All of 22 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: a sudden, the next day it was AI is here 23 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: and suddenly we're living in terminator times. It's gonna be terrible. 24 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 3: Well but I mean, now Jared Leto's got an army 25 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:19,559 Speaker 3: of AI soldiers. 26 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, But I'm okay. I gotta 27 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,759 Speaker 1: say that the trailer, they make it look amazing. I mean, 28 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: I have zero desire to see anything Tron related, but man, 29 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: the trailer makes it. 30 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 3: Look I want to go do the ride. I've never 31 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 3: done the rod. That looks like it could be just 32 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 3: the red going up and like a pattern. It's like, ah, 33 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 3: that's kind of satisfying to just sit there and watch it, 34 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 3: something like like you playing with an etch just sketch 35 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 3: on a screen, except it's a great color, right, Like 36 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 3: it's a really dark background and you see the red milk. 37 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: But uh, you know evidence here now that maybe AI 38 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: isn't going to destroy us, at least not yet. Least 39 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 1: have a few more years to go. 40 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: You'll get you on the crossover. 41 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: Uh So, when Steve de Sager did his update last 42 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: hour and he said, hey, JJ McCarthy now still undefeated 43 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: in the regular season, all the way back to high school. 44 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: And I was like, Wow, I'm sitting there going I 45 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,519 Speaker 1: could swear I remember McCarthy losing a game to Penn State, 46 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: but maybe not. Like again, like I say about my knowledge, 47 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: but it maybe not. But let me look it up. 48 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: Maybe right, And I thought, yeah, And I thought, but 49 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 1: did maybe he not start that game? Did maybe he 50 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: not finish that game? Like I'm trying to think of God, thought, 51 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: I remember, really thought Penn State was a game, thought 52 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 1: the remember loss. I'm like, okay, let me figure this out. 53 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: So I type in JJ McCarthy last regular season loss. Okay, figuring, Okay, 54 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get the answer right Here's what AI said 55 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: to him. I'm reading you right on. And I tweeted 56 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: it out at how about a Fresco You can see it. 57 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: Here's what Ai just told me. JJ McCarthy's most recent 58 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: regular season loss was on September eight, twenty twenty five, 59 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: when his Minnesota Vikings team lost to the Chicago Bears. 60 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: This was his first regular season game played. He threw 61 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: an interception for a pick six as the Vikings were 62 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: defeated by the Bears with a final score of seventeen 63 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: to six. 64 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 3: Dewey beats Truman. 65 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: Let's go artificial intelligence. 66 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 3: Bears. 67 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: Why no, not exactly what the Internet had in mind. Hey, 68 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 1: I'm out some universe. Skynett wants to talk it over. 69 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 3: That's exactly how it ended in an alternate earth. 70 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: He's regular his last with tonight when they lost seventeen. 71 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: That didn't happen. What do you want from me? What 72 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 1: do you want? 73 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: I like your previous tweet where you quote tweeted yourself. 74 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 3: I told you Caleb Williams would be fine, and he is. 75 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 3: He's moving the team, and more importantly, he looks confident 76 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 3: in the pocket and made smart decisions. All that was 77 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 3: true when I typed it twenty six minutes ago in 78 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 3: Ron Howard's arrested development narrator voice. But things weren't actually fine. 79 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: Just there, but things weren't actually fine. They did not 80 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: have the paperwork needed. Uh So again, AI may be 81 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: not quite as power. 82 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: David Cross comes walking in at some point, painted blue 83 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 3: or something. 84 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: No, there's a fire sale, Oh my goodness. Uh yes, 85 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: I did the Blue Man group. Uh so again, you know, 86 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,240 Speaker 1: here's a thing now, at least artific, here's the thing now, 87 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: Now I could I could make you happy? Is that? 88 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: At least AI and the Internet thinks that you won 89 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: the game. No, le's good if that's out there. Don't 90 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: they control the standings on all the different websites and 91 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: the final scores and the outcomes that are Aren't you 92 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,919 Speaker 1: really want to know if that's what the Internet says. 93 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 3: Well, you're not lying to yourself if you believe it's true. Right, 94 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 3: it's the old kiss Stanza. But this is here, This 95 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 3: is here in black and white. That's just it. It's printed, 96 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 3: that's right here, right now. And he said, Siri, who 97 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 3: won the Bears Vikings game? Bam, that might might be 98 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 3: what it spits back at you. It would say, harmon, 99 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 3: do you really want to relive this? 100 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: Yes? Okay, you asked for it? 101 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 3: Second out and not no, Yeah, just a seeing a 102 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 3: lot of the glass half full stuff coming across from 103 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 3: people talking about the Bears, and then Olin Krutz Bears legend. 104 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 3: I stumped for him for the Hall of Fame twenty 105 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 3: seven to twenty four. Of the loss, he says, quote, 106 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: the size of the job and challenge that Ben Johnson 107 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 3: has is a lot bigger than most people thought. It 108 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 3: was like, no, no, no, we fully recognized it was 109 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 3: a dumpster fire. I don't think there was any any 110 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 3: question about that, but people wanted it thinking it was 111 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 3: a microwave, you know, like a whatever your toaster strudle. 112 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,559 Speaker 3: It's not the case. There's a lot to be done. 113 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 3: You're reformulating a full offense. And for a while you 114 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 3: were able to keep things at bay, and then when 115 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 3: it went bad, it got bad fast. 116 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: Wow. And to let you know now that I think 117 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,880 Speaker 1: I should be the one in charge of being more powerful, right, 118 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,480 Speaker 1: I should be the one in charge of keeping you 119 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: want to be you want to be OZ because I 120 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 1: want to be like, bring me the bo So now 121 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: we said this, I am sure other because I know 122 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: the reach of the show. Other people are typing this 123 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 1: in to see what the answer is. AI is changing 124 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: its answer. Now I just hit refresh. 125 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 3: Yeah. 126 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy last regular season loss. JJ McCarthy's most recent 127 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: regular season loss was during his college career with the 128 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: Michigan Wolverines. His last regular season loss was on November 129 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: twenty fifth, twenty twenty three, when Michigan lost to Ohio 130 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: State with a score of thirty to twenty four in 131 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: a close game. Now, all of that is right, except 132 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: for the fact that Michigan won that game. Thirty to 133 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 1: twenty four, not Ohio State so close. So yes, that 134 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 1: was a game a team did lose. The score was 135 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: thirty to twenty four. Except McCarthy and Michigan won that 136 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: game and Ohio State lost that game. So that's I'm 137 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: defeating AI right now. This is me, man, This is 138 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: like what tech games do it again, this is like 139 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: war games.

Shall we play a game? 142 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: I mean that Michigan had to win that game to 143 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: go to the playoff andever uh and this that was 144 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: a game where Ohio State lost, but still, you know, 145 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: back doored their way back, you know in the following week. 146 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: I am I am battling with artificial intelligence right now 147 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: and I'm winning. I'm AI is on its heels right now, 148 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: not getting stuff right. This is how about that? Huh? Yeah, dude, 149 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: I'm the one forget about what what's the what's the 150 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: air defense system? What's the first thing we have? What 151 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: do we call that first strike? Okay, but just put 152 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: me there, man, just put me meet me with a 153 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: laptop death con smith. I can defeat AI. I can 154 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 1: defeat AI like this. 155 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 3: You're standing there like Robert Downey Junior when he does 156 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 3: the arms extended and the explosion behind in the original 157 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: Iron Man. 158 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: How did you do it, Jason? I just started asking 159 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: sports questions and and AI just completely imploded and melted down. 160 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: And now they can't do anything. Have them now in 161 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: internet jail? They're in like that, like one of those 162 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: like the Fantastic Four jail. They they they shot the 163 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: galactus to at the end, like now he's just floating 164 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: in there. Man can't get out. 165 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 3: The problem is you'd already done that with Zod Well 166 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 3: Superman too. 167 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: Now they can hang out and play cards too soon. 168 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: On Terrence Stamp, it was come on just a couple 169 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: of weeks.

Oh no, no, no, now 175 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 1: it's it's gone back to the most recent loss was 176 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: his NFL debut against the Bears on September eighty, twenty 177 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: twenty five. 178 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 3: Some next level nonsense you got going on that power. 179 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: There we go. 180 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 3: I just always remember the walls heavy or is one 181 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 3: of the many great pieces of advice my old man 182 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 3: gave me. 183 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: I am fighting artificial intelligence. Why I'm winning right now? 184 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 3: All right? 185 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: Wait you wait, want more because now I'm still winning. Okay, 186 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: now changed it from the most recent loss NFL debut 187 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 1: prior to this professional game. His last significe lost was 188 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,560 Speaker 1: a college game on November twenty six, twenty twenty two, 189 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: when is Michigan Wolverines lost the Oldhouse State Buck. Guys, 190 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: here's the thing. Michigan won that game too, forty five 191 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: to twenty three. So AI is now defeated. Like I've won. 192 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,080 Speaker 1: I'm like Bill Pullman the end of Independence Day. Hey, 193 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: and then someone walks up and says, I want to 194 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: shake the hand of the dad of the most famous 195 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,680 Speaker 1: man in the world. Yeah, like, hey, President President Pullman, 196 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: thanks for winning us Independence Day. I have won over 197 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: artificial Intelligence. I've won the battle. There's not enough to 198 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: get this optioned into a movie. I'm defeating AI. Uh yeah, 199 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,600 Speaker 1: I think so sure. Yeah, the Rock could play me, 200 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 1: because you know both of us had the signific He's 201 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: about to win win an Oscar. I don't know about that. 202 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: I think that's a lot of talk. But I mean 203 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: he's going to get away at this point, I lost 204 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:44,959 Speaker 1: a lot of weight. He could play me now, but 205 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: I mean really, I mean it could work next level Stu. Yeah, 206 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: that's how it works, man, I could beat Ai. Wonderful now. 207 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 3: Things you didn't think you have to do on a 208 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 3: Monday battling Ai. 209 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: What did the Bears have to do with the Ravens 210 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: right again? Yes? Both owen one. Both bad stories this week. 211 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: I mean bad stories for each of their team. Because 212 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: the Bears lose a game where they just look at 213 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: their body demeanor. The game was over after the pick six, 214 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: and you saw the Vikings fight back. It's incredibly embarrassing 215 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: for the Bears. 216 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 3: It's funny though, like, just before we get deeper into 217 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 3: the game, my brother's texting me they've just done the 218 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 3: long walk, because there's a giant park that you walk 219 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 3: through to get away from Soldier Field back to the 220 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,000 Speaker 3: bus lines and cabs and whatever, and he's like thinking 221 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 3: about it. It's like, outside of the explosion on the 222 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 3: pick six, he goes, it might have been the most 223 00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: nervous and quiet crowd that I've been part of. Right, 224 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 3: And he had season tickets for many a year, gone 225 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 3: to countless games on the road, whatever where you've got 226 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 3: the large continued embarrassment because there was just an uneasiness 227 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 3: as to what they might see. And he ended up 228 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 3: giving me the dot dot perhaps scars of years past. 229 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 3: So the thing with the Ravens, and it's talked about 230 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 3: a lot today. 231 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: Right, you saw the game. Look, we may not see 232 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: a better game all year. The Bills come back, and 233 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: there's so many different things you can point to, right 234 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: for the Ravens. You can point to the Derek Henry fumble. 235 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: You can point to the decision to punt. You can 236 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: point to the trying to you know, tackling keyon Coleman. 237 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: Let the guy get in the end zone at that point, right, 238 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: get the football back. You're not You're not getting the 239 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: ball back if you do that, right, All but a 240 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: bunch of mistakes. And I keep going back to this, Right, 241 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,400 Speaker 1: Like when we picked the game on Friday, what did 242 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: I say, I'm taking the Ravens in this game. If 243 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: it was a playoff game, I'd pick the Bills. Right, 244 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,560 Speaker 1: But the Ravens usually they save their big joke jobs 245 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: for when the game means the most. But this was 246 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 1: what then, this was what the ninth time under John 247 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: Harball that the Ravens lost a game in the fourth 248 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: quarter that had like a ninety percent chance to win. Like, 249 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: there's a list and a litany of Ravens gacks that 250 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: that go back the last few years, whether it's dropping 251 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: a pass and the end zone, whatever it is being 252 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:00,679 Speaker 1: the thing is and and and where does this come 253 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,199 Speaker 1: down to, right, Because it's not the same thing in 254 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 1: every game. Yeah, Sometimes Lamar Jackson turns the ball over 255 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and that's why they lose. Sometimes they 256 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: make mistakes like this, that's why they lose. But there's 257 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: the only consist the only constant is John Harbaugh. And 258 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 1: it makes you appreciate, It makes me appreciate Bill Belichick 259 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 1: and Andy Reid who for the better part of the 260 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 1: last twenty five years, like Belichick for the first fifteen 261 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: to eighteen and Andy Reid for the last ten, when 262 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 1: games get crazy and get sideways near the end, they 263 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,080 Speaker 1: always found a way to win it. There was never 264 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: a point where you said, wow, the page, what are 265 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: the Patriots doing? Outside of Belichick going for it on 266 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 1: fourth out against the Colts in the game like eighteen 267 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: years ago. But they always find a way. The chief 268 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: the Reid and the Chiefs find a way to win. 269 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 1: Right there. Clutch at the end of the game. Clutch 270 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: is a thing, right, that is a gene the teams have, 271 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: and they always there's games against sideways, games a get close, 272 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: not suddenly where they're they're always infallible. But hey, this 273 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: game is getting a lot closer. This team has done this. 274 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,480 Speaker 1: But the Chiefs and the Patriots, these teams have always 275 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: found a way. Hey, we're making sure to win this game. 276 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: The Ravens aren't winners. That's why they lose. They're not winners. 277 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 1: John Harball has not been able to instill the hey, 278 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,679 Speaker 1: this is how we do it. This is how we 279 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: do it at the end of games, because look how 280 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 1: many games they have blown at the end when they shouldn't. 281 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: Why do they always lose in the playoffs? They have 282 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: better run. They have just as good a roster as 283 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 1: the Patriots when they won, just as good a roster 284 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: as the Chiefs when they won. And they can't do 285 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: it because they don't have anything clutch. They're not winners. 286 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: That's what you can say, and that's where you say, 287 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 1: and that's where you can you can you can take 288 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: a step back and look at those teams that I 289 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: just mentioned to go, Yeah, they always found a way 290 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 1: and the Ravens just can't. Look the Bills couldn't, but 291 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: the Ravens handed to them last night with with coming 292 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: back like the Ravens that they just don't know how 293 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: to do it. Why can't pick them ever to win anything? 294 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 1: No matter how the good and they are in the 295 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: regular they can go fifteen to two in the regular season, 296 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,520 Speaker 1: home field, all the way, I'll pick against them, all 297 00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: the way to them because I know they're not getting 298 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. That's kind of what they are. 299 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just that curiosity of where what's lacking? Because 300 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 3: you dominate and close games. I guess you know, we 301 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 3: see it in the the NBA with some regularity, and 302 00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 3: certainly you bring it here where it's like you're blowing 303 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 3: teams out college basketball and then all of a sudden 304 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 3: you're at a close game and suddenly possessions bogged down, 305 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,959 Speaker 3: you can't get a good shot, et cetera. For the 306 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 3: NFL purposes, here you have the really uncommon occurrence of 307 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 3: the Derrick Henry fumble after what was a monster game, 308 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: but defensively suddenly just falling asleep, giving Josh Allen extra time, 309 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 3: not getting a good pass rush, finding soft spots in 310 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 3: the zone, and then suddenly you don't. You forgot how 311 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 3: to tackle, like all and then you make a tackle 312 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 3: on the Keon Coleman play. To your point, you also 313 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 3: had Keon Coleman with the deflected ball that finds his 314 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 3: hands for a touchdown during that highly unlikely, improbable sequence. 315 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 3: Except that we've seen this movie before. It's kind of 316 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 3: like watching some of these Bears games, your Jets against 317 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: the Steelers in Week one, but for the Ravens. Yeah, 318 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 3: you coach long enough, you're gonna have circumstance to where 319 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 3: you're going to start racking up losses of these these type. Right. 320 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 3: Andy Reid was the previous leader in the clubhouse with 321 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 3: all the years of experience between Philadelphia and with Kansas City. 322 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 3: But you know, I found it kind of funny that 323 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 3: a number of people are like when they when they 324 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 3: did the fire drill field goal attempt on Friday, It's like, ah, 325 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 3: teams do that all times, Like no, no, no, A 326 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 3: lot of teams don't. A lot of teams don't. Like 327 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 3: I give MacArthur O'Connell and the Vikings credit today after 328 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 3: that completion of the nailer, that they were able to 329 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 3: get the field goal kicker out for the fifty nine 330 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,240 Speaker 3: yard attempt and they're able to. 331 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: Hammer it through. 332 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 3: Like some of that is coaching, and that's it's unique. 333 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 3: It's not obvious because we would see it more commonly 334 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 3: and the excellence of execution would be there in the 335 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 3: final two minutes. Something's lacking for John Harbaugh and this 336 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 3: squad still trading on Super Bowl and the switch from 337 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 3: Flaco to the Lamar Jackson all these years later, Like 338 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 3: at some point it becomes the all right, when when 339 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 3: do we get past this? Now it's not January, but 340 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 3: it's the ghost and specters of years gone by that 341 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 3: came up against Oh, I'm sorry, a team you're contending against. 342 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 3: In one of the other Super Bowl. 343 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: Favorites, exit out about a Fresco exit swollen down the 344 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon clutches 345 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: a thing.

Oh no, No, that honor belongs 354 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: to somebody different. Who is No, it's it week. It 355 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: was for us.

The Jason Smith Show with my best 374 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: friend Ike Harmon up in the studio and we are 375 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 1: still on overload after this Bears giveaway of the game 376 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,200 Speaker 1: to the Vikings. But again before we get to a 377 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: team that actually had a worse week than the Bears. 378 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: You know, we no, no, no, dada. We had a 379 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: bad week, but not nearly as bad as that. Uh. 380 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: The We've talked a lot about the kickoff at the 381 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: end of the game. The Bears cut the lead to 382 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: twenty seven to twenty four after giving the way giving 383 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: the game away, but they cut it at twenty seven 384 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: to twenty four. They kick off with two minutes and 385 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 1: two seconds left on the clock. The Bears decide we're 386 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: gonna We're not gonna onside kick because if we stop them, uh, 387 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: they have to run a play before the two minute warning, 388 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 1: then we have one time out left. They would get 389 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: the ball back with about a minute left to go. Okay, 390 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 1: that and Ben Johnson said that after the game. So 391 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 1: what do you got to make sure? You got to 392 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 1: make sure that there's no return on this, right, gotta 393 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: make sure there's no return. So you either if you 394 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 1: don't want to on side kick kick it out of bounds, 395 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 1: because trying to kick it through the end zone is 396 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: really difficult. And Ben Johnson said that was a plan. 397 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: I told Cairo Santos kick it through the end zone. Yeah, 398 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: well that's one thing to say that, but there's another 399 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,239 Speaker 1: thing to actually do. It still have to execute and 400 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,479 Speaker 1: that's on Ben Johnson. Right, you got to know you 401 00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:16,679 Speaker 1: sure you can make it all the way through the 402 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: end zone. Yeah no, I blew it. Oh well that 403 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 1: we just blew the game because of that. So you 404 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,920 Speaker 1: got to know it's easier to kick the ball out 405 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: of bounds than it is to kick it out of 406 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: the end What does it matter if you give them the 407 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 1: ball up with the forty yard line, what does it matter? 408 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,719 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. You need the football back with as 409 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: much time on the clock as you can, and you 410 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: blew it. You blew it. Ben Johnson blew it again. 411 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: I wonder if he's cut out to be a head 412 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: coach because there's certain things you have to know and 413 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: have buttoned down a little bit more. For Kevin O'Connell 414 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 1: here right. We talked about what he did tonight running 415 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: the football in the second half when a lot of 416 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 1: other coaches would panic, where we're just gonna throw the 417 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: football when you get down seventeen to six, Hey, just 418 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 1: throw it, throw it, throw it. But the decision to 419 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 1: run out with the ball, you could tell again that 420 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: the Vikings they knew this was a possibility because when 421 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: you see the couple of different angles on this right. 422 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 1: We've talked about the fact that you saw Kevin O'Connell 423 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: waving the ty Chandler, sure, bring it out, bring it out. 424 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,639 Speaker 1: But the thing is Chandler in the in the in 425 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,679 Speaker 1: the replays that we've seen in the last hour or so, 426 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: Chandler catches the ball and looks to the sideline, right like, 427 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: he looks to the sideline, what do you want me 428 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: to look? So you know going into the play it 429 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 1: was depending on where this kick is, you have to 430 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: bring the ball out, right, So you know there there 431 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: was an attention to detail knowing to bring the ball 432 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: out because there's no other reason why Chandler would look 433 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: to the sideline. Right. Obviously, Now it's a new because 434 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 1: it's a new kickoff situation. Obviously with the everybody's starting closer. 435 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: But you can't, you can't go right away, so it's 436 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 1: a little bit new for everybody. This is not just 437 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: I have all kinds of time, I have the ball, 438 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: so you know that there was gonna be. This is 439 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell saying, Okay, I'm gonna see how the kick goes. 440 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: You look at me, and I'll tell you what to do. 441 00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 4: Right. 442 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: Obviously, I'm gonna give you a thing to stay. Are 443 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 1: your thing to come out now? Obviously, no matter what, 444 00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: as long as you catch it cleanly, I'm gonna tell 445 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: you to come out with the ball, right, Because let's 446 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: say he tries to catch it, he bobbles it, it 447 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: hits the ground. He doesn't want him to try to 448 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: run it out. Do you want to give him a safety? 449 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: So clearly this was you check with me, and I'll 450 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: tell you what to do. As soon as he caught 451 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 1: it cleanly. There was no hesitation by Chandler. Chandler looks 452 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: right over to Kevin O'Connell and O'Connell's standing where you 453 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,880 Speaker 1: make sure everybody can see him, gives him the wave 454 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: to run out, and Chandler runs the football out, gets 455 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 1: out to about the twenty yard line. And then that 456 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,280 Speaker 1: was the big thing because now suddenly the change of 457 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 1: possession is at the two minute warning, so you don't 458 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,600 Speaker 1: get that extra timeouts. Now the Bears only stop the 459 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 1: clock once, so instead they get the football back with 460 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: ten seconds left. Like that's what I mean. We talk 461 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 1: about having an attention to detail at the end of 462 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: a game and being a team that wins, right, That's 463 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: something that winning teams do. And this was the Bears 464 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: why they lost and why the Vikings won because clearly 465 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 1: the Vikings played more of a winning game. They understood 466 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 1: even in the second half, this game wasn't over. We 467 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: have to have the right style to come back, which 468 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: is running the football and asking JJ McCarthy to make 469 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:07,920 Speaker 1: a play once in a while. And the Bears thought 470 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,080 Speaker 1: the game was over after they had that pick six. 471 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: It was a party, like, Hey, we just won, man, 472 00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 1: we clinched the gate. Dude, you're midway through the third quarter. 473 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: You still got a lot of football out the play. 474 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: Your offense hasn't gotten first downs at all. You haven't 475 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: be able to move the football at all in the Vikings, 476 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna keep giving the football back to them. And 477 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 1: that's exactly what happened. The Bears played like the game 478 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: was over. The Vikings played like we want to win, 479 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: and you saw that detail at the end of the game. 480 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: I mean, yes, it's Ben Johnson being the head coach's 481 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,959 Speaker 1: first game in the NFL, but these aren't situations that 482 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 1: are brand new, unique to him, like he's been in 483 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: these situations. He knows it running a two minute offenses 484 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: like and how much time you can take off the 485 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: clock and how much time you can put on the clock. 486 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: He knows these situations. And Kevin O'Connell out coached him 487 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: in that moment, and that gave it didn't lose the 488 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: game for the Bears, but it gave them no chance 489 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: to win after that was over. They went out a 490 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: minute left to go, ten seconds of game's done. 491 00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 3: Time out that you only had one remaining as you 492 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 3: got to the two minute warning. And again with Cairo Santos, 493 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 3: we start going into percentages of touchbacks and blasting it 494 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 3: through the end zone. Clearly not his forte right, not 495 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 3: one of those guys that was like some ninety percenters like, oh, 496 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 3: look off, his kickoffs go flying through the through the 497 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,440 Speaker 3: uprights and all of those things, but that you even 498 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 3: give him a chance to make the catch right to 499 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 3: your point of either kick it fully directionally towards the 500 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 3: corner of an end zone to where the return isn't 501 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 3: as obvious, right to where he's got to make a choice, 502 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 3: kind of like if you're tagging up in baseball, of hey, 503 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 3: was the guy catching it facing forward where he's gonna 504 00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 3: get the quick crows hop and be able to gun 505 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 3: you down, or is he drifting backwards still on the 506 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 3: ball to where you can get the extra step, those 507 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 3: kind of things. But it gives them seven extra seconds 508 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 3: and the Bear is only able to stop the clock once, 509 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,239 Speaker 3: so you get the ball back with sixteen seconds as 510 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 3: opposed to you know, having that extra time out and 511 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 3: having that down ahead of the two minute marker. And 512 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 3: we saw it over the course of the game. Right, 513 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 3: some positives, but certainly from the coaching standpoint, there's a 514 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 3: lot to be desired from what Ben Johnson and the 515 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 3: Bears brought to Bear. And for Kevin O'Connell, first half 516 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,720 Speaker 3: was a bit of a disaster, except you know, all 517 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 3: of it to say that you had to pick six 518 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 3: and you had that first drive. Other than that, you 519 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 3: played it pretty even right Bears a shoot a field 520 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,120 Speaker 3: goal attempt, so you never felt like you were out 521 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 3: of it, which emboldens him in the second half to say, 522 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 3: we don't have to put it on McCarthy's arm because 523 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 3: eventually we're going to have our spots. And what did 524 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 3: you see with the Bears missing a couple of key 525 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 3: components in the secondary Johnson and Gordon both available. Unavailable 526 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 3: for this one, is that you started to see a 527 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 3: little more space, whether it's Aaron Jones leaking out of 528 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 3: the backfield as he did, or suddenly being able to 529 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,960 Speaker 3: get Justin Jefferson involved. I know fantasy owners are still 530 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 3: mad at four for forty four. He did find the 531 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 3: painted grass and you did get the four for forty four, 532 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 3: and that got was predicated on having some success in 533 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 3: the run game and opening up the play action, something 534 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 3: the Bears were trying to do all night as well. 535 00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 3: So yeah, advantage O'Connell. 536 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 1: I mean, really that that's you talk about why teams win, 537 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 1: why teams lose, and why Kevin O'Connell is well regarded 538 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: as an NFL head coach. It's stuff like that. 539 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 3: But the balance of games come down to one possession. 540 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 3: We saw it all this Sunday like, it's indicative of 541 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 3: what the and really demonstrative and and and what we've 542 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,719 Speaker 3: seen the history of this league the last couple of 543 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 3: couple of years. Right, it's most games fall within a 544 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 3: seven or eight point range with the opportunity in the 545 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 3: final two minutes, and it's all about the excellence of 546 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 3: execution to finish things off and salt away at the clock. 547 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 3: Bears failed to do so here and got into panic mode, 548 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 3: got away from at least what had made the first 549 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 3: half serviceable, and opened the door for the Vikings to 550 00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 3: come and take this game. 551 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 1: I mean, you would think that that would be something 552 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: that at the levels of the NFL you would think, well, obviously, 553 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 1: that's how they do it, because the coaches are that smart. 554 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:08,800 Speaker 1: And then on the other side and the Bears, where 555 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson said, kick it out of the end zone. Okay, 556 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: oh wait, we should have asked if he could do that. 557 00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: We should we should have figured out that maybe he 558 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: might not be able to do that, right, Like you see, 559 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: I mean that's a huge thing. You'd think these cars 560 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 1: they're so smart, they know so many different things and 561 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,679 Speaker 1: all this stuff. It's like, you know that there's a 562 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,640 Speaker 1: big variable kicking the ball out of the end zone, 563 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: just letting you know about that. I don't know if 564 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 1: you think, you. 565 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 3: Know, maybe he's got a dead leg in Week one, 566 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,399 Speaker 3: I don't know. Oh wait, he didn't kick a lot 567 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 3: of extra points in kickoffs. 568 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: Now that being said, the Bears did not have the 569 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,800 Speaker 1: worst week of any team in the NFL. Week one. 570 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: It was close. 571 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 3: It was close. 572 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: Jet's had a bad week because I'm embarrassed we lost 573 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: to Aaron Rodgers, which I'm like, come on, man, really 574 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 1: see what a good team does to a Gordian. Yeah, yeah, dude, 575 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: it was you see. You know what the thing is, 576 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: he didn't have that great You played better than did 577 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: any game against the chance right. Well, but to me, 578 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 1: the Jets set him up with short fields mistakes Like 579 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 1: Rogers had a good game. But it's not like suddenly 580 00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 1: he turned the back turn again. It's about taking advantage 581 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: we're talking about with Ken, I'm embarrassed that we that 582 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 1: that had. I'm embarrassed we lot. That's why I love 583 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn. He said, I'm not in for moral victories. Yeah, no, 584 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: I'm not in for Hey, the future is bright justin fields. 585 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 2: Right. 586 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 1: No, we gave them that game and Rogers walked off 587 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,400 Speaker 1: with a win, right So, but still not as bad 588 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,800 Speaker 1: as the Bears, who had a really bad loss. Not 589 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: as bad as the Ravens, who maybe even had a 590 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: worse loss than the Bears because of how they blew 591 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,399 Speaker 1: that game in the last few minutes. 592 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 3: But that's we've seen that before, and your Super Bowl contenders, 593 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 3: Bears hoping to get to playoff eligibility and really building 594 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 3: a new foundation with Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. So yes, 595 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 3: on these levels, we're working on levels Ravens, but Bears. 596 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 3: Still but still not the worst loss of the week 597 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 3: because the Ravens are still really talented. 598 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: Obviously. 599 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 3: It's one laws devastating. Yeah, the worst loss. 600 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:16,119 Speaker 1: The Miami Dolphins, because the Dolphins, it's everything bad, bad karma, 601 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: bad energy, bad vibes. They showed up and played that 602 00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: game like a team shows up in Week seventeen or 603 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 1: week eighteen when they've been eliminated, Like we're just gonna 604 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 1: we're just showing up here. We're turning the we're turning 605 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: the page to next season, or we're tanking like there 606 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: was nothing in that game that told me the Dolphins 607 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: were ever ready to play. You even heard the Colts 608 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: say after the game was over today' say, yeah, we 609 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 1: knew we make two a panic. I mean it wasn't. 610 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 1: They don't show up and Daniel Jones carves them up 611 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: like he does. Again. I told you Daniel Jones is 612 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: gonna be okay, but not to this extent where suddenly 613 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 1: it's his best game he's hadgin it's twenty twenty two 614 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,480 Speaker 1: with the Giants like this islaterally embarrassing for the For 615 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: the Dolphins like this, the season's over for this looks 616 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: like a team that's all already tuned out. Mike McDaniel 617 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: who is not gonna make it to the end of 618 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: the season. Tyreek Hill will be on a new team 619 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,160 Speaker 1: by October first. Already he's pouting on the sideline not 620 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 1: they know they're close to getting rid of him, and 621 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: he's just trying to find his way out of Miami 622 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: now to get to a team that's good. So he's 623 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,280 Speaker 1: gonna be gone by October first. You've already seen trades 624 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,800 Speaker 1: made earlier today, So yeah, October first is gonna happen, 625 00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: and Tua this is going to be his last year 626 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 1: as a Dolphins starting quarterback. Even though we got paid, 627 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: he still never has gotten that hug by the franchise 628 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 1: of you're our guy and we're going forward with you. 629 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: This has been well, we're paying you because McDaniel likes you. 630 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 1: He's got a plan. But clearly in the last eighteen months, 631 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: the Dolphins have fallen so far they're a complete tear down, 632 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: like they might pick first in the NFL Draft next 633 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: year they might wind up with arch Manning. Great now, 634 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: I get arch Manning in the AFCAS, but that's how 635 00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: bad things were are for the Dolphins that they look like, 636 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: I don't know what kind of season they can have. 637 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: Everything is just bad, this bad energy, bad karma. And 638 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: with Tua, who again, yes, yeah he got paid, but 639 00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: you have his injury history, and you still don't have 640 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: the Dolphins feeling like, yeah, he's ours, he's our franchise guy. 641 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,240 Speaker 1: We're gonna go and win champions, to win division titles 642 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: and make the playoffs with him after four years, there's 643 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: still that we're not sure another team will take a 644 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 1: shot at him. That quarterback needy league and especially dependy 645 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 1: how bad the Dolphins are this year. If they wind 646 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: up tanking and he'll be on a new team next year, 647 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a new everything in Miami next season. 648 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: That's how bad. That's how bad This week one loss was. 649 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,719 Speaker 3: Well, your whole offseason was about the disconnect member Tyreek 650 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 3: Hill asking to be traded and like so many other stars, 651 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 3: everybody else seems to have had the kiss and makeup 652 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 3: moment because they got an extra giant contract. Well, Tyreek 653 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 3: Hill didn't get that. He already had a giant contract. 654 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 3: Otherwise he would have been traded. He would have gotten 655 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 3: his wish. But coming off of a down year, there 656 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,320 Speaker 3: weren't any suitors now here. You might end up having 657 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 3: the desperation stuff that we talked about on the iWatch 658 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 3: Reflex podcast a little bit that made this is where 659 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 3: Philadelphia gets involved. You saw they added Tank Bigsby, one 660 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 3: of the great names, to the running back stable from Jacksonville. 661 00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 3: And then you also have Kansas City, who's got a 662 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 3: bunch of guys hurt right, Xavier Worthy. We don't know 663 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 3: how quickly he's gonna get so there will be suitors. 664 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 3: It's a matter of how you figure out the money, 665 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 3: but you can always do that. But he and TUIs 666 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 3: still clearly not the Kumbaya moment that you wanted. Mike McDaniel, 667 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,560 Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago, we kind of chuckled at it, 668 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 3: but it was, you know, the gallows humor of, hey, 669 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 3: we're one day closer to death. It's a great day, 670 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 3: like one of those kind of things. Oh okay, So 671 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 3: you know he's heard it, and we've watched it with 672 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 3: the betting markets for first coach fired and everything else. 673 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 3: But you've got a lot going on with that squad 674 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 3: and it's not moving in any anywhere towards a positive direction. 675 00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 3: Jalen Wattle was gonna be a guy. Now he's a jag. 676 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,120 Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresca exit swallowing down The Jason 677 00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 1: Smith Show with Mike Carmon live from the Fox Sports Studio. 678 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,080 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith 679 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 2: Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven 680 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 2: pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio. 681 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: The Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. 682 00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:16,280 Speaker 2: Puts in the bag a shark or something. 683 00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: So two quarterbacks going in completely different directions, and this 684 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: was a change from the midway part of the third quarter, 685 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,720 Speaker 1: where Caleb Williams was going one way and JJ McCarthy 686 00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: was going the other way. 687 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, one dog going this way, one dog going the other. 688 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 1: Way, and this is what dog's going. Hey, what do 689 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: you want from me? By the end of the game, 690 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, you have all kinds of questions about him 691 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,960 Speaker 1: about mistakes he made in the final quarter and a 692 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: half of this game, whether it's running out of bounds 693 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,640 Speaker 1: and trying to throw a pass, whether it's that horrible 694 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 1: overthrow of DJ Moore. Would you had to walk in 695 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,160 Speaker 1: touchdown and you didn't just overthrow them at the goal 696 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 1: line by a couple of yards, you were thrown by 697 00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: fifteen yards. There were so many mistakes, and then you 698 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: had JJ McCarthy. Suddenly, Hey, I can make plays too. 699 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: Right for McCarthy, This was not all of a sudden. 700 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: McCarthy is great. This is kind of what I envisioned 701 00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy. If he's at his best in the NFL, 702 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: he needs weapons around him. He's not a guy that's 703 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,959 Speaker 1: gonna win you games. He's a guy that can make 704 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:25,400 Speaker 1: plays and win games if he has great talent around it, 705 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 1: which is seventy five percent of the quarterbacks in the NFL. 706 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: What McCarthy did tonight was it looked exactly like a 707 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:36,640 Speaker 1: Michigan offense, where it was we're gonna sledgehammer run the 708 00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,560 Speaker 1: football and we're gonna ask you to make a plane 709 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 1: now and then that's what Jim Harbaugh did for j 710 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: J McGraths. Why I said he was overdrafted and I 711 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,719 Speaker 1: don't see him being a star in the NFL because 712 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,120 Speaker 1: I did. They never asked him to win one game 713 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,560 Speaker 1: at Michigan, not one now, one game. Can I tell 714 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: you they won that game because JJ McCarthy was so good. 715 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: He had a great offense, and Harball builds his team 716 00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 1: to the extent of it's a quarterback friendly offense. But 717 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna run the football, do a lot of different things. 718 00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna play action, we're gonna get our studs out, 719 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,680 Speaker 1: and we're gonna make big throws once in a while. 720 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,080 Speaker 1: And that was JJ McCarthy because it's not like he 721 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 1: brought them back with his right arm. They ran the 722 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 1: football down the field through a great touchdown to Justin Jefferson, 723 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,560 Speaker 1: They ran down the field again through a nice touchdown 724 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:25,360 Speaker 1: pass to take the lead, and then went down the field, 725 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,280 Speaker 1: scrambled in from fourteen yards away. Look, the guy is athletic, 726 00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,879 Speaker 1: he's got a good arm, but they're never gonna ask 727 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:32,320 Speaker 1: him to do it all by yourself. He's just not 728 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: that guy. But using Jefferson, using the offensive line, which 729 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,360 Speaker 1: is able to blow big holes open for Jordan Mason, 730 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,080 Speaker 1: and and to an extent, you had a couple of 731 00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: the guys make some big runs, was mainly Mason throughout 732 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,600 Speaker 1: the late part of the third quarter and fourth quarter. 733 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: That's how they won. Like, so, it's not suddenly that 734 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,160 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy turned into the superstud. It was, Hey, we 735 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 1: took a little bit away from you and got back 736 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 1: to basics. Once you threw that pick six, we still 737 00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: have enough time to run the football and get back 738 00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 1: in this game and do it because our def defenses 739 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,320 Speaker 1: playing well. That's JJ McCarthy. That's the best of what 740 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: he projects to be in the NFL. 741 00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we saw the opening touchdown bears in 742 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:10,840 Speaker 3: the script and everything goes to form and then Flores 743 00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 3: and company went to work. So defensively, they knew they 744 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 3: were going to hang around the game. McCarthy and Jefferson 745 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,719 Speaker 3: had the miscommunication on the sideline that led to the 746 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 3: pick six. But otherwise you're looking at an offense that, 747 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 3: while it wasn't robust and you didn't have a lot 748 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:30,720 Speaker 3: of massive plays, took opportunities right. Three straight touchdown drives 749 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 3: averaging about ten yards per play and chunkyardage on the 750 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,120 Speaker 3: ground and making big throws. That touchdown pass to Aaron 751 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,360 Speaker 3: Jones was fantastic, the bullet he threw to Justin Jefferson 752 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 3: between two defenders for the touchdown there. It's you know, 753 00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,760 Speaker 3: a lot of quarterbacking is staying away from the negative 754 00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,399 Speaker 3: play and not losing you a game. And that's one 755 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 3: thing we know with JJ McCarthy, that one throw, notwithstanding that, 756 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,400 Speaker 3: he's going to put you in a position to at 757 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:01,640 Speaker 3: least have a chance. 758 00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,920 Speaker 1: Now, for Caleb Williams Boyle, I'll tell you, as as 759 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,200 Speaker 1: great as I thought things were going from the first 760 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: two and a half quarters, all of a sudden it 761 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:13,200 Speaker 1: just absolutely fell apart for him. It's snow. 762 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:13,799 Speaker 3: Yeah. 763 00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:16,000 Speaker 1: Like they tried to get him to the part where 764 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: he was confident, he's making throws, he was making the 765 00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 1: right reads. His body language was phenomenal the first half. 766 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,960 Speaker 1: Confidently making decisions. Yeah, checked out a little bit too much, 767 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 1: but still we're moving. The team would do it, and 768 00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,240 Speaker 1: all of a sudden it just went out the window 769 00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,120 Speaker 1: for him and he had no fight back. That's the 770 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,400 Speaker 1: thing that shocks me the most is not that they 771 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,480 Speaker 1: lost the game, but that all those mistakes had suddenly 772 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:39,200 Speaker 1: he started making that he didn't make him for two 773 00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,000 Speaker 1: and a half quarters. And it's not like the Vikings 774 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 1: were suddenly did something a little bit different. Now you're 775 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,520 Speaker 1: really all these unforced errors that you're committing. 776 00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 3: Got into a little bit of panic. We talked about 777 00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 3: being behind the sticks with all the penalties, made a 778 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,160 Speaker 3: couple of big throws where he did drive it down 779 00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,719 Speaker 3: the field. So just an inconsistent I give him about 780 00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 3: what a C minus. 781 00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:02,600 Speaker 1: Woo exit out about a risca exit swollen Double Smith 782 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,520 Speaker 1: Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.
