3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: games right now. Seahawks driving against the Steelers, but it's

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,159
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh up by three. The Bengals have just put it

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: into the end zone, but they're gonna be without T

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: Higgins For a while, it was Joe Mixon getting in

7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,800
Speaker 2: for the score. And then the post Russell Wilson era

8
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 2: has apparently begun. In Denver, Chargers and Broncos playing late

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: in the first We are broadcasting live from the tierrack

Speaker 2: com the way tire buying should be. We are just

14
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: starting and I feel like I need to exhale for

15
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: what we've had. George Reister in this week of week

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: seventeen slate of games, there's no Monday Night football, so

17
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: we had ten early games. We've got three that I

18
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: just mentioned in this late window. A lot being decided,

19
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: but also a lot not being decided when it comes

20
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: to the AFC South, when it comes to the NFC South,

21
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: and speaking of the NFC South.

22
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 3: In about ten minutes or so, we're going to be

23
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: joined by.

24
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 2: Tom Rinaldi, who watched the Saints go to Tampa and

25
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: top the Buccaneers today. Buccaneers still controlling their own destiny

26
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 2: if you will to win the division as if they

27
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 2: beat Carolina next week, they will be NFC South champs.

28
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 2: But the Saints end up staying alive. But just a

29
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: lot going on today, and I guess, George, let's just

30
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 2: started on the top. Ravens dominate the Dolphins, clinch the

31
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 2: number one seed in the AFC. Niners had a bit

32
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: of a struggle early with the Commanders, but then turn

33
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 2: it out in the second half. They are the number

34
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 2: one seed in the National Football Conference.

35
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 4: Yep, we learned a lot today, Dan, We learned a

36
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 4: lot today, Buddy about And one of the first teams

37
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 4: that we learned something about was the was in that

38
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 4: Ravens Dolphins game. I learned what I already knew, which

39
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 4: was that the Dolphins, that the Ravens are for real,

40
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 4: for real, like they are not for play, and the like,

41
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: you better bring your right you better bring your big

42
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 4: boy pats, you better.

43
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 5: Bring your a game.

44
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 4: Actually, as a matter of fact, you better bring your

45
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 4: A plus game, sure, because that's what it's gonna take.

46
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 4: And I'm actually excited to see Lamar Jackson and company

47
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 4: have some success in the postseason because they haven't had

48
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 4: a lot of postseason success. Man, oh man, I mean

49
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 4: imagine seeing Ravens versus Oh Lord have mercy, Ravens Cowboys,

50
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 4: Ravens forty nine ers in in the Super Bowl, like

51
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 4: any one of those outcomes, Ravens Philly in the Super Bowl.

52
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: Lord have mercy, because I mean, aside from the Chiefs

53
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 4: getting hot or something like like that, I don't know

54
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 4: who can beat them in the AFC.

55
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 3: Yeah.

56
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: You know, we talked about Buffalo over the last couple

57
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: of weeks and you are not a believer and you're

58
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: saying that they are who they are and today showed

59
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 2: it like they they got gift after gift from the

60
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: New England Patriots and still only one that came by six. Yeah,

61
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 2: I I maybe I still I still think opponent wise,

62
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: and I know you may differ when when you're when

63
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: you have your picks, Like if you were to face

64
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 2: the Culture, you were to face the Texans, I think

65
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: that you'd rather face one of those teams than Buffalo.

66
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 2: But the fact is is, yeah, right now, I'm not

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 2: sure maybe the Browns would end up giving, you know,

68
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: the Ravens the most toughest test if.

69
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: They ended to know.

70
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 5: The Browns are a problem.

71
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 4: I mean, they are a and I forgot about them, Dan,

72
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 4: It's funny because I was thinking about them earlier.

73
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 5: And just the fact that.

74
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 4: Like the Lions, we could have a Lions Brown super Bowl.

75
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: I know, And as crazy as it sounds, it's not

76
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: as crazy as it sounds, truly, when you especially with

77
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: how Yes.

78
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 5: I love that.

79
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 4: As crazy as it sounds, it's not as crazy as.

80
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: It sound, just for for how they and what they've

81
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: gone through in Cleveland. I mean, Cleveland looks like a

82
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: well oiled machine. Detroit obviously should have won last night,

83
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: something that we'll talk to on a bigger scale talk

84
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: about throughout this show. But yeah, you're right, Like you

85
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: talk about separation, I don't think the I thought the

86
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 2: forty nine ers separated on themselves a few weeks ago,

87
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: but I feel that they've come back to the pack,

88
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: and even with the Eagles lost today to the Cardinals.

89
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: It's not that I believe in Philadelphia. I just don't

90
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: believe that San Francisco has pulled away as much as

91
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 2: you would have hoped. Christian McCaffrey got dinged up today.

92
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: Their defense has not been as dominant as we would

93
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 2: have thought. I thought that they really could have gotten

94
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: after Sam Howell today. They really did not do that.

95
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: They did force turnovers, but they I believe, just one

96
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: sack on the day for the forty nine ers defense.

97
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 2: So I feel that their defense has kind of come

98
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: back to the pack a little bit in making them

99
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 2: the not dominant team that I thought they were.

100
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: Honestly, isn't this the best part of the NFL, though, Dan,

101
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 4: is that we watch people overreact every single every single

102
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 4: you know, quarter of the season. Oh my gosh, I mean,

103
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: and I will admit I was one of those people

104
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 4: with the Cincinnati Bengals. I mean, granted, I still don't

105
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: think they're making the playoffs, but they have a legitimate

106
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 4: shot to make playoffs, sure, And I was like, dude,

107
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 4: they are toast in the preseason because of you know,

108
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 4: because of Joe Burrow's calf at that point in time.

109
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 4: But it ended up being his like it ended up

110
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 4: being his wrist or his hand or whatever the injury

111
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 4: turned out to be, but then they've gotten competent play

112
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 4: out of Jake Browning, and so I said that they

113
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 4: were done, and then people overreacting, oh my god, the

114
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 4: the Eagles will to ever lose.

115
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 5: And the whole time, if you were watching, you.

116
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 4: Were like, this team doesn't look good, Like offensively, they

117
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 4: don't look good and the defense is not just stone

118
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 4: and people like you thought that they would. And then

119
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 4: you had the forty nine ers go through a three

120
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 4: game loser streak after everybody was anointing them, and then

121
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 4: they came back and everybody see, look, it's a just

122
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 4: hand them the trophy, just hand them the trophy. And

123
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 4: now they get knocked around by the Ravens. And now

124
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 4: everybody's like, all the Ravens can't be beat Well, apparently

125
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: they can. They got three losses.

126
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 3: You are right.

127
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 2: When you look back at their losses, you're like, huh,

128
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: maybe this really could have been a special season. I

129
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: will say that the Bengals, by the way, just forced

130
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: the Patrick Mahomes turnover, so they were up ten to

131
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: seven on the Joe Mixon touchdown, and then they got

132
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 2: the football immediately back a stripsack fumble of Patrick Mahomes

133
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 2: recovered by Trey Hendrickson. It's gonna be a third and two,

134
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,279
Speaker 2: we think, because now the Chiefs and Bengals are getting

135
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: into it. Some fisticuffs, if you will. But the Bengals

136
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: will have the football a third down right now and

137
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: two inside the red zone and be at the seventeen

138
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 2: yard line of Kansas City. But there are flags thrown.

139
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase may may have done something on sportsmanlike he

140
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: had to be held back. The other Chiefs players were

141
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: getting into it. Lugerius Snead, who's playing today, part of

142
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: this fracas.

143
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 5: Yes, that's all I'm like, just don't eject anybody.

144
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 3: That's all. That's all I want.

145
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: And again t Higgins right now not on the field

146
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: for Cincinnati, so something to monitor. The Seahawks are in

147
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: the end zone. Jackson Smith and Jigba caught a twelve

148
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: yard touchdown pass from Gino Smith. Extra point is good. Yeah,

149
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 2: it was crossers in the back of the end zone

150
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 2: and JSN comes down with it.

151
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 3: Extra point was good.

152
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 2: So the Seahawks are up fourteen to ten on the

153
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 2: Steelers five minutes under five minutes to go until halftime

154
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 2: and evenly matched showdown in a showdown of teams that

155
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 2: are hoping to make the postseason. Mason Rudolph against Gino Smith.

156
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: The personal foul going up against the Chiefs Bengals is

157
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 2: I believe we of offsetting personal follows. The question is

158
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 2: is and that no one threw a punch, so no

159
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: one's ejected, so we're good there, George.

160
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 4: I was speaking of throwing punches, Dude, I just saw

161
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 4: the video because I didn't even realize that there's a

162
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 4: video of because people talk about preferential treatment that like

163
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan got because you brought up throwing punches. Have

164
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 4: you ever seen the video where the Bulls were playing

165
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 4: the Pacers and and they get into it. Michael Jordan

166
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: punched Reggie Miller and Reggie Miller got kicked out of it.

167
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 3: It sounds familiar. I can't remember, but it.

168
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 4: Was like the rest were like, why are you touching

169
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 4: Michael with your face?

170
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 5: Look at what you made him do? Look at what

171
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 5: you made him do?

172
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: Get out o.

173
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: The Bengels on their their third down play have been

174
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: able to get a first down as Jake Browning improvises

175
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: and is able to hit Tanner Hut for a short game,

176
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 2: but they're not going to be inside the ten. And

177
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,319
Speaker 2: this is a Kansas City team again that simplifying everything

178
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: this week, no.

179
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 5: More, no more?

180
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: Uh, you know, three sixties in the backfield, hand offs

181
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 2: to Patrick Mahomes, going to simplify things. But now they

182
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 2: find themselves against the rope, you know, up against the rope, Cincinnati.

183
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 4: Like, that's literally not their problem. It's not all the

184
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 4: the worthly bird fancy stuff. It's just the simple moving

185
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: of the ball on on like regular downs, people getting

186
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:39,319
Speaker 4: open and truthfully, Patrick Mahome, like the wide receiver play

187
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 4: has been so bad that Patrick Mahomes has started to

188
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 4: play just I. But that's the like, that's the crazy

189
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 4: part about it is that is that the lack of

190
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 4: play from everybody else, from the other positions, what from

191
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 4: from the whiteouts, has caused Patrick Mahomes to like try

192
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 4: to make plays that he aren't there or that he

193
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 4: shouldn't be trying to make. He looks like the most

194
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 4: frustrated I've ever seen him.

195
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: That was true on the pick six that they had

196
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: against the Raiders on Christmas Day. That was not true

197
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: on the rpo with the snap going to Isaiah Pacheco

198
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: or whatever, they were trying to run. That was them

199
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,439
Speaker 2: getting too cute, honestly, George, and the Bengals right now

200
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: of gaining Kansas City two to one in today's game.

201
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:33,079
Speaker 2: That the spinning stuff, the rotating you know, everybody's shifting

202
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: and doing what they do. You could do that when

203
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 2: you're fourteen and three or thirteen and four, or you're

204
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl and stuff like that. This stuff

205
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: looks a little ridiculous when you're nine to six and

206
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: battling for your playoff lives.

207
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 6: Now, well, yeah, I think.

208
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 4: You have to stay with who you are. I mean,

209
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 4: and when you look at them, Dan, they are one, two, three, four, five, six,

210
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 4: seven eight, they're ninth in the league. Think about this,

211
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 4: they are ninth in the league in yards per game,

212
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 4: ninth in the league. But then in points per game,

213
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 4: they're in the middle of the pack. They're averaging twenty

214
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 4: two points per game. They're averaging the same amount as

215
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 4: Green Bay and basically the Saints and the Jaguars.

216
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: You know what that tells me on the surface, George,

217
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: it tells me that Travis Kelcey isn't as effective.

218
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 4: No, dude, he's on my fantasy team I would have

219
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 4: rather had, Like there are probably a bunch of other

220
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 4: tight ends that would have serviced me better because at

221
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 4: least they've had like a couple of big.

222
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 5: Games in the process.

223
00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely, But he's had one big game all year

224
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 4: and I can't even I literally can't even remember the

225
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 4: last time he scored a touchdown.

226
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 2: It's it is. It has been a drop off in

227
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: a variety of ways. I mean, because five touchdowns all year. Damn,

228
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 2: he is gonna pass a thousand yards this year. But

229
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: that goes to show.

230
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 4: How good the dude is, is that he's gonna pass

231
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 4: one thousand yards two days, so it'll be in sixteen games.

232
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 4: And this feels like a mediocre season because he hasn't

233
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 4: scored a touchdown since November twentieth.

234
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: But isn't the you know, the thousand yard mark. And

235
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: I guess with tight ends it's a different story than

236
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: wide receivers. But with Travis Kelcey and who he is

237
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: and what he's done, I feel like that that's a

238
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 2: that's a lower bar to hit, Like we know like

239
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: how effective he's been, whether it be the safety blanket

240
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: or the difference maker. It just doesn't seem that he

241
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 2: has been either this season for the Kansas City.

242
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 4: No, No, And truthfully, he hasn't even been getting looks

243
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 4: in those situation. In those situations, now you you are right, Dan,

244
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 4: because in seventeen games last year he finished with thirteen

245
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 4: hundred yards and twelve touchdowns. He hasn't had a five

246
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 4: touchdown season since twenty nineteen. And yeah, I mean the

247
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 4: But the crazy part is is that so his targets

248
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 4: are gonna well, like everything is going to kind of

249
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 4: be on par, which is which is wild. He's gonna

250
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 4: go over a thousand yards, his touchdowns are down, but

251
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 4: everything is kind of on par. He'll finish with let's say,

252
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 4: eleven yards, which is exactly the same thing that he

253
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 4: did in twenty twenty one, except for his touchdowns were different.

254
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 5: That was the only difference.

255
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 2: It is a game in Kansas City where the Bengals

256
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 2: have got it first and goal at the one yard

257
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 2: line after a pass interference call on third and goal

258
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 2: sets them up first and goal at the one. Their

259
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 2: first attempt, Joe Mixon didn't get into the end zone.

260
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: They probably prefer that. They'll they'll probably want to take

261
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 2: two or three cracks out of it and then get

262
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: it in on the third or fourth time. But the

263
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 2: Bengals again knocking on the door thirty five and counting

264
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: in the first half where Cincinnati has barely touched the football.

265
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: Jake Browning actually stumbling as he came out of the

266
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: from under center, tripping and then just throwing an incomplete

267
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 2: pass as he got his footing. So a third and

268
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 2: goal for the Bengals, up ten to seven in Kansas City.

269
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 3: Again.

270
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 2: It's been a crazy week seventeen here, there and everywhere,

271
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: including in Tampa. George Reister, let's focus on the Saints

272
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 2: and Buccaneers.

273
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 7: Now.

274
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 1: It's time for the NFL on Fox Focus, and he.

275
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 2: Was there for Fox watching the Saints keep their playoff

276
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: hopes alive with a win against the Buccaneers today in

277
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 2: the NFC South, they still up for grabs. Tom Ornaldi

278
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: joins the program. Tom, Happy New Year for you. Let's

279
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 2: just get right into it, because I know you're traveling.

280
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna start with Derek Carr because there was a

281
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: point in the season where we don't know if Derek Carr,

282
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: healthy or not, was truly going to be able to

283
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: help the New Orleans Saints. Today, another solid day, another

284
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 2: day of passer rating over one hundred. What has been

285
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 2: the difference with is Derek Carr and helping the Saints

286
00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: stay alive in this playoff picture.

287
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 8: Well, happy New Year to you, guys. This is what

288
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 8: everybody envisioned, wasn't it when they got Derek Carr, that

289
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 8: the run game would have some effect to open up

290
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 8: the passing game. He would be a Pro Bowl quarterback

291
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 8: who would managed the game, could take some tough plays

292
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 8: downfield and be efficient. And that's exactly what he was

293
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 8: today against a Bucks defense which got dominated guys up front.

294
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 8: I mean, these were long drives. There weren't a lot

295
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 8: of explosives. The touchdown to Taysom Hill as an exception.

296
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 8: But the Bucks hurt themselves certainly. But the Saints and

297
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 8: the performance by Car, I think leads a lot of

298
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 8: hope and does it build some momentum. Be aware of

299
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 8: the desperate team, guys. The SEMHO knows the season is

300
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 8: over with a loss. We saw that manifest with the Saints.

301
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 8: A great win for that.

302
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 4: What has been the issue with the Saints all season

303
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 4: because they have been wildly inconsistent, and.

304
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 8: You know, talking to Dennis Allen, he had said fluntly,

305
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 8: we just haven't put three phases together in a game

306
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 8: all year, and here they are this late in the season,

307
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 8: and finally they were able to do it. He said

308
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 8: that those exact words to me walking off the field,

309
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 8: three phases finally played complimentary football. I think part of

310
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 8: that inconsistency guys was car having a learned the skilled

311
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 8: position guys himself. We all saw what happened with a

312
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 8: Lave in an Arsenally televised game earlier, when he berated

313
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 8: him and shouted him. He had to learn how to

314
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 8: communicate with these guys. By his own admission, these guys

315
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 8: who are younger than he is, learn a new system

316
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 8: all those things. I think there have been some bumps

317
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 8: along the way, but a victory like this against a

318
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 8: quality opponent, I think that is the blueprint that the

319
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 8: Saints had in mind when they went out and they

320
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 8: signed them to one hundred and fifty million dollars deal.

321
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: Tom Rinaldi joining us here on Fox Sports Radio as

322
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: these Saints went to Tampa, knocked off the Buccaneers twenty

323
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: three to thirteen, and the logjam continues in the Division

324
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 2: eight and eight teams, both of them and the Falcons

325
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 2: right behind. Sitting there at seven to nine, you talked

326
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 2: about how the Saints kind of dominated up front. How

327
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 2: much did that bother Baker Mayfield. It was picked off

328
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: twice today.

329
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 8: I think it bothered him a lot. But it was also, guys,

330
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 8: just sort of one of those days where nothing worked

331
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 8: for the Bucks. Very late in the game. Don't if

332
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 8: you had a chance to see it. Sixty plus yard

333
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 8: completion first play of the drive, exactly what they needed,

334
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 8: took the top off the defense, got behind the defense.

335
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 8: A great catch then results in a fumble as the

336
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 8: receiver goes to the ground because he's not contacted. There

337
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 8: were a series of quirky plays like that again, another

338
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 8: spot with the Mario Davis ultimately is able to pick

339
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 8: up a fumble from Rashaan White, just as the Buccaneers

340
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 8: are finally finding some momentum and driving. The Bucks are

341
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 8: their own worst enemy today. They remember, guys, they had

342
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 8: dominated turnover margin not only this season, but in particular recently,

343
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 8: and that came back to bite them today as much

344
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 8: as being dominated upfront by a Saints defense which showed

345
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 8: a lot of pride today.

346
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 4: Tom, when you watch this team and you're watching Baker Mayfield,

347
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 4: are you is he their franchise guy or is he

348
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 4: a stop gap from a move that they maybe making

349
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 4: this offseason.

350
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 8: I think that's the ultimate question, isn't it. And listen, guys,

351
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 8: we don't look at quarterbacks in a vacuum. We judge

352
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 8: their performance connected to the price tag that delivers it.

353
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 8: So Baker Mayfield has been through so much the four

354
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 8: teams in the last two seedsons, who's played so well

355
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 8: in the last four games, coming into this game when

356
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 8: he struggled, has done really a remarkable job turning it around.

357
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 8: But a game like this in a week to week league,

358
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 8: that's the kind of game which makes somebody have questions.

359
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 8: Leading with Baker himself. And I don't know if you

360
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 8: saw the blow that he took and Tyron Matthew on

361
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 8: what ultimately turned out to be a two point conversion

362
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 8: that didn't count, But you got to keep an eye

363
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 8: on him now going into next week. He is as

364
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 8: tough as it comes, guys. But he took a big,

365
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 8: big hit for Matthew on that two point conversion, really

366
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 8: seemed to have hurt his left side. That's going to

367
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 8: bear watching here going in the next week.

368
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, they win there and the Buccaneers are they got Carolina.

369
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 2: We think that's gonna happen. But the NFL, you never know,

370
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:33,239
Speaker 2: Tom I got one.

371
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 8: You never know.

372
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 2: You know you don't You tell that to the Eagles

373
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: and Cardinals today.

374
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 3: Crazy Listen.

375
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 8: If the goal is and we roll, all right, guys,

376
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 8: I know you do your across all these games, you

377
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 8: do an amazing job. But if the if the fl's

378
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 8: unspoken goal is everybody in contention in the final week

379
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 8: of the season, everybody finishing at eight to eight, et cetera. Wow,

380
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 8: it's just astounding to see, even when it's not a

381
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 8: parody matchup. How of who saw even though this was

382
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 8: closer to a parody matchup. I think very many people

383
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 8: saw the Saints dominating this game the way they did,

384
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 8: particularly a fun and they were challenged to do that

385
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 8: by Dennis Allen, by de Mario Davis, and they answered

386
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,119
Speaker 8: that challenge. And that's what makes us say a loss

387
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,439
Speaker 8: like this for the Bucks, as impressive as they've been

388
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 8: on that four game win streak, it's not out of

389
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 8: the realm. Carolina got overwhelmed. They're obviously in a rebuild.

390
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 8: There's so many issues there. But is it unthinkable, No,

391
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 8: it's not.

392
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 9: Not.

393
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 8: In the NFL.

394
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 4: Well, FAL final for me, Tom, when you look at

395
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 4: this Saints kind of roster. Alvin Kamara has been there

396
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:54,120
Speaker 4: a while. Mike can't guard Mike, he hasn't can't get

397
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 4: on the field. Mike hasn't been on very much. Taysom

398
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 4: heel like, they've had guys that have been there a while.

399
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 4: Is it time for them to kind of not re

400
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 4: rebuild but reset.

401
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 8: They have an aging roster, There's no question about it.

402
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 8: They had real cap challenges. They found a way to

403
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 8: work that out and get what they thought was going

404
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 8: to be their franchise quarterback. We'll see how ultimately the

405
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 8: same are able to finish, and obviously they need help

406
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 8: that the wildcard is almost impossible. There's there's a path there,

407
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 8: but it's winning division, which is more likely, even as

408
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 8: unlikely as that may be. But look at a contrast

409
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 8: guys in these two teams and how they went about

410
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 8: the quote unquote rebuild. One decides to go all in

411
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 8: one hundred and fifty million dollar contract as you mentioned

412
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 8: for Derek Carr. The other gets Baker Mayfield on the

413
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 8: chief for four million dollars. I mean, think about the

414
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 8: market difference in right as you look at the end,

415
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 8: as you look at how their performances are judged. We

416
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 8: see quarterbacks through the lens of what they're paid unless

417
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 8: you're absolutely elite and totally worth it.

418
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 3: He's Tom Ronald.

419
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 2: He saw the Saints win in Tampa today twenty three

420
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: to thirteen to keep that NFC South alive and well

421
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 2: heading into Week eighteen. Save travels, Tom again, Happy New Year,

422
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 2: Thanks so much, man, appreciate it.

423
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 8: Happy New Year too, you guys.

424
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 2: Jake Browning got into the end zone for the Bengals,

425
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: extending their lead over the Chiefs to ten Kansas City

426
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 2: as the football facing a fourth and six in Bengals territory,

427
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 2: they brought on Harrison Butker for a field goal attempt

428
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 2: Naji Harrison nine yard touchdown run for the Steelers. They've

429
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 2: retaken the lead in Seattle against the Seahawks seventeen to fourteen.

430
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 2: Seahawks have the football a minute to go until halftime,

431

456
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 11: spins backward and gets into the end zone.

467
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 2: he changed from what's happened in Kansas City.

468
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 3: You knows he those Chiefs and Bengals a little bit.

469
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 12: But I'm just glad there's three games going on in

470
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:34,879
Speaker 12: not ten, because like in the morning, it was.

471
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 3: A bit rough to keep track. Giving me both.

472
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 12: Right, I was like, I don't even know if I'm

473
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 12: saying this right.

474
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 3: Everything kept happening.

475
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 12: It's been a close one between the Bengals and the Chiefs.

476
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 12: Two minutes to go in the first half, Cincinnati is

477

484
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,080

485
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,440

487
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 12: against the Chargers. About four minutes to go in the

488
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:15,640
Speaker 12: first half.

489
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: The Steelers and the Seahawks.

490
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 12: Are at halftime. This one's also been back and forth

491
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 12: and started with Jayalen Warren an eighteen yard rushing touchdown

492
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 12: for the Steelers and Kenneth Walker with the rushing touchdown

493
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,040

494
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 12: Jackson Smith and jig but gave the lead to the Seahawks.

495
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 12: Benajee Harris with a nine yard rushing touchdown pick the

496
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 12: Steelers back on top. So it's seventeen fourteen at halftime.

497
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 12: But yes, ten games this morning to wrap up. Today

498
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 12: will wrap up Week seventeen of the NFL. The forty

499
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 12: nine Ers defeated the Commanders twenty seven to ten, so

500
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 12: they've clinched the number one seed in the NFC. The

501
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 12: Ravens dominated the Dolphins fifty six to nineteen. They clinched

502
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 12: the number one seed in the AFC for the second

503
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 12: time in team history. Lamar Jackson eighteen of twenty one,

504
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 12: three hundred and twenty one yards and five touchdowns, and

505
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,160
Speaker 12: bad news for Miami because their pass rusher Bradley Chubb

506
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 12: was carted to the locker room with a non contact injury.

507
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 12: One of those that just did not look good to

508
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 12: at Togo Baylo also hurt his shoulder in the game,

509
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 12: but the latest says that he says he's just sore

510
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 12: and that he's fine. The Bills defeated the Patriots twenty

511
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 12: seven to twenty one. Josh Allen didn't have any touchdowns

512
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 12: in the air, but he did have two rushing touchdowns.

513
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 12: So next week the Bills and the Dolphins are going

514
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 12: to face off to see who wins.

515
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 3: The AFC East.

516
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 12: The Bears with the thirty seven to seventeen victory over

517
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 12: the Falcons, DJ Moore nine catches, one hundred and fifty

518
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 12: nine yards and a touchdown. The Rams edged the Giants

519
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 12: twenty six to twenty five. Kyron Williams three rushing touchdowns

520
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 12: for LA. The Cardinals erased a fifteen point deficit and

521
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 12: beat the Eagles thirty five to thirty one. James Connor

522
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 12: with the two yard rushing touchdown they gave them the

523
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 12: lead with thirty seconds left, and then their defense sealed

524
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 12: the deal with an interception against Jalen Hurts at the end.

525
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 12: In an NFC South Division matchup, the Saints top the

526
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 12: Buccaneers twenty three to thirteen. Alvin Kamara did leave the

527
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 12: game with a high ankle scran New Orleans. Baker Mayfield

528
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 12: still through for three hundred and nine yards and two touchdowns.

529
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 12: He also had one interception in the loss. The Jaguars

530
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 12: crushed the Panthers twenty six to zero, The Texans crews

531
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 12: passed the Times twenty six to three, and the colt

532
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 12: held on to beat the Raiders twenty three to twenty.

533
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 12: So the AC South, the Jags, the Colts, and the

534
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 12: Texans are all nine and seven. Hell yeah, one week

535
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 12: to go.

536
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 3: Oh man, this is.

537
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 5: What the NFL wanted though.

538
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, then they like it's funny how numbers work because

539
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 4: for some reason, adding the seventeenth game. Well, is it

540
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,399
Speaker 4: the adding the seventeenth game or taking away the second

541
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 4: by which has caused more drama, because both of them

542
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 4: I believe have actually like caused more not not parody.

543
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 4: But you have more teams in it as the as

544
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 4: the season goes on, God leave, what does Patrick Mahomes

545
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 4: have to do hand the battle?

546
00:27:58,720 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 11: I think?

547
00:27:59,119 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 7: So we go.

548
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, when George is talking and I wanted to let

549
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 2: him finish, the chief said a third and three, and

550
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 2: they threw it to Marquez Valdez scantling underneath, and want to.

551
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 5: Hand it to him.

552
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 4: That's the Patrick Mahomes is literally gonna have to walk

553
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 4: the walk to walk the ball to people and just

554
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 4: put it in there in their hands for them to

555
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:20,720
Speaker 4: catch it.

556
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 2: Well, Harrison, Butcker kicks a field goal, so it's good.

557
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 2: So it's seventeen to thirty. Would have had to just

558
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 2: score touchdown. Yeah, they just wonder why. I at what

559
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 2: point are we all right? You're not playing anymore?

560
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:34,120
Speaker 13: Right?

561
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 3: I mean, if you can't catch.

562
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 5: Them, you can't bench them all.

563
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,479
Speaker 2: But if there is if there is one that is

564
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 2: standing out more than others, it is.

565
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 5: I would throw the ball to nobody.

566
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 4: But Travis Kelce Gray occasionally, and Rashi Rice because if

567
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 4: at least with Rashi Rice, you're like he could be

568
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 4: the future. Let's just feed them like I'm I am

569
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 4: al Rashi Rice hoping he develops, because at this point

570
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 4: in time, I don't trust anybody, and I definitely don't

571
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 4: trust a dude in number twenty four running and calling

572
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 4: himself a wide receiver.

573
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, just it was fourth and three.

574
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 2: They were put back a little on a procedure penalty

575
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: that at a first and fifteen. But you battle back,

576
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 2: you get close, you're down, you know, you get to

577
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 2: the third and three and.

578
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 3: Just can't cash in.

579
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 5: Dan, I got a question for you, Yes, thanks mons.

580
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 4: Who do you trust less a wide receiver wearing number

581
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 4: twenty four or quarterback wearing number thirty three?

582
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 2: Oh oh jeezy. Friday wasn't great, But a lot of

583
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 2: people were taking that more seriously than I was. That

584
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: was not I mean, there may be bigger issues, but yeah,

585
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 2: not about going about.

586
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 4: Thirty three Ohio State where Devin Brown came out in

587
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 4: number thirty three. He didn't we're thirty three the whole

588
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 4: season like he did a season he didn't.

589
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 3: Yeah he did. Yeah, he was what are we doing here?

590
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 2: I don't know, and other like I think Patrick Mahomes

591
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,560
Speaker 2: has complained about it in the NFL where he doesn't

592
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: like having the different numbers because you could identify who

593
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 2: is what a little bit easier when you had the

594
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 2: number system that you had. Yeah, completely weird. It's awful

595
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:25,680
Speaker 2: to have a thirty three. I mean quarterbacks, even even

596
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: a nineteen or an eighteen at times can look a

597
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 2: little odd at quarterback, like you have to be Johnny

598
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: and IIIs or Peyton Manning to really pull that sort

599
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 2: of high high teen.

600
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 5: Any anything under twenty is acceptable.

601
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 4: It's almost like when who was Michigan's quarterback?

602
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 5: The black dude? Who who came out in some weird number?

603
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 14: Oh?

604
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 3: That Denard Robinson or is it Devin Gardner?

605
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 5: Yes, it was Gardner?

606
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 4: What what what number did?

607
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 3: Yeah?

608
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 2: That was yeah, and that was because it was was

609
00:30:58,880 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 2: it a number of the eighties?

610
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 3: Was at it because it was number?

611
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 5: But it was to honor some somebody a player?

612
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tom Harmon, I think it could have been.

613
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, my yeah, it was number ninety eight, That's

614
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 2: what it was. There it was, but yeah, I know

615
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: it's totally weird to wear number thirty three.

616
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 4: Oh, and there's a high school player now his brother plays.

617
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 4: His brother, Tiger Bachmeyer plays. I think he plays at Stanford.

618
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 4: But his name is Bear Bachmeyer, and he wears number

619
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 4: forty seven, and he's a highly ranked quarterback. So I

620
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 4: wonder if he'll go to college and try to wear

621
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 4: number forty seven.

622
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 3: It's that's gonna be.

623
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to be the get off my lawn old

624
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 2: guy because it is just, it is so weird to see.

625
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: It took me a while even for the teams, for

626
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 2: the wide receivers in the National Football League, when we

627
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 2: would see guys being able to wear eleven or or ten,

628
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: and now they obviously can wear single digits. But it

629
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 2: took me a while when that change happened because we

630
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: were so accustomed to eighty through eighty nine and that

631
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 2: being it. But my, how times have changed. He's George Reister.

632
00:31:59,520 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 3: I'm Dan.

633

638
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 2: He did a majority of the work. So it's Jared

639
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 2: Stendham is not lighting it up for the Broncos today.

640
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 3: That is that is no, it is not.

641
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 5: The furthest thing from the case.

642
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 4: But people can see look at this offense, look at

643
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 4: them working, dude. I believe that that this was some

644
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 4: saboteur work from Sean Payton because if you look at

645
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 4: the plate calling, oh they were calling. They called more

646
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 4: screens than I've ever seen, like aside from the Ben

647
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 4: Rothlisberger year, his last year when he couldn't throw the

648
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 4: ball thirty yards down the field, that's how many screens

649
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 4: that they were calling in Denver, like they were just

650
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 4: trying to keep Russ upright so he didn't get hurt.

651
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 2: Well, Will Watson has just kicked a field goal. So

652
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 2: the Broncos lead by ten, thirteen to three, a minute

653
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 2: fifty three to go until halftime. I'm on Charger, Seahawks

654
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 2: and Steelers about to get underway. And as we told you,

655
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:20,000
Speaker 2: the Chiefs within four of Cincinnati nearing the end of

656
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 2: the first half. In that one, he's George Reister, I'm

657
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 2: Dan Bierriolive from the tyrerex dot com studios. We'll talk

661
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions, but as a whole, as it continues

662
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,960
Speaker 2: to be a conversation. Plus, coming up next, we'll have

Speaker 2: He's driving in Seattle, one of three games going on

672
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: right now, one of which is actually at the half.

673
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 3: That's the Chiefs and Bengals. Welcome in. It's Fox Sports

674
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 3: Red Zone Radio.

675
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,320
Speaker 2: He's George Reister the NFL at that time, Dan Beyer,

676
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 2: and it's Kansas City trailing the Bengals seventeen to thirteen

677
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:14,439
Speaker 2: in that game.

678
00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:15,240
Speaker 3: That's at the half.

679
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 2: We told you the Broncos were up ten on the Chargers.

680
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 2: Chargers do have the football. They are in Denver territory,

681
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,280
Speaker 2: but at the forty five yard line with a minute

682
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 2: to go and the Seahawks and Steelers just underway in

683
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 2: the second half.

684
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 3: The Seahawks have the football.

685
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker just busted off a big run, but it

686
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 2: looks like DK metcalf is going to be called for

687
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 2: a hold, so that will stemy Seattle's push at least

688
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 2: at that point. But still in Pittsburgh territory in a

689
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 2: game that Seattle is right now leading or trailing seventeen

690
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,480
Speaker 2: to fourteen. So a battle of eight and seven teams

691
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 2: trying to stake their claim in the playoff picture, as

692
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 2: there was so much at stake in fact right now

693
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 2: as we sit with just one game tonight in a

694
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 2: full week eighteen to go, so we've got sixteen games

695
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 2: next week, George, We've got one game tonight till that's

696
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 2: seventeen and then three going on right now.

697
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 3: That's twenty games.

698
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 2: Basically to be decided in the NFL regular season, and

699
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 2: the AFC right now has only five teams eliminated from

700
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 2: playoff contention. Now the Ravens Dolphins and Brons have all

701
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 2: punched their tickets. But you've got the Chiefs, Jaguars, Bills, Colts,

702
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 2: Texan Steelers, Bengals, and yes, the Denver Broncos do have hope.

703
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 2: It may not be a lot of hope, but they

704
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 2: do have hope for a bitch a quarterback.

705
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 9: Dan.

706
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,560
Speaker 2: It's a good question, George, one that Sean Payton said

707
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,280
Speaker 2: had nothing to do with finances. I didn't have anything

708
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:46,280
Speaker 2: to do with finances.

709
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 3: I know, I know. And here's here's the deal.

710
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be completely honest with you, a little behind

711
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 2: the curtain thing. This is kind of a short segment

712
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 2: for us, so we got fantasy numb us to do.

713
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 2: We're going to get into it after the top of

714
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 2: the hour. Was us a little bit more space, a

715
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 2: little bit more to you know, to dive in. Yeah,

716
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 2: but we do want to give you the fantasy numbers

717
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 2: because we know it's championship week. In fact, George, are

718
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 2: you in any championship games this weekend?

719
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:22,240
Speaker 4: No, I'm in the third place, dude, I put happens.

720
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:26,879
Speaker 4: So last week I played case Keenum instead of when

721
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 4: Stroud was out because I play in a super flex

722
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 4: lead and so Stroud was out. He was hurt, and

723
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 4: my options were on my team because I picked up

724
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:39,800
Speaker 4: because the guy I was playing he was having quarterback

725
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 4: issues too, So I picked up Eastan Stick, I had

726
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 4: Bailey Zappi and I had case Keenum and or I

727
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,240
Speaker 4: could have played Derrick Henry and I didn't play Derrick

728
00:36:53,280 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 4: Henry in my Essentilly second quarterback spots.

729
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,720
Speaker 2: All right, Ryan Berschinger is here with your fantasy hits

730
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 2: and misses.

731
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 3: Sorry, we set you up, George. We completely set you. Oh. Oh,

732
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 3: I know you.

733
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:14,439
Speaker 4: That was like the the WWE, the Rock.

734
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,120
Speaker 5: What do you think about it? It doesn't matter what.

735
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 1: That was good.

736
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 5: That was quality. I appreciate.

737
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 3: I think that was Ryan music.

738
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: Oh crap, Oh my gosh.

739
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 3: Numbers, Oh beautiful. Well, let's get to the hits and missus.

740
00:37:34,239 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 3: We have some big names here, big names and hits

741
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 3: and big names and missus.

742
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 14: So your top scoring quarterback on the day is Lamar

743
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 14: Jackson eighteen of twenty one passing for three hundred and

744
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 14: twenty one yards and five touchdowns through the air. Also

745
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 14: had thirty five rushing yards. For good measure, Kyron Williams,

746
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:52,399
Speaker 14: your top scoring running back on the day, I will

747
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 14: be sending him flowers in the off season because of

748
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,479
Speaker 14: the season. He has had twenty rushes for eighty seven

749
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 14: yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Also two catches

750
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 14: for fourteen yards through the air. Your top scoring receiver

751
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 14: on the day, well, of course, Seedy Lamb's receiver one

752
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 14: for the week still, but Davonte Adams thirteen catches on

753
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 14: twenty one targets for DeVante Adams one hundred and twenty

754
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 14: six yards and two touchdowns. And your top scoring tight

755
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 14: end on the day is Isaiah Likely? Two catches, but

756
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 14: they were both touchdowns. Forty two yards two touchdowns for

757
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,800
Speaker 14: Isaiah Likely. Yeah, let's get into these misses because we

758
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 14: got some big names here. There was once a time

759
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 14: where Derrick Henry playing the Texans was a blessing to

760
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 14: fantasy owners to be easy. Two hundred yards and two

761
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 14: touchdowns on the ground. No, not today, not anymore, Dereck

762
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 14: Henry twelve rushes for forty two yards. Today, did you

763
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 14: play aj Brown over Julio Jones?

764
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 3: Dummy? Why would you do that?

765
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 14: J Brown four catches on five targets for fifty three yards. Yes,

766
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 14: Julio Jones turning back the clock today with two touchdowns.

767
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 14: Stefan Diggs has had a rough go of it for

768
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 14: a few weeks now, and this is gonna be a

769
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 14: much larger conversation about Stefan Digs and the Bills. Four

770
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 14: catches on five targets for twenty six yards, Chris olave

771
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 14: another missed three catches on six targets for twenty six yards,

772
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 14: and George Kittle three catches on four targets for twenty

773
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 14: nine yards. Again huge names in fantasy hits and misses today.

774
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 3: It's funny.

775
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 2: I think some people are probably looking for a running

776
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 2: back because you know, maybe they had Rahee Mostert that

777
00:39:23,680 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 2: wasn't playing today, just as Hill. You know, it would

778
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 2: be a maybe a fill in if he was available.

779
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: He had a monster game. Yeah, this happens. This is

780
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 2: how stories of Week seventeen happened in fantasy football. Will

781
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 2: Watts has just missed a forty eight yard field goal

782
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,800
Speaker 2: for the Broncos would have extended their lead to thirteen. Instead,

783
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 2: it remains at ten. Denver leads the Chargers thirteen to

784
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 2: three as they go to the locker room. Jason Myers

785
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 2: has kicked a field goal for the Seahawks. They have

786
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 2: tied things up with the Steelers at seventeen a piece,

787
00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 2: ten forty seven left to go in that contest, and

788
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 2: of course at the half the Bengals in chiefs Cincinnati

789
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 2: up seventeen to thirteen.

790
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 3: That's funny.

791
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 2: In that Cardinals game, at one point, the Cardinals I

792
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 2: believe held the football through three quarters for about thirty

793
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 2: thirty five minutes and the Egos had it for about

794
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: ten maybe give or take, or is maybe towards the

795
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 2: end of the third quarter, I heard this stat that

796
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 2: said Arizona had the ball for thirty three minutes of

797
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 2: the game while the Eagles had it for just nine

798
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,760
Speaker 2: those courtesy of the NFL Network.

799
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 3: So great.

800
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, talk about dominating the football and then leaving with

801
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 2: a victory which has big time ramifications as the Cowboys

802
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: can clinch the NFC East now with the win because

803
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,320
Speaker 2: of that Eagles loss.

804
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 3: Today, we'll break.

805
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 2: Down some of the scenarios plus give you all that's

806
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 2: what happening and what's happening in these late games. It's

807
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,040
Speaker 2: all coming up next year on Fox Sports Red Zone Radio.

808
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 2: And did Sean Payton get it right or wrong? That's next.

809
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,439
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

810
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 3: Hey, happy New year to you and yours.

811
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 2: The Pittsburgh Steelers want to end twenty twenty three on

812
00:40:57,840 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: a high note, and they just got into the end

813
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 2: zone Naji Harris a touchdown run. George stopped at the

814
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:06,760
Speaker 2: three yard line, but then kind of in a tush

815
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 2: push scenario, never went down and the mound just kept

816
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 2: on moving until it got into pay dirt. Steelers leave

817
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 2: the Seahawks twenty four to seventeen, six point fifty seven

818
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 2: left to go in the third. They're just underway in

819
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 2: Kansas City. Bengals on top of the Chiefs seventeen to

820
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 2: thirteen at the start of the second half, and at

821
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 2: the half the Broncos lead the Chargers. As MONSI told

Speaker 2: you by ten as we are broadcasting live from the

826
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 2: dot Com the way tire buying should be. The Chiefs

827
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 2: go three and out on their first possession of the

828
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 2: second half, so they're gonna punt it back to Cincinnati again.

829
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 2: Who has that four point lead. But let's talk about

830
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 2: one of the teams that's in the locker room right now,

831
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 2: and that's the Denver Broncos. And how everything transpired this

832
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 2: past week, George, with the Russell Wilson situation. As we mentioned,

833
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 2: it's not like Jared Stinham is lighting things up for

834
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 2: the Broncos. The touchdown pass that he had a lot

835
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 2: of the work was from little Jordan Humphrey. He's twelve

836
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 2: to twenty two, one hundred and sixty five yards in

837
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 2: a touchdown that looks nice. Fifty four of those yards

838
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 2: a majority of what Humphrey did on the run. But

839
00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:19,000
Speaker 2: still the Broncos seemingly having a little trouble on offense,

840
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 2: something that has been the issue all year. It's just

841
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,400
Speaker 2: right now Russell Wilson is no longer the captain of

842
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 2: those troubles on offense.

843
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 3: As a former.

844
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 2: Player, as someone who's now you know, makes his life

845
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 2: in the media in a variety of different platforms. Where

846
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 2: do you come out in this Sean Payton v. Russell

847
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 2: Wilson scenario?

848
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 4: Oh, this is one hundred percent about about money, and

849
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 4: it's about power and control because he hasn't won it

850
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 4: rough since the beginning. I mean, think about when he

851
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:51,440
Speaker 4: came out and was like, I want him to stop kissing,

852
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 4: kissing babies and all of this stuff, and Ryan Clark

853
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,280
Speaker 4: pointed out nobody kissed more babies than than Drew Brees.

854
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 4: Used to having a quarterback who is a pillar of

855
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 4: the community, somebody who is this And mind you, I

856
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 4: have been critical of Russell Wilson in terms of I

857
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 4: think that sometimes he tries to be too perfect, but

858
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,520
Speaker 4: at the same time, he is exactly the kind of

859
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 4: guy that you can trust with your franchise. You can

860
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,360
Speaker 4: trust him to show up on time, you can trust

861
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 4: him to do everything that you need him to do. Like,

862
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 4: there's nothing that you're gonna ask of Russell Wilson that

863
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:35,720
Speaker 4: like that he's not capable and equipped to be able

864
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:40,399
Speaker 4: to be a leader of your franchise. Nothing, And it

865
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 4: was just actually it was pretty sad to see like

866
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:52,320
Speaker 4: him be treated like that by by Sean Payton. And

867
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 4: I understand that that, oh, yeah, sometimes you need to

868
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,839
Speaker 4: shake up and all of this stuff, but how does

869
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 4: this make any sense because you in Sean Payton he

870
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 4: berated and talk down about Nathaniel Hackett so badly, and

871
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 4: after the way that they started the season, they started

872
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 4: out zero to three, and then they well started out

873
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 4: one in six, I'm sorry, one in five. And then

874
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 4: you come back and win five straight games, well sorry,

875
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 4: five out of six, and then you lose back to

876
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 4: back games, and now all of a sudden, it's like.

877
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 5: Oh, huh, we need to we need a change, dude.

878
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 4: Your quarterback has with a bad offensive line. It's completing

879
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:43,880
Speaker 4: sixty six percent of his fastt for over three thousand yards,

880
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,800
Speaker 4: twenty six touchdowns, eight picks. He's taking care of the football,

881
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,359
Speaker 4: he's being the leader. Your opposive line is bad. Your

882
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 4: your your defense has not been good for the beginning

883
00:44:55,560 --> 00:44:58,320
Speaker 4: of the season. And then you start winning as soon

884
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 4: as your defense starts putting some uh, starts shutting people

885
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 4: down a little bit. And the and and it's not

886
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 4: like he beat a bunch of nobodies. They beat the Packers,

887
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:11,200
Speaker 4: the Chiefs, the Bills.

888
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 5: They beat the.

889
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 4: Browns as well, and you're like, oh, we need we

890
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 4: need a.

891
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 5: New spark at quarterback. That boloney, it's bs. They tried

892
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:21,319
Speaker 5: to bully.

893
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 4: Him in his contract and he said no, which is

894
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 4: exactly what he should have done.

895
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 2: This is this is where I find it interesting, because

896
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 2: I actually I believe that Sean Payton was brought in

897
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:36,400
Speaker 2: to actually end the Russell Wilson eraw yep and and

898
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 2: and that he would be the only one to be

899
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 2: able to do the things that they wanted to do

900
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 2: and get away with it, like you couldn't do that

901
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 2: with a first year, first time head coach. Even better

902
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 2: if you have a super Bowl on your resume like

903
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,520
Speaker 2: he does. I also thought there was a little bit

904
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 2: of Sean Payton maybe wanted to get at the Chargers

905
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:56,959
Speaker 2: for not moving on, because we felt that he really

906
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:58,200
Speaker 2: wanted that Chargers job.

907
00:45:58,719 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll take the.

908
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,240
Speaker 2: Denver, will be in that division, and I can face

909
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 2: them a couple of times a year. I think that

910
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 2: that's all with that. The thing that that I just

911
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,880
Speaker 2: keep going back to, though George, is I don't I

912
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 2: don't blame them for trying to cut their losses, and

913
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 2: I just have a difficult time feeling overly bad for

914
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson, who, by the way, is going to get

915
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 2: forty million dollars still coming to them no matter what.

916
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 2: Thirty seven million dollars.

917
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:31,320
Speaker 5: It's an I don't feel bad for Russ.

918
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,279
Speaker 2: But I think there are people that that that do

919
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 2: and that he got wronged and see training them poorly,

920
00:46:38,560 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 2: and how do you treat a guy that is such

921
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 2: a team player like this.

922
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 3: I feel that there's there's been some of that.

923
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 4: I'm just like, cut the cut, cut the crap, Like,

924
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 4: don't say that this is a I know that they

925
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:53,320
Speaker 4: quote unquote have to say it's a football choice, but

926
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 4: but I'm like, cut cut the crap, please, because at

927
00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 4: no point in time was any of this a football decision.

928
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 4: Now now, as a team, you always have choices on

929
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,439
Speaker 4: your roster, You get choices on who you want on there,

930
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 4: who you don't want. Like all of these things are fair, right.

931
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 4: You have the opportunity to do that because it is

932
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 4: your team, your like everything. But don't sit there and

933
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 4: you know and and try to and try to tell

934
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 4: us that that are you doing something and that it's

935
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 4: raining out outside.

936
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 2: But but you know that not Yeah, but he can't,

937
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 2: like he can't. He can't say that he wanted to

938
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 2: avoid the forty million dollars. It's not they And obviously

939
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:41,120
Speaker 2: Russell's party leaked and then he spoke about it on Friday,

940
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 2: the information about taking about about the the threat of

941
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 2: the benching, and and then him not being willing to

942
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,279
Speaker 2: adjust his contract and then they don't, they don't bench

943
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 2: him anyway. That's the part where I where I get

944
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 2: George where two and two doesn't add up. Of then

945
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 2: then did you not mention because it's an NFLPA CBA

946
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:06,520
Speaker 2: issue which was being looked at. There's a report from

947
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 2: the Athletics saying that, you know, it's illegal that the

948
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 2: Broncos aren't able to do that sort of thing to

949
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 2: be able to threaten his situation if he doesn't alter

950
00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 2: his contract. I think that's why you're getting some of

951
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 2: the verbiage that you're getting from it. But I just

952
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 2: I wouldn't blame Denver for not wanting to be on

953
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 2: the hook for a forty you know, an additional forty

954
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 2: million dollars. And now we've even heard some stuff where

955
00:48:30,160 --> 00:48:32,480
Speaker 2: it wasn't even it was just more of the timeline

956
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 2: of the deferral than the actual you know, deferral itself

957
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 2: that they were wanting to change.

958
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 4: Yeah, but the thing is, Dan, what they what they

959
00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 4: were trying to do is if you're trying to defer

960
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:52,360
Speaker 4: somebody's injury guarantee, right, that means that you are essentially

961
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 4: saying that you want to push it out right, so

962
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 4: that so that so that would mean that if he

963
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 4: got hurt right now, that that guarantee wouldn't kick in

964
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 4: until later. Ye, well, that that it no longer that

965
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 4: instead of if he got hurt this year, that that

966
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 4: money would be guaranteed, it would be like a year

967
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 4: from now, two years from now. So that way, if

968
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 4: he did get hurt in between, then aside from it

969
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 4: being some sort of catastrophic sees it, I mean career

970
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,359
Speaker 4: ending injury, that he would not get that money. And

971
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 4: you're not the Dan. If I tell you all right,

972
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,359
Speaker 4: look Dan, look if you're if you have something in

973
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 4: your contract that if your voice goes out and and

974
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 4: it guarantees you thirty eight million dollars in March.

975
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 5: But Dan, Dan, here's here's what I want you to do.

976
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 4: I want you to instead of then, I want you

977
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:53,920
Speaker 4: to put that two.

978
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 5: Years from now.

979
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,120
Speaker 4: So if so, if you so, if something happens in

980
00:49:58,160 --> 00:50:01,799
Speaker 4: the next two years, can just cut you and not

981
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,200
Speaker 4: owe you the money that's that's guaranteed to you.

982
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 2: If my voice went out, of course, what you're saying, yeah,

983
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:09,799
Speaker 2: I would not be for it. And I and I

984
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 2: understand why Russell Wilson would not be for it, but

985
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 2: I get where the Broncos wanted to do that.

986
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 3: I think we all understand that.

987
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 5: Oh, they're gonna get what they're looking for.

988
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 4: And it's one of those be careful what you wish for,

989
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:24,799
Speaker 4: because you just might get it.

990
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 3: They are trying, they're trying to cut their losses.

991
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 4: And and and that, and it may not actually be

992
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 4: a loss. You see what I'm saying, Like to where

993
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 4: I want to see them find a quarterback that is

994
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 4: better than Russell Wilson. That's what I That's what I

995
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,960
Speaker 4: want them to do. The shot Sean Sean Payton is

996
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:46,439
Speaker 4: gonna get.

997
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 5: He he will.

998
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 4: The tables always turn in life, and there will be

999
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 4: some sort of He will either be vindicated for this

1000
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 4: and be like, yo, he was one hundred percent right,

1001
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 4: or it's not gonna work out and he's gonna look

1002
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:03,360
Speaker 4: like trash.

1003
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 2: I think he already looks like trash in a lot

1004
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,320
Speaker 2: of people's eyes. He definitely does not come out the

1005
00:51:08,360 --> 00:51:10,080
Speaker 2: winner in any of this.

1006
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 4: I mean, if what's his name had came out and

1007
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 4: played well and then all of a sudden the team

1008
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 4: put up thirty five points, then there'd be a little

1009
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 4: bit of vindication or even next season. If this team

1010
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 4: comes out the offense looks super good and all of

1011
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 4: that stuff, then he'll be vindicated. But if this offense

1012
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 4: next year is below average, too, oho, buddy, the arrows

1013
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:37,839
Speaker 4: are gonna start pointing in John Payton.

1014
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,120
Speaker 3: That is true, that you are correct about that.

1015
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:44,319
Speaker 2: A pass interference call against Kansas City on Bengals wide

1016
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 2: receiver T Higgins, who is back in the game after

1017
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 2: leaving early, has got the chief set up inside the

1018
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 2: red zone in Kansas City, now facing a second down

1019
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,000
Speaker 2: and five from the ten yard line, with the Bengals

1020
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,399
Speaker 2: already up four on Kansas City seventeen to thirteen, nine

1021
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,480
Speaker 2: minutes left the third quarter. In that one in Seattle,

1022
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 2: the Seahawks force a punt, but it's the Steelers still

1023
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,359
Speaker 2: with the twenty four to seventeen lead as they play

1024
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 2: late in the third quarter, and the Broncos continue to

1025
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 2: hold on to that thirteen to three lead on the

1026
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 2: Chargers early in the third quarter in the Mile High City.

1027
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 2: He's George Reister, I'm Dan Byer. What will the Broncos

1028
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 2: end up doing? Where will Russell Wilson go next? Who's

1029
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 2: on the hot seat as the head coaches and what

1030
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 2: the heck is happening with the NFL officials. We'll discuss

1042

Speaker 10: gray depression anxiety. So now I'm coming out with a

1047
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 6: it words.

1051
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 2: It's nauji into the middle of the line and the

1052
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 2: pile moves grudgingly, but code for.

1053
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 3: Work gotta go.

1054
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,399
Speaker 2: While what are they gonna call that's a touchdown they

1055
00:53:28,520 --> 00:53:33,200
Speaker 2: called touchdown stop. That was no brotherly shove that was

1056
00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:36,000
Speaker 2: That was a rugby scrum. Yeah, I don't know what

1057
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 2: the heck. That was rugby scrub may be the best

1058
00:53:38,360 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 2: way to describe it. How the Steelers took the lead

1059
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:43,280
Speaker 2: against the Seahawks. It's a little closer now we'll explain

1060
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 2: how in a sec WDV E one O two point

1061
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 2: five FM and the Steelers radio network with the call.

1062
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 2: It's now twenty four to twenty Seahawks settling for a

1063
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,359
Speaker 2: field goal. Geno Smith had a big scramble to get

1064
00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 2: them in the Steelers territory, but the Seahawks settle for

1065
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 2: three in a game that is thirteen thirty maning in

1066
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:03,600
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter in Kansas City, Chiefs getting a big

1067
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,360
Speaker 2: play to get to midfield to Justin Watson and now

1068
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 2: sitting there after a few penalties in Kansas City territory.

1069
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,440
Speaker 2: Facing a second and nine for the thirty nine Bengals

1070
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 2: up seventeen to thirteen, Cincinnati went for it on fourth

1071
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 2: and one again in the red zone, did not get

1072
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 2: it and that allowed the Chiefs to keep that four

1073
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 2: point cushion is a trail Cincinnati by that amount. As

1074
00:54:24,719 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 2: for the other game going on right now, it's the

1075
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:30,439
Speaker 2: Broncos and Chargers thirteen to six.

1076
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,400
Speaker 3: Chargers kick a field goal six twenty left in the

1077
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 3: third quarter. Here is George Reister. I'm Dan Byer.

Speaker 2: NFL Insider you can read on the Pro Football Network

1085
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 2: and hear them on the inside the Birds podcast. Just

1086
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 2: carrying of over with George and I were talking about

1087
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,399
Speaker 2: it was the story that dominated the week with with

1088
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson and Sean Payton. I'm just curious about this,

1089
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 2: the legality portion of it, Adam, can you clarify any

1090
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 2: of that and why it would be illegal for the

1091
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 2: Broncos to do what they tried to do apparently in

1092
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 2: late October.

1093
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 15: Well, you could bench anybody you want, it doesn't matter

1094
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 15: what they're paid. You could bench them. But they were

1095
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 15: letting them know if you don't do this. Now what

1096
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 15: the NFLPA is saying, you can't threaten somebody. That's really

1097
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 15: what it is is they're threatening him by benching him

1098
00:55:28,239 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 15: if he doesn't agree to move the guaranteed portion of

1099
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:36,640
Speaker 15: his contract back for twenty twenty five, which means if

1100
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 15: he's on the roster for twenty twenty four, on the

1101
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 15: fifth day of free agency, which is March eighteenth, the

1102
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 15: salary for twenty twenty five becomes full of guaranteed. That's

1103
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,560
Speaker 15: what's called an advanced guarantee. These have been in vogue

1104
00:55:47,560 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 15: for a couple of years. The first contract that I

1105
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 15: covered with this was Jay Cutler got an extension and

1106
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,040
Speaker 15: his agent bus cooked it and I'd never seen that before.

1107
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 15: And it's a way for clubs to make the agent

1108
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 15: happy but not give him a full guaranteed contract. Remember

1109
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 15: Russell Wilson asked the Seahawks and fully guaranteed contract. They

1110
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,720
Speaker 15: wouldn't do it. He wanted one with Denver, they wouldn't

1111
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:07,080
Speaker 15: do it. And this is the best way to do it.

1112
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 15: Mark Rodgers, his agent, did a really good job. Is

1113
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 15: where he took a compromise, which was, hey, if you

1114
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 15: want to cut my player. You're going it's going to

1115
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,680
Speaker 15: be punitive because if they cut him, the cap that

1116
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 15: is massive over two seasons. They would take a post

1117
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 15: June one and split over two seasons, but that would

1118
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 15: cripple their cap. That's exactly why Mark Rodgers did it.

1119
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:24,840
Speaker 13: He knew it.

1120
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 15: Hey, if you want to get my rid of my player,

1121
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 15: it's going to cost you and it's going to be

1122
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 15: fascinating to see what happens. But Russell went on record

1123
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 15: he doesn't usually do this stuff about saying, listen, they

1124
00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 15: approached me, we said no, we're not going to do it. Well,

1125
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 15: the thing that I don't understand is why didn't they

1126
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 15: bench him then? Because they said, if you don't agree

1127
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,359
Speaker 15: to it. Nobody knows. It's not been reported. I've talked

1128
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 15: to two people. They aren't quite sure why. And I

1129
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 15: have great stuff on the Sean Payton part. I do

1130
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 15: believe you know, usually when coaches are talking about this

1131
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 15: stuff with contracts, I don't always believe them. But I

1132
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:01,000
Speaker 15: could tell you for a fact it's been Sean Payinson

1133
00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 15: has been so frustrated with Russell Wilson for weeks. This

1134
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 15: is not anything new. It's just odd that he did

1135
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:08,040
Speaker 15: it with two games left in a playoff phrase, they

1136
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 15: have a shot at the wild card.

1137
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 4: By the way, now, how is this being looked at

1138
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 4: around the rest of the league or even by the

1139
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 4: league when you make a move like this, considering that

1140
00:57:18,520 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 4: besides losing the last two games, they had won five

1141
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 4: out of their last six, and you'rs essentially saying maybe

1142
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 4: our season is over.

1143
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:29,240
Speaker 13: No, they don't.

1144
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 15: In fact, they did this because they actually the opposite

1145
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 15: is true. They wanted to take a look at Jared Stidham.

1146
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 15: That is the part of this which I find fascinating.

1147
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 15: So they signed stid him to a two year deal.

1148
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 15: It was more of insurance policy, a future guy they

1149
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 15: want to take a look at.

1150
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 3: Now.

1151
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 15: Teams don't go in thinking it's going to fail, but

1152
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 15: checking into it. Sean Payton, like Jared Stidham, he had

1153
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 15: a lot of say on that decision. Yes, he does

1154
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 15: have a personnel control, but he has a ton of input.

1155
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 15: One of the most head coaches. So this is just

1156
00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:59,520
Speaker 15: like a fallback option for them. But they never felt like, Okay,

1157
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 15: this not work. They want to take a look at it.

1158
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 15: But I would tell you early on here when Wilson

1159
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 15: was struggling, and then he got it together and then

1160
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:10,040
Speaker 15: then he fell off again. George, you know, as a player,

1161
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 15: when you're playing with a quarterback who runs around it

1162
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 15: doesn't run the play like it's drawn up, it's gonna

1163
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 15: frustrate coaches. I could tell you if I'm talking to Seahawks,

1164
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 15: they got frustrated with him. He doesn't run the play

1165
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:23,560
Speaker 15: like it's it's it's drawn up. Then he makes a

1166
00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,360
Speaker 15: superman play and everybody's happy. Well, when you can't do

1167
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 15: that anymore, you have to make a decision, regardless of contract.

1168
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 15: Either you're gonna you're gonna take it and let him

1169
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 15: keep not running the play. And by the way, the

1170
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:38,320
Speaker 15: players I'm told were frustrated behind the scenes. They the

1171
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 15: receiver group wants the football. Guys are getting open, they're

1172
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 15: not getting it. You could relate to that. It's being

1173
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 15: a tight end.

1174
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 2: Adam Kaplan joining us here on Fox Sports Radio our

1175
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 2: NFL ins that or find him on x formerly known

1176
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 2: as Twitter at Kaplin NFL. I want to go to

1177
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 2: back to last night with what happened with the referee,

1178
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 2: Brad Allen and the Lions and the and the Cowboys.

1179
00:58:58,520 --> 00:58:59,800
Speaker 3: What what can the.

1180
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 2: NFL do and do you expect them to do anything

1181
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 2: with Alan over this situation, yes, okay.

1182
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 15: Yes, oh yeah, because it'll what and they don't usually

1183
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 15: waste much time. So what happens is the officiating office

1184
00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 15: has the ALL twenty two. They'll look at it tomorrow

1185
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 15: and now they have to get straight because Brad Allen's

1186
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 15: denying this. Obviously, the Lions, Dan Campbell, Jared Goff, and

1187
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 15: of course Taylor Decker. I'll say that Decker did report.

1188
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:30,560
Speaker 15: He did say I am you know he told the referee.

1189
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,160
Speaker 15: Brad Allen is saying no, Dan Skippers said it that

1190
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 15: he was reporting what she didn't need to do.

1191
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 13: They have to get to the bottom of that now.

1192
00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 15: I could tell you from talking to lines, I totally

1193
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 15: forgot about this until they reminded me. If you recall

1194
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 15: last year the Seahawks Rams game late in the season,

1195
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 15: there were three or four calls.

1196
00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 13: That were really off.

1197
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 15: Yeah, it was Allan's crew, and I remember them telling

1198
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 15: me at the time. They never mentioned Brad Allen. They

1199
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 15: just said, do you realize how we got jobbed?

1200
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 3: I go no.

1201
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 15: They said then that had those three or four calls

1202
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 15: not going against the Rams, they would have won. We

1203
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:03,440
Speaker 15: would have been in the playoffs, and then so and

1204
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:06,680
Speaker 15: reminded me that this morning. So, yeah, this crew is

1205
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:10,520
Speaker 15: going to get downgraded, which generally means lesser games are

1206
01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 15: not going to be in the playoffs. That's just the

1207
01:00:12,040 --> 01:00:15,240
Speaker 15: way it's always worked. I remember when I worked at ESPN.

1208
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:17,200
Speaker 15: Part of my job is always too whenever there's a

1209
01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 15: controversial call. I was the one who liked to call

1210
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 15: the We talk to people that there one of the

1211
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 15: things that I that I do, and they get a

1212
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:29,920
Speaker 15: bad rap. But what the what the department? What the

1213
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 15: people who are whether it's Dean Bland, you know, Mike Prayer, whoever,

1214
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 15: it's the egregious calls that really bother them. They understand

1215
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 15: in real time you're not gonna be perfect. We all

1216
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 15: know that they're human beings.

1217
01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 3: Sure, it's like.

1218
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 15: De Valdis scantling one, which that was Brad Allen's crew,

1219
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 15: I believe when he got tackled by the literally tackled,

1220
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 15: tackled in the air by the Packers defender.

1221
01:00:50,880 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 13: You can't miss that. That's an egregious miss.

1222
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 15: That's the stuff that deficiating office will say, Okay, that's

1223
01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 15: the one when the clubs get the call Hey, this

1224
01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 15: is what we missed. Now it's not the club will say, oh,

1225
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 15: it's at least they ad minuted it, but doesn't help

1226
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:07,520
Speaker 15: them win the game. They already lost the game or

1227
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 15: whatever they got jobbed. It's it's a tough business, guys.

1228
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:12,959
Speaker 15: And I know people are saying officiating it is getting worse.

1229
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 15: I think it's just the amount of egregious erres that's

1230
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 15: that's what we're seeing.

1231
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 5: I would agree with that.

1232
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 4: I also think that the amount of replays and getting

1233
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 4: to watch it in slow motion when when the officials don't,

1234
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 4: probably highlight more of the mistakes that get ultimately end

1235
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 4: up getting getting made. But under what circumstances, Because obviously

1236
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 4: the commissioner does have opportunities to like.

1237
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 5: Change the outcome of a game or something like that.

1238
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 4: But under what circumstances would Roger Goodell exercise that power?

1239
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 3: Well?

1240
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 13: I know this.

1241
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 15: He when it comes to television, if he thinks there's

1242
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 15: an issue with the way that the reps are being portrayed,

1243
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:00,480
Speaker 15: he will let the networks.

1244
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 13: No, I know that for a fact, but that's it.

1245
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 13: I mean, he can't.

1246
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 15: There's like there's a competition committee which handles all this stuff.

1247
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 15: The officiating office, there's Trey Vincent, John Runyan.

1248
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 13: Then there's a.

1249
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:17,000
Speaker 15: Director of the Officials Office with there's rules with the

1250
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 15: competition Committee, and then there's the whole league view in

1251
01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 15: terms of officiating group, and that Roger.

1252
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 13: Will if the owners. Let's put it this way, Roger

1253
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 13: represents the owners.

1254
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:32,640
Speaker 15: If the owners wants something done with officiating, it's going

1255
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 15: to get done. That's just the way it is. I

1256
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 15: know that for a fact, I from talking to people

1257
01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 15: up there. When Roger sees there's a problem and he

1258
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 15: hears it from the owners, the people who handle the refs.

1259
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 13: Are going to see that.

1260
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,040
Speaker 15: In the officiating office, they're going to hear about it,

1261
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 15: but he can't. He does not direct people. Okay, you

1262
01:02:49,360 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 15: have to call this or call that. That's it's definitely

1263
01:02:51,160 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 15: not done.

1264
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:52,400
Speaker 13: You didn't do anything like that.

1265
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 2: Adam Kaplan joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. The

1266
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 2: Steelers are driving ten minute mark in Seattle. They're up

1267
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 2: for about to face a fourth and short inside the

1268
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 2: Seahawks fifteen yard line. They're going to measure Jalen Warren

1269
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,440
Speaker 2: was just called short on a pass completion and they

1270
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 2: are They're about a half inch short, so it'll be

1271
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 2: a fourth down. Steelers getting a lot done on the

1272
01:03:15,360 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 2: ground today. I would assume that they go for this

1273
01:03:17,720 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 2: up for in trying to expand their cushion against the Seahawks,

1274
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:24,919
Speaker 2: and it looks like Mason Rudolph is coming back out.

1275
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 2: I do want to talk about some head coaching stuff

1276
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 2: and then we kind of get this in today's action.

1277
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 2: But Matt Eberflu sounds like he sting also saw a

1278
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 2: report about Arthur Smith. What about those two scenarios for

1279
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 2: those two teams that played today in Chicago with the Bay.

1280
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:39,840
Speaker 13: Yeahs the Rough for Pro Football Network a couple weeks ago.

1281
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 15: The feeling around the team is that Iberflu said not

1282
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 15: despite the really bad blown lead to not lost the team.

1283
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 15: He was pretty respecting their building. What I also wrote,

1284
01:03:49,080 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 15: though long term, I didn't say short term. Long term.

1285
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 15: It will be hard for him because this GM Ryan

1286
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 15: Pulse had nothing to do with I mean, he didn't

1287
01:03:56,560 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 15: make the call, he didn't hire Eberflus, and Kevin Warren's

1288
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 15: a new team president and CEO. I'm told he's going

1289
01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,600
Speaker 15: to be involved with football decisions, the big ones. He

1290
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:08,280
Speaker 15: didn't heard of this guy, and Kevin had worked with

1291
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 15: two NFL teams previously.

1292
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 13: He also obviously was.

1293
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 15: The Big Ten commissioner, did a great job there, so

1294
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 15: they may want their own guy. That's what I was

1295
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 15: told of down the line at some point. Now Arthur Smith,

1296
01:04:19,840 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 15: what I folt look the play, He's very well liked

1297
01:04:22,240 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 15: by the players, but more their offense is underachieved. He's

1298
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 15: not gotten the quarterback situation right now. What i'd heard

1299
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:30,440
Speaker 15: you know there is they kind of know they don't.

1300
01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 5: Have the quarterback.

1301
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 15: And that's that's an Arthur Smith's problem because he doesn't

1302
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 15: pick the players. Terry Fonteau does. That's why if he stays,

1303
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:39,520
Speaker 15: that's why he'll stay. But I thought it was interesting

1304
01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 15: that the owner, Arthur Blank, as I told you when

1305
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:43,440
Speaker 15: you guys asked me the last time, I said, I

1306
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 15: don't I don't see Arthur Smith getting fired. But since

1307
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 15: I mentioned that then when Arthur Blank went on record

1308
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 15: with a local outlet, I think it might have been

1309
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 15: the general constitution.

1310
01:04:54,240 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 13: He went on record.

1311
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 15: Saying we'll see, let's get through the season and we'll

1312
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 15: address it after the season. It's not like him, and

1313
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 15: that's why I open a can of worms. That surprised me.

1314
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,280
Speaker 15: I didn't see that coming at all, but yeah, I

1315
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 15: would be surprised if anything happened there. But I still

1316
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:13,040
Speaker 15: see five to six changes. We already have three, and

1317
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:16,280
Speaker 15: it obviously sometimes it comes down the way if they finish,

1318
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 15: and there's usually a surprise for two.

1319
01:05:17,920 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 13: Now there are only five changes last year.

1320
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 4: By the way, I have been hearing from the people

1321
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 4: that I talked to that the that Jim, that Jim Harbaugh,

1322
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 4: that it that it is in an open secret that

1323
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:36,439
Speaker 4: he will be back in the NFL next year.

1324
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 5: Have you heard that.

1325
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 15: I'm not a never two percentages and left them involved.

1326
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 13: But I do believe he's going to come back to

1327
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 13: the NFL.

1328
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,680
Speaker 15: Felt that for years people close and told me he'll

1329
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 15: eventually end up back there. I think there's a real

1330
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 15: possibility that it happens. Whether it's the Chargers who say

1331
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 15: that that they have an opened, they've opened purses to

1332
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 15: spend money and they need to make a debt, and

1333
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 15: that that that are you know. Sean Payton was guy

1334
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,000
Speaker 15: that a lot of people thought if they were willing

1335
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:03,920
Speaker 15: to move on for Brandon Stalely Lester, which they were not.

1336
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 15: As I told people, they Chargers told me they'd never

1337
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 15: considered fining Staley now obviously he's out, there'll be some

1338
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 15: interesting The thing that Harball remember now, Harball he had

1339
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:16,480
Speaker 15: no interest in a bronco's job. Why he didn't want

1340
01:06:16,520 --> 01:06:19,720
Speaker 15: Russell Wilson. Remember they tried to get him to take

1341
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 15: it seriously and he didn't want it. Sean Payton took it.

1342
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 15: Now you're seeing how that's going to end for Russell Wilson.

1343
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 15: Shawn's gonna be there a while. It's a never dull

1344
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 15: moment when you don't get to right a quarterback.

1345
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 2: Let's get to some of this carnage from week seventeen.

1346
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 2: By the way, the Steelers settling for a field goal

1347
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:34,720
Speaker 2: twenty six yards out.

1348
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 3: It's good.

1349
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 2: So they're up on the Seahawks twenty seven to twenty

1350
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 2: seven minutes to go in that one. Moncy Bellonios eleven.

1351
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 2: Update on the scores coming up in about four minutes

1352
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:45,440
Speaker 2: or so. How do you explain what happened to the Eagles?

1353
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,760
Speaker 2: It can't just be Jonathan Gannon knew what Philadelphia was doing.

1354
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 3: You want to talk about laying an egg? What happened

1355
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 3: with the Birds today?

1356
01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 15: Yeah, so this is an interesting story. The Cardinals started

1357
01:06:55,920 --> 01:07:00,280
Speaker 15: eight backups on defense. They have their two safeties Allen

1358
01:07:00,320 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 15: Thompson and Buddha Baker and Xavin Collins who moved outside

1359
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:05,760
Speaker 15: this year from inside linebacker last year.

1360
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 13: And that's it.

1361
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:09,760
Speaker 15: Everyone else is a backup and the Eagles are. Their

1362
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 15: offense is very inconsistent. They're starting five backups on defense.

1363
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 15: They don't get any pressure on the quarterback anymore, and

1364
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 15: their run defense, which is the best through Week seven,

1365
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 15: is dropped off completely. They're not doing anything well. In fact,

1366
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 15: if you asked, I think if Eagles were being ounce

1367
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 15: with themselves other than special teams, they're pretty good where

1368
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 15: they're not great last year, but now they're really good.

1369
01:07:28,560 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 13: They're not good at anything anymore.

1370
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:33,280
Speaker 15: It's hard to believe they're gonna limp into the playoffs.

1371
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 15: You know, it's crazy going into today. Not only did

1372
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 15: they have a great chance to be the number one seed,

1373
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 15: I'm ecusing to win the division. No one's won it

1374
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 15: back to backs two thousand and four. They were still

1375
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,120
Speaker 15: in it for the number one seed, but that's out

1376
01:07:45,160 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 15: the door. Now their number five seed, and they need

1377
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:50,800
Speaker 15: the Cowboys to lose next week and they need to

1378
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 15: win and then they could win the division. But it's

1379
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 15: hard to believe they lost to the second worst team

1380
01:07:55,360 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 15: in football. It was least talented team. The Cardinals aren't.

1381
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 15: They're obviously not very good. And the Cowboys should have

1382
01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 15: no problem against the Commanders. And looks like the Eagles

1383
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 15: will be playing on the road a very good chance

1384
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:06,920
Speaker 15: in Week one in the playoffs.

1385
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 4: And what's the situation up in Buffalo because they've changed

1386
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 4: coordinators and they've been winning, but Josh Allen hasn't quote

1387
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:23,480
Speaker 4: unquote looked like Josh Allen in terms of completion, percentage, touchdowns,

1388
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 4: none of that. So is there any concern around Josh

1389
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 4: Allen even though they're winning.

1390
01:08:30,479 --> 01:08:32,880
Speaker 13: No, not at all. In fact, he's been more under

1391
01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:35,040
Speaker 13: control until recently. This game today he didn't play well.

1392
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 13: But they think they've.

1393
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 15: Settled him down a little bit because they've made more

1394
01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 15: commit to run the football and they don't want to

1395
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 15: be a running team.

1396
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 13: But Joe Brady, this is what Joe Brady decided to do.

1397
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:46,400
Speaker 15: It's been more good than not good with Joe Brady

1398
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:49,360
Speaker 15: from talking to so in closest situation, they've actually been pretty.

1399
01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 13: Happy with that marriage.

1400
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 15: Now he's the INNERMOC by the way, But today it

1401
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 15: was just not good enough.

1402
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 13: The thing though, that's.

1403
01:08:56,200 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 15: Really odd is Stefan Diggs's numbers have been so dry

1404
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 15: the last ten weeks. They actually were fading before Ken

1405
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:07,679
Speaker 15: Dorsey was fired. It's very it's very odd. But look,

1406
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 15: the Bills have turned their season around. Their team, like

1407
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 15: the Rams, I'd be worried about playing in the playoffs.

1408
01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 15: They've shown they can win on the road, they have

1409
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:17,680
Speaker 15: a running game when they need it, their defense is

1410
01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 15: getting healthier.

1411
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 13: They're okay.

1412
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 15: I mean they're not a great team, but other than

1413
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 15: the Ravens, folks, who's a dominant football team right now?

1414
01:09:25,479 --> 01:09:27,680
Speaker 3: George George said the same thing at the start of

1415
01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:30,400
Speaker 3: the show. Yeah, no, it is. Yeah, I think the forty.

1416
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:32,560
Speaker 2: Nine ers have even if they're gonna step back defensively,

1417
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 2: like there's there's something that's not there. We thought that

1418
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 2: the addition of Chase Young was just going to make

1419
01:09:37,280 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 2: this you know, get after the quarterback sort of defense,

1420
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 2: and and it really hasn't.

1421
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 5: Well that is this what the league wants though?

1422
01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 13: And competitive balance?

1423
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I mean we are heading into the last

1424
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 4: week and the Chiefs, who've been to three of the

1425
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 4: last five Super Bowls, they look vulnerable. Everybody looks vulnerable

1426
01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:03,639
Speaker 4: today except for the raven Yeah, except for the Ravens,

1427
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:07,679
Speaker 4: and they probably wish the playoffs started today, oh actually

1428
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 4: last week.

1429
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1430
01:10:09,439 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 15: What I would tell you though, is, look, well they

1431
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 15: love everyone to be dominant, but they like that so

1432
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 15: many teams. You're still in it for a wild card,

1433
01:10:15,880 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 15: and they want competitive balance. They don't want like five

1434
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 15: great teams and everyone else to be bad.

1435
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:19,640
Speaker 9: No.

1436
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 15: I would also argue there are a lot of bad teams.

1437
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,640
Speaker 15: Panthers obviously, after playing very well two weeks ago, they

1438
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 15: were terrible today. I guess the owner has shown David

1439
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 15: Tepper throwing a drink to the crow.

1440
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 13: That's not good.

1441
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:37,160
Speaker 4: Oh will he get any penalties for that, because the

1442
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 4: player sure would.

1443
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1444
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:42,559
Speaker 15: Well, I'm sure that someone from the league office will

1445
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:44,719
Speaker 15: be talking to him about it. But he's a billionaire,

1446
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 15: so I don't think it's a big deal. But you

1447
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 15: shouldn't be doing that. But the bottom line is there's

1448
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 15: a lot of bad football. There's some great stories, some

1449
01:10:52,520 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 15: crazy stories. And your Jaguars, my friend, though, your former team.

1450
01:10:57,880 --> 01:10:59,880
Speaker 3: They're okay.

1451
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 2: The Steelers just had a stripsack of Gino Smith, so

1452
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 2: up seven and now the Steelers recover the fumble, they'll

1453
01:11:06,080 --> 01:11:10,040
Speaker 2: be in Seattle Territory. Adam Kaplan, Happy New Year, give

1461
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 3: Let's go to the news desk.

1462
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:32,000
Speaker 2: Monty Belanos brings us the latest Livearthtirek dot Com Studios.

1463
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 3: And what's been a crazy week seventeen.

1464
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 12: It has been a crazy week seventeen. Do you have

1465
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:40,880
Speaker 12: Rashi Rice on a team?

1466
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 1: Dad?

1467
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 3: That is the case and like so, but here's the proba.

1468
01:11:47,640 --> 01:11:51,479
Speaker 2: Like so many other fantasy scenarios out there, I do

1469
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 2: ever see Rice, but I'm going up against Harrison Putker.

1470
01:11:54,720 --> 01:11:57,240
Speaker 12: So for she Rice, you just caught a huge It

1471
01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 12: was sixty seven yards.

1472
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:00,599
Speaker 2: If you would have just gotten the other and gotten

1473
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 2: into the end zone, it really would have put my

1474
01:12:02,560 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 2: mind at ease.

1475
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:05,559
Speaker 3: Sure, but yes, that is the case.

1476
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:08,800
Speaker 12: Yes, true, Patrick Mahomes connecting with Rashi Rice. That is

1477
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:12,599
Speaker 12: the longest pass play of the season for the Chiefs,

1478
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 12: just to put in perspective of what they've gone through

1479
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 12: this year. But you're right, Harrison, Butker, before the first

1480
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 12: half ended, he had two field goals to cut the

1481
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:24,719
Speaker 12: Chiefs deficit to four. Then he hit a twenty seven

1482
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 12: yard field goal to cut the Bengals zy to one.

1483
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 12: So the Bengals right now on top seventeen sixteen. But

1484
01:12:30,840 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 12: it's the end of the third quarter, so we'll see

1485
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 12: what happens. The Chiefs have the ball and they're knocking

1486
01:12:36,320 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 12: on the door to score, so maybe it'll go to

1487
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:38,599
Speaker 12: Rashi Rice.

1488
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 3: We'll see how it goes from here.

1489
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 12: The Broncos and the Chargers, there's a play under review.

1490
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 12: It looked like Austin Eckler fumbled the ball as he

1491
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 12: was being tackled and.

1492
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 5: That it was recovered by Denver.

1493
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 12: Denver is on top thirteen to six in the fourth quarter,

1494
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:53,760
Speaker 12: it says, I think we're still on to review on

1495
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:55,959
Speaker 12: that play. And then we move on to the Steelers

1496
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,960
Speaker 12: and the Seahawks. The Steelers, Najie Harris twenty three carries

1497
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,839
Speaker 12: one hundred and four yards two touchdowns. They are knocking

1498
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:05,719
Speaker 12: on the door to score again at Seattle's five yard line.

1499
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:07,920
Speaker 12: There is a challenge going on right now, but the

1500
01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 12: Steelers in this moment are on top. They're checking to

1501
01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 12: see if he stepped out a line. But I ooh,

1502
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 12: it looks like maybe he did step out.

1503
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 3: Do you think it a first down for Pitts kick?

1504
01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 12: Yes, right, But where it looks like George Pickens does

1505
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:23,080
Speaker 12: step out of line, that's the play that's being reviewed.

1506
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 5: But as I say, yeah, Pittsburgh is.

1507
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:27,760
Speaker 12: Still on top twenty seven to twenty against Seattle, and

1508
01:13:27,880 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 12: they're knocking down the door to score again. Just what

1509
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 12: happened earlier today forty nine Ers clinching the number one

1510
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 12: seed in the NFC after defeating the Commanders. Ravens clinching

1511
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 12: the number one seat, the number one seed in the

1512
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:42,439
Speaker 12: AFC after dominating the Dolphins fifty six nineteen and Dolphins

1513
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:45,240
Speaker 12: pass rusher Bradley Chubb is feared to have torn his

1514
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 12: ACL in today's loss. The Bills defeated the Patriots twenty

1515
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:51,439
Speaker 12: seven to twenty one. Next week, the Bills will face

1516
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:53,760
Speaker 12: the Dolphins. Whoever wins, will be the champions of the

1517
01:13:53,800 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 12: AFC East. And if you care about UFC, apparently Connor

1518
01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 12: McGregor announced he's making his UFC return, that he's gonna

1519
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 12: five Michael Chandler on June twenty ninth in Las Vegas.

1520
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 12: He announced it on social media. If you're into that?

1521
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:09,519
Speaker 3: Are you into that? George? Yes, seeing kind of McGregor

1522
01:14:09,600 --> 01:14:11,800
Speaker 3: fight again. I'm not a UFC guy.

1523
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 5: Yes, Yes, it's funny.

1524
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 4: I just talked to a friend who's probably the biggest

1525
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 4: Connor McGregor fan, is his favorite athlete, and I was like, yeah,

1526
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 4: Connor Connor still moves the needle intern but but this

1527
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:29,599
Speaker 4: is the last time. If he loses and he doesn't

1528
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:31,960
Speaker 4: move it at a ten like he used to, it's

1529
01:14:31,960 --> 01:14:33,759
Speaker 4: a it's at about an eighth right now.

1530
01:14:34,280 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 3: Well, I think there'll be a lot of are.

1531
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:36,679
Speaker 5: Still gonna watch?

1532
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah for sure.

1533
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:40,200
Speaker 3: June twenty ninth, Market Down.

1534
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 5: Yes, yes, yeah.

1535
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,639
Speaker 4: It's one of those if if you don't win here,

1536
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 4: like if you get knocked out or or submitted, it's

1537
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:50,120
Speaker 4: gonna be like, all right, dude, it's time to uh

Speaker 4: hang it, hang it up. You are going to be

1539
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:56,360
Speaker 4: going to Deontay Wilder the route.

1540
01:14:56,160 --> 01:14:56,719
Speaker 5: At that point.

1541

1560
01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:49,839
Speaker 2: settle for three, so it's sixteen to six with eleven

1561
01:15:49,840 --> 01:15:52,639
Speaker 2: minutes to go. The Steelers settle for a short field goal.

1562
01:15:52,800 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 2: They're up on the Seahawks ten with three minutes to

1563
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:57,800
Speaker 2: go in that game in Seattle, Seahawks, do you have

1564
01:15:57,840 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 2: the football driving in Pittsburgh territory, getting to around the

1565
01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 2: thirty five yard line. But again, the Seahawks are going

1566
01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:06,679
Speaker 2: to have to get a score and then somehow figure

1567
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 2: out a way to get the football back. The Chiefs

1568
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 2: are getting the football back up to on the Bengals

1569
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 2: nineteen to seventeen with thirteen minutes uf to go in

1570
01:16:14,280 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter.

1571
01:16:15,360 --> 01:16:15,960
Speaker 3: You know, lost.

1572
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:17,759
Speaker 2: I don't want to say lost, because I think people

1573
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:21,400
Speaker 2: were trying to make the point last night, George in

1574
01:16:21,160 --> 01:16:24,759
Speaker 2: the Detroit Dallas game of maybe why Dan Campbell didn't

1575
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 2: just kick the extra point after having the penalty called

1576
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:31,839
Speaker 2: against them, because then there was another penalty called against

1577
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:34,680
Speaker 2: the Cowboys even they were going to go for the

1578
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 2: two point conversion from seven yards out and then they

1579
01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 2: end up getting it from about four yards out, or

1580
01:16:40,120 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 2: running the play from four yards out and not getting it.

1581
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:46,559
Speaker 2: But there is this, I mean, we always talk about

1582
01:16:46,640 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 2: when we have scenarios pop up, and it usually involved

1583
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:51,360
Speaker 2: Brandon Staley of going for it and not going for it.

1584
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 2: You know, I'm watching a Chiefs team today that is

1585
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:57,200
Speaker 2: just absolutely struggling to find anything. But Andy Reid has

1586
01:16:57,240 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 2: just said, Nope, We're not going for it. On fourth

1587
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:00,720
Speaker 2: and four. We're not going forward on fourth and two.

1588
01:17:00,720 --> 01:17:03,240
Speaker 2: We're gonna kick the field goal. And they find themselves

1589
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 2: up and now with twelve minutes to go, they have

1590
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:08,040
Speaker 2: a two point lead. It in, you know, a game

1591
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:09,760
Speaker 2: that can wrap up the division for them.

1592
01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:12,840
Speaker 4: And you know, he's been beaten to some mission, dude,

1593
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 4: because this team has been so poor at scoring points

1594
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:22,439
Speaker 4: that they're like, we we literally have to take every

1595
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:25,919
Speaker 4: point we can, get sure, we can't. We can't afford

1596
01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 4: to not take a point. We need every single point

1597
01:17:29,240 --> 01:17:32,520
Speaker 4: that anybody throws out, any point available.

1598
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 5: We were taking it.

1599
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 2: Well, I see, you know, we see on the graphic

1600
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 2: that they had last night in the Monday night football game,

1601
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:42,320
Speaker 2: a lot of times little ESPN pops it up, you know,

1602
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:43,240
Speaker 2: do you go for it?

1603
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 3: Do kick it?

1604
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,360
Speaker 2: And I've never ever seen that graphic say kick it

1605
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 2: every single time. I it always just says go for it,

1606
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 2: go for it. And I just I don't think that's true.

1607
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:57,519
Speaker 2: I don't think that the NFL in the seventy you know,

1608
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:00,920
Speaker 2: one hundred years, you know, of the league, when we're

1609
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:02,600
Speaker 2: looking back at it, that it was just all we

1610
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:04,600
Speaker 2: should have been going for it this whole time, and

1611
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 2: my only point is is, like I think Andy Reid

1612
01:18:07,400 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 2: is showing us in a scenario here of okay, this

1613
01:18:09,760 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 2: is why maybe you don't go for it on every

1614
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 2: single occasion, like you do kick the field goal or

1615
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,559
Speaker 2: you do take the points. And I just think we've

1616
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 2: gotten to the point now, you know, in the National

1617
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 2: Football League, where it's just a lot of got to

1618
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:23,679
Speaker 2: go for it, you know, risk it every single time.

1619
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 2: And I just don't think that that is I don't

1620
01:18:25,840 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 2: I don't think that's reasonable or smart every time.

1621
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:29,920
Speaker 5: Oh, I definitely don't either.

1622
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm more liberal with it than you are,

1623
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:40,799
Speaker 4: but but I do also believe that situations matter, probably

1624
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 4: more than anything else.

1625
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:44,439
Speaker 2: Let's get a look at some fantasy numbers, some hits

1626
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:47,960
Speaker 2: and misses, as it is championship week in fantasy leagues.

1627
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 3: Around with Ryan Berschinge.

1628
01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:54,519
Speaker 1: For Fantasy hits and missus.

1629
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:58,360
Speaker 3: Ryan Berschinger Hits and missues for Week seventeen.

1630
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 14: Yes, let's say zero in on the three games going

1631
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 14: on right now and see if you've got some hits

1632
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:05,799
Speaker 14: and misses going Jake Browning is the top scoring quarterback

1633
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:08,000
Speaker 14: from these games. He's fifteen of twenty six for one

1634
01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 14: hundred and fifty one yards in a touchdown through.

1635
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 3: The air, and he's the top scorer. Yeah, well he does.

1636
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,080
Speaker 3: He has a rushing touch that's.

1637
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 14: What That's what buoy's's number is there, thirty two yards

1638
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:20,559
Speaker 14: touchdown on the ground. But I mean yes, because Patrick

1639
01:19:20,560 --> 01:19:24,120
Speaker 14: Mahomes is currently quarterback four out of the six currently playing,

1640
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 14: only Mason Rudolph and Easton Stick are below Patrick Malmes

1641
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 14: Jared Stidham fantasy wise having a better tay than Molmes.

1642
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 14: Mahomes is seventeen of twenty five for two to twenty

1643
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 14: nine and a touchdown, but he has a lost fumble,

1644
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 14: so that take.

1645
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:38,800
Speaker 3: It's a bit away there waiting.

1646
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 5: That's what he's winning.

1647
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 3: That's right.

1648
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 14: Naji Harris is your top scoring running back from these

1649
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 14: three games. He's twenty four for one oh seven and

1650
01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:51,559
Speaker 14: two for Naji Harris. This is what you kind of

1651
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:53,519
Speaker 14: hoped Naji would be like a year or two.

1652
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:55,160
Speaker 3: Where goes? So look at that?

1653
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 14: How about that your top scoring receiver from these games.

1654
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:02,400
Speaker 14: If you started Lil Jordan Humphrey two catches on four targets,

1655
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 14: have a lot of points.

1656
01:20:05,080 --> 01:20:06,559
Speaker 3: Little joining for a lot of points.

1657
01:20:07,040 --> 01:20:10,000
Speaker 14: Rashi Rice's receiver two out of these games here four

1658
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:13,000
Speaker 14: catches on five targets for one hundred and twenty yards

1659
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 14: because of that big sixty seven yard catch there, and

1660
01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 14: George Pickens, for gonna measure, six catches on eight targets

1661
01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:21,519
Speaker 14: for one hundred and seven yards. Dk Metcalf also has

1662
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 14: one hundred and six receiving yards. And tight ends from

1663
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:28,120
Speaker 14: these games here there's no offense. Five catches on six

1664
01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:30,800
Speaker 14: targets for fifty nine yards. It's your top scoring tight

1665
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:32,960
Speaker 14: end from these games. But let's go with a miss.

1666
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 14: How about Travis Kelce. I believe he just caught his

1667
01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:39,479
Speaker 14: third catch of the game, so he's now three catches

1668
01:20:39,479 --> 01:20:41,920
Speaker 14: of four targets for sixty yards.

1669
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:42,760
Speaker 5: Spittiful.

1670
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:45,080
Speaker 2: And by the way, Taylor Swift is at the game

1671
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:48,680
Speaker 2: and it hasn't been like this enormous headline, like we

1672
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 2: didn't talk about.

1673
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:51,439
Speaker 5: It all week because the Chiefs have been losing.

1674
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, she can't get the attention that she deserves because

1675
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 4: the Chiefs stink. And people can go to sit there

1676
01:21:00,840 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 4: and be disingenuous and say, oh, it's because of Taylor Swift.

1677
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:09,920
Speaker 5: How is it possibly.

1678
01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:13,120
Speaker 4: Because of her that everybody can't catch the football?

1679
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:16,760
Speaker 2: You're right about that you're right about that. He is

1680
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 2: George Reister. I'm Dan Byer. Thanks to Ryan Burschinger for

1681
01:21:20,040 --> 01:21:23,000
Speaker 2: those fantasy numbers. Patrick Mahomes on a third and three

1682
01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 2: scramble is going to be spotted just short. He jumped

1683
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 2: over the first down line. But now they're actually are

1684
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 2: giving him the first down. So the Chiefs trying to

1685
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:33,679
Speaker 2: move the chains, but the Bengals are going to challenge

1686
01:21:33,720 --> 01:21:34,000
Speaker 2: the play.

1687
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 3: We'll give you the conclusion of that is the Seahawks

1688
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:36,760
Speaker 3: kick a field goal.

1689
01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:40,680
Speaker 2: It's all next year on Fox Sports Red Zone Radio.

Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

1691
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 2: The Steelers trying to work the clock. The Bengals are

1692
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 2: gonna have to work to try to get back in

1693
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:51,760
Speaker 2: their game with the Chiefs, and then the Broncos and

01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 2: way tire buying should be, you know, we just had

1701
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:12,680
Speaker 2: our fantasy numbers, George, And again, nobody cares about our

1702
01:22:12,720 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 2: fantasy teams. But I likely lost CA. Yeah, well they

1703
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:18,719
Speaker 2: don't care about min I'm not gonna tell you anyway.

1704
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:22,519
Speaker 2: I likely just lost our championship game because Harrison Butker

1705
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:24,519
Speaker 2: kicked a field goal for the Chiefs.

1706
01:22:24,720 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 3: So that's what.

1707
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:28,479
Speaker 2: Yes, that's how close I was up sixtenths of a

1708
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 2: point and he's been riding the Butcker train today. A

1709
01:22:32,479 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 2: huge day for Harrison Butker. By the way, yes, zoom

1710
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:36,559
Speaker 2: I field goals.

1711
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 4: Isn't that funny though? How like field goal kickers you

1712
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:43,919
Speaker 4: don't really pay attention to them too much in fantasy,

1713
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 4: but then every now and then, sure I have days

1714
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,320
Speaker 4: like this and you're just like And also it's a

1715
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:54,879
Speaker 4: big deal for the offenses because just because offensive score points,

1716
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 4: that doesn't mean that their field goal kickers are gonna

1717
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:00,280
Speaker 4: score a lot of points. Because if it if you

1718
01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 4: had justin Tucker, what was it last year or that, No, no,

1719
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:07,000
Speaker 4: it may have been it was either yet last year

1720
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 4: or the year before, he was useless, like because the

1721
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:15,120
Speaker 4: Ravens were scoring so many points, right, and all they

1722
01:23:15,160 --> 01:23:18,600
Speaker 4: did was score touchdowns, So it was like, so he

1723
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 4: would finish the game with like five points, six points,

1724
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:25,080
Speaker 4: like he never had any of these explosions. But then

1725
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 4: have Tennessee's kicker or and you wouldn't think that that

1726
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 4: would be Kansas City's problem, but that clearly is their problem.

1727
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 2: And in the Seahawks Steelers game, these Steelers were up seven.

1728
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 3: They had a third down run.

1729
01:23:39,080 --> 01:23:41,960
Speaker 2: They if the Steelers didn't get it, there would have

1730
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 2: been about twenty seconds left on the clock. The Seahawks

1731
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 2: didn't seem like they were interested in tackling Najie Harris,

1732
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:51,439
Speaker 2: letting maybe their last ditch effort to get the ball

1733
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 2: back he is letting him a score. Naji Harris did

1734
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:57,360
Speaker 2: not comply. So if you played Najie Harris today and

1735
01:23:57,400 --> 01:24:00,080
Speaker 2: you needed a touchdown from him, he slid before the

1736
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 2: goal line to keep the clock running. But that game

1737
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:06,680
Speaker 2: is now a final. So the Steelers top the Seahawks

1738
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 2: by a score of thirty to twenty three, and I

1739
01:24:09,280 --> 01:24:11,920
Speaker 2: believe that means the Los Angeles Rams have clinched a

1740
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 2: playoff berth. So the Rams are in the postseason. They

1741
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 2: are in the playoffs. Congratulations to the LA Rams on

1742
01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 2: that one. I'm not sure how many people were playing

1743
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:27,360
Speaker 2: Najie Harris. Maybe you're worry he's not been that kind

1744
01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:30,800
Speaker 2: of guy that you count on throughout this season. But

1745
01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 2: they ran over the Seahawks today and a tough, tough

1746
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:36,360
Speaker 2: loss for the Seahawks and for the Steelers.

1747
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 3: Still in the thicke of things.

1748
01:24:37,360 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 2: We'll get their scenarios broken down for you as well

1749
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 2: for the wild card, because they improved to nine and seven,

1750
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:46,519
Speaker 2: just like so many teams in the AFC, Texans nine

1751
01:24:46,560 --> 01:24:48,640
Speaker 2: and seven, Colts nine and seven.

1752
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:50,000
Speaker 3: Jaguars nine and seven.

1753
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 2: Like this is what we've got right now in the AFC,

1754
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 2: Bengals facing a third and seventeen, five thirty seven and

1755
01:24:57,240 --> 01:24:59,200
Speaker 2: counting down five to the Chiefs.

1756
01:24:59,520 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 3: All right, I do.

1757
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 2: Want to get into a little bit more of the officiating.

1758
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:06,439
Speaker 2: You know what my problem with last night was, George

1759
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:09,040
Speaker 2: is I know like we've got we've gotten a problem

1760
01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:10,799
Speaker 2: with the officiating in the NFL.

1761
01:25:10,840 --> 01:25:12,840
Speaker 3: I feel like it's a blanket sort of thing.

1762
01:25:14,360 --> 01:25:18,680
Speaker 2: Missing a holding call, missing a pass interference call is

1763
01:25:18,800 --> 01:25:22,360
Speaker 2: completely different than to me than what happened last night.

1764
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 2: Like last night is a scenario where the Lions felt

1765
01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 2: that they had all of their bases covered, everything was good.

1766
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:33,160
Speaker 2: Even Dan Campbell talking about it in pregame to the

1767
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:36,560
Speaker 2: officials letting them know, and it almost feels like the

1768
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:40,560
Speaker 2: officials were trying to get the Lions on a technicality

1769
01:25:41,000 --> 01:25:44,479
Speaker 2: or just not even paying attention. Is that to me

1770
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:48,000
Speaker 2: is ten times worse. I get that calls are missed,

1771
01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:52,400
Speaker 2: that's human error. This seems to just be negligent in

1772
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,200
Speaker 2: not doing your job. And that's what bothered me so

1773
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:58,559
Speaker 2: much about in seeing what was happening with the Lions

1774
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:00,679
Speaker 2: last night, was that it was just a matter of, yeah,

1775
01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:04,800
Speaker 2: I guess what, we got the wrong number. Even though

1776
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 2: Brad Allen would would not admit it. That to me

1777
01:26:07,400 --> 01:26:10,760
Speaker 2: is a bigger problem than someone not identifying holding or

1778
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:14,240
Speaker 2: pass interference or calling an off sides call of the

1779
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:16,360
Speaker 2: lot of scrimmage. This seems to be something of just

1780
01:26:16,400 --> 01:26:19,519
Speaker 2: someone not being able to do their job correctly.

1781
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:20,479
Speaker 1: Well.

1782
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:23,880
Speaker 4: The thing that made it so bad though, is that

1783
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:29,080
Speaker 4: I have, like in my experience, when you are going

1784
01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:32,080
Speaker 4: to do a trick play, which is exactly what Dan

1785
01:26:32,160 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 4: Campbell said, you go and talk to the officials about

1786
01:26:36,080 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 4: it prior to the game that this may come up

1787
01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:44,519
Speaker 4: and literally educate them on what's going to happen, and

1788
01:26:44,680 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 4: that's what happened. And granted we don't have a microphone

1789
01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:54,440
Speaker 4: or at least we are not privy to the audio

1790
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:58,560
Speaker 4: of what Taylor of what Decker said to the official,

1791
01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:02,960
Speaker 4: but all the footage says that he went to like

1792
01:27:03,200 --> 01:27:08,519
Speaker 4: he walked over to the official to go report and

1793
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:12,439
Speaker 4: then number seventy came in, Swimmer, Skimmer whatever his name is,

1794
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 4: came in too, ran over to the official. What else

1795
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 4: do you want them to do? This is a clear

1796
01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 4: miss by the officials. It cost them a game. But

1797
01:27:25,520 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 4: at the the problem with this is Dan. This feels

1798
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 4: to me almost like that pass interference on the on

1799
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:37,879
Speaker 4: the Saints in the playoffs.

1800
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:39,479
Speaker 5: Who was that Saints Rams.

1801
01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:43,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it feels like that sort of thing where it

1802
01:27:43,320 --> 01:27:50,240
Speaker 4: had a major consequence on the game. And except for

1803
01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 4: with that one, at least that one put points on

1804
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:57,599
Speaker 4: the board. I mean, the the Rams would have still

1805
01:27:57,680 --> 01:28:00,160
Speaker 4: had to go go score and all of that, but

1806
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:04,639
Speaker 4: taking points off the board with twenty three seconds, that's tough.

1807
01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:05,760
Speaker 5: That's tough.

1808
01:28:06,080 --> 01:28:08,920
Speaker 2: Even in ranking them, I don't think the Saints Rams

1809
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:13,360
Speaker 2: miss pass interference because that's just someone not watching or

1810
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:16,400
Speaker 2: not looking or not paying attention. Like even in that

1811
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 2: scenario like this is this is just someone not getting

1812
01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:24,759
Speaker 2: it right. This is this is just not following through,

1813
01:28:25,080 --> 01:28:28,840
Speaker 2: not paying attention, making it making a you know, a

1814
01:28:29,000 --> 01:28:32,240
Speaker 2: verbal error, if you will, And and that's what just

1815
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:35,120
Speaker 2: that's what's just so annoying to me in that case,

1816
01:28:35,200 --> 01:28:37,880
Speaker 2: was that it could have been avoided if you just

1817
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:42,400
Speaker 2: you're you're doing procedurally what you are supposed to do,

1818
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:45,200
Speaker 2: and he didn't do it. And that's where, you know,

1819
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:47,000
Speaker 2: that's where I just think that this just you know,

1820
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:49,120
Speaker 2: goes to the next level, you know what, you want

1821
01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 2: to know. The only other scenario that I can can

1822
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:56,000
Speaker 2: remember of something like this happening, and it happened in

1823
01:28:56,040 --> 01:28:59,679
Speaker 2: a Benefit of the Lions twenty five years ago Thanksgiving Day.

1824
01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:04,479
Speaker 2: Phil Luckett, the official thinks that Jerome Bettis calls heads

1825
01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:09,960
Speaker 2: when Jerome Bettis calls tails, and the Steelers don't win

1826
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:14,240
Speaker 2: the coin toss because of the miscommunication, and then the

1827
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:17,599
Speaker 2: Lion's going to win the Thanksgiving Day game in overtime.

1828
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:20,000
Speaker 2: Like that's the only thing that I can remember of

1829
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:24,160
Speaker 2: something that was just so messed up by someone just

1830
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 2: not listening or not hearing or not doing their job

1831
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:30,120
Speaker 2: and then sticking by their guns and saying that that

1832
01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 2: that's what happened.

1833
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:35,519
Speaker 4: Yep and Dan, And if you hadn't lost already, you

1834
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:36,599
Speaker 4: just did again.

1835
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:37,599
Speaker 5: You a double law.

1836
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:40,040
Speaker 2: You know, it actually makes it makes the cut not

1837
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:41,479
Speaker 2: as deep, so I will give it.

1838
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:42,160
Speaker 5: It really does.

1839
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:45,519
Speaker 4: That's what happened to me last week, is that I

1840
01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:48,680
Speaker 4: was sweating it on the Monday night game and I

1841
01:29:48,840 --> 01:29:49,880
Speaker 4: finally lost.

1842
01:29:50,120 --> 01:29:52,080
Speaker 5: And then in the very.

1843
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:55,280
Speaker 4: End of the game, Brandon I goes for like one

1844
01:29:55,360 --> 01:29:57,439
Speaker 4: hundred yards in the fourth quarter.

1845
01:29:57,520 --> 01:29:58,960
Speaker 5: So instead of losing.

1846
01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:03,040
Speaker 4: By like a fraction of a point, after being after

1847
01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:06,400
Speaker 4: having twenty two points on my bench, like literally plus

1848
01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:10,799
Speaker 4: twenty two points on my on my bench, then goes

1849
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:12,880
Speaker 4: for over a hundred, like one hundred yards in the

1850
01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:14,960
Speaker 4: fourth quarter, and I was like, okay, okay, I feel better.

1851
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:18,840
Speaker 2: George's referencing Harrison Butker has kicked another field goal, his

1852
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:21,519
Speaker 2: sixth of the game, as the Chiefs have extended their

1853
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:24,960
Speaker 2: lead over Cincinnati twenty five to seventeen. Two point fifty

1854
01:30:25,040 --> 01:30:27,280
Speaker 2: nine left to go, both teams have all three of

1855
01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:30,080
Speaker 2: their timeouts, so Jake Browning and the Bengals gonna have

1856
01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:32,840
Speaker 2: to go seventy five yards and get a two point

1857
01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:37,160
Speaker 2: conversion if they want to pull even with Kansas City again,

1858
01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:39,680
Speaker 2: as we told you, with the log jam that is

1859
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:44,880
Speaker 2: the AFC right now, a very very important matchup when

1860
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 2: it comes to the Cincinnati Bengals playoff hopes, I would assume,

1861
01:30:49,200 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 2: and I don't. I do have true story. I said

1862
01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:54,960
Speaker 2: to Ryan Burshing, our executive producer. I said, hey, man,

1863
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:57,519
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna need some clinching, you know, just some

1864
01:30:57,560 --> 01:31:01,120
Speaker 2: you know, playoff scenarios in front of me too. And

1865
01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:04,240
Speaker 2: the documents says like one of nine, like one of

1866
01:31:04,320 --> 01:31:07,040
Speaker 2: you know, the page one one of nine pages that

1867
01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:11,000
Speaker 2: we've got printed out for figuring out scenarios. But we

1868
01:31:11,040 --> 01:31:13,960
Speaker 2: can't tell you the Rams are in the postseason and

1869
01:31:14,040 --> 01:31:17,559
Speaker 2: the loss by the Seahawks today makes tonight's Vikings Packers

1870
01:31:17,600 --> 01:31:18,760
Speaker 2: game that.

1871
01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:20,800
Speaker 5: Much Wait, the Rams are officially in.

1872
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:22,519
Speaker 3: Rams are officially in.

1873
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:27,080
Speaker 4: That is Sean Peyton. I don't mean Sean Sean Payton,

1874
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:32,040
Speaker 4: Sean McVeigh. This is your finest coaching job ever, my friend.

1875
01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:35,360
Speaker 4: I mean, granted he's had a very short career, but.

1876
01:31:35,640 --> 01:31:38,800
Speaker 2: Sure, but hey, this is this is a heck of

1877
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:41,960
Speaker 2: a job in putting that young team together. The emergence

1878
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:45,160
Speaker 2: of Karen Williams. I'll say another thing with them, they've

1879
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:48,679
Speaker 2: had more consistency on their offensive line this year. Obviously

1880
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:52,720
Speaker 2: it helps when Matthew Stafford has emerged the way that

1881
01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:57,639
Speaker 2: he has. But with all of that being said from

1882
01:31:57,680 --> 01:32:01,479
Speaker 2: week one until now, like Puka Akua and what he

1883
01:32:01,520 --> 01:32:04,760
Speaker 2: has meant to that team in being not only I

1884
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:08,080
Speaker 2: I don't know George, like am I saying that he

1885
01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:10,600
Speaker 2: is now the one a option? I mean, will it

1886
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:11,840
Speaker 2: always be Cooper Cup?

1887
01:32:12,040 --> 01:32:15,400
Speaker 5: Yes, he is, he is, He's the captain now.

1888
01:32:15,560 --> 01:32:18,920
Speaker 3: Yes, and so now it gives you the two viable options.

1889
01:32:19,200 --> 01:32:23,000
Speaker 2: Tyler Higbee's been been really good since Matthew Stafford's been healthy. Yeah,

1890
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:24,920
Speaker 2: there's there's been a lot with the Rams and Karen

1891
01:32:24,920 --> 01:32:28,599
Speaker 2: Williams at three touchdowns today, But you know, pukin Acua

1892
01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 2: in their search for that other wide receiver. Remember the

1893
01:32:31,479 --> 01:32:34,920
Speaker 2: Allen Robinson project failed. The Odell Beckham junior when he

1894
01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:37,160
Speaker 2: came in was great, and obviously the torn A Celslo

1895
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:40,080
Speaker 2: he wasn't able to return and return to the team

1896
01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:43,000
Speaker 2: last year. But pookin A Coua's emergence has really helped

1897
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:46,880
Speaker 2: the Los Angeles Rams. All Right, He's George, I'm Dan.

1898
01:32:47,320 --> 01:32:50,200
Speaker 2: The Bengals getting wrapped up on a second down and

1899
01:32:50,280 --> 01:32:52,599
Speaker 2: four is Jake Browning, so it's going to be a

1900
01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:55,840
Speaker 2: third down. At the two minute warning in Kansas City,

1901
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:58,200
Speaker 2: with the Chiefs up eight and the Broncos lead the

1902
01:32:58,280 --> 01:33:00,400
Speaker 2: Chargers by a score of sixteen to six, they're at

1903
01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:02,800
Speaker 2: the two minute warning in Denver. Good time for us

1904
01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:04,240
Speaker 2: to take a time on. As we are live from

01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 10: And you may know me for the world of football

1916
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:35,559
Speaker 10: or fighting or even shows like HBO's Ballers. Well you

1917
01:33:35,640 --> 01:33:38,120
Speaker 10: don't know is for my entire life. I have lived

1918
01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 10: in something I refer to as the gray depression anxiety.

1919

Speaker 10: So now I'm coming out with a new podcast Unbreakable,

1921
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:51,120
Speaker 10: while we talk about mental health, I hope to describe it,

1922
01:33:51,160 --> 01:33:54,280
Speaker 10: give it words. Listen to Unbreakable with Jayglazer on the

1923
01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:59,519
Speaker 10: iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

1924
01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:03,120
Speaker 2: Fox Sports, Red Zone Radio, and the Bengals are facing

1925
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:06,480
Speaker 2: a fourth and twenty seven down eight while the Chargers

1926
01:34:06,520 --> 01:34:10,320
Speaker 2: have apparently just recovered in on side kick. No, they

1927
01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:13,400
Speaker 2: did not recovered by the Denver Broncos.

1928
01:34:13,439 --> 01:34:13,880
Speaker 3: Welcome in.

1929
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:16,760
Speaker 2: It's week seventeen in the NFL, and the fourth and

1930
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:20,519
Speaker 2: twenty seven heave down the field falls incomplete. The Bengals

1931
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:23,080
Speaker 2: are out of timeout. So the Chiefs now just with

1932
01:34:23,120 --> 01:34:26,559
Speaker 2: a series of knees well tightly, will work the clock.

1933
01:34:27,040 --> 01:34:31,720
Speaker 2: They'll become AFC West champions, and the Denver Broncos will

1934
01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:35,920
Speaker 2: be eliminated from the playoff contention. In the playoff picture,

1935
01:34:36,320 --> 01:34:38,200
Speaker 2: no matter what happens in the final minute of their

1936
01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:42,559
Speaker 2: need neil downs against the Los Angeles Chargers Broncos on

1937
01:34:42,600 --> 01:34:45,479
Speaker 2: their way to a sixteen to nine victory. Cameron Dicker,

1938
01:34:45,520 --> 01:34:48,759
Speaker 2: though strengthening his case to be that AFC Pro Bowl kicker,

1939
01:34:49,439 --> 01:34:52,160
Speaker 2: got the Chargers within seven. They almost got the on

1940
01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:55,679
Speaker 2: side kick did not, and so the Broncos are gonna

1941
01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:58,360
Speaker 2: get a win sixteen to nine and Patrick Mahomes taking

1942
01:34:58,400 --> 01:35:00,559
Speaker 2: his final two knees here, it's gonna be twenty five

1943
01:35:00,560 --> 01:35:03,439
Speaker 2: to seventeen victory for the Kansas City Chiefs.

1944
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:07,760
Speaker 4: Finally, dude, So the Chiefs are three points above their

1945
01:35:07,840 --> 01:35:11,559
Speaker 4: season average. But doesn't this feel like the hardest way

1946
01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:12,679
Speaker 4: to get twenty five points?

1947
01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:13,280
Speaker 3: Yes?

1948
01:35:13,840 --> 01:35:17,160
Speaker 4: Absolutely, And this is a hard way to get twenty

1949
01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:20,160
Speaker 4: five points, buddy. I mean that it means that your

1950
01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:25,519
Speaker 4: offense is moving the ball, but it ain't doing nearly enough.

1951
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:28,400
Speaker 5: Like that's like, that's what it says.

1952
01:35:28,680 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 4: It says, Hey, we are moving the ball up and

1953
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:35,760
Speaker 4: down the field, just not anywhere close to scoring.

1954
01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:37,320
Speaker 3: Is what is happening.

1955
01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:41,120
Speaker 2: So the Chiefs have just clinched the AFC West, so

1956
01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:45,240
Speaker 2: they will host a wild card game again. Baltimore earlier

1957
01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:48,120
Speaker 2: today wrapped up the number one overall seed. Dolphins have

1958
01:35:48,120 --> 01:35:50,799
Speaker 2: clinched the playoff, birth they have not yet clinched the division.

1959
01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:53,559
Speaker 2: That will actually be on the line next week when

1960
01:35:53,560 --> 01:35:54,960
Speaker 2: they take on the Buffalo Bills.

1961
01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:59,040
Speaker 5: So usually the NFL the lays next week, it's got

1962
01:35:59,040 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 5: to be an af Soto.

1963
01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:01,920
Speaker 3: No, the Dolphins and Bills play in Miami.

1964
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:06,120
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, I was talking about the AFC SO South.

1965
01:36:06,280 --> 01:36:08,880
Speaker 2: The Colts and Texans play next week, and so the

1966
01:36:08,880 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 2: winner of that game, yes, we'll have will likely have

1967
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 2: the division to themselves, uh in at least the a

1968
01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:21,640
Speaker 2: playoff spot to themselves.

1969
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:26,600
Speaker 4: Oh, the Titans and the Jaguars, Yes, they play.

1970
01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:29,880
Speaker 3: So the Texans and Colts, as we just told you.

1971
01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:33,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, Oh my gosh, bro, the the NFL see put

1972
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:36,960
Speaker 4: putting these division games at the end, is Moui and Pertante?

1973
01:36:38,680 --> 01:36:41,599
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and no, I will disagree with some of that.

1974
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:46,840
Speaker 2: Be I have a problem with fourteen divisions, George, I

1975
01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:50,680
Speaker 2: really do. I don't think that you you settle. You

1976
01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:53,960
Speaker 2: settle a lot when you're it's not even fifty percent

1977
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:56,440
Speaker 2: of your record. I mean, you're you're playing six games

1978
01:36:56,800 --> 01:37:00,760
Speaker 2: out of a seventeen game schedule against you know, these

1979
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:04,080
Speaker 2: division teams, and I know that you're playing the same

1980
01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:09,599
Speaker 2: other conferences. But you know, we have a scenario where

1981
01:37:10,640 --> 01:37:14,640
Speaker 2: the you know, like where you'll have a gosh, I

1982
01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:20,120
Speaker 2: thought it was I thought it was the Bengals, but anyway,

1983
01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:23,559
Speaker 2: I'll have to double check. But you have scenarios where

1984
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:26,200
Speaker 2: you will have a division game in week one and

1985
01:37:26,240 --> 01:37:29,680
Speaker 2: then a division game in week eighteen. Yeah, and to me,

1986
01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:34,759
Speaker 2: that's two completely different teams that are playing at that time.

1987
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:36,400
Speaker 3: I know the names are the same.

1988
01:37:36,520 --> 01:37:38,439
Speaker 4: So you think all the division games should either be

1989
01:37:38,479 --> 01:37:39,960
Speaker 4: in the front or the back of the schedule.

1990
01:37:40,080 --> 01:37:44,720
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, And I don't know which one is. I

1991
01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:48,200
Speaker 2: don't know which one is better. Obviously, from what we're

1992
01:37:48,200 --> 01:37:52,120
Speaker 2: seeing in these divisional games here, the back end seems

1993
01:37:52,120 --> 01:37:55,960
Speaker 2: better for the drama in week eighteen. But again, there

1994
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:58,559
Speaker 2: are so many games next week that will likely be

1995
01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:01,960
Speaker 2: meaningless because of how this is set up.

1996
01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:04,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you can't, but you, but there are so

1997
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:09,160
Speaker 4: many meaningful games. Okay, look, you got Jaguars, Titans meaningful,

1998
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:11,240
Speaker 4: Broncos Raiders meaningful.

1999
01:38:11,439 --> 01:38:14,080
Speaker 2: No, no, it's not. Neither of those teams will make

2000
01:38:14,120 --> 01:38:16,840
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Both Denver and the Raiders have been eliminated.

2001
01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:21,479
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, see. Oh so Denver, even with this win,

2002
01:38:21,720 --> 01:38:22,480
Speaker 5: is eliminated.

2003
01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:22,920
Speaker 3: Yep.

2004
01:38:23,320 --> 01:38:27,400
Speaker 4: Okay, but then there, there, there goes the neighborhood there, buddy.

2005
01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:31,719
Speaker 4: How about these Seahawks Cardinals? Does that game matter?

2006
01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:33,360
Speaker 3: It will for the Seahawks.

2007
01:38:33,479 --> 01:38:35,840
Speaker 4: See, so that's a game that matters. So we already

2008
01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:39,439
Speaker 4: got two. We got Buccaneers Panthers matters.

2009
01:38:40,600 --> 01:38:43,360
Speaker 3: Yes, because the Buccaneers are still.

2010
01:38:44,680 --> 01:38:49,240
Speaker 4: Brown Brown Bengals. Does that matter for either team?

2011
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:51,479
Speaker 2: No, because the Brons have clinched the five spot and

2012
01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:53,080
Speaker 2: the Bengals have now been eliminated.

2013
01:38:53,439 --> 01:38:53,840
Speaker 3: By the way.

2014
01:38:53,920 --> 01:38:56,240
Speaker 2: That was the matchup that I was talking about. Bron's

2015
01:38:56,280 --> 01:38:59,040
Speaker 2: Bengals played Week one of the season, and then they

2016
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:01,960
Speaker 2: meet up again and we eighteen and so now so

2017
01:39:02,080 --> 01:39:05,799
Speaker 2: now you have this week eighteen game that doesn't mean anything,

2018
01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:07,720
Speaker 2: you know, you know, like something the.

2019
01:39:07,680 --> 01:39:11,439
Speaker 4: Cults and the Packers, well the I mean the Packers

2020
01:39:11,439 --> 01:39:12,440
Speaker 4: in the Vikings.

2021
01:39:12,040 --> 01:39:14,839
Speaker 2: The Packers tonight, it does. It's a huge game tonight

2022
01:39:15,160 --> 01:39:17,400
Speaker 2: because both of those teams are sitting there with seven

2023
01:39:17,439 --> 01:39:20,360
Speaker 2: wins and trying to get into the thick of things.

2024
01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:23,479
Speaker 2: And after the Seahawks loss that opened up the door

2025
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:26,080
Speaker 2: a little bit more. There's still, you know, still quite

2026
01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:28,880
Speaker 2: the log jam that you have in the in the

2027
01:39:28,880 --> 01:39:32,400
Speaker 2: playoff picture. The Vikings and Packers win tonight, they are

2028
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:34,640
Speaker 2: sitting in a driver's seat and trying to wrap up

2029
01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:35,519
Speaker 2: that final wildcard.

2030
01:39:35,680 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 4: So the Steelers could win ten games and miss the playoffs.

2031
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:41,439
Speaker 5: That would be wild.

2032
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:43,160
Speaker 3: There's that.

2033
01:39:44,240 --> 01:39:47,400
Speaker 2: Heck, in the Matt Castle led Patriots season, wasn't that

2034
01:39:47,439 --> 01:39:49,719
Speaker 2: the case? Were they with ten and six or eleven

2035
01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:50,640
Speaker 2: and five or something like that.

2036
01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:52,839
Speaker 5: Yeah, but now there's seven playoff spots.

2037
01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:55,920
Speaker 3: Sure, sure, and they'd have.

2038
01:39:55,960 --> 01:39:58,120
Speaker 5: Two teams finished with.

2039
01:40:00,200 --> 01:40:03,360
Speaker 4: No only one one team finished with ten wins and

2040
01:40:03,400 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 4: not make the playoffs.

2041
01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:07,920
Speaker 3: That's wild. So that's that's where this playoff picture is.

2042
01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:11,120
Speaker 2: And again we'll try to sort out all of the

2043
01:40:11,200 --> 01:40:13,559
Speaker 2: scenarios as we can, but we can't tell you that

2044
01:40:13,600 --> 01:40:16,400
Speaker 2: the Broncos and Bengals who were in this late window

2045
01:40:16,960 --> 01:40:20,000
Speaker 2: have been eliminated. So despite the Denver victory and then

2046
01:40:20,040 --> 01:40:22,679
Speaker 2: getting win number eight, which was so important to Sean Payton,

2047
01:40:23,400 --> 01:40:26,600
Speaker 2: they did not get that tonight. So they season of

2048
01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:30,879
Speaker 2: the postseason for the Broncos will not happen. Texans still involved,

2049
01:40:31,200 --> 01:40:36,439
Speaker 2: Colts still involved Jaguars right now technically the leaders of

2050
01:40:36,479 --> 01:40:40,720
Speaker 2: the division in the in the AFC South, So the

2051
01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:45,880
Speaker 2: Jaguars right now have the they have the tiebreaker over

2052
01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:46,840
Speaker 2: the Colts in Texas.

2053
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:47,559
Speaker 5: Math is out here.

2054
01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:51,639
Speaker 2: Math, it's there's well, here's the here's the tricky part

2055
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:53,479
Speaker 2: of it as well. George is because you know, a

2056
01:40:53,479 --> 01:40:56,120
Speaker 2: lot of these games just end and now some of

2057
01:40:56,120 --> 01:40:58,519
Speaker 2: these scenarios fall to the wayside, and then and then

2058
01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:01,479
Speaker 2: the other ones pop up and you have a you

2059
01:41:01,479 --> 01:41:04,160
Speaker 2: have a game between the Seahawks and Steelers that affects

2060
01:41:04,160 --> 01:41:07,360
Speaker 2: the AFC and the NFC. So just trying to trying

2061
01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:09,360
Speaker 2: to square it all away of what's at stake. But

2062
01:41:09,400 --> 01:41:14,360
Speaker 2: I would believe sometime within the next within the next hour,

2063
01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:17,400
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be shocked if we hear what's going to

2064
01:41:17,439 --> 01:41:22,120
Speaker 2: be the Sunday night game for NBC next week, And

2065
01:41:22,160 --> 01:41:24,480
Speaker 2: I'd be shocked if it wasn't Bill's Dolphins.

2066
01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:27,320
Speaker 3: That would be the one. That's the one that I

2067
01:41:27,520 --> 01:41:28,120
Speaker 3: that I think.

2068
01:41:28,280 --> 01:41:30,640
Speaker 2: I know that there's drama for the playoff spot with

2069
01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:34,360
Speaker 2: the Texans and Colts, but if you can guarantee to

2070
01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:37,960
Speaker 2: against Josh Allen in South Florida on a Sunday night,

2071
01:41:38,040 --> 01:41:39,880
Speaker 2: I think that's what I think, that's what we're doing.

2072
01:41:40,200 --> 01:41:44,120
Speaker 4: And you and in addition to that, right, in addition

2073
01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:50,519
Speaker 4: to that, you would end up getting. Yeah, and in

2074
01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:54,920
Speaker 4: addition to that, both of those games, that game in

2075
01:41:54,960 --> 01:42:00,960
Speaker 4: particular has to be watched by everybody because teams will

2076
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:04,320
Speaker 4: either get in the playoffs or not in the playoffs based.

2077
01:42:04,080 --> 01:42:05,519
Speaker 5: Upon the result of that game.

2078
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:08,760
Speaker 4: So I think that that's the game that has to

2079
01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:15,000
Speaker 4: be chosen for the Sunday night game because if the

2080
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:17,120
Speaker 4: the Bills have not clinched a playoff.

2081
01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:21,000
Speaker 5: Spot, correct, Yeah, correct, correct, So.

2082
01:42:20,240 --> 01:42:23,639
Speaker 4: So then so there are scenarios where they could lose

2083
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:26,520
Speaker 4: and be out of the playoffs.

2084
01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:30,720
Speaker 2: Sure, depending on yeah, the outcomes of of those other games.

2085
01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:31,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2086
01:42:31,640 --> 01:42:38,639
Speaker 4: But and if Miami loses, will will Kansas City overtake

2087
01:42:38,680 --> 01:42:39,840
Speaker 4: them with the with.

2088
01:42:39,720 --> 01:42:42,040
Speaker 3: The win, Kansas City is locked into the three seed.

2089
01:42:42,280 --> 01:42:45,920
Speaker 4: Oh well then this Oh so this game means nothing

2090
01:42:46,040 --> 01:42:47,280
Speaker 4: for the Miami Dolphins.

2091
01:42:47,600 --> 01:42:50,040
Speaker 2: Well no, if they lose, they don't win the division.

2092
01:42:51,400 --> 01:42:56,040
Speaker 2: So oh, diez lewis, Yes, so that's why, that's why

2093
01:42:56,040 --> 01:42:59,320
Speaker 2: it's a big deal. So yes, So for them, yes,

2094
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:01,599
Speaker 2: they're sitting they're at eleven and five. Well, the Chiefs

2095
01:43:01,600 --> 01:43:04,479
Speaker 2: are ten and six. Obviously, the Chiefs would have the

2096
01:43:04,520 --> 01:43:06,880
Speaker 2: tiebreaker over the Dolphins because of their win over them

2097
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:10,120
Speaker 2: in Germany, but the tie breaker wouldn't matter because the

2098
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:13,240
Speaker 2: Dolphins wouldn't be division winners. They would be the wild

2099
01:43:13,240 --> 01:43:15,639
Speaker 2: card team, and then Buffalo would end up being the

2100
01:43:16,120 --> 01:43:20,080
Speaker 2: division winner. And then Buffalo would have the tiebreaker over

2101
01:43:20,160 --> 01:43:22,920
Speaker 2: Kansas City because of their head to head win that

2102
01:43:22,920 --> 01:43:25,840
Speaker 2: they had just a couple of weeks ago. So where

2103
01:43:25,840 --> 01:43:29,439
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes saw the worst call he has ever seen in.

2104
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:31,639
Speaker 3: His life, just the worst call ever.

2105
01:43:32,960 --> 01:43:34,519
Speaker 2: Trying to clear all this up, this is going to

2106
01:43:34,520 --> 01:43:36,800
Speaker 2: be it's a fun week for the scenario people. He's

2107
01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:39,560
Speaker 2: George Reister, I'm Dan Beyer again. Packers Vikings has a

2108
01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:42,439
Speaker 2: lot to play for. We'll tell you what is all.

2109
01:43:42,360 --> 01:43:42,800
Speaker 3: On the line.

2110
01:43:42,800 --> 01:43:45,960
Speaker 2: After Manzi Belanos gives us the latest is everything is

2111
01:43:46,280 --> 01:43:48,640
Speaker 2: quieted down for week seventeen except.

2112
01:43:48,360 --> 01:43:50,800
Speaker 3: For that game in the Twin Cities. What's going on, Manzi? Yeah,

2113
01:43:50,800 --> 01:43:51,799
Speaker 3: the math be mathin.

2114
01:43:51,960 --> 01:43:54,960
Speaker 12: I'm glad you guys dissected it because I'm like, wait,

2115
01:43:54,960 --> 01:43:55,839
Speaker 12: who's still alive?

2116
01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:57,479
Speaker 1: Who still has a chance.

2117
01:43:57,560 --> 01:43:58,479
Speaker 13: It's so messy.

2118
01:43:58,840 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 12: But yeah, like the Packers would be eliminated with the

2119
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:03,120
Speaker 12: loss to the Vikings, which is the one game we

2120
01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:06,120
Speaker 12: have going on later today, starts in about an hour

2121
01:44:06,320 --> 01:44:09,439
Speaker 12: or so from Minneapolis. But the three that just wrapped up,

2122
01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:11,960
Speaker 12: Let's give it up for Mike Tomlin, head coach of

2123
01:44:11,960 --> 01:44:16,160
Speaker 12: the Steelers. He clinched his seventeenth straight non losing season.

2124
01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:19,439
Speaker 12: That is a not easy to do. The Steelers top

2125
01:44:19,479 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 12: the Seahawks thirty to twenty three. Now G Harris at

2126
01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:24,600
Speaker 12: twenty seven carries one hundred and twenty two yards and

2127
01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:27,719
Speaker 12: two touchdowns in the victory. The Broncos defeated the Chargers

2128
01:44:27,760 --> 01:44:31,040
Speaker 12: sixteen to nine. All of the scoring for the Chargers

2129
01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:33,280
Speaker 12: came from Cameron Dicker, who hit three field goals, two

2130
01:44:33,360 --> 01:44:35,920
Speaker 12: of them over fifty yards. The Chiefs have won their

2131
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:38,720
Speaker 12: eighth straight AFC West title with their twenty five to

2132
01:44:38,720 --> 01:44:43,000
Speaker 12: seventeen victory over the Bengals. Harrison Butker hit six field

2133
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:46,960
Speaker 12: goals Sorry Dan, including a fifty four yard I mat listen,

2134
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:48,639
Speaker 12: I don't know what's worse to lose by.

2135
01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:50,840
Speaker 13: A lot or to lose. I wasn't even in it.

2136
01:44:50,880 --> 01:44:54,720
Speaker 3: I got my ass whooped. What like, it's not even kind.

2137
01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:56,920
Speaker 3: That's easier, much easier.

2138
01:44:57,280 --> 01:44:59,599
Speaker 12: I didn't even have a chance, Like just from the beginning,

2139
01:44:59,600 --> 01:45:02,320
Speaker 12: I didn't have a chance. So I you know, I

2140
01:45:02,400 --> 01:45:04,280
Speaker 12: was playing, but it was like not even not even

2141
01:45:04,320 --> 01:45:07,960
Speaker 12: for fundsies anymore. Earlier today, though, there were ten games

2142
01:45:07,960 --> 01:45:10,960
Speaker 12: that kicked off Week seventeen. Today, let's start with the

2143
01:45:11,040 --> 01:45:14,080
Speaker 12: Ravens who dominated the Dolphins fifty six to nineteen, clinching

2144
01:45:14,080 --> 01:45:17,760
Speaker 12: the number one seed in the AFC. Lamar Jackson three

2145
01:45:17,840 --> 01:45:20,120
Speaker 12: hundred and twenty one yards, five touchdowns in the air,

2146
01:45:20,439 --> 01:45:22,960
Speaker 12: and fortunately for the Dolphins, they believe that their pass

2147
01:45:23,040 --> 01:45:27,280
Speaker 12: rusher Bradley Chubb feared that They is feared that he

2148
01:45:27,400 --> 01:45:29,720
Speaker 12: tore his ACL. He was carted to the locker room

2149
01:45:29,760 --> 01:45:32,439
Speaker 12: with a non contact injury. They think that's what happened.

2150
01:45:32,680 --> 01:45:34,880
Speaker 12: Then the forty nine Ers defeated the Commanders twenty seven

2151
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:37,360
Speaker 12: to ten. They clinched the number one seed in the NFC.

2152
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:40,360
Speaker 12: Brandon Ayuk seven receptions, one hundred and fourteen yards and

2153
01:45:40,400 --> 01:45:42,920
Speaker 12: one touchdown for the forty nine Ers. The Bills defeated

2154
01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:45,880
Speaker 12: the Patriots twenty seven to twenty one. You just mentioned

2155
01:45:45,880 --> 01:45:47,880
Speaker 12: the Bills and the Dolphins. Next week, Yeah, that's to

2156
01:45:47,880 --> 01:45:49,519
Speaker 12: see who's going to be the champion of.

2157
01:45:49,479 --> 01:45:50,479
Speaker 3: The AFC East.

2158
01:45:50,640 --> 01:45:53,040
Speaker 12: The Bears with the thirty seven to seventeen victory over

2159
01:45:53,120 --> 01:45:55,439
Speaker 12: the Falcons. DJ Moore nine catches, one hundred and fifty

2160
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:57,920
Speaker 12: nine yards on a touchdown. The Rams edged the Giants

2161
01:45:57,960 --> 01:45:59,360
Speaker 12: twenty six to twenty five, and they have.

2162
01:45:59,320 --> 01:46:01,120
Speaker 13: Officially a playoff spot.

2163
01:46:01,280 --> 01:46:04,040
Speaker 12: The Cardinals erased a fifteen point deficit and beat the

2164
01:46:04,080 --> 01:46:07,439
Speaker 12: Eagles thirty five to thirty one. In an NFC Self

2165
01:46:07,520 --> 01:46:11,200
Speaker 12: Division matchup, the Saints top the Buccaneers twenty three to thirteen.

2166
01:46:11,479 --> 01:46:14,599
Speaker 12: The Jaguars crushed the Panthers twenty six to zero. There

2167
01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:18,240
Speaker 12: is a video on social media of Panthers owner David Tepper.

2168
01:46:18,640 --> 01:46:21,360
Speaker 12: It appears that he throws a drink into the crowd

2169
01:46:21,439 --> 01:46:24,559
Speaker 12: at the end of the game, very upset, tosses his

2170
01:46:24,600 --> 01:46:25,439
Speaker 12: cup at the end.

2171
01:46:25,560 --> 01:46:28,240
Speaker 2: If I'm him, I just say ice bucket challenge. That's

2172
01:46:28,240 --> 01:46:31,000
Speaker 2: what I say. That's that's what I pass it off on.

2173
01:46:31,800 --> 01:46:34,439
Speaker 12: And the Athletic has a report that apparently the Panthers

2174
01:46:34,439 --> 01:46:39,280
Speaker 12: haven't responded to you know that incident yet. The Texans,

2175
01:46:39,360 --> 01:46:42,400
Speaker 12: they cruise passed the Titans twenty six to three, and

2176
01:46:42,439 --> 01:46:44,679
Speaker 12: the Colts held on to beat the Raiders twenty three

2177
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:48,000
Speaker 12: to twenty. Demante Adams did have thirteen receptions one hundred

2178
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:50,559
Speaker 12: and twenty six yards and two touchdowns in the loss.

2179
01:46:50,760 --> 01:46:53,000
Speaker 12: In the AFC South, the Jags, Colts, and Texans are

2180
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:55,720
Speaker 12: all nine and seven, so they're still alive along with

2181
01:46:55,760 --> 01:46:59,799
Speaker 12: the basically for the AFC, Jags, Bill's Colts, Texans, Steelers

2182
01:46:59,840 --> 01:47:01,919
Speaker 12: are all alive still for the AFC.

2183
01:47:02,080 --> 01:47:04,280
Speaker 3: It's real messy. It is no, it truly is all

2184
01:47:04,400 --> 01:47:08,280
Speaker 3: that is a seven stuff. Yeah, we do know this.

2185
01:47:09,120 --> 01:47:11,320
Speaker 2: The Bears are on the clock because the Panthers clinch

2186
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:15,040
Speaker 2: the worst record in the NFL two and fourteen. That

2187
01:47:15,040 --> 01:47:16,800
Speaker 2: pick is on by the Bears or the Bears have

2188
01:47:16,880 --> 01:47:18,240
Speaker 2: locked up the number one overall picks.

2189
01:47:18,320 --> 01:47:20,479
Speaker 5: Don't do anything, dumb Bears.

2190
01:47:21,960 --> 01:47:23,240
Speaker 3: What is dumb.

2191
01:47:24,800 --> 01:47:26,240
Speaker 5: Trading Justin fit Well?

2192
01:47:26,479 --> 01:47:27,880
Speaker 12: Oh, I see, I see what you're saying.

2193
01:47:27,920 --> 01:47:28,240
Speaker 3: Gotcha.

2194
01:47:28,520 --> 01:47:32,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, trade the number one pick away, Trade it away

2195
01:47:32,760 --> 01:47:36,639
Speaker 4: and get a king's ransom for it and build around

2196
01:47:36,720 --> 01:47:42,519
Speaker 4: a young guy who is continuously getting better. Yeah, because

2197
01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:47,920
Speaker 4: the alternative is you draft Caleb Williams, or they would

2198
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:48,759
Speaker 4: mess around.

2199
01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:51,840
Speaker 5: And draft Drake Drake may first, and then you just.

2200
01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:55,840
Speaker 4: Got a hope, hope against hope that that he turns

2201
01:47:55,840 --> 01:47:58,439
Speaker 4: out to be at least as good as Justin Fields is.

2202
01:47:59,000 --> 01:48:02,160
Speaker 2: Here's the other thing that you can do, are you good, dude? Okay,

2203
01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:04,000
Speaker 2: all right, we can kill the music, we can kill

2204
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:06,040
Speaker 2: the music. But here's what you can also do in

2205
01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:10,040
Speaker 2: that scenario is that that was sudden Lorena Loraina just

2206
01:48:10,040 --> 01:48:10,640
Speaker 2: put an end to it.

2207
01:48:10,720 --> 01:48:11,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm done.

2208
01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:15,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're done with that is if it doesn't work

2209
01:48:15,479 --> 01:48:18,639
Speaker 2: out with Justin Fields. And he threw some beauties today,

2210
01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:23,200
Speaker 2: but he also took a sack, almost fumbled when they're

2211
01:48:23,280 --> 01:48:25,360
Speaker 2: up twenty with like three minutes to go in the game.

2212
01:48:25,400 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 2: It's just like, all right, just you know, like what

2213
01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:29,880
Speaker 2: are we doing here, Let's just let's settle down. But

2214
01:48:29,960 --> 01:48:33,360
Speaker 2: to the point that George says, of trade the pick

2215
01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:36,920
Speaker 2: and keep with Justin Fields, even if Justin Fields doesn't

2216
01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:39,559
Speaker 2: work out, you will now have a treasure trove of

2217
01:48:39,680 --> 01:48:44,200
Speaker 2: picks that if there was a disgruntled quarterback in the NFL,

2218
01:48:44,760 --> 01:48:48,080
Speaker 2: you could offer those picks for a possible trade to

2219
01:48:48,160 --> 01:48:52,800
Speaker 2: that team, like we saw with Deshaun Watson, you know,

2220
01:48:52,840 --> 01:48:55,920
Speaker 2: the Kyler Murray situation at some point like Lamar Jackson

2221
01:48:56,160 --> 01:48:59,280
Speaker 2: with the you know, the non exclusive franchise tag, you

2222
01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:02,200
Speaker 2: would have the draft capital to be able to pull

2223
01:49:02,240 --> 01:49:05,960
Speaker 2: off a move if you did trade number one, right, George,

2224
01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:08,000
Speaker 2: I mean like that's so like even if so, it

2225
01:49:08,040 --> 01:49:10,800
Speaker 2: even provides you more options if you do end up

2226
01:49:10,800 --> 01:49:12,920
Speaker 2: moving out of that spot, because I think that you

2227
01:49:12,920 --> 01:49:15,519
Speaker 2: would have the draft capital where if it wasn't justin

2228
01:49:15,560 --> 01:49:18,519
Speaker 2: Field's job. You know, if it didn't work out, then

2229
01:49:18,880 --> 01:49:21,639
Speaker 2: you can end up looking in another direction and likely

2230
01:49:21,720 --> 01:49:24,400
Speaker 2: pay the you know, the crazy price tag that it

2231
01:49:24,439 --> 01:49:26,760
Speaker 2: would take to try to get a different quarterback in there,

2232
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:28,639
Speaker 2: so that that.

2233
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:29,360
Speaker 3: Could be their option.

2234
01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:29,960
Speaker 5: Yep.

2235
01:49:30,080 --> 01:49:32,920
Speaker 2: What do you think about David Tepper throwing ice on

2236
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:36,360
Speaker 2: a on a Jaguars fan although a drink.

2237
01:49:37,040 --> 01:49:39,240
Speaker 4: I think that if a player did it, it'd be

2238
01:49:39,320 --> 01:49:42,200
Speaker 4: a big problem. And I think that if the fan

2239
01:49:42,360 --> 01:49:46,040
Speaker 4: threw it threw it on him, it'd be a big problem.

2240
01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:50,760
Speaker 4: So they're therefore, I think that nothing should happen to him.

2241
01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:55,920
Speaker 5: No, no, what I mean, dude, it's all right.

2242
01:49:56,160 --> 01:50:02,360
Speaker 4: So the the reality like something has to be done, right,

2243
01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:05,200
Speaker 4: but what really can be done?

2244
01:50:05,560 --> 01:50:05,760
Speaker 5: Dan?

2245
01:50:06,280 --> 01:50:10,799
Speaker 4: If if you're my boss, right, No, actually we'll we'll

2246
01:50:11,040 --> 01:50:14,679
Speaker 4: we'll do it in reverse because I'm because I'm asking you.

2247
01:50:14,880 --> 01:50:18,400
Speaker 4: So I'm I'm your boss, Dan, and I do this

2248
01:50:18,560 --> 01:50:22,920
Speaker 4: right and now, And you are Roger Goodell, I am

2249
01:50:23,400 --> 01:50:26,479
Speaker 4: David Tepper, I'm your boss. Really, I'm the guy who's

2250
01:50:26,720 --> 01:50:32,040
Speaker 4: who just signed off on you getting you know that

2251
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:34,800
Speaker 4: you're gonna make one of the billion dollars being the

2252
01:50:34,840 --> 01:50:40,200
Speaker 4: owner of the I mean being a commissioner, right, So Dan,

2253
01:50:40,520 --> 01:50:42,040
Speaker 4: how are you going to punish me?

2254
01:50:43,439 --> 01:50:45,680
Speaker 2: Well, I would need I would need the backing of

2255
01:50:45,720 --> 01:50:47,719
Speaker 2: the other thirty thirty one owners.

2256
01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:50,439
Speaker 4: So that's what I say, Like, you gotta go curry

2257
01:50:50,520 --> 01:50:56,280
Speaker 4: favor to actually do something. Yes, yes, And then the

2258
01:50:56,320 --> 01:50:59,479
Speaker 4: other owners are gonna be like, hey, yo, we don't like, yeah,

2259
01:50:59,600 --> 01:51:02,800
Speaker 4: we want to something's got to be done. But let's

2260
01:51:02,840 --> 01:51:05,360
Speaker 4: not go too hard because if I run a foul

2261
01:51:05,439 --> 01:51:08,280
Speaker 4: of the situation, what I'm not trying to have happen

2262
01:51:08,880 --> 01:51:09,360
Speaker 4: it is.

2263
01:51:09,400 --> 01:51:12,360
Speaker 2: Me go down temper honestly has got enough money to

2264
01:51:12,439 --> 01:51:15,280
Speaker 2: make it right to do, you know, to do something

2265
01:51:15,400 --> 01:51:18,000
Speaker 2: or to not make it go away. And it's what

2266
01:51:18,080 --> 01:51:21,840
Speaker 2: I'm saying is but you know they're they're criminal charges

2267
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:24,400
Speaker 2: are not going to be pressed, Like no, no, no.

2268
01:51:24,160 --> 01:51:27,080
Speaker 4: No, no no, I'm just talking about a suspension from the league.

2269
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:30,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I just I yeah, I think that

2270
01:51:30,280 --> 01:51:32,120
Speaker 2: you're right. I don't I don't know what they would do.

2271
01:51:32,160 --> 01:51:35,439
Speaker 2: I don't know what you could do, you know, Like really,

2272
01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:37,320
Speaker 2: the only way the only thing that I think really

2273
01:51:37,320 --> 01:51:41,200
Speaker 2: hampers teams is taking away draft picks. And and it

2274
01:51:41,320 --> 01:51:44,800
Speaker 2: sounds silly in this scenario, like they're not gonna do

2275
01:51:44,880 --> 01:51:45,280
Speaker 2: that for.

2276
01:51:45,200 --> 01:51:48,360
Speaker 4: That, no, you know, so they're going to find him

2277
01:51:48,720 --> 01:51:52,240
Speaker 4: and suspend him for a couple of games, which is

2278
01:51:52,479 --> 01:51:55,000
Speaker 4: essentially a slap on the rest, like you oh boo

2279
01:51:55,080 --> 01:51:57,479
Speaker 4: boo hoo, he can't put them to the game two.

2280
01:51:57,280 --> 01:52:00,880
Speaker 3: Weeks capable, You're probably be right about that.

2281
01:52:00,960 --> 01:52:03,800
Speaker 4: He can't come next week game. And they're going to

2282
01:52:03,880 --> 01:52:06,880
Speaker 4: find the billionaire two hundred and fifty thousand.

2283
01:52:06,640 --> 01:52:12,240
Speaker 2: Dollars tonight that the Packers and all my family who

2284
01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:15,559
Speaker 2: are owners with their certificates on the wall are going

2285
01:52:15,640 --> 01:52:18,720
Speaker 2: to be watching tonight and hoping for a victory over

2286
01:52:18,720 --> 01:52:20,880
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings. And you know, this is something MONSI

2287
01:52:20,920 --> 01:52:23,639
Speaker 2: and I talked about earlier this week and the decision

2288
01:52:23,680 --> 01:52:27,120
Speaker 2: that Kevin O'Connell made to go to Jaren Hall. George,

2289
01:52:27,200 --> 01:52:30,120
Speaker 2: I really believe like the future of Kirk Cousins in

2290
01:52:30,160 --> 01:52:33,400
Speaker 2: Minnesota is on the line tonight. And the reason that

2291
01:52:33,439 --> 01:52:35,320
Speaker 2: I say that is obviously it's going to be a

2292
01:52:35,320 --> 01:52:35,880
Speaker 2: free agent.

2293
01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:38,360
Speaker 3: But if the Vikings look good with.

2294
01:52:38,400 --> 01:52:40,800
Speaker 2: Jaren Hall as their quarterback and what is a must

2295
01:52:40,880 --> 01:52:44,760
Speaker 2: win game, there are playoff aspirations for this team. There

2296
01:52:44,760 --> 01:52:49,280
Speaker 2: are playoff implications with this game. If he wins tonight

2297
01:52:49,400 --> 01:52:54,479
Speaker 2: and plays well, it allows them the ability to look

2298
01:52:54,520 --> 01:52:57,639
Speaker 2: towards him for the future, and they obviously had enough

2299
01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:00,400
Speaker 2: faith in him that he ended up serving is to

2300
01:53:00,479 --> 01:53:02,639
Speaker 2: back up until he was knocked out of that game

2301
01:53:02,680 --> 01:53:04,839
Speaker 2: against the Falcons. Now, the team did have to acquire

2302
01:53:05,160 --> 01:53:07,439
Speaker 2: Josh Dobbs, and Nick Mullins was out for a while,

2303
01:53:07,520 --> 01:53:10,559
Speaker 2: but both of those guys are available tonight. Nick Mullins

2304
01:53:10,600 --> 01:53:13,120
Speaker 2: and Josh Dobbs would be available to play this game.

2305
01:53:13,439 --> 01:53:15,400
Speaker 2: Mullins just threw for four hundred yards, and I know

2306
01:53:15,520 --> 01:53:18,160
Speaker 2: he threw for four interceptions, but to turn to a

2307
01:53:18,360 --> 01:53:23,240
Speaker 2: fifth round rookie quarterback for his second career start, but

2308
01:53:23,280 --> 01:53:25,479
Speaker 2: I think it says how they feel about him and

2309
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:29,360
Speaker 2: if it works if you're Minnesota.

2310
01:53:28,760 --> 01:53:33,520
Speaker 4: Just doesn't say anything, dude, you Okay, So are Mullins

2311
01:53:33,560 --> 01:53:36,920
Speaker 4: threw four picks but he's but he should have thrown seven,

2312
01:53:38,240 --> 01:53:41,200
Speaker 4: Like he's a turnover waiting to have every single time

2313
01:53:41,200 --> 01:53:41,920
Speaker 4: he throws the ball.

2314
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:45,200
Speaker 2: Okay, So Mullins isn't an option cross him out. Josh

2315
01:53:45,200 --> 01:53:46,880
Speaker 2: Dobbs is an option to start tonight.

2316
01:53:47,280 --> 01:53:51,240
Speaker 4: I mean, there's no point in going back back to

2317
01:53:51,280 --> 01:53:53,720
Speaker 4: the past or not that ship has sailed for the

2318
01:53:53,760 --> 01:53:56,360
Speaker 4: rest of the season. At least at this point you

2319
01:53:56,439 --> 01:53:59,400
Speaker 4: can say, all right, we like this dude, we drafted.

2320
01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:01,240
Speaker 5: What's the worst that could happen?

2321
01:54:01,720 --> 01:54:03,280
Speaker 2: Well, they could lose and be knocked out of the

2322
01:54:03,320 --> 01:54:05,839
Speaker 2: playoff picture. That's the worst.

2323
01:54:05,880 --> 01:54:08,080
Speaker 4: Do you do you think that you have a better

2324
01:54:08,120 --> 01:54:11,759
Speaker 4: shot to I mean, at least you can say, let's

2325
01:54:11,760 --> 01:54:15,240
Speaker 4: get let's get two games of Jaron halland if he

2326
01:54:15,360 --> 01:54:19,320
Speaker 4: wins them, great, then that may change our offseason plan.

2327
01:54:19,840 --> 01:54:23,920
Speaker 4: If he if he looks poorly, then we're on the

2328
01:54:23,960 --> 01:54:25,240
Speaker 4: same plan that we were.

2329
01:54:25,400 --> 01:54:27,600
Speaker 2: I think the fact that they're willing to take that

2330
01:54:27,800 --> 01:54:31,680
Speaker 2: risk tonight with him to see what he's got and

2331
01:54:31,760 --> 01:54:34,560
Speaker 2: how they had And it was a short stint with

2332
01:54:34,680 --> 01:54:37,960
Speaker 2: the Vikings in the game against the Falcons before he

2333
01:54:38,120 --> 01:54:40,960
Speaker 2: was knocked out, but there was a little promise shown

2334
01:54:40,960 --> 01:54:43,320
Speaker 2: in the snaps that he had. And I'm just saying

2335
01:54:43,320 --> 01:54:45,400
Speaker 2: that if you win that, you win this game tonight

2336
01:54:45,440 --> 01:54:50,360
Speaker 2: on Sunday night football against your biggest rival in a

2337
01:54:50,440 --> 01:54:53,880
Speaker 2: game that has playoff implications, I think that has a

2338
01:54:53,880 --> 01:54:56,520
Speaker 2: lot of momentum. And when you're thinking, you know and

2339
01:54:56,840 --> 01:55:00,280
Speaker 2: it's it's not meant to I mean, Kirk Cousin is

2340
01:55:00,320 --> 01:55:02,960
Speaker 2: a very very good quarterback. But I just think that

2341
01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:04,840
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, if Jaren Hall becomes the guy,

2342
01:55:04,960 --> 01:55:07,760
Speaker 2: Now you're sitting there saying, all right, do we spend

2343
01:55:07,800 --> 01:55:11,480
Speaker 2: forty to forty you know, two million dollars on Kirk

2344
01:55:11,480 --> 01:55:14,080
Speaker 2: Cousins or do we see what Jaren Hall can do

2345
01:55:14,160 --> 01:55:17,760
Speaker 2: with a full offseason and the number one reps and

2346
01:55:17,840 --> 01:55:20,200
Speaker 2: move on from there. I think it's a I think

2347
01:55:20,200 --> 01:55:24,680
Speaker 2: it's a serious possibility with the Minnesota Vikings. If Hall

2348
01:55:24,760 --> 01:55:27,560
Speaker 2: shows out in these two games, which would be huge

2349
01:55:27,560 --> 01:55:30,000
Speaker 2: for them, it would be enough for maybe Minnesota to

2350
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:31,600
Speaker 2: make their decision for twenty twenty four.

2351
01:55:33,320 --> 01:55:38,440
Speaker 4: I think that their decision to bring Kirk Cousins back

2352
01:55:38,560 --> 01:55:42,080
Speaker 4: or not, that that decision could be made. But then

2353
01:55:42,160 --> 01:55:44,480
Speaker 4: I do think that they still end up bringing in

2354
01:55:44,520 --> 01:55:48,960
Speaker 4: the Jake Browning, bringing in you know, a Gardner Minshew

2355
01:55:49,320 --> 01:55:51,160
Speaker 4: like somebody along those lines as well.

2356

Speaker 2: He's George Reister. I'm Dan Byer. It is Fox Sports

2367
01:56:25,480 --> 01:56:29,000
Speaker 2: I just saw a tweet George, and I understand, like sometimes,

2368
01:56:29,360 --> 01:56:31,000
Speaker 2: you know, you try to put lipstick on a pig

2369
01:56:31,040 --> 01:56:34,120
Speaker 2: if you will, and this isn't This isn't a pig,

2370
01:56:34,240 --> 01:56:38,040
Speaker 2: this isn't anything. But sometimes stats aren't as impressive as

2371
01:56:38,120 --> 01:56:40,280
Speaker 2: they try to write them out to be. I've just

2372
01:56:40,320 --> 01:56:42,600
Speaker 2: gotten alert on my phone from the NFL saying that

2373
01:56:42,640 --> 01:56:46,440
Speaker 2: the Rams are back in the playoffs for the first

2374
01:56:46,440 --> 01:56:48,600
Speaker 2: time since they won the Super Bowl.

2375
01:56:49,480 --> 01:56:51,000
Speaker 3: That was two years ago.

2376
01:56:51,560 --> 01:56:52,360
Speaker 8: That long.

2377
01:56:52,520 --> 01:56:54,800
Speaker 3: No, no, they missed it one year.

2378
01:56:55,160 --> 01:56:58,960
Speaker 2: But they try to make it so dramatic, and I

2379
01:56:58,960 --> 01:57:03,400
Speaker 2: guess the NFL love it's drama. And there's there's evidence

2380
01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:09,360
Speaker 2: right there. Just uh, finally the weight is over for

2381
01:57:09,440 --> 01:57:14,520
Speaker 2: the Rams. It's been check's notes. Uh yeah, one season

2382
01:57:14,600 --> 01:57:19,000
Speaker 2: since they have not made the checks notes yo last year,

2383
01:57:20,040 --> 01:57:22,440
Speaker 2: so there in. As we've been talking about, the playoff

2384
01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:24,680
Speaker 2: picture is wild in the AFC with a bunch of

2385
01:57:24,680 --> 01:57:27,280
Speaker 2: scenarios and the NFC. Things that get a lot clearer

2386
01:57:27,280 --> 01:57:31,440
Speaker 2: with tonight's Vikings Packers game is if it ends in

2387
01:57:31,480 --> 01:57:34,000
Speaker 2: a tie, that's gonna be bad for both squads. So

2388
01:57:35,080 --> 01:57:36,480
Speaker 2: you can throw that out there, but I don't think

2389
01:57:36,480 --> 01:57:39,400
Speaker 2: we're gonna see it tie Tonight. Hit Georgia bad, George Reister.

Speaker 2: You can find me at Dan Byer on Fox. Let's
