Did Week 10’s NFL Chaos HELP the Chiefs During Their Bye?

Did Week 10’s NFL Chaos HELP the Chiefs During Their Bye?

Last question I have for you. Was this a good buy for the Chiefs? Like in terms of like results is that football show here on KC Sports. Tucker Franklin hanging out with Matt Verram recapping your week 10 action across the NFL. Obviously still one game to go with Monday Night Football. We’re recording this after the Chargers beat down the Steelers. The Chargers move uh to a very advantageous position for them in the AFC West. Matt, how was uh your Sunday? How was everything uh for your weekend? My Sunday was better than if I was a player on the Bills. Uh it was woof. Uh my Sunday was fine. My Sunday was good. I sat here. I got up for the uh the Berlin game. I watched Michael Penn Jr. murder the sport of football, right? I watched Raheem Morris murder the sport of football. Yes. And I watched Jonathan Taylor rush for 244 yards. And somehow that was barely enough to win in overtime. Uh in a game that both made me believe in the Colts and also made me kind of like reaffirm my priors on the Colts that I I don’t know, man. I think if you hold Jonathan Taylor under like a buck 20 Daniel Jones like it’s not it’s not great. Um right but yeah I mean sat here and watched football all day long. The Seahawks were up 38 nothing in the second quarter on the Cardinals. That was that was what I love how like that happened right after they benched Kyler Murray. Put all their eggs in that basket and then it was like oh guess what 38 nothing. Yeah. Great. Great. That game ended up 44 to 22 right. Uh I don’t know if I don’t know if you saw this, but the scoragami account tweeted out that uh that was a score origami and that score actually happened twice today. Yeah. Not like that score happened. Yeah. Happ happened 44 to22 happened twice today and also two other times in the NFL. So it was just like straight up wrong in it equation or whatever like the bot uses. Um stupid things. [ __ ] Yeah. I mean that’s what again nerds like just watch football. This is what happens when you let people who like math get involved. Exactly. I mean, you know, it we saw what happened to the sport of baseball. Uhhuh. When all these when all these people got involved and all of a sudden it was a terrible thing if you got a single. Like all these nerds are like, you know who sucks? Tony Gwyn. That’s who sucks because my guy is Joey Gallows. He hits 40 homers and hit, you know, for a buck 40 that season. Great. Thanks. Uh but yeah, the nerds ruin everything. Scor got me wrong, which is a disaster on their part. um wasn’t scorami in Carolina. But speaking of a disaster, nice game against the Saints as Tyler Shuckers lit up Carolina. Um as and Bryce Young just is terrible. Yeah, that was that was a that was a hilarious results and and obviously everyone who listens to this podcast familiar with the podcast knows that I root for hilarious results and that like was a very hilarious result of like that what could have happened like everything that happened in that game was the funniest thing possible of like Bryce Young looking so bad the the Carolina Panthers like to make note every time they have the same record of the Chiefs, right? And it’s been a few times this year that they’ve had the same record because Carolina’s kind of miraculously been over 500. Now they are 500 at five and five. Uh but they go and lay a stinker against the Saints. Holy cow. So bad. They stink. Uh also a team that stinks, but one uh the Jets beat the Browns in a game that should have been put in prison. Um yeah, the Jets had 14 points before they touched the ball offensively. Mhm. So they they had a kickoff return and a punt return for touchdowns. You want to Justin Fields, you want to take a guess how many yards he threw for today? Oh gosh. Um yeah, he scored like what 27 points. That was 2720. He probably probably had a had a few hundred, you know, a couple hundred, maybe 200 or 200. I feel about 54 yards with a touchdown and a pick. That feels about right for Justin Fields. Actually, I I overshot it. I will say if you adjust for Jets, uh then the Fields did throw for about a buck 80. Um I mean only the Jets win a game where the guy throws for 54 yards. So they basically averaged half a point for every yard that he threw. Um 54 yards. And Bree Hall, by the way, this is the funniest part of this whole box score. Reese Hall had a 42 yard touchdown reception, which means that the rest of the team caught five passes for 12 yards the entire day and they scored 27 points to beat the Browns. Awesome. Yeah. So, the Browns suck. Yeah, we tal we talked about that game on uh on Friday’s episode of if you looked at the broadcast map because it was only in New York and Cleveland were the two places they were airing it. And thank goodness I had Sunday tickets. So where I could watch that calamity of a of a football game. But yeah, that there’s some pretty stinker results in the newslet. We’ve talked about Saints Titans. Yeah, we are sleeping on Browns Titans, which happens in four weeks. And that game’s in Cleveland. I might see if SI will send me with a credential. Why? I don’t know. To go to sleep. See it firsthand. Yeah. Yeah, it’s like it’s like watching uh it’s like watching a horror movie but just you know right uh a few thousand feet up. Uh yeah, look that game. Let’s see what ESPN says. ESPN says that game. Wow. Dead even. ESPN says each team’s got a 49% shot of winning it. We might have to go that might actually have to be the game we go live for. That is a rancid football game. Uh yeah, I totally awful. People might be catching on that the uh the common denominator here is tache. Uh who was on by this week? Uh the team’s on by this week actually. Just a bunch of juggernauts. Uh the Bengals, the Titans, the Cowboys, and the Chiefs. Just a bunch of juggernauts. By the way, that that day we want to go live. We can because he’s play Sunday night. Oh buddy, we want to go Titans. Brent, Cam Ward, Dylan Gabriel, look out and and we might get weather because it’s December 7th in Cleveland and they and they haven’t completely uh just gone full disgrace yet by going indoors in Cleveland. So, we we might get a real just a real hollow balloo there. Uh that could be uh that could be something because that might make up for the week 17 game where I’ll be on an airplane when that’s happening. Dude, you can buy tickets for Cleveland, Tennessee for 13 bucks. You don’t even have to need a credential. You can get into that game on your own time. I walk in. They’re not going to stop me. Go right through security. I mean, there’s no shot. They’re probably giving away tickets to that game. Oh my god. By the way, uh so we’re we’re talking about all this [ __ ] but right, let’s not overlook the uh the biggest tire fire of the day or most hilarious game of the day, depending on your perspective of it, which is uh the Bills fans. Look, I saw Bills mafia all week long tweeting out how they’re taking over South Florida. It’s a home game and they’re they’re flying banners over this stadium. It’s just the Bills territory. Uh well, as it turns out, um the Bills went down to Miami and didn’t score a point for three quarters and lost 30 to 13. Uh Yep. The funny thing in that game is like I watched most of it. Tu threw two of the worst interceptions you’ll ever see in your life. As Tua does. Yeah. You know, with now the league leading 13 picks, he’s just rolling. He and Gino are in it. He and Gino are in like a like whatever the hell the opposite would be of like the Sosa Maguire home run chase in 98. That that’s what Gino and D are doing right now. Like they should start, you know, how great it’d be if if like in baseball you always have the out of town scoreboard, right? Right. if they did like an out of town scoreboard in every NFL stadium for Gino Tua and they just had the interception total and then like they updated of course like in real time oh Tua threw a pick and the place just erupts like just like when Sosa Magguire were hitting homers they start putting it on the board. I think we need that. That’s what we need like Arizona when all of a sudden like in some lifeless [ __ ] game between like the Cardinals and the Giants like they’re showing a play and Kenny Albert’s like oh like pick up a five by D Marcato and then there’s just an explosion of noise like oh and and I was like my god two is throwing his fourth pick and it’s it’s absolute pandemonium in Arizona. It’s the first time anyone’s been excited for anything in a decade, right? That’s what we need. But to get back to the point, Jatua throws two just medicine balls up into the air to get picked off. And somehow the Bills can’t take advantage of this because Allen throws a pick in the end zone. He runs for 15 yards on a quarterback sneak and then fumbles. Yeah, right. And then James Cook fumbles like right around the 20ish yard line, which by the way, the ball got batted around for 15 yards. So Miami finally fell on their own five yard line. The game was abjectly horrendous and the Dolphins won by 17 points averaging seven yards a play. Like achan just went ab just postal on Buffalo. And if I can pull the numbers up quick rush for 174. Thank you. 174 two touchdowns on 22 carries. Um Keon Coleman had three catches for 46 yards and a touchdown which on a normal day like oh Keon Coleman showed up eight targets. Woof. Okay. So yeah that’s where we are uh with the Buffalo Bills who looked like world beaters against the Chiefs because as you were pointing out earlier it is their Super Bowl as it is every year. Yes. And then a full-on pants filling down in South Florida. That’s the only thing that makes sense, right? That they is a Super Bowl hangover. Look, not every team is built to go to a couple Super Bowls, win a couple of them, right? Like not every team is built to go back to back and win their Super Bowls. Uh I get it. There’s obviously you’re going to have a little bit of a let down when after the Super Bowl and it happens to the best of teams and uh you know, not to the Chiefs a couple years ago when they, you know, won backto-back Super Bowls, but it it happens to I understand. I get it. But um it was very clear that when the Bills are not playing the Kansas City Chiefs, uh they suck. And like they’re again, this is the kind of the same thing that happens whenever I watch the Jacksonville Jaguars play football. It just makes me self pressure like how the hell did the Chiefs lose to this football team. That’s a little bit of how I was feeling watching this game. But then it just made me realize it’s like oh the Bills like completely sold out for that to win that football game for them. It’s like that they put everything that they had into winning that football game. Now they are are they two games back in their division um with one game dropped to the to play team that is in first place in the Patriots when they still have to play them again. But uh they’re not in a great spot to win their division. No, they were not. Uh they’re not in a great spot and it’s made worse by the fact that New England basically plays like Ball State in five of their last seven games. It’s generous to Ball State actually. It really actually a Ball State should file a lawsuit for slander. Um they they play the Jets twice, the Dolphins at home last week of the year when the Dolphins I mean, oh man, it’s going to be 10°, you know, the locker room and protest. It’s going to be amazing. Um and then you’ve got the Giants at home on a Monday night and the Bengals. O, those are five of their seven games for New England’s winning that division. Yeah. Okay. Um, which means the Bills will be a wild card and that’ll be interesting in its own ways. But yeah, that’s where we are right now with uh what is just a flatout disaster of a of a situ. If you’re the Bills, man, there is nothing worse. You just won that game against Kansas City and you’re like, “We’re rolling now, boys. This is all year like A+ game. Kansas City’s in the rear view. Here we come. It’s Tua. Not a problem. No. Blown out. Like y just a disaster of a loss. Um and like the kind of loss that really makes you question like is this team even like good? You know, like it’s one look, as bad as it still would have been, had they have lost in some ridiculous game where you’re like, I mean, you know, the Dolphins just it was a horseshoe up the ass type of a game. All right, like I’ll give you in fact, actually, I remember distinctly a couple years ago these teams played in Miami early in the year. It was 2022. Buffalo outgainained Miami in that game 497 to 212 31 first downs to 15 had 40 minutes and 40 seconds of possession time. The Dolphins converted three first downs and the Dolphins won 2119. Like that the Bills ran 90 plays in that game. Like that’s the kind of game if you’re if you’re the Bills, you’re like, I don’t know how the hell we lost that game, but like what are you gonna do? Like we’re clearly better. It was a fluke. Yeah. You kind of got your ass beat by the Dolphins. Yeah. Mildly disconcerning. Yeah. Well, let’s not forget about the other game that they had against the Dolphins this year where the Dolphins had a very real shot to win it like at the very end of the game. I know it was a it ended up being what 31 to 21 was that the final score. It’s like a 10-point game, but it was a lot closer than what the what the scoreboard dictated. Um, speaking of that, I saw some people on Twitter saying that like, hey, Josh Allen played kind of good though. Like Josh Allen, uh, this tweet says Josh Allen hooped today. I don’t know. I don’t care what anyone says, Josh Allen played well. And that’s because not some random scrub on Twitter that I had to reply to because I was like, does that person have the gift of sight? Well, no, because they probably just looked at the box score because if you look at the box score, it’s like, oh, okay, he’s he threw for Oh, let’s see. I had it pulled up here. He threw for two 306 on 28 to 40. That’s not great. Uh, but had two touchdowns in a pick, only sacked three times, 70% completion percentage. So, he probably he probably played pretty well. It looks like he played pretty well. But if you watch the [ __ ] games, which people have stopped doing, Matt, people have stopped watching football games and they just go and I look at a box like, “Oh, he played well.” It’s it’s so ridiculous when you when when we go and break this all down too because we talk about Josh Allen and the difference between Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes and a lot of these a lot of these teams that keep winning games. I think I brought this up with Bo Nicks, too. People will look at Bonex’s box score, which are never really good, and they’ll be like, “Oh, well, they’ll they will trick themselves into thinking that the numbers are telling them something other than what they’re seeing, or they’re probably not even seeing it, or they’ll trick themselves into thinking the numbers are good.” But here’s the thing with with with the Broncos and the Chiefs, and this even kind of sometimes goes back to to the Bills as well, is the Chiefs last year were I I really kind of think this year’s Chiefs team is better than last year’s Chiefs team. And they were they were winning games because of their quarterback. The Broncos this year are winning games in spite of their quarterback because and I think that that’s this is one of the things is like that doesn’t show up on the stat sheet. That’s why you have to watch the [ __ ] games. Patrick Mahomes is a lot better when you watch the game. Like maybe his stat line doesn’t show uh 306 yards, 28 of 40, but he doesn’t fumble the ball. He doesn’t fumble up ball in a really bad spot. He doesn’t throw interception in the end zone or if he does, it’s a pickaxe for 99 yards and a touchdown against the Jacks. We don’t talk about that. It’s It’s some of those things where people miss out on like some of the finer details of quarterback play when they’re just looking at a box score and be like, “Oh, he played really well today because he had 300 yards passing.” And sometimes I feel like, well, not sometimes, I feel like we’ve lost the plot when it comes to quarterback play of people just looking at numbers and being like, “Well, no, he played good.” Because look, that’s he has a 306. His 306 Matt, that’s good. Like that’s that’s really good. But he scored 13 points on the road against a Miami defense that is absolutely horrid and putrid. Yeah. Look, I mean that’s why this whole conversation about like Josh Allen’s MVP favorites. Does anyone watch Josh Allen this year, right? Like and listen, I understand the whole like look what’s around him. I’m not even arguing that point. What’s around him is flatout [ __ ] Like no argument. Okay. like, but at the same point, let’s be real about this. They can run the ball. They have a great offensive line. Cool. Um, not get, by the way, he’s now fifth in the MVP race on FanDuel. Um, Mahomes is fourth. Drake May and Matthew Stafford have taken that man. Say, Drake May should probably be the MVP front runner right now. So, that’s where we are with that. But in any event, like Allen Allen is not he’s not been awful, but he’s not the MVP. Like Matthew Stafford would have my vote, but I think May is the other. Yeah, I think that’s right. Now Jonathan Taylor’s third. Jonathan Taylor’s no shot in hell. Um he’s not a quarterback. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. He’s not even on pace rush for 2,000 yards. He’s not doing that. Yeah. Um but like the the disc the discourse around Buffalo is one of the weirdest things. I follow a lot of people in Buffalo because I’m friends with a lot of people who cover the team and are on the radio up there and all stuff and I think those people do an excellent job by by proxy of that. I also get in the for you tab on Twitter just a bunch of these people who are like not just random people on Twitter but like are kind of random people on Twitter like they just have like 20,000 followers and they’re like I think this and then you know like it becomes a thing. Um, every one of them almost to a man was like Josh Allen would be furious. Like Brandon Bean is failing. Josh, it’s like how about this? How about Josh Allen just goes out and doesn’t turn the ball over twice and beats the [ __ ] Dolphins. How about that? Yeah. Like I don’t care. That’s like if we sat here if the Chiefs would lost to the Giants in week three and I was like, “What is Mahomes supposed to do? How can he win this game?” Like I don’t give a [ __ ] if he’s throwing the ball to Guju and Taekquin Thornton. I don’t care if you’re that little. First of all, okay, Momes won the Super Bowl a couple years ago with guys who were actively plotting against him. It was one of the most unbelievable things you’ll ever see in your life. People don’t know what that was like if they didn’t watch that on a week in week out basis. A lot of people just, to your point, they don’t even watch the games. No. And then they just tune in the playoffs and they’re like, “Oh, geez.” Like, “Yeah, back to who they are.” It’s like, “No, no, you have no idea.” Right. Okay. Go catch the Christmas day game from that year. Like that. I mean Christmas is my favorite day of the year. That that ruined Christmas. Oh yeah. I I I almost walked out in traffic after that game. But hell, actually, if I remember, I almost walked out in traffic at halftime of that game. Yeah, it was bad. The first half was brutal. Wait for this second half. Um back defensive switch was insane. But the point is, look, the Bills are a good football team. They’re not a great team. They looked like a great team against Kansas City because the Chiefs bas looked like they were in a coma for 60 minutes. Yeah. But like we made this point on the show last week. That’s kind of weird talking about the Bills couldn’t have played a better game against the Chiefs. It’s impossible. Could not have played any better. Yeah. The Chiefs had the ball down seven with five minutes left and the Chiefs were actively betting on the Bills money line for 60 minutes. Like I I know this sounds like a Homer thing, but I really believe it. If the Chiefs see them in the playoffs, they will kick their ass. Like I really Right. And look, if I’m wrong, all the credit in the world to the Bills, who knows, maybe they play each other, but like I I have no reason to think this Bills team is good. None. Like what? Because they beat Kansas City because it was like they got them. I I know you say it’s their Super Bowl. I won’t go that far because if it was the Bills Super Bowl, they wouldn’t win it. That’s a great That’s a great point. But it’s like I It’s just like, yeah, great. You got up for your one big rival and you kind of like, you know, it’s like it’s like money at the blackjack table. Like you shot your wad on one hand. Yep. And then you went and played Miami who you should borderline be able to like sleep against and beat. Mhm. And you got killed. So it’s like Yeah. I don’t know, man. Like you’re good. You’re fine. But yeah, I And by the way, it’s not just the Chiefs. If they play the Ravens, I think the Ravens will smoke them. Yeah. I think Kansas City would smoke him in a playoff game. I don’t know that I’d go as so far as to say that I think Indianapolis would smoke them. I do think they’d beat them, but like the other teams are so hard to say because it’s so unproven. Like the Colts, the Pats, like I don’t know. But the Ravens and the Chiefs I think would smoke, which is bad news for the Bills cuz I think they might get the Ravens in the first round of the playoffs. So, yeah, we’ll see either one of them probably, which by the way, if that happens, people’s heads are going to explode because the narratives are going to clash so hard for some of these people. It’s not Lamar’s fault. Well, it’s not Allen’s fault either. Well, guess what? It’s going to be somebody’s [ __ ] fault at high noon. So, settle in. No matter how it plays out, it’s hilarious. Like no matter what happens, you know, like either Allen wins and it’s like, oh my god, like the Ravens did all this to get back in the playoffs and they just lost at home. The Wild or the Ravens win and now like they the Bills didn’t win a playoff game. Yeah. And you’re like, where do you go from here? And and I know I already know the story line. Fire McDermott. [ __ ] Okay, great. Well, I mean that that’s nice. They’re still throwing to Keon Coleman. So you can fire him all you want, but somebody’s got to call a pass play to Keon Coleman. Sorry. Yeah. Remember when um I don’t think Xavier Worthy’s been like phenomenal, right? But they’re like, “Oh yeah, we didn’t need Xavier Worthy. We got Keon Coleman.” And they started to do that and they started getting behind him because he said funny stuff in videos sometimes when he was going around and he’s like, “Oh, that room’s cold.” And it’s it’s like buys his jackets at C. Penney or something. Yeah. Yeah. Like he’s so awesome. Yeah. Like Xavier Worthy to this point has been a good player. He’s not been a great player, but he’s been a good player. He is Jerry Rice compared to Ken. Okay. Like I I don’t think that’s an overstatement. Uh by the way, I saw this quote from Greg Rouso. Just the big if the chief said this, I kill the guy for an hour on the show. Greg Russo, quote, this per Joe Shad by the way of uh the Palm Beach Post. quote, “It’s different playing in the Heat because we don’t do it. We don’t really do it that often.” Not making an excuse. I got to tell you, sounds like a [ __ ] excuse, man. And also too, like, buddy, it was 85 degrees with like no humidity. Like warm, but let’s not make it out like it was hitting triple digits. And also, I don’t care if you’re playing on the surface of the sun, you’re playing the Dolphins. Like, come on, man. That’s like if the Dolphins, which God knows, I’m sure they’ve done over the years. Like, well, you know, it’s cold out. Oh, yeah. Guys, I I got bad news. You’re going to play some games in cold weather. It’s going to happen. Like, for the Bills, like, boy, thank god Miami is not making the playoffs. I hate to see if the Bills have to go down to 77 degree weather down in in in Palm in South Florida in in you know January. Like it’s a great point. That’s that’s just so bro. Just own it. Just own it. I’m trying to see uh if if Pro Football Reference has a temperature split on their uh it doesn’t look like it. That’s too bad. But in January obviously um two is not good in January. one and three all time uh for games in January. This is I guess this is just regular season games in January, but um I’m not seeing a temperature advanced split. Maybe I have to go to the advanced splits. Uh but I was very curious to what it would be because I there’s still there are still players on that Dolphins team that came to Kansas City when that game was like that really cold game in the divisional round that are still complaining about it. There are players out there still doing podcast saying about how cold that game was. Listen, I can honestly say I am a born and bred pessimist. I’ve always been that way because my teams beat that into me as a child. Okay? I I just the Chiefs can win 20 Super Bowls and I will always expect them to lose to the Titans. Like it’s just even though like I like I just sat here. I was like, “Yeah, if they play the Bills, I think they’ll kick their ass in the playoffs.” And like I like the analyst in me really does believe that the fan in me sheer terror. just if every team they ever play I’m just always terrified, right? Even though the analyst is in my brain is like no, they’re just better. Um that was one of the few games like a meaningful game I saw the weather report and was like, “Oh yeah, game’s over.” There’s no And then they came into the I was supposed to cover that game for Sports Illustrated and I could not get there because Iowa had a had like an emergency. They shut down the interstate. Yeah. Mhm. I couldn’t get there, so I had to go home and I was bummed out. All right, I’ll watch from the house. And uh NBC did that game and they came in and they showed Mahome and Kel Mahomes and Kelsey like screaming at each other, like banging their heads together on the sideline and then they showed Mike McDaniel literally wearing about 12 jackets. I was like, “This game is over.” Yeah. Like there is no way in hell Miami is winning this football game. And uh they didn’t disappoint. Never seen a team wanted to have a playoff game faster. I just if the Dolphins could have had a running clock in that game, that’s great. Doesn’t matter. We’re down 20. Awesome. Let’s go on a running clock. Like it was like and then at one point like Melissa Stark, I think it was on the sideline made a point of like the Dolphins brought like 3,000 pounds of cold weather gear. Oh, this is over. Oh my. Trey Smith Schmidt’s out there without sleeves like this game’s done. This is this is, you know, I mean, I understand it’s like abnormally cold. I get it. Yeah. You know, I don’t care where you’re from. But that’s another thing that kills me, too, is like you you hear, “Oh, the Miami Dolphins.” It’s not like all these guys are from Miami. True. Like, some of these damn guys are from Wisconsin. Like, come on. Get out there and play some football. Yeah. But it’s I don’t know. It’s just funny. It’s funny how it works. But anyway, yeah. Apparently 85 degrees for Greg Russo was basically like playing, you know, on like in an oven. Yeah. And so uh the Bills just couldn’t hack it. Too hot to handle. All right, we got to take a break. There’s other things I want to talk about at the AFC East. So I want to talk about the uh the Patriots had a big win over the uh the Buccaneers today. I think that they’re uh in a conversation where we should start talking about them as a as a team. We talked a little bit about their schedule, but uh we’ll talk about them here in a little bit.

I had a loose broker owner Casey Local Homes and Enterprise Bank has been uh a great partner for us. They’re our partner impossible. Debbie and I hit it off immediately and she was one of the first bankers that I would say sat down with me and actually like genuinely cared about my story and where I was coming from and what I was trying to do. not just what kind of loan do you need, how much equity do you have, you know, and she really kind of laid out my options for me and just made the process make sense and I felt comfortable with it, start to talk about it and think about it, a building popped up that I wanted that I could afford and it was in a great area.

I started to try to make a running list as the as the day was going on, Matt, of like things I wanted to talk about, right? Um, one of those was about the uh the New England Patriots because they beat a pretty pretty good Buccaneers team. A team that Matt, you and I both agreed is a team contending for the NFC Championship. A team that that uh that that was going to be very good on the NFC side of things. Uh they pull out a win. Thoughts on them and how they’ve they’ve performed. Trayvon Henderson has a big day for them. He finally comes around. They finally give him the ball. I guess if you stop fumbling it. Um but uh but overall thoughts on the uh the Patriots and uh you know we already talked a little bit about their schedule. They haven’t had the hardest schedule right uh this year so far but they’re doing the best what they got. Well, I got to give it to New England. I mean up until this game I think you could make the argument like they played nobody. Yeah. Yeah. And yeah, whatever. They’ll play a good team. They get smoked. I I expect them to lose this game. I didn’t expect them to get killed, but I thought Yeah, I thought they to lose a game like 27 like 21 or something. Mhm. Um to their credit, they found a way and they did it with a lot of big plays. Like that was kind of the way they did. Kyle Williams had like a 70 yard touchdown, which was just a an out route that the Buccaneers just turned loose for a 70 yard touchdown, right? M. Collins caught a really big pass on third and like 14 for 56 yards late in the game. Trayvon Henderson just busted a run just untouched for like inside zone or something like that. I mean, it was kind of an odd game in the sense you’re like, “Okay, I mean, if you have three plays like that, you’re probably going to win the game.” Yeah. Um, but listen, give New England credit. They played well defensively. You know, they held the Bucks down to 23 points and seven of that was kind of in garbage time. Um, it’s a big win. It’s a big win. I I don’t know what to make of New England in the sense that there’s a part of me that’s just May’s playing great football. I certainly believe in the coaching staff and you know defensively Christian Gonzalez is a great corner. They’ve got some guys up front who are good players. There’s also a part of me that’s like I don’t know that I fully believe in them against like a real like a like a real heavyweight team. That’s fair in a playoff game. But I believe in them to the point that I think they are a legitimately good football team. Like I don’t think it’s just schedule [ __ ] They’re they’re a real team. Like if I’ll say this, let’s say they’re the two seed and they play the Chargers in the opening round. I expect them to beat them. Yeah. You know, like I expect them to beat the Chargers to win against Denver at home. But like although Denver might be a bad match because one thing New England can’t do is block that might actually be a nightmare. But like the Chargers are like if they play Pittsburgh or something like I would expect New England and I know New England even lost Pittsburgh because they turned over five times. I would expect them to win that game. So, you know, hey, listen to the Pat’s credit, seems like they’ve got it going again, man. May’s really good. Rabbel’s a good coach. Um, not to tie it back to the first segment, but this might be the Bill’s worst nightmare of all time. It has to be, right? Like, they finally got rid of New England, then Kansas City just beats them every year when it matters, and now Kansas City and New England have just teamed up to be like, you know what, we’re just going to be good for 15 more years. And it just Yeah, just absolute disaster. But in any event, no, I I give them a lot of credit. It’s a big win. If you’re Tampa, like you’re going to win the division. Yeah. Whatever. But, you know, you could have gotten to 72. Like, that that conference is wide open seating wise, man. You know, so that that’s where that hurts is the seating more than it like camp is going to win their division. Just like where you seed into it. Yeah. Drake May 270 for him today on 16 of 31 passing. Trey van Henderson had 147 yards uh on the ground with two touchdowns for him that long of run. 69 was his touchdown run. Nice little run for him. I saw that that that run would just like all of a sudden it just opened and you’re like, “Oh, there’s no one there.” Like there’s that blocked up really. It was unbelievable. I kept waiting for like a safety to fill. I’m like, “No, he’s not gonna like there’s there’s nobody else there.” Like it was just like really blocked up. Well, uh so let’s look at kind of uh the standings right now in the playoff picture. Uh because I just pulled up the standings, Matt, and do you know everyone in the AFC North has a negative point differential? I didn’t. That’s hilarious. Yeah, minus 8 point differential for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They currently lead the division right now at 5-4. The Ravens are four and five with a minus 6 point differential. The Bengals have a minus 84 point differential and the Browns have a – 65 point differential. I mean, and and to be fair, I mean, the Bengals point differential is only negative because they’ve given up 2,000 points. Yeah. I mean, the Bengals just scored another touchdown and yet are down by 10. Um, they have 300 points against in 10 games. Oh my god. And they they nine games. Nine games. Sorry. Yeah. Mhm. That’s crazy, dude. They have the worst point differential in the AFC except for the Titans. That’s didn’t man. Yeah. And in the NFC, the only team that’s worse is New Orleans. That’s also Yeah. No, you don’t want to be held up in their guard with with those two franchises. I mean, they’ve given Have they given up the most points? Um, it’d be Oh, yeah. They have to 300. 300 is Oh, yeah. Nobody’s watching that. The Commanders are 280, but they play an extra game. That’s insane. That’s so bad. The Chiefs have only given up 159. Really? Yeah. H 76 point differential. They actually lead the AFC West in point differential. And that the whole AFC except for Indianapolis. That’s insane. And they are better than them. Indianapolis, Detroit by seven points. And then the Seahawks and the Rams. So the Chiefs are fifth best in points of French and the third best in their division right now in ranking standings and like actually winning games. Yes. Yeah. At at winning football games. Uh playoff picture right now. It is. It is kind of fun. They sort of throw it up. They started to throw up the playoff picture, right? And like the broadcast, right? You get the in the hunt section, then you get like the wild card Chiefs in in the in the hunt section. A lot of in the hunt for the Chiefs this year. Lots of in the hunt. Yes. Um while being Super Bowl favorites in every book, which is just crazy. The funniest possible outcome for this season is they just get a seven seed and they just annihilate everybody. But like if you look at the AFC, if you really look at the Con and look, obviously we’re so far out like it’s impossible really, you know, if they’re the seven seed and I said to you their path to the Super Bowl at Indie, at New England, at Baltimore, you can’t probably do it, right? Like I dig it. Yeah. You know, I mean, also the funniest thing would be if it was like at New England, at Indianapolis, and it was at Buffalo, and they just killed them, right? Yeah. Just smoked them. Like, all right. But it’s I mean, the AFC is so upside down this year in the sense that like the teams that are going to be lowest like Baltimore, Kansas City, Buffalo, everyone’s going to expect them to win these games. And then the teams that are highest which you know could be Denver and you know Indianapolis anyway people are like not gonna know whether they should believe in them or not right whole thing but anyway go ahead about the playoff page. I I think it I think it is really interesting when you look at it the wild card teams right now are the Chargers Bills and Jags which the Jaguars we just it’s not going to happen. We haven’t talked about that game yet but boy how we’re going to get there. Um 92% play uh playoff percent probability for the Colts to make it. 91% for the Broncos, by the way, too. I have you seen the tweet going around about winning the division percent chance going on? Like if the if the Broncos win it uh win the game on Sunday, they have like a 90ome 87% chance. Yeah. But if the Chiefs win it, they like become division favorites, which is also hilarious. Um because well, this will be their third division game this year, right? Uh this will be for the Chiefs. is Yes. They’re information right? Yes. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, cuz they play they they’ll have to play the Broncos twice, the Chargers once, and then the Raiders end out the season. Um I Man, the Steelers The Steelers currently are the four seed in the in the AFC. And according to NFL.com, have a 39% chance to make the playoffs in general. And they’re the four seed right now. their division leader because they are giving the Ravens a 73% chance to uh win to to make the playoffs and win the division. I I think the Ravens right now are the odds on favorite to win that division uh with just how their schedule shapes up and everything. And the Steelers look horrid, dude. The Steelers look so bad. The Steelers are what we call around these parts super mega ass. Yeah. Um they are. Yeah, they they’re not good. Um, I mean, right now as we’re sitting here, everything is just completely up in the air. Like, the Chiefs are the eight seed. Mhm. Which is not a thing in the NFL. Okay. True. As as sitting here, the Athletic gives the Chiefs 76% odds to make the playoffs, 23% to win the division. The Chargers are 31. The Broncos are 46. However, if the Chiefs, pull this up right here. Okay. If the Chiefs win this game against Denver, their chances to win the division go to 38%. If they lose, they go down to 7%. Yeah. Right. All right. So, like, and if the Chiefs just if they if they sweep Denver, then they’re the odds on favorite to win the division. It’s not even close. So, like that’s what this is all about. Like like we can sit here and talk about all these other games with the Chiefs and everything. None of this crap matters. If they beat Denver on Sunday, I know that in the standings they’re still a game and a half back and they’re game back and the loss. They control their own destiny at that point. Yeah. If they then like they’ll have to be Denver at home, but like all right, fine. And listen, I’m going to go out on a limb here and say I think Denver’s going to lose a few games. Denver, credit to them. like they’re winning games because their defense is really good. To take that away from them is not fair. Their defense is really, really good. And they’re winning games because they’re getting a ton of pressure on the quarterback and they’re kicking ass up front. At the same point, they are they are needing like borderline divine intervention to beat the Raiders and the Titans and the Jets and the Giants all at home. Okay? Like, right, I’m going to go out and say I don’t think they’re going to beat the Packers. I don’t I don’t like if the Chiefs, now this is the biggest if known to mankind. If the Chiefs are awake and play well, I don’t think they’re beating the Chiefs in either game. Yeah. I would also tell you I think Broncos Chargers in week 18 at Denver has the chance to be the funniest playoff game ever witnessed. Like anything’s on the Herbert’s going to get hit 27 times in that game and yet they might win. Like the Chiefs just have to go out on Sunday and function. They need to just be awake, play football. Here’s a stat that I I threw this out on my my podcast over on Only Fans. Uh just kidding, Patreon. Um but don’t don’t search for me on Only Fans. A, you’ll find nothing and B what you will find has got to be just terrible. Um so I was doing this research. NFL Pro is an awesome It is good. Yeah. Right. Like it’s the only thing I’ll use for the I’ll give the nerds credit for that. It’s good. Um fine. So this is kind of obvious but also like fairly jarring. So Mahomes when he throws under two and a half seconds is um you know this is bad. I mean I’ll I’ll filibuster here while I talk. So they they give you this breakdown of like under and over two and a half seconds like how effective you are and all. There’s a million other breakdowns they do too, but like so for Momes this year when he has had throws coming out under two and a half seconds. He’s completing 74% of his EPA is 15.2 too. And yeah, um he’s he’s not been sacked one time uh when he’s been now obviously, you know, part of he’s getting rid of the ball so fast, right? Yeah. Denver has 46 sacks this year on throws that have come under two and a half seconds, they have one sack. Now, obviously, again, like no [ __ ] The fast you get rid of the ball, but my point is if they get rid of the ball in two and a half seconds, you’re basically eliminating their pass rush. Yeah. And I understand that. Hey, look, then you’re going to have to beat, you know, the corners quicker and you’re have to win faster and but I gotta tell you, if you’re the Chiefs, I think that’s the bet you make in the game. Mhm. Um, and so I I I went into detail like crazy, too. But I I think, you know, in this game, like Denver’s pass rush is crazy, but if Certan’s not playing, it’s not exactly like this. The corners aren’t overwhelming if Certan isn’t there. They’re good. Like Bri Moss is good, but he’s not Certan. And if I’m the Chiefs, I’m like, “Cool.” Like, I feel good against Rash like Rashid Rice against any of these dudes. Yeah. I don’t care. Um, meanwhile, by the way, we’re talking about Bon Knicks. Oh, yeah. Bon has some interesting splits. Um, Boicks is worse when you don’t blitz him, which is kind of shocking. Um, when you blitz him, his EPA is 10.8. When you don’t blitz, it’s -10.9. Like when you blitz, he has six touchdowns and a pick. And when you when you don’t blitz, he has 12 touchdowns and seven picks. He’s also horrific against zone coverage. Like just cannot discern what the hell he’s doing as his own look. Right. Right. Also, I went back and looked at this and I’m gonna I’m gonna put this into your chat so you can see this while we’re doing this. Look, look at Bone Knicks. For anyone who can’t see this, Bone Knicks, his chart, his passing chart, the Dots chart against the Raiders, right, is one of the most hilarious charts you’ll ever look at in your life. So, hang on, I got to sign in. Oh, you got time. So, he threw 28 passes in the game. And if if we’re talking about the right side of the field being right of the hash marks, um, and in most cases like pretty far right of the hash marks, he completed 16 passes. 12 of them were to the right side of the field and 10 of them were either behind the line of scrimmage to the right side of the field or within seven yards of the line of scrimmage. So like basically put nine guys just in the flat on the right hand side and you have a winner. Like he just doesn’t like he just wouldn’t throw it anywhere but the right side of the field the entire game. No. And it’s like that’s that’s probably not great. Um just just Yeah. I don’t just odd man. the whole thing with him and like this is not like okay so normally he doesn’t sort of the right side of the field but like you look at his passing chart everything’s just under 10 yards and you know it caught my attention I was like huh so I wonder like when he throws deep how does that go for him well let me tell you how it goes for him when he throws over 20 yards in the air he’s 11 to 42 but here’s what’s really because like here’s what really stands out intermediate whereas Mahomes by the way has been cooking like nobody’s business this year like he’s no 10 to 19 air yards. Bonix is 31 of 66 for a 47% completion rate. He he has a a negative 8.9 completion over expected, which is rancid. And oh, by the way, four touchdowns and five picks. Kansas City should be putting 11 guys inside that zero to nine yard area if they please try to throw it over our heads. Mes uh yeah but in any event that yeah a little preview there but yeah I we all saw what happened Thursday night was an affront to both the Lord and the sport. Yeah, that I mean there are some times where I will think about that game. There’s sometimes that have happened and I just will laugh to myself because it’s like what what was that? Like what was that football game that we watched? And people are trying to convince themselves that Bo Nicks is a is a quarterback. And I think that that I’m not even going to say good quarterback. They’re trying to convince themselves that he is a quarterback and he’s not like he’s not fun to watch. There’s been nothing good. And I think you brought up a phenomenal point on our show on Friday is you can tell like the fans are booing them mercilessly when their offense is on the field. Like that is a that is a that is an indicator that things are not going okay in Denver. Even though their record says 8-2 as much as everyone wants to say in my responses to the ass list of oh well this team is 8-2 and that team is five and four so how come they’re there? It’s like watch the games. Yes, that’s really what it comes down to is watch these teams play football and you can tell how good these teams are. Any any human being who tweets that Bon Knicks is good. I blocked him on Twitter. You should. You can’t have that in your like well you know he threw four touchdowns against the Bengals. Great. Adjusted for Bengals. That’s like that’s like one touchdown, right? Okay. Like AFB adjusted for Bengals, right? AFJ is more prevalent, but every once in a while like for sure lesser known stat. Yeah. Yes. More more analytical. Um I don’t care if he threw four touchdowns against So like if you look at his numbers this year here here’s all you need to know about Bonex. You like I am This is going to sound like I’m joking, but I’m dead serious. So his game log this season, the two worst defenses in the league and maybe of human history are the Bengals and the Cowboys. Yeah. And in those two games, he drew for 326 and 247 with six touchdowns and somehow two picks. Okay, the rest of the year in the other eight games he’s played in, he’s thrown 12 touchdowns. Like, who gives a [ __ ] I don’t care. like he had he had a he had a three-week stretch where he didn’t I see he had it yeah he had a three-week stretch between the Indie game which fair enough the Bengals and the Cowboys nine of his 18 touchdowns like six of them came against Cincinnati and Dallas so other than that great awesome you’ve thrown 12 touchdowns in eight games great fantastic and also by the way In eight games, not including those two bozo teams, he has gone for 7.2 yards per attempt or less. In seven of the other eight games, that’s impossible, right? So, yeah, that that’s the next time somebody’s like, well, you know, Bon Knicks really is just John Elway just in a different ear, know that that person is not well and call a hotline. Um, that that would be my advice. Up to you. If they if if the Chiefs do lose that game, there’s a chance that we have a live aneurysm on the podcast. Like there is there is no and and I know how this is gonna how what I’m going to say and like how it’s going to come off. There’s no reason that the Chiefs would lose this team. There’s no reason the Chiefs would lose to the Broncos other than they just do the same game plan that they do week three of the preseason that they did against the Bills, too. That they recycled that game plan. But this le this this year has been so [ __ ] insane. Never lose to the Bills and then bang. Look, I agree with you in theory. Like the Broncos have a great pass rush. Yeah. The rest of that team, like defensively, the rest of the defense is good, but it’s not like oh my god. Especially if Satan’s not playing right. The offense is a disaster. It’s so bad. This game is going to be like 21 to 18 with like five minutes left. And I I just prepared myself for Bon Knicks just charging down the field in the fourth quarter and the Chiefs needing like Chamari Connor to make a play in the slot. Like I just prepared like in a in a normal world the Chiefs would just be out and beat this team like 27 to 10, right? And who knows, you know, like that’s the thing though. That’s the thing about this team. You never know. If you said to me that the Chiefs do beat him 27 to 10, I bet you I could believe that. And if you said to me the Chiefs lose this game 20 to 17 cuz they just they just just vomit all over themselves before. I mean, I said like, but this is the division in my opinion because if they lose this game, they’re toast. Yeah. If they win this game, I I have no reason to believe they’re not going to win at home against Denver on a short week in prime time. Like I have no reason. That’ll be like one of the three games to actually get up for this entire season. So, like I think they’ll win the division. If they win this game, I think they’ll win the division. If they lose this game, I think they’re completely cooked. And at that point, like they might make the playoffs, but they’re fighting for a wild card, which ridiculous how this team is as talented as it is, fighting for a wild card is just gross. But that’s that’s what happens when you don’t even try to beat the Bills, at least your game plan appears that way, and you somehow lose to Jacksonville, who, by the way, I guess we can close on that note. Nice. fight Jacksonville today. They let Davis Mills dice them up in the fourth quarter. Yeah. What are what are how did the Chiefs lose to that team? Every time I watch the Jacksonville Jaguars play football, it infuriates me because the Chiefs lost to them. Obviously, I know Mahomes threw a 99 yard pick six and they had 13 penalties and like that’s really how they lost, right? It is so frustrating to watch the Jags go on and play football because they are who we thought they were. Matt, remember the week leading up to that game, you and I were like, they haven’t played anybody. They’ve nearly lost to literally everyone they’ve played and they’re not good. They’re not good. And then the Chiefs go ahead and lose to them, which that’s happened a few times this this year actually now that I think about it that we’ve spent a whole week talking about how the Chiefs should obliterate teams and teams are not good and then the Chiefs lose to them. Um, yeah, it’s been fine. Yeah. So, like this year is so [ __ ] weird, dude. Like, it’s it’s so it’s so much weirder than than in years past. I don’t know what’s going on. Like, I don’t know if it’s uh the kicking balls or if it’s the the new kickoff rule adjusting. I don’t know if that’s what it is at all, but this we this year this year has been so weird. And the Jags, I think, are a prime example of why it’s so weird. Jacksonville is up 29-10. Yeah. playing against, as you said earlier, against Davis Mills. Davis Mills. And not only, by the way, did they win the game, Houston. Um, they’re favored by one and a half in that game. And they were up 30 to 29 on the last play of the game. Uhhuh. And Houston picked up a fumble and ran a pack for a touchdown. It was a pick. It never hit the ground. That’s You’re right. It was It was a pick. You’re right. You’re right. It was a pick. They ran a pack for a touchdown. So they covered because good things win but great teams cover and Houston is clearly a great team. That last drive was actually so comical because the kick they kick off right and I’m like what the [ __ ] is Houston doing? They let them get the like the run they run it back up because they only need like 10 yards at that point to get into field goal range for Cam Little. So I’m like oh of course Jacksonville’s going to go down and they’re going to hit a field goal. So I was explaining to Tara I was like all right they got a young kicker who can really who’s got real big legs so they don’t have to go very far. far. And she’s like, “How do you determine field goal range?” I was like, “Well, your your kicker how far your kicker can kick it.” She’s like, “Well, then you have to tell the ref or the where your field goal range is.” I was like, “No, like that doesn’t have to field goal range is arbitrary. Like it it doesn’t it’s not like necessarily a set spot.” And she’s like, “Okay.” So, had to explain what field goal range was. And I was like, “This guy only basically needs him to get to the 50 yard line.” And then they put up like the the target field goal line. I was like, “See, you only got to get to like the 50.” Um, and then the first play, was that the first play Trevor Lawrence took that sack and and it was just he just got smoked and then you had the interception at the end of the game. They just could not get out of their way. Um, they had a penalty I think in there as well, a hands to the face penalty that backed them up after they did have one really big play and then they had illegal hands to the face and then it was the pick right after that. Uh, just a brutal ending. That final drive was actually so hilarious. And if you go and you look at the I’m on NFL.com looking at kind of the uh the scoring drive recap, the fourth quarter of just being four Texans touchdowns is hilarious of it just being 17 plays 65 yards touchdown. Eight plays 51 yards touchdown. 18 plays 80 yards touchdown. Seven plays nine yards touchdown. Um to end the game. And let’s let’s not let’s not overlook what Jacksonville’s drive chart looked like in the fourth quarter of that game. It’s a Yep. Great. Good point. Which was three plays, negative four yards, punt, three plays, six yards, punt, three plays, negative yard, punt, and then one yard on three drives. Yeah. And Houston had, let’s see, 65 and 51. Thank god for a calculator on the computer. and 93. So, Houston outgain gained them 209 to one in the fourth quarter. Well done by Jacksonville. Just really just well executed there. Like kneel on it three times and just you like I mean my god man how do you screw that up to that extent? Like just and then like also too like the punts were all like the punt was 42 yards. Their first dog [ __ ] punts. Second punt was 42 yards. Come on. You know do anything. Not a real football team, man. Yeah, they they that team everybody’s like, “Well, you know, they’re in the playoff spot.” Yeah, it’s nice. The seven spot should be just like filled in by like a like like a an egg avatar. Uhhuh. Right. Because it’s not Jacksonville. Yeah, it’s definitely not. I mean, they do have the same rank or the same uh record as the Chiefs right now at five and four. They who they beat have the headto head. It just defies the Chiefs. Oh my god. The Chiefs this year. They’re going to give me a mental breakdown. I Why do you Why do you think that? Uh, why do you I I’ve got two questions for you before we end this podcast, Matt. Why do you think this this the this year has had so much parody in it? I don’t know that there’s like a reason. I just think it’s one of these years where the the team like the best team, so to speak, like the the the the blue bloodoods, if you will. There you go. The Eagles had an odd start to the year. the Chiefs were hurt at the beginning of the year andor suspended because they they can’t drive cars legally and then uh and then and then just it’s the same. Um I mean, let’s be real, that’s a big part of why the Chiefs are sitting where they’re sitting. Yeah. You know, the Bills, they did the 2023 Chiefs thing where they were like, “Add somebody, please. We have Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel. We’re fine.” Okay. Scotty Moares, Tony R1 and two. We’re fine. We’re right. And then and then the Texans were like, “Our offensive line’s great. We have Lake and Tomlinson. Don’t worry about it.” So like I think a lot of these teams at the top just got complacent with their rosters. The Chiefs, to their credit, I don’t know that I’d say got complacent. I think it was just more of like Worthy got hurt, right suspended, and it was a disaster. Yeah. Um a lot of injuries, you know, around the league this year. Feels like as well. True. You know, Baltimore had a bunch of injuries at the start of the year. Mhm. So, I think it’s like a combination of things. I don’t think there’s any like one like like I think it’s just an outlier. I don’t think it’s just going to be like the new normal in the NFL. I think it’s just one of these like weird years. Yeah. Uh uh last question I have for you. Was this a good buy for the Chiefs? Like in terms of like results? Yeah, I think so. I mean, the Bills lost, Jacksonville lost. Um, I mean, Denver won, but they lost. Like, like we we all saw that. That was the whole country bearing witness to that. Denver and LA both win. So, like that’s kind of a bummer, but like other than that, they both won. But again, I I don’t really If you’re the Chiefs, just win your divisional games. Yeah. I’m like, it doesn’t like the Chiefs are oddly in a spot like no, I’m not saying they’re going to do this, but if the Chiefs were to find a way to get their act together and actually win out, which I honestly think if they win the next two games, they like almost should. They will, but like certainly could. They own they would own the tiebreaker on the Colts because they would have beaten them. Mhm. They will win the division if they’re 13 and four. Like that’s going to happen because they also own the tiebreaker on on Denver. like they’ll they’ll win the division. Um they would also want the tiebreaker on New England because they have a better conference record. M so um if they went out like they’re they’re probably the one seed and like I’m not saying they’re going to do that because eight games and these next two games are really tough and like I’m not you’d be a [ __ ] to sit here and be like no I just think this five and four teams just going to rip off eight straight wins. Right. Right. Yeah. But I I I feel like you’d also equally be a [ __ ] if you were like oh no there’s no way this team could do that. like they’ve they’ve had eight game I mean how many times in Andy Reid’s tenure that is that team went eight straight games. It’s got to be almost like every other season, right? Like Yeah. I mean in 2023 I know they did it cuz they started nine and0. Mhm. And then in 2014 I I highly doubt they did it. 2015 they won 10 in a row to end the season. Right. You know, like they did it that year. 2016 they won eight of nine. Um 2017 was the last year without Mahomes. I talked about that year. Uh 2018 they won nine of their first 10. 2019 they they didn’t do it because Mahomes got her in the middle of the year. But then obviously 2020 they did 15 and one. Um or 142 they lost the last game. Didn’t matter. They won they did it in 2020. They did it in 2021. They they won 10 of of 11 in 2022. The 20.3 team had a six-game win streak. Okay, which I I don’t know. And then last year they were 9 and0. Like with Momes, they are more likely than not to have an eightgame win streak at some point in the season. It’s like maybe they don’t do it, but if they win their next two games, tell me the game that you’re like, “Yeah, they’re going to lose that game.” Right. So, we’ll see. But these next two are massive. But yeah, I think the by-week overall for the Chiefs, not the worst of wrap. No, I think I think it was a good one. I mean, the division results, like you obviously would have liked the Chargers to lose, but the the Packers are just the Packers, sorry. The Steelers are just really bad. Yeah. They’re not good. I also appreciate the Raiders commitment to their bit, by the way. Yeah, the Raiders are just like, “Everybody thought we were going to revamp and rebuild. Guess what?” Said, “Nope. Not on our watch, boys.” Gino I I I need I need more Gopics in my life. I need I like I like the the Sosa Maguire aspect of it. They’re the I’m telling you. I You know what? I’m gonna take up the cost. I’m gonna start tweeting it out. should every I’m going to every time there’s a there’s a pick thrown by one of those two clowns like I’m just going to throw it up there. But I really the NFL has got to step up here. Uhhuh. We need a Sosa Maguireesque out of town scoreboard tracker and I really I just I want it in like the Cleveland Tennessee game we were talking about earlier. Uhhuh. and everyone’s getting ready to just throw themselves into Lake Erie. And then Tua just throws some acid pick against Cincinnati and everything. Oh my god, it’s his 17th of the year. Like it’s just chaos. Like people are going berserkers are gambling on it. Like right, I’m all in. Like let’s And then like somebody else might like if you remember that year um oh god there was somebody else who hit like a billion home runs that year but no one even remembers. Um, I’d have to look back, but like maybe there’s like a hard charging third candidate. Uh-huh. You know, like an independent candidate coming into the presidential race who like the Ross Perau of the NFL. Ross Perau. Yes. Right. Who who like for like five minutes people thought 92 could like win the election. Um like maybe you know maybe there’s like I’ll look up real quick who that person could be. But like maybe we get like a third candidate in there who’s hilarious. Um, so like Gino’s, you know, Gino’s leading the way to a But then actually here, you know what? Here we go. So it’s like, by god, that’s Bo Nick’s music. Like just three picks. You’re like, oh my god, he’s like he’s he’s with he’s back in it. He’s back in it. And like everybody’s watching like when they play some [ __ ] Monday night game that otherwise nobody would care about, but he launches one into traffic and just batting up in the air. Uhhuh. And Joe Buck, like of course Jack Buck called like all those Magguire home runs, right? So Joe Buck is like obscenely into this. He’s like up in the air 15. It’s 15. Like it’s just like Aman’s going crazy up in the booth. Like that’s that’s the kind of thing we need in a season filled with parody. Give me a Tua Gino can’t stink anymore off. Yeah. And we just have like a an out of town score going. the Knicks gets close enough that like we start getting like a three-way battle. Like I DraftKings is like he’s plus 500 to do it. Like we we need that. That’s what we need. I’m all in. I just looked it up. Uh King Griffy said finished third in 98. I think it was King Griffy that was uh that was with him a little bit and then it obviously tapered off because he wasn’t hitting the Roy as hard as Magguire and Sosa. But that’s right. He didn’t want it bad enough. No, he did. Some people wish for it. They work for it, man. I tell you what, some people have Andro just just pouring out of their eyelids. And Griffy, you know, didn’t have the heart of a champion. Only had 56 that year because he wouldn’t wouldn’t jam 18 B12 shots into his ass cheek. And here we are. Who’s this Vaughn fella that was fourth or Greg Vaughn? Oh, he could get hit. Yeah, he could. Four time all-star silver slugger. A ton of teams. I mean, a lot of lot of teams. Holy cow. Hired hired gun as far as I’m concerned. Greg Vaughn was uh Greg Vaughn I always think of him as like the Brewers and the Padres’s but yeah he yeah most of his career at those teams but then yeah it was like he caught a couple years with Tampa had a random 45 home run year with Cincinnati. Sure nothing I sure I’m sure there was no external factors in that one. No. Yeah. His whole career he was hitting like 23 19 then how do you feel about boom 41 in 1996? Nothing h it’s like you know it’s kind of like man like it’s kind of like those like pop stars in the 80s who all of a sudden like they were just like regular people and then all of a sudden they were just running down the street at 25 miles an hour like just just eyes wide open. Had slept in four days like no nothing to see here. It’s fine. Where’d he come from? Oh, Studio 54. Oh, he’s good. Yeah, he’s fine. Nothing. Fine. Just excited. It’s Tuesday. Crazy. All right. Well, we’ll be back on um Friday. Preview Chiefs and Broncos a little bit more. Go a little bit deeper into a Monday night game. Uh Packers Eagles, right? Is that the Monday night? I’ll be there. I’ll cover the game. I’m in person after that one. Cover the game for us. Matt will be there. Follow him on Twitter, Matt Verram. Uh, let me double check the uh, podcast reviews real quick before we uh, sign off here. Uh, maybe Matt, we I should get you on so we can do some sporal some sporal quizzes. Yeah, we got to figure that out this week. Um, yep. Trying to think what day. I have a sparkle the winner. Okay. You know, um, good Tuesday. I have a sporal quiz pulled up right now. It’s NFL passing leaders bonanza that I was I was doing sporal before you hopped on. Uh, can you name the QBs who are the all-time leaders in these categories? It’s 45,000 45,000 plus passing yards. It’s 350 plus passing touchdowns, 40 plus gamewinning drives, 250 interceptions. I’ll send you the link. Um, but there’s a lot of them on here. And there’s a receiving one as well. I’ll tell you right now, if I don’t get every single one of them, I’ll be disappointed myself. That’s you only have six minutes. It’s a quick timer. Um, but I think if you enter your I think if you like enter your like name for one quarterback, it fills in all the other spots that they are, right? So, I think if you just like start spraying and praying of just like all of the the usual suspects, you should probably get there. You know, I would be I am an I am a major like history freak, so I if I can’t do it, I’m gonna be pissed. I I get very annoying when there’s like one guy that I forget there. Uh, you know, I’ve been doing a lot of the 2010 stuff because the 2020 twins is like kind of like my sweet spot of like the of what I know. I keep [ __ ] forgetting that Ryan Tanhill played for the Dolphins. See, that’s we’d be good cuz I’m actually better with stuff like from like way back. He like studied so long and like 2010s I’m like who the Jai who or what buddy? That is my That is my That’s my right there. God, who the [ __ ] that? Are you kidding? That That guy was a person, right? Yeah. I just forget. I had no idea. But he was born He was Yeah, he was born in like London, I’m pretty sure. Sure. Um Jai was uh I ever So I used to when I played fantasy, people would I I drafted him one year and I could not pronounce his name. Aai like I just get say that JG or or whatever like you cannot draft him because you cannot pronounce his name. Uh the whole T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T T TJ H Mada type of deal. Uh I think I’ve already read this one about H maybe I haven’t read this one. This was two days ago. We wouldn’t have recorded a podcast two days ago. Oh. Uh great shows. This is from Read Your Keys. Great shows. All the shows do a great job of blending informative analysis and commentary with fun. No one takes themselves too seriously, and all the shows really work. Nate takes it a bit too far with the voices and the frequency in which he does it. But overall, great network, great content. Tucker and Matt are my goats. Appreciate it. Read your keys. That’s right. Just he he’s here what we need to do. We need you to leave comments on obviously the YouTube video. Leave your five star rating reviews on Spotify, Apple Podcast, but then just tell in in your reviews tell uh the in your review say how much better we are than every other show on the network. You need to say that we are so much better than Only Weird Games and uh The Lab. I we need you guys to do that for us. And in the comment section of the YouTube video, say, “Wow, I love this show. It’s so much better than The Lab and Only Weird Games.” and I will screenshot them and be like, “Wow, we didn’t even tell these guys to say this and they’re saying it.” Uh, we’re trying to start more beefs and they will not reciprocate the beef with us, Matt. We’ll get them. We will. And that’s why we’re bringing the people into it, right? We’re bringing the people into it to kind of help us. Yeah. We’ll piss them off. It’d be fine. That’s good. Maybe I’ll just show up like one day when they’re doing all weird games and just demand like four four box thing and I’ll just I’ll just call them all hateful things and then just sign off. Well, see, here’s here’s a secret weapon is I I’ll be on the I’ll we can do it. It’s an inside job at that point, right? Yeah. You can just bring me up. Don’t even tell him, right? Like, and you know, nice substack keys and just just just start I got a boat to pick with this and just start screaming at him and just go off the air before he can say anything back to me. That’s perfect. That’s perfect. All right. So, uh be on the lookout for our that football show aired on Friday will be a deeper preview into Broncos Chiefs. Matt, I mean, we’ll we’ll get you on. We’ll do some sporal for like an hour. Uh thinking of all of the all of the uh things that we can think of on the sparkle. We’ll dig deep there. But on the KCSN live, it’ll be live at noon. Noon to 1 is usually what we’re doing there from uh Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Uh we’ll make sure to promote it as well. So for me, I’m Terra Franco. Thank you for listening all the way to the end of that football show. Thank you to our sponsors Ben Holiday, Bottle and Bond Bourbon, and Holiday Distiller. We love those folks there.
