Jets-Colts Game Preview (10/12)

We talked about all things Colts, all offense, defense, What is Andrew luck this year? How has he been performing? Will get Stevens takes. But first things first is I have to rewind the clock here for a second because on last week's pod, e A had of bold prediction. Roll the audio and they're bound to hit at some point. But I really think Greens the Jets are gonna have to have success. Moving to football on the ground and watched two nine. I think Blow Paul could have a

big game. Yeah, that's right. E A said to nine blow Power is gonna have a big game against the Denver Broncos. He wasn't wrong, but Isaiah crow Hell really stole the show there. Hey, anytime a guy rushes for a hundred yards and then they took a couple back when the Jets were running out the clock he did. Okay, I know it got off to a tough start for not only Blow but the entire Jets team because it

came out a little bit slow out of the gate. Again, but who could have forecasted Isaiah Coroel going for a franchise record to nineteen and any time you control the line of scrimmage, which the big Uglies did and rush for three hundred and twenty three yards, which, oh, by the way, was the second most. And for Chise history and Greens, this franchise been around since nineteen sixty and you know, I know you're getting a little bit older,

but you aren't around in those early days. That's saying something. Yes, he did, he did, He contributed to the victory. The Crow flew higher than any other back in the franchise history. Well, we'll get e as slight prediction before we close up shop here, But I think that the whole game was shocking. But you can say you can point to some scheduling

in the National Football League at times. And you had Denver coming off an emotional game, a divisional contest against Kansas City where they blew a fourth quarter lead, and they hung around here at MetLife for a quarter, but they really didn't put up too much resistance. You have to give credit to the Jets offensive line for a number of reasons. The running game is obviously the one that's sitting at the fore front of of everyone's mind

just because of what Isaiahawllen belal Pal did. But from a past protection standpoint, the line held up very, very strong against Von Miller and Bradley Chubb, which is debateably the top pair of bookend pass rushers in the NFL. They're up there. It's early potential wise, like a couple of years. They might know I'm Miller's great, There's no doubt about that. And they got their hands on a

couple of balls. But you have to credit I would give a game ball to the entire coaching staff because the Jets out coached the Broncos in a big way. You go for three three on the ground. The other thing is you took your shots up top. Jeremy Bates did, and he got a couple touchdowns. From Sam Donald to Robbie Anderson, and that is going to be on film. Now, what our defense is going to do when you face the Jets? Are you gonna put an extra safety in

a box? If you do, you're rolling the dice out there. You might as well go to Vegas because that means no safety over the top on Robby Anderson. And how about the efficiency of Donald when you're talking about ten completion three go for scores? Yeah, Donald. I think what most fans are most impressive about his Sand Donald performance is the fact that he took chunk shots chunk plays when they presented themselves. But other than that, I thought

he was very conservative in a good way. Not not not in a sense of checkdown check down because you don't want to take a shot, but very efficient with where he moved the ball. I think the next step for him is just gonna be maybe not scoring chunk plays. But I think that I was thinking about this. I don't think that Jets really worked the middle of the

field a whole lot. I'm not saying they needed to, but I think that it was a good step in the right direction because you saw the playbook opening up a little bit and I'm excited to see what happens Sunday for a number of reasons, but mostly because the last time the Jets won there was a three game slide. So how are the Jets gonna respond to this victory. I think that that's gonna be a very telling factor. And this is the game so far off the season for the Jet. For Bradley Roby, I kind of feel

bad for him. It's uh, Robbie, he loaned him to sleep on that first touchdown, I think, and then the second one he beat him and it was a perfect pass from Donald to use his eyes well, going to the right and then coming back to the left and dropping a diamond there. And defensively, I thought the Jets were very good. I thought they're gonna have some problems early against it. Broncos formidable run game. Philip Lindsay was getting a couple uh nice games out there, but they

shut it down. And then Todd Bowles, who was calling plays in place of the ill Casey Rogers, Uh, he did some nice things too, because I think the Jets gotta lead. And then he started started seeing them using some twists and stunts up front, and Winter Williams had a couple of sacks the Jets at four sacks and all, and then I started my little soliloquy here talking about Roby. You gotta give the Jets defensive back some credit too.

I know the Broncos they got some yardage late, but listen, Truemay Johnson not playing that game is out with a quad injury. So Darryl Roberts filled in and he played a good game. And then Perry Nickerson got some very valuable run for Buster Screen at the nickel position. You know, I think that you have to give a lot of credit to a lot of different places on the Jets team because I think that all three phases played very well. And I think that this upcoming week is a big

test for the Jets. I think it's the biggest game of the season just because we saw what happened after Detroit and what's gonna happen after beating the Broncos. I don't know. But you can't say. But you can't say it's the biggest game of the season when you said that last week, because weeks the biggest game of the season, trick question, there was no question. But he can't say that because really, I think if you look back, and we will. After sixteen game regular season, this was a

pivotal ball game you had to win against Denver. That was a team who was two and two coming off a short week. And conversely, the Jets were on a three game slide and they were starting a three game homestand they needed something positive to happen. This is what I think about this weekend is that I think it's a swing game in the sense of I don't even know if that makes say, if you know what I'm trying to say when I say, I'm gonna gonna ask

you to explain it. So what I mean by that is it's one of those games where if the Jets are able to stack two wins together back to back, I think it just kind of changes the mood and the feeling internally. Externally more so in the sense that you start to put some games together. Now you're getting real juice for when the Minnesota Vikings come around and then going to Chicago and as the season goes on

and on. But I think it's just one of those games where it may only be one game, but I think there's a little more at stake than just a winner a loss, and that you can you can say to say, I don't say that. I think you can't say that, because again you're here, you're falling for the trap. You are falling for the truth talking about me personally or the team. No, you are I don't think the team well. But but no, because again, then when are

you gonna say next week that the Vikings game is bigger? No? No, I think that this is really taking a larger step than just their Let's be clear about something. And we watched the Colts Thursday night, and the thing I told you I think was last Friday is that Indianapolis is gonna play for sixty minutes. I don't know how many games are gonna win, but Andrew Locke is by one of the top performers in the National Football League this season. They are rebuilding or building or however you want to

say it. But every game, Make no mistake, the Colts could win this game, make no mistake about it. This is profession, no football, and this cold steam could have beat Cincinnati lost by one point. They'd a lead in that game. They were at the four yard line against Philly defunded Super Bowl champion in their building. Oh, by the way, could have won that game. Frank Wright decided to go for it in overtime, which I like his aggression against Houston at home. Any of those games could

have went the other way. So this Colts team keeps on coming at you. Uh, matchups. We just watched what Connor McGregor and this Kobib guy in Las Vegas over the weekend. Styles make fights. Styles make fights, and the Jets have to contend with the different style this weekend.

I think the run game could give the Colts a lot of issues, but luck no matter who he's throwing a ball too, and the two guys I think the Jets have to make sure that they take care of, especially if t Y Helton is not in a lineup. Is Eric Ebron, the former first round pick in Detroit. He showed up on Thursday night a couple of touchdowns over Hunter Arabs receivers, and I him hides from n see state of course he's been an oppressive rookie back.

All right, without further ado, let's go to Stephen Holder of the Athletic. All right, talking to Stephen Holder now of the Athletic. Stephen is this Colts team to me at least? And I think to e A as well. It's just very interesting because you look at the record, it's one and four, but you look at the team and it seems like it's a team that plays hard for sixty minutes with a new coach and Andrew luck back. So how would you describe this team through five games? Yeah,

I think that's a fair description. Look, you are what your record says, and I'm a faid believer in that. So I don't think the Cults are a good team right now, but I think they're on their way to becoming that. And I don't think they're very far away. They're they're really going, uh right now a team that can't finish games, and it's because they just don't have enough to get it done right now. But but they

have enough to to be competitive every Sunday. And you know, even with all their injuries right now, which are which are really piling up, they're still finding a way to be competitive. So I think the key has been you know, we knew this would be every building year, but it was hard to sort of project how competitive they would be, especially given andrew lux situation coming off that year long

absence at quarterback. But he's been fabulous really through five weeks, and I think that has kind of changed the conversation. And and now it's evident they're really not that far away from being a team that's a factor. But again, they got to prove they can get it done. They're so young on both sides of the ball, and that's really I think a big part of of why they're women for right now and why they haven't been able to make those plays to close games. So many things

to get to you here. I got so many questions about the Colts and the Jets and the connections, but you mentioned Luck. What were your expectations for him going into the season. What were the organization's expectations for him? Had he entered the season? And has he surpassed maybe what you had thought we would see out of Andrew Luck here early And how delighted is the organization as far as what they're seeing here early on from him

in two thousand eighteen. Okay, So it's interesting. I remember throughout the spring and summer just getting consistent like confidence, like I mean both confidence from from upper management about their outlook for and Luck. And I didn't understand it. I thought they were crazy. Okay, I was gonna set yourself up for trouble again here. Okay, it wasn't that I didn't believe he was coming back. I never thought

there was those things. I had enough reporting and enough evidence to know that that there has been like legitimate progress with his arm, with his shoulder, and then I knew that that is showing it was in a much first better place, much much stronger. You can look at him physically throughout the off season and say, Okay, that guy looks like he's going to play football. Last year that was not the case. He looked clearly like he had been out for months. But all that being said,

I mean I hadn't seen him do it. So at the end of the day, I mean, it's about playing football, not about you know how much events press. So I needed to actually see him throw a football and anything after that. After we saw him throw a football, oh, at the end of O t A, at the end of mini camp, which has been early to mid June, I mean, he wasn't rowing forcedly. He was he was conducting or participating I should say, in individual drills only. And really, you know, we've all spent a lot of

time at football practice. We know that individual drills are not really uh it's not a real replication of what you're gonna do on Sunday. So that was the extent of what I've seen. So I was willing to believe that he was gonna play. I didn't necessarily not believe it. I just didn't think that he would be where he needed to be. I thought this would be a really

gradual process. Range. Look, then we got the training camp and literally the first day of training camp was his first time taking full team snaps since two thousands sixteen. And here was the vault all over the place. And I was like stunned. I mean, it wasn't perfect, and it wasn't you know, necessarily in sync, but he was doing it, and it was like, all right, well, maybe we were wrong. And I think every day you started

to see it more and more. Even though I would say by the end of training camp in the preseason, I still thought it would be a slow start for Andrew luck. I just you know, he didn't play a lot of snaps. He played about thirties five well, I said today, the first couple of preseason, he didn't play a lot. He did play a lot in his and and we've got a good look at him. But but he had a really uh throwing the ball down the field very much. Uh, it was very much a short

passing game. They had a left tackle injury, which they still have, so they were protecting him a little bit. And so I don't think we saw the full breath of the offense, and we hadn't seen the full breath of what Andrew Luck could do. So I figured, Okay, they're gonna baby him for a while here. He's not really back, and I thought that process would take some time. And then he came out and see the open ball fifty times, so everything got blown out of the water

and I realized I was completely wrong. But he's defied expectations for me at least. And look, he's not perfect yet. I think you'll see them throwing where he's out of sync with his receivers, in part because they're new guys. But I just think that comes from having a long layoff. But I think in terms of his ability to place the ball, I mean, if you watched the Thursday night against the Patriot, I mean either of the best balls

he's thrown this year. I was toringly impressed, and they had no business even being in that football game missing probably you know, I would say six or seven of their top ten or twelve players, So I mean it was it was very impressive, no pun intended. Are they putting too much on Andrew's luck shoulders right now? Well,

it's it's happening because of the situation. I think when you're when you're missing, you're starting left half, when you're starting running back, your Pro Bowl tight end, you're missing, uh, your a Pro Bowl receiver right now, t Y Hilton, it's very very much in question for this Sunday. I don't feel good about him playing at all. So obviously they have a lot going on in the injury department.

It's not just because moments, and Frank Rich will tell you that and he goes out of his way to make it clear no one cares about our injuries, and he's right, but that doesn't mean we can't take them into account. So yeah, right now, Anti Luck is having to look he's from the ball in twenty times last game. It's insane. I've never seen anything like it. And part of that is certainly the game situations, falling behind a couple of times, going to overtime against Houston last week.

So it's a unique set of circumstances. Granted, and it's not something that's going to happen every week. But they aren't having a lot of success running the football. Well, that's putting more on the passing game. Uh. They have been behind at times, so that puts pressure on the quarterback. There's just been a lot of situations that where yeah, I do agree with you, I think unintentionally it is falling on Anti Luck. What I would say though, is he is getting more help than he's gotten in the

past from his defense. Now, the Patriots put up some points last week and that was a little bit out of character for the defense. But I do think for week the week, the defense is giving them a chance. Even the previous game against Houston, I believe they scored seven thirty eight points in that game, but four team of those points came off turnovers, one in the end

zone and one inside the teary line. So the defense has given them a chance and that's where and wos getting a little bit of a lift from right now. So in fact, in some cases on some Sundays, it's a situation where the offense isn't carrying its ownly. So, so we'll see what happens on this Sunday. But but I do think it would certainly behooved them to get a running game going and take some of that pressure off. Andrew can't continue to throw the ball at this rate,

whether his soldier is a per cent or not. It's just not really conducive to winning football. That was just it's unbelievable. I want to you mentioned the defense. I don't think that a lot of fans know a whole lot about the Colts defense, and so I want to know is what's the identity of the defense and what what do the players try to do? How do you try to take away an offense from the Colt's perspective?

And for fans that don't know, is Darius Leonard? I mean, my god, this guy's really taking the NFL by storm. Is how good is Darius Leonard? Well, I'll start with your first question. Look, the defense is very reminiscent to to what you saw with the Colts under Tony Dungee. Actually ironically so it's very similar to that, very similar to what Lovey Smith ran with the Chicago Bears, and those are very simplistic schemes there's not a lot of pressures,

there's not a lot of coverage. Is they're pretty basic and they're not gonna bring a lot of a lot of blizzes. There's not a lot of complex packages. So I think what you're gonna see is they're about running and hitting basically it. I mean, there's some complexities in it, and they do have some things that they'll they'll they'll sort of scheme up and and throw at you from week to week. But it's not gonna be a ton

you know what you're going to get. I mean, as as the coaches have told me on numerous occasions, you know, we do what we do. So it's not a mystery to anyone. Uh, the chest coaches are not going to look at this team defensively on film and be confused. Like it's not that confusing, frankly. So it's really about, look, we we believe. This is their philosophy is we believe we can get to the football, get three or four guys to the football and prevent the big plays. And

that's really the essence of it. It's been relatively effective. I do think one of the things that the Colts have really struggled with the last two season is just giving up huge plays. That's something that I think has been corralsed a little bit this year. So I think that is an indication of this scheme having intended effect. Now what can happen is a lot of times teams can kind of uh you can kind of end up dying by papercut if you will, and and maybe not

getting off the field. So they are a little bit of an undersized defense, so that sometimes works against them. Uh they you know, they certainly play a lot of zero so teams that that are sort of guilt to beat zones, they tend to have some success. So there are they can be beat right and and they're not a finished product by any stretch. But I do like the concept and and they're playing it well. It's really about not pulling anybody. It's just about doing what you

do at a very very high level. That's the defense. So you mentioned Darius Leonard. This is not a defense with a lot of household names. I mean very very very few. Uh. Millie Cooker is maybe a guy people know. He's the first round pick coming off an a c L a little bit of a slow start, but he I think has immense potential. But other than him, there's not a ton of guys on this team that you

really would consider household names. But Darius Leonard I think is gonna be one of those names here pretty soon. This guy's having He did miss Thursday night's game against England, but this guy is having an incredible season so far. He's he's already gotten buzz I think from people who have watched him. He talked to some endless and they're talking about Rookie of the year buzz for this guy. I don't think it's UH two. I don't think it's

too bold at all to to make those kinds of proclamations. UM. What he is basically a sideline to scideline player. UM. In my earlier in my career career, I covered the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and they had Derek Brooks playing week side linebacker. Right, he's got Derrick Brooks. I'm not suggesting that, but he plays a style very similar to Derek Brooks. He's great in coverage, he just finds the football. And so that's sort of my UH blueprint for that position,

the weak side linebacker in this particular scheme. My blueprint is Derek Brooks and he fits that blueprint. Not in terms of talent, he's not there yet. I mean, that's that's Crazy's the guys in the hall same. But what I am saying is he plays that style of football and it's the perfect fit for this scheme. So between the scheme fit and just his football i Q which

is really really off the charts. He's running the defensive huddle, Uh, he's he's wearing the green dot on the helmet's he's I think a guy who has already really earned his coaches trust as a rookie twenty three years old. All those things combine, I think make him just a really really great prospect, and the culture drives with him. So when you say those Tony Dongee lud defenses and Love Smith, I'm thinking four three cover two, run to the football,

play with speed and ferocity. With that being said, the Jets just rushed for three three yards. Do you think they're They're running game poses a threat to the Colts defense that is predicated on speed. Yeah, And I think those are the matchups that these kinds of schemes have trouble, right, And I remember, uh, the year the Colts went to the Super Bowl, the first Super Bowl under oh, well, I guess I was gonna say first under Tony Dungee, Tony Dundee's loan Super Bowl in two thousand and six.

There was the run up to that. They had certainly a game where the Jacksonville Jaguars rush for three hundred yards and and there were a lot of doubts going into that postseason, like how is this team going, how is this defense wanted to hold up? You know, and they were able to sort of pull it together and and make that run into the postseason and win the Super Bowl ultimately. But I do think that is an example of of where this scheme can be problematic. So

we'll see. I mean, they haven't played a ton of really run heavy teams, but the Patriots did have some success there and I still mixed in and we one had some success for Cincinnati. So I think that's their challenge. I think there they are a team that that's gonna make it difficult for you to throw the ball down the field. Again that yeah, yeah, well that's that's kind of the calling card. But but I think the one area where you can exploit this scheme is with a

power running game. So that's gonna be the test. Stephen. What's been the fall out there in American's heartland after the St. Patrick's Day trade? Is the Jets went up to number three overall. The Colts moved back, picking up Quentin Nelson from Notre Dame, an offensive lineman who could be a really good one, a fixture up in front of Andrew Luck for maybe the next time to fifteen years. And then they picked up a three second round picks in the process. Of course, Yeah, I tell you what

I mean. I thought fans really had a reaction to that, to that trade, and you know, you know, with fins, never know how these things are gonna go. And I was pleasantly surprised. I thought people really had an open mind about it, and they understood that this was a long term vision and in order to execute your long term visions, well you need draft picks. And that's what

this was about. This was about draft picks. And yet they were still able to get the player they loved in Clinton Nelson, and they were willing to take that risk that be there. I think it was, you know, a pretty reasonable risk to take given the needs of the players in front of them. So or the teams in front of them, so they forecasted it perfectly, the Colts, and they were able to pick up some extra picks. They feel good about their their hall of second rounders.

I mean they've got they picked. They had four second rounders this year, and they feel pretty good about all those guys. So they were able to really hit some important spots to the football team, various learners one of those second round picks, for example. So they feel great about it, and I think they should. I think they

did a pretty good job. These guys are Obviously the jury still out on all those young players, but if you're trying to rebuild a roster, the the quickest way to do it is to get an accumulation of draft picks. And and that has been the goal for j M because Ballard his first two drafts, and that trade with the Jets was a huge part of that. Yeah, I think both teams are gonna look back at the straight in five seven years and they're both going to be happy.

I think it's a win win, and and that's really the best case scenario. I thought that way when it happened, and of course at that point you're forecasting. But now that we have something to look back on. I think it's really truly is shaping up that way, and and I think both teams got the best of both worlds out of this. I think they're both very happy and should be speaking of the best world. Do you think the Colts were fortunate the way that all played out?

Josh McDaniels ended up staying in New England, of course, but the Colts came right back and got a guy who I think it's been very impressive so far in a frank right, because the Colts, like you mentioned before, and then been in every game. Yes, they lost to New England by four team points, but you look at these other losses on the schedule, whether whether that be Cincinnati an opening day, I think that's a one point game, Philadelphia was a couple of point game, Houston overtime game.

Rich seems like he's got that moving in the right direction. Yeah. And here's another fun fact other than the New England game, I'm talking about the the loft is outside of New England. So Cincinnati, Houston, and Philadelphia, the Colts were driving for the win on their last possession. I think in each case under a minute ago, we're driving for the win and just for various reasons, didn't get it done. Un Philadelphia, they got to the four yard line that stopped on downs.

I mean, it was just a tragic way to lose. But in the event, I do think that, yes, Frank Wright is a really great fit for this team. As I said, they're really young, so I think leadership is huge for this team. And look, I don't know Josh McDaniels. I don't know. I don't have a personal relationship with the guy, but I think the questions about him are our areas where they were there was a very important

questions to be answered for this team. In other words, what I mean by that is, you know, lead us hip, uh bringing you know, sort of bringing character to that locker room. Can he do that? You know, I don't know, can you get it? You can get players to follow him at tough times things like that. Those are questions that I think we're we're difficult to answer about Josh McDaniels. What I liked about the possible higher was offensively he was going to get answered about going I mean, I

had no doubts about that, So that's great. But here the culture getting that from Frank Raich. They're getting a guy with really interesting offensive scheme okay, really innovative, are very uh, very analytics driven, much like Douck Peterson and

Philly I think, really cutting edge stuff offensively. They're getting that, but they're also getting what seems to be a really I think a great leader of men in Frank Rich who uh, I think from day one really got his guys to buy in and and that was hard to do. I mean, after what happened. I mean, you're the second choice, you're the fallback plan, and you've got to get these guys to come on board and to buy into what you're selling. And he was able to do that right away.

So he just I think has had a compelling message for his players that they have been just willing to follow him. As I said, from day one, it has never been an issue, and that's a credit to Frank Wright. The final question on my end here, Stephen, is that Marcus Hunt is someone that I think fans are somewhat familiar with, and I think NFL fans are somewhat familiar with. But what's gone on from your perspective in the resurgence of Marcus Hunt as one of the very good d

linemen of his class. It's astounding. I don't, I don't know how this happened. Marcus Hunt was on this team last year and I barely called his name. I don't even know if I really storried about Marcus Unt. He just wasn't really a factor. And you know, he always had sort of a special team's presence, so that was

always helpful to keep him on a roster. He could give you some some good snaps, whether a defensive end or at the interior spot, and you know, maybe as a depth player, but certainly wasn't a frontline player this year. There's a combination of things. Um, it's uh, it's a change in scheme. He really has adapted well to it. I don't. I think he's played the four or three before, but not in this style of fortnery. So this is more of a more of an attacking scheme. Get up

the field, get off the ball. Uh. It's not a uh they're they're playing in the gaps, they're shooting gaps and and basically it's this in uh, what they're asking from their defensive linemen. So he adapts well to that, and then he's just getting more opportunity I looked back at his snap counts over the years, and this is, I mean, by fur the most Marcus Hunt has ever played. It's last year Cincinnati, if I remember correctly, he played about fifteen percent of the defensive snaps and it's really

hard too much in that situation. Now, you could argue he didn't earn more snaps, and that's probably what the Bengals would tell you. Uh, And that's that's fine, that's not that's not an illegitimate argument. I think that's very fair. But the fact of the matter is he's getting opportunities and he's making most of them, and I think that builds confidence. And he just looks really comfortable right now. And the other thing is he's stills a versatility. He

started off the year defensive end. Uh, some injuries popped up and they asked him to play three technique defensive tackle. Well, that ended up being very productive for Marcus Hunt, and so he's actually now spending more time there. The Colts really liked that spot for him, so uh, they're they're fine with it. They're ready for him to keep this up.

That is Stephen Holder of the Athletic. You can follow him on Twitter at holder, Stephen with a pH not in f Stephen, thank you so much for coming on the Official Jets Podcast and we'll see you Sunday alright, looking forward to it. Thanks for having me, Thanks Stephen. Okay, so, green's a big picture here for the Jets. Damn an opportunity to get to three and three in the biggest game ever. As you're calling that, well, you could almost call it the Super Bowl, no pun intended. We will

get there in a second. But how about this. Miami's playing the Bears. Bears are in Chicago. I don't know where that game is and I don't know I don't have it. And New England is playing Kansas City. I'm excited to watch that game. That's football. There is a chance the Jets could be sitting there Sunday night at three and three. The Dolphins could be three and three, The Patriots could be three and three. The Patriots will score. Are they gonna be able to score enough against that

freak Patty Mahomes and company? Okay, this the threes thing is really blowing my mind here with the three and three, the three and three, the Jets straight up from six to three and oh, by the way, the Jets are honoring the team of Super Bowl three. There is some weird stuff going on right now. That's not weird because that's fifty but it's Super Bowl three fifty years And if you haven't checked out that podcast with Bob Letterer,

that's posted as well, so check that out. Jets colts. Oh, everybody's asking me about uniforms all the time, white on white, gray face masks like they did January twelve night. But but the decals not changing, right, No, just just making sure because some fans is gonna be like, are they the old helmets? No. The final score, I'm very excited at sixteen and seven. Could you imagine if that was the final score of this game? Now, that would bring

the house down A lot of festivities this weekend. The Super Bowl three team, we'll be here um throughout the weekend. I think they arrived on Friday and Saturday will be out here after walk through and then Saturday night Chris Berman is hosting at dinner at Life Stadium. The Q and A is going to be broadcast live stream live on some Jets platforms. Sunday, we gotta breakfast um, and then you gotta check out pregame Central and eleven a m. There's a lot going on.

The Bills are taking baby steps right now, and they're winning with their

defense and want two of their last three games. You can't forget about them and the equation so early in the season. But I'm just saying, there is a chance you could be looking at all these teams that sitting there within three and three.

watch Kansas City put one on New England. I think that's what we're all rooting for. So you're saying there's a chance. Dumb and Dumber a great movie but that's all we have here.
