The volume Football is back and for the first time it's on Wednesdays from Omaha Productions, NFL films and Vice TV. NFL Classics after further review relives the NFL's biggest games with the legends who played him and the fans who never forget. Not just a rewatch, but the untold stories behind those plays. Kyle Branch, the host, Bart Scott and Method man for the 2010 divisional round jets and Patriots the underdog jets stunned Brady's 14 and 2 Patriots. It was a huge playoff upset and a cap by Bart Scott's unforgettable can't wait post game interview. So don't miss NFL Classics After Further Review It's Wednesdays at 9 only on Vice TV. A little instant reaction on Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers coming from behind on a game they could have lost six different ways and sort of gutted it out between the Colts and the Broncos yesterday and the Buccaneers and the Texans tonight. It shows you, you know, that's why when fans get worked up and this coach is a bum and this player is a bum, a lot of this stuff is coin flip. I mean think about tonight. The Buccaneers have a punt block, they give up a huge return. But yet then Houston, the Texans have a first and goal. And the Texans, it's easier for them to block a punt and get 20 yard gains from Nick Chubb for a touchdown than pick up two at the goal line. And so they just figured out Baker gets the ball last and you know, huge scramble, makes a play, goes 7 of 9 for 65 yards in the final drive and Tampa wins it. But Tampa had a disastrous special teams performance at various times. Mika Abuka, a great young receiver, dropped what should have been a huge play down the stretch. They they struggled in pass protection with Baker Mayfield, but the NFL mostly comes down to in close games who makes the big plays with under a minute 30 left and Tampa did. Baker with a huge scramble, Baker with a couple of ropes, Bucky Irving breaking tackles on that run. They just made their big plays. The last time they got the football, the Texans made several big plays in the third quarter. So it's such a go either way league. But I was watching neither quarterback. I mean again, Texans are 02, Bucks 2 and oh, and a lot of it is circumstantial. Tampa's just made big plays on the road against Atlanta, big plays against Houston and Baker Mayfield is a big part of that. And I was thinking about this today. I was writing this down going into this Game because I think C.J. stroud and Baker Mayfield both have gotten their teams into the playoffs. Think about this. I'm going to name the quarterbacks right now that are capable of winning double digit games or getting to the playoffs. Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Burrow, C.J. stroud, Baker Herbert, Goff Hertz, Dax Stafford, Jordan Love, Kyler Murray, Geno Smith, Aaron Rodgers, Sam Darnold, Bo Nix, Jaden Daniels, Brock Purdy, Tua Tua's been a Pro Bowler. Trevor Lawrence, you know, he did get his team and won a playoff game. That's 21 quarterbacks in 32 teams. I'm not counting Mack Jones, Daniel Jones or Russell Wilson who had great games yesterday when they have the right coach and the right fit. I'm not counting Michael Penix or Cam Ward or Drake May, who I think are going to make it in this league. I'm not counting Caleb Williams or J.J. mcCarthy, who I'm not sure of at this moment in time. Caleb certainly talented enough, but total between all those quarterbacks, 28. So there's a lot of guys that can spit it in this league. But it comes down to, I mean, Buccaneers go on the road, punts, blocked returns, surrendered. I mean dropped passes, sacks, multiple sacks. Baker Mayfield was a pinata for a couple series. And they figure out how to win games. And it's just like the Denver Colts game. That's a go either way game. There's an iffy, sketchy call by the officials. Shane Steichen does actually a poor job coaching on that final drive. He admits it after that he got too conservative. But they get an officiating break and they win. And by the way, they made a great interception on Bo Nicks in the fourth quarter. So the Colts also had several big plays offensively. Daniel Jones was humming at key moments in that game, but so much of this game it just, it's just coaching and quarterback play and who gets the ball last and who makes the last big play in a game. And I know you, I think you know you. You think I don't like Baker Mayfield, but I do think the offensive coaching is the best it's ever been in my life. And that's why you're seeing Geno Smith and Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield and Mac Jones yesterday. That was the best game Mac Jones has ever played. Well, it's Kyle Shanahan. So the offensive coaching in this league is really spectacular right now. And what it allows is for quarterbacks who may fail in their first organization that eventually Baker Mayfield goes to the Rams and then he goes to Tampa Bay and eventually he finds his way in San Darnold, goes to Carolina and the Jazz, then he goes to San Francisco, understands the system. Kevin o' Connell likes him. Now he's in Seattle and he's going to win a lot more games in Seattle. So eventually the message is in the NFL, if you're talented enough, you will find a good offensive coach or a great situation. Tampa is perfect for Baker. Tampa is a little bit of a pirate ship, an Ebor city and a little bit of a rebel and an outcast city. It can be a party town, it can be a retirement place, but it's always been with Jason Light, the gm, they've got tons of talent. They've always had talent, but until they got Tom Brady and then Baker, they couldn't get the quarterback right. You know, Brad Johnson won a Super bowl, but it was a stacked roster. But, but Tampa's got players. They've won their division, what, two, three years in a row and good gm, good quarterback play and they've kind of now feel like they're in control of this division. So I picked them to win this division. And you know, it comes down to if you give me the best quarterback in a division, I like my chances to make it into the playoffs. But Kansas City with Mahomes is eventually probably going to get his Xavier worthy, healthy Rasheed Rice will come back. They'll figure out a way to win 10 games and get into the playoffs. They're too good defensively, too good of a coach, too good of a defensive coordinator. Mahomes is too talented. They'll figure out how to win 10 games. But you know, as I watch this game, it could drive you sports betters crazy. I liked, I actually liked Houston tonight, so. And I thought they had it with two huge specialty teams. Plays they earned, both of them. Legitimate block punt, great return. The referees picked up the flag, but Baker gets the ball last and is has got all sorts of weapons. In Tampa, Chris Godwin wasn't available. He's been banged up throughout his career. And so I get ready for Raiders and the Chargers tonight. You know the other thing, I got a couple of texts after my show today from people in the National Football League in the front office and they were agreeing with me on my take today about quarterbacks. Mike Sando also wrote an article about this. Justin Fields is banged up again and Joe Burrow is banged up again. It's not that they deserve to be hurt, but there is a skill to Brady and Eli Manning and certain NFL players staying healthy. Now, some guys like Josh Allen are just simply bigger and can take more, are more durable. But even Big Ben and Cam Newton, who are huge men like 652-55-662, 65, Big Ben aged very quickly. Cam Newton aged overnight. Why they took too many hits. And so Josh Allen similarly gets beat up. And I worry about that could age him. Now he does have a great left tackle. They have now with James Cook, developed a run game. And so they're not as reliant on him. They actually run more statistically if you look at the data than people would think with the Bills. But some of this is just you've got to know your body. You know Baker Mayfield, who like tonight, you know, there's a couple times. Baker's a great quarterback. If you give him two and a half seconds and let him plant his right foot, he throws a beautiful ball. For the record, so does C.J. stroud. Baker throws a beautiful ball. When it breaks down, Baker plays with so much confidence and so much emotion. When the pass blocking breaks down, sometimes Baker extends a play and shouldn't. And I think that's just. It's a little reckless, but I think that's his personality. Baker is. He's a fullback that plays quarterback, he's a linebacker that plays quarterback. He likes the physicality of the sport. But even as big and strong as Andrew Luck was, it just takes its toll. So I really do believe there is a skill in this league to staying on the field. Eli Manning was the master of just letting go of the ball, getting rid of it. And there's also players think how big, strong and physical Anthony Richardson was for the Colts. But he couldn't get the pre snap stuff down. He couldn't spot blitzes and would get just hammered two or three times a game. And despite his size, Anthony Richardson was dinged up a lot. Justin Fields is a big, a big, athletic, twitchy athlete. He gets banged up a lot. So listen, the Bengals are a cheap organization that should spend more on the offensive line. I mean, to me, I've always looked at it like your quarterback is your Bentley. The offensive line is the insurance policy. You wouldn't own a beautiful car without an insurance policy. So it's the most important unit on the field is protecting your asset, the franchise, the quarterback. Cincinnati can't figure that out. So it's just time and time again you kind of roll your eyes at the Bengals, but some of it is on quarterbacks. Not sometimes you gotta just let a play end and move on to the next play. And it's very hard for guys like Baker Mayfield, who are super hyper competitive. He's just trying to, he's squeezing every ounce of talent out of his frame. But Baker tonight just took, took some shots that he should not take because this, this team in Tampa has got a pretty good defensive front. They have some nice weapons. But if Baker's not playing, they're not a playoff team. Baker is a huge, huge, the most important part of them dominating that division the last several years. And by the way, coaches also get second chances. Todd Bowles in New York didn't feel he quite, he wasn't quite ready to be a head coach. He's done a great job in Tampa. They always come with surprises, always make big plays. They just had a really bad night in special teams. But Tampa wins at 20 to 19 and that is the NFL. Look at the Buccaneers first two games. They could be 02. They're two and oh, they got the quarterback. They made a couple of key situational plays. They have played completely imperfect football and the Bucks are 20 with two very narrow wins.
