good thing about football
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: a lot of timeouts, so you can go back and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: forth and have a field day. So if you did
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: not watch Trevor Lawrence who tripped, he fell to the ground,
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: he stumbled, he tripped over his own line, and he
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: got up and he got his feet and nobody touched
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: him from Kansas City a defensive boo boo and scrambling
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: one yard touchdown with twenty three seconds remaining. The kill
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: shot for the Jaguars as it was a comedic pratfall
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: which ended up in an improbable touchdown and Jacksonville beats
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Kansas City thirty one twenty eight on a Monday night
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: as Trevor Lawrence was serenaded serenaded by his teammates there
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: his birthday, twenty sixth birthday for Trevor Lawrence there, and
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: good news is he doesn't need anything because he's really
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: filthy rich, so he don't need to buy him anything.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: He's so loaded he can buy whatever he wants. Yes, anyway,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: the ridiculous wacky ending there as Kansas City has scored
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: to take the lead, went up by four, so Jacksonville
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: had to get a touchdown. The Jaguars eight and one.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Now they snap an eight game losing streak to Kansas City.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: They also match their wintal how pathetic were they last year?
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Where they've matched their win total at four from all
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: of last season, and the Chiefs the better story here
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: in the losing locker room, the Chiefs dropped back under
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: five hundred. I thought the Chiefs had arrived. You told
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: me they had arrived. They beat Baltimore, they had arrived.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Apparently not that that was wrong. Well, the better story
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: is there, So let's go into it, and let's hear
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: from some of the key participants. Will start out with
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid. Now, one of the big storylines here was
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the mistakes for the Chiefs and they had they led
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: the world and penalties in this game, the referees calling
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: the penalty here, there and everywhere. Here is Andy Reid
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: talking about that particular issue.
• 26:48
  Speaker 10: Thirteen penalties. Therefore, whether I agree with them or don't
• 26:52
  Speaker 10: agree with them, it doesn't matter.
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: They called them.
• 26:54
  Speaker 10: And so you have that many penalties, you give a
• 26:57
  Speaker 10: field position. You can outstat them to death, but it
• 27:01
  Speaker 10: doesn't matter. It's a score that matters. And we've got
• 27:04
  Speaker 10: to take our business there.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Okay, Andy always sounds like he needs a throat lozenge,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: he and Doc Rivers always sounds like he's got like
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: he needs some garlic or something like that. Anyway, all right,
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: so question, let's discuss the question what happened? What happened
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: to Andy Reid's Camps City Chiefs there in Jacksonville. So
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: I've got waffle house, confetti and submarine and we'll combine
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we're gonna make your
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: Babushka's favorite gummy candy. Is what we're going to make.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: All right? So number one, I said number number What?
• 27:42
  Speaker 8: What? What?
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Right? All right? All right? So here's what I saw
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: on my TV, which is not I don't have like
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: the biggest TV in the world. I got a regular
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: sized television. I was a giant TV. So I saw
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Kansas City walk into Duval County and get in the
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: face with a frying pan. Andy Reid mentioned they won
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: the stats. They did. They won the stats. So if
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: you're just a low information fan and you worship stats
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: and you're a fantasy football dope, oh they won the starts.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Everything's fined. Yeah, remember what is the mantra? We have
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: a couple of mantras on this show because we've done
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: this a long time. Most games are lost, they're not won,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: and the better story is in the losing locker room.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: This game checks both those boxes, both those boxes. This
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: was a waffle House special for Kansas City. They stacked
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: off mistakes, they were smothered in penalties, and they had
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: a side of brain farts, which I don't I think
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: that's an add on item at waffle house. I don't
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: think that's out on the actual menu. I think that's
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: the secret menu. You can order brain farts. You gotta
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: go there, like a two thirty three in the morning, though,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: to get the full brain fart experience when you go
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: to the waffle house. But listen, the Chiefs cooked themselves.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Andy Reid mentioned it. Thirteen penalties one hundred and nine yards,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: and they even at one point late in the game,
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: not that it mattered, but they called back back timeouts,
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: which even I know didn't play in the NFL. But
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: even though you can't call back to back timeouts, you
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: cannot do it.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: He did it.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, you can't do it. I'm madden. You
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: can't do it in the real NFL. So Andy Reid's group,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: you know what it looked like. It looked like they
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: were making a YouTube video on how to implode and
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: lose an NFL game. Things to do to lose an
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: NFL game, made by those influencers in Kansas City, including
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: and you're not supposed to say this because Mahomes is great,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: but he left way too much time on the clock.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: They were so arrogant that the Chiefs assumed the position that, hey,
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: we're so good defensively that we don't have to worry
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: about limiting the time left before Jacksonville gets the ball.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: So the Chiefs did score the go ahead touchdown with
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: one forty five to go in the game, and then
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: they fed up the kickoff, which we've seen a couple
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: of times here in Week five, we saw it and
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: where they have the fugaz kicking rule where he's got
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: to be in the right zone. If it's not in
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: the right zone, if it goes out of bounds, the
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: ball goes to the forty yard line. So the Jags
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: took over at their own forty yard line. Now they
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: didn't need a field goal, so it's not like that,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: but they still gave them some wiggle room and they
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: took advantage of which is all of this is totally
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: unchief like. It's unchief like to play that way. We've
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: not seen that in this era, and the team that
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: has been the model franchise in this particular run of
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: big game performance and composure. They don't win them all,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: but they're normally not going to beat themselves and it's
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: been what six years more than that, I think now,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: and here they are in this game looking like they're
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, tripping over their own shoelaces and just
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: a hot mess. And then you had that ninety nine
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: yard ninety nine yard return pick six from linebacker Devin
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: Lloyd of Jacksonville nine yards. He should have run back
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: to the end zones and make it a full one
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: hundred yards. But that's the kind of play that you
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: see people. Wow, it's a rookie mistake. Mahomes not a
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: rookie obviously, right, Mahomes did the thing you can't do
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: at the time, you can't do it. He made the
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: big mistake there. And here's Mahomes, by the way, pointing
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: out Patrick Mahomes that there were a lot of self
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: inflicted wounds. Take a list.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: I mean, it kind of just talks about our whole
• 31:25
  Speaker 7: entire season. I mean, we I feel like we have
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: we have the guys, and we've executed at certain points
• 31:31
  Speaker 7: of game and it looked really good, and then we
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: kind of crush ourselves with penalties and mistakes and interceptions
• 31:37
  Speaker 7: and fumbles or whatever that is. I mean, it's just
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: we've kind we've kind of done that to ourselves all
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: year long. It's kind of been one guy here there,
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: and in this league, it's so close that those those
• 31:46
  Speaker 7: change games, and so we got to be better, you know,
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: we we we've lost too many games already.
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: Yes, well, good luck. So the Chiefs back under five
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: hundred here. That was a kick to the foot balls
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: by Jacksonville, the Kansas City. The Chiefs strutted in. They assume,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: like everyone else that plays Jacksonville, we look it's like
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: a community pool. You come here, you can look at
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: the pool, and then you win the football game. And
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: they were like, hey, we're rock stars, man, we are
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift's favorite team. We are. And they end up
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: leaving doing the walk of shame right down Broad Street
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: there with their tails between their legs, and the Chiefs
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: as they lose. Mahomes did have the Gatti stat line
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: the three hundred and seventy eight total yards running and passing,
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns running and passing combined, and a l So
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: the Dorks will be happy because Mahomes had a big
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: stat game. The Chiefs are two to zero against Tomato Cans.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: The Giants and Ravens are a combined two and eight.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: That's a two hundred winning percentage. Meanwhile, the Chiefs are
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: zero and three against the Chargers, Eagles, and Jaguars who
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: are a combined eleven and four. So that tells you
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: a lot, not everything, but it tells you a lot. Here,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: past results we know do not guarantee future outcomes. We're
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: all aware of that. And Kansas City had the Big Three.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: They were let's see the Big three. They were sloppy,
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: they were unfocused, and they were undisciplined. So those are
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the Big Three. Congratulations. And you could see we heard
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: from Andy Reid, but you can see Andy Reid like
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: kind of his mustache was twitching a little bit. Either
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: he wanted some chicken alfredo or he was very upset.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure which, but I'm going disgusted. But he
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: might have wanted chicken alfredo also and been disgusted. And
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: so the Andy Reid is always detail oriented, right, It's
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: one of the great Hall of Fame traits of Andy Reid.
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: And it's all about the little things, as coaches like
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: to say, but instead look like a bunch of guys
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: on a bender, just like they were there in Jacksonville
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: for the weekend, just having a great old time elsewhere
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: he had, Travis Kelcey had seven catches for sixty one
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown, which is good but not great.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: And my advice to Kelsey is he better run off
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: to an Elvis chapel asap, get married as fast as possible,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: Do not wait for the royal wedding, because Taylor Swift
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: is going to realize, wait a minute, this team's a loser.
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: My husband plays for losers, my future husband, so I
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: don't want to be associated with losers. So you better
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: get married quick, Travis, because it is not going well
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: for the Chiefs right now. And if the Chiefs keep
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: this up, I don't think they will. But if they
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: do keep it up, and she's going to be writing
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: her next album will be a breakup song and it'll
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: be like Flags and Fumbles, and she'll be rifting on that. Well,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: maybe the Chiefs are so busy. They were like they
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: were trying to listen in their helmets to the new
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Taylor Swift album and that's why they were unable to
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: play all right now, Page two. Does this count? Big
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: headlines all over the interweb? Does this count as a
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: signature win for Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars. So on
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: this one. I know that the clown College of Sportscasting,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: there's a sports writer clown College. There's certain narratives that
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: you just have to go with, and this is one
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: of them. But I rolled my eyes when I saw that.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: And yeah, you want to just break out the confec cannons,
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: you know, fire the Cottons, get the confetti cannons ready
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: to go for Trevor Lawrence. You can do that if
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: you want. However, I believe the word for that is
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: premature capital P. Premature capital P. And here's why, again,
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: we laid it out. Kansas City was so sloppy. They
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: handed the game to Jacksonville, and Jacksonville took it on
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: the island game, they took it. Congratulations. But stop me.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: If you've heard this before, Trevor Lawrence, maybe my TV
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: was different than your TV and the other people's TVs.
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: I thought Trevor Lawrence played fine. I thought he was
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: fine Trevor Lawrence as a player. It's not like he
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: parted the Red Sea or the Saint John's River there
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: in Jacksonville. This was more about the Chiefs collapse than
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: it was some kind of public coronation of the Jaguars.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence had a meh performance then two hundred and
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: twenty one yards passing, that's kind of where he's normally at,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: somewhere between one eighty two twenty and he had his
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: usual two turnovers, a horrific fumble interception, So he checked
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: those boxes and on the signature player of the game,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: he was at klutz, he fell down, he got stepped on,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: he fell down. And then because the Chiefs decided they
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: wanted to kind of relax a little bit, they didn't
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: want to hustle, so they allowed the quarterback with the
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: ball to Sanchez into the end zone. So let's not
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: act like this is Joe Montana finding Dwight Clark in
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: the back of the end zone against the Cowboys. That
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: signature moment that ignited the career of Joe Montana. No,
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: that was the most whoopsie Daisy, what happened? Oh, Mike,
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: I guess I scored a touchdown moment. We've seen it
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: in a long time. He tripped. He tripped, And there
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: is a dimension in the multiverse where Trevor Lawrence trip
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: does not score a touchdown. Jacksonville does not win, and
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: we were having a much different conversation you and I
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: right now out. But Lawrence is one of these guys.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: He's been a pretty big bust in his NFL career,
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: and yet it's like he's got his own visitor and
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: like the convention and visitor authority of Trevor Lawrence. So
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: you can't say that you just keep pumping the tires
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: on Trevor Lawrence. He's so good. Come on, if that's
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: your signature moment, tripping and scoring a touchdown, you likely
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: need to go back to the to the creative writing
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: room and come up with something else there. You need
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: to aim higher. All right, final point, follow up to
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: what we've been discussing here. Follow up to what we've
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: been discussing. So Jacksonville has a good record. In fact,
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: you look at your NFL standings, and I know you
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: love your NFL stand Oh, I can't get enough of
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: those NFL stand Boy, They're great, aren't the standings?
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: So you look at the standings for Jacksonville, and now
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: if you look at your big board, not a list,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: big board, Jacksonville is the number five seed in the
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: American Football Conference. So they would play in that five
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: to four game. It's way too early for all that.
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: But they're a playoff team and they're off to the
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: four and one start on the year, and the people
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: are saying, well, they've arrived, so is it time to
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: take the Jags seriously? Beat Kansas City primetime game? So
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: I would say, I'm gonna channel our favorite crossing guard
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: from Fort Wayne, and I'm gonna put the stop sign up,
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: is what I'm gonna do. Daniel from Fort Wahn, I'm yeah,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: I'm putting the stop sign up because here's why they're
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: not there. I don't see it right, and I need
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: to see way more, way more before I'm going to
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: start carving the faces of Trevor Lawrence and the head
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: coach Liam Cohne into AFC Mount Rushmore. I'm not quite
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: there yet. The wins are against the Niners and Kansas City.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Those are the two big wins for Jacksonville. Those are
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: billboard wins. I guess they'll buy a billboard on nine
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: to ninety five and put that up. Congratulations. Not impressed,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not so why are you not in press? Were
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: you just being a douchebag? Let me explain, because in
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: this game it was more about Jacksonville being the beneficiary
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: of the benefactor, which was Trevor Lawrence his opponent there
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Mahomes and Travis Kelcey and Andy Reid. Heer, that's not
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: arriving when someone just hands you the game. Now you
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: took it. That's like somebody finding a lottery ticket on
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: the street and then you scratch it off with your
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: like a quarter or something like that. You won, well, congratulations,
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: but you didn't buy the lottery ticke and you found it.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: And so again, just don't be a prisoner of the
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: moment here, relax as Aaron Rodgers fam as he said,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: and Jacksonville, he all told me. And I did have
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville in the game Monday night, so I was happy.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: If you watched Benny Versus the Penny on YouTube, what
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: you should watch every week, make that part of your routine.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: I had Jacksonville. I was very happy that they won
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: the bet. I didn't think they would actually win the game.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: The other factor here, though, is when you handicap the game.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: The big selling point for Jacksonville is they have a
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: top ten defense in most of the key categories. They
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: were top ten, top five defensively, and that we thought
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: was going to be the calling card for Jacksonville. However,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: they gave up. Let me check my notes here, four
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six yards that Kansas City looked like
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: a submarine, but they were the screen door on the
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: submarine trying to keep the water out and they were
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. It did not
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: go well. And so if the Chiefs and Jaguars meet
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: again in January in a playoff game, are you gonna
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: bet on Kansas City or are you gonna bet on Jacksonville.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: You're gonna bet on Kansas City every time. And context
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: obviously plays a factor in this. You're talking about October football,
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: You're not talking about a playoff test or anything like that.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: And Jacksonville they play Seattle next, that's in Duvall County.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: Then they play one of those international games across the
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Atlantic against the Elia Rams. So that's who they have
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: up next. And those are two games that are fifty
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: to fifty games. You can go either way where Jacksonville
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: could win both. They can go one and one lose bowl.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, those are legitimate similar teams to Jacksonville, the
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks and the Rams. So we'll see We'll see
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: what happens here. We'll watch the games. But in the
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: good news for the jackson I will Benny Brightside. The
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: division they're in, the AFC South is the kiddie pool
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: of the NFL. And I realize the culture playing very
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: well right now. They have the top record in the AFC.
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: That's not going to last. And the Jags is in
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Indianapolis can thumb wrestle for first place. And
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: the Texans are saying well about us, Well, I'm not
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: too impressed. They beat the Ravens and Cooper Rush, so
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: we'll see what they do when they play some real
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: opponents here. And then you got the Tennessee Titans who
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: are wearing the Dunce cap in the corner of the room,
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: sucking their thumb and the sandbox, waiting for teams to
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: give them games like the Arizona Cardinals. So Trevor Lawrence
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: still the poster boy. And by my world, Trevor Lawrence
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: is still the poster boy for getting paid on potential,
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: not results. And well, I'll give him this. At least
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: they're somewhat entertaining Jacksonville with like Trevor Lawrence is kind
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: of a Dopey got the long hair thing. You got
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: the nerdy coach who doesn't seem like he's the leader
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: of men, but yet he's coaching an NFL team. So
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: there's a lot going on there.
