Speaker 1: we stream it live every weekday. Watch past episodes too.
Speaker 1: The Dan Patrick Show available anywhere you are, anywhere you
Speaker 1: want it. Welcome to The Dan Patrick Show, where the
Speaker 1: poll questions have taken a turn since the departure of
Speaker 1: bick Lovet. Which would be worse peeing your pants on
Speaker 1: the sidelines and then having to play the rest of
Speaker 1: the game ninety plus degrees or thirty or lower degree?
Speaker 1: You know, I can't ask you to a question. Occasionally,
Speaker 1: one is swampy, the other's freezing. Yeah, I'd rather be
Speaker 1: swampy than frozen. Yes. The problem with the cold weather
Speaker 1: is you're gonna be called. Then you're gonna get about
Speaker 1: twenty seconds of warmth that you're like, oh, that feels good,
Speaker 1: and then it's frozen. That is terrible. Did you ever
Speaker 1: urinate in your uniform? Oh? Yeah, pretty much every game
Speaker 1: from the p and the pants to the ball in
Speaker 1: the end zone. Chance We're covering every aspect of the
Speaker 1: NFL playoffs as a tribute to the listeners of this
Speaker 1: program broadcasting from the Mercedes Man Cake. This is Dan Patrick.
Speaker 1: Hope you had a great weekend everybody. I'm drained, but
Speaker 1: I'll be ready for tonight. Got one more football game, Cardinals, Rams,
Speaker 1: good nap this afternoon. I'll be ready Monday night football
Speaker 1: playoff action. Bengals will be at the Titans, the Niners
Speaker 1: at the Packers. The winner of the Rams Cardinals will
Speaker 1: be at the Buccaneers, and the Bills will be at
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. We spend a lot of time first hour
Speaker 1: talking about the ending for the Dallas Cowboys. They were
Speaker 1: one of the NFL's most talented teams this year. They
Speaker 1: were the most penalized team this year. This is a
Speaker 1: team that averaged over thirty points per game and the
Speaker 1: defense was loaded with playmakers. But the talented Cowboys once
Speaker 1: again disappointed the Niners, surprising Dallas. Not a big surprise
Speaker 1: because Dallas was only favored by three, but the loss
Speaker 1: ends their best season since Dak and Zeke were drafted
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen. But the playoff loss may do more
Speaker 1: than just send Dallas into an early offseason. I don't
Speaker 1: know of. Jerry Jones famously is not quick on the
Speaker 1: finger to fire coaches. But Mike McCarthy does Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: have a firm ground to stand on? Would he elevate
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore so he doesn't lose his offensive coordinator? Cowboys
Speaker 1: also have question marks. You know Zeke Elliott, He's due
Speaker 1: ten million dollars next year and he's probably not the
Speaker 1: best back on the team. Cowboys got talent. Their talent
Speaker 1: is usually overrated because they're the Cowboys. But it'll be
Speaker 1: an interesting offseason for America's team. And losing yesterday the
Speaker 1: way they lost that leads us to our poll question,
Speaker 1: which loss did you enjoy more? Patriots were Cowboys? Yes,
Speaker 1: that's a poor special snark filled Yes, that was not
Speaker 1: nice at all, Way too soon for that. Sixty five
Speaker 1: percent enjoyed the Cowboys loss more. Yeah, I figured we
Speaker 1: have a second hour poll question. We already have results
Speaker 1: in who is to blame for the Cowboys loss to
Speaker 1: the Niners. You can only pick one the officials, Dak Prescott,
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore, the offensive coordinator called the play, or Mike McCarthy,
Speaker 1: who oversaw the whole shebang bang. Well, they didn't lose
Speaker 1: just because of the last play. That's why I'm going
Speaker 1: to put it on Mike McCarthy to start with you.
Speaker 1: And sixty seven other people perc out of the nation agreed.
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy sixty seven percent, Dak Prescott twenty eight percent. Yes,
Speaker 1: Dak didn't have a good game. And Kevin Moore's the
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. The officials if half of your fourteen panels
Speaker 1: are pre snap penalties, I'm not putting this on the officials.
Speaker 1: And you know, stop blaming. You know, cowboy fans, cowboys themselves,
Speaker 1: they want to blame somebody else. You got to look
Speaker 1: inward here because that's the only one. That's the only
Speaker 1: way you're going to find answers here. Bengals over the Raiders.
Speaker 1: If we look at the teams that lost this weekend.
Speaker 1: You know, I look at the Raiders and I think
Speaker 1: they had a good year, considering that they had a
Speaker 1: really bad year. You know, you lose your coach, a
Speaker 1: couple of your players, you know, one is in prison,
Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs. They could have won the game, or they
Speaker 1: could have sent it into Overton, and it feels like
Speaker 1: they got their running back out, their tight end, and
Speaker 1: I like Derek Carr, and I think they've got a
Speaker 1: couple of defensive players. Crosby's really fun to watch. You know,
Speaker 1: maybe Derek Carr's in the Hall of Good but you know,
Speaker 1: he seems like he is still capable of producing a
Speaker 1: big play, and they'll probably stick with him. The Patriots, Okay,
Speaker 1: the Bills didn't have a field goal attempt, they didn't
Speaker 1: have a punt, they didn't have a turnover. That's never
Speaker 1: happened in the history of the NFL. Patriots have a quarterback.
Speaker 1: I don't think they have the quarterback bucks over the Eagles.
Speaker 1: I think it was a good year for the Eagles.
Speaker 1: At closer look, you realize they were propped up by
Speaker 1: a schedule that they benefited from Great Lake. They didn't
Speaker 1: they didn't beat anybody good. They didn't face an elite quarterback.
Speaker 1: The Steelers say alo to Jimmy Garoppolo. I don't know, No,
Speaker 1: I don't know. They didn't have a chance against the
Speaker 1: Steelers or against the Chiefs. But I'm curious, can we
Speaker 1: ask our stats guys, the wickest five touchdown, the fastest
Speaker 1: five touchdowns scored in a playoff game, because I'm going
Speaker 1: to guess Kansas City has that record now after last night,
Speaker 1: I think it has span a little over ten minutes.
Speaker 1: They scored five touchdowns to blow that game wide open.
Speaker 1: But if you're looking at the playoff teams and what's
Speaker 1: the offseason going to be looking like, the Steelers have
Speaker 1: to obviously find their quarterback. Do you draft one? Do
Speaker 1: you sign a free agent? Do you trade for one?
Speaker 1: Cowboys in the off season. I guess you start with
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy. Are you keeping him? And if you are,
Speaker 1: you're probably going to lose at least one of your coordinators,
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn or and or Kellen Moore. You got Michael Parsons,
Speaker 1: Treyvon Diggs are those are impactful players. But it feels
Speaker 1: like every year we say, you know, Dallas got talent,
Speaker 1: you got wide receivers, tight end running backs, but you
Speaker 1: can't be sacked five times with a four man rush.
Speaker 1: You're the Dallas Cowboys. That can happen. Then that happened.
Speaker 1: Cardinals at the Rams coming up tonight with the winner
Speaker 1: going to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers. Eight seven
Speaker 1: seven three d P show email address tp oft Dan
Speaker 1: Patrick dot com, Twitter handle a dp's show. We say
Speaker 1: good morning to Peconic or streaming partner. We'll check in
Speaker 1: with the Patriots coming on Tom Curran, who covers them.
Speaker 1: I'll ask him if the Patriots have their quarterback or
Speaker 1: just a quarterback. Here is Bill Belichick. He was very
Speaker 1: minimal in things he had to say after the game.
Speaker 1: Gradually Buffalo and win tonight. They did a great job.
Speaker 1: We just couldn't keep up with him tonight. It's gonna
Speaker 1: do much anything. That's his opening statement. You know, usually
Speaker 1: you get that elaborate opening statement, and it's it's it's
Speaker 1: kind of a state of the union for our team
Speaker 1: and the season, offseason, the opponent you faced. And then
Speaker 1: you got five seconds worth yea coach, going back to
Speaker 1: what you said in your opening statement? Can I mentioned
Speaker 1: that was a follow up. I wanted to start expound
Speaker 1: on that a little bit. Uh front row is here,
Speaker 1: Todd is zooming in from home. He's still quarantined, but
Speaker 1: that didn't stop him from giving us a limerick. By
Speaker 1: the way, how do you feel? I feel okay, a
Speaker 1: little bit of a cough, stuff knows a little just
Speaker 1: you know, aches, nothing terrible. It feels like I got
Speaker 1: a regular cold. Okay, you want to give us a limerick,
Speaker 1: I'd like to okay, feeling sort of joom and gloom.
Speaker 1: I stayed inside my room. Why was I losing my groove?
Speaker 1: A home test would prove yep COVID. So now stuck
Speaker 1: on zoom okay, yea do groove and zoom, Ryan, it's
Speaker 1: it's let it go. You know if M and M
Speaker 1: was doing this, he would somehow make that work. But
Speaker 1: groove improve ryme the third and fourth line, got it, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got it room and zoom okay yeah aabba, as
Speaker 1: the rhyme spek abb I thought it was. I had
Speaker 1: groove improved in the third and fourth lad, it's todd
Speaker 1: staying in one room like the whole time, or at
Speaker 1: the office that you're sleeping in there. When I venture out,
Speaker 1: I have my mask on because I'm the only one
Speaker 1: of the family. Well, my wife's the only one who
Speaker 1: come with that has still tested negative. So we're trying
Speaker 1: to save her from joining our son and daughter and
Speaker 1: myself with the positive test. The most part, I try
Speaker 1: to stay in my room. She has not, but she
Speaker 1: considered moving out long ago. Wait before there was a band. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, like that line does a good line? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's decent. How about you let others pat you on
Speaker 1: the bank? That doesn't that That didn't sound good at all.
Speaker 1: That was a little throaty you know. That's that's not good. Yes,
Speaker 1: kind of antibody situation. All right, Well, we we hope
Speaker 1: to have you in later this week. I hope to
Speaker 1: be back as soon as possible. All right, phone calls
Speaker 1: are always welcome. Mastering. Worst of the weekend, Alan Atlanta's
Speaker 1: back high, Al, what's on your mind today? Good morning dad.
Speaker 1: Best for the weekend. My little sister and her family
Speaker 1: came to visit and we had a pizza extravaganza last night.
Speaker 1: I actually ate an Apple and anchovie pizza and made
Speaker 1: me rethink my whole rule about fruit and fish on pizza.
Speaker 1: Worst of the weekend due to the circumstances in the
Speaker 1: Bill's Patriots game and a bet I had with my nephew,
Speaker 1: I had to root for the Patriots dand it was
Speaker 1: the worst feeling ever. Thank you all. Well, at least
Speaker 1: his worst wasn't the Falcons since they're not in the postseason.
Speaker 1: Jeremy in Texas, Hey, Jeremy. Best and worst of the weekend.
Speaker 1: Morning guys. So my worst of the weekend is definitely
Speaker 1: my Dallas Cowboys just going down the drain. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, my best of the weekend is the dawn,
Speaker 1: my Dallas Cowboys losing, and it's the best than it
Speaker 1: could have happened to them. They looked absolutely horrendous. It
Speaker 1: was a total clown show. Mike McCarty's play calling or
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy's just game management as a whole, Deck Scott
Speaker 1: not running, Tony Pollard not even being a factor in
Speaker 1: the game, Zeke trying to do his thing, but the
Speaker 1: defense was too fast for Zeke. You know, Zeke's a
Speaker 1: power guy, and I speak guy. Tony Pollard was there,
Speaker 1: just everything in general. Dak's scrambling ability is no longer existent.
Speaker 1: It used to be pro pro living but yeah, I
Speaker 1: can even talk him so mad. But yeah, Dak used
Speaker 1: to be able to run. He hadn't been able to
Speaker 1: do that since then. So we'll see what happens as
Speaker 1: off season. I think they need to really take a good,
Speaker 1: hard look at themselves as a whole and definitely as
Speaker 1: a coaching organization. You know, Mike McCarthy has been riding
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn's defense all year long. Look at the games
Speaker 1: they won, and look at the defense. This is why
Speaker 1: they won, not because of Mike McCarthy and really not
Speaker 1: too much because of the offense. Right, That's all I
Speaker 1: got to say, Thank you, Jeremy. Yeah, you know this
Speaker 1: is where Kellen Moore's the offensive coordinator. He's getting all
Speaker 1: this credit, you know, for running the Dallas offense. And
Speaker 1: you see the next head coach somewhere in the NFL,
Speaker 1: and he'll probably be a head coach in the NFL.
Speaker 1: But I can't play all of this on Mike McCarthy, Like,
Speaker 1: some of the blame has to be on Kellen Moore.
Speaker 1: He's the offensive coordinator. Mike McCarthy does, and Mike McCarthy's
Speaker 1: known as an offensive minded head coach. I thought Dan
Speaker 1: Quinn as a result of that Dallas defense is going
Speaker 1: to get a head coaching job again. Yes, he But
Speaker 1: you've just been waiting for that Mike McCarthy clock management
Speaker 1: storyline to play out, you know, it's been sort of
Speaker 1: hanging over the Cowboys all year, and man, did that
Speaker 1: strike at the worst time. Yep, yep. And I thought
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan had a great game plan and that defense,
Speaker 1: although it wasn't great, it was just good enough. But
Speaker 1: you're missing a couple of your star players. But it
Speaker 1: just feels like the Niners, you're They're like Jimmy Garoppolo, Hey,
Speaker 1: we just win, not always pretty, and you're not looking.
Speaker 1: When's the last time you said, Man, did you see
Speaker 1: Garoppolo's stats? Like, you don't, you don't do that. I
Speaker 1: don't even know what he was yet day, but usually
Speaker 1: he's twelve for nineteen for one hundred and eighty four yards.
Speaker 1: That's like, that's like his standard. You know, It's like
Speaker 1: it's never enough. I just saw this, Uh this tweet?
Speaker 1: Uh is it Ben Spiegel? Do we know who this is? Todd?
Speaker 1: He covers the covers sports for the New York Times.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure on the pronunciation of the least Eagle.
Speaker 1: Since AT and T Stadium opened in two thousand and nine,
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have won as many playoff games there as Alabama.
Speaker 1: Another clumsy finish left Jerry Jones is disappointed as he's
Speaker 1: ever felt after a loss. That's stay out of the
Speaker 1: day of the day of the day. Here comes that
Speaker 1: what stat of the day? And then you have the
Speaker 1: punt hit the JumboTron like it was just one of
Speaker 1: those where you go, oh, I don't think this is
Speaker 1: their day, Yeston. That's a sort of a preview of
Speaker 1: my best of the oh, best of the weekend. Okay,
Speaker 1: spending all that money on a new stadium just to
Speaker 1: have your receivers blinded by the sun because apparently that
Speaker 1: hadn't been thought out. Another thing like you was, we're
Speaker 1: gonna build the stadium here, right, We're gonna build it
Speaker 1: east and west, east and west. You're gonna love this. Hey,
Speaker 1: we got sunrise and we got sunset, Boston. We can
Speaker 1: cover up the south end or the east end of
Speaker 1: the end zone, or the west end the end zone.
Speaker 1: Wee like a tarbet No, I want glass, glass reflects.
Speaker 1: It didn't dawn on me as I'm watching, I go
Speaker 1: you build a stadium that has sunrise and sunset. That
Speaker 1: problem is is when you're going into the sunset, that
Speaker 1: sun is right in your eyes. Oh my god, Yes,
Speaker 1: it's CBS did a good job. They had their cameraman
Speaker 1: on the field stand at one end and shoot it
Speaker 1: and it just washed out the whole camera. It's like
Speaker 1: being on a highway, you know, on the suns in
Speaker 1: front of you, like I can't see it that wild theme. Oh,
Speaker 1: how do you build that and not have some type
Speaker 1: of meeting record? You know, we're going east west fellas.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know how often this happens.
Speaker 1: Even when they had the old stadium and you know,
Speaker 1: they had the opening so God could look at the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: you'd have these shadows that had to be you know,
Speaker 1: they had to be disconcerting. And then you have that
Speaker 1: where it's just you know, you got guys who probably
Speaker 1: needed sunglasses out there, and the entire Cowboys offense has
Speaker 1: sunglasses on. Yes, hey, let's put a jumbo tron that
Speaker 1: hangs from the ceiling way way down. Should we have
Speaker 1: a punter tested out to see if you get it? Now,
Speaker 1: let's just build it. Let's just build it. You've had
Speaker 1: punters hit it before. But you know, when you're in
Speaker 1: that stadium, you watch the game and then you immediately
Speaker 1: look up at the jumbo tron or vice versa. But
Speaker 1: you you they want it so you can see the
Speaker 1: action but then not crane your neck to look all
Speaker 1: the way up, and it is omnipresent. Like you go
Speaker 1: in that stadium, first thing you see is like, damn,
Speaker 1: that is a big jumbo trun There more phone calls
Speaker 1: coming up. Check in with the Patriots. Do they have
Speaker 1: their quarterback in Mac Jones? Also? Was this a good
Speaker 1: year for the Patriots? More phone calls will give you
Speaker 1: our best and worst of the weekend as well. Back

Speaker 1: A couple more phone calls, Best and Worst to the weekend.
Speaker 1: We will give you our best and worst to the
Speaker 1: weekend RAMS three and a half point favorites coming up
Speaker 1: tonight the winner against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa
Speaker 1: Brandon in New York Brandon, best and worst of the weekend. Hey, Dan,
Speaker 1: thanks so much for taking my call. Listen a little context.
Speaker 1: I'm a lifelong Bills fan, forty one years old. I
Speaker 1: was a ten year old crying in my grandparents couch
Speaker 1: at Super Bowl twenty five as we're lost to our nemesis,
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, as he was leading the defense of the
Speaker 1: New York Giants. And so it's been thirty years of
Speaker 1: tyranny under coach Bilichick. So my best, I mean, I
Speaker 1: could mention all of the records of Josh y'allen accomplished.
Speaker 1: I could mention Bill's mafia coming a play and confusing
Speaker 1: the rookie Mac Jones. But the best was every single
Speaker 1: cutaway to Bill Belichick after every single touchdown. I mean,
Speaker 1: Josh was still throwing bombs when we were up twenty years.
Speaker 1: It was thirty years of pent up, therapeutic anger satisfied,
Speaker 1: and seven touchdowns and seven possessions. Man, it was awesome.
Speaker 1: Which leads me to the worst. My worst of the
Speaker 1: weekend was this. The game ended and we couldn't score
Speaker 1: any So let's go bring on KC, Go Bills Man.
Speaker 1: All right, congratulations Brandon. I heard from a few Bengal fans,
Speaker 1: Guys I grew up with. The two of the guys
Speaker 1: were at the game. You know they were, you know,
Speaker 1: they sent me video and their voices are like this,
Speaker 1: and you know they were crying, and you know they
Speaker 1: they were drunk too. But it was just, you know
Speaker 1: that you forget what it's like to live in that city,
Speaker 1: and when you have failure like it never leaves you,
Speaker 1: like it's always there. It lingers. You move on to
Speaker 1: a new season, but it still lingers that you Bengals
Speaker 1: had two of the more competitive losses in Super Bowl history.
Speaker 1: They lost to the forty nine ers both times, and
Speaker 1: there are times when it feels like the organization was
Speaker 1: headed south in a hurry, and but then there was
Speaker 1: hope you would you would get these pockets of hope.
Speaker 1: Kenny Anderson was a great quarterback, and you could make
Speaker 1: the argument a Hall of Fame quarterback Boomer Science and
Speaker 1: one in League MVP Carson Palmer was there, they've had
Speaker 1: moments and now you get Joe Burrow and Joe Burrow,
Speaker 1: you know, when you watch him, there is a sense
Speaker 1: of he's been doing this a long time. Did you
Speaker 1: see his sunglasses that he had on postgame? Sunglasses that
Speaker 1: you can't walk in if you lost. But I thought,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, Joe, you go, Joe, You're gonna
Speaker 1: win God War that that'll send a message to the
Speaker 1: Titans right there, like whoa, Okay, yeah, Paul. I'm having
Speaker 1: a tough time though, because I don't have a dog
Speaker 1: in the fight. Do I root for the Bengals or
Speaker 1: Bills to make it to the Super Bowl. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of struggles in the past, different types of struggles. Well,
Speaker 1: i'bout you root for both of them next week, right,
Speaker 1: and then you'll have that decision to make after that.
Speaker 1: It's toughie, Yeah it is. Tommy Curran covers the Patriots.
Speaker 1: He's a frequent guest on the program Patriots Insider for
Speaker 1: NBC Sports in Boston. I saw in social media where
Speaker 1: tom was going into Duncindonut and he locked his car,
Speaker 1: the car was running and he had a dog in
Speaker 1: the car, went in to get his coffee, and came out.
Speaker 1: Didn't realize that he had locked the doors and his
Speaker 1: spare keys. I think we're in the car. So everybody's
Speaker 1: looking at him, like you you locked yourself out of
Speaker 1: your car. There's a dog in there. Tom, you you
Speaker 1: don't have your spare keys in the car, and you
Speaker 1: don't have your spare set of keys in the car
Speaker 1: as well. Yes, so that if your house just a
Speaker 1: mile away needs to be beckoned, they can bring you
Speaker 1: the spare set. When did you know you were in
Speaker 1: trouble when you locked locked the keys in and the
Speaker 1: dog was in the car when I went to open
Speaker 1: the door, and well, I think I might have seen
Speaker 1: that the button was down a little bit, and then
Speaker 1: you just clicked Okay, keys in car, car running, and
Speaker 1: dog just sitting there like this. Wait, you you can't
Speaker 1: have the car running in the first place. You live
Speaker 1: in the mean streets of Connecticut. But are you worried
Speaker 1: somebody is going to break into your car? And no,
Speaker 1: I mean it's the dunkin Donuts, it's not. It wasn't far.
Speaker 1: It's like right, I was against the window. I'm just
Speaker 1: I don't know how hard it is to press the
Speaker 1: button and turn it off and then press the button
Speaker 1: to turn it back on. Oh, and that feeling when
Speaker 1: you're looking inside you got your coffee and your dog
Speaker 1: is going, hey, come on, let's go, and uh, everybody's
Speaker 1: looking at you. Yeah. Yeah, And then and then when
Speaker 1: the key guy comes, because you know, those guys are
Speaker 1: constantly experiencing the morons of life, and you're gonna have
Speaker 1: a spare set. No, it's in there, Okay, keep your
Speaker 1: head up. How did you think this game was going
Speaker 1: to play out? I thought it was going to be
Speaker 1: a convincing Buffalo win. Dan, they're a better team. I
Speaker 1: think that certainly in the second matchup. If you remember,
Speaker 1: Tim Graham from The Athletic and a few other reporters
Speaker 1: quoted Josh Allen leaving the field at Gillette Stadium saying,
Speaker 1: who the fudge did they think I was? Meaning they
Speaker 1: didn't take him seriously enough and they haven't really taken
Speaker 1: him seriously enough. And I think the Bills had that
Speaker 1: edge to them. Where clip the Patriots plast three out
Speaker 1: of four? They're not as good as us? What are
Speaker 1: we doing here? We're gonna steamroll these guys? So I
Speaker 1: had twenty seventh to thirteen? Was this a good year
Speaker 1: for the Patriots. It was a good year. It was
Speaker 1: a good year because they found some things, especially the
Speaker 1: quarterback position. They got some improvement from some key players.
Speaker 1: But it was a horrendously disappointing finish. I mean, they
Speaker 1: ascended to the number one seed. Remember I wrote a hey,
Speaker 1: why not us call them? Maybe the Patriots and the
Speaker 1: Bucks will meet in the Super Bowl. Why not then,
Speaker 1: because they're not really that great. You know, the only
Speaker 1: teams that they beat were either completely diminished by injury
Speaker 1: Tennessee for example, or overmatched the Jets. I mean they
Speaker 1: outscored the Jets Jaguars, and they put up forty five
Speaker 1: in the Browns by like one hundred and thirty six
Speaker 1: to twenty. So that's a lot of what inflated those
Speaker 1: numbers where people are saying Patriots at one of the
Speaker 1: best offenses in the NFL. No, they don't. They just
Speaker 1: track meet against bad teams. You think you have your quarterback.
Speaker 1: They have a quarterback, Dan, They have a quarterback. I
Speaker 1: don't know if he's the quarterback, but he will be
Speaker 1: the quarter back for five years certainly, and they're going
Speaker 1: to have to figure a way to build around him.
Speaker 1: I think That's what's interesting about this. You watch you know,
Speaker 1: Mahomes or Josh Allen, or to throw in Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: you know as a mobile guy, or Olibar Jackson or
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert. They bring that dimension to it. You know,
Speaker 1: Herbert's not only fast, but he's got a weapon, the
Speaker 1: same thing as Alan mac Jones isn't very mobile, and
Speaker 1: he's challenged in terms of arm strength compared to the
Speaker 1: rest of the league. So you better put some players
Speaker 1: around him and have a defense that's not going to
Speaker 1: let up a touchdown every single drive to the main
Speaker 1: competition in your division. So it's not going to be
Speaker 1: as much, in my estimation and about mac Jones as
Speaker 1: it's going to be about how well did the Patriots
Speaker 1: finally figure out how to draft at the receiver position.
Speaker 1: I like him, I don't love mac Jones because I
Speaker 1: think the ceiling for him is limited. He can be
Speaker 1: he can be good, but it's almost got to be
Speaker 1: a system that makes him better than what he really is,
Speaker 1: because that's throwing people open. I don't know if he
Speaker 1: had you know, maybe he has that internal clock that
Speaker 1: Brady had and you know what you're doing when you're
Speaker 1: supposed to like all of those intangibles. I'd still like
Speaker 1: to have some tangibles with my quarterback here, and I
Speaker 1: don't know how many tangibles I have with Mac Jones. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's kind of a deathly combination. If you're not mobile
Speaker 1: and your arm's not that strong, that's gonna ask a
Speaker 1: lot of your brain. It's gonna ask a lot of
Speaker 1: your aptitude, and it's gonna ask a lot of your accuracy.
Speaker 1: Fortunately he checks those boxes, but he has to improve
Speaker 1: his arm strength. I mean you can see it. It's palpable,
Speaker 1: you know on some of the throws to the outside,
Speaker 1: you know, on the downfield Portago where I didn't hate it,
Speaker 1: the one that got picked by Micah Hyde. But people
Speaker 1: weren't wrong when saying if it was three feet further
Speaker 1: out in front of him, then it's either his catch
Speaker 1: agos or nobody's. We're talking to Tom Kerrn, looks like
Speaker 1: you're an extra in the depoted tough guy. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know it's coming to that time a year though.
Speaker 1: I mean, once the season ends, all bets are off.
Speaker 1: The Patriots Insider for NBC Sports Boston. We just assumed
Speaker 1: that Belichick's going to continue to coach right. He said
Speaker 1: that that is what he expects to do yesterday on
Speaker 1: his season ending conference call. So yeah, he'll be back.
Speaker 1: And he turned seventy in a couple of months, turned
Speaker 1: seventy in April. Okay, I mean the Patriots. It's interesting
Speaker 1: because you know, the Patriots over the last three years
Speaker 1: have In twenty nineteen, the last year Braid, he got
Speaker 1: whisked out at home by the Tennessee Titans and the playoffs,
Speaker 1: didn't make the playoffs. With Cam Newton new quarterback, no
Speaker 1: real plan in place for the quarterback position. Then they
Speaker 1: went on a record spending spree this offseason. They found
Speaker 1: a quarterback, they found a running back in the draft
Speaker 1: in Stevenson, and a good defensive lineman in Barmore. But
Speaker 1: in the end their free agent acquisitions. Jewdon was good
Speaker 1: for three quarters of the year, Kendrick Bourne was good
Speaker 1: all year, Agla wasn't good, John and Smith was non existent,
Speaker 1: and Hunter Henry was good. There's a few other guys
Speaker 1: they picked up too, Jalen Mills. But in the final analysis,
Speaker 1: it wasn't an a shopping spree by Bill. It was
Speaker 1: probably a B or a B minus. But the team
Speaker 1: has been renovated a bit, but you still look at
Speaker 1: it and say, it's three years of declining returns. Do
Speaker 1: you Is there a point at which Robert Kraft says,
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't know who my defensive coordinator is.
Speaker 1: We can't stop the best team of the division. I
Speaker 1: wonder if Robert Craft ever scrutinizes the option of maybe
Speaker 1: maybe we need a reboot too handicap the AFC playoff picture. Now,
Speaker 1: if I gave you a buffalo or the field, I
Speaker 1: would take the field because I think the Kansas City
Speaker 1: defensively can really be swarming. And again, I mean Ben
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger couldn't throw it, you know, to the water from
Speaker 1: the end of the dock at this juncture. However, I
Speaker 1: think if you look at what Kansas City has done
Speaker 1: in so many big games, I think they can They
Speaker 1: can run with a lot of teams defensively, and certainly
Speaker 1: the way they exploded against a good Pittsburgh defensive, the
Speaker 1: Patriots had a good defense. So don't don't don't get
Speaker 1: it twisted on what you saw Saturday night. It's always
Speaker 1: great to talk to you, Tom. This was a nice visit.
Speaker 1: This was really buttoned down. Good start, to the week.
Speaker 1: I hope everybody enjoys it. Well, you get to still
Speaker 1: root for your boyfriend Tom in the playoffs, so everything's okay.
Speaker 1: I know, I know, yep, Tommy. Actually, oh Tom, Tom, Tommy,
Speaker 1: you're gonna buy some of those Brady sweatshirts that he's selling.
Speaker 1: I got it on sale. I got the T shirt
Speaker 1: for forty five. I like it hot, very high prices,
Speaker 1: Thank you too. Did you see the prices? Yes? I do, Yes,
Speaker 1: I did. But you know what happens sometimes you just
Speaker 1: raise the price because then it makes it seem like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I gotta have that, like of course
Speaker 1: I want to you know, a two hundred dollars sweatshirt
Speaker 1: that just says Brady across it. That happens to you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: well but not me. But I still think Belichick needs
Speaker 1: to have a clothing line where it's ripped, you know,
Speaker 1: like they have distressed looks. He has distressed written all
Speaker 1: over him. And then and then maybe you have like
Speaker 1: a twenty five dollars sweatshirt like like he goes low
Speaker 1: End to try to come out Dan. This has been
Speaker 1: my idea for him. It's pre cameo. I've had this
Speaker 1: idea for fifteen years. It's called belligrams. He just leaves
Speaker 1: voicemails to people. Hey it's Bill. Hey you doing happy birthday?
Speaker 1: The people would pay thirty thousand dollars today, fellograms Arktown.
Speaker 1: Thanks Tom, see a bun Bye buddy, have a great week,
Speaker 1: Tom Curry. Yeah, I don't know if you would pay
Speaker 1: a lot for you know, Bill Belichick message there. I
Speaker 1: think the Bill Belichick clothing line. You know, people buy
Speaker 1: distressed furniture all the time. Jeans, distressed jeans. I can imagine.
Speaker 1: I remember growing up, I couldn't get another pair of jeans.
Speaker 1: I had to wear the ones I had and they
Speaker 1: had holes all over them. Now you know, forty years later,
Speaker 1: you go, people are gonna pay good money for a
Speaker 1: pair of jeans like that. Those are distressed. My kids
Speaker 1: saw me with a pair of jeans on that I
Speaker 1: wore to high school and they said, oh, you had
Speaker 1: distressed jenes. I go, no, No, they're just called old.
Speaker 1: My family was distressed. This program brought to you by
Speaker 1: Mercedes Benz Vans. They go far beyond from their customization options,
Speaker 1: cutting check, five star sales service, financial support crew. Make
Speaker 1: sure that you sign up Dan Patrick dot com chance
Speaker 1: to win that Mercedes Benz sprinter van that Seaton will
Speaker 1: be taking across the country. You guys, lock your keys
Speaker 1: in your car. Before fauling, I was in Rhode Island
Speaker 1: getting at the DMV getting plates for a car. This
Speaker 1: is about two years ago. I was so embarrassed by this.
Speaker 1: I don't think I even told you guys. That's almost
Speaker 1: two hours from my house in Connecticut. And I go
Speaker 1: get the plates. I'm opened the trunk. I put my
Speaker 1: wallet and keys down in the trunk, and I've got
Speaker 1: like a screwdriver and I'm just putting the plates on.
Speaker 1: Takes a minute. I'm like, okay, beautiful, I got fresh plates.
Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. And I closed it. As it's about
Speaker 1: an introm being closed. My eyes make contact with the
Speaker 1: keys and the wallet and it closes and locks. This
Speaker 1: BMW it was like an old BMW convertible. You couldn't
Speaker 1: get it open. I had a locksmith come out. He
Speaker 1: tried everything. He was there for an hour and a
Speaker 1: half trying. I've got my phone on me and I go, well,
Speaker 1: I guess I'm just gonna break the window. I called
Speaker 1: my wife and tell she goes, don't break the window.
Speaker 1: That's dumb. She had to drive up on a school night,
Speaker 1: on a work night at eight o'clock at night from
Speaker 1: our house two hours. It's still a topic. I remember
Speaker 1: I locked my keys in and as I'm closing the door,
Speaker 1: I put my fingers in the door and I slammed
Speaker 1: the car door on my fingers so I wouldn't lock
Speaker 1: my keys in And it was a kick save in
Speaker 1: a beauty. But but you know, of course I mangled
Speaker 1: my hands in the process. But I didn't lock my
Speaker 1: keys in the car. Yeah. See, I locked my keys
Speaker 1: in the car at the church during my wedding topper
Speaker 1: I got I got to the I pulled up to
Speaker 1: the church. I was driving like a blue pissat at
Speaker 1: the time, and I looked at some of the other
Speaker 1: cars and they were all really nice. And then I
Speaker 1: looked at mine and I didn't get it washed. And
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, damn it. Why didn't I get
Speaker 1: my car washed? And I was like, man, I'm not.
Speaker 1: I didn't really think that through. And then I looked,
Speaker 1: I'm the door of the driver's side door was open,
Speaker 1: and for some reason, I threw my keys down on
Speaker 1: the seat and closed the door, and I was like,
Speaker 1: why the hell did I just do that? Why did
Speaker 1: I just what the hell am I doing? And I
Speaker 1: just I didn't even think about the door being locked?
Speaker 1: How about you, Todd? I did. I was in the
Speaker 1: parking lot of a gym in Santa Monica, and much
Speaker 1: like you, but I didn't stick my fingers in to
Speaker 1: try to save it. I closed the door and realized
Speaker 1: as the doors closing behind me that the keys were
Speaker 1: sitting there inside didn't have any spare. A few hours later,
Speaker 1: my roommate came and he had a hanger or some
Speaker 1: kind of way to pop it open for me. But
Speaker 1: that I was a mess. I've done that before, where
Speaker 1: you have somebody to go in with a hanger. Because
Speaker 1: I never had expensive cars growing up, so it was
Speaker 1: pretty easy to get in and break into. I don't
Speaker 1: even know why I would lock want you know the
Speaker 1: cars that I had growing up. It was like, if
Speaker 1: you steal it, I might make some money off of this,
Speaker 1: all right, when we come back, more phone calls, best
Speaker 1: and worst of the weekend. But Seaton somehow offended the
Speaker 1: Michigan Wolverine fan bit like, I like, there's people that
Speaker 1: are angry at Seaton and I kept thinking, I hope
Speaker 1: it's a good reason why Rich Eisen and Charles Woodson
Speaker 1: are upset with you, and then I found out, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I guess there is a good reason for them, and
Speaker 1: we'll have that for you coming up. Be sure to
Speaker 1: catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays
Speaker 1: at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports
Speaker 1: Radio and the iHeart Radio app. I asked this question
Speaker 1: first hour of the show. Most touchdowns scored in a
Speaker 1: twelve minutes span of game time in a postseason game
Speaker 1: since two thousand Chiefs and Steelers. The Chiefs had five
Speaker 1: touchdowns in eleven minutes and thirty one seconds. The Patriots
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve had four touchdowns and just under eleven minutes,
Speaker 1: the Packers and twenty ten had four touchdowns in a
Speaker 1: little over eleven minutes, and the Chiefs against the Texans
Speaker 1: they scored four touchdowns. That was in twenty twenty. In
Speaker 1: eleven forty one, you had five touchdowns in eleven minutes
Speaker 1: and thirty one seconds. Last time, yeah, Pa, if you
Speaker 1: go back to that one two years ago, Chiefs Texans,
Speaker 1: that was the playoff game. The Texans were up twenty
Speaker 1: one zero when that next four touchdowns. Knew Stan O'Connor
Speaker 1: was trending in Michigan over the weekend, and I kept thinking,
Speaker 1: what did he do? Now? Got Rich eisen and Charles
Speaker 1: Woodson there upset with Seaton. It was like, I hope
Speaker 1: you got a good story, and he goes, I think
Speaker 1: I do. What was the basis for the tweet? Well,
Speaker 1: the Bills had just absolutely demolished the Patriots, which was
Speaker 1: unbelievable to watch. And then I noticed in the postgame
Speaker 1: interviews and actually people all over Twitter were commenting on
Speaker 1: it too, that they were playing we are the champions
Speaker 1: right after the Bills had won. And it's like, man,
Speaker 1: that's a little premature, you know, like you have to
Speaker 1: think bigger. You should be looking at the super Bowl,
Speaker 1: not just beating the Patriots. So I tweeted something like
Speaker 1: the Bills are like Michigan, they beat their Ohio state
Speaker 1: and now nothing else in the playoffs matters, which people
Speaker 1: did not appreciate apparently, Okay, but I don't really, you know.
Speaker 1: So yeah, then I got like Rich Eysen is like, dude,
Speaker 1: what are you the hot take guy? You taken over
Speaker 1: for pearl Off? Or Charles Woodson is like I hope
Speaker 1: you played in the rivalry, you know, like I did.
Speaker 1: Charles Woodson, really just go like I played. You didn't
Speaker 1: to me? Wow? And that I can't you know, I
Speaker 1: woke up the next morning and I couldn't. I still
Speaker 1: didn't really understand why Michigan fans were so upset. If anything,
Speaker 1: Buffalo should be upset at what I just said. But
Speaker 1: Michigan you have the tweet. Yeah yeah, Seton said Buffalo
Speaker 1: bills are like Michigan, beating their Ohio state is enough.
Speaker 1: The rest of the playoffs don't matter for them. But
Speaker 1: are you a little sensitive because they roughed up your Patriots? No.
Speaker 1: I was just look, I've made peace with that early
Speaker 1: or I was like, wow, this is really going sideways.
Speaker 1: So I was by the halftime, but by half I
Speaker 1: was good. I was like, I don't really care. But
Speaker 1: there was something about playing we are the champions after
Speaker 1: that that I thought, Man, you know, you guys have
Speaker 1: more games left. You need to be thinking bigger picture,
Speaker 1: Like Buffalo at this point should be thinking about more
Speaker 1: than just beating the Patriots. Yeah, I'm sure they do.
Speaker 1: With Kansas City Chiefs next on the agenda, they're certain
Speaker 1: teams if you go back to that O four Red
Speaker 1: Sox team when they got past the Yankees. That felt
Speaker 1: like at the moment, that felt like the world tea
Speaker 1: go back to the Bowl is getting past the Detroit
Speaker 1: Pistons in the early nineties, that felt like a bigger
Speaker 1: deal than it was in retrospect. Oh no, oh, what confused, Seaton.
Speaker 1: It's one of the best fight songs in history. You're
Speaker 1: a flamethrower today. Yeah. Best and worst of the weekend,
Speaker 1: Let's start with a back row boy, Todd back row boy,
Speaker 1: my best of the weekend, Bungles no more. It took
Speaker 1: thirty one years and several one and done playoff appearances.
Speaker 1: Who Day Nation rejoiced Cincinnati advancing to the divisional playoffs.
Speaker 1: It was very cool to see that, and knocking out
Speaker 1: the Raiders was nice. Worst of the weekend pages defense
Speaker 1: in Buffalo forty seven points, Josh Allen five touchdown passes
Speaker 1: to only four incompletions, Buffalo never punting, not good, Seaton O'Connor.
Speaker 1: Best and worst, Well, let's I don't know if making
Speaker 1: Michigan fans was my best or worst. But Joe Burrow
Speaker 1: and Jamar Chase Man, I don't know what if you
Speaker 1: got to pay them to billion dollars, you need to
Speaker 1: keep those two together. They are damn good. That's my
Speaker 1: best of Okay, my worst of the weekend was the
Speaker 1: sun topic that we hit earlier. I don't know how
Speaker 1: you spend that much money out of the stadium only
Speaker 1: they'll have your own receivers blinded. And maybe there's you know,
Speaker 1: some designer, somebody who's got a degree in architector that
Speaker 1: can tell me why you have the stadium go east
Speaker 1: west instead of north south. It's not even good, just saying,
Speaker 1: but you're watching and you're going, No, I want it
Speaker 1: to be east and west. You can have sunrise and sunset. Jerry.
Speaker 1: It's the guys down at the site said this is
Speaker 1: a bad idea. I don't care. It's east and west.
Speaker 1: Paulie best and worst. Micah Hyde to the Bills. That's
Speaker 1: one of the bettest best interceptions I've ever seen. Plus
Speaker 1: in that situation, I think the Bills are up seven
Speaker 1: zero in New England's going in for a touchdown and
Speaker 1: over the shoulder catch the unbelievable play. The other best
Speaker 1: of the weekend was, or maybe the worst. Troy Aikman
Speaker 1: and Joe Buck they had the Bucks Eagles game. They
Speaker 1: did not put Troy on the Cowboys game, and Troy
Speaker 1: commented on it. This weekend that game coming up, which
Speaker 1: is on CBS, which is the Dallas Cowboys hosting the
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine ers. We saw San Francisco with
Speaker 1: that overtime win in LA last weekend. That's gonna be
Speaker 1: a good game. It's gonna be a great game. I've
Speaker 1: been a really good game. I think there's a lot
Speaker 1: of people that like to be calling that game. You're
Speaker 1: not hinting at it, he was. You got the odds
Speaker 1: for next week? Yeah, the early odds. I got um
Speaker 1: Titans three and a half point favorite at home versus
Speaker 1: the Bengals. I got Packers five and a half point
Speaker 1: favorite versus the nine Ers at home. The Buccaneers are
Speaker 1: favorite over TBD and the coul They're gonna be favorite
Speaker 1: over no matter who they play as it right now,
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs are only a two point favorite hosting
Speaker 1: the Bills. Las Vegas is the great sterena on Earth.
Speaker 1: Morgan and Maryland joins us. Morgan, Good morning, best and
Speaker 1: worst of the weekend, Hey Anne, how are you great? Morgan? Awesome?
Speaker 1: So best of the weekend definitely Josh Allen and the Bills,
Speaker 1: just steamroll and Abramacdens my Patriots. Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 1: We had people ever on Saturday for football and it
Speaker 1: was also my husband's birthday, and you know, we're all
Speaker 1: having fun, you know, Briggan beers watching in football and
Speaker 1: one of our friends looks at my son and he goes, wow,
Speaker 1: he's got a Mark David's haircut. And I said, and
Speaker 1: I was like, I wanted to be mad, but now
Speaker 1: and he's a nearly sixteen months old, so he hasn't
Speaker 1: even had his haircut. So but now that I didn't,
Speaker 1: I can't unfit Dn like he absolutely does. And if
Speaker 1: even growing in like that. Can you send us a picture, Morgan, Yes,
Speaker 1: I'll send you a side by side it's it's it's okay, perfect, Yes,
Speaker 1: I will. Marvin will get your information and make sure
Speaker 1: you send that to us. Well, we'll display it on
Speaker 1: the show. Absolutely all right, thank you, Morgan. Yes, can
Speaker 1: you say to the mom of a kid that the
Speaker 1: kid's got a mom Mark Davis's haircut. That's a toughie,
Speaker 1: that's not a compliment. Can you do it when they're
Speaker 1: under two? Years of age where it's like playful if
Speaker 1: you say it, and you know the kids like eight,
Speaker 1: baby hadn't even had his first haircut. He's got a
Speaker 1: Mark Davis haircut. Carson Palmer joins this coming up
