Well, 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:05.280 the Broncos, thinking they lost the Raiders are total embarrassment. 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:09.920 They lost to TV analysts. The Chargers I actually think 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:14.039 are dangerous, but they lost again. They're too banged up. Meanwhile, 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:21.000 the Chiefs Coast and bigger picture, all those mighty buffalo builds. 0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:28.440 Oh boy, so much to get to, including maybe the 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:33.560 single greatest gambling moment of my life. The only way 0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:37.560 yesterday could have been better is if my son was 0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.039 there to share it with me. However, Demanse had a 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.959 little staycation, got a little spot up in the what 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:47.119 are the the what are those mountains called? About an 0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.680 hour and a half north of New York. Uh, someone 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:51.320 will tell me. I forget the name of it. It's 0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.400 a beautiful spot. That lady come in from out of town, 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:59.200 the cat Skills. That's right, matt Ford. So Demanse, fresh 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:02.280 off a night's little staycation in the New York City area, 0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:04.760 here to work. Good to see you, buddy, net You 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:08.080 know what you want to show the evolution of our 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:13.160 working relationship. Never once doubt it checked on you where 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.000 you were at, worried about you not getting here? Not 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.480 a single moment of like, h, when's the mon taking 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:19.640 to get here? I knew he had a bit of 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.000 a drive to get down to the studio, no problem. 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.680 So let's get to what's not. By the way, that's 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.280 a lie. I was furiously checking your local No, I'm 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.440 just kidding. I believed in you, all right. Let's get 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:33.880 right to what missed the cut for today's show, Lakers 0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.240 Beat the Nets. Anthony Davis looked like Anthony Davis from 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:41.280 a few years ago. Embiid, This is not a hyperb 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.000 is not hyperbole. Joel Embiid had one of the greatest 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.480 regular season games anyone's had in the history of the sport. 0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:49.799 He had. He was two assists and three blocks away 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:53.240 from a quadruple nobble and had fifty nine points by 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:58.040 game scorer, which is basketball references kind of catch all statistic. 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:02.480 It was one of the ten best games regular season 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:07.120 or postseason anyone has played in the league in forty years. Wow, 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.680 that's what Joel Embiid did last night. Not on the show, 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:13.400 Roger Goodell says, four more years of games in Germany. 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.120 I don't know if it's in the show or not. Demas, 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.839 I told you about the flight. I told you about 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:21.240 the time change with the Seahawks. Yeah, and you were 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.400 still sleeping when that game kicked off. Seattle actually got 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:26.480 it together at the end, but you know what they 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:30.400 looked like, like they were sleepy, Like the time change 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:32.840 had really messed with him, I told you. And then 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:37.240 a quarterback controversy in Arizona. Oh, I'm so mad that 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:40.360 we weren't able to do picks once it was clear 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.600 it was going to be both backup quarterbacks. Now, I 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.400 did make a bet yesterday on the Cardinals plus three, 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.880 and the Cardinals went out right because they were both 0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:54.520 both starting quarterbacks were out Stafford and Kyler, and the 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:58.040 Cardinals hate Kyler, so I at least it appears that way. 0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:00.760 So none of that is actually on the show. But 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:05.920 what is on the show today is well, go ahead, demonse. 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:09.440 The Vikings Bill's possible Super Bowl preview was the game 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:10.320 of the year so far. 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.520 It was the game of the year. The Bill showed question. 0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.080 Bill choked away the game and are now third place 0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:16.559 in their own division dirt. 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.720 Wait, you mean the conference right in their own division 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.440 in the AFC's there's only four teams. Yeah, they're in third. 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:27.400 Oh my goodness, gracious magic Mountain. 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.560 Allen had one of the weirdest fumbles ever in his 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.640 own end zone and at the end of regulation the 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.160 game ended when he threw an interception in the Vikings 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:38.680 in the Vikings end zone and overtime finished the game 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:41.840 with three turnovers despite throwing for three hundred and thirty 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.960 yards and eighty four rushing. Those have now lost two 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.200 straight games and continue to prove that they can't win 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:50.400 close games. Is it time to start asking if Josh 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:51.840 Allen can win big games. 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.159 Well, there's a lot of questions we need to ask. 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:58.360 Here's the first question. When am I getting my apology? 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:04.800 When are they're going I need apologies or resignations from 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.679 fellow media members that said I was the biased, one 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.680 that said I was the one who refused to acknowledge 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:16.840 that that guy who leads the NFL on interceptions, who 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:20.240 leads the NFL in total turnovers, who leads the NFL 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:24.360 in interception to mumbles, combined that that guy was the 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:28.640 best quarterback in football. Give me a break. 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.239 I have a question. Yeah, do you think that Josh 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:32.160 Allen has Not to say that you were going to 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.640 compare him to Patrick Malomes or anything, but would you 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.240 say that Josh Allen has like a better surrounding cast 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:39.000 than Patrick Wells this year? 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:44.120 Yes, previous years now, Because what we're seeing is Tyreek 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.640 Hill might have actually been underrated in Kansas City, like 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.440 people thought of him as a top five receiver when 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:53.200 he's clearly, without a doubt, either the best or the 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:55.160 second best. The only reason I might say second best 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.159 is because of Justin Jefferson More on him in a moment, 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.000 but this year. Yeah, and we'll get to Mahomes later, 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.440 making Kadarius Tony look like the guy he was drafted 0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:08.440 to be, making it work with anybody and everybody. Second 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.720 most touchdown passes in football is twenty. Mahomes is at 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.400 twenty five. He's already at his by He's at twenty five. 0:06:15.640 --> 0:06:18.400 He's so we'll talk Chiefs later. But I want to 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:22.159 talk about the Bills. I want to talk about Josh Allen. 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:25.599 I want to talk about QB one in the NFL. 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.200 I want to talk about a guy. Yeah, put up 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:32.920 the tweet Magic Mountain. Allen back with a vengeance. Remember America, 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.400 you gotta be six or five and wildly overrated to 0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:40.440 get on this roller coaster. Hey guys, this was the game. 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:45.600 The Bills were up seventeen with less than seventeen minutes remaining. 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:50.000 You should win that game. The Vikings, then this is 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:53.320 not on. Josh Allen popped off an eighty yard touchdown 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:58.240 run on the first play after falling down seventeen, cut 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:02.880 it to ten. The Bills then drive the length of 0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:09.240 the field and Josh Allen makes his first abysmal decision 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:13.560 of the game. Throwing an interception in the end zone 0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:17.680 and then it gets returned, and Josh Allen, because he 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:21.480 just can't help himself, not only goes for the tackle 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.920 but leads with his injured throwing elbow and is laying 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:30.240 on the ground. However, it didn't He's big and strong 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.880 and powerful and tough, didn't seem to really affect him. 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:36.880 And then what happens, Oh my god, one of the 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:41.360 greatest moments of this NFL season. So the Vikings can't 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.320 get out of their own way because they're the Vikings. 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.760 Justin Jefferson makes one of the greatest catches you will 0:07:46.760 --> 0:07:50.760 ever see, and arguably, given the fact that it was 0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:53.400 on fourth and eighteen they ended up winning the game, 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.920 you could make the argument it's the greatest catch in 0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.280 NFL history. I'm gonna before I get on TV today, 0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:02.400 I'm gonna watch a compilation of the greatest catches in 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.760 nfella stree so I can determine if I actually think 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:08.679 it's the best. But my god, it's right there. And 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.760 but then they get to the goal line, Kirk Cousins trips, 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:17.640 they get stuffed, they score a touchdown, it gets called back. 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:21.720 They then sneak with Cousins don't get it. They're now 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:25.040 forty two seconds loot. The Bills are up by four. 0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.240 They have the ball, the Vikings of one timeout. The 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:33.120 Bills have to execute two snaps and they win the game. 0:08:34.480 --> 0:08:37.840 They didn't even get to the second snap because Josh 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:44.120 Allen fumbled in his own end zone. Fun fact. Fumbled 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.600 the quarterback center exchange. Fun fact. In the last decade 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:51.320 there have been two fumbles by a quarterback on his 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:55.000 own one yard line. Those fumbles were Josh Allen yesterday 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:59.440 and you guessed it Josh Allen in twenty twenty. So 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:04.280 the Vikings fall on it and score. Yep. It's like, 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:08.200 oh boy, they're gonna win the game. The Bills then 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:12.840 drive the field thanks to in part thanks to the 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.360 refs missing an obvious incompletion. They called it complete. They 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:19.199 didn't review it. It was clear that only the refs 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:21.360 can review inside two minus. They get the field goal. 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.520 Vikings then drive the field again, but they get stopped, 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:29.120 held to a field goal. Oh Buffalo, you can't blame 0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:33.000 the coin toss. Now, now you get the ball. Everything 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:34.959 you hoped for in that game against the Chiefs and 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:37.160 the playoffs when you whined and cried and you got 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:41.800 the rules changed and they have a second and ten 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:45.880 from the Vikings twenty. Tie is in the bag. And 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:50.840 keep in mind, if you're Buffalo, a tie is actually 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:55.320 not a total disaster because you were already the one seed, 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:58.120 so it's obviously not as good as a win, but 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:00.760 a tie at the end of the year could be 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:05.840 beneficial when it comes to your division. You don't mind 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.760 a tie because right now I don't want to get 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.120 into the math of it. But Miami, who's competing with 0:10:11.160 --> 0:10:13.160 you in the division, has the tiebreaker with you at 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:15.679 the moment. So if you guys finish with the same record, 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:20.240 then Miami's gonna get it anyway. But with a tie, 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.120 you can't finish with the same record. So but whatever, 0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:27.079 second and ten from the twenty, you're gonna have two 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.200 shots to the end zone, two shots to get a 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.840 first down, and then you kick a field goal. But 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:33.360 no one said they got one shot to the end 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:37.000 zone because all Josh, Josh threw another pick. So that's 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.720 three fourth quarter turnovers in a game you were up 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.440 seventeen with a minute and a half left in the third quarter. 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:48.520 And now I do a sober analysis of Josh Allen's career. 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.920 Year one, people thought he was a bust. People hated 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:58.360 the pick. When it happened, he was vindicating what the 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:04.240 critics said about him. Two steady legitimate improvement. The Bills 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.199 make the playoffs. In that playoff game, he throws the 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.079 latteral over the back of his head running down the 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:14.040 field for no reason. They lose. Year three, the biggest 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.360 leap we have seen from a quarterback from year two 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:21.600 to year three ever, with the only close second being 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:25.679 two of This year, they make the AFC Championship Game. 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.440 He almost wins the league MVP. They make the AFC 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:31.400 Championship Game, they lose to Mahomes. Year four, they go 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:34.360 into the season with preseason Super Bowl hype. He is 0:11:34.400 --> 0:11:38.360 a preseason MVP candidate. They beat the Chiefs early in 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:41.679 the regular season. They then go into a tailspin, lose 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:45.280 five of seven, get hot at the very end of 0:11:45.320 --> 0:11:48.880 the year. He plays amazing in the two playoff games, 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.439 kind of offset the fact that he didn't wasn't even 0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:54.360 a Pro bowler last year and Mac Jones was. But 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:56.560 they lose to the Chiefs. This year, they are the 0:11:56.720 --> 0:12:01.280 overwhelming Super Bowl favorites. He is the over MVP favorite 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:05.640 early in the year, they beat the Chiefs, and now 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:11.640 it looks like the tailspin is underway. Since beating the Chiefs, 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:13.800 they've played the Packers. They've played the Packers well for 0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:16.880 one half. Then they were up double digits on the 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:20.520 Jets and lost, and up double digits on the Vikings 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:26.760 and lost. And Josh Allen keeps throwing red zone interceptions. 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:34.640 So all I'm saying is I told you so that 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:38.520 there is a legitimate debate about who is the second 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:41.920 best quarterback in football, and he is in that debate. 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:46.240 There is no legitimate debate about who is the best 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:50.520 quarterback in football. He plays in Kansas City, he wears 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:54.640 number fifteen, and there will be no arguments otherwise. Next, 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:58.440 all right, now, oh wow, pole question, but do you 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:02.320 trust Josh Allen in a big game? Seventy percent say no, 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:06.920 thirty percent say yes. Yikes, how the Mighty have fallen? Next? 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:09.280 All right, Now to the two seed in the NFC 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.280 and the Vikings. After being down twenty seven to ten 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:16.040 late in the third, Minnesota scored three straight touchdowns. Justin 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:18.800 Jefferson had an all time catch on a huge fourth down. 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.240 Kirk Cousins was clutch when he had to be, and 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:24.440 they're always poison in these closed games. Man, the Vikings 0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.319 have a team of destiny, feels to them at being 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:26.880 eight and one. 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.040 All right, let me talk on the Jefferson catch for 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:33.400 a moment. It's it's impossible what he did. And I 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.840 know people like, oh, but they didn't score on that 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:38.440 drive because Kirk Cousins and getting stuck at the goal line. 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:41.840 That was fourth and eighteen. There's two minutes left, Vikings 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:43.520 have one time out. If he doesn't get that, the 0:13:43.520 --> 0:13:46.920 Bills win the game. Undeniable. I understand they didn't score, 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.320 but they got down to the inch line, which is 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:54.360 what set up the Josh Allen disaster. Right, it's an 0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.640 all time catch by a guy who was a chance 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:00.720 to be an all time player. There's just it is. 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:07.480 I think he and Tyree have separated themselves from every 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:11.920 other receiver in the league that they change the math 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:16.120 of how good the team can be. With that said, 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:21.320 do I look at them, Do I think they are 0:14:21.360 --> 0:14:24.640 as good as their record says they are. I don't do. 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:28.600 I still have some concerns, some significant concerns about Kirk Cousins, 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.080 who made a couple of boneheaded mistakes in this game 0:14:31.120 --> 0:14:36.800 as well. I do, and I understand Vikings fans feel 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.040 this is unfair, And you know what you should feel. 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:42.760 It's unfair. Your team is eight and one and your 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:47.640 one loss is to the undefeated Philadelphia Eagles. You should 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.360 feel like that you should be considered a top three 0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:52.920 team in football, that the three best teams in football, 0:14:52.960 --> 0:14:55.840 in some order or another, should be the Eagles, the Chiefs, 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.840 and the Vikings. And you are not quite getting that respect. 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:02.200 I'm telling you right now. It's not just me saying 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:08.120 here's one demanse this will be well. I don't want 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:14.480 to give it away. But next week the Vikings play 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:20.640 the Cowboys in Minnesota. Vikings at home against the Cowboys. 0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:23.080 We'll talk about the Cowboys in a moment. What do 0:15:23.120 --> 0:15:25.240 you think the points spread in that game is? What 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:26.160 do you think the line is? 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:28.000 Vikings versus Cowboys. 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:32.320 At home, Vikings versus Cowboys in Minnesota? In Minnesota? What 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.840 do you think of this? Vikings are eight one, Cowboys 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.320 are now six. 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.720 And three, Minnesota minus three and. 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:45.760 A half, Dallas minus two, oh Vegas. That that's the 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:50.200 point either, correct? So it is there is an odd 0:15:51.000 --> 0:15:56.920 thing happening right now where the Vikings. They win close games, 0:15:57.000 --> 0:15:59.960 and maybe the close games part is what people don't respect. 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.840 They beat the Dolphins, granted without two of them. They 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.280 crushed the Packers to start the year. They have played 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:11.960 a soft schedule, but the Bills at Buffalo was one 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:14.120 of the toughest games on anyone's schedule all year and 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:17.520 they just won coming back from seventeen down. Am I 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:20.600 ready to call them legitimate contenders? I'm sorry, I'm not. 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:24.360 If they were to get the one seed, if Philly 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:27.840 were to slip up and Minnesota all of a sudden 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.840 is guaranteed to have the games at home and a bye, 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:34.640 then I will look into calling them the favorites. However, 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:40.000 if they're the if they're the two seed and it's 0:16:40.040 --> 0:16:43.520 Sam Francisco going into their building to start the playoffs, 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:47.200 and then I and they have to win three straight 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.640 games to make it to the super Bowl, I don't 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.120 know that I believe in that. Justin Jefferson's unbelievable, and 0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.080 Kirk Cousins is just on the you're gonna have to 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.640 prove me wrong list, and I apologize for that. He also, 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:02.480 by the way, well Josh Allen has the most interceptions 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:06.359 of football. Kirk Cousins top three right now our top four, 0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:08.479 and he threw a couple in this game as well. 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.800 All right, next, all right? In a do or die 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:14.240 game for the Packers, Rogers proved that he hasn't completely washed. 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:18.480 But the Cowboys hack had multiple turnovers and multiple breakdowns 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:21.399 on defense leading into over into the overtime loss. Yeah, 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.080 they're now third in the NFC East and Mike McCarthy 0:17:24.119 --> 0:17:26.359 made a very sketchy decision to go for it on 0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:29.640 fourth and two and ot does this look a lot 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:32.480 worse for the Cowboys or then it looks good for 0:17:32.520 --> 0:17:33.080 the Packers? 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:37.520 I think so. I said on TV Friday that if 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:41.960 the Packers win, I'm not gonna sit here and say, oh, 0:17:42.000 --> 0:17:44.200 the Packers are back. I don't think they're back now. 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:49.959 That rookie receiver Christian Watson right first play of their season, 0:17:50.320 --> 0:17:52.720 they scrapped up a seventy five yard bomb to him. 0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:55.800 He's open, he drops it. He didn't have a single 0:17:55.840 --> 0:18:00.199 touchdown catch all year. He had three yesterday, and his 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.760 speed and athleticism and ability to get opened that could 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:08.200 help Green Bay immensely. However, this was more an indictment 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:10.960 on Dallas than it was a compliment to Green Bay. 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:14.120 In my opinion, that's scary. Dallas's run defense has been 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:18.320 their one problem throughout the season, and then questions about 0:18:18.960 --> 0:18:22.600 you know is Dak? How good is Dak is? Really? 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:26.000 And Dak had a couple bad interceptions early when it 0:18:26.000 --> 0:18:28.360 looked like the Cowboys were just going to be able 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:30.400 to run away and hide in this game they went 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.400 up seven to nothing, Rogers fumbled, they had the ball 0:18:33.440 --> 0:18:36.120 inside the twenty, Dak threw a pick that he then 0:18:36.200 --> 0:18:39.520 threw another pick immediately after. I understand Seelamb might have 0:18:39.560 --> 0:18:42.480 run the wrong route, still back to back picks, But 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:49.119 the real reason people don't believe in Dallas is I 0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:51.639 guess it's twofold. One is questions about Dak, but the 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:56.000 other is the coach. And McCarthy's decision to not kick 0:18:56.040 --> 0:19:01.720 the field goal in overtime was bafflington. And you here's 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:04.359 the other problem. It was third and three, third and four, 0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:06.920 they're on the thirty five yard line, so it'll be 0:19:06.920 --> 0:19:09.080 a fifty two yard field goal. I understand it's outdoors 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:13.680 and it's cold, but that's in your kickers range. However, 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:16.600 if you think you're right on the edge of the 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:20.560 range and you're not gonna kick it, or you might 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.600 not kick it. How do you not run the ball 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.560 on third and three to see if you pick it 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:29.680 up because they're expecting a pass, or get it if 0:19:29.720 --> 0:19:32.080 you know you're going for it on fourth, try to 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:34.760 get it to where it's fourth and one and you 0:19:34.800 --> 0:19:37.760 have everything available to you. It didn't seem to me 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:40.600 by their play call on third they knew they were 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:44.040 going for it on fourth. That's problematic in my opinion. 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:47.440 Like the one of the benefits of going for it 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:50.840 on fourth downs is you do have a lot more 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.440 flexibility on third downs. It can be third and seven 0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:56.760 and you can run the ball. Third and three, you 0:19:56.920 --> 0:19:59.280 certainly can run the ball. But here's the other thing, 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:04.879 after you don't get it. That Cowboys defense is supposed 0:20:04.920 --> 0:20:07.439 to be the calling card. It's supposed to You had 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:10.200 a fourteen point lead in the fourth quarter with that 0:20:10.320 --> 0:20:14.320 Cowboys defense. Micah Parsons, I'm told is Lawrence Taylor. Now, 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.440 I think Michael Parsons excellent, But it's I like Green 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:20.320 Bay's offense has been humming all year. They've been doing nothing. 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:24.560 You let green Bay have its first explosive scoring game 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:30.919 of the year, Yet you had a coaching Every potential 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:33.240 red flag for the Cowboys popped up in this game. 0:20:33.560 --> 0:20:37.360 McCarthy did McCarthy's stuff. Dak made some bonett of mistakes 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:39.840 and the defense, I don't want to say got exposed 0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:43.879 but didn't exactly bathe itself in glory. All of that 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:46.639 is problematic if you want me to believe in the 0:20:46.640 --> 0:20:49.800 Cowboys as a super Bowl team. And now here's the 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:55.359 other thing. I the Cowboys are going to make the playoffs, 0:20:55.880 --> 0:20:59.400 but do I trust Dalla. Dallas is still yet going 0:20:59.400 --> 0:21:02.840 into yesterday, was another team that was gonna have an 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:08.680 outside shot of the one seed because they get Philly again, right, 0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:12.000 and Philly is the again. It was gonna be hard. 0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:13.720 But Philly has played the Giants again. They have to 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:16.439 play them. There was going to be they have played 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:19.440 Washington twice. Washington all of a sudden, not a total pushover. 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.520 Philly was going to have a couple losses coming up. 0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:26.720 And if Dallas, you know, could have beaten them, could 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:29.720 have handled the Giants, they were there. Now if the 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:35.360 playoffs start today, Dallas is the sixth seed. And so 0:21:35.400 --> 0:21:38.399 that's a bad loss. It's a bad loss in particular 0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:41.080 because you had control of the game twice. You had 0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:43.240 control of the game up seven to nothing, the Packers 0:21:43.280 --> 0:21:45.399 on the ball over chance to go up fourteen nothing. 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:48.199 You controlled the game again up twenty eight fourteen in 0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:51.280 the fourth quarter. So that's a bad loss, by the way. 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:54.840 Previous poll question you can ask or give comments or 0:21:54.880 --> 0:21:56.840 ask questions in the chat. We'll do those in the sea. 0:21:56.840 --> 0:22:00.680 Bloff was justin Jefferson's catch the best catch ever, sixty 0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:05.600 seven percent say yes, I there are a couple catches 0:22:05.640 --> 0:22:08.960 in the Super Bowl that the helmet catch, obviously the 0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:13.040 Tyree catch kept the Super Bowl alive. And thought that 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:17.000 one with the guy this when he was on the Patriots, 0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:20.199 the ball was like falling. So I was about to 0:22:20.200 --> 0:22:22.439 say that those are the two catches in the Super 0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:26.080 Bowl that they kept the game alive and that team 0:22:26.160 --> 0:22:28.800 ended up going on to win. Those catchers are the 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:34.119 most important catches ever. This style points and the importance 0:22:34.240 --> 0:22:36.680 was super about as important as a catch can be 0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:41.120 in a regular season game. So on that scale it's 0:22:41.160 --> 0:22:43.480 a ten out of ten, but obviously pales and comparison 0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:46.760 to a playoff game or a Super Bowl. But on 0:22:46.880 --> 0:22:50.159 degree of difficulty, the only thing that comes close to 0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:53.399 this is the Odell catch. The Odell catch in this catch. 0:22:53.760 --> 0:22:59.600 So the Tyreean Edelman catches are at the very very 0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:04.640 top of the list. But if you remove the added 0:23:04.680 --> 0:23:08.080 bonus points you get from it being in the Super Bowl. 0:23:07.880 --> 0:23:10.960 This would be the best catchup all right. Last one, 0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:14.159 Jeff Saturday. Jeff Saturday's Colts went on the road and 0:23:14.240 --> 0:23:17.520 shocked the Raiders. Sorry about your picks, listen, Hey buddy 0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:18.120 expected that. 0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:21.760 Hey, well, I'll explain in them all. By the way, 0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:24.160 Washington governors to night. We have another winning weeks back 0:23:24.200 --> 0:23:26.560 to the best winning week. So we're just frowing for you. 0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:27.359
