  Welcome, Welcome, welcome, welcome, Welcome back to another episode of the
• 0:05
  so called Sport Channelist, episode number twenty three. Josh, how you doing.
• 0:10
  I'm doing good. Chiefs got back into the win column. I had
• 0:16
  my birthday on Monday. I'll go see the Spurs on Thursday. So so
• 0:20
  far, this week's looking good, looking, feeling good. I got a
• 0:24
  mic now so you'll be able to hear me better. So I can't wait
• 0:27
  for that. Chris, Yeah, Chris, Chris, but yeah, no,
• 0:31
  make sure you guys tell Josh a happy late birthday. But before we
• 0:34
  go ahead and get started, you guys could follow us on Twitter at Flying
• 0:38
  Garcia one hundred and Underscore Alfonso zero three. Whatever you're listening to it on
• 0:42
  spreakers, Spotify, ur radio, or any other platform, just make sure
• 0:46
  you share it. Just help expand this. And yeah, let's go in
• 0:50
  and get straight into it. And like we always do, we're going to
• 0:52
  get into the Monday night football games in which it was the Chicago Bears versus
• 0:58
  the Minnesota Vikings, in which the Vikings they lost twelve to ten. Josh,
• 1:03
  what did you take away from this game? Right here? This was
• 1:08
  an ugly, boring football game right here. Joshua Dobbs through four interceptions,
• 1:17
  looked like the backup that he's been for most of his career. He kind
• 1:22
  of came back down to earth in this one as far as the other side,
• 1:26
  justin fields, and the Bears just couldn't score a touchdown to save their
• 1:29
  life. They settled for basically four field goals, should have been at least
• 1:34
  seven. Button Fields fumbled twice in two important situations. I still won this
• 1:40
  football game, Joshua. Yeah. And then josh Dobbs misses a wide open
• 1:47
  Jordan Addison down the sideline, which would have gave them a touchdown and maybe
• 1:49
  changed the outcome of this football game. So this was just a weird game
• 1:55
  all the way around. Jalen Johnson got a pick. I think he might
• 1:59
  have got a couple picks. But outside of it, this is just one
• 2:02
  of those weird football games that just happen every week. Yeah. No,
• 2:06
  it was a weird football game. And of course it happens to be a
• 2:08
  primetime game. And it's not like anybody they stood out here. If anything,
• 2:13
  the Bears defense of Matt ebra Flus, they live another day pretty much.
• 2:17
  Justin Fields, he did what he normally does twelve or fifty nine.
• 2:21
  But what I didn't like is that, I guess, what's his name,
• 2:25
  the offensive coordinator for the Bears. I can't think of his name. Something
• 2:29
  gets you, right, Luke gets you something like that. Everything was just
• 2:32
  screen passes. Yeah, everything it was your screen passes or just like he
• 2:38
  didn't push the ball down the field at all, and then of course the
• 2:42
  last drive of the game when you need it, he pushed the ball d
• 2:45
  routes. Yeah, it was like you're playing You're playing like a conservative Madden
• 2:49
  playbook right there, pretty much. But I know you're a believer in Jada
• 2:53
  Pinkett Smith, Josh Dobbs. So do you think that, Josh, because
• 3:00
  this is the past two weeks, he he hasn't looked, he hasn't looked
• 3:04
  that good. Do you think that it's going to be a trend or it's
• 3:07
  just like a blip. I don't know if it's hard just because the opponents
• 3:15
  haven't been as strong the last two weeks. Like we both said they had
• 3:17
  a cakewalk scheduled in the season for like how many weeks have we've said that.
• 3:21
  In the last two games just kind of shit the bed. Both of
• 3:25
  them and Josh Dobbs has been a big reason part of that. And then
• 3:29
  even today they in the Monday press conference they usually have after their practices,
• 3:35
  Kevin O'Connell said, it's not for sure that Josh that they might be looking
• 3:38
  for a quarterback change with Nick Mullins coming out of injured reserve. I think
• 3:44
  if he was healthy at the time that Kirk Cousins went down, I don't
• 3:47
  think they would have made the trade for Josh Dobbs, but they know that
• 3:51
  they had to keep themselves in with them because they are still in the race
• 3:54
  for the playoffs. Yeah, that's for Josh Dobbs. I don't know.
• 3:57
  We'll see him next week as a starting quarterback if Nick well in just a
• 4:00
  full go and then they have a bye week, which is kind of comes
• 4:03
  at a really important time because you get Justin Jefferson I'm healthy, but Josh
• 4:08
  Jobs the past two weeks hasn't looked like the same electric like just the wonder
• 4:17
  of a player that we've seen the whole season leading up to this. You
• 4:20
  know, yeah, he definitely hasn't. In now, the cakewalk schedule,
• 4:26
  it really doesn't look so much cakewalk, especially after you lost to to Denver
• 4:30
  and Chicago, because you have the Raiders who may not be good, but
• 4:33
  they always give a tough test. Bengals still, even without Joe Burrow,
• 4:39
  they could still give a fight. Then you have the Lions factors and Lions
• 4:42
  again. So yeah, it's not looking looking very cakewalky. Yeah, no
• 4:46
  it's not. And then honestly, with the Bears, I don't know what
• 4:49
  they're gonna do from this situation. I feel like, I guess this just
• 4:56
  benefits justin Fields, just himself for him winning football games. He keeps his
• 5:00
  job as quarterback, He keeps quarterback or job security. That's pretty much it.
• 5:04
  But is there anything else you want to take away from this game?
• 5:09
  Well, shout out DJ Moore, shout out GJ. Howkinson for being good
• 5:14
  fantasy relevant football players. Thank you. Yeah, that's pretty much it.
• 5:18
  But yeah, let's go ahead and get into the next game. It was
• 5:21
  a Sunday night football game in which the Baltimore Ravens they moved to nine and
• 5:26
  three, in which they beat the Los Angeles Chargers twenty to ten, and
• 5:31
  Zay Flowers he basically put the game away with a thirty yard touchdown. Josh,
• 5:36
  what did you take away from this game. Right here, the Baltimore
• 5:42
  Ravens really missed Mark Andrews is what I take away from this football game.
• 5:46
  This was a tough game to watch for both sides offensively, Like you just
• 5:50
  expected each team to kind of like hit that big play, hit that big
• 5:56
  touchdown and many moments in this football game and just never came for either team.
• 6:00
  I guess at the end when the Ravens were supposed to be running out
• 6:02
  the clock and say Flowers supposed to run that no Moss like like Tony was,
• 6:08
  like Jason Garrett was saying over the broadcast, like, hey, don't
• 6:12
  score right here, just go down. But it's a rookie wanting to score
• 6:15
  a touchdown. So he took am like what like a forty eight yard run
• 6:17
  for a touchdown. H thirty seven yard run on that last on the last
• 6:21
  one for a touchdown. Outside of that, big players weren't happening. This
• 6:26
  offense looked very stagnant. They couldn't push the ball down the field. Although
• 6:30
  Beckham came back down to earth a little bit this game. Say Flowers has
• 6:33
  always has been the receiver this year whose average depth of target is like two
• 6:38
  point three yards per catch, like he has to make things, make plays
• 6:42
  after and that's what you're missing with Mark Andrews from this offense, which is
• 6:45
  kind of like scary to see because they're kind of where the Chiefs are right
• 6:49
  now, Like they're just unable to create big plays right now, and their
• 6:54
  defense are really keeping them in these games. And it's crazy that the two
• 6:57
  best teams in the AFC are both have this similar problem. I didn't even
• 7:00
  think about that right there. But before I get into the Ravens, because
• 7:04
  I'm a big raven Or not a Ravens fan, but Ravens advocate the Chargers.
• 7:10
  First off, I want to say, Okay, I'm not trying to
• 7:13
  talk about Cowboys right here, but apparently Kellen Moore, he made Dak Prescott
• 7:17
  all these years, making these thirty point offenses or thirty point per game offenses
• 7:23
  for the last four or five years, and he goes to Justin Herbert,
• 7:26
  who's supposedly the better quarterback, and it looks even worse. So Kellen Moore,
• 7:31
  as far as him being a play caller, I said it from the
• 7:33
  very beginning. Yes, he had some good moments, but it was mostly
• 7:38
  Dak Prescott. And he's proven it right here. And the last play it
• 7:42
  got on my nerves. It was where they were down thirteen to ten.
• 7:46
  It was fourth and six and they bring in cover zero blitz. There was
• 7:49
  no response for it, and all the players they look lost. If all
• 7:53
  the players they look lost, that's a coaching problem right there. That's just
• 7:57
  not having your players prepared and just a charge doing charger things being in the
• 8:01
  ballgame somehow after having two to three turnovers and you still lose. So who
• 8:07
  knows, but Keenan Allen he had a great game fourteen for one hundred and
• 8:11
  six yards. But yeah, no, as far as you were saying with
• 8:13
  the Ravens, man, it's it's tough. They're literally doing like the Chiefs
• 8:18
  are slowly starting to pick it up, and now it looks like the Ravens
• 8:22
  are slowly started dwindled down. That's what it looks like right there. And
• 8:26
  yeah, Mark Andrews, he is really heavily missed. And one thing you
• 8:31
  could you can say though, is that the Baltimore Ravens they can lean on
• 8:35
  the run game. You have Keyante Mitchell who did have some spurts, Gus
• 8:39
  Edwards obviously, Lamar Jackson brings a Threat, Justice Heel. Those aren't the
• 8:43
  big name guys, but it's gonna give you good production. And now it's
• 8:48
  really gonna be for the Ravens. It's gonna be really slow, the game
• 8:52
  down, play to your defense, score twenty twenty one points and just hopefully
• 8:58
  you win the ballgame. Right there, there's nothing else you could really do.
• 9:01
  But yeah, they need to figure it out because it's gonna get real
• 9:07
  tough for them. And I know you're really hoping that the Ravens they lose
• 9:11
  a couple of games coming up because they have the one seed right now,
• 9:16
  right if I'm correct, I pray they lose a couple of games. Well,
• 9:20
  it looks like they have the one seed because they haven't had their bye
• 9:22
  weeks. Oh yeah, they do have their bye week this week. I
• 9:26
  forgot it because they have that one that they have. They have their one
• 9:28
  extra game on the Chiefs, so they're they have that extra win, you
• 9:33
  know. But their schedule compared to the chief schedule is not the same like
• 9:37
  the Chiefs schedule coming up as Packers, Raiders, Bengals, Bills, Chargers
• 9:41
  all easy. I'm not gonna say easy wins, but they're all win they're
• 9:46
  all, they should go four and one, four and one, at least
• 9:50
  I think the Chiefs should. And as for the Ravens, they got the
• 9:54
  Jags, they got the Niners, they got the Dolphins, and they got
• 9:56
  the Steelers to end the year. But they're not very easy games to win,
• 9:58
  especially a division opponent the Dolphins, who defense is starting to come a
• 10:03
  little bit alive, and the forty nine Ers and Jags, who are just
• 10:05
  on a roll right now. Yeah, so they're gonna need to figure it
• 10:09
  out real quick or else they could go from being the one seed to like
• 10:13
  you always say, with this AFC North, they could always just drop out
• 10:16
  of nowhere. So yeah, is there anything else you want to take away
• 10:18
  from this game? Kind Of I kind of see what you were saying with
• 10:24
  the Kellen Moore thing because I even thought it during the football game, Like,
• 10:28
  Okay, outside of Keenan Allen, this team was not very good offensively.
• 10:31
  Kenyan Allen's having like a historic year at his age, Like we don't
• 10:35
  see this very often, like we see receivers kind of fall off the cliff
• 10:37
  and he's still showing like, hey, I'm the number one guy, I'm
• 10:39
  an X factor on this field. So he showed that, especially against these
• 10:43
  dvs. But like we were saying with Kellen Moore, like the situational football
• 10:50
  when it comes to the end, We've seen that with the Dallas Cowboys.
• 10:52
  It's not I don't know if it was Mike McCarthy taking over, where if
• 10:54
  Kellen Moore had the final like hey, I had this idea, Mike McCarthy's
• 10:58
  like do it. But with the with Kellen Moore, we've seen this in
• 11:01
  like crunched moments where versus the Niners two years in a row, and in
• 11:05
  multiple many regular season games where like the Cowboys have game winning drives to put
• 11:09
  together and the play calling just looks terrible, Like what are you doing with
• 11:13
  a minute forty seven left in the game and you're push trying to push the
• 11:16
  ball thirty yards down the field, like you know, like yeah, down,
• 11:20
  you need to Like I get you're trying to score now, but you
• 11:24
  still have a whole minute and forty seven seconds left in the NFL. That's
• 11:26
  an eternity, you know. So it's like, yeah, it's like sometimes
• 11:31
  his what he wants to be is too aggressive. Yeah, And I think
• 11:35
  the biggest thing, even back then with Kellen Moore or I think offensive coordinators
• 11:39
  nowadays, I say more more likely than not, all the offensive coordinators they're
• 11:43
  trying to showcase their talent or how much of a genius they are, so
• 11:48
  they're trying to just run up the scoreboard. Then, like you said,
• 11:52
  situational football, they don't know what to do, so they're gonna end up
• 11:56
  getting in trouble. But yeah, that's why Dyke Prescott's better than just Herbert.
• 12:00
  But okay, let's get into the next game. We're not We're not
• 12:03
  trying to argue here. We're not trying to argue here. It was the
• 12:07
  Buffalo Bills versus the Philadelphia Eagles. And what's the Eagles? They won an
• 12:11
  overtime, Always find a way to win. They're going to ten and one,
• 12:16
  the best record in the NFL. They won thirty seven to thirty four.
• 12:20
  Josh, what did you take away from this game? Right here?
• 12:22
  Because it was a phone one. I don't want to admit it, but
• 12:28
  I'm kind of have to admit it. At this point in time, I
• 12:31
  think Jalen Hurts is the MVP of football right now, and just based off
• 12:35
  this game alone, because this game alone, two hundred passing yards. Okay,
• 12:39
  whatever, whatever, But we don't expect Jaalen Hurts to throw for four
• 12:43
  hundred yards in a game. But Jalen Hurts had two hundred, two hundred
• 12:46
  passing yards three hundred I wish three hundred passing touchdowns in one game. Imagine
• 12:52
  he had three passing touchdowns in one game. He had sixty five rushing yards
• 12:56
  and two rushing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown is still the game at the end.
• 13:00
  In over time, he balled out like every time Josh Allen came back
• 13:03
  with the strike of his own. Just just oh my god, I'm mixing
• 13:07
  up quarterbacks right now. Jalen Hurts did not shy away from the challenge.
• 13:13
  He he doesn't. He's not gonna hit you with these big plays all the
• 13:16
  time, but he's gonna slowly break you down. And that's what Jalen Hurts
• 13:18
  is. Jalen Hurts is a smart quarterback. He's a slow, methodical quarterback.
• 13:22
  He likes to get it when the when the Eagles are at their best
• 13:26
  is when they kind of slow down the football. If you really watch their
• 13:28
  games, like they go like on these long drives. But in this game,
• 13:33
  Jalen Hurts was able to go bar for bar basically with Josh Allen in
• 13:37
  this game. And it was good to watch because Josh Allen is the king
• 13:41
  of losing shootouts. I'm just gonna say this year, but he's he played
• 13:48
  good too. I can't take that away from him. Three thirty nine,
• 13:50
  two touchdowns, and on the ground he had two rushing touchdowns for eighty one
• 13:54
  yards. This was just two of the top quarterbacks in the NFL going to
• 14:00
  against each other and one just came out on top. Yeah, and so
• 14:05
  first, first off, shout out to Josh Allen. I know, I
• 14:07
  know you beat Marcos in the league. Shout out to Josh Allen for winning
• 14:11
  some fantasy football games, right, I know you appreciate that right there.
• 14:15
  But oh he lost me a fantasy football game too. Really, how oh
• 14:20
  you're playing against him? Huh oh, well, I'll go ahead and get
• 14:28
  straight into it. But Josh Allen, Yeah, no, he he had
• 14:33
  a great game, and he had a great game, Gabe Davis. He
• 14:39
  looked good man that corner route or I don't know what it was, running
• 14:41
  a post, running a corner, whatever it was. He I don't know
• 14:48
  if it was a miscommunication or something like that. But still that that falls
• 14:54
  on the quarterback right there. You should be able to read that, and
• 14:58
  still I don't. I don't know what it but uh, I don't know
• 15:05
  what it is. But you're you're good. I could I could hear you.
• 15:09
  You're good, You're good. I should be able to hear you.
• 15:13
  But yeah, no, even though the Eagles they won this game. Right
• 15:20
  here, I don't want to sound okay, I know I'm a Cowboys fan.
• 15:24
  I don't want to sound like I'm being biased here, but the Eagles,
• 15:28
  how they're winning these games, it's unsustainable. They're giving up a bunch
• 15:31
  of passing yards. The defense does not look good. The offense is terrible
• 15:37
  for at least a half or three quarters throughout the game, and they finally
• 15:41
  turn it on. Yes, you could say, all right, well they're
• 15:43
  clutch or whatever it is, but it's just not sustainable. It's not gonna
• 15:48
  get it done. In the playoffs, the Buffalo Bills, they had five
• 15:50
  hundred yards, five hundred total yards compared to the Eagles. I think they
• 15:54
  had like three ninety eight something like that. Yes, Jalen hurts, he
• 15:58
  can only bail you out so much. And I agree with you. Jalen
• 16:00
  Hurts, he is the MVP right now. After that, that's an MVP
• 16:03
  type game right there. But I just don't think that it's gonna be sustainable.
• 16:08
  Yes, you're ten and one. It kind of okay. So the
• 16:12
  Pittsburgh Stellers, I think it was twenty twenty twenty twenty one when they went
• 16:17
  eleven to zero. How they're winning all their ballgames. It was real nip
• 16:21
  and tuck, close ballgames. Obviously they're way more more talented than the Pittsburgh
• 16:25
  Stellers, but it's kind of the same formula. And I'm sorry, it's
• 16:32
  not going to be sustainable. It's not call me a Cowboys fan all you
• 16:36
  want. Like against the Cowboys, got out gain. Against the Chiefs,
• 16:40
  got out gain, outplayed for three quarters. Same thing with the Buffalo Bills.
• 16:44
  You're down ten points in the fourth quarter. Again, that's props to
• 16:47
  you, but I just don't think that it's going to be sustainable. And
• 16:52
  I know they said, oh, well, this is a tough part of
• 16:53
  their schedule, but we'll really see against San Francisco, then the Cowboys,
• 16:59
  then Seattle they're a tough test, and then after that it's kind of a
• 17:03
  little bit easy. So these next three games right here, So not exactly
• 17:08
  I'm not exactly for sure yet on the Eagles, if that makes sense.
• 17:12
  But the Bills, as far as from the Bill side, I think they're
• 17:15
  done. They're six and six. They're behind the Dolphins. There are two
• 17:21
  games behind the Dolphins, and they've lost AFC games. After AFC games,
• 17:26
  I think they have five conference losses right if I'm not mistaken, So I
• 17:32
  haven't looked dug too deep. I know they've lost to the the Jets,
• 17:40
  so that's one right there. Let me say the loss of the Broncos,
• 17:45
  Yeah, the Jaguars, trying to remember their schedule in my head, the
• 17:48
  Jaguars, Patriots, yeah, then the Bengals. Yeah. So that's five
• 17:53
  conference losses right there. That's gonna be big. So that's what you have
• 18:00
  to have those wins. So what do you think about Sean McDermott. Do
• 18:03
  you think he's on the hot seat for sure? Now? I think you
• 18:11
  kind of have to be. We've seen good coaches go to the playoffs every
• 18:15
  year and get fired. This is what Sean McDermott is in Like, it's
• 18:18
  just do you want to get rid of? Basically, the best point in
• 18:26
  y'all's franchise since the early nineteen nineties. You know, it's kind of like,
• 18:30
  do you want to get rid of that formula which San McDermott and Josh
• 18:34
  Allen and Stefan Dicks looks like someone who doesn't really want to be there.
• 18:38
  We're not too sure where he may end up after this season, so it's
• 18:41
  like, I don't know, and you and you gave that big contract to
• 18:45
  von Miller, so it's like and he's non existent. Von Miller is no
• 18:49
  longer the same von Miller like he used to be. Like I understand that
• 18:52
  he's one of the he's a future Hall of Famer, one of the greatest
• 18:55
  defensive players to ever play this game, but he's not the same guy that
• 18:59
  was worth that seven many million dollar contract that they gave him. And then
• 19:03
  do you blow it up around a franchise quarterback with Josh Allen, you know,
• 19:08
  like how many gave Davis Is on contract? So this this Bills has
• 19:11
  a lot more questions to answer than Joshean McDermott after this season. It's just
• 19:17
  I don't know if it's he's in the hot seat as compared to a Brandon
• 19:21
  Staley who or as compared to let's say, like, well, Frank Craig
• 19:26
  just got fired, so's he's no more his seats, his seats not hot
• 19:30
  anymore. But I don't know, Like it's kind of like, who are
• 19:34
  you going to hire better than Sean McDermott coming out that can really unlock this.
• 19:41
  So that's a question to wait to be answered. Ask me. And
• 19:44
  if they go six and eight, six and nine, seven and nine,
• 19:47
  then that's a different answer because you don't have a losing record with Josh Allen
• 19:49
  as your quarterback. You just can't do that. Yeah, even though I
• 19:53
  don't like Josh Allen, but he's still a winning caliber quarterback. Yeah,
• 19:59
  it's true. But again you said if they're six and eight, they could
• 20:03
  really be six and eight because you play the Chiefs next, and then you
• 20:06
  play the Cowboys snacks, then you play the Dolphins again. So who knows
• 20:10
  if you're gonna even get up to eight wins right there? But I just
• 20:15
  looked it up. They're gonna be negative twenty nine in cap space or negative
• 20:18
  twenty nine million dollars in cap space this offseason. They have a lot of
• 20:22
  questions to answer, So, yeah, any anything else you want to take
• 20:26
  away from this game right here. No, that's about it on this topic.
• 20:32
  All right, Well we'll go ahead and get into Josh's team, the
• 20:38
  offense that supposedly got back back in back and form. And what's the Chiefs.
• 20:44
  They won thirty one to seventeen after being down fourteen to zero. So,
• 20:49
  Josh, what did you take away from this game? Right here?
• 20:53
  We finally gave her she rice to football. We finally chose her the best
• 20:59
  receiver that we have and was like and manufactured plays for him. I understand
• 21:03
  he had that one kind of ugly drop coming into that that would have been
• 21:07
  a first down that would have moved the chains. But other than that,
• 21:11
  he made some good catches though, bestally the one on the fade on the
• 21:15
  sideline where Mahomes threw it to his back shoulder. Oh he caught that one
• 21:19
  though, And we can't ignore the big old burst he had with the drag
• 21:23
  route and took it to the house. Like, that's what you get with
• 21:26
  Rasid Rice. He's leading the NFL with yards after the catch as a rookie.
• 21:30
  You just got to get him the football in any way, get him
• 21:33
  in the football any way you can, and watch him make things happen.
• 21:36
  I like how they used this offense in this game. Sure, Pacheco didn't
• 21:40
  have like the most efficient day rushing today together on Sunday, but he still
• 21:44
  had fifteen for fifty five and two touchdowns. But he did a lot of
• 21:47
  his work in the receiving game. He had five for thirty four yards.
• 21:49
  He really he would have scored on one of those screenplays if they challenged it,
• 21:55
  but said they just they just punched it in at that one yard line
• 21:56
  and we're like, forget it, you're gonna score anyways right here. Yeah.
• 22:00
  And then Mahomes, Mahomes didn't show like the Mahomes magic we're used to
• 22:06
  seeing with like the big like oh no, look passes, blah blah blah.
• 22:08
  But he he's played like an average Mahomes football game that were used to
• 22:12
  seeing. And if it's and Mahomes' average is two ninety eight, two touchdowns,
• 22:17
  twenty seven for thirty four, that's just that's just how good of a
• 22:21
  quarterback he is. He doesn't have to have the best day to be the
• 22:23
  best on the field. And that's why he showed. And this defense started
• 22:26
  off a little slow, started off a little slow. Gas in those first
• 22:30
  two drives, it was really mainly up to two really big plays that set
• 22:33
  the Raiders up with Josh Jacob's big sixty three yard touchdown and then Devonte Adams
• 22:37
  big like across the middle catch that they had which set up Jacobe Myers on
• 22:41
  the net on the next couple of plays. But outside of that, they
• 22:45
  shut the Raiders down as they should shut their Raiders down. They didn't allow
• 22:48
  really anything else after that, where where they'll be getting Nick Bolton backs,
• 22:52
  they're only boostering boosting up their team. So and that's gonna be with Drew
• 22:57
  Trenkle and Nick Bolton both on the field at the same time, they're gonna
• 23:00
  be the two smartest players on the field. So it's gonna be pretty hard
• 23:04
  to game plan against his team, especially when you get the main three involved
• 23:07
  with Rashid Rice, Travis Kelcey, and Isaiah Pacheco. That's the recipe for
• 23:11
  wins, and you sprinkle in a little bit of everybody else. I think
• 23:15
  that's how the Chiefs team is gonna start winning football games. Yeah. I
• 23:18
  think they already winning football games, but they're gonna really take over football games
• 23:22
  if I want to say that, So tell me, why for all everybody
• 23:27
  listening. So after the Chiefs they beat the Raiders, Josh he had the
• 23:32
  audacity to text me, finally we're back in the win column. I'm like,
• 23:34
  what the hell. I'm like, you guys, you act like you're
• 23:37
  five and seven. You act like you're this bottom of the barrel franchise.
• 23:41
  You're eight and three. Even if you have lost this game, you're seven
• 23:45
  and four. You don't know the mental barriers have gone through this year and
• 23:52
  you're still eight and three. But I think I don't know what it was,
• 23:57
  but I think just the Raiders going up fourteen to zero, it finally
• 24:02
  clicked in the Chiefs offense, like, Okay, the defense are not going
• 24:04
  to be rolling with us today. We just need to get something going.
• 24:07
  And then the defense they did, they did lockdown per usual like they should,
• 24:14
  and this offense it looked dynamic and they scored touchdowns in the second half,
• 24:18
  which for the first time in five six games they did. And yeah,
• 24:23
  Rashid Rice, if you use him, compared to what Juju was last
• 24:27
  year, I feel like he was already better than what Juju was last year.
• 24:32
  So this offense can definitely be dynamic. Mahomes being Mahomes, that's what
• 24:37
  he does. I don't expect anything less from him. And if the Chiefs
• 24:41
  offense they could do this right here, if they could sustain this, then
• 24:45
  okay, this is the favorites right here. This is the Super Bowl champs
• 24:49
  that you're talking about from last year, and you're going to have a softer
• 24:55
  schedule down the stretch, so it could be repeated because you have the Packers,
• 24:59
  Bill's, Patriots, Raiders, Bengals Chargers, so not necessarily like,
• 25:03
  oh well this is an easy w but they should be w so you could
• 25:07
  finish off this year fourteen to three and then next thing you know, you're
• 25:11
  back in the AFC Championship Game, back in the Super Bowl or whatever it
• 25:15
  is. But it's it's finally good to see that the Kansas City offense finally
• 25:19
  got back together. I wish it was a week earlier that they got it
• 25:22
  done so they could beat the damn Eagles, but no, they couldn't do.
• 25:29
  But so as far so as far as with this defense right here,
• 25:36
  So Nick Bolton, he's getting back. Do you think that they're gonna move
• 25:40
  Drew Tranquill out of the starting lineup then, because I know he's been one
• 25:44
  of the he's been he's been underrated, he's been one of the best linebackers
• 25:48
  all this year. So you're gonna just move him in for Nick Bolton or
• 25:51
  move him out of the way for Nick Bolton. If Drew Trenk will roll
• 25:57
  get I understand he may not have the main guy role, but if he
• 26:00
  gets taken completely out of this defense, I will riot because he's out playing
• 26:07
  Willie Gay, who I love. Willy Gay is a very one of the
• 26:11
  most athletic linebackers in the NFL, really good run stopper in the NFL.
• 26:14
  He's good in pass coverage, but he's had an off ear this year.
• 26:18
  Drew tranquill Is, I would argue playing the best linebacker play and this is
• 26:23
  with Nick Bolton that I've seen over the last two years of any Kendias City
• 26:27
  Chiefs linebacker. And I'm not just saying that because Nick Bolton is a great
• 26:33
  tackler. He attacks the football, attacks the line of scrimmage, attacks anything
• 26:37
  he does. But when it comes to the mental capacity, the call in
• 26:41
  the place, calling what the offense is gonna do, predicting what they're gonna
• 26:42
  do before they do it, He's had many plays where everybody on the defense
• 26:48
  goes somewhere else, but he identifies that there's gonna be a cut right here.
• 26:52
  He identifies that there's gonna be a screen pass. He stops it,
• 26:55
  and if he doesn't stop that, it's clear touchdowns all the way. And
• 26:59
  he's he's part of the reason why this defense is balling the way it is.
• 27:02
  I understand Nick Bolton maybe coming back into being the main guy, but
• 27:04
  you cannot get rid of that. We've already seen Willie Gate kind of get
• 27:07
  a little bit taken out when it comes to in the nickel and the dying
• 27:11
  packages. Le Chanell coming in a little bit, but once leos Chanell,
• 27:17
  that's so that's up to them too. I think those two are going to
• 27:18
  be like in and out for each other. But I think we're really gonna
• 27:22
  see a lot of sets that combine both the abilities of Nick Bolton Andrew Trinkle,
• 27:26
  which makes this Kansas City Chiefs defense even more scary than it already is.
• 27:30
  Yeah, it's and there. It's only been one game. Well,
• 27:34
  they only give up twenty one to Philadelphia, which that's saying something. They're
• 27:37
  one of the best offenses in the league. So yeah, you're just adding
• 27:41
  Nick Bolton. He's one of the best, or he is the best young
• 27:45
  linebacker in the league if if I'm not missing any names right now. But
• 27:49
  as far as from the Raiders started off hot in O'Connell, he looked decent.
• 27:55
  Josh Jacobs. If it wasn't for that big run the stats, they
• 27:57
  wouldn't be looking all that rate. But I think the Raiders they're just like
• 28:03
  a feisty team. They could be just like a trap game for somebody down
• 28:07
  the road, maybe mess up the seedings. So do you think I know
• 28:11
  they already have Aidan O'Connell in, do you think do you think it would
• 28:15
  be better for them if they not necessarily tank. I'm not saying no NFL
• 28:19
  player would want a tank, but do you think it would be better if
• 28:22
  they kind of take the tanking route rather than trying to win games? I
• 28:30
  don't know, because I still think they'll have a draft position where they're able
• 28:33
  to draft a quarterback from this year's class and either the first or the second
• 28:37
  round, and there's some good ones coming out. But I don't think this
• 28:41
  team tanks for anything, especially when you got a team of veterans like Davontae
• 28:45
  Adams, Josh Jacobs, Jacobe Myers on this Max Crosby. Max, you
• 28:49
  ask Max Crosby to tank, you are asking for problems. I promise you
• 28:53
  that. And I don't think this team's in position is a tank because they
• 28:59
  have the talent. No one doubting that the Raiders don't have the talent on
• 29:00
  offense. It's just a matter of fixing up that offensive line and fixing up
• 29:06
  that dB room on the other side, and then I think this team is
• 29:07
  actually would start cooking. I think they would be pretty good. And you
• 29:11
  got to get a quarterback. Aiding O'Connell look good to start this game,
• 29:15
  like he was making some pretty fast decisions. Yeah he's The Raiders are a
• 29:19
  team that like to hold the ball deep into the deep, into the progression,
• 29:25
  deep into the reids. But in this game, he was his first
• 29:27
  read open. I'm slinging like he was really looking for Jacobe Myers and Devonte
• 29:32
  Adams in this game at the beginning. But as the game went on,
• 29:34
  like they just figured him out. They started pressuring him a lot. So
• 29:40
  I think this team, if they are able to get a competent quarterback,
• 29:41
  this offense could start clicking. It's just a matter of building up the little
• 29:45
  things for this team and with their with their coach right now, who is
• 29:49
  a former player. I doubt that they think that they even think about that.
• 29:53
  Yeah, well, it was just an idea to get out there.
• 29:56
  But we'll go ahead and move on to this next right here, in which
• 30:02
  it was the Cleveland Browns versus Denver Broncos. And what's the Broncos and pretty
• 30:07
  dominant fashion which we haven't seen all year, beat the Browns twenty nine to
• 30:11
  twelve, and Broncos country. Let's try Broncos country, that's right. And
• 30:19
  Russell Wilson, he actually looked pretty damn good, So, Josh, I
• 30:26
  just had to say that, Josh, what did you take away from this
• 30:30
  game right here? How is this stupid football team winning football games? Dude?
• 30:37
  They are lucky. The Browns don't have a quarterback. They are lucky
• 30:40
  Joe Flacco didn't suit up for this game. I promise you that they're this
• 30:45
  team. Russell Russell Wilson did not look good. Bro like one thirty four
• 30:51
  one touchdown thirty I guess he had worked on the ground thirty four for a
• 30:55
  touchdown, But dude, like this team makes no sense to me. They
• 31:00
  are just really slowing down this game to as slow as they possibly can.
• 31:04
  Like they had thirty nine rushing attempts on this game, thirty nine. You
• 31:11
  know how many passing attempts they had twenty two. They really have like they
• 31:15
  have a plan going into this game, and it's like, we're just gonna
• 31:19
  slowly dictate this football game. We're gonna eke the clock out, We're gonna
• 31:23
  get field goals, We're gonna score maybe a touchdown, maybe get a big
• 31:27
  play here and there. Because they're their passing game is non existent. Like
• 31:32
  they may get lucky, they may not lucky because they have really good red
• 31:34
  zone receiver and Courtland Sutton who like you just throw it up and he makes
• 31:37
  a play, but like their pass game is kind of non existing. Outside
• 31:41
  of that, Javonte Williams is kind of getting a little bit more healthier,
• 31:45
  he's looking good. But outside of that, I don't understand how this is
• 31:49
  how they they win football games sometimes because like they don't look good when you
• 31:55
  watch the game, but they end up with the Winnsday last they won five
• 31:57
  straight. You can't you can't note, but I just don't understand how they're
• 32:00
  winning. Sometimes I think this all goes down to Sean Payton just showing how
• 32:07
  damn good of a coach he is. And okay, let me say this
• 32:10
  first. I know I said he can't be that overrated. Hey if he's
• 32:17
  taking this Broncos team what they went like, but uh, let's take it.
• 32:25
  But Russell Wilson. Okay, let me clear this up. When I
• 32:30
  said Russell Wilson played good, I'm not saying Mahomes, Dak Prescott, Jalen
• 32:35
  Hurts, Josh Allen this week. I meant like in he played quarterback.
• 32:39
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, And that's how That's how he's been all year.
• 32:45
  Just he's he's literally turned into a game manager who sometimes uses his legs.
• 32:51
  And this is just an ugly style of football that they're playing because their
• 32:53
  defense, it's back to normal. I know it's a Browns offense, but
• 32:59
  the past five games, this Broncos defense has looked like the Broncos defense.
• 33:02
  We've got to know these past two three years. So, like you said,
• 33:07
  just run the ball very effectively, Russell Wilson, pick and choose your
• 33:12
  spots. And there's glimpses. There's glimpses. Of Russell Wilson being old Russell
• 33:17
  Wilson, like that touchdown he did have. I can't think of the Titans
• 33:22
  name. I think it was Tropman where he scrambled to the right left and
• 33:25
  scrambled all the way out of them. Yeah, and he threw basically to
• 33:30
  the boundary. Nice toe drag swag touchdowns. So there's glimpses. And I
• 33:37
  think that this Broncos team, hot take or not, I think that they're
• 33:40
  gonna make the playoffs just just the way they're winning these football games like this
• 33:46
  compared to the Okay, I'm not trying to put the Eagles in them in
• 33:50
  the same category, but the way they're winning these games, running the football,
• 33:54
  playing good defense, quarterback, making very few decisions, it's very sustainable.
• 34:00
  It won't get you far in the playoffs because you're going to play more
• 34:01
  talented teams, but it's sustainable. It could beat the Texans, the Chargers,
• 34:07
  the Patriots, the Raiders who they have coming up. The only tough
• 34:10
  game I really see coming up is Alliance. But even if you lose one,
• 34:15
  so if you go six, you could maybe ten and seven, maybe
• 34:20
  eleven and six, something like that. So it's sustainable. What they can
• 34:23
  do. And as far as from this brown side right here, like you
• 34:27
  mentioned Joe, they signed Joe Flacco. It was in the middle of the
• 34:31
  week, so obviously after we recorded. But do you think that Joe Flacco
• 34:36
  he's really going to add any spark to this offense or no? I do
• 34:42
  I really do think he will? I really yeah? Did I say that?
• 34:46
  Yeah? Yeah, you will bring the spark to this team because he's
• 34:52
  a veteran, he's experienced, he's he's proven in this league. We saw
• 34:57
  it last year with the Jets, like he was balling with the Jets,
• 35:00
  like he should have stayed at the start of the whole season, I feel
• 35:01
  like, but he got injured and then like they brought in someone else and
• 35:06
  they just never went back to him. In all reality, but he was
• 35:10
  really unlocking Garrett Wilson at the beginning of the season. That's why when he
• 35:13
  popped off, they were like, oh yeah, like Garrett Wilson's that guy.
• 35:16
  But when he went out, it kind of wasn't the same passing offense.
• 35:22
  So with this one, I think it's gonna help a lot more with
• 35:24
  the passing game. That's something Dorian Thompson Robinson and PJ. Walker can't do
• 35:29
  to a Joe Flacco. They can't out pass Joe Flacco. They won't be
• 35:30
  able to move an offense like a Joe Flacco will. He's not in the
• 35:35
  limelight of his career anymore, but he's he's a he's that veteran experience that
• 35:38
  you can bring to a championship roster that can just kind of get you by,
• 35:43
  like kind of get you there. But he's not gonna win you the
• 35:45
  football game, but he but but he can get the weapons to do it,
• 35:50
  which was they have weapons. They have Amari Cooper, they have Elijah
• 35:53
  Moore, they have David and Joku, They had Nick Chubb, but they
• 35:57
  have Jerome Ford Kareem who are continuing to play it carries and do a pretty
• 36:00
  good job. Yeah, and they got their their their rookie involved this week
• 36:05
  with Cedric Tillman. So let's see if that's something they can build off of.
• 36:09
  And they still have this dominant defense. This defense is in no slouches,
• 36:13
  like they really helped his Broncos team in check. It was just a
• 36:16
  matter of them like slowing the game down on the on the Browns, like
• 36:20
  it was just something that the Browns can't stop if someone's trying to run the
• 36:22
  ball down your throat, no matter what, like, no matter given the
• 36:25
  circumstances, like they kept doing it. All right, Well, we're gonna
• 36:31
  get into the next game. Then it was the Los Angeles Rams versus the
• 36:37
  Arizona Cardinals, in which we both thought that the Cardinals are going to win
• 36:40
  in the pick ons, but they got absolutely obliterated by Matthew Stafford in the
• 36:45
  Rams, in which they won thirty seven to fourteen. And Josh, what
• 36:52
  did you take away from this game right here? Because it that was nothing
• 36:54
  or this was an ass open right here? Who who is the player that
• 37:00
  I've been saying that the Rams are missing every week we talk about the Rams,
• 37:06
  Mister Kyron Williams. Kyron Williams came back into this game. He said,
• 37:09
  I've been injured. What are you talking about? He went sixty three
• 37:15
  in passing yards in the passing game, he went six for sixty one and
• 37:19
  two touchdowns. He did everything for this football team in the in this game,
• 37:23
  like he really dictated what was gonna happen. We didn't really see Puka
• 37:28
  Naku or Cooper Cup get involved pretty much at all, Like fo yea.
• 37:30
  They had both had seven catches for I wrote it down here. They both
• 37:35
  had seven catches for forty five yards combined. Gis that your number one and
• 37:39
  number two receiver only have forty five yards? This is where when you win
• 37:45
  in the trenches. This is what happens, Kyra Williams. Your running game
• 37:49
  can lead you to a lot of good plays, especially when it's clicking like
• 37:52
  that. Matthew Stafford looked good four touchdowns two twenty nine, which is really
• 37:54
  surprising, even though he didn't really get his major weapons involved to out.
• 38:00
  Has some pretty big games in this in this game, so I don't know.
• 38:05
  This RAMS seems a little confusing to me. I don't know if if
• 38:07
  they'll necessarily make it because they have a pretty tough schedule coming up. If
• 38:13
  you really sit back and look at it, they could go three and three
• 38:15
  right here, and I don't think that's enough to get into the the playoffs.
• 38:19
  They have the Browns, Ravens, Commanders, Saints, Giants, forty
• 38:22
  nine ers, those are all variable, very I don't know. They might
• 38:24
  run into Tommy de Vido and really get scared. So I don't really don't
• 38:28
  see them winning that football game. But outside of and the other games,
• 38:30
  I really don't see them winning either. So it's just this team's in a
• 38:36
  weird spot, Like they came off that Super Bowl like on a high,
• 38:38
  traded all their picks, loaded up in big names, and then now they're
• 38:43
  kind of dealing with the consequence a little bit because they're stuck in no man's
• 38:45
  land. Because I don't really know what to think of them too much,
• 38:49
  but they have some pretty good They have a pretty good piece to build around
• 38:52
  a little bit with Kyen Williams in for the future. Yeah, and I
• 38:57
  so the Rams are only one game out of the playoffs right now, so
• 39:01
  I think that they could make a real shot because the way Minnesota they've been
• 39:06
  falling, they could make a real shot for that seven seed. Not saying
• 39:08
  they're going to do anything, but yeah, no, I know you already
• 39:12
  mentioned Kyen Williams, but Royce Freeman, the backup running back, he also
• 39:15
  had a damn good game too. He had thirteen carry seventy seven yards and
• 39:19
  a touchdown. So I can't remember the stat I was trying to look it
• 39:22
  up while you were talking, but I think it's when Sean McVay he runs
• 39:27
  the ball or yeah, they rush the ball for like twenty five to thirty
• 39:30
  times. His record is like thirty three and like five something like that.
• 39:35
  And they run the ball thirty three times two hundred and twenty eight yards six
• 39:37
  point nine yards per carry. And I know there was only one rushing touchdown,
• 39:42
  but it really they really got down there from running the damn football.
• 39:46
  And yeah, again, when it comes to November December football, you have
• 39:52
  to find sustainable ways to win a football game, and they're finding that way.
• 39:57
  They have an experience head coach, experience quarterback, and these these guys
• 40:01
  last year that were kind of on this bad football team because Stafford was hurt,
• 40:07
  they're they're kind of showing they're kind of showing out and they're you could
• 40:12
  see the improvement there. And I know you said as far as with the
• 40:15
  Super Bowl, the losses the consequence as well, this is only two years
• 40:21
  out of the Super Bowl and they were fringe wild card teams. So that's
• 40:24
  better than what I would have expected there. So yeah, just imagine when
• 40:29
  they're able to get Pooka Naku and Cooper Cup involved in You're really going to
• 40:32
  have something cooking there. So, like I said, we both picked the
• 40:37
  Cardinals. I guess this Cardinals team with Kyler Murray back, they're not as
• 40:43
  good as we thought they were. But Marky's Brown six catches eighty eight yards
• 40:49
  really weren't able to run the ball go ahead. I'm not gonna say Kyler
• 40:57
  Murray is not the problem. I don't think he is. I think he's
• 41:00
  throwing to three five foot eight receivers that are playing all on the outside that
• 41:05
  he has Rondell Moore, who is playing his why his exposition right now?
• 41:10
  Because Greg George is too small to play on the outside, so they have
• 41:14
  to put him in the slot. So like he really has no weapons to
• 41:15
  really their weapons. They're really good slot guys, but they're not they're not
• 41:22
  wide outs, Like they're not gonna get on the outside and really like take
• 41:23
  you vertical, really play a physical game. So like it's kind of like
• 41:28
  he's not dealing outside of when Markus Brown and Traming Bride they're getting their their
• 41:32
  because Marcus Brown is like a solid I think wide receiver two in the NFL.
• 41:37
  Yeah, I gonna say he's a wide receiver one in the NFL.
• 41:39
  I think with Michael Wilson, their big rookie receiver. He'll being injured kind
• 41:44
  of hurt them the last these last two games, because when in that first
• 41:46
  game he looked pretty good with Kyler Murray. So I'm not gonna I'm not
• 41:51
  gonna say it's necessarily that Kyler Murray is the problem. I think it is
• 41:53
  just a matter of he needs some better receivers. The Veto is throwing to
• 41:59
  a bunch of Da Vito there. Hey, he's not the Italian Stallion.
• 42:02
  Yeah no, he's He's not that good, but he's a lesser version of
• 42:07
  he. He's the Danny Divito compared to Tommy DeVito. Yeah he's short.
• 42:15
  Tommy DeVito called Kyler Urry short. All right, Yeah, I gotta gotta
• 42:23
  do the fingers. But all right, we'll get into the next game here.
• 42:29
  This one we're gonna kind of go through quick. It's the Carolina Panthers
• 42:32
  versus the Tennessee Titans, which the Titans they won seventeen to ten. Josh,
• 42:37
  did you want to break this game down right here? Bolt team suck.
• 42:45
  They both played like it. Frank Reik is gone, That's all I
• 42:50
  don't Honestly, Bryce Young was trying to do a lot in this game,
• 42:53
  like he was really trying out there, like you could tell, like he
• 42:57
  was so distraught, like he would he was running for his life in this
• 43:00
  game, like he was trying to push the ball down the field. Jonathan
• 43:05
  Ego had that stupid like caught the ball bounds, but he threw his feet
• 43:10
  to the out of bound. So like, I don't know, like I'm
• 43:15
  not I'm not counting Bryce Young's rookie year against him. I don't think his
• 43:19
  head coach got fired after eleven games. You're gonna tell me he's the problem
• 43:23
  that we can sit here and actually say Bryce Young is the problem. I'm
• 43:25
  not gonna say that, And so I'm talking up Bryce Young's rookie year.
• 43:31
  Hopefully they can build a better team next year. But as for the Titans,
• 43:36
  this team's about to be rebuilding after this season. Dereck Henry's on is
• 43:38
  gonna be on his way out. He's the only person that really really had
• 43:42
  a good game and for both sides, eighteen for seventy six, two touchdowns.
• 43:45
  That's just what Dereck Henry brings to the table. That's his that's his
• 43:49
  floor, that's Derek Kenary's floor. Every game in game out, Will Levis
• 43:54
  I don't know, Like, I just think it's a matter of having better
• 44:00
  pieces around him too, because I think he has the arm talent. He
• 44:02
  really does. He's not making bad decisions like he was making at Kentucky or
• 44:07
  yeah, Kentucky. He's not making the same decisions he was making there,
• 44:09
  Like he's actually playing like a kind of like semi like methodical game, like
• 44:15
  smart game. So both these quarterbacks are young, but they have a lot
• 44:19
  to grow with I think, well, they they hate them themselves. These
• 44:22
  teams need a lot of help though. Yeah, before before we get onto
• 44:25
  this next next game. Like you said about Bryce Young, I agree with
• 44:29
  you because it was so crazy watching CJ. Stroud in the pocket where he
• 44:34
  had five six damn seconds every other play compared to Bryce Young, he didn't
• 44:37
  even have half a damn second. He's running for his life. And then
• 44:40
  what pissed me off is that so it was fourth and five and they ran
• 44:46
  a screen pass for the game. They ran a screen pass for the game.
• 44:51
  It's like, what the hell is he like just put his head down?
• 44:53
  Yeah, Like, what the hell is he supposed to do? But
• 44:55
  all right, we can get into this next game right here, in which
• 45:00
  he's one of the favorites here to talk about. I know whether you love
• 45:04
  him or hate him? Uh, Danny or not Danny DeVito. Now I'm
• 45:07
  saying that old Tommy DeVito and the New York Giants beat the Patriots ten to
• 45:14
  seven, in which the kicker, I can't think of the kicker's name right
• 45:19
  now, he missed a field goal to go into overtime. Josh, what
• 45:22
  do you take away from this game? Right here? I'm not gonna get
• 45:27
  too much into this game. Is the second greatest quarterback to ever play the
• 45:30
  game outside of Patrick Mahomes, the Italian stallion of Tommy DeVito walks away.
• 45:36
  He has more Ohio winning percentage than Daniel Jones in his career, just putting
• 45:39
  that out there. Two and three, Well, he's two and one as
• 45:43
  a starting quarterback in the NFL. I think he's the enter to the Giants
• 45:46
  problems. I'm just kidding. I'm not gonna go that far. But this
• 45:50
  game was terrible. Like it was a terrible game. Sakwon Parkley can only
• 45:53
  do so much. He can only get you so far. Romanto Stevenson had
• 45:58
  a big game. I'm gonna say that like he had a good game.
• 46:00
  Twenty one for ninety eight a touchdown and receiving he had No, he didn't
• 46:04
  do nothing much receiving either. I'm not gonna lie. So honestly, this
• 46:07
  game was just a chuck it up game, much like the Panthers versus Titans.
• 46:10
  Both teams are not going to make the playoffs, seeing who can get
• 46:15
  the higher draft pick, which why I don't know why won. I think
• 46:16
  that's why the scoring was so low, because it was like, no,
• 46:20
  I'm not scoring, bro hell yeah, So it's just a yeah, let's
• 46:25
  just move on from this game. Honestly, it's just not much to talk
• 46:29
  about, nothing really that has any implications on how the season is going to
• 46:36
  pan out for the rest of the way. Yeah, just shout out to
• 46:38
  Catle Williams going to the Patriots. But yeah, let's get into this next
• 46:40
  game right here. It was a New Orleans Saints versus the Atlanta Falcons,
• 46:45
  in which the Falcons they won twenty four to fifteen and now their first place
• 46:52
  in the NFC South with the five and six record, which sounds disgusting.
• 46:57
  Bijon finally had a good game, Josh, what did you take away from
• 47:00
  this? Are the same thing capable of scoring touchdowns. Like, they did
• 47:06
  not score a single touchdown in this entire game. They had five field goals.
• 47:12
  I think that's probably gonna be my sole called MVP of the week.
• 47:15
  Is their kicker, Like I don't even know his name. I just know
• 47:16
  that he's not allowed in the stadium because he looks like a child. But
• 47:21
  outside of that, like he's he went crazy. What was Derek Carr doing?
• 47:25
  Miscommunicating with his receivers every play? His explanation for the pick six he
• 47:34
  said, uh huh. So they asked him that, like, what did
• 47:37
  you think about the pick six? He's like, yeah, no, the
• 47:39
  safety he went out of position. I didn't expect that. It's like,
• 47:43
  yeah, well, no, ship, that's a safety's job. Yeah job.
• 47:46
  Jesse Bates's job is to confuse you. Derek. I'm sorry to tell
• 47:52
  you like he's not, Hey, Derek, throw it this way. I'm
• 47:53
  not gonna go Outside of Chris o'larvae and Alvin Kamara having a usual Alvin Kamara,
• 48:00
  this team showed nothing on offense. I mean, they got down the
• 48:05
  field, but they couldn't finish. So the Saints have a real problem there.
• 48:07
  I think it may be time to look elsewhere. But in this next
• 48:12
  game, they're playing the Detroit Lions. No Rash, No Chris O Lobby
• 48:15
  because he got a concussion late in this game. No Michael Thomas. So
• 48:20
  it's just really gonna be an ugly football game for the New Orleans Saints.
• 48:23
  I feel I don't know how they come out on top of that one.
• 48:25
  But let's look at the other side. The team that's in first place in
• 48:28
  their division, the team that's in the playoffs as we speak right now,
• 48:31
  and I think they'll they're they're gonna probably be the team to finish it out
• 48:34
  if the Buccaneers don't go on a run. So Desmond Ridder, it's gonna
• 48:38
  always have his turnovers. We just captcha comings to expect that with Desmond riddervers
• 48:46
  Yep, he just is the It is the season of giving, so he
• 48:51
  knows how to do that. But this is Atlanta rushing. This Atlanta rushing
• 48:54
  attack out not just Bijon, but even kyl Alier, Cordeal Patterson, and
• 49:01
  Desmond Rader all had a piece in this running game. They really did.
• 49:06
  Bijon sixteen for ninety one touchdown Tyler last year ten for sixty four, Cordell
• 49:10
  Patterson eight for forty three Desmond Riders seven for thirty five point sixty yards per
• 49:15
  carry. That's how you win. That's how the Falcons are gonna win football
• 49:19
  games because they're not a team that's gonna be able to push the ball down
• 49:21
  the field until they get a quarterback. And I think that's what they should
• 49:23
  target in the offseason is a quarterback. But that's how they're gonna win football
• 49:29
  games. Their defense is good. I'm not gonna say they're great. I'm
• 49:31
  not gonna say like they're gonna be like game changing, but they can make
• 49:35
  plays when they when they need to sometimes. But the thing is that Arthur
• 49:38
  Smith is learning give the ball to Bjeon Robinson and let things happen. He's
• 49:44
  done it over the last two weeks. Let's keep it going. I love
• 49:46
  it. I have him in fantasy Arthur Smith. Don't let me down or
• 49:51
  I will fire you. I will go to Atlanta, buy the team and
• 49:53
  fire him. And then yeah, sixteen and then a John On receiving three
• 50:00
  for thirty two in a touchdown. He really got involved in every way he
• 50:04
  can in this game. Drake London, look he got he had a pretty
• 50:07
  good game. Five for ninety one, so so he's starting to get involved.
• 50:12
  He's actually had a pretty good year this year. Like people like to
• 50:14
  clown that he doesn't get his weapons involved, but Drake London has been pretty
• 50:16
  involved because if you look at his target year, he's averaging like eight or
• 50:21
  nine targets per game. So it's not like they're trying. They're not getting
• 50:22
  him the ball. Kyle Pitts, I just think we kind of need to
• 50:27
  all give up on the Kyle Pitts a little bit of like, because this
• 50:30
  is not gonna happen. I don't think Arthur Smith necessarily likes Kyle Pitts,
• 50:35
  so I just think he's gonna it's gonna be something where we see him on
• 50:37
  another team next year, and I really do believe we might do. We
• 50:39
  might see that. But yeah, this Falcons team really got the They got
• 50:44
  the job done. Jesse Bates had a really good game. Actually wrote down
• 50:46
  his completestat line. He had twelve total tackles, seven solo tackles, one
• 50:51
  pass defended, and that pick six to steal the game basically. So all
• 50:54
  in all, this Falcons team is looking up in this division, even though
• 50:59
  it's a really down division. Yeah, looking up to the or looking down
• 51:04
  to the division, but looking up to the rest of the NFC. Yeah,
• 51:07
  but that's exactly what it is. But I guess Arthur Smith he finally
• 51:10
  realized, Hey, my job might be on the line. Let me use
• 51:14
  the high draft capitol players on the team and that, and that's exactly what
• 51:17
  he did. And they have a soccer schedule coming up, so they have
• 51:22
  the Jets, Buccaneers, Panthers, Colts, Bears, and then the Saints
• 51:28
  again, so it's kind of a again I'm not gonna use the word cakewalk
• 51:32
  here, but it's it's a schedule where you can win out and you won't
• 51:37
  be like, oh, well that's surprising. Well, no, it's something
• 51:40
  that you could do. And again, running the football, it's something that's
• 51:44
  sustainable. In the Saints, I'd give it given up with them on this
• 51:47
  point. At this point, I never thought that the Saints were going to
• 51:51
  be like, oh, this super Bowl team, or they're gonna go up
• 51:54
  against the Niners, the Eagles, Cowboys. I didn't think. I didn't
• 51:59
  think that. I out they were gonna be at least a playoff team,
• 52:01
  but they're not even going to be a playoff team. And they're gonna be
• 52:04
  in cap hill. Dennis Allen, he's gonna be on the hot seat right
• 52:08
  here. This is his third year, second or third year, I'm not
• 52:14
  exactly sure. Third year, and they haven't done nothing. So yeah,
• 52:19
  I think he's gonna be done after this. Go with the offensive coach,
• 52:22
  maybe try to fix their carr up a little bit. But you pretty much
• 52:25
  hit all the points there. There's nothing else I really have to say,
• 52:29
  anything else you want to take away from this game. For the Saints,
• 52:31
  I think they have the talent to be a really good football team. Their
• 52:37
  defense is just getting old, Like this defense is usually a predominant defense over
• 52:40
  their last like their whole tenure as a complete team. Because Dennis Allen was
• 52:44
  a defensive coordinator for that he's been on this He's been on this team for
• 52:47
  quite a while, like almost like over a decade. I believe he's been
• 52:52
  part of the Saints. So Cameron Jordan's getting old. Damario Davis isn't looking
• 52:58
  like the same guy, Like he's not looking like the speedy pass coverage guy.
• 53:02
  Now he's just a run stopper. I think, like, yeah,
• 53:06
  they're getting old. Marshall Lattimore isn't necessarily getting old. He's twenty seven years
• 53:09
  old. He's still a great corner in this league, but he's injury prone
• 53:15
  now, Like he's just not the same guy that we're used to seeing sometimes
• 53:19
  because he's always dealing with these nagging injuries. Tyron Matthews still continues to be
• 53:22
  a really good player. Should have never left us. I'm sorry, I
• 53:25
  miss you a lot sometimes. But he's still looking like a good player.
• 53:30
  But outside of the like those those are your main guys, and they're all
• 53:34
  getting up there in age, so it's kind of look like this needs to
• 53:37
  be a team that kind of needs to look for new, rejuvenated players,
• 53:40
  I think. And then Andy Dahlan was doing the same things with this team
• 53:44
  last year, and they gave Derek Carr that contract, So that just speaks
• 53:47
  to volumes of they're identifying of who they have on their team. Yep,
• 53:52
  it's true. And before we get off this game, I swear Arthur Smith
• 53:54
  because I benched Bjeon Robinson last week, I swear if he has a goose
• 53:59
  egg this next week, I'm literally I'm gonna go up to the damn team
• 54:02
  and I'm gonna go fire you my damn self too. I don't care Atlanta.
• 54:07
  Oh yeah, because okay, so I had Jonathan Taylor and Ramandri and
• 54:13
  then I had I can't think of the other running back, and as a
• 54:16
  flex, I was like, all right, well, well, jon he
• 54:20
  hasn't done nothing. I'm like, oh, you have a little choice but
• 54:22
  to start him now? Yeah? No, and look, watch he's gonna
• 54:25
  do jack shit now. I already know it's but all right, everybody else,
• 54:30
  y'all need to sit bjon because I'm starting him. I'm just letting you
• 54:34
  guys know. But all right, let's get into this next game right here,
• 54:37
  in which it's another one of Josh's favorite players right here, the man,
• 54:42
  the myth, the legend, the Heisman winner, Baker Mayfield. And
• 54:45
  once they lost to the Colts twenty seven to twenty and and yeah, the
• 54:52
  Bucks try to make a late comeback, but Jonathan Taylor scored twice and they
• 54:55
  end up winning and they have a shot for the playoffs right now, the
• 54:59
  Colts because they move to six and five, Buccaneers move to four and seven.
• 55:02
  Josh, anything you want to take away from this game, This Buccaneers
• 55:07
  team, like they have the they have the firepower, but I feel like
• 55:10
  sometimes they like get stagnant in the middle of games, like they start slowing
• 55:15
  down, Like they start going on these three and out streaks. They start
• 55:20
  they start the game off hot in the middle, they're like, ah,
• 55:24
  what do we do right here? Then at the end they're like, let's
• 55:27
  turn it up, let's start going now. Like no, like they need
• 55:29
  to have a complete for a complete fifteen minutes in every quarter of like trying
• 55:35
  to move the ball down the field, get field goals, do this,
• 55:37
  Like because they're in the games. They're losing all these games by one possession.
• 55:40
  They're not losing these games by getting blown out. I think they've only
• 55:44
  lost like one or two where it's been double digits. Outside of that,
• 55:46
  they've all been in the games at the end. So I don't know what's
• 55:51
  going on with this team. They're somehow still in the race, much like
• 55:53
  the Saints and the Falcons. It's all gonna come down to them for that
• 55:58
  division towards I think around like weekend, the last week of the season,
• 56:01
  we're not gonna know maybe who's the leader. So so on the other side,
• 56:07
  the Colts, Jonathan Taylor had a good game, but for the Colts
• 56:10
  going forward, who are still in the hunt for the playoffs. He's gone.
• 56:15
  He's out for the next two to three weeks. They said with the
• 56:17
  with the broken with the thumb, he's getting surgery. So I don't honestly,
• 56:22
  I'm not really too afraid about that for them because Zach Moss when there
• 56:25
  wasn't no Jonathan Taylor was was a top the second leading rusher in the NFL.
• 56:34
  So so I think they're probably not gonna miss the beat. Jonathan Taylor
• 56:38
  is still the dynamic, he's the better back. There's a reason why you
• 56:42
  pay him the money you paid him. But Zach Moss is a very serviceable
• 56:45
  player that can come in and step in. So the Colts, I'm not
• 56:49
  too worried about them. They have a I think they play the Jags coming
• 56:52
  up next, so that's gonna be a big game for them if they win
• 56:54
  that game. They moved to seven and five, that gives the that drops
• 56:58
  the Jags down to eight and four. So this this division still still moving
• 57:01
  and it's pretty surprising Garnerment. It's not surprising Garnerment. She's a good quarterback.
• 57:05
  But even with anything Richardson's going down, this team still has a lot
• 57:07
  of hope. So I think that's pretty exciting for the Colts next year when
• 57:10
  Anthony Richardson is healthy. Yeah, and uh they they still they still have
• 57:15
  a shot for the division. I know that that they already played the Jaguars
• 57:19
  twice and they lost both of them. But hey, maybe Jacksonville they slip
• 57:22
  up a couple of games, and do they play what Houston? Do they
• 57:27
  play Houston next? I know they played Tennessee next they play They played Houston
• 57:32
  the last week of the season, so it was a division game that they
• 57:36
  had next. So that's what they should win that football game there. Yeah,
• 57:39
  they well they should, but again we don't know. But like you
• 57:43
  said, the Colts team, they're they're a damn I wouldn't say that they're
• 57:47
  a great team. They're just a complete team all around. Like they're not
• 57:52
  They're not great anywhere, but they're not bad anywhere. They just it's just
• 57:55
  real solid. And you have a quarterback there who like Gardner Minshew, who
• 58:00
  could just do maybe a play here or there that puts it over the top.
• 58:05
  And you have weapons there. You have Josh Downs. I know he's
• 58:07
  not back. I know he's not back yet, but oh no, he
• 58:10
  is back. I'm sorry he is back. But then Michael Pittman he is
• 58:15
  there. And then Zach Moss, like you said, he can be a
• 58:16
  bell cow running back for three or four weeks however long you need him to
• 58:21
  be. So yeah, not necessarily that. I don't think that they can't
• 58:27
  make some noise in the playoffs, but there's just too many top end teams
• 58:30
  that could just dismantle the Colts pretty quick. Because the Colts that could only
• 58:36
  win one way, just run the football, be in control, then just
• 58:39
  play solid defense. But as far as with this bucks up, I think
• 58:45
  that you just need to just you don't need to rebuild, just revamp.
• 58:51
  Revamp, Maybe give Baker another year. If you can't get a good shot
• 58:53
  for a top quarterback, just revamp, get more weapons around you. I
• 58:59
  know Mike Evans is going to be gone this next year, so just try
• 59:01
  to just try to get younger. Let these young guys play, because even
• 59:06
  though they're they're in the chance for or they have a shot for the division,
• 59:09
  they're not gonna do nothing. Let's be honest. They'd be playing as
• 59:14
  of right now the Cowboys in the playoffs, and we already know how that's
• 59:17
  gonna go. So, yeah, anything else you want to take away from
• 59:21
  this game, I just think as far as Baker Mayfield, I think he's
• 59:28
  proven that he can start in the league still, that he's still certain that
• 59:30
  he's still a good starting quarterback. So I think even if he's not on
• 59:35
  the Buccaneers after this year, like he'll be a starting quarterback somewhere else.
• 59:38
  Yeah, I could definitely see that. But all right, let's go ahead
• 59:42
  and get into this next game right here on which it was the Jacksonville Jaguars
• 59:45
  versus the Houston Texans. It was actually a pretty interesting game in which Matt
• 59:51
  Avendola he missed a game time field goal from fifty eight yards out and it
• 59:55
  was it was perfect. It was right down the middle, but just not
• 59:59
  enough power. And now the jackson Jacksonville Jaguars they hold a stronghold over the
• 1:00:05
  division. Josh, what did you take away from this game? This was
• 1:00:14
  a good all around game for I think both teams. Trevor Lawrence is starting
• 1:00:19
  to look a little bit better these last two weeks. He threw for three
• 1:00:22
  hundred and sixty four yards in this game, a touchdown, and then he
• 1:00:24
  rushed. He rushed for a touchdown. It wasn't lighting up the scoring for
• 1:00:29
  him, but he still got a lot more involved than what he has been
• 1:00:32
  the last basically the whole season. He's really come come into his own,
• 1:00:37
  come into who he's supposed to be the last two games. As far as
• 1:00:42
  Calvin Ridley, he's getting back onto track a little bit. But I've saw
• 1:00:45
  something where every time Day Jones plays, Calvin Ridley actually has a pretty good
• 1:00:49
  game, which is kind of weird. Every time they Jones isn't playing,
• 1:00:52
  Calvin Riley goes back down to being like a mediocre receiver for some reason.
• 1:00:55
  So let's Zay Jones stay healthy and Calvin Ridley may be good. But outside
• 1:01:00
  of that, traves E team left with a little bit of an injury.
• 1:01:05
  That's something to monitor. I don't know how that's going to be. But
• 1:01:07
  on the other side, CJ. Stroud balled out man like. He played
• 1:01:10
  really good football, three or four, two touchdowns rushing. He got really
• 1:01:15
  involved in the rushing game in this game. I didn't expect that. That's
• 1:01:17
  something he hasn't really done much all season. He went six or forty seven
• 1:01:22
  in a touchdown, So he did everything he can to win this football game.
• 1:01:24
  I kind of feel bad for the guy, but that's just it was
• 1:01:30
  just a good football game. There was some miscalls for the Texans. I
• 1:01:34
  think that didn't go in their favor, but and in that field goal,
• 1:01:38
  if that field goal goes through, they go to overtime and they maybe play
• 1:01:44
  for the win. They maybe don't. But it was just a good game
• 1:01:45
  to watch all in all, two good football teams playing each other. Yeah,
• 1:01:50
  it definitely was a good game. And the biggest thing I could take
• 1:01:52
  away from this is that you saw, even though that these teams they look
• 1:01:57
  evenly match, you saw the experienced team. This is the inexperienced team in
• 1:02:00
  a high stakes game. So Trevor Lawrence, I know he's been getting a
• 1:02:06
  lot of slack as of late, but but yeah, no, he's finally
• 1:02:09
  starting to come along. Look nice, look like that top ten quarterback.
• 1:02:14
  And I know that the Texans they try to make a run late. They
• 1:02:19
  didn't score in the first quarter. But the Jaguars they just kept control of
• 1:02:22
  the game. They were just experienced. You could tell that they're not necessarily
• 1:02:28
  that they're an old team. They're a veteran team. They know how to
• 1:02:30
  win these high stakes game. And that's exactly what they did. But CJ.
• 1:02:34
  Stroud Man, that dude, he I don't know how he keeps doing
• 1:02:39
  it, but he keeps impressing me weak after week after week because it looked
• 1:02:44
  like, oh, well, he's just a pocket quarterback who's just mobile around
• 1:02:46
  the pocket. But no, like you said, he did use his legs
• 1:02:50
  and he showed that there's a different element. And I'm I'm for real,
• 1:02:54
  like he looks like a Dak Prescott mold like it's it looks almost every time
• 1:03:00
  I watch it. It just looks damn near identical to me. Obviously he's
• 1:03:06
  having a better rookie year than what Dak had, but just like what he
• 1:03:09
  was doing his rookie year, just making plays, just being better than what
• 1:03:14
  we expected here and now it's clear cut and obvious that he should have been
• 1:03:19
  that number one overall pick and the Houston Texans they're blessed for years to come.
• 1:03:23
  And is there anything else you want to take away from this game?
• 1:03:28
  Uh? Nope, I think that covers pretty much everything in this game.
• 1:03:31
  Josh Allen got a sack, That's all I gotta say. Mm hmm,
• 1:03:35
  Well, all right, we'll get into this last Sunday game in which it
• 1:03:37
  was a Pittsburgh Stiller versus the Cincinnati Bengals. This was kind of a boring
• 1:03:42
  game right here, Josh, did you want to break this one down right
• 1:03:44
  here? Yeah, I kind of feel like we have to a little bit,
• 1:03:49
  just because they both have playoff implications. Yea. As far as the
• 1:03:52
  Steelers side, Penny Pickets one of my least favorite players of all time,
• 1:04:00
  but he uh two seventy eight didn't do much he so I think this offense
• 1:04:09
  is still like a little weird. I think this is where your tight end
• 1:04:11
  comes into play. And Pat fire Muth had a big day in his first
• 1:04:15
  real healthy game back nine for one twenty. They really unlocked him a little
• 1:04:19
  bit, and that's what helps. Can you pick Out? I think because
• 1:04:23
  can you Picktt? Can't really move the ball down the field, but you're
• 1:04:25
  tight end is if you came to the ball down the field, your tight
• 1:04:28
  end is your best friend. And that's exactly what Pat Firemuth was for.
• 1:04:31
  Can you Picktt? In this game nine for one to twenty, he had
• 1:04:34
  almost half of Canny Pickett's in total passing yards. In the run game,
• 1:04:40
  Najie Harris was the one this week to kind of take over a little bit
• 1:04:44
  fifteen for ninety nine in a touchdown, and Jalen Warren came back down to
• 1:04:47
  earth a little bit thirteen for forty nine, and then the passing game three
• 1:04:50
  for thirteen. So but that's just what I've probably come to expect. If
• 1:04:55
  Jalen Warren is not ripping off a big play, he's probably not gonna be
• 1:04:58
  very productive. I think as far as the other side, I just think
• 1:05:01
  we have to chalk up the Bengals season. Man. I just don't think
• 1:05:04
  Jake Browning is gonna get it done. He could. They couldn't move the
• 1:05:06
  ball down the field. This offense was non existent. They really stacked the
• 1:05:11
  box. The running game couldn't get going eight for sixteen for Joue Maxon.
• 1:05:15
  It just wasn't They only ran the ball eleven times in this game, which
• 1:05:18
  is probably a problem, but they they need to. It's just everything all
• 1:05:24
  around outside of Jamar Chase for for eighty one, and that's just his floor
• 1:05:28
  right there, four four for eighty one. His team can't really get it
• 1:05:32
  moving. The Steelers defense continues to ball TJ. Watt finished the game with
• 1:05:38
  let me check real quick on my notes. He finished with sacks at tackle
• 1:05:42
  for loss. Yea, yeah, so he he put up the stat sheet
• 1:05:49
  himself. He impacts every game that he's in. There's a reason why people
• 1:05:55
  highly regard him. And he took over in this game. And that's what
• 1:05:58
  you got to do to these inexperienced back Just pressure them and get them a
• 1:06:00
  little little wavered and they won't get the job done. I hate this team.
• 1:06:08
  I do. I hate this team. I hate the Pittsburgh Steelers because
• 1:06:13
  they're gonna make the playoffs. Unsustainable football, terrible quarterback, where's two gloves?
• 1:06:18
  He's not a deveto? So yeah, this dude, can you pickett?
• 1:06:21
  I'm sorry, this dude sucks. Even after this game, even after
• 1:06:25
  two hundred and seventy eight yards, I know, it's like, oh,
• 1:06:28
  well, he was actually moving the ball down the field. It should be
• 1:06:30
  positive. No, this is the Cincinnati Bengals who've given up all hope after
• 1:06:34
  their quarterback is out for the year. So if anything, this should be
• 1:06:38
  the bare minimum. And they're gonna go up against the Cardinals, Patriots,
• 1:06:42
  Colts. That's kind of iffy, and they're gonna make the playoffs. They're
• 1:06:46
  gonna have nine ten wins. Just do just enough, play great defense.
• 1:06:50
  Maybe they'll upset the Seahawks or the Ravens, one of those two. Maybe
• 1:06:54
  the Ravens they already have the division clinched up and maybe their rest or whatever.
• 1:07:00
  So yeah, they're they're gonna make the playoffs. Here TJ. Watt,
• 1:07:03
  great player defense is great run game. Like you said, it's either
• 1:07:08
  Naji or Jala Warren every other week something like that. It's good Friar move
• 1:07:13
  got back. But yeah, this team, it's there's nothing really I could
• 1:07:19
  take away. It's nothing that I learned from this game. There's nothing.
• 1:07:23
  If even even if Kenny Pickett he had three hundred yards two three touchdowns,
• 1:07:29
  was like, it's about damn time you do something. So yeah, maybe
• 1:07:33
  maybe Kenny Pickett, he'll get better throughout the year. But nothing else I
• 1:07:36
  could really take away from this game right here? Did you want to take
• 1:07:40
  away anything else? All right, well, we'll get into this next game,
• 1:07:45
  in which it was the first Black Friday game, the Miami Dolphins versus
• 1:07:47
  the New York Jets. And what's the Dolphins? They won in dominant fashion
• 1:07:53
  thirty four to thirteen. Right here, Josh, anything you want to take
• 1:07:56
  away from this game. I didn't learn anything, honestly in this game.
• 1:08:00
  I just the Dolphins have a high powered offense against okay teams. If the
• 1:08:05
  Jets, if the Jets, if the Jets don't keep up with them or
• 1:08:10
  give them a little file on offense, the Dolphins are just gonna run away
• 1:08:13
  with it. So it's just this Dolphins team. I still need to see
• 1:08:16
  it, still need to see it against a good football team. Their schedule
• 1:08:20
  coming up Commanders, Titans, Jets. We won't see it till the last
• 1:08:24
  three games of the season when they play the Cowboys, Ravens, and Bills.
• 1:08:28
  So I don't know. This team still kind of is iffy to me.
• 1:08:31
  I'm not sold on the Dolphins. I'm really not Tyreek Hill had over
• 1:08:38
  one hundred yards. That's my rule of thumb. If he has over a
• 1:08:40
  hundred yards, they probably win the football game. And they won the football
• 1:08:43
  game. He had one hundred and two and a touchdown to h looked okay
• 1:08:47
  two forty three one touchdowns. He threw two picks in this game. But
• 1:08:50
  their run game really was really like clicking. I think they had thirty one
• 1:08:58
  rushing attempts with Rahiem and Jeff Wilson junior, and they both combined for one
• 1:09:02
  hundred and fifty rushing yards. So that's good. That's good production from both
• 1:09:06
  your running backs. They get Devon Aachen back this next week. Let's see
• 1:09:10
  if he can stay healthy. Well that's the question for really all these running
• 1:09:13
  backs, if they can stay healthy. But if they if they're running games
• 1:09:15
  clicking, I think this Dolphins teams at its best when their whole offense is
• 1:09:19
  involved. As for the Jets, how did you think it was a good
• 1:09:25
  idea? Be like, yo, Zach Wilson, we're moving on from you.
• 1:09:28
  So we're gonna go to a quarterback who has never thrown more touchdowns than
• 1:09:31
  interceptions. We're just gonna do that. Ever, if he hasn't done it
• 1:09:34
  in college, he didn't play in the Power Five either, he hasn't done
• 1:09:39
  it in the NFL. So this is the guy we're gonna move on to.
• 1:09:44
  We didn't want to call We didn't want to call Joe Flacco. We
• 1:09:45
  didn't want to call Kevin call out of retirement. We didn't want to call
• 1:09:50
  Brandon Whedon. We didn't want to call what yeah, Tony Romo. They
• 1:09:56
  didn't want to call him. What's another Josh McCown off of the he on
• 1:10:00
  the Panthers, they're probably not yeah, yeah, like they were, like
• 1:10:04
  Tim Boyle, that's the guy, right, and he looked terrible. He
• 1:10:08
  looked absolutely terrible. Outside of kind of getting Garrett Wilson involved, there was
• 1:10:14
  nothing to harp on in this game. Breeze Hall got shut down. They
• 1:10:16
  that was the Dolphins whole point of emphasis, shut down Breeze Hall. This
• 1:10:20
  game. Just this. This team isn't going to do anything, and that's
• 1:10:23
  basically what happened. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like you said, nothing
• 1:10:28
  I'm taking away from the Jets other than it's impressive Tim Boyle somehow allowed a
• 1:10:32
  ninety nine yard pick six to happen, or ninety nine yard pick six to
• 1:10:36
  happen at halftime. Yeah, that's the Jets being the Jets. But again,
• 1:10:43
  kind of what I said with the Steelers, nothing I didn't learn.
• 1:10:47
  Offense, they look explosive, but they they could prove this. And Jaylen
• 1:10:53
  Wattle he did get involved right here. I believe he had eight catches one
• 1:10:57
  hundred and thirteen yards. So it's nice that your number two receiver is finally
• 1:11:00
  getting involved. But nothing else I could really take away from this game right
• 1:11:04
  here, so we'll go ahead and move on to this next game, in
• 1:11:06
  which it was the Thanksgiving Games, which is the last three games that we're
• 1:11:11
  going to get into. It was the San Francisco forty nine Ers versus the
• 1:11:15
  Seattle Seahawks, in which the Niners they dominated from start to finish, thirty
• 1:11:19
  one at thirteen and Christian McCaffrey, he had himself a day. What did
• 1:11:24
  you take away from this one? The forty nine Ers are a complete football
• 1:11:31
  team once again. I think it starts with their signature pass rush that is
• 1:11:35
  back, that is back and strong. They started the season off pretty bad
• 1:11:40
  as a pass rush. They only had like I think the average one sack
• 1:11:44
  per game during that span. Yesterday alone, they had why did my notes
• 1:11:49
  so off today? Yesterday alone they had they had six sacks. They had
• 1:11:56
  six sacks, five tackles for lost, and twelve quarterback hits. Is gonna
• 1:12:00
  get the job done, especially against a quarterback like Gino Smith. Gino Smith
• 1:12:02
  is a good quarterback. He's all right, he's gonna get He's gonna fill
• 1:12:05
  in for you, which is why I'm surprised that they didn't go get somebody
• 1:12:09
  in this offseason or try to at least. But if you can pressure Geno
• 1:12:13
  Smith, this team's not gonna do very much. Zach Charbonney look like a
• 1:12:16
  guy that quite wasn't ready for a team like that to go against a team
• 1:12:20
  like the San Francisco forty nine ers. So they really missed Kenneth Walker in
• 1:12:25
  this football game. DK Metcalf, to me, I think is probably one
• 1:12:30
  of the most disappointing football players I think over the last couple of years,
• 1:12:35
  because he has all the size, the ability, the intangibles, but outside
• 1:12:41
  he's a very He has a very high low ceiling for a football player,
• 1:12:44
  like his ceiling could be through the roof. But he continues to not take
• 1:12:47
  over football games Like I don't think I've ever seen a game where I was
• 1:12:49
  like walked away watching, like yo, dk Metcalf was the reason they won
• 1:12:54
  that football game because he only had three for thirty two in this game.
• 1:12:59
  I guess he's playing Arrius Ward, who isn't okay. But when you don't
• 1:13:01
  have a team, when you when you can't really beat these guys and you're
• 1:13:04
  the biggest person out there, what are you doing? Like? I think
• 1:13:09
  there's a lot of things that the Seahawks do right, but in this game,
• 1:13:12
  they didn't do really any of it right. On the other side,
• 1:13:15
  Christian McCaffrey is showing why he's the best running back in all of football.
• 1:13:20
  He's nineteen for one fourteen two touchdowns and five for twenty five receiving. Deebo
• 1:13:26
  Samuel had a pretty good game too. He got a rushing touchdown, seven
• 1:13:30
  for seventy nine through the air. This is where the forty nine Ers are
• 1:13:32
  at their best, and they are a scary team to face when they are
• 1:13:34
  at their best because they are on a roll right now. Yeah, I'm
• 1:13:39
  not gonna lie. I'm shaking in my boots now. San Francisco forty nine
• 1:13:42
  Ers after that three game stretch after the Cowboys, thet hell Yeah. Well,
• 1:13:46
  not that I root against any other team, but it's like, man,
• 1:13:49
  well these Niners they don't look the same one. Now they're back.
• 1:13:53
  There's other teams they're backing better than ever. The Eagles, I'll say,
• 1:13:58
  I'll say the Eagles, but yeah, I know this Niners team. They're
• 1:14:02
  back and they're better than ever. Like you said that that, Oh my
• 1:14:08
  goodness, I completely forgot his name. Chase Young think geez, I couldn't
• 1:14:13
  remember Chase Young him being added to that defense. It just added just a
• 1:14:16
  different level. When now everybody they're getting involved, you're really seeing how good
• 1:14:20
  this defensive line really is and you could win. This is sustainable football right
• 1:14:26
  here, just running the football well with the best running back in the league,
• 1:14:30
  one of the best offensive lines in the league, and just play with
• 1:14:32
  your defense. But again, even though that they could do this, it's
• 1:14:36
  a style that they're winning by. It's just a certain style and nine times
• 1:14:41
  out of ten you'll be able to push around different teams. But we'll see
• 1:14:44
  that next week against Philadelphia on if they could force his style and they're gonna
• 1:14:49
  be able to get their get back. I know there's been a bunch of
• 1:14:51
  talk as far as with Hassan Reddick, Deebo Samuel going back and forth.
• 1:14:56
  If they have Rock Perdy or whatever, we're gonna be able to see and
• 1:15:00
  we'll really be able to see if the San Francisco forty nine ers they're back,
• 1:15:03
  if they're able to dominate the Philadelphia Eagles or even just win the ballgame,
• 1:15:09
  then then I'd really be I'd really be nervous here. But as far
• 1:15:13
  as with Seattle, they have a tough part of their schedule next Even after
• 1:15:16
  they played Dallas, they played San Francisco again, so it's gonna be tough.
• 1:15:21
  Gino Smith again, I said this a couple of weeks back. He
• 1:15:26
  hasn't looked like the same quarterback he was last year. He keeps pressing,
• 1:15:30
  keeps forcing throws. He's not as relaxed, no more so. Yeah,
• 1:15:34
  but that's what happens when you don't have a run game, and you have
• 1:15:39
  plenty of weapons here, so there's no excuse as far as you can't be
• 1:15:43
  thrown to any of these guys. You have Tyler Lockey, Dk Metcalf,
• 1:15:46
  who is kind of disappointing, but you have Jackson Smith and Jigba. You
• 1:15:50
  have your rookie wide receiver and he only gets three targets in this game.
• 1:15:56
  I just think that's not something that you could be doing, and especially with
• 1:16:00
  that high draft capital that used on him. But it's not like the Seattle
• 1:16:03
  Seahawks. I know everybody they said dark horse, but as far as from
• 1:16:09
  from me, I don't know about you, Josh. I didn't think that
• 1:16:11
  the Seattle Seahawks team was, especially at these past few games. I didn't
• 1:16:15
  think that they were gonna pose a real threat as far as Super Bowl contenders,
• 1:16:20
  if that makes sense. I think they had the experience to me to
• 1:16:27
  kind of make a little bit of like a case for being a contender if
• 1:16:31
  they won, if they didn't drop some of the games that they have dropped.
• 1:16:34
  But going forward, I just don't see this team kind of like getting
• 1:16:39
  it together because they have one of the tougher schedules remaining in the NFL.
• 1:16:44
  They have the Cowboys, next, they have the forty nine Ers again,
• 1:16:48
  then the Eagles. Then they have a little break, I guess with the
• 1:16:51
  Titans, but then they play the Steelers again and in the season with the
• 1:16:55
  Cardinals, so they could really, they could really go two and four and
• 1:17:00
  drop to eight and nine. It's very realistical possibility. It probably will happen,
• 1:17:06
  and I would put money on it that it would happen. So it's
• 1:17:11
  just is not looking bright. I think they're gonna have to look for a
• 1:17:15
  quarterback at season's end and maybe move on from a couple pieces and make this
• 1:17:18
  team younger. And Pete Carroll's only getting older. He's the oldest quarter he's
• 1:17:21
  the oldest coach in the NFL, which is pretty surprising. So yeah,
• 1:17:26
  what is he like, seventy seven something like that, anything like that.
• 1:17:30
  He don't look that old either, not he doesn't. But yeah, we
• 1:17:34
  can go ahead and get into this next game. Hold on, wait,
• 1:17:36
  let me let me switch over to my Cowboys hat. I know, I
• 1:17:41
  know you guys can't see it, but I'm switching over to my Cowboys hat
• 1:17:44
  right now. I have my Florida State shout out to Florida State. We'll
• 1:17:46
  talk about them in a second, but yeah, let me switch to my
• 1:17:49
  Cowboys hat. All right, we're good. The Dallas Cowboys America's team.
• 1:17:55
  Everybody, everybody who they watched on Thanksgiving. They kick the Commanders ass forty
• 1:18:00
  five to ten. I'll go ahead and let you go, Josh, what
• 1:18:03
  did you take away from this game? Right here? The Cowboys continue to
• 1:18:12
  beat up on teams that that they should be beating, and they have the
• 1:18:15
  talent to really do this to teams that shouldn't be in the same game with
• 1:18:20
  them. They they I feel like the Cowboys offense has come back down to
• 1:18:26
  earth a little bit over the last couple of games are not as explosive.
• 1:18:30
  You can see in this game that they were really trying the big explosive plays,
• 1:18:32
  like there was a couple of to Ceedee Lamb like do I think like
• 1:18:36
  three or four where he was on vert on a vert and he just beat
• 1:18:40
  his man, but they kind of miscommunicated or deck over through him a little
• 1:18:43
  bit. So they were trying to get the big play and they had it.
• 1:18:45
  So that's just something to watch that once they start hitting those, they'll
• 1:18:48
  they'll look really dominant again on offense. But I think the real takeaway is
• 1:18:54
  this defense. They shut down one of the they didn't they shut down one
• 1:18:57
  of the better passing offenses in the NFL with the Commanders and the shout out
• 1:19:03
  to Dran bland Man. He broke the NFL record for most pick sixes in
• 1:19:09
  the season. I think it was. How old was the record since like
• 1:19:12
  the nineteen three, Yeah, nineteen ninety three, almost thirty thirty years,
• 1:19:17
  pretty much thirty years this record has stood and he broke it. That's that's
• 1:19:21
  not something to laugh at, like, ah, he hasn't done it against
• 1:19:26
  bad teams. You know how hard is to get a pick six in the
• 1:19:28
  NFL, as you know how hard is to get an interception in the NFL.
• 1:19:31
  It's extremely hard. So he did this five times, shout out five
• 1:19:36
  times, so the shout out to him, and that's I don't think we'll
• 1:19:41
  ever see that again, probably not for a while. So look, I'm
• 1:19:45
  not really taking away too much from this game. Cowboys have done what they've
• 1:19:48
  done all year to teams except for the Cardinals, but everyone else, they
• 1:19:54
  they pretty dominated. I just can't wait to see them play the Eagles again.
• 1:19:58
  That's the game I have marked up on the calendar. I'm excited to
• 1:20:00
  watch for that one. Yeah. Well, all right, before I get
• 1:20:04
  into the Cowboys part, because obviously I'm the Cowboys fan. Here, the
• 1:20:08
  Commanders, uh Sam Howe again through the ball forty four damn times? They
• 1:20:14
  weren't. I know that. It's still a touchdown for me man in fantasy.
• 1:20:19
  Wait wait Brian Robbinson, Oh wait wait wait oh oh oh yeah yeaheah,
• 1:20:25
  because you had Brian Robinson got the rusting touchdown. Ye had they got
• 1:20:29
  to the one yard line and we're like, nah, we're going speed option
• 1:20:32
  this thing. And then he just rented in. Bro. I was like,
• 1:20:36
  no, Bro, because I really meant to say, Brian Robinson now
• 1:20:41
  in those leagues. Oh but I forgot, Like I just I just completely
• 1:20:45
  forgot and like he he almost if he had the touchdown, I'll be like,
• 1:20:49
  all right, I'm cool, Like I'm cool with that. But no,
• 1:20:53
  Sam How's a selfish quarterback. That's what he is. Oh now now
• 1:20:58
  you hate Sam How. No, I love Sam, but he's still selfish.
• 1:21:02
  No, but this Commander's team, they're foreign eight. You're I think
• 1:21:06
  you have the sixth overall pick now, so just get some more assets around
• 1:21:12
  this team. Samhow, he is a nice young quarterback. He did show
• 1:21:15
  flashes in this game. Hey, maybe they can get brock Bowers. But
• 1:21:19
  yeah, no, they showed flashes and Samhow he didn't any other than the
• 1:21:23
  pick six, which I think Deron Blant he just made a great play right
• 1:21:27
  there. He was real patient, just taking the check downs, not forcing
• 1:21:30
  anything stupid against the Cowboys defense, who will take advantage of it. But
• 1:21:35
  Doron motherfucking Plan. Defensive player of the year. I don't care. I
• 1:21:41
  said it last week. I said, if he gets another pick six,
• 1:21:44
  he is defensive player of the year in my book. Or MICHAEH. Parsons,
• 1:21:48
  Miles Garrett, T. J. Watt, whoever you want to rank
• 1:21:51
  behind them. It hasn't been done. In history, in NFL history,
• 1:21:57
  the last defensive back to win defensive players the year it will Stefan Gilmour and
• 1:22:01
  you pair them up stat by stat Drohn Bland, he's already blowing them out
• 1:22:04
  the water. So yeah, just let him get another pick six and then
• 1:22:09
  it's pretty much traps right there. I think he could still end up with
• 1:22:12
  another two to three picks right here, because you have the tougher part of
• 1:22:15
  your schedule coming up, so we're gonna see. Yeah. But as far
• 1:22:20
  as from this offense right here, I know you said this offense it did
• 1:22:24
  slow down, But a couple of things that I did see is that obviously
• 1:22:28
  Dak Prescott, he's been good seedon Lamb Brannon Cooks, not necessarily the pass
• 1:22:31
  game, but this run game, it's starting. It's starting to heat hip
• 1:22:35
  now, so five point six yards per carry, eighteen carries, one hundred
• 1:22:40
  yards, Tony Pollard, he keeps looking better and better every single week.
• 1:22:44
  Ric o'dalell. I know he only ran the ball three times, but still
• 1:22:47
  nice change of pace back that he's starting to get more involved. And Mike
• 1:22:51
  McCarthy, I have to give him his props because with Kellen Moore as a
• 1:23:00
  offensive coordinator. There would be games where there's letdown games other than the San
• 1:23:04
  Francisco game, because yes, I know they lost to the Cardinals, but
• 1:23:09
  it's not like the offense they didn't. They weren't moving the ball down the
• 1:23:12
  field. Mike McCarty he has this offense moving very effectively. And Mike McCarthy,
• 1:23:19
  believe it or not, Dak Prescott and Aaron Rodgers had their best years
• 1:23:25
  underneath Mike McCarthy. So he is a better coach than what people want to
• 1:23:28
  say. So just props to him. And I just think that again,
• 1:23:32
  Dak Prescott playing at a different level right now. Uh, Brandon Cooks again
• 1:23:36
  getting more involved. And I'm gonna tell you this name right now. He's
• 1:23:42
  not gonna be a fantasy football name or anything, but Peyton Hendershot a tight
• 1:23:45
  end. He is coming back finally for the first time this year. He's
• 1:23:49
  gonna be real big into this offense right here, because he was the number
• 1:23:54
  two tight end and he is really mobile. He's even I well, Jake
• 1:24:00
  Ferguson. He has gotten better, but as of last year, he was
• 1:24:02
  a better pass catcher than Jake Ferguson and Jake for Ferguson is a pretty damn
• 1:24:08
  good tight end, so that's gonna be a nice piece that you're adding in.
• 1:24:12
  But, like you said, nothing to really take away from this.
• 1:24:15
  We're just really waiting for After you beat Seattle, you're gonna be going against
• 1:24:18
  your tougher schedule. Obviously, you're gonna have Philly that Sunday game. Then
• 1:24:23
  you have the Bills, Dolphins, Lions, and then Commanders again to end
• 1:24:27
  out the year. So we're gonna see how good this team is and if
• 1:24:32
  their pretenders are not. There's nothing else I could really take away from this.
• 1:24:35
  I don't want to get to hype or anything. Uh. I don't
• 1:24:39
  want to say Cowboys are going to the Super Bowl anything. That's no.
• 1:24:42
  I'm I'm too heartbroken for that. So yeah, let's go ahead and get
• 1:24:45
  onto the sea. We'll see. Uh. I don't know, I don't
• 1:24:50
  I don't want to say nothing. I don't want to say nothing. You
• 1:24:55
  can, yeah, you can say that your Chiefs have made it to the
• 1:24:59
  Super Bowl. I don't want to get too optimistic here, but let's talk
• 1:25:02
  about one of the other teams right here, which was the last game or
• 1:25:05
  the first game. It was a Detroit Lions versus the Green Bay Packers,
• 1:25:11
  in which the Packers they won twenty nine to twenty two. Josh, what
• 1:25:15
  did you take away from your beloved dark core Super Bowl team Lions? Before
• 1:25:20
  I dig into them, let me start with the Packers, who I do
• 1:25:24
  like. Also, I had a little bit more hopes for them coming into
• 1:25:28
  the season. But Jordan Love, he's looked good over the last two weeks,
• 1:25:31
  last three weeks, they've kind of picked it up a little bit.
• 1:25:33
  They've kind of allowed this offense to really set in pretty good. Jordan Love
• 1:25:41
  went to sixty eight for three touchdowns. He rushed for three for thirty nine.
• 1:25:45
  He did pretty good. They dictate this game. Christian Watson kind of
• 1:25:48
  showed up in this game. He went five for ninety four in a touchdown,
• 1:25:51
  but most of that came in the first quarter with those three receptions,
• 1:25:56
  I believe on the first drive alone, so I really thought he was in
• 1:25:59
  for a bigger day. But this team had a good all around game.
• 1:26:02
  Jayden Reid is looking like a steal that they got in the second round.
• 1:26:08
  He had four for thirty four, touchdown in the air and then rushing two
• 1:26:10
  for sixteen. He continues to do pretty kind of good things on both sides
• 1:26:14
  with rushing and receiving for Jayden Reid and this Packers defense even without Jaiyi.
• 1:26:17
  Alexander played really well against this Detroit Lions team. I think it's Rashaun Gary.
• 1:26:24
  He had like three sacks in this game. Shoutouts to him. He
• 1:26:28
  really took over in a big way. He forced Jared Goff to fumble a
• 1:26:30
  couple times. So now the Packers they're in the race. They're in the
• 1:26:36
  race to maybe make the playoffs, especially with the loss to the to the
• 1:26:40
  Vikings. They're one game out from being second placed in the division and then
• 1:26:43
  in for two games one and a half games, but they're not that far
• 1:26:46
  out from getting still in that seven seeds, so they could go on a
• 1:26:48
  little bit of run here. But they do play the Chiefs. It's coming
• 1:26:51
  up week, so that's a loss right there. Everything else they're gonna they
• 1:26:55
  have a good They have I think a chance at But as far as this
• 1:27:00
  Lions team, this Lion's team, they didn't outside of Jared GoF fumbling the
• 1:27:08
  ball. They did Lions things, but they did for some dumb fourth down.
• 1:27:13
  They tried going on fourth down a couple times, especially that that fake
• 1:27:16
  fourth, that fake oh at the Packers twenty eight yard line, Like what
• 1:27:23
  were they thinking right there? Like you don't do that in this situation when
• 1:27:27
  you're down in the football game. Like did they think they were up or
• 1:27:30
  something? Like? They just made some mental errors that we I haven't seen
• 1:27:33
  the Lions make. And they look pretty They looked pretty what's the word pedestrian
• 1:27:41
  these last two weeks. They look like just the reg Yeah, like the
• 1:27:44
  regular Lions. Like they need to get back to doing what they were doing
• 1:27:47
  before. I just think they're probably getting a little too cocky, a little
• 1:27:51
  too comfortable. This is what happens with the young team. I feel they're
• 1:27:56
  just trying to do too much, and I think they need to go back
• 1:27:58
  to being that same like offensive, no mistakes of spread, get the ball
• 1:28:02
  to our weapons team because that's how they win football games. I'm not too
• 1:28:06
  worried about them when it comes to the grand scheme of things. I still
• 1:28:11
  I think they which we'll get to in a minute. They have moved down
• 1:28:15
  a little bit in my rankings. Yeah, so until this defense can kind
• 1:28:18
  of get back on track to what they were at the beginning of the season,
• 1:28:21
  there right now, I have the Lions unnotice and have Jered Goff on
• 1:28:25
  them just because what he was doing really well for the last two to three
• 1:28:28
  seasons was not turning over the football. In these last two games, that's
• 1:28:30
  all he's been doing, so he needs to get back on track. But
• 1:28:35
  before I get into the Lions, I just want to say so, I've
• 1:28:39
  been a real big critic of Jordan Love and as far as I even said
• 1:28:43
  Thanksgiving and on, you need to start proving that you are one of the
• 1:28:46
  better quarterbacks and or not necessarily that you're a top ten quarterback or anything that,
• 1:28:51
  but you need to prove that you're one of the better quarterbacks playing right
• 1:28:56
  now. And he has proven that these past few weeks. And I can't
• 1:29:00
  find it exactly right now, but Aaron Rodgers' stats through his first twelve starts
• 1:29:04
  compared to Jordan Love' stats through his first leave start, yeah, damn near
• 1:29:09
  identical. And I even it's crazy to say, and I think I could
• 1:29:14
  confidently say it now. Jordan Love. He will be back next year,
• 1:29:17
  and I think he'll be a guy at least at least bare minimum these next
• 1:29:21
  two years. After this year, he'll be there because he has kind of
• 1:29:26
  proved himself. I know there's still time left and maybe a bunch of stuff
• 1:29:30
  can happen, but he has all the all the tangibles there. He has,
• 1:29:34
  he has that touch, he has a deep throw, and you you're
• 1:29:38
  under a nice scheme under Mount Lafleur, so I can see I can see
• 1:29:43
  him being there in just props to Jordan Love for turning his season around.
• 1:29:47
  But the Detroit Lions, Josh, what have what have I been telling you
• 1:29:54
  these past or even before the Lions started struggling. They're a young team and
• 1:29:59
  they're not compared to the Niners, Cowboys and Eagles, and they're exactly proven
• 1:30:03
  that and they should have lost to the Bears last week too, So they're
• 1:30:09
  starting to trend downwards. Like you said, Jared Golf, he is starting
• 1:30:12
  to turn the ball over. And I know a bunch of people talked about
• 1:30:16
  as far as this defense being better. I don't think necessarily that it was
• 1:30:21
  this defense getting so much better. It's just this defense was terrible last year
• 1:30:27
  and this year they just showed spurts where they were good. And I think
• 1:30:30
  that's what it is. This defense are kind of starting to starting to fall
• 1:30:34
  off. A little bit because since the Chargers game, you gave up thirty
• 1:30:39
  eight, then you gave twenty six up to the Bears, and twenty nine
• 1:30:41
  up to the Packers. I know there's been turnovers involved, but still,
• 1:30:45
  if you want to be that better defense during playoff football, you have to
• 1:30:48
  make those stops turn them in the field goals. So again, I don't
• 1:30:54
  buy the Lions till we see it in the playoffs. And like I said,
• 1:30:58
  they do have kind of a schedule down the stretch because you play the
• 1:31:02
  Saints, Bears, then Broncos, Vikings, and the Cowboys will see then
• 1:31:06
  the Vikings again, so it doesn't look as easy, but you should win
• 1:31:11
  at least three or four of those games. So again, I'm gonna have
• 1:31:15
  to wait until the playoffs to really evaluate this team because there's nothing I could
• 1:31:18
  really take away or say, oh, okay, well this is gonna put
• 1:31:23
  them over the top. It's just something we're just gonna have to wait and
• 1:31:26
  see. Anything else you want to take away from this game, Well,
• 1:31:30
  all right, now that we got done with the Week twelve, we're gonna
• 1:31:34
  go ahead and get into the top five teams in each conference. We try
• 1:31:38
  to do this every two to three weeks something like that. So, yeah,
• 1:31:43
  we're gonna go ahead and get into the next games or not the next
• 1:31:46
  games. The next topic, Josh, did you want to do AFC or
• 1:31:50
  NFC first, I'll do AFC and you do AFC. Then I'll do NFC,
• 1:31:56
  then you do NFC. Cool? Okay, cool, all right,
• 1:31:59
  go ahead, I'll go I'll start from number five today. Oh okay,
• 1:32:05
  yeah, number five different. Yeah, the Houston Texans. Houston Texans are
• 1:32:12
  the fifth best team in the AFC for me, and I don't think we
• 1:32:15
  can really doubt that they aren't over what we've seen the last five weeks,
• 1:32:18
  last four weeks, basically the whole season from c J. Stroud. He
• 1:32:23
  isn't a real quarterback. He is a real problem for teams. He is
• 1:32:27
  here, he is here to stay. I think these offensive weapons are playing
• 1:32:31
  out of their mind. Nico Collins is coming into his own as as their
• 1:32:34
  number one, and then on the other side, Tank Dale's coming into his
• 1:32:39
  own. He's a really talented rookie who has probably been a top three rookie
• 1:32:44
  receiver this year if you really want to sit down and look at it,
• 1:32:46
  he has been. This defense is continuing to like kind of play good underneath
• 1:32:53
  Themico Ryans, which I kind of expected they were. They were a feisty
• 1:32:56
  bunch last year. This year they're continuing in that same path, especially with
• 1:33:00
  the additional Will Anderson junior. So they're my fifth best team in the AFC
• 1:33:04
  for me. For my number four, I have a two way tie between
• 1:33:09
  the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns because they're both teams without a quarterback and really
• 1:33:13
  good defenses. So that's something to monitor right there. They're both probably gonna
• 1:33:17
  end up still making the playoffs because they have they have a good foundation,
• 1:33:23
  they have elite defenses, and then the Steelers still have Mike Tomlin, so
• 1:33:27
  I think they could. They both still could make the playoffs right there.
• 1:33:30
  It's just a matter of saying who's gonna finish on top of one or the
• 1:33:31
  other. As my third seed, I have the Jacksonville Jaguars. They have
• 1:33:35
  really turned it on the last two weeks. Offensively, their defense is still
• 1:33:40
  playing good football. I'm not gonna say great football, but they're playing good.
• 1:33:43
  They get the job done behind Josh Allen and Trayvon Walker, but their
• 1:33:47
  offense with Trevor Lawrence continues to play like this. I don't think this team
• 1:33:51
  could lose too many football games going forward. So that's why they are number
• 1:33:57
  three for me. Number two the Baltimore Ravens. The Baltimore Ravens are the
• 1:34:01
  second best team in the AFC for me. With the loss of Mark Andrews,
• 1:34:06
  it really puts them down a little bit. For me, this offense
• 1:34:09
  isn't as dynamic as it possibly could be. Their running game situation still is
• 1:34:14
  a question mark because one week it could be Gus Edwards, next week it
• 1:34:16
  could be Justice Hill, the next week could be Keaton Mitchell. So it
• 1:34:19
  really all depends on situation. I feel like on how the game script goes,
• 1:34:23
  and I think that's probably a problem because they don't have that one guy
• 1:34:26
  that can just take over like game in game out. We need to see
• 1:34:30
  Lamar Jackson push the ball down the field a little bit more because this is
• 1:34:34
  a conference full of great defenses, and if you're not pushing the ball down
• 1:34:38
  the field against these teams, I really don't see your team going far too
• 1:34:43
  far. But they still have probably the second best defense in the NFL outside
• 1:34:47
  of my number one team, the best defense in the NFL, the best
• 1:34:51
  quarterback on Earth the Kansas City Chiefs, who are the number one team in
• 1:34:56
  the AFC. For me, this offense got back on track against a Raiders
• 1:35:00
  team who was kind of rolling on defense. I'm not going to say they're
• 1:35:02
  the best defense, They're one of the good. They've been good the past
• 1:35:05
  couple of weeks, and they really showed it, especially with Rashid Rice coming
• 1:35:10
  into his own in this last game. He's had a pretty good year leading
• 1:35:13
  up to this point, but he really had the big game, like the
• 1:35:15
  big yardage game that we wanted from him. I think we were going to
• 1:35:19
  continue to see a trend upwards, especially with Kadarius Tony getting healthier. I
• 1:35:23
  think we'll start seeing a little bit more of him integrate into this offense.
• 1:35:27
  And I think that could be a scary thing. Once this Chiefs offense starts
• 1:35:30
  clicking along with his defense. I don't think there's a better team in the
• 1:35:31
  NFL. Well, and that's not me being biased, that's me telling the
• 1:35:36
  truth. Well, all right, let me go in the list my teams
• 1:35:41
  before I start saying anything. So the fifth spot, So what I like
• 1:35:45
  to do. I kind of like to project. I kind of like to
• 1:35:47
  say, all right, well, this team, I feel like they're gonna
• 1:35:50
  get on a roll when they're gonna start making some noise and eventually they'll they'll
• 1:35:55
  earn that fifth spot on my rankings, and that fifth team, it just
• 1:36:00
  it just hurts me to say it. I know that there's the Cleveland Browns,
• 1:36:04
  the Steelers, the Texans. Oh okay, I have to put the
• 1:36:10
  Denver Broncos there. I have to put the Denver Broncos there. I'm I'm
• 1:36:14
  sorry. The way the way they're winning these games, it's very sustainable.
• 1:36:19
  The way they're winning these games, it's very sustainable. You have a good
• 1:36:25
  degreat coach and Sean Payton, Russell Wilson, he is playing smart football.
• 1:36:29
  He's been doing that the entire year. Your defense, it's back, and
• 1:36:31
  arguably, you could say ever since that Miami game, they have been arguably
• 1:36:38
  a top five defense in the league with Pat Certain and all the other guys,
• 1:36:42
  justin Simmons Locke then I can't think some of some of the defensive line
• 1:36:46
  linemen there. But yeah, no, it's just a damn good defense.
• 1:36:50
  And you don't have to score. This offense doesn't have to score many points.
• 1:36:54
  It just it's just real smart football. And number four. I still
• 1:37:00
  have to put the Miami Dolphins up there. Yes, I know they haven't
• 1:37:02
  been a good team. They're they're eight and three. I take my back,
• 1:37:08
  Oh you're putting them, you're putting the Okay, why did I forget
• 1:37:13
  about Miami? Broget about Miami? Yeah? No, I I take back
• 1:37:20
  what I said. Miami is number four. I don't really explain very much.
• 1:37:25
  And then that moves the Stealers and Browns to five for me. So
• 1:37:29
  Texans drop out of my top five. So sorry, guys, I don't
• 1:37:31
  know why right there? Why did I have a brain fart right there?
• 1:37:35
  I don't know clue I thought. I'm like, damn, I'm like,
• 1:37:39
  he just really must not believe in too or anything. I'm like, all
• 1:37:42
  right, well, no, okay, the number they're number four, they're
• 1:37:45
  number four. I'm sorry, guys, but yeah they're number four. Okay,
• 1:37:50
  continued, Yeah, no, you're good. But yeah, I know
• 1:37:55
  the Dolphins they still have too many weapons. Uh, devon a change,
• 1:37:58
  he is coming back. It's x actor. Just prove it against the good
• 1:38:01
  teams. You're you're at number four too. You prove it against the good
• 1:38:04
  teams. Beat a good team and then maybe you could potentially move up to
• 1:38:09
  the three or two. You play the Baltimore Ravens soon, so we'll see
• 1:38:14
  number three. I agree with you on this one, Jacksonville Jaguars. Trevor
• 1:38:17
  Lawrence, how he has been playing this could be very scary for the rest
• 1:38:21
  of the AFC. If he could continue this, then watch out because Travis
• 1:38:27
  etns there, you had Calvin Ridley the defense that still is nice right there.
• 1:38:31
  So yeah, I can't move them up yet because Trevor Lawrence, it
• 1:38:34
  hasn't been as consistent this year as these next two quarterbacks. But number two
• 1:38:41
  and number one, I'm still gonna keep it the same. I'm still gonna
• 1:38:45
  have the Kansas City Chiefs two and the Baltimore Ravens won. And the reason
• 1:38:49
  for that, I feel like the defense it so it's a wash and Mahomes
• 1:38:54
  he is playing, playing better than Lamar Jackson. But I feel like that
• 1:38:58
  Mark Andrews' injury, like you were saying, I don't necessarily say it downgrades
• 1:39:02
  them. I just feel like it puts them on the same level, like
• 1:39:05
  the same playing field as far as their offense, if that makes sense.
• 1:39:10
  And if I had a trust between Travis Kelsey Rashid Rice and then the rest
• 1:39:15
  of the bunch and then Zay Flowers, Odell Beckham the rushing attack. It's
• 1:39:19
  it's pretty much even right there. And I guess this is just me like
• 1:39:25
  going trenches bias. They're able to run the football a little bit more,
• 1:39:29
  control the clock. I know that the Chiefs they can do it, but
• 1:39:31
  the Ravens they could do it almost good. It almost as good as anybody
• 1:39:35
  in the NFL. And that's my top five right there. But so do
• 1:39:45
  you have any arguments as far as for any of that. I know you're
• 1:39:48
  probably gonna argue the Chiefs they should be number one. I do think they
• 1:39:56
  should be number one for everybody. I think it should be a instances at
• 1:40:00
  this point. I think what we saw, what we saw this week is
• 1:40:05
  not I think it's the floor of what the Chiefs should be. Is that
• 1:40:12
  because they didn't really push the ball down the field, and once that starts
• 1:40:14
  getting cracking, once this starts getting moving, I don't think there's gonna be
• 1:40:18
  a team that can stop this team because we've seen them play the forty nine
• 1:40:21
  ers with the forty nine ers at their best, and we've seen them mop
• 1:40:24
  them we've seen them. The only thing we really haven't seen them play is
• 1:40:27
  the Cowboys, and that's just because conferences just don't align and stuff like that.
• 1:40:31
  So every other team they've beaten the Lions. With the Lions on the
• 1:40:35
  other side, they've beaten the Lions, they should have beat noth they haven't
• 1:40:40
  beat They should have beat the Lions. If it wasn't Ric and Darius Tony,
• 1:40:42
  I'll continue harping on that Chris Jones didn't play that game or Travis Kelcey
• 1:40:45
  didn't play that game. That's our number two and number three best players on
• 1:40:49
  our football team that didn't play that game. And then for this one,
• 1:40:54
  they've just con this I think is going to continue to run through Arrowhead.
• 1:40:57
  I don't see the Chiefs giving up this one. I'm not getting this one
• 1:41:01
  seed due to the schedule for both teams coming up. So that's why they're
• 1:41:04
  number one for me, that's my argument. And then for the Dolphins,
• 1:41:08
  I'm sorry I left them off by number four. I don't know how I
• 1:41:11
  forgot about them, but yeah, they're for number four. They have Tyreek
• 1:41:15
  Hill, they have you in the wattle. If this run game can get
• 1:41:17
  going, and if they can get this defense to start shutting down the good
• 1:41:20
  teams and they start winning some major football games, and they may move up
• 1:41:25
  to number three for me. But yeah, right now they're number four.
• 1:41:28
  Do you want me to do NFC right now? Or or do you want
• 1:41:30
  to counterpoint what I said? Nothing I could really disagree on because I could
• 1:41:36
  see I could make I feel like it's Ravens Chiefs one and two then everybody
• 1:41:42
  else. It's kind of like they just fall a tier behind, Like there's
• 1:41:45
  just a big difference, so it's really not much to argue. I could
• 1:41:47
  see, Okay, well, I can see the Chiefs being number one,
• 1:41:50
  So yeah, you go ahead and list your NFC teams. Go ahead,
• 1:41:57
  number five. I think just for the sake of disagreeing with you, because
• 1:42:01
  we kind of talked about it before, I don't know, I kind of
• 1:42:04
  agree. I agree with you for like the most part, but I just
• 1:42:09
  want to be different right now. So I'm gonna go with the the Minnesota
• 1:42:13
  Vikings at number five. I understand they've had these two tough losses, but
• 1:42:15
  they are getting the best receiver in football back, their schedule is still kind
• 1:42:19
  of pretty easy. They're gonna have a rest they're gonna probably reseat this bye
• 1:42:24
  week, They're gonna really evaluate their offense. Their defense has played a lot
• 1:42:28
  better. Their defense started the season kind of rough, but they've ended it
• 1:42:30
  pretty good. With Brian Flores, I think, actually integrating himself into this
• 1:42:33
  defense and like what he believes in, and they're playing pretty good. Okay,
• 1:42:39
  who I would have put here? I would have And I'm not gonna
• 1:42:41
  spoil your pick. I'm just gonna let you keep your pick, so I'll
• 1:42:44
  do that. I just wanted to have a little different from you. Okay,
• 1:42:46
  But this number four spot is gonna hurt me to say this. The
• 1:42:50
  Detroit Lions are the number four team in the NFC. Yeah yeah, yeah,
• 1:42:56
  yeah, they still got am and wrong, my guy. But number
• 1:43:00
  four, their offense is still I still think their offense is really dynamic.
• 1:43:03
  I just think it's a little bit of cleaning up some stuff over the last
• 1:43:06
  couple of weeks, not getting to they they didn't they need to be the
• 1:43:11
  aggressive, the aggressor like they always are. But as far as this defense,
• 1:43:15
  this defense is the problem, I think it's their problem. I think
• 1:43:17
  their offense probably feels like they have to do a little too much, so
• 1:43:20
  they make mistakes, their defense needs to come through and help them out just
• 1:43:24
  a little bit. I'm not asking for shutting down a team to seventeen or
• 1:43:28
  less points, but keep it at twenty one because it's hard for other teams
• 1:43:31
  to hold the Lions underneath twenty one points. So it's just a matter of
• 1:43:34
  keeping it around that twenty one twenty two ish area and let your offense kind
• 1:43:39
  of get the job done. Number three. I have the Dallas Cowboys at
• 1:43:44
  number three. The Dallas Cowboys have been bawling as of late. They've been
• 1:43:47
  probably one of the most high powered offenses I'm gonna say over the last seven
• 1:43:51
  six weeks, but but they have also the losses to the Eagles and the
• 1:43:57
  and the Niners. I need to see them beat the Eagles and I'll maybe
• 1:44:00
  move them up. But as far as that, that's just the separator for
• 1:44:04
  me, really, I and I kind of like what I've seen from the
• 1:44:06
  other two teams the last couple of weeks. The Cowboys have a strong they
• 1:44:12
  they they're definitely Super Bowl contenders. I'm not taking that away from them,
• 1:44:15
  But all three of these teams are that are in this top three. For
• 1:44:19
  I think it's gonna be consensus for both of us who are in the top
• 1:44:21
  three, So the Cowboys are the number three team for me. TP is
• 1:44:27
  getting back on track. This defense is playing good. Durn Blend is playing
• 1:44:31
  like a top five corner in the NFL right now. He's taking a lot
• 1:44:36
  of pressure of Both sides are taking a lot of Okay, go ahead,
• 1:44:42
  both both both corner, both both both sides are taking a lot of pressure
• 1:44:45
  off of each other. So that's helping out quite a bit. As far
• 1:44:48
  as my number two, the San Francisco forty nine ers, they had that
• 1:44:53
  rough stretch. Every team goes through rough stretches, and there's just happened to
• 1:44:56
  be an ugly one they ran. They over these last three games though,
• 1:45:01
  they've really taken over. They've really dominated. They've got this pass russ going
• 1:45:06
  ever since trading for Chase Young, which really helped both booster this already good
• 1:45:11
  defense us and then on the offense, they're clicking. Man, they're healthy.
• 1:45:15
  Triment Williams's back, Deebo's back, Brandi Yuk is there, George Kittle's
• 1:45:19
  gonna have his games, and Christian mccaffery's just showing why he's one of the
• 1:45:23
  best weapons in the NFL and why he's the best running back in the NFL
• 1:45:26
  because he continues to score touchdowns, he continues to be fishing, he continues
• 1:45:30
  to get the job done, and it makes it a lot easier for Rock
• 1:45:32
  Perry to be Rock Party when your team is clicking. And that's why the
• 1:45:35
  forty nine ers are number two for me. Number one has to be the
• 1:45:39
  Philadelphia Eagles for everybody consensus all the way around. I think because they are
• 1:45:44
  ten and one. It's I get I get that they've been in close games.
• 1:45:46
  I get that they're that they're they should have lost to the Chiefs,
• 1:45:50
  get they should have lost the Cowboys, and I get they they probably should
• 1:45:53
  have lost the Bills. But they won the football games. We can't sit
• 1:45:56
  here and say that they didn't. They got the jobs done. They were
• 1:45:59
  the better I'm no, I'm not saying that, but they they got the
• 1:46:01
  job done. They they they're they're ten and one right now, they're sitting
• 1:46:05
  on top of the both NFC and AFC with the first round by They're gonna
• 1:46:10
  have to lose a couple of games for that to change. And I don't
• 1:46:13
  see them losing three games to end the season. So that's why they're gonna
• 1:46:15
  be number one for me. They may end up with the first seed.
• 1:46:18
  And Jalen Her just playing like an m VP right now. He's I'm saying,
• 1:46:23
  like an MVP because we all know who the real MVP is over there,
• 1:46:26
  Patrick Mahon Rescott, but Jayleen No, Jalen Her just playing like the
• 1:46:30
  m v P. Davonte Smith actually is coming back to life. DJ Brown
• 1:46:35
  has digressed a little bit, but Davonte Smith once they're both cooking, that's
• 1:46:40
  gonna be great. I think it's more of a Dallas Goddard being gone type
• 1:46:43
  of thing. But Davonte Smith is bawling right now. This defense is getting
• 1:46:47
  had a little bit, so that's something to monitor. But as of right
• 1:46:49
  now, they are the number one team in the NFC for me, man,
• 1:46:55
  I'm just like you know, in this NFC, I'm it's about to
• 1:46:57
  get messy here, it's about to get messy. I'm I'm ready here to
• 1:47:01
  stir it up a little bit. So number five, I have the Atlanta
• 1:47:05
  Falcons. Again, like I kind of said with the Denver Broncos here kind
• 1:47:10
  of projecting here. You have a soft schedule and you play the Jets next
• 1:47:13
  week, so you should move up to five hundred. You're you've been able
• 1:47:16
  to run the ball. You get Bijon Robinson involved, even if it's a
• 1:47:20
  trio of todder Al gear Cordo Patterson, Bijon that sustainable, you could you
• 1:47:27
  could win some games. Coming up. Number four, I have the Detroit
• 1:47:30
  Lions here. They're in the same spot where I had them again. I
• 1:47:34
  won't move them up kind of you just have to prove yourself in the playoffs.
• 1:47:40
  I think I'll keep them number four, barring anything crazy, say if
• 1:47:44
  they beat the Cowboys week seventeen or one of these three teams they fall off.
• 1:47:49
  But number three, I have the Dallas Cowboys. Number three, the
• 1:47:55
  Dallas Cowboys, I know I had them too the last time, but the
• 1:48:00
  Dallas how was I I have them number three. They lost to the San
• 1:48:03
  Francisco forty nine ers, so they lost to the Eagles again. Those are
• 1:48:09
  those are wins or losses. I feel like they could avenge with the schedule
• 1:48:13
  coming up Seattle Eagles, Buffalo Miami, So those are wins you can avenge
• 1:48:18
  and I could see them moving up, potentially up to number one. Number
• 1:48:24
  two I have the Philadelphia Eagles Number two. Philadelphia Eagles, they're ten and
• 1:48:29
  one. I know, if you want to go look at your USA today,
• 1:48:33
  go look at the standings. Yes, the Philadelphia Eagles will be number
• 1:48:36
  one, but this isn't my criteria or criteria demmit, all right, They've
• 1:48:43
  been outgained every single damn time. Jalen hurts. He is playing like an
• 1:48:46
  MVP candidate. I feel like that's his only reason or he's hiding all of
• 1:48:50
  their flaws right now and that's why he's the MVP candidate. So yeah,
• 1:48:58
  but number one, I have the San Francis Go forty nine ers, San
• 1:49:00
  Francisco forty nine ers. They're dominant, and I just say they could I'll
• 1:49:09
  put it like this, not necessarily that they could beat everybody, but they
• 1:49:13
  could dominate every single team, every single team on any given Sunday, if
• 1:49:17
  that makes sense. And I feel like you're gonna not trying to get into
• 1:49:21
  predictions here, but I feel like you're gonna see something like that coming up
• 1:49:26
  Sunday, so so I'll okay. Maybe it's kind of like these rankings are
• 1:49:31
  kind of helping out the Cowboys because Niners play Eagles, Eagles play Cowboys.
• 1:49:36
  After that, I don't know. I don't know. We'll see, We'll
• 1:49:40
  have to see what their next rankings. But I don't know if you'll disagree
• 1:49:44
  with anything right there, because I feel like the three through five that's kind
• 1:49:47
  of pretty much the same. But yeah, I'm telling you, I just
• 1:49:51
  don't believe in Philly. So that's why I have Philly number two. No,
• 1:49:58
  I don't disagree. I only picked the Vikings because I wanted to be
• 1:50:01
  different from you. I make my own path, you know what I'm saying.
• 1:50:04
  So I chose the Vikings right there. I still think the Falcons.
• 1:50:08
  I think the Falcons are probably the fifth best team. But the thing is
• 1:50:12
  both don't have a quarterback. Who do I trust more, Desmond Ritter or
• 1:50:15
  Josh Doobbs or Nick Mullins. I probably to pick Nick Mullins or Josh Dobbs.
• 1:50:18
  That's that's that's really my opinion. So that's why I have them right
• 1:50:23
  there. They are getting the best receiver and football back at number five with
• 1:50:28
  the with Justin Jefferson's that's a big that's a big addition. I get people
• 1:50:32
  are gonna say Josh Dobbs probably can't throw the ball like Kirk, but I
• 1:50:35
  think Justin Jefferson is one of those players that don't matter who has slinging that
• 1:50:40
  rock, He's gonna get the job done. So number four Alliance, we
• 1:50:44
  both agree. Number three Cowboys. I was super surprised we agree. Yeah,
• 1:50:47
  so they are number yeah yeah so. But the Eagles and Niners,
• 1:50:53
  I'm not mad at it. Forty nine ers I think have the better overall
• 1:50:57
  football team. It's just a matter if they have three losses compared to the
• 1:51:00
  one. That's really big. I think. I think this next game is
• 1:51:01
  gonna really prove, like we said, who is the better team. I
• 1:51:04
  think the Niners are the complete better team. But I just need them to
• 1:51:09
  win a couple more and I will have them above. So if they're playing
• 1:51:13
  like that, I can't deny they're playing like this the rest of the season.
• 1:51:15
  I can't deny who's the best team in the NFC. And then it's
• 1:51:17
  probably gonna be the San Francisco for your nine ers. Mm hmm yeah.
• 1:51:20
  No, Josh, he gets his USA today and just reads and I'm all
• 1:51:26
  right, I can't. I can't sit here in the nicetat man, I
• 1:51:30
  can't sig here in the nighted stats. That's why Bo Jackson's never rushed over
• 1:51:33
  a thousand yards. We're not gonna We're not gonna get involved in this again.
• 1:51:38
  We're not gonna go into We'll always bring this up every single week.
• 1:51:43
  But now that we talked about as far as top five teams in the in
• 1:51:49
  the each conference, uh, we're gonna go ahead and get into some predictions.
• 1:51:54
  And boy oh boy, was that right last week. I'm uh,
• 1:51:58
  I'm telling you one one again and I'm coming back now. It's a four
• 1:52:02
  to two lead. I don't know if anybody's keeping count for two lead.
• 1:52:06
  I'm just letting you know. If you guys want to win money, just
• 1:52:10
  just pick my picks and it's gonna be that simple. So if I feel
• 1:52:15
  like you got something to say, Josh, I just feel like sometimes sometimes
• 1:52:20
  the sometimes when the when the when the number one seeds up on the eighth
• 1:52:27
  seeds, like they gotta let them get a little bit of run sometimes.
• 1:52:30
  So that's all I'm doing right now for you, bro. Well, well
• 1:52:32
  you know what you did then you gave me too much momentum. Now I'm
• 1:52:35
  like, hell yeah, now I could come back now now we're gonna close
• 1:52:39
  out this year. But all right, let's go ahead and get into these
• 1:52:42
  games. It's gonna be the Seattle Seahawks at the Dallas Cowboys Thursday Night Football,
• 1:52:47
  the very first game. What do you got, Dallas Cowboys? Dallas
• 1:52:54
  Cowboys. Well, give me the Cowboys too. That's pretty obvious right there.
• 1:52:58
  Then we're gonna get into the twelve games. It's the Indianapolis Colts at
• 1:53:02
  the Tennessee Titans. Who do you having this one? The Indianapolis Colts.
• 1:53:08
  Give me the Colts too. The Los Angeles Chargers at the New England Patriots.
• 1:53:14
  The Los Angeles Chargers, Give me the Chargers too. The Detroit Lions,
• 1:53:18
  your dark horse team at the New Orleans Saints. Detroit Lions, Nah,
• 1:53:27
  give me the Lions. I was thinking about New Orleans, but like
• 1:53:29
  NA, never se You're crazy. I don't know. I was just thinking.
• 1:53:35
  I was just thinking I still picked the Lions. Atlanta Falcons at the
• 1:53:40
  New York Jets. Honestly, nah, give me the Falcons. I can't
• 1:53:50
  trust that quarterback. The quarterbacks on the other side, I was just saying,
• 1:53:54
  those team is good enough to shut down the Falcons completely. But it's
• 1:53:58
  just then the quarterback on Jets just aren't doing it for me, so give
• 1:54:00
  me the Falcons. Yeah, no, give me the Falcons here. I
• 1:54:03
  put them as my fifth rink team. I better pick them this next then
• 1:54:06
  week. But next we have the Arizona Cardinals at the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mister
• 1:54:13
  Kenney, two gloves. Give me mister Murray again. I'll take you all
• 1:54:24
  right, Well, this is where you mess up right here. Give me
• 1:54:27
  the Pittsburgh steel Does. Give me mister two gloves right here. He's gonna
• 1:54:30
  take a gamble, man. Sometimes you gotta take a gamble. Hey,
• 1:54:33
  I appreciate that gamble right there. But next we have the Carolina Panthers at
• 1:54:40
  your guy Baker Mayfield House. Oh, give me the Buccaneers, man,
• 1:54:47
  Yeah, no, give me. Give me the Buccaneers here too. Miami
• 1:54:50
  Dolphins at the Washington Commanders. It's a little tougher game than I think.
• 1:55:00
  I'm not gonna lie, I was kidding. Cameron Crow. Cameron Crow up
• 1:55:03
  against Tyreek Hill. Who do I think the man? Yeah, give me
• 1:55:11
  the Dolphins here in this one too. Next we get into the three o'clock
• 1:55:14
  games. This is where it could start getting interesting. Right here. The
• 1:55:17
  Denver Broncos at the Houston Texans. Who do you have Texans. Forget the
• 1:55:24
  Broncos, man, give me the Texas Broncos country. That's right, you
• 1:55:30
  know the Dems Right here, Russ is about to be cooking. I'm telling
• 1:55:33
  you he doesn't cook him. I'm telling you Stroud. He cooks like like
• 1:55:39
  something extravagant. Russell Wilson cooks ground beef and potatoes, cooks something that never
• 1:55:45
  makes a me. That buffet. He cooks that buffet king like it's been
• 1:55:51
  sitting out for twenty twenty minutes, for forty minutes, down to the last
• 1:55:57
  sushi. You know, you just gotta grab that's he cooks. Track.
• 1:56:02
  No, it's that ground beef and potatoes. There's nothing, there's nothing special.
• 1:56:06
  You're you're not like, ah, it's ground beef potatoes. Like it's
• 1:56:11
  ground beef potatoes. Man, it's pretty good. It's something with it,
• 1:56:15
  nor a tortilla with the ground beef potatoes. Just straight, just straight ground
• 1:56:19
  beef. That's what he cooks. Don't even put the if he does have
• 1:56:23
  a tortao, he doesn't even warm it up on the stove either, like
• 1:56:26
  he just yeah, all right, next game, we have the Cleveland Browns
• 1:56:35
  at the Los Angeles Rams. The Cleveland Browns. Give me the Rams in
• 1:56:43
  this one. I'm telling you they don't. They don't have a quarterback yet.
• 1:56:46
  I don't know if Joe Flacco is playing. So give me the Rams
• 1:56:50
  right here, I have time, give me the Rams. I'm switching to
• 1:56:54
  the Yeah, I'm gonna switch to the Rams, all right. The next
• 1:56:59
  one, right here, we have the San Francisco forty nine ers, like
• 1:57:01
  we were talking about, versus the Philadelphia Eagles and Philly. Who do you
• 1:57:04
  got the San Francisco forty nine ers? Give me the field held on.
• 1:57:13
  Give me the San Francisco forty nine ers in this one. Man. Honestly,
• 1:57:16
  I'm not gonna lie. You know how you're watching the Bengals and Bill's
• 1:57:19
  game. You're just like, I hope all of these teams just find a
• 1:57:23
  way to lose. This is exactly how I'm feeling. I'm, if anything,
• 1:57:27
  I'm hoping for a tire right here. Something. But all right,
• 1:57:30
  I don't know if I said, yeah, give me the Niners. The
• 1:57:32
  next we have Josh's team versus the Kansas City I'm just kidding, Kansas City
• 1:57:39
  at Green Bay in lambeau Field. Who do you have in this one?
• 1:57:45
  Give me my boys, my cheese the Kingdom. Yeah, no, I
• 1:57:50
  think this is pretty obvious right here. He's playing, or he's starting to
• 1:57:55
  play on a different level right now. Give me Jordan, I'm just kidding.
• 1:57:59
  Give me Patrick right here. Yeah, I know they they should win,
• 1:58:02
  but I think it's gonna be a closer game than what you think because
• 1:58:05
  Jordan Love has been playing some good football. Or you know what, you
• 1:58:10
  know what, I feel like being risky here. I feel like being risky
• 1:58:14
  right here, you know what, give me or love and give me give
• 1:58:16
  me Jordan Love and the Packers right here. It may be so stupid,
• 1:58:20
  but your funeral. Yeah, hey, Trim McDuffie about to come for like,
• 1:58:26
  come down the middle and just lay one on him. Bro. Watch
• 1:58:30
  Hey, like you said, you gotta take some gambles here, and that's
• 1:58:33
  what I'm doing. Then the Monday night Brow the Raiders were setting alignment for
• 1:58:38
  Trip mcduffy this week, Like they had a linement identify Trim McDuffie and try
• 1:58:42
  blocking him. Yeah, like every time Trim mcduffy looked like he was gonna
• 1:58:45
  blitch, Like he just called like he just put a hand on the guy,
• 1:58:48
  and it's like, look for Trip McDuffie to block him, Like,
• 1:58:51
  how do you look for a dB like to block? Jeez, he's almost
• 1:58:57
  as good as dron Blan. I'm just kidding, but yeah, no,
• 1:59:02
  Right now, then we have the Monday night football game, the Cincinnati Bengals
• 1:59:08
  at the Jacksonville Jaguars. Who do you have in this one? Give me
• 1:59:16
  you think about the bounty? I'm just kidding, give me, give me
• 1:59:19
  the Jaguars. Bro, No Jaguars. I was like, no way,
• 1:59:24
  this dude's for real. Nah, give me the Jaguars in this one too.
• 1:59:28
  And all right, guys, whenever the Packers they upset the Chiefs,
• 1:59:30
  I don't want to hear anybody saying, oh well this is crazy. Now
• 1:59:33
  you're gonna be like, oh no, well the guy from the so called
• 1:59:36
  Sports Channelist podcast he called it so yeah. But all right, now that
• 1:59:43
  we talk some NFL, we're gonna go ahead into get or go ahead and
• 1:59:46
  get into some college football. And the college football rankings they just came out
• 1:59:51
  right now or not right now today because we're recording this on Tuesday. So
• 1:59:59
  the rankings they're Georgia, Michigan, Washington, Florida State, Oregon, Ohio
• 2:00:03
  State Texas Bama. That's the topic right there, all of the teams that
• 2:00:06
  have real chances. So the first game it was Georgia. They'd beat Georgia
• 2:00:15
  Tech thirty one to twenty three. Were you impressed from this game right here,
• 2:00:18
  Josh or or how'd you feel about this game? I don't feel too
• 2:00:27
  much. I just think Georgia's just doing kind of what they've been doing all
• 2:00:30
  year. They kind of like it's a rivalry game. I understand, but
• 2:00:33
  it's also like you should be dominating this team, but they're still Georgia.
• 2:00:39
  They're still the favorites, I think. So they got the job done,
• 2:00:42
  they did what they needed to do. That's that's really what I take away
• 2:00:45
  from that game. Mhm. Yeah, No, I feel like the biggest
• 2:00:48
  thing as far as with Georgia for me because now I'm really starting to get
• 2:00:53
  into college football and I'm trying to watch these games. Georgia, if you
• 2:00:58
  have a good run game, they could he ran on Georgia Tech. They
• 2:01:00
  round the ball forty four times, two hundred five yards four point seven yards
• 2:01:03
  of carry. So this isn't the same vaunted defense that it once was.
• 2:01:09
  So yeah, I'm not saying they shouldn't be number one, but just something
• 2:01:13
  look out for. Then we'll go in and go to the number two ranked
• 2:01:18
  team in which it was a game that everybody was hyped for. We both
• 2:01:21
  pick picked Ohio State in this one. Michigan. They beat Ohio State.
• 2:01:27
  They beat them thirty to twenty four. Anything you took away from this game
• 2:01:30
  right here, sadness hurt. No, honestly, Michigan's run game with Blake
• 2:01:42
  Krum is great. Like it's a he can get the jaw. He's a
• 2:01:45
  nasty little guy man like he can just he just runs through you. He
• 2:01:50
  gets like he has a speed. He's a good he's a good running back.
• 2:01:54
  He's gonna be a second rounder in the NFL. And this I think
• 2:01:59
  he's gonna go in the same in or third round coming up in the draft.
• 2:02:00
  He's really if you keep giving the ball to him, he'll get jobs
• 2:02:04
  done. JJ McCarthy low key, he's slipping. He's slipping. He's not
• 2:02:09
  gonna be a first rounder. I don't think he's gonna be a first rounder
• 2:02:12
  man, because he's a little too nice for me in them interviews. He
• 2:02:15
  don't got that dog he and he just and then I don't think they rely
• 2:02:23
  on him, and I don't think he's relied on enough in college football to
• 2:02:26
  take over games. So that's something to watch for because getting into these playoffs,
• 2:02:30
  man, he's gonna have to get into some shootouts. I feel like,
• 2:02:32
  yeah, and if they do make it, so it's just a I
• 2:02:36
  don't know, that's something to monitor right there. But as for Ohio State,
• 2:02:40
  I hope they can find a way to squeak in. I'm sorry,
• 2:02:43
  mister Florida State over here, but I kind of hope Ohio State gets in
• 2:02:47
  because I think mister Marvin Harrison Junior deserves another crack at Georgia. They just
• 2:02:54
  didn't get him. I just don't think Ohio State got him involved enough in
• 2:02:57
  this game. They kind of looked for him at the end and it was
• 2:02:59
  a little too late. Yeah, it was weird. They it was a
• 2:03:03
  it was just a weird style of offensive were playing and then at the end
• 2:03:06
  they're like, oh, maybe give it to the best receiver in the country.
• 2:03:10
  We'll start doing stuff. But like you said, the run game,
• 2:03:13
  But there's a sat that I wanted to bring up. So the past twenty
• 2:03:16
  two years in the rivalry, whoever had more rushing yards. They ended up
• 2:03:21
  winning the ball game, and Michigan they'd done that the past three years.
• 2:03:27
  In these past so in these past three years, they've been averaging per carry
• 2:03:31
  six point one yards per carry running the ball. So like you always say,
• 2:03:36
  it's in the trenches, and that's exactly what they're doing in And then
• 2:03:40
  Blake Koram, like you said that, dude, he's just a straight up
• 2:03:43
  dog. So yeah, next game we had straight up bug. I never
• 2:03:49
  heard that one before. All right, next one we have Washington. They
• 2:03:57
  barely be Washington State and would they won twenty four to twenty one game one
• 2:04:01
  in field goal? Anything that you took away from this game? Do you
• 2:04:04
  think that Washington they're starting to slip off a little bit? I think just
• 2:04:10
  a little bit. Over the last two games. They haven't looked as high
• 2:04:12
  or the last couple of games. Actually more than that, like last three
• 2:04:15
  games, I'd say they haven't looked as dominant as they were to start the
• 2:04:17
  season. And I thought, I kind of think that's something to monitor because
• 2:04:23
  they barely beat Oregon the last time they played, and it was basically just
• 2:04:27
  because Oregon made a couple of dumb mental errors with the fourth downs that they
• 2:04:30
  went for, like not punting or not going for a field goal in certain
• 2:04:32
  situations. So they're gonna have to really step up because I don't think there's
• 2:04:36
  really much excuses when you have when you have a Romo Dunce, when you
• 2:04:43
  have a Jalen Polk on your on the outsides. And then Michael Pennixy needs
• 2:04:48
  to really get his weapons involved a lot more than when he's been doing these
• 2:04:51
  last couple of games. And Oregon is probably the hottest offensive team in football
• 2:04:56
  in college football right now. With Troy Franklin, Bucky Irving and Bo Nicks
• 2:05:00
  the oldest, these two old quarterbacks are gonna have to battle each other's two
• 2:05:03
  ancient times man and once again, which is why I don't understand why we're
• 2:05:08
  not seeing Michigan and Ohio State when we get to watch Washington Oregon again.
• 2:05:13
  But you know, I don't make If I did, it'd be totally different.
• 2:05:16
  We got tight End University over here going against Marvin Harrison, jun you're
• 2:05:20
  gonna make a bucca. But but as far as Oregon and Washington is coming
• 2:05:26
  up, man, that game is gonna be really big for a lot of
• 2:05:29
  teams. So we'll see what happens right there. Yeah, I know it
• 2:05:32
  is gonna be real big and nothing really else. You pretty much said everything
• 2:05:38
  just Romeo Adonze that that dude's just something else, And I think, hell
• 2:05:45
  no, I was gonna say this. I honestly think that he's not gonna
• 2:05:49
  go out of the top five. That that may sound crazy, I think
• 2:05:54
  it's I think it's gonna be a quarterback, a quarterback tackle. So let's
• 2:05:59
  just say, kleb. I can't think of the tackle from Penn State.
• 2:06:02
  And then I feel like the quarterbacks. You think he goes in to slip
• 2:06:08
  I like ten to twelve range or like eight to twelve range. I give
• 2:06:12
  him that. I can't see it the way he's been bawling lately, like
• 2:06:17
  it's just crazy. But we'll get into that Oregon game in a second.
• 2:06:20
  But let's go and get into this fourth team right here, the one without
• 2:06:26
  Jordan Travis, the one that went into the damn swamp went into game.
• 2:06:30
  Road Maker, Yeah, mister Tate, roadmaker, dog, Trey Benson,
• 2:06:36
  dog, Jared Verse dog. But they won twenty four to fifteen. I'll
• 2:06:42
  go ahead and let you say what you gotta say. Anything you took away
• 2:06:45
  from this guy. Yeah, after the game, they interviewed Keon Coleman in
• 2:06:50
  one of the interviews that I saw on TikTok. I kind of one him
• 2:06:54
  as a Chief. He looks a little he sounds a little slow when he
• 2:06:56
  speaks. I wonder if he can process the NFL offense, especially the Chiefs
• 2:07:00
  offense. So I'm kinda he kind of dropping in my boards right now.
• 2:07:03
  He's dropping really really hard in my bowl, in my in my boards,
• 2:07:08
  like he just kind of a little slow, like got a little hit of
• 2:07:11
  that, little hit of that, you know what I'm saying. But outside
• 2:07:15
  of that, I think Florida State they have a really good offense. I
• 2:07:21
  think a roadmakers paving his own way, no pun intended. But Trey Benson's
• 2:07:29
  a dog. He gets the job done. I just they're playing Louisville.
• 2:07:34
  They should win that game, which I think they'll get into the College football
• 2:07:38
  Playoff. But in the but a part of me wants them to get upset
• 2:07:41
  because I want to say Ohio State in there for some reason, I do,
• 2:07:45
  But Florida State they're They're more likely or not they're gonna be in this
• 2:07:49
  college football Playoff and get blown out by Georgia, but or we'll be there
• 2:07:55
  just well that's a that's a that's a topic for another day. But yeah,
• 2:07:59
  they look good. That's all I gotta say. On Keyon Coleman after
• 2:08:03
  hearing him talk kind of for the first time. So I'm leave it up
• 2:08:07
  to you, the Florida State expert. That's interesting analysis right there about I
• 2:08:13
  need big brains within Andy raids ofphense big brains only well, hey, I'll
• 2:08:18
  tell you what big bodies big brains. Hey, he's the one that he
• 2:08:22
  played a key factor into us winning. And as far as everybody's saying Florida
• 2:08:28
  State, oh, they shouldn't be on the college football playoffs, they shouldn't
• 2:08:31
  be They shouldn't be there because they're gonna get blown out. No, they
• 2:08:35
  won't. I'll say that. I'm not saying that they're gonna win against Georgia
• 2:08:39
  or Michigan or anybody, but they won't get twenty one. Okay, Okay,
• 2:08:45
  let me clarify. It's gonna be a close game throughout. Throughout most
• 2:08:48
  of the game, people they're saying, Okay, what's up, question,
• 2:08:54
  what's up? Do you think this team is better than TCU last year?
• 2:09:00
  Yes, even with yes, I think that they're better than TCU. Yeah,
• 2:09:05
  Quintin Johnston, Kendre Miller, all them boys. Max Duggan was a
• 2:09:11
  baller in college. Okay, I'm just trying to list off the top of
• 2:09:16
  my head. Jared Verse, Johnny Wilson, Kean Coleman, Trey Benson,
• 2:09:20
  Jahean Bell. Uh no, no, but those are all guys that are
• 2:09:30
  going in the top three rounds on draft boards. Yeah that's not okay,
• 2:09:33
  I get you. So there's a bunch of talent on this team. Obviously
• 2:09:37
  losing Jordan Travis that's a big thing. But the reason why I'm saying that
• 2:09:41
  we have a chance is because not necessarily that that TCU team like where light
• 2:09:46
  years better Georgia. They're not the same damn team. If anything. I'll
• 2:09:50
  tell you this coming from a Florida State fan, who we actually have a
• 2:09:52
  shot of making the college football playoffs. Yeah, I'm afraid of I'm afraid
• 2:09:58
  of Michigan, those all the rest of the teams and who could make the
• 2:10:01
  college football playoffs I'm not scared of because Okay, so Georgia, do you
• 2:10:09
  really trust him that much more than Roadmaker or Carson Carson Beck that's his name,
• 2:10:15
  Jaln Milrow, quinn Ewers. He hasn't been the best. Michael Pennix,
• 2:10:18
  He's been up and down. I'm telling you bow Knicks and JJ McCarthy.
• 2:10:22
  I'll trust Michael Pennick. Yeah, go ahead. I trust Oregon and
• 2:10:26
  Washington more than I trust for the state, to be honest. But I'm
• 2:10:30
  telling you it's not like I'm saying, this is not that much of a
• 2:10:33
  gap and this deepap mm hmm. That's what I'm saying. It's not it's
• 2:10:39
  not that much of a big gap. And if Trey Benson before I get
• 2:10:43
  off topic, Trey Benson nineteen carries ninety five yards, three touchdowns, five
• 2:10:46
  point yards or five yards of carry. That dude was balling. Jared Verse,
• 2:10:50
  who's putting himself as far as in the category for being one of the
• 2:10:56
  best defensive linemen coming into this draft. He had three times or three solo
• 2:11:01
  tackles, two and a half sacks, three tackle for losses, and two
• 2:11:03
  of those sacks were on the last drive. So he really stood on business
• 2:11:07
  right there and just took care of Shaheen Brown a Keem Dent. Those guys
• 2:11:11
  were just ballers right there. Kaylin DeLoach had the game stealing interception. It
• 2:11:18
  looked like everything was going bad for Florida State in the first half, and
• 2:11:20
  then Florida State did what Florida State did, and I think bias decided.
• 2:11:26
  Especially if Florida State they win this next game, I think Mike Norvelle he
• 2:11:31
  should win Coach of the Year because as far as from we were supposed to
• 2:11:35
  have expectations, but not expectations to be one of the best teams in the
• 2:11:41
  country, if that makes sense. So I think that Florida State they're gonna
• 2:11:46
  make the college football playoffs. But before we get more off topic, let's
• 2:11:50
  go and talk about the five six seven or five six, seven and eight
• 2:11:54
  team. So Oregon maybe Oregon State thirty one to seven. Texas they beat
• 2:12:01
  Texas Tech fifty seven to seven. Sorry, Josh, I know you're kind
• 2:12:03
  of a Tech fan and them. Would they beat Aubura in twenty seven to
• 2:12:07
  twenty four? Did any of those games stand out to you? Were you
• 2:12:11
  impressed by any of those games right there? Honestly, I wasn't impressed by
• 2:12:16
  Texas. They were supposed to do that. No, Honestly, I think
• 2:12:24
  all these games for every team in the top eight were pretty much closer than
• 2:12:28
  most of them wanted to admit or wanted wanted wanted it to be in the
• 2:12:31
  games that they were playing. Because Auburn just got beat by who they get
• 2:12:35
  beat by last week. That was like surprising. I don't even know why,
• 2:12:41
  I know it. I know it wasn't a very good m it was
• 2:12:48
  and it was A and M last week the week before that, Yeah,
• 2:12:54
  it was A and M. They lost. They lost to A and M.
• 2:12:58
  But like, oh wait, they lost New Mexico State, Mexico State,
• 2:13:01
  That's what it was. They lost to a D two D one football
• 2:13:05
  team. So that's why I was surprised that I was surprised that this game
• 2:13:11
  was a little bit close with Bama. But I think some of these games
• 2:13:16
  have a lot of implications coming forward. Like let's say Bama beat Georgia,
• 2:13:22
  that Texas getting because they beat Bama but they lost to Oklahoma, so it's
• 2:13:26
  a little weird situation. Mm hmm. Okay with that, Okay, I'll
• 2:13:35
  see this, go ahead, go ahead, I'll let you finish, go
• 2:13:37
  ahead. Okay. So with that, an Oregon, if Oregon beats Washington,
• 2:13:41
  organs in for sure. Yeah, like there's no question about it.
• 2:13:45
  Organ's getting in. I just think in Ohio State, man, them not
• 2:13:48
  playing in this in this championship games, it's screwing them over because they are
• 2:13:54
  a thousand times better football team than Iowa, like, so that's kind of
• 2:14:00
  messed up. I think on my end, I think they should be playing
• 2:14:03
  round two right now with Michigan versus Ohio State. Whoever wins this football game
• 2:14:07
  gets in because there's the championship, it has much higher stakes. I don't
• 2:14:11
  think Iowas be playing in the in that championship game, but that's just how
• 2:14:15
  the cookies fail. So I think Hoiwo State's already just been ruled out,
• 2:14:18
  Like, I just don't see unless Georgia loses and maybe and then obviously if
• 2:14:24
  Michigan maybe loses, like that's the only way they get in. I feel
• 2:14:28
  so yeah, I don't know. It's a weird situation. The only thing
• 2:14:31
  I had a question was like, let's say Georgia beats Texas, beats Bama,
• 2:14:35
  or Bama beats Georgia, this Texas get in, which I doubt that
• 2:14:39
  happens. But that's a hypothetical right there. But okay, I have to
• 2:14:43
  say this so not that there's any any team that's confident or like for sure,
• 2:14:48
  I think Michigan's going to be Iowa. I think that's pretty obvious right
• 2:14:52
  there. And I think Florida State they should take care of Louisville. So
• 2:14:56
  you already have two spots wrapped up, and the Oregon in Washington that one
• 2:15:01
  you're basically saying, whoever wins that game, they're gonna get in because Washington,
• 2:15:05
  if they beat Oregon, they're undefeated, impressive resume. Oregon, if
• 2:15:09
  they beat Washington, they make up for the loss against Washington, so they're
• 2:15:13
  in. So Okay. I don't know if this sounds crazy, but I
• 2:15:18
  think if Bama beats Georgia, and even if Texas they take care of business,
• 2:15:24
  I feel like they would have to blow the doors off of Oklahoma State
• 2:15:28
  to get in. Because Bama, I feel like you could make up for
• 2:15:31
  that loss losing to Texas because Texas is so high. So you could say,
• 2:15:35
  all right, well Texas, they are a top team and you lost
• 2:15:39
  to them, but you just beat the number one team in the country,
• 2:15:41
  So how can you leave them out? You know what I mean? So
• 2:15:45
  yeah, and it's not like, let's be real so I know a couple
• 2:15:50
  people that are Texas fans. Texas, I'm saying this, even if they
• 2:15:54
  get into the college football playoffs, you're you're gonna be just as good as
• 2:16:00
  Florida State would be in the playoffs. Yeah, they have no chance of
• 2:16:05
  winning. And I know you could say, oh well, radiance, because
• 2:16:07
  Texas will be back in the playoffs. I don't care if you really care
• 2:16:13
  about, if you really cared about as far as the best teams, it
• 2:16:18
  would be Georgia, Michigan, Oregon, and then Ohio State if you really
• 2:16:24
  would like, if you really want to do that, But it goes into
• 2:16:28
  resumes and as far as that. So that's why Florida State they're up there,
• 2:16:31
  That's why Washington they're up there. And it's just it's just how it
• 2:16:35
  is. But I wanted to do some Texas blowing out Oklahoma State either exactly.
• 2:16:41
  They they never I don't think there's Gordon Dog yeah, and I don't
• 2:16:48
  think that Oklahoma State they've never beat or they've never lost to Texas, like
• 2:16:52
  by twenty plus points or something like that, you know what I mean.
• 2:16:58
  So, yeah, I know we usually don't do pick thems for college football.
• 2:17:01
  This is just kind of for fun right here. So we'll just pick
• 2:17:05
  these championship games right here, just just for one. Yeah, yeah,
• 2:17:11
  give me Liberty. Hell yeah, give me Tulane too, tu Lane.
• 2:17:16
  They should be in the college football playoffs too, damn it. But all
• 2:17:22
  right, Uh, the first game we're gonna start start off with. It's
• 2:17:24
  a Pac twelve championship, Washington versus Oregon. Who do you have in this
• 2:17:30
  one? Oregon? They're a nine and a half point favorite. All right,
• 2:17:33
  Well, I don't know if y'all can hear me, but let's just
• 2:17:35
  get into some rankings I have right here. All right, he's back,
• 2:17:39
  He's back, He's back. You kind of froze for a little bit,
• 2:17:41
  did I first? Yeah? No, you froze to me. So I
• 2:17:46
  just said Washingtons top five receivers. My bad. No I didn't. I
• 2:17:52
  didn't even hear you. But you heard what I said. As far as
• 2:17:56
  the predictions, right or no, Yeah, we can do predictions, all
• 2:18:00
  right. Well, the first one we'll start off with is the Pac twelve
• 2:18:03
  Championship. It's Washington versus Oregon, and Oregon they're a nine and a half
• 2:18:07
  point favorite. I get both sides have a future chief on their team with
• 2:18:15
  Troy Franklin and Remo Duns. But I'm gonna go Washington in this game.
• 2:18:20
  I have to pick the better receiver that I think the better quarterback in my
• 2:18:24
  opinion. I get Boix's balling, but I like Michael Pennicks just a little
• 2:18:28
  bit more, and I think I'm gonna that's what i'mnna take'm gonnake Washington in
• 2:18:31
  this game. Give me, give me organ in this one. I feel
• 2:18:35
  like Oregon. They're they're pissed after the way they lost last time, so
• 2:18:37
  they're gonna be standing on business. So all right, next one, it's
• 2:18:43
  the ACC Championship game. I think you already know where I'm leaning towards here.
• 2:18:46
  It's Florida State versus Louisville. Who do you have in this one?
• 2:18:52
  I'm gonna do Florida State. I think Florida State has the weapons. They
• 2:18:54
  have the keyon Coleman's of the world and the Trade Vinson's of the world.
• 2:19:01
  So that's who I'm gonna go with. Mm hmm, yeah, No,
• 2:19:03
  give me a Florida State in this one. Bolt take Tate road to Maker.
• 2:19:07
  He has three hundred passing yards plus, so he's gonna be putting on
• 2:19:11
  a showcase. Next game we have for the Big twelve Championship, it's Texas
• 2:19:18
  versus Oklahoma State. Who do you have in this one? I like Alli
• 2:19:24
  Gordon a lot, but I'm gonna go Tech. Are you gonna do it?
• 2:19:28
  They are gonna take the salty, like the salty approach, like,
• 2:19:31
  oh no, they whoop text. So I'm picking Oklahoma State. Nah,
• 2:19:35
  I'm not. I'm not dumb, So i'ma go with Texas. Yeah,
• 2:19:41
  no, give me Texas in this one, but I think it's gonna be
• 2:19:43
  a close game down to the wire. Then this next game right here,
• 2:19:48
  which SEC championship game, it's Bama versus Georgia. And Georgia oh dang,
• 2:19:54
  it's in. It's in the Atlanta Atlanta Stadium, so it's basically a home
• 2:20:01
  game for Georgia where they are six point favorites. So who do you have
• 2:20:03
  in this one? The University of Alabama. Oh see, I was thinking
• 2:20:11
  about picking Bama too, you know you know what? Nah, Now give
• 2:20:18
  me Bama on this one, give me Bama in this one too. Well,
• 2:20:22
  let me go in and say this next game. Let me go in
• 2:20:24
  and say this next game before we kind of get off topic here after we
• 2:20:28
  said that. So number two Michigan versus Iowa the Big Ten Championship, who
• 2:20:35
  do you have in that one? Tiden university? And I'm just kidding,
• 2:20:39
  I'm gonna go with Michigan. Man. Imagine if Michigan they lose after beating
• 2:20:43
  Ohio say, oh my gosh, that Ohio State would culture you lost to
• 2:20:52
  Michigan. So how could how could you get in? Because Ohio State would
• 2:20:56
  have lost to Iowa? Man, That's why college football. Bro. Like
• 2:21:03
  everyone that tries arguing me that call, I get you might be one,
• 2:21:07
  but I tries to arguing with me that college football is better than the NFL.
• 2:21:09
  It's not. It's not better than the NFL. The quality of play
• 2:21:13
  isn't better the the It doesn't make any sense. Like it doesn't make any
• 2:21:18
  sense to me. But I'm ready for that twelve team college football Playoff because
• 2:21:24
  that's coming in next year and you're really going to see like just the to
• 2:21:28
  then we're gonna have University of Texas San Antonio in there because they won the
• 2:21:35
  Sun Belt Conference or whatever, you know. So we're getting whooped by freaking
• 2:21:41
  Georgia by thirty five, Like in the first having players like on the caliber
• 2:21:48
  of Calvin Ridley and Sony Michelle going up against future future state farm workers over
• 2:21:56
  here and realtors like, come on, bro, Yeah no, but at
• 2:22:03
  least at least you'll see more teams in the playoffs. I guess it kind
• 2:22:07
  of won't be the same because now everybody will be making their games, but
• 2:22:09
  won't be as like intense. I'd say, like how we have the Michigan
• 2:22:15
  and Ohio State, like how people were watching to the very last because that
• 2:22:18
  was just had so much at stake, Like, we won't have the same
• 2:22:20
  feeling, I feel like anymore. Yeah, as long as you make it
• 2:22:24
  top ten, you could have one or two losses, you'll be like,
• 2:22:26
  well, we'll survive, we'll be good. And then but I'll tell you
• 2:22:31
  what it's really gonna make it at the end wards the best team versus the
• 2:22:35
  best team. It's not gonna be the four team because say at Florida State,
• 2:22:39
  they make it into the playoff and they somehow find a way to beat
• 2:22:43
  Georgia and then they get their asses kicked in the championship kind of kind of
• 2:22:48
  like what TCU they did last year that no business beating Michigan and they get
• 2:22:52
  their ass kick. But yeah, no, So since we both picked Bama
• 2:22:56
  to upset, soho, who would be your top four after that kind of
• 2:23:03
  going like playing off your predictions. Michigan, m Washington, Florida State,
• 2:23:13
  Ohio State m hm, So you don't think so you don't think Bama or
• 2:23:18
  Texas they get in. You think Ohio State they get in. I just
• 2:23:22
  don't know how the college football playoff makers sit back and are like Texas and
• 2:23:30
  leave Ohio State out, Like I don't get it, like it just like
• 2:23:33
  I guess I'm just not being like in their thought process. But I just
• 2:23:37
  don't see how you look at that football team with a make Egg BUCA and
• 2:23:41
  Marvin Harrison junior and you're like, oh no, this isn't the better football
• 2:23:46
  team, you know what I'm saying, like and and like, but I
• 2:23:50
  get it. I don't get it actually, So I'm not gonna admit that
• 2:23:54
  I do get it. But uh, they're they're gonna do some crazy stuff.
• 2:23:58
  So if I'm not having all Ohio State in that four spot, I
• 2:24:01
  guess I'm gonna have to go with so I had Michigan, Washington, Forest,
• 2:24:07
  I guess Bama would but then see that's that's where Texas beat Bama.
• 2:24:11
  You know what I'm saying. So it's and if they win the Big Twelve,
• 2:24:16
  it'd be like, come on, so but I could see Ohio State
• 2:24:20
  because if Ohio State didn't have a chance, then they would be ranked behind
• 2:24:24
  Bama and Texas they're ring six. So they're basically saying like, because remember
• 2:24:30
  last year they didn't make it to the Big Ten championship too, and they
• 2:24:33
  still made it in Yeah, so what I'm saying like it happened last year
• 2:24:37
  and if they didn't target Marvin Harrison Junior, they would have beat Georgia.
• 2:24:41
  Bro I'm just gonna say that, Yeah, that is true. So okay,
• 2:24:46
  So since I have Georgia losing, I'd say Michigan one, and I
• 2:24:50
  say Oregon. Oregon they jumped to two, then Florida State three, then
• 2:24:56
  number four. Man, So if you have Ohio State, I'm sorry,
• 2:25:03
  Like, I know this may suck to Texas fans. And as far as
• 2:25:07
  I'm saying, oh, well, we beat Bama, Bama, they're not
• 2:25:09
  the same team that they were when they beat when they beat them. If
• 2:25:11
  Bama they go running back in the country Jayleen Milroll. Yeah, hell yeah,
• 2:25:18
  yep. But if they go into Georgia and they beat the number one
• 2:25:24
  team, number one team in college football, you have to make the college
• 2:25:28
  football playoffs. I don't care who you lost to before and Texas, if
• 2:25:31
  they win the Big Twelve championship and you beat Georgia, it just makes their
• 2:25:35
  case stronger because they're basically saying, oh, well, this loss, it
• 2:25:39
  was a good loss, you know what I mean. So I would say
• 2:25:43
  Bama would before, and then you could have Ohio State, Georgia, Texas,
• 2:25:48
  and whichever order you want. But is there anything else you want to
• 2:25:54
  take away with this before we wrap this episode up. No, just a
• 2:25:58
  lot of confusion. Yeah, it is pretty damn confusing. But before we
• 2:26:03
  end this episode, we're gonna do what we normally do. We're gonna introduce
• 2:26:07
  our so called MVPs of the week, and Josh, I'll let you go
• 2:26:11
  first this time because I don't want to end up stealing your pick again.
• 2:26:16
  I'm gonna go my so called MVP of the week coming back from injury,
• 2:26:22
  mister Kyron Williams sixteen for one, forty three, six for sixty one in
• 2:26:28
  the air two tutters he really got this offense going. He put it on
• 2:26:33
  his back, on his short five foot eight frame and was like, I'm
• 2:26:35
  going, dog, I'm going. He took over. He might be like
• 2:26:41
  five ten. Might I might be doing too much right there, but but
• 2:26:43
  it just sounded a little bit more dramatic saying five eight. Hell yeah,
• 2:26:48
  it did sound a little bit better. But for my so called MVP of
• 2:26:52
  the week, man, I had a tough time psych you thought, Hell
• 2:26:56
  no, it was Deron motherfucking breaks NFL record five pick six is in the
• 2:27:01
  season defensive player of the year if you and read his whole stat seven seven
• 2:27:07
  solo tackles, three assists ten total, leads the league in interceptions with seven,
• 2:27:11
  And yeah, what can I say that, dude, He's just he's
• 2:27:16
  just a baller. He's a beast. You can't throw his way. He's
• 2:27:20
  he's having the best defensive back season since Stefan Gilmour, since he won Defensive
• 2:27:26
  Player of the Year. And that's not even a hot take. So yeah,
• 2:27:30
  but anything else you want to take away from this episode before we ended,
• 2:27:33
  Josh, No, just another good episode. A lot of confusion with
• 2:27:39
  college football once again. Like I said, Chiefs on Top, Chief moving,
• 2:27:43
  you know. That's just that's all I gotta say. Well, yeah,
• 2:27:50
  we're gonna see the Chiefs after they lose, after they lose against the
• 2:27:52
  Packers. Man, that's gonna be something. If that's really gonna be something.
• 2:27:56
  If they do lose, we're recording that Sunday night. I don't care.
• 2:28:01
  We'll forget about the money. Huh No, No, you're not doing
• 2:28:05
  that. I'll be too heated, bro, I'll be too heated. Well
