Welcome. Welcome to the live show. I want to get right to it. I want to get to the biggest trending topic in sports transpired over the weekend. I was there in person. John Cena submitted. It was fucking wild, man. For real, man. It was crazy. WWE was nice enough to reach out. We had a fantastic time, by the way, and say, hey, we heard you rant about how your kids said that John Cena could possibly beat you up and you know i had a moment where i almost explained the whole deal to him you know um and i didn't i use my better judgment because he likes wrestling and uh no i think john seen is a hell of an athlete and a legend in the game but the whole thing i was saying was like you can't just write your dad off in this fucking matchup like i played a contact sport as well

and uh w o w e heard my rant and was like yo you want to come watch john senna's last match and i'm like you're got right i want to watch john seen his last match uh so i drove up with my wife and kids last night dc and you know the way people describe the magic wrestling it's it's it's real life magic man it is like you you get in that place and i don't you know i haven't followed as much as as uh as like a middle age man but uh you know i'm into it dude you know i'm into the uh the whole thing and my kids are going nuts like my seven year old was out for blood it was crazy the things he was yelling at that at that ring man it was crazy it was nuts but yeah john seen it submitted and you get this fucking austrian guy who um he's you know he's

got arms down to his knees the guy's like just a freak show it looks like a power forward um that did gear and he's obviously the heel but nobody like i'm listening to people talk about it in the concourse while i'm up there trying to get like you know a beer or something and i'm hearing people like do you think do you think he's going to get him to submit do you think this is going to happen i'm like you know how do you think sena's going to wrestle tonight i'm like well however they told him to wrestle you know you know gunther yeah but nobody thought Sina was going to lose this match and it was just crazy that this character is now like the face of wrestling

I guess they're putting the turbo boosters on this guy's storyline Gunther from Austria man also another thing about wrestling right now is when I was growing up it looked like all the guys were on gear now that was that that's been confirmed since and I don't think all the guys are on gear anymore you know, which is kind of cool. You can kind of roll up and, you know, you feel like maybe I could do it, you know.

100 pushups of the day for 30 days. A couple shots of tort all. I get in the ring. I really enjoyed my time there. That was awesome. And I'll tell you more about it tomorrow. Well, I do want to say this, though. Sina tapping out kind of confirms what I was telling my son,

which is that I could probably take him. so i know it was probably not a and people were shocked in there dude people were oh it was insane bro like people were it was dead quiet there were you know like when a football team wins on the road on like a last second field goal or something and the home team's really not supposed to lose and you hear like all you can hear is the team celebrating and then like one lady in the stands who just lets out a blood curdling scream out of nowhere you know like right as the ball goes through the uprights or whatever um it was kind of like that it was not man people were in shocked but just the first class experience w w w is the shit it was awesome it was awesome

my kids had so much fun i know i'm not coming back somebody said i'm old as fuck i'm not going into wrestling dude i'm not i'm not a wrestler some of the some of the ways they hit that mat doesn't look too good to me so uh we'll get to the nfl here i will talk about um you know these games today. I think, you know, we had like two heavyweight fights here, and I'm starting with five minutes of wrestling. I apologize. It was just that kind of night. But the first game of the day that everybody was like kind of paying attention to was New England and Buffalo. And coming to the game, I thought Buffalo would win this game because I thought they played poorly in the first game. You know, I know they weren't the only team making mistakes on the field that the first time this team these teams played. But, you know, turnover certainly. had a factor in the game and i feel like down milton williams that's a big deal for the patriots it really is and i think that played out in this game now you know this game starts out and it's 21 to nothing right and this morning the new stadium unless this was a i or some like clickbait bullshit was on fire did you see this the new high mark stadium was like there was a yeah it was

on fire bro new stadium on fire you're down 21 nothing kind of sure does feel like the passing of the torts that everybody's been talking about, but I just don't think it's that simple. I think the Patriots are a very good football team. I think I do think they're contending football team. I think the quarterback has played himself into the MVP conversation. But I just think the bills have been there a little bit more. And, you know, in a game where the rain's coming down, the snow's coming down,

it was pissing rain. You know, that was like how I would define rain coming down as piss. And there's a couple different kinds of rain, you know. You get your big rain drops. You get your, you know, your summer thunderstorm rain drops. And then you get your like December. I can't decide if it's snow or it's rain. That's when it's just pissing.

And it was pissing all day. And I think that really makes the ball tough to, you know, and here I go down. How do I land this plane without saying. Pause that. I think it makes everything harder to handle out there. And in a game like that, you know, I can't speak for Drake May. I think he's a great quarterback, but, you know, like he doesn't have a long resume of cold weather, inclement weather games under his belt yet as a pro football player. He will playing in that division.

But I think the bills have been there and Josh Allen's been there. And, you know, it was easy when they got down to say, well, shit, it's over. But one of the reasons I still felt good about it was number, number one, that graphic they showed. at one point in the second quarter, I think it was, where, you know, the Patriots are one of the best first half teams in the league. The bills are one of the best second half teams in the league. And we've seen as recently as last week, you know, flurries of scoring, no pun intended, where, you know, they're down a couple scores and they can eat that gap up. You know, they can really, Jesus, they can.

It's unreal today. They can really, I mean, I got to start over. fucking live TV. I've lost it, dude. They can really close the distance. You know, it's like the Warriors in their heyday. And this, I'm not comparing their offense to the Warriors because, you know, part of the reason that they're so inconsistent is because they simply don't have the people

outside to make everybody respect you. You know, they can't always win outside. You know, they have to win unconventionally, you know, quarterback run game, Josh's heroics, you know, getting the ball to the back in the passing game, getting the ball of the tight ends. That's kind of how they're built, and obviously the run game. You know, it's just one of those things, though,

where they can eat up space really quickly and no lead is necessarily safe, unless you're like the Texans or something like that. And I don't think New England, especially being down Milton Williams in this game and Spillane as well. I mean, that Spillane injury really matters, and that's where you're trying to operate

for much of the game if you're the bills. You know, so much of what you do is based on, you know, how the backs perform, how your tight ends perform, play action. You know, you think about latent downs or I always talk about how Josh, you know, he's pulling defenders up to the line of scrimmage. He's manipulating eyes. Well, when you're down one of your better players, that matters. And Milton Williams in the run game as well. And I thought as much as he got hit and hurried and that sort of thing, like he had time to operate. and so when you looked at at the beginning of the game

I think the very first play of the game he goes to Cook um no to cooks and uh now we've got multiple cooks he goes to cooks and you know it's a 30 yard game if you just catch the ball and I also didn't like the way they took a couple shots at him um he just got there that's not really his forte

but like on that first play they they drew it up beautifully um it's a man beater and you know he beats man and he bibles the ball. He's playing volleyball with the ball on the sideline. So that kind of kills the first drive. Obviously, it's not the only play because I think Josh had the tight end right after that. Another man coverage snap where he just misses. So, you know, early on, I think it's just execution for them.

You know, I'm kind of watching them and I'm saying like, and the reason I don't think they panicked is because they know they can come back in a hurry. And also because even on defense, as bad as they were at times, and I'm not trying to say this defense doesn't scare the shit out of me, but at a certain point in the game, you're looking up and you're saying, all right, we got to stop. I can hear it now as a former defensive player. Sean's on the sideline saying, hey, we'll be fine.

We got to get the quarterback down when he runs, right? Multiple instances of that. And then, you know, we got to stop the big play. We got to stop the big runs. The Henderson runs, you know, and they're not the only team that has to contend with that guy's speed. but those are the things that kill you. Make them earn it. And as they did that more, as the game went on in the second half,

improved a great deal, Drake May was not his best. And he's a young player. Like I said, he deserves all the praise he's gotten this year. I'm a big fan of his. But, you know, I thought he was outplayed today. And that's okay. Because I think the guy on the other sideline is the best quarterback on the planet. I do.

I pop my head out in big moments and like to remind people, people I do feel that way. And I don't think that's insane to say because when you're looking at the people that have been doing it the most consistently in the game, his consistency has has proven out this year relative to the other guys. I mean, obviously today we've got a Mahomes injury to talk about, but he was not playing his best. I think Stafford's playing in an otherworldly level. I think Drake May is in the conversation this year, but it's just it's this year. Lamar has been up and down. Joe's, Joe hadn't been in the playoffs for a couple years. So, you know, I just think it's almost like a default thing where it's like, and Drake said it leading into the game. And obviously,

he's not going to say I am. And certainly this year he could make a case for that. But, you know, he said, hey, that's the best quarterback in the league on the other sideline. And so I think in a game like this, the, you know, in cold weather situations, especially when, you know, they're not, things aren't perfect outside for the bills. He just makes so many plays. with his legs extending plays. That third down in the red zone, and there were so many lead changes at certain points in the game, I'm forgetting,

but which score it was, but here I'll find it real quick. Yeah. Yeah, this is after the past interference, which I understand if you didn't love it. The guy didn't get his head around. I don't know how they said that Shakir caught the football. That to me is crazy.

But, you know, like when guys don't get their heads around, like they kind of pull that flag so you know after that call and i i definitely didn't like the other PI but i also didn't like the boutet completion call on the first drive of the game that's another thing early in this game where you're like all right as you justify if you're on the bill's side if you're a bill's player or coach you say hey dude we're this close coaches love to do this if we could just do this and i said this with the qb run game you know if if we're off the field on third and seven right um the patriots are so good at being on schedule offensively.

And for much of the game, they were. I mean, they really are. Like, I really admire the way they work things with this young quarterback without a full toolkit outside on early downs. They always try to make sure that they're on schedule, and they were for the most part. But in the second half, you kind of feel that pressure amount. Because at one point, you know, the bills are down 21-0.

Second quarter, they get the ball. They've got a chance to go in and get the two for one. They leave too much time, predictably. for Drake May in the offense and they end up down 24 to 7 but even in that scenario the bill scored so quickly out of the half and it felt like to me in this game i you know i i kind of put myself in these positions as a player like what what's it like in that locker room um i would imagine somebody in that locker room hopefully is saying hey motherfucker somebody's got to go out there remind these guys that we've been waiting in line for five years you know like we we we were here in line

first, right? Like, they just showed up this year and cut us. It don't work that way, which, you know, it does work that way if you take it, if you go take it, which they seem to be doing with the division. But even if they win the division, it was important for Buffalo to win this game and to send a message and say, hey, we weren't, we weren't our best when we played in week three or whatever it was. And if we see in the playoffs, we already beat you here. We can do it again. And I do think, you know, when Milton comes back, they'll be better defensively. I think Spillane, if he's on the field, they'll be better. But the bills are missing guys as well.

You know, I heard somebody this week say, the bills don't have any, you know, elite defensive players. I think they're one elite defensive player was out of the game. And that's Christian Benford. So, you know, it's just a team win for them. Obviously, you get big reps in the, in the kick return game, start the second half off really well with that thing. But the thing I was going to say was that third and 15,

the Patriots are going to be kicking themselves when they look at that play because you have a rare chance to get the bills off the field kicking a field goal at that point in the game. And Landry takes an up and under on third and 15. The Red Zone is third and 15. It's third in goal. He takes the up and under. There's no wrapper. That's the quarterback's throwing hand.

And, you know, for me, that's the backbreaking play. you know Josh scamper's in for a touchdown you're all like hey flag on the field we're going to be fine there's no way in the red zone it's so hard and they've been four for four whatever they were at that point three for three and that was kind of the story of the game with the Patriots not being as good a red zone defense as they are out in the field and the bills were surgical when they got in the red zone and the one time they weren't in this game in the second half where they get the damn touchdown call back because of a hold you back them up and you run double slant on the left side of your defensive line. And to me, that that's the moment you could have got out of trouble. But the bills went out and earned it beyond that. And I also thought they came out of the damn half. And, you know, guys like, you know, Osiris Torrance blocking his ass off in the run game. You know, we knew that the run game was going to factor.

And for them, and this is the thing I like about the bills when they get in these situations, they don't abandon the run game. They run the ball. They play with tempo. They play with intention. And they did that. And they ran behind big Osiris Torrance out of the half. Keon Coleman, he might not, you might not love what he does outside, you know, with the ball in his hands. You know, he's been a disappointment in that right. But, you know, I love the way he blocked on some of those reps in the second half. And so, you know, everybody was bought in today for the bills and the Patriots will be fine they will they're very good team very good team and they're a young team dude you know they they really they've set the table nicely you know for culture i heard somebody

today coin it like culture it's the you know the meeting of like culture and scheme like they have both things down you've got the head coach you've got the OC um and they've got some good players too they lost a good football team and when you look at the a fc right now, you know, and by the way, this Minnesota game has started. We're hoping for points. J.J. McCarthy just volleyballed his own pass into the air, picked off by Quinn and Williams, he's laughing. He's like, man, that's not my fault. Anyways, I'm not going to play by play that game. But I thought May had some misses late in the game where it's like, hey, if you're If you were, if you were getting ready to, hey, 21-0, I'm pretty sure Pat's fans were getting ready to say,

hey, we're back, which you are, and we got the best quarterback in the division. But through the game, as it went on, I think Josh and the bills reminded them that, hey, we've been waiting in line a long fucking time. We were here first.

And I think for Houston, you know, they've also got some offensive line guys. filling in depending on the health of that unit when you get into the into the playoffs there are

matchups that you know as I look at them and you compare them to like Denver who to me and we'll talk about that in a second just one the most big boy that was a big boy victory right there and the past just got done winning 10 in a row so I'm not trying to like choose sides here based on recency bias but the way the the Broncos look today and yeah I I think the way the Pats looked at times today. I think the youth of the Patriots team, you know, and also some vulnerabilities that, like, we, you know, when you come into a season, you say,

hey, the Pats aren't supposed to win damn 13 games, 14 games, because we think X, Y, Z about the roster. And, you know, they have maximized their opportunities, but at some point that, you know, they play Houston in the playoffs or something like that. I think last week that was how it was drawn, up if it ended last week. They said, hey, Pat's in Houston.

Play that one out. I don't think there's any easy football games for the Pats and the AFC. And so, you know, one of the teams that they might have to see at some point would be Denver. Denver looked really good today, really good today. And listen, I picked Green Bay coming to this game. And at one point in the game, I felt like all the reasons I took them were kind of coming to fruition.

I thought they were running the ball well. I thought Jordan Love looked fantastic. You know, he had just thrown a dime off his back foot, and I think I turned to the guys. I'm like, damn, this looks like that Super Bowl team, doesn't it? And as soon as those things kind of happened, it was that kind of day in football. You lose Christian Watson,

and the whole game flips on its head. That play by PS was PS2. was he's such an unbelievable football player. And that play to me was like a DPOI kind of play. The ball skills, the explosiveness, like to just kind of, I mean, that's another big explosive athlete. He didn't have a shot at the catch point there. And, you know, not only making the play flipping the game from that standpoint,

but the unfortunate circumstance of landing on Christian Watson. and, you know, I don't know what the injury is, but he said chest, like elbow, like, I don't know. But damn, dude, did Green Bay look different after he left the game? They look totally different. And I'm not making excuses for the guys because I think Denver won that think fair and square and their quarterback, Bo Nix, was fantastic. That guy was, he did a great job today. The way he played today with one caveat.

I know what you're going to say you can never give him his credit he was great a couple plays he wasn't great Green Bay didn't make him pay the couple plays that Jordan Love wasn't great Denver made them pay you know and that's that's a credit

Denver right because you know they made the optional plays right they made the the plays on the ball that you know Green Bay was fumbling over tip balls and that sort of thing Valentine dropping a pick

you know when Denver got there opportunities they made them and uh i think the way this defense closed the game out the way bow nicks threw the ball today i thought he threw the ball as well as almost anybody in the league today considering the spot i mean he was he was fabulous um and i really like the guy cowboy really coming around on bo necks later than than people who root for the denver broncos but who else you know, who isn't late on bonex, man, if we're, you know, he has been up and down and that sort of thing,

but I think, you know, they're such an adult football team with that, with that head coach. Now, we are almost talking about, and we are lucky we're not talking about the decision to hand the ball to your fullback on fourth and short. I understand the, you know,

the inclination to go for it. But if you're going to do that, and maybe this isn't a perfect, you know, Well, what if you're going to do that, why don't you go for two? If you're that risk adverse, why don't you line up and go for two and not kick to make it an eight-point game? Why don't you line up and go for two and you can put this thing like out of reach? You can be up nine and not have to deal with this shit. Instead, you push all the poker chips to the middle of field and you hand the ball to your fullback in a game where RJ Harvey is out of the game.

So, you know, I have questions about Denver going forward with the injury. If RJ's out for a little bit, it could just be minor. But they look about as good as anybody, man. If they play like that, if Bow Nix plays like that, that's unbelievable, how good they played. The atmosphere in that game was off the chain. You talk about Super Bowl energy? I thought Buffalo and New England was a good football game. but it's two quarterbacks that are just out of this world and one played like okay right and the other one kind of took over as the game went on Denver and Green Bay when both teams were at full strength to start the game the quality of the rosters like out on the field was just like oh yeah you know and the sun was going down in Denver it felt like it felt like a playoff game and there was a point at one point

where they come out of the commercial in the second half and you got that Broncos mascot up there like 200 feet in the air with the pirate techniques. Miles going nuts, man. Like he's just cranking the pirate techniques. Cranking the pirate techniques. Do you have any Christmas, man? Yeah, dude.

He was up there hyped and they had him uplift. and I'm thinking to myself, damn, like, this is a moment for the Packers, man. If the Packers want to go where they want to go, like, this is a big drive. And I kept saying, like, this is a big opportunity, big drive. They kept coming up empty because of the injuries. And I think the injury to Michael Parsons is, it's not fatal. But Christian and Micah, like, if Christians out for the season or something like that, and Micah, obviously, from what it looked like, it was terrible.

Like, I do have a hard, I think they can win playoff games, but I have a hard time, you know, I have a harder time thinking they're going to go distance, man. You know, like the Micah thing exposes, I'm not calling their defense a house of cards, but I am saying you will see why he was so important and why going out and getting the guy was so important. if you if you doubted it you will see going forward because they do not win rushes outside of him they just don't i think anigbarae is a hell of a rusher for what he's asked to do who you expect him to be i think rachan garry's really got to step up um although i think he you know he if you if you're not looking for rachan gary to be laurence taylor you know like you're you're pretty happy with the disruption he's not

going to always get the numbers but i need van s to step up you know the guys inside have to step up man and i think half he's got to get in his bag you know um you kind of maybe the other guys feel like hey now we can focus on winning we've been spending a lot of time lining up and maybe at times disadvantageous alignments and that sort of thing because we're setting the table for mica maybe the guys are like well fuck now we line up put our hands up in the ground and go we're not trying to dictate protection the whole game we're trying to fancy up a four-man rush but i have my doubts man because they just don't get a lot of pressure outside of him and so uh if you are the eagles who they got a long way to go right you beat we we beat up on the

the raiders today right and i want to i want to sink into that tape and we'll talk about it tomorrow I'll tell you what worked, what didn't. You know, I can't give you a real authoritative take on the Eagles offense, watching Bills and Pat's very closely along with the other four games. I'll talk about it tomorrow. But if you're the Eagles, you kind of feel like, hey, if we can get our shit together, the Rams, who, that's another game, I will talk to you more about tomorrow. The Rams might have lost Devonti Adams for a little bit.

Like, I don't know what's going on with that hamstring. I looked bad. He was cruising at that time. And you've got Green Bay's lost Micah, lost Christian Watson. They've lost Tucker Kraft. These are tough injuries to overcome for the other teams in the NFC. And, you know, if you're in the AFC, the chiefs were probably on their way out the door.

and nobody likes to see Patrick Mahomes get hurt but he's hurt and so it's over for them and you know like it's uh it's gonna look different in the playoffs it really fucking is dude it's gonna look different in the playoffs and i'm excited because it feels like no matter who you are you feel like you have a chance hell the indianapolis colts today lined up in that stadium and almost beat the Seattle Seahogs with my man, Philip Rivers playing. And there were moments in the pregame warmups that people were telling me he looked more like a coach than a player. And it was true. Like my man, his workouts leading up to this whole thing, I'm pretty sure consisted of playing a fuck ton of catch.

And that's okay because he proved today that he can compete at this level, four or five years later in this offense, which I think is a testament to, and I know they didn't light it up, but if you thought this game was going to be 44 to nothing, you had another thing coming because it kind of came down to a kick. It came down to two kicks. And so I really look forward to getting through that game as well.

But just an unbelievable thing, if you ever wonder what you would look like, if you were teleported onto an NFL field as a fan of the game, you might look like Philip Rivers physically but can you do what he did can you fall on your ass and look like a regular person but then get back up and scramble for like four yards can you do that i don't know if you can i don't know if you can throw that back shoulder fade on third and seven in the fourth quarter in front of 70,000 12s i don't know if you can and you know what else I saw some like commentary this week

and like if you don't think it's going to work that's fine I don't necessarily think it's going to work what is working when in the division like contending for a Super Bowl that ain't going to happen I don't think with Philip Rivers at the helmet 44 years old but to say he didn't deserve a shot

or like this was like you know I just I don't think you realize how much of it is being being in control of the offense and just understanding timing of the NFL, even if you haven't been out. You see how, like, he hadn't been on a field in four years. Some guys have played enough football and continue to coach football and are coaching football teams that might be running the exact same system as Shane Steichen.

It kind of makes sense that he could score 13 points or whatever it was in an NFL game. It's impressive as fuck. It's impressive as fuck. I know some people might come away from that game and be like, Philip River sucks. I'm like, what did you expect, bro? They competed and had a chance to win that football game.

And he looked like he had, he looked like he had a, you know, when they released the canine, the police officers, they released the dogs in training. And there's people who have the, the unfortunate job of,

like, putting that suit on and getting run down by the, and German Shepherd. That's kind of what he looked like he had one of those suits on, right? And he managed to get out of an NFL game without hurting himself, I mean, he got smoked a couple times for sure. He got smoked a couple times, but he still got up just like he did four or five years

ago. He still was kind of jawing like he did four or five years ago. Like I loved it. I love seeing it. So, yeah, like say if you're outraged about Philip Rivers coming back, then you don't like fun because this isn't like when Jeff Saturday got the job and it was like kind of a disservice to a lot of people that were that were working their tails off and that sort of thing that's Philip fucking Rivers Jeff Saturday had never coached in the NFL and I love Jeff Saturday is one of

my favorite people to watch on TV leader of men consummate professional Philip Rivers he couldn't run away from anybody when he played right so it makes a lot of sense that he gets an opportunity as wacky as it seems to you maybe. I mean, it's a lot different than pulling Jeff Saturday off, you know, high school field to coach pro football. I just didn't like,

listen, we can all laugh and have fun with it and be like, yeah, this is going to be fucking crazy. I don't think it works. But, you know, you know, to be outraged over it,

I don't know about that. There's a lot of bad quarterbacks out there, man. a lot of bad quarterbacks out there. So anyways. Yeah, Darno was clutch in the last 42 seconds. I want to see that. I want to look back. Somebody said this wasn't impressive.

Cam Newton and Brady would have done better. Even Eli could have done better. Oh, you just named like three very, very, very good NFL quarterbacks. Also, I don't think Cam would have done better. I'm sorry. And like to the point of like, why wouldn't they call me? Like, I don't know if, I don't know if he didn't know that they're running the exact same system. Like, you know, it's kind of a system thing.

Anyways, browns beat the brakes off, you know, or the Bears beat the breaks off the Browns. I want to see that game. Haven't seen that game. Let's see. Anything else? any other trending topics you guys want me to tell me to hit trending topics you know kenny picket scored zero points but kenny picket got mob by his former teammates after the game dude that is a well-liked person so you know he might have lost the game and that sucks for him but he's well-liked and that's

at the end of the day that's what matters dude you know if you got a teammate that goes to the hall Fame and he's just a giant douchebag, you know, you will always like, when your friends texting, they're like, yeah, that guy's going to the hall of fame and be like, yeah, he's such a doucheback, but cool, he's going to the hall of fame. Whenever Kenny Pickett enters a room and one of his former teammates are there, they love him. That's a winner, dude. Good for Kenny Pickett. Miles Garrett. Oh, yeah, yeah. If it takes Miles Garrett 17 games to break the record, what are your thoughts? This is an extra game. I think that should just be considered.

I don't know. Like, it's the record, but you do have more games. Now, if he breaks it before then, it's all his. Did I talk cheese? No, because I did not see the game. It's kind of a look into my world, right? Watching about six, seven games at a time, drinking a green juice. All right.

Let's see. Somebody said, are you talking about Ben Rothosberger? He was a douche. No, I'm not talking about anybody in particular. I'm just saying, like, you know, it's good to be liked. You know, please explain how the Bengals get shut out in a football game. I can't. I can only watch four games in detail at a time, probably four, five.

I'll tell you tomorrow. Oh, oh, I got to tell you all something. Live stream tomorrow. 345. Now, y'all got to bear with me on this thing. I tried to explain on the podcast, but I kept fumbling over it. I think we use the extra time.

I think it's a really hard show to organize. I think most of you all know if you compare our shows to other shows, like we probably talk in a little bit more detail about the games, and to do that to the best of our ability and to serve all of you fans without having to be like, yo, you know, we can't talk about your team at all because we ran out of time.

We want to have the time to do that. So 345. Show is it to 345. I don't even know what y'all are doing most of the time. Are y'all at work or what's going on with that? Chris, who do I have in the playoffs? Pat's versus Bills, assuming both teams are healthy. I'm always going to I don't know that there's a team in the aFC that I don't think the bills can beat and I'm not riding the wave that's kind of my company line so yeah not saying they will but the nice thing about the a

fc this year is if you're a bills fan like look around everybody's beatable um although the broncos are fucking nasty and I feel like they could probably cover down outside and make things very awkward for for josh then the defense has to play well but if bone knicks plays like that cowboy everybody's fucked everybody's fucked all right um oh respect trevor lawrence fuck yeah the last couple weeks i respect the hell to trevor lawrence he's balling dude he's shit all over the jets today you know stream's gonna help mellow with the dot what's up dude stream's gonna open with fax's longest duval of all time yeah he's gonna be like why don't why did you you guys are hating why didn't you why don't we open the show with the jags you know um yeah so that that's that's that you all um

y'all take care we'll see you tomorrow to uh 345 not 2 o'clock 345
