1
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,639
Speaker 1: This is straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up

2
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: straight Fire? Fam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire for Monday,

3
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: November seventh. Hope everybody had a splendid daylight Savings time weekend.

4
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 1: I know Rob G did not get a lot of sleep.

5
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: I did not get a lot of sleep either. Um.

6
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: It was the first weekend my son partook in. His

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: club volleyball team had a tournament. And listen, you guys

8
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,520
Speaker 1: know I love when my son did club basketball because

9
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 1: it's like you drive their basketball game, break basketball game home.

10
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: Volleyball is a different animal. It's seven hours basically in

11
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 1: the gym. So by Sunday was spent watching on Red Zone,

12
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: struggling with the WiFi, finding one of his teammates Dads

13
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: who had a hot spot on his phone. I'm gonna

14
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: go on a side tangent for ten seconds. Bear with me.

15
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: I called a T and T when I found out

16
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: about this tournament. I gotta get a hot spot on

17
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: my phone. So I called them. I'm like, hey, I

18
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: need to add a hot spot. They're like, okay, let

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: me look at your plan. They look at me your plan. Oh,

20
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: you got a good plan. Your grandfathered in, you're paying

21
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: like nothing. As a result, we're gonna charge you a

22
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month for a hot spot. And I

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: was like, you gotta be joking. And they're like, no,

24
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: because you paid nothing for your plan because you've had

25
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: it for like fifteen years. So to add a hot

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: spot it's this much. I'm like, you can't just add

27
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: it separately. So then I ranted an a t and

28
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: t yelled at them and hung up and did not

29
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: get a hot spot. But it's like, you know, without

30
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: a hot spot and not good WiFi, it's tough. And

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, ends up. There's a there's a cafeteria in

32
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: the volleyball arena and I go there and they're showing

33
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: you know, like rowing and whatever a crap is on

34
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: the television. Sunday morning. I'm like, YoY, we get some

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: NFL in here. He's like, oh, my managers not here.

36
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: I was like, well, can we can we get him

37
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: on the horn? I mean, honestly, I have the backpack

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: with my computer of my phone. Ultimately they get us

39
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: red Zone, which really saved the day. Um, but it

40
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: was awesome weekend. If lleybout my son's team went six

41
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: and oh just a grand old time. I did have

42
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: a couple of people come up to me and say, hey,

43
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: are you on the Herd? And I just, you know,

44
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,959
Speaker 1: kind of smiled and I was like, Yeah, that's me,

45
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 1: Thanks for watching. You know. One of those deals heard

46
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: is Roland uh Cowherd getting a little feisty. He's very

47
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: excited today. We're talking a lot of New York Jets. Yeah, baby,

48
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: take down the Buffalo Bills. Listen. I'm not gonna start

49
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: with the Jets obviously. I can't Rob g Will you know,

50
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: make me re record the podcast because I can't open

51
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: with the Jets. But they're a great story right now.

52
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: And the NFL is in a weird place, folks. The

53
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers lead packers stink. I don't know if you've

54
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: looked at their upcoming schedule, but my take last Sunday

55
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: for two out of three or one out of three

56
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: Bucks Rams Packers, one or two of them is going

57
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: to miss the playoffs. Well, the Ram suffered as brutal

58
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 1: as a beat as you will find. We'll get into that.

59
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: And I don't know what to make of the package

60
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: right now. They bottom line, there's just not a good

61
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: football team. I to really misread their offense. The Davante

62
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: Adams lost massive. We'll get to the Packers. They are

63
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: in a free fall. Their upcoming schedule is brutal. Buccaneers

64
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: survive by that. I don't know how the hell they

65
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: pulled off. They're not good either, but let's be realistic.

66
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: But then again, I gotta ask you who the hell

67
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: is good in the NFL this year? Because Thursday Night,

68
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: the Eagles undefeated, big favorites, go to Houston, don't cover,

69
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: but they win. Buffalo Bills, big, double digit favorites, go

70
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: to the Jets, lose outright. And then Sunday Night football,

71
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs huge two touchdown favorites against Malik Willis

72
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: and they nearly lose, and the Chiefs pull it off

73
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: in overtime, but do not cover. Double digit favorites. Are

74
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: you ready for this? Double digit favorites against the spread

75
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: this year ten and twenty unbelievably bad. And that shows

76
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: the parody in this league. I'm gonna shock you with

77
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: a stat I didn't realize this, but you know, like listen,

78
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm on red Zone, so I'm not able to be

79
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: on Twitter all of Sunday and I'm reading the box scores,

80
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: and I'm rereading, going through all the newspapers, reading the games.

81
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,680
Speaker 1: I don't want to miss anything. I'm a nerd. This

82
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: is hours spent Sunday night while watching Sunday Football, combing

83
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: through all the articles to find out what is happening

84
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: with these teams and folks. It dawned upon me that

85
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: this is the NFL. On Sunday we had are you

86
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: ready for this? Four games end with the final score

87
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: that ladies and gentlemen? Is the NFL in a nut

88
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 1: cell this season? Nobody can get margin. Underdogs rule the day,

89
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: and every game is unbelievably close. I cannot tell you

90
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: the Sunday one pm slate one pm for the East Coast,

91
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: ten am for the West Coast. So because six teams

92
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: runna buy, you only had seven games and two of

93
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: those games, well, one was a blowout the Panthers. I

94
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: don't know what the hell I was thinking. P J.

95
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: Walker was absolutely horrible, got bench, b Baker Mayfield came in.

96
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: It looks like Baker's gonna start the next game. He

97
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: beat up on the backup Bengals. But that's like fourteen

98
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: or whatever. It was blowout City another game, the Patriots

99
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: slowly pulled away from the Colts. Uh idiot me dropped

100
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots defense in Fantasy this week. Now, I did have,

101
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: uh the Eagles, which I can ride out, but the

102
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: I mean Patriots defense is unbelievable, totally bottled up, sam Linger.

103
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: Some of the stats are ridiculous. The other five games, folks,

104
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: I'm not even kidding. We're basically a coin toss until

105
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: the final two minutes. That's how insane this league is

106
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: this year. And it was an up and down weekend

107
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: for me. I listen, I know I put this on

108
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: the I G Stories. It's not a flex because it's

109
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: just a hail Mary. Yeah. I'll probably end up playing

110
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: a Powerball tonight, which I think it's like we at

111
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: one point eight million. I don't even know the number.

112
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 1: But I had a nine team parlay. Two of them pushed,

113
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: so it got down to a kick down to a

114
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: sevent team parlay, but it hit. This is two weeks

115
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: in a row. I hit shot parlays and basically all

116
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm doing in the parlays is going underdog and small favorite.

117
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: I'm and I'm fading all like the big favorites, and

118
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 1: you know I got a little bit lucky, um, but

119
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: that that's what Sunday was like. Chargers win at the

120
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: buzzer on a freak field goal. Bears covered for me,

121
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: but we're in it until the final minute. That Justin Fields,

122
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: by the way, again another's topic from last Sunday opened

123
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: last week's podcast with is Justin Fields the best quarterback

124
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: from the class of has he overtaken Trevor Lawrence? Folks?

125
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 1: Did you guys see what Justin Fields did? Now? I

126
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: know this because that was the game I followed the closest.

127
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: I had some Bears money line. That one stun so.

128
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: First of all, the Bears defense, we know is garbage.

129
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: They can't keep up. But I told you Bears Miami

130
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: over that was That was one of the games we

131
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: talked about last week. It was gonna maybe be some

132
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,919
Speaker 1: weather and then you're like, well the Bears, no Robert Quinn,

133
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: no real Quans with Miami is an offensive machine up

134
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: and down the field. Tyreek Hill, I saw this, Thatt

135
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill has more receiving yards through nine games than

136
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 1: any player in NFL history. He's unstoppable. Bears can't stop you.

137
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: But guess what Justin Fields is. I mean, listen, I

138
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: don't want to say he's unstoppable, but Justin Fields had

139
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 1: more rushing yards than any quarterback has in an NFL

140
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: game ever, hundred and seventy eight on fifteen carries. Listen,

141
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: that's sixty one yard touchdown. Again, I'm in like a cafeteria.

142
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: There's probably forty people around. I didn't I know one

143
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 1: lady that I was talking to. When Fields takes off,

144
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm like, come on, Justin, come on, and then you

145
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: stand up, and I felt like Cosmo Kramer, you know

146
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: in that Seinfeld episode where he's at the the O

147
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: t B and he's like begging for that horse to

148
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: to come through. Justin Fields looks like Michael Vick in

149
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: the open field and feels sixty one yard touchdown. But

150
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: it's not like you can just run. You have three

151
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. Claypool was, okay, folks, you're looking for a

152
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: bylow sticker Chicago Bears. I'm telling you what Fields if.

153
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,239
Speaker 1: If ebra Flus can get some guys to fit his scheme,

154
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: this team next year could be feisty because we know

155
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: the Packers are going down. The Lion's got a way

156
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: to go, and the Vikings continue to be the luckiest

157
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: freaking team in the league. I got I got Washington

158
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: in a push, but I thought the biggest social media

159
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: win from Sunday, And I don't know if Rob will agree.

160
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: Um kirk Cousins, who did not look good through a

161
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: pick six right uh, Washington's leading seventeen seven on the

162
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. I'm feeling good about Washington and then kirk

163
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: Cousins leads a little bit of a comeback. Taylor Heinekey

164
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: does what he does through an interception, and then afterward,

165
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw this, Rob kirk Cousins

166
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: shirtless on the private jet or the team plane, and

167
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: he's got gold chains around his neck and he's doing

168
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: some dance with with the team, like the rap music blaring,

169
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: and it's like, I mean, it just felt like a

170
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 1: very kirk Cousins video. Rob. The Minnesota Vikings have the

171
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: second best record in the entire NFL seven and one.

172
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 1: They are now six and oh in one score games. Listen,

173
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: I saw the Vikings being better. I Uh, how do

174
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: I say this politely? I don't want to upset the

175
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: Vikings fans. Rob, the Minnesota Vikings aren't that good there's

176
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:14,199
Speaker 1: seven and what but they're not that good? Yeah, I mean,

177
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: I I tend to agree with you. I mean, even

178
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: though I think they're better than the New York Jets,

179
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: will you, but I mean, just just look at look

180
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: at the schedule. Okay. So they beat the Packers, which

181
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: at the time we thatt was a big win. Obviously,

182
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: Now they got blown out by the Eagles, they squeaked

183
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,959
Speaker 1: by Detroit, New Orleans. Neither one of those are excited about.

184
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: They beat the Bears, they beat the Dolphins, I believe

185
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: to what did not play in that game? Yeah, look

186
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: at if you look at the quarterbacks beat, it's like

187
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: they beat the Cardinals. And then they beat the Commanders

188
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: with Taylor Heineke. So I don't know if they're good.

189
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: I don't think they're a bad team those and and

190
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: then you know, I much rather be seven and one

191
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: and not be a good team than be four and

192
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: three and be like, hey, but we're right there. They're

193
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: up four and a half games on the Packers in

194
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: the NFC North four and a half. Now, I'll tell

195
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: you right now, they're going to Buffalo next week, and

196
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: I have a feeling they're gonna get smashed that's just

197
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: my gut. Um. So now we can say way to

198
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo and the Jets. So I'll preface this by I

199
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: am I pride myself on being a realist. Okay, I

200
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: will argue you and debate you anything, um, but I

201
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: am at heart a realist. I understand that the Jets

202
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: faced it depleted Buffalo defense. No, Matt Milano is enormous.

203
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: He's like their captain of the defense in the middle

204
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: of the field. He's an incredible player. Trade Avious White,

205
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: it could have been back from my art. They did

206
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: not bring him back from He's back from my r

207
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 1: but he was inactive for the game. Okay, their safety

208
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: was not. So what they should have done was just

209
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: smother The held the Jets offense, and the Jets were

210
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: able to run the football. They're like a hundred seventy

211
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: yards on the ground. In my heart of hearts, yes,

212
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: I understand. It's a huge one for the Jets. They

213
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: were eleven a point underdogs. I think they take down

214
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. They made Josh Allen look mortal. And

215
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, that's now six straight quarters. Robbed second

216
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: half of that Packers game. When Alan was a little shaky,

217
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: and now against the Jets, he had to turn over

218
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: in the red zone, a turnout, a bad interception to

219
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner that led directly to a Jets touchdown. Like,

220
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: he didn't play great. So that's now six straight quarters.

221
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the book outs on him. I'm just

222
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: saying Packers and Jets kind of sort of slowed him

223
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: down the final six quarters. Can the Vikings do that?

224
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. But the Jets win is massive and

225
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: for multiple reasons. Number one, they go into the by

226
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: with great momentum. You know, I'm a momentum kind of guy.

227
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: A lot of people scoff at momentum. You just take

228
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: down the Super Bowl favorite at home. Uh, a week

229
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 1: after Zack Wilson, you know, urinated all over himself and

230
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: everybody's like, oh yeah, he's done. There's no way that

231
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: Jets are keeping him. Like, that's a great win, that's

232
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: something to build on. Now. The reality is the only

233
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: way the Jets have a path to victory. It's pretty simple.

234
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: We are gonna play smash mouth defense. Our corners are

235
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: gonna lock you up. Sauce Gardener. I think he might

236
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: have got away with one there on the final pass

237
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: to Gabriel Davis, We're gonna pass rush the hell out

238
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: of you. If you look closely at that At that

239
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: Builds Jets game, Jets won the line of scrimmage. Jermaine Johnson,

240
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: the kid had f SU so he was injured and

241
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: then he was coming back from injury and they were

242
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: able to trade Jacob Martin, one of their pass rushers,

243
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: cleased way for Johnson to come in and read havoc. Well,

244
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: what does Johnson do? He had a big game, and

245
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: again you've got to go on YouTube and like watch it,

246
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: not every single play, but if you watch the Josh

247
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: Allen snaps in particular, the Jets were able to contain him.

248
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 1: I know he had two rushing touchdowns, but they started

249
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: to spy him more in the second half after that

250
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: second rushing touchdown and he could not really get on track.

251
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 1: They still don't have a running game. Uh Diggs did

252
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: beat Sauce Gardener early, but other than that, the Jets

253
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: really I think they got five sacks on um on

254
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. They had eight quarterback hits, two from Franklin Myers,

255
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 1: one from Johnson, H C. J. Moseley. They really got

256
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: after from the Jets won the line of scrimmage against

257
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl favorite. Now again, can Michael Carter and

258
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 1: uh James Robinson, can they run for a buck seventy

259
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 1: five all the time. Well, yeah, guys, I've seen this before,

260
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: and I gotta get him on the podcast eventually. But

261
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez was the quarterback of the Jets team that

262
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 1: did this and got the two AFC title games. Say

263
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: just was limited. He was the top five pick out

264
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: of USC and Rex Ryan did not wanted to make

265
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: mistakes and Rex Ryan was gonna coach him up and

266
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: then the defense was gonna dominate games. Listen man, Garrett

267
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: Wilson had eight catches. Look the rest of the I mean,

268
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: I guess Elijah Moore wasn't active. Denzel Mims had a catch,

269
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: Carter had one, Tyler Conklin Braxton burials. Like they're just

270
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: piecemealing yard together and the defense is winning. Is that sustainable?

271
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: What depends when you face to the playoffs. I mean,

272
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: if you face if the Jets get the five seed

273
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: and they face the four seed, which would be the

274
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 1: nf a f C South winner, You're looking at the

275
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. You're telling me they can't bottle up Derrick

276
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: Henry and win that game. Of course they can. Now

277
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens is a bit of another animal. Um. That team,

278
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: assuming they're healthy, is gonna be dangerous. I don't want

279
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: to see them go against the Cincinnati Begals again. That

280
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: did not go well the healthy Jamaar Chase, And yes,

281
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: I definitely do not want the facing the Kansas City Chiefs.

282
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: But speaking of Chiefs, uh, you know, Rob, this does

283
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: this Bills lost to the Jets really does open the door.

284
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: Who's going to get the number one seed in the

285
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: a f C. It when they beat the Chiefs, it

286
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: was thought, Okay, they're gonna get it. They're gonna lock

287
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: it up. The schedule pretty favorable. They Bill still have

288
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: to go to Cincinnati. I don't know if you can

289
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: automatically of them a win over the Dolphins since they

290
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: already lost to them. But the game is at home

291
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: in Buffalo in December. They still have two games against Belichick,

292
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: they have the Vikings and the Browns, so the path

293
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: is is there. But I don't think it's the layup

294
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: that I thought it was. Rob. I thought the Buffalo

295
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: Bills had a lock on the number one seed, and

296
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: now Kansas City and Buffalo were tied, and all of

297
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's like, well, okay, they didn't look good

298
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 1: against Tennessee, but what is the rest of the schedule,

299
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 1: Hold Jaguars, Chargers, We'll see how the Chargers health. Is

300
00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: that mean that Justin Herbert was thrown to like third

301
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: and fourth and fifth string dudes? Rams, we know they're

302
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: not good. They do also have a trip to the

303
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 1: Bengals Broncos. Won't be easy, but they'll win. Texans, Seahawks, Broncos, Raiders.

304
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: Like they're gonna be favored in every game the rest

305
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: of the way, most of those by a touchdown. I

306
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: don't know, man, this rob would you agree that whoever

307
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: gets home field in the a f C obviously there's

308
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: the favorite for the Super Bowl because I still don't

309
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: think that I would take Buffalo if they have to

310
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: go to Kansas City again. I just I don't think so.

311
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: I've been I'm betting on Mahomes and and read. Well,

312
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: I bet on Mahomes and Read even if they had

313
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: to go to Buffalo and take on that that team

314
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: and it's not a slide against Josh Allen and and

315
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: their team I think they're great, but what we saw

316
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: last night from Patrick Mahomes, we had to put it

317
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: up with sixty eight times, no running game to speak of,

318
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: none they they I know that Tennessee was limited offensively,

319
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: but you know, Derrick Henry is a problem for that

320
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: Kansas City a defense like that. That's just one of

321
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: those guys, and that matchup does not work well for them.

322
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: Buffalo does not run the football you just you just

323
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: said they're Their best run is Josh Allen and you

324
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: can't rely on that kind of offense in a playoff setting.

325
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: And what Patrick Mahomes has shown over and over and

326
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: over and over is when things are perfect, he's going

327
00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: to destroy you. When it's you know, fast Track has

328
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: all his weapons, everybody's healthy, there's no wind and rain

329
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: and cold and everything. He's gonna destroy you. When things

330
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 1: are bad, he's probably still gonna beat you. It doesn't

331
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: matter if you get up him by ten, doesn't matter

332
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: if you're losing the turnover battle. He just finds ways

333
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: to get it done. And he got it done last night.

334
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: So if you're Buffalo, you have to be kicking yourself

335
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 1: for letting this one go. I mean, the Jets are

336
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: like to your point, I don't think they're a great team,

337
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: but they have a formula that works for them. They

338
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 1: run the ball really well. They played great defense. Hopefully

339
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson doesn't kill you. I know he had at

340
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: least we had one turn or anything, only had one. Yeah,

341
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, for all of his physical gifts and his talent,

342
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: and I think he's probably the second best quarterback in football.

343
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: He turns it over at an unusually high rate for

344
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,400
Speaker 1: a guy of his skills, Like, I don't, I don't.

345
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense to me why. Maybe he's trying

346
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: to do too much to compensate for the lack of

347
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 1: running game. Maybe he feels like he has to be

348
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: Superman every play. But when it when you're comparing teams

349
00:18:06,720 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: that are that close, in this case Buffalo in Kansas City,

350
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: it's always gonna come down to the quarterbacks. And I

351
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,159
Speaker 1: don't think there's anybody in the NFL period that you

352
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: would trust more than Patrick Mahomes in a big game. Yeah,

353
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 1: I didn't realize he threw sixty eight passes. That's crazy.

354
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 1: So Mahomes attempted sixty eight, Malik Willis sixteen. He completed

355
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: five pass, five completions. They basically had two plays, a

356
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry burst and then the first pass of the

357
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: game that went to some guy I've never heard of

358
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: for forty eight yards. Um, but nobody wants to talk

359
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,480

364
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: of We're gonna get to the Seahawks, We'll get to

365
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: the Rams. I just need to go to the Raiders

366
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 1: here because they were the big play of the weekend

367
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: for me. And again, I'm at a volleyball tournament. I see, okay, uh,

368
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: Raiders go up, Davante Adams study field goal? Okay, ten, okay, ten?

369
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: Nothing all right, looks good. Uh seventeen seventeen nothing, all right,

370
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: it's fired up, feeling good. Rob seventeen nothing. And at

371
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: that point it hit me that, oh, you know, Jash

372
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: McDaniels has blown to seventeen point leads this season, but

373
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 1: not this time. No, they got this one. I mean

374
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: Davante Adams in the hold on his first half stats

375
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: seventeen for a buck, forty six and two touchdowns. That's

376
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: the first half. I was like, all right, they got this,

377
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: and truthfully, Rob, I turned away from that game for

378
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: a little while. Trevor Lawrence kind of woke up and

379
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: started slicing and dicing one of the worst secondaries in

380
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: the league. Next thing you notes seventeen ten and then

381
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: the Raiders offense does what it does when it gets

382
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: seventy point leads. Rob. They they do nothing. Davante Adams

383
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: in the second half had one cats for zero yards

384
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:14,879
Speaker 1: on six targets, and then he popped off after the

385
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: game because he's getting Piste. He got all this money.

386
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers needs him, and the Raiders stink. The Raiders

387
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: had four first downs in the second half. Rob seventeen nothing,

388
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: lead Piste away. Trevor Lawrence out plays, yes, out plays

389
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. I don't know what's wrong with Derek Carr.

390
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: He looks unhappy, he looks uncomfortable. I know the line

391
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 1: is not good, but it's freaking Jacksonville. Davis Mills can

392
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 1: look competent against these guys. Matt Ryan carved these punks up.

393
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:54,680
Speaker 1: Jacksonville's Daxonville is not good. And then Derek Carr gets

394
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: the ball back and I'm like, all right, they got

395
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 1: a chance, Rob, they got a chance. I'm thinking in

396
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: my head, all right, Rob, And then you know, at

397
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: this point, I'm in front of red zone on the TV.

398
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: So I opened Twitter and I said, Derek car he's

399
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: got one more chance to let me down, and of

400
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: course he did, and the Raiders lose. They score nothing

401
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 1: in the second half, zero points outscored seventeen nothing. Josh

402
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:19,160
Speaker 1: McDaniels keeps looking down at the place sheet like there's

403
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: answers on there or something, and Rob, I don't. At

404
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 1: this point, I don't. I don't know what to say.

405
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: I told you guys, I've been hearing that the stuff

406
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: behind the scenes was not great with McDaniels, the coaches.

407
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: They don't know what the problem is. There's a lot

408
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: of finger pointing going on with the owner. He brought

409
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: on McDaniels, so he's blaming McDaniels. Well, do you think

410
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: McDaniels is gonna own up to it and be like, yeah,

411
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: this is about on me. I've been doing his dogshit job,

412
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: holding protecting leads, getting our team prepared, whether it's a

413
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: blowing a seven point lead or just no showing in

414
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 1: New Orleans and getting blanked by Andy Dalton. Like, at

415
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 1: some point Josh McDaniel is going to have to fire

416
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: one of his coordinators. Somebody's got to get five, somebody's

417
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: got to pay the price. You don't get to the

418
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: playoffs with an interim coach. Then add Davante Adams, arguably

419
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: one of the best receiving in the league, and now

420
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: you're just losing game after game. There was a report,

421
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: I think from Jake Glazer that the Packers were trying

422
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: to trade for Darren Waller. Darren Waller again, this is

423
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: four weeks. Like last week, he tried to give the

424
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: hampstring to go before the game and couldn't do it.

425
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: So you're like, okay, well he was close. He should

426
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: be good this week inactive again, What the hell? What's

427
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: going on? Does he not want to play? Didn't he

428
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: get the bag? I don't get it. Hunter Renfro just

429
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: lost now third in Renfro was so clutch, always showed

430
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: up last year two catches six yards, Josh Jacobs just

431
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: running over everybody sixty seven yards. Rob I need answers

432
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: and I need him now. Josh McDaniel sucks. I mean,

433
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 1: there is no way around it. Derek Carr, who has

434
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: become the poster child for everything that's wrong with the Raiders,

435
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 1: and and he deserves a good amount of blame. I'm

436
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: not gonna say he doesn't. But the previous two season,

437
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: entering this one, Derek Carr and the Raiders offense on

438
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: potential game winning or go ahead drives six out of seven,

439
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: seven out of ten, oh for five. Wow. And this

440
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: is with the addition of Davante Adams, a guy who,

441
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: for my money's best receiver in football. This is including

442
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: Hunter Renfro who coming into this season was arguably one

443
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: of the best slot receivers in the NFL. And Josh

444
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: McDaniels comes in and he has his way of doing things,

445
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,840
Speaker 1: which Davante Adams, who I want to make sure that

446
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: people understand, Davanta Adams doesn't talk ever. Like he is

447
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: he is a superstar who does not speak. He's not

448
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 1: like Kauai level of mute, but he doesn't talk ever.

449
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: He said during the preseason, you know this this playbooks

450
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:09,040
Speaker 1: kind of like learning Mandarin. It's really tough, he says yesterday. Well,

451
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: I don't know why we went away from passing the

452
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: ball because we were carving him up that way in

453
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: the second half, they said, well, let's establish the run.

454
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: Because Josh McDaniels just doesn't get it. He doesn't inspire

455
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 1: any kind of confidence. When things start to go bad,

456
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: they snowball quickly. He doesn't know how to be a

457
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: head coach. And that's not even a knock on him.

458
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: But because there's a lot of guys who wanted to

459
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,440
Speaker 1: be head coaches. Look at Nathaniel Hacken in Denver. People

460
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: loved him as an oc with Aaron Rodgers and in

461
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: that offense, and you get him as that guy he

462
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: has to bring in a special uh what is it,

463
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: like a circumstances coach to help him when when things

464
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: get tricky there at the end, like analytics. I don't

465
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: know whatever that guy's job is, but his job is

466
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: just didn't whatever to advise him when he doesn't know

467
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: what he's doing. But what do you think that pays,

468
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: by the way, Probably more than I'm getting, that's for sure.

469
00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 1: But but look like the Raiders and Dvanta Adams even

470
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: said this, they they're too there's too much talent on

471
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 1: that team. For them to be as bad as they've

472
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: been this season, to be blowing these big leads over

473
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: and over and over. It doesn't make sense why a

474
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: team that went to the playoffs last season was like

475
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: ten yards away from beating Cincinnati in Cincinnati, a team

476
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: that went represent an have seen in the Super Bowl.

477
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: I think they got they caught it and tackled him

478
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: at the three, or didn't they did not even get

479
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: it was incomplete. Derek Carr threw a past that I

480
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,239
Speaker 1: think he would have caught. He would have be down

481
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 1: like the one yard line, so wouldn't matter. But you

482
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: you you brought some of those guys back from last season,

483
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: and you you added Davante Adams, you add Chandler Jones,

484
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: you had some guys in the secondary. They're only one

485
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: player on their current Raiders rosters I think is better

486
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: than they were last season. That's Josh Jacobs. Derek Carr's

487
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: taking a huge step back. The Renfrolls taking a huge

488
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: step back. Darren They're staking each of that back. Max

489
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,439
Speaker 1: Crosby is about the same. Denzel Perman was a pro bowler.

490
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: He's he's a liability now. Didn't they add Will Chan,

491
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, who I don't think has a single sack

492
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 1: on the season. Oh my god. And so it's just

493
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:17,960
Speaker 1: like it if it was just one guy, then you say, hey,

494
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 1: you know it's Derek Car's fault, or hey it's uh

495
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: Max Croy whoever? If it's just what but that all

496
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 1: of these guys basically across the board take a step back.

497
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: That's something institutional that's wrong with their team. And I

498
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: think it starts with Chandler Jones. Half yeah, sure he

499
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: changed him, he had half my bad but like this team,

500
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: this team is going nowhere. And if if Mark he

501
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,439
Speaker 1: has two and a half um no it forced fumbles,

502
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, zero force fall it's all bad. He's having

503
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: How much money are they wasting on this guy? Rob?

504
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: Here's the tough part about Derek Carr. Davante Adams and

505
00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: Car are boys. Davante they went to Fresno State together,

506
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: Divindy Adams all excited. I think that I think I

507
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: saw report they live in the same neighborhood. I don't

508
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: know if that's true. Okay, what happens when Josh McDaniel says,

509
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:10,919
Speaker 1: I want to get rid of my quarterback so I

510
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: can run my schemes and my offense. Then what what

511
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: does Davante Adams say, Well, I didn't come here to

512
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: be with some quarterback that I don't know. Now here's

513
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: the tricky thing. Rob the Raiders as of now and

514
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,680
Speaker 1: it's early have the third pick in the NFL draft.

515
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,479
Speaker 1: Does McDaniels say, I don't veteran. We get a quarterback

516
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: on the rookie deal, and you can sell the owner on,

517
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: hey man, you bring you up Bryce Young in here.

518
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: We can pay for an offensive lineman. The Davante Adams

519
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: contract is an ownerous. We can add a quarterback. We

520
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: could go spending. We just got to get a quarterback

521
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: on a rookie deal. Then maybe we move Derek cart

522
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: Now I don't know. Is I think he might have

523
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 1: a no trade? I don't know. But but they can

524
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: cut him this offseason and only it costs six million

525
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: against So then is there a bidding war for Derek Carr?

526
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: And And I'll ask you who is more attractive? Okay?

527
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: So I think any quarterback who hits the market, Jimmy

528
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 1: Garoppol is probably number one, right, And Jimmy Garoppol is

529
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 1: going to have his choice. I mean, my gut instinct

530
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: is most quarterbacks will want to work with Brian Dable.

531
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: He worked Wonders with Josh Allen and you know he's

532
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:22,119
Speaker 1: made Daniel Jones not a sloppy clown back there for

533
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: the Giants. I mean he's been okay, competent. I think

534
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy G would want to work with him. That being said,

535
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 1: Jimmy G was with Josh McDaniels in New England. Does

536
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 1: mc daniels say, hey, you know, we could take the

537
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: third pick, but you know what we want, Jimmy G.

538
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: We've got a ready made roster like the Raiders could

539
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: have options. But is that going to tick off Davante Adams?

540
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: This is It's gonna be very interesting what happens with

541
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders. And I know people think I'm going overboard

542
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: one and done. Just you know the owner, Okay, you

543
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: you know that guy. They need star power in Vegas.

544
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: You just moved the franchise there. They got Gruden, Rob

545
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure you would agree they got Cruden as a

546
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: coach because they wanted star wattage in Vegas. Gruden was

547
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: in the booth for like fifteen years? Wasn't he ten

548
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,239
Speaker 1: in years? At least? Monday and football. He came out

549
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: because they needed he was the face of the franchise.

550
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: Who is it now, car, I don't know. He's he's

551
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: been terrible. This is gonna be really really fascinating stuff.

552
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: All right. I want to I just I need to

553
00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 1: cover the Seattle Seahawks stuff quickly, just to get out

554
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: of the way. Too many Seahawks are I feel like

555
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: they're banging on my door. They're really banging on my

556
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 1: social media door. Um. The Seahawks are now six and three,

557
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: and I, like an idiot, went on the Herd before

558
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: the season and said they're one of the worst teams

559
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,719
Speaker 1: in the league. If they finished over five dred, I'll

560
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: shaved the Seahawks logo in the side of my head.

561
00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: And of course, you know some outlets wrote about it.

562
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: I think, and uh, next thing, you know, Seattle six

563
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: and three and they look like a good team. Rob

564
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: like Gino Smith. There was a moment against Arizona where

565
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: Gino Smith tossed a really dumb pick six like rookie

566
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: league ship and Zaven Collins I think picked it off,

567
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: ran it back fourteen ten. I'm like in my head

568
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: and watching this is this is the moment Gino turns

569
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: into a pumpkin. Arizona is gonna run. Arizona's got this.

570
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: How does Gino respond? Thir team plays seventy five yards

571
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: touchdown Seattle League. It's like, oh my gosh, this guy's

572
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: a veteran. Later in the game, Arizona close to a

573
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: top third and seven no receivers open Gino Tucket and

574
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 1: run for eighteen yards. And at that point, you know,

575
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: I stopped. I just I threw in the towel. I'm

576
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: like bad read j They beat Arizona and they were

577
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: on top the division, and now they go to Germany

578
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: to face Tom Brady and I don't know how many

579
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: weeks in a row I can bet against Seattle and

580
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: and continue to lose money because this is a damn

581
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: good team. Kenneth Walker carrying my son's fantasy team on

582
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: his back. DK Metcalf is not human, but Gino Smith like,

583
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to put him in VP category yet,

584
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: but he has been I mean, outside of the Jets

585
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: and Giants, I don't know that there's a better story

586
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 1: in the league than than what he's done over half

587
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 1: a season. Now, it is only half a season, and

588
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: it has been helped greatly by the ineptitude of the

589
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams. I mean, I don't know if you

590
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: guys saw Sean McVeigh almost a wire to wire win

591
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: against the Bucks. They led for I believe fifty nine

592
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: minutes and forty three seconds. I think that might be it. Okay,

593
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: or they were lead or or they were tired. I

594
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: guess they were tired or at the opening kickoff or whatever.

595
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: You know, got that this is staggering. The Rams had

596
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: three drives with thirty or more yards, just three. They

597
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: had five drives with negative yards. They went three and

598
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: out eight times. The Rams offense, which back in the

599
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: day with Isaac Brewton Tory Holt, was the greatest show

600
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 1: on turf and the Rams last year were electrifying. A

601
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: few years back with Jared Goff, they were scoring like

602
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: forty five points, not forty five points a game, like

603
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: thirty points a game. And they had that fifty four

604
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: forty five game against the Chiefs. Was it What was

605
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 1: the score? Rob, Do you remember that? Oh? It was

606
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: a billion one? Yes, And it was like, oh, these

607
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: these these teams on turf and quarterbacks. That was with Goff,

608
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: and I think it was Goff and Girly Um it was.

609
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: The Rams have been offensively minded under McVeigh, just exciting, dynamic.

610
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: Their offense is atrocious. It's like if you had to

611
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: tell me, if you asked who has the worst offense,

612
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: the Rams or the Packers, I don't know. I honestly

613
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 1: have no clue because both can't do a damn thing.

614
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: And this is the Rams defense was good, and eventually

615
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey gonna pop off and be pissed or Aaron

616
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: Donald's gonna mouth off. And I don't know who they

617
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 1: blame because you can't really blame Stafford. The line is

618
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: just terrible. Tampa had ten yards in the third quarter.

619
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: That's it. So I'm driving. I gotta after my son's tournament,

620
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: I come home and watching games. Then I gotta go

621
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: pick up my daughter from gymnastics. And there's only two games.

622
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: So I'm watching Red Zone in the car, you know,

623
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: I have it on the the speakers, and it's like, okay, Rams,

624
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: sounds like they got this. They hold on fourth down

625
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: at um at the gold line with like what like

626
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: two minutes left, So I'm like, all right, they held

627
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: pick up my daughter. You know, I'm not gonna listen

628
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: to NFL game with my daughter in the car and

629
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 1: her friend. So you know, I'm radio station and then

630
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: my phone rings and I see it's Cowherd, so I

631
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: answer it and he instantly he's like, man, I don't

632
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 1: know what just happened in the Rams. I'm like, what

633
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: do you mean they held on fourth down? He's like, no,

634
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: they got the ball. They get the ball back to

635
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: Brady and he just went down and scored. I was like,

636
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: what I mean, this happened in like a ten minutes

637
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: span maybe less, and I'm just I'm at a red light.

638
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm like, did this really just happen? The Rams blew

639
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: that game? The Rams snatched victory from the Jaws and

640
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: lost the game. And now I don't even know what

641
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 1: McVeigh could say at this point, and they did nothing

642
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: at the deadline, and rob My speculation was deep down

643
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: McVeigh a McVeigh and the coach. No, there's no band

644
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 1: aid to put on this gaping wound. It's like, I

645
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 1: don't think they would ever admit that. And they can

646
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: say publicly, oh, we tried to get who was the

647
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 1: receiver they tried to get? Was it d J. Moore?

648
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: There was a report they were after some receiver. Folks,

649
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: the Rams are three and five. And it's not just

650
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: three and five, it's minus forty two point differential. That

651
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:59,360
Speaker 1: is second worst, I'm sorry, third worst in the NFC.

652
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 1: The worst is Panthers, the second worst of the Lions.

653
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: The third worst is the Rams. Now I did a

654
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: little bit of a feather in the cap because you know,

655
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,840
Speaker 1: I don't pat myself on the back enough, So I've

656
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 1: got to mention this. Before the season, I hosted the Herd.

657
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:16,760
Speaker 1: It was radio only, I think it was a Monday

658
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: or something like that, and I said, you know this

659
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: Rams team, man, you look at the schedule. The offensive

660
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: line questions, there's a scenario where they missed the playoffs,

661
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: and so we do like the pre show call, and

662
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: I tell the producer, Rob knows him Ryan Music, who

663
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: I had as a producer on my radio show way

664
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,399
Speaker 1: back in the day. I tell him, guys, I think

665
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: I think our two we can open with I think

666
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: the Rams might missed the playoffs. And he's like, dude,

667
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:46,359
Speaker 1: you're joking. I'm like, no, you need to look at

668
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 1: this schedule, dude. Look at the schedule. The Vikings are

669
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: on the come up, the Eagles are on the come up.

670
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,320
Speaker 1: I even mentioned the Giants. There is a legitimate scenario

671
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 1: where the Rams missed the playoffs. I think there were

672
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: in some trouble and the Super Bowl hangover, which nobody

673
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: likes to admit it. Super Bowl hangover, that's just so cliche. No, no, no,

674
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 1: there's something there. It's unquantifiable that that doesn't mean that

675
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 1: there's nothing there. Teams that go to the Super Bowl

676
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 1: they lose often there is just something like we already

677
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: won the championship. You know, they're the hunger, the desires

678
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 1: not there. It just isn't. And I know people can

679
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: scoff at that. Fine, that's that's fine. This isn't Andy

680
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: Reid and Patrick Mahomes, who, by the way, how many

681
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: Super Bowls have they won? Rob one mhm. It's really

682
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: hard to repeat the last repeat super Bowl champ was

683
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 1: I think Brady like fifteen years maybe twenty years ago.

684
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: Now it's like seventeen years ago. It's it's so difficult,

685
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: and the Rams folks are in deep trouble now. I

686
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: Packers we talked about Rams like there's a lot of

687
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:54,879
Speaker 1: weirdness happening in the NFL, and and frankly, I it's

688
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 1: tough to pinpoint, Like if you if you closed your eyes,

689
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: think back for a second, and before a week one started,

690
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 1: I said, at the midway point, the three top teams

691
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 1: in the NFC would be the Eagles, Vikings, and Seahawks. Like,

692
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: what would your reaction have been, Dude, just said that.

693
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: You would have laughed, legitimately laughed, and then and then, oh,

694
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: by the way, the Giants and the Cowboys are next.

695
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: Nobody would have believed you. That's how insane this league is.

696
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: That's why we love it. It's so difficult to beat

697
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 1: on the gambling front. And you know a f C

698
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: has had a little more um normal normalcy Chief six

699
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: and two, Bill six and two, But nobody had the

700
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 1: Jets at six and three. Nobody had them. Fox Sports

705
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about the Tennessee Georgia game.

706
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: In college football. We'll say NBA for later the week.

707
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: I am curious. Usually every Monday I will get at

708
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: least a few messages on Instagram or Twitter, Hey, you

709
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: didn't talk about X. Have we left anyone out this weekend?

710
00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: I know Rob doesn't like it when we cover like

711
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: multiple topics. He wants to drill down on one or two. Um,

712
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 1: did I miss anyone? Rob? Do I need to send

713
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 1: like bouquets of flowers to Chargers fans? We're gonna be like, dude,

714
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: you didn't talk about Austin Neckler's Monster game? Who have

715
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: I missed? I feel like we know at least just

716
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:40,719
Speaker 1: give the flowers. Raise a glass to Joe Mixon and

717
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 1: then Cincinnati Banker, who single handily wand of the fantasy

718
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: leagues that he was on that team five touches. Other

719
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: than that, you don't got to say much. But yeah,

720
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: I don't have and I wasn't facing him. This is

721
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: the tough part of fantasy and nobody will care. So

722
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: my son in one league has Pat Shock Mahomes, big

723
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 1: start for Mahomes, the other guys somehow forgot to start

724
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: a quarterback, and my son will get the victory. Okay,

725
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: Mahomes thirty one points. But in another league, my son's

726
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: going against Patrick Mahomes and in that league, Mahomes had

727
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: thirty eight points. Kind of It's just it stinks going

728
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 1: head to head, and I don't know nobody cares about

729
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: your fantasy team. But by the way, if you notice

730
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: I've started to talk more fantasy on the Herd because

731
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: I know Coward hates when I do it, so I

732
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: obviously bring it up. But um so, yeah, my son's

733
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: down fourteen. He has Kenyan Drake tonight for the Saints.

734
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I feel comfortable doing a

735
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: best bet on on raven Saints because the injury report

736
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: is remains brutal for the Saints. Baltimore sounds like no

737
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews or Gust Gust the bus. So Drake should

738
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: be in line for a big game. Um we already

739
00:39:50,960 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 1: know Bateman's out. I think if you said, Jay, I

740
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: have you know two hundred fifty bucks left from from

741
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: the weekends when he what do I roll it on?

742
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: I would say Saints money line games in New Orleans. Now.

743
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: The problem is Andy Dalton has lost seven straight primetime games.

744
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: And I know that some people listening will say do that.

745
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: That means nothing. That's a trend. Okay, you are aware

746
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: of the Kirk Cousins trend on is it Monday night

747
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: or Sunday Night Football, one of those two where he

748
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 1: just performs awful every single time. Maybe it's the opponent,

749
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: maybe it's a body clock and starting a night Let's

750
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: say Tom Brady has had his major problems in night games,

751
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: and again these are you could toss them out as irrelevant.

752
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,800
Speaker 1: But for whatever reason, when the lights shine Bright Island

753
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 1: games Andy Dalton and his red hair, they turn into

754
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 1: a pumpkin. So there is some skepticism there. Maybe Lamarisco

755
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 1: runs wild, but I would probably take the Saints money

756
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: line tonight. I will not be betting it personally because, um,

757
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: I have a couple of fantasy implications that you don't

758
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 1: care about. Um So Rob Overall, we're at the midway point.

759
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: Next week we have the matchup everybody was looking forward to.

760
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: First play Bucks, first place Seahawks from Germany. I think

761
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:08,120
Speaker 1: Munich is it? Yes, I've never been to. Why would

762
00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:10,760
Speaker 1: they have a game in Germany and November? Why would't

763
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: they do it in October for October Fest? Who? Um,

764
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's dumb as the NBA, but

765
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: um yeah, you know I want to talk in this

766
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:28,359
Speaker 1: Kyrie Irving still I know for me though, is yeah, yeah,

767
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: you can. But Rob is like, Um, you know when

768
00:41:30,360 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: you're on stage at the Oscars and you have like

769
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 1: this awesome speech and then they start playing the music

770
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: to play like wrap it up, RAPHI. Um, That's what

771
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,479
Speaker 1: Rob's feeling like when I'm trying to crow bar NBA

772
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,439
Speaker 1: because I this Kyrie stuff is bananas. I will not

773
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: under any circumstances to be talking about politics and stupid

774
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,680
Speaker 1: election week. You know, on Election Week, Rob, they should

775
00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: try to have an NFL game the next day so nobody.

776
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 1: It's so like the window of time for talking about

777
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: politics is like twenty four hours and then that it

778
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: because this is gonna be this is gonna get ugly

779
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,959
Speaker 1: this week. As such, I'm gonna tease a monster guest

780
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: we have for probably Wednesday's podcast. Um, Rob, what is

781
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 1: your Monday night football bet? I know you're taking. You

782
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 1: said if you had to bet, you put Saints on

783
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: the money line. I am going to bet and I'm

784
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 1: gonna take under the total shout out to our guy

785
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: Billy crack Bill Crackenburger, who said, look, you don't have

786
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: to always bet sides in this case. Every to your point,

787
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: everybody's banged up. The injury list is longer than well,

788
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: it's pretty long, have you, and so I'm taking the end.

789
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm taking the under there under and a half. So

790
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 1: Ravens are favored by one. So Saint's money line plus

791
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 1: one oh five. Um, not terrible. It's just a quick

792
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:57,640
Speaker 1: quick peek at Week ten. I know I said I

793
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:59,920
Speaker 1: should stop Bett against the Seattle Seahawks, But how is

794
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:04,400
Speaker 1: Tom Brady only favored by one over Gino Smith? Oh

795
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 1: my gosh, I don't. I don't have time to get

796
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: into it with you, but you would see Tom Brady

797
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: play this season. I saw the game winning drive. It

798
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 1: looked pretty dark. Good there. I surprised you through the

799
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: Scotty Miller after Scotty dropped that touchdown. Balls they drive

800
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: before um, Tampa Bay's defense, I think I think it

801
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:28,239
Speaker 1: travels to Germany. UM. I. My problem with the Seahawks

802
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,319
Speaker 1: is I have the priors in my head of well,

803
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: they weren't great last year when Russ went down their

804
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:37,439
Speaker 1: preseason expectations. I think they were five and a half

805
00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: wins or six or whatever it was. They're not good.

806
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: I've got like six years of Gino Smith. I've watched him.

807
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: He's not good. So now all of this is upsetting

808
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 1: the apple cart, and it's thrown me off. In reality,

809
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: I would probably I don't know about the Giants links

810
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: six and a half. All right, we've got plenty of

811
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 1: time to get to week ten. Um. I don't see

812
00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 1: a Jets, so the Jets are on a by. That's right.

813
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 1: Damn well, I can't talk about Jets this week, fudge. Alright, guys,

814
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: that's a long, long Monday podcast is an up and

815
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: down weekend. Um. I think we'll do this again tomorrow,

816
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:12,560
