Speaker 2: let's get your flexod here's Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon.

10
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 4: Well, that's a wrap on the NFL's regular season, and

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 4: now we look ahead to the playoffs. And guys, we

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 4: look ahead to the unemployment line. Six jobs now available

13
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 4: in the NFL. He's Mike Carmen. Find him at Swollen Dome.

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 4: That's Ian Roddy, our executive producer. Fine, you meant Ian

15
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 4: Roddy underscore. You find me at Dan Byer on Fox.

16
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 4: Did I get that right?

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: Ian with it? Ian Roddy underscore for the X.

18
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: That's right?

19
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, just head the double check. It's the

20
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 4: new year. You never know, you may get it wrong.

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, remember the tail at the end. Yeah, that's right. Okay,

22
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: that's a good way to remember it.

23
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm at dan Byer on Fox and We've got

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: a lot to discuss. We've got a wildcard matchups in

25
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 4: the AFC and NFC that we will get to. But

26
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 4: I do want to start out with what was Black

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 4: Monday in the NFL, and the actually started on Sunday

28
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 4: night with Raheem Morris being dismissed by the Falcons. We

29
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 4: knew the Titans job was open, we knew the Giants

30
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 4: job was open, and now we found out that the Browns, Cardinals,

31
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: and Raiders.

32
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: Are also looking for new head coaches. Six is the

33
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: number right now.

34
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 4: Could always change, Mike, but that's about the handful I

35
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 4: think that people thought going into this offseason.

36
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, we always do the six to eight. There are

37
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 5: a couple of surprises, I'm sure Ian even though we

38
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 5: knew the proverbial vote of confidence had been out there

39
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 5: for Aaron Glenn, still we're waiting for the sort of damnicicles.

40
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,919
Speaker 5: Still some rumors about Lafleur. Should they go and get

41
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 5: worked or just beaten by the Bears in the wildcard

42
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 5: round Harbaugh in Baltimore, what may or may not transpire

43
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 5: there so still potential for some more chaos in here.

44
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 5: But Steichen's gonna stay Cincinnati either stay in the course

45
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 5: in terms of you know, surprises to any of it.

46
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 5: I mean nice ron at the end for Raheem Morris,

47
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 5: was he the guy that forced Michael Pennix to start

48
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 5: the season?

49
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: Maybe?

50
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 3: Sorry, I I gotta ask the questions here.

51
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 5: You know, when he comes down because they finished strong, right,

52
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 5: they finished tied for the division lead eight and nine.

53
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 5: They're right where they were supposed to be. Well all right,

54
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 5: two games under what the projection was. But all in

55
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 5: he ends up finding his way to the unemployment line

56
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 5: with their GM Pete Carroll. We kind of tearfully said

57
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 5: goodbye because it's the end of an era of coach

58
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 5: and then Kevin Stefanski will be hired by time this

59
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 5: podcast posts.

60
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: Probably yeah, he's a hot name that's out there there.

61
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 4: Raheem Morris one though, does go back to the quarterback

62
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 4: situation in how everything evolved, and also a team doesn't

63
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 4: look as bad as it did at one point in

64
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 4: the season, but the trade made last year to trade

65
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 4: away your first round pick ends up being thirteenth, a

66
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 4: couple of top breakers could have been twenty four to

67
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: twenty five, and then it's kind of no damage. But

68
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 4: at one point we really thought this was an awful

69
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 4: trade by the Atlanta Falcons. In the end, maybe not

70
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 4: as bad. But when you're the Falcons and you're eight

71
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 4: to nine and you see these other teams Tampa, I mean,

72
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 4: everything seemed to go wrong for Tampa from about like

73
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 4: week six on. They just weren't the same team. And

74
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: then you had this Carolina team that was whatever, but

75
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 4: they beat Atlanta twice this year. And so if you're

76
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 4: Arthur Blank and you're looking at this Panthers team and

77
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 4: you're saying, boy, what could have been? I mean, heck,

78
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 4: they manhandled the Rams. The Falcons did as you said,

79
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 4: they played good football seemingly down the stretch, but you

80
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 4: kind of have to wonder where did this all go wrong?

81
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 4: They weren't necessarily great with Pennix, and now, like the

82
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 4: pieces that you would need to fill out this team

83
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: maybe weren't there for this year and now maybe won't

84
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: be for next year because of the moves that you made.

85
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 4: And I assume if Terry Fontt knows probably was Mike honesty,

86
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: he may have been the first one out. But you

87
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 4: just do it procedural and fire Raheem and then fire

88
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 4: font No next. But if they were going to bring

89
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 4: in a new GM, and it sure seems like they're

90
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 4: restructuring their front office. That doesn't seem like there was

91
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: much hope for Raheem Morris to stick around anyway.

92
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 5: No, you look at kicking McKay upstairs to another level

93
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 5: and font No out. So now you make those choices,

94
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 5: new GM, new coach, new guy, But some significant roster

95
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 5: questions that you have to address because Kyle Pitts is

96
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 5: an unrestricted free agent. Are you gonna franchise him? Are

97
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 5: you gonna pay him? Have you seen enough in his

98
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,119
Speaker 5: five years that you suddenly are thinking he's the world

99
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 5: beating guy going forward? I don't know your quarterback position. Look,

100
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 5: with Kirk Cousins contract, it'll be him and whatever Pennix

101
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 5: is or whatever he's back, I would assume, because I

102
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 5: don't see or presume that any team's coming in to

103
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 5: rescue Arthur Blank from that cap hit unless he takes

104
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,839
Speaker 5: on a significant part of it, Which was part of

105
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 5: the problem coming into this season. Who knew they'd need

106
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins as early as they did because of the

107
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 5: big injury to Penix and Cousins obviously slow coming back,

108
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 5: but coming off a big injury himself, looked pretty good

109
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 5: down the stretch in spots and then Bijon you just

110
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 5: figure out how to give him the world right, but

111
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 5: in a division that was there to be taken to

112
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 5: your point, Dan, you didn't go get it right. Tampa

113
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 5: winning those games early miraculously, Carolina, I saw the cool

114
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,719
Speaker 5: grid someone put up on Twitter, the here's the point

115
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 5: differential by playoff teams, and then you have to scroll

116
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 5: forever to get it to where Caroline is like the

117
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 5: difference between Yeah, no, it's funny, so like dot dot

118
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 5: dot dot dot all the way down to what is

119
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 5: it minus sixty eight? So you know, so you've got

120
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 5: like a two hundred point gap between the best team

121
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 5: in the NFL playoffs and where they are, even though

122
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 5: Bryce Young and company made strides, Ted McMillan go on

123
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 5: down the line, the running back whatever. But all of

124
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 5: that to say, you had the if you'd gotten the

125
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 5: defense to the level that it was supposed to be

126
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 5: and jump started that offense a bit earlier the playoffs.

127
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 5: So Arthur Blank didn't have the patience and Raheem Morris

128
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 5: finds himself on the outs.

129
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 3: Too bad that you know, he one guy with the

130
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 3: great meme stayed.

131
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: The other didn't.

132
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 3: With Well Morris had the great meme.

133
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 5: Of you know, after a special team's play of you know,

134
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 5: gesturing to the camera and all. And then he had

135
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 5: Aaron Glenn still in with the Jets dancing on the sideline.

136
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 3: Before they lost.

137
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, the high stepping Yaron Glenn and the win against

138
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 4: the Bucks with Raheem doing that. Yeah, now I follow

139
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 4: It's it is interesting. I think it's a I think

140
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 4: it's an appealing job with Atlanta, with that division with

141
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 4: b John Robinson. You mentioned Kalpits. Something's wrong with Drake London,

142
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 4: you know, saw the outburst. But yeah, there's there's gonna

143
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: be an opportunity there. And again the trade that they

144
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: made to give up their first round pick looks a

145
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 4: lot better now than it did in the middle of

146
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 4: the year. Also at the beginning of the year when

147
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 4: you thought like this draft class was going to be

148
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 4: something really special, maybe with quarterbacks and the Rams were

149
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 4: going to be able to do something. But James Pierce,

150
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 4: the guy that they ended up getting using their second

151
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 4: first round pick on at ten and a half sacks

152
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 4: this year. So yeah, so so maybe there is something,

153
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 4: But that's the Atlanta job. The Raiders job is not

154
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 4: surprising with Pete Carroll gone, and you expect with the

155
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 4: number one overall pick that they're going to take a quarterback.

156
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 4: It's just a matter of which quarterback. Some people are

157
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: higher on that gig. How you look at the division,

158
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 4: Mike and have questions about it still on?

159
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 1: Maybe why?

160
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 4: And then you just have to look at the history

161
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 4: of the organization to wonder how appealing it is.

162
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the thing, right, you got a couple of

163
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 5: huge component parts because we saw bits and pieces of

164
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 5: genty to say, Okay, this guy could very well be

165
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 5: the guy, right because he was a good receiver out

166
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 5: of the backfield still finished, strong Bowers will be back healthy.

167
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 5: You need to retool the offensive. I mean, there's a

168
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 5: million things that go to it. And to your point,

169
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 5: in the larger structure, how much does that change with

170
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 5: spy Tech and Brady to the point that they're putting

171
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 5: out press releases saying they're in charge now, almost as

172
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 5: if to say Mark Davis going, hey, hey, I'm putting

173
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 5: this out so it's not on me and my bowl

174
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 5: cut this year. Okay, leave me alone, But yeah, how

175
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 5: appealing is it in that division, right. One of the

176
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 5: other potential dominoes to fall is like there's still speculation

177
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 5: that Andy Reid, after some content plation, steps away. But

178
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 5: either way, Patrick Mahomes will come back, and whoever takes over,

179
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 5: you still have a retooled Chiefs team to look at.

180
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 5: Chargers are built with Harbaugh to win for a while,

181
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 5: and Sean Payton's just getting started. Really it looks like

182
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 5: in Denver rights still some wrinkles in the bow Nicks,

183
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 5: you know, to smooth it out to a more efficient

184
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 5: offensive explosion. But they're still the number one seats. So

185
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, for all of their awarts, you're

186
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 5: still chasing. So if you want to go and look

187
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 5: around going all right, I want to win because you

188
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 5: don't get a lot of and brought this up and

189
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 5: forgive me if you've gone down this highway, Dan, But

190
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 5: you know the Mike Tomlin John Harbaugh thing that we've

191
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 5: talked about these last couple of weeks. In almost any

192
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 5: other organization, they would have been fired a long time ago,

193
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 5: right A, you won, that was cute. Now you're eight

194
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 5: and eight or just above five hundred a couple of

195
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 5: years agow, you're getting fired. You don't get longevity in

196
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 5: this league. So even if you're on a train, you're like,

197
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,319
Speaker 5: you don't get the build. I made fun of Lincoln

198
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 5: Riley repeatedly and talking about this stuff in that you

199
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 5: don't get three or four years to say here's the vision.

200
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 5: All right, we'll get this piece and the next year

201
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 5: we'll get no.

202
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 3: No, no.

203
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 5: You need to turn things around and at least show

204
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 5: progress right away, which is why Pete Carroll ends up

205
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 5: getting shown the door after showing his love for Gino

206
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 5: Smith and that high turnover rate. But yeah, of all

207
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 5: the jobs other than I get to wear the silver

208
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 5: and black and if I turn it around, I'm a

209
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 5: god Like that's the only thing that's appealing about it.

210
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 5: And I guess I get to say I work with

211
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 5: Tom Brady.

212
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: Which we get to do right now. I mean, how

213
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 3: about that, Hi Tom?

214
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 4: Technically yeah, yes, my teammate at Fox.

215
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: I just don't know what their identity is.

216
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: And I said this on Sunday to carry Rhodes on

217
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 4: our show on Fox Sports Radio, and we had Tom

218
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 4: Telesco on on Monday when I was filling in on

219
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 4: Fox the former Raiders GM for a year, and I

220
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 4: just kind of asked to said, what's what are the

221
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 4: challenges there? And he pointed to the health of their

222
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 4: offensive line, which wasn't there this year, that everybody was injured.

223
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 4: That happens in the NFL, like it does. And I

224
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 4: just felt like the Raiders problem, I told Carry, I said,

225
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 4: the problem is that Ashton Genty and Brock Bauers other

226
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,080
Speaker 4: best players because there's nothing there around them to support

227
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 4: them in their positions. Right, Like the offensive line is hurt,

228
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 4: Max Crosby can get after the quarterback, but there's no

229
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 4: one else on defense that does anything. So while like

230
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 4: drafting Brock Powers was the right pick, like he fell

231
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 4: to them and you get that generational talent, they just

232
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 4: haven't been able to fill it out long enough to

233
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 4: have a respectable team. And just very top heavy isn't

234
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,359
Speaker 4: the right word, because they're really really good players. Powers

235
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 4: a top player at his position you talked about gent

236
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 4: just kind of ascending. But now if you draft a quarterback,

237
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 4: so you have a quarterback or running back at a

238
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,719
Speaker 4: tight end, and again, you don't know if you have

239
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 4: people who can block for them, and you don't know

240
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 4: if you have people that can stop the other team

241
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: from doing anything. So that's just My problem was with

242
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 4: the Raiders entering twenty twenty six and how appealing it

243
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 4: is if you could be there for the long term,

244
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 4: maybe then you're you know, on the rise while everybody

245
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 4: else is, you know, on the fall down and Kansas

246
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 4: City is still trying to figure it out or whatever.

247
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's just to me, isn't the most appealing

248
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 4: gig that we've got out there.

249
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 5: I just got to convince them that at some point

250
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 5: you need a second year or a third year. Yeah,

251
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 5: I mean, since John Gruden was forced to walk away,

252
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 5: what do we have six coaches?

253
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 3: Right? I mean it's it's.

254
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 5: Not a job where you're even getting a long rope

255
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 5: to go and try to build anything. I mean, genty

256
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 5: was nearly fourteen hundred yards. As much as we talked

257
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 5: about him from a fantasy week to week perspective, he

258
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,880
Speaker 5: wasn't exciting the total numbers. All right, it looks okay,

259
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 5: you know, the offensive line horrible. Uh, you know, the

260
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 5: injuries set them back. But yeah, you got you got

261
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 5: three ideas play identifiable players, right. Max Crosby has that.

262
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 5: You know, we'll get to Cleveland in artists. But it's

263
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 5: like him and Miles Garrett.

264
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 3: That's great.

265
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 5: We got we got two guys. We got one guy

266
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 5: on each event, and I liked chquestioner. He didn't play

267
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 5: the final week. He'll win Defensive Rookie of the Year

268
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 5: and all. But like they're they're operating in a vacuum.

269
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 5: So whatever they do, like they can't cover up for

270
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 5: eleven guys, he can't clone them. So can you outscore teams?

271
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: The answer is no, Yeah, you're right about that.

272
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 4: Not too far away from Vegas, the Cardinals made a

273
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 4: change with Jonathan Gannon.

274
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: I didn't think that was surprising at all.

275
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 4: I think there's obviously going to be some sweeping changes,

276
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 4: but Manti acid for it.

277
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: The GM ends up staying.

278
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 4: The Cardinals, to me, were always the try hard, max

279
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 4: out as much as you could get nice and when

280
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 4: you only end up winning what three games this past year,

281
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 4: there's only that's that's run its course, you know, there's

282
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 4: only so much that Jonathan Gannon max out.

283
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: I was surprised. I think I saw his overall record

284
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 1: was like fifteen wins. My gosh.

285
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 4: I felt like, for some reason, I felt that they

286
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 4: were just a little bit better than that, but they weren't,

287
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 4: And so not necessarily a surprise that he's out, as

288
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 4: we expect to see sweeping changes in Arizona.

289
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think your try harder mantra there is probably

290
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 5: the way to say it, because they fought in all games,

291
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 5: even Week eighteen. They fought the Rams well before ultimately

292
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 5: getting blown out.

293
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 3: But it's the kind of thing.

294
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 5: Jacoby Brissett on his seventh team three touchdowns per pick.

295
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 5: Trey McBride takes another step forward. Harrison couldn't stay on

296
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 5: the field, but Michael Wilson steps up to become a

297
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 5: guide to them, someone we've talked about a lot in

298
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 5: the Fantasy podcast, you know, rising up before Harrison showed up.

299
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 5: I mean going back to last year and finally week

300
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 5: to week you saw that running back. It became a

301
00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 5: committee situation once Connor and Benson were both done and

302
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 5: the offense was interesting. The problem was Ganna was a

303
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 5: defensive guy. Yeah, and had no teeth, even though they

304
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 5: drafted all defenders this year, like they couldn't stop you

305
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 5: me Ian and eight of our closest friends.

306
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 4: No young, Yeah, a lot of pieces. Walter Nolan was drafted,

307
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 4: Will Johnson, the corner from Michigan. All draft picks but

308
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 4: you're right, can't stop anyone. I am curious to see

309
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 4: because there isn't a ton of great offensive candidates out

310
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 4: there coordinators to.

311
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 1: Take that job.

312
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 4: But if you've got the pieces right, I mean, I

313
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 4: don't know if Marvin Harrison Junior is expendable. We know

314
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 4: Kyler Murray likely is, you know, so there's going to

315
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 4: be moves, but I'm curious to see what they do

316
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 4: with their head coach, and that head coach hiring could

317
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 4: say a lot about the personnel. And then the final one,

318
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 4: I guess maybe the big one shocking to some not

319
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 4: shocking to others, but that the Browns finally pulled the

320
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 4: plug in Kevin Stefanski, that one.

321
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 5: I kept waiting for the meme to be aied where

322
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 5: he's doing the giant heel click as he goes to

323
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 5: his car dancing and just mad, good, congratulations, I'm done

324
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 5: kind of thing because again, like a joke, but I imagine

325
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 5: he can go wherever he wants. Jackson Dart was already campaigning,

326
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 5: go yeah, I like him, good coach, you know that

327
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 5: kind of thing. So for Stefanski it becomes the Jimmy Haslam,

328
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 5: and I don't know how much you heard the quotes

329
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 5: guys ear on Monday after the firing, like the more

330
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 5: Haslam talk. You're just like, really, you these words are

331
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 5: being processed in your brain unless they're being fed to

332
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 5: you through some supercomputer. And you're not paying attention because

333
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 5: you're talking about all the personnel issues you have and

334
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 5: everything else. Yet you keep Andrew Berry and then you

335
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 5: try to enumerate all the things he did. Right, Look,

336
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 5: they had a couple of draft picks.

337
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 3: Hit.

338
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna you know, deny that. But you also

339
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 5: took two quarterbacks, and what do we need in this league?

340
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 5: We need a quarterback, a guy to go to. And

341
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 5: you have the the other thing that's still swirling out

342
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 5: there of what what's the future? You still have Deshaun Watson.

343
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 5: You got to figure out for twenty six. So I

344
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 5: mean you want to talk about appealing jobs. No, thanks,

345
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 5: Miles Garrett. Congratulations on the sack record. It would be

346
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 5: better if you actually had a win to go with

347
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 5: it every now and again.

348
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, we have why from the Bengals.

349
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 4: You know there wasn't there was a lot of wins

350
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 4: for the bat got the whining from Cincinnati.

351
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, you at least won that war right where everybody

352
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 5: started complaining about it's like you're it's the battle for Ohio.

353
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 5: I don't think anybody's getting anything out of this game,

354
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 5: So enjoy the five minute break, Go call the perfect

355
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 5: play and get after it.

356
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 6: And not to put you guys on the spot here,

357
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 6: but out of those head coach openings, which do you

358
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 6: think is the most attractive if you were a candidate.

359
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,880
Speaker 5: Well, if you take give me all six, it's it's

360
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 5: the Giants, I would say, so unless I mean, and

361
00:17:55,320 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 5: that's the question of GM and ownership, how much you

362
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 5: love or not like because depending on whose ear you

363
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 5: you you got or what you hear in the grapevine,

364
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 5: how much that may not be an ideal working situation

365
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 5: let alone. Uh nevertheless, never mind the talent that you

366
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 5: might be able to coach yet, right, so that that

367
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 5: kind of bridge there.

368
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 4: Would I will have just to be different because you know,

369
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 4: I've other people have said similar things with the Giants

370
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 4: talent on defense, neighbors, scataboo, all those guys coming af

371
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 4: from injury. I'll just say Atlanta, the division is gettable.

372
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 4: You have Bijon. Sure there are decisions, but I'll say Atlanta.

373
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 4: But yeah, You're probably right with the Giants.

374
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 5: But I look at like Tennessee if if you can

375
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 5: get them to get out of their own way, And

376
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 5: that's the problem with all of these teams, right is

377
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 5: historically you've got ownership that won't get out of their

378
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 5: own way. Right in Tennessee is probably the best because

379
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 5: if I were an offensive guy, I think I saw

380
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,439
Speaker 5: enough from cam Ward that I'd love.

381
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 3: To go work with cam Ward. Yeah, but I still

382
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 3: got to I got a bet, but I got a

383
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: manage jump. Yeah. And I might have my locker room,

384
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 3: but I got a manage jump.

385
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 6: Amy Adams Strunk has been actually awful, Like she's she's

386
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 6: comparable with Whatdy Johnson when it comes to the worst owners,

387
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 6: like not only in football but in sports.

388
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, we talked about the Raiders and the change

389
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 4: that they have had on off you know, moving guys

390
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 4: in and out. It's been the same thing with head

391
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 4: coaches and gms and in Nashville for a while.

392
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: And the people are still saying we never should have

393
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: let go of Rabel. No, that's right, you know, like you.

394
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 4: Know, and I think, yeah, like when you know, when

395
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 4: you look at it now, like maybe everybody needs a

396
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 4: fresh start at some point, you know, so maybe ultimately

397
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 4: it was it was the right move, but they haven't

398
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 4: made any right move since he's left, and in the

399
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 4: training of A. J. Brown, was the move that he

400
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 4: didn't want to make right in Nashville. As much as

401
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 4: I'm anti A J. Brown a lot on this podcast,

402
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 4: uh didn't seem like the Titans benefited for his absence.

403
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 6: I bet AJ Brown's a patriot this offseason.

404
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: Ooh, interesting like that.

405
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 5: But yeah, it's just one of those you're looking around

406
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 5: at all of these jobs. I mean, the Bidwells don't

407
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,199
Speaker 5: want to spend money, right and everything You've had go

408
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 5: on in Arizona all the time.

409
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 3: And change. You got to figure out what you're doing

410
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 3: with Kyler Murray.

411
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 5: New York ownership Tennessee definitely, ownership has limited. Like just

412
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 5: go on down the line and Arthur Blank's gonna hug

413
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 5: you and then fire you minutes later. So you got

414
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 5: all of that going on, and he'll be on the sideline, Scott,

415
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 5: you know, giving you the skull if he doesn't like

416
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 5: your Blake call.

417
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 4: Let's take a time out here and I want your flex.

418
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 4: We got some playoff games to look at. A wild

419
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 4: wild Card weekend, both in the AFC and NFC. That's

420
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 4: Mike Carmer. That's he and Roddy. I'm Dan Byer. It's

421
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 4: all next here and I want your flex. It is

422
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 4: playoff time. He's Mike Carmon, that's Ian Roddy. I'm Dan Byer.

423
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 4: Let's look at this AFC wild guard picture. I always

424
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 4: start with the AFC. I don't know if it's because

425
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 4: it always becomes first in our standings, you know, when

426
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 4: we're looking at it. But let's just start with the

427
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 4: with the AFC. Some interesting matchups. I'm gonna say this.

428
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 4: The first thing that surprised me that Chargers and Patriots

429
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 4: got the Sunday night football game.

430
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: Like I didn't.

431
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 4: I thought, Mike, I thought it was maybe gonna be

432
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 4: Packers Bears. I thought that would have been a great matchup.

433
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,919
Speaker 4: Granted we've seen it nineteen times in the past four weeks,

434
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 4: but I thought that could be a possibility. But Chargers

435
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 4: Patriots very intriguing and intriguing enough to put on Sunday Night.

436
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 5: Football, trying to sell the new new blood, you know,

437
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 5: because you've got the MVP candidacy of Drake May, you've

438
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,119
Speaker 5: got the love of Mike Vrabel. Even the casuals know

439
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 5: who he is as a player and certainly as a coach,

440
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 5: as we talked about in the prior segment about his

441
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 5: time in Tennessee and the Chargers. I mean, Jim Harbaugh

442
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 5: is good for entertainment.

443
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: Uh.

444
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 3: And it's one of those the mean movie, Mean girls.

445
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 5: There's the line of hey, stop trying to make fetch happen.

446
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,200
Speaker 5: I think there still is this want to for Justin

447
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 5: Herbert to take that next step forward as one of

448
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 5: those faces of the league. And it's Los Angeles, sure,

449
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 5: and maybe Prime really stomped up and down say we

450
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 5: want the Bears game.

451
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, there's you know, there was something in the

452
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 4: Sun Times too about about that matchup as well, where

453
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 4: all the networks were fighting over Packers Bears and Eagles

454
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 4: Niners and Eagles Niners ends up on Fox and that

455
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 4: that primetime Sunday window. But when you look at the

456
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 4: and the Bears Packers game is on Prime, which is

457
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 4: a whole other part of the equation. But when you

458
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 4: look at the three AFC matchups, you say, Bill's Jaguars.

459
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,120
Speaker 4: For as fun as that game could be, it's still

460
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 4: the Jaguars. Like for some reason, the NFL like cannot

461
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 4: get away from that, and they may they honestly may

462
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 4: need to just be the London Jaguars and continue to

463
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 4: play in Jacksonville, like to make like this for some reason,

464
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 4: like this is an awesome game and it's going to

465
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 4: be put in the early window on Sunday morning, the

466
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 4: first game of the tripleheader. I think it's going to

467
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 4: be the maybe the best of the three AFC contests.

468
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 4: And honestly, I don't need to see the Steelers again,

469
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 4: but we're going to and we're going to see him

470
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 4: in a likely I would think bit of a bit

471
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 4: of a rock fight with the Texans with that defense

472
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 4: coming to Pittsburgh. So I guess ultimately they didn't like

473
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 4: the appeal of Jacksonville and Texan Steelers is kind of

474
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 4: home hum.

475
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: So Chargers Patriots for the points.

476
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 4: That you make of the young teams, the up and comers,

477
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 4: the new blood ends up fitting the bill.

478
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, if you're the Houston Texas, you're excited not to

479
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 5: be the Saturday early game.

480
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: Yes, what was it?

481
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 3: Eight for eight?

482
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 5: It was crazy, like just historically every time, Hey, they're

483
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 5: in the playoffs, Because I actually joked, is that why

484
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 5: they sat.

485
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 3: In Nico Collins last minute.

486
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 5: It was they were going to lose those days, so

487
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 5: it's like all right, and instead they get the Monday

488
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 5: and I hate Nico.

489
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 3: You got two extra days off, buddy.

490
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 4: I mean there were there. I felt like there were

491
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 4: like two Bengals games. We know, the Raiders game when

492
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 4: they didn't have a quarterback, the early I'm talking about

493
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 4: the first Saturday Texans games. We've had a Bills game,

494
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 4: we had the Chargers game last year, like all of

495
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 4: those we can remember. We had the Browns game a

496
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 4: couple of years ago, and Flaccos had like two pick sixes.

497
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 4: Those were all that one thirty you know, local time

498
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 4: for US, four thirty Eastern time kicks in Houston on Saturday.

499
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: You're so right.

500
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 4: It's it reminds me of how we look at the

501
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 4: NBA Playoffs on what games are on NBA TV. Sure,

502
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 4: right when you get into the midweek stuff and it's

503
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 4: like I knew it, Like I know the Bucks and

504
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 4: Pacers are going to be on NBA TV, right, you know, yes, absolutely.

505
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 5: But here's the thing. Right now, we look at that

506
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 5: matchup and now that it's on Monday night. But Mike

507
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 5: Tom want doesn't lose on Monday Night football. Yeah right,

508
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 5: So all of a sudden, that game's so much different.

509
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 5: It's like Saturday. I don't know, it's like Monday night.

510
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 5: I'll e don't lose, Like something's gotta give.

511
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 4: This is it's it's gonna be a fun weekend. And

512
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 4: even though you know, looking back on last year's in

513
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 4: the TV schedule, they put Bucks and Commanders on that

514
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 4: Sunday night game and that's where jayde and Daniels and

515
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 4: the Commanders went in and pulled off that upset and

516
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 4: then it went into Detroit the next week.

517
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: But that was the Sunday Night or.

518
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 4: That was kind of caught everybody by surprise last year.

519
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 4: And so maybe that Chargers Patriots game does fit. What

520
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 4: about Bills Jaguars when you look at that matchup, I mean,

521
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 4: is it just betting on Josh Allen to do his thing?

522
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 4: That Jacksonville was a nice story all year, but now

523
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 4: like the real playoffs come about, or how do you

524
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 4: view that game in South Florida, excuse me, in North Florida.

525
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 5: I just wonder if when you get down to it,

526
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 5: that the Jaguars secondary, even though the Bills don't have

527
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 5: a number one guy that they're Look, they're not bad,

528
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 5: but they're not a strong point of this team, so

529
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 5: where you might be compromised in later rounds or against

530
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 5: other opponents Buffalo and not having that number one, you know,

531
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 5: looking at Shakir who's a nice possession guy, but not

532
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 5: necessarily the explosive Keon Coleman is your next leading receiver

533
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 5: or did he have thirty six catches or something like

534
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 5: that on the year and got suspended multiple times? Right,

535
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 5: and then you look at your two tight ends who

536
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 5: are in and out of the lineup.

537
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 3: Right.

538
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 5: As much as we love the physicality of what Kincaid brings,

539
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 5: you know, it's sporadic. But with Josh Allen and James

540
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,640
Speaker 5: Cook and even Ray Davis a little bit, I think

541
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 5: you got enough there for the Bills. Can you contain

542
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 5: the run game?

543
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: Right?

544
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 5: Trevor lawre has been fantastic, but it's all gone through

545
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 5: Trevor Etn. Travis Etn. Sorry, I just was sorting cards

546
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,880
Speaker 5: and I had his brother, Travis Etn and yeah, see

547
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 5: there you go. But as a runner and receiver or

548
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 5: how explosive he's been, because what's amazing about this? Right?

549
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 5: And we talked about it a bit on the podcast earlier,

550
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 5: as we did the fantasy stuff. Is like Trevor Lawrence

551
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 5: did all this without Brian Thomas most of the way,

552
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 5: without Travis Hunter virtually the whole way. Jacoby Myers came

553
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 5: over after wearing a trade Me sign in Las Vegas

554
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 5: for two months, and he's been as good a blocker

555
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 5: to help that run game as he has been a

556
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 5: component of the receiving corps. So yeah, something's got to give.

557
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 5: I'll put the cape on Josh Allen that that foot's

558
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 5: just enough for he and Cook to get you over.

559
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 4: I'm going to throw this out there. We talked about

560
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 4: it on a Monday, the great scene at Heimark Stadium

561
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 4: with Buffalo closing down their stadium against the Jets. We think,

562
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 4: and the only reason I say we think is when

563
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 4: you end up looking at the bracket in the way

564
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 4: that the bracket is the Bills being able to get

565
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 4: that six seed because the char didn't play anybody on

566
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 4: Sunday against Denver, so it allows the Bills to at

567
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 4: least move up a spot. The only way they'd be

568
00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 4: able to host the AFC Championship Game would be if

569
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 4: they were to play the Chargers. But let's just say

570
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 4: the Chargers do upset the Patriots coming in on Sunday night,

571
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,360
Speaker 4: New England's only a three and a half point favorite.

572
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 4: I don't think it would shock us that the Bills

573
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 4: would go to Jacksonville and win their point and a

574
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 4: half favorite. So now you have a matchup where Buffalo

575
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,359
Speaker 4: would play the winner of Pittsburgh in Houston on the

576
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 4: road at one of those sites. Now, the Bills did

577
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,479
Speaker 4: lose in Houston earlier on the season, revenge factor, they

578
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 4: won in Pittsburgh earlier on the season. And then you

579
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 4: have the Chargers and Broncos playing, and the Chargers, when

580
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,479
Speaker 4: the teams were full strength, did beat Denver earlier this season.

581
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's.

582
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 4: Going to happen, but we thought we said goodbye to

583
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 4: high Mark Stadium and it all kind of I think

584
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 4: if the Chargers win on that Sunday night against New England,

585
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 4: it could open up a whole bunch of possibilities for

586
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 4: some crazy stuff within the bracket, because I don't think

587
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,360
Speaker 4: any of us would be shocked if the Chargers went

588
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 4: to Denver and won, because Denver just hasn't looked like

589
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 4: a great team the second half of the season and

590
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 4: if the Bills can get by Jacksonville. Jacksonville went to

591
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 4: Denver a couple of weeks ago, and one I'll win

592
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 4: against the Texans or Steelers. Wouldn't surprise anybody. Just throwing

593
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 4: it out there just so I can have it on

594
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 4: record somewhere.

595
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 5: No, it's a fun chess match to go through, right

596
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 5: because if coming out of this weekend it was I

597
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 5: mean pick it either way, the Bills or Jaguars. But

598
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 5: for the purposes of this, I still want to a

599
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 5: pair of those gloves they gave away. I've not found

600
00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 5: any on eBay yet for the five hundred shovelers they

601
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 5: gave them those commemorative gloves. I'd seen one bear and

602
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 5: a guy was asking like five thousand dollars to so yeah,

603
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 5: and then those disappeared. I think they just said, you're

604
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 5: a joke, get out of here. But all right, So

605
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 5: the Bills win Steelers and Aaron Rod look he made

606
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 5: it the old Toby Keith. I might not be as

607
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 5: good as I once was, but there were at least

608
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,360
Speaker 5: four throws that I remember on Sunday night against the

609
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 5: Ravens going, man, those are those are some big boy throws,

610
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 5: he could still get it, you know, into the tight

611
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 5: windows and over the top. Now he had a couple

612
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 5: of broken coverages that help augment those stats. But if

613
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:23,719
Speaker 5: we get Bills, Steelers and Chargers rolling out it, Chargers

614
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 5: at the run, game gets gone because if they get

615
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 5: on top, I think the Patriots in trouble. Yeah, you know, right,

616
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 5: like Henderson big plays Stevenson. But like the passing game,

617
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 5: I don't trust the passing game.

618
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: At all.

619
00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 5: Right for New England, when we look at going down

620
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 5: the depth chart, like there's there's a lot of issues

621
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 5: in Jesse Minter, Like he's a guy looking for a

622
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 5: head coaching job. He's gonna throw the kitchen sink at

623
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 5: these guys.

624
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, there's I mean, there's there's a bunch of options.

625
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,800
Speaker 4: But let's be real, like the last couple of weeks

626
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 4: have them well in the last week or two for

627
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 4: New England, off field not the greatest, no, you know,

628
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 4: so you never know if those things can end up

629
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 4: being distractions when they happened in the playoffs, I have

630
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 4: one percent think they are. I'll never pick a team

631
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 4: to win a game if there is a distraction that

632
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 4: happens in the playoffs, so it could be there, you know,

633
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 4: for them Chargers didn't look great against the Texans, but

634
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 4: that may have been a Texan sort of deal, but

635
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 4: should be an interesting AFC playoff picture.

636
00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: What is your favorite game of the three in the AFC?

637
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 5: I like the Monday Night just because coming off of

638
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 5: the the even though I just bought a new Duvall shirt.

639
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 5: When I was on my trip down to Florida for

640
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 5: the holidays to visit my folks, I went to a

641
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 5: thrift store dan Ian I found this great Douvall. It

642
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 5: was either a giveaway or something they made people at

643
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 5: one of the grocery stores where so it's really cool

644
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 5: and it's form fitting and it makes me look tough.

645
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 5: But all that said, like Pittsburgh, how many times were

646
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 5: they written off? How many times were they done? And

647
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 5: then we get Mike Tomblin preening for the camera and

648
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 5: doing the King Kong Ain't got blank on me kind

649
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 5: of thing. And Aaron Rod, like I said, I don't know,

650
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 5: people love hate him and certainly he's the act has

651
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 5: been tired at times, but his little postgame thing like

652
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 5: easier to become a really good actor or like legitimately

653
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 5: the emotions of everything and actually being a winner again

654
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 5: really hit him right, being in that organization, being able

655
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 5: to laugh at the Jets are because even Breese Hall

656
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 5: did it. Hey, look that guy can still throw the

657
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 5: ball on Twitter as he did. But and then Houston

658
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 5: with CJ. Stroud and the offense, the highly heralded defense

659
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 5: that you on paper you would say they run through

660
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 5: and Pittsburgh can't do anything. But this is where two

661
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 5: defenses collide and you know what's the one play that

662
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 5: gets made from the offense to make this happen.

663
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

664
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll see if Stroud can hit some of those

665
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 4: younger targets outside of Nico Collins, the Jayden Higgins, Hutchinson.

666
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 3: All those Iowa state guys.

667
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and everybody else is in Happy Valley with Matt

668
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 4: Campbell though. So uh, that's a look at our AFC

669
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 4: playoff picture. Ian, what game do you like best out

670
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 4: of the three?

671
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:11,120
Speaker 3: Yeah?

672
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 6: To me, it's the Bills Jaguars, just because I just

673
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 6: want to see how far the Bills can make it, Like,

674
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 6: is it now their year now that the Chiefs are out?

675
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 6: Because that was their everest? So is it is the

676
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 6: path clear? Now? Can Josh Allen finally get his Super

677
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 6: Bowl because you know, yeah, hall of Fame talent, we

678
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 6: know that it's just a matter of actually getting the

679
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 6: hardware for him.

680
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 4: Now, yeah, yeah, that's it's going to be a fun

681
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 4: Sunday for sure. That's there's there's no doubt. Yeah it is,

682
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 4: because I just think that the Bills are always the story,

683
00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 4: you know, like I just of them trying to break through.

684
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 4: Just think if the Browns were to make the playoffs.

685
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 4: I feel that it is and I do think that

686
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 4: there's a path for Buffalo. I don't think it's their

687
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 4: greatest team, but at some point you're wondering, is it

688
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 4: going to cash cash in? And now you know the

689
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 4: Chiefs Surravens in this bracket, right, especially the chief in

690
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 4: this bracket, So that opens up things. So I like

691
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 4: Bill's Jaguars, and I think it also like if Jacksonville

692
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 4: wins this, it propels them to the to the point

693
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 4: of yeah, we're here, like like we could make it

694
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 4: to Santa Clara.

695
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 1: And I don't know how many people even believe that

696
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: right now.

697
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 4: Sure, entering the wild card weekend, but you win that game,

698
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 4: you're the three seed. Depending on how it goes out

699
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 4: they could go to New England and win. They've gone

700
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 4: to Denver and as we mentioned one a few weeks ago,

701
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,360
Speaker 4: so that would be the arrival. So whatever outcome it is,

702
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 4: I think it's it's a shot to the rest of

703
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 4: the AFS.

704
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 5: All right, let me ask two questions coming off that

705
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 5: then Number one, will you then bet? Actually three, will

706
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,439
Speaker 5: you then bet on any coach who has a really

707
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 5: bad introductory press conference going forward?

708
00:34:56,440 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 4: The transformation from duval to black aviator glasses and black

709
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:05,240
Speaker 4: vest and Johnny Cash and the man in black Liam Cohen?

710
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 4: Maybe so, but the Jonathan Gannon theory kind of throws

711
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 4: that out.

712
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, so many examples of it not working out, all right?

713
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, well it's jets so true.

714
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 3: Uh. Second, does McDermott get fired if they lose? Uh?

715
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: I I think that that could be a possibility.

716
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 6: Yes, I just don't see it happening because like it's

717
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 6: such an unpressed like they have we ever seen a

718
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 6: situation that good, like that would instantly become the best

719
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 6: situation for a head coach candidate that maybe we've seen.

720
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 4: Honestly, if you're Kevin Stefanski and you went to Buffalo

721
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 4: to work with you know, like to work with Josh Allen.

722
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 6: Would you would you rather have Stefanski or McDermott. That's

723
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 6: a question right there.

724
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I.

725
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 3: Think I want the offensive guy at this point. Yeah,

726
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 3: it's not crazy take. Yeah.

727
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 5: And then third, let's just spin it back to Sunday

728
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 5: Night Football for a second week eighteen where you shocked

729
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 5: that they did a kneel down before the field goal

730
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,000
Speaker 5: attempt instead of either giving the ball a to Derrick

731
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 5: Henry or doing some modified tush push with Lamar Jackson.

732
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, so they because they had their one more time out.

733
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:30,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I wasn't shocked by it. You know, it's makeable,

734
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 4: especially with the field goals that we have nowadays. Honestly,

735
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 4: you know what I was shocked about that they went

736
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 4: middle of the field.

737
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

738
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 4: I don't know why, but like, like I now like

739
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 4: I have more confidence when a guy lines up on

740
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 4: a hash because they're like, Okay, he's gonna work it in.

741
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 4: But so when they went middle of the field, I

742
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 4: was like, oh, interesting.

743
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 6: Okay, cash almost feels like the guy personally has a

744
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 6: preference in there, come out and like he's going to

745
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 6: be better from that side, whereas middle it's just give

746
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 6: them the most generic good.

747
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, yeah, and that was a slice into

748
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 4: the woods, like that thing just moved, and I mean

749
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 4: Boswell's kick was, you know, very similar, but it was.

750
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was so.

751
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,839
Speaker 4: I wasn't surprised that they didn't that they didn't hand

752
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 4: it off to Derrick Henry. I was surprised that they

753
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,720
Speaker 4: just did the let's line it up in the middle

754
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,439
Speaker 4: for a I give it for like a twenty seven

755
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:25,240
Speaker 4: yard er, right, just boom right there. Jason Myers missed

756
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:28,000
Speaker 4: one from uh. I think he was on the right

757
00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 4: hash in the game against the Niners on Saturday night.

758
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 4: But yeah, forty four yards out.

759
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: That was. That was a little surprising to me. What

760
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: do you think they should have gave it to Henry

761
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: for carry?

762
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 3: Yeah?

763
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 5: I just think you got you still have your time

764
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 5: out in your pocket. Why not add a couple of yards, like,

765
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 5: even if it's neg, even if it's two yards positive

766
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 5: instead of taking a knee for a minus two?

767
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, right again, young kicker.

768
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh notorious for being a tough place to kick field goals,

769
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 5: Like as good as Boswell's been, right, he knows the elements.

770
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 3: He's kicked in every condition.

771
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 5: This guy has not, so putting it on the young

772
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 5: guy's foot in that situation just seemed silly, although Mike

773
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 5: Tomalin got off the hook for his early decision in

774
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 5: the first half. So I guess it's all kind of chaos.

775
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:22,400
Speaker 5: But well, we'll see how that all transpires into the offseason.

776
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 5: But you know, the wishing and hoping, particularly with Derrick

777
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,240
Speaker 5: Henry having not seen the ball for the twelve fifty

778
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:31,760
Speaker 5: three a couple of weeks ago, that it just stood

779
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 5: out and I had someone write me saying, well, you know,

780
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:38,360
Speaker 5: you gotta worry that he's gonna fumble, like really, okay,

781
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 5: then get the handoff to Lamar.

782
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 3: And do something.

783
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 5: But still just I don't know, try to put him

784
00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 5: in the best place. To your point, the field position

785
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 5: itself was as important as anything as that thing just sailed. Yeah,

786
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 5: they called out Kundiff's name, he started trending.

787
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 4: Well, I just went back and looked at Jason Myers

788
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 4: missed the other night. It's from twenty six yards and

789
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 4: it was a hash. He tried to like fade it

790
00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 4: in there and bowing from just from twenty six yards out.

791
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 1: So nothing is a guarantee.

792
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 3: Oh sure.

793
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 4: The only guarantee is we're going to be back talking

794
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 4: about the NFC playoff picture. Can Mike's Bears do it

795
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 4: again against the Green Bay Packers. We'll talk about it

796
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 4: next year, and I want your flex NFC Playoff picture time.

797
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 4: We start with the Rams and Panthers. That is Game

798
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 4: one in Carolina. I don't know if anybody who would

799
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 4: think that the Panthers can win this game. However, we

800
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 4: can look to the regular season and see the Carolina

801
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 4: did beat the Rams. Rams got off to a slow

802
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 4: start against the Cardinals in Week eighteen before turning it on.

803
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:47,280
Speaker 4: Are you buying that there's something wrong with the Rams

804
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 4: right now? The you know, the loss in Atlanta that

805
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 4: they had in Week seventeen, took a while to get

806
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 4: going against Arizona in Week eighteen. Any concern on the

807
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 4: side of the Rams with you, Mike Harmon.

808
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 5: We've seen the defense be a little bit more susceptible

809
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 5: to big plays, so that's a little concerning. Offensively, you'll

810
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 5: get DeVante Adams back, so your red zone and some

811
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:14,759
Speaker 5: of your your down distance kind of decisions get a

812
00:40:14,760 --> 00:40:17,319
Speaker 5: bit easier. You know, as much as as much as

813
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 5: you love the next man up mentality, I mean that

814
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 5: guy was money all year long, so suddenly to not

815
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 5: have him down the stretch as an extra safety valve

816
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 5: and Pooka getting the extra coverage that he did certainly

817
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 5: changes the complexion there. So not terribly concerned. This is

818
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 5: one that really for Carolina, the only hope is that

819
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:44,759
Speaker 5: somehow you're you're able to run the ball and just

820
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 5: keep the Rams offense off.

821
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 3: The field, right that that's it.

822
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 5: But time and again they had to rely on Bryce

823
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 5: Young's arm to get them out of trouble. But I

824
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 5: think in this case, you're not winning a shootout with

825
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 5: the Ram.

826
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:05,799
Speaker 4: No and the Cuba Hubbard Rico dowdele backfield. That maybe

827
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:08,440
Speaker 4: should have said it in reverse order. They kind of

828
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 4: needed that against La the first time around. But you

829
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 4: have to think that the Rams aren't going to turn

830
00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 4: it over three times, right, you know in that contest,

831
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 4: and that's why they're a ten point favorite Carolina. I

832
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 4: don't even know if it's a nice story. I'm not

833
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 4: even sure if it's considering the way they got in.

834
00:41:25,560 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 4: You know, they have a win and get in game

835
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 4: and they'd lose it and then they just need Atlanta

836
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 4: to force the three way ties. So there's not even

837
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 4: like a neat story with them coming in, except that

838
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 4: they've sucked a lot and now they're in the playoffs.

839
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,880
Speaker 4: Like that's basically the story with Carolina. So I'm surprised

840
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:42,760
Speaker 4: they didn't put that at six am on Saturday.

841
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 5: For us, We're gonna play it like it's a London game.

842
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:50,120
Speaker 5: Let's go right here, we are live from Germany. That's

843
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 5: your pregame show. Is the game actually Germany? No, we

844
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,640
Speaker 5: just thought we'd show you some German highlights. I think

845
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 5: for the season as a whole. Right, we talk about

846
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:02,239
Speaker 5: ten millan, we talk about the run game, and we

847
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 5: certainly did it from the fantasy standpoint a bunch. But

848
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 5: Bryce Young took some huge steps forward with you know,

849
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 5: year two because he was getting written off by a

850
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 5: lot of folks after his rookie seasons, so excited to

851
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,080
Speaker 5: see what might become there. Twenty three and eleven touchdown

852
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 5: to interception ratio just over three thousand yards, can make

853
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,799
Speaker 5: some plays with his legs. Yeah, they needed a lot

854
00:42:24,840 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 5: of help to get to this point, and the fact

855
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 5: that they'd become the tallest of a very difficult you

856
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 5: know division overall and stumbling and bumbling to the finish line,

857
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 5: so try to take some positives, but they would look

858
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 5: to be a training sparring partner for the rest of

859
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 5: the NFC for these Rams if they come to play

860
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,280
Speaker 5: as they had for much of the season.

861
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was looking at the when the Seahawks were

862
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 4: playing the Niners, and the Seahawks lost, they would be

863
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,879
Speaker 4: the five seed, and I was kind of looking at

864
00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 4: that path and I said, you know, it's not as

865
00:42:59,800 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 4: bad is maybe you would think. I know, you want

866
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 4: to buy and you want the home field advantage. Don't

867
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 4: get me wrong, I'm not trying to say that that

868
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 4: wasn't the value.

869
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 1: But like for.

870
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:12,919
Speaker 4: You know, any of those three teams in the NFC West,

871
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 4: because I'm using the Seahawks for an example of you

872
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,880
Speaker 4: have no idea what's going to happen when you play

873
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 4: one of those teams, and you could have had a

874
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,800
Speaker 4: situation where, you know, Seattle could have a situation where

875
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 4: they could face the Rams in the divisional playoff, which

876
00:43:25,400 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 4: I think would be a nightmare, and they could face

877
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 4: San Francisco if they end up pulling the you know,

878
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 4: the upset against the Eagles and all those rematches are difficult.

879
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 4: If if you could just get different opponents sometimes I

880
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 4: think it's a little bit better for you in the postseason. Again,

881
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:44,239
Speaker 4: I'm not advocating that the Seahawks should have lost, or

882
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 4: that the forty nine ers are now at this great

883
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 4: advantage because they are on the road and playing the

884
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 4: Eagles in the first week. But you look at the

885
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 4: Rams and their opportunity here to get a win under

886
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 4: their belt. Hopefully they can stay healthy, and maybe you

887
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 4: gain momentum from playing in that wild card game against

888
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:00,760
Speaker 4: the Panthers.

889
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

890
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 5: I think that's the biggest thing, right, You get get

891
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 5: the job done, and in theory, you get out unscathed

892
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 5: and walk away. I mean this spread, I saw it

893
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 5: at ten and a half, started to push towards eleven

894
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 5: before getting a little bit of pushback to where it's

895
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 5: sitting at ten as we record. But all signs point

896
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:24,280
Speaker 5: to the Rams, you know, avenging that earlier loss, cleaning

897
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 5: up the mess, and taking care of business.

898
00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 4: So what about your bears against those Green Bay Packers

899
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 4: on Saturday night on Prime Video?

900
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? How healthy are the Packers?

901
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:36,919
Speaker 5: I guess this is the main question to it, all right,

902
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 5: And Jordan Love was the backup for Week eighteen. Clayton

903
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 5: tune everybody, how about that he was QB sixty two

904
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 5: on the year. Mitchell Trubisky didn't count because he technically

905
00:44:49,840 --> 00:44:54,080
Speaker 5: was in relief of the.

906
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 3: Short experience of Josh Allen.

907
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 1: But didn't start. Yeah, Alan starting streak, yep, and.

908
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 5: The Jets interception less streak. One of the great graphics

909
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 5: of the season was the end of the NBC telecast

910
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 5: when they said guess these guess these marks, and it

911
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 5: was a you know, a silhouette and it had these

912
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 5: stats of the accumulated quarterbacks against the Jets, the thirty

913
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 5: six touchdowns against zero picks. Just I don't know to

914
00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 5: add insult to injury to all all that they did.

915
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 5: And I'm filibustering because you know, the heart is always

916
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 5: the Bears. But I've also been a pragmatist over the

917
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 5: course of the year of this team had a lot

918
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 5: of narrow escapes, a lot like Washington did a year ago.

919
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 5: You had a lot of things that broke right, but

920
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 5: you have some fundamentals in place to where you can

921
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 5: go and get another win. I love the confidence. Ben

922
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 5: Johnson would spoke to after the loss, and he was pissed, right,

923
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 5: he and I and Caleb Williams were absolutely incensed at

924
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 5: the effort and the results against the Lions, because that

925
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 5: was a prime had won right when we talked about

926
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 5: it for fantasy purposes or whatever, it's they all right,

927
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 5: they wanted revenge for that nonsense that went on back

928
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 5: in week two. Hell yeah, I remember people in Chicago

929
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 5: calling for him to be fired. It's like, this is

930
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:14,239
Speaker 5: not the guy now. I can also tell you after

931
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 5: that Lions game, I love comedies, I love Ron cons.

932
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 5: The Bears postgame show on WGN Radio was the funniest

933
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 5: damn thing I've heard. Like you would have thought they

934
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 5: won two games like on the year, like two games

935
00:46:28,719 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 5: in they wanted to have gone this guy, what is

936
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 5: this He's a genius whatever, and then they're the number

937
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 5: two seed, and you would have thought they won two

938
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,600
Speaker 5: games on the year the way they were going at

939
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 5: Ben Johnson the offense, like in everybody, they left no

940
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 5: stone unturned DJ Moore and that interception and effort.

941
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 3: Or lack thereof on that, you name it. They went

942
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 3: at it.

943
00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 5: But I think we're looking at a point where post

944
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 5: Micah Parsons injury, they're they're gettable on the ground that

945
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 5: you'll get more of swift and manung guy and you coast.

946
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 5: Colston Lovelin ended up as the Bears leading receiver now

947
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 5: at Dunes. They had to miss a couple of games

948
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 5: to get there, but he's a guy that didn't really

949
00:47:08,160 --> 00:47:10,320
Speaker 5: catch more than two passes in a game unt a

950
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:13,240
Speaker 5: week nine, and he ends up as their leading receiver

951
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,279
Speaker 5: ten catches in the final week. And suddenly you start

952
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,560
Speaker 5: to play a little more chess and wondering if if

953
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 5: there's a little more still to be deployed, how much

954
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 5: against the Lions did they not bring out of the

955
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 5: bag that was there, you know, based on different things

956
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 5: that they're seeing. So I'm curious and knowing that this

957
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 5: was a likelihood right that the Packers were locked in

958
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 5: to this spot that you know, with that result, here's

959
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 5: where you end up that you want to make sure

960
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,920
Speaker 5: you've got a little bit extra and ready to go.

961
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 5: And let's face it, I mean familiarity breeds contempt. Like

962
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 5: you were saying before, you'd love to see a different

963
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 5: opponent most times. I think the Bears really want this

964
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:57,399
Speaker 5: one for once.

965
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 4: This is what I think is important for Chicago and

966
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 4: it's actually Jordan Love based Love obviously has dealt with

967
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 4: some health issues really throughout his career, at least the

968
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 4: last two seasons, but for the most part he's been there.

969
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 4: And also Jordan Love does have a little I don't

970
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 4: want to say Brett Farvinham, but he can give you

971
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,239
Speaker 4: one or he could give you two. And so you

972
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 4: saw it in interceptions earlier on in his career. Maybe

973
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 4: not as much this year, but that's where your defense,

974
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,319
Speaker 4: mikes thrives if you can get a turnover or two.

975
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 4: And he didn't play in that game in Chicago, but

976
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 4: I think Love can give you one or two, and

977
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 4: if you're able to get it, I think that could

978
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 4: end up being the difference in the game.

979
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, I extolled the virtues of what Al Harris has

980
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,400
Speaker 5: done with that secondary. I mean it's been amazing, the

981
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 5: ball hawking shades of that Super Bowl run. Sure you

982
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 5: know where everything bounced right up until you know they

983
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 5: were playing in the Super Bowl, and the thing everybody

984
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 5: remembers was Hester's return and then print singing Purple Rain

985
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 5: in the Rain. But all of that to say, big

986
00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:15,719
Speaker 5: opportunity here primetime on a Saturday. I'll be taking over

987
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 5: a bar in Boise, Idaho. As I moved my daughter

988
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,759
Speaker 5: into Boise State. So anybody that's at a bar that

989
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 5: hears this and has a good place for game watching,

990
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 5: count me in.

991
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:30,479
Speaker 4: That'll be on on Saturday night. And yeah, the Sun

992
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,720
Speaker 4: Times said that they decided to put what they felt

993
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 4: was Niners Eagles best matchup on that Fox window, and

994
00:49:39,880 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 4: the way that I read it was it was a

995
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 4: toss up maybe between Sunday Night Football and the Amazon game,

996
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 4: and they kind of threw a bone to Amazon and

997
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 4: be like, all right, you get Packers and Bears streaming,

998
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 4: let's move on to the future. So that's how that

999
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 4: ended up settling out. But that leads us to that

1000
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 4: Niners Eagles game, which I do think is the most

1001
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,280
Speaker 4: intrigued gave him the weekend. I don't know what Niners

1002
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 4: team is going to show up, and I have no

1003
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,399
Speaker 4: idea ever what team Philadelphia is going to show up.

1004
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 4: So it should be fun between the Eagles and Niners

1005
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 4: coming up on Sunday afternoon.

1006
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, as we lock in for this one, Philly a

1007
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 5: four and a half point favorite over under sitting at

1008
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 5: forty four and a half and tickets over over two

1009
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,920
Speaker 5: hundred bucks. As for all the NFC matchups, as we

1010
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:28,719
Speaker 5: look at the grid just some crazy numbers, but in

1011
00:50:28,840 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 5: Chicago lowest ticket four fifty four to seventy, So if

1012
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 5: you want to pay the piper. But for the Eagles,

1013
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,880
Speaker 5: it goes back to, you know, as we surmised, I

1014
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,719
Speaker 5: think a bit over the course of the year, right,

1015
00:50:41,800 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 5: they thrive in chaos And for Sakuon Barkley, how much

1016
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 5: of his early usage was knowing that you want to

1017
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 5: you need him as much as you can coming off

1018
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 5: a massive workload season for the end of season strength

1019
00:50:58,400 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 5: and to get the run game going.

1020
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 3: Now they've had injuries on the.

1021
00:51:00,719 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 5: Offensive lines that have beset that, but Barkley's looked better

1022
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 5: the last three weeks than he had all season, running

1023
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 5: with more authority and juice at that next level. And

1024
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 5: San Francisco comes in really banged up defensively. We've talked

1025
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 5: a lot about the lack of pass rush, but now

1026
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 5: you've got lack of bodies when you're talking about that

1027
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 5: front seven. So the opportunity to play a little bit

1028
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 5: of smash mouth of football, and then Jalen Hurts picks

1029
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 5: his spot for you know, your nemesis a J. Brown

1030
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 5: or Devonte Smith or Goddard to get involved that you know,

1031
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 5: I think maybe there's just too much there, particularly if

1032
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 5: Barkley starts running downhill, because we know brock pardy as

1033
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:44,399
Speaker 5: good as he is at times. You know, you talk

1034
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 5: about Jordan Love giving you one, rock Perty will give

1035
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 5: you one too.

1036
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1037
00:51:49,400 --> 00:51:52,480
Speaker 4: These Seahawks are their best running game in weeks against

1038
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,800
Speaker 4: San Francisco on Saturday Night. They're just like it looked

1039
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 4: like it was a running game. I mean, heck, they're

1040
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 4: kind of their final drive after the the McCaffrey interception

1041
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 4: because I'll put it on him. Even though the ball

1042
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 4: was tipped at the line, you know, they were able

1043
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 4: to work the you know, work the clock and took

1044
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,880
Speaker 4: seven minutes off and just work the football downfield. And

1045
00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 4: Philadelphia is a much better running team than than Seattle is.

1046
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 4: So the Niners are going to have their work cutout

1047
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 4: farm And you're right, there is there is no pass rush.

1048
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 4: The Niners injuries that they talk about. I mean, if

1049
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 4: and if Trent Williams can't play, then it's kind of

1050
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 4: a kind of a rap. But if he's there, San

1051
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 4: Francisco does have a chance when you have McCaffrey, when

1052
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,719
Speaker 4: you have George Kittle. But they're gonna have to be

1053
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 4: They're gonna have to be on point. And what a

1054
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:47,879
Speaker 4: weird way for San Francisco again, just you know, you're

1055
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,520
Speaker 4: entering you're entering the weekend thinking like we maybe we

1056
00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 4: don't have to leave home at all, right, and now

1057
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 4: you could have your season end in Philadelphia. Uh, they

1058
00:52:57,400 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 4: just there isn't much of a pass rush. But sometimes

1059
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 4: Aalen Hurts doesn't need a pass rush to make a

1060
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:04,839
Speaker 4: bad decision or a bad throw that could also keep

1061
00:53:04,840 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 4: the Niners in it.

1062
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 5: That is a fair point with a guy whose average

1063
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 5: air yards is among the highest in the league certainly

1064
00:53:11,440 --> 00:53:14,680
Speaker 5: does put the ball up for grabs on occasion. I

1065
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 5: gotta say, just you know, even though your squad's got

1066
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 5: the buy dan, that defensive effort by Seattle.

1067
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they was something man on Saturday night.

1068
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 4: It's fun to watch, right, like, I mean like and

1069
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:33,600
Speaker 4: it was funny because in San Francisco doesn't have this

1070
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,680
Speaker 4: and it's not going to happen every single week. But

1071
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 4: anytime like brock Purty threw short, it was it was

1072
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 4: just it was it was game over. Like you weren't

1073
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 4: you weren't going anywhere. There was somebody always around doing something.

1074
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,279
Speaker 4: I think he had. I think he was. Maybe I

1075
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:54,319
Speaker 4: want to get his official stats up because I'm going

1076
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 4: to quote he was sixteen of twenty for one point

1077
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 4: for ninety seven yards. Party was so sixteen completions that

1078
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 4: he hadn't even broken one hundred yards. Like that's all

1079
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 4: I mean, that was just they just locked them up.

1080
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 4: Crazy seauc should have been up twenty to three in

1081
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 4: that game, you know, I mean, they had plenty of opportunities.

1082
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 4: But it's also why I'm a little skeptical as the

1083
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 4: number one seed.

1084
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:23,320
Speaker 1: Because we're still making these mistakes eighteen weeks into the season.

1085
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 4: You know, so we're missing twenty six yard we they

1086
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 4: are missing twenty six yard field goals, which, by the way,

1087
00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:30,720
Speaker 4: there wasn't even a need.

1088
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:31,480
Speaker 1: To kick the field goal.

1089
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 3: No, that's true.

1090
00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: They should have just went for.

1091
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 4: It and you know what, maybe a score, you know,

1092
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 4: maybe you throw it into the end zone. If not,

1093
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,600
Speaker 4: they're backed up, you're up ten, there's only two twenty

1094
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:43,720
Speaker 4: to go, and uh yeah, but I digress.

1095
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:44,879
Speaker 3: It was a great drive.

1096
00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:46,919
Speaker 6: There is no perfect team this year, Dan, I'd feel

1097
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:47,839
Speaker 6: pretty good about them.

1098
00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:48,440
Speaker 1: That's true.

1099
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 4: No, that you're you're absolutely right, But that's also then

1100
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,359
Speaker 4: kind of you know, for a way, like like when

1101
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 4: Seattle made their first Super Bowl twenty years ago in

1102
00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 4: Super Bowl forty, I felt pretty good that they were

1103
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 4: probably going to go to the Super Bowl, just like

1104
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:05,759
Speaker 4: the way that it set out, the way that team was,

1105
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 4: how good they were at home, and I felt like, Okay,

1106
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 4: all right, this is probably going to happen. Even in

1107
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 4: the legion of boom years, you know, like they you know,

1108
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 4: got the host the Niners. I'm like, okay, well, maybe

1109
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 4: the next year they beat Green Bay in the in

1110
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 4: the championship game in a game they probably should have lost,

1111
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:27,640
Speaker 4: they should have lost it since they probably they should

1112
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 4: have lost that game, and they ended up winning it.

1113
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 4: But this year, it just it's such a coin flip,

1114
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,040
Speaker 4: Like I kind of feel like Detroit last year, Like

1115
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 4: I don't know, like it caught Detroit off Garden. I

1116
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 4: feel like I'm more prepared, Like, you know, they could

1117
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:41,840
Speaker 4: they could lose in the divisional playoffs, especially if a

1118
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 4: RAMS team ends up coming to town. If you know,

1119
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:47,439
Speaker 4: the Eagles and Bears end up winning and face off

1120
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 4: in the one divisional and the Rams beat the Panthers,

1121
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 4: they got to face the Rams again in Seattle, and

1122
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 4: that is just that is no fun.

1123
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 5: Well, I mean history, I'm sure you've seen it a

1124
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:00,359
Speaker 5: million times. We speak it out here right of when

1125
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:02,800
Speaker 5: they're a number one seed, they take care of business,

1126
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:06,400
Speaker 5: find their way to a super Bowl. They don't lose

1127
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 5: it in those spots except when there was nobody in

1128
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:13,040
Speaker 5: the stands. And then when there's a.

1129
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 3: New pope installed.

1130
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 5: Yes, yeah, so you got you got that, just like

1131
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 5: the Steelers with the Holy Water. I mean like you

1132
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 5: got divine intervention perhaps on your side.

1133
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:27,360
Speaker 4: But again, Mike McDonald is only lost. You know, they

1134
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 4: were better on the road this year than they were

1135
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 4: at home. They lost one road game this year. They

1136
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 4: lost two games at home. Crazy as crazy as it was.

1137
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 6: And the thing is this new pope is a Bears fan,

1138
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 6: because that's true.

1139
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 3: White Sox fan.

1140
00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 1: Is he a neighbor, Mike? Was he your neighbor?

1141
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,440
Speaker 5: Because he certainly wasn't very far away, like I know

1142
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,319
Speaker 5: the neighborhood. I feel like I need to go make

1143
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:50,840
Speaker 5: a pilgrimage there. I did send him a card to

1144
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 5: see if he'd sign it, because the Tops made a

1145
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 5: card of him, so I sent one to him to

1146
00:56:55,800 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 5: maybe keep in one to sign. But yeah, it's maybe

1147
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:02,319
Speaker 5: maybe maybe we got it on the side because we

1148
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 5: already got the number one draft pick for the White Sox.

1149
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 3: So things are working.

1150
00:57:06,239 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 4: Oh well, things are turning around on Chicago's South Side.

1151
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,279
Speaker 4: All right, that's gonna do it for us. On this

1152
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 4: wild Card Preview, we'll be back again. We're doing one

1153
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 4: episode through the NFL playoffs, and then we'll wrap up

1154
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 4: the year with our recap of the Super Bowl sixty

1155
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 4: and our Top sixty preview going into next year's fantasy campaign.

1156
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 4: All right, guys, let the playoffs begin. Let's have some

1157
