00:00hey boomer hey good morning are we allowed to call this another victory monday or did you guys
00:04celebrate on friday well it was kind of victory friday although there are still some non-believers
00:11like uh like cam cam newton called this team fool's gold oh really he did huh yes well i mean
00:21everybody's uh can have their opinion whatever you want to say but they have it all going in
00:26the right way and uh the right direction and really what's the most impressive thing is that
00:30when guys get hurt other guys step up and when other guys step up they actually make a profound
00:35difference in the team especially speed wise it's travian henderson has just exploded off the page
00:41the last couple weeks and look you got the highest rated quarterback he's completed over 70 percent of
00:46his passes he's thrown for the most yards in the nfl at that position you know it's not their fault who
00:52they play or when they play them they just got to go out and play and win and it's pretty much as
00:57simple as that and they've beaten pretty much every team that uh well they have beaten every team over
01:03the last seven weeks and or eight weeks when you look at this uh you realize that they are right
01:08there they're better than denver if you ask me i think they're a much more balanced team and can score
01:13uh more consistently than the denver broncos who are the number one seed in the afc right now
01:19well boomer when you look at the bangles up next could it be a bangles team without jamar jace
01:24it could be uh it's certainly a bingles team without joe burrow and it's been a nice little
01:29story with joe flacco he's been fine but you know the bingles defense is just horrific uh it is about
01:35as bad as it gets i mean they're on a record-setting pace going the wrong way so another game where they
01:42should win the patriots should win this game that's up to mike variable to make sure that they're on edge
01:46that they don't take anything for granted we've seen this earlier in the season where they were
01:50playing teams that they were supposed to beat and they did beat them and there was never any question
01:55as to whether or not they were going to beat them so that's why no matter what cam newton or anybody
02:00else may say about fool's gold when you go and play a team that you're supposed to beat and you beat
02:05them soundly that tells me all i need to know about the coaching and the players that are receiving that
02:10coaching i mean jamar chase probably ends up getting suspended for that right i would think so i think it's
02:16i uh i would not be surprised and um you know the nfl is very very sensitive about different things
02:23that go on with these players and uh you know somebody's got to be held accountable and
02:28unfortunately when it's a star in the league i wouldn't be surprised if if that's the case
02:33boomer when you watch this football team week in and week out what makes them so dangerous in your
02:38opinion uh multiplicity um when you think about the ability to run the ball uh jermaine and you know
02:45this you know this from playing you know this from playing in the northeast and especially november
02:49december january being able to run the ball that means you are a physical football team and first
02:54and foremost when i think of mike vrabel i think of physicality and that's exactly what you want
02:59then i think of all the different things that you could do from formation wise and uh you know
03:05getting wide receivers and tight ends and involved and then i think of your quarterback accuracy
03:09and i have to tell you i mean thursday night he looked like he was just out there just playing
03:15so relaxed it looked like seven on seven at times i know the jets don't have a great pass rush but
03:19he was so calm and so cool and so accurate i mean these are the halcyon days of the the brady
03:26patriots this is what they look like i'm not saying that they're going to end up being that way
03:30but that's certainly in my eyes what it conjures up all those great years where the quarterback was so
03:37in control and then after the game is over you listen to his teammates talk about him
03:41number one he's humble number two he's a leader and number three he's a freaking playmaker and those
03:47that's the trifecta right there for a quarterback from your perspective what needs to happen the rest
03:53of the season to to when it comes to drake and others for him to be the mvp wow i'll tell you he's
04:01already on pace for this you know 200 and more yards passing in every game this season that's the third
04:06second year quarterback since 1970 with 200 or more pass yards in 11 straight games to start
04:13a season along with mvps dan marino and patrick bahomes i mean that's all you need to know he's
04:18he's in very very rarefied uh company when in regards to all of this stuff i know he's not
04:25thinking about it that's the humble part of who he is josh uh josh mcdaniels is going to keep him
04:30on the straight and narrow is going to keep going um i just think all you have to do is continue to
04:34play your game and he's going to be right there in that conversation i mean how could he not be so
04:39uh this is uh this is really an amazing thing that is happening that the the signing of mike
04:45vrabel the bringing back of josh mcdaniels and then the explosion of drake may those are three
04:51things that i think when we started this season way back when we all thought would have a profound
04:57positive effect on this team and man i think it's playing itself out the way that i think a lot of us
05:03predicted it boomer you mentioned vrabel and how the patriots bringing him in was a huge catalyst
05:08to get where they are now there was a lot of reporting in the build-up to thursday night that the
05:13jets were desperate to hire mike vrabel and he gave the jets the heisman did did you know about that
05:20and how are you waking up a jets fan you're just dealt with two decades of brady and belichick and
05:25now it looks like vrabel and may are on their way yeah this is uh not easy down here there's no
05:31there's no question about that for either franchise for that matter and i think mike would
05:35have been a good head coach for either one i still never really saw him as the jet head coach and i'm
05:40not i don't think that he in any way shape or form insulted woody johnson or the jets i believe that
05:46if robert craft doesn't move on from gerard mayo then i do believe vrabel would have been the coach
05:52here there's no question about it um but you know it's too good of a fit up there and you know you
05:58see the relationship that braves has with uh with robert craft and jonathan craft and you know it's
06:03just a perfect fit and the quarterback situation makes everything so much better you know that's
06:09the thing about the giants job uh right now is that they have the quarterback of the future you could
06:14see it you could see the way the kid is playing jackson dart and that's going to be a very very
06:18sought-after job uh there's no question about it much like new england would have been a sought-after
06:23job if if you would have known gerard mayo was going to be fired in the middle of last year i
06:28don't know if any of us felt that way at the time but there's no question that robert craft did not
06:34want to see vrabel wearing jets green at any point in time in his career boomer the kansas city chiefs
06:41are an unfathomable five and five and on the outside looking in yeah and i don't think i i don't think
06:49they're going to make it now um i i know they're still right there on the outskirts of the playoffs
06:54there's still seven games left for them i mean they could they could roll off six and one and
07:00make it in as a wild card i don't think they're going to win their division so there is a chance
07:05because all these teams still have to play each other in this week you know they have the colts
07:09coming to kansas city so it'll be interesting to see patrick mahomes on patrick mahomes patrick
07:14mahomes obviously but daniel jones going on the road in kansas city see how he can play
07:19in a really really tough environment because this is going to be desperation time uh for the
07:24kansas city chiefs so it was a huge win by denver yesterday by the way that that's a huge hump to
07:29get over for sean payton and of course bo nicks but to me i i think they are really i would say right
07:35now it's it's like almost like a 50 50 as to whether or not they're going to make the playoffs here
07:41well boomer seeing that you answered that then my next question would be because i don't know what
07:46vegas looks at last week they had him as the super bowl favorites and we talked about this
07:51and i just i i guess it's them holmes thing does that mean because in my opinion i think the
07:55patriots are the best team in the afc would you agree with that i do agree with it yeah and i think
08:01like i said earlier they're a little bit but not a little bit i think they're just better overall
08:05than the never broncos both have really good defenses both try to run the ball well solid
08:11offensive lines the real difference is the quarterback and drake may makes the patriots
08:16significantly better than the broncos bonix is a good player i think he took a step back this year
08:21although yesterday was a big moment for him um i don't think that uh you know drake may has been
08:27over 200 yards every single game i mean he's he's front and center in the middle of everything and
08:32nobody is trying to protect him with bootlegs and also the crap that sean payton runs out there in
08:38denver so to me that's the big difference it's going to be the quarterbacks when it comes down
08:42to the playoffs we all know that we all see that and drake is on his way to having a sensational
08:48year and i suspect that he'll have a sensational playoff run as well boomer going back to what greg
08:54said about some people not taking this patriots team seriously yet a lot of people are looking at
08:59that second bills game as the the game in which if the patriots win then people will start taking
09:04them seriously you look at josh allen yesterday yes he ends the game with six touchdowns total but
09:09he had some head scratchers in that one as well where do you stand on him and the bills at this
09:15point in the season well he put his cape on yesterday for for sure in the second half and
09:19the bills running defense is not where it needs to be so going back to being a physical football team
09:26that means not only running the ball and be effective running it but also stopping the run
09:31and that to me is the biggest problem that the bills have right now and then of course josh
09:35sometimes feels the pressure and he has to put that cape on and do miraculous things on the football
09:41field but he also does some head scratching things we've seen this uh every year of his career where
09:46he'll have a little bit of a dip in his performance and a little goofy stuff will happen but he'll he'll
09:51always come out of it and because he's josh allen they're always going going to have a chance now i would
09:57just say this uh for the for the for new england right now guys it's on the cincinnati they're not
10:04thinking about anybody else they they got to keep it simple and this goes back to you know who so uh
10:09it's on to cincinnati this week we'll worry about buffalo when they show up on the schedule well
10:14perfect lead in here so bill belichick gave a statement on thursday night saying that the north
10:20carolina tar heels are on to wake forest didn't work out that well uh how many people within the giants
10:27organization were surprised to see he was even thinking he was up for the job i don't know you
10:31know it's a it's a weird deal i think he would be up for the job if things didn't end the way that
10:36they ended in new england and uh and and some of the things that are going on off the field i think
10:42he would be a serious contender i don't think they're all that desperate and especially if they
10:46keep their uh general manager joe shane i would i i would see a guy that is going to be less
10:53aggressive when it comes to players and the the roster and things of that nature that the giants
11:00would hire and they may keep mike kafka their interim head coach right now he didn't have a
11:04bad day yesterday looks the part on the sideline or they may go defensive coordinator like jeff
11:09halfley out in green bay it could they also could bring in mike mccarthy too i think uh people would
11:14like to see uh somebody with some experience but it's really unfortunate because this would have been
11:19the perfect time for bill belichick to come in here take the franchise over and you know go out
11:25hopefully a winner as a giant head coach but i just don't see that happening question of the week for
11:31boomer brought to you by mcfarland energy the region's most dependable provider of home heating oil
11:35delivery and expert hvac services you can find them at mcfarlandenergy.com we are at gillette this
11:43morning where there was a thursday night game last week uh this past week john gruden called on the
11:50nfl to get rid of the thursday night games uh said no prep no time to recover uh how do you feel about
11:58thursday i don't think they're going anywhere you know nfl yeah he can say whatever he wants he's got
12:03to get his lawsuit figured out first um i would say you know as much as i didn't like it as a player
12:10if we did win i did like it because it gave us the entire weekend off and it really hit us a nice
12:16break in the middle of the season i understand where john's coming from because these thursday
12:20night games especially late in the season have not looked all that great um but they're there
12:25forget it they're going to add an 18th game they're going to have more international games
12:29and they'll probably have two by so what i think it's going to start on labor day and it's going to
12:34end on president's weekend eventually that's where i think they're going especially after this past
12:39labor day when you saw the college games and how well they did ratings wise i think the nfl is
12:44going to want a piece of that so i wouldn't be surprised that the season starts labor day ends on
12:49uh president's day and we all make that much more money and and hopefully we continue with our jobs
12:54because everybody's still interested all right boomer well it's great to hear your voice and we
