Speaker 2: Right now, you just go back and forth as it
Speaker 2: Bill's Ravens and I think it's a week to week
Speaker 2: thing now, and we're spoiled by their recency bias. The
Speaker 2: Bills didn't look that impressive against the Patriots. The Ravens
Speaker 2: did look at impres agents Steelers this week.
Speaker 3: It's the Ravens.
Speaker 2: When the Bills were scoring forty eight to beat the
Speaker 2: Lions last week, I think it's like, oh, it's the Bills.
Speaker 3: You know. I like the Steelers too. The Steelers have
Speaker 3: lost two in a row and three out of five. Now.
Speaker 2: The good news is they get a chance to do
Speaker 2: it on Christmas and we'll see what the deal is.
Speaker 2: But I don't feel like the Steelers suddenly are playing
Speaker 2: their best football right now. The Bills beat the Chiefs
Speaker 2: this year. The Bills beat the Chiefs this year. This stubborn, weird,
Speaker 2: absolutely immovable Chiefs team that never loses and always finds
Speaker 2: a way. There was exactly one team they couldn't find
Speaker 2: a way against Buffalo Bills and Josh Allen, I gotta
Speaker 2: tell you, it makes me nervous I'm hearing now, let
Speaker 2: me get this straight, that his Josh Allen's non throwing
Speaker 2: hand has been broken all year. Okay, well, he's been
Speaker 2: playing great, that's fine, but now his throwing hand is
Speaker 2: also banged up. So we have two hand injuries. Well,
Speaker 2: he only has two hands. We need both of them.
Speaker 3: There's almost important hands in the league right now.
Speaker 2: I don't like that, especially in the cold at the
Speaker 2: end of the year, when it's his throwing hand.
Speaker 3: That doesn't make me feel good.
Speaker 2: And he didn't have that against the Chiefs, and then
Speaker 2: I still look to it.
Speaker 3: They've found a way to do it. I still listen.
Speaker 2: We talked a lot about the Vikings that in the NFC,
Speaker 2: that there's like kind of a we're all wary of them,
Speaker 2: and there's a recent history where yeah, you have a
Speaker 2: good record, but the last time we signed the playoffs,
Speaker 2: it didn't end well. I still feel that way about
Speaker 2: Baltimore kind of. I've just been so excited about so
Speaker 2: many Baltimore teams over the years. It doesn't end well.
Speaker 2: It usually ends shockingly. Now it's the same for Buffalo,
Speaker 2: but they beat the Chiefs this year. So I'm going
Speaker 2: back and forth as we all do I have a
Speaker 2: slight edge to Buffalo, although.
Speaker 3: I'm worried about Josh's hands.
Speaker 2: The fact that they actually got a victory over this
Speaker 2: team that no one else can, I think it has
Speaker 2: to be the answer. If you're interested in the offensive
Speaker 2: rookie of the year, that's over. That's over Shade Daniels.
Speaker 2: He's putting it right next to the Heisman.
Speaker 3: It's over. Bo Nicks had a great year.
Speaker 2: Maybe he'll go and get in the playoffs and win
Speaker 2: a playoff game.
Speaker 3: That thing is over. The other thing. I was really
Speaker 3: putting some time into this.
Speaker 2: I think this is the biggest Commander's win in twenty years.
Speaker 3: I really mean.
Speaker 2: That their last playoff win was zero five, and it
Speaker 2: was a wild card win and it was Mark Brunell
Speaker 2: leading them against Chris Simms.
Speaker 3: It didn't amount to much. You don't remember it very well.
Speaker 2: I don't either, with this stakes, with the winning streak
Speaker 2: they were on at this juncture of the season at home,
Speaker 2: with this quarterback, I don't remember a bigger Commander is blash, slash,
Speaker 2: whatever they call win in twenty years from Jayden Daniels.
Speaker 3: It is that massive. They have the guy.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be here he's not going anywhere. He was
Speaker 2: incredible at the end of the game. And I know
Speaker 2: there's a massive part of the Eagles who are saying
Speaker 2: our starting quarterback was out. They didn't talk about it
Speaker 2: enough on the broadcast. They're not talking about it enough
Speaker 2: on Good Morning Football. I know your starting quarterback was out,
Speaker 2: and maybe he'll be again in the in the game
Speaker 2: if you see these guys in the playoffs, which you might.
Speaker 2: I also know that your defense, which is the strength
Speaker 2: of this Eagles team, as good as the offense is,
Speaker 2: it's the defense. They're on the field at the end
Speaker 2: of the game against a rookie quarterback and had the
Speaker 2: chance to make a stop and they couldn't do it.
Speaker 2: It was the most casual game winning touchdown throw I've
Speaker 2: ever seen, and then they just casually got the two
Speaker 2: point conversion right after it. All Right, we may see
Speaker 2: this game again, but I'm not hanging some giants seventy
Speaker 2: two point front asterisks on the Commanders when their own
Speaker 2: quarterback went five touchdowns and they still had five turnovers
Speaker 2: and still won. I don't think there's been a bigger
Speaker 2: win in two decades for this organization. You guys know,
Speaker 2: I talked to Jaydon Daniels this week. When you get
Speaker 2: into it later, part of the conversation we had was
Speaker 2: Philly's coming. They're coming to Washington. This is different. This
Speaker 2: is not you playing the Giants. This is not some
Speaker 2: out of division team. And we talked about does this
Speaker 2: feel like Georgia or Bama when you're at LSU And
Speaker 2: he totally got it. He understood the weight of the
Speaker 2: situation and he won, and he won dramatically in the
Speaker 2: final minutes. I was blown away by Jadon Daniels. The
Speaker 2: Commanders right now, Egos were gonna lose. Eventually they lost
Speaker 2: to a new rival, and that is a new rival
Speaker 2: on the road.
Speaker 3: It's really cool.
Speaker 2: We continue to be impressed by Sam Donald. It's time
Speaker 2: to stop being surprised by Sam Donald. This is a
Speaker 2: thirteen and two football team. I remember when they were
Speaker 2: the best story of September, Like, oh wow, the Vikings
Speaker 2: are actually gonna be good this year. No one picked
Speaker 2: them for the playoffs. It's December now. Do you even
Speaker 2: remember their last loss? It was to the Rams and
Speaker 2: then they lost to the Lions by two points. That's it.
Speaker 2: They lost to the Rams. They lost the Lions by
Speaker 2: two points. It's hilarious to me though, as Peter brought
Speaker 2: this up when we started, the thirteen and two team
Speaker 2: has a worse seed than the Falcons and the Rams.
Speaker 3: That's just the way it works right now.
Speaker 2: But they have a chance to do something about it,
Speaker 2: and they look every single part that they can. Guys,
Speaker 2: they could be the one very easily. They still played
Speaker 2: Detroit's they went out. Now that Philly lost, they're right there,
Speaker 2: thirteen and two team, just to fireworks display yesterday. Seattle's
Speaker 2: a good football team. We know it's tough to play.
Speaker 2: We've mentioned it a bunch of times. It's the greatest hits.
Speaker 2: It's Addison, it's Jefferson. They make plays when they need to.
Speaker 2: But they have done this now for months. I wonder, though,
Speaker 2: where are we nationally with the reputation and the image
Speaker 2: of this Vikings team. I'm just saying, they're thirteen and
Speaker 2: two over and over.
Speaker 3: Are you still going to pick him against Green Bay
Speaker 3: next week? Do you still expect them?
Speaker 2: Even if they do get the one, you go into
Speaker 2: some kind of buy and then come out and lose
Speaker 2: it home in the Divisional I'm not there. It's too
Speaker 2: many wins. You have to respect them. I don't care
Speaker 2: who their coaches, who their quarterback is. They look fantastic
Speaker 2: just about every single week. And by the way, I
Speaker 2: already gave the Offensive Rookie the Year to Jaden Daniels.
Speaker 3: That's over. If I had a.
Speaker 2: Vote, which I don't, koc is the offense is the
Speaker 2: coach of the year. Coach of the year is Kevin O'Connell.
Speaker 2: You can say Dan Campbell did a great job too.
Speaker 2: He had golf coming in. He was with golf last year.
Speaker 2: They kind of had this whole machine. Everyone gives so
Speaker 2: much credit to his coordinators.
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell. For me, that's over.
Speaker 2: Jamiir Gibbs, I said it last week. He's gonna have
Speaker 2: to be a superstar. With David Montgomery injured, guy had
Speaker 2: twenty three carries.
Speaker 3: He felt every bit the workhorse.
Speaker 2: I also have to give him the Best Supporting Actor award.
Speaker 2: We've been talking about the Lions fake stumbled play all
Speaker 2: morning long. It's a hilarious thing they cooked up where
Speaker 2: Jared Goff appears to be falling.
Speaker 3: Look at Gibbs. That's great acting right there. He falls down,
Speaker 3: he rolls over.
Speaker 2: Everybody's telling me too, that the people on the Lions sideline,
Speaker 2: all the players, the staff scream ball like they're trying
Speaker 2: to act like it's a fumble, even they were in
Speaker 2: on it.
Speaker 3: They're like extras in the movie.
Speaker 2: But Gibbs is the leading man in Yesterday for the
Speaker 2: Lions offense, as good as Jamison was, as good as
Speaker 2: golf was twenty six. Is the player who I think
Speaker 2: will get this offense to a Super Bowl or knots
Speaker 2: And yesterday, yes it was the Bears.
Speaker 3: Yes they haven't won in two months. Heavy volume perry.
Speaker 2: For a guy who's not usually getting that, the Lions
Speaker 2: really impressed with them. He looked every bit the part
Speaker 2: of a guy who can say, no problem, David Montgomery's out,
Speaker 2: get on my back, and they did, and they'll continue to.
Speaker 2: I love Jamiir Gibbs. He's my game ball guys. It's
Speaker 2: come to this. Joe Burrow got his lineman's swords. He
Speaker 2: let me repeat that, the Holliday thing they usually get
Speaker 2: him jet skis and golf carts and trucks. He bought
Speaker 2: his linemen swords like actual swords. And here he is
Speaker 2: explaining it. Joe Burrow never changed. Well, they wanted guns,
Speaker 2: and I was like, I don't know about guns, guys,
Speaker 2: and so I was in the weapon mindset and I.
Speaker 3: Was like, what's cool weapon? Samurai swords I think are
Speaker 3: pretty dank cool. They are pretty dank cool.
Speaker 2: That's the first ballot weapon right there, the samurai sword.
Speaker 2: First of all, the linemen are like, hey, Joe, buy
Speaker 2: us some guns. Jeez, not taking it easy, dude.
Speaker 3: I'm not buying you guns.
Speaker 2: I'll get you swords. And I also like maybe a
Speaker 2: little return to normalcy. There's always this one upmanship that
Speaker 2: I'm getting them a car and I'm getting them a
Speaker 2: boat and I'm getting them a yacht. He's like, no,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get them some cool swords that they take
Speaker 2: pictures with and look cool on Instagram with and do
Speaker 2: in the backyard. So Joe Burrow, one of the most
Speaker 2: eccentric guys in all of sports, and I mean that
Speaker 2: as a compliment, bought his Lineman swords.
Speaker 3: And I like to check those swords out. If anybody's
Speaker 3: looking for me still for the last minute.
Speaker 2: Ideas, I'd like a sword as well.
