00:00Hey, you know what? I know it's only eight quarters into the football season so far, but the odds so
00:05far, have they moved around a little bit on who wins the AFC?
00:10Yeah, a little bit. I mean, you've seen Kansas City take this step forward.
00:14And I know we just got off of what, like a 20, 25 year Patriots dynasty here.
00:20And we thought we were kind of through with this Chiefs thing, but them functioning the way they are.
00:24That defense is solid, but now the offense shifting to what I think is a high floor, high ceiling unit
00:30with Kenneth Walker leading the way here.
00:32I don't think there's really much of a reason to think that they aren't a real threat here.
00:37We thought the Chargers were going to be, you know, the team out of that division.
00:41But yeah, they're going to make some noise. Mike McDaniel comes in and sets everything on fire.
00:45And it's been all set on fire just in the negative way, not in the light up the scoreboard kind
00:50of way.
00:51Kenneth Walker right now second in the Offensive Player of the Year market.
00:53That's interesting to me. Everything about Kansas City feels like a team that could win 13 games during the regular
00:59season and rip off three or four in a row when it matters most.
01:02How about the Raiders? I mean, look, it's September. I call it Liars Month.
01:07No, no, you're you're not buying the 2-0 record, right, with the Raiders.
01:12I'm not only not buying the 2-0 record, I think there's a chance there's a world in which this
01:16hot start from Kirk Cousins and company, if you want to call it a hot start, could set the franchise
01:21back a year.
01:22I mean, we thought they were going to be 0-4, 1-6, things like that.
01:27We get Mendoza in there. He takes his lump. He gets, what, five, six, eight starts.
01:33And he takes his lumps that way and he's fine for year two.
01:35And we get to see what we truly have in the number one overall pick.
01:38But if they're having a winning record, you're not bringing in the kid.
01:41You're not benching Kirk Cousins to start an unknown if you're in the mix here.
01:46So there's a world in which this hot start, and they started 1-0 last season, so we'll take it
01:52where it goes from here.
01:53You said Liars Month. I completely agree with that.
01:56It's bought them time, but I think this could do more harm long-term than good.
