00:00I was bothered by those that were calling Josh Allen a choke artist because I don't
00:06Fault him with this the situation whatever the number is five of the last six or whatever
00:12I you've been there. It's not on Josh Allen. It's on and Curtis you brought it up early this morning
00:18It's on Sean McDermott. Yeah, I to me and this is gonna shock many people
00:25but
00:26The bills should hire Bill Belichick hmm
00:31Like what a waste how many years are you gonna have Josh Allen for maybe five more years on an up?
00:37You know optimistic view yeah
00:40You're wasting these years by having a guy. That's like. Oh, I told the guys. I love them. No
00:46you you another year you failed to get where you belong and
00:51I listen Josh Allen if you can tell me things he did wrong yesterday. You're smarter
00:56I I thought Mahomes was brilliant. I thought Allen was better, but I
01:01Have a question generally about sports fandom
01:06Would you rather be a Bills fan today or a Patriots fan?
01:10And I asked that in the context of you know can I pick commanders? No?
01:17In the context of
01:20What you have endured the last four or five years with the Patriots they stunk
01:25That you haven't had your hopes up they played like garbage, and you were getting a quarterback with the Bills. It's like
01:32Agony, I would rather be a Pats fan same
01:35Because you still have all though that 20 years to go back and relive the glory days on like if you're a Bills fan right
01:41Now you just feel like this pit year after year
01:45Yeah, it's just you know I mean the you're on the only team in NFL history that went to four straight Super Bowls and lost
01:52You're asking you're asking the question when it comes to future though Curtis right like what's no like
01:56It just isn't not ignoring the past ignoring the championships just as a fan
02:01Would you rather be?
02:03supportive of a team that gets close and tears your heart out or
02:07Be a fan of the Patriots who just kind of stink and you want rather be a Bills fan
02:11Yeah, I'd rather be if you're saying don't take the hit don't take the past into consideration
02:16I'd rather be a Bills fan because you got Josh Allen
02:20Yeah, the future we've got Drake May so I I'm gonna stick with the Patriots thing too because this and I know this is such
02:26Loser mentality, but sitting next to my dear friend John who's a massive Bills fan and watching just the pain and hurt on his face
02:33Yeah, it I was feeling great. I was feeling great. Yeah, but when you want Josh Allen rather than Josh
02:39I don't know you keep telling me that the future of Drake May is Josh Allen
02:43Well, that's what he could be
02:45But if you're saying as a fan, I could be the fan of the guy that I'm hoping my guy becomes
02:51I would much rather be the fan of of
02:54Josh Allen, you know if I had to choose right now without that without their past I would say this though
03:01As I put I give every Josh Allen a ton of credit. I think he's had a tremendous year. I think he's spot-on
03:08But I think you'd have to ask yourself and yeah part of it is the coach
03:12But would we would we hold the same type of energy for
03:19Any other player at his level who got the ball back?
03:23with three minutes and 33 seconds to go three timeouts and
03:27Wasn't able to get his team in position to at least tie the game
03:32To go into over like he made the throw the guy just didn't catch it like no
03:36No, I think but that throw was an
03:40Unbelievable Hail Mary at the point leading up to that. There are a couple incomplete passes that maybe if you go through his progression
03:46He could have did differently. It wasn't perfect. But but again the ball should have been caught
03:51No, it should have been great
03:53But I'm talking about leading up to that fourth down throw it off your back foot and hope that you know
03:58It comes down and a guy has a chance leading up to that
04:01There was a couple plays where maybe did and I don't know because I haven't looked at the all 22
04:07Did he make the right decision? Did he do this? All I'm saying is that if
04:12You know you talk about a quarterback of that caliber
04:16Getting the ball back with three minutes to go. Yeah three timeouts
04:19I think the expectations are you should be able to move your team down and feel go right? This is Nathan from Kansas City
04:26Hello, Nathan
04:28How are you guys doing? I'm not as good as you are. Oh
04:32No, I'm not a I'm a Patriots fan my dad's been a Patriots fan since he was 16 just living here it sucks
04:41Division rival of
04:43The Chiefs or not guess of the Bills. I've never rooted for the Bills more of my life
04:48and I was just gonna question is this a
04:52Dynasty in the making or is this a dynasty being made by the refs? And what do you guys think about it?
04:58We've talked about it a lot this morning Scheim and Wiggy say that we're whining you are
05:05No
05:06Legitimacy in that argument. Yeah, there's bad calls and every but I don't think the game was so egregious
05:11I got I always go back to you had an opportunity to tie that game up you have
05:18One of the top three quarterbacks in the NFL you give them the ball with three times if I were to say
05:25They if the Chiefs were down by three and
05:30The rules will reverse
05:32Does Patrick Mahomes drive his team down get him in the field goal range and give him an opportunity to go into overtime or even?
05:38Drive his team down and put him in position to go up because he scored the go-ahead touchdown more than likely
05:45Yes, right would Brady have done that right?
05:47I would go back Wiggy your point is best with that Patriots AFC title game in 2018 where literally
05:53You knew whoever had the ball last was gonna get the touchdown in the final minutes of that fourth quarter were
06:01Unbelievable the Patriots scored to go ahead with what like 40 seconds left and the Chiefs went down got a field goal the Patriots
06:07Won the toss got the ball and you knew if Brady didn't get those three third and tens
06:12That Mahomes was gonna come down the field and that's that's why they are equals
06:16And that's and that's and that's why I like that's why I don't bet on Mahomes
06:20Because until Josh Allen could prove that he could do that
06:24But don't you think they Wiggy in a way took the ball out of Josh's hand especially like on that third down play like what?
06:30Are we doing running a tunnel screen on third down?
06:33But if you if you go back and you look at it
06:36There's a second down play where he scrambles a little bit it the passes up the passes it falls
06:42Incomplete all I'm saying is that when you look at Brady and you look at Mahomes
06:48right now and those situate and Josh had the perfect opportunity and
06:53Maybe Joe Brady got to do a better job of calling plays and I get it
06:57But there's still got to be this thing where if Josh doesn't like to play change it at the line of scrimmage
07:03You know, you have that type of capability. Do you want an ink of itch on this? Sure. Hi Robert
07:10Hey, what's up guys what's going on?
07:14Taking a car up to Nashua
07:16Zr1 Corvette
07:18So Lex, this is my thought. This is my thought. I want to just put this out there
07:23we have
07:25indoor golf
07:27tournaments where they track a ball and they know how far it is and they have fake rough and they have sand and they
07:34Have all this credit they have tennis
07:36they have these tennis matches where they show the ball in the line and where the balls at and it's
07:43instantaneous and
07:44We have a multi-billion dollar NFL that can't figure out if the ball crosses the first down
07:52Marker or not. Yep. I
07:54Could not agree. What are we doing? We're talking about it's Elon Musk can put a chip in the human brain
08:00Why can't you put a chip in the football?
08:03Easy I remember I don't know if you guys remember back in the like the 90s early 2000s
08:09They put like a highlighter on a hockey puck and you can see where the puck was at all times and eventually they did
08:14Away with it, but at least they tried something right? It was different to where you could follow the puck
08:19There is so much technology now if you're in school
08:23You could go AI and type in give me a summary of the tipping point and it'll just shoot you out an essay
08:28You just turn it in get a plus like
08:31There has to be a way
08:33To figure out what's the first down? What's a touchdown?
08:37What's not and take the human element out of the referees that say?
08:41Oh, no be short and changes the whole outcome of the game, which I mean at the end of the day
08:47Yes, everyone has an opportunity. You have three minutes 30 seconds on the clock
08:51You got the ball go score win the game and they didn't do it
08:54But still I mean jeez there's these moments where you're like pulling your hair out
08:58Just wanting the right call to be made
09:00Maybe I could get a ball that lights up as soon as it breaks the play or passes the first down explodes
09:06It just lights up into a different color and everybody in the building knows. Okay, that's a first down or a touchdown
09:12Nick what does my homes have to do?
09:14What does my homes have to do to catch Brady in your mind Niko?
09:16What is how many Super Bowls for my homes before you could actually have the conversation about goat?
09:22Well, here's the deal Tom had like three careers, right?
09:26he had three almost like three separate careers and chapters of his career and
09:33Right now Patrick Mahomes everything's, you know, everything's groovy. Everything's gravy. Everything's great
09:38But I want to see him it gets a little older when those hits start piling up when those old, you know
09:44Get knocked out things come back to him when he's in his late 30s
09:48Because Tom was still playing at a crazy elite level in his 40s
09:52And if he could get to if he could get to six Super Bowls, right and
09:57Then get to some type of crazy statistics in his late 30s early 40s
10:03Then you could say okay like he's overtaking him. But right now
10:07It's the gravy train of the NFL. You have to admit that the NFL of today is way easier
10:14Than it was ten years ago. You're not getting the hits. You're not taking the contact
10:19They're calling all these PI calls and touching the you know, legal contacts and defenses really are limited
10:26Versus ten years ago where if you threw the ball a little bit too far in the middle of field
10:30The guy was getting his head taken off. So I
10:34Think it's you have to put a little asterisk towards
10:38This these statistics are a little easier to get than they were 10 15 20 years ago
10:44Rob Nickovich great to hear your voice. Thanks for checking in on the drop
10:47What kind of a Corvette was it?
10:50This is a 2019 zr1 Corvette manual transmission. So they've gone crazy through the roof on
10:56On all the valuations, so I've had one for about four years now. I'm thinking about throwing it up at auction
11:02We'll see. All right, go get you the z06
