Uh. 30 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 1: Four great games this weekend between eight teams that are 31 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 1: all very good teams. So we're gonna there will be 32 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: no stinkers in the bunch. What's what are you laughing at? Mark? Well, 33 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: of course there are eight good teams. Are the Panthers 34 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: that good? They do have a losing record with their 35 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: starting stop with this nonsense, they are a good team 36 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: now they have straight Well, they've gotten this far, They've 37 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: earned it. How many times do we have to say 38 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: they are materially different team than they were when they 39 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: were losing games at That's why, and that's why West 40 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: Later in the show, spoiler Alert will be picking the 41 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 1: Panthers this weekend. I'm gonna spoil your spoiler, alright, So 42 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: that is that is what the show is all about. 43 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: This is going to be the big preview show. So 44 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. Obviously, we're gonna go through every game, 45 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: but we're gonna do it really an in depth Greg, 46 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: We're gonna get dig in on all these games. I know, West, 47 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: you've been studying, you've been watching film, Mark, You're doing 48 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: the things that Mark Sessler does. Greg's the boss for 49 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 1: a reason. So you guys prepared for this preview? What 50 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,800 Speaker 1: kind of things? That was your hint that Mark didn't 51 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: really prepare that much. Well, you know that's fine, say that. 52 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: Well you said it in so many words. Alright. So 53 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: we Yeah, we're gonna go through the four games. And 54 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: where do we want to start? Because there's so many 55 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 1: great games here? Why don't you decide? I will decide 56 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,239 Speaker 1: we will start with the a f C. We'll start 57 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: with Greg's team. Why don't we do that it Greg's 58 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: New England Patriots, who are hosting the Baltimore Ravens. We 59 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: we've been tracking this all week. How nervous Greg was 60 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: about this game one being wearing aviators and saying I'm 61 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: a cool guy, and then walking off into the sunset 62 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: with a cigarette and ten being just urinating all over himself. 63 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: He put himself at five or six as we go 64 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: deeper into the week. Now, as we were recording this 65 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: on Thursday afternoon, Greg, any changes into your feeling? Do 66 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: you have any type of bad vibe or good vibe 67 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: about how this is going to go for you? R 68 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: New England Patriots. I have a good vibe because I 69 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: think the Patriots are a better team. It's all good. 70 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: They are a better team. I mean, that's what happens. 71 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,119 Speaker 1: I've seen them lose one of these games every year 72 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: for whatever how many six straight years they missed one playoffs. 73 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: You know, it happens. And we did get reminded downstairs 74 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: before we came up. NFL Network was playing the uh, 75 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: the famous Billy Cundiff game, which was the game the 76 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 1: Ravens lost in the a f C title game. Uh, 77 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: they go back a year later and they win. So 78 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: this is a team that's obviously doesn't have any fear 79 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: going to Foxborough. They know how to play in that building. 80 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: They're not gonna be intimidated. And Joe Flacco was playing 81 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: well and West I know we talked about this a 82 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: little earlier. Um, your thoughts on Flacco is, should we 83 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,239 Speaker 1: assume that he's gonna be Joe Flacco with a magic 84 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: pixie dust again. No, he's not facing the Steelers Secondary's 85 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: facing the Patriots secondary. And Darrell Rivas and Brandon Browner 86 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: and Devin mccordy are better than Tory Smith and Steve Smith. 87 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: This is a matchup advantage for the Patriots, not not 88 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,799 Speaker 1: the Ravens quarterback who has been playing well in the playoffs. 89 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: I think that emphasizes how many different parts there are 90 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: these two teams since that last playoff game between these 91 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: two more than half the teams by far, thirty six 92 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: different Ravens from their title team and thirty two different Patriots. 93 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: In New England under Belichick has not had this secondary 94 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: in a decade. I mean, there's been nothing close to this. 95 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: And finally, I don't know why. No. Number One, I 96 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,920 Speaker 1: love Belichick, but it took him this long to get 97 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: these kind of pieces together in the secondary. But well, 98 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: they wasn't. It wasn't from not trying. They tried to 99 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: draft people. It was crazy. Well, and let's let's not 100 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: hide the fact that Tom Brady is the best cold 101 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: weather and home field quarterback in NFL history. Flacco does 102 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: not have the advantage here. This is not a hydr 103 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 1: women and Children, New England situation that everyone's portrayed to 104 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: be this week. Are you ready for You've been angry 105 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: West by the way that that people have been just counting. 106 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: I'm not discounting the Patriots, but talking about that. Wow, 107 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: what a dangerous team. I mean, you have been literally 108 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: a lot angrier than I have about this. It's I 109 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: like angers. I just thought it was silly that the Ravens. 110 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: You know, we've thought all along that they were a 111 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: pretty good team. You and I have, and probably Mark 112 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: and we've said every week throughout the season they should 113 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: be favored to win. But they ended up not being 114 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: that good of a team, ended up having to force 115 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: their way into the playoffs, didn't play well early on. 116 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 1: But this what happened last week is they won one 117 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 1: game and everybody over everybody magnifies that one game like 118 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: they do all year, and ignores the rest of the season. 119 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: This is not that great of a team. The Patriots 120 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: are clearly a much better football team. Well, then your 121 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: head coach starts all the debates that I think got 122 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 1: some of this going by saying we've got the best 123 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: quarterback in football and that that's where we're gonna start 124 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: to get annoyed because everyone's responding to that nonsense. He's 125 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: not the best quarterback football. Oh, the Patriots have to be. 126 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: This is the worst case scenario for them, as there 127 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 1: are some things about the Ravens that should give them 128 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 1: pause though, which is well, A I like a quarterback 129 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: and flackle that's that is always going to be aggressive. 130 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: That's what you want in the playoffs, so that that's dangerous. 131 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,200 Speaker 1: He's gonna go deep. He's gonna throw a deep and 132 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: then they have a very talented, big front line kind 133 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: of like the Jets. Dude, and people want to like 134 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: discount a Week sixteen game against the Jets, but that's 135 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: a fairly similar type of scheme. It's a coach that's 136 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 1: very familiar with Belichick, just like Dean ps the Ravens 137 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: defensive coordinators, and they gave him all sorts of problems. Uh, 138 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: he didn't know where the blitzers are coming in that game. 139 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: They have a big front. If you can't run the 140 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: ball when you're the Patriots, they're just not that great 141 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: at offense. If they don't run the ball. They need 142 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: to be able to run the ball because teams aren't 143 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: going to really put extra people up there. Tom Brady 144 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: is not a good deep thrower. Everyone talks about Peyton 145 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: Manning struggles throwing the deep ball. Tom Brady is the 146 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: third worst completion percentage of any quarterback in the league 147 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 1: throwing over twins. So they have to count on these 148 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: ten twelve played drives, and they lead the league in 149 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: that category. They're good at it, but if you can't 150 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 1: run it, it's hard to pull this though. Yeah, that's 151 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: a huge help. That's been hard of the reason they 152 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: haven't been who they were of late. Only two other 153 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: wide receivers in the NFL have more receptions than him 154 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: over the last two years, and he's a little under 155 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: against the Baltimore secondary that it's not barring Bernard Poler's 156 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: Pollard sighting Gronk, I I would assume is gonna go. 157 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: That would be crazy if Bernard Pollard did show up 158 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 1: to this game just like took Gronk out on the sidelines. Yeah, 159 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: at what point does do the people of New England 160 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 1: rise up against Bernard Polers? Yeah, that would be the point. Well, 161 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 1: if he shows up to this game. You mentioned how 162 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: the Patriots secondary is good, and and that's true, and 163 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: I think the the way that that shows up in 164 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: this game is that Belichick now is much more creative 165 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: than he was with these old teams. We're starting to 166 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: see the Belichick of two thousand three, two thousand four, 167 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: because he's got it's almost like a reverse Patriots team. 168 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: He's got the most athletic, but not very stout, not 169 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: very big group of defenders he's ever had. I mean, 170 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 1: Jamie Collins, Donta High Tower and Chandler Jones. I don't 171 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: know if there's a more athletic trio of defenders on 172 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: on the same team in the league. I mean, these 173 00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: guys can play inside and out. They a lot of times, 174 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: they play Jones in airs at defensive tackle, they play 175 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: high Tower and Collins sometimes on the outside. That's a 176 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: wild looking group and they mix it all up. High 177 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: Tower plays everywhere, and and that hopefully, as a Patriots fan, 178 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: will confuse Flacca. By the way, West, your boy Steve 179 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 1: Smith is gonna make a couple of big plays in 180 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,719 Speaker 1: this game. It's in his DNA. He's gonna do it 181 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,959 Speaker 1: and Joe flack Go has had five straight playoff games 182 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: over a hundred pass rating that's tied for second all time. 183 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: I think, I know the Pittsburgh secondaries not too great 184 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: and we should not get too excited about that. But 185 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: we've seen Flacco when he got hot last time, he 186 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: shredded the Niners in the Super Bowl. I mean, I 187 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: got a feeling that they're gonna score some points against 188 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: this defense. I don't think Reeves is gonna get lit up, 189 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,439 Speaker 1: but I see this as a close game. This is 190 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 1: gonna be to me, six points, three points, something like that. 191 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: I think the Patriots win, but I think the Ravens 192 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:31,719 Speaker 1: are gonna give them a battle here. For sure. I 193 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: think the world of Steve Smith, but he went two 194 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: months without making plays. I mean, that's so in his career, 195 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: he's not faired well against. Revas. Have been a lot 196 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: of exposure, but he's not faired well against It'll be 197 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 1: interesting see if Revis plays Tory Smith or whether he's 198 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: more on I tend to think he might be more 199 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: on Steve Smith and Kyle Arrington. Who's the guy they 200 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: put on t Y Hilton. He's on Tory Smith, and 201 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: they have a safety over the top. But the thing 202 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,199 Speaker 1: I'm worried about as a Patriots fan more than anything 203 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,120 Speaker 1: is Flacco just throwing bombs down the field and Brandon 204 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: Browner and Patrick Chung being heavily involved just getting exactly 205 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: exactly forty yard penalties because Browners. People talk about Browner 206 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: like he's some sort of asset. He's average at best. 207 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: Won't that would be good because the tight ends last 208 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 1: week had a big, big time game for for Baltimore. 209 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: So the whole status that Patrick Chung is like on 210 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: the field every snap, I don't know he has, but 211 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 1: there's something about It's just it's a worrisome thing. The 212 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: Patriots rotate a lot less. One thing I noticed when 213 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: I went back and watching him. They had a game 214 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago where seven of their defenders 215 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: played every snap. I don't know if any teams in 216 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: the league do that. No, they didn't. It's very different 217 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: for them. They've had two weeks to prepare for this game. 218 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: That's not a small thing. As well as Belichick has 219 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: game planned this year, and he has out coached quite 220 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: a few guys this year, and then they've had a 221 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: week now to listen to everyone tell them how scared 222 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 1: they should be about the Ravens. I think the Patriots 223 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: will be ready to play, all right, So let's make 224 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 1: our picks in this game. I already that I think 225 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: I see like a twenty three to seventeen type win 226 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: for the Patriots. Let's go around the horn here. We'll 227 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: start with Mark Cessler. You're pick, buddy boy. I think 228 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna see New England take this game without a 229 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 1: whole lot of problems. About thirty five to whoa interesting 230 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 1: number there, West. I think the offense gets shut down, 231 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: really I do. I think the Ravens. I think this 232 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: is a really good matchup for the Patriots as far 233 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: as the Ravens passing game. And I think the Patriots 234 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: go over thirty points and the Ravens go under thirty points. 235 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: I like this, guys, keep talking points. Greg. Well, this 236 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: week we did previews on the site and uh I 237 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: drew the homer uh assignment of you know, picking the 238 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: Patriots game. So I guess I have to stick with 239 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: that score. I think I said twenty seven nineteen or 240 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: something in that ballpark where they win by nine, ten points, 241 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: eight points. Alright, So Patriots across the board again moving 242 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: into the a f C title game, and Greg will 243 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: be all happy and giddy because his boys and Tommy 244 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: and Billy, and we're rolling back towards the big game 245 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: in February. Let's move on to the second Saturday game. 246 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: The Carolina Panthers, finally a five hundred team. They're now 247 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: eight eight and one after their playoff victory over the Cardinals, 248 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: the Ryan Linley Rhett led Cardinals. Now they get a 249 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: I would call it slightly tougher matchup. They had two 250 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 1: Century Link field to face the Seattle Seahawks, the number 251 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: one seed in the NFC and thought by many to 252 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: be essentially unstoppable in their building, especially this time of year. 253 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: I think this is the game. If everyone we're gonna 254 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: take a guess what will be the blowout, it would 255 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,520 Speaker 1: be this one. But Chris Wessling, you are high in 256 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: the Panthers. Do you think they could put up a 257 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: fight here and make this a game? Absolutely. I We've 258 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: pointed this out many times. They are a materially different 259 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: team than they were when they were losing all these games. 260 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: They play different players at many different positions. They run 261 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: the ball well. They have their second longest streak of 262 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: a one yard rushing games in franchise history right now. 263 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: They defend the ball well because they're highly athletic on defense. 264 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: The one problem they have and I think every part 265 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 1: of me believes the Seahawks are going to exploit this. 266 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: Since the beginning to December, when they've played their best 267 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: ball and they've been a shutdown defense, they've also allowed 268 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: five yards per carry on the ground, which is the 269 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: highest total of any playoff team right now. It's interesting 270 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: because they're facing a team in Seattle that also early 271 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: in the year we thought one thing about them, and 272 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: by the season's end and they got healthy, that was 273 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: a big part of it a completely different team. I 274 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: I just I think this is not a great matchup 275 00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 1: for Cam Newton necessarily, Like I don't think it a 276 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: receiver go over thirty eight yards to the air last week. 277 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: If they can't run the ball on Seattle, they are 278 00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: going to get into a nasty situation potentially through the air, 279 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 1: especially if they fall behind fourteen nothing at the end 280 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: of the first quarter and Cam is not throwing the 281 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: ball very well right now, that's when you know you 282 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:52,839 Speaker 1: could probably turn the game off on the third quarter. Well, 283 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 1: if there's a. If there's a mirror image team in 284 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: the league for the Seahawks, it's the Panthers. I mean 285 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: they're saying that themselves. You're right, Yeah, they're they're very 286 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: more teams. The Seahawks are just better at every single thing, 287 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 1: and the Panthers have kept it close when they've played, 288 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,199 Speaker 1: but those games have been in Carolina and Seattle is 289 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: not a great road team, so that sort of makes sense. 290 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: You mentioned that the Panthers run game is struggling and 291 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: they're going up against the Seattle running attack. That's not 292 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: just good, it's historically good. You you mentioned in our 293 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: NFL Now video. I think what was it the three 294 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: things to watch? This was our confident call our confident 295 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: Call video. But they have the third highest yards per 296 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: carry of all time, third highest rushing yards per game 297 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: of all time behind the two thousand six Falcons, and 298 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 1: I believe one of the drone bettest Steelers teams and 299 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: football outsiders who you know, they put numbers on every 300 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: single play of the season, and they had the Seattle 301 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: as a top three I think running attack this this 302 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: year was one of the three best running attacks since 303 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: they've started keeping track about fifteen sixty years ago. So 304 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: I mean that's the type of level that Marshall Lynch 305 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: is playing. I think Lynch is playing better than he 306 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: ever has. And I don't remember a order back since 307 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: Michael Vick being this efficient as a runner as Russell 308 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: Wilson is. I was gonna say, who's a better, uh 309 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: quarterback with the ball in his hand, getting outside the 310 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 1: pocket and taking off Newton or Wilson. I think it's 311 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: absolutely Wilson. I think Wilson is better at just about 312 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: everything than than except maybe third downs. Here's something interesting 313 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 1: you talked about West them, how they're kind of mirror 314 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 1: images of each other. Michael Bennett, the Seahawks defensive ed, 315 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: had something interesting to say, and I want you guys 316 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: to try to break this down for me. Uh, this 317 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: is what Bennett said. It's so much alike. Man. It's 318 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: like you look at a girl who looks like you 319 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: and you find out it's your cousins. So you can't 320 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 1: go on a date with her, even though you'd like 321 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 1: to because she looks like you. But then you see 322 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: her friend and her friends really hot, and you're like, 323 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: that's not my cousin. So it's good, okay, alright, So 324 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: it made sense until the friend was take me through this. So, yeah, 325 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: their cousins makes it. Who is the friend in this? 326 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: If then it breaks down, you're looking for too much logic. 327 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: What we learned here is that he thinks a woman 328 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: that looks like him is going to be hot, which 329 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 1: I would not think that would be. That would be grotesque. 330 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: Grotesque is strong. He could be listening or someone. No. No, 331 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: I meant like, if I met a woman that looked 332 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: like me, but as a woman, I wouldn't really want 333 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: to get into it. Michael Bennett's cousin is very attractive. Yeah, 334 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 1: so she's if she's on the open market. I mean 335 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: that I wait a second, let's bring this out because 336 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: we would be very good to get West wiped up 337 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: by the end of or at least on the road. 338 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: Or tell us Bennett's cousin is the candidate. Let's look 339 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: into a little Bennett action. We'll check it. Maybe if 340 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: they make the Super Bowl we could ask him. I'm 341 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: I'm guessing that Michael Bennett's cousin is This woman is 342 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: sasquatch proportions. That's not your style, you know what, I 343 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: don't discriminate. That's fine, alright, So I don't know if 344 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: she'd be into me though. If she probably wear heels, 345 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: it might not be. It might not work, all right, 346 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: get us back on track, Mark, I don't know. I 347 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 1: feel I feel to serve because Bennett, I thought took 348 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: us in to the right place. In the end, he 349 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,679 Speaker 1: found a friend that was, you know, linked to the cousin. 350 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 1: He's not going down the road with the cousin. He's 351 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: found an attractive friend. All right. I'm gonna go to Greg. Greg, 352 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: get us back on track, well, Bennett. One of the 353 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 1: reasons why I think the Seahawks will roll in this 354 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: game is because they have four seven different defenders that 355 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: can all take over a game at a different time. Benn, 356 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,959 Speaker 1: It's one of them. The fact that Bruce Irvin was 357 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,919 Speaker 1: playing so well late in the season that he was 358 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 1: the maybe the best player on the field and two 359 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 1: of their last four or five games, you throw him 360 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: in the mix. Wagner being on fight. It's just like, 361 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: it's ridiculous how many good players they have. Wagner's on 362 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: absolute fire. He's playing as well as any linebacker in 363 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: the NFL. Panthers are the only team that could ruin 364 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: NFC or championship weekend. For me, if they ended up 365 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: somehow sneaking by and something crazy happens, that would be great. 366 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 1: I want Seahawks Packers or Seahawks Cowboys. Love that, give 367 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: me yeah, but it would be such a great game 368 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: if the Panthers won. I feel the way Wes you 369 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: do about this Ravens Patriots game, where you're you're annoyed 370 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: that everyone is saying, wait a minute, just acknowledge that 371 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: New England's gonna drop a megaton hammer. This is the Seahawks, 372 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 1: the best team in the NFC at home, that is 373 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 1: better at everything that Carolina does. This game is not 374 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 1: going to be close as they are with you there. 375 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: But I'm annoyed that people are acting like the Panthers 376 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: are the three and eight Panthers and they're just not fair. 377 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 1: That's fair, and I don't know it. The way that 378 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 1: the Seahawks play, you just never know because their style 379 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: of play doesn't always lend itself to big blogs. That's 380 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:44,359 Speaker 1: why they trail six nothing at halftime in a huge 381 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: game against the Rams. I mean, because the Rams are 382 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: blitzing their linebackers, They're getting a ton of pressure on 383 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. I don't know if it was six with 384 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: a defensive score in the fourth quarter in a game 385 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: where you know Sean Hill had some flukey. You know, 386 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,160 Speaker 1: they had two turnovers in the fourth quarter. All I'm 387 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: saying is, yes, Seattle one, but it was a close 388 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 1: game where the Rams should have been ahead in the 389 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. How can the Panthers not compete? They can 390 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: compete to the Saints playoff game last year where the 391 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: Seahawks dominated Drew Brees through the first half and needed 392 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: a late score to kind of get some cushion there. 393 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,160 Speaker 1: All right, let's go around the horn. Now pick this game. 394 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: Let's let's include the scores. So I think scores are fun, 395 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: especially this time of year. Let's see how close you 396 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: can get. We'll start with Mark Sessler. What are you 397 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: thinking now this game is going to be I understand 398 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: what you're saying real quick that it's not gonna be 399 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,160 Speaker 1: a blowout from the start, but Seattle is gonna find 400 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 1: a way to drop some points third quarter. Get hot 401 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: on the ground. I'm looking thirty one to ten. I 402 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,720 Speaker 1: picked seventeen thirteen when I wrote this story up early 403 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,919 Speaker 1: in the week. That was before we found out Starlettula 404 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: is out for the playoffs. Excuse me, it's thank you. 405 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: I feel smarter now. Somehow I'm gonna actually doc three 406 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: point from the Panthers. Yes, and well, I came upon 407 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: further research involving the Seahawks rushing attack that makes me 408 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: feel better about the Seahawks. So I'm gonna go twenty 409 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 1: to ten, probably a late score for the Seahawks, giving 410 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 1: them more cushion, very scientific their west. I guess maybe 411 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: I'm alone here. I think this is a blowout. I 412 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: think Jonathan Stewart's their only chance if he goes thirty 413 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,480 Speaker 1: for one sixty seven and keeps the ball, keeps the 414 00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 1: ball in their possession and all that stuff. But I 415 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: see them falling behind early and getting ugly where Cam 416 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: Newton's gotta throw, And I'm not I have no faith 417 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 1: in Cam Newton right now to win a game in 418 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 1: that spot against that defense. Give me a thirty eight 419 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: to ten Seahawks win. I had thirty one ten. You 420 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,200 Speaker 1: are You're You're definitely not alone. You're definitely not You're 421 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 1: definitely not listening to Mark as Okay, but thirty eight 422 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,120 Speaker 1: ten is a bigger blowout than marks one. Didn't hear 423 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 1: anyone else on this show. I don't know. I don't 424 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: know what you guys did in math, but I know 425 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,359 Speaker 1: thirty eight to ten is a bigger blowout. Greg, I'll 426 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: go to seven. I do think it could be close 427 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:08,920 Speaker 1: to start, but ultimately let's go. Uh. Paul Richardson as 428 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: the key factor. Who's been We're introducing a key factor, Stay, 429 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: I had more points to make. I'm jamn it in here. 430 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: I'm just saying they're they're making him a big part 431 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: of the He looks like a halfway decent receiver for 432 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: this team. By the way, he's going to this game. 433 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,800 Speaker 1: You can tell us about m assignment. Yeah, maybe we'll 434 00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: have him on the podcast to talk about it. There 435 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: used to be another receiver started with a P and 436 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: Richardson and he was nicknamed Snoopy. I always want to 437 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: call Paul Richardson Snoopy Richardson. For some reason, you could 438 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: Titans drafted a guy in the fourth round. It was 439 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with the team that you're to, by 440 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: the way, the Tytoons. Let's calm down, Tennessee. I know 441 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: you're in a bad spot right now and as a franchise, 442 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 1: and I'm not here to pile on, but when you're 443 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: twitter feed, you guys decide that you have a You 444 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 1: sit down in a conference room and it's like, oh, 445 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 1: it's the fifteenth Anniversity or the Music City Miracle. We're 446 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: gonna live tweet the Music City Miracle. But the entire game. Uh, 447 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 1: it's one of those ideas where you need to At 448 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: first everyone's like, oh, that's pretty cool idea, but then 449 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 1: you gotta think is it really a cool idea? Because 450 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: when you're live tweeting fullback Harry Jones just running for 451 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 1: two yards, and then you with hashtags involved, and then 452 00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: so they go through the whole game. Some guy that 453 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: got paid handsomely at Titans headquarters sat in front of 454 00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: a computer for three and a half hours and tweeted this. 455 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 1: And then after all this, and Frank Wi Chick laterals 456 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: at the Kevin Dyson and and they get through all that, 457 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,959 Speaker 1: and they post videos and clips the St. Louis Rams, 458 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: who you might remember beat that Titans team in the 459 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 1: Super Bowl that year. Uh, just post look forward to 460 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 1: seeing you in Atlanta, and then a picture of Kurt 461 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: one or hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. Game over the sport. 462 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,239 Speaker 1: Titans even get destroyed on their little novel concept on 463 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: Twitter that hurts. I like that you have the Titans 464 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: gathering in a conference room and discussing this sounds just 465 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: like a rogue event by some know. Think about you 466 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,000 Speaker 1: know this building. I like that you think he's making 467 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: a lot of money. I would definitely a sandwich that 468 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: you make more than you think of Mark. Think about 469 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: this office, and then think about the massive group think 470 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: that came into coming up with that idea. Probably there 471 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: were probably croissans involved, coffee, tea, laps on the back, 472 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: many slaps of promotion was involved. Years. Um, where were we? 473 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: Let's move on. We all pick our games. Yeah, good, good, 474 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,160 Speaker 1: Let's move to Sunday the Dallas This is the game 475 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: right here for me. I love this game for you. 476 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I can only speak for myself. The Dallas 477 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys at lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. A 478 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 1: showdown of two of the best quarterbacks all season, and 479 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: and maybe some people think the Packers are the best 480 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 1: team in the league. Not everyone thinks the Seahawks are 481 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 1: the best. The Cowboys are obviously lucky to be alive 482 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 1: after that controversial win over the Lines, but now they 483 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: go into Green Bay and the question I have. I'm 484 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: confident that the Packers will take care of business, but 485 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 1: I'm not confident that Aaron Rodgers is remotely healthy. So 486 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: that adds a whole another level of intrigue, and none 487 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: of us can speculate on whether he'll finish the game 488 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: or not. But it does make this game even more interesting. Mark, 489 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 1: I'll start with you, do you believe the Cowboys can 490 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: score some points in this game? Yeah? I think the 491 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: Cowboys could score points on any team in the league. 492 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 1: And Green Bay's defense is better than it was last season, 493 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: certainly the year before, but their run defense, you know, 494 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 1: they held the Buccaneers to sixteen yards and it makes 495 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 1: what they did on the ground over the last month 496 00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: look better because of that. But they're not They're not 497 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: pristine in terms of being able to stop opposing rushers. Uh. 498 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: They only face two top five rushers all season. One 499 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 1: of them was Lynch. She went for over a hundred yards, 500 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 1: McCoy had eighty eight, and here comes to Marco Murray 501 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,239 Speaker 1: and you're facing the best offensive line of football. So 502 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 1: the point is, do you think Dallas can come in 503 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 1: and do what it's done all season long? When it's 504 00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 1: succeeded I do. Will it be easy? No, Do you 505 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 1: have to keep green Bay off the field for a 506 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 1: big chunk of the games you haven't have a chance 507 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: to outscore them? Yes you do, But have they done 508 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: that all season long? Haven't that petered out since the 509 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: start of December. It's they're not playing at the peak 510 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,919 Speaker 1: level they were before. But here we are down to 511 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: this one game. I'm picking Dallas. Wow, he whoa look 512 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: at you, sir, defend your hero. I thought you were gonna, 513 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,119 Speaker 1: you know, just talk about how that you thought this 514 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 1: would be a close game and then you pick the Packers, 515 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: but you actually think that Cowboys steal it. I do 516 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: think that. I don't think that. I don't think it's 517 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: gonna be one of these games where Green Bay implodes 518 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: like they have when they play the Giants in the playoffs, 519 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:49,639 Speaker 1: the way that they failed to San Francisco a fe 520 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,800 Speaker 1: years ago. Totally different team. Green Bay's offense is going 521 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: to score points. I just think Dallas wins in a shootout. 522 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: A little bit of magic, a little bit of Tony 523 00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: Romo magic. I'm not saying I'm not sitting here saying 524 00:25:59,960 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 1: the credit team or that, you know, let's line up 525 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: all the mathematical logarithms and figure out Oh no, wait, 526 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: Green Bay is way better. We get that, but this 527 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: is this is this doesn't always happened according to narrative 528 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Well, if Rodgers can't make plays after this, 529 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: like snap when pressure gets to him, not that the 530 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,199 Speaker 1: Cowboys really apply that much pressure in general. I mean, 531 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: they're a totally different team. If there is no Rodgers, 532 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: this is a six intenting and if if there's a 533 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 1: non mobile Rodgers, I don't know if it's a playoff team. 534 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 1: And I'm not sure. I will say this also about 535 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Uh, maybe DeMarco Murray isn't moving as well 536 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: as he was earlier this season, but I don't think 537 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: this Cowboys teams linked into the playoffs by any stretch. 538 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: They absolutely destroyed the Colts, who three of us picked 539 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,719 Speaker 1: to beat the Broncos. Uh this weekend, and you know 540 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,120 Speaker 1: they got lucky, and you know, I I just think 541 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,959 Speaker 1: this is a Cowboys team that that maybe we should stop, 542 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: you know, under rating. So so I like, I like 543 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,320 Speaker 1: where you're going with this, Mark. I don't know if 544 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: I could join you on it, it seems no that 545 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: would be I mean, I'm probably gonna get tossed off 546 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: a if here. It's not crazy. I don't think it's crazy. 547 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: I think the Packers should be heavily favored in this game, 548 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 1: and it depends on Rogers calf. Greg mentioned this on 549 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: our video earlier, and Mark probably has some feelings in 550 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: this direction. I know. Any When I wrote the preview, 551 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 1: we jokingly discussed that the player under pressure should be 552 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:23,959 Speaker 1: Matt Flynt because we could see Matt flynn appearance. I mean, 553 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,959 Speaker 1: that would not surprise anyone. And to me, that's if 554 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,919 Speaker 1: Matt Flynn hits the field in this game, the Cowboys 555 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,959 Speaker 1: win handily. No, no, I just got the I just 556 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: thought of a Matt Flynn Packers led team facing the 557 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: Panthers in the n as the titled game. But here, 558 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 1: here's the thing. If Rogers is okay and Matt Flynn 559 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: doesn't at the field and Rodgers is close to where 560 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,359 Speaker 1: he normally is, the Cowboys defense can finally put to rest. 561 00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 1: Everyone's saying, wow, what a what a great overachieving job 562 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: that they've done putting up for like a really good defence. 563 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: Then I get it. The coaching staff has done a 564 00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: good job. They hustle, they play hard, but they're not creative. 565 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:04,800 Speaker 1: They're not a good defense. They're not even an above 566 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: average defense. And when you play a team like the Packers, 567 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 1: who are at peak uh, you know, crushing offensive talent 568 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: right now with their wide receivers and the running game 569 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:16,920 Speaker 1: which is doing as well as it does, it's like, 570 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 1: I don't think they have a chance, and they don't 571 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: try to confuse you at all. They're they're what Greg 572 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: Cosell would call like an an execution defense, but they're 573 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,520 Speaker 1: gonna get executed if Aaron Rodgers is out there. Another 574 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: thing for the cool generated the most turnover since week fourteen. 575 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 1: But the problem there is you go into Green Bay 576 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: where Aaron Rodgers has not thrown in interception at home 577 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,160 Speaker 1: all season. Who's who's covering Randall Cop? Like? Is it is? It? 578 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: Is it? Church? I mean who is covering him? In 579 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: the Kevin patra Our man coming at you has pointed 580 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: this out that the Cowboys weakness more than any other 581 00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 1: on defense is that you can really make a lot 582 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: of yards after the catch on them, especially on screens 583 00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 1: and crossing routes. That's Randall Cops specialty. In Jordan's Jordy 584 00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,960 Speaker 1: Nels is no slouch. After the couch. I mean, this 585 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: is a this is a bad matchup for the Cowboys. Second, 586 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: and I don't even know necessarily that the Cowboys have 587 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: the best offensive line in this game, at least playing 588 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: right now, because if the Cowboys offense has a weakness, 589 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: it's when you look at their struggles. When they've had 590 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: some games that they struggled, they've been a great offense. 591 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: It's communication between their offensive line and Romo. I mean, 592 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: their first half last week until that one play right 593 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: at the end which saved him, was an unmitigated disaster. 594 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,479 Speaker 1: Free rushers just coming coming at Romo. Sometimes they were 595 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: getting beat one on one facing that defense. This week, 596 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: No they're they're not. But Dom Capers has had his troubles, 597 00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 1: but he doesn't need an invitation to get creative and 598 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: to do all this double a gat stuff where they 599 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,960 Speaker 1: had they just had a hard time like talking between 600 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: them and Romo. Who's getting who. I watched one play 601 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: where they had seven rushers seven they had a max 602 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: protect where you have seven offensive lineman and there was 603 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 1: only five people Russian and two people just and clean 604 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 1: just because no one knew where to go. I think 605 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: they're juggernaut nature of the Packers offense cannot be overstated. 606 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,520 Speaker 1: If Rogers is healthy enough to move around, even if 607 00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 1: he can't move around, if he can sit in the 608 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: pocket and throw he has I know you wrote this 609 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,720 Speaker 1: mark the three highest single season passer ratings at home 610 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: in NFL history. Two thousand and this year is the highest. 611 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,600 Speaker 1: They average twenty more points per game at home than 612 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: they do on the road, and that's with taking their 613 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 1: foot off the gas pedal for a lot of third 614 00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: and fourth quarters. They could average thirty or forty more 615 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: points per game at home. I mean, and the weather 616 00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: is you know, it's not the number one factor. But 617 00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 1: this is not a poor This is an outrageous networks 618 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: Randy Moss all week. They're putting that, sorry guy. They 619 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: we have monitors in our newsroom that show everything that's 620 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: going on every place. We have cameras set up. And 621 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: the decision makers at the NFL media great. They make 622 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: a lot of great decisions. I'll tell you what, including 623 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 1: hiring all us. But I will say putting poor Randy 624 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: us outside at lambeau Field for all of his hits. 625 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: I feel bad because we see him when he's not 626 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: on camera and he is looking gold he's You've got 627 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: Connor or up in Seattle drinking crap beers and coffee 628 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: in the morning, and you've got Randy Moss in forty 629 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: four layers of clothing with ice frozen into his beard, 630 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:22,440 Speaker 1: and well it's whiskers with beard coming off. I talked 631 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 1: about Rogers. Calf is obviously a huge factor in the 632 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: fact that it's freezing like that you would think wouldn't help. 633 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,719 Speaker 1: What about Tony Rama's back, like he's had a huge 634 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 1: problem all year, like, is that he did not play 635 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 1: that well for most of last week. He avoided making 636 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: the big mistake, but he was inaccurate. I don't think 637 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: he's gonna get I don't think he's gonna get hurt. 638 00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 1: But if a guy is serious back problems and ribbon 639 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: and you're getting that cold, give me a break. Time 640 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,680 Speaker 1: to make our picks for this game. Mark you said 641 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: the Cowboys win. What's a score? I will stick with 642 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,360 Speaker 1: what I put on the site. Thirty one Dallas me 643 00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:05,040 Speaker 1: Wes Packers for do you one Cowboys? Alright, I'm a 644 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 1: similar boat. I say Packers thirty four, Cowboys twenty four. Yeah, 645 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: I got thirty four Packers. Wow, that feels like Romo 646 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: on the ground. By the way, that was the halftime score. 647 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,600 Speaker 1: Area Man confident in his pick. I like it, which 648 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 1: takes us to the final game of the Divisional Round weekend, 649 00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: and that is the Indianapolis Colts, led by Andrew Luck 650 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 1: heading to Mile High to face the Denver Broncos and 651 00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,920 Speaker 1: Peyton manning the Broncos the number two seed. The Colts 652 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: took care of business on West of vis this past Sunday, 653 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,280 Speaker 1: so now they have a tougher task against the Denver 654 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: team that won't be shorthanded the way Cincinnati was. Greg, 655 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,000 Speaker 1: We'll start with you. I think this is a game 656 00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:55,280 Speaker 1: that that we're as a group more split on spoiler alert. 657 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: I mentioned it earlier. The three of us picked the 658 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,760 Speaker 1: Colts to win this game. Uh, where do you stand 659 00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 1: on this scrag? Do you think this is a game 660 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,360 Speaker 1: that could be easily stolen by a lower seed? No, 661 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,520 Speaker 1: I'm not one of them. I'm confident in the Broncos. 662 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: I think the Colts have the quarterback who's playing better 663 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: right now, but they don't have much else. I think 664 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,040 Speaker 1: this Broncos team is getting slept on as as as 665 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,440 Speaker 1: strong a contender as anyone to win the Super Bowl 666 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: because they have everything you could want in a in 667 00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: a team. They have a great defense, they have a 668 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 1: great running game, and they have a good enough passing game. 669 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 1: I still don't think it's like Peyton Manning is some 670 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: sort of weakness. So you look at the Colts. If 671 00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,360 Speaker 1: you take away t Y Hilton with Chris Harris, for instance, 672 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: it's like, what do they what do they have on offense? 673 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: I'm just saying that they it's a tough matchup. Would 674 00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 1: you not agree it's a tough match up? The guy 675 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,240 Speaker 1: taking away the other team? It was mostly Harris last 676 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: last time in Week one, and now would seem like 677 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,480 Speaker 1: a guy that makes sense because he can move in 678 00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:51,800 Speaker 1: the slot, he can move on the outside. If they 679 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: put Chris Harris on t Y Hilton, t Y Hilton 680 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 1: wins that matchup. He had forty eight yards on eleven 681 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,200 Speaker 1: targets in Week one. I know, I know it wasn't 682 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: weak one, but that Week one game had actually had 683 00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: actually a lot of things that I think the Colts 684 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:05,080 Speaker 1: can feel good about. But t Y Hilton wasn't one 685 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,320 Speaker 1: of the are a thing for for the Cults. And 686 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,319 Speaker 1: what I would be concerned about for Andrew Luck is 687 00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,200 Speaker 1: Cincinnati couldn't get anyone in the backfield. They couldn't rush 688 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:15,800 Speaker 1: the pass for Andrew Luck was just flowing around back there, 689 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: waiting all day to throw the ball. Now you're dealing 690 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:22,040 Speaker 1: with a completely different defensive front, two great pass rushers 691 00:34:22,080 --> 00:34:25,200 Speaker 1: and Andrew Luck struggled down the stretch against teams that 692 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: could get in the backfield. And one thing I went 693 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 1: back and watched for some reason the Week one game 694 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 1: just to see. One of the most surprising things is 695 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 1: where and Miller had a terrible game. They protected Luck 696 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: really well. I don't know if that you know everything. 697 00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,600 Speaker 1: Every everything is different. Guys are chairless not there. But 698 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: there were some good things for the Colts in that game. Unfortunately, 699 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 1: they also had a Reggie Wayne who was a totally 700 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,560 Speaker 1: different player. At that point, they had Trent Richardson heavily involved. 701 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,359 Speaker 1: So now he's only on the punt team. So that's 702 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,080 Speaker 1: a good thing. Well, you know what, But good for 703 00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,879 Speaker 1: them for finally not forcing the issue. If you want 704 00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:01,399 Speaker 1: to get if you want to win a playoff game, 705 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: you can't put your third best running back. I thought 706 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: he was inactive last week, but it turns out I'm 707 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: reading counter story. Had one snap on offense last week 708 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,120 Speaker 1: and now he's running the punt team. I guess this 709 00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: is the end for Trent Richardson, as it should be. 710 00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:13,880 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy didn't get done. What did we 711 00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,879 Speaker 1: say four or five weeks ago. If the Colts want 712 00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,120 Speaker 1: to go far in the playoffs, they have to de 713 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: emphasize Trent Richardson and Reggie Wayne and start playing Donte 714 00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,000 Speaker 1: Moncrief and Boom Harron and the two tight ends and 715 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: make them bigger. Boomhron's gotta be careful, by the way, 716 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,040 Speaker 1: because he got uh he lost another fumble, and that 717 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,800 Speaker 1: was something that came up a lot from their coaching 718 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 1: staff this week. He could find himself on the bench 719 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:39,479 Speaker 1: away not for Trent. They went to Zurlon Tippton because 720 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 1: the game was I'm not saying Trent Richardson comes in. 721 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: They went to Tipton because the game was in hand. 722 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,640 Speaker 1: If that game was close, and it was, I think 723 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,560 Speaker 1: Boom Haren definitely would have been in the game. But 724 00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,439 Speaker 1: they were in a situation where you wanted a clock 725 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,320 Speaker 1: killing back and Tipton's that guy. Anyway, that was a 726 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,719 Speaker 1: huge fumble. But it's it's like they almost don't have 727 00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,200 Speaker 1: a choice but to stick with for scrimmage last week. 728 00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:01,280 Speaker 1: He's got a bad n't even back. It's not great, 729 00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: but he's better than Trent Richardson. Well yeah, And I 730 00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 1: think you're Greg. You're a little confused about how to 731 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 1: feel about Peyton Manning right now. You don't seem like 732 00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 1: you don't seem like he's a big negative, but you 733 00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 1: also aren't confident in the way he's playing. I think 734 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 1: when the stats in the film agree, then you have 735 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 1: to feel pretty confident he's not playing well. And the 736 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:25,359 Speaker 1: stats and film both agree that he's not playing And 737 00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:29,560 Speaker 1: I think I tried to find a few hypotheses last night. Um, 738 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,680 Speaker 1: I thought maybe we were concentrating too much on the 739 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: arm and not enough on him getting hit more or 740 00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:37,160 Speaker 1: sacked more, and that didn't really check out. But one thing, 741 00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,319 Speaker 1: if you look that three weeks stretch from weeks nine 742 00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: to eleven, he threw the most passes of his career 743 00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,800 Speaker 1: in any three weeks stretch, and we saw something similar 744 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 1: with Matt shob in two thousand twelve back to back 745 00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: over time games. He went the most past attempts in 746 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 1: his career and his arm strength dwindled after that. Peyton 747 00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,919 Speaker 1: Manning throws one aren't fifty five past attempts over three weeks, 748 00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,720 Speaker 1: and then a month later throws the three least amount 749 00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:01,839 Speaker 1: of path attempts in his career, and I think those 750 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,280 Speaker 1: are connected. But Shop never came back from the abyss 751 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 1: that he was in there. Do you what are we 752 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:11,239 Speaker 1: saying here about Manny? Well? I think I think if 753 00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:15,360 Speaker 1: you read books that chronicle seasons in NFL history, quarterback 754 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,279 Speaker 1: in season quarterback injuries happened a lot more than they 755 00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:24,280 Speaker 1: let on arm soreness, oblique soreness, muscle tendonitis, weak arms, 756 00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: And I my guess is something like that's going on 757 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,280 Speaker 1: with Peyton Manny. It doesn't have to be a career 758 00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: end or it could just be this year. That was 759 00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 1: one of the things that stuck out to me the 760 00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: most watching the Week one game is he had a 761 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 1: couple of throws down the field. I mean he was 762 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,600 Speaker 1: ultra aggressive and there was one to Sanders and I 763 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,759 Speaker 1: was thinking, there's no way he could throw that past. 764 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,759 Speaker 1: Now he looked like a better quarterback in a in 765 00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,480 Speaker 1: a stronger quarterback back. Then I think the lack of 766 00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,120 Speaker 1: aggress when this shows up, and I think that could 767 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,440 Speaker 1: be that could explain all the interceptions of late cornerbacks 768 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: picked that up on film and sit on shallow routes 769 00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:54,880 Speaker 1: if you're not going to go down the field. But 770 00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,040 Speaker 1: it's still down to the players. And when you look 771 00:37:57,080 --> 00:38:00,840 Speaker 1: at the Broncos players, they're they're really good. And you 772 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,479 Speaker 1: look at the Cults players, especially on defense, and they're 773 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: just not. I mean they have they have Vante Davis. 774 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: But hopefully for the Broncos, Julius Thomas is healthier in 775 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaker 1: this game. He destroyed them last time around. You have 776 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,839 Speaker 1: a Manuel Sanders, you have a very talented running game. 777 00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,879 Speaker 1: I take their running game over Indianapolis anything. And when 778 00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:22,439 Speaker 1: you just stack up all the players, the Broncos are good. Well, 779 00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: you didn't mention the quarterback with an OHM four postseason 780 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,440 Speaker 1: record under forty degree and has lost has lost eight 781 00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 1: times in his first playoff game, which as many as 782 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 1: Marino Farvan Brady combined. He can go through an eight 783 00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: yard passed the Damerius Thomas and watch Damerius Thomas. We've 784 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,040 Speaker 1: threw uh quarterback is a major concern. And it's enough 785 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,719 Speaker 1: if Luck out plays Manning severely. I'm not saying that's 786 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,680 Speaker 1: gonna happen. It's enough to offset the talent edge for 787 00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:50,239 Speaker 1: the Broncos. All right, so let's make our picks with 788 00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,399 Speaker 1: this game. This this is a tricky one, so we'll 789 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:57,400 Speaker 1: start with Mark Cecili the Sizzler Quiet Store. I initially 790 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,320 Speaker 1: picked Denver, and I moved over to the Cults because 791 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,080 Speaker 1: of Andrew Luck number one. I just think that that's 792 00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:04,560 Speaker 1: He's got the feel to me of a guy you 793 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: just could potentially ride right into the super Bowl. I 794 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:16,120 Speaker 1: like them winning this game nine too. That res that 795 00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: makes no sense. Revised that because there's a caveat here. 796 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,480 Speaker 1: It will be twenty nine to seventeen. But this will 797 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,600 Speaker 1: be Peyton Manning's last game, and I will win those 798 00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 1: sandwiches that I've been questing after all season. This is 799 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:34,120 Speaker 1: this you. If you weren't planning to watch football this weekend, 800 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,880 Speaker 1: well not everyone that listens to the show listens for 801 00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:41,240 Speaker 1: the football content. Sit down and turn on the television. Manning. 802 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:47,240 Speaker 1: This is going to be it's career ending the sex appeal. 803 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,520 Speaker 1: What do people listen to us for. I've actually spoken 804 00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 1: to a couple of people that even today did we 805 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: not speak to someone that said, I really appreciated when 806 00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 1: you went away from football and talked about culture and 807 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,239 Speaker 1: films and it's that interesting. Hear that all the time. Yeah, 808 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 1: I guess I meant as the sole reason. And you 809 00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,200 Speaker 1: can't count your wife and her friends as people. It 810 00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: was not my wife as people. It's the people. I'll 811 00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,480 Speaker 1: decide who I count as a person. All right, Chris 812 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:15,560 Speaker 1: Westling your pick in this game? Well, I mentioned on 813 00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 1: our marriage Trade confident call video, I'm picking the Colts, 814 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: but I don't feel confident about it at all. I'm 815 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,960 Speaker 1: picking the Colts for two reasons. One because I like 816 00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: the way Luck is playing in it, don't like the 817 00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 1: way Manning is playing, and I forget the other reason 818 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: one reason. The other reason is because I went chalk 819 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 1: on all the other I don't want to go chalk 820 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,600 Speaker 1: on all four games, so I have to find one home. 821 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:47,279 Speaker 1: They called Greg old chalk Rosenthal. Now someone that's four 822 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,120 Speaker 1: and oh in the postseason so far, you just gotts 823 00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:52,440 Speaker 1: you do, and I usually take I feel like, especially 824 00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:53,960 Speaker 1: in the postseason, more than it I don't. I wasn't 825 00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 1: feeling it. You gotta go with your heart this week, 826 00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,120 Speaker 1: the Ravens is the one that scares me the worst. 827 00:40:58,120 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 1: In no way I'm taking did you get this word, 828 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:02,279 Speaker 1: let miss it now. I'll give us score, but let 829 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,399 Speaker 1: me mention one thing. Yes, this could easily turn back 830 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,960 Speaker 1: and make me look like an absolute ass. Peyton Manning 831 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:11,479 Speaker 1: throws for four yards and goes twenty one with five 832 00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 1: touchdowns and outplays Luck and the Broncos team talent is 833 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 1: so evident we'll still hold it against you despite this 834 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:29,120 Speaker 1: little disclaimer. Seven Broncos. Wow, So I'll see. I feel 835 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,160 Speaker 1: the same way I said this on our video segment 836 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 1: that this is will be the torch game. This is 837 00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 1: what we will all remember. He's gonna make the three 838 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,919 Speaker 1: of us like it is so obvious that this is happening. Uh, 839 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,520 Speaker 1: this is the torch game. Andrew Luck is going to 840 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 1: throw the ball all over the field. T Y Hilton 841 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 1: is gonna have a huge game. Kobe Fleet is gonna 842 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:49,759 Speaker 1: make plays downfield. Even Reggie Wayne West. You're not gonna 843 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,760 Speaker 1: believe it, but Reggie Wayne is gonna make some big plays. 844 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 1: Uh doctr Makree will not make any big plays. Yeah this, 845 00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: Dwayne All's gonna make a couple of plays. But when 846 00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:06,360 Speaker 1: it's everyone will say it. When it's all said and done, 847 00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,120 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning will not play well in the cold, and 848 00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:11,520 Speaker 1: it will start the narrative that is this the end, 849 00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: That's what we have to write about all offseason. If 850 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:17,760 Speaker 1: that happens, I would advise just totally avoiding Dave Damasik 851 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,759 Speaker 1: that week. And Andrew luck will win the game. This 852 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: is going to be the upset of the weekend. Colts. 853 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,480 Speaker 1: Who needs who needs Peyton Manning? When you've got C J. 854 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: Anderson and Malik Jackson who has been playing great, forget it. 855 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:38,160 Speaker 1: The Braccos Broncos team is way better thirty one. That'll 856 00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:40,800 Speaker 1: be my final score alright, and and this is a 857 00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: no no lose game for me, because really I would 858 00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:44,840 Speaker 1: love the Colts. It would be nice to see the 859 00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,160 Speaker 1: Colts win and just take the Broncos out because I 860 00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,279 Speaker 1: think they're more of a title threat. By the way, 861 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:51,279 Speaker 1: I don't think I already saw through that. Greg what 862 00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,799 Speaker 1: you know? You know you want you want this uh 863 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,040 Speaker 1: Peyton Brady thing done. You don't want to you don't 864 00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 1: want to deal with it anymore. So you want to 865 00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 1: add to the picture. But the same time, your head 866 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,360 Speaker 1: and your bests a little bit. I'm not because I 867 00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 1: fully believe the Broncos will win. I think they'll kill him. 868 00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 1: But I hope I legitimately, I legitimately hope I'm just 869 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 1: wrong in this case because it would be good for 870 00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:14,600 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, the team I rot. I don't 871 00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,040 Speaker 1: think we're getting Broncos Patriots. I just I don't know 872 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:19,359 Speaker 1: how it's gonna play out. We're not getting it. So 873 00:43:19,400 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: that's it, guys, That is the preview. I thought you 874 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: all excellent work. I feel like I still have more 875 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:26,879 Speaker 1: to say. We should just do one of these every 876 00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,480 Speaker 1: day next week all. I like that idea for the 877 00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:31,439 Speaker 1: for the second straight week, we're all going to get 878 00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,279 Speaker 1: every every one of our picks right. And a lot 879 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:36,160 Speaker 1: of people say, well, that's that's impossible. You cool, but no, 880 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna do it. Yeah you doubt us, that's what 881 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:42,879 Speaker 1: you get. So yeah, we will be back on Sunday night. 882 00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 1: Um Mark, what's so important that you're texting?
