1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Around the NFL podcast is Bighty Kneecaps seven from the

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: Chris Wesley podcast studio. It's Around the NFL the flagship

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: program Sunday Night. We're here now, Dan Ass Heroes, Greg

4
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: rose A, Dolf, Mark Sessler and boys you know, oh Macron,

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: that's going next level. Feels like we are this close

6
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:33,199
Speaker 1: to another global shutdown. I get very nervous about that

7
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: on a number of levels. Um, this whole place, this

8
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: building feels like a ghost town. And this the NFL

9
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,239
Speaker 1: is not alone. It's happening everywhere. As people are kind

10
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: of going underground. Is this virus is mutated into something

11
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: very dangerous. But the big story right now, I think

12
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: is the long simmering analytics culture war that is really

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: now coming to a boil within the football cogness empty.

14
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: And this week has been a big one because it

15
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: started with Thursday and Brandon Staley saying I hate field goals,

16
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: I only want to score touchdowns and all the drama

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: around that on Thursday. Then it comes around to Sunday

18
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: the Late Game with John har Harbaugh for the second

19
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: time in three weeks going for two down one and

20
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: once again failing. We're gonna get to that game, but

21
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: it feels like you're either on this side or the

22
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 1: other side. I even could draw some parallels Mark to

23
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: the political climate of this country a few years back,

24
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: where it's getting more and more angry and I and

25
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: I think what makes us even more fun that we

26
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: have Greg on one side of this battle me and

27
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: you maybe on the other. Uh, maybe you on the

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: fence a little bit more Greg Mark, And that's gonna

29
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: cause some spicy tension in the studio all throughout the episode.

30
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: I I agree with you. I think it's like I

31
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: look at all the stuff that creates the decisions that

32
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: are being made, and and like it's the way that

33
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: we played like Madden and Tech Mobile growing up, where

34
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: you just never punted, you went for it, and like

35
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: all of it lines up and makes sense in the numbers,

36
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: Like there's reasons that analytics is blowing up all of that.

37
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: Agreed with I think sometimes for me it's just like

38
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: you can't even look at what happened at the end

39
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: of the Green Bay Baltimore game, which we'll get into

40
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: um and even make a comment about it. You just

41
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: have to say, yes, that's all. If you if you

42
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: don't be afraid it's because because when the climate is

43
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: as it is, it's like there's a group of smart

44
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: people and a group of like lumbering, lumbering oaths if

45
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: you if you in any way from the from yesteryear.

46
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: But it's not, it's not that. It's just that I

47
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: think it's a there. It is a place where there

48
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: could be debate, not about what is the more mathematically

49
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: probable situation, but just other elements of it. Like Dan

50
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: got us into this. It's like, hey, omicron on fire

51
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 1: this week, and you know what else is on fire? Analytics.

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: I'll get the tweets like Settler doesn't know what he's

53
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: talking about. He's a dinosaur. It's like I am telling

54
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: you I agree with but I'm just saying that you're

55
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: not even allowed to have a discussion. Now. Of course

56
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: you are like we should have it, and I would say, like,

57
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: I think what you're reacting to, and what I do too,

58
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,960
Speaker 1: is like the discourse is tiring in theory and right,

59
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: but then but just don't just try to ignore it.

60
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: I guess what I am bathed in it trying to

61
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: have your own football game on every night of the week.

62
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: Now you don't have to watch you don't have to

63
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: mute mute the Twitter. I'm saying like it's become annoyingly

64
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: omni president as a discussion if you cover the sport

65
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: now and I do get the feeling for it's a

66
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: perfect example. So I thought I was I thought they

67
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: should have kicked that extra point Baltimore. This in this

68
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: game three weeks ago or two weeks ago, I thought

69
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: they should have went for two. But for some reason,

70
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: you're not really allowed to take it game by game

71
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: or a moment by moment. It has to be all

72
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: this way. I think always you keep saying like you

73
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: could say whatever you want, if you're back up whatever

74
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: you want to say, and like stand behind it. It's

75
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: not a big deal. It's a football opinion. It's like

76
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: any football page. I just feel like this feels different

77
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: to me than just a football opinion. Get you get

78
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 1: labeled an sp to use scientology parlance, you're a suppressor

79
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: this this decision, This is where I guess I would

80
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: think you guys are off with this because in this decision,

81
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: I would say, you know what I'm saying is all

82
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: the analytics people are going against each other because I

83
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: like that numbers wise, this this decision was far from clear.

84
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: The numbers would have said to kick it, It would

85
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: not have said to go for it necessarily. Harbaugh was

86
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: kind of doing what you're saying is he was feeling

87
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,119
Speaker 1: like the flow of the game, and he was looking

88
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: at other factors that don't go into the number, and

89
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: he was just saying, like, I like Tyler Huntley right now.

90
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 1: You know, I like going for it, even though the

91
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: numbers would say I should kick it and trust by

92
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: defense here. I don't really trust not to get down

93
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: that wormhole. But you are right because as well, because

94
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: we haven't even we'll get into that game. But they

95
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: lost thirteen point nine percentage of win probability according to

96
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: next Gen stats, not next gen mark um when they

97
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: when they went for the two point and I think

98
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: the last time they did it. His reasoning because their

99
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: secondary was shattered. It's still a mess. We got that

100
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: made sense? Do do you see? Mark? And I sps No,

101
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: I don't even I think that's it's it's straw man.

102
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: It's a change is uncomfortable, you know what I'm looking see.

103
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: You're suggesting that change is uncomfortable to Mark and Dan.

104
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: But Greg is beyond the I'm saying, like, think of

105
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick decision. I go back to this a lot,

106
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: going for it with the lead on fourth down against

107
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: the Colts. That was that stopped football for weeks. Now,

108
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: that was a unique game, was a big game. Those

109
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: sort of decisions now happen fairly routinely and it doesn't

110
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: really stop football. I think this last week and certainly

111
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: this season has has been kind of a watershed moment

112
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: of guys going for two and whether that I don't

113
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a not everyone's gonna Harbor and Stanley.

114
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: They're getting the heat because they stand out. There's not

115
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: that many coaches like them, but more and more that

116
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: this is what football is gonna be like more and more,

117
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: and so the reaction is not gonna be quite as much.

118
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,559
Speaker 1: It's just gonna be part of it. I think kids

119
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: growing up watching now, they're just gonna get used to

120
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: like that going for two as part of the games.

121
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 1: It's the fourth dono it is. It's become the situation

122
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: where I think, you know, this is a copycat league also,

123
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: and I think beyond just what their analytics departments are

124
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: telling them now, all the like quote unquote top coaches

125
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 1: all are consistently going for it as well, So I

126
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: think it's caused this chain reaction where everyone goes for

127
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: it except for you know, Bill Belichick. I think Belchi

128
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 1: is a great example because he is the most conservative

129
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: coach in the league this year, and he plays to

130
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: what his team is in the past as aggressive as ever.

131
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: Trivia question, first two point conversion in NFL history? How

132
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: did it happen? Kevin Mack running over the Mr Conservative

133
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick shooting Tom Toop with her punter right into

134
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: pay dirt like that? Maybe you're not an sp I'm

135
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: not an sp I. I enjoyed debate from you know Whoever.

136
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: Let's get into all the games, uh, and remember it's

137
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: not all the games of the week, not even close

138
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: to it. We got two on Monday, we got two

139
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: more on Tuesday, but we had ten to dive into

140
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: today and another one to go through from Saturday night.

141
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in just a few minutes, but

142
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 1: let's start, yes with the game that we've already been

143
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: arguing about. Hit it, Ricky. Green Bay's lead is one

144
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: thirty one. Can the Packers get one stop here on

145
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: a two point conversion motion from a tight end of

146
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: the wing of the left side Huntley in the shot

147
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: down lot Tavia Murray to his right snapped hunt The

148
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: rolls right throws right side of the ends on tennis

149
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: in complete, incomplete, right corner of the ends on in

150
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: front of the pylon and incomplete. The Packers are gonna

151
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: hang on and win this game. Yes, Wayne Larity with

152
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: the call w T m J. John Harbor did it

153
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: again for the second time in three weeks. The Ravens

154
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown in the final seconds, then opted to

155
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: try for the two point conversion for the win rather

156
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: than the game tying p t and for the second

157
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: time in three weeks, Baltimore walked away with a stomach

158
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: punch defeatt thirty Packers hold on just barely and Mark

159
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: this is a game. Lamar Jackson out with a springed angle.

160
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: It's the first game he's missed due to injury in

161
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: his Career's missed a couple of games due to illness.

162
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: Uh and Tyler Huntley really played well and brought this

163
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: team back from a thirty one seventeen deficit. And just

164
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 1: the fact he had two rushing touchdowns where he just

165
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: stayed cool under pressure. Saw running lane took it, scored once,

166
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: scored again in the fourth quarter, and that I guess

167
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: in Bolden John Harbor to say, I know it's not

168
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: Lamar here, but I trust this guy to win this game.

169
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: It didn't work out, but really a nice performance by Huntley.

170
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, the Packers clinch to the

171
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: NFC North with that win, Well, they showed total faith

172
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: in Eiler Huntley. And you know this is there's a

173
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on that entire offense because you're playing

174
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: the Packers. You don't have Marlon Humphrey, Marcus Peters is

175
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: out of the mix, Jimmy Smith tested positive for COVID.

176
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 1: Their secondary was totally shattered, which I think again, like

177
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: that last game where John Harball made that decision at

178
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: the end, contributed again to this. It's like, do you

179
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 1: really want to tie the game and give Aaron Rodgers

180
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: um and less than a minute um of regulation and

181
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: then potentially the first possession in overtime? So I get

182
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: all that. Um, I look at the Ravens overall, who've

183
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 1: got like eighteen nineteen twenty guys missing every game that

184
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: were this another organization, another team, their record would be reverse.

185
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: I know they're out of the playoff mix right now.

186
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: I fully trust that they'll get back in it. Well,

187
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: you know what, I every time I say that that

188
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: goes south, I I strongly that they play the Bengals

189
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: next week, which will you know, basically decide for that

190
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: week who's ahead in a f C North. They lose

191
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: that one, they they're in real trouble. Well then they

192
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: have the Rams and the Steelers. So fully let's let's

193
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: strike fully from the record, but they are as a

194
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 1: resilient team around and uh helped you out there. I

195
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: know it's been a bit of a I cannot believe

196
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: that I am even talking about anything at this point.

197
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: It's just been a nightmare. But um I I don't

198
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be shocked if that Steelers game still has

199
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: meaning in Week eighteen. Oh yeah, I fully expected to.

200
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: This was an amazing performance by the Ravens to be

201
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: down that many players. I mean, you just mentioned their

202
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: entire starting secondary. Oh yeah, by the way, Chuck Clark,

203
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: uh DeSean Elliott, like their safeties who were so good,

204
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: like none of their starting safe their starting group was

205
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: around except for Tavon Young, their slot corner, who leaves

206
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: this game with a concussion. So that's I think part

207
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: of the equation in deciding to go for two. This

208
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: was not a game with a lot of possessions. Each

209
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: team only at eight possessions in this game, and yet

210
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: look at the score thirty one to thirty. So I

211
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,440
Speaker 1: think what you said, Mark was was well said, was

212
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: that there was a chance here, you know, seventy chance

213
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: if you wanted to go for the numbers, that the

214
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,559
Speaker 1: Packers were gonna get two possessions before the Ravens got any.

215
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: You know, they knew that they were gonna get forty

216
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: seconds left to go kick the field goal. That's why

217
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: I figured he would kick the extra point, you know.

218
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: I I assumed that the Ravens would just take the

219
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: tie because either way the Rogers can go get the

220
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: game winning field goal, and that should be some enough

221
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: time for Rogers to do it, So you might as

222
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: well just tie it and not not risk missing the two.

223
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: But he just I think thought like, let's go win

224
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: it now. We don't want to play any more football

225
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: because we're the inferior team. That's also a lot of

226
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: trust in Mason Crosby has been like a hot and

227
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: cold semi nightmare. I just thought it felt a little

228
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: different because they did get the stop that proceeded the

229
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: second touchdown, and they were at home and they were

230
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: just it seemed like the momentum was on their side.

231
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: But you know what, it didn't work out, and you

232
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: know what annoys me. We just had that long conversation

233
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: and Ricky just sent me this tweet from Scott Zolak.

234
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: This is exactly what I'm talking about. L O L

235
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 1: l O l l O L shove your analytics. Oh

236
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: and to Baltimore, l O L l O L. I mean,

237
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: this is like the Capital Riots portion of our side

238
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: of the the battle. Here's yeah, these are the people

239
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: that these are the problem. When you look around and

240
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: your in and it's some sort of argument on Twitter

241
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: and you're like, wait, why is this guy on my side? Yeah,

242
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: that that's that's not good. We try to separate from

243
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: that because again I don't think um. I thought it

244
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: was a smart, well ballsy decision in both cases, but

245
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: really smart to do it the first time. This time

246
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: it felt a little bit reckless and almost like, I

247
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: don't know, it's like, if you are if you view

248
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 1: yourself as a Super Bowl contender, as a big a

249
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: f c team, a team that's a division leader in

250
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: that moment, maybe put some faith in your entire team

251
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: there to to get it done, rather than what felt

252
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: to me a way to steal a win. Um, not

253
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: just how it kind of came off to me like

254
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: maybe a minor crisis and confidence like oh wow, we

255
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: might extually be able to steal this thing and get

256
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 1: out of here, rather than saying, Okay, we've take control

257
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,200
Speaker 1: this game, let's go. I guess I think that's why

258
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: in twenty years it won't be as big of an argument,

259
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: because to me, it's still it still is trusting your

260
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 1: team to win. You know, it's trust. But like I

261
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: I think if you just change your perspective a little,

262
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: it's like it's trusting our team to go win by

263
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: scoring the two points. It's just a different way to

264
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: try to go win. The The annoying thing, and I'm

265
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: with you Mark on this, is that after these games,

266
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: the entire sixty minutes get spoiled down to that one decision.

267
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: And number one, it's crazy that the Ravens like are

268
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: in this game at all, Like that they that the

269
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: Packers blow this lead. Uh, that the Packers should have

270
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: put up thirty one points, and they did. The surprising

271
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: part is that they're giving up so much yardage to

272
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews over and over and over. Uh. Obviously they

273
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: didn't have an answer for Huntley, like they didn't adjust

274
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: like that was that was surprising to me to give

275
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: up thirty points. There is reminder that you know, with

276
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: the possible exception of the Patriots, even the teams that

277
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: we pump up as big defenses, they seem susceptible week

278
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: to week to having letdowns. Um, and that's kind of

279
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 1: how I saw this game. They had a chance to

280
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: close it out, and there a few they repeatedly failed

281
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: down the stretch there. But Rogers needs his tackles back.

282
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: It's not just bock tr it's Billy. Billy Turners out too.

283
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 1: And bock Dry was practicing a little more this week,

284
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: so that'd be good and they might get those two back.

285
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: That's that's been a big problem for them. He was

286
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: under a lot of pressure today. They early in the

287
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: fourth they were averaging over nine yards per play on

288
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: first down Green Bay. I mean, they they were doing fine.

289
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: And we'll get to the Cardinals in a in a

290
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: few minutes. But with this win, a Cardinals loss. Of course,

291
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 1: the Packers have a tiebreaker individual head to head tiebreaker

292
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: on the Cardinals. Things are shaping up very well for

293
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay. I just wanted to I wish that we

294
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: could go back. I remember Tyler Huntley preseason star. I

295
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: talked him up one of these episodes way back at August.

296
00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes the preseason matters. This guy he was. He was

297
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: I think the number one ranked PFF guy in the preseason.

298
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: He went undrafted. He's a second year player. I remember

299
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: seeing all these tweets, Like I saw a couple it's like, oh,

300
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: where will Tyler Huntley be starting next year? Like he's

301
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 1: not starting anywhere. He's got to be the backup for

302
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: the Ravens for two more years. They know what they got.

303
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: This is amazing to to hit on a guy undrafted

304
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: that's this good this early. Like he has been pretty

305
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: good in all of his starts in his relief appearances.

306
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: Are you hinting at some QB drama that I did

307
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: see some of those tweets too. It's like, Oh, they're

308
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: like they're better with Tyler Huntley right now. I mean

309
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: they have moved the ball better. There are six quarters.

310
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: They're a well run organization. So it does not surprise

311
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: me that they've now developed a really good backup quarterback.

312
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: That's why they're always good. They just know what they're doing.

313
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: But it doesn't mean they're gonna make the playoffs this

314
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: year because right now they sit mark in the eighth seed.

315
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: By the way, it does not I'm sure in two

316
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: years there'll be eleven teams from both conferences making the playoffs.

317
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: In twenties six regular season games. But alright, so yes,

318
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: that's a that's a big game. A top the NFC

319
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: standings with Green Bay getting another win, Let's now look

320
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 1: to the top of the a f C standings where

321
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots were looking to get back into that one

322
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: spot on Saturday night. Let's go back in time. It's

323
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: under center, hands off the Taylor Taylor Tift twenty tipte

324
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: Taylor to t great call by Matt Taylor, w f

325
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: N I Bill Belichick will take away your best weapon.

326
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: Well not when Jonathan Taylor's involved start running back dance

327
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: through a loaded box and took it to the house.

328
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: Sixty seven yard rush the clincher in seventeen win over

329
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots in front of a raucous home crowd. At

330
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: Lucas All Stadium. That was a great home crowd. I

331
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: don't know if it's Saturday night, probably was holidays, people

332
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: maybe on vacation, even with all this crazy stuff going on,

333
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: getting a little loose, having fun, great vibe for a

334
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: game anyway, Greg, that's the end of the seven game

335
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: winning streak for the Patriots, who couldn't quite dig themselves

336
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: out of a deep hole of their own making. As

337
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: for the cults, they belong in that a f C

338
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: contender conversation. Yeah, they're eight and six. They got a

339
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: big Christmas Day game against the Cardinals, which is really interesting,

340
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: like they're a team that's tied for that last spot,

341
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,719
Speaker 1: and yet it feels like they're about as good as

342
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 1: any team in the a f C. I think it's

343
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: all very even at the top. And the reason they

344
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: got out to that big lead was both lines, really one.

345
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean, especially the Colts defensive line, which is not

346
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: something that we've talked a lot about this season. I

347
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: thought in the first twenty minutes of the game, and

348
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: that's basically when it was won, they were darting into

349
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: the backfield and stopping runs. They were harassing Mac Jones,

350
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: and they discombobulated and forced a lot of penalties from

351
00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots offense, whereas the Colts offensive line on the

352
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: flip side was very cohesive pushed Patriots upfront around. It's

353
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: just a couple of long drives, but that's sort of

354
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: how the Patriots try to win. And when you're team

355
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: is based on like not making the big mistake and

356
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: just playing smart. Well, when you have a bunch of penalties,

357
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: you lose the turnover battle two to one. Uh, and

358
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: you get a punt blocked, uh, then you lose. Like

359
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,679
Speaker 1: the margin for error for like a team like the

360
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 1: Patriots is a little bit smaller. And it was surprising

361
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: to see both lines get handled early before they kind

362
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: of settled down in the second half. Yeah, I mean

363
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: it harked back a little bit too, some of the

364
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: up and down playoff from New England before the wind streak.

365
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 1: And you know, I think they both want to do

366
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: the same things, these two teams. And yes, you're right,

367
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: like Bill Belichick wants to take away your best player

368
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 1: and he couldn't do it last night. Um, I thought

369
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: the Colts and Frank Reich were much more successful at that.

370
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: Are they imperfect? Yes? Are they scared of anyone. No,

371
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 1: it had massive game of the year energy because I

372
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: think the Cults uh went in with this with a

373
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: great plan, which speaks to their coaching, and trusted their

374
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 1: players to go out and dominate in the defense. To me,

375
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: what they were able to do to New England early on,

376
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: especially against the run, was they just took New England's

377
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: identity a way a little bit. Yeah, I thought that

378
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: was interesting that this is a twenty nothing game after

379
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: three quarters. I think New England did miss Damien Harris

380
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: and the physicality he brings to their running attack. And

381
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: I also it's a weird game because um, I came

382
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: out of it actually feeling as weird as it sounds

383
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 1: a little better about the Patriots and maybe a tiny

384
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: bit worse about the Colts, if that makes sense, because

385
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: like with the Patriots, sure they failed to execute. Um

386
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:41,639
Speaker 1: they get a punt block. That's the third time this

387
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: year they give up a touchdown that way, I think

388
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: was Jamie Collins has a potential pick six go through

389
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: his hands. You have Mac Jones who throws two picks,

390
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: including one in the red zone, and yet they get

391
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: off the mat and so many and I've seen this

392
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: up close with my team so many times, so many

393
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: when you have a rookie quarterback, when things kind of

394
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,879
Speaker 1: snowball against you for a couple of quarters or a

395
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 1: couple of really bad drives in a row, you just

396
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: lose that guy for the game. And it's just like, uh,

397
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's a growing, growing game for a rookie

398
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 1: QB like Mac Jones. So for him to get off

399
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: the mat and really thrive and get them back in

400
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: the game, I was like, okay, I mean, he's already

401
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: wearing big boy pants. And then on the on the

402
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: colt side of the ball, you cannot you cannot watch

403
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,679
Speaker 1: that game and see what happened with Carson Wentz when

404
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: he throws that interception at the beginning of the fourth

405
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: quarter when it's twenty seven, and then see how Frank

406
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: Wright calls the rest of that game and not see

407
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: it as a direct a direct viewpoint that he doesn't

408
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 1: trust his quarterback. He was not gonna let Carson Wentz

409
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: ruin this game for him. And that's something to keep

410
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: an eye on, because Wentz had a chance to really

411
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: bury the Patriots. And after I saw that pick, he

412
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: was like, no, man, I gotta give it to tailor

413
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: no matter what. Well, the best version of the Colts

414
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: is to get out the way they did, let guys

415
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: like Darius Leonard make plays, let the defense line the

416
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: line basically shut down and eat thing else you know

417
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: an opponent wants to do, and then right Jonathan Taylor.

418
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 1: I mean that hasn't that they've gotten up big in

419
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 1: these games. They did when they have big leads, though,

420
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: that is their m O. Like this was this They

421
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 1: turned the corner in this game from a cult single.

422
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: I mean, they got play calling. I thought when they

423
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: had a chance to put it away and you could

424
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: kind of feel at the tension building and they almost

425
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 1: They went from twenty nothing to and giving it to

426
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor with a stacked box, and he just happened

427
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: to make an amazing play. I think this game could

428
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: have very easily swung all the way over to the

429
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: Pig got close. I mean, I don't I guess they

430
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: don't trust Wentz. I hear that, but I mean Wentz

431
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,639
Speaker 1: has been sturdy and completed five passes and and and

432
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: all the games against good teams they've had big leads

433
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: and they've blown them and lost in the other three.

434
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: This time they blown him and Jonathan Taylor was incredible.

435
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: You know, the thing that impressed me was before that

436
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: big run he go. You know, the first two runs

437
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: of that driver up the middle for a first down,

438
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots know the run is coming. And even in

439
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 1: the in the fourth quarter, I think with nine minutes left,

440
00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: they got two first downs by not being aggressive. So

441
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: that that was impressive by the offensive line. But on

442
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: that game winning played, don'ts a high tower and Devin

443
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: mccordy are in the whole unblocked. It wasn't it was.

444
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: It's not even the offensive line. It's just Jonathan Taylor

445
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: being awesome. Uh And and I'm with you. I thought

446
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: Dan that that was you don't want to lose. But

447
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: that was a good experience for mac Jones and the offense,

448
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: I think to be put in that position and respond

449
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: the way. And I think UM and the defense for

450
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: that matter, because the defense after the first quarter held

451
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: up terrific. They were put in some terrible spots until

452
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: that one play basically they had they had shut him

453
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: down quick. Aside for the UM media side of things,

454
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 1: I think Greg Olsen is coming for Tony Romo, coming hard.

455
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: He's closing fast. I thought it was very interesting the

456
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 1: way he explained how Jonathan Taylor makes guys miss in

457
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: the hole, that he actually sets guys up in ways

458
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: that makes him think he's going one way, and it's

459
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: just like he's playing the game at a higher level

460
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,479
Speaker 1: than most running backs. I thought that was really interesting

461
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: and that's I'm sure a skill he used to get

462
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 1: away from those two defenders. There um heet seven points seven.

463
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: He averaged seven points seven yards carried between the tackles.

464
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: The Patriots knew was coming. Mbe number one right now.

465
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 1: I don't know. Kevin Burkhardt, by the way, incredible, Yeah,

466
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 1: they're great. Theorious Leonard like those two interceptions that Mac

467
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 1: Jones through. Those are incredible plays. The Leonard play mentally

468
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,399
Speaker 1: and physically. And then the Okareki play was that, I mean,

469
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: those are incredible plays by athletic. What about the throw

470
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: across his body under Durest to Hunter Henry, I mean,

471
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: you don't come out disliking either team, but I do

472
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: dislike something that happened in this game. I don't know

473
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: why I need to bring it up, but I lost

474
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: my lock on this and I'm tired of it. This week,

475
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: this week of football has been an ill treat. I'm

476
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: a half game up now in the battle with the

477
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: Vikings up ahead. Now you got root for the Bears

478
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: on Monday night. How much worse can we get for you? No,

479
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be I'm just gonna sit back and

480
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,439
Speaker 1: watch let life unfull. I thought you meant like Carson

481
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 1: Wentz at five completions in the fourth quarter or the

482
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: second half. I didn't realize it was five. Wait, what

483
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: why is it? Why is it? Frank Reich a genius

484
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: for like putting his quarterback and putting him on ice

485
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: and giving it to his running back thirty times and

486
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: that's not the same thing, and you know it, and

487
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: uh not for nothing. You know, we talk a lot

488
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: about four downs this week, and you didn't hear a

489
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: lot of like, holy cow, Frank Reich blew the game

490
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: for because all those fourth downs he went for, including

491
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: his own end with the late Oh wait, that's because

492
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: he went three for three and they won this game

493
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:32,199
Speaker 1: partly because he was aggressive on fourth downs late in

494
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: this game. Where you gotta give wins the credit for

495
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: those QB sneaks then, because I think the Patriots knew

496
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 1: the second two word. That dude is a tough he's

497
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 1: a great QB sneak. We gotta move. But like speaking

498
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: of being uh, being very confident and being aggressive, I

499
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,479
Speaker 1: can't believe Bill kicked that field goal. Well, yeah, that

500
00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: was bad. Should have went for that. Say, this isn't

501
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: like Team Zolac over here, not at all. It's put

502
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: him in a really bad spot. Yeah, it was really strange.

503
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,000
Speaker 1: I think he thought the flow of the game, he

504
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: trusted his defense too much. It's strange because in the

505
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 1: past Belichick has been one of the most aggressive guys

506
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 1: going for it, but he's clearly coached differently this year

507
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: with this quarterback in defense and just uh, it was

508
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: fourth and goal at Indy's seven yard line and it

509
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: was town it was and he opts for the field goal.

510
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: He makes, but then Indy has a five minute drive

511
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 1: that's fruitless. They punted. But by the time New England

512
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:33,479
Speaker 1: gets it back there down by ten with only to go,

513
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: so it didn't work. They needed a three. And now

514
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: basically we're separatists, were not sps because I think we don't.

515
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: We don't exist in this box where no matter what,

516
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm a robot that says you must do everything aggressively

517
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: or do I and what do I live in? Okay,

518
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: but this is what I'm I'm I feel like I'm

519
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: a moderate to then by that, I I don't think

520
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: there's that many people in either camp. There are the Zolaks,

521
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: and there are a couple he's at the Capitol right,

522
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: There's a couple of members of football Twitter. Is a

523
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 1: couple of members of football Twitter um who are like,

524
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: no context, uh analytics guys. But I actually think most

525
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: of the people who are kind of pro analytics are

526
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: all about context in the situation depends over from the

527
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: other side of the aisle, and I am I want

528
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: I want us to be We're in the aisle. Were

529
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: about a Roman handshake, Papa, Papa, We're in this together.

530
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:30,400
Speaker 1: All right. Let's uh, let's go back to Sunday. Oh,

531
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: this is annoying for you, Mark, a little bit for everyone.

532
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's take a break and then we will

533
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: continue on the Sunday slate. Fourth down and seven, he

534
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 1: gets a snap, he's back, he throws a passion and

535
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: pull in and that's gonna be a tackle? Is it

536
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: short of that lead stick? No way, No, he didn't

537
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: make that first down. Marker let's answer the question. Bradley

538
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: Rogers is their space between the nose and the ball

539
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: and the lead stick no overackdown. Bill hill Grove and

540
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: Craig welf league with the call for w d v E.

541
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: They call him Joe Money. Joe Hayden made a huge

542
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: impact in his return to the lineup. No moment bigger

543
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: than when he stuffed Nick Westbrook a Keno's inches short

544
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: of the first down. Really it was a half yard.

545
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: It was a very uh, a very nice spot there

546
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 1: for Tennessee to even make it close. But either way,

547
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: he was short of a first down at the Pittsburgh

548
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: ten in the final second ceiling. A nineteen thirteen win

549
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: keeps the Steers alive very much so, or perhaps undead

550
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: to put it in a different way in the a

551
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: f C playoff picture. Um, you know, man, Pittsburgh, it's

552
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: not pretty. It never is with them this season, but

553
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 1: they do have a survivalist mentality and their defense. On

554
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 1: a day where the offense managed a hundred and sixty

555
00:27:56,080 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: eight yards total, the defense really stepped, forcing four turnovers

556
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 1: three on consecutive Tennessee possessions in the second half. And

557
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:07,919
Speaker 1: that's just ten days after they got whipped by the

558
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,679
Speaker 1: Vikings and uh, you know, so basically it was the

559
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 1: defense and Chris Boswell being like under the radar one

560
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: of the very best kickers in the league, kicking four

561
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 1: field goals in December in Pittsburgh. Uh, and that allowed

562
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 1: the Steelers their second win over division leader in three weeks. So, um, listen,

563
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: let's hear from Big Ben by the way, just like

564
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: where he's at, where the Steelers are at, and then

565
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: we'll open up the conversation. You know, I think we

566
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: I think we sell a bolts in this thing, so

567
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 1: we'll see where it goes from here. Notice a little

568
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: tell there. I think we still have a pulse. He's

569
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 1: now winking this is the zombie Steelers and Mark, they're

570
00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 1: not gonna die. I know you wanted him dead, but

571
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 1: it's not happening. I didn't expect them to die this

572
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: week necessarily. Um. I thought one thing about the Titans.

573
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: If you've got last week's version of the Titans, and

574
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 1: I know they played a a floating, wandering opponent in

575
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, but from their angle with a cobble together offense,

576
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 1: I mean I'm trying here like they they didn't have

577
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: turned the ball, they didn't get the ball away. They

578
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: had three lost fumbles in a in an interception today,

579
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: and this game was always going to be close. I

580
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: was surprised that the Steelers were not favored in this

581
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: looking at the personnel on Tennessee's offense. Um, they were

582
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: eventually by the by game time they were slight favorites

583
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: for Yeah, it just I'm not I'm not stunned to

584
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: see the steel This is sort of what they are.

585
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: And I think they'll probably go like eight eight and one,

586
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: like I've been um hoping, but you've got to get

587
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: two wins out of four. Here's the thing. I mean,

588
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be tough. You've got the Chiefs, the Browns,

589
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: and the Ravens. So I totally see them as survivors

590
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: that will go down again. I said that not at all,

591
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: not at all, but because I think that the league

592
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: is essentially seventy eight percent totally middle of the road operation. Well,

593
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: what about the A C North if they went if

594
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: they win two of their final three and they go

595
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: nine seven and one, that probably wins the C and

596
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: they probably they've earned But like, think about that because

597
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 1: and I got a chance to watch this game. I

598
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: don't know if you guys got good eyes on it yet,

599
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: but this does not feel like a team that's ready

600
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: to make a deep run in January or be taken

601
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: seriously against the big team. And yet they do hang

602
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: around and fight their way through these games. And then

603
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: there's something that's again like with John Harbor and the Ravens, uh,

604
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: there is something to be said for the coaching that

605
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: they do feel like they are maximizing their potential right now.

606
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: Is as as middling as that, maybe it's great. I mean,

607
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: if I'm glad Mark didn't watch this game because I

608
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: was here in the early session, and we'll get to

609
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, but there was a lot of stress if

610
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: he if he was watching this closer, he would have

611
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: seen a twenty three yard field goal drive by the Steelers.

612
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: This is other field. There's scoring drive, a thirty nine

613
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: yeard touchdown drive, then their final three drives in the

614
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, they recover three straight turnovers in Tennessee's end

615
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: and they get a total of two first downs in

616
00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 1: those three drives, kick field goals for all three. That

617
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: is a crazy Our defense is taking over and winning

618
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: this game for us, while the Titans are collapsing type

619
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: of comeback. It is a t J. Watt Defensive Player

620
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: of the Year type of game. In the first half,

621
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: he had a play in the red zone where he

622
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: shut he had a quarterback hit force phone boy, I

623
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: believe it was shut down to drive. There got three

624
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: quarterback hits in the game, a sack and a half.

625
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 1: A lot of this was pressure and it's these teams

626
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: kind of being exactly who they've been all season. The

627
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 1: tennis Tennessee has shut down the run. They kind of

628
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: dominated up front, like they didn't give up many yards

629
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: at all, but Tennessee it just doesn't have any offense.

630
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,280
Speaker 1: And Julio Jones got hurt again with a hamstring injury. Again.

631
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:45,200
Speaker 1: Who's not gonna like that's that's these are whose Grave

632
00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 1: Digger um of course of the Titans Film Room podcast

Speaker 1: between the Titans and the Niners. Grave Digger will be

638
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 1: sitting in with us on Mike UH to talk that game. Now,

639
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 1: Grave Digger calendar allows for such. Yeah, we're not. Yeah,

640
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: we gotta pull that. We he respectfully made the request

641
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: to stop talking about his private life because he's got

642
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: something simmering, he's got something on the burner, and we

643
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: have said absolutely respect you as a friend and his colleague.

644
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: So we will not ask you about what's going on

645
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: with that married woman. But what we will ask you

646
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,520
Speaker 1: is about ask you about is how concerned you are

647
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: at this stage. That was a tough second half and

648
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,719
Speaker 1: and if the if the story has overblown or is

649
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: over talked about it it is now is like Ryan

650
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: Town Hills on an island and he's not good enough

651
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: to make it make a difference. Man, it really does

652
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: check out when you watch these games. It's crazy. They

653
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: had a ten play span on offense where they turned

654
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: it over three times. That's unbelievable. They did this in

655
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: the two games against Houston and New England, the two

656
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: games before the Jacksonville game where they just kept turning

657
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 1: the ball over and yes, nine in two games. And

658
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: it was like, is this a fluke? Kind of like

659
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: this nobody can turn the ball over this much? But

660
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: is it because all the offensive players, skill players are

661
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: hurt and now that it's happened three times in four games,

662
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: it's like, yes, it's I'm starting to think A. J.

663
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: Brown is maybe like not just more valuable, but like

664
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 1: way more valuable to this offense than Derrick Henry even is,

665
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: because because they ran for two hundred yards. They did

666
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: that against the Patriots too. They ran the ball well

667
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: a week ago. They've run it fairly well even without Henry,

668
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: and yet, oh my god, their past coverage seems to

669
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: be getting problem more problematic by the week. But I mean,

670
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: a hundred sixty eight yards Pittsburgh had in this game,

671
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying that Ryan Tannehill took serious abuse a week ago,

672
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 1: and the sacks are piling up, and it's just like,

673
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: it's not It's why I don't take them seriously. I mean,

674
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,920
Speaker 1: they could win, they could win a playoff game because

675
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: they're well coached and things can happen. But you're not

676
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: gonna win three with that offensive protection. Aaron Brewer's the

677
00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: backup guard. He's kind of a swing guard, and he

678
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,760
Speaker 1: got worked in Roger's Affoeld's absence. They did a pretty

679
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:19,359
Speaker 1: good job keeping T. J. Watt from making a lot

680
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: of plays in the first half. But then in the

681
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: second half he was all over the place. So I

682
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: don't know. And if you're curious how Titans fans are doing,

683
00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 1: and they're very upset because I had them at twelve

684
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 1: in the power rankings this week and you know they're

685
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: probably not gonna move up one. Uh. Such user tweeted

686
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: at me after the game. I hope you have the

687
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,319
Speaker 1: decency when you do your rankings to understand that this

688
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: is not the Titans team. Henry will be back a

689
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 1: j back next week. All Caps, now, please do not

690
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: put calls ahead of them. That would be that would

691
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: be what does it matter to them so much? I

692
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: mean it's not for you, that would be all knowledgeable.

693
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: Stop doing these rankings as with bias, be a pro.

694
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: It better be a that's your soul act. I'm sorry,

695
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: that's not if the Colts and Titans, they're playing in

696
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: a neutral field this week, Colts minus seven. All right,

697
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: grave digger hanging there, buddy, Let's keep moving. Golf leads in.

698
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: There's the snappy's back golf looking looking throwing deep right

699
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: side wants Reynolds got him ends touched down Detroit Lions.

700
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: Oh baby, what a dark to Reynolds who got the

701
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: inside position on Byron Murphy and the Lions and found

702
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: the end zone again. Oh the bongos for the Motor

703
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: City Kitty Kings. You have fun with your bongos co

704
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: co co like a week ago situation. And what a

705
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 1: voice on Dan Miller. It is good to be hearing

706
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: him with some regularity regularity on the show. He's just

707
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: good w x y T with the call. Jared Goff

708
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 1: is Cliff Kings very scryptonite, the punching ba qb. Let's

709
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: face it, that's what he's become in the last couple

710
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,320
Speaker 1: of years. Lit up the Cardinals secondary for three touchdowns,

711
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: including that twenty two yard strike to Josh Reynolds. The

712
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: Lines cruise to a thirty twelve win over the Cardinals

713
00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 1: at Ford Field. Mark. Your Cardinals had been unbeaten on

714
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 1: the road. Your Cardinals have looked like the most balanced

715
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 1: team in football. Your Cardinals are suddenly in some trouble here. Yeah,

716
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 1: I think so. I mean it's it raises some of

717
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: the more esoteric questions that we had about teams like

718
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 1: the Rams when they went through a rough patch. It's like, oh,

719
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: the Cardinals in primetime games, Uh, the lights are too

720
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 1: bright Uh with in in in playoff clinching scenarios under

721
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury, They're oh for four at this point. Um,

722
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: this looked like one of those games where a good

723
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: team gets on an airplane travel somewhere and you can

724
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 1: tell within eight or nine minutes this ain't happening for them,

725
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 1: and sometimes you jump the gun with that feeling. But

726
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: this never got um into questionable territory and it for

727
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: we can get into the Cardinals part. But huge credit

728
00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 1: to Dan Campbell the Lions. I mean, this was a

729
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:04,720
Speaker 1: team that going in to not have DeAndre Swift. Jamal

730
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: Williams was out with covid t. J Hawkinson is out.

731
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: They are playing with guys like Charles Harris on defense,

732
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: who has been awesome as the first round pick. Josh Reynolds,

733
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: though has has stepped up as a receiver, Guys like

734
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: Craig Reynolds, Mon Ross and Brown is really Brown. I mean,

735
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: they just but if you look at the roster up

736
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,359
Speaker 1: and down, it's like, wait a minute, what you get?

737
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: Why the wreck? This is why the stories about the

738
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: Cardinals like the Lions, It's like that's really They've showed

739
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:30,320
Speaker 1: a lot of positive signs the last few weeks, and

740
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell's such an upgrade, it seems over in Matt Patricia.

741
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:35,800
Speaker 1: But to be as talent deficient as they are, to

742
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: be as banged up as they are, and to blow

743
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: out the Cardinals, Like, I'm with you and that you

744
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: can't overreact, because like the Rams and so many other teams,

745
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 1: there are times in the season where you're going to

746
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 1: a funk. I think that's where Arizona qualifies right now.

747
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,720
Speaker 1: I will say I am concerned about this Cardinals season

748
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: without DeAndre Hopkins because he has now gone at least

749
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: untill the NFC Title game if they got that far.

750
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 1: That was a report they came out today. So he's

751
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 1: not coming back. Is this a situation where their offense

752
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 1: is gonna just struggle to score points because they did

753
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,880
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. I want to see more because

754
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 1: I feel like all these teams get this so called

755
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: Mulligan scenario. Um, maybe that's what this was. But I

756
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: totally agree with you that DeAndre Hopkins, that his absence matters. Uh,

757
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 1: they did not have Rodney Hudson. I think that was

758
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,240
Speaker 1: a factor today. Kyler Murray just miss throws. They they

759
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,879
Speaker 1: seemed completely out of sync. They opened with three straight punts. Uh.

760
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: They basically at one point had a fourth down pass knockdown.

761
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,280
Speaker 1: It was in the red zone. It was the lions

762
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 1: first red zone stop all season. There was a terrible

763
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: Murray interception where he was out of sync with a

764
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: miscommunication scenario with a J. Green, which has happened a

765
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: couple of times this year. They just don't They did

766
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 1: not seem to me like the weld oiled machine. It

767
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: was really the defense too that got beaten up in this.

768
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: I mean Craig Reynolds, who is from the Wilderness, undrafted

769
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,879
Speaker 1: back and looks great two weeks in a row, ran

770
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: through them. They dominated time of possession when it mattered

771
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: early on, and they tired out Arizona by the end.

772
00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think it's fair to be like whenever

773
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: a team that we're talking about is the best team

774
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: in football gets conked out this way, it's not good.

775
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: It's not good. I mean, the Lions, though, are not

776
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: the record. I think that we've they tied the Steelers,

777
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: they beat the Vikings, and they're getting better each week.

778
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: That's why I wanted to start with them, because it's

779
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: like they can get lost in the what's the problem

780
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,960
Speaker 1: with Arizona. They made a problem for Arizona today too,

781
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: now they there. That's a fair point. I feel like

782
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 1: they're more of a four or five win team. You

783
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: certainly would rather see the Giants on your their scheduled

784
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 1: in than them or many other teams with better records.

785
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: That said, you're the Cardinals, you lose by eighteen. And

786
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 1: the problems that they have are now becoming repeating problems.

787
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: Number One, they have gotten pushed around in terms of

788
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:49,919
Speaker 1: their run defense, and now you have the Colts coming

789
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: to town, so we'll get into that game later week.

790
00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 1: But that's that's been a problem. And then Hudson being

791
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 1: out is huge. But their interior line in general has

792
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 1: been a problem late, and especially when you've got, you know,

793
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 1: a shorter quarterback. That whole idea of Kyler Murray as

794
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 1: the m VP that that is uh, that is long,

795
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: that's long gone. And Mark during this game it was

796
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: I remember I said one of my favorite or surprising

797
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 1: moments of the season was was watching him melt down

798
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: when the Bengals were losing a couple of weeks ago,

799
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 1: and it was confused because he was he was mad

800
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: about his take being apocalypse forel right now, which is

801
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: terrible week, which is strange because if like we would

802
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: all be happy to apocalypse, as if I could even

803
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: remember what my takes were if Um, during this game,

804
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: he said, he muttered under his breath, you know that

805
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 1: cutting sort of mutter where it could cut glass. I'm

806
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: done rooting for any teams this year, That's what. And

807
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: then there was multiple multiple I wrote it down multiple times. Um,

808
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: oh god, there was I think, oh god, happened three

809
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,880
Speaker 1: times and it was Cardinals related. So Cardinals fan, you

810
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: got a man that has your back here in Marxis. Well,

811
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 1: I look at It's like, um, what I'm done with

812
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: is pet teens. I mean it's like I grew up

813
00:41:12,040 --> 00:41:13,840
Speaker 1: in a no pet household and I'm back in a

814
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 1: no pet household. I'm not clinging to anyone or anything

815
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,400
Speaker 1: at this point. I'm just gonna do the best I

816
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:28,279
Speaker 1: can from here to the end. That's good. Um, all right, well,

817
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: oh you we should say that Cardinal started seven or

818
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 1: oh now they've lost four or seven. And I know

819
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: Patrick Laban one of our favorites and a honorary hero.

820
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: If you're listening, Pat, listen to this quote very closely

821
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 1: from tight end zech Ertz. We can't let the We

822
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 1: can't let this thing. Spiral momentum is real in the NFL,

823
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 1: good and bad. It's coming from an NFL play from

824
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 1: a champion. It's third and twelve from the Panthers twenty

825
00:41:56,719 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: yard line snap Alan. What's written now changes the direction,

826
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: fire straight down the middle. It is caught in the end.

827
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: Touchdown Buffalo Gabriel Davis touchdown Bills a twenty yards strike

828
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: from Josh Allen, John Murphy w g R with the

829
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: call the copy here, John Murphy, Eric would Eric? Would

830
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: I assume the color guy? Yes? I thought for a

831
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 1: second the man's name was John Murphy, Eric Wood. A

832
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 1: lot of names, but it kind of all rolls off

833
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: the tongue nicely, these people with multiple middle names. Anyway,

834
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,760
Speaker 1: that was just j M. I call him Murph. Josh

835
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,799
Speaker 1: Allen threw three touchdown passes, including that hook up with

836
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis in the third quarter, and the Bill snapped

837
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: the two games skid with a win over the moribund

838
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers. The win, combined with the New England lost,

839
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: moves Buffalo back within a game of the a f

840
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: C East lead, with a massive Week sixteen showdown on

841
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,759
Speaker 1: the horizon, and we'll get to that. But Greg, we

842
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: trusted Buffalo to handle broke Carolina and it's broken offense.

843
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: But how did the briandable attack look here? They looked

844
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: like they were working on the running game. It's almost like, okay,

845
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: we get an early lead, let's uh, let's see what

846
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 1: we can do by giving Devin Singletary twenty two carries.

847
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: And it was okay, it was fine, Like this was

848
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: a game that he went six and a touchdown, so

849
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: that's different than normal, but almost every other aspect of

850
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: this game that's gorgeous. For this all right, that's a

851
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 1: fair point. And and they moved the ball when they

852
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: absolutely needed to. It was a little closer, I think

853
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: than the score indicated. The yards for play were pretty

854
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: close throughout. It was a ten point game, and the

855
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 1: Panthers had the ball in the fourth quarter. Like it

856
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: wasn't too crazy. But almost everything that you would expect

857
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: to happen in this game like happened. It was Cam Newton,

858
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: you know, the poor Man's Josh Allen. Now I used

859
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: to when Josh Allen came into leg I called him

860
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:01,000
Speaker 1: the poor home man. Time is a flat circle, and

861
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: they really are similar, I think. But Josh Allen is

862
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 1: so much better obviously now at throwing and running, I

863
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: would say, but but especially at throwing, and he is

864
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 1: approaching or passing as good as Cam Newton ever was

865
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 1: in terms of just throwing the ball and making plays

866
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: on his own. That Josh Allen did enough, and you

867
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:21,839
Speaker 1: got out of here with a pretty comfortable, a little

868
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: bit deflating um if you're a Panthers fan, I imagine,

869
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: because when Cam came back and all the excitement around that,

870
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: and it felt like he was going to kind of

871
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 1: revitalize the whole operation, and then kind of reality sets

872
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: in that that that Cam that you fell in love with,

873
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: that one m v P, he's gone and the guy

874
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 1: that's here parachuted into a very difficult situation. Not his playbook.

875
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 1: Uh doesn't have the same skill set. And I guess

876
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: every time I saw highlights on Twitter, it was something like,

877
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: oh man, the Panthers offense is terrible. Like I saw

878
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:55,440
Speaker 1: so many of those things they ran. I mean, like

879
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,839
Speaker 1: Cam like he's been okay for fantasy. He has more

880
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns this year than than like Alvin Kamara and

881
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:04,839
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones like he had the rushing touchdown every week one,

882
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,240
Speaker 1: but they're passing game is terrible. They passed it forty

883
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 1: two times for a net of a hundred and twenty

884
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 1: four yards. I mean they It's funny because Rule came

885
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: in and he said, we're just gonna run like crazy.

886
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: They actually ran for one fifty one. They were down

887
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: two scores for much of this game, so it was

888
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 1: tough to stay committed to the running game. But they

889
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 1: were pretty good at running and they hit Josh Allen

890
00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: a lot. That is my number one concerned with the

891
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills is not their defense, and it is not

892
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: their running game. It is just their offensive line in general.

893
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,439
Speaker 1: Because when you combine a lack of a running game

894
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 1: with not being able to protect Alan, that's problematic. And

895
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 1: he had to really earn his two ten and three today.

896
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: He was hit a lot of times by this Panthers.

897
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: They've got the Pats up next. Uh. You know, every

898
00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 1: time I watched the Panthers, I feel like Matt Rule,

899
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: his face on the sideline is getting more and more

900
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,440
Speaker 1: agitated with the concept of life that he that is

901
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:57,359
Speaker 1: just not um this this star has fallen so far

902
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: at this point that the Camas back stuff from a

903
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. It feels like a strange dream

904
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: from early autumn. It's going to be interesting and a

905
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: lot of fun to watch the Bills and and Pat's

906
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: rematch that I feel like that's I think for you,

907
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: the best thing that could happen for you in the

908
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,520
Speaker 1: world would be the Bills to drop a bomb on

909
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: New England and it would confirm kind of everything that

910
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: you have been trumpeting about the Patriots up late. I

911
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: am not. Did you hear my analysis of their performance

912
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: on Saturday night? I came away impressed by them? I wasn't.

913
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:32,279
Speaker 1: But I think it's I think it's um it's the

914
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: next level in this psych warfare that we have going

915
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: on to use that space where they lost to praise them.

916
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,360
Speaker 1: Well if that cat's a Belichick move to praise and

917
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: when you lose and and heart heart on them when

918
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 1: they win. But that's interesting. UM. I just wish that

919
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 1: my favorite team isn't uh losers of thirty since Week

920
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,360
Speaker 1: one last week last year, So if I could find

921
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 1: something to root for and be happy, Okay, I guess

922
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: it's rooting against the Patriots, but I just I just

923
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: want to see how the Bills react now, uh, three

924
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: weeks after the events of that Monday, because how much

925
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: do you take from this game? I think, I know,

926
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: I gotta see the offense how it looked, But it

927
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like it was locked and loaded again. So

928
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,800
Speaker 1: it's fine. It was what you expected. I didn't change

929
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: my view in either way. It also was a very

930
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 1: much a veteran team taking care of business, as that's

931
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 1: what we asked for this Bills game. Though next week

932
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 1: we said it how the division is not over. Patriots lose,

933
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 1: Bills win this week, now they're only one back. If

934
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: the Bills could win next time out, they get four

935
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 1: and two in the division. That then that comes down

936
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: to like the Patriots having to beat Miami and getting

937
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 1: the other tiebreaker and a much At this point, I

938
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 1: think the Patriots would have the edge, but it gives

939
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: the Bills a real chance to win a division. Well,

940
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,520
Speaker 1: the Bills would have the Falcons and Jets to close

941
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:50,640
Speaker 1: the season, so that is a dangerous matchup there you go, uh, Ricky.

942
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: By the way, I just want to circle back. We

943
00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:56,760
Speaker 1: had the the the lock of the Patriots that didn't

944
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: work out for Mark but you had locked against the Patriots.

945
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: Does that? But do you get the lock sound or

946
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,800
Speaker 1: you get the sad horn? Because I locked the Cults

947
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 1: technically right, But didn't we standings wise? Weren't we thinking

948
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: that when you do the reverse lock, you should get

949
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: credit for losing but be penalized for winning. Yeah, I

950
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: don't know where you took the l I think ultimately

951
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 1: I definitely did. I definitely did, And the listeners were

952
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: great letting me know on Twitter that I lost, that

953
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: I lost my streak. What do you think that? What's

954
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: our official ruling? Is she getting credit for wins or losses?

955
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 1: It's very convoluted now, especially now, I think had she

956
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,759
Speaker 1: had the street continued, we be onto something. I think

957
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,759
Speaker 1: we're just in media low, the low, the low part

958
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,319
Speaker 1: of mediocrity at this spot. I mean, I think it

959
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 1: was like six in a row locking against the Patriots.

960
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: So either the winning streak ended of the losing streak.

961
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: I don't think, yeah, you get credit because some of

962
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,839
Speaker 1: those times, wait, they were always locked against it. You're

963
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: getting credit for a win when the Patriots were like

964
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: out of the number range for instance. So that also

965
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: would be she was fearing and mine mine and you

966
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 1: had a lockoff win over Mark. But was it really

967
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 1: it was kind of a lockoff law. I mean, you're

968
00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: kind of operating on a different level than the rest

969
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 1: of us right now. We're just trying to play catch up. Yeah,

970
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 1: it's tough, alright, to be fair, she only switched to

971
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: that strategy because she was in a hole. I mean,

972
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:24,479
Speaker 1: you don't need to say, we don't need like week

973
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: Ti Man spreading. Okay, we don't need this masculinity. Ricky's

974
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: just doing her best here. I mean I'm not I'm

975
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: right there near the body. We got your back, right, Um,

976
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: all right, we gotta take a break, right, all right,

977
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: then we'll be back. The ban goals don't huddle. They

978
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: snap it to Burrow throws down field, grow wide boy,

979
00:49:46,719 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 1: catch us at the thirty great up cut back of

980
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 1: the town. But five touchdown band goals fifty six yard

981
00:49:56,440 --> 00:50:00,479
Speaker 1: answer Joe Burrow to Tyler boy, that's like that, goals

982
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: are back. That's me doing color commentary. Nice, nice, looks good.

983
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,920
Speaker 1: That reminds me the guy used to work with. Um.

984
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: His response to anything, which just nice. It's going to

985
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: be getting paid for it. That was Dan Horde and

986
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:21,680
Speaker 1: Dave Lapham w k C. Why Uh, thank god this

987
00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 1: game had that play because there wasn't much else to

988
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: get juiced up about. Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense

989
00:50:26,600 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 1: was silent on Sunday in Denver, that is until Burrow

990
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 1: connected with taj Boyd Nice on the fifties six yard

991
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 1: touchdown that allowed since to escape. Ricky, can we isolate

992
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:39,960
Speaker 1: that Nice for future Bengals talk escaped town with a

993
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: win over the Broncos. Greg, It's hard to feel like

994
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 1: we could trust the Bengals even after this win. But

995
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the first place team, sure, and

996
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: that's good. Go get a win. It doesn't really impact

997
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: how they're gonna play next week. But I don't want

998
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 1: to hear that this is some sort of great Zach

999
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 1: Taylor mans. I mean, they had twelve first downs in

1000
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: two forty nine yards in this game. You got the

1001
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,439
Speaker 1: job done. The defense made it stops against Drew Lock

1002
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:13,399
Speaker 1: when they needed to. Teddy Bridgewater left this game, yeah,

1003
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 1: with a really scary hit. Body wasn't moving, but they

1004
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:19,719
Speaker 1: did say he had a feeling in his extremities and

1005
00:51:19,800 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 1: it was a concussion or they were checking for a concussion. Uh,

1006
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 1: and he was in the hospital being checked that So

1007
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals got it done. But my focus here is,

1008
00:51:30,160 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: you know, as it often is, on game management. Bick

1009
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 1: Fangio is terrible at it. Broncos fans, No, you know,

1010
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,760
Speaker 1: sometimes like we can get lost in the game management

1011
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: and that's not the most important thing. And in this

1012
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: game where so little happened, give Joe Burrow credit. Makes

1013
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,320
Speaker 1: a nice third and ten play on their last offensive

1014
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 1: drive under pressure, getting hit to Tyler Boyd's great job,

1015
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 1: you know, kept the jet drive going. He made a

1016
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: couple of clutch plays. Okay, Fonio blues six points, a

1017
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 1: six point swing at the end of the first half,

1018
00:52:00,960 --> 00:52:03,600
Speaker 1: and then totally mismanaged the clock. Not that Drew Lock

1019
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: was probably gonna do it at the end, but they couldn't.

1020
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,759
Speaker 1: They could have had two minutes for Drew Lock at

1021
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: the end of the game and instead that he he

1022
00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: just wasted forty seconds and the and the sequence at

1023
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: the end of the first half where he ended up

1024
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 1: allowing the Bengals to get three points instead of being

1025
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 1: aggressive and getting the three point. I could really break

1026
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,319
Speaker 1: it down play by play if you guys want, but

1027
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: I don't think you want to hear it, it's like

1028
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:28,839
Speaker 1: I just like, I like knowing that you could if

1029
00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: you wanted to. That shows me that you're locked in

1030
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 1: on this game. And like they were, so can they

1031
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: were setting up okay, they were setting up for a

1032
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: long field goal at the end of the first half.

1033
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: They were not trying to move the ball down the field.

1034
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,359
Speaker 1: A guy goes out of bound with seventeen seconds for

1035
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 1: some reason, Fondo takes the time out even though the

1036
00:52:44,080 --> 00:52:46,680
Speaker 1: guy was out of bounds, and instead of doing whatever

1037
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: they could, which they easily could have it was a

1038
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: third and one to make sure if you're gonna be

1039
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 1: conservative to bleed the clock out, that they throw a past.

1040
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: They don't get it. They end up kicking along field goal.

1041
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: Then they play this terrible, like way too safe defensive

1042
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:03,120
Speaker 1: coverage which just let Joe Burrow get twenty yards to

1043
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: kick their own field goal. That was a six point swing,

1044
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: and the whole drive leading up to that was mismanaged,

1045
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: and me and Broncos Twitter, we're first guessing as it

1046
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 1: was happening. So that's like a little six point swing

1047
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: in such a close game. And then at the end

1048
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: he took this time out before the two minute warning,

1049
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: where if you are a guy who plays Madden or whatever,

1050
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 1: you just knew that Fio or a girl like wasted

1051
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: like he could have had forty seconds more and the Broncos,

1052
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be a defensive team, I've been ranting

1053
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: too long, but if you're gonna be a defensive team

1054
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 1: that was trying to play in these types of games,

1055
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,600
Speaker 1: and I think Fenjio's finally has the defense he wants playing,

1056
00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: then you gotta be able to win on the margins

1057
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,000
Speaker 1: like that, and he's terrible. Here's my question, because we're

1058
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:48,880
Speaker 1: we're nearing the end of year three with Vick Fonjio,

1059
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: and I think we get what he brings defensively and

1060
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: there's he's unique and on that front, I mean, Brandon

1061
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,400
Speaker 1: Staley loves him for multiple reasons. Why isn't there someone

1062
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 1: else like well, I'm wondering, just is there someone in

1063
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: the ear of Fongio or in general saying this is

1064
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: not your skill set will take over these decisions? Is

1065
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: why is Fongio making these decisions when he's been proven

1066
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: to be an utterly subpar time game management. The game

1067
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: is moving fast. I don't know either. He hasn't put

1068
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:22,399
Speaker 1: someone in position that it feels how they approached that drive.

1069
00:54:22,440 --> 00:54:24,880
Speaker 1: It's teddy a little bit too in terms of the

1070
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: you know how lack of daisical it was, but it

1071
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 1: almost felt like that's how they were coaching it. But

1072
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 1: it was more the the use of the play calling

1073
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:33,720
Speaker 1: when there was seventeen seconds to to throw a pass,

1074
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: They're not like foreseeing exactly what happened and if it

1075
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,160
Speaker 1: honestly felt like whoever is winning six three at halftime

1076
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: is gonna win this game because there's so little offense.

1077
00:54:42,719 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 1: Every once in a while on the show, you have

1078
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 1: a summertime take that you get locked into and you

1079
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 1: end up saying it repeatedly, and then it becomes a thing,

1080
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 1: and then the fans get on you repeatedly. And me

1081
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 1: being against Drew Lock was something that brought much derision

1082
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:59,400
Speaker 1: from Denver. What do they call themselves, Broncos Nation? I

1083
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:00,959
Speaker 1: don't know what do they have a thing? I'm sure

1084
00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 1: some use that term goes wagon. They killed me on

1085
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 1: Twitter for weeks and then I just we fast forward

1086
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: to the President and Drew Lock that last offseason. Yeah,

1087
00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: West pushed back for you a little bit. You wanted

1088
00:55:13,040 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: to give Drew Lock a chance a little bit that

1089
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,400
Speaker 1: last drive. I'll just go through it. First and ten

1090
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: of the Denver twenty five down five point sixty four

1091
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,839
Speaker 1: seconds on the clock. Uh, incomplete pass holding. So now

1092
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 1: it is first and twenty from the Denver fifth, incomplete pass.

1093
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: I know there was a penalty, but it could have

1094
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,399
Speaker 1: been intercepted. We should throw that in. Then Drew Lock

1095
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: passed incomplete short middle to Jerry Judy, also could have

1096
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:38,319
Speaker 1: been intercepted. Now now it's second and twenty from the

1097
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,319
Speaker 1: Denver fifteen. Drew lck sacked from minus nine yards. Now

1098
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 1: it's third and twenty nine at the Denverse six. Drew

1099
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: Lock short passed right to Jerry Judy. Pushed out of

1100
00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: bounds nine yard game penalty on Cincinnati off side. So

1101
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,040
Speaker 1: it's third and twenty four. Drew Lock throws into coverage

1102
00:55:53,120 --> 00:55:56,839
Speaker 1: Jared Judy in complete. Fourth and twenty four Drew Lock

1103
00:55:56,880 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: throws it twenty seven yards out of bounds. Game. Oh over.

1104
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 1: I just want one of the Drew Luck people that

1105
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 1: are Bronco's fans to come to my Twitter feed and say,

1106
00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 1: you know what, respectfully, I apologize for all the mean

1107
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: things I said. You were right about Drew Luck. Just

1108
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:13,800
Speaker 1: one of you can speak for the entire Broncos, that

1109
00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:16,799
Speaker 1: would be, uh, the next level step by them. I mean,

1110
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: I think we lost some Drew luck people when he

1111
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,279
Speaker 1: appeared earlier in the season was a total disaster. Yeah,

1112
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 1: it's like all the you know, Teddy. Teddy had one

1113
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: of the worst games of the season before going out

1114
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: to injury. Unfortunately, but we've seen what happens when Teddy leaves. Uh,

1115
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 1: they would not be seven and seven. Uh, they would

1116
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: be four and ten. But in the end, I don't

1117
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: know if there's much of a difference other than they're

1118
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,879
Speaker 1: gonna have a worse draft pick because they needed this game.

1119
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 1: We gotta keep moving. I don't want to get into

1120
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,799
Speaker 1: the Teddy culture wars, but if they had someone better

1121
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: than Teddy, they'd probably ten and four and we wouldn't

1122
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: be talking about it. I'm not staying well, yeah, but

1123
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 1: how do you find someone better? It's like Aaron Rodgers

1124
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: is someone better? You know? It's like who who are

1125
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,480
Speaker 1: they going to? Again? Who are they? We don't need

1126
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 1: to Let's move on empty back flat pattern yard for touchdown?

1127
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: What a devote Parker on it? Both pattern gets it

1128
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: FID for the touchdown that was Jimmy Sevlo w q

1129
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: A M. DeVante Parker caught an eleven yard touchdown pass

1130
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: from tah Tongue of by Law with three thirty seven

1131
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: to play. The Dolphins extend their winning streak to six

1132
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: games by topping the Jets at hard Rock. Duke Johnson,

1133
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: that's your boy, Mark. He ran for a hundred and

1134
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 1: seven yards and not really two touchdowns, and the defense

1135
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,320
Speaker 1: held the Jets the three first downs in the second

1136
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: half of My Boy as Miami continue to feast on

1137
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: its ridiculously soft schedule, weird game. Tua was miserable at

1138
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: the onset. It was like him and Zach Wilson had

1139
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: been in some type of body switch comedy. He threw

1140
00:57:50,760 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: uh interception, he threw another couple of balls up for grabs.

1141
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: He had a fumble and the Jets weren't able to

1142
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 1: reel Uh push it to take it to him. But

1143
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,400
Speaker 1: they were up tend nothing the Jets in this game,

1144
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 1: and they had a lead for the first time at halftime.

1145
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 1: But to have got things back on track, they Dolphins

1146
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: took control of the game both in the trenches and

1147
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 1: with two of making some nice passes down field. They

1148
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 1: get the game under control. They go from down seventeen

1149
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 1: seven to seventeen and then too it makes another terrible mistake.

1150
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: UH throws a pick six that ties the game up.

1151
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: And yet you never felt in the fourth quarter even

1152
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 1: that the Dolphins were in any real danger because the

1153
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: Jets offense, after a promising start, completely went to bed.

1154
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: Miami's defense took complete control of the game, and to

1155
00:58:38,520 --> 00:58:40,840
Speaker 1: to his credit in an up and down day, he

1156
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: did lead them down the field for that go ahead score.

1157
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 1: Cut to fourth and eleven, fourth and ten for the

1158
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:50,919
Speaker 1: Jets in the last possession of the game, and Zack

1159
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: Wilson throws a nine yard pass short of the sticks,

1160
00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 1: and that's how it ends. So Dolphins become the second

1161
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:58,040
Speaker 1: team in NFL history to get to seven and seven

1162
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: after starting at one and seven. UM and we will

1163
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: we will see if this ends with a playoff birth,

1164
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 1: but I guess I still want to see it against

1165
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 1: some real competition. But they deserve a ton of credit,

1166
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: So that's not an easy thing to do. This what

1167
00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 1: happened with the Jets. UH, Like this happened twice now

1168
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,480
Speaker 1: in the last three weeks, where Zach Wilson everyone is

1169
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: loving what he did. In the first half, like they

1170
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: come out pretty fast, but then I saw fifty four

1171
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 1: yards only three first downs in the second half. It

1172
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:26,600
Speaker 1: seems like a trend with him that he has put

1173
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 1: together like half games, Like you look at the numbers,

1174
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: it's not terrible in this game, but then it didn't

1175
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: stay he Yeah, the first couple of drives, he was

1176
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: on target, he was going through his progressions, and then

1177
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 1: I have to say the offensive line got completely destroyed

1178
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 1: in the last i'd say two and a half quarters

1179
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: of the game and put him in a bad spot.

1180
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 1: He was running for his life. Uh a lot. So

1181
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't know how much to put on Wilson, but

1182
00:59:51,240 --> 00:59:53,880
Speaker 1: I will say that it might be a coaching situation.

1183
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 1: I thought Michael Floor had a really it's not it's

1184
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:01,040
Speaker 1: not him. I thought Michael Floor had a really interesting

1185
01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 1: fund first half. It was like a kitchen sink thing

1186
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: where you had all these trick plays. He was empty,

1187
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: emptying out and some of them were working. And then

1188
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 1: the switch got flipped for the Dolphins and Brian Flores

1189
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 1: with that defense and they just absolutely dominated from that point.

1190
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, I can't really make sense of it other

1191
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: than to say that I think, well, Flora had a

1192
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 1: good game plan early but wasn't able to adjust once

1193
01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 1: Miami did. Miami's in the wrong conference. Because you win

1194
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 1: six games in the NFC, it's like punch punch my

1195
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 1: playoff ticket. But despite winning all these games, they're still

1196
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 1: only eleven UH in the conference. And and yes there

1197
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:38,000
Speaker 1: are only one game back, and they can certainly make

1198
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: it if they win out, but that's probably what it

1199
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: will take. And they're at New Orleans, not a gimme

1200
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,640
Speaker 1: at Tennessee in New England. So you you've been waiting

1201
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: Dan to kind of see them against better teams. I

1202
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: think like their pass rush is something that will travel.

1203
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,160
Speaker 1: It's it's legit. It took a little while to get going,

1204
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,479
Speaker 1: but the coaching and the players combined, like week after

1205
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:00,280
Speaker 1: week they are just maulling people up front. But I'm

1206
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:03,160
Speaker 1: curious as you are to see how to in the

1207
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: offense who didn't have Jalen Waddle. Today we'll look against

1208
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: some better defense is and they're about to play pretty

1209
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: good defense. I mean, they gave up fifty five points

1210
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: over five games before coming into this, and I know

1211
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 1: what the schedule is, what it is, but their defense

1212
01:01:15,680 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 1: was legitimate last year under Brian floor as it is again,

1213
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: I'm with you Dan though that there aren't a lot

1214
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,960
Speaker 1: of things to point to and say the ceiling is here,

1215
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 1: the way we look at the culture, the schedule. Even

1216
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 1: you know they're out of this insanely soft portion now,

1217
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 1: but you say they're in the wrong conference. Well, they

1218
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: got the Jets twice in the Texans once in the

1219
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 1: six game stretch, uh, and then out of conference games

1220
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: included the Giants and Panthers. I just mean, like the

1221
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 1: seven in the NFC you're in right now, um and

1222
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: in the a f C yere bear. Do I think

1223
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: the Saints are Titans? The next two weeks are bad

1224
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 1: matchups for them. I don't so. I think they have

1225
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: a chance to really get sneak into the playoffs. They

1226
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: don't like their chances once they got to postseason play.

1227
01:01:57,240 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: But man, that it's been Why was this Johnson by

1228
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: the way on the street twenty three for one seven?

1229
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: This guy can always play on third downs. I'm not

1230
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:09,800
Speaker 1: saying he's like the best player ever, but like receptions

1231
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: from running back since he's entered the league, he's in

1232
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:14,680
Speaker 1: like the top three players in the NFL. There must

1233
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 1: be something else he's he's always had those numbers that

1234
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: like he that project him to be more than he is. Frankly,

1235
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 1: that's all. I just think it's just to be a guy.

1236
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:23,680
Speaker 1: He does live in this I saw um live in

1237
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 1: the same I believe, like a apartment complex type of thing,

1238
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: as to a tongue of viola, which gets to one

1239
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 1: of my my favorite Adam Levitan theories, which is like

1240
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,640
Speaker 1: the neighbor theory. He he does little thing he has

1241
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 1: like the shower narrative, like if guys showered together in college,

1242
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: they always have nice big fantasy numbers together. But also

1243
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 1: the neighbor. Yeah, the neighbor narrative if like because Tua

1244
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 1: was saying how they they see each other, you know,

1245
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 1: kind of like going out to get get watered pick up.

1246
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear more from Adam Levitan on his

1247
01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:57,960
Speaker 1: that'sguing to me. All right, Let's check in with the

1248
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 1: other Moribund in New York franchise Second and Gold. At

1249
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 1: the one M motion play, fake Prescott looks right, looks left,

1250
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:16,000
Speaker 1: throws in the John Caught touchdown, the Dalton Schultz, Brian Sham,

1251
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 1: the Sham God k r l D with the call

1252
01:03:19,120 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 1: uh Drew Prescot Dak Prescott through just one touchdown pass

1253
01:03:23,280 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 1: that going to Dalton Schultz, but that was enough for

1254
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, who rode their defense to six win over

1255
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 1: who exists mostly in theory at this point. The Cowboys

1256
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: defense forced four turnovers for the third straight game. But Greg,

1257
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:42,919
Speaker 1: how did you feel about this perplexing offense? Same this

1258
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 1: is that this was the ultimate just re repeat of

1259
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: their last four weeks. It's like, remember it felt like

1260
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs were in the same game every week for

1261
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 1: that month. That's the Cowboys to Marcus Lawrence and Dak

1262
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 1: Prescott made a bet of some sort. Maybe it was

1263
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: just sort of an on or you know, because they're

1264
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:04,919
Speaker 1: not officially out, that the defense would force more turnovers

1265
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:08,760
Speaker 1: than the Cowboys offense scored touchdowns and DeMarcus Lawrence won

1266
01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 1: largely because of DeMarcus Lawrence, who was an absolute beast.

1267
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 1: Maybe that's the slightly newest narrative out of this. He's

1268
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 1: been good the last few weeks since returning, but he

1269
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: absolutely took over this game for a big chunk of it.

1270
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:25,960
Speaker 1: And just if he's peaking in parsons and speak, that's crazy.

1271
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 1: Treyvon Diggs had his tenth interception. Uh. Gregory had a

1272
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 1: big return last week. They have so many pieces on

1273
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 1: defense that I just I struggle. I don't know if

1274
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 1: it's just because we were so used to looking at

1275
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:41,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys as this like offense first juggernaut. Like I'm

1276
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:44,120
Speaker 1: struggling cognitively to kind of make this process that they're

1277
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: now going to make a playoff run on the backs

1278
01:04:46,600 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 1: of their defense. Is that just where we're going now? Well,

1279
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 1: I think that that wait. Wanting any of these teams

1280
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 1: just to ride their defense to the Super Bowl. I

1281
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,920
Speaker 1: mean that feels tricky because when their offense was special,

1282
01:04:56,960 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 1: it felt totally unstoppable, and it maybe just it is

1283
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 1: what it is at this point. Well, they they're like

1284
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: they really are just like the Chiefs I think earlier

1285
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: in the year, and I think they're just glad to

1286
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 1: be banking wins while they're struggling offensively, and they they

1287
01:05:12,040 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 1: almost have to know that their offense has to be

1288
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 1: a lot better for them to go where they want.

1289
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: They are ten and four, uh, and that's pretty amazing

1290
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 1: if you think back to the beginning of the season,

1291
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 1: we did not expect them to be ten and four,

1292
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:26,400
Speaker 1: much less with Dak Prescott struggling this forty one dropbacks

1293
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 1: against this Giants defense, which is like, no great shakes,

1294
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: two hundred to net yards, no great sacks. Baby, they

1295
01:05:37,000 --> 01:05:39,480
Speaker 1: didn't have a play over. They didn't never play over

1296
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 1: twenty yards. The Giants with Mike Lennon who had ninety

1297
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: nine yards passing and three interceptions, and then Jake from

1298
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 1: who came into the game late, actually had more yards

1299
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: per play than the Dallas Cowboys in this game. And

1300
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 1: that's that's just weird. And the Cowboys ran the ball well,

1301
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 1: so that narrative forget about that. It was it was

1302
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 1: all about their passing. Excided he was feeling healthier going

1303
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: into this game that he looked a little better. He went,

1304
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 1: he look, uh, Lamb dropped two or three passes which

1305
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: would have helped. But Cooper had five targets for eight yards.

1306
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:14,320
Speaker 1: Like it's just not there right now. So now yeah,

1307
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: we have the They are the mirror version I guess

1308
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 1: of Kansas City, or at least before the last couple

1309
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 1: of weeks. And that's I don't know, that's slightly underwhelming.

1310
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 1: As a football fan. I like the Cowboys when they

1311
01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 1: were to shoot it out offense. But this works too.

1312
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:31,040
Speaker 1: I guess they're gonna win the division. They're not gonna

1313
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 1: you know, Philadelphia is not going to catch up with them.

1314
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:35,680
Speaker 1: So if you look at the Cowboy schedule, you know

1315
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 1: it's all in the division, and it's they're not out

1316
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 1: of it for the one seed, as crazy as it is,

1317
01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 1: because they're gonna be favorites in their next three games,

1318
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:45,440
Speaker 1: and and if they could get a little help from

1319
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:49,320
Speaker 1: from Green Bay and Tampa. Who knows, rock solid lock

1320
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: to get taken out in January? Oh definitely. Wait, I

1321
01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:59,800
Speaker 1: thought you were giving up on takeoffs. Okay, Well that's yeah.

1322
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm not even suggesting it's that's true of every team

1323
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 1: except for one. I was wrong. It's not all in

1324
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,360
Speaker 1: the division. They do play the Cardinals in week seventeen. Wow.

1325
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: This Cardinals scheduled down the stretch really sets up for

1326
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,360
Speaker 1: them to kind of be in the cross airs. All right,

1327
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 1: let us now move to the forty niners. We're going

1328
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 1: to keep their momentum going. Forty seconds to go in motion.

1329
01:07:18,800 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson Jr. It's a hanging off to Deebo. One

1330
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 1: of the techpool gets rocked. Left you. I love it, great, Papa, Yeah, Papa,

1331
01:07:35,840 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 1: can br with the call. Jimmy Garoppolo through for two

1332
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 1: five yards in a t D. It's a very Jimmy

1333
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:44,640
Speaker 1: Garoppolo line, and San Francisco ran for three more scores,

1334
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 1: including yet another Deebo Samuel scamper that you heard there.

1335
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 1: Niners one for the fifth time in six games, beating

1336
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 1: the Falcons thirty one thirteen. Mark nice take care of

1337
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: business win over a fraudulent Falcons operation. Yeah, you said,

1338
01:07:57,840 --> 01:07:59,720
Speaker 1: it felt like what we've seen from Debo, and it

1339
01:07:59,800 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: felt like what we've seen from the Niners during this

1340
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 1: hot streak that they're on. Um, a little bit of

1341
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,920
Speaker 1: a slow start, then they scored on five straight drives,

1342
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: including four straight touchdown drives. And the difference here early

1343
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: on was their defense. Um Nick Bose was awesome in

1344
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:16,680
Speaker 1: this game. Left for a little bit with a presumed concussion,

1345
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: but came back in. They shut down the Falcons three

1346
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:23,639
Speaker 1: times inside of San Francisco's ten yard line. Uh. They

1347
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:27,040
Speaker 1: also recovered a fumble at one point. Um. They just

1348
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 1: they to me, this was what you look at with

1349
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 1: the Niners and say you can project them as a

1350
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 1: playoff team and feel comfortable with what they are. George

1351
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:37,840
Speaker 1: Kittle had a George Kittle game. Deebo Samuel did what

1352
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 1: he did and Jimmy g When you get a game

1353
01:08:39,920 --> 01:08:41,920
Speaker 1: like this where he's not turning the ball over and

1354
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 1: turning Uh, Kyle Shanahan's face beat red. Uh, you're fine.

1355
01:08:45,600 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 1: I mean the Falcons, we know that they came into

1356
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 1: this with the lasting team d v O A A

1357
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 1: little bit suspect not their record. They looked like today

1358
01:08:53,160 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 1: they couldn't protect Matt Ryan, they couldn't get anything done.

1359
01:08:56,200 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 1: M Pretty daddy. I know they got lucky last against

1360
01:09:00,360 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 1: the Bengals somewhat, but there are five and one in

1361
01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: their last six. Yeah, with some pretty good wins in

1362
01:09:06,320 --> 01:09:10,640
Speaker 1: their rams Bengals, you stomp out the Falcons, which is

1363
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do. But I hate that term,

1364
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:15,639
Speaker 1: like the team you don't want to play in the playoffs.

1365
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 1: But they certainly feel like a team the table. But

1366
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,519
Speaker 1: they also feel like a team that could that could

1367
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 1: compete or beat any team in the NFC. They were like,

1368
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:29,720
Speaker 1: I would want to get away from them and get

1369
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 1: to whoever has taken that seventh seed. This is what

1370
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:34,679
Speaker 1: I wanted a wild card team. You know, they're they're frisky,

1371
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:37,960
Speaker 1: they can get hot. They have some exciting players. Make

1372
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 1: that first weekend as fun as possible. Mark, because I

1373
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: have a buy in my fantasy playoffs, I didn't have

1374
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,720
Speaker 1: to struggle through a Falcons game. Looking at Kyle fifth

1375
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:51,120
Speaker 1: Pits is an inevitable march to four for thirty eight.

1376
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:55,960
Speaker 1: Where did he finish this week? Four? You had a

1377
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 1: big play like a fifty yard or so, no touchdown,

1378
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:03,040

1381
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 1: some pop going on right now. There's some heat both

1382
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:17,160
Speaker 1: behind the scenes and in the Twitter verse. People are

1383
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 1: into the show. They love the rebranding of it. They

1384
01:10:20,320 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: think that it's really it's captured the spirit of the podcast,

1385
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:26,520
Speaker 1: hasn't it. Greg's I think it's captured the spirit of America.

Speaker 1: At this time when Oh Macron is just going across

01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:37,880

1425
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:52,600
Speaker 1: Something about that Rock and Roll one. It's like a

1426
01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:55,720
Speaker 1: play by play guy from I like it. It's kind

1427
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:59,680
Speaker 1: of throwback Mark vander Meer with it called K I L. T.

1428
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 1: If only the Texans could play the Jaguars every week.

1429
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,639
Speaker 1: David Culley's team completed the season sweep of its division

1430
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:12,200
Speaker 1: rival with at at the Big Glorine Tank and Duval.

1431
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:15,559
Speaker 1: It was the Jack's first game without the deposed Urban Meyer,

1432
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 1: proving definitively he was not the problem in Jacksonville and

1433
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 1: should see every penny of the five year deal he

1434
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:25,479
Speaker 1: signed with the team. That's business. That is business. Mark.

1435
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 1: Everything I said is correct? Yes, Yeah, I mean I

1436
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 1: I go so far as to huddle, Um, if your

1437
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:33,679
Speaker 1: team ownership team brass to say he's not the problem,

1438
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:37,120
Speaker 1: maybe maybe we bring him back via culpa start this

1439
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 1: over fired with cause? How about cause for apology? The

1440
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 1: results that we saw today in jackson Yeah, I mean

1441
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:45,160
Speaker 1: it might have helped today. Um, you know this is

1442
01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 1: the rare game on this one, Mark, huh quick on

1443
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 1: this one. I'll be quick if you'd like, how quick

1444
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 1: do you want me to be? Seconds? How about a

1445
01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 1: little love for Brandon Cooks, who's you know, been It's

1446
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:58,280
Speaker 1: sort of been a hostage scenario for him in Houston,

1447
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:01,640
Speaker 1: but a hundred yard game today, he's been kind of

1448
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 1: He's been there, dude, week after week. Davis Mills, who

1449
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:09,960
Speaker 1: started last week fourteen for fourteen, open thirteen for fifteen today.

1450
01:14:10,040 --> 01:14:12,720
Speaker 1: So I'm telling you, like, I don't know, obviously they're

1451
01:14:12,760 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 1: gonna have bigger plans, and they could. They could have

1452
01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 1: a whole new coaching staff after the season. Their GM

1453
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:19,680
Speaker 1: gave like a vote of no confidence a couple of

1454
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:23,439
Speaker 1: weeks ago, so TB d um. But Davis Mills gives

1455
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 1: you a lot to think about in terms of not

1456
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:27,639
Speaker 1: a lot. It gives you something to think about because

1457
01:14:27,640 --> 01:14:29,559
Speaker 1: he's not been a disaster. I mean, I think it's

1458
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 1: you've got you found your solid number two. But that's

1459
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 1: not the worst thing. Okay, he's been okay, but it's

1460
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:37,040
Speaker 1: like he's been as I mean, just in terms of

1461
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:39,599
Speaker 1: his performance, he's been as good or better than Trevor

1462
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 1: Lawrence and and Zach Wilson. There's no question. I don't

1463
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:45,800
Speaker 1: think the degree of difficulty with what they're having them

1464
01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:51,040
Speaker 1: do um some faith in him. They let him throw

1465
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,080
Speaker 1: only up a touchdown on third and log late in

1466
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 1: that game, and people like people were surprised. It was

1467
01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: almost like the coaches were a little surprised. It's because

1468
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 1: it got a little rainy during the game. I kept

1469
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:05,640
Speaker 1: thinking it was a rainstorm during the game. But you

1470
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:07,519
Speaker 1: might have known a little earlier in the week that

1471
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 1: it was gonna rate all over Texan Bill because I

1472
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:14,320
Speaker 1: used to Texas, don disrespect them as big time underdog.

1473
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 1: The Rainmaker breaks the rain Briggs. How do we not

1474
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:24,960
Speaker 1: have the graphic? Ricky? Where that horrific graphic? Did he

1475
01:15:25,040 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 1: tell you not to use it? Say anything? We're back

1476
01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:30,840
Speaker 1: here again, hey, Mark, you gotta give it up when

1477
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:35,080
Speaker 1: the Rainmaker brings too, I mean, deliver if you if

1478
01:15:35,120 --> 01:15:36,920
Speaker 1: you want to. And by the way, I threw another

1479
01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 1: one out during that show, and that was the bills covering,

1480
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 1: which also came to check the file on that. And

1481
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: you weren't clear, really you were a little bit like

1482
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:49,639
Speaker 1: give it to the Rainmaker bills by forty Well, I said,

1483
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 1: the bills to cover. That's bills cover. Okay, we're just

1484
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:54,320
Speaker 1: trying to parse the language of the Rainmaker. But that okay,

1485
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:56,840
Speaker 1: that makes sense. It's just Rainmaker. They barely did. It

1486
01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 1: came down to the last play, but that that's too

1487
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: and oh and another one got moved. But the Texans

1488
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:04,280
Speaker 1: was the one I really felt in everyone got all

1489
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 1: cute with, like, oh, urban Meyer's gone. That's worth the points. Uh,

1490
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 1: not so much that you're going against Davis Mills. You

1491
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:14,800
Speaker 1: actually said that about what the fact like the spread move?

1492
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:17,680
Speaker 1: Do you know a part of the This Pat McAfee

1493
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:20,880
Speaker 1: empire that's been built has been built on the back

1494
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:24,600
Speaker 1: of him getting very involved with the sports betting and

1495
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:28,320
Speaker 1: his listeners cashing in on the McAfee predictions. We could

1496
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 1: get our listeners rich off the rain This is not

1497
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:33,599
Speaker 1: what we want to be. I thought we attempted our

1498
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 1: last time, right we are now. The Rainmaker hit an

1499
01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:39,439
Speaker 1: unfortunate drought, if you recall, and that's what led to

1500
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:41,760
Speaker 1: the end of the Rainmaker. But if he's on a

1501
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 1: hot streak, is there's no accountability. You only talk about

1502
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:51,519
Speaker 1: it when you win. You pay for Christmas. Get behind

1503
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 1: the Rainmaker right now because he is on a heater. Right.

1504
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:57,479
Speaker 1: What happened last time was a couple of families were

1505
01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:59,760
Speaker 1: put out on the street during Christmas because they did.

1506
01:17:00,040 --> 01:17:05,040
Speaker 1: You're asking a finger to help anyone, know, it's just

1507
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:08,320
Speaker 1: like you know, then it's not so then we got

1508
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:12,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles. It's the worst case two in one, but yeah,

1509
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: I got the Eagles coming up. But this this was

1510
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:15,680
Speaker 1: the one that I was near and near to. But

1511
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 1: you're saying you're gonna walk away from the Rainmaker, Well,

1512
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:21,600
Speaker 1: we'll see if any I don't think if any you know,

1513
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:24,040
Speaker 1: I feel if I feel this was one of my

1514
01:17:24,080 --> 01:17:27,839
Speaker 1: favorite of the year, heavy underdogs to the worst offense.

1515
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,240
Speaker 1: Mark said it the worst offense he's seen in about

1516
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 1: five years. That's true. Getting getting rid of Urban Meyer

1517
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 1: doesn't doesn't solve that in one one week. About an

1518
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:44,360
Speaker 1: act of like altruism. Just you want to help our

1519
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:51,360
Speaker 1: listeners pay for college on prep school? Uh? Christmas? Have

1520
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:54,439
Speaker 1: you seen my locks record? I don't feel confident enough.

1521
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: But this is different. This is a special skill of yours,

1522
01:17:57,680 --> 01:17:59,760
Speaker 1: a special talent. What are some other things we could

1523
01:17:59,760 --> 01:18:04,200
Speaker 1: be paying for? Leisure? I mean next level leisure. Night

1524
01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:07,200
Speaker 1: at the pub, multiple nights in a pub while staying

1525
01:18:07,240 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 1: upstairs like a new outfit. Because when you when you

1526
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: look good, you feel good, and when you feel good,

1527
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:16,560
Speaker 1: you play good. I mean you get someone like you know,

1528
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 1: the grave Digger has extra expenses that are cropping up.

1529
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 1: You could pay for those types of extra expenses. Well,

1530
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:24,320
Speaker 1: we don't talk about though, I said it in a

1531
01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:27,800
Speaker 1: roundabout way. Yeah, but we he had He had asked, respectfully,

1532
01:18:28,040 --> 01:18:30,360
Speaker 1: Erica has expenses that I don't even know how to

1533
01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:32,720
Speaker 1: drill down to. But I'm sure that there that you

1534
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:35,560
Speaker 1: have a lot of lush hobbies. What is that that

1535
01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:38,720
Speaker 1: cost money? I don't know he pivoted you. That was

1536
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:43,559
Speaker 1: a weird little I'm just listing things that might cost money.

1537
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:47,679
Speaker 1: But congratulations, rightmaker, because you're feeling it and you're lighting

1538
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:51,080
Speaker 1: up the wallets and persons of all the blokes and

1539
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 1: lasses across the way. All right, Sunday night, football, Sunday night.

1540
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 1: You can afford that territory. Of course, gratty pressure escapes

1541
01:19:05,560 --> 01:19:10,360
Speaker 1: are acepted. Gardner Johnson cuts underneath big turned pretty over

1542
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:15,680
Speaker 1: in bridge eight interceptions in these regular season matchups the

1543
01:19:15,760 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 1: last two years with the Saints and the New Orleans

1544
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:22,799
Speaker 1: Saints are knocking on the door of a headlong, brathing

1545
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:27,760
Speaker 1: wind in Tampa against the Chaps. Mike Ko who, by

1546
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 1: the way, could not have set this conversation up any better.

1547
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:32,920
Speaker 1: He does that on the cuff, off the cuff. He

1548
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:36,639
Speaker 1: just nailed it, and as his partner Chris Collinsworth soon

1549
01:19:36,880 --> 01:19:41,479
Speaker 1: followed up with nobody likes sticking out their tongue more

1550
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:44,800
Speaker 1: than C. J. Gardner Johnson, which was kind of a

1551
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 1: weird take anyway, Speaking of weird Saints nine buccaneer zero.

1552
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 1: That was the final score of Sunday Night football in Tampa.

1553
01:19:58,280 --> 01:20:00,920
Speaker 1: The Saints shut out a Bucks team that was besieged

1554
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 1: by injuries to Chris Godwin to Mike Evans, both exited

1555
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:11,080
Speaker 1: the game with injuries uh knee and hamstring, to Leonard

1556
01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 1: four Nette to a hamstring, and what was left was

1557
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: not nearly good enough when Tom Brady is trying to

1558
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 1: target Tyler Johnson and Scottie Miller just wasn't playing boys,

1559
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,840
Speaker 1: and then you give it to Cashawn Vaughan who can't

1560
01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:29,720
Speaker 1: do anything. The former third round pick added all up,

1561
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:31,439
Speaker 1: and it was one of the more frustrating nights of

1562
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:33,960
Speaker 1: Tom Brady's career, at least in the regular season. It was,

1563
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:37,680
Speaker 1: and it was like a moment that I'm glad this

1564
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 1: Saints defense and the Saints team had and maybe we'll

1565
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 1: continue to have over the next few weeks. We talked

1566
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 1: about the forty Niners are like that team you want

1567
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 1: to see maybe in the second How about the Saints

1568
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:51,599
Speaker 1: as like the seventh seed that really isn't gonna make

1569
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:54,720
Speaker 1: any noise, But it's this, I get a two lane guy,

1570
01:20:54,840 --> 01:20:57,760
Speaker 1: But okay, here's have four seventh seeds and have them

1571
01:20:57,840 --> 01:21:02,360
Speaker 1: all playoff. We want to city this scenes defense to

1572
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:04,560
Speaker 1: see them have a night like this, and I get it.

1573
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 1: The injuries are what they were for the Bucks. They

1574
01:21:07,360 --> 01:21:10,240
Speaker 1: were three and o against the Bucks with Tom Brady.

1575
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:14,759
Speaker 1: Uh before these injuries. Those injuries didn't start until midway

1576
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:16,799
Speaker 1: through the third quarter. They had four They had stopped

1577
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:19,000
Speaker 1: at four times at that point too. So yeah, maybe

1578
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 1: they don't hold them to zero. But Cam Jordan's getting

1579
01:21:21,520 --> 01:21:25,720
Speaker 1: after it early. Marcus Davenport, that's secondaries wild. This That

1580
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:28,920
Speaker 1: to me explains why the Saints in some ways are

1581
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: like the two thousand twenty one team more than any team.

1582
01:21:32,880 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 1: They are four no right now against the teams as

1583
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 1: of right now that rank in the top four of

1584
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:43,080
Speaker 1: current Super Bowl conversation. Okay, the four Okay there. They

1585
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 1: have played the teams that are the top four in

1586
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 1: current Super Bowl winning odds. They are four no against

1587
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:52,280
Speaker 1: those teams. There are three and seven against everyone else. Well,

1588
01:21:52,360 --> 01:21:54,719
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and it does matter that there's

1589
01:21:54,720 --> 01:21:58,800
Speaker 1: no Sean Payton. Um I says a lot about every

1590
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:01,000
Speaker 1: time the head coach and Mr is a I think

1591
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,519
Speaker 1: they're like seven and in those situations, just the Sean

1592
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: Payton his difference maker. But Dennis Allen Um did an

1593
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 1: incredible job this evening. I mean Cam Jordan's stacked on

1594
01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 1: the same side as Marcus Davenport, caused total chaos, and

1595
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:16,639
Speaker 1: I thought that the defensive backfield was super sticky. I'm

1596
01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:18,679
Speaker 1: with Greg. I mean, yes, I know the injuries occurred.

1597
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it mattered. I mean they made up

1598
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:24,320
Speaker 1: for a Saints offense that had nine drives down the

1599
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:26,920
Speaker 1: stretch that went for less than twenty yards and most

1600
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:28,640
Speaker 1: of those went for less than five yards. I mean

1601
01:22:28,720 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 1: they were put back on the field over and over.

1602
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:34,360
Speaker 1: And this is a situation where it's like we wanted

1603
01:22:34,400 --> 01:22:36,800
Speaker 1: to know do they do they have Tom Brady's number?

1604
01:22:36,800 --> 01:22:39,839
Speaker 1: Do they have this offense's number? Yes, Had the injuries

1605
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:42,160
Speaker 1: not occurred, would this been maybe ten nine? Would they

1606
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:44,479
Speaker 1: have lost? I don't know. I don't care. They got

1607
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 1: the job done. Matters, but they of course thumping them

1608
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:53,400
Speaker 1: to be start, of course it matters, but the Saints,

1609
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 1: Saints fans and the Saints don't want to hear about injuries,

1610
01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:00,479
Speaker 1: mattering like this team has been death made it by

1611
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:02,720
Speaker 1: injuries throughout the course of the season. They had to

1612
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 1: keep playing, and even tonight they didn't have either their

1613
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:08,040
Speaker 1: top two pro Bowl tackles. So I'm just saying, like

1614
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:11,599
Speaker 1: the tweet of the night was from dap boy Wolf.

1615
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:13,920
Speaker 1: Here it is his quote, I don't want to hear

1616
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:17,000
Speaker 1: about Bucks injuries, but be out here throwing passes to

1617
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:22,640
Speaker 1: Amazon delivery driver exactly. So they have that's partly their

1618
01:23:22,680 --> 01:23:26,839
Speaker 1: own doing by dressing uh and developing for the injuries

1619
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:31,080
Speaker 1: celivery drivers for the Bucks punt punt punt, missfield goal

1620
01:23:31,200 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 1: punt punt. Then it started to happen. It's like it

1621
01:23:33,439 --> 01:23:35,640
Speaker 1: wasn't like there was an electricity or like, okay, I

1622
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,640
Speaker 1: hear that, and the Saints deserve all the credit for

1623
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:41,960
Speaker 1: their defense and how it played. But once you lost

1624
01:23:42,040 --> 01:23:44,679
Speaker 1: your top two wide receivers and you're missing Antonio Brown,

1625
01:23:44,720 --> 01:23:46,800
Speaker 1: so now you're missing your top three wide receivers, and

1626
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 1: you're missing Leonard four Nett, who has been sneaky the

1627
01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:52,479
Speaker 1: most important part of that offense this year besides Tom Brady,

1628
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:54,599
Speaker 1: and you take all those guys out of the mix.

1629
01:23:54,880 --> 01:23:57,280
Speaker 1: When it became time for the Tom Brady to do

1630
01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 1: magical Tom Brady stuff, it just felt complete letely impossible

1631
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 1: because he was like he turned it to Ryan Tannehill

1632
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 1: and and Brady obviously a superior player to Tannehill. But

1633
01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:10,519
Speaker 1: once again it shows you when you take a quarterback,

1634
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 1: no matter how good he is, and you take away

1635
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 1: all his weapons, and offense is gonna suffer, especially against

1636
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,040
Speaker 1: a good defense like New Orleans, who really got after

1637
01:24:18,120 --> 01:24:20,960
Speaker 1: it right. They they didn't The Buck's offensive line, which

1638
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 1: has been so good all your Brady's barely been touched,

1639
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: did not win that battle. They came out wanting to

1640
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:28,040
Speaker 1: throw when everyone knows healthy. They threw eleven straight times

1641
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:30,080
Speaker 1: to start the game. And he was getting hit then

1642
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:34,120
Speaker 1: and and he he wasn't getting enough first downs. Then

1643
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:37,519
Speaker 1: he had that interception, you know. Late. Of course he

1644
01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: had the fumble when they were in position for a

1645
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:42,720
Speaker 1: field goal. I mean, they could have scored points here.

1646
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:44,920
Speaker 1: They missed the field goal. They had a two minute

1647
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:47,280
Speaker 1: drive at the end of the first half that also

1648
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:50,640
Speaker 1: got styming. They threw it to Rob Gronkowski. Brady did

1649
01:24:50,720 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 1: eleven times. And Gronk is having an amazing season, but

1650
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:56,559
Speaker 1: he's nice as a compliment. He had two catches out

1651
01:24:56,600 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 1: of those eleven UH targets and at least three drops

1652
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:02,840
Speaker 1: where he could have either come away with the ball

1653
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:05,519
Speaker 1: or he wasn't paying attention on one that was in

1654
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 1: his bread basket would have put him on that like.

1655
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:12,639
Speaker 1: They also did not come through in some key moments,

1656
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 1: and it's it's a massive win because I think the

1657
01:25:15,080 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 1: Saints now really have a real chance, a good chance

1658
01:25:19,520 --> 01:25:21,679
Speaker 1: to go get that seventh seed, which I didn't totally

1659
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:24,560
Speaker 1: see coming into this game, and Tom Brady's m v

1660
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:29,280
Speaker 1: P case, and more importantly, Tampa's chances to get the

1661
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:31,639
Speaker 1: one seed take a big hit. They're not done yet,

1662
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:34,400
Speaker 1: but they take a big hit. I mean everyone's m

1663
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: v P, you know, campaign seems to take a big

1664
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:39,559
Speaker 1: hit the minute we start to mention that Aaron Rodgers,

1665
01:25:39,760 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 1: he's played awesome for four seas. He's in the driver,

1666
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 1: him and Taylor and Brady after Week one with Aaron

1667
01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 1: Rodgers like we were, you know, what's happened to this

1668
01:25:49,520 --> 01:25:51,040
Speaker 1: human being? He's not the same guy. I mean, I

1669
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:53,720
Speaker 1: just I'm impressed with his Saints defense that passed a

1670
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:57,120
Speaker 1: mask over an offense that was also without both of

1671
01:25:57,160 --> 01:25:59,920
Speaker 1: its tackles, an offense that had twelve plays in sports

1672
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:01,920
Speaker 1: seen yards in the third quarter. I mean, that can

1673
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:03,720
Speaker 1: break a defense. We have to keep going back out

1674
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:06,880
Speaker 1: there over and over. They absolutely play with no fear

1675
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 1: against Brady. I mean, they're up in his face and

1676
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:11,439
Speaker 1: it's the one team I think Dennis Ellen has done

1677
01:26:11,439 --> 01:26:14,360
Speaker 1: a better job coaching against Tom Brady than any coordinator

1678
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 1: in the league the last couple of years. There's no

1679
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:19,240
Speaker 1: doubt they this. I just want to I don't want

1680
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:21,479
Speaker 1: to be the Devil's advocate on this one, but uh,

1681
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 1: somebody has to say it that Taysom Hill can't really play. No,

1682
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:27,040
Speaker 1: he can't. So that's a problem. And as much as

1683
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:28,719
Speaker 1: we want to see some of us want to see

1684
01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:32,639
Speaker 1: the Saints in the playoffs, I have from what I've

1685
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 1: seen personally, and these what is it four starts now

1686
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 1: is a guy who is exactly suited to where he

1687
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:41,280
Speaker 1: was previously in his career as a gadget player. And

1688
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:43,519
Speaker 1: when you put him out there as the quarterback, it's

1689
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:47,639
Speaker 1: just not It's not happening. Is his The people around

1690
01:26:47,720 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 1: him in the offensive line matters, of course, but if

1691
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:53,479
Speaker 1: you're asking him to win big games in December in January,

1692
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:58,080
Speaker 1: I just don't see it. That's true. I mean, they

1693
01:26:58,160 --> 01:27:00,839
Speaker 1: scored nine points. Now, they're gonna play the Dolphins, Panthers,

1694
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:04,960
Speaker 1: and Falcons. None of those are w's you know, automatically

1695
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:07,320
Speaker 1: one that Dolphins games on Monday Night. None of those

1696
01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:09,680
Speaker 1: are els. That's just who this Saints team is. But

1697
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:12,720
Speaker 1: I think with Hill, if they can especially if they

1698
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:15,600
Speaker 1: can get the offensive line healthy again, I think he

1699
01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 1: makes sense just for the style of play that there

1700
01:27:18,680 --> 01:27:22,400
Speaker 1: that they have, and no quarterback would be succeeding that.

1701
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 1: They clearly just went into this season with a huge

1702
01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:30,600
Speaker 1: mistake without getting enough pass catchers. I mean, they just

1703
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:33,000
Speaker 1: don't have guys who can make up play Nick Vannette,

1704
01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:35,320
Speaker 1: make up play trout and make a play. I thought

1705
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:37,240
Speaker 1: Hill in the first half of this game through the

1706
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:44,720
Speaker 1: ball pretty well. You know Michael Thomas situation played out.

1707
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:47,800
Speaker 1: That was a huge setback for this and I agree

1708
01:27:47,840 --> 01:27:49,840
Speaker 1: with you on that. Mark. Final word to you on

1709
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:53,519
Speaker 1: this Sunday Night masterpiece. What would you like me to say?

1710
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I've got to know Greg always has

1711
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 1: one in the chamber, but I was wondering maybe Mark

1712
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:03,800
Speaker 1: has one in the chamber. I absolutely come away from

1713
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:09,160
Speaker 1: this game Saints well, I know Sean Payton wasn't there,

1714
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:10,720
Speaker 1: but he was my Coach of the Year guy for

1715
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:12,680
Speaker 1: so long, and I just think that they're one of

1716
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:15,200
Speaker 1: the best run teams out there, and to do this

1717
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 1: three times, four times to Tom Brady and a couple

1718
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,679
Speaker 1: of seasons is pretty impressive. Has a little something special

1719
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:23,840
Speaker 1: sauce you can't measure when you watch, just the energy.

1720
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:25,800
Speaker 1: But that's not my last one. My last. My last

1721
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:28,960
Speaker 1: has two final thoughts and he's gonna have a third

1722
01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 1: and a fourth. The Best Actor award for the one

1723
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:35,760
Speaker 1: season goes to Bruce Arians. Over the last three weeks,

1724
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 1: when he kept answering questions about Antonio Brown and said, well,

1725
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:41,760
Speaker 1: we're not sure yet. We haven't made that call. Yeah,

1726
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:45,280
Speaker 1: you made that call, well before you saw your receivers

1727
01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:47,800
Speaker 1: go down. Tonight there was confirmed now that he will

1728
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:50,479
Speaker 1: be coming back on the team Antonio Brown, but there

1729
01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:52,640
Speaker 1: was no situation where they were ever getting rid of

1730
01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:54,920
Speaker 1: this guy, and tonight was a reminder, well, especially now,

1731
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 1: and also he's acting because also it's not his decision,

1732
01:28:58,400 --> 01:29:01,560
Speaker 1: it's Tommy's decision, Tommy boy, right, Tom and he have

1733
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:04,840
Speaker 1: a bunk bed in Tom's bedroom where Tom Brady sleeps

1734
01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 1: on the top bunk in Antonio Like. It's the size

1735
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:10,479
Speaker 1: of the bunk beds that my son's Jack and Harry

1736
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:13,559
Speaker 1: share the bunk bed size, they sell their legs hang

1737
01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:15,519
Speaker 1: over the end and they just talk each other to

1738
01:29:15,600 --> 01:29:18,760
Speaker 1: sleep and tell stories and giggle and then eventually, guys,

1739
01:29:18,800 --> 01:29:21,479
Speaker 1: that's enough. We don't want you cranky in the morning.

1740
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 1: Come on now, who's saying that mom and dad? Okay,

1741
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:28,120
Speaker 1: I'm struggling to figure out who the mom and dad

1742
01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:31,000
Speaker 1: is in Tom Brady's house, but fair enough, think about it.

1743
01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna okay, that gives just something to think about.

1744
01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:39,599
Speaker 1: All Right, We're We're done. Final thoughts, go row, get

1745
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:43,880
Speaker 1: me out of here. Um, that is the week. Well,

1746
01:29:43,960 --> 01:29:46,599
Speaker 1: it's not even full. Obviously we got four more games.

1747
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:48,920
Speaker 1: This is is a different week. Obviously it's Christmas Week,

1748
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:51,519
Speaker 1: and uh that's fun and we love that, but it's

1749
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:54,360
Speaker 1: also football week in a big spot. So we had

1750
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:57,960
Speaker 1: one game Saturday, we had one game. Thursday, we had

1751
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:01,640
Speaker 1: one game. Saturday, we had ten games Sunday, will have

1752
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:05,040
Speaker 1: two games Monday, and we'll have two games on Tuesday.

1753
01:30:05,240 --> 01:30:08,040
Speaker 1: Is that all right? Yeah? And then another game on

1754
01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:12,639
Speaker 1: Thursday and two games on Saturday, which is Christmas eight

1755
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:16,280
Speaker 1: out of ten nights of prime time. Like, if you

1756
01:30:16,360 --> 01:30:18,599
Speaker 1: wanted to know what it would be like if football

1757
01:30:18,680 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 1: as your favorite sport, which fits so well that when

1758
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:23,320
Speaker 1: your work week was done, there was a game on

1759
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:25,800
Speaker 1: your weekend. Now you know what's what it's like if

1760
01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:27,639
Speaker 1: it were baseball and we're every night of the week.

1761
01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:30,599
Speaker 1: This is this reminds me of Peter Schreeger was texting

1762
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:33,760
Speaker 1: us this weekend and mentioned that his son, his young son,

1763
01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:36,720
Speaker 1: I think he's five years old, watches every around the

1764
01:30:36,800 --> 01:30:40,559
Speaker 1: NFL broadcast UM in the morning, which is pretty amazing.

1765
01:30:41,479 --> 01:30:44,360
Speaker 1: And uh. He said that he has takes from watching

1766
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:46,280
Speaker 1: our show, and one of them is that Mark hades

1767
01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:49,479
Speaker 1: the schedule well, the seventeen the nature of the seventeen

1768
01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:52,479
Speaker 1: game schedule, and Peter Schreeger mentioned that his wife agreed.

1769
01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:54,760
Speaker 1: So I've got two thirds of the family that Peter

1770
01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:56,920
Speaker 1: did not. Peter respects Greg the most. We know that

1771
01:30:57,400 --> 01:31:01,800
Speaker 1: he did not respect my take, but his wife and

1772
01:31:01,880 --> 01:31:06,280
Speaker 1: child do all right good stuff. Perhaps he does respect it.

1773
01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't know why am I still talking in the show. Anyway,

1774
01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:11,880
Speaker 1: We'll have a show Tuesday night show recapping the four

1775
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:16,439
Speaker 1: games left to go, and then a Thursday previ and

1776
01:31:16,479 --> 01:31:19,719
Speaker 1: then a Friday Saturday TV show. It's all there. Until

1777
01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:21,000
Speaker 1: then he had the call
