15
00:00:47,200 –> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: crazy that we have played We’re gonna play Buffalo fourteen

16
00:00:50,840 –> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: times in thirteen years?

17
00:00:52,920 –> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 3: It’s nuts because if you look back at like when

18
00:00:55,280 –> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: coach eats ten years started here, like in twenty thirteen,

19
00:00:58,200 –> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 3: if I told you the Chiefs and the Bills will

20
00:01:01,000 –> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 3: be like the new Colts and Patriots for ten years.

21
00:01:04,360 –> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: I’m not sure anyone would have believed that always an

22
00:01:07,280 –> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: awesome showdown whenever we played the Bills, whether it’s in

23
00:01:10,160 –> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 3: the regular season or the playoffs. Obviously it’s Mahomes and Allen.

24
00:01:14,160 –> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: I mean, these are the kind of games and the

25
00:01:15,640 –> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 3: kind of matchups we’ll talk about in twenty thirty years.

26
00:01:18,560 –> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 3: Pretty cool. We get to live it.

27
00:01:20,600 –> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: What’s nuts, The Chiefs are four and one in the

28
00:01:23,319 –> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: games at Buffalo since coach Reid has been the head

29
00:01:26,080 –> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: coach here, and four and four in the games at

30
00:01:28,040 –> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: GHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. However, the key wins are

31
00:01:32,319 –> 00:01:36,040
Speaker 1: the playoff wins ah GHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium. With

32
00:01:36,080 –> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: the fact that the Chiefs, I don’t think if you

33
00:01:38,240 –> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: pulled people around of like, what’s the Chiefs record in

34
00:01:41,400 –> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: five games at Buffalo and r Andy Reid, I’m not

35
00:01:44,040 –> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: sure a lot of people would guess four in one.

36
00:01:45,600 –> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 3: I wouldn’t have guessed that either almost had them last

37
00:01:48,560 –> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 3: year too. That’s the thing with these games is they’re

38
00:01:50,800 –> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: almost all close, Like almost all of them come down

39
00:01:53,720 –> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: to like the very final possession. It’s exactly how you’d

40
00:01:56,520 –> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: like kind of imagine it if this was all like

41
00:01:58,720 –> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: a movie or something, and you had these two great

42
00:02:00,840 –> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: quarterbacks and these great teams, and it comes down to

43
00:02:03,480 –> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 3: who has the ball last. I think that trope is

44
00:02:05,800 –> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 3: sometimes like overused, like that doesn’t actually normally happen most

45
00:02:09,160 –> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 3: of the time, But with the Chiefs and Bills it does,

46
00:02:11,520 –> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: and really and just about all of these games, except

47
00:02:14,000 –> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: for maybe a couple, it comes down to the very

48
00:02:16,240 –> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 3: final possession, the final play. That was the case last year.

49
00:02:19,960 –> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: We’ll talk about some of our favorite and least favorite

50
00:02:22,240 –> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 3: Bills memories, but it’s always intense, that’s for sure.

51
00:02:25,440 –> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: And expected to be intense again in Week nine as

52
00:02:29,639 –> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: the Bills take on the Kansas City Chiefs. All right,

53
00:02:31,960 –> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: let’s go around the world to get ready for this one.

54
00:02:33,800 –> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: Around the world now it’s taken a new meeting. Although

55
00:02:36,800 –> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: the Monday night game was the first time in the

56
00:02:39,760 –> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: last four games, I’ve not been stopped at the International

57
00:02:43,160 –> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: Walk really only from my vehicle, okay, to where I

58
00:02:47,200 –> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: go through the gate to get in. It’s the first

59
00:02:49,680 –> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: time really in the last four games I have not

60
00:02:52,120 –> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: been stopped by somebody from around the world to go hey.

61
00:02:55,200 –> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: So I’m just kind of looking around like anybody.

62
00:02:57,320 –> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: Here from like Lithuania, Malaysia.

63
00:02:59,520 –> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, Armenia, yep.

64
00:03:01,440 –> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: I thought there were some Armenians there, but I got

65
00:03:04,040 –> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: to be so they were from America City, Kansas.

66
00:03:07,480 –> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 2: Yeah.

124
00:05:23,880 –> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: Wanted to take a brief moment to remember my aunt Joan. So,

125
00:05:26,720 –> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 3: my aunt Joan passed away last week after some health battles.

126
00:05:30,960 –> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: Her funeral was in Tennessee this past weekend before the game.

127
00:05:35,839 –> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 3: Joan was awesome. She grew up in Tennessee and lived

128
00:05:38,640 –> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: in New York most of her life, and I call

129
00:05:41,279 –> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: her my aunt Joan. She was actually my great aunt,

130
00:05:43,400 –> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 3: but she had no kids of her own, so I

131
00:05:44,880 –> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 3: was kind of like her grandchild, and she was like

132
00:05:46,839 –> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 3: my grandma, and she had no connection or ties to

133
00:05:49,760 –> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: the Chiefs sort of Kansas City except for my mom

134
00:05:51,880 –> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: and I, and she became like the biggest Chiefs fan

135
00:05:54,480 –> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 3: ever and was so into this and would watch our

136
00:05:56,240 –> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 3: shows and do everything and text me after games. I

137
00:05:59,320 –> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 3: know she enjoyed the game against the Commanders from up Pie,

138
00:06:02,640 –> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 3: so Joan, I’m thinking of you. And there was a

139
00:06:05,240 –> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 3: tie in here as well. I did the crazy thing

140
00:06:07,839 –> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 3: where I flew to Nashville on Saturday morning, went to

141
00:06:10,240 –> 00:06:12,720
Speaker 3: the funeral, and then flew back. So I had never

142
00:06:12,760 –> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 3: done that before, where I flew to a place and

143
00:06:14,320 –> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 3: flew back on the same day, but got to see

144
00:06:16,560 –> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: some extended family, many of whom I had never met before,

145
00:06:19,920 –> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: because these are like some cousins of my moms that

146
00:06:22,200 –> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 3: I just never met because they live in Tennessee and

147
00:06:24,480 –> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 3: I had never visited them. Well, I met one of

148
00:06:26,960 –> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 3: them and she said that she had a friend at

149
00:06:30,240 –> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 3: work who kind of found out that I worked for

150
00:06:32,440 –> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 3: the Chiefs and everything, and he’s like, oh, you know,

151
00:06:34,720 –> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 3: she didn’t say my name though, He’s like, oh, I

152
00:06:36,520 –> 00:06:39,479

00:06:49,120 –> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the Franklin, Tennessee area.

159
00:06:52,040 –> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: Sorry for your loss, but grain ants that don’t have

160
00:06:55,640 –> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: children are usually great for spoiling. Oh yeah, the nephews.

161
00:07:00,560 –> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had a great time. Like my sister and I, like,

162
00:07:02,839 –> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 3: we would get these incredible birthday gifts and she would

163
00:07:05,480 –> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: go over the top. She was awesome. She would text

164
00:07:07,440 –> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 3: me all the time after games she loved this run

165
00:07:10,160 –> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 3: of Chiefs football and how happy it made me. So

166
00:07:13,000 –> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 3: she was awesome. And Joan, I’m thinking of you.

167
00:07:15,240 –> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: I have the same kind of great aunt. Great aunt

168
00:07:17,160 –> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: Alvi yep always had like squirt pop and I don’t

169
00:07:22,160 –> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: know if my parents forbade it or not, but if

170
00:07:24,280 –> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: I it was to go stay with them for a

171
00:07:26,840 –> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: time and just attack the squirt pop.

172
00:07:29,760 –> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 2: That’s awesome, crazy bottle.

173
00:07:32,040 –> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: But anyway, it’s the Chiefs and the Bills, and the

174
00:07:34,680 –> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: Chief’s trying to get to six and three. The Bills

175
00:07:37,120 –> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: are trying to get to seven and two. Bills have well.

176
00:07:39,720 –> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: Both the Chiefs and Bills are looking up in their division.

177
00:07:42,840 –> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: The Bills are looking up at the new England Patriots

178
00:07:45,120 –> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: as Mike Vrabel has transformed that team, and of course

179
00:07:48,320 –> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: we have seen the Denver Broncos do some crazy good

180
00:07:52,160 –> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: things here over the past month. But here go the

181
00:07:54,600 –> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs in another showdown game with the Bills on this

182
00:07:57,480 –> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: sunny one. But it makes me think of, oh my gosh,

183
00:08:00,160 –> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: fourteen times we’ve gone there in thirteen years, I mean

184
00:08:03,040 –> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: fourteen times to play them in thirteen years, six time

185
00:08:05,320 –> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: to go there. Last time we will be in this

186
00:08:06,960 –> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: stadium as they’re gonna have their new stadium ready next

187
00:08:09,360 –> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: year and we’re supposed to.

188
00:08:10,120 –> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 2: Go there again next year.

189
00:08:11,160 –> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, so can’t get enough of you know, the lakes.

190
00:08:16,160 –> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: So anyway, here we are with the Bills. But your

191
00:08:19,120 –> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: thoughts on some reminiscing.

192
00:08:21,040 –> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, should we go back and forth on this?

193
00:08:23,280 –> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: Yeah we can.

194
00:08:23,960 –> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: I’ve got Yeah, a couple are obvious, but ones I

195
00:08:26,720 –> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: don’t think not that obvious.

196
00:08:28,080 –> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: What’s your first one?

197
00:08:28,840 –> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: My first one is maybe the second happiest I’ve ever

198
00:08:34,679 –> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 3: been on a non Super Bowl Chiefs game day was

199
00:08:39,080 –> 00:08:42,359
Speaker 3: walking off the field with you in Buffalo in twenty twenty.

200
00:08:42,120 –> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 2: Three divisional loom.

201
00:08:43,640 –> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, I can’t explain the electricity going through

202
00:08:47,240 –> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 3: our bodies walking off that field. So I spot for

203
00:08:51,080 –> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 3: Mitch on the road. And every radio booth is different.

204
00:08:54,120 –> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: So in Kansas City it’s way up high in the

205
00:08:56,160 –> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: press box, there’s like no real communication with the fans

206
00:08:59,240 –> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 3: or interaction. In Buffalo, that’s an old stadium, right, and

207
00:09:02,880 –> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: it kind of feels like a college stadium, and the

208
00:09:04,840 –> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: radio booth is kind of built into the concourse with

209
00:09:08,360 –> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 3: the fans, and there’s a big glass divider between the

210
00:09:12,240 –> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 3: radio booth and like just a whole section of fans.

211
00:09:14,720 –> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 3: And I’m sitting up against this glass divider, and that

212
00:09:19,840 –> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 3: entire game, there is a Bills fan who is trying

213
00:09:22,640 –> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 3: to get my attention. He is doing all kinds of

214
00:09:25,040 –> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 3: things I can’t talk about on this broadcast.

215
00:09:28,120 –> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 2: You know.

216
00:09:28,520 –> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 3: He’s yelling things at me, trying to get my attention.

217
00:09:30,960 –> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 3: Every time the Bills did anything well and the Chiefs

218
00:09:33,200 –> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 3: struggled and did anything poorly, he was letting me hear

219
00:09:35,720 –> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 3: it the entire game. And then the Chiefs win. I

220
00:09:39,600 –> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 3: look over and he’s long gone, and I’m just thinking

221
00:09:42,960 –> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: to myself we did it, and walking from that radio

222
00:09:46,840 –> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: booth and walking onto the field with you and walking

223
00:09:49,280 –> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 3: to the tunnel to go to Chiefs Free Wind was

224
00:09:51,840 –> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 3: just awesome. And you know, so many times you think

225
00:09:55,120 –> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 3: about things in life like how you imagine it isn’t

226
00:09:58,840 –> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 3: how it actually ends up being. Your anticipation is greater

227
00:10:01,400 –> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 3: than the actual payoff. Well, I said this was my

228
00:10:04,000 –> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 3: second favorite. The first one was the AFC title game

229
00:10:06,240 –> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 3: against the Bengals. That was one that I look back on.

230
00:10:08,240 –> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 3: I’m like, man, that still kind of hits when I

231
00:10:09,800 –> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 3: think about it. But that Bill’s game as well. We

232
00:10:12,480 –> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 3: were so fired up for that game and the payoff

233
00:10:15,400 –> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: was such that I’m like, man, that was awesome and

234
00:10:17,640 –> 00:10:19,959
Speaker 3: looking back at it, it still pays off. So yeah,

235
00:10:19,960 –> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: that’s my favorite memory ever against the Bills.

236
00:10:22,440 –> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: That barrier you talk about, which is didn’t used to

237
00:10:25,320 –> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: be there really, so imagine that guy. Imagine that guy

238
00:10:29,480 –> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: being right in front of you. What if you were watching,

239
00:10:32,600 –> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: if you’re watching this podcast and just listening, he would

240
00:10:35,640 –> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: be standing right there in front of you.

241
00:10:37,559 –> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, the whole game, I can’t even so one time.

242
00:10:41,520 –> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: Lenn Dawson, of course, our great legendary quarterback for twenty

243
00:10:45,000 –> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: five years work with him on the broadcast. There were

244
00:10:48,400 –> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: four guys just like right in front of us the

245
00:10:50,280 –> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: whole game. That barrier wasn’t there screaming and wanting Glenn

246
00:10:54,480 –> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: for an autograph. Hey Lenn, autograph super Bowl? You know

247
00:10:57,320 –> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: say super Bowl for MVP and Pro Football Hall of

248
00:10:59,640 –> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: Family and yeah, yeah, Lena. For one half it is

249
00:11:03,360 –> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: wearing me out. Len’s ignoring him as much as they can.

250
00:11:06,559 –> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: Finally he’s had enough. He’s going to sign it. Yeah,

251
00:11:09,000 –> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: so he signs like their program and they immediately turn

252
00:11:12,040 –> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: on him like screw you. Then they got their autograph

253
00:11:16,080 –> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: and that was it. And then they spent the rest

254
00:11:17,400 –> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: of the time just taunting us. And so that barrier

255
00:11:20,400 –> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: actually is more of a buffer than I mean, it’s

256
00:11:24,640 –> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: nuts there. It is like a nineteen seventy two stadium

257
00:11:27,600 –> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: that they’re going to get rid of. But yeah, it’s

258
00:11:30,320 –> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: they yell at you there the whole game. A good

259
00:11:33,760 –> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 1: memory of mine, that’s was the twenty thirteen season. We

260
00:11:37,679 –> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: had to go there and Andy Reid’s first season and

261
00:11:41,320 –> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: beat the Bills with two defensive touchdowns, including a one

262
00:11:44,520 –> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: hundred yard pick six by Sean Smith against Jeff Tool. Yeah,

263
00:11:50,000 –> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: who’s I think in the Bills Ring of Honor.

264
00:11:51,880 –> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 2: I don’t know, we’ll look.

265
00:11:52,760 –> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: He’s he’s ready, I believe.

266
00:11:55,880 –> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.

267
00:11:57,080 –> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: And so yeah, Bruce Smith and it’s like Jeff Toole,

268
00:12:00,320 –> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: So he throws Kelly, Yeah, Jim Kelly, Jeff Tool. They

269
00:12:03,160 –> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: three throws one hundred yard pick six and then Tomba

270
00:12:05,360 –> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: had a scoop and score in that game. Yeah, And

271
00:12:07,600 –> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: so that game put us at nine and oh after

272
00:12:10,480 –> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: we were at two and fourteen. Now we both have

273
00:12:13,000 –> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: eras that we think are gold. And I go back

274
00:12:14,760 –> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: to my childhood much farther than yours. But you love,

275
00:12:17,480 –> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: like the early two thousands, that twenty thirteen season. To me,

276
00:12:21,200 –> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: that in winning that playoff game in twenty fifteen were

277
00:12:23,640 –> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 1: just cathartic because we started nine and oh after being

278
00:12:26,720 –> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: two and fourteen, and we won at Buffalo and it.

279
00:12:29,480 –> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: Was a gritty, gutty win.

280
00:12:30,679 –> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: We didn’t do much on offense, but those two defensive touchdowns,

281
00:12:34,040 –> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: and I remember going, yeah, like we’re not terrible anymore.

282
00:12:37,280 –> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: In fack, we’re undefeated after nine games. And we had

283
00:12:39,600 –> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: a bye week right after that, just like this game,

284
00:12:42,080 –> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: flying home from Buffalo with a win and getting ready

285
00:12:46,000 –> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: for a bye.

286
00:12:46,559 –> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 2: So that was one of those forgotten games. That’s a

287
00:12:49,080 –> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: great memory.

288
00:12:50,040 –> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 3: What I remember about that game is that was my

289
00:12:52,800 –> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 3: sophomore year of college. I think, wow, And well, my

290
00:12:56,360 –> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 3: freshman year was the two and fourteen year, and coming

291
00:13:00,679 –> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: into that season in twenty twelve, we actually had a

292
00:13:03,320 –> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 3: lot of hope and energy, right because we were getting

293
00:13:06,240 –> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 3: some guys back. Felt pretty good about it. Well, I

294
00:13:10,920 –> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 3: went to Miszoo and there’s actually not a lot of

295
00:13:12,960 –> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 3: Kansas City people at Missoo. It’s a lot of Chicago people,

296
00:13:15,400 –> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 3: Saint Louis people, Dallas people, not a lot of Chiefs

297
00:13:18,600 –> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 3: fans at Missoo. And I was mister Chiefs Fan guides

298
00:13:21,679 –> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: wearing my jersey, wearing my Chief’s suresey, all that stuff.

299
00:13:25,200 –> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 3: And there was one other guy there with me who

300
00:13:27,760 –> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 3: was from Kansas City, from Warrensburg actually, but kind of

301
00:13:30,040 –> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 3: like associated with Kansas City. And we watched every game,

302
00:13:33,760 –> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 3: every second of the two and fourteen season, and all

303
00:13:36,080 –> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 3: of our friends are just like throwing fruits and vegetables

304
00:13:38,960 –> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 3: at us. It’s hurling insults and it’s making fun of us,

305
00:13:41,160 –> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 3: and we’re just taking all of it. And yeah, that

306
00:13:43,520 –> 00:13:46,719
Speaker 3: nine and oh start of twenty thirteen, that was like retribution.

307
00:13:46,960 –> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 3: It was awesome. We were just insufferable. And I remember

308
00:13:49,320 –> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 3: that Sean Smith picked six like yesterday off Jeff Tool.

309
00:13:53,360 –> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: I also watched every moment of that in fourteen season.

310
00:13:56,080 –> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, you do it. I I was broadcasting it. I

311
00:14:00,240 –> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: had vegetables thrown at me too. So much fun.

312
00:14:02,960 –> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I can’t quite imagine doing this and

313
00:14:05,880 –> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: Chiefs rewind and everything like that. That’s why you’ve earned this,

314
00:14:08,800 –> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 3: my friend. All Right, I’ll give you some more obvious ones.

315
00:14:12,800 –> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 3: Another awesome one. How about just last year? You know,

316
00:14:16,280 –> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 3: last year was something special and it’s tough. The thirteen

317
00:14:19,680 –> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 3: seconds game falls in this bucket as well, which obviously

318
00:14:22,240 –> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 3: is part of all this. That when the season doesn’t

319
00:14:25,080 –> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 3: end with the championship in this era of Chiefs football,

320
00:14:28,920 –> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 3: it’s kind of crazy to say it, but we kind

321
00:14:30,560 –> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 3: of just forget about it, right, I mean, we move

322
00:14:32,440 –> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: on because Patrick Mahomes standard would say that season was

323
00:14:35,960 –> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 3: a failure, even if it’s not necessarily a black and

324
00:14:38,280 –> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: white failure. But we don’t really talk about that win

325
00:14:40,960 –> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 3: last year in the AFC Championship game because we lost

326
00:14:43,200 –> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. Well, that game was still pretty awesome,

327
00:14:46,360 –> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 3: and I found myself at times during the offseason, if

328
00:14:48,880 –> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 3: it was on TV or I was just on YouTube

329
00:14:51,640 –> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 3: and saw some highlights from it, and I’m like, man,

330
00:14:53,880 –> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: that game was pretty cool. That game was pretty special,

331
00:14:56,560 –> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 3: and the Chiefs did a pretty awesome thing winning that game.

332
00:15:00,160 –> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 3: There’s a picture in the hallway around the corner from

333
00:15:02,680 –> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 3: our studio of George hitting Josh Allen when allen’sletting go

334
00:15:06,880 –> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 3: of the football and fourth down. It’s like an unbelievable picture.

335
00:15:10,760 –> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 3: I mean, Allen’s airborne, George’s airborne. To Allen’s credit, he

336
00:15:14,400 –> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: got the ball off and was it a Dawson Knox

337
00:15:17,480 –> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 3: almost caught it or was it Yeah, Dalton Kincaid almost

338
00:15:20,360 –> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 3: caught it. Just an incredible football game and incredible win

339
00:15:25,400 –> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 3: by the Chiefs to get that win didn’t end in

340
00:15:28,600 –> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl Championship, but a phenomenal back and forth game,

341
00:15:32,000 –> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 3: and for the Chiefs to win that game, that was

342
00:15:33,600 –> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: a big deal. So that’s up there for me as well.

343
00:15:36,840 –> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, the win in twenty twenty to get to Super

344
00:15:40,200 –> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty five now didn’t end well, but to win

345
00:15:43,000 –> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: the AFC Championship game in the COVID year has a

346
00:15:47,160 –> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 1: special meaning just because of that year was so rough.

347
00:15:50,840 –> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: Getting your nose swabbed and not you know, thinking, don’t

348
00:15:54,240 –> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: get Mahomes sick, don’t get Kelsey sick or coach sick.

349
00:15:56,800 –> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: And then yet we win the AFC Championship game thirty

350
00:16:00,360 –> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: to twenty four against a really good Bills team. And

351
00:16:03,320 –> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 1: I just remember that moment of thinking of kind of

352
00:16:06,120 –> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: persevering and fighting through it. And then there’s the photo

353
00:16:09,440 –> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: of Stefan Diggs who did not leave the field. He

354
00:16:11,920 –> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: sat there and watched our celebration. Yeah, as we got

355
00:16:14,520 –> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: the Lamara Hunt Trophy. And then I’ll just translate real

356
00:16:18,040 –> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: quick to negatives would be the next year when Stefon

357
00:16:22,320 –> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: Diggs is parading around in his uniform right behind our

358
00:16:25,960 –> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: broadcast location for Chiefs Rewind. He’s getting off like the

359
00:16:29,960 –> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: elevator that goes up to the broadcast suite.

360
00:16:34,080 –> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: Remember that.

361
00:16:34,600 –> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was walking around his uniform like what are

362
00:16:36,240 –> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: you doing, dude, Like get out of here.

363
00:16:37,840 –> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 4: Yeah.

364
00:16:38,120 –> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: So that was after that was like the rain game,

365
00:16:40,200 –> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 3: right the delay and yeah, yeah, well.

366
00:16:42,440 –> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: That’s and that was the same night. I’m getting my

367
00:16:44,400 –> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: games mixed up here, but that was me my other

368
00:16:47,200 –> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: because I had royals in the booth. We had royals

369
00:16:49,680 –> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: in the booth. We had Salvador Perez and Niki Lopez. Yeah,

370
00:16:52,480 –> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: and we’re getting crushed. Yeah, they’re blowing us out and

371
00:16:56,000 –> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: I’m trying to fill time with these guys and they’re like, wow,

372
00:16:58,160 –> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: I thought this was supposed to be kind of a

373
00:16:59,400 –> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: cool deal.

374
00:17:00,960 –> 00:17:04,679
Speaker 3: We were just it was brutal. Yeah, that one’s up

375
00:17:04,720 –> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 3: there for me. The number one least favorite has to

376
00:17:07,200 –> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 3: be the one where we had the miraculous Kelsey walk

377
00:17:10,960 –> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 3: off lateral to Cadarius and uh called back. I mean

378
00:17:15,359 –> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 3: that was just such a buzzkill for so many reasons.

379
00:17:18,240 –> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: And you know what I remember about that though, I

380
00:17:22,320 –> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 3: just listen. I try to be positive about everything, and

381
00:17:26,119 –> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 3: that happened. I’m just like, that was a huge bummer.

382
00:17:29,520 –> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 3: That really really thinks. Man, we had it, then we didn’t.

383
00:17:33,400 –> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: Uh.

384
00:17:33,960 –> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 3: What’s funny though, is I will not reveal who this

385
00:17:37,040 –> 00:17:39,479
Speaker 3: staff member is, but I remember the next morning. I

386
00:17:39,560 –> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 3: was in at work on Monday and I was getting

387
00:17:42,400 –> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 3: some coffee and uh, other staff member comes in and

388
00:17:46,400 –> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 3: we’re just chatting about the game and everyone’s just kind

389
00:17:48,600 –> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 3: of down right and they look at me and they say, listen,

390
00:17:51,040 –> 00:17:54,000
Speaker 3: it’s just not our year, and I’m like, well, listen,

391
00:17:54,040 –> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 3: I mean It’s one game in November, and I mean

392
00:17:57,440 –> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 3: we were right there with them. It took this crazy

393
00:17:59,160 –> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 3: fluke play to lose. Should have won, like I don’t know, uh,

394
00:18:01,880 –> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 3: And we won the super Bowl. So that’s the that’s

395
00:18:03,960 –> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: the silver lining of that one is that was a

396
00:18:05,640 –> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 3: real bummer. But I look back on that season for me,

397
00:18:09,160 –> 00:18:11,439
Speaker 3: the early struggles this year. I looked back on twenty

398
00:18:11,560 –> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 3: twenty three thinking this team has gone through a lot

399
00:18:13,920 –> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 3: of adverse things before and situations where it’s like, man,

400
00:18:17,119 –> 00:18:19,200
Speaker 3: how do you come back from that? And they did.

401
00:18:19,440 –> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 3: So that’s why the Chiefs at any point in the year,

402
00:18:22,400 –> 00:18:24,360
Speaker 3: they can be struggling and I can say, Okay, I’ve

403
00:18:24,359 –> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: seen this story before and they’ve come out pretty good

404
00:18:26,600 –> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 3: on the other side. But the morning after that game

405
00:18:30,119 –> 00:18:31,479
Speaker 3: was pretty tough, I’ll be honest.

406
00:18:32,280 –> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: But winning that divisional playoff game in twenty three, yeah,

407
00:18:36,840 –> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: the whole narrative was Pad mccons hey, he can’t win

408
00:18:39,480 –> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: playoff games in the road.

409
00:18:40,640 –> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: You remember that. That was the whole week narrative, never

410
00:18:42,440 –> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 2: playing pass shop.

411
00:18:43,200 –> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 3: No fault of his own. He had never played one.

412
00:18:45,080 –> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: It was interesting way how we entered the plane. He’s

413
00:18:47,119 –> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: like the first guy saw when I got on the plane,

414
00:18:49,080 –> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: I go, oh, I guess you can’t win playoff games

415
00:18:50,880 –> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: on the road anyway. So I think we took care

416
00:18:53,040 –> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 1: of that, didn’t we. Now we got to go to

417
00:18:54,680 –> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: Baltimore the next week, but.

418
00:18:56,119 –> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 2: In one and one. That was cool.

419
00:18:57,440 –> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 3: So yeah, anyway, and then won the Super Bowl.

420
00:18:59,520 –> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: We’re going to talk about this year’s game, but let’s

421
00:19:03,160 –> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: just have a guest here on defending the kingdom of

422
00:19:06,119 –> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: one of this year’s players.

423
00:19:08,080 –> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 3: All right, We’re joined now by a guy who filled

424
00:19:09,920 –> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 3: the stat sheet on Monday nights, Mike Dana. Mike, what’s

425
00:19:12,600 –> 00:19:12,960

00:19:17,320 –> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 3: been performing overall?

429
00:19:19,160 –> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: Question?

430
00:19:19,600 –> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 3: How much fun are you guys having on defense right now,

431
00:19:21,960 –> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 3: particularly with how you played in the second half last week?

432
00:19:24,160 –> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 5: Man, man, we have it so much fun. You know

433
00:19:26,359 –> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 5: a lot of guys are you know, getting to the ball.

434
00:19:29,040 –> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 5: We’re playing with the energy that’s you know that that

435
00:19:31,920 –> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 5: wasn’t there at the beginning, but now we were hitting

436
00:19:33,880 –> 00:19:36,199
Speaker 5: this strive. We’re hitting a point to where you know,

437
00:19:36,280 –> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 5: guys are leaning on each other. Guys are you know,

438
00:19:38,920 –> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 5: holding each other accountable, pushing and pulling and you know,

439
00:19:42,400 –> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 5: the atmosphere before the game is so fun. Man. You know,

440
00:19:45,160 –> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 5: just being in that in that moment. But you know,

441
00:19:47,600 –> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 5: everybody’s waiting for their opportunity, man, and that’s what you

442
00:19:50,040 –> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 5: like to see. Guys are just ready to you know,

443
00:19:52,520 –> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 5: rock and roll, ready for you know, whenever their numbers called,

444
00:19:55,440 –> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 5: and you know, playing as a unit.

445
00:19:57,000 –> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 2: Man.

446
00:19:57,240 –> 00:20:01,440
Speaker 5: All three levels, D line linebacker and uh DB’s all

447
00:20:01,480 –> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 5: complimentary football, man, it all matters well.

448
00:20:04,160 –> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 3: Speaking of opportunities and being ready for them. You had

449
00:20:06,560 –> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: a few on Monday when I ask you about the

450
00:20:08,840 –> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 3: sack and the interception. We’ll start with the interception though.

451
00:20:11,920 –> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: Washington’s moving right down the field and then the ball

452
00:20:14,359 –> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 3: goes off of Deebo’s chest and you’re right there, walk

453
00:20:16,800 –> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 3: me through that.

454
00:20:17,480 –> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 5: Man, that ball was in slow motion and I just knew.

455
00:20:19,800 –> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 5: I just told myself to catch the rock and you know,

456
00:20:22,920 –> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 5: try to get as many yards as I can. But no, man,

457
00:20:25,680 –> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 5: that moment, you know, that’s just you know, opportunity and

458
00:20:28,840 –> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 5: you know, running to the ball, hustling to the ball,

459
00:20:30,720 –> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 5: something we pride ourselves every day on defense, you know,

460
00:20:33,480 –> 00:20:36,679
Speaker 5: So that was just you know, tips and overthrows me

461
00:20:36,800 –> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 5: running to the ball, just hustling man, I was gifted

462
00:20:39,960 –> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 5: won in my hands, and you know, I’m just glad

463
00:20:42,359 –> 00:20:43,239
Speaker 5: I held on to it.

464
00:20:43,280 –> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 3: Man, Like, afterward, did you black out a little bit?

465
00:20:45,440 –> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 2: Like? Definitely, Yeah, I.

466
00:20:46,320 –> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 5: Held as long as I saw the ball and after

467
00:20:49,480 –> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 5: I caught it and I knew I secured the catch

468
00:20:51,440 –> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 5: up black oh for sure. So you know that was

469
00:20:54,080 –> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 5: an awesome feeling. Man, that was Those are the ones

470
00:20:56,720 –> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 5: you know you’ll remember and tell you know, your family,

471
00:20:59,680 –> 00:21:01,439
Speaker 5: your friends, your kids, stuff like that.

472
00:21:01,480 –> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I want set the tone for the rest

473
00:21:02,960 –> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 3: of the game.

474
00:21:03,880 –> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 2: Now.

475
00:21:04,000 –> 00:21:05,960
Speaker 3: I want to ask about the sack because football is

476
00:21:06,040 –> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 3: usually really complicated and then sometimes it’s not. They just

477
00:21:08,920 –> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 3: forget to block you and you’re just right there. I mean,

478
00:21:11,400 –> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 3: you just like going after How amazing is that?

479
00:21:14,280 –> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: Right? When you see when you.

480
00:21:15,680 –> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 5: Get those man, the hardest those are sometimes the hardest

481
00:21:18,480 –> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 5: ones because you know you’re unblocked, your eyes get big,

482
00:21:21,320 –> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 5: You’re like, oh, this is the perfect time. Soon as

483
00:21:23,400 –> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 5: you you know, get off the ball and stuff. But

484
00:21:25,720 –> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 5: you know had to make the lay up. Man. You know, those,

485
00:21:28,280 –> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 5: like I said, those are the hardest ones. The quarterback

486
00:21:30,440 –> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 5: has a you know a good chance of trying to

487
00:21:32,680 –> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 5: you know, dip or dodge or try to make a move.

488
00:21:34,800 –> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 5: But you know sometimes you just got to come to balance,

489
00:21:37,400 –> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 5: come under control, and you know, make the play, make

490
00:21:40,560 –> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 5: the layup, and you know, celebrate with the team.

491
00:21:42,720 –> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 3: And Mario it’s pretty slippery. It’s just funny. He’s going

492
00:21:45,359 –> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 3: like this and you’re like, Nope, not gonna happen.

493
00:21:47,280 –> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 5: He’s Mary heads off to him. Man, he’s been doing

494
00:21:49,680 –> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 5: this for a long time and he knows how to

495
00:21:51,400 –> 00:21:54,400
Speaker 5: get out of chaos and you know, he knows how

496
00:21:54,400 –> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 5: to break tackles. He’s slippery, man. You know, a guy

497
00:21:57,560 –> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 5: like him is not easy to bring down. So so this.

498
00:22:00,640 –> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 3: Is the number two scoring defense in the NFL now,

499
00:22:03,080 –> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 3: just playing really well as a unit. And it goes

500
00:22:05,480 –> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 3: back to Spags at the end of the day. What’s

501
00:22:07,400 –> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 3: it like playing for coach SPACs Man.

502
00:22:09,000 –> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 5: I’ve been saying that since day one. He’s a magician.

503
00:22:11,359 –> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 3: Man.

504
00:22:11,840 –> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 5: When you need something, he always pulls something out of

505
00:22:14,520 –> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 5: his pocket, you know, to stop the run or the past.

506
00:22:17,359 –> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 5: But you know, playing with a guy like him, man,

507
00:22:19,720 –> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 5: you love it. You know, he’s a faith driven guy

508
00:22:21,680 –> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 5: and everything he believes is about you know, faith and

509
00:22:24,840 –> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 5: trusting each other. And you know that’s the biggest thing

510
00:22:27,480 –> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 5: you develop. Trusting these guys, you can put them out

511
00:22:30,119 –> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 5: on the field or you know, that’s why our whole units,

512
00:22:32,640 –> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 5: you know, based off of you know, building off faith, principles,

513
00:22:36,080 –> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 5: or you know, just being disciplined.

514
00:22:37,640 –> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 2: You know, has off.

515
00:22:38,840 –> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 5: I got a lot of love for Spags man, you know,

516
00:22:40,600 –> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 5: the way he runs things, the way he operates, you know,

517
00:22:43,400 –> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 5: and the way he like holdes guys accountable like he’s

518
00:22:46,080 –> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 5: he’s one of the coaches. I’m definitely, like, you know,

519
00:22:48,080 –> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 5: forever grateful for.

520
00:22:49,600 –> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 3: And last question, getting ready for Buffalo obviously, Josh Allen

521
00:22:53,000 –> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 3: high powered offense. How can we slow down Buffalo here

522
00:22:55,560 –> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 3: on Sunday?

523
00:22:56,080 –> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 5: Man, you know, hats off to them. Also, you know

524
00:22:58,119 –> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 5: they got the number one rushing offense league, so they’re

525
00:23:00,960 –> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 5: doing something over there. You know, a lot of teams

526
00:23:02,880 –> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 5: are struggling with but you know it’s just a makes

527
00:23:05,240 –> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 5: of the run in the past, you know, and you

528
00:23:07,160 –> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 5: know as easy or as well both hearts it, you know,

529
00:23:11,920 –> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 5: containing Josh Allen and you know Cook is you know

530
00:23:15,280 –> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 5: hard and it’s going to be a challenge for our defense.

531
00:23:17,520 –> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 5: But you know we’re looking forward to the challenge man,

532
00:23:19,880 –> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 5: and going to Buffalo in a you know, crucial environment atmosphere,

533
00:23:23,400 –> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 5: and you know we’re looking for it to the challenge.

534
00:23:25,960 –> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 3: This has been the best defense in football over the

535
00:23:27,880 –> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 3: last several years. This guy who’s a big reason why

536
00:23:29,920 –> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 3: I appreciate Mike.

537
00:23:31,080 –> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 2: Thank you man.

538
00:23:32,359 –> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: So we’ve reminisced about the years past and the frequency

539
00:23:37,680 –> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: of playing Buffalo. This year’s game, yeah, I think is

540
00:23:40,280 –> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: really interesting, as they all are, and you’re right, it’s

541
00:23:43,040 –> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 1: going to be close coming up on Sunday afternoon late.

542
00:23:46,520 –> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: But it’s interesting how Buffalo has changed their approach in

543
00:23:49,960 –> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 1: these thirteen years, especially over these last four or five.

544
00:23:54,520 –> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: They to me have gone through the changes that the

545
00:23:57,040 –> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs went through in the twenty two and twenty three.

546
00:24:01,000 –> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 1: This is a team that’s very run centric. Nobody runs

547
00:24:03,760 –> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: the ball more than these guys when you look at

548
00:24:06,600 –> 00:24:09,399
Speaker 1: the decision to run the ball. We know about James

549
00:24:09,400 –> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: Cook and how good he has been, but they’re number

550
00:24:11,200 –> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: one in the league in time of possession thirty three

551
00:24:13,359 –> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 1: minutes and fifteen seconds. They’re last in the league in

552
00:24:16,240 –> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: quarterback rating of throws of twenty yards or more. Wow,

553
00:24:19,640 –> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: that was the discussion about the Chiefs and what’s wrong

554
00:24:24,080 –> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: with Patrick Mahomes. Well, they just change the way they’re playing,

555
00:24:26,720 –> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 1: and the Bills to me, have changed the way they’ve

556
00:24:28,640 –> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: played and they want to keep that defense off the field.

557
00:24:32,440 –> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: That’s what I’m seeing in these guys.

558
00:24:34,040 –> 00:24:36,400
Speaker 3: I think when you have like a blue chip quarterback

559
00:24:36,440 –> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 3: like they do, you got to at some point have

560
00:24:38,200 –> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 3: to go through a metamorphosis where if the guy doesn’t

561
00:24:41,280 –> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 3: have fifty touchdowns, but you’re finding ways to move the

562
00:24:44,560 –> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 3: ball effectively, that’s okay. And I think, yeah, the Chiefs

563
00:24:47,440 –> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 3: went through that over time, and nationally because of like

564
00:24:50,720 –> 00:24:54,239
Speaker 3: fantasy football, people are like, well, what’s wrong with Josh Allen. Well,

565
00:24:54,240 –> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 3: maybe nothing’s wrong with them. It’s just they’re finding ways

566
00:24:56,359 –> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 3: to move the football. And maybe if they have a

567
00:24:58,200 –> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 3: really capable run game, that make some even more dangerous,

568
00:25:01,200 –> 00:25:03,640
Speaker 3: right because you have to respect both facets of their offense.

569
00:25:04,480 –> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 3: James Cook has been a revelation this year. The Bills

570
00:25:08,119 –> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 3: lead the NFL in rushing yards this season with fifty one,

571
00:25:12,520 –> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 3: and that’s despite playing one fewer game than most everyone else.

572
00:25:15,280 –> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 3: They’ve already had their buy this year. They average thirty

573
00:25:18,000 –> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 3: one rushing attempts per game, like you referenced, and Cook

574
00:25:21,400 –> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 3: is averaging nearly six yards per carry. So if you

575
00:25:24,720 –> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 3: look at their games this year, look at Carolina last week.

576
00:25:27,520 –> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 3: Like when Cook is really rolling, they’re really difficult to

577
00:25:30,200 –> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: stop because Josh Allen is Josh Allen, right, But if

578
00:25:33,080 –> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 3: you can stop the run game, you have a much

579
00:25:35,560 –> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 3: better shot at it. And if you look at the

580
00:25:37,080 –> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 3: Falcons game earlier this year, the Falcons did a pretty

581
00:25:39,600 –> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 3: good job defensively against James Cook and conversely, the Falcons

582
00:25:42,920 –> 00:25:45,920
Speaker 3: ran the ball really well. So in this game, that’s

583
00:25:45,920 –> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 3: the number one thing for the Chiefs. You got to

584
00:25:47,640 –> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 3: stop James Cook and this rushing attack. Maybe they still

585
00:25:50,840 –> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 3: get some big plays here and there. Cook’s a really

586
00:25:53,400 –> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: good player. He’ll have his but you can’t let him

587
00:25:55,560 –> 00:25:57,640
Speaker 3: take over the game. And to the Chiefs credit, they’ve

588
00:25:57,640 –> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 3: been great against opposing running backs this year. About a

589
00:26:00,320 –> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 3: couple weeks ago, Ashton Genty coming in completely shut him down.

590
00:26:03,680 –> 00:26:07,719
Speaker 3: Total non factor. Last week against Krossky Merritt, total nonfactor.

591
00:26:07,760 –> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 3: I mean, he was the guy going in and we’re like, hey,

592
00:26:09,600 –> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 3: got to make sure we slow him down, and we did.

593
00:26:11,880 –> 00:26:14,679
Speaker 3: He had twenty five rushing yards on nine carries. Not

594
00:26:14,720 –> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: sure you can quite get that kind of limitation on

595
00:26:17,080 –> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 3: a player like James Cook, but still keep him under

596
00:26:19,680 –> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 3: like eighty rushing yards. You have a great shot.

597
00:26:23,119 –> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 2: Okay.

598
00:26:23,800 –> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: The offensive line we talked about James Cook, and the

599
00:26:27,359 –> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: discussion would be guysh who’s the best running back going

600
00:26:30,440 –> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: into twenty twenty five and sa Kwon Barkley after the

601
00:26:33,359 –> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: incredible year that he had last year, and Riot and

602
00:26:35,440 –> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and what we’ve seen going on in Indianapolis.

603
00:26:39,440 –> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: But the offensive line for the Buffalo Bills deserve mention here.

604
00:26:43,480 –> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: Of the two hundred and sixteen yards that Cook had

605
00:26:46,640 –> 00:26:50,439
Speaker 1: in the game against Carolina, one hundred forty one of

606
00:26:50,480 –> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: the two hundred and sixteen were before contact.

607
00:26:53,680 –> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 4: Wow.

608
00:26:54,440 –> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: One for one of the two sixteen were before James

609
00:26:58,320 –> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 1: Cook was contacted. That’s the third most in the last

610
00:27:02,000 –> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: seven seasons in the National Football League. So, Dion Dawkins,

611
00:27:05,880 –> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown, the pride of lenox Iowa.

612
00:27:07,920 –> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 3: You love Spencer Brown.

613
00:27:08,760 –> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, lenox Iowa right right on the Missouri Iowa border.

614
00:27:12,640 –> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern go down the line, oh science, Terrence Torrance,

615
00:27:16,640 –> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: I should say so.

616
00:27:18,960 –> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 2: The offensive line, James Cook. These guys can get big runs.

617
00:27:22,840 –> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: They’ve got eight runs of twenty yards or more, but

618
00:27:26,400 –> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: you flip it around, they’ve also allowed eight runs of

619
00:27:30,119 –> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: twenty yards and more. That’s to your point, because teams

620
00:27:32,680 –> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: have been able to run on them and get big

621
00:27:34,600 –> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 1: running plays, and only Dallas, Miami and the Giants have

622
00:27:39,440 –> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: allowed more ten plus runs. The Bills have allowed thirty

623
00:27:42,800 –> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: three runs of ten yards or more and eight, as

624
00:27:45,560 –> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 1: I mentioned, twenty plus runs, which negates the eight that

625
00:27:49,400 –> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: they’ve had with.

626
00:27:50,320 –> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 2: Cook and others. And so this is interesting.

627
00:27:53,119 –> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: Defensively, they’re in a transition as well at Olive ours out,

628
00:27:56,160 –> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: so they’ve got to deal with that. But this is

629
00:27:58,240 –> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: an offense that wants to stay on the field, have

630
00:28:00,400 –> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: the ball, run centric, use the tight ends, RPO game.

631
00:28:04,000 –> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: They’ll take shots at Shakir and going down the field.

632
00:28:06,640 –> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: But this is a Buffalo team that This isn’t Stefan

633
00:28:09,240 –> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: Diggs running double move routes and Josh Allen humming it

634
00:28:13,600 –> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 1: down the field. This is a buff and if they’re effective,

635
00:28:16,240 –> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: I’m not being critical. They’ve just changed and they’re changing

636
00:28:19,359 –> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: I think a little bit to protect that defense.

637
00:28:21,640 –> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 3: Now, one area that isn’t necessarily a positive for them

638
00:28:24,600 –> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 3: that is different this year, and it’s not necessarily a

639
00:28:27,600 –> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 3: fault of their own. It’s just total randomness as they’re

640
00:28:29,880 –> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 3: not getting the turnovers.

641
00:28:31,000 –> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 2: I know you were going there.

642
00:28:31,920 –> 00:28:34,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, because if you look at it, they lets

643
00:28:34,359 –> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 3: look at their turn on But nobody talked about this

644
00:28:36,080 –> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 3: last year. No one talked about it except for us.

645
00:28:37,920 –> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 3: We talked about it. They have eight takeaways this year,

646
00:28:41,040 –> 00:28:43,239
Speaker 3: but sixteenth in the NFL. That’s not bad. I mean,

647
00:28:43,240 –> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 3: the Chiefs have nine takeaways. They’re right in the middle

648
00:28:45,240 –> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 3: of the pack. They’re plus two on the season in

649
00:28:47,400 –> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 3: terms of giveaway takeaway. Again not bad. But look at

650
00:28:50,480 –> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 3: last year there were plus twenty four in giveaway takeaway and.

651
00:28:54,080 –> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: Matt they had thirty two takeaways.

652
00:28:55,840 –> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 3: Crazy and they never turned it over themselves prtly ever,

653
00:28:58,600 –> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 3: And we talked about this before the AFC Championship game.

654
00:29:01,600 –> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 3: If you looked at like their point distribution, like forty

655
00:29:04,640 –> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 3: percent of their points last year were following takeaways. It

656
00:29:07,920 –> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: was an absurd, like unsustainable number. And the whole point

657
00:29:11,280 –> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 3: was just don’t turn the ball over against them and

658
00:29:13,240 –> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: you have a great shot. Well that’s a random kind

659
00:29:15,720 –> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 3: of thing that’s going to change from season to season.

660
00:29:18,200 –> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 3: And for then this year, again like they’re not turning

661
00:29:20,560 –> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 3: the ball over a bunch. They had five giveaways and

662
00:29:23,120 –> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 3: their two losses, so hopefully create a few of those,

663
00:29:26,040 –> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 3: but they’re not really turning the ball over a whole

664
00:29:27,760 –> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 3: bunch consistently. But they’re also not really forcing them. So

665
00:29:30,480 –> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 3: it’s kind of more of a level playing field, right,

666
00:29:32,520 –> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 3: And when it’s a level playing field, a play here

667
00:29:35,480 –> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 3: or a play there can totally change the game if

668
00:29:37,640 –> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 3: you’re the Chiefs. So in this game, let’s keep that going.

669
00:29:40,280 –> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 3: Let’s create a few takeaways of our own and not

670
00:29:42,280 –> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: turn the football over and knock on wood, the Chiefs

671
00:29:45,040 –> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 3: have been great about not turning the football over this season,

672
00:29:47,640 –> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 3: only two giveaways all year going into Monday. Now, Monday

673
00:29:51,360 –> 00:29:53,720
Speaker 3: was kind of weird. The two interceptions to begin the

674
00:29:53,760 –> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 3: game was bizarre. Don’t think that’s going to happen too often,

675
00:29:57,880 –> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 3: But don’t turn the ball over against these guys. And

676
00:29:59,760 –> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 3: I think about the game of Buffalo last year, the

677
00:30:02,080 –> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 3: opening drive for the Chiefs kind of a broken play

678
00:30:04,920 –> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 3: and they picked off Mahomes in the very first series.

679
00:30:08,040 –> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 3: Can’t let that happen here in this game, because every

680
00:30:10,040 –> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 3: drive matters well.

681
00:30:12,000 –> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: And I remember the Greg Russeau interception and epines Is intercepted,

682
00:30:16,400 –> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 1: and when Epinessa had it against Carolina. Remember I texted

683
00:30:18,880 –> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: you ago this looks familiar. Andy, don’t know what happened

684
00:30:21,640 –> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: to the ball. What happened the ball was just eating

685
00:30:23,040 –> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: out of the sky yea. But to your point, last

686
00:30:24,960 –> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: year they only had eight giveaways. That was the lowest

687
00:30:26,880 –> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: in six years in the National Football League. And these

688
00:30:30,400 –> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 1: guys this year have been like your high cap stocks

689
00:30:34,760 –> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: the first four games, averaging thirty three points a game.

690
00:30:37,840 –> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: They everaged seventeen per game in their two game dip,

691
00:30:41,640 –> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: and then forty against Carolina. So it looks like the

692
00:30:44,440 –> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: stock market here a little bit. But again, it’s just

693
00:30:46,880 –> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: a Buffalo team that is different. Good, but different, and

694
00:30:50,920 –> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: they like the Chiefs. We’re looking up at the Broncos

695
00:30:53,160 –> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: in the AFC West and here’s New England. Now that’s

696
00:30:55,280 –> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: a factor in their life that they really haven’t had

697
00:30:57,600 –> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: to deal with in these five years they’ve won the AFC.

698
00:31:00,360 –> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: I think the Bills, I’m sorry, AFC East.

699
00:31:02,200 –> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 3: The Bills and their fans are like New England. You

700
00:31:04,440 –> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 3: were supposed to go away for twenty years. This is

701
00:31:07,080 –> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 3: our time, now get out of here, live us twenty years.

702
00:31:10,000 –> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 3: Just give us twenty You’re not supposed to find like

703
00:31:12,160 –> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 3: a really good quarterback this soon after having Tom Brady

704
00:31:15,360 –> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 3: Drake May is a good player. And you know, when

705
00:31:18,120 –> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 3: you’re thinking about year in and year out, the Bills

706
00:31:20,440 –> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 3: are always kind of competing for that one seed with

707
00:31:22,400 –> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 3: the Chiefs. Kind of glad you got a good team

708
00:31:24,400 –> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 3: in the AFC East. Now to give them a hard time,

709
00:31:26,560 –> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 3: I’m okay with it.

710
00:31:27,920 –> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: Well, speaking of the AFC West, we saw the Broncos

711
00:31:32,720 –> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: put a forty burger on their opponent. We saw the

712
00:31:37,000 –> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: Chargers be really effective on Thursday Night football, and the

713
00:31:39,440 –> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: Raiders were affected because they didn’t play all right, they

714
00:31:42,200 –> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: had a bye week.

715
00:31:43,240 –> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 2: So what Ari wolf is our man.

716
00:31:45,360 –> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: He’s our sleuth that is keeping an eye not only

717
00:31:49,000 –> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: on the whole league, but for sure on the AFC West.

718
00:31:52,400 –> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 4: Hello and welcome everyone to week nine edition of Out

719
00:31:55,440 –> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 4: West with Ri Wolfe and looking forward to talking about

720
00:31:57,880 –> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 4: the state of the NFL, particularly theme AFC wes with

721
00:32:00,920 –> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 4: my friend Matt McMullen. Matt, let’s start at the top.

722
00:32:04,720 –> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 4: The Denver Broncos with arguably their most complete win of

723
00:32:07,840 –> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 4: the season. They’ve now won five in a row. They

724
00:32:10,720 –> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 4: played complimentary football. Nicks was solid, Dobbins was solid. They

725
00:32:17,280 –> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 4: do lose Patrick’s certain and that could be key. Looking forward.

726
00:32:22,520 –> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 4: But it’s hard now to look at the Broncos at

727
00:32:24,600 –> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 4: sixty two and not say these guys are for real.

728
00:32:27,040 –> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 4: I think for a while it was like when they

729
00:32:28,520 –> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 4: keep finding these miracle ways. But I thought it was

730
00:32:31,080 –> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 4: a pretty complete performance from the Broncos.

731
00:32:34,080 –> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were dominant on Sunday. And before I jump

732
00:32:36,920 –> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 3: into it, forgive me if I seemed like my mind

733
00:32:38,840 –> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 3: is wondering, because I was one of those people that

734
00:32:40,720 –> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 3: stayed up until two am Centrol to watch the Dodgers

735
00:32:43,320 –> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 3: Blue Jays game. And you should have.

736
00:32:45,200 –> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 4: I mean, one of the most epic World Series games

737
00:32:47,520 –> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 4: of all time. And we talked to Otani last week

738
00:32:50,120 –> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 4: what he did last night. I was on base eight

739
00:32:52,680 –> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 4: but nine times eight or nine, say.

740
00:32:54,960 –> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 3: Well, I just love that the Blue Jays were like, no,

741
00:32:57,160 –> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 3: you’re not going to beat us. Nope, nope, go to

742
00:32:59,280 –> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 3: first base every single time, even if it meant like

743
00:33:01,480 –> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 3: loading the bases or whatever else, like, nop, you’re not

744
00:33:04,360 –> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 3: gonna beat us.

745
00:33:05,320 –> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I’m older. The only time I can remember that

746
00:33:07,120 –> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 4: happening when Barry Bobs was in his heyday with the

747
00:33:10,000 –> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 4: Giants and they would just walk them them otter the situation.

748
00:33:13,240 –> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 4: I didn’t think it was if you, you know, if

749
00:33:15,600 –> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 4: pahe ever got on as the nine guy, it’s like,

750
00:33:18,720 –> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 4: are you then gonna walk them and put the winning

751
00:33:21,160 –> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 4: run on second base? Like that would have been you know,

752
00:33:23,880 –> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 4: that would have been like off the charts crazy to

753
00:33:26,400 –> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 4: do that. Well, let’s let’s get back. If you’re a

754
00:33:29,600 –> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 4: little out of it today, understand what who’s the World Series?

755
00:33:32,480 –> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 4: Back to the Broncos. I’m starting to believe that this

756
00:33:35,360 –> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 4: team is pretty much for real. I’m not saying that

757
00:33:37,080 –> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 4: they’re gonna win the AFC West, but they’re gonna contend

758
00:33:39,640 –> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 4: for the division.

759
00:33:40,800 –> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

760
00:33:41,080 –> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 3: To your point, I mean, I think it was fair

761
00:33:42,920 –> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 3: to look at some of their wins earlier this year

762
00:33:45,080 –> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 3: and say, all right, like that kind of recipe isn’t sustainable,

763
00:33:48,560 –> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 3: Like having these miracle runs in the fourth quarter against

764
00:33:51,200 –> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 3: the Eagles and a couple of weeks ago against the Giants.

765
00:33:54,560 –> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 3: You can’t do that every single week. And to their

766
00:33:56,360 –> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 3: credit against the team that I actually think is pretty good,

767
00:33:58,880 –> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 3: especially offensively and the Cowboys, I mean, they dominated that game.

768
00:34:03,280 –> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 3: Nicks bounced back from the interception on their first drive,

769
00:34:06,440 –> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 3: had an early nice game through four touchdowns, They were

770
00:34:08,800 –> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 3: four for five in the red zone on Sunday and R. J.

771
00:34:11,600 –> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 3: Harvey might be a dude, he’s a good player, and

772
00:34:14,320 –> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 3: that combination with Dobbins, I mean, that’s kind of what

773
00:34:16,719 –> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 3: they’re built around, is they’re going to run the football,

774
00:34:19,040 –> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 3: and when they do so effectively, kind of opens everything

775
00:34:21,520 –> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 3: up for Nicks for the Chiefs in a couple of

776
00:34:23,440 –> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 3: weeks when we see the Broncos, that’s the top priority

777
00:34:26,120 –> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 3: is slowing down that combination of Harvey and Dobbins because

778
00:34:29,160 –> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 3: you can’t let Knicks have the full passing game at

779
00:34:31,520 –> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 3: his disposal with the running game working as well. And

780
00:34:34,480 –> 00:34:36,920
Speaker 3: that defense played really well against the Cowboys last week,

781
00:34:36,920 –> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 3: again a very good opponent. But you’re right about Sartain.

782
00:34:39,239 –> 00:34:40,799
Speaker 3: Let’s keep an eye on that because that’s a very

783
00:34:40,840 –> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 3: big deal if he misses significant time.

784
00:34:43,239 –> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 4: Yes, all right, Next up the Thursday night game. The

785
00:34:46,760 –> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 4: Chargers man handled the Vikings. I mean they physically beat

786
00:34:51,680 –> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 4: them up. I’m going to talk about Carson Wentz in

787
00:34:55,360 –> 00:34:57,840
Speaker 4: my final affought, so I’m not going to blaguer how

788
00:34:58,480 –> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 4: just how badly I fell from the game. But Herbert

789
00:35:01,840 –> 00:35:04,919
Speaker 4: quarterback rating close to one twenty three, maybe his best

790
00:35:04,920 –> 00:35:07,400
Speaker 4: game of the season. The defense only allows one hundred

791
00:35:07,440 –> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 4: and sixty four yards. They look like what the Chargers

792
00:35:11,640 –> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 4: want to look like under Jim Harbaugh. They found that

793
00:35:14,440 –> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 4: balance right. It wasn’t harbad just slinging it around. And

794
00:35:17,640 –> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 4: I know they’re depleted at running back, but they looked

795
00:35:19,719 –> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 4: pretty balanced. And getting Joe all back was a huge difference.

796
00:35:24,480 –> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 4: I mean, their protection was better, Herbert wasn’t getting hit

797
00:35:27,320 –> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 4: all night. For all the teams at the top of

798
00:35:31,120 –> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 4: the AFC West, the top three teams were dominant this weekend.

799
00:35:35,160 –> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 4: What was your takeaway from the Chargers performance.

800
00:35:37,880 –> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 3: Well, you mentioned how they’re depleted at running back, and

801
00:35:40,040 –> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 3: that’s true, but Camani Vidologists comes out there and rushes

802
00:35:43,000 –> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 3: for one hundred and seventeen yards. A couple of friends

803
00:35:46,360 –> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 3: of mine we’re texting me like, did the Chargers have

804
00:35:48,360 –> 00:35:51,080
Speaker 3: Earl Campbell on their team? Just running dudes over the

805
00:35:51,440 –> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 3: And also there was a lot of times where he

806
00:35:53,560 –> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 3: was untouched for five or six yards, just blowing the

807
00:35:56,400 –> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 3: Vikings off the line. Really impressive performance by him. Curious

808
00:36:00,600 –> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 3: to see if he can keep that going. The Chargers

809
00:36:02,560 –> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 3: just find a way of like finding these guys who

810
00:36:04,880 –> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 3: can just turn into like one hundred yard running backs

811
00:36:06,880 –> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 3: every single night. The pressure numbers are interesting because watching

812
00:36:10,680 –> 00:36:12,919
Speaker 3: the game, it did feel like Herbert really wasn’t under

813
00:36:12,960 –> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 3: pressure at all, like the Vikings couldn’t get any push.

814
00:36:15,640 –> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 3: I went back and looked at the Pro Football Focus

815
00:36:17,640 –> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 3: like pressure numbers. So the Vikings blitzed him on seventy

816
00:36:20,719 –> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 3: percent of his dropbacks like classic Brian Flores, right, And

817
00:36:24,120 –> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 3: according to them, they got pressure on sixty five percent

818
00:36:26,960 –> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 3: of his dropbacks. But he was surgical, I mean, he

819
00:36:29,440 –> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 3: it looked like he was unfhased. He was awesome in

820
00:36:32,640 –> 00:36:34,640
Speaker 3: that game and dominant. I mean, the Vikings were never

821
00:36:34,680 –> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 3: really in it. So I think kind of what we

822
00:36:37,320 –> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 3: predicted took place, where the Vikings are going to blitz

823
00:36:40,120 –> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 3: him into oblivion. To his credit, he consistently was finding

824
00:36:42,920 –> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 3: ways to get the ball out of his hand and

825
00:36:45,160 –> 00:36:48,280
Speaker 3: was just unfazed by that blitz. So they looked excellent.

826
00:36:48,520 –> 00:36:50,600
Speaker 3: On Thursday, I was fired up to watch some Thursday

827
00:36:50,640 –> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 3: night football and rooted against the Chargers, and the Vikings

828
00:36:53,440 –> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 3: had to ruin it for me.

829
00:36:55,120 –> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it did not go well for them all right,

830
00:36:57,600 –> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 4: the Raiders were off, so we don’t have to talk

831
00:36:59,480 –> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 4: about them. We’re gonna go to my game of last week.

832
00:37:03,120 –> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 4: And when I tell you what it is. It tells

833
00:37:05,000 –> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 4: you in terms of competitiveness. It was the worst week

834
00:37:09,000 –> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 4: of the NFL season. I mean, there really were almost

835
00:37:11,160 –> 00:37:13,719
Speaker 4: no good games at all, Like everybody was winning by

836
00:37:13,760 –> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 4: double digits, with the exception of the winless New York Jets,

837
00:37:18,880 –> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 4: who rally at the start they were down thirty one sixteen.

838
00:37:22,800 –> 00:37:24,759
Speaker 4: At the end of three, they beat a Bengals team

839
00:37:24,800 –> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 4: that we talked last week could be dangerous if Flackell

840
00:37:28,640 –> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 4: was able to string together enough wins to get Joe

841
00:37:31,560 –> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 4: Burrow involved, and then you got to worry about the Bengals.

842
00:37:34,800 –> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 4: So the Jets thing really resonated with me because I

843
00:37:38,000 –> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 4: felt great empathy for a guy justin Fields, who I

844
00:37:40,160 –> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 4: don’t necessarily have any feeling stores He’s just a guy

845
00:37:42,960 –> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 4: in the league. But the way he played down the stretch.

846
00:37:47,040 –> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 4: I mean, his numbers were pretty good. He threw for

847
00:37:48,760 –> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 4: two hundred and forty four yards, he had a quarterback

848
00:37:50,880 –> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 4: rating in ninety ninety. Also rushed for thirty one yards.

849
00:37:53,719 –> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 4: But if you saw his comments after the game where

850
00:37:56,360 –> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 4: he acknowledged that he basically was a broken man during

851
00:37:59,080 –> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 4: the week, felt like the owner had basically disparaged him.

852
00:38:02,440 –> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 4: So you know what, I take if I had a

853
00:38:04,320 –> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 4: had to take it off, Justin Fields, You’re not going

854
00:38:06,920 –> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 4: to be a team that goes winless this season. So

855
00:38:09,560 –> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 4: congratulations to the Jets and Justin Field, and I hope

856
00:38:12,640 –> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 4: this is a lesson for their owner. This is not

857
00:38:15,239 –> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 4: how you treat players in the NFL.

858
00:38:17,680 –> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 3: I thought it was very cool that Field’s been out

859
00:38:19,640 –> 00:38:22,360
Speaker 3: there and played really well. You know, I’m guilty of

860
00:38:22,400 –> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 3: this sometimes too, particularly with these players that I don’t

861
00:38:25,080 –> 00:38:27,880
Speaker 3: know on other teams. But it’s easy to look at

862
00:38:27,920 –> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 3: a guy like Justin Fields and look at his career

863
00:38:30,320 –> 00:38:32,520
Speaker 3: and be like that, this guy has struggled, you know,

864
00:38:32,680 –> 00:38:34,760
Speaker 3: not kind of what people expected when he was drafted

865
00:38:34,800 –> 00:38:37,359
Speaker 3: in the first round. It’s easy to forget that they’re

866
00:38:37,440 –> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 3: human beings, though, with hopes and dreams and aspirations and

867
00:38:40,960 –> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 3: goals for themselves. And I don’t think anyone is more

868
00:38:44,080 –> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 3: disappointed in his performance than he is during his career, right,

869
00:38:47,520 –> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 3: So for him to go out there despite everything kind

870
00:38:50,040 –> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 3: of going on around him on a winless team and

871
00:38:53,160 –> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 3: to beat a Bengals team that is coming off a

872
00:38:55,560 –> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 3: big win the previous week, it’s pretty cool, especially considering

873
00:39:00,080 –> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 3: I mean they were down thirty one to sixteen in

874
00:39:02,600 –> 00:39:05,800
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter, and then a Jets offense that can’t

875
00:39:05,800 –> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 3: score at all all season rips off three straight touchdown

876
00:39:09,200 –> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 3: drives to win the game. Just super cool. And also

877
00:39:12,520 –> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 3: with the whole Nick Mangol thing going on, this is

878
00:39:15,719 –> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 3: where like I kind of buy into the universe impacting sports, right,

879
00:39:22,680 –> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 3: because I mean, what are the odds. I mean, a

880
00:39:24,960 –> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 3: guy like Nick Mangold, who was such a great representative

881
00:39:27,280 –> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 3: of the NFL, a great representative of the Jets for

882
00:39:29,520 –> 00:39:34,720
Speaker 3: so many years, has a tragic sudden passing so young, right,

883
00:39:34,840 –> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 3: And I know, at the end of the day, this

884
00:39:37,640 –> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 3: is just a game, right, But for the Jets to

885
00:39:39,760 –> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 3: go out there and to play in a lot of

886
00:39:42,719 –> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 3: ways for him, you know, win for him, just very

887
00:39:46,280 –> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 3: very cool. Can’t overlook stuff like that. So I thought

888
00:39:49,040 –> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 3: it was awesome the Jets got their first win on

889
00:39:51,400 –> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 3: Sunday of all days.

890
00:39:52,920 –> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 4: Yep, all right, let’s go to what’s coming up for

891
00:39:55,560 –> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 4: the AFC West. Coming up, I’m going to start Chargers

892
00:39:59,719 –> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 4: at Titans, which looks like a layup. Here’s what’s interesting

893
00:40:03,920 –> 00:40:06,280
Speaker 4: to me. So if you look at the Chargers schedule,

894
00:40:06,280 –> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 4: there at Tennessee, which we think is winnable home against Pittsburgh,

895
00:40:10,480 –> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 4: which they’ll be favored in. I mean, Pittsburgh’s not an

896
00:40:12,960 –> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 4: easy out. At Jacksonville, the Chiefs did learn, not necessarily

897
00:40:16,960 –> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 4: an easy place to women. I’m guessing they’ll be favored

898
00:40:19,200 –> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 4: in that game, then home against the Raiders, so then

899
00:40:24,000 –> 00:40:26,680
Speaker 4: they’ve got the Eagles at home, and then they’ve got

900
00:40:26,680 –> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 4: to go two kse But to me, it’s reasonable to

901
00:40:29,200 –> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 4: think that heading into that home Eagles game, the Chargers

902
00:40:32,160 –> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 4: could be nine to three. And the reason I bring

903
00:40:34,239 –> 00:40:36,880
Speaker 4: this up is just it’s great to feel great in

904
00:40:37,000 –> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 4: Chiefs Kingdom. It’s looking good, but there’s no room here

905
00:40:40,560 –> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 4: for a letup, right because the other significant teams have

906
00:40:44,440 –> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 4: pretty soft schedules coming up. So this just seems like

907
00:40:47,800 –> 00:40:49,839
Speaker 4: a walk in the park. It’s the NFL, who knows

908
00:40:49,840 –> 00:40:52,080
Speaker 4: what can happen. But you know, I’ve watched a bunch

909
00:40:52,120 –> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 4: of the Titans game. I know we both got a

910
00:40:53,880 –> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 4: little bit in love with them when they won in Arizona.

911
00:40:56,239 –> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 4: But at Tennessee right now, it seems like a very

912
00:40:59,440 –> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 4: winnable game. And for a Chargers team that at the

913
00:41:01,920 –> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 4: least appears their offensive line is going to get healthier

914
00:41:04,440 –> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 4: and healthier as we go.

915
00:41:06,320 –> 00:41:09,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, maybe I should try the reverse jinks

916
00:41:09,360 –> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 3: here where I keep trying to find ways that maybe

917
00:41:12,320 –> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 3: these teams who I don’t think are going to beat

918
00:41:14,120 –> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 3: the Chargers or Broncos, I kind of find ways maybe

919
00:41:16,560 –> 00:41:20,440
Speaker 3: they can do it. Looking at the numbers here, the

920
00:41:20,480 –> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 3: Titans just kind of leave a lot to be desired

921
00:41:23,040 –> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 3: so far this season. And I expect the Chargers running

922
00:41:27,040 –> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 3: game and vital that probably have another big game. But

923
00:41:30,600 –> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 3: it is the NFL. It is any given Sunday, and

924
00:41:33,160 –> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 3: as we saw with the Jets and the Bengals, you

925
00:41:34,880 –> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 3: never know what can happen on any given game day.

926
00:41:37,400 –> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 3: You know, It’s funny when you look at like future opponents,

927
00:41:42,400 –> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 3: you can say, well, you know, their schedule’s pretty light.

928
00:41:44,560 –> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 3: These teams aren’t playing well, and that’s true, but I

929
00:41:46,640 –> 00:41:48,839
Speaker 3: could say the same for some teams that they’ve lost

930
00:41:48,840 –> 00:41:50,799
Speaker 3: to already. I mean, did anyone think they’d lose to

931
00:41:50,840 –> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 3: the Giants earlier this year? Look at Buffalo, right, I

932
00:41:54,520 –> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 3: mean Buffalo look at their schedule and it’s like, man,

933
00:41:56,600 –> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 3: that’s a pretty soft schedule, but they lose games that

934
00:41:58,920 –> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 3: you don’t expect them to lose. So you never really know.

935
00:42:01,080 –> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 3: In the NFL. Maybe the Titans will surprise us, but

936
00:42:03,840 –> 00:42:06,919
Speaker 3: I’m with you, at least on paper, the Chargers are

937
00:42:07,000 –> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 3: definitely the team that I would expect to win this game.

938
00:42:09,600 –> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 4: Well, any given Sunday is an expression for a real reason.

939
00:42:12,960 –> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 4: Anything can happen on any given Sunday. Next up the

940
00:42:15,800 –> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 4: Broncos in a Texans team that has certainly underwhelmed so far.

941
00:42:19,080 –> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 4: So the Broncos going as a favorite. So they’re at

942
00:42:22,800 –> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 4: the Texans. Let me see who I got it. My

943
00:42:25,440 –> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 4: handwriting is so bad sometimes I can’t even read it.

944
00:42:27,760 –> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 2: Oh.

945
00:42:27,880 –> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 4: Then they’re home against the Raiders. Conceivable. When they meet

946
00:42:31,200 –> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 4: the Chiefs, they’re eight and two again any given Sunday,

947
00:42:36,239 –> 00:42:37,799
Speaker 4: But you know, if they can go down and take

948
00:42:37,800 –> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 4: care of the Texans, I don’t think anybody’s scared of

949
00:42:40,320 –> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 4: the Raiders the Broncos at eight and two. I scolded

950
00:42:46,120 –> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 4: Sean Payton on this very show at the beginning for

951
00:42:49,040 –> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 4: creating way too high on an expectation for the Broncos. Now, look,

952
00:42:52,040 –> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 4: bo Nix is still not Drew Brees, but the totality

953
00:42:55,560 –> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 4: of the football team is pretty good. So the thought

954
00:42:58,760 –> 00:43:01,439
Speaker 4: that when the Chiefs playing, they’re eight and two never hated.

955
00:43:01,560 –> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 4: The Chiefs get to play him twice more, right, So

956
00:43:03,520 –> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 4: right there, that could be the two losses and they

957
00:43:05,520 –> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 4: flip spots. But the Broncos have put themselves in a

958
00:43:08,680 –> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 4: very nice spot, especially leading into a game against the Texans,

959
00:43:11,880 –> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 4: team that frankly has underachieved.

960
00:43:14,480 –> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, I’ll be honest, though, I do have

961
00:43:16,719 –> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 3: more faith in the Texans maybe beating the Broncos than

962
00:43:19,160 –> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 3: I do with the Titans beating the charge.

963
00:43:20,719 –> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 4: Just another Is this another time where you’re trying to

964
00:43:22,760 –> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 4: convince yourself.

965
00:43:23,680 –> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 3: That this one I’m actually buying into. I take it

966
00:43:26,920 –> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 3: with a grain of salt. I do professionally root against

967
00:43:29,239 –> 00:43:32,839
Speaker 3: the Broncos and Chargers. But the Texans, as underwhelming as

968
00:43:32,880 –> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 3: they’ve been, they’re coming off a game that I don’t

969
00:43:34,760 –> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 3: think many expected them to win against the Niners, and

970
00:43:37,719 –> 00:43:39,840
Speaker 3: their defense continues to be good. I mean, this is

971
00:43:39,840 –> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 3: the number one scoring defense in the NFL, only allowing

972
00:43:43,000 –> 00:43:46,520
Speaker 3: like fifteen points per game. So if they can come

973
00:43:46,560 –> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 3: into this game and get after bo Nicks, maybe get

974
00:43:49,400 –> 00:43:51,760
Speaker 3: some turnovers, and if Stroud can look like the player

975
00:43:51,800 –> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 3: we all thought he would look like this year, we

976
00:43:54,080 –> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 3: know it’s still in there. Right against the Broncos defense,

977
00:43:57,480 –> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 3: that could be down Patrick Sartain. They’ve got a So

978
00:44:00,640 –> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 3: this to me has the makings of like a rock

979
00:44:03,040 –> 00:44:05,520
Speaker 3: fight kind of game. I could see this being like

980
00:44:06,400 –> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 3: sixteen thirteen or something. And if the Texans can keep

981
00:44:10,160 –> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 3: the Broncos offense and check, I think they have a

982
00:44:11,760 –> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 3: real chance. When the Broncos are playing like they were

983
00:44:14,680 –> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 3: last week against the Cowboys, they’re just about impossible to

984
00:44:17,360 –> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 3: beat because that defense is legit. And if they’re running

985
00:44:19,880 –> 00:44:22,359
Speaker 3: the football super effectively, Knicks is throwing the ball well,

986
00:44:22,520 –> 00:44:24,200
Speaker 3: very tough to beat. But if you can stop that

987
00:44:24,280 –> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 3: running game, which I think the Texans might be able

988
00:44:26,280 –> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 3: to do, forced Knicks may be into some mistakes and

989
00:44:28,960 –> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 3: then Stroud can look like the guy that we all

990
00:44:30,680 –> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 3: know he can be. They got a shot. Maybe this

991
00:44:33,280 –> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 3: is me just doing the jink stuff again. I don’t know,

992
00:44:35,120 –> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 3: but I believe I like it. Let’s get it done, Taxons.

993
00:44:38,600 –> 00:44:41,920
Speaker 4: The Jags at the Raiders. Raiders coming off of bye,

994
00:44:42,480 –> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 4: What if any significant changes do you potentially see from

995
00:44:46,320 –> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 4: the Raiders? Is this a winnable game against an inconsistent

996
00:44:49,760 –> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 4: Jags team? And I think the Jags team has been

997
00:44:52,280 –> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 4: really up and down at times. They certainly haven’t figured

998
00:44:55,320 –> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 4: out the magic formua for Travis Hunter, Trevor Lawrence is

999
00:44:59,680 –> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 4: just have an Okay, you’re at best. Is this a

1000
00:45:02,560 –> 00:45:04,279
Speaker 4: chance for the Raiders to get right at home?

1001
00:45:04,920 –> 00:45:06,160
Speaker 3: Is brock Bowers coming back?

1002
00:45:07,120 –> 00:45:08,640
Speaker 4: I don’t know the answer to that today. I feel

1003
00:45:08,640 –> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 4: like all the injury reports don’t come out usually till

1004
00:45:10,760 –> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 4: Wednesday to know if he’s a full participant.

1005
00:45:13,200 –> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 3: So the answer to that question will be the answer

1006
00:45:15,360 –> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 3: to your question. I think if brock Bars is back,

1007
00:45:18,320 –> 00:45:20,440
Speaker 3: they got a shot because that guy is a monster

1008
00:45:20,640 –> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 3: and every time I’ve ever watched him play football, I

1009
00:45:23,000 –> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 3: mean he stands out like that dude is better than

1010
00:45:25,239 –> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 3: everyone else on the field. If he doesn’t play, I

1011
00:45:27,680 –> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 3: have a hard time believing they can get it done,

1012
00:45:29,920 –> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 3: just because you look at what the Jags have done

1013
00:45:32,080 –> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 3: all year defensively is take the football away. They’ve lived

1014
00:45:34,680 –> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 3: off turnovers, and the Raiders offensively, all they’ve done this

1015
00:45:38,120 –> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 3: season is turn the football over. So it kind of

1016
00:45:40,239 –> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 3: seems like a recipe for disaster for the Raiders. But

1017
00:45:42,680 –> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 3: if Brock Bauers plays, I mean that guy is a

1018
00:45:45,120 –> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 3: game changer in every sense of the word. So if

1019
00:45:47,760 –> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 3: he plays, I actually think they have a chance. You know,

1020
00:45:50,080 –> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 3: maybe you have the bye week, you have a chance

1021
00:45:51,840 –> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 3: to kind of readjust and get your footing a little bit.

1022
00:45:54,600 –> 00:45:56,360
Speaker 3: Last time we saw the Raiders, I mean, it was

1023
00:45:56,360 –> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 3: one of the most dominant performances by any team against

1024
00:45:59,080 –> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 3: an opponent and history. They just really struggled. But if

1025
00:46:02,440 –> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 3: Bowers is back, he changes things. Curious to see where

1026
00:46:05,120 –> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 3: the Jags go from here, because you could tell they

1027
00:46:07,600 –> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 3: poured like everything into that game against us, and to

1028
00:46:10,320 –> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 3: their credit, they won it. But they’re zero to two

1029
00:46:12,520 –> 00:46:14,439
Speaker 3: since that game. So do they get back on track

1030
00:46:14,480 –> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 3: here against the Raiders. We’ll see, But I’ll be watching

1031
00:46:17,200 –> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 3: that uh Bowers availability a week because that might impact

1032
00:46:20,600 –> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 3: my answer.

1033
00:46:21,680 –> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 4: Got all right to the best upcoming game of the week.

1034
00:46:24,760 –> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 4: It’s no secret it’s the Chiefs at the Bills. I

1035
00:46:26,960 –> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 4: know I try to stay away from the Chiefs. Could

1036
00:46:28,920 –> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 4: you guys talk about but this one is just too

1037
00:46:30,760 –> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 4: juicy to not talk about on out West. This one

1038
00:46:34,320 –> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 4: really is a little bit different in the sense it’s

1039
00:46:37,239 –> 00:46:40,360
Speaker 4: the time of the season that it comes, and it’s

1040
00:46:40,400 –> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 4: it’s sort of like the perfect measuring stick right of

1041
00:46:43,040 –> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 4: where both teams are. Because if you’d have had this

1042
00:46:45,160 –> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 4: conversation week two, it looked like everyone thought Buffalo is

1043
00:46:48,760 –> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 4: going to the Super Bowl, and that the Chiefs were done.

1044
00:46:51,640 –> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 2: Well.

1045
00:46:51,840 –> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 4: Here we are ween it’s week nine. It seems there’s

1046
00:46:54,520 –> 00:46:57,280
Speaker 4: actually more questions about the Bills and the Chiefs, despite

1047
00:46:57,320 –> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 4: the fact that the Bills have a better record, because

1048
00:46:59,760 –> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 4: they’ll way the Bills have looked over the last month.

1049
00:47:02,920 –> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 4: Anytime you have Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, they’re both

1050
00:47:05,600 –> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 4: MVP candidates. I realize that’s a side show, but I

1051
00:47:09,960 –> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 4: do think Patrick wants that MVP. I think that he

1052
00:47:13,040 –> 00:47:14,839
Speaker 4: wants to re establish I think he’s gotten a little

1053
00:47:14,880 –> 00:47:18,680
Speaker 4: tired of hearing about Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson. I

1054
00:47:18,800 –> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 4: just think that he keeps receipts. I think we all

1055
00:47:21,280 –> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 4: know Patrick keeps receipts. He doesn’t necessarily talk about it

1056
00:47:24,160 –> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 4: all the time, but I think he keeps receipts. This

1057
00:47:27,040 –> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 4: seems to be a statement game, and Grant only counts

1058
00:47:29,920 –> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 4: this one game, but in a rivalry like this, it

1059
00:47:32,920 –> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 4: just feels like so much is on the line, not

1060
00:47:35,160 –> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 4: just for this game this season, but ultimately how these

1061
00:47:37,800 –> 00:47:41,160
Speaker 4: franchises are judged during the Mahomes in the Allen era.

1062
00:47:41,280 –> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 4: If you can’t tell I’m excited about it, tell me,

1063
00:47:44,880 –> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 4: what are some of the things you’re thinking about heading

1064
00:47:46,719 –> 00:47:47,480
Speaker 4: into this match.

1065
00:47:47,920 –> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 3: Well, what an opportunity this is for the Chiefs, right,

1066
00:47:50,640 –> 00:47:53,880
Speaker 3: I mean, and I’m with you, what a roller coaster

1067
00:47:53,920 –> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 3: of a season this has been so far where the

1068
00:47:55,600 –> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 3: Chiefs start zero to two, and you know, you and

1069
00:47:58,680 –> 00:48:01,160
Speaker 3: I and Mitch, we knew that we had a team

1070
00:48:01,200 –> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 3: that was going to compete and be there in the end.

1071
00:48:04,040 –> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 3: But still, I mean, you start zero to two, that’s

1072
00:48:06,000 –> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 3: a hole you got to dig out of. And the

1073
00:48:07,320 –> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 3: Chiefs created that hole for themselves. Well, to their credit,

1074
00:48:09,880 –> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 3: they’ve now won five of six and they’ve beat teams

1075
00:48:12,680 –> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 3: like Detroit. They beat the Ravens when they still had

1076
00:48:15,000 –> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson. People forget about that beating good football teams

1077
00:48:18,880 –> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 3: and also beating the teams that they’re supposed to beat convincingly.

1078
00:48:22,239 –> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 3: I mean, think about the game against the Commanders. They

1079
00:48:24,160 –> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 3: end up winning that game by three touchdowns.

1080
00:48:26,000 –> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 2: Right.

1081
00:48:26,719 –> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 3: The offense looks as good as it’s looked in years.

1082
00:48:29,239 –> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 3: The defense, even though it’s not necessarily looking super exciting

1083
00:48:33,440 –> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 3: all the time, like in the first half against Washington,

1084
00:48:35,880 –> 00:48:37,759
Speaker 3: Washington’s moving down the field. But at the end of

1085
00:48:37,800 –> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 3: the day, the Chiefs allow seven points to the Commanders.

1086
00:48:40,360 –> 00:48:42,000
Speaker 3: I mean this has been kind of the deal every

1087
00:48:42,040 –> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 3: single week. This team’s playing great football right now, and

1088
00:48:45,080 –> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 3: like you said, you have a chance to go into

1089
00:48:46,600 –> 00:48:48,839
Speaker 3: Buffalo now and play against a team that you think

1090
00:48:48,920 –> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 3: might be with you at the end of the season.

1091
00:48:50,719 –> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 3: And it’s a great opportunity, like you said, for to

1092
00:48:52,920 –> 00:48:55,120
Speaker 3: kind of measure where you’re at. And the bye week

1093
00:48:55,160 –> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 3: is right after this. So if the Chiefs can go

1094
00:48:57,280 –> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 3: into Buffalo, win this game and then go into the Bio,

1095
00:49:00,600 –> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 3: I mean, think about how you’ll kind of be viewing

1096
00:49:03,200 –> 00:49:05,799
Speaker 3: the season at this point, particularly when you compare it

1097
00:49:05,840 –> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 3: to how the season began. So you’ve a chance to

1098
00:49:08,520 –> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 3: be six and three going into the bybe getting ready

1099
00:49:10,520 –> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 3: for the second half of the year. Just an awesome opportunity.

1100
00:49:13,040 –> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 3: It’s always tough against Buffalo. Josh Allen is Josh Allen.

1101
00:49:17,160 –> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 3: James Cook is having an incredible season, which and I

1102
00:49:19,680 –> 00:49:21,760
Speaker 3: have been talking about that. I mean, he’s been awesome

1103
00:49:21,880 –> 00:49:24,280
Speaker 3: this year. Second in the league in rushing right now.

1104
00:49:24,520 –> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 3: The Bills are really committing, they’re running the football and

1105
00:49:26,600 –> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 3: they’re doing so effectively. But losing Ed Oliver is a

1106
00:49:29,560 –> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 3: big deal. Like the Bills did in the back the

1107
00:49:32,280 –> 00:49:34,319
Speaker 3: middle of their defense. I could argue he’s their best

1108
00:49:34,360 –> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 3: defensive player, so losing him impacts things quite a bit.

1109
00:49:37,360 –> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 3: I expect this game will come down to the final minute,

1110
00:49:39,640 –> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 3: as it always does. Hopefully the Chiefs come out on top.

1111
00:49:42,880 –> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 4: One final note, I hope you remember a couple of

1112
00:49:45,160 –> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 4: years ago when the Chiefs had to go on the

1113
00:49:46,880 –> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 4: road in the playoffs. I remember when our texting and

1114
00:49:50,440 –> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 4: I assured you I said, winning on the road in

1115
00:49:52,840 –> 00:49:55,080
Speaker 4: the playoffs is more fun than winning at home. And

1116
00:49:55,120 –> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 4: that’s not to disparage all the wonderful people who are

1117
00:49:57,680 –> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 4: an arrow hit. But when you work for an organization

1118
00:50:00,600 –> 00:50:02,279
Speaker 4: and you go to one of the hardest places to

1119
00:50:02,320 –> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 4: play and you win, that collective group gets on that plane.

1120
00:50:06,040 –> 00:50:09,319
Speaker 4: It’s a feeling like no other. So here’s the opportunity.

1121
00:50:09,640 –> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 4: You went on the road at Buffalo. You got the

1122
00:50:11,719 –> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 4: bye week coming up. That could be one fun plane

1123
00:50:14,680 –> 00:50:18,240
Speaker 4: ride coming home from Buffalo on Sunday. So fingers crossed,

1124
00:50:18,280 –> 00:50:22,720
Speaker 4: that’s what happens, all right. So to my final thought

1125
00:50:22,760 –> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 4: this week, and I usually try to make it kind

1126
00:50:24,520 –> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 4: of happy and leave everybody feeling all good. Well, this week,

1127
00:50:29,440 –> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 4: this is more of a little bit of a heartbreaker.

1128
00:50:31,360 –> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 4: What has to do is how hard the NFL is

1129
00:50:35,400 –> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 4: and how heartbreaking it can be. And I’m talking particularly

1130
00:50:39,760 –> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 4: this week about Carson Wentz. Carson Wentz is a guy,

1131
00:50:44,000 –> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 4: whether you love or hate him as a player, has

1132
00:50:46,239 –> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 4: always left it on the field, and he has had

1133
00:50:49,000 –> 00:50:51,960
Speaker 4: his career literally ruined by injuries. When he was with

1134
00:50:52,040 –> 00:50:53,799
Speaker 4: the Eagles the year they won the Super Bowl, he

1135
00:50:53,880 –> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 4: would have been the MVP. He one hundred percent was

1136
00:50:56,600 –> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 4: going to win the MVP gets hurt with a few

1137
00:50:58,680 –> 00:51:01,200
Speaker 4: weeks left in the season, Nick Foles. You know the

1138
00:51:01,200 –> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 4: rest of the story. Since then, Whenz has bounced around

1139
00:51:05,480 –> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 4: a lot of places, injuries have been an issue, inconsistency’s

1140
00:51:08,680 –> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 4: been an issue. But then he gets a chance to

1141
00:51:11,200 –> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 4: go to his childhood favorite team, the Minnesota Vikings. If

1142
00:51:15,520 –> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 4: people don’t know this, if you grow up in either

1143
00:51:17,200 –> 00:51:20,440
Speaker 4: of the Dakota’s the Vikings or your team Summer Chiefs fans,

1144
00:51:20,640 –> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 4: but by at large, that’s Vikings country. So he gets

1145
00:51:23,840 –> 00:51:26,200
Speaker 4: to be the Vikings quarterback. It’s a dream come true,

1146
00:51:26,200 –> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 4: and he gets off to a pretty good start. To

1147
00:51:28,680 –> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 4: watch the way that he battled with that injury, and

1148
00:51:31,400 –> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 4: he was literally getting his ass kicked. I mean, they

1149
00:51:34,719 –> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 4: beat him up, and that he stayed in there. You

1150
00:51:38,120 –> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 4: saw the paint he was in. Just why you know,

1151
00:51:40,440 –> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 4: everyone dreams about being a starting quarterback in the NFL.

1152
00:51:42,880 –> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 4: Not only is it really hard, but sometimes it literally

1153
00:51:46,120 –> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 4: just breaks your heart. And seeing Carson Wentz out there

1154
00:51:49,480 –> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 4: and again, who knows if he’ll start another NFL game.

1155
00:51:52,200 –> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 4: He’s out for the year. What’s the next team? He

1156
00:51:55,080 –> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 4: may be a backup for a great team that the

1157
00:51:56,920 –> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 4: quarterback plays the whole year. Just a reminder that your

1158
00:52:00,800 –> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 4: shelf life in the NFL is always unknown. To be

1159
00:52:03,200 –> 00:52:06,719
Speaker 4: grateful for every moment, every play. And while I’ve had

1160
00:52:06,719 –> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 4: issues with Carson Wentz, his leadership in a locker room,

1161
00:52:10,520 –> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 4: what he showed me on Thursday night, the way he

1162
00:52:12,800 –> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 4: stayed in that game battled, I will have He will

1163
00:52:15,200 –> 00:52:18,040
Speaker 4: forever have my respect. And that’s my final thought for

1164
00:52:18,080 –> 00:52:18,560
Speaker 4: this week.

1165
00:52:19,000 –> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, that’s a good one.

1166
00:52:20,080 –> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 2: Uh.

1167
00:52:20,640 –> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 3: You know, I was rooting for Carson because he spent

1168
00:52:22,560 –> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 3: some time here obviously, and really good guy. And uh,

1169
00:52:26,600 –> 00:52:29,440
Speaker 3: you know, stepping into that opportunity with Minnesota, seemed like

1170
00:52:29,480 –> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 3: McCarthy was going to be the guy there. But he

1171
00:52:31,920 –> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 3: gets hurt and all of a sudden Carson’s kind of

1172
00:52:33,560 –> 00:52:35,919
Speaker 3: thrown in the fire and has a chance to maybe

1173
00:52:36,000 –> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 3: be the guy the rest of the season for them,

1174
00:52:37,440 –> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 3: who knows, and uh, just bad luck. I mean that

1175
00:52:40,520 –> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 3: just stinks. And he could have taken himself out of

1176
00:52:42,840 –> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 3: that game against the Chargers and he didn’t. I mean,

1177
00:52:44,719 –> 00:52:48,240
Speaker 3: he kept firing. Dude as a torn Labraham playing quarterback

1178
00:52:48,280 –> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 3: in the NFL against Dat Khalil Mack and Tully Twey

1179
00:52:51,200 –> 00:52:53,359
Speaker 3: Polo two and these guys running at it. I mean,

1180
00:52:53,640 –> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 3: so I’m with you. He has my respect for sure,

1181
00:52:55,719 –> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 3: and I hope he finds a spot next year because

1182
00:52:59,000 –> 00:53:02,400
Speaker 3: he deserves it. My final thought not quite a somber.

1183
00:53:03,719 –> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 3: My parents. Yeah, my parents are going to be in

1184
00:53:06,840 –> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 3: Buffalo for the Chiefs Bills game this weekend. So originally

1185
00:53:10,960 –> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 3: my dad is trying to find ways just to spend

1186
00:53:12,840 –> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 3: some time with me, like on the road, because I’m

1187
00:53:15,320 –> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 3: traveling a lot, He’s traveling a lot. And we figured

1188
00:53:18,080 –> 00:53:20,759
Speaker 3: out the Sabers are playing on Saturday night in Buffalo,

1189
00:53:21,360 –> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 3: so he was like, how about I come to Buffalo,

1190
00:53:23,760 –> 00:53:25,399
Speaker 3: meet up with you, and we’ll go to the Sabers game.

1191
00:53:25,400 –> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 3: And I’m like, that sounds great. He wasn’t going to

1192
00:53:27,120 –> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 3: go to the Chiefs game the next day. Well, my

1193
00:53:29,120 –> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 3: mom found out about this, and my mom is probably

1194
00:53:32,360 –> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 3: where I get my crazy football streak, because as soon

1195
00:53:35,960 –> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 3: as she found out about this, she’s like, I’m going

1196
00:53:38,440 –> 00:53:40,960
Speaker 3: and we’re going to the game. And my Dad’s like okay,

1197
00:53:41,600 –> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 3: So I think I know she knows what she’s getting

1198
00:53:43,880 –> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 3: into with this. I’m not sure my dad does. Hopefully

1199
00:53:48,520 –> 00:53:50,600
Speaker 3: the good people of Buffalo treat them well. They will

1200
00:53:50,640 –> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 3: be wearing red and cheering like crazy for the Chiefs.

1201
00:53:53,239 –> 00:53:55,919
Speaker 3: Hopefully they’re the ones that are happy when they’re leaving

1202
00:53:55,920 –> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 3: the stadium on Sunday. But pretty cool, fun experience sharing

1203
00:53:59,200 –> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 3: it with my family. Hopefully the Bills fans are nice

1204
00:54:01,719 –> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 3: enough to them.

1205
00:54:03,040 –> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 4: I think they’ll be nice enough. And just to bring

1206
00:54:04,680 –> 00:54:08,200
Speaker 4: a kind of full circle, so your very first TV preseason,

1207
00:54:08,520 –> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 4: that effort just go and I remember, you know, your

1208
00:54:11,560 –> 00:54:13,799
Speaker 4: parents being a part of the broadcast, and you know,

1209
00:54:14,200 –> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 4: like we talked about football families, and I just think

1210
00:54:17,600 –> 00:54:20,400
Speaker 4: it’s so beautiful that you’re gonna be there with your family.

1211
00:54:20,480 –> 00:54:22,920
Speaker 4: Soak it up, enjoy every moment because these these are

1212
00:54:22,920 –> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 4: the moments you’re gonna remember in twenty five thirty years. Yeah,

1213
00:54:25,360 –> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 4: You’ll be looking at all those rings and they’ll look right.

1214
00:54:28,480 –> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 4: But the bond with the family and you’ll have young

1215
00:54:30,960 –> 00:54:32,720
Speaker 4: kids and I hope you one day or a father.

1216
00:54:33,440 –> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 4: We’re proud to call ourselves a football family. We are

1217
00:54:36,400 –> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 4: like that. We are like Sundays are for football, Like

1218
00:54:38,880 –> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 4: when our teams are playing, we watch, and I think

1219
00:54:41,080 –> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 4: that there’s a connectedness that’s somehow different than other sports.

1220
00:54:45,560 –> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 4: I’m not disparaging the other one, but the bond with

1221
00:54:47,920 –> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 4: a football family, to me, is the best fond family

1222
00:54:50,680 –> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 4: bond you can have. So that’s gonna do it for

1223
00:54:52,920 –> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 4: out West with ri Wolf, Matt, you are the man.

1224
00:54:55,480 –> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 4: Good luck, save travels to Buffalo, and I hope the

1225
00:54:57,960 –> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 4: next time I talk to you, guys are six and three.

1226
00:55:00,560 –> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 3: Let’s get this win.

1227
00:55:01,840 –> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 4: Let’s go.

1228
00:55:03,000 –> 00:55:05,439
Speaker 1: I feel like Gary’s getting it. He’s enjoying this role.

1229
00:55:05,560 –> 00:55:08,359
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, he’s five versus Spiral. He’s loving every

1230
00:55:08,400 –> 00:55:11,359
Speaker 1: second of this. I uh, he’s been talking about doing

1231
00:55:11,400 –> 00:55:14,320
Speaker 1: this kind of thing for a while, and all jokes aside.

1232
00:55:14,360 –> 00:55:16,839
Speaker 1: I think Ari loves being part of our team, which

1233
00:55:16,840 –> 00:55:19,879
Speaker 1: I think is super cool because you know, Ari didn’t

1234
00:55:19,880 –> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 1: grow up a Chiefs fan, but Ari has been in

1235
00:55:22,360 –> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 1: the Kingdom for a handful of years now, and I

1236
00:55:24,960 –> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: think he saw how much fun this was, how much

1237
00:55:27,440 –> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: fun our culture is to be around and just being

1238
00:55:30,160 –> 00:55:32,120
Speaker 1: a part of this team, how special it is. And

1239
00:55:32,800 –> 00:55:34,719
Speaker 1: I think it’s super cool. Ari’s doing this. He’s having

1240
00:55:34,760 –> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: a blast with it. I think it’s fun too. I

1241
00:55:36,320 –> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: was telling him that, you know, I joked around with him.

1242
00:55:39,040 –> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: I stayed up till two in the morning last night

1243
00:55:41,200 –> 00:55:42,359
Speaker 1: watching that Dodgers game.

1244
00:55:42,600 –> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 2: I stayed up.

1245
00:55:43,280 –> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 3: I can’t help myself. It was the eighteenth inning. I’m like,

1246
00:55:47,239 –> 00:55:48,919
Speaker 3: I have to see it. And then I wasn’t even

1247
00:55:48,920 –> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 3: looking at the clock when the game ended. I’m like,

1248
00:55:51,120 –> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 3: it’s one fifty in the morning. But anyway, you know,

1249
00:55:55,760 –> 00:55:57,359
Speaker 3: we’re tired. But it’s fun and it was a good

1250
00:55:57,360 –> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 3: break in my day, so I enjoyed it.

1251
00:56:00,160 –> 00:56:02,120
Speaker 1: I just expect when we go to Denver here in

1252
00:56:02,120 –> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks after the bye that Ri will

1253
00:56:04,040 –> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: be in some stockade. They will have found him and

1254
00:56:07,120 –> 00:56:08,560
Speaker 1: the heavy him under interrogation.

1255
00:56:08,719 –> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 2: Hopefully that’s the good shepherd.

1256
00:56:10,040 –> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but he wouldn’t give in, I believe, no, No.

1257
00:56:12,239 –> 00:56:13,840
Speaker 2: He wouldn’t give in. But it just might be a

1258
00:56:13,880 –> 00:56:14,760
Speaker 2: little rough on him.

1259
00:56:14,960 –> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 1: So hit me again, our Chiefs Kingdom spy. He’s trying

1260
00:56:21,440 –> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 1: to be part of an exchange that we have with

1261
00:56:24,360 –> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: the Broncos or the Raiders or the Chargers. But we’ll

1262
00:56:28,040 –> 00:56:31,240
Speaker 1: close out this way. This Chiefs team, it’s been quoted,

1263
00:56:31,280 –> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 1: We’ve you and I both quoted a lot. Twenty points

1264
00:56:33,200 –> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 1: in five straight games is top three in the history

1265
00:56:36,280 –> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: of the franchise. What I really like about this team though,

1266
00:56:39,280 –> 00:56:42,160
Speaker 1: right now is the fact that the red zone they

1267
00:56:42,280 –> 00:56:44,840
Speaker 1: own the red zone. There were four to four again

1268
00:56:45,640 –> 00:56:47,960
Speaker 1: in the game against the Commanders. They are now fifth

1269
00:56:47,960 –> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: in the league, but they’re second in red zone penetrations.

1270
00:56:51,320 –> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 1: Only Indianapolis has had more red zone penetrations. So the

1271
00:56:56,400 –> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: point here is when you look at red zone touchdown efficiency,

1272
00:56:59,120 –> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 1: you have to look at how any there are.

1273
00:57:00,640 –> 00:57:01,240
Speaker 2: It’s like batting.

1274
00:57:01,239 –> 00:57:02,759
Speaker 1: I could lead the league in batting, but I got

1275
00:57:02,800 –> 00:57:04,960
Speaker 1: to get to a minimum total, right And so the

1276
00:57:05,040 –> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs have had the second in volume, but they’re fifth

1277
00:57:07,719 –> 00:57:11,239
Speaker 1: in touchdown efficiency. And right now Patrick Mahomes and he’s

1278
00:57:11,280 –> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 1: going to different places to do it. It mean, I

1279
00:57:14,320 –> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 1: just don’t remember when it’s been this good in the

1280
00:57:16,200 –> 00:57:19,200
Speaker 1: red zone on this much of a consistent basis.

1281
00:57:19,280 –> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 3: That’s a really good point because Washington was like two

1282
00:57:22,200 –> 00:57:24,600
Speaker 3: or three in red zone touchdown efficiency but only had

1283
00:57:24,640 –> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 3: like eighteen red zone drives. So yeah, if you have

1284
00:57:27,360 –> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 3: less red zone drives and you score on a handful

1285
00:57:29,560 –> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 3: of them, you’re going to have a higher average than

1286
00:57:31,120 –> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 3: a team that has a ton of red zone drives

1287
00:57:33,400 –> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 3: like the Chiefs do. This offense has just been awesome, though,

1288
00:57:37,080 –> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 3: And how about the second half on Monday. I mean,

1289
00:57:39,720 –> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 3: Mahomes goes seventeen of nineteen for two hundred and ten

1290
00:57:42,640 –> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 3: yards and three touchdowns. His twenty one offensive touchdowns now

1291
00:57:47,080 –> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 3: lead the NFL. He’s now tied with Matthew Stafford with

1292
00:57:50,200 –> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 3: seventeen passing touchdowns, that leads the NFL, and he trails

1293
00:57:53,520 –> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 3: only Herbert in passing yards. I mean, he’s having an

1294
00:57:56,320 –> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 3: MVP year. I’m going to say it on this podcast

1295
00:57:58,680 –> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 3: every single week. I lost it and it’s not listen

1296
00:58:03,960 –> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 3: it is. It is irresponsible the discussions and conversations and

1297
00:58:08,080 –> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 3: articles being put out into the universe after Week two,

1298
00:58:11,680 –> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 3: I mean just honestly crazy to me. This is a

1299
00:58:14,360 –> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 3: team that is in the middle of the generational run

1300
00:58:16,840 –> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 3: and all people want to do if they’re outside of it,

1301
00:58:19,320 –> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 3: is say, oh, it looks like it’s over. Listen, we’ve

1302
00:58:21,840 –> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 3: been on the flip side of this. I remember watching

1303
00:58:23,920 –> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 3: Monday Night Football Chiefs and Patriots in twenty fourteen and

1304
00:58:27,800 –> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 3: Trent dolpher is saying the Patriots weren’t good anymore. I mean,

1305
00:58:30,920 –> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 3: it’s hilarious. We’re now living that life and it’s like,

1306
00:58:33,720 –> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 3: what are you talking about? The Patriots won the Super

1307
00:58:35,560 –> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 3: Bowl that year. So if people want to keep hurl

1308
00:58:37,680 –> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 3: on the stones, I guess they can, and they can

1309
00:58:39,880 –> 00:58:41,959
Speaker 3: keep watching these games and seeing that she’s finding ways

1310
00:58:41,960 –> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 3: to figure it out. But Mahomes is having an incredible season.

1311
00:58:45,680 –> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 3: I mean he looks awesome and it’s no coincidence. He

1312
00:58:48,600 –> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 3: finally has his full complement of weapons to distribute the ball.

1313
00:58:51,480 –> 00:58:54,640
Speaker 1: And defensively, the Chiefs are second now in scoring defense.

1314
00:58:54,920 –> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: They hold the Commanders to seven points.

1315
00:58:57,360 –> 00:58:58,439
Speaker 2: The stat of that game.

1316
00:58:58,560 –> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: The stat of that game was the one four straight

1317
00:59:00,840 –> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: points or twenty four straight games. The Commanders had at

1318
00:59:03,760 –> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: least seventeen points. That covers a lot of ground, and

1319
00:59:06,360 –> 00:59:08,919
Speaker 1: they’ll hold them to seven points. And now they face

1320
00:59:09,040 –> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: James Cook, and they face Josh Allen, and they faced

1321
00:59:12,120 –> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 1: this really good Bill’s offense that is going to be

1322
00:59:14,480 –> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: a clash, especially that Bill’s offensive line that is so good.

1323
00:59:18,080 –> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs defense and Bill’s offense battle will be

1324
00:59:21,960 –> 00:59:23,640
Speaker 1: a highlight of the entire NFL week.

1325
00:59:23,920 –> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 3: And part of that is for the Chiefs offense keep

1326
00:59:25,920 –> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 3: pressure on that Bill’s offense because that helps our defense

1327
00:59:28,960 –> 00:59:31,240
Speaker 3: in the end. You look at last year a lot

1328
00:59:31,280 –> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 3: of times our defense was excellent last year, but they

1329
00:59:33,840 –> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 3: were kind of hanging on, like we have a lead

1330
00:59:36,680 –> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 3: here and you got to protect it for a handful

1331
00:59:39,320 –> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 3: of possessions, right, kind of the case in the Bills

1332
00:59:41,720 –> 00:59:44,320
Speaker 3: game last year. Well, the Chiefs offense at this point

1333
00:59:44,440 –> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 3: the Lions game is a great example of this. Because

1334
00:59:47,120 –> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 3: they kept scoring and kept pressure on the Lions offense,

1335
00:59:50,360 –> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 3: they had to kind of get out of themselves a

1336
00:59:51,920 –> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 3: little bit. They couldn’t run the football as much as

1337
00:59:53,840 –> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 3: they maybe wanted to. In the second half, they had

1338
00:59:55,600 –> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 3: to throw the ball. Even saw that last week against

1339
00:59:58,520 –> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 3: the Commanders. Where I get it, it’s Marcus Mariota, but

1340
01:00:01,400 –> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 3: they had a really good game plan early on where

1341
01:00:03,480 –> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 3: they were spreading the football around a lot of screens, bubbles,

1342
01:00:06,240 –> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 3: stuff like that, trying to run the football effectively. But

1343
01:00:09,120 –> 01:00:11,480
Speaker 3: when the Chiefs came out a halftime, marched right down

1344
01:00:11,520 –> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 3: the field. Okay, Commanders, then punt, Chiefs march right down

1345
01:00:14,800 –> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 3: the field again. Well, you can’t just hand the ball

1346
01:00:16,760 –> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 3: off when you’re down fourteen points in the second half.

1347
01:00:18,760 –> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 3: You have to throw the ball and before you know it,

1348
01:00:21,120 –> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 3: the Chiefs defense is off the field again because the

1349
01:00:23,120 –> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 3: Commanders got out of themselves a little bit. So again

1350
01:00:26,680 –> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 3: for the Chiefs offense. That’s why this is so important.

1351
01:00:28,960 –> 01:00:30,959
Speaker 3: And when they’re putting up these points every single week,

1352
01:00:31,120 –> 01:00:33,600
Speaker 3: it puts pressure on the opponent and that helps the

1353
01:00:33,640 –> 01:00:34,720
Speaker 3: Chiefs defense in the end.

1354
01:00:35,840 –> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 1: Fourteen times the Chiefs have played the bill since Andy

1355
01:00:39,280 –> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: Reid has been head coach six time going to Buffalo

1356
01:00:42,360 –> 01:00:44,280
Speaker 1: and it’s this week now. Matt and I did not

1357
01:00:44,680 –> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 1: were We were not interested or redoing our education in

1358
01:00:48,720 –> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 1: undergrad to go to the University of Buffalo, home of.

1359
01:00:51,760 –> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 2: The Bulls, great school.

1360
01:00:53,040 –> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 1: Not going to do it, or Canisius, the Golden Griffins

1361
01:00:55,800 –> 01:00:57,360
Speaker 1: or the Niagara Purple Eagles.

1362
01:00:57,400 –> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 3: Thought about it, but.

1363
01:00:58,120 –> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 2: No, all they’re in Buffalo. But we do feel like

1364
01:01:00,400 –> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 2: we could get in state tuition
