1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,560
Speaker 1: Mahomes back throws.

2
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 2: It is equal.

3
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:04,960
Speaker 1: Please pick off picked off by the Lions by Branch

4
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: with the left side. He's going, baby, He's going to

5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: the house.

6
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: Touch down Detroit Lions deflected in the air, Branch ran

7
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: under it, and he took it all the way back.

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: And welcome to the Divisional Round post game twenty in

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: the Huddle podcast. And guess what, We're gonna do it

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: again next week?

11
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, how about that.

12
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna do it again next week because this Detroit

13
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: Lions team is just it's on a run. And they

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers thirty one to twenty three,

15
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: punch their ticket to the NFC Championship Game for the

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: first time since nineteen ninety one. They'll go out to

17
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 1: San Francisco play the number one seed. They're the favorite

18
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: in the NFC pretty much all year long, especially the

19
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: second half of the year once the Eagles started to

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: falter a little bit, and it should be a terrific matchup.

21
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: But but boy again, this this four field crowd, this

22
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: atmosphere really just helping a spearhead this football team to

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: another win, their second street at home and now they're

24
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: doing stuff. Peach, Now that I don't think a lot

25
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: of people thought they were capable of, you know, back

26
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: six months ago.

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: No, and and to do it again, I came up

28
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 2: offense finished with the ball for the first time in

29
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: a while. I know that was a point of emphasis

30
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: for Ben Johnson in the last couple of weeks. But

31
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: defense got off the field again today and created the

32
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: big turnover there at the end to seal the deal.

33
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 2: And another I think, just as we noted last week

34
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 2: after the Rams game, another complete game. I felt like

35
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: all phases. Jack had a couple of good punts, pinning

36
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 2: them back on the nine yard line to start that

37
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 2: last drive. I mean some just again, really impressive playing

38
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:54,919
Speaker 2: across the board for me today.

39
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I feel so great for Derek Barnes. You know,

40
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: it took a lot of the criticism a month ago

41
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: in that lost to Dallas when he missed that tackle

42
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: on Dak Press got led to the ninety two yard

43
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: touch on obviously a one point loss, And it always

44
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 1: comes back for you, It always comes back. And for

45
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,079
Speaker 1: him to make that play a diving interception to end

46
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: the game, Like you mentioned, there were a couple of

47
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: them on a DVCD. Garter Johnson got one early in

48
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: the game as well. And then look these rookies, Yeah, rookies.

49
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: I mean you look at Brian branch and what he did.

50
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: Led the team in tackles, nine tackles, had a sack,

51
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: also two tackles for loss. I think in there you

52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: look at Gibbs seventy four yards on nine carries. That's

53
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: an eight point two average, plus the thirty one yard touchdown,

54
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: plus had four catches for forty yards, including a key

55
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: twenty yard touchdown in the Aman Ross Saint Brown you

56
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: know touchdown drive. And Sam Laporta all he did was

57
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: catch nine balls for sixty five yards, a couple key

58
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: third down set up the other I mean, these we

59
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: we we say it all the time, We've talked about

60
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: it all year, but boy, I mean, Brad Holmes just

61
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: has to be up. They're just patting himself on the

62
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: phone watching games like this where all these young guys,

63
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: all these rookies, are key contributors. This team would not

64
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: be in the NFC Championship game for this rookie if

65
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: not for this rookie class.

66
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 2: No, and you're getting all of this production in put

67
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: up or shut up time like this is like you

68
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 2: big anymore in these moments and they're not. And Branch

69
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: especially today was outstanding. Just always knows for the ball. Yeah,

70
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: he got called for the five yard off side penalty

71
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: that he was pissed about trying to just blow up

72
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: another play. But man, that guy, that guy is a

73
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: special player.

74
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: He didn't play in the first game. Neither did neither

75
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: did Gibbs.

76
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you you're you're seeing obviously the the the

77
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: pieces come together, and the Lions did not make it

78
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 2: out of today unscathed on the injury front. But the

79
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: guys that you didn't have in week six you had

80
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 2: today and they all came up big.

81
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

82
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: And he just talking about uh. Left guard Jonah Jackson

83
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: left the game of the knee injury did not return.

84
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell said after the game it didn't look good

85
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: for next week and also brock Right forum injury. I

86
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: believe it was yet the game didn't return, He said

87
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: brock Wright wasn't didn't look good for him next week either.

88
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: So look, the lines are going to go into that

89
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: game dealing with a couple things. I think if you

90
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: watch San Francisco against Green Bay, Deeo Samuel left the

91
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: game with his shoulders you know, there could be some

92
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: injury situations for both teams in this game. You know

93
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: what else I thought was really special about today's game.

94
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: And I really didn't notice this until one of the

95
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 1: reporters in Dan Campbell's press conference asked a question. But

96
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: it is exactly three years to the day that Dan

97
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: Campbell had that infamous headline grabbing kneecap introduction press conference.

98
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 1: And in that press conference, he talked about what the

99
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: culture of this team, what he wanted the culture of

100
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: this team to be, how they were going to be physical,

101
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: how they would play anywhere, how they would fight till

102
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: the end, how they would be resilient. And I think

103
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: it's fitting that three years to the day that he

104
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: made that speech, that's what his team is. Yep, They're

105
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: a resilient bunch. They're physical, they played to the end,

106
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: and they find a way to make plays. It's everything

107
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: Dan Kimpbell said he would bring to this team. And

108
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: he said in his third year he thought he'd be

109
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 1: able to play with the big boys. Well, it doesn't

110
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: get any bigger than this speech.

111
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's Look, I got a lot of really really

112
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 3: outstanding people around me, all right, and I'm fortunate. I'm fortunate,

113
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 3: and it takes a village and without everybody involved, without

114
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 3: Brad Holmes, without Sheila Rod, you know, Chris Billman, without

115
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 3: Ben Johnson, Aaron Glenn, Dave Phipp. I mean, you don't

116
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: you know, I'm fortunate. I envisioned that we would have

117
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: a chance to compete with the big boys, and that's

118
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: where we're at. All you got to do is get in,

119
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 3: you know, and it's about placing yourself the very best

120
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 3: position to where you can move. You get you get

121
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 3: a home game, and then maybe you get a second

122
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,039
Speaker 3: home game, and now all of a sudden it gets

123
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 3: a little easier. You know, if you're able to get

124
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: a one seed, you only got to win two games, right,

125
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 3: and so that's that's always the objective. But ultimately, once

126
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 3: you get in, then it's about matchups and you find

127
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 3: a way to win, and you may have to win

128
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 3: two to nothing and it's okay, you know, it's okay.

129
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 3: A win's a win in the playoffs. So you know,

130
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 3: here we are and now we get to go to

131
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: San Francisco and you know, we know what kind of

132
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: team that is. But we're in a great position. We

133
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 3: got a great opportunity.

134
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great. It's great for Dan, right, I mean

135
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: all that criticism that he took early on three win season,

136
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: the rough start to last season, and then this team

137
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: kind of turned a corner, right, they found the recipe

138
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: for success. They've been able to maintain it. And now

139
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: I would think, and I if I was a player,

140
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: I would love to play for Dan Campbell. If I

141
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: was a free agent and I was looking at a

142
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: place to go, and I was watching this atmosphere and

143
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 1: that head coach and just this team and the way

144
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: they play, that's got to be an attractive destination. Yeah,

145
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: I tell you that hasn't been the case in a

146
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: long time, and.

147
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: You saw it last year. And yeah, CJ. Gardner Johnson

148
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: had a prior connection to Dan and AG from the

149
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: time in New Orleans. But as the top of the

150
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: line free agent that chose the Lions. Obviously there were

151
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 2: a lot of factors that went into that and only

152
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 2: a one year deal, but that guy chose to come

153
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: here and to make the playoffs and to make pivotal plays,

154
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 2: and you do got to give credit where credits due.

155
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 2: That guy talked a lot of smack this week about

156
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield and came up with an interception on the

157
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: first possession. So tip your hat to CJ. But that's

158
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna you have to keep on. Seeing

159
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 2: that they aid in the offseason, I think that's gonna

160
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: be be a huge factor moving forward.

161
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: And the Lions will have some cap space too. We're

162
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: not gonna get into that now, there's no time back.

163
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,239
Speaker 1: One another guy I wanted I don't want to touch

164
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: on too is Jared Golf. You know his his fine

165
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: play continues. Thirty of forty three to eighty seven, two touchdowns,

166
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 1: pretty good, one hundred passer rating again and you know,

167
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: obviously last week was was huge for him in the

168
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: storylines and the former team and Stafford and everything, and

169
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: to get the cheers from the crowd, the chanting of

170
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: his name. But if if you could hear it, if

171
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: you weren't here, they did it again. Oh yeah, they

172
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: shared Golf at the end of the game, at the

173
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: beginning of the game, in the middle of the game,

174
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 1: during timeouts. I mean, he has really endeared himself to

175
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: this fan base.

176
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, you always worry about emotional hangover,

177
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: emotional letdown obviously for him, so such an important game

178
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 2: last week. Just came out and ripped it again. No

179
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: no hesitation, no nothing, just came out and pushed the

180
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 2: ball down the field through those inbreakers, hit the middle

181
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: of the field again and you know, just just what

182
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: we're used to seeing now from Jared Goff in.

183
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: A little different game plan too. I mean, normally this

184
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: team has been run the football to seven.

185
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: Team that runs, that throws the ball first down and

186
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 2: wrapped threw the ball.

187
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: To run it. Yeah, and I just think that that

188
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: says a lot about Jared Golf. Obviously Ben Johnson and

189
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: the offensive line and the weapons that they have. But

190
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: to trust that your guy in this kind of game

191
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: can just come here, you expect to throw at forty

192
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: plus times and that's going to open up your run

193
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: because you're so confident in the passing game and what

194
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: he can do. It just says a lot about Jared

195
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: Golf and it's great for him to now have a

196
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: chance back at the NFC Championship game. Here's what he

197
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: had to see after the game.

198
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's exciting, it's exciting. We're joking after the game. Ironically,

199
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 4: last time you know a lot of us played in

200
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 4: it was against each other. It was me, you know,

201
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 4: rams against Dan with the same Sanzieloi was there, Aaron

202
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 4: Glenn was there. Yeah, so it's exciting and not just

203
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 4: for me, but for our whole team, and it's it's

204
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 4: something that we've you know, you know, it's not I

205
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 4: don't want to say like this arrogantly, but we expected

206
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 4: to win the first game. We expected to win this game,

207
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 4: and now we get to go to a game we

208
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 4: expected to be in, I guess, a really good team

209
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 4: at their place, and we're gonna come into it expecting

210
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 4: to win. It'll be a tough game, but it'll be fun.

211
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: Yeah.

212
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: Good for him, and now Detroit needs one more really

213
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: good performance from him, and boy, then we're talking about

214
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: peage some some stuff that's obviously very really very very

215
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: rare here, and look, it's gonna take a really good performance,

216
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: excuse me, because that's a really good San Francisco team

217
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,160
Speaker 1: at their place. You've got to like the fact that

218
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay was there. You had an opportunity to really

219
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: beat them if they take a little bit more advantage

220
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 1: of some opportunities that they had. But look, San Francisco

221
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: found away at home to win that game in the

222
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. But watching that game, I didn't see a

223
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: team that Wow. That terrifies me. It wouldn't be like

224
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: Baltimore where I was like, wow, look what they did

225
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: to us earlier in the year. Look at how they're

226
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: playing right now. I think that's gonna be really, really tough.

227
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: It's a good football team. They're number one in the

228
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: NFL and scoring offense. They're number three in the league

229
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: in scoring defense. They had nine guys that made the

230
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: Pro Bowl. I mean, they have a very good collection

231
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: of players. Defensively, it'll probably be the fastest defensive lines

232
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: have played all season long, so they have to have

233
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: a good game plan. But I certainly wouldn't count this

234
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: team out the way they're playing right now, in the

235
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: confidence that they have. Jared Goff said after the game, Look,

236
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: we understand that's a good football team, but we expected

237
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: to win last week, we expected to win today, we

238
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: expect to win next week.

239
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's I mean, you're gonna have to give

240
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 2: San Francisco the their best punch, but I think there's

241
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 2: a lot to learn. I think Packers ran the ball

242
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: pretty well last night. Aaron Jones had another good game,

243
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: and you know, Jordan Love made the throws that were there,

244
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: which is something that Jared is very good at and

245
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: has been very good at. And you saw a similar

246
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: throw on on the Jordan Love touchdown to bow Melton

247
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 2: that he made Tom and Ross Saint Brown today on

248
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: a kind of little corner to the back pylon there.

249
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 2: And I listen, it's gonna be tough. It's gonna be

250
00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 2: the toughest game yet. Obviously it should be. You're going

251
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: to the NFC Championship game. This this should be the

252
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 2: toughest game yet. But that's that's a really good team

253
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 2: out there. But you know, not hopefully not gonna be

254
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 2: too cold. Hopefully gonna be saw sixty eight degrees. Yeah,

255
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: I'm the looking forward to that one. But you know,

256
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 2: I it's not gonna be too cold outdoor game. You know,

257
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 2: it's a one game playoff, just just kind of win

258
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: one more and then and then you get the buye

259
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: between weeks. So it's uh, it's certainly something.

260
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: So hey, we're gonna stick around for another week. We're

261
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: gonna do another twenty in the Uddle podcast. How about

262
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna set up that forty nine er game and

263
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: then you know, I think me and you will probably

264
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: be able to UH to get one going there at

265
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: Levi Stadium after the game, hopefully it's us talking about

266
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. And it's crazy to think that the

267
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions are in this spot. Kudos to to Sheila

268
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: hamp for putting all those people around her, you know,

269
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: for changing the culture, and and for for really pulling

270
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: all the right strings and the GM, you know, the President, Hier,

271
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 1: the coaching higher. It's been top notch from top to

272
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: bottom to get them to this spot. And and kudos

273
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: to Dan for developing the players for Brad to get

274
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: him here, and it's led to the NFC Championship Game.

275
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 1: And it's a fun little ride and we're going to

276
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: continue on for another week.
