big big week for the AFC South again this this this AFC South is going to be something to watch oh yeah uh we're

0:25

about as hot and cold as Katy Perry in 2005 um it is it is pretty ridiculous um

0:33

everybody in this division is the epitome of the phrase Jackal and hide

0:38

because it's such a week- toe basis on what team is trotting out on the

0:43

field I feel like the the two teams that were not expected to do anything are the

0:50

least jeal in hide I feel like the Colts and the Texans you can expect I guess more consistency from

0:58

them at this point I mean yeah I think we all understood that the Titans were going to be in a

1:04

state of change and fluctuation a little bit this season because the offensive line is so

1:10

new but um yeah I mean the Colts and the Texans have been at least consistent uh after a

1:19

couple bumps for the Texans they kind of smoothed it out a little bit the defense while it wasn't perfect today was still

1:27

um you know you hold somebody to 21 points you expect that that's a winnable game so yeah uh they're doing their jobs

1:34

and and the Colts are the same way the Colts are playing phenomenal defense and

1:40

they're they're just hoping to get some some sort of complimentary offense and maybe a quarterback that's not made

1:46

out of glass I don't know yeah that'd be really nice to have a quarterback that's not made out of glass yeah um let's I

1:54

guess we we'll talk about the AFC South games more than I guess we'll dive in a little bit to the other ones but I want

2:00

to cover those are the important games yeah um most competitive division in football Yeah by record actually maybe

2:09

yeah maybe the AFC North too but uh let's cover the division matchup first Colts Texans or Colts Titans

2:17

um this was a I mean listen this is a battle the Colts Heaven won I think it's been seven or they lost six of the last

2:24

seven against Tennessee after owning them with Andrew luck for many years

2:30

um this was kind of considered it's a new era for the Colts moving into Anthony Richardson uh Richardson gets

2:37

hurt on the designed runs which I have said Time and Time and Time and Time and Time Again why are you designing runs

2:44

for the kid he's comfortable in the pocket he's clearly showed Poise in the pocket why why is he not just using his

2:51

legs to extend the play and and be athletic but Shane styen loves to do

2:57

that he just loves to do it and he loves taken chances like a well-known quarterback Whisperer that was the Colts

3:03

head coach just a year ago yeah uh and I think you a lot of

3:09

people when they heard siken was coming and then the moment that anony

3:14

Richardson was drafted everybody was like oh thank God we got a guy who knows how to handle a mobile quarterback and

3:21

which is true but I mean I don't I don't know that anybody

3:26

was necessarily expecting Anthony Richardson to just you know get concussion and miss a game and then um

3:33

now he's got this AC spring which is a blessing that it's an AC sprain yeah it could have been

3:40

significantly worse the way he was tackled but um I was actually talking to

3:46

the Colts fan on my podcast Channel about it and um I was just like why

3:52

didn't you slide Harold Landry technically yes he was tackled from behind but he knew

3:57

where Harold Landry was from the moment the ball was snapped that was the first

4:03

person he saw in another uniform and he was in a hit pocket of Anthony Richardson the entire time until he was

4:09

tackled slide avoid unnecessary contact yes and

4:17

I don't know if nobody's taught him that yet but that needs to be a lesson at some point bring in um who's what's the

4:23

is there a professional baseball team in Indiana uh there is a minor league team they brought they did that with Andrew

4:30

luck too the Indianapolis Indians um okay they called in the sliding coach

4:35

and they got a slip and slide for Andrew Luck when he was there and they taught him to slide all right is the class is

4:42

in session bring the slip and slide back Anthony Richardson's the new pupil let's let's make it happen because any like

4:49

he's electric if you can keep him on the field he's one of those quarterbacks that at least so far has given a spark

4:56

to the offense even when he's not being 100 100% accurate or even close to it um

5:04

so if he can find ways of not breaking himself I think he's going to have a pretty solid career and I was the guy

5:11

not too long ago that was like this guy's gonna be out of the league in three years I said I said the same thing yeah

5:19

so I'm I'm fully aware that I gotta eat some Crow but at the same time

5:25

um this his career could be very quickly derailed if he doesn't learn to take care of

5:31

himself I think it's it's that um there are Colts fans out there that are still pretty delusional about his injury and

5:38

you know his obvious injury history after he's played four games you know they're they're saying that they're

5:44

saying oh it's just an unlucky streak I mean any anytime a quarterback

5:51

if if your running quarterback gets hurt pass a line of scrimmage on a design run I mean that's I I see that as the

5:57

coaching the coaching's fall and and obviously Richardson's fault for not sliding but that's more something that

6:03

needs to be taught yeah and he's comfortable in the pocket he shown Poise

6:08

in the pocket where he's able to stand in there I mean he took a hit from [ __ ] Aaron Donald and delivered a

6:13

dart last week yeah he also came up limping in the game last week too it was a short time but I count that as a as a

6:21

possible injury he's been injured in every game he's played every single game

6:26

at least for a very small amount of time and there becomes a point where it's like

6:31

this isn't luck anymore this is they're being Reckless and I I feel like they're being Reckless at this point this was

6:37

the injury that kind of put it over the top and we four games into the kid's career yeah oh man that's

6:46

sucks that sucks you you like again he's electric like there's there's not many

6:53

people other than outside maybe Lamar who can kind of bring that juice to any

6:58

offense and um it it's it's just going to be a shame if he doesn't learn how to slide

7:05

learn when he can and can't avoid hits but you know it's goingon to be all for

7:11

not if uh sten's just gonna lean on the design QB runs anyway which yeah you

7:17

know maybe he thinks he's coaching for Chicago I think I really think he's

7:23

coaching for Philadelphia I think he thinks that all those players automatically come with him because

7:28

that's how that's how they're treating it and you know I I hate I hate to be

7:34

this negative guy on a win like what I'm supposed to be celebrating a win but I haven't really felt like sten's play

7:42

calling and decision- making has been you know up to par I he's he's

7:48

clearly built a great locker room that get the guys love each other I mean they still accepted Jonathan Taylor with open

7:54

arms after everything that that happened they accepted him with open arms but

7:59

this is really really really scaring me because this is what we said about Frank Reich we said he is a quarterback

8:05

Whisperer and we've said the same thing about Shane Sten Shane Sten comes from

8:11

the Frank Reich coaching tree came from Nick serani um and his his play calling and decision

8:20

making he I mean he's terrible with time management he does not care about timeouts whatsoever he always tries to

8:27

do that little you know try to jump get him to jump maybe works five% of the time on

8:33

average and you look at I mean at the at the end of the first half today they could have easily just taken a field

8:39

goal you go up Seven heading into the half and you walk away you you know you didn't get it you didn't score a

8:45

touchdown but no they go for it and you lose the points yeah I feel like that's

8:50

happened a couple times at least now with Sten already I don't care that we're three and

8:55

two there's been a lot of mismanagement I mean last week against against the Rams you know you're you're down eight

9:02

with eight minutes to go you get the ball you don't try to run the clock down because that two-point conversion isn't

9:08

a guarantee to get the two-point conversion whatsoever you try and score as quickly as you can even kick a field

9:14

goal you're down five your defense is playing great get a stop and then you'll

9:19

have the ball with two minutes and two timeouts you go to you go in score and win the game there they I think Sten

9:25

completely screwed that up he tried to run the clock down which you know you can't run the clock down with with seven

9:31

minutes you know it's very difficult especially with the timeouts that the Rams have yeah I I don't get it I I

9:38

don't I don't really see the love for his play calling if he took if he took it away and was just a locker room guy

9:43

then I would say great this is a perfect setup get Eric Vimy in there yeah get him [ __ ] in there and be half head

9:50

coach and just be the offensive head coach yeah I mean Jesus yeah uh Jeff the Colts fan on my

9:58

show he for basically since like week two he's been commenting on how inconsistent

10:05

styken has been with certain game management aspects not calling a timeout

10:10

uh I can't remember the particular instance but there's been several times in the chat during game day where Jeff's

10:17

just like why are you not kicking the freaking field goal what the hell take the points take the points you got one

10:22

of the best kickers in the league and we paid him all this money and he just set a record at last week or you know at

10:30

this point it was last week but um you know four 50 yard field goals in one

10:35

game the guy's good and for whatever reason I I feel like maybe sten's just

10:41

not trying to lean on the kicker too much maybe he's trying to put more pressure on the offense on purpose

10:49

maybe um it's it's that's a that's a good

10:54

theory I guess it's it's kind of like what was it the the Flash movie the

10:59

director came out and said no the CGI is supposed to look like that you know the CG is supposed to look bad because he's

11:06

in the flat you know he's in the whatever flash zone or something can't remember the specific name off the top

11:13

of my head yeah it's like guys like I don't the I love Bill bellich like

11:19

that's that's one thing I'm like if the Colts could get bich I'd be so much happier I don't care about their record

11:25

right now their team is horrible it's it's just not a good team team yeah but I still think if you give belich a great

11:32

team he's going to go out and win ball games no matter what because he's smart yeah and I don't think styken is

11:41

like impossible to reach those levels for him I think there's a lot of these bumps and bruises he's taking because

11:47

he's he's a rookie head coach he he's got to learn some things on the Fly and he's gonna his growing pains are going

11:54

to be a lot more pronounced than some of maybe the rookies per se who might mess up on a block and it might not affect

12:01

the play a whole a whole lot but you know he mismanages the two minute drill

12:08

and everybody in National media is just like who is this Joker is this what is

12:15

this I don't think he's anywhere near the uh what was uh what was the coach for the Broncos last year oh Nathaniel

12:23

Hackett yeah he's nowhere he's nowhere near that I won't give him that designation whatsoever uh that that's

12:28

pure insult but um no he's he he's taken his lumps so far and

12:36

I think I think one of the good things that he does is at least he owns up to that he's like you know pretty

12:42

consistently been like I got to be better in those situations yeah which is that's why I'm I'm trying not to freak

12:48

out because I know I mean everyone knows when your football team's playing football no matter what you're like I

12:54

want to win like I don't care what position that we're in you know draft wise or whatever you want to see them

13:00

win and you see them [ ] up you're like what the [ ] I'm just I feel that PTSD of Frank Reich it's just it comes on

13:07

every Sunday I'm like oh my God these guys are that you know he's gonna [ __ ]

13:13

us up he's he's gonna make us lose another game because of a bad of some sort of mismanagement which winning winning

13:21

three three out of five with this team against these teams that we're playing that's pretty damn good like I'm

13:27

giving him his flowers as well yeah uh I mean you guys haven't played slouch teams necessarily so um especially with

13:36

some of the uh the folks that have been decent surprises in our division and

13:41

Tennessee probably doing their best road performance of the season they haven't won a road game since since like week

13:49

six last year or something yeah I think in I think in a week or two it's

13:55

supposed to be like a full calendar year until their last Road win um they they hadn't lost Indianapolis in

14:03

Indianapolis since 2018 and the last time before that that they lost to Indianapolis was Philip

14:09

Rivers on Thursday night I remember that in Tennessee the block punt in the back

14:15

of the end zone yep yep so I mean a lot of a lot of monkeys are off the back

14:21

right now uh you gotta imagine the Jim rsay who's been trying to be a Titan killer for the last several years is

14:27

grinning ear to ear right now and probably singing his favorite song I don't know what it is but he's probably

14:34

some sort of some sort of like 70s rock yeah and he it's it's fine that I don't

14:39

know what it is because he probably also doesn't know the lyrics and is just drunkenly rambling yeah

14:45

yeah probably probably gonna call a giant concert oh it's he's definitely have a

14:51

gonna have a concert during the game next week as it's like a fan experience which is Another Monkey yeah

14:59

another monkey they got to get off their back they're going to Jacksonville I have I've been gifted

15:05

tickets I was on strike against going to Jacksonville but now I was gifted tickets so I'm like I well I have to go

15:11

it was Chief's fan money so I hope that will break the curse possibly because

15:16

the chiefs were able to win there um nice but we gotta gotta hope to get that monkey off their back this it can't go

15:23

on it can't go on for much longer right it's impossible I mean you're right

15:29

um the I think I think the Jaguars fan on my show will be at that game so I

15:35

don't yeah so I don't know if you guys like even know each other remotely but that was the first time I met him oh

15:43

okay okay so I'll try to get you guys a link up or something but um yeah I mean the the Colts are in a

15:51

good position to take that monkey right off and Yeet it back into the tree but uh the Jags are looking good the Jags

15:59

you know staying in in London getting two wins over the Falcons and the bills

16:04

that's that's huge they're three and two just like y'all and uh because they beat yall they're actually ahead of you in

16:10

the division not Mist yeah which we can talk about Jacksonville well Tennessee is the saddest one so we can end with

16:16

them um Jacksonville I mean they're I think they're more the definition of

16:21

schizophrenic in this division um because holy [ __ ] like they I don't think they look good at all against

16:27

Atlanta I feel like if Atlanta just took out Ritter and put in hinei they would have won that game because you know it

16:34

was I think it was a much closer game than the score really kind of showed yeah but them going they get they got

16:41

Buffalo's number too that's got to be something because I remember they beat them couple years a couple years ago or

16:46

was it last year I think it was a couple years ago it was like six to nine or something it was I remember it was a

16:52

really low-scoring game um and Trevor Lawrence I mean he's not he hasn't been

17:00

the fir the number one pick I would say that I think their defense has really showed out um it's definitely been a

17:07

much better showing from their defense oh yeah today I mean that's kind of been

17:13

the thing all season with Jacksonville there's they're in their defense I think is a top 10 unit I think might might be

17:20

like top seven or something overall like they they usually this season it's not

17:26

the offense that's usually killing people like they're really good at pass pass

17:32

rush win rate and a bunch of other little you know indicators of success

17:38

but this Jacksonville defense they're the real deal they're uh they're showing up every week and they're shutting down

17:44

the Run game and they're able to get after the passer and they're they're giving teams hell but you know it's the

17:51

games they're losing Trevor Lawrence and the offense have looked pedestrian and the offensive line in every game game

17:59

has been very very questionable uh I don't know if it's

18:05

people taking steps back or playing out of position and they're just trying to make things work but uh Trevor Lawrence

18:12

has been the most pressured quarterback if I'm not mistaken Rick even more

18:19

than more than Stroud yeah no Stroud's actually because

18:25

he didn't get sacked this week uh that makes three weeks in a row he's not been sacked he's been pressured a fair amount

18:31

but yeah uh Lawrence I mean just watching the game today every single

18:37

play he gets the snap he hits his drop the final step of his drop and then he

18:42

has to take off and like run through the pocket a little bit because somebody's getting through it's it's been the same

18:49

story every single week the Colts were able to get after him the Texans were able to get after him that's that's kind

18:57

of the way to get to the Jags is create a lot of pressure and Chaos on that offensive line and so far they're not

19:03

answering that call but Trevor Lawrence despite that has been very very accurate

19:10

and very on the money when it comes to actually being able to get the ball

19:16

off um so Jacksonville they're sitting about middle of the pack right now

19:22

they've they're averaging 21 points a game um huge Houston is just behind

19:30

Indianapolis Houston's at 23 tied with Chicago yes Chicago with 23 points

19:37

a game and then the Colts are 24.0 no Houston or Tennessee sorry um

19:44

keep thinking the Oilers uh Tennessee is 17.6 points per game by far worst in the

19:52

division yeah um kind of surprised I guess I I feel like Jacksonville's

19:59

offense would have been lower I

20:05

mean you would think that that's possible because of the Falcons game and

20:10

they really only scored like the one touchdown in there um but I mean pretty much through the rest

20:17

of the games it's it's been the offense scoring points it's just not usually been enough I mean they put up uh 17 on

20:25

20 [ __ ] was it 37 to 20 or 37 to 17 against the Texans and um they put up

20:34

what 30 something against the Colts 31 3121 was the final they're actually

20:40

yardage wise they're number eight too they're yeah right behind Minnesota um

20:46

and then they're ahead of Houston and the Colts it it goes Colts Texans

20:52

Jaguars makes sense you know the AFC South just representing well I mean looky AFC South's been

21:00

playing hot they've been playing hot when we're on we're on yeah I don't want to hear anybody talking [ __ ] about the

21:06

AFC South no more no no but time go

21:12

ahead oh we we we don't have a four lost team it's gorgeous to I know dude and

21:18

God bless America that means good football is happening and for the

21:24

longest time in this division that has not been the case um

21:29

God thank thank God for that um yeah the uh the Jags are G to figure

21:36

some things out they got uh some questions at left guard and they they moved the guy who was playing at left

21:42

tackle and cam Robinson's absence Walker little they moved him into left guard

21:47

and then they've been letting Anton Harrison play right tackle and Anton Harrison he's been all right but he's

21:53

he's let up some key pressures at different times and uh I imagine Walker little wasn't

22:00

exactly a perfect fit at left guard for this week at least but you know they

22:05

need time to jail and they keep changing the pieces and with time the Jags and Duvall Nation

22:12

will be as I predicted early in the off season that they're it's their division

22:18

to lose I think they're going to do just fine despite their offensive line woses

22:23

early on I have an opinion on will Lis that it's it's it's not great right now

22:29

because of you know he's playing pretty well I would say um I think his deep

22:35

ball does not look good I think a lot of people say his his spiral looks awesome that it's a beautiful spiral I don't

22:42

like it I think that thing looks like it's gonna fall right out of the air and into the defender's hands maybe it's

22:48

just me but I don't like the spiral I don't think it looks good he's been great for two games but when you look at

22:55

the three three touchdown game to dehop right two of those passes I think were pretty bad passes one was a clear OPI on

23:03

dehop the other one was way underthrown I think and dehop had to make an adjustment to go get it the other one

23:10

was a drop in the bucket um but he hasn't really shown like the typical

23:17

quarterback things now he's able to win but there isn't a lot of tape on the guy in the NFL and I wouldn't be shocked if

23:24

in the next few weeks he really comes back down to earth

23:29

yeah I mean the Titans too like are they going back to tanhill or I

23:35

mean this is permanent right I mean we'll love a they they can't go back I mean they can't he was

23:42

horrible I I I think so I mean you know but then this is now this turns into

23:48

kind of a rebuild doesn't it a little bit kind of growing pains what do we call this what are the what are the

23:54

Titans are they in transition they are they rebuilding what get rid of bued right and I think that was like a okay

24:01

they're they're completely resetting they're hitting the reset button they're they're tearing the whole damn thing

24:07

down at the end of the year Vel might get fired um and then he could go be the DC for for bellich um but I feel like

24:17

you know they didn't deal Henry and everyone thought they were gonna deal Henry it's they're they're just kind of

24:24

like I don't want to do it but they they just need to rip the Band-Aid off it's it's time this team is I mean you're

24:30

three and five at this point you've lost to the Colts who you beat him seven straight games and now you lost to them

24:36

and you lose to this Steelers team that's not very good but they just find ways to win is there really much left to play

24:43

for for this Titans team at this point because you're definitely not winning a Super Bowl yeah they're not winning a

24:48

Super Bowl they're they're just kind of yeah they're in a weird State and it's not quite like baseball where you know

24:54

you could trade a guy and get like a few good prospects and you know who those prospects are I mean in football it's

25:01

you trade them for these picks and you don't know who those picks are going to be could be some guy who blows out his ACL and is never the same so this idea

25:09

you know they trade Henry and is that the way that you start a rebuild I guess maybe you get a first round pick for him

25:15

that's pretty good but yeah it's it's a shame it's a shame because it felt like the Titans were close it felt like they

25:21

were close and if they had someone you know step in at the quarterback position

25:27

and elevate above tanah Hill they might have had a chance to win the whole thing but he just knew that he just knew he

25:33

wasn't going to be the guy but hey I just saw a thing on as a headline one of little side bars on ESPN it was Steelers

25:40

are good at nothing except winning the game that's at the end of the day that's all you got to do right well said and

25:47

you know I think I really think Titans fans are gonna look back on that AJ AJ Brown trade and think what the [ __ ] were

25:55

they that was supposed to be part of a rebuild and that hasn't done much for him so I mean you would have thought he

26:01

he could have been a big help you would think in the last three years how long has he been in Philly three seasons now

26:08

um I want to say just two right I think last year when they got him or was he there in 2021 I I I feel like he it's

26:15

just last year uh you know that that's what elevated the Eagles yeah I mean he went

26:21

to the Eagles just last year so he was a Titan for three years through 21 um

26:28

and you know the Eagles were a nine and8 team in 2021 that got hammered in the wild card game by the Bucks they had AJ

26:35

Brown I'm not saying it was just AJ brown but that was a big reason that they took that leap to Super Bowl team

26:41

last year yeah yeah um even last year you look at the Titans they missed the

26:47

playoffs I think AJ Brown could have been a big help for them sure you really could have that you know he could have

26:52

put them over the top just to not lose that many games you know down the

26:58

stretch um but I think Titan yeah Titan F gonna be thinking about that for a long time uh let's go to the Germany

27:05

game I'm sick and tired of the international games I'm already sick of them the the first I think when they

27:11

have two and they're spread out I'm happy with them it's fine it's it's a cool little thing you get a little treat

27:17

in the morning it's too many I don't care about bringing the international market bring the NFL Europe back that's

27:25

what I care about right um the Chiefs only put up 14 offensive

27:30

points is is this a sign for panic yet um by the way I agree with you on the

27:37

international games 2006 was the last year that went through an NFL season didn't have a game played outside the

27:42

United States Colts won the Super Bowl that Year by the way Colts are playing in Germany next week um cause for

27:49

concern no um I looked at it and I was like well first of all of course how

27:54

ironic that Tyreek Hills fumble wins a game for the chief Chiefs that was the difference in the game um they're not

28:02

quite the same explosive offense right now the Chiefs but the Dolphins I looked

28:07

at the Dolph I take more away from it for Miami right you could say well Miami beat Denver 70 to 20 and then Denver

28:13

beat the Chiefs last week so how come Miami couldn't beat the Chiefs well the NFL doesn't work that way Miami's three

28:19

losses have been to Elite teams and there's two schools at thought you say

28:24

well you lose to good teams and maybe you're still good because it's okay those are excusable losses I kind of

28:30

feel almost the opposite because they've kind of like even today you looked at 21- 14 Miami kind of got flattened it

28:36

was an ugly ugly first half pass protection was a problem they got hammered by Philadelphia and they really

28:44

got hammered by the bills Philly Philly they were in that game their penalties really killed them they I think they

28:51

really and Philly had no penalties if I'm if I'm correct well okay so maybe I I my memory was fuzzy on that one but

28:58

they lost that game by 14 points and penalties killed them today sacks and penalties and so to me that's always

29:04

coaching and and it's a sign that you have problems on your offensive line and we already knew that because two a TI of

29:10

Alo is you know it's a hazard risk and the Chiefs are just the the Chiefs are

29:16

the Steelers but better they're they find ways to win and they're good right and it's like I'm looking at the AFC and

29:23

I see oh okay Miami's got six wins and Buffalo's supposed to be pretty good Cincinnati supposed to pretty good the Jags are six and two and I know the

29:29

Ravens are playing well but it just feels like all that other stuff is noise and then there's just the Chiefs and so

29:36

until I see somebody really like a good team a contending team go in and kick

29:41

the stuffing out of the Chiefs or I that's kick the stuffing I know Denver beat him last week that just felt like

29:47

one of those weird well yeah I mean you look at it momes was sick and I know a lot of people don't like to use that

29:53

excuse but when when you're the Super Bowl champions you've won it twice in the last five years you've been there so

30:00

many times I think you do earn the benefit of the doubt yeah of course and and Mahomes had never lost a Division

30:06

Road game so it was just at some point that was gonna happen and Denver's playing better so um but it it still

30:12

feels like the Chiefs are on their own plane in the AFC it may not be that much

30:18

higher now it may be a little more the app may have closed a little bit but

30:23

they just again they just find a way Miami and two is still May kept them in the game but they both

30:30

quarterbacks were under 200 yards I mean we were like thinking oh Dolphins Chiefs this could be like 41 to 38 what a fun

30:36

game this is going to be and each team scored two offensive touchdowns and both quarterbacks had and maybe there's

30:42

something in under 200 yards both maybe there's something to this you know playing at 9:30 in Germany when this

30:48

game at Arrow you wonder and I'm not saying it would have been different but if they played this game in Arrowhead Stadium of course he would had the

30:54

Tyreek Hill story would have been fun to see him you know the crowd and all that number one and two you wonder if this

31:00

that game would have been like 31 to 28 if played at Arrowhead on a Sunday at

31:06

four o'clock Eastern you know what I mean and it's that it just you're you're you're like the NFL has Beyond watered

31:13

down and I feel for guys like you that are are this is more like the time you're growing up watching football and

31:18

to me it was 15 20 years ago and it was just all it just feels different now and

31:24

you're right the international games it's a bad thing that Thursday night football if I could have two wishes when

31:30

it comes to football get rid of probably both of those well on 17 games of course I'm I'm I'm perfectly fine with Thursday

31:37

Night Football I think honestly it's more taking over Monday Night Football Monday Night Football is a historic

31:42

thing I think it has to be there no matter what but the the Thursday night football games have been a lot better than the Monday night games just in

31:48

matchup quality I think just even preseason matchup quality you look at some of these Monday night games like

31:54

what the [ __ ] are they thinking when they're putting these teams together um but you do look at the Sunday night game

31:59

last week even even preseason who thinks of Chicago and and LA in La being the

32:08

the game I mean you had the 49er game 49ers Bengals to Super Bowl preseason

32:13

Super Bowl contenders could have put them there I mean there there was a few other games you could have put over a

32:19

non-rivalry game in a city that literally does not care they don't give

32:24

a [ __ ] about football um but whatever uh I I I want to get back to the Chiefs

32:30

because the international I just can't stand it get rid of the international games [ __ ] them they're horrible um

32:36

there's no there's no formula to succeed in the international games Miami got

32:41

their L they got their early they came out flat the Chiefs got there late they came out and they were actually a little

32:48

hot to start you know they went up 21 nothing Kansas City's earned the benefit of the doubt for me that until they lose

32:54

they will always be the favorite in my book they will always be that and even

32:59

you know they they'll always be a top five team because you have Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce to probably top

33:06

three combination tight end quarterback I would say um of all time I mean

33:12

there's obviously Brady and groon and you know Tony Gonzalez never really had that Hall of Fame quarterback to to be

33:19

considered a top combination um I you look at

33:24

Miami this is I mean it's a problem they're they're on fraud watch here I mean Mike McDaniel especially at the end

33:30

of the game he freaks out I think he I think his play calling freaks out

33:35

because they run the ball well Raheem moer 12 for 85 he was averaging 7.1 on

33:41

that final drive he had a 25 yard rush and a 19 yard rush to get him into

33:46

Kansas City field goal range you had just over a minute two timeouts and you don't run the ball at all after that you

33:52

try to throw it four times in a row and about that too yeah yeah and and how about you know you're you're going to be

33:59

a competent football team you're playing another big team and you lose the game on a fumbled fourth down snap I mean

34:05

yeah and I mean Tua Tua missed a touchdown because he the ball flew out

34:11

like slipped out of his hand what the [ __ ] was that throw I mean the thing went 10 yards short I don't and I'm a to

34:17

apologist I think he's actually better than than a lot of people expect I don't think he's the MVP anymore I think this

34:24

was the game that says you're not the MVP because this was a big game this was a very big game and they lose this I

34:31

mean you just you know you could possibly get the number one seed over the Chiefs if you win this game you're

34:37

probably gonna win the division who win the AFC East I mean Buffalo is right there but they're not they're really not

34:43

let's let's have that conversation not yet but Buffalo is not there yeah the the Chiefs are the new Patriots I mean

34:51

just whatever however you would see the Patriots winning games for two decades it's just this is what this is is

34:57

exactly what the Patriots would do it just and I know I know especially the Patriots because everybody is dancing on

35:04

their graves acting like their season's over when they lost to Denver people were saying oh Mahomes is done Mahomes

35:11

is horrible we did the same thing with Tom Brady I don't I don't understand why we're doing it I don't understand why we

35:16

can't just learn from our mistakes but the Chiefs are gonna be there in January

35:22

thinking yeah they the Patriots never lost would never I never but rarely lose two in a row they don't lose after B I

35:29

mean they and they don't lose division games they never lost division games and the Chiefs barely lose division games

35:34

right right and and it's the other teams just make mistakes and they would the Patriots would wait to capitalize and

35:41

again the AFC a lot of these teams have just been so mediocre for so long that the the door is open if there is a team

35:49

that has that Elite quarterback coach combo to just dominate the conference can't don't see it in the NFC but you

35:55

see you've seen in the AFC since basically the turn of the century I think if you look at the great

36:01

teams the first thing those teams are able to do is dominate The Division those are six free wins right there you

36:09

basically start you start the season knowing okay we're at least gonna win five to six games that is the standard

36:16

basically and then you go through you look at okay well we're playing this other division we're playing two of these teams suck there you go there's

36:23

seven eight wins I mean you just keep adding up these wins that are almost like Auto itics these teams no matter

36:28

how no matter like on their level of good like you know maybe the Chiefs have a little bit of a Down year but they're

36:34

still good they're still gonna win their division games that's what good teams do they win their division games and that's

36:39

what the Chiefs done do that's what the Pats did I wasn't alive for for the Niners but I'm sure when the Niners had

36:46

their run that's exactly what they did this is they are the Patriots and I'm

36:52

never going to doubt them this was a shitty stretch for them but they're going to find their way way back easily

36:58

um let's move to probably the second best game of the day um best Feelgood

37:05

story in my opinion Josh dobs comes in after he gets off the plane walks into

37:10

the stadium he's the back up starter goes out they say dobs you're [ __ ] in dude and he wins the game he's Superman

37:20

and you can't help but think the 2017 Vikings lost their

37:25

starter mid way through the season Case Keenum came in and he took them to the NFC Championship now this Vikings team

37:32

was 0 and3 to start the season they're five and four now they're four- one in their last

37:38

five I mean is it possible can we look at that team and say Hey you know Josh dobs might be the guy to get them

37:45

there well Josh dobs is uh undefeated all time in postseason games zero and

37:52

zero Kirk Cousins has what one postseason win as Viking quarterback I

37:58

don't know I mean the bar now is so low and you you bring in Josh dos the

38:04

numbers weren't great I mean and early on it was pretty ugly gave up a safety it was a sack early in the game it was like 53 it was 83 and it was 113 it was

38:13

like this did not profile as the game of the day or one of the games of the day

38:18

but uh but the vik you know what the Vikings went out they got cam acres and he he hasn't really done all that much

38:24

but he actually got a sack to they try to throw a pass um but the

38:31

Vikings now they win a close game they come from behind on the road here's the

38:37

thing the lions are what six and two seven- two six and two I think

38:44

or have a buy we they are on their buy this week it looks it looked like the

38:51

lions were just going to Coast to the division but the Lions and Vikings have yet to face each other so there's a

38:57

chance that the Vikings can actually make a race of the NFC North and uh and

39:03

I think it's a great story for Josh dobs because you know what as bad as the Cardinal record was dos didn't play

39:09

terribly there you know he's got a win against Dallas under his belt of course it's the Cardinal's only win and he has

39:15

a win now in his first start as a viking and I I just look at the other side and this was such an Atlanta loss if you can

39:23

say well Josh jobs comes in he wins his first start who it against oh it was Atlanta and they had a lead late in the

39:29

game all right of course they did well this is this this is the Spider-Man meme the the pointing Spider-Man meme because

39:34

these two franchises are the exact same pretty much I mean you're right I me

39:40

they've never neither have won a Super Bowl of course they these teams met to produce one of the great championship

39:47

games of all time before your time 1998 um Gary Anderson Miss field goal

39:52

game the Vikings were 15- one and and ended up uh you know losing a lot of people think of that as one of the

39:58

greatest teams that didn't win a Super Bowl Atlanta of course went on and got their butts kicked by Denver but the

40:04

Falcons like this was such an opportunity for them in a in an NFC South where first place was 500 going

40:11

into this game Taylor hinaki comes in threw one bad interception that kind of

40:17

turned the game and I they just I don't know the Falcons just don't know what to

40:23

do with a lead and it felt like they were they had this game on multiple

40:30

occasions and uh I can't I mean I can really didn't take them seriously before

40:35

this game but had they won it they're five and four and they're in the thick of it in the NFC South I'd say oh you

40:41

know and I like hinaki you know as I do but this was just a big missed

40:47

opportunity for Atlanta so yeah this is a game that you look back on if Atlanta

40:53

misses out by a game you look back on and say this was the game yeah I mean

40:59

you look at the backups in obviously the Vikings original backup was in you knock

41:05

him out usually that's a death blow for most teams I mean at this point they're on the third string quarterback which is

41:10

Josh dos and I was excited when Minnesota got him he's gonna have some better weapons um KJ Osborne did leave

41:16

the game but Alexander Madison had a big game today and then when you get Jefferson back assuming he's going to

41:22

want to come back um that's going to be another weapon for him but you know Atlanta you're you're a game back now

41:28

when you could be tied and it was the most Atlanta way to lose um the only

41:34

other team I think you compare them to is the Chargers when when the Chargers and the Falcons played a few years ago

41:40

but these two that's the Spider-Man meme yeah yeah this is the NFC Spider-Man Meme and I I would love to see them play

41:47

again in the NFC Championship just because for my own sick mind it' be hilarious but now you're five you're

41:53

five loss Atlanta team at this point if you have five losses it's diffic you're

41:59

not you're probably not winning a division you have to really think about that I mean I don't know if you're gonna

42:04

win that division even if it's the NFC South that's going to be a tough one to win um so this is the one you miss out

42:11

on that's just it's going to be tough to swallow uh jnu Smith was also the leading receiver when you have three

42:18

first round picks on offense and Arthur Smith is this offensive genius yeah

42:23

right come on man get get three of those guys in the mix like Tyler Al Alger I

42:29

think was their leading uh rusher today we got to talk about what happened today the bucks bucks game yeah they

42:38

they lost to the Colts it was hilarious um no problem the CTS were kind of toying with him

42:44

anyway I mean the Colts were incompetent they looked incompetent it was not a

42:49

convincing win in my opinion yeah I actually thought the Bucks played pretty well at least the that

42:58

second quarter I would say they you know started bring things back get things rolling for once they actually looked

43:04

like a team that could run the ball for a couple plays

43:10

um but yeah and they really needed that win if they wanted like any playoff

43:16

chance yeah Rashad white looked Unstoppable for a little while and then he just

43:22

wasn't yeah for some reason like they wouldn't touch him like

43:30

they wouldn't some somebody was somebody's talking outside my door but um yeah uh they just stopped running it

43:37

I didn't understand why um I honestly did think at the end of the half or near

43:43

the end of the fourth quarter I was like oh the Colts are gonna lose this game this is a game the Colts lose all the time they're up big they let the Bucks

43:49

get back into it playing pre-event except we we had a a sack fumble which was awesome so um strip sack we have the

43:56

most strip sacks in the league apparently which is kind of crazy I didn't know that um but we're really

44:01

missing Grover Stewart we need Grover Stewart back in a few weeks so uh but as of right now and up

44:09

until I think Thursday of of this week the Indianapolis Colts are the number seven seed in the in the NFL playoffs um

44:18

and if the season ended right now Roger Goodell said we're not playing any more football right now if there was some

44:23

sort of major tragedy on American soil and they cancel the season the Colts will be going to the playoffs right now

44:29

let's not forget that the Colts are in the playoffs right now so you know if

44:35

that happened at week four you know the Bucks would be like the second seed or something I think if it happened at week

44:43

two week three I want to say week three the Colts would be the Colts would have won the division

44:50

so listen but that that's why we play 17 games why we play 17 but it's a good win

44:55

for for the Colts it's a great win it feels good I kind of you could have predict I honestly could have predicted the Bucs Los in this game because they

45:01

came from the West Coast they're pretty banged up already I think they're going into the buy I want to say this week no

45:08

we already had our buy ours was early oh it was yeah I

45:14

think week five was our by we are you sure about

45:20

that yeah let me see let me see I am with die

45:26

hard yeah they play bu fan so I should know yeah okay

45:31

okay all right all right um actually the Colts will stay in

45:37

the seven seed through Sunday morning because it's an NFC matchup for Thursday

45:44

Night Football so even better that the Colts get to have a playoff spot but

45:49

honestly Colts make the playoffs and that's going to extend Chris Ballard's time in Indianapolis by

45:57

like two years and I don't need that I need somebody who's gonna go out and spend

46:03

money who's gonna go out and spend all the money they have but I know Jim meray won't let it happen so either way I'm

46:09

[ __ ] so we might as well just make the playoffs and it'll be fun um and the Bucks you got to get rid of WS it's time

46:17

well they're gonna let it play out they're gonna let out the rest of the SE they're going to let the rest of the season play out because they're like [ __ ] it we're done um Baker Mayfield

46:24

dropping his shoulder in to linebackers today is both the dumbest and the funnest thing I've ever seen and it's

46:30

ridiculously stupid my God I can't believe in the first half of

46:36

that game that they were on the one yard line and could not get one yard yeah in

46:43

fact they got like negative 15 well they had like a sure touchdown I think on that first well because I was

46:49

watching the game on my phone like I watched like the first drive on my phone and then I got to where I was watching the game and yeah it like look like oh

46:57

man the Bucks are gonna run they went for just a QB sneak up the middle Baker Mayfield gets hurt and then they put

47:03

Kyle Trin for the next three downs and he doesn't do anything and it's like if

47:09

there's any team that's known for rushing for one yard it's the freaking

47:15

bucks just send Rashad white up the middle three times he's gonna get that one yard yeah but yeah and I I I think

47:24

the Colts defensive should be fired too he's [ __ ] horrible he he never blitzes he never blit I mean he feel

47:31

like he rarely blitzes it's crazy and we have like one of the best pass rushes in the league but whatever don't listen to

47:38

me I'm stupid I'm dumb I don't know anything um the Eagles also won today

47:44

leighton's favorite team because they're 10 and one right now um are the Eagles

47:51

the Super Bowl favorite right now because I don't think so who else would be uh the

47:59

49ers Eagles on the 49ers I'm just trying to rile you up I actually do think the Eagles are the best team in

48:04

the league right now because they've won all close games good teams can beat the [ __ ] out of really bad teams and they

48:11

can go in and just beat the [ __ ] out everybody but really good teams know how to win close games against good and bad

48:17

teams you're battle tested I agree I wish that they had more

48:23

clean wins but it's like ESP especially in um this season where it's like you've

48:29

got teams like the Chiefs or Ravens or 49ers these other teams that are really

48:36

good but like the Chiefs are losing games that they should not lose so when

48:41

you know push comes to shove I would anticipate they're not GNA win those

48:47

late playoff matchups or oh the Chiefs are back the Chiefs are back I'm I'm telling you the Chiefs are back right

48:52

now I watch the game I watch the whole game they're absolutely back they're back no their offense is back there

49:00

Travis Kel put up some fantasy points for me for once yeah t Travis had a good day without Taylor which I didn't know

49:06

that was possible but um Taylor I don't know what Taylor's doing but congrats to

49:11

Travis I guess you you proved that Taylor didn't make you right she didn't she didn't create

49:19

Travis Yeah well yeah sitting I'm sitting there with KY and Kiren Williams

49:27

as well on my fantasy team both my team he had [ __ ] 50 points today I'm pretty sure I got he got 45 in our

49:35

league and I am so glad my team is finally popping off just in time for me

49:40

to miss the playoffs don't worry I'm [ __ ] I'm gonna

49:45

be three and 10 I'm gonna be three and 10 I think I still owe you my $30 I don't think yeah

49:52

you do I think I think um yeah it's not good it's it's it's not a it's not a

49:59

good fantasy season for me should I just send it straight to your dad no he's got he's got a tough matchup

50:06

this week coming up he's playing me not a tough matchup but next week he's got a tough matchup against please upset him

50:12

we have to upset because if I win I have three more games left if I win those

50:18

three I'll end seven and seven there's the slimmest possibility that I might be

50:23

able to tie for place and overtake them based off of whatever the if it's points

50:30

for I think I'd win that maybe I have kind of a low points for I have the

50:37

highest is I have the highest points against in that League yeah well um

50:45

anyways no matter what happens it's a good day of football I mean listen that that Eagles Bills game was like game of

50:52

the that was not game of the year but it was like instant classic it's going to be top five games of the Year great game

50:59

fantastic game you could just feel the bills we're going to lose that um but it was a great day football no matter what happens um also anybody listening go

51:07

follow us on threads I know it sounds cringe sounds really cringe yeah Alex is

51:13

on there blowing it up by himself [ __ ] blowing up blowing building a real

51:18

Community getting in arguments too getting accused of being a Chiefs fan

51:24

51:30

a [ __ ] so I don't I don't know he said the he said that Mahomes glazing is

51:35

crazy which it is but that throw that he had on Monday night against C against Philly in that situation on like third

51:41

and 15 he throws it 50 yards in the air drops it into the Bread Basket and it's

51:47

just dropped like that's a throw of the Year under pressure too that was a great

51:54

throw
