1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,200
Speaker 1: Your tunes about drive on your home of the Black

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: and Goal Steelers Nation Radio. Welcome back. I'm dale a

3
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: power ranking really be the last day this matters, I

4
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: guess because next week we'll be talking draft order, draft order.

5
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: We can we can power rank playoff teams. We can

6
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: do stuff like that, all kinds of stuff to be creative. Yeah,

7
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: but we're trying to be creative anyways. Yeah. Uh. These

8
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,279
Speaker 1: are Dan Hansis's power rankings off of NFL dot Com,

9
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: as they have been all year. The Jacksonville Jaguars, who

10
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: the Steelers need to win on Sunday, betting on thirty

11
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: two to pull one, two and fourteen. They're terrible. I mean,

12
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: Lawrence is getting no better, know how a touchdown it

13
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: was his first touchdown passing a four passes. Unbelievable, Evan.

14
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: The Patriots beat the snot out of him from the

15
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: very start. Whatever they wanted, whatever they wanted to you know,

16
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: that's what the Patriots do. Really bad teams, and that's

17
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: what they did. Yeah. Uh at thirty one. Speaking of

18
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: bad football teams, the four and twelve New York Sometimes

19
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: Football Giants. I'm glad he recognizes their thirty one because

20
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: just because they've won four games and they're horrendous. Right now,

21
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: did you see the play Joe Judge just was a

22
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: special teams coach, right, special teams for Abum. They decided

23
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: not to field a kickoff. Three guys actually decided not

24
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: to field a kickoff that was in the field of play, Yeah,

25
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: thinking it was going to bounce into the end zone.

26
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: Just all looked at it, yeah, and then realized it

27
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: was a live ball. Somebody one of the guys jumped

28
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: on it, got tackled it like the two and a

29
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: couple of plays later they gave up a safety. Yeah.

30
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: But Judge just telling everybody I get guy is coming

31
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: in my office every day that they want to be

32
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: here and they want to sign extensions. And this is

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: a you know, the perfect don't don't can't get a

34
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,519
Speaker 1: job anywhere else but there. And coach. Also, they're gonna

35
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: bring back Judge and Jones and run this thing back

36
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: and just keep making the same mistakes. And these two

37
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: teams are far and away the least winning is franchises

38
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 1: in the last five years. This isn't a flukey thing.

39
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: This is a cultural issue which happens when you blow

40
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: it up. That's what I was gonna say. I mean,

41
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: the Giants were very proud, family owned organization with rings

42
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: and parcels and Lawrence Taylor. Not quite the Steeler's history,

43
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: but pretty darn good. And it can go like this

44
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: when you take the you know, the road less traveled

45
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: or the easy path, there's no doubt. Yeah. So these

46
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: two teams. Oh, by the way, the Giants had negative

47
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: passing yard neat at thirty. The Carolina Panthers, I wouldn't

48
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: have thought of it. They were they were like five

49
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 1: and four at one point, have been dreadful, dreadful. Yeah,

50
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: that's a good call. Defense was okay, old lines terrible.

51
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: They don't have a quarterback. No, they just do things

52
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: for fun to let's trade for Gilmore, let's cut the

53
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: let's fire our offensive coordinator, and then not sporting points

54
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: over the last night. It seems like they just react

55
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: and do things. At twenty nine, down a spot thirteen

56
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: and one, Lions have a chance for the number one

57
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: over overall. Pick. I don't know that Jaguars win that

58
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: final game against the Colts and the Lions lose, the

59
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: Lions get the number one overall. Picky. I haven't even

60
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: looked at the draft order the last week or two,

61
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: but little something that play for that close something to

62
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: play for. Lions are okay though the battle they just

63
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: don't have any town they players. They have been a

64
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: golf lately. Uh at up a spot. The four and

65
00:03:55,680 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: twelve Jets agreed lofty lofty for the Jets' move for

66
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: the Jets, but again, I probably should have won that

67
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: game against the bus. They probably should have to be

68
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: very honest with you. I mean, we even talked about

69
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: a BS Shenanigans and care at this point, but they

70
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: had that, you know that aside, they were probably the

71
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: better team in that gate, you know, and they they're

72
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: actually getting better. Zack Wilson starting to show up and

73
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: kind of looked like an NFL quarterback after not for

74
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: twelve weeks or something. At seven holding steady the preseason favorite,

75
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Houston preseason favorite to be thirty second. Yar right, exackly

76
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: them credit to I mean, at least them in the

77
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: Jets and the Lions are we don't have any talent,

78
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: but we're getting better and we're playing hard and not

79
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 1: rolling over. I respect that. At the six and ten

80
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 1: Washington football team hasn't been good lately either, Yeah, I

81
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: mean it, they kind of have that look of we're

82
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: ready for off season vacations. You know, let's get out

83
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: of here. At down two spots the seven and nine

84
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. It's not been good for them lately. They're

85
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: running game all of a sudden's dry. Yeah, and then

86
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: you realize what they really are. Is he gonna be back?

87
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: I think it's I think if they get smoked by

88
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: the Chiefs on next week, I think a Saturday game. Um,

89
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: it could be. It could be. I mean a minimum,

90
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's his fault that you know,

91
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: if you don't give the guy a quarterback like it's

92
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 1: pretty rough. Yeah, and care how good him an offensive

93
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: coordinator and a new quarterback, you know, but I think

94
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: he's more defensive coordinator than that coach. Yeah, I agree.

95
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 1: At twenty four up a spot, the Seattle Seahawks signs

96
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: of life. I mean they beat up and beat them bad,

97
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: and Wilson looked more like Wilson probably auditioning for a

98
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: new team. Yeah. Nice. K Metcalf, by the way, thanks man,

99
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: there you go. Thanks a lot, Thanks a lot. At

100
00:05:54,960 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: twenty three up a spot, the Chicago Bears. I suppose

101
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: they've strung together a couple of decent performances. Here, defense

102
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: gets after it. I'm cool with it, and folks, by

103
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: the way, other than actually, all of these teams at

104
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: this point here, so that's nine have worse records than

105
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: the Steelers had going into last night's game, right to one.

106
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: So even if you lost out, you probably weren't getting

107
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: ahead of these teams in the right, right, right right exactly.

108
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: At twenty two, the Atlanta Falcons, they're really bad too.

109
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I know they hung around and they could

110
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 1: have won that game too. And Matt Ryan gets a

111
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: weird tawning penalty at the end and turn it makes

112
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: things more difficult, but they don't have any quality wins

113
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: right uh. At twenty one down the three spots, the

114
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings Wheels are starting to come off there too.

115
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: Seawan Mannon, Okay, when people bring up Mason Rudolph, look

116
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: at Sean Manion's play this weekend. Look at Mike Glennon's

117
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: play this weekend. He's the worst of all. I mean,

118
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: he keeps getting he keeps getting money, he keeps getting money.

119
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of millions of dollars in the banks.

120
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: He's got more members of dollars in the bank than

121
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: he has wins. Yeah right, I mean just like two

122
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: years ago, the Bears gave him huge money before they

123
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: drafted in his career. I think it's worse. I really

124
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: think it's worse. It's really bad. I'll take Manuing over

125
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: him all day long, but I'll take Rudolph over both

126
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: of them. Tore from you know what I mean, they

127
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: might blow it up to Yeah, I think they made

128
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: around his course. Uh at twenty. Now we're into the top.

129
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: We're into the top upper tier here. Um, so you're

130
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: out of the you're out of the top twelve picks,

131
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: right all right? The seven and nine Cleveland Browns down

132
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: three spots. The Steelers are finally ahead of them in

133
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: the power rankings. Worst time all season, and let's pat

134
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: ourselves on the back. You and I would have had

135
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers above the Browns one week, two days ago,

136
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: you know, before that game, three weeks ago, four weeks,

137
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: five weeks before they beat them. You know they've been

138
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: they've now lost. Uh, they've won two of their last seven.

139
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? There? Too? They finished the

140
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: season two and six on the road. Wow, it's not

141
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 1: a good football team. And what's funny is you've said

142
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: this many times. This was their We're gonna play the

143
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs twice this year and once once in the opener

144
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: and once in the playoffs. What do you Here's my

145
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: hunch of how their quarterback situation goes next year. They

146
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: already picked up his option, so he's gonna be on

147
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: the team's guaranteed money unless they're gonna eat it and

148
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: trade them, which you're not get any for him, and

149
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,200
Speaker 1: nobody wants that contract but you anyway, So I assume

150
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Eire him and Kingdom again, or him

151
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: in the first round pick, or him and Mariota. I

152
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,599
Speaker 1: don't think they. I don't think they can afford to

153
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: spend the first round. Be shocked if its first round

154
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: pick because their first round pick almost has to be

155
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: a skill position offensive player receiver. Makes it a lot

156
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: of sense, I mean, because they probably can't go out

157
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: shopping for them anymore either. They they've spent their money.

158
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: Side note, I want to bring the stuff to the

159
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: Giants who are so horrible. Yeah, they have about two

160
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars in caps face next nice they're all into, oh,

161
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: we needs Kitty Golladay. The Browns next year have thirty

162
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,679
Speaker 1: four million dollars wrapped up in Baker Mayfield and Jarvis Landry,

163
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 1: and they may Field is completely guaranteed and he's getting it. Yeah. Um,

164
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: that's window may have your number one receiver, right, really,

165
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: you're right. I mean the first round pick quarterback aside

166
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: almost has to be next year, especially you're you're if

167
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: you're the Browns and you're watching the team across the

168
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: state throwing the ball to those to Chase and Higgins,

169
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: and you know they would kill for Tyler. They would

170
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: kill for Tyler. I'm just gonna say, like, oh, we'd

171
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: be our number one exactly. And they're gonna losing the

172
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 1: Joku and some of those other pieces too, you know. Um. Yeah,

173
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: they've been there bad at nineteen holding steady the Baltimore

174
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: Ravens at eight and eight. I think that's where they

175
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: finally have settled in. Yeah, I mean a lot of this.

176
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: We do these a lot almost every Tuesday, and I

177
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: have thought they've been too high for a while because

178
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 1: of reputation and who they are, but then they get

179
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,880
Speaker 1: off to a good start. They have lost five games

180
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: in a row. They have huge problems and they probably

181
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't have won all the games that they won or

182
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: that that's a good point. I mean, realistically there they

183
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: should probably have five or six wins right now. Yeah. No,

184
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: that's even how they played this year. That's not being

185
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: unfair at all. I mean, that's that's kind of been

186
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: what they are. Eighteen up two spots, the eight seven

187
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: and one Steelers, Okay, I mean I'm glad that their

188
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: second in the division. I don't know that. I guess

189
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 1: see how they comple these next teams off. If I

190
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: would put Pittsburgh ahead of them, but that's about right.

191
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 1: I mean I would swept the Browns they beat the Ravens.

192
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 1: We'll see if they sweep the Ravens this weekend then,

193
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, I mean just because they won last night,

194
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say you fight for them to be twelve,

195
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: you know, right right, you know they should be on

196
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: the outside looking. And yeah, the playoff teams, it's seventeen, okay,

197
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: I think they should be ahead of this team. The

198
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins says that Miami finally they finally played a

199
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: good team and they get exposed the the offense has

200
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: been a fraud every step of the way. The defense

201
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: has been good. The offense is r p O R

202
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: p oh. Somehow get the ball to Jaitleen Waddle, hope

203
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: he makes a play, don't block anybody. That's the offense.

204
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: And might you know you think the Steelers offense started

205
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: to watch? Yeah, they and they're gonna get beat again

206
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: by the They'll get beat by the Patriots this weekend.

207
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: I would imagine they'll finish eight nine. It's sixteen up

208
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: five spots the Saints. Who I can't put the Saints

209
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 1: ahead of the not with that quarterback. Now, with the

210
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: quarterback situation, their defense is really good. I would put

211
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: their defense ahead of the Steelers. All of what we

212
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: saw last night was promising. Their weapons are terrible, awful,

213
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: and they don't have a quarterback. And have a quarterback, yeah,

214
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: I mean they might run for a hundred Steelers even

215
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: but even Kamara hasn't done much lately. Right, he's the

216
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: only show in town. They would run for a hundred

217
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 1: forty yards against the Steelers because and that's all they

218
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: can do, and it'd end up with two hundred yards

219
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: off right Like the Browns game last night, scored nine

220
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 1: points and ten points, that still might win but you know, right,

221
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: it's fifteen. I hope they don't get in the playoffs.

222
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: That's a bad watch. I don't want to watch that game.

223
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to watch. And fan Frano at least

224
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: got some problems. I get a bunch of guys that

225
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: went on the COVID list. It's fifteen up a spot

226
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: the nine and seven Las Vegas Raiders. I give them

227
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: credit for hanging around. I buried them a month ago

228
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: and they're still alive. They could beat them two months ago.

229
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: You know, the Grooden stuff, the rug stuff and finding

230
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: ways to win. I didn't think they would win this week.

231
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: I think I gets said more about the Colts losing

232
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 1: that game and went and I thought the same. But

233
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: these guys keep hanging around but not losing the game

234
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: that one if they make if they you know, if

235
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 1: they somehow get into the playoffs. So they hire the interim,

236
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: maybe give him a year. I mean, you know, that's

237
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: the this is the problem with with hiring the interim coach.

238
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: We're having an interim coach firing your head coach. We're

239
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 1: having your head coach leaving the middle of a season.

240
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: Like if the interim does anything, you kind of there's

241
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: pressured to make him the full time guy and he

242
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: might not be that. And the thing is he all

243
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: he has to do is not stink. Everyone expects him

244
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: to to just be better than the last guy who

245
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: was the Browns guy that they did that made that

246
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: exact same mistake, was it all? They've done it a

247
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: dozen times? I mean just recently, right who was before?

248
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: Right before Stefanski because he took over mid season, didn't

249
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: it wasn't terrible. They kept him for another year thinking

250
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: of the Hugh Jackson after between Hugh and Stefanski kitchen

251
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: Fred right and probably shouldn't have should not have been

252
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: a head coach, not gad coach with here. Remember seeing

253
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: him at the at the spring meetings, sitting at the

254
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: table and they had they had the a f C

255
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: North guys lined up in a row. So it was

256
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: you know, Tomlin, you had hardball. I think Marvin mar

257
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: was Marvin at the time, and then Gomer Pyle, like

258
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: three of these guys are the stained hat on. It

259
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: was like, you know, he's just chewing to back. It's

260
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: just not a good look. My wife and knows none

261
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: of them would be like I'll hire those three guys

262
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: should not be just the CEO of you of your company.

263
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: At fourteen up a spot the nine and seven Philadelphia Eagles.

264
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: Freddy Kitchens, by the way, now calling offense for your

265
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: New York Football Giants. He was the architect of that

266
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: negative passing. His stock is not improved. Um, who do

267
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: we just say the Eagles at nine and seven? I

268
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: like the way they play. I really give that coaching

269
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: staff credit to I mean, they're hard to play against.

270
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 1: The fourth quarter, They're gonna run diwn your throat. They're

271
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: not super talented, you know, they're current four game winning streak.

272
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: They've beaten the Jets, the Giant in Washington twice. Kind

273
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: of a good football team. No, but I do want

274
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: to see them in the playoffs. I don't want to

275
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: see the Raiders in the playoffs. I don't want to

276
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: see the Saints in the playoffs. This goes back to

277
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 1: you know, we talked about this at the beginning of

278
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: the season. Schedule schedule, schedule, schedule. I mean, if you

279
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: look at the Steelers schedule and who they've beaten, they're good.

280
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: They're They're wins that they have are more impressive than

281
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: probably eight of the teams that are ahead of them. Yeah. Yeah,

282
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: I'm a believer in strength of schedule preseason when you

283
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: do it through Vegas odds, but you still realize you

284
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: might think Raiders without car change COD is a huge,

285
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: massive issue. I am really excited to look at every

286
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: formula I can find for strength of schedule once the

287
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: Sunday games end, and I bet the Steelers are still

288
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 1: the very top of list of our Yeah. I mean

289
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 1: without people said they put an easy they have not

290
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: played an easy schedule. No, I mean all the to

291
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: take what you wanted bout analytics and football siders. The

292
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: teams that played a brutal schedule this year, they're gonna

293
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: be betting their over win total next year. You know

294
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: that's the way it goes, you know, right? Uh at

295
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: thirteen up a spot the Chargers at nine and seven,

296
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 1: I guess inconsistent, very inconsistent. I mean the run defense

297
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: was a little better. Herbert's a star. Guys like Mike

298
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 1: Williams and Ekeler were important, but inconsistent. I'm curious what

299
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: they look like next year. Give them one more draft,

300
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: throw a big defensive tackle. You lose guys like Mike

301
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,920
Speaker 1: Williams and some of the pieces. Yeah, it's hard to maintain.

302
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: At twelve up a spot to San Francisco forty Niners.

303
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: Chargers verse Niners would be an interesting Yeah, Lance, it

304
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: was okay, got betters. The game went on. You know,

305
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: I think if you're Niners fan, you're excited about that,

306
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 1: compared to the the last time. You weren't really excited if

307
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 1: you were a Kittle owner. I mean, not a great

308
00:16:54,840 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: way neither. You know, at eleven down six spots. The Colts,

309
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: that's right, they probably get a little too high, you know. Yeah,

310
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: I think they're more I think they're closer to the Niners, know,

311
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: maybe not Eagles. You know, fringe playoff. They dealing with

312
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: some COVID stuff too. I think when they're at full strength, yeah,

313
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: I think there a potential contender. When they're not. It's

314
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,199
Speaker 1: been a Ones apologist forever to he was horrible this

315
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,360
Speaker 1: week and the things no practice though for the week.

316
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: You gotta take that was about to say that, and

317
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: the old lines all covided up and injured two. But

318
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: when it comes playoff time and you he's gonna still

319
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: be the worst quarterback on the field, you know, when

320
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: they play the Bengals, the Chargers the Chiefs, you know,

321
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,360
Speaker 1: all the all the ones. You'll be the worst quarterback

322
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: in the FC playoffs. Yeah, yeah, I would think so. Yeah.

323
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean Tanna has better than he is sometimes at

324
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: ten down four spots at eleven and five, the Dallas

325
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: Cowboys rough rough outing. I couldn't run the ball, Yeah,

326
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: if they can't run it there in trouble, Yeah, rough outing.

327
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: I almost want to just commend Arizona for that one.

328
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: But Dallas every time I believe that they're just when

329
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 1: you think, yeah, like I'm sure Green Bay is the

330
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: top NFC team on this list, and I was about

331
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 1: to say Dallas is right there on that tier now,

332
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: and then you know, then they can't sustain Your defense

333
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: is so turnover oriented. If they don't get turnovers. Culture

334
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: like that a little bit too. You know it's good

335
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: at it, Yes, you know it's hard. You can't count

336
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: on it. If Diggs isn't that they're intercepting passes, he's

337
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: given up touchdowns. There's a lot of variants, but that's

338
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: why he can't be NFL defensive player here. I don't

339
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:43,439
Speaker 1: care if he's got seventeen to interceptions. I don't think

340
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: it's close. And I come with ten names ahead of Yeah. Right,

341
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: at nine, those Arizona Cardinals. They righted the ship a

342
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: little bit. Did they go up? I mean, I guess

343
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: you gotta put my head of Dallas. Yeah. Uh at

344
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: eight holding steady the Patriots, I guess. I mean, I

345
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 1: don't think my opinion changed with them in one way

346
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: or another. I don't know that i'd pick them to

347
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: beat the Cowboys or Cardinals right now. I still think

348
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: the Cults are a better team than the Patriots. Which

349
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: quarterback you like better? Probably Wentz to a certain degree.

350
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: Wentz has not turned the ball over. To his credit,

351
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: you can say what you want about him, that Jones

352
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: has turned the football over a little bit. And if

353
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: you put pressure on him too, you know, if it's

354
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: it's a playoff type game, I'm gonna go with the

355
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: guys who at least played Patriots run the ball well.

356
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 1: But Jonathan Taylor's different, right, and the Patriots can't stop

357
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: the run. Both the decent defenses, well coached teams, and

358
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: yeah no, they're probably about the same tier. Seven up

359
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: four spots is the sleeping Giant. Now at eleven and

360
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 1: five the Tennessee Titans. I think that's where they belong.

361
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: I mean Derrick Henry coming back to Prett start practicing

362
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: this week. He probably he's not gonna play this week,

363
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: but right now, if the playoffs started, they would be

364
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: the right I mean, very boy. I think should being

365
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: Coach of the Year considerations. I mean, they had a

366
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: downtime and we're struggling at that point, but they had

367
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 1: a lot of money in the bag before that. The

368
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: defense gets after you. I mean they play hard. Yeah,

369
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: everybody's darling. The Dolphins going into that game this week,

370
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: got their doors blown off. They just ye weren't in

371
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: that game. They got pushed around and they got beat

372
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: up up front. Yeah, it'll be hard to play against

373
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: no matter where they're at. I mean, they're getting healthy

374
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: at the right time, right, that's all part of it.

375
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 1: Green Bay is one of those type of teams too. Yeah,

376
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: they're starting like all these guys are starting to come

377
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: back right right. It's nice to see it. I'll take you.

378
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 1: Uh it's six up a spot the Buffalo Bills. I

379
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: guess there's some inconsistency there. Allen was not on his game,

380
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: but they ran the ball and that was enough. But

381
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: the defenses makes up for a lot of it. Too. Okay,

382
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,439
Speaker 1: I still worry about them at cornerback now when they

383
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 1: get into a game, you know, if they the Bengals

384
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: or something. But problem good point uh at five, I

385
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: don't know if they're this good. But Bengals up four spots,

386
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: the ten and six Bengals, I don't know. If they're

387
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: number five one of those teams behind them, would you

388
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: go over them though? I mean, on their best day,

389
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 1: I'll take Dallas or Buffalo. But there's there's too may

390
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: not best days from those Yeah, I mean they haven't

391
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: played enough. They didn't They really didn't play those teams.

392
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 1: No one thing. And this is again this goes into

393
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: the scheduling stuff. That's what I was gonna say. It

394
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: kind of correlates the scheduling thing. They've been really fortunate

395
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,200
Speaker 1: with injuries. They've been one of the most healthy teams,

396
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: at least COVID affected teams, right right right, I mean,

397
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: they don't have substantial injuries killing them all year, especially

398
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: compared to the rest of division. He almost at this point,

399
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,399
Speaker 1: if your team hasn't been hit by COVID, go tell

400
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: your quarterback, go out and go club in tonight. You know,

401
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: if you're the Chiefs right now. Hill is good. Good

402
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 1: to go for the next ninety days is good. Like

403
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: all these guys are good to go, except for your quarterback.

404
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 1: You just keep him in bubble up. Yeah, I say, Patrick,

405
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 1: why don't you go out in the Bengals deserve all

406
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: the credit in the world. That's a huge win. That's

407
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: so we're getting ahead of ourselves. I mean, if you know,

408
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: I I don't know that the quarter best team in

409
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: the league, right I mean, their best players are all

410
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: like first or second year guys. Like they get into

411
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: a playoff game, is you know, is it coach Taylor

412
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 1: versus Belichick could read you know, like they're in a

413
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 1: playoff atmosphere at four down two spots the Chiefs, I'm

414
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,600
Speaker 1: fine with that. I don't hold that loss against them

415
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 1: really at all. I don't know that I could do

416
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: this though it's three up a spot the Buccaneers as

417
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: currently constructed. No, No, I think I put all those

418
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,200
Speaker 1: AFC teams ahead of them right now. Yeah, I mean,

419
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: they snuck, they snuck past the Jets. They should probably

420
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: should have lost that game. They probably should have lost

421
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: that Who are I mean, losing Antonio on the field

422
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: hurts them right now? Let me on Bell right now

423
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: is their only healthy running back right part for them?

424
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: They never either their defensive ends in game, like Brady.

425
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 1: If I'll take Brady Brady to weather any storm and

426
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: he can lead my ship no matter what. But he

427
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: needs his guys. And even like as much as I

428
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 1: love Mike Evans, he's not a passing game goes through him, right,

429
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: Monte Adams Stefon Diggs type, you know that just gets

430
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: open at will because there's no answer for him. He's

431
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: a I'm bigger than the guys. Next year, I'm gonna

432
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: go catch up point me. I think he's awesome, but

433
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,239
Speaker 1: he's not throwing fifteen balls. And Davante Adams didn't get

434
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: open all day long, you know what I mean? In

435
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: fact up on the Steelers, I have Chase Claypool. Hey,

436
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: go watch some Mike Evans states that awesome? Right? Be

437
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: that guy? Uh at two up a spot the twelve

438
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: and four rams. They got problems though I'm at the

439
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: quarterback position too. I know you're not a Stafford believer.

440
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: Some of your Texas sent me over the weekend. He

441
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: was awful in that game. Awful. He he was fourteen

442
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: and fourteen the second half against the Ravens, and probably

443
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: that was the reason they end up winning. But he

444
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: was before that, Yeah, it was once like and the

445
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 1: week before that was even worse. I mean, one throws

446
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: the ball to the other team a lot inexplicitly bad ones.

447
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: I mean forty year old Brett farve in ones, you know,

448
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: like some of it's just what were you looking at

449
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: their like Ubris like, I'm so talented, I don't have

450
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 1: to worry about what the coverages are and things like that.

451
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just gonna throw this through the defender.

452
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they'll win in the super role. I

453
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: mean I don't think. I don't think they'd be this

454
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: high on my list. Uh. And then of course one

455
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: of the Green Bay Packers. That's an easy one right now,

456
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:32,719
Speaker 1: and we'll see if it holds up, but it's an

457
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: easy one right now. I mean, they are getting healthy

458
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,360
Speaker 1: at the right point at the right time. If you're

459
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,560
Speaker 1: looking at the two teams that are getting healthy at

460
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: the right time, Titans, it's the Titans and Packers. It's interesting,

461
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 1: it is. I Mean you can look at the Bengals

462
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 1: and say, well, they've they've been healthy all season long.

463
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: But again, that COVID thing is just looming out there

464
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: because it's good. You can't be when every other team

465
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: in the league, when every I think I saw something

466
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: like the of the U S population has now had

467
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: this latest variant something wrong. I don't know the big

468
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 1: of them, but it's been a big number. So therefore

469
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: and you had none, right, that's just I mean, I'm

470
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: not wishing it on them. Yeah, it's not like COVID

471
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 1: exists everywhere, but the town with Cincinnati, right, there's not

472
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: a bubble around the whole city, right, you know, And

473
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: and you get Joe Burrow said, well, you know, we

474
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: don't have any nightlife here, so we don't get it.

475
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: That's not has nothing to do with it. Your more

476
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:29,479
Speaker 1: nightlife than Green Bay, right, or Buffalo or you know, right,

477
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: pick a town. And that means, you know, it's yeah,

478
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: it defies logic. Speaking of Green Bay, you gotta go

479
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: there now, I mean, yeah, that's miserable. I mean that

480
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: gave me other night was And I think like Aaron

481
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: Jones is looking good again, and Dylan and here comes

482
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: to Darius Smith and maybe Box the ri and but

483
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: much like the the argument that I hate so much

484
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: about the Steelers. They should have want a lot more

485
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,640
Speaker 1: with Ben and they even had a playoff wins since

486
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, that team's had home field advantage and

487
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: it's lost. They lose the NACY Championship game a lot,

488
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, Hey, it's the way

489
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: the league works. Yeah, we'll see how that works out.

490
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: But uh, that's the that's the power rankings, and that's

491
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: what a lot of arguments with those. No, I mean,

492
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 1: it's pretty yeah much you should be for seventeen weeks.

493
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: I guess we know what these teams are. There's only

494
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: one week laft at yeah. Right. Anyways, we're gonna take

495
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: a break. When we come back, it's time for the

496
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: Fantasy football focus. We'll do that right after this
