1
00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Your tunes about Drive on your twenty four to seven

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: Home of the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: Good evening, Steeler Nation, How you doing. That's good us too,

4
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: our number two here of the Drive on your twenty

5
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: four to seven home of the Black and Gold. West

6
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:28,680
Speaker 2: Shuler and Matt Williamson with you as we continue to

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,520
Speaker 2: recap Stellar's twenty seven Baltimore twenty two and a much

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 2: needed win for your Pittsburgh Steelers. And it is funny, Matt,

9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 2: You're right. I mean, it would be a completely different

10
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: show today for a lot of reasons if the Steelers

11
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 2: would have lost that game, but one of them would

12
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,520
Speaker 2: have certainly been if some of those fifty to fifty

13
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: call moments would have gone the other way. And so

14
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 2: let's kind of go through them and chronologically timeline wise

15
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: here and talk about it.

16
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: Best to remember the specifics here.

17
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: Yes, So fortunately I took more notes this game than usual.

18
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 2: We had a we had a lighter broadcast booth, and

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: so because of that, typically we have six people in

20
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: the booth. There was only four, and so Dan and

21
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 2: I were kind of pulling double duty. Dan was helping

22
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: spot and do stats. He kind of sat in between

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: Rob and Max and helped them spot with you know,

24
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: who's making the tackles, which running backs subbing in wins

25
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 2: Adam feeling in the game when that's just kind of

26
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: the job of the spot like Derrick Henry, Derrick Henry

27
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: checks out and like I point to the depth chart

28
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: for Rob to whichever running back the Ravens put, you know,

29
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,639
Speaker 2: put it, you know, exactly right the first the first

30
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 2: play of the game, Like I'm pointing at Adam Feeling

31
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: on his on his on his card because like, hey,

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 2: he's in there. First play the game, sixteen mv S

33
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:50,919
Speaker 2: comes in for the first time, you know, just stuff

34
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: like just basic stuff like that when you're you know,

35
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 2: when you're Rob King and your tunnel vision on calling

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 2: the game and you know, all of a sudden, it's

37
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: a different running back all of a sudden, and you

38
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: know who made that tackle. It's tough to tell, and

39
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: I could see clearly that it was Brandon Eckles, you know,

40
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: things like that. So's Dan's kind of sitting in between

41
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: Max and Rob. He's doing stats and helping spot. I'm

42
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: sitting on Rob's left, So it's like me, Rob, Dan,

43
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 2: Max in the booth and I'm kind of helping Rob's

44
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: spot and just keeping an eye and you know, helping

45
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: as I helping as I can. Because of that, because

46
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: I was doing more than I typically do on a Yeah,

47
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: I took more notes because I was just like, what

48
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: if I don't remember all the details, what if I forget?

49
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: You know, like, I'm doing a little bit more. Let's

50
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: make sure I'm keeping everything in chronological order and in

51
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 2: the timeline and everything here. So here's how it played out.

52
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 2: Second quarter was the first one. Steelers are up ten

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 2: to three and they're driving. They stall out the six

54
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: yard line. I have in my notes here. Uh oh wait,

55
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: sorry part of me. Steelers stall out, kick a field

56
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 2: goal from the six yard line that pushes their lead

57
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: to ten to three. Okay, so that was in the

58
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: second quarter of steel are up seven to three, they drive,

59
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: they stall out the six yard line, kick a field goal.

60
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: They're up ten to three. Next possession, James was the

61
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: James Pierre interception.

62
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 3: Nice.

63
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, that set the Steelers up with good field position.

64
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 2: And I have in my notes here another red zone

65
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: field goal thirteen to three. Wait, penalty, personal foul you

66
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: can't touch Christian Coontz. One play later, Kenneth Gainwell finds

67
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: the end zone. Instead of thirteen three, it's now seventeen

68
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: to three.

69
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 3: I thought that was a little ticky tack.

70
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: I thought that was a little ticky tacking, Yeah, because

71
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: it was almost like he was making contact with whoever

72
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: was beside Coons, yes, and just kind of throughout the

73
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: nature of the play ended up bumping into him. So

74
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like I get it, those guys are

75
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: a protected species, the long snappers in that in that scenario,

76
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: but is it like you literally can't touch them at all,

77
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: or the carl alarm goes off, or like you just

78
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: can't make.

79
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: I think football players and you're gonna get bounced around

80
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 3: and they're two hundred fifty pounds, and I don't know,

81
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: I mean, maybe the letter of law it was a flag,

82
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: But I even think whoever the the ref on the

83
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: air was like, I don't think I'll throw in that one,

84
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: and I agree coming to that one. To me, was

85
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: they kind of missed that call. I think they got

86
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 3: right in the end.

87
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 2: I thought it was a little ticky tacky. I didn't

88
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: think it was an egregious call. No, I didn't think

89
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 2: it was one hundred percent They got it right. I

90
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: just thought it's a little tick or in a game

91
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: like this, it's a.

92
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 3: Game like this on the six yard line or whatever too.

93
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: I'm that's a big swing.

94
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 2: If I'm going to hand the team the ball back

95
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 2: in a goal to go situation, first down, it better

96
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: be a pretty clear cut egregious. I have to throw

97
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 2: a flag on that, But it ends up working in

98
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: the Steelers favors, so instead of thirteen to three, they

99
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: make the lead seventeen to three. The Ravens respond and

100
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,159
Speaker 2: score a touchdown, but they missed the extra point, so

101
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: seventeen to nine. Big dravet for the Ravens to make

102
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: it a one score game before the half. But it

103
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 2: was also a big moment for me personally, because if

104
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 2: the Steelers don't end up converting a touchdown with Kenneth

105
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: Gainwell and it's thirteen to three, then the Ravens scored

106
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: that touch down, they missed the extra point, and it's

107
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: thirteen to nine, and I get you in seven hundred

108
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: other people texting me, yeah, thirteen nine thirteen nine, thirteen

109
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 2: nine thirteen nine. So thanks to the referee in that

110
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: moment for making sure that that didn't happen. That worked

111
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: out very well for me. Chris Carter would have probably

112
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: ran down from the press box to tap me on

113
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: the shoulder just to tell me thirteen to nine here.

114
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: So that was the first one that was in the

115
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: towards the back half of the second quarter, because the

116
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: Ravens had one more drive to go down to the

117
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: field to score that touchdown make it a one score

118
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 2: game before the half. The other two moments both happened

119
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter. So in the fourth quarter, Ravens

120
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 2: kick a field goal to make it twenty seven to nineteen,

121
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 2: to make it a one score game for the Steelers

122
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: once again. Steelers. I can't remember they went three and

123
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 2: out or got one first down, but they end up

124
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 2: hunting back to Baltimore. Baltimore drives and kicks another field

125
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: goal to make it twenty seven to twenty two. So

126
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: too early.

127
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: This is where I'm starting to worry, by the way,

128
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 3: like same offensive stalling. It seems like the Ravens' offense

129
00:05:58,920 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 3: is moving the ball.

130
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, same here, Like hey, you've you know at that point,

131
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 2: you've scored some points in the in the uh in

132
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: the second half, right, like you've you've scored ten points

133
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 2: in the second half. So it's not like you've been

134
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: completely inepp It just felt like the momentums moving in

135
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 2: the other direction. There's a lot of time left here

136
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: for Baltimore.

137
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 3: Steelers defensive played too many plays and I've seen this

138
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 3: story before.

139
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 2: And the offense was was humming for a while, but

140
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: now they're struggling.

141
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 3: Lamar was getting a little The crowd, which had been

142
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 3: relatively for a Raven's crowds harsh on the Ravens for

143
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: the broadcasting her many booze in that building.

144
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 2: The first half. They were rough on the team third quarter,

145
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: Like when the Steelers went up twenty seven to sixteen

146
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: in the third quarter.

147
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: It sounded like whoa, Yeah, there were not a.

148
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: Lot, but there were like a few Ravens fans that

149
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: got up and left at that point, right, Not a lot,

150
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 2: you know, but maybe a thousand or two.

151
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: But that place was not happy.

152
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 2: But that place was not happy. The vibes were low,

153
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 2: as they might say. But they kick back to back

154
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: field goals in quick secession, make it a one score,

155
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: one possession game again, and that place is starting to

156
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: come alive a little bit. Yeah, and then Aaron throws

157
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: the interception on the deflective. Deflected pass sets the Steelers

158
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 2: up in Ravens tear and sets the Ravens up part

159
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 2: of me in Steelers territory, and that place went from

160
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: angry and hostile to celebrate. I mean, you know what

161
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 2: I mean to like, you know how that works. You've

162
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: been in those stadiums. Everybody's been in those stadiums at

163
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: that moment where it turns.

164
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: Fast as you can imagine a lightning strike, and.

165
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: And it was like, oh my goodness, this place is alive.

166
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 2: The Steelers are falling apart. You know, we're all like

167
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: at that point, and and I'm in my mind thinking,

168
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: and I said this to Max when we were in

169
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 2: commercial break, kind of waiting for everything to play out.

170
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's our luck right there, in a nutshell.

171
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: If Aaron Rodgers has a healthy left wrist, he probably

172
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: is able to hold onto that ball. But he's got

173
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: a compromise left wrist, he gets it. I'm like, that's

174
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 2: the inches, that's the minutia, that's the margins of victory

175
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 2: right there.

176
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: Three weeks ago, it's better.

177
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: Than and then they review it and they overturn it,

178
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: and hey, you still go three and out back to

179
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: back three and outs there and punt the ball back

180
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: a field position difference is massive.

181
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's probably points real quick on that play.

182
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 2: I didn't think that was a terrible call, but again

183
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 2: I didn't think it was an absolute slam dunk.

184
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 3: Oh that's the right call either. I thought it was

185
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 3: the right call. Initially I did not same with the

186
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: likely touchdown, by the way.

187
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: Because remember it had to be overturned, right, so which

188
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: means you need conclusively watch it.

189
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: Again the ball with a knee on the ground, which

190
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: is total fluky, and I bet Rogers would even tell you,

191
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: especially with his compromised left hand bat that thing to

192
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 3: the ground. I'm not sure why he tried to catch

193
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 3: it first of all, amongst the trees and all these

194
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 3: people trying to take your head off. So I don't

195
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 3: think that was a good decision by him. Of what

196
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 3: do I do after the bat comes back at me.

197
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 3: It's just what that thing the nowheresville because there's the

198
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,439
Speaker 3: chances you're going to catch it and make a play,

199
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 3: I mean, slim and next to nothing. But frankly, I

200
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: think the Steelers got lucky because he happened to catch

201
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 3: it with a knee on the ground. Yes, I mean

202
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 3: it was down to like the mill.

203
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: That's a that's a good way, that's a good Yeah.

204
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you got kind of lucky. It wasn't

205
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 3: like it was a good play. I think there was

206
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 3: the right call after watching it over and over they

207
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: showed it a million times.

208
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, again, that's one to me that in the moment,

209
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: I thought they're just going to say inconclusive evidence. Oh

210
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: I thought.

211
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: I didn't think it get overturned. Yeah, that's a lot

212
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: to overturn, but it's pretty clear.

213
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: So even at that point, it's the things aren't going well.

214
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: At this point, things are still not going well. That's

215
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: your second of back to back three and outs. Again,

216
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 2: the field position is a massive difference, massive, huge difference,

217
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 2: but you still end up putting the ball back to them.

218
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: And at that.

219
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 3: Clock at this point, and they're running a lot of plays.

220
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: And at that point the crowd was alive and pissed.

221
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, they feel like we just got hard

222
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: done in the Ravens.

223
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

224
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: That was the Ravens fifth possession of the second half.

225
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: At that point, they had gone touchdown, touchdown field goldfield goal.

226
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that was the Ravens. That was Baltimore's fifth

227
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: possession of the of the second half. They had gone touchdown, touchdown, field,

228
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 2: goalfield goal.

229
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 3: They're playing better still and the crowd is upset that

230
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 3: they didn't get that call, but they still think we

231
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 3: got this.

232
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 2: And now they're kind of upset and even more into

233
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 2: it in a weird.

234
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: Way, and they hate the Steelers. Weren't anybody, you know,

235
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,119
Speaker 3: it's not like that's the Bears in towner.

236
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 2: So they knew how big of a game it was

237
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: as well. They get a big fourth down conversion, huge

238
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: play Tosea Flowers on third and long. They're rolling Isaiah

239
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 2: likely touchdown, Yeah, Ravens take the lead. Oh no, here

240
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: we go. But Pasey at the end he knocks it

241
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: out there still didn't play and it ends up again.

242
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 2: They go to review it and it gets overturned. The

243
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 2: original call on the field gets overturned, and then you

244
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 2: get your and and what was the moment of the

245
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: game not just overturned there, but then Patrick Queen breaks

246
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 2: up the pass at the goal line to get you

247
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 2: your first stop of the second half in that moment,

248
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 2: and then.

249
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 3: The turn of events is it's not like they scored

250
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 3: next play and nobody cares, right, Yeah.

251
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly right. Like so the air and interception one

252
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: is a little different because at least you end up

253
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: punting them the ball back. It's a big field field

254
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: position discrepancy.

255
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 3: But it wasn't clearly seven points.

256
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: And it wasn't clearly taking a touchdown off the board.

257
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 2: And then full credit to Patrick Queen on that next play,

258
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: and he made some checks and and played probably his

259
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 2: best game of the season as well, not just number

260
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: eight for the Steelers playing his best, but I think

261
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: number six in that moment, need it on the road

262
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: against his old team, clearly not one hundred healthy. And

263
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 2: he makes the check there in that play to and

264
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 2: and and breaks up the pass at the goal line. Hey,

265
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 2: you still had a quick three and out after that,

266
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 2: and the Ravens had another opportunity. But Matt, that that

267
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 2: one is again, I don't think it's completely the right call.

268
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 2: I don't think it's completely the wrong call. Yeah, I

269
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 2: think I'm just surprised that they overturned it in that moment.

270
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 3: I'm surprised they overturned.

271
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 2: And I don't think that's agregious either. I think it's

272
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: terrible that they overturned it. I was just surprised that

273
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: they did so.

274
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 3: So I would preface this by saying, if that was

275
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 3: friar muth, not likely, I'd be I'd be pretty upset

276
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 3: and be like, what on earth.

277
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: Were we I'd be like, this is Jesse James all over.

278
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 3: And maybe the NFL even needs inspect this, you know,

279
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 3: because that's that looks like a touchdown. It smells like

280
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: a touchdown, It walks like a doc, it talks like

281
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 3: a duck, you know what I mean. Like, but we've been.

282
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: Doing this with with what's a catch and what's not

283
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: a catch for twelve years.

284
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 3: Now, and I was thinking the end zone, all you

285
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 3: got to do is just break the plane. Rules are

286
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 3: different in the end zone, but apparently they aren't in

287
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: that instance. You do have to complete the catch. And

288
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 3: I hate that the league's gotten to this extreme. But

289
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 3: when you break it down frame by frame, I think

290
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 3: it's the right call. I don't know if it's enough

291
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 3: to overturn, but it's that's you know what I mean.

292
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 3: But I think it's the right call. We can argue

293
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 3: about the rules.

294
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 2: And other rules, thought it was the right call.

295
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 3: The pursueder said on the morning show, he was.

296
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: Because he's a western Pennsylvania hammer.

297
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, again it's the Birdies, but that was a

298
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 3: huge one. I don't think the Ravens got screwed, you

299
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 3: know what I mean, It's not like, no, man, what

300
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 3: a terrible call.

301
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 2: I think it's fair. I think it's fair to say

302
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 2: we were a little unfortunate in that department. You know,

303
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 2: if you if you're if we're Baltimore.

304
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 3: We're Baltimore Nation fortunate.

305
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think I'd be saying, hey, two

306
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty calls there in the fourth quarter, neither

307
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: went your way, but you still forced a quick three

308
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 2: and out, had plenty of time, got the ball back

309
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 2: and could have won the game. You still had the

310
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: fourth down play, you know, stop at the goal.

311
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

312
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, And and so I just I so infrequently think

313
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 2: that the referees really decide a game.

314
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 3: I tend to agree, right right, especially in today's day

315
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 3: and age, when you can buzz down and even.

316
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: That you remember the most famous of all of them,

317
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 2: that twenty seventeen NFC Championship game in New Orleans against

318
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 2: the Rams, where there was that call so bad that

319
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 2: that my blind dog, my dog only at home, who

320
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 2: can barely see. It's like blind in one eye, can

321
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: barely see out of the other eye. Could have made

322
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 2: that pass interference call in the Superdome in the NFC

323
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: Championship game, it doesn't get called. The game ends up

324
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 2: going to overtime, The Rams win, the Saints. You know,

325
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 2: Saints get eliminated and act like a bunch of babies

326
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: the entire offseason and throw a parade in New Orleans

327
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: where they're all dressing up as blind refs and all that,

328
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 2: all that controversy. What no one talks about is that

329
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 2: when the game went to overtime, the Saints won the

330
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: coin toss and had the ball first, and these were

331
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: and these were still the old overtime rules, So all

332
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 2: the Saints had to do is get a couple of

333
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: first downs to kick a field goal, and you still

334
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: win the game. What no one talks about is the

335
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 2: Saints had a ten point lead in the fourth to

336
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: open the fourth quarter in that game. They just hyper

337
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: focus on the one terrible call, which was which was

338
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 2: a terrible call, but not how New Orleans still had

339
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: ample opportunities to win that game. Yeah, exactly, And that's

340
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 2: kind of where I come down.

341
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 3: To the Ravens still could have won this game.

342
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 2: The Ravens still could have won this game. But I

343
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: will also preface it, or just follow it up or

344
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 2: wrap it up by saying, yeah, I'd be I'd be

345
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: a little ticked off if the shoe was on the other.

346
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: Our tone would be different if those two calls went different.

347
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 3: And I have a feeling now, I don't know one

348
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 3: hundred percent the Steelers were lost, but their chances would

349
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 3: have greatly diminished, would.

350
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 2: Have swung the other way big time.

351
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 3: Big time, because I mean again, in the second half,

352
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 3: I thought the Ravens were the better team for the game.

353
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 3: I thought the Steelers were the best, great team, and

354
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: the right team won. But I understand where the Ravens

355
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: are coming from.

356
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: Oh Man, not only UH some controversy and some important

357
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 2: results at M and T Banks Stadium in Baltimore, but

358
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: across the entire National Football League. Let's run the gam

359
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 2: But when we get back here on the other side,

360
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: as we now have a clear playoff picture and UH

361
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: and plenty to discuss from all of yesterday's action, we'll

362
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 2: do that when we returned. Was Shuler Matt Williamson, it's

363
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 2: the drive on Steelers Nation Radio on the Steelers Audio Network,

364
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 2: your two Weeks.

365
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: About Drive on your twenty four to seven home of

366
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: the Black and Goal Steelers Nation Radio.

367
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 2: Back on the drive here on a Monday, as that

368
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: road is getting narrower and narrower, Matt Williamson, let's start.

369
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: We'll go chronological order and kind of run the gambit

370
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 2: here of a massive Sunday around the NFL, a huge

371
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: Week fourteen that saw some rise and some fall and

372
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: playoff pictures starting to get a little bit clear, but

373
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 2: still plenty to play for in Atlanta, Matt, Not a

374
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 2: lot of surprise here. The Seahawks cruise to a comfortable

375
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: victory over the Falcons thirty seven to nine, to continue

376
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: to prove that they're one of the best teams in

377
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: the NFL YEP, and that every time they play an

378
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 2: East Coast one o'clock game, you should take them to win,

379
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 2: no problem, no questions, asked a lot of.

380
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: Things, a lot of time on that one. But the

381
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 3: first it started out pretty back and forth and pretty even,

382
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 3: and then they just put the hammer down.

383
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 2: Jsn's a monster.

384
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 3: He's a monster.

385
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 2: B Jeon Robinson ran for eighty six of the more

386
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 2: impressive yards I've seen.

387
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 3: In my life fighting for him. He was fight.

388
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 2: He ran. He had like four point something yards per carried.

389
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: It's like the most impressive four point one million carry

390
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 2: you've ever seen in your life.

391
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 3: My goodness, set he's really good.

392
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 2: And yeah, and I think the only thing for Seattle

393
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: that was going to hold them back from being a

394
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: real bonafide not Super Bowl contender, but Super Bowl favorite

395
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 2: was the form of Sam Darnold, which had been a

396
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: little down for a few weeks. Yep, he looked more

397
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: like himself. Twenty to thirty, two fifty passing three touchdowns.

398
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, So then the Seattle is in a really

399
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 3: good spot right now.

400
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,720
Speaker 2: They certainly are. I went to the grocery store this morning.

401
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 2: I was wearing, you know, my Steelers gear on the

402
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 2: On the way in here, some guys like, hey, a

403
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 2: big win for the Steelers yesterday.

404
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 4: You know.

405
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 2: One of the guys work and we start chatting and

406
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 2: he's like, he's like, I'm I'm a Seahawks fan. He goes,

407
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 2: but I really love DK Metcalf. I love because I'm

408
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: from I'm from Washington. I moved out here seven or

409
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 2: eight years ago. I really still love DK metcalf. I

410
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 2: was excited to see him have a big game yesterday

411
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: and I was like, how about JSN huh. He was like, dude,

412
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: he's unbelievable. So yeah, big, big one for the Seahawks

413
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,120
Speaker 2: and they are certainly one of the favorites here as

414
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 2: we get closer and closer to the postseason. A crazy

415
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 2: one Matt in the snow, in the weather, high scoring

416
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 2: up in Buffalo at Orchard.

417
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 3: Park, snow like didn't slow them down at all.

418
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: Thirty nine to thirty four. The Bills come back twenty

419
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: one fourth quarter points to come back and beat the Bengals.

420
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 2: This was one of those if you're thirty one NFL teams,

421
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 2: it was a lot of fun to watch. If you're

422
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 2: the Bengals, you're kicking yourself because it's the story of

423
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 2: what has happened all season. But man, quarterback masterclass from

424
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 2: both teams.

425
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: It was like aldi frasier quarterback play.

426
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 2: And again like that in that weather, that type of environment.

427
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: Just a lot of fun to watch from a neutral perspective.

428
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 2: And Buffalo hangs on and gets it done.

429
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, and they made a huge defensive score, which which

430
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 3: was probably the difference in the game. Allen was as

431
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 3: good as I've ever seen him, but Burrow wasn't any worse.

432
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 3: And they got Higgins back and Chase back, and I

433
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: guess the bottom line is the Bengals are done.

434
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: You know, Bengals are now done.

435
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 3: It'd be nice. I assume they'll still play hard and

436
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 3: maybe they can knock off the Ravens. Buffalo's doing some

437
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 3: good things at the right time too, Maybe they're maybe

438
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 3: they're the best team in the AFC all of a sudden,

439
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 3: you know, which should chock No. One.

440
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 2: No, that's a crazy game, crazy game and a lot

441
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 2: of fun in that classic Orchard Park snowy environment up

442
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 2: there in New York. In Cleveland, a surprising one here.

443
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 2: Matt as the Titans a strong second half to take

444
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: down the Browns thirty one to twenty nine. Shudorg Sanders

445
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 2: played pretty well, they played, Miles Garrett got another sack,

446
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 2: They get launched closer and closer to straight and TJ's record.

447
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 2: And you know, in a weird way, if you're the

448
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 2: Browns and or maybe a Browns fan, maybe this isn't

449
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 2: the worst result ever, because sure just pushes you up

450
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 2: the draft order a little bit. But another fun one

451
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: between these two.

452
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 3: It was actually a pretty good It wasn't fourteen.

453
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: To ten ugly. Someone has to win type game.

454
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 3: I mean this was super low over under. I think

455
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 3: super low.

456
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, the low thirty six, like the Titans almost hit themselves. Yeah,

457
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: it's like thirty five and a half, thirty six and

458
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: a half, a fun back and forth game between two

459
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: of the worst teams in the National.

460
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 3: Football If this was Week one, it'd be like, oh,

461
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 3: these two rookie quarterbacks are fun and maybe these teams

462
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 3: are better than we thought. Yeah right, yeah. Yeah. The

463
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 3: headlines though, are Titans no longer of the first overall

464
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: pick right now goes to the Giants and did nothing

465
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 3: now owns number one, neither of which would probably take

466
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 3: a quarterback and shoudor he was an Oustay, he's gonna

467
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 3: be the start of the rest of the year. That's

468
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 3: not surprising. But he took a big step forward.

469
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 2: Leaking one that to continue with Steelers fans, I think, so, yeah,

470
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 2: one less team in front of you, Yeah, in the quarterback.

471
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 3: That would be wonderful. And maybe Shock even did it

472
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 3: with the.

473
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 2: H a minute And that was one of the more

474
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: surprising results of the weekend, but the most lopsided result

475
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 2: of the weekend. Matt was in Minnesota where the Vikings.

476
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 3: Maybe they're I mean again, maybe McCarthy can put a

477
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 3: couple of weeks together here to get out of the

478
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 3: quarterback market.

479
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 2: For one, put down the Commander's thirty one to nothing.

480
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 3: Somehow some neptitude by Washington too incredible.

481
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 2: Somehow Justiels got hurt, Justin Jefferson only had two receptions

482
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: for eleven yards, And how do they score thirty one

483
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 2: points on it when that happens. But yeah, the big

484
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 2: story of this is Jayden and Daniels getting hurt again.

485
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 3: It was his bad arm that he same left And

486
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 3: I mean there's some Monday morning quarterbacking hindsight here, But

487
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 3: sure you really been out there, you know if all

488
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 3: you had to do, I mean I think he just

489
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 3: braced himself on his bad arm, yes, and then he's out.

490
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 3: You know, if that was all it took, should he

491
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 3: been out there?

492
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 2: You know, probably not.

493
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 3: But they're not in a good spot right now. They're

494
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 3: not beating anybody.

495
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: No, they are not, and they might be in that

496
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 2: top pick conversation. Yeah, before it's all said and done,

497
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: Dolphins go to MetLife and continue to look impressive, continue

498
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,919
Speaker 2: to win, continue to put up numbers on offense, thirty

499
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 2: four to ten. They trounce the Jets, the Steelers next opponent.

500
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 2: Matt playing as well as they have all seasons, certainly,

501
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 2: and you know, in one of the best, you know,

502
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 2: forms of any team in the National Football League.

503
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've turned things around. So they fired their GM.

504
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 3: And I'm not sure if that's why it happened, because

505
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 3: he doesn't influence, you know, he's tack that. But they've

506
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 3: been four and oh since they beat the Bills, and

507
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 3: then they've had three bad opponents that they've beat. But

508
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 3: they become very run centric. They're taking a lot off

509
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 3: to his plate. Both lines of scrimmage are playing a

510
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 3: lot better, they're making a lot fewer errors. And frankly,

511
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 3: what happened here is a chan's like their entire offense.

512
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,160
Speaker 2: Yes, and he gets out hurt standing.

513
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 3: He's an outstanding He got hurt early in the second quarter.

514
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 3: He was like the driving force of my fantasy team.

515
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 3: But it's important because they're coming town Monday. The head

516
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 3: coach said after the game he probably could have went

517
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 3: back in, but at that point I think they were

518
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 3: winning like twenty one nothing or twenty four to nothing.

519
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,919
Speaker 2: I think it was twenty four to seven maybe A.

520
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably right. And at that point Tyrod Taylor

521
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,479
Speaker 3: was knocked out of the game, Fields was inactive, and

522
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,639
Speaker 3: some dude named Cook that I had never heard of

523
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: was the quarterback. So like they were in no jeopardy.

524
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 2: They were, we could see this thing out, and they.

525
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 3: Just ran the ball down their throat. A Chan might

526
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 3: have had three hundred yards if he had started and

527
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 3: finished a game.

528
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: You and Rob King, both lamenting his absence potentially for

529
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 2: your fantasy team today, got something out of them, clear

530
00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 2: spot and clear time in the year.

531
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 3: But he had like one hundred yards on seven carries

532
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:58,719
Speaker 3: or something. I mean, yes, yeah, Matt.

533
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: If if the Vikings Commanders was the most lobsided result

534
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 2: of the weekend, I think the most surprising result of

535
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: the weekend might have been the Saints going to Tampa

536
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 2: Bay and beating the Buccaneers twenty four to twenty.

537
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 3: I didn't pay a ton of attention to this one,

538
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 3: but Schuck made some plays with his legs. I think

539
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: he had two rushing touchdowns, both were long. I don't

540
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 3: know exactly what plagued the Bucks, why this was as

541
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 3: close as it was. But they can't quite can't quite

542
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 3: put it together lately, and they're getting guys back. I

543
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 3: keep thinking they're gonna run away with the division and

544
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 3: they're just not.

545
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 2: No, they aren't in Carolina sitting at home liking what

546
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 2: they're seeing.

547
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 3: He seems how to buy are happy, man.

548
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: Now that's gonna be a wild race down the stretch.

549
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 2: When I think a lot of us were, I mean,

550
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: we were penciling the Buccaneers in his division champs.

551
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 3: Back in October, I know, yeah, and.

552
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: Now they might not even make the playoffs. The Jags

553
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 2: comfortably and a big one between the Colts. They take

554
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 2: care of business thirty six to nineteen and Daniel Jones

555
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 2: looks like he's done for the rest of the year.

556
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 2: Are the Colts now on life support for their playoff hopes?

557
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 3: I think so. I mean, this was a big rain

558
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 3: monsoon type of game. Lawrence is playing Florida weather. Absolutely yeah.

559
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: I think Lawrence might be playing the best of his career.

560
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 3: I mean, really, since Jacobe Meyers showed up there, young

561
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 3: coaches getting them on track, a lot of atn balance

562
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: good defense cults are in a really bad spot now.

563
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: I mean Richardson's done for the year. Jones has done

564
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 3: for the year. They've lost three in a row to

565
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 3: good teams coming out of their bye, and they may

566
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 3: lose lose out.

567
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: I feel I feel for Daniel Jones. Yeah, he was

568
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 2: in a good place to kind of reset.

569
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 3: And I don't know if you saw the injury, yeah,

570
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 3: I mean he had. It was his bad leg, the

571
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 3: Achilles went. It's almost like Jaydon Daniels. Should he have

572
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,239
Speaker 3: been out there at all? Maybe? I don't know.

573
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, easy to stay in hindsight.

574
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 3: But they're in the playoff run. But Washington is right right.

575
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 2: But now for the Colts, man, it is amazing how

576
00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: quick this league can turn.

577
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I don't project them to go to the

578
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 3: playoffs right now.

579
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: I would bet against it. I'd say the Jags and

580
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: the Texans.

581
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're way better teams than what the Colts are.

582
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 2: I think that that's undeniable. Broncos go to Vegas a

583
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 2: little bit closer than everybody thought it was gonna be.

584
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: Although the Raiders kick a last second field goal to

585
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 2: make it a one score game instead of.

586
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 3: Ever really competitive, the score doesn't show.

587
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty four to seventeen. The Broncos continue to roll

588
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 2: eleven and two.

589
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 3: This was a really pathetic performance actually by the Raiders

590
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 3: in terms of like effort and you know, like making

591
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 3: reservations for exactly they are. They're done.

592
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 2: Oh, Kenny Pickett got into the game for a brief moment.

593
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, he threw a late touchdown that didn't matter much. Hey, yeah,

594
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff.

595
00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 2: Hey, you know, he's got it. He's done that a

596
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 2: few times.

597
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 3: Actually, very nice to Row.

598
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: It was. It was a really nice show. Actually, Packers Bears.

599
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 3: Huge game, huge game.

600
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 2: And a crucial turnover at the end cost Chicago Bears

601
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 2: get it done twenty eight to twenty one to get

602
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: a half game advantage on the Bears. Now in the

603
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 2: NFC North.

604
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 3: We described them as this when we when Steels played

605
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 3: these two teams, two big game hunters at the quarterback position,

606
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 3: chucking and playing aggressive as could be. I think green

607
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 3: Bays really starting to figure out their skill guys. Watson's one,

608
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 3: Reid came back. They didn't even really need to use Dabbs,

609
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,479
Speaker 3: you know. So they're in a pretty good spot. I

610
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 3: think Green Bay's the best team in that division and

611
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 3: a true Super Bowl contender. But Chicago hung with them,

612
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 3: you know, for where they're at is an organization still great.

613
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still picking up make the playoffs.

614
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I am too, I am.

615
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 2: I know their schedule is a little tough down the

616
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 2: stretch here, but I think if they just get one more,

617
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 2: I mean.

618
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: It's a super successful season. First without a super success.

619
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 2: Even if you go one in three in these last

620
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 2: four games and finished ten and seven, that's still they

621
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 2: would have all signed for that in blood. Yes, you

622
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: go two and two and you finish eleven and six.

623
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 3: I mean, they come on, they battled exactly.

624
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 2: And guess what U thirteen days from now you get

625
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: the Bears that Soldier field. Maybe you can return, maybe

626
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,239
Speaker 2: you can return the favor of that game and win

627
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 2: a close one. But yeah, I really like the Packers,

628
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 2: and man, if they still had Tucker Craft, they might

629
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 2: be my Super Bowl favorite. Right now. That's going to

630
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,439
Speaker 2: be a big loss for them, But they've got some

631
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 2: really nice pieces coming together at the right time.

632
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 3: Picking them go to Super Bowl does not sound far

633
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 3: fetched at all. I mean, I like them.

634
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: I was just going to say it doesn't sound far fetched.

635
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 2: But Seattle's tough, and we know the Rams are tough.

636
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 2: They bounce back after a close lost Carolina, but hey, Carolina,

637
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 2: Carolina right now. Rams go into Arizona. They handle business

638
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: against a Cardinals team that is very much Cancun on

639
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 2: three in their own.

640
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 3: Right, garbage time stuff too.

641
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, forty five to seventeen. The Rams get it done.

642
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,479
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford MVP.

643
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: I think they. I think both their running backs went

644
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 3: over one hundred yards, controlled things on the ground, then

645
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 3: put the ball on harm offensive player of the year

646
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 3: playing great. And Arizona's in trouble. I mean, they just

647
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 3: keep losing and losing and losing.

648
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: They have lost nine, Sorry, they've lost ten of their

649
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: last eleven. After starting two and zero, they are now

650
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 2: three and ten.

651
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 3: And it's gonna be big.

652
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 2: Changes, gonna be massive, shutting everybody down, shutting everybody.

653
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 3: Down, Murray and Nolan.

654
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be in the quarterback market around

655
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 2: and finally, Matt along with Steelers, Ravens, along with Bears, Packers,

656
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 2: one of those three games that we really highlighted on

657
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 2: Friday that has massive playoff implications to Houston. Texans get

658
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 2: it done. They go to Kansas City, a defensive masterclass

659
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 2: picked off Mahomes three times, yeah, en route to a

660
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 2: twenty to ten victory.

661
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 3: So Kansas City's in trouble.

662
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 2: They're done.

663
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: I don't think they're done.

664
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: They're done.

665
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,120
Speaker 3: We'll talk about just throughout the week when we started

666
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 3: like playoff projections and those.

667
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: TV shaking ahead. I think I've been saying they're done

668
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: for four or five weeks, and everybody mean tweets me

669
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 2: and it's like, you're gonna jink.

670
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 3: Predict them to win out and get ten wins and

671
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 3: then come to Pittsburgh in Week one. Great, Okay, let's go.

672
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 2: Even if they even let's let's know.

673
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 3: They're like tie breakers and stuff like that.

674
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 2: They have the tie breaker against well, I think if

675
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,239
Speaker 2: they don't have it against Jacksonville, they don't have it

676
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 2: against Houston.

677
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 3: Well. I think here's my thought, they.

678
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: Could still get it against l A.

679
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 3: But that's while they played Chargers next week, and I

680
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 3: think that. I think the Chargers when we get come

681
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 3: in tomorrow or we're gonna be like, oh, the Chargers

682
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 3: are in trouble. They're not in Colts level. I just

683
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 3: think the O line and an injured Herbert I could see.

684
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 3: I know the Colts are going to fall off. I

685
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 3: suspect the Chargers are going to fall off and the

686
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 3: Chiefs could win these last four and at least make

687
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 3: it very interesting. I thought that was a really really

688
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 3: good football game, though awesome defenses in the maydn't have

689
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 3: any offensive tackles. I mean, Kelsey's dropping balls, Rice is

690
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 3: dropping balls, and mahomes a one man show.

691
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 2: I feel like sometimes this is like pepsi or coke

692
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 2: for people like you gotta love one and hate the other.

693
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 2: I like both pepsi and coke. I know a lot

694
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: of people don't. I love the juxtaposition of like a

695
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: game like Bills and Bengals that's thirty nine thirty six

696
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 2: and a back and forth quarterback offensive duel. In a

697
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: game like this, it was good defense, physical battle for

698
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 2: every inch. Both of those are great football games.

699
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 3: To me. They were, and it was a very desperate

700
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 3: Chiefs team, especially coming out of halftime. Chris Jones was

701
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 3: just took the game over. He's just throwing offensive lineman

702
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 3: a round and when he turns it on, he's as

703
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 3: good as you ever see. And they just didn't have

704
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 3: quite enough. You know, a couple of drops gise guys

705
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 3: let them down a little bit and they're definitely in

706
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,360
Speaker 3: a real bind. I think Houston's the best team in

707
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 3: the AFC, and I actually said that a week or

708
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:46,320
Speaker 3: two ago.

709
00:31:46,520 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 2: You did.

710
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 3: I love how they're rolling along. Stroud's playing well.

711
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 2: The Chiefs have lost for their last five. Yeah, I

712
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:56,840
Speaker 2: mean Mahomes was their leading rusher. They just got nothing

713
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 2: going on.

714
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 3: They got one. I mean he's he's won these.

715
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 2: Really bad nothing going on the ground. They host l A,

716
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 2: then they got.

717
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 3: Believe they can't find a running back. I mean, that's

718
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 3: the easiest vision the world.

719
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 2: They go, they host LA, then they go to Tennessee,

720
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 2: then they host Denver, then they go to Vegas. All right,

721
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 2: so at Vegas.

722
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 3: But yeah, but I don't think four is crazy.

723
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: They got They host the Broncos Christmas Night.

724
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 3: That could be what the season depends on.

725
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 2: Denver is still gonna be playing for the one seed

726
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 2: at that point. With neck and neck with New England,

727
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 2: I just.

728
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 3: Know tie breakers don't favor them. I get that part.

729
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 3: But you don't have faith in the Chargers, and I

730
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 3: have no faith in the cold.

731
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 2: Sometimes I like to bust out my tiny violin for

732
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 2: the holiday schedule and all those things. That's back to

733
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 2: back Christmas Day games for Kansas City. That's that's rough. Yeah, listen,

734
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 2: I understand you take it with all the success that

735
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 2: they've had. But if I was a Chiefs employee in

736
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 2: two straight years, I gotta I gotta work all day.

737
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 3: Christmas Thanksgiving, I would I would not be thrilled.

738
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 2: You better listen, I better get time and a half.

739
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 3: They play like New Year's or something too. I mean, like,

740
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,520
Speaker 3: especially with Taylor Swift around now, they are the biggest

741
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 3: draw in the world. They're never gonna get away from

742
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 3: those type of games.

743
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: Sorry, Kansas City employees. If the Steelers Steelers wanted to

744
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 2: go to five of the next seven Super Bowls and

745
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: win three of them, I might, I might. I might

746
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 2: put up with it on your.

747
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 3: Finger and Super and playoff checks.

748
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, Matt, let's take a break here, close down with

749
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 2: final thoughts on the other side. Maybe a quick prediction

750
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 2: for tonight's Monday Night football before we get up out

751
00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 2: of here, Yu'ler Williamson, It's the Drive on Steelers Nation

Speaker 1: About Drive on your twenty four to seven home of

Speaker 1: the Black and Goal Steelers Nation.

755
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 4: Radio final segment here on a victory Monday.

756
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:50,720
Speaker 2: Man, it's good to get back in the wind call

757
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 2: of Matt. I'll just say that it's been a little

758
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 2: it's a huge cheerier around here. Yes than uh than

759
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 2: the last couple of Mondays, that's for sure. Like mostes,

760
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: most used to make a joke like when the Steelers

761
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: lose on Mondays, my coffee tastes terrible. The Sunday the

762
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 2: sun doesn't shine, Nobody lets me merge in traffic. Everyone

763
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 2: cuts me in line at the like he would have

764
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 2: like a spiel of like my coffee was cold, you

765
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: know whatever, my driveway was icy. Nobody let me merge

766
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 2: in traffic. When the Steelers win, there's donuts and pizza everywhere,

767
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:29,520
Speaker 2: the sunshine. Everyone's everyone's friendly in traffic. Go ahead and

768
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:32,280
Speaker 2: cut me off. I've got no I'm hurry to be anywhere.

769
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's other cities like that, but the city

770
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 3: is definitely much different on Monday, win or loss. It's

771
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 3: or tone of the team whenever.

772
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 2: And you know, we get a lot of these on

773
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 2: the Steelers Audio Network. In fact, a vast majority of

774
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,399
Speaker 2: our listeners here are not from Western Pennsylvania, right right.

775
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 2: I've always said that, like I I don't think sometimes

776
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,880
Speaker 2: people can do the Civil War thing where they're like,

777
00:34:57,160 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 2: I'm a Steelers fan who's from Pittsburgh, you know, as

778
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 2: opposed to the Steelers fan who's from California and their

779
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 2: grandpa was from Pennsylvania and they you know, that type

780
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 2: of thing. I don't think there's any like you go

781
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 2: to games, you don't go to games. You live in Pittsburgh.

782
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 2: Everyone's a Steeler face. But the one thing that you

783
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 2: can't relate to unless you live here is how different

784
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 2: the city is.

785
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 3: Yes, that is one that is one thing, supermarket line.

786
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 2: Thing that you cannot feel from Texas or North Carolina,

787
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 2: California or Michigan or wherever unless you're here in western Pennsylvania.

788
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 3: Even with the world getting smaller.

789
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 2: And that's the one thing though that I don't want

790
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 2: to hear. And yes, it is much much more cheerful,

791
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 2: uh here today as the Steelers take care of business

792
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 2: and now we get a I guess we get a

793
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,799
Speaker 2: Saturday spot. We get a Saturday and Sunday to kind

794
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 2: of breathe and enjoy it before a big Monday. And

795
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 2: you're in a good spot, but you got a big

796
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 2: Monday night game against the dolphin.

797
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 3: That's a big thing. PURSUEDA was saying in an earlier show.

798
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 3: He's like, okay, but what do you do with it?

799
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 3: You know, I knew you were gonna get up for Ravens,

800
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 3: and I knew you're gonna play a physical game. Totally.

801
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 3: I mean that implies that some games they don't give effort.

802
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 3: That's not what I mean. But don't wash it all

803
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 3: away by losing to either the Browns or Miami. You

804
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 3: know what I mean. And we'll see, and we'll preview

805
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 3: to Miami a lot as the week goes on. They're

806
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 3: an interesting team. I did want to touch one thing

807
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 3: with you though, is it sounds like the victuals at

808
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 3: in at Baltimore Stadium are pretty tasty. They got a

809
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 3: pretty good layout there.

810
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 2: I know the crabcakes, but at BIT we didn't get

811
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 2: crabcakes this time.

812
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 3: Oh really, I thought that was an always thing.

813
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 2: Okay, It's a good thing the Steelers won because postgame

814
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: I was waiting for my Jimmy seafood and instead it

815
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,080
Speaker 2: was catered barbecue, which is fine, Don't get me wrong.

816
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,840
Speaker 2: It's not what I expected. And I think you and

817
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,240
Speaker 2: I had this conversation before I might go a little

818
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 2: snob here for you for a minute. It's like the

819
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 2: Italian guy who talks about how we can't go out

820
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 2: to eat anywhere. Right, But five years ago, during the

821
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:08,360
Speaker 2: start of COVID, During the start of COVID, how do

822
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 2: you like your garlic bread? During the start of COVID, UH,

823
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 2: my wife and I had uh this big trip to

824
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 2: Chicago planned and it ended up everything got canceled. We

825
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 2: were gonna go to a Cubs game, we were gonna

826
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,320
Speaker 2: go to a concert, we had hotel reservations. Everything got canceled.

827
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 2: So a bunch of the money that we had put

828
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 2: down already we got refunded. So I got refunded like

829
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 2: a bunch of money. And I was like, sweetheart, I'm

830
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 2: going and buying a nice smoker. I was like, because

831
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 2: we're not going to be doing anything for the foreseeable future,

832
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna lose my mind. What am I gon? I'm

833
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 2: gonna sit outside on the patio and drink beers and

834
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 2: learn how to smoke meats. That's what I'm gonna do

835
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:48,799
Speaker 2: with all this free time now, and we'll eat well.

836
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,400
Speaker 2: And so now you know, fast forward what it's been

837
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,839
Speaker 2: five six summers of me having a smoker. I think

838
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 2: I'm pretty good.

839
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 3: Okay, like I think I might have to pick your brain.

840
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:58,919
Speaker 3: I don't like to learn.

841
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 2: I think brit skit is still the only thing that

842
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 2: I think, you know, like a smokehouse can Brisket's very difficult.

843
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 2: Anything else pulled pork, ribs, chicken wings, salmon, vidnam anyway,

844
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 2: and so I'm not gung ho about getting catered because

845
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:16,960
Speaker 2: I think the stuff that I make myself at home is.

846
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 3: Better, and especially if you look for to seafood.

847
00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 2: Especially if I'm looking forward to Baltimore. Crab You ever

848
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 2: seen wedding crashers, crab cakes and football, That's what That's

849
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 2: what it was like. Every time it was disappointing. But

850
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 2: maybe they did that.

851
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 3: Just drink dispensaries were pretty nice.

852
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:34,320
Speaker 2: Maybe they were going to give us crab cakes, but

853
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 2: then we won and they were like to give these

854
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:36,879
Speaker 2: guys pulled pork.

855
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

856
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what though. The spread in the press

857
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 2: box was very good. But what was the most impressive

858
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 2: part about it was they had a million different ways

859
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 2: to get your coffee and your caffeine and your electrolytes.

860
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 2: They had a traditional coffee machine that was just two buttons,

861
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:54,840
Speaker 2: real easy, regular decaf wherever you want, boom, grab and go.

862
00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 2: They had a nitro cold brew tap, which you would

863
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 2: have loved. That's right up your alley. Then they had

864
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 2: like a special, special fancy Foo food drink maker where

865
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 2: like you put your cup in, you press a button,

866
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: you could get like an Americano. You can get a latte,

867
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 2: you can get espresso, so three different ways to get

868
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 2: I had a few of each.

869
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

870
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 2: And then they had this water dispensing machine where you

871
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 2: could add probably half dozen different flavors to the water, Lemon, limes, cucumber.

872
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 2: I went with blood orange, and you could add electrolytes

873
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 2: and caffeine to the water if you wanted as well.

874
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 3: That's pretty cool. That was pretty everybody access.

875
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 2: That's for everyone, and so that was cool. They had

876
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 2: a great candy station. We will can.

877
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 3: Are pretty popular and they're becoming more and more popular.

878
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 3: Big bars.

879
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 2: When the season's over, at some point, will do Best

880
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 2: of the West and I will rank for you all

881
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 2: the press box spreads throughout the season. But right now

882
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 2: I don't want to give anything away. But right now,

883
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,280
Speaker 2: if this was the Olympics, they're not winning the gold

884
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 2: but they're on the podium. They're in metal position right now.

885
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 3: I've heard that for years the Baltimore and a lot

886
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,880
Speaker 3: of it's crabcake oriented though drink yeah.

887
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 2: And I try to lead like this is this is

888
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 2: like trying to be a true what's in the stadium,

889
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 2: not what they give us right Like the crab take

890
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 2: things is typically like after the game when you're getting

891
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 2: on the bus.

892
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 3: Yea yea yeah, yeah, yeah, I see that.

893
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 2: The would have gotten something, you know, me, me and

894
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 2: mister TV when we were gallivanting around town Saturday night,

895
00:40:25,719 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 2: would have stopped the Jimmy's and gotten some seafood if

896
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:30,439
Speaker 2: we would have known we weren'ting to get it on Sunday, Matt,

897
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 2: real quick before we go in La at beautiful Sofi

898
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,080
Speaker 2: Stadium tonight. Spoiler alert there on the podium for the

899
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 2: press box food Power rankings right now too. Chargers host

900
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,760
Speaker 2: the Eagles. Huge game for both, but I think bigger

901
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 2: for the Chargers. For the Eagles, they're gonna win their division.

902
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 2: It's just more so what type of momentum can you

903
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 2: have and how you're feeling about yourself and seating heading

904
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 2: into the playoffs.

905
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 3: Eagles need to get their offense right too.

906
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 2: They need to just get They need to get their

907
00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,720
Speaker 2: offense right. Certainly, I could.

908
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 3: See it's being a low scoring game, but I have

909
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 3: Philly winning pretty handily.

910
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 2: It's only a forty one and a half over under,

911
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 2: which is on the lower side of it.

912
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 3: That sounds right.

913
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 2: Chargers, Man, you'll win this one, and you're like, we're

914
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:09,840
Speaker 2: nine and four, we're.

915
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 3: Going for them. Then I might be buying in you'll.

916
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 2: Lose this one, and it's like, man, we got a

917
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 2: tough schedule the rest of the way and we're banged up,

918
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 2: and we'd have no margin for air. Philly a two

919
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,720
Speaker 2: and a half point favorite across the coast.

920
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm taking the Eagles. I mean, it's not a

921
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 3: huge home field advantage. I think the Eagles defense causes

922
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:28,759
Speaker 3: a lot of problems. I just keep coming back to

923
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 3: the CHARGERSZ line. I think that's going to be their

924
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 3: their downfall.

925
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:34,160
Speaker 2: I don't think either of these teams are in a

926
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 2: great spot right now. No, but two and a half

927
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 2: is a small enough number that i'll lay it with.

928
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 2: I'm with you. If it's three and a half, i'd

929
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 2: probably take the points.

930
00:41:41,640 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that makes sense, But at.

931
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 2: Two and a half, Eagles is by a field goal.

932
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 2: That seems about right.

933
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 3: I think they win by five to seven. Got neighborhood.

934
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think it's some double digit Eagles going

935
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 2: there and push them around. And I just don't think

936
