1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,440 Speaker 2: What is a straight firefam It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight 3 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: Foyer for Monday, January the twelfth. We're not posting video 4 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 2: of this podcast, but which you don't see is that 5 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 2: I am recording currently shirtless because I lost my shirt. 6 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,760 Speaker 2: Gambling this weekend on the NFL. Oh my gosh, it 7 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 2: was bad. I think I picked almost every game wrong. 8 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 2: I won like two bets and lost almost everything else. 9 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: It was really a bloodbath. One of the craziest Wildcard 10 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,919 Speaker 2: weekends I can remember. So much happened, absolute and utter chaos. 11 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 2: Friday started good right. Indiana crushes Oregon. That was an 12 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 2: easy layup. Indiana advances to the Natty unbelievably, It's a 13 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 2: week from today Indiana Miami. Indiana favored by seven to 14 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: seven and a half. But then the NFL was just 15 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: all weekend and the one game where I actually had 16 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,680 Speaker 2: to do something, get off my keyster off the sofa. 17 00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: I was coaching my daughter's basketball team and man tough 18 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 2: game barely won twenty three eighteen nail bier. And the 19 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 2: guy who was doing the score, I keep asking him constantly, 20 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 2: Eagles score, Eagle score, and it was it was thirteen ten, 21 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 2: then sixteen ten, and then the game ends and I'm 22 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 2: in the car instantly put on the phone. You know 23 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 2: you can watch it on your cable app, and I 24 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 2: see this amazing trick play. Juwan Jinnings throws the TV 25 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,199 Speaker 2: pass to Christian McCaffrey and I'm like, oh boy, not good. 26 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 2: And the Eagles, you know, they did come back and score, 27 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 2: but then the Niners ended up getting the game winner 28 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 2: and Jalen Hurts and company failed right in the red 29 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 2: zone there at the end of the game. Folks, I 30 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: am floor. You know, you can start with so many 31 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: wildcard games this weekend were madness, chaos. I was gonna 32 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 2: start with Sunday Night Football, the Chargers no show against 33 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: the Patriots, and everybody's gonna kill Justin Herbert. We'll get 34 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 2: to that, but I just the one that really completely 35 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 2: shocked me was the Eagles. Now, the big wrinkle in 36 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: all this was that Lane Johnson, who was slated to play, 37 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: was like a late scratch. And obviously Lane Johnson is 38 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: paramount to that offensive line. But here's the problem. The 39 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 2: Eagles actually played fine. I mean, yes, the Niners said 40 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 2: more yards and more yards were play more first downs. 41 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: But I'm just telling you the Eagles started off hot. 42 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: They came out with a good game plan. One hundred 43 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 2: and eighty two yards, fourteen points on the first three possessions. 44 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: They moved the ball easily. They won the turnover battle. 45 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 2: I mean two nothing. If I told you the Eagles 46 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 2: sae Quon Barkley was gonna rush for a buck six 47 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: and they were gonna win the turnover battle two to oh, 48 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: and George Carroll was gonna pop his achilles in the 49 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 2: second quarter, you'd be like, oh, okay, Eagles picked a score. 50 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 2: I still don't know how they lost this game. I mean, ultimately, sadly, 51 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: it comes down to, you know, this whole offensive coordinator 52 00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 2: to disaster. Jalen Hurts couldn't hit a pass down the field. 53 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 2: AJ Brown has a brutal drop, Folks. I am absolutely 54 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 2: floored by this result. Honestly, Eagles defense was great. Critny 55 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 2: On Mitchell gets beat. Honest lant to DeMarcus Robinson, how's 56 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 2: this hell you want? Craziness? DeMarcus Robinson didn't have a 57 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: fifty yard receiving game all season. He caught six for 58 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:29,200 Speaker 2: one hundred and eleven yards, like DeMarcus Robinson, Kyle Shanahan 59 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: is him? All these all the stats that you were reading, 60 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 2: and I might have parroted some of them about, oh, 61 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 2: well you know Vic Fongio defense is against Kyle Shanahan. Well, 62 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 2: Shanahan hasn't been able to do anything. Well, rock Perty 63 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 2: had a pretty damn good game. He did throw two picks, 64 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 2: but brock Perty was pretty damn good. And here's my 65 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 2: biggest issue with this game, and what sucks is that 66 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 2: as a result, Sanfran goes to Seattle. We just saw 67 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 2: that last week. It was not competitive. Trent Williams is back, 68 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 2: but George Kittle's not. And now they're on the road 69 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: as opposed to home. I mean, do you guys think 70 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 2: that they have a chance. I don't. I'm I'm actually 71 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: kind of disappointed that we get this as a matchup. 72 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 2: I just don't think it's compelling at all. And I 73 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 2: think you could pretty much pencil Seattle into the NFC 74 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 2: title game. I mean, I saw zero now that negu 75 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: has rested Seattle team, and I know there's the potential 76 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 2: for rust on a case of the Seahawks, but let's 77 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 2: be real, guys, that San Fran was never in that game. Now, 78 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 2: maybe if Christian McCaffrey doesn't drop it and it turns 79 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 2: into an interception inside the ten yard line, maybe sanm 80 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: Fran pulls it out. But I don't know how you 81 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: can feel optimistic about that game going forward. As for 82 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 2: the Eagles, listen, you never want to overreact and fire 83 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 2: people instantly. I think obviously the OC is gone. I 84 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 2: think you've got to get whatever you can for aj 85 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 2: Brown and in all honesty, and my Eagles fan, who 86 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 2: was my neighbor, he's a diehard Eagles fan, and you 87 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: know he's texting me during the game, and he does say. 88 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 2: John Harbaugh was the Eagles special team coach before he 89 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: got hired by the Ravens. Is there a world where 90 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 2: they say, hey, if we can get Harbaugh, we're booting Sirianni. 91 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: Now everybody thinks they get Harball, the Dolphins. Who is 92 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 2: the other one? Oh, the New York Giants, those up 93 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 2: too appear to be the leaders. But I mean, if 94 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: Harbaugh has the choice of taking on the Dolphins or 95 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 2: the Eagles, one of these teams was in the Super 96 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 2: Bowl last year eleven months ago and destroyed the Chiefs 97 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: and they won eleven games, and they don't seem to 98 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 2: have any problems outside of they cannot figure out an 99 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 2: offensive coordinator for Jalen Hurts. I mean, he's gonna next 100 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: year will be I'm pretty sure seven and seven years. 101 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 2: And then it becomes, well, what do you think Giants 102 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: or Eagles? If you're John Arbaugh, and I sure you 103 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 2: can build around Dart on the rookie deal. But I'm 104 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 2: taking Hurts in that offense all day, every day. That 105 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 2: defense is ridiculous. I don't even think it's a contest, 106 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 2: all right. Besides that matchup, a lot of people will 107 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 2: point to Bears Packers as the next best game. But 108 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: I'm just gonna quickly get through this Chargers game because 109 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 2: I could not have been more wrong. I mean, the 110 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 2: Chargers offensive line we knew was a problem. Everybody knew that. 111 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 2: That's obvious. The Patriots don't get to the quarterback. They 112 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 2: have not all season. That's not in their DNA. The 113 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: Chargers offensive line is so bad. They got to Herbert 114 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,239 Speaker 2: for six sacts last night. Six He took some brutal hits. 115 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 2: And now the Chargers defense was excellent. Minter kept him 116 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 2: in the game. They had five sacks of Drake Bay 117 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 2: and another team and this will be a theme all weekend. 118 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 2: The Chargers won the turnover battle. They had one turnover, 119 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 2: the Patriots had two. And by the way, the Patriots 120 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,479 Speaker 2: did not to make it to they top three hundred 121 00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 2: yards offense. They had a night couple of nice drives, 122 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 2: Drake may one with his legs. But think about this, 123 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: Patriots zero for three in the red zone. Chargers were 124 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 2: over two. The Patriots did not overwhelm and impress me. 125 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 2: I thought the defense was good, but this is about 126 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 2: the Chargers and Justin Herbert. And I know if Rob 127 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 2: G wasn't sick, he would be telling me that Justin 128 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 2: Herbert is garbage. And Justin Herbert is not a good quarterback. 129 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: And he's the most overrated, overhyped guy in the league. 130 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: And he in his three playoff performances, I think he 131 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: has or no. The last two, the one against the 132 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: Texans last year and this one, I think they don't 133 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 2: have an offensive touchdown? Is that what it is? 134 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: Oh? 135 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 2: I'm sorry sorry. In two playoff games with Harbaugh Herbert, 136 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 2: Greg Roman is the OC, the Chargers have been outscored 137 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,239 Speaker 2: forty eight to fifteen and have one TV on twenty 138 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: two offensive possessions, and it's like, well, how good can 139 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 2: the quarterback be if they can't do that? Well, you 140 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 2: know last year they had no weapons, right, so they 141 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 2: prioritize weapons. They get the kid what Trey Harris, They 142 00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 2: draft O Mary and Hampton. By the way, Hampton was 143 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: supposed to be healthy. One carry minus one yard, that's it. 144 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 2: He was hurt. Trey Harris, young guy. Two catches on 145 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 2: three targets for twenty yards. So yes, they did upgrade 146 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: the skill position guys. But then the offensive line fell 147 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 2: apart and Herbert was just a punching bag. And this 148 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: was supposed to be the game that they could survive 149 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: it it was not, and they just couldn't generate any offense. 150 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: I will remind you before you freak out on Herbert, 151 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: and yeah, I'm not gonna lie, guys, I do during 152 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,679 Speaker 2: the games. I look at the mentions on Twitter. I 153 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 2: try not to respond unless there's people who actually follow me. 154 00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 2: But a lot of hate for Herbert, and I gotta 155 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 2: be honest, I don't totally get it. Going back twenty 156 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 2: what he was just twenty twenty six, Going back twenty 157 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 2: eight years, here are the quarterbacks who have lost their 158 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 2: first three career playoff starts. Matthew Stafford one or two 159 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 2: were in Detroit, matt Ryan, Peyton Manning with the Colts, 160 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 2: Andy Dalton, and Justin Herbert. So, like I don't want 161 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 2: to people are overreacting. I believe to Herbert being bad. Yes, 162 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 2: he was bad. He's a young quarterback and his offensive 163 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 2: line was shot to hell. We've seen Patrick Mahomes in 164 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl without an offensive line. He can't do 165 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 2: a damn thing and they get murdered. So and he's 166 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 2: got a Hall of Fame coach in Reed, and he's 167 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 2: got skill position players out the wazoo. I mean, Herbert 168 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 2: really was a man on an island tonight. And I 169 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 2: totally read this game wrong, but that was the theme 170 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 2: of the weekend. I mean, I went against all the 171 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 2: first time playoff starting quarterbacks. I went against Bryce Young, 172 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,199 Speaker 2: and the Rams screwed me royally. Well, maybe let's just 173 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 2: knock that one out, becau It's quick, Rams lead fourteen nothing, 174 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 2: and it's like, okay, we're cooking, and then it's fourteen seven. 175 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 2: Rams have a failure. Another issue is that killed me specifically, 176 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 2: was teams not taking points and teams deciding to get 177 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 2: greedy and go for touchdowns, and I get it. Oh, 178 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 2: it's the playoffs, you gotta get touchdowns. Well my kind 179 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,079 Speaker 2: of sort of. You know what you gotta do. You 180 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 2: gotta score points. Like the Chargers went for it and 181 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,400 Speaker 2: got nothing. Failed, so then the next time they kicked 182 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 2: the field goal. And I know what. People are just 183 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 2: gonna scoff at this, and that's fine, and the analyst 184 00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 2: community will say, well, you gotta follow the numbers. I 185 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 2: get that, but football is not played on spreadsheets, guys. 186 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 2: It's not all about the numbers. And this is you 187 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 2: can even laugh even harder. All these coaches who are 188 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 2: on social media have never coached any level of any sport. 189 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 2: I'm talking youth sports, college, high school, nothing, and they're talking. 190 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 2: They're just murdering these coaches. They don't know what they're doing. 191 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 2: How could they miss that? Go coach a youth sports 192 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: anything where the decisions have to be made in real 193 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 2: time on the fly, and you don't have the view 194 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: that you have on TV. And I mean you're on 195 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 2: the field, you're right there in the battle, and you know, 196 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 2: to reference, my kids use sports. I'm coaching my daughter's 197 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 2: team and they were mostly playing man demand against us, 198 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 2: and then we just pick and rolled them a lot 199 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 2: first quarter and we got out to a lead. So 200 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 2: then they changed it and I didn't really know what 201 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 2: was going on. I didn't know what defense. I couldn't tell. 202 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 2: And my assistant coach, who you know, buddies we've been 203 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: coaching for a while, he wasn't there. He had to 204 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 2: coach his daughter. So I'm turning to the girls who 205 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 2: were on the bench and I'm like, guys, what are 206 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 2: they doing defensively? I can't even tell? And they so 207 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 2: I called a couple of timeouts, and essentially they were 208 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 2: just jumping up the game the way I junk up 209 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 2: the game, which is genius, but I'm not gonna reveal 210 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 2: that you're on the podcast. And they were preventing us 211 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 2: from doing what we want by just junking things up. 212 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 2: So we made a couple of weeks. Anyways, it's hard 213 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 2: and now think about it in real time if you're 214 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh McVeigh and these guys are great coaches, but 215 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 2: even the Bills coach, and we'll get to it. They 216 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 2: made a bad mistake late, like some of the decisions 217 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: by the coaches just were not exceptional this weekend, and 218 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: it burned me with McVeigh again. Just kick the field goal, 219 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: go up the Jags in the first half. Oh that 220 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 2: hurts so bad going for it in close instead of 221 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 2: kicking with your automatic eye caim Little. Then you'd end 222 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 2: up like trying to chase points with a long field 223 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 2: goal for Little. Of course, one of the best catchers 224 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 2: in the league misses. You got the Packers Boyd special 225 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: teams just murdered Green Bay. Two miss field goals and 226 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 2: a miss extra point. There's no way they should lose 227 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 2: that game. We'll get to it. It's just it's so confounding. 228 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: This was one of the wackiest weekends because there's no 229 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 2: dominant team this year. Nobody looked great. I mean, I 230 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 2: guess you could say the Patriots look great, but their 231 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 2: offense wasn't Chris. They had two turnovers. They didn't roll 232 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 2: over the Chargers. I mean, honestly, I was Chargers were 233 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 2: in that game until like us eight minutes left, when 234 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 2: they basically killed Justin Herbert. So this idea that anybody's 235 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 2: good right now is just absurd. 236 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 237 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,319 Speaker 1: the nation.

Start, 242 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 2: fourteen to nothing, offenses clicking, everything's humming. And then I 243 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: don't want to say they sad on the ball, but 244 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 2: up seventeen to seven, you know, late in the first half, 245 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 2: and they got a chance inside. Where are they it was? 246 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,000 Speaker 2: Was it a blocked punt? Yeah, it was it the 247 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 2: nineteen yard line, and you know they're in good shape. 248 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 2: It's like the field goal. You go up twenty to seven, Well, 249 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 2: you know what happens, turnover on downs. And I know 250 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 2: people don't want to agree with this, but it's reality 251 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 2: in sports. When you do a big gamble like that 252 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,440 Speaker 2: like the Rams did, and you fail. The Panthers are 253 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 2: at home, the crowd is juiced up. The offense is like, 254 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 2: we got a shot. There's a minute left. Let's get aggressive. 255 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 2: Bryce Young down the field, bing bang boom, seventeen to fourteen. Now, 256 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 2: if you spin it forward, the Rams just kicked that 257 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 2: field goal to go up twenty to seven. You get 258 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 2: a long kickoff the crowd's not into it. You're down big, 259 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 2: and now it's obvious that you're chasing points, and you know, 260 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 2: the Rams defense from there just I mean, they let 261 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 2: up and then you know what happens. Panthers come out 262 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 2: second half, defense juiced up field goal, tied Rams and 263 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 2: it was just back and forth the rest of it. 264 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,640 Speaker 2: There was a moment I thought the Rams are gonna 265 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 2: lose his freaking game, but Stafford did some incredible things 266 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 2: down the stretch. He ended up with three touchdowns. Poka 267 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: Nicool was excellent. Eighteen targets. That's just ridiculous. Panthers have 268 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: something though, They've got some defensive pieces in place. I 269 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 2: personally was surprised. The one thing that surprised me from 270 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 2: the Panthers on this one Rico Dubtle five carries nine yards, 271 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 2: Chuba Hubbard thirteen for forty six. They're running backs. Longest 272 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 2: carry was eight yards. So the Rams defense was pretty good. 273 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 2: Through the air, not so much so. The schedule next 274 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 2: week Rams at the Bears on Sunday. Rams installed as 275 00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 2: small favorites three and a half four, depending on where 276 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 2: you are. I don't know. I mean I want to 277 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 2: take the Rams, but I mean how many times have 278 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 2: I know Bears fans are laughing at that? How many 279 00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: times have I gone against the Bears? That's all they do. 280 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 2: They just come back and beat me, and I look 281 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 2: like an idiot. I mean you ask, they go, Well, 282 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 2: it can't last forever. I don't know, may it kind 283 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 2: of sort of feels like it might. Let's just go 284 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 2: ahead and do the other NFC game. And this was 285 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 2: Packers Bears. Just an unbelievable bull turn of events. These 286 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 2: two have met so three times this season, and all 287 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 2: three games were pretty great. The last two incredible rallies 288 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 2: by the Bears. I called them lucky. You know, you 289 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 2: guys could just say Caleb Williams is clutch and I 290 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 2: don't have a counter because it may have been lucky, 291 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 2: but Caleb was clutched. So what do you want me 292 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 2: to do? There's no way the Packers should lose his game. 293 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 2: Their kicker, as I said earlier, two missfield goals, missed 294 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:29,520 Speaker 2: extra point Bears, two turnovers, Packers zero, Packer's perfect in 295 00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 2: the red zone, Bears two for five. How do you 296 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 2: lose this game? Well, you're up twenty one to six 297 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 2: in the fourth and you kind of stopped playing. I 298 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 2: mean they were up was it seventeen? Yeah? Their first 299 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 2: three touchdown, Their first three possessions went touchdown, touchdown, touchdown. 300 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:51,120 Speaker 2: They're rolling twenty one to three. And then I saw 301 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 2: what I just galls me is these teams go out 302 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 2: to an early lead, have a great game plan and 303 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 2: then like stop playing. It's just solutely bizarre. They did 304 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 2: nothing in the second half, and I know that sounds crazy. 305 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:09,200 Speaker 2: Jordan loved three hundred and twenty three yards four tunnies. Honestly, 306 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 2: they did really no a. I mean, Josh Jacobs couldn't 307 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 2: get on track and for some reason they kept stalling out. 308 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's to the point where people want 309 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,239 Speaker 2: Lafleur fired. Now. I'll be honest, I don't totally get that. 310 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 2: I understand Packers fans are frustrated. It doesn't really seem 311 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 2: like this is how this organization operates. You lose Michael 312 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,440 Speaker 2: Parsons and frankly no pass rush. You know, but are 313 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 2: you really firing a guy a when there's no slam 314 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 2: dunk coach out there? Could they get Harball? I mean, 315 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 2: I guess you could probably get Harball or try, but 316 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 2: look at the competition. Dolphins Giants, maybe maybe the Eagles, 317 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. But then if you fire Lafleur and 318 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 2: you don't get Harbaugh, what is Kevin's tefanski and upgrade 319 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 2: from Laflour. Show me all the great playoff games he's dominated, 320 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,719 Speaker 2: you know, like there is no slam dunk out there. 321 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 2: Do I think Laflour is great? I don't know. I 322 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 2: think he's really good. I think he's a top ten 323 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 2: coach in the league. And frankly, if Caleb Williams on 324 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 2: fourth and eight doesn't jump to get out of the 325 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 2: grasp of a defender and then complete a thirty yard 326 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 2: bomb down the field, we're not even having this discussion. 327 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 2: And the Packers win, and it's like, Hey, great season 328 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 2: for Ben and Caleb, Congratulations, enjoy your parting guests. We'll 329 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: see you guys next year. But Caleb dud, I mean, 330 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 2: just done. Did unbelievable things in that game. I'm like, 331 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 2: borderline speechless. Colston Loveland, remember people were like, how could 332 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 2: you draft Colston Loveland ahead of Tyler Warren? What are 333 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 2: you doing? Colston Warren? Colston Loveland eight for a buck 334 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 2: thirty seven on fifteen targets folks fifteen targets for a 335 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 2: rookie tight end. That's crazy, and it worked. He was unguardable. 336 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 2: I mean, you knew the wall was going and the 337 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 2: Packers couldn't stop it. Ben Johnson in his bag with 338 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 2: that awesome ghost wide receiver screen that went for the 339 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 2: go ahead touchdown. To DJ Moore, I said, man, I'm 340 00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 2: done doubting these guys. Maybe next season they won't win 341 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 2: all these close games. I gotta get the close games record. 342 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 2: They're one of the best in the league. But it's like, 343 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 2: I mean, this is a Bears team that had beat 344 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 2: the Packers two out of three. Both of them they 345 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 2: were down dead, it was over, and they came back 346 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 2: in won just the grit. The Ben Johnson celebrations are 347 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 2: becoming a thing. I've got a couple buddies in Chicago. 348 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 2: I'm sure Cowhard's gonna be insufferable today Today a couple 349 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 2: buddies in Chicago were just like, this is the greatest 350 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 2: ride ever. And I told my Jets buddies are a 351 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 2: texted like guys. It could be worse than being a 352 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 2: Jets film. We could be a Green Bay Packers fan 353 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 2: who just lost up twenty up twenty one nine heading 354 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 2: into the fourth, they were up and worse, they were 355 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: up twenty seven sixteen with six minutes left. That's like, 356 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 2: how do you lose that game? That's like the kind 357 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 2: of stuff that'll send you into a funk. I'm not 358 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,520 Speaker 2: gonna lie. The last time the Jets lost a playoff 359 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 2: game AFC Championship against the Steelers I've talked about on 360 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,359 Speaker 2: the pod before. My buddy had a party. I was 361 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 2: first half, Jets were getting creamed, and you know, all 362 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,479 Speaker 2: these guys were smoking some stuff. So I got involved 363 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 2: and I was just sitting there and then the Jets 364 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 2: start coming back, and you get you get excited. You're like, oh, 365 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 2: we got this, Yeah, we're in it. Oh my gosh, 366 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,440 Speaker 2: Deep bombed to Santonio Homes. Oh my goodness, Oh look 367 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 2: at this, I mean, and then they couldn't stop being 368 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 2: He had a couple of big third down conversions and 369 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,440 Speaker 2: you lose, and that was kind of gutting, and I 370 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 2: remember being kind of like down for a day or two, 371 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 2: like that stinks. All right, Well, let's rebuild. We haven't 372 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 2: been back to the playoffs since I lost. Just by 373 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 2: the way, so Packers fans interesting forty eight hours ahead 374 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 2: I'll go ahead and guess Lafloria doesn't get it. Probably 375 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 2: changes on the staff. I don't know how all these 376 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,439 Speaker 2: people are, like get me Jeff Halfley please, like what 377 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 2: so Michael Parts is not there and Jeff Halfley is 378 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 2: what giving up thirty points to the Bears? Like game 379 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,880 Speaker 2: plans are good, but the adjustments like Dennis Allen adjusted 380 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 2: in the second half. Whatever the Packers were doing, they 381 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 2: weren't in the second half. So I mean another game 382 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 2: I was wrong on. I had packed money line, sh Man, 383 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 2: freaking Packers, Jags, first half, Chargers, Eagles. It just all 384 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:39,600 Speaker 2: went Rams didn't cover. It just was brutal. I did 385 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 2: look at something interesting. I saw this, So home teams 386 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 2: on Saturday went to and zero. Right, I'm sorry against 387 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,159 Speaker 2: the spread because the Panthers covered, and then what was 388 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 2: the other Saturday game? And then the Bears covered. And 389 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 2: then on the road you had the Rams winning on 390 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 2: the road, you had Buffalo winning on the road, San 391 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 2: Francisco winning on the road. So road teams won three 392 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 2: games this weekend. I saw there were three wild Card 393 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 2: road wins total in the previous three years combined, so 394 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 2: pretty impressive stuff to go on the road but it 395 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 2: also goes back to my other point that like nobody's great. 396 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 2: I mean, I thought the Eagles were really good. Now 397 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 2: a bunch of my Super Bowl future matchups are wiped out. 398 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,160 Speaker 2: I thought the Chargers going to beat the Patriots. 399 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 400 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 1: the nation.

I got no read bills 407 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,960 Speaker 2: at the Broncos Saturday bills opened as favorites. It's now 408 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 2: pick him. I need to see the injuries because Buffalo 409 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 2: was getting beat up in that game. They lost what's his? 410 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 2: Gabe Davis went down with an injury. Denver's rested. There 411 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 2: is the rest versus rust. There is the Buffalo had 412 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,280 Speaker 2: to travel to Florida, then goes home, and that has 413 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 2: to travel to Denver. I mean, there's a lot of 414 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 2: stuff to take in. I am curious how sean stuff. 415 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 2: I'm just spitballing out loud that I'll research this week. 416 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 2: How has Sean Payton done against running quarterbacks this season? 417 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 2: Is really good defense? That's kind of overrated. McDermott just 418 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,159 Speaker 2: you know, I don't know if he's a great coach. 419 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 2: I do think he saved his job. Well, I should 420 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 2: say Josh Allen saved his job with that late drive. 421 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 2: I mean that was the one game that you kind 422 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 2: of knew. Okay, if Josh Allen gets the ball late, 423 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 2: he's gonna win the game. Drives the field for the 424 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 2: game winning touchdown five for five fifty three yards. I 425 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 2: mean James Cook had forty six yards on the ground. 426 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 2: He got dinged up. Your top target is Shakir who 427 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: caught twelve passes on twelve targets for a whopping eighty 428 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 2: two yards. I mean, Alan didn't look healthy. He took 429 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 2: some crazy body shots. My guess is money comes in 430 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 2: on Denver and this ends up being Denver minus two 431 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 2: and a half. Mine it close to maybe minus three. 432 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 2: I have no read on this game, but I just 433 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 2: bo Nicks went to Buffalo last year as a rookie. 434 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 2: They got to an early lead and then Buffalo boat 435 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 2: raced him. I don't know if you guys, trust trust 436 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 2: bo Nicks. If the ground game's not working Bo Nicks 437 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 2: versus Josh Allen, who you got? Yeah, that's wrong. Leaning 438 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: Niners at Seahawks. We already talked about that. I don't listen, 439 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 2: you guys know, I love brock Purty. I don't know 440 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 2: how you can make a case for Seattle. But interestingly, 441 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 2: Buffalo and San fran both played on Sunday. Now they've 442 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 2: got to go play on Saturday. Like, is the league 443 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,959 Speaker 2: trying to help the teams that were rested? Why not 444 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 2: make the Rams play on Saturday, you know, instead of 445 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 2: the Niners. Now the other one obviously, you can't have 446 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:22,880 Speaker 2: play on Saturday. The Texans Texans Steelers winner, they'll play 447 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:24,959 Speaker 2: at the Patriots Sunday, and then Rams Bears. I mean, 448 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 2: I'm leaning Rams. How could you not? But Bears fans 449 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 2: will like, go for it, bet against us. Everybody has 450 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 2: been all season. You're screwed. And then I think the 451 00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 2: path for the for the Houston Texans should they get 452 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,240 Speaker 2: by the Steelers. But I'll admit every game I've picked 453 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 2: so far has been wrong. I mean, is there any 454 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 2: way I can misfecide here? I think the Texans win tonight, 455 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,320 Speaker 2: and I will be picking against picking on them against 456 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 2: the Patriots. Did they play this season? Let me just 457 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,200 Speaker 2: quickly check. I feel like they know they didn't, because 458 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 2: remember the Patriots haven't played anybody. And if the Patriots 459 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 2: couldn't really do much against the Chargers defense, what are 460 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 2: the Patriots going to do against the Texans defense? Which 461 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 2: is better? So I we'll see plenty of stuff to 462 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 2: look into with the matchups. Zero bets on the card, 463 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 2: probably because I'm broke. It was it was brutal. Actually, 464 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 2: the weekend highlight for sure was Nikosa. Their new season 465 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 2: just started and we came out of the gate two 466 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 2: two goals early, end up winning three to one. Our 467 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 2: new big signee drill to p K. It was awesome. 468 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 2: That was like the highlight of my sports weekend. Every 469 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 2: literally everything else went wrong. Here's what futures I have left. 470 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 2: I have Jags rams, super Bowl. There's that's not happening. No, 471 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 2: so that's not left. I don't know why that hasn't 472 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 2: been crossed off. I had Chargers Seahawks that has been eliminated. 473 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,239 Speaker 2: I have Patriots rams, I have Texans Seahawks, and I 474 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 2: have Texans rams. That's in one one place in the other, 475 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 2: which not a great weekend. Here's what I got left. 476 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 2: I have Houston Texans to win the Super Bowl plus 477 00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 2: sixteen hundred. I would love for that to happen. Houston 478 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,120 Speaker 2: Texans to win the AFC plus six hundred and then 479 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 2: super Bowl matchup Rams Bills. Seems like it's gotten no shot. 480 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 2: So yeah, future is not great. It's just such a 481 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 2: crappy feeling when such a good season kind of starts 482 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 2: to go up and smoke in the playoffs, and I 483 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe I would say I'll pivot to college hoops, 484 00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 2: but I don't know. If you guys saw Michigan did 485 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 2: not cover last week first time, you know, snap the streak, 486 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 2: and then I bet them again on Saturday, I think 487 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,000 Speaker 2: they bounced back against Wisconsin. They lost outright, So Michigan 488 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 2: loses their first don't cover twice in the week. Gotta 489 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 2: start looking at new college basketball angles. Maybe there's some 490 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 2: NBA bets to be at. I don't know, but I 491 00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 2: don't really see a whole hell of a lot yet 492 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 2: For the divisional round. Obviously, you gotta check whether there 493 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,399 Speaker 2: could be totals. Some stuff will jump out. It's just 494 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 2: Licking my wounds is never fun. 495 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: All right. 496 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 2: That's it for a Monday. Obviously, I'm on the Texans tonight. 497 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,439 Speaker 2: Go c J Stroud. Talk to you tomorrow.
