Welcome on now. My good friend from Baltimore. He hosts the Big Bad Morning Show. He is Jeremy Kahn. Um Dude, where do we even start with that game last night?
I guess I'll just say WTF. Like, where do you want to start? What happened? I feel like you always call me when something's going wrong in Baltimore. That's a Baltimore thing.
That's not a me and you conversation. That's a you and your sports town conversation. Yeah, man. Look, if you go back to last night, it's so funny because I kept saying I think the Ravens are going to win by double digits, and it appears the worst thing for the Ravens is to get up double digits. They've lost 17 games where they've had double-digit leads.
I've been the most since 1991. And over the past three years, they've lost eight games where they had a 90%. better chance of winning that game. And, you know, they were asking about it today on uh at or You know, his pose. Post-game press conference and some sound from this morning.
And I feel like he talks in circles sometimes, but it is so weird how. Lamar or Harbor Uh no, hardball. I'm with you, man. It feels like they're snake bitten, but when you bring up a number like that, it's more than bad luck. It's what do they say, coffees for closers?
They just don't get any coffee out there. Like, what's the deal? How can you be in so many games like last night where you're not just good, you dominate? If you've got a 90% chance to win an NFL game, last night there was one point where they had like a 99.4% chance to win a game, there's something going on, man. Yeah, it was the exact opposite of what we had Saturday night with the Orioles coming back on the Dodgers off of a no-hitter through eight and two-thirds.
I mean, you feel like you're golden here. There's no way you can lose this game. And the weird thing is now, like, last year bringing in Derrick Henry, you're supposed to have this stumper that's going to be your closer. And you give him one carry at that point, and he picks up a yard. And so you don't go back to him.
And if you're not gonna go back to him, Why are we doing this weird stuff with Zay Flowers? And I just like. Don't get it sometimes. And I think it's the minutiae in the games, like snapping the ball when there's 25 seconds on the play clock in the fourth quarter. When you're running, I mean, the clock's your enemy at that point.
That's all you want. You want the clock to run.
So. Um, yeah, like I say, you make good luck sometimes. Maybe you make your own bad luck by doing stupid things over and over. Before he was bad though, JC, I mean, Derrick Henry was awesome. What he finished with, like a buck sixty something, a couple of touchdowns.
Yeah, the fumble was costly, but there's no question there's plenty of gas left in that tank. Oh man, he looks ridiculous. And everybody has seen his workout regimen, or maybe you've seen what he's putting in his body. It's insane. He likes it's incredible too, because I think I heard something the other day that he's still in the NFL hasn't surpassed how many yards he had in high school.
And if you've never seen his high school numbers, it's like when people tell you stories about Will Chamberlain. It's the most ridiculous thing you'll ever see in your life. And who wanted to be tackling him in high school? But yeah, he's a guy that looks great, man. And we're not used to seeing the fumbling stuff.
We know he's capable of breaking one off. That's clearly what he did a couple of times in the game, and it makes you wonder why don't you just keep feeding the beast at that point and see if they can stop him.
Now, when you say Wilt Chamberlain's record, do you mean the points and the rebounds or the 20,000 number? Which one are we talking about here?
Well, all of those. I mean, Wilt's putting up triple-doubles in Philadelphia and he's doing it also back at the hotel room, man. Jeremy Kahn joining us here from Baltimore's Big Bad Morning Show on the Infinity Sports Network. I'm not just saying this, I'm a Chiefs fan. I truly believe that that was an AFC Championship game preview.
The Chiefs look like they've taken a little bit of a step back. And for the sake of both Lamar and Josh Allen, damn it, it better be because they might be able to beat Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs. Do you agree with me that as good as that game was? We're probably going to see it again later on in the playoffs. I mean, you kinda hope so.
Like, again, like, it it's the one thing I I kept saying was gonna happen is that one of the teams is gonna beat the Chiefs and then go lose the next game because they finally slayed the dragon and now it's like Hey, this is what happens. I think the Bills should run rough shot over their division.
So we'll see what happens toward the end of the year. This could be one of those great tiebreakers. AFC North looked, I mean, I think Pittsburgh was kind of a surprise.
So you're hoping that you could see something like this down the stretch. I went on a couple of Buffalo radio stations, and they're like, You know, it kind of sucks to do this in the beginning of the year. It's always kind of nice to look forward to it, but now it's over. And it's still one of the best games you could possibly watch. One of the best games I've ever seen, although.
I just, I wonder going forward, like you think about momentum and you think about playoff seeding. If we do get this one again, it might come down to home field, especially with the fact that only one team gets a buy.
So started great for Buffalo. We've seen this before. Speaking of my Chiefs. Um, you can hurt my feelings here. How much do you think they've taken a step back?
Because clearly they have. Yeah, I think there's something there that it's but you know what? They're still doing the same stuff we talked about. I mean, you watch O'Marion Hampton run out of bounds and leave a few seconds up there, a little extra for Pat Mahomes, then he puts a little magic together to get some points. Maybe the Chargers are just way better we think.
Maybe the travel to Brazil that's 13 hours in the damn air. I don't know why the NFL is doing that, but like. You know, maybe that's something that happened because I think the Chiefs win this week. It's one of my favorite plays. I think they knock off the Eagles.
So I think you're I don't want to Greatly misinterpret the downfall of the Chiefs because I'm hoping for it.
Sorry, buddy. But I don't think we're quite there yet. I just think the Bills and the Ravens might have a little bit of an edge on them this year.
Well, do you want them to drive to Brazil? I mean, don't get me wrong. It's a long time. No, it just shouldn't be playing there. It's silly, man.
The NFL is just bowing down to the almighty dollar. It doesn't make sense. I do like the London games, though, because for gambling degenerates like you and me, we get a chance to gamble that early time slot. I think that's one of the great tricks the NFL has pulled where, like in the Midwest, we got the 12 kickoff, we got the 3 p.m. kickoff, we got the night game, and then now you also have to wake up and you're all groggy and you're making your prop bets.
I don't mind the London ones, JC. Yeah, it's funny 'cause like I've been out in like Vegas or on the West Coast and it is kind of cool getting up in the morning and having like a 10 a.m. football game. I mean, I'd look I do a morning show, so obviously I'm up early and it always makes sense for me. And it would be nice to be able to go to bed a little bit earlier and Try to fight off falling asleep during the Ravens-Bills game.
It's too damn exciting, but yet you're gassed. Yeah, man, it is interesting. Is that admitting to falling asleep? And I know that you've got like your sleep apnea issues, so I'm not talking smack, but you didn't make it through. Oh man, I so the funniest thing about Oh, I got no problem, man.
I'm well past because, like, I re-watch games on YouTube anyway and catch up. But the best part of it was like I passed out. And then I woke up, and I don't have my readers on, and I'm looking at my phone. It's like, I say 40-41, what doesn't even make any sense? They were up to 15 when I fell asleep, and then you're like.
What the hell? And then you're kind of wide awake at that point, so it's like, why go back to bed? I had turned to Golden Girls to see what it was a good episode. And then I turned back and just to see if I'd hit my prop bets. And I was like, what is going on?
Like you said, how is this even possible? But. I think Buffalo's kind of turned into the new Chiefs where no matter how big the deficit is, and now they've got the guy. And Baltimore, like we said, it just, for whatever reason, A great team that at some point has to cash in. Lamar doesn't.
Give me the vibes that he lets it get to him, though. Is he just doing that publicly? Because he plays cool, calm, and collected. And he was the quarterback of a team last year that lost week one in Kansas City. I know it because I was there.
They probably should have won that game. He lost the playoff game. Mark Andrews dropped a lob from him. They should have won that game. He lost an MVP trophy to Josh Allen.
He should have won that. They lost again last night. And every single time, he just comes out and he's like on to the next. He's, I mean, I don't think it's an act. I just think he's chill, man.
Like, he is chill. It's crazy because you think about it and like seeing him out and about, and like watching some of the people and how they react to him. And it's not like this big deal. He's just kind of laid back. And you're just, I mean, he's a cool guy.
So it is fun to watch him play, though, man. He does some things out there that I've never seen anybody do. And I hope at some point for his sake that. He gets there, gets to experience the whole Super Bowl thing, but You know, he and Josh Allen got to earn it. And the thing about Josh Allen is You want to hate him, but he's so freaking likable that it's crazy.
That corny ass smile, yeah, he's a tough guy not to like. Uh, when it comes to wide receivers, I've asked you in the past, how come Lamar has never had a real number one? Because Patrick Mahomes, for a while, got to throw the ball at Tyreek Hale and Joe Burrow as Jamar Chase. You can keep going down the line. The best quarterbacks always have a number one wide receiver.
And then I look at Lamar pretty much his entire career, and we pretended like a while, oh, they got Odell Beckham or whatever it was. And you point out Zay Flowers is now that guy, and last night he was.
So, congratulations to him and to my bet because I had him going for over 90, and he did. He looks like he's that dude. I love that because I actually went on our pregame show last night and said I would ladder his total because it was like 58 and a half. Way too low. Yeah, just 80 yards was like two to one.
And I'm going, I the bill secondary's banged up. There's no Isaiah likely. Who do you think they're going to? I know we expected Mark Andrews to get a little bit more than five yards, but. Zay's very, very talented.
The big question is, I mean, you can see his figure, he's a smaller guy. Can he stay healthy and avoid some of the nasty hits and any ankle issues? But He's out there. He's special, man. He reminds you of, I'm not going to say Tyreek Hill, but you can kind of see some of the shiftier, fast receivers we've had.
in this league, and I think he's right up there with some of the best. Who's next in the division? If we agree that at some point we're going to look up and Baltimore is going to be 10-2 or something like that, like they always are, who do you think is next in the division after just one week? Honestly, I think it's going to be the Steelers because if you watch Cincinnati's defense against Cleveland. It was atrocious, and they couldn't get anything done on the flip side because the wind was.
too bad for them or whatever and the Cleveland defense was stepping up. I just don't buy into Cincinnati's defense holding up. And Joe Burrow is a phenomenal player, but asking him to throw 50 or 60 times a game. It's going to be a lot.
Now, here I am saying that about the defense. God knows how many points the Steelers defense gave up. And one of the craziest games we've seen yesterday.
So Um, yeah, I think the Ravens are the cream of the crop here, and I think the Steelers and Bengals are kind of close in that second spot, but I'd give the edge to the Steelers. Before you get out of here, you think they all get in? Because those all feel like playoff teams. I think we're going to end up getting two from the AFC South this year because I think these teams are just going to feast upon each other. Yeah, look, I think the Colts are actually, I was one of the few that said Daniel Jones for comeback player of the year.
And I said, I know it's a vomit play to say that. I'm not saying after one week he's going to win it because if Aiden Hutchinson does anything, it's his award to lose. But when you look back at it, like he played great on Sunday and behind an offensive line, a good play calling, defense was solid. Look, I think they're a live dog to win next week against the Broncos. They're interesting, and Houston's going to be around.
Let's see what Jacksonville does. Jacksonville finally has a coach that can really set Sunshine up to make some plays. We'll see how it looks. You said the comeback player of the year was his to lose. That's not true with that award.
Dude, DeMar Hamlin didn't win comeback player of the year. Like, you know how much of a lock that was? That's very fair because I'm, I even said, I said, well, I'm not betting this because he's definitely going to win. Like, how is that? Oh, it's Joe Flacco?
Really? What? He almost died? To the people that bet the Flacco tickets, can you imagine the pair that they're walking around with to actually make that bet and not bet on DeMar Hamlin and then they get to cash that ticket? Good for them.
That is my guy, Jeremy Kahn from Baltimore's Big Bad Morning Show. I'm glad that you're feeling better, my guy. Thanks for your time. Absolutely, man. Anything.
