1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: You're spotted kicked and it is no good, not even close. 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:06,880 Speaker 2: It's not even close. 3 00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:10,480 Speaker 1: It barely reaches the end zone, and the game was 4 00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: over and the Philadelphia Eagles have a skaped with a 5 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: ten to seven win. 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,959 Speaker 2: Oh what a fitting end to a bizarre night. The 7 00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:25,760 Speaker 2: second time in Week ten that Nick shook an eye. 8 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 2: We'll discuss a ten to seven primetime finale. This one 9 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: meant a little more than Broncos Raiders. Yes, Merril reeson 10 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:38,199 Speaker 2: Mike Quick on WIP sounded like, you know, they were 11 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 2: disappointed by how bad that kick was, but the Eagles win. 12 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 2: Those were the Eagles announcers talking about a missed Brandon 13 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 2: McManus kick to end this game from sixty four yards out. 14 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 2: The Eagles are seven and two, and Nick, if we 15 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: thought they won ugly early in the season, this was 16 00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 2: next level. But this game was a journey, and that 17 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 2: somehow felt like the perfect ending to this journey. 18 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 3: You know, we got the halftime and it was zero zero. 19 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 3: It struck me we shouldn't be surprised by this at all. 20 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 3: These are the two teams that have the toughest time 21 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 3: with figuring out a rhythm finding one. The Packers notoriously 22 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 3: starting slow. The Eagles can't play a full game, haven't 23 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 3: really done it offensively all year. Of course this is 24 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 3: how it was gonna go, and of course it was 25 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 3: gonna end up ten to seven. And I think that 26 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 3: I could explain Meryl Reese's I don't know, dissatisfaction or 27 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 3: lack of excitement there the fact that why did we 28 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 3: even have to go through this these last few snaps? 29 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 3: Because Nick Sirianni's decision on fourth down when they were 30 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 3: trying to put the game away. 31 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 2: Okay, you're right, we got to start there. And that's 32 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: why Shooky is the best, because you know, part of 33 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 2: me wants to give credit. This Eagles defense looks different 34 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: now you add Nolan Smith, and you add Jalen Phillips, 35 00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: and you add n Kobe Dean as a big time factor. 36 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: And they looked at We'll give them all the credit 37 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 2: for that. But what was Nick Sirianni doing there? Break 38 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 2: it down for us when he decides to go for 39 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 2: it on fourth and six late in the game. What 40 00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: did you think about that decision? And give give the 41 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 2: listeners some context to that. 42 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, so you know the Packers have two timeouts left, 43 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 3: all the Eagles need to do is get a first down. 44 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 4: They don't get the first down. 45 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 3: They successfully run the clock down far enough to where 46 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 3: I believe there was twenty six seconds left on fourth 47 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 3: and six. They come out of the huddle, they line 48 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 3: up as if they're going to run a play, and 49 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 3: you could even hear you know, Joe Buck and Troy 50 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: Aikman saying, I can't imagine they would run a play here. 51 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 4: Everybody expects that they're just going to. 52 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 3: Try and draw them off sides. No, they call a 53 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 3: time out because it ends up being a Kodak moment 54 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: for them. They're trying to get a snapshot of what 55 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 3: the defense is doing because apparently they intend to run 56 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: a play, which they do, and I don't know if 57 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 3: it's an ego decision or what, but Nick sirianni yehs 58 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 3: up a fade to AJ Brown, which does not work, 59 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 3: and suddenly the Packers had the ball at their own 60 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 3: thirty five with just enough time to try to get 61 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 3: into field goal range. Just one of those classic two 62 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 3: young coaches who've experienced lot of success. I'm going to 63 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 3: try to be the tough guy in this situation when 64 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: I don't need to be. 65 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out to the fans in the UK that 66 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 2: we're hearing from in the chat. We love everyone that 67 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 2: joins us on YouTube Live every Monday night. They're up 68 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 2: at four thirty in the morning. They only got to 69 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,639 Speaker 2: see one touchdown, but it was exciting that the call 70 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 2: was crazy though, because all night long Nick Sirianni was 71 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:27,119 Speaker 2: calling third and long runs bo Wolf. You know he's 72 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,519 Speaker 2: been talking about on the All Phy podcasts all season. 73 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: He actually has measured it. He calls it the Cowards run, 74 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: and it's a run on third and twelve plus and 75 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: right now the Eagles are in the mix for the 76 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: highest percentages of runs on those play in the history 77 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 2: of football. They refuse to try on third and long 78 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 2: and yet in that spot fourth and sixth and I 79 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: just checked it. It was thirty three seconds left to 80 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 2: start that play. I do think it was about ego 81 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: and it does remind me of the beginning of last 82 00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: season when Nick Sirianni couldn't get it out of his 83 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 2: own way, and a win or a loss, he was 84 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 2: always the story, just like it was a Nick Sirianni 85 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: be normal for one week challenge and he's back to 86 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: failing that challenge and I think you called it right there, Nick. 87 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: I think he wanted to have a moment. You know, 88 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 2: AJ Brown basically didn't get a target all night after 89 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: the first quarter, and he knew they were gonna have 90 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 2: one on one coverage and that has been a successful 91 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 2: play for them down the field, but not tonight when 92 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: it's cold, and you know, a J. Brown wasn't in 93 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: the mix and he was not open on that play, 94 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 2: and it was just a hope ball. And it was 95 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: insane because the Packers, even though they had no timeouts, 96 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,840 Speaker 2: had twenty seven seconds to work with and if they 97 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 2: didn't mess up this screen pass where it looked like 98 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 2: Josh Jacobs had all the room in the world and 99 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: kind of had a strange, you know, path to him 100 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 2: getting out in the formation, like they could have had 101 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 2: plenty of time, and it's all we would have been 102 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: talking about, Nick Sirianni when we should be talking about 103 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 2: his defense. Just just a strange man, Nick, And I 104 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,479 Speaker 2: blame him, by the way, for all those third and 105 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 2: twelve plus runs. All the Eagles fans, in my mentions, 106 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 2: were like, no, Kevin Patula's the play caller. Okay, They've 107 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 2: been doing that since the day. Nick Sirianni got there, 108 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 2: So it doesn't matter who the play caller is, they're 109 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: doing it either way. 110 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 4: Yeah. 111 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 3: They also did it on first and twenty five tonight, 112 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 3: a classic draw, and ended up clawing their way back 113 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 3: to third and eleven. So it's not the only time 114 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 3: they'll do it. 115 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 2: And then okay, so that's typical this game. And you 116 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 2: mentioned how it's scoreless at halftime. One of the I 117 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 2: believe ten Monday night football games ever to be scoreless 118 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 2: at half time. That was, according to Josh Dubou from. 119 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 3: The two thousand and nine game was Brown's Ravens at 120 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 3: what is now bank Field Steelers. 121 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: Rather, yes, that when with the with the crazy punt 122 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: that just sticks in the. 123 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 3: Middle too, Yes, yes, stuck in Heinz Field's turf, yes, 124 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 3: formerly known as Heines Field. 125 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 2: And the turf kind of was a problem tonight too. 126 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 2: It always is that ltonbo Field. Everyone's slipping around. It 127 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: doesn't make for great football sometimes when it's cold or 128 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: if it's a little wet, which it was tonight. And 129 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 2: the thing that strikes me about the fourth quarter where 130 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: they finally started scoring, and we'll get to like how 131 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 2: that all happen is Nick Sirianni because he needed to 132 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: actually let Jalen Hurts throw a third and long in 133 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,799 Speaker 2: the fourth quarter because it was like, oh, we actually 134 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: have to score some points to maybe win this game. 135 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,239 Speaker 2: You know what happens, he hits DeVante Smith for a catch. 136 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: And then the very next drive, after the Packers fall 137 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 2: down ten nothing, the Packers stopped trying to establish the 138 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: run for once all night, and they go very past 139 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 2: heavy and you know what happens, The Packers finally score 140 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 2: a touchdown. This is what we talked about earlier this week, 141 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 2: like Matt Lafleur is just all about this running game 142 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 2: instead of letting Jordan Love kind of run the show 143 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 2: for this Packers team. 144 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna try to take away credit here, but 145 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 3: I think that some context is important on that drive 146 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 3: because there was one a key pass interference that gained 147 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 3: them a big chunk of yards and to the Eagles 148 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 3: of the ten nothing lead. The fourth quarter, we're playing 149 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 3: much softer zone and giving up things underneath, so suddenly 150 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 3: passing game was going to open up. 151 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 4: Because if you compare the previous defensive. 152 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 3: Situation versus that one when they were only up three 153 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 3: to nothing, they were playing much tighter coverage, trying to 154 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 3: force you know, a stop and force a pun or 155 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 3: a turnover on downs, and then they backed off once 156 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 3: they realized, all right, we have a little bit of 157 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 3: cushion to work with. 158 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 4: We're gonna give them some cushions. 159 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 3: So I think that's also what helped open it up. 160 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 3: I don't even really have a problem with them trying 161 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 3: to establish the run. 162 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 4: It's just that. 163 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 3: You don't get Jordan Love into a rhythm, and against 164 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 3: a team that looked so good in the pass rush 165 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 3: tonight with the Eagles defense, a team that lacked pass 166 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 3: rush many times this season. One key addition at the 167 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: trade deadline the continued development of Jalx Hunt. It suddenly, 168 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 3: you know, Love never really got comfortable. So it's kind 169 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 3: of a double edged sword with this offense right. 170 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: Now, Okay, that's fair. In the design success rate for 171 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: both teams was very low all night. They were in 172 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 2: the low thirties, so that that was part of it, 173 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: and they were just missing a lot of passing plays. 174 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: A question from the commenters. 175 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 4: Did this this is very loaded? 176 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 2: Yes? Odds go down tonight like the Broncos did on Thursday. 177 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 2: It strikes me that could be from a Broncos fan, 178 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 2: I'm going to say no, because the Eagles have proven 179 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: to us, even though I'm starting to have my doubts 180 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: this season about this offense, that if they can just 181 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 2: get to the dance, the talent can overwhelm the opposition 182 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 2: and they can figure it out. They have the backing 183 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 2: of Super Bowl champs, whereas the Broncos. To me, this 184 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 2: has been a terrible offense for the most part and. 185 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 3: The app Yeah, let's also consider the opponent they played, 186 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 3: a Raiders defense couldn't stop a nosebleed. 187 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 4: This time. They know the Eagles are playing the Packers. 188 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 4: That also matters. 189 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 2: That matters quite a bit. And I was thinking watching 190 00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: this game though, that whichever team loses, the fan base 191 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 2: is going to be furious. And I think Packers fans 192 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 2: are furious right now after a second straight loss at Lambeau. 193 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 2: But I have a feeling like Eagles fans aren't going 194 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: to be that happy either. And I was thinking watching 195 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 2: this game, and I don't want to be a prisoner 196 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 2: of the moment. Man, those teams in the NFC West, 197 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 2: they do seem more complete right now than the Eagles 198 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 2: or the Packers. We have a long way to go, 199 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 2: and the Packers have the difficult task of having to 200 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 2: win this division, the NFC North, where the Eagles kind 201 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 2: of know they're going to win their division, and after 202 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 2: next week's game against the Lions really looking forward to that. 203 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: They have a pretty soft schedule down the stretch, so 204 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 2: that's an advantage for the Eagles. And ultimately, I'm not shocked. 205 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 2: Were you shocked that the Eagles won this game? Because 206 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 2: when this got weird and ugly, and even when it 207 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 2: was zero zero, I was like, now, the Eagles are 208 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 2: going to win this just because it's kind of what 209 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 2: they do in the end, even though it's not great, 210 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 2: Like they've proven to us that they can win these 211 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 2: types of games, and they did it tonight with some 212 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 2: really great defense. 213 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 3: There's there's probably two or three reasons why I thought 214 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 3: that the Eagles were going to win this game when 215 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 3: it was three to nothing. Okay, Number one, the Packers 216 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 3: couldn't stop making the small mistakes, whether it's an illegal 217 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 3: formation penalty that wipes out a big gain in the 218 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,679 Speaker 3: fourth quarter, or them trying to down a punt at 219 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 3: the one yard line but they step on the goal 220 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 3: line and it results in a touch back. There's no 221 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 3: number of drops. Jordan loved, you know, putting a couple 222 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 3: of really nice on target passes that get dropped. They 223 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 3: just they couldn't get the little things right. And that's 224 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 3: kind of been indicative of who the Packers have been 225 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 3: all season. Just look at that Panthers loss for an example. 226 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 3: It's also because the Eagles defense, which I know we're 227 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 3: going to dive further into, they just looked a lot 228 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 3: better tonight than they have proportions of this season. 229 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 4: And it's the pedigree. 230 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 3: It's the fact that you have Saquon Barkley back there 231 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 3: and all you have to do is get him the 232 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 3: ball in space once or twice where he has to 233 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 3: make one man miss and they can completely flip your 234 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 3: offensive momentum, which is exactly what happened on their loan 235 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 3: touchdown drive tonight. So it felt like that was inevitable, 236 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 3: even though the game was pretty ugly. 237 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 2: Okay, let's make it time for who's delivered by Uber 238 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: Eats and let's talk about that touchdown drive. It's three 239 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,679 Speaker 2: to nothing in the fourth quarter, and yes, it's a 240 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 2: two place sequence starting with a Saquon Barkley spin move. 241 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: And yeah, if you're watching on YouTube, you'll be able 242 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 2: to see at this point it's a third and seven. 243 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,320 Speaker 2: Another time, Hey, let's get to throw the ball on 244 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 2: third and long. Occasionally Saquan looked like he could get 245 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 2: tackled in the open field. Instead he puts the spin 246 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 2: move on. He goes down the field, And it does 247 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: remind you that sometimes just their talent ultimately overwhelms the opposition, 248 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 2: even if the coaching is even. And the Packers without 249 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 2: Tucker Craft, without Jayden Reid, and with Josh Jacobs not 250 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 2: being as explosive, maybe don't have those type of playmakers. 251 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 2: So the very next play we got the first touchdown 252 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 2: of the night. 253 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: On Datson emotion hurts, thanks, looks steps up, he has 254 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 1: flood of the football is Tate Smith got it. 255 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,440 Speaker 2: He took out a w from the defender. He took 256 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: it out of the hands of the Williams. The fun 257 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 2: Tay Smith from Jay Love hurt. Oh, that's a great 258 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 2: call there by Merrill Reese. And like DeVante Smith with 259 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 2: the ball in the air is one of the best 260 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,959 Speaker 2: wide receivers in football. It's just he's so strong. It 261 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 2: kind of defies logic. It does and and and I 262 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: can't be the first person to think this year, man 263 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 2: like DeVante Smith has been as valuable to this team, 264 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 2: if not more so than than A. J. Brown has been. 265 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 2: He has really been excellent this year, even if the 266 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 2: numbers don't look that different than his normal seasons. 267 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, when you're examining the two off a physical profile alone, 268 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 3: you think I'm throwing my jump balls to AJ Brown. 269 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,199 Speaker 3: But that's what makes DeVonta Smith special is that he 270 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 3: is this very you know, slender, skinny guy. He's slight 271 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 3: in frame, but he plays much bigger than that, and 272 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 3: it's been his reputation throughout his career with the Eagles, 273 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 3: and tonight it was a huge reason why they were 274 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:41,839 Speaker 3: able to even put ten points on the board, you 275 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 3: know that completing a long pass on third down. Like 276 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 3: you said to Smith later in the Gameless Key, that 277 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 3: toss there. I mean, look, Evan Williams had a really 278 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 3: good game tonight. That safety, he was all over the field. 279 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 3: That was probably the one low light of his game, 280 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 3: and it's because he was facing a guy as specially 281 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 3: as DeVonta Smith. 282 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 4: Simple as that. 283 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, DeVante Smith finishes with four catches for sixty nine yards, 284 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 2: which in this game is a huge total. Neither team 285 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 2: topped three hundred yards, and yeah, aj Brown ends up 286 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 2: getting thirteen yards on three targets, only one in completion. 287 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 2: A question for me, am I still a Shadow Eagles fan? 288 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 2: I would say yes, but I just haven't been loyal. 289 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 2: I've picked against them too many times in big spots, 290 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 2: including tonight. So I feel like a dope for trusting 291 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 2: the Packers thinking that, like, here's the thing that no 292 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 2: one expects they're gonna do is win this game after 293 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 2: losing to the Panthers, and just too many times they've 294 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 2: been frustrating. Whereas in the end, like I do appreciate 295 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: that Jalen Hurts makes good decisions, Like I really do 296 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 2: think there is something to it. Even if he's very careful, 297 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: he tends to do exactly enough. And yeah, that was 298 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 2: a huge drive and he did make a few more 299 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 2: good plays the rest of the game. That was who 300 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 2: Delivered presented by Uber Eats. When football makes you hungry, 301 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 2: get game day meals on Uber Eats, the official on 302 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 2: demand delivery partner of the NFL. Order. Now, I probably 303 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 2: should have given it to Jalen Phillips. Let's talk about 304 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 2: Jalen Phillips' night. It almost feels, you know, a little braggy. 305 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 2: Just say it with me, shook, how how he did it? 306 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 2: Did it again? See we did it? Good job. It's 307 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 2: almost feels a little showy. It's like, oh, I'm Howie Roseman. 308 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 2: I'm gonna make a trade for like a third round pick, 309 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 2: and then that guy's going to show up a few 310 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 2: days later in primetime and basically win us the game. 311 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 2: Tell me about Jalen Phillips this night. 312 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, first off, the trade made perfect sense. 313 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 3: They lacked, you know, ed rushing talent. They lacked a 314 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 3: difference maker since they had all these departures in the 315 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 3: off season, Josh Wett being one of them, you can 316 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 3: go back two years, hasan raddick, right, and it was 317 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 3: the biggest weakness on their defense and perhaps on their 318 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 3: entire team, say for when their offense struggled. Right, So 319 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 3: you go make that trade for Jalen Phillips on surface 320 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 3: a ton of sense, But then you don't really expect 321 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 3: a guy to have such an impact in his first 322 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 3: game with him his new team. He gets to halftime, 323 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 3: he has three pressures and he's already jumping off of 324 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 3: the screen to me, which is why I looked up 325 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 3: his pressures at halftime. He finishes with a total of seven. 326 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 3: He was he faced three double teams, he had one 327 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 3: quick pressure. He was all over the place there. He 328 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 3: didn't get a run stuff according to next Gen stats. 329 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 4: But I'll tell you what. 330 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 3: He shook off a block and made a key run 331 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,720 Speaker 3: stop of Josh Jacobs as if he was a human 332 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 3: brick wall. 333 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 4: He should that rundown so quickly. He was a massive 334 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:28,600 Speaker 4: difference maker. 335 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 3: He was in on the fumble that was caused late 336 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 3: in this game that essentially, you know, back the Packers 337 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 3: into a corner that the ultimately couldn't get out of. This. 338 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 3: If you can get this type of production, it opens 339 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 3: up everything up front, because, like I said, Jaylyx Hunt 340 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 3: continues to develop. He's had a nice little run of 341 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 3: games here going back to the Minnesota game. But if 342 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 3: you have Phillips in the opposite side, opens up everything 343 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 3: else for all those other guys in the defensive line, 344 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 3: and suddenly a group that you thought might be weak 345 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 3: improves because you have a better player at the top. 346 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 4: Of that list. 347 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, jalyox Hunt. Actually, you know played fewer snaps to 348 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 2: Night four already, three snaps to Jalen Phillips, who played 349 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 2: fifty three, and it felt like Nolan Smith was always 350 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 2: out there, but really they used him at the very 351 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 2: beginning of the game when they needed it, and at 352 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: the very end of the game when they needed it, 353 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 2: and he ended up with a sack and a quarterback hit. 354 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: And it just makes you realize watching tonight, Oh, this defense, 355 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 2: which to me was the bigger problem in the first 356 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 2: five or six weeks, even though the offense is getting 357 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 2: all the attention, is now I think safely moving into 358 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 2: being the bigger problem. It actually was the defensive decline 359 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 2: from league's best to eh when last year the offense 360 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 2: kind of wash in the regular season. Yeah, and so 361 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 2: that wasn't that different. And suddenly you're watching tonight and 362 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 2: Jaha geat Campbell's like playing a lot less now because 363 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: Nakobe Dean is out there almost every step and na 364 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 2: Kobe Dean had an awesome night tonight. He was super active. 365 00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 2: And you add Jalen Phillips a pif gave him an 366 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 2: even another pressure there. They give them eight and it's 367 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 2: very funny how they love these guys. Brandon Graham is 368 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 2: one of them. Eagles always think that guys that get 369 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 2: a lot of pressures but not a lot of sacks 370 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 2: are like undervalued. Brandon Graham was the poster boy for that. 371 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 2: And now they actually have Brandon Graham back, who did 372 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 2: get a hurry in one of his brief snaps tonight. 373 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 2: And they have Nolan Smith back who's been gone for 374 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 2: almost the entire season. Like it's a different defense than 375 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,160 Speaker 2: it was before. And you have Quinnon Mitchell out there 376 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 2: making huge plays. And I'm glad you mentioned the Jalen Phillips, 377 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: you know, help on that Reid Blanken ship force fumble 378 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 2: that comes in the fourth quarter, fourth and two. Tell 379 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 2: the listeners about that sequence because that's really the stop 380 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 2: of the game. I know we kind of end up 381 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 2: getting sidetracked by what happened, but ultimately Jordan Love gets 382 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 2: the ball like inside his own twenty with a chance 383 00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 2: over two minutes to go and drive the length of 384 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 2: the field and potentially just get a game tying field goal, 385 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 2: and it winds up sputtering out around midfield. 386 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, all the momentums in the Packer's favor when they 387 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 3: get the ball back, because they just went from being 388 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 3: down ten to nothing and having little hope to getting 389 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 3: a quick stop defensively and getting the ball back with 390 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 3: enough time to put together a drive as long as 391 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 3: they could throw the football, and Love comes out and 392 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 3: throws it well. He hits Christian Watson for like a 393 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 3: game of twenty five to start on third down there 394 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,159 Speaker 3: to continue that drive, and then suddenly their offense sputters 395 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 3: and they're still only at their own thirty five and 396 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,679 Speaker 3: then they hit Luke Muskrave for nine yards and it's like, oh, 397 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 3: it's so close to a first down and it comes 398 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 3: up short. And then there's that fourth and one, and 399 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 3: that's where the game again turns in the favor of 400 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 3: the Eagles. When they get the pressure, they're able to 401 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 3: kind of close all the gaps, force the fumble on 402 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 3: Josh Jacobs and the rest is history. 403 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was kind of typical of a night where 404 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 2: just everything Laflur was trying didn't work well. And there 405 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 2: was a funny shot early of him looking at the 406 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: surface tablet being frustrated and seeing like, oh, why didn't 407 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 2: Jordan Love, you know, see those open receivers. And it 408 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 2: did seem like early in the game Jordan Love was 409 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 2: giving up on plays a little too quickly. Maybe Jalen 410 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 2: hurts too. We have a question about, like is it 411 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 2: possible for the head coach to develop and improve it 412 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 2: game management. The Packers fans they love Map but they 413 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 2: hate to see him go, but his decision making in 414 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 2: these closed games is mind boggling. I do think Lafleur 415 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 2: is struggling at times with balancing game management and play calling, 416 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 2: and some of the plays tonight, like I don't kill 417 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,120 Speaker 2: him on they go for a fourth and long, which 418 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,159 Speaker 2: made Troy Aikman and Joe Buck go crazy, and Bo 419 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: Melton just drops it like it's like they have another play. 420 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 2: You mentioned the illegal formation that was very frustrating too. 421 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 2: They had three drives in Packers in Eagles territory before 422 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 2: the ending sequence that ended in zero points one where 423 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 2: Jordan Love's ends up taking it Jaylyox Hunt snap. But 424 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 2: I do think it's fair to point out like Lafleur 425 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 2: seems to lose the forest for the trees at times, 426 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 2: and he seems like as wound tight right now as 427 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,320 Speaker 2: he has ever been in his career. 428 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 3: I think that they they're not at like a crossroads 429 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 3: or a turning point necessarily, but there's some sort of 430 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just overall frustration because they haven't found 431 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 3: their offensive rhythm. I thought they had broken through in 432 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 3: that game against the Steelers. I thought, all right, here 433 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 3: they go, this is what they're gonna do. But since 434 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 3: losing Tucker Kraft, you know in that game, they've lost 435 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 3: the key that kind of unlocks their offense. 436 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 4: So he's again frustrated. 437 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 3: And I think there's also it's a bit of balancing 438 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 3: between how much does he trust Jordan Love, because like 439 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 3: on that drive right before halftime, Love gets hit and 440 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 3: it almost looks like he's trying to throw the ball 441 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 3: away in a situation which you should just eat the sack, 442 00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: just take the sack, and he fumbles the ball. The 443 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 3: Eagles recover, there goes an opportunity to put three points 444 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 3: on the board right before halftime. And I think that 445 00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 3: that is still a point of frustration for him. But 446 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 3: you can only control so much. You can dial up 447 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 3: the plays, you can scheme it up and everything, it 448 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 3: ultimately comes down to your quarterback to make plays. So 449 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 3: but I do agree anytime somebody's in a bad situation 450 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 3: with game management, like if that's a knock on their resume, 451 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 3: hire somebody put him in the booth with the book 452 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 3: in front of him that tells him exactly what to 453 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 3: do in every scenario, and radio, you know, get down 454 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 3: the headset and say, hey, you should call a time 455 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 3: out here, Hey, you should probably do this here. Hire somebody, 456 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 3: just make him a consultant and expert, just for that. 457 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 2: Alone comment here, Fangio owns all these little nerd boy coaches. 458 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 2: I don't I don't think that's fair, but it is 459 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 2: kind of funny. Let's actually listen to that Jordan Love 460 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,560 Speaker 2: fumble late in the first half, because man, we got 461 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 2: our producer Chris Bobona, looking for highlights, you know, watching 462 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 2: the whole first half. We didn't. We couldn't come up 463 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 2: with one until this, and it felt so symbolic of 464 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 2: what was happening in the first two quarters. 465 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: And we're going again. His loan put some man in 466 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: the motion. He's back, he's big, chased, he's big, grubbed. 467 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: He fumbles the I think the Eagles have it. Let's 468 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: see the Eagles sate they haven't. 469 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:04,919 Speaker 4: I think you're right. 470 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: Well, football was loose, it was knocked out of his hand. 471 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:13,440 Speaker 1: Let's see Eagles ball, Eagles ball. So what looked like 472 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: at least the three nothing Packers lead at halftime is 473 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: now in the hands of the Eagles. 474 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,240 Speaker 2: It's just these little moments with Jordan Love, and I 475 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,240 Speaker 2: have to admit the QB Island committee was texting each 476 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,200 Speaker 2: other tonight, and at least from me, I won't speak 477 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 2: for others. You know these maybe these are off the record. 478 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm like, you know, Jordan Love always 479 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 2: gives us reasons for why we shouldn't feel so bad 480 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 2: that he didn't make it onto QB Island last time, right, 481 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like two weeks ago, people 482 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 2: were talking about him. It's like, hey, look, he's number 483 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: one in EPA per play. He should be in the 484 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 2: MVP conversation. And I'm thinking, I don't know. I watched 485 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 2: I watched the games, and I know it's obviously been 486 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 2: a bad two weeks for him, but he always leaves 487 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 2: you wanting a little more. 488 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, when he tried out on the field to start 489 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 3: the game tonight and the graphic of his numbers, I 490 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 3: was like, Wow, that's way better than I thought that 491 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 3: would because I'm not a guy who's constantly checking the numbers. 492 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 3: I'm just relying on what I'm watching. And then I 493 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 3: thought it was gonna be nowhere near that because of 494 00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 3: exactly what you just said. It's just very up and down. 495 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 3: It's very fickle like he's there sometimes sometimes he's not, 496 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 3: just has not been. 497 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 4: Consistent this year. 498 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was thinking about it watching Lamar today when 499 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 2: I went back to watch that Minnesota game. And it's 500 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 2: unfair to compare almost any quarterback to Lamar, but I 501 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 2: was feeling like Lamar is really getting into his game 502 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,600 Speaker 2: manager kind of like Era, not that he needs to 503 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 2: all the time, but just doing everything that he needs to, 504 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 2: like to just win the game and kind of know 505 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,239 Speaker 2: the situation. I think he's better at that than ever. 506 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 2: I think that's a superpower for Jalen Hurts. He has 507 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 2: weaknesses for sure, but I think that's a strength for 508 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts. Although he's not great in the two minute 509 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: situation with the big part of that, To be fair, 510 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 2: Jordan loved, There's just there's just something that he's missing 511 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 2: right now. And I think he can put it together, 512 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 2: but right now it does feel like he was taking 513 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 2: a test tonight that he didn't study enough for. It 514 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 2: is tough though, this Eagle's defense, Like where do you 515 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,359 Speaker 2: even pick on Quinyon looked awesome tonight. Cooper Dejen's been 516 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 2: incredible all year. You have Blanket Chips showing up for 517 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,120 Speaker 2: that big play they you know, seeing Brandon Graham out 518 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 2: there on a key third down and he did the 519 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 2: Brandon Graham thing where his one hurry I know which 520 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 2: one it was tonight was on that second to last 521 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 2: drive and it was just you know, collapsing the pocket 522 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,359 Speaker 2: by just pushing his guy back about three yards is 523 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 2: nothing flashy, but it's enough to make the opposing quarterback, 524 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 2: Jordan Love in this case, feel uncomfortable. And they do 525 00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 2: have a lot of answers, and they do have a 526 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,440 Speaker 2: pretty favorable schedule. It is pretty tough, you know, to 527 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,919 Speaker 2: doubt the Eagles too much, even if I know Philadelphia 528 00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 2: Sports Radio will be after this game. 529 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, of course. 530 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 3: I mean that's what's a now a Tuesday morning, usually 531 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 3: a Monday morning in Philly, if you're not calling in 532 00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 3: and complaining about something that didn't go well in a 533 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 3: win for the the Eagles. But you know what struck 534 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 3: me tonight was the because of the addition of guys 535 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 3: like Jalen Phillips, how deep the Eagles defense suddenly seems 536 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 3: again with the return of Nolan Smith. Like Zach Bond, 537 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 3: all Pro linebacker has kind of been invisible for good 538 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 3: stretches of this season with this defense, and that's perfectly fine. 539 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 3: But that was a leading figure in your defense last year. 540 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 3: And what it has allowed Vic Fangio to do. I'm 541 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:26,120 Speaker 3: not gonna back up the hole he owns the nerd 542 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 3: coaches thing, but what it does allow him to do 543 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 3: is change up their pressure looks. There was a ton 544 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 3: of sim pressures. There was delayed blitzers that are adding 545 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 3: to the four men rush, making it a five catching 546 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 3: an offensive lineman off guard. But if you have the 547 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 3: capability of being able to drop guys that are usually 548 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 3: rushing back into coverage and creating simulated pressures for a 549 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 3: quarterback who might not trust his offensive line as much 550 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 3: because of those pressures, and also lost his center tonight, 551 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 3: which definitely impacted their ability to hold up in the 552 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 3: second half, then you can find success on that side 553 00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 3: of the ball. And that's why I believe in them 554 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 3: so much more than I maybe did a few weeks ago, 555 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 3: just because the defense seems like it's coming together just 556 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 3: right then. 557 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that about losing Elton Jenkins 558 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 2: in this game to injury, and that that was a 559 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 2: factor in terms of their offensive line. Now it was 560 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,959 Speaker 2: in the second half, but that's gonna be an important 561 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,639 Speaker 2: injury to watch. Lane Johnson also was carted to the 562 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 2: locker room after having an injury in the first half, 563 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,680 Speaker 2: and man, I thought that was like a multiple week 564 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 2: injury after I saw that, and he ended up coming back. 565 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 2: Question here, did we talk about the tush pushes and 566 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: penalties yet? No, I always try to avoid tush push stock, 567 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 2: but I'm glad it didn't end up being a huge 568 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 2: factor in this game. The game did start, however, with 569 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 2: both teams getting away with what appeared to be false 570 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 2: starts on in the Packers case like a QB sneak 571 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 2: and then the Eagles case flat out tush push. And 572 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,040 Speaker 2: then did the Eagles gate get away with another one 573 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 2: later in the game. I believe they they did the Yeah, yeah, 574 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 2: they actually called one on the Packers that that was 575 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 2: what I was talking about. I actually thought when it 576 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: was third and too late on one of those Eagles 577 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 2: drive that they were going to go back to back. 578 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 3: That's what I thought too, And they did a little 579 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 3: hand like the Saquon lined up as the up back. 580 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,360 Speaker 2: Like, Nick, you're trying to give people a moment. You're 581 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 2: trying to give people what you what they want. The 582 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 2: scriptwriters had it all set for you, like end that 583 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:22,120 Speaker 2: thing with the double touch, vindictive. This is what we want. Yeah, 584 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 2: we don't, we don't want. However, that game ended another 585 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 2: comment that someone saying the Packers will miss the playoffs 586 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 2: and the Eagles are a first round exit. Totally disagree 587 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 2: on both. You know what's interesting, I'm gonna look at 588 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 2: the NFC standings here for a second. The Eagles are 589 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 2: the number one seed in the NFC right now. It's 590 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 2: kind of funny because like it doesn't feel that way, 591 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 2: and they get to play the number three seed next 592 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 2: week on Sunday Night Football, the Lions, which is really exciting. 593 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 2: But now with these back to back losses and of 594 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 2: course those games they they gave up to the Panthers 595 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 2: into the Browns and the tie with the Cowboys, that 596 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 2: the Packers are down at the number seven seed and 597 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 2: they have a very challenging schedule the rest of the way. 598 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 2: They are just ahead of the forty nine ers at eight. 599 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 2: Now the NFC maybe is not quite as deep. It's 600 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 2: really good at the top, but it's not quite as deep. 601 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 2: So personally, I don't think that let's say the forty 602 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 2: nine ers, you do have a pretty easy schedule, or 603 00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:32,440 Speaker 2: the Panthers or the Vikings are going to pass the 604 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 2: Bears along with the I mean the Packers along with 605 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 2: the Bears, who are right now ahead of the Packers. 606 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 2: So in the end, I think the Packers are going 607 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 2: to be making the playoffs, and it wouldn't surprise me 608 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 2: if they still ended up winning this division. But at 609 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 2: this point you have to just trust the Lions more 610 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 2: that they're a tougher time, yeah, for sure, But I 611 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 2: do think this playoff picture is going to get complicated 612 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 2: and we may enter a postseason situation in which it 613 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 2: wouldn't be shocking if some wild card teams won on 614 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 2: the road. 615 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,880 Speaker 3: Because if you look at it right now, like you 616 00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 3: obviously have the Eagles gonna run away with the but 617 00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 3: the North is very undecided, The Buccaneers are going to 618 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 3: run away with the South. The West is very undecided, 619 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 3: and I think two of the best teams in the 620 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 3: NFC reside in the West. So then it comes down 621 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 3: to a process of elimination, which division gets three teams in. 622 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 3: Is that the North or is it the West? And 623 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 3: right now I can't because of where the Packers are 624 00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 3: on the way the Bears have been playing right now, 625 00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 3: it's a little bit difficult to determine. You consider all 626 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 3: the injuries that the Niners have dealt with as well. 627 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 3: Let's move to wild card weekend where Okay, let's say 628 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 3: the Eagles are the two seed and they're going to 629 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 3: end up facing the Packers or Bears as the seven seed. 630 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 2: Like, oh, let's not put the Bears in the playoffs. 631 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 4: But this is what I'm saying. I think we could 632 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 4: get some weird matchups that could produce upsets. 633 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 2: Okay, so let's go through the Packer schedule the rest 634 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 2: of the way. They're at the Giants in their first 635 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 2: game under new interim head coach Mike Kafka, and we 636 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 2: had a breaking news podcast with Ian Rappaport that's up 637 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 2: in the feed if you guys are interested. Then they 638 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 2: have the Vikings. They're at Detroit, Bears, at Denver, at 639 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 2: Chicago home for the Ravens, and at Minnesota. No real 640 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 2: cupcakes there after that Giants game, and yeah, you got 641 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 2: you got four division games against the Bears and Vikings alone, 642 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 2: and then you're going to Detroit too, So it's a lot. 643 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 2: It's a lot there for the Packers, and I love 644 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 2: that they're going to be in the middle of things. 645 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 2: I think to your point though, when I was thinking 646 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 2: about this today in the AFC, but it extends the 647 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 2: NFC too, Like the following teams are some combination of 648 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 2: the following teams like very well could be wild cards. 649 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 2: Let's say like Ravens, Chiefs, and Bills, Like two of 650 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 2: those three teams could be wild cards this year. And 651 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 2: then pick pick one of either the Rams or the Seahawks, 652 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 2: and pick one of either the Packers or the Lions. 653 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 2: They're going to be wild cards. So that's that's a 654 00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 2: lot of good teams. Yeah, we're potentially going to be 655 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:57,960 Speaker 2: playing on the road in the wildcard round and that 656 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 2: that makes uh, this stretch run even more exciting. What else? 657 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 2: What else do you want to hit in this game? 658 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 2: Before we say goodbye to Nick's show? 659 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 3: And you know, I already kind of exhausted my Evan 660 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 3: Williams edition, whose name I only remember because. 661 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:16,760 Speaker 4: It's also the name of a cheap whiskey. 662 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 3: I mean, this receiving Cordon Tavian Wicks made a handful 663 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 3: of nice plays for the Packers, but ultimately I think 664 00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,000 Speaker 3: that they should probably stop targeting bow Melton considering they 665 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 3: made him a corner and now he's suddenly playing again, So. 666 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 2: That really speaks to where they're at. Romeo Dobbs left 667 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,880 Speaker 2: this game with a chest injury. Now that wasn't until 668 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 2: I think late third early fourth quarter. He still had 669 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 2: forty one snaps tonight, but they desperately need Jayden read 670 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 2: back and Dantavian Wicks is playing a full compliment of snaps. 671 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,560 Speaker 2: I think he's an NFL receiver and I think he 672 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 2: has some upside. But you have Malie Keith out there 673 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 2: quite a bit, and you don't even have bo Melton 674 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,400 Speaker 2: list among the wide receivers on NGS because they think 675 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 2: he's a defensive back. But he played twenty four snaps 676 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,640 Speaker 2: on offense tonight, and yeah, that's it's not a good sign. 677 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 2: I don't know if they have the horses to score 678 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 2: a lot against an excellent defense, and the playoffs are 679 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:21,120 Speaker 2: about matchups, and I think they're going to really need 680 00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 2: to count on their defense to be carrying them. I 681 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 2: think it's possible. It's a pretty special defense, Like Michael 682 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 2: Parsons look great tonight, and we shouldn't look past how 683 00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:33,400 Speaker 2: good the Packers defense was tonight. To give them some 684 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 2: love actually before before we get. 685 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I agree. Edge Cooper had a phenomenal punch out. 686 00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 3: The year of outrageously precise peanut punches continues with another 687 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 3: big one in prime time. Yeah, they have a lot 688 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 3: of talent on that side. It's just a matter of 689 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 3: being a cohesive team. And I think that, you know, 690 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 3: we talked about power rankings earlier. I do lack confidence 691 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 3: in them right now, not to say they can't turn around, 692 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,520 Speaker 3: but because of what they've done offensively or the lack 693 00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 3: of what they've done offensively, I think it's going to 694 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 3: be a different challenge when they're gonna have to really 695 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 3: find themselves and establish a bit of a rhythm here. 696 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 4: In the last we now eight weeks of the season, there's. 697 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 2: Been different stress test moments of the Matt Lafleur era. 698 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,280 Speaker 2: So I don't want to talk like this is entirely unique, 699 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,160 Speaker 2: but I think with the expectations that they had this season, 700 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 2: and I think with Jordan Love being in year three 701 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 2: and the Parsons trade and every and just where his 702 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 2: tenure is at. It's one of the biggest tests for 703 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 2: them to come through and they have to really show 704 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 2: that Jordan Love is that dude. The Eagle schedule, by 705 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,040 Speaker 2: the way, the rest of the way after the Lions 706 00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 2: on Sunday night, you have at Dallas, home for Bears, 707 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 2: at the Chargers, home for Raiders, at Commanders, at Bills, 708 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 2: and home for the Commanders. Actually, I think that's like 709 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,120 Speaker 2: a perfect type of schedule. I always like that. If 710 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 2: it's my team, you want to have big time tests 711 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,280 Speaker 2: and you want to have some cupcakes, and they have 712 00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 2: a little bit of bold. Yeah, so you have something 713 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,200 Speaker 2: you can kind of just chalk up as wins. But 714 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,880 Speaker 2: they're also going to stay very sharp with games like 715 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,040 Speaker 2: that Bills game and certainly next Sunday. Now, yeah, we 716 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 2: will be talking about it like four shows from now. 717 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 2: It feels so far away that Sunday night football. 718 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we'll get there. I still have a 719 00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 3: few games to get through tonight, so we'll get there. 720 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 3: You know, in due time. 721 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,280 Speaker 2: You'll love Houston Jacksonville if if you haven't gotten. 722 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,880 Speaker 4: Oh to that, I'll love it. I watched it live baby. 723 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,520 Speaker 2: Like that's right. I totally forgot that. That was one 724 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 2: of my games of the year.
