00:00so yet another football lead for me today but i felt like this needed to be addressed uh yesterday
00:06espn released their nfl football power index and uh kind of went through where all of the teams
00:13ranked would you like to take a guess where the patriots ranked according to their football power
00:18index just in the afc okay oh just in the afc just in the afc where where do you think
00:24the
00:25patriots right i would hope they are top three yeah i would hope so that's interesting you say
00:31that they're not i'm gonna guess six wrong lower they're seventh oh okay they have the new england
00:38patriots as the seventh best uh afc team somehow i don't i don't understand this you can try and
00:44explain it to me if you want the bangles are their number three team like to have the best odds
00:49to
00:49win the conference uh in order bills ravens bangles chiefs uh chargers texans patriots wow
00:57texans are in front of the patriots they think they had the texans have a better chance to win
01:01the super bowl than the new england patriots they really dropped them for out of there huh yeah
01:04they really did i don't understand like i i when you look at teams a lot of time especially when
01:10they just stay the same year over year you expect some regression schedule gets harder certain guys
01:16get injured when you know in the season before they might have been healthy but you look at both
01:21the patriots and the denver broncos not only were they really good last year yes they had easier
01:25schedules but then they improved a lot in the offseason right like on paper the patriots offense
01:32should be way better than last year especially with the addition of aj brown and romeo dobbs and
01:38hopefully improvements on the offensive line due to health and the addition of elijah vera tucker and
01:42then you look at the broncos adding jalen waddle uh they got them they made themselves better as
01:48well and and they'll get bone nicks back from injury so like i guess i don't understand i will
01:53give them the bangles because joe burrow if he can stay hell yes because he's kind of due like but
01:59like greg in 2024 he played 17 games they went nine and eight and missed the playoffs right like the
02:05bangles aren't good i'm sorry it's it should be his time yeah but i'm with time the bangles are not
02:09good
02:10do they have a time to get adt in his house he's gonna get hurt again like he can't stay
02:15healthy
02:16but even if he stays healthy he's gonna be 30 in december we think he's young well no i mean
02:21but 30
02:21is like you know but like 30 is old my homes won three before yeah well i agree with you
02:27on that
02:27curtis right um but he the thing about joe the thing about joe burrow greg he's really good and
02:35jamah chase is really good so instantly everybody thinks oh that's the reason why cincinnati should
02:41be good no you have two really good offensive players but your defense stinks but you also
02:46you also look at the the chargers and texans are ahead of you we saw both of those quarterbacks
02:51that is surprising shine thank you very much you're welcome more leads coming when we get to mego's lead
02:59in just a little bit some concern from her that she is going to infuriate coach with it so hello
03:08and good morning so this is kind of like you know what hey follow that cab chime lead with the
03:14power
03:14rankings of the patriots being 14th in the nfl behind teams that i have i have no idea that why
03:22they're ahead of them so i don't know who this guy is that wrote it some dude what's his name
03:26seth
03:26what the hell is this guy's name seth walder and has them yeah i have no idea but when you
03:32start to
03:32look at the patriots and i don't understand how people have them this low whether it's in the nfl
03:38the whole league or whether it's in the afc when you start to look at their team last year they
03:44finished in every major offensive and defensive category when i say major defensive it's total yards
03:52rush yards passing yards points yeah they finished top 10 in every major category both offensively and
03:59defensively and they just got better this year so when i hear people you know kind of to shime's lead
04:07have them at the fifth or sixth best team in the afc or they the 14 team when it comes
04:14to power rankings
04:15in the nfl teams like the cowboys ahead of them the lions the eagles the packers the 49ers ahead of
04:23them and i start to look and i go look what the patriots did this offseason the addition of aj
04:30brown
04:30where they struggled the most last year in the postseason the postseason they struggled offensively
04:36especially when it came to total yards and passing yards i just told you their numbers when you looked
04:41at them during the regular season last year passing yards offensively they were the fourth ranked uh
04:46team in the nfl with 250 yards a game from an offensive perspective you added aj brown you're gonna get
04:55better this year your defensive added kevin byard an all pro safety you're gonna get better this year
05:01defensively i don't understand how people can say oh i write or i talk about consistently the nfl
05:11that's all i do i'm not like a you know an entertainer talking head who talks about all sports and
05:18so
05:18i'm just throwing a bunch of opinions that stick to a wall you claim to be an nfl analyst expert
05:25journalist writer but yet you don't look at none of the facts when you start to evaluate these teams
05:33and you start to go where do they fall in place a team that made it to the super bowl
05:38gets better
05:40now is viewed as a team that's worse than they were last year i'm guessing most of it is the
05:46schedule thing oh i got the schedule thing's a nice thing you want to touch on i haven't touched on
05:51that here prepared here is here is where they are just go ahead and stick an egg roll in my
05:56mouth
05:56no but here are like that strength of schedule they have this roll they have the sixth hottest schedule
06:04in the nfl go their opponent's winning percentage is 531 a team that's ahead of them with an opponent
06:13winning percentage of 536 the kansas city chiefs what if he's just like cam newton and he said last
06:19year was fool's gold if the broncos have bo nicks if uh the quarterback of the texans yeah but the
06:25broncos ain't even ahead of them so yeah i'm saying that if you if you just watch the super bowl
06:30you would have the patriots where they are no no no no you wouldn't because if you watch the
06:35playoff games leading up to that right i just said if you just watched the super bowl all right so
06:40if
06:40you just watched one game if you just watch you can't claim to be an nfl animal listen if you
06:46watch
06:46the playoffs i don't know how you can have cj stroud and the texans ahead of the new england
06:52patriots going into this if to go to curtis's point if you just watch the super bowl like you did
06:57if you just watch the playoff game between the patriots and the texans there's no way the texans
07:01would or even the patriots and the charges yeah so i you know it's just like what are we doing
07:07here
07:07when these people are writing these articles or you know what these journalists here they're coming up
07:13why are you pointing at me well because you're the you're the journalist to be fair to be fair to
07:18seth walder he's just giving you the notes on what the uh the machines tell him like the power index
07:25is
07:25like an analytics thing so to be fair to him it's not his opinion it's simply the like numbers at
07:30the
07:30espn algorithm right they're plugging a bunch of numbers in there and it's uh it's spitting out the
07:36matrix exactly and we'll have craig breslow on at nine uh just as a side note um yeah i think
07:44the
07:44patriots should be i hope the patriots will do better and i believe and i believe that they will so
07:49i think
07:49they should be ranked much higher they should be top three top five that's as low as i'll go
07:55top five team in the nfl in the nfl not just the conference no shime's lead reference the only team
08:02in the conference that should be ahead of the new england patriots and this is the only arguable
08:06one is the bills yes that's it and it's only because of josh allen that's the only team so shime
08:11why do you think everyone then from a national perspective is so high on the ravens i because the
08:16people are high on the ravens every year i mean the entire jones akief program picked them to win
08:20the super bowl last year and they didn't even make the playoffs because it's the oh this is going to
08:24be this is going to be the year lamar gets over the hump this is going to be the year
08:27lamar plays
08:28great and i love lamar jackson but if you're criticizing the patriots because drake may was
08:33bad in the playoffs lamar's always been bad in the playoffs right uh justin herbert was awful in the
08:37playoffs cj stroud was way worse in the playoffs like i don't understand how you can put those teams
08:42ahead of the patriots uh 617 text says the texans defense punched you in the mouth yeah and guess
08:49your defense punched them right that was a horrible offensive game on both sides what are we right and
08:53drake may was still better than cj stroud right your defense cj stroud was so bad that dan orlosky
09:00went on television and actually criticized a quarterback was like that was terrible and then
09:05he apologized for it yeah and that's the one thing i said you struggled offensively in the postseason
09:10but you added aj brown you're and just like we just said your defense punched everybody in the
09:16mouth all playoff long all right we thank you you got it
