00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 5: semester all this, and we find a place to go

25
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 5: sit and have a bite to eat, which has now

26
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 5: become a staple. Good cheese curds, right, and you know yeah,

27
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 5: And it's one of those places where on the menu

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 5: it tells you where everything on the menu comes from.

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: Here's where beef.

30
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 5: Here's where you get our potatoes here, and I know

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 5: you know where. Here's where we get our cheese, like

32
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 5: you name it all the way down to every bit

33
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 5: of produce.

34
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 6: But we're sitting were watching.

35
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 5: The game, and we get to the point where we're done,

36
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 5: right because I got an early show with Greg co

37
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 5: Sell on the network. I'm not and I'm not really

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 5: drinking for a while now, whole health whatever. And so

39
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 5: we're done with our meal and there's still like twelve

40
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 5: and a half minutes left.

41
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 6: I'm looking at my daughter.

42
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 5: I'm like, I can't we can't keep this table, Like

43
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 5: we're not spending any more money. It's a Saturday night.

44
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 5: I'm feeling bad, like if someone wants to come and

45
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 5: have a meal, or beer or whatever. It's like, she goes,

46
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 5: I go put put it on your your prime. Let's

47
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 5: let's bring that up. And so we go sit in

48
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 5: the car and we're watching it in the in the

49
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 5: rental and we're banging on the hood and losing our

50
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 5: minds in the final minutes and people are walking by,

51
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 5: like the hell's wrong with these people? Which was made

52
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 5: for a fun little ending. But as I'd left our

53
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 5: you know, our our help, our server, waitress, whatever term

54
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 5: we're using, she's she was telling me how she's a

55
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 5: big Lions fan, and so like basically did Ben Johnson

56
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 5: said blank them both that she goes, well, you know,

57
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 5: I'm sorry. I'm like, well, until there's two minutes left,

58
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,359
Speaker 5: it really doesn't matter anyway, right, and she goes, ah,

59
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 5: you know whatever, have a good night. And then this

60
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 5: is what we watch, you know, big time. Even though

61
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 5: you're down several folks, right, you lose Trapillo, you lose Edwards,

62
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 5: you you lose these these bodies down the stretch. Trapillo

63
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 5: is able to get off the field so you don't

64
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 5: have to use the time out. Like all of these

65
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 5: things come come into into play, and then that Caleb

66
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 5: Williams throw to DJ Moore is something that I mean,

67
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 5: you can't script it any any better, you can't execute

68
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 5: any better. For so, for all of the the debates

69
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 5: of some of the misses, I mean that throw is example,

70
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 5: you know, forty two from this year of that's why

71
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 5: he's different. And when this finally all does come together

72
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 5: and we assume it does, it's it's even a more

73
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 5: dangerous thing. So Ben Johnson will be saying blank everybody

74
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 5: before it's done. But you know, to actually have you know,

75
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 5: a Bear's team win twice over a Packers squad and

76
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 5: come back like they did, I mean, I'm old enough

77
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 5: to remember when Lynn Dickey and and Don Mkowski were

78
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 5: still running the so to actually win two games, not

79
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 5: in a five year period, but in the same year,

80
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 5: I don't, I don't know, this feels weird.

81
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 4: Mkowski was helped by replay, there was there was that

82
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 4: portion of it. But uh but the uh, the funny

83
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 4: part about like what happens in these moments and I

84
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: think that we can all agree and you talk about

85
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 4: the touchdown pass, but it's the fourth and eighth, yeah,

86
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 4: you know, down eleven like those like that's funny to

87
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 4: me on how stuff just ends up becoming lore because

88
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 4: it's not the highlight, because it's not the winning touchdown,

89
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 4: but it is the play that changed everything. Like if

90
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 4: you're a Green Bay you think that you know the

91
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 4: game is over and if you get that stop at

92
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 4: that point and then it's it's not. And by the way,

93
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 4: not everything went the Bear's way, like it wasn't like

94
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 4: a perfect storm of things. Certain things did, for sure,

95
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 4: but like Green Bay, you know, not getting out of bounds,

96
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 4: you know, or getting out of bounds I should say,

97
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: you know in a couple of those in instances to

98
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 4: not run clock.

99
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: I thought, was all right, that's kind of bad on

100
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: Green Bay.

101
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 4: But I don't think that Chicago got like all of

102
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 4: the breaks that you thought would need to go your

103
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 4: way when you're down twenty one to three at the

104
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 4: half and.

105
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 1: Still figured out and found a way to do it.

106
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 4: And Carrie Rhodes and I were in on Monday on

107
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 4: the Network and you know, we did our Sunday show

108
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 4: as well. He's like, you know, if I'm the Bears,

109
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: I just try to go tempo early because when you

110
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 4: get Caleb Williams in that tempo, he's just darn good.

111
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 4: And to your point, of everything that you think that

112
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 4: he is. If you can get him in those tempo situations,

113
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 4: he can thrive, and he sure did Saturday night.

114
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 6: Yeah.

115
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 5: I mean we've watched it all season long, right, first

116
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 5: halves have been slow, Right, whatever you're playing up the

117
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 5: chess match or however you want to try to explain

118
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 5: it away. A lot of these first halves are slogs,

119
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 5: and you're down to this big deficit because your defense,

120
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 5: and we've talked about it on the podcast all year, guys,

121
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 5: is like it's not good. There's opportunistic created a lot

122
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 5: of turnovers, al Harris's defense, some backs and everybody getting

123
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 5: after it, no question about it. But when it comes

124
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 5: down to it, like the offense until there's that blinking

125
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,239
Speaker 5: red light saying now it's time to go to work,

126
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 5: it's just a slog. And you know you mentioned the

127
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 5: pass to a dunees like that's the one that will

128
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 5: be in the home, you know for him, right, you

129
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 5: know the DJ Moore was the touchdown a couple of

130
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 5: weeks ago in that big spot. But yeah, as you

131
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 5: mentioned that, like that's that those are the throws that

132
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 5: are creating this stuff of legend and belief. But you

133
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 5: know for Matt Lafleur, it's always the I don't I

134
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 5: don't want a guy to get fired, right, especially when

135
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 5: there's not an obvious better option.

136
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 6: But trying to explain.

137
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 5: Away how you coached away at twenty one to three

138
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 5: lead and the field goal kicking unit did not help you, Right,

139
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 5: a man has had a terrible game, but that you're

140
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 5: still not able to dial up enough in a day

141
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 5: and age where you get to run run the ball

142
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 5: and it's it's a minute off the clock every time

143
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,839
Speaker 5: you run it, even if the guy falls down on

144
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 5: his face.

145
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes sense to me.

146
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:12,239
Speaker 4: I just I think that Packer fans are just fed

147
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 4: up and I don't think that they woke up reading

148
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: the reports that Lafleur is likely going to be back

149
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 4: next year and felt good about it. And I hear

150
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 4: a lot of well, if you don't want this guy,

151
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 4: find a better solution, And I don't know if there

152
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 4: is one out there, John Harbaugh I think on the

153
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 4: surface would be I don't know if that's what green

154
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 4: Bay needs, but green Bay needs to find somebody to

155
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 4: close out these games.

156
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: And Packer fans. I said this on Sunday.

157
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 4: That I think that because because it's not Philadelphia, because

158
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 4: they're not, you know, loud like the Bears fans. Maybe

159
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 4: like their their fan base gets misrepresented on like the

160
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 4: passion they have for their team. You know, we hear

161
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 4: the Minnesota nice for the Upper Midwest. Maybe some of

162
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 4: that has done with Wisconsin. But they're ticked off. They're

163
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 4: sick of it. They don't want to lose to the Bears, obviously,

164
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 4: especially after having all the success that they've had, and

165
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 4: more importantly, they want to win Super Bowls and to

166
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 4: have the Buccaneers NFC Championship game and the way that

167
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 4: it did with the conservative call in kicking the field goal.

168
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I've been after that for years.

169
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, add all of them up.

170
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 4: You know, you can go on to the forty nine

171
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 4: ers when they had a lead couple of years ago,

172
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 4: you know in San Francisco, they had the home game

173
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 4: and they were up ten to nothing and playing on

174
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 4: an ice rink basically, and let the forty nine ers

175
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 4: come back in and what they didn't score offensive touchdown

176
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 4: or whatever the stat was with the forty nine ers,

177
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 4: but they blocked the punt and then they were ended

178
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 4: up kicking a couple of field goals to win the game.

179
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 4: Now they're frustrated, and I don't know how much. I

180
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 4: don't know how much hope that's the wrong word. I'm

181
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 4: trying to figure out the right word. But moment him

182
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 4: going in the next year with Matt Lafleur as your

183
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 4: head coach. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I'm reading too much

184
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 4: into it. Jordan Love looked great, Dob stepped up, Matthew

185
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 4: Golden finally got into the end zone. But I just

186
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: don't know how much on the green Bay side of things,

187
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 4: you know, Matt Lafleur is sticking around is maybe the

188
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 4: best thing for Green Bay.

189
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: I just I don't think that it is.

190
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 7: Guys, I always get a little confused with stuff like this,

191
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 7: and and I get that the chatter is going to

192
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 7: be there, especially when you keep losing playoff games like this.

193
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 7: But when a guy like Matt Lafleur has the sustained

194
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 7: success that he's had in the league, in a tough

195
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 7: division with multiple quarterbacks, I just I'd be hard for

196
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 7: us to get rid of a guy like that, especially because,

197
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 7: like I feel like there's this sentiment that when a

198
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 7: guy loses playoff games a few years in a row,

199
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 7: that we start to think like, Okay, he can't do

200
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 7: it then, and I just don't think that's the case.

201
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 7: I think each year is different, each year should be

202
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 7: viewed in a vacuum. And while he obviously is having

203
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 7: issues with blowing these especially this game was like egregious.

204
00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 7: But to me, it's like when you have a guy

205
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 7: that's shown that he he's a good coach in this league,

206
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 7: you want to give him lots of tools and lots

207
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 7: of opportunities to get you over the hump. At least

208
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 7: that's the way I see.

209
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know, Dan enumerated all the end

210
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 5: of games, right, You've got leads, you've played as well

211
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 5: as you can, and you somehow can't close the job.

212
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,199
Speaker 5: I'll never forget when the field goal unit came on

213
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 5: and Rogers like, all right, all right, tough guys, you

214
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 5: and then they give the ball back to Brady, and

215
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 5: well it's history. And for those first couple of years

216
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 5: ran rough shot right, thirteen win seasons right off the jump.

217
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,079
Speaker 5: The division sucked right, The Lions were terrible, the Bears

218
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 5: have been awful all along, and Minnesota was good enough

219
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 5: to sting you once in a while, but certainly not

220
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 5: a juggernaut. So you had your run of the division,

221
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 5: you had your chance, and now everybody's caught up. It

222
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 5: would would be how I guess I would answer that.

223
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 5: And again I'm not used to having any coach that

224
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 5: you'd said, that's the guy I want long term, right,

225
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean that's a whole different world. Like

226
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 5: when we extended the Tomlin conversation as we will, and

227
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 5: even Harball getting let go last week and all of

228
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 5: those things, like it just becomes the all right, we're here,

229
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 5: we got a to B.

230
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 6: How are we getting B? Two C? And is this

231
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 6: the guy to do it? After what is it now?

232
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 6: Seven seven years, Dan.

233
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, seven years, six playoff appearances, a couple of NFC

234
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 4: Championship games back to back in his first two years,

235
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 4: those were thirteen win seasons, as was his third season

236
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 4: when they went eight to nine, nine and eight, eleven

237
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 4: and six and nine to seven and one with two

238
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 4: exits in the wild card game. For these past two seasons,

239
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 4: ians In's Ian's not wrong right in what he's what

240
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 4: he is saying. I just also look at Green Bay

241
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 4: though not that it's fool proof, but this may be,

242
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 4: this may be an error and thinking this way, but

243
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 4: the organization has run so well that they'll be able

244
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 4: to find their guy that has success, that they're not

245
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,959
Speaker 4: going to just churn through coaches like other organizations do.

246
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 4: And I think that that's that's something that's different about

247
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 4: green Bay, and it's not just the head coach. I

248
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 4: think that I think it would be fair to also

249
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 4: say that the team who lost five in a row

250
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: when Michael Parsons went down also hasn't necessarily had a

251
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: chance to build around Michael Parsons because the trade happened late,

252
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 4: and you know, you do give up assets as part

253
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 4: of that build. But maybe if there is a view,

254
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 4: if who knows if Jeff Hafley is going to be

255
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 4: around for that vision, that they would they would have

256
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 4: to build around Michael Parsons, that could be another reason

257
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 4: for keeping the floor. I just I just feel that

258
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 4: apathy is going to start to set in, and if

259
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 4: you give them a deal now and it happens again

260
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 4: next year, then I think you're kind of stuck, and

261
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 4: maybe green Bay then would pull the plug and move on.

262
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 4: Maybe they don't love the candidates in this cycle and

263
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 4: feel that there could be other options elsewhere. But I

264
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 4: just think that blowing that twenty one to three lead

265
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 4: when he was already feeling the heat. Yeah, it's I'm

266
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 4: surprised that they are still thinking about bringing him back.

267
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: Mostly.

268
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, organizational stability does count for something, yeahcause we certainly

269
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 5: have very few organizations that have operated that way. With

270
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 5: a long view and your point, Dan, you know Micah

271
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 5: Parsons coming in late and what that did to a

272
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 5: defensive in hell. Look, I'm no big fan of Matt Eberflus,

273
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 5: but it's not exactly the same defense that you've been

274
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 5: planning to run all off season. When suddenly this guy

275
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 5: gets taken out. Yeah right, say nothing of what happened

276
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 5: with your secondary and injuries and effectiveness and whatever else.

277
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 5: But you take Michael Parsons away, every other guy is

278
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 5: compromised from what you expect him and his role to be. Likewise,

279
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 5: in Green Bay, he shows up and then you're starting

280
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 5: to get some momentum and starting to roll. He gets hurt,

281
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 5: and all of a sudden you're scratching and clawing. You

282
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 5: lose Tucker Kraft, who is your most effective, consistent I

283
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 5: need a shot, you know, I need this first down guy,

284
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 5: and suddenly he's not there and became more of a

285
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,520
Speaker 5: mismatch down the field, so you know on both sides

286
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 5: of the ball. Look, injuries happened to everybody, right, every team.

287
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 5: You know, you got a laundry list, and nobody goes

288
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 5: through unscathed. But those are two pretty big chess pieces

289
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 5: for how they want to operate. That got taken off

290
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 5: the board.

291
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: Well for the first days. It continues.

292
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 4: The Ben Johnson rivalry, which Packers bears is back to

293
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 4: being on top, and that's a good thing for the

294
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 4: National Football League and Jordan Love. Even then the loss,

295
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 4: you know, three twenty three and four scores, so you

296
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 4: at least and then you get, as you said, get

297
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 4: Tucker Kraft back next year.

298
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: Who knows when Parson's going to be available.

299
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 4: People guestimating or he's saying maybe not week one or two,

300
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 4: but could be soon after that. We shall see a

301
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 4: long offseason for Green Bay. We'll dive more into the NFC,

302
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 4: what the Rams did to the Panthers and really what

303
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 4: the Niners did to the Philadelphia Egos. Plus a look

304
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 4: at the AFC playoff picture with wins by the Bills,

305
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 4: Texans and the New England Patriots. I almost forgot the

306
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 4: Patriots I had to go through the schedule in my head.

307
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 4: If you can tell, it's all coming up next. He's

308
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 4: Ian Roddy, that's Mike Carmen. It's all next here, and

309
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 4: I want your flegs all right, Patriots fans, don't be mad.

310
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 4: It's not that you forget a bull. It's just the

311
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 4: performance put forth by the Chargers on that Sunday night

312
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 4: was maybe easy to forget. But nevertheless, Patriots move on.

313
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 4: We'll get to the AFC in a little bit. Props

314
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 4: to the Panthers, you know, for playing the game that

315
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 4: they did, and maybe we shouldn't have been shocked considering

316
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 4: that they beat the Rams. They were able to get

317
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford to turn the football over again, Mike, any

318
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 4: concerns with the Ram or is this just maybe the

319
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 4: matchup that they have with Carolina ends up putting them

320
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 4: in you know, good football games, competitive football games. But

321
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford and Ams will be fine. How do you

322
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 4: come out on a win over Carolina?

323
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 5: Well, kind of an odd thing that you gave up

324
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 5: thirty points to Carolina twice because they certainly were not

325
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 5: a juggernaut. Now you've got these seeds of malcontentedness, Rico

326
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 5: Dowdell complaining about his role in the post game, talking

327
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 5: about his future and whatever else. So you've got that

328
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 5: now hanging in the balance for twenty six. But for

329
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 5: the Rams, I mean, you have to be worried about

330
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 5: their secondary gettable and as much as we can extol

331
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 5: the virtues of that front when they get home, well

332
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 5: when they don't, they're exposed. Right, they're not good on

333
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 5: the edges, and in a matchup against Chicago, which we'll

334
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 5: review in preview in earnest here, that's problematic. They also

335
00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 5: the special teams has been suspect all season long, kicking, punting,

336
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 5: in return game. It's all been compromised at different points

337
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 5: to where they actually fired their coordinator a couple of

338
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 5: weeks ago. So Matthew Stafford's got everything on his back.

339
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 5: I mean, the play of the game for me, out

340
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 5: of all of this, you know, I love the past

341
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 5: to Parkinson, that was fantastic was when Puka and Nakua

342
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 5: realized that Stafford threw a duck and played defensive back.

343
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 5: Yeah right, I mean, for all the catches, for all

344
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 5: the heroics everywhere else, like that was the best play

345
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 5: of the game because it ended up saving a turnover

346
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 5: and it ended in a touchdown drive. But yeah, there

347
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 5: there are certainly some concerns rolling up good great on

348
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 5: the Panthers that they put up such a fight because

349
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 5: I got tired of the they shouldn't be hosting a

350
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 5: game and how dare you? It's like, until you abolish

351
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 5: the division, shut up, I'm out, I'm you know, you

352
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 5: get your you get your game, go in and win

353
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 5: and go from there. It's unfortunate that you had three

354
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 5: teams with double digit wins get into the three teams

355
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 5: standing with the Bears here in the NFZ. But you

356
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 5: know that offense is going to put up points. You're

357
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 5: not stopping them. It's like, can you win a shootout?

358
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 4: Well, I got bad news. You're never going to get

359
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 4: me to shut up about it because it's dumb. They

360
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 4: should just get in the playoffs. That's fine, but for

361
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 4: them to be able to host a playoff game, and

362
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 4: I mean, the home field advantage definitely helped them out

363
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 4: in this contest. But mand I would have hated to

364
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 4: have seen a wild card weekend. That's that's the other

365
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 4: thing about it. I think when you talk about this

366
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 4: conversation see ye told you weren't going to get me

367
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 4: a shut up about it.

368
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: I just I can't stand. I just.

369
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 4: Imagine if the Panthers won, and then look at the

370
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 4: weekend that we have, Like we also say like it

371
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 4: is a TV show and not that we're trying to

372
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 4: funnel certain teams to the super Bowl, But do we

373
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 4: really want an eight to nineteen to have an advantage

374
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 4: to maybe actually win a game? And then I have

375
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 4: to play the next weekend And people always bring the

376
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 4: Seahawks up of twenty ten to me, and I go,

377
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 4: they trust me, I get it. These Saints got absolutely hosed.

378
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 4: They absolutely did in that scenario. I just don't think

379
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 4: it's the best thing for I don't think it's the

380
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 4: best thing for the National Football League as a whole.

381
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 4: I don't mind them getting into the playoffs. I have

382
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 4: no problem with that. If you wanted to say they

383
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 4: had one home game and then like their seed falls

384
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 4: differently after the fact or whatever, that's fine. I could

385
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 4: take that compromise. But to think that Carolina like could

386
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 4: have gone on a run and then they just would

387
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 4: have hosted all these ten win teams depending on you know,

388
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 4: what happened in the bracket to me would have been crazy.

389
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: So but it's like beating a dead horse.

390
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,160
Speaker 5: Well, but that's just it until they decide to scrap

391
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 5: it's it's an argument that's gonna pop up. I don't

392
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 5: even know how many these circumstances we see on a

393
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 5: regular basically. I mean, certainly got teams creeping in at

394
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,680
Speaker 5: five hundred or just above. It was the unfortunate circumstance

395
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 5: this year where you had three teams that are double

396
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 5: digit wins by for the number one seed that end

397
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 5: up in that road.

398
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, and if there's a way because of those circumstances

399
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 4: you can work around it, I think that the NFL

400
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 4: should should look into it. But the ownership and Mike,

401
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 4: it just goes back to the fact too. And we

402
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 4: talk about scheduling, you know, and they put so much

403
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 4: onus on the division, and that's how much value is

404
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 4: on the division and then your division games in Week

405
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 4: eighteen and certain divisions don't mean a lot. The NFC

406
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 4: sut they did, but.

407
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,359
Speaker 5: It also says that you know, when you have a

408
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 5: division that's bad and nobody gets the benefit of that

409
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 5: just because in that cycle, like all four of those

410
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 5: owners have to say we have no chance, sure, because

411
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 5: we're battling and we're five hundred teams and I don't know,

412
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 5: like this is where the business side of it well

413
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 5: trump logic.

414
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

415
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 4: I think the owners look at it as I'd rather

416
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 4: be three teams than thirteen others, you know, and they're like, Okay,

417
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 4: that's easier, We'll do that deal.

418
00:20:58,680 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: Deal.

419
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 5: You know, it's not a bad way to go. I

420
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 5: kind of like that math myself if I were the owner.

421
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, because that's truly what it is.

422
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 4: So then that may not be fair, but it may

423
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 4: be a better path for them, quite the path for

424
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers. I thought the Eagles had something

425
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 4: on their last drive, then they decided to run four

426
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 4: straight passing plays from the twenty one yard line with

427
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 4: three timeouts in a minute left. It's been my biggest

428
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 4: gripe when Saquon Barkley was obviously your workload throughout that

429
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 4: game with the twenty six carries, but the Niners end

430
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 4: up ninering. Christian McCaffrey two touched on receptions, one of

431
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,439
Speaker 4: those thrown by Juwan Jennings, and now San Francisco bruised

432
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 4: and battered without George Kittle advanced to face the Seahawks

433
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 4: on Saturday night.

434
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, this was an interesting one to watch, right Obviously,

435
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,199
Speaker 5: Barkley running the ball well to your point, Dan, the

436
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 5: fact that it's taken out of his gut, it's like

437
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 5: goes back to Baltimore a few weeks ago, like when

438
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 5: Derek Henry didn't see the ball for thirteen minutes to

439
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 5: close out a game. It's like, this is the thing

440
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 5: that's working your wide receivers. Clearly something's up. Aj Brown

441
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 5: a couple of drops, Barkley had to drop himself and

442
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 5: nothing's connecting. You have the opportunity to run this down

443
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 5: the defense. We've watched San Francisco all year long. They

444
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 5: managed through duct tape and bandages and whatever else because

445
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 5: they don't have their big guys in Warner and Bosa.

446
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 5: But they make it through. And then you call this

447
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 5: kind of game, so it's you know, your coordinator probably

448
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 5: gets fired, but it's won for the forty nine ers.

449
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 5: And then that Jennings pass was beautiful. It's a better

450
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,400
Speaker 5: throw than half the quarterbacks in the league make anymore, right, Right,

451
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 5: And I know he was you know, recruited and all

452
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 5: of that going back, but Christian McCaffrey showing his worth

453
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 5: once again. And how about Kyle Eustcheck the fact that

454
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 5: they were saying on the broadcast how he was always

455
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 5: clamoring that he wanted to be a bigger part and

456
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 5: then Kittle goes down and he gives you half a field.

457
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 6: It's like, I don't know.

458
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 5: Why you wouldn't use him as the juggernaut early in

459
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 5: a game and let him run through people.

460
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see on who steps

461
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 4: up and how they step up. But because they're just it,

462
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 4: at some point it becomes the numbers game on on

463
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 4: who you can use. For San Francisco and with Philadelphia,

464
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 4: you have all the all of these weapons and you

465
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 4: really couldn't use any of them for a variety of reasons.

466
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 4: Whether it was too low, whether it was Jalen Hurts,

467
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 4: whether it's Aj Brown dropping a pass right across the middle.

468
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 4: Like there's a reason why Jalen Hurts threw into triple

469
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 4: coverage on fourth down and ten or fourth down and

470
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 4: eleven on that last drive, It's because it was to

471
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 4: Dallas Goddard.

472
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: Yeah it was, you know, so like there's something to that.

473
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 4: He wasn't by no means was he even open but

474
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 4: that's who he trusted him, that's who he went to,

475
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 4: and it ended up being the bigger problem of it all.

476
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 4: I'm curious to see what the Eagles look like. You

477
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 4: have to think another offensive coordinator change set up in

478
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 4: the offseason, but it's if there's more than that with

479
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 4: aj Brown not gonna be.

480
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be with Jalen Hurts.

481
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 4: But curious to see what the twenty twenty sixth version

482
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 4: of the Eagles looks like compared to what we had

483
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 4: this past year.

484
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 5: It was funny and watching this workout. First off, congratulations

485
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 5: to DeMarcus Robinson. You win the prize because we all

486
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 5: wondered who's stepping up and becoming an option for you here,

487
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 5: particularly as after Kittle's departure. But Robinson right off the

488
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 5: jump that you know, catch and zig zag move all

489
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 5: the way down the field. It's just amazing. But for Philadelphia,

490
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 5: you mentioned that that pass to Goddard, I don't, I

491
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 5: don't know that that's really been used as like normally

492
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 5: that becomes the y Z he throwing into triple cover

493
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 5: that was so far down the list. Yeah, it hurts

494
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 5: right like, I don't that was not a all right, well,

495
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 5: that's just a terrible decision by him. No, No, it's

496
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 5: about AJ Brown's attitude and drops. It's about the play

497
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 5: calling and the vanilla. That's about going away from Barkley

498
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 5: all of that. Trump's the oh yeah he threw it.

499
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 5: There's no chance at hell, Dallas Goddard. I mean, if

500
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 5: he'd come down with that ball, that's the stuff of

501
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 5: legend right there.

502
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 6: But yeah, it's just an odd.

503
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,359
Speaker 5: Season, right because you would have thought Barkley early this

504
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 5: season that maybe they'd be judicious coming off a huge

505
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 5: workload year. But it was clear down the stretch that

506
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 5: while he wasn't back to one hundred percent the dominant

507
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 5: force he was a year ago, the offensive line certainly

508
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,479
Speaker 5: has had it's in injuries and changes that they go

509
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 5: away from it entirely down the stretch, just bewildering.

510
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 7: Or AJ Brown are going to be gone by next

511
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 7: season or they both say.

512
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 4: I think Brown can be gone. I don't think that

513
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 4: Sirianni will be.

514
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 7: Well, we got another Brown blow up on the sideline

515
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 7: there with Sirianni.

516
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he and I think I think it was

517
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 4: Jordanilatta were the ones that were dinged up and they're

518
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 4: trying to get off the field, and so he was

519
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 4: yelling at him for that.

520
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 7: That was the exchange, and then he yelled back. It's

521
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 7: like a pretty valid reason to be yelling at him for.

522
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 4: I feel like, I just don't know how you could

523
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 4: dismiss Sirianni despite I think a lot of us being

524
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 4: through it. But yet at least have to give him

525
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 4: the benefit of the doubt to hire another offensive coordinator,

526
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 4: which I think they'll be their nineteenth to nineteen seasons.

527
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it sure feels like that.

528
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 7: Well, looking across the league though, and look at all

529
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,399
Speaker 7: the guys getting fired. Harbaugh immediately teams want him interview him,

530
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 7: even Mike McDaniel. Teams immediately interview him. If Sirianni got

531
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 7: fired tomorrow, I'm not sure he would get an interview.

532
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: I think he'd get an interview.

533
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, the Titans are interviewing everybody.

534
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 5: I Nan and I are scheduled that they put it

535
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 5: back on Friday.

536
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 7: Well, if he didn't get one from the Titans, that's

537
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 7: that's the ultimate indictment, because they're just like, oh, can

538
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 7: you breathe, here's an interview.

539
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 4: But Ian, don't you think that Sirianni take personal thoughts

540
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 4: because I'm not a fan of his either.

541
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: He hired Kellen.

542
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 4: Moore, and Kellen Moore comes in and they go and

543
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 4: they win the Super Bowl last year.

544
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 7: You know, with him, Kellen Moore had had OC jobs

545
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 7: in multiple other places before that, though, and he was

546
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 7: already seen as like an up and coming offensive mind. Again,

547
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 7: I don't know if it was Sirianni you hired him,

548
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 7: like I feel like Jeffrey Howie Roseman these guys. Same

549
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 7: with Vic Fangio, Like, I don't know if it was Siriani.

550
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 7: I think he's just being being told, like here you

551
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 7: go and that do what you can with it.

552
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 4: But they've had to cycle, they've lost their offensive coordinator

553
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 4: or had to make a change every season. You know,

554
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 4: Stichan leaves after Super Bowl fifty seven. They're bringing Brian Johnson,

555
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 4: he doesn't work out. They're bringing Kellen Moore, he works out,

556
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 4: he gets a head coaching job. So then you're bringing

557
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 4: Kevin Patullo. He doesn't work out. Now you've got to

558
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 4: figure it out again. Like, I think that he's at

559
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 4: least earned the right to be able to hire another one,

560
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 4: especially with the Super Bowl win.

561
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 7: Sure. I mean I'm not firing him right now. I'm

562
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 7: just more making the comment that if he were to

563
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 7: be fired right now, I'm not convinced that he would

564
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 7: be a shoe in for another at least even an interview.

565
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 7: But I see what you're saying.

566
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 6: For sure, Well, I mean you're gonna kick the tires

567
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 6: I think.

568
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 5: I mean, you've had it off success and nowadays, I

569
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 5: mean very few of these are like the College Coast, Hey,

570
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 5: we want that guy. Seems like everybody's getting in for

571
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 5: at least to look see, especially if you had success,

572
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:08,119
Speaker 5: I mean you won with a bunch of seemingly malcontented

573
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 5: folks up and down. You know your roster that counts

574
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 5: for something.

575
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would I would think so as well. And

576
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 4: if for he Morris is interviewing.

577
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 7: For jobs, well.

578
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 4: Nick siriann well, I don't know about that, but Nick

579
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 4: Sirianni would get he you would be if any team

580
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 4: that had a vacancy would have to talk to Nick Sirianni,

581
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 4: you would have to.

582
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't.

583
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 7: I mean, I get what you're saying. I just wouldn't.

584
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: He has a Super Bowl ring ian I know.

585
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 7: So as Doug Peterson, like there's plenty of coaches.

586
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 4: Peterson then got the I mean Doug Peterson then got

587
00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 4: the job, and how'd that work out?

588
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: So it didn't.

589
00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 4: But I don't think that that's in for him to

590
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,479
Speaker 4: not look at the people that are getting interviews. As

591
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 4: Mike said, we're up on Friday in Nashville, so like

592
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 4: like we're up next. Mike Ian's crazy by saying Nick

593
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 4: Sirianni wouldnt get an interviewed.

594
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna get Does he end up with

595
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 5: a job in the cycle, Maybe not, But I think

596
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 5: you've got enough success.

597
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 6: And again, you know when we're talking, we've got a short.

598
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 5: List of guys that are still coaching in this game

599
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 5: that have Super Bowl rings right that to finish the job,

600
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 5: you at least are bringing them in for a conversation

601
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 5: because there's gonna be some practices there that you were

602
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 5: able to operate with a lot of chaos in a

603
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 5: very loud town. So I think that gets you in

604
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 5: the door whether it keeps you and you can sell

605
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 5: them that with the roster as constructed or through one

606
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 5: or two larger dynamic moves, you can get them to

607
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 5: the winner circle. Well, that's that's the cell job, Sirianne

608
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 5: would have to do.

609
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 6: But I don't know.

610
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 5: We got get a guy who had one good year,

611
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 5: one half of a good year Jacksonville, who's getting interviewed.

612
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 5: Now it's Cleveland, so we laugh at it because you

613
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 5: know it's Cleveland. But but the point being, you're you're

614
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 5: bringing in guys that have done almost nothing for interviews.

615
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, because Jason.

616
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 5: Right, you know, like might be the next hot thing,

617
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 5: versus a guy who's demonstrated.

618
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 6: Like Peterson goes to Jacksonville. Jacksonville.

619
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 5: I mean, we up until Duvall and what Liam Cohen's

620
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 5: doing this year. I mean, there's been a lot of

621
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 5: highly decorated guys that have walked through that door and failed.

622
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 6: Herban Meyer came in there, he didn't last a year.

623
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 7: I mean, I guess if you phrase it as like, yeah,

624
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 7: you're bringing them in for a conversation, and like, I guess,

625
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 7: and that's all it is. Sure, I mean, I guess

626
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 7: I guess there. I'm more open to that, but when

627
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 7: it comes to really being a serious candidate and getting

628
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 7: multiple interviews, and again it depends how he interviews in

629
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 7: that first conversation.

630
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 4: But I am I am shocked by this intake like

631
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 4: I am like, like I am blown away that he

632
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 4: wouldn't even interview Nick Sirianni. That is that takes some

633
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 4: oomph understand.

634
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 7: That it's Nick Sirianni. Dan, come on, well you can

635
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 7: stand on the table for like John harboff I was

636
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 7: saying about him, it's.

637
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 4: The same number of rings. They have the same number

638
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 4: of rings. Sirianni's been to more super Bowls. Like, but

639
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 4: it's it's crazy, but it's true.

640
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: We don't have to like him.

641
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 6: But no, but that's the thing.

642
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:22,560
Speaker 1: Give him the respect.

643
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 5: It becomes that thing of is this the gig? Because

644
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 5: I like, if we take the guy in and he

645
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 5: decid you don't like the guy, you chirp it back

646
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 5: at fans or whatever, and you don't want that for

647
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 5: your organization. You decided, you know the sanctity of the job. Right,

648
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 5: because some folks are complaining about Ben Jhonson yelling blank

649
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 5: the packers, like our guys would never do that' like

650
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 5: it's twenty twenty six, right, we don't like nothing operates

651
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 5: by the same rules it did. It was that argument

652
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 5: you know about the woman with talking to Liam Cohen

653
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 5: and Jacksonville.

654
00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 6: Right, nothing's the same as it was forty fifty years ago.

655
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 5: The rules of engagement on a lot of this coach

656
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 5: decorum and how they go through. They're not wearing suits

657
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 5: and fedoras on the sidelines either, right, I mean, it's

658
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 5: just a completely different time.

659
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

660
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 5: And because a guy uses some foul language and gets

661
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 5: a little a little out of sorts of times gets

662
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 5: folks mad. I don't know, I'd have to kick the tires.

663
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 6: I might.

664
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 5: I might come to the same conclusion after five minutes,

665
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 5: And I don't disagree that that would be the case.

666
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 5: But trying to You're trying to bring in the best qualified, right,

667
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 5: and sometimes you don't like the guy who's best qualified,

668
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 5: but you realize that that's what you need for your organization.

669
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are people in Philadelphia that will they'll want

670
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 4: to fire anybody but a Sirianni fans like, there's no

671
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 4: doubt about that. But who would you rather have coaching

672
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 4: the Jets? Aaron Glenn and Nick Sirianni.

673
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 6: You can't punt he gave you in either.

674
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 1: Or I think that's a perfect way to end it.

675
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 7: Do I want ass or do I want.

676
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 6: He went keep it clean?

677
00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 4: This is a family program here on I want your flex.

678
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 4: Maybe we'll have to bleep Ian out.

679
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:17,880
Speaker 1: We'll have to We'll have to see.

680
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 4: Just like the Niners did over Nick Sirianni and the Eagles,

681
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 4: we will take a time out. That is Ian Roddy.

682
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 4: Find them at Ian Roddy Underscore. Find my karmenat Swollen Dome.

683
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 4: You could find me at Dan Bayern fox We will

684
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 4: get to the a f C playoff picture and while

685
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 4: they all transpired in the American Football Conference coming up

686
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 4: next here on I want your flex. All right, let's

687
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 4: get to the a f C. And just to show

688
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 4: New England fans, I didn't forget about them. It was

689
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,080
Speaker 4: just kind of a forgetful game for all the competitive

690
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,880
Speaker 4: contests we had leading up to it. Patriots moving on

691
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 4: against the Chargers. Justin Herbert, poor guy, that's all, just yeah,

692
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 4: just poor guy can't catch a break unless it was

693
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 4: a broken bone. And the Chargers end up limping out

694
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 4: of Foxborough losing it to New England. As the Patriots

695
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 4: get that sixteen to three victory. On the Chargers side

696
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 4: of things, that think we all know what's going on.

697
00:34:13,320 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: You don't have your two tackles.

698
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 4: Their interior offensive line isn't that good have dealt with

699
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 4: running back injuries throughout the year, and even though you

700
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 4: were able to navigate him, I think ultimately was the

701
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 4: most surprising thing is if Justin Herbert actually had time,

702
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 4: his receivers weren't getting open, and I think we kind

703
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,439
Speaker 4: of know who his receivers are now. They're just they

704
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 4: still are searching for that number one guy. And for

705
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 4: as great as Quinton Johnston was in coming back from

706
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 4: his potential bust label to now being a service, serviceable

707
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 4: wide receiver, he's not a number one. Led mccackey can

708
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 4: have great success in the National Football League, but right

709
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 4: now they can't separate from anybody. And Keenan Allen, for

710
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 4: as great as he is, he's just going to make

711
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 4: the catches and not separate from anyone else.

712
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: So Chargers have some growing to do. Patriots end up

713
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 1: moving on with the win.

714
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, Keenan Allen drawing a lot of fire for some

715
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 5: of his nonchalants in terms of getting on and off

716
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 5: the field drop passes. Lad McConkie in his post game

717
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 5: and exit kind of talking about his role and how

718
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 5: unsatisfied he was and pretty salty because a lot of

719
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 5: those targets go to who Keenan Allen. They brought him

720
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 5: back and it changed his role and we had a

721
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,240
Speaker 5: very you know, fantasy owners felt screwed at the outset,

722
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:31,360
Speaker 5: like they got sold to Bill Goods coming off of

723
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 5: last year, and I can understand that frustration. There were

724
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 5: a couple of games where McConkie became a number one again,

725
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 5: but overall a horribly inconsistent run. You talk about the

726
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 5: offensive line, you got Mackai Becton going after Greg Roman

727
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 5: about what they were was like, what so all sorts

728
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 5: of ex linemen coming in going It's not like you're

729
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 5: running this guy's offense like It's fairly straightforward. And for Herbert, yeah,

730
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 5: he did have opportunities. There's no separation, and eventually you

731
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 5: had coverage sacks. Not to say that they were any

732
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 5: good without Alt and without Slater, and certainly what I

733
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:11,399
Speaker 5: think with Alt, I saw the stat that they were

734
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 5: like mid middle tier offensive line in the Just bat

735
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,359
Speaker 5: If you do the rankings and this is all which

736
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 5: one you you know, if you want to hold that

737
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 5: as gospel, but it just proves the point of one

738
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 5: guy can at least elevate you. It's not the NBA

739
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 5: where one player elevates you to potential greatness, but you're

740
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 5: you're serviceable, right, because responsibilities change and you can at

741
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 5: least say, all right, we've got that part covered. With

742
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 5: alt being gone, they go to the bottom rankings, bottom

743
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,439
Speaker 5: three or thereabouts. And Herbert was skittish. When he did

744
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 5: have time to throw. He short armed a bunch of balls,

745
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 5: He missed a bunch of opportunity, missed mconkey on on

746
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,280
Speaker 5: a clear uh open path towards the end zone. Whatever

747
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 5: the hell happened with Hampton, it left them exposed without

748
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 5: another running runner next to Vadell, who had been who

749
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 5: is terribly inconsistent again, you know, some to the offensive line,

750
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 5: but he doesn't see and feel well on a consistent

751
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 5: basis to where there's an opening to extend to play.

752
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 6: And so for Herbert, it just it felt.

753
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 5: Like, and I think this will come up again as

754
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 5: we go through the rest of the FC, it just

755
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 5: felt like you regressed back to that rookie year where

756
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 5: everything was really fast again.

757
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that.

758
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 4: I can't argue that we know that the change is

759
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,080
Speaker 4: going to be Greg Roman. I at some point or

760
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 4: another that's going to end up being the change. But

761
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 4: I think that Lad McConkey has gripes, and you're right,

762
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 4: and there is going to be a point where Herbert

763
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 4: does have to put up her shut up. I just

764
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 4: don't know how you can watch that performance and be like, see,

765
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 4: Herbert's not the guy, right, you know, because it looks

766
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 4: a lot like what we've seen in the past. And

767
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 4: you're right about the offensive line, because not only when

768
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 4: Slater went out, they move Alt from the right to

769
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 4: the left side, and then they were fine until Alt

770
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 4: got hurt and then and then you're down both tackles

771
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 4: and no one's able to play either side.

772
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: And it's just an absolute mess.

773
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 4: But Chargers will have to figure out what they're going

774
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 4: to do offensively with whoever's going to be their offensive

775
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 4: coordinator Patriots and just quickly to touch on them, I mean,

776
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 4: ramondre Stevenson. I feel like they validate me in my

777
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 4: mid season fantasy take on the value of Ramondre Stevenson

778
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 4: even more and more now in the playoffs and when

779
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 4: you're looking to go to guys. It wasn't as much

780
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 4: Stefan Diggs as we would have thought, but Drake May's

781
00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:36,160
Speaker 4: legs get it done, and I for as great as

782
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 4: the other games are marquee wise. Texans Patriots may be

783
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 4: the best of the next of the four that we

784
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:42,240
Speaker 4: get on Sunday.

785
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm excited for that one.

786
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 5: Over under is high at forty one and a half

787
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 5: as far as I see all, well, I mean you

788
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 5: look at the way, I mean big explosives, right, Jess

789
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 5: Mummers defense did all they could to keep them in

790
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 5: that game, and he'll go be a head coach wherever

791
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 5: that's going to be, and they'll have to backfill that

792
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 5: spot as well. But Drake May making plays with his legs.

793
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 5: Stevenson with the big catch and run forty eight yards

794
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 5: was huge, and Hunter Henry that was the dagger for

795
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 5: most folks as he's an ex charger and all for

796
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 5: those that forget his early fantasy days. But they did

797
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 5: a pretty good job against the you know, defensively as

798
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 5: a hole in. Drake May at times you know, made

799
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 5: his mistakes and gave them opportunities to come and steal

800
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 5: the game. But when they needed it, he did it

801
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 5: with his legs, finishing what sixty six yards overall, including

802
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:36,719
Speaker 5: a couple of big scrambles.

803
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 6: I can't wait for that matchup with Houston. That's fascinating.

804
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, it should be really good.

805
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,840
Speaker 4: Mopefully it's as good as Bill's Jaguars was, because that

806
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 4: was a heck of a game. Buffalo's run game shut down,

807
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 4: Josh Allen having two rushing touchdowns, but James Cook just

808
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:55,799
Speaker 4: couldn't get it going, and the quarterback sneak on the

809
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:57,319
Speaker 4: tush push however you want to put it in on

810
00:39:57,320 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 4: the fourth down for all the Eagles, right toush pushes.

811
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 4: That may have been the most significant one we've had

812
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 4: in the NFL so far, because, I mean, the Bills

813
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:10,799
Speaker 4: were a stuff away from losing the game and then

814
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 4: it sets up their game winning touchdown. But I was

815
00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 4: impressed with the Bills resiliency and I'm also just impressed

816
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 4: with the way like Brandon Cooks just signs late in

817
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 4: the season ends up fitting in. I don't know if

818
00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:25,319
Speaker 4: he's going to be the complete answer for Buffalo, but

819
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,920
Speaker 4: for a team that has been looking for somebody to

820
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 4: step up in the wide receiver spot, Brandon Cooks has

821
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 4: been has been great for Buffalo, and I expected to

822
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 4: have have a role when they go to Denver on

823
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 4: Saturday afternoon.

824
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, how big was that sliding catch? Right? The thirty

825
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:39,880
Speaker 6: six yards.

826
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, Gabe Davis done for the for the year, the

827
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 5: ACL they were hoping to you know, it's all duct

828
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 5: tape and band aids, like we've talked about it all year.

829
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:51,359
Speaker 5: It's Cook and Allen and what you can find, I mean,

830
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 5: Kluse Shakers A nice is that twelve catches eighty two

831
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:58,120
Speaker 5: yards those Shanes, right, I.

832
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 6: Mean twelve for twelve so rating.

833
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 5: But you know, Kean Coleman flashed briefly in just as

834
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,720
Speaker 5: fast as he came on with that thirty six yarder.

835
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 5: He was never heard from again. Dawson, Knox and Kincaid

836
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 5: did have the touchdown, but quiet for much of the day.

837
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,200
Speaker 5: That was one where I had the audio accompany with

838
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 5: me on my drive back from Boys, you guys, and

839
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 5: during the radio right, it's like, why are they not

840
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 5: throwing you the tight ends?

841
00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 6: Where are the tight ends?

842
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: And all this?

843
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 6: And then you know he finally gets the touch out

844
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 6: that there it is, well, finally yet there.

845
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 5: But you know for Jacksonville, you know, Trevor Lawrence giveth

846
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 5: he taketh away like he's he made huge strides down

847
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 5: the stretch, a couple of bad balls, Parker Washington coming

848
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,280
Speaker 5: up huge and Brian Thomas. We actually had a sighting,

849
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,160
Speaker 5: so that was great. And Etn gives you what nearly

850
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty total yards of offense. I mean,

851
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,959
Speaker 5: you got everything you could have asked out of that side.

852
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 6: I think of the ball.

853
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 4: I just was that was two good football teams playing

854
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 4: in a good football game. And you know, Lawrence's numbers

855
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 4: aren't aren't aren't great, but that's sometimes what happens. And

856
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 4: they they Jacksonville still made plays. The Buffalo defense it's

857
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 4: been better as of late, still was giving up some

858
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 4: of those points, Travis Etn getting into the end zone

859
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 4: of the reception. It was just a good football game

860
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 4: on Sunday, and Buffalo is able to survive. And if

861
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 4: they're going to be the team of destiny like I

862
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 4: think they are, what a perfect way to start finally

863
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 4: get a road win in Jacksonville and and now go

864
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 4: on the road to try to knock off the top

865
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,359
Speaker 4: seed Denver Broncos.

866
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 5: Nineteen ninety two d nineteen ninety two, last that last

867
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 5: road playoff win.

868
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 6: How insane is that that was?

869
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 4: And it said it was the AFC Championship. Was that

870
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 4: that was in Pittsburgh? I believe? Yeah, I thought that

871
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 4: they had won. And I remember, I'll.

872
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: Tell you what.

873
00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,400
Speaker 4: I remember when Jim Kelly and the Bills were trying

874
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 4: to get into the Super Bowl. You know, they lost

875
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 4: to Boomer Asia Sin and the Bengals in the playoffs

876
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,080
Speaker 4: when Boomer and then went in Super Bowl twenty three.

877
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 4: So I remember the build up with the Bills even

878
00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 4: trying to get there. They lost the playoff game to Cleveland.

879
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 4: I think Cleveland beat them before the Drive game, Mike,

880
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 4: if my memory serves me correct, before Lway beats the

881
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 4: Browns in Cleveland. I think the Browns top Buffalo the

882
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:27,120
Speaker 4: week prior to that. I think Ronnie Harmon had a

883
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 4: drop in that game that could have won it for Buffalo.

884
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 4: But anyway, the point being is it had been a

885
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 4: long time, and that was nineteen ninety two and they

886
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 4: went on the road and that was the gosh, I

887
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 4: think that was the year. And now and watching all

888
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 4: those Bills documentaries where like nobody wanted them back, and

889
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 4: then they ended up winning again and going in but hey, road,

890
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,959
Speaker 4: when they'll take it, even if it's thirty four years later,

891
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:49,560
Speaker 4: and now you're gonna have to win all of them

892
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:51,600
Speaker 4: on the road because with the Chargers lost, there will

893
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 4: be no more games at Highmark Stadium.

894
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:59,040
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean FXT commemorative gloves Dan for the

895
00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 5: snow last year, I did buy a pin.

896
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,439
Speaker 4: I think I may have told you guys, the commemorative pin.

897
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 4: It's stayed in its wrapper a month and then my

898
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 4: son found it, and now I have no idea what

899
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 4: the pin is. The Rappers long gone, yes, but it's

900
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 4: somewhere on the I told him it was special, so

901
00:44:18,680 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 4: I know he knows where it is. It's just I

902
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 4: don't know where it is at this point. It may

903
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,960
Speaker 4: be down by the TV box, but I'm just not

904
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:29,280
Speaker 4: quite sure yet. It will find it amongst the hundreds

905
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 4: of dinosaurs that that are littered throughout the house. Speaking

906
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 4: of dinosaurs, Aaron Rodgers, maybe a terfect segue.

907
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: Sorry, had he.

908
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,919
Speaker 4: Have played his last game on Monday night against the

909
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 4: Houston Texans, And I know it's not the way that

910
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 4: he wanted to go out, but very rarely do these end. Well,

911
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 4: his last pass maybe in the NFL, could be a

912
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 4: pick six. I'm gonna just look on the bright side.

913
00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 4: How about what he marks? How about that Texans defense

914
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 4: stepping up? And again I love that game against New England.

915
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 4: But Houston's Houston's not perfect, but when you have the

916
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,480
Speaker 4: defensive effort in your if you're running the football like that.

917
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 4: We'll have to see what happens with Nico Collins and

918
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 4: that concussion that he suffered on Monday night and what

919
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 4: his status could be against New England. They play Sunday,

920
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 4: so that's a good thing. The NFL wouldn't put him

921
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 4: on Saturday after playing on Monday, but that concussion and

922
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 4: Nico Collins didn't look good. But other than that, pretty

923
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 4: good night for the Texans. Supported on late.

924
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 5: Run for one hundred and sixty four. You get ten

925
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 5: carries also for Nick Chubb in the mix. Look it

926
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 5: helped to offset I don't know what was going on

927
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 5: with Andrews and Stroud with the exchanges all night long.

928
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 5: Just got a fumbling, some bad decisions and Stroud struggled,

929
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 5: but ultimately they're able to overcome all of those things.

930
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 5: You get a big game from Christian Kirk hero of

931
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:57,520
Speaker 5: yesters through with an eight catch and he distributed the

932
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:00,239
Speaker 5: ball around. But Woody Marx was fantastic. He was a

933
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 5: guy we talked a lot on the Fantasy UH week

934
00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 5: to week. You know what kind of touch count and

935
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 5: when Nick Chubb was available, what would that do?

936
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 6: Well? Here, it became the all right, we're ahead, let

937
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 6: to grind down the clock.

938
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:14,399
Speaker 5: Uh. The fact that they were throwing the ball at all.

939
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:17,239
Speaker 5: I mean there was one point where they were they

940
00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 5: were gonna be able to put up when it was

941
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,879
Speaker 5: still you know, one point game. Uh, you can put

942
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 5: up points, and instead he throws the interception, Like why

943
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 5: did you not run there?

944
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 1: Like?

945
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 5: And again that's the you know, the tinfoil hat and

946
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 5: lunaty of it of Like, I'd love the sequencing of

947
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 5: what you were trying to build there because you didn't

948
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:36,279
Speaker 5: need to throw it.

949
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 6: And but maybe you're trying to get him some confidence.

950
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 6: I don't know.

951
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 5: But defensively, just absolutely tortured Aaron Rodgers all night. I

952
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 5: still think the first defensive touchdown should have been a

953
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 5: penalty and that Pittsburgh should have still had the ball

954
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 5: because of the contact with the helmet. But sure it

955
00:46:56,840 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 5: goes the other way. Yeah, I mean he opened hands

956
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 5: slapped him. I used the John Stossel getting hit by

957
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 5: doctor d David Schultz on twenty twenty.

958
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:06,640
Speaker 6: All those years ago.

959
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 5: It's like we see quarterbacks draw flags for far less

960
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 5: on a week tw week basis, he gets clocked in

961
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:16,919
Speaker 5: the head starts to fall.

962
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: Here's the question. He didn't have any idea what Mike

963
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: Carmen is talking about? No, I have no No, I

964
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: didn't think. I didn't think.

965
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 6: So it's a famous go ahead dude.

966
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 1: Yeah.

967
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 4: John Stossel is this reporter for twenty twenty and he's

968
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 4: kind of because he's behind the the would you say,

969
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 4: like the persona of I'm a reporter, you can't touch

970
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 4: me and I've got the mic at a camera, so

971
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 4: I'm going to say what I want?

972
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, sort of deal.

973
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, in essence and uh And who

974
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 4: was it that he went up to that smacked him

975
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 4: in the face.

976
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, so they were doing the wrestling and kind of

977
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 5: going behind the scenes. That's right, uws, that's exploding and

978
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,320
Speaker 5: it's a guy named doctor d David.

979
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,799
Speaker 7: I do know what this is. I actually saw this

980
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 7: my Twitter feed like today, was there like there was

981
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 7: the was was this like, well that anniversary just happened something.

982
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 7: I think it was a wrestler behind the scenes slapped

983
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 7: him in the ear and he sued for like millions

984
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 7: of dollars or something.

985
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 6: He was talking about how well it's all fake.

986
00:48:18,400 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: Like you.

987
00:48:21,320 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 5: Because they're going to show you the metal hip, the bruises,

988
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 5: the broken bones, whatever. And in this case, he did

989
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 5: an open hand slap upside the head like you would

990
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 5: do in a match, except it ruptured an ear drum,

991
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,000
Speaker 5: and well, that's pretty real and that.

992
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 6: But he's laying on the ground.

993
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 2: You know.

994
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 5: It's like when Richard Belzer, who was on Law and

995
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 5: Order SVU, had a talk show way back in the

996
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 5: day and hul Cogan put him in a sleeperhole and

997
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 5: actually put him out and he slipped and he hit

998
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 5: his head on the ground. So like it, it's happened

999
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 5: multiple times. But in this case that's like Aaron Rodgers

1000
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 5: got head slapped like an old school swim move, like

1001
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 5: we would see Deacon Jones and those guys back in

1002
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 5: the day. Dan where we're listening to Jeff Assenda tell

1003
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 5: us all about the NFL films, but back then.

1004
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 6: It was legal. Here, they usually gets you a fifteen yard.

1005
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 5: Penalty and in this case it gives you a Houston

1006
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 5: defensive score which put the game out of reach. And

1007
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 5: then we saw the chaos and two. But they've got

1008
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 5: a lot of questions answering Pittsburgh.

1009
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think one of the questions sure seems

1010
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:30,120
Speaker 4: to be is Aaron Rodgers coming back. No, I don't,

1011
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 4: I know Pittsburgh wanted him back. That's you maxed out

1012
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,279
Speaker 4: like in I think that game was a perfect way

1013
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 4: to show like you're going up against what is a

1014
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 4: really good, maybe the best defense in the National Football League,

1015
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 4: and an offense that also has some limitations. Their defense

1016
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 4: kept them in that game. Yea for those three quarters.

1017
00:49:52,239 --> 00:49:54,720
Speaker 4: I mean it's seven to six going into the fourth quarter,

1018
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,279
Speaker 4: that's all you can ask. It's just like Green Bay

1019
00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:58,960
Speaker 4: in the second half against the Bears. You know they

1020
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 4: scored the one touchdowns, Like, just give us a little

1021
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 4: bit more. That's what they needed to win. Pittsburgh just

1022
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 4: needed a little bit more. Maybe it doesn't turn into

1023
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 4: the thirty to sixth route if you just end up

1024
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,799
Speaker 4: taking a lead at some point and they couldn't do it.

1025
00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 4: I thought that Rogers would have something to play for

1026
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 4: that maybe in Minnesota, that that cast of characters, But

1027
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 4: just right now, the immediacy of it and seeing like

1028
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 4: the grind of what they had to go through and

1029
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 4: what they could produce just doesn't seem like it would

1030
00:50:27,200 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 4: be in the cards for him to return next season.

1031
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, that rosters has got all the questions to go

1032
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 5: along with it, though, right say nothing of the Mike

1033
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,680
Speaker 5: Tomlin thing that they'll rage on short term. Rogers was

1034
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 5: very quick to point out, I love Mike t The

1035
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 5: fact that we're talking about him potentially being fired is

1036
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 5: just dumb. Okay, Yeah, but like DK Metcalf, I mean,

1037
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,720
Speaker 5: you know him and his act from Seattle, Dan very well,

1038
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 5: he's got a long term contract. Okay, so he's your one.

1039
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 5: Austin is now and again does he rise up to

1040
00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 5: where he's number two?

1041
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 6: Friar move?

1042
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,399
Speaker 5: I mean you signed Adam Feelin to trying to put

1043
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 5: up In and Marcus Valdez scandaling. Right, that's where you

1044
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 5: were with the roster, and you look at their twenty

1045
00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 5: twenty six cap space. Their first five players are all

1046
00:51:18,200 --> 00:51:19,400
Speaker 5: defenders that are old.

1047
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:25,760
Speaker 4: Sure, and TJ Watch has got his money. Like, yeah,

1048
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 4: it doesn't. The future does not look bright for the Steelers.

1049
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 4: But to your point in Aaron Rodgers, it's not Mike

1050
00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 4: Tomlin's fault. But I don't know why Aaron Rodgers would

1051
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 4: want to go back to that next season.

1052
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,480
Speaker 1: So here we are. We've got eight teams left.

1053
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:45,640
Speaker 4: Bill's Broncos early game on Saturday, although it's early four

1054
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 4: thirty Eastern timekick, Seahawks home to the Niners eight o'clock

1055
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 4: Eastern timekick, and then you've got the Patriots home to

1056
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,359
Speaker 4: the Texans three o'clock Eastern time on Sunday, followed at

1057
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,879
Speaker 4: six thirty Eastern time by the Rams against the Bay

1058
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 4: I you know, my favorite game is the Seahawks. You

1059
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,439
Speaker 4: know Mike's favorite game is the Bears. Let's just ask

1060
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 4: the impartial party here, Ian Roddy, of the four games

1061
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 4: that you look at this weekend, which one are you

1062
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 4: most excited to watch?

1063
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:17,919
Speaker 7: I'm looking through him right now. I think I'm most

1064
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,640
Speaker 7: excited for that Texans Patriots one. And I know Mike

1065
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 7: alluded to how good of a game that's going to

1066
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,799
Speaker 7: be earlier, But yeah, I don't know.

1067
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 6: Man.

1068
00:52:25,040 --> 00:52:28,879
Speaker 7: That Texans defense, what we saw them do to Aaron Rodgers.

1069
00:52:28,520 --> 00:52:30,920
Speaker 4: That was me, Ian, that was me who loved that game.

1070
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,240
Speaker 4: Just so the record is straight, I did love Texts,

1071
00:52:33,280 --> 00:52:35,520
Speaker 4: not that Mike didn't. But I just want to say,

1072
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 4: you know, I did claim the Navy ball because it's

1073
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 4: Navy in red and white in whatever against Navy red

1074
00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 4: and white call.

1075
00:52:46,480 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 6: It, but I agree. I agree with Dan's assessment. A

1076
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 6: big game.

1077
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:56,440
Speaker 7: Just how good that uh that that Texans defense is.

1078
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 7: Like obviously they've been hailed as one of the best

1079
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:01,280
Speaker 7: or the best in the NFL over the past few weeks,

1080
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,560
Speaker 7: if not the Broncos. So yeah, seeing them go up

1081
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 7: against Drake May, who's possibly the MVP, We'll see what

1082
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 7: ends up happening. That's a clash of Titans right there.

1083
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: I'm exciting. Yeah, yeah, I think it should be good.

1084
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 4: It's it's the best weekend of games, like historically, because

1085
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 4: even the championship weekend, and like, okay, we only have

1086
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 4: two to have what we have in those four games,

1087
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 4: it's gonna be magnificent. And then if you have a

1088
00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 4: team minute like Mike does, or you have a team

1089
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 4: minute like I do, you're rooting for your team, but

1090
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 4: depending on you know, when your team plays, you may

1091
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 4: be having other rooting interests. I know, like you know,

1092
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 4: this past weekend, I'm looking at games and how it

1093
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 4: could affect the Seahawks and pulling for the Panthers to

1094
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 4: knock off the Rams, and it didn't happen, and whatnot.

1095
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 4: But it just gets you involved and it's a great,

1096
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 4: great weekend of football.

1097
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 5: Three NFC West squad remain since none of us picked it,

1098
00:53:52,880 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 5: but we have that Buffalo Denver game out there. Yeah,

1099
00:53:55,239 --> 00:54:00,840
Speaker 5: I thought delicious theater, right because Denver inconsistent offensively second

1100
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 5: half of the year, and we're seeing if Josh Allen

1101
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 5: could put the cape on. Like, I don't like the

1102
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 5: conversation that's been out there. Hey since and forgive me

1103
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 5: if you've you've heard this, I think I might have

1104
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,840
Speaker 5: actually tweeted it or yelled it at some point. But

1105
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 5: the the other night, I was flipping channels as I'm

1106
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,839
Speaker 5: you know, putting some notes together for my Sonday morning show,

1107
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:24,480
Speaker 5: and on ESPN they had professional pillow fighting, like literally

1108
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 5: like six two athletes.

1109
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 7: Ye yes, will have the weirdest thing.

1110
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it was like weighted pillows and then if

1111
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 5: you drop your pillow, the guy's got to step back

1112
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 5: for a second electry Like it was the weirdest damn

1113
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 5: thing I've ever seen.

1114
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 7: They're swinging them too exactly, They're trying to hurt each other.

1115
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1116
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, But the point is, like Josh Allen isn't engaging

1117
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 5: in that competition with Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow or

1118
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:51,560
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes.

1119
00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 6: Or anything else.

1120
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 5: He's got to navigate eleven men who want to take

1121
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 5: his head off. So the hey, this is Josh Allen's opportunity,

1122
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 5: It's like, what do you mean? It's like he's got

1123
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:02,319
Speaker 5: a foster that is far from perfect. We were going

1124
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 5: through it, right, Khalil Shakir is your leader, He's not

1125
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 5: your prototypical boundary X number one wide receiver, and you're

1126
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 5: trying to cobble this together. Defense is good, not great.

1127
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 5: Denver's got a lot of things going and just go

1128
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,280
Speaker 5: on to these other AFC teams, right, they've got elite

1129
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:22,360
Speaker 5: portions to them. But the conversation about Josh all it

1130
00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 5: just keeps making me scratch my heads, like I like him. Yeah,

1131
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 5: and the windows you know eventually the age and you

1132
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,640
Speaker 5: already see it with the foot he can't run the

1133
00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,520
Speaker 5: same way this time, although that tush push seemed to

1134
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:36,360
Speaker 5: work just fine. But it's just that narrative that's swirling

1135
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 5: in the background as this game gets ready for this weekend,

1136
00:55:40,239 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 5: is just one of the narratives in this playoff run

1137
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 5: that just has me scratching my.

1138
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 4: Head I just I just think that they are the story.

1139
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 4: Like I think that like we love we may love

1140
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 4: Texans and New England and what that game may be,

1141
00:55:55,280 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 4: but there's a group of people, and you can include

1142
00:55:57,680 --> 00:55:57,920
Speaker 4: me in it.

1143
00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: They don't want to see New England in the super Bowl.

1144
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 4: Like no, I get yeah, like it's like all right,

1145
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 4: just wait a little bit, hold your horses. But I

1146
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 4: just think that the if like Jacksonville would have won,

1147
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 4: like the weekend we would have gotten in the AFC

1148
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 4: would have been like okay, but there is like it

1149
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 4: was the Bills and Lions, and I think the Browns

1150
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 4: still hold that as well. If they were to get

1151
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 4: in the playoffs, that are they going to you know,

1152
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 4: are they going to make it back. I don't know

1153
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,040
Speaker 4: if Minnesota will ever have that, you know with their

1154
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 4: all and four record, but I think that like those

1155
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 4: sorts of teams you need, and it's the Red Sox

1156
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 4: in the playoffs all those years right when Ian was

1157
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 4: just a lad before they won and O four.

1158
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:38,799
Speaker 1: It's every year, could this be the year? Could this

1159
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:39,399
Speaker 1: be the year?

1160
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 4: And I think that you need that with Buffalo, So

1161
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm glad that they won because I think

1162
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,879
Speaker 4: that that is the story in the in the.

1163
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: A f C.

1164
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:50,280
Speaker 4: We're gonna love all the games. I just want everybody

1165
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 4: else to also love the games in Buffalo being that story,

1166
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 4: I think helps.

1167
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're gone. I mean McDermott looks like he staves

1168
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 5: off elimination. Yeah as well, what is that six stra

1169
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 5: eight years with a win. It's more just the the

1170
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 5: Josh Allen against.

1171
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 6: The world part of the narrative, sure, right, which is

1172
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,000
Speaker 6: all right, he has to win it this year, like

1173
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 6: this is the worst team he's come to the playoffs with.

1174
00:57:12,960 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: I agree with that.

1175
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:18,080
Speaker 5: Yes that, Hey, opportunity knocks, right, he's got to go

1176
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 5: beat up on all the kids.

1177
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 4: Well, it's all tell me, Yeah, it's no Chiefs and Ravens. Right,

1178
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 4: everybody thinks that now this is the window.

1179
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 6: But uh and now might have something to say with

1180
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 6: that too, though.

1181
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you're you're absolutely right about that. We

1182
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 4: shall see. All right, Well let's let's let's call it

1186
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,000
