24
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: Welcome back to another Additionally Around the NFL podcast. My

25
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: name is Dan Jansas and I am joined by a

26
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: room filled with heroes, Mark Sessler, Chris Westling and Greg Rosenthal.

27
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: What up? Boys? Thrown of ease? Is that a Sessler

28
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: call back? It is, but it does not refer to

29
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: us as an entity. It refers very specifically to Greg

30
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: oh being a New England Patriots And the throne is

31
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: out today and deeply appropriate. Drop there, and I'm sure

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: t d behind the glass chose that one for a

33
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 1: very specific reason. Yes, says the you know, winners again

34
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 1: of the ANC East. Why not? How how great? How

35
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: great the Patriots despite all of us in the room,

36
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: the three of us, I say, Greg west and Dan

37
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: all doubting the Patriots and thinking there's no way they

38
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: could win twelve games again and win their division. It

39
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: just couldn't happen. It turns out that's what happened. Who

40
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: never tried to say that? You think he meant to say?

41
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Greg never doubted him. He tried to but he knew

42
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: all along that the events of the regular season utterly meaningless.

43
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: They will win the division every year until Tom Brady.

44
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm glad this is the lead of the podcast. What

45
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: a pleasant surprise. I hope you feel good about yourself.

46
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: I had nothing to do with it, because I'll ask forever,

47
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: because Tommy can't play forever. It's Week fifteen, Sunday, A great,

48
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: great week of action. Some surprising adventures in football today,

49
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 1: some disappointing adventures in football. I'm looking in Mark's direction.

50
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: We'll get to that a little bit later, but we

51
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: should get right into the action because there are a

52
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: lot of games to get to, and why don't we

53
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: start as we can kind of often do on the

54
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: Sunday Show with the defending Super Bowl champion. It's appropriate

55
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: the Seattle Seahawks, who remained alive in the race for

56
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: the NFC West after knocking off the forty Niners uh

57
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: with a seventeen seven win on Sunday. The Niners are

58
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: officially eliminated from the playoffs contention with the lost mark.

59
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: The Seahawks weren't gonna let the opportunity to bury the

60
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: Niners get away, would they. I think they got a

61
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: much tougher Niners team than what we saw in Thanksgiving.

62
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: San Francisco came out of the gate really really with

63
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: a good game plan and then with a lot of toughness,

64
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: but injuries bit them hard. And what I also saw

65
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: was Seattle doing what they do best, which was smother

66
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: the opponent on defense and run the ball. Their averaging

67
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy nine yards on the ground since

68
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: trading Percy Harvin. I mean, they just they went right

69
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: at San Francisco that way, and that defense is just

70
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: getting better and better. I don't want any I would

71
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: never want to play this team in the playoffs. They

72
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: look just as good at last year's team right now.

73
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: So what was going on with the offense when the

74
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: forty Niners were shutting him down for the first half. Well,

75
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: I think early on they were able to bottle up

76
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch. But that's why he's been so good of late,

77
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: is that he is he seems to get stronger as

78
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: the game goes on. He looks really reborn to me

79
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: over the last month or so. I think we first

80
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: notice that in that Raiders game last month, and that

81
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, Chris Borland for the Niners had an ankle

82
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: entry was out for part of the game. They suffered

83
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: just they just they got worn out. I think the

84
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: Seahawks found a way to just keep going at them

85
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: with the runs successfully. I think the forty Niners defense too,

86
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: has had this type of performance they've been doing this

87
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: week after week. They maybe not quite as good uh

88
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: the last few weeks, but for the most part, they've

89
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: been a top five or six defense that really hasn't

90
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: fallen off that much. It's really just been the offense.

91
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: Do we think are we gonna chalk this up as

92
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: a last season in San Francisco And obviously looks like

93
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh is gonna be history. We had our seventeenth

94
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: consecutive week on NFL dot Com of a Jim Harbaugh

95
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: under fire post before kickoff on Sunday. Has to be

96
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: some sort of record. Um was this year? It kind

97
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: of an aberration and they'll hire a new coach and

98
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: and get back to winning or did we really see

99
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: the closing of their super Bowl window and they're going

100
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: in a different direction now. Totally depends on the quarterback. Yeah,

101
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: I think if they can straight now Kaepernick and the

102
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: offensive line has been pretty brutal. This year, they're gonna

103
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: have to rebuild debt. I think they still have it open.

104
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: I mean when you look at the talent that they

105
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,679
Speaker 1: have Environed Bowman getting healthy for the most part. On defense,

106
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: They've got a number of talented players. They always has

107
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: been a little bit of an older team, but Trent

108
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: Balky's drafted well, it's pretty good rookie class that they

109
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,360
Speaker 1: have there in San Francisco to I think they'll be fine. Alright.

110
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 1: So the Seattle victory is even bigger, Gentleman, because of

111
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: what happened today in Buffalo. Mario Williams stripped Aaron Rodgers

112
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: late in the fourth quarter, stripped him of the football.

113
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: I just want to make that clear, leading to a

114
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 1: game clinching safety, and the Bills is upset. Upset of

115
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers in Orchard Park. The Bills kept

116
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 1: their playoff hopes alive and made Aaron Rodgers look mortal.

117
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: Not a bad day of work, Chris Wesley. Bills entered

118
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: this game number one in Football Outsiders Metrics for past defense.

119
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,919
Speaker 1: And we mentioned on the last podcast they fly to

120
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: the ball when they play at home. They are they

121
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: you know, Seattle is the best defense in the NFL,

122
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: but the bill aren't that far behind them. How did

123
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: they do it though? Because Aaron Rodgers. It doesn't matter

124
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: what metrics or what any team has. It seems like

125
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers carves through anyone. Today. Though very average numbers

126
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: from the box score I looked at, they came out

127
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,119
Speaker 1: of the gate sluggish. The Packers did several miscommunications between

128
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and his wide receivers. The receivers dropped I

129
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: believe eight passes today, which is the most by any

130
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver CORPS old year, and Rodgers misfired on a

131
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: couple of his first interception. He he had Jordy Nelson

132
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: wide open down the sideline for a touchdown and didn't

133
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: even see him. And then there was another play where

134
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: Rogers hit Nelson in stride on a play that should

135
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: have been in ninety four yard touchdown, but Nelson dropped it.

136
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: I mean his number seventeen forty two four point four

137
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: yards two interceptions. That's like an Andy Dalton having a nightmare,

138
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: prime time game type of game. It's enough to maybe

139
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 1: damage his MVP chances a little bit. It was the

140
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: worst game of his career by passer rating, completion percentage

141
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: and yards for it's u. I love that the Bills

142
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: were able to pull this off and get this win

143
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: because sometimes in Week fifteen, I like to see kind

144
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: of the stories that we've seen all season kind of

145
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: come to the front. It's like they were on their

146
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: last legs. They still have a tough path to the playoffs,

147
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: but for them to come through with the home win

148
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: against the Packers like this, they have the Raiders next week,

149
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna stay relevant until Week seventeen. It's like it's

150
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: kind of every reward for what this defense has done

151
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: all year and they have been that good. And talk

152
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: about a coaching staff that saved its own high. I mean,

153
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: and if there's if there are football gods out there

154
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: and the Patriots, where are we right now with the

155
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: Patriots and Broncos. Well, the Patriots have the one seed,

156
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: but they can't slip up Buffalo New England that that

157
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: could be a big game. Bring it up because I'm

158
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: wondering if there would be any situation where New England

159
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't be playing their starters in Week seventeen and maybe

160
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: they get back door in because they're gonna take care

161
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: of business. You would think the Bills will against the

162
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: Raiders next week nine and six at Patriots week seventeen.

163
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: They need a lot of They need a lot of help.

164
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: Even if they won those two games. They need more

165
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: help than teams like the Ravens and Steelers, and they're

166
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: gonna need some things to happen even if they did

167
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: win in New England. But the Patriots are only going

168
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 1: to get that one seed next week if if Denver loses,

169
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: if Indianapolis loses, So Tony Dunge doesn't sit as starters,

170
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: that's true. I mean they really They've made a habit

171
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: of going out and going after teams, and it was

172
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: last year in Week seventeen where they destroyed the Bills. Right.

173
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: I still have a hard time seen Buffalo winning two

174
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: road games in a row with Kyle Orton as their quarterback.

175
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: As bad as Rogers was today, Orton wasn't any better.

176
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: And we but they do deserve credit because none of

177
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 1: us in this room, and probably virtually no one outside

178
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: Western New York thought they were gonna win this game.

179
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 1: West you talked earlier that you thought this could be

180
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: a close game, and you were certainly right about that.

181
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: But now you've got to give them credit that maybe

182
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: this defense if they make a couple of plays with

183
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,839
Speaker 1: Kyle Orton, you know, crazier things have happened. It's a

184
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: nice season for Buffalo either way. Moving on, so the

185
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: Bills stay alive in the FC playoff race, but division

186
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: the FC East is no longer in play. The New

187
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: England Patriots when the a f C East for the

188
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: four straight year on Sunday pummeling the Miami Porpoises in Foxboro,

189
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: Greg Bill Belichick calls this a T shirt and hat game,

190
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: and isn't that adorable. There's been a lot of them,

191
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: twelve division titles for Bill Belichick and Tom Brady to

192
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: get in. You know, you got to enjoy him because

193
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: you never know it might be the last one. I

194
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: almost assigned this game out to you, Dan, and then

195
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: I realized to rub it into the face of a

196
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: New York Jets fan because I like to mix it up,

197
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, I like to watch the different games that

198
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: didn't seem like necessarily the most intriguing game on the

199
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: board here. Uh. But it was a perfect way to

200
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 1: encapsulate this team, which is that like at points they

201
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: don't impress you that much and then suddenly it's just

202
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: an avalanche and it's over. If you think about that

203
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: Chiefs game on Monday Night, I believe where they justlacked right,

204
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: and there was always talk about the team and what

205
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: do they do after that? They won one lost one

206
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: more games since then, and I will begrudgingly give this

207
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: organization credit because they this is what they do every year.

208
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: They overcome obstacles and then get hot and they just

209
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 1: start demolishing everyone. And that's not easy to do in

210
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: the era. Parody that they have been able to what

211
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: is it twelve out of fourteen years they when they

212
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: have ceased, well, without trying to sound too much like

213
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: a Patriots homer, I think I would say this, ever,

214
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: I actually think this This late area, late era Brady

215
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: Belichick teams are almost a little underrated because they haven't

216
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: been able to get a ring. If they get a buy,

217
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: which they're in great position for it, they will be

218
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: the first team in NFL history to get five straight

219
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: playoff buys. So that's something they've done in this late era.

220
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: No other team since the seventies has won six straight

221
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: division titles, so that that's the first team since the

222
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 1: Steelers to do that. So this is the late Area

223
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: Patriots that have been as consistent as as some of

224
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: the early teams winning title and they are by far,

225
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 1: in my opinion, the best coach team in football because

226
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: that doesn't happen with had a lot of injuries in

227
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: New England every year. On defense, I mean, there were

228
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: they were a ton of setbacks this season. You got

229
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: guys playing and starting that we hadn't really even heard

230
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: of when the season began. So that's Belichick. I mean

231
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: that other teams can't pull that off. Give me a

232
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: reason for hope that the Patriots are not unstoppable. Juggernaut

233
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady a couple a couple of weeks in a

234
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: row now, maybe not as sharp in the first half,

235
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: he wasn't. I mean, the hope is old, He's not

236
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: gonna do it. He hasn't hit. He hasn't it vertical throws. Uh,

237
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: And that's been consistent for most of the year. And

238
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 1: you know, in the first half of this game, the

239
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: Dolphins pushed the Patriots around. It was two to one

240
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 1: oh one in total yards a half time, but it

241
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: was only fourteen to thirteen. And to me, that kind

242
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: of typifies this Dolphins team, who if you watch our

243
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: three things to know about On NFL Now, we got

244
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: our special NFL Now video. I talked, Yeah, we talked

245
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: a little bit about the Dolphins exclusive, how this is

246
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: probably the end of a Philipin era and it's kind

247
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: of typical that they're a little better. And then they

248
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: showed on the box car. But that's just how it is.

249
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: It's a week after week like that. So congratulations, great, thanks,

250
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: but that wasn't serious, all right. So the Patriots clinched

251
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: the a f C East, their main contender for the

252
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: number one seed, also did some clinching. The Denver Broncos

253
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: clinched first place in the a f C West with

254
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: victory over the San Diego Chargers. Christopher Wesling. The Broncos

255
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: once again leaned on the running game on a day

256
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: when Peyton Manning wasn't feeling quite himself. Peyton Manning finished

257
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: with a passer rating of one point six. He was

258
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: just good enough to get it done. But his arms

259
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: still doesn't look that great. And I still maintained that

260
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: the Broncos aren't purposely steering their offense away from the

261
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: greatest regular season quarterback in NFL. I think they have

262
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: to do this because his arms not what it was

263
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 1: and they're protecting him. But they did run more than

264
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: they passed for the third strade game, which is the

265
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: only the second time in Peyton Manning's career that that's happened.

266
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: It happened in two thousand and five. If you're a

267
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 1: Broncos fan, thoughe this formula which is working down the

268
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: stretch here, I'd be very concerned with any reduced performance

269
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: from Peyton Manning in general and think we're gonna get

270
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: back to another Super Bowl. Yeah, I agree with you.

271
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: To me, it's a red flag. And you know that's said.

272
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 1: They've won all these games, it's still a red flag

273
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: to me that when you need Peyton Manning in the playoffs,

274
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: is he gonna Is that arm gonna be there? Yeah,

275
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: I hear you. But this defense is It's great that

276
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: they're winning games with defense. And for all those teams

277
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 1: where Peyton Manning was carrying the entire team, it's like, Okay,

278
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: maybe because of his arm strength, he's not the best

279
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league any or like what if he's

280
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: the ninth best going into the playoffs. Like if your

281
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: defense is great and you're running the ball, you can

282
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. This isn't the two thousand Ravens. No,

283
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: but it's a really good defense. I mean, we gave

284
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 1: the Patriots all sorts of love last week for shutting

285
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: out That's Chargers in the second half. They they have

286
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: ten points today. Well, Greg, so we've acknowledged that you

287
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: are a Patriots homer. Like if if you, let's say,

288
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna face this Denver team in the playoffs, who

289
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: want to deal with this version that scene right now

290
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: or the one from ten weeks ago. I don't know.

291
00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: They beat the one when everyone was still talking about

292
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: Peyton Man. Everything works for you, Okay, it's fine. All

293
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: I mean is is that that's where we're going. I'm

294
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: not really into style points that much. I think the

295
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 1: fact that they're playing great defense like we were hoping

296
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,880
Speaker 1: to see and they didn't have for a big chunk

297
00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: of the year, is a very good sign for the Broncos.

298
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean, they had eleven yards per tempt. They must

299
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: have been doing something right throwing the ball today. Yeah,

300
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: they let them. Thomas, I'll jump Brandon Flowers a few times, right,

301
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: but can't you just do that? I mean, they've got me.

302
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: He are right there with the best receivers in the league.

303
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: You can't just do that. Wait, who did he out

304
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: jump Brandon Flowers? You want to make flowers today? And

305
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: Brandon Flowers is five ft eight, Tomrys Thomas is six

306
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 1: foot three, and Damarius Thomas is forte is not outleaping

307
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: defensive backs. Should we Uh? Someone on Twitter asking we

308
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: should stick a fork in the team of a t L,

309
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: the San Diego Chargers, for I don't think so. We'll

310
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: we'll have to retire down to the Danish office, uh

311
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: and talk about it. Coffee's tease, coffees tease, and take

312
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: a liberal amount of time to discuss this issue, maybe

313
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: deep into our shift tomorrow. But I will say, and

314
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, I picked. I had a hero pick riding

315
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: on the Chargers. I thought maybe they would get it

316
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: done against Denver. They didn't do it, and I just

317
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: want to I gotta one last time, but with a

318
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: difference spin Sandygo Super Chargers, Sundo super chart. What is

319
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: happening here? That's mommy stop? Uh, that's it. Even couldn't

320
00:15:54,480 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: play the exciting song A Child's Dreams Shattered always, Uh,

321
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: Chargers fans listening to this, I wouldn't fork him by

322
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: the way because they have two games against I don't know.

323
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: I think they get a shot. Greg never forks any

324
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: team until they're mathematically eliminated, ruining the whole purpose of forky.

325
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: What happened to this team? It used to be an

326
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: exciting offense? What happened to the passing games? They ran

327
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: into this Broncos defense that you're talking so big about.

328
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: I think also, what Ryan Matthews wasn't healthy? I don't

329
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: he didn't play. Yeah, he was out there, a different

330
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: team without him. Alright, more clinching, gentlemen. The Indianapolis Cults

331
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: are a f C South champions after taking care of

332
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: business in a seventeen ten win over the Houston Texans

333
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: at the stadium they call what West Lucas Oil Stadium.

334
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 1: Patra on the line, I believe our Chicago correspondent a

335
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: great man, drinks egg yoke in the morning. How you doing,

336
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: Buddyn Patrick? Come back? How's it going lately? Buddy? We

337
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: haven't seen you in a while. We miss you. Fantastic

338
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: license just going grand? Yeah right, good, let's good here.

339
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,439
Speaker 1: So the Cults won despite another surprisingly mediocre performance by

340
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck Is that correct? Yeah? He didn't look good.

341
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: He had one really good driver six for six and

342
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: score touchdowns. Other than that, he was eighteen for thirty

343
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: four in the day, only eight seven yards. Second time

344
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 1: in the year he's gone under two d yards passing,

345
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: and he just he didn't couldn't hit anybody. He couldn't

346
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: find open receivers. He got pass rush, but he only

347
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: got sacked twice by what and that was it the

348
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: whole game, but that he did get pressure, but he

349
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,159
Speaker 1: just looked off the whole game. Luckily for the Colts,

350
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: they were playing a third string quarterback. Well, you've watched

351
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: the tape, you've been able to study it live. Hopefully

352
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: you've already gone back and watched it on game watching,

353
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: unless you're a slacker um, which I've always have had

354
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 1: my doubts. Uh yeah, sure. Is Tom Savage a real HUMANO?

355
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 1: Big question? Well, at least somebody with the name Savage

356
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,360
Speaker 1: on the back of their jersey did plaque and tell

357
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: you that human being with the name was it? Was

358
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: it one of those what is it? One? Are those

359
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: like Tupac holograms. I wasn't able to take a DNA

360
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: test from where I was working, so I can't tell

361
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: you other than that well, that sounds like you didn't

362
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: do your job. But all right, go on. I am

363
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: seriously curious how this this man with Savage on the

364
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: back of his jersey performed and what he played for

365
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: three quarters at Fitzpatrick broke his leg. He's out for

366
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: the season. How did Savage look? Uh, he was overwhelmed

367
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: in the first half, just absolutely couldn't even get it.

368
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean, his second play of the game, he a miscommunication,

369
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,479
Speaker 1: was sacked because the running back was went to the

370
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 1: other side. And then the next drive, after they had

371
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: gotten Reggy Wing fumble, he botched another handoff. He had

372
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: three more were that were he almost botched handoffs, and

373
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: he couldn't make throws. He had to really pretty deep

374
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: deep balls, but on that went for half of his

375
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: d seven yards. Other than that, he was scattered shot

376
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: and he could Unfair to him. I don't think he's

377
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: had any first team reps in practice, which other quarterbacks

378
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 1: ahead of him, But he just looked overwhelmed for the

379
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 1: majority of the game. That was my impression in seeing

380
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: him in preseason that he was so overwhelmed to the

381
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,440
Speaker 1: point that he has multiple years away from being able

382
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: to perform at an adequate level in the NFL. Tell

383
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 1: us about feats of strength by J. J. Watt. He

384
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: he he was about to take over. I thought he

385
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: was gonna take over the game in the second half.

386
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: He had two sacks in the first half, kept a minute,

387
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 1: kept the Colts from when Savage first came, and I

388
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: thought it's gonna be an easy blowout. But he made

389
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: some plays, blew up a couple of plays. He had

390
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: two tackles for lost. But in the second half he

391
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: didn't have a sack. He had two big plays on

392
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: running plays, but other than that, and this defense just

393
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: looked worn out at the end. He really didn't have

394
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: his best game of the year. That's definitely for sure.

395
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: It's crazy that you're saying that in like a two

396
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: sack game. He has seven sacks in the last three weeks.

397
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:50,399
Speaker 1: J J watches reminding everyone keep him in your m

398
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: v P thoughts. That's Colts team is. They're kind of

399
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: in trouble and if if they don't bench Trent Richardson

400
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: and Reggie Wayne, they're not they're not going to be

401
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: good enough to do anything in the playoffs. Hot take,

402
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: put that in the quotes and then send it out

403
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: on Twitter with that Wesseling take. What was uh? What

404
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: what was reggilaye di? Did he get any targets today?

405
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: What was his situation? He caught four balls for twenty

406
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,120
Speaker 1: four yeards, like I said, he had one stripped away

407
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 1: from the turn into a fubble. He didn't. He just

408
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: didn't look like himself. He was always in the fly.

409
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: Actually early in the game they went with Moncrief and

410
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: Hilton and in two wide receiver sets, he wasn't on

411
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: the field and he just did. He still doesn't look right.

412
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: He still is catching it a little uh, not as

413
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 1: forcefully as he usually is. He's not going into hit.

414
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: He doesn't look right to me. All right. So there's

415
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: Kevin Patra. Thank you as always, Mr Patra, great job,

416
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: appreciate alright. Moving on a different kind of clinching in Nashville,

417
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: where the New York Jets won the battle but lost

418
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: the war. They beat the Tennessee Titans sixteen eleven at

419
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: LP Field, but the win all but clinches the now

420
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: three and eleven Jets won't pick first next April barring

421
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 1: some type of blockbuster trade. The Titans have lost eight

422
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: in a road to fall into two and twelve when

423
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 1: they are in very good position, uh to be in

424
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: the top three, if not the top one. Uh, Greg,

425
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 1: you were sitting next to me during this game. This

426
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: one was a very painful watch for a Jet fan

427
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: who you know, invested himself in the Jets losing out

428
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 1: and they can't even do that. So I I got

429
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: just when I thought there was no other way to

430
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: experience the Jets in a painful manner, rooting against them

431
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 1: and still somehow them screwing me and everyone else that

432
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 1: was hoping for the same thing, which is the Jets

433
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: going to and fourteen Jet devastating and then the almost

434
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: Music City miracle to end the game where Delaney Walker

435
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,439
Speaker 1: takes a bunch of laterals he gets inside the ten

436
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: yard line to get pushed just a one of the

437
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,359
Speaker 1: more surreal plays because there was so much riding on

438
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: it for both teams and and the draft and you know,

439
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,159
Speaker 1: suck for Duck and any anybody else who might be

440
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: at the top of that draft boards. So enough their

441
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: painful loss, uh for the New York Jets fans, even

442
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: though they want, well, you know, go ahead. Here's one

443
00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: way to look at it. Oh, Dell Beckham is the

444
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: best player in this rookie class, drafted twelfth overall. Yeah,

445
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: but still gonna get a good player. That's true, that's true.

446
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 1: But I guess picking him this whole thing, and yeah, exactly.

447
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if that if that's going to be

448
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 1: the case either. But this whole thing with me has

449
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: been about, is there a guy and college is not

450
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 1: necessarily my forte or any of us in this room.

451
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: But if if there's a can't miss guy at the

452
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: top of the draft, then the Jets can't mess it up.

453
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 1: I'm nervous about the Jets getting the eighth pick and

454
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, taking a linebacker or something because and forget

455
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: not seeing that they need a quarterback. Maybe they'll get

456
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: it right, But I think it's just something the Jeff

457
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: fan is clinging onto, the hope that this season won't

458
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: be a complete bus. Something comes out of it, and

459
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: that's the top pick that's not gonna happen. Well, it's

460
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: you may find out that you're in the perfect position

461
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: wherever you draft to get the player you want. I mean,

462
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: you may number one maybe where no one would take

463
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: one of the quarterbacks from this class. We don't know.

464
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: But the guy who's not gonna apply with all these

465
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: Jets fans that want to lose out is Rex Ryan,

466
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 1: who wanted to send a big message upstairs to the

467
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 1: front office and say I'm not about to do with

468
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: John Sick or Woody Johnson or anyone. Both those guys

469
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: were strangely. I don't know if they're I don't think

470
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: they are usually, but they're both down on the field

471
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: for this game in Nashville, which felt odd um and

472
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: then uh, you know, on the and Rex wanting to

473
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 1: escape with a little dignity in December. That makes a

474
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 1: lot of sense to me. But on the other side

475
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 1: of the ball, Jake Locker, who the Titans or whoever

476
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,679
Speaker 1: pays him next, wherever he ends up next is somebody

477
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 1: tries to make him a reclamation. Oh god, don't hear that. Uh,

478
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: they should just see if they could play him in

479
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: bubble wrap. This guy, he can't do it. He gets tapped,

480
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: brought down by Quentin Cobel's left shoulder injury, out for

481
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: the game, and incomes Clipboard Jesus, who I'm just happy

482
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: we could play Bush again on this podcast. He comes

483
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 1: in and does absolutely nothing, doesn't move the ball. So

484
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: it's not really much else to talk about. This game,

485
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: an awful game between two bad teams. Well there is

486
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: some fall out. This means we get a clipboard Jesus

487
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: sound drop and appearance on national television Thursday night Titans

488
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: Jags in the most important game for that number one pick,

489
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: because those are the two top contenders right now. Q

490
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: rating nightmare. And I'll add one more thing about this game,

491
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: the first and the mailman probably knows us back in

492
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: his back of his mind somewhere the first sixteen eleven

493
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: final in NFL history. Anybody in that stadium can tell

494
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: the grandkids. I was there. Eric Deckers looked better last

495
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, so he got that. He had an

496
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: awful drop, that he lost the ball rights and had

497
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: a touchdown that I called back because he stepped out

498
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: of bound. His first hundred yard game of the season.

499
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: But it was not a great game. Let's take a

500
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: look at the a f C playoff picture. Jets are

501
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: not part of that, but the Pittsburgh Steelers avoiding another

502
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: letdown against a bad team on Sunday taking care of

503
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: business and win over the Falcons at the Georgia Dome.

504
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: The Steelers are now nine and five on the season

505
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: and can win the a f C North, with home

506
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: victories over the Chiefs and Bengals in the next two weeks. Uh,

507
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 1: this is an interesting game that this. I don't trust

508
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers. They've been doing this to us all season

509
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,199
Speaker 1: where we get sucked in, and this felt like a

510
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: game where maybe they could let down with Julio Jones

511
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: out for the Falcons. But they played very well. This

512
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: was a well played game, no turnovers. Big Ben didn't

513
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: throw a touchdown, but he played great. He was so

514
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: accurate with this, throwing no turnovers for the second straight week.

515
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: Levyan Bell, who obviously been tearing the league apart the

516
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: last three weeks, didn't have as good a game in

517
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: terms of production. He did score two touchdowns on the

518
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 1: ground though. So Um, I think the Steelers are really

519
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: now a team to me that I'm very confident they

520
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: get in the playoffs. Um, but we'll see what happens.

521
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: They've they've taunted us before. It seems like this team

522
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: was so They had Julio Jones and there the way

523
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: he looked last week that at home they could almost

524
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: play with anyone. They just looked that danger against the

525
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: against secondary. But I mean what there was a killer

526
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: pick six in this game from Matt Ryan too. Yes, yep,

527
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: I mean, and that again goes back to the Steelers.

528
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: They played very well in this game and defensively, and

529
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,479
Speaker 1: the Falcons hung around, which you kind of expect them

530
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 1: to do in their building, but they ultimately couldn't you

531
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: brought up Matt Ryan. I just want to say there

532
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: was a absolutely atrocious um roughing the passer call. This

533
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: is the second time in two weeks where I've seen

534
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: the the officials and we saw in New England on Sunday.

535
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: There was another game to San Francisco. We can get

536
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,919
Speaker 1: to that in San Francisco where Jason Worlds came in

537
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 1: just drilled Matt Ryan. But it was a clean hit.

538
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: But because Matt Ryan's head kind of jerked back, they

539
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: threw the flag and it led to a Falcon's touchdown.

540
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: And I think we're gonna see talk this week. I

541
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: think about this because it's happening in It's happening in

542
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:47,639
Speaker 1: games every week, and it's just something they have to

543
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: games that one issue. It seems like in each case

544
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: it's triggered a scoring drive in a pivotal point in

545
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, So I don't know. I wonder. I'm

546
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: sure Dino Blendino will be talking about this on Total

547
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: Access this upcoming week. But a nice one for the Steelers,

548
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 1: who uh you know, I don't know. I love that

549
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: they're in position because they're fun. They're an interesting team

550
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 1: team of Atlin, but they are fun because leby on

551
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: Bell is the most fun player in the league to watch.

552
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: You mentioned it was it was a quiet Okay, that's

553
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 1: fair quiet game for him relatively, but he had seventy

554
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:21,640
Speaker 1: two yards receiving a hundred and eleven for I mean,

555
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 1: he is a legit m v P. Cannon. I don't

556
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: know why, and no one's talked about Levy on Bell

557
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: for that. Where would the Steelers be without him? And

558
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: then they get the Chiefs next week, that's a big game.

559
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: They get the Bengals and then maybe you know, playoff.

560
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: It's just gonna be a fun team to watch the

561
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: next you. I love that we're setting up the possibility

562
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: that the Steelers could beat the Bengals three times in

563
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: a five week span. Would that be Christmas for you

564
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:48,159
Speaker 1: coming around? I kind of feel like Wesleyan has jumped

565
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: off the neutral and now he's just the Steelers fan.

566
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: He's a hell of a look. The Bengals deserve it.

567
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 1: I am not a crook. What's up? What's up with

568
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 1: that's Richard? The Bengals broke my heart. They deserve all

569
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: my mnty Falcons better five and nine, still in good position, disgusting.

570
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: It's gets me so angry that one of those teams

571
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 1: are getting in and the Cowboys are the Lions or

572
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 1: the Eagles will be going home. But football is weird sometimes,

573
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: isn't fair. Let's stick in the a f C North

574
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 1: where Johnny Football. Uh john Football dropped a massive dud

575
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: in his NFL starting debut, getting smothered by the Bengals

576
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 1: and a thirty two nothing loss in Cleveland. How bad

577
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: was Manzoli completely just ten of eight team throws for

578
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 1: eighty yards and two picks. The Bengals remained in first

579
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 1: place in the a f C North and the Browns

580
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: are all but dead at seven and seven. In fact,

581
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: he allies the Cleveland Browns, who perished Sunday in a

582
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: fire reworkplace accident at the Factory of Sadness. The Browns

583
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: and their family asked that we respect their privacy as

584
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: they developed their secret time machine to undraft johnny Man's out.

585
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler hasn't blinked in nine hours. I can't kill

586
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 1: TD for playing that clip before. They should be forked

587
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: at this that was over. That was as predictable as

588
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: all the Bengals playing. It was doing the money signed

589
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: over and over again in this game. It was that

590
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 1: kind of dam I think, you know, and right out

591
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: of the gate about eight minutes in, and someone who

592
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: follows a bad team year after year can tell when

593
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: they have shown up just to deliver a big, steaming,

594
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: stinking egg. And eight minutes in I knew that was happening.

595
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: The boss chided me for saying this is over midway

596
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: through the first quarter, but it was. They were in

597
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: the red zone. They were in the red zone, number one.

598
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: It was ten nothing. That job by Greg who should

599
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: know better than than to walk into the eye of

600
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:07,719
Speaker 1: the store. Joe Hayden literally drafted an interception and they

601
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: were up seven nothing. They're down seven nothing in the

602
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: next play. Then he left with a shoulder interests. You're right,

603
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 1: you're right, congratulations, your team had five first dounds. Great,

604
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,000
Speaker 1: they were awful and like I you know, listen, it's

605
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: it's it's it's unfortunate to take a quarterback has played

606
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: his first NFL game and start to make long term

607
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: decisions about him. We don't know anything. He needs to

608
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 1: play the rest of the season for at least more

609
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: of a look. See, but so many issues today. They

610
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: have not looked this disorganized on offense all year. And

611
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,000
Speaker 1: I think that that's gonna happen when you switch quarterbacks

612
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: to a guy that like Tom Savage. Very few you know,

613
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: first team snaps. By the way, get ready for a

614
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: week of hot takes hashtag and I'll give you one

615
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: right now that I just popped across on Twitter on

616
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,959
Speaker 1: my tweet deck, Merril Hodge remember him, whoever drafted him

617
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: in Cleveland? They need to be fired and Hodge just

618
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: throw or he's throwing back to his you know earlier

619
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: hate on man's help, but today look at today. Fire

620
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 1: the owner. Anyways, you can't fire the owner. But I

621
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: think also it's it's one game. The thing that's been

622
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: a problem all year long for Cleveland is the run defense.

623
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: Let's not bury the lead. Jeremy Hill blew up today.

624
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: He ran you know, he trash talked the Browns in

625
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: their last meeting and ran over them today. A hundred

626
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: forty years, the Bengals had two hundred forty four yards rush.

627
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't beat teams that when you're not

628
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: putting any quarterback in a good position. When the Bengals

629
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 1: had the ball for thirty nine minutes, they lost thirty

630
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 1: to nothing. In a game where Andy Dalton was sub

631
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: gather zone four point nine yards per attempt with an

632
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 1: interest they didn't need. Hill ran for six yards per carry.

633
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: I mean, he was just one big run after the next.

634
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: What made Manzelle so bad in this game? Like what

635
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: when you were watching I saw one of his interceptions

636
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 1: where he had like RG three like mechanics where his

637
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: feet were all white and he was he threw laid

638
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: across the middle. On another one that was a bad

639
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: interception in the end zone. It seemed like he was

640
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: just completely discomb I'm sure it's a completely new world

641
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: to step in, you know, in late December, and the

642
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: Bengals were hell bent on sending a message to Manzell

643
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: from the start. The offensive line had one of the

644
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: worst games and months, and they couldn't run the football.

645
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 1: And yeah, he looked, he looked, he held a ball

646
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: too long. There were a couple of sacks that I

647
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: would put on Manzell specifically. You know, West said before

648
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: that a lot of sacks come down to the play

649
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: at the quarterback. In this game, that was the case.

650
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:22,720
Speaker 1: He's just looked very much like a complete raw, you know, debut,

651
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: late season rookie. It was. It was a mess. Here's

652
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: the state of the Browns quarterbacking. They are the first

653
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: team since the Woe be Gone nineteen seventy seven Buccaneers

654
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 1: with four straight games of zero touchdowns and at least

655
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: two interceptions. They only had one completion today double digit yards,

656
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: one over nine yards. Yeah, I mean, anyway you look

657
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: at this, it was so The move though for the

658
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 1: brown Zo is not to go waffling with a quarterback.

659
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: Now you're seven and seven, would take a minor miracle

660
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: or a major miracle to get in the playoffs. You

661
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 1: just roll with Manzell these last two weeks, right, we

662
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: just forked him, right absolutely. Well, I'm just talking about thematically. No,

663
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think you go back to Hoyer

664
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,200
Speaker 1: because he there's a very good reason he was benched.

665
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: I mean, if anything, you have to figure out a

666
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 1: little bit more about what you have at this position

667
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: for the reason West just mentioned. I mean, you're gonna

668
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: keep drafting quarterbacks, are signing some guy off the street.

669
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: I guess news for anyone who plays the Texans and

670
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: Browns in the final two games that they're starting Manzel

671
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: and Savage. I was gonna say what I would think

672
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: if I'm Mike Patton and I've worked hard all year.

673
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: If Manzel is not ready for this, I don't know,

674
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna I guess here's nothing you can do.

675
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: You gotta play him, but he could end up sending

676
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,000
Speaker 1: them into a seven and nine tailsman. I think Petton

677
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: has overachieved. People talked about the Browns is a two win,

678
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: three win team before this season, So I don't think

679
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: it's I don't know the last two games are gonna

680
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: change that you have. You've been surprisingly um upbeat today.

681
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: Is it because the nature of the beating you're at

682
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: piece that this is not a playoff game. There's not

683
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 1: gonna be any heartbreak. Yeah. Every other game has come

684
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: down to like a last drive, some sort of you know,

685
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: heart attack central where this was, Like I said, I

686
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: knew it was over by the end of the first quarter.

687
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,719
Speaker 1: No questions asked there there is the risk over the

688
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks though, that you go. You know

689
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: that the worry I would think as a long term

690
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,439
Speaker 1: Brown fan is just Johnny Manzel, Like if if he's

691
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 1: not the answer, how many years is this gonna cost us?

692
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 1: How long do we take do we realize it? Like

693
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,919
Speaker 1: you'd love to see just something in the next couple

694
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: of weeks with honestly like you and I don't say this,

695
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: you know I'm not. I'm just kidding around, but your

696
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: team have won twelve straight division titles over this isn't

697
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: even top fifteen events for Cleveland. This is fine. This

698
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: has been an absolute gem compared to my point is

699
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: all this good stuff that they have going on won't

700
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: matter unless they get their quarterbacks. I mean, you know that.

701
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: And and if Manzel, you know it's gonna be tricky.

702
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 1: It hasn't been a great rookie year, but it's only

703
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: well and now they could now they could be critiqued

704
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: for not giving him a long enough look to really

705
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: know what they have. But either way, they've got to

706
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: keep bringing quarterbacks in about no question about it, all right,

707
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: Moving on, the Kansas City Chiefs snapped their ugly three

708
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: game losing streak with a and win over the dreaded

709
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: or dreadful I should say Oakland Raiders. Mark Derek carrs

710
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: had some nice moments this season. But the rookie took

711
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: a beating here, didn't he. Yeah, Kansas City in this game.

712
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: The score, I mean the Kansas City blew up in

713
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,279
Speaker 1: the third quarter for twenty one points. They just name

714
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: over man the Raiders. Uh, you know, Carr looked fantastic,

715
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,400
Speaker 1: I thought, for what he's been this season. Last week

716
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: against the Niners, he played a very strong game. Everything

717
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: went and reversed today. The offense there's just no talent

718
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: around him in Kansas City. At home, they're tough to

719
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:32,840
Speaker 1: beat no matter who you are. And their defense really

720
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: they they they got a good pass rush on today.

721
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:37,399
Speaker 1: They took care of Car. I think it was something

722
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 1: like four sacks, eleven quarterback hits. They couldn't get anything going.

723
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 1: Oakland The real loser here, Jamal Charles. Fantasy owners watching

724
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 1: Nile Davis car a couple of touchdowns while Jamal Charles

725
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: gets fifty two yards only in a blowout victim. He

726
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: left for the locker room for a bit. But yeah,

727
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 1: I mean that that's sort of Kansas City only got

728
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 1: fifty two yards from and we're able to still pull

729
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 1: this one out. I don't want to see them in

730
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs just because they bore me to tears. No

731
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 1: disrespect to the Chiefs fans, but I think they may

732
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 1: get and they may wind up there if they continue

733
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:16,560
Speaker 1: to win. Real upset here. The Johnny Manzel got buried

734
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: into the middle of the show. That is interesting. That's

735
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 1: how insignificant he is. We have nothing to say on

736
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: these Chiefs and Raiders. I mean, they're in eight and

737
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: six team, but four John to the next, they're boring

738
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: as can be. They're painfully boring eight and six. All right,

739
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: let's move on to another boring team. The Ravens sacked

740
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: Blake Boardles eight times in a win over the Jacksonville

741
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 1: Jaguars Chris Westling Uh. This on paper or the box

742
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: square score doesn't look like the most impressive win. But

743
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: all that matters is Baltimore is nine and five with

744
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: two games to play. Right, The Ravens are not a

745
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 1: boring team. What kind of anti Ravens? I think? Marx

746
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: with me on this. I don't I don't love the organization,

747
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: don't love the people associated with the organization don't their

748
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: Twitter feed? Uh you know enough With the Ravens, they

749
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: are one of the few teams in the NFL that

750
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: it's actually better than their record. No matter what Bill

751
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: Parcel says about your record is you are what your

752
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: record says you are. The Ravens are one of the

753
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 1: best offenses and defenses in the NFL. And Joe Flacco

754
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: I think is playing better over the last month or

755
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 1: two than he has in his entire career outside of

756
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,240
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl run. Of course, folk did he today?

757
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: I mean did they today? They didn't seem like a

758
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 1: game where they one of their best games. Here he

759
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: played well. The running game got shut down justin Forcette

760
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 1: didn't do anything. But Flacco played pretty well. And he

761
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: doesn't have a fully healthy Tori Smith, so that's an issue.

762
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: But Owen Daniels made some plays. That guy doesn't really

763
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: move well anymore, but he's made some big, big catches

764
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: this year. Do we have to talk about Gary Kubiak

765
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: is a late sneak entry into that Assistant Coach of

766
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: the Year award. I think so they've got, you know,

767
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: outside of the Cowboys, the most consistent running attack in

768
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: the league and their offense now is based off that

769
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: stretch run system where it really fits flacco skill set. Well,

770
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: when you're leading receivers are Marlon Brown, Owen Daniels and

771
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: Crockett Gilmore and you're getting wins. In the end of

772
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: Rocket Gilmore is a real person. Someone's doing Marlon Brown complete.

773
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,880
Speaker 1: You're a big Marlon Brown fan. I am a Marlin

774
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: Brown fan. He's had to play more. I mean, he's

775
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: he's going to be a factor. I like, I just

776
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 1: like West straight challenging Bill Parcels philosophy on football. Yeah,

777
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 1: well I agree with him. The Texans, for instance, aren't

778
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: really a seven and seventeen Dan. If you were to

779
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,479
Speaker 1: run into Crockett Gilmore in a public setting, you would

780
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: realize he's about two ft larger than you and could

781
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: just take his hand and put it over your skull

782
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 1: and end your life. I mean, he's a person, and

783
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: if he listens to this podcast, he is going, by

784
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: the way, what's worse me not really knowing who he was?

785
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: Are you painting him as a murderer? All right, that's

786
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,959
Speaker 1: up for debate, but I think he's real. Alright, back

787
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: to the NFC, where football's worst division is heating up,

788
00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: and it's chaunty. The Carolina Panthers have taken over first

789
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: place in the NFC South after outlasting the Bucks nineteen

790
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:08,320
Speaker 1: seven team excuse me, nineteen seventeen on Sunday. Greg Rosenhal

791
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: was plugged in on this game. Derek and Derrick Anderson

792
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: is now two and oh in place of Cam Newton.

793
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:18,760
Speaker 1: This season quarterback controversy in Carolina. You took the words

794
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: out of my mouth. I mean Derrick Anderson's undefeated. There's

795
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: no quarter basically if you pace out his season, Derek

796
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: Anderson just matched the Dolphins as the next undefeated team.

797
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: I could say that with this straight he would be

798
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: great if he played the Buccaneers every week. He's a

799
00:39:42,120 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: playoff quarterback. Could be said for about every quarterback in

800
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 1: the NFL. And you know what else, he really has

801
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: lucked out? Well, Smith has flashed Pro Bowl potential as well.

802
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 1: He really has lucked out. I mean, you won the

803
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 1: lottery that you only get two starts all year, and

804
00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: then you just go back to the bench, and they're

805
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: both against the Bucks, the worst one of the worst

806
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: defense in You're gonna win them both. You're probably gonna

807
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: get a nice contract because of this, his career by

808
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: half a decade potentially. And one of those games Jerald

809
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: McCoy left in the first quarter or second quarter. Yeah,

810
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: he he left early in this game knee injury for

811
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,000
Speaker 1: the second straight week. And it was very similar to

812
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: the first Bucks Panthers game, which I also was assigned

813
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: to or assigned myself too. And that they should have

814
00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: blown them out. I don't know why I love this matchup.

815
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: They should have blown it out, blown them out. I mean,

816
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: they had four hundred yards in the first three quarters practically,

817
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: and they kept settling for field goals and they look

818
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: like the better team. Can I make an admission right

819
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,719
Speaker 1: here on the podcast My least favorite thing about the

820
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 1: NFL is Cam Newton on the sideline. He is either

821
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:43,280
Speaker 1: inactive or watching a preseason game after a quarter of work,

822
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: because he's essentially I'm wouldn't be surprised if he's in

823
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: full makeup the way he's looking for that camera. Greg

824
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: tell me that I'm right when I guess that he

825
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: was all over the place trying to bring attention to himself,

826
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: as West explained so accurately preening Schmo that he ooh,

827
00:40:58,680 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: he guys that, you know, whatever happened to be. He's

828
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,040
Speaker 1: excited for his teammates. Some quarterbacks are out there, you know,

829
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: like Johnny Manzel whispering. Who knows what about Brian Hoyer

830
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: when things are happening. Cam Newton, You're right, he was

831
00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: on screen quite a bit. It was most memorable. He

832
00:41:12,840 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 1: did some sort of special touchdowne dance when Derrick Anderson

833
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: completed a big third down at the end of the

834
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,400
Speaker 1: game to keep the clock moving. To come out on

835
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: the field. Just just you know, come on, man, just relax.

836
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: We don't need we see you a lot. We see

837
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: you enough. You're commercials. You're one of the star quarterbacks

838
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 1: in football if you're not playing. You know, I just

839
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 1: called down a little bit. Panthers are in first place

840
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: in the NFC South as we're taping. Saints can take

841
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: it back, but the Panthers are in first place. So

842
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 1: they have the Browns and Hoyer next, I mean, the

843
00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: Browns and Manzel next week, which suddenly looks like a

844
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: game they might be favored in. And then they and

845
00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: then they faced the Falcons in the final week. I mean,

846
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: they have it wasn't pretty decent path here to make

847
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: win the Division eight days ago. Hadn't the Panthers not

848
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: one since October? Yes, and now they're in first place

849
00:41:58,560 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: in the NFC South Poison Poison Division. It's embarrassing. The

850
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: Buccaneers are the worst offensive line in the league. Two minutes,

851
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: that's how how many minutes too long we spent on

852
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 1: that game? All right, let's talk. Let's talk some New

853
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 1: York Giants football, which is kind of exciting for one reason.

854
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 1: His name is Odell Beckham, who continues to dominate the world.

855
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: The Giants wide receiver had three touchdown receptions on Sunday

856
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 1: at the meadow Lands, leading the Giants to win over

857
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: the Redskins. Um Beckham's magic overshadowed the return of RG three,

858
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,920
Speaker 1: who replaced Colt McCoy, who went out after aggravating that

859
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: neck injury in the first half. Uh RG three actually

860
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 1: looked better, He looked spry, He made some plays. The

861
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 1: turning point of the game, however, came on the last

862
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,479
Speaker 1: play of the first half. R G three scrambles towards

863
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 1: the pylon, dives in. It's ruled a touchdown. They go

864
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 1: up to the booth and they ruled that the ball

865
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: had come out of his hand. Temporarily temporarily, even though

866
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: he grabbed it as he crashed down to the turf

867
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: after scoring, since he bobbled it when he hit the turf,

868
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: he did not have possession long enough for it to count.

869
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: Led to a huge brewha ha, I'll call it on

870
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: the field where Santown and met Moss flipped, got in

871
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:14,120
Speaker 1: a officials face, got tossed from the game. Uh, and

872
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: then really the Redskins did barely anything the rest of

873
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: the game after that. But this game was really about

874
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,880
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham and I wanna and West You're not gonna

875
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 1: like this, but I just want to throw Eli Manning

876
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 1: a bone here and just say yet again, he played

877
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: very well, and Odell Beckham obviously is a tremendously talented player.

878
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,400
Speaker 1: But that's like saying, wait, let me finish. That's like

879
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: that's saying, you know, Jerry Rice is only the only

880
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 1: reason Joe Montanna was good. Eli is making nice plays,

881
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 1: He's finding him. They have good chemistry and he he

882
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 1: picked up a new offense this season. And outside those

883
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: two weeks of struggle early on and then that one

884
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: Niners game where through the five picks, almost every week

885
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: he's been a very good quarterback. Um, so he is

886
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: not part of the problem. And the Giants have a

887
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 1: lot of stuff they have to fix, but the quarterback

888
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: position is not a concern for them. U UM, I'll

889
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: let you go with that lar thing. All right, that's fine,

890
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 1: but big eye roll in the middle of it. But

891
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,959
Speaker 1: that was a big But I'm stopping the fight here.

892
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham just landed three Haymakers to Mike Evans. Yeah,

893
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean this is over. Odell Beckham's he's up the kie.

894
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: I think he's doing things that no rookie watch the

895
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 1: same thing in the post that this is the It

896
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:26,200
Speaker 1: feels like the most dominating rookie here for a wide

897
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: receiver since and he and West. It's more consistent than

898
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: Moss too, It's true, And you're spot on about the

899
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 1: Jordan comparison. Just the way kind of he carries himself

900
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: and the way he kind of just the game kind

901
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 1: of almost unfolds around him. It's just it's really interesting

902
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: watching this, watching this guy play. The only thing that

903
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: can derail him from being one of the best players

904
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: in NFL history is injury. Whoa look what he's doing,

905
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: what he keeps doing this. I think we have a

906
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 1: quote to pull for the old Twitter get. So give

907
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 1: him the rookie of the aar. Let's give him the

908
00:44:57,120 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 1: fantasy m v P two while we're at it last

909
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and oh, win it the next the

910
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: next week, he's gonna do big. Kate Marra picked him

911
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 1: up in about weeks six and still missed the playoffs.

912
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: That's hard to well, we're like the giants. I jokingly tweeted, Hey,

913
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: he could even be an mvy P sleeper. And it's

914
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: to his testament that Dan has has actually took me

915
00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 1: seriously on next week. He also said Calvin Johnson is

916
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: gonna have touches, So I don't know when you're next

917
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: year's gonna switch that to Odell Beckham touchdown and they

918
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: I don't know if Victor Cruz comes back to be

919
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: Victor Cruz, but if he comes back healthy, that's a

920
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: nice little one to Yeah. This box score for r

921
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 1: G three. By the way, his white quarterback rating is

922
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 1: not very good because it looks great. Eighteen to thirty

923
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: six touchdown, He ran for forty six yards, but he

924
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: was sacked seven times and he fumbled three times and

925
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 1: none of that's in there and That's why I mean,

926
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 1: so it was a much better game. He would look clueless.

927
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: I mean he would look clueles before he got bened

928
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: if anything. And this Jake Ruden thing is gonna come

929
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 1: to a head. Um. He needs to be starting these

930
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: last two games. He's clearly the better option in the

931
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: McCoy So let's let's let him see. Let's see if

932
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: he can salvage something and build on this. We're not

933
00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 1: gonna have another week of Coulton McCoy neck watch like

934
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: he's no please, no, we are unfortunately, but and I

935
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: don't trust j Gruden to get this right, and he'll

936
00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: probably string along way at the right five posts can

937
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 1: mess up a junkyard. Alright. Moving on, the Detroit Lions

938
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: overcame fourteen a fourteen point first half deficit to beat

939
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,400
Speaker 1: the Vikings sixteen to fourteen and keep themselves in contention

940
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: for the wild card spot in the crowded NFC playoff picture.

941
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: Excuse me the division Stone play as well, Greg. This

942
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:40,960
Speaker 1: was yet another example of Detroit's defense, not the offense,

943
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: carrying the day, wasn't it. Yeah, they had a shutout

944
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:45,600
Speaker 1: in the second half. They really had to shut out

945
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,720
Speaker 1: the last forty minutes of the game. Teddy Bridgewater played

946
00:46:49,920 --> 00:46:54,399
Speaker 1: awesome through about halfway through the second quarter, and then

947
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 1: he threw a couple of interceptions which turned the game

948
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: around before halftime. The Vikings didn't score a point in

949
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: the second and a half, and Bridgewater got the ball

950
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 1: back twice in the last four minutes with a chance

951
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: to author a game winning field goal drive. He couldn't

952
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: either time. Detroit stopped him some reasons where his faults

953
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 1: some were not, but either way he couldn't get it done.

954
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,760
Speaker 1: I mean, get the lines credit because in years past

955
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 1: they lose this game, they lose a couple other games

956
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: in December, and they don't make the playoffs, and it's

957
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: a major disappointment. I still don't see them as a

958
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 1: team though that outside of nipping maybe one playoff game

959
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: is just gonna get They're gonna get picked off in

960
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: in January. Tell me if I'm wrong. No, I think

961
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: this game was very concerning. They had two d and

962
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: thirty three yards. Their offense had improved for a couple

963
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: of weeks against bad teams. Now they play a real defense.

964
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford had a hundred and fifty three yards. I

965
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: mean they were outgained uh three sixty two thirty three.

966
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 1: They won the game in part because Blair Walsh missed

967
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:49,879
Speaker 1: three kicks. I mean one was blocked, was pretty short,

968
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: one was sixty eight yards to try to win the

969
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:53,320
Speaker 1: game at the end. So that's not gonna go in

970
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: not getting done the last couple of weeks and now,

971
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 1: so they didn't look like a great team, but it

972
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,360
Speaker 1: is a great defense. It is crazy because they could

973
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: wind up with a with a bye. Yeah, they're there

974
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: for the place in the division right now. They have

975
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:07,640
Speaker 1: to win in Green Bay to win that division. But

976
00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: they're in first place right now that we can't just

977
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: hand that game to the Packers either. Here's a legitimate

978
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: concern for the Packers. Whenever they come across a very

979
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 1: physical team with a great defensive line, they lose. Seahawks, Lions, Bills.

980
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 1: They don't like, they don't like the other team getting

981
00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:29,160
Speaker 1: physical with them. That's a good point. And and the

982
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: Lions right now, I just wonder like, can you can

983
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: you win when Calvin Johnson's a little up and down,

984
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,680
Speaker 1: the Golden Tate, Matthew Stafford, Reggie Bush is missing in action.

985
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,840
Speaker 1: He's pretty much a total non Factors called him a

986
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: non person today, WHOA Well, I said, he's what did

987
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:49,839
Speaker 1: I say? Said? He's like the Lions answer? Mark put

988
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: it well to Traveris Cadet, that's basically where he's at. Right.

989
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:54,799
Speaker 1: We are questioning the existence of a lot of human

990
00:48:54,840 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: beings on this show. I'm not sure we have the

991
00:48:56,719 --> 00:48:59,319
Speaker 1: power to do that, but we're doing it. I don't know. Yeah,

992
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,799
Speaker 1: we're fun it. Your boy Charles Johnson looking good once again.

993
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 1: Talk about him? Yeah, let's talk about him. It's like

994
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 1: twenty minutes on what you do today? Led the team

995
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:14,360
Speaker 1: in receiving game like he always does. It's pretty good.

996
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: How come we're brushing over Greg's men crush on Teddy Bridgewater. Yeah,

997
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 1: it didn't work out today. It did for a little while.

998
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 1: I mean, he had some good moments against the Lions,

999
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: which some quarterbacks haven't had. He went three fifteen yards

1000
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: and a touchdown. But I think that crush is like

1001
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: one of those middle school relationships where you're dating a

1002
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 1: girl for two days and then she ships puts a

1003
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,720
Speaker 1: note in your locker. She's like it's over. Greg wrote

1004
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 1: six poems to Teddy Bridgewater last weekend. By the second quarter,

1005
00:49:38,880 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 1: he dumped him. I demand we lead the podcast of

1006
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater. That was it's all right, I mean, do

1007
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:52,760
Speaker 1: you want to alright? Moving up, it's your operation, which

1008
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 1: takes us to Sunday Night Football, where the Dallas Cowboys,

1009
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: after that taking that beating in their own bill on Thanksgiving,

1010
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: get some revenge against the Eagles in Philadelphia. They jump

1011
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 1: out to a twenty one nothing lead. They actually let

1012
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: that lead slip away and fall behind briefly in the

1013
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: second half, but then take control. It all ends in

1014
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: a thirty seven win for Dallas in a game where

1015
00:50:17,840 --> 00:50:21,359
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant once again reminded us that he's as good

1016
00:50:21,400 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: as anybody when he's on uh six one, fourteen and

1017
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. With the win, the Cowboys take over sole

1018
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 1: possession of first place in the NFC East, and the Eagles, uh,

1019
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,760
Speaker 1: the team that seemed like the favorites when this division

1020
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,919
Speaker 1: now could very easily be on the outside looking in

1021
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:43,239
Speaker 1: come post season. Gentlemen, your thoughts, well, what a way

1022
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys to shut out the people like myself

1023
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: and anyone else up who kind of just expect them

1024
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:50,920
Speaker 1: to fall apart. And my thing was, they haven't beaten

1025
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 1: good teams. I haven't seen them play consistently against good teams.

1026
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,400
Speaker 1: The fact that they blew that type of lead and

1027
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 1: they're on the road, and then to just come back

1028
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,479
Speaker 1: and fin this the game like that, I mean that

1029
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,280
Speaker 1: that shows a lot a couple of things with the Eagles.

1030
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: I I think their defense has some nice parts, and

1031
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: they've obviously, you know, better than last season's but a

1032
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,040
Speaker 1: little bit concerned about giving up that that much, thirty

1033
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:15,799
Speaker 1: eight points at home in a game that you really

1034
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 1: had to win. And secondly, there's a couple of teams

1035
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 1: in the NFC with very questionable quarterback situations about to

1036
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 1: go into the playoffs potentially one obviously Arizona, who clinched

1037
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 1: the playoff spot with this not being a tide to night.

1038
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: But to Mark Sanchez, you know, Wesleyan downstairs said, at

1039
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: one point he jumped off the Mark Sanchez bus, then

1040
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 1: he jumped back on, but then I think he probably

1041
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: jumped right back off. Well, I said, this is the

1042
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 1: first time since he's started that I feel better about

1043
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles with Nick, with Nick Foles than Mark Sanchez.

1044
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: And then Greg convinced me to at least stay through

1045
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 1: the end of the game before I jump off the

1046
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: Mark Sanchez train, but I ended the game with an interception.

1047
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:53,399
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to worry about seeing Mark

1048
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,839
Speaker 1: Sanchez in the playoffs. I think this was a devastating

1049
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:59,439
Speaker 1: loss for the Eagles. And what you're saying, Greg about

1050
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboy is showing some resolve in December, like that

1051
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: was a really nice showing by them, where on the

1052
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: road with the home crowd, for the Eagles going nuts,

1053
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 1: they fall behind three points and then for them to

1054
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: put it back together. I think the Cowboys are gonna

1055
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 1: get this playoffs, but they're gonna win the division, and

1056
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,400
Speaker 1: I think the Lions are gonna make the playoffs. So

1057
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:18,960
Speaker 1: we know the Cardinals and I think the Eagles are

1058
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 1: gonna be out. Which is studying. Do we know who

1059
00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: has the tiebreaker edge in the Cowboys versus the Eagles, Well,

1060
00:52:24,719 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: it depends on what happens that Cowboys face. The Cowboys

1061
00:52:27,960 --> 00:52:32,080
Speaker 1: face the Colts and the Redskins. The Eagles face the

1062
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 1: Giants and the Redskins. Right, so you're counting the Eagles out.

1063
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:37,319
Speaker 1: You're saying you think maybe they'll wait from home, but

1064
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: if they win those two games Giants and Redskins, granted

1065
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: both around the road. That gets them to eleven wins.

1066
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 1: That gets them to five and one in the division,

1067
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 1: five and four and two in the now that'd be

1068
00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: five and one divisions, So they win the division. Yeah,

1069
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: I think they I don't think the Eagles are eliminated

1070
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,279
Speaker 1: off of this. Wait, but the cow now they need

1071
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to lose one of these last two games

1072
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: to the right because they're behind. But if they could,

1073
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 1: if they could catch up with the Cowboys, which I

1074
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 1: certainly could see the Cowboys losing either one of those

1075
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: games to the Colts or the Cowboys. Well, okay, I

1076
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 1: respect him so much, let's just hand them the next

1077
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: two weeks. This is the NFL. This in the NFL.

1078
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,839
Speaker 1: They're playing the team that's that's ten and four. But

1079
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:16,919
Speaker 1: we've been waiting for this team to collapse. You even

1080
00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: wrote about it at the mid season point. Now they're

1081
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 1: ten and four and they're getting the job done in December,

1082
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 1: and it's time to give him a little credit. Well,

1083
00:53:26,440 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 1: they were seven and one when we said when I

1084
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: said that, and right now they're ten and four. So

1085
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 1: the three and three they got to play the Colts

1086
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: and then in Washington and team they've already lost to

1087
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, you know, just hand them those two wins.

1088
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 1: I hope Carry Williams doesn't do his usual weekly whatever

1089
00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: comes out of his mouth spewing something tomorrow, because every

1090
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 1: night before he goes to bed, he checks under his

1091
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: bed for Dez Bryant. I'm trying to take Wesleyan serious,

1092
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 1: but I look over at his desk and you have

1093
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 1: a very cute coupcake sitting next to you. You got

1094
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: a cupcake from the news room, and it's skew it's

1095
00:53:55,719 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 1: it looks so it kind of goes against the what

1096
00:53:57,560 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: I would think of Wesleyan in terms of I would

1097
00:53:59,800 --> 00:54:02,280
Speaker 1: have been, did West eating a live crab or something?

1098
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,520
Speaker 1: You know, like I can't really imagine West like on

1099
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 1: a Sunday morning in line at crumbs, waiting to chrome.

1100
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: It's like a cupcake. Well, we don't spend Sunday mornings

1101
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 1: with West South, you know, before he comes here, so

1102
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: we don't know where he's at or what what's he's

1103
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: desert like delicacies that I don't generally cupcakes, but they

1104
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:24,439
Speaker 1: were freely available in the news room. I thought i'd picked.

1105
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 1: It's a jarring image. No one's judging you, but yes,

1106
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: jarring image. So yeah, so that any any other big

1107
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: takeaways from this game general? Well, when you said, you know,

1108
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: you don't think you'll have to worry about Sanchez in

1109
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 1: the playoffs, I thought you were going to say because

1110
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: he's not gonna be starting next week, because that's totally

1111
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 1: up to up in the air. Right now. People were

1112
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: saying this might be the last game that Falls is inactive.

1113
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,640
Speaker 1: He's been been increasing his practice reps and all that

1114
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,600
Speaker 1: he's looking a little better. It is a really interesting

1115
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: decision for Chip Kelly. If Falls is healthy enough to play,

1116
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,719
Speaker 1: do you now go back to Nick Foles next week?

1117
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't think you do now. I have I have

1118
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,240
Speaker 1: a hard time saying Folds, even when he was healthy,

1119
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:07,040
Speaker 1: was looking better than Sanchez has been, so I would

1120
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: tend to not want to switch it. But it is

1121
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: a really interesting, weird thing at nine and five because

1122
00:55:12,239 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 1: he's not exactly established. Yeah, I mean, how it's very

1123
00:55:15,920 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 1: risky to think that there won't be any rust there whatsoever. Alright,

1124
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:23,960
Speaker 1: So that is Sunday of week fifteen. Um, we hope

1125
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: you enjoyed our podcast tonight. We will be back on Wednesday,

1126
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: where we'll just you know, get into it. Mix it up, news, analysis, mirth,

1127
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Uh. And that's it. This is Dan

1128
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: Hansis signing off for a quiet storm, the Mailman, the

1129
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: Boss and t D behind the glass until Wednesday. It's

1130
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,280
Speaker 1: funny that pirates were always going around searching for treasure,

1131
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 1: and they never realized that the real treasure was the

1132
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:59,439
Speaker 1: fond memories they were creating. It's always like that one

1133
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 1: the crows seem to be calling my name, thought car

1134
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:10,800
Speaker 1: Jack handy. Jack Handy was great. H
