Speaker 1: Welcome to The Dan Patrick's Show, where the poll questions
Speaker 1: have taken a turn since the departure of bick Lovitt.
Speaker 1: Which would be worse peeing your pants on the sidelines
Speaker 1: and then having to play the rest of the game
Speaker 1: ninety plus degrees or thirty or lower degree? You know,
Speaker 1: I can't ask you to up question. Occasionally, one is swampy,
Speaker 1: the other's freezing. Yeah. I'd rather be swampy than frozen. Yeah.
Speaker 1: See the problem with the cold weather is you're gonna
Speaker 1: be cold, then you're gonna get about twenty seconds of
Speaker 1: warmth that you're like, oh, that feels good, and then
Speaker 1: it's frozen. That is terrible. Did you ever urinate in
Speaker 1: your uniform? Oh? Yeah? Much. Every game from the p
Speaker 1: and the pants to the ball in the end zone.
Speaker 1: We're covering every aspect of the NFL Playoffs as a
Speaker 1: tribute to the listeners of this program. Broadcasting from the
Speaker 1: Mercedes Mancake, this is Dan Patrick. Hope you had a
Speaker 1: great weekend. Everybody A little drained, but I'm a warrior.
Speaker 1: I got a rampant back up tonight, Cardinals at the Rams,
Speaker 1: Monday Night Football Playoffs style, best and worst for the weekend,
Speaker 1: as we always do, give us a call eight seven seven,
Speaker 1: three d P Show operator Marvin standing By. Also tweets
Speaker 1: emails are welcomed as well. Email address DP a dan
Speaker 1: Patrick dot com Twitter handle at dp's show eight seven
Speaker 1: seven three d P Show, say good morning to Peacock,
Speaker 1: our streaming partner, and also iHeartRadio, Fox Sports Radio and
Speaker 1: nearly four hundred cities around America carrying this program. We'll
Speaker 1: have play of the day, stat of the day and
Speaker 1: a pole que question. Have that for you once again,
Speaker 1: if you're watching, Fritzie is zooming in. He's still quarantine
Speaker 1: and we hope to have him by the end of
Speaker 1: the week. Bengals over the Raiders, Bills blow out the Patriots,
Speaker 1: Bucks over the Eagles, Niners survived, Dallas Chiefs blow out
Speaker 1: the Steelers, and you have Cardinals at the Rams coming
Speaker 1: up Monday Night Football. If it wasn't evident enough throughout
Speaker 1: the season, this weekend's wild card games proved just how
Speaker 1: hard it is to beat an elite quarterback. The Bengals
Speaker 1: took down the Raiders thanks to some amazing throws by
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. Bills embarrassed the Patriots behind Josh Allen. I
Speaker 1: did not know this at the time, but the Buffalo
Speaker 1: Bills are the first team in NFL history, regular or
Speaker 1: postseason not to record a field goal attempt, a punt
Speaker 1: attempt and not turn the ball over for the entire game.
Speaker 1: Stead of the day stat of the day, that past
Speaker 1: out of the day stat of the day, it comes
Speaker 1: that what stat of the day they threw a perfect
Speaker 1: game is what the Buffalo Bills did. We'll have more
Speaker 1: on the Patriots coming up a little bit. So you
Speaker 1: have Josh Allen, Tom Brady and the Buccaneers cruise to
Speaker 1: the win over the Eagles. Mahomes was great after the
Speaker 1: first quarter as the Chiefs handled the Steelers, and football,
Speaker 1: we know as a team game. But you gotta have
Speaker 1: that quarterback. You've got to have somebody who's impactful. And
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, everything moves faster. These decisions have to
Speaker 1: be made quicker. Every decision is, you know, exacerbated. It
Speaker 1: doesn't affect elite signal callers, at least for the most part.
Speaker 1: It normally doesn't Mac Jones, Jalen Hurds. It looked like
Speaker 1: they were in their first playoff games. But the quarterbacks
Speaker 1: may be able to win regular season games, but none
Speaker 1: of those offenses are designed to keep up with elite quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: And we saw a lot of parody throughout the NFL season,
Speaker 1: but wild Card weekend a not so subtle reminder not
Speaker 1: all playoff orderbacks are created equal. And you saw the
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, and I was wondering about this not
Speaker 1: having a first round by now. They faced the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 1: But you know, Kansas City got off to a slow start.
Speaker 1: That's what happens usual when you have that buy and
Speaker 1: then you go into your next game. You're kind of
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what you're supposed to do and
Speaker 1: remember what you're supposed to do and get back into
Speaker 1: that playoff mode. And the Chiefs famously start out slow,
Speaker 1: and they did in this game. Now, of course, they
Speaker 1: blew out the Steelers, and you expected them to win
Speaker 1: that game, but this is one of those you play
Speaker 1: that game as opposed to coming into Buffalo. That game
Speaker 1: with Buffalo, and you start out slow, it could cost
Speaker 1: you the game. You know, green Bay and Tennessee are
Speaker 1: glad to have the weekend off. I'm sure to get
Speaker 1: guys healthy, but then you got to get ready. Forty
Speaker 1: nine ers have been playing playoff football for six weeks now,
Speaker 1: and they're going to be ready to go right away
Speaker 1: with the Green Bay Packers, Tennessee getting Derek Henry back,
Speaker 1: and now you're facing a Cincinnati team. They're young, they
Speaker 1: don't know any better. They're gonna be ready to go,
Speaker 1: fired up, and you know that's where you want to
Speaker 1: make sure that you're mentally playing playoff football when you
Speaker 1: get into your first game in the postseason. What's pull
Speaker 1: question we're going with today, Paul Hi, all right, this
Speaker 1: is a kind of a two parter or a two
Speaker 1: way to ask it. A lot of people were watching
Speaker 1: the Patriots the other night and they were getting smoked,
Speaker 1: and they don't get smoked on national TV a lot,
Speaker 1: especially in the playoffs. So which loss as a fan
Speaker 1: did you enjoy watching more? The Patriots loss or the
Speaker 1: Cowboys loss. No offense, but there's a lot of people
Speaker 1: who enjoy when either the Patriots or Cowboys lose, and
Speaker 1: both of those were painful fashions. Well, the Patriots never
Speaker 1: had a chance that one was just like, okay, this
Speaker 1: one is it now? You were just kind of waiting
Speaker 1: to see if Buffalo would put a fifty burger on it.
Speaker 1: I guess so the Patriots didn't they score fifty a
Speaker 1: week ago? Yes, to have it turned around on national TV.
Speaker 1: I think they scored fifty twice this year. But it's
Speaker 1: weird to say a team that scores fifty twice didn't
Speaker 1: have enough offense to keep up with Buffalo. I just thought,
Speaker 1: you know, Buffalo's game plan was try to stop us.
Speaker 1: And I want Josh Allen to run. And you know,
Speaker 1: you normally you don't say I want my elite quarterback
Speaker 1: to run, but he has to run, and when he does,
Speaker 1: he runs differently than other quarterbacks do. He can make
Speaker 1: him miss, but he's a big guy. He's not a
Speaker 1: slide guy, and you know it just it helps him.
Speaker 1: It makes him more dangerous when he's able to run.
Speaker 1: And also the ability to throw. Yeah, well, sometimes when
Speaker 1: you're watching him, you forget that he can run because
Speaker 1: they're throwing the ball. He's handed off and all of
Speaker 1: a sudden he takes off and you're like, oh crap,
Speaker 1: I forgot about that. Well, I don't know if everybody
Speaker 1: said that. Some people, yeah, just Patriots fans probably went,
Speaker 1: oh crap. Patriots fans probably said, oh crap. I don't
Speaker 1: know if there's that much vitriol with the Patriots now
Speaker 1: lost the country. It feels like the Cowboys, you either
Speaker 1: love them or man, did you love the way they
Speaker 1: lost yesterday? I'm gonna say the Cowboys that loss, more
Speaker 1: people enjoyed that, and the way they lost as well.
Speaker 1: They would probably say, yeah, Cowboys, I mean the Patriots,
Speaker 1: they're not as threatening. You know, you don't have Tom there,
Speaker 1: And even Patriot fans were spinning this, going, yeah, but
Speaker 1: they couldn't beat us with Tom Okay, good luck with that, Okay,
Speaker 1: I would say people, more people enjoyed the Cowboys loss.
Speaker 1: What else do you have? Paul Okay, same question, which
Speaker 1: is the worst worst way to lose? The way the
Speaker 1: Patriots lost or the Cowboys lost? Same answer. If you're
Speaker 1: if you're oh, oh yeah, yeah. If if we're done
Speaker 1: and we're just getting pasted, it's like, all right, come on,
Speaker 1: keep keep doing it. You score another touchdown, we don't care.
Speaker 1: Would you rather be humiliated or incompetent? It's kind of
Speaker 1: the way that that bull questions, I could take this one.
Speaker 1: I've been when when you think, when you when you
Speaker 1: think for years, we could have had that one, you know,
Speaker 1: the Mac Jones and sitting there going, you know, if
Speaker 1: we just had that one play in the third quarter,
Speaker 1: what would have got it? Nobody is second guessing the
Speaker 1: Patriots going, you know, if you guys, if mac Jones
Speaker 1: gets that touchdown pass at seven to seven, who knows
Speaker 1: who's nobody's saying that today. Dallas fans. Football fans are
Speaker 1: all diagramming, dissecting, got an opinion on that last play.
Speaker 1: And if you're looking at levels of blame, first of all,
Speaker 1: let me start with fourteen penalties. You're the most penalized
Speaker 1: team in the NFL, and fourteen they you know, there's
Speaker 1: so many penalties that they weren't judgment calls. It was
Speaker 1: your off sides, um you're holding that offensive line like
Speaker 1: it just felt like Dallas did their best to keep
Speaker 1: the Niners alive, and in the final quarter, the Niners
Speaker 1: did their best to keep the Cowboys alive. Yeah, Seed, well,
Speaker 1: I don't remember exactly where it was in the game,
Speaker 1: but the Cowboys had that moment where they were going
Speaker 1: to go for it on fourth or they were faking
Speaker 1: it and then they were swapping out there the kicking
Speaker 1: team was going to come out of and they were
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, get the forty nine ers to
Speaker 1: jump offside, and then they ended up getting the delayed
Speaker 1: game penalty. They couldn't get that figured out. Yeah, there
Speaker 1: were penalties that were just out of stupidity that you know,
Speaker 1: you can't make these mistakes, and it caught up with them.
Speaker 1: But if you start with Mike McCarthy, Dak Prescott. By
Speaker 1: the way, Dak is getting bailed out for having a
Speaker 1: terrible game because of that last call, because people are
Speaker 1: forgetting Dak. You score seven points in the first three
Speaker 1: quarters at home. Kellen Moore, the offensive coordinator, I don't
Speaker 1: have a problem with the call. I don't because but
Speaker 1: if they you can't tell me that you practice that.
Speaker 1: If so, you got fourteen seconds, you're at the forty
Speaker 1: yard line, all right. He wants to get it into
Speaker 1: an area where I can throw a pass, not a
Speaker 1: jump ball. Now they're covering the sidelines and he goes
Speaker 1: up the middle. Okay, but you can't tell me you
Speaker 1: practice the play if you don't know what protocol is,
Speaker 1: and that is Dak has to find the line judge
Speaker 1: and say here you go, that's it, and the line
Speaker 1: judge is trying to get to the ball. You give
Speaker 1: it to your center and then the official has to come. Like,
Speaker 1: you can't tell me you practice that because the center
Speaker 1: is lining up. You should know. Tony Romo was great
Speaker 1: in the moment and Tony Romo hasn't been playing football
Speaker 1: for five years and he said, no, no, you got
Speaker 1: to give it to the official. Give it to the
Speaker 1: official like he knew it. And you know, that's what
Speaker 1: perplexed me when Mike McCarthy's trying to tell you we
Speaker 1: practice that. Well, if you practice that, you have to go. Hey,
Speaker 1: by the way, you know, if it comes down the final,
Speaker 1: you know two seconds, three seconds, give the ball to
Speaker 1: the official. He has to spot it. But that official
Speaker 1: is behind you. You know that he's trailing. On the play,
Speaker 1: you just ran fifteen yards. Here's Mike McCarthy on the
Speaker 1: quarterback draw. We call thresholds and you know the Philip position,
Speaker 1: what your line you're at, and which we're trying to
Speaker 1: get to too, based on your defense that they're they're playing.
Speaker 1: They were in a sideline defense. That they were protecting
Speaker 1: the sidelines, and so that was the best option to
Speaker 1: be able to get the ball. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: like anything else you do. You want to be running
Speaker 1: a hail Mary play from the fifth yard line, or
Speaker 1: you want to be running five verticals from the twenty
Speaker 1: five yard one. So that's the decision. It's the right decision,
Speaker 1: you know. It's just like anything. It's the execution between
Speaker 1: us and the fish eighties Sputting the ball obviously wasn't intent.
Speaker 1: It wasn't you know, we shouldn't have had any problem
Speaker 1: in the ball spotted there. That's the call you're looking for.
Speaker 1: Here's Jack Prescott on handing the ball to the referees. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean no, we've probably say you handed it, you
Speaker 1: handed to the to the center the dumpire. All he
Speaker 1: has to do is usually come in and tap the ball. Um.
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I mean don't don't know, don't necessarily
Speaker 1: know exactly why the why the hit happened. I guess um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I know he's going to come in and
Speaker 1: touch the ball. We can say, yeah, he needs to
Speaker 1: be closer to the ball or whatever. But um, in hindsight,
Speaker 1: I just tough it's just yeah, tough, tough to tough
Speaker 1: to accept. Well, he's trailing on the play, You're you're
Speaker 1: running the ball down. Now the official who's twice Dak's age,
Speaker 1: is running down to get somehow in between a couple
Speaker 1: of linemen so he can spot the ball. The center
Speaker 1: doesn't even spot the ball correctly. The official has to
Speaker 1: move it back that he's try to cheat like a yard.
Speaker 1: Oh what a mess, What a mess. And yes, Jerry
Speaker 1: Jones had something to say after the game. Well, I
Speaker 1: think there's a time that you get this combination of
Speaker 1: players together. You need to have success because we all
Speaker 1: know how it goes in the NFL. The whole thing
Speaker 1: is set up, takeaway from the best and add to
Speaker 1: the ones that need improvement, and personnel wise, I think
Speaker 1: we have moved the best. All right. We are not
Speaker 1: surprised that Dallas lost this game the way they did.
Speaker 1: We're surprised, but I brought this up on Friday, brought
Speaker 1: it up on Thursday. Is their scenario if Dallas loses
Speaker 1: that Dallas would then elevate Kellen Moore to becoming the
Speaker 1: next head coach of the Cowboys. But you know they're
Speaker 1: probably gonna lose Kellen Moore, They're probably gonna lose dan Quinn.
Speaker 1: They're two assistant coaches. This set up perfectly for Dallas.
Speaker 1: You have two really good coordinators. Dan Quinn, as I
Speaker 1: told you last week, and it was verified this weekend
Speaker 1: as the leading candidate for the Broncos job. Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: is being interviewed for a couple of jobs there. And
Speaker 1: you have a good offense, you have impact players on defense,
Speaker 1: you had home field advantage. This set up as well
Speaker 1: as any scenario for the Cowboys in recent memory. And
Speaker 1: then you beat yourself. You do stupid things. You let
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers manhandle you for the first three quarters,
Speaker 1: you let Jimmy Garoppolo beat you. And of course Jimmy
Speaker 1: Paulie was great yesterday. He goes, man, I just get
Speaker 1: feeling Jimmy's gonna give one up. It's like four minutes later,
Speaker 1: it's like, oh oh, and then you go the Niners
Speaker 1: are doing their best to give Dallas a chance to
Speaker 1: win this game. Yes, it felt like that's the bail
Speaker 1: out of the weekend. It's Garoppolo because he had a
Speaker 1: nice first three quarters, but that passed. He could have
Speaker 1: thrown anywhere else in the stadium thrown it down. He
Speaker 1: could have taken a knee, he got a slid and
Speaker 1: the run the clock. But the Dallas thing, when you
Speaker 1: see the ref in the moment running up, did it
Speaker 1: feel like a lack of urgency by everybody? Dallas too,
Speaker 1: Like their lineman half harder lined up, they're blocking people white.
Speaker 1: I think the tight end Schultz is not even quite
Speaker 1: sure of getting up to the line of scrimmage. Like
Speaker 1: it just felt like, well, we got some time here,
Speaker 1: we got some time here. Yeah. Well the Niners are
Speaker 1: up twenty three seventeen and they're trying to run down
Speaker 1: the field and you know, get a couple first downs
Speaker 1: to run out the clock, and they got third down
Speaker 1: pass a penalty on Dallas illegal hands to the face.
Speaker 1: A couple of plays later, Randy Gregory decides to tackle
Speaker 1: an offensive linement. They gave him a couple first down
Speaker 1: Dallas to be a penalty. We know, just stupid stuff.

Speaker 1: Possible pole question sent to Fritzie. If Coach Belichick has
Speaker 1: his way, would he want his starting quarterback to be
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, Jimmy Garoppolo or Tom Brady. Well that's not
Speaker 1: really a good question. It seems unlikely. Yeah, because he
Speaker 1: had Tom Brady, didn't want Tom Brady. He had Jimmy Garoppolo.
Speaker 1: Now he's got Mac Jones. Do I think they have
Speaker 1: their quarterback? No, I think they have a quarterback. I
Speaker 1: don't know yet, but this is a rookie deal. That's
Speaker 1: why when you think about with Mac Jones, all right,
Speaker 1: you got a couple of years here to figure it
Speaker 1: out and see if he's a franchise quarterback. I'm not
Speaker 1: sure he is. I think he's a good quarterback at times.
Speaker 1: But you know, we this is different. If this is
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago, twenty years ago, we look at this differently.
Speaker 1: You know, a rookie quarterback, you don't expect anything out
Speaker 1: of a rookie quarterback. Now we expect you to come
Speaker 1: in and we expect you to be, you know, really good.
Speaker 1: And it's it's not that easy. Mac Jones plays like
Speaker 1: a rookie. Jalen Hurts plays like a rookie that they
Speaker 1: have some talent. I just don't know. And I like
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, but the Eagles committed to him and they
Speaker 1: run the football. Now, they went against Tampa at Tampa,
Speaker 1: and you know that Buccaneers defense is getting healthier, Brady
Speaker 1: still has Evans and Gronk, and I expected them to
Speaker 1: win this game. But do I have a definitive grade
Speaker 1: or opinion on these quarterbacks moving forward? No, I don't
Speaker 1: know if either one can be franchise quarterbacks, elite quarterbacks
Speaker 1: but in the moment, if I have you on a
Speaker 1: rookie deal, the Eagles have three first round picks, all right,
Speaker 1: maybe you surround him, maybe you make you know you're
Speaker 1: gonna be a different type of team, and that is
Speaker 1: you've got to stop the run. That's who we are.
Speaker 1: And I do like that. Oh guess who just called in.
Speaker 1: I would like to hear from him under better circumstances,
Speaker 1: let's put it that way. But as far as content,
Speaker 1: it's probably better to hear him this way. The return
Speaker 1: of shay in irving my buddy. I can't handle it
Speaker 1: any more, Danny, I can't. I just can't understand it.
Speaker 1: You know, the amount of talent wasted by Kellen Moore
Speaker 1: and McCarthy. Those two bums not ready for prime time, Danny.
Speaker 1: They both need to take a seat. And I don't
Speaker 1: even mind that last play. I don't mind it. I
Speaker 1: don't care. Dak wasn't hitting anybody thirty five forty yards out.
Speaker 1: I don't care how many shots you're gonna give them.
Speaker 1: I life going weird and maybe getting the first time,
Speaker 1: but you gotta get down faster, and you gotta realize
Speaker 1: you got sixty five year old aarp members, fourth time referee,
Speaker 1: and they're never gonna get to you in time. There's
Speaker 1: no reason to not see that coming. McCarthy has got
Speaker 1: to go back to the basement, Danny. I do know,
Speaker 1: fat Man, good to have you back. The penalties, Danny,
Speaker 1: I like you rent even t straight. You were the
Speaker 1: most penalized team in the NFL fell and then you
Speaker 1: know the cowboy fans want to blame the officials. A
Speaker 1: lot of these penalties were just hey, you're off sides
Speaker 1: or Devin pre snap penalty seven Danny seven pre snap penalties.
Speaker 1: And everywhere that fat Man goes, none of his teams
Speaker 1: are disciplined, not a one. Go to Green Bay and
Speaker 1: by the way, by the way, he got one ring
Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers and we think he's the messiah. And
Speaker 1: Dak is making way too much money. You'd be playing
Speaker 1: the way he played. I'm beside myself, Danny. But at
Speaker 1: least you all lost pearl. That's gotta be good news.
Speaker 1: On the seat is open. Oh yeah, yeah, well easy
Speaker 1: shoes to fill it. Uh do you see Do you
Speaker 1: think Mike McCarthy's job is in jeopardy with Jerry Oh yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: Jerry Man, Jerry Big man, fat man's in trouble. How
Speaker 1: about we go port Let's go portly, Let's go portly. Well, no, Danny,
Speaker 1: he's morbidly obese. We should be talked about, pointed out.
Speaker 1: That's a problem. He's an awful coach. He just thought.
Speaker 1: You tell me, I mean, how in the world, how
Speaker 1: will the world you end a game? That's the end
Speaker 1: of your season? That's what you do. Why wouldn't have
Speaker 1: hired him? I wouldn't have hired him in the first place.
Speaker 1: Me neither. Keep him in the basement. Do whatever you
Speaker 1: got to do with the film and your unemployment check.
Speaker 1: I don't care. He is not a good coach. Are
Speaker 1: you okay with Kellen Moore becoming the head coach? Absolutely not,
Speaker 1: whiz kid my, you know what, he needs a whole
Speaker 1: sack of humility. He should eat that for the next year.
Speaker 1: He ain't ready for prime time, Danny. That game plan
Speaker 1: was bad. You know how dumb I am. I just
Speaker 1: want to run the damn ball. But even I understood
Speaker 1: what San Francisco can do on the defensive end, and
Speaker 1: when you have to protect the quarterback and Dak has
Speaker 1: to make pros, that's a fact. None of that happened. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that we were glossing over how bad Dak
Speaker 1: was because of that. I know that last play people
Speaker 1: are forgetting that Dak scores seven that offense scores seven
Speaker 1: points in the first three quarters at home. Yep, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're gonna be every freaking year, Danny. Are you gonna
Speaker 1: be watching football? Are you done? I got money on it, Danny,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to watch a choice. How you been?
Speaker 1: By the way, aside from this house, how's the family?
Speaker 1: I mean, I got three daughters and a wife that
Speaker 1: don't work, Danny, how do you think? Well, God blast
Speaker 1: you and the three daughters there? Yea, yeah, sure, I'd
Speaker 1: still like to have a drink with you. I you know,
Speaker 1: I put that invitation out. No, I can't right now,
Speaker 1: right now, I can't. I can't do it right now.
Speaker 1: But weird? Are you off today to watch it work?
Speaker 1: That's funny, that's real him in morning, Danny, I can't
Speaker 1: even see straight. I am gonna go get hammered though,
Speaker 1: if you want to, Well, if you're in my neighborhood,
Speaker 1: I'd love to have a beer with you, all right.
Speaker 1: You might be in the brown stuff though, right? Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: our liquors coming early. Well, it's great to hear from you. Whatever, Danny,
Speaker 1: thank you, Shane, that's Shay and Irvy. I text him
Speaker 1: right after the game and I said, unbelievable and he said,
Speaker 1: I can't I can't see straight. And I thought, is
Speaker 1: this cruel to have him on? And then I thought, well,
Speaker 1: it might be, but it's good content. And then I thought, Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to give him an opportunity to tell the
Speaker 1: world how he feels. And it's been two years. I
Speaker 1: think now I stay in touch with him, but uh,
Speaker 1: he's gone. That's gonna be a long day, long day. Yeah. Point,
Speaker 1: it seems like he's doing okay. It's anchor issues. Seemed
Speaker 1: to be a little a little better, but he used
Speaker 1: to be. That's that toughie last night though. That's it. Well,
Speaker 1: because in previous years, your hopes aren't this high, like
Speaker 1: you go, oh, okay, it's the Cowboys, a we got
Speaker 1: a chance, you have home field. You know, the Niners
Speaker 1: were one of those teams that was sneaky good and
Speaker 1: people were nervous about facing the Niners because the Niners travel,
Speaker 1: you know, they can run good defense. They didn't even
Speaker 1: have their best defensive players. Bossa was out, Warner was out.
Speaker 1: Like it just it boggles me that you couldn't take
Speaker 1: advantage of any of that and you score seven points
Speaker 1: through three quarters. By the way, Deebo Samuel can play
Speaker 1: on my team. He's great. He's so much fun. Place
Speaker 1: two positions. Although you want to be listed as a
Speaker 1: wide receiver, you make a whole lot more money as
Speaker 1: being a wide receiver than you do a running back.
Speaker 1: Ross Tucker just tweeted out, did Kellen Moore call that
Speaker 1: quarterback drawn? An? Ever to get Mike McCarthy fired so
Speaker 1: he can become the next head coach. Oh, I don't
Speaker 1: think it's that nefarious, And I think Mike McCarthy can
Speaker 1: get fired on his own. Mike McCarthy has to co
Speaker 1: sign on that. Here's it. He's on the headset and
Speaker 1: and he said, hey, we practice that all the time.
Speaker 1: If you practice it all the time, then you have
Speaker 1: to know at the very end of the play. It
Speaker 1: didn't seem like everybody was in that much of a
Speaker 1: hurry getting to the line of scrimmage there. But yes, Ton,
Speaker 1: you got to turn on your mic. You still have
Speaker 1: to turn on your MinC You can't hear me right now?
Speaker 1: Oh I can, Yeah, you gotta turn maybe, Okay, fans
Speaker 1: throwing stuff at them at the referee, I don't understand.
Speaker 1: You know, the officials running fasten the Cowboys are, and
Speaker 1: he did everything he could to place the ball and
Speaker 1: jump out of the way. So why is why is
Speaker 1: the refert fault there? The Cowboy fans want to blame
Speaker 1: somebody else. The Cowboys want to blame somebody else. The
Speaker 1: Cowboys need to look at themselves and give a hard
Speaker 1: look at your undisciplined the entire season, and it costs
Speaker 1: you in the postseason. You scored seven points in three
Speaker 1: quarters at home. Jimmy Garoppolo gave you a gift and
Speaker 1: you still couldn't take advantage of it. I don't have
Speaker 1: a problem with the play call only if everybody knows
Speaker 1: what's going on, what's at stake, what's the clock? You
Speaker 1: get the ball spotted as long as you understand that.
Speaker 1: But for a team that's undisciplined and sloppy, there's no
Speaker 1: room for error, and they got caught up in that
Speaker 1: vacuum there and it cost them. Yeah, I've never seen
Speaker 1: it happen. If I always want to see the imagine
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, right before he goes down, just turns to
Speaker 1: the sidelines and just shoots the ball out of bounds.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just like one yard behind him as
Speaker 1: a lateral and just throws it out of bounds. It
Speaker 1: stops the clock automatically. I've never seen it happen in
Speaker 1: a professional football game, but that's, you know, rather than
Speaker 1: go down and keep the clock running. And also if
Speaker 1: this were college college rules, the ball would have stopped
Speaker 1: until they spotted. Yeah, you know, he had five sacks
Speaker 1: against a four man rush Like that can't happen. And
Speaker 1: you don't even have Joey Bosa in there or Nick Bosa,
Speaker 1: one of the bosas Dak didn't play well. Zeke said
Speaker 1: he was playing through a significant injury as well. But man,
Speaker 1: you want to blame, then you're not going to fix
Speaker 1: the problem. Look at yourself. How boys love to blame
Speaker 1: blame the officials. If seven of the fourteen penalties didn't
Speaker 1: have anything to do with the officials interpretation of a
Speaker 1: play pre snapped penalties, that starts with the coach. Here's
Speaker 1: Tony Romo on the last play of the Cowboys season,
Speaker 1: Jim Jimmy, He's gotta spot at Jim. Jimmy, he's gotta
Speaker 1: get a ball down him. We didn't have the audience
Speaker 1: just swim. We just went with that. Jim, Jim, Jim,
Speaker 1: He's just gotta get the ball down there, Jim. That's
Speaker 1: what it sounded like, Tony. Best and worst of the
Speaker 1: weekend Brad in Ohio leads this off. Hi, Brad, what's
Speaker 1: on your mind today? Best of the weekend was getting
Speaker 1: the calendar and seeing my recreation of Seaton's Heegirl for
Speaker 1: this week on it. And worst of the weekend is
Speaker 1: not excited that the Packers have to play the forty
Speaker 1: nine ers this weekend. They look pretty pretty stout. Well,
Speaker 1: you know, Green Bay has got to be ready for
Speaker 1: that kind of football, and that's physical football. But I
Speaker 1: want to see if those defensive players, if Boss is
Speaker 1: going to be able to play in that game. You know,
Speaker 1: that will be very very important, putting some pressure on
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. But yeah, it's you're still facing Jimmy Garoppolo,
Speaker 1: and you know, if you make them one dimensional, if
Speaker 1: you can stop the run, and then you say to
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, Okay, you gotta beat us. Now he does
Speaker 1: have kid only does have debo, but you don't have
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Big difference there. Matt in Ohio, Hi Matt,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hi damn calls you Actually
Speaker 1: right before the jag Buyers game, and I was talking
Speaker 1: about the Bengals eating Simmer second and finally feeling like
Speaker 1: we're earning this. So the best of the weekend the
Speaker 1: Bengals getting the first playoff win in thirty one years.
Speaker 1: Very happy about that. And worst of the weekend. I
Speaker 1: can't believe that Dallas Cowboys off that game last night.
Speaker 1: I was pretty awful showing by them. Yes, it was
Speaker 1: no thank you, Matt. You know watching when I watched
Speaker 1: Burrow and you're watching Jamar Chase, there's a feeling that
Speaker 1: it's almost like Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams, Like there's
Speaker 1: that feel, but you're starting when you're twenty three years
Speaker 1: of age. Aaron didn't get Davante Adams until a few
Speaker 1: years ago. And Aaron is, you know, quite a bit
Speaker 1: older than Davanta Adams. These are two that you know,
Speaker 1: we're at LSU and then Joe Burrow says, you know,
Speaker 1: we need to take Jamar Chase. They were thinking about
Speaker 1: taking Penney Sewell out of Oregon, the offensive lineman, and
Speaker 1: you watch them, it just doesn't feel like, you know, hey,
Speaker 1: these are guys in the you know, beginning parts, beginning
Speaker 1: stages of their career. There's a Montana Jerry Rice type
Speaker 1: feel that they're going to be together for quite some
Speaker 1: time and whenever Joe needed a bailout. And I know
Speaker 1: there was a controversial call, you know, the whistle or
Speaker 1: no call. You know, the NFL they made a mistake,
Speaker 1: Like you can't make a mistake if you send it
Speaker 1: back to New York at you know, ground control in
Speaker 1: invert and whistle it should have been replayed. Now, you know,
Speaker 1: did the whistle I have anything to do with the
Speaker 1: Raiders not you know, playing or the defensive back gave
Speaker 1: up no in the spirit of the rule. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm glad the touchdown stood, but there was a whistle there.
Speaker 1: Poor job by Drew Brees and Mike Chariko of not
Speaker 1: pointing that out in real time because you hear the
Speaker 1: whistle and then you have to know the rules, and
Speaker 1: then you send it to New York and then they
Speaker 1: go touchdown and you're going, okay, like if I'm a
Speaker 1: Bengal fan. Then you go and we got away with
Speaker 1: something there because you're supposed to play the debt. Now
Speaker 1: that officiating crew doesn't get any more playoff games from
Speaker 1: what I'm told, No playoff games. Man, When you got
Speaker 1: big money, when there's gambling, you can't afford to make
Speaker 1: these mistakes. I mean, we have more gambling now than ever.
Speaker 1: Like you know, casing point Deebo Samuel on that third
Speaker 1: down run and they took how long to spot it?
Speaker 1: Look at it again? And then it was short? Okay,
Speaker 1: the Dak Prescott run. It wasn't one of those where
Speaker 1: exactly is he down? Here? You go, I get there
Speaker 1: was no time that you know they were looking at that,
Speaker 1: you know, with such scrutiny the way they did Deebo Samuel,
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, yeah, I think it's right around there. Oh,
Speaker 1: game over all, right, See you drive home safely. I went, wow.
Speaker 1: I would have thought that the officials might have said, hey,
Speaker 1: we want to get the spot correct. Yeah, Paul. So
Speaker 1: going back to the Bengals Burrows running out of bounds,
Speaker 1: the whistle blows right before his receiver catches it. Should
Speaker 1: the league in the moment said hey, yeah, I didn't
Speaker 1: have anything to do with the play, but based off
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's a rule. Yeah, you redo the
Speaker 1: play because of any you can't go well, yeah, you
Speaker 1: just can't as much as you would want it to
Speaker 1: stand in the spirit of the law. Like, you know,
Speaker 1: they scored a touchdown. It's not like that defensive back
Speaker 1: for the Raiders goes, oh, I heard that whistle. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stop. I think he was already burned for a
Speaker 1: touchdown there. But you know the rule. Home office knows
Speaker 1: the rule. That's where you go. No, Like, here's the deal.
Speaker 1: You know the whistle's blown, you gotta gotta replay the down. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: did you ever go to a Bengals home playoff game
Speaker 1: in your career as a working or yeah, as a kid? Well,
Speaker 1: I went there for the church for the cold game, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: the coldest game in history. Yeah, but those people have
Speaker 1: been waiting a long time, you know, thirty one years.
Speaker 1: Dave and Arkansas. Then we'll take a break. We gotta
Speaker 1: play the day coming up? Hey, Dave, what's on your
Speaker 1: mind today? They call me birthday and I think we
Speaker 1: all know what my worst is. The best is obviously
Speaker 1: Dallas losing, because if if Pittsburgh can't win. I definitely
Speaker 1: want Dallas out of there. I've got a big Ben
Speaker 1: limerick if you'll indulge me. All right, fire up Dave
Speaker 1: in Arkansas. They can't all end with a win, but
Speaker 1: two seasons to the top is quite a gym. He
Speaker 1: started to show some rust in Kenton. He'll have a bust.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the memories, Big Ben. All right, well done,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Dave. We appreciate that. Fritzie just sent me
Speaker 1: a limerick that will get to the wait, is this
Speaker 1: this is just about you feeling sorry for yourself? Is
Speaker 1: that we like sorry for myself? Just kind of like
Speaker 1: why I'm stuck in this box instead of there in
Speaker 1: the chair with you guys. M Well, let Todd give
Speaker 1: you is feel bad for him limerick coming up the
Speaker 1: top of the take a break, Play in the Day next.

Speaker 1: on your mind today? What up? Go once on for
Speaker 1: chat row anything happened as a weekend? Man, I don't
Speaker 1: know that. Don't batters to the weekend. Josh Allen has run.
Speaker 1: His touch is everything. I've never seen anybody put all
Speaker 1: of our game together like that. I don't think the
Speaker 1: man made a mistake. The worst is going to be
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys in the way that they lost, despite
Speaker 1: Jimmy g almost given them the game. I mean he
Speaker 1: did everything. He overthrew, he gave him an interception, he
Speaker 1: had a guy wide open in the flat and just
Speaker 1: flat out missed him. Dan, my question to you was
Speaker 1: this up, who had the worst weekend? The rest of
Speaker 1: the Vegas Cincinnati game or the Dallas Cowboys. I would
Speaker 1: say the Dallas Cowboys because that's a team that doesn't advance,
Speaker 1: the officiating crew doesn't get to do another postseason game.
Speaker 1: But I would say the Dallas Cowboys in the way
Speaker 1: they lost. Also, Dallas fans, I know it's just a few,
Speaker 1: but stay classy throwing garbage at the officials. Dak Prescott
Speaker 1: will want to have this comment back. That's sad. I
Speaker 1: mean you're talking about a team. You're talking about men
Speaker 1: that come out each and every day of their lives
Speaker 1: and give everything to the sports. Um, give everything to
Speaker 1: this game of football. Um, nobody wants to succeed more
Speaker 1: than we want to succeed. Understand fans and the word
Speaker 1: fan for fanatic, I get that, but to know everything
Speaker 1: that we put into this day in and day out,
Speaker 1: try our hardest. Um, nobody comes in in the game
Speaker 1: wanting to expecting, expecting to lose and m for for
Speaker 1: people to react that way when you're supposed to be
Speaker 1: a supporter. He with us to take it, then that's
Speaker 1: tough the referee. Ye, credit to them then, yeah, oh,
Speaker 1: credit credit to them. Yeah, credit to the fans for
Speaker 1: throwing garbage at the officials. Not smart deck. He'll uh
Speaker 1: want to walk that one back. I think, Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: people are missing out on you know, that didn't play
Speaker 1: well and it's all being I think covered up because
Speaker 1: of that last play. And once again I have problem
Speaker 1: with the call. If you know what you're doing with
Speaker 1: the call, if everybody knows, and that's where Dak has
Speaker 1: to reiterate to everybody in the huddle. Once I'm down,
Speaker 1: we have to get to the line of scrimmage and
Speaker 1: the official has to spot the ball. You don't give
Speaker 1: the ball to the center. If you've practiced this, as
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy says, then you know you have to have
Speaker 1: the official spot the ball. That's it. And it could
Speaker 1: have been a great call. It would have given them
Speaker 1: a real opportunity to throw a pass in the end zone.
Speaker 1: That's not a hail Mary. You're twenty four yards away
Speaker 1: instead of forty yards away. But everybody had to understand
Speaker 1: what their job was on that play, and they didn't.
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger, I guess is going to retire. He's the
Speaker 1: only guy who hasn't said that he's retiring. Here's Ben
Speaker 1: after the loss last night in Kansas City. Being a
Speaker 1: husband and father, never never take a day off. You
Speaker 1: got to keep going. And so as we move from
Speaker 1: one chapter to the next, it's gonna be it's gonna
Speaker 1: be different, but it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be
Speaker 1: a new challenge and I'm looking forward to it. Okay,
Speaker 1: I guess he's retiring. When we talk to Jay Glazer
Speaker 1: last week, he said, yeah, of course he's no, he's retired,
Speaker 1: because it feels like, hey, I might be retiring from
Speaker 1: the Steelers, but is anybody interested in having me? Is
Speaker 1: their quarterback? That was saying next chapter in his life
Speaker 1: being a dad and maybe that sounds official. Yeah, Paul,
Speaker 1: do you think he's afraid to say it? But why, Well,
Speaker 1: because nobody wants to quit playing football, money, fame, everything. No,
Speaker 1: Steve Young told you like a decadeo, No, he chooses
Speaker 1: to retire. Yeah, but why can't you just say you're retiring?
Speaker 1: But if he thinks himself, I'm just retiring as a Steeler,
Speaker 1: I still want another year. Well he's delusional. He's delusion. Yeah, yeah, see,
Speaker 1: And it's not like people don't ask retired quarterbacks if
Speaker 1: they want to come back. Anyway. This season, there was
Speaker 1: all kinds of stories about, hey, they're looking at Drew Bridges,
Speaker 1: we're looking at Philip Rivers, we're looking at Yeah. I
Speaker 1: don't know why Ben's not just saying nobody really wants
Speaker 1: to say it. They want to let him say it,
Speaker 1: and he did, okay last night. Well, but it just
Speaker 1: felt like they're they're non threatening. I will say that,
Speaker 1: you know, t J. Watt, it was great that he
Speaker 1: gave us just a little glimpse there of all right, okay,
Speaker 1: he gave us a good first quarter, and then Mahomes
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. That might be the fastest five touchdown pass
Speaker 1: performance in NFL history. I don't know if anybody keeps
Speaker 1: track of that, but I was thinking about that last night.
Speaker 1: In ten minutes, he had five touchdown passes. I don't
Speaker 1: know how that ranks with what happened when they faced
Speaker 1: the Texans a couple of years ago in the playoffs,
Speaker 1: but that was fast break football check in on the Patriots.
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer also stop by as well. More phone calls,
Speaker 1: best and Worse to the weekend, and Todd's limerick coming up.
