1 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome to the official Good Morning Football Podcast. 2 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 1: I'm Will Shelb and here are the best moments from 3 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 1: this week so far at the Breakfast Table. The end 4 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:21,360 Speaker 1: is almost here with Week sixteen. From an impressive performance 5 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: out of the Seahawks to a late game comeback from 6 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: the Saints, Let's find out what the Breakfast Table thought 7 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: about some of the biggest games from Week sixteen. Guys, 8 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: let's talk a little bit about these Seahawks. What is 9 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: it about this team that makes them so scary right now? 10 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson was amazing last night. I came into this 11 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: thing last night say, okay, this is the Patrick Mahomes 12 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,480 Speaker 1: moment game since there the Patrick Mahomes puts a stamp 13 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: on MPT and Mahomes was awesome last night. Russell Wilson 14 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 1: out Mahomes, Mahomes. We could talk Chiefs the defense. We will. 15 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: Let's talk Seahawks offense. Russell Wilson made all the plays 16 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: that Patrick Mahomes has played and more. This game. He 17 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: out Mahomes, Mahomes and what will be the Mahomes twenty eighteen. 18 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson was better than him and Mahomes was really 19 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: good last night. Yes, well said, you know, people give 20 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 1: me a hard time because I'm always so high on 21 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,320 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, and you know, most of the time they 22 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: believe it is because I played for the Seahawks and Nate, 23 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: you're just being a Homer stitch in the Championships, him 24 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: being clutch. And last week I was talking about Pat 25 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: Mahomes going in and playing at a high level. But 26 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: he's playing in Seattle, which is a difficult place to play. 27 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: But he's also playing against Russell Wilson, who, just like 28 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: you're saying, Peter is the original version of Pat Mahomes. 29 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: Everything that he was able to do, extending the plays 30 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: with his feet like we're seeing right here, always keeping 31 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: his eyes upfield. The fact that there's so much open space, 32 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: given that Russell Wilson is an athletic quarterback, that shows 33 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: that people have so much respect. Defenders have so much 34 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: respect for his arm. It's everything that we compliment all 35 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: the great quarterbacks for. That's where Russell Wilson was yesterday. 36 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 1: So this is the month of December. Of course they 37 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: took that last week, but being able to bounce back 38 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: and figure out who they are and Russell Wilson understanding 39 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: that I'm one of the best quarterbacks in the damn 40 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: league and I'm not going to let some young puck 41 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: come in on my home field in a time where 42 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: I need to get this win. So credit the Russell Wilson. 43 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: Credit to the Seahawks. It seems like everybody on this 44 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: teammate plays. Oh and not to mention, they rushed for 45 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 1: another two hundred yards. So if you're gonna win in December, 46 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: you're gonna win in January. Better play good, d a 47 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: better quarterback, and then take care of the ball. You 48 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: got to be able to run the rock, and they 49 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: did that. That's just it right. There's a remedy for 50 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 1: humbling these high powered, high tempo offenses, and it is 51 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: time of possession, which is what they had. It's what 52 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 1: the Ravens did and they almost beat the Chiefs at Arrowhead. 53 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: The Bronchos did it as well, running those two hundred yards. Carson, 54 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: he's Chris Carson's a thousand yards running back, a thousand yards. 55 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: I'm reading he's got a week to go and he 56 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: didn't even starts the season, So that's impressive in and 57 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: of itself. It's keep the ball out of mahomes hands. 58 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: If they didn't have at the time of the possession 59 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: battle was thirty five to twenty five running. When you 60 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: limit Patrick Mahomes's opportunities, it's the mistake the fumbles, the 61 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: Damien Williams fumble that are magnified. It made so much 62 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: better and bigger. This is a scary, scared team going 63 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: into it, and really an impressive team all season long, 64 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: given just how the graduation and how they started. Yeah, 65 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 1: and that's the thing, Like this, this is the most 66 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: wonderful time of the year. It really is, because I 67 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: all I care about is what have he done? Like 68 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: I don't care that Seattle lost the Denver on September ninth. 69 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: That's that's a different era. It's a different eternity. They've 70 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: won five of six games. And I look at Russ. 71 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: Russ is like the crampus, like he's terrifying. Or you're 72 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: you're at home right now, you're a Rams fan, a 73 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys fan, abarrass but you're watching the hell You're like, 74 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: I don't want any part of that. I don't want 75 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: Russ in my building. Give me something, give me anybody 76 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: else than Russ right now. And I feel like it 77 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: is true, like him looking at my homes from homes 78 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: looking at him. It was like Christian Bale being like, well, 79 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: Michael Keaton was a badass back, you know what I mean, Like, 80 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 1: I'm pretty good at myself, but that was really good. 81 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: I'm watching it at home. It's terrified. It's the crampus. 82 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: I don't want him coming to my stadium. Russ. Yeah, 83 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: I'm a boy. The way Pete Carroll unbelievable, right on fire, 84 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: give me anybody right now. I don't want to play them. 85 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: I'm out. And we can't talk about them being scary 86 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: without mentioning Bobby Wagner, who was all over the field 87 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: again yesterday tackling everything in his way. Also, we talked 88 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: about this last week when you guys were out, Doug 89 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: Baldwin being back over the last two weeks, it was 90 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: a bit two dimensional. They were running the ball or 91 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: they were taking deep shots of Tyler Lockett, Doug Baldwin 92 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: his security blankets back in the intermediate game, complete team. 93 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: It's looking like we'll say this right now, that Chief's 94 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: defense isn't winning any games in January. That Chiefs they 95 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: make a stop, make a stop, stop them. One time 96 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,800 Speaker 1: they couldn't make a single stop against the Chargers when 97 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: they're up for to seeing crazy that Chris Jones own's 98 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: crazy sack streak Aleve And it still doesn't matter if 99 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 1: the hottestass rusher for an individual fantasy It doesn't matter 100 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: right for Pro Bowl nods. But I mean that defense 101 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: couldn't stop a thing when it mattered the last two weeks. 102 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: They will not win a game in January unless that 103 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: defense get solved. Yeah, and Chris Jones wasn't even a 104 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. He's not even in the not even in 105 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 1: the Bob. Don't look now, folks. Foles has the most 106 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 1: passing yards in a single game in Eagles history with 107 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: four hundred and seventy one yards. Okay, played out of 108 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: his mind, Darren Sproles doing his thing. Are we feeling 109 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: the magic of Saint Nick? But I was not until yesterday. 110 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,359 Speaker 1: And this team has this energy that they did not have. 111 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: It is absolutely incredible. A flip has switched, no question. 112 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: You know, I'm listening to Nick Foles talking. He said, 113 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: just enjoying wearing this jersey. Kind of feel like he's 114 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: playing himself into a big contract somewhere else. But we'll 115 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: get to that a little bit later now. As far 116 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: as right now. When we got the news that Nick 117 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: Foles was going to be back in the lineup, it 118 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: was the same response to when we got the news 119 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: last year and people were shaking their heads saying, ah, 120 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 1: you know Nick Foles. I mean the guy was he 121 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: was average in the preseason. I mean we didn't know 122 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: what he had this year. Carson Wentz is the man, 123 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: and yet here they are with a chance to make 124 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 1: a magical run. Now we got to figure out what 125 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 1: happens next week. But as for right now, this team 126 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: is doing something special around him. And what I try 127 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 1: to encourage people last week is don't go on what 128 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 1: you think about what a backup is. Think about what 129 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: opposing teams see when they look at Nick Foles. They 130 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: don't see a number two quarterback. They see a guy 131 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: that went on a magical runing last year, who was 132 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl winner, super Bowl MVP. So for me, 133 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 1: it's what the team sees and what other teams see. 134 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: They see a damn good quarterback. Forget the title hangovers hit, 135 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: that doesn't matter. I look at the last year when 136 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: he won the Super Bowl MVP. He said, don't you know, 137 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: don't look at my story and not see that I failed. 138 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: I failed, and I needed to fail to do this. 139 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: And then I look at this story this year, and 140 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: what he's saying there is, don't worry about next week, 141 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: don't even worry about the future, and I don't worry 142 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: about where there I'm an Eagle next year. Let's just 143 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: enjoy the moment. I feel like some of football's best 144 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: stories are coming from Nick Foles in different vessels. Like 145 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: last year's Super Bowl run was the story of a 146 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: man stepping up into an opportunity. In capturing the opportunity, 147 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: this story is about always being ready and enjoying and 148 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 1: seizing the moment like he's got. It's such a beautiful story, 149 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 1: and he's had such a beautiful message, and his play 150 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: is so beautiful out there. It's hard even if you 151 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 1: were a diehard Redskins, Cowboys are Giants fan not to 152 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: at least love the narrative of Nick Foles. I find 153 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: this to be the most inspiring story the last few weeks, 154 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: and I find him as this wonderful vessel for all 155 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: of us to look to. I know this sounds very, 156 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 1: very emotional, and it seems very very outside the box 157 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: for what I usually talk which is football Oxes and 158 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: Oh's gossip. Just the story alone is so beautiful. And 159 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: this man has now given us this run last year 160 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: in January and February, and now this story the past 161 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: two weeks where it's hey, enjoy the moment, make the 162 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,080 Speaker 1: most of it, and sees the day. I love his 163 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: story and I love what he represents. It's Josh Groban 164 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: sings everything you need if you just believe. I believe 165 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: my five year old son, Calvin believes so hard in 166 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 1: Santa Claus. He's coming tonight, He's coming down the chimney. 167 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: The magic is there. I believe in Nick Foles the 168 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 1: exact same way, and so did the teammates. So did 169 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. Jalen Mills has become the sort of 170 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: spokesman for the defense. Tweets after the game, Foles false 171 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: false got five thousand retweets. They got a shrine. The 172 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: defense lights it. You know, it's there's I feel like 173 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz's mom and Nick Foles's dad, and a lot 174 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: of people on Christmas Day their parents are divorced. Mine 175 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: where you go to mom's house, you get a dad's house. 176 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: Sometimes there's just a different energy and there's a different magic, 177 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: and there's a different caliber of presence, and there's a 178 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: different special Christmas Day. They believe in Dad so much. 179 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 1: This is a different team. Gars Win is a great player. 180 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: This is a different team in December with folks. They're 181 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: gonna beat the Redskins next week. That's done. They're winning 182 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: that game. The questions, they're going to get help, I believe. 183 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: I agree with you. So they're eight and seven. They'd 184 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: be in with a win over the Redskins and a 185 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 1: Vikings loss to the Bears. So they do need a 186 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: little bit more help. What does it mean about mom? 187 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: Mom's great mother. It's great that they're winning. With the 188 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: more that they win, the murky or this quarterback situation 189 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: becomes where are you at with it? Raise the moment? 190 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,280 Speaker 1: Join custody is a complicated thing, okay, but right, we'll 191 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: deal with We'll deal with mom in the in the 192 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: long run. No question for everybody who's yearning for a 193 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: little xs and knows the reason why he was able 194 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: to put up their franchise record of for seventy one. 195 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,439 Speaker 1: Nick Foles is a pure passer. He's not looking to 196 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 1: run some wine. He extends the pocket with his feet, 197 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: but oftentimes that's untimed plays. Nick Foles is all about timing, 198 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: so receivers know if I get out my route in 199 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: my break, I can catch this ball one time and 200 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: they get big plays. That's why this offense is thriving. 201 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 1: That's why they goes around him. We're like, hey, we 202 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: got Nick Foles. That means we're gonna put up. I've 203 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: been a believe in Foles since I sold last year. 204 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: Like straight up. He makes you wonder if we had 205 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: an extra two weeks in the NFL season, what we 206 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,079 Speaker 1: could do. It almost is a shame that it's them 207 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: or the Vikings and they gotta wait like folds amazing. 208 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 1: Last year was a hot hand. It's a hot team. 209 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 1: You know, he's just riding a wave. They were already good. 210 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 1: This year's different, though, there was a lot of turmoil 211 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 1: up and down. This wasn't a great team. Dance Foles 212 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: come in and steal the MVP? Can he do it? 213 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: Can you take it from the host? Come on time? 214 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: He can win the super Bowl. You give you a 215 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: hoist in that Lombardo though, you get a second statue 216 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: of nice like hot wheels under the tree, and now 217 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: you want like a monster truck Want Dance Dance Revolution that. Now, 218 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: of course you've got the Cowboys. They're clinching the NFC 219 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 1: East for the second time in three seasons. They are 220 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: locked into that four seed, which I kind of like 221 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: because this team's probably going to get some rest in 222 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,839 Speaker 1: Week seventeen. The win was cool. How confident are you 223 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: guys in Dallas going forward? Kyle semi confident. The first 224 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: things first, there was no big collapse. It didn't happen. 225 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: We've talked about it, players have taunted them about it. 226 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: Peters broke down the objective history of it happening. It 227 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 1: didn't happen. You know, that game was I thought it 228 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 1: was not their best game, And who cares when they're 229 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: at home hosting a home playoff game. No one's gonna 230 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: matter how sloppy they were against Tampa. My question is 231 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 1: is the offense good enough? I love that defense, but 232 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: there's this idea that can they flip the switch? Not really. 233 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: They run the ball and Dack's pretty good and they 234 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: played great defense. If that's gonna be enough, because look, 235 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: if they play ross, we call them the Crampus earlier 236 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: in the show. You're not to mess up against show 237 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: up with your C game or B game against Ross, 238 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: you're gonna lose, so TBD. But most importantly they're in 239 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 1: huge congrats. The defense is really good and Layton vander 240 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: esh and Jalen Smith both were excellent after bad weeks 241 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: against the Coles. But neither one of those guys made 242 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. We talk a lot about the Dallas linebackers. 243 00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: They didn't make the Pro Bowl, so I wonder if 244 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: that was kind on their shoulders saying hey, let's go 245 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: have it. But to get Randy Gregory and MALIEK Collins 246 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: and Antoine Woods, this is what's gonna win them playoff games. 247 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: We know that Dak and Zeke can do enough to 248 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: put points on the board, but if they're going to 249 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: do anything in January, it's that defense. And Jalen Smith 250 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: had maybe his best day of the season. I look, 251 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 1: there was a late touchdown by the Buccaneers and you 252 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: could say, well it's a close game. This was never 253 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: really in doubt and the Dallas defense controlled it from go. 254 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 1: So to me, yes, don't have confidence in them, Yes, 255 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: because I think defense wins in the playoffs. But is 256 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 1: that team going to go into a New Orleans or 257 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: into an la and put. That's asking a lot because 258 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: I don't know if that offense score enough points. Yes, 259 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: one hundred percent. I'm confident in there. Yeah. I feel 260 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 1: like in today's day and age of football, were so 261 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: caught up in winning a fifty point game and five 262 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: touchdowns and that's a great game for some reason. No, 263 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 1: sometimes you go out and you control the game for 264 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,719 Speaker 1: start to finish. Dak Prescot completed eighty percent of his 265 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: past Don't apologize for the win, right, yeah, don't apologize 266 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:57,599 Speaker 1: for the win anything. And I will say it was 267 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 1: a good win. And they played a good game. Three 268 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 1: sets with a return for a TV on the scoop 269 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: and score. And when you look at what they did 270 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: on defense, you met Layton Vanders fifteen tackles. That's a 271 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,319 Speaker 1: complete game machine. Zet rushed for over one hundred yards. 272 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: What do you do in December and January? Take care 273 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: of the rock? Dak Prescott did that? Get a running 274 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: back that can run, they go over one hundred yards, 275 00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,000 Speaker 1: defense plays well, gets after the quarterback, create turns. They 276 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 1: did everything. So forget the points, forget who they played. 277 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: That was a great game played by the Cowboys and 278 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: they got the dub Consistency is the issue here, right, 279 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 1: That's why we can't go You're saying semi confident because 280 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: it's consistency with Dak Prescott, the offense, defense played awesome. 281 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: I'm totally a believer in this team because they got 282 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not easy to get a win late 283 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 1: in the season. They got one at no point in 284 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 1: these four quarters that I think they were going to 285 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 1: lose the game, not even once. And they get to 286 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: host a game at home in Jerry World where they 287 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: are seven and one this season. Low key home field 288 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: manage is huge for these Cowboys going into the playoffs. 289 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: It's gonna be a good one. I like them. I 290 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: don't know if I love them, like I can't love everybody. 291 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: You know, I think they can win a playoff. Who 292 00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: I love last night the Seahawks. You know who the 293 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: Cawbos will probably play at first art of Seahawks. So 294 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: you know, I'm saying they're gonna beat Seattle and Russell. 295 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: Every team is good now, I know, like the playoffs 296 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: that the good guys, don't. You look at the Seahawks 297 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,000 Speaker 1: and the Niners beat the Sea I mean, it's just 298 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: you never know, they built to win in the playoffs. Absolutely, 299 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: I think we can all agree on that. Looking at 300 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: the NFC playoff picture. The Saints clinched the top seed. 301 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: They get home field advantage throughout. They are not leaving 302 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: New Orleans until maybe they go to Atlanta. We'll see 303 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: how it all shakes out in this conference, of course, 304 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: because takeaway it's from yesterday's performance. Kyle. You know, I 305 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 1: have a confession. On my Friday show this past I 306 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: kind of made fun of you guys a little bit, 307 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 1: like I poked fun at you because I always rolled 308 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: my eyes at the hero worshiping of the Superdome, like 309 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,000 Speaker 1: we look at that place somewhere like Stonehenge and Wakonda 310 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: and Bethlehem and the Vatican, like the Swiss guarden to security, 311 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: and there's white smoke. When the Saints win, it's a 312 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: little much for me. And yet I'm sitting there in 313 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: that fourth quarter when the Steelers have the ball in Roethlisberger, 314 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,560 Speaker 1: I could not believe the atmosphere. I think I needed 315 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: a refresher on the hour of the Superdome. It's really 316 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: that big, and I'm listening to it. It's at home. 317 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: It's the afternoon. Brooks sitting next to me. She's like, 318 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: those people are maniacs. That's an exact quote from my 319 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: wife about the Saints fans. Every Saints player on offense 320 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: is saying, get up, get up, get up, and I'm 321 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: just picturing it. Roethlisberger was one thing. I'm picturing Trubisky 322 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 1: or Dak Could Russell Wilson one of those guys going 323 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: in there against that crowd. I think I kind of 324 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: became a believer. I went to the Supernome. I saw 325 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: the ninety two Sugar Bowl Notre Dame versus Florida Jerome 326 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: bettist for Shane Matthews, and that was about twenty six 327 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 1: years ago. I am now a believer. It's going to 328 00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 1: be almost impossible for them to lose there. My takeaway 329 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: from this game is that Ted I was waiting for 330 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,479 Speaker 1: Ted Ginn to come back. Because it's not a coincidence 331 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: that Michael Thomas since Week nine has not had one 332 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: hundred yard game. He did again yesterday. This is the 333 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: guy who can stretch the field, take the top off 334 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: the defense, open things up underneath. We know all of that, 335 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 1: but the fact that no other receiver outside of Michael 336 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: Thomas in this offense were Drew brees throws and it's 337 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: known for having such a great offense, had even four 338 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: hundred receiving arms outside of Michael Thomas. Ted Gain being 339 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: back was huge. He made some huge plays here, especially 340 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: the game winning drive third and twenty catch over the middle, 341 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: picks up the twenty five yards and seals the deal. 342 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 1: So ted Gain being back, we haven't seen him since 343 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: week four. He was put on ir with a designation 344 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: to return in week seven. Crushing it right now and 345 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: now the offense is going to click on all cylinders. 346 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 1: It's very similar in my opinion, different positions, different styles, 347 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: but to what Doug Baldwin means to that, just having 348 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: that last piece to make to fulfill the puzzle. Yeah, 349 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: he's definitely a big part of this offense and just 350 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: a pure speed that he comes with and his ability 351 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: to go out there and run every route on the 352 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,640 Speaker 1: field of the evolution take again, came in as a returner, 353 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,720 Speaker 1: athletic receiver and now is a true Bowls doing a 354 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: snak shout out again. But to your point, the crowd noise, 355 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: no one else makes them special. Is they're smart as well, 356 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: because when the Saints are on offense, they're calm, Drew 357 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,800 Speaker 1: Brees gives a couple of dase in the crowd of silence, 358 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: So shout out to that crowd out there for me. 359 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: Regardless if Mike Thomas goes off or if Drew Brees 360 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: doesn't have the game that he needs to have, they 361 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: have a running game that anchors the squad. Albun Kamara, 362 00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: mark Ingram, and we've been talking about it all year. 363 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: Albun Kamara once again, one hundred plus scrimmage yards in 364 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: this one, two tds. He have four receptions, four receptions 365 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: for eighty two yards, and it's casual and we kind 366 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 1: of look past it. But he's not a receiver guy, 367 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: so him having eighty two yards isn't something we should 368 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 1: casually talk about. He has eighteen tds on the season, 369 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: that right there is tied for the single season record 370 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: for the Saints. Now let's go to his running mate, 371 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: mark Ingram, who's an absolute monster. A dude passed Duce 372 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,640 Speaker 1: Mccauster for fifty tds and franchise history. So he has 373 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: these two guys breaking records on records, whether it's the 374 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 1: Grand Scheme record where you look at album Kamara or 375 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: the franchise record of mark Ingram they're going into each 376 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: week thinking to themselves, if Drew Brees doesn't have a day, 377 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,240 Speaker 1: lean on us. We got you. And this is December January. 378 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: I'll keep saying it. If you got running backs and 379 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: could play defense and a quarterback that takes care of 380 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: the ball, you have a chance to make a Super 381 00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: Bowl run. Building Absolutely. The story for me was the 382 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,360 Speaker 1: fake punt and the Steelers they're up by four points. Okay, 383 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,479 Speaker 1: it's fourth and five, there's four minutes left, and they 384 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: call it fake punt and Roosevelt nicks Texas. He thinks 385 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: he got the first down. He does it, and I 386 00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 1: just want to strike. Say, they're up by four, so 387 00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: you punt this in coffin corner. This you played the 388 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: field positions. What you're saying, No, I'm not. I'm defending 389 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: it because Drew Breeze is gonna get the ball back regardless. 390 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 1: Why not go for it here? Like to me, this 391 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,680 Speaker 1: was I'd rather have my offense on the field and 392 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: give him another shot and have Ben Roethlisberger be able 393 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 1: to put it in the end zone, then punt it 394 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: and give Drew Brees a chance to come right back 395 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: down and take the lead. I'm okay with it. Look 396 00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: earlier this season, I came on the show on a 397 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: Monday morning and did flips praising Sean McVay for calling 398 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: on fourth and two in Seattle when they were up 399 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: four points on their own forty two yard line, calling 400 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: this play and saying, let's sneak it instead of punt it. 401 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 1: It's it was fourth and two, this was fourth and five. 402 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 1: It's on the road, and I didn't want to give 403 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: the ball back to Russell Wilson then, and I don't 404 00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,159 Speaker 1: want to give the ball back to the position game bro, 405 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: feel your defense cannot stop them. Okay, this is what 406 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,640 Speaker 1: I would point out. I think these coaches get paid 407 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 1: big money to have a feel for the game, like 408 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: there's a sixth sense. The prior three possessions that Steel 409 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,399 Speaker 1: was playing great, it was three and out. I'm not 410 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 1: giving playing well, it's a four minute you'd rather just 411 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: go for it with Rossisburger. You're gonna direct direct out 412 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: the Roosevelt. Had they had it, they didn't have there. 413 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 1: It's almost there. I know, I'm okay with it. I 414 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: just think that hindsight is twenty twenty and on Twitter 415 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: everyone was clabbering Tomlin get if they convert it. We're 416 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: doing flips for Tomlin today, like I love the comody. 417 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: Didn't convert it. They didn't convert it. But you're on 418 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: the road and your season's on the line. Let's go 419 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: for it. Let's live another day. I'm okay with it. 420 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: If anything, I'd say the officiating was a little spotty. 421 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 1: You want to get in here. I don't know, I 422 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: don't How do you feel about roseveld next celebrating it 423 00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,720 Speaker 1: when he didn't get it? It was swaggy, p dude, 424 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:58,359 Speaker 1: it was swaggy tell me. But now the Steelers they 425 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: can only realistically get into the playoffs where they win 426 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: the division, and if the Ravens lose, they need the Steelers. 427 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: Steelers fans have to be Browns fans, which is the 428 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: strangest thing they've ever heard, But the Steelers fans have 429 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: to be all in on the Browns this weekend and 430 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: the Ravens. The Ravens last year lost a week seventeen 431 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: at home to a Cincinnati team that another to play for. 432 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,879 Speaker 1: This Browns team is a lot better than that Bengals, 433 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 1: and they have to beat the Bengals this week. They 434 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 1: got to win, and they win the division, and then again, 435 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 1: that's the only way that they have a home playoff game. Whoa, 436 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,639 Speaker 1: we'll see how we got to talk more about that. 437 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: I think that fake punts sucked. You had Jared Goffs 438 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback, you went for it. Roosevelt Nicks is 439 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,439 Speaker 1: deciding your season. I hated it. Steelers though, sitting here 440 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 1: at eight and six and one, Shrigs, they can only 441 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,719 Speaker 1: realistically win by winning the division. So they'd win if 442 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: the Ravens lose to the Browns in Week seventeen and 443 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: these Steelers win over the Bengals to wrap up the 444 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: regular season, so they that's Wilson. After they beat the Patriots, 445 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: I feel like everybody was celebrating that win like it 446 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: was a super Bowl, like they were good. And I 447 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: said it last because like, no, no, no, they easily 448 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 1: could be on the outside looking in. So we'll talk 449 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 1: about the Steelers and the confidence we have in them. Well, 450 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: let's open it up to the entire AFC, because things 451 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: got shaken a little bit here in Week sixteen. Looking 452 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,359 Speaker 1: ahead to the finale of the regular season, which is 453 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 1: the team that you think is playing the best football 454 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,159 Speaker 1: right now? Yep, things got shaken. Kay, you're right, And 455 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: just like James Bond drink, the Patriots shaken, but the 456 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 1: nine stirred. We're gonna keep on moving. Here they are 457 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 1: in the month of December, and I'm going with the Patriots. 458 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: This is the team that I would love to see 459 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: make their run because this is the time of year 460 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: where they make play after play after play. And now 461 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,200 Speaker 1: I know you're thinking, well, Nate, tom Brady isn't playing 462 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: that well and this month has been a struggle. Okay, 463 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: you're right. They're two and two. Tom Brady has thrown 464 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: six tds and four interceptions. But he's been in this 465 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: situation before. In the month of December last year, six tents, 466 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: five interceptions. Month of December he goes eight tds, zero 467 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 1: interceptions in the playoffs, makes a run to the Super Bowl. 468 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: All right, let's take you back two thousand and four. 469 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 1: He has a tds, five interceptions month of December. People 470 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: are saying, how you know he's throwing picks, not take 471 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 1: care of the ball. My man hits the playoff run 472 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,640 Speaker 1: five t d zero interceptions, he wins a Super Bowl. 473 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: I'll take you back to his first year as a starter, 474 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: two thousand and one, he had one TD three interceptions 475 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: in the month of December. People saying Patriots, tom Brady 476 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: looking lunk, he's struggling. He goes on to win his 477 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,560 Speaker 1: first Super Bowl. So for everybody sitting back saying, well, 478 00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: Tom Brady doesn't look like Tom Brady and he's Patriots, 479 00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: they're just not clicking. They've been here before. They are 480 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: the best in the league at self correcting and fixing things. 481 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,479 Speaker 1: So if you're going with the hottest team, One, they 482 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: got the Dub so let's not apologize for a victory. 483 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: And two, it's the month of December, and we know 484 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 1: who plays well in December. In January, it's going to 485 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 1: be the new England Patriot. It was a great history lesson. 486 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: I'm glad we went back to two thousand and one. Yeah, 487 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: they're asking who's the best team right now? Yeah, and 488 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: the Patriots are not the best. They haven't been playing 489 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: the best football right now. They got the Dubs, strikes, 490 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,880 Speaker 1: they beat the Buffalo Bills, they lost last week. Don't 491 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,679 Speaker 1: apologize for a victory. Who might win the Super Bowl? Now, 492 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: I'll give you an alternative battle. Can you offer a 493 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: they didn't play bad? Nate, they didn't play bad. You're 494 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: asking me who's playing the basketball right now? Spun in 495 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 1: the case said here four hunts. I was saying they 496 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: didn't play amazing, they played, they played r I would 497 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,399 Speaker 1: offer a nemesis of theirs for years that is now 498 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: finally hitting their stride in a way that no other 499 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 1: team is playing in the NFL, the Baltimore Ravens. On 500 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: Saturday night, the Ravens put on a national showcase game 501 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: what they can do in the playoffs, and that was 502 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 1: destroy a team. Destroy a team with defense and with 503 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: a running game that will suck the life out of you. 504 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: This defense was already entering this game as the number 505 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: one and yards against and points gains where they hadn't 506 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: had that that game changing moment. How about the final 507 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,440 Speaker 1: ten minutes of the game. Phil Rivers is sacked twice 508 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: and they turned the ball over twice and the Ravens 509 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 1: absolutely annihilated the Chargers in their building. And what's so 510 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: crazy is we talked about the defense, and we're gonna 511 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 1: talk about the defense all week. The offense sucks the 512 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: life out of you two because they have these long 513 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: sustained drives and the clock ticks tick tick, six ticks 514 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: and you cannot prepare for it because no other team 515 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 1: is playing this way. Whereas all these other teams are 516 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: playing about offense and fireworks, the Ravens are playing and 517 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 1: it's entirely different sport right now. Yeah, they're playing a 518 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: sport that the rest of the league has to prepare 519 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: for it an entirely different way. Who's playing the best 520 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: football right now? They're five one in their last six games. 521 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: It's ugly as hell to watch. It is not pretty 522 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 1: to watch. It is not something you're racing to see. 523 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: But it's win. It's quality football, though it sure is. 524 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: It's like Navy or it's like a Georgia Tech, or 525 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: even like football from the forties. Ten yard fight, and 526 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: I'm here for it. I loved it. I was there Saturday. 527 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: The vibe is a defense that is feeling itself in 528 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: an offense that looks to their quarterback and says, we're 529 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: all in with you, and the coaching staff is completely 530 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: committed to this brand of football. I get excited because 531 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 1: I love things that are different. I love outliers, I 532 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: love disruptors. Everyone in the league is going this way. 533 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 1: The Ravens are going this way, and those are utually 534 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,639 Speaker 1: the teams that have them after the game, don't know. 535 00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,159 Speaker 1: Why do you want to play us? No, and no 536 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: one does. There's no answer for there's no way to 537 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: stop them. You know what you have to do to 538 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: stop the Ravens, stop the run. Nobody can do it. 539 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: Isn't that incredible When you know what's coming in you 540 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: still can't. That feels like a mic drop for me. 541 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: The team is playing the best right now. If it 542 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 1: weren't for the Indianapolis Colts, and if you're not watching 543 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 1: them and you're on the periphery, you know, you know 544 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 1: luck and you know t Y. You know that this 545 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 1: defense they shut out the Cowboys and then say Quan 546 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: comes in, it gets about twenty one times for forty 547 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: three yards. Say Quon's the longest run of six yards. 548 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: That doesn't happen to say Quon. Anthony Costanzo, the long 549 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,240 Speaker 1: time tackle for the Colts, said, I can't put my 550 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: finger on it. There's something special happening here. It reminds 551 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: me of Andrew's rookie year that was when they went 552 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 1: from two and fourteen all the way to the playoffs. 553 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: It's a fascinating thing that happened. Indianapolis Star has a story. 554 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 1: The Colts were very late coming out for halftime. They're losing, 555 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,120 Speaker 1: They're playing terribly. They're losing to the Giants, Like, where 556 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:47,879 Speaker 1: are the Colts? It's almost a problem. Turns out Andrew 557 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: Luck said enough of this and screamed at the team. 558 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: You may not think if Andrew Luck like that and 559 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 1: using words like this is pathetic. We're embarrassing ourselves right there. 560 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:58,880 Speaker 1: All the guys came out after the game and said, 561 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: you've never seen Luck like you half for years, I've 562 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 1: never seen that. He was pissed, he was angry, pathetic. 563 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: We're embarrassing ourselves. This is my team. We're going and 564 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: the scenarios are simple, guys, The scenarios are very simple. 565 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: You played the Titans week seventeen. We'll say this all week. 566 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck has never lost the Titans in his career. 567 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,880 Speaker 1: You beat the Titans, You're going to the playoffs after 568 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: one in five start. I'll echo Costanzo's comments, there's something 569 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: special going here. Watch a Colts game. It's intangible, but 570 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: as contagious as hell. I like the Texans. They've lost 571 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,639 Speaker 1: two the last three. The Chiefs have lost back to 572 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: back games. I'm going to stick with my Chargers. One 573 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: loss does not define new and if they brought their 574 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,920 Speaker 1: a game against the Ravens and they lost, I'd be worried. 575 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: They didn't. They did not show up. They did not 576 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: look good. They had such brutal penalties and mistakes made 577 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: in crucial moments of this game. The offensive line obviously 578 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: took a step back, but they are still Let's not 579 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:50,719 Speaker 1: forget they're still in play for the one seat here 580 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: if they can still lock that up. With the Chiefs 581 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 1: not playing well, Melvin Gordon did not look one hundred percent. 582 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: Hopefully he gets a little bit of rest, maybe he 583 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: gets a little bit healthier. I don't know. What they 584 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 1: did against the Ravens was not great, but the Chargers, 585 00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: to me still have the most complete team in this 586 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: entire conference. And I think even the Patriots, and I 587 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,320 Speaker 1: thought about everything you just said, they still feel more 588 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: vulnerable to me. I think Philip Rivers, they had they 589 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: had a bad game. That's really what I think it 590 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: comes down to. I don't didn't lose faith in the Charge. 591 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: The only thing is interesting, like I don't know you 592 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: were with them, is what you were with them und 593 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: percent healthy? And I would I would go owner. I 594 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: just say that he didn't look he didn't look like 595 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: himself dominant, like they had nothing. I don't think a 596 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 1: receiver made a play. It was. It was a complete 597 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: destruction of a team. And I will say this about 598 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: the Chargers. They're really really good at a lot of things. Yeah, 599 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're great at anything. And sometimes 600 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 1: really really good at a lot of things. Can get 601 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: it done, and it might get it done. But do 602 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: they have that great Like a team came in with 603 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 1: their philosophy and said we're gonna play Ravens football, and 604 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 1: the Chargers had no counter for them. They had a 605 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: great what do you mean. They have a great offense, 606 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: they have a great deal. They're just good. They almost 607 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 1: won the game. They were on a game winning jobs 608 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: and Antonio Gates fumbled the ball. Like they were there 609 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 1: you just talked about. Yeah, they didn't get annihilated, is 610 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,960 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. In your eyes, they did destroy They 611 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: played Ravens, they tried playing Ravens. Feel like the score 612 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily reflect the fight. They're a fantastic team. What 613 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: I've said this week, every team is laid an egg. 614 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: We've seen it. We've seen the Colts too. We've seen 615 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots to I think that we do. I think 616 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,520 Speaker 1: they got smacked around the other night. I don't want 617 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 1: to Ravens right before the playoffs. To play the Ravens 618 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: is the moral of the story. The Chargers could be 619 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: just fine for the Chargers. Get that out of the 620 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,640 Speaker 1: way and lay it so to have that game though, 621 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. We're almost here Week sixteen, 622 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,959 Speaker 1: so many good performances and ends in out Nate. Who 623 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: won the week? In your eyes? For me, it's Nick 624 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: Foles um. The major numbers that will stand out as 625 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: the four hundred and seventy one yards, which is a 626 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 1: franchise record, the four tds he played fantastic. But really, 627 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: I mean, we can show these highlights over and over again. 628 00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: But let me get my single shot real quick, because 629 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,120 Speaker 1: I don't need to talk football right now. I want 630 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 1: to talk Nick Foles and what he means. You know, Sregar. 631 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: He said it perfectly earlier that it's the storylines that 632 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: makes us fall in love with his game and what 633 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 1: is happening he parallels things that are going on in society. 634 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,200 Speaker 1: We all have labels that are placed on us. Whether's 635 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 1: because of our own circumstances, your circumstances. You're in school, 636 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: you're working a job. He's a backup quarterback traveled around. 637 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 1: Backups are backups, right, that's what they do, No backups. 638 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: It's just a label, and labels don't matter. It's just 639 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,360 Speaker 1: a title. And here's the thing. You can play within 640 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: the title that somebody puts you on, or when you 641 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: get an opportunity, you explode that title and kick that 642 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: door down and make sure that they have to give 643 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 1: you something else. Only title that matters right now is 644 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: the title that he won and possibly to Tidd that 645 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,040 Speaker 1: he's gonna win. Good who won the week for me? 646 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: I go back to Saturday night. The Ravens defense won 647 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: the weekend. Their defensive coordinator Don wink Martindale. He's looking 648 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: for the young, hot, sexy offensive next head coach. This 649 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: guy just suffocated the young, hot, sexy La Chargers and 650 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: did it an incredible fashion. That's what he looks like. Guys, 651 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 1: It's like Dog the Bounty Hunter if he was a 652 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: little cooler, a little edgier. Wayne Chapman, that's exactly right. 653 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: This is my guy. Wink a son as Leland Ravens 654 00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: defense looked amazing. But don Wink Martindale had them playing 655 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 1: and I'm telling you what, there was a chess match 656 00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: going on and the Ravens out did everything the Chargers tried. Wink. 657 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,680 Speaker 1: I see you. Sometimes we try to appreciate the teams 658 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 1: on our inner anymore. Can we just take a quick 659 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: second for Matt Bosher. This is the guy twitter. I 660 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: loved them sometimes as a punter, as a kicker, you 661 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: just can't take it anymore. We're not going to the playoffs. 662 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,400 Speaker 1: We're not going so bam at Boscher has twenty eight 663 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 1: career tackles, you know in Sebastian Janikowski in almost two 664 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 1: decades only as nineteen. Look at Bosher? Where is he from? Peter? 665 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 1: Oh no, but you Matt Bosch has had enough of this. 666 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: We're not playoffs, are going to the ground. Should win 667 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: the award. And by the way, then Matt Hack that 668 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: hawk also had a crazy tackle for the Dolphins, also 669 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 1: not going anywhere. He had at F five. I think 670 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 1: that was brock Lessner out there. So give the credit 671 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,080 Speaker 1: the kickers and their punnis they're due.

Nate, NFL Holiday Movie got 702 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: all right. So I was thinking about the New England 703 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: Patriots and them getting another first round five. So I 704 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 1: wanted to do this movie style in a world where 705 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: the first round by gives you a distinct advantage in 706 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,880 Speaker 1: the postseason. The New England Patriots once again have a 707 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,160 Speaker 1: chance to go to the super Bowl. Eight of their 708 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 1: Super Bowl runs and five of their Super Bowl victories 709 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: were with a first round by. I present to you 710 00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: from the makers of Home Alone, The Patriots Staycation, Hey 711 00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: let me get money poster that perfect listen you got. 712 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:15,000 Speaker 1: The Patriots once again having a first round by and 713 00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 1: we all know playing in Foxborough in the postseason is 714 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: as tough as it gets. Like I said, eight Super 715 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 1: Bowl runs, first round by those five Super Bowls of 716 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,800 Speaker 1: course first round by So once again we're in the 717 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: same position as we were. You think they're going to 718 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: stay home. I believe. I believe they are. Yeah, and 719 00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: once again the Patriots will have an advantage at home 720 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: in the in the playoffs. Shout out to the movie 721 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 1: voice guy don La. A lot of those worlds were nothing, 722 00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: as it seems like every world was nothing? Does it 723 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,320 Speaker 1: seems that's incredible? But in this world that's everything is 724 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:50,280 Speaker 1: with the Patriots as usual. Um. I used to read that. 725 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 1: I'll try. I used to read The Polar Express the 726 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:54,960 Speaker 1: book when I was a kid, and it was this 727 00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,280 Speaker 1: incredible book and the pictures really magic. Then they made 728 00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 1: it into a movie. It's basically I don't how can 729 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: I say. It's this little brat who doesn't think Santa 730 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: Claus is real and he's coming into his own he's 731 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: trying to spread it to all the other kids of 732 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: Santa Claus isn't real, and he gets picked up. There's 733 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: this magical train that takes you to the North Pole 734 00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,360 Speaker 1: I'm looking at that train right now. I think that 735 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,920 Speaker 1: train is also up in the NFC North and they've 736 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: changed it. Now it's not the polar Express anymore. It's 737 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:24,560 Speaker 1: the scholars there. It is looking what the conductors had 738 00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: on Cousins and why is this person? Because first of all, 739 00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:29,960 Speaker 1: the two directors, you had Zimmer and you have Zemeckis 740 00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 1: both the z Man. And then in the movie, Tom 741 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 1: Hanks plays six different roles, and Cousins plays a lot 742 00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,560 Speaker 1: of roles too. He's the QB one, he's the motivator, 743 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: he's the dad. He tweeted out a picture of himself 744 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,240 Speaker 1: and his family. Oh my god, if you just close 745 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,400 Speaker 1: your eyes and think what Kirk Cousins wears on Christmas, 746 00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,440 Speaker 1: you nail it. Mackie's there's a blazer with Christmas. It's 747 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,560 Speaker 1: the Family's beautiful. But also in playing six roles, Tom Hanks, 748 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: there's a lot of different voices in the movies, and 749 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,800 Speaker 1: as we found out this past weekend, Kirk Cousins speaks 750 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,640 Speaker 1: in different voices too. Did you hear the clip of 751 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,719 Speaker 1: Cousins up at the line with his voice kicking up 752 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:07,239 Speaker 1: about twelve different octaves? The broadcasters were all over like, oh, 753 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: I guess his voice cracked a little bit. Cousins double 754 00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:11,960 Speaker 1: back and tweeted the clip with the laughing and moose. 755 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 1: You say, look, we'd sixteen. My voice finally broke. You know, 756 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,480 Speaker 1: he's up there in the cold. He's yelling he's got 757 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:18,920 Speaker 1: the baby at home as you get up in the 758 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: middle of the night. So his voice finally broke. So 759 00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,040 Speaker 1: I feel like that is him, That is Hanks in 760 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,840 Speaker 1: different voices. And really for the Vikings, it's just about belief. 761 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 1: Do you hear the bell? If you can't hear the bell, 762 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: you don't believe anymore. I think they hear the bell. 763 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:35,360 Speaker 1: And what was the theme song Josh Groban Believe? He 764 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:40,200 Speaker 1: literally sings, you have everything you need if you just believe. 765 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,920 Speaker 1: You got the defense, you got the home game, you 766 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,760 Speaker 1: got the quarterback, you're playing the Bears. If you just believe, 767 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 1: that's it, that's all you need. The scholar express nice 768 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,359 Speaker 1: on paper, it seems like it should be easy, right, Yeah, 769 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:54,960 Speaker 1: it's all there. Peter, Peter, do you hear the bell? 770 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,520 Speaker 1: Peter doesn't hear the bell? You don't hear the bell? 771 00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:00,279 Speaker 1: All right, I gotta see the bell before I hear Yes, 772 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,799 Speaker 1: what do you got out of Well, the only movie 773 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm watching is a movie people don't really put with 774 00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 1: the holidays. But it's gremlins. Anthony Lynn get it? Gremlin? 775 00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: Yeahs Anthony Lynn to me is light there he is. 776 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,360 Speaker 1: He's like Gizmo when it comes to the NFL, his 777 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,879 Speaker 1: chargers or the Gremlin's ready to recavoc on the AFC guys, 778 00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 1: He's broken every rule when it comes to take care 779 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,640 Speaker 1: of these gremlins. Never expose them to bright lights. He's 780 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,359 Speaker 1: done that. Where do they play now? Under the bright 781 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,160 Speaker 1: lights in Hollywood at the StubHub and of course in primetime? 782 00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: Never get them? What? Never get them? What's do it? 783 00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 1: What's the name of their quarterback? Philip Rivers? Coincidents? No, 784 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,000 Speaker 1: don't think so. Finally, never kick after midnight? Right? They 785 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:43,239 Speaker 1: used to blow kicks at the Witching Hour, Badgeley. I 786 00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,879 Speaker 1: think is solved that problem. So this movie might take 787 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: place during Christmas, but I have a feeling we'll still 788 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:54,239 Speaker 1: be seeing it on TV come February. Okay, I get 789 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,759 Speaker 1: it's a great film. Hey, you know it's funny Anthony 790 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,439 Speaker 1: Lyn on the show, and you start off by talking 791 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,759 Speaker 1: about all the terrible things people about his tea, and 792 00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:05,080 Speaker 1: then you make him a grimmer. He might be motivating him, 793 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: is what I'm trying to defense. He was a Mogway, 794 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,920 Speaker 1: not a grimmer. It's very lovable, very covided Pat. That's good, Pet, 795 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 1: Who's up next? You know so many Christmas movies, but 796 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,239 Speaker 1: I go back to the classics, and I think of 797 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,600 Speaker 1: all the NFL franchises, I'm thinking of a classic and 798 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 1: it's one of the weird deals where it's hard to 799 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 1: really grasp that the Chiefs are terrible at home in 800 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:34,560 Speaker 1: the playoffs. They're owen six in their last home playoff games. 801 00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 1: Everyone talked about this arrowhead mystique, and it's great. Tailgates hard. 802 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: Every time the Chiefs have a home playoff game, they 803 00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:42,760 Speaker 1: lose it. They lost last year in crazy fashion. Marcus 804 00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 1: Mariota basically threw the ball at the row revas and 805 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: bounce off his hands, caught it ran it. In the 806 00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,879 Speaker 1: year before that, there was another ridiculous collapse. So here's 807 00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 1: what I'm gonna say. Okay, it's time to believe. Okay, 808 00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 1: where there's others who are saying it's not real and 809 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,120 Speaker 1: that that guy's fraud and that guy's not the real Santa. 810 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:06,040 Speaker 1: That's your parents. Yeah, you know what, what I think 811 00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: we're ready for a miracle on Arrowhead Drive. And that 812 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:13,200 Speaker 1: is Santa Read, and that is Patrick Mahomes as the 813 00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,719 Speaker 1: young child who always believed it was really Santa. After all, 814 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: it was real santas he does. And I'll tell you 815 00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:23,759 Speaker 1: it would be nice if they can get a win. 816 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,480 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what the last two weeks, um, I 817 00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: kind of have the pulse of Chiefs fans. It is 818 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:30,759 Speaker 1: not what's going on fun two weeks? What's in their 819 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: head because the history and tissue comes again, the scar tissue, 820 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: it comes creeping in. What it's with these losses? Can 821 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: the defense can Bob and stop anything? That's what I'm 822 00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 1: getting a lot too. I said. Mahomes is the MVP. 823 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 1: Everyone said, of course he is, because Bob saw it 824 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,040 Speaker 1: so bad that of course he's got to do a 825 00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,279 Speaker 1: million thing. I'll just say this this year is gonna 826 00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:50,480 Speaker 1: be different. One Arrowhead Drive. You're gonna be hosting a 827 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,880 Speaker 1: playoff game, whether it be the Chargers or the Ravens 828 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 1: or the Steelers, whoever comes in that divisional round. Patrick 829 00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,920 Speaker 1: Mahomes is the real deal, and Andy Read is Santa. 830 00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,640 Speaker 1: There will be a gift. There will be a home 831 00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: Chiefs playoff victory, and we could put that narrative away. 832 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: All they have to do is beat the Raiders and 833 00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 1: they get the one seed, they get to stay at home. Right, 834 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,680 Speaker 1: that's it. They've had it before, Okay, Okay, Yeah, that 835 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,759 Speaker 1: feeling remains. Yeah, it's the sickening feeling for Chiefs fans 836 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,560 Speaker 1: that no matter what, our defense will not show up 837 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,200 Speaker 1: when it matters most and we cannot win at home. 838 00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 1: And it's been since nineteen ninety four since they have 839 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:26,399 Speaker 1: won a home playoff game. Their quarterback that day was Joe. 840 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 1: It's the same chorus the Patriots here. This year is 841 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,279 Speaker 1: different in the negative. Yeah, they tried the Chiefs down. 842 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,360 Speaker 1: This year is different in the positive. But is it? So? 843 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 1: The home is different every team goes through. So the 844 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:40,799 Speaker 1: Chargers are doing with the same thing. They just lost 845 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,320 Speaker 1: a game in the Ravens and they're like, here we go. 846 00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: We can't get it done. Fight history. Then you have 847 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,920 Speaker 1: to look at the Eagles last year. They can't get 848 00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: it done. They can't get it done. They win the 849 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,400 Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Sometimes you get over the hump, you just believe, 850 00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 1: like McCaulay, Culkin. Pet's going to be mahomes alone. It 851 00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,000 Speaker 1: is Nate, But who's going to be the wet Bandits? 852 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:00,719 Speaker 1: And is Andy to do with the show? What it's 853 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,400 Speaker 1: going knock the band good Old Man, Yeah, Old Man, 854 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:08,799 Speaker 1: Marle South Bend, the Lady bird Ladies too, right, Yeah, 855 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,879 Speaker 1: Part're getting out of there within two hours. I don't 856 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 1: think that's happening. Less than two hours to get out 857 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: of that parking lot. That is a miracle. Tyreek kills 858 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,840 Speaker 1: the bird Lady. Oh yeah. You know at the end 859 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: of America and thirty fourth Street. You know what guests 860 00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,319 Speaker 1: what Santa Claus brings them a house at the end 861 00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,160 Speaker 1: of America and thirty fourth Streight at home. I don't 862 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,359 Speaker 1: know Santa's pantaxas on that or how that works. It's 863 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: like ty Pennington, it's sort of a rip off. It's 864 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,560 Speaker 1: but that's what they need, a home win. As we 865 00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,200 Speaker 1: head into the final week of the regular season, there 866 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 1: are lots of scenarios that could shake up the final 867 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:41,719 Speaker 1: playoff picture Shrakes Peter Schrager use his beautiful playoff mind 868 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 1: to tell us about the Ravens playoffs scenarios. The Ravens 869 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,080 Speaker 1: had a notoriously heartbreaking finish to their twenty seventeen season 870 00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: in which a fourth and twelve from Andy. Don't want 871 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: to Tyler, Okay, okay, Ravens fans, you don't want to 872 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: hear that we've done it enough already. Day look winning in. 873 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,480 Speaker 1: The Ravens are in the playoffs. But that's not everything 874 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: you need to know about Baltimore's Week seventeen playoffs situation. 875 00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:05,680 Speaker 1: You guys want to hear all of them get into 876 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,320 Speaker 1: a Peter Come explain. First. The Ravens can be eliminated 877 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 1: if the dreaded happens, a Week seventeen loss to the 878 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,640 Speaker 1: Browns and a Steelers win over the Bengals. After that, though, 879 00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,960 Speaker 1: it's playoff options everywhere with Baltimore. Let's start with that 880 00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,879 Speaker 1: four seed. A win over the Browns or Steelers lost 881 00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: to the Bengals gives the Ravens the division title at 882 00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,719 Speaker 1: least one home playoff game. They get the four seed, 883 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:28,640 Speaker 1: they're hosting the Chiefs of the Chargers. Done and done. Oh, 884 00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:31,080 Speaker 1: but there's so much more than just that. Baltimore can 885 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:34,120 Speaker 1: also actually get the three seed if they beat the 886 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 1: Browns and the Texans lose to the Jaguars. And we 887 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: get anything other than a tie between the Colts and 888 00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: the Titans. If all that happens, the Texans would then 889 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:44,439 Speaker 1: get the sixth seed, the Colts of the Titans would 890 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 1: get the four seed, and the Ravens would get the 891 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,000 Speaker 1: three seed. With a head to head win over the 892 00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,400 Speaker 1: Titans and a better conference record than the Indianapolis Colts. 893 00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,200 Speaker 1: The guys keep calling. The Ravens could also get that 894 00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:55,920 Speaker 1: three seed with a win over the Browns and non 895 00:40:55,960 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 1: tie in the Colts Titans game, a Texans win over 896 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,239 Speaker 1: the Jags, and a Patriots lost to the Jets. If 897 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 1: that all happened, the Texans at eleven and five would 898 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 1: get the first round by, the Ravens would tie the 899 00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:07,640 Speaker 1: Patriots for the three seeds, and Baltimore would win the 900 00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 1: tiebreaker over New England with a better conference record. That's 901 00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,640 Speaker 1: good job, just getting stuck. The Ravens can actually get 902 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 1: the two seed also, yes too, who were four and 903 00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 1: five a few weeks back, and get a first round 904 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: by and a whole Roman divisional round. If the Ravens 905 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,520 Speaker 1: beat the Browns and the Texans lose and the Patriots 906 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,520 Speaker 1: lose and there's a not a tie in the Cults 907 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 1: Titans game, the Chiefs of the Chargers would get the 908 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,480 Speaker 1: one seed. The Ravens would get the two seeds the 909 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,359 Speaker 1: first round by with a head to head win over 910 00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:37,840 Speaker 1: the Titans, a better conference record than both the Patriots 911 00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,319 Speaker 1: and the Cults. Meanwhile, the Texans, who would be losing 912 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: two straight, would be the second wild card, and the 913 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,960 Speaker 1: Texans would get that sixth seed. All right, so you 914 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:49,720 Speaker 1: got all coming up after the break. There's a moment. Wow, 915 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,920 Speaker 1: it's a crazy scenario. We're both the Ravens and the 916 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: Steelers both make the playoffs. If the Ravens tie the 917 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,480 Speaker 1: Brown okay, and the Steelers beat the Bengals and the 918 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 1: Colts tie the Titans, the Steelers would win the division. 919 00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,960 Speaker 1: The Ravens would be the sixth seed, and because their 920 00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,359 Speaker 1: conference record would better than Indianapolis formerly the Baltimore Colts 921 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Cults, the Ravens would advance. So, including the Chiefs, 922 00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,840 Speaker 1: the Chargers, the Patriots, the Texans, the Ravens, the Steelers, 923 00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,239 Speaker 1: and the Colts and Titans games excluding ties, there are 924 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,399 Speaker 1: ninety six different scenarios that the Ravens can get either 925 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 1: the two, the three, or the fourth seed. Of course, 926 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: the easiest way. It's just beaten the darn Browns seventeen. 927 00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 1: Go get it done, Ravens. Just beat the Browns coup. 928 00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 1: Don worry about any of that, but yes, the Ravens. 929 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,239 Speaker 1: There are a lot of ways into the playoffs and 930 00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:45,200 Speaker 1: a lot of different chances they get in.
