Well, 18 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: I didn't think I'd be sitting here in the third 19 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,080 Speaker 1: quarter of Monday Night football saying, justin fields and the 20 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 1: Jets put up more points yesterday offensively, but they did 21 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: than both of these teams. 22 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 3: It is zero zero. 23 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,679 Speaker 1: But wait wait, we actually have a field goal. Whoa, 24 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: oh my goodness. The Eagles have put the first points 25 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: on the board and before you're even thinking, no, it's 26 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: not snowing. It's not an incredible rainstorm. There's not been 27 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: some active God. This is not Magnolia where the frogs 28 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: start flying out everywhere. No, this is just a Monday 29 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,199 Speaker 1: night football game, Philadelphia, Green Bay. It's a little chili, 30 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: but okay. The first points of the game on the 31 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: board in the third quarter an Eagles field goal to 32 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: make it three nothing. 33 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 3: Some interesting notes on this one. 34 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,520 Speaker 1: The first Monday night football game to go into halftime 35 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: scoreless since two thousand and nine. Cleveland Jets involved in 36 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: that game. They were not sure. But the Brown Oh 37 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: that makes sense, So that makes sense. Raiders, Brown's Ravens. Ah, 38 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: Brown's Raiders would be much better then. The Ravens rattled 39 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: off sixteen points, including an interception return for a touchdown. 40 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: That was Ray Rice and Joe Flacco's rookie year going 41 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: all the way back in the time machine. No, what 42 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: a miserable first half. I mean, the highlight was that 43 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: they called a false start on a quarterback sneak. Yeah, yeah, 44 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: that was a highlight. And that didn't call one on 45 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: a toush push where they were off to the razo 46 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: so you know, it's one of those things where like 47 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 1: those are the highlights and right now Jordan Love is 48 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 1: on pace to barely eclipse the passing yardage of Justin 49 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 1: Fields from yes to I mean, really, would you say Justin 50 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: Field's going for fifty four yards? Like, well, no one's 51 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: gonna oh no, no, no, just wait, no one's gonna 52 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 1: get under that. Hang on a second, judge, Yah, wait 53 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: a minute. These guys are making Aaron Rodgers look good 54 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: last night. Dude, this guy, this looks like they're making 55 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,079 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers if he was fused with Justin Fields in 56 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: some sort of super quarterback, making them look like, Hey, 57 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: this is a this is an easy day for Sam Darnold. 58 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: For me, this is an easy day for me at 59 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: the top of the food chain. If I'm Patrick Mahomes, Yeah, 60 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:08,119 Speaker 1: that was a game that I'm really glad I didn't 61 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: spend a lot of money for last night. As the 62 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 1: Steelers came to so far to play the Chargers. Man, look, 63 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,959 Speaker 1: great effort, Chargers taking care of business. But I want 64 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 1: a game that was not a game, that was not 65 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: a game that became a scrimmage that looks like man, 66 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: that looks like rams Chiefs. You know, fifty four fifty game. 67 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: Oh no, absolutely nothing, nothing at halftime, a game that 68 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: is devoid of highlights. It's devoid of everything. Again, we're 69 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 1: the show you want to tune to because we know 70 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: bad football. Now. I know bad football better than you 71 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: because your team is actually good winning now yeah, bad football. Hey, 72 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: you know that's my wheelhouse, man. And there has nothing 73 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: been so far this year worse than this game, even 74 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: Jets thirteen eleven with the Broncos a couple of weeks ago. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, 75 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: this is worse right here. Oh no, this has just 76 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: been unwatchable yet chewed near scoring drives that ended with 77 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: terrible plays by their respective quarterbacks and fumbles. In the 78 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: first quarter you had literally two drives took up the 79 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: entire quarter. You just zero points. You know, I just 80 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: think about the people playing fantasy tonight and not that 81 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: they involved, but people that are starting hurts and love yeah, 82 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 1: because you know, you start wide receivers and running backs. 83 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes you have a big nights and you don't have 84 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 1: a big night. Obviously with the Packers wide receiver situation 85 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: week to week, it changes, right, and running the football, okay, 86 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: you know Jacobs is your guy, your thing. But on 87 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,359 Speaker 1: the eagle side, Okay, I'm rolling dice with aj Brown. 88 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: I want to think Devonte Smith. Okay, Barkley is not 89 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 1: quite the same guy, but you get you get a 90 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: varying amounts, you know, from from your skill position players. 91 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: But just think about people who are playing tonight. They say, yeah, 92 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: I just need ten points out of love to win, 93 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: or I just need ten points out of jail, which 94 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get in the first half. I'm worried about 95 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: it now. It's like, man, I need ten points. We're 96 00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: midway through the third quarter. 97 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 2: Nothing. 98 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: Man, this is not good, man, not good. No, it's awful. 99 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: I mean you talk about the lost fumble points too, 100 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: So depending on your league setting, you're chasing those. But 101 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 1: you know, for the Packers with no craft, okay, Musgrave 102 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: steps up. But you know, every week it seems to 103 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 1: be a different wide receiver, so you're certainly not really 104 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 1: diving into that that mess for lack of a better term, 105 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: but you're expecting Josh Jacobs to be able to run 106 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: the ball to some level of effectiveness just thirty eight yards. 107 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: Thus far, Barkley eleven carries for forty sixty out of 108 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: fifteen yard It's like, okay, that begins it, right, Remember 109 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 1: going back before the bye is first one hundred yard 110 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: game of the season. Here we go and then nothing 111 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: just getting stuffed at the line. Yeah, and then Lane 112 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: Johnson has to be carted off with an ankle injury. 113 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you just had one thing after another. This 114 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 1: is this is a bad football game. But it's the 115 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: Eagles and the Packers and they're both at the top 116 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: of the NFC, so we always have to default too. 117 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: As long as it's called it's okay, as. 118 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 3: Long as it's close late for our purpose. Look, we win. 119 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: We don't need to talk about any part of this 120 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: game other than the end as long as because like, 121 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: who really three nothing mill third quarter? Yeat? Can we 122 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: just fast forward? 123 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: You know what? 124 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 1: This is a defensive battle. I'm really enjoying these struggles. 125 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, he didn't believe me at all. 126 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,600 Speaker 1: You know, when you want to know a funny story, 127 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: when working at ESPN, when I was at a PA 128 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: and working on Sports Center, Right, every highlight that gets 129 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,719 Speaker 1: edited at night gets a certain amount of time, right, 130 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: and the big games get important game you get longer. 131 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 1: Like usually bullet bullet points for a highlight. Everybody got 132 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: thirty seconds for one of the games they're cutting now, 133 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: other games get a minute. Sure, if it's a bigger game. 134 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: Sometimes the game goes crazy and it's great. You get 135 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: like a minute and a half highlight. Then they tell you, 136 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: tell you, hey, you're cutting Rangers twins. We're not running 137 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,839 Speaker 1: a highlight like this game was. You know, four to one, 138 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: nothing happened, You're not going to run a highlight. So like, 139 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: but then the games that are big, you have no 140 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: choice because you know the game is big and people 141 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: want to see it. Like they would say, nothing happened 142 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: the first three quarters. Cut everything from what happened in 143 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Just say hey, three nothing in the 144 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. That's where we can't start there, Yes we can. Yeah, 145 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: if nothing happened, nothing happens, So we don't need the 146 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: first three quarter as long as the end is good. 147 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: So I'm hoping trying to be positive here one day 148 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: that hey, it's been a craptastic game so far. It's 149 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: been all, but hey we still have a quarter and 150 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: a half or maybe something good now, you know, maybe 151 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: there's a defensive touchdown. I don't know, but it's just 152 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 1: got a funny watching this this game, and as we 153 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: were getting ready to transition with Rob and Carry coming 154 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: out to the odd couple, Uh, they did the Hey, 155 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: here's the first half highlights. It was all b roll 156 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: from pregame and then the two fumbles. Yeah, not a 157 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: lot of highlights. No, not a lot of highlights. 158 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 3: No, nothing, nothing going. 159 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: So we'll keep you updated on this again. Three nothing, 160 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: Eagles with the lead. Well again, you're happy if you 161 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: have the under right now? And a half was the 162 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 1: over one kickout. I feel pretty good about that. Right now? 163 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: What's the new indgame over? 164 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 3: I am looking it up as we speak. 165 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: Seven. That would be entertaining, no question about. Let's say 166 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: we are currently at well, actually it's not even on 167 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: my board. 168 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 3: And that's how bad. 169 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: They just decided we're done with this. They will, let 170 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 1: you bet it, they will. So again, we'll have more 171 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: in this game. Hopefully it gets better for all of us. 172 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: Hopefully this gets better. But big news today in the 173 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: NFL we got Jason locking Forest up and by in 174 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: about twelve minutes. With more on this, but the Giants 175 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 1: fire Brian Dable after blowing their lead to the Bears yesterday. 176 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 1: The Bears come from behind. It We'll have big stuff 177 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: on Caleb Williams. We got a great hot take on 178 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams coming up a little bit. But Dable gets fired. 179 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: The Giants blow a ten point lead in the fourth quarter. 180 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: It's the fourth fourth quarter lead they have blown. We 181 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: watched the Bears come from behind to win twenty four 182 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: to twenty and quite honestly, I feel pretty pretty solid 183 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: saying this. If Brian Dabele could have done it over again, 184 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: he would have gone for the touchdown on fourth and 185 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: one from the half yard line instead of kicking a 186 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: field goal to give themselves a twenty to ten lead 187 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: in the fourth court. Probably a pretty fair bet right there. 188 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: Now here's the thing is that Dable got fired for 189 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. Right The team never got past 190 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: the promise that they had three and a half years ago. 191 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,599 Speaker 1: When Daniel Jones had a really good last couple of 192 00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: years and Dable gets the Giants to the playoffs, You're thinking, Okay, 193 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 1: they got it going on and Barkley's going to be 194 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: back healthy. But they never got there. And it's not 195 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: like they didn't bring in new people, try new philosophies 196 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: and looks it's not his fault. The malice neighbors is hurt, 197 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: not his fault. The camp Scatibo got hurt. But the 198 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 1: Giants had seen enough of Brian dabele led teams blowing games, 199 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 1: and what really came to a head. Quite honestly, you 200 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: could say it's not about that one play. It kind 201 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 1: of is right, because look, they had chances later on 202 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: in the game they could have they could have held on, 203 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: but you know they shanke a twenty six yard punt. 204 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: You know there's other things, but it all goes under 205 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: the umbrella of being the head coach. But when you're 206 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: two and seven and you have a chance to go 207 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: up two touchdowns, you have fourth and goal and you 208 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: kick a field goal to go up to okay, I 209 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: get it. But then you get a penalty that puts 210 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: the ball in the half yard line, and Brian Dables 211 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 1: still decided I'm gonna take the points. I'm not gonna 212 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: go for it to go up ten points here and 213 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: in a vacuum and in a season where maybe you're 214 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: five hundred, or you're six and four or you're seven 215 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: and three. Okay, with the team successful, he's made a 216 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: lot of good decisions. He's trusting his defense, right, that's 217 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: the real But when you're two and seven, it's why 218 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: are you not going for it? You're on the half 219 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 1: yard line. You can't get a half yard? I get, 220 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: you don't have scatterbo I get, but I get and 221 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: I get your down, you know, and Jackson Darta gotten 222 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: hurt too. I understand that. But you're on the half 223 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: yard line. You should be able to get a half 224 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: yard and if you don't get it, you don't get it. 225 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: It's not like it's gonna crush. You're two and seven. 226 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter like that. That was the decision. That 227 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 1: was the final straw that told the Giants, if we 228 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: lose this game, he's gone because nothing has gotten better 229 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,439 Speaker 1: and it's been a hole. It's like a big hamster 230 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 1: wheel that they've had. We're just running in place and 231 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: hoping that things are going to change. But that moment, 232 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: that was it simply because of the way the season 233 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: is going. It's I know it's elementary to say, well, 234 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: we're two and seven, what doesn't matter, but no, but 235 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: really that's it. It's two and seven. What does it matter? 236 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: Go for it, go up two touchdowns. If you don't 237 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: get it, all right, you went for it. You couldn't 238 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: do it. You shrug your shoulders. Okay, that's fine, I mean, 239 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: but the fact that they went scared at that point 240 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: that helped give the Bears a lot of momentum, telling them, okay, 241 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: you know what, Oh the Giants they're not really they're 242 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: really convinced. They've been working us for three quarters, but 243 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 1: they're not convinced they can they can close this thing out, 244 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 1: and that lets them back up off the mat, and 245 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: who knows what the Bears would have won, because you know, 246 00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: at twenty four, maybe the Giants could have gone would 247 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 1: have you know, it's twenty four to twenty four at 248 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: that point, maybe, and they're going to overtime. But the 249 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: fact that he goes and gives you such a timid 250 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: response when you're two and seven and you're on the 251 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: half yard line, that's where the Giants and Joe, Shane 252 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: and Mark they said, this guy's not our guy anymore, 253 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: and we're sick of the blown leads, we're sick of everything. 254 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 1: This is the final straw. If he had done it differently, 255 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: maybe he's still the Giants head coach day. But he didn't, 256 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: and that really was it. You can't but know that 257 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 1: was the one thing that said, well, we're thinking, we're 258 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: thinking about okay, now we just have to do it well. 259 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: And you have a guy in the building, and you know, 260 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: the shameless Northwestern plug for Mike Kafka getting promoted. But 261 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: he's a guy that's been a finalist at least the 262 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: last two cycles in terms of potential head coaches. So 263 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: he gets nearly a half season to see what he 264 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: can do. Does he have any killer in steaking and 265 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,959 Speaker 1: fight in him, which clearly Brian Dable had that taken 266 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000 Speaker 1: out of him the last couple of weeks. I mean 267 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 1: the percentage chances. I mean you're looking at win probabilities 268 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: of ninety six, ninety eight, ninety two whatever. I saw 269 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,640 Speaker 1: one place taking the odds of them losing all three 270 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: of those games like one in sixty thousand. So you 271 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: scratch out lottery numbers. Whether that's fuzzy math or not, 272 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: I thought it was entertaining. I wasn't going to break 273 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 1: out the calculator for it, but you get the point. 274 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: These are almost games that are in the cooler, as 275 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: they say. But for Brian Dable, you know, you talk 276 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 1: about the recklessness to a degree of how things have 277 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: been handled with Jackson Dart probably didn't play well with 278 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 1: Mara and ownership as much as you know that guy 279 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 1: plays with his hair on fire. How many times he 280 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: been in a tent four five. You had that big 281 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: controversy of trying to cajole him out of the tent 282 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago where they got fined and 283 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: it was just a terrible look for the NFL, and 284 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: you know, one that gets picked up into all the 285 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 1: non sports shows of hey, they talk safety, Look what 286 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,560 Speaker 1: they did to this guy. So like, it's just been 287 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: a convergence of a million bad stories and here where 288 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 1: you have a chance to kill what was the surging 289 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: Chicago story, right, that whole narrative and at least put 290 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: people at at ease for a moment of all right, 291 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: there's still some fight in this squad. You let them 292 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 1: off the hook. You want Dennis green Man, you let 293 00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: them off the hook. And that's why you're gonna be 294 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: an offensive coordator somewhere for next year. That's what's gonna happen. 295 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: There's Brian Dable like like how McDermott was frosty when 296 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: asked about it. 297 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 3: I think we're. 298 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: Okay, exit up about a Fresca exit swollen dump. Sometimes 299 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: it's that one bad decision that will get you fired. 300 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: Getting a new job can be much easier with Express 301 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 1: Employment Professionals.

What? 365 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: What do you make of this now that you've had 366 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:46,480 Speaker 1: a few hours to digest it? 367 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, I run in the Washington Post 368 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 2: based on what I was here and he was pretty 369 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 2: much cooked after the Denver game. You lose game like that, 370 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,119 Speaker 2: you know, on top of a couple of years, is 371 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 2: a pretty much object failure and losing, uh, somebody's gonna 372 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 2: eat it. And Mary's old school. You know, he thinks 373 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 2: he needs his GM to get him through the season, 374 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 2: which is kind of ridiculous. But yeah, and then you 375 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 2: keep bowling games in the fourth quarter and the quarterback 376 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 2: keeps being in the medical tent, and you know you've 377 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 2: got caught teering in the medical tent a few weeks 378 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 2: back when you had no business being there. There's just 379 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 2: I mean, but the optics are bad, the you know, 380 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 2: you got neighbors who you got hurt, you got Scryborrow hurt. Nothing, 381 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 2: that's all in the head coach, But you've got a 382 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 2: lot of frustration nunning there, and you've got another lost 383 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,720 Speaker 2: season taking hold well before Thanksgiving. So no, I'm not 384 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:55,120 Speaker 2: surprised that this was somebody who came into the year 385 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 2: with his job very much on the line. And there's 386 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:02,119 Speaker 2: been some good things there for sure with the quarterback. 387 00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 2: But you know, everybody's going to want to work with 388 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 2: that quarterback now, like they're gonna have plenty of people 389 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 2: who will look at that job as being more attractive 390 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: now that it's been in some previous cycles, specifically because 391 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 2: of that quarterback, and the quarterback looks pretty well developed now. 392 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 2: I don't think the idea of like Brian Gables the 393 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 2: only guy could get that and like stop. 394 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I Jay. That's the whole thing is that I 395 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,199 Speaker 1: think this is already no matter what, we see the 396 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: most attractive job of the season offseason cycle because of 397 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: Dart and Scataboo and Neighbors comes back next year. In 398 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,000 Speaker 1: the defensive line, it's hey, I'm in a position to succeed. 399 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: I think you might see guys that's good that have 400 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 1: gigs now say hey, wait a minute, I would leave. 401 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: I want to go to the giants. What are some 402 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: names you wouldn't be surprised to hear, you know for 403 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 1: giants when when they start looking full time, unless you 404 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: know Mike Kafka reels off like seven. 405 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 2: Wins in a row, Well yeah, that's not gonna happen. 406 00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 2: I mean love this. We turns through these guys so quickly. 407 00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know who people would be super 408 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: fired up about right now. I don't know, you know, 409 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 2: like the hot coordinator thing, Like I feel like we've 410 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 2: kind of exalted in the they think, you know, the 411 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 2: very Sautle call him going, uh, you know, Zach Robinson 412 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 2: can't do anything in an oct with Atlanta, Like, I 413 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 2: don't know who the next guy up there would be 414 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 2: the group of guys who have been fired already and 415 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 2: are going to be fired. I don't see them getting 416 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 2: another chance, like Mike McCarthy. Like you look in the 417 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 2: gambling odds, I mean, Jason Garrett and Mike McCarthy are there, 418 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 2: Like really, what the hell? I mean? Look, does it 419 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,360 Speaker 2: get bad in Pittsburgh? You know, Like is that the end? 420 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 2: I mean, I would think they would be Mike Tomlin 421 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 2: in New York. That would seem to be a perfect match. 422 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 2: Now again, we'll have to see how that plays out there, 423 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 2: and a lot of things would have to come to pass. 424 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 2: But like if you're asking me, people who could maybe 425 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 2: be out there, who might interest them. But I mean 426 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 2: if people talk about Cliff can stop, come on man, 427 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,159 Speaker 2: like Ben mcado three point zero, Like, I don't know, guys, 428 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. There's a pretty good chance if Mara 429 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 2: hires him, he'll stink. That's what I do know. 430 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: There you have it. 431 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,200 Speaker 1: I've seen the Lane Kiffin battle, not just for the 432 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: college range, but potentially for this one as well. His 433 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: name's been bandied about, but since you mentioned Mike Tomlin, 434 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: other than this Monday night football game, that Pittsburgh effort, 435 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: other than a bad pass to DK Metcalf that had 436 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: hope for until it left Roger's hand, was about as 437 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 1: dismal an effort as you see. 438 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 2: I mean, look, he's on his last legs. I mean, 439 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 2: he's basically cooked. And to think that now the weather 440 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 2: is starting to turn right and the schedules ranked up 441 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:58,000 Speaker 2: and the deadlines pass. So it is what it is. 442 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 2: It's still players are still players. I think he's gonna 443 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 2: bring out the worst in him. It still got a 444 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 2: lot of division games to come, and people in this 445 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 2: division can play a little defense outside of you know, Cincinnati, 446 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 2: and Cincinnati still already found a way to be one 447 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 2: point or whatever better than them last time. So you know, 448 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 2: I think you're going to see the frustration boil over 449 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 2: you already have. I just don't you know, I don't 450 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 2: think he's someone at this stage of his career who 451 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 2: you could remotely think is going to get better as 452 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 2: the season goes on, and you need to stack wins early. 453 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 2: You need to get him confident, you need to be 454 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 2: able to incubate him. They can't play from behind at 455 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 2: all like that. That's if they can get thirty five 456 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 2: to forty run plays off some way, somehow the script 457 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 2: allows that, and the defense is creating turnovers on that day, 458 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 2: then they can win. But that's a tough needle to 459 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 2: threat and you're not going to be able to come 460 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 2: back on anybody with this guy who's your quarterback at 461 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 2: this stage of his career. You're just not. I mean, 462 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 2: the only time he wants to push the ball down 463 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 2: the field is when it's a hill Mary against the 464 00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 2: free man rush. 465 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:04,200 Speaker 1: But that's it, Jay, When it comes to that division. Now, 466 00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: obviously the Ravens are back in the mix. You're there 467 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: in Baltimore. The defense seems like they magically fixed itself 468 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Again, what what what? What 469 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 1: has happened? I mean, really, as bad as it was 470 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: to begin with, I thought the season was over after 471 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: Week one, and now look at where they are now. 472 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: I'm knocking on the door at the top of the 473 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 1: division like like, like, what's happened outside of Lamar coming back, 474 00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: Like what's happened? Because you know he's not making the 475 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: defense better. 476 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 2: Well, before we go crazy, Calele Williams far and away. Okay, 477 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 2: they faced Stafford. They ended up giving up seventeen there, 478 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 2: you know, the Rams were about to fly the long 479 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 2: dan like that game was over at seventeen to three. 480 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 2: You know, like Cooper Rush wasn't going to move the 481 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,959 Speaker 2: ball at all. So if you want to give him 482 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 2: credit for that, like, okay, you know Adams dropped a 483 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 2: couple of touchdown passes, hurt his ankle really early in 484 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 2: the game, But like go look at who they play. 485 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:06,880 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, like Bailible, you know, with JJ McCarthy, 486 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 2: I mean, he can't throw the ball past the line 487 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 2: of scrimmage. Like they're going to get Dylan Gabriel last week, 488 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 2: then they're going to get whether it's Taylor or Field 489 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 2: they got. You know, I think that shot a whole 490 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 2: lot to do with it. They don't really have a 491 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 2: pass rush. They've got good secondary, and they haven't really 492 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 2: been attacked with running backs and tight ends lately in 493 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 2: the past game. But I still think they're really vulnerable 494 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 2: to that. But they can get three safeties on the 495 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,399 Speaker 2: field now with the Gilman trade with the Chargers, and 496 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 2: that allows them to keep Kyler Hamilton around the line 497 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 2: of scrimmage where he needs to be, and that's helping 498 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 2: the pass rush, that's helping the blitz, and that's helping 499 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 2: them knock down balls to the line of scrimmage, which 500 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 2: is really what's going on. Even more so than than 501 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 2: sacks and pressures, they've been able to disrupt the ball 502 00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 2: in flight coming out of the quarterback's hands. So and 503 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 2: again like they're not a lot of things have booked 504 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,159 Speaker 2: their way in terms of who they're facing and the 505 00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 2: way this schedule works, and they're going to continue to 506 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 2: feast for a couple more weeks and we'll see. I mean, 507 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 2: they do this every year, like even did this under McDonald. 508 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,919 Speaker 2: As good as us call them plays, they start slow, 509 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 2: they have to make some personnel adjustments, some scheme adjustments, 510 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 2: and then they'd be much better in the second half. 511 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 2: And that's certainly the case right now. 512 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: Currently minus two fifty to win the division implies a 513 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: seventy one and a half percent Pittsburgh at plus two fifty. 514 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: But now Joe Burrow is going to return plus eighteen 515 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: hundred too little, too late? 516 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 3: Are just are they just talking about wishing and hoping here? 517 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: Jay? 518 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think we're going to say until you know, 519 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 2: closer to mid mid December. But if we even see 520 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,160 Speaker 2: him at all, because they lose three more games where 521 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 2: he comes back, what did you really bring it him 522 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 2: back for? I mean, what what is a risk reward there? 523 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 2: And that would be like the leading leaving Jayden Daniels 524 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 2: in the game the other day on steroids like that 525 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 2: would be doing that on crack. You know, we've got 526 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 2: no offensive line, we can't stop anybody defensively. Let's let 527 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow for you know, Let's let Joe Burrow come 528 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,360 Speaker 2: out there, rusty in a lost, lost season and through 529 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 2: the ball fifty five times a game while Zach Tellen 530 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 2: tries to save his job. But I dare him, I 531 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 2: dare you to do that. I dare you. 532 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: So, Jay, when it comes to it, when it comes 533 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: to this division now okay, because it's not now it's 534 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: gone from boy, it's so bad, it's fun. If I 535 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: said to you, what's the big thing? What do you 536 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: expect end of the year? Who winds up at the 537 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: top of this division. 538 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:51,400 Speaker 2: I mean I think it's Baltimore. I mean they still 539 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 2: have five division games to play, including two with Pittsburgh. 540 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 2: They play Cincinnati twice in a three weeks span. Now 541 00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 2: isn't going to be Burrow for one of those games 542 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 2: as a Flaco for both? I don't know, but yeah, 543 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 2: I mean it sets up pretty well for Baltimore. But 544 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 2: like Pittsburgh, I mean, they're never It's like it's never 545 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 2: over till it's over. I mean Tomains never had a 546 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 2: loser season. If you look at their schedule, you could 547 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 2: play the win lost win win lost game. But like 548 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 2: they'll probably beat Buffalo, you know, now, they also lose 549 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 2: to Cleveland. Like I I don't know, but I mean 550 00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 2: Baltimore's closed the gap enough to now where I think 551 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 2: a reasonable person would have to say the Ravens are 552 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 2: gonna win this division. 553 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Jason lock and four that is 554 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: at Jason lock and for a wanna bet Odyssey Washington 555 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: Post one oh five seven the fan in Baltimore. Jay 556 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: is always buddy, appreciate it. Hope you get more points 557 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, so at least you didn't miss 558 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:52,879 Speaker 1: anything while you're talking to us. 559 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 2: Everything is still the same about holding my breath. 560 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: There goes Jason lock In four or I mean, look, 561 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,159 Speaker 1: this is this is one of those situations where you know, 562 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago it was the Ravens can't come 563 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,959 Speaker 1: back here. But remember when we tell you the Steelers stink, 564 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 1: well the division as a whole. As much as I 565 00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: love Joe Flacco, yes, the Browns off to the Jets. 566 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 1: That right now, if Burrow comes back Thanksgiving, I'm thinking, oh, 567 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: maybe you never know. That's it, flood. 568 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 3: But man, they're eighteen to one. Vision is eighteen to one. 569 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 3: If you want to go down that. 570 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,159 Speaker 1: Path, we bad. It's bad, man, it's bad. But no, 571 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:31,719 Speaker 1: it's awful, right Cleveland. Cleveland's terrible. I mean, did you 572 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: actually want to win this game? I mean, that's that's 573 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,040 Speaker 1: the hard part. And you find because of the trade 574 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: already got you some picks. Yeah, I was fine when 575 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: because no matter who the if the Jets pick a quarterback, 576 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: whoever it is, it's going to be wrong. So I'd 577 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,960 Speaker 1: rather almost them the pick be a little bit lower, 578 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,520 Speaker 1: so we get like Caleb Downs. You know, maybe that'll 579 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,760 Speaker 1: work and uh, and that'll be better because if we 580 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 1: pick a quarterback whoever we pick is wrong. So I 581 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 1: was absolutely okay. 582 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 3: Until he gets to three teams for separation. 583 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, okay, Yeah, I'm completely but yeah, by odds, 584 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 1: they're seventy two percent favorites the Ravens to win the 585 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: division at this point.

Well, I mean we rank them, 676 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: uh one through two seventy two. I mean, by the 677 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 1: end of the year, you had one, we had what 678 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: we said last year, this one's two seventy You had 679 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,160 Speaker 1: won it like two seventy now that's right now, this 680 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: one's a like two seventy one. Well, but I mean 681 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,440 Speaker 1: it might be ratcheting up here in the final minutes. 682 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: I mean, as long as, like we said, as long 683 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: as it's close late yep up. Jason, I don't know 684 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 1: if there is a list. If there is one, it's 685 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: a lot of Jets games here. Oh no, it's true. Yeah, yeah, 686 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 1: you see that list, like eight of the ten games 687 00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: involved Jets teams. But we do want it to be 688 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,560 Speaker 1: close late. It looks like that might be the case. 689 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,280 Speaker 1: Jacobs is in the end zone for the Packers their 690 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,799 Speaker 1: first score of the night, extra point pending, so now 691 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: it will likely be ten to seven late in the 692 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, five and a half to go. Ooh, we 693 00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 1: got points. Well, I mean he's well over all hundred 694 00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: total yards on the night. Now the touchdown, So for 695 00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: fantasy purposes, you got that floor that you hit and 696 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: crash through that. Now let's see what we've got for 697 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 1: this final five to forty nine. All right, So we 698 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: got more exciting stuff coming up in a minute. But first, 699 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 1: the play of the day. The play of the day, 700 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: of course, is brought to you by ti raqantiraq dot 701 00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:48,080 Speaker 1: com for over forty years. I think that's the last 702 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 1: time the Packers wout a touchdown for for forty years, 703 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,279 Speaker 1: Tirack's been up and customers find the right tires for how, 704 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,200 Speaker 1: what and where they drive, shipped fast and free backed 705 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: by free Road, has protection with convenient installation options like 706 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 1: mobile fire installation. Tirerack dot Com is the way tire 707 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: buying should be. Well, when you have a night where 708 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: you score thirty eight points, you would think that would 709 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,280 Speaker 1: be it, but no, it's the hoop that didn't count 710 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,359 Speaker 1: for Luka Doncic. That's the play of the day. 711 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:25,399 Speaker 4: Another rebounds for his sixth terrible. The Lakers call time out. 712 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,840 Speaker 4: Donc fired it just because he's an inner painter. 713 00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,280 Speaker 1: Horne and Stevie on the call. Doncich fires it from 714 00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:35,720 Speaker 1: the Lakers free throw line. I mean it doesn't count. 715 00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: But a night where he had thirty eight, he just 716 00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: chucks it up from the Lakers free throw line and 717 00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 1: he swishes it for a three that didn't count. Doesn't matter, 718 00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. That's the play of the day. Do 719 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,840 Speaker 1: I get to call for like a controversial thing the 720 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 1: next time he misses an actual shot? Then what the hell? 721 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:52,279 Speaker 2: Man? 722 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 3: No, man, you get hit that one without thinking about it. 723 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,399 Speaker 1: You respect the MVP? Yeah? No respect that. Hey and listen, 724 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:00,719 Speaker 1: I'm looking. I'm excited to see when On James plays 725 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,600 Speaker 1: with the South Bay Lakers as it's come back all. 726 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:04,759 Speaker 3: How great would that be. 727 00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 1: It's kind of like the minor league rehab States where 728 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,960 Speaker 1: the guy's gotta buy lobster and state for all the 729 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: guys that get nothing and Bro, you the minor leaguers, 730 00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 1: what are you doing? You're on the bus, let's go. 731 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: And Bronny's like, Dad, I'm with the Lakers. You're playing 732 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 1: South Bay to my dad, Dad, just good luck Dad. 733 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:22,280 Speaker 1: He's gonna cater Blaze pizza. Good luck Dad, that pizza 734 00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: ain't showing up, just like he didn't. Again. It's gonna 735 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: be so awkward when lebron does return to the Lakers. 736 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:33,040 Speaker 1: But how about this, You want to hot take NFL MVP? Okay, 737 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: got one for you. Drake may is near the top. Oh, 738 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 1: he's at the top right now. No matter where you look, 739 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 1: he's anywhere from first to second as the favorites. Matthew 740 00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,719 Speaker 1: Stafford also getting a lot of run. When you throw 741 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,759 Speaker 1: four touchdowns a week for like nine weeks in a row, 742 00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna get run as MVP. But I'm going to 743 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:52,840 Speaker 1: give you somebody else because I want to push the 744 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,680 Speaker 1: conversation forward because early on in the season, we told 745 00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:58,960 Speaker 1: you everything was gonna be fine with this guy. It's 746 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,000 Speaker 1: the era of good feet and just got to sit 747 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: back and let things bake. Jonathan Taylor, right, but oh, 748 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,839 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor's terrific. Fantasy owners really upset because they're by 749 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 1: a bye this week, like no, no. However, Stafford is great, 750 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: Drake may has played fantastic. But how about Caleb Williams MVP? 751 00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,319 Speaker 1: Think about it, right, come on, come on now. His 752 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: numbers are fine, you're taking me down a deep dark path. 753 00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,880 Speaker 1: Numbers are fine, But the MVP isn't always about the numbers. 754 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,040 Speaker 1: Sometimes it is, but the fact that the Bears are 755 00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 1: succeeding is a storyline that cuts through. We've watched Caleb 756 00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:41,640 Speaker 1: Williams now win four last minute games by dicing up 757 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:45,319 Speaker 1: the defense in a myriad of ways. Sometimes it's I'm 758 00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:48,560 Speaker 1: finding the right receiver on my first read. Sometimes it's 759 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:51,000 Speaker 1: finding the right guy and a check down. Sometimes it's 760 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,359 Speaker 1: scrambling for a first down. Four not four comeback wins 761 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,720 Speaker 1: where oh we were down seven to six early four 762 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,239 Speaker 1: last minute wins where he has rescued the Bears because 763 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: at the end of games he's playing incredibly clutch. That's 764 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,960 Speaker 1: a big number you're talking about. Half their wins was 765 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 1: at the end. Ken Now they're calling a unicorn now, 766 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, really, Caleb Williams has been that good. 767 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,040 Speaker 1: He has been someone that he's smart with the football, 768 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: he's finding the right weapons. We told you he's going 769 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:19,799 Speaker 1: to be a star, and now people are coming around 770 00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,799 Speaker 1: to that. Oh I always said, Caleb, But yeah, yeah, 771 00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: that's great. 772 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:22,439 Speaker 2: Yeah. 773 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:24,200 Speaker 1: Listen, Remember this is why we call the show ahead 774 00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,239 Speaker 1: of the curve, because you're ahead of the curve. Now 775 00:38:26,239 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 1: he's even better than he was. Chicago is not nearly 776 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:31,879 Speaker 1: six and three without him. If you love Drake May 777 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,400 Speaker 1: for MVP, right, and I'm okay with that. If you 778 00:38:34,400 --> 00:38:36,719 Speaker 1: want to love Drake May for MVP, you gotta love 779 00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,920 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams more because he's pulling out games at the end. 780 00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: He's winning games by himself. I can't tell you a 781 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: lot of games Drake May is won by himself. He 782 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,320 Speaker 1: has played terrific. But I can point again four to 783 00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:50,200 Speaker 1: six wins where Caleb Williams just turns to a different 784 00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 1: guy at the end. And in a year where not 785 00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,520 Speaker 1: everybody is running crazy with stats, you don't have a 786 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,319 Speaker 1: quarterback with thirty touchdowns at this point. Mahomes is not 787 00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,799 Speaker 1: having that year, Caleb Williams. Think about that and what 788 00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,560 Speaker 1: he's accomplished. It's a hot take, it's really not that hot. 789 00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:06,759 Speaker 3: I'll tell you how he can win it. 790 00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: Like this is where we really kick this down the 791 00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:12,360 Speaker 1: road is the fact that the Bears going forward have 792 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:17,080 Speaker 1: the toughest strength of schedule remaining in the National Football League. 793 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,399 Speaker 1: When you look at their quote easy opponents, You've got 794 00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,400 Speaker 1: the Vikings are listed as an easy opponent, with his 795 00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:27,920 Speaker 1: classmate JJ McCarthy leading the way, and then the Cleveland Browns. Otherwise, 796 00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:31,480 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh still on the plus side, right, havn't fallen off altogether. 797 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:35,680 Speaker 1: San Francisco reeling, but still they had a little fighting 798 00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: him before they acquiesced. On Sunday, you got the Lions 799 00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 1: two against the Packers and a game against Philadelphia currently 800 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,320 Speaker 1: ten to seven as we are talking here at the 801 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 1: end of the hour one. But you look at what 802 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 1: Williams has done starting to push the ball downfield last 803 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: year was really good with the touchdown to interception ratio, 804 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,400 Speaker 1: but it was all a shot chart between five yards 805 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 1: ahead of the line, scrimmage in five yards behind it. 806 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 1: Not a lot of pushing the ball downfield, a lot 807 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 1: of sacks that he absorbed this year learning to play 808 00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 1: coming into the week, was tied for second with the 809 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: most snaps in play action something Ben Johnson wanted to do. 810 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 1: What's he doing. He's seeing the field better, making better decisions, 811 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 1: not taking sacks and advancing the ball. Now, have they 812 00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 1: had some great circumstances where it rolled up? Sure, Brian 813 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,320 Speaker 1: Dable was goward, he got fired. You had the Cincinnati 814 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:32,120 Speaker 1: Bengals three guys pinball off Loveland as he runs towards 815 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,239 Speaker 1: the end zone. All of those things. You know what, 816 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 1: the box scores all read the same. And where he 817 00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:39,839 Speaker 1: can take over for Drake may here in terms of 818 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: that favorite right he's at plus three hundred is the 819 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,120 Speaker 1: fact that they've got the easiest strength of schedule remaking, 820 00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,440 Speaker 1: so they're gonna pack it stack up wins. But if 821 00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,960 Speaker 1: Caleb is able to do more of the same that 822 00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,040 Speaker 1: he's done these last couple weeks, it's going to be 823 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,240 Speaker 1: a bigger and more impressive show. And in Chicago, Caleb 824 00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:59,240 Speaker 1: Williams NFL MVP. Just think about that for a second. 825 00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: That's just crazy. How about coming up next well off 826 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,640 Speaker 1: more and Monday Night Football, and how about the right 827 00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 1: guy to replace Brian Dable in New York. 828 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:07,719 Speaker 3: Sell Sell, sell
