Welcome to The Dan Patrick Show, where the 0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:40.839 poll questions have taken a turn since the departure of 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.839 bick Lovet. Which would be worse peeing your pants on 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:45.720 the sidelines and then having to play the rest of 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:49.440 the game ninety plus degrees or thirty or lower degree? 0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:52.360 You know, I can't ask you to a question. Occasionally, 0:00:52.560 --> 0:00:55.680 one is swampy, the other's freezing. Yeah, I'd rather be 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:59.320 swampy than frozen. Yes. The problem with the cold weather 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:02.240 is you're gonna be called. Then you're gonna get about 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:05.399 twenty seconds of warmth that you're like, oh, that feels good, 0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:09.240 and then it's frozen. That is terrible. Did you ever 0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:12.680 urinate in your uniform? Oh? Yeah, pretty much every game 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:14.640 from the p and the pants to the ball in 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:20.640 the end zone. Chance We're covering every aspect of the 0:01:20.760 --> 0:01:23.920 NFL playoffs as a tribute to the listeners of this 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:28.800 program broadcasting from the Mercedes Man Cake. This is Dan Patrick. 0:01:30.080 --> 0:01:33.280 Hope you had a great weekend everybody. I'm drained, but 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:37.279 I'll be ready for tonight. Got one more football game, Cardinals, Rams, 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:40.160 good nap this afternoon. I'll be ready Monday night football 0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.560 playoff action. Bengals will be at the Titans, the Niners 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.000 at the Packers. The winner of the Rams Cardinals will 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.040 be at the Buccaneers, and the Bills will be at 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.880 the Chiefs. We spend a lot of time first hour 0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:56.120 talking about the ending for the Dallas Cowboys. They were 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:58.800 one of the NFL's most talented teams this year. They 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.040 were the most penalized team this year. This is a 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:05.000 team that averaged over thirty points per game and the 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:09.480 defense was loaded with playmakers. But the talented Cowboys once 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:13.720 again disappointed the Niners, surprising Dallas. Not a big surprise 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:17.440 because Dallas was only favored by three, but the loss 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:21.560 ends their best season since Dak and Zeke were drafted 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:24.760 in twenty sixteen. But the playoff loss may do more 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.040 than just send Dallas into an early offseason. I don't 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.239 know of. Jerry Jones famously is not quick on the 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:38.480 finger to fire coaches. But Mike McCarthy does Mike McCarthy 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:42.240 have a firm ground to stand on? Would he elevate 0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:46.079 Kellen Moore so he doesn't lose his offensive coordinator? Cowboys 0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:49.960 also have question marks. You know Zeke Elliott, He's due 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:53.440 ten million dollars next year and he's probably not the 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.079 best back on the team. Cowboys got talent. Their talent 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.639 is usually overrated because they're the Cowboys. But it'll be 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.960 an interesting offseason for America's team. And losing yesterday the 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.400 way they lost that leads us to our poll question, 0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:12.959 which loss did you enjoy more? Patriots were Cowboys? Yes, 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:17.600 that's a poor special snark filled Yes, that was not 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.919 nice at all, Way too soon for that. Sixty five 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.560 percent enjoyed the Cowboys loss more. Yeah, I figured we 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.920 have a second hour poll question. We already have results 0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.560 in who is to blame for the Cowboys loss to 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:32.600 the Niners. You can only pick one the officials, Dak Prescott, 0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:36.240 Kellen Moore, the offensive coordinator called the play, or Mike McCarthy, 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.560 who oversaw the whole shebang bang. Well, they didn't lose 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.280 just because of the last play. That's why I'm going 0:03:42.320 --> 0:03:44.800 to put it on Mike McCarthy to start with you. 0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:47.760 And sixty seven other people perc out of the nation agreed. 0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:52.000 Mike McCarthy sixty seven percent, Dak Prescott twenty eight percent. Yes, 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.680 Dak didn't have a good game. And Kevin Moore's the 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:59.920 offensive coordinator. The officials if half of your fourteen panels 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:04.040 are pre snap penalties, I'm not putting this on the officials. 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:10.040 And you know, stop blaming. You know, cowboy fans, cowboys themselves, 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.119 they want to blame somebody else. You got to look 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.680 inward here because that's the only one. That's the only 0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:20.279 way you're going to find answers here. Bengals over the Raiders. 0:04:20.680 --> 0:04:22.760 If we look at the teams that lost this weekend. 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.520 You know, I look at the Raiders and I think 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.640 they had a good year, considering that they had a 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.760 really bad year. You know, you lose your coach, a 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:34.320 couple of your players, you know, one is in prison, 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:40.200 Henry Ruggs. They could have won the game, or they 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.680 could have sent it into Overton, and it feels like 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.240 they got their running back out, their tight end, and 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.919 I like Derek Carr, and I think they've got a 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:53.760 couple of defensive players. Crosby's really fun to watch. You know, 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.479 maybe Derek Carr's in the Hall of Good but you know, 0:04:57.640 --> 0:05:02.640 he seems like he is still capable of producing a 0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:08.280 big play, and they'll probably stick with him. The Patriots, Okay, 0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:12.320 the Bills didn't have a field goal attempt, they didn't 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.880 have a punt, they didn't have a turnover. That's never 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:21.919 happened in the history of the NFL. Patriots have a quarterback. 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:25.920 I don't think they have the quarterback bucks over the Eagles. 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:28.360 I think it was a good year for the Eagles. 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:32.360 At closer look, you realize they were propped up by 0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:35.559 a schedule that they benefited from Great Lake. They didn't 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.520 they didn't beat anybody good. They didn't face an elite quarterback. 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:50.040 The Steelers say alo to Jimmy Garoppolo. I don't know, No, 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.400 I don't know. They didn't have a chance against the 0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.880 Steelers or against the Chiefs. But I'm curious, can we 0:05:56.960 --> 0:06:03.880 ask our stats guys, the wickest five touchdown, the fastest 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:07.320 five touchdowns scored in a playoff game, because I'm going 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.720 to guess Kansas City has that record now after last night, 0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.159 I think it has span a little over ten minutes. 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.880 They scored five touchdowns to blow that game wide open. 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:20.840 But if you're looking at the playoff teams and what's 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.120 the offseason going to be looking like, the Steelers have 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.520 to obviously find their quarterback. Do you draft one? Do 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:29.240 you sign a free agent? Do you trade for one? 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:34.120 Cowboys in the off season. I guess you start with 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:37.599 Mike McCarthy. Are you keeping him? And if you are, 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.039 you're probably going to lose at least one of your coordinators, 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:45.520 Dan Quinn or and or Kellen Moore. You got Michael Parsons, 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:51.119 Treyvon Diggs are those are impactful players. But it feels 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.480 like every year we say, you know, Dallas got talent, 0:06:54.800 --> 0:07:00.720 you got wide receivers, tight end running backs, but you 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:05.280 can't be sacked five times with a four man rush. 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.080 You're the Dallas Cowboys. That can happen. Then that happened. 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.920 Cardinals at the Rams coming up tonight with the winner 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.840 going to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers. Eight seven 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.160 seven three d P show email address tp oft Dan 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:20.880 Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a dp's show. We say 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:23.320 good morning to Peconic or streaming partner. We'll check in 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.680 with the Patriots coming on Tom Curran, who covers them. 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:31.240 I'll ask him if the Patriots have their quarterback or 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:35.920 just a quarterback. Here is Bill Belichick. He was very 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.480 minimal in things he had to say after the game. 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.360 Gradually Buffalo and win tonight. They did a great job. 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:44.320 We just couldn't keep up with him tonight. It's gonna 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:49.200 do much anything. That's his opening statement. You know, usually 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:52.440 you get that elaborate opening statement, and it's it's it's 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.600 kind of a state of the union for our team 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:58.560 and the season, offseason, the opponent you faced. And then 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.440 you got five seconds worth yea coach, going back to 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.800 what you said in your opening statement? Can I mentioned 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:05.960 that was a follow up. I wanted to start expound 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.760 on that a little bit. Uh front row is here, 0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:13.240 Todd is zooming in from home. He's still quarantined, but 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.960 that didn't stop him from giving us a limerick. By 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:18.680 the way, how do you feel? I feel okay, a 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:22.200 little bit of a cough, stuff knows a little just 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:24.960 you know, aches, nothing terrible. It feels like I got 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:29.040 a regular cold. Okay, you want to give us a limerick, 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:33.520 I'd like to okay, feeling sort of joom and gloom. 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:37.000 I stayed inside my room. Why was I losing my groove? 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:41.360 A home test would prove yep COVID. So now stuck 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:47.200 on zoom okay, yea do groove and zoom, Ryan, it's 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.240 it's let it go. You know if M and M 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:52.520 was doing this, he would somehow make that work. But 0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:56.080 groove improve ryme the third and fourth line, got it, Yeah, 0:08:56.160 --> 0:09:01.640 I got it room and zoom okay yeah aabba, as 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.840 the rhyme spek abb I thought it was.

When I venture out, 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:14.839 I have my mask on because I'm the only one 0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:17.120 of the family. Well, my wife's the only one who 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.320 come with that has still tested negative. So we're trying 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.520 to save her from joining our son and daughter and 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.439 myself with the positive test. The most part, I try 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:26.839 to stay in my room. She has not, but she 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.720 considered moving out long ago. Wait before there was a band. Okay, 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:32.400 all right, like that line does a good line? Yeah, 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.040 it's decent. How about you let others pat you on 0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:40.360 the bank? That doesn't that That didn't sound good at all. 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:47.839 That was a little throaty you know. That's that's not good. Yes, 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.800 kind of antibody situation. All right, Well, we we hope 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.679 to have you in later this week. I hope to 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:55.880 be back as soon as possible. All right, phone calls 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:59.240 are always welcome. Mastering. Worst of the weekend, Alan Atlanta's 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:03.120 back high, Al, what's on your mind today? Good morning dad. 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:08.000 Best for the weekend. My little sister and her family 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:11.080 came to visit and we had a pizza extravaganza last night. 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.080 I actually ate an Apple and anchovie pizza and made 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:18.280 me rethink my whole rule about fruit and fish on pizza. 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:21.760 Worst of the weekend due to the circumstances in the 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.520 Bill's Patriots game and a bet I had with my nephew, 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:27.640 I had to root for the Patriots dand it was 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:31.760 the worst feeling ever. Thank you all. Well, at least 0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.640 his worst wasn't the Falcons since they're not in the postseason. 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:38.720 Jeremy in Texas, Hey, Jeremy. Best and worst of the weekend. 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.400 Morning guys. So my worst of the weekend is definitely 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:46.280 my Dallas Cowboys just going down the drain. But at 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.280 the same time, my best of the weekend is the dawn, 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.400 my Dallas Cowboys losing, and it's the best than it 0:10:50.440 --> 0:10:53.120 could have happened to them. They looked absolutely horrendous. It 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:56.839 was a total clown show. Mike McCarty's play calling or 0:10:56.920 --> 0:11:00.360 Mike McCarthy's just game management as a whole, Deck Scott 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.040 not running, Tony Pollard not even being a factor in 0:11:03.120 --> 0:11:06.800 the game, Zeke trying to do his thing, but the 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.480 defense was too fast for Zeke. You know, Zeke's a 0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:11.559 power guy, and I speak guy. Tony Pollard was there, 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:16.360 just everything in general. Dak's scrambling ability is no longer existent. 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:19.120 It used to be pro pro living but yeah, I 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.280 can even talk him so mad. But yeah, Dak used 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:23.719 to be able to run. He hadn't been able to 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:26.160 do that since then. So we'll see what happens as 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.839 off season. I think they need to really take a good, 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.840 hard look at themselves as a whole and definitely as 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.520 a coaching organization. You know, Mike McCarthy has been riding 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.680 Dan Quinn's defense all year long. Look at the games 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.640 they won, and look at the defense. This is why 0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:42.640 they won, not because of Mike McCarthy and really not 0:11:42.880 --> 0:11:45.439 too much because of the offense. Right, That's all I 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.800 got to say, Thank you, Jeremy. Yeah, you know this 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.560 is where Kellen Moore's the offensive coordinator. He's getting all 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.319 this credit, you know, for running the Dallas offense. And 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.760 you see the next head coach somewhere in the NFL, 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:58.960 and he'll probably be a head coach in the NFL. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.760 But I can't play all of this on Mike McCarthy, Like, 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:03.760 some of the blame has to be on Kellen Moore. 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:08.800 He's the offensive coordinator. Mike McCarthy does, and Mike McCarthy's 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:11.839 known as an offensive minded head coach. I thought Dan 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.080 Quinn as a result of that Dallas defense is going 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:17.839 to get a head coaching job again. Yes, he But 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:21.880 you've just been waiting for that Mike McCarthy clock management 0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:24.719 storyline to play out, you know, it's been sort of 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.439 hanging over the Cowboys all year, and man, did that 0:12:27.520 --> 0:12:31.400 strike at the worst time. Yep, yep. And I thought 0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:35.800 Kyle Shanahan had a great game plan and that defense, 0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:40.959 although it wasn't great, it was just good enough. But 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:44.000 you're missing a couple of your star players. But it 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:48.240 just feels like the Niners, you're They're like Jimmy Garoppolo, Hey, 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:52.640 we just win, not always pretty, and you're not looking. 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.160 When's the last time you said, Man, did you see 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:58.599 Garoppolo's stats? Like, you don't, you don't do that. I 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:02.080 don't even know what he was yet day, but usually 0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:05.320 he's twelve for nineteen for one hundred and eighty four yards. 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.240 That's like, that's like his standard. You know, It's like 0:13:08.400 --> 0:13:12.440 it's never enough. I just saw this, Uh this tweet? 0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:18.520 Uh is it Ben Spiegel? Do we know who this is? Todd? 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.880 He covers the covers sports for the New York Times. 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:23.840 I'm not sure on the pronunciation of the least Eagle. 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.480 Since AT and T Stadium opened in two thousand and nine, 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:34.599 the Cowboys have won as many playoff games there as Alabama. 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:39.400 Another clumsy finish left Jerry Jones is disappointed as he's 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:44.040 ever felt after a loss. That's stay out of the 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:49.880 day of the day of the day. Here comes that 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:54.719 what stat of the day? And then you have the 0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.439 punt hit the JumboTron like it was just one of 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.920 those where you go, oh, I don't think this is 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.920 their day, Yeston. That's a sort of a preview of 0:14:03.080 --> 0:14:06.600 my best of the oh, best of the weekend. Okay, 0:14:06.840 --> 0:14:08.760 spending all that money on a new stadium just to 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:12.079 have your receivers blinded by the sun because apparently that 0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:18.280 hadn't been thought out. Another thing like you was, we're 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:20.720 gonna build the stadium here, right, We're gonna build it 0:14:20.880 --> 0:14:24.440 east and west, east and west. You're gonna love this. Hey, 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:28.160 we got sunrise and we got sunset, Boston. We can 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:29.920 cover up the south end or the east end of 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:31.240 the end zone, or the west end the end zone. 0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:34.080 Wee like a tarbet No, I want glass, glass reflects. 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:39.600 It didn't dawn on me as I'm watching, I go 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:44.080 you build a stadium that has sunrise and sunset. That 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.640 problem is is when you're going into the sunset, that 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:50.720 sun is right in your eyes. Oh my god, Yes, 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:52.960 it's CBS did a good job. They had their cameraman 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.320 on the field stand at one end and shoot it 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.360 and it just washed out the whole camera. It's like 0:14:57.440 --> 0:14:58.760 being on a highway, you know, on the suns in 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:03.240 front of you, like I can't see it that wild theme. Oh, 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:05.040 how do you build that and not have some type 0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:06.840 of meeting record? You know, we're going east west fellas. 0:15:07.400 --> 0:15:09.920 I don't know. I don't know how often this happens. 0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:12.360 Even when they had the old stadium and you know, 0:15:12.440 --> 0:15:15.600 they had the opening so God could look at the Cowboys, 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.840 you'd have these shadows that had to be you know, 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:26.240 they had to be disconcerting. And then you have that 0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:29.160 where it's just you know, you got guys who probably 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:34.080 needed sunglasses out there, and the entire Cowboys offense has 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:36.920 sunglasses on. Yes, hey, let's put a jumbo tron that 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:39.960 hangs from the ceiling way way down. Should we have 0:15:40.040 --> 0:15:41.600 a punter tested out to see if you get it? Now, 0:15:41.720 --> 0:15:43.600 let's just build it. Let's just build it. You've had 0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:49.640 punters hit it before. But you know, when you're in 0:15:49.720 --> 0:15:53.120 that stadium, you watch the game and then you immediately 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:55.960 look up at the jumbo tron or vice versa. But 0:15:56.080 --> 0:15:58.560 you you they want it so you can see the 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.520 action but then not crane your neck to look all 0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:05.960 the way up, and it is omnipresent. Like you go 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.280 in that stadium, first thing you see is like, damn, 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.240 that is a big jumbo trun There more phone calls 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:14.160 coming up.

Hey, Dan, 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.719 thanks so much for taking my call. Listen a little context. 0:17:57.760 --> 0:18:00.440 I'm a lifelong Bills fan, forty one years old. I 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.160 was a ten year old crying in my grandparents couch 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:07.200 at Super Bowl twenty five as we're lost to our nemesis, 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:10.320 Bill Belichick, as he was leading the defense of the 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:13.080 New York Giants. And so it's been thirty years of 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:17.159 tyranny under coach Bilichick. So my best, I mean, I 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:20.159 could mention all of the records of Josh y'allen accomplished. 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:22.840 I could mention Bill's mafia coming a play and confusing 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:27.280 the rookie Mac Jones. But the best was every single 0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:31.520 cutaway to Bill Belichick after every single touchdown. I mean, 0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:35.520 Josh was still throwing bombs when we were up twenty years. 0:18:35.920 --> 0:18:40.960 It was thirty years of pent up, therapeutic anger satisfied, 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:43.679 and seven touchdowns and seven possessions. Man, it was awesome. 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:45.879 Which leads me to the worst. My worst of the 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:48.960 weekend was this. The game ended and we couldn't score 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:53.960 any So let's go bring on KC, Go Bills Man. 0:18:54.040 --> 0:18:59.320 All right, congratulations Brandon. I heard from a few Bengal fans, 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:01.880 Guys I grew up with. The two of the guys 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.800 were at the game. You know they were, you know, 0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.720 they sent me video and their voices are like this, 0:19:08.119 --> 0:19:10.320 and you know they were crying, and you know they 0:19:10.480 --> 0:19:13.560 they were drunk too. But it was just, you know 0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:18.399 that you forget what it's like to live in that city, 0:19:18.880 --> 0:19:22.359 and when you have failure like it never leaves you, 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.560 like it's always there. It lingers. You move on to 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:28.640 a new season, but it still lingers that you Bengals 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:31.560 had two of the more competitive losses in Super Bowl history. 0:19:31.640 --> 0:19:34.440 They lost to the forty nine ers both times, and 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:37.800 there are times when it feels like the organization was 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.080 headed south in a hurry, and but then there was 0:19:41.160 --> 0:19:43.600 hope you would you would get these pockets of hope. 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:46.440 Kenny Anderson was a great quarterback, and you could make 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:48.960 the argument a Hall of Fame quarterback Boomer Science and 0:19:49.040 --> 0:19:52.800 one in League MVP Carson Palmer was there, they've had 0:19:53.000 --> 0:19:56.480 moments and now you get Joe Burrow and Joe Burrow, 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:00.720 you know, when you watch him, there is a sense 0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:03.720 of he's been doing this a long time. Did you 0:20:03.840 --> 0:20:07.639 see his sunglasses that he had on postgame? Sunglasses that 0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:10.240 you can't walk in if you lost. But I thought, 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:14.600 all right, all right, Joe, you go, Joe, You're gonna 0:20:14.640 --> 0:20:17.639 win God War that that'll send a message to the 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:21.080 Titans right there, like whoa, Okay, yeah, Paul. I'm having 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:22.600 a tough time though, because I don't have a dog 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:24.600 in the fight. Do I root for the Bengals or 0:20:24.720 --> 0:20:27.359 Bills to make it to the Super Bowl. There's a 0:20:27.440 --> 0:20:30.239 lot of struggles in the past, different types of struggles. Well, 0:20:30.280 --> 0:20:32.680 i'bout you root for both of them next week, right, 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:35.639 and then you'll have that decision to make after that. 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:40.520 It's toughie, Yeah it is. Tommy Curran covers the Patriots. 0:20:41.040 --> 0:20:44.359 He's a frequent guest on the program Patriots Insider for 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:47.560 NBC Sports in Boston. I saw in social media where 0:20:47.640 --> 0:20:51.600 tom was going into Duncindonut and he locked his car, 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:55.760 the car was running and he had a dog in 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:59.000 the car, went in to get his coffee, and came out. 0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:02.720 Didn't realize that he had locked the doors and his 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:07.400 spare keys. I think we're in the car. So everybody's 0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:10.359 looking at him, like you you locked yourself out of 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:16.760 your car. There's a dog in there. Tom, you you 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:22.320 don't have your spare keys in the car, and you 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:24.920 don't have your spare set of keys in the car 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:29.480 as well. Yes, so that if your house just a 0:21:29.560 --> 0:21:32.760 mile away needs to be beckoned, they can bring you 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:36.000 the spare set. When did you know you were in 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:40.800 trouble when you locked locked the keys in and the 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:46.920 dog was in the car when I went to open 0:21:47.000 --> 0:21:50.040 the door, and well, I think I might have seen 0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:52.760 that the button was down a little bit, and then 0:21:53.080 --> 0:22:00.080 you just clicked Okay, keys in car, car running, and 0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:05.480 dog just sitting there like this. Wait, you you can't 0:22:05.560 --> 0:22:11.400 have the car running in the first place. You live 0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:15.919 in the mean streets of Connecticut. But are you worried 0:22:16.080 --> 0:22:19.240 somebody is going to break into your car? And no, 0:22:20.000 --> 0:22:23.520 I mean it's the dunkin Donuts, it's not. It wasn't far. 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:27.840 It's like right, I was against the window. I'm just 0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:29.440 I don't know how hard it is to press the 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:31.120 button and turn it off and then press the button 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:36.639 to turn it back on. Oh, and that feeling when 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:39.520 you're looking inside you got your coffee and your dog 0:22:39.680 --> 0:22:44.200 is going, hey, come on, let's go, and uh, everybody's 0:22:44.240 --> 0:22:47.719 looking at you. Yeah. Yeah, And then and then when 0:22:47.760 --> 0:22:50.800 the key guy comes, because you know, those guys are 0:22:50.960 --> 0:22:56.840 constantly experiencing the morons of life, and you're gonna have 0:22:56.880 --> 0:23:01.840 a spare set. No, it's in there, Okay, keep your 0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:05.320 head up. How did you think this game was going 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:08.520 to play out? I thought it was going to be 0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:12.520 a convincing Buffalo win. Dan, they're a better team. I 0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:16.879 think that certainly in the second matchup. If you remember, 0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:19.360 Tim Graham from The Athletic and a few other reporters 0:23:20.600 --> 0:23:24.760 quoted Josh Allen leaving the field at Gillette Stadium saying, 0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:29.199 who the fudge did they think I was? Meaning they 0:23:29.280 --> 0:23:32.320 didn't take him seriously enough and they haven't really taken 0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:34.320 him seriously enough. And I think the Bills had that 0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:37.800 edge to them. Where clip the Patriots plast three out 0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:39.600 of four? They're not as good as us? What are 0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:41.879 we doing here? We're gonna steamroll these guys? So I 0:23:42.280 --> 0:23:47.040 had twenty seventh to thirteen? Was this a good year 0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:50.720 for the Patriots. It was a good year. It was 0:23:50.760 --> 0:23:54.720 a good year because they found some things, especially the 0:23:54.800 --> 0:23:59.439
