1
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to NFL Daily, where we're partying like it's twenty

2
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: twenty three.

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: Up.

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Greg Rosenthal in the Chris Westling podcast studio with my

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: friend Patrick Claybon, Nick Shook in Cleveland, and Yes, super

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty nine is set and it looks a whole

7
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: lot like Super Bowl fifty seven.

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 3: Chiefs Eagles.

9
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: I guess we were always leading to this point, Patrick Claybon,

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, He's inevitable and the Eagles are too good

11
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: to be stopped.

12
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 3: It's a rematch.

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 4: It's a rematch, and of course it's Jalen Hurts lock screen.

14
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 4: All these things that we're going to talk about from

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,840
Speaker 4: the Eagles having that disappointment, they're at super Bowl fifty seven.

16
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 5: It's all coming back.

17
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 4: The Eagles got there in a fashion that didn't leave

18
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 4: a lot to you know.

19
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 5: We'll talk about that.

20
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 4: But this game between the Bills and the Chiefs a

21
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 4: classic delivered once again Shook.

22
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely delivered. It's very fitting of this Bills in

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 6: Chiefs rivalry. And I think we have to wait to

24
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 6: find out just a moment to see how it ended.

25
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,040
Speaker 3: Yes, we know how it ended.

26
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: We know how they all and what I'm not gonna

27
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: do is let any little minor rooting interests because we're

28
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,559
Speaker 1: all professionals here. We're not rooting for our picks. We're

29
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: not rooting for something to just change. We're not rooting

30
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: for our producer Eric Roberts. Okay, maybe maybe we are

31
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. But what we are seeing, especially in

32
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: these Bills Chiefs playoffs games, and especially tonight in the

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: AFC Championship at Arrowhead was excellent and everything that you

34
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 1: could want in a conference championship.

35
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 3: Let's go to Kansas City.

36
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 7: I'm minute thirty five to go in the game.

37
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 5: Chiefs lead thirty two to twenty nine. Long Counties are

38
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 5: gonna throw it.

39
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 7: They throw in the left flat cut.

40
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 8: It's some JP run at the thirty first off the

41
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 8: left sideline.

42
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: I love you, saman Ja Pam.

43
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 8: I remember when Brett Beach told me they picked him

44
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 8: off into.

45
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: Game at eighteen yards.

46
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 5: I poured water on my head.

47
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means, but I like it.

48
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 3: It's the Samase p Ryan revenge game. What is he

49
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: getting revenge for?

50
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, being stuffed in a major spot in

51
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and then getting the ball for a

52
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: different team years later.

53
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: That's the revenge.

54
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, he comes back, and that's why Mitch Holtzs's head

55
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 4: was apparently on fire and he had to extinguish it.

56
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 5: Not sure about that. We're gonna have to deal with

57
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 5: that call, just like all of them, I guess, But.

58
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 4: It was it was coming down to that moment where

59
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 4: you wondered if the Kansas City Chiefs were gonna throw

60
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 4: the ball. I felt like we're sitting there watching the game,

61
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 4: Greg that the ball was gonna.

62
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 5: Be in Mahomes' hands.

63
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: If it was not absolutely lock solid an opportunity to

64
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 4: throw the ball for the first down, he was probably

65
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 4: gonna run it. Soma JP Ryan came across the field

66
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 4: wide open like backs in the flat wide opened a

67
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 4: lot late in that game, and that was a problem

68
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 4: for the Kansas City Chiefs defense continually over the course

69
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 4: of these sixty minutes.

70
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds crazy, shook, but it's the little things

71
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: in the last few minutes. It's the game management, and

72
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: I think when you look at the two sides and

73
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: how these fourth quarter drives ended on offense for each team,

74
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: and the decision making for Andy Reid to throw the

75
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: ball there like you did before they got the previous

76
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: first down where Pacheco ends up going on abounds. It's

77
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: total faith, it's total confidence in exactly what you're gonna

78
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: do and everyone executing what you're gonna do. And I

79
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: can't say the Bills really had that. There were times

80
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: in this game I was like, are they hiding Josh Allen?

81
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: And of course Josh Allen had his up, so he

82
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: had his downs, and he did a lot of great

83
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 1: things late in this game. And yet the Chiefs just

84
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: the whole playbook, everything is open to them when it

85
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: matters the most.

86
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 6: And especially in clutch situations. That is the Chiefs m

87
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 6: is going to the flats. I think back to the

88
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 6: corn dog play in the Super Bowl last year. I

89
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 6: think about the two plays that they ran where they

90
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 6: actually ran the wrong direction one time two Super Bowls

91
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 6: ago to beat the Eagles, one of those touchdown catches

92
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 6: with Sky Moore. I think about the quick out to

93
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 6: Tyreek Hill Chad Henny throws it on fourth down to

94
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 6: beat the Browns and the divisional round back in twenty twenty.

95
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 7: This is who the Chiefs are.

96
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 6: So once again it was fitting that this time it

97
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,679
Speaker 6: was samajp Ryan in the flat for a huge first

98
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 6: down to ice it for them. But it's all about

99
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 6: what led up to that. It's about the Bills and

100
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 6: their fourth down and five decision. It's about the fact

101
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 6: that the Chiefs got down the field and we're able

102
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 6: to take the lead. It's the back and forth affair

103
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 6: that was the second half that made this such a

104
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 6: great game that we're going to get into.

105
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you bringing up all those old plays. I

106
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: think it's so natural when you're watching this Chiefs team

107
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: to think about their long run that it's not all

108
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: in a vacuum. And we will talk about this game

109
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: shortly in a vacuum and kind of back up all

110
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: those fourth down and fourth quarter decisions.

111
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: But just from a big.

112
00:04:55,240 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: Picture standpoint, I am struck by back to back weeks

113
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: them beating Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, the two best

114
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in the NFL this year, and thinking about this

115
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: stretch that these two teams specifically have had and how

116
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: they've been shaped by the Chiefs. It's so unique that

117
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: the Ravens have the most wins over a seven year

118
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: stretch not to make a super Bowl. I mentioned all

119
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: week how the Bills have made at least the divisional

120
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: round five straight years, average of twelve wins a year,

121
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: top five and point differential five straight years, and yet

122
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: no Super Bowl appearance out of that. We actually have

123
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: not really seen sustained excellence at this high level be

124
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: pushed back over and over and over again.

125
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: I know the Patriots did it.

126
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: Somewhat, but not at this level, and that to me

127
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: more than anything, because every year is different, every game

128
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: is different. But more than anything, Mahomes, Read Spagnolo, Chris Jones,

129
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: those four guys coming together finding a way to beat

130
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: these truly great teams every single year, it's just remarkable.

131
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 4: And the similarities, there's parallels for all these guys. Right,

132
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 4: you have Patrick Mahomes, He's had Texas Tech. They're throwing

133
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 4: the ball a whole lot. You know, he goes up

134
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 4: against these teams where you know, we have the bene

135
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 4: for the hindsight looking back, it's like, Ah, Texas Tech.

136
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 4: You know, they gave Baker and Oklahoma a run, but

137
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 4: he didn't really, he didn't really show up in the

138
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 4: big moments. And Andy Reid is over there in Philadelphia

139
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 4: and Ah, you know they were good, but in the

140
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 4: big moments they didn't. He didn't really Spags had their

141
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 4: run with the Rams. I don't know, I don't know

142
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 4: if he could get it done. But together, right, it

143
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 4: tells the story of how those narratives collectively don't make

144
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 4: any sense. And you've got Spags in position to have

145
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 4: players like Chris Jones, players that have come through Trent McDuffie,

146
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 4: like all of these guys that just make these plays

147
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 4: because they have that talent and they have the ability

148
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 4: and the wherewithal as well as the the cachet to

149
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 4: send five, to send a corner blitz on fourth and five, right,

150
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 4: to make these calls to throw the ball on third

151
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 4: and nine, because that's Andy Reid, like, okay, Like if

152
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 4: I mess up, if the play doesn't work out, where

153
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 4: are you all going to do to me?

154
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 5: Now?

155
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: Like I'm Andy Reid right, so and do it And

156
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: it all starts, of course though with Mahomes, and I

157
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: think these last two weeks have been really excellent Mahomes games.

158
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: His first five scrambles, I believe tonight all hit for

159
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: first down.

160
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 3: His success rate was through the roof.

161
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: And it's the decision making, but it's also some great

162
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: throws down the field to Worthy to Marquise Brownie, he

163
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: didn't catch them all. But it's funny shook because if

164
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: you if you look at like the last six weeks

165
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: of the season, for instance, actually Patrick Mahomes has been

166
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: out playing Josh Allen and has been out playing basically everyone.

167
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: He's gotten back to the Patrick Mahomes that you want

168
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: to see right when it matters.

169
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: Of course, of course he has.

170
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, nobody knows that better than me.

171
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 6: When I have to hear from people up you know,

172
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 6: in my mentions the whole season.

173
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 7: Mahomes doesn't even deserve to be in the top ten.

174
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 7: You're not watching the game. Well, now, guess what.

175
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 6: You've been forced to watch the game because there was

176
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 6: two games on and one of them included him, and

177
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 6: you all watched it, and you saw exactly what he's

178
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 6: been doing over the last seven weeks, which is finding

179
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 6: ways to lead his team to victory.

180
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 7: That is a mark of excellence.

181
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 6: It's not five hundred passing yards, but it's a mark

182
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 6: of excellence. And in key moments like that, he goes

183
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 6: on a bootleg and he's got a guy to dump

184
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 6: it off to, he's got a running back to dump

185
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 6: it off to, he's got worthy crossing the field that

186
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 6: he throws two to set him up for the field goal.

187
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 6: He's got all these situations where he could make a mistake,

188
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 6: he could throw an errant pass, he could take a sack,

189
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 6: which he did take a sack a couple times today,

190
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 6: and you know it doesn't matter because he delivers, because

191
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 6: he's been there before, and he's one of the best

192
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 6: quarterbacks in the NFL. And he's the leader of a

193
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 6: team that is having so much success that we are

194
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 6: now not only comparing them to the Patriots, some are

195
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 6: even considering them to have a better run than the Patriots.

196
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 6: I mean, let's think about it. There's two teams that

197
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 6: have stood in their way over since twenty nineteen. It's

198
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 6: been the Cincinnati Bengals and the Champa Bay Buccaneers in

199
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 6: the Super Bowl.

200
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 3: That's it.

201
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 6: Otherwise, they've been here and I don't care if you're

202
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 6: tired of it.

203
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 7: You have to appreciate excellence.

204
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think of like specifically in this game,

205
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 1: for instance, that worthy catch that he made that was

206
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: so insane where he pulls the ball away. That was

207
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: a crazy throw by Mahomes as he in the throw

208
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: didn't end up getting that much attention, but as he's

209
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: getting hit. There was another play where he just stayed

210
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: very composed in the pocket before hitting on what was

211
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: ultimately like a good blitz call by the Bills. So

212
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: I thought he played really well. Now, Patrick, you mentioned

213
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: the fourth down stop. Let's go back and talk about that.

214
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: The Bills have the ball down three late in the game.

215
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: They get the ball back with what three minutes and

216
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: thirty seconds to go down three. At that point in

217
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: the game, I thought it was a minor mire cle

218
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: that the Bills had the ball in this position only

219
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: down three. They forced the field goal after a big

220
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 1: first down sack on Mahomes to get the field goal.

221
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: And for all the mistakes at the Bills I thought

222
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: made today, they'd fumbled a bunch of times, they missed

223
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: two two point conversions, they had a fourth down stop

224
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 1: earlier in the fourth quarter. Here they were with a

225
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: chance to win the game. They get a quick first down,

226
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: then they're almost at midfield the forty seven yard line.

227
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: They get five yards on a third and ten to

228
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. They decide to go for it on fourth

229
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 1: and five. Let's listen to the call, and.

230
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 9: He brings Khalil Shakira and marsha orbet motion now peels

231
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 9: back to the left.

232
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 3: Since you're chasing Jeff Tallen, he.

233
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 8: Throws it up for Crafts and the passes inter playing

234
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 8: into playing off the arm of the would be receiver

235
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 8: Tulgent Jentiede Chan Sau City has the second fourth down

236
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 8: stop in this half.

237
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 5: And it was a great call by Spags.

238
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 4: It was a tough one for Osaire's Torrence, who ultimately

239
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 4: wound up blocking nobody. Trip McDuffie blitzed from the corner.

240
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 4: The only people that got blocked on the play were

241
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:11,200
Speaker 4: George Carloftis and Chris Jones, because both Trip McDuffie and

242
00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 4: Justin Reid came right through on Josh Allen and the

243
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 4: Bills on Bill Barmell pointed it out on Blue Sky

244
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 4: Shout out to Blue Skuy earlier tonight. The Bills had

245
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 4: that fourth and two in Week eleven where they ran mesh.

246
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 4: Josh Allen had a twenty six yard touchdown run, so

247
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 4: they're essentially running a similar mesh here, but there's two

248
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 4: guys directly on Josh Allen. Seconds after the ball is snapped.

249
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 4: Brian Cook, though for the Chiefs, runs to cover grass

250
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 4: instead of Dalton Kincaid setting up a great opportunity and

251
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 4: incredible that Josh Allen even saw him. But Kinkaid picks

252
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 4: up the ball late and it hits the surf. It's

253
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 4: just a tough one.

254
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 6: I have issues this play, okay issues from the perspective

255
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 6: because look, it blows my mind. And I watched this

256
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 6: with the Chiefs a lot in key situation and Steve

257
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 6: Spagnolo is going to have his defense show blitz and

258
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 6: nine times out of ten that blitz is coming. It

259
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 6: might not be coming from the guys you expect, but

260
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 6: there is going to be a blitz coming. So why

261
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 6: on earth are you leaving Josh Allen in an empty backfield.

262
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 7: As soon as I.

263
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 6: Saw him go in orbit motion, I was like, they're

264
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 6: cooked because that blitz is coming and they don't have

265
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 6: enough guys to pick that up and they're not going

266
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 6: to pass it off in time. So as soon as

267
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 6: he gets a snap and the blitz is in his

268
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 6: face and he panics, you know, the whole play is

269
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 6: blown up. Why and mesh is run correctly. There are

270
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 6: guys open, but he has no time to find them

271
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 6: because you didn't prepare for what everybody on Earth who's

272
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 6: ever watched the Chiefs play football knows is coming yea

273
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 6: which is going to be a blitz. It's gonna be exotic,

274
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 6: it's gonna be an overload. Give him some help. Leave

275
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 6: a running back back there to at least pick somebody up.

276
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: But that's I hear you, and that's all true, and

277
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: yet so much goes into that. It's two defensive backs

278
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: that are blitzing on that side, it's McDon So they

279
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: only sent five. It felt when Patrick showed me the

280
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: dots and the coaches film angle, which he has on

281
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: his next gen stats like pro what's shot out in

282
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: g Yeah, you know, I thought seven guys were blitzing

283
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,960
Speaker 1: on that that they sent zero like they did. Actually

284
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: on third down, Tony Romo did a great job. They

285
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: sent the house on third down. They got it out

286
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: of Allen's hands. Amari Cooper almost broke that tackle. I

287
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: think to pick up more yards didn't happen. So they

288
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: only sent five, but two of them are defensive backs.

289
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 1: Bolton's dropping out. I think a defensive lineman was dropping

290
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: out there. And it's also in the context of a

291
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: game where they actually didn't blitz much. They only blitzed

292
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: eighteen percent of the time, about the same as the Bills,

293
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 1: and they got so much more pressure on Sunday night

294
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: forty six percent pressure rate by the Chiefs, almost double

295
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: what the Bills got, the exact opposite of what happened

296
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: the first time, where they blitzed like crazy, didn't get

297
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: much pressure, and that the Bills won with four There

298
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: were so many games within a game that I thought

299
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs won tonight, which is why if I was

300
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: a Bills fan, this one kills you. But I actually

301
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: do think the better team won tonight. I felt like

302
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: the Bills almost stole one at the very end, and

303
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: it The last thing I want to say about that

304
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: play is why it's so much can go into one

305
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 1: football play for all of that that we just said,

306
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 1: Nick like Josh Allen got the ball there like he

307
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: saw got an open guy. Yeah, and it hits Kinkaid

308
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: right in the hands. And in another world where Kinkaid

309
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: just makes that it's not an easy catch because that's

310
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: it thinks like coming down a little differently than most

311
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: passes would be. In another world, that's the NFL film's moment.

312
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 1: They they go to the super Bowl because of that,

313
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: because it was a great play by Josh Allen.

314
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 4: No, there's an incredible play, but it's tough to build

315
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 4: the whole plane out of gas making those plays. Because

316
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 4: there was another empty backfield play on the on the

317
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 4: in the red zone earlier tonight where they emptied the

318
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 4: backfield again and it's like, well, it's it's got to

319
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 4: be Josh like this is and and he runs it

320
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 4: and he and he ultimately gets it. But it's it's

321
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 4: asking a lot for for a dude that is carrying

322
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 4: the team. He's taken a lot of punishment these collective

323
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 4: third and one, fourth and ones. He's just getting blasted.

324
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 4: And I know he's big and he can take it,

325
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 4: but it just seems like you could make things a

326
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 4: little bit easier on him, not to say that he

327
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 4: can't do it, because he can clearly do it. He

328
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 4: had the ball in Dalton Kink's hands. But it feels

329
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 4: like it's asking a whole lot from a guy who

330
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 4: can do a whole lot. But it's still it's twenty

331
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 4: two guys out there.

332
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I don't want to take you know, I

333
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 6: don't want to criticize Joe Brady for this too much.

334
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 6: I think that the moment at times made him coach tight.

335
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 6: But I also love the speed option call on the

336
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 6: goal line that produced the James Coke touchdown. I thought

337
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 6: it was executed flawlessly, and you know, the effort by

338
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 6: Cook to get across the goal line when he's getting

339
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 6: hit by two guys was fantastic.

340
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 7: It was a great call in that situation. I just

341
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 7: felt like in.

342
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 6: Some spots now Grant, they got built out when Alan

343
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 6: finds that Curtis Samuel open in the back of the

344
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 6: end zone for a touchdown. But the third down play

345
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 6: call before that, which is just a fade of the

346
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 6: corner the en zone to Keion Coleman against Tete McDuffie,

347
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 6: It's like, what are you doing here? Like lean on

348
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 6: your strikes here there. It was an up and down game.

349
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 6: I understand high pressure.

350
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 1: Towan doesn't have throw that ball either. Patrick, you're putting

351
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: your head on your your hands there.

352
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 5: Well, it just felt like a wasted down.

353
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 7: It did. It's exactly what it was.

354
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: Why are you reducing My issue with the fourth quarter

355
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: at times was the Bills had a stirring drive to

356
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: come out of halftime. Twelve plays eighty yards, only one

357
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: pass the whole time, and that was a little dump

358
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 1: off to who was it knocks on the goal line

359
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: or whatever to set up uh the eventual touchdown. It's

360
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: all James Cook all the time, and I just thought

361
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: he was having an incredible game. Thirteen for eighty five

362
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns and then forty nine yards through the

363
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: air doesn't show how good he was. It was only

364
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: on sixteen touches he was their best player, and there

365
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: wasn't There wasn't enough James Cook to me on the

366
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: last couple drives of the gaming, including even when they

367
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: got down close. I'm just like, I know, you want

368
00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: to do the touch push all these times. Why not

369
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: just hand the ball off to James Cook. He's popping

370
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: seven every time you give him the ball.

371
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 6: Steve Spagnolo is over there pleading with his defense. We

372
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 6: have to stop the run so much that sideline reports

373
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 6: are relaying this to us. We have to stop throwing.

374
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 6: We don't have an answer. Sixteen touches in total, it's

375
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 6: not enough. Like that's just poor game, you know, game script.

376
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 6: It's poor decision making within the flow of the game.

377
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 6: And I think that that's gonna be one of the

378
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 6: reasons why when the Bills, you know, get back on

379
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 6: that plane back to Buffalo. They're gonna be thinking, man,

380
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 6: we left something out there. It's not just that fourth

381
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 6: down play. We left something out there. We should have

382
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 6: rolled the hot hand a little.

383
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 3: Bit more so.

384
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: They failed twice on two point conversions. One was on

385
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,359
Speaker 1: a Toush push, which I mentioned, one was on a

386
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: pass by Josh Allen, and they actually got stuffed three

387
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: different times on Toush pushes, including the fourth down in

388
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Sean McDermott spoke after the game about

389
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: all those unsuccessful plays.

390
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 10: Well, it's been our best play all year year, you know,

391
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 10: at water inside of one yard, and you know we

392
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 10: won some of those. But but to your point, they were,

393
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 10: they're doing a good job, and I thought, overall, you know, maybe,

394
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 10: you know, maybe we could have disguised it.

395
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 3: Maybe not.

396
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 10: But at the end of the day, we have confidence

397
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,880
Speaker 10: in Josh and and our offensive line to get those

398
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 10: and they've been getting them all year.

399
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 3: But they they had part of the broadcast.

400
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: I really thought this was a case where someone listening

401
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: to the broadcast should have helped out the Bills coaches.

402
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 1: The fact that Jim and Tony were talking about that

403
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: the Bills always run it to the left, that the

404
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs were very prepared for it, that they practiced that

405
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: all week, and then they stuffed it twice at that

406
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: point going for a third time, which is the time

407
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: that was on fourth and short. The Bills are driving

408
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, like it's not working today. Was

409
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: your most successful play all season, and that is something

410
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,719
Speaker 1: that I think maybe McDermott over the years has been

411
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: criticized about maybe not being as flexible and changing what

412
00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: your game plan. I know that's maybe more Joe Brady

413
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: making that decison, but in that moment, it was maybe

414
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: a bad spot Bill's fans, if they have one thing

415
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: to complain about. It did look like Alan probably got it.

416
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: But I wasn't surprised they didn't overturn it.

417
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 4: In the event that when we can't see the football

418
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 4: and somehow Josh Allen has decided to cover it in

419
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 4: an organ that's inside of his body and behind it.

420
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 5: I would say he didn't get it.

421
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 4: But looking at the camera that was down the line,

422
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 4: which was our I mean normally in the situations like

423
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 4: oh we don't have the camera, it's tough to look

424
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 4: down the line and say he didn't get the first

425
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 4: down there. But you know, Kansas City was prepared, and

426
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 4: I understand going to the well when it's been successful,

427
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 4: because them going left wasn't something that just popped out

428
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 4: like in Week thirteen, Like this is something that's been

429
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 4: consistent there the entire season. It's worked the entire season.

430
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 4: But Kansas City made the place tonight, especially the one

431
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 4: where Chris Jones has Josh Allen low and I'm not

432
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 4: sure if it was Bolton diving over the top, like

433
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 4: they just they got an eight and got those stuffs.

434
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: They forced a fumble on that one, right and they

435
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 1: Josh Allen recovered the fumble. A crazy stat in this game.

436
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: There were six fumbles in this game. Guess how many

437
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: of the Bills recovered all six?

438
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 4: I'll six, Wait, so counting counting the one that didn't

439
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 4: count because of the penalty. Like Mahomes got yeah, got stripped.

440
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 4: Every time the ball hit the round to the Buffalo,

441
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 4: Bills got on top of him.

442
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: And I was saying, maybe that was why I was

443
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: feeling like they were a little lucky to be in

444
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: this game, because I don't think Josh Allen played his

445
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: best game. He made enough big plays that you can't

446
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: say like he had a bad game, but he was

447
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: not under control and making clearheaded decisions. I think like

448
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: he had for most of the season. He could have

449
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: easily had three turnovers in this game, or more like,

450
00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: if you were just add up all the like turnover

451
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: worthy plays, like, it could have been four or five total.

452
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: So he got very lucky not to have them, and

453
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: then we'd be talking differently. I'm glad we're not having

454
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: those conversations. But that's part of the reason why I

455
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: feel like ultimately the Chiefs were better in this game.

456
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: Another reason why is they took advantage when they did

457
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: get the stop, So they get the fourth down stop

458
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: on Josh Allen in the fourth quarter. That's with twelve

459
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: to fifty five left in the fourth quarter. Five plays

460
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: fifty nine yards later, they are in the end zone.

461
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: Let's listen to the go ahead score by Patrick Mahomes.

462
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 2: Now they go to a flipbon set first down play.

463
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 3: Mahomes keeps it on an RPO at the five.

464
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 7: It's a league plot.

465
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 8: He goes into the NS on this hid touchdown Joe City.

466
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes a sixteen.

467
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 8: Yard run, his second rushing touchdown of the.

468
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 3: Game, such a good play call.

469
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: Nick right on Twitter believes that the only design runs

470
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,639
Speaker 1: that they've called since Mahomes injured himself earlier in his

471
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: career and they vowed to, you know, never call quarterback

472
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: sneaks again. Were in the Super Bowl against the forty

473
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 1: nine ers and two plays tonight, one on a previous

474
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: fourth down and then that touchdown. He also scrambled to

475
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: start that drive. Juju gets involved and then Kareem Hunt

476
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: pounds it down their throat and so the marriage between

477
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 1: the play calling. He also hits the two point conversion

478
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: that was the other play I was trying to think

479
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: about earlier where I thought he was very patient in

480
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: the pocket. That was not an easy play to make

481
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: to wait with the pressure coming. Like, it's just the

482
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: marriage of the play calling and the running at the

483
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: perfect moment for the Chiefs to take advantage and get

484
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: that score with Mahomes, like they only break it out

485
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: when they absolutely need to.

486
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 3: Shook.

487
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's a product of continuity and familiarity

488
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 6: with the Chiefs because what I saw between these two teams,

489
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 6: I thought, you're absolutely right that the Chiefs were the

490
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 6: better team and deserved this win more than the Bills did.

491
00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 6: But the difference between these two teams in terms of

492
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 6: body language, performance, execution, everything else was one team that's

493
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 6: been there before, is comfortable being there and knows how

494
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 6: to win it, has done the job, and the other

495
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 6: team that is so desperate to win it that they

496
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 6: play tight wo in situations like that, you call a

497
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 6: designed run for Mahomes that you never really do because

498
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 6: you know he picks up yards on scrambles when he

499
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 6: improvises and everything else, but you trust him enough because

500
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 6: he's proven it to you enough over the years. You

501
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 6: all know each other so well that you trust him

502
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 6: to do that get that job done, and he gets

503
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 6: it done.

504
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 7: And that's the true mark of a champion.

505
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 6: This is why the Chiefs have been here and why

506
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 6: they're so hard to beat is because of plays in

507
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 6: situations like that.

508
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 4: And it's just a skill set that he unveils when

509
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 4: he needs it. Like tonight was the second highest scramble

510
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 4: rate in Mahomes' career. Wow, Like of all the times,

511
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 4: I mean, this dude has played sixty two games since

512
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 4: January of twenty twenty two, because they have all these

513
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 4: playoff games, this is the highest mark since that spam,

514
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 4: but the second highest scramble rate in his entire career,

515
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 4: seventeen point four percent of the dropbacks, where even if

516
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 4: there wasn't necessarily a play to make because you have

517
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 4: to cover the whole field with him, there's so much

518
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 4: trouble all over, even if Hollywood's dropping the ball, but

519
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 4: he's you know, when he needs to, he can do it,

520
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 4: Like however you want it, he can do it.

521
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 3: Right. Remember that stat everyone was trying out again.

522
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, Nick mentioned it on the previous show with me

523
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: that everyone just kept hammering that stat.

524
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: There's only three teams that didn't score more than thirty

525
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 3: points this year, the Raiders, the Patriots, and the Chiefs.

526
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 1: Well, they scored more than thirty tonight in the AFC Championship.

527
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: They got it to thirty two. And the first half

528
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: of this game, to me, was so telling. And maybe

529
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 1: that's maybe I'm just a sucker for first impressions, because

530
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: the Bills did a great job coming back. But the

531
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: first half of this game, for Josh Allen's first few

532
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: plays to be design run Okay, cool statement of intent

533
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 1: gets it six or seven yards, then near interception should

534
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 1: have been intercepted. And then the very next play probably

535
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: should have been intercepted to the flip side. Mahomes gets

536
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 1: the ball and suddenly it's twenty seven and they're running

537
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:05,480
Speaker 1: the Alex Smith offense. It was four RPOs, a play action,

538
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: and a bootleg.

539
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 3: He wasn't even dropping back.

540
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: And then Kareem Hunt, who, by the way, took so

541
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: much advantage of those twenty five days off more than

542
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:17,920
Speaker 1: any other chief. This is the Kareem Hunt that they

543
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: had in weeks four and five or whenever he joined

544
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: and had a lot of juice. Suddenly he's totally back.

545
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: He's way better than Pacheco. He is easily their best

546
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: running back, and he gave them a big spark tonight.

547
00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: And I was just thinking that game plan early was

548
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: so creative and so surprising, I think for the Bills.

549
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: And they end up scoring three touchdowns in four possession. Now, granted,

550
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 1: the one possession of the first half they didn't score

551
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 1: was a fumble because Mahomes maybe isn't quite as good

552
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: as Lamar and Josh Allen at those rbos and he

553
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: fumbles the ball.

554
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: But otherwise it was pretty it was pretty darn brilliant.

555
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 4: And I think that offensive explosion put Buffalo in position

556
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 4: where the ball was getting put into dangerous spots and

557
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 4: the fumbles happened to know Buffalo recovers those.

558
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 5: But like your your.

559
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 4: Big offensive play was a seeing eyeball that mccollins makes

560
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 4: like a career, career level play and beats Trip McDuffie

561
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 4: on what leads to.

562
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: Shout out to mccollins.

563
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 4: I love mccollins, great mcollins season, but those are the

564
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 4: type of plays that the Bills didn't need back in

565
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 4: the win at home in Buffalo. They needed tonight, and

566
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 4: so like things had to be a little bit more

567
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 4: risky for Buffalo tonight.

568
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 1: We've given some love to Jared Cook James Cook rather uh,

569
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 1: never want to confuse your cooks. I learned tonight, By

570
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: the way, Cooks, James Cook's middle name is Dalvin, I

571
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:45,360
Speaker 1: learned tonight, and Dalvin's middle name is James. So shout out,

572
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: shout out to the Cooks, because you are two of

573
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: the smoothest running backs I've ever seen, and your brothers

574
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: and that's pretty cool. Let's listen to the touchdown call

575
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: because that was an incredible play.

576
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 11: Split backs with Gilliam and Cook on his left and

577
00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 11: right knocks out on the right.

578
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 3: Other receiver on the other side, it's.

579
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 11: A pitch blade to Cook, dives reaches for the end

580
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 11: zone and he's got it.

581
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 7: He is in for the touchdown.

582
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,560
Speaker 3: What an amazing.

583
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 11: Effort by Cook, who is back in the kitchen for

584
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 11: his second touchdown of the game. Nice he went airborne

585
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 11: and stretched his arm as far as it would go

586
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 11: to reach the goal line.

587
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 3: Shout out to James Cook. That was a ridiculous effort.

588
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: If they didn't get that one another failed fourth down

589
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: on the goal line, it just felt like, man, are

590
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: they ever gonna get it done? And shout out to

591
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 1: this Bills team because we've talked a lot of about

592
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: the negatives tonight. They did fall down big at Arrowhead.

593
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: Josh Allen did have the drive in under two minutes

594
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: for a touchdown going into halftime to make the score

595
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: way better. He did have the fourth quarter drive after

596
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: they were stopped on fourth down the Chiefs, you know,

597
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: get that lead that we just talked about with Mahomes

598
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 1: and he answered right away, this Bill's team had a

599
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: ton of heart and there really was I think more

600
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 1: than the some of their parts. And I think even

601
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 1: though they lost this game and they weren't totally clean.

602
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: They showed that tonight like they've still were right there

603
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: and had every reason to fall out of this game,

604
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: and they kept coming back on offense. So just just

605
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: a little Bill's appreciation.

606
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:22,720
Speaker 3: I'm going to go to.

607
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: Eric at this point, we've waited long enough. Are you

608
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 1: Are you trying to are you trying to hear me

609
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: spin anything positive?

610
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 3: At this point?

611
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 12: I mean, this is how it always goes, man, It's

612
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 12: I mean, I thought I did think we were gonna

613
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 12: pull it out.

614
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 3: I did.

615
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 12: We got the ball back down by a field goal,

616
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 12: and I thought I And that's how it goes. It's

617
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 12: happened to me plenty of times with this team. Thirteen seconds.

618
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 12: It's not the first time I've gotten text from friends

619
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 12: like a family member has died in my family's.

620
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 3: It just happens.

621
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 12: It's Mahomes is the dragon, and he's ruining my life

622
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 12: and the life of many Bills fans around the world.

623
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 5: It feels that way, like it feels I mean, but

624
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 5: you can't like it's not real. I know it's not real.

625
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 5: They're not magic. There were so many there were chances,

626
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 5: and it's.

627
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 6: Just yeah, that's the thing that's the thing is like,

628
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,120
Speaker 6: they get the ball down three and a friend of

629
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 6: mine who's a diehard Bills fan, I texted her and

630
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 6: I was like, if your king's gonna go take his throat,

631
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 6: he's gotta go do it.

632
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 7: Right now and they and they didn't like. And that's football.

633
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 12: It's like this, the moment was there and you come

634
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 12: up short, and I almost it comes back to things

635
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 12: like would you rather get blown out?

636
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 3: Would you rather get your heart ripped out? Last second?

637
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 12: I don't know which would be worse at this point,

638
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 12: Like what do I want to be involved for four

639
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 12: quarters and have that chance and like it's there for

640
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 12: me or just not even be involved? Yes, I mean

641
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 12: I don't know you do yes, But it's happened to

642
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 12: me multiple times now, Like.

643
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 1: He's turning twenty nine years old in May, and I'm

644
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: not gonna say it doesn't. It is brutal to lose

645
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: late in the playoffs.

646
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 3: Over and over.

647
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: It's it's an maybe there's no better or worse in

648
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,280
Speaker 1: terms of pain, but you still got that guy and

649
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: you still got that team, so that that part's good.

650
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 3: In no way do I think that this is the end.

651
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 3: Are We're done?

652
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 12: Like Josh Allen is a badass quarterback and he will

653
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 12: will the Bills to something at some point, I hope,

654
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 12: And it's just may not happen while Mahomes is standing

655
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 12: upright on the other sideline.

656
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 4: Well, there's there's an opportunity to surround. We were just

657
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 4: talking about the talent level on this roster as a whole,

658
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,719
Speaker 4: and you look at some of these other postseason contenders

659
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 4: and the spots where they are successful where they don't

660
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,719
Speaker 4: necessarily have Josh Allen, Right, Like you talk about pieces

661
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 4: of that that Texans team in a pass rush in

662
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 4: the secondary, or the Ravens and that in the defense,

663
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 4: the way that they got better, and like the plays

664
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 4: that like Isaiah Likely was making, or like Mark Andrew's

665
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 4: doing spots in the game, Like so much of this

666
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 4: Bills team just comes down like seventeen doing it even

667
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 4: when James Cook is having this generational type game and

668
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 4: there's just there's gotta be more for the team around him.

669
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 4: And that's why I think it feels like this team overachieved,

670
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 4: Like based on the total roster of the team, like

671
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 4: they overachieved. It was an incredible success to be where

672
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 4: they were with this opportunity and so much of that

673
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,640
Speaker 4: goes on seventeen and I think like the whole Rings

674
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 4: conversation kind of clouds people and makes it makes it

675
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 4: tough for people to enjoy this because it's like, oh, well,

676
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 4: we need we need Josh to win one, or we need,

677
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,719
Speaker 4: you know, justin Herbert or Lamar to win one so

678
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,640
Speaker 4: that they can be good and we can appreciate it.

679
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 1: Like no, like we yeah, but it's it's also for them,

680
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: you know, even if you take all that out of that,

681
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: if you root for him as a human, you want

682
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: him to have that feeling you want him because because

683
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: that's what he is playing for, is to finish it off.

684
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: He's playing for other stuff too, but he is playing

685
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: for that. And the thing that I think is going

686
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: to be difficult for him is I don't think he'll

687
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 1: think he played his best tonight.

688
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 3: I really don't.

689
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: I think you go back to that first drive that

690
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: he was a little skittish on. There was a few

691
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: times tonight where he misses wide open receivers, one with

692
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel crossing over the middle. There was another one

693
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 1: early in the game where he just misses an open guy.

694
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: He dirts one a little bit and I just thought like,

695
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: it wasn't his cleanest game. So you always want your

696
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: best players to play the best in the biggest of spots.

697
00:32:35,560 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: He talked after the game, it's a little sad to

698
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: listen to, but let's listen to it.

699
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 2: It's not fun, but to beat the champs, you had

700
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 2: to beat the champs.

701
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 3: He had to beat the champs, and we didn't do

702
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:54,280
Speaker 3: it tonight.

703
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 6: He's right, they're the bully on the block. And this

704
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 6: isn't the movie Friday, at least not yet.

705
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,719
Speaker 4: But the way we remember things is funny, right, because

706
00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 4: Mahomes had had a screen to worthy that was going

707
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 4: to be six and he threw them an absolute bounce pass. Yep,

708
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 4: it just kind of gets wiped away because because the

709
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 4: Chiefs went like, these guys are incredible, and sometimes the

710
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 4: results don't don't reveal the greatness of the players that

711
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 4: we're watching. And I just hope, like for Eric's sake,

712
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 4: for everybody that's watching the Buffalo Bills and they have

713
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 4: their blue on tonight and they're sad, like there was

714
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,800
Speaker 4: so much to enjoy about this football team that like.

715
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 3: The journey was fun. I hope, I hope you.

716
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: I hope you had fun with the journey, and yes,

717
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 1: the the journey for this Chiefs team will continue. We'll

718
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,480
Speaker 1: have a couple of weeks to talk about it. Jordan

719
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: rod reeg the athletic coming down with me to New Orleans.

720
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: Nick Shook coming down to New Orleans, gonna try to

721
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: He's gonna be busy right in and covering.

722
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 3: Hell yeah, like an old noir film.

723
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 5: Is like Shook in his hotel room, just like yeah yeah.

724
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: Shout out to Chris Jones. Nate Tice had a stat

725
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: in the first half of this game. He was not

726
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 1: double team down eleven snaps of the first half and

727
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: he got seven pressures out of those eleven snapstball player.

728
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he's literally one of the best defensive players

729
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: in the history of NFL. Postseason football, maybe I don't

730
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: even need to put postseason there, but postseason its next level.

731
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: If you just stack up the moments the games that

732
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:35,399
Speaker 1: he has changed to.

733
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 5: Effect should have a Super Bowl MVP.

734
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: Winning I personally don't think there's anyone who's who's stacked

735
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 1: up as many plays as him in the last twenty years.

736
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: So I threw this out there and I got a

737
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 1: lot of like Aaron Donald back or ty Law, and

738
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, they had they had a season, or

739
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,360
Speaker 1: they had runs, and Donald was pretty dominant whenever he

740
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: got the chance. But just because Jones is there every

741
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 1: time he gets so any chanced, it dont to high.

742
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: Towers made a lot of really game changing plays, but man,

743
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: he is incredible. I also wanted to give just before

744
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 1: we go, like a shout out to to Xavier Worthy,

745
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: that rookie that they traded up for with the Bills,

746
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: uh in the first round where everyone was like.

747
00:35:15,560 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 3: Oh, wow, the whole league.

748
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 1: You're just gonna let Xavier Worthy go to the Chiefs,

749
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 1: aren't you.

750
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 3: I mean it kinda kind of came true, Like yeah, he.

751
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 7: Took all season, but yeah he was.

752
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 4: He was like putting his foot in the ground and

753
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 4: getting in the end zone on that last like crosser

754
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 4: away from having I think a perfect game.

755
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, like his suddenness to like he looks like Michael

756
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,720
Speaker 1: Jackson in the Smooth Criminal video. He's just like stopping

757
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,640
Speaker 1: and going backwards and going forwards. He's unreal. He's a

758
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: contested catch. God, he didn't have one all season and

759
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: now he's doing it every single week.

760
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 7: Bodes well for their next matchup.

761
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 4: They stopped using him as a go merchant and started

762
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 4: having him play football.

763
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 7: Wait you mean you can run round?

764
00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 3: Sweet uh man.

765
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: If there's anything else we think we want to say,

766
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: we still have a whole other half of the show

767
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: to go. Eric has been begging me to take a

768
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:10,720
Speaker 1: break for a while.

769
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 3: Just I could see it in his eyes.

770
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 1: He's telling me the time this has been a painful stretch.

771
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 3: So let's move on from AFC.

772
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 1: We'll be back talking NFC after the break.

773
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 9: He's got Barkley to his left hand, off Barkley scudder

774
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 9: step running to the right.

775
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 11: Barkley will take it air touchdown, Philadelphia.

776
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 5: They are lighting up the lynch.

777
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 9: They have the Eagles running away from the Commanders. Say

778
00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:56,720
Speaker 9: Kwan Barkley third touchdown up the day, Philadelphia could chaste it.

779
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're going back to iron Eagle the bird

780
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,839
Speaker 1: on the NFC Championship recap that.

781
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 3: Was on Westwood one.

782
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: And yes, that was Saquon Barkley's third touchdown of the

783
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 1: day that got it to forty eight points.

784
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 3: The Eagles got wild.

785
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: And they dropped a fifty burger on the Commanders in

786
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: the NFC Championship Final score fifty five to twenty three.

787
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: I love a consistent storyline, Shook and you can set

788
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 1: your one today you get You can set your watch

789
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 1: to this running game with Saquon Barkley. The very first

790
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: carry of the game was a touchdown and yeah, by

791
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: the end, they were just pouring it on. This running

792
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: game has been the eighth Wonder of the world this

793
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,760
Speaker 1: whole season. And they're going to be playing in Super

794
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 1: Bowl fifty nine against the Chiefs.

795
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 3: What do you think.

796
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, you can set your watch to him hitting a

797
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 6: big play early. You can sit your watch to him

798
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 6: closing the game with a big play. He was one

799
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 6: yard short of finishing it off with a touchdown. Sets

800
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:02,840
Speaker 6: up Jalen Hurts. But what you couldn't set your watch

801
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 6: for was the Eagles putting fifty five points on the board.

802
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 6: This is a team that we've just hemmed in hot

803
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,359
Speaker 6: over the last two weeks ago. They can't put points

804
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 6: on the board, then their offense isn't explosive outside of Saquon.

805
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 3: What do they do?

806
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 6: Can they beat the Commanders? Can they keep up with

807
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 6: Jayden and Daniels well double Nickel later looks like they can.

808
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 6: And it was because of the collective team effort. It

809
00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 6: wasn't just Saquon even though he was fantastic average almost

810
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 6: eight yards per carry on the ground. It was Jalen

811
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 6: Hurts and his bad knee with two toush push touchdowns

812
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 6: and another one with Saquon leading the way. It was

813
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 6: Shipley Will Shipley getting involved late in the game when

814
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 6: it really didn't matter anymore. Is aj Brown catching a

815
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 6: touchdown pass? They were firing on all cylinders. This is

816
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 6: the Eagles, I think, at their peak offensively, where Hurts

817
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 6: doesn't have to throw for three hundred yards but they

818
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 6: can still rack up four hundred and fifty yards of

819
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,439
Speaker 6: offense and cruise to a victory against a very familiar opponent.

820
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 7: Who had a great season but learned that.

821
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,839
Speaker 6: When you don't win in the turnover margin, you usually

822
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 6: lose in the playoffs, as they did today.

823
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, those five turnovers that they love in the game

824
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 4: where they come back and win. Jaden Daniels throws a

825
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 4: touchdown with six seconds on the clock to beat the

826
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 4: Kenny Pickett led Eagles at that point. Late, they turned

827
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 4: the ball over here and the Eagles made them pay

828
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 4: for it.

829
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 3: But every time, I think, because coming into.

830
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 5: The game right there's the concerns.

831
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 4: We go back a few weeks, it's like, what do

832
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:25,400
Speaker 4: we need to work on pass game? The Eagles struggle

833
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,800
Speaker 4: in the pass game. The run rate is high. I

834
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 4: never thought that Jalen Hurts forgot how to throw the ball,

835
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 4: like when the offense is operating and this is rotating

836
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 4: two centers. By the way, neither one of them was

837
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 4: healthy throughout this game. As Dickerson is snapping the ball,

838
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 4: then Jurgons is out. Jurgens comes back in because Dickerson

839
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 4: like can't move. He actually had a holding call. They

840
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 4: called back a touchdown because he just couldn't get to

841
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 4: the guy who got across his face.

842
00:39:56,760 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 5: There h third down, Jalen.

843
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 4: Hurts, third and five goes to Saquon first down, third

844
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 4: and four, AJ Brown four yard touchdown. There was the

845
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 4: fourth and five money to AJ Brown thirty one yards

846
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 4: on Marshawn Lattimore, like consistently when they needed plays in

847
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,920
Speaker 4: the passing game. They were explosive there and they showed

848
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 4: that they've had this in the bag the whole time.

849
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 4: They go up against the defense that's frankly overmatched. No

850
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,359
Speaker 4: day Ron Payne in this game, which I think had

851
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 4: a huge impact especially in their ability to stop the run,

852
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 4: but when they needed to, the talent disparity was just

853
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 4: too glaring on offense for the Eagles.

854
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm glad you shouted that out with Hurtz. So

855
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 1: he ends up with a ninety four percent success rate

856
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: or no, he was in the ninety fourth percentile in

857
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:49,160
Speaker 1: terms of EPA for play in this game.

858
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:50,760
Speaker 3: According to Shiel Kapadia.

859
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:53,239
Speaker 1: He was twenty for twenty eight, two forty six and

860
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: four total touchdowns, three of them on the ground.

861
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 3: And I thought.

862
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 1: Aj Brown's sequence in the middle of this game was

863
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: as important as just about anything. There was the touchdown

864
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 1: that's a that's a one on one play against sand Restill,

865
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: and it's a it's a great ball by Jalen Hurts,

866
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: but also AJ Brown just totally beats him.

867
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 3: He's an underrated route runner gets the touchdown.

868
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: That was after the sand Restill dumb penalty, which was

869
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:30,400
Speaker 1: part of a succession of dumb plays by the Commanders,

870
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:35,840
Speaker 1: ultimately dumb penalties turnovers. There was also right in the

871
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: middle of that quarter a fourth down where the at

872
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: midfield where the Eagles decide to go for it and

873
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,240
Speaker 1: they throw a go ball to aj Brown and that's

874
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: that's just like, that's what they did against the Giants

875
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: earlier in the season. I remember in a very similar

876
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 1: situation late in the first half and like a one

877
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: score game, and that was just trusting their best players.

878
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: And that includes Jalen Hurts to do what he does best,

879
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: which is throw a go ball, like in theory, a

880
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,279
Speaker 1: low percentage play on fourth down, and they trusted him.

881
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: He trusted the look after passing on it earlier, learned

882
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,759
Speaker 1: from that mistake. AJ Brown goes and gets it, goes

883
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: six for ninety six. So as good as Saquon was,

884
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: and he was awesome as always, and yeah, as good

885
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: as Will Shipley was late, like, the passing game was

886
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,680
Speaker 1: a huge factor in them.

887
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 3: Scored eight touchdowns.

888
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: Nick, that's the most touchdowns in a playoff game this

889
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: entire century. Eight touchdowns, I mean, they would eight touchdowns

890
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,279
Speaker 1: and eleven drives. That is that is extremely difficult to

891
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: do in the NFL.

892
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 7: Seven rushing touchdowns.

893
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,840
Speaker 6: That ties for the most rushing touchdowns in a postseason

894
00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:42,280
Speaker 6: game in NFL history. If you wow me, the final

895
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 6: score of the game, in which I already know, I

896
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 6: already know that wasn't today go ahead?

897
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 3: Great because I saw it.

898
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,080
Speaker 1: I saw it, but I think I could have guessed it.

899
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 1: It was seventy three to nothing against this same Washington crew,

900
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: biggest blowout and can you imagine making the championship game

901
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: and losing seventy three to nothing because that so proud

902
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,240
Speaker 1: was what happened to the lowly Chicago Bears.

903
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 7: And it was also nineteen forty.

904
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a long time before at War. Like

905
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 3: a lot was going on there.

906
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, a lot was going on. But you know

907
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 7: what else is going on?

908
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 6: As Aj Brown proving himself to be one of the

909
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 6: most trustworthy go ball guys and one of the most

910
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 6: trustworthy go to guys in key spots on that play

911
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 6: that you just described. As soon as Hurts drops back

912
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 6: and he throws it up. As soon as I watch

913
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:23,640
Speaker 6: the ball ark in the air and I look down,

914
00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 6: I go, oh, that's Aj Brown.

915
00:43:24,719 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 7: That's gonna be caught.

916
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 6: Like, yeah, he had a step on Latimore, didn't matter.

917
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 6: Latimore could have been draped all over and he's still

918
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 6: going to catch the ball. He's one of the most

919
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 6: trustworthy guys in those situations. And that's what makes this

920
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 6: Eagles offense so scary. They have a great offensive line.

921
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 6: They have a dynamite running back in Saquon Barkley. They

922
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 6: have two awesome receivers in Brown and DeVonta Smith. They

923
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 6: have a great tight end Dallas got it. And at

924
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 6: one point, I think it was when Hurts rushed for

925
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,959
Speaker 6: a touchdown, they had a sequence where they're going to Smith,

926
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 6: They're going to god It, They're going to Brown, They're

927
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 6: going all over the field, and then it's Hurts on

928
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 6: the keeper and Barkley throwing the block to get him

929
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 6: to the edge for the touchdown. Where I think Tom

930
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,400
Speaker 6: Brady said, we have so many different they have so

931
00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 6: many different guys. Who's going to beat us? Well, you

932
00:43:58,400 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 6: can't be don't beat us, don't let got it be,

933
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 6: don't let Brown beat us. Oh wait, there's Jalen Hurts

934
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 6: to beat us. Like when their offense is humming, they're

935
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 6: extremely scary and the commander's learned that today.

936
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's let's listen to Saquon beating them as a

937
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 1: blocker from.

938
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 9: The non She'll we looking for more purses on long

939
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:14,399
Speaker 9: left side.

940
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 5: The fun cuts it to the outside touch down. The

941
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 5: Eagles were piling it on.

942
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 9: Philadelphia doing the gritty and they open up a thirty

943
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 9: three fifteen lead.

944
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was the moment where it felt over. That

945
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: wasn't the only highlight block Saquon had. I mean, that

946
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 1: was him getting leverage on Frankie Luvu and totally you know,

947
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: walling him out of the play on it where he

948
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: literally is like the full back on that play. He

949
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: also planted Bobby Wagner into the ground on a blitz

950
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: pick up.

951
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 3: What can't this man do?

952
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 4: And it's when when we say blitz pick up, you

953
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 4: kind of imagine like the running back stepping up and

954
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 4: pick this was this was a Saquon attacking Bobby Wagner.

955
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 5: It felt almost excessively violent.

956
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you could hear the pop on the on the broadcast,

957
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 4: and it gave Jalen the time that he needed to

958
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 4: to make plays where like Davante's Smith had six yards

959
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:15,760
Speaker 4: of average separation in this game, Like normally you're seeing

960
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 4: backs and tight ends with that level of separation.

961
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: Wow, but it's targets, but he goes four for forty five,

962
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: crazy efficient, got her seven out of eight targets for

963
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: eighty five. Aj Brown six for eight targets for ninety six.

964
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:36,719
Speaker 1: Just so efficient. And let's actually listen to Nick Sirianni

965
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: talking about his guy Jalen Hurts after the game.

966
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 13: It's amazing how much.

967
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 5: Doubt there is. Something.

968
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,400
Speaker 13: I can't quite comprehend it because you know, it doesn't

969
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,239
Speaker 13: look like people think it should look like. But the

970
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 13: but the guy has been clutch. He's won a ton

971
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 13: of football games. But they but you ran for this

972
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,680
Speaker 13: many yards. We don't care how we win.

973
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 5: We don't. We don't care.

974
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 13: If we rush for three hundred and passed for one

975
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 13: and we win, great, If we rush rush for one

976
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 13: and passed for three hundred, great, who cares. We've just

977
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 13: continued to win. He's just continued to win.

978
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 3: And I think.

979
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:18,240
Speaker 13: The the criticism is, yeah, whatever, he just wins.

980
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out who is eighty two because

981
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: he's on the current roster Ania Smith uh And if

982
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:28,280
Speaker 1: you're watching on YouTube, you'll see that Sirianni had Kelly

983
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: Green Eagles jersey on of eighty two.

984
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 3: I don't Mike Quick is has to be the answer,

985
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 3: little Love.

986
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 4: I got it a former Bachelor Franchise star Clay Harber.

987
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 6: It's got to be Mike Quick You know where he

988
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,839
Speaker 6: fits in my late night comfort viewing lately has been

989
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 6: The Bernie mac Show on Netflix. Nick Sirianni looks like

990
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 6: he belongs in Bernie Max's den with his friends playing.

991
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 7: Card yeah, cloking cigars.

992
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 3: It could be Lja Smith.

993
00:46:54,840 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 2: The Chief.

994
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,960
Speaker 3: I looked it up. It could be Tory Smith.

995
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 5: Briefly, I'm looking at the same list, Tom Scott.

996
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: It was definitely not Lja Smith the like Joe the

997
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:08,840
Speaker 1: number fourteenth tight end getting drafted in fantasy leagues in

998
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 1: two thousand and five. When I was doing rankings back then,

999
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,040
Speaker 1: I thought Hurts was really ready for the moment. He

1000
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 1: was one hundred percent healthy by my eyes. I'm sure

1001
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 1: he didn't feel that way. But what I mean to

1002
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 1: say is that when he cut and ran forward, it

1003
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: was good. When he ran, and when he made a

1004
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:29,440
Speaker 1: couple throws on the run, it looked quite good. And

1005
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: there were some people saying, like, oh, he didn't look

1006
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: great when he was running laterally, that's like what he

1007
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: looks like normally. So I thought he looked great. It's

1008
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 1: always been a story how Jalen Hurts kind of processes

1009
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:43,320
Speaker 1: the game, and I think it's fair in terms of

1010
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: him holding the ball. There was a play early in

1011
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: this game where he has a hard count, he sees

1012
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 1: them coming on the Blitz, he sees the coverage, he

1013
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: points it out. I don't know if he changes it,

1014
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: but he knows exactly what he's going to do, and

1015
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 1: he hits Godard for a big game right afterwards. So

1016
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: he used that hard count to kind of outsmart see

1017
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: what was going on, make it happen. He used to

1018
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: be criticized for his struggles against the Blitz. That's been

1019
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 1: mostly good this year, but a little up and down lately.

1020
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:12,240
Speaker 1: Seven for thirteen for one hundred and sixteen yards today

1021
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,640
Speaker 1: against Blitz, whereas Jayden Daniels struggled against the Blitz in

1022
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: an otherwise good game two for six twenty nine yards. Patrick,

1023
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 1: your thoughts on Jaden Daniels in his first Championship Game appearance.

1024
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:26,399
Speaker 1: I don't think it'll be his last. I don't want

1025
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: to put too much pressure on it, but I have

1026
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: a feeling we'll see him at some point again here.

1027
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 4: No, especially because I don't know if the Commanders are

1028
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 4: going to, especially under Dank Quann, have a defense that

1029
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 4: is as overmatched as they were, especially today giving up

1030
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 4: any touchdowns on eleven drives. That's saying we've already talked

1031
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 4: about that, but Jayden just puts so much pressure on

1032
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:50,720
Speaker 4: so many different parts of your team. Where the Eagles

1033
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 4: had a great, great plan in spectacular execution, and even

1034
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,399
Speaker 4: that was still very close to thirty points. I mean,

1035
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:04,800
Speaker 4: they they get behind, they're pressing, the Eagles were sustaining drives.

1036
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:10,279
Speaker 4: Looking back, thirty points feels easy. You know, he had

1037
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 4: he did have the turnover, but he's changed the expectations

1038
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:20,439
Speaker 4: so much by just howell spectacular he's been. Where there

1039
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 4: was clearly the Diammy Brown fumble right loses you an opportunity.

1040
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:31,799
Speaker 4: The McNichols fumble loses an opportunity. Could he have played better, yes,

1041
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 4: But I mean it's nitpicking at this.

1042
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: I think so because even that interception was with five

1043
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,520
Speaker 1: minutes left in the game, and that it actually kind

1044
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: of reminds me of how I say that he has

1045
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,680
Speaker 1: good misses, Like that's a good interception at that point

1046
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: in the game. It's a long down and distant situation.

1047
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: You're giving your guy a chance to make a play

1048
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:51,320
Speaker 1: and the game's over at that point. Anyways, to lose

1049
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 1: three fumbles Diammy Brown, Jeremy McNichols and Austin Eckler were

1050
00:49:58,200 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 1: just those were just absolutely killer to me. I'm losing

1051
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: track of which one was which, But the Zach Bond

1052
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: one was the first one, right him coming over. As

1053
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 1: they're holding up so many force fumbles, it's hard to

1054
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 1: keep track.

1055
00:50:13,719 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 6: The Bond one was on Eckler when he got up afterward,

1056
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 6: I think Bond who knocked it out?

1057
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 3: So that was the third one? That was the third

1058
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:21,799
Speaker 3: third one?

1059
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, But I want to go back to Daniels

1060
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 6: real quick, because I think that those who like scan

1061
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 6: the stat sheet and look at the final score and want,

1062
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 6: you know, oversimplified topics for daytime talk shows are going

1063
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:33,920
Speaker 6: to try to pin this on the quarterback because it's

1064
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,719
Speaker 6: the easiest way to disseminate information to the viewership, Right,

1065
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 6: Jane Daniels is the only reason they were in this game.

1066
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 3: Yes, they didn't.

1067
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 7: They don't have a running game. They haven't had a

1068
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 7: running game for a long time.

1069
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 6: He dropped back fifty five times through the ball forty

1070
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 6: eight times, and on that first drive alone that they

1071
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 6: only get a field goal out of, they have to

1072
00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 6: convert fourth down like three times, and he's doing it

1073
00:50:50,320 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 6: every time. He's putting defenses in conflict. He's making it

1074
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 6: hard to where they have to guard the whole cover

1075
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 6: the whole field because he's able to scramble.

1076
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,320
Speaker 7: He's throwing accurate passes.

1077
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 6: In the middle of the first quar They're losing the game,

1078
00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 6: and I'm like, I don't know if they can come

1079
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 6: back because the momentum is already in the eagles favor.

1080
00:51:05,040 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 6: But Jane Daniels is definitely built for this moment. He's

1081
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 6: handling this really well. It's just that he can't also

1082
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 6: account for his defense, you know, in them being leaky

1083
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 6: and his teammates turning the ball over. So I don't

1084
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 6: have any negative things to say about him.

1085
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:17,319
Speaker 7: Coming away fa this game.

1086
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 6: I thought he was the best part of their entire performance,

1087
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 6: and he's got a bright future. It's just a bumber

1088
00:51:21,200 --> 00:51:23,399
Speaker 6: in a good season that ends short of the ultimate goal.

1089
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 5: I mean, that place was in full throat.

1090
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 4: Everything is going there, ready to party on Broad Street,

1091
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,760
Speaker 4: and he put the fear of God in the entire building. Yeah,

1092
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:36,919
Speaker 4: what was it, eighteen plays? It's constant, and I thought

1093
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 4: they were going to go for another fourth down.

1094
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 5: I'm honestly surprised that they didn't.

1095
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: I thought I think he blinked a little bit. They

1096
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 1: kicked a thirty four yarder on a fourth and two

1097
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 1: after an eighteen play opening drive, and I thought that

1098
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: moment actually was dan Quinn blinking a little is like, oh,

1099
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,440
Speaker 1: I don't want to push our luck here, when in reality,

1100
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: if in some world where they were going to win

1101
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: this game, which would have not include did three lost fumbles? Uh,

1102
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: I think they got to go for that and keep

1103
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 1: getting sevens.

1104
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,640
Speaker 6: You know, I think they regretted that quickly too, because

1105
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 6: then they run the fake punt.

1106
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:12,640
Speaker 1: They were down fourteen three, like yeah, like eight scripts later,

1107
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: big punt. Literally five minutes later, they were down fourteen three.

1108
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 4: I'm wondering at what point, So, how many players are

1109
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 4: you scripting at the start of the.

1110
00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,440
Speaker 3: Game, supposedly like ten to fifteen.

1111
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 4: I think it's so I'm wondering if you're getting down

1112
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 4: to that fourth down and it's like, all right, well

1113
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,399
Speaker 4: you got Cliff Cliff when we got all four for two,

1114
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,439
Speaker 4: he's upside down.

1115
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: There were a couple plays where I thought Cliff got

1116
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: a little too cute, and I think that's to the

1117
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:45,239
Speaker 1: Eagles defensive credit that as Tom Brady kept pointing out,

1118
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: like everything's hard against this defense, and I know what

1119
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 1: he meant was they are it is kind of the

1120
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:53,480
Speaker 1: prototypical Vic Fangio defense that they're gonna make you earn it.

1121
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 3: There wasn't a ton of separation.

1122
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 1: You're getting first downs, like three downs at a time,

1123
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 1: and how to go down the field like that, and

1124
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: that is difficult to just continue doing. But I did

1125
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 1: think they blinked and then you fumble what it was

1126
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: the kickoff and you give up the quick touchdown to

1127
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:15,880
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley, and suddenly, after another six play drive by

1128
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 1: the Eagles or your defense you know, has no resistance,

1129
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: you're down fourteen to three. It was a great job

1130
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: though by the Eagles, I mean by the Commanders to

1131
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:30,160
Speaker 1: respond with their own another long field goal drive. They

1132
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: do get a stop rare in this game. It was

1133
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 1: actually a missed field goal by Jake Ellie, a long

1134
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 1: field goal, but they did, you know, make him kick

1135
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 1: that long field goal. He missed it, and it was

1136
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: the one moment of the game where you thought, Okay,

1137
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 1: maybe it's gonna be back in fourth.

1138
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:50,080
Speaker 3: Let's go to the second quarter. Jaden Daniels, here's Daniels.

1139
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 9: He's recol throws over the middle, Terry mccouran clot it

1140
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:54,239
Speaker 9: at the thirty till it's meet at the twenty.

1141
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:59,919
Speaker 8: Cuts away for ten fucking me a dude, touchdown judge

1142
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,439
Speaker 8: down one a dad seventeen.

1143
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 5: Well another legacy moment in the playoffs. Listen splee out

1144
00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 5: season life down Texas a terrible color waiting on the

1145
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:12,399
Speaker 5: slab run.

1146
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 1: Oh that is so good, uh for I guess the

1147
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,040
Speaker 1: last time, at least after a game this season. We

1148
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 1: still have our calls of the year to come, and

1149
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:24,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure Bram and London will be featured there. But

1150
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: it was great to great to hear them one last time.

1151
00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: And uh to brand Wimstein's credit, I mean he was

1152
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,800
Speaker 1: so strong on the show that I was commanders pilled

1153
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 1: after that.

1154
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 3: I was just like, I think he's right, I think

1155
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:39,600
Speaker 3: they will win.

1156
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 4: And then look at this card, I mean, why why

1157
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:44,839
Speaker 4: would why would they think anything else? And all all

1158
00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 4: credit to an offense in a spectacular season. Uh, you know,

1159
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 4: from the best rookie quarterback season I've ever seen.

1160
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:57,840
Speaker 1: Get me too, it's now past RG three would have

1161
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 1: been my answer, and it's past no question he was asked.

1162
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 3: Jaden was asked to do more.

1163
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:07,200
Speaker 1: He kept it going into the playoffs, and his rate

1164
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: of improvement throughout the courses, he was just outstanding. He

1165
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,919
Speaker 1: also led them in rushing today, by the way, six

1166
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: for forty eight. That play, though that McLaurin made was

1167
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:20,920
Speaker 1: rare thirty six yard er. He had only fifteen the

1168
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:25,240
Speaker 1: rest of the day. I have some crazy quinyon Mitchell's

1169
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 1: stats facing Terry McLaurin, which was I believe most of

1170
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 1: his snaps thirty six out of the forty eight snaps.

1171
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 1: He only gave up one reception on four targets for

1172
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 1: seven yards in an interception. So Cliff not beating the

1173
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,400
Speaker 1: accusations here of leaving his guy on one side of

1174
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 1: the field, because if you saw that touchdown, he's on

1175
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: the right side there with the Slay and they don't

1176
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:56,520
Speaker 1: really travel in terms of Mitchell and Slay. But that

1177
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 1: was the matchup, and you don't blame him for thinking

1178
00:55:58,800 --> 00:56:01,880
Speaker 1: that's a good matchup again anyone, Terry McLaurin. But that's

1179
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:05,800
Speaker 1: twice now that that quinnyon. What a season and he

1180
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 1: gets a trademark interception there at the end. All right,

1181
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,239
Speaker 1: we got more to talk about with this game. We'll

1182
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 1: be back after the break, Nick, I thought their defensive

1183
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,879
Speaker 1: stars all showed up. Josh Sweat had a nice day,

1184
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 1: three quick pressures, Zach Bond with that forced fumble, a

1185
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 1: fumble recovery, twelve tackles, Mitchell with a really good game.

1186
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,839
Speaker 1: I mean, this group they have stars, but they also

1187
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 1: play really well together. I thought they flew to the

1188
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,439
Speaker 1: ball to the point where the fumbles almost didn't feel

1189
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 1: like luck. Really, it just felt like they were almost

1190
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:47,320
Speaker 1: inevitable because every time someone was getting tackled hard and

1191
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: they were swarming.

1192
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, even Jordan Davis had a sack, and you know

1193
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 6: he's often overshadowed by his former Georgia teammate Jeleen Carter,

1194
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:56,640
Speaker 6: and yet they both made a difference today. I think

1195
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 6: that today was an example of what the Eagles gonna

1196
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 6: be at their peak on both sides of the ball,

1197
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,320
Speaker 6: you know, with takeaways, being opportunistic defensively, but just like

1198
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 6: you said, flying to the football, it felt like every

1199
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:08,720
Speaker 6: time there was a loose ball, there were a crowd

1200
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:10,400
Speaker 6: of Eagles around it ready to jump on it. And

1201
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 6: you could say like, oh, that's just the way the

1202
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 6: games go, and the football gods are against the Commanders.

1203
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 7: Now this is a good defense.

1204
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 6: This is guys that are playing well within the scheme

1205
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 6: that is directed by Vic Fanjo, who's got decades of experience,

1206
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 6: and they're all peaking at the perfect time. And then

1207
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 6: you compliment that with the offense, the dominance on the

1208
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 6: ground with Saquon Barkley, the ability to move the football

1209
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 6: through the air, and that's how you get a blowout

1210
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 6: like this, and that's what makes them scary for anybody

1211
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 6: left in their way, which of course is the Chiefs.

1212
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 6: But on a day like today, you take a moment

1213
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 6: to celebrate that because it's rare that teams execute this

1214
00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 6: well in all phases, and they did.

1215
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: It's the same formula as twenty seventeen and twenty twenty,

1216
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, two season and then the twenty three you know,

1217
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: it happened in the playoffs for the Egles. I don't

1218
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 1: think they were quite as strong on the defensive line

1219
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: that season, so I don't think the formula was quite

1220
00:57:57,320 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: there for me. But it's all about drafting, developing, and

1221
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: then signing offensive lineman and defensive lineman and and and

1222
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: yes they're extremely talented roster were what were we doing

1223
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: before the game, before we started, we were comparing the

1224
00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: Bills and the Eagles.

1225
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, we were trying to figure out how many non

1226
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 4: Josh Allen Bills we would take and put on this

1227
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 4: Eagles team.

1228
00:58:20,760 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: In terms of starting positions, right in a trade. That's

1229
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 1: crazy because the Bills are one of the best teams

1230
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: in the league. And yet I rolled through them all

1231
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 1: and I'm and there's some positions that are even There's

1232
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: certainly positions where the Bills have a great player like

1233
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: James Cook, He's just not as great as the Eagles

1234
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 1: great player. But I like had to go down to

1235
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 1: like well, backup tight end Dawson Knox, I'd take over

1236
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: Grant Calcultara. Like that's how loaded this team is. But

1237
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,040
Speaker 1: to finish, uh, my point I started with was was

1238
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: the lines, and that's what they've always been about in

1239
00:58:55,040 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 1: this Howie era. And their lines right now, their four

1240
00:59:01,000 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 1: down linemen that started all had at least three pressures

1241
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: and quick I mean sweat and and Jalen Carter had

1242
00:59:08,560 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 1: had three quick pressures I believe eats. And then the

1243
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:16,320
Speaker 1: offensive line is so freaking good that they can have

1244
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 1: their center not even be available for the start of

1245
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: the game because he's not healthy. So they have Lannon

1246
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 1: Dickerson move over step in, but he gets hurt. And

1247
00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 1: then Jurgens, who is hurt, you know, comes in after

1248
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: halftime and they all make it look seamless and protect

1249
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts great, and run the ball great.

1250
00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 4: And they're still they're still running brotherly shoves right with centers.

1251
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:40,160
Speaker 4: They can barely move, which I was concerned about, but

1252
00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 4: you know, they make it work. Mackay Beckton comes over

1253
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:46,640
Speaker 4: and you know, the story out of New York was,

1254
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:50,000
Speaker 4: you know, this is an abject failures and he was

1255
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 4: consistent all season long, Like one, had a huge block

1256
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 4: on the Saquon run to the right side and then

1257
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 4: touchdown where they just He's got so many dudes that

1258
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 4: can make plays in the benefit of getting two guys

1259
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 4: to come in as rookies, and it's like, oh yeah,

1260
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 4: I hope they contribute. Quinnon split at an all pro level,

1261
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,439
Speaker 4: like not just late in the season, like middle and late.

1262
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: They took the Britagene with a nice pass breakup. Had

1263
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: had six tackles in this game.

1264
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 3: He was good.

1265
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 4: So the places like they needed to improve, they improved

1266
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 4: in free agency and in the draft like that they

1267
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 4: got hits where they needed to and that's what I'm

1268
01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 4: gonna win.

1269
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:35,840
Speaker 6: I would agree with you on that, and I'm sure

1270
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 6: we'll do that in the next week, two weeks ahead.

1271
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 6: But ever since the Chip Kelly exile of Howie Roseman

1272
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 6: ended and he moved back over to his rightful side

1273
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,320
Speaker 6: of the building, he's been the best general manager in football.

1274
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 6: He has consistently constructed a winner. He has overseen a

1275
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 6: Super Bowl champion, a team that got to the Super Bowl,

1276
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 6: a change in head coaching regime, a quick rebuild, a

1277
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 6: fluid rebuild, a quick turnaround. He has taken big swings

1278
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 6: in the draft that nobody saw coming, and they've pretty

1279
01:01:01,640 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 6: much all paid off. And you know, I like how

1280
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 6: you brought up the difference between their most recent Super

1281
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 6: Bowl team in this one, the depth and the defensive line.

1282
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 7: He knew that was a weakness. They were a veteran

1283
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 7: leaden group that year.

1284
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 6: They're going to get in Lyndval Joseph, you know, the

1285
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 6: year after, and they're relying on guys like Javon Hargrave

1286
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:18,800
Speaker 6: and everything else. They go and resupply. They go to Georgia,

1287
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 6: where they've got the best defensive players in college football.

1288
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 7: Get them repeatedly they don't care.

1289
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 6: Bring them all here because they're good, blue chip players

1290
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:28,960
Speaker 6: and they're all playing well and they're all succeeding as

1291
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 6: a result. You got to give them all the credit

1292
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,200
Speaker 6: in the world for doing that and then being aggressive

1293
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 6: and free agency and saying, you know what, we will

1294
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,120
Speaker 6: top the Giants offer just enough to get you out

1295
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 6: of New York in over to Philly, Saquon and add

1296
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 6: another piece and maybe the final piece of this puzzle.

1297
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 7: We'll see if it ends up being a Super Bowl

1298
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 7: winning puzzle.

1299
01:01:43,240 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: You mentioned the Georgia Bulldogs. Let's listen to one of them,

1300
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 1: Nolan Smith after the game talking with our friends Stacey

1301
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 1: Dale's for NFL Network on Complimentary Football.

1302
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 2: Man, just offense and defense working together. Man one hand

1303
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 2: washes the other. Special teams is the soap in between. Man,

1304
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:04,560
Speaker 2: That's what I love about it. Hey, man, those guys

1305
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 2: we all play our hearts out every game, and then

1306
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:09,040
Speaker 2: that's what I just want to see, you know, God

1307
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:10,280
Speaker 2: smiling and happy out of this.

1308
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: Let's listen to Nolan again, just because I like the

1309
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 1: vibe that he's bringing and I like it when guys

1310
01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 1: swear man just grit.

1311
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 6: Man.

1312
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 2: We talk about man, if they don't score, they don't win,

1313
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 2: and you know they put up some points. But man,

1314
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 2: we go out there and play defense with prime man

1315
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 2: and that's what I love about Philly and it's just

1316
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 2: like the city that we live in.

1317
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 3: Man, we played defense tough and hard knows. That's right.

1318
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 3: I hope they had that.

1319
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess I wasn't live on NFL networks so

1320
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: they didn't have to bleep it. Good job, Noan Smith

1321
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: and that entire defense which could get a big addition

1322
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:51,200
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. Brandon Graham asked after the game

1323
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:54,680
Speaker 1: in the locker room by some reporters about whether he

1324
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: could possibly return. This has been bubbling up in Philadelphia

1325
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 1: leading up to this week. Know for instance, Zach Berman

1326
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:06,160
Speaker 1: has mentioned it on his podcast, and Brandon Graham said

1327
01:03:06,440 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 1: he had a meeting on Monday morning with the medical

1328
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 1: staff the Eagles, and we're going to see what happens.

1329
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 1: We're going to see what happens after some tests, and

1330
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: so there's a chance that they could get an extra

1331
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 1: pass rusher who would be a great, a great bonus,

1332
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: nice team and has a nice history in Super Bowls,

1333
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 1: which Tom Brady's in attendance for this time. Tom won't

1334
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 1: be on the field, but you know Tom will be

1335
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: there in the booth.

1336
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe he'll make some mentions of that. Of that particularly,

1337
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 4: we got a Nick Foles shout out yes, Tom, referencing

1338
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 4: the ball.

1339
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 3: He handled that well.

1340
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 1: At first, Kevin Burkhart brought up that Nick Foles was there,

1341
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:52,680
Speaker 1: and there was like a protracted, awkward silence, which happens

1342
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: pretty often in Tom Brady broadcasts, and I was like,

1343
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: oh man, you're not going to just take this poorly,

1344
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,920
Speaker 1: are you. And then he made a good so it

1345
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: was a human moment where he said he's just jealous

1346
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 1: that Nick caught his pass and Tom Brady did not

1347
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 1: catch it.

1348
01:04:07,440 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 4: It's all because he was trained in the crucible of

1349
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 4: the most discussed celebrity roast of all time.

1350
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 1: For some reason, that was the most points by the

1351
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: way shuck in a conference championship game ever, not by

1352
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 1: the Eagles, but but combined the total of seventy eight points.

1353
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 4: Look at that NFC East teamwork working together to accomplish

1354
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 4: a goal NFC beast.

1355
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 3: So you say you're already leaning one way.

1356
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 6: I do like that.

1357
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 1: The Eagles are an extremely credible opponent. I guess that's obvious,

1358
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 1: but the Chiefs feel so inevitable that and I know

1359
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:52,040
Speaker 1: it didn't happen this way last year, but even the

1360
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers felt a little inevitable to me, And

1361
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 1: of course it wasn't inevitable.

1362
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 3: Sports are never inevitable.

1363
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: It went to overtime, and they were a really good

1364
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 1: forty nine Ers team, And yet this Eagles teem the

1365
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: way they're coming in with all this talent. Uh, the

1366
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 1: opening line out in the Desert was one and a

1367
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: half for the Chiefs. That is sounds just about right

1368
01:05:11,960 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs would be slight favorites, but not heavy favorites.

1369
01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 1: And maybe it's not the one that America was rooting for.

1370
01:05:21,320 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 1: I feel like people wanted the Bills certainly today, and

1371
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:26,840
Speaker 1: if the Ravens had made this game, they would have

1372
01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:29,400
Speaker 1: wanted the Ravens. But it's a hell of a Super Bowl,

1373
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 1: and I do think the Eagles are much better representative

1374
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 1: from the NFC than the Lions would have been or

1375
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 1: any of the other teams that could have possibly made it.

1376
01:05:39,600 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: I think the Eagles' highest ceiling is so much higher

1377
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 1: than the others, and in their base we've seen this

1378
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 1: year is pretty darn good.

1379
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 6: I don't know, ye, Marty spin it's a clash of

1380
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:52,920
Speaker 6: the Titans. I think that the only weakness in this

1381
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 6: matchup is Kellen Moore. That's the only thing that concerns

1382
01:05:55,640 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 6: me about the you know, I mean, Vic Fangio just

1383
01:06:01,600 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 6: did a great job defensively with a team that's extremely talented.

1384
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 6: They're going against an offense that's methodical but can also

1385
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,280
Speaker 6: catch you by surprise sometimes. And you know what Spags

1386
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 6: brings on that defensive side against this Eagles offense. It's

1387
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 6: gonna be a hell of a Battle're gonna have the

1388
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 6: next two weeks to talk about it. I'm fired up

1389
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 6: about it, and I think that it's the Super Bowl

1390
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 6: that we deserve, even if people are tired of the Chiefs, because.

1391
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,400
Speaker 7: Look, let's face it, I know we're tired.

1392
01:06:21,440 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 6: We were tired of the Patriots when they were winning, right,

1393
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 6: But you have to acknowledge and appreciate greatness when it's

1394
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:27,919
Speaker 6: in front of you. And this is an incredible run

1395
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 6: and maybe the Eagles will be the team that dethrones

1396
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 6: the Chiefs and everybody will be happy. But we'll find out.

1397
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, that's one of the best

1398
01:06:34,480 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 3: Super Bowls I've ever seen.

1399
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 1: I don't need to go through the whole like Andy

1400
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 1: Reid against the Eagles thing all over again. Although it

1401
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 1: is kind of a thing, it's a thing. It's hard

1402
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 1: to ignore. It's a different Andy Reid now. Shout out

1403
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: to Andy Reid going for fourth down, by the way

1404
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 1: on his own forty yard line, having a sense of

1405
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 1: where they were in the game. I know, like, we're

1406
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:55,200
Speaker 1: not talking about that game anywhere, but I thought that

1407
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 1: was the most Andy Reid has found fourth down religion

1408
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 1: than any moment of his entire career. It was a

1409
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:04,120
Speaker 1: subtle moment and that came it was on his own

1410
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 1: forty I was actually stunned Andy Reid was going to

1411
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:09,640
Speaker 1: go for it. And you mentioned Howie and all the

1412
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 1: great jobs. I mean that he's done. How about that

1413
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 1: analytics department. They've invested more in analytics, and that's what

1414
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 1: tells you to invest in those big offensive linemen and

1415
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: defensive linemen.

1416
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 3: That's part of the strategy.

1417
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 1: And the head of their analytics department, Alec Halliby, getting

1418
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:28,120
Speaker 1: it done. Didn't get a job in this GM cycle,

1419
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 1: but they're building up that team. I mean, he'd be

1420
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:32,880
Speaker 1: a great candidate one of these years because this team

1421
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,439
Speaker 1: just they keep getting it done to the point where

1422
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 1: everyone's coping them.

1423
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 6: Now.

1424
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, shout out to Hannaby, like out there in the

1425
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 4: lab cooking up the algorithms for fourth downs and all

1426
01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 4: the machinations and the beakers are bubbling, and then the

1427
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 4: paper spits out to Andy Reid and he's like, Okay,

1428
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 4: we're gonna run the play we always run.

1429
01:07:50,560 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly, And yeah, you know you don't need numbers.

1430
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 6: I can tell you right now without all the numbers.

1431
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 6: And I very much appreciate analytics. It always starts and

1432
01:07:57,840 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 6: ends in the trenches. You could have came to me

1433
01:07:59,240 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 6: for that.

1434
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 4: We're going to have We're gonna have fifteen rolls to us, right,

1435
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 4: He's gonna we're gonna have option in the flat and

1436
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 4: he could run it and you can pass it and just.

1437
01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 7: Give him one hot That's all I ask.

1438
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:12,440
Speaker 5: And I'm Brady and I'm thinking Vic Fangio is is

1439
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 5: gonna have a plan.

1440
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:16,799
Speaker 3: That love it. It's a great matchup, Yes, and sports

1441
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 3: is not inevitable.

1442
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:21,479
Speaker 1: When when Madison Keys won one of the most stirring

1443
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: sporting championships I've ever seen at the Australian Open, over

1444
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:27,840
Speaker 1: the week, and I thought of the very rant that

1445
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:32,960
Speaker 1: Patrick Claybond made last week about how the people who

1446
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: say you couldn't do it, that they never could do it,

1447
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 1: that they don't have the championship medal inside of them,

1448
01:08:38,840 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 1: that they never pay for their sins in the end.

1449
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:45,240
Speaker 1: And I know people listening don't follow Tennis close into shill.

1450
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 1: This was the ultimate version of that. A person who

1451
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 1: had been dismissed so many times as a choker that

1452
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:56,080
Speaker 1: at this point they were completely ignored as even a

1453
01:08:56,200 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: real candidate to do something not only one, but one

1454
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:03,799
Speaker 1: with one of the greatest runs of excellent play against

1455
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 1: the best possible field ever. So if that's possible, we

1456
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,600
Speaker 1: could absolutely get Kellen Moore in a one and a

1457
01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 1: half point underdog.

1458
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 3: Eagles team to dethrow these Chiefs.

1459
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, Alnis Wady to become the new head coach of

1460
01:09:14,840 --> 01:09:15,719
Speaker 5: the New Orleans Saints.

1461
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 7: Look you gets on the plane of New Orleans, dammit.

1462
01:09:18,680 --> 01:09:22,400

1464
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: all the coaching machinations.

1465
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we have a new Cowboys coach.

1466
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Pete Carrollson back in the NFL and he's

1467
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:34,720
Speaker 1: a Raiders coach. What we're gonna do all that on

1468
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:38,400
Speaker 1: Monday show? I just felt like that deserves its own conversations. Yes,

1469
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 1: and we will be doing a show on Monday with

1470

Speaker 3: Football's back.
