Welcome to the official YouTube channel for the Colin Coward podcast. Go on, hit that subscribe button if you’re new so you don’t miss any of our great football content this season. Well, instant reaction. Plus, I’m going to have some thoughts on the Dodgers win over the Phillies. Uh, Jags beat Kansas City 31 to28. But if you look at the final stats, Kansas City had 465 yards, 307 yards passing, one time of possession, 25 to 17 first downs. You know, Mahomes had a pick six and did not see the guy. He threw a a ball that he didn’t see the defender. Uh, so I give him a little bit of a pass on that. I don’t know what I think Kansas City is really good. I don’t think right now they’re as consistent as Detroit, but they have a better defense. Um, I don’t think they have the consistent pass rush or pass protection of Denver. They don’t have the roster of Philly and they don’t have the late game magic of Tampa. Um, I think Kansas City outside of those teams is the fourth or fifth best team in the NFL. Uh, if they played Green Bay tomorrow, Green Bay’s young, I wouldn’t trust them. I’d take Kansas City. Uh, Rams, again, Rams got outplayed by the Colts. They were lucky to win that game and lost to the ners. I don’t know what to do with the Jags. I don’t think the Jags are better than Kansas City. I don’t think if they played again, Mahomes would have a pick six. And it was in Jacksonville, which is not worth much, but it was worth something. I really liked Kansas City tonight. I think, you know, keep your eye on Bashard Smith. He played at the Miami Hurricanes. He I think he was a seventh round pick for them between Kelsey Worthy, Hollywood Brown, and Bashard Smith is emerging as a real player for them. When Rasheed Rice comes back, Kansas City is going to have a really good receiving core. They passed for over 300 yards tonight. I thought Mahomes was magical. 28 to 37, 307 yards, six rushing attempts, 10 yards per rush. I thought he was unbelievable. He had a bad pick six. Um, and you know, he has to be their leading rusher. It’s not ideal. I don’t think they’re a Super Bowl team, but you know, again, there’s not a great team in this league right now. I’m doing the herd hierarchy tomorrow. I don’t know what the hell to do with Jacksonville. I don’t know what to do with Seattle. I can’t put Seattle in and I think they’re good. You know, I got the Colts at 10. I got Buffalo at eight or nine. I’m not sure what to do with Buffalo. I don’t trust their defense. I don’t have New England in it and they just beat Buffalo. It’s I don’t do standings. Jacksonville’s 4- one. Kansas City is 2 and three. I think Kansas City’s better. I do. I think they’re the better team and I think when they get Rasheed Rice they’ll take another jump up. I think Kansas City is an old team. They’re going to be built for October, November, and December. It’s just crazy right now. There’s no great teams. There’s great coaches. There’s great quarterbacks. There’s great units. I think the best unit in the league is the running back room for the Lions and the offensive line for the Lions. Uh offensively, Detroit is just a freaking handful, man. They are just blowing people out. And you have to now, one of the things I’ve learned over the last couple years as they’ve extended the schedule to 17 games. And one of the things we have to all come to terms with is you just can’t count week one. I mean, the Raiders beat the Patriots in week one. The Lions got smoked by Green Bay. It’s just an extension of preseason because nobody plays starters in the preseason. So week one is really teams like it’s a it’s an extension of the preseason. You can’t. I mean, I had a winning blazing five. I don’t know how I locked into that. I But week two to now, I mean, there’s some obvious I I just think the season now is so long that you’re just going to have bad home games. I thought Buffalo last night just the fumbles early. I think Buffalo is better than New England. I think they played him five times. They beat him four out of five times. They didn’t beat him last night at home. So I, you know, I watched this game and I I it looked, you know, I thought it would be a little lower scoring. I thought it was wildly entertaining. You know, Trevor Lawrence, I was the one of the first Trevor Lawrence fanboys. I saw him in high school. I went to a camp in San Diego and he was down there with all that wild hair and I came back on the air and I said, “Man, I just saw one of the best high school quarterbacks I’ve ever seen. He was insane.” Um but he is man fumbles fumble at the goal line bad interception you know the pick six Mahomes did not see the defender you know the timing and the spot of that interception by Trevor Lawrence felt like it was worse and he’s he’s just worth a couple of turnovers it feels like in big spots but I will say is Jacksonville’s problem is isn’t talent it’s sort of belief I mean for them to travel cross country and beat San Francisco. That’s impressive. They had a really good special teams day. So, they’re finding kind of different ways to win. Uh Kansas City, give Trevor Lawrence credit though in that final drive. Holy crow did he have a couple of darts and Kansas City was bringing heat and Spags was bringing like safety blitz and he escaped and he almost fell down on that winning touchdown. It was not artistic, but he that throw uh to Michael Thomas up the right sideline, that is as good a throw as Trevor Lawrence has made as a as a professional quarterback. That was a perfect throw. That was alltime stuff. That’s that’s Eli Manning, Deario Manningham in the Super Bowl when he fits it in the bread basket. That that throw by Trevor Lawrence will go down as one of his great throws as a pro uh to beat Kansas City. So, you know, I know the records say that the Jags are a better team. I’m not sure they are. You know, I don’t think New England’s better than Buffalo. I just thought it was a great night for them and a great win. Um, I don’t know what I’m going to do with a herd hierarchy. I think Detroit’s the best team in the league right now, but I there’s an argument Tampa second. I thought Tampa beating Seattle and Seattle was so impressive. Today’s show is brought to you by our new presenting sponsor, Hard Rock Bet. They’re a great partner. October Baseball is here, baby.

So I I got to talk about the Dodgers 4 to3 win over the Phillies to take a two- lead. Winning games in Philly is not easy. In so many ways, it was such a beautiful win by the Dodgers. Blake Snell, great starting pitching. I mean, Snell was incredible. Six innings, nine strikeouts, didn’t allow a run. Beautiful clutch performance by Blake Snell. The fielding, they had two or three great plays. Miguel Rojos, who’s a 36-year-old shorts stop at third, made an unbelievable play in the bottom of the sixth inning to leap to the bag and beat the runner uh to get the out at third. Just an incredible defensive play. Clutch hitting by Will Smith and Otani in a four-run seventh. But if you’ve never seen the Dodgers play and you know how much money they spend, it was the classic Dodger win because Blake Trinan comes in and he’s an older reliever. Um they have struggled with their bullpen all year and Trinan comes in three hits, two earn runs and the wheels come off and I’m watching and I’m thinking it’s the perfect Dodger win. Starting pitching’s unbelievable. Clutch hitting, fantastic defense. And there wasn’t a Dodger fan that felt good about that thing when they went to the bullpen. And I keep saying this, I I’ve never seen a team with a bad bullpen win a World Series. You steam heads that have encyclopedic knowledge of the sport. You You maybe you don’t have to have great starting pitching. I mean, there’s a Kansas City Royals team years ago u that won a World Series, small market Kansas City, that had a great bullpen, but not great starting pitching. they were just kind of an athletic team, manufactured runs. The Dodgers do so much well and their starting pitching now is is really really heating up and and Milky Bat Bats uh again getting on base. Will Smith is back from the injury. Like they’re they are a great ro a great batting order, but man, when they go to that bullpen, they’re Dodger fans. And I’ve said this for years. Nobody knows a team’s bullpen better than its fans. You know, a lot of times the national playby-play guys, they come in and they jump in for the big games. But if you want to know if a team’s bullpen is trustable, go to a fan. Go to a diehard fan when they go to the bullpen and how that fan initially feels will tell you the truth about that reliever. Because baseball is a very complex sport. I mean the there there are so many elements to a baseball team like football but I mean just middle I mean even your bullpen you’ve got your closer hopefully you’ve got a great closer and then you’ve got your setup guy and then you got middle relievers. So even your bullpen is several narratives and stories and I mean it this it started out as just a great pitching duel but it turned into a huge seventh inning for the Dodgers. Tremendous defense. Will Smith delivers and I’m just watching the bullpen unravel and you know I it’s Dave Roberts is like Aaron Boone. He’s a players manager and he trusts his guys and you know that’s what they always say about Jim Harbaugh. He just believes in his players and Dan Campbell believes in his players. Same with Vrabel. Part of building a great culture is this belief uh even with struggling players that you’ve got their back. And I mean, you can say it’s to a fault, but if the Dodgers win this World Series, Dave Roberts will have earned it because LA tonight, the Dodgers did so many things at a high level. It It was beautiful baseball, fielding, starting, pitching, timely hitting. I mean, it was just it was really just a a masterpiece of postseason baseball. and then they go to the bullpen and you’re white knuckling it as a Dodger fan. So, um, if you’d never seen a Dodger game, that sums up what they can be at their best and their worst all within two and a half hours, right? But they they get out of it with a win. I thought Philadelphia would probably find away with a little bit better bullpen. The Dodgers have so much talent. just it’s just a the architecture of the team is is you know the the Yankees spend the money but the Yankees are uneven. They’re so home run dependent. Now if Garrett Cole was healthy maybe you’d feel differently but the Yankees don’t play a lot of small ball. They don’t grind out the at bats. They strike out too much. You know the Dodgers do a lot well and so they’ve taken a 20 series lead on the Philadelphia Phillies and I’m going to now spend the next 15 minutes doing my herd hierarchy. It’s it’s it’s a mess right now. I don’t even I I can’t put Seattle in it. You know, you got to win those close games. You got to win at home against San Francisco or Tampa. One, if not both. So, I can’t put Seattle in it. I don’t know what to do with the Jags. I’m telling you, I love the Colts. I love the Colts offensive line. I have to put the Colts in it. I have to put Buffalo in it. But Buffalo maybe eight. Uh, do I put the Jags in over the Rams? Really, Trevor Lawrence, Liam Cohen, or Matt Stafford, Shawn McVey? If you had a one-off, I don’t know if the Jags can make it. We’ll see you tomorrow. [Music]

  3. I’d be curious to know how many times that Colin has been here in Jacksonville to watch a game because I was at the game last night and I can tell you it was packed with probably 80% JAX fans. The away side of the stadium is what you see on the TV copy but it was mostly JAX fans.

  6. Serious cognitive dissonance. Blames Lawrence on pick while excusing Mahomes. Would have thought Chiefs won listening to first 5 minutes. Colin maybe intimidated by Nick Wright re Chiefs.

  7. Last year teams get praise for how they win 1 score games this year KC and excuse for losing them.
    KC beats the giants and a Baltimore team that just got beat by 34 by the then 1-3 Texans yet they’re a good team and the jags beat KC, the same Texans that beat KC, loses by a last second td to Cincinnati, beats the 49ers and is 4-1 and they’re worse than KC.
    This game is either an indictment on KC or Jax is better than their credit for. You pick which one. If Jax is truly not a good team and KC just lost to them than what does that make the 2-3 KCC

  10. The bucs are the second best team??? What???? The jets almost beat them. Cmon. At least be serious Colin. I wonder about you sometimes. The bucs are a 1 and done playoff team only because their division sucks. If they were in the afc west they wouldn’t make the playoffs. Smh

  11. ‘Giving Mahomes a pass’ for his pick6? Typical BS which lends credence to the folks who think this stuff is rigged. Most of JG and Purdy’s interceptions are either when they didn’t see a defender or their passes got tipped. How many ‘passes’ did you give out for them? Kansas City is about to have their butt handed to them next week to go 2-and-4. Let’s see how healthy they look after that pounding, ok.

  20. This is a weird take. The 2-3 team is NOT better than the 4-1 team. You spent the whole cast talking about the losers of the game. The losers, who also had a number of no-calls in their favor. The best team won. Yikes, bro.

  31. Bro giving Patrick so much leeway. The Jags are an underrated team. And they played well. Instead of saying the Jags played well he is saying they got lucky? I think the age is getting to them

  32. After Jags go to 6-1 after beating Seattle and Rams I expect the slander to stop. People sleep on the Jags, they have no weaknesses and didn’t even have Travon Walker vs Chiefs

  36. If the Jaguars are soooooo much better than the Chiefs like everyone here in the comments is acting like, they should have blown them out. Instead, they barely win. And yes, even with your endless complaints about 14 pts to the Chiefs blah blah blah or Trevor Lawrence can never throw an interception that's his fault. Let's see them win when it matters.

  41. Jags won but apparently it was all about the Chiefs. Chiefs are now 2-3 but I bet there still in Colins top 10. Colin would of destroyed Brock Purdy for that pick 6. I have loved this show on YouTube from the UK for a long time. I'm afraid the comments now are just biased.

  43. This win is huge for Trevor he’s always had all the tools to be a great QB always lacked good coaching and some players around him.I don’t know about the Chiefs sometimes I thought their line was getting away with a lot of holding for Mahomes to play the way he did Mahomes magic isn’t working like it used to.

  44. Well it should tell you something about the JAGS ,Mahomes probably had one of the best games over all except for the costly pick that I’ve seen from him and they still lost.
