- 0:55There we go. Oh, where's Seagum? She's
- 0:57right. Look at that. We're starting off
- 0:58with a bang. Ste
- 1:00>> and he's back. Hello, mate.
- 1:04>> Hello. Hello. Yeah. No, for some reason
- 1:06it crashed halfway through the
- 1:07countdown.
- 1:08>> It's It kind of sounds like the Chiefs
- 1:10NFL season, right? So, folks, we're not
- 1:14even 20 seconds in and we're already at
- 1:16it. Um, right. Well, we've got a guest
- 1:19um upstairs. I'm going to let you do
- 1:20this bit, mate. He's not there. But you
- 1:22can go.
- 1:23>> Yeah. Yeah. So, we we we got my uh my
- 1:25good friend Cameron.
- 1:27He's uh he's never played American
- 1:29football. So, we have broken our rules
- 1:31with the Brit Ball guest sort of thing,
- 1:33but
- 1:35he is a Packers fan and because of last
- 1:37week,
- 1:38>> we kept we kept we kept having a lot of
- 1:40fun. He kept driving in so we said,
- 1:42"Let's get him on."
- 1:44>> Is he the reason you're the 8-0 Packers
- 1:46by nickname?
- 1:48Yeah.
- 1:48>> No, in fairness, I I Well, I said that,
- 1:53but then he agreed. So,
- 1:57>> you know, individual choice.
- 1:58>> I'm not actually sure. I'm not actually
- 1:59sure who said it first.
- 2:02>> Well, it was it was rubbish anyway. So,
- 2:04you know, I'm only joking
- 2:08to get into that in a minute. Um, right.
- 2:10Well, introduce yourself, mate. What
- 2:12What you do? How did you get into
- 2:14football?
- 2:15>> So, I got into football. My dad went
- 2:18over to Miami when I was like two or
- 2:22three and he tried to make me a Dolphins
- 2:24fan. Um I had a little bit of sense
- 2:28because obviously when he went it was
- 2:29sort of mid to late 90s. So Dan Marino
- 2:33was quarterback and it was you know they
- 2:35were a good team.
- 2:36>> The amount of people I know were Finn
- 2:37fans because of Dam Marino is is crazy.
- 2:39and he tried to make me do it. And when
- 2:41I was getting into football was about
- 2:432008 and I looked at the Dolphins team
- 2:46and I thought, I ain't doing that. But I
- 2:49got Madden09 on the PlayStation 3 and
- 2:51Brett Favre was on the front
- 2:53>> and then I went and watched some
- 2:55compilations and I was like, right, I
- 2:56like this guy. He he kind of just lobbed
- 2:58the ball really far because I didn't
- 3:00understand the game at that point. Um,
- 3:02and so the Packers were my team.
- 3:04Needless to say, he then got traded
- 3:06about three weeks after the game got
- 3:08released to the Jets. And so I was like,
- 3:12who's this Aaron Rogers guy? And
- 3:13immediately traded back Brett Favre on
- 3:15the game when I did it. Um, and then,
- 3:17you know, two years later, we've won it.
- 3:19So, I can't I can't really complain.
- 3:22It's been a nice It's been a nice time
- 3:23as a Packers fan. Um, but I think we
- 3:27probably should have had another couple
- 3:28of Super Bowls before,
- 3:30>> you know, Rogers deserved a couple, but
- 3:32we've had a we've had a bad run.
- 3:35>> You you won't you won't find a part of
- 3:37me that's some players deserve it, but
- 3:39that's what that's what it's not about,
- 3:40unfortunately. I I agree and I disagree.
- 3:43It's one of them. It's good that you're
- 3:45into it. How old are you, if you don't
- 3:47mind me asking, mate?
- 3:48>> Uh, I'm 30. I was 30 in February. So I'm
- 3:51>> I I started playing this sport when I
- 3:53was like 27 28. I would recommend it if
- 3:57you want to play the best position ever
- 3:58though. O line O line
- 4:00>> I think I think at 5'8 and about 11
- 4:02stone dripping wet that's probably not
- 4:04going to happen.
- 4:05>> Yeah, but you could do it'd be a very
- 4:08short career but I'd last about one snap
- 4:10I think.
- 4:11>> Oh mate, do you know what? Um, yeah,
- 4:14I've only ever played all of like one
- 4:16short guy, like you know what would be
- 4:18deemed to be short, his name was James
- 4:19Burtonwood, who was a great guy and um
- 4:22it was funny cuz when he used to put his
- 4:24pad on, his beard would just be hanging
- 4:25out of his his of his pad. Uh, Steve,
- 4:28what have you been doing, mate? What's
- 4:29going on with you?
- 4:31>> Um, honestly, honestly, not a lot. So,
- 4:34me me and my girlfriend, we we did
- 4:35Christmas this week, so we gave our our
- 4:38presents away. And
- 4:42I've I've cooked a few things from
- 4:44scratch. So that's about it.
- 4:46>> I I cooked me wife a pot noodle last
- 4:48night.
- 4:49>> Oh yeah.
- 4:51>> Love is in the air. Um well that's good.
- 4:54I mean me may I um for anyone who
- 4:56doesn't know I'm I'm fundraising for a
- 4:58friend of mine, a partner in work has
- 4:59motor neurum disease. So I'm doing a
- 5:02100k dressed as the Grinch
- 5:05and I've got 6K to go. So, um um um hang
- 5:09on, we've got a comment here. I'm going
- 5:10to read this out. Um
- 5:13uh trust Matteo to invite a Pakistan on
- 5:15the show to rub some salt into the
- 5:17wounds. I didn't invite him. Ste invited
- 5:19him. So, I'm just doing a damage.
- 5:21>> This was my fault. Yeah,
- 5:22>> the championship is not won in December
- 5:25is all I'm going to say.
- 5:26>> May say that to
- 5:28>> say that to a Anyway, um but anyway,
- 5:31I've got 6K to go. Um, we are 9% sure of
- 5:34the 100% mark, which is three grand. Um,
- 5:38but I ended up going viral
- 5:39>> pretty quick.
- 5:40>> Well, mate, I ended up um, yes, it was a
- 5:43great game, but we're going to get into
- 5:44that in a minute. Let's not spoil the
- 5:45fun for our Packers fan. Um, well, some
- 5:48like Tik Tok influencer put I must have
- 5:51like walked past the house or something
- 5:52and she put a clip of me and I'm there
- 5:54like power walking, but like I've got m
- 5:56I take like a rucks sack of a speaker
- 5:58and that's playing Christmas music so
- 5:59it's even more cringe. And like um you
- 6:02can see me like proper bopping along. I
- 6:04think I'm popping along to um which one
- 6:06is it?
- 6:10Can't sing.
- 6:10>> The cavalry bar.
- 6:11>> That's the warmth. Yes. Yes. Yeah.
- 6:14That's like one of the elite ones.
- 6:15Anyway, um but no, I've been doing that.
- 6:17Um getting ready for some football
- 6:19stuff. Still practicing um some kicking
- 6:21to see what's going on. That's it. But I
- 6:25think we get into it cuz we've got loads
- 6:27to go through. And I mean loads. Some of
- 6:30it painful, some of it No, no, no. Let
- 6:32me finish. I'm nearly done. I know
- 6:34you're going to go to this bit. I just
- 6:35want to say this. Um, for any Chiefs
- 6:38fans out there,
- 6:40you're up.
- 6:43>> No, I was going to say before we start,
- 6:44I decided after we I watched us lose, I
- 6:47decided not to watch any NFL this week.
- 6:51>> Why?
- 6:52>> So, I've got no numbers. I've got no
- 6:54stats. I've got no nothing really for
- 6:56this. You're all right though cuz I
- 6:58>> I'm a Broncos fan which is the closest
- 7:00thing to being an Everton fan. We were
- 7:01that bad for the last nine years. I
- 7:04still love it. I still love football
- 7:06mate. Nah, you got to keep watching it.
- 7:08There's so many other good games. Um,
- 7:10someone was someone asked me a question.
- 7:12If I had a second team, who would they
- 7:14be? Oh god.
- 7:16>> And I'm thinking and I'm like, can I
- 7:18have a second team? And you know, you're
- 7:20like, who's a team that you like? But
- 7:22who's a team I like this season is the
- 7:24Colts just for this whole mad QB
- 7:26situation. But let's let's get into it.
- 7:28Let's get into it.
- 7:29>> I was going to say my second team would
- 7:31probably be the Vikings cuz I'm an I'm
- 7:34an
- 7:36>> Did did you say you're a Broncos?
- 7:38Broncos is your second team.
- 7:40>> Let's get to it.
- 7:42>> So um
- 7:45hang on. Great game nevertheless. I
- 7:47agree. I nearly clicked end stream
- 7:48there. That would have been an absolute
- 7:50belter of a show. Uh, right. So, the
- 7:52first game, let's let's make this bigger
- 7:54cuz that is ridiculous.
- 7:56Technology a
- 7:59let's open this up. The first game of
- 8:01the week, uh, week 15 was the Buccaneers
- 8:05against the Falcons. 80% of the public
- 8:08vote and all three of us backed the
- 8:10Buccaneers because we're not insane.
- 8:11>> No, no, no, no. Actually, if you
- 8:14remember, I I messaged you privately
- 8:15saying I picked the Falcons for this
- 8:17game.
- 8:18>> Can't remember. Anyway, so
- 8:21the Buccaneers got beat 28 to 29.
- 8:24Falcons getting the win. Great game. I
- 8:27think we're going to be saying that a
- 8:27lot by the way. Great game. Um
- 8:31and then we're going to be saying we
- 8:32can't swear but poor game. Um
- 8:36Falcon's a team that's not been hit or
- 8:38miss. Um Buccaneers, they've just when I
- 8:41say the sinking ship is sinking. Selen
- 8:43Deion singing on the ship next to it. My
- 8:45heart will go on and there's no heart
- 8:47going on it. They're absolutely dying.
- 8:49Hang on. Oh, we've got a legend who's
- 8:51just commented. Uh, Matt is the goat
- 8:54forever. Idst. Right. I don't know what
- 8:56that means. I'm not with it. But this is
- 8:59Warrick. Um, he's a great guy. He's one
- 9:01of the good guys in one of the great
- 9:03guys in Brit. There's good guys, there's
- 9:05great guys, and there's people we don't
- 9:06like. Warrick, much love. Um, but the
- 9:09the sink the sink is the sink the ship
- 9:12is sinking. Anyone? This is great. I
- 9:15tell you what, we're going to go to um
- 9:16Steve first and then Steve, you can
- 9:17introduce your mate again.
- 9:18>> Yeah. Well, well, they're the reason I
- 9:20picked the Falcons. I just don't I don't
- 9:22think the Buccaneers are the last few
- 9:24weeks and us not playing football
- 9:25properly.
- 9:26>> You're you're up in the comment.
- 9:29Evening guys, bear down.
- 9:33Can't wait to Sorry, I'm just laughing
- 9:36at Bear Down. Can't wait to
- 9:39be
- 9:39>> PJ PJ. It makes more sense when you read
- 9:41the rest of the comment. But for a
- 9:43second I was like, what does bearing
- 9:44down mean?
- 9:46>> Yeah, you can't wait till the Bears got
- 9:48them down.
- 9:49>> Brilliant. By the way, what a comeback
- 9:51of a season. Honestly, fantastic. Nearly
- 9:54as good as the Broncos. Won't be as
- 9:55quite good though. Anyway, I mate.
- 9:59>> Yeah. Know, as I said, I I just I just
- 10:01felt like so the Buccaneers have been
- 10:04awful the last few weeks. Um, and I
- 10:07thought the Falcons had been putting in
- 10:09effort.
- 10:10>> Yeah,
- 10:11>> they deserved the win. I just thought
- 10:12maybe this could be the week. Like, I'm
- 10:14not going to lie, I wasn't I wasn't like
- 10:15a full-on pundit. I wasn't saying like I
- 10:18was right or anything, but
- 10:20it was just putting the numbers
- 10:22together. Bucks Bucks are awful. Falcons
- 10:25Falcons been trying, so I thought they
- 10:27deserved the win.
- 10:29>> Well, your camera.
- 10:31>> There we go. This is what I would
- 10:34consider the worst division in football
- 10:36and has been for a long time. Nobody in
- 10:39that division wants to win games. Nobody
- 10:41wants to go to the playoffs. Now, I
- 10:44would suggest that if you're committing
- 10:4619 penalties in a game, as Tampa Bay
- 10:48did, collapsing against a 4-9 team,
- 10:52which they did, they probably don't
- 10:54deserve to go to the playoffs. Do you
- 10:56know what? Can we just exclude the NFC
- 10:58South from any any form of going to the
- 11:01playoffs because it's just it's not
- 11:02worth it at this point. One thing I will
- 11:04say though, Kyle, I've been on the Kyle
- 11:07Pitts redemption arc for months and
- 11:10years because I believe he has got the
- 11:12skill set and the ability to do it and
- 11:15166 yards and three touchdowns. Kyle
- 11:17Pittz is getting paid this summer off
- 11:19one game because they'd be silly to let
- 11:21him go.
- 11:22I I saw I did see I so I saw Carl Pittz
- 11:25when I went to the NFL game in Wembley.
- 11:29I saw him in his rookie year and that
- 11:31was the year I decided. So I agree. I
- 11:34decided he's going to he's he's better
- 11:37than most people seem to think he is.
- 11:40>> Interesting. Okay. Um I think
- 11:46you by all means disagree. Are both team
- 11:48seasons over?
- 11:53I think
- 11:56New Orleans are making a run. I I think
- 11:59Tampa aren't secure as the division
- 12:01winners. I don't think they are.
- 12:04>> Okay.
- 12:04>> But you but you think New Orleans could
- 12:07be.
- 12:08>> No, but they've got to play Tampa and I
- 12:10think that could that could potentially
- 12:12swing it.
- 12:13>> That's mental that we're having this
- 12:15conversation. Um yeah, hang on. This is
- 12:17brilliantness. Take um Can I show this?
- 12:21Oh, two sex. Sorry. Maybe being old. Uh
- 12:23talking bad about NFC self is like
- 12:25taking candy from a baby. They like the
- 12:28weird cousin that
- 12:31PG, man. Trying to keep it PG.
- 12:34Um it's mad that we're talking about the
- 12:36Saints still because
- 12:40I I think Do you know what? I'm going to
- 12:41have to agree with Cameron's original
- 12:42comment. Can we just exclude this
- 12:44division? Um yeah. Should we just move
- 12:46on? Yeah.
- 12:47>> Should we just move on at this point? I
- 12:48mean,
- 12:51right, let me The best way I can
- 12:52describe this game before we move on is
- 12:53it it wasn't a game I was interested in.
- 12:57>> It wasn't, but the the fact that the
- 12:59Falcons won is wild.
- 13:01>> Yeah. No, I agree. I I agree. I agree.
- 13:05Um, right, let's move on to the next
- 13:07game, which was a horrendous game. It
- 13:09was absolutely awful. Um, the Bengals
- 13:12against the Ravens. Um 75% of the
- 13:15public, myself and Steve, um we picked
- 13:18the Ravens. Uh Lee picked the Bengals
- 13:21and it was an absolute
- 13:24Yeah. 240 to the Ravens. Um Bengals
- 13:27looked like the they come back with a
- 13:30bit of a vengeance there. They're a team
- 13:32I'd love to see in the playoffs
- 13:33considering how bad they were doing at
- 13:34one point. Surely that's a few records
- 13:36broken. Cameron, did you catch this one,
- 13:38mate? Any thoughts? Well, I had red zone
- 13:40on for the early.
- 13:41>> Can they make the playoffs?
- 13:43>> Um, I'm gonna say no because I think
- 13:47Pittsburgh have got that division
- 13:48locked. I I like I I'm an Aaron Rogers
- 13:51truther as you can probably tell and I
- 13:53always have been. I still think, you
- 13:56know, Brady is the be Brady's the best
- 13:58to ever do it. No, the greatest to ever
- 14:00do it. Aaron Rogers is the best
- 14:02quarterback that's ever played in terms
- 14:04of actual being a quarterback. He's just
- 14:06not been lucky with team. But in this
- 14:08game,
- 14:11Baltimore are playing against a team
- 14:13that don't care about football anymore.
- 14:15Joe Burrow has very clearly said he's
- 14:17not having fun. Uh he's he's made quite
- 14:19a few pointed remarks towards the
- 14:21Bengals organization over the last
- 14:22couple of weeks. And I I'd be surprised
- 14:26if he sees out his contract there. Um
- 14:30one thing is like I know Steve's not got
- 14:33stats this week, but 84 yard
- 14:35interception. I don't know if you saw
- 14:36the Alohi Gilman uh intercept return
- 14:40pick six, but it was fantastic. The
- 14:43handoff from the from the defensive
- 14:45lineman, I think it was Kyle Vanoi um
- 14:48handing it off and he just went and it
- 14:50was brilliant, but Cincinnati were just
- 14:52a damp squib really more than anything
- 14:55else. It's it's a shame to see.
- 14:59Stephen.
- 15:02>> Yeah. Well, Joe Baru has said he is he
- 15:04is going to continue playing for the
- 15:06Bengals.
- 15:08Um
- 15:09he said he basically said it was like a
- 15:11he was frustrated
- 15:13but like
- 15:14>> you are going to be frustrated though
- 15:16like like this the one thing that makes
- 15:19me baffle in um in the American football
- 15:24is
- 15:26for example the Bengals defense could
- 15:28have stopped the Ravens and made punts
- 15:31and they'll be celebrating but they'll
- 15:33be 240 down. I'd be mortified to
- 15:35celebrate anything like that.
- 15:37>> Yeah.
- 15:37>> Um but the Bengals
- 15:39>> imagine though like so so like Joe Bar
- 15:42okay
- 15:44this particular game he had an awful
- 15:46game but he's been putting up numbers.
- 15:49>> Yeah.
- 15:50>> And the defense has not been really
- 15:51giving him any giving him anything at
- 15:53all.
- 15:54>> Yeah.
- 15:54>> So of course of course by this point you
- 15:56see Caesar he was just like why am I
- 15:58caring? Why am I trying?
- 16:01I'm just I I think difference that I
- 16:03just you just keep going no matter what.
- 16:05That that's that that's my thing. Unless
- 16:07he's calling it a day like playing
- 16:08completely. You just keep going. You
- 16:10just There was a lot of ice play with
- 16:12Chester Romans Andy his name was. He
- 16:14came from like Dline to O line for his
- 16:16last year and um I should have thought
- 16:19about it everybody said like these are
- 16:21the best days of your life and it was
- 16:23his last season. He didn't tell anyone
- 16:24until he finished like but these are the
- 16:26best days of your life and they are like
- 16:28you should be Yeah. Right. Right. I
- 16:31think you know what's taking a shine
- 16:32away from here is how good the Ravens
- 16:33were.
- 16:35>> Yeah, true.
- 16:37>> The defense shut out a really high score
- 16:38on Bengals. The Bengals,
- 16:40>> but even then even even then Lamar
- 16:42wasn't that good.
- 16:43>> I don't think he's that good of a
- 16:44quarterback though. I I I am I'm I'm an
- 16:47anti Lamar Jackson guy because he's he's
- 16:49a great runner. When that athleticism
- 16:52runs out, he doesn't have the IQ to be
- 16:54able to pick passes out.
- 16:56>> I'm going to go one further.
- 16:58>> I think he's still injured.
- 17:01He could be. He could be
- 17:02>> because he's not he's not even before.
- 17:05Even before if we look at the last few
- 17:07years,
- 17:08>> Lamar actually hasn't been a good
- 17:09quarterback.
- 17:12>> I think I think it's the pace. He's got
- 17:14to just adds that extra, you know, extra
- 17:18level to it. Look, clearly there's
- 17:20better throwers than him.
- 17:21>> Um but I think it's time we move on to
- 17:24the next one cuz this one's another
- 17:26horrendous game. Um, the Philadelphia
- 17:28Eagles were against them Raiders. We
- 17:31we're not too keen on, well, I'm not
- 17:32anyway. And, um, I backed the Eagles
- 17:35more in hope. I did say the uh, sorry,
- 17:37the Raiders more in hope um, than
- 17:40anything. And the Eagles spanked the
- 17:41Raiders 31 nil. It was 100% voted to the
- 17:44Eagles. Um, it was an awful game. It was
- 17:47an absolute atrocious game.
- 17:50>> Terrible game.
- 17:51>> Um, I I've got nothing else to say other
- 17:54than that. So, St. I'm going to go to
- 17:55you and then well Cameron will come to
- 17:56you after that mate.
- 17:58>> I I I will say the only that I do have
- 18:01is the fact that it was the same scores
- 18:03when the Chiefs beat the Eagles.
- 18:07>> It was 31 nil for the Chiefs. It was 31
- 18:09nil for the Eagles. Like that's about
- 18:11it.
- 18:12>> Okay, Cameron.
- 18:14>> Um Jaylen Herz is good against bad
- 18:16defenses and that's it.
- 18:18>> Oh, I agree. And
- 18:20>> oh yes,
- 18:21>> I honestly think this season he's shown
- 18:24he's he's very good at getting to third
- 18:27down and getting to third and very short
- 18:29and that carried him last season. This
- 18:33season he's not been good at getting to
- 18:34third and short. So the tush push
- 18:36doesn't he's not getting in that
- 18:38position. Barkley's not been good
- 18:39enough. AJ Brown was shut out for the
- 18:42first six weeks. Like it's just
- 18:44something's not going right there and
- 18:47nobody's taken advantage of it. The
- 18:48Cowboys have been awful. The the
- 18:50Commanders have been awful. Like, it's a
- 18:54shame really that nobody's taken the,
- 18:55you know, taken the onus in that
- 18:57division and they're they're going to
- 18:58sneak into the playoffs somehow. But the
- 19:00thing is is when so the playoffs is a
- 19:03different ball game, I I'll I'll agree
- 19:05on that. Um, and when teams like these
- 19:07and when the Chiefs used to do it just,
- 19:09you know, sneak into the playoffs or
- 19:11smash it and get in the playoffs, they
- 19:13they have like a different level of um
- 19:17of of performing that experience playing
- 19:18in the playoffs. We got a comment here
- 19:19back in the Raiders to win that game was
- 19:21like picking Maidstone Pummers and
- 19:23Survival League. I don't know who that
- 19:24is, but it was a stupid decision made,
- 19:26but it was more hope. It was more hope
- 19:29and please and just to upset Lee a
- 19:32little bit more. I like I like um
- 19:35staring in the pot with me football
- 19:36buddies which I'm going to talk about a
- 19:38bite I got later. Do you know what I'm
- 19:40going about ste um but but no it was
- 19:44just it's just an awful game. Like
- 19:46there's no fight from the Raiders at
- 19:48all. Um if I'm at that game I'm like I'm
- 19:51not doing the rest of the season. I
- 19:52couldn't put put couldn't put myself
- 19:54through that. Never mind like kids or
- 19:55anything. Anyone got anything else to
- 19:57say in this one? Uh Brandon Gronna say
- 20:01that the Raiders aren't even in pole
- 20:03position or close to pole position for
- 20:05number one in point in a draft.
- 20:07>> Who is
- 20:08>> the Giants?
- 20:10>> The Giants. Yeah,
- 20:12>> we've got a good comment here from
- 20:13Russell. My comment on her being
- 20:15mediocre on earlier show has come true.
- 20:16He's absolutely loving it. He
- 20:18>> and Pummer is at one point not winning
- 20:20the game for seven years.
- 20:22>> Oh, there you go. That's fair. Yeah.
- 20:24Yeah, you're kind of right there to be
- 20:25fair. Um go on. Sorry, J. It's all
- 20:28right. I was just going to say Brandon
- 20:30Graham, two sacks coming off the sofa.
- 20:33Um, which probably says more about how
- 20:35bad the Raiders offensive line is to be
- 20:37honest,
- 20:38>> but
- 20:41not great.
- 20:43>> It's Yeah, the day need changes, but
- 20:45we've been saying this that long. Sorry,
- 20:46Steve. You're going to tell me who's
- 20:47bottom. Pick one.
- 20:49>> Giants.
- 20:50>> Well, he's not going to like that, Coach
- 20:52Russ. Right, let's move on. Um,
- 20:56next one. Um the Texans against
- 20:58Cardinals.
- 20:59Texans who just keep getting better and
- 21:01better for me. Their defense is saving
- 21:03that team. I will say that offense needs
- 21:05to step up. Um Texans won 40 to 20
- 21:08against the Cardinals. All three of us,
- 21:1078% of the public back that. Um it's a
- 21:13it's a good score for for what what you
- 21:15would call an offense shy team. Um so I
- 21:19think they'll take that going into the
- 21:21next few weeks.
- 21:24these next few weeks if you're going in
- 21:25the playoffs,
- 21:27momentum is so important.
- 21:30Crazy hella important. Um I'd be
- 21:32interested to get your thoughts. Did you
- 21:34watch this one, Cameron?
- 21:35>> Uh yeah, as I say, I had uh I had red
- 21:37zone on for the early slate and then
- 21:40just half watching because when the
- 21:42Packers were on, I was not watching
- 21:44anything else. Um but it was it was
- 21:46interesting to see. Obviously, they
- 21:48brought Jir Jordan in off the practice
- 21:49squad. He ran 101 yards on 15 carries,
- 21:53which is pretty mad considering he'd
- 21:54been on the practice squad. Um, and as
- 21:57you say, momentum is is just is with
- 21:59them. Um, they are
- 22:02probably in pole position for that
- 22:04division. I know they're not there yet,
- 22:06but I don't think I'd love a Philip
- 22:09Rivers Super Bowl. If if we can't win
- 22:11it, I I would want Philip Rivers to win
- 22:13win the Super Bowl, but I don't think
- 22:15it's going to happen. So, I think I
- 22:16think the Texans take that division now.
- 22:19Okay, stay.
- 22:22>> Yeah. Well, as we as we've seen what
- 22:24I've got my um playoff predictions up on
- 22:28our Instagram, I have the Texans since
- 22:31like two weeks ago winning a division.
- 22:34I'm still sickening by that.
- 22:37Okay,
- 22:37>> that's all I very got to add.
- 22:39>> Yeah, I mean I I mean look,
- 22:41it's a team I got to watch for a good
- 22:43amount of time because um they played
- 22:45they played us and we beat them and I
- 22:46was really surprised how good the
- 22:48defense is. Um I think their defense is
- 22:51at the level to get as far as they can
- 22:52get. It's their offense that needs to
- 22:54sort itself out.
- 22:56>> Right.
- 22:57>> It kind of sounds a little bit like the
- 22:58Broncos.
- 22:59>> What do you mean?
- 23:02>> Good defense, not a very good offense. I
- 23:05mean, we've lost two games all season by
- 23:07last second field goals and we're pretty
- 23:09much bang on to be in the playoffs. But
- 23:11let's talk about a team that's not going
- 23:12to playoffs. Next up, we had the Chiefs
- 23:15against the Chargers. It was a 50-50
- 23:16vote. 50/50. Anyone remember that
- 23:18program? Um, oh, hang on. Wait, there we
- 23:21got a comment from Obi-Wan Ken Kraken.
- 23:23This is the best name I've ever seen in
- 23:25my life. I've got to read this. We'll
- 23:26see tonight. Should be interesting. New
- 23:28boys got prime for the game. Yes, mate.
- 23:31I've got it. I'm ready. I'll be in bed
- 23:33by 10, mate. there's no chance to watch
- 23:34it. I'll watch the highlights in the
- 23:35morning. Um, right. Next up, yeah, the
- 23:38Chiefs against the Chargers. Um, 13-6.
- 23:42Uh, so the Chargers won. Uh, we all
- 23:44backed the Chiefs. I did genuinely think
- 23:45the Chiefs were going to do it, but like
- 23:47they have done all season, they kind of
- 23:48choked. Um, I've said for for a bit, I
- 23:51didn't think, you know, they they
- 23:52weren't going to make the playoffs.
- 23:54There's just something not right.
- 23:55They've had, you know, a few too many
- 23:56key injuries, especially to the wide
- 23:58receiver unit. And it was a real shame
- 24:01to see um to see a QB go down with a
- 24:04season ending injury. Um it'll be
- 24:07interesting to see how he comes back off
- 24:08that because it's not an injury for me
- 24:10that I feel like you ever fully heal. Um
- 24:12Steve, we're going to come to you last
- 24:14one. Cameron, what are your thoughts in
- 24:15this one, mate? Where's it gone wrong
- 24:16for the Chiefs this season? Look, before
- 24:18you do that, we can all laugh at them
- 24:20and do this, you know, because they've
- 24:22been so good for so long. Us laughing at
- 24:24them is a compliment to how good they've
- 24:25been because they have been good. Um,
- 24:28Cameron, you're up me.
- 24:29>> I don't think the Chiefs have ever had a
- 24:32fantastic roster from top to bottom
- 24:35throughout the time that they've been
- 24:36good. Patrick Mahomes is obviously
- 24:40far and above the most talented
- 24:42quarterback in the league at the moment.
- 24:44>> So, ju just just just a question on on
- 24:47Mahomes. So, are you saying Mahomes
- 24:49good,
- 24:50>> great, or god level?
- 24:52>> Great. Not god level.
- 24:53>> Okay. Who's god level? Uh, if we're talk
- 24:56what? Right now in the league.
- 24:58>> Yeah,
- 24:59>> right now in the league.
- 25:00>> Well, I know you're going to say Bonick,
- 25:01but who else?
- 25:03>> I don't I don't think in the league
- 25:06right now there is a quarterback that I
- 25:08would consider top five all time.
- 25:11>> Not even top 10 all time. And and and if
- 25:13if we're thinking about people like, you
- 25:16know, Damarino,
- 25:17uh Steve Young, if we're talking about
- 25:19Rogers, Brady,
- 25:21>> sorry, I'm just going to go cry into me
- 25:22tissue because you never said Bick.
- 25:24Rogers is still in the but he's not
- 25:26operating in he's not operating at that
- 25:28level. If we're talking right now at
- 25:29this point there's no top top top tier
- 25:31quarterbacks in the league. A couple of
- 25:33seasons ago I' said maybe Burrow. I'd
- 25:35have said Mahomes maybe is is is on the
- 25:37way to being there. But I think Mahomes
- 25:39has shown this season that without
- 25:42Kelsey as a a reliable release valve, he
- 25:46doesn't have anything because he can't
- 25:49he tries to play the hero a little bit
- 25:51too much and he doesn't have any
- 25:53receivers that that are able to get
- 25:55separation. So before he had Tyreek Hill
- 25:57who no matter what, you know, he's
- 25:59beating, you know, he's beating the
- 26:01safety, he's getting into the end zone
- 26:02and you can just hoof a ball up and he's
- 26:04getting it. They don't have that
- 26:06anymore. Worthy is possibly that build,
- 26:08but he's too small. He's not
- 26:10>> That's what I He's not physical. He's
- 26:12not physical enough. He can't go
- 26:14one-on-one with a cornerback. He can't
- 26:15go one-on-one with the safety. Rasheed
- 26:17Rice is great underneath the
- 26:20linebackers, but as he's shown,
- 26:23>> he's just getting he's getting hit and
- 26:24run every week. Bad joke.
- 26:27>> Sorry, we've got a comment here. Farrell
- 26:29getting out the Cincinnati ever. And
- 26:32>> I don't think I don't think his
- 26:33contract's tradable to be honest. I've
- 26:35got another one. Um, from coach Russ, do
- 26:39you agree there was some questionable
- 26:41calls against the Chiefs?
- 26:45>> Yeah, but I always I I'm always going to
- 26:47think that.
- 26:48>> Years and years and years.
- 26:50>> I'm always going to think a 50/50 is
- 26:52always going to go to the I think
- 26:53they're going to be wrong.
- 26:55>> Years of ref ball has come back to the
- 26:58Chiefs and I'm quite happy about it. So,
- 27:00but yeah, I I think I think the
- 27:02Championship window's gone. I think I
- 27:04think Kelsey's retiring. I think Mahomes
- 27:06isn't going to come back the same
- 27:08explosive player that he was. It's it's
- 27:10rebuild mode and I think back to my
- 27:13original point, they've never had a
- 27:14great roster, but they have had the best
- 27:16coach possibly of all time and he has
- 27:20got the best out of what he's had.
- 27:22People have figured the Chiefs out and
- 27:24it's put Mahomes under pressure, but
- 27:26don't actually go at him. He'll think he
- 27:28needs to play hero ball and you
- 27:30intercept the ball. And that's what's
- 27:31happened this season time and time and
- 27:33time again.
- 27:35>> Yeah. But do do we do we think it's time
- 27:37to get rid of Andy Reid or is is Mahomes
- 27:40the problem?
- 27:42>> I think Mahomes ego is the problem if
- 27:45I'm being completely honest.
- 27:46>> Yeah.
- 27:47>> No, I I do I do agree. I do completely
- 27:50agree. I I think Mahomes tries way too
- 27:53much to be the hero as
- 27:54>> I want to pop in on the ego comment. um
- 27:57playing this level of sport, playing any
- 27:59level of sport, if you are very
- 28:00competitive, there's a very good chance
- 28:02there's going to be an ego there. So, I
- 28:05I get the ego comment, but playing that
- 28:08level of sport, it's pretty much
- 28:10impossible to not have that ego and push
- 28:12yourself above them limits. We just got
- 28:13another comment before we go back. Jent,
- 28:15um do you think Miami keeps their
- 28:17coaching QB duo for next year? Um
- 28:19>> no, I I Well, I don't.
- 28:22>> It's been announced.
- 28:22>> Oh, has it been announced
- 28:23>> to his third string? He's being he's
- 28:25gone. Quinn was he was being backed up
- 28:28by Wilson on Sunday.
- 28:30>> Oh, fair fair.
- 28:31>> Back to you, Jens.
- 28:32>> Yeah,
- 28:34>> but yeah, I think the problem with
- 28:35Mahomes is I agree with you to to the,
- 28:37you know, the ego thing. I think that's
- 28:38right. It's the fact that he thinks he
- 28:40can make every single throw and he and
- 28:43sometimes you have to understand and
- 28:45Brady was the best at it. Brady was
- 28:46never, you know, like a Rogers or a
- 28:48Mahomes where he could fling the ball
- 28:5060, 70 yards and hit it, but he knew
- 28:53when it was right to check down. He
- 28:54could read a defense really, really well
- 28:56and and he was always making the smart
- 28:58throws rather than trying to make the
- 29:00Hollywood throws, which is what Mahomes
- 29:01does.
- 29:02>> Uh, we've had we've had a Mahomes,
- 29:05>> let me just read this comment. Sorry.
- 29:06>> Mahomes does have
- 29:07>> Reed has had multiple Super Bowls. If
- 29:09they get rid of him after one season,
- 29:11one bad season, it's madness. And then
- 29:13we've got another comment and we're
- 29:15going to read this one. Sorry, but you
- 29:16guys are saying Mahomes ego is he meant
- 29:18to make every playoffs? That's a great
- 29:20comment. That's a great comment. Um do
- 29:24you know what I I think whoever you are
- 29:26by the way uh that's a brilliant
- 29:28question. Um for me um it's the level of
- 29:32expectancy. So like like people expect
- 29:35them to be there. People just as long as
- 29:38they make the playoffs they'll be sound.
- 29:40And it's it's kind of like the same
- 29:41thing for me. every gent by all means
- 29:43pop up and disagree. We've got some
- 29:45great comments in here by the way and
- 29:46we're going to go through every comment.
- 29:47We're literally going to go through
- 29:48every comment as long as it's not
- 29:48abusive. Um but but like like it's like
- 29:52like
- 29:54Brit for example, people in Northern
- 29:55League, people are always going to
- 29:56expect Manchester to be there and that's
- 29:58why it was really good with to see
- 29:59Coventry giving them you know run for
- 30:01the money. Last year the V Newcastle
- 30:03Vikings for me that's they're just
- 30:05expected to be there every year. So that
- 30:07ego suits that team's mentality. Um,
- 30:11anyone wants to go on and give a comment
- 30:12on that one? We have got a few comments
- 30:13to go through.
- 30:14>> I I I would say if you're gonna have
- 30:16that ego, you've got to be able to back
- 30:18it up, right? And whilst Mahomes has up
- 30:20till now, I would say he wants to
- 30:22consider himself around with Brady. The
- 30:24only times that the Patriots did not
- 30:26make the playoffs the entire time Brady
- 30:28was starting quarterback was when he was
- 30:30injured for more than three games.
- 30:32>> That's crazy stat. That's a brilliant
- 30:35start. I like this guy. Forget the fact
- 30:37he's a Packers fan. Ste, you're up mate.
- 30:38We've got about 50 million comments to
- 30:40go through.
- 30:40>> Yeah. But yeah, but do do we remember
- 30:43what year Brady got injured?
- 30:48It was his ninth season.
- 30:50This is also Mahomes's ninth season.
- 30:53When Brady got injured, the ninth
- 30:55season, so his eighth season, he lost
- 30:57the Super Bowl. So, hey, look, history
- 31:00repeating itself.
- 31:02Look, it's going to be Let's move on to
- 31:03these comments because we got loads them
- 31:04coming through. Um, right. Let's have a
- 31:06look at this one. What's this one
- 31:07saying? I can't read it cuz me visions.
- 31:09I think the Chiefs can go uh cannot go
- 31:11to the conference championship for a
- 31:13year. People giving them the 2000s
- 31:14Patriots is wild. Sorry, I'm coming
- 31:17through all these comments. Yes, Nathan,
- 31:18it's my psych. How is that right? Yeah,
- 31:22hang on there. Uh, how is that ego
- 31:24through that? The fact that every year
- 31:25he's been in league, he's been in the
- 31:27conference championship. That's not his
- 31:29fault. I'm not saying it's it's his
- 31:31fault. Um, again, it's just going back
- 31:32to the point I think it's a great thing
- 31:34to have an ego. I don't think it's a bad
- 31:36thing at all. Uh
- 31:37>> it w it it was it was also one of the
- 31:40reasons they almost didn't draft him.
- 31:41>> Well, look, I think to to you look at
- 31:44all the top performers in, you know,
- 31:45pretty much every sport, there's an ego
- 31:47there to to back it. Again, I don't
- 31:49think it's a bad thing. I think what the
- 31:50Chiefs have achieved is absolutely
- 31:52fantastic. Are they going to be rubbish
- 31:54for a few years? No, I don't think so. I
- 31:55think it'll be back of a bang next year.
- 31:57Um hang on, wait there. Sorry. These
- 32:00messages are coming through thick and
- 32:01thin, which is exactly what we want.
- 32:02He's been in the league maybe five years
- 32:04with three rings. Mahomes set standard.
- 32:05So I Yes, that is a great comment. It's
- 32:08not his ego. It's more like that's his
- 32:09standard. I agree. Jesus loves you. I
- 32:11love Jesus, too. Can he make me win the
- 32:12lottery? I'm going to have to research
- 32:14that stat because Brady went six years
- 32:16no championship. Hell is real. Oh my
- 32:19god. What's this coming? Hell is real
- 32:20and Jesus wants to save your soul.
- 32:21Repent and turn to Jesus. Uh I think I'm
- 32:23pretty screwed, mate. Um Brady never
- 32:28>> wait there two seconds. Trying to show
- 32:30this. Have we got a load of butts for we
- 32:32suppose
- 32:32>> Brady never took a snap in regular
- 32:34season when his team was out of playoff
- 32:36contention? Oh my god, Fright. Let's
- 32:38keep going. Sorry, we have I love this.
- 32:41I love this.
- 32:42>> Surely he did because he lost the Super
- 32:44Bowl.
- 32:45>> I love this. Been looking for some
- 32:46English lads to talk NFL with me. Drop
- 32:48us a message. More than happy to have a
- 32:50chat with you and tell you how awesome
- 32:51the Denver Broncos are.
- 32:53>> Right. Should we move on to the next
- 32:54game?
- 32:56>> I mean, we're all done. But we haven't
- 32:58got the right Seline Deart will go on
- 32:59because I would be playing it right now
- 33:01for Steven and it has been hurtful.
- 33:03Right, let's move on to the next one.
- 33:05Um, brilliant. This this one for me was
- 33:08up there for game of the week. Um,
- 33:10Patriots 31, Bills 35. All three of us
- 33:14backed the Bills as well as 35% in
- 33:17public. Brilliant game. Um,
- 33:21Steam, I'm going to come to you for your
- 33:22thoughts on this one. I I reckon you
- 33:25were still watching this before you um
- 33:28got upset.
- 33:31>> Yeah. Well, I I had
- 33:32>> Sorry. One second. One second. One
- 33:34second. One second. We've got a really
- 33:36abusive comment here. Bick still
- 33:38questionable. BICK HAS BEEN AWESOME,
- 33:40MATE. WE'RE GOING TO GET BACK into that
- 33:41into a bit.
- 33:42>> He hasn't.
- 33:43>> Oh, mate. Go on. Go home and cry. Sorry,
- 33:46I'm talking. There's comments coming
- 33:47through here. Go on, mate. As you were.
- 33:50>> Uh yeah, I I was me I was messaging the
- 33:53group. I think it was like 21 nil and I
- 33:55was like, "Oh, the Bills are having a
- 33:56bad time here." And then they scored and
- 33:59I was like, "Oh, they've scored just as
- 34:01I message and now somehow the Bills come
- 34:03back." I I I don't know about Josh Allen
- 34:06this season, though.
- 34:10I just I just I'm not 100% sold on him
- 34:13being a good quarterback this season.
- 34:15>> Okay. Well, Karen, whenever you're
- 34:18ready, mate. I it's it's a shame really
- 34:21because I was I was kind of on the uh on
- 34:24the Drake May for MVP train.
- 34:28>> Not Bicks. No.
- 34:29>> Uh well, we'll get to that. We'll get to
- 34:31why. And it's not it's not even just
- 34:32because we lost to you, but like there
- 34:34is reasons. But Drake May has taken a
- 34:36team that is genuinely he's got no 1A
- 34:39receiver. Stefon Diggs is not that guy
- 34:41anymore. He's got no he's not really
- 34:44even got a 2A receiver to be honest. Kan
- 34:46Booty is not that guy. He's not got a
- 34:49tight end. He's not really got a running
- 34:51back or for the full season. I know
- 34:52Tayvon Henderson is good, but he's not
- 34:55been allowed to be let loose all season.
- 34:57Drake May has carried that team, and it
- 34:59was a shame to see it go. But I think
- 35:01the reason that Josh Allen will win MVP
- 35:04is because he will get the Bills back to
- 35:08the conference championships because he
- 35:10is in the clutch. When you need Josh
- 35:12Allen to perform, Josh Allen will put
- 35:14the team on his back and go. Cameron,
- 35:16I'm gonna let you read this comment if
- 35:17you can see it, mate.
- 35:19>> Whoever said best game of the season
- 35:20must have got Ravens versus Bills first
- 35:22game. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
- 35:26I think the Bills have had a habit of
- 35:28being in these games where they look
- 35:30like they're going to absolutely get
- 35:31smashed and then coming out on the right
- 35:34side of it. But that's the difference
- 35:35between having an elite quarterback and
- 35:38having Lamar Jackson or having somebody
- 35:42like I don't know who else is average.
- 35:45>> Go next.
- 35:46>> I was I didn't want to say it, but yeah,
- 35:47we'll go with that. Um, but yeah, it's a
- 35:50shame. I I like the fact that the
- 35:51Patriots are doing well. I I I'm I'm not
- 35:54a Patriots hater because I I liked
- 35:56Brady. I thought, you know, it is what
- 35:58it is.
- 35:58>> Brady Brady was brilliant for the sport.
- 36:00Let Let's just Let's just lay that out
- 36:02there. Brady was brilliant for the
- 36:03sport. The the the mad the mad thing I
- 36:06used to see and it used to drive me
- 36:08insane because it happened to the Chiefs
- 36:09and the Eagles for a bit um is when
- 36:11people are like, "Oh, they only do so
- 36:13good cuz the refs helped them." Shut up.
- 36:14Just just just stop. Just stop. They're
- 36:17a great team. Um brilliant team and it
- 36:20was only good for football. Oh, hang on.
- 36:22We've got a comment here. Someone's put
- 36:23Lamar Jackson average question mark and
- 36:25then what blasphemy. Um whoever said
- 36:28you're up.
- 36:29>> I I agree. I think he is. I like Lamar
- 36:32Jackson has had the the joy of an
- 36:35incredible offensive line, a fantastic
- 36:39defense the entire time he's been there,
- 36:41and the god-given gifts of athleticism
- 36:44that he's got, the more injuries he's
- 36:46got, the less explosive he is, the less
- 36:49runs he's going on. We were speaking
- 36:50about it at the time when we were
- 36:51talking about that game. Where where's
- 36:53the the runs where he's you know he's
- 36:55just going through and and you know
- 36:58gapping a linebacker so he's just got 25
- 37:0130 yards. It's not happening anymore. Um
- 37:04I just don't and he's he's not got the
- 37:06vision or the ability to read a defense.
- 37:09He doesn't go through his progressions
- 37:11properly. He's just he's he's an average
- 37:14quarterback but an elite A-level
- 37:17athlete.
- 37:19Okay, we've got another comment here.
- 37:21Um, the opinion on the tush push here.
- 37:23Um, I don't like it. Um, Steve, do you
- 37:27like the tush push?
- 37:30>> Not really, but also like I am a rugby
- 37:32fan, so it is a rugby kind of play.
- 37:34>> We have got a ton of comments, Jens. So,
- 37:36let's
- 37:36>> But it it's most it's mostly for me the
- 37:39touch bush is that it can't be
- 37:41officiated properly.
- 37:43>> Do you know why people don't like it?
- 37:45Cuz their team didn't think of it first
- 37:46and they're not as good at it. That's
- 37:48how I That's how I feel about it.
- 37:49>> Oh, gang. Oh, I I I agree. I agree.
- 37:51>> It's one of those things that it's in
- 37:53the rules until it gets banned. They are
- 37:56within their rights to do it. They're
- 37:57fantastic at it. And why shouldn't they
- 37:59do it?
- 38:00>> It's it's it's when it's when the rules
- 38:02aren't followed where because like, you
- 38:04know, in terms of um there was a thing
- 38:06the other day um I can't remember with
- 38:08your playing, mate. I'm not going to be
- 38:09able to remember the amount of head hits
- 38:10I've had, but um there was a false start
- 38:13done and it wasn't picked up on. So, I
- 38:17think it's good. I I think some new
- 38:19things are good for the game, some maybe
- 38:20not so much. This one is good for the
- 38:22game, but I think the rules need to be
- 38:25snapped on proper considering how many
- 38:28cameras and replays and everything they
- 38:30do. If you know, if a football news crew
- 38:33is picking up on it within seconds, then
- 38:35they should they should as well. Uh,
- 38:37right. Have we all give our comment
- 38:39about that game? Are we ready to move
- 38:40on?
- 38:41>> Is there? Yeah. Okay. Right. So, the
- 38:43next game after that, come on internet,
- 38:46load up you absolute thingy. Um,
- 38:50the next game was the Jags against the
- 38:52Jets. Um, I'm not looking forward to
- 38:55this Sunday. Um, cuz these are these are
- 38:58brilliant. Um, Jags won 48 to 20. All
- 39:00three of us backed the Jags and 90% of
- 39:02the public did. The other 10% um Oh,
- 39:05hang on. We got a comment here. Touch
- 39:06push is a trend in a league. A team
- 39:08finds a loophole. Everyone cries like a
- 39:10Next year a team will find a new
- 39:12loophole. I agree on that one. Um it's
- 39:15always almost have the I'm assuming
- 39:17saying these always almost have false
- 39:19starts which I agree. Uh right. Um so
- 39:23yeah 4820 really good win by Jags. A lot
- 39:26of momentum in that team. Steve, what
- 39:28your thoughts on this one mate?
- 39:31I I I feel I feel like this game has
- 39:33made the drive look better than they
- 39:35think they are
- 39:37>> because the the Jets again obviously
- 39:39over a terrible team.
- 39:43>> Yeah.
- 39:43>> I don't know. I I I still don't have a
- 39:47number on Lawrence if he's going to be
- 39:49good or not.
- 39:49>> I think this weekend be a good test
- 39:51because we're a prominently much better
- 39:53defense team than we are an offense
- 39:55team.
- 39:56>> Um
- 39:58>> yeah, I think I think it'll be be a
- 40:00really good test. You'll know more this
- 40:01weekend for for me.
- 40:04>> Yeah.
- 40:05>> Yeah. I I think this was like set one PE
- 40:08versus set 5 PE if if I'm being
- 40:10completely honest.
- 40:11>> Don't say that. Don't say that.
- 40:13>> It's very very very easy to look good
- 40:15against the Jet. It is. It's so good to
- 40:17look
- 40:17>> I remember the people I remember the
- 40:19people in set five. That's not nice.
- 40:23>> Well, not not nice to them because
- 40:24they're being compared to the Jets.
- 40:26Yeah, probably. Um but look, Trevor
- 40:28Lawrence, I think he's good. I think
- 40:29Trevor Lawrence is good. I think
- 40:32>> is he great?
- 40:33>> No, I think he's got the potential to be
- 40:35great. He's a big guy.
- 40:38>> How long have we been saying that for?
- 40:41>> But he's still what he's only he got
- 40:42drafted in 2021, right? So he's we're
- 40:45we're five years in and I don't think
- 40:49that you I mean if you look at Aaron
- 40:51Rogers, he didn't play until his fourth
- 40:53year. Jordan Love didn't play till his
- 40:55fourth year and so on and so there's
- 40:57instances where it takes people time to
- 40:59get into and and the Jags has never been
- 41:01a great situation. It's never been a
- 41:03team that's had coaching stability. It's
- 41:05never been a team that's had great wide
- 41:07receivers or great tight ends. And I
- 41:10think that, you know, Brian Thomas is a
- 41:13great player. I think that, you know,
- 41:16Calvin Ridley's been hit or miss to be
- 41:18completely honest. I think Trevor
- 41:20Lawrence,
- 41:21>> you've got a great comment here. So
- 41:22Lamard is average. What is Trevor
- 41:24>> as a C? If we're talking quarterback
- 41:26fundamentals, Trevor Lawrence is better
- 41:29than Lamar Jackson.
- 41:31>> I I that because he can throw the ball,
- 41:33he can put the ball into into a gap.
- 41:35Lamar can't do it.
- 41:37>> Mate, I have to disagree because being a
- 41:39QB, it's not just throwing a ball.
- 41:41There's there's so much more to it. I I
- 41:43have to disagree, mate. Um, I think for
- 41:47I think I think if you said to every
- 41:48other team who who isn't a rival to Jags
- 41:50or Ravens, if you said to every other
- 41:52team, which QB are you wanting out of
- 41:54them two? Me? I'm wanting Jackson,
- 41:57>> Steve, who would you rather have,
- 41:59Jackson or?
- 42:01>> Jackson. Jackson's got the I think
- 42:03Jackson's got much better football IQ.
- 42:05>> But who would you rather have?
- 42:08>> Jackson.
- 42:09>> Okay, cool. Back to it. Go on, mate.
- 42:12Uh but yeah, I I think again that
- 42:14division is is so up for grabs, but I
- 42:18don't think I think the Texans the
- 42:20Texans are going to take it, but the
- 42:22Jags will push them. I think the Colts
- 42:24are going to be a distant third by the
- 42:27end of it. But yeah, I think some people
- 42:30are I think they're going to have a bit
- 42:31of an argument. Mark Jones last year had
- 42:33Brian Robinson looking I can't even see
- 42:35it. There's that many comments coming
- 42:37through. I have to catch a ball. Can't
- 42:39believe that's a question.
- 42:41Right, Steve, let's let's go to Have you
- 42:43beat Have you said anything on this bit?
- 42:46>> Yeah.
- 42:46>> So, let's move on. We've got a big show
- 42:48to go through and we're nearly at the
- 42:50hour point. Um, I don't really think
- 42:53that we've any of us have got much to
- 42:54say in this. Unfortunately, Coach Russ,
- 42:56uh, Giants 21, Commanders 29. I backed
- 42:59the Giants because of how awful the
- 43:00Commanders were. Both season, both team
- 43:03seasons are done. I'm right. Do we know
- 43:05the Giants is commanders? I assume so.
- 43:07Anyone got anything to say? awful game.
- 43:10>> Both teams are tanking, aren't they?
- 43:12Let's face it. Like,
- 43:13>> the commanders have shut down Jaden
- 43:15Daniels.
- 43:16>> The Giants have got no team.
- 43:19So, it is what it is.
- 43:21>> I I do think that that Scatteraboo
- 43:23injury completely ruined their season
- 43:25because it's it's absolutely nosy since
- 43:27then and it shows that he's such a big
- 43:29personality. So, him coming back next
- 43:30season or whatever capacity he does will
- 43:32be needed. Ste, anything on it or should
- 43:34we just skip?
- 43:36>> Uh, no, we can skip.
- 43:37>> Cool. Um, right. Next one was a Pacing.
- 43:40These are the team I'm really enjoying
- 43:42watching. Um, we're going to go to our
- 43:44pick tonight. Obi-Wan, we are not that
- 43:46far away from it. I promise. Um, Bears
- 43:48against the Browns. Bears spank the
- 43:49Browns. I think this team, the Bears
- 43:52could literally go all the way if you
- 43:53carry on the way they've just carried on
- 43:55building and getting better and better
- 43:56and better and better. Um, Ste, I'm
- 43:58going to go to you first.
- 44:01>> Yeah. So, so I much Cameron's hatred. I
- 44:05have the Bears making the playoffs.
- 44:08Um,
- 44:10yeah. I just there's just something
- 44:11about I think it's I think it's just the
- 44:13coaching stuff. I don't think they
- 44:15actually have a good squad. I just think
- 44:17it's mostly they've been coached and
- 44:19they've got the right calls being made
- 44:21at the right times and
- 44:23>> Okay.
- 44:24>> is a team that's could go a long way.
- 44:27>> Nathan coach is
- 44:29>> I I don't actually I genuinely don't
- 44:31think they'll make the playoffs. I I
- 44:32don't Super Bowl. But
- 44:34>> we've got we've got Bears Baby Woo and
- 44:36then come on bears.
- 44:38>> Literally not Come on Bears. Can we not?
- 44:40Yeah. Listen, PG. Um and then we've got
- 44:43another we got free Bears fans here.
- 44:45This is great. You all should like make
- 44:46up a group chat. Set up a fantasy
- 44:48football league. Don't do what I did. Um
- 44:51okay. Um next comment. Um let's go to um
- 44:55yeah, let's go. Let's go to Cameron. Um,
- 44:59it does pain me that the Bears have been
- 45:03good, but if we take if we if we look at
- 45:05it, and I think that you made the
- 45:07comment last week, wherever you finish
- 45:09in the division is basically the big set
- 45:12of teams that you're going to play the
- 45:14next year outside of your division.
- 45:16>> Yeah,
- 45:16>> the Bears have not had a hard schedule
- 45:18at all. Yes, they're in the most
- 45:20competitive and hardest division in
- 45:21football, but they are not playing
- 45:24against good teams week on week. So,
- 45:26it's very easy to build up a good
- 45:27record. Look at what the Vikings did the
- 45:29year that Kurt Cousins went mental and
- 45:32then look at what happened the year
- 45:33after. And similarly, look at what Sam
- 45:35Darnold did with them last year when
- 45:36they were playing against fourth place
- 45:37teams. It's it's very easy to look good
- 45:40when you're playing against below
- 45:42average teams every week.
- 45:44>> Sorry mate, there's a there's a comment.
- 45:46I've just got to read this out. Not had
- 45:48three Bears fans together since 1985.
- 45:53>> Go on, mate. as you were
- 45:55>> and and again it's like obviously it was
- 45:58a great defensive performance another
- 45:59three interceptions scored off each one
- 46:01of them you know that's 30 takeaways on
- 46:04the season but again when you're playing
- 46:06against subpar offensive teams it's easy
- 46:09to get that to happen and I'll bring up
- 46:11Miles Garrett for instance Garrett 21
- 46:14and a half sacks on the season one short
- 46:16of tying the record yes he wants 25 when
- 46:19you get more defensive snaps than any
- 46:20other primary pass rusher in the league
- 46:23>> more chances Exact. It's exactly. It's
- 46:25like the bottom team in the Premier
- 46:27League always has the most saves for the
- 46:28goalkeeper because they face the most
- 46:30shots. That doesn't mean you're the best
- 46:31at your job. It means you're getting the
- 46:33most opportunity.
- 46:34>> If only them pesky Everton fans would
- 46:36listen to me about Jordan Pigford.
- 46:37>> Honestly, I think Shaw, look, I'm I'm an
- 46:40anti-pickfitter to be honest. But
- 46:42anyway, that's for another thing. Um,
- 46:43but yeah, I I think yeah, I I think I
- 46:46think we're in we're in a situation
- 46:47where it's going to be Bears or Packers
- 46:50make the playoffs and the other ones
- 46:52going as the seventh seed,
- 46:54it's going to come down to Saturday
- 46:56night. And I,
- 46:58as much as Michael Parsons not being
- 47:01there is a pain,
- 47:02>> we talk, we can't we talk about this
- 47:05later, we got we can't do it. We got to
- 47:06wait till later. Got to wait till later.
- 47:08Yes. Rules rules. But yes, Bears Bears
- 47:11are a a fake 10- win team.
- 47:14>> Okay. Um, next up, Saints beat the
- 47:17Panthers 2017. Does anyone care?
- 47:20>> Not particularly.
- 47:21>> No.
- 47:22>> Okay. Next up after that, we had the
- 47:23Rams against the Lions. Rams won 41 to
- 47:2634. What a game.
- 47:31>> Yeah.
- 47:32Like
- 47:34again, the Rams are a team that flatters
- 47:38to deceive at times. I think they've got
- 47:41two incredible wide receivers in Nur and
- 47:43Devonte Adams. They've got a great
- 47:46running back in Kauman Williams. They've
- 47:47got the weapons. Matthew Stafford, I
- 47:49think, is up there with, you know, top
- 47:52three or four of his generation. If if
- 47:55we're going to be
- 47:56>> Is he Is he good, great, or god?
- 47:58>> I think he's great. He's not quite God.
- 48:00>> Okay. Super Bowl. or we make him go.
- 48:03>> If he was God, he'd have made the
- 48:05playoffs a couple more times with that
- 48:06really, really bad Detroit team because
- 48:08he had Megatron and he didn't. So,
- 48:13>> okay.
- 48:14>> Uh, but yeah, I I think the Rams are
- 48:15going to be the top seed. There's no two
- 48:17no two ways about it. It's just whether
- 48:19or not they can stay healthy because
- 48:23Adam's pulled up with a a hamstring
- 48:25injury. He's doubtful for Sunday now.
- 48:28So,
- 48:30if one of those two goes down, I worry
- 48:33that they've then not got a second
- 48:35option because the joy of those two is
- 48:37if you double one, the other's free
- 48:39because both of them are so good, you
- 48:41can't really get away with doubling
- 48:42either of them because it just leaves
- 48:44one man over. Um, so if they can stay
- 48:47healthy, I think, you know, NFC
- 48:49Championship minimum, but it's
- 48:52>> the top at the moment, uh, with 11 at
- 48:55three. Um,
- 48:57I think he got beat not last week, the
- 48:59week before. Um, but that's that's
- 49:02really going to be interesting. Um, I've
- 49:05actually got the playoff pitch here, but
- 49:06we'll talk about this after we've gone
- 49:08through the weeks. Steve, what are your
- 49:09thoughts on this, mate?
- 49:12>> Uh, for for me, I think I think this
- 49:15sort of proves to me because I I think
- 49:16the Lions have been a good squad.
- 49:20I think I think the Rams pulling this
- 49:22one away so badly as well just sort of
- 49:25shows that they are the squad that we've
- 49:27we've sort of been we've been had them
- 49:30we've had them at number one seed for
- 49:32weeks. So I think it's sort of showing
- 49:35at least for for us that we we
- 49:39potentially have been right for a long
- 49:40time.
- 49:41>> Yeah. Got a good comment here. Ramse
- 49:43line legit. Um and then we've got we've
- 49:46got another comment I can't reply. um
- 49:49saying
- 49:50>> to be fair, I don't have the stats, but
- 49:52I don't think Stafford's been snacked
- 49:54that much this year.
- 49:55>> Yeah. Well, that's that speaks obviously
- 49:58um volumes on on the comment of the role
- 50:00line's just that good. U great comment.
- 50:02Can Rams be caught by the winners of
- 50:04Beers Packers? Yes, they can
- 50:07>> because of the way that the schedule
- 50:08goes, I think. Yes.
- 50:10>> Yeah. Correct.
- 50:12>> Um right, let's move on to to the next
- 50:15game. Um, I I I was so interested in
- 50:19this game, Seahawks and Colts. Um,
- 50:22uh, we all backed the Seahawks, but I
- 50:25think every one of us a little bit
- 50:26wanted the Colts to do decent just with
- 50:28this whole fairy tale thing going on.
- 50:31>> Um, I'm going got to comment here, but
- 50:33Lions have blown out multiple times this
- 50:35season. It's again, it has been a very
- 50:38mental season. Um, but yeah, 80% of the
- 50:41Republic backed the Seahawks to win, but
- 50:43it was a very close game, 18 to 16. Um,
- 50:46quick thought on this one, J.
- 50:49>> This shows me that the Seahawks aren't
- 50:50ready because they didn't score a
- 50:52touchdown and they were held scoreless
- 50:54for three quarters. They're not they're
- 50:56not the team that they looked like
- 50:58being. And
- 51:00>> I don't listen,
- 51:02as long as that final whistle, final
- 51:05play, whatever. as long as your team's
- 51:07winning. I get where you're coming from
- 51:09in that aspect, but that just shows
- 51:11they've got the the charisma in the
- 51:13team, the character to come from, you
- 51:16know, to to to to get that win over the
- 51:18line. I've played in many Brit ball
- 51:21teams where we've been getting beat at
- 51:22halfime and we're like, we're not
- 51:23getting beat, we're beating ourselves.
- 51:25You know, that type of mentality, but we
- 51:26showed the character to pull our socks
- 51:29up and get the, you know, get the win,
- 51:31get it done no matter how how it's got
- 51:33done. You know, I've never looked back
- 51:34on a win and thought we only won because
- 51:35the defense I' I've just thought we won.
- 51:40>> I I think if if you can't score a
- 51:42touchdown against because that Colts
- 51:43defense isn't great. It's not it's not
- 51:45fantastic defense.
- 51:48>> Be fair. Sorry. Of course, a Broncos fan
- 51:51will say that. Yes, mate. All day. Go
- 51:53on, mate.
- 51:54>> And you know, Rivers I, as I say, I'm a
- 51:57Philip Rivers, you know, believer. I
- 51:59would love it if we can't win it that
- 52:02Philip Rivers comes off off the sofa,
- 52:05gets his uh gets his five years of
- 52:07medical insurance back because that's
- 52:08that's really why he's come back, isn't
- 52:10it? His his insurance was about to run
- 52:12out and he's just become a granddad and
- 52:13they all go on his uh on his insurance.
- 52:15But, you know, 187, 120 yards, one
- 52:18touchdown, one pick. He he game managed,
- 52:20which is what he needed to do. Um it's
- 52:22just a shame that uh they let the
- 52:25Seahawks into field goal range six
- 52:27times. But
- 52:30>> I will say this, if you're a Colts fam,
- 52:33you're not too disheartened after that
- 52:34loss.
- 52:35>> I'd agree.
- 52:37>> Uh Steve, what your thoughts?
- 52:40>> Um
- 52:42I don't think the Colts are going to
- 52:43make the playoffs at all. I don't think
- 52:45I don't think Rivers is going to do it.
- 52:48Um, but also Philip Rivers did throw
- 52:51more touchdowns this week than Patrick
- 52:52Mahomes did, which obviously not hard,
- 52:55but
- 52:58yeah, I agree, Cameron. I agree that the
- 53:01Colts defense is definitely not good
- 53:04enough
- 53:05>> considering how cuz they they were top
- 53:07of the the shop. They've had a pretty
- 53:09poor few weeks. U, but we all said this
- 53:12was going to happen. And look, we we say
- 53:13stuff's going to happen all the time. It
- 53:14doesn't. Um but very very very
- 53:18interesting results. Um right, let's get
- 53:21to it. Next one. Um Denver Broncos
- 53:24against the Green Bay Packers. It was
- 53:25another 50/50 vote. Um the Broncos won
- 53:2834 to 26. Myself and Lee backed the
- 53:31Broncos. Um Steve, you backed the
- 53:35Packers because your mate told you to.
- 53:37Um no, I do you know what? This was this
- 53:40was a really good game. Um it was going
- 53:41to show both teams, you know, where
- 53:43they're at. Um,
- 53:46obviously Broncos are sitting great in a
- 53:4812-2. I I believe playoffs top spot is
- 53:52secured if the Pats get beat um this
- 53:55week. Might be wrong on that again.
- 53:58Won't be the first time. Um, but it was
- 54:00it was a good win. Um, I thought Bon
- 54:02Knicks, you know, had a good game. Um,
- 54:04Packers, you know, obviously a very very
- 54:06good team. We, you know, we we've
- 54:08praised them quite a lot throughout the
- 54:09season. Um, however, are the Packers not
- 54:12going to make the playoffs? No, Packers
- 54:13are making the playoffs. Interesting
- 54:15game. Hang on. We've got a comment here.
- 54:17Anyone, what's I saying? Anyone make
- 54:20that money bet that Rivers would be
- 54:21having more yards than Momes?
- 54:24That That's a That's a great comment.
- 54:26That's a great comment. Um, but yeah,
- 54:28look, Steve, you're going to go to your
- 54:31last on this one. I'm going to let you
- 54:32may go up first.
- 54:36>> Through three quarters, it was a very
- 54:38good game. It was, you know, I I was
- 54:42happy with how Jordan Love played the
- 54:44first drive. He only really made I think
- 54:47he made one incompletion and that was
- 54:48the pass through to the end zone uh on
- 54:51third down. We looked like we were
- 54:53moving the ball well and and similarly
- 54:57one one thing and I think this is what
- 54:59really shocked me. We were playing so
- 55:01much soft zone against a team Bix is
- 55:06been incredible at sticking the ball
- 55:07under the linebackers and putting the
- 55:09ball under under zone coverage and he
- 55:11has been good at it all season and and
- 55:13we were playing so much soft zone and
- 55:15just letting like Lil Jordan Humphrey
- 55:17was just getting underneath. Marvin Mims
- 55:19was getting underneath and and I was
- 55:20just like this is not what we've been
- 55:24good at. You do have a fantastic
- 55:26offensive line which kind of neuted
- 55:28Parsons and Gary a little bit.
- 55:30>> I want I want to say a comment on what
- 55:32you just said there. We've had a great
- 55:34old line for about three four years.
- 55:37>> Um so it's very interesting for me to to
- 55:40try and figure like I mean I'm just a
- 55:42fan. Let let me be into it. But just to
- 55:45try and figure out how it's changed so
- 55:47much because when we had Wilson as the
- 55:49as the QB,
- 55:51you know, there was there was okay bits,
- 55:54you know, but we didn't make the
- 55:55playoffs. Bonixes came in. First year we
- 55:59made the playoffs. Um it was a good
- 56:02first year. Second year it's absolutely
- 56:05jelling. So I' I'd be curious for you
- 56:08because obviously you made a comment
- 56:09before about like you know Lamar
- 56:11Jackson's only done so and this was your
- 56:13what you said Lamar Jackson's only done
- 56:15so good because he's had a really good O
- 56:17line any you know
- 56:19>> but Broncos have had this really good O
- 56:20line for three four years we agreed that
- 56:22before so why is it only working now
- 56:24with Bonix for you what's changed
- 56:26>> Sean Sean oh god
- 56:28>> my second question is um what's it take
- 56:32for the Packers to go all the way
- 56:35So
- 56:37it works with B Nicks because Shawn
- 56:38Payeyton got the guy that he wanted. So
- 56:41in the same way that when he was at New
- 56:42Orleans, Drew Brees was his guy, he
- 56:45wanted him and he built that offense
- 56:47around him. I think what we've seen with
- 56:52Bo Nicks is Shawn Peyton changed the
- 56:55system. I don't think that it worked for
- 56:58Wilson. I don't think that it worked for
- 57:00Zack uh well for either Wilson to be
- 57:02honest. Zack or Russell. Um, but Bon
- 57:06Knicks is a guy that one one question of
- 57:09Bon Knicks was always his his downfield,
- 57:12you know, his downfield ball
- 57:14>> and and what they've shown is they don't
- 57:16need it. Like there was one pass that
- 57:18really annoyed me and it was Cotland
- 57:21Sutton. Uh, I think it was in the third
- 57:24quarter and it went down to Courtland
- 57:26Sutton and he was against Nate Hobbes.
- 57:27And what worries me is every time the
- 57:28ball goes near Nate Hobbs I panic
- 57:30because he's a terrible terrible
- 57:32boundary corner. But Courtland Sutton is
- 57:34he's a good he's a good receiver. I
- 57:35think he's under undervalued is
- 57:36Courtland Sutton.
- 57:37>> You know what? I think I should have got
- 57:39on my shirt and I may hang on you have
- 57:41to tell me. Oh god. Don't break stuff
- 57:43here. Right. Hang on.
- 57:45>> Ah, can you see?
- 57:48>> Yes. Number 14.
- 57:50Courtland.
- 57:51>> And do you know what? He's only had a
- 57:52good season cuz my wife bought this
- 57:53shirt.
- 57:54>> That's all I'm saying.
- 57:56>> Yeah. I I think I think I think the fact
- 57:58is and and the way that it the way that
- 57:59it goes and why it's working for the
- 58:01Broncos is because that you're not
- 58:02trying to do anything too clever. It's
- 58:05hit the checkdowns, make sure that make
- 58:07sure that you're doing the right things,
- 58:09doing the fundamentals right. You've
- 58:11also got a good running back, which is
- 58:13nice to see. Um, but I think it's just
- 58:17coming together.
- 58:19The defense is fantastic. The O line's
- 58:21brilliant, which gives Bon Bon time. And
- 58:25I I I don't think that there is a team
- 58:28in the AFC that beat you. I think the
- 58:30Broncos will make the Super Bowl. In
- 58:32terms of the second question, what does
- 58:34it take for the Packers to make it? A
- 58:36bit of luck is the honest answer because
- 58:38the reason we've looked so good this
- 58:40season is because we have had Parson's
- 58:45being doubled and it's allowed Rashan
- 58:47Garry to get spe because Rashan Gary's a
- 58:48good edge rusher. He's not a great edge
- 58:50rusher, but he's a good one. He's got a
- 58:52good motor and he will get to the
- 58:53quarterback.
- 58:54>> The issue that we've got now is who
- 58:57comes in on the other side is Lucas
- 58:59Vaness. I don't rate him. He shouldn't
- 59:01have gone 13th in the draft. It was a
- 59:03bad bad pick, but whatever. Gary looked
- 59:07lethargic in the third and fourth
- 59:09quarter against you. He wasn't trying to
- 59:12push to the quarterback. He wasn't
- 59:13trying to get there. Our secondary is
- 59:15weak. I McKinn's brilliant. I really
- 59:18like Williams. The issue that I've got
- 59:21is we don't have a true boundary corner.
- 59:23We don't have a great nickel back
- 59:26either. Um though Bullard's been okay,
- 59:29but I don't think we've got a true true
- 59:33secondary really. It's not like where we
- 59:35had Woodson. It's not like when
- 59:36Alexander was great. We don't have that.
- 59:38So, a little bit of luck and Jordan Love
- 59:41taking his Toyota form into the
- 59:43playoffs. So when Toyathon ends, we need
- 59:46him to pretend it's not ended and then
- 59:48to keep playing well. Um, also Christian
- 59:51Watson, without him on the field, we
- 59:52don't stretch. We we've got no
- 59:55separation without Christian Watson on
- 59:56the field. And it's it's very telling
- 1:00:00that as soon as he was gone, as soon as
- 1:00:02he was out in the third quarter after
- 1:00:04that interception from Certain, we went
- 1:00:07completely limp. And that's the problem
- 1:00:10that I worry about because he's so
- 1:00:11injuryprone.
- 1:00:13Okay, Steve, you're up.
- 1:00:18>> Yeah, I I think I think mostly the
- 1:00:21Packers defense,
- 1:00:23especially now that Parsons has gone, is
- 1:00:25going to be the problem.
- 1:00:29I think I think I think you've got a
- 1:00:31solid squad on offense, but as you were
- 1:00:34just saying, the defense
- 1:00:36not amazing. So my thing on that is is I
- 1:00:39agree he's a massive massive loss but
- 1:00:42you'll have people wanting to step up
- 1:00:43and go I can do it. Pay me that one.
- 1:00:45I'll do it. It
- 1:00:46>> it's not even that though. It's not
- 1:00:47that. It's the fear factor. It's like
- 1:00:49when you play against Man City for
- 1:00:51instance and I I'll I'll allude it to
- 1:00:52football. When you play against Man City
- 1:00:54and you know that Erling Harland's on
- 1:00:56the pitch, you are scared. Everything go
- 1:00:58you know that you've got to double him.
- 1:01:00You know you've got to stick two or
- 1:01:01three defenders on him. the minute he's
- 1:01:02not on the pitch and you and I think I
- 1:01:04saw it against Brenford earlier in the
- 1:01:06season. They just as soon as he was off
- 1:01:07the pitch, they got they were free and
- 1:01:09they started going and they started
- 1:01:11attacking and and and it's it's that
- 1:01:13it's not necessarily what he's going to
- 1:01:14do.
- 1:01:15>> ACL is fear.
- 1:01:17>> Yeah. So, he's going to be out till
- 1:01:18maybe week eight next season push. And
- 1:01:20if it was me, I wouldn't I would not
- 1:01:23have him play at all next season. I'd
- 1:01:25say next season's a write off. Let's
- 1:01:27wait. Let's get him back because the if
- 1:01:29he rushes back and I look at I look at
- 1:01:31Aiden Hutchinson, right? Aiden
- 1:01:33Hutchinson has not come back the same
- 1:01:35player since he did his ACL. He's not
- 1:01:37the same guy. And and I do not want to
- 1:01:40rush somebody back before they're ready.
- 1:01:42And I I'd say the same thing about
- 1:01:43Mahomes as well. If I was the Chiefs,
- 1:01:45tank next season. Don't activate Momes
- 1:01:48at all and and just let it go because
- 1:01:52there's there's there's no point because
- 1:01:54elongating somebody's career is more
- 1:01:56important, especially if they're a a
- 1:01:58franchise face and they're a face of the
- 1:02:00league. You want them in the league as
- 1:02:02much as possible and they would be
- 1:02:03stupid to try and rush him back. But
- 1:02:05that's that's just how I see. Also, by
- 1:02:07the way, I saw that comment from coach
- 1:02:08Russ. I appreciate that, man. Thank you
- 1:02:09very much. I did see it. Okay, we've got
- 1:02:12to move on because we've gone over the
- 1:02:15shows a lot of time and we've still got
- 1:02:17three games at half time to go through.
- 1:02:19So, I'm going to these next three ones
- 1:02:20I'm just going to go over quickly. Okay.
- 1:02:22Um
- 1:02:24um okay, we don't know who you are, but
- 1:02:27someone's just clearly not happy. Um so,
- 1:02:29um 49ers against the Titans. The 49ers
- 1:02:32won 37-24.
- 1:02:35Titans absolutely horrendous. 49ers as
- 1:02:38it stands looking very good for the
- 1:02:39playoffs. Not really got much to say on
- 1:02:41that. We expected that one. Are we
- 1:02:43correct, Chance?
- 1:02:44>> Yeah.
- 1:02:45>> Yeah. Um the Cowboys got beat against
- 1:02:47the Vikings. This was a bit of a
- 1:02:49surprise. We all backed the Cowboys 34
- 1:02:51to 26.
- 1:02:53Cowboys pretty much all but eliminated.
- 1:02:55They're not technically. I think if they
- 1:02:57win this weekend, they've got a 2%
- 1:02:58chance of making it.
- 1:03:00>> Eagles have got to lose out at this
- 1:03:01point. They if if Dallas finish 97 and
- 1:03:04one, the Eagles need to lose every game,
- 1:03:05which is not going to happen, is it? So,
- 1:03:07>> yeah. Um, and then after that we got the
- 1:03:10Steelers against the Dolphins, which was
- 1:03:12the Monday night game, um, or Tuesday
- 1:03:14morning if you're British. Um, and it
- 1:03:17was 28-5 to the Steelers. It was a 50/50
- 1:03:20vote. Uh, I backed the Dolphins. Uh,
- 1:03:23Steely backed the Steelers. We've We're
- 1:03:25all done. We're all done on week 15.
- 1:03:27>> I'll I'll do a Ste quickly. Dolphins are
- 1:03:290 and8 in games under Mike McDaniel when
- 1:03:31temperatures are below 40 degrees
- 1:03:33Fahrenheit.
- 1:03:34>> Wow.
- 1:03:36>> They do not like the cold. Uh, I don't
- 1:03:38really call it either. Um, right. So, we
- 1:03:42um
- 1:03:45I'm going to just talk about the playoff
- 1:03:47uh picture dead quickly. So, um AFC um
- 1:03:53we've got the Broncos, them the Pats,
- 1:03:55the Jags, the Steelers, the Chargers, uh
- 1:03:58the Bills, the Texans in on the bubble,
- 1:04:01the Colts. If they win this weekend,
- 1:04:03there's apparently there's a 25% chance
- 1:04:05they'll make it. And then we got the
- 1:04:06Ravens who if they win this weekend have
- 1:04:08got a 49 49% chance of making it. I do
- 1:04:10think the Ravens will win. Um and then
- 1:04:13if we go over to the NFC,
- 1:04:16uh Rams are currently top 11 and three.
- 1:04:18Then the Bears how they've climbed.
- 1:04:20Fantastic. The Eagles 9 and five. The
- 1:04:23Books. Um the Seahawks. The 49ers.
- 1:04:27>> Books still in there.
- 1:04:28>> The Bucks. Yeah. I think they're top of
- 1:04:30their party
- 1:04:31>> because it's the worst division in
- 1:04:32football. Anyone can win. Yeah. And do
- 1:04:35you do you know what's NFC South? Do you
- 1:04:38know I'd have to literally click on the
- 1:04:39NFC South, but the Panthers are still in
- 1:04:41the running for the playoffs.
- 1:04:42>> Why? Um, sorry. We were at Yeah. the the
- 1:04:45Buccaneers, the Seahawks, the 49ers, the
- 1:04:47Packers, the Lions. The Lions are in for
- 1:04:49a shout. If they win, there's a 47%
- 1:04:51chance they'll make it. Apparently, if
- 1:04:53the Panthers win, there's a 44% chance.
- 1:04:55And let's all laugh at them boys. If the
- 1:04:57Cowboys win, there's a 2% chance of
- 1:04:58making the playoffs. They making
- 1:04:59playoffs. Um, okay. Look, we we've
- 1:05:03obviously gone over a lot of time, but
- 1:05:04we've still got week 16 to go through.
- 1:05:06So, we're going to go through it. Um I
- 1:05:08think this is going to be another
- 1:05:10another brilliant week for football.
- 1:05:11There's some brilliant games and
- 1:05:13considering at this point in the season
- 1:05:15more and more teams have no chance of
- 1:05:16making it, there's not really them, you
- 1:05:18know, that many games you're not
- 1:05:19interested. So, we're going to start off
- 1:05:21um Seahawks verse Rams. Um I'm actually
- 1:05:26going to go for the Seahawks on this
- 1:05:27one. Um, I'm going to go to you, Steve.
- 1:05:31>> Yeah, Rams for me, but I think you've
- 1:05:34got the right response. I don't know.
- 1:05:35Maybe the Seahawks can put it together.
- 1:05:37>> Yeah,
- 1:05:38>> they do have the number one offense and
- 1:05:40defense, or at least they did last week.
- 1:05:42I again, I haven't looked at numbers
- 1:05:44this year, this week. Okay, Cameron,
- 1:05:48>> Seattle need to win because at the
- 1:05:50minute the Rams have the tiebreaker over
- 1:05:51them after week 11. But if no Devonte
- 1:05:55Adams,
- 1:05:57I can't I think I think the Seahawks
- 1:06:00going to take it. Their defense is so is
- 1:06:01so much better than the Rams.
- 1:06:04>> Okay. Um, Commanders, Eagles, really
- 1:06:08looking forward to this one. Even though
- 1:06:10the Commanders have nothing to play for,
- 1:06:11but I'm I'm going to back the Eagles. I
- 1:06:13think this would this would be a good
- 1:06:15game for the Eagles to get them dust
- 1:06:17themselves off in the playoffs. Um at
- 1:06:20this point you you know you no one
- 1:06:22thinks the play Eagles aren't going to
- 1:06:23make the playoffs, right?
- 1:06:26>> No, I they've got to haven't they really
- 1:06:29>> at this point you know are they trying
- 1:06:30plays they've not not done before or so
- 1:06:32on so forth. Um I just it's going to be
- 1:06:34a good game for Eagles to get themselves
- 1:06:35prepped for them playoffs. So but I'll
- 1:06:36be picking Eagles. Um Cameron,
- 1:06:39>> this is the sort of game and I've seen
- 1:06:41you see you see it every season that
- 1:06:43Jaylen Herz can't he can't throw a pass.
- 1:06:47I'm going to say the Commanders win this
- 1:06:49and it's not going to be a nice game.
- 1:06:51It's going to be a horrible horrible
- 1:06:53game and the Marcus Mariota is going to
- 1:06:56beat Jaylen Herz.
- 1:07:00>> Wouldn't it be great if they got beat
- 1:07:01with a tush push?
- 1:07:03>> It would.
- 1:07:06Two seconds to go in the game. Uh Rams
- 1:07:08for sure tonight. Um what they did to
- 1:07:10Simon the ghost seer last year. Okay. Um
- 1:07:14Steve, did you pick one?
- 1:07:16>> Uh and annoyingly Cameron's basically
- 1:07:19said what I was what I was going to say.
- 1:07:21I'm going commanders.
- 1:07:22>> Okay. What the hell is going on? Lee
- 1:07:25would be having an epi fit. He's behind
- 1:07:27you. Um the Bears against the Packers
- 1:07:31game of the week. I don't know. Seahawks
- 1:07:33Rams could be bass packers could be. Um
- 1:07:36I'm going to be back in the base. Um
- 1:07:38just from what I've seen, they just keep
- 1:07:41going and going and going. I feel like
- 1:07:43it's going to be a brilliant game. Um
- 1:07:45I'm going to go to Steve first on this
- 1:07:47one.
- 1:07:48>> Uh I don't I don't think the Packers are
- 1:07:50going to sweep the Bears. I think
- 1:07:53they're going to have enough to They've
- 1:07:55got a rough idea from a couple of weeks
- 1:07:57ago. I think the Bears take this one.
- 1:07:59>> Okay, Cameron.
- 1:08:01I think everybody thinks we're gonna
- 1:08:03lose this one because we've not got
- 1:08:04Micah Parsons. I don't think that Caleb
- 1:08:08Williams is ready to to go like
- 1:08:11effectively. This is not win or go home,
- 1:08:13but it's it's win and make the top seed
- 1:08:16or lose and be potentially seventh,
- 1:08:19maybe not making the playoffs. So, I
- 1:08:22don't think that he's been in enough of
- 1:08:23those situations to be able to handle
- 1:08:25the pressure. And I think that Jordan
- 1:08:28Love will play a sensible game and Josh
- 1:08:30Jacobs will go off for over 100 yards.
- 1:08:32So I think the Packers win.
- 1:08:34>> Okay. Uh next up we've got the Cowboys
- 1:08:37against the Chargers. Um I'm going for
- 1:08:40the Chargers. It's that's easy enough
- 1:08:42for me.
- 1:08:44Uh Steve,
- 1:08:47>> uh I'm going Cowboys, but that's just
- 1:08:49mostly because I'm bitter at this point.
- 1:08:53Um
- 1:08:55Cameron,
- 1:08:56>> uh Chargers. I I I there's there's no
- 1:09:00real way that the Cowboys can win this,
- 1:09:02I don't think.
- 1:09:04>> Cool. U next up, we got the Giants to
- 1:09:06the Vikings. I'm going to be going for
- 1:09:08the Vikings. Um Cameron.
- 1:09:12>> Yeah, unfortunately. I think that is the
- 1:09:15way that it's going to go.
- 1:09:18>> Yeah, I'm going Vikings, too.
- 1:09:20>> Cool. Uh after that we've got um the
- 1:09:22Dolphins against the Bengals. Um I'm
- 1:09:26both teams are out. I'm I'm right in
- 1:09:28saying
- 1:09:31>> uh I'm pretty sure the Bengals are I'm
- 1:09:33not sure about
- 1:09:34>> Dolphins went out on Sunday night when
- 1:09:35they got beat.
- 1:09:36>> Oh, remember the QB situation? Uh I'm
- 1:09:39going to be going for
- 1:09:41>> the Dolphins.
- 1:09:43Um Steve,
- 1:09:46>> uh I
- 1:09:47>> it's a bad game. This is a game. This
- 1:09:50game, this game could go either way.
- 1:09:53Burrow could pull up a 50 points or he
- 1:09:57could put up zero points. Who knows? Um
- 1:09:59but like yeah, Dolphins.
- 1:10:02>> Okay. Uh Cameron,
- 1:10:04>> I think it's crazy that we're even
- 1:10:06considering that the Dolphins could win
- 1:10:07this game. Like with the talent with the
- 1:10:09talent that the Bengals have got, if
- 1:10:11they do not win this game, then Jamar
- 1:10:13Chase, T. Higgins and Joe Burrow, all of
- 1:10:17their stock drops so significantly that
- 1:10:20even if they did want to move off them
- 1:10:22at any point, there's no way they'll be
- 1:10:23able to. And watch that happen on
- 1:10:25Sunday. Okay. Um next up, next up we've
- 1:10:28got a bit of a make or break game. We've
- 1:10:30got Panthers against the Buccaneers. Um
- 1:10:32Panthers are somehow still scraping into
- 1:10:35the season. Um Books, as mentioned
- 1:10:38before, stand quicker than the Titanic.
- 1:10:41Um I'm going to go for the Pantheia. As
- 1:10:43most the first week I've not picked the
- 1:10:45books. Um
- 1:10:48Steve, I'm gonna go for you on this one,
- 1:10:49mate.
- 1:10:50>> Yeah, I'm going Panthers and I'm
- 1:10:52thinking about redoing my playoff
- 1:10:55predictions because I had the Bucks in
- 1:10:56originally.
- 1:10:57>> Uh we've got a great comment here.
- 1:10:58Bengals can score 40 and still lose.
- 1:11:01>> Very true.
- 1:11:02>> Yeah.
- 1:11:03>> Um Cameron, you're up, buddy.
- 1:11:06>> Um
- 1:11:07I think the Panthers win this one, the
- 1:11:10Books win in week 18 when it matters.
- 1:11:12And then the books make the playoffs.
- 1:11:15>> Oh,
- 1:11:17but I I see them going out in the first
- 1:11:18game in the playoffs, though.
- 1:11:19>> Oh, absolutely. But but I but I think
- 1:11:22when it comes to it in in in life on the
- 1:11:25line situations, there is not a better
- 1:11:27quarterback in the league than Baker
- 1:11:29Mayfield. I don't trust it's like it's
- 1:11:31like Ronaldo on a penalty in a World Cup
- 1:11:33final. You want him there every time.
- 1:11:35Baker Mayfield is that guy.
- 1:11:37>> Yeah.
- 1:11:38>> Interesting. Um, next up, Saints versus
- 1:11:42the Jets. State, I'm gonna go to you
- 1:11:44first on this one, mate.
- 1:11:46>> Oh, Christ. Do I have to choose?
- 1:11:48>> Yep.
- 1:11:50>> Um, Jets, I think, maybe. I don't know.
- 1:11:54They're both awful teams. Who cares at
- 1:11:55this point?
- 1:11:56>> Cameron,
- 1:11:57>> Tyler Shook's not a bad quarterback, you
- 1:12:00know, and the Jets are all time awful. I
- 1:12:04was going to use a a nonPG word there.
- 1:12:09The Jets are they're gone. I don't I
- 1:12:12don't know what's going to happen with
- 1:12:13them in the offseason, but yeah, New
- 1:12:14Orleans win this.
- 1:12:15>> Okay. Um I'm going for the Jets.
- 1:12:20No reason. Um at this point, please
- 1:12:23don't take any offense if anyone's this
- 1:12:24team. I don't care about either team.
- 1:12:25They've just been that bad all season.
- 1:12:28Um you know, like
- 1:12:31>> you'll be you'll come up obviously you
- 1:12:33want to watch your team and then you'll
- 1:12:34see how bad a team is. I wouldn't want
- 1:12:36to watch them again like um Okay, next
- 1:12:39one we've got um Browns and Bills.
- 1:12:42Cameron, we're going to try something
- 1:12:43with you. Okay,
- 1:12:45>> we're going to say the team that we
- 1:12:46think is going to win after three.
- 1:12:49>> Browns or Bills? One, two, three. Bills.
- 1:12:52>> Bills.
- 1:12:53>> Perfect. On to the next one. Um Titans
- 1:12:56against the Chiefs. Um I'm going for the
- 1:12:58Titans win on this. I You've got a
- 1:13:01second string QB. Um, Titans will be
- 1:13:04smelling some bit of blood. Um, and
- 1:13:07you're a team that people want to play
- 1:13:10against
- 1:13:12like you're 100, you know, you know,
- 1:13:15people aren't going to give, you know,
- 1:13:17oh, I'm going to play the the Falcons.
- 1:13:19I'm not really I'm not bothered about
- 1:13:20that, but next week you get to play the
- 1:13:21Chiefs. I'm looking forward. Do you get
- 1:13:22that? Get what I mean by that part? Um,
- 1:13:24so yeah,
- 1:13:25>> I'm going to be going for the Titans on
- 1:13:26this one. Cameron,
- 1:13:29>> the Titans first stringers aren't as
- 1:13:32good as the Chiefs second stringers. So,
- 1:13:35>> yeah, but you said you said before this
- 1:13:37team wasn't a great team.
- 1:13:39>> It's not, but the Titans are awful. The
- 1:13:42Titans are awful bad. Like, what do they
- 1:13:45have that's a redeeming factor? They've
- 1:13:46got nothing. Um,
- 1:13:49>> yeah, Chiefs.
- 1:13:50>> Chiefs. Okay, Steve.
- 1:13:53Uh yeah, I agree with you a little bit,
- 1:13:56Matteo. I I think I think the Titans
- 1:14:00have the chance of doing it, but as as I
- 1:14:03have done all season, I'm picking the
- 1:14:05Chiefs.
- 1:14:06>> Okay. Uh onto the next one. We've got
- 1:14:07the Broncos against the Jags. Again,
- 1:14:11there's a few games where I've said it
- 1:14:12could be game in the week. I think this
- 1:14:14one's going to be a great game. Is it
- 1:14:15going to be game of a week? We'll find
- 1:14:16out. Um I'm looking forward to it. Um,
- 1:14:18I'm looking forward to see how the Jags
- 1:14:20uh cope with um, you know, the top
- 1:14:23sacking team of the season. Um, so I'm
- 1:14:25going to be back in the Broncos, but I
- 1:14:26think it's be a great game. Um, Steve,
- 1:14:28let's go to you on this one.
- 1:14:31>> Yeah, you as you said, there's mostly
- 1:14:33going to be your D line that's going to
- 1:14:35win.
- 1:14:36>> Steve, I want you to say this and I want
- 1:14:38you to visualize in your head that you
- 1:14:40don't actually follow a football team.
- 1:14:42Okay, now your team's out. just just
- 1:14:44pretend that you don't like you don't
- 1:14:46like or you don't love either team and
- 1:14:47go.
- 1:14:50>> Yeah. Again, as I was saying, I think
- 1:14:52Dline is going to win this for you.
- 1:14:55>> I think um their O line is awful.
- 1:14:59Yeah, Lawrence gets sacked a lot.
- 1:15:01>> He does. He does.
- 1:15:02>> I I don't I don't think again I don't
- 1:15:04think it's going to be another game
- 1:15:05where you put up many points, but I
- 1:15:08think your defense is going to win this
- 1:15:10way. Do you think like a a field goal
- 1:15:12distance like difference or like a a
- 1:15:14touchdown difference?
- 1:15:17>> Field goal.
- 1:15:17>> Oh, I like them games. Okay, Cameron,
- 1:15:20you're on me. Uh, as hot as Jacksonville
- 1:15:23have been, you know, five wins in a row.
- 1:15:25Trevor Lawrence, nine TDDs, zero
- 1:15:27interceptions in the past three weeks.
- 1:15:29It's at mile high and Denver do not lose
- 1:15:32against teams that play at sea level at
- 1:15:34mile high very often. You're 7 and0 this
- 1:15:36season at home and I don't think that
- 1:15:41Jacksonville going to a very frigid
- 1:15:44Colorado, you know, Sunday evening is
- 1:15:48going to I I can't see the Jags winning.
- 1:15:50I just can't see it.
- 1:15:51>> I I I lived there, mate. And I lived
- 1:15:54there for a good amount of time and it's
- 1:15:55a beautiful place, but that altitude
- 1:15:58kicks your butt. M
- 1:16:00>> um I I was up and about 10,000 ft above
- 1:16:04sea level and we came down to where the
- 1:16:06signal was so I could call my dad and
- 1:16:08let him know I'm okay. So my dad went
- 1:16:09put Troy on. Troy Troy's the dad of the
- 1:16:12family and he goes yeah he goes is he is
- 1:16:14he drunk or high? He went no it's just
- 1:16:16the altitude like you get altitude
- 1:16:18sickness and you get all sort like
- 1:16:20>> I had two now I'm a guy back then who I
- 1:16:22could drink 15 beers and go right let's
- 1:16:24get the bottle of room out. I had two
- 1:16:26and a half beers and got put to bed like
- 1:16:28on one of my first nights there like
- 1:16:29crazy.
- 1:16:30>> Jesus Christ.
- 1:16:32>> Yeah. Um go on, mate. As you were.
- 1:16:35>> Uh but yeah, I I think you know after
- 1:16:37seeing it seeing it last week and and
- 1:16:38we've got a far far better defense than
- 1:16:40Jacksonville have, um as good as their
- 1:16:43offense is,
- 1:16:45again, I think the altitude is going to
- 1:16:47play a factor. You've not lost at home
- 1:16:48this season. You get the number one seed
- 1:16:51and I think that that's that. I think I
- 1:16:53as I say I don't think minimum
- 1:16:55expectation has to be championship game
- 1:16:57for you now.
- 1:16:58>> Yeah. Um
- 1:17:00I I think it's a great comment about the
- 1:17:01altitude and I always talk I love the
- 1:17:03fact that it's not talked about enough
- 1:17:04that that homefield advantage um because
- 1:17:08you know we don't have nothing like that
- 1:17:10over here.
- 1:17:12>> No
- 1:17:13>> nothing at all like that. Where you go
- 1:17:15Highlands in Scotland it's nothing like
- 1:17:17that. And when I say
- 1:17:21you get tired, obviously last time I was
- 1:17:23in the States, I I was 22 plus stone. So
- 1:17:27was a much bigger guy. You'd go up the
- 1:17:29stairs, you'd be out of breath. I'm
- 1:17:32talking eight sets of, you know, eight
- 1:17:33sets of stairs. You're napping like two,
- 1:17:35three times a day. Not because um
- 1:17:38because the jet lag, the altitude, it's
- 1:17:40crazy. But
- 1:17:41>> here's an interesting one. Do you think
- 1:17:42that's why you play a lot of underneath
- 1:17:45football and not big long
- 1:17:48go routes because if you were playing go
- 1:17:49routes or or you know sending people on
- 1:17:52like deep corners, deep pins,
- 1:17:55>> if you were doing that, you're getting
- 1:17:56gassed after two and a half, three
- 1:17:58quarters. Yes, you're playing there
- 1:17:59quite a lot of the year, but there's
- 1:18:01players that are, you know, you're
- 1:18:02playing elsewhere. You're getting on jet
- 1:18:03lag. You're getting all that sort of
- 1:18:04stuff.
- 1:18:05>> Is that why it's worked well this
- 1:18:07season? Because you're playing smart
- 1:18:09underneath checkown football in the
- 1:18:10main.
- 1:18:11>> I think you'd have to be a total idiot
- 1:18:14to not take advantage of the altitude.
- 1:18:16Oh, absolutely. Absolutely.
- 1:18:17>> No, no other team has it has it like
- 1:18:19that. It's called the Mile High Stadium
- 1:18:21for a reason.
- 1:18:22>> So, yes, I I do think we do. I think
- 1:18:24we've got a great coaching staff. I
- 1:18:26think,
- 1:18:27>> you know, people go on, well, you've
- 1:18:28lost two games. The two games we lost
- 1:18:30this season were last second field
- 1:18:32goals. Well, Payton Manner did a lot of
- 1:18:34goal routes. Yeah. Yeah. Correct. Um, so
- 1:18:38it's it's it's mental for me because
- 1:18:40this is the first year I've done this
- 1:18:41program. Um, so I've got more into it
- 1:18:44than than I ever have because I want to
- 1:18:46know what I'm talking about, what I'm
- 1:18:47watching, what's good, what's bad, but
- 1:18:50Broncos, it it's been consistent all
- 1:18:53season. So that's why I'm very confident
- 1:18:55of how far we'll go. Um, it has been a
- 1:18:58crazy season, don't get me wrong, but
- 1:19:01>> go going back to Altitude, you do see
- 1:19:03them with oxygen tanks. I'm hoping they
- 1:19:06run out of in the nicest way possible
- 1:19:09and we we get the job done because if we
- 1:19:11do I think it's pretty much title
- 1:19:13sealed. And look, even if we won the
- 1:19:16first playoff game and lost or whatever,
- 1:19:18>> it's been a great season compared to
- 1:19:19what we've had. It's it's been
- 1:19:22brilliant. No, Bonix is just not that
- 1:19:24good. I think Bonix is is so we had good
- 1:19:27great and um I said god level.
- 1:19:31>> Uh I don't think Bonix is great yet, but
- 1:19:33I think he's on the way there. You look
- 1:19:35at the great QBs who played the Broncos,
- 1:19:37they always gone, "Well, the stats, he's
- 1:19:38doing better in that, you know, his
- 1:19:40first two seasons than some of the
- 1:19:42really good QBs we've had." So, it's
- 1:19:44it's very very interesting to see how
- 1:19:47he's going to do. I don't I don't think
- 1:19:48he's great. I think he's good, but I
- 1:19:50think after this season, you could
- 1:19:52potentially class him as great next
- 1:19:53season. It's going to be interesting to
- 1:19:54see how he he does under that pressure.
- 1:19:56You know, we talk
- 1:19:57>> Well, this is it. One thing I think
- 1:19:59about him that he is so good at and and
- 1:20:02it's it's what and led to Micah Parsons
- 1:20:05just doing his ACL, he's so good at
- 1:20:08evading pressure, man. He's so good. You
- 1:20:11see him boot you see him boot out of a
- 1:20:13out of a shotgun. You see him go and
- 1:20:15it's like, well, he's just going to he's
- 1:20:16just going to cut back and you know he's
- 1:20:18gone.
- 1:20:18>> It's it's not eyes in the back of his
- 1:20:20head. It's like he's got eyes in the
- 1:20:21side of his head because
- 1:20:23>> um
- 1:20:24he gets out but then he he goes into
- 1:20:27free space where he can reread the game
- 1:20:29>> see where where he's really good and he
- 1:20:31goes for it and that you know we've been
- 1:20:33really good on third downs and stuff but
- 1:20:35he's not afraid to take a hit and you
- 1:20:37know run into it as well like we talked
- 1:20:39about Jackson before Jackson Bick's a
- 1:20:41complete opposite because
- 1:20:42>> for the run game but Bonix has still
- 1:20:44scored a few a few run touchdowns it's
- 1:20:47going to be interesting let's get on to
- 1:20:48the next one I think we've lost if he
- 1:20:50comes back on. Um but yeah, really,
- 1:20:53really, really good game now, I reckon
- 1:20:55this one. Uh anyway, the next one,
- 1:20:56Cardinals, Falcons. Uh I'm going to go
- 1:20:59to you first on this one, mate. Um
- 1:21:01>> look, look, the Falcons
- 1:21:04have I can't see the cards winning them
- 1:21:07basically saying that Kyle is done. Uh
- 1:21:10Jacobe Brassette's coming in. I think he
- 1:21:12flatted for two weeks and he's back to
- 1:21:14beating Jacobe Brousette. Um,
- 1:21:17>> I'd love to see Kyle Pittz just have a
- 1:21:19mad end to the season just for just for
- 1:21:21the the story and what he might get paid
- 1:21:24in the summer because if the if the
- 1:21:26Falcons don't take a risk on him and pay
- 1:21:28him the money, somebody else will.
- 1:21:30There's a lot of teams that need a tight
- 1:21:31end and he fit really well in a systems.
- 1:21:35>> It's it's not a position that's really
- 1:21:37like do I mean everyone talks about um
- 1:21:39the Chiefs one, but it's not it's it's a
- 1:21:42position that definitely needs more uh
- 1:21:43competition in. Well, look at the
- 1:21:45Falcons. Trey McBride. He's he's the
- 1:21:47first he's I think he broke the record
- 1:21:48last week. He's scored I think it's
- 1:21:52something like 16 games where he's had
- 1:21:54over a certain amount of catches. I
- 1:21:55forget how many it is, but he broke
- 1:21:56Kelsey's record. Um
- 1:21:58>> sorry.
- 1:21:59>> Yeah, go on.
- 1:22:00>> Just got a comment here. I've been told
- 1:22:02to name um an actual good QB. Um
- 1:22:05>> I can name three. Uh John Elway, Payton
- 1:22:08Mannon, and on to that. Crack on mate as
- 1:22:10you were. Sorry. But yeah, I think you
- 1:22:12know as good as
- 1:22:15you know Trey McBride is, they don't
- 1:22:16have any weapons outside Trey McBride
- 1:22:18and it's very easy to guard one player.
- 1:22:20Yes, he's been fantastic even though
- 1:22:22he's been doubled a lot but Atlanta have
- 1:22:24got Ban, they've got Tyler Algier,
- 1:22:27they've got I'd love him. I'd love him
- 1:22:29at Broncos. For me, we don't have a
- 1:22:31brilliant tight end. We don't have I
- 1:22:32don't think we have a good tight end
- 1:22:33really because we don't use him that
- 1:22:35much. But
- 1:22:36>> he he'd be perfect.
- 1:22:37>> Imagine it.
- 1:22:38>> I agree.
- 1:22:39>> He'd just be so good at getting
- 1:22:40underneath. He's so He's so fast.
- 1:22:42>> Deceptively quick.
- 1:22:44>> Yeah.
- 1:22:44>> Yeah. Um so I assume you're going for
- 1:22:46Falcons.
- 1:22:46>> Yes.
- 1:22:47>> Yeah. I'm I'm going to agree with you on
- 1:22:48that one. Go Falcons. I'm going to pick
- 1:22:50Steve Forom and pick Falcons, too, just
- 1:22:51cuz I can. Um yes, John Elway. Um next
- 1:22:55up, we got the Texans and Raiders. Look,
- 1:22:58we're both going to pick the Texans.
- 1:22:59I'll let you say in a second, mate. Um
- 1:23:01>> but what the hell does that franchise
- 1:23:04need to turn it around? Apart from I
- 1:23:07don't know. I don't know anything. The
- 1:23:08Pete Carol experiment has failed. He
- 1:23:11needs to go. Um, and they need to draft
- 1:23:14well because Ashton Genty is great. I
- 1:23:17thought that was a luxury. I think that
- 1:23:18was a really stupid pick from them. As
- 1:23:20good as Ashton Genty is, the issue that
- 1:23:24I've got is that there's no offensive
- 1:23:26line and there's no passing game. So, it
- 1:23:29doesn't matter because he's they know
- 1:23:32what's coming. As soon as Ash Genty
- 1:23:33stood there looking like Mike Meers,
- 1:23:35it's they know it's going to him. say,
- 1:23:38and it's not even like a little bit Mike
- 1:23:39M, it's
- 1:23:41>> fully.
- 1:23:42>> Um, next up we've got the Lions and the
- 1:23:44Steelers. Um, I think it's going to be a
- 1:23:47great game, but I do think the Lions are
- 1:23:48going to get done here. Um, the Steelers
- 1:23:50have been very inconsistent on the fact
- 1:23:52that they're top of their league. It's
- 1:23:54just a bit of a mad league. I'm going to
- 1:23:56go to you on this one, mate.
- 1:23:58>> Uh, the Lions are 0 and5 when their run
- 1:24:01game has been held to under 70 yards uh
- 1:24:04as of last week.
- 1:24:05>> Wow. So with the fact that Pittsburgh
- 1:24:07run defense is so much better than their
- 1:24:10secondary. Yeah.
- 1:24:11>> I am going to suggest that Aaron Rogers
- 1:24:14is a he he's he's still he's still a guy
- 1:24:18if if you give me three or four
- 1:24:20quarterbacks in the league that you want
- 1:24:21in a win or go home game, he's one of
- 1:24:23them even now.
- 1:24:25>> Oh like you you can see when like I
- 1:24:28don't know if you seen there was a clip
- 1:24:29on the weekend someone giving him abuse
- 1:24:30and he just gave it back when they had a
- 1:24:33clip of like the argument going on. It
- 1:24:34was, you know, whoever they were playing
- 1:24:36against and people were looking at him
- 1:24:37like he was a god doer. I'm
- 1:24:39>> like, mate, you're playing against them.
- 1:24:42>> Well, this this is it. DK Metaf has is
- 1:24:44showing that he probably is, you know, a
- 1:24:47top 15 receiver in the league. I mean,
- 1:24:49it helps when you've got Aaron Rogers
- 1:24:51throwing you the ball. But by the same
- 1:24:53token,
- 1:24:53>> I'm sure I'm sure I'd look great.
- 1:24:55>> But by the same token, I don't know if
- 1:24:56you saw his touchdown uh against the
- 1:24:59Dolphins, but he received the ball. He's
- 1:25:02stiff armed one, stiff arms another.
- 1:25:05He's so big, so strong. If you can get
- 1:25:06him in the position, he's he's, you
- 1:25:09know, he's going to do it. And I I don't
- 1:25:10think the Lions are going to have the
- 1:25:12run game to make that play action
- 1:25:14passing game work.
- 1:25:16>> Okay. Um, right. Ravens and Patriots.
- 1:25:20Um,
- 1:25:22I'm going Ravens.
- 1:25:24Um,
- 1:25:26I think Patriots have had a very
- 1:25:28fortunate um, set of teams. They've not
- 1:25:31picked that. They've just beat whoever's
- 1:25:33been in fronting. I know they got beat
- 1:25:34last week. Um maybe I feel for me it's
- 1:25:37going to have a bit of pressure and for
- 1:25:38Ravens it's a mustwin game.
- 1:25:42>> Yeah, I I I think you know they're 39%
- 1:25:46to reach the playoffs at the moment. If
- 1:25:47they win they go up to 47%. But the
- 1:25:49Patriots defense is very very good. Um I
- 1:25:55don't think that they've got enough
- 1:25:58offensively to beat New England who have
- 1:26:01been very efficient. Um it's just
- 1:26:03whether or not they have a collapse like
- 1:26:05they did last week. I mean granted it
- 1:26:07was it was the Bills and Josh Allen's
- 1:26:09just crazy. But I don't think that the
- 1:26:13Ravens have got enough for them. So I'm
- 1:26:14going to say the Patriots win.
- 1:26:17>> Okay. The interesting one. Um, and then
- 1:26:21we've got the Colts um, against the
- 1:26:2349ers. Um, the 49ers are in a great
- 1:26:26position at the moment. I think they're
- 1:26:28they're in the playoffs. Let's have a
- 1:26:29little look. Um, yeah. Um,
- 1:26:33but the Colts, they they need a win. If
- 1:26:36they lose, they're pretty much out. Um,
- 1:26:38so be a TW. They're still not They still
- 1:26:40got a tough tough road to do, but if
- 1:26:42anyone could do it, I think the Colts
- 1:26:43can.
- 1:26:44>> I'm going to pick the Colts. I think
- 1:26:45it's a Monday night game as well, so
- 1:26:46it's going to be an interesting one. Um,
- 1:26:49it look it could go either way. It
- 1:26:51wouldn't surprise me if it did, but
- 1:26:53yeah, I won't pick the Colts.
- 1:26:55>> It's an interesting one because if if
- 1:26:57San Francisco win, they're in. If the
- 1:26:59Steelers beat the Lions and they don't
- 1:27:01win, they're also in. So, realistically,
- 1:27:03they're they're not, you know, they're
- 1:27:06not sort of in we can calm down
- 1:27:08territory because you obviously want
- 1:27:09that momentum going into the playoffs.
- 1:27:11But Indie, if they don't win, like you
- 1:27:14say, that's it, I think. Um, and as I
- 1:27:16say, I'm a Philip Rivers believer. I
- 1:27:19would love Philip Rivers to pull that
- 1:27:21team
- 1:27:22>> from what looked like nothingness and
- 1:27:25get them into the playoffs. I I don't
- 1:27:27think they'll do anything after that,
- 1:27:28but it would just be f I'd love a
- 1:27:30Broncos Colts Championship game because
- 1:27:33I would I if it's if I'm thinking the
- 1:27:35Packers go to the to the Super Bowl,
- 1:27:37which I'd love to happen, and we play
- 1:27:39either the Broncos, which would be just
- 1:27:42a fantastic game of football, or the
- 1:27:45Colts. And
- 1:27:47>> if I was going to lose to any team, let
- 1:27:50it be Philip Rivers, man, because I the
- 1:27:52story would be so good. It was like it's
- 1:27:54like when Liverpool got beat by
- 1:27:55Newcastle's like right if any team's
- 1:27:57going to beat us. I think Newcastle
- 1:27:58would be the top pick. I'll take that.
- 1:28:01>> Well, folks, that's been week 16. Um,
- 1:28:04lock up your fancy football teams. Get
- 1:28:06them all boxed off. You, you know, make
- 1:28:08sure you're all happy. Um, mate, thank
- 1:28:10you very much. I'm sure we'll get you on
- 1:28:11again. Um, you've enjoyed it.
- 1:28:13>> Yeah, really good. Really good. I I I,
- 1:28:15you know, only got a few mates that
- 1:28:16really, you know, watch it, so it's nice
- 1:28:18to get on and have a proper chat about
- 1:28:20it. Sorry, we got a comment. Re recency
- 1:28:23bias definitely is a thing on here.
- 1:28:25Aaron Rogers, best quarterback in
- 1:28:26league, top three or four. Um, hey,
- 1:28:28listen. Um, we're Do you know what?
- 1:28:30Whoever you are, if you ever want to
- 1:28:31come on the show, you're more than
- 1:28:32welcome as long as you don't swear. Um,
- 1:28:35I'm always going to be bit biased
- 1:28:37towards my team. Um, the next few weeks
- 1:28:39are going to be really interesting. As
- 1:28:42well for yourself. Um,
- 1:28:43>> yeah. Yeah. Um, I do the one thing I do
- 1:28:47disagree with both of you on it. I think
- 1:28:48the Titans are gonna do the Chiefs this
- 1:28:50weekend. Um, and the reason for it is is
- 1:28:54I'm a big believer that some teams will
- 1:28:56play a lot better against other teams
- 1:28:58just because it's who they're playing.
- 1:29:00>> I think it matters less because Mahomes
- 1:29:01injured. That's that's where I I'd agree
- 1:29:03with you if Mahomes was was playing.
- 1:29:05>> If I'm playing D line or if I'm playing
- 1:29:07O line, I'm like he's not playing. We
- 1:29:09can get a win against the Chiefs. But
- 1:29:11gardener Mchu manu mania I I can see it.
- 1:29:15I can see it. Do you know what would be
- 1:29:16the worst thing for them and it it
- 1:29:18really would if they win out now and
- 1:29:20they get a better they get a worse draft
- 1:29:22pick than they probably should this
- 1:29:23season and it ruins whatever's going to
- 1:29:25happen following this
- 1:29:27>> which I quite like. I really don't like
- 1:29:28the Chiefs so I wouldn't mind that but
- 1:29:30>> you know
- 1:29:31>> well
- 1:29:33hope hope you've seen this before. Thank
- 1:29:34you very much folks. I've been Matteo.
- 1:29:37>> I've been Cameron.
- 1:29:38>> We'll see you next time. Um, thank you
- 1:29:40very much. Next week we are on on
- 1:29:42Tuesday at the same time. Uh, because
- 1:29:45there's absolutely no chance I'm doing
- 1:29:46this when I'm plastered on Christmas
- 1:29:48Day. We will see you next time, folks.
- 1:29:49Take care.
