And right here as well, Jones with you 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.680 on a victory Monday. And oh my, how good does 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.680 it feel? You know? How about we kick off this 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:07.800 show with our picks from Friday? Who picked the Cowboys 0:01:07.800 --> 0:01:10.200 to win that game on Sunday? Ever? So who did 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:14.280 you pick? As always, I have faith. I am not 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:18.760 like you guys. I have ultimate, unconditional faith that the 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:22.480 Cowboys will win. And they did, and they did? And 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.360 what did you pick them by? Oh? I picked them? 0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:29.039 Let them see that. But here I said twenty three seventeen, 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:34.680 And I said Robinson would get a pick. Okay, I say, 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:39.640 Rich Robinson. But Robins, you know the one that's playing, 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.520 not the one that they from Tulsa, the one that's 0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:49.360 actually playing. Yeah, exactly. And Mickey, I don't remember who 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.480 did you pick to win this game? I stuck to 0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.880 my guns. I picked the Bengals, and I will pick 0:01:54.960 --> 0:01:59.960 the forty nine ers again next week. That's right, because 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.960 you are waiting for the Cowboys to put two wins 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:05.960 in a row together and then you will pick the Cowboy. 0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.560 You might pick the Cowboys again at that point. But so, 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:13.840 what was your score? Mickey? It was close? Wasn't twenty three? Twenty? Okay? 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:16.840 A three point game? Hum? You know, I picked the 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.600 Cowboys to win this game. You remember what my score was? 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:27.959 I don't remember. I can't imagine, right, he spags. I 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:31.519 would imagine he was on point. Because this is the 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.680 first time we have reviewed picks to click in our 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:39.960 score up. This is the first time ever that we 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:43.600 have done this. So go ahead, mister try I picked 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:48.080 the Cowboys. Go ahead, Mickey, No, go ahead, set it up. 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:51.560 It's like he picked a cute little thing to go 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:56.720 back to the past, right he didn't eighty five? Yeah, 0:02:56.760 --> 0:02:59.080 I went back to eight. Tried it was this was 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.800 this was the revenge game, not only for Andy Dalton 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.399 going back to Cincinnati, but it was for all Cowboys 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.560 fans who remember nineteen eighty five and that fifty to 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.120 twenty four loss to the Bengals. I picked the Cowboys 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:18.320 to win by twenty six points over the Bengals. And 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:24.239 how much do they win by talking wasn't twenty three? 0:03:24.560 --> 0:03:28.680 So who wins the pick this week? I don't know nobody. 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.640 Wait a minute, no, no, no, no, what's not doing this? 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:36.160 We're not doing this. We are not doing this. They 0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:40.120 have been. I can't remember about ten weeks ago. I 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:44.160 was on point and it was never brought up. Some more, 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.360 mister Jerry's your opportunity then you brought you just brought 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:54.600 it was But nicky, isn't it? Isn't it a good 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:58.560 feeling on a victory Monday? I have to say, guys, 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.760 I'm a little it's a little anti. I'm acted for me. 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.680 I'm not gonna lie. You know, when you look at 0:04:03.880 --> 0:04:07.280 who we beat, you know I called it. I called 0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.160 it a pillow fight. That's what I saw yesterday, or 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:14.040 a nice little pillow fight. And when I look at 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:17.280 what's going on in the rest of the NFC East, 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.880 I feel like we almost took a lateral step only 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:29.800 because the Washington football team looks amazing. They swept us, 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:35.720 so they're in first place all by themselves. I saw Philadelphia, Now, 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.400 I see. If you want to brag about a pick 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:41.120 to click, then you can talk about my prediction on 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.760 what Hurst was gonna do against the Saints. I told 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.919 you that he was going to make a difference for 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.760 that Philadelphia team, and we were going back and forth 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:53.560 about He versus Lamar versus Kylin. So I just had 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.480 a feeling he was gonna make a difference in that game, 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:57.359 and I think he will for the rest of the season. 0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:01.280 That gives me pause, and so does the fact that 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.599 the Riskins have a typebreaker on us as well. That 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.279 kind of gives me pause as well, seeing how well 0:05:07.320 --> 0:05:11.520 they played yesterday. I just really think that should be us. 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.840 That should be us who should be in the front 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:17.640 of this whole train instead of back in the caboose. 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:20.600 And by the way, along those lines and making this 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:24.600 just second along those lines you mentioned Washington. Washington has 0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:28.440 now won three They've won four straight games overall, but 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:32.480 they have won three straight games since the fake punt 0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:36.039 on Thanksgiving Day. The Cowboys were only trailing twenty to 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:38.239 sixteen in that game when they ran the fake punt, 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.960 and they Washington went on to win that game. Then 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:45.120 they beat the unbeaten Steelers the next week, and now 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:47.440 this time they go, it's is something we could have 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:51.240 done as well. So it always lets me know we 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.360 are who we are and where we are because of 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.760 who we are. That's right. And sorry, the Cowboys exposed 0:05:57.760 --> 0:05:59.960 the Steelers about a month ago, and now people are 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.520 taken advantage of that. Yeah, all right, Mickey, I got 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:06.080 I got reminded of that, uh that that fake punt 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:10.880 last night watching the news. By the way, Bill couldn't 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:21.440 wait for me. Boy, Look, the wind would have seemed 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.120 a lot better if the Saints had done what they 0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:27.560 were supposed to do. Uh and and and they would 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.880 have got some help from uh the forty nine ers. 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:35.640 Uh and look I get it, Washington, you know, ball right, 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:41.440 it was great, but they had two defensive returns for touchdowns. 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:46.719 They scored what twenty three points, so they they basically 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.200 they basically scored Uh if my if my math is 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:56.240 good without the fourteen you know what? You know what 0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:01.080 they're saying in Washington today about the Cowboys. No, that's fine, 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.719 but their offense scored nine points. I get it, I 0:07:04.839 --> 0:07:07.560 get it, and they lost their quarterback to not now 0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:12.400 how long who knows. Yeah, so there you go. So 0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.880 um I saw that doing the game. I saw them 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.880 rubbing his leg down. I thought he was just getting 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:21.520 a rub down to go back in the game. And 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:24.480 then the next thing I know, I see h Haskins 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:30.760 in there and doing decent work, doing decent work against 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:33.840 the number one defense. Had everybody else lost like the 0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.200 Giants did, then I would have said, oh, this is great, right, 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:40.000 because then they're only a game back with with with 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:46.080 three to go. But even though they want what all right, 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:50.240 should not be concerned about the Eagles, Okay, because if 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:52.680 the Cowboys are gonna win this, I'm not worried about Yeah, 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:55.520 that's right. So the Eagle the Washington is the issue. 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.720 Washington is the issue. Yes, I mean, the Cowboys control 0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:01.960 their destiny is far as the Eagles are concerned. And 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:06.200 because if the Cowboys just and with the Giants too, 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:08.840 because all they got to do is win out and 0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:11.600 they will take care of business against both those teams. 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.480 Washington is the problem. And that was what was so 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:19.280 problematical about them without scoring an offensive touchdown, right, Mickey, 0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:23.520 they win against San Francisco yesterday, because you look at 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.400 the at the Washington schedule the rest of the way, 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.960 and uh, they've got so they've got three games. Who 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.160 do they play this? I got a ring on her. Seattle. 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:38.280 They've got Seattle, Seattle, Okay in Carolina. Yeah, and we 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:44.319 can't count out Seattle to do anything, right, And so basically, 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.720 what if it's gonna be a head to head tie 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:56.960 with Washington, then Washington has got to lose lose out right, Yep, no, 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:02.960 because it can't. They No, they can't because the here's 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:07.400 the only way. The Cowboys don't have the tiebreaker against Washington. 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.480 So if you're in a head to head tie with Washington, 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.280 Washington's got the tiebreaker. So the Cowboys have to win 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.280 their final three. Washington has to lose their final three. 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:19.880 Now here's the caveat on that the Cowboys, I believe. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.480 I looked at it last night. If it's a three 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:28.079 way tie between the giants Washington and Dallas, it would 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.800 come down to the conference tiebreaker and Dallas would have 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.920 the advantage if this plays out. So what you have 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:36.360 to have happened then is you have to have the 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:42.360 Washington lose two out of their next three games against Seattle, Carolina, Philly, 0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:46.120 and you need but here's a problem. You need New 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:51.400 York to beat Cleveland and Baltimore and then lose to 0:09:51.440 --> 0:09:54.800 the Cowboys in the last game. And so yeah, but 0:09:55.080 --> 0:10:00.320 the chances of the Giants beating Cleveland and Baltimore, that's dice, right. 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.480 I think. I think, though, you need to look at 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:06.920 your tiebreaker thing because I think common opponents comes before 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:12.400 the conference thing hit All right, well, then that would 0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.400 be in a problem. So it's that would have taken 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.240 too much work. It would it's it's head to it's 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:21.160 head to head, it's division record. Then I think it's 0:10:21.520 --> 0:10:26.040 common opponents before conference record. I'll double check, but I 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.240 think that's the way it had double check that because 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.520 I had conference record next, and if it's conference record, 0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:34.600 the Cowboys would be at six and six and both 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.440 the Giants in Washington would be five and seven. If 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:41.000 that scenario, why I said what I said Originally, I'd 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:44.000 feel a lot better about this victory had the other 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:49.800 two teams lost, but they didn't lose, and especially Washington, 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:53.120 as I wrote, basically, the win gives the Cowboys a 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:58.640 stay of elimination. Yeah, that's that lateral step I was 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:03.199 talking about. And by the way, tell me, when they 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:05.760 went into the fourth quarter and it's twenty to seven, 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.760 you were feeling really good about this team dominating the 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:12.040 rest of the way, right. Well, when I ask you 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:16.800 this and they're waiting for the next shot to fall, forget, 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:20.800 forget twenty to seven. How about when some I J. P. 0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.520 Ryan runs into the end zone exactly and it was 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:26.080 it's about to be twenty to fourteen if not for 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:30.560 that flag laying on the ground back there, Well he 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:33.360 kind of ripped his jersey, and I would call that. 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.400 I would call that that was a legitimate call. I 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.440 think it wasn't. But if they didn't make the call, 0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.840 some type of flag, I think that one Jima call. Yeah, 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:44.920 I'm not saying it's not a legitimate call, but they 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.000 could have just as easily not called it too. That's 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:51.160 true what we've been accustomed to with that's because it 0:11:51.240 --> 0:11:55.480 wasn't ever since. That's because it wasn't a prime time game. 0:11:55.520 --> 0:11:58.400 It was a new game, and so the Cowboys, the 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:00.640 Cowboys weren't going to get screwed on calls in the 0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:09.960 Newton game at Cincinnati, they're just fine there. Yeah, look, 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.319 so make you watch your big takeaway about this Cowboys 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.319 win though it's it's a win, and a win is 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:20.880 a win, right, And if Mike McCarthy's goal is to 0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:24.200 sweep the final four games, you couldn't have done that 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:27.439 without winning the first of the four games. So the 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:31.520 least they have that little carrot to dangle among themselves 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.040 to see if they can finish this season strong with 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:38.480 a little bit of momentum going into the off season. 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:46.400 But you know, look the defense. They got the turnovers, 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.200 I got it, they got the takeaways, right, But look 0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:53.280 at the drive Cincinnati. Cincinnati, their offense I think was 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:58.080 ranked twenty ninth thirty something like that. They drive fifty 0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:02.040 three yards, it ends in amble, they drive fifty five yards, 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.280 ends in a fumble, seventy seven yards in a touchdown, 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:09.720 and then eighty yards and they're stopped on fourth down 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:12.480 at the ten yard line. So it wasn't like this 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.400 was you know, I know it's only seven points, but 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:17.960 I think you got to take it with a grain 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.880 of salt considering how well Cincinnati moved the ball with 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:24.880 a backup quarterback who couldn't hit the side of a 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.440 barn with a pass as many wide up and guys 0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:32.200 he'd missed, and they ran for one hundred leather hundred 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.640 yards against the Cowboys. So yeah, it's a good win. 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.840 I get it, but I just gotta think you gotta 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:43.320 put it in perspective. You know what, this reminds me 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:47.720 of last year when the Cowboys started off so strong 0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:52.440 against some of the weaker teams in the NFL. And 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:55.720 even at that time, we and I know I had 0:13:55.800 --> 0:14:00.560 pause in regards to yes, we're winning the games. But 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:05.439 remember that's the second butt fumble that we've had by 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.080 running back in the past two years that we've grown 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.199 up against. I remember against the Dolphins, they were moving 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.640 the ball on us last year and they were horrible 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.960 last year. We blew them out, but early on in 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:22.720 the first half, they were driving on us and the 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.800 running back runs right into the back of his offensive lineman. 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:29.240 He fumbles the ball and that saved us from making 0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:33.680 that game even tighter at the end of the first half. 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:37.160 And I told you, guys, I said, even though we're winning, 0:14:37.840 --> 0:14:40.320 I don't like the way our defense is playing. We 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.760 haven't really stopped anyone. I think we were relying to 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:48.040 live off of our feed off of our offense. I 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.480 think that's what we're still doing right now, because as 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:54.360 you look at those drives that you mentioned, SPADs all 0:14:54.360 --> 0:14:56.520 of them, they were running the ball right down our throats. 0:14:57.200 --> 0:14:59.720 They were still running the ball on those three downs 0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:04.200 right down our throats. I don't feel any better about 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:08.680 our run defense right now than I did before the game. 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.920 It's still the same feeling. If anyone wants to come 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.360 in here, if I would mainly three opponents, they still 0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:19.080 will feel extremely comfortable about. They don't even have to 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:22.040 make one pass. They could just run the ball on 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.880 us for the entire game if they choose to, I 0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:27.480 still have death fear. So and by the way, taking 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.320 it back to that possession that Mickey you were talking about, 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:32.440 to where it was twenty to seven and then p 0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:36.000 Ryan goes in a thirteen yard run gets called back holding, 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.440 But now you're they're set back. They were only set 0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.160 back to the twenty yard line. They threw it to 0:15:40.240 --> 0:15:43.240 p Ryan for five, and so now you got second 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:47.160 and twelve. At the fifteen I would have given it 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.040 bit to p Ryan two more times though again yeah, 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:54.640 and they wound up throwing the ball twice. But if 0:15:54.640 --> 0:15:56.600 I'm in Cincinnati and I want to win, I don't 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:58.280 you know. I don't know the Cincinnati wanted to win 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:01.440 the game. Maybe they didn't. But if you want to 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.680 win the game, just and if you've scouted the Cowboys, 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.640 give it to pe Ryan or Williams or Bernard or 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.240 one of them, and and just try to run your way, 0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.440 because they could have got a first down even before 0:16:12.520 --> 0:16:16.640 scoring a touchdown. Yeah, so are you telling me that 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:19.440 they might be taking the game so they can get 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:24.680 Lawrence from Clemson and they already have barrels from No, no, no, 0:16:24.720 --> 0:16:29.920 they're not, They're not. I was gonna says, do you 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.640 need and they and they already have a two and 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.600 a half game lead, or they're behind by two and 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:41.080 a half games to the Jets in that race. Anyway, 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.800 well maybe maybe maybe maybe the Bengals. Maybe the Bengals 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.640 saw who the Cowboys had playing cornerback at that point 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:52.720 of the game. Are you you lose your two starters, 0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:55.680 you're already down digs and then you lose those two 0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:59.320 guys in the game, and at one point you're playing 0:16:59.360 --> 0:17:03.640 with Burt Deonte Burton and Chris Restreet taking his first 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:07.240 snaps in the National Football League. Right, it's like, get 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:10.560 in there, Chris, go ahead. They Jay Green might laying 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.160 line up right in fun of you. And by the way, 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:17.240 you mentioned how about giving him some help? How about 0:17:17.280 --> 0:17:20.560 giving him there? That's what about? That's what about less 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.560 double green on this play? Well, they should have actually 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:29.240 making a game. Actually, Mickey on that uh on that 0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:33.520 first and seventeen passed to p Rhin Westry got hurt 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:35.240 on that play, so he was out of there and 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:37.560 he walked off right and they had to bring I 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:40.240 think they book in Savian Smith back with a broken 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:46.280 bone in his hand. You mentioned the Dolphins Robinson go down, 0:17:46.320 --> 0:17:48.480 but thank god he came back in a Yeah, you 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:51.280 mentioned the Dolphins game last year. That's the last time 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:54.800 the Cowboys had held in a point opponent to less 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:58.720 than ten points in a game. By the way, so 0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:01.359 this was the first time since that game, so twenty 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.200 I think I counted twenty nine games it's been since 0:18:04.240 --> 0:18:10.399 they've been able to do that. And so yeah, I 0:18:10.520 --> 0:18:13.040 just I don't know. It's a win. I get it. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:15.480 It's a nice win for Andy Dalton to do what 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:20.439 he did, But as I said, he got showered with 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.520 water as he came into the into the locker room 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.719 after the game. But let's not confuse that with champagne. Okay, 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:32.840 m let's not do that. I enjoyed watching it, but 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.080 like I said, Sat, it was an emptiness as I 0:18:36.160 --> 0:18:40.440 watched the game, I didn't feel excited about our opportunities 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:44.520 because we didn't improve our position. And that's what that's 0:18:44.560 --> 0:18:46.920 what I wanted yesterday to be. I want to improve 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:52.200 our position by gaining some leverage on these guys. And man, 0:18:52.800 --> 0:18:55.360 let's just face it, the NFC East is stepping up, 0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:58.560 you know, and thank God for the reputation of the 0:18:58.640 --> 0:19:02.119 NFC East, but as not doing well for the Cowboys 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.240 and even the Eagles at this point, well, let's let's 0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:07.160 look at it this way. They they ended they ended 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:11.800 Pittsburgh's unbeaten streak, right, and then the Saints had won 0:19:11.960 --> 0:19:18.080 nine straight and they ended that, so go figure and whatever, Seattle, 0:19:18.119 --> 0:19:23.159 and a week before Giants ended that exactly exactly. So 0:19:23.200 --> 0:19:26.040 the NFC East here in the last two weeks has 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:30.920 knocked off three division leaders. Yeah, and that's the other 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:33.720 thing I wanted. I wanted us to be one of 0:19:33.760 --> 0:19:37.840 those teams. Why couldn't we be one of those teams 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:41.840 to go ahead and finish your task. We had that 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:45.240 opportunity when we played Pittsburgh, and that's what gives me pause. 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.600 The NFC East is stepping up, but the Cowboys are 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:53.440 still going sideways. Okay, I don't know if it still 0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:57.240 feels like a victory Monday or not, but we'll see. 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:04.160 There was every Monday and then both Mickey and Everson 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:07.160 and brought down the room. So here we are. We're 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:10.800 four and nine again, and we continue with more mix shots. 0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:14.040 We'll find out something else we can be bummed about.

Very day 0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:15.080 is the same to me. Yeah, it's just it's just 0:23:15.160 --> 0:23:18.280 been running together. I forgot all about Thanksgiving, man, I'm 0:23:18.280 --> 0:23:20.320 still trying to remember what I did then. It's just 0:23:20.720 --> 0:23:23.960 he watched the Cowboys. He watched a fake punt on 0:23:24.080 --> 0:23:28.520 Thanksgiving I'm trying to put that out of my mind. 0:23:28.600 --> 0:23:33.000 I'm so sorry. You know what. One of my takes 0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:36.400 from watching NFL games though yesterday and and it kind 0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:38.520 of gets back to what you're talking about ever soon 0:23:38.640 --> 0:23:43.480 about the Steelers. There how many good teams, I mean, 0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:47.040 really good teams are there in this league. I got 0:23:47.400 --> 0:23:52.440 I got one, I got two, Okay, I got Kansas City. Yeah, 0:23:52.480 --> 0:23:55.680 and who's your second? I got Buffalo and Buffalo David 0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:59.879 bressed me. Okay. I was waiting for them to be 0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:03.280 inconsistent last night, right, But to show that kind of 0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:07.399 consistency against two very good teams who had something to 0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:09.960 prove against them. You know, it's not just that you 0:24:10.000 --> 0:24:13.760 win a game, it's the circumstances around the game. And 0:24:13.800 --> 0:24:17.639 the circumstances around both of those last two Buffalo games. 0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:21.800 They bowed heavily to me against Buffalo, and they came 0:24:21.840 --> 0:24:24.080 in and did business. They did their work that they 0:24:24.160 --> 0:24:30.960 had to do, and that's consistent in how they did it. Yeah, 0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:33.760 and and and the Saints too, you know, And I 0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:35.840 know when you win that many games, you're due to 0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:40.040 lose one. And all this talk about Tayson Hill and 0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:43.200 oh well, Drew Brees is back. I don't know, he 0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:46.959 may be the backup, and I'm going, yeah that that 0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:50.360 argument ended yesterday because I thought that he had some 0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:53.399 plays that were pretty shaky, missed some things that he 0:24:53.440 --> 0:24:57.120 shouldn't have missed. Yeah. So yeah, so now you got 0:24:57.119 --> 0:25:02.120 the Saints and then I mean who else? Who else 0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:05.920 in the NFC? I mean who you fired up about? 0:25:05.960 --> 0:25:09.480 I guess the Packers maybe, but they've showed that they're susceptible. 0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:14.879 Yeah so yeah, you look, the bottom line is if 0:25:14.920 --> 0:25:18.080 you can play defense, you can survive. That's how Kansas 0:25:18.080 --> 0:25:22.360 City survived, right, They played well defensively, they were stinking 0:25:22.400 --> 0:25:29.600 it up on it. It's not just how well you play, 0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:33.840 it's the plays that you make exactly most important critical 0:25:33.920 --> 0:25:36.960 times in the ball game. And that comes from experience. 0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:41.160
