Speaker 1: and Shoulders. Um, I'll tell you what the A little

25
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 1: bit of a bad mood, A little bit yeah, because

26
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: I know it's you know, free food, and we're not

27
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: supposed to complain. But the wild Boars wild are going

28
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: to talk about the football developments. There are some downing

29
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: downers that happened. I'm getting there, Greg, Let let the

30
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: bit play out, Okay, wild boar ra goo cheesy polenta

31
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: being served for dinner today sounds good? Really testing the

32
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: limits of what we can complain about in terms of

33
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: free food today. It's uh, it's become apparent to us

34
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: over the past three or four weeks, if not longer,

35
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: that what we thought was meals, we appreciate that they

36
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: cost no money. I thought they were being delivered from

37
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: local eateries are simply probably being made in the way

38
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: the warehouse space behind our own in house cafeteria. That's

39
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: that's the behind. That's that's some stupid there good Scoopidge there, Mark,

40
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: I may not be right. I'm not saying it's triple

41
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: source whispers now the bit you took it deep, which

42
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: is a nice deep dive. But I'm also in a

43
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: bad mood because it looks like we lost another superstar quarterback,

44
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: this time Carson Wentz and West. This one hurts. He

45
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: was the most fun player to watch this year. I thought,

46
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: I if previously Deshaun Watson was the most fun player

47
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: to watch, or Aaron Rodgers or Andrew Luck, They're all

48
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 1: the fun players have been struck down, smited by the

49
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: injury gods. We should know as we tape this. Our

50
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: guy in rapports said, the Eagles fear it's a season

51
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 1: ending injury. ESPN had a very similar report. I feel

52
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: like one in every twenty five of these fears where

53
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: it's not confirmed end up being wrong. In fifty happened,

54
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: It's happened. And Ryan Tannehill last December, right, that's a

55
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: that's a good example. Uh of course he didn't play again.

56
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: Like how the football gods spared Ryan Tannehill least temporary.

57
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just hope we've learned. I'm hopeful

58
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: they're the worst. And Mark, we we talked about this,

59
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, I was said fans of our teams, screw

60
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: the football gods, and what can you do to me?

61
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: You can't do anything more? So whatever right? I cursed

62
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: at them? And what are you gonna do? You think

63
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: make life even even uglier for our teams. But I

64
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: will say one thing about It's not just that Carson

65
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: Wentz to me was the most fun player to watch

66
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: at this point in the season. The Eagles were the

67
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: team I enjoyed watching the most. And when you replace

68
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz with Nick Foles, the fun quotient dives into

69
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: the deep, into the earth. Rather have Nick Shook behind center.

70
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: To be quite honest, anyway, that would an we got

71
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: We got a lot of games to get to and

72
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: let's start. There's no better place than to start then

73
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: at the Los Angeles Calcium, where Carson Wentz most likely

74
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: played his final game of two thousand seventeen. Damn you

75
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: football time runs out. Pattises to Jeffrey crom a touchdown,

76
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: want to catch right off the top of the grass,

77
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: and a new franchise record for Philadelphia's Carson Wentz thirty

78
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: third touchdown of the season. Joe Buck with a call

79
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: on Fox There, Yes, was that the final pass of

80
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: Carson wentz Is magnificent sophomore season. The Eagles star through

81
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: for four touchdowns before exiting with a potentially serious knee injury.

82
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: The Eagles showed some gumption without their star, forcing a

83
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: big Jard Goff turnover that led to a go ahead

84
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: field goal U They tacked down some late points with

85
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: some special teams. Shenanigan's a forty three to thirty five

86
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 1: win at the Coliseum. Mark here was the textbook definition

87
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: of Oh boy, am I gonna pronounce this one right?

88
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: A pyrrhic victory? Chris Wesleyan Uh, you know, Chris did

89
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: not come up with this term, but you there, you go.

90
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: So it's someone who direct Did I get it? Yeah? Plutark,

91
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: a couple of generations older than than West. Is that

92
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: the guy from Animal House? I'm not sure about that.

93
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: I believiously an important historical victory in ancient war times

94
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: ahead and not in America. But what a killer loss

95
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: for the Rams and and but yet you look at

96
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: this Eagle season and they're eleven in two. In any

97
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: other scenario where whence it survived this game? You have

98
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 1: essentially one year division and you've basically told the rest

99
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: of the NFC, it's US and it's everyone else, and

100
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: now we're looking at a team that could capture the

101
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,159
Speaker 1: first round by here because they're they're slate down the

102
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: stretch is manageable, to say the least, and yet the

103
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: air is completely out of the balloon. It's really strange

104
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: because this result in this game mattered so much to

105
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: this season. Like that the Eagles winning the game after

106
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: Foals came in almost feels like an afterthought. But it

107
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: was a big achievement, not just for Foals, who hit

108
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: a third down or two, but ultimately it was the

109
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: running game in the defense Chris Long with a massive play.

110
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: This game really could have changed the NFC picture if

111
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: the Rams could have figured out a way to do it. Now,

112
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 1: the Eagles get a chance, like you said, Mark, to

113
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: to win some games. And I don't think this is

114
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: a situation where they're like the Raiders last year and

115
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: their season is over. They've got a very good defense,

116
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league. They've got a

117
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 1: very good running game, and I think Nick Foles could

118
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,840
Speaker 1: be one of the better backups in the league. That's

119
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: a low bar, but he could be in that system.

120
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: So I don't think they're necessarily cupcakes. It's devastating, they're

121
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 1: not fun, But I I don't think they're necessarily out

122
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: of the NFC picture, especially because I expect them to

123
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: be the one seed now, So you'd say they are

124
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: much closer to the Case Keenum Vikings than If the

125
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: Vikings can be a super Bowl contender with Case Keenum,

126
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: why can't the Eagles with home field be a contender

127
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: at least to to play a team like the Saints

128
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: or the Vikings. Whoever? It is pretty tight. That's looking

129
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: far ahead, I know. And that's why if you're an

130
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: Eagles fan, and I commend you if you're even listening

131
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: to this podcast right now, this would be one of

132
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: those shows where I would just I would need to

133
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: go underground as a sports fan when something this bad happens,

134
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: you're now your hope goes from it goes through. And

135
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 1: Colleen's a big Eagles fan and all season she kind

136
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: of had a take about this team that lined up

137
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: probably with a lot of Eagles fans, which was like,

138
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: I don't even know how to process this. I'm just

139
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: really nervous something bad is gonna happen because things are

140
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: going too well and That's exactly what's happened. So now

141
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: they're in a position if you're an Eagles fan, where

142
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: you need Nick Foles to pull a case Keenum too

143
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: for them really to be a Super Bowl contender still,

144
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: and that is a think to pull off. Maybe they

145
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: won't be horrible like what happened with the Raiders, but

146
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: still you're asking a lot. Now, maybe they won't be

147
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: horrible like the Packers were. I will say one thing

148
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: about Eagles fans. I was out on Friday or day

149
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 1: off and three different places in l A around town

150
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: swarming with Eagles fans. People kill the Eagles fans historically

151
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: saying the throwing batteries and they want to bite Santa's

152
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: nose off. All they did they travel, well, they travel

153
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 1: with bite Santa's nose off Santa Mark, Well, that's that's

154
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 1: that's that's what we know. We don't know what they did.

155
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: How many of you have seen Santa on person? We

156
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: don't know what the state of his noses. But I

157
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: will say this, all those Eagles fans flying home tonight,

158
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: can you imagine where they are compared they were they

159
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: were four hours ago. They're linebacker Nigel Bradham said, after

160
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: the game that Carson Wentz is our everything. He's like,

161
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: I guess that makes him the sun god, right, ra

162
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's or everything is pretty high preg And

163
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: the sad thing is like this game I think showed

164
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: I know the score was close by it really felt

165
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: like the Eagles were the better team in this game.

166
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: They end up with four h yeards just three hundred

167
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: for the Rams. I felt like the Rams had a

168
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: special teams touchdown which helped keep a minute and ultimately

169
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: like the Eagles are a better team and yet and

170
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, like what is it? What does it matter?

171
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: Hopefully when when we wake up tomorrow, this pod will

172
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 1: be at a date because like, oh, actually it's not

173
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: a terror, but you have to operate under the reports

174
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 1: that are very ominous that this is the end of

175
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: the road from wins and it's just depressing for the

176
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: For the Rams, they had some really key This was

177
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: a big setback for them. Not only could they gotten

178
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,960
Speaker 1: into the number one seed for the end. What are

179
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: you doing some calculations right now? Are you breaking up

180
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: when that goes all calculator? I really wasn't, Oh wow,

181
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: we're dialing up the aff calculator now online. Alright, Greg,

182
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: running on a seven modem. I was gonna go online

183
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: with the machine. I was gonna go a different route,

184
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: mentioning the two uh cornerback that does including one for

185
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: the year. But now, since you the tabulators out Seahawks

186
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: Rams next week NFC West, of course, on the line

187
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: in Seattle, Rams win that game, you still got a

188
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: pretty good chance at a bye. That's it. Cavon Webster

189
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 1: out for the deep math from Greg. I'm not sure

190
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: how any of us could have come upon Webster out

191
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: for the year. Jermaine Johnson concussion. Well probably that wasn't

192
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: really Greg's fault. That wasn't let us know. When you

193
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: actually have some tabulations, Yeah, they're running on that modem,

194
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: information will becoming. Here's the reality in the NFC. Now

195
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: there's there's a million scenarios. All these teams are still

196
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: playing each other. Oh good, Greg, playoff calculator now online.

197
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: Let's move on, starting Newton to the forty, Newton to

198
00:10:54,480 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: the Newton to yard line. Whoa, oh my good news.

199
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: Hold a come up with a play like that? Oh

200
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: Mick Mixon and his friend of w BT with the

201
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: call there Cam Newton's sixty two yard jaunt, stuck a

202
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: fork and a spirited Vikings comeback as the Panthers escaped

203
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: with a huge thirty in Charlotte, snapping Minnesota's eight game

204
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: winning streak. West you don't always know what version of

205
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: the Panthers you're gonna get. Today we got the version

206
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: that could beat anybody in the NFC. It was basically

207
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: three big plays. Jonathan Stewart went untouched sixty yards on

208
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: third and one UH to kick off the scoring. I

209
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: believe on the Panthers first drive, that was a big play.

210
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: Cam Newton did his typical escape artist routine in the

211
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: pocket to open up the second half and hit Devin

212
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: Funches for a touchdown. And then that's sixty two yard

213
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: UH jaunt that you described where he put a hell

214
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: of a juke move on Andrew Sendejo. The end of

215
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: those were the three big plays and and then the Vikings.

216
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: I don't know self destruct is the word is the

217
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: right word, but they made a lot of key mistakes,

218
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: including big drops by Kyle Rudolph, Stephan Diggs and Adam Feeling.

219
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: You don't expect that the way this season has gone

220
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: so far. I thought Keenham played much better than his

221
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: stat line would show. Uh. He brought them back a

222
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: couple of times in the fourth quarter and was undone

223
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: by mistakes in terms by an offensive line that was

224
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: just ravaged by injuries. We just talked about two other

225
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: NFC powers coming out of it. Does it raise or

226
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,559
Speaker 1: lower and you know in a considerable way your faith

227
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: in either team. I would say that I think a

228
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 1: little bit differently about the Vikings because if you look

229
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: hard enough, you see two chinks in their armor. They

230
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: by the end of the game, they're playing without three

231
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: fifths of their offensive line. Mike Remer's the right tackle

232
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: has been out for a while. Their starting center Pat

233
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: elf Line did not play, and then left tackle Riley

234
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: Rife suffered an ankle injury during the game, and that's huge.

235
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: Keenan was sacked six times today. His first nine starts

236
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: of the season, he had only been sacked five times total,

237
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 1: so this was a totally different operation they're running. And

238
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: then their kicker Kai for Bath appears to have the yips.

239
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: He's missed five kicks in the last four weeks. The Vikings,

240
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean, the Panthers, when they can run the ball,

241
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: are a very dangerous team. I mean, the Vikings today

242
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: couldn't run it at all. McKinnon leads them with forty

243
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: six arts and maybe it was just a big place,

244
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: but that's like kind of all they need with their

245
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: defensive line in Carolina. I give the Vikings a pass, though.

246
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: We went into week eleven looking at the Vikings saying, Wow,

247
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna learn a lot about the Vikings. Over the

248
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: next four weeks, they have the Rams and then three

249
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: road games against NFC playoff contenders, the Lions, Atlanta. Carolina,

250
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: you went three and one and I think ultimately, you

251
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: know you you looked very good doing it. The rest

252
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: of their schedule is not tough. They have a chance

253
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: to get the one seed. Now if the Eagles were

254
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: to slip up with with Foals and they're in good

255
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 1: position to get to buy and if you're Carolina, you're

256
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: asking to speaking of the football odds, you go into

257
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: green Bay or you have green Bay next week, and

258
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: you're getting green Bay with Aaron Rodgers versus what would

259
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: have been, you know, a sort of dead and green

260
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: Bay team that it could have been easily flattened. Here

261
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: nice landing spot. Next week they get to go come

262
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: home and face Cincinnati, who looks terrible this week, and

263
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 1: it might be a dead team walking at this point.

264
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: So you assume if they could get the right the

265
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: ship a little bit, get to eleven and three, and

266
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: then you got the Bears in the finale, they're still

267
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: in really good shape. That's the Vikings. Yeah, yeah, and

268
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: the I mean you the Panthers have a chance now

269
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: to get a buy as well. I mean they are

270
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: tied for the division lead in the NFC South, even

271
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: though it's been ugly at times, they are right there

272
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: in it. And I like seeing in this game Mario

273
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: Addison Julius Peppers both seem to have really good games.

274
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: Addison's played well the last couple of weeks like that

275
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: needs to be their identity. And Newton didn't have a

276
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: big passing game today, but that run is just the

277
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: reminder that he is completely unique in terms of what

278
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: he can do with the game online. So even even

279
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: when he's not sharp throwing the ball, or they they're

280
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,480
Speaker 1: not having a great day, he's always capable of stuff

281
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: like that. That was a big time run. With the

282
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: Vikings looking like they were poised to maybe steal that

283
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: game in Newton just said nope, well, that's why I

284
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: say that, I'm my opinion on the Panthers wasn't really changed.

285
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: Addison and Peppers played great. Sure it was against the

286
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: decimated offensive line too. And then on on offense. You know,

287
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: sixty of Jonathan Stewarts are heard in three yards came

288
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: on one play. Sixty two of Cam Newton's seventy rushing

289
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: yards came on one planning only had a hearn't thirty

290
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: seven passing. It was just the big plays and I

291
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 1: don't know if you can count on that every week.

292
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: What a year for the Dirty South. Finally, my obsession

293
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: with the NFC South is coming home half a decade.

294
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: What a year for two nine and four teams. You

295
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 1: got the Falcons at eight and five. It's fun. Let's

296
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: move on. Check in on another uh NFC playoff hopeful

297
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: and touch touch all seventy five yards, Chris Meyers with

298
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: box Blake Bortles on target all day, throwing for two touchdowns,

299
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: and the Jaguars defense made big plays when it counted

300
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: to hold off the Seattle Seahawks thirty four at the

301
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: Chlorine Pit. Greg Once again, the Jaguars author a performance

302
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: that makes you think, maybe, just maybe this is a

303
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: formula formula they could replicate for a few weeks in January.

304
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: This was the biggest win in the Jaguars organization in

305
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: a decade. I don't even think it's not a hot take,

306
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: There's no debate. It was also the win this year

307
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: that started to I think maybe we'll convince people nationally

308
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: like that this is a legitimate dangerous team in the

309
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: n f A f C because Bordles is absolutely playing better.

310
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: And I don't want to hear from Seahawks fans that

311
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: mentioned that the Jaguars got some breaks in this game.

312
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: Bobby Wagner went out with a hamstring injury in the

313
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: second half. kJ Wright went out with an injury late

314
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: in the game. That was all important, but the Jaguars

315
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 1: were winning this game in a balanced a where the

316
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: defense kind of started to collapse in the fourth quarter

317
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: when Russell Wilson started doing his thing too play drive

318
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: two drives that took only one or two plays, and

319
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: the Jaguars offense did their job. They had a five

320
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: minute drive, They picked up first downs when they needed to.

321
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette closed out the game with a third and

322
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: eleven run. Essentially, and it's a balanced team. They're good

323
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: enough on offense to beat pretty good teams. Uh I was.

324
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 1: I watched the end of this game, and it's not

325
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 1: the first time I've seen Pete carroll Seahawks totally lose

326
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: their composures. Michael Bennett might, I don't know, he might

327
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: be suspended from that. I think he might. Ridiculous takedown

328
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 1: of Brandon Linder, total stunner that Michael Bennett didn't handle

329
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: losing well. This has happened a few too many times

330
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: with Pete Carroll's teams. Quentin Jefferson tried to go into

331
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: the stands. It was I mean, it was embarrassing for

332
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: the seat that got a little that got a little

333
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: scary for a second because you got the malice in

334
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: the palace flashbacks there. We do not want the three

335
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: hundred pound lineman jumping into the audience to to beat

336
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: up on a portly fan. Yeah, we didn't want that.

337
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: For watching that together, and you're you're watching what could

338
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: be potentially ten to fifteen NFL dot Com post. This

339
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: way been another step. If you you might have a few,

340
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: you might still have three or four from this game.

341
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 1: I think you're nine and four year Jacksonville. You have

342
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: the Texans next week, and then you go play the

343
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: forty Niners. You could easily be eleven and four heading

344
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: into that final week showdown with the Tech with the Titans,

345
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: and the Titans don't get their act together, maybe you've

346
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: won the division. But right I think maybe they have,

347
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: and there they could even theoretically get in the mix

348
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: for a bibe more likely as well. I think today

349
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,120
Speaker 1: was huge for the ANC South and you see their confidence.

350
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean Jalen Ramsey, who West has talked up as

351
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: his defensive player of the Year, had a good game.

352
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: A J. Booyer was even better. I mean, the two

353
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: of them together just play with such an incredible confidence.

354
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 1: Boyer had uh two interceptions. They picked off Russell Wilson

355
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 1: three times overall. At one point, Russell Wilson was nine

356
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: for seventeen for thirty six yards in two interceptions. That

357
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: that is midway through the third quarter. And then he

358
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: got it going kind of like he always does, but

359
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: it was it was too little to Seattle's credit, or

360
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: excuse me, to Jacksonville's credit. Russell Wilson started to look

361
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: like he was going to do one of those things

362
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: and steal another game and Jacksonville stepped up and got

363
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: to stop then ran the clock out. Yeah, they got

364
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: the ball bat with four or five minutes to go,

365
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: only down six, which it looked like, Yeah, they were

366
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: not going to be in a position to do that.

367
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: There were some blown coverages by the Jaguars. Blake board,

368
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: I mean, this team is feeling themselves. After the game,

369
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: he said, we're just like teams aren't used to this

370
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,719
Speaker 1: coming down here. We beat the crap out of them.

371
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 1: Said yeah, we beat the crap out of them for

372
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: sixty minutes. Blake portals very confident. Don't get too confident,

373
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,199
Speaker 1: don't play I like it. Two good games, two good

374
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: games in a row, no doubt, be confident. That's important

375
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: in sports two. You know, on a big third down

376
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 1: in thirteen they decided to run the ball with four

377
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: net instead of portals. And then on a third and

378
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: leven they ran it to four net again. Trust we

379
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: brought up the same play with the guiling call it

380
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:02,679
Speaker 1: yet it shows you where the condems and then in

381
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: the end it worked like in the next drive Bordos.

382
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: It should be said, though, is playing better. I mean

383
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: he has made good decisions and for the most part,

384
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: made pretty good throws last few weeks. Special things happening

385
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: down in the chlorine pit. Let's move on and check

386
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,400
Speaker 1: in with another NFC hopeful. Third down and six from

387
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: the twenty five of Cleveland. Williams loan back, quick toss Adams.

388
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: What Simon Spensfils got the first time got to the

389
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: end zone from the touchdown, PA, Packers have one in

390
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: overtime again Adams. I'll walk off five yard touchdown reception

391
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: Brett Hunley to Davante Adams, and overtime did it for

392
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: the Packers, who rallied back from two touchdowns down in

393
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: the final quarter uh to twenty one win in overtime

394
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: over the Browns, who falls to oh and thirteen in

395
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 1: cruel fashion. That is too straight overtime victories for the Packers,

396
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: and um Nick shook now Joe wins us Nick shook,

397
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:06,639
Speaker 1: of course, Ohio native wrote about this game on NFL

398
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: dot Com, and um for much of this contest shook.

399
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 1: It looked like the Packers were gonna blow a golden opportunity,

400
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: but the Browns opened the door, and now it's Aaron

401
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 1: Rodgers set to walk back into the NFC playoff race.

402
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 1: Actually wrote a lot more and had to. I was

403
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: told to go back and kind of down a little bit,

404
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: change the tone a little bit, uh from ranting shadowy

405
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: league figures didn't of course. Now, I mean, what a

406
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 1: game for the Packers, who for three quarters looked like

407
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: they didn't care if they were, you know, wanted to

408
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: be in the playoff picture at all of it, didn't

409
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: care that a Rodgers you know, was set set to

410
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: come back next week, and looked like they were sleepwalking

411
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: through the thing. And then somebody woke up up and said, hey,

412
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose to the winless team here. You're gonna

413
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: be the guys, You're gonna be the Chargers. You better

414
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: fix that, and luckily for them they did. Yeah, and West,

415
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,719
Speaker 1: I guess we should give it up to Brent hun

416
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: Lew's up and down, but at the end of the

417
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,920
Speaker 1: day he gets the ball back to Aaron Rodgers barring

418
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: a setback seven and six, and there's still alive. It

419
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: looked like it was gonna be a lot worse, and

420
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: with a few good performances, including the end of this game,

421
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 1: he kind of kept his team in and that's what

422
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: they wanted him to do. Would you mind if I

423
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 1: gave it up for Davante Adams. Go ahead, do it.

424
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 1: I feel like Davante Adams Gregg's mentioned this before. He

425
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: has earned himself a lot of money and the Packers

426
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: are gonna have some decisions to make because they've already

427
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: paid Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, two receivers who aren't

428
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: as good as Davante Adam. Right, I mean, the difference

429
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:34,719
Speaker 1: between Adams and Nelson has showed up even more with

430
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: Brett Hunley because Adam can can make plays on his own.

431
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: He is a huge reason why they've won any of

432
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: the three games that they have with with with Brett

433
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 1: Hunley of wide receivers in the NFL. Maybe more on

434
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: that game ending play gets spun down after a three

435
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: or four yard game. Really, it was always looked like

436
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: a player where they were just trying to get closer

437
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: for a field goal. But when you have a player

438
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: specials Adams, he turns it into the touchdown. He goes

439
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,240
Speaker 1: right up the tunnel. Great tunnel move. You know, we've

440
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 1: we've seen players go up the tunnel after a big

441
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: play and sometimes it's not so organic. This time the

442
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 1: tunnel was right there. Davanta Adams runs up the tunnel

443
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: and it's over time too, and it's over time. The

444
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: game is over, and it's like, let's get out of here.

445
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: And I wrote about this on NFL dot com organic

446
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: in the sense there's the tunnel's games over, it's time

447
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: to go home, symbolic and hey, guys, let's get the

448
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 1: hell out of Cleveland. Let's get back on the plane

449
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 1: because Aaron Rodgers is gonna play with this now. If

450
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: you've got to be excited, if you're on the Packers,

451
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: they must be flying on that plane because they saved

452
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: their season when it all seemed lost in a really

453
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: embarrassing way. And if you're Aaron Rodgers, the playoffs begin

454
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,719
Speaker 1: right away because you have the Panthers and then you

455
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: have the Vikings. Still has to get medically cleared, which

456
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport, the NFL media insider, said, I think I

457
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: could just call him Ian at this point. I thought

458
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: that was a bit. I guess it's I don't know, uh.

459
00:23:55,600 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: They NFL Networks was gonna say, it's NFL Network, that's right. They.

460
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: He said Rogers looked great at practice, but that the

461
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,719
Speaker 1: doctor's test of how strong the bone is really has

462
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: nothing to do with that, Well, wouldn't we don't you

463
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: feel like we would have heard something somewhere that there's

464
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 1: some measured doubt or concerned that he might. I mean,

465
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: all we're hearing his glowing reports. If suddenly he weren't cleared,

466
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta be you gotta be kidding me

467
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: with that concept. He's really raised the stakes on his

468
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: relax and run the table bit. Those in those scenarios

469
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: like all they had to do was controlled the destiny.

470
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: Now they need some help for him to come in,

471
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: and you know, the Seahawks, I think help. I think

472
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: it felt like the end of something. It's funny how

473
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: much things can change in a week. And maybe this

474
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 1: is an overreaction too, but the Seahawks losing Bobby Wagner

475
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 1: and kJ Wright, we'll see how serious those are, and

476
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: losing this game, they feel like they're gonna be I

477
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 1: feel like they're gonna fall out of it. And so

478
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: that's one team you still gotta pass. The Falcons most

479
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: likely next week, right, But I don't think they will.

480
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I'm kind of with Greg on

481
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: this because I went into last week's Sunday night game

482
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: expecting that game to be the Seahawks fall off where

483
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: they would just get destroyed by the Eagles, and obviously

484
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: that didn't happen. But it depends if Wagner comes back.

485
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: They're playing in Seattle. They are now I'm not not,

486
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm not. But if Wagner, you know we talked about

487
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: Wentz could have been the m v P. Bobby Wagner

488
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: could have been the defensive player of the year, and

489
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 1: he that looked like an injury that might keep him

490
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:27,439
Speaker 1: out for a long time. That is a big time injury.

491
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: And now you've got the Packers coming in and you

492
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: do feel like, like, what would what did you rant about?

493
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: By the way, I want to know, let me let

494
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,359
Speaker 1: me set this up so you now we got Shook

495
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 1: and Cessil together. The rent was about the Browns letting

496
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,399
Speaker 1: a golden opportunity to get on the board slip away,

497
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: and now there's only three chances left to avoid infamy

498
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: there it is waiting for that. I actually had to

499
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: go through a multi stage process today with this one.

500
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: Usually like the Browns was the game and I'm like, yeah,

501
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: you know, they're a young team, they're not good. You

502
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: know this and that. But Mark Stanby you're on deck.

503
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 1: This game gave me more hope in this season then

504
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: I've had since they won their one win last season

505
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 1: and then they ripped it all away. There's a stat

506
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 1: that I I quote tweeted somebody on the day they

507
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,479
Speaker 1: had something like twenty two last play walk off losses

508
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: since N four and Hugh Jackson's time. And you wonder

509
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: why when they're up by two touchdowns and people are

510
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: coming to the news room and sitting down next to me,

511
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: and me and Mark are you know, looking at each

512
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: other across the news room thinking oh, this might be it,

513
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: and they're saying, Browns are gonna do it, The Browns

514
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: are gonna do what they're gonna win. I say, shut

515
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: your mouth, your mouth, And it happened again today. Well,

516
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: I don't think either one of us at one point

517
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: where greatly we went and talked to each other like

518
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: four times, two things have to happen. I think we

519
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: it's so dark at this point that you can't come

520
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,679
Speaker 1: out of this with the Giants grabbing the number one

521
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 1: pick and getting at that. You know, in April the

522
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 1: consensus number one quarterback have to worry about that. Now.

523
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: I think that this this took care of that. But

524
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: now something attached to that is pretty dark because you

525
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: the Ravens, the Bears in Chicago who just wiped out

526
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: Cincinnati today, and then you go on the road to

527
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: play Pittsburgh, Oh in sixteen is it's not just on

528
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 1: the horizon. Potentially, it feels like it would be shocking

529
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 1: if it doesn't happen. And I wonder if that will

530
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,960
Speaker 1: be enough for Cleveland to go from number two back

531
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: to number one on Dan's pain rankings. I wonder what

532
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: more Cleveland would need to do to get that number

533
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 1: one spot. Ago it's been a bit of a because

534
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: the number one team is the Chargers, and they're the

535
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: friskiest team in the a f C right now. Chargers,

536
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 1: it was more a a statement on the people of

537
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: San Diego. We were. But but it's funny because when

538
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: that came out back then, we were in your crass. Oh,

539
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: it absolutely has because I was. I was. I had

540
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: ears on the entire conversation that made that happen, and

541
00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: I kept telling you guys, stop acting like Cleveland is

542
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 1: this upstart team that's about to reel off nine victories

543
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: before even September's hit. And you know, we're you're you're

544
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: all in thirteen at this a couple of days ago,

545
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,719
Speaker 1: though you're very optimistic about the future, and if you

546
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: want to improve your team and improve your coaching staff,

547
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: oh and sixteen, it would be infamy. And I hope

548
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen. And maybe this will happen at one

549
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: in fifteen two, but you might get a bad coach

550
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: out of there, because I'm not sure. Like this is

551
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: another example of a team that should have won a game,

552
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,239
Speaker 1: that lost the game, and at some point doesn't that

553
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: come down to coaching on some level. Pro Football Talk

554
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: reporting tonight that a lot of people believe even though

555
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Hasselm says Hugh Jackson's back that John Dorsey uh

556
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: is going to try to convince him that to get

557
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: his own coach, which is the earliest possible power struggle

558
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: in NFL. His one when they cut away to Haslan,

559
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: John Dorsey's sitting together like eight times, and Dorsey every

560
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: time is talking NonStop. So I I think it's very possible.

561
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: And I think that actually if has Lom, you know,

562
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 1: wanted to show some faith in his new higher that

563
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 1: maybe there's a reason you don't bring Hugh Jackson back.

564
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: There's been too many games like this. One final point. Unfortunately,

565
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: could never change the pain rankings because I was told

566
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 1: a shadowy league figure is not to write about the pain.

567
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,719
Speaker 1: That's that's it. Know what justice has served? They're all

568
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: out serpent right now? They can they get nice weather? Yeah?

569
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: They have an eighty degree Christmas? What do they care?

570
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: San Diego? People from San Diego hate when people not

571
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: from San Diego say that. It's like, you shouldn't have

572
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: to worry about anything you can serve from. What if

573
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: I don't serve what they have? All right, let's move

574
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: on one more thing, the Eagles. You brought up Carson

575
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: Wentz again. This report from Adam Schefter, Carson Wentz is

576
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: a c L was loose when it was tested manually today,

577
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: which is why the team fears its torn wents the

578
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: schedule to undergo an m r I in Philly on Monday.

579
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,320
Speaker 1: That according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, so as we

580
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: get the drips and drabs of the Carson One situation,

581
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:47,959
Speaker 1: will share it on this podcast. Moving on second and five,

582
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 1: back to Prescott's left. This is a bletch and they

583
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: throw a slant of desert. He caught it and broke

584
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: Kula forty thirty twenty a block from Beasley and into

585
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: the end zone. And there's your big pla rat sham,

586
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: the sham god k r l D with the call.

587
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott through three touchdown passes, including that fifty yard

588
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: strike to Dez Bryant, as the Cowboys kept themselves in

589
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: the NFC playoff picture with a thirty to ten win

590
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: over the Giants, who need a lot more than Eli

591
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: Manning to stay competitive in games against teams that need

592
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: w's mark. Dak Prescott is playing like a star again.

593
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: That and the nearing return of Zeke Elliott keeps Dallas

594
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: in the hope of business. Took care of business today,

595
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: that's for sure. I mean this game you could feel,

596
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: I think in MetLife Stadium that you know, when it

597
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: opened and Eli Manning under center that this MetLife, which

598
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 1: is a stadium which has been quiet for the Giants

599
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: all year, understandably was raucous for a brief amount of time.

600
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,959
Speaker 1: The problem is is that Eli Manning, despite all the

601
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, the reputation and the fanfare at this point,

602
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 1: is a guy that opened thirteen for fifteen, and all

603
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: I could think of were the two awful and completions

604
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 1: he threw, and as the game wore on and Dallas

605
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 1: got hot and des Ryan shook off two early drops

606
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: to streak for a fifty yard touchdown that put that tied,

607
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,880
Speaker 1: the game attend ted. Dallas just took off from there

608
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: to The Giants never scored again. Their defense gives up

609
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: big plays and it's eli Manning has not a surprise

610
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 1: zero deep ball at this point. His receivers made a

611
00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: couple incredibly awful drops. They've got nothing else to rely

612
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: on on that side of the ball, and the better

613
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: team just utterly took over down the stretch. Giants scored

614
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: thirteen points in two games against the Cowboys, the Cowboys,

615
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: who have given up more points per drive than any

616
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 1: team in football going into last week. I mean, that

617
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 1: says all you need to know about the two thousand

618
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: and seventeen Giants. But the Cowboys found a way to

619
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: win two ugly division games. They get the Raiders, who

620
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: are not looking very good next week. Like it is

621
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: a little more fun to have them and the Packers

622
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: in this NFC race. But neither team got a ton

623
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: of helped us, especially with Carson Wentz now probably exiting

624
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: the picture Aaron Rodgers and the Cowboys are always fun

625
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: to have around. What are those teams sneaking in? I

626
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: would sign off on that. It's like, I just don't know.

627
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: If nothing else. The week sixteen game when Zeke comes

628
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: back against Seattle, which is on Christmas Eve, like that,

629
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: that feels like it could be a really big game

630
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: as long as Dallas can take care of business next

631
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: week against Oakland that's a home game too, which was

632
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,719
Speaker 1: set up really nicely for the Cowboys. I think it's

633
00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:26,280
Speaker 1: hilarious how we look at different teams with very similar records,

634
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: Like you look at all these teams are now seven

635
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: and six after this week, and they're they're still in

636
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: the hunt, and they're still in contention, and that some

637
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 1: of them have belief And then and then you look

638
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: at other ones with the same exact record and you have,

639
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: you know, no confidence in them. I can't pick the Lions,

640
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 1: who will talk about a little later, No, what's talking

641
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: about them the way we're talking about because you're watched

642
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 1: enough Lions games to know, you know, and I don't

643
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:45,880
Speaker 1: think this team has it, and I'm not sure if

644
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. I don't think the Cowboys having the three quarters.

645
00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: This was a tie game, well all three. I'd say though,

646
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,440
Speaker 1: is that they've somehow over the last two weeks they

647
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: figured out how to live without as Zekial Elliott. They

648
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: had their best rushing performance of the season last week,

649
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: and today I thought Dak Prescott played one of the

650
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 1: best games he's played all year, career high in yardage,

651
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: and it didn't look that's no miss that. You know,

652
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 1: that box score literally holds up. That's big Dell stays alive.

653
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: Let's check in. Was that a God Sham God reference?

654
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:13,840
Speaker 1: I think it might have been. I've been calling him

655
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,360
Speaker 1: to sham God for a couple of years now. It

656
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: must be God Sham God. Former Providence point guard. Yeah,

657
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 1: it has to be sham God. Great Elite eight run

658
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: by God Sham God back in the day. Yes, that's

659
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: where it's from. Alright, cool, I'm glad we figured that out.

660
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: Speaking of the Lions, Prager's ready from there's the Snap

661
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: five Mule box spot by Martin Chick five Pragers. It is.

662
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: He nailed it. He sure did. Dan Miller w j R.

663
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: With the call, Mattie Stafford through for three eight one

664
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: with that bum hand matt Prator hit the forty six

665
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: yard field goal, uh in the final seconds, and the

666
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions they stay in the race over the lowly

667
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Greg, this is what the Lions do.

668
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: They hang around, But for how much longer? Who do

669
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: they play next week? I think that's I'm gonna tell you.

670
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: I'll tell you right now answer to the question, do

671
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: you want to do some tabulation? Essentially, look, they looked

672
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: like the same team that we've seen all season, which

673
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 1: is the home to Bears at since home to Packers.

674
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: Let's tabulate, baby, that's manageable. Just looking for excuse playoff

675
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:29,959
Speaker 1: calculator now online now one. Weirdly, the calculator now says

676
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,239
Speaker 1: they've they've won the Super Bowls. The you're gonna They're

677
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: gonna do it this This performance was similar to what

678
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 1: they've done all year with Matthew Stafford made a lot

679
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: of great plays. Uh. The their defense kind of collapsed

680
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: at some big spots and allowed a big comeback. There

681
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: were eight turnovers in this game. I felt like every

682
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: time I looked up Jameis Winston or Stafford were turning

683
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: the ball over. Winston had three, Stafford had too. But

684
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the game when they needed to,

685
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,200
Speaker 1: they made the drive for the game winning field goal.

686
00:34:58,239 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: And Matt Praytor your boy Dan through. Yeah, and I'm

687
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: not huge on the earring and his general demeanor at

688
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl four years ago, but he is an

689
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: excellent place kicker. Well, I got I gotta give him that.

690
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: How excited should we get about a Lions team that

691
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: had a mirror duel as a healthy scratch today? Really

692
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: he was healthy. He's been hurt lately. I read really

693
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: that they were that they thought it was more for performance.

694
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: Now I'll have to look into that, but eight, come

695
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: on with this. They certainly didn't miss him. I thought

696
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 1: last week when when the fifty three yards rushing come on?

697
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: Come on? Yeah, I'm sorry, they're very fast. He is.

698
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 1: He is a healthy scratch. He was out with an

699
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: injury last week and they just kept him on the sideline.

700
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: About that, it is called me doing my homework. I

701
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: thought he was supposed to be like gl Sayers, Todd

702
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: boll said, or Barry Sanders. I guess they're happy to

703
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: have two point nine yards rushing in a critical game

704
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 1: against an NFC opponent. There there. Uh, Well, I think

705
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: the o ridic has been a better player for them.

706
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: Certainly this year there win was typical too because your

707
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: boy West Glover Quinn made an incredible play for a

708
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 1: forced fumbo was a key to their victory, and Darius

709
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,760
Speaker 1: Slay made a great interception. They do have individual players.

710
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron had one of the better games of his career.

711
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: Like they have individual players that you can get excited about.

712
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: It just doesn't add up to enough. It adds up

713
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: to an eight and eight team. Yeah, schedule makers don't

714
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: do many favors making him play the Packers in the

715
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: last game of the season every year. Yes, the old policy.

716
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: Let's play the divisional games like you gotta do it,

717
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,240
Speaker 1: gotta do it. Um, all right, there you go, Nick Shook,

718
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: you are now luckily we we had a little miscommunication.

719
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 1: Shook was getting into the car to leave right when

720
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 1: I hit him up on our I am client that

721
00:36:35,920 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: shall not be named. But now you can get back

722
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: in the car, Shook, and you're gonna you're gonna go

723
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: get a pump up. Oh yeah, it's one says that

724
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: no one has ever said. It is not just get

725
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: a pup in That is normal Jim terminology that people

726
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 1: are still saying that now though it sounds like like

727
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,319
Speaker 1: something that a meathead. We say it all the time. Mark, Yeah,

728
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: like Nick and I are just like I'm an undercover

729
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: meat head. I have one question for you, Dad, Yes, Nick,

730
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: what kind of earring was Matt Prater wearing? It was

731
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: a diamond stud in his left ear, I believe, which

732
00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 1: is I mean whatever, the ring wasn't a big deal.

733
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: It was the earring in concert with the elitist attitude

734
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,319
Speaker 1: um taunting reporters from the little bullpen they had set

735
00:37:21,360 --> 00:37:26,440
Speaker 1: up at media day. That's super Bowl by bears, Like Matt,

736
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: first of all, come back to us, bro. I can't

737
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: believe I'm talking about this again. I talked about that

738
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,839
Speaker 1: Prayer's behavior at the Super Bowl forty eight three times

739
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 1: every season. Anyway, he's your outlighter, Yeah, he's my he's

740
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 1: my lighter. Mark West at super Bowl forty eight had

741
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: a run in with alt lighter at the at the

742
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 1: New Jersey Meadow ends. That's a story for Do you

743
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: feel like at any point there's a level of self

744
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: like reflection here. You've you've gotten into with Matthew Prater,

745
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: You've gotten into with Bennett, Michael Bennett. I mean the

746
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: common denominator. Potentially here is a Dan Hansas individual versus

747
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: just the irritated player. Just let's again look at the

748
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: two individuals. You have a strong look at what Michael

749
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: Bennett did today, Look what he did to the with

750
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: cancer last season, and then look what he said about

751
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 1: my jederal I can only hope to one day rome

752
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: among notable public figures and try to shook. We'd love it.

753
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: Ever tell you about the time I wore an earring

754
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: to a job interview. What wait, I'm gonna guess what's

755
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 1: his earring? You had the hoop. The earring I wore

756
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: to the interview was the diamond stud But I actually

757
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 1: I have one of those crucifix earrings that Barry Bonds

758
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 1: hand on. This was like six I think I was

759
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: a picture. Do you have any photographic evidence at this

760
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 1: time of your life because we gotta put it on

761
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: the Twitter. I don't know if I have any pictures

762
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: Like in l A, you had a Barry Bonds crucifix earring.

763
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 1: This is the most amazing revelation ever heard. This is

764
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: breaking news. Were you interviewing at a charity? I was

765
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: interviewing had a law firm like the most conservative law

766
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: firm in Cincinnati. Well, you're a god fearing man. At

767
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: he gave you the job. She gave me the job,

768
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: and she said, let me give you a piece of advice.

769
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 1: Never ever wear an earring to a job interview again.

770
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: But I can go forty forty if I can just

771
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: get the chance. All right, Nick Shook, get that pumping.

772
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 1: You get a pump on, you drink your protein shake,

773
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: you put on one of those belts, and uh, they

774
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: put a bandanna on. If you shook, you gotta get

775
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 1: on your weight lifting gloves once you lift. Oh yeah,

776
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: you gotta treat yourself right or your body will betray you.

777
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: But Shooks bodies and not betraying him. And that's just

778
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: a compliment. I took the work of the Workforce seminar

779
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: about sexual harassment. Nick Shook is a healthy individual. That's

780
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 1: all I'm saying. Complimentary, Hendrick Questers, that's all you. Please,

781
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 1: please please, Let's move into feeling the temperature of the

782
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 1: room correctly, get the right side. Run at the tim

783
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: inside the just got ad writers all away into the

784

Speaker 1: end zone. Touchdown Chance O City studles in the sweet

785
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 1: nectar of the end zone on thirteen yard right side

786
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: run h Mitch halt Us of k c f X

787
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,280
Speaker 1: with the call the Chiefs are off the Schneide cream

788
00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: Hunt ran for a hundred sixteen yards and a touchdown.

789
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,120
Speaker 1: Excuse me, and the Chiefs shutdown Derek Carr in the

790
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:35,479
Speaker 1: Raiders um in win um Kansas City's losing streak over

791
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 1: at four. They right the ship a little bit here

792
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: as we head towards the final games of the season.

793
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 1: Oakland meanwhile, pulled another uh no show in a game

794
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: with big steaks. Greg, how will you remember Raiders as

795
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: a team that didn't show up to their biggest games,

796
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 1: that not only didn't win those games, but weren't competitive,

797
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 1: that stepped on the field against the team in free

798
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: fall in Kansas City and was so clearly out coached.

799
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: And this is what I think we've been saying when

800
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: we've had some faith that Andy Reid will figure out

801
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: a way to write the ship. Ultimately, the mismatch of

802
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and Naggy their offensive coordinator against the Raiders

803
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: defense and whatever they were doing defensively to slow down

804
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,880
Speaker 1: Oakland and the lack of you know, solutions that Oakland

805
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: could come up with, I think was the difference. Because

806
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 1: the players aren't any better on Kansas City than Oakland.

807
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: And this was a very one sided game. The final

808
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,799
Speaker 1: score is really misleading. Was twenty six to nothing through

809
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: three quarters, and it could have been thirty eight to

810
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: nothing if not for two or three red zone drops

811
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 1: and misplays by the Chiefs. Like it was just a

812
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: total no show. And it was the type of game

813
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: I think that could get coaches fired if the next

814
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: couple of weeks are like this, what an embarrassment. It's

815
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: it shows you that even a team today, pick a

816
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: team that we're super excited about, could be an epic

817
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: disaster year from now. It's like the Raid As we

818
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: came in thinking they haven't had major injuries that have

819
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 1: set them back like some of these other teams. Derek

820
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: Carr was an m v P level quarterback last year

821
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 1: and the guys feels like he's fallen off a shelf.

822
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: To me, I mean, what a letdown this season has been.

823
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: I mean they entered the season, they're done a lot.

824
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 1: I know they're only one game back. We did we

825
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: forked him back in the day too, didn't we remember, Lindsay,

826
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: let us know if we forked the Raiders? Okay, good, um, good?

827
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:32,320
Speaker 1: Job guys, but you know he Derek Carr suffered the

828
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 1: ankle injury, the leg injury last season, got healthy, everyone

829
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: excited about the team. They get Marshall Lynch is the

830
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: final piece and then like in a game like this,

831
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: as they say, the game script changes and Marshall Lynch

832
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: only shows up in garbage time basically, and they're not

833
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: even competitive. It's just been such a bummer of a

834
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,279
Speaker 1: season for Raiders and the people of Oakland who are

835
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: losing this team. And this was supposed to be that

836
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: that bittersweet Super Bowl run year. And that's been part

837
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: of the reason why I blame the coaching. Like Marshawn

838
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: Lynch was running great from the beginning of the game

839
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 1: on and they just went away from him so early,

840
00:43:03,640 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: and Derek Carr was clearly not playing well. It was

841
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: one of yeah, I think his worst games, uh in

842
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: the last few years. Certainly missed receivers that were open.

843
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 1: Rich Gannon, former Raiders quarterback, really killing Car for not

844
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: seeing guys that were open down the field. Like he

845
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: just his mind was a little scrambled. Some some misthrows,

846
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: some some picks and give the Chiefs here's what the

847
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: car had to say after the game, it sucked, it

848
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: wasn't good enough, and you put it all on me.

849
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,359
Speaker 1: Don't don't. Don't you blame one coach, one player saw

850
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: my fault. Coaches off the hook, Greg, So you put

851
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: that to bed. I'll put a little on the defense too,

852
00:43:43,120 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: I mean secondary so so bad for that team. Guys

853
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: are wide open for the Chiefs. And Chris Jones for

854
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, had a monster game, really ended a bunch

855
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 1: of drives and gives the Chiefs a chance here. As

856
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 1: bad as this last six weeks have been, they can

857
00:43:56,719 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: essentially win the division next week by beating the Chargers Saturday.

858
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: A little Saturday football back, alright that I like that?

859
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,880
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, And it's we are sometimes too quick to

860
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 1: write off teams. All took the Chief's winning a game,

861
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it seems like they're in

862
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: the driver and I like the Charges to win that game.

863
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: I don't think they're as good a team, but if

864
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: they do win that game, that will be a season

865
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,319
Speaker 1: sweep over the Chargers. You don't think the Chiefs are

866
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: is gonna Yeah. I don't think the Chiefs are as

867
00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 1: good as the Chargers, but if they could somehow win

868
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,640
Speaker 1: that game. They're in great shape. All right, let's check

869
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: much better matchup than last year's Bryce Petty versus Matt

870
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: Moore Saturday. Thank you. I'll never forget that matchup. I

871
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: seriously don't even remember it happening. Uh, let's check in

872
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: on the Chargers under center is Rivers fakes the hand

873
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: off that Rivers going deep as a receiver, Tyrone Williams

874
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 1: makes the catch twenty Tell the house Rivers to Tyrolle

875
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: Williams seventy five yards knock on wood by the way, people,

876
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: I I we didn't understand that the reference was tied

877
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: to said song. But we've all heard that song. I've

878
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:07,879
Speaker 1: heard that song a thousand, the whole thing. Just give

879
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: me a little more of the melody. I'm not I'm

880
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: not a cat coming the shoulder shaking, eyra, but it's

881
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 1: like it's a I mean it has I think we've

882
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 1: heard that song probably twelve times. Is it like a

883
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 1: seventies like pop? M hm, so well, And I've just

884
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 1: been hearing in the streets of l A. Matt money

885
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 1: Smith clearly, you know, is getting it going. And now

886
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,480
Speaker 1: people are just seeing it to each other outside of car.

887
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: You know, that's yelling and influence. Mad Money Smith is

888
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: gonna get an extra playoff game to announce as well.

889
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: Think about that too, Like Money, that's carefully chosen, like

890
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: he he wants to have basically a catchphrase that he's

891
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: known for. He's going with knock on wood and I

892
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 1: like it. I'm in are all sign he tapped into

893
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: his musical background perfectly. All right, beautiful, let's put a

894
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 1: knock on wood on our countdown. But I don't know

895
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 1: if we've heard our best knock on wood yet, so

896
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:02,800
Speaker 1: let's keep our ears um attuned anyway. Phil Rivers passed

897
00:46:02,880 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 1: or nineteen yards two touchdowns. The Chargers continued to thrive

898
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:10,879
Speaker 1: four straight wins, now a thirty to thirteen win over

899
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: the Redskins Sizzler. The Chargers are the proverbial team nobody

900
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: wants to play right now. They are and you know,

901
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 1: instead of some sort of a letdown like you might

902
00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 1: expect from some of these teams that get hot for

903
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: two weeks, then let go an utter rampage in the

904
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: first half. Five straight scoring drives and they essentially three

905
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty four yards in the first half, which

906
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: is the most of the charge we've had since the

907
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: most by any team in the first half since two

908
00:46:39,600 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: thousand and ten, and it looked that way. And it

909
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: wasn't just big plays. They had big plays, but they

910
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: minced up Washington, a team that looks totally lost at

911
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: sea over the last two weeks. Kirk Cousins meanwhile, had

912
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: a hundred and twelve passing yards in the first If

913
00:46:53,239 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: I think maybe this Redskins team can come back, how

914
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 1: do they answer seven passing yards in the third quarter.

915
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,439
Speaker 1: They never got anything going. There was never were any

916
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: threat of Washington getting into this game on any level.

917
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: They didn't score at one point for something like thirty

918
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: seven minutes, and l a at home in a stadium

919
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 1: with a lot of Redskins fans in there, took care

920
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,880
Speaker 1: of business and they hammered this team. It was impressive

921
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: to watch. This was an O and four team that

922
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:23,080
Speaker 1: has more opposing fans at their home games, essentially don't

923
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:27,319
Speaker 1: have a home field advantage. They've climbed out of oh

924
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,560
Speaker 1: and four to first place at seven six. It's really impressive.

925
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,359
Speaker 1: They just have it and we like we felt bad

926
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: for that kicker, but a better kicker and they are

927
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: right in the mix for the BI potentially. I mean,

928
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,760
Speaker 1: it's been that type of turnaround. Redskins had nine first downs.

929
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: You don't see that too often where a team is

930
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: in single digits. I mean, they they almost tripled them

931
00:47:47,600 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: in total yardage. It was eleven first downs to one

932
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 1: at one point. I mean, the Redskins had no game

933
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,719
Speaker 1: plan to get back into this game, and there was

934
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,719
Speaker 1: an interview DJ Swaringer after the game repeatedly said that

935
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,719
Speaker 1: you knew this team was gonna come out flat, the

936
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 1: Redskins because the way they looked in practice. They were

937
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 1: blod practice all week. That's not a great look for

938
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 1: Jake Ruden. And again you wonder if he is a

939
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: guy to keep an eye on now as they've missed

940
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs two straight years and they're kind of stumbling

941
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: down the stretch here. It could be a bloody Black

942
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,320
Speaker 1: Monday this year. I know they're always pretty bad. A

943
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: couple of scenarios out of the way already, I think

944
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: we maybe could get another one or two out of

945
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,359
Speaker 1: the way. Greg, you're the QB Index guru. Is there

946
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: a hotter quarterback over the past month than Phil Rivers? No,

947
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's and it's the opposite of what his

948
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 1: last few years have been If you guys remember he's

949
00:48:36,640 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 1: come out hot where people are talking m v P

950
00:48:38,719 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: through the first half of the season for two or

951
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 1: three straight years, and then he's had a really tough,

952
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: you know, closing stretch. This year, he starts out slow,

953
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: but no, I think he's playing as well as any

954
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:51,839
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league over last month. Let's now check in.

955
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Chris, there he goes. It's about time. Look

956
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 1: at you flying. I love having West in the studio

957
00:49:00,600 --> 00:49:03,759
Speaker 1: with us. Let's check in with another and another. A

958
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 1: f C wild card hopeful McCoy in the backfield, takes

959
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: the handoff, runs up the middle, breaks a tackle piece

960
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 1: in southern ten, clups to the left eight and the

961
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 1: end zone. Buffalo wins twenty one yard touchdown run by

962
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: the Bills. They win in overtime thirteen and seven, and

963
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,759
Speaker 1: a whole host of Bills are diving all over the

964
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 1: snow and chasing down the Shawn McCoy as the Bills

965
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 1: pull it out in overtime. Incredible game. John Murphy w

966
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: g R with the call Yes, Leshawn McCoy scored twenty

967
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:43,160
Speaker 1: one yards out with one thirty three to play in

968
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 1: overtime and the Bills got out of Orchard Park in

969
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: a blizzard, a thirteen to seven win over the Colts.

970
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: Will forever remember this game, or at least I will

971
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: as the Blizzard Bowl. Um. There are snow games and

972
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: then there is what happened in Western New York today.

973
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: It was and I watched this game closely for for

974
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 1: this podcast, and the lake effects snow creates some of

975
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 1: the most badass visuals you'll ever see in a football game.

976
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:17,280
Speaker 1: The guys that NFL films, assuming their cameras survived the weather.

977
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:20,839
Speaker 1: It was so cold and miserable that the telestrator didn't

978
00:50:20,840 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: work in the CBS booth to give you an idea

979
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: of everything that was going wrong. There was no way

980
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: to tell where you were on the field. There was

981
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 1: hardly any penalties because nobody knew really what was going on. Um.

982
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 1: And yet um, the Bills almost let their seasons slip away.

983
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:37,880
Speaker 1: It would have been so busy and if it if

984
00:50:37,920 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 1: it worked out that way, because they had a seven

985
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: nothing lead late in the game. Uh, the Colts score

986
00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 1: with less than a minute to play to make it

987
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: seven six. And then the Colts, and give them credit,

988
00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 1: they decided to go for two to win the game

989
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: because Adam Vintieri earlier in the game had badly missed

990
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:00,960
Speaker 1: a thirty three yard field goal I believe, and they

991
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 1: do a really nicely executed play action uh, successful two

992
00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: point conversion to Jack Doyle and eight seven lost for

993
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,000
Speaker 1: the Bills to end their season. Would have been so Buffalo,

994
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: but it was called Uh. It was called back on

995
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: a questionable offensive question, one of only four penalties in

996
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,640
Speaker 1: the game to your point, yes, and so that pushed

997
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,320
Speaker 1: it back ten yards. And then what is auta viditary

998
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 1: doing the snow with games and seasons on the line.

999
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 1: He makes field goals, He hooks went in the point

1000
00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 1: after to force overtime. There's no there was there was

1001
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: no chance that thing was going through halfway there, and

1002
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,320
Speaker 1: then it just hooked in like a slider, uh it

1003
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:46,360
Speaker 1: to force overtime. And then after um both teams traded

1004
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 1: possessions in overtime, including a very highly curious fourth and

1005
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 1: one punt from their enemy forty yard line by Sean

1006
00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:56,360
Speaker 1: McDermott where it looked like that he was playing for

1007
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: the tie and he was gonna get killed in in

1008
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo for that. They end up getting the ball back again,

1009
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,760
Speaker 1: and then Shady McCoy um, who's done this before, dominated

1010
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 1: in the snow, made the big run. He went over

1011
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty yards in this game, and um,

1012
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 1: it was a type of game where one player likened

1013
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 1: it to running in sand, deep sand, because the snow

1014
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,760
Speaker 1: it was eight inches high if you can imagine eight inches,

1015
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: and it was coming down at such a rate. Just

1016
00:52:21,760 --> 00:52:24,040
Speaker 1: watching like the Safeties on a couple of plays that

1017
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 1: they that running back did get a little momentum. Watching

1018
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,080
Speaker 1: the Safeties try to run after it was ridiculous. It

1019
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 1: was like a kid running through. They were like lifted

1020
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: their leg. The storm didn't start until an hour before kickoff,

1021
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:40,760
Speaker 1: and then it never let up and there was some thunders, thunder, snow,

1022
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: lake effects. Snow man. No joke that the bill survives

1023
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: that vintary extra point, I don't. I can't think of

1024
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 1: too many moments in our newsroom that was that brought

1025
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: everyone to its feet. That was my favorite weirdly newsroom

1026
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: moment of the year because when he kicked it and

1027
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,800
Speaker 1: it looked like he pushed it right, the higher room

1028
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,959
Speaker 1: groaned and I happened to look up and I saw

1029
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler just go oh, just like throw his arms

1030
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: up and he was really angry for some reason, and

1031
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: he was just caught up in the moment. But he

1032
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 1: had a look of like anger and he just turned

1033
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 1: his whole body and done face away from it. Never

1034
00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: saw it go in, then heard everyone go crazy and

1035
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: Mark suddenly turns around. It's like what he made it.

1036
00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 1: I'm like the guy that left. Like the game six

1037
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 1: of the of the Mets Red Sox World Series in

1038
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: the fourth ending. Pollock, who has been following the Bills

1039
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:33,879
Speaker 1: for over forty years for the Ole at Times Herald,

1040
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: said it was the worst conditions he's ever seen Buffalo,

1041
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,879
Speaker 1: the worst I've ever seen for any football. Steve, who

1042
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,479
Speaker 1: was down on the sideline for CBS and he played

1043
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 1: there many years as we know uh said he had

1044
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: never seen anything close to it. It was really a

1045
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: truly like if you want to if you watched a

1046
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 1: million games in your life, you want to watch a

1047
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: unique football game, watch this Bill's Cults game. But the game,

1048
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean that that's an important one for the Bills

1049
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: who remain in the mix. It came so close to

1050
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 1: getting away from them, and they don't win without Lashawn McCoy,

1051
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: who has had a nice um, an amazing career, but

1052
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 1: he's really he continues to every season in Buffalo become

1053
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,239
Speaker 1: the most important player there on offense. A hundred and

1054
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: fifty six yards UM. That's the most he's ever had

1055
00:54:15,040 --> 00:54:18,760
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. And yes, that Snowy Eagles game from about

1056
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: four years ago, that was his career high. He went

1057
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: for two seventeen. So whatever it is, he loves it.

1058
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: He's a matter. If you're one of those guys who

1059
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,280
Speaker 1: thinks that football should be played under perfect conditions every time,

1060
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 1: stay far away from me. I don't want to be

1061
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:36,920
Speaker 1: your friend. Produced joy, they're fun, and every coach in

1062
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: the NFL knows he has to build a team that

1063
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,799
Speaker 1: can survive in any element. And I should mention that

1064
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman started this game because Tyrod Taylor was out

1065
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: with the bruised knee Peterman suffered I believe what they

1066
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:51,360
Speaker 1: thought was a concussion a head injury. So Joe Webb

1067
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: is in this game throwing passes down the stretch and

1068
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: and as you can imagine, almost lost the game with

1069
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: for them. Yeah, he threw a bad interception that uh

1070
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: Vintary had a chance to win the game and couldn't

1071
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:03,960
Speaker 1: get it done or house you guys would say no,

1072
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: but it's Terry. Sorry. I had a chance to win

1073
00:55:06,120 --> 00:55:08,919
Speaker 1: the game. So Joe Webb starter or playing this week.

1074
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,880
Speaker 1: Hopefully Tyrod Tiller's back next week for the Bills, but

1075
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: we shall see. How about how about Frank Or unfortunately

1076
00:55:15,680 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: for his season, but he has the most carries he's

1077
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 1: ever had in the game, thirty six carries. He had

1078
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty yards from scrimmage. The Colts only

1079
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,200
Speaker 1: had two seven as a team, and Frank Gore had

1080
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty of them. Stephen Holder, their re

1081
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: beat reporter after games that have never seen a running

1082
00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 1: back more beaten up uniform, bloodied black and blue all over.

1083
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: Most carries in a game by both teams nineties seven carries.

1084
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: I think it was since one and and I know

1085
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 1: we should move and I don't want to pile on

1086
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 1: too much, but Chuck, do you want to talk about

1087
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: the future? You're x NFL dot com got it. Chuck

1088
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 1: Bogano's on the way out. He inexplicably let the clock

1089
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 1: run down at the end of regulation for no reason

1090
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: at all, instead of trying to get the ball closer

1091
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: and he apologized for it after the game. He had

1092
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 1: no answer said he said, you know what it is,

1093
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,120
Speaker 1: he's a bad coach. Yeah, but this is next level,

1094
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:14,200
Speaker 1: Like they just decide they just left him run down.

1095
00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:15,839
Speaker 1: It was crazy. It was like a brain. I mean,

1096
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on that game. You can't eat him,

1097
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: cannot eat him, but you can fire him. Let's move

1098
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:26,239
Speaker 1: on fourth down and Mariota's most reliable target on the sideline.

1099
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 1: After getting drilled three receivers to the right, Mariota backs

1100
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:31,399
Speaker 1: up as he goes to throw over the middle. It's

1101
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 1: juggled and complete. Oh. A late flag is thrown. M M.

1102
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: Tough loss for the Titans. Dave passed Katie a r

1103
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 1: with the call, the Cardinals shutdown Marcus Mariota's latest comeback attempt,

1104
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: and Phil Dawson Phil Dawson still kicking four second half

1105
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: field goals the Cardinals a twelve to seven win. Uh,

1106
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 1: if you want, you can say the Cardinals are in

1107
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 1: the fringes of the playoff race, but not really. But

1108
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:58,480
Speaker 1: for the Titans, this was a very damaging loss for

1109
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: the Titoons, who fall out of his place of the

1110
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:04,719
Speaker 1: a f C Southwest. What did you see from Tennessee today. Well,

1111
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 1: the running game is still mired in the mud. They

1112
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 1: don't go anywhere. They averaged two point eight four yards

1113
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: per carried between Derrick Henry and DeMarco Murray. Taylor of

1114
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 1: the one They're really good. Left tackle was out of

1115
00:57:17,080 --> 00:57:19,280
Speaker 1: the game early with a lower back injury, and Marcus

1116
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 1: Mariotta throw two more interceptions. He told the broadcast crew, Uh,

1117
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: Andrew Catalan and James Often, it's not a mystery, it's mechanics,

1118
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:30,800
Speaker 1: he said, I'm throwing off my back foot and that's

1119
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: on me. I take the blame. But mechanics are the

1120
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: issue with me right now, and you can see it

1121
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: in this game. The Titans offense is a mess right

1122
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 1: now and this stuff finally caught up to them. They

1123
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: weren't you know, They've been so lucky against bad teams,

1124
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: and they weren't lucky in this game. How often do

1125
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 1: you see a first half that produces nine punts, a

1126
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 1: short touchdown drive, and a missfield goal. I West, I

1127
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:57,919
Speaker 1: don't think it's fair that you had to suffer through

1128
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: this game today. I believe you've been through enough. Eric

1129
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry scored a touchdown late in the first quarter,

1130
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: and I think their drives after that were three punts,

1131
00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: two interceptions, missed field goal, and maybe a fumbler. But

1132
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: they did nothing after that touchdown. The rest of the

1133
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: game was just like the wild boar rag of schedule.

1134
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm interested in this, but it's down there. It's it's

1135
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: it's still available. Something to keep an eye on. As

1136
00:58:23,000 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: Mario to hurt his knee in this game, Mike Malarkey

1137
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: said after the game, in the first quarter and played

1138
00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,720
Speaker 1: through it, stayed in the through the final fourth down,

1139
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: passed two cornerback at Doray Jackson. Now why you would

1140
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: have your cornerback as he intended target with the game

1141
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: on the line. I have no idea. You know, the

1142
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: Titans aren't quite in the playoffs yet there. I know

1143
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,080
Speaker 1: they're not. I feel like, you know, I know they're

1144
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 1: what are they nine and I mean eight? Look at

1145
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:48,480
Speaker 1: their schedule, they're eight and five. They're at San Francisco,

1146
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 1: which isn't quite as easy as it's as it's been,

1147
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 1: and then their home for the Rams and the Jags.

1148
00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:56,440
Speaker 1: If ever, if ever there was a team that could

1149
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: lose fourth straight to fall right out of the playoffs,

1150
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: I think it's his Titans team certainly possible. They would

1151
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: not be a surprise at alar Jimmy Garoppolo Pete the Titan.

1152
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo doesn't doesn't get let anybody beat him. The guy.

1153
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 1: He's never gonna lose. Greg's column on a o L

1154
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: dot Com will be up tonight. Uh, let's move on,

1155
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,560
Speaker 1: Snap Travisky, gonna keep it on the redact redaction into

1156
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 1: the ends over the touchdown touchdown Bears and Mitchell Travisky

1157
00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:30,440
Speaker 1: in from the four mm hmm, very exciting. Jeff Johnny

1158
00:59:30,440 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: at w b b M with the call. Yes. Mitch

1159
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: Drabinski made some real hashtag strides on Sunday, throwing for

1160
00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 1: one touchdown, running for another as the Bears whipped up

1161
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,560
Speaker 1: on the Bengals thirty three to seven and Cincinnati. Uh,

1162
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:48,080
Speaker 1: this was the most lopsided Bears win in five years, gentlemen.

1163
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:52,040
Speaker 1: As for the Bengals six days ago, well, they were

1164
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: up what seventeen nothing at the end of the first

1165
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:55,919
Speaker 1: half against the Steelers. They looked like they were ready

1166
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:58,520
Speaker 1: to make a charge in the playoff race, and now

1167
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: they are at raw bottom. And here is what our

1168
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: friend Marvin Lewis, who's finally appearing that he might be

1169
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: at the end of the unendable coaching rain. I think

1170
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 1: here's what he had to say at the end of

1171
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: the game. Well, I'm uh the loss of words every babe. Today.

1172
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: Our football team, I thought had a good week of

1173
01:00:20,600 --> 01:00:24,360
Speaker 1: preparation and we did not play close to the kind

1174
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: of football to window football game today. We needed to West. Um.

1175
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: We could kind of stick a pin in this for

1176
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: after the season. Um, but I want you to just

1177
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: start working up your Marvin Lewis oh bit for his

1178
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 1: time in Cincinnati. Yeah, he seems like it's gonna happen.

1179
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:43,160
Speaker 1: He's been like Rasputin. I think they have Greg Rosenthal's

1180
01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: favorite press conference of all time. Oh yeah, with him

1181
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 1: and Mike Brown, the one where they the one where

1182
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,800
Speaker 1: they where they were openly pissed at each other and

1183
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 1: to announce his contract, his new contract extensive Mike Brown.

1184
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 1: That's not toxic at all. Yeah, there's no West of

1185
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: Us this year. Two years in a row without West.

1186
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: It's not the same as it's like the year without

1187
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: Santa Claus. We almost need to like maybe find a

1188
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,840
Speaker 1: backup to West of Us, right, because who knows Cincinnati

1189
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:16,439
Speaker 1: doesn't look any closer to going on another extended playoff run. No. Yeah,

1190
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: we talk about Black Monday. Having this all this activity,

1191
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,600
Speaker 1: I think we could find out that John Fox and

1192
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 1: Marvin Lewis are gone long before the season ends. Interesting,

1193
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:29,880
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on play action. Garoppolo boots, Let's

1194
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 1: throw us to the far side, caught by sellec getting

1195
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:38,080
Speaker 1: for the touchdown, touchdown forty Niners Ted Robinson k s

1196
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:41,080
Speaker 1: A and with the call, Jimmy Garoppolo through for three

1197
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: and thirty four yards. That's the best he's ever had

1198
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:46,440
Speaker 1: and a touchdown, helping the San Francisco forty Niners to

1199
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,760
Speaker 1: another win, two in a row, sixteen, this time over

1200
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. Marked by my logic, the Niners would

1201
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: be fourteen and oh that makes sense. No, they would

1202
01:01:57,120 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: be thirteen and powerful. They would have at an extra

1203
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 1: hit as they would accounted the last preseason game. They'd

1204
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 1: be thirteen right now if they traded for their quarterback

1205
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: before the season. That's the magic of Jimmy g It's

1206
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:12,920
Speaker 1: what's fascinating about Garoppolo in these first couple of games

1207
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 1: is that, you know, last week we saw him play

1208
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 1: with with pace and he was efficient and you know,

1209
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 1: looked like he had been there for months, running the

1210
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: no huddle and doing really anything that Kyle Shannon would

1211
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: want a quarterback to do in this game, more progress.

1212
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: He's really has so little around him, but like a

1213
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 1: some of the rare quarterbacks do, guys like Marky's Goodwin,

1214
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 1: who's had you know, really, Marcus Goodwin is is a

1215
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,560
Speaker 1: good piece in that offense. But with Jimmy G, suddenly

1216
01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: he's got a hundred yard game today. Kyle Yustchek looked

1217
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:47,120
Speaker 1: like a badass the entire time. It opens up the

1218
01:02:47,200 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 1: running game for Carlos Hide. And what Jimmy G does

1219
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: is he produces points, he finishes drives, and he's when

1220
01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: they finally surround him with weapons, which could happen after

1221
01:02:56,720 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 1: this next draft and offseason cycle. This team, if you're

1222
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 1: a Niners fan, you have so much to be hopeful for,

1223
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 1: and there's a lot already that you're starting to see

1224
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: the elements week to week. And you know, the Texans

1225
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of issues. I mean, DeAndre Hopkins is

1226
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 1: almost quarterback proof no matter what whoever who's in there,

1227
01:03:14,600 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: he is making incredible plays. But they just today could

1228
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 1: not get it done against the Niners, who I think

1229
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: with Jimmy g really feel like they could be. I

1230
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: don't know who they Let's look at their schedule, but

1231
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 1: they couldn't get another two wins this season, and they've

1232
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 1: given me a lock two weeks in a row. Yeah,

1233
01:03:32,520 --> 01:03:37,280
Speaker 1: I'll not get off this train. You're gonna keep the Niners.

1234
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 1: Let me everything. Let me see who they got Tennessee,

1235
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: the Titans. I'm locking it up. Whoa pive lock? I

1236
01:03:45,840 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: love it is that the first pre week before we

1237
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:52,520
Speaker 1: get to the week. Absolutely, we're breaking boundaries. Greg had

1238
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:54,760
Speaker 1: a pre Thursday night lock. I hope mine goes a

1239
01:03:54,760 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: little better than that did. Yeah, that was that was

1240
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 1: the boundaries in the wrong way. Any other thoughts? Oh, so,

1241
01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,320
Speaker 1: what was the situation with Tom Savage? A scary incident

1242
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 1: where he got taken down, appeared to be shaking, almost

1243
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: having a seizure like motions, body emotions, and he stayed

1244
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: in the game, went into the tent, came back into

1245
01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:17,720
Speaker 1: the game, left ultimately with a concussion. So, I you know,

1246
01:04:17,760 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: I don't know how these things it's it's yeah, it

1247
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 1: was not a seamless Uh, I don't know. Brian after

1248
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,480
Speaker 1: the game just said, well, I just coach, I don't

1249
01:04:27,480 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 1: have anything to do. Yeah, I can see a lot

1250
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:31,439
Speaker 1: of people not take accountability for this one. But who knows.

1251
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he told him he was fine. Maybe he

1252
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 1: passed test as did not look right, he passed the

1253
01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 1: first one, and then somehow it was clear he actually

1254
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 1: did have a concussion. Rap Sheet reported that the NFL

1255
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 1: has initiated a review of all aspects of the protocols

1256
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 1: and procedures relating to Tom Savage. There you go, There

1257
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: you go. So we'll check in um if that leads

1258
01:04:51,600 --> 01:04:54,320
Speaker 1: to any changes in the process. Anything else from this game?

1259
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: Mark uh No. I would say, if you're a Niners fan,

1260
01:04:57,400 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: put it on loop and start to feel excited about

1261
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 1: next season. Very good Miners have become my go to

1262
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 1: Sunday night game. Pass game. Wow, I want to see

1263
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: what Jimmy g done. Very good? All right, but you

1264
01:05:08,360 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: won't be disappointed. We're all looking forward to it. Let's

1265
01:05:11,520 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: move on. Simeon wants to be quick. Pressure on Simeon

1266
01:05:14,880 --> 01:05:18,080
Speaker 1: who throws a ball towards d T at DT just

1267
01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 1: and makes to catch touchdown Denver with the penally flag throne.

1268
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: That was an unbelievable throw under pressure by Trevor Simeon

1269
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:32,919
Speaker 1: Dave Logan ko A with the call Trevor Simeon through

1270
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 1: for two yards on the nose and that touchdown to

1271
01:05:35,160 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 1: to Mary's Thomas and the Rocky Mountain Avalanche completely shut

1272
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:45,480
Speaker 1: down the Jets. Global warming, my and it three nothing.

1273
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 1: Wat Kate continue to spread that shall we at mile high?

1274
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 1: Thank you gam The Broncos snapped their longest losing streak,

1275
01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: which was eight uh since nineteen sixty seven, so since

1276
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: they joined the NFL in the year of Our Lord

1277
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 1: nineteen seventy Chris Westling before I was born. Save for

1278
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 1: the theology podcast, anyway, the uh just just didn't show

1279
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: up in this game. I did lock them up. It

1280
01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: was kind of a showing of support from my favorite team,

1281
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:18,960
Speaker 1: although I've never really been confident in them, and they

1282
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: did not um. They didn't come through. They finished with

1283
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:25,800
Speaker 1: one hundred yards of total offense. In fact, they had

1284
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 1: minus fourteen yards at the end of the first quarter.

1285
01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:34,960
Speaker 1: How many one d on the nose they If they

1286
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:36,840
Speaker 1: would have gotten one less yard, it would have been

1287
01:06:36,840 --> 01:06:39,240
Speaker 1: just the second time in the history of the organization,

1288
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 1: which spends about sixty years, that they had less than

1289
01:06:41,880 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: one hundred yards of offense. Nothing was working. Uh, Josh

1290
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: McCown broke his left hand. He got beat up in

1291
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 1: this game. He looked he didn't play well. No one

1292
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 1: played well. He took some shots and then uh suffered

1293
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:56,680
Speaker 1: a hand injury. After the game, he was fighting back

1294
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 1: tears as he discussed, um, you know, the feelings was

1295
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: having about it. What was a career best season that

1296
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:06,120
Speaker 1: now maybe over, depending on uh what what they decide.

1297
01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 1: But it's very possible that his season has done after

1298
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 1: Week fourteen. Bryce Petty actually came into this game and

1299
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: did nothing. So the Jet fans that want to see

1300
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: Bryce Petty, you might see Bryce Petty and you may

1301
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,439
Speaker 1: not like what you see. So the Jets um fall

1302
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: to five and eight and with games the remaining schedule

1303
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: at New Orleans home to Chargers at Patriots five and

1304
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 1: eleven is very possible. And I don't know if that's

1305
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 1: good enough for Todd Bowls. See what happens. I don't

1306
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 1: know if they lose out, I still think he's in danger.

1307
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:39,880
Speaker 1: I think he needs to win one of these games

1308
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 1: to be truly safe. That sounds great, but who are

1309
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: you gonna get better than him? I don't know. But

1310
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: we never know. I don't know. It could be somebody

1311
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:48,680
Speaker 1: out there. Jets probably wouldn't get him, but I'm sure

1312
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 1: there's somebody that's better than Todd Bowls. I'm not a

1313
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 1: huge fan. That's Joseph. By the way, you could use

1314
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 1: a couple more of these before New Year's Day. I'm

1315
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:57,440
Speaker 1: not sure he's gonna get him. But but this was

1316
01:07:57,720 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 1: exactly a game in which there were a lot of

1317
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,360
Speaker 1: unused tickets at Mile High, which probably doesn't sit well

1318
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 1: with ownership. Um. They actually showed up on defense, which

1319
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 1: they hadn't done, and Trevis Simeon actually looked okay in

1320
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 1: this game. Trevi expresses back rightly, as soon as you

1321
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: locked up this game, Mark said, this team is doom. Well,

1322
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 1: because you locked it, I kinda I kind of shot

1323
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 1: at your locking skills when I believe you lead all

1324
01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: of us. So yeah, I never felt confident really in

1325
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,000
Speaker 1: the lock. But it just it seemed fun to support

1326
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:33,879
Speaker 1: the Jets and what would have kept them in the

1327
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 1: playoff race. Before we get to Sunday Night Football, I

1328
01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 1: think this is the last time we're gonna hear from

1329
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 1: Keith this season. Um, because the Jets will not have

1330
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:45,400
Speaker 1: relevant football after what happened today. So let's let's hear

1331
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 1: what Keith had to say. I told I said on

1332
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:49,679
Speaker 1: this podcast last week that I want my my dad

1333
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: to share his actual feelings. And I'm hoping because he should,

1334
01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:55,599
Speaker 1: knowing my dad, he should be pretty mad about how

1335
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 1: this game turned out. Let's see what Keith had to say.

1336
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 1: His name is Keith, he stands dead. He'll doubt about it.

1337
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:10,680
Speaker 1: He's a big Jets fan. What is he going to

1338
01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: say about the game today? What is he to say

1339
01:09:15,479 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 1: about the game today? Today's Jets game twenty three nothing

1340
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:26,400
Speaker 1: was a total disgrace. It was pathetic. Um, I don't

1341
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 1: know why once again the Jets come out of the

1342
01:09:30,400 --> 01:09:33,560
Speaker 1: locker room sleeping where you know, they've been able to

1343
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:37,919
Speaker 1: overcome that in some recent games, but today once again, Uh,

1344
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:41,679
Speaker 1: they just came out sluggish and the other team got ahead,

1345
01:09:41,680 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 1: and this time they weren't able to do anything ninety

1346
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:48,560
Speaker 1: eight total yards offensively, defensively. It appeared to me like

1347
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,600
Speaker 1: most of the teams had given up. And I have

1348
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 1: to say, Bowls was totally clue with on the sideline

1349
01:09:54,720 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 1: that's him and his coaching staff. Uh, that doesn't appear

1350
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 1: to me that McGowan was injured earlier on a scramble,

1351
01:10:02,960 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 1: told him obviously wasn't the same guy that he's been.

1352
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 1: Even though Petty didn't show much today, where was the

1353
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: coaches talking to each other about what was going on?

1354
01:10:12,160 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: So terrible, terrible game today. But maybe we're expecting too

1355
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 1: much from this team. All right, thanks? You know what

1356
01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:22,879
Speaker 1: I cannot wait for. You know, the Jets public relations

1357
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: department has been at times a tad sensitive to us

1358
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:27,560
Speaker 1: when we write about them. You could say that what

1359
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 1: does NFL media do when they get a complaint about

1360
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 1: Dan's dad? How did they handle that? There's no way

1361
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:35,800
Speaker 1: to handle he is He is in a he is

1362
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: in a punishment free zone. I feel like, yeah, I

1363
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:42,800
Speaker 1: think I think dad is bulletproof. Now, good, good, old

1364
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 1: Danny boy, take some fire. You could be watching the

1365
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 1: next three games with your dad back in a childhood betterom.

1366
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:54,759
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on. Oh, let's talk about action heat.

1367
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:58,679
Speaker 1: Action heat makes the world's best heated clothing. That's right,

1368
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: heated clothing powered by rechargeable batteries. Action heat is the

1397
01:12:45,800 --> 01:13:01,640
Speaker 1: on Sunday Night. He's amazing. Each car on the play

1398
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 1: Brown two receiving yards tonight unbelievable. Al Michael's uh NBC

1399
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 1: with the call. Antonio Brown could not be covered once again,

1400
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:16,400
Speaker 1: this time by a vaunted Ravens defense. His thirty four

1401
01:13:16,479 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 1: yard reception down the right sideline late in the fourth

1402
01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:23,800
Speaker 1: quarter set up Chris Boswell's go ahead field goal, and

1403
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 1: then the Steelers held on for a thirty nine to

1404
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,600
Speaker 1: thirty eight win, a game in which they overcame a

1405
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:34,479
Speaker 1: nine point deficit with less than six minutes to play.

1406
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:38,799
Speaker 1: In this game, Ben Roethlisberger forty four of sixties, six

1407
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:41,960
Speaker 1: for five oh six and two touchdowns, and yes, Antonio

1408
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:46,840
Speaker 1: Brown eleven for two on eighteen targets. Chris Wesley had

1409
01:13:46,880 --> 01:13:49,680
Speaker 1: to get going. So the three Amigos will close this

1410
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 1: one out. Mark the Steelers. You just can never count

1411
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 1: them out. Was when Antonio Brown and Ben Roethlisberger are

1412
01:13:57,600 --> 01:14:00,080
Speaker 1: just playing catch. Yeah. I mean, I feel like for

1413
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:03,240
Speaker 1: a while people playfully talked about Antonio Brown as an

1414
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 1: m v P candidate, and you have to take the

1415
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:11,559
Speaker 1: concept seriously. We've watched this, They've been on primetime week

1416
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 1: after week at this point. Weeks there America, and it's

1417
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 1: been fun. It's been a fun four weeks. And listen,

1418
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 1: they absolutely considering what's happened to this team over the

1419
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 1: last seven days. The way they came back from a

1420
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:27,200
Speaker 1: deficit against the Bengals on the hardest night. You could

1421
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:29,280
Speaker 1: ask for us as a team to do what they

1422
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 1: did on Monday night and then to turn around and

1423
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:35,160
Speaker 1: erase and eleven and then a nine point deficit. You know,

1424
01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 1: as the game ticked away with the Ravens marching up

1425
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:41,759
Speaker 1: and down the field on Pittsburgh's defense their offense. Tonight,

1426
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 1: you have to look at this team and say they

1427
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:46,720
Speaker 1: could beat anyone in the league on the right night.

1428
01:14:46,840 --> 01:14:49,679
Speaker 1: We'll have to see what happened against New England Steelers.

1429
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 1: Steelers can beat anyone on any night with this with

1430
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:56,320
Speaker 1: this passing game, and yet they were trailing in this

1431
01:14:56,400 --> 01:15:00,080
Speaker 1: game by nine points with seven minutes to go. Know

1432
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 1: they were trailing by more late in the third quarter,

1433
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 1: and all along Mark Sessler is watching it, Sat, Steelers

1434
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,559
Speaker 1: are gonna win this game. You know, just just so

1435
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:11,559
Speaker 1: annoyed at the Ravens for every misstep they made. And

1436
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:14,120
Speaker 1: when the final drive starts, you just said, put six

1437
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:17,679
Speaker 1: guys on Antonio Brown. Do anything but let Antonio Brown

1438
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 1: beat you. And it's gotten his magnificence has gotten almost

1439
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 1: so predictable that you tweeted out Dan right before Antonio

1440
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:29,599
Speaker 1: Brown made that catch, you said, why do I feel

1441
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:31,880
Speaker 1: like a thirty seven yard and throw to Antonio Brown

1442
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,920
Speaker 1: is coming thirty four yards the next plade down the sidelines.

1443
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 1: You gotta find a way to not let him beat you.

1444
01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 1: And yet that's easy to tray, like true greatness just

1445
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 1: can't be stopped. Truly great all time receivers, which Antonio

1446
01:15:44,120 --> 01:15:45,880
Speaker 1: Brown is. And we've been talking about that a lot

1447
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:47,800
Speaker 1: the last few weeks because there have been so many

1448
01:15:47,800 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 1: primetime games. They always get open. And there was a

1449
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:54,840
Speaker 1: key play on that last Steelers scoring drive third and

1450
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 1: thirteen where they did bracket up Brown and took him

1451
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 1: out of the equation and then Rothless Burger to his credit,

1452
01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 1: and Roethlisberger played a brilliant game in the down the

1453
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 1: stretch here he found I believe it was Vance McDonald

1454
01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 1: over the middle. No, it wasn't Vana. This was Jesse

1455
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: James over the middle to convert that first down. And

1456
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:14,120
Speaker 1: once they got that, you started to feel like they

1457
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:16,479
Speaker 1: were gonna be able to march the ball. And then

1458
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:19,680
Speaker 1: a few plays later there's Antonio Brown. So I mean,

1459
01:16:19,720 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 1: on the Steelers side, it really it puts them, sends

1460
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:25,600
Speaker 1: them into that Patriots game, which is gonna be one

1461
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:27,639
Speaker 1: of the biggest games of the season for any team,

1462
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: with a lot of confidence that they could overcome anything.

1463
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,759
Speaker 1: And on the raven side, they're still in good shape

1464
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 1: when you look at their schedule, their seven and six,

1465
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 1: and this loss hurts, but they still I think have

1466
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:40,479
Speaker 1: a good chance of qualifying for the playoffs, um if

1467
01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:43,000
Speaker 1: they take care of business. But all that talk about

1468
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens defense mark being this great unit that could

1469
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,479
Speaker 1: be stacked up with all those ray Lewis d's, they

1470
01:16:49,520 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 1: get a stop in this spot and they just couldn't

1471
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:53,559
Speaker 1: get it done. It's uh, you know, there was one

1472
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 1: pass on Pittsburgh's final drive were big bend through an

1473
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 1: errant floater. Had a Raven safety beIN, Yeah, I mean

1474
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 1: in a different direction, that game would have been over

1475
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:08,559
Speaker 1: and we'll be talking about Pittsburgh's epic collapse. But listen,

1476
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 1: this is how it ended. I mean, it was bizarre

1477
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:13,000
Speaker 1: to watch the ball. You know, Flacco lost the ball,

1478
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:15,679
Speaker 1: the fumble on the the on Baltimore's final shot down

1479
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 1: the field, it dribbles out of bounds and they're in

1480
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:20,759
Speaker 1: the huddle as the game clock ticked off. They didn't

1481
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 1: realize that was happening. They lost themselves at the end here.

1482
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:25,760
Speaker 1: But ultimately, if I'm a Ravens fan watching the last

1483
01:17:25,760 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: two weeks, he scored eighty two points, I'm feeling this.

1484
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 1: This loss hurts, and it makes you wonder about their defense, certainly,

1485
01:17:34,560 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: but you gotta feel good that your offense has finally

1486
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 1: woken up. Your next three games are against some cupcakes.

1487
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:44,600
Speaker 1: You got the Brown sorry Mark Uh, you got the

1488
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:47,840
Speaker 1: Colts and the Bengals. They're gonna win those three games.

1489
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 1: This team is dangerous. I think they can that's an

1490
01:17:49,960 --> 01:17:53,559
Speaker 1: insult to Cupcakes. I think they can fix their defensive problems.

1491
01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:55,320
Speaker 1: That the fact that they've been able to run the

1492
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 1: ball and Flacco while a few misthrows late in the game,

1493
01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 1: overall has been my better. The last Alex Collins can play,

1494
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:05,080
Speaker 1: he was running hard and making people miss. So like,

1495
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 1: those are those are positives. I think if you're a

1496
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 1: Ravens fan like that, they're they're gonna be a scary team.

1497
01:18:12,400 --> 01:18:14,400
Speaker 1: I think going on the road to whoever they have

1498
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 1: to face in the division world, I'm already putting them

1499
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Well yeah, Ravens fans are gonna need

1500
01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 1: about seventy two hours to stay off any sort of

1501
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 1: football media outlet and just let this thing deal with.

1502
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:29,720
Speaker 1: But you're gonna close out the season if you don't.

1503
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,880
Speaker 1: Ten and six and and tonight shows you that you

1504
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 1: can hang with what might be the best team in

1505
01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 1: the a f C. It's crazy, though that this s

1506
01:18:36,600 --> 01:18:38,960
Speaker 1: ums to be like the ultimate a f C North

1507
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:41,840
Speaker 1: smash Mount Day. Let's finally see some real football with

1508
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:44,479
Speaker 1: some you know, hard nosed defenses and up in the

1509
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:46,080
Speaker 1: a f C North. Forget about that. It was a

1510
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 1: fun game. And um, you said it, Mark while we're

1511
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:53,479
Speaker 1: watching the end of this game. How all these incredible games,

1512
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:58,080
Speaker 1: including this game. It's unfortunate that the Carson Wentz situation

1513
01:18:58,760 --> 01:19:03,120
Speaker 1: kind of uh hampers everything. But this was a banger

1514
01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 1: of a week with a lot of great endings. Best

1515
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,400
Speaker 1: week of the year terms of in terms of games,

1516
01:19:07,479 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I would even go back

1517
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 1: to last year and say early on we could not

1518
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: We were watching four or five games at the same

1519
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 1: time watching them, you know, conclude dramatically. The late games

1520
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:20,160
Speaker 1: were great. This was one of the best Sunday night

1521
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:21,720
Speaker 1: games of the year. So what more can you ask

1522
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 1: for outside of wins? And the Jaguars are probably bummed

1523
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 1: because if the Steelers don't find a way in this

1524
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: game and then can't beat the Patriots next week, the

1525
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:31,719
Speaker 1: Jaguars maybe sneak into the second seed. Now that feels

1526
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 1: like a long shot with the Steelers getting this win,

1527
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 1: but season not over. Things can happen. But that's it

1528
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:40,960
Speaker 1: for for us. That's that's our show for Sunday. Thank

1529
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:47,320
Speaker 1: you to everyone for listening. Often imitated, um never duplicated. Yeah,

1530
01:19:47,360 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: next time you hear from us, it will be on Tuesday.

1531
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:52,840
Speaker 1: It will be the Video Show with Connie Fox and

1532
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:55,800
Speaker 1: hopefully West but definitely Connie. But until then, this is

1533
01:19:55,880 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 1: Dan Hansens signing off for the Quiet Storm. The mailman

1534
01:20:01,040 --> 01:20:05,000
Speaker 1: Nick Shook in absentia, the Old Boss and Lindsey Fulton

1535
01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 1: behind the glass until Tuesday,
