1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL podcast spends a lot of time

2
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,559
Speaker 1: on corner. Welcome to another edition of the Around the

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 1: NFL Podcast, presented by the United States Marine Corps. My

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: name is Dan hansis coming to you from a room

5
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: filled with heroes. Chris Westling to my left, Greg Rosenthal

6
00:00:22,040 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 1: to my right. What is up? Boys? Hey? Dan? What

7
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: a day? What today? No Mark Sessler because as we

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: told you last week, he was in Oakland covering the

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: last Raiders game didn't end how the people wanted. At

10
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: the end up there were ruined and thrown on the field.

11
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: The question will be is Mark ruined? Is he still

12
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: with the teaser? We'll see if he actually makes it

13
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: to this segment at the end of the show. A

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: little later in the show, we will check in with

15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: great Mark Sessler and hopefully his cell phone is activated

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: and everything is good. He was going to encounter ruination.

17
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: I think it would have happened a while ago. That's fair,

18
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: all right, We got a great sunday of NFL football

19
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: in our league Week fifteen, the playoff. What well, It's

20
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: like like a lot of things, once you start using

21
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: something ironically, at a certain point, no one's got to

22
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: even understand that it's ironic that you don't really like that.

23
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: Maybe you like the whole. I'm willing to run that risk. Okay, Okay,

24
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: Now I think I think I speak for all of us. Um, Greg,

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: you know, you like to try to dip your toe

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: in the uh greater part of NFL media culture. But

27
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: always kind of viewed myself as a bit of an outsider.

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: West I think you feel the same way. Um. So

29
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: to say our league, you know, feels good. It's like,

30
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: oh wow, maybe some progress is being made. You know.

31
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm maybe they'll accept me, maybe they'll accept us. Doubtful.

32
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: That's aspirational. Um, all right, No, I don't care. I

33
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: like to be on the outside up high West. Yeah.

34
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: Read a book called Colin Wilson The Outsider. Now that'll

35
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: get you going about outside. Okay, another book recommendation from

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: the great Chris Westling. We're gonna go through all of

37
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: the Sunday games, uh, capping it with a little Bills

38
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: Steelers talk from hines Field, and after that, will you know,

39
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: give you a full picture of what's going on as

40
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 1: we hit the home stretches. When it's really great to

41
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: have Greg Rosenthall man that his awareness when it comes

42
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: to the playoff picture. The man is a human calculator.

43
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: He'll tell you where everything stands at the end of

44
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: Sunday's games, So make sure you stick around for that.

45
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: But we have a lot to us. Was tabulations on

46
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: tabulations for Macca nations. That's Greg's mind. When the yeah,

47
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: when do you figure playoffs? Think about Greg, I mean

48
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: the flexing between the I always know when to call

49
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: time out. It doesn't matter, like if I'm sitting at

50
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: home on a couch or in a newsroom and the

51
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: other guys on a field with eighty thou screaming fans

52
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: with like seven hundred different decisions to make, he can't

53
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: do it. I can do it. Greg can say, Andy,

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: eat on his knee and tell him how to run

55
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: the end of game situations. So you can do that.

56
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: You're great and uh the down and distance and time

57
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: out situations, and and you're great with figuring out playoff calculations.

58
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: So that's that when I talk about strengths right there, Greg,

59
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 1: that's near the top for you. You You know what else,

60
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: a game analysis? How about we get to that also,

61
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: your ability to navigate into like the internal workings the

62
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: NFL media machine to be like a respected guy like

63
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: you like to live inside and outside the box. You're

64
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: a little bit of a bad boy, but you're also

65
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: right there and there, one ft in, one foot out.

66
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: If you can pull it off, why not? Well, I

67
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: even talk about week fifteen. Let's talk about week fifteen,

68
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: and we'll start with a game with big playoff ramifications

69
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: of the Texans and tightens with a lot on the

70
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: line in the a f C South, Watson of the gun,

71
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: Watson hands off to Hide, wading to the left. Carlos

72
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: has the five Carlos to the Pilon. He's in touchdown,

73
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: Stay ten yard, get run, Guapo lead, Mark Vandermere el Guappo.

74
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: That's Carlos Hide Handsome. I guess he is. Texans Radio Network.

75
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: Carlos Hyde ran for a hundred and four yards, scored

76
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: a t d with less than eleven minutes to play,

77
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: Texans score tentstrate points in the fourth quarter, pulled out

78
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: to beat the Titans one in Nashville, a huge win

79
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: for the Texans, who put themselves in the driver's seat

80
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: in the a f C North a C South with

81
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: two games to play, and that includes, of course a

82
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: game against the Titans. Now West. This is why Houston

83
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: is so tough to figure out. On a good day,

84
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: they could beat anybody. Today was a good day. They

85
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: are tough to figure out, and I'm not sure anyone's

86
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: gonna have them figured out after this game. What we

87
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: do know is that DeAndre Hopkins and Deshaun Watson are

88
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: absolute stars. And they took control of the game in

89
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, a game which I think the Titans

90
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: offense generally looked more impressive than the Texans offense, a

91
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: game when the Titan had about sixty five more total

92
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: yards than the Texans, but a game, and I put

93
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: stars next to this play when it happened, because it's

94
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: a four team points swing in the game. Anthony Firkser

95
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: loses the ball at the goal line, it's rolled an interception,

96
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: was closer to a fumble. Whitney Merciless brings it all

97
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: the way back down to the red zone and they

98
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: score on it Kenny Still's touchdown. So that was a

99
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 1: four team points swing in the game, and that the

100
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: Titans did recover to tie it up and then could

101
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: not stop DeAndre Hopkins. Because the Titans have two really

102
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: big weak spots right now. Their cornerbacks which are not healthy.

103
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: A Dory Jackson and Malcolm Butler are out and have

104
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: been out for a couple of weeks. And their kicking game,

105
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: which really surfaced early when Ryan sucked up, Ryan suck

106
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,679
Speaker 1: up missed, had a block field goal, and then before

107
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: halftime Vrabel opted against a long field goal and tried

108
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: for a fake punt instead that was batted down and

109
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: that really came back to Hunt and they lost for

110
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: they lost by three points the margin of that field goal.

111
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: That this was such a big loss for the Titans

112
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: because the Texans all they have to do is win

113
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: a game next week on NFL Network on the Saturday

114
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: triple header. That would that would clinch spot for the text, right,

115
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm going back in, Hey, hey, Peter Schegar on the

116
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: grab drinks. I'll do that. I do remember Peter Scheger

117
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 1: as a young guy coming up one and I wanted

118
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: to get drinks while I was at Rotor back in

119
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: New York a little Fox Sports. No, they they could

120
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: just clinch a playoffs spot, not necessarily the division next Saturday. Uh,

121
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: they would need a Titans loss, you know, to to

122
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: clinch the division in Week sixteen. But the fact is

123
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: the Titans can get in, uh if the Titans aren't

124
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 1: gonna get in even if they win these last two

125
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: games necessarily and the fact that Tennessee had that spot.

126
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: And sometimes the division comes down to this, like you

127
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: don't like to think of it, but that play where

128
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: they're on the goal line and Ryan Tannehill throws a

129
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: good pass that ends up getting you know, dropped and

130
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: brought back that sometimes it can swing an entire division,

131
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: and you can swing an entire season one play. And

132
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: I think Vrabel he knew that after the game. He

133
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: was he was bitter, he was really cheesed off heading

134
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: to hit it, heading to the tunnel, and it was

135
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: almost like he could he he could read his mind.

136
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: We're never getting that one back, and we needed Derrick

137
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: Henry Um. He had been on an incredible role statistically

138
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: not bad at all for eighties six. Did the hamstring

139
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: injury or the quad injury, the leg injuries dealing with uh,

140
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: did that seem to hold him back at all? I

141
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: didn't think so. It just seemed more like gameflow and

142
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: the Texans did a pretty good job of not allowing

143
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: those big carries. Now there was an impressive goal line

144
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: stand by the Texans that the Titans ultimately scored on,

145
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: but they stuffed Henry twice within the final two yards

146
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: before the goal line, and then they stuffed the fullback

147
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: blasting game on a really nice play by Zach Cunningham

148
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: and then Tannell tanne Hill bootlegged. But that's why Henry

149
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: didn't get in the end zone. And I think I

150
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: would credit the Texans defense for not allowing the big

151
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: plays that you've been seeing from him, where he's just

152
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: going for seventy yards. The Texans are just a different

153
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: team when Fuller's on the field. I know he didn't

154
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: blow up, he's five for sixty one, but the whole

155
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: offense just makes a little more sense. Before we leave

156
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: this game, I do think we have to mention A. J.

157
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: Brown is just a superstar, and I wish I had

158
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: made this point before he went eight for one fourteen

159
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: and one and that's three yard games for him in

160
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: the last month. He is just like he's the receiver

161
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: I want from the two thousand nineteen class, no matter

162
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 1: what I want, Terry McLaurin by far and then A J.

163
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: Brown number. A J. Brown is just such a physical

164
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,679
Speaker 1: beast that he's just he's I don't know if he's

165
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: a future number one, he's a number one right now.

166
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 1: Like he can dominate games right now, and it makes

167
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: them more dynamic, and it does make me think at

168
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: least they have a chance. I know they got to

169
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: play the Saints and then go to Houston, but I

170
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 1: do think they have a chance to win both those games,

171
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: which is what they'll need. He's awesome after the catch.

172
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 1: He's also being helped out quite a bit by the

173
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: Titans essentially being the best play action team in football

174
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: over the last what five six weeks. They're custom made

175
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: for play action with Derrick Henry playing well in Tannehill.

176
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: Let's face it, having a big arm West. You could

177
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: start a team right now with any wide receiver in

178
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: the league. Is a twenty seven year old DeAndre Hopkins,

179
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: uh pro. I don't know him or Michael Thomas alright,

180
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: one of those two. I think Hopkins is probably the

181
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: better player in a vacuum. All right. He was a

182
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 1: great player on Sunday. Younger though, So you got a

183
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: factor that Let's move to a game with some big

184
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: playoff ramifications in the NFC. Prescott in the gun fake

185
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna be rushed by Fowler steps back from

186
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: that for as deep down the filth right upen at

187
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: the thirty five. It's Tavon Austin. He's gonna dance U.

188
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 1: That's the easiest fifty nine yard touchdown Prescott's ever throwed

189
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 1: or Austin's ever caught. And he's doing a little hole

190
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: down day into the end zone. Fifty nine yards Prescott

191
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: to Austin for the touchdown. Brad Sham the sham God.

192
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,199
Speaker 1: Haven't heard from him in a while. K r l

193
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: D Yep, the good Cowboys are back. I didn't think

194
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: you see him again, did you, Dak Prescott throw two

195
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,319
Speaker 1: touchdown passes. Zeke Elliott went over a hundred yards with

196
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: a couple of scores. Cowboys just pound on the ramps.

197
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: Twenty one was the final at Gerald World. Greg The

198
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,440
Speaker 1: Cowboys seemed more likely to roll over and die after

199
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: the last few weeks of disappointment. Instead, they looked galvanized,

200
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: crippling the defending NFC Champs playoff hopes in the process. Yeah,

201
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 1: this is one of the most surprising results for me

202
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 1: of the season. It shouldn't be. I should think that

203
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: that what you've seen over the course and of an

204
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 1: entire season should weigh more than what you've seen the

205
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. But I just didn't think the

206
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys had it in them, especially their defense. But it

207
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: was like old timer's night. It was like everyone had

208
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: it all a great time. Here's Jason Witten catching a long,

209
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,839
Speaker 1: great touch down with this you know one hand. It's

210
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: Sean Lee getting sacks and a game turn an interception.

211
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: It was just like everyone's happy, especially Dream so what

212
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: he's always wanted, his old guys that he's been too

213
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: loyal to, just continuing to do damage. What a schizophrenic

214
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: team they this team, they have a plus ninety point

215
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: differential for the season. Almost all of their losses have

216
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 1: been close, and almost all their wins have been blowouts,

217
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: right until last Thursday night, when to me, they just

218
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: got you know, steamrolled by the Bears, and really the

219
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: last two weeks against the Bills. In both those games

220
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: they had some opportunities. But last week was so dispiriting.

221
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 1: I took that, uh too seriously clearly. But the way

222
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: that they won not so much on offense, where it

223
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: was all the running game. I mean, Dak had what

224
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: a hundred and sixty yards other than that one. Uh

225
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: you broken play the defense to Marcus Lawrence and Shawn

226
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: Lee and Carrie Hyder had a big game and the

227
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: secondary they just dominated Los Angeles up front, Todd Gurley's

228
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,800
Speaker 1: first six runs went for one yard. He ends up

229
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: with twenty yards on the game. Jared Goff gets hurt

230
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,840
Speaker 1: hitting his thumb on a helmet, but at that point

231
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: the game was basically over and it affected golf the

232
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: rest of the way for sure, But that I think

233
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: it was twenty three by the time he suffered that injury,

234
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: So that game was a shot too. Like you see

235
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: that it happens every week. It feels like with a

236
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: quarterback hitting a face mask. But this that was a

237
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: whap on the helm. I've seen Andy Dalton season get

238
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: wrecked easier. Oh, he wasn't shooting straight the rest of

239
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: the way, and they kept him in, you know, deep

240
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 1: into garbage time and they got some numbers then. But

241
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: it does make you wonder if he'll be playing because

242
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: the Rams at eight and six are still mathematically alive,

243
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: but it's basically over that they need to win out

244
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: and the Vikings need to lose out. Yep, does either

245
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: seem likely? I don't know. I mean there's only no

246
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 1: games left, but it's probably the end of the road

247
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: for the Rams, and and in a disappointing way for

248
00:12:57,960 --> 00:12:59,720
Speaker 1: it to go out, because West, this was a team

249
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: that we're talking about it all last week. They seemed

250
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: to be peeking and figuring it out. So that's what

251
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: made it so disappointed, because they never felt like they

252
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: were in this game. It was just the Cowboys punched

253
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: them in the in the mouth to start the game,

254
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: and before you knew it, it was a blowout. By

255
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: the halftime, the other Rams were surging into this game,

256
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 1: and I really talked about how well their defense is playing,

257
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: and here they allow forty four points. I think Greg

258
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: let yourself off the hook for not getting the Cowboys

259
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: analysis correct. This team is resistant to analysis all year,

260
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: and especially after laying down last week. How could you

261
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: predict this game? The Rams are the team that's not

262
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 1: your fault, Greg, the Rams of the team where you

263
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: think they're turning. How can you predict either of these teams? Really?

264
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: With how the Rams have been playing the last few

265
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: weeks and how their defense has been playing for half

266
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: the season, now you can't. But I think they're an

267
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: example of sometimes their defense looked better against bad competition,

268
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 1: and um, you know, the encouraging thing for the Cowboys

269
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: is that their offense is still capable of a game

270
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: like this, because it really was they mine. It wasn't

271
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: the passing game, it was the line opening up holes

272
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: for Zeke who had one seventeen and two their first

273
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: two of their first three touchdown drives is fifteen plays

274
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: for ninety yards, uh, and then fourteen plays for nine seven.

275
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 1: So that's I think it's a tough way to run

276
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: an offense, but it's the way they always look the best.

277
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: Which of these short third and two is that Zeke's

278
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 1: picking up Tony Pollard who got a lot of it

279
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: in garbage time but still goes twelve for one thirty one.

280
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: I mean that they would love it if Dak Prescott

281
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: doesn't have to throw that much. I would love Uh.

282
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 1: You know, Tavon Austin came into the league I believe

283
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: as an eighth overall pick and it never happened for him.

284
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 1: Great stat line today. You heard the touchdown called the

285
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: beginning of this conversation. He finishes one for fifty nine

286
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: for one touchdown on one target. Well, you know what

287
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: he made it count and that was a big touch

288
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: on because that's when it felt like the game was,

289
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: you know, slipping away at that point. Up from the Rams.

290
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: There was controversy at the beginning of the game, which

291
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: we should just hit real quick, that Dak Prescott the

292
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: was win the toss and the referee Walt Coleman, I

293
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: believe Walt Anderson, it was a Walt Walter White. I

294
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: think it was Walt Uh Walt Disney. Uh. He ruled

295
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: that that that Doc had made a selection he had

296
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: chosen to kick rather than shows to defer. But then

297
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: good job by Fox. They find more audio that clearly

298
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: shows that Walt uh missed it and uh they conferred

299
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: and common sense carried the day in New York allowed

300
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys to you know, get the ball to start

301
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: the second half, which thank god, because initially Mike Preyer

302
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: came on the air and said that this was not

303
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: something that was reviewable, but apparently it was. Kudos to

304
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: the NFL, and I don't know why, but I'm always

305
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: pleasantly surprised when common sense carries the day. And finally,

306
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: on this game, Kai for Bath makes his Cowboys debut

307
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: and this sound started almost immediately you know. Well, yeah,

308
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: immediately right after the coin flip drama where the Cowboys

309
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: look terrible, Gregg and West are going off on Jason

310
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: Garrett in the newsroom, which is just like the most

311
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 1: NFL Twitter things. It's just like with this happened on

312
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: another team. This this not so it's it's never the

313
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: player's fault, it's always Garrett. But seven and seven that's Garrett's,

314
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: you know, that's the Garrett cut type of records. This

315
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: is what happened next for the Cowboys. Ricky opening kick off,

316
00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 1: four bad takes over his first week. Is a Dallas Cowboy,

317
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: at least on the active roster, and right out of

318
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: the game he can't move the ball to the forty

319
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: that's where the rams will set up. And he could

320
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: not have started any worse. It can only get better

321
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: from hair. Wait, what did he do the rest of

322
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: the game. I'll tell you what he did the rest

323
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: of the game three for three field goals, including a

324
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: fifty yard bomb that would have been good for eighty

325
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: and he hit all five extra points, so he was

326
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: perfect after that inauspicious start. Oh yeah, Kai has it

327
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 1: figured out? Guys? The guy? Hey what what high boys

328
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: are flying? With a monument overcoming adversity. Let us move

329
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 1: on slender center, Wentz firing and it is It isn't

330
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: a touchdown. It is quod on the four quarter of

331
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: the zone. It is a clutch down on my ar

332
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: surrounding if the past goes deep into the en zone

333
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: to Craig Ward. Great pass point once and a great

334
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: clutch pot Ward, Great Ward, where have you been all online?

335
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 1: Merrill Reese squad. That's been great, great call by Reese,

336
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: Eagles Radio Network. Carson Wentz led the Eagles on a

337
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 1: seventy five yard touchdown drive in the final minutes, capped

338
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: by his third touchdown pass to Yes Greg Ward Jr.

339
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: The Eagles keep their NFC East title hopes alive thirty

340
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: seven win over the Redskins of FedEx Field Gregg. This

341
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: turned out to be one of the best games of

342
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: the day, go figure six scoring plays in the fourth quarter,

343
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: nine lead changes, and one of the all time bad

344
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 1: beats as time expired. Oh that's right. If you were

345
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: if you were on the Washington team, that would have

346
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: been bad beat, painful. But you if you weren't, you

347
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: just enjoyed a classic Carson Wentz performance in the second half.

348
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: It was one of those games from Wentz where it's

349
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: like kind of like, whatever your biases are coming into

350
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: the game with Wentz, you'll see what you want, because

351
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 1: he missed a lot of throws that were there, I

352
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: would say, in the second and third quarters of this game,

353
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 1: especially really the first half. In the second half, he

354
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: goes eighteen for twenty one for a hundred and forty

355
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: one yards in three touchdowns, including one of the best

356
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: touchdown passes I've seen all season. You guys, you guys

357
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: have probably seen that in the fourth quarter to take

358
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,959
Speaker 1: one of his leads. I mean they had to bring

359
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: him back three separate times. In the second half. He

360
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: had the game winner to Greg Ward, which was a

361
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 1: fantastic play, and then he had a couple of other

362
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,479
Speaker 1: third and fives. There was one to Ward and one

363
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,439
Speaker 1: to Boston Scott where Carson Wentz just did his Carson

364
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: Wentz magic. And I think this is what Eagles fans

365
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 1: and what's been mostly a lost season, have wanted to

366
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: see out of their starting quarterback. Just I don't care

367
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: if their whole offense is just Ward, Urn Scotter and

368
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders in terms of that's who he's gonna throw

369
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: to like. He made it work, and he did it

370
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: on a day where his defense stunk. Maybe he's a

371
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: little scatter shot, maybe there's inconsistency. But the reason why

372
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: Wentz is such a fun quarterback to me is like

373
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: he is one of those guys you could feel it.

374
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: He's a guy like put up, you know, get on

375
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: my back. I will take you there. I'll get it done.

376
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: And he's done it back to back weeks. Is not

377
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: a good Eagles team, it's you know, the middle of

378
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 1: the road team. But the fact that he's kept him

379
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: relevant here, I think it's it's all on Wentz and

380
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,239
Speaker 1: that the throw one of the ones you're referring to. Uh,

381
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: the Miles Sanders dart in the back corner of the

382
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: growing it through arms of Redskins defenders a clothes line through.

383
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how many other guys in the league

384
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 1: can make that pass. I it was impressed by the

385
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: running back combo of Miles Sanders in Boston, Scott, this

386
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: is not a game where you can say Wenz didn't

387
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: have any help. Dallas Goddard made a great one handed

388
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 1: catch on a pass thrown behind him, did his normal thing.

389
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: Greg Ward had four for forty in that last drive.

390
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,600
Speaker 1: But most importantly, Miles Sanders had the best game of

391
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: his career, a hundred and seventy two yards from scrimmage,

392
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 1: including nineteen carries for one two and Boston Scott kind

393
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: of backed up his performance from the other night. I

394
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: know that doesn't look too fancy, was fifty five yards

395
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: from scrimmage, but it was a number of key third

396
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: down conversions and it was all because the Eagles defense

397
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: couldn't get a stop, which was the most surprising thing

398
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: of the entire game. The Eagles defense had a Gholston,

399
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: no QB hits, no sacks. Haskins had the best game

400
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 1: of his career, and he's been a sack machine, and

401
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,959
Speaker 1: it was largely because he had time to throw and uh,

402
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: for the most party made good throws. If if if

403
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,239
Speaker 1: sim Steven Simms caught, Yeah, slightly underthrown ball, but very

404
00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: catchable in the fourth quarter, the Eagles would have been

405
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 1: down to touchdown there when they when they were going

406
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: for the game winning drive. So let's check in on

407
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: the state of the Eagles for the last month. You

408
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: and everyone else has said everything is so hard for

409
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: this offense. It's just so hard and even was in

410
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: the first half of this game. Even in the first

411
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: half you were saying the same thing. It was the

412
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: second half impressive enough to where you think of them

413
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: differently going into next week because it's the Cowboys, like

414
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: they have something to hang their hat on now a

415
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, they really have five guys. It's Ward

416
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: or Scott, Art Sanders and Scott and that was it.

417
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: I mean Arthega Whiteside. Uh, he's on the field, but

418
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: he might as well not be there to targets no catch.

419
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: This was my point last week. Ward and Boston Scott

420
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 1: have been in this team's possession all year. As they

421
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: played guys who can't catch and can't make big plays.

422
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: They just went to waste all year. I I don't

423
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: feel overly confident because they've done this against two pretty

424
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 1: poor defenses, but I think they have to feel like

425
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: you have something on offense. But it's what we've been

426
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: talking about with them all year. Once they fix one problem,

427
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: another one pops up. The defense hasn't been good really,

428
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: certainly not today, and they're they're much healthier. Anybody that

429
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: with great confidence makes a prediction about the Week sixteen

430
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: game Cowboys actually, I don't believe anything that's coming out

431
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: of their mouths. They are overconfident. Just use that as

432
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: an indicator whether they know what they're talking about, because

433
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: we've seen enough from both of these teams that it's

434
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: unpredictable what you're gonna get Sunday to say it is.

435
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: And yet I think it's it's okay to say that

436
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: the Cowboys should be the favorite. I don't care that

437
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: they're on the road that they if they're playing the

438
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 1: better team. Here's the thing, I'm not necessarily picking. I

439
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 1: probably will pick them and I and it wouldn't surprise

440
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 1: me if the Eagles win. I'm not saying that I

441
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 1: don't wouldn't feel confident. But their best game is just

442
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 1: clearly better. Because the Eagles have no best game. These

443
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: are their best games. Is winning these dog fights against

444
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 1: dog teams? All right? Let us move on. Dog team

445
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: fought to the fifties, less sideline forty to the thirties,

446
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: Stephon Gilmore to the chad and root to a second

447
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: pick six of the season, touch down Patriots gill locked

448
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,640

Speaker 1: the front. Julie Luck jumps it for sixty four yard touchdown.

451
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: Was a second half start by him. Here. You know

452
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 1: it's nice. We had a nice little run there, made

453
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: a second turn it up Zolac. Zola gets the bongo drums.

Speaker 1: of New England's or interception sixty four yards of the house.

458
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:07,159
Speaker 1: Patriots clinch a playoffer at Sunday over the Bengals, a

459
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: game that will be remembered less for its outcome and

460
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: more for the latest Patriots scandal that prefaced it. But

461
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: I forgot about that. At eleven and two, the path's

462
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: remain in position for the all important first round by

463
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: and now we welcome formally the great Jeremy Bergman, fellow

464
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 1: native New Yorker. Okay, same thing, tortured Jets Van Burgo

465
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 1: tell us how the Patriots did it on Sunday? Uh, Well,

466
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: you know all week West was talking up how the Bengals.

467
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 1: You know this was a trap game for the Patriots.

468
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to play. Did a three game losing streak

469
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: by the you know, almost it would have been one

470
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 1: of the great predictions. He looked great for about two

471
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: quarters while nearly two quarters ten ten with about two

472
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: minutes left in the in the second quarter and Alex

473
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: Erickson muffs au punt and from there the Patriots rolled.

474
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: The Patriots kicked a field goal to go into the

475
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: half to take a lead, and then coming out of

476
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: the half. UH. Dalton throws two picks on the first

477
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: two drives, both to Gilmore who was in coverage on

478
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd second Gilmore. This is a big game for him.

479
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: You know, we're talking you know about t J. Watt

480
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: or Daniel Hunter in some spaces. Stephan Gilmore has been

481
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: the the deploy for pretty much the entire season, starting

482
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,200
Speaker 1: with the Boogeyman defense. UH in the start of the

483
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,239
Speaker 1: season so um and then J. C. Jackson got two

484
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: picks at the end, Dalton through four picks season high

485
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: and UH. You know, I think this is a reminder

486
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: that the Patriots secondary, even against inferior opponents, UH is

487
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: possibly the best, probably the best in the league. And

488
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: UH a reminder that the Patriots can beat up on

489
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: these teams. But the offense, uh look terrible again. I

490
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: mean Brady had a season leve and passing yards. Edelman

491
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: didn't look right. Nick kill Harry had a couple of catches.

492
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,959
Speaker 1: SNeW was was dropped out right. Pass is all over

493
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: the place, thirty one drop backs for the Patriots, passing

494
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: a hundred sixteen yards rough did it didn't look as

495
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 1: bad as that sounds. Uh it did. I mean it's

496
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: aside from uh the pick six. The Patriots had two

497
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: scores in two touchdowns in the second half, and both

498
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 1: of them came on short fields. So they're not moving

499
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: the ball and they're averaging They average four point six

500
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: yards per play. Brady got hit six. They ran the

501
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: ball a little bit though, which they they have not

502
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: been able to do, and they get nikkil Harry involved

503
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: playing him about I think it was thirty six snaps

504
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,560
Speaker 1: where he hasn't been too involved. He had a couple

505
00:26:28,560 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: of runs, he did get a touchdown, uh catch. They're

506
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: just looking for incremental improvement with with the line, I

507
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: would think, especially because they're gonna need a running game

508
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: and they're gonna need a turnover margin like this. It's

509
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: it's not an easy method to try to go win

510
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with turnover margin. But there plus twenty

511
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: four on the year, and a lot of that's been

512
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: against the bad teams in the league. But that that's

513
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: the only way they're gonna win games in the playoffs

514
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: against good teams is with this secondary picking off passes.

515
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: So by by that statement, you're saying you have no

516
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: hope that they're going to turn their offense around. I

517
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: have hope that they can be situationally a lot better.

518
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: Yes that they can, that they can be good enough

519
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: that but you're gonna there's no way they're winning three

520
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: playoff games without the defense and special teams bawling out.

521
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: That's the rest of Greg. This is and this is

522
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: not news to you. You've been tracking this team very closely,

523
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: as you track all teams, but especially with your boys,

524
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots. But Tom Brady lives in the sub Gabbard zone.

525
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,040
Speaker 1: Now like this is not this is happening every week.

526
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: You go all the way back last let's see five

527
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,120
Speaker 1: weeks now, starting with the Eagles win seventeen ten, four

528
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 1: point six yards pert tempt and the Gabber zone is

529
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: anything sub five yards per ten, uh, five point one

530
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 1: yards sub six, five point one against the Cowboys, six

531
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: point nine against the Texans with some garbage time at

532
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 1: the end, and then four point seven last week against

533
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, and then four point four this week. I

534
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: mean this is Burgo. This is nothing new, and we

535
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: keep on saying, well, he'll turn it on, he'll turn

536
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:03,959
Speaker 1: it's worth point. They won. Yeah, that's fair to point out,

537
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: but you know the score. But you're playing the Bengals,

538
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: who are a loss away from you know the first

539
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: uh picking the draft. There were fans more Patriots fans

540
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 1: than Bengals fans at this game. But the Bengals fans

541
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: who were there, uh, they were saying, uh, I have

542
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 1: the I have the Tiger. Go Bengals go as in

543
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 1: the Bayou go. But they're rooting for Joe Burrow. They

544
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: were paying more attention to the Heisman Trophy. Yeah, the

545
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: magic number is one because they're they're up to the Giants. Uh,

546
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 1: foreshadowing win over the Dolphins. Up two games. Sorry, well

547
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,240
Speaker 1: you know two games ahead of the of the of

548
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 1: the Bengals. It is crazy. I mean they throw the

549
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: ball eight times, this a new thirteen yards five times

550
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: to Edelman, this is becoming a bigger concern. He looked

551
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: banged up or I heard that he was in this

552
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,800
Speaker 1: game five targets for nine yards. And I don't know

553
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: what to take from the running game either, because the Bengals,

554
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: like I mean, against every team except the Jets can't

555
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: stop the run. And Michelle had a great game Birkehead

556
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: revenge game with a touchdown h late in the second half. Um,

557
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: but I'm not sure how much to read into that

558
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 1: because of the opponent. It's it is crazy, though. This

559
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: is their tenth straight eleven win season, so they did

560
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 1: it all decade eleven plus no no other team in

561
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,000
Speaker 1: NFL history has ever gone above seven straight of though,

562
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 1: So the way I kind of look at it like

563
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: as if this is the the end of the Patriots,

564
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: like the end the end is like they're winning eleven,

565
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: Like that's that's like a worthy end to what's been

566
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: the greatest dynasty and what's happening here. But it's true though,

567
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: like if disintegration of the Patriots, which just so happens

568
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: again is like you're the seven happens against the backdrop

569
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: of the latest scandal that is gripping this Team Spy Harder,

570
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: which featured of course Jay Glazer of Fox going on

571
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: the pregame show and having video evidence of what went down,

572
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: right down to a Bengal Stafford West is a proud

573
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 1: former since the Cincinnati resident that that guy for the

574
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:13,600
Speaker 1: Bengals was very strong and his takedown of that Patriots videographer.

575
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 1: We have a spot for him on West Security, the

576
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: jackets of which you see on the sidelines of most NFL.

577
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: So the way he handled that and the way the

578
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: Patriots staffer immediately just do it. I'll do it. Hey,

579
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 1: what if I deleted? Nobody has to be the wiser

580
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: and that's right. Now, give me a break with how

581
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 1: then the Bengals got It's like a cop like pulling

582
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: somebody over. He's like, the Bengals guy, what do he said?

583
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: He made a comment like, well, you should have thought

584
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: about this before you did. It was like one of

585
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: those like Dad lines that we needed a naked light

586
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: bulb in there, maybe just one loan chair. It was.

587
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: It was a great grilling session by Bengal security. So

588
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: I guess I'm just pointing out, Greg, your quarterback looks done.

589
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: And he got another scandal hanging over your head. This

590
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,240
Speaker 1: is is eleven and three is grade? Actually that thought

591
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: the video thing. I don't care about the scandal. No,

592
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: it's helped them though the video. As you guys said

593
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: in the previous show, you didn't think there's too much

594
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: of it. The video, which you can watch, thankfully, kind

595
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: of supports everything that they said that there would be

596
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: nothing that you can be gaining from this what they

597
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: were watching the sideline. I actually feel less confident about

598
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots after seeing that video. I don't think that

599
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: Belichick orchestrated at all, but certainly this should be investigated.

600
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 1: What it is it's happening. I just love that Wes

601
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: is just you know, Antonio Brownie's the gift that keeps giving.

602
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 1: They should sign Antonio brown Maybe I'm coming back around.

603
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: I mean they needed they need someone who can get

604
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: open give um burgo. You stick around for another game? Yeah,

605
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: I got nothing to do. All right, let's roll. You're

606
00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: actually writing up the Senate snap from that looks left

607
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: Matt throws taught Jones chopped down short of the end zone.

608
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: Is he ruled in or out? He's ruled? I got

609
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: the play. My goodness, Ryan to Jones has given it

610
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: laud of the lead twenty three, twenty two ten play

611
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: seventy yards in unbelievable West Durham and Dave Archer with

612
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: the call for the Falcons Radio network. All Right, we

613
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: had to do some Frankenstein work on that highlights because

614
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't deliver the the drama of what happened. Because

615
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: one play after an incredible Austin Hooper TD catch was

616
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 1: overturned on a suspect review, Julio Jones is awarded a

617
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: touchdown upon review after a suspect spot by game officials.

618
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: You got that right. Yeah, A lot going on in

619
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: the final seconds of the Falcons win over the Niners. Uh.

620
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: Those final six points came via a fubble recovery. Uh,

621
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 1: lateral shenanigans that only al Michaels could love. Wink wink,

622
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: Another one of those Burgo classic letdown game for the Niners.

623
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 1: How do you make sense of this one? I mean

624
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 1: this is a classic trap. Can you look at the

625
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: schedule and between the Saints, the Rams and the Seahawks

626
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: in the back four of their schedule, they're playing the Falcons,

627
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: who had put up forward against the Panthers last week.

628
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: They've been playing pretty well in the back half of

629
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: the of the season, and so the Niners should have

630
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 1: handled this team pretty easily. They've had a couple they

631
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: had a couple of injuries today. Richard Sherman, d Ford

632
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: Western Richburg were all out and that certainly had an effect.

633
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 1: But you would have thought maybe you were going to

634
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 1: get a shootout between these two sides, given how uh

635
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: the Niners had been playing against a team like the Saints,

636
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: and then how the Falcons has been playing on offense

637
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: all year. And really it was a defensive struggle up

638
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,200
Speaker 1: until the fourth quarter when they started trading scores. Uh

639
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: Garoppolo Uh. Uh scored on a past to Kyle us Check. Uh.

640
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: The Falcons come back and score, and then uh, you know,

641
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: the Niners kick a field goal and the nine and

642
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: the Falcons get back down the field. Uh. The Falcons

643
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: get back down the field, and you have that wild

644
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: sequence of events. In eight seconds, there's a past to

645
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper that he's catching in between his legs. He's

646
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,120
Speaker 1: holding it, who's holding onto the ball with only one hand,

647
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 1: but it touches the ground, slips, it slips out of

648
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: his hand. It slips out of his hand, but the

649
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: call and I'm just glad because ball don't lie that

650
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: they got the touchdown the next play, because that's not

651
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 1: how they deserve to lose the Falcons. Where was we're

652
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: talking about replay again here? Where was the evidence that

653
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: overturns that call? Where did we see an angle that

654
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: showed the pigskin touching the field turf? I think you

655
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 1: definitely saw in his left hand or whatever it was,

656
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 1: you see him hold the ball, it touches some sort

657
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,080
Speaker 1: some sort of surface, and then he his grip loosens,

658
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: meaning you know, it looked like his cleat though was

659
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: up against I don't think so. I think I think

660
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 1: it hit the terif I'm not gonna I that one.

661
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: Did it saw him at least fumble the ball in

662
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: the end zone. It's too costly, though, it's not too

663
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 1: costly for the forty diers. I know they people get

664
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: really into like, oh, they filed down to the fifth seed.

665
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: You know, Okay, that's fine. If they win their next

666
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: two games, they should They should be the one seed

667
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 1: if they beat the Seahawks. Not even if they beat

668
00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 1: the right well that ends well. The Rams game could

669
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: affect whether it'd be the one seed or or just

670
00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 1: winning the division in getting the two seed. But it's

671
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: not a killer. I've never seen a game where it's

672
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: two pass catchers going against each other quite like this.

673
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 1: George Kittle seventeen targets, thirteen catches, hundred and thirty four yards.

674
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: No one else on the team had more than four targets.

675
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: Julio Jones twenty targets, thirteen for one thirty four. No

676
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,879
Speaker 1: one else on the team had more than twenty seven yards.

677
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: So it's just Julio versus Kiddle back and forth, and

678
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: I love that sounds great. A game where they're so

679
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,240
Speaker 1: shorthanded at receiver in Atlanta compared to what they started

680
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: the year with and you just throw it to Julio

681
00:35:39,239 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: twenty times and he goes and wins it. Tough, He's

682
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: still got it. I think there's there's this idea in

683
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,760
Speaker 1: fantasy circles that like Julio because he goes long stretches

684
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: without touchdowns is over the hill. Now he's amazing still

685
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: in all Pro you probably just said this exactly these numbers,

686
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 1: but they had exactly the same. Yes, is odd, very

687
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: odd point. It was. It was more um Stark with

688
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 1: the Niners, though, because you know they have been, you know,

689
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: succeeding on offense because they had been throwing to Deebo,

690
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: Samuel and Emmanuel Sanders getting that receiver game. Uh in

691
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: the last half of the season, uh beefed up. But

692
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: here there was Garoppolo was holding the ball too long.

693
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 1: He ended up dumping the ball off to most dirt

694
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 1: and Kittle a bunch. And it was actually the fact

695
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 1: that Kittle had such a big line and no scores.

696
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: It was indicative of how kind of broken and slow

697
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: the Niners offense looked all season or uh in this game, Uh,

698
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: their first scoring drive, um, and this you know, they

699
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:33,959
Speaker 1: had a bunch. They made a bunch of big plays

700
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: against the Saints, right, they had the big touchdown to

701
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: Manuel Sanders and all that. Their first scoring drive was

702
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: twenty one plays for ten minutes and four three seconds,

703
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: the longest drive in football this season. And uh, you know,

704
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: it looked like they were going to control the clock

705
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: against the Falcons, and they were holding the Falcons um

706
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: scoreless for most of the game, but it didn't work

707
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 1: out at the end. I'm kind of amazed at their

708
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: defensive line, which I started the season thinking they could

709
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 1: be historic and now they're just great, you know, they're

710
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,840
Speaker 1: they're not a stork. I'm just amazed that that's that

711
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: they couldn't just dominate the game enough to just win.

712
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: But that's what happened. Sometimes when you have an m

713
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 1: v P type of quarterback on the other side, you

714
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: don't know. They're also depleted. They don't have the depth

715
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,399
Speaker 1: to do the rotation they were doing earlier in the year.

716
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: Does anyone think dan Quinn can possibly save his job?

717
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 1: I don't. I think a win like this is a

718
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: potential game changer if they have to win out a

719
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,839
Speaker 1: thing too. And I know it seems meaningless because what's

720
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: the difference between five and eleven and seven and nine

721
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 1: whether you should keep your coach, But these are the

722
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: type of wins I think gets ownership's attention that the

723
00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 1: team hasn't quit, that they have there's a ceiling there.

724
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:39,759
Speaker 1: I I think it's more likely Greg that he does go.

725
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 1: I think he's the first one like that. They've decided

726
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 1: this by around the bye week. I think they already decided, Hey,

727
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: where's here's what we're gonna do because to them, seven

728
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: and nine is a huge disappointment. So I think they're

729
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 1: gonna look at the whole season, even if they win

730
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,600
Speaker 1: the next two and yeah, this it didn't feel good

731
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 1: for the Niners. When Matt Ryan goes takes the field

732
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:02,240
Speaker 1: with about two minutes to play and three time outs,

733
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: it felt like a dangerous spot for the Niners. And

734
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 1: sure enough Ryan goes right down the field called it

735
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: I did I'll take that burgo kind of make one more.

736
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: All three of San Francisco's losses have come on the

737
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: very last player, the very last play, and last week

738
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: they gave up the game winning we're supposed to be

739
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 1: game winning drive to the Saints. So going forward, the

740
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: Niners at the death are they reliable? Late in the

741
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter asked for one more point? He made it

742
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: count and one And where can you find if you

00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 1: issues with. Really, he's a fine man. I love Dave alright,

767
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: that's uh. I will not throw Dave Eally in a

768
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: pizza oven. That is my solemn promise. Cut that drop,

769
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: thank you, Jeremy single back offense, Harry Jones, let on setbacks,

770
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: Rogers under Center, takes hand off, Jones bouncing luck fix

771
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 1: the turn, flicks the tackle. The trend of the five

772
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: pre pilot hands up. It is a tech stop beat

773
00:39:56,840 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: Prince Someone and the Packers one yard touchdown run, fire

774
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: and Jones fixed in the margin of thirteen three. Wayne

775
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: Lara Vie with the call for the Packers radio network.

776
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones ran for two scores. Davante Adams had another

777
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: touchdown catch. The Packers beat the Bears. That moves Green

778
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: Bay to eleven and three. They locked remain locked into

779
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: that number two seed, the huge matchup against the Vikings

780
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: looming in week sixteen. The Bears, well, there're seasons effectively

781
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: over um they are eliminated from playoff contention in the NFC,

782
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 1: And you know not, it's not the same thing as

783
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,719
Speaker 1: the Rams, because I didn't. I kind of bought in

784
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: a little bit on the Rams recent hot streak and

785
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,720
Speaker 1: then they lay an egg in this game with the Bears.

786
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if I ever really truly bought in

787
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,840
Speaker 1: that they were gonna make this great miracle run in

788
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: the end. And but I also thought maybe they could

789
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,720
Speaker 1: make it a game on Sunday because the Packers aren't

790
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: playing so hot right now, but it kind of more

791
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 1: or less played to script where Green Bay gave you

792
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: enough offense. It's just kind of what they are right now.

793
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 1: A team that's not gonna be blowing the doors off anybody,

794
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 1: but they score the two or three touchdowns necessary, kick

795
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 1: a couple of field goals sometimes and they'll get the W.

796
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:13,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's gonna work when the competition

797
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 1: jumps up a notch, but it was enough to be

798
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 1: a Bears team Uh that just you know, didn't have

799
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: it this year. And that's and that's uh, that's all

800
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: you gotta say about them, really, but we'll say more

801
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: so were you are you impressed with this Packers offense

802
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 1: or were you today? Because we've been in lockstep that

803
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 1: even though they're winning, we're just not impressed with the

804
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 1: fact that they lack a chain moving element to this offense.

805
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,080
Speaker 1: It's all sizzle, no steak, all style, no substance, all flash,

806
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 1: no sustainability. You know what they need? They need like, yeah,

807
00:41:41,480 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: they need like a two thousand, fourteen Randall Cobb. They

808
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: need somebody beyond just uh Aaron Jones at Davante uh

809
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: uh Davante Adams. There was a moment in this come

810
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: about two thousand eleven, Aaron Rodgers taking a checkdown every

811
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 1: once in a while. Well, I'll say this. I'll say

812
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 1: this because I I'm I'm with you that Rogers is

813
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,480
Speaker 1: been his own worst enemy in some cases. But I

814
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,400
Speaker 1: just keep on getting reminded of you know this, in

815
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: this game, in the first quarter, Rogers hangs in the pocket,

816
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: gets drilled, unfurls a gorgeous deep ball that should have

817
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:17,000
Speaker 1: been a seventy yard touchdown. Marquez Valda's scantling has two

818
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 1: steps on the defender and he doesn't even drop it.

819
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 1: It just shoots through his open hands, and it's like,

820
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 1: what are we doing here? And he was basically removed

821
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: from the game plan after that. They do that every week,

822
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: that he does something they don't like, and then they removed.

823
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: That's what they did in this case. And then I

824
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: looked at I looked at the numbers for the Packers

825
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 1: on offense, because it does feel one dimensional, especially their

826
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: passing game. And sure enough, you've got Davante Adams, who

827
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: missed like a quarter of the season with that toe injury.

828
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: He is by far their most productive receiver in terms

829
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: of catches, yards, touchdowns. Then their next to most productive

830
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: receivers are running backs and Aaron Jones and Jamal Williams,

831
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: and then you get to Jimmy Graham in two thousand nineteen,

832
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 1: So two thousand nineteen, Jimmy Graham is snaps today, Yeah,

833
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 1: before the next wide receiver shows up, which is Jeronimo Allison,

834
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 1: who hasn't done much this year. Then you get to

835
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 1: MBS and then finally Alan Lozard, who has made some plays.

836
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: He is though he's their guy the last three weeks,

837
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,080
Speaker 1: he's their number two receiver. They've kind of settled in

838
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:23,920
Speaker 1: on a rotation which is like Rogers maybe is holding

839
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: the ball too long, but it's a product of the

840
00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: fact that he has receivers that aren't getting open and

841
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: he's trying to make it happen, but there's nothing happening.

842
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: Lazard is an undrafted guy, and if he's going to

843
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: be the guy that steps up, it shows you that

844
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: they just haven't done a good job helping Rogers with weapons.

845
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,640
Speaker 1: But there's been there's been a lot of consternation and

846
00:43:39,760 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: we've we've added to it. You know, what is with

847
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:46,399
Speaker 1: this team's identity. You know, our our friend Aaron Nagler said,

848
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: maybe this team is you know, identity is just winning ugly,

849
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 1: which for this team, but the way they came into

850
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 1: this season, they are finding ways. The fact that they

851
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: have eleven wins says something. The defense has come along

852
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 1: a little bit lately after a pretty long slump. But

853
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: close out a game Aaron Rodgers, it was on him

854
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 1: a little bit late. He nearly fumbled it, he nearly

855
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 1: had an interception. He had some mental strange decisions in

856
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. And I've noticed their offense, especially late

857
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: in game struggles. Their last five drives here where all

858
00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 1: they needed at any point was was about a five

859
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 1: minute drive or a field goal drive. And you win

860
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: the game and you knock your rivals out for the season.

861
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 1: One first down punt, then three and out, three and out,

862
00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: three and out, three and out. That's all in the

863
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. So they were begging Mitch to come back

864
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: in this game, and the Bears almost did, and Mitch

865
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,239
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. And I'll say this, the Bears rolled

866
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,760
Speaker 1: up eight d and one yards and fifty five points

867
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: in the previous two weeks. Uh and Trabiski, after a

868
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:48,240
Speaker 1: nothing first quarter, finished with three eight yards on fifty

869
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: three passes, but you know what his I'll remember this

870
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: game for a fourth quarter interception that he fired right

871
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: into the arms of Dean Lowry. And it's the type

872
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 1: of failure that you'll remember this season by just Trabinsky

873
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 1: taking the book. They got the ball after a punt

874
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: after another three and out by the Packers at their

875
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: own forty down eight with a chance to save their season,

876
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 1: and um, Trabinsky just wasn't up for it. And I

877
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:13,680
Speaker 1: just wonder, this will be interesting. He is two games

878
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 1: left here, what what the Bears do and we'll have

879
00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: time to talk about that. But this this was a

880
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: chance in a big spot on the road to make

881
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: something happen. And again the Bears in their offense just

882
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 1: they weren't up for it. They made it as painful

883
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 1: as possible for Bears fans. I mean, I know they get, yes,

884
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: you want to be in a meaningful game in mid December.

885
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,320
Speaker 1: At least they gave them that. But having it basically

886
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: end on the Packers after getting their hopes up a little,

887
00:45:37,880 --> 00:45:39,839
Speaker 1: that's as tough as it gets. And by the way,

888
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: you know Khalil Mack and that defense they hit Rogers

889
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: four times and had one sack. So you know they

890
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: they needed everybody to step up in this game and

891
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 1: keep the season alive. And you know what nobody did.

892
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: And as a result, in July, baby, let's move up

893
00:45:54,640 --> 00:46:00,040
Speaker 1: and pip helmet that capacity. They dropped the ball a

894
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: cup by a Viking couching around good foibles, the tifty

895
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: to the forty goes tifty six shirt defensive touchdown by

896
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:27,280
Speaker 1: a funny ohable Paul Allen, Vikings Radio Network, a funny

897
00:46:28,440 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 1: oh Dunnabo scooped up a loose ball gallop to Gloria.

898
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: Game changing play in the game that quickly turned into

899
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 1: a vicious blowout thirty nine ten in favor of the

900
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: Vikings over the host Chargers West. This game was ten

901
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,959
Speaker 1: nine in the second quarter. Your locke was looking pretty good.

902
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: But then the Charges. You know, they had seven turnovers,

903
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: and you know, bad things happen when you turn it

904
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 1: over seven times in a football game. Listen to this

905
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: string of possessions, which I assure you have not heard

906
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 1: anything so offensive today. Interception fumble returned for touchdown, end

907
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: of half, fumble, punt turnover on downs, fumble, interception, interception

908
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: end game. That was their last nine possessions of the game.

909
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,719
Speaker 1: The phill play the whole game. Phil played the whole game.

910
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,680
Speaker 1: And here's what's going on with Phil. His arm is shot. Phil,

911
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:21,879
Speaker 1: his arm is shot. And you know how we talk

912
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,040
Speaker 1: about see it throw a quarter quarterbacks who have to

913
00:47:25,080 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 1: see the receiver come open before they actually released the ball.

914
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: Rivers has always been the opposite of that. He is

915
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: the most timing based quarterback in the NFL. He throws

916
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 1: two spots and he wants the receiver to be there.

917
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 1: That has turned this year into throwing the ball up

918
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: and praying that when the ball finally descends out of

919
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: the air, the receiver just happens to be there. And

920
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,239
Speaker 1: sometimes the defensive back is there instead. And that's what

921
00:47:48,360 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 1: happened today. Melvin Gordon fumbled twice. Watched the final twenty

922
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 1: five minutes from the bench, costly fumbles. The This was

923
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: a bad job locking by me and an even worse

924
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 1: job by the charge. It showed boldness, but it was

925
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 1: always a dangerous lock because the Vikings have shown all year,

926
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, they're a better team. But the Chargers had

927
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,280
Speaker 1: some juice going into the game. I mean, Phil doesn't

928
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,439
Speaker 1: make any sense. For Phil, just like call him Phil

929
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,399
Speaker 1: uh to join Eli walking into the sunset this year?

930
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: Or do you think this is a guy that's gonna

931
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:21,400
Speaker 1: try to, you know, make right after what's been pretty

932
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 1: much a down season for him. I wonder where this ends.

933
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he's opened up so far stadium with

934
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: the Chargers, but I think he might try to play

935
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:29,920
Speaker 1: somewhere else. Does Anthony Lynn open up so far with

936
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,640
Speaker 1: the Chargers? I think so. I think he has a

937
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 1: better chance than Phil. I wouldn't rule out I think

938
00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: Rivers could get a job somewhere. I do. I think

939
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:44,400
Speaker 1: he's shown enough this year, although it's getting tough and uh.

940
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: One thing the last couple of years have taught us,

941
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: especially with offensive line play falling so far behind the

942
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 1: athleticism of pass rushers, your old quarterback has to either

943
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: have a great offensive line or be so good at

944
00:48:58,520 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: getting rid of the ball quickly that it's not a

945
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: factor because these old quarterbacks just you put him with

946
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: a good line. I think he'd be a pretty solid

947
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, but they don't have that, and that's you

948
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: don't want to go into a season with that if

949
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: I guess if you're the Chargers. For the Vikings, though,

950
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,879
Speaker 1: This is an impressive win, you know. I know it's

951
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: all on turnovers, but they've needed it. I don't think

952
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: they've played quite their best lately. The big concern for

953
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: them is they lose Dalvin Cook to a shoulder injury

954
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: and that you know it's been happening where he doesn't

955
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 1: make it through the game and now you have a

956
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,320
Speaker 1: much bigger game next week. And Madison wasn't playing his

957
00:49:36,440 --> 00:49:39,839
Speaker 1: backup Alexander Madison with an ankle injury. Mike Boone saw

958
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,880
Speaker 1: a lot of playing time. Um Kirk Cousins did hit

959
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: six out of six on the opening drive on the road,

960
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: so that's worth noting. And Daniel Hunter, I'm not sure

961
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 1: we can say defensive player of the year, and in

962
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: a year with t J. Watt playing so well with

963
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones, de Bosa brothers, I'm not sure he's better

964
00:49:55,880 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: than all those guys, but he's making a strong case.

965
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 1: He had two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery, a sack.

966
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: He was all over. This is all when the game

967
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:07,600
Speaker 1: was still close. So they play the Packers next week, right,

968
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: what they do? They host the Packers and they are

969
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:14,319
Speaker 1: bankable in that don't and they take you know, they

970
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: get into first place, this is their chance to have

971
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: their first win the season against the winning team and

972
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: they will do it though, West and this will be

973
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: fun to track, especially for you and I. You mentioned

974
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: that's a banged up backfield. Who knows what they have

975
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: it is. You're gonna put a lot. It's gonna be

976
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: a lot on Kirk to move the ball in a

977
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,479
Speaker 1: big spot again for the NFC North on the line.

978
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: I can't wait to ignore the other fifty two players

979
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,280
Speaker 1: on his team after the game when it's on Monday

980
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 1: night football on and we're telling we're taping that night,

981
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 1: especially timed podcasts guaranteed that it does not matter one

982
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:50,200
Speaker 1: bit what anyone else on that roster does except for Kirk. Cousins.

983
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear about. Oh I gotta right

984
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 1: power rankings, Lady, Dad, Dan, We should all be watching

985
00:50:55,160 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: this game together Christmas Live, Live, live podcast, Well live, Cousins,

986
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,799
Speaker 1: uh and you know, come to the garage, guys, All right,

987
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: let's go, Spencer were Sprinton action to the right side

988
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 1: in the right flat, Mahomes holding it under pressure, Pump

989
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: faking moving to his right, trying to keep the play alive.

990
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: Keeps it alive and finds in the end zone for

991
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: two points. Sammy Watkins and the Chiefs to snow Angels

992
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,600
Speaker 1: in the end zone with a two point play. Didn't

993
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,719
Speaker 1: look like figure skating at Rockefeller's Center as he was

994
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: going back and forth and back and forth and then

995
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,160
Speaker 1: finally spinning and finding in the back of the end zone.

996
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,359
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins for two in the Chiefly twenty three to three.

997
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 1: Mitch Halters in the Chiefs Radio network, Patrick Mahomes through

998
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: for three forty two scores, Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey.

999
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: They were making plays in Kansas City rolls to a

1000
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 1: three win over the Broncos. The wind keeps Kansas City

1001
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:58,440
Speaker 1: a step behind New England for the second playoff. By

1002
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 1: Greg Uh. Maybe we're still waiting for the Chiefs to

1003
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 1: achieve full lift off on offense, but today that's more

1004
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:08,759
Speaker 1: encouraging progress for their defense. Three points against the Denver

1005
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,719
Speaker 1: team that was kind of looking on the up and up. Yeah,

1006
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 1: continuation of what they've shown us on defense, which with

1007
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:16,439
Speaker 1: a really good past defense and a good pass rush

1008
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 1: with Chris Jones, Uh and Frank Clark playing well today.

1009
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 1: But the story was the offense. I don't care that

1010
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: it says twenty three points. This did look like the

1011
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,719
Speaker 1: Phillis offense that I've been waiting to see for a month.

1012
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 1: I thought it was one of, if not the best,

1013
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes game of the year. It could have easily

1014
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: been a forty burger. You know, the weather was tricky,

1015
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: so they settled for some field goals. Mahomes is one,

1016
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:39,799
Speaker 1: you know, bad decision of the day. He did get

1017
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: picked off late, uh, kind of in garbage timer. They

1018
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 1: could have had more, but man, in such bad weather,

1019
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: I was amazed how he showed everything. I mean touch

1020
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: on some throws, he had some heaters, he had great accuracy,

1021
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: he moved well somehow in the snow. I sort of

1022
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 1: didn't understand it because it looked like the snow was

1023
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 1: killing the Broncos and his his throws were just fantastic

1024
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 1: all day. I feel like it's been said before. I

1025
00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: remember I believe a fifty to nothing Patriots with sixty something.

1026
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: Yeah that And I remember I believe it was Tom

1027
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 1: Brady who said that snow is not really a huge

1028
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: detriment to an offense. It's more like rain and muddy

1029
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 1: fields that could cause drama. But it was it was

1030
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,440
Speaker 1: like driving snow. And yes, the footing you can get

1031
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,000
Speaker 1: receivers more open, but it was more just the quality

1032
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: of his actual passes. Uh and Travis Kelsey helped him

1033
00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: out by making some great catches and Tyreek Hill and

1034
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:38,160
Speaker 1: it's just I think this was if you're a Chiefs fan,

1035
00:53:38,280 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 1: this is exactly what you wanted to see everything kind

1036
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:46,319
Speaker 1: of about. Yeah, the Casey offense is on track right now.

1037
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:48,279
Speaker 1: They don't have a much of a running game that's

1038
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,720
Speaker 1: been there all year and that was no better today,

1039
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,280
Speaker 1: So that's kind of their one weakness. But the passing

1040
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 1: game to me, Uh looked in full flight. Well, I

1041
00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,839
Speaker 1: think we both said around there by time a month

1042
00:53:59,880 --> 00:54:02,439
Speaker 1: of go, we expect him to not lose another game

1043
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,760
Speaker 1: until that Ravens game in the a f C title

1044
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 1: showed him. To me, these are by far the two

1045
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: best teams in the n f C, the Chiefs and

1046
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: the Ravens, right, and I do think they're ceiling is

1047
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,439
Speaker 1: right there with the r Ravens. The problem, of course

1048
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,840
Speaker 1: now is they're either gonna have to win the Chiefs

1049
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,919
Speaker 1: that is two road games or at least one road game,

1050
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,360
Speaker 1: you would think to get to the Super Bowl. But

1051
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: like I said, with the defense playing well and Tyrone,

1052
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: Matthew and Wan Thornhill had another great game. I mean,

1053
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: honey Badger was all over the place. It was a

1054
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: very telling sequence where he picked off a pass that

1055
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: was uh overturned by a very questionable penalty and the

1056
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: next play Thornhill picked out a pass of Drew Lock

1057
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: and I think Matthew had a sack and a couple

1058
00:54:43,160 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: more passes defense that they look good. They looked like

1059
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 1: the Chiefs that are producer Ryan Bartlett's hoping to see.

1060
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:52,560
Speaker 1: Maybe it's PTSD UM. I don't know, but one of

1061
00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,959
Speaker 1: those teams that you just mentioned, the Ravens are Chiefs.

1062
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 1: There's a good chance one of them's got to go

1063
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 1: to Gillette Stadium and win in Foxboro to get to

1064
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: that age the title game the Chiefs. Yes, Um, so

1065
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 1: that's still gotta happen, and that will be a big

1066
00:55:05,320 --> 00:55:07,640
Speaker 1: test when it happens. But yes, what we have seen

1067
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 1: to this point from these three teams, it does seem

1068
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: like New England's the clear cut number three in the conference,

1069
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 1: even if they end up with I agree, and the

1070
00:55:14,960 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: Chiefs have to feel good. I know is early, but

1071
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:18,800
Speaker 1: they beat the other two, and so at least I

1072
00:55:18,880 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: think that they should feel good about that, and they

1073
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 1: should feel good that they they run this division like

1074
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: no other team other than the Patriots, of course, run

1075
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 1: a division. They are twenty six and three against the

1076
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:33,840
Speaker 1: a f C West since two thousand and fifteen, including

1077
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 1: nine and one against the Broncos, and they beat them,

1078
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 1: beat the like the Broncos have been competitive all year

1079
00:55:39,280 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: except for when they play the Chiefs and then they

1080
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 1: get just you know, slapped around. Um. All right, let

1081
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 1: us move on to another team that got slapped around

1082
00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 1: today seven and a half ago, they lead by eleven

1083
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:51,919
Speaker 1: second and one of the seven team they run Drake

1084
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 1: Whiteside ten five four touch shown for ten and Drake

1085
00:55:56,120 --> 00:56:00,280
Speaker 1: and maybe puts this game away thirty four to seven

1086
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: team midway through the fourth quarter. The Bronze could not

1087
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: take even one more flat trouble. First, I might have

1088
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 1: that one cut just so our gear is it Dave

1089
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 1: passion ron Wolfy. That was Wolfy with the call our

1090
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 1: old friend with like the dabbled in frost and the

1091
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: Breeze quote from Oh Yeah Yeah, with the moon with

1092
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 1: the moon and the the Jesse the body Ventura voice

1093
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:29,799
Speaker 1: Cardinals Radio Network with the call yes, Kenyan Drake four touchdowns?

1094
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:33,360
Speaker 1: Whoa David Johnson is? Like what Kyler Murray through for

1095
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 1: two nineteen yards in a score Cardinals in a six

1096
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 1: game losing streak by beating up on the Browns. All right,

1097
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 1: let's bring in the great muscular both in body frame

1098
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:50,320
Speaker 1: and in the mind. Most importantly, Nick Shook, who tracked

1099
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: this game for us from his Cleveland mansion, Shook another

1100
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:58,080
Speaker 1: disappointing effort by the Browns in a season full of them.

1101
00:56:58,800 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 1: I like how my character is added the mansion, like it,

1102
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: like myself out I just assumed, you know, it's much

1103
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 1: I would imagine cost of living is. It's just a

1104
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 1: lot more affordable in Ohio compared to southern California. And

1105
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:17,920
Speaker 1: that paycheck that only went so far out here is

1106
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: sending you straight to the nice neighborhood on the right

1107
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: side of the tracks, right from from the second floor

1108
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: apartment in the west side of l A to the penthouse, right.

1109
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:30,000
Speaker 1: Shaker something like, don't don't worry about the facts, Nick,

1110
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: You're just you know, another character and Dan's play the truth.

1111
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: The truth is you know, your create your own story.

1112
00:57:39,040 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 1: Um anyway, Yeah, so the Browns. Of course it shook you.

1113
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 1: You worked with the Browns earlier this season, and uh,

1114
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 1: as crazy as it sounds, with some of the way

1115
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: things had been shaking out in the a f C,

1116
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: if they would have won today, maybe there would be

1117
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of buzz um, you know, as we're

1118
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:57,840
Speaker 1: taping this Sunday night football is going on. But like

1119
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: some buzz about the Browns having a Paulson, as it

1120
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: turns out that was all or not, because again, did

1121
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: they just not show up here pretty much? I mean

1122
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,480
Speaker 1: from the jump the Cardinals, they look like a much

1123
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: different team than it looks like two weeks ago when

1124
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:13,000
Speaker 1: they got destroyed by the Rams. You kind of saw

1125
00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: signs of it last week when they lost to the

1126
00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 1: Steelers in a close one, but they carried their momentum

1127
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: over this weekend and they were definitely the more prepared

1128
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 1: team I think. I mean, they came out and punched

1129
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: the Browns right in the mouth. The wolf the uh

1130
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 1: explanation of the flat shovel to the face. That that

1131
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,439
Speaker 1: was pretty much how they started the game and also

1132
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:32,640
Speaker 1: how they ended the game, and the Browns were just

1133
00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: kind of left too stagger and try to regain their balance,

1134
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 1: and for a moment there they did, but ultimately the

1135
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals were too much, which is hilarious to think about

1136
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: because they were three nine and one entering this game,

1137
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 1: and just we made a big deal about the brown

1138
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: schedule and how it's supposed to be so easy down

1139
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: the back half, and honestly, except for that win over

1140
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 1: the Dolphins, they haven't really looked that convincing against the

1141
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: teams that they're supposed to beat, and they didn't look

1142
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 1: like anything like it today. So yeah, tough day for

1143
00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: the Browns. No doubt Dorsey has such a interesting job

1144
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 1: ahead of him because I think we all looked at

1145
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: this roster entering the season and it looked like it

1146
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: was filled with top tier talent and it's still kind

1147
00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: of is. But I'm sure there are improvements that can

1148
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: be made, the offensive line a chief among them, perhaps,

1149
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:21,120
Speaker 1: But at the same time, like, do you make big

1150
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: changes in the off season with this roster or do

1151
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 1: you make a change on the sideline, like what would

1152
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,400
Speaker 1: be the move for the Browns in the off season,

1153
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 1: because this has been obviously quite disappointing right Well, I mean,

1154
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: you have some guys who are in their contract years

1155
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: who you might see leaves. Uh, some guys that you

1156
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 1: considered stars are very valuable players who have not played

1157
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: up at that level to Marius Randal being one of

1158
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 1: those guys who fit both of those descriptions. And you

1159
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,520
Speaker 1: also have to look at the team and wonder if

1160
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:48,440
Speaker 1: a coaching change is going to help them or not,

1161
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: or you know, you kind of have to. I think

1162
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: you have the almost pulled their players and you kind

1163
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,640
Speaker 1: of figure out what their opinion of their own coaches,

1164
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 1: which might seem divisive or backhand or whatever it would be.

1165
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you have to understand dan

1166
01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: fully the situation and the perspective of your players, because

1167
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: you do have some guys who are proven, a guy

1168
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 1: like Jervis Landry has proven. But a guy like Jervis

1169
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: Landry also got into a little bit of a sidelines

1170
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 1: bat with Freddy Kitchens today down in the boat. Yeah,

1171
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: right exactly, And so you know it's it's a matter

1172
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 1: of is does he have this team still or not?

1173
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: And I think that should influence your decision at some

1174
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 1: of that decision at the end of the season. But

1175
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 1: they didn't play like he had them today, I mean

1176
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: their defense, Uh, couldn't stop in those bleed. Their offense

1177
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: tried its best, but even in key situations like that

1178
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: fourth or that third down failure to convert. You know,

1179
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:35,919
Speaker 1: early in the fourth quarter, they settled for a field

1180
01:00:35,920 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 1: goal and then they missed the field goal and everything

1181
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: just kind of unravels from there. As soon as they

1182
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,280
Speaker 1: missed that kick, it was like, man, this is where

1183
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 1: everything's just gonna snowball, And sure enough it didn't. And

1184
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: you only really wonder, and I think this is gonna

1185
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: be very influential on the status of Kitchen's job moving forward.

1186
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 1: Is is it gonna snowball into the final two weeks

1187
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 1: of the season or are they going to rebound and

1188
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 1: then you know, maybe when one of those last two

1189
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 1: or get another upset over the Ravens or something like that,

1190
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:00,320
Speaker 1: which I don't think he's going to have been, but

1191
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 1: you know, hypothetically, if that does happen, then that would

1192
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:05,480
Speaker 1: reinforce his status as the head coach. But if he

1193
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 1: goes in the opposite direction, then I think it makes

1194
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: your decision almost inevitable. Right rap Sheet reported Sunday morning

1195
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: that the Browns are standing behind Freddie Kitchens right now,

1196
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,959
Speaker 1: and I think the next two weeks. You you said

1197
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: the phrase, they looked the Cardinals looked like they were

1198
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: more prepared. And this year the team with Kenyan Drake's

1199
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 1: the one that had the running back with four rushing

1200
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns a hundred thirty seven yards on the ground. Kyler

1201
01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: Murray had another fifties twenties eight yard run by you

1202
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 1: know Kirk it it's I I don't I wouldn't ask

1203
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 1: the players. I mean that sounds like, you know, asking

1204
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:41,120
Speaker 1: the homeless guy on the street or whatever. It does

1205
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: not sound Brown's way to do it work for the Browns.

1206
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: So you have that kind of group. I mean, it's

1207
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: Otto Beckham getting thirteen targets for sixty six yards against

1208
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: one of the worst past defenses in the league. It's

1209
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 1: a mess. I don't need to see the next two weeks.

1210
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 1: What are the next two weeks gonna tell me? The

1211
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:01,240
Speaker 1: Browns are one of, if not the most consistent team

1212
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 1: in the entire NFL. They look the exact same every week,

1213
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 1: which is a little sloppy and a little mediocre. There's

1214
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: never a good game. They always every Browns game is

1215
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:12,919
Speaker 1: kind of the same. There are seven and nine team

1216
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 1: like they could be worse but that's that's what they've

1217
01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 1: been pretty much every single game. Tell him Greg, Yeah,

1218
01:02:18,280 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 1: they've been. They've been consistently disappointing the entire season. I

1219
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 1: think that's ultimately what has to influence your decision. I

1220
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 1: mean I mentioned the players that pulling the players at

1221
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 1: the end of the season just to like kind of

1222
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: get a feel for how they viewed the coach, because

1223
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: this is the first time coach. You know, it's like,

1224
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 1: does he connect with them? Maybe it's a conversation with

1225
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,160
Speaker 1: the team captains. I don't know who's a team captain.

1226
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. We got a lot to get to

1227
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: with the Browns of the off season, but uh, and

1228
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: a lot to get to for the rest of the show.

1229
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: But uh, Nick uh as always you kill it. You

1230
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: speak with confidence and knowledge, and that's what we look

1231
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: for in our gunners that we bring in. Well, you look,

1232
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to cover the punt correctly, and I'm trying

1233
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: to fill off this mansion directly to once at by

1234
01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 1: the time, all right, buddy, get to that gym alright

1235
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:06,240
Speaker 1: later a minute. Let's move on second down. In sixteen,

1236
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: Russ takes the shot gun snap has time looks fire's

1237
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: got a man opens its touchstoffs Shawks from twenty yards down.

1238
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 1: Luke Kickley looks to the nearest syline and says, coach,

1239
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: I can't cover everybody and lock it. Jeff ran to

1240
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: the quarter of the end zone and nobody was underneath him.

1241
01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 1: Rest finds him and the Seahawks score their third touchdown

1242
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 1: in the game. Steve Rabele Seahawks Radio Network with the call.

1243
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson went twenty of twenty six or two eight

1244
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:42,479
Speaker 1: six two touchdowns, including that connection to Tyler Lockett. Game note,

1245
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: looking healthy, looking like he's closer to Tyler Lockett and

1246
01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: they need that. And Chris Carson now they defined a

1247
01:03:49,560 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: number one guy with Shot Penny out of the picture

1248
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:53,400
Speaker 1: with the a c L injury. He goes for one

1249
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:56,840
Speaker 1: thirty three two touchdowns. The under man Seahawks got it

1250
01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:03,000
Speaker 1: done over the Panthers and Charlotte and they were manned Seahawks.

1251
01:04:03,040 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you how they're undermanned. You know, I'll

1252
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 1: give you this because you're a guy with two and

1253
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 1: f sacks couldn't make the game. Is that what happened?

1254
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 1: You know? Because I locked up the Seahawks and I

1255
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 1: got hit with some me or eat and that extended

1256
01:04:13,560 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 1: throughout the weekend on Twitter and I almost unlocked them.

1257
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,240
Speaker 1: But that, to me, that's even worse. It's like, stand

1258
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 1: by it. They passed my test, they passed the Vegas test.

1259
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 1: I stuck with them, and they played on Sunday without

1260
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: Jadavian Clowney. That's the two and a half sack guy.

1261
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 1: Maybe he's got like three or something. I don't know.

1262
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 1: Ezekiel and Sashakil Griffin, Michael Kendrick. By the time this

1263
01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:38,640
Speaker 1: game was over, they lost Bobby Wagner and Quadre Digs

1264
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 1: to ankle injuries. Wagner it looks like he escaped serious injury,

1265
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: but it was a scary looking injury. Digs Pete Carroll

1266
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 1: said after the game, Uh, looks like he's gonna miss time. So,

1267
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: I mean, this team, especially on defense, is beat up

1268
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: right now, and that that's not great timing wise, when

1269
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 1: you look at where the schedule is heading and as

1270
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: we inch closer to January. But you know, luckily they

1271
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 1: still have the indestructible Russell Wilson behind center. He leads

1272
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 1: to Seahawks on touchdown drives on each of their first

1273
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 1: three drives, and they kind of coasted to the finish line.

1274
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: I will say this thirty to ten with you know,

1275
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:15,080
Speaker 1: six minutes it was thirty to ten, and uh, I'll

1276
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 1: say this for the Panthers and another huge game for

1277
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. They scored two quick touchdowns and it's a

1278
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: six point game with less than four minutes to play,

1279
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 1: and they're facing the Seahawks a third and long with

1280
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 1: a chance for the Panthers to take the field, and

1281
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:32,760
Speaker 1: Wilson does what he does, which is step up, get

1282
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: a big completion to seal the game and keep Kyle

1283
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 1: Allen off the field. Chris Westling, you don't want Kyle

1284
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: Allen on the field with a game hanging in the bounce.

1285
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 1: I get up well, Christian Christian McCaffrey. For anybody who's

1286
01:05:46,080 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: wondering if if this string where the Panthers are just

1287
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 1: bending over and just letting team other teams do whatever

1288
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 1: they want to them. He's still playing at an all

1289
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: pro level. Still looks phenomenal. And I heard you exclaim

1290
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 1: if you times today, Dan, how good Christian McCaffrey looks.

1291
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: Just a fantastic season he is. Here's here's some numbers. Uh,

1292
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,880
Speaker 1: a hundred seventy five yards on a touchdown. Today, He's

1293
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: now over two thousand yards for scrimmage, and if he

1294
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: can manage a hundred and eighty six receiving yards over

1295
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: the next two weeks, he'll join Roger Craig and Marshall

1296
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 1: Falk one of the best stats uh in the NFL

1297
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 1: one thousand, one thousand club. He could be the third guy.

1298
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:26,919
Speaker 1: So any and I need to talk about shutting him down. Listen,

1299
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 1: these are football players. They play a football season. He's

1300
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 1: as you say, West, there's only sixteen of these and

1301
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:36,120
Speaker 1: this guy, you can never take away the history from him. Uh,

1302
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 1: if he's able to go one thousand, one thousand. So yes,

1303
01:06:38,840 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 1: while there's common sense, and Greg, I know you're gonna

1304
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 1: come in with a contrarian angle on this one. I

1305
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 1: agree with you, but okay, um, but if he has

1306
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: a chance to do that, that's some special stuff. So

1307
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 1: I hope, I hope he gets that chance, and I

1308
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:52,600
Speaker 1: hope he doesn't. No, I agree they should keep you

1309
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 1: just keep your players on the field. There's people paying money.

1310
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 1: It's sixteen games. Please, it's a great sign for Lockett.

1311
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 1: I think more than anything, if you're a Seahawks fan

1312
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 1: that they guessing went into this game saying, let's get

1313
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,680
Speaker 1: Tyler Lockett going, this is too important, and they throw

1314
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: to him nine times. He has eight for one twenty.

1315
01:07:10,720 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 1: That's huge. Josh Gordon finally makes a big play as

1316
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 1: a receiver. It's good to see. I mean, he has

1317
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 1: really not produced much for the Seahawks, not not as

1318
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: productive as a quarterback where he was intercepted on his

1319
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:28,080
Speaker 1: only throw and Greg as the playoff calculator. The Seahawks

1320
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: now eleven and three, the Niners eleven and three. But

1321
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:33,440
Speaker 1: the Seahawks have the head to head win. The Seahawks

1322
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 1: currently the number one thing they are and in the

1323
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 1: key is they went out and they do get the

1324
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:39,800
Speaker 1: one scene. So that is that is the upshot of

1325
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: everything today. For that they do have to win out.

1326
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 1: They have to the No they're not. I mean, you've

1327
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 1: got the Packers in the mix now too, you got

1328
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Technically the Seahawks finish home Cardinals and then

1329
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 1: home Niners intrusting. All right, let's move on. What a

1330
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 1: what a what a heroic to the ends all the

1331
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: touched up shot, Primus got the hat trick, is gonna

1332
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 1: touch down three today Bibra Shard Paramouny and well that

1333
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: catch he goes over a hundred yards for the first

1334
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:12,720
Speaker 1: time in his career. How about that for a bram

1335
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 1: spranking new Buck. Here this year Jane dagger House Box

1336
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:23,959
Speaker 1: Radio Network, Jameis Winston is doing the damn thing. In December,

1337
01:08:24,040 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Listen to this. That West your aerial history.

1338
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: Buff became the first player in NFL history to throw

1339
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: for four hundred fifty yards and consecutive games. Yes, leaving

1340
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,599
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Bucks to seventeen win over the Lions.

1341
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: The moribundant Detroit Lions, uh four touchdowns one pick for

1342
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 1: Winston West. Are the Bucks really gonna walk away from

1343
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 1: this marriage? Should they? Where are we at? Where are

1344
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,840
Speaker 1: you at? Well? If you don't walk away, you're gonna

1345
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: get the same results next year with this quarterback. But

1346
01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 1: you know that's what are these results? I can't I

1347
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 1: can't make sense on any of this. Now. They'll tell

1348
01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:00,360
Speaker 1: you into and out of games and you end up

1349
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:03,640
Speaker 1: with a five record or thereabouts, and this game is

1350
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 1: exactly what you would expect. I missed the first quarter

1351
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:08,799
Speaker 1: because I had to drive home and get my laptop,

1352
01:09:08,840 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 1: which I forgot that that was a bummer. That came

1353
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:14,719
Speaker 1: back to a report that Jamis Winston threw another interception

1354
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 1: on the opening drive, which now makes five games this

1355
01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,479
Speaker 1: year which he's done that and he is amazingly four

1356
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: and one in those games. Well that, yeah, it gets

1357
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,160
Speaker 1: him in the right mindset of like, all right, let's go.

1358
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 1: He also had two yards by the end of the

1359
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 1: first quarter in this game. I saw Mike Sando of

1360
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: The Athletic tweeted that he could not find another quarterback

1361
01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: in the database that had more passing yards through twenty

1362
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:40,759
Speaker 1: three minutes of a game than Jamis Winston did today.

1363
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 1: At one at that point in the game, it was

1364
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:45,600
Speaker 1: mid second quarter, the Bucks had three fifteen yards and

1365
01:09:45,640 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: the lines had two. Here's my thing. Anyone capable of

1366
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 1: making the throws that he makes is good at quarterbacking,

1367
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,679
Speaker 1: And I know then yeah, okay, yeah. Turning the ball

1368
01:09:56,760 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: over is massive and it's hurting his team when you know,

1369
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 1: lose again, and maybe that's maybe that's forever, but a

1370
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 1: lot of it is luck and happen, like maybe you

1371
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 1: can improve this. He's twenty five years old and he's

1372
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 1: gonna be maybe leading the leading scoring team in the NFL.

1373
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: By the time and let me piggyback off that, West,

1374
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 1: and then you can respond, Is it's so crazy that

1375
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:23,000
Speaker 1: one of these years, and we always talk about a

1376
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:25,560
Speaker 1: difference between eight and eight, ten and six, Uh, is

1377
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 1: it's very slim, razors razor thin that one of these

1378
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 1: years they end up ten and six and Winston gets

1379
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 1: hot in January? Is it so crazy to imagine a

1380
01:10:37,120 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 1: scenario where Jameis Winston gets his way into the playoffs

1381
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: and then starts doing crazy things. Well, let me answer

1382
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 1: these and if if the answer is yes, West, that's

1383
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:49,680
Speaker 1: why you gotta keep him in the building, if you

1384
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: believe he has that potential, because the whole thing is

1385
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:55,280
Speaker 1: about winning the Super Bowl. Is that in his bone

1386
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:57,320
Speaker 1: somewhere tucked than his d n A Are we seeing

1387
01:10:57,360 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 1: that peeking out? Or is this all just lipstick on

1388
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: a pig what we've been seeing this month. I'll answer

1389
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 1: those questions separately because they are too sotally, totally separate things.

1390
01:11:06,479 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 1: It's not crazy at all. We've seen all kinds of

1391
01:11:08,600 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks get hot, from Joe Flacco to Eli Manning, so

1392
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 1: of course Jamis Winston could do that. We've seen Jameis

1393
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 1: Winston get hot for stretches. But for Greg to say

1394
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:20,920
Speaker 1: this is good quarterbacking, no, it's not. It's it just

1395
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,679
Speaker 1: does a lot of high level quarterbacks that's good passing.

1396
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 1: It's not good quarterback. He's a good passer who makes

1397
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 1: bad decisions and has a has a career record of

1398
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: seven and forty. If he was if it was good quarterbacking,

1399
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: his record is an important part of quarterbacking, though of

1400
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 1: course it is saying I hear you, it's just tricky

1401
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:44,640
Speaker 1: because these throws it. It also shows what I think

1402
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:46,840
Speaker 1: people liked out of him coming out of school, which

1403
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 1: a lot of times it shows kind of a next

1404
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:51,720
Speaker 1: level mental processing, which is why the whole turnover thing

1405
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 1: is confusing because a lot of things he does he

1406
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:57,720
Speaker 1: reads defense and he and he kind of thinks through

1407
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 1: on his good plays really well for a relatively young quarterback.

1408
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 1: I know he's been in the league five years, but

1409
01:12:03,880 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 1: five years old. It's it's not like he's just kind

1410
01:12:06,360 --> 01:12:08,599
Speaker 1: of a big arm that's getting out there and throwing

1411
01:12:08,680 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 1: it like he does things that gets quarterback gurus like

1412
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 1: arians excited. It's also totally ignoring the fact that he's

1413
01:12:14,960 --> 01:12:17,560
Speaker 1: frenetic most of the time. He's not under control a

1414
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:20,000
Speaker 1: lot of the time and that's why he makes mistakes. Also,

1415
01:12:20,080 --> 01:12:22,800
Speaker 1: it should be noted in his defense, No Mike Evans

1416
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:24,800
Speaker 1: today when he goes back to back four and fifty

1417
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 1: yards and for the second half, right, No Chris Godwin,

1418
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:29,760
Speaker 1: who introduces no Way Arians is gonna let him go.

1419
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 1: That's how I feel, because I think he's gonna look

1420
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 1: at the stats at the end of the year and

1421
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 1: the Bucks are going to be second or first in

1422
01:12:35,120 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 1: points and yards, and he's gonna be just like I

1423
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:41,000
Speaker 1: don't want to go to the unknown the siren call,

1424
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 1: he won't be able to ignore it. Two more things

1425
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:47,559
Speaker 1: about this game. Shack Barrett what a year, Ties Warren

1426
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 1: Sap sack record for the franchise, and Bruce Arians after

1427
01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:54,560
Speaker 1: the game, this impending free agent is going nowhere, so

1428
01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 1: they they will either franchise tag him or sign him.

1429
01:12:58,080 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: But he's not going anywhere. And David Blow made a

1430
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,519
Speaker 1: couple of throws to the point where they got within

1431
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 1: a touchdown and they were kind of some at least

1432
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:08,639
Speaker 1: the the m and Doula. One was a great catch

1433
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 1: and then the other one was kind of busting coverage,

1434
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: but he threw the game away. Nicks bag for Mark Sessler, who,

1435
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:16,040
Speaker 1: of course, no, no, no, this was just an all

1436
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 1: around big game. Those are those are the only two

1437
01:13:18,800 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 1: plays for the Lions all game. David Blow then threw

1438
01:13:21,160 --> 01:13:23,520
Speaker 1: the game away with a pick six and then another interception,

1439
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 1: and then that play got called back, so he threw

1440
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 1: another interception after that. Best case scenario, Matt Patricia's someone's

1441
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:33,080
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator next year. Is that fair? Well, this was

1442
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 1: not a fair fight. The Lions are playing with second

1443
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:38,880
Speaker 1: and third stringers at how many positions? I don't Does

1444
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:40,800
Speaker 1: he get a third year? I don't know. Why do

1445
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:43,000
Speaker 1: you bring him back? I mean they were three three

1446
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 1: in one. All right, let's move on Barkley with the

1447
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:50,920
Speaker 1: right of Banning and a shotgun shot Manning on a

1448
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 1: play fake looks right, throws, right, passes, Oh, he's still

1449
01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 1: the five Blacks into the end for a touchdown fifty

1450
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:04,320
Speaker 1: one yards Banning The team haven't heard much from Bob

1451
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:07,120
Speaker 1: Poppa this year. On the podcast w F A N

1452
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:09,800
Speaker 1: in New York, it looks it looked like the end

1453
01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 1: of the Eli era at the meadow Lands. Let's hope

1454
01:14:12,200 --> 01:14:15,719
Speaker 1: it is, because thirty twenty the win over the Dolphins

1455
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 1: on Sunday was a nice way to go out to

1456
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:21,680
Speaker 1: the old quarterback. Giants. Fans loyal enough to attend to

1457
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 1: match up between the Giants and Dolphins gave their two

1458
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 1: time m v P Super Bowl MVP standing ovation as

1459
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:31,720
Speaker 1: he walked off the field. He went over three yards

1460
01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:34,960
Speaker 1: with two touchdowns and yes, three interceptions and the New

1461
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 1: York Giants snappy franchise record tying nine game losing streak.

1462
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 1: And I don't know what else you really need to

1463
01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:44,400
Speaker 1: know about this game. I don't even know if you

1464
01:14:44,439 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 1: need to know that, but I'll tell you that. Uh, yes,

1465
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:49,800
Speaker 1: Eli did some Eli things and it was really Um,

1466
01:14:49,960 --> 01:14:51,519
Speaker 1: it was nice little moment at the end of the

1467
01:14:51,600 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 1: game in the tunnel as he left the field. Um,

1468
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 1: his family was there and he was taking pictures with

1469
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:02,240
Speaker 1: his daughter and his chill aldren and um, this certainly

1470
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 1: felt like a good way for it to end. I

1471
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:07,160
Speaker 1: don't even know why you would at this point. Maybe

1472
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:09,639
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones comes back next year, next week. I don't

1473
01:15:09,680 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 1: know what his injury situation is, but why even running

1474
01:15:12,240 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 1: lie out there again? Just go out with the win

1475
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 1: at home? And well, it's the secure that they're gonna play.

1476
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:20,720
Speaker 1: You know who is their third. Yes, that's why. That's

1477
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. You you just kind of ended here.

1478
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:26,680
Speaker 1: You put in Alex hand Daniel Jones, do not win,

1479
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:30,479
Speaker 1: go get Chase Young and fly. Well, they maybe shouldn't

1480
01:15:30,479 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 1: try to win games because it's gonna change with the

1481
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 1: strength of schedule. And who knows what happened, but the

1482
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins did pass them. Whereas the Dolphins moved up a

1483
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 1: spot in the draft there they would now be at three.

1484
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:49,040
Speaker 1: And I believe the Redskins are right too. Uh and yeah,

1485
01:15:49,200 --> 01:15:51,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins have by the way they do think by

1486
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 1: the way the kids being in the just the way

1487
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:55,639
Speaker 1: the last two weeks have played out and the kids

1488
01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:59,519
Speaker 1: in the tunnel, he's retiring, it seems it just feels, Yeah,

1489
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:01,439
Speaker 1: it just feel he also feels like a guy that

1490
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 1: doesn't want to go to another place or be anyone's backup.

1491
01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 1: So in the fact that the kids were there, laugh,

1492
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 1: you know that you got the wife's there lasting, the

1493
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 1: kids in the tunnel there as they should. I'm happy.

1494
01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 1: I don't know a little final moment. I don't know

1495
01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 1: if this is accurate. It's tankathon dot com, but it

1496
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:18,560
Speaker 1: has the Giants at number two with the strength of

1497
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:23,680
Speaker 1: schedule advantage over the Dolphins and Redskins fellow three and

1498
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:28,000
Speaker 1: eleven teams. Sounds like a reputable website. Serious they have

1499
01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:31,640
Speaker 1: a great layout of their web. Uh and one one

1500
01:16:31,720 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 1: note on the Dolphins that there's just so much work

1501
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 1: that needs to be done for this team. And everyone's

1502
01:16:36,600 --> 01:16:40,800
Speaker 1: you know, everyone's talking about the quarterback and going and

1503
01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 1: getting that guy and finding the guy. But they have

1504
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:46,720
Speaker 1: the worst running game in the league. They have an

1505
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:50,080
Speaker 1: offensive line that is completely needs a makeover. And when

1506
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 1: you're leading rusher in two thousand nineteen, is Ryan Fitzpatrick.

1507
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:57,880
Speaker 1: That Ryan Fitzpatrick, the Harvard guy, the Beard guy, like

1508
01:16:58,280 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 1: seven years old, the guy with all the kids. Oh

1509
01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:02,800
Speaker 1: my god, you have a lot of work to do.

1510
01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:05,759
Speaker 1: And it's not just finding a quarterback. Got to start somewhere.

1511
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: They said. It fascinating to me. NFL record to date,

1512
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 1: more players have suited up for the Dolphins and any

1513
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: team in NFL history, and we got two weeks left

1514
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:16,479
Speaker 1: to go. I wonder if they've also made the most

1515
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:18,680
Speaker 1: waiver claims in NFL history. It's kind of the way

1516
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:20,920
Speaker 1: to do it. Just try all that all these guys

1517
01:17:20,960 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 1: out in your tanking season. They still got the Bengals.

1518
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:25,320
Speaker 1: Who knows. Yeah, if you're not gonna try before the

1519
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:27,800
Speaker 1: season starts, that's the way to do it. All right,

1520
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:31,639
Speaker 1: let's move on. You got two seconds left to play.

1521
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: Did it right? But you already know what it's gonna be.

1522
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a hill mirror car steps up, fires

1523
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:39,559
Speaker 1: the hail Mary high up into the air, right side

1524
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 1: of the end zone. Jump ball up in the air. Incomplete,

1525
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 1: and in the final act, the Raiders have lost to

1526
01:17:47,280 --> 01:17:52,720
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Oakland Alameter Colosseum, and the

1527
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:57,440
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders are no more know how deflating Rerent Musburger

1528
01:17:58,560 --> 01:18:05,920
Speaker 1: and Lincoln Kennedy what they called k CBS Gardner Minshew

1529
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:08,400
Speaker 1: through two touchdown passes to Chris Conley in the final

1530
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 1: five fifteen and the jack spoiled that final scheduled game

1531
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:16,160
Speaker 1: at Oakland Coliseum a sixteen win. This is not how

1532
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 1: NFL football in Oakland was supposed to end. Damn, I

1533
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:22,639
Speaker 1: wish we had some boots on the ground for this game.

1534
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:28,680
Speaker 1: Oh wait, joining us now via the telephone line is

1535
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:32,600
Speaker 1: the great Mark Sessler, who was there to take it

1536
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:36,240
Speaker 1: all in. First of all, Mark, are you safe. I

1537
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:38,320
Speaker 1: am safe at the moment. But I'm gonna be honest

1538
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 1: with you because you know, we've we've exited Super Bowls

1539
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 1: before where this is a little bit of a different

1540
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 1: situation here outside of the Colosseum, I'm on some sort

1541
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:51,519
Speaker 1: of a concourse where people are flowing towards a tunnel

1542
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: that leads to a bart station, and I've literally been

1543
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: told by two security people get out of here sooner

1544
01:18:56,520 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 1: you may suffer the consequence. So point we will TVD

1545
01:19:01,280 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 1: on where I will be an hour from now. Wait,

1546
01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: what I mean, what is the vibe there? Obviously we

1547
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:07,639
Speaker 1: we heard some things about some fighting on the field.

1548
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 1: It wasn't not a chaotic scene, right like what's happening

1549
01:19:11,320 --> 01:19:15,479
Speaker 1: once the CBS cameras go away at the coliseum. It's fine,

1550
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just you know, I grew up in the suburb,

1551
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:20,599
Speaker 1: so there's an element I'm not. It's honestly, it's totally good.

1552
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:22,680
Speaker 1: I would say this because I think that you know,

1553
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:24,679
Speaker 1: and I tweeted out some of the stuff that happened

1554
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 1: after the game, uh, and it was a five per

1555
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,720
Speaker 1: cent of the fans acting up in a huge chunk

1556
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 1: of them being fine. I think that. I think the

1557
01:19:34,360 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 1: fact that it's evolved into the loss that it did,

1558
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:40,839
Speaker 1: where at halftime I did a phoner with Sky Sports

1559
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:43,839
Speaker 1: and I'm owing a hundred and eighty six on predictions

1560
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:45,960
Speaker 1: on sky Sports this year. But I told him that

1561
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 1: if the Sessler family owned a house versus renting, that

1562
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 1: I would bet, without any questions or any doubt that

1563
01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 1: the Raiders were going to take that game, because they

1564
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:57,320
Speaker 1: just rode that feverish emotion in the first half, and

1565
01:19:57,400 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 1: then you know, I was wandering around, so I didn't.

1566
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm not a month and for TFF on this particular

1567
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:06,000
Speaker 1: about but I cannot believe the way that it ended.

1568
01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 1: I think the fans are extremely deflated and disappointed, and

1569
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:12,639
Speaker 1: it let some of the mess the end, which was minor,

1570
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 1: I mean, and yeah, it's like bad job by the Raiders,

1571
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: who have had a season that had some nice highs.

1572
01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:21,600
Speaker 1: But you're up sixteen to three, You're against the Jaguars

1573
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 1: team that has been historically awful over the last five weeks.

1574
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:27,800
Speaker 1: That's a game that you gotta you just gotta close out.

1575
01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 1: You gotta close it out for your fans, who have

1576
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:33,800
Speaker 1: been as loyal as any fans in football. Right to

1577
01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 1: the very end. So it is just it stinks the

1578
01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:38,679
Speaker 1: way it went out. And one big play Mark, I'm

1579
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 1: not sure what your vantage point was on the field,

1580
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: but a big play in this game. Uh. Derek Carr

1581
01:20:44,520 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: slides for the first down with the two oh five

1582
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:51,080
Speaker 1: to play, even signals with a like hand gesture to

1583
01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:54,000
Speaker 1: the crowd in Oakland. He begins celebrating a victory. They

1584
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 1: ruled that he slid out of bounds. After the game,

1585
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:58,719
Speaker 1: he says, that was one of the most shocking moments

1586
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:01,599
Speaker 1: of my life. Don't want to say much more. I'll

1587
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:04,120
Speaker 1: keep my money in my pocket because what happens after that?

1588
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 1: They go three and out, miss a field goal, drop

1589
01:21:08,080 --> 01:21:10,880
Speaker 1: a third down throw which they could have run it there,

1590
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:13,879
Speaker 1: dropped the third down throw, miss a field goal penalty,

1591
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 1: they get moved in five yards, misses again, and then

1592
01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 1: they allow Gardner Minshew And this is a cruel twist

1593
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:22,000
Speaker 1: of irony for you, Mr Sessler, to march the Jags

1594
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:24,760
Speaker 1: down the field to win the game. Shouldn't end it

1595
01:21:24,840 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 1: this way, no, you know, it was the wrong day

1596
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:30,080
Speaker 1: for magics from Mr Minshew. And at that point, because

1597
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,840
Speaker 1: my my goal was to get on the field a

1598
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 1: sap so I was actually watching that series of plays,

1599
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:39,000
Speaker 1: which were the absolute key moments in the game, with

1600
01:21:39,200 --> 01:21:42,519
Speaker 1: two very gruff, elderly security men that would not allow

1601
01:21:42,600 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 1: me to essentially move beyond from point A to B,

1602
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 1: and I had to wait until the time to take

1603
01:21:47,160 --> 01:21:49,080
Speaker 1: down and and we kind of were joking by the

1604
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 1: end of the final two minutes that game because of

1605
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:53,800
Speaker 1: the way it unfolded. It took like another thirty five

1606
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 1: minutes plus. I thought I'd signed it well, and it's like,

1607
01:21:56,280 --> 01:22:00,000
Speaker 1: but it was. It was an absolute picture of collapse

1608
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 1: ups and I just think that the stadium was completely

1609
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:05,800
Speaker 1: caught off guard. There were people today and for good

1610
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:08,519
Speaker 1: reason that we're they were watching the game, but they

1611
01:22:08,520 --> 01:22:12,679
Speaker 1: were also I just waltzed around the place out celebrating, hugging,

1612
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:15,640
Speaker 1: drinking beers with each other out of the concourses, and

1613
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 1: I think they just thought this thing was in the

1614
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: bag and I and for good reason, and the way

1615
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:22,639
Speaker 1: it ended it is could not have been a more

1616
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 1: sour note to what other otherwise felt like a huge celebration.

1617
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:30,640
Speaker 1: What was the celebration and kind of your pregame experience

1618
01:22:30,720 --> 01:22:35,800
Speaker 1: and and everything like the rest of the day, I well,

1619
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 1: no because I am a raging professional and I really

1620
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:40,600
Speaker 1: wanted to, uh, but I also I was like, you know,

1621
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 1: what what am I doing not eating meat products? Because

1622
01:22:43,439 --> 01:22:46,759
Speaker 1: it was like seeing some of the most insanely grilled

1623
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: food stuff that you'll ever imagine. And just the people that,

1624
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, even if this place gets a rap for

1625
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:54,599
Speaker 1: if you show up in a Chief Jersey, you will

1626
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 1: not leave alive. And Jaguars fans, which were about you know,

1627
01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 1: two percent of the crowd, we're floating around and they

1628
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:02,720
Speaker 1: were treated fine. And I just think today really was

1629
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 1: uh an example for me of how great this fan

1630
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:08,040
Speaker 1: base is. And you know, talking to a bunch of

1631
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:10,519
Speaker 1: them for this piece I'm working on, most of them

1632
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:12,519
Speaker 1: are like, yes, of course, we would never abandon them.

1633
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:14,400
Speaker 1: This isn't the you know, the cults leaving in the

1634
01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 1: middle of the night, or the Browns uh turning into

1635
01:23:16,880 --> 01:23:20,280
Speaker 1: the Ravens out of nowhere ridiculously, And it's not. It's

1636
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:22,679
Speaker 1: like they're they're gonna move and and and and travel

1637
01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:25,320
Speaker 1: and go to Vegas and they kind of fit that city.

1638
01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:28,599
Speaker 1: But this crew here, the people that live in Oakland,

1639
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,400
Speaker 1: I think there is no doubt, um an aura of

1640
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 1: heartbreak to it. And especially at the end of the

1641
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:37,600
Speaker 1: game watching people here today kind of like give like

1642
01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:40,200
Speaker 1: low kisses to the stadium as they were leaving, and

1643
01:23:40,280 --> 01:23:42,080
Speaker 1: you know, just not wanting to go. They just didn't

1644
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:45,479
Speaker 1: want to go there out here drinking canned beers and uh,

1645
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:47,559
Speaker 1: you know, the cops at this point are have had enough,

1646
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 1: but it's like they don't want to leave, and I

1647
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 1: don't blame them. It's so I'm honestly very I feel

1648
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:55,040
Speaker 1: lucky to have been here and seen it, because it's

1649
01:23:55,080 --> 01:23:59,440
Speaker 1: a huge concept to even imagine the Raiders beat in California.

1650
01:23:59,479 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't care if flipping between North count Southern California,

1651
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:06,600
Speaker 1: but to leave entirely is it's kind of shocking on

1652
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:11,240
Speaker 1: an NFL level. You touched on the Browns leaving for Baltimore,

1653
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 1: and you endured that as a fan. I think we've

1654
01:24:14,160 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: all been kind of struck by the contrast between, well

1655
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 1: those of us old enough to remember the contrast between

1656
01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:23,280
Speaker 1: that season in Cleveland and what the love fest that's

1657
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:26,200
Speaker 1: going on in Oakland this year. Do you have any

1658
01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:29,639
Speaker 1: thoughts on that or did you personally encounter any Raiders

1659
01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:33,000
Speaker 1: fans who had vitriol for their team before the game.

1660
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:35,880
Speaker 1: Or during the game. I think the vitriol that I

1661
01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:39,280
Speaker 1: that I caught wind of was towards uh, you know,

1662
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:41,760
Speaker 1: and it's not surprising, I guess towards Mark Davis because

1663
01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:45,240
Speaker 1: I think they felt like the Al Davis living in

1664
01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:47,639
Speaker 1: Well would never have done this, would never have made

1665
01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:49,760
Speaker 1: this move that he you know, he's a guy. I mean,

1666
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:52,680
Speaker 1: he already moved to l A. Well. I mean, so

1667
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:54,920
Speaker 1: he moved to l A and back. But when they

1668
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 1: when they decided that they could make more money. I

1669
01:24:57,640 --> 01:24:59,120
Speaker 1: was told by a few raiders people that you know

1670
01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:01,719
Speaker 1: Al Davis based Lee was told he could have stayed

1671
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 1: in l A and made much more profit, and he

1672
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 1: decided not to. And so obviously that was a bumpy ride.

1673
01:25:07,160 --> 01:25:09,920
Speaker 1: But I think that the victual is pretty low. I

1674
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,200
Speaker 1: think it's disappointment, sadness, and but I think this is

1675
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 1: a fan base that's gonna it's the right fan base

1676
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 1: to do this, even though it doesn't feel right like

1677
01:25:17,280 --> 01:25:19,519
Speaker 1: they're gonna travel. Like I there's no doubt the people

1678
01:25:19,560 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 1: that I spent time with today, they feel like they'd

1679
01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 1: fit in a weekend and in Vegas without too much trouble, right.

1680
01:25:24,880 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 1: But the way today played out, it just as a

1681
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:33,560
Speaker 1: reminder you can't script sports and and that fans, the

1682
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:36,200
Speaker 1: reality is you can give as much as you want

1683
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:38,800
Speaker 1: to the experience, and that's what you're gonna get out

1684
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:40,920
Speaker 1: of it, because you might not get anything back. You

1685
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 1: might just get you might get misery on a day

1686
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,320
Speaker 1: like this back if you're putting all your hopes on

1687
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,360
Speaker 1: the result, like I thought, like leaving a city is

1688
01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: pretty much the worst thing UH sports franchise can do.

1689
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:56,679
Speaker 1: But I was wrong. Losing a sixteen to three lead

1690
01:25:56,760 --> 01:25:59,280
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars on the day or leaving the city

1691
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 1: when John Gooden didn't go for it on fourth and

1692
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:05,679
Speaker 1: one at the forty nine just gutless play calling decides

1693
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 1: to punt when they have twelve men on the field

1694
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:10,599
Speaker 1: on another fourth and one for the Jaguars is terribly

1695
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 1: poorly coached and they botched the end of the situation

1696
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:16,240
Speaker 1: like this has been the worst franchise in terms of

1697
01:26:16,320 --> 01:26:19,080
Speaker 1: wins losses in the last eighteen years. They have one

1698
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:22,000
Speaker 1: winning season and the fact that these fans are showing

1699
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:25,120
Speaker 1: up in mass like this after that eighteen season run,

1700
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 1: can you there aren't many cities that would do that,

1701
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 1: and all they get is is a kick in the

1702
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:31,280
Speaker 1: in the you know one on the way out the

1703
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:33,519
Speaker 1: Raiders at a one oh two and five record at

1704
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:36,200
Speaker 1: the Oakland Coliseum when leading by ten plus points after

1705
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:40,760
Speaker 1: three quarters before losing on Sunday. Mark any final thoughts, Well,

1706
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:43,760
Speaker 1: I'll say this, Greg, uh, that was well said by Greg,

1707
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:46,400
Speaker 1: and I did encounter a number of Raiders fans here.

1708
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 1: They just wanted to say that Greg's situational football awareness

1709
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:53,800
Speaker 1: is something that they are that they unbrace, they enjoy,

1710
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:55,920
Speaker 1: and when they make that move to Vegas, that will

1711
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:58,040
Speaker 1: still be something that they care about. Um, but I

1712
01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:00,679
Speaker 1: would say that says that's the final thing that it's sad.

1713
01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm kind of walking out and I'm about to get

1714
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,120
Speaker 1: into this tunnel. I don't know where it goes. It

1715
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:07,200
Speaker 1: goes into total darkness. I see a hillside. I don't.

1716
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:09,639
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have never really felt this way

1717
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:11,640
Speaker 1: at a live game where there's just this sort of

1718
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:15,799
Speaker 1: weird sadness mixed with kind of like losing a family

1719
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:19,599
Speaker 1: member situation. And I don't know, it's obviously not putting

1720
01:27:19,600 --> 01:27:21,320
Speaker 1: it into words very well, but it's it's it's kind

1721
01:27:21,320 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 1: of that day. I don't think anyone here because of

1722
01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:27,320
Speaker 1: As Greg mentioned, the final result, you can't just kind

1723
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:29,519
Speaker 1: of kiss goodbye as this beautiful thing. It's kind of

1724
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:32,479
Speaker 1: tinged with a little bit of darkness, and I think

1725
01:27:32,520 --> 01:27:35,920
Speaker 1: that's what the move feels like too, stepping any ross sage.

1726
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:40,000
Speaker 1: Not yet, but I mean the night is young. Mark.

1727
01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:43,240
Speaker 1: It's good to hear you are in fine spirits, uh

1728
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 1: and alive. Please head back down the coast now and

1729
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:50,559
Speaker 1: rejoin us for the next edition of Around the NFL podcast.

1730
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 1: I will see you Tuesday. All right, buddy, Let's now

1731
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:56,840
Speaker 1: move to Sunday Night Football. Sixteen seconds left. Here's the snap.

1732
01:27:57,080 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 1: Hodges looks, looks, runs, Sue left, direct track, fires it

1733
01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:04,760
Speaker 1: into the end zone. It is picked up, it is intercepted.

1734
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:08,720
Speaker 1: It is picked up by the Bills. That should do it.

1735
01:28:09,320 --> 01:28:12,559
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace comes up with the pick. His teammates surround

1736
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:15,439
Speaker 1: him down in the end zone. Interception for the Bills.

1737
01:28:15,680 --> 01:28:18,679
Speaker 1: With six seconds left, Wallace comes up with the pick.

1738
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 1: The Bills are going to the postseason. John Murphy with

1739
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 1: the call for the Bills. Radio network, Oh that Buffalo defense.

1740
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:34,200
Speaker 1: Four interceptions of Devlin Duck, Hodges two for the Great Trade,

1741
01:28:34,200 --> 01:28:38,679
Speaker 1: Avious White and Levi Wallace following a Jordan Jordan Ployer

1742
01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:42,000
Speaker 1: pick in the fourth quarter and successive tries that close

1743
01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:46,040
Speaker 1: it out to ten. The Bills are tenanted for and

1744
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:48,800
Speaker 1: they're going to the dance for the second time in

1745
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:52,280
Speaker 1: twenty years. It'll be the second time in three years,

1746
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:54,720
Speaker 1: depending on how you want to look any ways to

1747
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 1: look at it. Sean McDermott, nice job, man, six and one.

1748
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:00,880
Speaker 1: The Bills are on the road this year and they

1749
01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:05,240
Speaker 1: quiet a Steelers team that really, you know, entered this

1750
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:08,639
Speaker 1: Action West looking like, uh, one of the hottest teams

1751
01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 1: in football. But there was always that question, was Duck

1752
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:13,639
Speaker 1: Hodges in a big spot against this type of defense

1753
01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:16,599
Speaker 1: couldn't go badly? It went very badly. Well, I think

1754
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:19,360
Speaker 1: when we looked at this game, it's no surprise how

1755
01:29:19,400 --> 01:29:21,920
Speaker 1: it played out. We didn't trust either quarterback against either

1756
01:29:22,000 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 1: of these defenses, and we saw the Steelers limitations in

1757
01:29:25,400 --> 01:29:27,680
Speaker 1: the passing game. I know their fans don't want to

1758
01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 1: hear this, but it's already been a successful season for

1759
01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:33,560
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh being in control the number six seed with a

1760
01:29:33,640 --> 01:29:36,560
Speaker 1: four string undrafted rookie at quarterback and a slew of

1761
01:29:36,680 --> 01:29:40,439
Speaker 1: injuries at the skill positions on offense. They've gone about

1762
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:43,280
Speaker 1: as far as a quarterback like Duck Hodges can take them. Well,

1763
01:29:43,320 --> 01:29:45,160
Speaker 1: they have two big games coming up, and if they

1764
01:29:45,200 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 1: win those two games, uh, and we'll see if the

1765
01:29:48,280 --> 01:29:51,000
Speaker 1: Ravens play their starters in week seventeen, they're going to

1766
01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:53,360
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So I I don't think they'll look at

1767
01:29:53,400 --> 01:29:55,760
Speaker 1: this as some lost cause. But credit needs to go

1768
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:58,760
Speaker 1: to the Bills for what I think was the best

1769
01:29:58,880 --> 01:30:02,680
Speaker 1: moment since two thousand. I mean since I don't know,

1770
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:05,719
Speaker 1: is this their biggest way than twenty years? Because making

1771
01:30:05,720 --> 01:30:09,000
Speaker 1: the playoffs because Andy Dalton beat two beats an opponent

1772
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:11,160
Speaker 1: for you, and you sneak in and that's fun and

1773
01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:13,320
Speaker 1: you got the monkey off your back. But this is

1774
01:30:13,360 --> 01:30:16,800
Speaker 1: Sunday night football. This is earning your way. This is

1775
01:30:16,920 --> 01:30:19,000
Speaker 1: ten and four, and it's doing it the kind of

1776
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:21,559
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott way with a real team that I don't

1777
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:24,599
Speaker 1: think UM has lucked its way into ten and four.

1778
01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 1: The schedules obviously helped, But tonight they had the better

1779
01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:30,479
Speaker 1: running game and they had the better defense. I mean,

1780
01:30:30,479 --> 01:30:32,960
Speaker 1: their defense made bigger plays. They had nine tackles for

1781
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:35,320
Speaker 1: loss whereas I think the Steelers had five. They had

1782
01:30:35,360 --> 01:30:37,800
Speaker 1: more quarterback hits, they had the interceptions, they were the

1783
01:30:37,840 --> 01:30:40,640
Speaker 1: big play defense. I think I think I predicted on

1784
01:30:40,720 --> 01:30:44,479
Speaker 1: Thursday Show this game would end seventeen and like we

1785
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 1: were saying, this is this was how it was gonna

1786
01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:47,960
Speaker 1: be and it was gonna come down to I thought,

1787
01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:51,240
Speaker 1: who was the quarterback that kind of killed their team?

1788
01:30:51,760 --> 01:30:53,800
Speaker 1: And Uh, while no one is going to be throwing

1789
01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:56,320
Speaker 1: bouquets at the feet of Josh Allen, you will give

1790
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:59,880
Speaker 1: him credit for making the big throw. Tyler Croft was

1791
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:01,720
Speaker 1: targeted once in this game, and it came in a

1792
01:31:02,120 --> 01:31:05,880
Speaker 1: huge spot on third down. There was a uh ten

1793
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:09,920
Speaker 1: to tend game and the Bills their previous possession of

1794
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 1: scoring chance. They had first and goal and didn't even

1795
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:16,160
Speaker 1: let Alan throw the ball. They ran the ball once.

1796
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:19,080
Speaker 1: They intended a trick play with Frank Gore that didn't work,

1797
01:31:19,200 --> 01:31:21,400
Speaker 1: leading to another loss on a run that ran it

1798
01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:24,479
Speaker 1: on third end goal for nothing, a loss of yards,

1799
01:31:24,479 --> 01:31:27,120
Speaker 1: settled for the field goal, and it made you think, God,

1800
01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:29,040
Speaker 1: they're never gonna let Josh Allen try to win a

1801
01:31:29,080 --> 01:31:31,200
Speaker 1: game in this big stage. But they did let him

1802
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:33,760
Speaker 1: run that play, and credit to the Bills because it

1803
01:31:33,800 --> 01:31:36,599
Speaker 1: paid off. Alan hits Croft. Uh on the right side

1804
01:31:36,600 --> 01:31:38,400
Speaker 1: of the end zone and that was the winning score.

1805
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:41,760
Speaker 1: That was an all passing drive, essentially on a day

1806
01:31:41,840 --> 01:31:44,760
Speaker 1: where they leaned on the run. That touchdown drive was

1807
01:31:44,880 --> 01:31:47,720
Speaker 1: on Alan's arm and he hit a deep play down

1808
01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:50,599
Speaker 1: the field to John Brown. And they've barely hit those

1809
01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:53,160
Speaker 1: plays this year, but they've had a couple over the

1810
01:31:53,280 --> 01:31:56,560
Speaker 1: last two weeks. Josh Allen also had a rushing touchdown

1811
01:31:56,720 --> 01:32:00,360
Speaker 1: in this game, set up by an incredible Devin Singletary run,

1812
01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:02,880
Speaker 1: and to me that that's the story here. They did

1813
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:06,400
Speaker 1: have more juice. I mean Singletary, although he had fumbles

1814
01:32:06,439 --> 01:32:09,040
Speaker 1: in this game, he had more juice than any Pittsburgh

1815
01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:11,840
Speaker 1: running back. And Josh Allen, even if it wasn't perfect,

1816
01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:14,000
Speaker 1: certainly had a lot more juice than Duck Hodges to

1817
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:17,479
Speaker 1: dave Is White is the All Pro cornerback opposite Stefine

1818
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:21,120
Speaker 1: Gilmore on my list. Smokey Brown already as a career

1819
01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:23,839
Speaker 1: high and receiving yards this year. He's been a great signing.

1820
01:32:24,200 --> 01:32:26,640
Speaker 1: And Jordan Phillips, who the Bills I believe picked up

1821
01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:29,560
Speaker 1: all the waivers from the Dolphins last year after a

1822
01:32:29,640 --> 01:32:32,559
Speaker 1: disciplinary measure. Uh is up the nine and a half

1823
01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:34,719
Speaker 1: sacks on the year for a defensive tackle. We should

1824
01:32:34,720 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 1: give Brian Dable some love. I mean, they he's their

1825
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:39,559
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator for the Bills, and they throw a lot

1826
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:42,960
Speaker 1: of looks at you, and they on both their touchdown drives,

1827
01:32:43,000 --> 01:32:46,920
Speaker 1: they did a lot of creative things formationally. They went

1828
01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:49,840
Speaker 1: for a fourth and six early in the game and

1829
01:32:49,960 --> 01:32:52,519
Speaker 1: converted it with set up some points, so they were

1830
01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:54,640
Speaker 1: aggressive in spot. He's done a good job just kind

1831
01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:57,400
Speaker 1: of keeping defenses off balance with with with just what

1832
01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:00,880
Speaker 1: a a weird offense. But it affect enough the Bills.

1833
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:04,120
Speaker 1: Don't blink. They haven't always won these games against the

1834
01:33:04,400 --> 01:33:06,679
Speaker 1: upper teams in the n FC. In fact, we're going

1835
01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:08,240
Speaker 1: into this game we talked about it was like, go

1836
01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:11,080
Speaker 1: get that big win, and I count this one is

1837
01:33:11,080 --> 01:33:13,560
Speaker 1: a big win, beating the eight and five Steelers in

1838
01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:16,080
Speaker 1: their building in prime time, in front of Al, Chris

1839
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:18,439
Speaker 1: and Michelle. But I also I'll say this one other

1840
01:33:18,479 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 1: takeaway from the game. It's a lot of Avio mcnifico

1841
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:24,040
Speaker 1: um and you know, right off, Duck Hodges off this game.

1842
01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:26,760
Speaker 1: But I feel like this gave us the ceiling of

1843
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:29,840
Speaker 1: the Steelers that their defense and you know there's certain players,

1844
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:31,640
Speaker 1: and maybe the game goes a different way t J.

1845
01:33:31,800 --> 01:33:34,240
Speaker 1: Watt with that punch out attempt if he hits Josh

1846
01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:36,519
Speaker 1: Allen's ball instead of like his thigh or whatever. He

1847
01:33:36,600 --> 01:33:39,479
Speaker 1: ended up. Yea, they fumbled on the ten. They fumbled

1848
01:33:39,560 --> 01:33:43,240
Speaker 1: inside the ten yard line to close the first I

1849
01:33:43,280 --> 01:33:46,280
Speaker 1: mean they maybe in and if the Steelers go on

1850
01:33:46,360 --> 01:33:48,840
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs, they can win some games just

1851
01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:51,920
Speaker 1: because of the defense and and Hodge Hodges and company

1852
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:54,200
Speaker 1: making a couple of plays. But to me, I feel

1853
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:56,080
Speaker 1: like this is kind of how their season will eventually

1854
01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:58,639
Speaker 1: end as well, where they'll be in a close game

1855
01:33:58,680 --> 01:34:00,880
Speaker 1: and they'll need their team to make a big playing offense,

1856
01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:02,880
Speaker 1: and it's just not gonna be there for him. It

1857
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:05,880
Speaker 1: felt hopeless in those last two possessions because Hodges just

1858
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:08,439
Speaker 1: quite frankly, seemed a little in overhead. Well. I think

1859
01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:11,439
Speaker 1: that even the Steelers would acknowledge that Duck Hodges ceiling

1860
01:34:11,479 --> 01:34:13,960
Speaker 1: in the future, is probably a backup quarterback. I mean,

1861
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 1: he just doesn't have the physical talent he saw in

1862
01:34:16,360 --> 01:34:18,719
Speaker 1: that last store that was intercepted. He can't throw against

1863
01:34:18,800 --> 01:34:21,519
Speaker 1: the grain moving to his left and still have enough

1864
01:34:21,640 --> 01:34:23,320
Speaker 1: arm strength to get the ball in a position whereas

1865
01:34:23,360 --> 01:34:25,360
Speaker 1: receiver can make a play on it and it sets

1866
01:34:25,479 --> 01:34:31,479
Speaker 1: up on Saturday night Saturday afternoon rather Bills Patriots quite

1867
01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:33,720
Speaker 1: a triple header on NFL Network, not just being a

1868
01:34:33,800 --> 01:34:36,559
Speaker 1: company man. I can't they lucked out. They really did.

1869
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:39,760
Speaker 1: Bucks Texans early is a meaningful game versus a hot,

1870
01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:42,280
Speaker 1: hot team versus Texans. Then you've got the Bills Patriots

1871
01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:44,920
Speaker 1: in the afternoon, you have the Rams forty, which matters

1872
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:48,400
Speaker 1: at night, but the Bills, they've really lucked out. Those

1873
01:34:48,439 --> 01:34:50,960
Speaker 1: are three of the best games of the week. And

1874
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:54,920
Speaker 1: the Pats game is so interesting because this Patriots offense

1875
01:34:54,960 --> 01:34:57,160
Speaker 1: against the Bills. We will get into it during the week.

1876
01:34:57,360 --> 01:35:01,240
Speaker 1: I just wanted to point out one tiebreaker um oddity though,

1877
01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:03,640
Speaker 1: which takes not not a lot of juice, but it

1878
01:35:03,720 --> 01:35:07,640
Speaker 1: does change it is that calculated time the Patriots are

1879
01:35:07,680 --> 01:35:09,840
Speaker 1: gonna win the a f C East if they beat

1880
01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:14,040
Speaker 1: the Dolphins in week seventeen, no matter what happens next

1881
01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:16,320
Speaker 1: week against the Bills, because why does it always work

1882
01:35:16,360 --> 01:35:19,559
Speaker 1: out this common opponents tiebreak? So the Bills could win

1883
01:35:19,680 --> 01:35:21,680
Speaker 1: that game and still not get it, but it's a

1884
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:23,640
Speaker 1: still a huge game. Saying the Bills could beat the

1885
01:35:23,680 --> 01:35:27,040
Speaker 1: Steelers in Pittsburgh. They could go to Foxborough and beat

1886
01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:29,880
Speaker 1: the Bills next week, Patriots the Patriots next week. They

1887
01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:33,760
Speaker 1: can Week seventeen, close out with another win against Go

1888
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:36,799
Speaker 1: twelve and four and not be the A c S champion.

1889
01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:39,639
Speaker 1: That is possible. And then I told Greg that's so frustrating.

1890
01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:41,480
Speaker 1: I feel like this always works out with the tiebreakers

1891
01:35:41,520 --> 01:35:43,760
Speaker 1: and the Patriots, and then Greg goes not in two

1892
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:47,280
Speaker 1: thousand and two, it didn't like years ago. Yeah I

1893
01:35:47,360 --> 01:35:51,360
Speaker 1: was in college, Greg, Yeah, forty in April. Greg, I'll

1894
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:53,720
Speaker 1: give you a lot. That's your example. I'll give you

1895
01:35:53,760 --> 01:35:55,920
Speaker 1: a lollipop if you can name the head coach in

1896
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:57,960
Speaker 1: the quarterback the last time the Bills hit a ten

1897
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:04,320
Speaker 1: win season. Uh Wade Phillips now and uh Frank Greig.

1898
01:36:04,520 --> 01:36:10,160
Speaker 1: Doug Flutty who is now fifty seven years old, was

1899
01:36:10,200 --> 01:36:12,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback the last time the Bills hit a ten

1900
01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:16,479
Speaker 1: win season. So congratulations to our buddy Zack behind the

1901
01:36:16,560 --> 01:36:22,800
Speaker 1: glass Zack Zach Sailey of course, and big say the

1902
01:36:22,840 --> 01:36:26,759
Speaker 1: biggest Bills fan we know, Patrick, member of the Shield

1903
01:36:26,920 --> 01:36:31,200
Speaker 1: Champions softball squad. Are good buddy, Colations. Congratulations to you guys,

1904
01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:33,920
Speaker 1: you're you're playing in the dance You're you're going dancing,

1905
01:36:33,960 --> 01:36:37,519
Speaker 1: and and Greg any other playoff tabulations before we sign

1906
01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:40,080
Speaker 1: off that people might want to know. As we take

1907
01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:41,720
Speaker 1: a look at the playoff picture, you can check it out,

1908
01:36:41,720 --> 01:36:44,280
Speaker 1: by the way, the NFL dot com slash playoff picture,

1909
01:36:44,320 --> 01:36:47,200
Speaker 1: which gives a nice snapshot of where we're at. Well,

1910
01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:49,240
Speaker 1: the Steelers can still get in with two more wins,

1911
01:36:49,320 --> 01:36:52,840
Speaker 1: but that loss certainly should give a little bounce to

1912
01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:57,799
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, helps their chances and uh, the Chiefs

1913
01:36:57,840 --> 01:36:59,920
Speaker 1: trying to get that by. Even if if the Bills

1914
01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:02,439
Speaker 1: did beat the Patriots, that would open up to buy

1915
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 1: which to me is absolutely vital for both of those teams,

1916
01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:08,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs and put at the bottom of the A f C.

1917
01:37:08,400 --> 01:37:11,479
Speaker 1: Now the Steelers are eight and six, They're at Jets

1918
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:13,360
Speaker 1: and then at Ravens. You gotta win that game against

1919
01:37:13,360 --> 01:37:15,760
Speaker 1: the Jets, take take any drama out of the proceedings.

1920
01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:18,720
Speaker 1: If they somehow lost next week and fall to eight

1921
01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:21,720
Speaker 1: and seven, that opens the door up, it does, uh

1922
01:37:21,920 --> 01:37:25,400
Speaker 1: for damn. Even the Browns are not eliminated, right if

1923
01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:28,160
Speaker 1: if they somehow crumble, But we're not gonna talk about that.

1924
01:37:28,680 --> 01:37:31,200
Speaker 1: We're getting too crazy with the calculator. The Bills Browns

1925
01:37:31,240 --> 01:37:34,120
Speaker 1: aren't eliminated. I think the Browns were eliminated tonight. Are

1926
01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:37,719
Speaker 1: they done? I think they were out with the Steelers loss. Yes, okay,

1927
01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:39,640
Speaker 1: well that's good. So you have the So it's the

1928
01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:43,040
Speaker 1: Steelers and the second place team in the a f

1929
01:37:43,120 --> 01:37:47,040
Speaker 1: C South in the wild card, the Bills claiming that

1930
01:37:47,120 --> 01:37:49,360
Speaker 1: it would be either the Bills or the Patriots most

1931
01:37:49,400 --> 01:37:51,720
Speaker 1: likely the Bills on the five seed, and then either

1932
01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:55,479
Speaker 1: Steelers or tighten Slash Texans in the six and then

1933
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:58,120
Speaker 1: the Browns are out barring a tie. So I knew

1934
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:00,720
Speaker 1: there was a confusion, but their sential. And then in

1935
01:38:00,760 --> 01:38:03,040
Speaker 1: the NFC we've got the Seahawks now as the number

1936
01:38:03,120 --> 01:38:06,519
Speaker 1: one seed. The Packers still locked in at number two.

1937
01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:10,880
Speaker 1: But the Vikings are the interesting team here. They are

1938
01:38:11,200 --> 01:38:14,680
Speaker 1: tenant four and they have the Packers up next on

1939
01:38:14,720 --> 01:38:17,479
Speaker 1: the schedule. They need to lose both games and the

1940
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:20,759
Speaker 1: Rams need to win both their games otherwise the Vikings

1941
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:23,759
Speaker 1: will make the playoffs, as will be the second place

1942
01:38:23,840 --> 01:38:26,759
Speaker 1: team in the NFC West, either forty or the Seahawks.

1943
01:38:26,920 --> 01:38:30,880
Speaker 1: I think the NFCS it's almost simple to explain, which

1944
01:38:30,960 --> 01:38:33,560
Speaker 1: is that the Cowboys Eagles for that one spot, and

1945
01:38:33,640 --> 01:38:36,360
Speaker 1: the other five seeds are all up for grabs. You

1946
01:38:36,439 --> 01:38:39,920
Speaker 1: know one through five is open, so yes, you can

1947
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:42,719
Speaker 1: figure out the different routes to it. But Seahawks, Packers,

1948
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:45,240
Speaker 1: Vikings forty nine or Saints. I know the Vikings haven't

1949
01:38:45,240 --> 01:38:48,360
Speaker 1: clinched yet, but they're almost definitely in those five seeds.

1950
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:50,160
Speaker 1: Could you shake them up and do it a lot

1951
01:38:50,200 --> 01:38:53,080
Speaker 1: of different ways? If I'm a Saints fan, I'm feeling

1952
01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:55,000
Speaker 1: a little better that maybe they can sneak into that

1953
01:38:55,120 --> 01:38:57,880
Speaker 1: by I'm gonna test your calculator right now, Greg, Can

1954
01:38:57,920 --> 01:39:01,719
Speaker 1: the Vikings are can things be true? Can the Vikings

1955
01:39:02,360 --> 01:39:07,320
Speaker 1: miss the playoffs entirely? Can they win the one seed? Well,

1956
01:39:07,360 --> 01:39:11,280
Speaker 1: they certainly can miss this. Can they get the one seed? Still?

1957
01:39:12,479 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 1: Can they finish twelve and four and get that one seed?

1958
01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 1: The calculators cramming, it's cranking. I don't have that. I

1959
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:20,720
Speaker 1: don't have that right now? Has the tiebreak in the

1960
01:39:20,880 --> 01:39:25,200
Speaker 1: scenarios between them? And like the seat tough questions? One

1961
01:39:25,439 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 1: was a tough one. I wanted to see how much

1962
01:39:27,240 --> 01:39:31,080
Speaker 1: of a handle you had? Not all softballs here. Gregg's

1963
01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 1: had just exploded. So now it's now it's a two

1964
01:39:33,320 --> 01:39:39,160
Speaker 1: hander in West. All right, there you go. It's gonna

1965
01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:41,040
Speaker 1: be fun. And we have two Sundays left in the

1966
01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:43,120
Speaker 1: regular season, and you know we'll be here and I'm

1967
01:39:43,160 --> 01:39:48,080
Speaker 1: looking forward to that triple header. I can sniff the playoffs.

1968
01:39:48,360 --> 01:39:50,960
Speaker 1: We're almost here. Keith and dev are coming into the

1969
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:53,040
Speaker 1: town on Wednesday, and you know Tito's is coming out

1970
01:39:53,080 --> 01:39:54,880
