1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up,

2
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 1: straight Fire Fan? It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Tuesday, September.

3
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: Week one in the NFL is in the books, and

4
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: I want to channel the announcer for Rocky Ford. Do

5
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: you guys remember when Apollo Creed went to that fight

6
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: with Ivan Drago and of course ends up getting killed.

7
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: Sorry for the spoiler alert. The movies thirty five years old.

8
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: The announcer says something to the effect of what started

9
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: out as a circus ended up in disaster or whatever.

10
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: He says the exact line as Apollo Creed is like

11
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: dead in the middle of the ring. What started out

12
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: as an incredible, awesome Week one was teetering late Monday

13
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: night because Seahawks Broncos is terrible and borderline unwatchable, to

14
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: the point that I went out in the third quarter

15
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: and started shooting some hoops just to get some shots

16
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: up because I have shot basketball in a long time

17
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: and I can listen. I had the earbuds inner and

18
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: listening to the game, and it's like, gosh, the ineptitude

19
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: is staggering, just unbelievable. I don't know that I've ever

20
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:25,479
Speaker 1: seen anything like this. Nathaniel Hackett's coaching debut was as

21
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: bad as it gets. Honestly, I know Urban Meyer was

22
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: bad last year's now a teammated Fox. I'm not I'm

23
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: not bashing I'm just bashing his coaching of your of

24
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: your one in Jacksonville year one, game one. It was bad.

25
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 1: And there have been some really really ugly rookie debuts

26
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: from head coaches. But what Nathaniel Hackett did on Monday

27
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: Night football was I mean, he looked incompetent. I don't

28
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: know how he can inspire any confidence whatsoever going forward

29
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: for the Broncos. So they in the third quarter. I'm

30
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: not even gonna really go over the deep dive on

31
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: the fumbles, but at the in yard line do you kick?

32
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm fine with going for it. Fumble into the end zone.

33
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: That stinks, brutal it feel bad, feel really bad. Melvin

34
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: Gordon costs it up. So the next time everybody said, well,

35
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: you gotta give it to Williams, He's a beast. They

36
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: get right back down to the goal line. Third one,

37
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: they give it to Williams. What does he do? Drilled

38
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 1: fumbles recovered in the end zone. Two fumbles with the

39
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: goal line. If you want to point to any potential

40
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: good news for the Denver Broncos, it's that they got

41
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: to the one yard line twice and fumbled. They should

42
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: have at least gotten Let's give him ten points there,

43
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: seven ten something. If you don't get to the one

44
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: yard line on back to back series, somebody at at

45
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: Statson Info needs to call this up. When was the

46
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: last time a team had back to back possessions driving

47
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 1: inside the five and fumbling the football to the other team.

48
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: I cannot recall that ever happening. But it gets worse way,

49
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: it gets worse. The end of the game execution was

50
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it was malpractice for Russell Wilson, and I

51
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: feel bad for him because when once they get the

52
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: ball back after uh forcing the punt, you know, they

53
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: got plenty of time, They got like four minutes. They

54
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: go thirty two yards in ten plays, and Nathaniel Hackett

55
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 1: decides to pull his two dred and forty five million

56
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: dollar quarterback off the field so they can attempt I

57
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: kid you not, this is not a joke. A sixty

58
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: four yard field goal by Brandon McManus. Now, according to

59
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: some reports this morning, that would have been the second

60
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: longest field goal in NFL history. Now I've just seen

61
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: this on tweets. I don't know that that's confirmed, but

62
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: what are the odds Russell Wilson picking up five yards?

63
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: You know, the franchise quarterback, the guys won a Super Bowl,

64
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: one of the most clutch quarterbacks of the last decade,

65
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter comebacks, all that stuff. Getting five yards

66
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: or a sixty four yard field goal. Now, I know

67
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: that we're in an era of young head coaches who

68
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: look at the analytics and they play Madden a lot,

69
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: and they want to take chances. And I get that.

70
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: Staley in in uh with the Chargers is one of

71
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: the McDaniels. McDaniel with the Dolphins at a at a

72
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: gutsy fourth quarter call, fourth down call the resulted in

73
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Tyreek Hill ended up going off about how

74
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: Austin was and the big balls, blah blah blah. Hackett

75
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: was basically the opposite of that. I mean, they took forever.

76
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: And by the way, it's not all on Hacket. He

77
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: obviously is a head coach. But you've got a veteran

78
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: quarterback in Russell Wilson, didn't burn any time outs. You

79
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: have a second year running back who's very very good

80
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: in Williams, who caught a pass, breaks two tackles, can

81
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: just dance out of bounds and he stays in bounds.

82
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: That was at the two minute morning and they go

83
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: down to like you know, milk the clock forty seconds

84
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 1: wasted because he couldn't get out of bounds. It's like

85
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: the ineptitude is staggered. Did they not run one two

86
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: minute drill the entire preseason? I could not believe how

87
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: bad it was. And listen, if you're Russell Wilson, how

88
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: do you not just supersed the coach say, yo, you're

89
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 1: time out. Timeout coach, We're not kicking a sixty four

90
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: year field goal. I guess Hackett wanted to save them

91
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: so he could call time out when the Seahawks were

92
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: taking a knee like that was embarrassing. I felt bad

93
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 1: for Hackett. I mean, Joe Buck put him on blast

94
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: on the broadcast. It's gonna be a while before he

95
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: lives this one down. He needs to bounce back. And folks,

96
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 1: anybody who had the Denver Broncos and survivor, first of all,

97
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Second of all, holy cow, that is a

98
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: devastating loss for the Broncos in the toughest division football.

99
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: You play a team that was basically power ranked anywhere

100
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: from two. You play a team that has one of

101
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: the wind lowest season win totals in the league, and

102
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: you lay that much of an egg at the goal line.

103
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: End game execution. Listen. Obviously it's a long season. Denver

104
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: will bounce back. I will take this opportunity to remind

105
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: people that it's okay losing Week one. The Green Bay

106
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: Packers got absolutely eviscerated last year in the season opener.

107
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: They did all right, ended up with the number one seed.

108
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: The problem for Denver it's the schedule gets unbelievably difficult.

109
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: This was supposed to be a layoup. They were supposed

110
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: to have a lay up against the Texans because after

111
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: this they played playoff team Niners, playoff team Raiders, Colts.

112
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 1: We'll see I mean the Colts. I know they're getting

113
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 1: overlook They have five yards offense against the Texans. I

114
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: saw stat they had six trips inside the thirty and

115
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: only got six points. That's it, like the Cults are

116
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: good after that for Denver Chargers. Then you get Jets, Jags, Titans.

117
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: It gets easier but the look at the second half

118
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 1: of the schedule. Oh yeah, you gotta play the Chiefs twice,

119
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: you gotta go to Baltimore, gotta go to the Rams,

120
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: and the season with the Chargers, Folks, this denver like,

121
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 1: there's just not a lot of room for error in

122
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: the a f C. And Nathaniel Hackett's bedwedding is just

123
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: unbelievably bad. My phone, of course, was blowing up with

124
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: texts from friends about what I said on Cowherd Show

125
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: last month about how if the Seahawks finished above five

126
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: D I'll shave the Seahawks logo in the side of

127
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: my head. Of course, you know I didn't tell my

128
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: kids or wife that I will certainly do it, but

129
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: they gotta finish the season over five dred like, come

130
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: on a long way, Togo Seahawks fans. You know I've

131
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: seen Gino Smith string together a couple of good games

132
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: before as a Jets fan. Gino by the way, by

133
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 1: the way, let me give my flowers to Gino Smith.

134
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: I know we rag on him a lot here, we

135
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: me um he was good twelve or twelve to start

136
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: the game dialed in clearly Pete Carroll had this game

137
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: circled for months. I'm sure they went through. I mean,

138
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: Gino Smith was basically perfect in the first half. Um,

139
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: you were waiting for that turnover play. He almost had

140
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,559
Speaker 1: one deep in his own end. You know, I believe

141
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: it was the third quarter. They didn't get any chances

142
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: because Denver had the ball so long in the second half.

143
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: But just I mean, I know people want to say, well, Jason,

144
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: you gotta get props to Gino. Gino was good do

145
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: to t D passes, you know, hundred yards no mistakes

146
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: is the key. But Nick, no mistake. This is about

147
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: Nathaniel Hackett and the Broncos who had, by the way,

148
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: twelve penalties for a hundred and six yards. I mean,

149
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: just comedy stuff. It was embarrassing for Denver. I felt

150
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: bad for Russell Wilson to have to be around some

151
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: of these guys who were making some of these bone

152
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: headed mistakes. But Wilson is not without blame here over

153
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: four in the red zone. Listen, you pay a star quarterback,

154
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: a guy who's going to the Hall of Fame, who's

155
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: the top ten quarterback in the league. You pay him.

156
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: You expected to committity deliver the handoffs. Listen, We're gonna

157
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: hear a lot in the coming twenty four hours about

158
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,440
Speaker 1: how Nathaniel Hackett's not to blame and this is, you know,

159
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: let's throw the O C under the bus, and you know,

160
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's gonna be very, very ticked off. I'm just

161
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: I was surprised at how bad Denver looked. I thought

162
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: Denver had a shot at the Super Bowl. I still

163
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: think they do. Again, it's one game. Let's not overreact.

164
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,359
Speaker 1: The Broncos did average six point eight yards per play.

165
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Seattle five point two. So Seattle didn't

166
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: exactly set the world on fire, but they looked sharp

167
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: enough to score seventeen points in the first half. They

168
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: got none in the second half and held on for victory.

169
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: I just don't understand, if you are Denver, how you

170
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: can really walk away from this and be confident at all.

175
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: Gino Smith is on national television after the game saying

176
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: they wrote me off, I am right back, though, like

177
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: you know, You're done messed up just a little bit. Guys,

178
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: do you know Smith? Hey, listen, Gino strutted, big boy.

179
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: You got a big win you want on Monday Night football.

180
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: I think I saw stat Gino smith Um is basically

181
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 1: now the greatest quarterback in Seattle Seahawk's history. Better than

182
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: Dave Craig, better than Russell Wilson. No, obviously, I'm joking,

183
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 1: but congrats to Seattle Seahawks fans. I can't believe this.

184
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a long week for Russell Wilson and

185
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks are now one n oh and and

186
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: are you ready for this? A top the NFC West.

187
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: The Rams, they got their butts kicked. The Cardinals, they

188
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: got their butts kicked. The Niners they lost in the

189
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: rain to Chicago, and so now first place in the

190
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: NFC West is the Seattle Seahawks. Take a picture, guys,

191
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: enjoy it. This will not last. Obviously, I'm not trying

192
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,960
Speaker 1: to rain on the parade. I'm just trying to be real.

193
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: This will not last for Seattle. This is unsustainable. By

194
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: the way, Jamal Adams was carted off, it was not good.

195
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: He was, of course, heard a lot last year. I mean,

196
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, by the way, had a had an interception

197
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: go right off his face mask in the first half

198
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: and then tried to talk trash like bro catch the ball.

199
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: The other safety had an interception go through the wickets

200
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 1: in the end zone. Listen, Seattle did not look great, Okay,

201
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf with a fumble after talking stuff with certain

202
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: I like that matchup. By the way, Sir Tan look

203
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: kind of good. I haven't seen the Pro Football Focus

204
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: numbers yet, but sir Tan, you look pretty good. Listen,

205
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: you go up against DK Metcalf. It ain't an easy one,

206
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: you know, So that that was a fun way to

207
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,079
Speaker 1: end the week. I did think that the game ultimately

208
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: was like boring. I mean, obviously, when you end with

209
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: that kind of drama and ineptitude, you kind of gotta

210
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: love it. But I will say I didn't even know

211
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: that next week the NFL has a Monday night football doubleheader.

212
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: I guess they wanted russ An Island game. All the numbers.

213
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: Next week Sunday Night football is Bears Packers double digit spread.

214
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: I think the Packers put it on him. I don't

215
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: think anybody would be surprised by that. And then Monday,

216
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: you've got the early game Tennessee Titans at Buffalo rematch

217
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: from what was a thrilling Monday night football game a

218
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: year ago one by Tennessee that that would cost me money.

219
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 1: And Buffalo is over a touchdown favorite. Here this I

220
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: don't know if this hits ten, but this is this

221
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: is only going one way. Nobody's betting Tennessee. Here, Buffalo

222
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: going home after the dub. And you remember guest Bernie Fratto, right, guys,

223
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: he sent me an interesting number. Teams at home after

224
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: a week one win forty two against the spread, sixty

225
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: fifty seven and fifteen straight up. I don't know how

226
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: far back this goes. It might be to two thousand,

227
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: but teams at home after a week one win our

228
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: sixty against the spread. The Bills obviously are one, but

229
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: this includes Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens, Pittsburgh Steelers, although they're underdogs, yes,

230
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: underdogs to um mac Jones. Who's okay, we'll get to

231
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: that in a minute. Um the New York Giants against

232
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. The Saints are at home after a

233
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: week one win, big game against Brady Cleveland Browns, and

234
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: then of course, the Chiefs at home Thursday against the Chargers.

235
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 1: We will do plenty on that game a little bit

236
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: later this week. But shout out to the Seattle Seahawks

237
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: who got the dub. And now they go to San

238
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 1: Francisco where Conginos Smith shocked the world again. And I'll

239
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: tell you this, Uh, you know, Trey Lance is gonna

240
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: have to play way better than he did in the rain.

241
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: And I know that San Francisco was very, very nervous, understandably,

242
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: so on Monday, it seems like everybody's, you know, calm

243
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: down a little bit. It looks like George Kittle probably

244
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 1: will suit up this week. Elijah Mitchell, the news is

245
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: not good on him, but you know what, they just

246
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: thrown backs in there. Anyway, it should be fine. Fox

251
00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: Week one in the books, listen. Denver was a tough

252
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: loss man. That was one of the games I bet

253
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 1: in Vegas. I liked them a lot. That's an l

254
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 1: you know. Luckily, I did not take them in the contest,

255
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: by the way, shout out to t A. You guys

256
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: remember him the guest a couple of weeks ago. I

257
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: went four and one of the contests. So naturally, I'm like,

258
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: how did everybody else do? T A five? And oh?

259
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: And he has two, um, two different teams in the contest,

260
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: Like you know how you're a survivor and you have

261
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: two different teams, like in case one loses, you got

262
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: the other one as a backup. TA has two in

263
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: the four million dollar Circle millions contests, both went five

264
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: and oh. Guys on his game. Um quickly in news

265
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: and notes around the NFL, and there wasn't a ton

266
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: of news yesterday and not much popping up this morning.

267
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: By all accounts, it looks like Dallas will roll with

268
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush as their quarterback. Yeah, that seems to be

269
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: the move. Jim Garoppolo. They I know they're they're saying

270
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: the right thing, but they're negotiating from a horrible perspective

271
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: on this one. So you stick with Cooper Rush. Remember

272
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush did show up last year against the Vikings

273
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: on Halloween and he had a great second half and

274
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys one in Minnesota was a really nice win.

275
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: That being said, Okay, that was his only start of

276
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: the season. And oh, by the way, guess who was

277
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: the leading target guy in that game, Amari Cooper. He

278
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: caught a touchdown. Oh by the way, guests, who was

279
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: the other guy who caught a touchdown from Cooper Rush,

280
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson. He's now in Miami, So Cooper Rush will

281
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: be bind a weaker offensive line and missing the two

282
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: guys who threw touchdowns to last season against the Bengals.

283
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: Cowboys Bengals is game Island game on CBS. Looks like

284
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 1: the Bengals are a touchdown favorite. Joe Burrow will not

285
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: play that poorly again. Cooper Rush, good luck against what

286
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: would be a pretty angry Bengals team after that devastating

287
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 1: loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. So it sounds like six

288
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: to eight weeks maybe best case scenarios six for DAC,

289
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 1: but it's gonna be a while. Next up on the

290
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: injury front, um Elijah Mitchell, the running back for the

291
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: Niners mcl sprain two months on the shelf. Again, not

292
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: great news if you are trade Lance in other news,

293
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 1: that really is significant. T J. Watt obviously the torn

294
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: pectoral is bad, bad, bad. He's getting a second opinion

295
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: because if it is a torn pack, it's probably twelve weeks,

296
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: but it might just be a season. Um, I don't know, guys.

297
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: The best injury news is from Matt Jones X rays

298
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: negative on his back. Looks like mac Jones will suit

299
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: up in Patriots Steelers a game. I would have looked

300
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: to bet the Patriots, but I gotta watch mac Jones, Like,

301
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: if he's not practicing or is he questionable all week?

302
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: Would Boom Belichick start Brian Hoyer or the Zappie kid? Um?

303
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: I don't know. Man. Luckily, he won't have to go

304
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: against t. J. Watt, that's for sure, but they still

305
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: gotta throw against maca Fitzpatrick. Um? Is it pretty pretty

306
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: solid Pittsburgh Steelers defense? And then I guess finally, I

307
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: wanted to quickly talk about first coach being fired because

308
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: if you're Mike McCarthy and you lost Dak Prescott, okay,

309
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 1: you know Jerry Jones has really ticked off about how

310
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: that playoff lost ended to the Niners. That was Mike

311
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: McCarthy's version of Nathaniel Hackett. Okay, it was that bad.

312
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,120
Speaker 1: That Dak Prescott scrambled like it's just poor clock management.

313
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: So if they don't make the playoffs, do you think

314
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: Jerry keeps McCarthy or does he go after say, I

315
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: don't know, Sean Payton. Does he promote Kellen Moore from within? Now,

316
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 1: Kelley Moore is gonna has work cut out. The offense

317
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: is the only team in the NFL not to score

318
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:01,959
Speaker 1: touchdown a week one, Like, no, way, no if you're

319
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: kelling Moore. But Jerry likes him a lot the same

320
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: way he liked Jason Garrett. Um, So I think you've

321
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 1: got to consider McCarthy in deep, deep trouble going forward,

322
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: Like I mean, they're not promoting Dan Quinn. There's a

323
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: reason Quinn and Kellen Moore were interviewing for head coaching jobs.

324
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: They knew they could not pull this off again and

325
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: shocked the world and win eleven or twelve games. And

326
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: you know who host a playoff game that was not

327
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: happening under any circumstances. Um obviously, you know, you look

328
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: at the situation with what's his face in Carolina, Matt Rule,

329
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: and Matt Rule probably sees that the Nebraska job is open.

330
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 1: And I know everybody's taking Matt Campbell from Iowa State,

331
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: but Matt rules on very shaky ground, tough opening laws

332
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,439
Speaker 1: for the Panthers. Panthers go to the New York Giants

333
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: this week. I don't want to say it's must win

334
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: from that Rule, but I mean, listen, it doesn't look

335
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: promising for him. After the Giants, it's New Orleans, Arizona,

336
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 1: San fran Rams, Tampa. You're looking easily one in one

337
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: in six and then he's probably toasted before Halloween. So

338
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: does Matt Rule want to go back to college? I mean, listen,

339
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,479
Speaker 1: I'm not betting. I'm not going to bet into that market.

340
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: McCarthy Rule. Uh, these you know, these guys who are

341
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: making the decisions are crazy. I mean, Jerry Jones is

342
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: the one announcing, you know, eighty what eighty two year

343
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,239
Speaker 1: old Jerry Jones is coming up quickly and announcing Dack

344
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 1: Mead surgery. Like, I don't know what Jerry's gonna do.

345
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: I know, in season he has never fired a head coach,

346
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: but come on, it's Jerry Jones. Would you be surprised

347
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: by anything that man did? Nothing? Um? So yeah, I

348
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: think Rule could be in trouble. By the way, if

349
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: you're curious about lines for Week two. Giants have ticked

350
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: out to two and a half, opened it one and

351
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: a half. Um. I also think the Detroit Washington game

352
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: is spicy. I thought Ron Rivera could be in some

353
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,479
Speaker 1: trouble this season, but Carson Wentz bailed him out. And

354
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: I have this sneaky suspicion that Washington might be the

355
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: side in Week two. I don't know, we'll see. I

356
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 1: I just I cannot under understand why Jared Goff would

357
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: be favorede I know Washington was not great, but that

358
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 1: Detroit defense was awful. Eagles move the ball up and

359
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: down the field. And oh, by the way, my New

360
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 1: York Jets took a little bit of money. Yes, Jets.

361
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 1: I was hoping for a touchdown, but it was six

362
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: and a half. It's at six now. Listen, Jacoby brist

363
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: favored by nearly a touchdown. Guys, really, really, that's stunning

364
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: to me. But for the first time this season, we've

365
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 1: got some double digit spreads. Green Bay favored by ten

366
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: against the Bears. We have the Rams favored by ten

367
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: and a half against Atlanta. Oh no, it doesn't look

368
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: like Denver's gonna be favored by double digits anymore. The

369
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: look ahead was ten and a half against Houston. Denver

370
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 1: now goes home short week against Davis Mills and company.

371
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: By the way, if you want to fantasy pickup, and

372
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean everybody's gonna race to get this guy. But

373
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: you saw how the Seattle Seahawks tight ends absolutely carved

374
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: up den Ver linebackers were poor in coverage. O J.

375
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: Howard caught two touchdowns for the Texas. I mean, no, lie,

376
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: I didn't know he was on the roster week one.

377
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: I know he had been cut uh and was bouncing around.

378
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 1: It was weird because he was so good at Alabama.

379
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: O J. Howard could have a field day against his

380
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 1: Denver secondary and a short week. You know, Denver probably

381
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 1: a little shell shocked by the loss. They got a

382
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: lot of They got a lot of things to fix.

383
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying Houston is definitely the side, but

384
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: I think if you're looking at a fantasy option, O J.

385
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: Howard at tight end certainly has to be in play. Um.

386
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: So this was a quick Tuesday podcast. I mean, you

387
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: could only bash Nathaniel Hackett for so long before just

388
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: getting sick of it. I mean, is a team I

389
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: thought I had something, man, I really thought they did.

390
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: And again there's six team games left, long way to goo.

391
00:21:55,320 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: Nobody's saying season over for the Packers. They have Aaron Rodgers.

392
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: Nobody's saying season over for the Rams. They have Matt Stafford.

393
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: Nobody's saying season over for the Broncos. But you want

394
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: to get off on the right foot and pick up

395
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: a layoup against a bad team and to lose to Seattle, woof,

396
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 1: that's gotta leave now. The alternative is Russ could take

397
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: this and just say, like, you know what, sorry, Hackett,

398
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: I can't be going out like this. I came here

399
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,159
Speaker 1: for a reason and this is my show now. And

400
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: Hackett will say yes, yes, yes, Russ, um whatever whatever

401
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: you say, sir, because Hackett knows. Come on, dude, don't

402
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: get you out of here in a heartbeat. New ownership

403
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,119
Speaker 1: coming in. You know they're not getting moving on from

404
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Hackett. Better clean it up. Dog. That's it

405
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,479
Speaker 1: for today, guys, talk to you tomorrow.
