00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,520 JCS on every platform, we grow in adaptation. 13 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,320 Numbers going up the charts, we create the separation. 14 00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:27,360 Louisiana, till I die, is where I'm from, I can't replace it. 15 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,400 Some people's minds are obtuse, but I like to be adjacent. 16 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,880 Giving my opinion like I'm Nick Bright or I'm Jason. 17 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,840 ESPN, better watch out, cause I'm coming for the spaceship. 18 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,800 We even tweeting on Twitter,

pavement. 21 00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:47,600 I might be controversial, but I like to make my statement. 22 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:52,480 This is just a time sports, come and get your weekly takes. 23 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,440 His opinion from the heart, he can never show you fake. 24 00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:03,760 Look, if you winning or you losing, he gonna tell it to you straight. 25 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:08,080 This is just a time sports, come and get your weekly takes. 26 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,360 He gonna tell it to you straight. 27 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,160 To you straight. 28 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,080 Welcome into the show. 29 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,600 I have a ton of energy this morning recording this. 30 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,720 Of course, you guys know it's an instant release show. 31 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,800 I am absolutely excited to be here. 32 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,280 I'm excited to be with you guys this morning. 33 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,720 I cannot overestimate that. 34 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,520 How happy I am if there any exciting division around that we kind of deserve 35 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,600 this football fans like a lot of you. 36 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,760 Cuz we had a blowout field wild card around, 37 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,760 saying it's a couple of moments obviously Jayden Daniels what he did in Tampa. 38 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,240 We had a couple of moments there in the wild card around that was exciting, 39 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,640 but for the most part the games were cakewalks. 40 00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:02,640 However, the division around delivered four bangers, 41 00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:08,000 even though the biggest margin of victory was 14, which is commanders and lines. 42 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,680 And we'll touch on them of course. 43 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,480 None of these games fell out of reach until the last, 44 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,840 even the commanders and lines with like three minutes left. 45 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,120 People were like, if this happens and that happens, this line's offense. 46 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,240 So banger out the banger of a game. 47 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,920 We're gonna start off with Texans at Chiefs. 48 00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:28,880 So this is how we're gonna do this. 49 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:29,760 There's only four games. 50 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,080 We're gonna rip off a lot of numbers at first. 51 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,760 And then we're going to get into some analysis of course. 52 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,840 So Texans at Chiefs in the division around, open up the division around card weekend. 53 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,160 We're gonna get into numbers first, we'll get into what happened. 54 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,080 So CJ Stroud, 19 of 28, 245, no touchdowns, no picks. 55 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,040 Patrick Mahomes, 16 of 25, 177, one touchdown. 56 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,920 No picks, Joe Mixon, 88 yards on 18 carries and a touchdown. 57 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,440 Kareem Hunt led the Chiefs 44 yards on 8 carries and a touchdown. 58 00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,520 The Chiefs only ran for, okay, the official stat is 50. 59 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,640 But that because of Matt Ariza's purposeful safety. 60 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,800 So really the official stat is 68. 61 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,840 However, the Texans ran for a buck 49. 62 00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:26,640 KC's main receiver, of course, playoff time, Travis Kelsey. 63 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,320 Seven for a buck 17 and touchdown. 64 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,760 Houston's main receiver was Nikko Collins, 5 for 81. 65 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,640 That's pretty much all the individual stats that anyone cares about. 66 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,240 And then looking at the team stats, first downs 18 to 14 Texans. 67 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,120 The Texans confided more third downs. 68 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:48,960 Texans ran more plays. 69 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:54,720 The Texans had 124 more yards. 70 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,760 They had one more yard per play. 71 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,240 They had 25 more yards passing. 72 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,320 They had officially 100 more rushing yards. 73 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,520 However, the big number, two big numbers that jump out when you go into the box score. 74 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,920 They even had the ball for more time, seven more minutes. 75 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,320 The big number that jump out in the box score is penalties. 76 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,160 The Texans had eight penalties for 82 yards. 77 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,960 The Chiefs had four penalties, 29 yards. 78 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,240 Neither team turned the ball over. 79 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,160 And in the red zone, the Texans were one for three. 80 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,160 The Chiefs two for five. 81 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,440 All right, so now that the numbers are out of the way, let's get into the analysis itself. 82 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,320 This game, and I want to take nothing away from the Chiefs. 83 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,320 Okay, I want to first, I want to give, I want to go through all the, 84 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,360 what I feel obligatory, obligatory moments. 85 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,960 Congratulations on the Chiefs for your seventh straight conference championship game. 86 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:56,480 Patrick Mahomes ridiculously has never played, has never started a season and 87 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,760 not finished it at least in the conference championship game. 88 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,080 He doesn't know what it's like to lose before this. 89 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,800 He's never felt that emotion in his life. 90 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,480 Congratulations to the, to Andy Reed. 91 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,440 He continues to march. 92 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,320 He becomes the third coach ever to win 300 total games between regular season and playoffs. 93 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,040 And he's within shouting distance of both Shula and Belichick. 94 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,400 I want to give credit to the Chiefs organization. 95 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,800 They continue to find studs, like I said. 96 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:36,000 The main, the main problem in continuing a dynasty and 97 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,320 a diagnostic run is retooling every year. 98 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,160 The first thing you gotta have is your quarterback and 99 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,520 gotta have a stable head coach. 100 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,120 It's retooling coordinators. 101 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:50,240 It's retooling personnel because when those guys are good on your team, 102 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,040 people are going to pay them to come off of your team. 103 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,280 And especially these days with how much quarterbacks taking up a percentage of 104 00:06:57,280 --> 00:06:59,840 the salary cap, it's really hard to keep retooling, 105 00:06:59,840 --> 00:07:02,640 especially if you're always picking 27th and below. 106 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,280 You don't get those superstars quote unquote every year. 107 00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:08,080 I know the NFL has so much talent, half the league's undrafted. 108 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:12,320 If you have a good GM like a Brett Beach, you can continue to retool and 109 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:13,280 that's what they've done. 110 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,920 And then every time they had to make a play, they've made it. 111 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,080 I mean, it's just they've blocked field goals, they've gotten scrambles, 112 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,800 they've come up with fumbles. 113 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,800 They've had, I said it'd be that drive because it's like they played the first 114 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:35,600 time Houston has, within one in case he puts together that long drawn out drive 115 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,760 almost to the T of what you want perfection wise and 116 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,680 they go by eight and they win the game. 117 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,720 I mean, they are just great situationally. 118 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:51,640 It's just every single time you need them to be off, they're not off, right? 119 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:57,840 And it's just, it's insane how they get it right every single time or 120 00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,200 I feel like they get it right every single time. 121 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:07,360 And on Houston side, this was a year that you battled through a CJ Stroud, 122 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:12,360 sophomore slump of a season, he was not nearly as good last year as he was this 123 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,080 year or he was not nearly as good this year as he was last year. 124 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:21,080 Cuz last year he went for 4,000 yards, 23 touchdowns, 125 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:27,200 five picks with 100 rating in a QBR, 100 perhaps rating in QBR 58. 126 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:31,480 This year he only played 15 games in his rookie year. 127 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,600 This year in 17 games, 3,700 yards, 128 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:39,720 20 touchdowns, 12 picks, passer rating of 87 and a QBR 49.9. 129 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:46,680 Basically at ultimately average cuz perfectly average is 50. 130 00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:51,880 So he did not have nearly the year, he even had three rushing touchdowns as a rookie. 131 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,120 He had none this year. 132 00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:54,560 So he didn't have nearly the season. 133 00:08:54,560 --> 00:08:57,560 He had a bit of a sophomore slump and they overcame that. 134 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,760 And I think Demeika Ryan's year two, your process, 135 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,000 people start understanding your process, 136 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,920 understanding your thought process, playing for you differently in situations. 137 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,320 And so you go through all of that, you hit all that. 138 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,320 And so credit leads to the Texans, you still find a way to win your division. 139 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,040 You still find a way to be in the fourth seed. 140 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,200 You won the first round of playoffs, right? 141 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,920 So good year in Houston, especially cuz you overcame Stefan Diggs blowing his ACL. 142 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,360 You overcame the devastating injury to the other wide receiver whose name 143 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,200 escapes me and I can't think of his name right now. 144 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,840 But you overcome the injury to him. 145 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,120 That happened in the Chiefs game, ironically, you overcome his injury. 146 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,680 So you lose two of your three best receivers later in the season. 147 00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:48,680 Nico Collins was in and out of the lineup all year. 148 00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,720 So congratulations to the Texans, right? 149 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:53,400 You have a lot to build on. 150 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,200 You own your draft now cuz you had to give up your freshman pick last year cuz of 151 00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,600 the Will Anderson trade, which, hey, worth it. 152 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,680 And so now you get your draft pick back, you got a good GM. 153 00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:08,680 You have your coach, you have your quarterback. 154 00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:12,480 You probably have your coordinator another year cuz I don't see, 155 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,040 I think Slovik is the OC in Houston. 156 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,920 I don't see Slovik getting a job this cycle. 157 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,880 I don't see either coordinator, any of your coordinators getting a job this cycle. 158 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,560 So you're gonna bring your whole staff back and you get CJ's trial in year three. 159 00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:28,320 And now again, Houston has to be a free agent destination. 160 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:33,080 I have a quarterback, I have the coach, they're always in their division. 161 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:34,840 They're gonna have cap space. 162 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,760 If I'm a free agent, Houston might be a free agent. 163 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,360 If I'm a T Higgins and it's Cincinnati can't come up with my money, 164 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,680 Houston could be a spot. 165 00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:47,880 I get a good quarterback, I got a good head coach, I'm gonna be the number one 166 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,040 receiver, but I have a dog next to me, Nico Collins. 167 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:53,160 I have Dolan Schultz, we can run the ball. 168 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,600 If I'm a receiver, I said this last year about being a running back. 169 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,560 I was like, if I was a running back, I would have looked at Houston. 170 00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:01,560 As just like, I'm the missing piece. 171 00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:04,280 If I'm a receiver, I'm looking at Houston. 172 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,360 Because I get my money, have a good quarterback, I'm not gonna be, 173 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,080 I may get the number one corner, but I won't get the covered role to me, 174 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,560 cuz Nico Collins is on the other side. 175 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,200 Like I still have Dolan Schultz in the middle of the field, and 176 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,480 Jinjo Mixon's that running back. 177 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,640 So you can't really load up on me because so many other pieces exist. 178 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:26,360 So if I'm a receiver, Houston can be my spot. 179 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,120 Okay, got it all out of the way. 180 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:34,760 At a certain point, I'm sick of having the conversation. 181 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,400 At a certain point, I'm tired of hearing about it in the national media. 182 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,760 And what's worse is, I'm tired of it being accurate. 183 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,080 The Kansas City Chiefs have the most favorable whistle I've ever seen in the NFL. 184 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,240 Now, I'm not 60, I'm not 70. 185 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,600 I don't remember what happened with the steel curtain. 186 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,960 But no one talked about the officials back then, right? 187 00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,360 I don't remember what happened with, my God, the 90s bills and 188 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,920 if they had kept getting a job call on the Super Bowl. 189 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,640 I don't remember that, right? 190 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:06,160 I wasn't there. 191 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,800 I'm 27, I have a Rolodex of fine football, about 20 years. 192 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:16,200 I remember moments briefly before that, or I've seen them enough where they feel 193 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:16,880 like I remember them. 194 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:21,000 But regardless, I have a football Rolodex of about 20 years. 195 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,960 NFL officiating discord, the NBA has always been a thing cuz officials matter so 196 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,280 much with files and stuff like that. 197 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:32,440 But NFL official discord and talking, 198 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:36,840 stuff in the media really only popped off about 10-ish, 12-ish years ago. 199 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,120 Well, no, the tuck rule. 200 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,480 The tuck rule was the first one, but then after that, 201 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,480 you don't really remember much of it up until about ten years ago. 202 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:49,920 The Kansas City Chiefs have the most favorable whistle ever seen. 203 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,920 And it's always at the worst moments. 204 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,520 It's always at the moment where they're like, their drive's gonna die, flag. 205 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:56,680 What? 206 00:12:56,680 --> 00:13:00,360 And the two players everyone's talking about is the roughing the passer penalty. 207 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:08,760 That it was third and 14, home throws an errant pass to Kelsey. 208 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,080 The crazy part is Kelsey is about three yards from it, it was a bad throw. 209 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:17,440 Texans gonna get the ball, they are managing the game pretty well. 210 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,240 And then a flag is on the ground. 211 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,000 For what? 212 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:29,280 Because top of Will Anderson's head touched the face mask of Patrick Mahomes. 213 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,400 They threw a roughing the passer call. 214 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,320 It wasn't more than two steps. 215 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,640 Will Anderson had to one step. 216 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,480 He swiped down, all the forcible contact is in Patrick Mahomes' chest. 217 00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,000 He didn't fall on him or anything, roughing the passer. 218 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,840 Are you freaking kidding me? 219 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,520 And of course, the Chiefs go down and get points. 220 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:54,200 Then later in the game, Mahomes is sliding, the two Texans hit each other. 221 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,800 And they call a penalty on them hitting each other. 222 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,320 He didn't even hit him. 223 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,200 If he was, it was incredibly minimal. 224 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:04,960 And the flag's out. 225 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,840 And of course, the Chiefs go down and get a touchdown. 226 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,920 And it's just like, and just those two players, 227 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,880 they went looking and goes, it happens every single time with that team. 228 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,800 Every single time with that team and those spots, they get that flag every time. 229 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:27,240 And at a certain point, I remember the Patriots weren't light. 230 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:27,960 I'm Patriots fans. 231 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,520 I remember we were hated. 232 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,440 We were hated because we beat you. 233 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,960 Not because we, to me, that was the flake gate, but that was a 45 to 7 game. 234 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,200 And the Indianapolis Colts had to play the footballs too. 235 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:43,360 Spy gate, okay, right, like whatever. 236 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,840 And then the tuck rule, cool. 237 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,680 But for the most part, we just beat you. 238 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,000 People got tired of us beating them. 239 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:02,600 Like we walked down, it was Patriots down four, two and a half. 240 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,960 The Patriots down four, minute 45 left, one time out. 241 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,760 And we marched down the field and scored a touchdown with 20 seconds left on you 242 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:11,680 repeatedly. 243 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,920 Like that's why people hated us, cuz we were better than you, a lot. 244 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:20,280 The Chiefs feel like y'all get hated because, god damn, 245 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:28,600 like every time they need that flag, they get it, every single time. 246 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:35,040 And so it's a situation where people are screaming, rigged. 247 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:44,720 Like there is no way that you get that flag every single time. 248 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:56,800 And so, and that's the beef with a lot of the Chiefs stuff is that they seem to get 249 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,400 that flag, like I said, every single time. 250 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,920 A little bit of breaking news into the show. 251 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,160 The Chiefs in Texans, the game we were just talking about actually, 252 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,560 was the most watched NFL game ever, a playoff or 253 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,720 a regular season game dated back to 1987. 254 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:20,920 And then Divisional Saturday was the best viewership in ten years. 255 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:27,760 So hey, people are still tuning in to football. 256 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:32,440 That's always gonna be a thing, NFL's king, right? 257 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,640 All right, moving on. 258 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,920 Coming out of the AFC, jumping to the NFC with the Washington Commanders with their 259 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,240 upset of the one seed Detroit Lions. 260 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,640 Absolutely spectacular game, a game again that was very, very high scoring. 261 00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,480 I mean, Washington score was 28 points in the second quarter. 262 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,680 It was a game that was incredibly high scoring. 263 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,280 Start to finish all the way through and like I said, 264 00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,920 even though this was the biggest margin of victory, it was 14. 265 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:05,320 Up until about three minutes left, you didn't really relax if you're Washington. 266 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,760 Again, let's run through the numbers. 267 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,640 Jaden Daniels, 22 of 31, 299, two touchdowns. 268 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,600 He was never sacked. 269 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:18,160 Jared Goff, 23 of 40, 313, one touchdown, three picks. 270 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,880 And also I will be remiss if I didn't mention David Montgomery's one for 271 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,320 one for 20 yards. 272 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,000 Teddy Bridgewater is one for one with three yards. 273 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,720 He was in for Jared Goff, was momentarily getting evaluated for a concussion. 274 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,760 And Jamison Williams, 0 for 1 with the interception. 275 00:17:33,360 --> 00:17:37,160 Again, got a little too cute there from Ben Johnson. 276 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:44,520 Running the ball, Bryan Robinson led the commanders who ran for 182. 277 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,440 Bryan Robinson led the commanders with 77 yards on 15 carries and two touchdowns. 278 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,760 Jaden Daniels, person of the 51 on the ground on 16 carries. 279 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:56,480 Eckler had 47 yards on six carries. 280 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:02,400 And then for the Lions, Sonic, aka Jameer Gibbs, 281 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,680 goes for 105 yards with two touchdowns on 14 carries. 282 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:12,520 Jamison Williams on a beautiful end around, 61 yards on one carry for 283 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:17,880 a touchdown and then Knuckles, David Montgomery, 28 yards on seven carries. 284 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:24,360 And the Lions actually ran for 201 yards and three touchdowns on about half 285 00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:27,000 the carries that the commanders ran for 182 on. 286 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,760 D'Ami Brown and Terry McLuhan led the commanders in receiving. 287 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,760 D'Ami Brown with 98 yards, Terry McLuhan with 87 yards on the touchdown. 288 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:43,320 Amon Raw led the Lions in receiving, a buck 37 on eight catches. 289 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:48,680 And then Sonic, again, Jameer Gibbs, 70 yards on six catches with La Porta, 290 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,360 another six catches and 51 yards. 291 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,240 Going to the team stats real quick. 292 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,320 The Lions had more first downs, 30 to 27. 293 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,560 The commanders ran more plays on them by five. 294 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:07,120 The Lions outgained them by 40, 521 to 481. 295 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:09,280 Lions had more yards to play by about a yard. 296 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,320 The big numbers, two big numbers, jumps out in this stat. 297 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:20,560 Red zone, just like I said last time, 298 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,360 the better red zone team won the Texans and Sheeves game. 299 00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:25,640 The better red zone team won the commanders and Lions game. 300 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,280 The commanders were four for four in the red zone. 301 00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,080 The Lions was three for six. 302 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,120 And in time of possession, the Lions had the ball about eight more minutes. 303 00:19:35,120 --> 00:19:37,640 I mean, the commanders had the ball about eight more minutes than the Lions. 304 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:46,000 So, we spoke about this moment last week. 305 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,120 And I said, man, Jane Daniels arrived as a superstar. 306 00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:52,120 I even tweeted out on Instagram and everything, I posted about it. 307 00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:53,880 Jane Daniels arrived as a superstar. 308 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,400 There was this superstar moment against the Bucks. 309 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,560 Those who watched the commanders knew what Jane Daniels was doing. 310 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,640 If you're really into the rookie evaluations and stuff like that, 311 00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:02,960 you knew what Jane Daniels was doing. 312 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,600 But for the most part, the national market, 313 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,920 no one cared in Detroit what Jane Daniels was doing. 314 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,640 He wasn't on the schedule, and he wasn't in the division, and 315 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,560 he couldn't get the one seed, he was irrelevant. 316 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,800 If you were in the bottom of the thing, you didn't care what Jane Daniels was doing. 317 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:20,000 I started giving you hope for your own rookie quarterback. 318 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,440 You didn't care what Jane Daniels was doing. 319 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:29,320 But national stage, the last Sunday night, I mean, not the last Sunday night, 320 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,000 but no, it was the last Monday night. 321 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,600 Prime time game, no it wasn't, Vikings was. 322 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,720 Prime time game, Sunday night football, NBC slash Peacock, 323 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,280 the whole world's watching, you're the underdog, and 324 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,560 you do that moment with that drive to win that game. 325 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,080 And it was like, okay, this is your superstar moment. 326 00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:56,440 Couple days ago, Saturday night, was Jane Daniels top five moment. 327 00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:01,920 That was his moment, and I'm relating this to the Heisen moment. 328 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,360 Again, for Daniels, it was the 86 yard run against Florida, 329 00:21:05,360 --> 00:21:07,480 where he scampers through in Death Valley untouched. 330 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:11,360 Maybe he was in the swamp, might have been in the swamp, but 331 00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:14,000 wherever he was, he goes through 86 yards untouched. 332 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,360 The superstar moment to me, and I say there's seven to eight in the league at any time. 333 00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:25,400 Now, to me, he's top five, and his nickname is JD5, or 334 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,600 it's that kid, Jaden, you gotta start saying JD top five. 335 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,400 I mean, that kid is insane, he's the best quarterback in the NFC. 336 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:40,320 He is the fifth best quarterback in the league, my big fours all play in the AFC. 337 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,680 It's Mahomes, it's Allen, in no particular order, 338 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,200 it's Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, and Lamar, again, no order. 339 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,200 And I always say, man, the top five quarterbacks, I always say CJ Stroud. 340 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,560 The top five quarterbacks might play in the AFC. 341 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,160 No, the fifth best quarterback plays in Washington, he's in the NFC. 342 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,280 He's the best quarterback in the NFC, is Jaden Daniels. 343 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,520 Now, do I think he's absolutely being helped right now with Cliff Kingsbury? 344 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:06,120 Of course. 345 00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:13,520 And remember, Washington fans have to be kinda getting deja vu a little bit, 346 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,320 because RG3, by the time that rookie year was over, 347 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,200 people were saying he was a top five quarterback in the league. 348 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,920 Which he was, and then injuries and fallout and so on and so forth occur. 349 00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:26,400 And he was never the same after blowing out his knee. 350 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:33,360 Hello, not a blowing out his knee, but this has to be getting a little bit of 351 00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:38,160 deja vu, and not in the sense of a bad thing, but in the sense of, man, 352 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,600 almost like we had to wait a decade plus to get our guy back. 353 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:48,720 Very similar situations, I mean, team a little bit underachieve in college for 354 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:52,560 what you end up winning, but you win the Heisman, you're a skinnier quarterback. 355 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,880 People talk about your legs probably with your best asset earlier, 356 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,280 you're great with the deep ball, like it's almost 2DT. 357 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:03,920 The same exact storyline, except Griffin didn't transfer, 358 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:05,360 Jaden had a transfer situation. 359 00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:08,240 But other than that, they're about what and what, so the storyline. 360 00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:13,480 Number two overall pick, behind a guy that was reportedly seen as generational, 361 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,680 Andrew Luck, which he was before the injuries, Caleb Williams for Jaden Daniels. 362 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:23,320 I mean, the history is almost copying itself for 363 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:28,560 Washington with Jaden Daniels, and to me, he's the fifth best quarterback in the league. 364 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,440 Now, do I have the raw numbers supported? 365 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:34,440 No, but I know my eyes are telling me. 366 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,640 My eyes are telling me four quarterbacks are left in the NFL, and 367 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:37,360 he's one of the four. 368 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,840 My eyes are telling me that the others are one of the top five Patrick Mahomes, 369 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:48,600 one of the top five in Josh Allen, and then Jalen Hurts, 370 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,240 who's hanging around at eight, nine-ish mark just outside of the Superstar Club. 371 00:23:52,240 --> 00:24:01,560 Josh Allen beat one of the other top five in Lamar Jackson, 372 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:07,520 and Joe Burrow couldn't drag his disaster of a franchise into the playoffs. 373 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,600 Otherwise, who knows what he would have done as a seven seed. 374 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:15,080 But Jaden Daniels is a top five quarterback in the league. 375 00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,280 He's so poised, man. 376 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:23,440 He is so poised, and it's like he makes the right decision every single time. 377 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:27,240 It's square for a vet to make the right decision every single time. 378 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,640 It's like it's always in that moment. 379 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,160 How to talk about the Chiefs, how that throw is always made, 380 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,040 how that call is always called, how that play is always happening. 381 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,480 If you're like Daniels, fourth and two always gets three. 382 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,520 Third and eight, deep over route, it's always right in the bucket. 383 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,160 He's gotta dance around this sack and get through the line on third and nine, 384 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:46,880 he gets 12. 385 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,200 And it's like it happens, it feels like it happens every single time. 386 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,840 Especially in these two playoff games, he put together two, 387 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,960 he put together the game winning job against Tampa and the put away job against Detroit. 388 00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:02,800 And it was like every single play was the right decision every time. 389 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:08,840 And that is, it's insane, especially out of a rookie to get that from him. 390 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,560 But he gets it again every single time. 391 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,840 Moving on to Detroit, man, heartbreaker of a year and 392 00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,760 Dan Campbell's raw emotions at the podium, I felt that. 393 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:24,280 I felt his raw emotions, I felt his compassion, I felt him in that moment. 394 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,760 And it's just like, man, you talk about the players work so hard and they did. 395 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,120 They battled and they played it almost perfectly throughout the season. 396 00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:33,920 I mean, they were 15 and 2. 397 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:38,600 They get the 1C, they smashed Minnesota in week 18. 398 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:40,760 I mean, they get the bye week. 399 00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,040 And I was saying it was gonna be a traditional bye week because they didn't 400 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:48,160 have, the Chiefs had the double bye with sitting week 18. 401 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,920 You don't get the wild card game, anything you play division around. 402 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,560 The Lions played week 18 and then had the traditional bye week and 403 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:55,360 then played again. 404 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,400 But the angels were just too much to overcome. 405 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:05,160 They had 16 players, I think, on injury reserve. 406 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:06,160 It was just too much. 407 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,360 You don't ever replace Aiden Hutchison, but you're filling his gap and 408 00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:12,840 your linebacker core was smashed to bits. 409 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:13,880 Your corners were out. 410 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,040 I mean, it was too much at a certain point. 411 00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:18,040 They were too injured. 412 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,320 And they couldn't overcome it against a really, really talented quarterback and 413 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,680 talented offense. 414 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,560 And it seemed like every weak spot they had, Cliff Kingsbury found it. 415 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,560 I mean, plain and simple. 416 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,680 It was like every singular weak spot they had, 417 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,360 Cliff Kingsbury got his hands on it and he found it. 418 00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:40,280 And so that's hard to overcome. 419 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:43,240 But the Lions fought, man. 420 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:48,240 And now the big question in Detroit is, what's gonna happen now? 421 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,160 Both coordinators are expected to get head coaching jobs. 422 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,720 Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn are expected to be gone. 423 00:26:54,720 --> 00:27:02,320 So since Dan Campbell's got there, he's had ultimate stability. 424 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,960 He's had both his coordinators, he's had his quarterback. 425 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:13,160 He's had as much stability as you can have at the coaching at the NFL level, 426 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,800 as far as the upper echelon. 427 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:19,040 Same GM, same coordinators, same quarterback. 428 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:20,920 Mostly the same stars. 429 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,680 It's been just a stable operation. 430 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:28,160 So now he's looking at staring at possibly replacing his OC and his DC. 431 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,240 Knowing Dan Campbell, he'll promote from within and kind of just do a pull up. 432 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,840 Everybody gets pulled up and he ends up probably the assistant lineback coach, 433 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,280 may end up being the lineback coach. 434 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:38,880 The lineback coach becomes the DC. 435 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,080 They just pull everybody up. 436 00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,640 And then the OC, the QB coach becomes the OC and 437 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,360 then the assistant QB coach becomes the QB coach. 438 00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:49,000 And everybody just pulls up. 439 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,000 Knowing Dan Campbell, he's really big on keeping things internal and 440 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:53,960 keeping things in the family. 441 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,400 So that's what I expect in Detroit. 442 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,480 But then Jared Goff, Jared Goof, Goff's gaffes. 443 00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,280 I mean, whatever you wanna say. 444 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,280 It reared its ugly head again. 445 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:09,480 And somewhere in some room, and maybe not today, but 446 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:13,840 somewhere in some room, Shawn McVay at some point is gonna go, that's why. 447 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:20,320 And Detroit fans, I'm sure, are going, that's why the LA traded for Matt Stafford. 448 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:25,200 Games like this, it always seems to happen to Jared Goff every single time. 449 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,440 Goff's gonna gaff, Goff's gonna be a goof. 450 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,720 It's gonna happen every time. 451 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,160 And it's just like, yeah, that's why McVay got rid of you. 452 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:41,760 But jumping into Sunday, jumping into Sunday, 453 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,960 the Rams versus the Philadelphia Sequans. 454 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,560 I mean, the Philadelphia Eagles. 455 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:55,000 Absolutely spectacular day for Sequon Barkley and the Philadelphia Eagles. 456 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,760 The snow game, which actually what was weird about this game was, 457 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,120 this wasn't supposed to be the snow game. 458 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,880 The snow game was supposed to be the Bills and the Ravens, 459 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:07,600 who we'll talk about, of course, lastly, just convenient order. 460 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,040 But it was supposed to be the Bills and the Ravens. 461 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,960 This game ended up being the snow game. 462 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:16,960 And so that limited, the Eagles passing game, even more than what it already is, 463 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,520 and it caused a lot of turnovers late. 464 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,200 But let's get into the numbers. 465 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,280 Matt Stafford, 26 to 44, 324, two touchdowns, no picks. 466 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,600 He was sacked five times. 467 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:31,160 Jalen Hurts was 15 to 20, 128, no touchdowns, no picks. 468 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,400 He was sacked seven times. 469 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:39,120 Kieron Williams, buck 06, no touchdowns and a very costly fumble. 470 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,040 Sequon Barkley, 205, two touchdowns. 471 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,480 Jalen Hurts, 70 with one touchdown. 472 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,360 They ran for 285 in this game. 473 00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:54,120 Apuka Nakua led the Rams in receiving with 97 yards, no touchdowns. 474 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:59,800 Dallas Goddard led a very limited pass attack for Philly with 56 yards. 475 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:04,640 And no touchdowns. 476 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,600 Fumbling was a big issue in this game. 477 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,760 Rams fumbled three times, lost two of them. 478 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,360 Which Kieron Williams picked up one of the Matt Stafford ones. 479 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:20,680 And the Eagles lost, the Eagles fumbled two times. 480 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:26,840 The Eagles fumbled two times, didn't lose either of them. 481 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:28,280 So huge news there. 482 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,000 They didn't lose either of their fumbles. 483 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,760 Let's go to the teams that, Rams had two more first downs. 484 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,480 Rams hadn't ran nine more plays. 485 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:37,960 Rams had 52 more yards. 486 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:44,280 If you're asked to play, we're dead even at 5.7. 487 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,920 But of course, there's always a number that jumps out. 488 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,280 And the number in this game, in a snow game, was the rushing yards. 489 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,680 111 to 285. 490 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,720 And that was the difference in the game. 491 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,320 Rams didn't have Saquon Barkley. 492 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:00,200 I mean, it was just playing in simple. 493 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:05,960 It was one of those games where if the MVP could be counted for the playoff runs as well, 494 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:09,840 like how the conference championship games are in the Heisman voting, quote unquote, 495 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:16,440 like the votes don't come out in time, Saquon Barkley would have ran his way into the MVP. 496 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:21,440 He rushes for a team record, 205 rushing yards. 497 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:28,920 And the team playoff record, 25 rushing yards, including the 78 yard dagger in which he runs 498 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,840 and just slaps his helmet halfway through and he's gone. 499 00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:35,560 And I mean, absolutely, that's why you paid him. 500 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:43,680 Because on 30 touches, 26-7 being a rushes, he had 232 total yards and two touchdowns. 501 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,880 I mean, absolutely spectacular day from Saquon Barkley. 502 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:53,840 In a game where the Eagles already limited in passing, couldn't pass to even more. 503 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,360 And so it was just a game, it was Saquon Barkley's night. 504 00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:01,120 You know, a shout out to my staffer for continuing the battle, continuing to throw the ball and 505 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:04,640 continuing to find a way to throw the ball because most teams would have packed it up, 506 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:05,640 but they couldn't run it. 507 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,800 I mean, they ran it decently well, but hell, for the most part, Conor Lacey had 30 yards 508 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:10,800 of one rush. 509 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:16,000 For the rest of the game, he's 18 carries with 76 yards. 510 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,640 That ain't doing much. 511 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:23,360 And so, in Saquon, for the most part, was bottled, except he had a 78 yard and a 62 512 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:24,360 yard touchdown. 513 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,840 But for the most part, he was bottled up, but this that explosiveness, man. 514 00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:28,840 He gets through it. 515 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,960 And on the 78 yard run, there's a video of him looking at Jalen Hurts and going, I got 516 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:32,960 it. 517 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,600 He looked down at him and smiled and said, okay, let's do it. 518 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:41,760 And he slips through the gap, sets the block up perfectly and smacks his head on the goalpost 519 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,440 for a Saquon signature run with the snow on his face. 520 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,200 I mean, it was picturesque. 521 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:47,960 It was movie-esque. 522 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,240 And then, of course, the Rams came right down the field and scored. 523 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:57,320 So everybody got a little nervous, but ultimately, the Rams just didn't have enough time. 524 00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,280 And it was just a great moment for the city of Philly. 525 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:07,120 I hope Saquon can renegotiate his contract because three years for 37, I think up to 526 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:08,600 42 and a half, that ain't enough. 527 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,800 I mean, he needs to go in and hold out. 528 00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,240 I ain't coming back unless I get my money. 529 00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,960 Like if I'm him, I want $18 to $20 million a year. 530 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:21,400 I'm the best player on this team, especially when the Super Bowl off him or even the conference 531 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,120 off him. 532 00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,600 I need $18 to $20 million a year or you have to trade me. 533 00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:30,000 Like, I mean, if I'm him, that's what I'm going in demanding. 534 00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:35,080 I need my money in the off season. 535 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,360 But sliding into LA, we can talk about what's going on with them. 536 00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,600 I mean, I was not going to talk about this game, but Saquon Barkley night, to be honest 537 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:44,600 with you. 538 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:49,480 When we were in LA, Matt Stafford, he did something you never want to hear a player 539 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,680 do, which was I'll take time to decide my future. 540 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,480 It usually never goes well. 541 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,400 Either they retire or they come back and it's not the same. 542 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,840 They have an off year, then they walk. 543 00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:07,640 But Stafford did say he would take time to decide his future, which is my... 544 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,000 Can Matt Stafford do something to guarantee his number of Hall of Fame? 545 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,480 Yes, he can come back and win a Super Bowl. 546 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:12,480 Right? 547 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:13,480 And then he's guaranteed in the Hall of Fame. 548 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,160 He'd have all the counting numbers in two rings. 549 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,720 Like, he'd be guaranteed the Hall of Fame. 550 00:34:18,720 --> 00:34:21,480 I think he won Super Bowl in repeat, although that doesn't matter a whole heck of a lot 551 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,240 in the Hall of Fame discussion. 552 00:34:23,240 --> 00:34:24,760 Right now, would I put him in the Hall of Fame? 553 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:26,960 I would say so. 554 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:27,960 I would put him in. 555 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:33,920 But it would be close. 556 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,520 He doesn't have the all pros. 557 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,520 He's got the Pro Bowl, he doesn't have the all pros like that. 558 00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,280 At no point would he regard it as the best quarterback. 559 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:44,720 To be honest, at no point would he regard it as a top five quarterback, maybe besides 560 00:34:44,720 --> 00:34:46,200 that first year in LA. 561 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,480 He had a lot of losing early in Detroit. 562 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:55,560 So, I mean, he'd be teetering in the Hall of Fame. 563 00:34:55,560 --> 00:35:03,520 But he's heading on to decide his future, which is kind of going to hold the Rams up 564 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:04,920 as an Orc. 565 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:11,560 And the reason why is now they have the task of going back to LA. 566 00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:17,120 And of course, I'm sure the entire Rams org is now focusing on helping LA and Los Angeles 567 00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:20,160 area with the fires and the Palisades fires and everything. 568 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:24,280 Again, that heartbreaking tragedy. 569 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,280 But now what do you do? 570 00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:31,760 If you're the Rams, do you say, how do we feel about Jackson Dart? 571 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:36,120 How do we feel about Jaylen Milrow? 572 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:42,560 How do we feel about, I mean, not sure doing Ken Ward, obviously, but how do we feel about 573 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:48,160 some of the other quarterbacks coming out in the draft? 574 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:51,640 Do we say, all right, let's get the heir apparent to Stafford on the roster? 575 00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:53,300 It's not Stetson Bennett. 576 00:35:53,300 --> 00:35:56,580 So let's get the heir apparent to Stafford on the roster. 577 00:35:56,580 --> 00:35:59,140 How do we feel about, let's say Stafford walks. 578 00:35:59,140 --> 00:36:04,360 Do we call Sam Darnall? 579 00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:08,400 Do we make that call for Teddy Bridgewater? 580 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:13,140 Do we just draft, let's say we draft Jackson Dart late first round and just say, hey, we 581 00:36:13,140 --> 00:36:15,760 got you for five years on the team control. 582 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,480 Stafford plays one more and walks. 583 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,600 You show up as a second year player. 584 00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:26,640 Decisions have to be made in LA, but they're all contingent on Matt Stafford's decision. 585 00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:36,160 Oh, but the game I struggled to put last, because I want to talk about it from the door. 586 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,160 The Ravens and the Bills. 587 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,800 The Ravens and the Bills, the Bills and the Ravens, Ravens and the Bills. 588 00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:45,140 The United Cap, the end of the division around, the absolute whale of a ballgame. 589 00:36:45,140 --> 00:36:47,520 To me, the best game of the weekend. 590 00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:51,800 Although Commander Alliance has a case, to me, the best game of the weekend. 591 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:56,600 Before I get into my gloat session, I will run through the numbers like I always do. 592 00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,920 Lamar Jackson, probably his best playoff L playing wise. 593 00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:02,720 We'll get into that later. 594 00:37:02,720 --> 00:37:09,160 Lamar Jackson, 18 to 25, 254, two touchdowns, one pick. 595 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,760 He was somehow sacked twice. 596 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:16,280 Josh Allen, 16 to 22, 127, no touchdowns, no picks. 597 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:22,160 Derrick Henry, 16 carries, 84 yards, one touchdown with a longest rush of 17. 598 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,440 For context, Justice Hill, six carries, 50 yards, longest 22. 599 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:27,480 But we'll get into that later. 600 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:30,160 Lamar Jackson, pitching another 39 on the ground. 601 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:38,080 James Cook led the Bills in the rushing, 67 yards, 117 carries. 602 00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,200 A couple other guys pitched in for the Bills to get to 147. 603 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,000 The Ravens ran for 176. 604 00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:50,200 Isaiah Leichli led the Ravens in receiving, 73 yards on four carries and a touchdown. 605 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,840 Rashad Bateman had 66 yards on the fourth catches and a touchdown. 606 00:37:54,840 --> 00:38:00,000 Mark Andrews had 61 yards on five catches. 607 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:05,160 Khalil Shakir easily led the Bills with 67 yards on six catches. 608 00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:09,640 No one else on the team had more than 15 yards. 609 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,640 The case in this game will be the turnover situation. 610 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,880 Mark Andrews fumbles once. 611 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:16,440 Lamar Jackson fumbles once. 612 00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,760 Tyler Wallace fumbles once. 613 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,440 Nobody on the Bills fumbles at all. 614 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,520 And going to our teams, the Ravens had three more first downs. 615 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:29,360 The Ravens had 140 odd more yards. 616 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:33,120 The Ravens had two and a half more yards per play. 617 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,840 They basically doubled them in pass yards. 618 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,360 29 more rushing yards. 619 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:44,440 But two big numbers will jump out to you, which will be the turnovers, three to zero, 620 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:48,040 three for the Ravens, none for the Bills, and the red zone. 621 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:55,040 Literally, the fourth game in a row where the better red zone team wins the game. 622 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,040 And actually, hold on, let me double check the stats for that. 623 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,080 Let me go to the Eagles and Rams. 624 00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,640 Nope, actually no. 625 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:01,840 So the Rams have a better red zone. 626 00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:09,080 So three out of four games, the better red zone team won the game. 627 00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,280 Three out of four, right? 628 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:15,080 The better red zone team wins the game as the Ravens went two for three, but the Bills 629 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:16,080 were three for four. 630 00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:21,960 And again, the big number in this game was the turnover battle, three to zero, with the 631 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:27,000 Ravens giving up three turnovers. 632 00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:34,600 But it's almost like these as a media person, as a sportscaster, as a guy who does this, 633 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:37,080 that you feel very vindicated. 634 00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,280 I had a take and for the life of me, I could not find it. 635 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:44,480 You guys are probably better at it than me, but I know I've told it to a bunch of people, 636 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,160 you know, people who are hearing this podcast, if you know me, you know I've said this plenty 637 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:49,160 of times. 638 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,240 What did I say? 639 00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:55,400 I said that the Ravens signing Derrick Henry looked great on paper, but ultimately will 640 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:56,400 do nothing. 641 00:39:56,400 --> 00:40:01,280 And in the moment you need it to happen. 642 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:10,360 And said, you will look around and say, dang, we didn't do what we needed to do in a big 643 00:40:10,360 --> 00:40:12,920 moment again. 644 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:17,640 Because before you signed Derrick Henry, you had the best rushing attack in football. 645 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:22,080 You had a passing game that would left something to be desired in big moments. 646 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:26,840 You had a young and experienced offensive line, and you had a defense who could sell 647 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,920 you at any given moment. 648 00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:33,160 After you signed Derrick Henry, and last night, what happened, you had a passing game that 649 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,080 you couldn't count on in big moments. 650 00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:37,440 You had a young and experienced offensive line. 651 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:42,680 You had a tendency to turn the ball over and you had a very large running back that did 652 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,120 not help you when you needed him to. 653 00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:49,680 Because Derrick Henry had 84 yards on 16 carries. 654 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,640 That is, 8 yards per carry of 5.5. 655 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:59,000 Justice Hill had 50 yards on 6 carries, 8 yards per carry of 8.3. 656 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:03,640 Lamar Jackson had 39 yards on 6 carries, 8 yards per carries of 6.5. 657 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:09,460 Derrick Henry had the worst yards per carry on your team. 658 00:41:09,460 --> 00:41:11,460 Because the signing did nothing. 659 00:41:11,460 --> 00:41:14,400 You ultimately did nothing. 660 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:15,640 People blabbed back to me for my take. 661 00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:16,640 I got looked at crazy. 662 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,960 I said, the Ravens are going to be second round and out. 663 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:24,640 Derrick Henry in the big game is not going to even probably be your best rusher. 664 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,720 Because it's not going to do much for you in the long run. 665 00:41:27,720 --> 00:41:30,280 Oh, looky there. 666 00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:34,760 In the big game, he was not your best average rusher. 667 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:37,720 It ultimately did nothing for you. 668 00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:42,400 Once again, your passing game cost you a game. 669 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,120 Because you couldn't get a stop either when you needed it to. 670 00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:49,000 No, you didn't. 671 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,000 You turned 3. 672 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,680 You stopped him from getting 7. 673 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,760 In the big moment, you held him to 3, which opened the door for the Mark Andrews gaffe 674 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,800 at the end. 675 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,080 But ultimately, Derrick Henry didn't do a whole heck of a lot. 676 00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,120 Didn't even get 100 yards. 677 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:11,800 And you're gone in the second round again. 678 00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:14,240 If you're the Raven, you should be used to this. 679 00:42:14,240 --> 00:42:18,000 You're usually always done by the time the president selected. 680 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:22,920 By the time Martin Luther King day rolls around, the Ravens are at home annually. 681 00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,160 And this just be normal for you. 682 00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:29,600 Because maybe you should have spent that 9 to 12 million dollars on Derrick Henry on 683 00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,000 another receiver. 684 00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,480 Let's go at another tight end. 685 00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:37,560 How about a linebacker? 686 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,200 Corner? 687 00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,200 Safety. 688 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,760 Something other than what you were already really, really good at. 689 00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:47,000 You know, you were the best in the league at it. 690 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:52,680 And Derrick Henry didn't make you that much better where the gap became that much bigger. 691 00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,120 You idiots. 692 00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:56,120 Next time, spend money on something that matters. 693 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:57,720 Like, I don't know, the Eagles. 694 00:42:57,720 --> 00:43:02,600 Hey, hey, our running backs are always hurt and can't explode. 695 00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,560 Steakhorn Barkett may always be hurt, but there's one thing he can do. 696 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:06,560 It's explode. 697 00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:09,360 And he's been doing that to everyone all season. 698 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:13,600 Oh, the Grammy Packers had a problem with power running. 699 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,360 So they got their running back in Josh Jacobs. 700 00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,160 Power run. 701 00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:20,160 People usually do free agency. 702 00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:23,720 They usually do that to solve a problem, not get better at what they already were great 703 00:43:23,720 --> 00:43:24,720 at. 704 00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:25,720 That's a draft thing. 705 00:43:25,720 --> 00:43:27,480 You get that next running back to keep going. 706 00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:32,720 You don't pay for what you're already really good at. 707 00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:36,120 But hey, Baltimore, you signed Derrick Henry. 708 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:39,120 Good job, guys. 709 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:40,120 Whatever. 710 00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,840 So, all time take by me. 711 00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:44,080 It didn't look great at certain moments. 712 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,360 I had to ride that take out. 713 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:47,440 But all time take by me. 714 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:51,160 And then I will do a quick hitters on this game. 715 00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:52,760 This game was not Lamar and Jackson. 716 00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,600 Anyone who says otherwise is a goof. 717 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,480 Lamar played really, really well all game from start to finish. 718 00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:02,960 He had the pick that was basically a punt. 719 00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,640 He was anticipating a coverage. 720 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:05,640 He got fooled. 721 00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:07,720 He threw a pick. 722 00:44:07,720 --> 00:44:09,360 But other than that, he had the fumble. 723 00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:10,560 The fumble wasn't great either. 724 00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,960 But other than that, he's played really, really well. 725 00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:13,960 Was it an A-plus game? 726 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:14,960 No. 727 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:15,960 But was it an F-game or D-game? 728 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:16,960 No. 729 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,200 I give it a B-game for him. 730 00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,160 He played really, he played good. 731 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,600 He played good enough to win the game. 732 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,280 But Mark Andrew decided that wasn't going to happen. 733 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,360 He had a fumble and a drive that was going to net you at least three. 734 00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:37,360 And he dropped the two-point conversion on a play that was going to tie the game. 735 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,560 Now, a minute and a half left at home, Josh Allen with the ball. 736 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,560 Bills probably win anyway. 737 00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:46,080 But Lamar played good enough to win. 738 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:47,560 He was let down by his teammates. 739 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,760 And he said it after the game, we got to stop turning the f-ing ball over. 740 00:44:50,760 --> 00:44:51,760 We got to stop like that. 741 00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,160 That's how we lose these games. 742 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:58,320 And Lamar had two to three turnovers, right? 743 00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:01,560 But now you sit in Baltimore, what do you do? 744 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,880 I assume Derrick Henry comes back next year. 745 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:07,440 But his money's not guaranteed. 746 00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:08,880 I'm sure he's going to want guarantees. 747 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:09,880 That could be a situation. 748 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:17,360 You have free agents that are going to come up in key spots, including Ronnie Staley. 749 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:19,880 Todd Munkin is a hot name on the court. 750 00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:23,360 And then the late streamer has to replace another coordinator. 751 00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:24,360 What do you do? 752 00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:29,880 It could be very interesting in Baltimore. 753 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:34,760 But that was the longest A-block I've ever had. 754 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:35,760 Very long-winded A-block. 755 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:51,200 And now we're going to shift into conference championship week. 756 00:45:51,200 --> 00:46:11,000 Welcome back into the show. 757 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,760 And I appreciate you guys for rocking with me on that really, really long A-block. 758 00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:16,560 But I had a lot to get out there. 759 00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:17,560 Division A round was exciting. 760 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,640 And usually we don't get to record the next day. 761 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,080 So I was excited for that. 762 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,800 But we're moving into conference championship week. 763 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:27,480 And we'll pick winners and stuff in Jax Pack. 764 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:28,480 You know how we guys do it. 765 00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,640 We will touch on the games right now. 766 00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:34,680 So first off, the NFC will go first. 767 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,360 The NFC will play at 2 p.m. Central Time. 768 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,440 On Sunday, the game will be on Fox. 769 00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:45,160 It will be the Washington Commanders led by rookie sensation Jay Daniels entering the 770 00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:51,080 link going into Philadelphia to play their division opponent actually. 771 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:57,400 And again, that game will be Sunday, January 26th at 2 p.m. 772 00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:00,920 And this game is an exciting football game. 773 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:01,920 I mean, from top to bottom. 774 00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:03,520 We have two dynamic quarterbacks. 775 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,600 We have two solid coaches, staffs. 776 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,480 I don't really love the Eagles staff. 777 00:47:08,480 --> 00:47:09,840 I love the commander staff. 778 00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,480 I don't love the Eagles staff. 779 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,600 But these teams are one and one over the course of the season. 780 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:20,120 Now the one commander's win was the Jaylin Hurts concussion game and Kenny Pickett gave 781 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:21,840 him fits. 782 00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:25,000 At the same time, Kenny Pickett was a starting quarterback in the league, number one. 783 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,000 Number two. 784 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,800 Number one, right? 785 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:34,720 And number two, you don't prep for the back of quarterback. 786 00:47:34,720 --> 00:47:39,000 So you know, that was probably the game plan gets tossed out of the window because Kenny 787 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,160 Pickett isn't doing none of the stuff Jaylin Hurts would do. 788 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,520 And then the Eagles, when those two teams played early in the year, it was early in 789 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,920 the year the Eagles did come up with the win. 790 00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:49,920 Okay. 791 00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,160 So we're so we're good on that. 792 00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:56,360 Now this is a game that can come down to Jayden Daniels could be the first rookie quarterback 793 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,600 to lead his team to the Super Bowl. 794 00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,560 There's been five other quarterbacks who start in the conference championship game in this 795 00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:03,600 situation. 796 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:05,240 All five have lost. 797 00:48:05,240 --> 00:48:07,800 Most recently, you look at Joe Flacco's of the world. 798 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:09,840 You look at Brock Purdy. 799 00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:13,840 That was the elbow game where he hurts his elbow in like the first like drivers. 800 00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:17,760 Oh, and at one point Christian McCaffrey playing quarterback, the actual inspiration for the 801 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,800 rule for the emergency third string quarterback for that game. 802 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:25,400 If you start to play get hurt, you can have one player who was inactive. 803 00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:30,440 But as your emergency quarterback can come in the game play quarterback for that reason 804 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,360 because the Eagles hurt Purdy's elbow. 805 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:37,180 And then it hurts somebody the other quarterback gets hurt. 806 00:48:37,180 --> 00:48:41,120 And then at one point CMC comes in to play quarterback and Purdy's back in the game but 807 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:42,120 couldn't throw it. 808 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:43,160 It was a mess, right? 809 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,440 But it was the inspiration for the emergency third string quarterback. 810 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:51,540 Anyway, so now Jayden Daniels in this position, right? 811 00:48:51,540 --> 00:48:54,760 He has passed every test he's given. 812 00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:56,560 A couple of pop quizzes too. 813 00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:57,560 He's passed, he's rolling. 814 00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:58,560 Right? 815 00:48:58,560 --> 00:48:59,560 And he's aced them all. 816 00:48:59,560 --> 00:49:03,240 And now he goes up against the Eagles, probably the best front seven he has seen and will 817 00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:05,120 see this season. 818 00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:08,320 This front seven is mean, nasty and they're coming after him. 819 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,320 Now the benefit and they've got a lot of sacks recently. 820 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:17,480 The benefit is I think the better D line would have been the Rams because the Rams get their 821 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:18,480 pressure with four. 822 00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:23,040 The Eagles usually have to bring a fifth or sixth guy in order to get their pressure. 823 00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:27,040 So that could open up some passing lanes and some running lanes if he slips through it. 824 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:32,280 That can open up some running lanes for him to get into the cold wintery air in the link 825 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,640 and the cause heartbreak and filling. 826 00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:40,200 However on the Eagle side, Saquon Barkley has to be licking his chops. 827 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,800 Oh my God, that defense is bad. 828 00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:46,520 Like he has to be looking and going, that defense is awful. 829 00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:49,000 Which it is. 830 00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:54,020 They have no chance on this God's green earth of stopping me. 831 00:49:54,020 --> 00:49:57,520 Like in my mind, that's where I'm going. 832 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:01,840 I'm looking straight at that defense and going, Oh my God, give me the ball and keep 833 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:02,920 giving it to me. 834 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:03,920 Don't pass it tonight. 835 00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:04,920 Like I got it. 836 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,320 He should be looking in the hole and going, I got it every single time. 837 00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:09,960 That defense in Washington is awful. 838 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:14,800 Jameer gives ripped through it like a hot knife through butter. 839 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,000 Like that defense is a disaster. 840 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,200 Now they're opportunistic. 841 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:21,840 If you mess up, they will take it from you. 842 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:22,880 I will give them that credit. 843 00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:24,780 I will give them that credit. 844 00:50:24,780 --> 00:50:27,840 If you get it wrong, they will take it from you. 845 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:32,040 In terms of you guess wrong on the read, air and throw, they're catching the pick. 846 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:38,920 But as far as if you don't give them the ball, they are going to get gashed repeatedly. 847 00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:43,320 That's not even from a scheme, but they're just not good enough. 848 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,480 I think Washington's entire off season should be focused on retooling the defense. 849 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:51,080 That's the number two receiver and retooling the defense because it's bad. 850 00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:54,680 Like the old line is pretty solid, but that old line is decent. 851 00:50:54,680 --> 00:50:59,000 With that, Ronnie Staley should be looking at Washington to go for them, probably left 852 00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,120 tackle for them, and then they need to retool that defense. 853 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:03,120 It's awful. 854 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,360 If I'm saying Kwon Barkman, I'm licking my chops. 855 00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:11,080 If I'm Philly, I know my passing game isn't great. 856 00:51:11,080 --> 00:51:15,200 I know that for a fact. 857 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,160 The weather is not known as of now. 858 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,120 The country's kind of all over the place. 859 00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:31,200 For instance, I'm in Louisiana and we're expected to get effectively a winter storm. 860 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,000 It's insane. 861 00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:40,680 Right now, it's supposed to be real field of 29 and sunny when that game kicks off. 862 00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:46,040 Cold, but not a wintery blast situation is going to happen there. 863 00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:48,040 Great news for the Washington pass game. 864 00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:49,040 They could play in the cold. 865 00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,040 They just showed that. 866 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:53,600 They can pass through the cold and they play in Washington. 867 00:51:53,600 --> 00:52:00,680 Their issue is going to be having to battle with that front seven and then slowing down 868 00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:02,720 Saquon is going to be a major problem for them. 869 00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:10,440 I think the one interesting battle is going to be Nick Sirianni versus Dan Quinn situationally. 870 00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:11,600 I think Dan Quinn is a better coach. 871 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,400 Like I said, I love the Washington coaching staff. 872 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,080 They have the best two head coaches on the field. 873 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,320 They have Cliff Kingsbury and they have Dan Quinn. 874 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:23,760 I think the worst two head coaches is Nick Sirianni and Kellan Moore. 875 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:28,760 I think situationally, the Washington commanders are going to win this game situationally. 876 00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:33,200 No matter how many situations occur, who knows? 877 00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:39,280 I think from a coaching perspective and a strategic perspective, the best situational 878 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:43,680 organization in this game will be the Washington commanders. 879 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:47,240 Nick Sirianni is a goof. 880 00:52:47,240 --> 00:52:49,600 He's a mistake waiting to happen. 881 00:52:49,600 --> 00:52:52,440 Kellan Moore, I think has split brain right now. 882 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:53,440 He's interviewing with Dallas. 883 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:58,960 He could be the head man in Dallas soon. 884 00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,920 I just didn't like how he called that game. 885 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:05,160 You're in a snowball and you're pulling the ball out of 26 hands. 886 00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:06,520 I just didn't like how he called that game. 887 00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:14,280 I think OCs can get ego-y and he's like, no, I'm going to prove I can do this in any situation. 888 00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:23,320 At a certain point, you got to be used common sense. 889 00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,320 You got to use your brain here. 890 00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,440 I just don't think Kellan Moore does that sometimes. 891 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,800 It's going to be a very interesting battle there. 892 00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,000 We'll pick our winners in our next segment. 893 00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:38,760 In the AFC Championship game, the Arrowhead Invitational at this point, for the sixth 894 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:44,480 time in seven years, the AFC Championship game is being played in Arrowhead Stadium 895 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:45,480 in Kansas City. 896 00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:49,520 This time, the Buffalo Bills enter and they come to battle. 897 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,880 It's going to be a ball game. 898 00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:57,040 Ironically, from a betting perspective, both games are 47 and a half over unders. 899 00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:58,040 That's intriguing. 900 00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,840 It was weird, but we'll get into the betting a little more. 901 00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:06,360 Both games over unders are set at 47 and a half. 902 00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,920 The Bills won in their regular season. 903 00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:15,600 The Kansas City Chiefs, with their starters, have only lost one game. 904 00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:21,080 That's two, the Buffalo Bills, a couple of months ago. 905 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:22,080 Are they different teams? 906 00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:23,080 Sure. 907 00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:28,960 A couple of months ago, the Bills in Buffalo beat them 31 to 20. 908 00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:33,320 The only team the Chiefs have lost to with their starters in the last 400-ish days is 909 00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:36,320 the Bills. 910 00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:39,080 Right now, the Bills are coming in, riding high. 911 00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:40,080 They got over a hump. 912 00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:41,600 They're going into KC. 913 00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:42,600 They're confident. 914 00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:45,320 However, you're dealing with the playoff Chiefs. 915 00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:51,280 You're dealing with the playoff Chiefs and just how they always seem to get it. 916 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:52,640 They always seem to figure it out. 917 00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:53,800 How they always get the call. 918 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,640 How they always get the play. 919 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,520 Travis Kelce wakes up. 920 00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,840 They were saving Kelce all season for this moment. 921 00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:03,560 Chris Jones knows, I got to make three plays. 922 00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:04,920 I'm on the field for 30 snaps. 923 00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:10,760 If I get three tackle for losses and one sack in those 30 snaps, I've earned my money. 924 00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:14,760 You have these guys who are just playoff savants. 925 00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:19,240 If you ever watch Chris Jones, young pass rushers and young players go hard every single 926 00:55:19,240 --> 00:55:20,240 play. 927 00:55:20,240 --> 00:55:23,080 Once Chris Jones realizes he's double-teamed, he stands straight up. 928 00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:24,080 He's looking at the backfield. 929 00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,600 He's looking to see if we're trying to scramble. 930 00:55:26,600 --> 00:55:27,840 He's looking to see if we're trying to throw. 931 00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:30,400 He could bat the ball down. 932 00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,920 He's not about trying to bully through two people on a pass. 933 00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:33,920 For what? 934 00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,640 He's not going to make it. 935 00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:43,000 You have stuff like that where it's just like, man, these guys are so freaking smart. 936 00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:47,880 Looks like they're always correct in what they do. 937 00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:51,600 Looking at Kansas City and their weather. 938 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:52,600 Jesus Christ. 939 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:57,760 It's 21 degrees right now in Kansas City. 940 00:55:57,760 --> 00:56:02,960 Their weather is 38 degrees with a real feel of 33 with sunny. 941 00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:07,840 You look at high 38 degrees, probably time to get the game time, probably slightly below 942 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,560 freezing and sunny. 943 00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,440 Going back to Philly and their weather, I realize I looked at the wrong thing. 944 00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:18,600 We're going back to Philly and their weather. 945 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:23,840 They are sitting at, again, very similar weather. 946 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:26,800 Right around freezing, real feel of 32-ish. 947 00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:31,360 Cloudy, however, in Philly. 948 00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:38,760 The storm is moving in, but won't get there in time for the game. 949 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:40,000 Back to KC and Buffalo. 950 00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:41,880 This is going to be a heck of a ballgame. 951 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:43,800 Both games I expect to be really, really good. 952 00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,040 I expect Commanders and Eagles to be very high scoring. 953 00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,560 If I was betting over-unders, I would bet the over Commanders and Eagles. 954 00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:51,880 I don't know if they're going to be high scoring in Philly. 955 00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:55,640 In KC, they scored 51 last time. 956 00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:58,920 I would lean towards that this time. 957 00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:04,600 You get more of the playoff Chiefs as far as they just are great situationally. 958 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:05,600 Two points on the Bills, man. 959 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,240 Then we're going to move into our Jax pack. 960 00:57:07,240 --> 00:57:08,240 Two points on the Bills. 961 00:57:08,240 --> 00:57:10,840 Number one, they just feel like a team of destiny. 962 00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:13,080 They feel like they're just finding ways. 963 00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:17,520 The Chiefs always, the team, the joke on the internet is the Chiefs are a team of black 964 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:18,520 magic. 965 00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:22,600 I'm not going to get into that, but it feels like the Chiefs always get that moment. 966 00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:23,600 They always get that call. 967 00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,000 They always get that whatever. 968 00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:30,320 The Bills are just getting, not lucky, but they're just getting moments that happen for 969 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:31,320 them. 970 00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:35,440 The Mark Andrew stuff, he has a safety to beat to the end zone. 971 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:40,280 He scores, and who knows where that game goes, and he gets popped out. 972 00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:44,440 Then the drop on the 200 conversion, he basically triple catches it, and somehow still doesn't 973 00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:48,000 catch it. 974 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:52,560 The Bills are just finding ways to win, man. 975 00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:57,040 When you get to that point, when you get to a situation where you feel like you are just 976 00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:01,240 inventing ways to win, not inventing, but you're finding ways to win, you almost feel 977 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:04,240 like it has to be our year. 978 00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,800 Honestly, my second point on them is if not now, when? 979 00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,480 You had a playoffs where Joe Burrow wasn't in it. 980 00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:16,120 You had a playoffs where you're existing in a league where the Patriots are maybe starting 981 00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,440 to figure this thing back out, with Rables back in there. 982 00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:20,480 They have the quarterback. 983 00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,760 The Dolphins were a disappointment. 984 00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:23,920 The Jets were the Jets, whatever. 985 00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,400 But the Patriots are starting to figure their life out with $130 million in cash space, 986 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:31,880 and they have Drake May, and they have Mike Vrabel, and they have belief in the building 987 00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:33,000 again. 988 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,120 How long will your grip on the division even be? 989 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,120 Again, Burrow was not in it. 990 00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:39,480 You beat Lamar. 991 00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:41,480 Herbert was beaten by the Texans. 992 00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:43,620 The Texans were then beaten by the Chiefs. 993 00:58:43,620 --> 00:58:49,240 A lot of the top guys in your conference, you only had to play one so far, and that 994 00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,160 was Lamar. 995 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:52,440 You didn't have to play Herbert. 996 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:53,860 You didn't have to face Burrow. 997 00:58:53,860 --> 00:58:56,000 You didn't have to face Stroud. 998 00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,160 You didn't have to face Herbert. 999 00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:07,200 You're starting to get to a point where if you're Buffalo, if not now, if you don't 1000 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:13,160 win the conference and get to the Super Bowl in New Orleans now, when are you ever going 1001 00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:14,160 to do it? 1002 00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,480 Burrow is going to be in the playoffs next year. 1003 00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:20,980 So will Herbert, so will Stroud, so will Lamar, so will Mahomes, so will yourself. 1004 00:59:20,980 --> 00:59:26,000 To me, there's one seed available in the AFC next year. 1005 00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:34,320 If you don't get in this year, and you don't get the Super Bowl this year, to me, someone 1006 00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:41,280 to the Lions, if you don't get it now, when are you going to? 1007 00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:45,000 So I'm sure that's what's in the thought of a lot of Buffalo Bills. 1008 00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,360 If you don't get it this year, when are you ever going to get it? 1009 00:59:48,360 --> 01:00:16,080 Next up, we're going to shift our NFL betting segment, Jax Pack. 1010 01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:21,400 Welcome back into the show. 1011 01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,960 Now we're going to get into our NFL betting segment, Jax Pack. 1012 01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:26,440 Last week, we went 3-1. 1013 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:30,800 I know a lot of people were heartbroken because at the time of the game, the Chiefs were minus 1014 01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,200 nine and a half. 1015 01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,000 We got the number at minus eight. 1016 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:35,680 We hit it at minus eight. 1017 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:40,000 We missed on Eagles minus six and a half versus the Rams by a literal point. 1018 01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:41,000 Hurts. 1019 01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:42,320 We almost went undefeated. 1020 01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:46,240 We went 3-1, brings our playoff total to six and four, which is 60%. 1021 01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:47,560 Fifty-six percent is our goal. 1022 01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:51,240 So right now, we're on our goal perfectly. 1023 01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:53,240 But let's get into these numbers really quickly. 1024 01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:54,960 Commanders plus five and a half at the Eagles. 1025 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:56,240 Take the Commanders. 1026 01:00:56,240 --> 01:01:00,240 I have been driving the Jaden Daniels bandwagon all season. 1027 01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:02,480 I'm not getting off of it now. 1028 01:01:02,480 --> 01:01:06,880 I think the Commanders actually win this game and get into the Super Bowl. 1029 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:08,560 I truly think they're going to win. 1030 01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:11,360 They're going to get into the Super Bowl, and we're going to have our first rookie in 1031 01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:12,360 the Super Bowl ever. 1032 01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:18,960 Dan Quinn is going to get back to the Super Bowl, first time since blowing 28-3. 1033 01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:22,720 Cliff Kingsbury won't be at his new team. 1034 01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:29,480 I don't think Kingsbury gets a job this cycle, which would be enormous for the Commanders. 1035 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:33,840 But I don't think from kind of what I'm reading in the tea leaves and who's getting second 1036 01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:38,080 interviews and who's getting whatever, I don't think Cliff Kingsbury gets a job this 1037 01:01:38,080 --> 01:01:42,880 cycle, which again would be massive for the Commanders. 1038 01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:44,000 My opinion, he comes back. 1039 01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:49,440 I don't see a coach being able to pry him away from Washington. 1040 01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,840 A friend of mine, we were talking, and he was like, man, if Ben Johnson gets a job, 1041 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:54,520 the first call he's making is to Cliff Kingsbury. 1042 01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:58,440 And he's like, whatever you want to come be the OC, come do it. 1043 01:01:58,440 --> 01:01:59,440 I don't see that happening. 1044 01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:03,320 I don't see anyone being able to pull him away from Washington. 1045 01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,480 He's the head coach of his own side of the ball. 1046 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:10,880 So on and so forth, like unless it's for a head job, I don't see him leaving Washington. 1047 01:02:10,880 --> 01:02:16,040 So because of which that would be huge for JD Daniels going into year two to retain Cliff 1048 01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:17,040 Kingsbury. 1049 01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:22,280 I don't see Kingsbury, Kingsbury getting a job this cycle. 1050 01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,560 As of now, things could change, but as of right now, I don't see it. 1051 01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:26,880 But I think the Commanders win this game. 1052 01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:30,120 All right, so definitely take them plus five and a half and we're going to have JD Daniels 1053 01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:32,200 in the Super Bowl. 1054 01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:35,820 And then the second game, Chiefs minus two and a half versus the Bills. 1055 01:02:35,820 --> 01:02:37,640 Take the Chiefs. 1056 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:39,040 Here's my thing about this game. 1057 01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:42,960 If this was a game that was in the regular time, I don't touch this game. 1058 01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:43,960 I don't get anywhere near it. 1059 01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:48,640 If it was a regular situation, I don't get anywhere near it because two and a half is 1060 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:49,920 dangerous. 1061 01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:53,440 This is the walk off field goal and over time, Kansas City wins it. 1062 01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:56,400 I have no confidence in who's going to win the game. 1063 01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:58,860 I'm leaning towards the Bills. 1064 01:02:58,860 --> 01:03:03,080 So my official pick is going to be the Bills. 1065 01:03:03,080 --> 01:03:11,680 However, could I see this being 27-24 Harrison Bucker for the win as time expires? 1066 01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:12,680 Yeah. 1067 01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:18,120 Like, I just, I don't see. 1068 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:21,940 If this was three and a half, I go the Bills. 1069 01:03:21,940 --> 01:03:24,200 If this was three, I'd probably go the Bills. 1070 01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:28,640 The number being two and a half, it's smarter to be on the side of the two and a half. 1071 01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:30,440 That's why I lean Kansas City. 1072 01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,240 Bus on the bet. 1073 01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:36,080 But my pick to win the game is slightly the Bills. 1074 01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,280 So again, this is a game I'd probably stay away from. 1075 01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:45,240 I don't touch it with a 10-foot pole in the regular season. 1076 01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,120 Only being minus two and a half, and it's crazy. 1077 01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:49,400 I'm putting a number in at two and a half. 1078 01:03:49,400 --> 01:03:52,680 I'm watching the number fall to two. 1079 01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:56,640 I got to lean Casey here. 1080 01:03:56,640 --> 01:04:04,040 But my official game pick is going to be the, nope, I'm going to stick with the cheese. 1081 01:04:04,040 --> 01:04:05,040 Oh, live. 1082 01:04:05,040 --> 01:04:06,040 This is a live. 1083 01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:10,280 This isn't making, I'm actually fighting anything right now because, nope, I'm going to go with 1084 01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:11,280 the Bills. 1085 01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:12,280 I'm flipping my pick. 1086 01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:16,040 Okay, so live on the show, the pick is being flipped. 1087 01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:22,680 The pick is being flipped live on the show to plus two and a half for the Bills, and 1088 01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:26,040 the Bills are going to win this game. 1089 01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:30,440 With the same feeling I got when I basically effectively live flipped two of the Chiefs 1090 01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:34,320 over the Texans on their bet, I'm getting that same feeling for the Bills. 1091 01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:38,440 Bills, I'm flipping to the Bills plus two and a half, and the Bills are going to win 1092 01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:39,440 this game. 1093 01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:40,640 So that is my official picks. 1094 01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,000 Washington Commanders plus five and a half at the Eagles. 1095 01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,760 The Commanders are going to win the game all right. 1096 01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:48,200 I've been driving the Jane Daniels bandwagon all year. 1097 01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:49,680 I'm not going to get off now. 1098 01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:55,620 And then Bills plus two and a half to win the game all right against the Chiefs. 1099 01:04:55,620 --> 01:04:58,660 But up next, we're going to have our best for last, which is going to be a discussion 1100 01:04:58,660 --> 01:05:25,600 on the college football national championship game. 1101 01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:34,520 Welcome back into the show and welcome in to the college football national championship 1102 01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:35,520 game. 1103 01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,160 Best for last. 1104 01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:45,200 The game goes down tonight in Atlanta at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. 1105 01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:51,640 So Ohio State enters as an eight and a half point favorite, although it opened at nine 1106 01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:52,640 and a half. 1107 01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:54,720 Currently, it sits at eight and a half. 1108 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,040 So it's been bet down a little bit. 1109 01:05:57,040 --> 01:06:03,920 The over-under sits at 45 and a half, with Notre Dame's money line being plus 300. 1110 01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:09,240 The match is predicted based on ESPN Analytics, as Ohio State has a 55% chance to win the 1111 01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:10,240 game. 1112 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:11,240 The weather doesn't matter. 1113 01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:12,240 It's a frozen one, but it's inside. 1114 01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:17,880 The game will kick off at 630 local time, 730 Eastern time, which is when the game is 1115 01:06:17,880 --> 01:06:23,480 going to be played in the Eastern time zone, and it will be on ESPN. 1116 01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:31,400 This game sits to me as it would take a perfect Notre Dame game to keep it close. 1117 01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:33,240 Not to win it, to keep it close. 1118 01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:36,300 If Ohio State plays good, I'm not even saying great. 1119 01:06:36,300 --> 01:06:40,960 If Ohio State is playing good, Notre Dame can't win this game. 1120 01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:44,760 Texas to me was the, as I would say, healthy, good Georgia probably was the best team in 1121 01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:45,760 the country. 1122 01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:46,760 Ohio State had a case. 1123 01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:50,060 Ohio State being two, Texas being three, Oregon probably being four. 1124 01:06:50,060 --> 01:06:52,120 But that top four could all meander through. 1125 01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:56,640 Then maybe there was a gap before you get to a Notre Dame. 1126 01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,840 The last team out of that group is Ohio State. 1127 01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:01,480 Mainly because they've all had to beat each other. 1128 01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:03,200 Ohio State is beating Oregon. 1129 01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:04,720 Ohio State is beating Texas. 1130 01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:06,720 Notre Dame beat Georgia. 1131 01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:11,240 Cool, but it was Georgia not playing their A game and with the back quarterback. 1132 01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:18,920 Ohio State is going to have the two best receivers that Notre Dame will play all season. 1133 01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:22,760 Notre Dame almost lost to a team who literally could not complete a pass to a receiver in 1134 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:23,760 Penn State. 1135 01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,960 Ohio State has Jeremiah Smith and Emeka Buka. 1136 01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,480 Emeka Buka is probably a first round pick. 1137 01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:30,720 Early second at the latest. 1138 01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:33,640 Jeremiah Smith is a first round pick whenever he enters the NFL draft. 1139 01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:38,680 If he entered the NFL draft as a freshman, he'd be a first round pick. 1140 01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:41,320 These two will easily be the best two receivers. 1141 01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:43,320 Notre Dame will have to contend with all season. 1142 01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:45,560 They ain't got enough. 1143 01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:47,200 Not enough athleticism, not enough talent. 1144 01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:48,360 It is what it is. 1145 01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:49,360 Some games, y'all, I'll match. 1146 01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,560 Ohio State is the best team in the country. 1147 01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:54,440 Good Ohio State was always the top four team to me. 1148 01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:56,800 They're the last one standing of that group. 1149 01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:58,200 They're going to win this game easily. 1150 01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,000 I may even take the eight and a half. 1151 01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:01,800 I'll swallow the eight and a half here. 1152 01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,720 They're going to, to me, run away and hide in this game. 1153 01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:06,520 I think Notre Dame will try and keep it on the ground. 1154 01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,800 Jeremiah Love, make it a close one. 1155 01:08:09,800 --> 01:08:12,280 The better quarterback is at Ohio State and Will Howard. 1156 01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:15,640 The best two receivers exist on Ohio State. 1157 01:08:15,640 --> 01:08:20,480 To me, the best running back, I mean, Jeremiah Love is a better running back, but the best 1158 01:08:20,480 --> 01:08:26,400 rushing attack, you got Henderson and Christian Judkins and the duo for Ohio State. 1159 01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,200 Like, it's just, they're just better. 1160 01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:31,560 In certain situations, they're just better. 1161 01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:34,840 And playing in some pool, they're just better. 1162 01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:37,480 It is what it is. 1163 01:08:37,480 --> 01:08:39,600 And so Ohio State will get the draw. 1164 01:08:39,600 --> 01:08:43,000 And to me, they win the national championship game. 1165 01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:46,120 Ryan Day gets a massive contract extension in the off season. 1166 01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,760 And all the talk of him being fired never exists again. 1167 01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:54,280 And Chip Kelly at that point has to decide if he ever wants to be a head coach again 1168 01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:57,520 or he wants to continue OCing for Ohio State. 1169 01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:59,320 What is his decision going to be? 1170 01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:02,760 And where will he even go at this point? 1171 01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:05,240 But could he be an OC in the NFL? 1172 01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:06,240 Chip Kelly is an OC in the NFL? 1173 01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:07,240 Could be interesting. 1174 01:09:07,240 --> 01:09:14,400 One of these Ben Johnson brings in Chip Kelly as an OC or one of these defensive head guys 1175 01:09:14,400 --> 01:09:16,360 brings in Chip Kelly as an OC. 1176 01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:17,920 What if he ends up in New England as the OC? 1177 01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:21,480 I mean, I don't know if there's been any talks of that, but variable needs an OC. 1178 01:09:21,480 --> 01:09:23,280 What if Chip Kelly ends up the OC in New England? 1179 01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:26,080 That's all you did with Philly. 1180 01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:29,480 But that is all I have for today. 1181 01:09:29,480 --> 01:09:31,640 Very NFL heavy show. 1182 01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:33,080 We did touch a little college football there. 1183 01:09:33,080 --> 01:09:36,640 The YouTube show will be coming out soon as well. 1184 01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:37,640 That should happen. 1185 01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:40,920 Within the next couple of days, you should see the newest episode of JTS After Dark. 1186 01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:44,120 So make sure you look out for that and subscribe to the YouTube channel. 1187 01:09:44,120 --> 01:10:11,160 Oh, but as always, this is your host Justin Jackson signing out.
