Oh, no. Oh boy, Super Bowl fifty. Five rematch week for
Sunday Night. Football on NBC and peacock man. I got
the chills
and Tom Brady, miss that music or last year week for it was
Tom, Brady and Bill Belichick,
Belichick wasn't on the field. Damn. So homes in Brady won't
be on the field at the same time. But that's a helluva.
That's a hell of a way to
enter the Whatever they call it the quarter pole. I was get
pissed off about that. But anyway, that caps week, four
of the 2022
season except for Monday night, football Chiefs,
at Buccaneers the goat for Azazel any goat.
Yeah, a hell of a game. You have the, to the, to cover
athletes from the
Madden. 22 game. Yeah, and and look. Hey,
I still think Brady wouldn't have done it if the Chiefs had
one that's Super Bowl. That's a different issue altogether, but
this is a chance for the Chiefs to it's not really Revenge.
I hate.
That, that narrative because
it's not like they robbed their house. They want a football
game. They did their job and they won, and the Buccaneers
won the Super Bowl, and it was a hell of a game and Mahomes
played out of his mind, and he did everything.
He possibly could to try to will
the Chiefs to Victory. This didn't have to happen that day,
especially on the offensive line when the bad for ya. No,
it's up. It's really amazing. When you sometimes when you see
the highlights and some of the plays and you forget that like
even though it
was what 31 nine foot ball game
to your
You remember, I mean, there was a few big drops by the Chiefs
or Mahomes made some unbelievable plays where you
go, man. That wasn't been a touchdown or that would have
put them with the one-yard line to wear that. Just it shows you
the importance of a great quarterback where they were
being outplayed. But damn, he was borderline. Keeping
the minute.
You can't go wrong with this. Yeah. What, what now it's
great. It's awesome. No, I was just gonna say I'm
the announcement was made not here, but on the Today show,
I don't know why. I don't know why. Because you're, why do
they can hear what goes in. We're not big time enough here.
Randy, I know, I
know it's
just the big, the big peacock.
Here's Mike, Tirico, the new voice of Sunday Night Football
play-by-play on The Today. Show making the announcement of
chiefs bucks week for Sunday night.
Without further Ado. What's the big game? You're going to
announce?
You've got it. Hold it will have the whole schedule bit
later on tonight. But week for Sunday Night Football, October
2nd will be in Tampa Bay for one of the most anticipated
match ups of the Year. Patrick Mahomes.
Kansas City Chiefs
visiting, Tom. Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
on. NBC Sunday night football before last year's Super Bowl.
One, or both of those guys were in five consecutive, Super
Bowls of about as good a quarterback matchup as you can
have week for Sunday Night Football here on NBC.
And that's when it will be and it will be something. And look
there's a lot of great games this year on all networks, but
that's a pretty good one.
And there's always that little push and pull the rooting for
this one. Rooting for that one. But everybody's gonna have
a great schedule. Everybody. There's too many great games
this year. There's too many great teams to not have a crap
load of great games this year.
That's the thing that I think is really going to hit home
when we start seeing the week by week schedule. They're going
to be games that jump off the page. Now. I know that some
teams are going to struggle. So. Bye week, seven, eight,
nine games. That had some shine to them won't,
but I think more than ever before, when we see the full
schedule tonight. We're going to be looking at Scott. We're
going to be the holy crap, even though we already know what
the game is going to be. When you see it set in stone.
It has a different
appeal to it. Well, I think we're it has a chance to be
a crazy year. I mean, again, I know this is all on paper and
all that, but it because of the theme, we've all talked about
in sports media, cover in football because of the great
quarter. We have a lot of good quarterbacks in football.
All period, we're not in a shortage for really good
quarterbacks and,
you know, to your point with AFC to a degree,
we're going to have some teams in the AFC at the halfway
point. We're going to go. Oh man. They're they're they're
almost out of it. They're in trouble here, but it doesn't
mean it's not going to be an exciting matchup or games to
come for follow that because
there's going to be some quarterbacks and some teams on
their that yeah weren't playing that good early in the year,
but are dangerous and you know, it's not like these quarterback
should go. Well. We're not making the playoffs.
Just will fold up the tents and quit for the year.
They're going to continue to
you know, ball out and be a pain in the butt and compete
that way too. So that's where I think it does have a chance to
be a crazy year. But man Brady Mahomes come on week 4
in Tampa,
even though the Super Bowl was two years ago. I still think
that'll have a personal feel to the Chiefs a little bit.
They're going to walk in and remember that day and have
a bad taste in their mouth. And remember how crappy they felt.
There's still too much.
Much of that. Nucleus of a team there
for that to not carry over a little bit,
especially when they get on the field and they go damn. A lot
of those guys that are wearing our damn ring over there.
That's the ones that stole it and I do think that will make
it a little bit personable that way.
Person in the same,
the same, the same venue. Yeah, right, right.
See this is, this is one of the
flukes of the 17th game because the chiefs were just in Tampa
Bay, right in 2020,
right? But because that extra game pits division, champions
from two different conferences on a rotating basis,
that's why the Chiefs are going back to Tampa Bay. We had
Seattle go back to Pittsburgh two years. They did write that.
It's all a rotation. It's all a formula. It's all part of
coming up with that 17th game on top
of the 16 that already had been
baked in. So that's why we're getting Chiefs at bucks two
years later and then two years from now, it'll be bucks
at Chiefs. And, you know,
we can there's always that possibility. They're going to
come across each other that have. They're doing it every
four years. That's so like, so so that'll happen, two years
from now and then next year, like so last year, Kansas
City's team was the pack.
Hers, right. That was their 17th game. Right, right. So
does next year, they go to the the Packers. I didn't.
Here's here. I here's how it works. Yeah, it's two different
tracks. It gets complicated.
You will play for the Chiefs, right? You will play
the Buccaneers guaranteed every four years. Okay? Play all four
teams from their division, every four years. It rotates
it. I don't know, the order for the Chiefs, but it's South
north
east and west. Sure. Rotate wrote a normal schedule is right,
then there's a separate wrote.
Ation
where you've got the three remaining divisions
in the other conference,
you play A team out of one of those divisions based on where
they finish
and where you finish.
So you've got your rotation of, we're going to play all four.
Then you've got another rotation of we're going to play one
from one of the other three divisions
that finished where we did.
So I don't know how it works out every two years, every
three years of Before years, but you know, every four years
you're playing them, right? But then you've got this other
thing cranking through and it's going to be different every
year
because you're not going to play. For example, you're not
going to play the Buccaneers twice in a year. If you're
the Chiefs. Hey, we finished first in the division. This year. We
play every team in the NFC South Island. This. It now
that's not going to happen. Right?
But so it does get complicated but it is possible to see
a team
more than once every four years. You will see a team more
than once every four years. It just question is, which team is
it going to be right? And Is it going to be so?
But, but it does. It does add a little degree of difficulty,
for the great teams? Because,
yeah, you know, you don't see a lot of spread from the best
team in the division of the worst team in the division,
the quality of their schedule. This was another game that is tied
to where you finished last year.
So, first place plays, first place,
fourth place plays fourth, place in theory, in theory.
It should be an easier game for the fourth-placed team, right?
A tougher game. The first place team and yeah, for the who was
in fourth place, in the NFC South last year, was at
the Panthers are the Falcons. I can't remember the pan. Whoever
it was, right?
Okay. So yeah, big difference,
the the
Broncos were in fourth place, right? So so when you're
talking about trying to figure out how,
you know, it's a razor thin margin,
the Chiefs have to play the Bucks
and the Broncos, draw the Panthers
little bit easier for the Broncos to pick up the W, in
that 17th extra game. Than it is for the chief. So that's how
it goes.
