Floria.

We'll get to your thoughts on the weekend in a little bit. I know you're still uh, sort of looking your wounds. Understandably, you're a little bit radio silence in the text chat the last couple of days, which I totally understand, Like I totally get it. I know you were in New York for a wedding and then flying back and everything. Uh, lak Wan, I will say this. I mean, I know that your team, you know, had a tough loss week before. As somebody who was a neutral observer, it was an enjoyable week. It was an entertaining weekend, right, Like it was sort of nice to just sit back and watch it because I couldn't met and watching really either of those games. If if I had a rooting interest, that would have been excruciating.

If if I had a rooting interest, that would have been excruciating.

Yeah, the sitting part was fun. Like you know, when the Rams are playing, we all know that I'm standing two inches from the TV screaming at it, like are you that?

Yeah, the sitting part was fun. Like you know, when the Rams are playing, we all know that I'm standing two inches from the TV screaming at it, like are you that?

Are you that person?

Are you that person?

Oh? I am that person? Yeah, one hundred percent, that is me. Playoff games on that way as well. Yeah, so it's so good to sit back, relax, you know, roof for my boy Floria. You know, I wanted the Bills to win also, but I don't know if I believe you. Wait, no, I don't believe yeah, playing that text.

You know, I wanted the Bills to win also, but I don't know if I believe you. Wait, no, I don't believe yeah, playing that text.

Yeah, so just for background, you know, we're all we are in a text chain and we're communicating before the games, and uh Laqwan basically said I should probably find the actual text, but essentially you implied that you wanted the Bills to go to the super Bowl and lose. Uh is what it was, which is like, look, man, if you have those intrusive thoughts, that's fine.

Yeah, so just for background, you know, we're all we are in a text chain and we're communicating before the games, and uh Laqwan basically said I should probably find the actual text, but essentially you implied that you wanted the Bills to go to the super Bowl and lose. Uh is what it was, which is like, look, man, if you have those intrusive thoughts, that's fine.

But maybe don't let them out next to a Bills fan. That's all I'm saying.

But maybe don't let them out next to a Bills fan. That's all I'm saying.

Right before the game too, literally right before checkoff. Yeah, that was bad time by me.

Right before the game too, literally right before checkoff. Yeah, that was bad time by me.

I promise you.

I promise you.

It wasn't meant for me what it was. And I read it later and I'm like, oh, yeah, I didn't mean that, brother. I get it because I do that a lot too.

It wasn't meant for me what it was. And I read it later and I'm like, oh, yeah, I didn't mean that, brother. I get it because I do that a lot too.

Well, I'll send a text and I'll be like, oh, they're gonna take that differently than how I I meant to say it.

Well, I'll send a text and I'll be like, oh, they're gonna take that differently than how I I meant to say it.

I just left it at that. I was like, no, he's probably gonna be so focused and pissed off.

I just left it at that. I was like, no, he's probably gonna be so focused and pissed off.

All right, So here was the Here was the actual text. It says, let's go Bills. Damn it would hate to see this historic run by Saquon got to waste just to be cheated in the Super Bowl. And I was like, wait a minute. So basically you want the Chiefs to lose and then the Eagles to beat the Bills. Like all right, I mean that's fine if that's how you feel, but maybe just don't say that with.

Florio like being able to read it.

That's all players mess up. Jersey Boys stick together.

That's all players mess up. Jersey Boys stick together.

I get it. Then.

I get it. Then.

Anyway, we will get into that game. Obviously, we'll talk about the NFC Championship game. Plus we'll continue our exit interviews Pick seven team through twenty. We are flying right along as we get ready to start pivoting our focus to the draft. What is it I think the phrase is using is recalibrate your eyes. I saw that in a couple of places on social media, recalibrate your eyes, and I'm like, okay, some of us wear glasses.

Let's not talk about that now.

Let's not talk about that now.

Let's start with some headlines because we had We've had some coaching moves in the last few days since we last spoke to you all. The Jaguars we're trying to hire Liam Cohen. Liam Cohen said, I'm not going there, trip Balki's.

Gonna be there.

Gonna be there.

So the Jaguars are like, hey, Balki hit the bricks. Hey Liam Cohen, come on in. So the former offensive coordinator of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is now the new head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Lakwan you said you had you saw the rundown, and you're like, oh, we're getting the hater stuff out of the way early. I know how you feel about Trevor Lawrence. I'm curious than what this Liam Cohen, who was a former Rams assistant.

He's part of the tree.

He's part of the tree.

What this means in your mind for trev and the rest of the Jags.

What this means in your mind for trev and the rest of the Jags.

The bars high bars high man coming from the McVeigh tree, I mean, you have to find success, and that's kind of been the trend set for some other guys that we won't mention. But more so, if he cannot fix Trevor Lawrence, can we just ultimately agree that Trevor Lawrence is not that guy. If he can't go there and fix that with the weapons he has around him, I don't think the problem is going to be any coach that they bring in there. It's the guy they just paid that hefty contract. So let me put on my buck nasty, the nastiest hater of two thousand. I just feel like, if Trevor Lawrence can't go out there and perform at a higher level, this will literally be my last time in any league trying to invest to him.

I don't I don't know, Floria.

I don't I don't know, Floria.

I mean, I feel like we've all gotten past the Trevor Lawrence is that guy now. I think most of us are center on Trevor Lawrence is a jag. He's just a guy at this point.

I mean, I feel like we've all gotten past the Trevor Lawrence is that guy now. I think most of us are center on Trevor Lawrence is a jag. He's just a guy at this point.

Wow, he literally is a jag. But the fantasy street say otherwise, Fellas, please bro I've been inside, man, I ain't been outside. I have no idea marks outside.

Wow, he literally is a jag. But the fantasy street say otherwise, Fellas, please bro I've been inside, man, I ain't been outside. I have no idea marks outside.

I ain't been outside. I had no idea that people were still on it like that.

I ain't been outside. I had no idea that people were still on it like that.

No, I for one him not like there's a zero percent chance. I think he gets drafted as a QB one next year, Like I top fifteen is even in question, I'd argue, I mean, quarterback does thin out quicker than in the past. But I agree with Leakwalam, like this is his last chance, I think, not not only for fantasy purposes, for NFL purposes, Like I know his contract is going to get him a couple more years as the starter there, but like if he doesn't produce with Liam Cohen and two years from now or three years from now, whatever it takes, like they let go of Liam Collen, they're going in another direction. That's probably also the end of the Trevor Lawrence tenure in Jacksonville, i'd imagine. So this is kind of his last chance, but take it like to put it on the other offense. This is going to now be the third different offensive coordinator for Baker Mayfield in the Bucks in three years, so that offense keeps getting people hired.

Hopefully Dave can Allis had success going to Carolina. Maybe maybe Liam, But did you guys see Liam Cohen's duval It was the worst thing, awkward and embarrassing, cringe.

It's just not a great start, not a great start.

It's just not a great start, not a great start.

Low the frequency is not happy right now.

Low the frequency is not happy right now.

Yeah, I'm I'm sort of skeptical on this move just because, look, maybe it works out right and Liam Cohen is ready to step in and be the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars or any team really, right, I just am a little bit skeptical of a guy who has been an OC for two years, one of which he wasn't actually calling the plays. I mean, he was the offensive coordinator for the Rams, but we know Sean McVay is the one really pulling the strings on that whole thing, right, So granted, look, it was amazing to watch what Baker has done the last couple years, but as you pointed out Florio, He's gone through multiple offensive coordinators in the last couple of years, So maybe it's hard to attribute it to one guy when Mayfield and the Bucks are doing it with other guys calling the shots there. It just this feels like it feels like the Jaguar is sort of jaguarring right, like they waited forever to move on from their GM just so they could get a hire in there. They get the guy who is the hottest name left on the market and they make the move on it.

I just and I'm not rooting against.

I just and I'm not rooting against.

I don't have any skin in the game, but it just feels like this is It's like you say, you did your paper the night before, you know, and now you're turning it in and hoping that everything works out.

I don't have any skin in the game, but it just feels like this is It's like you say, you did your paper the night before, you know, and now you're turning it in and hoping that everything works out.

And I just I'm skeptical.

And I just I'm skeptical.

I think it's it's all about Trevor Lawrence in my opinion, like because I don't think this was a spot where like you want to bring in like like saying Mike Raybrowll or a Bill Belichick, a Pete Carroll something like that, where those guys are more like motivators defensive minded coaches. I think you you wanted the best possible offensive scheme you could get, because not only do we all think Lawrence was generational and they took him first overall, they also paid him a bunch of money, which is why I thought this landing spot was not one of the better ones like other people thought. But if Liam Cohen can get Trevor Lawrence to play anywhere close to the Trevor Lawrence we thought he would be, then this is all worth it. And if not, you're hitting the hard resets.

So I did.

So I did.

Giving you one more last ditch effort to get the most out of Lawrence.

Giving you one more last ditch effort to get the most out of Lawrence.

Is worth it.

Is worth it.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know how many hard resets. I mean, I guess it's infinite, right. The Jaguars can do as many hard resets as Shod Khan is willing to authorize.

Yeah, I mean, I don't know how many hard resets. I mean, I guess it's infinite, right. The Jaguars can do as many hard resets as Shod Khan is willing to authorize.

Just man, I don't know.

Just man, I don't know.

They don't have it out until twenty twenty nine on his deal.

They don't have it out until twenty twenty nine on his deal.

Great, so they're locked in. I mean they're locked in with the Trevor Lawrence for a while.

Great, so they're locked in. I mean they're locked in with the Trevor Lawrence for a while.

Sofully dude like that. Man, I'm gonna I'm gonna. I have to remember this so I can start using it on Fantasy Live next year.

We need it as a drop duo.

We need it as a drop duo.

Speaking of it, you mentioned Pete Carroll.

Speaking of it, you mentioned Pete Carroll.

Florio and the Raiders have hired Pete Carroll to be their next head coach. He will be the league's oldest head coach in league history when he turned seventy four in September. Look, Pete is a guy with boundless energy. I mean he will work over a piece of gum like nobody's business, you know, and like he's good to line up every now and do a drill. But Florio, he's seventy four. He's been out of coaching for a couple of years now our year, I guess now, and he's going to roster That is really kind of a mess. Their quarterback, the quarterback of the future, is not there. They've got running back issues. They've got you know, they got brock Bowers. We'll see if they have Max Crosby. I mean, I know, we're still waiting to see what the rest of the coaching staff is gonna look like.

They're in Las Vegas. But I don't know.

They're in Las Vegas. But I don't know.

And I love Pete Carroll, right, he did great things at my alma mater for a number of years. I can't get excited about Pete Carroll in Las Vegas, can you?

And I love Pete Carroll, right, he did great things at my alma mater for a number of years. I can't get excited about Pete Carroll in Las Vegas, can you?

No?

No?

No, Because as great as he was in Seattle, won the Super Bowl, like you said, did wonders with USC Look at his last three years in Seattle once they lost Russell Wilson, nine to eight was their best record that they went in any of those three seasons. And then with Geno Smith, they got they won more games this year, like after changing the head coach.

So uh, Carol, One thing is for sure, the Raiders will be motivated under him.

So uh, Carol, One thing is for sure, the Raiders will be motivated under him.

They are going to play hard. He gets the most.

They are going to play hard. He gets the most.

He's kind of like Jim Harbow in that sense, where like the players absolutely just love playing for him. But yeah, like I I have been because one, this roster is far from complete. It sounds like Max Crosby wants out, so like you're probably blowing things up in year one And I don't want to be mean, does a seventy three year old have that much time to rebuild? Like if this first year is a complete, like tear down, how long is he gonna get?

This feels like a hype move.

This feels like a hype move.

This also feels like a we knew we weren't gonna get Ben Johnson or Liam Cohen or these other guys, so let's make a splash for the next two years and maybe that's it. And look, I could easily be wrong, but I saw this and I was like, really that, Like this came out.

This also feels like a we knew we weren't gonna get Ben Johnson or Liam Cohen or these other guys, so let's make a splash for the next two years and maybe that's it. And look, I could easily be wrong, but I saw this and I was like, really that, Like this came out.

I don't know about you, guys. I don't think Carol was done in the NFL, Like this came out of nowhere.

I don't know about you, guys. I don't think Carol was done in the NFL, Like this came out of nowhere.

I mean I did, so.

I mean I did, so.

I figured he was just gonna ride off into the sunset, enjoy his post football life, I don't know, sitting by the ocean or something like that. Like that seems pretty awesome. To me, But I guess he still has the fire, I mean the quantity. The only thing I can really think about this is that this is a potentially coach in waiting situation, right that they hire Pete Carroll, he brings in a younger assistant, and then that's that's the guy that's that's coming up next, right, I mean, that's that's the only thing I can really think about.

Yeah, kind of build within and you know, see if they can go in house, or if they bring in another guy for an offensive coordinator, whatever the case may be. But I'm more excited for the antics that are already happening and unfolding. During the press conference, you get Raiders by Marshawn Lynch, So knowing that he will be in the building, I think it will be a little bit more you know, entertaining to see what's going on with the Raiders. But I mean, you guys like he'll be seventy four years old. But I honestly think he's a leader of men regardless of his age. I mean, we've seen him connect with the youngest. I mean, he connected with DK Metcalf off the top of the draft. They took a shirt off with him, like if somebody did that with me, Like I'm just like, oh, this guy's a vibe, Like I definitely only think, you know, they'll be motivated for him, but this is definitely like, hey, can you hold us over until we find the coach of the future. Can you hold us over when we find the quarterback for the future, because the quarterback it's going to be the most important thing for him in year one. I understand that, you know, this draft, like some people have their thoughts on of it, of some of the prospects not the best class kind of like a class of what they already have in house. But I definitely feel as though you give him some time or whatever how much time that he has there, it's like, all right, maybe he could build someone with these guys motivated playing hard for him.

At least maybe, so, Like I get it.

At least maybe, so, Like I get it.

This is Las Vegas, right, this this feels like your typical Vegas hope story. Like I'm gonna roll into this casino with twenty dollars and hope I hit a jackpot and can go big. That's what it is all on red right, Like Pete Carroll is like, you know, it's all it means, Like it's silver and black. Right, let's just put it all on black. Right, We're just gonna Caerrol is the guy. We're gonna throw twenty dollars down on black. We hope, hope that it hits and we just start building from there, because that's all I can really think of, uh with this group, because there's so much any pieces that they need mentioned, the quarterback, you know, the head coach of the future, whoever it's going to be, whether or not they can keep their best defensive player in town.

Oh boy, so many things.

Oh boy, so many things.

I mean, look, they got brock Bowers. You know, Jacoby Myers had a good season. I don't think anybody is expecting to build around Jacoby Myers's just a lot of work to do, a lot of work to do.

I mean, look, they got brock Bowers. You know, Jacoby Myers had a good season. I don't think anybody is expecting to build around Jacoby Myers's just a lot of work to do, a lot of work to do.

He's like, I'm the oldest coach in the NFL history. I'd be the youngest president in the last three terms.

But by the way, shout out to the AFC West because while everybody else is trying to get younger with their coaches, the coaches in the AFC West now are Pete Carroll, Sean Payton, Jim Harbaugh, and Andy Reid legendary.

Last bit of coaching news, the Dallas Cowboys have made a higher man. You want to talk about letdowns over letdowns, right, I mean, we had the potential for the Dion Sanders coach Prime Circus to hit Dallas, and.

Nice.

Nice.

I loved by the way, the the quote from I guess you might find the exact quote from Jerry Jones, which one I know they have actually been multiple, but the one that, uh, that really made me laugh because it just seemed.

I loved by the way, the the quote from I guess you might find the exact quote from Jerry Jones, which one I know they have actually been multiple, but the one that, uh, that really made me laugh because it just seemed.

Like the the least bit of an endorsement.

Like the the least bit of an endorsement.

It was something to the effect of he's been a career assistant, but he's no longer just Brian. He's now known as a head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. I'm just like, hey man, so like you, we're gonna move you off fries and now you get to be the night manager at a fast food joint.

You kind of don't want to watch football anymore. And that's kind of where he's at, Like he's just like we suck, like it is what it is. Like he doesn't take the franchise serious.

And then we'll be back at this again.

And then we'll be back at this again.

And then you midway through the season, when you know Dak has a four interception game, like, he'll go back and he'll throw the same jersey back in the trash all over again.

So wow, I'm looking at his career as an o C and one time they finished in the top ten in passing yards?

Is that the Rams at the end? It was twenty twenty three with the Cowboys. Oh wow, that's it.

Is that the Rams at the end? It was twenty twenty three with the Cowboys. Oh wow, that's it.

And that was that was the year where Dak had to throw the ball like fifteen hundred times. I mean like he was throwing the ball a lot, a lot that year.

Yeah. No, I mean Brian Schottenheimer was.

Yeah. No, I mean Brian Schottenheimer was.

I think the expectations is he's something of a figurehead and it's gonna be Jerry kind of pulling the strings on this whole thing for sure. All Right, we will have more as these stories develop and we get more idea what the coaching staffs are going to be.

I think the expectations is he's something of a figurehead and it's gonna be Jerry kind of pulling the strings on this whole thing for sure. All Right, we will have more as these stories develop and we get more idea what the coaching staffs are going to be.

Just the Cowboys, right, the stories developed.

Just the Cowboys, right, the stories developed.

That's the story. That's the story.

That's the story. That's the story.

That's developing, I guess. Speaking of the Cowboys, I think it's just two championship weekend and the NFC Championship game, which, as we mentioned last week was sort of a boy reunion. DA had quit against Kellen Moore, a couple of past Cowboys coordinators.

It looked bad early, you know.

It looked bad early, you know.

The Commanders go on a long drive to settle for a field goal, and Saquon rips off a touchdown run, you know, and then a turnover and the Cowboy or the Eagles get a touchdown, and it's just like, even though the Commanders sort of clawed back in, it never felt like they were really in danger of threatening. And in the end, the Eagles run off to a fifty five twenty three win. Sequon has a huge day, Jalen Hurts has a huge day. The Eagles are going back to the Super Bowl second time in three years. But as I like to do for these sorts of things, I always want to sort of talk about and eulogize the team that lost kind of put a bow on their season. So I'm gonna I'm gonna leave the AFC game and I'm just gonna let Florio go when we get to that point. So, Kwan, I'm gonna ask you about this one. Look at looking toward next year. We obviously love Jayden Daniels, expecting he's gonna a top five quarterback drafted in most leagues. Yeah, we love Terry McLaurin. He was great again this year, career year for him. But who else in this offense do we really get excited about for next year?

But who else in this offense do we really get excited about for next year?

Next year? I think this draft they have to address the wide receiver to a consistent wide receiver too. You love Deanny Brown his emergence end of the season big time, you know, in the playoffs, but more so, like I am excited for the Commander's offense as a hole for fantasy, just being that Jayden dans is the quarterback, Like that's one of the things that you want to mark off a hit in that draft, or like do they have a good quarterback? Do they have an awesome offense?

Yes?

Yes?

Check check check. So once they bring in a guy like a wide receiver two that I think that could be you know the counterpart of Terry McLaurin, because obviously you're drafting scary Terry. It's like you're just overall excited for this offense developing for what it is, because this is his rookie year, getting to the NFC championship, and he's been playing like he's a veteran, Like it's insane. So it's a you know, as a commander's rand, you would be happy and excited for next season, but for more so fantasy, I'm gonna be taking my picks as I can because I can see these guys being a discount because again, everybody's paying sophomore slump. Nah, I don't think that's happening to with JD.

Yeah, I don't. I don't know if I worried Florie so much about the sophomore slump with Daniels, but it really is, like, okay, so obviously we're drafting Daniels, we're drafting McLaurin. Like, how much are we really buying into zach Ertz who was their number two pass catcher this year, right, I mean he's thirty four. We're gonna be thirty five next season, you know. I know people took some late dart throws at Ben Sinnett, who had that nice catch on the fake punt in the game, but Ryan Robinson was okay, I mean above expectations, but just okay, Austin Eckler looks like the decline is probably underway right now. I just don't see any other real targets besides Daniels and McLaurin in this offense that I want for next.

Year as of now. A lot.

Year as of now. A lot.

It's gonna change, I think, because the Commanders have the third most cap heading into free agency, so I I think if you are them, you're thinking exactly what we're saying. Like, Jayden took us to the NFC Championship game and a year where we were coming off having the number two overall pick, and like I know, early in the year, a lot bounced their way. You had the Hail Mary against the Bears. You had a number of plays that just were like, Okay, this is probably not sustainable. But then at the end of the year, I thought Jayden took another step forward and his processing, the way he was seeing the field was incredible to the point where I think he is already a top five not fantasy quarterback, because that's a lock. I think he is a top five real life quarterback. And that's saying a lot because the top four are already a slam dunk. You ask anyone they're gonna give you the same four names. So I think he's better than everyone. Maybe it's like Hayman Hurts or something like that, battling for that fit spot.

But yeah, I think you get him a little bit more help on offense and you're good to go. But yeah, I felt so bad for him because he had this team in this game three he fumbles by other players that were lost. That just took any chance he had of winning that game away. But I thought he impressed me so much as playoffs and they'll be back better next year. Although you guys were bigger on him than I was, Like what happened to Brian Robinson this year? Because it looked like halfway through the year he just he lost all of his capability of how to run injuries. What was it? His knee, his ankle? I mean that he was going through it like he was just bruised up.

I mean that he was going through it like he was just bruised up.

Yeah, I mean that had a lot to do with it, because he just, you know, he started out great. I mean to the point that we were like, oh, I guess, I guess Austin Echler is just not going to be a thing. But he had knee issues, he had hamstring issues. I think that just sort of took its toll over the course of the season. That and the fact that once Jaden Daniels took off, there was just less reason to really lean on him.

Yeah, I mean that had a lot to do with it, because he just, you know, he started out great. I mean to the point that we were like, oh, I guess, I guess Austin Echler is just not going to be a thing.

That and the fact that once Jaden Daniels took off, there was just less reason to really lean on him.

I don't. I don't think he prepared for a long season. Let's just say that.

I don't. I don't think he prepared for a long season. Let's just say that.

I don't. I mean, look, let's be honest.

I don't. I mean, look, let's be honest.

I mean I know that, I know that in the building they'll talk about it like, hey, this is our goal, but I think realistically, like, yeah, no, I need to talk At the beginning of the year, was you know, the battle for the basement of the NFC East is it the Commanders isn't a giant, so you know, yeah, the Eagles were supposed to be there. We thought the Cowboys would be better than it turned out to be.

We thought the Cowboys would be better than it turned out to be.

I've already seen people saying like this was the Commander's one chance, and I'm like, no, if you have a top quarterback like this, your your window is as open as as long as Jaden is playing at this level.

I've already seen people saying like this was the Commander's one chance, and I'm like, no, if you have a top quarterback like this, your your window is as open as as long as Jaden is playing at this level.

Ten years you got with JD. And that is a finger I'm.

Ten years you got with JD. And that is a finger I'm.

Not gonna go.

Not gonna go.

I'm not going ten. I'm not ready to put ten years on it right now. That's that's you know, how long ten years is, bro.

I'm not going ten. I'm not ready to put ten years on it right now. That's that's you know, how long ten years is, bro.

Like, yes, my son is eight now I'm almost We're not even ten years into the Lamar Alan Burrow errors. Okay, like I'm putting. I'm putting twenty on ten right now that I'm hotting, I'm potting. This is what I call if he says healthy.

Like, yes, my son is eight now I'm almost We're not even ten years into the Lamar Alan Burrow errors. Okay, like I'm putting. I'm putting twenty on ten right now that I'm hotting, I'm potting. This is what I call if he says healthy.

Yeah, I'm just looking at the like the top five, some of the top movies in twenty fifteen, right, I mean San Andreas, right, the Transporter refueled, not even the original Transport, like one of the multiple sequels, like the mark. Ten years is a long time bro, That's all I'm saying.

Yeah, I'm just looking at the like the top five, some of the top movies in twenty fifteen, right, I mean San Andreas, right, the Transporter refueled, not even the original Transport, like one of the multiple sequels, like the mark. Ten years is a long time bro, That's all I'm saying.

When when you said ten years ago, like I was like twenty ten and I'm like ten years ago, so like you know, like my brain doesn't, twenty fifteen is ten years Like the Mets were in the World Series ten years ago.

When when you said ten years ago, like I was like twenty ten and I'm like ten years ago, so like you know, like my brain doesn't, twenty fifteen is ten years Like the Mets were in the World Series ten years ago.

Yeah, that is crazy to a long time bro.

Yeah, that is crazy to a long time bro.

Ah.

Ah.

Okay, So Chiefs thirty two Bills twenty nine, Michael left Florio, The Flora is yours.

Okay, So Chiefs thirty two Bills twenty nine, Michael left Florio, The Flora is yours.

My thoughts are pretty much the same as what they have been at the end of each of the last three Chiefs since. Okay, in twenty twenty, the Chiefs whooped the Bills the Bills.

My thoughts are pretty much the same as what they have been at the end of each of the last three Chiefs since. Okay, in twenty twenty, the Chiefs whooped the Bills the Bills.

Were there a year early.

Were there a year early.

I don't count that one. The three sents, the thirteen seconds last year in Buffalo, and then on Sunday, they've all come down to the same thing.

I don't count that one. The three sents, the thirteen seconds last year in Buffalo, and then on Sunday, they've all come down to the same thing.

In my opinion, Uh.

In my opinion, Uh.

The narrative is going to be that Alan cannot beat Mahomes. And look, maybe I'm biased and stuff like that, but I watched those three games and I'm like, you're gonna tell me that the reason the Bills lost these games is because of seventeen. Like I know, look, he did not play great in the first half this week. He was definitely way too antsy. He had a couple of bad throws that got away from him, but then he had a couple of amazing plays to throw the touchdown to mccollins, the one inside the five to mac collins, the deep throat of Khaliel Shakir. And I know people are mad about the Toush push and stuff like that. I don't think people realize how much success the Bills had with the Toush push this year. Like it was legitimately unstoppable. It was a free first down every time they did it, or a free touchdown every time they did it. The Chiefs are just smarter and they are just better. They loaded up on the left side because something I've said a lot is like Josh Goo's left every single time, and the Chiefs were prepared for that.

But then you had Gregory.

But then you had Gregory.

Russo and I believe it was Torrents on the O line came out and they both and well defensive player, both were like We've never seen some of the stuff the Chiefs have done before. Like that, I think Andy Reid and Spags are the greatest coaching duo that I've ever seen together because like what the Patriots, it was all Belichick and the coordinators kept changing. Spags is a genius and is a huge portion of the success. Chris Jones is the best defensive playoff performer I have ever seen. He had seven QB pressures in the first half alone. The Bills had three as a team. He has worth more than that entire Bills D line. And this is something I've said for a while now. McDermott, I'm not even on the I was in the past. I think he has improved, and even more than that, I don't think there's any better options out there, so I don't think they move on. But he has shown us time and time again that Andy Reid is going to run circles around his defense every single time they meet up in the playoffs, and then the supporting cast I think shows up even more so. While Mahomes is the best, he's on him and he's chasing Brady, everyone else is chasing Mahomes.

I agree with that.

I agree with that.

To me, when you compare these teams, the gap at quarterback is so much closer, in my opinion, than it is at coach. It is on defense and it is on special teams. So, yeah, the Bills got beat. I did think it was a first down.

I was very annoyed that the first ref spotted it as a first and then they changed it, and yeah, like, I know why people are mad about the refs. There's that played.

I was very annoyed that the first ref spotted it as a first and then they changed it, and yeah, like, I know why people are mad about the refs. There's that played.

There was the catch, which I thought was ridiculous, like if both guys are fighting for it, it hits the ground. To me, that's as incomplete as incomplete could be. You had holes on special team that punt return. They gave them a free second to take it to the two minute warning.

Like what was that about?

Like what was that about?

So I see why people are upset about the refs, But this did not come down to the refs. Josh Allen had a chance to win the game. Steve Spagnola's defense showed up up. But if Dawn Kinkaid catches that ball, we are talking about that being the best throw of Josh Allen's career. And then you see the end zone angle the next morning it comes out and it's like, Yo, that was a great throw. Like Kinkaid was there, it hit him off the hands, and I tweeted, I was like, time is a depressing flat circle because last season against the Chiefs, Josh Allen made the throat of Stefon Diggs.

That went through his hand. He made the throat to Trent Sherfield that went through his hand. So like, while the narrative is that the quarterback can't get the job done, to me as someone who watches it extremely close, and my hands were sweating, my knees were shaking on that final drive like it's everyone else, in my opinion, more so letting Josh down than it is Josh letting the Buffalo Bills down.

I think that pretty much covers it.

I think that pretty much covers it.

I'll say this, I saw something from Pat Doherty, Rotto Pat, who I thought summed up with Sean McDermott, is basically like you know, he's like in the past, I think you could.

I'll say this, I saw something from Pat Doherty, Rotto Pat, who I thought summed up with Sean McDermott, is basically like you know, he's like in the past, I think you could.

Put some of the losses on Sean McDermott.

Put some of the losses on Sean McDermott.

Probably not necessarily this, but have the Bills reached the point of hey man, maybe we risk a downgrade, but maybe it's time just to see what somebody else can do, which sort of sounds like where you've been with McDermott for a while now.

Yes, I think the thirteen second game, which again like, oh, Alan can't beat Mahomes, let's not rewrite history, like he did not leave the field that they lead with thirteen seconds left and never touched the ball. Again like, yes, he can beat Patrick Mahomes. He's done it more than anyone has.

I think that moment has poisoned McDermott in the locker room until this season, I felt like McDermott finally made all the adjustments that we wanted. I don't think he'll ever be able to beat Andy Reid. I've lost faith in that.

Like, I know, we could say this isn't on him, but the Chiefs scored eight season high points in this game. The Chiefs have averaged thirty five per game against the Bills in the playoffs. The d lion continues to not show up every time they play. But I was down to make a change when it was like we could bring in Ben Johnson or someone like that that I thought maybe could put us over the top. I who's out there, like Bill Belichick? I I think he one.

It's all futile as well. They are not firing Sean McDermott. I can guarantee you that today. So yeah, they're going to be back next year. I'm hoping they make a lot of changes because they finally have cap and stuff like that. But I until they I'm at the point now where until they beat the Chiefs, I'm sure next season I'll be like this is it's different this year. But right now I'm like, yeah, the Chiefs have deserved it, like they But what I was saying to Lakwan before the show was like, the Bills are going to take it on the chin this week, But point to me the team that has beaten Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs.

I mean, Lakwan, of the three of us, you're the only ones sitting here whose team has not been victimized by Mahomes in the postseason.

I don't have that secret hatred forms. I just don't want the Chiefs to hit the three people.

I don't think for most of America it's hatred. It's just fatigue. Yeah, I think I think everybody's just tired.

I think it's more. I think it's getting to hatred because of like the whole ref narrative and right or wrong. Please point to me the last significant crucial call that didn't go the Chiefs with against the Patriots in twenty nineteen, like or twenty eighteen whenever that was. It's all politics, man, there's politics in sports. It is what it is. He's on the right side of it.

Yeah, sure, we're gonna say, breaking back to our exit interviews were still stuff to dive it those be a beefy first block. We'll get into the rest of it here just a second on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. All right, now that we've had that moment of Catharsis, we get back into the business of exit interviews as we dive into picks seventeen through twenty coming up here in the NFL Draft, which I was reminded by the way it's in Green Bay. I've never been to Green Bay, Wisconsin. I hear it's lovely, especially if you're a Packer fan. I feel like being outdoors in Green Bay, Wisconsin in April might not be great.

Let's start the pick number seventeen with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Joe Burrow absolutely, especially in the latter part of the season. I just shy of five thousand passing yards, forty three touchdowns, nine interceptions. He was the QB four Jamar Chase over seventeen hundred receiving yards.

One, Lakwan, I know you have said you are not under any circumstances taking a running back in the first round. Is Jamar Chase here one dot zero one?

Yes, he is?

By default consensus. Probably we get closer to summer, it's one on one Jamar Chase.

I think that's my safest take in the last couple of years.

I think that's my safest take in the last couple of years.

He's gonna be one of the more lukewarm takes out there, if you would be like, yeah, okay, sure. Chase Brown had more than thirteen hundred scrimmage yards. He had eleven total touchdowns. He was the RB ten. Te Higgins, who was banged up at times this year when he was healthy, has certainly played well seventy three catches, nine hundred and eleven yards, ten receiving touchdowns. He was the wide receiver twenty two. The things that went wrong Zach Moss, who was not playing particularly well at the beginning, Vin had a neck injury and went on the IR after nine games, finished as the RB fifty. So Florida, I know te Higgins is out there free agency. Joe Burrow has certainly made the point that he wants him to come back. I'm sure Bengals fans would love to have him back. But if he does not come back, does that one? Does that lock in Jamar Chase as the undisputed one, dot one and two?
