00:00The final quarter plus overtime of cincinnati and denver was one of the better moments of the nfl season
00:06And it kept the bangles hopes alive along with miami and indianapolis
00:10It means now that the denver broncos are going to have to win their football game
00:14Almost assuredly in week 18 against the kansas city chiefs because they would then need
00:20Miami and indianapolis to lose one of the next two and cincinnati. It's just they need to win that football game
00:25So much played out
00:28so many
00:29Decisions that people are uncertain of by coaches there
00:34Give it just what was your biggest takeaway donnie from cincinnati denver
00:39That the bangles are a scary team if they get into the playoffs because that offense can play with anybody
00:44But at the same time you see the deficiencies in that defense including late on a fourth and one you throw it up in the air
00:49One guy's going to make a play between two defenders and they wind up in extras
00:53And also you take a look at the field goal kicker, which you're not supposed to worry about but late in the season
00:58Missing clutch kicks from like 30 yards off the upright that can't happen
01:02But for my money the broncos probably played it the way I didn't think the broncos would win this football game and they didn't
01:07But as we talked about earlier kansas city on deck week 18 at home
01:10You should be able to handle your business
01:12But for me, I don't think the bangles are getting there. But also kevin from a side point larger
01:16teagans
01:1711 for 131 three touchdowns. They basically told this man before the season. We're not going to pay you here
01:24Unbelievable joe it really is and you heard joe burrow after the game step up and and say how important
01:30You know t higgins was to the offense. They supposedly has the same agent as jamar chase
01:35So whether a deal gets done remains to be seen
01:37But at the end of the day if you're cincinnati, you better have one of those players on your sidelines
01:42To allow joe burrow to throw the football in terms of 2025 if they're going to make the playoffs I agree with donny
01:49Potentially they could go toe-to-toe with anybody
01:52There's still an incomplete football team have concerns about zach taylor as a head coach have major concerns about the defense
01:58But as long as joe burrow throws for 412
02:01Three touchdowns and you have t higgins and jamar chase healthy and you see gusicki with 80 90 yards yesterday
02:08They could go toe-to-toe with any defense in terms of the afc, yeah burrow is having a
02:13mvp caliber season
02:16Undeniably, I think there is an argument that he deserves league mvp
02:21He very well could finish his season with
02:255 000 passing yards and 45 plus touchdowns
02:29I mean that's mvp level like without a question. How many rushing touchdowns does he have? Does he have a chance for 50 total?
02:36He'd need six total touch. I don't know. He'd probably get it right. What do they have week is it pittsburgh?
02:41Which I mean listen if he finishes with 5 000 yards and 50 total touchdowns
02:47But I I don't know
02:48But you can you look at the team though like joe burrow is the best player in football probably like if you said right now
02:52I need one quarterback. He would take practice from my homes. Let's just say remove them
02:55It's joe burrow and it's by a landslide this team's 500
02:58Yeah, this guy is lighting up the scoreboard every week and his defense is so bad like that organization
03:03Yeah, if they would spend any money on defense to go we're gonna have a middling defense
03:08They probably have the number one overall seat. That's middling defense. That's what they thought they had though, right entering the season
03:13That's what carried them to to back-to-back afc championships. I I think it's a cincinnati team though
03:18where
03:19Because we don't they don't control their own destiny right and I know that's going to be tough for them
03:23Yeah, but you mentioned something with t higgins
03:26And to me and I know this will be unpopular coming off of a game with 11 131 and three
03:31They shouldn't even consider signing him for one second
03:35If you if joe burrow is as good as he is correct
03:37Which he is and chase is as good as he is and you got burton which he is
03:42There is no way
03:44Joe burrow needs the best receiver in football or second best and another guy who's like top 12. There's no way
03:51Higgins and chase are both better than any player on kansas city's offense any player on buffalo's offense
03:58And outside of derrick henry any player on baltimore's offense?
04:02There is absolutely no because lisi we're sad
04:05You're like why are things so bad because people want every single penny of this football team paid to burrow chase and higgins
04:11Yeah, you can't build a team that way. No, you have to do through scouting in college, right?
04:16So look at brian thomas or look at malik neighbors, right?
04:19Look at the seasons that they're performing you could allow stop looking at receivers
04:23They need to start looking at guys that play on defense
04:26Yes, but my point is to to make up for the productive
04:29Productivity if t higgins is going to walk out that door
04:32You have to draft accordingly and draft right to make sure that those players hit the ground now
04:37They did that they did that with jamar chase and t higgins
04:40So to your point if they're going to allow him to walk out the door and you believe that joe burrow and I do as well
04:45Can make everybody around him better because he's an elite mvp caliber type of quarterback
04:51Then you let him go you draft accordingly and find a second or a third rounder or potentially wherever you get your pick
04:59Of an elite wide receiver coming out of college and you develop them and at the end of the day
05:04You also have yoshi vas there that has stepped up for the most part in terms of that offense
05:09You have gesicki you could get somebody through free agency potentially
05:13But at the end of the day the defense has really let this team down
05:16And it started week one when you lose to the new england patriots and that type of offense
05:22It that really catapulted the whole season. It started on the wrong foot. They were never recovered since that point
05:28It is like as I say, okay, let's keep t higgins. You know what that means for cincinnati fans
05:31That means mike brown goes well
05:32I'm, just not going to pay jamar chase this year
05:34Let's see how he treats that going into the next year and also from a defensive standpoint
05:38They have one of the best edge pass rushers in football as a sack artist and they can't get stops
