Heat. Heat.
0:47
Right.
0:48
>> Okay. So, we've not had a mic test this.
0:51
This is a bit of risky business. Welcome
0:52
to the Audible. It's week 15
0:56
and isn't it great to be a Denver
0:58
Broncos fan? It's absolutely fabuzi.
1:01
Lee, how you doing, mate? Catch much of
1:04
the football the weekend. You had a good
1:06
week. Tell us what's going on. He's
1:09
behind you.
1:10
>> He's behind me. I'm just I'm literally
1:12
um outside the the the theater now,
1:14
ready to go into Pano. So, you've got me
1:16
for about 15 minutes. Um had a crazy
1:18
weekend, been in Germany this weekend.
1:20
So um yeah, kind of catched up on the
1:23
football as uh when I got home. Um
1:26
unfortunately
1:28
obviously witnessed the the Eagles game
1:29
which which you know as as you said it
1:31
was a it was a it was a great game. Just
1:34
didn't kind of fall in the uh in the
1:37
direction I was really hoping that would
1:38
uh would fall. But um yeah. Anyway,
1:41
Steve, what you what you been up to?
1:43
>> Uh watching football. Yeah, pretty much
1:47
that's about it. But I've um got a bit
1:49
of a PSA I want to start with for this
1:51
week.
1:53
So, my fellow listeners, we need to
1:55
talk. Ladies and gentlemen, neutral
1:57
observers, sworn enemies, and all those
1:59
who politely enjoyed my weekly Kansas
2:01
City delusions. Gather close. What I'm
2:04
about to say may shock and disturb you
2:06
and may cause at least three of you to
2:08
pause the podcast and go, "Finally."
2:11
I come before you today with a heavy
2:12
heart, a bruised ego, and a Google
2:14
search history full of phrases like,
2:16
"Cham can optimism be a diagnosible
2:18
condition? I must confess something
2:20
dark, something quite honestly
2:22
embarrassing. I have been a delusional
2:24
Chiefs fan." Yes, I said it. I am in
2:28
fact a podcasting equivalent of a child
2:30
insisting their goldfish is just
2:32
resting.
2:34
I have defended them like a medieval
2:35
knight guarding a cardboard castle.
2:38
justified losses with mental gymnastics
2:40
so complex the ciras called to ask if
2:43
I'm available.
2:44
But today I sit before you a humbled
2:46
man. So here it is my official on the
2:48
record statement. The Chiefs will not
2:51
make the playoffs.
2:52
>> Oh,
2:54
he said it.
2:55
>> There I said it.
2:57
>> The earth didn't split open. The sky
2:59
hasn't fallen. And this room is not
3:00
filled with tiny violinists.
3:03
>> But I accept reality now. A bleak icy
3:05
reality. a reality where the Chiefs are
3:08
watching the playoffs the same way we
3:09
are from the sofa beer and toe judging
3:11
from afar. So to all our listeners, I
3:14
apologize for my delusion, my denial,
3:16
and my unwavering illogical optimism
3:18
that's defied reason, physics, and at
3:20
least one doctor's recommendation. I
3:23
promise to be better. And above all
3:24
else, if the Chiefs somehow make the
3:26
playoffs, I will absolutely 100%
3:28
shamelessly revert back to my full-blown
3:30
delusion.
3:31
Thank you. And they thought on us all.
3:34
>> Yeah, mate. This is [ __ ] awesome.
3:36
>> Oh wow. FYI folks um this is the reason
3:40
we weren't here last week cuz the team
3:41
were awful the week before. So it's not
3:43
just last week as well. Wow. Well with
3:45
with with me. Oh, we got a comment. Runs
3:48
through throwing flags while drinking
3:50
rum. I love that. Have you got any other
3:52
comments? No, just that one so far.
3:54
Well, folks, welcome to the audible.
3:55
Yes, it's week 15. Locking them fantasy
3:58
football teams. Um let me just turn that
4:00
off because we don't have the comments
4:02
showing because we have too many black
4:04
comments. Um yeah, folks, um looking
4:08
forward to Brit Ball starting again
4:10
soon. Um did anyone see the new league
4:12
formation?
4:14
>> Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my god.
4:17
>> So first of all, I don't think any teams
4:20
from England should have to travel to
4:22
Scotland. Um and people one thing I
4:25
always say is is um people are very
4:27
quick to go them poor teams having to
4:29
travel to Abodine. Ab have to do the
4:31
traveling down as well. You got to think
4:33
of both teams. So for me it needs to be
4:34
a Scottish league. Um and obviously try
4:37
and rebuild because there was so many
4:38
teams used to be in Scotland. Um with
4:41
the Northern they've won I've always
4:44
said that Birmingham should never have
4:45
been relegated because
4:48
who was it who didn't? Shropshire
4:49
Revolution didn't finish all the games.
4:51
I know we are going to go into NFL but
4:52
we just want to talk about this quickly.
4:54
So for me the Revs should have been in
4:56
that relegation game against a brilliant
4:58
Leicester. Got nothing but love for
4:59
Leicester. Brilliant team. They're going
5:00
to for me they'll go up again. Um, and
5:04
then I mean what's it looking like down
5:05
south? I mean my geography down south
5:06
isn't particularly fantastic. Any any
5:09
>> I mean I mean the alignments aren't too
5:11
bad. So you know looking at
5:13
>> apart from Scotland I agree.
5:14
>> Yeah. Yeah. I mean the south is is
5:16
fairly fairly quite nicely knitted
5:19
together in but it's just you know
5:21
you're looking at you know the the the
5:24
switch Cardinals and the Norwich Devils
5:26
going up against you know the Olympians
5:28
and and and Hartford cheer cheaters.
5:32
these fantastic teams, you know, it's
5:34
just going to be it's just going to be
5:36
carnage. I really think it's going to be
5:38
carnage. Um, I mean,
5:41
it's probably what the what what the
5:43
league needed, but it's just a shock,
5:46
isn't it? It's just such a shock.
5:48
>> Well, like you you've got So, in a
5:50
northern um league, um I I I think and I
5:56
I've I've inboxed teams that I knew
5:59
around me that were about to fold.
6:01
playing box one team last season. I knew
6:03
there was issues and I was like, "Let me
6:05
help you. I will help you. I look, I'm
6:06
staying with my club, but I will help
6:08
you. I last thing I want to see is a
6:09
team fold. My only concern
6:15
is is teams folding. You don't you don't
6:19
want that." And I think we as a Brit
6:21
community, we need to get around, you
6:23
know, the teams like that who
6:25
potentially could could be in that
6:27
position. So I think you might do you
6:31
see Prem players who go I fancy a bit of
6:33
that because for me
6:36
you might get some Prem players who want
6:37
to go to div one but that might look
6:38
even more appealing to them now because
6:39
it's not just four teams they're going
6:41
to play. So there's so many factors it's
6:44
it's absolutely interesting on um but I
6:47
think we need to talk over some NFL
6:48
football. What you think boys?
6:50
>> I'm excited.
6:52
>> Okay so the first game I want to talk
6:53
about last week was the Kansas City. No,
6:55
I'm not really right.
6:57
Let's get into it. Week 14. Let's start
6:59
it how we mean to. Um the Lions against
7:03
the Cowboys. Um there was no pick sent
7:05
out last week. We were all extremely
7:06
busy as well as our admins on all these
7:08
social media sites, but we're back up
7:10
and running. For anyone who hasn't voted
7:11
in the poll, please do. Thank you very
7:13
much. Yes. So, the Lions against the
7:15
Cowboys. Um Lions won 43 uh 44 to to 30.
7:20
I think I picked the the Cowboys. Lee's
7:23
coming back in now. Um I picked the
7:25
Cowboys. Um, it's a brilliant win for
7:28
the Lions again when they needed it.
7:30
Your four Cowboys getting that easy win
7:32
the week before against the Chiefs. I'm
7:35
trying to get them to bite. Um,
7:36
>> what about the week before when they
7:37
lost to the Eagles as well? Well, they
7:39
beat the Eagles.
7:40
>> Yeah, you know, look, it's football. Um,
7:43
I'm going
7:45
a team uh finishes bottom, for example,
7:48
three years in a row, do they get
7:49
dropped to associates? I I don't think
7:52
they would in Brit. Um and and the
7:54
reason I say that is is you know there's
7:58
loads you can criticize baff for and a
7:59
lot of people do and there's loads you
8:01
can praise them for. Um
8:04
they want as many teams in as possible
8:06
and if anything what they should be
8:08
doing is they should be you know can
8:09
they suggest some coaching class you
8:10
know coaching courses or you know have
8:13
people come down and visit you know a
8:14
set team or whatever. I know obviously
8:16
there's other bits put on. I don't think
8:19
they they send them back to associate.
8:20
We want as many teams playing. I I've
8:22
said there should be a team in every
8:24
town and city. Um and I'd love that.
8:26
That would be, you know, great great for
8:29
anyone who loves football.
8:30
>> Well, me me and Lee were talking about
8:32
that a few weeks ago when we met up.
8:34
Like we realized there's not a team I
8:36
can go join anywhere near Gloucester.
8:38
I'd have to travel for at least an hour
8:39
to get to a team.
8:40
>> Well, you you say that, mate, and and I
8:44
get that, by the way. Um again, I want
8:45
it in every town and city,
8:47
>> but there's other teams that are closer
8:49
to me than the one I play for,
8:50
>> you know. Yeah.
8:51
>> And I played one.
8:56
>> Yeah. But I still travel
8:59
>> I let this I still travel about an hour
9:02
to to get to training hour each way. And
9:06
that's because and that's and that's how
9:08
everyone else should be. Everyone else
9:09
should be spoiled with it.
9:10
>> But the reason, you know, I've not I'm
9:13
at other teams. I'm not going to name
9:14
them other teams, you know. Um but the
9:16
reason I'm at the team I'm at now is
9:18
because I love the culture. I love the
9:20
team.
9:21
Um, you know, there's there's it's it's
9:24
literally what, you know, apart from the
9:25
Halton Spartans, minus, you know, the
9:28
bullying that was going on, it's the
9:30
best team I've ever been involved with.
9:33
Um, so yeah, it's it's an interesting
9:36
one. Um, because, you know, we're doing
9:40
this show about NFL. It's reaching out
9:42
to everyone in the UK. Well, you know,
9:43
it's the opportunity to reach out to
9:45
everyone in the UK. Um, but you know, we
9:48
want them to encourage him to play for a
9:49
team and they might have that same issue
9:50
as Steve. So, ideally, this sport just
9:52
keeps growing bigger and bigger and
9:54
everyone gets spoiled for choice.
9:56
>> Yeah, true.
9:57
>> Um, right, boys. What did you think
9:58
about the Lions and Cowboys? I'm going
10:00
to go for Lee first.
10:04
I think I think the Cowboys had a really
10:06
good game. Um, you know, they they
10:11
the c the Cowboys come out gun guns
10:14
blazing and and I think it was just
10:15
overall it was a fantastic game to
10:17
watch. Um, you know, some really good
10:19
sort of offensive plays in there. Um,
10:22
and I think they they were fighting to
10:24
get back on track. You know, they've had
10:25
a few few rough weeks with some
10:28
embarrassing losses. Um but you know
10:31
they've they've sorted themselves out
10:33
this week and I think you know Dan
10:35
Campbell still play calling. I think
10:37
he's he's doing all right at the moment.
10:40
Um but you know the Cowboys I think we
10:44
can safely say that
10:46
you know I I I I think their chances of
10:49
getting into the playoffs has just
10:50
shrunk that little bit more.
10:53
>> Yeah. How many wins have they got this
10:55
year?
10:56
>> I think they're six and seven at the
10:58
moment I believe. at the moment.
10:59
>> I I know obviously we we had that
11:01
statement before from Steve, you know,
11:03
and Steve was enter saying it was it was
11:04
very very good. How much you use Chappie
11:06
GBT4? I I don't know. Um but um there's
11:10
still people saying there's still
11:12
professionals saying that the Chiefs
11:13
have a chance. Well, if the Chiefs have
11:15
a chance, surely the Cowboys still have
11:16
a chance.
11:17
>> They're not they're not eliminated yet.
11:20
>> Yeah.
11:20
>> Yeah. Not not magical possibilities, but
11:23
>> Yeah.
11:24
>> Interesting. Who Who else is in their
11:26
group?
11:28
Uh the you got the Eagles, the Giants,
11:31
and the and Commanders.
11:34
>> The last two have both already been
11:35
eliminated as well.
11:36
>> So, they're only two wins behind the
11:38
Eagles. And I'm not I I we we have a we
11:40
have a a group chat and I have said that
11:42
I do believe um the Eagles will win the
11:44
remainder of the games this season. I
11:46
I'll always try and, you know, say what
11:48
I what I believe. Um but they're only
11:51
two wins behind. Obviously, if I was to
11:54
be wrong, and let's be honest, I can be
11:55
wrong every now and again. Um, you know,
11:59
stranger things have happened. Strange
12:00
things, but that's that's why we love
12:01
football. That's why we love football.
12:03
Steve, any stats on this one. What did
12:05
you think, Nate? Uh, I don't have any
12:07
stats for this. For some reason, this is
12:08
the one game I've not got any notes for
12:10
either, but it was it was a good
12:12
Thursday night game. It was a good game
12:13
to watch it. It wasn't wasn't a massive
12:17
deal on the defense side. Obviously, I I
12:19
I play defense. Defense is what I like
12:22
enjoy watching, but it was like Yeah,
12:24
the Lions. It was good to see the Lions
12:26
get back into
12:29
an aggressive football game. Um, and the
12:31
Cowboys have been so inconsistent
12:32
anyway.
12:33
>> Yeah.
12:34
>> Like they But it just it just proves it.
12:36
You can beat both Super Bowl teams and
12:38
then lose the week after. Like it just
12:40
proves how inconsistent they've been.
12:42
>> Yeah. We we we've got a comment here.
12:43
I'm going to read this out for anyone
12:44
who's listening on the podcast. More
12:46
teams means more pressure on um BFR,
12:49
which is the referee association. Yes,
12:50
we recruit, but it takes time for new
12:52
officials to learn qualify. I I I I
12:54
don't really want to diverge too much
12:56
into the British American football
12:57
scene, even though predominantly most of
12:59
this page is about that. This is the
13:00
NFL. But I will say this, um, referees
13:04
are so underappreciated in the sport.
13:06
There's no referees, there's no games.
13:07
We had too many instance last season
13:09
where referees got any form of abuse.
13:11
Uh, sorry, a toxic level of abuse. Any
13:14
form of abuse to a referee is is not
13:16
acceptable. Um,
13:17
>> so, you know, something more need to be
13:20
done to protect our refs. Um, but we
13:23
certainly need more respect for our refs
13:24
and I'll leave it on that. Uh, right,
13:26
let's get on to the next game. Uh, the
13:28
next love you and leave you there, guys.
13:30
All right, I'm going to do some
13:34
>> Have fun again soon, guys.
13:36
>> He's behind you. Um,
13:38
>> anyway, uh, right, we're on to next
13:40
game. Uh, next game is the Browns
13:41
against the Titans. Um, it wasn't a game
13:44
I was interested in till I was watching
13:46
it. Oh my god, mate. So, I was in I was
13:48
in Hickory's, but I was watching with
13:50
the boys from from the Buccaneers, my
13:51
team. I love my team. Um, and one of the
13:55
lads is a Titans fan, and he wore his
13:58
shirt, and he wore it with pride. He
13:59
didn't care.
14:01
>> And, um, they won, and I was made up for
14:03
him. There was a there was a video, and
14:04
we're like, yeah, you know, I'm
14:05
celebrating like the Broncos just won,
14:07
but
14:08
it was a horrendous game, you know, on
14:11
some aspects because it, you know, both
14:12
teams are great.
14:14
>> Um, but wow, what an entertaining game.
14:16
Did you catch it, mate?
14:18
>> Uh, yeah, I did. I watched So, I didn't
14:20
like watch it live, um, but I watched it
14:22
afterwards just to catch up, especially
14:23
because of the score.
14:24
>> Mhm.
14:25
>> Um, it was a surp is a surprise, but not
14:29
interesting. Like, it doesn't really
14:31
mean anything to anyone else other than
14:32
the fact that the Giants won their
14:34
by-week because they ended up falling
14:37
into number one for draft for draft
14:39
spots because because the Titans won.
14:43
>> It's it's an interesting one. Do you
14:45
really want to claim that like it's a
14:46
it's a
14:48
>> but also like again so like as people
14:51
who see who watches the Instagram and
14:53
the power rankings. So I I do the
14:54
graphics for it and I decided I I
14:57
thought that Shadur needed a shout out.
14:58
He needed the hot spot spot because he
15:00
had an insane game as a QB but he it
15:03
wasn't his fault that they lost.
15:05
>> Yeah.
15:06
>> It was an amazing game from him. What
15:08
364 yards, three touchdowns, a rushing
15:11
score. Like that was a game and a half,
15:13
but it's the defense let him down.
15:15
>> Same old story. Uh, hang on. We've got
15:18
we've got a great comment here. I'll let
15:20
you read that, mate.
15:22
>> Kevin Stfansky is a football terrorist.
15:24
What a dumb idea to lose [ __ ] for two
15:26
points. Yeah. So, that's my mate Cameron
15:29
by the way.
15:30
>> Oh, is it? How how angry were you,
15:32
fella? Because you seem very angry.
15:34
>> No, he's
15:36
the reason we're mates is because we
15:37
both love like stats and like the
15:39
tactical side of football. Yeah.
15:41
>> Um but yeah, so Sher put three scores
15:44
and then he had a Russian score and then
15:46
for some reason for the two point they
15:47
decide to remove him for free plays.
15:51
Why would you take the only player on
15:52
your team who was doing anything good
15:54
out of the game for for like for free
15:58
plays as well? Like it was just it was
15:59
nonsense from them.
16:00
>> You you have to agree with the comment
16:02
when you when you stupid stuff like
16:04
that.
16:04
>> Yeah.
16:05
>> Let let's move on to the next game,
16:07
mate. So, we've uh we this was this was
16:10
a a slobber this was a this is a slobber
16:12
fest. This was a kill fest. Whatever you
16:14
want to call it, I don't know. Seahawks
16:16
37, Falcons 9.
16:19
>> Yeah.
16:21
>> You know, obviously I feel like they've
16:24
been
16:26
they've been at the top, you know, in
16:27
the top, you know, say top five rank
16:29
power rankings for pretty much everyone.
16:30
Maybe not Lee. Um
16:32
>> no, they've been in Lee. So Lee was an
16:34
advocate for him since like week three,
16:36
>> but they've been brilliant all season.
16:38
So it's going to be interesting now
16:40
because
16:40
>> they're like dark horses. I think I feel
16:42
like they sort of like they like swoon
16:44
they're like swooned in and it's like no
16:45
one's expected it from them.
16:46
>> What one thing I do praise about the
16:48
Chiefs is when they when they play like
16:50
a knockout game like you know the
16:52
playoffs, the wild cards or whatever. Um
16:54
they're a different team.
16:55
>> It's like it's like a a mode switches
16:57
on.
16:58
>> Um it'll be interesting to see if
17:00
Seahawks have that and other teams, my
17:02
team included. Um,
17:04
>> but yeah, great game. I've got nothing
17:07
else to say on top of that. No, no, not
17:09
a great game. I'll take that back
17:10
because I like a close game, but great
17:13
performance by Seahawks. You can't knock
17:14
that performance at all.
17:16
>> Um, okay. Anything to say on that one or
17:20
>> So, for me, it's a Seahawks Dian special
17:22
teams. So, Amanari, I wanted to give him
17:24
a shout out. First career interception,
17:26
block field goal, a sack, and a tackle
17:28
for loss that won the game. Um and also
17:31
the Falcons special teams are having a
17:33
nightmare in that game. They had a block
17:34
field goal. They had a kickoff that went
17:36
out of bounds which why? That's the only
17:39
thing he has to do really.
17:40
>> Yeah.
17:40
>> And and they allowed a 100 yard kick
17:42
return. Like that special teams needs
17:44
work.
17:45
>> Yeah.
17:45
>> You can't like like you're coming out
17:47
for special teams, you know what you're
17:48
doing. You can't be letting all that
17:49
happen to you.
17:52
>> It's it's mad. It it is it is mad. And
17:56
>> you know, we um
18:00
it's funny cuz like I was involved in a
18:02
a game last year and it was a clip that
18:04
went viral of um the ball our wide
18:08
receivers's caught the ball. He's being
18:09
tackled, he's dropped the ball and then
18:11
their D endor linebackers grabbed the
18:13
ball but instead of running into our end
18:14
zone, he's ran into his own end zone.
18:16
>> I saw that.
18:19
>> And FYI, um you know, it was hilarious.
18:22
>> Was it not a long return as well?
18:24
>> Yeah, mate. He he he's tucking on the
18:26
chin as well. By the way, um I was
18:28
speaking to someone apparently he's he's
18:30
a great guy. Um anyway, there's been
18:33
some stupid clips this year.
18:34
>> Yeah,
18:35
>> there there's been some there's been
18:36
some hilarious stupid moments. Um and
18:39
looking by that, that's a date the
18:40
Falcons won't want to really go back to.
18:43
Should we move on to the next result,
18:44
mate? We got we've got a lot of games to
18:45
go through this week. Um Jags Colts. Um
18:48
I wasn't expecting I mean I thought the
18:51
Jags would win, but I didn't think
18:52
they'd bat them. Um, Jazz 36, Colts 19.
18:55
You're up, mate.
18:56
>> Yeah. I mean, I mean, the the Colts are
18:59
sort of showing that they started off
19:01
strong, but they can't they they're not
19:03
going to be even if they get in the
19:04
playoffs, they're not going to be a team
19:05
that gets out of the wild card rounds.
19:06
They they don't have the
19:08
>> It's like every How many people do you
19:10
think we're expecting this? Because I've
19:11
not spoke to anyone who's the Colts
19:12
going to win it all. Oh, no. They're
19:14
doing good, but they'll fall, you know.
19:15
No, I I do I do have a Colts fan who's
19:17
been every week sending me stuff and he
19:19
he's also been sending me lots of
19:21
negative Patrick Mahomes memes and
19:23
stuff.
19:23
>> Worse than to me.
19:24
>> And I'm just like, yeah, yeah, yeah. And
19:27
like I I was like, look, mate, I it's
19:29
not going to continue. It's Danny Jones.
19:30
It's not going to happen. And it
19:31
happened. I do feel bad that he got
19:33
injured, though, because now
19:36
um that's going to leave well, don't
19:38
know who knows. I don't know if everyone
19:40
knows or not, but that has leave left
19:41
the Colts to hire Philip Rivers, who's
19:44
44 and has a grandchild, first ever
19:46
grandfather in the NFL.
19:49
>> I I I did I did come up with a game. I
19:52
thought I did think Lee was going to be
19:54
on for longer, so I'm going to shorten
19:56
it a little bit. There are 12 head
19:57
coaches who who are younger than Philip
20:00
Rivers. How many do you think you can
20:02
name?
20:04
>> Don't know. None. None. None.
20:06
>> None of them.
20:07
>> Go on.
20:08
Um,
20:10
uh, I thought the Broncos one would be
20:12
on there. Stishin, so his own head coach
20:14
is younger than him. The Card's head
20:17
coach, Ganon, Kevin Stfansky, who's
20:20
already come up, Mike McDaniel, Zack
20:22
Taylor, Diko Ryan's the Texans head
20:24
coach, Liam Cohen, Kevin O'Connell,
20:27
Shawn McVey, Ben Johnson, Kell Moore,
20:30
who is the youngest of all the head
20:31
coaches, and Mike McDonald's. All of
20:33
those head coaches are younger than
20:35
Philip Rivers who's going to be playing
20:36
in teams. Uh, so cameras come back up
20:39
saying if Jones didn't tear that
20:41
Achilles, they'd have a chance. Yeah.
20:42
No, they did. I had them very close or
20:45
sort of I think I had them I don't have
20:47
my notes on where where I put him in my
20:50
prediction from a couple of weeks ago,
20:51
but I thought the Colts were going to I
20:53
didn't think they would. I thought
20:54
they'd struggle, but I didn't wasn't
20:56
sure. But now that he's gone, I don't
20:57
know. Philip Rivers, I'm excited to see
21:00
him play, but
21:02
>> imagine
21:02
>> I don't I don't think he's going to be
21:03
good enough to take him through.
21:05
However, though,
21:06
>> imagine it right there. The scene is
21:07
set.
21:09
Fourth and 15, Philip Rivers comes on,
21:14
froze it. Midair catch, one-handed
21:16
catch. Someone catches it, touchdown.
21:20
>> Like,
21:20
>> what's Yeah, it' be wild.
21:22
>> It would be on Netflix within a year,
21:24
mate.
21:25
>> It would. but also Philip Rivers. So,
21:28
he's a head coach for one of his one of
21:30
his many many many children's high
21:32
school team and he runs the Colts
21:34
offense. So, he's he's been on the phone
21:36
with the Colts.
21:37
>> How many kids is there?
21:40
>> It's in the teens.
21:41
>> No.
21:42
>> Yeah.
21:44
I'm not sure how many it is, but there's
21:45
there's a lot of kids. But yeah, so his
21:48
his one of his son's high school teams,
21:51
he's been running the
21:52
>> 10. Oh, I thought it was more than that.
21:54
>> No, no, no. Hang on. There's Philip
21:56
Rivers. Him, his wife, a parents of 10
21:59
kids.
22:00
>> That man needs a TV.
22:03
>> I'm not saying anymore. Should we move
22:04
on to the next game?
22:05
>> Yeah, let's go.
22:06
>> Let me get it up. Right. Next game.
22:08
Worst game of the week. Worst worst in
22:10
the uh the um the Broncos Thursday night
22:14
game. Vikings 31. Commander zero. Zero.
22:18
Let me just shout that out loud. Zero.
22:20
That is horrendous. That is
22:24
>> um
22:25
>> Yeah. So,
22:28
>> and just just as you're reiterating
22:30
that, the Vikings are the first team
22:32
since 1992 to get because they got shut
22:34
out last week.
22:35
>> Correct. I've I did see that. Yeah.
22:37
>> Yeah. So, they were the first team to
22:39
get shut out and then shut someone out
22:40
the week after since 1992, which is
22:42
insane.
22:43
>> Don't swear.
22:44
>> What the hell is the Vikings doing at
22:46
this point?
22:47
>> Yeah. I'm trying not to swear to be
22:48
honest, mate. Um, I I even if that was
22:52
my team winning 31 nil, I wouldn't like
22:55
it.
22:56
>> No,
22:56
>> I don't, you know,
22:57
>> although to be fair, I did enjoy it when
22:59
the Chiefs did it to the Raiders, but
23:00
that's because we hate the Raiders and
23:01
it was also 31 N against the Raiders.
23:03
>> Yeah, no one likes the Raiders. Um, I've
23:06
not got anything to say in this, but
23:08
like this is like a massive show for me
23:11
of how inconsistent some teams can
23:13
perform.
23:14
>> Yeah. Um because you you know Commanders
23:16
gave Broncos all hell even into overtime
23:19
and then did this.
23:20
>> Well, I've got two things to say on it.
23:23
So, Jadden Daniels reinjured his
23:25
shoulder. So, I don't think he's going
23:26
to play the rest of the season. I don't
23:28
really think he should have been in the
23:30
game because they they're eliminated.
23:31
They shouldn't be putting him out. But
23:33
also, did you see the tackle on Zack Z?
23:36
>> No, I didn't. You're going to have to
23:37
send me a
23:38
>> So, a horrible tackle. He saw he was in
23:40
the air. I don't know why he was in the
23:41
air to be fair,
23:42
>> but the tackle went through his knee and
23:44
it's torn as Achilles. But that tackle
23:46
has now gone to the NFL team who's
23:48
investigating whether the player on the
23:50
Vikings side should be suspended for the
23:52
rest of the season or not
23:54
>> because it it was just it was just not a
23:56
remotely fair tackle. I I if it sounds
24:00
like it was pretty bad, you'll have to
24:02
you'll have to send me that.
24:03
>> Uh next game I want to talk about. Wow,
24:05
this this is up there for offense game
24:07
of the week. Definitely not defense. Uh,
24:09
Bills 39, Bengals 34.
24:12
>> Yeah.
24:12
>> Wow. Did you watch this? I I caught
24:14
quite a lot of this. Um,
24:15
>> yeah, I did. And for the first three
24:18
quarters, the Bengals look like they
24:19
were going to win the game. They They
24:20
were miles ahead,
24:21
>> mate. Mate, like they were dominating on
24:24
offense and defense. I was like, what?
24:27
>> I I thought I thought that was going to
24:29
be the beginning. So, Joe Brow was back.
24:30
I thought it was going to be the
24:31
beginning of them making themselves get
24:32
into the playoffs.
24:34
>> Yeah.
24:34
>> And yet, the Bengals become Bengals
24:36
again in the fourth quarter. But also, I
24:38
will like to say I am enjoying the fact
24:40
the snow games are back a lot.
24:42
>> Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:45
>> When I was watching the the Denver
24:47
Broncos in Colorado, um they have like
24:50
all the games on in the TVs and one of
24:52
them was a snow game and I was like cuz
24:54
it was roasting in Colorado that day. I
24:56
was like mental and like what what do
24:59
you mean by mental? Like we're roasting,
25:01
we're having a beer, there's burgers,
25:02
you know, and all this and it's snowing
25:04
and it wasn't like a little bit of snow.
25:06
They were like, you know, when like
25:07
you're like you're lifting your feet,
25:09
you're lifting your knees up higher
25:10
because the snow's that deep. But yeah,
25:13
love that. H right. Uh next game,
25:16
shocker for me. Uh cuz I backed the
25:18
Buccaneers. Buccaneers against the
25:19
Saints 24. The Saints won to 20. Um
25:23
still vomiting at the kit. Um
25:26
where did this come from?
25:28
>> Yeah, I don't know. But like the thing
25:30
is the Bucks have been on a downward
25:32
trajectory for the last few weeks.
25:34
>> Yeah. So like obviously what maybe six
25:38
weeks ago Mayfield was in the top two or
25:39
three for MVP and now all of a sudden he
25:42
he's gone four straight games fewer than
25:44
200 passing yards it's just not going to
25:46
cut it in in this league.
25:48
>> No definitely not.
25:49
>> Although to be fair Tyler Shu put on a
25:51
good game
25:53
like considering he's a backup as well
25:56
>> like he had a good game.
25:59
It it's I was in again I was watching
26:01
this one in Hickey. Um it looked like it
26:04
was two, you know, to and from all all
26:07
game. It wasn't a game I really kept
26:08
kept an eye on. You know, obviously you
26:10
look over I'm not really that bothered
26:11
about that one because I just thought
26:12
the books would slap them.
26:13
>> Yeah.
26:14
>> And um
26:15
>> yeah, I'm wrong again.
26:18
Um moving on to the next one. This was a
26:20
brilliant game. This could decide who's
26:23
making the you know who's who's getting
26:24
the automatic playoff spot. But it was
26:26
um the Raiders and the RA uh and the
26:28
three sorry the Ravens and the Steelers
26:31
and the Steelers won 27 to 22. Um it
26:35
just looked like Ravens were all over
26:36
you know that run game. Uh sorry,
26:38
Steelers were all over the run game
26:40
forcing the Ravens to to throw. Um and
26:44
it was a good game this to be fair. You
26:46
know, one minute you thought something
26:48
was going to happen, next minute
26:48
something else was happening. Um but I'm
26:51
interested to get your thoughts on this
26:52
one, mate. Um, I think it's it so this
26:56
is going to be a little bit of a cut
26:57
forward, but I think it's very similar
26:58
to how teams have worked out to beat
27:00
Mahomes. So, Sealers just kept bringing
27:02
pressure.
27:04
So, like they they gave Lamar no chance
27:07
of scrambling or running
27:08
>> and all of a sudden he was panicking
27:10
because he's not actually a great he's
27:13
>> not a great thrower.
27:14
>> No, he's a good QB. Let's list given
27:16
that. But he's not a great QB. So he
27:18
like
27:19
>> if if he had an injury where that took
27:21
like you know when like soccer players
27:23
get an injury and it takes a massive
27:25
part of the pace off even when they've
27:26
come back a year rehabilitation and
27:28
stuff.
27:28
>> If he had an injury like that he he
27:31
wouldn't make the first team for for
27:33
majority of teams
27:35
is poor his throwing is that poor making
27:37
up words now.
27:38
>> Yeah but the the other thing I was going
27:40
to say about this game as well. So the
27:41
Steelers they were in charge for the
27:43
whole game but they they sort of lost
27:45
all seam in the fourth quarter.
27:48
But like luckily for them, the Ravens,
27:52
they they they had three red zone visits
27:55
in the fourth quarter and all they got
27:57
was two field goals out of it.
27:59
>> Yeah.
27:59
>> The defense the defense helped the
28:01
Steelers because like the first three
28:02
quarters they were great and then
28:03
obviously by the fourth quarter it was
28:05
like they were a different team and the
28:06
Steelers were like, "Well, I don't know
28:07
what offense is anymore."
28:08
>> But do you know what the mental thing
28:10
is?
28:11
you if you if you had to put 10 pound on
28:13
which team's going to get the furthest
28:14
this season, you'd still put the 10
28:15
pound on the Ravens for me.
28:18
>> I mean, I I don't know. I I I have been
28:20
sort of
28:22
wanting to see this to make the playoffs
28:24
all season cuz I like I I like A-Rod.
28:26
>> Yeah,
28:26
>> he's a great player. He's a little bit
28:28
old, but I mean, he's not going to be
28:29
the oldest quarterback this week. So,
28:32
>> cuz like looking at the Steelers
28:34
fixtures, they they've got the Dolphins
28:36
who are still within a chance.
28:38
>> The Dolphins have had an insane run as
28:40
well.
28:40
>> Yes. And then they've got the Lions. We
28:42
know how good they are.
28:44
>> Then they've got the Browns. That's, you
28:47
know, which version of the Browns are
28:48
you getting? They should win that one.
28:50
But then they're away to then they're at
28:52
the Ravens again.
28:54
>> Yeah.
28:54
>> And that that last game of the season, I
28:56
tell you what, my team's playing my Oh,
28:59
[ __ ] Forget about my team for now.
29:01
That's going to No, we're playing
29:02
Chargers. Let's not forget about that.
29:03
Uh that's going to be a great game to
29:05
watch in the final.
29:06
>> I think the last game is going to be the
29:08
decider between the two of them. I think
29:09
they're both going to have a good few
29:11
weeks, but I think that game's going to
29:12
decide it.
29:13
>> Yeah, definitely. Definitely. Right,
29:15
let's get back to these um to these
29:17
results. Um where are we? Week 14. So,
29:20
next up, um again, we've just been
29:23
talking about them, the the the fins,
29:24
the Miami Dolphins, 34 points to 10. Um
29:30
wow. Um we've, you know, we let's let's
29:33
talk about that little run. Uh, have you
29:35
got the the results up and who the last
29:38
few wins mate or?
29:39
>> Uh, so I don't know the teams but I know
29:41
so the so week seven the Dolphins were
29:43
one and six and now now they're six and
29:45
seven.
29:48
>> So I'm not sure where the loss came if
29:50
I'm honest. But
29:52
>> well
29:54
to be fair though if if they had not
29:55
lost that one game everyone would be
29:56
talking about them.
29:57
>> Yeah.
29:58
>> But like
29:59
>> you're taking that pressure off. Do you
30:00
know what I Because if they'd won seven
30:01
in a row where people be backing them
30:02
through all sorts whereas they're kind
30:04
of climbing up with no one really
30:05
looking. Do you get what I mean by that?
30:07
>> Yeah. You got the same record as the
30:09
Chiefs
30:10
and like it's two very different ways of
30:12
getting to that record.
30:14
>> Yeah.
30:14
>> So the Chiefs lost the first two and had
30:16
a couple of wins and then a couple of
30:17
losses and a couple of wins whereas the
30:19
Fins went let's just lose all the games
30:21
and then let's win a load of games.
30:23
>> Literally.
30:25
>> This wasn't a surprise for me to score
30:26
because the Jets haven't been good.
30:28
didn't think the Fins were going to put
30:29
34 points.
30:30
>> Yeah.
30:30
>> But um again, this was a game, so I
30:33
think I think they slowly realized that
30:35
Tua isn't someone you could lean on.
30:37
>> Yeah.
30:37
>> In this in this game, they ran for 240
30:40
yards. It was all rush.
30:42
>> Tu did a few things here and there, but
30:45
it was all rush. which is what they need
30:48
to do to keep them getting into the
30:50
playoffs and keep them going forwards is
30:51
to not rely on tour too much cuz this
30:54
this year it's not it's not he might I
30:57
think he needs the time to get over his
30:59
concussions. Maybe next year he'll be
31:01
better but right now he's not good
31:02
enough to be an elite quarterback.
31:05
>> Okay. Um next game we're going to talk
31:08
about um Broncos 24 rather 17. Um, I
31:13
thought Bonix is a brilliant game in
31:15
this game. Um, Raiders. Um, hang on,
31:19
let's have a little look. Are they still
31:21
Yeah, you you want to read this one,
31:23
mate.
31:23
>> Are they still doing the international
31:25
pathway program? I believe they are
31:28
because they we had um Reanic come
31:31
through last year through that way.
31:34
I I don't I I can't see why they
31:35
wouldn't be doing that,
31:37
>> but we we have seen a lot. So, we've got
31:39
um an Irish kicker in the NFL, but
31:42
>> Oh, yeah.
31:43
>> He's pretty good as well, aren't we?
31:45
>> He's doing really well. Yeah, he's
31:46
having a He's having a really good
31:47
season,
31:48
>> but other than that, we don't have a lot
31:50
of Brits. There's a lot there's a lot
31:53
more African um descendants. I don't
31:56
actually I don't know if that's African
31:58
people being born in America and they
31:59
just grow up that way or what. I don't
32:00
know how how that's happening, but with
32:03
the Brits, we don't we don't get a lot
32:04
of them.
32:07
>> Yeah. I wish we got more um especially
32:09
you know with with how big rugies over
32:11
here but you know it's how quick people
32:13
can transition them them them them them
32:14
them them them them them them them them
32:14
skills over
32:15
>> it's a very different game
32:16
>> oh 100% um going back to um going back
32:19
to this game um I'm going to go over to
32:22
you now mate but for me it was just
32:24
another it was business it was getting
32:25
the job done um it wasn't a game I was
32:28
overly worried about um we had a few
32:30
Raiders fans sat next to us in Hickory's
32:33
and um they just kind of got a bit of
32:35
abuse from me for the remainder of the
32:37
Yeah. Well, so as you said a few weeks
32:39
ago, the Raiders are your bogey team. So
32:42
I I did keep an eye on this because I
32:43
was I was intrigued whether they could
32:45
do it or not. Uh Bon Knicks, this
32:47
actually was his best game of the
32:49
season. 31 of 38 212 yards. It actually
32:52
really was. But the what happened? So it
32:55
wasn't it wasn't an exciting game to
32:57
watch. There was not like it wasn't
32:59
>> amazing. But like from a coaching point,
33:02
it really was because you you guys had
33:04
39 minutes of possession. Yeah.
33:06
>> Three touchdown drives of eight 8
33:08
minutes 54 or longer. You basically all
33:11
you did was just drive their defense
33:13
into being too tired to play
33:16
>> and that's how you want it. And that's
33:17
very good um coaching.
33:20
>> But the other thing the other thing as
33:21
well, so this is interesting. So the
33:23
Broncos last five wins, your point
33:24
differential is only 17 points,
33:27
>> which is the second lowest by a team on
33:29
a five- win streak in NFL history. The
33:32
only team that beat that was a 1986
33:34
Super Bowl winning Giants where they had
33:36
15 points in five games.
33:38
>> Do you know what? Um,
33:41
it's because of the way the co the
33:43
coaching has been that good in terms of
33:44
play call, in terms of what to do and
33:46
stuff.
33:46
>> When we get to the playoffs, if we're
33:48
behind, I'm obviously going to be
33:49
nervous, but I'm going to be like, look
33:50
what we've done so far.
33:52
>> I I would be too. I would be too if I
33:54
was a fan because like like the stat I
33:56
just pointed out is that you're not
33:58
you're not putting up offensive numbers.
33:59
It's all defense, which is great because
34:02
defense wins championships, but
34:05
>> but look at look at them two losses,
34:07
mate.
34:09
>> Yeah.
34:09
>> How many points they mean by?
34:11
>> Well, both of them as well, the two
34:13
losses happened at zero.
34:15
>> Yeah.
34:16
>> But but even then, that was it. Like,
34:18
but you you keep close games, which is
34:20
when it comes to the playoffs, I would
34:22
be worried as a Broncos fan.
34:25
>> We'll see. It's not It's not like you're
34:26
putting up three or four touchdown
34:28
drives in a row and defending it.
34:31
>> But obviously if I if we could, we
34:33
would. Every team would. I think it's
34:35
going to be interesting. I think it's
34:36
going to be interesting.
34:37
>> I think it will be. I think it will be.
34:38
>> Uh I want to move on to this next game.
34:40
Um because it was a pasting. It's quite
34:43
a quick one this one, mate. The Rams
34:44
come back with a swinging hammer. 45
34:48
Cardinals 17. At one point I heard
34:51
someone shout, "Stop it. They're already
34:52
dead."
34:55
So, the first note I wrote was three
34:57
blind mice would have been a better
34:58
defense than the CS this week.
35:03
I don't know why I wrote that, but
35:04
that's what I wrote whilst watching the
35:05
game. They had an average of 8.1 yards
35:08
per play on 55 plays, which is insane.
35:11
But I do want to shout out Michael
35:12
Wilson for the Cardinals. He put up a
35:14
hell of a game in a hell of a fight for
35:15
wide receiver one next year.
35:17
>> 142 yards, two touchdowns in a very poor
35:20
game from the Cardinals.
35:22
He he's definitely if he's not wide
35:24
receiver one, he's definitely someone
35:25
that you should be looking at for
35:27
fantasy next year. Maybe in your flex
35:29
position.
35:30
>> When when do you start looking at your
35:32
fantasy football league? Like when do
35:33
you like when the draft's been done or
35:35
like
35:36
>> Yeah. So I normally draft at least one
35:38
rookie. So I make sure I pay attention
35:39
to the draft.
35:42
>> Um because I like to try and do like a a
35:44
rookie pick of a year and keep him in
35:46
the squad and then just be like, "Oh
35:48
guys, look, I knew he was going to be
35:49
good from the draft.
35:52
I can't say that word. I was going to
35:53
say something then I shouldn't have.
35:55
Right, moving on. Um, okay. Um, this
35:59
game was brilliant. It was fantastic.
36:03
>> Packers 28, Bears 21.
36:06
>> Game of the week.
36:07
>> Yeah, mate. Mate, the like I'm gutted
36:10
for the Bears like again kind of like
36:12
the Dolphins. They've kind of snuck up
36:14
out of nowhere,
36:15
>> but we should be talking about the B
36:16
well more, but the eighth and old Pan
36:18
Packers as you backed them originally.
36:21
>> Go for it, mate. You're up.
36:24
>> So, yeah. So, I mean, it it was it was
36:26
literally within the last minute of the
36:28
game, there was an interception in the
36:30
end zone and that's what sealed it for
36:31
the Packers. But it was it was an
36:32
insanely good game to watch.
36:34
>> Yeah.
36:35
>> Um I do want to say though, Caleb
36:37
Williams in the first half only had 32
36:39
passing yards. In a second half, he had
36:43
154 and two touchdowns.
36:46
Uh Cameron is also a Packers fan.
36:48
Provided we stay healthy and more
36:50
importantly, Micah Parson stay healthy,
36:52
there is not a team in the league I can
36:54
see beating us in the playoffs. Jordan
36:55
loves the real deal.
36:56
>> Who Who have they got this weekend?
36:59
>> Uh they have Broncos. Yeah,
37:02
>> you're getting beat this weekend, dude.
37:04
Just don't chat absolute barmy rubbish,
37:07
you divy. You're getting battered this
37:09
weekend by I say battered. You get
37:12
battered by one point. Beat you by one
37:14
point.
37:14
>> Actually, to be fair, he is in up in
37:18
Sheffield. We could say if he lo if you
37:20
lose, get him to give you a Packers
37:22
jersey next week.
37:24
>> Pretty close.
37:24
>> I wouldn't wear anyone's jersey. No.
37:28
>> Um, yeah, but yeah, it was the third
37:32
quarter. Jordan Love 186 yards and three
37:34
touchdowns. And that's that's that's
37:35
where the game was. But what I will say
37:37
before we start making our picks, since
37:40
the Packers hired Matt Leaf in 2019,
37:42
they're 27 and seven from week 13
37:44
onwards.
37:45
>> Right. Well,
37:46
>> they close the season very well.
37:48
>> Hang on. You Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
37:50
whoa, whoa, whoa. Comment here from from
37:52
Captain, what's his name?
37:54
>> Cameron.
37:55
>> Captain Cameron today. I didn't even
37:56
know. Um, we'll score single digits.
38:01
What are you lying for? You're chatting
38:03
wham bubble wham me. Not a chance doing
38:07
Elsa. Let it go. And I'm hiding that
38:09
comment. Right. Next game. Want to talk
38:11
about this?
38:11
>> Have we got a um have we got a guest for
38:13
next week?
38:15
>> Yeah, you made Captain Cameron. Right.
38:17
>> Should we get him on? Because
38:18
interesting.
38:19
>> Does he play? Has he played?
38:20
>> Uh no, but he's like he's like a stat
38:23
nerd like me, so be interesting to see.
38:25
>> Well, we'll have him on. Tell him to
38:26
bring all the stats when the Broncos
38:27
absolutely slash. Right. Um on to the
38:30
next one. Um I said it was going to
38:32
happen. I say I say Ashley and the
38:34
Texans absolutely slapped the Chiefs 20
38:37
points to 10. Um it was it was a bit of
38:39
a mad one to wake up to. Um
38:42
cuz obviously the last two games were
38:44
you and Le and Le team where mine won.
38:48
>> Um
38:49
I'm not surprised. Texans a brilliant
38:52
team defensively one of the best teams
38:53
in the league. Um Chiefs I don't I can't
38:57
point to it. You might have your thing.
38:59
Um,
39:01
>> so it was actually Cameron who pointed
39:03
this out to me that the teams teams have
39:05
realized if you put fake pressure on
39:07
Mahomes, that's when it becomes really
39:09
bad. And that's why
39:11
>> how do you fix that?
39:13
>> He he needs to because what what he does
39:15
is he when he feels like there's
39:16
pressure, whether it's fake or real, he
39:18
goes for his progression too fast and
39:20
tries to be the hero. He needs to
39:21
remember that his teams his players are
39:24
there. But also, we did have 10 drops in
39:25
this game.
39:27
>> So, the wide receivers, no one's losing
39:29
anything.
39:29
>> It It wasn't a great day in the office
39:30
for your wide receivers.
39:31
>> It wasn't. But to be fair, like our our
39:35
defense did enough to win that game.
39:37
>> Yes, the Texans put up 20 points, but
39:39
our defense was decent.
39:41
Like, if we had the offense from
39:44
>> Can't you just couple years ago?
39:45
>> Can't you just say, because I've never
39:47
heard a Chiefs fan say this, I'm I'm And
39:49
for the anyone watching this, please by
39:51
all means comment if you agree or
39:52
disagree. Can't a Chiefs fan or a pund
39:56
just say
39:58
the Chiefs got beat by the better team
40:00
go?
40:01
>> We got beat by the better team.
40:04
>> It happened.
40:05
>> We did.
40:06
>> Cuz cuz cuz I I never see it as excuse,
40:09
you know, anything like that. Um I I
40:14
>> was my blood when people say, "Oh, the
40:16
Chiefs aren't paying the refs." No one's
40:17
ever paid the refs. let
40:19
>> try. We got beat by better coaching. We
40:21
got beat by a defense making Mahomes do
40:25
the things that he had to do, which was
40:27
make irrational throws and unnecessary
40:30
things he didn't have to do.
40:32
>> It was very good from the defensive
40:33
coach.
40:34
>> I've got a question for you here. I've
40:36
got a few questions. So, I'm going to me
40:38
I'm going to say some results. I want
40:39
you to tell me who's going to win. Okay.
40:41
>> So, first one, um
40:45
find it.
40:47
Where is you got a by week? No, we had
40:51
our week already.
40:52
>> Yeah. Chiefs charges.
40:54
>> Chiefs. We got to make up for week one.
40:57
>> Okay. Um,
41:00
Chiefs Titans.
41:01
>> Chiefs.
41:03
>> Okay. One minute. We got a comment. I'll
41:05
read that in a minute. Um, Chiefs
41:08
Broncos.
41:09
>> That was the only question mark I have
41:11
for the next four games. Your defense,
41:15
especially if they've realized that if
41:16
you just pressure Mahomes, he can't play
41:18
football.
41:20
But again, like I said, you keep close
41:22
games,
41:25
>> Chiefs, Broncos.
41:28
>> At this point, I'm going to have to say
41:29
Broncos.
41:30
>> Okay. And last, but is it last? No, it
41:34
might not be. Um 1 minute, two seconds.
41:36
>> Should be Raiders last game.
41:37
>> Chiefs, Raiders.
41:38
>> Chiefs.
41:39
>> So, does three wins get you to the
41:40
playoffs?
41:41
>> No.
41:42
>> Okay.
41:42
>> Takes us takes us to nine wins, which is
41:45
not enough.
41:46
>> Okay. We have so for so for those people
41:49
who love the numbers and that for the
41:51
Chiefs to be able to get into the
41:52
playoffs, we need to win out.
41:54
>> We need the Chargers to lose to either
41:56
the Cowboys or the Texans and then also
41:59
lose to the Broncos and we need the
42:01
Colts to have two losses.
42:03
>> So I think we I think we'll beat the
42:04
Chargers and I think the Texans will
42:06
beat the Chargers.
42:07
>> Yeah.
42:08
>> Um and I think they're two really fair
42:10
shouts. We know depleted the Chargers
42:12
all.
42:13
>> It's going to be interesting for me
42:15
obviously.
42:17
I I I think again I'm repeating myself,
42:19
but defense wins games, defense wins
42:21
championships. Texans one of the best
42:23
defense in the league. Should we get on
42:24
to the next one? Talk about the
42:26
Chargers. Chargers 22, Eagles 19. I said
42:29
this would happen. They don't react very
42:32
well to um Oh, sorry. Read this comment.
42:35
I do apologize. This is why Mahomes will
42:36
never be in a greatest of all time
42:38
conversation. Brady wins them. Rogers
42:40
wins them. But Mahomes has Super Bowl
42:43
rings. So many more rings.
42:46
>> I'm I'm going to I'm going to disagree
42:47
with that comment. Is that your mate
42:48
again? Captain,
42:50
>> you see what I mean? He's talking
42:52
rubbish. Broncos win next week. Anyway,
42:55
yeah, Chargers, Eagles. I watched the
42:56
highlights of this one. Um,
42:59
>> it wasn't the greatest of days in the
43:01
office for the Eagles offense.
43:03
>> Four interceptions for Herz.
43:07
>> There you go.
43:08
>> You're at the bottom now. Yeah, four
43:10
interceptions for Herz. It's weird. Um
43:12
th this was a game that I obviously for
43:14
the first time this season wanted the
43:16
Eagles to win because it would have
43:18
helped the Chiefs potentially make the
43:20
playoffs if we play well enough. But
43:22
that's that's left us I think it's like
43:24
12% chance to get the playoffs.
43:26
>> That's crazy. That's what I love how
43:28
they predicted. Oh, by the way, we need
43:30
to go over this more in a bit. But look,
43:32
>> I've not really got much to say in that
43:33
one. It was a surprising one. I do think
43:35
Eagles will make playoffs. I think
43:36
they'll win the remainder of the games.
43:38
I've been
43:39
>> Yeah. The only thing I got to say about
43:40
that is the fact that so in week 14, the
43:44
two Super Bowl quarterbacks combined for
43:46
zero touchdowns and seven interceptions.
43:50
>> That's crazy.
43:50
>> And those were the quarterbacks in the
43:52
championship game of the sport that we
43:54
love.
43:55
>> That's crazy. It's crazy. It
43:57
>> is.
43:57
>> Well, folks, that's week 14 and I now
44:01
want to go into Lee's power rankings.
44:03
And I can't give him any grief cuz he's
44:04
on his pan. So, let's go through it. Um,
44:06
starting at number 10, he's got the
44:08
49ers. At number nine, he's got the
44:10
Jags. At number eight, he's got the
44:12
Bears. At number seven, he's got the
44:14
Lions. Six, he's got the Packers. Five,
44:17
the Bills. Four, the Patriots. Three,
44:20
the Seahawks. Number two, them Denver
44:23
Broncos. And number one, the LA Rams.
44:26
Um, it's mental because I think the
44:28
Eagles were in the top four. They've
44:29
been pretty much top four all year
44:32
>> and they've gone. Um, I think
44:33
>> I was I was surprised when he sent them.
44:35
I almost messaged saying, "Did you
44:36
forget the Eagles or what?"
44:38
>> Yeah, I I I I ran the Eagles above the
44:40
49ers, but I get it at the same time. Um
44:43
>> especially after last week, if if if you
44:45
put that team in the playoffs now, cuz
44:47
so how Lee does it is how he predicts
44:49
the playoffs are going to go.
44:50
>> Yeah.
44:50
>> If you put that Eagles team in the
44:52
playoffs, they're not winning a single
44:53
game.
44:54
>> So what he thinks Broncos and Rams in
44:56
the final?
44:57
>> That'd be a good final to be fair.
44:58
>> That' be a great game.
44:59
>> That would be
45:00
>> Yeah.
45:00
>> defense versus very offense.
45:02
>> Yeah. Yeah. Um, right. So, I think we
45:07
just I think we we get into week 15,
45:09
mate. Let's let's let's get into it. So,
45:12
um,
45:14
again, folks, we we'd love, um, most of
45:17
you are on there, apart from my captain
45:18
guy who's just chatting absolute rubbish
45:20
about the Broncos. Um, click that. Um,
45:24
but yeah, um, we we'd love you on. So,
45:26
if you want to come on, by all means,
45:27
drop the page, Instagram, Facebook page,
45:29
a message. Drop on WhatsApp message.
45:30
We'd love to get you on here. Tell us if
45:32
you're involved in the Brit Ball
45:33
community. Tell us what you do. Give
45:34
your team a bit of mention. Rookie days,
45:36
stuff like that. How they can register
45:37
an interest.
45:38
>> Hey, Cameron, if Cameron, if you're
45:40
still watching, if you want to comment
45:41
and say if you want to come on next week
45:43
before the game happens,
45:46
if we agree to it now,
45:47
>> let us know.
45:48
>> I don't think he will. He knows. Right.
45:50
On to it, mate. Um, Buccaneers versus
45:53
the Falcons. I'm going for the Bucks.
45:56
>> I've gone for the Falcons. The Bucks are
45:57
having a decline. The Falcons sort of
46:00
deserve a win. This this is one of many.
46:03
>> Mate, you don't deserve a win. There's
46:04
no deserving a win.
46:05
>> Yeah, but I just think Yeah, I don't I
46:07
don't know. I don't think the Bucks are
46:09
playing well the last few weeks at all.
46:12
And why would they turn like they lost
46:13
to the Saints last week? Like, who else
46:15
are they going to lose to at this point?
46:16
>> Right. Well, you're going for the
46:18
Falcons. Hang on.
46:20
>> Hang on. Well, I'm in. Okay. Well,
46:24
right. Well,
46:25
>> where wear your jersey, mate, and bring
46:28
some tissues. You're going to cry.
46:29
Right. Um, on to the next one. Uh,
46:32
Bengals Ravens. Um, it's I think this is
46:35
going to be a brilliant game. I think
46:36
this is going to be a very highscoring
46:38
game. However, I'm going for the Ravens.
46:41
I think the same. I'm also going Ravens.
46:43
I just think
46:45
>> like Joe Burrow and the offense can be
46:47
as good as they want. Their defense is
46:49
awful.
46:50
>> Yeah.
46:50
>> And so I I I feel like the Ravens do
46:52
have the better defense. They're going
46:53
to they're going to get a stop in the
46:55
late fourth, I reckon. And then they're
46:57
going to put up some points to win the
46:58
game. I think it's going to be close
46:59
though.
47:00
>> Okay. Eagles. Raiders. Who are you going
47:02
for?
47:04
>> Uh, Eagles. Yeah, of course. The
47:08
Raiders.
47:09
Even after last week, if you say the
47:12
Raiders, I'm going I I I'm going to have
47:14
to disown you as a friend.
47:18
>> Raiders.
47:19
>> Oh my god.
47:22
We both hate the Raiders. Why would you
47:23
do that?
47:25
>> I don't know.
47:26
Look, I get these feelings and they
47:27
happen.
47:28
>> Yeah,
47:29
>> they happen. Next up,
47:30
>> to be fair though, you did say a couple
47:32
of weeks ago the Eagles never bounce
47:33
back from a loss with a win.
47:35
>> So,
47:36
>> even though even though I've just said
47:37
that I think the Eagles going to win the
47:38
rest of the games, I've still picked the
47:39
Raiders. Or maybe I hope the Raiders
47:41
win. Anyway,
47:44
Texans against the Cardinals. Uh, I'm
47:46
going for the Texans here. I'm a big fan
47:48
of the Texans. Um,
47:49
>> yeah, I'm a big Texans fan. I've got
47:51
I've got them in my playoff birth that I
47:53
you may have seen on the Instagram,
47:55
guys.
47:56
>> The Cardinals again, they just they keep
47:58
keeping claim games close, but they just
48:00
can't finish a game properly.
48:02
>> Okay, next one. Chiefs Chargers. Who you
48:06
backing here, fella?
48:07
>> Um, other than the Broncos game, I have
48:10
no question. I'm always going to go to
48:12
Chiefs. When it comes in two weeks time,
48:15
I'm gonna it's it's going to be what how
48:16
how we've played the last couple of
48:18
weeks, but I'm going Chiefs this week.
48:21
I'm going for the Chiefs as well.
48:24
>> Is it Is that because you don't want
48:25
someone to battle you for number one if
48:27
you lose?
48:28
>> No. Um I think you win. I think you win.
48:30
And um it means I think if we win next
48:33
week, we'd get the division because
48:36
um I'm going to have to I've been trying
48:38
to find it, by the way, but one of the
48:40
first weeks of the podcast I said that I
48:42
don't I don't think the Broncos were
48:43
good enough to win a division this year.
48:45
Maybe next year. So, I'm trying to find
48:47
the clip to clip it myself to make
48:49
myself be embarrassed, but I did say
48:52
that. And yeah.
48:53
>> Yeah, we we'll we'll go back to that in
48:55
a bit. Um, Patriots Bills. I think this
48:58
be a brilliant game, but I'm back in the
48:59
Bills.
49:00
>> I'm back in the Bills. They lost to the
49:02
Patriots already this season. I think
49:03
the Bills are at the point now where
49:05
they have to turn on the playoff
49:06
football.
49:07
>> I also think if you look at, you know,
49:09
I've seen some comments, people like to
49:11
come come with excuses when a team does
49:12
really well.
49:13
>> Yeah. And people have said the Patriots,
49:16
you know, teams they played against. And
49:17
I had a little look and to be fair,
49:19
they've had a decent run of of teams
49:21
who've not been in playing at the best
49:22
time. So, yeah, that's my reason for the
49:25
Bills.
49:25
>> No, I I do agree that New England have
49:28
had they are number one or number two,
49:31
but they they've only been playing awful
49:33
teams because I don't know how people
49:35
know, but like depends on where you
49:37
finish in division, you end up playing
49:38
people of the same position.
49:40
>> Yeah.
49:41
>> Within the league. So you end up
49:42
playing, so if you finish third, you end
49:43
up playing a lot of third position
49:44
teams. If you build a good team, you're
49:46
playing third position teams.
49:48
You're going to have a good run.
49:50
>> Yeah. No, definitely. Um Jags versus
49:52
Jets. Um
49:57
Jags.
49:58
>> Yeah, I've gone Jags. I think I think
50:00
they're going to make a run. I don't
50:02
know if they're going to make the
50:03
playoffs, but I think they're going to
50:04
put their effort into it. The Jets have
50:06
nothing to play for anymore, so
50:08
>> yeah. Uh Giants and Commanders. I'm
50:10
going for Giants.
50:11
>> I've gone Giants as well.
50:12
>> This is the perfect game for Giants to
50:14
come out and find a bit of form and
50:15
finish the season with a bit of pride.
50:17
>> Yeah, especially Jayen Daniel's not in
50:18
in there anymore. Who is it? Marcus
50:20
Mario to play in for him now or is it I
50:22
don't know what they're doing. But
50:23
>> I think Jackson I've like I've really
50:25
liked Jackson Dart since the beginning
50:27
starter.
50:29
So, I'm going Giants for that game.
50:33
>> Get this guy on the show next week, you
50:35
little rat.
50:36
>> We're gonna get him on. It'll be funny.
50:39
Do you know what you know if you look at
50:41
the who we have played this season the
50:43
Broncos you know we beat the Eagles we
50:45
we've beat some great teams this year
50:48
but you know obviously I understand
50:50
people's putting concern when we're only
50:52
just winning the games but for me it's
50:54
still great management that we're able
50:55
to do that
50:56
>> yeah it is it is really is
50:58
>> I'm just the nine and three and one
51:00
Green Bay Packers against the 11 and two
51:03
Broncos. There you go. That's what you
51:04
like to see. I think it's going to be a
51:06
great game and I'm very excited for it.
51:08
>> Um
51:09
>> for next week,
51:11
>> we we'll we'll get into that in a
51:13
moment. Um so we've I've gone for
51:15
Giants, you've gone for Giants. Yeah.
51:17
>> Now we're going to go into the Bears and
51:18
the Browns. Dead easy one for me this
51:20
Bears. And I'm really looking forward to
51:21
see seeing how they play.
51:23
>> Bears hands down.
51:25
>> Yeah. Um next game, Saints Panthers. I
51:28
fancy Panthers to spank the Saints.
51:31
>> Yeah, I've got the P I've got the
51:32
Panthers here as well. I I've got the
51:34
Panthers being very close to my
51:35
playoffs. So, if I get one prediction
51:38
wrong, they could be within the
51:39
playoffs. I think
51:40
>> I love this part of the season. I love
51:41
every part of the season. Who am I
51:42
kidding? Um, we've then got the Rams
51:45
against the Lions. Who are you going for
51:47
here?
51:47
>> So, for me, I think this could be this
51:50
either could be game of the week or one
51:53
team's going to absolutely destroy it.
51:54
But I'm going for the Rams.
51:56
>> I'm going for the Lions.
51:57
>> Yeah.
51:58
>> Yeah. This is the week where the Denver
52:00
Broncos go top. The Lions are gonna do
52:03
us a favor and the Broncos will be top.
52:05
In fact, no one late. I put the Broncos
52:07
down to 10th.
52:08
>> Yeah,
52:08
>> because it is it is one. Um Seahawks,
52:11
Colts, I think this be a great game, but
52:12
I'm going to be back in the Seahawks
52:14
who've just been phenomenal for the
52:15
whole season.
52:16
>> Yeah, I'm back in the Seahawks and also
52:19
the Colts are either So, the Colts are
52:20
either playing their third string
52:22
quarterback,
52:24
but he was injured during the game. So
52:27
if Philip Rivers isn't ready, they've
52:28
only got a tight end who can play who
52:30
who's their emergency.
52:32
>> Mate, I'm telling you right now,
52:33
>> then you've got Philip Rivers. But
52:34
>> Philip Rivers is in that squad.
52:37
>> Yeah. I mean, you don't sign a 44 year
52:39
old if you're not going to play him.
52:40
>> He's been practicing for weeks, mate.
52:42
I'm telling you that.
52:43
>> Again, like I said, he he's coaching his
52:45
high school his son's high school team,
52:47
so he's he's ready for it. But
52:48
>> yeah,
52:49
>> I'm still going Seahawks.
52:51
>> Broncos, Packers.
52:54
Unfortunately for you, I'm going to back
52:55
my mate Cameron. I've got I've gone uh
52:57
Packers this week.
53:00
>> Got a bit of brown on the end of your
53:01
nose there, mate.
53:04
>> Well, you So So the only reason I've
53:06
gone for I think it's going to be a
53:08
close game,
53:09
>> but I had the Raiders to beat the
53:11
Broncos this week because they're your
53:14
bogey team. So I've decided that this
53:16
would be your loss for the rest of the
53:17
season if you have a loss. So I thought
53:19
I'd go for Green Bay this week.
53:22
As you can tell, I'm voting for the
53:23
Denver Broncos because we're not going
53:24
to get beat. We're not going to get
53:26
beat. This guy might show up next week.
53:28
He might not. We'll find out. Uh 49ers
53:30
and the Titans. I'm going to go for the
53:32
49ers.
53:33
>> Yeah, even after last week. 49ers wins,
53:36
but it's not like the 49ers are a team
53:40
that could get into the playoffs, but
53:41
like they're they're just not good
53:42
enough at the moment.
53:43
>> Not consistent. They're not consistent.
53:46
Um Cowboys Vikings. I'm going to be
53:48
going for the Cowboys. Yeah, I'm going
53:49
go for the Cowboys as well, but like the
53:52
Vikings.
53:53
>> Both teams have been so inconsistent.
53:55
This could this this was one of my games
53:57
of the week, which is a complete flip of
53:59
the coin.
54:00
>> And then Steelers and Dolphins. I'm
54:03
going to go for the Fins. I'm back to
54:05
Dolphins.
54:06
>> Yeah, we had a chat about this, but
54:07
yeah, I'm going for the Steelers. I
54:09
think
54:10
>> I think the Steelers have got a better
54:11
defense, and I think if Aaron Rogers has
54:14
his day, then that's about it.
54:17
>> Okay. Well, that's that. Um, no no teams
54:21
are by weeks now. Is that correct?
54:23
>> Yeah. No, no more by weeks the rest of
54:25
until playoffs,
54:27
>> which are very very close. Um, it's
54:30
>> very close. Are you Are you in the
54:32
playoffs for any of your fantasy leagues
54:33
yet?
54:35
>> Um, no, I don't think I am. I think I'm
54:38
close on two of them. One of them I'm
54:39
definitely not. You're in that one. Um,
54:42
>> yeah. I've won a game though, so I'm not
54:44
really that bothered. Um,
54:45
>> how you won a game if I'm honest.
54:48
Like the Broncos can be as good as they
54:50
want. You can't have an entire team full
54:52
of one team and win a game in fantasy.
54:54
That's not how it works.
54:57
>> Um I I've got So this week, if I win
54:59
this week in our league, I'm in the
55:02
playoffs. I'm currently position four.
55:03
We've only got a four team playoffs.
55:06
It's really annoying because I'm playing
55:07
Lee, so I have to beat Lee to get into
55:09
the playoffs and then play Lee probably
55:10
next week.
55:13
It's Well, look,
55:16
we we'll go through it. We'll go through
55:17
it. Um folks, it's been an absolute
55:20
pleasure once again. We'd love you on
55:22
every week. Um that's week 15 of the
55:25
Audible. Um I'm going to let you say
55:27
because you're up top, mate.
55:29
>> Well, I've been Steve.
55:31
>> I've been Matteo. Thank you very much,
55:33
folks. Get your fancy football team
55:34
sorted and we will see you next week.
55:37
Take care.
55:37
>> With Cameron.
55:38
>> With Cameron. Yes. or neighbor league.
