00:00But the last two games for Kenneth Walker against two elite defenses didn't go that well here, Greg, which worries
00:09me about Kansas City moving forward because I don't, A, up until that final two minutes, Kenneth Walker only had
00:1713 carries.
00:18Yeah, he didn't do much.
00:19I don't know what, why, like, why is, why did it take, why did it take that long for you
00:25to decide to say, all right, now it's going to be the Kenneth Walker show?
00:29Like, it should have been like that from the minute one.
00:32You kept trying to pass, pass, pass, incomplete, incomplete.
00:35Okay, three and out, turnover, back to Denver.
00:38The last thing I want to do is keep giving the ball to Denver and Bo Nix in the fourth
00:43quarter because we know what happens there.
00:45We've seen it now multiple times.
00:48I don't know why they didn't just lean on him in the second half with the lead.
00:52You know, they like Emmitt Johnson a lot, and I do too, but I don't know that he's Walker, but
00:57he's a nice complimentary back.
00:58I'll tell you the other thing that my takeaway was from yesterday's game, and again, keep in mind, the Chiefs
01:03had the ball inside the five, four times.
01:06They score once.
01:07I probably don't even bring this up on the show, but the truth is, Joe, it's getting to the point
01:12for me again that it's very hard to bet against Denver when they're at home.
01:17It's getting to that point.
01:19It just seems like that's going to be the best betting team in the NFL at home this season.
01:24They're undefeated.
01:25They're undefeated against the spread.
01:26I mean, it's getting to the point where they have maybe one, and they've always had really good home field
01:33advantage in the month of September, but it's just they're coming back, Joe, and winning every single game they play
01:40at Mile High.
01:41So I'm getting out of the way of that right now.
01:44If they're at home, either give me Denver or give me nothing.
01:47I'm not fading them anymore when they're at home.
01:51Not doing it.
01:52Well, I can't bet them in the first half because they're-
01:56No, they stink.
01:56I mean, every game, but then this second quarter, they come back, Jonah Coleman, and look, Kansas City, in the
02:03end, if they played that game out, and I gave you the opportunities that Kansas City had, and I said,
02:09here's what's going to happen, four times inside the five, do you want that opportunity to bet Kansas City right
02:15now or not?
02:16You'd say yes.
02:16Okay.
02:17Now, let's go back eight minutes.
02:19I give you the opportunity for the best kicker that they've ever had.
02:22Now, I know he may not be anymore, Harrison Bucker, kick a 54-yard field goal at Mile High in
02:27Denver.
02:28Would you take that for them to win?
02:29Every time, you'd say yes.
02:31Kansas City had the higher probability of winning that game throughout the game.
02:36What did it require for Denver to win?
02:39You know, R.J. Harvey got hurt.
02:41They played this kid, Jonah Coleman, and all of a sudden, this guy's running down the field for a 50
02:46-yard reception.
02:47They end up winning the game that way.
02:49So, I'm not going to be fair.
02:52I would have also told you that he shouldn't have never been trying to kick a 50-yard field goal
02:58because it should have been a 45-yard field goal because Patrick Mahomes took a sack on that play and
03:06lost 10 years.
03:07And why?
03:09Like, he knows better than that.
03:12We know he knows better than that.
03:14All he would have had to do was throw the ball away.
03:16They kick an easy field goal, but instead, you've got a struggling kicker, and you're going to now ask him
03:22to go to 54-yard?
03:23Like, I didn't – that whole sequence to me was very strange, Greg, because Mahomes knows better than that.
03:29He can't take a sack in that spot.
03:31Yeah, look, Bucker's had a great career.
03:33I don't know what Justin Tucker's going to provide for them, but the sense I get is you're going to
03:37see Tucker play.
03:38I mean, I think it's coming to that point.
03:40I mean, listen, in the end, is Bucker as good as he was?
03:45No.
03:46Should he guarantee to make a 50?
03:49No.
03:49But if you're ever going to make a 50, that is the stadium to do it in.
03:53Guys are kicking 60s like no problem in Denver.
03:57So, I think we've reached close to the –
04:00And I felt bad because it shouldn't have had to be a 54.
04:02It should not have had to be a 54.
04:04Agreed, but in this day and age of the NFL, you're supposed to make 54s.
04:07I know it used to not be like that.
04:0954 was like, oh, my gosh, it's long now.
04:11With 54, you're supposed to make it.
04:14Maybe it's not the end of the line.
04:15Maybe they give him one more week, but I suspect that we could –
04:19I would say this season for sure is the end of the line for Bucker there.
04:23But I think he cannot miss another one, I would say, and then that would be it.
