We had three interesting games and then 63 00:02:49,188 --> 00:02:50,228 Speaker 1: we had a great one. 64 00:02:50,028 --> 00:02:50,868 Speaker 4: Handed we did. 65 00:02:51,308 --> 00:02:52,108 Speaker 3: Let's take a look at it. 66 00:02:52,188 --> 00:02:53,748 Speaker 1: You want to take a look at it, don't should 67 00:02:53,788 --> 00:02:55,508 Speaker 1: we go to the state of Michigan. If you know 68 00:02:55,628 --> 00:02:59,148 Speaker 1: this show, you know the storylines. Matthew Stafford used to 69 00:02:59,188 --> 00:03:03,748 Speaker 1: play for the Rams. Jared Goff, Well they switched places. 70 00:03:03,828 --> 00:03:06,948 Speaker 1: Stafford currently a Ram, Goff currently a Lion, and this 71 00:03:06,988 --> 00:03:08,948 Speaker 1: one got off and it was smooth and it clicked, 72 00:03:08,988 --> 00:03:10,908 Speaker 1: and it was not wildly one sided like every other 73 00:03:10,948 --> 00:03:17,948 Speaker 1: game all weekend. Lions win, Campbell wins, fans cry, McVeigh loses. Guys, 74 00:03:17,948 --> 00:03:21,388 Speaker 1: the Lions win a playoff game. This was by far 75 00:03:21,468 --> 00:03:23,388 Speaker 1: the most competitive game of the weekend. You thought it 76 00:03:23,468 --> 00:03:26,868 Speaker 1: might be close. It's a one point nail bier. And 77 00:03:26,908 --> 00:03:30,068 Speaker 1: guess what, the Rams are coming home again next weekend. 78 00:03:30,388 --> 00:03:33,508 Speaker 1: Let's hear from both quarterbacks, both head coaches. Listen to 79 00:03:33,588 --> 00:03:36,268 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell and Jared Goff and wait for Sean McVeigh 80 00:03:36,508 --> 00:03:37,748 Speaker 1: talking about Jared as well. 81 00:03:38,868 --> 00:03:42,228 Speaker 7: Thought he's played top notch football. You know, he probably 82 00:03:42,268 --> 00:03:44,788 Speaker 7: had two errors and everything else was I thought he 83 00:03:44,908 --> 00:03:47,388 Speaker 7: was on point. He looked loose, he looked relaxed. I 84 00:03:47,388 --> 00:03:49,588 Speaker 7: thought he threw the ball with conviction. He's one of 85 00:03:49,588 --> 00:03:52,188 Speaker 7: the reasons that we won this division and he's another 86 00:03:52,188 --> 00:03:54,228 Speaker 7: reason why we just won our first playoff game here 87 00:03:54,268 --> 00:03:54,948 Speaker 7: in thirty years. 88 00:03:54,988 --> 00:03:57,668 Speaker 8: So what a stud This place is special to me, 89 00:03:57,868 --> 00:04:00,348 Speaker 8: and I just said, these people are special. That's the 90 00:04:00,348 --> 00:04:02,188 Speaker 8: best home in atmosphere I've ever played in front of. 91 00:04:02,348 --> 00:04:04,708 Speaker 8: And I expect next week to be you know, on 92 00:04:04,748 --> 00:04:07,748 Speaker 8: top of that or second, you know, And it's a 93 00:04:07,748 --> 00:04:09,948 Speaker 8: special place to play, and I've only been here for 94 00:04:09,988 --> 00:04:12,028 Speaker 8: three years, but to see us come from where we 95 00:04:12,028 --> 00:04:14,748 Speaker 8: were to where we are now, and the fans endure 96 00:04:14,788 --> 00:04:17,308 Speaker 8: some of that, it's special to be able to get 97 00:04:17,308 --> 00:04:19,668 Speaker 8: this w for them and for this group in our 98 00:04:19,668 --> 00:04:20,148 Speaker 8: locker room. 99 00:04:20,588 --> 00:04:22,828 Speaker 9: Jared was really efficient. You can see the command that 100 00:04:22,868 --> 00:04:24,668 Speaker 9: he has. You know, I think there's a lot made 101 00:04:24,708 --> 00:04:26,828 Speaker 9: of it. But I'm really happy for him. You know, 102 00:04:26,868 --> 00:04:28,708 Speaker 9: obviously we wanted to come away with the win, but 103 00:04:28,948 --> 00:04:30,668 Speaker 9: he's done a great job and I think the grit, 104 00:04:30,668 --> 00:04:33,388 Speaker 9: the resilience, and you know, the way that's he's done 105 00:04:33,388 --> 00:04:35,948 Speaker 9: his thing here over the last three years. I'm happy 106 00:04:35,948 --> 00:04:37,948 Speaker 9: for Jared, and I certainly am appreciative of the four 107 00:04:38,028 --> 00:04:38,908 Speaker 9: years that we had together. 108 00:04:39,108 --> 00:04:41,908 Speaker 1: How do you put out to sea.

That guy wasn't 116 00:05:03,348 --> 00:05:07,188 Speaker 3: happy for as well. Epic experience at home for Lions 117 00:05:07,268 --> 00:05:09,548 Speaker 3: fans with that win over the Rams last night, Peter, 118 00:05:10,028 --> 00:05:10,748 Speaker 3: where do. 119 00:05:10,708 --> 00:05:11,548 Speaker 6: You take us first? 120 00:05:11,588 --> 00:05:13,948 Speaker 5: How often does the game actually live up to expectations? 121 00:05:13,988 --> 00:05:16,788 Speaker 5: We had three duds to start the playoff weekend, we 122 00:05:16,868 --> 00:05:19,908 Speaker 5: get to Sunday night, We're so excited for all the storylines, 123 00:05:20,628 --> 00:05:24,828 Speaker 5: and it delivered. First off, Jared Goff was amazing. Jared 124 00:05:24,868 --> 00:05:27,268 Speaker 5: Goff was amazing. With all the expectations and all the 125 00:05:27,908 --> 00:05:30,308 Speaker 5: thoughts of what's golf going to do in this Sean 126 00:05:30,388 --> 00:05:34,348 Speaker 5: McVay showdown, golf came out just dialed in, moving the 127 00:05:34,348 --> 00:05:37,148 Speaker 5: ball right down the field. Golf at his absolute best 128 00:05:37,148 --> 00:05:39,228 Speaker 5: in the first half of this game. And then when 129 00:05:39,228 --> 00:05:42,388 Speaker 5: they needed him most, after a stop and start of 130 00:05:42,428 --> 00:05:44,508 Speaker 5: a third quarter and then a fourth quarter where the 131 00:05:44,508 --> 00:05:47,548 Speaker 5: offense stalled where they needed him most, Jared Goff made 132 00:05:47,588 --> 00:05:50,428 Speaker 5: the play of his career, really hitting his guy. I'm 133 00:05:50,428 --> 00:05:53,308 Speaker 5: mon Ross Saint Brown to confirm that there's a victory. 134 00:05:53,308 --> 00:05:56,828 Speaker 5: But I would also add Stafford was unbelievable on this game. 135 00:05:56,868 --> 00:05:58,308 Speaker 4: Stafford was a true warrior. 136 00:05:58,348 --> 00:06:01,868 Speaker 5: When you're talking about the expectations for Stafford going into 137 00:06:01,908 --> 00:06:04,708 Speaker 5: Detroit and how would he handle being booed, would he 138 00:06:04,748 --> 00:06:08,348 Speaker 5: handle having his name on jerseys with big exits through it? 139 00:06:08,708 --> 00:06:12,028 Speaker 5: Stafford getting crushed throughout this game, the bloody hand. 140 00:06:12,708 --> 00:06:13,668 Speaker 1: Look, I'm not sure. 141 00:06:13,708 --> 00:06:16,308 Speaker 5: I haven't spoken anyone at the Rams training staff this morning. 142 00:06:16,348 --> 00:06:18,588 Speaker 5: I'd like to see how many broken ribs Stafford was 143 00:06:18,588 --> 00:06:20,628 Speaker 5: playing with yesterday. And the way he was out there 144 00:06:20,868 --> 00:06:25,108 Speaker 5: holding his side, his arm in his hands, obviously affected 145 00:06:25,148 --> 00:06:28,148 Speaker 5: and yet still making big play after big play after 146 00:06:28,228 --> 00:06:31,188 Speaker 5: big play, and then the atmosphere, Jamie, you nailed it. 147 00:06:31,268 --> 00:06:34,628 Speaker 5: This game delivered on everything you could possibly ask for 148 00:06:34,788 --> 00:06:36,868 Speaker 5: in a wild Card round game. And we talked about 149 00:06:36,908 --> 00:06:40,988 Speaker 5: three narratives going into this thing. Goff McVeigh. Goff wins 150 00:06:40,988 --> 00:06:43,868 Speaker 5: that battle, and Goff is the valiant one between the 151 00:06:43,908 --> 00:06:47,708 Speaker 5: two of them. Stafford returning home and Stafford was amazing, 152 00:06:48,028 --> 00:06:50,468 Speaker 5: and then the Lion's home crowd was just tremendous. I 153 00:06:50,508 --> 00:06:53,268 Speaker 5: thought that was the loudest building we will see all 154 00:06:53,308 --> 00:06:55,708 Speaker 5: weekend long, and might be the loudest building we see 155 00:06:55,748 --> 00:06:58,388 Speaker 5: all playoffs long. We'll see who they get next week. 156 00:06:58,428 --> 00:07:02,628 Speaker 5: But karma is interesting, as we ripped it apart here 157 00:07:02,788 --> 00:07:06,348 Speaker 5: thirty five times, and everyone talked about the ineligible receiver 158 00:07:06,468 --> 00:07:09,068 Speaker 5: and how that thing worked against Lions. Guess what in 159 00:07:09,108 --> 00:07:12,228 Speaker 5: the end, Cowboys lose, Lions win. Lions have a second 160 00:07:12,228 --> 00:07:14,508 Speaker 5: home game anyway, and they just went out there and 161 00:07:14,548 --> 00:07:17,188 Speaker 5: didn't complain and didn't whine about it and took care 162 00:07:17,228 --> 00:07:19,588 Speaker 5: of their business, kept it inside. And I couldn't be 163 00:07:19,628 --> 00:07:21,708 Speaker 5: happier for those fans of Detroit. Yes, I know I 164 00:07:21,748 --> 00:07:22,348 Speaker 5: picked the Rams. 165 00:07:22,348 --> 00:07:24,708 Speaker 1: I heard about it.

How rare it is that and so many 170 00:07:32,428 --> 00:07:34,628 Speaker 5: people were home on the couch watching and so many 171 00:07:34,668 --> 00:07:36,828 Speaker 5: people were there in Detroit getting able to experience it. 172 00:07:36,828 --> 00:07:38,948 Speaker 5: We see you Lions fans congratulation last morning. 173 00:07:39,068 --> 00:07:41,308 Speaker 6: Every storyline delivered, And that's why I want to take it. 174 00:07:41,348 --> 00:07:43,628 Speaker 6: Because we talked about Jared Goff leading up to this 175 00:07:43,668 --> 00:07:46,148 Speaker 6: one and the amount of pressure that had to be 176 00:07:46,268 --> 00:07:48,548 Speaker 6: on him, because yes, that storyline of him used to 177 00:07:48,588 --> 00:07:50,508 Speaker 6: being with the Rams, but they won that Super Bowl. 178 00:07:50,548 --> 00:07:53,508 Speaker 6: Now he's coming back home. Everybody's expecting Jared Goff to 179 00:07:53,668 --> 00:07:55,908 Speaker 6: perform so much. That want you guys to take a 180 00:07:55,948 --> 00:07:58,108 Speaker 6: listen to what that home crowd sounded. 181 00:07:57,828 --> 00:07:59,908 Speaker 4: Like in pregame with Goff out there. 182 00:08:09,748 --> 00:08:13,108 Speaker 6: He talked about it after a game, an unbelievable atmosphere. 183 00:08:13,148 --> 00:08:15,188 Speaker 6: They are chanting Jared God. 184 00:08:15,188 --> 00:08:16,068 Speaker 4: That is in pregame. 185 00:08:16,148 --> 00:08:19,348 Speaker 6: That was before the ball was kicked off, before anything happens, 186 00:08:19,468 --> 00:08:21,748 Speaker 6: and he walks out onto that field once they get 187 00:08:21,828 --> 00:08:25,268 Speaker 6: the ball and he just sliced up that Rams defense. 188 00:08:25,588 --> 00:08:28,188 Speaker 6: Jared got started the game of fourteen of fourteen. He 189 00:08:28,268 --> 00:08:31,428 Speaker 6: was throwing the ball all over the field. Seventeen of 190 00:08:31,508 --> 00:08:33,948 Speaker 6: fourteen only had two incompletions in the first half, one 191 00:08:34,028 --> 00:08:36,068 Speaker 6: hundred and ninety four yards and a touchdown. That's the 192 00:08:36,108 --> 00:08:38,508 Speaker 6: first half of football for him and the lines. 193 00:08:38,708 --> 00:08:39,668 Speaker 4: But I want to take you guys. 194 00:08:39,788 --> 00:08:41,628 Speaker 6: You're watching the game and it's disclos and there's so 195 00:08:41,628 --> 00:08:43,828 Speaker 6: many plays on both sides because of how well you 196 00:08:43,868 --> 00:08:47,268 Speaker 6: spoke about Matthew Stafford played and Pooka Nakula. Came down 197 00:08:47,308 --> 00:08:49,628 Speaker 6: to that last possession for the Rams and it's a 198 00:08:49,748 --> 00:08:52,508 Speaker 6: third and four and Stafford is going for it and 199 00:08:52,548 --> 00:08:54,748 Speaker 6: he's trying to pick up the first down, and Aiden 200 00:08:54,828 --> 00:08:58,348 Speaker 6: Hutchinson he draws a holding penalty and they don't pick 201 00:08:58,428 --> 00:09:00,628 Speaker 6: up the first down. I look at a play like this, 202 00:09:00,748 --> 00:09:03,108 Speaker 6: and Sean McVay probably goes for it on fourth in 203 00:09:03,148 --> 00:09:05,628 Speaker 6: about five or six yard and tries to pick up 204 00:09:05,628 --> 00:09:08,028 Speaker 6: the first and continues to drive the ball down there 205 00:09:08,188 --> 00:09:11,028 Speaker 6: to take the league. This holding penalty backs it up 206 00:09:11,028 --> 00:09:13,788 Speaker 6: to third and fourteen. They get the incompletion and on 207 00:09:13,828 --> 00:09:16,348 Speaker 6: a fourth and fourteen from McVeigh, he's looking at it 208 00:09:16,388 --> 00:09:18,388 Speaker 6: as well, we just went three and out on defense. 209 00:09:18,588 --> 00:09:19,468 Speaker 4: Let's punk the ball. 210 00:09:19,548 --> 00:09:21,748 Speaker 6: It's a hard one to pick up on third and 211 00:09:21,788 --> 00:09:24,148 Speaker 6: long and then we'll get the ball back. That play 212 00:09:24,228 --> 00:09:25,748 Speaker 6: by Aiden Hunchon and the other a ton of them, 213 00:09:25,788 --> 00:09:27,788 Speaker 6: spin moves, all of that, But that play, to me, 214 00:09:27,988 --> 00:09:30,508 Speaker 6: decided the game because once the Lions got the ball back, 215 00:09:30,588 --> 00:09:31,868 Speaker 6: they never gave the Rams a chance. 216 00:09:31,868 --> 00:09:32,108 Speaker 4: Again. 217 00:09:32,148 --> 00:09:33,428 Speaker 1: We all get a little nervous at the end of 218 00:09:33,428 --> 00:09:34,988 Speaker 1: the first half when they looked like they might have 219 00:09:35,028 --> 00:09:37,468 Speaker 1: messed up that full start penalty and Taylor Decker again. 220 00:09:37,748 --> 00:09:39,588 Speaker 1: I'm just so glad that didn't come home to Rust that. 221 00:09:39,828 --> 00:09:41,988 Speaker 1: I saw so many pictures. We saw some in the highlight, 222 00:09:41,988 --> 00:09:45,228 Speaker 1: but I saw a ton online of just Lions fans weeping. 223 00:09:45,868 --> 00:09:48,308 Speaker 1: It's crazy full on. I saw someone with the guys 224 00:09:48,308 --> 00:09:51,988 Speaker 1: at home watching down on his carpet in his living room, sobbing, crying, 225 00:09:52,148 --> 00:09:54,748 Speaker 1: and I completely get it, and I love it. This 226 00:09:54,908 --> 00:09:59,228 Speaker 1: is why you are a fan. It's playoff wins. It's 227 00:09:59,268 --> 00:10:03,068 Speaker 1: not beating your rival that's nice and primetime wins, it's winning. 228 00:10:03,148 --> 00:10:06,228 Speaker 1: Playoff games are why you put in years and decades. 229 00:10:06,228 --> 00:10:08,388 Speaker 1: And I'm just so excited for them. I'm getting goosebums 230 00:10:08,468 --> 00:10:10,268 Speaker 1: right now just talking about the Lions won a playoff 231 00:10:10,468 --> 00:10:12,468 Speaker 1: and they went at home. They have another one next week. 232 00:10:12,828 --> 00:10:16,748 Speaker 1: We sometimes refer to the Lions as Uncle Lenny, this 233 00:10:16,788 --> 00:10:19,028 Speaker 1: beloved family member who's been through a lot and he's 234 00:10:19,028 --> 00:10:21,908 Speaker 1: fixed his lightly. Uncle Lenny's like living life now. Uncle 235 00:10:21,948 --> 00:10:24,868 Speaker 1: Lenny got his anklet taken off. He's off parole. Uncle 236 00:10:24,948 --> 00:10:27,588 Speaker 1: Lenny's a motivational speaker. Uncle Lenny's got a podcast like 237 00:10:27,668 --> 00:10:31,388 Speaker 1: he's doing great. And I just I look at my man, 238 00:10:31,668 --> 00:10:34,188 Speaker 1: my man Dan Campbell and all the stuff, and all 239 00:10:34,228 --> 00:10:36,548 Speaker 1: the Kneecap and the Andy Fragile and the Pure Octane 240 00:10:36,628 --> 00:10:40,868 Speaker 1: and all those bumper stickers. It all works. It works, 241 00:10:41,108 --> 00:10:44,668 Speaker 1: those motivational phrases. They play really hard and they're fearless 242 00:10:44,708 --> 00:10:47,468 Speaker 1: and they compete, and I really have to say, I 243 00:10:47,468 --> 00:10:49,308 Speaker 1: think there's some people in the media who I really 244 00:10:49,308 --> 00:10:50,988 Speaker 1: should think they've put their hand up today, and I'm 245 00:10:50,988 --> 00:10:52,748 Speaker 1: gonna put my hand up in some other things. But 246 00:10:52,828 --> 00:10:54,068 Speaker 1: if you were one of the people, and they were 247 00:10:54,108 --> 00:10:56,388 Speaker 1: a lot who when Dan campbells announced as head coach 248 00:10:56,388 --> 00:10:59,108 Speaker 1: and Detroit Lions, you say, this is the best we 249 00:10:59,188 --> 00:11:02,668 Speaker 1: can do. This moron, this is the guy who got 250 00:11:02,708 --> 00:11:05,748 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions head coaching job. Yeah, and he's incredible. 251 00:11:05,788 --> 00:11:07,788 Speaker 1: I think Sean McVay is the best coach in the NFL. 252 00:11:07,908 --> 00:11:10,388 Speaker 1: I think Dan Campbell out coached him yesterday in a 253 00:11:10,468 --> 00:11:13,428 Speaker 1: huge play in huge moments. I'm so proud of him. 254 00:11:13,468 --> 00:11:16,108 Speaker 1: I'm so impressed with him. It all works. And I 255 00:11:16,148 --> 00:11:17,948 Speaker 1: know that Jared Goff is the story. And they went 256 00:11:17,988 --> 00:11:19,828 Speaker 1: and got golf for whatever reason, they got rid of 257 00:11:19,828 --> 00:11:22,028 Speaker 1: Stafford and all that. This like to me, this was 258 00:11:22,068 --> 00:11:26,428 Speaker 1: about home grown Lions. Hutchinson was drafted to win that game. 259 00:11:26,468 --> 00:11:30,868 Speaker 1: It was incredible. A Monra is a star, Penny Laportaibbs, 260 00:11:30,988 --> 00:11:33,828 Speaker 1: Gibbs bing bing bing, these are always we want him, 261 00:11:33,908 --> 00:11:37,468 Speaker 1: we want him, we want him. Homegrown Lions carried the 262 00:11:37,548 --> 00:11:39,748 Speaker 1: day for them. They are built from the bottom up 263 00:11:39,788 --> 00:11:42,788 Speaker 1: with a hell of a coach, a veteran quarterback, but homegrown, 264 00:11:42,868 --> 00:11:46,188 Speaker 1: like draft picked talent, which means they're not going anywhere. 265 00:11:46,268 --> 00:11:48,148 Speaker 1: It was an awesome game. Just when you thought the 266 00:11:48,188 --> 00:11:50,068 Speaker 1: Lions were gonna lie in this up. Oh my god, 267 00:11:50,068 --> 00:11:52,228 Speaker 1: it's tight. They're gonna blow it. Mcveig's too good. The 268 00:11:52,268 --> 00:11:53,868 Speaker 1: hell with that. Enough of that garbage. 269 00:11:53,908 --> 00:11:54,188 Speaker 4: They won. 270 00:11:54,188 --> 00:11:56,148 Speaker 1: They're gonna play again at home next week. I'm so 271 00:11:56,228 --> 00:11:58,828 Speaker 1: happy for them, So happy for Dan Campbell. Chicks ass man, 272 00:11:58,908 --> 00:11:59,748 Speaker 1: I love it, love it. 273 00:11:59,948 --> 00:12:02,148 Speaker 3: Albert Breer had a really cool story that you said 274 00:12:02,188 --> 00:12:03,748 Speaker 3: I tweeted out last night, which is he was having 275 00:12:03,788 --> 00:12:06,668 Speaker 3: a conversation with Rodwood, who's the president of the Lions recently, 276 00:12:06,708 --> 00:12:09,308 Speaker 3: and he said what drew him to Dan Campbell initially 277 00:12:09,388 --> 00:12:11,908 Speaker 3: was that Campbell wanted the Lion's job. He wanted to 278 00:12:11,948 --> 00:12:12,988 Speaker 3: be He didn't want to be a head coach. He 279 00:12:13,028 --> 00:12:15,108 Speaker 3: wanted to be the head coach of the Detroit Lions. 280 00:12:15,308 --> 00:12:18,028 Speaker 3: And then you're seeing the manifestation of that years later. 281 00:12:18,268 --> 00:12:19,988 Speaker 3: I want to touch on just one of the storylines, 282 00:12:20,028 --> 00:12:22,428 Speaker 3: like there was seventy two you could pick from. How 283 00:12:22,508 --> 00:12:24,508 Speaker 3: is it possible that we have a gifted a rookie 284 00:12:24,548 --> 00:12:27,348 Speaker 3: like Puka Nukua and also Sam Laporta on the same field. 285 00:12:27,548 --> 00:12:29,708 Speaker 1: But this specific play, we are so. 286 00:12:29,828 --> 00:12:33,708 Speaker 3: Obsessed with the fact that Dan Skipper reported as as eligible. 287 00:12:34,108 --> 00:12:36,988 Speaker 3: When it was fourth and one, the Lions are on 288 00:12:37,028 --> 00:12:38,468 Speaker 3: the goal line, it was like, what's. 289 00:12:38,228 --> 00:12:38,988 Speaker 4: Seventy gonna do? 290 00:12:39,228 --> 00:12:40,748 Speaker 1: He comes in, he's waving. 291 00:12:40,468 --> 00:12:43,148 Speaker 3: His hands up and down, camera follows him. What Skipper 292 00:12:43,228 --> 00:12:45,908 Speaker 3: gonna do? Is everyone lined up properly? Jared Goff's like, 293 00:12:45,908 --> 00:12:48,508 Speaker 3: don't worry, we got this. I swear his shoulder even 294 00:12:48,588 --> 00:12:50,988 Speaker 3: went to Skipper like made you look, and then he 295 00:12:51,148 --> 00:12:54,428 Speaker 3: goes out and skips out right to Sam Laporta. Laporta 296 00:12:54,508 --> 00:12:57,788 Speaker 3: ten touchdowns in the regular season. He's ranking amongst Mike 297 00:12:57,828 --> 00:13:01,268 Speaker 3: Ditka and Rob Gronkowski for tight ends, like setting records 298 00:13:01,588 --> 00:13:04,708 Speaker 3: to watch Puka and Laporta. 299 00:13:04,428 --> 00:13:05,228 Speaker 4: In the same game. 300 00:13:05,468 --> 00:13:07,748 Speaker 3: They have set the tone for rookie pass catchers. But 301 00:13:07,868 --> 00:13:10,148 Speaker 3: that hole, it was like, why else would we care 302 00:13:10,268 --> 00:13:12,228 Speaker 3: if an f alignment reports eligible? 303 00:13:12,348 --> 00:13:12,668 Speaker 4: We did. 304 00:13:12,708 --> 00:13:15,268 Speaker 3: It's even written in the ESPN dot com play by 305 00:13:15,308 --> 00:13:17,948 Speaker 3: play dance Skipper report is eligible. I looked at other ones. 306 00:13:18,028 --> 00:13:20,148 Speaker 3: They don't write that in other ones. They intentionally put 307 00:13:20,188 --> 00:13:22,708 Speaker 3: that in there. It is a perfect cap to the 308 00:13:22,748 --> 00:13:26,028 Speaker 3: storyline as well. Mean Rappoport, good morning to you. I 309 00:13:26,028 --> 00:13:28,508 Speaker 3: don't want to talk about this, but injuries that we 310 00:13:28,588 --> 00:13:31,908 Speaker 3: have to look ahead to or be aware of today's 311 00:13:31,948 --> 00:13:35,268 Speaker 3: doubleheader because two games instead of won this evening, two. 312 00:13:35,108 --> 00:13:37,828 Speaker 2: Games instead of won. Several injuries to keep your eye on, though, 313 00:13:37,868 --> 00:13:40,868 Speaker 2: really mostly good news, mostly because it's the playoffs and 314 00:13:40,908 --> 00:13:43,708 Speaker 2: everyone generally, somehow, some way plays just like we saw 315 00:13:43,748 --> 00:13:44,908 Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford yesterday. 316 00:13:45,028 --> 00:13:45,708 Speaker 1: We'll start with. 317 00:13:45,628 --> 00:13:48,948 Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, the starting quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 318 00:13:49,148 --> 00:13:50,948 Speaker 2: deal with a couple of different injuries. We know he's 319 00:13:50,948 --> 00:13:53,508 Speaker 2: got the rib injury, the bruise ribs from a couple 320 00:13:53,468 --> 00:13:55,748 Speaker 2: of weeks ago. He also was listed as having an 321 00:13:55,748 --> 00:13:56,308 Speaker 2: ankle injury. 322 00:13:56,308 --> 00:13:57,588 Speaker 4: Remember kind of tweaked. 323 00:13:57,228 --> 00:14:00,108 Speaker 2: His ankle, rolled it a little bit midway through last 324 00:14:00,108 --> 00:14:03,348 Speaker 2: week's game. Listed at question, but he is expected to play, 325 00:14:03,708 --> 00:14:06,108 Speaker 2: just not so sure he's going to have his full mobility. 326 00:14:06,388 --> 00:14:08,748 Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield is going to gut it out, no doubt 327 00:14:08,788 --> 00:14:11,148 Speaker 2: about it, not going to miss this opportunity, but probably 328 00:14:11,188 --> 00:14:15,348 Speaker 2: not one hundred percent. Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts, the egos starting quarterback, 329 00:14:15,388 --> 00:14:17,548 Speaker 2: has not been one hundred percent for I think it's 330 00:14:17,588 --> 00:14:19,348 Speaker 2: fair to say a lot of the season hit A 331 00:14:19,348 --> 00:14:22,988 Speaker 2: dislocated finger popped in and out.

And then just shocked. Honestly, 385 00:16:48,948 --> 00:16:51,468 Speaker 11: from the beginning of the game. Yeah, we got beat. 386 00:16:51,508 --> 00:16:53,468 Speaker 11: There's no other which way around it, no way to 387 00:16:53,468 --> 00:16:57,548 Speaker 11: sugarcoat it. Obtusly, I didn't play well and shock damn 388 00:16:57,588 --> 00:16:59,628 Speaker 11: sure didn't think this is where we'd be as far 389 00:16:59,668 --> 00:17:03,268 Speaker 11: as anything, I pumbs you're scheduling myself, this team, this organization, 390 00:17:03,548 --> 00:17:06,028 Speaker 11: that this would be. It credit to those guys they 391 00:17:06,068 --> 00:17:08,348 Speaker 11: came out here and handled business and no disrespect to 392 00:17:08,388 --> 00:17:10,148 Speaker 11: those guys going in. But that was just the confidence 393 00:17:10,188 --> 00:17:12,228 Speaker 11: that this group had and what we've done and I'm 394 00:17:12,308 --> 00:17:14,708 Speaker 11: sure what we've done at home. So yeah, I'll take 395 00:17:15,108 --> 00:17:17,268 Speaker 11: take a little bit more time to digest it completely, 396 00:17:17,388 --> 00:17:19,908 Speaker 11: to be honest with you, but stunned. 397 00:17:21,268 --> 00:17:23,388 Speaker 3: And that sentiment is the case I think for everyone 398 00:17:23,428 --> 00:17:26,068 Speaker 3: that watched the Cowboys play this year. I and Rappaport 399 00:17:26,148 --> 00:17:28,748 Speaker 3: joining us once again ian For the eighth time since 400 00:17:28,828 --> 00:17:31,588 Speaker 3: ninety six, the Cowboys found themselves playing in a playoff game, 401 00:17:31,628 --> 00:17:33,548 Speaker 3: and for the eighth time, they lose in that first 402 00:17:33,548 --> 00:17:36,428 Speaker 3: playoff game in January. What can you tell us about 403 00:17:36,508 --> 00:17:38,548 Speaker 3: their head coach Mike McCarthy this morning. 404 00:17:38,988 --> 00:17:41,588 Speaker 2: Yeah, as soon as the Cowboys suffered that kind of defeat, 405 00:17:41,588 --> 00:17:45,068 Speaker 2: with the entire world watching, all the speculation and all 406 00:17:45,108 --> 00:17:47,468 Speaker 2: the eyeballs went to the job status of head coach 407 00:17:47,868 --> 00:17:50,428 Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy. And it is no surprise if you're the 408 00:17:50,468 --> 00:17:54,548 Speaker 2: Cowboys coach, speculation, wondering about your job. I mean, that 409 00:17:54,668 --> 00:17:56,348 Speaker 2: all comes with it. I mean, it seems like it's 410 00:17:56,388 --> 00:17:58,548 Speaker 2: been He's been the head coach for four years. Seems 411 00:17:58,548 --> 00:18:00,988 Speaker 2: like it's been four years of wondering. When is Jerry 412 00:18:01,068 --> 00:18:04,068 Speaker 2: Jones simply going to move on? One playoff win in 413 00:18:04,108 --> 00:18:06,828 Speaker 2: four He is entering the final year of his a 414 00:18:06,868 --> 00:18:10,908 Speaker 2: five year contract that he initially signed that generally indicates 415 00:18:10,948 --> 00:18:14,388 Speaker 2: decision time for an organization. Jerry Jones was asked after 416 00:18:14,388 --> 00:18:16,308 Speaker 2: the game about the job stat as of Mike McCarthy 417 00:18:16,508 --> 00:18:18,948 Speaker 2: basically said he was not going to go there, wouldn't 418 00:18:18,988 --> 00:18:21,548 Speaker 2: say when he would sit down with McCarthy wouldn't even 419 00:18:21,588 --> 00:18:24,708 Speaker 2: say that he considered a potential change, But I think 420 00:18:24,748 --> 00:18:28,308 Speaker 2: it's fair to say the Cowboys have a significant, significant 421 00:18:28,348 --> 00:18:33,068 Speaker 2: decision coming over the next several hours, day, maybe day 422 00:18:33,108 --> 00:18:35,508 Speaker 2: and a half, something like that, just to make sure 423 00:18:35,548 --> 00:18:38,788 Speaker 2: they know which direction the organization is going. Certainly, moving 424 00:18:38,788 --> 00:18:42,708 Speaker 2: on for Mike McCarthy is a consideration, my understanding is 425 00:18:42,748 --> 00:18:45,308 Speaker 2: for the Dallas Cowboys. Not saying it's definite, but it 426 00:18:45,388 --> 00:18:48,268 Speaker 2: is a consideration. And when you have head coaches out 427 00:18:48,308 --> 00:18:51,028 Speaker 2: there and many other teams seven to be exactor going 428 00:18:51,028 --> 00:18:53,228 Speaker 2: through their head coaching search, if you are going to 429 00:18:53,268 --> 00:18:55,268 Speaker 2: make a decision, it behoves you to do it sooner. 430 00:18:55,188 --> 00:18:55,948 Speaker 4: Rather than later. 431 00:18:56,308 --> 00:18:59,268 Speaker 2: And the fact that Bill Belichick is still out there, 432 00:18:59,348 --> 00:19:01,068 Speaker 2: the greatest coach of all time. I know he has 433 00:19:01,108 --> 00:19:04,348 Speaker 2: a close relationship with the Joneses certainly something that would 434 00:19:04,508 --> 00:19:06,468 Speaker 2: we have to be added to the equation. 435 00:19:07,028 --> 00:19:09,068 Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a lot of names to consider if 436 00:19:09,228 --> 00:19:12,628 Speaker 3: the head coaching rotation continues on, and it will with 437 00:19:12,788 --> 00:19:14,828 Speaker 3: or without the Cowboys. Raps sheet, thank you so much. 438 00:19:14,988 --> 00:19:17,028 Speaker 3: Cool shot of Jordan Love as he walked across the 439 00:19:17,028 --> 00:19:19,428 Speaker 3: field after that Packer's huge upset. When it's the youth 440 00:19:19,508 --> 00:19:22,428 Speaker 3: movement Peter for the Green Bay Packers in Dallas. 441 00:19:22,508 --> 00:19:26,588 Speaker 5: I thought Jordan Love was sensational yesterday, Like he's been 442 00:19:26,948 --> 00:19:29,988 Speaker 5: the best quarterback in football over the last month of 443 00:19:30,028 --> 00:19:32,748 Speaker 5: this season. And we highlighted it the Sunday night game 444 00:19:32,788 --> 00:19:34,588 Speaker 5: on New Year's Eve, what he was doing to the Vikings, 445 00:19:34,628 --> 00:19:37,508 Speaker 5: and we talked about how well he looked in the 446 00:19:37,548 --> 00:19:41,348 Speaker 5: big game against the Bears. But nothing prepared us for this. 447 00:19:42,148 --> 00:19:43,308 Speaker 5: He's so dialed in. 448 00:19:43,428 --> 00:19:44,468 Speaker 1: He looks like Rogers. 449 00:19:44,508 --> 00:19:46,588 Speaker 5: He's floating on air, like the way he throws them, 450 00:19:46,588 --> 00:19:49,988 Speaker 5: all these back feet, these little crow hops. I love 451 00:19:50,308 --> 00:19:53,748 Speaker 5: watching this Packers offense led by Jordan Love, and I 452 00:19:53,788 --> 00:19:56,788 Speaker 5: love just so many words love. His name is Love. 453 00:19:56,828 --> 00:19:59,548 Speaker 5: I love it. 454 00:19:59,548 --> 00:20:00,428 Speaker 3: It's alot of affection. 455 00:20:00,668 --> 00:20:04,068 Speaker 5: The youth is incredible. These guys that he's thrown you 456 00:20:04,148 --> 00:20:06,188 Speaker 5: don't know that they're not supposed to be. Like I'm 457 00:20:06,228 --> 00:20:08,508 Speaker 5: watching Gallop and Cooks on one end, and then I'm 458 00:20:08,548 --> 00:20:11,268 Speaker 5: watching this team on the other and it's Dontavian Wicks 459 00:20:11,828 --> 00:20:15,428 Speaker 5: and it's Jayden Reed Romeo and it's Romeo Doves and 460 00:20:15,508 --> 00:20:18,268 Speaker 5: Christian Watson's like, yeah, I'll go why I'm twenty four 461 00:20:18,308 --> 00:20:21,268 Speaker 5: years old. The veteran of this wide receivers. This stat 462 00:20:21,308 --> 00:20:24,268 Speaker 5: blew me away. The youngest team to ever win a 463 00:20:24,308 --> 00:20:24,988 Speaker 5: playoff game. 464 00:20:25,028 --> 00:20:25,468 Speaker 4: Wow. 465 00:20:25,628 --> 00:20:28,228 Speaker 5: I appreciate the seventy eight Falcons and the seventy four 466 00:20:28,308 --> 00:20:32,028 Speaker 5: steel at all, but the twenty twenty three Packers are 467 00:20:32,108 --> 00:20:35,148 Speaker 5: the youngest team in the Super Bowl era to ever 468 00:20:35,308 --> 00:20:38,668 Speaker 5: win a playoff game. Their quarterback is this grizzled veteran 469 00:20:38,708 --> 00:20:41,188 Speaker 5: in it. He's not a veteran. This is his first 470 00:20:41,188 --> 00:20:43,668 Speaker 5: playoff start of all time. They showed the graphic on 471 00:20:43,748 --> 00:20:46,828 Speaker 5: Fox and I thought Kevin Burkhart and Greg Olsen were sensational. 472 00:20:46,948 --> 00:20:49,268 Speaker 5: Yesterday they showed the graphic and it was like Farv's 473 00:20:49,308 --> 00:20:53,588 Speaker 5: playoff debut, Rogers playoff debut, and then this dude's playoff 474 00:20:53,628 --> 00:20:56,028 Speaker 5: debut and Jordan Love blows them out of the water. 475 00:20:56,428 --> 00:20:56,988 Speaker 1: This is fun. 476 00:20:57,028 --> 00:20:59,388 Speaker 5: Packers fans were like coming at us because we all 477 00:20:59,428 --> 00:21:02,308 Speaker 5: took the Cowboys.

Completely free, completely, 485 00:21:23,508 --> 00:21:25,748 Speaker 5: just no baggage, and Love comes in there and just 486 00:21:25,828 --> 00:21:28,268 Speaker 5: tears apart the rival Cowboys. By the way, since they 487 00:21:28,308 --> 00:21:30,708 Speaker 5: opened that new Dallas Stadium, the Packers are six and 488 00:21:30,748 --> 00:21:31,428 Speaker 5: zero in that building. 489 00:21:31,548 --> 00:21:31,708 Speaker 7: MM. 490 00:21:32,028 --> 00:21:36,748 Speaker 5: Jordan wo absolutely owned that Cowboys defense yesterday.

All that experience goes out the door. I 497 00:21:51,948 --> 00:21:54,708 Speaker 6: look at Laflorid, the head coach, because you're going into 498 00:21:54,708 --> 00:21:56,628 Speaker 6: this game, and I guarantee you. He started off the 499 00:21:56,668 --> 00:21:58,948 Speaker 6: meetings on Wednesday and he said to the offense, if 500 00:21:58,988 --> 00:22:01,268 Speaker 6: we go out there and we win the toss, I 501 00:22:01,308 --> 00:22:03,828 Speaker 6: am taking the ball. We're going down there and we 502 00:22:03,908 --> 00:22:06,548 Speaker 6: are scored, and we're gonna set the tone early on 503 00:22:06,628 --> 00:22:09,068 Speaker 6: in this game. And from an exs and old standpoint, 504 00:22:09,068 --> 00:22:11,228 Speaker 6: I think he looked at this Cowboys team and he said, hey, 505 00:22:11,348 --> 00:22:13,908 Speaker 6: from a defensive standpoint, they are built to get after 506 00:22:13,948 --> 00:22:14,588 Speaker 6: the quarterback. 507 00:22:14,748 --> 00:22:15,948 Speaker 4: They're small inside. 508 00:22:15,988 --> 00:22:17,628 Speaker 6: If we can get a lead on him and run 509 00:22:17,668 --> 00:22:20,388 Speaker 6: the ball right at them, we can take advantage of him. 510 00:22:20,548 --> 00:22:23,708 Speaker 6: Green Bay scored on six of their first seven drives. 511 00:22:23,868 --> 00:22:26,308 Speaker 4: Not scored, just points. Those were touchdowns. 512 00:22:26,428 --> 00:22:28,468 Speaker 6: They got the ball and just went straight down the 513 00:22:28,468 --> 00:22:32,628 Speaker 6: field all over this Cowboys defense. They had absolutely no answers. 514 00:22:32,748 --> 00:22:34,988 Speaker 6: And just to piggyback on Jordan Love and what he 515 00:22:35,068 --> 00:22:37,668 Speaker 6: was doing yesterday, the touchdown that he threw the Wicks 516 00:22:37,788 --> 00:22:41,828 Speaker 6: was unbelievable from and x's and oles inexperience standpoint, because 517 00:22:41,908 --> 00:22:44,188 Speaker 6: he comes out there and the Cowboys show that they're 518 00:22:44,188 --> 00:22:46,308 Speaker 6: about to come after him with a Max blitz. You 519 00:22:46,388 --> 00:22:48,548 Speaker 6: see all the guys at the line of scrimmage when 520 00:22:48,588 --> 00:22:50,628 Speaker 6: he goes through the canans, and he then he starts 521 00:22:50,668 --> 00:22:53,228 Speaker 6: talking to everybody. Hold on, hold on, He starts checking 522 00:22:53,268 --> 00:22:56,708 Speaker 6: the play and doing all the conversation, bring somebody in motion, 523 00:22:56,828 --> 00:22:59,108 Speaker 6: and then throws a fade away three to Wis in 524 00:22:59,148 --> 00:23:01,028 Speaker 6: the back of the end zone for a touchdown pass 525 00:23:01,228 --> 00:23:04,148 Speaker 6: That to me was so impressive because the game plan 526 00:23:04,228 --> 00:23:07,388 Speaker 6: that had in the execution from Jordan Love. The Cowboys 527 00:23:07,468 --> 00:23:08,628 Speaker 6: never had a chance in this one. 528 00:23:08,708 --> 00:23:13,268 Speaker 1: Absolute as swhooping, unbelievably one sided defeats the Packer's side. 529 00:23:13,268 --> 00:23:14,868 Speaker 1: It is so awesome, and I just want to say 530 00:23:14,868 --> 00:23:17,148 Speaker 1: this for myself. You guys can do it. You cannot. 531 00:23:17,668 --> 00:23:20,388 Speaker 1: No more Rogers, it's over. No more Rodgers mentioned, no 532 00:23:20,468 --> 00:23:24,068 Speaker 1: more Rodgers attachment, no more Rogers comparison. When we do that, 533 00:23:24,188 --> 00:23:26,508 Speaker 1: I'll be popping bottles. If his name does not appear 534 00:23:26,508 --> 00:23:29,228 Speaker 1: on the list of people mentioned talking about the Packers, Okay, 535 00:23:29,428 --> 00:23:31,908 Speaker 1: it should not be there. I'm talking about Jordan Love. 536 00:23:31,948 --> 00:23:33,948 Speaker 1: We're past it. Aaron Rodgers not been on the Packers 537 00:23:33,948 --> 00:23:35,828 Speaker 1: for over a year. He didn't do this last year 538 00:23:35,868 --> 00:23:37,788 Speaker 1: and knew it the year before. Jordan Love is his 539 00:23:37,828 --> 00:23:40,428 Speaker 1: own guy. He's incredible, He is the natural. And also, 540 00:23:40,628 --> 00:23:43,548 Speaker 1: no more Ann Rodgers compared to Matt Lafleur. Matt Lafleoor 541 00:23:43,588 --> 00:23:45,588 Speaker 1: has nothing to do with him anymore. He's moved on 542 00:23:45,708 --> 00:23:48,228 Speaker 1: and showing his own brilliance as a coach. I just 543 00:23:48,228 --> 00:23:51,508 Speaker 1: want to remind everyone this Packers team that just destroyed 544 00:23:51,548 --> 00:23:55,348 Speaker 1: Dallas yesterday was three and six. This is a three 545 00:23:55,348 --> 00:23:58,108 Speaker 1: and six dead in the water, terrible team. They lost 546 00:23:58,148 --> 00:23:59,908 Speaker 1: to the Pittsburgh Steelers to go three and six, and 547 00:23:59,948 --> 00:24:03,268 Speaker 1: afterwards Aaron Jones, who's just been brilliant from them, his 548 00:24:03,348 --> 00:24:05,948 Speaker 1: quotes are like, you know, it's a play here and 549 00:24:05,988 --> 00:24:07,548 Speaker 1: a play there with this team, and I'm like, oh, 550 00:24:07,588 --> 00:24:10,348 Speaker 1: that's a loser talk. Every losing team says the same nonsense. 551 00:24:10,588 --> 00:24:12,948 Speaker 1: He goes, well, we're gonna keep working and we're gonna 552 00:24:12,948 --> 00:24:14,548 Speaker 1: get things turned around. And you're like, no, you're not. 553 00:24:14,748 --> 00:24:17,868 Speaker 1: You guys are terrible. The quarterback doesn't really have it, No, 554 00:24:18,028 --> 00:24:20,188 Speaker 1: they have it. They were dead in the water and 555 00:24:20,228 --> 00:24:22,988 Speaker 1: now they are unconscious. And I also just want to 556 00:24:23,028 --> 00:24:26,708 Speaker 1: say this broad picture. I'm gonna set a calendar alert 557 00:24:26,708 --> 00:24:28,628 Speaker 1: for myself and I'd like maybe you guys to help it. 558 00:24:29,068 --> 00:24:32,908 Speaker 1: Around twenty thirty six, when the Packers draft a quarterback 559 00:24:32,908 --> 00:24:35,788 Speaker 1: in the first round, don't freak out, because Jordan Love 560 00:24:35,828 --> 00:24:36,948 Speaker 1: is gonna be on his way to the Hall of Fame. 561 00:24:36,948 --> 00:24:38,348 Speaker 1: He's gonna have a couple of Super Bowl rings.

Remember what happened, because they were damn right 568 00:24:52,308 --> 00:24:54,428 Speaker 1: and they're cruising now and they nailed it. So when 569 00:24:54,468 --> 00:24:56,868 Speaker 1: they do it again and they will give him another 570 00:24:56,908 --> 00:24:59,148 Speaker 1: twelve years, they will draft quarterback in the first round. 571 00:24:59,468 --> 00:25:02,428 Speaker 1: I will not say squat because they stuck it and 572 00:25:02,468 --> 00:25:06,428 Speaker 1: he's great.

They're still working up into game time 670 00:29:07,628 --> 00:29:09,548 Speaker 12: to try to get that area clear, and so we 671 00:29:09,588 --> 00:29:11,148 Speaker 12: will have a game a little different weight. 672 00:29:11,188 --> 00:29:12,428 Speaker 1: But I look at it this way. 673 00:29:12,668 --> 00:29:15,588 Speaker 12: I'm from the Deep South, and Thanksgiving they always tell us, Hey, 674 00:29:15,628 --> 00:29:17,868 Speaker 12: the meal's gonna be ready at two o'clock. It might 675 00:29:17,908 --> 00:29:19,908 Speaker 12: not be ready till four or five, six o'clock, but 676 00:29:19,988 --> 00:29:22,188 Speaker 12: you wait for the great meal. Right, that's what we're 677 00:29:22,188 --> 00:29:25,508 Speaker 12: waiting for this Bill Steelers game. A great game coming 678 00:29:25,588 --> 00:29:27,628 Speaker 12: up later on today. And I'll tell you this. I 679 00:29:27,668 --> 00:29:29,788 Speaker 12: talked to a couple of players and got some perspective 680 00:29:29,828 --> 00:29:32,148 Speaker 12: of what they thought about this game being moved. I 681 00:29:32,148 --> 00:29:33,988 Speaker 12: had a Steelers player that told me they wish the 682 00:29:34,028 --> 00:29:37,548 Speaker 12: game was played Sunday in that windy area because they 683 00:29:37,548 --> 00:29:39,668 Speaker 12: thought it would be an advantage for their defense against 684 00:29:39,708 --> 00:29:42,948 Speaker 12: Josh Allen, maybe take away their biggest advantage. Whereas the 685 00:29:42,988 --> 00:29:45,588 Speaker 12: Bills think Josh Allen can play in any weather. He's 686 00:29:45,588 --> 00:29:47,948 Speaker 12: their all weather quarterback who can throw in this win 687 00:29:48,268 --> 00:29:51,108 Speaker 12: in this crazy environment. I'm eager to see if the 688 00:29:51,228 --> 00:29:54,228 Speaker 12: weather equalizes things for the Steelers as far as their 689 00:29:54,268 --> 00:29:56,668 Speaker 12: run game. And one fun note from the locker room. 690 00:29:56,708 --> 00:29:59,308 Speaker 12: I talked to Bill's defensive tackle Ed Oliver this week. 691 00:29:59,788 --> 00:30:02,308 Speaker 12: Football players are sometimes just like us. I told him 692 00:30:02,308 --> 00:30:05,068 Speaker 12: about the weather. He said a foot of no, I 693 00:30:05,108 --> 00:30:07,548 Speaker 12: don't like snow. I'm from Texas. I don't like playing 694 00:30:07,628 --> 00:30:10,388 Speaker 12: in it. And so luckily Fred Oliver, the snow should 695 00:30:10,588 --> 00:30:12,948 Speaker 12: subside by game time and he won't have to play 696 00:30:12,948 --> 00:30:13,188 Speaker 12: in it. 697 00:30:13,348 --> 00:30:15,188 Speaker 3: Talk about that meal you are waiting for all day? 698 00:30:15,268 --> 00:30:18,228 Speaker 3: Hot meal, Cam, Hot go back inside more up, We'll 699 00:30:18,228 --> 00:30:18,628 Speaker 3: go back to you. 700 00:30:18,588 --> 00:30:19,868 Speaker 4: Go to football in a little bit. 701 00:30:19,948 --> 00:30:22,188 Speaker 3: A job hero in a legend Cam talk to you 702 00:30:22,268 --> 00:30:23,828 Speaker 3: in a little bit. Campbell from Buffalo Peter. 703 00:30:24,268 --> 00:30:26,388 Speaker 5: Yeah, speaking of weather, let's go to the other one. 704 00:30:26,468 --> 00:30:29,708 Speaker 5: Dolphins Chiefs Cammy, I mean, I mean, it's like a 705 00:30:29,828 --> 00:30:32,148 Speaker 5: tessel to remember commercial I was like walking by hand 706 00:30:32,188 --> 00:30:32,468 Speaker 5: in hand. 707 00:30:33,548 --> 00:30:34,188 Speaker 4: That was beautiful. 708 00:30:34,268 --> 00:30:37,348 Speaker 5: It was a car with a bowhun it where Chiefs 709 00:30:37,428 --> 00:30:39,588 Speaker 5: just grinded this thing out in the second half and 710 00:30:39,628 --> 00:30:43,748 Speaker 5: the Miami office, Oh, we're swagsurfing baby, hey two thousand 711 00:30:43,748 --> 00:30:46,588 Speaker 5: and nine. The swag surf was a song and it's 712 00:30:46,628 --> 00:30:49,388 Speaker 5: been a Chiefs tradition this season. Taylor's been to enough 713 00:30:49,428 --> 00:30:52,308 Speaker 5: games where she knows about it now, right, and she's 714 00:30:52,388 --> 00:30:56,108 Speaker 5: engaging and Peacock with their twenty three million viewers and 715 00:30:56,228 --> 00:31:00,748 Speaker 5: ninth number sees the Chiefs twenty six to seven victors. 716 00:31:01,308 --> 00:31:04,748 Speaker 5: Freezing temperature is no problem for our defending champions, while 717 00:31:04,788 --> 00:31:05,948 Speaker 5: the Dolphins back to. 718 00:31:05,948 --> 00:31:10,068 Speaker 3: The drawing boarder everyone feeling the responsibility to address certain 719 00:31:10,148 --> 00:31:13,148 Speaker 3: topics this morning after that game. Over the weekend, we 720 00:31:13,228 --> 00:31:15,268 Speaker 3: covered the Packers. If a Packers fan wants to watch 721 00:31:15,268 --> 00:31:17,428 Speaker 3: what GMFB did, we got nine minutes in the first hour. 722 00:31:17,508 --> 00:31:19,668 Speaker 3: There are also things to discuss as it pertains to 723 00:31:19,668 --> 00:31:20,188 Speaker 3: the Cowboys. 724 00:31:20,268 --> 00:31:20,868 Speaker 4: Right now, Ian. 725 00:31:20,788 --> 00:31:22,828 Speaker 3: Rappaport joining us, what can you tell us about Mike 726 00:31:22,908 --> 00:31:25,468 Speaker 3: McCarthy this morning, that topic and whether or not he'll 727 00:31:25,468 --> 00:31:26,748 Speaker 3: remain the head coach the Cowboys. 728 00:31:27,108 --> 00:31:29,908 Speaker 2: Yeah, Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones running the Cowboys have 729 00:31:29,948 --> 00:31:35,028 Speaker 2: a significant decision to make today, tomorrow, whenever this decision comes. 730 00:31:35,028 --> 00:31:37,308 Speaker 2: Because I think it's fair to say the job status 731 00:31:37,468 --> 00:31:40,108 Speaker 2: of Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy is up in the air 732 00:31:40,188 --> 00:31:42,868 Speaker 2: right now. It has been four years one playoff win, 733 00:31:42,988 --> 00:31:46,028 Speaker 2: came into the playoffs with a juggernaut of an offensive 734 00:31:46,068 --> 00:31:48,908 Speaker 2: team the number two seed at home, after being winless 735 00:31:48,948 --> 00:31:53,308 Speaker 2: at home, came out with a humbling, disastrous defeat. He 736 00:31:53,468 --> 00:31:56,548 Speaker 2: is going into a contract year this coming year, twenty 737 00:31:56,588 --> 00:31:59,988 Speaker 2: twenty four. Generally that means organizations have to make a decision. 738 00:32:00,028 --> 00:32:03,228 Speaker 2: Do I re up a coach for his next four 739 00:32:03,308 --> 00:32:05,428 Speaker 2: or five years or however it is, or do I 740 00:32:05,508 --> 00:32:07,868 Speaker 2: move on and say it is not working. That is 741 00:32:07,908 --> 00:32:10,948 Speaker 2: the situation that the Jones are tasked with today. There's 742 00:32:10,988 --> 00:32:13,108 Speaker 2: a lot of frustration, there's a lot of angst, there's 743 00:32:13,108 --> 00:32:15,748 Speaker 2: a lot of uncertainty. Talking to people on that staff, 744 00:32:15,788 --> 00:32:18,268 Speaker 2: I think they really wonder is this it is this 745 00:32:18,348 --> 00:32:20,788 Speaker 2: the end for Mike McCarthy. Fair to say No one 746 00:32:20,828 --> 00:32:24,308 Speaker 2: knows a firm decision for the Dallas Cowboys, but it's 747 00:32:24,308 --> 00:32:27,268 Speaker 2: not looking great. And when you consider that many other 748 00:32:27,548 --> 00:32:31,668 Speaker 2: organizations seven actually right now are undergoing their head coaching searches. 749 00:32:31,668 --> 00:32:33,508 Speaker 2: If the Cowboys did it, they'd be a little behind. 750 00:32:34,028 --> 00:32:38,028 Speaker 2: Plus consider that a coach like Bill Belichick, Mike Frable, 751 00:32:38,028 --> 00:32:41,348 Speaker 2: I mean, there's some very big name, very successful coaches 752 00:32:41,428 --> 00:32:44,268 Speaker 2: out there. If the Cowboys are going to make this decision, 753 00:32:44,588 --> 00:32:47,188 Speaker 2: it would behoove them to do it sooner rather than later. 754 00:32:47,668 --> 00:32:50,188 Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's a very popular image of Bill Belichick 755 00:32:50,228 --> 00:32:52,308 Speaker 3: from I think a scouting combine years ago eating a 756 00:32:52,308 --> 00:32:54,908 Speaker 3: bucket of popcorn. Watching that everyone was using on Twitter 757 00:32:54,988 --> 00:32:58,268 Speaker 3: last night watching that Cowboys game unfold over the weekend. 758 00:32:58,308 --> 00:32:59,108 Speaker 5: It's very applicable. 759 00:32:59,148 --> 00:33:01,268 Speaker 3: We're going to get to the coaching scenarios for the 760 00:33:01,268 --> 00:33:04,028 Speaker 3: Cowboys just a second. But it was a dismantling at 761 00:33:04,028 --> 00:33:06,108 Speaker 3: the hand of the Green Bay Packers this weekend. 762 00:33:06,268 --> 00:33:09,628 Speaker 5: Yeah, this was this was an object failure for the 763 00:33:09,708 --> 00:33:13,308 Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys. We're gonna revel in what the Packers did 764 00:33:13,428 --> 00:33:16,228 Speaker 5: all week long and we're gonna be like Cowboys fans, 765 00:33:17,108 --> 00:33:19,708 Speaker 5: where are you at right now? There's a great story 766 00:33:19,748 --> 00:33:23,668 Speaker 5: that Mike Voccaro, the legendary New York Post columnist, tells 767 00:33:23,668 --> 00:33:27,068 Speaker 5: often about Marty Schottenheimer was his coach who who could 768 00:33:27,108 --> 00:33:29,548 Speaker 5: always win regular season games and the playoffs would come 769 00:33:29,588 --> 00:33:31,748 Speaker 5: just short. In Cleveland, he was a victim of John 770 00:33:31,748 --> 00:33:34,148 Speaker 5: Elway twice and was eventually fired. Then he goes to 771 00:33:34,228 --> 00:33:36,388 Speaker 5: Kansas City and they're thirteen and three and they lose 772 00:33:36,428 --> 00:33:39,228 Speaker 5: to the Broncos. And Vaccaro writes in a column that, 773 00:33:39,388 --> 00:33:43,508 Speaker 5: you know the quote from from from Schottenheimer's we're knocking out, 774 00:33:43,508 --> 00:33:44,708 Speaker 5: We're knocking on the door. We're not going on the door. 775 00:33:44,708 --> 00:33:47,388 Speaker 5: Eventually we're gonna knock down the damn door. And then 776 00:33:47,428 --> 00:33:50,028 Speaker 5: he turns off the recorder and everyone is told to 777 00:33:50,028 --> 00:33:53,988 Speaker 5: turn off their recorders. And Schottenheimer, whose son ironically is 778 00:33:53,988 --> 00:33:57,508 Speaker 5: the offensive coordinator of the Cowboys, now looks to their 779 00:33:57,548 --> 00:34:00,148 Speaker 5: reporters and says, what am I doing wrong? Guys like 780 00:34:01,188 --> 00:34:04,188 Speaker 5: and it's this like feeling of like humanity, and it's 781 00:34:04,188 --> 00:34:06,788 Speaker 5: this feeling of just like there's a person there. So 782 00:34:06,868 --> 00:34:09,148 Speaker 5: you got to consider that with Mike McCarthy here, he 783 00:34:09,228 --> 00:34:12,228 Speaker 5: wants to win so badly he wants to and yet 784 00:34:12,388 --> 00:34:14,788 Speaker 5: big game after big game after big game with this 785 00:34:14,868 --> 00:34:17,748 Speaker 5: Dallas Cowboys franchise that hasn't happened. He also happens to 786 00:34:17,748 --> 00:34:21,268 Speaker 5: play in the biggest media market as far as football 787 00:34:21,308 --> 00:34:23,308 Speaker 5: goes in the world, and this is the number one 788 00:34:23,348 --> 00:34:26,748 Speaker 5: franchise as far as Forbes goes, in the entire sports 789 00:34:26,828 --> 00:34:30,228 Speaker 5: landscape in this country. And it's like this, you can't 790 00:34:30,228 --> 00:34:34,068 Speaker 5: lose in the wildcard round. You can't. And Jerry all 791 00:34:34,148 --> 00:34:37,308 Speaker 5: season hasn't been committed to Hey, McCarthy's definitely our coach 792 00:34:37,388 --> 00:34:40,468 Speaker 5: next year. He had everyone who knows anything around Dallas 793 00:34:40,508 --> 00:34:42,068 Speaker 5: is like it depends how the playoffs go. Well, the 794 00:34:42,108 --> 00:34:44,428 Speaker 5: playoffs were an object failure. I have a heart for 795 00:34:44,468 --> 00:34:46,308 Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy. I like him as a man. I think 796 00:34:46,348 --> 00:34:49,108 Speaker 5: he's a good dude. I don't know if they can 797 00:34:49,228 --> 00:34:51,468 Speaker 5: look to their fan base after this loss yesterday and 798 00:34:51,468 --> 00:34:53,588 Speaker 5: say our best chance of winning next year is with 799 00:34:53,628 --> 00:34:54,988 Speaker 5: Mike McCarthy on the sidelines. 800 00:34:55,108 --> 00:34:56,948 Speaker 6: And it was so tough to watch because as you're 801 00:34:56,948 --> 00:34:59,508 Speaker 6: talking about Mike McCarthy and I was awesome with the 802 00:34:59,508 --> 00:35:02,628 Speaker 6: comparison that you just made and the offense struggling, and 803 00:35:02,708 --> 00:35:05,068 Speaker 6: Dak said, it is if Mike mca these jobs on 804 00:35:05,108 --> 00:35:07,948 Speaker 6: the line social mine because he said he sucked. Well, 805 00:35:07,948 --> 00:35:10,348 Speaker 6: look on the other side of it, the Dallas Cowboys 806 00:35:10,348 --> 00:35:13,108 Speaker 6: team was not only built on Dak Prescott his unbelievable 807 00:35:13,108 --> 00:35:16,108 Speaker 6: performers this year, but their defense. Like we've been glowing 808 00:35:16,148 --> 00:35:18,708 Speaker 6: about what Dan Quinn was able to do with them 809 00:35:18,708 --> 00:35:20,868 Speaker 6: and turn them around the way Michael Parsons gets after 810 00:35:20,948 --> 00:35:24,628 Speaker 6: the quarterback in sack Jordan Love not one time, like 811 00:35:24,708 --> 00:35:28,388 Speaker 6: didn't sack him at all, and he absolutely carved up 812 00:35:28,548 --> 00:35:31,588 Speaker 6: this Cowboys defense. They couldn't stop a Nosebley gave up 813 00:35:31,628 --> 00:35:33,508 Speaker 6: the most points for them in playoffs history. As the 814 00:35:33,588 --> 00:35:36,868 Speaker 6: Dallas Cowboys scene watching that game, it's bad, and I 815 00:35:36,908 --> 00:35:38,428 Speaker 6: know all the blame is gonna go on. 816 00:35:38,468 --> 00:35:40,068 Speaker 4: McCarthy and Dak Prescott. 817 00:35:40,588 --> 00:35:44,908 Speaker 6: The defense was equally as bad when they scored points 818 00:35:45,108 --> 00:35:47,108 Speaker 6: right before halftime. They got the ball, all right, they 819 00:35:47,148 --> 00:35:48,828 Speaker 6: go down, they kick a field, all right, maybe the 820 00:35:48,868 --> 00:35:51,428 Speaker 6: Cowboys have a chance. Nope, Packers get the ball back, 821 00:35:51,468 --> 00:35:54,108 Speaker 6: they go straight down the field and they score a 822 00:35:54,148 --> 00:35:57,428 Speaker 6: touchdown again. This one was never, never an opportunity for 823 00:35:57,468 --> 00:35:59,268 Speaker 6: the Cowboys to make any type of comeback. 824 00:35:59,508 --> 00:36:01,268 Speaker 4: And I was more surprised about. 825 00:36:01,028 --> 00:36:04,228 Speaker 6: How poor the defense played, because yes, the Dak and 826 00:36:04,228 --> 00:36:06,868 Speaker 6: all of that stuff, but dan Quinn hanging his hat 827 00:36:06,948 --> 00:36:08,788 Speaker 6: on them and then being able to at least get 828 00:36:08,788 --> 00:36:11,188 Speaker 6: after Jordan Love and put pressure on him, especially as 829 00:36:11,188 --> 00:36:13,348 Speaker 6: a young quarterback in his first playoff game, and it 830 00:36:13,508 --> 00:36:14,508 Speaker 6: just never happened. 831 00:36:14,508 --> 00:36:17,468 Speaker 4: They were never able to do anything. Dan Quinn called zone. 832 00:36:17,628 --> 00:36:19,548 Speaker 6: Jordan Love had too much time, he found an open 833 00:36:19,588 --> 00:36:21,868 Speaker 6: guy when he went. Man and Man were watching Romeo 834 00:36:21,988 --> 00:36:24,548 Speaker 6: dob carved the corners up, getting back to the outside 835 00:36:24,588 --> 00:36:27,748 Speaker 6: and making places. There were absolutely no answers for Laflor 836 00:36:27,788 --> 00:36:29,788 Speaker 6: and his offense, and that to me was the more 837 00:36:29,828 --> 00:36:30,428 Speaker 6: shocking thing. 838 00:36:30,628 --> 00:36:33,428 Speaker 1: Been asking the question all year, why is this Cowboys 839 00:36:33,468 --> 00:36:36,588 Speaker 1: team any different? And they showed us that instead of 840 00:36:36,708 --> 00:36:39,548 Speaker 1: losing the divisional round, they didn't get the divisional round. 841 00:36:39,628 --> 00:36:42,268 Speaker 1: That's different. This one hits different as well. We have 842 00:36:42,468 --> 00:36:45,108 Speaker 1: before the game Jimmy Johnson saying he thinks it's the 843 00:36:45,108 --> 00:36:47,468 Speaker 1: best Cowboys team since the nineties. He said that, you 844 00:36:47,548 --> 00:36:49,788 Speaker 1: have Jerry Jones after the game saying it's his most big, 845 00:36:49,868 --> 00:36:52,628 Speaker 1: biggest disappointment since he got involved in sports. The reason 846 00:36:52,628 --> 00:36:55,908 Speaker 1: this really hits different is the question of if not now, 847 00:36:56,428 --> 00:36:59,308 Speaker 1: when let's just look at the facts, The Cowboys say 848 00:36:59,388 --> 00:37:02,508 Speaker 1: we are home, we are healthy, and we didn't get 849 00:37:02,508 --> 00:37:07,268 Speaker 1: beat we got destroyed. We are loaded, star quarterbacks, star 850 00:37:07,308 --> 00:37:11,108 Speaker 1: wide receiver, star pastor, veteran coach, great defense, great old line, 851 00:37:11,348 --> 00:37:14,588 Speaker 1: historic kicker, and we didn't lose. We got destroyed. We 852 00:37:14,628 --> 00:37:19,628 Speaker 1: are playing a neophyte playoff quarterback, a team of children 853 00:37:20,228 --> 00:37:23,868 Speaker 1: and without one single pro bowler, and we didn't lose. 854 00:37:24,108 --> 00:37:26,668 Speaker 1: We got destroyed. I tried to do this thing where 855 00:37:26,668 --> 00:37:28,428 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't want to talk about the Cowboys, 856 00:37:28,468 --> 00:37:29,948 Speaker 1: and it's not stick. I don't want to talk about 857 00:37:29,948 --> 00:37:31,748 Speaker 1: them to the playoff, because that's all you need to see. 858 00:37:32,308 --> 00:37:35,108 Speaker 1: The Cowboys at this point have a quality of a 859 00:37:35,308 --> 00:37:38,828 Speaker 1: new religion. And I'm talking about not a traditional one, 860 00:37:39,228 --> 00:37:44,308 Speaker 1: a new fangled, modern, manufactured religion in which people buy 861 00:37:44,388 --> 00:37:47,348 Speaker 1: in and they devote their time and their attention to 862 00:37:47,468 --> 00:37:51,588 Speaker 1: this alleged light and truth. And in the middle of 863 00:37:51,628 --> 00:37:55,788 Speaker 1: it is a charismatic Southern preacher man, and he always 864 00:37:55,828 --> 00:38:00,468 Speaker 1: has big plans for promises and a glorious salvation. And 865 00:38:00,508 --> 00:38:03,788 Speaker 1: there's these old stories of the past and these mythical figures, 866 00:38:03,828 --> 00:38:07,468 Speaker 1: and there's cimbals and there's stars, and there's this megachurch 867 00:38:07,628 --> 00:38:10,548 Speaker 1: edifice that they play in, and there's money being pumped 868 00:38:10,548 --> 00:38:13,748 Speaker 1: into it, and money and money. But what's missing is 869 00:38:13,788 --> 00:38:18,828 Speaker 1: something called validation of faith. Give us something, show us 870 00:38:18,868 --> 00:38:22,428 Speaker 1: why the belief, Validate our belief, show us a miracle, 871 00:38:22,588 --> 00:38:28,268 Speaker 1: validate us. They're a false prophet, They're not real. How 872 00:38:28,308 --> 00:38:33,548 Speaker 1: about them Cowboys? What about them? What? It comes back 873 00:38:33,548 --> 00:38:36,548 Speaker 1: to the same question it has for a quarter century. 874 00:38:37,108 --> 00:38:41,788 Speaker 1: WWJD What will Jerry do? And do we even care? 875 00:38:42,348 --> 00:38:45,468 Speaker 1: It's a fake, manufactured religion that we blindly buy into 876 00:38:45,628 --> 00:38:48,468 Speaker 1: and that never pays off at the end. And I 877 00:38:48,468 --> 00:38:50,428 Speaker 1: wish more people would start opening their eyes and seeing 878 00:38:50,428 --> 00:38:51,748 Speaker 1: the real light because it doesn't exist. 879 00:38:52,228 --> 00:38:53,148 Speaker 4: Can I ask you a question? 880 00:38:53,308 --> 00:38:55,868 Speaker 3: Yeah, did you have that prepared to say? If they 881 00:38:55,948 --> 00:38:58,348 Speaker 3: even had made it to the divisional round and lost? 882 00:38:58,588 --> 00:39:01,228 Speaker 3: Were that expectation? Was it only Super Bowl or bus 883 00:39:01,268 --> 00:39:02,748 Speaker 3: for you for you to be proven? 884 00:39:02,748 --> 00:39:06,148 Speaker 1: Differently? About the Cowboys, I was very surprise they lost. Listen, 885 00:39:06,388 --> 00:39:08,988 Speaker 1: I picked the just the kind of pick the Cowboys, 886 00:39:09,028 --> 00:39:11,068 Speaker 1: And some of that was the Packers, but most of 887 00:39:11,108 --> 00:39:13,148 Speaker 1: it was the Cowboys. You know, they're sixteen to know 888 00:39:13,228 --> 00:39:16,148 Speaker 1: at home the last two years fantastic we're talking about 889 00:39:16,188 --> 00:39:18,188 Speaker 1: you know, they have the thirty six wins of the 890 00:39:18,228 --> 00:39:20,508 Speaker 1: last three years. They're one and three in the playoffs. 891 00:39:20,508 --> 00:39:23,468 Speaker 1: And this thing about Jerry says he was floored. Jerry, 892 00:39:23,668 --> 00:39:27,028 Speaker 1: honestly were floored. Were you genuinely floored? There was nothing 893 00:39:27,068 --> 00:39:29,548 Speaker 1: in you that thought man, Mike, Mike McCarthy, I'm not 894 00:39:29,548 --> 00:39:32,388 Speaker 1: sure he has this, the whole McCarthy thing. We're gonna 895 00:39:32,388 --> 00:39:34,708 Speaker 1: talk about this for weeks. When they hired him, his 896 00:39:34,988 --> 00:39:37,668 Speaker 1: mo was, I have great teams that are really talented 897 00:39:37,668 --> 00:39:39,348 Speaker 1: that don't pan out in the playoffs. To look up 898 00:39:39,388 --> 00:39:41,668 Speaker 1: the potential, and now he's one and three in the playoffs. 899 00:39:41,748 --> 00:39:44,708 Speaker 1: He didn't have any sort of misrepresentation. There was no 900 00:39:44,748 --> 00:39:47,628 Speaker 1: hidden baalter with Mike McCarthy. Mike McCarthy has been exactly 901 00:39:47,708 --> 00:39:49,708 Speaker 1: who he's always been. He won a Super Bowl years 902 00:39:49,748 --> 00:39:51,308 Speaker 1: ago with the best quarterback on the planet, had an 903 00:39:51,308 --> 00:39:53,628 Speaker 1: amazing run, and then never got back to one since. 904 00:39:53,628 --> 00:39:56,348 Speaker 1: And they hired him saying Mike McCarthy's the guy to 905 00:39:56,388 --> 00:39:58,948 Speaker 1: do with Jason Garrett. Couldn't he never was, He's not. 906 00:39:59,268 --> 00:40:03,188 Speaker 1: I don't know anyone making the case about like, ah, man, Mike, 907 00:40:03,308 --> 00:40:04,948 Speaker 1: just give Mike one more time this. I don't know 908 00:40:04,988 --> 00:40:07,068 Speaker 1: why they had him to begin with. I never liked it, 909 00:40:07,148 --> 00:40:09,308 Speaker 1: and all he's done since he showed up is validate 910 00:40:09,428 --> 00:40:11,588 Speaker 1: all of that and be always who he has always been. 911 00:40:11,628 --> 00:40:13,108 Speaker 1: I don't know what the cases to keep him, and 912 00:40:13,108 --> 00:40:13,868 Speaker 1: I don't think they will. 913 00:40:13,948 --> 00:40:16,748 Speaker 3: And what's crazy about the Mike McCarthy observation and experience 914 00:40:16,748 --> 00:40:19,148 Speaker 3: from this weekend in particular, is the parallel that it 915 00:40:19,228 --> 00:40:22,268 Speaker 3: inherently draws to Dan Quinn and that name as it 916 00:40:22,308 --> 00:40:24,668 Speaker 3: pertains to head coaching jobs, whether it be in Dallas 917 00:40:24,748 --> 00:40:26,188 Speaker 3: or around the league. Now that we know that there 918 00:40:26,188 --> 00:40:28,548 Speaker 3: are still seven spots available. To Jason's point, this is 919 00:40:28,588 --> 00:40:30,668 Speaker 3: a team that gave up forty eight points at home, 920 00:40:30,748 --> 00:40:32,868 Speaker 3: a place that they were not doing that all season long. 921 00:40:32,948 --> 00:40:34,148 Speaker 1: How does this affect Jason? 922 00:40:34,188 --> 00:40:37,148 Speaker 3: Do you think the Cowboys decision to either retain Mike McCarthy, 923 00:40:37,348 --> 00:40:40,028 Speaker 3: which I think at this point feels a little shocking 924 00:40:40,028 --> 00:40:42,148 Speaker 3: if they were to do that, but also dan Quinn 925 00:40:42,188 --> 00:40:44,428 Speaker 3: in this amazing defense that he built up, and how 926 00:40:44,428 --> 00:40:45,148 Speaker 3: that impacts him. 927 00:40:45,188 --> 00:40:46,948 Speaker 4: I know it's one game, but it has something to 928 00:40:46,988 --> 00:40:47,588 Speaker 4: do with it. Yeah. 929 00:40:47,628 --> 00:40:49,588 Speaker 6: I think for Jared Jones, I think the reason he 930 00:40:49,668 --> 00:40:52,028 Speaker 6: was floor is because the way that game went we've 931 00:40:52,028 --> 00:40:54,268 Speaker 6: watched him lose games. At the very end, we've talked 932 00:40:54,268 --> 00:40:57,188 Speaker 6: and we've scrutinized McCarthy of the last play call what 933 00:40:57,308 --> 00:40:59,188 Speaker 6: they weren't able to get over the hump. But they 934 00:40:59,228 --> 00:41:01,108 Speaker 6: never had a chance. There was never a single play 935 00:41:01,148 --> 00:41:03,668 Speaker 6: call in this one that happened but for dan Quinn. 936 00:41:03,708 --> 00:41:06,348 Speaker 6: And you're looking at I think Jerry Jones feelings about 937 00:41:06,388 --> 00:41:08,988 Speaker 6: dan Quinn probably go beyond just that game, beyond just 938 00:41:09,028 --> 00:41:10,868 Speaker 6: the x's and oles. It has to do with his 939 00:41:10,988 --> 00:41:13,588 Speaker 6: leadership of probably being in front of that locker room 940 00:41:13,628 --> 00:41:14,468 Speaker 6: each and every day. 941 00:41:14,868 --> 00:41:15,268 Speaker 5: But what a. 942 00:41:15,268 --> 00:41:17,548 Speaker 6: Performance like what the Cowboys did yesterday. I don't know 943 00:41:17,548 --> 00:41:20,708 Speaker 6: how you validate bringing anybody in, whether it's Dan Quinn 944 00:41:20,828 --> 00:41:22,508 Speaker 6: or Mike McCarthy next year and say, you know what, 945 00:41:22,748 --> 00:41:24,708 Speaker 6: this is the guy that's gonna get us back over 946 00:41:24,748 --> 00:41:26,308 Speaker 6: the help of what we failed to do the last 947 00:41:26,348 --> 00:41:28,948 Speaker 6: few years in the playoffs. If he's gonna get rid 948 00:41:28,988 --> 00:41:30,708 Speaker 6: of Mike McCarthy, I will think at this point, you 949 00:41:30,748 --> 00:41:33,028 Speaker 6: start newing, you bring something brand new, and to say 950 00:41:33,148 --> 00:41:35,428 Speaker 6: all right, this is the group that's gonna get us 951 00:41:35,428 --> 00:41:36,748 Speaker 6: to the super Bowl and get us back to the 952 00:41:36,748 --> 00:41:37,308 Speaker 6: Promised Land. 953 00:41:37,468 --> 00:41:39,268 Speaker 4: But after that performance yesterday. 954 00:41:38,948 --> 00:41:41,748 Speaker 6: From top to bottom, all the way from Aubrey missing kicks, 955 00:41:41,908 --> 00:41:43,388 Speaker 6: it was just it was ugly. 956 00:41:43,548 --> 00:41:45,748 Speaker 5: Yeah. Look, that's the most points ever given up in 957 00:41:45,788 --> 00:41:49,428 Speaker 5: a playoff game by the Dallas Cowboys, and it's the 958 00:41:49,508 --> 00:41:52,028 Speaker 5: eighth time they're one and done since nineteen ninety five. 959 00:41:52,188 --> 00:41:55,948 Speaker 5: Like your thing is spot on with this light of hey, 960 00:41:55,948 --> 00:41:58,188 Speaker 5: and then what's different this year? Like, well, what's the 961 00:41:58,188 --> 00:42:00,668 Speaker 5: definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over? 962 00:42:00,708 --> 00:42:02,788 Speaker 1: We'll do it next year, so we will end will 963 00:42:02,908 --> 00:42:03,308 Speaker 1: all right? 964 00:42:03,348 --> 00:42:05,228 Speaker 5: So I think if you're a Cowboys fan waking up 965 00:42:05,228 --> 00:42:05,668 Speaker 5: this morning and. 966 00:42:05,668 --> 00:42:08,268 Speaker 1: Said, I can't do it. I can't get excited again. 967 00:42:08,788 --> 00:42:10,228 Speaker 1: I can't build it all up. 968 00:42:10,188 --> 00:42:13,508 Speaker 5: Again next year. Because this regular season, despite the losses 969 00:42:13,508 --> 00:42:16,468 Speaker 5: to the Cardinals and the Eagles and and of course 970 00:42:16,508 --> 00:42:19,268 Speaker 5: the blow out to the Niners, like it felt different. 971 00:42:19,508 --> 00:42:22,188 Speaker 5: It felt special. And last week when the Eagles were 972 00:42:22,188 --> 00:42:24,628 Speaker 5: faltering to the Giants and the Cowboys just went into 973 00:42:24,708 --> 00:42:26,628 Speaker 5: Washington and just put us lamming on and it was 974 00:42:26,708 --> 00:42:28,788 Speaker 5: like all right, like they slammed the door. They're the 975 00:42:28,868 --> 00:42:33,028 Speaker 5: nfcas titled the two Seed, a wide open NFC talking 976 00:42:33,068 --> 00:42:35,988 Speaker 5: about an undefeated team at home the last two years 977 00:42:36,068 --> 00:42:38,228 Speaker 5: and they have a playoff game in their building and 978 00:42:38,268 --> 00:42:41,668 Speaker 5: they get rocked and gosh, someone said, yeah, but Dak 979 00:42:41,708 --> 00:42:43,828 Speaker 5: played well. I heard them like four hundred and four 980 00:42:43,908 --> 00:42:45,588 Speaker 5: yards that you'll never think of again. You should never 981 00:42:45,628 --> 00:42:48,988 Speaker 5: even consider again, empty calories. It was twenty seven to 982 00:42:49,028 --> 00:42:49,748 Speaker 5: nothing at home. 983 00:42:50,188 --> 00:42:51,188 Speaker 1: We're talking McCarthy. 984 00:42:51,508 --> 00:42:53,948 Speaker 5: Hey, if Dak wants to be a sixty million dollar man, 985 00:42:53,948 --> 00:42:55,828 Speaker 5: that might be a hard check for me to sign too. 986 00:42:56,148 --> 00:42:59,188 Speaker 6: You mentioned the fans, and my older brother Larry is 987 00:42:59,428 --> 00:42:59,868 Speaker 6: one of. 988 00:42:59,788 --> 00:43:01,228 Speaker 4: The biggest cowboy fans. 989 00:43:01,268 --> 00:43:03,828 Speaker 6: After the text meaches I got last night when the 990 00:43:03,868 --> 00:43:06,908 Speaker 6: game was sealed and done, I'm so happy I don't 991 00:43:06,908 --> 00:43:08,788 Speaker 6: have to go to work tomorrow because it's going to 992 00:43:08,868 --> 00:43:11,508 Speaker 6: take me a day to process.
