Are you ready for 0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:12.240 a break? Are you ready for a break? Absolutely ready 0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:16.079 for a break. Yeah, and so much for that. It's 0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:22.000 time for the break on Dallas Cowboys dot Com with 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:27.320 Nick Eatman, David Hellman and bar Garcia and Derek Eagleton. 0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:33.600 Hello guys, Today's Tuesday, December twelfth. Derek Eagleton is still 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:39.880 vacationing in the Bahamas. Um, we hope he's. We still 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.839 have Nick and Dave grinding it away. You're damn right, 0:00:43.920 --> 0:00:47.720 you do right? Bahamas? Where is Yeah, he's at the Bahamas. 0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:51.440 We're down here fighting for our lives. Seven and six 0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:53.840 ball club trying to find a way into the playoffs, 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:58.160 and Derek's just taking a run around Central Park somewhere. Yeah, 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.480 that's he was real excited to take a run around 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.760 Central Park. That's what he wanted to do. That's what 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.200 he's in New York. He says he's in meetings, but 0:01:05.240 --> 0:01:07.319 he was touring. I think there was a statue of 0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:11.280 liberty stuff like that. Selfies. Bum. We'll find out. He'll 0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:15.399 be back tomorrow with us. I think Today's episodes episode 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:21.200 maybe eighty nine, something like that. We're good and really accurate. Yeah, 0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.360 we'll just go it's not here. So the number of 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.520 people that care what episode it is it's down to zero. 0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.200 He tweeted on me about it this morning, wanting to 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.640 make sure I got it right and you didn't even 0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.479 read it. No, he was asking me what episode numbers it? 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.640 Who cares? Say? If you want to tell people what 0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.000 episode number it is, maybe you come do your job right. 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:46.200 There's probably people out there that know that because the 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:51.400 other day when we played this horrible drop from me um, 0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:56.400 I got a lot of people that replied back with 0:01:56.560 --> 0:02:01.000 their theory of what it was. Yeah. Good, it's so 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.360 most of the people, the majority people think that I 0:02:04.440 --> 0:02:09.639 was referring to Ron Leary. Yeah, but I still don't 0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:11.680 think that was a problem though he didn't have one. 0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:13.640 That's why his pants would fall down. So why would 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:16.000 you have said that it's a decent point, that's a 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:20.280 that's good point. Crack reporter there can't get him on all. 0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.920 I still think it's DeMarco. I do too. I don't 0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.400 think I would have said that about an offensive lineman, 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.920 but maybe maybe, And that's you know, like, who's butter 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.919 Learry or Collins. Why do you think he's better? And 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:34.800 maybe I said that, but remember now, Douglas had this 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:36.960 drop for a while and he's been saving it, so 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.560 this seems like it's got some Douglas has a good memory. 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.799 He might he might know, like he might just be 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.200 able to be like, oh, yeah, you're talking about DeMarco. Yeah, 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:49.519 because he's got it. It makes me laugh every time. 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:53.400 All Right, Okay, guys, does Dave have a drop? I mean, 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.520 do we have anything like that on Dave? I mean, 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.720 the one that knows You've said a thousand things. The 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.040 one Douglas always like to pull out on me was 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.079 do I look like I suck? Well, you just created 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.920 one right when you were when you're not on Hanging 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:11.000 with the Boys or on air anymore, rated all the 0:03:11.080 --> 0:03:15.800 Dave drops. That's okay. Well, I'm glad. I'm glad we 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:19.600 got that discussion in. So let's find out big picture. Now, 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:25.680 what's gonna happen? Nick, what's so funny? Dave knows? I 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:27.880 do know, and I'm just choosing not to acknowledge it. 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.440 I asked him to recreate a drop, and he just 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.760 created one, right then. Okay, let's keep going, move forward, 0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:38.800 Come on, bust R. Big picture. What's happening now? Obviously 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:42.080 we already know that the Cowboys must win all the 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.480 remaining games in order to attempt to make it into 0:03:45.520 --> 0:03:49.160 the playoffs. What's going on in the division? Well, in 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:53.800 the division divisions? Obviously the Eagles have clinged. Yes, they 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.960 have their title. And now the biggest thing that comes 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.840 to to for me when it comes to the division 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:04.200 is where the Packers gonna finish? Like, are they gonna 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:07.400 finish second in their division? Because I'm sure once again 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:10.200 the Cowboys are gonna finish second probably and have to 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:14.080 face him. Theoretically, I'm looking at the standings right well, 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:18.839 Lions the theoretically, I guess they could still finish first. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.280 Like the Vikings are ten and three, they have a 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:24.880 three and one division record, the Packers are two and two. 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.080 They still there's a lot of division games still to 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.920 play there, so I don't think you see them runner 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.520 the table. You see Aaron Rodgers definitely starting that well, 0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:35.640 I know he can come off of these They have 0:04:35.880 --> 0:04:39.479 not released that information yet, Like McCarthy had a big 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.159 press conference yesterday where they were basically like, yeah, we 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:46.560 don't know yet. We're still evaluating him. You know, we 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:48.719 need an answer soon, obviously, because we got to start 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.960 practicing and stuff. But can't. What was that stat you 0:04:50.960 --> 0:04:53.800 told me on the plane about Rogers is one and 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.960 seven at overtime in his career and Brett Huntley's two 0:04:56.960 --> 0:05:00.400 and oh, it's awesome. That's awesome. He's gonna come back, 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:04.120 start the game. They're gonna go to overtime. They were like, hey, Aaron, uh, 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.839 we're going to the bullpen here. Uh. Hunley's two and oh, 0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.159 you don't really have success here, that's I mean, that 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:12.840 goes over. Well, he wins it in regulation. He didn't 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:16.039 need overtime most of the time. Doubt it. How do 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.640 we know that Rogers I'm talking about right now? No, 0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:22.080 we do know it. Yeah, yeah, Lois knows it. We 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.719 know what we were right there. Um, just one game, 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.040 you know. It's funny like that, like the one game, 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:31.320 one play one you want that run the ball and 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.600 don't score right there and take off the time. How 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:37.000 I mean, it's so funny how it's just one game 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.120 at the time, and then we got twelve more. But 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.560 now you fast forward to now and you're sitting at 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:43.479 seven and six. If you were at eight and five 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.160 and you had a win over the Packers, Well, obviously 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:50.280 they're out of it. The Packers would have been out probably. Um. 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.440 You know what's wild to me? I made this point 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:54.919 the other or yesterday. You don't even have to be 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.360 eight and five if you if you go if you 0:05:58.400 --> 0:06:01.000 go into the six game, Zekes Spension and you're like, 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.840 you're gonna go three and three, but you flip those 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.560 results so that you beat Atlanta and you lose to Oakland. 0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.479 Let's say you're still seven Kansas City. Yeah, you trade 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:14.479 the Kansas City Atlantic game. Well that was but yeah, 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.120 or you know you you you beat Yeah, just say Oakland, 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.719 what was the other win besides they've won two games. Yeah, 0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.240 you flip Bakland in Atlanta. You're still seven and six. 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:27.200 But you're feeling way better about yourself record, a lot 0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:30.320 better about yourself than you do right now. So that's 0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:32.400 I mean, that's the nature of the NFL. But to 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:37.120 your point, Amber, Cowboys can't win the East. They we 0:06:37.240 --> 0:06:40.200 said yesterday. I think the official statistic is four percent, 0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:42.000 and a lot of people have tweeted me about that, 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.720 and I get it. It's a little misleading because if 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.120 you win all three of your games, that percentage shoots 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.840 way up. But that's part of you know, it's five 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:52.320 to thirty eight. It's the company that predicts the election 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.719 all the time. Um, But that's part of it. Is 0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:57.040 the odds that they win all three of their games 0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:00.520 and get the breaks they need. Sit somewhere about. It's 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:03.200 like when you're playing fantasy and they maybe it's on 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.600 like Yahoo or something, it says the you got ninety 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:08.400 percent chance of winning, and the next thing and it 0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.560 goes down to seventy five because someone scored a touchdown. 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.280 Is for Levion Bell to have a forty yard touchdown, right, 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.520 and then you're like, what happened here? So that would 0:07:15.560 --> 0:07:17.600 obviously change if they if they can get this win. 0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:19.760 I mean, this is this is the game. I mean, 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.200 this is the one where I think that you know 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.080 it's gonna be. It will be a tough game for 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:26.040 the Cowboys and it's a tough place to play, and 0:07:26.080 --> 0:07:29.600 I mean they haven't won a regular season game appear, 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.160 I mean this is a misleading staff, but they haven't 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.120 won a regular season game in Oakland in twenty two years, 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.360 but they've only played there like twice. I would guess, yeah, 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:41.360 because something weird happened and I don't know why, but 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.600 something weird happened in the two thousand and nine I think, 0:07:44.600 --> 0:07:47.120 I actually, I do know the answer to that, which 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:50.520 something to do with baseball. No, when the Rams played 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.880 in Saint Louis, there was some kind of rule that 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:57.080 teams weren't allowed to go to Seattle in Oaklands in 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.440 the same year or something like that, and so a 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.960 whole bunch of stuff got shuffled around to keep teams 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.520 from having to take you know, so many long long 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.800 road trips. I got you. It affected the Cowboys. The 0:08:07.840 --> 0:08:11.000 Cowboys I mean because because they played Kansas City in 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.040 two thousand and nine and with the miles ofsting game 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.520 and then twenty thirteen and Oakland played in two thousand 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.560 and nine and thirteen at home. Both of those games 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:23.120 were Thanksgiving Day games. So it somehow they haven't played 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:27.800 in Oakland since two thousand and five, A great game, 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.800 by the way. Well, no, I was gonna say, it's 0:08:31.920 --> 0:08:35.199 very difficult. It's gonna be Oh hell, I mean, it's 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:39.360 past their control at this I mean, it's been past 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:42.400 their control. If they win all the games, you can 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.280 really control what the other teams. That's right, You're right. 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.720 At this point, they do not control their own destiny. 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.440 I don't think you would say that. No, no, because 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.760 if everyone, if it falls right, that you need all 0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.520 these brands. But I guess you know not yet. But 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.440 I mean I'm sure if he gets down to it. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.280 I think if they win this game, you know, I 0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:05.200 think if if they win this game and they win 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:08.160 and they go and beat Seattle, I would I would 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.800 imagine that if I still think they're gonna get in 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.440 at ten at six. If if this scenario has well, 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:16.599 it's gonna be fun because it's I mean, this is 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:18.880 why the NFL sets the schedule up this way like this. 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:21.440 The schedule is just backloaded with games that are going 0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:24.520 to determine this. I mean, Panthers play the Packers this week, 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:29.080 The Saints play the Falcons again, the Seahawks play the Rams. 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:31.400 So I mean you're talking three or four games that 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.520 are going to directly the lie. I think the Lions 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.200 play the Bears. That's not really very sexy, but but 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.000 they'll lose, maybe the Lions. The Lions want to lose. 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.840 I want to lose every game. Just teams don't always 0:09:41.880 --> 0:09:45.439 I don't take them seriously. I don't either. Sorry, Detroit 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.559 Lions fans that might be listening, but um, but yeah, 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:52.400 so I mean this stuff is all, oh no, I'm sorry, 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:58.320 Lanta plays Tampa, right, and then sheet had that sheet schedule. 0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:02.960 It's okay, okay, Um, we're talking about Seattle. You know 0:10:03.000 --> 0:10:05.520 what the thing with Seattle is, they're they're pretty much 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.960 taken care of right from the Cowboys standpoint. They lost 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:09.720 that one game, lost the game they need to and 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.240 so so now if the Cowboys went out, Seattle is 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:16.240 not really not really worried about Seattle. No, because if this, 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:18.360 if the Cowboys beat the Seahawks, that would drop them 0:10:18.360 --> 0:10:20.160 to six losses and you have head to head as 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.480 long as you went out. Yeah that In fact, you know, 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:24.719 everyone keeps talking about Atlanta, how you have to get 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.080 two games up on Atlanta. But I've said, I feel 0:10:27.120 --> 0:10:29.080 like I've said this a thousand times. If you can 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.800 get into a three way tie, and let's say Seattle 0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:34.520 is one of them, Atlanta Seattle, and I don't know 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.400 did they play if they play that, Blanta and Seattle 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.400 did play plan to win? I don't remember a lot 0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.600 better Seattle won. I don't remember if the time, because 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:44.200 I'm telling the Cowboys are going to have a pretty 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:45.840 good record in a division. They're gonna be eight and 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.400 four in the conference, and that that's gonna help them. 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.480 There's not There's gonna be some teams with with a 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.080 record worse than that. Yeah, those two losses in the 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.000 AFC are gonna come out to be pretty good, it really. 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:58.720 I mean look at us just talking like it's gonna 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.880 be ten and six, like without a doubts you have 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.320 to to even entertain the thought of making the playoffs. Yeah, 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:09.960 I mean, if I had to bet on it right now, 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:12.880 I don't. I don't know that I think that they'll 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:14.520 get there. I don't know that I think that they'll 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.480 win all three of these games. But like I said yesterday, 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.600 you only have to win one before the whole dynamic changes. 0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.760 I mean, this is a completely different team with Ezekiel 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:24.920 ellis right, And that's that's what I think that we're forgetting. 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:28.200 Sometimes we're kind of we got, you know, knee deep 0:11:28.240 --> 0:11:31.840 into this funk of November, and that's like this team's 0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:35.320 not very good, and well, right, that team wasn't very good. 0:11:35.720 --> 0:11:39.559 The team that didn't have Zeke didn't. I mean, we 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:42.480 know who are the three best, the three most valuable 0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:44.559 players on the team are, Like, we know who they 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.760 are now, there's no doubt that Zeke, it's Tyrans Sean 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:52.640 Lee and you don't have them in Atlanta get thrashed. Yep, 0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:55.360 you don't. Tyr did not come back in Philly, right, No, 0:11:56.280 --> 0:12:03.720 how many games do they lose with Zeke here? I 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.480 don't know'll be It'll be tough even with him coming back. 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.000 I mean, the one thing that this team hasn't been 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:12.680 good at this season is consistency. It's hard to see 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.000 them winning out all this game back to back, back 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.920 to back if they haven't been able to be consistent 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:22.560 all season. I agree with that. Yeah, but you know 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:24.760 they did. They had everybody when they got their doors 0:12:24.760 --> 0:12:27.400 blown off in Denver. That's true, had everybody. That's true. 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.120 That's the one game, and you can go back to 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:34.120 many years and just this one game. That's just it 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.199 makes no sense. There's nothing about that game that makes 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:40.439 any sense at all. The Denver Denver sucks. They're a 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:43.800 really bad football team. Forty nine, I think, yeah, And 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:47.440 I don't know what it was about the game. I'm 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:50.280 gonna be a believer in that. I'm gonna believer. I mean, 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.560 what else is lame on? The lame it on the 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.680 lightning delay, I don't know. I mean, blame it on 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:59.440 the rain. We always so it is. We always joke 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:03.040 about like like eighty yards is a bad day for 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:10.480 Ezekiel Elliott and he had eight that day, eight eight yards. 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.560 But no, I mean like it's a it's a good 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:16.400 point amber and that's you know, they think that they 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:19.120 they did get they did win three in a row. 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:24.200 They did, and they also lost three in a row. Streaky. 0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:27.120 I mean, you can't but that. The thing that scares 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.120 me going into this Oakland game is you can't just 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:31.840 throw that out because that's the team. I mean, I 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:33.560 know they have Sean Lee. I know they have Sean 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:36.959 Lee and that makes a difference. And Hitchins they're defeated. 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.440 They are four no when they both play. But you know, 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.880 I don't know how much stock do you put in 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:47.520 to two convincing wins against teams New York? Was it 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.120 became a good win? I don't know if convincing is 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:53.000 the right word. Like convincing you should probably dominate from 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.440 beginning to end and that's definitely not what happened in 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.720 New York on Sunday. I just I just think it's 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:02.280 it goes just another example. Just don't beat yourself. Just 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.679 just you know, make sure that you take care of 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.400 the ball, take care of what you need to do, 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:09.760 and by the end of the game, you should be 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.240 winning these games. Now, they don't have another team on 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.679 the schedule like that though. There's not anybody that you're 0:14:14.720 --> 0:14:18.839 just heading shoulders better than talent wise, That's what and 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:20.920 that's the thing that bothers me. Yeah, I mean, you're 0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.040 going on the road to play and like I said, 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:25.760 I think I said this yesterday too. Like Oakland is 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.120 probably even more disappointed with the way their season has 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.640 gone than the Cowboys are because they didn't have the 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:33.320 suspension or any of that type of stuff. They got 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:37.280 their MVP caliber quarterback back, and it's just been bad 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.160 for them. I mean, they're six and seven, they're five 0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:43.440 and six in the AFC, which is not the AFC's week. 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.760 It looks like they're two and three in the division 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.680 and the division isn't as strong as it looked when 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:51.960 the season started. But I mean they still have Beast 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:54.560 mode cars still there. I don't know what's going on 0:14:54.600 --> 0:14:58.920 with Cooper, but Jared Cook, who Cowboys fans should remember, 0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.600 is there like this is this is a better team 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:03.600 than the two that the Cowboys have beaten the last 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.000 two weeks. You know, in last night's game, if it 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:09.120 proved anything, it just shows that, you know, the teams 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.800 that are that are still fighting, that are hungry. How 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.400 about that? How about my guide? How about that Amber? 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:19.320 Can you believe that? Can you believe what happened last night? Nope? 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:22.040 I cannot is You're just speechless. You don't even want 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:29.200 to talk about how about that Jay, Jay freaking Cutler, 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.560 like probably one of the best three games of his career. Honestly, 0:15:32.760 --> 0:15:36.240 can you think about it? Yeah, outdueled Tom Brady. Their 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:40.120 defense just beat him up. Yeah, hey your guy Xavien Howard. 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:44.760 Nice day. All right. Well, now we that we've discussed 0:15:44.760 --> 0:15:48.040 all that, it would be very, very tough for the Cowboys, 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:52.640 but the possibility is still out there. So I'm it's 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:54.840 it's a tough it's a tough hill to climb, and 0:15:54.880 --> 0:15:57.320 it's a total cliche, but like it really is as 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:00.160 easy as just thinking about this Oakland game, Like you 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:03.240 really can't get day by day. I mean at least 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.520 week by week. You don't have to go Wednesday, Thursday, 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.360 Friday like Garrett likes to do. But like, if you 0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.880 can win this game, then there's every reason to hope 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:14.520 that the last two weeks will look nothing like what 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:16.840 we've seen over the last six you know, like I mean, 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:19.480 if you can just compartmentalize it and not worry about it. 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:21.880 And the other nice thing I thought about this too. 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:25.120 I think the Falcons play on Monday night this week, 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:28.120 but you're playing Sunday nights, so you'll get to sit 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:30.880 back and watch and see, you know, all these other 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:32.720 games as they happen. So like by the time the 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.600 Cowboys kick off on Sunday night this week, you'll have 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:37.840 a pretty good idea of who has helped you and 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.880 who hasn't. So can you please ask Jason Garrett that 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:45.160 in the press conference? So, coach, you're getting ready on Sunday, 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:46.840 like you think like you'll kind of have an eye 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:50.960 on the TVs. Well, the players know what that we're 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:52.600 just gonna take it day by day. That would go 0:16:52.640 --> 0:16:56.160 over well, oh man, he's gonna give you, yeah, he'll 0:16:56.160 --> 0:17:00.360 give you that smile. I think he'd give you. They 0:17:01.120 --> 0:17:05.240 don't know how to calculated all of our decisions are Hey, whatever, 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:07.840 that might be awkward. Did you see Belichick's post game 0:17:07.920 --> 0:17:12.199 last night? Yes, that was brutal. Yep, I'm glad I 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:15.520 don't have to deal with that every week. Yeah, that 0:17:15.640 --> 0:17:18.040 was just But but I think my point to that 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:23.040 is is that you know, the Dolphins are still alive, right, yeah, theoretically, 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:25.560 I mean, they'll hanging in there. They're they're there somewhere. 0:17:25.600 --> 0:17:27.760 So Oakland is still hanging in there. I mean, that's 0:17:27.760 --> 0:17:30.040 the thing. And that's what the Cowboys are still are 0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:32.920 hanging in there. That that's why these these games are tough. 0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:35.720 I mean, the playoffs have have begun for some of 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.600 these teams, Miami being one of them, the Cowboys or another. 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.800 Oakland now is another one. And you know, Seattle might 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.280 begin to that mode too, where it's going to be 0:17:43.320 --> 0:17:45.840 a desperate game. That Christmas Eve game is gonna be fun. 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:49.240 I mean there's only there's oh first of all, yeah, 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:52.719 but okay, the Eagles have clinched their playoff spot, and 0:17:52.840 --> 0:17:55.440 I guess maybe the Falcons probably I mean, sorry, the 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:57.399 Vikings feel pretty good that they're going to make the 0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.000 playoffs everybody else. It's like, I mean, that's the same. 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:03.200 They're nine and four and they have no breathing room whatsoever. 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:08.560 There's no way that the Eagles will be clinched anything, right, 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.760 Definitely not true. They can clinch hall. They can at 0:18:11.840 --> 0:18:14.560 least clinch a bye this week, if not home field 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:19.400 throughout this week. Yeah, how because they are eleven and three, 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:22.879 eleven and two. They're eleven and two. Yeah, they're be 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:26.280 twelve and two. I don't know, but you think that 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:28.520 they if they win, they get at least to buy 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:30.760 I know, because yeah, because then the only team that 0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:34.280 can be better than them is Minnesota with three losses, 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:36.199 because and that loss to the that loss to the 0:18:36.240 --> 0:18:39.159 Chiefs is big for them, right, because that means they 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.560 don't they're in pretty I mean all right, they're not 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:43.879 in great shape because they don't have their quarterback, but 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:46.040 they're in pretty good shape as far as making the 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.439 playoffs go. All right, guys, we're gonna go ahead and 0:18:48.440 --> 0:18:50.239 take our first break.
