Straight Fire for Monday, 3 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: December twenty seven, final week of the year begins. That 4 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: was our last Sunday of NFL. For next Sunday, it'll 5 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: be two. Is a big week. I know a lot 6 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,479 Speaker 1: of people off work. We will try to do a 7 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: podcast every day. I can't guarantee it. Uh, there's some 8 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: travel in the forecast for yours truly this week, and um, 9 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to do some family things, so I 10 00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: cannot promise a podcast every day. Obviously, if you're hearing 11 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 1: this now, you will then be listening to me. Hosting 12 00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: the Dan Patrick Show today with Jeff Schwartz should be 13 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: a fun one. I think we'll probably do, you know, 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: two hours of NHL lockout, not lockout, but NHL postponements 15 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: due to COVID, and then maybe some NFL oh gosh, 16 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,280 Speaker 1: the NFL. It would listen. Guys, you were with me 17 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: for the ride. It was a great run, one of 18 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: my better Survivor runs, given the pot and the money 19 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: that was at stake, But I finally lost. In Survivor 20 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: twenty people were left I took the Chargers. I know 21 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: you guys follow me on the Graham and um, you 22 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,279 Speaker 1: know a lot of you sent messages. Um. I felt good. Listen, 23 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: they were favored by ten and a half. Its steamed 24 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: up to thirteen on Sunday. Okay, the favorite by thirteen. 25 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: I'm like, what, What's what's going on here? All I 26 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: noticed was that there were I believe nine starters out 27 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: defensively for the Texans, and there was no Brandon Cooks, 28 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: who had been really their only offensive weapon for the 29 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: last few weeks. And I'm feeling good. And the only 30 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: other game I was looking at was the Falcons because 31 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: they were playing uh, Tim Boyle and the Lions, and 32 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: we know the Lions, um can't string together two wins 33 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: in a row. Um. So I really like the Falcons. 34 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: But all we got, you know, my my thing all season. 35 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go go too deep on this, but 36 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: my thing all season had been Jason, don't flip flop 37 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: when you go with your first instinct. It had driven 38 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: me this far. There were a couple that I wanted 39 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: to flip off of, and I would have ended up losing. 40 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: So I didn't change off the Charges, and I lost. 41 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 1: The Chargers thirteen point favorites get smacked around by the 42 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: Houston Texans, and you know, I guess, do you want 43 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 1: to find a silver lining? Like? It was one of 44 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: those games where it wasn't in doubt, It wasn't tense 45 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 1: deep into the fourth quarter. You could tell in the 46 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: first half after Herbert through an interception, and the Texas 47 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: just kept coming coming down the field and scoring field 48 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: goal missfield goal, touchdown, like they're not hunting, and it 49 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: just kept getting ugly, and you know, you just start 50 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: to start to feel it, and you're like, all right, well, 51 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 1: twenty people left, twelve of us are on the Chargers. 52 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: At least I'm not going down solo and justin Herbert 53 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: then throws a pick six late and it was a rap, folks. 54 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: What what can I say? I mean, the Chargers, no bossa, 55 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: no pass rush. Obviously it was. It was an abomination. 56 00:02:55,400 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: The penalties were awful. Um the three turnovers, the Herbert picks. 57 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: They gave up six point eight yards to play to 58 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. The Texans, it was bad. Davis Mills, 59 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: Rex Birkhead, Yeah he's still alive, He's still playing football. 60 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: Had a hundred and forty nine yards rushing, I mean 61 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: the average six point to pop. They got guys catching 62 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: the football. Brevin Jordan's I've never heard of him. I 63 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: don't know who that is. And you know, um, obviously 64 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: this is what compounded matters and really stung. So you 65 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:33,520 Speaker 1: lose Chargers and Survivor fine in fantasy and my big 66 00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: money league where the where the commission is a kind 67 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: of a d bag. Had Justin Jackson is one of 68 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: his starters this week and in for Eckler, Well, Justin 69 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: Jackson goes off and had like thirty something points. He 70 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: also had Davante Adams thirty something points and Tee Higgins 71 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: who had like the career game over thirty points. So 72 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: in that fantasy league, I got dusted and it was 73 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: over by you know, the one PM game. So, um, 74 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: not great in survivor, not good in one fantasy. I'm 75 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: in the championship with the other Ennecy my son is 76 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: it going to be in the championship in another one. 77 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: His first time doing a league, so I'm really proud 78 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: of him for that. But it was a chaotic Sunday 79 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL except for the afternoon's late stunk and 80 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: then Dallas versus Washington was like not a game at all, 81 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: And I don't know if anybody watched much of the 82 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: second half, Like I mean, seriously, forty two points in 83 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: a half. The highlight of that game is college teammates 84 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: on the Washington sideline paint and Alan going at it 85 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: and Jonathan Allen throwing a punch of his teammate and 86 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: I had to rewind it and my daughter's like, is 87 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: he bleeding? I couldn't tell if it was like, you know, 88 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: some helmet maroon that came off on his face, or 89 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,279 Speaker 1: like blood from a punch, but he definitely connected on 90 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: It was crazy Washington melting down. Their season is over. 91 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: But I think for the NFL, you've really got to 92 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,360 Speaker 1: start with the resurge and Buffalo Bills. Do you not? 93 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: The Bills are back. They put it on the Patriots. 94 00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: Nice impressive win on the road in Foxborough. And I 95 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: saw this stat that kind of shocked me. Bill Belichick 96 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: is now coached three hundred and nine two games with 97 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,359 Speaker 1: the Patriots. He's never had an opponent that did not 98 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: punt the ball, and the Buffalo Bills did not punt 99 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: against the Patriots. Up and down the field. Listen Josh Allen. 100 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: Remember how he was like an m VP candidate, Like 101 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: this was the MVP candidate. This was the guy that 102 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: we expected to see all season. He was magnificent. Three 103 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: touchdown passes, timely runs, crucial, tough third down runs, a 104 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: couple of flips here and there. No Cole Beasley, no Davis, 105 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: no problem, Isaiah McKenzie. Plug him in eleven for you know, 106 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: Mac Jones again. You don't want to say he's losing 107 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 1: the offensive brook of the year, but this is two 108 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 1: straight weeks stepping up in class. He did not look 109 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: good against the Colts. He did not look good against 110 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: the Bills. Two interceptions, hundred forty five yards passing, look confused. 111 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,479 Speaker 1: This was early season Mac Jones. And the thing about 112 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: the Patriots, if you can get them into a deficit, 113 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: Mac Jones is not coming back to win games. He's 114 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: just not wired like that. This guy is a game manager. Okay, 115 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: he had made He's making all the throws when he's 116 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 1: front running against the Browns and against the Chargers. But 117 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: when you're playing the Bills and the Colts, who, by 118 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 1: the way, are probably two of the six best teams 119 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,040 Speaker 1: in the league right now, Mac Jones is gonna struggle, 120 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,159 Speaker 1: and you just have to think, at this point in 121 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 1: the a f C, it's the Kansas City Chiefs who 122 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 1: will get too shortly. And after that you could make 123 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: a case for the Colts and the Bills. And and 124 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 1: you know what, the Colts smacked the Bills around badly 125 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 1: in Orchard Park. Um. I think they scored forty and 126 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor had like five touchdowns. Folks, his Colts team 127 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: is for real. Um, they really hurt me. Saturday night, 128 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: Christmas Night. You know, I have a great Christmas Day 129 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: with the family. I forgot to open the podcast witching 130 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: everybody a great Christmas. We we got fans is sending 131 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: me d ms on Instagram from London all over the world, 132 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: and I forgot to say I hope everybody had a 133 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: merry Christmas. Anyways, you know, it's been a couple of 134 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 1: days in the NFL kind of on the mine. Um. 135 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: You know that that Arizona game against a cold Saturday night, 136 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: Like it's just one of those dumbfounding games where you 137 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: you're like, I think I had the right side here. 138 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: I was on Arizona. Uh, And then all of a 139 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: sudden they named Quintin Nelson out and Darius Leonard out 140 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: due to COVID and I'm like, oh, awesome, line goes 141 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: up on me. I was at pick, was at one, 142 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,119 Speaker 1: it goes up to three. Feels awesome. Arizona for the game, 143 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: more yards, more yards per play, They did not turn 144 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: the ball over, they punted once, and they had sixteen 145 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: points and they lose the game. Well, the kicker really 146 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: was awful. Prater shanks to field goals, misses an extra 147 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: point and you know, listen to the chorus is getting 148 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: loud in Arizona about Cliff Kingsbury. And I don't think 149 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: there's anyone under a bigger spotlight this week than Cliff Kingsbury. 150 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: He does not have his best receiver, DeAndre Hopkins. What 151 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: that's gonna be an excuse. It's late in the season, 152 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: He's lost three in a row, and now he has 153 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: to face arguably bodest team not named Green Bay, the 154 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, who just did whatever they wanted to rival Washington. Okay, 155 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: and oh man, you feel a little Where there are 156 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: scenarios um on the internet, I'm not going to read 157 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: all of them. Where the Arizona Cardinals missed the playoffs. 158 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: They have ten wins and they can miss the playoffs. 159 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: That's how stacked the NFC is. They have Dallas next 160 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: week on the road that will not be easy. Looks 161 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: like they're probably gonna be over a field goal underdogs 162 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: Seattle in the season finale. Now, the Seahawks obviously are 163 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: really in a bad, bad way. They let Nick Foles 164 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: come down the field and beat them and then get 165 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: the two point conversion and they the Seahawks lose as 166 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: a touchdown favorite at home to Nick Folds in Chicago. 167 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 1: When you let that sink in, you're like, oh my god, 168 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: that that really happened, folks Seattle. And this is crazy 169 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: because I have a buddy who was is in a 170 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: contest and he I think he had Seattle and survivor. 171 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: And you know, he wrote me this message that said, 172 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: Seattle first team this year to lose multiple games leading 173 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 1: by double digits in the fourth quarter. Both of them 174 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 1: were at home. They remember that Tennessee collapse early. But 175 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:22,559 Speaker 1: this is the crazy part. So Seattle's leading by seven 176 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: with eight minutes left, third and five on the Bears 177 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 1: nine yard line, So they're in the red zone right 178 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: third down. All you need, you know, running in the 179 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, drive for the touchdown. Whatever Russell Wilson 180 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: gets sacked, they lose like fourteen yards. What's That's something 181 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson never does. He doesn't take bad sex. 182 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 1: He's always like throwing it away. It's like Russ has 183 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 1: been bad this season. He takes a huge check and 184 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: they missed the field goal and the Bears pull off 185 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: the wind like that is a gut wrenching loss for Seattle. 186 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 1: Another season has already been over, but it's like, oh 187 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 1: my gosh, this you just you feel bad for Russell Wilson. 188 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: It is definitely over for him in Seattle. I don't 189 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: know where he ends up. Uh, Pete Carroll, I don't 190 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: know if he has a landing spot. Somebody reminded me 191 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 1: via text that he had. He just signed a new 192 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: contract in and it's like, are you sure they're dumping him? 193 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: Are we sure they're moving on? For peat Carroll that quickly. 194 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: They just signed to an extension last year. They go 195 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: him a lot of money if they keep them. So 196 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: what do you do yet? Trade Russ and you you 197 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 1: have like a seventy what seventy two year old peak? 198 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: Carroll organized a rebuild there with no draft pick due 199 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: to the Jamal Adams situation. Oh man, it is getting 200 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 1: ugly in Seattle. Um, they host the Lions next week, 201 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: and um they lose that game. Oh my, start talking 202 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: about Peate Carroll getting fired.

Speaking of coaches in trouble, Mike Tomlin Pittsburgh Steelers. 207 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: I know they're kind of in the playoff hunt, so 208 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: people want to give Tomlin a pass. But guys, when 209 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,959 Speaker 1: you look at how unprepared this team is for football games, 210 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: you know, like, I'll never forget this. I've used this 211 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: um story a couple of times, so you know. I 212 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,640 Speaker 1: coached my kids in basketball and in third grade, my 213 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: son had a pretty good team and we had like 214 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,719 Speaker 1: the best point guard in the league. And Um, a 215 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: buddy of mine who does listen to the podcast, he 216 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: had schemed up a defense when we were facing him. 217 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,680 Speaker 1: They were they had lost one game, we had lost none, 218 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,319 Speaker 1: I think, and they come out with this defense that 219 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: totally we were unready for. We're just not ready for 220 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: it and they're crushing us in the first half, and 221 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: it took me like a quarter and a half to 222 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 1: realize what we needed to do. And then we figured out. 223 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: We made a comeback, but ultimately we were not able 224 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 1: to win. And afterwards I just had to give it 225 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: to him. I was like, damn, we were not ready. 226 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:58,959 Speaker 1: And you know, the rest of the season, we were 227 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 1: never unprepared for anything. And in my daughter, when I 228 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: was coaching my daughter in first grade with another dad, 229 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: we knew that this team from like the local Catholic 230 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: school was good. They had two good players who were 231 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 1: two of the best in the league. And you know, 232 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 1: usually first grade girls basketball, it's like come on, you know, 233 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 1: just playing zone and you know, passive and I was 234 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: like no, no, no, no, no, We're gonna do a 235 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,840 Speaker 1: triangle in two and the other coaches like, oh okay, 236 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 1: let's like yeah, And we knew who their best players were. 237 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: And any time they got inside and the no no 238 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: defending inside like the three point arc, not real three 239 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: point arc, but you know the arc. If you play 240 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,679 Speaker 1: any youth basketball with your kids, any time the girls 241 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 1: got inside the arc, we hugged him up. They could 242 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: not even get the ball and they didn't know to 243 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: like go outside the ark and get it. And anytime 244 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: they came back and we're all over them, and they 245 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: they are two best players, like didn't score for the 246 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,320 Speaker 1: first like three quarters. We annihilated them. But a dad 247 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: on the other team was not thrilled with it. So 248 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 1: when the girl finally scores, he's like, we're ware to 249 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: beat that box in one. I was like, actually, it's 250 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: a triangle in two. And he looked at me like, 251 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: who is this jerk? And I was like, yeah, I 252 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: was relishing the victory. But all this is the my 253 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: long winded way of saying, Mike Tomlin has come into 254 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 1: the last what is it, last six games of the 255 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: first half, and the seats Pittsburgh Steelers have been outscored 256 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: a hundred and fourteen to nineteen in the first half, 257 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: just total no shows. They played Kansas City and you 258 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: know it was like ten and a half no Kelsey. 259 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: So you're thinking, out, man, you know, could could could 260 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh scheme something up here? Is there a chance, folks? 261 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: It's twenty three nothing in the first half. Pittsburgh has 262 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: not scored a first half touchdown in five games. I 263 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: think that is streaked. That's the longest in like eighty years. 264 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: The graphics flashed on the screen. So Mike Tomlin somehow 265 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: seven seven and one. It's like escaping criticism. I know 266 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,719 Speaker 1: he's bulletproof. He's Mike Tomline. They love him. You don't 267 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 1: want Pittsburgh doesn't just dump coaches. But a hundred and 268 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: fourteen to nineteen in the first half, you been outscored. 269 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: That is like indictment of coaches preparing their teams. And 270 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,480 Speaker 1: it's not like you've got a young quarterback. You've got 271 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: with thirty seven year old Ben Roethlisberger, it's a veteran. 272 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: I'm sorry he's been I'm sorry I clicked on his 273 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: his name thirty nine years old is Ben Roethlisberger. I 274 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 1: mean the running game is non existent, and the offense 275 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: is all like in basically in like a phone booth. 276 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: They one step because Ben's not mobile, one step pass, 277 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: two steps past, like they're not doing anything that you 278 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 1: know they cannot do play action in Pittsburgh. It just 279 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: won't work. I mean, the offensive line won't hold up 280 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: Ben's and mobile, and it's just it's really ugly to watch. 281 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: They had one pass, one pass completed, over twenty yards 282 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: to Claypool. That's it against the Chiefs. Now at this 283 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: time we got to talk about the Chiefs being arguably 284 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: the best team in the league. Mahomes look sharp again. 285 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: Three touchdowns, No Kelsey um the run game, you know 286 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: at were to Hilaire did get dinged up. I don't 287 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: awesome touchdown run. But I mean, at this point, does 288 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 1: it really matter who the running back is, whether it's 289 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: Darryl Williams, Derek Gore, somebody named Michael Burton. Uh, you know, 290 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: they just handed the ball off the dudes and the 291 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs are really just getting it done offensively, defensively. 292 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: Just let the sink in for a second. Byron Pringle 293 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: lead the Chiefs in receptions with six. Byron Pringle, Gore 294 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: had three, Hardman at three. Tyree Hill had two catches. 295 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: I feel like they were on like the first drive 296 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: and then he did nothing the rest of the game. 297 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson like this was just one of those Andy 298 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: Reid performances where it's like, you know what, it's not 299 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: really how you start, guys, it's it's how you finish. 300 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 1: And right now, Kansas City, at one point they were 301 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: four and five. And since that Titans loss, they scraped 302 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,600 Speaker 1: by the Giants. They get by Jordan's love the Raiders, 303 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: you know, do the stupid Raiders if we're not going 304 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: to defend you the way we should. Um, they get 305 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: by the Cowboys and what was something of a struggle 306 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 1: when the offense still wasn't clicking. Uh. Nice one over 307 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: the Broncos and they murder the Raiders again. And since 308 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 1: that Chargers game that Thursday night er great win. You 309 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: know we could still go back and say, hey, Man 310 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: Staley could have won that game. True. Um, great overtime win. 311 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: And now the annihilated Steelers. And this week they have 312 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: the Bengals and folks again, it's Monday, and it's a 313 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: long week. COVID obviously should give people pause of where 314 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: they want to bet. I already bet on the Chiefs 315 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: against the Bengals. My guess is the public comes in 316 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,280 Speaker 1: heavy on Cincinnati. Cincinnati just scored over forty points. Again, 317 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 1: public loves offense. Uh, Joe Burrow had over five yards passing. 318 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 1: By the way, if you guys watch that Joe Burrow up. 319 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: But I don't know what are they have twenty points 320 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter with like a minute left is 321 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: still chucking bombs down the field. Okay, they just be 322 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: careful with that stuff. You you you don't want to 323 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: be rubbing it into teams, especially like a rival like 324 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,240 Speaker 1: the Ravens hardball room. Remember that. I mean, he's gonna 325 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 1: remember both losses. They got their butts kicked. But I 326 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: like the Chief next week against the Bengals, even on 327 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: the road. And um, I'm very curious if you guys 328 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: remember what happens when the Bengals, you know, actually play 329 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,160 Speaker 1: good teams. We we don't remember that because they've been 330 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: pretty good of of late, right, Denver not a good team. 331 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: They barely need him. Ravens. I mean they started a 332 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: guy who was on the Jets a month ago. Josh 333 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 1: Johnson was on the Jets like a month ago, and 334 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: like six weeks who he's on the Jets practice squad. Okay, 335 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: he's just started for the Ravens. They have nobody in 336 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: the secondary. Okay, don't get too excited about that win. 337 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: Remember step up in class niners loose Chargers went in 338 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 1: there with a good offense and destroyed them. They play 339 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: a bad Steelers team. When they play a bad Raiders team, 340 00:17:55,080 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: win play a good Browns offense loss. OK so just 341 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: remember when the Bengals have to play teams that can 342 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: move the football, Kelsey will be back, presumably Mahomes and 343 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: Hill and all them play. I think Kansas City puts 344 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 1: it on him. And if you don't think the Chiefs 345 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: are the favorites in the a f C. After that 346 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 1: that went over the Chargers or this win um Sunday 347 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: against the Steelers, just wait till they beat the Bengals 348 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 1: and then finally maybe you guys will understand that's the 349 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: best team in the a f C. The NFC is 350 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 1: much more modeled. I will I'm not gonna go through 351 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,040 Speaker 1: all the games. It was nice to see TB twelve 352 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 1: go on the road in Carolina and you know, basically 353 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 1: right his defense to victory seven sacks. I mean, jeez, 354 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: that Panthers defense carried them. Um. I don't know what 355 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: Matt Rules doing. I will say this, Matt Rule, the 356 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 1: coach of the Panthers, who I like the higher I 357 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:51,680 Speaker 1: like when he did did Joe Brady thing. I thought 358 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: it was a decent move to go out and get 359 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 1: Sam Donald like. I mean, honestly, I can't argue with 360 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,719 Speaker 1: any of those moves. And then Rule all of a sudden, 361 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, like two months ago, started to get 362 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: wacky with some of these decisions, and for whatever reason, 363 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: he's hell bent on running the football. And he came 364 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 1: out and said one of the more insane quotes that 365 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: I've seen, uh this season, where he's talking about jay 366 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,080 Speaker 1: Z and he's basically like, Hey, I am gonna continue 367 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,479 Speaker 1: to run the football. This is what I want to do. 368 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: And I told our team it took jay Z seven years. 369 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,240 Speaker 1: He had to start his own agency to become an 370 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: overnight sensation. It takes time. That sounds good and it's funny, 371 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: but that's one thing in the NFL. They don't really 372 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: give you. Now Again, everybody wants his head and I'll 373 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: come on, rules in over his head. Listen, you gotta 374 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 1: give the guy some time. This is what season number 375 00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: two at Teddy Bridgewater and now he's got Sam Donald. 376 00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:01,719 Speaker 1: We don't know what he's gonna do next season. They 377 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 1: were desperate this year too, so they went out and 378 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 1: grabbed Kim Newton. I liked what Carolina had earlier this year. 379 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 1: They're clearly not that close. But does he really think 380 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: anybody's gonna get seven years in the NFL, like Gere's 381 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: coaches fired after one year two, I mean Cliff Kingsbury. 382 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: This is year three, I believe, and there's rumors about 383 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 1: whether or not he's coming back, whether they want him 384 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: back if they don't make the playoffs this year. So 385 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 1: Matt rule Man, just be careful out there. These NFL 386 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,640 Speaker 1: guys are ruthless. I personally think that they will hold 387 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: onto him. Remember, they've got one of these um hedge 388 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: fund dudes, and they don't like to be paying multiple coaches. 389 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: That's inefficient, you know, I think you let rule hang around. 390 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: You still got a lot of work to do. There 391 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 1: didn't there I gotta google it. But I believe their 392 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: first round draft pick of the cornerback they got got 393 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: hurt early and hasn't played at all. Um, again, what 394 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: was one cornerback? And it totally yeah? J C. Horne, 395 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 1: the young guy played three games out of South Carolina. 396 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 1: Look good early, Um, listen, McCaffrey missed more than half 397 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: the season. I think we have to be a little patient, 398 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: But again, nobody wants to be patient with anything. I 399 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: still remember coming out to l a UM and I 400 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 1: was an impatient guy. It was like, oh yeah, six 401 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,640 Speaker 1: months of TV and I'm doing this that I'll come, 402 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: I'll be getting my own show. I'll be making millions 403 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 1: and dominant. It's like Jay, slow your roll. Like nothing 404 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: happens in life that quickly. What are they The elevator 405 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,159 Speaker 1: to success is out of order. You gotta take the stairs. 406 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 1: Matt Rule needs to be patient. The problem in the 407 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: NFL is a lot of guys they don't want to 408 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: give you that patience, which I think is unfortunate. Um. 409 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: You know, Tampa Bay though kind of banged up, and 410 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: I think they could probably still make a run. But 411 00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, I uh, I don't think this 412 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: team is going back to the Super Bowl. Uh. In 413 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 1: the NFC, it pretty much feels like it's got to 414 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: be the Green Bay Packers. I'm I like Philadelphia, but 415 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 1: there's still you know, they haven't beaten I saw stat 416 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 1: they haven't beaten a team with a winning record yet. Um. 417 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: The Rams are another team that I've started to fall 418 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,240 Speaker 1: in love with multiple multiple times. And then every time 419 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,240 Speaker 1: you feel like how the Rams are there? They got 420 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: at Stafford's getting his act together, They're getting healthy, care 421 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: Makers is coming back. They go out and Stafford throws 422 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: three interceptions, two of them deep in his own end, 423 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: basically keeping the Vikings alive. It's like, what are you doing? 424 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: Stafford was pretty atrocious and they were able to you know, 425 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: they get bailed out by I think it was a 426 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:44,119 Speaker 1: punt return or a kick return for a touchdown. The 427 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: defense was really really strong and um yeah, they get 428 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: to win in Minnesota. Overall, though not one of Stafford's 429 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: finest moments, given what he did, what he had done 430 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: last week. UM, three picks, didn't even throw for two 431 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: yards a large he pulled the ball out of his hand. 432 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:03,679 Speaker 1: Um McVeigh had seen enough, so he's like, let me 433 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,400 Speaker 1: just you know, Sony. Michelle Henderson got hurt, by the way, 434 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: which is never a good thing when Henderson goes down, 435 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: but Cooper Cup is still there. Ten for one, o nine. 436 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: Ramsey I thought did a good job on Jefferson when 437 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: I saw them matched up. He ended up with eight 438 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: for one sixteen. But they were down I think twenty 439 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 1: seven and they had to come back. It was thirteen 440 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: three in the fourth, so they were just chucking and 441 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,480 Speaker 1: ducking late to try to come back. But Stafford's got 442 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: to tighten that up. I mean, I guess the second 443 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 1: best team in the NFC is the Cowboys. We've been 444 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,960 Speaker 1: on this earlier. I think we've burned ahead of the market. 445 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: Cowboys are covering machine. They now are the best cover 446 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: team in the NFL. The Packers did not cover Saturday. Cowboys. 447 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: The prices just keep going up on Dallas, Man, this 448 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: team is really strong defensively, the offenses appears fully healthy, 449 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: and I don't know, there's a lot to like about 450 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,400 Speaker 1: Dallas right now. This is the tough problem for Arizona. 451 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 1: They go Sunday to Jerry World and that game. I'm 452 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: worried about Arizona guys um, but overall, I think those 453 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: are the biggest takeaways the Chiefs right now best team 454 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: in the a f C. I would argue best team 455 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: in the NFL. I think the Packers. I think Packers, Packers, Cowboys, 456 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: and then the Rams are a little distant. You know, 457 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,680 Speaker 1: forty Niners, if you um, if you listen to Friday's pod, 458 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 1: you know we still like the Niners. Bullish on Garoppolo, 459 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: just it's just a tough one man that that defeat 460 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: against Tennessee. It's one of those games where you just 461 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 1: scratch your head. You're like, how did they lose that? Oh, 462 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,400 Speaker 1: Jimmy g stinks that's why. Okay got it? Yeah, they'll 463 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 1: be fine.

Here's your best bat? 469 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: All right, just a quick I'm not gonna do much 470 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: on Monday Night football. I did take Miami in the contest. 471 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 1: Now the lines and the contest are frozen, so it 472 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 1: was pick them when they set the line early in 473 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 1: the week. I think it was like Thursday morning they 474 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: set the lines. Well what happens Thursday? Was it afternoon 475 00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: or maybe a Friday morning. But Ian Book is going 476 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: to be the starter because Taysom Hill and Trevor Simeon 477 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,800 Speaker 1: are in COVID, I mean guys. Ian Book, the Notre 478 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: Dame kid is gonna be He's never thrown an NFL 479 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: pass in his life, and he's going up against the 480 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 1: Miami defense with Flores and Um the cornerbacks. Howard Like, 481 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,359 Speaker 1: it's a little bit dangerous. Uh, for Ian book buddies 482 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: at home and the Saints defensive should keep him in it. 483 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: So I did take Miami. I would not I definitely 484 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,120 Speaker 1: would not advocate backing. Uh Miami favor by three here, Um, 485 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: you know, if you can find a two and a half, 486 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: take it, but Miami. Just think about it, Miami favored 487 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: by three on the road, Like that's just long term, 488 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: that's not a winning strategy.
