Speaker 1: Wilson teps airs it out down tail for Rotie touchdown.
Speaker 1: Teken mettal frame rush and it rolls talked for a touchdown.
Speaker 1: Cover color Wilson steps three flips open to a chuckle
Speaker 1: from a touchdown. Carson Sir Lion from four Sir Lion
Speaker 1: missed it. Greg the leg more like Greg the egg.
Speaker 1: Greg's airline misses the forty four yard field goal with
Speaker 1: seconds to play, ceiling in the Los Angeles Ramsay's fate
Speaker 1: and giving the Seattle Seahawks and an incredible thirty to
Speaker 1: nine win at the clink in one of the best
Speaker 1: games of the twenty nineteen season, and handsas here along
Speaker 1: with Mark Sessler at the Throwback Podcast studio as it
Speaker 1: is contractually obligated here at the garage. Yeah, I'm under
Speaker 1: the impression that I had offended Bob, your throwback co
Speaker 1: host last time by not I guess pain enough respect
Speaker 1: to the h It is a nice stool that I'm
Speaker 1: sitting in at the piece of furniture that I'm in
Speaker 1: apparently needed to have more Bob hype attached to it. Bob,
Speaker 1: we love yous. Uh. Yeah, So we're here in my garage,
Speaker 1: just finished watching like I said, one of the best
Speaker 1: games of the year, absolutely and uh games, a game
Speaker 1: that had so many twists and turns. Incredible play at
Speaker 1: the quarterback position from Russell Wilson Jared goth in the
Speaker 1: second half especially, really heated up and was matching Wilson
Speaker 1: down the stretch and mark the Seahawks. They take the
Speaker 1: lead on that juggling catch by Chris Carson, and he
Speaker 1: could have just started walking home if he and catch
Speaker 1: that ball. They're unable to seal the game after the interception,
Speaker 1: the off interception, and the Rams march right down the field,
Speaker 1: have things every everything is set up. Sometimes the kickers
Speaker 1: gotta make a kick and he did not make the kick,
Speaker 1: and because of that, the Rams have lost two in
Speaker 1: a row. It's been a long seven or eight days
Speaker 1: for the Rams. And I remember what or driving over
Speaker 1: here not remember it was roughly six or seven minutes
Speaker 1: ago driving over to your house listening to the final
Speaker 1: minutes of this and m j D on the radio
Speaker 1: broadcast was asking the Rams to run the ball with
Speaker 1: those final couple of plays over and over that these
Speaker 1: that the Seahawks, now playing a relatively frequent too deep
Speaker 1: safety set, had the field wide open for maybe even
Speaker 1: a breakaway run. They were deep in field goal range
Speaker 1: or deep enough in field goal range. Instead it doesn't happen.
Speaker 1: They get that foul at the end for a delay
Speaker 1: of game, and that's the game right there. That's a
Speaker 1: difference in zerline which I who I believe was maybe
Speaker 1: number three, and Chris Wesleyan's kicker ranking still belongs there.
Speaker 1: He's one of the most consistent kickers of the era.
Speaker 1: But that what what an ending. You kind of knew
Speaker 1: though that game was gonna come down to something weird
Speaker 1: because it took on a life of its own and
Speaker 1: stock up on Thursday Night football. These games have habitually
Speaker 1: been stinkers that we kind of have to prop up
Speaker 1: and lift back to life when we're reviewing them. Not
Speaker 1: this one. We usually cannot do that. It should be noted, Yeah, zirline,
Speaker 1: he'll he'll survive and he's a good kicker, and that
Speaker 1: that is the least of Los Angeles problems going forward.
Speaker 1: And I will say I think m j D's point
Speaker 1: was spot on that they probably could have handled that
Speaker 1: better Los Angeles, But the end of the day, they
Speaker 1: got that last completion that got all that yardage back
Speaker 1: and then some and set them up for a very
Speaker 1: makeable field goal. And Zerline, who we know has onions.
Speaker 1: We saw him send them to the super Bowl with
Speaker 1: a bomb in January. It just didn't work out this time.
Speaker 1: And and uh yeah, I just I Russell Wills and
Speaker 1: and I tweeted this out. You know, Patrick Mahomes is
Speaker 1: obviously you know, he's the reigning m v P, and
Speaker 1: and he has physical abilities that no other quarterback possesses.
Speaker 1: But if you want to pound for pound, you can
Speaker 1: make an argument, I really think you can that Russell
Speaker 1: Wilson deserves to be in the conversation at least the
Speaker 1: best quarterbacks. And what he did today seventeen twenty three
Speaker 1: to sixty eight average almost twelve yards and attempt four
Speaker 1: touched us, no interceptions, also is scrambling ability, which is
Speaker 1: he's famous for. Obviously an incredible game. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: mean there were tweets and chants of m v P
Speaker 1: during it. And I could make that argument too. And
Speaker 1: we we've talked for years about oh now we're getting
Speaker 1: the latter stages of Tom Brady and for a while
Speaker 1: Peyton Mary and Drew Bret. Well that's fair, but but
Speaker 1: they're we're at the point where they are mental giants,
Speaker 1: and we always have to mention where they're operating from
Speaker 1: the neck up. And Russell Wilson has sort of become
Speaker 1: that guy that's operating mentally in this own in a
Speaker 1: completely different way than earlier in his career where he
Speaker 1: was doing. He was always an incredibly smart, cerebral guy
Speaker 1: and a hard working quarterback, but the athletic stuff always
Speaker 1: captured you. He still has that too, though. I mean
Speaker 1: the initial throw he made to Tyler Lockett on that
Speaker 1: first touchdown was insane. And he's doing stuff and he's
Speaker 1: so aware of who's around him and what's happening around him.
Speaker 1: The shot he I looked to me like a I
Speaker 1: called it like a loaf of pumper nickel bread that
Speaker 1: he threw right through the air and to the arms
Speaker 1: of Will Disley who had about half of foot space.
Speaker 1: Well Disley, who they hired as a blocker who ken block.
Speaker 1: But he's making these incredible catches and has been a
Speaker 1: big factor on offense. Chris Carson, who was a fumble
Speaker 1: machine early on, I thought tonight he's perfectly what they need.
Speaker 1: Is he the best running back in the NFL? I
Speaker 1: don't really care. He fits that offense, and he ran tough,
Speaker 1: and he tired the rams down on occasion one eighteen
Speaker 1: for Chris Carson. And your point, which is a good one.
Speaker 1: Wilson's unbelievable ability, his magic to sustain plays, keep plays alive, scramble,
Speaker 1: set his fee, keep his eyes up field, and he
Speaker 1: hit Tyler Lockett with an incredible throw for the first touchdown.
Speaker 1: That's what got me so angry. I was Internet mad
Speaker 1: when poor Clay Matthews gets banged again by the officials
Speaker 1: uh in the go ahead touchdown drive for Seattle in
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. That is the genius of Wilson is
Speaker 1: that when everyone everyone else, any other quarterback, that the
Speaker 1: play is over, he has that ability and that last
Speaker 1: nanosecond to make a decision to make a throw that
Speaker 1: can kill you as a defense. So as a pass rusher,
Speaker 1: you have no choice but to play right through the
Speaker 1: very moment that balls out of his hands, which is
Speaker 1: what Clay Matthews did on a hit that was not
Speaker 1: helmet to helmet. They still flagging for fifteen yards instead
Speaker 1: of third and long. And knowing Wilson's greatness, he probably
Speaker 1: does convert that we'll never know. But instead of third
Speaker 1: and long around the third yard line. Uh, the Seahawks
Speaker 1: are set up for a touchdown. Uh. And that's exactly
Speaker 1: what they do. And on the so I'm mad, I'm
Speaker 1: Internet and now I'm podcasting. You're working it out right here,
Speaker 1: which is what I enjoy. And on the other side
Speaker 1: of the field with their quarterback the Los Angeles Rams.
Speaker 1: Through most of the first half, it felt like the
Speaker 1: big storyline coming out of this game was that the
Speaker 1: Rams offense was broken and this is this is now
Speaker 1: reaching a crisis point. Uh, and I want to There
Speaker 1: was a moment mark there was this weird little moment
Speaker 1: when Jason Meyers, the Seattle Seattle Seahawks kicker, missed the
Speaker 1: forty seven yard or that would have put Seattle up
Speaker 1: I believe seventeen to three. Yes, that would have been it.
Speaker 1: He he misses it, and they showed the replay of
Speaker 1: the Rams sideline. Jared Goff taps Sean McVeigh on the
Speaker 1: belly and waves his team onto the field as if
Speaker 1: to say, we're good, let's go, let's go. And I really,
Speaker 1: one thing you can say about golf, you could say
Speaker 1: he's not as good as maybe what a salary is
Speaker 1: or or that it's his support system around him that
Speaker 1: makes him a productive quarterback. But I always I do
Speaker 1: admire that he seems to be such a California chill guy.
Speaker 1: He does things don't get to him and as bad
Speaker 1: at things were going, Uh, he went back on the field,
Speaker 1: he takes him right down the field for a touchdown. Halftime,
Speaker 1: they get the ball at half, go right down the
Speaker 1: field again and I know he threw that interception and
Speaker 1: that was an incredible play by the Seattle defender. Uh
Speaker 1: what was his name? You guys know we're here in
Speaker 1: the garage. In the garage, yes, And they do get
Speaker 1: the ball back and he takes them down the field
Speaker 1: at the end goff does. He finishes with almost four
Speaker 1: yards passing, And I think it was a really positive
Speaker 1: step forward, uh for the Rams offense, even in defeat.
Speaker 1: Well and that and so had had the Seahawks lost
Speaker 1: this game, there would have been in one of the
Speaker 1: way these games unfold have been a lot to look at.
Speaker 1: And they the score was actually it was fourteen to
Speaker 1: six and would have been seventeen to six had Seattle
Speaker 1: made that field goal that you mentioned. They also had
Speaker 1: the ball on the Rams thirty with fourth and on
Speaker 1: and Aikman and everyone thought, this is a place where
Speaker 1: maybe you go for it and you just seal this
Speaker 1: thing up earlier. You build that lead that the Rams
Speaker 1: will be really hard pressed to come back from. And
Speaker 1: they tried the hard count thin and thing instead, which
Speaker 1: didn't which almost never works at this point. You have
Speaker 1: to be semi drunk on defense to fall for that,
Speaker 1: or largely, you know, not not cerebral, which is true
Speaker 1: of some of these guys, but large umbasses that like
Speaker 1: the the Seahawks, do not get the hard count, they
Speaker 1: do not convert, and that set up the field goal.
Speaker 1: And I thought that was a huge momentum shift that
Speaker 1: led to the Rams coming out of the gate in
Speaker 1: the third quarter and turning this into a game. And
Speaker 1: it reminds me a little bit, right, It reminds me
Speaker 1: a little bit of the Broncos Jaguars game that I've
Speaker 1: mentioned like roughly six hundred times on our show, where
Speaker 1: the Flacco picked before the half. I know Wesley and
Speaker 1: sending his hair on fire if he had it right
Speaker 1: now because he hates me mentioning that. But there these
Speaker 1: pre half momentum swings seemed to take a fat and
Speaker 1: that the rams were never the same in a good way.
Speaker 1: Because I also looked at golf during part of that
Speaker 1: first half and thought, yes, he's sort of got that
Speaker 1: California surfer cool, but I need more from this guy.
Speaker 1: He was asleep at the wheel for drive after drive.
Speaker 1: They were over for four on third downs at one point,
Speaker 1: and they're in a bunch of three and ounce and
Speaker 1: then they came to life. Um. Also, I'm sure he's armish,
Speaker 1: sore as helly through sixty eight passes last week. He's
Speaker 1: on a short week and they're slinging it all over
Speaker 1: the field again because he's nine yards passing in two weeks.
Speaker 1: What's six You do the math mark, you're smart. Sixty
Speaker 1: plus forty nine. Sixty plus forty nine is a hundred
Speaker 1: and seventeen in two and four days. Wild. Yeah, that's wild,
Speaker 1: and it's no longer. There was a player on Twitter
Speaker 1: that sent out the tweet. Uh, and again it's loosening
Speaker 1: the garage. So I don't I don't remember who sent
Speaker 1: out the tweet, but he called Todd Gurley the NFL's
Speaker 1: most expensive decoy. Todd Gary Gurley, for the second straight week,
Speaker 1: has two touchdowns. That's good. He always has had a
Speaker 1: nose for the end zone. But only fifteen carries for
Speaker 1: fifty one yards three point four yards per carry. And
Speaker 1: with each passing week it makes you wonder if all
Speaker 1: that sometimes, this summer of breathless or constant just speculations
Speaker 1: seems silly by the time you get October. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's silly anymore. Todd Gurley might not be the
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley we we know anymore, and he doesn't seem
Speaker 1: to move with the same level of grace and power
Speaker 1: that that we used to see. Um. Then the other side,
Speaker 1: the other the other big takeaway from me is Cooper
Speaker 1: cup is Troy Aikman called him. You know, every team
Speaker 1: is only as good as its third best offensive wide receiver,
Speaker 1: and I want maybe he's their best wide receiver. Maybe
Speaker 1: he's the number one because he he is obviously the
Speaker 1: favorite target of Jared Goff and his ability to move
Speaker 1: the change. Gerald Everett had a huge game in this game. Uh.
Speaker 1: Brandon Cook's unfortunately being evaluated for concussion again, and that
Speaker 1: is something now. Uh, It's happened repeatedly, including in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. H. That is something to keep an eye
Speaker 1: on going forward for the Rams, but I thought it
Speaker 1: was a positive step forward for their offense. But still
Speaker 1: it's a little weird that Todd Gurley isn't the centerpiece anymore.
Speaker 1: I thought we saw a date. You know, one of
Speaker 1: the storylines was that we know how to beat the
Speaker 1: Rams at this point, they've run the same attack. They
Speaker 1: don't adjust well. They're two tight end set. Hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty seven receiving yards was the most they've had since
Speaker 1: two thousand and thirteen with Jeff Fisher and Sam Bradford
Speaker 1: a quarterbacks. So that's a change. They haven't been doing that,
Speaker 1: and they found a way to make that work tonight
Speaker 1: against Seattle. That also started heavily in that third quarter.
Speaker 1: So you know, this is one of those games that
Speaker 1: reminds you that these division Thursday night showdowns have the
Speaker 1: chance to be these We saw it with the with
Speaker 1: Carolina and Tampa Bay a couple of weeks ago. As
Speaker 1: barn burners, they as they say a term that we agree,
Speaker 1: we're not really sure what that even means. It's so
Speaker 1: distant from this country. Now. Yeah, not no shots fired
Speaker 1: at any listeners on farms, but farms are barnes or
Speaker 1: any type of that zone West would call West would
Speaker 1: call Miami, Florida the Midwest at this point, Yes, it
Speaker 1: is in his these farms and these barns in the Midwest.
Speaker 1: We there's not much of a connection at this Yeah,
Speaker 1: we're far We're far away from you know, Laura Ingles
Speaker 1: Wilder falling asleep next to Mary in a bed in
Speaker 1: the top story of a barn. People aren't doing that
Speaker 1: as much as at least not here and where we
Speaker 1: live in Los Angeles. I think both these teams are
Speaker 1: playoff teams. Do you agree? I do, and I think
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks. I can't think of a team that's more.
Speaker 1: I know you were. You were a little nonplussed with
Speaker 1: the way that we went down to night. The most
Speaker 1: fun team to me in the league to watch. Well,
Speaker 1: I I get a little yeah, as a sad Jets fan,
Speaker 1: it annoys me a little bit when I see teams
Speaker 1: that everything always seems to work out for them, at
Speaker 1: least in their building. Uh and high high leverage spots
Speaker 1: in primetime situations. I know you're happy because you had
Speaker 1: a soft block on it. Well that turned into a
Speaker 1: rock solid lock. But it must be nice being a
Speaker 1: Seahawks fan. I guess, I mean unless unless they're up
Speaker 1: against the team that things most always go right for.
Speaker 1: That's the equal equalizer. And you know Seattle fans, they
Speaker 1: have to contend with the Mariners being terrible, and of
Speaker 1: course the Sonics leaving them are being taken away from them. Um,
Speaker 1: so that's fine. You have this team. Enjoy this team
Speaker 1: because it's a fun team. And I wish I should
Speaker 1: call Greg Rosenthal right now. You're not gonna call him
Speaker 1: right now. I'm gonna ask, yeah, see the answers and
Speaker 1: see if he wants to come back. I'm gonna formerly
Speaker 1: um formally ask him if he wants to come back
Speaker 1: to Seahawks corner question while you're dialing Seahawks screen tonight
Speaker 1: jet screen, which is the preferable version on the eyes.
Speaker 1: I don't like the highlighter green the Seahawks, but I
Speaker 1: get it. It's the thing. My child called it lime green.
Speaker 1: All right, I'll see if Greg quick. I haven't called
Speaker 1: Greg about three years. I mean think you think, oh,
Speaker 1: it must be an emergency. Maybe I'm blocked unlisted because
Speaker 1: this is his chance. If he doesn't pick up that
Speaker 1: the window closest the night off who knows what he's
Speaker 1: up to at home. That was it? Should I leave
Speaker 1: a message? Yeah? All right, we got it. At this point,
Speaker 1: hang out one for more options. All right? Greg Dan
Speaker 1: here in the garage with Mark or recording the Thursday
Speaker 1: night football recap. I was calling you to give you
Speaker 1: an opportunity, your final opportunity to get back on Seahawks
Speaker 1: corner after an exhilarating win, an incredible Russell Wilson performance,
Speaker 1: Chris Carson running the hell out of the ball, DJ
Speaker 1: Metcalf making place, Tyler Lockett getting a toe tap down
Speaker 1: like nobody else. But that's it. This was your last opportunity.
Speaker 1: You didn't pick up the phone, which is a shot
Speaker 1: at me. And at this point I'm pulling the offer
Speaker 1: off the table. You're out of Seahawks corner forever. Goodbye.
Speaker 1: You are the weakest link. Goodbye. It's a good idea
Speaker 1: to slight Dan on a Thursday because he'll be thinking
Speaker 1: about that all week and it will become very intense
Speaker 1: for heading to London. It's going to be fraught with controversy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this chance, all right? Anything else to add I'll take
Speaker 1: that spot on the corner. You want to come, I
Speaker 1: am you know, there are a lot of these teams
Speaker 1: out there that are becoming hard on the eyes. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna jump on the ones that I'd find enjoyable. All right,
Speaker 1: you officially, I'm gonna put all Greg's stuff on the curb.
Speaker 1: I had been keeping his room untouched. I will clear
Speaker 1: all that stuff out. Maybe you can give me a
Speaker 1: hand and you take the room going. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: there you go. That's it. Good Thursday night, UH football recap. UH.
Speaker 1: You'll hear from the entire crew again on Sunday night
Speaker 1: when we recap the rest of the week five games.
Speaker 1: So make sure you tune in until then. The Flames
Speaker 1: sign it off hands do some Mr Fancy Fans. The
Speaker 1: Fames need NFL chance round like a flame. Boys, pig
Speaker 1: skins hot Tonight's burn, Billy Burn,
