1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks.

2
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: What's up, everybody, Take a deep breath with us here

3
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: and try and try and absorb everything just happened in

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: the NFL week Week fifteen was bonkers. DJ Bucky here

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 1: with you on our takeaway podcast, Buck, I can't remember

6
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: a Sunday quite like the one we just witnessed today.

7
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: No crazy, dramatic endings, controversial calls, big plays, quarterbacks making

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: plays down the stretch. Everything that you want to see

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: from NFL football we were able to see this weekend. Yeah,

10
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: let's let's jump right into it with what I think

11
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: was the game of the year and potential preview of

12
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: the a f C Championship game. That was New England

13
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: versus Pittsburgh, which had all kind of up and ups

14
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: and downs. The big play of the game though, and

15
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: we'll get into it here in a second, and just

16
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta listen to this one to appreciate it.

17
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 1: There he goes there downplay Thanks the spike still has

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: it that Fas says, sped the same of the game

19
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: by hard and the Patriots are gonna absolutely amazing, Bucky,

20
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: I mean, just just initial thought when you're watching that

21
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: drive the end of the game here Juju Smith Schuster

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: takes a shower across sixty yards, puts them in scoring position.

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: They think they have a touchdown, which is reversed, so

24
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: then they get another completion. They're right down there, the

25
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: clock's running. Ben gets up to the line scrimmage you

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: just heard it, fakes the spike and tries to jam

27
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: the ball into the middle of the field against the

28
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: Patriots down to the goal line. I believe we've seen

29
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,479
Speaker 1: that before, buck uh, and the same result took place.

30
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: The Steelers end up blowing a golden opportunity and the

31
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: Patriots sneak out of there with a win. Uh. Crazy, ridiculous.

32
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: I don't really understand what Big Ben was trying to do.

33
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: I understand the fake spite, and I fully expected him

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: to do it. But typically you want to throw things

35
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: that are outbreaking, so the quarterback and either throw it

36
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: high and out side so it's an incomplete so you

37
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: can kick the field goal to win it. But to

38
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: throw something inside with all those bodies, and to throw

39
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: a high ball as opposed to a low ball, tips

40
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 1: and overthrows. We knew the ball was gonna be deflected,

41
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: then it's the easy interception. He basically undid distillers chances

42
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: of winning in overtime by just trying to make a

43
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: hero play. And it was unnecessary. Yeah, it just kind

44
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: of just a really kind of a bone headed place.

45
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if if maybe Juju Smith Schuster. You look,

46
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: he's a rookie. He had a big game that catch.

47
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: I just mentioned to get them down there in scoring position.

48
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: Did he bust? I mean, that's the only thing I

49
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: can think of. But in that situation, that is a

50
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: back shoulder fade or that is a high point fade

51
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: at the pylon, there is nothing, no incut. You're not

52
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: throwing an in cut. They're off of a fake spike.

53
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: It's too there's too much, too much mudd in there.

54
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: There's no way. That just didn't make any sense for

55
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: a veteran quarterback to make that throw. No, I didn't,

56
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: And I think he's signaled to you know, Rogers, because

57
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: what was interesting the three guys that were to the left,

58
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: they didn't move. They actually played like it was a

59
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: clock play, clock play, just as when you take the

60
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: ball and you throw it down in the dirt to

61
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: kind of stop the cloud, No one moves, everyone makes

62
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: sure they're on side, but then he ran his slan.

63
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,119
Speaker 1: I just think if you're going to do that, I'm

64
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: just not a big believer in saying a lot um

65
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: playing around ball, particularly those critical moments. And I think

66
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: it kind of speaks to big Ben always wonders why

67
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: he's not mentioned in the same breath as the Drew

68
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: Brees and Tom Brady's. I think this is another player

69
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: that kind of is indicative of why when you think

70
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: about those guys and how they have kind of put

71
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: together their reputation for being clutch and key moments and

72
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: leading people back. I think for Ben, a lot of

73
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: times we see him make plays, but it's more of

74
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: a gun slinger variety, not as a calculated, meticulous playmaker

75
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: that can carve you up with his brain and his

76
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: in his arm. Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that. By

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: the way, You're right it was Eli Rogers do that

78
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: ball was intended to Uh, not Juju Smith Schuster on

79
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: the interception, But man, crazy game back and forth. I'll

80
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: tell you what if not for the interception at the

81
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: end of the game and uh and that crazy, crazy

82
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: moment everyone was buzzing about I think the buzz of

83
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: this game is and we talked about it, uh during

84
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: last week preview in these games was look, they did

85
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: not have any man beaters against Miami. That was the

86
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,799
Speaker 1: problem with this football team. When you don't have Edelman,

87
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: who's been out for the year, who's a man beater,

88
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: and you don't have Gronk, your left basically with Brandon Cooks,

89
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: and when he got wiped out by Xavian Howard, there

90
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: were no other alternatives. On the drive where they had

91
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: to have a game winning drive. Tom Brady went to

92
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: number eighty seven repeatedly, buck and they had no answer

93
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: for Gronk on that drive. It's kind of crazy too,

94
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: like you know that he is their number one guy,

95
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: he's in number but what are you doing? It just

96
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. And

97
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: so I just I really just don't understand what the

98
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Stealers were doing. Everyone had talked about and then

99
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: playing man to man being um a man heavy team,

100
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: and they just I just think they're spooked. To be honest,

101
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: I think they're spooking. And I think if they played

102
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: the New England Pages again, I don't think it'll be close.

103
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 1: I think they will blow them out in Jolette Stadium.

104
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: So if they were going to win, this was the

105
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: game that they needed to win to maybe change the mindset.

106
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: They didn't get it done. So I think it'd be

107
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: a much easier time for the Pages if they match

108
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: up in a rematch. They could well do that. Look,

109
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: we could spend the whole podcast just talking about this game.

110
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: So many crazy moments, big plays. Uh, just a really

111
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: really fun game to watch. But we gotta keep the

112
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: train moving here, Buck, what's what do you got for

113
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: number two on the list? Blake Borders may be good

114
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: enough to lead the Jaguars to the Super Bowl, yelled

115
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: in the running back. It's the shotgun. He dropped the

116
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: throw of his blade, light looks, looks, fires toward the

117
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: gold line pot by Jadon Nikins and in the end

118
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: zone touchdown. How many does this guy playing on? Scoring touchdown? Jacksonville.

119
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: He I am the hardest and harshest critic on Blake Bortles,

120
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: but I got admit, last three games he's played pretty well. Um,

121
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: He's been over a complete over seventy percent of his passes.

122
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: He has a seven to zero touchdown the interception ratio

123
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: and today because the Houston's Texans defense that they needed

124
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: to knock out, he knocked him out twenty nine over

125
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: three hundred yards, three touchdowns. He's been accurate, he's been decisive,

126
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: he's been efficient, he's been good enough to compliment the

127
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: run game in the defense. If this Blake Border shows up,

128
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are gonna be one of the final four

129
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: and they have a good chance and finding their way

130
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl. And we talked about the Steelers

131
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: on point number one, point number two. Here you're talking

132
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,160
Speaker 1: about these Jags of Blake Bordles absolutely playing great. Their

133
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 1: defensive line. Thought they dominated the game at Clay's Campbell

134
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: picking up a couple more sacks. But to me, Buck,

135
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: the takeaway I had from this Jags team is what

136
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: we used to say about the Steelers who we just mentioned,

137
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: and and Kevin Colbert, how he is the best at

138
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: evaluating wide receivers and Steelers just keep just turning these

139
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: guys over and they'll let guys going for agency, just

140
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: keep replace them and replace them and just finding gems

141
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: in the draft. May you look at this Jaggs receiving

142
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: corps where they've been able to find these guys drafted, undrafted,

143
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: high picks, low picks. You look at Jadon Mickens getting

144
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: it going to day dd Westbrook had a couple more

145
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: grabs and then Keelan Cole seven for a buck eighty

146
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: six and a touchdown. Uh. They have done a phenomenal job.

147
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: When you're missing Allen Robinson, you're missing Hearns and they

148
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: come out there. Marquis League gets hurt in this game,

149
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: it didn't matter. They have found a way to to

150
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: plug in wide receivers and not skip a beat. They

151
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: absolutely have been able to find that. And I have

152
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: to give a shout out to a couple of different people.

153
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: One to Jerry Sullivan, the Jaguars old wide receiver coach,

154
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: for the work that he did with Alan Robinson, Alan

155
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 1: Hearns and Marquis Lee. And then I also have to

156
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: tip my cap to Keena mccartio, my former teammate in Jacksonville,

157
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: who is now the wide receiver coach. He has done

158
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 1: a great job with these young receivers, all the guys

159
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: that you talked about, Cole, Mickens, Westbrook, he has really

160
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: worked with those guys. Those guys are playing like vets.

161
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: I just believe the Jaguars have a recipe, a formula

162
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: for developing wide receivers, and it's beginning to play huge

163
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: dividends as Blake Borders is maturing into what appears to

164
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: be a very good quarterback. No question, didn't see that

165
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: one coming this year. I mean, it wasn't that long ago.

166
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: They were looking at options and Chad Henning was going

167
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: to be the guy again. So what what a transformation

168
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: for Blake Bortles this year. Let's keep the training rolling here.

169
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: Number three on the list, Nick Foles just fine for

170
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Flose looks, close, fires, and it is and

171
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: Nick Foles look. He throws for two or thirty seven yards, okay,

172
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: four touchdowns, no picks and his first rattle of the

173
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: box here to replace Carson Wentz As the Eagles trying

174
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: to make a push for home field advantage. They did

175
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: clinch a bye in the postseason with their win over

176
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,719
Speaker 1: the Giants today, a close game twenty nine. Like, we

177
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: could talk all we want about fols Buck. I thought

178
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: he was he was excellent. He's not Carson Wentz, but

179
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: he's good enough for them to make some noise here.

180
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: I would like to throw in though, hats off the

181
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: Giant for not just throwing the ball out there and

182
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: and and laying over and playing dead to win team.

183
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 1: They came out there and give the Eagles everything they

184
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: could handle. And I have to say, look, the Eagles, Buck,

185
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: You've got to be a little bit concerned of the

186
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: points they are giving up the last couple of weeks,

187
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: the balls moving up and down the field. They've got

188
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 1: some timely turnovers. Darby had a big pick in this

189
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: one that kind of changed the game. But man, it's

190
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: it's it's a like through a four hundred and thirt

191
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 1: or four yards in this game. The ball was moving

192
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: up and down the field. That's a concern if you're

193
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 1: an Eagles fan, it's a little concerning. But I think

194
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: you have to understand that Jim Swartz is now going

195
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: to have to adjust to the way his offense is

196
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 1: playing so he can make sure that he compliments them

197
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: in the right manner. I think the big thing when

198
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: you look at early in the season, with the Philadelphia

199
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: Eagles scoring the points they were to score, he was

200
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: able to play maybe a more conservative style of defense.

201
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: Maybe he felt like the last game or so that

202
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: without Carson Wentz available, maybe he needed to be a

203
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: little more aggressive, made a little more susceptible to some

204
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 1: big play opportunities, which is why we saw the ball flower.

205
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: They had more than normal. I believe it's he continues

206
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: to work with the new quarterback and get a feel

207
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: for how good he can make the offense. I think

208
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: you'll see sports put together complimentary game plans that allows

209
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: their defense to get back to doing what they were

210
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: doing well, stopping running pressure, passer, keeping the ball in front.

211
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: No question. All right, what's what's number four on the list?

212
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: Jimmy g is special. Garoppolo. Rowlands extends to play fires

213
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: to the end zone, touchdown forty Niners, Garrett Sellek. Jimmy

214
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: Garoppolo extended the play. When you look at the quarterback position,

215
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: and we talk about franchise quarterbacks and quarterbacks in general,

216
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: how they are either trucks or trailers. You're looking for

217
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 1: someone that can elevate the play of his teammates, someone

218
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: that can basically put it all on his back and

219
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: carry the squad to the promised land. I think in

220
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: three weeks we've already seen that Jimmy Garoppolo is a

221
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: guy that is going to be a truck and He's

222
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a great truck for the forty niners for

223
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: a long time. He has let their play. He's made

224
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: clutch plays down the stretch. He continues to deliver, and

225
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: he is doing it with the same cast of characters

226
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: that Brian Hoyer and C. J. Beetha couldn't do. I

227
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: believe the San Francisco fody none to ship, open up

228
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: the coffers write the check because you can either pay

229
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: now or you can pay a lot later. Well, you

230
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: think you send a nice Christmas present to Foxboro, we

231
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: can make sure we get him a nice little gift card.

232
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: They could come down. Look, if he plays like he

233
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: has these first few weeks that he's been rolling here,

234
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,560
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about a bargain. Bargain didn't even

235
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: cost him a first round pick, and they got a

236
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,439
Speaker 1: young quarterback in his prime. I mean, look, who's got

237
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: tons of upside and even ahead of him, and he's

238
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: just scratching service of what he can do. Now. Look,

239
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 1: they haven't played the eighty five Bears since he took over,

240
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: and they didn't play the actual Bears, but not the

241
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: eighty five Bears. Uh So this is uh, let's just

242
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: wait and see how this goes in the future. But man,

243
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: you talk about an encouraging start here to the Jimmy

244
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: Garoppolo era, it's been, Uh, it's been quite impressive. Racking

245
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: up three straight wins for football team. That's that's not

246
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 1: very good offensively, Buck, we have a whole lot, it's

247
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: very impressive. This is why they gotta beat him to

248
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: the deal. Like obviously, doing your time in Philadelphia, you

249
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 1: understand how Philadelphia as signed guys early two deals to

250
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine. Is they need to rush the

251
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: check to Jimmy garoppolos see if they can get him

252
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 1: to sign a deal just in the maybe twenty million

253
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 1: dollar range. Because the more he plays, the more teams

254
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: are going to fall in love. And if he is

255
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 1: the streets, it's gonna be a bid and war. And

256
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 1: so I believe you should feel comfortable about what he is,

257
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: what he's bringing to the table, how he's performing in

258
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: your offense, in your scheme. Go ahead and lock him up.

259
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 1: And I'm not a proponent of locking up players earlier,

260
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: but he need to lock him up, no question. Get

261
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: him some uh go, get go, get him some tools

262
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: in the NFL draft. Now, now that you have the

263
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: quarterback position lockdown. It's time to fus on and get

264
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: him some toys to play with. Yeah, that's what they

265
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: gotta do. Although that pick keeps getting a little worse

266
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,839
Speaker 1: and worse with stop stop doing so well, Jimmy g

267
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: I thought, I thought when they lined up for that

268
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: field goal, I thought, you're gonna have a situation where

269
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: Shanahan kind of pulled a Cobra Kai and just told

270
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: him to see, Yeah, just just miss it, sweep to leg,

271
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: miss that thing, you know, just just hook it and

272
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: then the kicker. We're looking at me like, but but

273
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 1: since I can, then I can make the can. That's

274
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: too good? Did I? Did I stutter freaking hook that thing?

275
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: Come on, send it, send it into the into the

276
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: tenth row somewhere. Yeah, so good. All right, let's let's

277
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: keep it rolling here. A number five on the list

278
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: the Panthers. Man, I don't think anybody's gonna want to

279
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: see this team in the postseason. They're dangerous. There's a

280
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 1: low snap, Roger's back looks coming throws on the slant

281
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: right side cut by Alice, and he's hit the ball

282
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 1: came out. There's a fight for it. Looks like Carolina

283
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: is on top of it. The officials coming in and

284
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: take a look. It's Panthers football. Yeah you hear. They're

285
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: the turnovers generated by this Panthers team. Man, they get

286
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: three three interceptions off Aaron Rodgers. They pump pumped the ball,

287
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 1: pop the ball out as well with a fumble recovery.

288
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: This uh, this defense is opportunistic. And okay, I mean,

289
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: look all the talk about Aaron Rodgers and here you've

290
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: got Cam Newton come into this game. All he does

291
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: is throw for four touchdowns fifty eight yards on the ground.

292
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we call him the Unicorn for a reason.

293
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: I know that's I guess porzingis is nickname in the

294
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: in the NBA. But nobody can do all the things

295
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: that Cam Newton can do in the package that he

296
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: brings to the table. Just it's it's it's pretty scary, man.

297
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: And you look at this team quietly tenant four. They

298
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: get into the postseason, I don't think anybody's gonna be

299
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: too happy about drawing them in the first round of

300
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs. No. No one wants to deal with the

301
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers or Cam Newton because he is so unique.

302
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: He did have four touchdowns day. We saw him run

303
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: the ball, we saw him make big plays. He is

304
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: everything that you look for at the position, and when

305
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 1: he gets down to UH crunch time, he is going

306
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: to make those plays. I was encouraged about what we

307
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: saw his connection with Greg Olsen and CMC Christian McCaffrey.

308
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: If they continue to get it done over the middle

309
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: of the field, Carolina Panthers are going to be tough

310
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: because the defense is also playing lights out. My man,

311
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: Julius Peppers thirty seven years old, still getting ten sacks.

312
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: That's bananas. Yeah, that's ridiculous. Tar heels man, that's how

313
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: they make those guys down. There were a question for

314
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: you when you look at this Packers defense and considering

315
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: the age of some of these guys, and if you're

316
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: trying to put that that scattering report together, that advanced

317
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: scoutter report that we used to have to work on.

318
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: Does anybody scare you on this Packers defense at all? Anybody? No,

319
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: they don't. And I think here's a here's a big problem.

320
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: When you have Aaron Rodgers and your quarterback is beginning

321
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: to get older, your quarterback needs more help. He needs

322
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: more support, and the support that they're lacking is defensively.

323
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: They don't have guys that can necessarily press the pass

324
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: and create turnovers due to things that you want to

325
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 1: see where they can tilt um the field tilting in

326
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: the favor of the Packers. And they also don't have

327
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: enough weapons in the running game. Um. I like some

328
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: running backs, but offense line has been productive. You have

329
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: to give him the opportunity to be able to throw

330
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: off play action. But if you're not able to run

331
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: the ball consistently, play action is null and void. I

332
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: need to see the Panthers do. I need to see

333
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: the Packers do more to help the young quarterback, not

334
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: the young quarterback. You helped the quarterback continue to play

335
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 1: at a high level. Yeah, Look, they only ran the

336
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: ball nineteen times, actually average six point three yards to carry,

337
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: but just put it up in the here forty five times.

338
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: Had some turnovers that came along with it. But I

339
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: think this Packers team, I know they've used a lot

340
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: of draft capital over the last handful of years on

341
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. I think they got

342
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: to keep going back to that. Well though, I just

343
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: that defense doesn't really do a whole lot for me.

344
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 1: It's not a championship caliber defense. It needs to be addressed.

345
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: What do you got here? Number six? Actually, before we

346
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: get the number six, got a little something to a

369
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: Vikings are the best team in the NFC. Say from

370
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: his own twenty three play clock to one they get

371
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: it off. Dalton looks left. Pennison intercepted Kendricks near sign

372
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: Eric Cathericks with a thirty yard pick six zero. The

373
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings a well positioned to be the number one

374
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 1: seed in the NFC. They have a team that is

375
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: built to make a deep postseason run. When I look

376
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 1: at them, they don't have any glaring weaknesses on offense, defense,

377
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: or even in their special teams. Sure, we can talk

378
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:41,479
Speaker 1: about the quarterback losing Sam Bradford, who was playing at

379
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 1: an all time high level. However, Case Kingdom is bawling

380
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: another game where he's been efficient twenty of twenty three,

381
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: two thirty six, two touchdowns, does a great job of

382
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: managing the game from the line of scrimmage. And then defensively,

383
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: they're just wearing you out with their front seven, they

384
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: can obliterate you when they choose to blitz. They can

385
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: play bass and continue to get pressure and then to

386
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 1: back in. Any of these corners can still lock it

387
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: up and create turnovers. I mean they're built like a

388
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: heavyweight contender, so someone's gonna have to knock them out

389
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 1: to deal with them. Yeah, this is this NFC is

390
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 1: loaded with teams. I think there's a handful of teams

391
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: that canna end up coming out of the NFC when

392
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: it's all said and done. But the Minnesota Vikings have

393
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: been consistent throughout the season. They've been consistent on both

394
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: sides the ball. They've been balanced offensively, They're generating big

395
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: plays on defense. There's a really, really good football team

396
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: on the other side. Real quick. Marvin Lewis came out

397
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: before the game's I think Ian rapp report as well

398
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: as ESPN had to report out there saying this will

399
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: be it for him in Cincinnati. Something we think we

400
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: talked about on last week's pod, talking about, Hey, look

401
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: at this point in time, I think it's been fifteen years,

402
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 1: the message a little stale. I think it's best for

403
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 1: both parties just go get a new challenge. Somewhere and

404
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: let's get some life in this this Bengals organization. It

405
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: looks stale, looks flat, and they did not even show up.

406
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: For the credit, we gave the Giants to showing up

407
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: and given the the Eagles a ball game. The Cincinnati

408
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,440
Speaker 1: Bengals did not get off the bus in Minnesota. Not

409
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: absolutely not. It was an embarrassment. They didn't compete. They

410
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: were now early, and they didn't must much of a fight.

411
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: They saw Marvin Lewis disc got out right for the game.

412
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure the players kind of checked up when they

413
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: heard it. So we'll see if he can get them

414
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: to play well. The last two games of the year.

415
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 1: Number seven on the list, the Rams quite the rebound

416
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: with Todd Gurley this week. Center. He turns left shoulder,

417
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: gives a Gurly huge hole left side midfield, curly sputy, curly,

418
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 1: first down, curly touchdown Todd Gurley on third down in

419
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: twenty with the house call and before the half, this

420
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: game is all but finished. Yeah, I mean the game

421
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:49,640
Speaker 1: was finished. Uh. That was complete domination in that game?

422
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: Was it thirty four to nothing? At halftime of this ballgame,

423
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley went off running the ball he started give

424
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: him a little more touches. Uh. Defensively, they could not

425
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: block Aaron Donald. He was dominant force for the Rams.

426
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: It was about as bad as a mismatch. The two

427
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: games today that looked that just the trenches were so

428
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: loposited when you look at what the Jags did to

429
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: the Texans. But then when you look at this Rams

430
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: defensive front, what they did the Seattle Seahawks, it was

431
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 1: a bad matchup. Buck. I think there's a probably a

432
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 1: greater story. I know you want to touch a little

433
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: bit on that takeaway on the other side of the ball,

434
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 1: uh with the Seattle team, But man, this was this

435
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 1: was not close now, but the little it was old

436
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: fashioned beat down. Uh. The only Rams had this coming.

437
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: They they've been waiting for this moment, uh for a while.

438
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: And so when you look at the way that they're

439
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,360
Speaker 1: built offensively, they have playmakers. They're doing a great job

440
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: again in the hands the ball in the hands of

441
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: the guys who can put it in the paint. They're

442
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: doing that. Defensively is where I've seen them make the strives.

443
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: After struggling a little bit early in the season, they're

444
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: beginning to kind of come on like game busses. You

445
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: saw the front four continue to harass and keep pressure on.

446
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: I like the way the Rams are training to be

447
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: a tough out. A hundred and forty nine yards for

448
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: the Seahawks in this game, yis that's a bigger, bigger

449
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: discussion to have on another day about where this team

450
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: goes in the future. Look, they're eight and six, so

451
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: I got a good opportunity here to finish up strong,

452
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: getting the postseason, and they could be a dangerous team

453
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: with Russell Wilson. But man, they they can't enjoy watching

454
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,160
Speaker 1: this tape. That was a beat down there by the Rams.

455
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: What's what do you have? Number eight on the list?

456
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 1: Will the Buffalo Bills play the what if game at

457
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: the end of the season. Cutler and ready to go

458
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 1: the snap. Bills rushed for stocks up front. Cutler gets

459
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,959
Speaker 1: rid of it, Fire's town field picked off, intercepted at

460
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: the forty five yard line, picked up by Travis White.

461
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 1: This time he slides down and this one will end it.

462
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,120
Speaker 1: You know, the Buffalo Bills are back to playing good football,

463
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: and part of the reason they've been able to play

464
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: good football. Obviously we hear about their defense and their

465
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: special teams dominating, but offensively they mean getting enough from

466
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: their upotus early on the must some drives and then

467
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: play downhill, meaning their defense has the opportunity to play

468
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: with the lead. Here's where I think the Buffalo Bills

469
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: fans could be upset at the end of the deal.

470
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: They had an opportunity to really put themselves in a

471
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: nice position when they came out West and they took

472
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: on the l A Chargers for whatever reason that week,

473
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: sh want to see Nathan Peterman play. It was an

474
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 1: epic meltdown disaster charges role they get to win fast

475
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 1: forwarding now, don't you think that they would love to

476
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: have that Bullegan today could go and be like, you know,

477
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: ty Rod, you're gonna start against these guys and let's

478
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: see how we fare. Because ultimately, the way that I'm

479
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: looking at it, they may find they may finish nine

480
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 1: and seven and still finish out of the tournament. If

481
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: they hit ten nine times out of ten, they go,

482
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: We'll see, yeah, look that this uh you've been talking

483
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: about that since that game, that that would end up

484
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: coming back to haunt them. Buck. You like roller coasters.

485
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: I do like roller coasters. Okay, I'm gonna take you

486
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: on a on a roller coaster. In the name of

487
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: this roller coaster is the Jay Cutler roller Coaster. So

488
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: let me let's just go pack a few games here. Now,

489
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: tell me a roller coaster has you know? You've got

490
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: some dips, You've got some spins, got some highs and lows.

491
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: The best roller coasters are the ones where you don't

492
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: know what's coming next. So let me just give you

493
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler for the last few weeks here. How about

494
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: against the Panthers, uh, two touchdowns and a pick? Okay,

495
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: al right, next week against Tampa one touchdown, three picksh

496
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: not good. And he comes back against Denver two touchdowns,

497
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: two picks. Okay, so kind of an average game. Then

498
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, New England three touchdowns, no picks,

499
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 1: plays out of his mind. They beat the Patriots. Come

500
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: back against the Bills the next week, no touchdowns, three picks.

501
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: I mean you, it is a wild roller coaster when

502
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,239
Speaker 1: you have Jay Cutler as your quarterback. Oh it is,

503
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: because I will say this, Um, I don't know if

504
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: he has a high regard for the ball and ball security.

505
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: You don't have a high regard for the ball. Um,

506
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: you kind of Lucy Goosey. And you have a lot

507
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 1: of turn vers as we've done and did the studies,

508
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: when you turn the ball over, you typically lose games.

509
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: And it depends on the margin. And so for j Color,

510
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: he has always been a high volume turnover producer and

511
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: or or giveaway giver what however you want to tag it.

512
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: He gives the ball away. And so until he's able

513
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: to take care of the ball and eliminate some of

514
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: the miscus and turnovers, they're always going to struggle with

515
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: him into him. Yeah, it's so it's an interesting way

516
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 1: to live, that's for sure. All right. Uh let's move

517
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: on now to the next one. We got the Dallas Cowboys,

518
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: and if the if the game of the year was

519
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: Mangland Pittsburgh, this was the oddest game of the year

520
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: the way this Cowboys Raiders game came down in the

521
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and uh, man, how about this, let's let's

522
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: this this geill listen here to the end of this one.

523
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: Appoints the shack and he's gonna try to run it

524
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: in a ball. Yeah that he lose the ball? Does

525
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: it go out of the engine? Does he lose the ball?

526
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: The Cowboys are signaling for a touchback. This could be

527
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: a touchback to runner fumbled forward through the end zone

528
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: and out of the end zone on the field bat wow.

529
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I've heard a lot of people rail

530
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: on this rule. They hate it. You know, you you

531
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: you're getting penalized for effort trying to get the ball

532
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 1: the end zone. To me, Bucky, this is this isn't

533
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: some mystery. I mean, everybody knows this rule. You have

534
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: to be smarter than that at the quarterback position. You

535
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: can't take that risk and lunch for the pylon in

536
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 1: that scenario. If you can't get there, fumble the ball

537
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,760
Speaker 1: there and they're in position at least kicked the field

538
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: goal here, you're gonna have a couple of pops at

539
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: the end zone instead. That's the way it ends. And

540
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,120
Speaker 1: that wasn't even the most bizarre play of the game. No,

541
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: I mean, just have you seen a card. I've never

542
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: seen a card. I've never seen a card used to

543
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: determine a first down or not. It's kind of ridiculous

544
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: at this time, at this stage, ugly we resorted to cards.

545
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 1: This should be better ways. Reminds me of one of

546
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: our my old football coaches used to pull out like

547
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: sticks and break them in half and do kind of

548
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 1: the same thing. Like just crazy stuff like that, just

549
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: like I don't know, there's wacky. I wouldn't expect to

550
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: see it on the NFL level, just weirdness. We still

551
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: understand why we just don't have lasers, right, I mean

552
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 1: can't we just the football's right? Yeah, so why don't

553
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: you just use those and lasers? I don't know. Yeah.

554
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: One of the A T and guys, I know we

555
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: shall not speak about that podcast, but they're bringing it

556
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: up before while this was going on, I was getting

557
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: prepped for the for the podcast, and they were like,

558
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: why why are we why are we having dudes holding

559
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,919
Speaker 1: chains out there? In its seen? You have chips in

560
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,640
Speaker 1: the balls? I don't I don't know. I don't know.

561
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: One of the worlds. It was very very bizarre game.

562
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, we talked about the Cowboys just trying to

563
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 1: survive without Zekelti. We've ended up going three and three

564
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: in those six games. Buck Uh. They are very much alive,

565
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: and we've talked about them and the Packers being dangerous

566
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: teams if they were to get in the postseason, because

567
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 1: you get Rodgers back, because you get Elliott back, Well,

568
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: the Packers could not deliver with Aaron Rodgers coming back.

569
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: We'll see next week against the Seahawks what the Cowboys

570
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: can do. And then it sets up to be pretty interesting.

571
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: If you look at the schedule. Last game in the year,

572
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 1: they're at Philadelphia. If Philadelphia, I think if Philadelphia wins

573
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: next week or the Vikings lose either one, then Philly

574
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: would clinch home field advantage throughout, so they would be

575
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: resting there against the Cowboys in the last game of

576
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: the year. But for some reason, the Philly loses next

577
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: week and then the Cowboys win, that the Philly has

578
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: to play, and then that can determine whether or not

579
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,719
Speaker 1: the Cowboys get in or not. So the Cowboys, hey,

580
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: they did what they had to do. It was a

581
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: bizarre game. Uh overcame some turnover from Dak Prescott, but

582
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:36,479
Speaker 1: they got it done. And now you get Zeke Elliott back,

583
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: who by the way, did you see the pick. He's

584
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: in good shape like he was in good shape, look

585
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: a lot different in the way that he departed. So

586
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 1: if you get Zeke Elliott who's back and in shape

587
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,320
Speaker 1: and being able to command double teams and dominate on

588
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: the ground, I think this offense will see a noticeable

589
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: increase in Hawks are done. I think you're gonna see

590
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: another going on the road to play Zeke. They just

591
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,880
Speaker 1: gave up a bunch of yards to Girly. Yeah yeah,

592
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: I don't know what you get from the Seahawks, although

593
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: they need to get healthy and they just too beat

594
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: up right now. Alright, but bring us home, Bring us

595
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: home before Silly starts crying about his Sea chickens losing again.

596
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: The Ravens blue color approach keeps delivering dubs. Sean Kaiser

597
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 1: stands in the end zone in the shotguns thanks the snap,

598
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: looks to his right, pump watch hip. The behind bathers

599
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: loosen in the end zone. It's recovered. It's gonna be

600
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: either in safety or touchdown. Touchdown Ravens and the defense

601
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: takes care of its brandy and Williams comes up with

602
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown. All right. I like what the Baltimore Ravens

603
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: are doing. They're a little more old school in their tradition,

604
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: but they're playing really good on defense, attacking, creating turnovers,

605
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: getting sacks, um knocking big bodies around, and they're playing

606
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: efficiently on offense. And it's not always sexy. It's not

607
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: always flash, but Joe Flacco just can continues to put

608
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: in his ordinary day's work. I'm looking here, twenty six yards,

609
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: he has a touchdown. Took here the ball. I got

610
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: the ball out to the playmakers. They moved the ball

611
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: down the field. Special teams always delivers when I look

612
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: for teams that could be dark horse contenders or sleepers

613
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: to come out of the coffin Baltimore Ravensts. Blue collar work, ethic, toughness, physicality,

614
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: they deserve to be in that conversation. Well, they're gonna

615
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: end up. They're gonna win their last two game. They're

616
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 1: gonna end up winning six of their last seven games,

617
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: and I think they're going to get into the postseason.

618
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: When you look at it, I mean, it hasn't necessarily

619
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 1: been a murderers role. Look at their wins here. After

620
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: losing to the Titans, they beat the Packers twenty three

621
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: to nothing, which is I believe with Brett Huntley. Uh.

622
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: Come back, they beat the Texans without Shaun Watson. Uh.

623
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 1: Then they beat the Lions. That was a good win

624
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:53,080
Speaker 1: for them, lose a heartbreaker to the Steelers, bounce back

625
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: against the terrible Browns team they get a terrible Colts

626
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 1: team next, and they get a Bengals team that packed

627
00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: it in to finish it off. So they're gonna They're

628
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 1: gonna win their last two games and I believe they

629
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: are going to get in. Are they capable of doing

630
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: any damage once they get there? I think it all

631
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: depends on matchups because obviously I don't know who you

632
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,520
Speaker 1: who scares you. None of they're running backs, the wide receivers,

633
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: they don't have anybody that's really anything more than the

634
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: change over. Yeah, I think to be a short stint.

635
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: I don't think they want to see the Jags after

636
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 1: seeing them earlier this year was that it was that

637
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: in London seven. Yeah, that was a beat down. I

638
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: don't know if they want to go down that road again.

639
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: But again, hey, hats off to the Ravens. They weren't

640
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: a bad spot and they were going to finish up

641
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: strong and I think they are going to sneak into

642
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: the postseason. So I had to get it done against

643
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: the Browns. They got it done in this one. All right, Buck,

644
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: let's get out of here. We've got We've got a
