Live from New York it’s the show okay that’s too much he’s been too much knew since last night I knew it was coming he calls me up this morning with the worst ideas and I had to land the plane in here there are a lot of ideas I

Think going be about 20 b coming down lot of ideas it’s first things first today Chiefs win Nick’s take classic category one absolutely correct meanwhile prie wins Nick’s take classic Category 3 totally wrong and finally Ravens win brassard’s tap actually a little more nuanced not easily categorized but the

Moral of story is that he believed in Lamar all along and totally correct and totally Brew had it exactly right and he’s got the purple tie wow wonderful I got other stuff Tooo I’m Kevin Wilds Nick how do you feel on this wonderful Monday morning for Chiefs Kingdom let’s get which I am a part of let’s get to it okay let’s get right to it sounds you going have about 10 minutes before either one of us can

Say said do you know how many full screens Nick have is said how many said 18 said in the show he said no the a block so we’re starting with momes goes to Buffalo and sends the bills home 215 yards and two touchdowns to Travis Kelce

Who was wearing a shirt he’s headed back to the AFC Championship here’s momes after the game that was fun um I love Arrowhead but uh it it’s always fun when you get to come together as a team and really just be like y’all vers vers everybody

And get the win so uh it’s always great to be in great environments and uh find a way to get a win okay the official question that we decided on in the meeting is Nick any doubts a doubt was there ever a doubt was there ever a doubt Brew was it the

Chiefs versus the bills in January then no of course there was never a doubt the only reason anyone would have had doubt about this Chief’s team was because of their allegedly not scary offense but you know who seemed pretty damn scared by it their opponent yesterday that from

The first play of the game was pressing first play of the game they fumble the ball got to get those extra yards can’t let mes beat us third play of the game I’m 10 yards past the line of scrimmage I’m so panicked I’m going to throw it

Forward the refs are going to let it go because we’re know we’re going to need every yard two hours into the game you’re down three in the fourth quarter fake punt with the ball at the end trying to take the lead more worried about momes getting the ball than you actually

Getting the lead and so no of course there would nine yards per play before the kneel Downs the most of any playoff game of the entire momes era only faced five third Downs the punter for the second straight playoff game didn’t even really need to activate him eight plays

Of 20 plus yards eight zero compared to the Buffalo Bills highflying terrifying oh my God unicorn Le offense so how’d they do it why was there never a doubt because this Chiefs team while everyone’s going all in while everyone’s acting like this whole NFL Universe is

Going to end in a year took a Long View and said you know what we can afford to trade away the single best non-quarterback in football because we have the the single best quarterback in football of this or any era so we can build through the draft so we can get

Younger on defense and how is that defense looked over the last two months of the Season well I can show you which is they shut everyone down in the second half okay so then what how are you going to score points well do you have the most prolific postseason combination in

League history Kelsey and Mahomes well now literally you do and how’s Travis doing because next week against the Ravens he’s going to break Jerry Rice’s receptions record in a next season he’ll break his touchdowns record The Yards are going to be hard to come by but

That’s who they have and then of course you have Patrick momes who is the best player in the league Brew in the regular season and then in the playoffs against the best competition against the best defenses with the highest Stakes he raises his level to I’ll just be a

League MVP in the postseason and that’s here’s what I mean on the left is Patrick mahomes’s playoff resume on the right are the last dozen League MVPs at quarterback aside from Mahomes and what you’ll see is he’s better than League MVPs and so was there was there ever a

Reason for a doubt Brew the answer is no and it’s because and drop the banner Dusty the chief’s down year is better than your best year the the bad chief disappointing what’s wrong with them season is better than the best season you’re going to get for 90% of

Franchises Buffalo of course firmly in that 90% so no there was never a doubt Chris brousard is that it there five minutes I waiting for like somebody to come up behind me some more round two man we got a cresendo I I got to give the Chiefs

Prop you know I believe in Mahomes it was a great game overall time what time what I’m about to get to some stuff what I know you did that like I know you know I believe in Mahomes you picked the bills you said bills bills bills and we bills bills bills I was

Wrong get that BR I wasn’t going to make you do that cuz you were right on I’m with you pal Pacho played great yep Kelsey best game all year true just in time uh MPS oh I was shot I got to be hon can be help I was a little surprised

Caught those passes here’s the phrase Nick that comes to my mind when I saw that game or thinking about that game no room for error no room for ER I thought Buffalo played well I thought Buffalo played well but they made a few errors no room for error for the bills you’re saying

Yeah when you no to beat the Chiefs got agreed to beat Patrick momes Andy Reed Kelsey and the chiefs no room for error I bu that none and the like I said the bills played well they ran for 180 something yards you know Josh Allen didn’t throw for a ton but my goodness

Two touchdowns running dime to the uh Shakir corner I mean great so I thought the bills played a very good game but they made a few either errors or missed opportunities and here’s here’s some of them are the to beat the Chiefs I know this is a tough catch but to beat

The Chiefs you got to make it that’s right you got to make it and that’s that’s Trent sherfield if he makes that catch early in the fourth quarter who knows what happens but then there’s one Stefan digs now Stefan digs talks a lot and he is a great player got to make

This catch that’s a hard catch it’s a hard catch but you’re Stefan digs you’re one of the best receivers in the league it hits you there can’t imagine having to deal with drops when you look back as some of the great franchises Super Bowl memories playoff memories great plays like that

Get made and buffalo didn’t make it and then of course you have Allan throwing the Shakir in the end zone now Stefan Diggs is open underneath could have got it to him ate up more clock moved down the field I don’t hate him going for that but he just missed the throw he

Missed the throw and my point is you cannot do that against a team that is is very good and has the heart of but you know what the Chiefs can do fumble the ball at the one yard line and win anyway cuz they’re the Chiefs well they’re

They’re cuz they’re the that was a silly play no that’s yes they made a dumb play there they once again at the very beginning of the game didn’t capitalize in the Red Zone they they they they they allowed a third and 17 on the opening

Drive of the game now again a lot of teams could convert those if you’re allowed to throw a forward pass eight yards past line of scrimmage but they got away with it all those things there were four fumbles in this game K City recovered one of them which was

Their own the other three were recovered by Buffalo all those things went in the Bill’s favor and being be like oh yeah but Buffalo missed the kick the only thing the bills missing that kick did was prevent your heart being ripped out in a different way because Patrick

Mahomes in that game under that circumstances minute 42 timeouts if you think he’s not driving the field and getting points you’re out of your mind I buy that yeah do you have anything no no we got more stuff to go I’m just wait let’s just we got more to do all right

Mahs head to Baltimore for yet another Conference Championship six in a row Brady has eight 70s Raiders have five four teams have four including the ’90s bill sad Trumbo Nick do you think people are underestimating Mahomes I mean obviously yes really well they were the underdog yesterday so yeah I got they’re

Under brew as much as you love him as much as you love him you underestimated him CU you you don’t win every year so picking against him is not underestimated this not the Super this is the AFC Championship so here’s the thing you know what does happen every year Patrick

Mahomes plays in this game coming up next weekend it happens every year and you know why it happens every year we can because he is statistically speaking and he hasn’t caught Brady yet but we assume he will eventually in the winds but even if not we can show it to you he

Is the once again just adds to the legend each and every and then I don’t think people have the full context of it because Mahomes is 5 and half years into his career as a starter but here is the eight most playoff wins by quarterbacks so right

Now momes is tied with Favre and big Ben for six if and when he beats Baltimore brew and we’ll talk about that game later he will only be looking at mon up at Montana and Brady he’s 28 years old and then there is my favorite stat of it

All which is why people are underestimating him because he somehow gets better when times are the worst we talked last year injured his numbers got better we have we’ve discussed him as an underdog the numbers get better wi trailing by seven plus in the playoffs since he came to the league

The rest of the league wins less than 20% Patrick lost his first one the overtime one against BR has won eight of nine since then okay that’s the rest of the NFL what about the rest of Mount Rushmore quarterbacks all right so Mahomes wins 80% Brady pretty damn good 48% Montana 40% Payton

25% momes 8 and two went down a touchdown in the postseason and so this is where people I don’t think understand and why I get so reflexively angry at some of the critiquing throughout the year because yeah I’m going to go ahead and operate from the perspective of if

It’s Patrick’s approach he’s right if everyone wants him to scream at mvs and stop targeting him if he’s not doing that there’s a reason if everyone is panicking and he’s not there’s a reason and if everyone else thinks you know what they don’t have it this year and

That guy until proven otherwise shows will be one of the last four standing and then see what happens maybe we’ll lose an overtime of the championship round or else we’ll be in the Super Bowl then yeah and if you are operating from the perspective of he might not be in

This round which the vast majority and bookmakers were you’re underestimating him Brew I I don’t think he’s underestimating because he didn’t have a great year by his standards right even you know he wasn’t the MVP sure and yet you can’t find a pundit that won’t say and hasn’t been saying he’s the best

Quarterback in the league am I no the pundits are Run the game I’m not name name he he is generally still even before this game regarded as the best quarterback in the league don’t you think I’ve heard people even saying well you hear a lot of people we’ve say it on

This show but I hear people on other shows saying he’s the best quarterback they’ve ever seen through but didn’t you hear a lot of people saying going into this game that the bills had the better quarterback that Josh Allen was that when they were doing the better

Quarterback that when they were doing a t had a better season maybe but the better quarterback we doing a taale of the tape check marks offense defense quarterback head coach a lot of folks gave the check mark in the quarterback category to the bills that is not a

Straw man it wasn’t this show but that’s not a straw man that is that that is absolutely what was happening when I’ve looked at m i I even think him making the Pro Bowl which you know was fine but you even said it yourself he’s always

Going to be in You could argue that Allen could have made the Pro Bowl over him you could argue CJ stra could have made it over him but he made it so my point is I think he gets like everybody knows how great he is but not picking

Him to win nobody wins every year and I don’t I don’t know if they’re favored they’re probably not fa this we but again this was not this was not about picking them to be win the Super Bowl it was about picking them to win in round two against Buffalo and folks bent over

Backwards to find a reason as to why the 11-6 Bills team was this Juggernaut and this 11- six Chiefs team was super flawed bent over backwards to find a reason why Josh Allen you didn’t have to bend over the backwards to see that they’re receiving core had been a

Weakness yeah and yes of course every team has slight weaknesses that was slight now they’ve come look they played great yesterday I can’t blame him but I’m just you went on blind face saying they going to get it done and they did yeah but you can’t blame people for

Saying they L the league in drops they cost them games and and they didn’t do it yesterday I would blame people if if in 2005 people were like you know what this is the week I think Tiger Woods misses the cut at austa I would say you

Are yeah I don’t care how poorly he was playing leading up to it you were like no that would be ridiculous but Mahomes did add one more check to his because we already talked about best stats all this he’s now unequivocally the best Underdog quarterback ever which is bodess very

Poorly drop it please Dusty it bodess very I mean he’s greatest Underdog in NFL history 91 and one against the spread 8 and three overall it’s not it’s not debatable but go ahead now let’s talk about meanwhile Josh Allen uh threw the ball almost 40 times lots of screens

Had two rushing touchdowns one throwing also took some shots at the end zone at the end of the game that missed here he is after the game sucks losing sucks losing to them losing anybody at home sucks every season if you don’t win it’s it’s failed season that’s the nature of the business

Um you know there’s one one happy team at the end of the season really and um when it’s not you and you’re and you’re so close it just it sucks all right Brew are you putting this loss on Josh Allen Wilds what what was I the first to

Say about momes okay that he was jordanes you said on Sports jordanes do you blame Patrick Yuan for losing to Michael Jordan no I mean Reggie Miller Charles Barkley Kow Malone do do you blame him you just say man they were in his era and you don’t blame

Him Josh Allen balled out yesterday now made a couple mistakes the the looking looking like I said throwing it to shakirin it’s he didn’t ball out he did for the first three quarters he played all right excellent for the first three quarters he ran for two touchdowns

Through a can we see this one Dusty Shakir was incredible all right I here it is I mean first of all look at finding time making extra time and that pass is incredible all right so he threw for 186 yards it’s not like hey what do

I always say about Josh be clean he was that’s the problem he was clean and they went hold on no they went he had three touchdowns they went downfield we just saw Trent sherfield now was a tough catch Dro one in the Bread Basket we saw Stefan Diggs one of the best receivers

In the world drop one so and he under threw Shakur so Shak so I’m just saying like the defense was the problem okay they couldn’t stop him hold on hold on Nick the the Chiefs had one punt the Chiefs scored on their first five possessions now I’m not saying Allen was

Perfect but I’m saying if you say what cost them the game I’m going to say the fact that the defense couldn’t stop them at all yeah that’s their offense had the ball for 37 minutes yeah so score more 24 points especially at the end get a touchdown to win the game like listen

First I want to be fair to Buffalo I know it’s a really tough day it’s wide right again I do and they deserve credit you know I think each playoff Victory matter or something Dusty dropped the banner because these don’t come by lightly I mean listen backto back bronz

Medalists in the AFC back to back to back pardon me that’s three straight now two losses in a row at home against two your Chief Rivals I mean I I yeah I’ll give him I guess it could be Houston we’ll give him the bronze this year so here’s the thing let’s roll

Through this because Brew did something that he accuses me of doing sometimes which is you’ve lowered the bar so much this is a guy who is being discussed as League MVP until the final week of the year this is a guy who was disussed was openly discussed as the second best

Quarterback in football and it’s a guy who in the fourth quarter couldn’t come through and we can show you the numbers they’re undeniable Brew it’s and that’s that in for missing the field goal no that was his fault no I’m not saying he was per really how CU you you were

Thinking a 44 yard field goal in the cold I mean you weren’t thinking it was a gimme but it was like okay this is what we got you can you make it 44w you have glossed over by the way entirely four plays before the misfield goal the fumble right which they that they

Recovered so here’s the problem the Bill’s coaching staff was afraid of Josh Allen which made him not not scared they were scared of Josh so that made him not scary show the nextg stats passing chart and the data on it so that so listen 16 passes behind the line of scrimmage

Which is the most in the nextg era by any quarterback 16 completions two completions past the sticks the entire game the Bills coach like oh my gosh we can’t let Josh make the big mistake he still tried to at the end despite it and because of that all

Of a sudden they had an offense like the Derek Henry Titans where effective Nick but it wasn’t really yes they lost by three you’re acting like they got blasted the same J when Josh Allen was throwing it all over the field they lost too yeah in fact they lost by more point

Exactly so so they couldn’t beat him either way but this worked they had the ball for 37 minutes to the Chiefs 23 it’s they lost they they lost the game but to act like that run game wasn’t effective yeah I what I’m saying is they were the favorite against a wounded

Vulnerable Chiefs team that smart people wounded including yeah Brew there Middle Line who more wounded between the two teams Brew the the chief’s middle linebacker went out on the first play of the game they’re safety went on the second you going sit here and say the

Chiefs were more injured no no no no no no not at all say wounded I mean from a this was considered the weakest Chiefs team they’re in your building this is your moment you picked them and Josh had the ball with a chance to come through

And didn’t like I I I’m not killing him he was not the problem he was not okay that was the question no was he the reason they lost the game right but but my reaction is because I it seems like you’re putting none of the blame no no

I’m I’m putting some of it on him I’m just saying the M I don’t think it’s on him that was a question it’s it is his job in that spot to come through when the when his defense gives him the ball with the F Force fumble at

The one it’s like oh my God we have a chance here and you’re driving the field and you have a first and 10 from the 25 it is your job to either pick up the first down so the Chiefs wouldn’t have the ball at the end because even if they

Make the field goal I think they lose or to put it in the end zone and he couldn’t and that’s and again we think if they if they make the field goal and I agree with you I think Mahomes probably would have marched down at

Least for a field goal but we don’t know that for a fact right but BR he set his team up to tie the game that’s what you I mean you want to go ahead touchdown but he still got him in position to keep playing on so you if you think that he

Played a great game no I think he played a good a very good game okay and I’m saying in that moment the biggest game of his career he needed to be great yeah that’s fair we we reached he was better than their defense how about that that’s

Fine their defense that’s not why the bills are the bills that that that’s the point he scored three touchdowns okay then let’s just know it’s fine he played very good they got a very good result that’s it they’re third place it’s very good Mahomes played great best passer

Rating of the whole year that’s why he no one’s ever doubted that Mahomes is better than Josh Allen no that brw and that’s m is better than Lamar Jackson but let’s see what happens next weekend head over social media one of my favorite places uh Patrick Mahomes on

Instagram saying good luck that is a response to Dion Dawkins who said this is Mahomes first time in Buffalo well good luck um so momes kind of reciprocated it I like that I like it’s a nice little bit of post game Trash Talk we just we don’t really have time

Here just bring it out I mean we’re we have our bull Bo yeah bulletin board so Dion Dawkins you remember when you got put on here you said good luck you’ve now been eliminated who else got eliminated I forgot to do this before I’m eliminating him now Colin coward you’ve been

Eliminated you picked against the Chiefs again as you have been all year you remember when Josh Allen said to Tua he’s going to see him in a couple weeks maybe he me on the golf course maybe he me at the Pro Bowl games oh no Josh

Isn’t a pro bowler my bad but still there you go and then there’s one more on here oh yeah when the Buffalo Bills trolled me after they won their Super Bowl with the never a doubt thing congrats Buffalo for winning your Super Bowl again and by the way congrats to

You guys for the first time all year making the banners drop the banner please last one if we could was coming never a doubt bruise without toes wild still excommunicated what did I do wrong what do you you’re still out what did I do wrong you’re still out still out Bru

Out of toes I never had any doubts Wild’s out no yes out why am I out because you were out playoff comeback welcome back to a hot show pretty prettyy good Kyle Shanahan previously 0 and 30 went down seven or more until now you know why Mr well then

Here’s Brock F’s numbers on the final drive 6 for seven 47 passing yards 11 rushing yards three first downs two passing and one heroic laes run okay it’s true and here’s a tweet that I got that I wanted to share there was a very specific set of criteria Nick needed to

See from this guy I blocked this guy years ago such a troll and you put him on the show you should check this guy’s Twitter history you should check the Tweet it’s very ACC facing adversity green check not having all the Avengers Debo was out green check I saw the game

Down in the fourth quarter remember you wanted to see that yeah green check come from behind and win did that too green check yeah Greg Jennings is here looking resplendant as always but Nick we’ll start with with you yeah do you finally believe finally believe in Brock pie

Since he met all the criteria that you laid out for him okay so I know what you want me to say bro in America and C bus card guy who made the show he did it ex exactly what I asked him to do didn’t even include that it was raining

And that’s hard for him to deal with with his tiny tiny hands it is uh no Debo down in the fourth yeah in a big playoff game all he did everything that I asked him to do you could not have scripted it better nailed it so given that you expect me to be

Like I submit well if you’re a man of your word you said yeah that’s all you had left to say okay so that’s I get that that seems totally fair the truth is I watched that game and I thought he was the Niner’s biggest weakness for

Massive the for majority of it bad game agree I I watched the game and I said the that Green Bay if not for some terrible plays by them and some terrible spots by The Ref uh early in the game should have run away with it I watched

That game and I said that Pere was trying to throw the game away via pick six multiple times I watched that game and I thought Christian mcaffrey kept them in it throughout it and Christian mcaffry won it for him and so I watched that game where he did everything I

Asked him to do at the end and I came away from it saying yeah he’s the reason they can’t win a Super Bowl Okay so I listen I know that makes me a villain Brew I know it makes me a bad guy but it’s the I’m not going to sit here and

Lie and I think you watch the game Brew saying uhoh he’s not playing well uhoh he might be the problem what’s going into his trunk what oh he’s moving the goal post he’s moving the goalpost he’s don’t don’t give it away he’s trying to no I know what you’re

Doing he’s moving the goal post I’m being Nick right yeah I’m being Nick right I’m moving the gold post I mean Nick let let I don’t have to say it your own words yeah I said it your own words December 7th let’s see it do what would

It take for me to believe the ners can win the Super Bowl with Brock pie for that I need to see at least one real comeback victory yeah I would have thought that was one now I remember also asking going into a game I remember asking you if

Brock p played great throughout the game you know like he has many times and they win yeah would you be more impressed with that or if he played poorly and then when it was time they needed a drive to win it he delivered the drive which one would you be more impressed

With you said the drive so here we go all over the place look Brock py didn’t play well and I do think I don’t know if it’s cuz small hands or whatever the rain the wet ball bothers him definitely bothers him all right Cleveland his his

Last really bad or really bad game that day same thing it was wet it was raining so that was an issue however the dude fought through that and that last Drive dimes we saw earlier let me see those throws again look at that that is a money throw and then his somebody named

Chris Conley oh he’s a former Chief Super Champ yeah right all right so he hits him for a second 1 yard game 6 for seven 47 yards on the last Drive the only drop hit George KD in the numbers I mean come on you got to give me he’s

Asked you know he can play well throughout a game against top teams cuz he’s done it we’ve seen that multiple times against the best of the league you have more faith in him for this week after last week’s game I I had faith in him right I didn’t need to see this but

I’m I thought you needed to see it and a lot of people and it turns out it wasn’t enough played great during the game don’t get me wrong he he missed some throws Greg you can be the deciding vote he played well enough for them to

Win look I believe that he can do what he did in the last Drive however I’m with Nick I got right here in my notes I worry about him being a liability what’s his record in the post I don’t care what his record is really cuz we care care can I can I

Talk he’s three and old when is say everybody I’m tell you why I’m going tell you because we do this with every every player it doesn’t really matter but let’s we’re talking about Brock pie like I canot see what I saw and I understand he had the last laugh because

He made the drive he had the drive that allowed his team to win the game but he also had several other drives that put his team in a position where he better had done that because they would have lost because of his performance so with

Me I didn’t I didn’t even want to do that I’m sorry Brock because this is it’s not I’m not upset with you because I believe that he can be a good quarterback he’s shown that but I am more concerned and I have more questions revolving around will he be a liability

Than I do of he’s going to be the reason why we win the game yeah I don’t believe that stronger than I believe the former can I ask this how about the defense as well how they they in the regular season third best Rush defense in the league gave up 140 yards almost

Rushing and they lucky that 53 yard or whatever it was by Aaron Jones late in the game didn’t kill him all right no sacks so I’m just saying py you can’t sit here and say he played a very good game early on but he wasn’t the only

Reason no it was a lot of reason and he let him to that win I also think that if the ners could choose they’d let Detroit have the home game next week well it’s supposed to not R perfect condition they can’t deal can’t deal with even a light meanwhile in Baltimore Ravens

Rooll Lamar throws for two touchdowns runs for 100 yards and uh two more at Bruce as the bru Ravens dispatch of the fritzky Texans Harbaugh taking the win and stride here he is uh I believe that’s considered dancing it’s a little rough uh Ravens are excited Brew I’m sure you

Have a level-headed approach even though you’ve been correct about the Ravens since before the season even started do you have any cogent analysis for this Baltimore Victory I’ve been sitting here for 35 minutes I know listening to my man across the table run his mouth drop

Banners all of that going to joke talk to him and my man who oh I I trust CJ stra more than Lamar Jackson in a playoff game that’s what Nick right said I didn’t say that Lamar Jackson delivered as I thought he would as I said he would the only thing wse that

Would make this better uhoh it’s a sandwich why why right here I want to eat it right now sod but here’s what they do here’s what they do go they invite you to their place come on over we going to have a good time we going to go play outside

And then they eat lunch all up in your face and give you none that’s what they do you don’t eat you come to Baltimore you do not eat and I’m not going to disrespect the Chiefs but the Ravens this is what they do this is what they

Do and I think it’s going to continue that is what that is the type of cogent all 22 based analysis we’ve come to expect from the other show all right I know people probably because of the comments I had on pry which were nothing but honest I knew

They’d be unpopular but they were honest would think that I’m a man who has trouble admitting when he was wrong I do not I just need to know I was wrong I was wrong about Baltimore I did think Houston would win and at halftime Greg I

Was like uhoh cuz I like I understand people might not think I like Lamar cuz I didn’t believe in the Ravens all year that’s true believed in them all year I picked him didn’t think they made the playoff that’s true that’s all true but

I like Lamar a lot and I thought I was like oh no if they lose this game and it’s another number one seed meltdown the The Narrative surrounding was going to be ugly and bad I have massive respect for them Brew’s been right on them and they are listen the Chiefs have

Played in five of these things prior to this year three times they had a worthy competitor New England the first time and Cincinnati the last two this is a worthy competitor and so I so all props of Baltimore who I’ve been wrong about all year long Greg you

Say Greg yeah I I was surprised I’m not going to lie the way that CJ St and that offense had been rolling I thought that they would put up a better fight that defense looked they looked great I think that third quarter coming out that first

Drive in the third quarter it was great until it almost wasn’t and then it was great again because Lamar almost threw a pick in the end zone that got dropped and then he turns around and he has a quarterback draw and he scores and it kind of broke their back and then they

Go on to an easy Victory so I I was pretty surprised I thought defensively Wilds that was the best I thought the Ravens defense in that game was the best any team’s defense or offense has been in any game this postseason I thought the Ravens defense in that game was damn

Near perfect get the sandwi that have some soda pop I I appreciate y’all apping up next big show Bruce spent so long practicing that I’m sharing the sandwich I’m on a Daniel Fast I can’t eat the sandwich Lions headed to San Francisco after Baker’s last pass ended up in the

Hands of Derek Barnes Big Show on the day through 350 yards three touchdowns two interceptions so be it one was an nhf yeah you’re right not his fault uh here is postgame Big Show that is felt like we were in it up until the last drive and so yeah I

Mean it sucks I feel like my heart just got ripped out it sucks because I know what type of group we’ve had all year that we fought to get to this point we fought to be in that game we weren’t supposed to be here by any measures but

We believed in each other and we fought for it and so um yeah this this one’s going to weigh on me for a while bre you impressed by the bake show I don’t know about impressed but he played well he he played well and baker has shown me and I think he’s shown

Everybody you can win with Baker thank you like like really I mean he’s not a top obviously not a top quarterback he’s probably like a tier three I I would argue how many guys in each tier sixish okay that’s fine so he’s somewhere from like 13 to 18 I mean he

Look so I’ll take it from Cleveland I’d love to have him in Cleveland right now you know so I I think Baker he shows the moments never too big the last interception you know you trying to make something happen I mean Baker was fine they went further than

They should have gone and they had no business winning Sunday and they didn’t so Baker was mine B show I was very impressed with Baker I was very impressed with Baker now I’m not going to sit here and act like all 17 games I just watched every single snap of Baker

Mayfield but these last two weeks in particularly to watch him in his maturity as a leader the way that he talked to his guys on the sideline that said a lot to me even when they were down he didn’t waver with the task at hand and what they he believed that they

Could get done in Detroit against a team that was going to put up points clearly we saw that Baker Mayfield made every throw possible except that last throw like what the chemistry that he and Mike Evans have been able to establish it’s very impressive and in the way in the

Manner of which they’ve been going about their business he’s putting the Buccaneers in a position where they’re going to have to make a real decision like he’s going to get paid that’s by the Buccaneers yep they don’t have another option because your guy who I’m not going to mention who’s been sitting

Behind him allad mention he pushed Baker he got the best not have you seen Baker play like this let’s not bring him into this uh go ahead while did you want to say something I’m just glad we haven’t mentioned no my my only thing was the

Question for you is be honest like is good good enough for the bucks and can you actually win a Super Bowl or just kind that is you would have to have an outstanding roster around him to win a Super Bowl with Baker like I my I fought

For a long time that I thought Baker was good and remember when those three categories of quarterbacks the great ones the good and then the bad ones he’s to me on the upper echelon of that good which really is you’re going to be a chameleon to your surrounding to Talent

What was so impressive to me about what he did this year is that Bucks team was stripped down because of the salary cap issues they did a full reset and for him to be able to do that I thought the drive at the end of the first half 92

Yards in a minute 20 was awesome and I think he does inspire guys because he plays so hard he’s getting his ass kicked yesterday as far as the sacks and he’s tough so I I agree with Greg if the Bucks try not to pay him somebody would

Pay him not top of the quarterback Market but spot TR says 27 no I think three years 100 million okay 33 33.3 yeah good math good job Ro repeating Josh Allen now 0 and3 against Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs only threw for around 185 yards but that was spectacular cor you

Bro he have a lot of good runs very good here he is after the game sucks losing sucks losing to them losing anybody at home sucks every season if you don’t win it’s it’s failed season that’s the nature of the business um you know there’s one one happy team

At the end of the season really and um when it’s not you when you’re and you’re so close it just it sucks okay uh did this game change how you view Josh Allen how I view him know how the rest of the media should the vast majority of the

Media it should change it do you think it will uh well we’ll see like here’s the thing what they the bills made an offensive coordinator change during the year because they decided we don’t want to get Josh Allen’s best because with that comes his worst so instead we’re

Going to lower the ceiling to raise the floor that is what they did and they did it in that game and it worked to a degree but it changes what so it it changes what makes him in the running for the second or third or fourth best quarterback in football wherever you

Think he is what it did to me Greg Dead Forever it was the nonsense momes Allen Brady manic that’s gone now for the record Brady Manning the idea was Brady has the Rings Montana has the MVPs Brady has the wins Montana has the stats also man did I say Montana sorry Manning

Manning is what I meant this whole time my apologies Brady Manning thank you brw uh but Payton won their third playoff matchup after losing the first two in the other guys building and did it in starring fashion and so we just do Greg a tale of the tape momes versus Allen

For their careers all right stats well it’s momes across the board what about accolades um well let’s see it is we can show the accolades I hope okay it’s literally momes in everything and there’s a lot of zeros there and by the way he’s own three against him in the

Playoffs so Brady Manning Mahomes Allen is nonsense it is and so I I hope the rest of the media Greg joins me on the obviously correct side of that argument I I think Nick that I don’t know if it change I I I liked what I saw on Sunday um from Josh

Allen and I think Joe Brady’s done a really good job with him now they got to they it’s got to improve and this is why I’m not so much on firing sh Shan mcder now cuz the injuries on defense they played well last half of the season with

That with all those injuries and Josh Allen the turnovers that he’s cut down on that he’s you know he’s playing smarter to me than he had throughout his whole career he’s not making as many Reckless plays now what you got to find is how to get the combination which they

Should be working on this off season is how can we get the long balls the Dynam Josh with the smarter Josh had they hit some of those big plays yesterday you might be feeling like oh we got it but that’s what they need to be working on

And so I I thought it was impressive what Joe Brady has done let me the last thing the one game when they won six out of their last seven including yesterday’s loss the one game he threw for over no games he threw for 250 yards except one against Miami and he threw

Two turn two turn so he had 300 something yards against Miami but two interceptions so they got to find that that happy medium yeah I’m I’m with you brw I I I don’t this is change how I view Josh Allen I think he’s still that

Type of player that you want to have if you’re just saying what quarterbacks do you want and what do they provide well you’re going to mention a lot of the things that Josh Allen does so he still provides you that I understand what you’re saying as far as you got to let

Him be that guy because the highs are as high as they can get for any quarterback in this league but the lows are about as low as they can get for any quarterback when I look at him in this game in particular I don’t know if he played

Smart like he he there was moments but he has to be smarter and and I say this because you’re playing against Patrick Mahomes that last drive that I saw with him I felt like the throw that you say he underthrew I think he got hit and it

Kind of f short I I feel like you got to play with that within mind Patrick Mahomes is on the other sideline so there’s no doubt in my mind you take you take the digs underneath route and you hold the ball and you keep it away from

That guy that’s on the other sideline that has burned me with 13 seconds on the clock like those types of things is where I feel like he has to take the next leap in order to beat that guy that’s on the other sideline wearing the

15 in red okay he had no big plays no plays over 20 yards yeah fourth time in his whole career that’s happened they they I mean like you said brw the only game he’s had monster numbers he had the bunch of turnover what if Stefon catches it’s all you can ask for you

Might miss it yeah last week you were in rough shape buddy missed it I told you I told you that guy might miss it I told you we might miss it we get a first down the game’s over let’s go got it we’re going on live from New York it’s the show problem

What’s the problem why did you rewind it and then I did not do that people accuse me that too I don’t even have rewinding that TV a damn you would never come over ever the second hour first DayDay God sometimes I want to hit Greg

And then I realized not a great idea was right it’s not a good idea to hit anybody well yeah but wor IDE for certain people RAR was right all along on the Ravens meanwhile that is correct after this game-winning drive and backto back NFC Championship game appearances

Is it time for Nick to finally believe in the man that we call Brock birie but right now momes Dodges the bills Defenders Dodges the bills Mafia snowballs and Dodges Greg Jennings disbelief as the cheats go into Buffalo and dispatch of Josh Allen 27 to 24 Greg

You’re going to kick us off here are you ready to admit and I added a little bit here are you ready to admit the Chiefs are a scary team and you were dead wrong no I’m not ready to okay what I am can can I finish what I am ready to admit is

That if you’re the Baltimore Ravens and you are just any team that is out and just watching you are probably saying uh-oh here we go yeah because the path for them to get to this AFC Championship Game albe it the Dolphins injuries on that defensive side

Of the ball I’m not discounting what the Chiefs have been able to do crazy only the bills defensive injuries what the Chiefs the reason why I can’t discount it is because I didn’t believe that they would even be good enough to overcome that no you said they

Were the Eagles I did I compared them to the Eagles I I know what I said I will say say all so for me you might want to scoot over here for me when I watch this team it’s like they just flipped the switch Yeah and because of the opponents that

They were able to play albeit regardless of what was going on with those teams it gave them an opportunity to find their Mojo to get their engine rolling and to get on the same page the Dolphins game it was like okay they found it you saw

Rasid rice emerge and it was like was all pro then Travis Kelce says uh wait a minute guys don’t forget about me I’m back mvs comes in and he and now you’re looking if you’re the Baltimore Ravens and I know you had a great game but you’re the coaching staff and you’re

Look really they they want to find their offense now all of a sudden so it’s are they terrifying no but they have that guy and it makes you kind of say a little scared uh oh no look I mean you know I’ve been saying throughout the

Last few weeks a healthy respect I don’t care how bad the Chiefs looked if they get in the tournament you got to have a healthy respect for them and so what you see is the heart of a champion I still don’t think they’re as good as some of

Those pre these previous Chiefs teams that won Super Bowls but they got the heart of a champion they still got Mahomes at his best Kelsey steps up in the big moment yeah the Run game with Pacho cuz when they lost one to Buffalo earlier in the year p man p is good yeah

That dude is is is a beast for a thin looking dude but they they they are playing well I think the defense I didn’t think their defense was as good as I expected yesterday like what impressed me most was the receivers stepped up Rashi obviously made a couple

Plays but mvs made some plays obviously Kelsey the defense got run on and obviously Baltimore is a great run team so that would concern me a little if I’m the Chiefs that their defense got run on so much but the offense was the big question mark and they played well yeah

So whether or not the media is scared of them their opponents are and you saw it in the game first play of the game the bills fumble third play of the game they’re already in uh gosh we better score every possession mode where Josh Allen seven yards past the line of

Scrimmage throws a lateral across the field like what Kelsey did against with Tony except a Kelsey was legal even if Tony wasn’t and B that was with a minute left down four out with 1350 left in the first quarter good play was a great play it was also illegal I mean it just

Wasn’t it they would want to see but regardless okay what about later in the game fake punt fake punt three-point game in the fourth quarter what about the final drive of the game where Shawn McDermot and Joe Brady were operating like the number one goals to make sure

Patrick doesn’t touch the ball rather than the number one goals score damn points so the other team is scared as far as the defense goes they got run on I think it was by Design because you can’t take everything away from a good off you don’t get run on by okay well

Let me explain to you how many 20 yard plays do the bills have zero so that’s the fourth time in the Josh Allen era so if you are going to make sure you give up no big plays you got to give up something and so what they gave up was

The Run Lanes like you can’t I think they could have done a better job against the run and then potentially gotten hit over the top said they didn’t here’s what I do know no matter who they’re playing in the second half over the last two months they’ve shut everyone down

Everyone down four points allowed in the second half that’s on defense and then on offense you have this guy in okay yeah that’s that’s right the best playoff quarterback ever and so statistically so of course they’re scary of like the other team I and this is where I’ll ask you

Brew and I know you believe in the Ravens and you have been on the Ravens and correct on the Ravens all year see and you would have believed in the Ravens against either of these teams you as a Ravens guy and or the Ravens themselves they’re hosting the winner

Who are they rooting for at the end of that game not at the before it and when when the bills are driving the field at the end who are they rooting for you don’t want to momes exactly whoa whoa whoa number but I would say but I would

Say this this is the reason again now Buffalo this was not one of their typical are you going to get a a game do you get a d or F game they played I thought they played solid but homes is more consistent Buffalo might have gone

To Baltimore laid an egg that’s they do that they’re up and down the Chiefs are going to play you going to have to beat the Chiefs your answer reflects someone who hasn’t played in the locker room with these guys all go ahead they don’t care who they play they do not care but

I’m just saying you they don’t care who they they don’t at this point you don’t care who comes in there ask Patrick queen that question okay who hard rooting for he’s not rooting for it doesn’t matter what we’re saying what we’re saying I hear you on that they

Just as fans fans who do you think is more dangerous to them between Buffalo and Kansas City fans because of because of what Patrick Mahomes has done yes say but as far as players man it doesn’t matter it doesn’t matter who you bring in here we feel like we have the team I

I agree with that but let me just ask this cuz you’re right I I haven’t played I know it shocks people the ners win Saturday night yeah the ners there’s no one in the Niners locker room watching bucks Lions saying let’s go Big Show like there there’s no element of we

Think we can beat either but there is an easier path and we would prefer have that I think that’s LeBron’s in Cleveland Houston’s giv Detroit or giv Golden State all types rooting for’s go hard crew Mahomes and quarterback was actually rooting for the harder matchup remember he wanted Josh

Allen he wanted he he said he thought that the Bengals were harder but he wanted them cuz they talk so much trash that’s right yeah the franchise hadn’t been the same since then true just hasn’t sorry M headed to the AFC Championship as Patrick Queen like I

Said for the six time going to say he would take get Patrick Queen on the phone by the end of the show call Raven PR uh Brady has the record eight straight what does this mean for Mahomes Legacy now that he’s at number six well so forget the straight part because yeah

Brady’s record is eight straight but Patrick Mahomes now has been to as many Conference Championship Games as John Elway stach and Terry bretel he is behind only Montana and Brady that’s it pretty good he’s been there 100% of the games of his career and for me Greg the

Method in which he got there which was another come from behind Victory another fourth quarter comeback and now can we we show momes trailing by seven in the postseason cuz these numbers he’s won 80% the rest of the league since he came in the league wins just over 177% okay

What about I think everyone would agree at this point this is the Mount Rushmore of quarterbacks okay Brady Montana Payton and momes Brady’s considered the best comeback guy ever he was 10 and 11 Montana 40% Payton 25 % so it’s just every sing the fact that his worst year

At the minimum you are in the final four is a massive part of his legacy yeah for me this is this is huge because when you look at Patrick Mahomes and and his Kansas City run so thus far this is the worst version of The A Team that he’s

Been on in terms of adversity youth all the things like we’ve questioned so much about this team All Season I’m not going to say we I’ve questioned so much about this team all season long and for him and I said this earlier in the year and

To you if if he was able to win with this team this would be probably his his number one feat his best accomplishment as a quarterback in this league giving what he’s already accomplished doing it with this team this version of the Chiefs and that offense this would be

His best accomplishment I mean it’s great and as time goes on and debating goats or you know him versus so and so this will be a factor but if they lose next weekend it’s nice but see and I’m saying this because and we talk about es

Bob the Chiefs are es Bob and so is momes like Mahomes to me is sbob and MVP that’s it like there’s no nothing less and and he is chasing Tom Brady everybody else is in a different race they’re chasing Mahomes or whoever the top team is that year he is chasing top

Eight so it’s like LeBron it’s great to get to 10 finals I mean that’s impressive but you got to he only won four So you you’re chasing Jordan who has six so I’m just saying it’s it’s impressive I don’t want to belittle it but for him it’s Super Bowl I would

Agree with you entirely if it wasn’t the team they beat to get there vanquishing a rival an alleged rival is important and so the fact that now I think the bills are going to be in something of a tough off SE with some significant changes is is in a different spot than

Say buffalo had lost in the previous round and this round it was they were playing Houston can I say one other thing real quick that I’m shocked no one has ever mentioned but now that the Chiefs have officially eliminated the bills for the third time in four years

Wilds what’s the most famous curse in sports history I would say it’s my Red Sox curse of the Bambino and why what the the the history of that is what who well we unfortunately traded uh Babe Ruth it was it wasn’t a the idea was one

Team traded away the guy who was the greatest player ever okay am I the only person who remembers how Patrick Mahomes became a Kan City chief who did not have a quarterback and traded the pick because it was Buffalo and everyone has acted like oh it worked out for everyone

Cuz the next year the Bills got Josh Allen spoiler alert guys it didn’t work out at all for everyone it worked out amazingly for the Chiefs and the bills who had Tyrod Taylor love him but had him we’re like nah don’t need a quarterback this year we’ll trade the

Pick and so nobody ever like that and so the Red Sox were cursed for 90 years because they traded the best player ever how’s everything things gone for Buffalo since they traded momes well there a lot of hard just for the they were before that as well yeah they straight Super

Bowl losses you don’t get to exp something else what else happened in Buffalo we got to get in Dusty Dusty after you call Buffalo start digging into Buffalo sports curses please welcome back to an electric show Kyle’s Shanahan famously 0 and 30 went down by seven or more entering the fourth

Quarter but now that stat is irrelevant Mr Irrelevant that is like that see what you did there without Debo Brock pie triumphantly put the team on his back and won the game for the 49ers here he is postgame when you go back later on in your life and you watch that final drive

In this game with yourself leading your team to the end NFC Championship game what are you going to see yeah I mean obviously it’s four quarters for a reason you know so the way I started it’s like man I got to I got to be better you got to play efficient

Football but when it comes down to it when The Season’s on the line like you got to you got to make it happen for your boys around you so when I watch a film down the road in my life you know it’ll be a good one to Wast okay Brew

Are you more or less confident in San Francisco I’m just going to say this if you had asked me a month ago could Detroit potentially beat San Francisco I i’ have been like no way now I’ll give him a slim chance just a slim chance yeah I mean Detroit shown me something

They’re tough I got San Francisco in this boys no I’m just you I never know what’s coming from behind um I’m a little less more less a little less confident and it’s it’s not pry I mean he play if it rains that could be a factor I mean seriously like

He struggles it seems like although he was big down understand but the defense the defense was not as dominant again they were dominant against the run in the regular season and yesterday or this weekend they got run on and Detroit has a great run game and and they didn’t get to love

Either so if they don’t get to golf he obviously is good when he doesn’t have pressure so I’m a little less confident I feel you know I’m picking him by mhm you know 10 toes down but I’m a little less confident than I was we didn’t know

That by the way we how are we going to know you’re going to pick the ners they’re not your team have Monday how know oh youry oh okay’s your guy I’m definitely less confident they don’t look like the bullies like that’s right all all season long we were

Talking about how physical this team is how they impose they will how they they dictate the terms of which you play the game that’s that’s not going be the case against Detroit like Detroit is the same way they want to dictate the terms in which you play this game and I believe

That they can with what we saw you talk about and I got to stop talking to you before the show you start taking some of little when you look at this defensive line and their inability to get after the the pass thrower like you can’t do

That with Jared G you can’t allow them to run the ball and not get after Jared G and give them play action and all the things that they have going on offensively for Detroit so if I look at this team and then I see on top of that

The little Cherry that sits on top their quarterback play like that Brock pie he had one he had one good drive and everybody wants to be excited and say oh my gosh did you see that last Drive yeah but I I Detroit is watching the entire

Tape like do you see that I could take that’s that’s big six so there’s I think there’s I agree with a lot of what you guys are saying but in but there’s two elements that neither one of you guys mentioned that I think are the most important you have to be less confident

Now that Debo Samuel’s hurt Deo I understand they overcame it at the end of the game but you s instantly saw his now PR seemed to be a little shaky even before Debo went out but you saw how important that is but the other reason is this even if they get past Detroit

Given how the AFC bracket has fallen you can’t feel confident Brew are they sbob the ners they have to be there’s a fourth NFC title game in 5 years they have to be well they could play Baltimore who beat the snot out of them a month ago or they could play a Chief’s

Team that at that point everyone will be saying well God Dogg it look at who they you know and by the way that’s Andy reading in shanan in a Super Bowl shanan already blew to him once another time when he had a very good well all-around team whose quarterback held him back now

The pry part to me is intriguing in this regard because he made I think ERS fans less confident that he’s going to come out and just run the shanan offense oh he throws to his anticipatory throws you guys don’t understand you don’t watch football that that stuff I think they’re

More nervous about that but they do have to now be a little more confident that they’re not drawing dead if they’re trailing entering the fourth quarter and so that part’s Fair like that was you got there no and some of that sh of course guys one and 30 yeah I think more

Than and some of it I think almost all of it except one so nuts uh all right we’re going to go to break and then I’m going to ask Greg a question who has more at stake in the first things first bowl next oh look at the picture snuck in

There what happens when we put the last pick in the draft in the NFC Championship subscribe to find out medal time Celtics Rockets Jaylen Brown tries this self alleyoop which is all the rage it usually works that time it didn’t but the Celtics still won not enough for

Medal no it was not very tough to go to Metal s this week and bronze medal Isaiah Pacho 111 yards total a touchdown in a win silver medal who is it going to be Devin Booker no Travis Kelce 5 for 75 two touchdowns breaking the Brady grank

Playoff record and then a gold who could it be any guesses anybody Patrick momes oh my goodness gracious two touchdowns n yards per attempt 131 rating and the longest run of the game by either quarterback there is the metal stand from this weekend in the association be

Honest with you you didn’t get my permission for that but not bad okay I there’s a reason I didn’t get your permission I didn’t hate it I would have I would have shot it down though I know okay uh dude the logos are purple and red man also in the AFC Championship

Dude pass that Ravens favored by more than a field goal and what is being dubbed honestly just here yeah as the first first brard of course has had the Ravens the entire time Nick is from Kansas City and if you look up there by that Arrowhead old KW ostra wait what are you

Doing ostracized but still there not leaving your shoulder Brew who has more on the line for this self-created uh it’s it’s clearly Nick because like you say he’s from Kansas City this is his whole life he’s been a Chiefs fan I just I mean I I lately I picked the Ravens

Before the season I believe in them but I’m just saying a lifetime versus a season that’s what we’re looking at so interesting what are we talking about I don’t know I don’t even know what we’re talking about it’s a house money game for the Chiefs I agree house money

They’re The Underdogs they’re on the road the Ravens are the one SE the Ravens are the favorite the Chiefs are are you I have heard all year long about how the Ravens are a juggernaut they could if not for a they LED every game of the two-minute warning they could

Have gone 17 and0 if not for a few bounces of the ball in the three losses heard it all year and I heard all year about how Nick you’re you have Chiefs you’re waving pom poms you have Chiefs colors blinders on this is a team with a

Broken offense that no one’s afraid of so obviously the guy who picked the one seed who’s the favorite who has never wered all year think they make the play doubting them doubting the Chiefs all year like come on this is a layup brw’s happy the Chiefs won I’m sure it’s an easier match

Up for his Ravens it’s obviously Brew should be you why should it be me thank you w because we’re like a chief show we’re a part-time Raven show it might be me honestly cuz you invited me over and they don’t even want me I got I got no home speak it’s up next
