  • Do you think the reigning MVP's gonna pull off the upset?

  • I do, I think the Ravens.

  • I think Lamar Jackson leads the Ravens passed the Bills team that everyone seems to think, and I might be.

  • One of them poses the biggest threat in terms of a matchup with the Chiefs.

  • I think Lamar Jackson pulls the upset.

  • Let me start by saying Josh Allen's improvements been great.

  • You know, every year he gets better.

  • He's entering M V P levels.

  • There's no question about bills are really good.

  • No knock against Josh Allen.

  • This is about Lamar.

  • See, everyone thought that there were a couple issues with Lamar.

  • He couldn't beat good teams.

  • It was said, If the defense knows how to play and you can't beat him and that's because he's a running quarterback, he's gotta be become a better pocket passer toe win.

  • We take those one at a time.

  • Number one.

  • Lamar Jackson never had a problem beating good teams.

  • He beat a lot of good teams.

  • He had a problem beating the teams he needed to beat the Roethlisberger Steelers.

  • He lost the Chiefs.

  • He lost three times in all three meetings.

  • The playoffs he'd lost twice.

  • That's Owen six.

  • In the games you have to win and almost undefeated in every other game.

  • That's not a you can't beat good teams problem.

  • That's a choking problem.

  • Lamar Jackson had a choking problem, period.

  • And by the way, I've said this about certain athletes.

  • I take no pleasure in saying it.

  • Paul George, James Harden, Clayton Kershaw.

  • Clayton Kershaw finally won a World Series.

  • I'm very happy for him.

  • I hope Harden and Paul George Harden is trending in the right direction that way.

  • I hope Paul George gets over it, too.

  • But Lamar had.

  • He was starting to get that reputation and he was earning it, but he was trending in the right direction also, guys.

  • The second half of his first playoff disaster was better than the first half.

  • The second playoff game was better than the first playoff game, and in this playoff game he got it done against a very good Tennessee team that had beaten him this year and beating him last year in the playoffs to knock him out so he can win when the light shine brightest.

  • Now how did he win?

  • Does he have to be a more of a pocket passer and everything.

  • Just because no one who's played like Lamar Jackson has ever won a Super Bowl doesn't mean it can't be done because no one's had Lamar Jackson's level of talent and dedication with the defense that Lamar Jackson has.

  • No, he could do it.

  • He has to be big on third down.

  • He has to make some keeps, um, key passes and he's gotta run that ball.

  • And by the way, guys, Hollywood Brown's gotta be Hollywood Brown, not West Covina, Brown or whatever he's been.

  • Yes, Lamar needs some help.

  • He does need some help.

  • But just because it hasn't been done before with the guy who plays like this doesn't mean it can't be.

  • And I'm betting Lamar pulls off the upset.

  • Well, I appreciate that dissertation on what could happen before you finally told us what you believe will happen.

  • Thank you for so it's so much were eventually getting to that point.

  • Ofcourse, he can pull it off.

  • He's Lamar, Jackson said.

  • My only point is is that I'm just of the mindset, Max, that when I look at Lamar right now, particularly in the inclement, whether that they're expecting toe havin buffalo.

  • I'm expecting that to be a factor.

  • If this game was in Baltimore, if it was under better, more ideal conditions similar to what we saw last week in Tennessee, I would feel differently, to be quite honest with you, because I think that Baltimore Ravens defense is riel.

  • But I also think that the Buffalo Bills have been underrated in terms of the complete team they are and how exceptionally well coached they are by McDermott.

  • We saw the progress we've seen, rather, the progress that Josh Allen has made Stefon Diggs is Ryan Clark has come on this and Articulated is one of the elite receivers in the National Football League.

  • Six receptions for like, 100 and 28 yards last week.

  • You know, every single week he's coming, and somehow, some way he's showing you this is what life with me is like when Kirk Cousins is not the one throwing me the football and everybody s.

  • So when I look at it from that perspective, I'm just of the mindset in Buffalo on their home turf, inclement weather with not much of a passing game by Baltimore, it's gonna have to be the wheels of Lamar Jackson to really, really pull it off.

  • In my estimation, along with their defense, I believe in their defense.

  • I believe in his wheels.

  • But I believe against a team like Buffalo this particular season.

  • I think it's going to take more than that to knock them off.

  • And I don't know in those conditions whether or not that's gonna happen straight up, I get where you're coming from, Max.

  • But I think that they don't give is one is just too.

  • If the turf is slick, yeah, that could be a problem for defenders.

  • Would somebody like Lamar Jackson running the football?

  • But it also be a problem for him actually running the football, particularly when everybody knows he's gonna run because you're not worried too much about the worst pass and attacking football really throwing bombs away at you.

  • I think it's gonna be tight, but I think as a result, if I had to sit up there and bet my money, I can't disrespect what I've been seeing from the Bills all year long, Man, you can't disrespect it.

  • I get it, but it's a famous movie line like you keep talking about?

  • Well, there's a famous movie, Lima boy said, Look at the wheels and that's what you get.

  • Did he freeze?

  • Yeah, I think he throws up a Z that that's what that's what happened.

  • That's what happens.

  • That's what happens when you try to get hyperbolic use.

  • Hey, dropped the mike.

  • He got the movie line in and he bounced.

  • Yeah.

  • No, he didn't, Molly, because he didn't tell us that movie.

  • He didn't tell us what movie?

  • He didn't tell us about movies right here.

  • He's back there, Ugo with color dealing with his ratings colors on.

  • Okay, Alrighty.

  • Oh, by the way, is tigers in here?

  • Go ahead.

  • Go ahead.

  • Way.

  • Know that jacket And here we go.

  • Freeze!

  • Freeze it again because you're trying to show up that tiger jacket.

  • All right, Max, you can make your point.

  • Now, go ahead.

  • Even a has got a little button there that keeps freezing.

  • Ryan.

  • Clark.

  • What?

  • You are you a real about your legitimate point about about about slick conditions?

  • That's a real thing.

  • And it does hurt, uh, someone with wheels, right?

  • Like it was going to put on ice skates.

  • That's true.

  • But in terms of in terms of how that effects things, I actually would put my money on the fastest land mammal this side of Tyree Kill and Lamar Jackson over the defenders.

  • Um, that are gonna be, you know, on Buffalo who got to try to chase him down.

  • Uh, also Lamar, you're right about this.

  • To Lamar is going to have to complete key passes.

  • The game doesn't have to be predicated on his precision passing, but he's going to have to come through in high leverage moments.

  • And the question for me always was Stephen A.

  • That's That's the reason for my dissertation, as you referred to in the beginning.

  • The question for me always was not whether Lamar Jackson had the talent and skill to do it, whether he had the ability to do it under pressure.

  • Could he come through in the clutch?

  • He was a young player.

  • You had to learn how to do it, but it appears to me he has.

Do you think the reigning MVP's gonna pull off the upset?
