• 0:12
  Yo, yo, yo, welcome back to Banter with the boys.
• 0:15
  Gridiron updates week 16.
• 0:19
  Playoffs fast approaching.
• 0:20
  I mean, it's just it's just it's coming to an end.
• 0:23
  I can't believe it already.
• 0:24
  I know it feels good. We've got three weeks left.
• 0:26
  And three more weeks.
• 0:27
  Three of the regular season. We're just getting started.
• 0:30
  I know. We're just getting started to the real games, man.
• 0:32
  And we punched our ticket this week.
• 0:34
  That's right. Yes, we did.
• 0:35
  Well, well, D'Angelo's ticket's been punched, I suppose.
• 0:38
  OK. Yeah, technically, I guess.
• 0:40
  But the rest of us are just going to get a little
• 0:44
  splash this week. But Rob, how's it going?
• 0:45
  It's doing well. Yeah, it's really good.
• 0:48
  It was a solid Monday night.
• 0:49
  That white out was look good.
• 0:51
  Vibe looked good.
• 0:52
  You know, I wish I was Dom. He was there.
• 0:54
  Yeah, Dom was there.
• 0:55
  I was the game was crazy. I was wearing the purple.
• 0:58
  Lady was wearing white, but it was a good time.
• 1:01
  Vibes were high. Game was great.
• 1:03
  And we got the dub.
• 1:05
  You were getting into it with a couple of fans.
• 1:07
  Yeah. Bear down.
• 1:08
  A lot of a lot of trash was thrown at me at the end of that game.
• 1:11
  I bet. I bet.
• 1:13
  In U.S. Bank Stadium. In the bank.
• 1:15
  In the bank at that, too.
• 1:16
  So obviously, you can tell by the raspiness in my voice.
• 1:19
  It was a very long night.
• 1:22
  A very long night. Very long night.
• 1:24
  And D'Angelo, we're happy to have you this week.
• 1:25
  Appreciate it, man. I'm glad to be back.
• 1:27
  I'm a little sad. You know, the Lions, they took the L this past weekend.
• 1:32
  I mean, Josh Allen, Doug, he's just playing phenomenal.
• 1:36
  I mean, you really can't do none of the guys that, you know, competing at that level.
• 1:39
  He's on his own planet. So yeah, he is.
• 1:42
  Yeah. Both take it to the chin.
• 1:43
  Yeah. Both went crazy.
• 1:45
  And well, I can't wait to get after that.
• 1:47
  Well, that's that's probably the game of the week.
• 1:48
  Yeah, for sure.
• 1:49
  Oh, yeah. Video game numbers, for sure.
• 1:51
  Yeah. Video. There you go. Video game.
• 1:53
  Video game numbers.
• 1:54
  With that, Kev, let's head into our game or week 15 game recaps.
• 2:08
  You already know Skoda, the ball, we're up here.
• 2:11
  Dom's got the towel from the game.
• 2:13
  I got a flag. Rob's wearing no purple, so he's no longer a Viking.
• 2:17
  But the Vikings getting dubbed 30 to 12 Rob as a non Viking fan.
• 2:22
  Now, how did that game look?
• 2:24
  I mean, he's got a Viking's football. I'm sorry.
• 2:26
  Yeah, I mean, it was all overall a solid game.
• 2:30
  Good start at the strip sack to start by a good yard.
• 2:33
  You know, that was Bill talking, NFC Defensive Player of the Year.
• 2:36
  OK, so I was going to I was going to talk to you about that.
• 2:38
  I am now I'm not on that bandwagon, but I'm now I'm like,
• 2:43
  I'm prepared to go into that battle with you now.
• 2:45
  I think Grenard just having an outstanding season.
• 2:48
  Yeah, yeah. So that's that fumble should be a touchdown.
• 2:51
  It should have started off, you know, they end up getting a field
• 2:53
  goal out of it, you know, and then 13 13 nil at half.
• 2:56
  So that's always a nice start.
• 2:59
  Sam had a really solid day other than that one. Yeah. Yeah.
• 3:02
  You know, it was kind of a 50 50 ball.
• 3:04
  Or I didn't like the play selection on the third on that fourth and three.
• 3:09
  Anyway, it wasn't it wasn't what I was expecting.
• 3:12
  I don't know why we went to wide receivers in the corner, forcing it
• 3:15
  when we could just probably run like either like a bubble screen
• 3:18
  maybe or even just underneath throughout the Hawkinson.
• 3:20
  It's fourth and three or just run the ball the gut.
• 3:23
  Let's ride. That's right. He says, yeah.
• 3:25
  I know. I know you said Sam Darnold a decent day.
• 3:27
  And I mean, I would agree. I mean, we won the game, right? Yeah.
• 3:31
  We because again, I'm on the roster just motivational speaker.
• 3:35
  Yeah, for sure. Yes. Yes. That's my position.
• 3:39
  Sorry that threw me off.
• 3:41
  But yeah, with that, what I wanted, I want to touch on Sam Darnold.
• 3:46
  I feel like they were this close.
• 3:47
  I mean, the score being 30 to 12, they were this close for that
• 3:50
  from that game being a blowout.
• 3:52
  Sam Darnold connects on a couple, you know, quote unquote to us
• 3:56
  armchair folks like easier throws.
• 3:58
  You know what I mean? He missed a couple easy throws.
• 4:00
  Yes, JJ dropped the one to which he took credit for the old drop stuff.
• 4:04
  So it's been a while. I don't remember his last drop.
• 4:08
  I do not even care.
• 4:09
  No, like you you get one.
• 4:12
  No problem. No problem.
• 4:14
  No problem. We were playing.
• 4:15
  Right. But I think if Sam cleans up a little bit of that, it seemed
• 4:21
  like the touch passes he was having the most trouble with, you know, like
• 4:24
  I'm saying, you know, like seven to 15 yards, you know, that little window.
• 4:29
  He just kept missing them.
• 4:30
  Yeah. And he did throw a couple dimes, though, and he did.
• 4:33
  You know, absolutely.
• 4:34
  You know, you're like, I'm just saying it felt like it was that close
• 4:37
  to being a complete blowout, which you the play calling.
• 4:40
  It felt like he wanted it.
• 4:41
  Yeah. I mean, there were seven auto at 14, 50 percent
• 4:44
  on third down versions is a pretty solid number.
• 4:48
  You want to at least be at that 50 percent mark.
• 4:50
  Bears are one.
• 4:52
  They didn't get their first first.
• 4:53
  They didn't get their first third down conversion to like the mid third quarter.
• 4:56
  That's it.
• 4:58
  That's and that's not the only team that we're going to talk about tonight
• 5:00
  that had the third down.
• 5:01
  What was I mean?
• 5:02
  Just a complete game changer and you can't get the first down.
• 5:04
  Yeah. Other than that, did you what are we?
• 5:07
  You know, I know we've talked about Caleb Williams all year, but, you know,
• 5:10
  did you did the Angela, did you see anything different?
• 5:13
  Oh, Williams, like he honestly didn't play as bad as I thought he was going to be.
• 5:17
  I mean, he had no picks in the air.
• 5:19
  It was rough.
• 5:20
  And then he got that that touchdown to Keenan Allen was.
• 5:22
  Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
• 5:24
  I mean, yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, window.
• 5:26
  He said that in.
• 5:27
  So I mean, he well, he threw it 31 times.
• 5:31
  Just about a completion.
• 5:32
  Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, you really can't bash him too much.
• 5:36
  I mean, yeah, the defense really didn't play.
• 5:39
  No, they were getting gassed.
• 5:40
  Oh, yeah. Well, they're on the field. It was a long day.
• 5:43
  Yeah, for sure.
• 5:44
  Caleb Williams knows how to extend the play.
• 5:45
  He's really good extending the play.
• 5:47
  Yeah, no, for sure.
• 5:47
  There was a couple of times where I was like, let's get a sack and he just
• 5:51
  running around getting that one where he just hugged it down.
• 5:54
  But he literally just running around.
• 5:56
  Yeah, stuff like that.
• 5:57
  So I mean, like I said, for the Bears, for the franchise down the road,
• 6:00
  there is excited for the Caleb Williams and everything.
• 6:03
  Besides that, I'm just big on it's time to get that coaches staff together.
• 6:07
  Yeah. Something is wrong in that in that just the building,
• 6:09
  you know, for me personally, and I can tell on the field.
• 6:12
  If your owner of the Bears, you're keeping the GM still? No.
• 6:15
  No, you'd get to the GM.
• 6:17
  It's time to just.
• 6:19
  Yeah, I mean, I second that.
• 6:21
  He's like, what, two and 14 versus NFC North over that position right now.
• 6:26
  So that's the craziest.
• 6:28
  I mean, that's that's tough.
• 6:29
  But at the same time, it's a business too.
• 6:30
  So I mean, I could probably still keep see them, keeping them because.
• 6:33
  Yeah. You know, one more year.
• 6:35
  Yeah, it's not like I like some of his free agent signings.
• 6:38
  So that's the thing for me that's kind of, you know, especially defensively,
• 6:41
  at least trying to glue together a defense and start something.
• 6:45
  You know, you got Montez sweat.
• 6:46
  Yeah, that was a pretty big deal.
• 6:48
  You know what I mean? So I don't know.
• 6:50
  I think I'd keep them for now. Right.
• 6:52
  But I'd imagine he's going to be part of that hiring process for the H.C.
• 6:57
  So you really got to hit it.
• 6:58
  You got to hit a home run there. Definitely do.
• 7:00
  And it's not a horrible situation to be stepping into.
• 7:02
  So you're going to have some good candidates.
• 7:03
  Just a hard division to be coming into as a new.
• 7:05
  Oh, there we are.
• 7:07
  So it's just it's just like it's just in a sense, you would be like,
• 7:10
  this is defeating. I got to go play.
• 7:12
  Some would say two of the contenders for the Super Bowl
• 7:15
  and come in next season, you know, I'm saying.
• 7:17
  We don't know who's going to Super Bowl right now.
• 7:19
  But next season, new head coach comes in.
• 7:21
  One of these guys won Super Bowl.
• 7:22
  And it's a tough thing about it.
• 7:23
  I've got to be four and what, you know, this last year.
• 7:26
  Yeah, it's going to be tough.
• 7:27
  But at the same time, you just got to come in
• 7:29
  and come with the right mindset for these guys.
• 7:31
  You got Caleb Williams.
• 7:32
  You got a good quarterback, got a good mindset.
• 7:34
  You just got to get some more players and a couple more pieces of the puzzle.
• 7:37
  Sure, for sure.
• 7:39
  Staying in that division.
• 7:41
  We'll just go ahead and talk about the Packers next.
• 7:43
  Is there only because they're just next on the list here?
• 7:47
  But again, with that division talk,
• 7:49
  Packers are third in the division at 10 or four.
• 7:51
  Yeah, like that's that's insane.
• 7:53
  It is absolutely. That's insane.
• 7:55
  Packers get the dub 30 to 13 in Seattle.
• 7:58
  I thought Seattle put up more of a fight.
• 8:00
  Yes, Geno went down, but I just thought it'd be a little bit different.
• 8:03
  I thought Seattle's defense would play a little bit better.
• 8:05
  I mean, that first quarter just got away from them. Yeah.
• 8:08
  I mean, I think that was probably the best Packer game
• 8:10
  I've seen they play all year long. It's kind of scary.
• 8:13
  You know, they're starting to get warm right now.
• 8:15
  Who's that linebacker, 56, who just came back and played?
• 8:18
  They end up having an intercepted to, but he was all over the Cooper Cooper.
• 8:22
  Yes. Edwin Cooper.
• 8:23
  Yeah. So like, oh my gosh, that defense is starting to pick up.
• 8:26
  Yeah, Geno going down kind of changed the overall second half of that game.
• 8:30
  But, oh, that pick to he threw leading into half.
• 8:34
  Yeah, that felt like a giant moment.
• 8:36
  Yeah, it was just like, yeah, 20 to three at half.
• 8:39
  But I mean, then felt your starting quarterback.
• 8:41
  That's a tough field for sure. Yeah, no doubt.
• 8:45
  I mean, that Packer receiving room, though, I mean, that's
• 8:47
  that's got me a little bit concerned heading into the playoffs.
• 8:50
  I mean, I can't lie. Romeo Dobbs.
• 8:52
  I think it was Dobbs. Is he number 87? Yeah.
• 8:54
  Yeah, that that one touch down where he catches it and he just
• 8:58
  I mean, he's just a man. Yeah.
• 9:00
  And he's just a man.
• 9:01
  Yeah. And puts that in the end zone.
• 9:03
  Oh, I love that. Yeah.
• 9:05
  But like that receiving room as a whole, at the moment,
• 9:08
  I'm going to revoke my hate of Christian Watson
• 9:10
  because he's made a couple of outstanding catches last year.
• 9:12
  No act on the Christian Watson.
• 9:14
  No, no, I'm just revoking the hate for now.
• 9:18
  Next week you're going to come with his jersey.
• 9:21
  Oh, if the Packers win the Super Bowl this year, I'll buy Christian Watson.
• 9:26
  All right. All right. Good. From DHK.
• 9:33
  But no, the one catch that he had this week where he's literally spinning around
• 9:37
  catches the ball and still has the know how to get your feet in bounds.
• 9:40
  I mean, that's just that's an actual level.
• 9:41
  And then the catch, I think it was last week or two weeks ago,
• 9:43
  it was just outstanding to get in the toe tap.
• 9:46
  And Laferre spreads the ball around really well to all athletes.
• 9:50
  You know, like I was just looking at their target share
• 9:52
  or in their touches, everyone's touching the ball.
• 9:54
  And it looks for sure. Jordan loves looking healthy.
• 9:57
  Josh Jacobs is a freaking force when he comes out in the first quarter
• 10:01
  and just starts.
• 10:02
  I mean, you're just pounding the rock already down their throat with Josh Jacobs.
• 10:05
  I mean, that's tough. Yeah.
• 10:07
  If you're already giving up first, I mean, he's he was already
• 10:09
  wearing down that defense in the first quarter. He was.
• 10:12
  So as far as Seattle, though, I mean, they're approaching the playoffs.
• 10:17
  They're in the lead.
• 10:18
  They're tied for the leader right now in the division with the Rams.
• 10:20
  I don't know who gets out right now. They're technically out right now.
• 10:23
  They're eliminated. No, not eliminated.
• 10:25
  Not eliminated. Yeah.
• 10:27
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 10:29
  They still can make it. Yeah.
• 10:30
  They started today. They'd be out. Yeah. Right.
• 10:32
  By one by one game because of Washington taking that last shot.
• 10:37
  So that's crazy.
• 10:38
  I mean, three wild card teams almost in double wins right now.
• 10:42
  Yeah. Compared to the AFC, you look at it's pretty much AFC is almost decided.
• 10:48
  You know, who's going for the most part.
• 10:51
  I think there's a two game gap between the eight team and the seven team.
• 10:54
  So unless I'm crazy happens.
• 10:57
  Right. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure. Sure.
• 11:02
  But let's just move on.
• 11:03
  There's not much we don't like talking about the Packers.
• 11:05
  Not I mean, I mean, I mean, I got they got 10 wins.
• 11:08
  They're they're going to the playoffs.
• 11:09
  We know most likely they have not clinched yet, but they will.
• 11:14
  But let's go to the other team lurking in the NFC north.
• 11:17
  I say lurking, but they're leading. Right.
• 11:19
  Unfortunately, unfortunately, or slipping.
• 11:22
  And, you know, OK, hold on a minute.
• 11:26
  Bill's traveling to Detroit, getting the dub 48 to 42.
• 11:30
  Bill's trying to attempt to go after that one seed in the AFC.
• 11:35
  Lions trying to lock in that one scene.
• 11:37
  I mean, just a ridiculous battle.
• 11:39
  I mean, potential Super Bowl preview, maybe someday.
• 11:41
  Who knows? Yeah.
• 11:42
  Not this year because the likes are gone.
• 11:44
  But the answer. What did you see?
• 11:45
  What did you see from your line?
• 11:47
  That one? Yeah, for sure. No doubt.
• 11:49
  I mean, great play from both quarterbacks.
• 11:51
  But yeah, no, late on us as a Lions fan, man.
• 11:55
  I mean, as far as like what I saw.
• 11:58
  Golf, his decision making was a little rocky at first,
• 12:02
  but I mean, he got it together.
• 12:04
  Defensive play calling.
• 12:07
  Was all over the place, man, I feel like they
• 12:11
  they didn't have enough spies on Allen.
• 12:13
  It you literally let him do what he's good at doing.
• 12:16
  Yeah. And once you do that,
• 12:18
  it's going to be a 48.
• 12:19
  Like, come on now. 90 points. It's crazy.
• 12:23
  So it's like when it gets to that point,
• 12:24
  it's pretty much the battle of the quarterbacks.
• 12:26
  And, you know, Allen, he took the last
• 12:30
  the last the last hit really when it comes to boxing.
• 12:33
  So that was a haymaker for us.
• 12:35
  But I mean, we we we picked it up late.
• 12:39
  We tried to, you know, do the onside, try to get the ball.
• 12:41
  21 in the quarter. I know.
• 12:44
  So it's clear today that, you know, we always can score.
• 12:46
  Like we get right off and we can do it.
• 12:49
  You got plenty.
• 12:50
  Yeah, we got the playmakers for it.
• 12:51
  So it's all elephant in the room, though.
• 12:54
  Montgomery out for the season. Yeah, that's huge.
• 12:56
  How do you feel about that? Oh, man.
• 12:58
  I don't know. Knuckles.
• 13:02
  I mean, it's it's definitely it's going to.
• 13:04
  Yeah, it's going to take a hit on us.
• 13:06
  But Gibbs, you really can't go wrong with him.
• 13:11
  Feeding him the ball all game.
• 13:13
  He's a threat. Yeah, no, he's a threat.
• 13:15
  Yeah. And the receiving game, too.
• 13:16
  So, yeah, we can you know, he he's versatile with it.
• 13:19
  We can do a lot with him.
• 13:21
  I'm not too much concerned, even though like, you know, Montgomery
• 13:24
  he'll come in when we need those those tough yards,
• 13:27
  you know, those tough yards where he'll go up the hole and bang a few.
• 13:31
  Is there going to be anybody else on the roster right now?
• 13:33
  It's going to fill that void.
• 13:34
  Or are you or are you giving it to Gibbs?
• 13:36
  I'm gives a expected, you know, I'm giving you 20 to 25 carries again.
• 13:41
  I got 25 percent more. Yeah, for sure.
• 13:44
  You know, he can take it, you know, he's a tough dude.
• 13:46
  He's a tough man.
• 13:47
  He got the speed and he has the power to like a lot of people don't do.
• 13:52
  He's strong.
• 13:52
  Like you've seen some plays where he's trucking dudes
• 13:55
  and he's getting, you know, extra 30 yards down the field.
• 13:58
  So it's like it all comes to, you know, who wants to play now?
• 14:01
  You see, we got everybody down on the defense.
• 14:03
  I who wants to step up?
• 14:04
  You know, that's what a championship caliber team.
• 14:07
  You got to have those, you know, you got to trust in your second string
• 14:09
  just as much as your first, your third, just as much as the second.
• 14:12
  So it's free ball game on the defense, really.
• 14:15
  So it's like everybody got to step up.
• 14:16
  We did lose a lame. That was huge. Oh, my God.
• 14:19
  Yeah. So what's more?
• 14:21
  I guess I would say as a fan, losing Montgomery or Neil, that the detail.
• 14:26
  Yeah, I'm going to leave.
• 14:27
  I would say, yeah, yeah, like because you're still. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 14:30
  Exactly. We already got Aiden banged up.
• 14:33
  But another big, big defensive line. Yeah.
• 14:35
  Yeah. Best here at the line.
• 14:36
  No, for sure. Hands down, hands down.
• 14:38
  He was our best cat.
• 14:39
  And it's like, you know, those non contact injury plays
• 14:42
  a way that was nobody wants.
• 14:44
  Yeah, nobody. Even if you hate the team.
• 14:46
  Yeah, exactly.
• 14:47
  But I wish I'd upon. Yeah, I know.
• 14:48
  That was that was tough, man. I was watching. I'm like, oh, OK.
• 14:51
  So you got at Chicago at San Fran
• 14:55
  and then you got to come here to the bank, obviously, to end the season.
• 14:58
  What's the record? Oh, there.
• 15:00
  We got to go to the.
• 15:01
  Oh, yeah. I'm looking at Detroit.
• 15:03
  The dance. Yeah.
• 15:04
  We got to go there.
• 15:06
  What's the record?
• 15:07
  You know, yeah, I knew.
• 15:10
  I mean, I could have told you the answer before you asked the question.
• 15:14
  I mean, we see what he's already holding the Super Bowl trophy.
• 15:19
  I mean, it's really I feel like it's going to be
• 15:22
  a huge load on golf just going going forward, man.
• 15:26
  It's like you're the heart of the team right now.
• 15:29
  You know, the quarterback is usually the heart.
• 15:31
  Oh, you're the leader.
• 15:32
  So it's like, yeah, you can have a 500 passing yard game with five Tuddy's.
• 15:36
  It's still loose. Yeah.
• 15:37
  And you can have a game with five picks.
• 15:40
  And still win.
• 15:41
  So it's like we have the team for granted.
• 15:43
  We do. We are facing a lot of adversity right now.
• 15:46
  But I mean, it's just, you know, the choice about grit.
• 15:50
  So it's like as long as I keep that grit in them, they'll they'll they'll manage.
• 15:55
  I got faith. So grit and also the mailman coming in to play the tax
• 16:03
  before we move on the bills.
• 16:05
  Obviously, we talked about Detroit.
• 16:07
  We haven't even talked about the bills yet, who actually won this one, this
• 16:10
  shootout, I guess you could say.
• 16:12
  I mean, it was, you know, it was.
• 16:13
  Yeah, it was a great game.
• 16:14
  But I was riding with D'Angelo last week.
• 16:17
  I had the line.
• 16:18
  But when I when you look at the game, you watched it.
• 16:21
  Anybody say that's a great game on Madden.
• 16:23
  You know, I'm saying Todd Johnson, Fiverr.
• 16:25
  He had his running back in mad.
• 16:26
  Most receptions in the most yards on the receiving side.
• 16:29
  So in Josh Allen, he's playing an MVP caliber.
• 16:32
  That Clinton for that.
• 16:33
  So I think that was going to be my question is Josh Allen MVP.
• 16:36
  I would. I know we say that Sam Darnold's there.
• 16:40
  But man, Josh Allen.
• 16:41
  No, I wouldn't put ever put Sam Darnold above Josh.
• 16:44
  No, he's doing it's because I mean, it's
• 16:46
  it's because of what he can do with his legs, man.
• 16:48
  Yeah, he doesn't just slide all the time.
• 16:51
  No, he's very big.
• 16:53
  Don't get me wrong. You can't lose that guy right now.
• 16:56
  Yeah, I'm sure, you know, every hit, the whole staff is like, yeah, yeah,
• 17:00
  let's not.
• 17:01
  You know, at the same time, Josh Allen's got that in him.
• 17:03
  Yeah, he does. He's got that.
• 17:05
  He's got that grit.
• 17:06
  You know, I'm saying like you talking about D'Angelo,
• 17:08
  but the Lions got that grit.
• 17:09
  That's what I feel like.
• 17:10
  That's the definition of Josh Allen is the way he plays the game.
• 17:13
  He's putting all on on on the on the field.
• 17:16
  Yeah, he's he's having a really nice year.
• 17:19
  I feel like in the years past, he's usually like,
• 17:22
  we'll throw a bunch of balls where you're like, yeah, you know.
• 17:25
  Yeah, but he's been really consistent, hasn't been really the old gunslinger,
• 17:29
  you know, mentality, just chucking it everywhere.
• 17:31
  He's just very thoughtful of his full, you know, art.
• 17:35
  All that. Yeah.
• 17:36
  Well, he's just he's just been different for me to the second half of the season.
• 17:38
  I mean, the whole team has, but he has to.
• 17:41
  I mean, they're just they're really locking in right now and playing some good ball.
• 17:45
  They're getting scared.
• 17:46
  But that defense now is giving up 42 weeks in a row. For sure.
• 17:49
  Yeah, for sure. Yeah.
• 17:50
  So but I believe that I think if they played the Chiefs right now, that'd be insane.
• 17:54
  I mean, I think I don't think they play the right.
• 17:57
  I mean, Patrick Holmes also is hurt right now, too.
• 17:59
  Got that. He's got the high angle sprain.
• 18:00
  Yeah, we'll definitely touch on that.
• 18:02
  But I'm just saying, like, if they if they played like right now,
• 18:04
  I think that'd be a that's a score.
• 18:06
  You know what I mean? It's going to be for it could be.
• 18:08
  You know, I don't know.
• 18:09
  You don't think so?
• 18:10
  I don't think the Chiefs put up that much.
• 18:13
  OK. I mean, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
• 18:15
  But that's what I mean.
• 18:16
  Like, I'm more scared of the Bills right now.
• 18:18
  Oh, hands down. Yeah.
• 18:19
  Heading into the playoffs.
• 18:20
  You still got Baltimore and the Steelers lurking.
• 18:22
  Yeah. Wild cards, you know, in the sense.
• 18:25
  So I don't know.
• 18:27
  AFC could be tough.
• 18:28
  It's going to be fun.
• 18:30
  Yeah, it's going to be fun.
• 18:33
  I'm excited. You know, either team to beat either.
• 18:36
  Yeah. You talk about March Madness.
• 18:38
  Let's talk about that.
• 18:39
  Playoffs this year.
• 18:39
  This is a fun.
• 18:41
  Bill still have a shot at that number one seat.
• 18:42
  I mean, they play the Patriots, Jets and then the Patriots again.
• 18:45
  I mean, yeah, if they're for real, that should be sweet.
• 18:49
  They should be three and all.
• 18:50
  So who knows?
• 18:51
  Maybe they steal the number one seat.
• 18:53
  Well, they got two games behind.
• 18:55
  So they got they got to win out for sure.
• 18:57
  And then with my home's ankle, you never know what.
• 19:00
  Maybe they sit and they sit and play the long game and be like,
• 19:02
  Oh, well, we might lose the number one seed.
• 19:05
  But you want that one.
• 19:07
  Oh, for sure you do.
• 19:08
  Because now that's even more rest.
• 19:10
  Yeah, no, for sure. Yeah.
• 19:11
  But what does it feel like every year Patrick Holmes
• 19:13
  twists an ankle at the end of the year and plays and he's fun.
• 19:16
  Right. And he's amazing.
• 19:18
  He doesn't miss a beat.
• 19:19
  And then plays at an elite level.
• 19:22
  I actually got a notification that they're saying he's practicing
• 19:25
  and Hollywood Browns in full, full goal.
• 19:28
  All right. All right.
• 19:29
  All right. Enough about my home's in the sheets
• 19:31
  because we're going all Chris Collins.
• 19:33
  We're falling in love with my home's.
• 19:34
  We're not even talking about the chiefs.
• 19:37
  So anyway, with that Bucks at Chargers,
• 19:40
  there's a tough one for you.
• 19:41
  This. Yeah, this is extremely disappointing.
• 19:44
  But what it did for me as a Chargers fan, if you will,
• 19:48
  just solidified that this team is not really a playoff team.
• 19:51
  I mean, they're they're kind of fakers to me.
• 19:53
  The secondaries are extremely sauce right now.
• 19:56
  And then they're offensively they don't have any for sure.
• 20:00
  That the schedule help them.
• 20:02
  But offensively, there's just no rhythm there right now.
• 20:05
  You know, first year head coach, you know, first year of having
• 20:07
  the new head coach, you know what I mean?
• 20:09
  So I'm hoping off season is a little bit different.
• 20:12
  They got to add a playmaking running back
• 20:15
  because you can see what it can do for that offense.
• 20:17
  Yeah, they need a right back.
• 20:18
  You can't rely on Dobbins at this point.
• 20:19
  So you got to add somebody.
• 20:21
  McConkey caught another touchdown.
• 20:23
  Quinton Johnson had a good game.
• 20:24
  Yeah, you know, there's good pieces there.
• 20:27
  But defensively, I mean, it's just scary.
• 20:29
  Defensively and then also they had nine rushes.
• 20:33
  I mean, that's what I mean.
• 20:34
  There's no rhythm.
• 20:36
  And, you know, if you look at it, you're up 17 to what?
• 20:39
  Bad at math, 17 to 13 at half.
• 20:43
  Yeah, there's no excuse to only have 11 total rushes.
• 20:45
  Well, in the second, yeah.
• 20:46
  In the second half, they went punt punt.
• 20:49
  I.T. turn over and downs, turn on downs, fumble.
• 20:52
  So that's how they finish the second.
• 20:54
  And when we talked about the Bears third downs, this was the other team.
• 20:58
  And they did not they couldn't get a first down to save their life.
• 21:02
  Twenty three total plays in the second half they had.
• 21:05
  That's terrible. That's disappointing.
• 21:07
  Their third down efficiency, they were over six.
• 21:09
  The players were very over two on fourth down.
• 21:12
  So I got in the box were nine for 15 on the other.
• 21:16
  Yeah. I don't mean Baker looked good.
• 21:18
  No, he looked great.
• 21:18
  Mike Evans. Oh, no.
• 21:20
  He turned out.
• 21:21
  Yeah, he had a blow.
• 21:23
  Rob's happy about Mike Evans.
• 21:26
  Every time every time Mike Evans got a catch, I just thought about Rob
• 21:29
  just like dancing in his seat like, yep, everyone.
• 21:33
  Feel it. I know you're in a PR lead, too.
• 21:35
  So, oh, yeah, you know, it's the only way to play basketball.
• 21:38
  So Tampa being eight and six, obviously, when leading the NFC
• 21:42
  South right now, Falcons at seven and seven.
• 21:46
  Falcons had the tiebreaker, though, they beat him twice.
• 21:47
  Yeah. Yeah. Right.
• 21:49
  So who do the Falcons have real quick, real quick?
• 21:52
  They have the commanders.
• 21:54
  I know a game I've actually Giants and Panthers.
• 21:57
  Yeah. So the Falcons are favorable schedule.
• 21:59
  They do. Yeah.
• 22:00
  I would say two and one.
• 22:01
  They had probably they probably I think Washington pulls that out.
• 22:04
  Yeah. I got the box.
• 22:05
  They are pulling it up right now.
• 22:07
  Cowboys, Cowboys, Panthers, Saints.
• 22:10
  So, I mean, it's a favorable schedule for them to. Yeah.
• 22:13
  I don't know. That's going to come down to it.
• 22:15
  But right now as well, I mean, it's it's looking like if it stayed the same,
• 22:18
  Atlanta would also be out of the playoffs.
• 22:21
  They would technically. Yeah.
• 22:23
  So might as well start like that.
• 22:24
  That'd be the end of.
• 22:25
  I was going to say that's the end of the Kirk Cousins in Atlanta.
• 22:29
  Yeah. I bet he'd be a free agent again.
• 22:32
  Just in time for Atlanta to sign Sam Darnold and then Kirk Cousins
• 22:35
  goes back to Minnesota.
• 22:37
  Oh, no, no, no.
• 22:39
  It's not a 10-4.
• 22:40
  I'll have moment.
• 22:41
  I'm not claiming that that's what's going to happen.
• 22:42
  So you're saying if say if the Falcons don't make the playoffs,
• 22:46
  I think that's gone. Yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 22:48
  Really? Yeah. I think so.
• 22:50
  I think I think a lot of money.
• 22:52
  Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
• 22:53
  That's a lot of money.
• 22:54
  That last loop is right.
• 22:56
  OK, it didn't work.
• 22:57
  You still drafted a quarterback that has played a lot of football.
• 23:00
  That we've talked about.
• 23:02
  I think it's you still got to pay Kirk Cousins next season.
• 23:05
  Or do you see a start Kirk and like you give them like four games?
• 23:10
  A short release this time.
• 23:11
  Yeah, I can see that.
• 23:12
  Yeah, I would see that.
• 23:13
  And they just pulled a string.
• 23:15
  Oh, yeah. It's got four games.
• 23:16
  You don't get it together.
• 23:17
  Yeah, that's it. Yeah.
• 23:19
  But he'd be sitting.
• 23:19
  I don't think they'd release him at that point.
• 23:21
  I feel like he'd sit and accept that role for this season
• 23:25
  and then try to start somewhere else next season.
• 23:26
  But at that point, I don't know if anybody would give him a shot.
• 23:28
  Yeah, there's yeah, there's some people at the 49ers.
• 23:31
  I'd rather look at look Raiders.
• 23:34
  How is looking his chops about, you know,
• 23:37
  he looks who knows right now.
• 23:39
  Yeah. But all right.
• 23:41
  All right. Enough about Tampa Bay and whoever we're talking about.
• 23:44
  Chargers. Unbelievable.
• 23:46
  Not just bad. Just bad.
• 23:48
  Speaking of a not another non-competitive game, really.
• 23:51
  I mean, it was defensive.
• 23:52
  It was well, it was very wet.
• 23:54
  Rams get in the win 12 to six over the Niners in San Fran.
• 24:01
  Debo non factor.
• 24:03
  Ten touches total.
• 24:05
  What is going on?
• 24:05
  How do you hear one of your best off players?
• 24:08
  Only ten touches. Yeah, he's seven targets reruns.
• 24:12
  Must be. There's some going on in the 49ers locker room in general.
• 24:15
  You think so? You think the guy left at half time.
• 24:18
  Campbell. Yeah. Campbell.
• 24:19
  Less than a half time. Yeah.
• 24:21
  There's got to be something going on over there.
• 24:23
  Like nobody's happy right now.
• 24:25
  You know, everybody thought they were going to be Super Bowl contenders
• 24:27
  and they're not even making it.
• 24:29
  How many wins they got right now? Six.
• 24:31
  Six. They're still technically in.
• 24:33
  I know the division they play on. They're still technically.
• 24:35
  But I don't. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not a threat to me.
• 24:37
  Yeah. No. Yeah.
• 24:38
  I totally thought they were a Super Bowl contender at the beginning of the season.
• 24:41
  I hope they make the playoff.
• 24:43
  NFC championship game at the least.
• 24:45
  Right. You know, probably against the Lions.
• 24:47
  No, yeah. We'd have to rewind the tape.
• 24:49
  No, I had them there. I had them there.
• 24:51
  I don't need tape. I know.
• 24:55
  I remember. Yeah.
• 24:56
  I mean, I mean, with McCaffrey not playing really the whole season.
• 24:59
  I mean, they're a whole different team.
• 25:01
  But exactly the whole season, though, at some point, you got to change it up.
• 25:04
  At some point, you got to start figuring out how to live without him.
• 25:08
  But unfortunately, you're also trying to figure out how to live without Debo, too,
• 25:11
  since he doesn't seem to show up. So it's it's tough.
• 25:14
  You just got to get the stars of the line over there, man.
• 25:16
  I mean, that's where you see the running game with the play action.
• 25:19
  So effective on a lot of teams.
• 25:21
  And that's what makes Debo and you couldn't kill.
• 25:23
  A Kyle Shanahan offense. You really succeed.
• 25:25
  You see Kyle Shanahan, he's got it going over there.
• 25:27
  I mean, that running game, any running back come over there on the ball.
• 25:30
  I know. Isaac Arendo, you know what I'm saying?
• 25:33
  I don't really know much about Isaac Arendo, but the man still came in
• 25:36
  and was doing his thing behind, you know.
• 25:38
  So, I mean, right there, like the Angels said, the stars got a line.
• 25:41
  How do you feel about Purdy?
• 25:42
  I mean, I think I think I think it's finally coming in.
• 25:46
  I understood why he was the last round draft pick. Yeah.
• 25:48
  Oh, you think he doesn't come back from this really?
• 25:51
  He's on just a downward trend and then he'll live down there.
• 25:55
  Oh, I'll live on that one right now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
• 25:57
  That's why I feel like I can kind of see.
• 25:59
  Because this contract here for him is 100 percent.
• 26:02
  This is a big year for him.
• 26:03
  I wouldn't sign him back.
• 26:05
  Yeah, now I'm not starting that now.
• 26:07
  You get Purdy 40 or do you get Darnold 40? 40.
• 26:10
  Oh, they're easy.
• 26:12
  San Fran's going to be gunning for Darnold hard.
• 26:14
  He was already there last year.
• 26:16
  And if Harrison Smith, hypothetically,
• 26:17
  not like one of Vikings, really quick, but if Harrison retires,
• 26:20
  like that clears up a lot of money.
• 26:21
  Now do the Vikings actually consider trying to keep him
• 26:24
  because he's going to be super sought after? Yeah. Yeah.
• 26:26
  Or do you become you or do you become QB to you
• 26:30
  and try to, you know, now you bring up Daniel Jones and try to fix him
• 26:34
  or maybe J.J. McCarthy's ready. You know what I mean?
• 26:37
  So I think there's going to be a market for Sam Darnold.
• 26:39
  100 percent. It should be. I mean, he's proved.
• 26:41
  And if the Vikings don't sign him, he's going to sign a big deal.
• 26:44
  Yeah. So do you franchise take them and trade them?
• 26:47
  Oh, that's actually wouldn't be bad.
• 26:49
  I also thought about the franchise tag.
• 26:51
  I mean, that's an option.
• 26:53
  Or does that add some weird conflict to also?
• 26:56
  And yeah, that too. Yeah.
• 26:58
  Like you get paid a lot of money, but you're just like, OK,
• 27:01
  like you're not going to invest.
• 27:02
  And now I might have to move mid season for all I know.
• 27:05
  You know what I mean?
• 27:05
  Like, but that 40 million dollar paycheck sitting in your bank account.
• 27:09
  Looking nice.
• 27:10
  That man. Are you sure you're not going to take for a quarterback?
• 27:13
  It's all about money.
• 27:15
  But if you're going to do that, then why don't you just sign him
• 27:17
  for a two, three year deal at that?
• 27:19
  Well, then you're planning to keep them.
• 27:20
  Yeah. Right. Exactly.
• 27:22
  It's not the sign and trade.
• 27:23
  So you think they would like franchise
• 27:25
  take them maybe hypothetically, right?
• 27:27
  And then maybe J.J. McCarthy is ready to go.
• 27:29
  I would say the trade and the options on the table.
• 27:31
  You know, we got options right now.
• 27:34
  And that's interesting.
• 27:35
  No, definitely a lot of options.
• 27:36
  All right. Give back to the game.
• 27:38
  Rams Rams Niners. All right.
• 27:39
  Sorry for the Vikings tangent again.
• 27:41
  It is sad, Darnold, the Niners were like, right? Yeah.
• 27:44
  Yeah. He will be on their radar, if not already.
• 27:46
  100 percent if they don't stick with Purdy.
• 27:48
  But I think that's an interesting, interesting take.
• 27:52
  Rams just squeaking by.
• 27:55
  But they're looking like they're going to make a playoff run.
• 27:58
  I mean, they are.
• 27:59
  Are they winning the division now? I believe.
• 28:01
  Definitely. Yeah, they are. Yeah.
• 28:02
  So right now, you know, eight and five.
• 28:04
  Their last three Jets Cardinals, Seahawks.
• 28:06
  I mean, not necessarily super easy.
• 28:09
  I think the Jets win this weekend.
• 28:10
  Yeah, they did. The Jets won.
• 28:13
  So they're going to go for two in a row.
• 28:15
  No, but and then two division games.
• 28:18
  So wrap it up. Yeah, we know the Cardinals aren't,
• 28:21
  you know, they've battled, but they're not quite there.
• 28:22
  But you still got to deal with Kyle and Mary.
• 28:25
  You still got to deal with the playmakers. Yeah.
• 28:27
  Connor had actually a pretty decent game.
• 28:29
  I like James Connor. 30 plus points of fantasy.
• 28:31
  I would love that. I got more fantasy.
• 28:33
  I know he had a good week.
• 28:34
  They paid him too. So he's staying there.
• 28:37
  Oh, yeah, definitely. Oh, yeah.
• 28:38
  A little tidbit, though, I noticed on the Rams game, Cooper.
• 28:41
  Zero, zero, zero, zero. They locked him up.
• 28:43
  Yeah. You know, but that's probably maybe his first time
• 28:47
  that he had zero catches.
• 28:50
  I would say they said since like twenty eighteen.
• 28:53
  Some first time since twenty eighteen, he said zero.
• 28:56
  No, it's third time.
• 28:58
  Or I forget the statistic they had it during the game.
• 29:01
  It's just pretty rare.
• 29:02
  You know, that for any of them drops or just
• 29:03
  I know he's targeted three times. No, I don't.
• 29:06
  Oh, God. Yep. Mrs. Yeah.
• 29:08
  Or just clamped. Yeah.
• 29:10
  The clamp. It says he's got three targets, but
• 29:13
  he got target three times.
• 29:14
  So yeah. But it was that I think about it's the wet football.
• 29:17
  Yeah. I mean, you're just looking generally for the stats.
• 29:20
  No one really.
• 29:21
  I didn't know Thursday night was a tough one to watch.
• 29:24
  I mean, you got eight targets, seven.
• 29:27
  I will say Kyron Williams, though, get yeah.
• 29:29
  108 yards. Yes.
• 29:31
  It's like twenty nine carries to get there. But
• 29:33
  I mean, he's he's now I think they ran him for like twenty
• 29:37
  seven, twenty times last week.
• 29:38
  So now it's workhorse.
• 29:39
  That's not it.
• 29:40
  It's not bad to be doing it this late in the season to ramp up
• 29:43
  for that playoff.
• 29:44
  No, I don't actually hate it this late.
• 29:46
  Early on the season, I hate running up carries for over 25.
• 29:50
  Yeah. Unless they're trying to come back from an injury
• 29:52
  and they need that. Exactly.
• 29:53
  You know what I mean?
• 29:54
  But this late in the season, I'm fine with it.
• 29:56
  You know what I mean? You're just instilling confidence
• 29:58
  in him. So and they're going to need them.
• 30:00
  Yeah. No, they're going to get twenty nine times.
• 30:02
  You're relying on your running.
• 30:04
  Yeah. I mean, with the weather in play, I don't think that was bad.
• 30:08
  Yeah. So it's like they kind of had to do it that much.
• 30:11
  I mean, you really Cooper Cyril catches.
• 30:14
  You have Puka. I mean, he's going to do him.
• 30:16
  I feel like every day starting to become you could almost use Puka
• 30:19
  almost not fully Debo fashion, but in that Debo role,
• 30:24
  more of that gadget player.
• 30:25
  But yeah, no, definitely.
• 30:27
  I wouldn't put him always in the backfield.
• 30:28
  But if you put him back there, what are they going to do?
• 30:31
  That's kind of scary. Yeah.
• 30:33
  Like twice or three times last year, they put JJ in the backfield.
• 30:36
  And it's like, whoa, whoa.
• 30:38
  You know what I mean? Like, you don't know what's going on.
• 30:39
  So they can use them in that sense or just sweeps.
• 30:42
  Yeah. I think he's excellent for that.
• 30:44
  And then next next place going deep, you know, so.
• 30:47
  Yeah, nice player to watch.
• 30:49
  So on the watch, you know, is raw like he's raw talent.
• 30:52
  He's not too fancy.
• 30:53
  He's going to run like a bland route, but he's going to get it.
• 30:57
  It doesn't matter.
• 30:58
  Like, yeah, he's going to catch the ball.
• 30:59
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 31:00
  Catch that. Yeah. Yeah.
• 31:02
  He don't drop the ball.
• 31:03
  No, he really does not.
• 31:06
  With that, Kev, that wraps our week 15 games.
• 31:09
  Let's head right into tent talk.
• 31:13
  Nine one one. What's your emergency?
• 31:24
  And to start off our injuries here, we kind of have a lot.
• 31:28
  Mahomes has a quote mild high ankle sprain.
• 31:31
  I mean, any high ankle sprain is tough, especially how he extends the play.
• 31:35
  So that's that's going to be interesting to kind of see.
• 31:39
  I wrote here injured kittens. Yeah.
• 31:43
  David Montgomery done for the season, torn MCO
• 31:47
  McNeil, Don A.C.L. talked about him.
• 31:49
  Carlton Davis out indefinitely.
• 31:50
  I saw later today that it was about six weeks with a fractured jaw.
• 31:54
  So the Lions have 18 players total on I.R. and 13 play defense.
• 32:01
  All right. Keep going. All right.
• 32:03
  Nick Chubb has a broken foot.
• 32:07
  You know, we were talking before he started recording.
• 32:09
  Maybe that should just be it.
• 32:10
  I think, I mean, it's me personally.
• 32:12
  I didn't battle through all that, man.
• 32:14
  It's more than life and football. Yeah.
• 32:16
  But, you know, a guy like him, you know, who's a stud.
• 32:21
  It's like and continues to be. Yeah.
• 32:22
  Yeah, exactly.
• 32:23
  So battle through it. But it's like, man, after this, I'll be like, yeah,
• 32:27
  I got to just worry about my health, you know, take a step back and
• 32:31
  start to enjoy life now.
• 32:32
  This is like you said, life after football. Yeah, exactly. For sure.
• 32:36
  Sam Hubbard, Bengals DN, PCL injury.
• 32:39
  He's ruled out for next week.
• 32:41
  He might return and imagine if they made a playoff run, if they lose next week,
• 32:45
  I'd imagine they would shut him down.
• 32:46
  Probably. Yeah.
• 32:47
  Trayvon digs to have surgery on his left knee.
• 32:50
  This kind of came out randomly.
• 32:52
  He's got like some weird fluid or cartilage issue going on.
• 32:55
  So apparently eight months to recover from that.
• 32:57
  So he's going to I.R.
• 32:59
  Jalen Waddle is questionable this week.
• 33:01
  He's having some issue with his knee.
• 33:03
  I couldn't find too much else on that.
• 33:05
  T.J. Watt, low ankle sprain. Yeah. He's been moving around.
• 33:09
  They're pretty confident he's going to play against Baltimore.
• 33:11
  I mean, huge game to know a game.
• 33:13
  You kind of you kind of need him for sure.
• 33:15
  So it's on Saturday this week, too. For sure.
• 33:17
  Yeah. We got a bunch of weird. Yeah.
• 33:19
  Yeah, I know. Holidays.
• 33:21
  Hopefully Netflix doesn't freak out.
• 33:23
  So nervous about those Netflix games.
• 33:26
  Just the show is Netflix. Just a stream.
• 33:29
  Streaming. Streaming.
• 33:31
  I'm so nervous about streaming.
• 33:33
  Again, not getting a sponsorship from Netflix.
• 33:36
  Gino Smith left the game with a knee injury.
• 33:38
  We mentioned him a little bit.
• 33:40
  McDonald came out and said the knee is structurally good.
• 33:43
  I mean, that's always a good sign.
• 33:45
  Sam Hall will probably be the starter if Gino can't go against the Vikes this week.
• 33:49
  I'll take that. It doesn't change my pick.
• 33:53
  Zach Ertz, Concussion Protocol, as well as Jeremy Chin for the commanders.
• 33:59
  Jeremy Chin, that's a big loss.
• 34:00
  Yeah, I think you can live without Zach Ertz, but Jeremy Chin, it just.
• 34:04
  Yeah. Yeah, that's not good.
• 34:06
  Derek Carr may be done for the season because of his hand.
• 34:10
  Shoot for New Orleans.
• 34:11
  I think they have three wins or something.
• 34:14
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 34:15
  Did they start off like foreign? Oh, yeah.
• 34:17
  They were like, yeah, no, yeah.
• 34:19
  They came out feeling themselves.
• 34:21
  Losing taste in hell is huge to them.
• 34:23
  He's a he plays every position.
• 34:25
  And they lost a lot of a definition.
• 34:27
  They lost every position.
• 34:29
  Long play quarterback. Sure.
• 34:30
  Yeah. A little bit of news here.
• 34:33
  Deontay Johnson, receiver for the Ravens, have mutually agreed
• 34:36
  to excuse the receiver from team activities after he had a one game suspension last week.
• 34:41
  I think that was a one game team suspension as well.
• 34:45
  Buder Baker. This came out like 20 minutes ago.
• 34:47
  Buder Baker, three year deal.
• 34:49
  Fifty four mil, 30 mil of that guaranteed.
• 34:52
  That's huge.
• 34:53
  With 18 being the average, you know, per year number,
• 34:57
  that's the third largest contract for an NFL safety.
• 35:00
  We were just talking last week.
• 35:01
  That's one of the only pieces Arizona has on defense.
• 35:04
  No, he's a he's a Harrison Smith.
• 35:06
  He's a Harrison. Oh, for sure.
• 35:07
  I love the way he plays. He's that dog.
• 35:09
  He's done. Yeah, I love the way he plays.
• 35:12
  Clyde Edwards Hilaire released by the Chiefs.
• 35:14
  Let's see. Odell.
• 35:16
  I was he playing for the Dolphins? Yeah, he was on the bench a lot.
• 35:20
  But yeah, I don't know if he was playing.
• 35:22
  He was watching. He was in a lot of watch.
• 35:23
  So Odell's released to try to go probably sign with another Super Bowl team
• 35:27
  to play one game, get a catch with the Super Bowl.
• 35:29
  Right. Yeah, I'm a four time Super Bowl.
• 35:32
  Right. Yeah.
• 35:34
  I think who could use him right now?
• 35:35
  Odell. Yeah.
• 35:36
  Whose receiver core is kind of banged up that he'd be a contender?
• 35:39
  I mean, the Chiefs. Yeah, I was going to say the Chiefs wouldn't be horrible.
• 35:43
  He just goes there and he just balls out.
• 35:45
  I mean, he probably would.
• 35:47
  But did the Chiefs want to attitude like him?
• 35:49
  Yeah, right.
• 35:51
  Yeah, I don't know.
• 35:52
  It'll be I don't know.
• 35:54
  Baltimore? They take no.
• 35:56
  Yeah, he was just with Baltimore.
• 35:58
  Yeah, they released him.
• 35:59
  Oh, what teams has he not released from?
• 36:02
  Comes back to the Rams.
• 36:03
  He goes back to Sean McVay.
• 36:05
  I mean, he won the Super Bowl there.
• 36:07
  That's not horrible. That wouldn't be too bad.
• 36:10
  Does Clyde Edwards Hilaire?
• 36:12
  No, I say they don't need that.
• 36:14
  I think they ever said we don't.
• 36:17
  Didn't you have an injury like a year and a half ago that he's just kind of
• 36:20
  fell off the map ever since?
• 36:21
  Yeah, he has.
• 36:22
  I think he's towards ACL again, like twice, because it was in that Rams game.
• 36:26
  You know, the Super Bowl and then at like half time.
• 36:28
  He was a late first round draft pick, early second.
• 36:31
  Yeah, because he was on Clemson.
• 36:33
  Yeah. No, LSU.
• 36:35
  That's right. Yep.
• 36:37
  But anyway, let's see.
• 36:39
  And then, of course, we have a race to the number one pick
• 36:42
  between the Giants, Raiders, Panthers and Patriots.
• 36:45
  Who wants Sador?
• 36:46
  Is that is that the bona fide number one overall pick?
• 36:50
  I think so.
• 36:51
  Like right now, we won't get super heavy.
• 36:52
  Yeah, we'll get into it this off season.
• 36:54
  If I go Giants and Raiders for sure, Panthers, no, Patriots, no.
• 36:58
  Yeah. So then either Sador and then or Kim Ward is probably one in two.
• 37:03
  Right. It's kind of how I'm looking at it, especially if the Giants
• 37:06
  and Raiders are there.
• 37:07
  And I think both teams would either. Yeah.
• 37:09
  Pick either or. Right. I'd definitely agree, too.
• 37:13
  So there's no other player you think that would go to or something instead of.
• 37:17
  I mean, there's that Carter out of Penn State that it looks real nice.
• 37:21
  And he's like the next Mike Parsons.
• 37:22
  He wears 11 and everything like that. Yeah.
• 37:26
  Trying to think who the other probably the fourth guy is.
• 37:29
  Travis Hunter got to be right there.
• 37:30
  Travis Hunter is up there.
• 37:32
  You know, it's whether he's a receiver or cornerback, you know,
• 37:35
  that's probably what teams are waiting.
• 37:36
  There's not a ton of rumors yet where he'll go.
• 37:39
  So and most people are talking that like me, Patrick Peterson
• 37:41
  or some other DBS are coming out and they say DBS, the spot where you should go.
• 37:46
  And then they'll throw them on packages on the offensive side.
• 37:48
  Yeah, for sure. Just like Deon did.
• 37:50
  Yeah, you might as well. It's just going to be a Deon.
• 37:52
  Why not?
• 37:53
  Exactly. They'll be playing 80 percent of all snaps or whatever.
• 37:56
  But yeah, at the NFL level.
• 37:58
  But yeah, you might as well throw them in or let them.
• 38:00
  No, I wouldn't even let them return a kick. That's too dangerous.
• 38:02
  I would I would make like a a package for him.
• 38:05
  Yeah, I think Kipers got him going to New England right now.
• 38:08
  That's not a bad.
• 38:09
  As a receiver, then? No.
• 38:12
  Well, I would I would.
• 38:13
  You think you should go DB?
• 38:15
  I personally think. Over receiver.
• 38:16
  Yeah. I mean, his his build is
• 38:20
  it's screaming defensive back, you know, I mean, like
• 38:24
  it's just got to really like weigh out your options, you know.
• 38:28
  I mean, like kind of like with the pump return.
• 38:30
  I mean, we got the gene return punts for Philly.
• 38:33
  I mean, and he starts. So it's like that's true.
• 38:36
  That's true. Yeah.
• 38:37
  It just makes me nervous.
• 38:38
  Yeah, I never do it in Madden because he always gets injured.
• 38:42
  Yeah. You know what I mean?
• 38:43
  So it's never my number one receiver.
• 38:45
  No, definitely. Yeah, definitely.
• 38:48
  But I feel like as far as Hunter, I mean, he can come in the league
• 38:52
  and make more of an impact playing DB. OK, fair enough.
• 38:55
  But it's also you're on the other side.
• 38:56
  You think you should go receive more for longevity?
• 38:58
  I just feel about longevity wise.
• 39:00
  I mean, yeah, for sure.
• 39:01
  Yeah, this body beat up and things like that. And I mean, just from what I saw,
• 39:04
  I guess I haven't watched enough defensive snaps and I need to maybe do that
• 39:07
  after the pod, you know, and catch a couple more.
• 39:09
  I mean, he's been winner now.
• 39:11
  He's been winner. Yeah, he's been.
• 39:13
  Yeah. And the more that we explain about it, that's definitely like you said,
• 39:16
  the definition of a Heisman winner is athlete, you know, play both sides.
• 39:20
  80 percent. It's tough. Yeah, that's a lot.
• 39:22
  And at a high level, too.
• 39:23
  You know what I'm saying?
• 39:24
  Getting two interceptions and still going on the other side.
• 39:27
  Come on, that's not. Yeah, it's not.
• 39:30
  It's not. It's definitely not. Congratulations, Travis.
• 39:32
  Yeah, good. Yeah. Congrats.
• 39:35
  With that, Kev, let's head into our bonehead move of the week.
• 39:49
  All right. All right.
• 39:50
  Of course, our bonehead move of the week.
• 39:52
  But before we get to it, I, of course, have always those couple
• 39:55
  honorable mentions.
• 39:56
  Who's he going to be? Now, this is kind of old.
• 39:58
  I didn't see I should have looked this up. Classic. Never do.
• 40:03
  But this was kind of old.
• 40:05
  Did you ever see the thing about Rashi Rice's mom
• 40:08
  stealing a package from some? Oh, yeah, I did. Yeah.
• 40:12
  While wearing Rice's jersey and it says and it says
• 40:16
  this is just say she's mama.
• 40:18
  Rice is my mom or something right there with his number.
• 40:22
  And she like kicks it out the way of the camera.
• 40:24
  And then the camera like follows her.
• 40:25
  She thought she kicked it all the way out the way and bends down.
• 40:27
  And you know what I mean? I'm not trying to put any.
• 40:29
  But I'm not trying to make fun of nobody. But come on.
• 40:32
  She wants that. That was like one of those old.
• 40:34
  What is it? Monday night that they used to do.
• 40:36
  Come on, man. Or middle of the. Oh, yeah.
• 40:38
  Oh, yeah. Come on.
• 40:40
  Monday night. Yeah.
• 40:42
  Anyway, I don't want to spend too much time on that.
• 40:44
  Another honorable mention that kind of bugged me a little bit.
• 40:47
  Chase Brown jumping into the Salvation Army.
• 40:50
  Ben Ben.
• 40:51
  You know, Zeke used to do it all the time. Right. Yeah. So.
• 40:54
  He got fined and he said, you know, I don't I don't quote.
• 40:59
  I don't make enough for this.
• 41:02
  So my thing is, is.
• 41:04
  A, did you not know about the fine?
• 41:07
  You know what I mean?
• 41:08
  What was the fine for? For jumping into the bin?
• 41:10
  You can't do that.
• 41:11
  Is that like using a prop? Yes. OK. Yeah. Correct.
• 41:14
  So it's like five grand or whatever. Right. Yeah.
• 41:16
  I mean, I don't. I don't.
• 41:17
  Go.
• 41:20
  He got. My thing is, is Zeke's been doing it forever.
• 41:24
  Yeah. They've also been fined.
• 41:26
  So my thing is, is like, I don't know.
• 41:28
  Is this is it dumb for me to like not blame the coaching staff?
• 41:31
  Like somebody tell the team as a whole, like, hey, we're going to Dallas.
• 41:36
  Don't jump in the Salvation Army pod if you score a touchdown, you know?
• 41:40
  Or and he also got unsportsmanlike for it.
• 41:42
  You know what I mean? Yeah. So I don't know.
• 41:44
  I thought that was interesting.
• 41:45
  You know, him coming out and saying like, oh, you know, but.
• 41:48
  I'm the opposite way. I'm like jumping that thing.
• 41:50
  Because he does.
• 41:51
  It puts eyes on the Salvation Army.
• 41:53
  For sure. The whole point of that being there.
• 41:55
  And then you got people that, you know, think that's disrespectful to jump
• 41:58
  into the thing. It's like, oh, my God.
• 42:00
  I've never viewed it that way when Zeke did it.
• 42:02
  I always thought it was hilarious.
• 42:04
  Yeah, it's just like.
• 42:04
  He really didn't get to do his full celebration.
• 42:06
  If you watch the video, they didn't even call it a touchdown until the end.
• 42:09
  Like he jumped in there and then they were like they called it no touchdown.
• 42:13
  And then he jumped out and then they're like touchdown.
• 42:15
  He didn't really get to do his real celebration.
• 42:17
  But so I wonder what's the total amount Zeke was getting?
• 42:20
  If he jumped in that that many times, five thousand.
• 42:22
  And in Dallas, who knows?
• 42:24
  I don't know. I don't know.
• 42:26
  That was his old kind of.
• 42:27
  Is Jerry Jones paying for that? You know, those fines?
• 42:30
  Right.
• 42:30
  Ah, just so that's me. I got it.
• 42:31
  Yeah.
• 42:33
  I think Zeke's paycheck was a little different than James Brown's.
• 42:35
  Yeah, that was a little different.
• 42:36
  Oh, it was. No, for sure it was. For sure it was.
• 42:39
  But the real bonehead, we've already said his name tonight, Davondre Campbell,
• 42:43
  refusing to play.
• 42:45
  Now, you know, as I made him bonehead, I was like 50 50 on it
• 42:50
  because the more I looked into it, you know, he started 12
• 42:54
  of the 13 games or whatever, while Dre Greenlaw, who got injured
• 42:56
  in the Super Bowl, you know, was rehabbing.
• 42:59
  So he was starting next to this two year man.
• 43:02
  What's the two year guy named D Winters?
• 43:05
  Devon, Dre Campbell comes back and they essentially start D Winters over
• 43:09
  Devon, Dre Campbell. You know what I mean?
• 43:10
  So I can't remember.
• 43:12
  I think D Winters went down first or something like that.
• 43:15
  No, I'm sorry.
• 43:16
  I think Dre Greenlaw went down in this game.
• 43:18
  Yeah, they asked.
• 43:19
  They asked Campbell to come in and he was like, you know, no, I'm not coming in.
• 43:23
  So some guy named Demetrius Flanagan Fowles
• 43:27
  like actually he replaced Winters.
• 43:29
  So they asked him to come in. No.
• 43:30
  So then D Winters went down.
• 43:32
  So then they come in again in the third quarter and he refused to play again.
• 43:36
  So that's when what's his name? John Lynch. Yeah. Yeah.
• 43:41
  All the coach, brother.
• 43:42
  They came from Lynch, actually.
• 43:44
  Comforts afterwards.
• 43:45
  No, during the game, Lynch told him to.
• 43:48
  OK. Like I need to be removed from the field type of deal.
• 43:51
  Like, I don't know what the exact wording was. Right. Yeah.
• 43:54
  And now today or yesterday, whatever came out that the team
• 43:57
  is suspending him for three games and today is lockers completely empty.
• 44:01
  He's so is he's done it for NFL career?
• 44:04
  Like who wants him in a locker room?
• 44:06
  I don't think he's done.
• 44:08
  He's definitely got to go get a self evaluation.
• 44:11
  Yeah, no, they're going to they're going to have him.
• 44:13
  Talk to a therapist or something.
• 44:15
  You got to go figure yourself out.
• 44:16
  You can't just be can't do that.
• 44:18
  They just they were just almost a Super Bowl contender.
• 44:20
  They were in the Super Bowl last year.
• 44:21
  Super Bowl coming in this season.
• 44:23
  Last year, they were in the Super Bowl.
• 44:24
  This year, their Super Bowl contender, Kyle Shannon,
• 44:26
  is not going to be dealing with that kind of guy.
• 44:28
  And you could tell George Kittle was his George was pissed.
• 44:32
  George was pissed.
• 44:33
  De'amador Lenore came out and said, for that quote, for that to happen
• 44:37
  this for me, it's been for that to happen.
• 44:39
  And him to do that, I just lost all respect.
• 44:41
  I'm a person that's going 110 percent every play.
• 44:44
  If I am hurt and the guy behind me is not backing me up
• 44:46
  and can't come in or don't want to go in, I just feel like he's a cancer
• 44:49
  to the team, which I mean, it's it's totally like that.
• 44:55
  Nick Bosa said, you know, quotes NFL in general also quote,
• 44:58
  I'm sure he's going to have a hard time finding somewhere else to go
• 45:01
  when you act like that.
• 45:02
  I mean, totally. I mean, yeah, that's the truth.
• 45:04
  But it's like I felt like from his perspective, it's more so like
• 45:09
  he felt he felt like it.
• 45:11
  It was I felt like it's a loyalty thing.
• 45:13
  Like you start a guy 12 games soon as a guy gets back from recovery.
• 45:17
  Boom, you just pop him in.
• 45:18
  You don't even work him in.
• 45:19
  Yeah. I mean, you're just like, oh, you're not starting.
• 45:21
  I mean, it's Dre Greenlaw. No.
• 45:23
  You know what I mean? Yeah, definitely can.
• 45:25
  But why did the winners then get the start over him?
• 45:28
  Or is he just that much better, though?
• 45:30
  You know what I mean?
• 45:30
  That's the case.
• 45:31
  De'Andre Campbell really the third option, you know, but you started
• 45:35
  and became second game. Yeah.
• 45:38
  I don't know. Is that a situation? Yeah.
• 45:40
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 45:43
  Yeah. And like.
• 45:45
  Is there more to that, though, than just of Andre Campbell's?
• 45:47
  I think it's more it has to be more situation.
• 45:50
  Is that why the whole morale seems down?
• 45:53
  There's other things going on.
• 45:54
  Yeah, I feel like it started.
• 45:55
  I mean, starting the season, Christian McCaffrey,
• 45:57
  you thought he was going to come back a week for week six, week seven.
• 46:00
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 46:01
  And then they had all those holdouts to start the season.
• 46:03
  So it was kind of started off on a whole rocky.
• 46:05
  They never had their full squad, you know, in the beginning, like, all right, guys,
• 46:09
  this is our window to make a Super Bowl run.
• 46:11
  Right. Because I think after this year.
• 46:13
  Yeah. Oh, there's a trouble.
• 46:15
  This was a year to to make another run.
• 46:17
  So, yeah.
• 46:18
  Then after that beginning, it's been the wrong direction the whole time.
• 46:23
  100 percent unreal with that, Kev.
• 46:25
  That was our bonehead move of the week.
• 46:45
  And with that, we are into our week 16 preview and picks.
• 46:51
  I did just want to cover the current standings.
• 46:53
  Just a little tidbit.
• 46:55
  Oofta Jake has gone back to back weeks at four and one.
• 47:00
  That's pretty impressive.
• 47:01
  Good work, Jacob.
• 47:02
  That is a skyrocketed skyrocketed him to second place overall,
• 47:07
  again, based on season one percentage.
• 47:09
  So good for you, Jake. Awesome. Good stuff.
• 47:12
  He took no, he's in second.
• 47:15
  Dan's been in first for a minute.
• 47:17
  You know, Dan, you know, Dan, you know, Dan's got a record.
• 47:20
  Daniel, Daniel, Daniel.
• 47:22
  Dan's looking at a twenty one and nine record right now.
• 47:26
  He went three and two last week, so that was an opportunity for us to catch up.
• 47:29
  But everybody, as you see, dang near went three and two.
• 47:32
  Yeah. So it was actually a game, you know, they're all very.
• 47:36
  Other than that box game, they're all competitive.
• 47:39
  Well, it was the Bucks Chargers game and the Rams Niners game
• 47:41
  that caught everybody up.
• 47:43
  Everybody almost had the first three games picked the exact same.
• 47:46
  And then those games are just such a wash.
• 47:49
  And we literally split in the middle. It was crazy. It was crazy.
• 47:52
  But so Dan in first right now, if you look on the right side there, Jake,
• 47:56
  taking second place, Tyler, not me, our Packer fan taking third right now.
• 48:01
  Rachel dropped a couple spots to fourth, but she's still holding strong.
• 48:05
  That girl, right?
• 48:05
  Trey dropped a spot to for to fifth. I'm sorry.
• 48:10
  Ben chilling right there at sixth.
• 48:11
  Rob gained a spot, moved up seventh by himself.
• 48:14
  No, no tie. No.
• 48:16
  Hey, Matt jumped two spots in eighth now.
• 48:19
  Smelsey dropped a spot moving on.
• 48:21
  Graham Graham jumped a spot as well.
• 48:24
  And Dom also jumped a spot at the moment.
• 48:26
  Yeah. Oh, yeah.
• 48:29
  You see Cody down there.
• 48:31
  Cody didn't get give me his picks two weeks in a row, so he can't count.
• 48:34
  But he got me his picks this week.
• 48:36
  Cody's going to be right back in there.
• 48:37
  You're back, Cody. And if you back and if you look, he has a 700 win percentage.
• 48:41
  So right now he'd be up there with Dan.
• 48:43
  Oh, man. I mean, that's good.
• 48:44
  You're back. So, Dom, that would mean you'd be in 12.
• 48:46
  But and D'Angelo just doesn't qualify yet.
• 48:50
  He doesn't have 10 games played. So what you need is him to go away.
• 48:53
  Oh, and five this week.
• 48:55
  I don't think that's happening.
• 48:57
  I know. If he keeps picking the lions, we'll see him seven.
• 49:01
  Oh, shots.
• 49:04
  Oh, man. With that, our first game of the week.
• 49:08
  Minnesota traveling to Seattle.
• 49:12
  Rob. Oh, scuttle the ball, baby, on this one.
• 49:15
  Obviously, Seattle is a very difficult place for us to play.
• 49:18
  But historically, we do not play well against the 12th fan, I guess, or man
• 49:23
  or whatever you want to call it.
• 49:24
  But you know, maybe.
• 49:25
  But you know, maybe it's real nice with also Walker being out.
• 49:28
  I know. Charbonnet. Charbonnet.
• 49:33
  Has been looking nice at J.A.
• 49:35
  J.A. and as you know, it's been lighting it up in the slot.
• 49:39
  So they could give us a little difficulty on their receiver set wise.
• 49:42
  But with that was J.S.N.
• 49:45
  I was like doing the math with the letters.
• 49:47
  Yeah. I was like, wait a minute, Smith and Egman.
• 49:51
  So so scuttle the ball.
• 49:52
  Yeah, I think, you know, if we can just get up early on them,
• 49:57
  I think especially if Sam Howell is there as their starter,
• 50:00
  I think that'll give us a good opportunity for us,
• 50:03
  especially that defense and a lot of looks of the B flow.
• 50:06
  I don't know how we're going to handle all those types of looks.
• 50:09
  So and we're pretty healthy.
• 50:12
  Yeah. So on that aspect.
• 50:14
  Yeah. So yeah, I think we're I think we're
• 50:16
  if we get up early, I think we could pull away.
• 50:18
  Otherwise, if they can keep it close in that band, that place gets loud.
• 50:22
  You know, so I don't want to play within a one score game
• 50:26
  against them going into the fourth quarter. Absolutely.
• 50:28
  What if Sam Howell lights us up and then he's a Minnesota Viking next year?
• 50:32
  Anyway, she's every quarterback.
• 50:36
  I'm going Vikings, whatever.
• 50:38
  So, you know what I mean? Scuttle the ball.
• 50:39
  We already know we're making a run for that one seat.
• 50:42
  Oh, yes. And we're going to go and what's up.
• 50:44
  Scuttle the ball.
• 50:44
  I mean, we're going to keep the cork on Chardonnay this week, unfortunately.
• 50:47
  But that's just how I feel.
• 50:49
  I mean, they got a good team.
• 50:51
  But without Geno Smith, that's going to be a tough game for the Seahawks against us.
• 50:55
  I mean, Mattel is going to be all over all over them.
• 50:58
  I mean, that's how I feel. B flows. Did you see?
• 51:00
  Well, no, you were at the game.
• 51:01
  They put up the thing on the broadcast, all the positions he's played.
• 51:05
  He's played. Yeah, he's a stud.
• 51:09
  He's he's a good he's a good second for twice.
• 51:13
  With Harris Smith on the way out.
• 51:14
  It's good to have Mattel's there, you know, for sure,
• 51:16
  because he just replicates what Harrison Smith did for so many seasons for us.
• 51:21
  So, yes, go the ball.
• 51:22
  As long as he's not flipping his hips the wrong way.
• 51:24
  Yeah. We still remember that.
• 51:26
  Who we got. Yeah.
• 51:27
  Oh, I'm a I'm a lean towards Minnesota for sure.
• 51:30
  Of course. Seattle's beat up at the quarterback position.
• 51:33
  That's going to be tough.
• 51:34
  I mean, you throw how in there with the vikes.
• 51:38
  Throwing them into the floor has fight.
• 51:39
  Yeah, I'm not expecting much out of out of them as far as that.
• 51:44
  I mean, if Gino plays, does it change it at all for you?
• 51:46
  Not for sure.
• 51:47
  It's going to be closer than I mean, I still I'm going to head it off to
• 51:52
  the vikes because, you know, they're in sync right now.
• 51:54
  Well, yes. Yeah.
• 51:57
  He's so he's trying to get you.
• 51:59
  I'm just kidding.
• 52:00
  He almost got instead.
• 52:03
  He's like, for sure.
• 52:04
  But, yeah, no, I definitely tip it off to the vikes.
• 52:07
  I mean, you got too many weapons on offense for the Seahawks defense.
• 52:11
  Nobody's going to cover J.J. and one on one coverage.
• 52:14
  Addison even or Hawk, you know, I mean, Hawk's been
• 52:17
  he's been out sending for the Vikings lately.
• 52:20
  I mean, they missed a lot when he was gone.
• 52:22
  But, yeah, I'm definitely going to tip my hats to the Vikings.
• 52:26
  For sure. For sure.
• 52:27
  No doubt. Skull, baby. Skull.
• 52:30
  All the picks I have so far, I might have even just got my final picks in here.
• 52:34
  And let me just real quick takes two seconds.
• 52:36
  Who took the Seahawks?
• 52:37
  Yeah, so everybody took Minnesota.
• 52:39
  All right. Everyone's on the train.
• 52:41
  I like it. The next game, New Orleans traveling to Green Bay.
• 52:44
  We don't need to spend a lot of time on this.
• 52:46
  Everybody is taking Green Bay.
• 52:48
  I'm included. DeAngelo, who do you have in this game?
• 52:51
  For sure. Green Bay.
• 52:53
  Just not even. Not even.
• 52:55
  Rob, thinking about it.
• 52:57
  No, I mean, I was trying to think.
• 53:00
  I was like, how bad it's going to be.
• 53:02
  I mean, and some Monday night game soon.
• 53:03
  Yeah. Yeah, I really wish they'd flex this thing out of there somewhere else.
• 53:07
  If they didn't like just draw in Rattler, then who's the other guy?
• 53:15
  Starts with an H.
• 53:16
  Yeah, I just.
• 53:18
  It's not. Not.
• 53:19
  Either way. Yeah.
• 53:21
  All right. Yeah.
• 53:22
  The fact that we're taking out.
• 53:23
  Yeah. I mean, other than Kamara.
• 53:25
  Other than Kamara on offense. Yeah.
• 53:27
  That guy. Yeah.
• 53:29
  That guy. That guy. Yeah.
• 53:30
  I mean, there's not much left on the plate over there.
• 53:32
  Their defense still has got a couple of guys, you know, but
• 53:35
  it's time to rebuild.
• 53:37
  Yeah. Yeah. And it's going to be called.
• 53:39
  I don't think the Saints are already.
• 53:40
  So they're.
• 53:43
  So they're willing to try to upset the Green Bay Packers season.
• 53:47
  No, that'd be great for us, but I don't.
• 53:49
  This is not going to happen.
• 53:50
  Everybody here at Banter has taken the Packers.
• 53:53
  So moving on to the third game, Denver Broncos traveling to the L.A.
• 53:58
  Chargers so far.
• 54:00
  Jake and Matt have taken the Broncos and everyone else has taken
• 54:05
  the Chargers. Really interesting.
• 54:07
  That's interesting.
• 54:08
  Let's see. I think I started the Packers.
• 54:10
  That one doesn't count. So I'll start this one.
• 54:12
  I'm taking the Broncos over the Chargers. Over your team. Yep.
• 54:16
  It's the first time I've picked against any of my teams this year, by the way.
• 54:18
  Just so you know.
• 54:19
  But again, that that game, that last game, it's just I mean,
• 54:24
  this will be a good preview against a playoff team in Denver.
• 54:27
  But I just I don't think it's going to go well for the Chargers at all.
• 54:30
  I think Bo Nix is playing well right now.
• 54:33
  Again, there's no there's just no rhythm to that offense for me.
• 54:38
  And I mean, at least they're in L.A., I guess.
• 54:41
  But it's not that far from Denver.
• 54:43
  So I think it's I don't know. I say Denver.
• 54:46
  I think it'll be a somewhat good game.
• 54:48
  But I say Denver probably by two scores, to be honest.
• 54:50
  Two scores. I mean, I'm generally going on that path, too.
• 54:54
  I think Denver is playing pretty good ball right now.
• 54:56
  On defensively, they've they've kind of they've competed.
• 55:00
  Like you said, the Chargers have no running game,
• 55:02
  and I don't think they're going to be able to last long enough for four quarters
• 55:05
  with not being able to stop running unless something changes.
• 55:09
  Yeah. I mean, they can have a great game.
• 55:11
  Berkin, the Conkley's been playing well, like you're saying.
• 55:14
  I mean, they are.
• 55:15
  Oh, they what?
• 55:15
  Twenty three plays in the second half against the Bucks.
• 55:18
  You know, it's not enough.
• 55:19
  I just don't think there's that sealed their season for me personally.
• 55:22
  The Chargers. Yeah, that's just that was against the playoff team, too.
• 55:25
  And that's just not. Yeah. Yeah.
• 55:27
  Don't get me started. Yeah.
• 55:29
  So you're you're going Broncos here. Broncos. OK.
• 55:32
  Dom, what we got. Yeah.
• 55:33
  I mean, I'm going to go to the Broncos, too. I like Bo Nicks.
• 55:36
  He was getting a lot of flack coming in this season.
• 55:38
  A lot of flack.
• 55:40
  They were saying, you know, I think he was like the number four ranked
• 55:43
  coming for like preseason, like out of the rookie corebacks.
• 55:46
  Or five, six. Yeah.
• 55:47
  He wasn't he wasn't in the top, you know, one or two.
• 55:51
  I feel like he's number two right behind Jaden Daniels.
• 55:53
  You know, that's just how I feel this season.
• 55:55
  Out of the current rookie class. Yeah, yeah.
• 55:57
  I agree. Yeah, I agree.
• 55:58
  I say he's number two.
• 55:59
  You know what I'm saying? Just how he's playing, putting his team
• 56:02
  in the matter to go to the playoffs.
• 56:03
  Caleb Williams not doing that.
• 56:04
  No, I understand.
• 56:06
  It's a little bit different situation over there.
• 56:08
  But at the same time, you got to step up and play a quarterback.
• 56:10
  Exactly. You know what I'm saying?
• 56:11
  So I mean, I'm going to go with the Broncos this week.
• 56:12
  Bo Nicks is looking like a good quarterback.
• 56:15
  So, yeah, yeah.
• 56:17
  He's got to prove everyone wrong because they were honestly in Oregon.
• 56:19
  He's like, oh, he throws a short bubble screens, you know,
• 56:22
  and that's all he throws.
• 56:23
  Everything's, you know, not even the cannon.
• 56:25
  Yeah, you know, he definitely can.
• 56:27
  You know, he's been bouncing around from top end schools
• 56:30
  throughout the nation at college.
• 56:31
  So obviously everybody wants him.
• 56:33
  You know, what was he before Ole Miss?
• 56:35
  Was he down in not Clemson or Georgia or somewhere?
• 56:38
  He's an Auburn Auburn Auburn.
• 56:40
  Yeah, Auburn.
• 56:41
  No, but yeah, D'Angelo Denver at the Chargers here.
• 56:45
  Oh, I'm going with Denver.
• 56:47
  Yeah, I'm liking Bo Nicks lately.
• 56:49
  He's he's been shown out a lot.
• 56:51
  I mean, he's been opening a lot of people's eyes considering,
• 56:55
  you know, the beginning of the season, they were they weren't doing much.
• 56:59
  But yeah, since they put all their trust into Nicks,
• 57:04
  I feel like he's been backing it up.
• 57:06
  So it's like, I mean, their defense, like Rob said,
• 57:09
  he they've they've been playing pretty good.
• 57:12
  And, you know, the Chargers, they're kind of in shambles right now.
• 57:14
  So, I mean, Herbert, he can still go off, but I feel like they can still lose.
• 57:18
  That's what I mean.
• 57:19
  I mean, they're an eight win team, but it's like they're an eight win.
• 57:22
  Yeah, it's not like a solid.
• 57:24
  Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
• 57:25
  So I mean, what if they get up by two touchdowns?
• 57:27
  What do they do? Continue throwing the ball.
• 57:29
  They can't run the ball. Yeah.
• 57:30
  Is that the Chargers? Yeah.
• 57:32
  I good question.
• 57:34
  We'll find out. Well, never been the lead.
• 57:36
  I won't. I want my pick to be wrong on that one.
• 57:39
  OK, all right.
• 57:40
  I'll go with the Saints Packers game.
• 57:42
  I want to be wrong.
• 57:44
  Perfect.
• 57:47
  Sounds like a deal.
• 57:48
  Anyway, Steelers traveling to the Ravens.
• 57:51
  I mean, this is a big game.
• 57:53
  Game of the week.
• 57:53
  Oh, the division.
• 57:55
  I don't think the division's on the line this game, but it's definitely a factor.
• 57:59
  It's a lot of pride on the line.
• 58:00
  You know, yeah.
• 58:01
  But you still want to win the division instead of being that fifth
• 58:03
  seed in the play out, you know, so it's it's a big game.
• 58:07
  I can't believe Jacob picked the Steelers.
• 58:09
  Jake picked the Ravens, by the way.
• 58:12
  Matt right now is the only one to pick the Steelers at the moment.
• 58:15
  And Ravens at home, by the way.
• 58:19
  Oh, I could pull up.
• 58:20
  They played earlier this year, didn't they?
• 58:21
  Yeah. Yep. Yep. For sure.
• 58:22
  Still a snuck away.
• 58:24
  For sure. I go away on it.
• 58:25
  D'Angelo, who do we got?
• 58:28
  I was kind of iffy in between this game.
• 58:29
  This one is like next two games will be tougher.
• 58:32
  Yeah, it's like, man, every time I put my faith in Lamar sometimes,
• 58:36
  it's like he just when's he going to flip the script, though?
• 58:40
  This week, I take that back.
• 58:42
  It has not been Lamar.
• 58:43
  It's been a Ravens defense.
• 58:44
  They can't hold it together like they give away those little plays.
• 58:48
  You know, you can these 15 yard penalties.
• 58:50
  You know, a lot of penalties.
• 58:51
  Yes, a lot of penalties.
• 58:53
  So let me let me give you the injuries.
• 58:55
  Aguilar's questionable.
• 58:57
  Ardarius Smith, questionable safety.
• 58:59
  Jalen Armour Davis, corners questionable
• 59:03
  safety. Last name Kane.
• 59:05
  I'm not going to pronounce his first name. I'll butcher it.
• 59:07
  Addisa Isaac, linebacker questionable.
• 59:11
  Hmm. A little beat up.
• 59:12
  Yeah. Oh, everyone's beat up.
• 59:14
  Yeah. Other than the Vikings.
• 59:16
  Let me just check.
• 59:17
  Let me just check the Steelers for you real quick, and we'll get your official.
• 59:20
  OK. Official official.
• 59:21
  Justin Fields. Yeah. T.J.
• 59:22
  Watt, questionable. We know that Dante Jackson corner.
• 59:25
  He's questionable. George picks it.
• 59:27
  George Pickens is still questionable.
• 59:29
  Non participant today.
• 59:32
  What's going on with that?
• 59:33
  I'm not sure. Yeah.
• 59:33
  His hamstring, it's a hamstring.
• 59:36
  He was jumping around, though.
• 59:37
  I was like, oh, but maybe he re aggravated, though.
• 59:39
  You know what I mean?
• 59:40
  He would strike me as a type that would be excited to give back.
• 59:43
  Yeah. Field and then re aggravate.
• 59:44
  Be like, yeah, he's a little bummer.
• 59:48
  I mean, that's tough if they don't have him or T.J.
• 59:51
  Yeah, I'm going Ravens all the way.
• 59:54
  That's like I feel like we can't flip it.
• 59:56
  No, no, no. OK. Right now.
• 59:58
  Well, if there is, you know, you need to make sure you flip it.
• 1:00:02
  Middle of the week. No, but I definitely.
• 1:00:05
  OK, I'll go with the Raiders because I mean, what?
• 1:00:09
  Dude, he's a stud.
• 1:00:10
  We all know that.
• 1:00:11
  Like if he's playing against any team, you always got to,
• 1:00:14
  you know, build your scheme around him.
• 1:00:16
  So it's like if he plays, that's a different story.
• 1:00:18
  You see what happened last game when they played the Ravens.
• 1:00:20
  So it's like if he's out.
• 1:00:22
  Yeah. Ravens Ravens should at least went by a teddy.
• 1:00:25
  I mean, I feel like the Steelers showed me a lot last week against Philly.
• 1:00:29
  I was honestly expecting that game to be closer.
• 1:00:32
  But once again, Najee Harris, you don't show up.
• 1:00:35
  You're fumbling the ball 30 yard line.
• 1:00:38
  So it's like, man, come on, dog.
• 1:00:39
  I personally, after this season, I think I might drift away from Najee.
• 1:00:44
  Oh, I mean, there's like you can't tell me that, you know,
• 1:00:50
  you got Jalen coming in, doing pretty much the same stuff.
• 1:00:52
  You know, not better.
• 1:00:53
  He's a scat man.
• 1:00:54
  And he's like, Najee's not looking up to par.
• 1:00:57
  Like you're not you're not looking fast.
• 1:00:59
  You're not looking confident.
• 1:01:01
  He just needs to be that that number two back that comes in
• 1:01:04
  maybe on like third and goal from the one. Yeah, for sure.
• 1:01:07
  Yeah, somebody to buy. Yeah, I mean, granted.
• 1:01:09
  But it's like, man, I would I honestly would be fishing around the market
• 1:01:13
  for another stud back because it's like he's not he's not doing it, dude.
• 1:01:17
  There's no way. Yeah.
• 1:01:19
  No, I was just going to say it again this year with the performance of Saquon
• 1:01:23
  and Derrick Henry and, you know, I get at the college level of gente.
• 1:01:26
  You know, just showing you the value of the running back. Exactly.
• 1:01:29
  They're running back. Yeah.
• 1:01:30
  You still need it. Yes, you do.
• 1:01:32
  No, definitely. Pass heavy game.
• 1:01:34
  Not even the league, a pass heavy game.
• 1:01:36
  You know, you're still seeing that the running game needs to come back.
• 1:01:39
  Exactly. And it's like Warren, you're you're passing the ball to him, too.
• 1:01:43
  And it's like, yeah, it's like, not you, man.
• 1:01:45
  I don't know, dude. He's it's like I was a huge fan.
• 1:01:48
  You know, when he was at Alabama, he came out.
• 1:01:51
  Everybody. Yeah. I mean, but like you couldn't do with the stuff.
• 1:01:54
  Like, you know, you can shake it.
• 1:01:56
  But it's like lately, he's been just he's just not up to par for me.
• 1:02:01
  As far as like if I'm telling, I'm like, I mean, dude,
• 1:02:04
  that was that fumble changed the whole momentum of the game.
• 1:02:08
  They were driving down.
• 1:02:09
  What was it? 1320.
• 1:02:11
  It would have been a tight game if they would have scored.
• 1:02:14
  And then after that, you don't get no more points.
• 1:02:16
  What was that like his first fumble, though, in like a couple of years?
• 1:02:19
  What? I don't know about that.
• 1:02:22
  I felt like I heard that, but I may be wrong.
• 1:02:24
  I'm not sure. Yeah, I don't.
• 1:02:26
  I think he honestly fumbled earlier this season, if I'm not mistaken.
• 1:02:29
  You may be right. You could. Yeah.
• 1:02:31
  I do. I thought I heard that for a second that I was like,
• 1:02:34
  what in a year can be true?
• 1:02:36
  What's that? Is it true?
• 1:02:38
  What? When did this when did this get wrote? Written? Wrote?
• 1:02:44
  Najee Harris loses first career fumble after 392.
• 1:02:47
  You touch it. Wow.
• 1:02:49
  That's intense. That can't be.
• 1:02:51
  No, it's that.
• 1:02:53
  I was right. Once again, I have to come on.
• 1:02:56
  Come on now.
• 1:02:57
  That's why I'm going to not hear and the Steelers in this game against Raven.
• 1:03:01
  And I think they will establish a game against the Ravens defense.
• 1:03:05
  And I really want T.J. Watt to be back because I think definitely he
• 1:03:10
  if he's back, I think they win.
• 1:03:13
  I think they're going to win anyways, but I have to pick them.
• 1:03:15
  But T.J. Watch just because that Ravens right side of the line
• 1:03:18
  has been struggling all year.
• 1:03:20
  Yeah, that Dan Flour, the left tackle, right tackle, right guard.
• 1:03:25
  Because they lost three starters.
• 1:03:26
  We talked about that earlier in the year.
• 1:03:28
  And that's kind of been their kill is heal a little bit right now.
• 1:03:33
  You get a little pressure on Lamar and Steelers play attacking.
• 1:03:36
  You know, they do.
• 1:03:37
  My common is put that style defenses.
• 1:03:40
  I mean, that's why they beat the Ravens earlier this year.
• 1:03:42
  No, for sure. So I'm going Steelers on Steelers.
• 1:03:45
  Even without one.
• 1:03:47
  He's questionable. He's just questionable.
• 1:03:48
  Oh, they still got me.
• 1:03:50
  I feel like if Watt doesn't play, they're going to pound the ball.
• 1:03:53
  I want my guy on. He'll play.
• 1:03:55
  It's a big game. Yeah.
• 1:03:57
  I don't know. But I don't know.
• 1:03:58
  He's tough. I'd rather have him for the playoffs.
• 1:04:00
  Oh, for sure. Which like what was it?
• 1:04:02
  Was it last year he went down for the season or the two years ago?
• 1:04:05
  And they went to the playoffs and they were T.J. Wattless. Yeah.
• 1:04:08
  So that's a major change.
• 1:04:11
  So it's like you got to think about that a little bit.
• 1:04:13
  Yeah. Would you rather?
• 1:04:15
  Dom, who we got?
• 1:04:18
  Dunno. Dunno.
• 1:04:19
  All right, Rob, let's try to get this one.
• 1:04:21
  Yeah, buddy.
• 1:04:22
  Terrible times, terrible times.
• 1:04:24
  This is the wrong terrible tile.
• 1:04:25
  This is the Vikings top of terrible tiles this week.
• 1:04:28
  I think Najee Harris is going to have a bounce back week.
• 1:04:30
  I've seen it time and time again with the Vikes.
• 1:04:32
  Aaron Jones had a couple of fumbles here and there.
• 1:04:36
  Just got to put that rock in your rock in the upper chest all week
• 1:04:40
  and walk around with it like a baby.
• 1:04:42
  Yeah. You know, get back to the old days.
• 1:04:45
  Simplicity back to basics.
• 1:04:47
  I can see it high and tight.
• 1:04:49
  He's shuffle touchdown this week. So
• 1:04:52
  and hopefully George Pickens comes back.
• 1:04:55
  I mean, I'm hoping George Pickens can come back because he's big.
• 1:04:58
  I know that hamstring is just really big with wide receivers.
• 1:05:00
  I saw it with just last forever.
• 1:05:02
  Yeah, we saw with Justin Jefferson.
• 1:05:04
  He was like, oh, he'll be back in two weeks.
• 1:05:05
  Unless you're Mike Evans.
• 1:05:08
  I mean, once you tweak it again, it's like he's just adding on.
• 1:05:12
  If you can't run your route right, then why?
• 1:05:14
  Yeah, it's not. No, it's going to lead to a pick or something.
• 1:05:17
  Right. So, yeah, I'm going Steelers as well.
• 1:05:19
  But it's it's more for Russell Wilson.
• 1:05:23
  I think I think.
• 1:05:25
  Yeah, let's rock.
• 1:05:27
  I was so corny.
• 1:05:28
  So let's ride.
• 1:05:30
  Did you ever see it? The Broncos? Let's ride.
• 1:05:32
  Oh, yeah, that was corny.
• 1:05:34
  It's the most Russell Wilson thing ever.
• 1:05:35
  But anyway, no, I think he
• 1:05:38
  I think his team's starting to buy into him a little bit more than they did
• 1:05:41
  maybe when he first got there because of the narrative
• 1:05:44
  that was going on about Russell Wilson anyway.
• 1:05:46
  So I think I don't know, man.
• 1:05:48
  I think the Steelers are actually scary to come out of the AFC
• 1:05:52
  and go to the AFC championship.
• 1:05:53
  But they are, I think.
• 1:05:55
  And I feel rips my heart out.
• 1:05:57
  I feel similar to Philly, too, because both the Steelers and Philly
• 1:06:01
  kind of flip their seasons around like they were.
• 1:06:03
  They were horrible, but they were not going well.
• 1:06:06
  They're a little.
• 1:06:06
  And also, you got hot.
• 1:06:08
  And I don't I don't know.
• 1:06:09
  I'm feeling the Steelers on this.
• 1:06:11
  I think it's going to be I think it's going to be a great game.
• 1:06:13
  Those can be really close.
• 1:06:15
  What night is that one on?
• 1:06:17
  I think that's Thursday. No, no, no.
• 1:06:19
  That's Sunday. No, Saturday.
• 1:06:21
  Yeah. Oh, Saturday.
• 1:06:23
  You guys can check out the technical.
• 1:06:25
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:06:26
  Well, you don't know what day it is.
• 1:06:28
  So it's just this 12. No, no, it's down there.
• 1:06:30
  Come down. All right.
• 1:06:33
  All right. All right.
• 1:06:34
  Last game, Philly at Washington.
• 1:06:38
  Another another toss up, right? Kind of.
• 1:06:41
  Yeah. But the way Philly's been balling, man.
• 1:06:44
  I mean, coming off.
• 1:06:45
  I'll wait to my turn, but I'm sorry, not coming off.
• 1:06:48
  I want my time.
• 1:06:50
  I've win.
• 1:06:52
  Oh, teams. Yeah. Right. Right.
• 1:06:56
  I will. I'm leaning towards Philly.
• 1:06:58
  I mean, hurts. He got it together last game.
• 1:07:00
  He passed the ball more.
• 1:07:02
  He definitely looked way more comfortable.
• 1:07:03
  And I was shocked. I was like, OK, he's getting a little scary.
• 1:07:07
  But that's the thing.
• 1:07:07
  It's like you really can't count hurts out in the run game or passing game.
• 1:07:12
  It's like when you think he's not going to pass it.
• 1:07:14
  Oh, he's going to he's going to chuck it because I mean, you got
• 1:07:16
  he's got a team to a Super Bowl.
• 1:07:17
  Yeah, exactly. He knows what it takes.
• 1:07:19
  Yeah, he definitely knows what it takes.
• 1:07:21
  And he's a leader. He's confident in what he does.
• 1:07:23
  I feel like he he like I've never seen him
• 1:07:27
  like question his ability as far as what I've saw lately.
• 1:07:31
  Lately, lately, maybe last year.
• 1:07:33
  A.J. Brown is questioning his ability.
• 1:07:35
  No, no. Yeah, that's what I said lately.
• 1:07:39
  I feel like they've definitely been more in sync
• 1:07:42
  with him and the white out course.
• 1:07:43
  So it's like you got A.J. Brown, you know, he's a stud.
• 1:07:46
  You got Smith. He's a stud.
• 1:07:48
  You got the tight end.
• 1:07:50
  What's I can't say not hers.
• 1:07:52
  That hurt. No, no, no.
• 1:07:55
  Got it. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:07:56
  Got it. I mean, Goddard, Goddard, whatever.
• 1:07:59
  But no, yeah, he's a boy.
• 1:08:01
  Yeah, I like him a lot.
• 1:08:03
  And then you got, of course, the Kwan.
• 1:08:04
  So it's like sequence tough. Yeah.
• 1:08:07
  He's he's MVP.
• 1:08:09
  We're sure. Yeah.
• 1:08:10
  I mean, if there wasn't a push touch, he'd be MVP.
• 1:08:13
  Yeah, he should have.
• 1:08:14
  Well, I'm that's 11 touchdowns that Hearst has this year
• 1:08:17
  that let's say we split it in half.
• 1:08:19
  They talk about fantasy all the time.
• 1:08:21
  Jalen Hearst is like the biggest touchdown stealer.
• 1:08:25
  Hands down, get them all the way down to the goal line.
• 1:08:30
  I'm in there.
• 1:08:31
  No, for sure. Dom. Dom.
• 1:08:33
  What we got?
• 1:08:35
  I mean, the Eagles definitely got that narrative out the way.
• 1:08:38
  Him and A.J. Brown, they were they were forced.
• 1:08:41
  Figured out force feeding A.J. Brown first.
• 1:08:44
  First couple of drives.
• 1:08:46
  But you guys know I love Jaden Daniels.
• 1:08:48
  I know I came on the first part.
• 1:08:51
  I was I'm not a mess about his name, Jaden Daniels.
• 1:08:54
  But that's my guy.
• 1:08:55
  And this week, I'm going to go Jaden Daniels again.
• 1:08:58
  Even if they take a loss, I'm still just going to ride
• 1:09:00
  because why not?
• 1:09:00
  Commanders are just a fun story.
• 1:09:03
  You know, they are.
• 1:09:04
  The Lions and the commanders are two teams.
• 1:09:06
  I'm very happy that are successful, even though the Lions are in our
• 1:09:08
  conference in our division.
• 1:09:10
  I'm still happy that they're finally getting success
• 1:09:13
  in their organization with all the stuff that they had to deal with in past season.
• 1:09:17
  So, yes, Gary Terry.
• 1:09:18
  We got Jaden Daniels and that defense looking nice, too.
• 1:09:22
  Yeah, no. You know, so.
• 1:09:24
  Yes and no.
• 1:09:26
  Yes and no.
• 1:09:27
  So my biggest thing with this game is I'm picking Philly.
• 1:09:30
  And I really wanted to pick Washington. I really did.
• 1:09:33
  I did, too.
• 1:09:34
  I'm extremely concerned about Washington's run defense against Saquon.
• 1:09:38
  I think that I mean, if Saquon's going to have himself a game,
• 1:09:41
  it's going to be this one.
• 1:09:43
  It'd be fun.
• 1:09:43
  I hope Washington wins because it's better for Detroit and Minnesota both.
• 1:09:48
  Right.
• 1:09:48
  So I don't think they will get the one seat.
• 1:09:51
  I think it will be Detroit or Minnesota personally. But.
• 1:09:55
  You know, yeah, of course.
• 1:09:57
  But but no, I just got to go Philly.
• 1:10:00
  I yeah, it's Saquon verse their their rush defense for me, I think, is
• 1:10:04
  is the factors.
• 1:10:05
  I understand. I understand.
• 1:10:07
  I'm going Philly because I think actually the commanders are going to lose out.
• 1:10:11
  They got Eagles, Falcons, the Cowboys at Cowboys.
• 1:10:15
  And I think that there might be slipping out of the playoffs.
• 1:10:19
  That's all three miss the playoffs.
• 1:10:20
  There's a good chance.
• 1:10:21
  I mean, they need some things.
• 1:10:24
  Other teams, so, you know, but I feel like they might lose out.
• 1:10:28
  Probably one and two for sure.
• 1:10:30
  It all depends on what the cowboys coming to the cowboys.
• 1:10:32
  Well, the Cowboys seem which Cowboys team shows up
• 1:10:35
  because their season's already kind of done, so they might have nothing to play for.
• 1:10:39
  But which is when you drop games, though. True.
• 1:10:41
  When you play a team that's got nothing to play for. Yeah.
• 1:10:43
  Yeah. They play loose.
• 1:10:45
  Yeah. Like you never know.
• 1:10:47
  Cooper Rush might be next starting quarterback in Dallas.
• 1:10:50
  So but one concern, though, I do not like Cooper Rush.
• 1:10:54
  Barkley tweaked got hurt in the second quarter.
• 1:10:58
  They pretty much shut him down the whole second quarter. Yeah.
• 1:11:00
  So they kind of want to get back in, though.
• 1:11:03
  He did coming back in, but you know, maybe some
• 1:11:06
  some pharmaceuticals might have helped that.
• 1:11:08
  But that's a price possession.
• 1:11:10
  You got to take care of that thing. No. Yeah.
• 1:11:12
  I think he's challenging the Ferrari now.
• 1:11:14
  I feel Scott this one.
• 1:11:16
  I'm going Philly.
• 1:11:17
  Throwing out this going Philly, going Philly.
• 1:11:21
  That wraps our week 16 preview and picks.
• 1:11:24
  We did have an honorable mention game just Houston at Kansas City.
• 1:11:28
  This will not count towards here.
• 1:11:31
  Who's winning that game?
• 1:11:32
  Chiefs could clinch the number one seed here with a win and a Buffalo loss.
• 1:11:36
  I don't know who Buffalo plays this week.
• 1:11:38
  It's I think it's a pipsqueak, but I can't remember.
• 1:11:40
  I'd go Houston just I think Nico Collins and Strahl
• 1:11:44
  are they're starting to get a little bit that defense on that.
• 1:11:48
  They're probably one of the better defense lines in football.
• 1:11:51
  Hunter and Will Smith on the other side.
• 1:11:53
  Sure, sure. You know, Anderson, well, I was in it.
• 1:11:55
  So about the new hunter.
• 1:11:58
  So yeah, I would I would pick the Scroggs on that one.
• 1:12:03
  Interesting, interesting.
• 1:12:04
  I think it's chiefs.
• 1:12:05
  They probably lock up the number one seed.
• 1:12:08
  Buffalo Scrappy, though, they're getting they're getting there.
• 1:12:10
  Like we've already talked about.
• 1:12:11
  Buffalo is a whole field scrap.
• 1:12:12
  You don't get one for sure.
• 1:12:14
  But their team is a whole field Scrappy and like maybe this is their year
• 1:12:17
  finally to knock Kansas City out the playoffs and make a real run for once.
• 1:12:22
  You know what I mean? But I don't know.
• 1:12:24
  I'm leaning Kansas City here at Arrowhead. That's tough.
• 1:12:26
  Yeah, that is tough.
• 1:12:28
  I'm going to take.
• 1:12:30
  I mean, it doesn't count. So let's take Houston.
• 1:12:33
  Yeah, I got Neagle Collins on fancy football.
• 1:12:37
  So I got Neagle Collins. I got Tankdale.
• 1:12:40
  And Joe Mixon is back. Joe Mixon. He's a solid back to me.
• 1:12:44
  So Houston with their full squad is no, no.
• 1:12:46
  Yeah, no, they're no joke.
• 1:12:48
  They're no joke. Yeah, they're definitely no joke.
• 1:12:51
  Well, it's looking like Patty is playing.
• 1:12:54
  So I'm I hate Pat Magic, man.
• 1:12:57
  Yeah, it's real chiefs.
• 1:12:59
  And that's another thing like when it comes playoff.
• 1:13:02
  It's hard to play against you.
• 1:13:03
  You cannot ever count this dude out.
• 1:13:06
  He made he's a magician, man.
• 1:13:07
  And it's like as good as Allen is playing.
• 1:13:09
  Yeah, here comes here comes Patrick.
• 1:13:12
  Yeah, he's like I'm telling you, he's becoming the Tom Brady of our generation.
• 1:13:16
  It's like as much as, you know, you see, Brady has these like if he seasons.
• 1:13:21
  This is Brady. Yeah, he's known for winning.
• 1:13:23
  Like when someone is known for winning, they're going to do whatever they take.
• 1:13:27
  So when then it's like it's going to make the other quarterback like kind of,
• 1:13:30
  you know, hesitant to be, you know, do a lot of things.
• 1:13:33
  Yeah, I've seen it.
• 1:13:34
  No, exactly. Josh Allen has gone into that shell.
• 1:13:38
  Yeah. You know, that first time they met in the playoffs, I was insane.
• 1:13:40
  Yeah, no, I wouldn't.
• 1:13:41
  I wouldn't say Josh Allen fell into a shell.
• 1:13:43
  That was just over time being over time. Right.
• 1:13:45
  Yeah. But since then, yeah, it seems like it changed.
• 1:13:48
  And that game changed the rules.
• 1:13:50
  But Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson.
• 1:13:51
  I mean, you've seen other quarterbacks fall into that for sure.
• 1:13:55
  Who do you got? I said Kansas City.
• 1:13:57
  Oh, did you? Yeah.
• 1:13:59
  Yeah. Arrowhead. This is.
• 1:14:00
  Yeah, that's what I said. That vibe there is I've never been there.
• 1:14:03
  Oh, I have a ton of.
• 1:14:04
  Yeah, I've heard it's awesome.
• 1:14:06
  Like, I'd love to get there.
• 1:14:06
  It's only what? Six hours from here.
• 1:14:08
  So road trip.
• 1:14:09
  And they're Midwest nights to a center.
• 1:14:10
  It's not like walking to the filling and battery thrown at you.
• 1:14:14
  I also think weather's going to play a piece.
• 1:14:16
  You know, Houston. Yeah, they don't know how to play.
• 1:14:19
  Yeah, exactly. In Kansas City, too.
• 1:14:21
  Yeah. CJ Straub play Ohio State is not like you don't know how to play outside.
• 1:14:24
  Oh, no. Yeah, it's true.
• 1:14:25
  It's true. Yeah, true.
• 1:14:27
  And next thing you got him coming from Sensi, too.
• 1:14:29
  So it's like. And they got.
• 1:14:31
  Oh, yeah. Yeah. Nico Collins. Yeah.
• 1:14:33
  All right. Interesting. Yeah. Good point.
• 1:14:35
  You know, it's going to be a defense. It don't count.
• 1:14:36
  So it doesn't matter.
• 1:14:37
  Well, I understand. He's from Bama. Yeah.
• 1:14:40
  Where did Hunt?
• 1:14:41
  I mean, yeah, he can go.
• 1:14:42
  Yeah, but yeah, anyways.
• 1:14:44
  But yeah, anyways, yeah.
• 1:14:46
  But I mean, yeah, it definitely is definitely hard to knock off KC at home.
• 1:14:50
  At home. I know that.
• 1:14:52
  Well, D'Angelo, appreciate you being on the pod this week.
• 1:14:55

• 1:15:03
  First time it's been worthy to have one.
• 1:15:06
  No, dude.
• 1:15:07
  They were last season.
• 1:15:08
  Arguably, we could have had one, too.
• 1:15:10
  But we had no runs over.
• 1:15:12
  We've had we've had 12 guests.
• 1:15:15
