Speaker 3: Peter Schrager, Kyle Brandt, Jason mccordy, and you know what,

10
00:00:45,588 --> 00:00:49,188
Speaker 3: the game last night wasn't actually as bad as I

11
00:00:49,268 --> 00:00:51,068
Speaker 3: thought it was going to be. It was kind of

12
00:00:51,108 --> 00:00:53,428
Speaker 3: like a fun, very surprising game.

13
00:00:53,468 --> 00:00:54,188
Speaker 4: We'll get into that.

14
00:00:54,828 --> 00:00:58,548
Speaker 3: Also, I went to Bryant Park last night. That was

15
00:00:58,588 --> 00:01:01,348
Speaker 3: a nice Christmasy thing to do in New York. I

16
00:01:01,348 --> 00:01:02,908
Speaker 3: didn't get your suggestions, guys.

17
00:01:02,948 --> 00:01:03,668
Speaker 4: I've been waiting.

18
00:01:03,828 --> 00:01:06,508
Speaker 1: So I made a prediction about you today in our

19
00:01:06,548 --> 00:01:08,988
Speaker 1: lockbox segment. We did. I'm sure, yes, I really did

20
00:01:09,268 --> 00:01:11,828
Speaker 1: what we predicted yesterday what the scorer was going to

21
00:01:11,908 --> 00:01:13,908
Speaker 1: be of Steelers Patriots.

22
00:01:14,148 --> 00:01:14,788
Speaker 2: We'll see how.

23
00:01:14,708 --> 00:01:16,508
Speaker 1: Who did well. But I had a calling one as well.

24
00:01:16,628 --> 00:01:17,668
Speaker 1: I don't think my right, Collean.

25
00:01:17,748 --> 00:01:20,548
Speaker 5: The Brian Park is the home of many a Hallmark

26
00:01:20,628 --> 00:01:22,628
Speaker 5: movie in Christmas is romantic, it's lovely.

27
00:01:22,628 --> 00:01:24,708
Speaker 2: There's a skating rink. What did you do there? Oh?

28
00:01:24,708 --> 00:01:27,508
Speaker 3: I bought a Christmas ordament. I had some hot chocolate.

29
00:01:27,588 --> 00:01:30,908
Speaker 3: I mean, I've just been having like a lovely time, Alex.

30
00:01:30,988 --> 00:01:33,028
Speaker 1: Good place to dull the pain there is because I

31
00:01:33,068 --> 00:01:36,948
Speaker 1: remember if you need to back to the pharmacy as

32
00:01:36,948 --> 00:01:42,148
Speaker 1: far as I remember. All right, let's go to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

33
00:01:42,268 --> 00:01:43,348
Speaker 2: So this is massive.

34
00:01:43,428 --> 00:01:45,548
Speaker 1: The Patriots get to win, sure, but the Steelers now

35
00:01:45,748 --> 00:01:49,948
Speaker 1: seven and six and struggling. Let's go to an iridescent

36
00:01:50,428 --> 00:01:52,308
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin and make it Fitzpatrick.

37
00:01:52,388 --> 00:01:57,148
Speaker 2: After another Steeler's loss, Where do you guys go from here?

38
00:01:57,188 --> 00:01:58,388
Speaker 4: What is the direction?

39
00:01:58,788 --> 00:02:01,748
Speaker 6: We get ready for our next opportunity next week. That's

40
00:02:01,788 --> 00:02:08,228
Speaker 6: what we all always do, obviously the things, but we'll

41
00:02:08,268 --> 00:02:08,948
Speaker 6: be back, Mike.

42
00:02:08,988 --> 00:02:11,068
Speaker 5: What gives you the context that you guys can be

43
00:02:11,108 --> 00:02:12,148
Speaker 5: back after to losses?

44
00:02:12,548 --> 00:02:15,708
Speaker 6: This is what we do, This is who we are.

45
00:02:16,388 --> 00:02:19,388
Speaker 7: In order to see fruit, you gotta toil for it.

46
00:02:19,788 --> 00:02:21,908
Speaker 7: I think too many people don't want to toil for it.

47
00:02:22,428 --> 00:02:23,948
Speaker 7: They just wanna walk out here and think that they

48
00:02:24,068 --> 00:02:27,308
Speaker 7: gonna make plays, and think that they're gonna perform at

49
00:02:27,308 --> 00:02:27,908
Speaker 7: a high level.

50
00:02:28,628 --> 00:02:31,068
Speaker 8: I think we need to have more people that want

51
00:02:31,068 --> 00:02:33,108
Speaker 8: to work for it and not expected to be handed

52
00:02:33,148 --> 00:02:34,748
Speaker 8: to because this is the NFL.

53
00:02:35,148 --> 00:02:36,908
Speaker 7: Nothing's handed to. You gotta earn everything.

54
00:02:37,588 --> 00:02:39,668
Speaker 8: And I think that you know, dudes just think that

55
00:02:39,708 --> 00:02:41,508
Speaker 8: because they're wearing a black and gold that they gonna

56
00:02:41,548 --> 00:02:42,068
Speaker 8: win games.

57
00:02:42,388 --> 00:02:43,988
Speaker 7: And I think we need to.

58
00:02:43,948 --> 00:02:46,588
Speaker 8: We need to check that mentality and make people realize

59
00:02:46,588 --> 00:02:49,468
Speaker 8: that they gotta earn that mentality and they gotta earn

60
00:02:49,508 --> 00:02:53,388
Speaker 8: every single blade of grass and every single splash play

61
00:02:53,428 --> 00:02:55,468
Speaker 8: and every single rep.

62
00:02:55,308 --> 00:02:56,388
Speaker 5: That they get out there.

63
00:02:56,108 --> 00:02:57,108
Speaker 7: They gotta earn it.

64
00:02:59,948 --> 00:03:02,188
Speaker 5: Let's look at the AFC playoff picture as we head

65
00:03:02,188 --> 00:03:06,428
Speaker 5: into this weekend. Now, Steelers bad loss, really bad loss.

66
00:03:06,428 --> 00:03:08,708
Speaker 5: They go from being in the wild card race and

67
00:03:08,828 --> 00:03:12,188
Speaker 5: in that playoff position to now the lurking column. And

68
00:03:12,228 --> 00:03:15,068
Speaker 5: guess who gets back in the playoff picture. The Texans

69
00:03:15,148 --> 00:03:17,228
Speaker 5: right now are back in the playoff picture. They played

70
00:03:17,228 --> 00:03:19,548
Speaker 5: the Jets this weekend. It's almost like a good good

71
00:03:19,548 --> 00:03:22,748
Speaker 5: matchup for them. Of course, the Browns and the Ravens,

72
00:03:22,748 --> 00:03:25,188
Speaker 5: two other AFC North teams, are in and the Bengals

73
00:03:25,228 --> 00:03:27,388
Speaker 5: are right there on the outside coming off a win.

74
00:03:27,868 --> 00:03:30,548
Speaker 5: Really clouded picture after that one to two seat.

75
00:03:30,828 --> 00:03:31,868
Speaker 2: This is why it gets fun.

76
00:03:31,868 --> 00:03:33,228
Speaker 5: We've got a couple of weeks left to go in

77
00:03:33,268 --> 00:03:35,188
Speaker 5: the year and it's still anybody's ball game.

78
00:03:35,388 --> 00:03:37,468
Speaker 4: Four more games for these teams.

79
00:03:37,468 --> 00:03:39,948
Speaker 3: But for the Steelers it is such a crunch time

80
00:03:40,028 --> 00:03:42,508
Speaker 3: they came out. I thought that they would be a

81
00:03:42,668 --> 00:03:46,308
Speaker 3: little bit I guess like crisper when they came out

82
00:03:46,348 --> 00:03:48,588
Speaker 3: in this game, coming off of the way that the

83
00:03:48,628 --> 00:03:52,148
Speaker 3: game ended against the Cardinals it was terrible. But instead

84
00:03:52,508 --> 00:03:55,588
Speaker 3: Bailey Zappi and the Patriots just marched right down the

85
00:03:55,588 --> 00:03:59,188
Speaker 3: field the opening drive touchdown. What was your thoughts on

86
00:03:59,388 --> 00:04:02,508
Speaker 3: how this game unfolded, especially that first half for Bailey

87
00:04:02,588 --> 00:04:03,308
Speaker 3: Zappy It was.

88
00:04:03,268 --> 00:04:05,828
Speaker 9: Almost like the teams were flipped. Like the New England

89
00:04:05,868 --> 00:04:08,068
Speaker 9: Patriots looked like a team fighting to stay in the

90
00:04:08,108 --> 00:04:10,708
Speaker 9: playoffs and to continu to keep going and try to

91
00:04:10,748 --> 00:04:13,668
Speaker 9: get as far in as they could wild Card moving up.

92
00:04:13,868 --> 00:04:15,908
Speaker 9: The Steelers looked like the team that was two and ten,

93
00:04:16,068 --> 00:04:18,748
Speaker 9: which was very surprising coming off the loss to a

94
00:04:18,788 --> 00:04:20,308
Speaker 9: two and team. It was the first time in NFL

95
00:04:20,388 --> 00:04:23,428
Speaker 9: history team above five hundred loses to two teams back

96
00:04:23,468 --> 00:04:23,828
Speaker 9: to back.

97
00:04:24,068 --> 00:04:26,228
Speaker 1: That are eight games of below five hundred.

98
00:04:26,468 --> 00:04:28,348
Speaker 9: But the Steelers there were a team and you heard

99
00:04:28,348 --> 00:04:31,308
Speaker 9: making Fitzpatricks' comments after the game, and he's talking about

100
00:04:31,348 --> 00:04:33,588
Speaker 9: what guys need to do and wearing the black and

101
00:04:33,668 --> 00:04:34,868
Speaker 9: yellow and what it means.

102
00:04:34,668 --> 00:04:36,788
Speaker 2: And all of that. But you look at them defensively.

103
00:04:36,788 --> 00:04:39,028
Speaker 9: They came out and Bailey Zappy, you just said to

104
00:04:39,068 --> 00:04:41,028
Speaker 9: Kyle they couldn't get the ball past the thirty. They

105
00:04:41,068 --> 00:04:42,708
Speaker 9: came out and went straight down the field, a big

106
00:04:42,748 --> 00:04:45,548
Speaker 9: play to Juju Smith Schuster. Then they're heading Hunter Henry

107
00:04:45,548 --> 00:04:47,668
Speaker 9: over the middle and it was opportunities. You look at

108
00:04:47,668 --> 00:04:50,628
Speaker 9: that last Hunter Henry touchdown and that should be intercepted.

109
00:04:50,708 --> 00:04:53,748
Speaker 9: Kazi's right there and doesn't make the play. So there's

110
00:04:53,748 --> 00:04:56,028
Speaker 9: so many question marks around this Steelers team. You heard

111
00:04:56,068 --> 00:04:59,548
Speaker 9: them chanting from Mason Rudolph in the first half, and

112
00:04:59,828 --> 00:05:01,748
Speaker 9: I said it when Kenny Pickett went down, they were

113
00:05:01,788 --> 00:05:03,828
Speaker 9: already in offense that were absolutely struggling.

114
00:05:04,588 --> 00:05:05,268
Speaker 2: Mitch Trubisky.

115
00:05:05,348 --> 00:05:08,068
Speaker 9: You can't expect this team to now take another step

116
00:05:08,108 --> 00:05:10,028
Speaker 9: when it comes to the offensive side of the ball.

117
00:05:10,228 --> 00:05:12,948
Speaker 9: But last night, the surprising thing to me was the defense.

118
00:05:13,228 --> 00:05:15,668
Speaker 9: The offense for the Pittsburgh Steelers just hasn't been good

119
00:05:15,788 --> 00:05:17,548
Speaker 9: and for them to allow New England to come down

120
00:05:17,588 --> 00:05:19,388
Speaker 9: the first half and kind of just set the tempo

121
00:05:19,628 --> 00:05:21,828
Speaker 9: and put up twenty one first half points when a

122
00:05:21,828 --> 00:05:23,468
Speaker 9: lot of us you're looking at the scoring. You heard

123
00:05:23,468 --> 00:05:25,628
Speaker 9: Al Michaels allude to it when it got to thirty

124
00:05:25,628 --> 00:05:28,308
Speaker 9: one points, Well, how goes everybody else's thoughts? You thought

125
00:05:28,348 --> 00:05:31,148
Speaker 9: this game was going to be under thirty. So very surprising.

126
00:05:31,228 --> 00:05:33,788
Speaker 9: This is the Steelers team that we expected, especially going

127
00:05:33,828 --> 00:05:35,508
Speaker 9: into the season. We had them in the playoffs and

128
00:05:35,548 --> 00:05:37,628
Speaker 9: just the way they've been trending. To see them play

129
00:05:37,708 --> 00:05:40,388
Speaker 9: last night and then the Cardinals game, very upsetting to

130
00:05:40,388 --> 00:05:42,748
Speaker 9: where they're trying to get to in this postseason.

131
00:05:42,308 --> 00:05:44,868
Speaker 1: Too, terrible back to back losses.

132
00:05:45,548 --> 00:05:47,908
Speaker 5: To lose to the Cardinals, a two win team in

133
00:05:47,948 --> 00:05:49,788
Speaker 5: your building on a Sunday, is like, all right, that's

134
00:05:49,788 --> 00:05:54,348
Speaker 5: gonna happen that one o'clock. It's a terrible all right, Well,

135
00:05:54,348 --> 00:05:56,068
Speaker 5: we have a short week, let's go back and let's

136
00:05:56,068 --> 00:05:57,548
Speaker 5: get right. Let's just get it out of the system.

137
00:05:57,708 --> 00:05:59,868
Speaker 5: And then to look even worse than the first half

138
00:06:00,068 --> 00:06:03,988
Speaker 5: against a Patriots team that, yes as well coach as

139
00:06:04,028 --> 00:06:06,308
Speaker 5: they might be, is coming in having been shut out

140
00:06:06,348 --> 00:06:09,788
Speaker 5: at home to the Los Angeles Chargers six to nothing.

141
00:06:09,908 --> 00:06:13,228
Speaker 5: Four days earlier, they're chanting Mason Rudolph.

142
00:06:13,348 --> 00:06:15,788
Speaker 1: Yeah, early, Yeah, Steelers.

143
00:06:16,188 --> 00:06:19,308
Speaker 5: They signed Trubisky and it's like they hadn't we know

144
00:06:19,348 --> 00:06:21,388
Speaker 5: what he is, Like, it's not And then they're chanting

145
00:06:21,388 --> 00:06:24,828
Speaker 5: for Mason Rudolph, chanting for Mason Rudolf. And then after

146
00:06:24,868 --> 00:06:26,908
Speaker 5: the game see some of the stuff. Just the analytics.

147
00:06:27,108 --> 00:06:30,348
Speaker 5: I'm not a huge next gen stats means everything.

148
00:06:30,468 --> 00:06:31,388
Speaker 2: George Pickens one.

149
00:06:31,268 --> 00:06:33,108
Speaker 5: Of the electric deep threats in the game, one of

150
00:06:33,148 --> 00:06:35,308
Speaker 5: the most electric receivers. Once against they hands the ball.

151
00:06:35,548 --> 00:06:38,228
Speaker 5: George Pickens has made all these big plays with Pickett

152
00:06:38,228 --> 00:06:41,628
Speaker 5: in the fourth quarter and has been non existent. It

153
00:06:41,708 --> 00:06:43,828
Speaker 5: was a knee Mick and Tomlin can say, it's what

154
00:06:43,868 --> 00:06:47,468
Speaker 5: we do. We're confident. They've already fired the offensive coordinator.

155
00:06:47,548 --> 00:06:49,228
Speaker 5: Now you've got this two headed monster that we did

156
00:06:49,268 --> 00:06:51,548
Speaker 5: flips about after they had four hundred yards in a game,

157
00:06:51,588 --> 00:06:52,908
Speaker 5: and we're like, all right, we got to fix They've

158
00:06:52,908 --> 00:06:55,228
Speaker 5: got an offensive coordinator. But there's another guy who draws

159
00:06:55,268 --> 00:06:56,828
Speaker 5: the plays up, another guy calls the plays.

160
00:06:57,588 --> 00:06:58,748
Speaker 2: Pickens look at him.

161
00:06:58,948 --> 00:07:03,108
Speaker 5: Just come on, you're a Steelers fan right now, you

162
00:07:03,108 --> 00:07:05,468
Speaker 5: could listen to it any way you want, Like the

163
00:07:05,468 --> 00:07:07,348
Speaker 5: offense is just not good enough to the games and

164
00:07:07,348 --> 00:07:08,588
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's gonna get fixed in the

165
00:07:08,588 --> 00:07:09,828
Speaker 5: final four weeks of the season.

166
00:07:10,148 --> 00:07:13,308
Speaker 1: It's not, and it's unbelievably bad. Here's how historically bad

167
00:07:13,308 --> 00:07:15,748
Speaker 1: it is. Teams that have winning records that have an

168
00:07:15,788 --> 00:07:18,108
Speaker 1: offense is this bad? And this is again after the

169
00:07:18,148 --> 00:07:23,428
Speaker 1: coordinator goes all time all time, Oh wow, sixteen point two.

170
00:07:24,308 --> 00:07:25,868
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm looking up that two two thousand and

171
00:07:25,868 --> 00:07:28,268
Speaker 1: five Bears teams, like Rex Grossman was hurt and Kyle

172
00:07:28,388 --> 00:07:29,868
Speaker 1: Orton is in, but Erlacker.

173
00:07:29,468 --> 00:07:30,068
Speaker 2: Was cracking skull.

174
00:07:30,188 --> 00:07:32,108
Speaker 1: So they still want like the Steelers are one of

175
00:07:32,108 --> 00:07:34,748
Speaker 1: the worst offenses ever on a team that matters, and

176
00:07:34,828 --> 00:07:40,428
Speaker 1: they're rapidly not mattering. Like I'm looking so directly at

177
00:07:40,468 --> 00:07:42,548
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin. Is that you can do like the cool

178
00:07:42,628 --> 00:07:44,388
Speaker 1: Tomlin tough guy act ever, and that's.

179
00:07:44,228 --> 00:07:45,348
Speaker 2: Who we are.

180
00:07:45,108 --> 00:07:47,988
Speaker 1: Your team captain is in the locker room saying that

181
00:07:48,028 --> 00:07:51,668
Speaker 1: people need to start working harder. The offense is terrible.

182
00:07:51,668 --> 00:07:54,148
Speaker 1: As Jason pointing out, the defense didn't show up. These

183
00:07:54,188 --> 00:07:56,588
Speaker 1: two last weeks I think were the worst two weeks

184
00:07:56,628 --> 00:07:59,028
Speaker 1: in Mike Tomlin's time. There like, this is that bad

185
00:07:59,308 --> 00:08:01,268
Speaker 1: and we're entering one of the biggest games that we've

186
00:08:01,308 --> 00:08:03,388
Speaker 1: seen the Steelers play in a couple of years against

187
00:08:03,388 --> 00:08:06,028
Speaker 1: the Colts next week. You have to win, and I

188
00:08:06,188 --> 00:08:08,308
Speaker 1: do that with Minkas saying the players. Do you just

189
00:08:08,348 --> 00:08:11,108
Speaker 1: see the Steelers and they're still stealing their way through this.

190
00:08:11,348 --> 00:08:14,268
Speaker 1: They're not like they're slowly giving this away. You can't

191
00:08:14,268 --> 00:08:14,908
Speaker 1: lose that game.

192
00:08:14,988 --> 00:08:15,348
Speaker 2: You can't.

193
00:08:15,548 --> 00:08:17,828
Speaker 1: I do have to say a couple things about the Patriots.

194
00:08:17,868 --> 00:08:20,348
Speaker 1: Holy crap, that was a great nights fun did you see?

195
00:08:20,468 --> 00:08:24,268
Speaker 1: I mean two old war horses. First of all, zeke zeke,

196
00:08:24,428 --> 00:08:27,748
Speaker 1: zeke Zeke. There is an interception that Bailey threw that

197
00:08:27,868 --> 00:08:29,428
Speaker 1: is an easy pick six for the series.

198
00:08:29,548 --> 00:08:31,788
Speaker 2: Watches Zek at the top of the screen just.

199
00:08:31,908 --> 00:08:34,628
Speaker 1: Booking, and that is a touchdown that is exactly what

200
00:08:34,628 --> 00:08:37,988
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh needed when their offense is terrible. Unbelievable play by

201
00:08:38,028 --> 00:08:41,108
Speaker 1: him like it it's look, it's not DK chasing down Buddha.

202
00:08:41,388 --> 00:08:44,228
Speaker 1: But it is all effort on a terrible team for

203
00:08:44,268 --> 00:08:45,748
Speaker 1: a guy who doesn't need to do that if he

204
00:08:45,748 --> 00:08:48,108
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like it's amazing. But I do have to

205
00:08:48,148 --> 00:08:51,028
Speaker 1: put this bow on it. Afterwards. There's this video of

206
00:08:51,068 --> 00:08:53,948
Speaker 1: Matthew Slater and in the locker room and our coach

207
00:08:53,988 --> 00:08:56,148
Speaker 1: isn't afraid of towels, and like, just this great thing.

208
00:08:56,628 --> 00:09:00,188
Speaker 1: I look on Instagram, the Patriots Instagram, okay, and it's

209
00:09:00,228 --> 00:09:03,428
Speaker 1: like final and the score and they're celebrating and the

210
00:09:03,428 --> 00:09:08,628
Speaker 1: caption is prime time dub you guys these comments. First comment,

211
00:09:09,468 --> 00:09:12,828
Speaker 1: why did we do that? Second comment, y'all don't even

212
00:09:12,868 --> 00:09:14,028
Speaker 1: know how to tank correctly.

213
00:09:14,348 --> 00:09:16,828
Speaker 2: I'm actually mad that we won. What the hell are

214
00:09:16,868 --> 00:09:17,428
Speaker 2: you guys doing?

215
00:09:17,468 --> 00:09:19,908
Speaker 1: And my favorite comment, watch us win our next few

216
00:09:19,948 --> 00:09:22,188
Speaker 1: games have no quarterback in the draft that have to

217
00:09:22,268 --> 00:09:24,348
Speaker 1: chase after Kirk Cousins instead, like that.

218
00:09:24,548 --> 00:09:25,828
Speaker 2: There's a weird thing. We all know.

219
00:09:25,868 --> 00:09:28,828
Speaker 1: Patriots fans are like, let's lose. It's working and this

220
00:09:28,868 --> 00:09:31,668
Speaker 1: is great. There's a thing amongst the New England fan

221
00:09:31,748 --> 00:09:34,028
Speaker 1: base that's like that was not good last night, guys.

222
00:09:34,028 --> 00:09:36,188
Speaker 1: We just blew our future. I don't know if that's

223
00:09:36,188 --> 00:09:39,668
Speaker 1: true or not. I'm more about like finish three and fourteen,

224
00:09:39,748 --> 00:09:42,268
Speaker 1: get a win in primetime. But there's some people who

225
00:09:42,268 --> 00:09:44,748
Speaker 1: are mad about it, and I see their take completely.

226
00:09:44,868 --> 00:09:45,468
Speaker 4: It's funny that.

227
00:09:45,428 --> 00:09:47,588
Speaker 3: You say that too, because I was thinking to myself.

228
00:09:47,668 --> 00:09:50,748
Speaker 3: It's almost like the Patriots are taking out all of

229
00:09:50,788 --> 00:09:54,348
Speaker 3: their frustration from the entire season on the Steelers in

230
00:09:54,428 --> 00:09:57,828
Speaker 3: this game, and it was like Ezekiel Elliott was finally

231
00:09:57,868 --> 00:10:00,028
Speaker 3: getting involved and he finally got his touches.

232
00:10:00,068 --> 00:10:01,268
Speaker 4: It was almost like a.

233
00:10:01,148 --> 00:10:04,708
Speaker 3: Therapy session for the Patriots and Bill Belichick. You see

234
00:10:04,788 --> 00:10:07,468
Speaker 3: him doing things that he hasn't done all year long,

235
00:10:07,588 --> 00:10:10,668
Speaker 3: or even in years in fact. So the way that

236
00:10:10,708 --> 00:10:13,148
Speaker 3: Bailey Zappi came out in this game, he hit on

237
00:10:13,748 --> 00:10:15,508
Speaker 3: I think it was like fourteen of his first twenty

238
00:10:15,548 --> 00:10:16,228
Speaker 3: one passes.

239
00:10:16,308 --> 00:10:17,548
Speaker 4: He was just all on.

240
00:10:17,628 --> 00:10:21,228
Speaker 3: They were locked in Juju Smith Schuster, He's given people

241
00:10:21,388 --> 00:10:23,068
Speaker 3: hugs pregame.

242
00:10:22,748 --> 00:10:25,428
Speaker 4: And then it comes out and has a really nice.

243
00:10:25,228 --> 00:10:27,948
Speaker 5: Games off season, goes back to Pittsburgh and looks like

244
00:10:27,948 --> 00:10:28,548
Speaker 5: the Juju ol.

245
00:10:28,588 --> 00:10:29,228
Speaker 2: There's incredible.

246
00:10:29,588 --> 00:10:32,868
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know what got into them, but I mean, yeah,

247
00:10:32,908 --> 00:10:35,108
Speaker 3: there's gonna be a lot of fans that are unhappy

248
00:10:35,268 --> 00:10:37,388
Speaker 3: that all of a sudden they just decided to show

249
00:10:37,468 --> 00:10:40,028
Speaker 3: up and have a little bit of life and show

250
00:10:40,148 --> 00:10:43,068
Speaker 3: some spark and have a pulse finally. But I think

251
00:10:43,108 --> 00:10:45,748
Speaker 3: that it's really good for the players just psychologically to

252
00:10:45,788 --> 00:10:47,908
Speaker 3: have a game like that and to be able to

253
00:10:47,948 --> 00:10:49,948
Speaker 3: go out and still feel good about what they were

254
00:10:49,948 --> 00:10:51,668
Speaker 3: able to do. Now, I don't know what this says

255
00:10:51,668 --> 00:10:54,628
Speaker 3: about the Steelers defense because that opening drive touchdown, they

256
00:10:54,628 --> 00:10:56,868
Speaker 3: marched right down the field. It was seventy five yards

257
00:10:57,108 --> 00:11:02,028
Speaker 3: immediate touchdown. So there's a lot of issues in Pittsburgh.

258
00:11:02,068 --> 00:11:05,028
Speaker 3: And it's almost like the Cardinals beat them twice, but

259
00:11:05,428 --> 00:11:07,988
Speaker 3: now they have to fight to go back into the

260
00:11:08,028 --> 00:11:11,908
Speaker 3: playoff picture. And it's been kind of fluky all season

261
00:11:11,988 --> 00:11:15,108
Speaker 3: long with the Steelers and now they kind of are

262
00:11:15,548 --> 00:11:18,748
Speaker 3: proving that as they fall out of contention after two

263
00:11:19,188 --> 00:11:22,708
Speaker 3: bad games back to back in four days. Ian Rappaport,

264
00:11:22,788 --> 00:11:25,148
Speaker 3: he knows all a lot of He watched this game.

265
00:11:25,388 --> 00:11:26,588
Speaker 4: An important piece of the.

266
00:11:26,508 --> 00:11:29,908
Speaker 3: Steelers defense went down last night. What's the latest, Ian

267
00:11:30,148 --> 00:11:31,348
Speaker 3: with Alex Highsmith.

268
00:11:31,348 --> 00:11:34,428
Speaker 2: That was bad, Yeah, that was bad.

269
00:11:34,628 --> 00:11:36,748
Speaker 10: Scary neck injury early on in the game. If the

270
00:11:36,748 --> 00:11:38,468
Speaker 10: Steelers are going to do anything this season, if they're

271
00:11:38,468 --> 00:11:40,508
Speaker 10: going to make that final playoff push, would certainly help

272
00:11:40,548 --> 00:11:43,948
Speaker 10: to have one of their two elite pass rushers. Obviously TJ.

273
00:11:44,028 --> 00:11:47,188
Speaker 10: Watweo got banged up early, came back. Alex high Smith

274
00:11:47,308 --> 00:11:51,668
Speaker 10: was originally declared questionable during the game then was ruled out.

275
00:11:51,868 --> 00:11:54,548
Speaker 10: Seemed like a Patriots tackle kind of got him around

276
00:11:54,588 --> 00:11:57,588
Speaker 10: the neck and wrung him down and that was a

277
00:11:57,708 --> 00:12:00,028
Speaker 10: neck injury, Mike Tomlin saying after the game he has

278
00:12:00,068 --> 00:12:02,628
Speaker 10: a neck injury of some sorts of really no definitive

279
00:12:02,628 --> 00:12:06,068
Speaker 10: word from Tomlin. Couldn't have test today on that neck.

280
00:12:06,108 --> 00:12:08,188
Speaker 10: But the fact that they have several extra days to

281
00:12:08,188 --> 00:12:09,868
Speaker 10: get ready for the next game at least gives him

282
00:12:09,868 --> 00:12:12,508
Speaker 10: a chance to play next week, although obviously we will

283
00:12:12,548 --> 00:12:16,388
Speaker 10: see what is in store for Alex Heismith. Meanwhile, staying

284
00:12:16,388 --> 00:12:19,988
Speaker 10: in this division for the Baltimore ravens Lamar Jackson did

285
00:12:20,028 --> 00:12:22,988
Speaker 10: not practice yesterday. This has been a familiar thing over

286
00:12:22,988 --> 00:12:24,628
Speaker 10: the last couple of years, but it was his first

287
00:12:24,628 --> 00:12:26,708
Speaker 10: misspractice of the entire season.

288
00:12:27,348 --> 00:12:27,948
Speaker 2: He was sick.

289
00:12:28,188 --> 00:12:30,828
Speaker 10: Lamar Jackson was sick, dealing with an illness. We've actually

290
00:12:30,868 --> 00:12:33,108
Speaker 10: seen this over the last several years. It is that

291
00:12:33,228 --> 00:12:36,028
Speaker 10: time of year to get sick. Lamar Jackson. The fact

292
00:12:36,028 --> 00:12:38,068
Speaker 10: that he misspracticed with just an illness, I would say

293
00:12:38,068 --> 00:12:39,748
Speaker 10: at least a good sign that it's not going to

294
00:12:39,788 --> 00:12:42,788
Speaker 10: affect his availability for their big time game against the

295
00:12:42,868 --> 00:12:43,708
Speaker 10: Rams this weekend.

296
00:12:45,308 --> 00:12:48,188
Speaker 4: Well, he's just like US athletes. They are just like

297
00:12:48,228 --> 00:12:49,708
Speaker 4: everybody else. They get sick.

298
00:12:49,748 --> 00:12:52,468
Speaker 3: It's that time of year, it's the holidays. Everyone is

299
00:12:52,508 --> 00:12:55,148
Speaker 3: sniffling and coughing, and hopefully it's nothing more than that.

300
00:12:55,188 --> 00:12:58,588
Speaker 3: So Ian, hopefully you don't get sick anytime soon, because

301
00:12:58,588 --> 00:13:00,708
Speaker 3: we need you out here work in the phone lines.

302
00:13:00,708 --> 00:13:03,228
Speaker 4: Thank you, we'll talk to you a little later. I'm

303
00:13:03,228 --> 00:13:04,188
Speaker 4: glad that you're feeling OK.

304
00:13:05,268 --> 00:13:08,348
Speaker 3: So the Steelers they take the loss last night. Here's

305
00:13:08,348 --> 00:13:10,788
Speaker 3: a look at the schedule for the rest of the

306
00:13:10,828 --> 00:13:14,228
Speaker 3: AFC North in week fourteen. There's playoff implications all over

307
00:13:14,268 --> 00:13:16,628
Speaker 3: the place. The Colts take on the Bengals, who are

308
00:13:16,628 --> 00:13:19,188
Speaker 3: coming off a win with Jake Browning. The Jags are

309
00:13:19,228 --> 00:13:21,188
Speaker 3: going to Cleveland to take on the Browns, and the

310
00:13:21,268 --> 00:13:23,508
Speaker 3: Rams are headed to Baltimore. So at the time we

311
00:13:23,548 --> 00:13:27,908
Speaker 3: could get this, I know, really good by a thin margin.

312
00:13:28,148 --> 00:13:31,108
Speaker 3: Are the Ravens just sitting up there kind of hanging on?

313
00:13:31,948 --> 00:13:34,188
Speaker 3: So what kind of message can they send not only

314
00:13:34,228 --> 00:13:36,908
Speaker 3: to the rest of the AFC North but the entire

315
00:13:37,028 --> 00:13:38,108
Speaker 3: league On Sunday.

316
00:13:38,268 --> 00:13:40,868
Speaker 5: I think what the Ravens did to the Lions a

317
00:13:40,948 --> 00:13:43,108
Speaker 5: couple of weeks ago was a major statement. Then they

318
00:13:43,148 --> 00:13:44,748
Speaker 5: had two weeks and they did the same exact thing

319
00:13:44,788 --> 00:13:47,148
Speaker 5: to the Seahawks a few weeks later. Can they do

320
00:13:47,148 --> 00:13:48,988
Speaker 5: it to the Rams that these NFC teams come to

321
00:13:49,028 --> 00:13:51,828
Speaker 5: our building, we blow them right out because I think

322
00:13:51,868 --> 00:13:54,348
Speaker 5: now everyone's looking for those teams that separate themselves.

323
00:13:54,348 --> 00:13:55,868
Speaker 2: They're all this muddled mess here.

324
00:13:56,348 --> 00:13:58,148
Speaker 5: I think everyone's been watching this game at one o'clock.

325
00:13:58,308 --> 00:14:01,108
Speaker 5: Rams are red hot, they've got playoff dreams. The Ravens, though,

326
00:14:01,148 --> 00:14:04,788
Speaker 5: can they separate themselves? I think a blowout win is

327
00:14:04,828 --> 00:14:06,788
Speaker 5: asking me a lot, but I think a convincing win

328
00:14:06,988 --> 00:14:08,908
Speaker 5: is not, especially in that building where they've done it

329
00:14:08,948 --> 00:14:11,068
Speaker 5: the two NFC teams that were in playoff contention. You

330
00:14:11,068 --> 00:14:14,108
Speaker 5: remember the Seahawks came in. The Seahawks were the two

331
00:14:14,148 --> 00:14:16,268
Speaker 5: seed in the NFC, and we started saying, well, Seahawks

332
00:14:16,308 --> 00:14:18,268
Speaker 5: will be better than nine ers. Seals have been the

333
00:14:18,308 --> 00:14:20,708
Speaker 5: same since what the Ravens did to them. So I'm

334
00:14:20,748 --> 00:14:22,188
Speaker 5: curious to see if the Ravens can do it again,

335
00:14:22,268 --> 00:14:24,148
Speaker 5: especially if Lamar Jackson is battling it on this and

336
00:14:24,228 --> 00:14:26,268
Speaker 5: especially if Mark Andrews is not on the field.

337
00:14:26,348 --> 00:14:28,708
Speaker 9: Yeah, you just mentioned Mark Andrews. I think the statement

338
00:14:28,748 --> 00:14:30,508
Speaker 9: they can send they go out there and win this game,

339
00:14:30,628 --> 00:14:33,068
Speaker 9: and if they get something from Isaiah Likely he's to me,

340
00:14:33,188 --> 00:14:35,508
Speaker 9: is the question mark on this office because we've seen

341
00:14:35,548 --> 00:14:37,668
Speaker 9: it hitting on cylinders where Lamar's back there and he's

342
00:14:37,668 --> 00:14:40,228
Speaker 9: getting it to Jay Flowers, or we see Odell Beckham

343
00:14:40,268 --> 00:14:43,188
Speaker 9: on a Thursday night game catch a slant and take off.

344
00:14:43,228 --> 00:14:45,708
Speaker 9: Isaiah likely is the guy, because Harbo said they didn't

345
00:14:45,708 --> 00:14:47,788
Speaker 9: know that they were interested in a zach Ertz bringing

346
00:14:47,828 --> 00:14:48,548
Speaker 9: somebody else in.

347
00:14:48,788 --> 00:14:51,108
Speaker 2: They were confident the guys that they had in their room.

348
00:14:51,388 --> 00:14:52,748
Speaker 2: And remember a year ago, we're in.

349
00:14:52,668 --> 00:14:55,668
Speaker 9: Preseason, they were calling him baby Mark Andrews in Lamar

350
00:14:55,828 --> 00:14:58,388
Speaker 9: was talking about how much he liked Isaiah Likely in

351
00:14:58,428 --> 00:15:01,108
Speaker 9: this athleticism, his ability to run after the catch. So

352
00:15:01,188 --> 00:15:02,868
Speaker 9: I look at this game and I think the Ravens

353
00:15:02,908 --> 00:15:04,828
Speaker 9: gonna win, but I think if they can get him going,

354
00:15:05,028 --> 00:15:06,748
Speaker 9: it will answer a lot of question marks in the

355
00:15:06,748 --> 00:15:08,908
Speaker 9: red zone and different things of that nature from that

356
00:15:08,908 --> 00:15:09,668
Speaker 9: tight end position.

357
00:15:09,828 --> 00:15:11,548
Speaker 1: I think back to the you know, when the schedule

358
00:15:11,588 --> 00:15:13,668
Speaker 1: release happens in the season and we're doing the offseason,

359
00:15:13,668 --> 00:15:16,428
Speaker 1: we all own Avrea Bay's schedule, Baltimore schedule comes out,

360
00:15:16,428 --> 00:15:19,788
Speaker 1: and you're like, Okay, bam. Week thirteen bye, that's fine,

361
00:15:19,948 --> 00:15:21,948
Speaker 1: let's get there. At eight and four, nine and three,

362
00:15:22,188 --> 00:15:24,388
Speaker 1: nine and three, they go into the bye. I love

363
00:15:24,428 --> 00:15:26,148
Speaker 1: the late by because it's like you come out of

364
00:15:26,188 --> 00:15:28,628
Speaker 1: that that chamber and you're like, now let's go. I

365
00:15:28,668 --> 00:15:30,468
Speaker 1: want you in shape, I want you ready, I want

366
00:15:30,508 --> 00:15:32,388
Speaker 1: you crisp, I want you healthy, and what you rested.

367
00:15:32,708 --> 00:15:34,748
Speaker 1: Every single game they have on the schedule from here

368
00:15:34,788 --> 00:15:37,508
Speaker 1: on out matters. It's all a team that matters. And we've,

369
00:15:37,708 --> 00:15:41,428
Speaker 1: i think after last night, realizing it the folly of

370
00:15:41,548 --> 00:15:44,268
Speaker 1: just assuming wins. You just like when you watch what

371
00:15:44,308 --> 00:15:46,628
Speaker 1: the Steelers just did and you say, like, oh, well,

372
00:15:46,668 --> 00:15:48,508
Speaker 1: you know the Arizona Cardinals at home, the Pat's home,

373
00:15:48,548 --> 00:15:50,588
Speaker 1: they can have Le's two wins. It's two losses. It's

374
00:15:50,628 --> 00:15:54,268
Speaker 1: total folly. So when you see Baltimore it can handle

375
00:15:54,348 --> 00:15:55,988
Speaker 1: La at home. You don't know that at all. Like

376
00:15:56,228 --> 00:15:58,388
Speaker 1: it is all on the table. This is why we

377
00:15:58,468 --> 00:16:00,748
Speaker 1: lift all those weights. The Ravens should look sharp and

378
00:16:00,828 --> 00:16:03,308
Speaker 1: just run through this thing, because honestly, that week thirteen

379
00:16:03,308 --> 00:16:05,428
Speaker 1: bye is a gift from the foot gods. You should

380
00:16:05,428 --> 00:16:07,108
Speaker 1: be fresh and fast on this this Sunday and they

381
00:16:07,108 --> 00:16:07,908
Speaker 1: should beat the Rams.

382
00:16:07,908 --> 00:16:08,868
Speaker 2: But I don't know if they will.

383
00:16:08,988 --> 00:16:11,348
Speaker 3: They need to show that they can be efficient and

384
00:16:11,428 --> 00:16:13,668
Speaker 3: that they can be that they can go down the

385
00:16:13,668 --> 00:16:16,668
Speaker 3: field without Mark Andrews, as you just mentioned. But also

386
00:16:16,668 --> 00:16:19,548
Speaker 3: we've seen them get behind in the playoffs in January.

387
00:16:19,668 --> 00:16:21,628
Speaker 3: We know that they can run the ball, but we

388
00:16:21,748 --> 00:16:23,188
Speaker 3: know that that is an issue for them.

389
00:16:23,468 --> 00:16:25,148
Speaker 4: So if they don't have another.

390
00:16:24,868 --> 00:16:27,708
Speaker 3: Pass catcher that really steps up, that could be a

391
00:16:27,748 --> 00:16:30,508
Speaker 3: problem moving forward. I don't know who needs a pass

392
00:16:30,548 --> 00:16:31,988
Speaker 3: catcher to step up more. I don't know if it's

393
00:16:31,988 --> 00:16:34,548
Speaker 3: the Ravens or the Chiefs, because they both sort of

394
00:16:34,588 --> 00:16:37,348
Speaker 3: need that and they're both hang around at the top

395
00:16:37,388 --> 00:16:45,348
Speaker 3: of the AFC. So that'll be a fun one.

396
00:16:46,428 --> 00:16:49,188
Speaker 5: Look at this if we have this playoffs start right now.

397
00:16:49,228 --> 00:16:52,948
Speaker 5: The Houston Texans are back in because of that Steelers loss.

398
00:16:53,108 --> 00:16:55,908
Speaker 5: AFC North, you've got the Ravens, the Browns.

399
00:16:55,948 --> 00:16:56,748
Speaker 2: They're in right now.

400
00:16:56,948 --> 00:16:59,188
Speaker 5: Steelers and Bengals are right on the outside.

401
00:16:59,188 --> 00:17:00,948
Speaker 2: But what a loaded, loaded division.

402
00:17:00,948 --> 00:17:04,348
Speaker 5: And guess what, guys, there are some incredible games this weekend.

403
00:17:05,948 --> 00:17:06,188
Speaker 1: I know.

404
00:17:06,388 --> 00:17:08,708
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, when you look at what's over on

405
00:17:08,788 --> 00:17:13,228
Speaker 3: the NFC side of things, Peter, it's just a huge

406
00:17:13,228 --> 00:17:17,228
Speaker 3: slate here with one of the highest stakes right there

407
00:17:17,268 --> 00:17:20,468
Speaker 3: with the Eagles taking on the Cowboys. The Cowboys coming

408
00:17:20,468 --> 00:17:23,748
Speaker 3: off that huge win over the Seahawks. They finally got

409
00:17:23,748 --> 00:17:25,948
Speaker 3: a win over a team with a five hundred record.

410
00:17:25,948 --> 00:17:28,508
Speaker 3: But now that team doesn't have a five hundred record anymore,

411
00:17:28,548 --> 00:17:28,788
Speaker 3: so I.

412
00:17:28,708 --> 00:17:30,548
Speaker 4: Don't really know what that means.

413
00:17:30,788 --> 00:17:33,708
Speaker 3: Let's focus though, on those two teams here, with the

414
00:17:33,748 --> 00:17:36,908
Speaker 3: Bills and the Chiefs in the AFC so and then

415
00:17:36,948 --> 00:17:39,388
Speaker 3: we have the Eagles and the Cowboys obviously in the NFC.

416
00:17:39,508 --> 00:17:41,508
Speaker 4: Of those four teams, we're going to go through here.

417
00:17:41,388 --> 00:17:44,188
Speaker 3: Ask a couple questions, because these are the two biggest matchups,

418
00:17:44,388 --> 00:17:47,988
Speaker 3: who's win would make the loudest statement out of everyone

419
00:17:48,028 --> 00:17:48,428
Speaker 3: on the board.

420
00:17:48,468 --> 00:17:50,108
Speaker 9: Jason, I'm going to start, and I'm going to go

421
00:17:50,188 --> 00:17:52,348
Speaker 9: to Buffalo Bills. And the reason for that. These other

422
00:17:52,348 --> 00:17:54,868
Speaker 9: teams obviously will be big wins, Cowboys will be a

423
00:17:54,908 --> 00:17:57,108
Speaker 9: front of them in a division. But there's still so many.

424
00:17:57,148 --> 00:17:58,148
Speaker 2: For the Buffalo Bills.

425
00:17:58,148 --> 00:18:01,668
Speaker 9: They lose this game, your playoff chances just continue to decrease.

426
00:18:01,988 --> 00:18:03,828
Speaker 9: They win this game, they knock one off with the

427
00:18:03,908 --> 00:18:06,108
Speaker 9: Knas City Chiefs. Now we're talking about the chance for

428
00:18:06,148 --> 00:18:08,308
Speaker 9: the Buffalo Bills of like, well, maybe they do have

429
00:18:08,348 --> 00:18:10,588
Speaker 9: a shot. Maybe they can win out or maybe lose

430
00:18:10,588 --> 00:18:13,188
Speaker 9: one of these games and walk their way into the playoffs.

431
00:18:13,228 --> 00:18:15,308
Speaker 9: When we said it yesterday, for them to get into

432
00:18:15,308 --> 00:18:16,828
Speaker 9: the players, they're going to need one of the best

433
00:18:16,828 --> 00:18:19,628
Speaker 9: performances from Josh Allen. So you look at this one,

434
00:18:19,668 --> 00:18:21,188
Speaker 9: this is them in the Kansas City Chiefs. You throw

435
00:18:21,188 --> 00:18:22,788
Speaker 9: all the stats out of the window. This is going

436
00:18:22,828 --> 00:18:24,668
Speaker 9: to be a heavy hitter game. And I think if

437
00:18:24,668 --> 00:18:26,628
Speaker 9: Buffalo wins this one, we're gonna be talking about in

438
00:18:26,668 --> 00:18:28,028
Speaker 9: this shakes up the playoffs a lot.

439
00:18:28,388 --> 00:18:30,308
Speaker 5: Of course, it's a huge man for all four teams,

440
00:18:30,308 --> 00:18:32,228
Speaker 5: and Buffalo would keep their season alive. But I gotta

441
00:18:32,228 --> 00:18:34,508
Speaker 5: think it's Dallas. I think it's gotta be Dallas. This

442
00:18:34,548 --> 00:18:36,988
Speaker 5: is the story of the Cowboys season. You beat the

443
00:18:36,988 --> 00:18:38,948
Speaker 5: bad teams, you lose to the good teams. Well here's

444
00:18:38,948 --> 00:18:40,948
Speaker 5: your arch nemesis, and they're pretty darn good and they're

445
00:18:40,948 --> 00:18:43,628
Speaker 5: coming in hobbling after a loss to the forty nine ers.

446
00:18:43,668 --> 00:18:46,228
Speaker 5: We're not only physically they got beat up. I think

447
00:18:46,268 --> 00:18:47,868
Speaker 5: their egos might have taken a little bit of a

448
00:18:47,868 --> 00:18:51,028
Speaker 5: shot too. So technologically, if they go into Dallas and

449
00:18:51,108 --> 00:18:52,508
Speaker 5: Dallas gives the business to Philly.

450
00:18:52,868 --> 00:18:54,108
Speaker 2: It's a statement around the league.

451
00:18:54,108 --> 00:18:56,348
Speaker 5: It's also a statement to the San Francisco forty nine

452
00:18:56,428 --> 00:18:58,228
Speaker 5: ers who are sitting up on their perch and they're.

453
00:18:57,988 --> 00:18:59,828
Speaker 2: Like, we beat both these two peons.

454
00:19:00,228 --> 00:19:02,748
Speaker 5: No, no, no, you beat the Cowboys of September.

455
00:19:03,188 --> 00:19:04,348
Speaker 2: You didn't beat this team.

456
00:19:04,428 --> 00:19:06,148
Speaker 5: You haven't beaten the team that we're playing right now.

457
00:19:06,988 --> 00:19:10,348
Speaker 5: The Mike McCarthy appendix, situations, the little concerning no one,

458
00:19:10,668 --> 00:19:10,948
Speaker 5: No one.

459
00:19:10,948 --> 00:19:13,028
Speaker 1: Sees everyone's they're better off without him anyway.

460
00:19:13,668 --> 00:19:15,988
Speaker 5: Carthy's been coaching his ass off this year, so I'm

461
00:19:16,068 --> 00:19:18,588
Speaker 5: very curious to see how he is and what health

462
00:19:18,628 --> 00:19:20,428
Speaker 5: is and what he missed not being there for a bit.

463
00:19:21,388 --> 00:19:21,788
Speaker 1: Dallas.

464
00:19:21,788 --> 00:19:22,788
Speaker 2: What a statement would be if.

465
00:19:22,708 --> 00:19:24,348
Speaker 1: They beat the Eagles. I tend to agree with you

466
00:19:24,388 --> 00:19:27,148
Speaker 1: because it'll be a two prong statement. It's about them,

467
00:19:27,188 --> 00:19:29,188
Speaker 1: and then there'll be so much talk about Philly, like

468
00:19:29,228 --> 00:19:31,868
Speaker 1: there will be a lot of talk about Wait a second,

469
00:19:32,108 --> 00:19:34,788
Speaker 1: there's I think there's four NFC teams that really matter.

470
00:19:34,948 --> 00:19:37,068
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's those two at San Francisco, and

471
00:19:37,108 --> 00:19:39,388
Speaker 1: then it's Detroit. You're telling me you just lost back

472
00:19:39,428 --> 00:19:41,108
Speaker 1: to back to two of them. Like in back to

473
00:19:41,148 --> 00:19:43,428
Speaker 1: back weeks Philly, like, you know, like the panic will

474
00:19:43,428 --> 00:19:46,868
Speaker 1: sit in everywhere, and then Dallas is like listen, I'm

475
00:19:46,908 --> 00:19:49,508
Speaker 1: with you, though, Peter. I'm like, the conversation about Dallas

476
00:19:49,548 --> 00:19:50,348
Speaker 1: is going to immediately go.

477
00:19:50,268 --> 00:19:50,948
Speaker 2: To San Francisco.

478
00:19:50,988 --> 00:19:54,028
Speaker 1: It's a damn if you don't he beat Philly, and

479
00:19:54,068 --> 00:19:57,788
Speaker 1: then it's like every take afterwards go yeah, but come on,

480
00:19:57,868 --> 00:19:59,508
Speaker 1: you're not San Francisco, which is unfair.

481
00:19:59,708 --> 00:20:01,708
Speaker 2: That's how we do it. I think it is.

482
00:20:01,908 --> 00:20:04,308
Speaker 1: Look, I think if the Bills win, kind of the same.

483
00:20:04,668 --> 00:20:06,868
Speaker 1: I think eighty percent of the conversation is about what's

484
00:20:06,868 --> 00:20:07,548
Speaker 1: wrong with the Chiefs.

485
00:20:07,548 --> 00:20:09,748
Speaker 2: They just lost again. That's where we are right now.

486
00:20:09,868 --> 00:20:12,028
Speaker 1: We expect certain things from certain teams, and when they

487
00:20:12,068 --> 00:20:13,348
Speaker 1: lose late, we're like, what's wrong?

488
00:20:13,388 --> 00:20:15,508
Speaker 2: What's wrong? So it's too interesting matchups?

489
00:20:15,508 --> 00:20:19,308
Speaker 5: But I'll start yeah, is that not a microcosmo society today?

490
00:20:19,508 --> 00:20:21,948
Speaker 5: What you want a minute to talk about it that

491
00:20:22,308 --> 00:20:24,348
Speaker 5: sare's all this good in the world. You know, there's

492
00:20:24,388 --> 00:20:26,188
Speaker 5: a team wins and we want to celebrate it, and

493
00:20:26,228 --> 00:20:29,748
Speaker 5: our immediate reaction is the negative, the pessimism, the sadness.

494
00:20:29,748 --> 00:20:31,908
Speaker 5: That is not just the football media, it's media as

495
00:20:31,948 --> 00:20:34,068
Speaker 5: a whole. Colleen on to you back my gosh.

496
00:20:33,748 --> 00:20:36,188
Speaker 4: Wow, I'm gonna try well. I mean because I was

497
00:20:36,188 --> 00:20:37,148
Speaker 4: gonna go negative here.

498
00:20:37,028 --> 00:20:40,268
Speaker 11: As well, but because for me, it's the Bills, Like,

499
00:20:40,508 --> 00:20:44,068
Speaker 11: if they lose this game, they fall to below five

500
00:20:44,148 --> 00:20:46,668
Speaker 11: hundreds or six and seven, they're three and six in

501
00:20:46,708 --> 00:20:47,908
Speaker 11: the conference.

502
00:20:47,468 --> 00:20:49,428
Speaker 3: At that point, I don't know, so then they would

503
00:20:49,468 --> 00:20:52,148
Speaker 3: not have any of the tiebreaker scenarios. And I don't

504
00:20:52,148 --> 00:20:54,868
Speaker 3: know what Josh Allen we're going to get in this game.

505
00:20:55,108 --> 00:20:57,908
Speaker 3: I never really know because against Philly we saw him,

506
00:20:57,988 --> 00:21:00,828
Speaker 3: especially in the second half of that game, really show

507
00:21:00,908 --> 00:21:03,948
Speaker 3: the old vintage Josh Allen where he's running around, he's

508
00:21:03,948 --> 00:21:06,668
Speaker 3: making plays, but he's not making mistakes. I don't know

509
00:21:06,748 --> 00:21:09,388
Speaker 3: which one is going to show up. And it's just

510
00:21:09,508 --> 00:21:12,788
Speaker 3: a huge stage for them, obviously playing the Chiefs, so

511
00:21:13,268 --> 00:21:15,468
Speaker 3: everyone is going to be talking about them. If they

512
00:21:15,508 --> 00:21:18,148
Speaker 3: don't show up and they fall to below five hundred,

513
00:21:18,228 --> 00:21:19,268
Speaker 3: that's not what they were supposed to do.

514
00:21:19,348 --> 00:21:23,668
Speaker 1: This season's fantastic against the Chiefs, especially at Air Heavy Tech.

515
00:21:24,188 --> 00:21:25,988
Speaker 1: I made one joke yesterday and past word I said

516
00:21:26,068 --> 00:21:28,868
Speaker 1: Allen had stadium and were like.

517
00:21:33,068 --> 00:21:35,868
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, you know what the people nerves are

518
00:21:35,908 --> 00:21:36,668
Speaker 3: touching right now.

519
00:21:36,828 --> 00:21:38,708
Speaker 4: It's emotions are high.

520
00:21:38,748 --> 00:21:41,188
Speaker 3: But between the Bills, the Chiefs, the Eagles and the Cowboys,

521
00:21:41,388 --> 00:21:44,428
Speaker 3: which team could use a superman? Speaking of Josh Allen

522
00:21:44,508 --> 00:21:47,468
Speaker 3: performance from their quarterback the most Jay everything.

523
00:21:47,508 --> 00:21:49,868
Speaker 9: You two guys just said, it's Jailen Hursts and the

524
00:21:49,868 --> 00:21:52,668
Speaker 9: Philadelphia Eagles. You just talked about what an opportunity would

525
00:21:52,708 --> 00:21:54,788
Speaker 9: be if the Cowboys win this game, and what everybody's

526
00:21:54,788 --> 00:21:57,948
Speaker 9: saying about Philly. The conversation has been Jaalen Hurts and

527
00:21:58,028 --> 00:22:00,788
Speaker 9: he's holding the ball to whatever his knee anything. A

528
00:22:00,868 --> 00:22:04,548
Speaker 9: superman performance from him would silence everybody of just oh,

529
00:22:04,668 --> 00:22:07,788
Speaker 9: this is Jalen Hurts. There's no question marks around our quarterback,

530
00:22:07,988 --> 00:22:11,148
Speaker 9: his work ethic, his process, everything that he talks about

531
00:22:11,148 --> 00:22:13,268
Speaker 9: on a week to week basis. So for me, it's

532
00:22:13,308 --> 00:22:15,428
Speaker 9: Philly him showing up, getting the ball to aj Brown,

533
00:22:15,548 --> 00:22:17,548
Speaker 9: him being able to maybe take off from the pocket

534
00:22:17,548 --> 00:22:19,828
Speaker 9: and make a few plays running the ball as well.

535
00:22:19,988 --> 00:22:21,748
Speaker 9: I think it starts and ends with Jaelen Hurts on

536
00:22:21,788 --> 00:22:23,308
Speaker 9: this question when it comes to the quarterback.

537
00:22:23,428 --> 00:22:25,748
Speaker 2: Peter, You've been doing this long enough. I'm thinking about

538
00:22:25,748 --> 00:22:26,188
Speaker 2: you on the right.

539
00:22:26,708 --> 00:22:28,828
Speaker 1: You ever have a take that you put yourself out

540
00:22:28,868 --> 00:22:30,268
Speaker 1: there for and you put your name on it, and

541
00:22:30,268 --> 00:22:32,388
Speaker 1: you look at that camera and you throw in on

542
00:22:32,428 --> 00:22:34,828
Speaker 1: a player, maybe throw against the player, and then that

543
00:22:34,908 --> 00:22:37,588
Speaker 1: game you feel like, Wow, I have a lot investment.

544
00:22:37,668 --> 00:22:40,228
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm thinking about David Carr this week, and

545
00:22:40,268 --> 00:22:43,588
Speaker 1: it's like, if Jalen Hurts has a fantastic game and

546
00:22:43,708 --> 00:22:46,348
Speaker 1: runs and dissects from the pocket, that's got to hurt.

547
00:22:46,388 --> 00:22:48,748
Speaker 1: And I really empathize with him because I've thrown against

548
00:22:48,788 --> 00:22:51,028
Speaker 1: players and then they look like a first ballot.

549
00:22:50,708 --> 00:22:51,308
Speaker 2: Guy all the time.

550
00:22:51,348 --> 00:22:55,308
Speaker 1: Like the Hurts thing is massive. Damn Car's gonna catch

551
00:22:55,308 --> 00:22:57,308
Speaker 1: crap if he's really good. And on the other hand,

552
00:22:57,508 --> 00:22:58,788
Speaker 1: I don't know if he struggles.

553
00:22:59,988 --> 00:23:02,668
Speaker 2: Look at it playing again, DC, you can't do it

554
00:23:02,668 --> 00:23:02,908
Speaker 2: a case.

555
00:23:02,988 --> 00:23:04,868
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like there's a lot of that

556
00:23:04,908 --> 00:23:06,348
Speaker 1: for one of our colleagues, you know what I mean.

557
00:23:06,668 --> 00:23:08,948
Speaker 3: It is, Yeah, you know, we're really we're pulling for

558
00:23:09,028 --> 00:23:11,228
Speaker 3: a lot of different things in that scenario.

559
00:23:11,348 --> 00:23:13,668
Speaker 4: But I think the quarterback.

560
00:23:13,228 --> 00:23:16,348
Speaker 3: That has the most approved it's actually the quarterback that's

561
00:23:16,428 --> 00:23:18,348
Speaker 3: up here that kind of has the least to prove,

562
00:23:18,428 --> 00:23:21,028
Speaker 3: but his team needs him the most in this game,

563
00:23:21,068 --> 00:23:23,868
Speaker 3: and that's Patrick Mahomes. Because of the way that the

564
00:23:23,988 --> 00:23:26,388
Speaker 3: offense has just not been scoring points.

565
00:23:26,588 --> 00:23:28,828
Speaker 4: It's just very un Mahomes like.

566
00:23:29,308 --> 00:23:33,428
Speaker 3: And they they're pass catchers after Travis Kelce.

567
00:23:33,748 --> 00:23:35,948
Speaker 4: We talked about it so many times. We thought it

568
00:23:35,988 --> 00:23:36,388
Speaker 4: was going to.

569
00:23:36,388 --> 00:23:39,068
Speaker 3: Be an issue last year after they traded away Tyreek Hill,

570
00:23:39,228 --> 00:23:40,948
Speaker 3: and it wasn't. They still want to the super Bowl.

571
00:23:41,028 --> 00:23:45,188
Speaker 3: They won it this year. It's just different and the communication.

572
00:23:45,428 --> 00:23:47,388
Speaker 3: We've seen a lot of different issues. We've seen the

573
00:23:47,508 --> 00:23:50,628
Speaker 3: drops that have been a problem. So they need Patrick

574
00:23:50,668 --> 00:23:54,108
Speaker 3: Mahomes to be an absolute superstar. Because Mahomes, he's trying

575
00:23:54,148 --> 00:23:56,308
Speaker 3: to do everything he can. He's second on the team

576
00:23:56,348 --> 00:23:59,508
Speaker 3: in rushing right now too, like he cannot do it all.

577
00:23:59,708 --> 00:24:02,868
Speaker 3: He needs those too, because his team is not elevating

578
00:24:02,988 --> 00:24:05,508
Speaker 3: like the way that he usually and that they usually

579
00:24:05,508 --> 00:24:06,308
Speaker 3: do for him.

580
00:24:06,548 --> 00:24:07,668
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Josh Allen.

581
00:24:08,108 --> 00:24:10,188
Speaker 5: I know we've talked about it at nauseum in the

582
00:24:10,228 --> 00:24:12,668
Speaker 5: last two days, especially and especially you know, with what's

583
00:24:12,708 --> 00:24:14,428
Speaker 5: going on in the season. I also look at what

584
00:24:14,828 --> 00:24:17,468
Speaker 5: is just up in Buffalo as a whole, like, let's

585
00:24:17,548 --> 00:24:19,668
Speaker 5: keep this thing together right now as far as we can.

586
00:24:19,708 --> 00:24:21,868
Speaker 5: There was the press conference yesterday, there was the article

587
00:24:21,868 --> 00:24:23,828
Speaker 5: that came out by Tye Dunn, and you've got all

588
00:24:23,828 --> 00:24:26,148
Speaker 5: this stuff going on, and it's like, what if I

589
00:24:26,188 --> 00:24:27,548
Speaker 5: just throw the team in my back and we get

590
00:24:27,548 --> 00:24:29,268
Speaker 5: out of Arrowhead and we win? And like, does that

591
00:24:29,348 --> 00:24:31,388
Speaker 5: silence everything? Does that put us in a little bit

592
00:24:31,388 --> 00:24:33,788
Speaker 5: of a breathing room here where it's not everyone on

593
00:24:33,788 --> 00:24:36,308
Speaker 5: the hot seat and worried a baited breath about what

594
00:24:36,308 --> 00:24:39,228
Speaker 5: we're talking about in the locker room after the game.

595
00:24:39,428 --> 00:24:41,468
Speaker 5: I just think Josh Allen has it in him. He's

596
00:24:41,548 --> 00:24:44,228
Speaker 5: done it in Arrowhead before, Kyle, you've mentioned it. It's

597
00:24:44,228 --> 00:24:47,268
Speaker 5: not just the thirteen seconds game. It's got two other

598
00:24:47,348 --> 00:24:49,388
Speaker 5: wins in that building. Yes, there were the regular season,

599
00:24:49,428 --> 00:24:51,908
Speaker 5: but he has been a winner in Arrowhead as well.

600
00:24:51,988 --> 00:24:54,348
Speaker 1: Twelve touchdowns, one interception in Arrowhead.

601
00:24:54,468 --> 00:24:56,548
Speaker 5: So say what you want about the Bills and what

602
00:24:56,588 --> 00:24:59,588
Speaker 5: a disappointment they've been. There's still a path to the playoffs,

603
00:24:59,588 --> 00:25:01,228
Speaker 5: and if they win in this game, it takes a

604
00:25:01,228 --> 00:25:02,028
Speaker 5: lot of heat off a lot.

605
00:25:02,108 --> 00:25:05,108
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Okay, So how about those one Which of

606
00:25:05,148 --> 00:25:08,628
Speaker 3: these four teams will be the biggest story on Monday,

607
00:25:08,948 --> 00:25:10,028
Speaker 3: win or lose.

608
00:25:10,228 --> 00:25:12,308
Speaker 9: Jay, I'm piggybacking right off of what you were just

609
00:25:12,308 --> 00:25:14,308
Speaker 9: saying the Buffalo Bills, I think they're going to be

610
00:25:14,388 --> 00:25:16,548
Speaker 9: the story on Monday, win or lose, and a love

611
00:25:16,628 --> 00:25:18,228
Speaker 9: that has to deal with everything you just said, the

612
00:25:18,388 --> 00:25:21,228
Speaker 9: stuff going on outside of the football field. I think

613
00:25:21,308 --> 00:25:23,268
Speaker 9: when you're in a team, and especially if they lose

614
00:25:23,308 --> 00:25:25,548
Speaker 9: this game, you're under five hundred and you're struggling to

615
00:25:25,588 --> 00:25:27,628
Speaker 9: get into the players, it's hard to imagine a playoff

616
00:25:27,628 --> 00:25:31,068
Speaker 9: scenario that doesn't include Josh Allen as a quarterback, and

617
00:25:31,108 --> 00:25:33,068
Speaker 9: that could be the case. I think come Monday, you're

618
00:25:33,108 --> 00:25:35,628
Speaker 9: going to start the question and say, all right, what's really.

619
00:25:35,348 --> 00:25:36,228
Speaker 2: Going on with Buffalo.

620
00:25:36,268 --> 00:25:38,228
Speaker 9: You're gonna go and you're gonna read Dune's Oracle and

621
00:25:38,268 --> 00:25:40,268
Speaker 9: try to figure out and dissect and all of the

622
00:25:40,308 --> 00:25:43,148
Speaker 9: little things just start to bubble to the surface. When

623
00:25:43,148 --> 00:25:45,908
Speaker 9: you're winning, a lot of those things go unspoken. Nobody's

624
00:25:45,948 --> 00:25:48,268
Speaker 9: worried about the locker room and what Diggs is doing.

625
00:25:48,388 --> 00:25:50,908
Speaker 9: What When you start losing games, or even for them,

626
00:25:50,908 --> 00:25:52,748
Speaker 9: when you start winning these games, now you're gonna say,

627
00:25:53,068 --> 00:25:56,148
Speaker 9: who's it on? Are they winning all because of Josh Allen?

628
00:25:56,268 --> 00:25:58,588
Speaker 9: They win an spite of Sean McDermott. To me, there's

629
00:25:58,588 --> 00:26:00,468
Speaker 9: going to be a lot of questions come Monday. No

630
00:26:00,508 --> 00:26:01,828
Speaker 9: matter what happens in this one.

631
00:26:01,668 --> 00:26:05,988
Speaker 5: I'm going with the NFL network like every other network.

632
00:26:05,908 --> 00:26:06,508
Speaker 2: We're gonna lose.

633
00:26:06,548 --> 00:26:08,828
Speaker 5: It's the Cowboys, That's what it is, and I think

634
00:26:09,068 --> 00:26:11,308
Speaker 5: it's it's in this case it's warranted. I think if

635
00:26:11,308 --> 00:26:13,428
Speaker 5: they beat the Eagles and they do it convincingly, like

636
00:26:13,468 --> 00:26:16,148
Speaker 5: we're talking about an NFL power, we're also talking about

637
00:26:16,148 --> 00:26:19,228
Speaker 5: the MVP probably leader, and that's no offense to party

638
00:26:19,268 --> 00:26:19,668
Speaker 5: what he's.

639
00:26:19,508 --> 00:26:21,548
Speaker 2: Doing, you think it loses this epic of a store.

640
00:26:21,588 --> 00:26:22,868
Speaker 1: I think if they lose, it's a big store.

641
00:26:23,188 --> 00:26:25,708
Speaker 5: They're gonna make the playoffs and it's gonna be like yeah,

642
00:26:25,748 --> 00:26:27,108
Speaker 5: but same thing as every year.

643
00:26:27,228 --> 00:26:28,148
Speaker 2: You know, there's.

644
00:26:28,188 --> 00:26:31,748
Speaker 5: This this feels right now as we are in December seventh,

645
00:26:31,748 --> 00:26:34,908
Speaker 5: it feels like a special Cowboys team. But come December tenth,

646
00:26:34,948 --> 00:26:37,068
Speaker 5: if they lose, it's not it's the same thing and

647
00:26:37,108 --> 00:26:38,028
Speaker 5: we're back to where we were and.

648
00:26:38,228 --> 00:26:40,828
Speaker 2: It's you know, they lose that the same thing.

649
00:26:40,868 --> 00:26:42,668
Speaker 5: You go back to play the Niners in the playoffs and.

650
00:26:42,588 --> 00:26:46,428
Speaker 1: You lose, like it's their whole season. I just feel

651
00:26:46,468 --> 00:26:48,548
Speaker 1: like comes down to their division runets. We know they're

652
00:26:48,588 --> 00:26:50,148
Speaker 1: going to be in it's going to be against them

653
00:26:50,388 --> 00:26:52,348
Speaker 1: or other nives or maybe it's just like it's all

654
00:26:52,388 --> 00:26:52,668
Speaker 1: for that.

655
00:26:52,988 --> 00:26:54,908
Speaker 2: I agree with you, it's Dallas, But I want to

656
00:26:54,908 --> 00:26:56,148
Speaker 2: go back to what Jason said.

657
00:26:56,148 --> 00:26:59,468
Speaker 1: It's like, so we're playing the Hunger Games with quarterbacks

658
00:26:59,508 --> 00:27:01,308
Speaker 1: right now in the AFC, Like there's only a few

659
00:27:01,388 --> 00:27:01,948
Speaker 1: left standing.

660
00:27:02,028 --> 00:27:03,628
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of them is Josh Allen.

661
00:27:03,708 --> 00:27:05,628
Speaker 1: And you're telling me that a team could be looking

662
00:27:05,668 --> 00:27:07,748
Speaker 1: at not getting to the playoffs and that spot goes

663
00:27:07,788 --> 00:27:11,468
Speaker 1: to Gardner Minshew or Jake Browning or a rookie CJ.

664
00:27:11,588 --> 00:27:13,108
Speaker 2: Stroud or Joe Flacco.

665
00:27:13,308 --> 00:27:15,708
Speaker 1: And you have a healthy Josh Allen, Like there's only

666
00:27:15,708 --> 00:27:16,548
Speaker 1: a few guys left.

667
00:27:16,868 --> 00:27:17,508
Speaker 2: No, we got.

668
00:27:17,348 --> 00:27:21,228
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Lamar and John Like Mahomes, Mahomes and Lamar

669
00:27:21,268 --> 00:27:24,388
Speaker 1: are fine, Tua is fine. Josh All's one hundred percent healthy,

670
00:27:24,388 --> 00:27:26,268
Speaker 1: and these other people are just are doing the Lord

671
00:27:26,268 --> 00:27:28,868
Speaker 1: of the Five. You gotta make the playoffs this year.

672
00:27:28,908 --> 00:27:31,268
Speaker 1: If this is gonna be the year, that's that's not it.

673
00:27:31,268 --> 00:27:33,108
Speaker 2: It's one thing. If it's justin Herbert, you're like, well,

674
00:27:33,428 --> 00:27:34,348
Speaker 2: you just can't get it right.

675
00:27:34,348 --> 00:27:38,068
Speaker 1: And this is Josh Allens. Seven spots and there's about

676
00:27:38,108 --> 00:27:41,348
Speaker 1: four star quarterbacks still standing in the AFC, maybe five

677
00:27:41,548 --> 00:27:43,668
Speaker 1: you got you can't get a spot, which with healthy Josh,

678
00:27:43,668 --> 00:27:44,468
Speaker 1: it's not a good look.

679
00:27:44,548 --> 00:27:45,108
Speaker 4: Winner lose.

680
00:27:45,148 --> 00:27:48,108
Speaker 3: It's the Cowboys, like, this is so easy for me

681
00:27:48,388 --> 00:27:51,828
Speaker 3: because everything sets up for them here to win, considering

682
00:27:51,868 --> 00:27:54,628
Speaker 3: they're coming off the Mini by, they're undefeated at home,

683
00:27:54,868 --> 00:27:57,948
Speaker 3: they're averaging over forty points per game since that the

684
00:27:58,028 --> 00:28:00,548
Speaker 3: last time that they met up with the Eagles. But

685
00:28:00,868 --> 00:28:03,988
Speaker 3: if they end up losing this game to a what

686
00:28:04,068 --> 00:28:07,828
Speaker 3: should be a tired Eagles team coming off that Niners

687
00:28:08,148 --> 00:28:11,548
Speaker 3: game where they got absolutely embarrassed and slapped at home,

688
00:28:11,988 --> 00:28:15,188
Speaker 3: Like I can already hear Michael Irvin, I can hear

689
00:28:15,268 --> 00:28:18,508
Speaker 3: stephen A the rants, like if they win, it's like

690
00:28:18,628 --> 00:28:22,428
Speaker 3: Dak is an MVP. They're going so far in the playoffs,

691
00:28:22,468 --> 00:28:24,948
Speaker 3: like they need a rematch with the Niners.

692
00:28:24,988 --> 00:28:26,308
Speaker 4: It's all lining up for them.

693
00:28:26,428 --> 00:28:29,868
Speaker 3: So either way, the storylines are so hot, and I mean,

694
00:28:29,908 --> 00:28:32,228
Speaker 3: the Bills need it for the standings, but the Cowboys

695
00:28:32,268 --> 00:28:34,668
Speaker 3: they need it for the actual airways and like the

696
00:28:34,748 --> 00:28:36,828
Speaker 3: media because everyone will be on that.

697
00:28:39,708 --> 00:28:42,588
Speaker 9: We are now joined by one of the best personalities

698
00:28:42,628 --> 00:28:45,108

Speaker 12: Ever achieve, just to be.

721
00:29:55,428 --> 00:29:58,708
Speaker 13: In a group of men that are doing great things

722
00:29:58,868 --> 00:30:02,748
Speaker 13: for usually people that they don't know and uh not

723
00:30:02,868 --> 00:30:06,348
Speaker 13: that it's hard to to do things for people. But

Speaker 13: you know, like in this world, like people make it

725
00:30:09,148 --> 00:30:12,508
Speaker 13: seem like it's it's hard to be a good person.

726
00:30:12,708 --> 00:30:16,828
Speaker 13: And uh, it's crazy how we're talking about getting an

727
00:30:16,868 --> 00:30:20,068
Speaker 13: award or something like that just for being a good person.

728

Speaker 13: the people in my community and even the people here

734
00:30:37,628 --> 00:30:40,508
Speaker 13: and in the building that that helped me and guide

735
00:30:40,588 --> 00:30:43,788
Speaker 13: me in so many ways of of where you know,

736
00:30:44,068 --> 00:30:45,148
Speaker 13: presence is needed.

737
00:30:45,908 --> 00:30:46,588
Speaker 2: It's beautiful.

738
00:30:46,628 --> 00:30:48,548
Speaker 5: You were that guy in New Jersey, you're that guy

739
00:30:48,548 --> 00:30:50,308
Speaker 5: at Temple, you're that guy in Buffalo, and you're a

740
00:30:50,348 --> 00:30:52,508
Speaker 5: special person and you've earned this and it's just an

741
00:30:52,508 --> 00:30:54,948
Speaker 5: awesome way to start this Friday morning. It's okay to

742
00:30:54,948 --> 00:30:57,268
Speaker 5: be nice, it's okay to be good and that should

743
00:30:57,388 --> 00:31:00,228
Speaker 5: rise above bat. That's really moving stuff, Dean. I look

744
00:31:00,268 --> 00:31:02,308
Speaker 5: at this team right now, coming off the bye. We've

745
00:31:02,308 --> 00:31:03,908
Speaker 5: talked about it on our show. We've picked it apart

746
00:31:03,908 --> 00:31:06,868
Speaker 5: a little bit. It's like the AFC, so many teams

747
00:31:06,908 --> 00:31:08,588
Speaker 5: could have won games and just put you guys in

748
00:31:08,948 --> 00:31:10,948
Speaker 5: and everyone just losing games. It's almost like they're keeping

749
00:31:10,988 --> 00:31:13,068
Speaker 5: the door open for you guys. And now you have

750
00:31:13,188 --> 00:31:16,908
Speaker 5: this stretch Chiefs, Cowboys, Chargers, Patriots, Dolphins.

751
00:31:16,948 --> 00:31:18,668
Speaker 2: It's doable. What is the.

752
00:31:18,628 --> 00:31:20,348
Speaker 5: Message coming out of the buy and as you head

753
00:31:20,348 --> 00:31:21,948
Speaker 5: to Arrowhead, a place that you've won two.

754
00:31:21,828 --> 00:31:28,188
Speaker 13: Times, well, the message coming out is UH is obviously

755
00:31:28,428 --> 00:31:29,228
Speaker 13: killer be killed.

756
00:31:29,348 --> 00:31:31,708
Speaker 12: But kind of just stand on business.

757
00:31:31,988 --> 00:31:35,148
Speaker 13: You know, we understand that that we have a job

758
00:31:35,868 --> 00:31:38,028
Speaker 13: and we were put here to and do a job,

759
00:31:38,068 --> 00:31:43,508
Speaker 13: and we're not losers. This organization has turned into something

760
00:31:43,548 --> 00:31:48,428
Speaker 13: different over the previous years, and UH and McDermott and

761
00:31:48,548 --> 00:31:50,708
Speaker 13: the and the crew have.

762
00:31:50,828 --> 00:31:51,948
Speaker 12: Us on that direction.

763
00:31:52,068 --> 00:31:55,268
Speaker 13: We we understand that we put that we put ourselves

764
00:31:55,308 --> 00:31:58,548
Speaker 13: in a position that you know, it's a little tougher

765
00:31:58,668 --> 00:32:01,468
Speaker 13: and it's hard to win games. But if we just

766
00:32:01,508 --> 00:32:03,708
Speaker 13: play the style of ball that we know how to,

767
00:32:04,188 --> 00:32:06,508
Speaker 13: if we allow Josh to be the person that he's

768
00:32:06,788 --> 00:32:10,188
Speaker 13: supposed to, if we protect and get those guys that

769
00:32:10,508 --> 00:32:12,268
Speaker 13: need that ball that ball.

770
00:32:12,348 --> 00:32:14,548
Speaker 12: Then we're going to be okay.

771
00:32:14,988 --> 00:32:17,228
Speaker 13: And we have to put one foot in front of

772
00:32:17,468 --> 00:32:20,268
Speaker 13: another and not look at it as a five week

773
00:32:20,348 --> 00:32:23,188
Speaker 13: run and look at it as a day run or

774
00:32:24,348 --> 00:32:28,308
Speaker 13: a weekly run, a single individual battle. It's easier to

775
00:32:28,388 --> 00:32:33,188
Speaker 13: win in the current situation than plan for you know,

776
00:32:34,308 --> 00:32:35,068
Speaker 13: ten weeks down.

777
00:32:35,228 --> 00:32:36,028
Speaker 12: You know, like we have.

778
00:32:36,028 --> 00:32:37,628
Speaker 13: To do it now, and we have to do it

779
00:32:37,668 --> 00:32:40,988
Speaker 13: one day at a time by mastering our individual processes.
