14
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: this as good as it gets? Just like the National

15
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: Championship game? Is this as good as it gets? Oh? No,

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: there's better. It's not switched to life changing wet extra

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: large flushable dude wipes because Wedter just cleans better. Available

Speaker 1: at Amazon and at major retailers nationwide. Dude Whipe's best

19
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: clean pants down.

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 4: Should they give those with the eighty one dollars giant

21
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 4: thors Hammer meat stuff kigg in mine?

22
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: See I was gonna go with that. DJ clearly Miami

23
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: catching Indiana with their pants down on Mark Fletcher's touchdown

24
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: run a few moments ago.

25
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 4: DJ well done fifty seven yards. They'd rushed for twenty

26
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 4: as a team before that.

27
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: You scamper.

28
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: You talk about a play that was absolutely needed. Miami

29
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: had done nothing in this game offensively. It was a

30
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: big miss at halftime, just before halftime on the field goal.

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: We'll get to Indiana. Really curious decision with it with

32
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: a short field in the second but they had done

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: nothing in the entire first half. Needed something positive joint

34
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: the field goal. It's ten to nothing. Indiana's feeling great.

35
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: You come out of the second half. The one thing

36
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: if you're Indiana, right, Kurtzignetti, it's don't let them get

37
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: out big early, right, because they're going to come out

38
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 1: with with the after time away, whatever adjustments they're gonna make,

39
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna come out with something big. Let's make sure

40
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: that we don't give up something early. And what happened.

41
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: Second play, Fletcher goes fifty seven yards, he hits the crease,

42
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: and now it is a ten to seven game, Indiana

43
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 1: leading Miami eight minutes to go in the third quarter.

44
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 4: Oh for seven on third down. I wondered as we

45
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 4: were sitting there staring at the ball as it drifted up,

46
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 4: and you heard the loud and donk, the sound like

47
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 4: a bell chime as it went up. It's like, was

48
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 4: that playing loser ball in the moment of how about

49
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 4: how about you actually try to press here. This is

50
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 4: the first time you've actually shown any signs of life. Offensively,

51
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 4: they talked extensively about the injury their kicker and sustained,

52
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 4: and how they'd been a bit off in terms of

53
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: their prep and being ready to go, and then he

54
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 4: goes in and misses it. All that said, you got

55
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 4: one big run and you're right back in it. Signetti

56
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 4: at halftime. The biggest thing that he wanted to make

57
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 4: sure he emphasized with the number of times that Mendoza

58
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 4: got hit in the head and that there was no call.

59
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 4: Three roughing penalties. He said, uh to no avail, one

60
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 4: of which was clear when he went out, as well,

61
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 4: you have feigned a playfake and then the guy said,

62
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: well I got a shot at him and he literally

63
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 4: hit him in the mouth helmet to helmet, no call.

64
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: Uh that was It was really weird that Kurtzignetty chose

65
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: to make that his uh pre or halftime locker room

66
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: interview with Holly row What you think, hey, three personal

67
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: foul pedals, We got to get those flags. Come on, man,

68
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: But look outside of that look. I sometimes college football

69
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: is pretty easy to break down. I picked Miami in

70
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: this game because of exactly how the game is going

71
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: up until this point. I was a little worried because

72
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: Miami was getting very becoming a very chic pick picking

73
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: the Hurricanes in this game over Indiana. But the two

74
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: big things that I told you they needed to do

75
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: was a they needed to one percent make sure from

76
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: the beginning they made Mendoza uncomfortable. They were able to

77
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: get to him, were able to hit him and make

78
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: Indiana try to play from behind or not front run.

79
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: And for the most part they were able to do it.

80
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: They held him to a field goal. Then they have

81
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: the big penalty that extends their drive. The score a

82
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: touchdown on ten nothing. Things are getting a little tenuous.

83
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: The other part from Miami I said was you need

84
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: those long drives to keep Mendoza on the bench. Where

85
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: you know these thirteen play sixty five yard eight minute

86
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: drives you need to hold on and you need to

87
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: keep hammering Fletcher at this defense because nobody's really tried

88
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: to run on Indiana. Now you think, okay, well we

89
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 1: got we gotta throw, we gotta keep up with them offensively,

90
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: we have to do all these things. But no one's

91
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: really tried to say, let's stick with the run and

92
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 1: let's see what we can do. And Miami slowly is

93
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,679
Speaker 1: getting there with okay, we're just gonna keep hammering away.

94
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: But at ten nothing, this is where things get a

95
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: little difficult. You're at that the game is gonna go

96
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: one way or the other really fast. That Fletcher run

97
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: was was such an unbelievably shocking moment, and it made

98
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: this a game because now Miami can continue to hammer

99
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: Fletcher and not a worry about throwing the football, keep

100
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: Carson beca in, you know, game managing things, because that's

101
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: kind of how it's been going. Every throw has been short,

102
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: you know, Malachai Tony catching the ball three yards past

103
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: the line of Scrimmers trying to have some kind of

104
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: break of a play. They're not able to really move

105
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: the football outside of that. But that's how they're gonna win.

106
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 1: This is not gonna be a game where Miami came

107
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 1: in and today we're new X y and Z out

108
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: execute and win this thing by twenty. This was going

109
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: to be one of those We have to keep it close.

110
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: The defense has to keep Mendoza from getting into a rhythm,

111
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: and offensively, we have to control the clock. We have

112
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: to continue to hammer them with running the football. And

113
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: that's exactly what's happening right now. I feel like I'm

114
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: coaching Miami from three thousand miles Mery crystball is very overrated,

115
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: my Carmen, if I can come up with that strategy

116
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 1: a week ago when I said this is how they

117
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: have to do it, and look what's happening.

118
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 4: Right Well, the key is long, methodical. Hey, keep Mendoza

119
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 4: on the sideline where you can just keep waving at

120
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 4: Tom Brady in the Las Vegas Raiders brass. Yeah, that's

121
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 4: that's easier said than done, because we watched twelve carries

122
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 4: twenty yards. Who said before the Fletcher a home run

123
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 4: of the fifty seven yard for the game fourteen for

124
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: seventy eight. But it's that type of thing, right We

125
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 4: talk about the big and explosives generally, which is what

126
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 4: you've had from Indiana all year long, as opposed to

127
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 4: Carson Beck and this Miami offense, which does more of

128
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: the eight to ten play drive. We've seen that from

129
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 4: Indiana several times tonight. Right, the big long protracted drives,

130
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 4: which is a little lot of character in terms of

131
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 4: what they want to do and trying to stretch the field.

132
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:31,159
Speaker 4: Good jobs by the cornerbacks from Miami. And then the

133
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 4: first half they let it get handsy so far. Second

134
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 4: half much the same. You want to fight down the sidelines,

135
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 4: have at it, make sure your head at least pretends

136
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 4: to look back for the ball.

137
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 3: We're not going to throw a flag.

138
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 4: But for Miami, those long protracted drives, you know, there's

139
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 4: plenty of ways that those can go sideways on you

140
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 4: in a hurry, and we saw some three and outs

141
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 4: at one point after a big Indiana drive, Miami gets

142
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 4: the ball back, they call three straight pass plays, all

143
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,280
Speaker 4: short pass plays, all incomplete, and they give the ball

144
00:06:58,360 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 4: right back to Indiana. It's like, you're deep.

145
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: They got to even get his chance at the oxygen and.

146
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 4: He's got to go back up there. Yeah, back out there.

147
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 4: So yeah, I mean, that's the danger of it. If

148
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 4: you've got to go five yards at a pop h

149
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 4: there's just so many ways that can go in sideways

150
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,559
Speaker 4: for you and when you end up having one drive

151
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 4: in the first half where you attempt a field goal,

152
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 4: it didn't look good for Mario Cristaball.

153
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 3: But they have made Mendoza uncomfortable. And as we sit here,

154
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 3: we got ourselves a three point game, you know.

155
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: And the thing I'm surprised with Indiana they get the

156
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: ball back. This is the you know, look, sometimes a

157
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: game is just a dogfight and a rock fight, and

158
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: that's what this is. You have to take the chances

159
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: that you are to get points when you can get them.

160
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: And Miami misses that field goal with about thirty some

161
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: odd seconds twenty nine seconds left the half, and Chris

162
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:46,679
Speaker 1: fallis as well, now they get to go to halftime.

163
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm like, you have the ball the forty yard line,

164
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: you have two timeouts. What are you being going to halftime?

165
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Get down there and get

166
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: a field goal? And Indiana kinda they ran the ball,

167
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: then they threw it and then all they had time

168
00:07:57,920 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: for was a hail Mary. I'm like, you have you

169
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 1: have them on the ropes right now. They just joint

170
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: the field goal. They're feeling like they they're feeling deflated.

171
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,559
Speaker 1: You can get in there, maybe not get seven, because

172
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: it's it's you know, you've not been able to do

173
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: that in the first half, but you're able to at

174
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: least time to get in field goal range in attempt

175
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: a long field goal, and instead you just kind of

176
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: let the clock tick down like Miami's got no timeouts.

177
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: Then you know, if you you could try for a

178
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: play or two and then say, okay, it's not working.

179
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: I know you don't want to punt the ball back

180
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: to it. We got the both the forty yard line.

181
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: Thirty seconds the run play ha ha, well trick them

182
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: like no six yard run and you're letting the clock run.

183
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 3: It made no sense. Like we were talking about.

184
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 4: It, and we'll get into the Bears Rams game, and

185
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 4: different question is.

186
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: How's it my fault? How's am I? That's something like that.

187
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 1: I did not put any evil on Harmon's bear. I

188
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: did not do it.

189
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 4: Harmon didn't sleep all night. He walked the earth like

190
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 4: he was cane and kung fields.

191
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: If anything, I'm mad at him and the Bears. Wow,

192
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: I med him because you cost me much. You want

193
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: to get in this now because the game's ten to seven.

194
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,599
Speaker 1: Let's get in this now because I'm pissed at you.

195
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: When I'm pissing at the Bears. You want to know

196
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: why I cost you mass me money. You cost me

197
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 1: a lot of money, and I'll say this because I'm

198
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: not gonna get that money. I was gonna take whatever

199
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: money I made and split with all of you because

200
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: it was such a great idea and you ruined it ruined.

201
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: I should have known there's no way the Bears have

202
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 1: come through because I had the best money making idea

203
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: following the big Hail Mary pass, that fourth down pass

204
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams touchdown pass to Cole Comet. I was gonna

205
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: make money because I was gonna. I was patenting cameracle,

206
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: Kay miracle, Cole Comet, Cameracle. That's it, that's made to

207
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: make money. I had it. It was a great idea.

208
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: I put it on social media. I wrote patent pending.

209
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: No one can steal it from me. What are you

210
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: gonna call something like that? WHOA and the Bears win

211
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: and go to the NFC Championship game. It's gonna be cameracle.

00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,319

213
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:47,360

Speaker 1: camerical picture comet holding the football up or just Caleb

217
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: Williams falling back about to be hit by forty five guys.

218
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: But no, you couldn't win an overtime, costing me a

219
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: lot of money. So now I can't yell at the back.

220
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,439
Speaker 1: I could yell at the Bears, but I can yell

221
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: you caause youre right it because you cost me money,

222
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: and you cost all of this money. I was getting

223
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: money to you and Monsei and to Frostburg and to

224
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: Marry and Tasha, Elijah, all you guys are gonna get

225
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: it because I'm that kind of guy. But no, you

226
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,839
Speaker 1: couldn't win the game. So now it's anonymous. Yeah no, no,

227
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: that's just it.

228
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 4: It's a it's a great play loss to the annals

229
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 4: of history, no one what might have been?

230
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 3: What? What was great?

231
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 4: And you know here he throws the ball fifty five

232
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: yards and it goes down as a fourteen yard touchdown pass.

233
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 4: That's all it's going to be remembered for in the

234
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 4: grand and unbelievable.

235
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: Believed such a money man.

236
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 4: Then they didn't go for two because they were terrible

237
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 4: in their execution of short yarded situations all night.

238
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: Well that I kind of get, because here's the thing

239
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: is that I like that Ben Johnson. I like when

240
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: coaches have the idea of going for two all the time.

241
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 1: But just like anything else, you know, you hate, no, no, no, no. Well,

242
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: because he just decided I'm gonna go for two whenever

243
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't win. When when the mood strike me, uh,

244
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: is that going for two points? When you're bad at it,

245
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: stop doing it? And the Bear is one of the

246
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: worst teams in the NFL last year, all year in

247
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: fourth down conversions. So I get that the metrics tell

248
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: you have to do it, but if you're bad at something,

249
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: don't do it right. Don't do it right. You know,

250
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm not great at backing into spots. Right. My wife

251
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: loves backing into spots, right, loves backing in spots.

252
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 3: And I'm like, okay, you know she's the problem, So

253
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 3: have cameras for that.

254
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: She's back here. Well, well, now I'm better at it

255
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: because I have the technology of the car. But I'm like, okay,

256
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: great so, but but I'm bad at backing into spots.

257
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: So if I'm in a tough situation, guess what I'm

258
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: not gonna do it because it's not worth it for me.

259
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: Scraping the car or you know, bumping the back anything else,

260
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it. I understand I'm not good

261
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: at it, so I'll do it when I have to,

262
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: right when you have to. Okay, I got it. I

263
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: got it back into a spot, but I'm not gonna

264
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: do it because not good at it. The Bear's got

265
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: to stop going for going forward on fourth down because

266
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: all you're doing is costing yourself the game by doing

267
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: You're not good at it. You're one of the worst

268
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, so obviously you don't have enough

269
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: good fourth and two plays are short or fourth and

270
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: three plays fourth and fourth place, So you know what,

271
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: don't do it. Don't do you're not good at it.

272
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were last amongst all playoff teams, twenty third

273
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 4: in the league overall.

274
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: Uh so we will have more on the Bears and

275
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: Harmon costing me money coming up. However, oh boy, just yeah,

276
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: oh but then you too, Frost. But I was gonna

277
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 1: give you when I take it back whatever what I

278
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: said before that, I was gonna eat my but it's

279
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: it's Harmon's fault. How you're driving at the McDonald's drive through.

280
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: I bet it's in pack.

281
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: It is all well, I don't have to back pull

282
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: right in, yell and they wait.

283
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: Sir, we needed your payment at this other window. Back here.

284
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: When they tell me, hey, you've paid, go to the

285
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: other window. I go to the other window. I wait,

286
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: I tell them what's wait? Okay, great, you got a

287
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: great awesome, have a great day. But just when we

288
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: said we had a game and things are looking good

289
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: for Miami, as Chris Berman would say, oh Hurricanes, special teams,

290
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: Indiana has now blocked their eight punt in the last

291
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: two years. Miami punting from deep in their own territory.

292
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: It is returned for a touchdown. It is a lightning

293
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 1: strike by the Indiana Hoosiers, who now lead this game

294
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: seventeen to seven. Their extra point doinks in off the upright,

295
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: which tells you two teams and two different football karma.

296
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: God things you have. Miami's field goal hits goes off

297
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: the upright and Indiana's extra point doinks through. But right

298
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: now things are getting a little bit difficult for Miami.

299
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: Now it is back to a ten point advantage. A

300
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: big block just moments ago, return for a touchdown. Seventeen

301
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: to seven, four and a half to go in the

302
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: third quarter, Still a lot of time left for Miami.

303
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: They're still running the football pretty well. Mark Fletcher just

304
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: had a big ten yard run. But boy, it would

305
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: be typical in this crazy college football season if the

306
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: big biggest play in a national championship game was a

307
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 1: block punt.

308
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 3: That sounds about right.

309
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 6: Now.

310
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 4: Do you think Signetti got powered up for the second

343
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: At the National Championship Game, Indiana leads Miami seventeen to seven. However,

344
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: the Hurricanes are on the doorstep facing a third and

345
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: a long one at the Miami three and a half

346
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: yard line, and it is no longer a third and one.

347
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 1: Fletcher is in the end zone, untouched from three and

348
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: a half yards out. Make it seventeen thirteen, extra point pending.

349
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: The game's starting to open up a little bit here.

350
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: Now Indiana's defense start and to get tired. You can

351
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: see Miami has been hammering away running the football, and

352
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: now Fletcher chunk yards every time. I don't know that

353
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: Miami needs to throw the football all but they've had

354
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: a couple of plays, a couple of short screens of

355
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 1: Malachai Tony, one big play on a broken play, but

356
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 1: outside of that, it's been Fletcher, Fletcher, Fletcher. And here

357
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: it is now ten plays, eighty one yards, taking five

358
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: minutes off the clock, extra point away from making it

359
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: seventeen fourteen. The extra point up and good. It is

360
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: now seventeen fourteen. We got a game again.

361
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 4: I like that formation as they brought the wide receiver

362
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 4: across the back as if they're gonna give it the

363
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 4: pitch out, the fake, and then the inside handoff to

364
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 4: Fletcher who goes in on touch.

365
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 3: As you said, he's up to.

366
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 4: One hundred and nine yards on the day in Carson

367
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,359
Speaker 4: back just twelve of twenty for one hundred and fifteen

368
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 4: as we sit here opening the fourth quarter. But it

369
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 4: doesn't matter. You're starting to see the Yak starting to play.

370
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 4: Good work by the receivers on the outside helping in

371
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 4: the to block things up and add that extra bit

372
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 4: of burst and yardage after the catch. So we've got

373
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 4: ourselves a game, and this is we could vote for.

374
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 4: For Nando Mendoza, the spotlight is now upon you. We've

375
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 4: seen him. Carson Beck has been in these big spots before,

376
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 4: and that was part of the analysis, right Jason. As

377
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 4: we got ready for this game, and Miami became the

378
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 4: trendy pick. I think a lot of folks finally went

379
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 4: back and looked at the back of Carson Beck's football

380
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 4: card and realized, Hey, he's done this stuff before, so

381
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 4: maybe he won't will if things get big now for

382
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 4: from Nando Mendoza and for Signetti, all eyes around them

383
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:32,719
Speaker 4: to see how they respond.

384
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: Do you know what else they find on his card?

385
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:35,360
Speaker 3: What's that? And he's been in.

386
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 1: College for like forty years?

387
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, hey, there's a punter who's twenty seven.

388
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of adults running around the world.

389
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: It's the oldest team in college football, right, It's the

390
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,919
Speaker 1: oldest team in college He's basically Van Wilder. Yeah he is.

391
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't it's a good strategy back to school another.

392
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 3: Year, especially down there in southern Florida.

393
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean Carson Beck was funny, right, he

394
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 4: got that question about the classes this week, and he goes,

395
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 4: I graduated to years ago, which really was the giant

396
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,719
Speaker 4: not the giant foam finger, the giant middle finger to

397
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 4: any last remnants of student athletes. Man, do you even

398
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 4: have to register halftime for classes anymore? Is anything on

399
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 4: the books?

400
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: Ask not what your college can do for you, but

401
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: how many years of football you can play at your college?

402
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 4: Hey, if you can go make another five to seven

403
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 4: million dollars for some of these guys, or a couple

404
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 4: hundred grand here and stay a college student and around

405
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,919

426
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: the call? That gave Indiana a seventeen to seven lead. However,

427
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: Miami goes right down the field again, starting to open

428
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: things up in that hoo's your offense, I'll who's your defense?

429
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: Indiana needs some time stay, keep the offense on the

430
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: field and and kill some clock because you don't want

431
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: to put that defense it's starting to get a little

432
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: tired back right out there against his Miami offense is

433
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 1: starting to field.

434
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 4: It's footing, grind a little bit of clock, dangerous pass

435
00:19:55,760 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 4: from Mendoza to the outside again, you know, trying to

436
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 4: drive the ball to the sidelines has been a little

437
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 4: bit of an issue today. So Miami looking to make

438
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 4: a big stop here and really get that home crowd

439
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:10,640
Speaker 4: behind them.

440
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: So we'll have more on this game coming up, Mancy Belogias.

441
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: We'll have more of what's trending coming up in a

442
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: few minutes. But big news in the NFL. Let you know,

443
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: I always would hear the big thing at ESPN when

444
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 1: I was there, when I was a production assistant associated person. Okay,

445
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: the story you want to tell, work backwards, right, work backwards,

446
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: and then you know where to begin. Okay, great, right, Okay,

447
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,679
Speaker 1: work backwards. So let's work backwards from the most recent

448
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: big news today and then work back. Sean McDermott is

449
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: fired as head coached by the Buffalo Bills following the

450
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 1: Bills loss to the Broncos on Saturday. We'll get to

451
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: the pass interference and interception a second. I kind of

452
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: knew here's the thing. I kind of knew he was

453
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: going to get fired when after the game was over

454
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: and he was complaining about the pass interference calls at

455
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: the end, he was complaining about the interception. The completion

456
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: of Brandon Cooks got overturned and he said, I'm standing

457
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: up for Buffalo, Like, oh, dude, I can smell the

458
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: desperation coming off you. I'm standing up for Buffalo, like

459
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: he knows. He knew, like I knew going into this

460
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: game if I didn't win, I was gonna get fired.

461
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 1: Like I think he probably knew that because when you

462
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: say at the end, I'm standing up for Buffalo, dude,

463
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: you're not running for mayor, you're not running for governor

464
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: of New York. I'm standing up for Buffalo because nobody

465
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: else will. Oh well, we gotta keep them. I gonna

466
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: throw myself on your mercy. I could feel the desperation

467
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: oozing off of his skin when he said I'm standing

468
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: up for Buffalo. Yeah. No, it was a nice speech.

469
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 4: I mean it was really well done, and certainly plenty

470
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 4: of stump speeches across social media and across our media,

471
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 4: brethren and everybody talking about that play. And we'll get

472
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 4: into the particulars in a moment, but but yeah, that

473
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,520
Speaker 4: just was the I needed to get off the plane

474
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 4: because at the time, right, you didn't have the pool report.

475
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,399
Speaker 4: When he met with the media right after the game,

476
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 4: and then he got up in the air and then

477
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 4: he saw everything else, and then he decided he had

478
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 4: to call back from the plane to make his impatch plea. Yeah,

479
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 4: right through the timeline. I was like, I talked about

480
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 4: this over here. No, no, no, now let's really double down.

481
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 4: I'll hold a press conference while I'm on the jet.

482
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because this may be I may get fired

483
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: somewhere over Ohio or Pennsylvania. Just so you know, I

484
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: mean that that best the tarmac I got, I got.

485
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: I got hired over Kansas. I got fired over Kansas.

486
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: That's where I was when they decided to fire me.

487
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: Uh so, And honestly, for the Bills, you kind of

488
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: have no choice. You've had the first seven years of

489
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's career and it's been great. You've won playoff games,

490
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: You've not gotten that next step. Yes, the fear as always,

491
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: you don't know how good you have it, and things

492
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,959
Speaker 1: can always be worse. But this is a team that

493
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: is looking at Super Bowls and why when we had

494
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: the best player left in the playoffs, could we not win.

495
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, as you like to say, he's an A

496
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: to B coach, but someone's got to be a B

497
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 1: two C coach. And I like that and I agree

498
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: with it, even if it's a bad year for hiring guys. Right,

499
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: it's not a great if you need a head coach.

500
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: But the Bills really had no choice because you're saying, Okay,

501
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,160
Speaker 1: here's Josh Allen twenty nine. He's a bigger quarterback, he's

502
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: a more physical quarterback, he runs the football, he's going

503
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: to have much less time left in his prime than

504
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: you think. This is just how it goes. So can

505
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: you really run it back and say, yeah, we're just one. No,

506
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: there had to be a big change. Obviously, Josh Allen's

507
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. James Cook is not going anywhere, and

508
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: that was the change it had. So I get it.

509
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: It sucks, but I completely understand, and I don't know

510
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: if the Bills had any choice but to do that.

511
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you're through eight years with Alan and

512
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 4: while it's great that they've won a playoff game each year,

513
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 4: that's fantastic, right the last six years and all of

514
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 4: the streaks you saw, all those different metrics, it's fantastic

515
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 4: And there's no doubt good coach, great coach. No, you

516
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 4: would have won more frequently. Now, the argument, I just

517
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 4: want to kill once and for all. If I had

518
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 4: one of those giant Harley Quinn mallets, I'd take it

519
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 4: to it of the well, there's no Mahomes and there's

520
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 4: no but.

521
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: They're not pillow fighting in the middle of a ring.

522
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: Like hey, like there's a bye the one like you

523
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: have to play the Jets and the Titans and the Cardinals,

524
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 1: and still it's like you're not fighting these guys individually

525
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: where Josh Allen has to be the pugilist in the ring.

526
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: It's still eleven on eleven last I saw you, and

527
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 1: they did not have the better team than a lot

528
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: of the teams that were still alive. But here's the

529
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: thing that really takes it over the top. In the past,

530
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: you can hang your hat on on occasion you would

531
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: get a big defensive effort from the Bills. In these playoffs,

532
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: you did not.

533
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, even after the game against the Jaguars, talked

534
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 4: about how much lift they got from Jacoby Myers.

535
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: What he meant? You think you think that sat well

536
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 1: with ownership and Bean? Remember Bean was calling into radio.

537
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,880
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, just say what and he got promoted

538
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 1: to the right thing.

539
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 4: But you know what I mean, Like he was calling

540
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 4: into radio shows to say, you guys are a bunch

541
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 4: of idiots.

542
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:51,479
Speaker 3: Look how good we are.

543
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 1: We don't have a receiver, and to have the coach

544
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: after they beat the Jaguars, because boy, you can see

545
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: how much different they are, Like what chakobe?

546
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 3: You got that?

547
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: And then you go out and you give up thirty

548
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: three to Denver.

549
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 3: You played well in spots, but you'd give it up

550
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 3: big plays.

551
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 4: Look, so you know you couldn't even get your defensive

552
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 4: part of things right at the end. Say nothing and

553
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 4: we'll get into Josh Allen in earnest. But you didn't

554
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 4: take care of your side of the ball, and you

555
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:21,760
Speaker 4: took another early exit, and you did so in dramatic fashion. Look,

556
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 4: there's a lot to break this down now to deal

557
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 4: with the three big plays and Josh Allen, the two

558
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 4: pass interference penalties at the end in over time and

559
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 4: the interception. The two pass interference penalties, the second one

560
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:35,920
Speaker 4: absolutely pass interference.

561
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: He pulled down on his arm. They ought to throw

562
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: the flag. Yeah, it's unfortunate because it was a terribly

563
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: thrown right. It wasn't way around right, and but that happened.

564
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: H that's about such a good strategy. The first one

565
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: not a penalty, however, really doesn't matter because it was

566
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: only a three yard difference because remember you had the

567
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: late hit that was going to give them fifteen yards

568
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,560
Speaker 1: in a first down, So it was a seventeen yard penalty,

569
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: but it was still going to be fifth teen yards

570
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: in a first down. So you can't really blame that

571
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: because it was absolutely a late hit. That was two

572
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: steps and a hit of Bonick, so okay, so that

573
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 1: was a roughing penalty. So that's why that first one

574
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,359
Speaker 1: didn't really matter. The interception, quite honestly, that was the

575
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: right call, right. The rule is to catch, complete the catch,

576
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: survive the ground. He didn't. You You can screen grab

577
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: all you want and make it look like in this

578
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: moment right here, he's got it. I was disappointed they

579
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: didn't look at it more. I felt like, you have

580
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: to look at that more. It's a play that needs

581
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I think it's it's okay to

582
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,200
Speaker 1: take a little bit time away and look at it

583
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: a little bit more. But outside of that, they got

584
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:37,959
Speaker 1: it right. I think the optic they didn't look at

585
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 1: it was worse than the outcome because that you can't

586
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: tell me that he had control, Like, as soon as

587
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: he hits the ground, the ball is coming out right,

588
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 1: And that's the rule, is that you have to survive

589
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 1: the ground. Even the one they want to compare it

590
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: to that DeVante Adams lack of a fumble in the

591
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: game against the Bears, Okay, it's two different catches. It's

592
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of two different things that are going on.

593
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: I really had no problem with either of those calls

594
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 1: because the first one, yeah, he doesn't come down with

595
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: the ball. Again, completing the catch and surviving the ground

596
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: is part of that. When you are up in the

597
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 1: air getting it coming down to the ground, that's different

598
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: than catching the ball. My knee comes down, I'm in

599
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: control of the football. He had to prove that he

600
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: had control of it. So, honestly, I didn't have a

601
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: problem with it. I think it just felt like, you know,

602
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: here's the Bills, and Bill's nation is melting down over

603
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: the fact that we had a chance to win and

604
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: we didn't, and here's this play and then here's two

605
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,399
Speaker 1: penalties that go against us. So I get the outrage,

606
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: but honestly, I mean, I don't see where that was

607
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 1: such that was such a big deal thing People just

608
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: took that and got out of control with it.

609
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 4: Well, but that's just it, right, if you're a much

610
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 4: beligned franchise and you've had everything go against you seemingly

611
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 4: for your entire existence. You got to four Super Bowls,

612
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 4: you lost them. All you've got why you got the

613
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 4: Norwold miss you got just keep on going down the line.

614
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 4: We got plenty of those even during this McDermott era.

615
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: So the fact that he called time out, that was

616
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 1: the only time I think we've ever had a thirty

617
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: second time out.

618
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 4: Be a thirty second time Outah, there's no replay. We

619
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 4: get more more coverage and timeouts for a replay in

620
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 4: the second quarter of a game in Week two than

621
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 4: what we got there, which was embarrassing for the league

622
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 4: when you've got a number of questions about how well

623
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 4: or poorly games are being officiated time. I mean, look

624
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:21,199
Speaker 4: signetti in this game. That's three hits on my quarterback

625
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 4: that they didn't call. Right if he's doing it in

626
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:25,879
Speaker 4: the middle of a game, and I don't think it

627
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 4: was gamesmanship.

628
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 3: I think he was actually right about But like, if.

629
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 4: We're going into all these big games and there's so

630
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 4: many instances of what we really got and then you

631
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 4: go to the rules analysts, he might as well be

632
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 4: eating a cheese steak because he's offering nothing in terms

633
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 4: of an alsa.

634
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, Yeah, what are you gonna do?

635
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 4: Like in this case, definitively, I don't know. Is he

636
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 4: down by contact? When does that come in to play?

637
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 4: Either right before the ball pops out. The fact that

638
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 4: he laid on the ground and couldn't get up to

639
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 4: sell his case whether he was not you know, had

640
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 4: the wind knocked out of him or just knew he

641
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 4: got got it was a bad look, like you didn't

642
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 4: help your team to sell that call. But the fact

643
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 4: that McDermott actually calls the time out and they're more

644
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 4: or less like, nope, get on the ball, let's go.

645
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just it's bad.

646
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 4: It's bad for the league again when you've got a

647
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 4: lot of questions and a lot of people with tinfoil

648
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 4: hats on across the league of how well or poorly

649
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 4: things are executed. Meanwhile, I got Lebron James every four

650
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 4: seconds trying to sell me about betting something. So it's

651
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 4: just not a not a good look for the league

652
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 4: in that instance to know that quickly to back to play.

653
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: Had they gone through it, would it have been a

654
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: little bit better. Yeah, you're still gonna have a you know,

655
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 1: a large group. They're gonna say, oh, they got screwed,

656
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 1: they got screwed, because everybody wants to look for something bad.

657
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: But at least they would have looked at it, but

658
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, and that sterotor was a clown

659
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: in the booth. Yeah, yeah, he had himself a bad day.

660
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, hey, you cant he put up a poll question,

661
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 3: so he at least got that up.

662
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 1: You can have bad days everywhere on the field, official official,

663
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: on television, can have bad days. They're calling on you

664
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: three or four tons in a game, come on, So yeah, really,

665
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 1: I get the bills are upset, but you know, look,

666
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: there was nothing that the calls were called right, and

667
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 1: it didn't affect the game. They just lost and on.

668
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 3: The larger scale, the inches were all around.

669
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: Time. How to find out what's trending in the wide

670
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 1: world of sports with someone who's been called the Kurt

671
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 1: Signetti of Fox Sports Radio because she has the same

672
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: Chipotle bawl every single day for lunch. It's Monte Bolano's

673
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: I love that.

674
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 6: I love that. I don't have the same I do

675
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 6: love Chipotlet, but I love Kurt Signetti. He just called

676
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 6: a timeout. It's fourth than five for the Indiana Hoosiers.

677
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 6: They're in the red zone.

678
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: They're going for it. They're going for it again.

679
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, but he did call it time out, and then

680
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 6: I was like, oh, maybe he's gonna change direction.

681
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 5: No.

682
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 6: Right now, the Hoosiers are up on the Hurricanes seventeen

683
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 6: to fourteen with about nine and a half minutes to go,

684
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 6: and Fernando Mendoza just got the first down and then some.

685
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: If he didn't become the number one overall picking the

686
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: draft before that. Fuday is on fourth and five, Fernando

687
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: Mendoza on a quarterback draw, looks like he's dead to

688
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: rights about two yards short of the first down, but

689
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: he makes a cut, He gets by both Miami defenders,

690
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 1: gets to the two yard line, gets drilled, but leaps

691
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: into the end zone for the touchdown. Make it twenty

692
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: three fourteen extra point pending. I mean, he gets absolutely

693
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: hit at the goal line a couple of times, but

694
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: he gets in three defenders on him. There you go,

695
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: there's your Fernando Mendoza. There's your highlight play. For Mendoza.

696
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: There if you, But there's your Fernando Mendoza moment, right,

697
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 1: you needed enough?

698
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 6: You and I basically said the same thing. You just

699
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 6: said it a lot more eloquently than I.

700
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: You know, I get paid to speak for a living.

701
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: I can put some words together once in the world. Yeah,

702
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,920
Speaker 1: you just said it, Chipoli boy. Yes, right, yes, thank you?

703
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 2: Yeah.

704
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 6: No, what a play in this drive for Fernando Mendoza

705
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 6: who is now fourteen of twenty five for one hundred

706
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 6: fifty three yards and now a rushing touchdown as you.

707

00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 6: for their head coaching job. In the NBA, Down to

715
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,360

716
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 6: Pistons are up on the Celtics right now. One o

717
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 6: four to one oh three. I think Celtics just got

718
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 6: the defensive rebound.

719
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 1: People are on the ground. I can't tell you, but

720
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 1: they're up by one. Piston's up by one, four and

721
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,479
Speaker 1: a half seconds to go. Wait when you say that,

722
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: Pistons people on the ground, you have to say, there's

723
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: no fight going no fight. Bad, my bad.

724
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,400

00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: Not malice at the palace.

726
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 6: That's not what's happening.

727
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no no.

728
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 6: But but a Celtic player was on the floor of

729
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 6: Celtics time out. But I do think they got the

730
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 6: rebound there. So four and a half seconds and Celtics

731
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 6: are down by one and late in the first quarter

732

745
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: the Knicks are finding out what is extremely difficult, and

746
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 1: that is repeating as champions. Okay, trying and repeat again

747
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: as twenty twenty six twenty twenty seven champions is harder

748
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: than you think it is. You win the title like

749
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: they did a couple months ago, it's hard to come

750
00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,440
Speaker 1: back and repeat. They're just finding it's hard for that.

751

00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza put up the Fernando Mendoza Forever highlight. They

775
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: will show this when they talk about him every day

776
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,480
Speaker 1: for the rest of his life. On fourth and five,

777
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: this touchdown run gives Indiana and pushes that lead back

778
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: out to ten and those are ready to take the staff.

779
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: He takes it.

780
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 7: He looks, he looks, He throws the football and.

781
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,800
Speaker 1: He runs it and he ties for the end zone?

782
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: Does he get it in touchstop?

783
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,960
Speaker 7: Runs the football and score.

784
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: Who's your radio network on the call?

785
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 3: And they needed that.

786
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 1: On fourth and five because everybody's favorite freshman. You know,

787
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: he's only thirteen years old. Malachi Tony twenty two yard

788
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 1: touchdown run in two years. Forget forget about bring arch Manning,

789
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: forget about forget about Andy Takaba. Can we make him

790
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 1: eligible for the draft so the Jets can get him second? Uh,

791
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: he is into the end zone from twenty two yards away.

792
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: Make it a four point game. Extra point is good

793
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: for Miami twenty four to twenty one, six and a

794
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: half minutes left to go. Miami is not going quietly,

795
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: and you know, just quite honestly to talk about this

796
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: for a second, right, like this is what makes this

797
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 1: call by Kurt Signetti and this move by him incredibly smart.

798
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: Fourth and five inside the Miami twenty yard line. Okay,

799
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: you got eight and a half minutes left to go.

800
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: Five is long? Five is a lot to make here

801
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 1: three or less? Yeah, you know the metrics say to

802
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: go for it here I with four, but fourth and

803
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: five is a lot. Normally you would kick the field goal.

804
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 1: Why because you would go up by six force in

805
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,759
Speaker 1: Miami get a touchdown to try to tie the game.

806
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: But as we talked about Indiana's defense getting tied, Miami

807
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: is starting to move the football in chunks. I am

808
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 1: sure because most coaches would say, well, I'm gonna trust

809
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 1: my defense to stop him. Kurt Signetti, on the other hand, going,

810
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm realizing what's happening right now. I love my defense.

811
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: They're guessed. They're getting gashed by Miami's offense. They're running

812
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: the football on us, they're moving it downfield. We need

813
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: to push this lead back up to two scores because

814
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: if we go one score, I know what's gonna happen.

815
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: Miami's gonna go down the field on us, kick the

816
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: extra point, and suddenly we're chasing. I don't want to

817
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 1: be chasing. I want to make sure up because we

818
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: can still move the ball in this defense, but we're

819
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: gonna go for it. Going for it on fourth and five,

820
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: an incredible play calls spreading everybody out. Mendoza goes in

821
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: again that touchdown run. It looks like he's dead to

822
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: rights about two yards from the first down, but he

823
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: cuts back inside, vaults three defenders that the goal line

824
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: takes a huge hit. Again. It's his forever highlight, but

825
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 1: that decision by Signetti on that play call to go

826
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,479
Speaker 1: for it on fourth down. This is what so many

827
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 1: coaches that I see that aren't great or get fired

828
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: have in common. They don't have a feel for the game.

829
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: How many times you see a coach asked answering a

830
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: question after a game going, boy, you didn't go for

831
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: two there? No, I trusted my defense to stop him.

832
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: They the other team had two fifty yards of offense

833
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. You're really trusting your What kind

834
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,520
Speaker 1: of decision has that to be made? This is an

835
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 1: in game adjustment understanding what have I just seen from

836
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: the Miami offense in the second half. They are now

837
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: starting to really break us down. So we need to

838
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 1: put the ball in our best player's hands. I'm gonna

839
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: put the ball in the Heisman Trophy player's hands and

840
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: our winner, and we're gonna go from here. And if

841
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: we'd lose, and if we don't make the first down, okay,

842
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: but we're gonna go and try to push this lead

843
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: out to ten because we have because we're not stopping

844
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:29,399
Speaker 1: Miami at this point.

845
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,399
Speaker 4: Well to that point, they only had the one big drive, right,

846
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,560
Speaker 4: you have the big Fletcher run that was a two

847
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,560
Speaker 4: play drive and you've done pretty well.

848
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 3: But then you'd just given up that ten play eighty one.

849
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 4: Yard drive and perhaps you saw something there that was different,

850
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 4: or perhaps you just said, you know what, I'm trusting

851
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 4: my Heisman winner and my guy. We've bullied people all

852
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 4: year long. We're not gonna stop now. So what have

853
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 4: we got in the back pocket?

854
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: Right?

855
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 4: Much like we were talking about a little bit with

856
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 4: just the oblique reference to Ben Johnson and some of

857
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 4: the play calling, go back to Dan Campbell and when

858
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 4: you go for two or when you go for it

859
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 4: on fourth down, where you got to feel well with

860
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 4: the signette, it was we got a good one, right,

861
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 4: We can spread it out because they got to worry

862
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 4: about Mendoz because they've been running a lot of flanker

863
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 4: screens and a lot a lot of.

864
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 3: The ball to the outside. So what did you do?

865
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 3: You spread it out.

866
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 4: You make the linebackers commit to either hash Mark and

867
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 4: Mendoz is able to go in.

868
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 3: Doesn't mean he didn't.

869
00:39:22,280 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 4: Take a licking because he'd been hit a lot over

870
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 4: the course of the day.

871
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:26,560
Speaker 3: Said you think we need one more?

872
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, we do, because otherwise going for the field goal

873
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 4: could have potentially gone into my category.

874
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: Of loser ball. Yeah, to me, we would have left

875
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:35,280
Speaker 3: the door open.

876
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: It's different if it's a defensive struggle and we've been

877
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: holding them back the whole game and they can't get

878
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: down the field, Honus, then I get it now, I

879
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 1: would get it. But this is adjusting to the game

880
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: and how he sees it and you nine and look,

881
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll say that in the post game. Hey,

882
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: you went for it on fourth and five. O was

883
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 1: behind that call. Well, you watch Miami that they had

884
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,759
Speaker 1: figured something out. They were going up and down the field,

885
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: ho Us. I wanted us to try to get out

886
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: there and get a bigger lead. And if I'm gonna lose,

887
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lose by saying I'm trusting my defense

888
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 1: instead of trusting the number one overall picking the draft,

889
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 1: my Heisman Trophy win a quarterback, like I think it's

890
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 1: a When you break it down like that, it's a

891
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: pretty easy to get it, easy to put in his hands.

892
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: He just showed a graphic.

893
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 4: What two forty nine to ninety six your second half

894
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 4: yardage at this point? Explosive plays all around. We saw

895
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 4: it receiving wise, this last drive. We saw it with

896
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 4: the run game, so three point game as we finish

897
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 4: it up.

898
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,839
Speaker 1: Coming up next are we crowning a champion in the

899
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,280
Speaker 1: next ten minutes at three point lead, six minutes left,

900
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: chasing a mic
