00:00Um, we were talking about earlier, the fact that, uh, you know, I don't care about, you

00:11know, the chiefs locks going to run out one of these days and in these upcoming days in

00:17these upcoming scheduled games that they have, I don't give a rat's ass about even Christmas

00:24day against the Steelers because it's meaningless.

00:27All that matters is week two of the divisional semis is that's when it hits that they lose

00:34at Arrowhead in one of their one score games.

00:38And then if it's not, then it's the next week in the AFC championship game.

00:43I need it to end one of those two weekends, otherwise we're going to have to go down and

00:49eat fish and talk about them again for a third straight year.

00:52And that makes me sick to my stomach.

00:54Yeah, I agree with you, Scott.

00:56I think the, the people that are assuming that the demise of the Kansas city chiefs

01:00has begun for real because they're winning closely are delusional.

01:05You can also make the argument that they're beat up, banged up, that they've had a million

01:09injuries and they're still winning football games and you know, they're going to dial

01:14it up a notch.

01:15There's a different level, right?

01:16There's a different level in the playoffs, specifically at the coaching position.

01:23And you know, Andy Reid's going to dial it up.

01:25You know, Spagnola is going to dial it up in a 60 game setting.

01:28So they're like the wicked witch of the West, Scott.

01:30And I know this new wicked movie is a smash success, but that's who the Kansas city chiefs

01:35are.

01:36They're the wicked witch of the West.

01:37And until you finish them off and they're gone, they're not gone.

01:42Like they're not done.

01:43This doesn't matter, but it does matter, Scott, that you try to knock them off the perch at

01:47least that they don't have home field.

01:50I don't think anybody, like even if I was a Buffalo bills, I'm not going to feel good

01:53about going in Arrowhead and a conference championship game.

01:56You've got to at least, at least get them on the road and give yourselves a better chance.

02:03But I'm with you, Scott, until they're beat, bro.

02:05I mean, no one thinks they're ever going to win Scott.

02:07And even in the past years, they're not very good.

02:09They're not going to win this and that.

02:12And they find ways and they find ways in a playoff.

02:14So I'm with you.

02:15The chiefs are still the team to beat.

02:17Let's not kid ourselves.

02:18You got the chiefs, you got the bills, you got the Steelers.

02:22Team's starting to fade a little bit.

02:24I don't think the Chargers will be a fun team to play in a playoff, Scott, but let's not

02:28kid ourselves, guys.

02:29The Kansas City Chiefs are the team to beat in the National Football League still.

02:34This isn't college football where we're judging like style points, guys.

02:38It's different.

02:39This is pro football.

02:41The chiefs are the team to beat.

02:42I agree with you.

02:43And then, I mean, like, look, those are, you know, Denver would be a playoff team right

02:49now.

02:50Houston is going to be a playoff team.

02:52Baltimore and then the three Kings, which are Kansas City, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh.

02:58Of all those teams, you watched, you know, Denver last night, Bo Nix, that defense, Sertan.

03:06My guess would be they would not have a home game, but they would have to go on the road.

03:10Do you consider the Chargers and Broncos and Ravens?

03:15Now, I've already seen the Ravens live.

03:17The Steelers beat them.

03:18I went to the game.

03:20All they do is lose big games lately, if you haven't noticed.

03:22So, of all those teams, who's got the best shot of surviving with Kansas City, Buffalo,

03:29and Pittsburgh?

03:30None of them.

03:31I say none of them.

03:32No, you know what the thing is, Scott, I think, I don't want to sound cliche, but I think

03:36you would agree with this.

03:37In a modern NFL, anybody can kind of beat anybody.

03:40So, when you're talking about like the Broncos, the Chargers, the Texans of the world, although

03:45I don't think much of the Texans this year, like it wouldn't shock me if they won a playoff

03:52game, right?

03:53I mean, they can win a wild card game, but I don't see the Broncos being able to string

03:56together three games, as you stated.

03:59As it is now, Scott, the Broncos, if it held true, if the Chiefs hung on to the top seed

04:04and the Bills hung on to the second seed, it would be Denver at Buffalo.

04:09It would be Denver at Buffalo in the playoffs.

04:12I'm not going to dismiss them, but I think the Buffalo Bills would win, but I don't think

04:16the Chargers or the Broncos or the Texans have three games in them, Scott.

04:19You know what I mean?

04:20Where they're going to get that hot, where it's like, all right, look, we won this game,

04:24we won that game, now we're going to go on the road and win the conference championship

04:26game.

04:27I don't see that happening, but I think they're legitimately dangerous.

04:31And you know, if you ask me, Scott, you get into a 60-minute setting, you know, the Broncos

04:37are a load, bro, and so are the Chargers.

04:40You know, to me, because of the coaching, coaching matters in the playoffs, guys.

04:43You have a week to prepare for these games, and coaches can really come up with some stuff,

04:48and we see the difference of great coaching in past years in the playoffs.

04:53Sean Payton's won a Super Bowl before, Sean Payton's coached in big playoff games before.

04:57So you give him a week to prepare for a team, he's going to come up with some kinks and

05:02some tweaks, and similar with Harbaugh, Harbaugh's been in a Super Bowl, Harbaugh's won a national

05:07championship.

05:08You get into a 60-minute game with Harbaugh, and he's just going to want to bleed that

05:12clock and shorten the game.

05:14So I don't think they're going to be a lot of fun to play, Scott, so, and in fact, let's

05:17keep it on this theme.

05:18I think the Chargers, we're going to find out a hell of a lot this Sunday night about

05:22both teams.

05:23I think the Chargers can go into Kansas City and actually beat them.

05:26In past years, guys, even with that clown Staley as their coach, they used to hang around.

05:32The Chargers have always competed with the Kansas City Chiefs.

05:36And now you've got Harbaugh rolling in here.

05:39They can run the ball.

05:40Obviously, they've got injuries right now with Dobbins, but L.A. played good defense,

05:45Scott.

05:46Smash Mouth, Big Ten-style football team.

05:48That's going to be a close game.

05:49I like the Chargers plus the points, and let's see if the Chargers can knock them off.
