Thursday, September 12: Time Out NFL Thursday
[MUSIC PLAYING] Welcome in to Fire it Up Network. This is an abbreviated timeout. We're taking a look at Thursday night football. It's a divisional match up for week two. Get it on Amazon Prime Video. And you can also download, if you're on Amazon, you can download True TV Plus so you can have all of our channels available right on your smart device or TV. It's totally free. Joined by Alex Cabel, and Alex Agon in NFC-- sorry, an AFC battle to start. AFC East, the Buffalo Bills, taken on to Miami Dolphins. Couple of probable playoff teams, with a super early consequential divisional match up. Yeah, a couple of playoff teams, certainly the class of the division here, a couple of division rivals. And certainly the class of that division square and off, it's a great early game. I would say, yeah, both teams are there. There are only two playoff teams from that division. Yeah. And yeah, ultimately, I like the Dolphins. To be honest, I think that there are two franchises going in somewhat separate directions. Allen and the Bills, I think they're getting back to an area where let's ask Allen to do too much. You know what I mean? You lose a playmaker like Diggs. You don't do much to replace him. The struggle to build a run game over his entire career. The offensive line's likely going to take a step back. And the biggest thing for me is the defense is also likely to take a step back this year. I think the Bills are a playoff team, but more of a wild car team. And I honestly think the Dolphins are the class of the division. And I think they win this one. Now, the Bills did acquire Marcus Valdez, Scanley. I don't think they did nothing. I mean, they got a Super Bowl champion on their team. That's right, MVS. How could I forget? To show how close this game is going to be statistically, and you don't play the games on paper. You're playing them on the field. But ESPN played it on the computer 100 times. And the results were the Bills winning 50.6% of the time, the Dolphins winning 49% of the time, and 4/10 of the time they came up in a tie. So that's about as close as you're going to get when they do that. Yeah, pretty hard to tie in Madden, too. That's pretty, you know what I mean? That almost never happens. So yeah, no, it's going to be pretty close. No, I agree. But you look at how well Miami played with the massive distraction they had before the game. Kudos, like Kudos. I just think McDaniel's is so loose as a coach. He is almost the quintessential perfect modern NFL coach in my way, because in my opinion, because you have to be able to speak to the players. And I think you have to be a players coach. And like Tua played great, expectedly. I really like Tua a lot more than the average person, too. And of course, their weapons are just like Tua has exactly what Josh Allen wishes he had. He wishes he had a great offensive mind as a said coach. He wishes he had two elite wide receivers. He wishes he had a speed demonet running back. He wishes he had a better offensive line. And Miami literally has all of that. Well, and Josh Allen has the wrong chief's former speed receiver. The Dolphins got Tyree Kill, and the Bills got MBS. And hey, credit, credit to Tyree Kill, too, way to put a game on after what has unquestionably been shown to be just rapidly horrendous over the top, police work. I mean-- Over the top, like just real quick opinion on it. Look, he should have rolled the window down, but the cop doesn't need to go full aggro on him if he doesn't. And you got to know the situation a little bit, cop. You're in Miami. It's literally a couple hours before the game. You were 15 minutes from the stadium. I know you didn't know who he was, but when he handed you the license and registration, you've got to, as a cop in Miami, have enough cultural awareness. I don't care if you're a football fan or not of who you're talking to and what it's going to look like if you drag him out of the car like that. You should be dragging anyone out of the car like that. No, and he did. But what a horrendous look that it was Tyree Kill. And to me, to not put two and two together, you got Kalaya's Campbell in the passenger seat. How often do you see a 6-foot-8, 315-pound man? You have to-- seriously, if you don't know what you're dealing with at that point, bro, you need a class in Miami Optics and Miami-- like Miami social life before you become a police officer. Well, and there was a lot of jumping to conclusion, because it similarly happened in Kansas City with Tyree Kill. And as it turns out, the tape that everybody was freaking out about in Kansas City completely accelerated him. And he did absolutely-- I mean, it really did nothing wrong. And I think it's presented himself incredibly well. And it had a great game. Seven catches, 133, 100 bird yards, Canada touched down. Yeah, I think the dolphins get this W. This is dolphins weather, too. It's going to be 87 degrees, sunny, and you can run it and gun it. He's the best receiver in the last-- in this generation of football. He just is. And he's proven it time and time again, and waddle on the other side. I just don't-- it's going to be a close game. And Alan's going to pull some heroics. He always does, you know what I mean? So he's going to keep it close. He's going to pull some heroics. But at the end of the day, they just have way more weapons and way more playmakers. And Tua is not that far off of Alan, not as far as everybody thinks he is, from an arm talent perspective. Tua throws an incredibly accurate deep ball. Does he throw at 75 yards in the deep ball? No. But he throws an incredibly accurate deep ball. Him and Jared Goff, I think, have the two most underrated arms in the NFL. Well, and this got a lot of media attention when Tyree Kill said it last year. He did say that he thinks, too, as more accurate than Patrick Mahomes. They'd say he throws it harder, didn't they? He throws it stronger, but he's more accurate. I kind of agree. Tyree Kill and Jalen Waddles, if you're accurate, they're going to create a place. They may end up evening up that record a little bit. If you look behind me, Josh Allen, 10 and 2, in his career against the Dolphins. I think that goes to 10 and 3. And the Dolphins pick up this win to start off the week in the NFL. And then that'll lead into a patch week. And you can hear the whole rest of the schedule right here on timeout, on the fired up network. Just stay tuned to catch that.
