Guesting in the update studio

filling in for Big Jim Murray

were brought you by Draft Kings on 985, the Sportsup and the Simulcast, where we beam across New England and the country on NBC Sports. Boston. Jones is a, to lead off the hour, I think a good question for Maz, something we've heard Maz opine about with different teams and different years in different sports, not that we're crossing sports, but Maz has been known to have a certain opinion about good Boston teams heading down the stretch. And so Jones, this occurred to Jones. Go ahead, Adam. Oh, well, so a lot of people have talked about whether or not the Patriots are going to run the table. Felger yesterday said it's important to get the number one seed. That's the most important thing.

You want the AFC title game here, not in Kansas City.

So I want to know, do the Patriots need a good ass kicking? Do they need a loss, Maz? No, not yet. Ask me again in a few weeks. I'll let you know. Not yet. Yeah, I'll say it. I'll tell you why not yet. because if you get to a stage where you can lose one and still be in contention for the top seat,

then it wouldn't be such a bad thing.

Contention for the top seat or you've sewn up the top seat?

Well, preferably. Because if you get to a stage where you can lose one and still be in contention for the top seat, then it wouldn't be such a bad.

Contention for the top seat or you've sewn up the top seat?

Well, preferably the latter. You don't want to give up the top seed. So football is different in this way. Like, you know, the other sports, you're playing so many games. You start ripping off all these wins. You start thinking you're better than you are. then, you know, sometimes a loss can be healthy. But in the current plight or situation that the Patriots are in, you have to get that top seed. You can't afford to lose a game. Mac Jones is perfect on the road. Yeah, I don't care. I don't care. I just think it's too hard to win in January. I have my doubts about their ability to win here in January with a rookie quarterback, but I like him a lot better than I do going on the road, particularly in like a place like Kansas City. But if they get to, let's say... Here we go. Good. Good. Good. I'm ready for this. Let's see, 12 and 4 is not. Let's say they get two games to go. All they need to do is win one of them. It wouldn't kill me to see them lose in Week 16. Good Jacksonville ass whooping. Yeah. Yeah, just to kind of, you know, awaken them to the reality that it's not as easy as you think it is. I think it's critical in any, you know, in any operation. you've got to be humbled. Because it puts your antenna up. You're a little more focused.

You're sharper. Jones?

I'm not ready to go there yet either. I'd love to go there. I'm not ready to go there yet,

because I just, I don't believe all that much of them. Unless, unless it's like home game,

then you're in a dome in indie,

and then you're somewhere warm in the AFC title game because then Bill might actually let Mac throw, unlike the January conditions in Foxborough. That'd be the only workaround that I can come up with. But no, in the meantime, you want the game in Foxborough. You've got to get the chops. So you see how he works in his snarky take? Yeah, always. Like is there weaved that in there?
