00:03:24
Speaker
But before we talk but playoffs, there's something that's really burning all of our asses that and we want to talk about. And it's this God forsaking Kansas city chiefs and officiating crew in the NFL. Bro, it is.
00:03:46
Speaker
It is, I have no other words other than just, it's disgusting. It is blatantly obvious. I stand by what I've said early in the season and I've said it multiple times, the Kansas City Chiefs are a three win team this year. Yep. But they're cheering to the officials and they're what, 15 and one or something like that? Yeah. 14 and two. Yeah, it
Gambling Influence & NFL Rules Challenge Defenders
00:04:12
Speaker
was completely ridiculous, that's for sure.
00:04:15
Speaker
It's disgusting. My thing is, yeah, it's just like, it's so blatant. It's like, you can just go online right now, look up videos and watch replay of videos everywhere. Just so many times. And it's like, what my well I just don't understand. like ah How does Roger Goodell look at look at this and listen to the fans, supposedly listen to the fans and not do something about it?
00:04:43
Speaker
Yeah, I'm like, i it's like, it's basically just, we're gonna put it right in your face and we don't care what, you know, what are you gonna do about it? Well, you just gotta deal with it. Yeah, you just gotta deal with it. And I'm just like, man, I feel robbed. I was telling Glick earlier, I was like, you know, it's like, i want when I was young and, you know, as a kid, I watched wrestling and and I loved it. I loved wrestling. And then I found out that it was scripted And I was like, Oh, I don't watch wrestling and anymore. And I don't care. There's people that still like it. And I respect it because it is a sport, you know what I mean? And it's for entertainment. I get that. But I myself felt bamboozled. So I was like, I don't watch this anymore. You know, because I don't, I want to watch people actually compete and see what happens. And so I thought that's what football was. but face You know,
00:05:35
Speaker
That's what I mean. And it's supposed to be, and now it's not. Now football's become, or the NFL anyway, has become more about the entertainment and not the actual game. And so that yeah disappoints me. it's Yeah. It's more about the quote unquote story. Let me ask you guys something. Obviously the officiating is, has, it has been questionable the last couple of years.
00:05:59
Speaker
I'm still here. I'm just doing a minor repair here in the studio. So I just got my camera on questionable the last couple of years. 1000% blatantly obvious this year. Yeah. So one, up yeah. Um, so let me ask you guys something outside of the fact that, you know, the storyline, they want the chiefs in there. They want the chiefs to possibly do this three feet, blah, blah, blah. Right. Uh, how much do you think?
00:06:25
Speaker
the introduction of Vegas and all the gambling and everything like that that is you know because there's tracking that that's exactly what it is yeah you know what i mean it's more for we're going to make it we're just going to say entertainment for the common viewer and then we're going to make money on the back end off of people who are gambling and you know, people who are looking at it going, okay, man, and and and they have the right idea because they're seeing the game, they're watching the, you know, the different defenses and offenses, and they're able to, you know, ah dissect what is most likely to happen. And so they go and bet money on it. I'm saying like the really intelligent people that gamble. And then they know this, and those people are gambling, and then they're just going on there and going, guess what? That probably is what would happen, but we're just going to have some, you know, bad officiating or I don't know if that's what you want to call it, but the officiating changed the game. Just like we were talking about with like the, that one game in the season where they had the par layer or I don't know if it was a par layer or whatever, because I don't gamble on there a lot. physically But- Good, your TV's screaming loud. Who's TV? way more Glick. Okay. true
00:07:44
Speaker
But that one game with the Chiefs, you know, where Mahomes was, like, if he got this certain amount of yards, and I think he had actually got it, like, just over. And then at the end of the game, instead of just, like, running the clock out, like, kneeling, stuff like that, they were hiking the ball, and he was, like, taking steps back, losing yards. Yep. He did that. He did that with a lot of money on that. And I'm like, why would he even do that?
00:08:07
Speaker
other than that reason, yeah he was, he was, he was doing that last night. I was watching the game and I was like, man, and this is just me being a hater. Call it what you want to call it. I was thinking like, grab a, grab a third string defensive lineman and have him just run back there and spear him right in the fucking kneecap because he's doing that dance around, dropping back a couple, you know, the loose yards and to run the, try to run the clock out, just spear him right in the kneecap.
00:08:37
Speaker
and let Kermit flop around. yep but That be part of the the gambling aspect. Maybe he hit that number and that's what he was doing last night as well. And and the other thing I don't like too, man, is it's like,
00:08:55
Speaker
Patrick Mahomes, I feel like is treated differently from other quarterbacks because like that showed last night. Yeah. It's like that on trip. Yeah. With that Jared golf. his Yep. know That's exactly what I was going to mention. My homes
NFL's Shift to Entertainment & Chiefs' Favorable Calls
00:09:07
Speaker
gets, my homes gets barely touched and it's a flag. Golf gets absolutely fucking leveled. right yeah He stood up. He's good. Yeah.
00:09:19
Speaker
You know, he had to go into concussion protocol, but my homes is hit was worse, right? And it's like, eh, I don't know about that. Not only that though, here's the thing, man. It's like on the Mahomes thing, like they showed the replay a few times, like right then and there. And everybody's sitting there thinking like, like, what? Like, no, I think so. What was it? What was it? Eggman and, uh, what's he even called Joe Buck?
00:09:48
Speaker
He even was like, they were losing their mind. And then they went, he said, it's disgusting for a direct quote. Aikman said it is disgusting. Yeah. And then they went to the rules expert. And even he was like, yeah, there's absolutely 100%.
00:10:04
Speaker
No penalty here in any way, shape or form. Yeah, you know that's it. That's the thing I don't like about it too is they baby my home so much that it's not fair to defenders because he can run, right? And then he'll act like he's kind of going like he looks like he might be about to give himself up and slide so they stop and then he just keeps on running.
00:10:26
Speaker
And I'm like, well, how are you supposed to defend that? That's not what you can. You can't. And if you can't touch a quarterback, you can't do anything except put your fucking at this point. You might as well drop your edge rushers back to cover pass.
00:10:42
Speaker
I think that forget that I don't care if you're sliding or not, like, unless you're down into the slide, you're open game because you're a runner. Yeah, that's what they said about that one particular hit. He was opener. He thought because he dropped straight down that he was going to he and he did. He drew the fucking flag, but that was their whole thing. It was like it was he was open runner. He passed the line of scrimmage and he was in the middle of players.
00:11:13
Speaker
And not only that, it was a fumbled ball. Yep. You know what I mean? So you're a runner like right away. You're not even the QB anymore. You're a runner. The ball was fumbled. Anybody could have got that ball. You're a runner right now. In my opinion, if you pass the line of scrimmage and you're not past where the middle linebacker sets up, you're a runner and you don't have the ability to give yourself up. If you're in the mix of all the D linemen and the O linemen and the edge rushers, you don't have the ability to give yourself up like that.
00:11:46
Speaker
because there's way too much opportunity for you to get just past the D line and drop down and catch one of that. If you're an open field and you slide and get it, cool. Throw the flag all day long because that guy moving at you is coming at you at breakneck speed. I'm good with that. Yeah. And then that's the thing too, is you got to think about it. Like, here's my thing. If you don't want to get hit like that, don't run the ball. Don't leave the fucking pocket. Stay behind the line of scrimmage. Don't run the ball.
00:12:14
Speaker
be a pocket quarterback thing that, that given up, that's what causes this to happen because those guys are running to go tackle this guy. They lower a shoulder to hit hit him. He slides. Now where's his head and when where their kids are at? What's, what's the, what's the tackling players supposed to do? You can adjust your your course of action in the middle of a dive because you can't, this isn't the matrix. You can't make a fucking left at Albuquerque in the middle in an air.
00:12:42
Speaker
right Yeah, they want you to be able to be like spearing right at him because he gives up you got to like contort your body Yeah, do something you know what I mean that it doesn't do. Yep like no man that's not Fair to the defense that even even Joe buck and Eggman commented last night after that um When they were talking about the flag and it just being blatant a Bad call They're like, these reps are making it impossible. Like for defenders, they, like, they can't even touch Patrick Mahoney. Like David, they were talking about how, you know, and and, and a lot of people want to say, you know, Tom Brady was baby. Was he to a certain degree? Yes. You know, but nothing compared to this situation on Patrick. mos I go back and this isn't something new with the Kansas city chiefs. I go back about three, four years ago when Cleveland was playing them in a, in a divisional round.
00:13:37
Speaker
And there was a blatant, I mean, we had the touchdown defender came in blatant helmet to helmet. No call had it been, had we had they made the right call and Cleveland would have won that game, which would have been nuts, but yeah yeah it would it would have been a totally different game.
00:14:00
Speaker
But they just, I mean, this goes back four years with Kansas City. And it's just getting worse every season with the referees. The worst part is it's not even just calls again on my or for my homes. It's calls for the entire team. Look at the Atlanta's prime example, the Atlanta game.
00:14:20
Speaker
right? The the game winning touchdown that Atlanta, the Kirk cousins through to Drake London in the end zone. Drake is facing the quarterback ready to make that catch. The defender is wrapped around his waist with his back to the quarterback before the ball's even there yeah and no flag. He never made a play on the ball. He was hugging him around the waist. Like, how do you not throw a flag on that?
00:14:47
Speaker
And it's just, it's literally becoming the most blatant disregard for penalties or blatant assistance with penalties for only the Kansas city chiefs. No other quarterback, no other teams. You might get one or two calls in a whole weekend for the other teams, but Kansas city gets them every single week. Yeah.
00:15:13
Speaker
And yeah, I'll tell you. guy i firmly believe Go ahead. I'm sorry. No, no, you're good. Go ahead, man. I was just going to say that like the same thing. Like it's just, it's, it's just wild. I was just going to second what you were saying. I firmly believe if it wasn't for the Swifties, if Kansas city were to make the playoffs, take the Swifties out of the occasion or out of the equation, you'd have the lowest viewership in the Superbowl this year, especially now that Detroit spent eliminated.
00:15:42
Speaker
because no other fan base is as big as Kansas City right now with the Swifties involved. yeah No other fan base. Well, just, yeah you know, like I said, they're probably what it is. They're, they're a three win team. In my opinion, 11 of their 16 wins this season or by seven points or less du them those games were games that were decided by referees. Um,
00:16:11
Speaker
A couple post post-game interview last night, Will Anderson, will anderson Joe Mixon and CJ Stroud all spoke about the officials and the officiating. And they'll all pay a fine for it now. well but well Well, Andrew's came out and he said we knew it was going to be us versus the refs going into this game. That's what Anderson was defensive defensive in defensive back for Texans.
00:16:38
Speaker
ah Joe Mixon said everyone, and these are direct these are direct quotes from the players. Mixon said, everyone everybody knows how it is playing up here. You can you can never leave it up to the ref's hands in the whole world season. And that's exactly what you guys did when you guys played them. You guys went in there and it was like, you're not going to, it's not going to come down, do you? We're going to take the refs out of the equation by at least going up two scores. equation by That's the only way to be kids a city because any game that is decided by one score, they're literally going to win that game based on what the officials do. And CJ Stroud, lastly, he said, one of those things, you know, what's up before you walk into the arena. Stroud said, I can't argue with the ref and at the same time play football. I got to go do my job. Yup.
00:17:27
Speaker
So, and look at how bad he was getting blasted last night. He took eight sacks last night. He got hurt. He was hurt so bad that when Houston came out for their last possession, he snapped the ball and took a knee. Yeah. He was hurt that bad, but he came out to finish the game. Kudos to that kid for having the heart to come out and finish the game in a game that you knew was seriously one-sided two teams versus one. So kudos to him for that.
00:17:55
Speaker
but the fact that they were, I mean, they were leveling it in the backfield. So what they're going to, what they're going to have doing is putting flags on a quarterback. So it's going to become two hand touch on a quarterback. Well, and that, or I think, I think it's going to, I, I, and, and like, ah you know, we're not ones to necessarily wish it, wish injury on anybody, unless your name's DeShawn Watson, please go fuck yourself. well I would say that about my home. But, um,
00:18:26
Speaker
I think what's going to come down to is a little old school, New Orleans, Saint Shaw, McVeigh bounty. Yup. And they're going to stick some, but some fucking, um, nobody knows or some guy at the end of his career ready to retire. Yeah. And they're going to basically say, Hey, if you get a shot, talk him out. Yep. No, we'll take the penalty. We'll take the flag. We'll pay your fines. Whatever the case may be. If you get the shot, take his ass out because He's going to be continued to be protected by the referees and it's going to, I mean, I'll take him out of the equation. You've taken the referees out of the equation at this point. Yep. Go Washington commanders. You should 100% subscribe eater. Go commanders man alive.
00:19:16
Speaker
like one person on this call that There's only one person on this panel that seen that coming last night. who Who called that one commanders? yeah Yeah. Yeah. That's what I was saying. I'm not going to lie. When we were giving pigs, I was like, I was, I didn't expect for turnovers. I didn't expect yeah off to have four turnovers. Yeah. The lions did beat themselves though. Oh yeah. All day. And, and that quote, I, and I quote from text messages with Derek.
00:19:47
Speaker
I don't know about the Lions game. The commanders might shake something up. and I said, I don't know, man. They got less. They got lucky. In my opinion, Washington got lucky last week against Tampa Bay and low and behold, man, they were in 100% control. But yeah, I mean, I, I, I won't say I'm going to go as far as to like quote unquote boycott the NFL, but Um, I won't, but I won't be placing any bets on any game that Kansas city's in. Oh yeah. I wouldn't, I would go. I mean, I would say I'll boycott the Kansas city chiefs, you know, like that's hard because if they ended up playing our team, we got to watch it. Yeah. Oh, I was going to say, and then I ain't watching their other games anyway. Yeah. Right.
00:20:40
Speaker
Right? We're going to get to those here in just a few minutes. um But yeah, that that that game was just... way was don't do it yet it was it was It was hard to
Debating NFL Awards Criteria
00:20:54
Speaker
watch last night. And it know and i I had a lot of faith in Houston after after their performance last week. They looked good, man. They looked really good in that game last week. And then I was like, man, Houston's houston's rolling, baby. They're going to...
00:21:10
Speaker
They're going to come out and do the damn thing. And they kind of started off a little hot, but you, you can almost tell when a team knows that they're just, they're outmatched, you know, with the referees being on the corner. Uh, I mean, they came out and they smoked the chargers and I thought for sure the chargers had been hot pretty much most of the season. They, they, they were, they were rolling right into, and I was like, damn, they're going to take it to Houston and Houston came in there with five interceptions. Just Herbert was.
00:21:40
Speaker
a pick machine, just throwing the ball up in the air and whatever. was What was the mean? I'm just going to chuck it. I'm sure there's a Texans player down there somewhere.
00:21:51
Speaker
i mean That's pretty much what was happening. It was just like, there was several times in that game last week her like mother morehead and there was nobody there except for Texas players. It's like, what do you, who are you throwing the ball to, man? There's nobody out there except for Texans players. yeah So, uh, yeah, and I, I, I thought for sure Houston was going to come in and, and be them juggernauts, you know, take out the, you know, David versus Goliath. But, uh, man, it's, it's, it's, it's gross. So far I just want to address this, uh, Jayden Daniels win last night absolutely eliminates any talk about next for rookie of the year. Well, and this is, and and this is something that I talked with.
00:22:40
Speaker
We were, I was on Tony show a couple of weeks back last weekend. I think it was maybe it was last weekend. I don't think when it comes down to MVP or rookie of the year or defensive player of the year or any of that, I don't think your post-season stats should, should have any play in that. I think it should come down to what you do in the regular season because I mean, the Browns were absolutely trash this year, but Miles Garrett, there's no, there's no sense about what's about it. He's one of the best defensive ends in the league. Yeah, right. You know, and, and, and, and I'm sorry. I know a lot of people want to argue JJ walk, but I'm sorry, JJ, why you're not even in the same conversation. You were blanked. You were blanked four weeks in a row, five weeks in a row without making a single stat. You know, hands down, Miles Garrett is one of the best defensive player, if not the best.
00:23:33
Speaker
in the league on an absolute dog shit team, but they didn't know the season, but there's other teams that are well, like that, that, that, that in last night, what's his name? Carlofsky. Yup. Who was just a monster and post-season is post-season. I don't think post-season stats should, should reflect what happened in the regular season. But I agree with you with that win last night, regardless of my opinion, it's going to solidify him. Um,
00:24:04
Speaker
as the rookie of the year this year. But shout out to the commanders, man. Like I said, Derek, yeah you were you were the only one here that called it. I think Rick and I were like most of the rest of the country. We thought for sure the Lions were going to go in there and just absolutely have their way with the command. Yeah, but I still went Lions.
00:24:23
Speaker
when takess it ah I still, I stand by what I said, Jayden Daniels winning last night and Bo Nix losing last weekend. Jayden Daniels locks up rookie of the year. And I think that, and this is going to tell, this is going to debate a popularity conversation. If Buffalo wins today and Lamar wins the MVP, then it's simply based off of statistics. There's no other factors that play into the MVP race, aside from statistics at that point.
00:24:57
Speaker
and i and i And I think that's what should play into it largely is statistics <unk> seen um at the end of the day. And and it should be regular season and statistics. I don't think it should have anything to do with the postseason. Obviously, there there is ah there is a there is a percentage that's going to be you know popularity and whatnot.
00:25:26
Speaker
but I think it should be largely based off of statistics. When you're looking at rookies of the rookie of the years, MVPs, defensive players of the year, whatever the case may be with these awards, because you look at college football, you look at college football and and if does those awards outside of the Heisman trophy, but all those other awards are based off of stats. your dad You know, you see some fucking linebacker from Central Connecticut University winning the linebacker of the year award is like I never heard of this guy You're gonna look at his stats and he's an absolute mo an absolute monster. Yeah, you know But I don't think MVP should be based off of stats alone You know because it's it's your most valuable player not your highest statistic step Whatever the fucking word would be the fits in right there highest like music player
00:26:24
Speaker
I don't think it's all 100% stats, but I think a large portion. That's what the whole argument is being based off of right now is Lamar's stats are better than Josh's, but who's been the player in the clutch moments for either team more? In my mind, it's Josh. He's been that clutch player because a lot of times without his rushing touchdown or something like that, Buffalo may not have won that game. So what you're saying is that Baltimore is actually a better team than Buffalo.
00:26:53
Speaker
i'm not hey'll excuse me just for one minute yeah you I'm not saying they're a better team, saying that we're talking about a the valuable player.
Bills vs Ravens Game Preview
00:27:05
Speaker
You know, is Lamar there in the clutch moments when Baltimore's needed him or his stats better because they have, you know, better wins. Also you have to look at the, the strength and schedule. I mean, there's so many things that go into it, but the whole argument this season is based simply on, um, the stats. Yeah. I think that's where I disagree. I, I, well, and I think, because I think both Lamar and Josh are widely popular and whether you're a team, whether you're a fan of the team or not, people like them. People enjoy watching them play. You know, they both, they have a,
00:27:46
Speaker
uh I wouldn't say their play style differs from too much from each other because they're both they both can make running plays they can both make plays with their arm you know they're both you know when they I mean Lamar's made clutch plays when need be Josh has made clutch plays when need be I think, unfortunately, that's what you're left with, because if you run a poll, as far as popularity goes, I mean, it might be dead even, or it might be off by a percent or two. You know, they're going to be relatively close. um and's it's gonna it's it's goingnna be a tough It's going to be a tough choice this year for MVP, regardless, because both of them have played great all season. You know, like I said, I think this has been Lamar's best year. um Not necessarily based off of stats,
00:28:38
Speaker
but based off of, uh, intelligence and IQ and just, he's, he's just playing different this year than he has in previous years, you know? ye So, I mean, 100% can go either way. Uh, you know, I've, me personally, I'm, I'm with you. I would love to see Josh win it. I think the winner of today's game is going to decide the MVP race, yeah much like the winner yesterday's game decided the rookie of the year. Oh yeah. 100%. And I'll be out of, uh,
00:29:08
Speaker
low expectations ah for the commanders. Is that what you're talking about? Either. Um, I'll tell you what that that's been, that's been the one game this weekend that I've, I've struggled with i'm being um on my pick because it's like, I want to go bills for obvious reasons, but they're just like, man, they're still that the Ravens have just been Both teams have just been really good all season and should be a good game tonight. That's for sure. so i'm still on there I hope so. I do know that our two players that were potentially injured for tonight's game are not on the injury report. Ray Davis and Taryn Johnson are both ready to go tonight. Buffalo has zero impactful injuries on their injury report. Hell yeah.
00:30:03
Speaker
So you're talking about a healthy bills team against a Baltimore Ravens team, missing safe flowers. Yeah. But I mean, I don't, I don't think I'm not the biggest. I think Z flowers is mildly overrated, but he's been there for some major touchdowns this year. He has, he's been there for.
00:30:27
Speaker
like a couple of big plays here and there. but but And I'm speaking as a guy who had him on my bench in fantasy football. And he just was not super productive. I agree. i I ended up dumping him off of my team after a while. and He was not super productive. He reminds me of like old school, Becca.
00:30:49
Speaker
when Beckham first came in the league like he wasn't making continuous plays but he gives somebody to take the focus off of Andrews and Isaiah likely and those guys like when he's on the field he can be a threat don't get me wrong he can be so they put him on the field and it takes the focus off of the guys who are the go-tos It's like, Oh, they brought Z flowers and they're going to go to him. We need to make sure he's covered good. And then takes that focus and they're able to hit Bateman for a touchdown or hit Isaiah likely or whatever. So I think that's a big thing right there. Um, but I think you've got three major factors in today's game. That is the reason that I'm going to go with Buffalo over there. Oh, we're Baltimore tonight. You've got home field advantage. It is blistering fucking cold and snowing up there.
00:31:37
Speaker
You've got Baltimore's used to the cold and snow. there didn They don't get snow like Buffalo does. You've got a healthy Bills team, a full healthy Bills team, and you've got Buffalo looking for a revenge game against their worst loss of the season earlier this year. It's a Baltimore. And I think those three factors are what's going to play into. Oh, and if you want to go to the fourth, Buffalo is undefeated at home this season. They are 9-0 at home.
00:32:06
Speaker
So I think that they're, that's why I'm going to go bubble.
Analyzing Chiefs' Season & Officiating Impact
00:32:10
Speaker
It's going to be a good game. I think it's going to be a close game. I think it'll be a, it'll be a seven to 10 point game, but I think Buffalo pulls it out for, for a roll through. Cause they're, they're hot at the end of the season this year, but so's Baltimore, but I think Buffalo can just put it together better. They're not going to let Derek Henry put 200 yards on them. Like they did last time. ah Yeah, that's a, that's the other thing. Are they going to, are they going to slow down that? Or will they?
00:32:37
Speaker
Yeah, the machine known as Derek Henry. I just want to touch a little bit on last week's games. um Obviously, what happened with the Ravens and Steelers, we kind of expected that. The Steelers were on a four-game losing streak. Get going in, yeah. That's how I made it. That was kind of inevitable. The Commanders and Bucks, wow, that was a good game. That was a fun game to watch. Holy shit. That was fun.
00:33:06
Speaker
ah v and We've seen from Baker what he's gotten craft on from his career so far. um As good as he is, as much as we love him, as much as people love him, he still has his issues in big time games.
00:33:28
Speaker
Eagles just had their way with the Packers. I i went with the Packers last week. I lone wolf the Packers. um And, uh, I had, I might've had a little bit too much faith in the Packers going into Philly, but, uh,
00:33:50
Speaker
we talked about the Texans and chargers last week. I will say I loaned Wolf the Texans last week. Uh, so got that, got that, got that loanable victory there. Then Philly. Um, and then the bills, man.
00:34:06
Speaker
Uh, Brian lone wolf, the Broncos, but man alive, you guys went in there and just steamrolled them Broncos. Yeah. We kind of made them look a little silly. That game was over before it started. Holy crap. And then I just want to say shout out to the last two weeks that we've seen Sam Donald in Minnesota. Uh, there's the Sam Darnold that we know what I expected from the beginning of the season.
00:34:32
Speaker
bears sad welcome back I'm glad to see you didn't keep everybody's false hope alive too, too long. Yeah. Welcome back, Sam Darnold. We missed you, buddy. Uh, notice we're not calling you Sam fucking Darnold anymore now. No, because now you're the same Darnold we know and love because I, you know, and and the Rams are good. I mean, no, I'm not taking anything away from the, from the Rams. They aren't good. They're scary. Good. And, uh, they just, they just, like came in and Molly walked uh the Vikings last week and it was it was uh it was not good for for Minnesota uh last week I expected either yeah last week uh on our picks though I will say this across the board all of us four and two um I went one and one with my lone wolf picks but um yeah I mean there was just a couple games that separated us we all went ravens
00:35:32
Speaker
Obviously I went Texans and everybody else went Chargers. We went bills across the board. I went Packers to everybody's Eagles. Rick and I went bucks to Derek and b Brian doing commanders. Obviously there was this flip flop there and then Rick and I went Rams over the Vikings with Derek and triangle and biking. So no foreign two in the playoffs. Not not a not a bad not a bad day at the park if you say. However, this week,
00:36:02
Speaker
Rick and I are off to a whopping oh and two start. Yeah, Derek's got a one in one start. And I knew the commanders. Yeah, probably gonna win and I still didn't pick him.
00:36:22
Speaker
That leads us into the second half of the divisional rounds today. Coming up here shortly. um What is going on here? Why are people messaging me? I'm doing something. How about the hallway? We have the three o'clock game being the Rams and the Eagles. Wow. What? I have two. That's amazing. What? Bye, buddy. Both teams are. I'm the drawer. What? How do I do it? Both teams are killing it this year.
00:37:00
Speaker
ah The Rams started off a little sluggish, but you know again, you know that was one of those teams that i I know we've talked about it here on the show that I said once they got healthy, they were gonna be a damn force to wreck be reckoned with. as i' gonna say yeah They started off a little sluggish, but they were also a lot of injuries, yeah. Yeah, they got healthy and they just once they got healthy, man, they were just just embarrassing people. I mean, they're beating teams double digits every week almost.
00:37:30
Speaker
Um, a couple of close games here and there, uh, they had a close one. They had a dog fight with Buffalo, uh, in, in early December. I mean, that was a crazy game to watch. So that, that, that brings me to the, uh, just back to the, uh, the chief's thing is how many, how many teams did they, uh, just dishrag this, this year? Uh, not very many. Uh, they just rag anybody.
00:37:59
Speaker
Oh, Cleveland. Yeah, was it? Yeah. Was that it? Hold on a second. They beat the Niners by 10.
00:38:11
Speaker
they
00:38:14
Speaker
They... Nah, man. Pittsburgh, they beat by 19. Cleveland, they beat by 14. And those were the three big ones. Beat beat San Francisco by 10.
00:38:30
Speaker
Uh, and like I said, 11 of their wins, 11 of their wins were by seven points or less. Then they had three by 10 or more. and then they had your erect i nikey They haven't lost a Buffalo and then they had that absolute blowout by Denver when they benched everybody at the end of the season. And then you see teams like the Bills, the Ravens, the Rams. That have averaged 30 plus points per game. You know what I mean? engage So it's like if the cheese, if they let the cheese come through and win, it's like, come on, man. You know, better. Like these other teams are just better. Like period. They're just better. Yep.
00:39:08
Speaker
but the chiefs are still, they still, one of the playoffs, number one, they're still probably a betters favorite to go to the super bowl. But why, like why, what is, Oh, because the officials are going to carry them all the way there. I was going to say, because everybody knows the the rest jobs, yeah like what the ref jobs are. So yeah, the refs, and the refs know their job.
Chiefs' Running Backs Performance
00:39:27
Speaker
Um, sent me the greatest pictures in the history of fucking ever yesterday. And I'm going to pull them up real quick and show them to you guys because they're fantastic.
00:39:38
Speaker
Mm-hmm. I've just seen that. Oh yeah. And it's unnecessary roughness on the Texans for breathing and Patrick moments, personal bubble, 15 yard penalty, automatic first down. And then yeah yeah that so I just want to put that out there that if the chiefs managed to three P I will tell you right now, college football will get more of my viewership next year than the NFL will.
00:40:08
Speaker
100%. Well, I mean, I already, I was going to say, I already probably give college football just because there's so much more going on. You, you, are you, and if that happens, the aliens are coming because they're going to have to distract us. Yeah. i mean i I mean, I'm just, we know it's aliens now. I'm just saying it's really hard to say that the chiefs are good enough to three P yeah they got know that yeah based on everything that's been proven this year.
00:40:38
Speaker
Yeah. They're, they're just, I'm sorry. They're just not a good football team this year. Um, and and if anybody listening, do we, are ah do we sound salty? Are we salty? Maybe a little bit, maybe because we're sick and tired of these goddamn Kansas city chiefs. I welcome anybody to come up and argue about the skill level of the chiefs or where the other teams we've talked about. If you can bring a ballot argument about the Kansas city chiefs current skill level this season,
00:41:07
Speaker
Show me where they hands down defeated a team without a single stupid call. I will shut my mouth plain and simple. Who's the cheese running bags? Isaiah Pacheco. Pacheco and Green Hunt, Green Hunts back.
00:41:25
Speaker
No, Hunt's bag. Okay. That's what I was. Yeah. But who's been there? Go to running back all season. Isaiah Pacheco, right? ah but he's yeah but and What kind of season did he have? he He actually, he actually had good stats this year. Did he? He is. He is a good running back. He's a fucking no he is the good running back. That's why I was curious. Cause I couldn't think of it. It slipped me one second. I'll tell you for a guy who's significantly smaller than Derek Henry. He is an angry, angry runner.
00:41:52
Speaker
yeah he's Yeah, he gets yards when he needs to get yards. Yeah. I mean, he's not exactly a small guy. He's 5'10", 216. Derek Henry's like 6'3", 260.
00:42:06
Speaker
Is really? I didn't know he was that big. Bro, were they spun around and showed a camera view, direct overhead camera view directly behind Lamar Jackson. And Derek Henry was lined up in the eye formation. You couldn't see Lamar Jackson. He was gone. Like Derek Henry was like.
00:42:25
Speaker
like monsters, like wide. I didn't realize he was that tall. He is 60 six, yeah six, two, six, two, two, 40, two, 47. Okay. I was off a little. I said six, three, two, 60. I wasn't off very much. He's my minor I think he's the biggest running back in the NFL
Criticism of NFL Officiating & Leadership
00:42:41
Speaker
right now. I don't think anybody else, because look at, look at like, and I don't have a whole lot is Josh, is Josh Jacob still playing? Cause that was like really the only other guy who was that big.
00:42:51
Speaker
Yeah, but he's not putting up numbers like no, he is. No, he did that, that one season with the Raiders. Yep. It's just Josh Jacobs is in a green Bay. I thought I heard his name somewhere. yeah I think it went to green Bay. so Josh Jacobs. I, I, like I said, if you can bring a valid argument to the table for why Kansas city is, is good enough to be where they are, I'll shut up.
00:43:21
Speaker
I won't bad mouth them again all season. I'll talk shit all day long about Taylor Swift. I won't talk shit about the Chiefs. i know Yeah, my thing is is like there's really nothing anybody could say anyway, cuz even if you came up and said, okay, they got a good running back, good quarterback. They got a decent tight end at the end of his career and they got x Xavier were there. They got a decent wide receiver. I'd be like, okay, that's true. A lot of teams have that.
00:43:47
Speaker
But also show me these other teams that have that, that are winning games blatantly with these reference. You're not gonna be able to show me that, but we can go through and pull up all types of video. There's meme videos everywhere. I mean, everywhere right now of all season long bad calls being made in the chief's favor. and I'm like, come on, man, you just can't argue that.
00:44:11
Speaker
Yep. So anyway, for the last couple of years, not only that, but just the last couple of years, but specifically this season alone. I mean, they like like, I like it. Like you said earlier, it's, but now the rest don't even care. They're just like, fuck it. Yeah. We're doing it. And there's nothing anybody can do about it. That's right. And you know, you can't do anything about it until that's the thing that bothers me. And and I've always had a problem. I cannot fucking stand Roger Goodell.
00:44:39
Speaker
He plays too many favorites. He did it with Brady. Yeah. Worst commissioner ever in NFL history. We need a commissioner to come in there and slap these referees in the mouth and be like, look, we're going to go back and look at questionable calls. And every time there's a questionable call, we're finding the hell out of you. But didn't they back on didn't they just redo his contract to give him commissionership again for a few more years?
00:45:06
Speaker
i I don't know. I know it's been the heat. I know he was on the hot seat for a few years, but he nothing ever came come of it. Yeah, it's just it. There's no accountability being held to the officials, you know, they're supposed to be the ones that keep the game on an even keel. But they're not and you can tell when they're not in like blatantly can tell when they're not. Yeah.
00:45:36
Speaker
It's just like, uh, I got, when I was liking it to the, to the wrestling, you know, it's just like, you know, when the ref, you know, I mean, he falls down. He's like one, two, three. And you can tell that he's like one, two. Yeah. the delay You know what I'm saying? Just give me a chance to throw his shoulders off. Yeah. yeah it's like Come on, man. Yep. We can tell now you're a thousand percent right. And.
00:46:01
Speaker
faculty jumping But what what can we do about it? We're just the viewers. We're just the people that continue to watch and continue to pay the paychecks for everybody.
Rams vs Eagles Game Preview
00:46:09
Speaker
Yeah, so Pacheco. This season now, mind you, he he had an injury where he was out most of the season. He's only played seven games.
00:46:22
Speaker
in those seven games this year, he's had 83 rushes for 310 yards. He's averaging 44.3 a game, 3.7 a carry, and he's got one touchdown on the season. And then what ah what about Hunt? Cause I ain't really heard much about him. Cream Hunt is so fucking talented. You know, we play fantasy football.
00:46:45
Speaker
And somebody probably had him, but I didn't. He's super talented, but he's also super injury prone now. So three mar career. So they picked up cream hunt. When Isaiah Pacheco went down, he played 13 games. He had 200 rush or 200 rushes for 728 yards, uh, averaging 56 yards a game, 3.6. Um, he had seven TDs on the season. So his numbers were very similar to Pacheco was more tuddies.
00:47:16
Speaker
Yeah, which which these are typical numbers for Kareem Hunt. Kareem Hunt only had 1,000 yard rushing season in his in his career. And that was his rookie year. He had 13 or he had 1,327. Outside of that, he's he's he had a 824 season. ah His first season with Cleveland, he had 179. He only played in eight games, but he was playing behind a very healthy Nick Chubb.
00:47:43
Speaker
Um, his second season in Cleveland, he had a 41 season. Yeah, he missed, uh, cause I remember he got in that legal trouble and everybody, everybody's like, man, we don't even know if he's coming back to the NFL. That one point was in 19 when, when Cleveland picked him up, he was suspended like six games or something like that. Wasn't it one point with the chiefs? Wasn't he behind a Tyree kill too?
00:48:11
Speaker
Yeah. So that's going to hurt his hurt his numbers too. When you've got yeah somebody like Tyreek Hill running in front of you. Yeah. He's, he's consistent when he's playing. So, you know, you want a guy like that because he's also got, you know, a total of 47 touchdowns and a seven year career. Yeah. His worst season being 2022, where he only, or I'm sorry, 2019, which was his first year with Cleveland.
00:48:36
Speaker
Uh, and he only played half the season and he was playing behind Nick Chubb. So, you know, he only had 43 rushes in that season and he had two touchdowns, yeah you know, and then in 22, he was still with Cleveland. He, uh, he only had 123 rushes, but he had three tuddies. So, I mean, he's consistent. He, he, he is a very reliable backup quarterback running back. And that's what he is. He's a backup running back.
00:49:03
Speaker
And he's up he's reliable and he's consistent. He stays pretty much right where you need him to be as far as if you're going to have him as a backup. He's getting yards, he's getting tuddies and and he's also one of those goal line guys. what He was doing, you know, you get within five yards of the end zone, you can put ah hunt in and he's going to punch it in. Yeah. He's also your third down guy at third and three or something like that. Yeah. Yeah.
00:49:32
Speaker
Again, he's again he's 511 to 16. He's not. He's not small, but he's not necessarily big, but he's also quick and and elusive like he can move around and dance and he's got that break net speed. If you give him an opening though so.
00:49:48
Speaker
So do you think do you think anybody takes out or attempts to assassinate Matt Stafford of the Rams going there and just roll over to fucking Eagles? Because Eagles fans are known for being fucking violent. Let's let's ah let's let's chat about this Philly, Los Angeles game and make our picks in this game as we chat about it. Shout out to Philadelphia Eagles in your trash bag fans and showing your shoe colors last week to the Packers fans.
00:50:17
Speaker
wait ah Way to get yourself fired and banned from the stadium, sir. Whether they started over that guy that was calling that lady a C word. I didn't see that. And i know yeah I know Jared verse said that he hates Eagles fans and they're putting it on billboards in Philly right now. a man I'm not gonna lie a few years back, the Eagles were playing the Titans and it was in Nashville and we went to the game.
00:50:44
Speaker
and uh and it looked like they were gonna win and then we pulled it off at the end and it was just one of the best feelings because i'm not gonna lie there was a lot of fans that were probably you know cool whatever but a lot of them were kind of rude like oh yeah getting drunk and just trash talking and saying stuff. I was like, I mean, I get it, you know what I mean? But, so you know, there's a line, you know? And ah so, it but when we pulled it off at the end, because of that, it was a good feeling, man. I just was running around doing this. I was like, fly was fly back home, you know what I'm saying? I just felt great. Yeah. The Philadelphia, let's, Philadelphia in general, whether it's,
00:51:28
Speaker
basketball, hockey, baseball, football, college sports. Their fan base is known to be scumbags, just absolute scumbags. Um, and they showed that, you know, that showed every year, every season. Um, man, Matt Stafford and the Rams coming into Philly today, red hot Rams.
00:51:51
Speaker
And, and, and let's be honest, man, Philadelphia, they got one weapon. It's Barkley. I'm sorry. I'm not going to say Jalen hurts as a bad QB. I don't think he's as good as he's overrated. He's highly overrated. Um, you know, they, they, they showed last week, uh, their, their, their, their biggest wide receiving threat was on the sideline reading a damn book last week because he only had a, what, three targets.
00:52:20
Speaker
like
00:52:25
Speaker
ah like Yeah, what did he let me see what did he have last week? The postseason did oh No, I'm sorry. He had one reception for ten yards last week Who's that? A.J. Brown homeboy. Yeah, it was on the sidelines reading a book last week. Yeah, like is it like The Eagles are so overrated and their fan base like literally their fan base is trash. I have never heard one person outside of Eagles fans say anything good about the Eagles fan base. They're not like and and I hate to liken it to begin. It's going to sound biased, but the bills are notorious for their charitable stuff. You've never heard of Philly doing anything of the sort ever.
00:53:20
Speaker
you know, and it's just when you're, except for Kevin Hart, that's it. but You know what I mean? I mean, what does he do? I mean, I'm going to say he does a lot of stuff, you know what I mean? But I'm just saying he he's not really connected to football. He's just really, I guess, you know, it's just notorious for, for being a shitbag fan base. Well, I will say, you know, I will say, uh,
00:53:47
Speaker
You know, Jason Kelsey did do a lot of charity stuff when he was there. Now he's now he's just hawking every goddamn thing. Jim and Nick Saban together are fucking and unstoppable all over your TV screen if you're watching anything to do with football. you Who's joined the mix? who like It doesn't even matter if you're watching football. You're just watching TV in general. It's Saban. It's Kelsey. And now John Cena.
00:54:11
Speaker
Oh yeah. Well, he's a, he's done his farewell tour and wrestling. So yeah, he's got to get something going. John Cena's doing McDonald's. He's doing like yeah hello men's body water. Like Derek Henry with state farm. Yeah. Don't forget Derek Henry doing it. State farm commercials. I'm like, Oh man. No, but, um, you know, like I said, the biggest weapon that has that, that Philly has it's the Barkley show in Philadelphia and shout out to Barkley one.
00:54:39
Speaker
Hell of a season this year, man. Yeah. Barkley's always been good. Barkley's always been good. He was good in New York. New York was just bad. yeah Um, but shout out to Barkley, man. He's having a phenomenal season. Uh, definitely much, much deserved for Barkley. Um, but that's, that's their biggest weapon. That's their biggest threat. and and And that's their only weapon, honestly. You know, and you got the red hot freaking Rams coming in with Stafford and cuff.
00:55:08
Speaker
and Nakua and Higbee. And shout out to, shout out to Tyron Williams. um That guy, I don't think very many people knew who he was he coming under his his third year as a running back in the league. ah I don't think very many people knew who he was, but homeboys balling out this year, man. yep i know now and And he was a mid-season Fantasy grab for me and I know how much he helped me in fantasy football this year. Yeah, I mean Definitely, uh, yeah, he uh, he he uh played all 16 games 316 rushes 1300 rushing yards 14 tuddies he's averaging 81.2 yards a game 4.1 a carry That's a number For guys who most people had never even heard of
00:56:02
Speaker
Yeah. and And last year you look back at last year, which is wild. Nobody's heard of him. He played in 12 games last year. He had 228 rushes for 1144. He was averaging 95 yards a game. He had, and he was averaging five yards a carry and he had 12 tuddies last year. And still nobody heard of him this year. Nobody talked about him because you've got guys like Pacheco, Derek Henry, you know, the guys that steal the spot, you know, Barkley, they steal the spotlight.
00:56:34
Speaker
and it And the Rams don't sleep on that defense. Don't sleep on the Rams, period. Matt Stafford can put fucking numbers up when he needs to put numbers up. So I think i think this week, the I mean, they absolutely decimated the Vikings last week. They picked them apart. that was That was another game last week that was over before it started.
00:56:59
Speaker
ah you know Shout out to the Rams, man. last week. And I think, I think Philly's going to have their hands full this week. yeah but What's, what's, what's your thoughts on this game there? Before you, before we make our picks, what's your, what's your thoughts on this? This Philly LA game versus East coast. Yeah. I think that, uh, for sure anybody could win the game. Um,
00:57:27
Speaker
Hey, you're in. But I think that, you know, I like Jalen Hurts though. I feel like, you know, I don't know. I like him and AJ Brown and now with Saquon Barkley in there. ah I think they're just one of those teams, man, like sometimes, you man, you just look at a team and you just don't like them.
00:57:50
Speaker
yeah You just don't like that team, you know what I mean? And so like I think, you know, and with the bad fans, so they all get a bad rap because of it, you know? um And then the Rams though, they got it together and they are, they're definitely on fire. And so it's anybody's game, just like the Bills and Ravens, you know? It's so tough for me to decide who's going to win. Like I don't, I mean,
00:58:19
Speaker
I wanna say, go ahead and just say, im i'm um um I am gonna go ahead and say it. I'm ah ah i'm going with the Eagles though. i just so you know It's just like with the Commanders and the Lions. you know It's like the Rams on paper should beat the Eagles. But I just don't feel like it's gonna go down that way.
00:58:41
Speaker
should be Yeah. and And I don't need to discredit, you know, AJ Brown or Devontae Smith because, or or even Dallas Goddard. I mean, I'm not trying to just, you know, but they, they, this season has been all about Barkley and Philly and, and, and, you know, obviously Philly has weapons. And like I said, I'm not gonna, I'm not going to hate on Jalen hurts. I agree with what Rick said. I think he's hurt. I think he's a bit overrated, but He still, he still balls out. I mean, he, he gets out there and and plays when he's healthy. Uh, and I say that too, like what I was saying about the Eagles and the Rams so and at the end of the day, I don't think, uh, whoever wins will play the winner of the Ravens bills game, right? No. Yeah.
00:59:31
Speaker
No, but got to go to the we got to go to the NFC. That'd be the Super Bowl. Okay. So you got to go NFC. So who will they they go to play Washington? Washington play the commanders. Yep. Okay. That would be good. Cause I was going to say, I don't think the Eagles or the Rams would beat the bills or the Ravens. So not yet. we're just get well but ha Tough to say cause the bills played the Rams and it was a 90 point game right there. Right. So but I don't think you would see that in a rematch between those two. Right. Oh, there's a new series on a new special on Netflix called American Manhunt. The O.J. Simpson story. Oh, nice. yeah I just thought that might be one worth watching just because and I can mention it because it is plenty football related. All right. i I will say I will say about jail in this season, his numbers have dropped quite a bit compared to the last couple of seasons.
01:00:26
Speaker
um He had 248 complete of three 63 or three 61 because they've got the. Um, he threw for just shy of 3000 yards. Um, and he had 18 tuddies. Uh, last year he was almost 4,000 yards passing with 23 tuddies. He does have a better QB rating this year compared to last year, but, uh, but yeah, his numbers have kind of fallen off a little bit from last year to this year. I think again, that falls back into the fact that Um, it, you know, it was the Barkley show and that shows in his stats. Uh, Barkley just absolutely just, and, and he's just, he, he's being economical. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like sometimes, you know, uh, you spend less on gas, but go further. You know what I mean? Like, he you know, it's like shy 3000, but making those yards count, you know? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, yeah. He, I mean, I'm Barkley.
01:01:26
Speaker
played in all 16 games, he had 345 rushing yards or rushing attempts for over 2000 rushing yards. He was averaging 125.3 a game with 5.8 per carry and he had 13 tuddies. You know, he did have he did have two fumbles, one for a loss, but you know, like it was it was the Barkley show this year. Oh yeah. And that shows in everybody's stats. I mean, even um
01:01:59
Speaker
Even AJ Brown, um,
01:02:03
Speaker
his, uh, his numbers dropped significantly this year. I mean, 400 yards less receiving almost half the receiving number. Um, his yards per K game were roughly the same. He still had seven tuddies, but I mean that dropped and, um, Devontae Smith.
01:02:28
Speaker
Um, yeah, his, his numbers dropped this year too. So I mean, he was under a thousand receiving yards, but yeah, I think it's going to come down to whose defense shows up. Yeah. With the Eagles and the Rams. And I think, I think Billy's defense can be a little bit suspect at times, but, So Rick, what are your what are your thoughts and opinions and and who you take you taking in this game? So we can play a drinking game and see how many times they mention the trash fans in Philly or the flyers in LA.
01:03:08
Speaker
We can do that. We can play. We can play a drinking game to see how many times, especially how many times I mentioned how much it would mean to LA with the city burning to the ground. Like yeah that's going to be, I bet that that's talked about 30 times today. It's a good thing. It's a good thing tomorrow is a holiday because it sounds like I'm getting the freaking.
01:03:24
Speaker
Hammer. With that said, I think L.A. Oh, fuck, I'm so glad I can't hear the TV because Collins worth calling it. And he'll talk about how my homes is better than both quarterbacks. Um, yeah, I think that L.A. got healthy and started clicking and jiving it absolutely the right time. I say that. But then after they had that 90 point game with Buffalo between the two, they then went and um but um only put up like 12 points in the next game. It was fucking weird.
01:03:53
Speaker
ah You know, I think that, that, that, that game with Buffalo, man, I, you guys left your defense at home and so did LA because so yeah like every other play was a damn touchdown. It was was explosive play was highlight reel after highlight reel. So I think l LA has a decent, ah has it at a decent defense. Their offense can be ungodly at times, like unworldly.
01:04:17
Speaker
Um, Billy has Saquon Barkley and they have Jalen hurts who can, who can make a play when he needs to make a play sometimes. And he does have some, some major threat receivers at the same breath. Matt Stafford has Cooper cup and Pooka Nakua, who are both healthy and both ready to roll. I'm going to, and what?
01:04:43
Speaker
Higby selfie and ready to go to Tyler. higg I think, i mean I think this is going to be, I hope it's a close game, but I think the Rams are going to pull it out.
01:04:55
Speaker
So I think the Rams won this one. I'm kind of stated my piece on the game. Uh, you know, uh, I am a, I am a Stafford guy. I loved him when he was in Detroit. I felt bad for him when it was in Detroit. I got excited when he went to LA or he went to the Rams.
01:05:12
Speaker
I've always been a Cooper Cooper cup guy. um I'm just gonna um there. you're you're You're on your own here, buddy. You're lone wolfing today. That's all right. I missed my opportunity yesterday with the commander, so yeah. um I'm going Rams here. I think it'll be. I think it'll be an entertaining game to say the least. There's a there are weapons on both sides of the ball.
01:05:41
Speaker
Offensively. So you know a lot of things could happen.
01:05:51
Speaker
But sorry. you know though you're good ah The second divisional round game today over here and and in in in our world in the AFC. The Ravens in the Bills.
01:06:11
Speaker
what He actually has me nervous. Well, I mean, this is this is one that I've been struggling with who in the regular season. I'm and i'm sorry, Rick. I gotta throw this out here in the regular season. ah Baltimore absolutely. char up but i mean They smack the taste out of out of Buffalo's mouth in a 35 to 10 victory. Yeah, the worst loss of the season.
01:06:42
Speaker
Yeah, NFC divisional around games, obviously the Buffalo Bills, they got revenge on their mind. They got advancing to the AFC championship to take on the Kansas City referees in a potential spot in the Super Bowl. The Baltimore Ravens are just doing what the Baltimore Ravens do, win, look ridiculously good, stupid good.
01:07:08
Speaker
Obviously, they've got a date in the AFC Championship, hoping to get to the Super Bowl. Lamar's chasing his, what, third, fourth MVP. ah ah Third, I think. And Derek Henry is an absolute force to be reckoned with. We all know that. As NFL fans, when he was in Tennessee, he was an absolute force to be reckoned with. He came to Baltimore this season. I'll say he started off a little a little sluggish.
01:07:38
Speaker
But once Derek Henry got to Derek Henry and it was game on. So Rick, I'd like to start with you mainly because this is your squad. This is your team. What's your, uh, what's your thoughts and opinions? And we all, I think, I think it's safe to say we all know who you're picking, in this but what's your thoughts and opinions? Um, yeah, obviously I'm going to go with the bills, but I can give my, my supporting reasons for that pick. Um, I don't think that they're.
01:08:05
Speaker
I don't think they're willing to lose the second game against that a a a conference rival. I know we have the home field advantage. I know we have a healthy bills team. I know that Josh Allen's stats are phenomenal and below freezing games um versus Lamar who actually they showed his stats earlier. They're not even close to what Josh's are when the temperatures are low.
Derrick Henry's NFL Impact & Player Comparisons
01:08:30
Speaker
ah I think that Buffalo, if they can control Derek Henry, and that's the big thing. They have to slow down Derek Henry. If they can control Derek Henry, I think they have a 100% chance of winning that game. um If Derek Henry does like Derek Henry did in the last game, there's no way. Like we cannot let Derek Henry have 200 yards. It won't work out in our favor.
01:08:54
Speaker
Even if we're putting up or running back with 200 yards, it still won't work out for us because 200 yards always seem to end in seven and six points. When he has yards like that, they always seem to end with six points. So in order for Buffalo to win this game, they have to control Derek Henry. They have to play smart football. josh has protect The ball.
01:09:20
Speaker
I think, and we have to, we also have to try to contain Lamar Jackson a little bit, which I don't think that'll be that hard because we do have here. Why real quick. We do have the players on the O line and the address to make sure Lamar doesn't get too many breakouts because his size just isn't Derek Henry's blow through the fucking line size. but So I think Buffalo can win it, but this is another game that I think is going to come down to a seven to 10 point differential. It will most likely, ah most likely it'll be a one score game.
01:09:50
Speaker
So that's just where I stand on that. What say you? Oh, what's say you look de well, and my business, uh, mind persona. Um, I am taking the Ravens. Um,
01:10:18
Speaker
theyre Definitely there's really no telling who's going to win this game in my honest opinion though. You know what I mean? Like if you, you could pick it apart all day, even with the, you know, the win earlier in the season, this is different football. This is a reset, you know, this is, you know, zero, zero, just see what happens. And, um, and then obviously, you know, they've studied all the tape of what they did wrong and to contain Henry, you know,
01:10:47
Speaker
You hope, we hope. Right. ah Everybody does. I mean, you know what I mean? Every week when you face a running back like that, everybody's like, man, we hope we we got, you know, the the ah ah whatever the the magic is to stop this guy. Yeah. The plan or whatever. um But I just, if I'm being honest, I'm going Ravens emotionally just because I would like Derek Henry to win the Super Bowl.
01:11:17
Speaker
they go I mean, I'm just, gonna I'm just being real, you know, nothing against the bill. I really like Josh Allen, you know, a lot as well, but he never played for the Titans. So, that's fine. Thank you for the kind words. Appreciate that. That's fine. So yeah, man, should be good. There goes kickoff. Yep. Yeah.
01:11:42
Speaker
kickoff for the Eagles and Rams here. Uh, yeah, man, I, yeah this, this, this is one game. I was really, was this is one that I was really hoping I wasn't going to have to make a pick out. I was really hoping things would have played out differently last week. And and one of them would have lost because I didn't want to make this pick, uh, one a, because as a Cleveland Browns fan and as a division rival, I hate the Baltimore Ravens for various reasons, multiple reasons. That's why I hate the Baltimore Ravens. One being in their first Super Bowl should have been the col Cleveland Browns Super Bowl victory, because that was our team. That was Cleveland's team. But they are a division rivals. Then I'm over here with the Buffalo Bills. Obviously, you know I'm an honorary member of the Mafia. I like that team. It's one of those teams that I've always kind of liked.
01:12:40
Speaker
I do like Josh Allen. I think Josh Allen is an absolute ridiculously for what super talented guy. Like and some of his, some of his run places, he's far too big of an individual to be running the way he does. He's going to hurt somebody or himself yeah or himself.
01:13:01
Speaker
But ah you know shout out to the monster that is Derek Henry. I will say this. Derek Henry is having one of his best seasons ever this year ah with that just shy of 2,000 rushing yards. He's averaging 113 a game, 325 rushing attempts, 5.9, almost 6 a carry. He's got 16 tuddies.
01:13:31
Speaker
He's had three fumbles that he's only lost one. ah I say this because even his in his seasons in and Tennessee, he only had one season that was over 2,000 yards. He had a yeah you know he had multiple 1,000 rushing yard games, but know this is this is one of his better years. and And he's been in the league now going on eight years. This is his eighth season interview in the league. So this is definitely one of his better years, not that he's really had a badge year.
01:14:00
Speaker
because even in 2021 when he missed half the season. He still was just ended up just shy of 1000 yards rushing. And still put up 10 times and he only played eight games. You do have that for that that force to be reckoned with is Derek Henry. He's an absolute monster. Everybody knows that. Again, he's too big and strong to be running like he does. um He absolutely embarrasses teams on a regular basis and players. So to contain their Henry, when you do that, then you open up Lamar Jackson to the Lamar Jackson show, whether he's running around like a lunatic chicken with his head cut off or he's st throwing the ball down the field and hitting one of his favorite targets ever created being Mark Andrews. And now he has the new favorite
01:14:59
Speaker
Now he has the new favorite target in that same position. And here goes hurts for a TD. Oh man, you must be ahead of me. a That was a big run. Yeah, I think i am we're always, we're, we're like, oh, last week I was like two minutes ahead of the guys. This is crazy. ja That was must be way ahead of me. Cause I mean, dude, if he runs at all, if it's this one, it is man it's like 50 yards.
01:15:30
Speaker
Yeah, 50 hour run. Yep, I just saw the replay of it. dan bro he Got more yards and Barkley already. yeah But Lamar Jackson has a new favorite target in the same exact position and they missed the kick by a fucking mile. Yeah, and that's in Isaiah likely.
01:15:54
Speaker
and that guy's an absolute monster. He has a flowers is out, but he still has ah Bateman and Algalore. They're they're there. So this is and and Josh element and shout out to James Cook, man. James Cook is another guy like who's this guy? He's doing what? Would I have a decum from from Buffalo? Ray Davis like yeah they're both doing the same shit. Yeah, Shakir. I think it's his name, right? So Shakir, the receiver. Yep.
01:16:23
Speaker
Yeah, just, uh, you know, Josh, ah Josh Allen, Josh Allen reminds me a lot of not granted. He didn't have, he did have digs for a few years, but Josh Allen reminds me of Brett fault or not. Uh, Tom Brady in one aspect of.
01:16:42
Speaker
Tom Brady was notoriously known for taking less money so they could bring guys onto the, and not superstars. I mean, we we hear names like Edelman and- They weren't superstars until Tom Brady was playing with them. till he was them that even Even down in Tampa, Scotty Miller was a nobody knew who Scotty Miller was.
01:17:06
Speaker
And he was an absolute beast in Tampa when they won that Super Bowl because that's what taught and and I think Josh Allen has that same appeal and he does that same mindset too. Yeah, because um You know, you're looking at you you look at you look at Buffalo's wide receivers Khalil Shakir, they do got a Mari Cooper.
01:17:32
Speaker
They just got a Murray Cooper, though. They didn't have him through the first of the season. Yeah, but he's been there for. But he wasn't playing for the first half of the season, at least. Yeah, he he came in. He was like week eight or something. We already talked about this once. Yeah, like week seven, week six, week seven, because he only played six games in Cleveland. So and I know he had I know he's had some injuries like he's only played eight games.
01:17:58
Speaker
And he hasn't been, and he hasn't been a difference maker yet in Buffalo. So, but, uh, you know, and I know Keon Coleman, he's been there for a minute, hasn't he? No, he's a rookie. Is he a rookie? Yeah, he's a rookie draft from Florida state. Okay. So, you know, again, Shakir and Coleman, you know,
01:18:20
Speaker
Josh has played they've meshed well. So this is a very hard game for me to pick and he's got running backs that are making 50-yard catches to David's and the 47-yard reception Is wrinkly today because they've got him listen here isn't an active with concussion Uh, according to what my brother said he's clear to play How did you guys get clay pool? We don't have chase clay pool According to your roster, you do. That's a new one. I didn't know that. He's on. a on injury He's on. He's on injured reserve. But nonetheless, according to your roster, you guys have James Claypool. That's a new
Ravens vs Bills Predictions & Analysis
01:18:58
Speaker
one. I didn't know that. and yeah either Oh, here's another name for Buffalo's wide receivers. Mac fucking Hollins. Yeah. Mac Hollins. Yeah. I remember him a couple of games in Atlanta, but nothing prior to that.
01:19:16
Speaker
And you guys got Curtis Samuel too. Yes. We do have Curtis Samuel. I didn't know that. He's only got a couple of tuddies this year. A couple of receptions hasn't played a shit ton of games. He might've come in a couple of games for a player too, but he's not going to go to receiver, but he does have a receiving touchdown from Josh.
01:19:36
Speaker
He's only yeah, he's only played one game for three and he's got three receptions for 68 yards in a tutty and his long being a 55 yard touchdown pass. Yep, so that's right. Josh is like Tom Brady in the aspect that he can make a fucking star receiver and a name out of anybody on the team. So yeah, like you said, this is this is. This is a very, very hard, tough pick for me. Because I'm torn, you know, not an.
01:20:04
Speaker
And it doesn't you know take away the love or hate aspect away from it. I'm looking at it as a fan as a fan of football, as a guy who likes to sit here and break down numbers and break down this and that. You can't really compare strength and schedule because their schedule is pretty similar schedules you know for the most part. um
01:20:28
Speaker
But
01:20:32
Speaker
I'm really leaning more towards the Ravens and it all comes down to the Derek Henry fact.
01:20:40
Speaker
Yep. I mean, I'm not, I'm not adding you on your pick. if you I'm not, because you're you're looking at it from a completely but unbiased opinion. Yeah. Uh, you know, that's going to leave you with a lone and wolf status. and I don't care on the bills. Last time I checked, it's always been bills versus the world.
01:21:02
Speaker
Yeah. Now, not that I'm not rooting, not that I'm, now when I'm watching the game tonight, you'll be happy with whoever wins. I'm 100% behind the bills. Like I'm rooting for the bills to win, saying fuck the Ravens. But if I'm making picks and I'm making an educated pick, I'm going to go with the Ravens. And that might come down to the fact that, you know, they, you know, I'll flow it.
01:21:31
Speaker
God, man, I hope Josh Allen shows up and not like. Not the old Josh Allen. Yeah, not the old Josh Allen, but I'll tell you what, but so let me throw this mix in there. If Josh Allen was the quarterback of the, uh, against, of the bills against the Ravens that had Ray Lewis and that lineup on it, I would 100% expect. Because Ray Lewis would magically fucking appear right in front of the ball and catch it.
01:22:01
Speaker
but that are just beat up Josh Allen before the game and take his lunch money. And no yeah that that was, that was one that I've been, I've been struggling with this pick all weekend. I even leaned up to the weekend, like, man, you put the two teams on paper and Ravens. Yeah. You look at it on paper, technically, quote unquote, have more stars, but The bills are equally as good with these quote unquote no name players. Which I hate to say a no name player because, you know, if you're playing in the NFL, you're probably, you're you're obviously very talented and very skilled. Because none of us will play NFL for obvious reasons.
01:22:48
Speaker
so It's because I blew my knee up in seventh grade, otherwise I'll be going straight to the NFL. stubbed my toe that one time and tossed me in my NFL grip. Yeah. Tossed my whole NFL career, guys. I was going to make it. I was going to make it big, I tell you. picture That's funny.
01:23:11
Speaker
ah But yeah, I mean, I think I've been some decent games. I mean, obviously we we don't have to beat that horse to death anymore. we We all know how we feel about the stupid Kansas City Chiefs.
Commanders vs Lions Game Highlights & NFL Inconsistencies
01:23:26
Speaker
ah you know We got whoever wins the Rams Eagles game taking on the commanders next week and the winner of the Bills Ravens will take on the Chiefs next week.
01:23:40
Speaker
ah
01:23:43
Speaker
I do want to say that the I'm going to go ahead and call it now. The Cinderella story that is Jaden Daniels and the Washington Commanders comes to an abrupt end next week. No matter who they play. Yeah, whether it be the Rams or the Eagles.
01:24:05
Speaker
Dang, I think so. Yup. No doubt. I don't think so, man. I think so. I think you're wrong. I think you're wrong. ah yeah know i i was i was I was wrong yesterday. I was wrong yesterday. I think the commanders are sneaky better. Like, I mean, cause I know y'all know that they're they're doing well, obviously. ah yeah I think they're sneakily a little bit better than what we think.
01:24:33
Speaker
No, I absolutely the last two seasons shout out to Washington, especially this season. You know, Washington is. I they are a legit playoff team. I don't know if they're. white yet a Super Bowl caliber team. That's just my opinion. They need to get that defense better. You know what I mean? Because like if it wasn't for Detroit beating themselves last night, Detroit would have won that game. But Detroit was not stopping them like at all. They were driving down the field like almost every time like what? Like what are you gonna do about it? What are you gonna do about it?
01:25:08
Speaker
Dan Campbell forgot his big balls at home yesterday. Apparently, and the commanders didn't, they was like, how many four downs they go for? Well, like four. Yeah. You know, it was just like, Hey, this is what we're doing. It's like every time you turn around, they were going for it. Oh, yeah they were picking better. really I think they made one them and think they were batting a thousand on four downs last night. I can tell you. and I don't remember, but I feel like they made it all of them.
01:25:38
Speaker
one of them might've been a flag or something though.
01:25:44
Speaker
Oh, they don't have, uh, they don't have them stats. Fourth down conversions. Yeah, man. I just want to say shout out to us. We do ah Washington went three for four on fourth down efficiency. Uh, two for two. I will say, uh,
01:26:08
Speaker
Shout out to my guy, rookie out of the University of Michigan. Mikey Sandstro, number zero on the field, number one in our hearts but with his two picks last night. Absolute beast out of, out of The deciding factor in the, in the commander's lions game yesterday was the fact that the commanders had zero turnovers. The lions had five and Washington converted points on one of them. Yeah. they and Statistically, Washington was out rushed. They were out passed. They were out played in yards per play. They were out played in total yards, like playing. So they were out done in first downs. They were out done in.
01:27:02
Speaker
And third down efficiency, like they were outdone in every single thing. And they still managed to win. and and ah And another big difference maker right there towards the end of the game too was that bad face mask call. So penalties, the Rams went five for 30, Washington went four for 25. Yeah.
01:27:25
Speaker
And like I said, that was like a kind of like a momentum changer because they like they were trying to like, you know, get it and like, all right, we're going to drive down here and get this going. They had a little something like just moving a little bit. And then bam, ah your boy ran. It was a good play. and ah But they called them for that face mask. And then like you could clearly see, I don't understand why they can't tell you. They're like, well, the way the rules are set up right now.
01:27:49
Speaker
I'm like the way the rules the rules are set up so we could see an instant replay right this second and everybody can tell that it's not a face mask. You're not going to change it. That's the rules. Yeah. But anyway, so that didn't help either. But you know.
01:28:06
Speaker
ah Yeah, I mean it did to the day. You know, let's you know, let's be honest. The officiating across the board stocks in the NFL. However, yeah, and some and.
01:28:19
Speaker
And, and you know what, I will argue though, one thing though, for the officials too, though, they changed stuff so much, especially over like the last 10 years with the rules and what the subtleties are of what is and isn't certain, you know, flags that is like, you know, how do you keep a consistency? Well, you know, when you're just changing the bar all the time.
01:28:42
Speaker
But still, I know that it's just turned into an entertainment game and they basically do whatever they need to do.
NFL Betting Strategies & Super Bowl Squares
01:28:48
Speaker
I'm sure the ref's got an earpiece in. And they're like, all right, hey, listen, man, you need to find a way to that they make this first down, okay? On this drive, they score on this drive one way or the other, you got me? Yeah, you gotta gotta make it happen. well and i think it's I think that's what it came down to with that call for you know Breathing in, Patrick, my home's general direction and the defenders didn't even touch him except when they hit the ground, like, you know, they, they went and they collided helmet to helmet with each other. You know, it's like, no, we got to get them in the end zone. theri We were talking about the rep. We were talking about the rest, you know, should be chewed out, right? um I'm sure they are getting chewed out because they're getting caught on tape.
01:29:36
Speaker
with what they're supposed to be better at. You know what I mean? Like they're supposed to be doing it, but they're like, they're getting chewed out because they're like, Hey man, you're making it obvious. well then yeah And that's the thing when, when, when you're, when, when you've reached a point where the analysis team, the commentators that are calling the game are calling you out on your BS, like Well, like, you know, you're messing up now. You know, what it's running up you know what it's almost like. It's almost like political. It's almost like what just happened recently. Like with the, the stuff with Kamala and everything and everybody was like, you know what I mean? Like, it was you know, you got certain people that just don't care and they're just going to do this regardless. And everybody, a lot of, you know, most of the country was seeing things differently. yeah And like, even though you're being lied to,
01:30:29
Speaker
You're just accepting it. It's like, how do you not see the lie? you know the wreck you know A lot of us are like, how do you not see the lies and what's going on? It's the same thing like with the cheese. It's like, we're sitting there going, how do you not see it? What's going on? Yeah. And like you got people just accepting it.
01:30:50
Speaker
Rams for a teddy, Tyler Igby. Yep. Damn it, guys. Now I know what's about to happen. You know a future teller. You're a fortune teller. I should have y'all in an earpiece and I should be sitting here making parlays with somebody that's at my house. I'm like, man, I bet Tyler Higby gets this touchdown right now. Bet me a hundred. Hey, I'm not saying that, you know, we can make a little profit off of it. Right. All right. I'll cut y'all in. Yeah. Give us a percentage. That's funny. Yeah. Got to his teamwork. Yeah. Okay. Here's what's going to add on him.
01:31:34
Speaker
I will shoot, man. I'm going to get off and go watch this football. And, uh, I appreciate you guys coming up. I know we had a late start today. That's all agree well the games were starting late too, though. Yeah. Um, that's, that's on me. Um, uh, like I said, we were, we took a spontaneous road trip this weekend and, uh, uh, we were on the road and I was going to try to do it from the road and I knew Derek was running a little late. It was like,
01:32:04
Speaker
Oh, you're rolling in my street. Cause I wasn't, it was up in the air last night when we were talking. I didn't know, but, uh, we made it happen. We had a good conversation. I'm looking forward to seeing these games today coming back next week. We'll be able to talk, uh, talk about these games that are happening and we'll have our, uh, our NFC and AFC, uh, championships picked and maybe throw our, uh,
01:32:27
Speaker
Well, with that, when we make those picks, we'll be making our prediction for the Super Bowl. So man, I got a question. How many people, cause I know, uh, you got so many people that you do like that do all these different shows throughout the week. I wonder how many there's three of us and you got like cam Brian says five. And then how many other people, you know, cause have you ever done a squares?
01:32:53
Speaker
Well, I think so. You ever played squares like ah in the game where you got 10 squares this way, 10 going this way and it makes up a hundred squares. Oh, you're talking like a Superbowl squares. Yeah. You ever play that and then you buy either $5 or $10 or whatever a square.
01:33:09
Speaker
And then people buy, however many they want. And then you draw numbers for the numbers that go across, you put each team. Yeah. And if the score is like seven to three, whoever's on that square, whoever has that in number at the end of that period wins, you know, that quarter of the money.
01:33:24
Speaker
You know, and the I've done, I've done a square game. i've I've been a part of one twice and I fucking hate him. Oh yeah, man. i I do it like every year with a a friend was bunch of people I know, but this one guy he like is like the host and, uh, and we do it. I love it, man. Cause you could, you could buy one um square for $10. Like we usually do $10 and you can win $500. Yeah.
01:33:54
Speaker
always remember like quarters halfs and and Yeah. I don't think I've ever done that before. You'll see it all over your Facebook. Have you got any friends who've been on sports? Well, that's why I was asking her because I was like, well, how many people could we get together to actually fill up all the squares? That's the tough part is getting the board filled. Yeah.
01:34:16
Speaker
I don't know cams MIA these days because it's a, it's a hundred squares and usually people will buy five to 10, you know, depending on how much they cost. But anyway, just a thought. Right. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. I mean, we can always do $5 squares and then it's 500 bucks and it's 125 per quarter and it's first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, and then final score. You know what I mean?
01:34:40
Speaker
Yep. So if you dominated it out, you know, so you could buy one square for five bucks. Yeah. And when $125, you could win all four quarters or might not win nothing. You could also spend $50 and buy 10 squares and win nothing.
01:34:53
Speaker
yeah go be my luck never be my look and But I mean, somebody's going to do that. Like it always happened, but it's, I think it's kind of fun, you know, yeah I've never, I've, I've seen them. I've just, I've never, I've never done them. Cause it's one of those things where it's like,
01:35:08
Speaker
I'm not a hundred percent sure what's happening and what's going on here. So all it's best if I just keep my, keep my nose out of it. the The thing that's fun about it for me is that you're sitting there and the quarters coming to the end, you're looking at your numbers and you're going, okay, if they get a safety and then they go down the field you know and kick this, I can win this court. You know what I mean? You're doing stuff
College Football Rivalries & Coaching Prospects
01:35:32
Speaker
like that. Like if they stop them right here and block the field goal, I win this quarter. So it's just kind of fun.
01:35:39
Speaker
Yeah. Hmm. something i might be, ah I don't know if it'd be too late to try to do something like that or not, but it's definitely a last man. It's just for one game. And we just usually do it on the Superbowl and just the Superbowl game. And that's it. Yep. That's why I've seen it done. I just saw a bunch of them start popping up on my Facebook bunch of people. I know we're doing them or like Peyton's old softball team did them one year square super wall squares.
01:36:07
Speaker
and don't remember I don't think so. Or disgusting at least. So, but. Alright, guys. Could be interesting. I'm going to say today, go Rams, go Bills, and of course, for tomorrow, go Buckeyes.
01:36:27
Speaker
Let's go Notre Dame. Go home, Notre Dame. What are they though? The Fighting Irish or something? I don't know what the hell they are. I've never. made angry libercans I have never, ever, ever in my life. Rooted for Notre Dame until tomorrow. oh Yes. Yeah. Got a sock guy. Yeah. Yeah. I have no idea when he won't be mad because it'll be a natty in the B1G. Yeah. Yeah. mean That's you know, like like I told you before, you know, I I'm not going to talk like.
01:37:08
Speaker
Yeah, I'm not necessarily rooting against Ohio State as much as I'm rooting against the fan base because much like Philly, the majority, and I say the majority because I know this to be true because I live where I live, the majority, not all, but the majority of Ohio State fans are just fucking scumbags. And if if there was an apocalypse where we took all the Buckeye fans and Alabama fans like off the planet tomorrow, we would live in a better world.
01:37:39
Speaker
You're a mess, bro. You're a mess. Not all Buckeye fans. They're all God's people, OK? Well, he can have them, according to the collect. He can have them. Take them to the promised land. Take them all now, please. Take them all, God. You can have your people. We don't want them out of here no more. That's where Brooke stands on that.
01:38:02
Speaker
No, not all of them, because there are, there are, I do have friends that are state fans, Rick, you're one of whom Connors, one of them. I have a few other buddies that are our state fans that we can talk football and have a good conversation and and bus balls and stuff like that. But unfortunately the majority of them ah don't know the difference between a soccer goal and a field goal. yeah And they're only Ohio state fans because they're from Ohio, but then they want to yell and scream at somebody for not being a Buckeye fan for being from Ohio.
01:38:31
Speaker
And then when you ask them who their favorite NFL team is, they're like, what about dolls, Cowboys fans? They, you're from, you're from Ohio. that's america yeah You have to be ah a Cleveland or a bagels fan, according to your logic. Well, well, I'm American. So I can be a fan of America's team. Yeah. No, because Ohio is American Mark America, baby. We're the heart of it all up here.
01:38:57
Speaker
but that yeah no man Tomorrow night's game should be good. We got some good games on tap for today. Shout out to the NCAA on a successful 12 team playoff system that I think most fans have been wanting for a very long time.
01:39:12
Speaker
I know I'm one of them. Um, I think the guys here on this panel are also ones that have been wanting a legit playoff system. Yeah, it's got some kinks. It's got some bugs to work out, but, uh, I'm excited for the 12 team playoffs tonight. I think it was successful this year. I thought it was cool. Um, so with that being said, we do appreciate y'all listening. Appreciate y'all hanging out. Rick, appreciate you guys. Uh, we'll be back next Sunday. Hopefully our regular time.
01:39:40

So because I'm the only one with a dog left in the bite. Yeah, that's true. That's true. And let's you adopt a phrase from us Clevelanders.
01:40:06
Speaker
There's always next year. and i'll Bro, yeah, I've already. Yeah, we've definitely already adopted. i mean the bill had that one for years We thought that we were past it, but we got right back to it.
