0:34

bud bud? Excellent, Jim was out

0:36

in California and and was around so

0:38

we we had a wonderful, wonderful

0:40

time and back home to

0:42

see the Sunday Sunday so all

0:44

is good. is good. Now we've

0:46

got got week 18, a a nothing

0:49

burger. It's a a total nothing

0:51

burger until Sunday night. You know,

0:53

I... You know, I and then it's

0:55

for all the burgers. Yeah. yeah. You know

0:57

know what, Jim? I'll tell you what

0:59

I love about the Sunday night night game.

1:01

What I think is so

1:03

incredibly interesting about it

1:06

is, about we really think? think

1:08

that Detroit for the last

1:10

two months. months? Didn't we

1:12

just we just seed CEDE,

1:14

-D -E the one

1:16

seed, to to Detroit.

1:18

And to me, I to me

1:22

I just really really think

1:24

more than anything else. that

1:26

that this shows why the The

1:28

NFL to me is so much fun. fun.

1:31

Because, you know, all along We

1:33

gave Detroit the number

1:36

one one and now now going

1:38

to play to their toughest game

1:40

of the year, which is

1:42

saying something, is saying something because they

1:44

in an incredibly

1:46

tough game. game. the way

1:48

the Minnesota Vikings are playing right

1:50

now. playing Can you believe it?

1:53

And the upshot of this is Jim. of

1:55

this is Jim sure is, you

1:57

know, you know, on on

1:59

most mind. but it really

2:01

occurs to me me. The

2:03

of it is is, about

2:05

the losing quarterback on

2:07

Sunday Sunday. He's have three

2:09

three must games in the the

2:11

span of days days.

2:14

Mahomes is is sitting

2:16

home. zero must

2:19

games, probably playing

2:21

zero games. in 23 days days

2:23

and being totally rested going

2:25

into the playoffs. the playoffs.

2:28

That's why, without any question,

2:30

the home field advantage is

2:32

the biggest advantage. in any playoff

2:34

season in any season in

2:37

any sport. that are Hmm. And

2:39

think about the teams that are competing for

2:41

it. In this instance, they've never won

2:43

a Super Bowl before. So now they have

2:45

a path through their home to get

2:47

to a Super Bowl. Obviously Detroit's never played

2:49

in one one. You know, we all know

2:51

the history is what has gone what has

2:53

but we also have, you know, have, you know,

2:56

the Angeles Chargers? uh... they

2:58

have they have a chance. They've never

3:00

won a a The Bowl the we know

3:02

we know with them. So it's kind

3:04

of an exciting time really for all

3:06

of these fan all of these you know,

3:08

legitimately. you know those four teams,

3:10

you know, they've got a shot, perhaps

3:12

the chargers, you know, the least expected. know

3:14

the least expected of them other

3:17

three, a huge shot for

3:19

their fans their fans and for uh... of

3:21

this this uh... all of this over 59

3:23

years. nine years Jim, know,

3:25

the the chargers you're right.

3:28

right, would have a very difficult

3:30

path. path. know, as it stands

3:32

now. now, they might

3:34

have to win at Baltimore

3:36

then win at then win at

3:38

Kansas City one other

3:40

game. Who play one other game.

3:43

Who knows at even win at it

3:45

to the to make it to the That

3:47

That would be one of the

3:49

toughest paths in NFL history. to

3:51

to get to a Super Bowl, to beat

3:53

the three and two seed in the

3:56

AFC If indeed, how it turns out. out.

3:58

But you're right. a very hard

4:00

path, but the other teams you

4:03

talked about, Buffalo of course is

4:05

going to have a difficult path

4:07

because that path likely, but not

4:09

certainly, would have to go through

4:12

Kansas City. And Minnesota and or

4:14

Detroit, the path would go through

4:16

them. And so they would clearly

4:18

have a bigger advantage playing at

4:21

home than they would be being

4:23

the five seat. Folks indulge in

4:34

What do you make of this

4:36

Minnesota team? You know they just

4:39

win and teams have huge comebacks

4:41

against them and they don't quite

4:43

get to the point so they

4:45

win all these one score games.

4:48

Here they are 14 and two

4:50

and you kind of are looking

4:52

around and saying how did that

4:54

happen? I think there are two

4:57

things about this team. have been

4:59

overwhelming the whole season as you

5:01

look at it. Look, they had

5:03

a tough two-game losing streak right

5:06

in the middle of the season,

5:08

and they haven't lost since. I

5:10

think one of the reasons that

5:12

they have been so difficult to

5:15

beat is that they have an

5:17

accurate quarterback who doesn't make a

5:19

lot of mistakes. If you think

5:21

about a gym, you know, Sam

5:24

Donald he's thrown 12 interceptions. That's

5:26

a few. That's a few. but

5:28

he has not had an interception

5:30

bug and he's been a 68%

5:33

passer. He has played exceedingly well

5:35

in very, very big games. He's

5:37

put up big points when he

5:39

really has had to. And I

5:42

think the other thing is, if

5:44

you look at their defense, Jim,

5:46

they're good in all aspects. of

5:48

defense right now. And you got

5:51

to credit Brian Flores for coming

5:53

in. They've had a 48 sacks

5:55

season. so far. the

5:57

one thing I one

6:00

thing I really

6:02

like about this is

6:04

how is how opportunistic it

6:06

is. I was You know, I was

6:08

looking last night and what's amazing to

6:11

me. to me, Very seldom do

6:13

you see a team. on defense,

6:15

uh, allow almost the same

6:17

almost the same number of

6:19

and and touchdowns and right

6:21

now brian florie's unit unit

6:24

has had 22 interceptions

6:26

and allowed 23

6:28

touchdowns. And that's very,

6:30

very rare. rare. has

6:32

a way of getting

6:35

to the quarterback with a

6:37

bunch of disparate parts. You

6:40

look at at Andrew Van

6:42

who has been been a

6:44

find after for some reason.

6:47

Miami letting him go. go.

6:49

So they they have done

6:51

a really, really good job

6:53

with pieces they've gotten. from

6:56

some other scrap heaps, you know, You

6:58

know, Van and Cashman and a bunch

7:00

of guys like and a bunch of guys like

7:02

that. out of the whole he's made

7:04

chicken salad out of the whole thing Go.

about them for just a moment, Peter. opportunity.

7:20

they have an opportunity. Want to Need some

7:22

help? night in spite the other night their spite

7:24

of their head coach Zach Taylor, one of the

7:26

dumbest things I've ever seen. ever seen, a

7:28

Super Bowl coach, fall on the ball, you

7:30

ball. couple of times and you run out of

7:32

times and you run out the clock, time

7:34

for little time for the Broncos. The only

7:36

way you can lose the game is

7:39

to score a touchdown, sends the running back

7:41

out. instead of him just falling in

7:43

the in the after a few seconds, a few

7:45

hurt, so they don't, you they don't, you know, they

7:47

They don't allow the Broncos to take

7:49

a time time And And the way, way, how

7:51

about telling the player, just stand there.

7:53

Just stand there. there. there. Yeah, yeah, I mean Yeah.

7:55

I mean, 10 there's like could things he

7:57

could have done that he didn't do.

8:00

that nobody does and they end

8:02

up winning the game because Sean Payton

8:04

I guess figures after five hundred and

8:06

forty something yards he's gonna stop he's

8:09

gonna stop Joe Burrow after they didn't

8:11

do it all day so he doesn't

8:13

decide to go for two points again

8:16

Super Bowl winning coach and all of

8:18

these guys are making mistakes that you

8:20

wouldn't let a fourth grader on Madden

8:23

do or wouldn't do. So I don't

8:25

even know what we're watching anymore, but

8:27

I guess I guess the Bengals in

8:30

this improbable run can somehow sneak into

8:32

the playoffs. Your thoughts after I just

8:34

gave this long. A little quick. No,

8:37

I love it, Jim. Everybody was. I

8:39

love that. I'll say two things about

8:42

the Bengals. You know, the one thing

8:44

that is totally fascinating to me is

8:46

I can tell you exactly what the

8:49

NFL is rooting for this weekend. They're

8:51

rooting for the Bengals to beat the

8:53

Steelers. and they're rooting for Kansas City

8:56

to go into Denver and probably have

8:58

Carson Wentz reclaim his career by knocking

9:00

the Denver Broncos out of the playoffs.

9:03

If that happens, Jim, just imagine, Cincinnati

9:05

opens on Wild Card Weekend in

9:07

Buffalo where Joe Borough has beaten Josh

9:09

Allen and he beat him in the

9:12

playoffs two, three years ago. And then...

9:14

If the Bengals somehow win that game,

9:16

they would play at Kansas City in

9:19

the divisional round, and as you know

9:21

there, Joe Borough has won in Kansas

9:23

City. So that is the most fascinating

9:26

thing to me about that. You know,

9:28

a guy who is two and oh

9:30

against Josh Allen, might get to play

9:33

Josh Allen, and a guy who's three

9:35

and two against Mahomes. He's the only

9:37

quarterback in the NFL playing right now

9:40

who's got a winning record against both

9:42

of those two teams. So having said

9:44

that. And when you say the NFL

9:47

wants this, you better clarify that because

9:49

I know I know people still know

9:51

how to reach your mail back. Yeah.

9:54

So what I mean, I

9:56

mean, is I mean

9:58

is pulling script or or

10:01

clarify clarify that I

10:03

mean is very simple

10:05

simple. The NFL would

10:08

love to see the

10:10

Cincinnati Bengals Pittsburgh And

10:12

I believe, and believe, and they'll never

10:14

say it, nobody will ever say it,

10:17

and they're not gonna do anything. to do

10:19

I anything. I it's ridiculous to think that, think

10:21

know, they whisper in the ref's ear,

10:23

hey, call it this way. They're not

10:25

gonna do that. to All I'm saying is

10:27

that. that. for TV ratings, which

10:29

is the total nirvana

10:31

of everything that the NFL

10:33

thinks about. about. They would love

10:35

to see the as as the

10:37

seven seed. Do you really give? Denver

10:40

much of a chance. to go to

10:42

go into and to win to win that

10:44

game. I like Bo Nix I like I

10:46

don't lot. I don't think he's going into

10:48

Buffalo and winning a playoff game. playoff

10:50

game, but... Joe Burrow in in the playoffs,

10:53

if you've watched him, you

10:55

know, nine weeks in a row, a row,

10:57

four or five TD passes, TD he's

10:59

been amazing. been amazing. So, I don't

11:01

know, know, that's what I think. And the other thing

11:03

about And the other thing about You know,

11:05

they have played offensively.

11:08

so well all season. It's their

11:11

It's their defense that has really

11:13

them. them. If they don't make

11:15

the playoffs, it's cost them. And Louis and

11:17

I think, is a terrific defensive

11:20

coordinator, but they just haven't

11:22

had a good enough season. season. And I'm

11:24

not not even saying they deserve to

11:26

be in the playoffs, but they're

11:28

a top five in the NFL in the

11:30

maybe a top three. maybe a

11:32

now. right now. And I think they

11:34

would be an awfully fun team see to

11:36

see in the wild card round. with

11:39

Bill about We talked with Bill

11:41

about this earlier in the program. did

11:43

Why did these coaches make such

11:45

bad decisions And how can it can it

11:47

happen when you have so many

11:49

on your staff on your staff and it's just

11:51

it's it's management. The

11:53

clock on Sunday

11:55

by Rahim Morris on Sunday

11:57

night was stupefying.

12:00

Absolutely. And Zach Taylor. And Zach

12:02

Taylor. Zach Taylor did a bad

12:04

job as well. But I'll take

12:06

Rahim Morris as the guy who

12:09

I think, I don't know if

12:11

I would go so far as

12:13

to say he cost them the

12:15

game, but he did very close

12:17

if indeed he didn't do it.

12:20

You know, to essentially, you know,

12:22

blow 26 seconds. or whatever it

12:24

was, 22, 26 seconds, you know,

12:26

with still having your time outs

12:28

left on the field, at the

12:30

end of the first half was

12:33

terrible and to do something similar

12:35

in the second half. Look, if

12:37

you are Terry Fontenau, if you're

12:39

Rich McKay, if you're Arthur Blank,

12:41

today, today, you've got to have

12:44

a meeting and say, we've got

12:46

to talk about clock management. You

12:48

have to. If you're the GM.

12:50

You could have had Bill Bela

12:52

check. Yeah, of course. You could

12:54

have had Bill Bela check. And

12:57

they would have won the game

12:59

last night. Of course. But anyway,

13:01

you're right about that, Jim. That,

13:03

to me, is maddening. And look,

13:05

I'm just telling you, you know,

13:08

you can make this point right

13:10

now that, oh, wait a second.

13:12

They got a big game. You

13:14

can't bother the coach in a

13:16

week like this. They have to

13:19

win this game and blah, blah,

13:21

blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,

13:23

blah, blah, blah. No. You've got

13:25

to make sure this doesn't happen

13:27

again right now. You've got to

13:29

find out right now what Rahim

13:32

Morris is going to do about

13:34

it this week, in this game,

13:36

this must-win game they have against

13:38

Carolina. You've got to find out

13:40

exactly what he intends to do

13:43

to make sure that they never

13:45

make a clock mistake like that

13:47

again. So I think it's got

13:49

to be addressed Jim. And he's

13:51

not quite as bad as Eber

13:53

Flus. when he got up there

13:56

defending it, you know. But not

13:58

quite as bad

14:00

but equally stupefying

14:03

is what do you know. I mean, if know? mean,

14:05

if you can't think this through, are

14:07

you even in the position? position? I not,

14:09

I'm not about firing coaches, but

14:11

come on, come on. If you you can't get

14:13

these basics right, these if, if, right, if

14:15

you figure this out by now, out by

14:17

can explain it to you. So

14:19

what, what can the explanation possibly be?

14:21

The only thing be? The I

14:24

would say, Jim, I is that

14:26

Jim, is every staff. Whether it's

14:28

an analytics person, whether

14:30

it's a coach, whatever it is,

14:32

it is. You

14:34

gotta designate somebody make

14:36

now. when you to make sure that

14:38

in you have 43 seconds left in

14:41

the first half and you have

14:43

your you're you're in the field of

14:45

play and the clock is ticking down,

14:47

call it now, call it now,

14:49

call the timeout now. You gotta get

14:51

somebody in his ear. ear. And that's what has

14:54

to that's what has to be done.

14:56

do if I think it's do it. I

14:58

think it's an irresponsible

15:37

if in fact in fact he breaks

the record we've got Josh Allen

15:42

been terrific and we've got and

15:44

Jackson Lamar Where would your vote go? would your

15:48

give you three quick you three

15:50

quick reasons. Jim, listen, if you if

15:52

you to to clap back at

15:54

me, please, please, please do. do

15:56

but number one one, I think he

15:59

owns the two biggest wins has

16:01

all season. has all

16:03

season, beating uh,

16:05

Kansas City and beating

16:07

12 in beating 12 And

16:09

Detroit. the other things one

16:12

of the other things about

16:14

those wins is and two with

16:16

two and a was fourth and two, to

16:18

two and a half minutes to go

16:20

in the Kansas City And they could And they

16:22

could kick a field goal and give the

16:24

ball back to Patrick Patrick or You

16:26

could go for it. And if you

16:28

don't make it, man, it looks bad.

16:30

man, it looks bad. They go go

16:32

it, they hand it to Josh Allen,

16:34

to Josh in my opinion, the single

16:36

play of the year. of the year,

16:39

considering the what he did,

16:41

running what yards for

16:43

that touchdown yards and two,

16:45

touchdown on a huge, huge

16:47

play. a Look, number

16:49

two. Look, number two. the the

16:51

took away Josh

16:53

Allen's best weapon. in the off

16:55

season and I'm not criticizing it because

16:57

I think it was smart getting rid

16:59

of Stefan I think it was smart. Getting

17:02

the other hand. Diggs.

17:04

The Ravens, Henry other

17:07

hand, that helped

17:09

And Jackson. Lamar

17:11

Jackson hugely. And so

17:14

me. while the while the

17:16

their best their best

17:18

wide is Kale Shakir, by far.

17:20

nobody nobody ever heard of three

17:22

months ago. ago. and the the Ravens

17:25

have a Hall of Famer. to

17:27

to help Lamar

17:29

Jackson. And number three, I I think it

17:31

matters that the bills have a better record. a

17:33

They'll have a better playoff position. have

17:35

a better playoff going to be

17:37

two games better, at least

17:40

one. be two games better at least one.

17:42

those are a few of my

17:44

points a few of my points. And look, love

17:46

Lamar Jackson. Jackson. Truly If he

17:48

wins, good for him. him. I

17:50

just think in terms of

17:52

value. at the highest level.

17:55

level. You gotta

17:57

forget recency by

17:59

it. here in the last two

18:01

or three weeks, you know, when

18:03

Lamar has really, really shined, you've

18:05

got to think of the entire

18:07

season. And to me, the season

18:09

in its entirety, I'd vote for

18:11

Josh Allen. And look, they have

18:14

a top five now. So I'd

18:16

go Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Patrick

18:18

Mahomes, three, Saeko and Barkley, for

18:20

Sam Darnod Five. What about Joe

18:22

Burrow? I'd put him in my

18:24

next five. and I would if

18:26

you want to it's but you

18:28

know Jim to me it's hard

18:30

when you have Sam Donald Max

18:32

Crosby just called back into the

18:34

program we thought we got rid

18:36

of Max Max jump in there

18:38

what do you think of that

18:40

vote I just think I mean

18:42

of any quarterback this season I

18:44

think Joe Burrow's been the best

18:46

overall I think Josh Allen I

18:48

agree like I believe It's tough.

18:50

Like I liked your arguments about

18:52

having Josh Allen because I think

18:54

he's incredible as well and he

18:56

deserves it to an extent, but

18:58

I think just if you put

19:01

Joe Burrow, it was a little

19:03

better defense. I mean, Joe Burrow

19:05

is running away with it. You

19:07

know what I mean? He's having

19:09

an incredible year. So, and the

19:11

way he's winning, I mean, he's

19:13

carrying that team every single week.

19:15

There's a moral to this story

19:17

Max never says goodbye you thought

19:19

we got rid of him after

19:21

the last segment But because he

19:23

wants to hear this expertise of

19:25

Peter King he jumped right okay

19:27

in there and he's putting you

19:29

to shame now because I know

19:31

the difference Hey, that's why we're

19:33

here. We're here. We're here. Jim

19:35

I got to agree all the

19:37

time. This is exactly right. Get

19:39

after a Max. I really want

19:41

to ask Max a question. Okay,

19:43

let's those three quarterbacks and I

19:46

don't You have not, well you

19:48

haven't played him this year certainly,

19:50

but Sam Donald, Jared Goff, all

19:52

those guys who are all having

19:54

great ears, but let's talk about

19:56

those three guys. Can you tell

19:58

me, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen? and

20:00

Joe Burrow. you've played them all.

20:02

You've played them all in big

20:04

games. all in big games.

20:06

I Tell me what

20:08

it's like to face each guy

20:10

to face which guy is the

20:13

toughest Sunday for you. Sunday for you.

20:15

I think they're I think

20:17

in tough in their own right. I think.

20:19

you You know, I've sacked all of

20:22

them. So what what that feels like

20:24

and it's always great because when you a a

20:26

great quarterback down, it's a little extra.

20:28

It feels like you got two sacks

20:30

and one. two sacks in one. But it really, really,

20:32

at Josh Allen, you look at Josh Allen I

20:34

way he plays, was my him, he was my

20:36

first career sack. And it would have been a

20:38

it would have been a full a but it was

20:40

a half he was low-key dragged me for me for like two

20:43

yards. I was a little, not a strong back

20:45

in the day. day. I was a a fresh the

20:47

time the time. he was at Wyoming Wyoming. And I

20:49

got to got to in in the league as

20:51

well. So a guy guy like him, he's

20:53

so big. He's like a defensive end playing

20:55

quarterback and he's not afraid to get

20:57

hit. He's not afraid to continue in the

20:59

play. He's like in the in that he's He's

21:01

gonna try to make every single play. gonna

21:03

try to make every single play. the way

21:05

they set an offense. like their old really wide wide

21:08

and tries to bait you to go inside so

21:10

can get on the edge. edge it makes

21:12

it really hard because they do a

21:14

lot of they a And then game. You got

21:16

Josh holding the ball trying to make things happen and

21:18

their in their just line So it makes it

21:20

really hard. I think playing it last year

21:22

was really difficult. the bills last year was really you

21:25

look at Then like. at Lamar, I don't

21:27

know what it is, both times I is.

21:29

Both I was defensive player of the week,

21:31

so out of something about Baltimore, I

21:33

like playing Baltimore and Lamar, but I always

21:35

have big games against him I well. have big

21:37

Lamar is just so as well. But and he's

21:39

a threat every single play. And then you

21:41

add in a a Derek the running bag, and

21:43

it's like, bag now we have two Hall

21:45

of Famers have in the of every single

21:47

play, which is a problem. single play, But a

21:49

Lamar is just But he's so special so, he's so

21:51

and I think him as a I just

21:53

gotten better and better every year. gotten then

21:55

Joe and I think every year. played him Joe

21:57

Burrow, I think, has, I played him in 2021. I

22:00

played them in the regular season and we

22:02

played them in my only playoff game. And

22:04

that was the one time I got to

22:06

sack him. And he was lights out. The

22:08

guy, like I talked about this with multiple

22:10

people, but you talked about demeanor at quarterback.

22:13

Mahomes is like him and Mahomes are I

22:15

think in a level of their own when

22:17

it comes to like not letting shit mess

22:19

with them. Like Pat is Pat is so

22:21

tough and so tough to be talking about

22:23

Pat, but like. he reminds me of that

22:26

way like they're different they're very different but

22:28

just like elite mindset on the field and

22:30

like not letting things bother them or letting

22:32

things motivate them to do better a lot

22:34

of times you see quarterbacks like when things

22:36

get hard you really start figuring out who

22:39

they are and Joe Burrell and those in

22:41

my homes I think are like top of

22:43

the top when it comes to like mentality

22:45

like Joe doesn't let anything affect them like

22:47

I had a the one where I had

22:49

that off sides and I had clean them

22:52

or they didn't blow the whistlele the whistlele

22:54

He got up, he's like, no, you're good

22:56

man. Oh, it ties me on the back.

22:58

He's like, no, I know, I know, they

23:00

should have blown the whistle faster. Like, typically,

23:02

he gots to lose their mind. You know

23:05

what I mean? Like, and he was just

23:07

like, oh, I'm good, I'm just completely talking

23:09

quiet, no blank face the whole time. I'm

23:11

like, this dude, this dude, he's like, blank

23:13

face the whole time. I'm like, I'm like,

23:15

blank face, blank face the whole time. I'm

23:18

like, I'm like, I think my homes is

23:20

that guy. I think my homes is that

23:22

guy. To my opinion. Let's go, it was

23:24

brought to you by American Express. Sometimes you've

23:26

just got to be there. That's when the

23:28

moment becomes larger than life, the roar of

23:31

the crowd, the electricity in the building, and

23:33

with the dedicated Amex card member interests at

23:35

selected venues, you're one step closer to it

23:37

all. You had to be there, and so

23:39

you were. That's the powerful backing of American

23:41

Express. That's Max Crosby. Nothing like saying goodbye,

23:44

goodbye, and then you don't leave. Max Crosby's

23:46

still with us here on the program right

23:48
