And it's time to look ahead to round two, week 16 for the waiver wire with my boys, D-Bro, Derek Brown, the King of Bros.

0:17.5

And my Patty Cakes, the birthday boy.

0:20.0

He blew out his candle. And now he is hoping that he will be the starting quarterback next week for the Indianapolis Colts. If Philip can do it, why can't Patty? That's what I say. And we're here to break down all the injuries, all the streamers for week 16. And there's a lot going on there. Patty is kind of a birthday for you yesterday. And I want everybody in the comments to wish Pat a happy birthday. But I said, how was your birthday? Would you do? And Pat went right to it. Well, I watched the Green Bay Packer season go up and smoke. That's depressing me. That's sad. I want to think more about your pizza party on Saturday than I want to think about Michael Parsons ACL. Yeah, it was a good time. We got some good carryout pizza. Quiet night with the dogs, good bottle of wine. That's nice. Very nice. That's nice. It sounds wonderful, dude. Yes. The birthday eve was fabulous. Birthday day. Very good. Not so much. Still in his feelings about that.

1:12.1

I've had better gifts than a Micah Parsons' ACL tear for my birthday.

1:16.3

Yeah.

1:17.0

Yeah, that's a tough.

1:17.8

I wasn't the only ACL tear.

1:19.5

Patrick Mahomes also tearing his ACL.

1:22.6

To me, this is the sign from the football gods of them saying, okay, take a step back now, Kansas City next year to take a step forward for the next five or six years. This is where you remake the team this year. This is where you start getting rid of the older players. You start revitalizing this team. So you can go on a second run with Patrick Mahomes. You know, when Tom Brady got Randy Moss, things got better for Tom for Tom Brady again. When, you know, you surrounded people with a running game and all of a sudden, more support, things got better again. There's a second leg to this Chief's dynasty that can happen, but they've got to move on and kind of push forward. DeBrow, don't you think? Yeah, I do. I was, I heard the setup and I knew exactly where you were going with the Brady stuff. I knew it was coming. And it's not wrong, man. Like wrong. The two the big when guys get the three straight Super Bowls, I mean, look, I mean, you know you can win with this quarterback. Okay. You can. The big checklist for the chiefs is they need to go out and get an ex receiver and they need to go out and get a running back. Now, whether you want to go sign Breeze Hall or do it in the draft or what have you, have at it. But the chiefs don't have anybody to beat man coverage right now and they do not have a consistent running game. So offensive line gets healthy in the off season and they can get those two parts of pieces. I think the defense is good enough. Yeah, Casey could be back.

2:34.9

Yeah, we need wide receivers who are more than, you know, 510 and a buck 70. Like we need some big body bowl. Tell that to Andy Reed. Tell that's Andy Reed. Oh, God, we got to change what we're doing here because it's not working anymore. It worked for a long time. It was great. But now we have to reinvent ourselves. And you can. Look, you know, how many times

2:51.3

share has reinvented herself? I'm pretty sure the Kansas City Chiefs can do it. Come on. Let's go, everybody. Madonna, oh, the year ago, Lady Gaga, all the great pop divas. And now Andy Reed. Right. It's time for you to reinvent yourself yet again, Andy Reid. All right. We're going to have more about Mahomes because he's going to be a guy we have to replace. We're going to talk about

3:09.0

some of these injuries and the impact of the lack of knowledge we're going to have and the knowledge we do have. But before we do, don't forget to subscribe to the channel.

And we'll be announcing the winner right here of the teeny tiny loser mini belt giveaway from trophy smack. All so real quick let's touch on mahomes for a second two with mahomes being out you might not realize this boys and girls but because he was playing the houston texans last week a lot of people just dropped jacobi broussad and said well this run was fun we're not doing it anymore and guess what he finishes the qb one again okay it doesn't matter't matter who he's playing against Jacobi Bressad's getting your fantasy points. This week, he gets the Atlanta Falcons. And the Falcons, look, I know the Falcons at one point has a good numbers against opposing past offenses, but now we're at a point where, you know, these teams aren't playing for much. You saw like Mike Evans go off last week.

5:04.6

There's no reason why Jacoby Brissette can't get it done. So if you're in a more shallow league and you have Mahomes and you're still alive, great. I think Brissette's the pivot. And he's only 50% rostered on Sleeper because so many people dropped them last week, anticipating the bad matchup. I want to go right to the quarterback streamers because I feel like this is the hot topic.
