The Broncos Beat The Raiders, But Boy That Game Stunk… | Pat McAfee Show

Let’s hope that this game is just a little bit better than the Ash Cheeks game that was last night on Amazon Prime. Now, this is three weeks in a row. Couple blowouts, blowout, blowout, and now another Thursday night football game where it’s one-sore game. And congrats to the Raiders covering a school football team. Great football team. It’s good football team. They kept that thing close, you know, and Gino’s getting unlucky with a lot of these interceptions. I I know everybody’s calling him ass and cheeks like they’ve been calling others that haven’t been playing good, but he’s unlucky as hell. Bo Nicks gets a deflected interception. The offenses can’t really get going. And Shawn Peyton, those boobirds are out early in Denver because I think everybody expected the offense to be great or the defense to be great, but the offense would be good too because it’s Shawn Payeyton. He’s an offensive guru. Bo Nicks in another year. So whenever you give them kind of boring, you know, I don’t like football, the Boobirds are going to come out. They got the best record in football. These guys got the best record in football and their fans are getting boo uh booing them because they don’t like it enough. But good win for Denver. I guess they won’t uh ever think about it. And now this is two times that the Denver Broncos have given us the worst football game of all time on Thursday night. Remember the Colts skin? Oh my god. Colts game. Oh yeah. Yeah. There. Yeah, that was a tough one. That was a tough one to kind of get a hold of. So Thursday night, okay, great kickoff to the NFL. Let’s go to the talks of table at Boston Connor and at Tai Schmidt. Con man, you like the Raiders plus nine and a half. That’s a division game. Yeah, it’s a division game. We’re going to do that. What else did you take away from that game, brother? I mean, Max Crosby still bringing it. Uh, he he’s unbelievable. I think that is why I felt so good about the uh plus n and a half, but yeah, to to your point like the the Boon Knicks trend has not been great. It it feels as though every week you kind of expect them to go on, kind of get something going on offense. Troy Franklin and him, that connection has gotten, you know, much better. But even Evan Ingram and him haven’t really been on the same page. Courtland Sutton, they’ve been good all season, but last night it wasn’t great. JK Dobbins, he he looks great again. You know, after his couple years of terrible, terrible injuries, he’s still bringing it. So, so that’s incredible for the Broncos. But at the end of the day, yeah, like they have the longest win streak in the NFL. They’ve won seven straight games. The the record is 8-2. We’re not going to talk about how, you know, terrible they perform on a week- toeek basis, unless they lose in the first round of the playoffs. We’re not going to talk about that in the end because they will be around. They’re going to be there. They’re 8-2. And as shitty as it is to watch, like it doesn’t matter as much. And you know, I do think if you’re a Broncos fan, you hate it, but you also love it. Your team’s eight-2. You’re the number one team in the AFC, you’re the top of the AFC West. You extend that lead over the Chiefs. You know, the Chiefs are on a buy this weekend. But, you know, they’re they’re 8-2 and the Chiefs are five and four. So, if you’re a Broncos fan, you probably hate how it looks, but you love the result. And if you’re a Raiders fan, it’s one of those things where, hey, we showed a lot of great fight. And even with Ash and Ginty, yes, it was a tough little uh interception directly off his hands, but at the same time, every time Ashen Ginty touched the ball, it felt electric. It felt as though he was going to go on a big run. He had a massive run uh early that got called back a little bit because of a Jack Beck holding, but him getting the ball was great. Brock Barers has one catch for 30 yards and he looks unbelievable. Maybe try and get him the ball a little more. That might be a little more enjoyable, but it’s Thursday night football. their kind of grinds of games. Now we’re getting into that time. It’s not going to get better until Thanksgiving. Jets Pats are next weekend. So, let’s just, you know, kind of focus on the fact that the Broncos, although it looked terrible, are 8 and2 and they’re the number one team in the AFC until the Colts win on Sunday. It’s a win. It’s a win is what they’ll say, AJ. And that defense, you know, no Patrick Satan, that defense pretty good. A that Denver Broncos defense. And I think anytime your defense is really good, that means the other offense not going to play great. So, your fans want to see some good offense. Walt, they can’t cuz your defense is so good. We need your offense to be good for the fans. They’re booing them, age, they’re booing them, saying, “Hey, this this is shite here. They’re eight and two.” Yeah, they’re I mean, I don’t I guess I do get if we don’t see offense, if you don’t see explosive offense teams, uh I guess fan bases do get pretty upset, but I mean, I guess you could say they balance it out with this defense. Watch how these guys on the edge, how they can bend, how they set the edge, and how their interior Dline, they all play together. They don’t like you don’t ever see any huge like gaping holes to where a quarterback can escape because they’re actually disciplined. So Bonito is a special player as well. I hope he people do they understand that this guy is legit. Huanga, too. What a good pickup he was. He’s fun to watch. But Bonita how he bends on the edge, how their whole Dline plays together, their whole all three levels of their defense. It’s pretty fun, man. So I guess like we say, you got a chance. As long as your defense is really good, you have a chance. Your offense might find a spark here towards the end of the season. Hey, remember we were talking yesterday about the sack percentage and pressure percentage of that Denver Broncos defense and then how bad the Raiders were. I think I saw a stat where like 22 of the 26 snaps there was pressure on Gino Smith and it’s like not that Gino is having a great year or anything like that, but he’s had a couple picks where people have made miraculous plays. I think he’s not as bad as everything looks, but I think this Denver Broncos defense is just as good as we all think it is because that stat was said yesterday by Hembo to us and then obviously we we relay it. And then you got like I mean Gino was on the ground every single snap and it was just bang bang bang bang bang. You can win every game like that, especially if you’re going to get blocks on special teams. Now the punters had an interesting evening for sure, both of them. Um, so AJ Cole here, who just had a punt blocked right there and his net ruined for the entire thing, had two. Heads up, we’re losing. We’re losing you. Oh, we might have lost him a little bit. We’ll get back here. Just Oh, he’s back. We got you, buddy. You’re all good. Okay, we are back. Okay, good news. Hey, hey, we’re down here in Texas. There’s too much electricity and oil, you know, down everywhere. So, there’s a chance I might get a little power surge through here, especially with this new resistor all on. You know, how do you do? You got to do what you got to do there. Um, but yes, the special teams last night, AJ Cole has that coffin corner out of bounds at the one. Beautifully done. Be absolutely beautifully done. I mean, then his second one, he hits he tries to hit little pin to the right. Just end over end ball. He has that thing land perfectly and kick directly to the right. They have such a good angle on it. This this punt right here did numbers on the internet because this angle showcases absolute perfection. Now, where do you want them to start? Oh, right there about two inches off of the goal line. So AJ Cole has two inside the one yardd line. That’s absolutely spectacular. Then he has obviously the block punt. He dropped the snap, still got it off. And then on the other side, guy almost whiffed on a ball last night. I mean that that’s tough to age that’s tough to do, you know, especially in the NFL. They said it was wildly windy. We saw Will Lutz come up very short from like a 59 yard. So, if I was to give any words of advice to Cranshaw, who is the punter for Denver, I believe he needs to be hanging on to that ball longer. Hey, we need to be hanging on to the ball longer when it’s windy, brother. So, you see he’s dropping that thing pretty high. There’s a lot of freef fall there. Okay? There’s a lot of freef fall there. If it’s really windy, that thing can move like 2, three inches in the sky. He’s going to hang on to that ball a lot longer cuz you whiff on a ball in prime time, boy, it’s going to be tough to get a job or keep a job there, you know? So, we need to be hanging on to that thing a little bit longer. Let’s kick it out of our hand. He’s obviously incredibly talented. That’s a tough thing to happen. But in Denver, you know, with punting, you got ex punters, you know, sending text. And I think it was incredibly windy last night. So, it’s not easy to punt. I mean, it’s like going to a urinal and then somebody coming in between you and urinal with a with a leaf blower. Okay, that’s basically what punting is as this thing is kind of falling trying to make contact. So, it’s not an easy night. But Denver is a place that like old punters would come out of retirement and get paid men to go punt at because 5,280 feet. So you normally always see the Denver Broncos punter is very good because this is a desirable place to head to whenever you are literally a mile above sea level. Then you got thin air. The ball can absolutely fly, especially now with how good the team is. So he’s in a good position. He needs to hang on the ball a little bit longer. But people need to understand as well that he was in a wind fest last night. That is no fun. And the special teams are certainly a massive piece of the entire game, especially when it’s 10-7. That’s going to be the case. Hey, one half of the hammer done. Cowboys AP Tone. Uh people lost last night, huh? It sounds like uh more public money losing last night. We continue a trend of sports books winning. Almost all sports books are profitable. some somehow golf but but it feels like feels like this one uh this particular season for these sports books public money not great that uh trend continued last night right Tone what other numbers hit yeah the last few weeks have been a little bit better but there still has not been a winning week this season when you look at teams that are getting at least 60% of the bets uh last night the Broncos were getting 66 67% of the bets they obviously did not cover there also 57% of the betters were on the over as well. So, they did not hit there either. So, what was it again? It was over under uh what was it? 42 41 something like that. Uh so, they did not hit hit that one. 41 and a half is what I think it was. And then obviously everyone’s taking touchdowns and over bets as far as like prop bets. I don’t think any of those hit either. So, yeah, it was a tough night for the betters as a whole to start off this week. I um I love the touchdown parlays just being absolutely smashed. Yeah, the number that Gumpy really liked yesterday was minus 156 for Gino to throw pick. That’s almost. Yeah, I don’t like that that’s starting to happen. And I would like to once again reiterate that I think he’s getting unlucky on a lot of these. You know, you start looking obviously a lot of terms. This one’s incredibly unlucky. Same with Bo Knicks. Bick had a pick in the fourth because of a deflection that shouldn’t have happened. I mean, these are the types of things that are out of the quarterback’s control, but they certainly become stats on the quarterback there. He might have shown thrown it quicker because there was two people in the same spot. Little confusion. Ball goes up. They get a huge pick in the fourth quarter. You would think maybe the Raiders are able to steal it. They’re not. Denver Broncos end this game on a knee. AJ four-minute offense and the game on a knee. So, I guess they can do good things whenever they need to at the end of a game. But yeah, it was it was not the most desirable start to the NFL week, but hey, the NFL is going to throw its fast ball yet again, and so is college football.
