Good Morning Football. 3 00:00:26,628 --> 00:00:29,228 Speaker 2: What a way to wrap Week one of the twenty 4 00:00:29,268 --> 00:00:31,948 Speaker 2: twenty three NFL season. This is Good Morning Football. We 5 00:00:31,988 --> 00:00:34,868 Speaker 2: are presented by Old Trapper Beef Jerky, Live in New 6 00:00:34,948 --> 00:00:37,668 Speaker 2: York City. What feels like the epicenter of football in 7 00:00:37,668 --> 00:00:40,188 Speaker 2: this day. It's Tuesday, September twelfth. Jamie ear at Al, 8 00:00:40,268 --> 00:00:45,188 Speaker 2: Kyle Brant, Peter Schrager, and Jason mccordy. I don't even 9 00:00:45,228 --> 00:00:48,468 Speaker 2: know where to start right exactly. That game last night 10 00:00:48,708 --> 00:00:51,268 Speaker 2: between the Jets and the Bills. It was insane, It 11 00:00:51,308 --> 00:00:54,348 Speaker 2: was heartbreaking, it was electric. It had all the feelings. Kyle, 12 00:00:54,388 --> 00:00:54,908 Speaker 2: you were there. 13 00:00:55,068 --> 00:00:56,228 Speaker 3: I represented Goodrning Football. 14 00:00:56,268 --> 00:00:57,868 Speaker 1: Last night was at my Life Stadium was down on 15 00:00:57,868 --> 00:01:00,068 Speaker 1: the field. I saw a lot of the people I 16 00:01:00,108 --> 00:01:03,508 Speaker 1: interacted and I'm looking around at people actually tearing up. 17 00:01:03,668 --> 00:01:05,948 Speaker 1: When Aaron Rodg just runs out with the American flag 18 00:01:05,948 --> 00:01:09,068 Speaker 1: in September eleventh, and then a few minutes later, the 19 00:01:09,068 --> 00:01:11,468 Speaker 1: whole night changed. It was really really strange. I'll tell 20 00:01:11,508 --> 00:01:13,028 Speaker 1: the story and a little bit. We got to unpack 21 00:01:13,068 --> 00:01:14,708 Speaker 1: all our reactions to it and do it for you. 22 00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:17,708 Speaker 1: Twenty two to sixteen. The Jets win, they're one to oh, 23 00:01:17,788 --> 00:01:19,988 Speaker 1: the Bills are zero and one. But all the talk 24 00:01:20,068 --> 00:01:22,588 Speaker 1: after about number eight for the New York Jets. Here 25 00:01:22,668 --> 00:01:25,268 Speaker 1: is Robert Salah getting right to the chase after a win. 26 00:01:27,108 --> 00:01:32,428 Speaker 4: I'll deal with the quarterback real quick, concerned with his achilles. 27 00:01:32,948 --> 00:01:34,828 Speaker 4: MRI is probably going to confirm what we think is 28 00:01:34,868 --> 00:01:39,028 Speaker 4: already gonna happen. So prayers tonight, but it's not good personally. 29 00:01:39,068 --> 00:01:40,788 Speaker 4: I don't hurt for me, I don't hurt for our 30 00:01:40,788 --> 00:01:42,788 Speaker 4: locker room. I heard for Aaron and how much he's 31 00:01:42,828 --> 00:01:46,628 Speaker 4: invested in all of this, you know. So I'm still 32 00:01:46,668 --> 00:01:48,788 Speaker 4: gonna say prayer. I'm still gonna hold that hope. But 33 00:01:50,068 --> 00:01:52,548 Speaker 4: you know, my heart's with Aaron right now in the 34 00:01:52,668 --> 00:01:53,668 Speaker 4: or els. 35 00:01:55,748 --> 00:01:59,548 Speaker 2: So that was Robert sala about eleven thirty pm Eastern 36 00:01:59,628 --> 00:02:02,068 Speaker 2: last night, joining us now Tom Pella Sero RNFL Network 37 00:02:02,108 --> 00:02:05,468 Speaker 2: insider Tom. Anything developed over the last eight or so hours. 38 00:02:05,268 --> 00:02:09,548 Speaker 5: Of Aaron Rodgers, Well, Jamie, the Jets fear a ruptured 39 00:02:09,548 --> 00:02:13,228 Speaker 5: achilles ten to four Aaron Rodgers. Unlike some other injuries 40 00:02:13,228 --> 00:02:16,348 Speaker 5: where you really need the MRI to confirm the diagnosis, 41 00:02:16,708 --> 00:02:19,948 Speaker 5: the vast majority of the time the initial diagnosis of 42 00:02:19,988 --> 00:02:24,348 Speaker 5: an achilles is going to be confirmed. So, barring a 43 00:02:24,588 --> 00:02:27,788 Speaker 5: miracle here, as Robert Sala put it, or a potential 44 00:02:27,868 --> 00:02:31,308 Speaker 5: long shot return in the playoffs, there are a couple 45 00:02:31,308 --> 00:02:34,308 Speaker 5: of major questions here surrounding the Jets and Aaron Rodgers 46 00:02:34,428 --> 00:02:38,068 Speaker 5: number one. Who becomes the Jets quarterback? Robert Sala said 47 00:02:38,148 --> 00:02:40,708 Speaker 5: last night, Zack Wilson is the guy. He of course 48 00:02:40,828 --> 00:02:43,628 Speaker 5: is the number two overall pick. Has loads of talent, 49 00:02:43,988 --> 00:02:47,188 Speaker 5: has not translated that consistently to the field so far 50 00:02:47,188 --> 00:02:49,588 Speaker 5: in his career, but by all accounts from everyone I've 51 00:02:49,588 --> 00:02:52,468 Speaker 5: talked to, had a really good offseason, has benefited from 52 00:02:52,468 --> 00:02:55,868 Speaker 5: working with Aaron Rodgers and Nathaniel Hackett through the course 53 00:02:55,868 --> 00:02:58,708 Speaker 5: of the past several months. Here, maybe as the season 54 00:02:58,788 --> 00:03:02,148 Speaker 5: moves along it's still early, a trade or a sighting 55 00:03:02,268 --> 00:03:05,788 Speaker 5: or coaxing somebody out of retirement could potentially come into focus. 56 00:03:06,068 --> 00:03:09,468 Speaker 5: Then the second question is what happens with Aaron Rodgers. 57 00:03:09,548 --> 00:03:13,068 Speaker 5: He turns forty in December. He has dealt with a 58 00:03:13,108 --> 00:03:16,388 Speaker 5: lot of injuries through the course of his career. Here, 59 00:03:16,748 --> 00:03:19,948 Speaker 5: he was, in his own words, ninety percent certain he 60 00:03:20,068 --> 00:03:23,148 Speaker 5: was going to retire back in February and March before 61 00:03:23,188 --> 00:03:26,228 Speaker 5: he went on his darkness retreat, came out, heard that 62 00:03:26,268 --> 00:03:28,108 Speaker 5: the Packers might be looking to move on from him, 63 00:03:28,108 --> 00:03:30,828 Speaker 5: and decided he wanted to give this one more go. 64 00:03:31,148 --> 00:03:33,068 Speaker 5: Does he decide, as he has said in the past, 65 00:03:33,348 --> 00:03:35,308 Speaker 5: to come back for another season. 66 00:03:35,548 --> 00:03:36,468 Speaker 3: That is not an. 67 00:03:36,308 --> 00:03:40,388 Speaker 5: Easy rehab process to do. Rodgers has said he's committed 68 00:03:40,428 --> 00:03:43,628 Speaker 5: to multiple years with the Jets here, but a lot 69 00:03:43,628 --> 00:03:46,308 Speaker 5: of different moving parts. What we know immediately here is, 70 00:03:46,388 --> 00:03:49,268 Speaker 5: in all likelihood, Aaron Rodgers is going to miss the 71 00:03:49,308 --> 00:03:52,788 Speaker 5: rest of the twenty twenty three season. And the Jets, 72 00:03:52,868 --> 00:03:56,188 Speaker 5: whose defense last night certainly looked championship caliber. They have 73 00:03:56,268 --> 00:03:58,548 Speaker 5: a lot of playmakers on offense, are going to have 74 00:03:58,708 --> 00:04:01,508 Speaker 5: to figure out do they have the answer in house, 75 00:04:01,628 --> 00:04:04,228 Speaker 5: namely Zach Wilson, to be able to still make this 76 00:04:04,588 --> 00:04:05,828 Speaker 5: potential championship team. 77 00:04:05,948 --> 00:04:08,748 Speaker 2: Jamie, Yeah, Tom, you can imagine there was a lot 78 00:04:08,788 --> 00:04:11,748 Speaker 2: of lost sleep around the Jets organization last night, whether 79 00:04:11,788 --> 00:04:14,668 Speaker 2: it be Aaron Rodgers waiting for that MRI, Robert Sala 80 00:04:14,748 --> 00:04:17,228 Speaker 2: looking in the future of his team this season. Tom 81 00:04:17,308 --> 00:04:19,628 Speaker 2: will look to you if that MRI result comes back 82 00:04:19,668 --> 00:04:21,468 Speaker 2: at all the next couple of hours here on Good 83 00:04:21,468 --> 00:04:24,308 Speaker 2: Morning Football, until then we'll give our reaction here at 84 00:04:24,308 --> 00:04:26,828 Speaker 2: the table as to the news that we saw unfold. 85 00:04:26,908 --> 00:04:28,948 Speaker 2: Kyle sawt in person. We all watched it last night. 86 00:04:29,028 --> 00:04:31,668 Speaker 2: The four of us were texting feverishly about it. Peter, 87 00:04:31,708 --> 00:04:32,308 Speaker 2: are your thoughts? 88 00:04:32,668 --> 00:04:35,388 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know you mentioned sleepless nights. I've been texting 89 00:04:35,428 --> 00:04:38,788 Speaker 6: with three different Jets coaches. They haven't slept. They haven't slept. 90 00:04:38,828 --> 00:04:41,268 Speaker 6: It's seven am Eastern and they probably got home at 91 00:04:41,268 --> 00:04:44,228 Speaker 6: three and three different coaches, different facets of the game, 92 00:04:44,588 --> 00:04:47,028 Speaker 6: just talking about what happened last night. They had excited 93 00:04:47,028 --> 00:04:52,348 Speaker 6: about the win, but devastated. Devastated, not only for the 94 00:04:52,388 --> 00:04:55,988 Speaker 6: fans and for Rogers. This guy was so invested all 95 00:04:56,028 --> 00:04:58,028 Speaker 6: summer and has been a coach for the team and 96 00:04:58,028 --> 00:05:00,908 Speaker 6: has put everybody under his wing, has been the ideal 97 00:05:01,308 --> 00:05:04,348 Speaker 6: veteran leader, and like that, it's gone. 98 00:05:04,508 --> 00:05:06,708 Speaker 3: There's something so New York about this. 99 00:05:06,828 --> 00:05:08,548 Speaker 6: And I'm going to go back to a legendary New 100 00:05:08,588 --> 00:05:12,148 Speaker 6: York comedian in Woody Allen. If you want to hear 101 00:05:12,228 --> 00:05:16,348 Speaker 6: God laugh, tell them your plans. That's a Woody Allen quote. 102 00:05:16,428 --> 00:05:18,188 Speaker 6: If you want to hear God laughed. The Jets had 103 00:05:18,228 --> 00:05:23,988 Speaker 6: these plans the intro. It's almost ghastly humorous. If you 104 00:05:24,028 --> 00:05:26,228 Speaker 6: look back on the whole build up this summer and 105 00:05:26,268 --> 00:05:29,628 Speaker 6: how quick it was. Four snaps. We never saw Aaron 106 00:05:29,708 --> 00:05:33,108 Speaker 6: Rodgers complete it passes the New York Jet, and yet 107 00:05:33,548 --> 00:05:35,988 Speaker 6: they win the game. They've got a guy who they 108 00:05:36,028 --> 00:05:39,108 Speaker 6: once valued so much that they drafted second Overall, the 109 00:05:39,148 --> 00:05:40,668 Speaker 6: team has one of the best defenses in the league. 110 00:05:40,668 --> 00:05:41,868 Speaker 3: They just beat Josh Allen. 111 00:05:42,708 --> 00:05:46,068 Speaker 6: There is a silver lining to this, but it's devastation 112 00:05:46,148 --> 00:05:48,388 Speaker 6: and if you're a Jets fan, it's hard not to 113 00:05:48,388 --> 00:05:50,948 Speaker 6: look in the mirror and say, why, why does this 114 00:05:50,988 --> 00:05:54,668 Speaker 6: happen to happen this way? Can we not have nice things? 115 00:05:55,348 --> 00:05:58,028 Speaker 6: The answer is, he's a thirty nine year old quarterback 116 00:05:58,268 --> 00:06:02,428 Speaker 6: who was brought in and snapped his achilles And that's 117 00:06:02,428 --> 00:06:04,388 Speaker 6: what we're saying, reportedly haping we get the full emrie, 118 00:06:04,468 --> 00:06:06,828 Speaker 6: but that's what it sounds like. And it's happened before 119 00:06:06,828 --> 00:06:09,308 Speaker 6: to other quarterbacks. It's happened a lot of weekend Warriors before. 120 00:06:09,548 --> 00:06:13,028 Speaker 6: And human body can be cruel sometimes, and this one is. 121 00:06:13,468 --> 00:06:15,748 Speaker 6: It's not a laughing matter. And yet you look at 122 00:06:15,788 --> 00:06:18,748 Speaker 6: it thirty thousand feet from the air and you're like, gosh, 123 00:06:18,748 --> 00:06:21,948 Speaker 6: God is just laughing at us like it's sick. And 124 00:06:21,988 --> 00:06:25,068 Speaker 6: this is how it goes after the amazing intro, the 125 00:06:25,148 --> 00:06:30,588 Speaker 6: flag being planted like that, later it's it's incredible, and 126 00:06:30,668 --> 00:06:32,828 Speaker 6: yet there's still sixteen more weeks to play. 127 00:06:32,948 --> 00:06:36,228 Speaker 7: Yeah, I think everybody was watching at home and disbelief 128 00:06:36,308 --> 00:06:38,268 Speaker 7: of what just happened, Like you went on social media 129 00:06:38,308 --> 00:06:40,868 Speaker 7: and everybody was just kind of stuck in that moment. 130 00:06:40,948 --> 00:06:43,468 Speaker 7: As I'm watching last night and Rogers gets up. When 131 00:06:43,508 --> 00:06:46,148 Speaker 7: he sat back down and kind of rocked back and 132 00:06:46,188 --> 00:06:49,668 Speaker 7: then just sat up, it was just like, my goodness, 133 00:06:49,748 --> 00:06:53,228 Speaker 7: and you look at that and what Robert Salas said, 134 00:06:53,468 --> 00:06:55,908 Speaker 7: I'm not worried about myself. I'm not worried about the team. 135 00:06:56,388 --> 00:06:59,628 Speaker 7: I really feel for Aaron and as an athlete, you 136 00:06:59,708 --> 00:07:02,428 Speaker 7: put so much into your craft, so much into training, 137 00:07:02,428 --> 00:07:05,188 Speaker 7: an the off season, so much into I think that's 138 00:07:05,228 --> 00:07:07,948 Speaker 7: the one thing we always hear from Aaron Rodgers, and 139 00:07:07,988 --> 00:07:10,508 Speaker 7: whether you agree with him disagree with him, his mental 140 00:07:10,508 --> 00:07:13,828 Speaker 7: approach to the game and how he said manifestation and 141 00:07:13,868 --> 00:07:17,028 Speaker 7: different things of that nature. Everything he's done this offseason 142 00:07:17,068 --> 00:07:19,868 Speaker 7: to get to this moment, switching teams from Green Bay 143 00:07:19,908 --> 00:07:21,908 Speaker 7: for so long to the New York Jets, and we 144 00:07:21,908 --> 00:07:24,068 Speaker 7: were so excited to see what the journey was going 145 00:07:24,148 --> 00:07:27,508 Speaker 7: to look like. And in a split second, next thing 146 00:07:27,548 --> 00:07:30,268 Speaker 7: you know, you're injured. You're possibly out for the season. 147 00:07:30,388 --> 00:07:33,508 Speaker 7: You're in the surgery room and you're rehabbing, and now 148 00:07:33,508 --> 00:07:36,228 Speaker 7: you're trying to make decisions and look forward to what's 149 00:07:36,348 --> 00:07:39,908 Speaker 7: next for me, and a day before, you're planning out 150 00:07:39,988 --> 00:07:42,628 Speaker 7: the next eighteen weeks of your life of playing a 151 00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:45,788 Speaker 7: football game week in and week out and preparing. So 152 00:07:45,988 --> 00:07:47,548 Speaker 7: I hurt for him, but I do hurt for the 153 00:07:47,548 --> 00:07:49,348 Speaker 7: guys in the locker room because when you have a 154 00:07:49,428 --> 00:07:52,268 Speaker 7: leader in a guy's town, to this Aaron Rodgers, you 155 00:07:52,348 --> 00:07:54,468 Speaker 7: look to him so much, and when you see that 156 00:07:54,628 --> 00:07:57,068 Speaker 7: image of him down on the ground, when you see 157 00:07:57,108 --> 00:08:00,068 Speaker 7: him limping off of a car, it is tough to 158 00:08:00,148 --> 00:08:03,068 Speaker 7: continue because you know what he's been through because you've 159 00:08:03,068 --> 00:08:05,148 Speaker 7: been in the locker room next to him all summer. 160 00:08:05,188 --> 00:08:07,108 Speaker 7: So that was a tough one to go. When you 161 00:08:07,148 --> 00:08:09,268 Speaker 7: see the stars in our league go down, you know 162 00:08:09,348 --> 00:08:10,428 Speaker 7: the impact that it has. 163 00:08:11,188 --> 00:08:13,668 Speaker 1: I'm standing in the corner of the end zone. Man, 164 00:08:13,748 --> 00:08:16,748 Speaker 1: that place was awesome. It was really really special. I've 165 00:08:16,748 --> 00:08:18,188 Speaker 1: been in a lot of stadiums I'm not naive. I 166 00:08:18,388 --> 00:08:21,308 Speaker 1: get it. The view the earlier in the evening, there 167 00:08:21,348 --> 00:08:24,508 Speaker 1: was a giant rainbow that was coming down. It was 168 00:08:24,668 --> 00:08:27,028 Speaker 1: nine to eleven. This is just me shooting on my phone. 169 00:08:27,068 --> 00:08:28,508 Speaker 1: I was shooting. This is not the play. This a 170 00:08:28,508 --> 00:08:30,908 Speaker 1: couple of plays beforehand. This is right where I'm standing. 171 00:08:31,788 --> 00:08:34,388 Speaker 1: He goes down and I'm standing that. You know, they 172 00:08:34,428 --> 00:08:36,228 Speaker 1: have the one of these giant flags and all these 173 00:08:36,268 --> 00:08:39,148 Speaker 1: first responders are holding the flag. He goes down, gets up, 174 00:08:39,188 --> 00:08:41,548 Speaker 1: goes back down. I'm standing next to a firefighter, New 175 00:08:41,628 --> 00:08:43,628 Speaker 1: York firefighter, and the guy turns me. He goes, he's done, 176 00:08:43,628 --> 00:08:45,028 Speaker 1: and I go, what do you mean? He goes he's done. 177 00:08:45,068 --> 00:08:47,108 Speaker 1: He's like, he's done. I'm telling you right now. 178 00:08:47,028 --> 00:08:47,588 Speaker 3: He's done. 179 00:08:47,868 --> 00:08:49,708 Speaker 1: And I'm looking at it and I text you guys, 180 00:08:49,748 --> 00:08:50,988 Speaker 1: I'm like, I think that's an achilles. 181 00:08:51,028 --> 00:08:55,188 Speaker 3: And I'll tell you why later. But it was so sad. 182 00:08:55,228 --> 00:08:56,068 Speaker 3: And let me tell you why. 183 00:08:57,428 --> 00:08:59,908 Speaker 1: The evening was really strange because there was bizarre weather 184 00:08:59,948 --> 00:09:01,708 Speaker 1: in New York last nights and there was these storm 185 00:09:01,708 --> 00:09:03,148 Speaker 1: warnings and shelter in place. 186 00:09:02,948 --> 00:09:04,948 Speaker 3: And all that. So a ton of people got to 187 00:09:04,988 --> 00:09:05,508 Speaker 3: the game late. 188 00:09:05,948 --> 00:09:08,188 Speaker 1: I left about ten to fifteen minutes after the injury, 189 00:09:08,228 --> 00:09:10,868 Speaker 1: and as I'm leaving Matt Life, there's a lot of 190 00:09:10,908 --> 00:09:11,788 Speaker 1: people coming in. 191 00:09:11,868 --> 00:09:14,348 Speaker 3: All right. I walked past this breaks my heart. I 192 00:09:14,428 --> 00:09:15,348 Speaker 3: walked past. 193 00:09:15,268 --> 00:09:18,228 Speaker 1: These is a mom and a dad and three boys, 194 00:09:18,788 --> 00:09:21,108 Speaker 1: all five of them had on number eight Jets jerseys, 195 00:09:21,268 --> 00:09:23,148 Speaker 1: all five and they're going into the game and they 196 00:09:23,148 --> 00:09:25,308 Speaker 1: don't know, they don't know they're walking into the game. 197 00:09:25,428 --> 00:09:27,748 Speaker 1: Two minutes later, I walked past this crew of just 198 00:09:27,828 --> 00:09:30,388 Speaker 1: bros and the are they're Jets fans and they're all 199 00:09:30,508 --> 00:09:32,268 Speaker 1: chanting Aaron Rodgers. 200 00:09:32,308 --> 00:09:33,388 Speaker 3: I mean they've been tail getting him. 201 00:09:33,388 --> 00:09:35,988 Speaker 1: They're all they don't know because everybody's showing up late 202 00:09:36,068 --> 00:09:38,348 Speaker 1: to the game, and they had no clue, no clue 203 00:09:38,348 --> 00:09:39,468 Speaker 1: on the first few plays. 204 00:09:39,788 --> 00:09:41,188 Speaker 3: So it was heartbreaking. 205 00:09:41,388 --> 00:09:44,228 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers is the single most interesting player we have 206 00:09:44,268 --> 00:09:45,508 Speaker 1: in this league. I don't care what you think of 207 00:09:45,588 --> 00:09:48,788 Speaker 1: them orv as a player. He's a fascinating piece of content. 208 00:09:48,868 --> 00:09:52,068 Speaker 1: Something we talk about and I mean it's he's not 209 00:09:52,108 --> 00:09:53,988 Speaker 1: gonna play this year, Guys like, let me just put 210 00:09:53,988 --> 00:09:55,588 Speaker 1: the cards on the table. If you don't know, I 211 00:09:55,668 --> 00:09:58,028 Speaker 1: ruptured my achilles on camera for the show we're shooting 212 00:09:58,028 --> 00:09:59,508 Speaker 1: in a commercial A few years ago. I had a 213 00:09:59,508 --> 00:10:02,508 Speaker 1: full achilles rupture. This whole thing about they fear it 214 00:10:02,588 --> 00:10:05,468 Speaker 1: might be. It's not a thing, you know immediately. I've 215 00:10:05,508 --> 00:10:07,388 Speaker 1: talked about this this week. Let me explain how this works. 216 00:10:07,508 --> 00:10:09,348 Speaker 1: If they think you ruptured your achilles, they lie you 217 00:10:09,388 --> 00:10:11,748 Speaker 1: down on the table, on your ton, your stomach. 218 00:10:12,308 --> 00:10:14,228 Speaker 3: They squeeze your calf and if. 219 00:10:14,148 --> 00:10:17,348 Speaker 1: Your foot doesn't move, it's gone because the tendon is ripped. 220 00:10:17,468 --> 00:10:19,628 Speaker 1: They do it on the field. It takes five seconds. 221 00:10:19,668 --> 00:10:23,868 Speaker 1: There is no miracle, Mri. Every doctor worth AsSalt knows 222 00:10:24,028 --> 00:10:26,108 Speaker 1: that you squeeze the calf and that the foot doesn't move. 223 00:10:26,108 --> 00:10:29,028 Speaker 1: We got a rupture. It's that fast. I had surgery 224 00:10:29,068 --> 00:10:30,868 Speaker 1: on my achilles, and I said to the doctor, I said, 225 00:10:31,028 --> 00:10:32,588 Speaker 1: is this common that you see people like me? 226 00:10:32,628 --> 00:10:35,508 Speaker 3: He goes. My whole office is built on forty year. 227 00:10:35,428 --> 00:10:38,428 Speaker 1: Olds playing sports. Here's Aaron Rodgers, gonna be forty this year. 228 00:10:38,588 --> 00:10:41,028 Speaker 1: He tries to evade a sackling. He's done thousands of times. 229 00:10:41,188 --> 00:10:43,868 Speaker 1: It's gone. He will listen. I'm not a doctor, I'm 230 00:10:43,908 --> 00:10:45,228 Speaker 1: not a train on an insane I don't think he's 231 00:10:45,228 --> 00:10:46,988 Speaker 1: playing football game this season, based on what I've seen, 232 00:10:47,068 --> 00:10:48,708 Speaker 1: based on what i've been through and I feel terrible 233 00:10:48,708 --> 00:10:49,108 Speaker 1: about it. 234 00:10:49,228 --> 00:10:51,308 Speaker 2: Well, to your point, I was going to compliment the 235 00:10:51,348 --> 00:10:54,068 Speaker 2: mental fortitude it must have taken for everyone on that 236 00:10:54,148 --> 00:10:57,988 Speaker 2: jet sideline. Robert Sola must have known minutes later, he 237 00:10:58,068 --> 00:11:00,268 Speaker 2: had it in his face. It must have gotten to 238 00:11:00,348 --> 00:11:01,988 Speaker 2: him whenever they took him back to that table and 239 00:11:02,028 --> 00:11:04,548 Speaker 2: did that very simple test. There was a decision that 240 00:11:04,628 --> 00:11:06,708 Speaker 2: was made, I believe, and I know it's hard to 241 00:11:06,748 --> 00:11:09,108 Speaker 2: not have people whisper and not have trainers come out, 242 00:11:09,148 --> 00:11:11,468 Speaker 2: but I think a decision was made to go with 243 00:11:11,508 --> 00:11:14,108 Speaker 2: the X rays or negative statement, and that was that 244 00:11:14,508 --> 00:11:17,348 Speaker 2: to not impact the emotional well being of this team 245 00:11:17,428 --> 00:11:19,948 Speaker 2: that was still on the field, Like you almost needed 246 00:11:19,988 --> 00:11:22,068 Speaker 2: to have this flicker of hope. I think if I 247 00:11:22,108 --> 00:11:24,028 Speaker 2: was a player on that field that if we get 248 00:11:24,068 --> 00:11:26,108 Speaker 2: through this one, we might have him. If we can 249 00:11:26,108 --> 00:11:28,228 Speaker 2: get through this one, want to know he might be 250 00:11:28,308 --> 00:11:32,668 Speaker 2: coming back solid new Bigger people knew, but the team 251 00:11:32,788 --> 00:11:35,228 Speaker 2: didn't have to know until they had to know. And unfortunately, 252 00:11:35,228 --> 00:11:38,828 Speaker 2: maybe after that game finished and the elation was gone, 253 00:11:39,228 --> 00:11:41,708 Speaker 2: then the news hit them and the reality set in. 254 00:11:42,068 --> 00:11:44,228 Speaker 2: But I think a decision was made that they didn't 255 00:11:44,228 --> 00:11:46,548 Speaker 2: want to tell anybody until because they needed the mental 256 00:11:46,588 --> 00:11:48,348 Speaker 2: fortitude because I think it would have taken the air 257 00:11:48,388 --> 00:11:50,228 Speaker 2: out of them even more than it did, even more 258 00:11:50,268 --> 00:11:51,148 Speaker 2: than it did the stadium. 259 00:11:52,068 --> 00:11:53,788 Speaker 6: It says a lot about that locker room and that 260 00:11:53,828 --> 00:11:55,428 Speaker 6: coaching staff that they lifted the team up. It could 261 00:11:55,428 --> 00:11:57,108 Speaker 6: have been very easily thirty four to nothing, like we 262 00:11:57,228 --> 00:11:59,828 Speaker 6: just lost Rodgers. Somehow they win the game, which we 263 00:11:59,828 --> 00:12:02,228 Speaker 6: haven't even discussed about the actual football that followed, because 264 00:12:02,228 --> 00:12:04,828 Speaker 6: they're in this situation by Rodgers. But you've come out 265 00:12:04,828 --> 00:12:06,828 Speaker 6: of that this morning. You're like, that's as bad as 266 00:12:06,828 --> 00:12:08,508 Speaker 6: it could have gone, and yet they won. 267 00:12:08,868 --> 00:12:10,068 Speaker 3: I want to know, are we going to get the 268 00:12:10,108 --> 00:12:12,308 Speaker 3: Dick Vermill space for me today? Peter he psually gives this, 269 00:12:12,388 --> 00:12:12,908 Speaker 3: we will. 270 00:12:12,828 --> 00:12:15,388 Speaker 1: Rally around Zach Wilson. When Trancreen got hurt, it was 271 00:12:15,428 --> 00:12:17,948 Speaker 1: Kurt Warner. We'll get into all the football. I promise 272 00:12:18,268 --> 00:12:19,948 Speaker 1: they can win games with Zach Wilson. Can they get 273 00:12:19,948 --> 00:12:20,388 Speaker 1: to the playoffs? 274 00:12:20,428 --> 00:12:22,548 Speaker 3: I don't know. We'll see. 275 00:12:23,588 --> 00:12:26,148 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a harsh reality. Sitting in for Josh Allen. 276 00:12:26,428 --> 00:12:30,068 Speaker 2: Not great last night against the New York Jets. Fumbled 277 00:12:30,468 --> 00:12:32,908 Speaker 2: through the ball away three times to this same guy. 278 00:12:34,268 --> 00:12:36,868 Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs picked him up when he needed to put 279 00:12:36,868 --> 00:12:37,388 Speaker 2: the team. 280 00:12:37,228 --> 00:12:38,028 Speaker 3: In certain spots. 281 00:12:38,068 --> 00:12:40,508 Speaker 2: But four turnovers at the hand of Josh Allen Kyle 282 00:12:40,588 --> 00:12:40,948 Speaker 2: not great. 283 00:12:41,388 --> 00:12:44,668 Speaker 1: No, I mean it's it's terrible. And Jason, we're kind 284 00:12:44,668 --> 00:12:46,948 Speaker 1: of laughing during the break. Josh Allen's very good at 285 00:12:46,948 --> 00:12:49,268 Speaker 1: taking accountability and saying that was my fault. He's not 286 00:12:49,388 --> 00:12:52,388 Speaker 1: very good at not messing up. I would I love 287 00:12:52,428 --> 00:12:54,548 Speaker 1: that he does that. I wish he didn't have to 288 00:12:54,588 --> 00:12:57,308 Speaker 1: do it all the time. The Bills scored one touchdown 289 00:12:57,348 --> 00:13:00,748 Speaker 1: last night, he had four turnovers, and this, like, this 290 00:13:00,788 --> 00:13:02,668 Speaker 1: is a bigger thing now, Guys like this, this is 291 00:13:02,748 --> 00:13:05,228 Speaker 1: again we control all delete were folks in football and 292 00:13:05,268 --> 00:13:06,948 Speaker 1: the off season is going to be a fresh start. 293 00:13:07,428 --> 00:13:09,308 Speaker 1: Led the league in turnovers last year, has led the 294 00:13:09,388 --> 00:13:12,428 Speaker 1: league in turnovers since he entered the NFL six years ago. 295 00:13:12,548 --> 00:13:16,188 Speaker 1: Whatever it was, they were really bad. And look, week 296 00:13:16,188 --> 00:13:18,148 Speaker 1: one's a liar. I say it a lot, and you 297 00:13:18,188 --> 00:13:21,188 Speaker 1: look at you know, Burrow was terrible, Mahomes didn't light 298 00:13:21,228 --> 00:13:22,068 Speaker 1: the world on fire. 299 00:13:22,308 --> 00:13:24,228 Speaker 3: Jones, Daniel Jones were terrible. 300 00:13:24,308 --> 00:13:26,028 Speaker 1: And like the best thing I can say for the 301 00:13:26,028 --> 00:13:28,148 Speaker 1: Bills right now is that the Bengals and Chiefs lost 302 00:13:28,468 --> 00:13:32,308 Speaker 1: and the Steelers looks terrible, but this is not just 303 00:13:32,348 --> 00:13:35,268 Speaker 1: a one week thing. He wants so badly to cut 304 00:13:35,268 --> 00:13:37,868 Speaker 1: down on the turnovers. He really does, and they're almost 305 00:13:37,908 --> 00:13:40,148 Speaker 1: always when he's chucking a deep ball. It's not these 306 00:13:40,148 --> 00:13:42,468 Speaker 1: stupid little things where he throws in and gets intercepted 307 00:13:42,468 --> 00:13:43,508 Speaker 1: by the defensive tackle. 308 00:13:43,948 --> 00:13:45,908 Speaker 3: He's just so thirsty for the big plays and like 309 00:13:45,988 --> 00:13:48,748 Speaker 3: he is a veteran in the league now a veteran, and. 310 00:13:48,668 --> 00:13:51,908 Speaker 1: I know the Jets defense is really good, but I wish, 311 00:13:51,908 --> 00:13:53,748 Speaker 1: and I think Bills fans wish that we would stop 312 00:13:53,788 --> 00:13:56,748 Speaker 1: having to see Josh take accountability so often, which he 313 00:13:56,788 --> 00:13:58,428 Speaker 1: does so well, but it's just too often. 314 00:13:58,628 --> 00:14:00,508 Speaker 6: If they had lost to the Jets and Rogers and 315 00:14:00,628 --> 00:14:02,668 Speaker 6: some shootout last night and it's okay, you know, look, 316 00:14:02,708 --> 00:14:03,988 Speaker 6: that's a tough environment to go into. 317 00:14:04,108 --> 00:14:05,668 Speaker 3: That was an incredible scene. 318 00:14:06,668 --> 00:14:09,188 Speaker 6: I think it's got to be somewhat alarming that they 319 00:14:09,268 --> 00:14:11,908 Speaker 6: lost to that Jets team given the circumstances, and the 320 00:14:12,028 --> 00:14:12,668 Speaker 6: Jets are. 321 00:14:12,788 --> 00:14:15,308 Speaker 3: So deflated after the Rogers injury. 322 00:14:15,828 --> 00:14:17,628 Speaker 8: All you have to do is hand the ball off 323 00:14:17,628 --> 00:14:19,588 Speaker 8: and keep the sticks with You had a ten point lead, 324 00:14:20,188 --> 00:14:23,548 Speaker 8: you gave the game away, and this isn't Josh Allen 325 00:14:23,628 --> 00:14:25,708 Speaker 8: year one. This isn't Josh Allen year two, and he's 326 00:14:25,708 --> 00:14:27,668 Speaker 8: playing against the Texans in the playoff game where he's 327 00:14:27,668 --> 00:14:30,268 Speaker 8: throwing that crazy lateral and it seemed like he got 328 00:14:30,268 --> 00:14:32,748 Speaker 8: out of whack at the end. Now I'm talking about 329 00:14:32,788 --> 00:14:34,748 Speaker 8: Josh Allen on the cover of mat in the face 330 00:14:34,748 --> 00:14:36,748 Speaker 8: of the league, and you know, one of the guys 331 00:14:36,948 --> 00:14:39,828 Speaker 8: is the guys, and yet it's the same stuff keeps 332 00:14:39,828 --> 00:14:42,628 Speaker 8: coming in. It's week one, and it was against a 333 00:14:42,748 --> 00:14:45,748 Speaker 8: deflated Jets team that had no life and they couldn't 334 00:14:45,748 --> 00:14:46,508 Speaker 8: take advantage. 335 00:14:46,908 --> 00:14:48,548 Speaker 3: Week one is a liar. We always say. 336 00:14:48,428 --> 00:14:51,388 Speaker 6: It, but gosh, Jets of Josh Allen, we've seen in 337 00:14:51,388 --> 00:14:54,548 Speaker 6: a lot of games throwing into tight windows unnecessarily. One 338 00:14:54,588 --> 00:14:57,668 Speaker 6: player picked him off three times last night. I'll give 339 00:14:57,668 --> 00:14:59,228 Speaker 6: you a stat I got over the weekend. One of 340 00:14:59,228 --> 00:15:01,028 Speaker 6: the Fox guys whispered in my ear was like, you know, 341 00:15:01,108 --> 00:15:04,228 Speaker 6: last year Josh Allen threw six different had six different 342 00:15:04,588 --> 00:15:10,348 Speaker 6: zone turnovers six The next league leader, number two had three. 343 00:15:10,668 --> 00:15:12,468 Speaker 6: I don't know how you tell someone cut down on 344 00:15:12,548 --> 00:15:14,988 Speaker 6: being aggressive, cut down on trying to throw into those windows, 345 00:15:15,028 --> 00:15:18,788 Speaker 6: cut down. But at this point, year after year after year, 346 00:15:19,348 --> 00:15:21,068 Speaker 6: maybe it's just what you have to take with Josh 347 00:15:21,108 --> 00:15:22,908 Speaker 6: Allen and it might not be fixable. 348 00:15:23,468 --> 00:15:23,668 Speaker 3: See. 349 00:15:23,708 --> 00:15:25,948 Speaker 7: I feel like that's the excuse we give Josh Allen 350 00:15:26,268 --> 00:15:29,188 Speaker 7: because Dak Prescott throws a ton of interceptions and we're 351 00:15:29,228 --> 00:15:30,388 Speaker 7: just like, that sucks. 352 00:15:30,388 --> 00:15:30,988 Speaker 3: He's not good. 353 00:15:31,388 --> 00:15:34,068 Speaker 7: Can't win a Super Bowl with Josh Allen. He makes 354 00:15:34,108 --> 00:15:37,188 Speaker 7: an unbelievable play rolling out to his right, throws it 355 00:15:37,228 --> 00:15:39,028 Speaker 7: back to his left, fines digs in the back of. 356 00:15:39,028 --> 00:15:41,068 Speaker 3: The end zone, and we're like, all right, Well, when he. 357 00:15:41,028 --> 00:15:43,268 Speaker 7: Goes out there and he throws interceptions, well, it's just 358 00:15:43,308 --> 00:15:45,748 Speaker 7: because he's an aggressive player. He has a cannon for 359 00:15:45,828 --> 00:15:48,588 Speaker 7: an arm. He's gonna take chances. So you gotta take 360 00:15:48,628 --> 00:15:51,748 Speaker 7: the good with the bad. But no, like this has 361 00:15:51,788 --> 00:15:54,588 Speaker 7: been going on for too long. That game last night, 362 00:15:54,908 --> 00:15:57,828 Speaker 7: Aaron Rodgers gets hurt, Zach Wilson comes in, throws a 363 00:15:57,988 --> 00:16:01,428 Speaker 7: really bad interception. If I'm on the Buffalo Bill sideline, 364 00:16:01,508 --> 00:16:03,588 Speaker 7: if I'm on offense, let's just not screw it up. 365 00:16:03,828 --> 00:16:06,148 Speaker 7: Our defense go out there, possibly get us the ball back. 366 00:16:06,188 --> 00:16:08,708 Speaker 7: We kick a few field goals, control the ball, we're good. 367 00:16:09,508 --> 00:16:12,588 Speaker 7: Three interceptions. None of those throws needed to be made. 368 00:16:12,628 --> 00:16:14,668 Speaker 7: Two of them. You're just chucking up a punt to 369 00:16:14,708 --> 00:16:17,508 Speaker 7: see who comes down with it, and it was Jordan Whitehead. 370 00:16:17,588 --> 00:16:20,428 Speaker 7: Time after time the fumble. To your point, Cole just 371 00:16:20,508 --> 00:16:23,668 Speaker 7: drops the snap. Mark Sanchez tweeted out somebody else fumbled 372 00:16:23,708 --> 00:16:25,068 Speaker 7: running in till they don't got no Mark. 373 00:16:25,828 --> 00:16:27,828 Speaker 3: No, that was Michael Clemens that hit him. It was 374 00:16:27,828 --> 00:16:29,108 Speaker 3: a tough hit. He fumbled. 375 00:16:29,148 --> 00:16:31,988 Speaker 7: Mark, You're still alone in that category. But for Josh Allen, 376 00:16:32,028 --> 00:16:35,308 Speaker 7: it's just like, come on, I love the accountability after 377 00:16:35,348 --> 00:16:38,708 Speaker 7: the game, but if you are that accountable, stop doing it. 378 00:16:38,948 --> 00:16:41,188 Speaker 7: He's too good of a player of the plays we 379 00:16:41,228 --> 00:16:44,348 Speaker 7: see him that are fantastic to continue to make these 380 00:16:44,388 --> 00:16:48,548 Speaker 7: type of boneheaded mistakes. So as a teammate, we crushed 381 00:16:48,708 --> 00:16:51,268 Speaker 7: Stefan Dicks for the passion he shows on the sideline 382 00:16:51,268 --> 00:16:53,348 Speaker 7: and this, that and the third, But we credit a 383 00:16:53,428 --> 00:16:56,388 Speaker 7: quarterback when somebody messes up and they're yelling and screaming 384 00:16:56,428 --> 00:16:58,668 Speaker 7: at him, holding them accountable on the sideline. 385 00:16:58,668 --> 00:17:00,508 Speaker 3: For Josh Allen, do better. 386 00:17:00,668 --> 00:17:03,868 Speaker 7: You're too good of a football player to continue to 387 00:17:03,868 --> 00:17:06,628 Speaker 7: make the type of mistakes. And I don't know if 388 00:17:06,628 --> 00:17:08,588 Speaker 7: it's just Kyle to your point, when you picked them 389 00:17:08,588 --> 00:17:10,228 Speaker 7: to win a Super Bowl, you're like, Hey, we don't 390 00:17:10,268 --> 00:17:11,708 Speaker 7: need Josh Allen to be MVP. 391 00:17:11,988 --> 00:17:14,908 Speaker 3: We just need the simple plays. They said that time 392 00:17:14,948 --> 00:17:16,388 Speaker 3: after time. I don't know what is going to. 393 00:17:16,428 --> 00:17:18,788 Speaker 7: Take for him to fall into that category. 394 00:17:19,708 --> 00:17:21,428 Speaker 2: What he said too, is that he didn't need his 395 00:17:21,588 --> 00:17:25,108 Speaker 2: rushing statistics to be electric. We didn't need, you know, 396 00:17:25,388 --> 00:17:28,628 Speaker 2: seventeen leaps one leap per game. Like there was a 397 00:17:28,668 --> 00:17:31,668 Speaker 2: shot last night that unless people doctored it together, I 398 00:17:31,668 --> 00:17:34,708 Speaker 2: think went hand in hand, which is Sean McDermott begging 399 00:17:34,828 --> 00:17:38,868 Speaker 2: Josh Allen to be smart, be smart, pointing at his temples, 400 00:17:38,908 --> 00:17:41,988 Speaker 2: looking at his team, be smart. He takes off Troy 401 00:17:42,028 --> 00:17:43,268 Speaker 2: Aikman at times, does what. 402 00:17:43,508 --> 00:17:44,068 Speaker 6: Are you doing? 403 00:17:44,748 --> 00:17:47,348 Speaker 2: Traigman was begging Zach Wilson to give Gary Wilson a look, 404 00:17:47,348 --> 00:17:50,828 Speaker 2: and then begging Josh Allen to play within yourself. You 405 00:17:50,828 --> 00:17:54,468 Speaker 2: don't have to be like this. Jeff's defense really good, 406 00:17:54,828 --> 00:17:56,588 Speaker 2: really good. They were hitting them hard last night. They 407 00:17:56,588 --> 00:17:59,348 Speaker 2: were all over him. But there are times when Josh 408 00:17:59,388 --> 00:18:01,828 Speaker 2: Allen took off last night where he just did not 409 00:18:02,068 --> 00:18:05,268 Speaker 2: need to do that, and the picks were But I 410 00:18:05,308 --> 00:18:07,228 Speaker 2: found at times when he decided to get out of 411 00:18:07,308 --> 00:18:08,948 Speaker 2: the pocket and feel like that was putting him in 412 00:18:08,988 --> 00:18:11,428 Speaker 2: a better situation and then not to run out. 413 00:18:11,588 --> 00:18:12,628 Speaker 3: He's leaning. 414 00:18:13,948 --> 00:18:15,668 Speaker 1: If you had said that the beat when the game started, 415 00:18:15,668 --> 00:18:17,268 Speaker 1: all right, Rogers's gonna go out on the fourth play 416 00:18:17,308 --> 00:18:18,708 Speaker 1: of the game and Wilson's gonna come and throw a 417 00:18:18,748 --> 00:18:21,948 Speaker 1: terrible interception and then Bills are gonna lose. Yeah, you 418 00:18:22,228 --> 00:18:25,188 Speaker 1: would say Josh almost had a bunch of turnovers, and 419 00:18:25,228 --> 00:18:26,908 Speaker 1: he did. And it's like, you know, he's such a golfer, 420 00:18:27,228 --> 00:18:29,148 Speaker 1: like he loves Golf's almost you want to tell him 421 00:18:29,148 --> 00:18:31,028 Speaker 1: just club down, dude, Like you don't need to drive 422 00:18:31,068 --> 00:18:33,908 Speaker 1: the green in two like hit an iron lay up 423 00:18:33,948 --> 00:18:35,828 Speaker 1: every once in a while. So especially that game, like 424 00:18:35,908 --> 00:18:39,028 Speaker 1: you got them, beat, you got them, Just don't throw 425 00:18:39,068 --> 00:18:41,268 Speaker 1: the interceptions. The problem is this, this is this is 426 00:18:41,308 --> 00:18:43,708 Speaker 1: a four year old conversation. There's a cycle with him. 427 00:18:44,068 --> 00:18:48,268 Speaker 1: Watch next week. He will be outrageously good, make crazy throws, 428 00:18:48,388 --> 00:18:50,828 Speaker 1: bold throws out of the pocket behind his back against 429 00:18:50,868 --> 00:18:51,148 Speaker 1: the raiders. 430 00:18:51,188 --> 00:18:53,268 Speaker 3: Will be see. That's why you can't tell him nothing 431 00:18:53,268 --> 00:18:55,908 Speaker 3: because it's watched. It'll be like clockwork next week, I promise. 432 00:18:56,028 --> 00:18:58,268 Speaker 6: Is there's not something weird that Burrow played the way 433 00:18:58,268 --> 00:19:02,428 Speaker 6: he did and Alan played the way and Pickett played 434 00:19:02,428 --> 00:19:02,668 Speaker 6: the way. 435 00:19:02,788 --> 00:19:04,868 Speaker 3: It's just weird to me that these quarters that we've 436 00:19:05,148 --> 00:19:06,268 Speaker 3: were so is it. 437 00:19:06,348 --> 00:19:09,428 Speaker 6: Sometimes there's just too much excitement and it's week one 438 00:19:09,468 --> 00:19:14,548 Speaker 6: and it's like we're finally these are massive, massive eggs 439 00:19:14,588 --> 00:19:17,348 Speaker 6: laid by quarterbacks that we expect so much from. I 440 00:19:17,388 --> 00:19:19,148 Speaker 6: can't think it's just well, it's a random game. 441 00:19:19,148 --> 00:19:21,988 Speaker 3: It happens like is it a week one thing. It 442 00:19:22,028 --> 00:19:26,428 Speaker 3: wasn't a week one thing for to Yeah, I'm not. 443 00:19:26,548 --> 00:19:29,628 Speaker 7: I'm not giving them all again. They played better, there's 444 00:19:29,628 --> 00:19:31,708 Speaker 7: a higher expectations. You're really good Geno Smith. 445 00:19:31,748 --> 00:19:33,388 Speaker 6: I mean, we have not seen that version of Geno 446 00:19:33,468 --> 00:19:34,548 Speaker 6: last week seventeen weeks. 447 00:19:34,628 --> 00:19:38,788 Speaker 1: Yeah, terrible, Dan John's terrible fields. Yeah, Jordan Love looks great. 448 00:19:39,108 --> 00:19:42,468 Speaker 2: To do a man listen to execute a bubble to 449 00:19:42,508 --> 00:19:42,988 Speaker 2: the surface. 450 00:19:48,708 --> 00:19:50,948 Speaker 9: We didn't perform well and that starts with me. So 451 00:19:52,188 --> 00:19:54,868 Speaker 9: you know, there's a self reflection and then you you 452 00:19:54,908 --> 00:19:59,108 Speaker 9: watch the tape, you go through whether it's decisions, whether 453 00:19:59,148 --> 00:20:03,548 Speaker 9: it's plays, well, there's techniques, and then you you move 454 00:20:03,588 --> 00:20:04,268 Speaker 9: on to the next. 455 00:20:04,108 --> 00:20:06,068 Speaker 8: Week, just as you did. 456 00:20:06,108 --> 00:20:08,748 Speaker 3: You sleep at all last night? Not a whole lot. 457 00:20:08,828 --> 00:20:13,828 Speaker 6: No, Yeah, the Jets had a sleepless night last night, 458 00:20:13,828 --> 00:20:15,828 Speaker 6: but I'll tell you two nights ago. That was Brian 459 00:20:15,948 --> 00:20:18,748 Speaker 6: Dabel after one of the weirdest Week one outcomes, not 460 00:20:18,748 --> 00:20:23,028 Speaker 6: only losing forty to nothing at home with the fans 461 00:20:23,548 --> 00:20:23,828 Speaker 6: in the. 462 00:20:23,788 --> 00:20:25,948 Speaker 3: Blue out with the blue shirts, it's. 463 00:20:25,828 --> 00:20:28,228 Speaker 6: Time for we Intereout's presented by our friends, a progressive 464 00:20:28,228 --> 00:20:31,108 Speaker 6: insurance here.

The 480 00:21:03,948 --> 00:21:07,708 Speaker 1: Giants have been in Super Bowl parades in their adult life. 481 00:21:07,828 --> 00:21:10,868 Speaker 1: They were in a playoff game last year like the Bears. 482 00:21:10,988 --> 00:21:13,988 Speaker 1: It's just that was terrible. You know, you want to compare, well, 483 00:21:14,228 --> 00:21:15,588 Speaker 1: it was forty and to nothing. I don't even know 484 00:21:15,628 --> 00:21:16,788 Speaker 1: what the score of the Bears game was. I don't 485 00:21:16,788 --> 00:21:18,188 Speaker 1: know if the Bears know, I don't know if the 486 00:21:18,188 --> 00:21:20,108 Speaker 1: Packers know. It was irrelevance. The game was over in 487 00:21:20,148 --> 00:21:23,188 Speaker 1: five minutes. I was trying to think, because I don't 488 00:21:23,228 --> 00:21:25,508 Speaker 1: consider myself a fan, but I'm like, I'm gonna. 489 00:21:25,788 --> 00:21:26,148 Speaker 3: For the Bears. 490 00:21:26,188 --> 00:21:27,828 Speaker 1: I really do we all care about the team where 491 00:21:27,828 --> 00:21:30,388 Speaker 1: you're from, trying to think of a more disappointing Bears 492 00:21:30,428 --> 00:21:32,428 Speaker 1: game in my life. There was one playoff game where 493 00:21:32,428 --> 00:21:34,468 Speaker 1: Steve Smith came in and just torts Peanut Tillman for 494 00:21:34,508 --> 00:21:37,388 Speaker 1: about three hundred yards and they destroyed them. Other than that, 495 00:21:37,508 --> 00:21:39,108 Speaker 1: like I think, I remember being six years old and 496 00:21:39,108 --> 00:21:40,588 Speaker 1: eighty five when they lost the Marino and ruin the 497 00:21:40,588 --> 00:21:43,708 Speaker 1: perfect season. This is in the top five most disappointing 498 00:21:43,748 --> 00:21:46,588 Speaker 1: Bears games of my life. The Giants fans, you've had 499 00:21:46,588 --> 00:21:48,548 Speaker 1: your share disappointments, you still got a pretty good roster, 500 00:21:48,588 --> 00:21:49,468 Speaker 1: and you have the coach of the year. 501 00:21:49,468 --> 00:21:51,388 Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's the Bears, guys, I. 502 00:21:51,908 --> 00:21:54,348 Speaker 2: Say, more disappointing than Giants. I'm out on this, but 503 00:21:54,388 --> 00:21:56,668 Speaker 2: for the reasons why Kyle just said, the standard is 504 00:21:56,708 --> 00:21:58,748 Speaker 2: higher for the Giants. I think right now they're coming 505 00:21:58,788 --> 00:22:01,508 Speaker 2: off of postseason Birthday, came off in a playoff win 506 00:22:01,748 --> 00:22:05,588 Speaker 2: last year on the road in Minnesota. You were being 507 00:22:05,588 --> 00:22:07,548 Speaker 2: held to the same standard of an Aaron Rodgers led 508 00:22:07,628 --> 00:22:10,868 Speaker 2: Jets team until Monday night, of course. So the Giants 509 00:22:10,868 --> 00:22:14,988 Speaker 2: getting blown out at home, shut out at home, so 510 00:22:15,108 --> 00:22:17,148 Speaker 2: much more disappointing than the bearsquat. 511 00:22:16,908 --> 00:22:19,788 Speaker 7: One thousand percent out on this We're still looking for 512 00:22:19,828 --> 00:22:22,908 Speaker 7: the Giants first points of the season. The Bears put 513 00:22:22,988 --> 00:22:24,868 Speaker 7: up twenty to fact that Bears fans are a little 514 00:22:24,868 --> 00:22:26,788 Speaker 7: delusional and they thought they were just going to be 515 00:22:26,868 --> 00:22:29,828 Speaker 7: great this year after they lost ten in a row 516 00:22:29,908 --> 00:22:30,308 Speaker 7: last year. 517 00:22:30,348 --> 00:22:32,668 Speaker 3: Now make it a level. I got jump over. I've 518 00:22:32,708 --> 00:22:34,668 Speaker 3: seen this take that. What were you expected? 519 00:22:34,788 --> 00:22:37,428 Speaker 1: We can't stay within thirty of the Jordan Love Packers 520 00:22:37,428 --> 00:22:39,708 Speaker 1: at home, Like, I'm not expecting a super Bowl. 521 00:22:39,868 --> 00:22:41,428 Speaker 3: You got to put a decent product though. 522 00:22:41,468 --> 00:22:44,468 Speaker 6: If those terrible, you're legitimate segments this summer on our show. 523 00:22:44,468 --> 00:22:47,508 Speaker 6: Another is talking about Justin Field as an MVP candidate. 524 00:22:47,548 --> 00:22:48,788 Speaker 3: Jack. That's their fault. 525 00:22:48,948 --> 00:22:51,948 Speaker 7: The Giants were in the playoffs last year. They didn't 526 00:22:51,988 --> 00:22:56,108 Speaker 7: score a single point against the Dallas Cowboys, who DAK 527 00:22:56,148 --> 00:22:59,588 Speaker 7: Prescott has not lost to them, so to me, Sunday 528 00:22:59,668 --> 00:23:02,788 Speaker 7: night football. The schedule makers decide to put this one 529 00:23:02,828 --> 00:23:06,708 Speaker 7: in prime time, the first Sunday night game of the year. 530 00:23:07,188 --> 00:23:11,668 Speaker 7: Cowboys Giants, and everybody was asleep by halftime. The Bears 531 00:23:11,668 --> 00:23:14,108 Speaker 7: and Packers. Yes, a very big game. Rogers is gone, 532 00:23:14,188 --> 00:23:17,068 Speaker 7: blah blah blah. The Bears continue to do what they 533 00:23:17,068 --> 00:23:19,308 Speaker 7: did and the Packers continue to do what they did. 534 00:23:19,348 --> 00:23:22,388 Speaker 7: So disappointing. Yes to the people that were rooting for Chicago, 535 00:23:22,548 --> 00:23:23,748 Speaker 7: but this is one I. 536 00:23:23,748 --> 00:23:26,108 Speaker 6: Think they're both massively disappointing. I'm gonna go with Kyle 537 00:23:26,188 --> 00:23:28,668 Speaker 6: on this one because of the fact that they lost 538 00:23:28,708 --> 00:23:31,108 Speaker 6: ten games in the season and this was the window 539 00:23:31,108 --> 00:23:33,708 Speaker 6: where now we finally take the torch from Green Bay. Now, 540 00:23:33,748 --> 00:23:36,428 Speaker 6: I know, the Giants and Cowboys have decades and decades 541 00:23:36,428 --> 00:23:38,348 Speaker 6: and the dak is won the last ten, and it's like, 542 00:23:38,908 --> 00:23:41,548 Speaker 6: but this one. You go into this game, the Bears 543 00:23:41,548 --> 00:23:44,428 Speaker 6: were favored in this game. Bears were the favorites in 544 00:23:44,468 --> 00:23:46,228 Speaker 6: this game, and some of the Giants, but the Bears 545 00:23:46,228 --> 00:23:48,028 Speaker 6: were favored for the fact that they lost all these game. 546 00:23:48,348 --> 00:23:51,428 Speaker 6: This was supposed to be the time that they finally 547 00:23:51,468 --> 00:23:54,268 Speaker 6: sees it, Rogers is gone, the big bad Wolf is 548 00:23:54,308 --> 00:23:57,308 Speaker 6: not there, and it was even worse than Rogers was there, 549 00:23:57,668 --> 00:23:59,828 Speaker 6: and the Packers looked like they didn't skip a beat 550 00:23:59,868 --> 00:24:03,188 Speaker 6: without Rogers. I'm gonna go with the Bears and Kyle 551 00:24:03,228 --> 00:24:05,988 Speaker 6: on this one because for me, it's like so much 552 00:24:05,988 --> 00:24:08,308 Speaker 6: hope leading up to this and you have this when 553 00:24:08,508 --> 00:24:11,188 Speaker 6: guess what if NBC was like given the Sunday Night game, 554 00:24:11,508 --> 00:24:13,708 Speaker 6: Fox had a bunch of games to choose from. They're like, 555 00:24:13,748 --> 00:24:15,188 Speaker 6: we're putting our number one crew on this. 556 00:24:15,628 --> 00:24:16,948 Speaker 3: Well, it's the follow up to this. 557 00:24:17,628 --> 00:24:19,348 Speaker 1: The question of the week for all of us is 558 00:24:19,508 --> 00:24:21,228 Speaker 1: which one of these teams that got hammered is most 559 00:24:21,228 --> 00:24:22,228 Speaker 1: likely to get back on their feet. 560 00:24:22,268 --> 00:24:23,228 Speaker 3: You can name many of them. 561 00:24:23,508 --> 00:24:25,468 Speaker 1: Giants are Bear is more likely to turn it around 562 00:24:25,508 --> 00:24:27,348 Speaker 1: to be in the playoffs? Just I think it's the Giants, 563 00:24:27,348 --> 00:24:29,348 Speaker 1: and that's why it's more all depressing for the Bears. 564 00:24:29,548 --> 00:24:31,428 Speaker 3: I hate this topic. I'm sorry, I'm so negative on it. 565 00:24:31,468 --> 00:24:31,908 Speaker 7: No, I get it. 566 00:24:32,028 --> 00:24:34,468 Speaker 6: Let's quickly go to the second topic here, because second 567 00:24:34,468 --> 00:24:37,348 Speaker 6: one is kind of a similar vein. There were three 568 00:24:37,468 --> 00:24:39,908 Speaker 6: AFC teams that everyone talked about as like the three 569 00:24:39,948 --> 00:24:42,548 Speaker 6: powers going into this season, the Chiefs. 570 00:24:42,188 --> 00:24:46,228 Speaker 3: The Bengals, and the Bills. All three loss. Here's the statement. 571 00:24:46,308 --> 00:24:49,068 Speaker 6: I mean, you always say Week one is a liar 572 00:24:49,628 --> 00:24:53,308 Speaker 6: and we shouldn't panic about the three AFC top tier 573 00:24:53,348 --> 00:24:54,588 Speaker 6: teams going into this season. 574 00:24:54,668 --> 00:24:57,148 Speaker 1: I completely agree we should not panic about any of them. 575 00:24:57,268 --> 00:24:59,588 Speaker 1: You think the Bengals are just gonna fall Oliver to sock. 576 00:24:59,628 --> 00:25:01,708 Speaker 1: You think the Chiefs are going to be six and eleven? Now, 577 00:25:01,788 --> 00:25:03,628 Speaker 1: the Bills have great players. All three of those teams 578 00:25:03,668 --> 00:25:04,748 Speaker 1: that will be in the playoffs. 579 00:25:04,708 --> 00:25:07,988 Speaker 2: In as well, and get back to me week five. 580 00:25:08,068 --> 00:25:11,348 Speaker 7: Ask me again. Yeah, I'm going in on this. Ken 581 00:25:11,388 --> 00:25:13,748 Speaker 7: City was out two of their best players week one. 582 00:25:13,868 --> 00:25:16,468 Speaker 7: They're still figuring things out. Borrow was not good last year. 583 00:25:16,508 --> 00:25:18,988 Speaker 7: In Week one, Cincinnati was still a good ball club. 584 00:25:19,028 --> 00:25:20,148 Speaker 7: So I'm going in as well. 585 00:25:20,148 --> 00:25:20,428 Speaker 3: I don't. 586 00:25:20,628 --> 00:25:23,268 Speaker 7: I don't think just a week one loss is just like, 587 00:25:23,268 --> 00:25:24,628 Speaker 7: oh my goodness, blow up this team. 588 00:25:24,828 --> 00:25:25,748 Speaker 3: We got to figure out well. 589 00:25:25,788 --> 00:25:28,348 Speaker 1: Week two tells the truth, though. Week two is hand 590 00:25:28,348 --> 00:25:29,668 Speaker 1: on the Bible and his hand up. I'm telling you 591 00:25:29,708 --> 00:25:31,188 Speaker 1: I won't be saying this crap anymore after. 592 00:25:31,068 --> 00:25:32,588 Speaker 3: This Week two. You lose to a Row, that is 593 00:25:32,628 --> 00:25:34,188 Speaker 3: you who you are. There's no excuse on that. 594 00:25:34,108 --> 00:25:36,348 Speaker 6: Week one is a liar and as someone who lost 595 00:25:36,508 --> 00:25:39,468 Speaker 6: in the survivor pool here on the show, You're gone already. 596 00:25:39,548 --> 00:25:39,948 Speaker 3: I'm gone. 597 00:25:39,948 --> 00:25:42,628 Speaker 6: I take the Vikings, a playoff team to beat the 598 00:25:42,668 --> 00:25:45,468 Speaker 6: Buccaneers who lost Tom Brady and guess what, Baker Mayfi 599 00:25:45,668 --> 00:25:46,788 Speaker 6: just stick farm. 600 00:25:48,628 --> 00:25:49,068 Speaker 10: I'm out. 601 00:25:52,708 --> 00:25:53,748 Speaker 3: She is all over this. 602 00:25:53,908 --> 00:25:56,708 Speaker 2: Our next guest has had a very busy week, covering 603 00:25:56,748 --> 00:26:00,628 Speaker 2: not one, but two games for NBC in NFL Week one. 604 00:26:00,668 --> 00:26:03,268 Speaker 2: She's also the host of the Emmy Award winning NFL 605 00:26:03,268 --> 00:26:06,388 Speaker 2: three sixty programs ocome Back, our Friend, Melissa Start. 606 00:26:07,748 --> 00:26:08,948 Speaker 3: Guys and girls. 607 00:26:09,188 --> 00:26:12,148 Speaker 2: So good to see you, So great to see you. 608 00:26:12,148 --> 00:26:14,108 Speaker 2: We've been seeing a lot of you. I can't imagine 609 00:26:14,148 --> 00:26:17,948 Speaker 2: what that week looked like for you. But now, coming 610 00:26:17,988 --> 00:26:19,748 Speaker 2: off of it, what are you looking forward to most? 611 00:26:19,868 --> 00:26:21,108 Speaker 3: Is the season unfolds? 612 00:26:21,628 --> 00:26:24,628 Speaker 11: Well, the first week was amazing. I mean, let's just 613 00:26:24,628 --> 00:26:28,228 Speaker 11: reflect back. Sunday Night Football does the kickoff game, so 614 00:26:28,268 --> 00:26:31,548 Speaker 11: we were in Kansas City for that, and what a 615 00:26:31,588 --> 00:26:33,748 Speaker 11: game for Detroit. I mean, of course we all know 616 00:26:33,788 --> 00:26:35,828 Speaker 11: that the Chiefs were without two of their best players, 617 00:26:35,868 --> 00:26:38,908 Speaker 11: but so fun to watch them come in there and 618 00:26:38,988 --> 00:26:40,348 Speaker 11: knock off the champs. 619 00:26:39,988 --> 00:26:40,828 Speaker 3: And Dan Campbell. 620 00:26:40,908 --> 00:26:43,548 Speaker 11: He just love his energy and it just radiates throughout 621 00:26:43,588 --> 00:26:44,828 Speaker 11: the team. He doesn't let me get a word in 622 00:26:44,988 --> 00:26:46,788 Speaker 11: edgewise when I interview him during the game. 623 00:26:48,228 --> 00:26:49,068 Speaker 3: So that's a fun one. 624 00:26:49,108 --> 00:26:52,268 Speaker 11: And then we had sort of the exact opposite on 625 00:26:52,388 --> 00:26:56,028 Speaker 11: Sunday night at MetLife with the Giants. I'm not sure 626 00:26:56,028 --> 00:26:58,708 Speaker 11: I've ever been a part of a game like that. 627 00:26:59,588 --> 00:27:01,548 Speaker 11: I'm not sure what happened there. I was talking to 628 00:27:01,588 --> 00:27:04,028 Speaker 11: Saquon Barkley last night and he said, we're good. We're 629 00:27:04,028 --> 00:27:05,868 Speaker 11: gonna get it all figured out. So there's no panic 630 00:27:05,908 --> 00:27:08,428 Speaker 11: there all the Giants fans listening. That's the beauty of 631 00:27:08,468 --> 00:27:11,788 Speaker 11: the NFL, right, the old cliche, one game at a time, 632 00:27:12,028 --> 00:27:15,788 Speaker 11: So there's hope for the giantso out. 633 00:27:15,948 --> 00:27:18,148 Speaker 7: I love it. There's always hope in the premiere of 634 00:27:18,188 --> 00:27:22,628 Speaker 7: the season. Also brings about season seven of NFL three sixty, 635 00:27:22,668 --> 00:27:25,628 Speaker 7: which premiere is tonight with the all new episode. And 636 00:27:25,708 --> 00:27:28,228 Speaker 7: last week we had Darren Waller on our show and 637 00:27:28,548 --> 00:27:31,868 Speaker 7: he talked about how he recently talked to Hayden Hurst 638 00:27:31,868 --> 00:27:33,788 Speaker 7: and he gave us a sneak peek. What else can 639 00:27:33,828 --> 00:27:35,628 Speaker 7: you tell us about this amazing story? 640 00:27:36,548 --> 00:27:39,028 Speaker 3: So a couple of years ago, we featured. 641 00:27:38,748 --> 00:27:44,388 Speaker 11: Darren Waller opening up to our colleague at NFL Network, 642 00:27:44,428 --> 00:27:47,148 Speaker 11: Steve Smith Senior. He was his former teammate, and he 643 00:27:47,188 --> 00:27:51,628 Speaker 11: talked about his depression and his addiction and his mental 644 00:27:51,628 --> 00:27:55,628 Speaker 11: health struggles. And so tonight you will see Darren Waller 645 00:27:55,708 --> 00:27:58,268 Speaker 11: continuing that conversation, but he's on the other side of it. 646 00:27:58,308 --> 00:28:01,708 Speaker 11: He's the one asking questions of Carolina Panthers tight end 647 00:28:02,068 --> 00:28:05,468 Speaker 11: Hayden Hurst. And they are former teammates in Baltimore, and 648 00:28:05,508 --> 00:28:08,188 Speaker 11: as it turns out, while they were there were going 649 00:28:08,228 --> 00:28:11,228 Speaker 11: through similar struggles. Didn't know it at the time, and 650 00:28:11,228 --> 00:28:14,308 Speaker 11: they haven't been able to have this conversation until now. 651 00:28:14,588 --> 00:28:16,548 Speaker 11: And when Darren was on last week, you saw part 652 00:28:16,588 --> 00:28:18,508 Speaker 11: of that conversation. Here's another part. 653 00:28:20,388 --> 00:28:22,228 Speaker 10: I had a close knit family group as well, but 654 00:28:22,268 --> 00:28:24,108 Speaker 10: I started to isolate myself from them because I was 655 00:28:24,108 --> 00:28:27,388 Speaker 10: projecting how I viewed myself onto them. Was that something 656 00:28:27,388 --> 00:28:29,748 Speaker 10: that happened with you? Because I know, like your family 657 00:28:29,788 --> 00:28:30,508 Speaker 10: means so much to you. 658 00:28:31,428 --> 00:28:32,908 Speaker 12: I didn't want to face it.
