You 13 00:00:52,348 --> 00:00:54,908 Speaker 1: can see Josh Allen's breath coming out of his mouth. 14 00:00:55,028 --> 00:00:57,268 Speaker 1: Is cold day in Chicago. But Seamick Tournament tol Us 15 00:00:57,348 --> 00:00:59,508 Speaker 1: last week. You just live in it. You play in it, Parksident, 16 00:00:59,548 --> 00:01:01,508 Speaker 1: You'll be fine. Bill's win. They beat the Bears. What 17 00:01:01,588 --> 00:01:03,908 Speaker 1: do we make of this game? Who gets to go first? Jason? 18 00:01:03,948 --> 00:01:06,308 Speaker 1: I'll start it off. The Buffalo Bills are so good 19 00:01:06,348 --> 00:01:08,748 Speaker 1: when they're on it just looks like the only team 20 00:01:08,788 --> 00:01:12,628 Speaker 1: that can possibly beat the Buffalo Bills are the Buffalo Bills. 21 00:01:12,708 --> 00:01:14,708 Speaker 1: And they did that a little bit yesterday. Yes, they 22 00:01:14,708 --> 00:01:16,748 Speaker 1: got to win. They beat up on the Bears. They 23 00:01:16,748 --> 00:01:19,468 Speaker 1: had twenty first downs to their eleven four hundred and 24 00:01:19,468 --> 00:01:22,148 Speaker 1: twenty six yards for Buffalo compared to two o nine 25 00:01:22,228 --> 00:01:25,668 Speaker 1: by Chicago. But the turnovers. Josh Allen threw that one 26 00:01:25,748 --> 00:01:29,228 Speaker 1: up into double coverage. There's nobody open, and the Bears 27 00:01:29,228 --> 00:01:31,628 Speaker 1: are able to come away with the turnover. Kyle mitchind 28 00:01:31,668 --> 00:01:33,828 Speaker 1: in the highlights. They were down early in this game, 29 00:01:34,028 --> 00:01:36,108 Speaker 1: and they just find a way to continue to give 30 00:01:36,148 --> 00:01:38,828 Speaker 1: teams the opportunity gave Davis here making a catch over 31 00:01:38,868 --> 00:01:41,508 Speaker 1: the middle, some punches the ball out, Bears get the 32 00:01:41,548 --> 00:01:43,868 Speaker 1: ball back there, back in business, and then Josh Allen's 33 00:01:43,948 --> 00:01:47,668 Speaker 1: last interception, nobody opened. It's just you take it. This 34 00:01:47,708 --> 00:01:50,308 Speaker 1: team is so good when they're playing. You watch them. 35 00:01:50,668 --> 00:01:53,268 Speaker 1: Love to watch Josh Allen. He's running over people, he's 36 00:01:53,348 --> 00:01:56,788 Speaker 1: jumping over people. Defensively, they create takeaways. They shut the 37 00:01:56,868 --> 00:01:59,628 Speaker 1: rundown this week after giving up a ton versus Miami. 38 00:01:59,788 --> 00:02:03,108 Speaker 1: Raheemos starting the crew. So this Buffalo team, they can 39 00:02:03,188 --> 00:02:05,228 Speaker 1: their super Bowl bound if they can take care of 40 00:02:05,228 --> 00:02:08,388 Speaker 1: the football and they don't beat themselves to fund to watch. 41 00:02:08,428 --> 00:02:11,108 Speaker 1: But they have to limit the turnovers. Josh Allen is 42 00:02:11,148 --> 00:02:13,148 Speaker 1: so good it's almost a gift in the curse because 43 00:02:13,148 --> 00:02:15,748 Speaker 1: he can do so many great things and you rely 44 00:02:15,908 --> 00:02:18,148 Speaker 1: on him so much that there's gonna be those mistakes. 45 00:02:18,148 --> 00:02:20,548 Speaker 1: There's gonna be those mishaps. But if Buffalo can take 46 00:02:20,548 --> 00:02:22,228 Speaker 1: care of the ball and do the right things, they're 47 00:02:22,228 --> 00:02:23,828 Speaker 1: gonna be in the super Bowl. Especially when you go 48 00:02:23,868 --> 00:02:26,788 Speaker 1: to Chicago and it's zero and you just get out 49 00:02:26,788 --> 00:02:29,628 Speaker 1: of town with a win. Run the ball. It hurts 50 00:02:29,628 --> 00:02:31,988 Speaker 1: to pass, block and the cold, it hurts to catch 51 00:02:31,988 --> 00:02:33,988 Speaker 1: it right in the numbers, it hurts. Run the ball, 52 00:02:34,188 --> 00:02:36,428 Speaker 1: hand it off, and that's what they did. Devin Singletary 53 00:02:36,468 --> 00:02:40,028 Speaker 1: look great, James Cook look great. Crime fighting duos. This 54 00:02:40,068 --> 00:02:42,188 Speaker 1: is kind of where I went because you know you've 55 00:02:42,228 --> 00:02:46,108 Speaker 1: got Fox, Molder and Scully, got Holmes and Watson. Devin 56 00:02:46,188 --> 00:02:49,948 Speaker 1: Singletary's nickname is Motor Right, Motor and Himbo. That's my 57 00:02:49,988 --> 00:02:52,108 Speaker 1: new thing coming out of Buffalo's Motor. It sounds like 58 00:02:52,148 --> 00:02:54,908 Speaker 1: a great show that you'd watch on CBS on Thursday nights, 59 00:02:55,428 --> 00:02:58,308 Speaker 1: Motor and Himbo come in your Way primetime for the 60 00:02:58,308 --> 00:03:00,828 Speaker 1: rest of January and maybe into February. We'll see if 61 00:03:00,868 --> 00:03:02,708 Speaker 1: it's a must watch television. I love. I think I 62 00:03:02,708 --> 00:03:05,028 Speaker 1: got Jim NaN's doing the promo for a up tonight 63 00:03:05,268 --> 00:03:08,668 Speaker 1: eight Eastern seven Mountain Motor and Himbo, the crime fighting 64 00:03:08,708 --> 00:03:14,308 Speaker 1: duo in the cold with their parkas as Franklin back 65 00:03:17,228 --> 00:03:19,468 Speaker 1: the Bills season, like if they win the Super Bowl, 66 00:03:19,468 --> 00:03:21,028 Speaker 1: we're gonna do the America's Game and the whole thing. 67 00:03:21,068 --> 00:03:24,148 Speaker 1: And like, I think they played two opponents this year. 68 00:03:24,188 --> 00:03:27,348 Speaker 1: They played the NFL, which is thirty one teams, and 69 00:03:27,388 --> 00:03:30,108 Speaker 1: then they played the Elements. This is like a major, 70 00:03:30,148 --> 00:03:32,588 Speaker 1: major story. This was a this is an SLB to 71 00:03:32,628 --> 00:03:34,508 Speaker 1: get home, I'll tell you this was. This is what 72 00:03:34,548 --> 00:03:37,748 Speaker 1: they came home to yesterday on sund Christmas. Like every 73 00:03:37,788 --> 00:03:40,348 Speaker 1: other team has the game on Saturday, goes home and 74 00:03:40,548 --> 00:03:42,868 Speaker 1: they figure it out. This is what they walked into. 75 00:03:42,988 --> 00:03:45,068 Speaker 1: And you know, I texted a member of the Bill's 76 00:03:45,108 --> 00:03:47,908 Speaker 1: front office and he says, Oh, it's funny and it's 77 00:03:47,948 --> 00:03:50,548 Speaker 1: great and the videos are great, but like it's a 78 00:03:50,548 --> 00:03:53,828 Speaker 1: lot like they had to stay. The Buffalo airport was closed, 79 00:03:53,868 --> 00:03:57,108 Speaker 1: so they had to stay in Chicago, and woe is 80 00:03:57,188 --> 00:04:00,108 Speaker 1: me that, you know, poor poor guys, professional athletes. They 81 00:04:00,108 --> 00:04:02,108 Speaker 1: had to stay in Chicago. But they were supposed to 82 00:04:02,148 --> 00:04:04,108 Speaker 1: fly back home for the holidays. They didn't. They get 83 00:04:04,108 --> 00:04:05,908 Speaker 1: back kind of dig their cars out. What was that 84 00:04:05,948 --> 00:04:07,508 Speaker 1: glacier on the back was in the back of the car. 85 00:04:07,548 --> 00:04:09,828 Speaker 1: They were buried in in the snow. All their cars 86 00:04:09,828 --> 00:04:11,508 Speaker 1: are buried in, so they had to they had to 87 00:04:11,548 --> 00:04:13,828 Speaker 1: bury out of it themselves. I've never seen something that 88 00:04:13,908 --> 00:04:15,748 Speaker 1: large on the back of the car. That was crazy. 89 00:04:16,668 --> 00:04:18,188 Speaker 1: And it's one thing to be like, well, look they 90 00:04:18,188 --> 00:04:20,388 Speaker 1: had crazy weather and it's Buffalo and it's look at 91 00:04:20,428 --> 00:04:24,388 Speaker 1: the Mafia and they're breathing fire and there's a lot, 92 00:04:24,628 --> 00:04:26,548 Speaker 1: Like it's a lot. They missed a home game, they 93 00:04:26,548 --> 00:04:28,028 Speaker 1: had to go and play it in Detroit. They had 94 00:04:28,028 --> 00:04:30,588 Speaker 1: to fly back. Then they had to come back to Detroit. 95 00:04:30,708 --> 00:04:32,948 Speaker 1: Then this happens, like even the Saturday night game. You know, 96 00:04:32,948 --> 00:04:35,388 Speaker 1: you're in the snow. There there's snowballs being thrown onto 97 00:04:35,428 --> 00:04:37,068 Speaker 1: the field and everyone's like, well, it's a ice, is 98 00:04:37,068 --> 00:04:39,988 Speaker 1: it snow? It's just a lot, And like the Bills 99 00:04:40,028 --> 00:04:43,228 Speaker 1: are winning throughout it. They don't lose, they win. They 100 00:04:43,228 --> 00:04:45,948 Speaker 1: went on Thanksgiving against Detroit, they won yesterday, and I 101 00:04:45,988 --> 00:04:47,988 Speaker 1: don't know. They had this Monday night game against the Bengals. 102 00:04:47,988 --> 00:04:49,508 Speaker 1: The Bengals had flight issues of their own. They had 103 00:04:49,548 --> 00:04:54,068 Speaker 1: to detour in JFK before fly back to Cincinnati. But like, 104 00:04:54,108 --> 00:04:55,748 Speaker 1: I don't know, I feel like Buffalo is fighting mother 105 00:04:55,868 --> 00:04:57,748 Speaker 1: nature and they're fighting thirty one teams. It's a lot 106 00:04:57,748 --> 00:05:00,068 Speaker 1: this season and they've already won that fight. They had 107 00:05:00,108 --> 00:05:02,228 Speaker 1: the chapter of their season. They're like, man, remember all 108 00:05:02,228 --> 00:05:04,188 Speaker 1: that weather was messing the stuff we dealt with that, 109 00:05:04,668 --> 00:05:07,108 Speaker 1: enough of this you come back again with it. They 110 00:05:07,148 --> 00:05:09,508 Speaker 1: won three road games in eleven days back when they 111 00:05:09,508 --> 00:05:12,908 Speaker 1: were sad. And also like, so to your point about 112 00:05:13,108 --> 00:05:14,748 Speaker 1: wow wow wow, Crime River, you had to stay the 113 00:05:14,748 --> 00:05:17,428 Speaker 1: New Chicago. I understand they missed Christmas morning at home. 114 00:05:17,508 --> 00:05:19,548 Speaker 1: Thanks So imagine you got kids who are coming down 115 00:05:19,588 --> 00:05:22,148 Speaker 1: the stairs, like Sean McDermott, you were not there at 116 00:05:22,148 --> 00:05:24,188 Speaker 1: home with your children on Christmas morning, and you thought 117 00:05:24,228 --> 00:05:25,428 Speaker 1: you were going to be. You had a whole plan 118 00:05:25,548 --> 00:05:27,628 Speaker 1: with your wife and your family will get back late 119 00:05:27,708 --> 00:05:30,548 Speaker 1: and you know, presidents and everything. No, they're at a Hilton. 120 00:05:30,588 --> 00:05:32,868 Speaker 1: They're something in Chicago and they come back satured. That 121 00:05:32,988 --> 00:05:34,948 Speaker 1: is a massive deal for a family. I'm triggered by 122 00:05:34,948 --> 00:05:36,748 Speaker 1: that as a family man myself. I'm sure you guys 123 00:05:36,788 --> 00:05:40,468 Speaker 1: all are like that. That's a huge shift. Psychologically the football, 124 00:05:40,508 --> 00:05:42,348 Speaker 1: I don't think there's much to it. They're significantly better 125 00:05:42,388 --> 00:05:44,708 Speaker 1: than the Bears. It's a massive showdown next week, and 126 00:05:45,028 --> 00:05:47,468 Speaker 1: the one seed hangs in the balance. The running game 127 00:05:47,548 --> 00:05:49,628 Speaker 1: is really good. Josh Allen is really good. He throws 128 00:05:49,668 --> 00:05:51,348 Speaker 1: a couple interceptions here and there, and maybe that one 129 00:05:51,388 --> 00:05:54,188 Speaker 1: put that's like a philosophical on So they if they 130 00:05:54,228 --> 00:05:56,628 Speaker 1: lose to Cincinnati, they might have to go into Kansas City. 131 00:05:56,708 --> 00:05:59,948 Speaker 1: Does all this travel woves and all this road warrior stuff? 132 00:05:59,948 --> 00:06:02,228 Speaker 1: Does that stuff maybe make it tougher for that game 133 00:06:02,268 --> 00:06:04,068 Speaker 1: in Kansas City? Where you're like, all right, we've been 134 00:06:04,468 --> 00:06:06,668 Speaker 1: lot Laurier were down. Yeah, what do you think? Jay? 135 00:06:06,908 --> 00:06:08,828 Speaker 1: You know you're going you play the game. I'm a 136 00:06:08,868 --> 00:06:11,708 Speaker 1: firm believer in you talk about it for years, it's like, well, 137 00:06:11,788 --> 00:06:14,708 Speaker 1: one team has the playoff experience, or they've been on 138 00:06:14,748 --> 00:06:16,988 Speaker 1: the role, they've had to fight through things. No for 139 00:06:17,148 --> 00:06:20,308 Speaker 1: one game on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon or evening. 140 00:06:20,588 --> 00:06:22,348 Speaker 1: You have to go in there. You have to execute 141 00:06:22,388 --> 00:06:24,828 Speaker 1: better than that. Buffalo can rely on the fact that, hey, 142 00:06:24,868 --> 00:06:27,148 Speaker 1: we've done this, We've gone to Kansas City, we've won 143 00:06:27,228 --> 00:06:29,108 Speaker 1: games there, so we know we can do it. So 144 00:06:29,148 --> 00:06:31,588 Speaker 1: it builds a confidence in But where we've had to 145 00:06:31,628 --> 00:06:34,708 Speaker 1: travel throughout the season, the different adversities we've had to 146 00:06:34,708 --> 00:06:36,748 Speaker 1: go through, we had to dig our car out. Nobody 147 00:06:36,748 --> 00:06:39,468 Speaker 1: cares if we're in ANFC championship game in Kansas City. 148 00:06:39,508 --> 00:06:42,708 Speaker 1: We don't care your travel issues that you had or 149 00:06:42,748 --> 00:06:44,748 Speaker 1: any of those things. You go out there, you execute 150 00:06:44,748 --> 00:06:47,188 Speaker 1: better than the team on any given day, and you're 151 00:06:47,228 --> 00:06:49,508 Speaker 1: going to win that game. In Buffalo a Sean, they've 152 00:06:49,508 --> 00:06:51,228 Speaker 1: done that before in Kansas City. This is gonna come 153 00:06:51,268 --> 00:06:52,988 Speaker 1: up a lot in the coming weeks. Patrick Mahomes has 154 00:06:53,028 --> 00:06:55,388 Speaker 1: never played a playoff game outside of the Arrowhead Stadium 155 00:06:55,388 --> 00:06:57,548 Speaker 1: except for two Super Bowls. He's never done one. You've 156 00:06:57,588 --> 00:07:01,548 Speaker 1: never gone to Cincinnati or New England. It's it's always 157 00:07:01,628 --> 00:07:05,908 Speaker 1: been the Detroit Lions taking all the Carolina Panthers. Dan 158 00:07:06,028 --> 00:07:08,868 Speaker 1: Campbell trying to get his guys in six and one 159 00:07:08,948 --> 00:07:13,268 Speaker 1: in their last seven games. Panthers run all over to live. 160 00:07:13,588 --> 00:07:17,668 Speaker 1: When thirty seven to twenty three Commanders and the forty 161 00:07:17,748 --> 00:07:20,068 Speaker 1: nine Ers out at San Francisco, Kyle Shanahan has some 162 00:07:20,108 --> 00:07:24,028 Speaker 1: feelings towards that commander's franchise. Now you have a quarterback controversy, 163 00:07:24,268 --> 00:07:28,508 Speaker 1: Carson forty nine Ers, Commanders still very much alive in 164 00:07:28,548 --> 00:07:31,308 Speaker 1: the playoff hun Giants Vikings. Can the Vikings really do 165 00:07:31,348 --> 00:07:34,108 Speaker 1: this again? At home? Last weekend was very thrilling if 166 00:07:34,188 --> 00:07:36,468 Speaker 1: you can give Greg Joseph a chance. It feels like 167 00:07:36,508 --> 00:07:39,748 Speaker 1: anywhere on the field, sixty one yard shirt down the pipe. 168 00:07:39,908 --> 00:07:43,028 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson said, I want everybody wearing white. It looks 169 00:07:43,068 --> 00:07:46,668 Speaker 1: great in the stands. Vikings weren't all white. Greg Joseph 170 00:07:46,788 --> 00:07:49,948 Speaker 1: maybe he is himbo too. Vikings walk off. They are 171 00:07:49,988 --> 00:07:54,588 Speaker 1: now eleven and oh in one possession games this season. Seriously, 172 00:07:55,148 --> 00:07:58,388 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins was so happy that Santa Claus delivered him 173 00:07:58,388 --> 00:08:00,508 Speaker 1: Greg Joseph a couple of seasons ago. Here's what the 174 00:08:00,548 --> 00:08:02,668 Speaker 1: quarterback had to say after a close window. Oh, it 175 00:08:02,828 --> 00:08:05,508 Speaker 1: was another team win. And when you look at how 176 00:08:05,548 --> 00:08:07,948 Speaker 1: close that game was and you see the plays made 177 00:08:07,948 --> 00:08:10,308 Speaker 1: better defense, the turnovers they created, the block punt by 178 00:08:10,348 --> 00:08:12,628 Speaker 1: our special teams. You know, sixty plus yard field goal. 179 00:08:12,788 --> 00:08:14,708 Speaker 1: You know, you see how it really takes all three 180 00:08:14,748 --> 00:08:16,708 Speaker 1: phases making plays for us to be able to win. 181 00:08:16,788 --> 00:08:19,508 Speaker 1: And wouldn't have it any other way. It was a 182 00:08:19,588 --> 00:08:21,748 Speaker 1: very tame Christmas sweater he had on for the weekend. 183 00:08:21,788 --> 00:08:23,908 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. I think he bought that with Cole's cash. 184 00:08:24,028 --> 00:08:26,948 Speaker 1: You may have. They have very valuable. The Vikings win 185 00:08:26,988 --> 00:08:29,628 Speaker 1: another nail viter against the Giants, who needed a win 186 00:08:29,708 --> 00:08:32,108 Speaker 1: in the playoff picture in the NFC as well, but 187 00:08:32,148 --> 00:08:34,268 Speaker 1: the Vikings pulled one off. Jason one, just what stood 188 00:08:34,308 --> 00:08:36,868 Speaker 1: up to you? All the Vikings like destined to the 189 00:08:36,908 --> 00:08:40,348 Speaker 1: Super Bowl? You said, eleven and ol on one score 190 00:08:40,428 --> 00:08:44,828 Speaker 1: games some statman, my goodness, heard of one possession somehow 191 00:08:44,908 --> 00:08:48,188 Speaker 1: or another. Weekend and week out, the Vikings find a 192 00:08:48,268 --> 00:08:50,268 Speaker 1: way to win games. And we talk about all they're 193 00:08:50,308 --> 00:08:52,148 Speaker 1: the worst when they have ten wins and the worst 194 00:08:52,148 --> 00:08:54,108 Speaker 1: ten and old team and the ten and whatever team 195 00:08:54,268 --> 00:08:57,308 Speaker 1: in NFL history. But here they are late in the game, 196 00:08:57,508 --> 00:08:59,468 Speaker 1: and before this, he converts a third and nine to 197 00:08:59,588 --> 00:09:02,708 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. Then he sacked and then he comes right 198 00:09:02,708 --> 00:09:05,988 Speaker 1: back and they throw a screen passed that far out 199 00:09:06,028 --> 00:09:08,388 Speaker 1: of field goal rungs. They throw a screen passer justin 200 00:09:08,468 --> 00:09:11,108 Speaker 1: Jefferson and he's able to pick up enough yards to 201 00:09:11,148 --> 00:09:13,548 Speaker 1: get in too close enough for Joseph to kick this 202 00:09:13,628 --> 00:09:17,588 Speaker 1: field goal through the uprights. This Minnesota Vikings team to 203 00:09:17,588 --> 00:09:19,748 Speaker 1: win a Super Bowl sometimes, obviously you have to have 204 00:09:19,748 --> 00:09:21,788 Speaker 1: a good football team, but you need the ball to 205 00:09:21,828 --> 00:09:23,548 Speaker 1: bounce the right way. You need a little bit of 206 00:09:23,628 --> 00:09:25,708 Speaker 1: luck on your side. And when you come back from 207 00:09:25,748 --> 00:09:28,188 Speaker 1: thirty three and a half, when you beat Buffalo on 208 00:09:28,348 --> 00:09:30,948 Speaker 1: overtime and a tough one that they did down there 209 00:09:30,988 --> 00:09:34,468 Speaker 1: in Western New York, This Vikings team, there's something special 210 00:09:34,548 --> 00:09:37,068 Speaker 1: about them. And we can pick fun and poke holes 211 00:09:37,108 --> 00:09:39,508 Speaker 1: all throughout their team, but there's some special about this team. 212 00:09:39,588 --> 00:09:41,668 Speaker 1: How they keep coming up with wins in one score games. Well, 213 00:09:41,668 --> 00:09:43,988 Speaker 1: they finally answer the question are they just a team 214 00:09:44,028 --> 00:09:45,708 Speaker 1: of flukes or are they a team of destiny? The 215 00:09:45,748 --> 00:09:49,748 Speaker 1: answer is yes' because because there's a big argument saying 216 00:09:49,828 --> 00:09:52,508 Speaker 1: is smoking mirrors? Yeah, Well the defense is not good, 217 00:09:53,548 --> 00:09:55,628 Speaker 1: that's the point. At what point is it not? So? 218 00:09:55,668 --> 00:09:57,228 Speaker 1: At this point do they have to win a Super 219 00:09:57,268 --> 00:09:59,388 Speaker 1: Bowl for to not be smoking mirrors? The question if 220 00:09:59,388 --> 00:10:01,948 Speaker 1: you're if you're looking at eight and three. Oh yeah, 221 00:10:02,028 --> 00:10:04,308 Speaker 1: smoking mirrors a good luck. Twelve and three is twelve 222 00:10:04,508 --> 00:10:07,948 Speaker 1: three amazing. This is post Christmas, and it's like everyone's 223 00:10:08,108 --> 00:10:10,348 Speaker 1: seems to be mad that they win these games and 224 00:10:10,388 --> 00:10:13,068 Speaker 1: these really clutch fashions. And you know, I think Peter 225 00:10:13,148 --> 00:10:15,388 Speaker 1: had a good point last week. He's like, can you 226 00:10:15,428 --> 00:10:18,508 Speaker 1: just win the game like thirty to thirteen, Like just 227 00:10:18,508 --> 00:10:20,188 Speaker 1: give me a win that you don't have to win 228 00:10:20,228 --> 00:10:22,228 Speaker 1: forty five to nothing, but like win my two scores. 229 00:10:22,228 --> 00:10:24,468 Speaker 1: I don't think that's too much to ask. And the answers, no, 230 00:10:24,548 --> 00:10:26,668 Speaker 1: they can't do it. They can't, but they also can't lose. 231 00:10:27,068 --> 00:10:29,068 Speaker 1: So if we're going to be the show of record 232 00:10:29,108 --> 00:10:31,548 Speaker 1: that says just Stack wins and it's his tough league 233 00:10:31,548 --> 00:10:34,268 Speaker 1: and all the teams compete and just win, they win 234 00:10:34,388 --> 00:10:36,508 Speaker 1: every week and they got a couple of losses. Sure, 235 00:10:36,668 --> 00:10:39,228 Speaker 1: But like I am a believer, and I'll say this again, 236 00:10:39,268 --> 00:10:41,108 Speaker 1: I know I'm in the minority. I posted as just 237 00:10:41,148 --> 00:10:43,788 Speaker 1: a board Twitter poll last week how many playoff games 238 00:10:43,788 --> 00:10:46,748 Speaker 1: the Vikings win zero, one or more than one, and 239 00:10:46,908 --> 00:10:49,348 Speaker 1: like fifty two percent to say zero, they'll be one 240 00:10:49,388 --> 00:10:51,508 Speaker 1: and done. So in other words, you the voter, think 241 00:10:51,508 --> 00:10:53,348 Speaker 1: that they're gonna get in the wild Card and they're 242 00:10:53,348 --> 00:10:56,748 Speaker 1: gonna lose to somebody like Dallas or one of these teams, 243 00:10:56,868 --> 00:10:59,748 Speaker 1: the Packers or the Lions, or the Panthers or the Buccaneers. 244 00:10:59,828 --> 00:11:01,668 Speaker 1: That's what you think. That's what you see. I see 245 00:11:01,668 --> 00:11:03,668 Speaker 1: twelve and three, and I can't possibly slight them for 246 00:11:03,708 --> 00:11:05,108 Speaker 1: the way that they're doing because the way they're doing 247 00:11:05,148 --> 00:11:06,868 Speaker 1: is not dominant. But I think it might be even better. 248 00:11:07,028 --> 00:11:09,308 Speaker 1: It's clutch as hell. I team to go. I tend 249 00:11:09,308 --> 00:11:10,948 Speaker 1: to go more at twelve and three. They have it. 250 00:11:11,028 --> 00:11:13,548 Speaker 1: I think they have it Giants. Last week, I came 251 00:11:13,588 --> 00:11:15,668 Speaker 1: here after the Bills beat the Dolphins, and I was like, well, 252 00:11:15,708 --> 00:11:17,308 Speaker 1: that's a moral victory. Dolphins showed us they can go 253 00:11:17,348 --> 00:11:20,188 Speaker 1: into the like. Giants should have won this game. Giants 254 00:11:20,228 --> 00:11:21,868 Speaker 1: had this game, or at LEAs should have gone on 255 00:11:21,868 --> 00:11:24,708 Speaker 1: into overtime. Here's what we love, Wink Martindale and we 256 00:11:24,788 --> 00:11:26,908 Speaker 1: live and die with the Blitz. With Wink Martindale. I 257 00:11:26,988 --> 00:11:30,268 Speaker 1: almost feel as good about the Giants after this loss 258 00:11:30,308 --> 00:11:33,428 Speaker 1: than I do with the Vikings. I know you didn't 259 00:11:33,468 --> 00:11:35,708 Speaker 1: age well from Miami. It didn't age well for MIAMIM 260 00:11:35,708 --> 00:11:39,028 Speaker 1: doing it right, arrogant like Giants. They were they were done. 261 00:11:39,068 --> 00:11:40,588 Speaker 1: They came out there looking like they were gonna lose 262 00:11:40,628 --> 00:11:42,228 Speaker 1: my twenty four points in the first half, and they 263 00:11:42,308 --> 00:11:45,828 Speaker 1: fought and they clawed, and They've got Bellinger, Richie James 264 00:11:45,868 --> 00:11:50,388 Speaker 1: and Isaac and Hudgens and they're like, are these guys 265 00:11:50,948 --> 00:11:53,268 Speaker 1: and they just find a way to hang and hang 266 00:11:53,308 --> 00:11:56,428 Speaker 1: and hang on the road in Minnesota. Giants right now 267 00:11:56,468 --> 00:11:58,748 Speaker 1: are in the playoffs and if they went on Sunday 268 00:11:58,748 --> 00:12:01,708 Speaker 1: against the Colts, they are a wild card team. And 269 00:12:01,748 --> 00:12:03,868 Speaker 1: I am taken this away as Vikings. Great win, that's 270 00:12:03,868 --> 00:12:05,588 Speaker 1: what they do. They're eleven and one one score games, 271 00:12:05,588 --> 00:12:07,508 Speaker 1: which is an unheard of stat. But the Giants in 272 00:12:07,588 --> 00:12:09,508 Speaker 1: a loss showed me a lot and I think they're 273 00:12:09,508 --> 00:12:10,868 Speaker 1: going to take care of business. I hope. I'm not 274 00:12:10,948 --> 00:12:12,908 Speaker 1: chancing them against the Colts this weekend, and I would 275 00:12:12,948 --> 00:12:14,348 Speaker 1: not want to face that team in the playoffs. They 276 00:12:14,388 --> 00:12:17,388 Speaker 1: fight in every single week in a wildly important possession. 277 00:12:17,748 --> 00:12:20,508 Speaker 1: The Giants and Wake Martindal send the house at Kirk 278 00:12:20,508 --> 00:12:22,508 Speaker 1: Cousins as what does he do. He goes to Justine 279 00:12:22,548 --> 00:12:27,028 Speaker 1: Jefferson because he is the most valuable player on that team. 280 00:12:27,068 --> 00:12:29,668 Speaker 1: I think he is in the conversation for being the 281 00:12:29,668 --> 00:12:32,628 Speaker 1: most valuable player in the NFL, and I know Cooper 282 00:12:32,668 --> 00:12:36,068 Speaker 1: cop Last year there were major campaigns for getting the 283 00:12:36,108 --> 00:12:40,148 Speaker 1: trifecta for a wide receiver. Doesn't receive a vote. That's blasphemy. 284 00:12:40,388 --> 00:12:45,028 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is one hundred and forty nine catches off 285 00:12:45,108 --> 00:12:47,948 Speaker 1: of breaking Michael Thomas's single season record, which were setting 286 00:12:47,948 --> 00:12:50,788 Speaker 1: two Excuse me, yeah, he had one hundred forty nine. 287 00:12:50,868 --> 00:12:52,868 Speaker 1: He has twenty six catches away from him. He's got 288 00:12:52,948 --> 00:12:55,188 Speaker 1: two left, He's got two games left to go. He 289 00:12:55,308 --> 00:12:58,388 Speaker 1: is two hundred and eight receiving yards away from breaking 290 00:12:58,428 --> 00:13:01,308 Speaker 1: Calvin Johnson's That, to me, is the chapter that you 291 00:13:01,348 --> 00:13:03,228 Speaker 1: have to get past. That, to me, is the one 292 00:13:03,268 --> 00:13:05,428 Speaker 1: that this whole three seasons played the most of the 293 00:13:05,508 --> 00:13:08,228 Speaker 1: word ignore that. That, to me, is actually a distracting 294 00:13:08,268 --> 00:13:10,588 Speaker 1: way to look at it, because you're not valuing what 295 00:13:10,628 --> 00:13:12,948 Speaker 1: he's doing this season. You have to look at twenty 296 00:13:13,068 --> 00:13:15,348 Speaker 1: twenty two and the value that he has put in 297 00:13:15,388 --> 00:13:18,748 Speaker 1: the wins for the Vikings twelve wins. Patrick Mahomes is 298 00:13:18,788 --> 00:13:22,228 Speaker 1: really good. Justin Jefferson is the most valuable player in 299 00:13:22,268 --> 00:13:25,068 Speaker 1: the league because of how he affects the games that 300 00:13:25,228 --> 00:13:27,708 Speaker 1: his team is in eleven and oh in one possession 301 00:13:27,748 --> 00:13:30,748 Speaker 1: games on third down against a team that is desperate 302 00:13:30,748 --> 00:13:32,588 Speaker 1: to get into the playoffs, who does he go to? 303 00:13:32,668 --> 00:13:35,188 Speaker 1: Who does his quarterback find? Justin Jefferson, he has to 304 00:13:35,268 --> 00:13:37,188 Speaker 1: break that record, and if he breaks both, I think 305 00:13:37,228 --> 00:13:39,508 Speaker 1: twenty six catches over the next two games is a challenge. 306 00:13:39,748 --> 00:13:41,668 Speaker 1: I don't think him finding two hundred and eight yards 307 00:13:41,668 --> 00:13:43,428 Speaker 1: over the next two week is it a challenge. If 308 00:13:43,508 --> 00:13:46,708 Speaker 1: he breaks both of those records, seriously, win it gets 309 00:13:47,268 --> 00:13:50,308 Speaker 1: get a vote. I don't care for Vikings records. There's 310 00:13:50,308 --> 00:13:55,268 Speaker 1: a lot of been made. Respect so that full screen 311 00:13:55,308 --> 00:13:57,508 Speaker 1: of like he broke the Vikings record, I don't care. Yeah, 312 00:13:57,548 --> 00:14:00,908 Speaker 1: he broke the NFL record and catches and receiving him Now. 313 00:14:00,948 --> 00:14:02,668 Speaker 1: I made a call to arms earlier in the show 314 00:14:02,708 --> 00:14:05,268 Speaker 1: saying Andrew Whitworth, get off your butt after Thursday and 315 00:14:05,308 --> 00:14:07,428 Speaker 1: go sound make a call to arms. In the NFL 316 00:14:07,508 --> 00:14:09,748 Speaker 1: MVP voters, none of us have a vote.

He is the 324 00:14:28,348 --> 00:14:31,348 Speaker 1: most valuable player on this team. And a play like that, 325 00:14:31,428 --> 00:14:33,668 Speaker 1: I'm so glad Peter drew it up because a team, 326 00:14:33,708 --> 00:14:36,268 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you guys are like laughing at a team 327 00:14:36,268 --> 00:14:39,708 Speaker 1: that relies on him in huge third down. He is valuable. 328 00:14:39,788 --> 00:14:42,308 Speaker 1: He is the most valuable player. I mean, rock the vote. 329 00:14:42,308 --> 00:14:46,508 Speaker 1: Everybody listen to Jamie Rock the vote. Lest a single 330 00:14:47,068 --> 00:14:50,388 Speaker 1: change make history. I think if they got one vote, 331 00:14:49,668 --> 00:14:52,388 Speaker 1: that would player of the Year blah blah blah and 332 00:14:52,508 --> 00:14:54,628 Speaker 1: once first place. Yeah. Okay, so they have to play 333 00:14:54,628 --> 00:14:56,148 Speaker 1: the Packers this weekend. That's gonna be hard. I have 334 00:14:56,188 --> 00:14:58,348 Speaker 1: to go to Lambeaux and get that, especially with the 335 00:14:58,388 --> 00:15:15,948 Speaker 1: streaking Packers team. Okay, smoking maristeam NFC playoff pictures since 336 00:15:15,948 --> 00:15:17,668 Speaker 1: we just clicked into a couple of those teams of 337 00:15:17,748 --> 00:15:20,668 Speaker 1: the highlights over the weekend, waiting to see who in 338 00:15:20,708 --> 00:15:23,388 Speaker 1: the NFC South wants to bubble up Prayer, ride to 339 00:15:23,468 --> 00:15:26,748 Speaker 1: the surface and host a three playoff game. The Cowboys 340 00:15:26,748 --> 00:15:29,708 Speaker 1: are already locked in, and technically things could also change 341 00:15:29,748 --> 00:15:33,148 Speaker 1: up there within the division. Santa delivered a lot of 342 00:15:33,188 --> 00:15:36,028 Speaker 1: great football this weekend, a lot of fun games. Some 343 00:15:36,148 --> 00:15:39,068 Speaker 1: feel a little bit more impactful than others. Which statement 344 00:15:39,148 --> 00:15:42,268 Speaker 1: win brought you the most Holiday cheer in Week sixteen? 345 00:15:42,428 --> 00:15:46,068 Speaker 1: Kyle the Minnesota Vikings. The Minnesota Vikings win. My statement 346 00:15:46,228 --> 00:15:49,708 Speaker 1: is Kirk Cousins is excellent. My statement is it is 347 00:15:49,748 --> 00:15:52,948 Speaker 1: okay to talk about the Vikings and say Kirk Cousins 348 00:15:53,028 --> 00:15:55,748 Speaker 1: is excellent. It's okay. Jamie and the earlier show made 349 00:15:55,748 --> 00:15:58,268 Speaker 1: a compelling case that Justin Jefferson should be considered of MVP, 350 00:15:58,428 --> 00:16:00,908 Speaker 1: and I respect it. Peter King, who I respect and 351 00:16:00,948 --> 00:16:04,868 Speaker 1: read every week, listed ten players that he would vote 352 00:16:04,868 --> 00:16:07,988 Speaker 1: for for MVP. Cousins name nowhere on the list. I 353 00:16:08,028 --> 00:16:09,948 Speaker 1: get very opinionated about Kirk Cousins, so let me just 354 00:16:09,988 --> 00:16:12,108 Speaker 1: stick to the facts. Kirk Cousins in the middle of 355 00:16:12,148 --> 00:16:15,468 Speaker 1: the seasons sitting in an NFL record for fourth quarter comebacks. 356 00:16:15,868 --> 00:16:19,748 Speaker 1: Kirk cousins fourth quarter stats are astronomical. Kirk Cousins has 357 00:16:19,788 --> 00:16:22,668 Speaker 1: fewer interceptions than Josh Allen and Joe Burrow. Kirk Cousins 358 00:16:22,708 --> 00:16:28,868 Speaker 1: defense is woeful statistically. Kirk cousins offensive line is woeful statistically. 359 00:16:29,268 --> 00:16:31,708 Speaker 1: No quarterback in the last twenty plus years is getting 360 00:16:31,788 --> 00:16:34,508 Speaker 1: hit more than Kirk Cousins. Yet, Kirk Cousins is twelve 361 00:16:34,508 --> 00:16:36,868 Speaker 1: and three. His wide receiver is on pace to break 362 00:16:36,948 --> 00:16:41,108 Speaker 1: Megatron's record. Justin Jeffers is an excellent player, so is 363 00:16:41,148 --> 00:16:43,388 Speaker 1: Davanta Adams. The last couple of years, when the MVP 364 00:16:43,548 --> 00:16:45,428 Speaker 1: was handed to Aaron Rodgers like, there's no big deal. 365 00:16:45,628 --> 00:16:48,068 Speaker 1: I am not here for this prejudice against Kirk Cousins 366 00:16:48,148 --> 00:16:50,788 Speaker 1: that has existed, and it is in our systems and 367 00:16:50,828 --> 00:16:53,548 Speaker 1: our blood as football media people, and it comes from 368 00:16:53,548 --> 00:16:56,428 Speaker 1: a lot of things. The corniness of his personality, the 369 00:16:56,548 --> 00:17:00,348 Speaker 1: size of his paychecks years ago, years old, losses that 370 00:17:00,388 --> 00:17:03,228 Speaker 1: he suffered on primetime, even in different organizations and different 371 00:17:03,228 --> 00:17:05,788 Speaker 1: eras different head coach. Just turning Kirk Cousins not with 372 00:17:05,828 --> 00:17:07,948 Speaker 1: fresh eyes on a Sunday mixture. It's in the fourth 373 00:17:07,988 --> 00:17:10,148 Speaker 1: quarter when quarterbacks really show who they are. You will 374 00:17:10,148 --> 00:17:12,588 Speaker 1: not see a quarterback playing better in the entire NFL 375 00:17:12,668 --> 00:17:14,788 Speaker 1: this year in the biggest moments. The stats board out, 376 00:17:14,948 --> 00:17:17,148 Speaker 1: the eye test wears it out, and there's still no 377 00:17:17,228 --> 00:17:19,988 Speaker 1: love for him. I apologize for nothing. Kirk Cousins is excellent. 378 00:17:20,228 --> 00:17:22,348 Speaker 1: I believe in him in the playoffs and I will 379 00:17:22,388 --> 00:17:24,468 Speaker 1: not stop believing him. I wish some other people would start, 380 00:17:24,588 --> 00:17:29,268 Speaker 1: let's go well, say okay, thank you Jamie. What I'm 381 00:17:29,308 --> 00:17:32,308 Speaker 1: not okay is that that take should be everywhere, but 382 00:17:32,348 --> 00:17:34,468 Speaker 1: it's not, and the people either loath to do it, 383 00:17:34,548 --> 00:17:36,388 Speaker 1: or they're not watching, or they're going on the things 384 00:17:36,388 --> 00:17:39,028 Speaker 1: that are apparently drawn more eyeballs. I'm not sinister, I'm 385 00:17:39,028 --> 00:17:40,268 Speaker 1: not a bad guy. I'm really not. I got a 386 00:17:40,268 --> 00:17:42,188 Speaker 1: good heart, trust me, I really heart. But would it 387 00:17:42,268 --> 00:17:44,748 Speaker 1: not be fitting the Packers sneaking to the playoffs as 388 00:17:44,748 --> 00:17:46,748 Speaker 1: a seventh seed and end up beating Kirk Cousins the 389 00:17:46,788 --> 00:17:49,468 Speaker 1: two seed in Minnesota and the wildcard round, because that 390 00:17:49,548 --> 00:17:51,508 Speaker 1: might happen, and I gotta beat the first in the 391 00:17:51,548 --> 00:17:54,028 Speaker 1: rigor sees. I know. The Packers to me are the 392 00:17:54,068 --> 00:17:56,868 Speaker 1: team that got the win. And a month ago Green 393 00:17:56,908 --> 00:17:59,828 Speaker 1: Bay Packers left for dead four and eight following a 394 00:17:59,908 --> 00:18:03,788 Speaker 1: loss to Philadelphia. They come out and since then Aaron 395 00:18:03,908 --> 00:18:08,228 Speaker 1: Rodgers has ripped off three straight victories, including this one, 396 00:18:08,748 --> 00:18:11,308 Speaker 1: and they had the bye week and everything also went 397 00:18:11,428 --> 00:18:14,868 Speaker 1: right for them, over the holiday weekend. You take Sunday's 398 00:18:14,868 --> 00:18:18,228 Speaker 1: win and you combine that with a Giant's loss which 399 00:18:18,268 --> 00:18:21,468 Speaker 1: they needed, a Commander's loss which they needed, a Seahawks 400 00:18:21,508 --> 00:18:24,468 Speaker 1: loss which they needed, a Lion's loss which they needed, 401 00:18:24,588 --> 00:18:26,348 Speaker 1: and in a way, they needed the Eagles to lose 402 00:18:26,388 --> 00:18:29,348 Speaker 1: two because now the Cowboys have a reason to play 403 00:18:29,428 --> 00:18:33,708 Speaker 1: the next few weeks. And if the Cowboys beat Washington 404 00:18:34,388 --> 00:18:37,748 Speaker 1: and the Packers win both their games, the Packers are 405 00:18:37,788 --> 00:18:41,748 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Packers are home against Minnesota. Okay, I 406 00:18:41,788 --> 00:18:44,228 Speaker 1: know Minnesota has been unbelievable and blew them out the 407 00:18:44,268 --> 00:18:47,148 Speaker 1: first week of the season. This year, Packers are home 408 00:18:47,188 --> 00:18:50,268 Speaker 1: against Minnesota. We've seen that thing happen. The Packers are 409 00:18:50,268 --> 00:18:52,308 Speaker 1: home against the Lions. They got to win both of those, 410 00:18:52,948 --> 00:18:55,228 Speaker 1: and then they need the Cowboys in Week eight. Team 411 00:18:55,268 --> 00:18:58,548 Speaker 1: to have a flicker of the flicker of something to play, 412 00:18:58,628 --> 00:19:02,388 Speaker 1: so they try. Okay, maybe Cleveland beats Washington. I wouldn't 413 00:19:02,428 --> 00:19:04,388 Speaker 1: bank on it. I think Washington's at home, they're playing 414 00:19:04,428 --> 00:19:07,108 Speaker 1: for everything. Cleveland might might be done. This is where 415 00:19:07,108 --> 00:19:09,268 Speaker 1: we get into the weeds. Peter. This time, you start 416 00:19:09,308 --> 00:19:12,148 Speaker 1: looking at will you have anything to play for? Or 417 00:19:12,188 --> 00:19:15,068 Speaker 1: are they done? That really matters. And you see Dallas, 418 00:19:15,108 --> 00:19:17,228 Speaker 1: you see Philly, and you're like, I can't have the 419 00:19:17,228 --> 00:19:18,908 Speaker 1: backups in that game because I need them to help. 420 00:19:18,908 --> 00:19:21,868 Speaker 1: You need the Dallas speaking in their heads. If things 421 00:19:21,868 --> 00:19:24,108 Speaker 1: all work out, great, we could still win the division, 422 00:19:24,588 --> 00:19:26,468 Speaker 1: or we could get a you know whatever it is. 423 00:19:27,228 --> 00:19:30,108 Speaker 1: Here's what they need. Here's what the Packers need. Packers 424 00:19:30,148 --> 00:19:33,908 Speaker 1: need Hurts to not play. Yeah, okay, men show to 425 00:19:34,028 --> 00:19:43,508 Speaker 1: lose this week, so that Week eighteen matters for Dallas, 426 00:19:39,548 --> 00:19:45,628 Speaker 1: don't matter. The Dallas could still win the NFC East, 427 00:19:45,668 --> 00:19:50,148 Speaker 1: all right. Then you need the Carson Wentz or Taylor 428 00:19:50,228 --> 00:19:54,868 Speaker 1: Heinich Washington Commanders to lose to the Cowboys week eighteen, 429 00:19:55,308 --> 00:19:57,348 Speaker 1: and then you need to win your two things. But 430 00:19:57,468 --> 00:19:59,068 Speaker 1: to me, that was the wind it was. They had 431 00:19:59,108 --> 00:20:01,948 Speaker 1: like a Cornaki We had them on my podcast said 432 00:20:01,948 --> 00:20:04,308 Speaker 1: that the Packers had a seven percent year of making 433 00:20:04,428 --> 00:20:07,388 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Last thing. We'll get the full numbers this week, 434 00:20:07,668 --> 00:20:10,108 Speaker 1: but it's got to be in the twenties. Were the thirties. 435 00:20:10,268 --> 00:20:12,388 Speaker 1: Packers are their answer. Packers had the statement win, they 436 00:20:12,428 --> 00:20:14,948 Speaker 1: came back from ten points down on the road, and 437 00:20:14,988 --> 00:20:16,348 Speaker 1: now they got a flicker of hope. And I'll tell 438 00:20:16,348 --> 00:20:17,988 Speaker 1: you what, if they make the playoffs and they play 439 00:20:18,028 --> 00:20:20,428 Speaker 1: Minnesota in the playoffs in the wild card round, I 440 00:20:20,468 --> 00:20:23,108 Speaker 1: don't care about all your one loss. I'm going about 441 00:20:23,148 --> 00:20:25,348 Speaker 1: a decade of history here and I might be taking 442 00:20:25,348 --> 00:20:29,908 Speaker 1: the Packers in that most wonderful time of the years. 443 00:20:30,628 --> 00:20:33,188 Speaker 1: I've just point it out there, and I'm not anti Minnesota. 444 00:20:33,228 --> 00:20:36,228 Speaker 1: I think Kevin O'Connell's year. I think Kevin O'Connell's the 445 00:20:36,228 --> 00:20:37,668 Speaker 1: coaches that you do, you just slick that take in, 446 00:20:37,708 --> 00:20:39,788 Speaker 1: you do that. Keevin cons coach year. I think Kevin 447 00:20:39,828 --> 00:20:43,108 Speaker 1: o'connells the year. That's great. Take the Packers that they 448 00:20:43,108 --> 00:20:44,948 Speaker 1: have to play each other on the playoffs. Coach of 449 00:20:44,988 --> 00:20:47,468 Speaker 1: the year, it doesn't really win the super Bowl. Matt 450 00:20:47,508 --> 00:20:50,308 Speaker 1: Maggie won Coach of the Year last first round, most 451 00:20:50,348 --> 00:20:54,108 Speaker 1: first round still get the award my brave last year. 452 00:20:55,988 --> 00:20:59,748 Speaker 1: Maybe he shouldn't be at giving it someone else. I'm 453 00:20:59,788 --> 00:21:02,268 Speaker 1: going with a statement. When I'm going to Dallas Cowboys. 454 00:21:02,308 --> 00:21:04,588 Speaker 1: They came off a loss to the Jacksonville jack Wars 455 00:21:04,588 --> 00:21:06,708 Speaker 1: and then going into this week, this game was built 456 00:21:06,788 --> 00:21:09,028 Speaker 1: up so much. But then Jalen Hursts is playing and 457 00:21:09,108 --> 00:21:12,948 Speaker 1: everybody's all over Dak Prescott through two interceptions in Jacksonville, 458 00:21:13,148 --> 00:21:15,908 Speaker 1: the game winning one for Rayshawn Jenkins taking it back 459 00:21:15,948 --> 00:21:17,748 Speaker 1: for six. And then this week it was like, well, 460 00:21:17,788 --> 00:21:19,748 Speaker 1: you can't go out there and lose to the Garden. 461 00:21:19,828 --> 00:21:24,108 Speaker 1: Minshew led Garden Mischew led Philadelphia Eagles, and it wasn't pretty, 462 00:21:24,268 --> 00:21:26,788 Speaker 1: but they didn't lose. And Dak Prescott throws the pick 463 00:21:26,868 --> 00:21:29,828 Speaker 1: six and then he gets on a role play fantastic. 464 00:21:29,908 --> 00:21:33,108 Speaker 1: The defense comes away with four turnovers in that game. 465 00:21:33,308 --> 00:21:35,388 Speaker 1: So for the Dallas Cowboys, they had to shut up 466 00:21:35,428 --> 00:21:37,388 Speaker 1: the haters a little bit this week. Go out there 467 00:21:37,588 --> 00:21:39,948 Speaker 1: and get a win against Philly. Doesn't matter how the 468 00:21:40,028 --> 00:21:42,508 Speaker 1: win comes, It doesn't matter who's playing for Philly. They 469 00:21:42,508 --> 00:21:44,588 Speaker 1: don't choose that Jalen Hursts wasn't out there. They were 470 00:21:44,588 --> 00:21:46,708 Speaker 1: still able to get the victory. On top of that 471 00:21:46,828 --> 00:21:49,388 Speaker 1: Gardener Misch who played this buttle three hundred and fifty 472 00:21:49,428 --> 00:21:52,588 Speaker 1: five yards and two touchdowns. But still Dallas comes away 473 00:21:52,668 --> 00:21:55,468 Speaker 1: with three turnovers in the second half and are able 474 00:21:55,468 --> 00:21:57,748 Speaker 1: to come up with the victory. And that's what matters. 475 00:21:57,908 --> 00:22:01,188 Speaker 1: After coming off a tough loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, 476 00:22:01,268 --> 00:22:03,988 Speaker 1: especially in which Dak Prescott has been throwing interceptions as 477 00:22:03,988 --> 00:22:06,388 Speaker 1: of late through the one. Early on in a game, 478 00:22:06,468 --> 00:22:08,948 Speaker 1: you're like, here we go again, Dad's just he's scrolling 479 00:22:09,028 --> 00:22:13,268 Speaker 1: up late in the fourteen straight. It was unbelievable. With 480 00:22:13,308 --> 00:22:16,748 Speaker 1: sixteen of eighteen in that first half. After throwing that interception, 481 00:22:16,988 --> 00:22:18,708 Speaker 1: he got it done and they won the game. See 482 00:22:18,708 --> 00:22:20,908 Speaker 1: all these papers in front of us, saw all the 483 00:22:20,948 --> 00:22:24,428 Speaker 1: coverage from over the weekend. Week sixteen started on Thursday. 484 00:22:24,828 --> 00:22:27,468 Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars beat the New York Jets on Thursday. That's 485 00:22:27,468 --> 00:22:29,668 Speaker 1: what kicked off the weekend. I gotta go back to 486 00:22:29,788 --> 00:22:32,548 Speaker 1: Thursday for the biggest statement when the Jaguars own their 487 00:22:32,588 --> 00:22:34,508 Speaker 1: own destiny. In fact, they owned the top of the 488 00:22:34,508 --> 00:22:37,668 Speaker 1: AFC South spot right now with the Titans absolutely tripping 489 00:22:37,668 --> 00:22:40,948 Speaker 1: over themselves down the stretch here. But frankly, the Jags, 490 00:22:40,948 --> 00:22:44,548 Speaker 1: it's not like they need help. They're playing fantastic. They 491 00:22:44,588 --> 00:22:46,468 Speaker 1: could have gone in New York and been like, oh, 492 00:22:46,548 --> 00:22:48,788 Speaker 1: we're the Sunshine team. We can't play in the right 493 00:22:48,908 --> 00:22:51,668 Speaker 1: who's a discussing Thursday night? It meant Life Station. It 494 00:22:51,788 --> 00:22:54,628 Speaker 1: was discussing Jason and Jason was there. It was awful. 495 00:22:55,068 --> 00:22:56,948 Speaker 1: He was in a radio booth which he was happy about. 496 00:22:56,988 --> 00:22:59,068 Speaker 1: Guess what the Jags were out there playing in the elements. 497 00:22:59,068 --> 00:23:02,468 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence passing the ball, great, running the ball, seeking 498 00:23:02,548 --> 00:23:04,708 Speaker 1: great over the last couple of weeks, asked this at 499 00:23:04,988 --> 00:23:08,148 Speaker 1: he just became the fifth thousand yard rusher for Jaguars 500 00:23:08,188 --> 00:23:10,708 Speaker 1: in Jaggars franchise history. A lot of great names on 501 00:23:10,748 --> 00:23:15,468 Speaker 1: that list. MJD. Fred Taylor, Leonard Fournette, and James Robinson. 502 00:23:16,108 --> 00:23:17,868 Speaker 1: He was on the Jets now he was an active 503 00:23:17,908 --> 00:23:19,748 Speaker 1: on Thursday Night. That's a good list to be on. 504 00:23:20,108 --> 00:23:22,148 Speaker 1: This offense is coming into their own That to me 505 00:23:22,308 --> 00:23:24,748 Speaker 1: could have been such an easy place to trip up 506 00:23:24,868 --> 00:23:27,508 Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. They are hosting a playoff game as 507 00:23:27,548 --> 00:23:30,028 Speaker 1: of today. It's actually a really weird scenario. Doesn't matter 508 00:23:30,068 --> 00:23:32,188 Speaker 1: what happens with either one of those teams Titans Jaggars 509 00:23:32,628 --> 00:23:34,668 Speaker 1: this week, all that matters is Week eighteen. The way 510 00:23:34,668 --> 00:23:36,628 Speaker 1: it works out, I wonder if they rest their starters 511 00:23:36,628 --> 00:23:40,388 Speaker 1: in Week seventeen. I've never seen that these Titans and 512 00:23:40,508 --> 00:23:42,708 Speaker 1: Jaguars do not need anything to happen with it, no 513 00:23:42,748 --> 00:23:45,028 Speaker 1: matter what the winner of Week eighteen wins the division. 514 00:23:45,188 --> 00:23:47,308 Speaker 1: I wonder if both teams are just like let's rest 515 00:23:47,308 --> 00:23:49,188 Speaker 1: our starters for a weekend. It's a one game showdown, 516 00:23:49,228 --> 00:23:51,868 Speaker 1: no matter what. This game means nothing, so you probably should. 517 00:23:51,988 --> 00:23:55,508 Speaker 1: It's like a mini it's a pretend. Anybody guys banged up, Yes, 518 00:23:55,708 --> 00:23:57,988 Speaker 1: but your guys out are healthy, you play. It's like 519 00:23:57,988 --> 00:23:59,868 Speaker 1: a wild outside chance one of them get the wild 520 00:23:59,908 --> 00:24:01,828 Speaker 1: card and lose on Week E team. But I think 521 00:24:01,828 --> 00:24:03,788 Speaker 1: I know what you may you don't empty the bench, 522 00:24:03,868 --> 00:24:06,228 Speaker 1: but like maybe you pull guys, or maybe if anybody's 523 00:24:06,228 --> 00:24:08,868 Speaker 1: banged up, you're banged up, banged up, then maybe we'll 524 00:24:08,908 --> 00:24:10,428 Speaker 1: give it a week. Make sure you're healthy for that 525 00:24:10,548 --> 00:24:13,268 Speaker 1: last game, like a Tannahill for example, if there's any 526 00:24:13,348 --> 00:24:15,588 Speaker 1: chance Glimmer got it can come back. Hey, we don't 527 00:24:15,588 --> 00:24:17,028 Speaker 1: need you to play this week, but if you can 528 00:24:17,068 --> 00:24:19,668 Speaker 1: come back for that last one versus Jacksonville bench them 529 00:24:19,668 --> 00:24:22,708 Speaker 1: all I get this super week? Could that be a 530 00:24:23,388 --> 00:24:26,308 Speaker 1: football game? There's way too many games and very welcome 531 00:24:26,428 --> 00:24:30,388 Speaker 1: likely will be the tags. Let's just start predicting games too, 532 00:24:30,788 --> 00:24:33,748 Speaker 1: coming up with crazy, crazy conversation what just happened? But 533 00:24:33,748 --> 00:24:38,828 Speaker 1: it was a crazy excuse here throwing tantrums when they 534 00:24:38,868 --> 00:24:41,788 Speaker 1: went on in Tampa Bay, which the Tampa Bay tantrums 535 00:24:54,988 --> 00:24:57,908 Speaker 1: AFC class picture. Now we just have a spicy conversation 536 00:24:58,428 --> 00:25:00,668 Speaker 1: with the NFC. Let's see if we can drum this 537 00:25:00,788 --> 00:25:02,588 Speaker 1: up again. I'm supposed to ask that we have a 538 00:25:02,588 --> 00:25:05,068 Speaker 1: handful of teams still fighting for that one who stands 539 00:25:05,068 --> 00:25:07,468 Speaker 1: out to you the most um. Jets were the worst 540 00:25:07,508 --> 00:25:11,188 Speaker 1: team you could possibly imagine Thursday night, hideous football, just gross. 541 00:25:11,268 --> 00:25:13,188 Speaker 1: They lose, and you're like, all right, Jets are done. 542 00:25:13,348 --> 00:25:17,548 Speaker 1: They turn on the television Saturday and they're the Patriots. Somehow, 543 00:25:17,628 --> 00:25:22,188 Speaker 1: some way, Ramandre Stevenson fumbling down for within the red zone. 544 00:25:22,228 --> 00:25:25,428 Speaker 1: They wake up Sunday morning and there's the Dolphins up 545 00:25:25,508 --> 00:25:28,868 Speaker 1: ten in the second quarter and somehow giving the game away. 546 00:25:29,468 --> 00:25:33,828 Speaker 1: There's a there's a scenario right now. Let's go that 547 00:25:33,948 --> 00:25:37,748 Speaker 1: the Jets when each of the final two games at 548 00:25:37,828 --> 00:25:41,028 Speaker 1: Seattle and at Miami, and they need one other thing. 549 00:25:41,028 --> 00:25:43,508 Speaker 1: They need the Patriots to lose just one game. I 550 00:25:43,588 --> 00:25:47,588 Speaker 1: need the Chargers to lose tonight and whatever. Let's gets 551 00:25:47,828 --> 00:25:50,108 Speaker 1: two cover game. Basically, Jets need to win out and 552 00:25:50,108 --> 00:25:52,228 Speaker 1: they need the Patriots to lose them. You know, there's 553 00:25:52,268 --> 00:25:54,708 Speaker 1: a scene of my one of my favorite holiday movies 554 00:25:54,748 --> 00:25:58,588 Speaker 1: called Trading Places and uh, I'm gonna give you Robert 555 00:25:58,628 --> 00:26:02,268 Speaker 1: Sala and Zach Wilson and they're sitting there with their 556 00:26:02,308 --> 00:26:05,028 Speaker 1: their winter caps on, and they're amongst the garbage and 557 00:26:05,068 --> 00:26:07,788 Speaker 1: they're lying there, and they're lying there, and it's Randolph 558 00:26:07,788 --> 00:26:14,348 Speaker 1: and Mortimer, Ducan Mortimer. We're back. That's the Jets right now. 559 00:26:14,388 --> 00:26:18,668 Speaker 1: They were discarded onto the street. They were done, Mortimer. 560 00:26:18,868 --> 00:26:21,428 Speaker 1: They are back. The Jets need a little bit of help, 561 00:26:21,468 --> 00:26:23,268 Speaker 1: but gosh, the Jets are in no worse place than 562 00:26:23,268 --> 00:26:26,068 Speaker 1: they were on Thursday night. They're still alive. I don't care. 563 00:26:26,108 --> 00:26:28,788 Speaker 1: It was playing quarterback, fireman, ed want to play quarterback? 564 00:26:29,028 --> 00:26:31,628 Speaker 1: Go up and travel Seattle, go play quarterback. I don't know. 565 00:26:31,868 --> 00:26:34,428 Speaker 1: They're alive, and hopefully they can get something done here 566 00:26:34,468 --> 00:26:36,068 Speaker 1: because that would be a heck of the story in 567 00:26:36,108 --> 00:26:39,028 Speaker 1: New York. It would be a story, that's for sure. 568 00:26:39,548 --> 00:26:41,628 Speaker 1: I'm going with the Chargers, a team that on your 569 00:26:41,628 --> 00:26:44,308 Speaker 1: scenarios at the bottom of the list, because the Chargers, 570 00:26:44,308 --> 00:26:46,268 Speaker 1: at one point, we're a list like there's a roller 571 00:26:46,268 --> 00:26:49,428 Speaker 1: coaster that are up and down. Their Chargers are chargering again, 572 00:26:49,588 --> 00:26:51,668 Speaker 1: was what we said in the beginning of the season. 573 00:26:51,708 --> 00:26:53,708 Speaker 1: They were picked by a lot of our colleagues to 574 00:26:53,748 --> 00:26:56,388 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. But here we are. They went 575 00:26:56,468 --> 00:27:00,148 Speaker 1: tonight against the Indianapolis Colts and the Chargers are in 576 00:27:00,348 --> 00:27:02,988 Speaker 1: the playoffs. They've been sitting at home watching all the 577 00:27:03,028 --> 00:27:06,628 Speaker 1: teams they needed to lose lose games, and now they 578 00:27:06,668 --> 00:27:09,668 Speaker 1: have their opportunity to clinch. They can be in there, 579 00:27:09,748 --> 00:27:12,268 Speaker 1: sitting in the driver's seat saying, hey, we're in We're 580 00:27:12,268 --> 00:27:14,148 Speaker 1: at the six seat, and we have a chance to 581 00:27:14,268 --> 00:27:16,668 Speaker 1: really go on a run a make a difference in 582 00:27:16,708 --> 00:27:19,308 Speaker 1: these playoffs. Didn't think this would happen. Felt like ten 583 00:27:19,348 --> 00:27:21,668 Speaker 1: weeks in there were five and five everybody was saying, 584 00:27:21,668 --> 00:27:23,868 Speaker 1: is Brandon Stanley gonna still be their coach next year? 585 00:27:24,068 --> 00:27:27,508 Speaker 1: They've gone through a rash of injuries defensively, Mike Williams 586 00:27:27,628 --> 00:27:30,508 Speaker 1: is finally back, Keenan Allen is finally back, and Justin 587 00:27:30,588 --> 00:27:33,468 Speaker 1: Herbert just continues to do Justin Herbert things. Get a 588 00:27:33,548 --> 00:27:37,628 Speaker 1: win against Nick Foles in Indianapolis, coach on Monday Night football, 589 00:27:37,748 --> 00:27:39,908 Speaker 1: and you're in the playoffs tonight. Take care of this. 590 00:27:39,988 --> 00:27:42,148 Speaker 1: It was interesting watching one of those highlights they picked 591 00:27:42,148 --> 00:27:44,828 Speaker 1: for the Chargers was just a slow motion tackle of 592 00:27:44,868 --> 00:27:47,868 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, just like take them down to the ground, 593 00:27:48,068 --> 00:27:50,388 Speaker 1: because that's what feels like it's happening with Miami Dolphins. 594 00:27:50,868 --> 00:27:53,108 Speaker 1: You guys are all excellent and what you've done, you're 595 00:27:53,308 --> 00:27:56,268 Speaker 1: in academia and athletics. Like I was a very poor 596 00:27:56,388 --> 00:27:58,908 Speaker 1: student in school, and I was very mediocre athlete. I 597 00:27:58,908 --> 00:28:00,508 Speaker 1: was really poor, and I used to play this game. 598 00:28:00,988 --> 00:28:03,668 Speaker 1: If I got like a seventy four on this exam, 599 00:28:03,748 --> 00:28:06,348 Speaker 1: it'll boost to my grade so I could pass the 600 00:28:06,428 --> 00:28:08,988 Speaker 1: class and just get past the smeasure. That's why I 601 00:28:08,988 --> 00:28:10,828 Speaker 1: feel like Miami Dolphins are at right now, if we 602 00:28:10,908 --> 00:28:13,548 Speaker 1: could just win one of these games, which is so 603 00:28:13,628 --> 00:28:16,468 Speaker 1: shocking because they were. They were getting grade A to 604 00:28:16,548 --> 00:28:18,948 Speaker 1: start the season, then they ticked it down to like 605 00:28:18,988 --> 00:28:21,708 Speaker 1: a sixty five in October, and then they boosted it 606 00:28:21,708 --> 00:28:23,468 Speaker 1: back up to an A plus when they won five 607 00:28:23,548 --> 00:28:25,988 Speaker 1: straight and now they're back to the C minus And like, 608 00:28:26,108 --> 00:28:28,588 Speaker 1: where are we gonna end our median grade here? Because 609 00:28:28,588 --> 00:28:31,148 Speaker 1: are you passing this class or not? Because the Dolphins 610 00:28:31,268 --> 00:28:33,508 Speaker 1: to the tung Fala. You make no sense. And that's 611 00:28:33,548 --> 00:28:34,828 Speaker 1: why my mom used saying to me when I was 612 00:28:34,908 --> 00:28:37,188 Speaker 1: not doing great in school, This makes no sense. How 613 00:28:37,268 --> 00:28:41,068 Speaker 1: are you this irresponsible with your grades? Dolphins? What are 614 00:28:41,108 --> 00:28:43,428 Speaker 1: we doing here? How are you this irresponsible in an 615 00:28:43,428 --> 00:28:45,668 Speaker 1: AFC East that you have to win your next two 616 00:28:45,708 --> 00:28:48,668 Speaker 1: games against the Jets and the Patriots in order to 617 00:28:48,708 --> 00:28:50,788 Speaker 1: get in. It should not be this hard for you. Yeah, 618 00:28:50,788 --> 00:28:52,548 Speaker 1: they were gonna win the East and the MVP in 619 00:28:52,588 --> 00:28:54,668 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and everything, and now it's just completely 620 00:28:54,668 --> 00:28:57,108 Speaker 1: falling apart. I don't know someone's gonna put a stop 621 00:28:57,148 --> 00:28:59,508 Speaker 1: to that. Yeah, May McDaniel can break another wacky T shirt. 622 00:28:59,868 --> 00:29:01,628 Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about the New Orleans Saints. I don't 623 00:29:01,628 --> 00:29:03,468 Speaker 1: give a damn if we're talking about the AFC. I'm 624 00:29:03,468 --> 00:29:05,628 Speaker 1: gonna break the show and break the segment. Have I 625 00:29:05,668 --> 00:29:08,468 Speaker 1: given you my New Orleans Saint spiel? We are looking 626 00:29:08,468 --> 00:29:10,828 Speaker 1: for a champion. I'm holding out for a hero like 627 00:29:10,908 --> 00:29:13,908 Speaker 1: Bonnie Tyler in the NFC South. I can't abide by 628 00:29:13,948 --> 00:29:16,268 Speaker 1: these Buccaneers, even coming off a win, and I'm trying 629 00:29:16,268 --> 00:29:18,468 Speaker 1: to embrace the New Orleans Saints, who have a two 630 00:29:18,508 --> 00:29:20,628 Speaker 1: game winning streak. I don't care if it said AFC 631 00:29:20,708 --> 00:29:23,188 Speaker 1: I can't South. Did you guys know that that Saints 632 00:29:23,228 --> 00:29:25,228 Speaker 1: Brown's game? He didn't watch it. It It was absolutely terrible. 633 00:29:25,308 --> 00:29:27,148 Speaker 1: Do you know that Andy Dalton won that game? The 634 00:29:27,228 --> 00:29:30,868 Speaker 1: status are crazy, all right, Andy Dalton winning quarterback eight 635 00:29:30,908 --> 00:29:34,108 Speaker 1: of fifteen for ninety two yards in the interception. His 636 00:29:34,308 --> 00:29:37,908 Speaker 1: leading wide receiver was rush sh Shahid. Yeah, rookie. Yeah, 637 00:29:37,908 --> 00:29:39,948 Speaker 1: I'm sure anytime I having a piece like oh, he's 638 00:29:40,068 --> 00:29:42,268 Speaker 1: very good and they like him and okay, but Peter, 639 00:29:42,348 --> 00:29:44,428 Speaker 1: should he be the leading receiver for a playoff team 640 00:29:44,428 --> 00:29:47,108 Speaker 1: heading down the stretch? In December, Alvin Kamara had seventy 641 00:29:47,108 --> 00:29:51,148 Speaker 1: six yards rushing Taysom all right, and they won coldest 642 00:29:51,228 --> 00:29:55,628 Speaker 1: day ever, coldest day ever, seventeen to ten. Saints. Understand, 643 00:29:55,988 --> 00:29:57,788 Speaker 1: the Saints have won two games in a row, which, 644 00:29:57,828 --> 00:30:00,028 Speaker 1: as I said, in that division, is like you haven't 645 00:30:00,028 --> 00:30:02,508 Speaker 1: lost for three months. The Bucks one the Panthers won. 646 00:30:02,548 --> 00:30:05,508 Speaker 1: But everybody's all here together, and Peter said, all the 647 00:30:05,588 --> 00:30:08,668 Speaker 1: Saints talk even it somehow pertains to their former head coach, 648 00:30:08,748 --> 00:30:10,508 Speaker 1: who's not even a coach right now. That's all anyone 649 00:30:10,548 --> 00:30:13,148 Speaker 1: talking about it, Sean Payton, how about Dennis Allen hosting 650 00:30:13,268 --> 00:30:15,348 Speaker 1: the game? Does anybody want to go into the Dome 651 00:30:15,428 --> 00:30:18,388 Speaker 1: and mid January? I don't. All I can do if 652 00:30:18,468 --> 00:30:21,068 Speaker 1: if we can't pick a champion Fantasy South is you 653 00:30:21,188 --> 00:30:23,948 Speaker 1: just go with the meritocracy of winning. Who is doing 654 00:30:23,988 --> 00:30:26,188 Speaker 1: the most winning when it matters? Most Saints two game 655 00:30:26,228 --> 00:30:28,588 Speaker 1: winning streak. I'm in Tampa Bay one last night they 656 00:30:28,628 --> 00:30:30,708 Speaker 1: lost the week before. Peterson would just say they stink 657 00:30:30,788 --> 00:30:32,748 Speaker 1: this year, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
