Another big week in the NFL, How the Boss? 8 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: It was the best set of early games all season, 9 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: not even close. Really, Yeah, I just called it. What 10 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: jumped out to you is you know what made it 11 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: so special? Good games? Packers, Panthers, Raiders, Steelers, meaningful games, 12 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: Vikings Rams was a close one, Bills off. You know 13 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: a lot of games that had meaning. Perhaps you're forgetting 14 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: Week three a great early got a side of a 15 00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: Dan there, very strong week. I'll never forget the Week 16 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: three slate, West, how you doing good? Good for the 17 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: first time in history? Three eight no teams? That is 18 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: that's historic? Also historic. There's another downstairs in the newsroom. 19 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: There's another bald white that was wearing the same pullover 20 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: sweatshirt as West Beefy Baldy, and they looked like brothers, 21 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: and you have seven brothers, so six Jason Hartilius could 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 1: be a Westling. It was impressive. I was like ten 23 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: ft away and I don't have good eyesight. I was like, oh, 24 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: west is coming over to get some Italian dinner or no, 25 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: it was Jason. Yes. So coming up on today's show, 26 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: we have, of course, the Panthers remain undefeated, and they 27 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: did it in very impressive fashion by taking down the Packers. 28 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: So there's a lot to unpack their unpacked Packers. I'm 29 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: the host nailed it. Big Ben injured again, the Steelers 30 00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: dealing with more injury woes, so we will get into 31 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 1: that unpacked that situation in Pittsburgh and the Buffalo Bills 32 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: one of the teams that we forked, and you know this, 33 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: this whole thing with the fork. They they're back at 34 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: five hundred after wasting the Dolphins this day with the fork. 35 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if we should do it anymore because 36 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: we were not of us feel confident, like, for instance, 37 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: we would all take back forking the Bills and the 38 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,079 Speaker 1: and the Raiders, and I'm sure there's another team out 39 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 1: there that could make us look silly. That's something we 40 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: need to get together maybe over Danish and bagels and 41 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 1: coffee there for Tuesday's show. This is but it's just 42 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: it's backing up Greg's point that we were being too 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 1: you know, audacious with some of our forkings, and you're 44 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: simply just proving the boss right. So you know, it's like, 45 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm not like trying to stick it to Greg. If 46 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: Greg was making a good point. I know with you 47 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 1: you don't want to give Greg any credit, but I'm 48 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: just giving Greg credit. May actually, well, are we gonna 49 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: do this again? Credit? Last the last podcast was the 50 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,839 Speaker 1: credit podcast. That was one before that, in the previous one. 51 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: So anyway, yes, the fork we'll talk about that on 52 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: Tuesday's show, our final four conversation at least in terms 53 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: of forking teams. So that's all coming up in a 54 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: big show. I feel good. It was excited. Oh yeah, 55 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: all right, let's do Let's talk some football, and let's 56 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: start with Carolina and Green Bay and Cam Newton throws 57 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 1: three touchdown passes runs for another score and the Carolina 58 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: Panthers can you believe it? Can you believe it? Eight no? 59 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: With a thirty nine win over the Green Bay Packers, 60 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: who have now lost two straight Mark Sessler, nobody should 61 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 1: be doubting the Panthers as a Super Bowl contender at 62 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,240 Speaker 1: the taking down the Packers and the Seahawks right couldn't 63 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,359 Speaker 1: agree more. I mean, I think that they keep proving 64 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 1: week after week that whatever comes out than whatever type 65 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: of team it is, they'll surprise you over and over. 66 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: I mean their offense that we I kind of ruled 67 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: this Panthers offense out when Kelvin Benjamin was gone, and 68 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: what they're doing not just running the ball but through 69 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: the air today was incredibly impressive. Cam Newton through a 70 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: late pick that nearly would have turned the narrative of 71 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: this game completely on its ass, But honestly, what he 72 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: did previous to that was some of the most aggressive 73 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: passing we've seen from the Panthers this year. Two passes 74 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: of fifty plus yards, another one thirty nine yard for 75 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: a touchdown. He he made this Green Bay defense, which 76 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: has given up five hundred yards two games in a row, 77 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: look desperate. The Packers getting boat raced by the Broncos 78 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: and then for the first half of this game for 79 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: sixth straight quarters is one of the most surprising things 80 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: I think to happen this year. Not just that they're 81 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: getting beat they're playing good teams, good defenses, but that 82 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: it wasn't remotely competitive. Of course, they did, you know, 83 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: make a good comeback in this at one point, they 84 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: did come back. You know in NFL medium Sary and 85 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 1: Rappaport noted before the game that there was issues in 86 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 1: Green Bay with their passing game and they wanted to 87 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 1: go less aggressive and start throwing more methodical short routes. 88 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: And we saw that early and it didn't work at all. 89 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: It didn't. It was almost like Rogers just didn't trust 90 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 1: the receivers that he has out there. Second half, they 91 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: got going and they just went back to what they 92 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: do with him at quarterback and they made a game 93 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: of this. It was very concerning for Carolina Lake. We 94 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 1: have some video on the sideline the Packers. This kind 95 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: of tells you a little bit about the frustration. Do 96 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: we have that tat um the frustration. You can watch us, 97 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: of course on YouTube. Every Sunday show is on YouTube. 98 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: Check that out. But b J Rajie haha, Clinton Dix 99 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: get get into it on the sidelines um at one 100 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: point and it just shows the frustration bubbling over. I 101 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 1: think there was a feeling especially in the early part 102 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 1: of the season that this was gonna be one of 103 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: those Packers seasons where they roll into fourteen and two 104 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, they 105 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: hit this choppy water. The offensive line was just as 106 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: much of a problem as the receivers have been made 107 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,280 Speaker 1: out to be. Rogers got hit what fourteen times today? Yep, 108 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: sacks five times, and I mean if it wasn't for 109 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: his completely stellar footwork in the way he is able 110 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 1: to escape the rush, he would have been sacked nine times. Well, 111 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: you talked about Cam Newton going down the field. If 112 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: he's sitting vertical print plays the funches and Jericho Cottrie, 113 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: which I wouldn't necessarily expect each week. I mean, then 114 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: this team can win a Super Bowl. I mean that 115 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: is that is the thing that would hold this team back. Theoretically, 116 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: I think they're good enough to get the number one 117 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: seed in the NFC, certainly contend for a Super Bowl. 118 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: They're now two games up on the field. But if 119 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: they start getting that passing game going consistently, I mean, 120 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,599 Speaker 1: they have everything and they only needed Jonathan Steward hit 121 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: about sixty yards and it wasn't we just have a 122 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 1: one dimensional run based attack. Newton killed him with his feet. 123 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: Stewart did just enough. They trust Steward on long third 124 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: downs to give him the ball and he converted. But 125 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,559 Speaker 1: you're right, it was the passing game and Newton's trust 126 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 1: of his receivers. I mean he throwing ball forty yards 127 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: through the air and trusting his receivers to make the catch. 128 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: The point of attack, I mean Devin Funchis, who had 129 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: given them nothing really this season to this point. If 130 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 1: he becomes a player on this offense, and then you 131 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: have Greg Olsen and Jonathan Stewart, Jonathan Stewart's running, well, 132 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna score enough points. And I mean there for real, 133 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: ain't no how can you doubt them to this point? Well, 134 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: I almost want to see was this Green Bay's defense 135 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: because they looked that bad and look against against offenses 136 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: that aren't known to light people up. What happened the 137 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: game before that? That was Philip Rivers. Game Mark made 138 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: a good point in the news room about the Panthers 139 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: stability as an organization. They could have easily fired Ron 140 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: Rivera after a year or two. Instead, they gave him 141 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: an extension. And if you look at the three undefeated teams. 142 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: Belichick and Marvin Lewis are the two longest tenured coaches 143 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: in the league. They've got to combine twenty nine years. 144 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera has been in Carolina for five years. They 145 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: gave him an extension. I think there's a lot to 146 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,239 Speaker 1: be said for that stability. Is it crazy to start 147 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: thinking about sixteen and oh for the Panthers, because if 148 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 1: you look at their schedule, I think the odds are 149 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: of course they're gonna get picked off one of these weeks. 150 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: But if you look at their schedule, there isn't a 151 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: single particularly hard game left on it. There's not a 152 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: game where they're not going to be favored significantly added. 153 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: You know, the Falcons no longer looks like that tough 154 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: of a game. They gotta sweep and that stuff. You 155 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: gotta go to New Orleans. That's not necessarily easy, but 156 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: there are there are no great teams left on this 157 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: Carolina schedule. So even if they don't go to sixty, no, 158 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: maybe they could threaten it. And if they don't go 159 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: fourteen and two, I'd be stunned. They're gonna get that. 160 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,239 Speaker 1: I think if and this is a credit to the Panthers, 161 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: not taking it away like they could easily be five 162 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: and three right now. They've been games where they they 163 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: they've been outplayed or things broke the right way at 164 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: the end of the game where they made the play 165 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,000 Speaker 1: to win the game. So this has been very different. 166 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: Like when they talk about the Patriots at eight now, 167 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: I feel differently like I have to think they have 168 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: a real shot at it, but I think the Panthers 169 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: will have some weeks where they because they can get 170 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: picked up by most teams that are averaging better. Right 171 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: I don't think they're a dominant team. I think it 172 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: came into the year they're having to figure out who 173 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: they were on offense, especially, and I don't for me, 174 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: I don't care if they go sixteen and know they're 175 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: in pole position just to have home field throughout the playoffs, 176 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: which would be completely unexpected for this team. As great 177 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 1: as Cam Newton has been this year, we all know 178 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: he's one of the most things consistent passers in the league. 179 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me at all if he just has 180 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 1: a bad game and they lose. Did you guys hear 181 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: about Bannergate? Yes, yes, we did, not to use the 182 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 1: word game to listen any longer when it comes to controversial, 183 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: Mark and Greg and I exchange the heated debate about 184 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: this subject before you entered the Well, let me just 185 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: fill in the listeners first. That banner gate occurred when 186 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: Cam Newton was stretching before this game on Sunday and 187 00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 1: saw a Packers fan hanging up a banner at Bank 188 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: of America Stadium that said, you know, it was like 189 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: Packard Country in North Carolina. Ripped a banner down, and 190 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: the fan who had paid five hundred dollars to make 191 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: that banner and was planning to hang it in his 192 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,199 Speaker 1: man room quote unquote reported it to the local authorities 193 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: and Panthers officials. Now, what were you saying? That's ridiculous. 194 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: I think things Cam Newton should be allowed to go 195 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: out and break whatever you want. Ever care care about 196 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: the smallest things. If you spend five dollars on a sign, 197 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: you deserve to lose that money. That's ridiculous. What Greg 198 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: said to west Night before you appeared in the room 199 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 1: was said, I don't care about the working person. Well, 200 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,199 Speaker 1: Greg's not a regular, That's the thing. Hey, here's what 201 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: regular Joe's do they spend five hundred dollars on a 202 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 1: silly sign. That's the regular that the psychopath it was 203 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,559 Speaker 1: the tailgate with it and then put in kind of 204 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: scratch line and then that you strug to put yourself 205 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: in the mind of the average man. No, I am 206 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,480 Speaker 1: the average man, but I don't think it's some huge 207 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,599 Speaker 1: deal in cam Newton should be castigated for it, but 208 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 1: he should have to. The Panthers should reimburse this guy's 209 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: Apparently the Panthers did intimate that to the man that 210 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,559 Speaker 1: they'll take care of him. But you know, ken a 211 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 1: multimillion dollar corporation, the Carolina Panthers can can they float 212 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: five dollars for a sign? And you know this isn't 213 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,440 Speaker 1: Camp's first time stealing things. I'm just gonna say there's 214 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 1: a history, alright, Sticky fingers Newton they call him. So 215 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: Carolina remains unbeaten. How about the Denver Broncos. Uh Andrew 216 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 1: Luck picked a great time to return to form on Sunday, 217 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: throwing for two fifty two yards and a touchdown and 218 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: two touchdowns and win, knocking the Broncos from the ranks 219 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,360 Speaker 1: of the unbeaten Chris Westling. This game was supposed to 220 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: be all about Peyton Manning setting records. Instead, the real 221 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck returned. Yeah, the Broncos are actually kind of 222 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: lucky they were in this game. They got a long 223 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 1: punt return as time expired going into halftime to get 224 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 1: on the board, and then Peyton Manning hit Emmanuel Sanders 225 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: with a sixty four yard touched down a third quarter. 226 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: Outside of those two plays, the Colts just absolutely dominated 227 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: the first three the first three quarters. Andrew Luck looked 228 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: this was easily his best game of the year. Well, 229 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 1: Denver came out a halftime, put together a big drive, 230 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: tied the game in the middle of the third quarter, 231 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 1: and at that point they had all the momentum in 232 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: the world. If that's a thing that exists, and you 233 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: just got the better team is gonna, you know, stand 234 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: up here, and that was the team. That was a 235 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: spot where I thought the Colts were gonna absolutely roll over, 236 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: and instead they respond with a great drive against the 237 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: defense we've been calling the best in the league. And 238 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: then they do it again at the end of the game, 239 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: a six minute drive to end the game. You know, 240 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,079 Speaker 1: you hear about a four minute offense often in the 241 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: NFL try to kill the clock, and in the game 242 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: they killed six minutes and three of the Broncos time outs. 243 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: That's one of the best drives I once had all year. 244 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: Two words Rob Chatzynski. Yeah, and I was wondering downstairs, 245 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 1: how long do it take from Mark to spin it 246 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: back to an o C. So you're saying all of 247 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: this is because Rob chat Zynski got promoted Andrew Luck 248 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: now great again all for chud Well. In Mark's defense, 249 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: the wide receivers were more open. If you've been watching 250 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: the Cools this year, you know that one of the 251 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: reasons Luck's been holding the balls because the wide receivers 252 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: aren't separating. They got open against a very the best 253 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,160 Speaker 1: secondary in the league, or one of the best secondaries 254 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 1: in the league. Well, keep to lead, very good cornerback, 255 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 1: not so good with his actions at the end of 256 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: the game. They would have had a chance to get 257 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: the ball back and he sticks his fingers. That was 258 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: pretty good though, And old school I gouge. You don't 259 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: see much of those anymore, like mo from the Three Stooges. Yeah, exactly, 260 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: nice Three Stooges reference. I like it right. You don't 261 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: see it a lot though, And and and to top 262 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: it off, it was like reminded me of like an 263 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: old eighties wrestling thing when someone would rake Hulk Hogan's 264 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: eyes and then Hogan to be like feeling around idea 265 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,719 Speaker 1: now and sold it pretty well as well. Well, that's 266 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 1: what it came to. Leap said after the game, you 267 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: would have thought that he was in a sixteen car 268 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: accident the way he reacted. Dwayne Allen that was after them, 269 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 1: that that did cost him a chance. It did prevent 270 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 1: what would have been the most like anti climactic moment 271 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: of the day was Peyton Manning was about to get 272 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 1: back out on the field throw a pass completed and 273 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: he would have broken the passing yards record. Then he 274 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: was only three yards short in a meaningless moment where 275 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: they had really no right another week of this breaking 276 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: records for Peyton Manning chatter do we have to write 277 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 1: more material on this now because it's going Yeah. I 278 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: had already written the one for breaking it this week, 279 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 1: so now we're gonna have to pre write one for 280 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:38,160 Speaker 1: next week. At least we know what will happen at 281 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: the beginning of the game. That doesn't really matter. I'm 282 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 1: more I'm more concerned about the long term stuff here 283 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: for the Colts. I mean, does this mean we think 284 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: we feel pretty safe having forked the rest of the well, 285 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: we haven't forked the Titans. Yet. By the way, I 286 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 1: called them a bad, bad football team because they played 287 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: like a bad, bad football team. But they were a 288 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: pretty good team today. They looked pretty well rounded. They 289 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: lost Mike Adams to an ankle injury and Henry Anderson, 290 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 1: the really good rookie pensive end, to a knee injury. 291 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,559 Speaker 1: What to see how serious those are, But those two 292 00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: guys have been probably two of the three or four 293 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: best defensive players. If you even get Luck at you know, 294 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 1: mid tier between this game and some of the others, 295 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,560 Speaker 1: are gonna win this division easy. Yeah. It is crazy though, 296 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: because Monday night Andrew Luck was really appalling at times. 297 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: And this Andrew Luck was the guy that we remembered 298 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: from last year and the year before that. I mean, 299 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: it was the first time, the first time all year, 300 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: even going back to Week one, it's the first time 301 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: all year that I've thought Andrew Luck looked like the 302 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck were used to see. You know, It's a 303 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: big difference is he's made so many bad decisions of 304 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: of when to run or or won't even run throughout 305 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 1: the season and he was great today on the last 306 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: two quarters against the Panthers, he was Yeah, he was 307 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: phenomenal with his legs to the how about Peyton Manning. 308 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 1: The response last week after he had that big game 309 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: was like, Okay, maybe Peyton Manning's coming back all the 310 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: way this year. His arm looked fine, looked better than 311 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: it did in the first seven weeks. But the first 312 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 1: half looked a lot like the playoff loss, where he's 313 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: just throwing over and over again downfield and not connecting 314 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 1: on anything. He came came alive a little bit in 315 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: the second half, but still through like the game ceiling 316 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: interception to Darius Butler. All right, let's get into talk 317 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 1: of two more a f C playoff contenders. Uh Antonio Brown. 318 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 1: Brown went off on Sunday seventeen catches two and eighty 319 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: four yards. Again, Mark, this is you and your brother 320 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: dueling and super techmo Bowl back in one. That's the 321 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: type of production we're talking abouts. She destroyed your brother. Now. Actually, 322 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: you know I'm gonna hear from at some point because 323 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: he listens to the show Bowl player against me. Antonio 324 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 1: Brown goes seventeen two eight four excuse me, no touchdowns? 325 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: You stink, but it didn't matter. He led the Steelers 326 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: to a thirty thirty five win over the Oakland Raiders 327 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: game that came down to a field goal of the gun, 328 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: So a big rin for the Steelers, but Greg Nice win. 329 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 1: Steelers get it done, tempered though by another huge injury 330 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: to one of their key players, their most important player, 331 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 1: and Roethlisberger is out with a mid foot spring. Is 332 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 1: what Albert Brier is reporting for us. It's supposed to 333 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: came out a couple of weeks. They have the Browns 334 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: this week in Pittsburgh and then they have a by 335 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: So if you were creating a scenario of when to 336 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 1: have a multiple week injury, this is it because they 337 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 1: can possibly win that game against the Browns. I don't 338 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: think it's a possible run. Well, you know, Landry Jones 339 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: will be starting, and then you get a week off. 340 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: Maybe you get Roethlisberger back after that and if they 341 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: make the playoffs there five and four. Now, these two 342 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: games where they had their backup quarterback come in and 343 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: win at the end, it was Michael Vick against the 344 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: Rams and now Landry Jones against the Raiders could be 345 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: the difference of them making the playoffs. The Raiders came 346 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: back and they tied this game, but it was Landry 347 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,360 Speaker 1: Jones who basically just did what Ben Roethlisberger did all day. 348 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: Got the ball to Antonio Brown and let Antonio Brown 349 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: do the best they can direct snap the ball to 350 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 1: Heath Miller next week and beat the Browns. I mean, 351 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 1: it was one of the most amazing two person performances, 352 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: maybe the most in NFL history. Antonio Brown had four 353 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: D'Angelo Williams uh was in well over a hundred. They 354 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: combined for five hundred and thirty one totally yards from scrimmains. 355 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,399 Speaker 1: That's the most in NFL history from two people. Are 356 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: you just saying that Levy on Bella is is basically 357 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,440 Speaker 1: a system back? No? I mean you saying that the 358 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 1: Raiders secondary is trash. The Raiders secondary is gonna prevent 359 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,719 Speaker 1: them from making the playoffs. I think in the end, 360 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: I think that's what's gonna keep them. They have a chance. 361 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: Their offenses did they have guarding Antonio Brown DJ Hayden 362 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: Early and then Emerson Lamerson D J Hayden. Hayden got 363 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,880 Speaker 1: hurt in the game, so that didn't help. I guess 364 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: that doesn't help. But because he's not very good either. 365 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: Charles Woodson gave up a lot of big plays. You 366 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: can shut up about your Charles Woodson for Defensive Player 367 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: of the Year, a lot of throws going over his head. 368 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,239 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown would have had another sixty yards if Ben 369 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: Roethlisberger had hit him on a wide open deep players. 370 00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 1: People only watching the highlights have Charles Woodson and the keep. 371 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: There's Charles Woodson you're watching on YouTube getting out running well. 372 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 1: The hero worship of Charles Woodson and a great career, 373 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: and he's going into the camp. He's going into the hall. 374 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: But like people talking him up as a Defense Player 375 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: of the Year, it's got so out of control. On 376 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: that last Antonio Brown reception that basically put the game away, 377 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: Dan Foults on the CBS broadcast is like bellowings like, 378 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: oh and look who comes and gets them Charles Woodson 379 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: Like that, then you're giving him, You're trying to give 380 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: him more credit for getting beat on the sixty yard reception. 381 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: I feel bad now that we're piloting on Charles with it. 382 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: He's legitimately having a Pro Bowl season at the one 383 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 1: started it, but he he should not be in that 384 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: Greg if you're gonna start to finishing. We called their 385 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: secondary trash, but let's credit their offense. Two they didn't 386 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: have a single thirty yard game. They have four of 387 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 1: them this year. They were limited in a lot of 388 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: the game, especially the first half, by the Steelers defense, 389 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: which has been better. But what they do is when 390 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 1: they explode, it is fast. It's a forty yard run 391 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 1: by Latavius Murray, who also left this game with an 392 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 1: injury and did not return any concussion second in the 393 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: last ten or eleven months, and that was a big 394 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 1: loss late because he was He has looked great the 395 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. He's a true power back. But 396 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: when they suddenly score, it's in bunches. Michael Crabtree and 397 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: another Hunter, Derek Carr, some beautiful touch passes over the middle. 398 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: Very clutchy. Had his one bad throw the whole day 399 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: was an interception late in the game, but they got 400 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,400 Speaker 1: the ball back and then tied it up. He's gonna 401 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 1: get paid. They lost this game, and it's it was 402 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: a kind of a heartbreaking loss. But we've got will 403 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 1: behind the glass. Season Raiders fan. Shouldn't he feel hopeful 404 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: about what's happened? Yeah, I would be excited because you've 405 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 1: got a quarterback and everything starts to change. At this point. 406 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 1: Derek Carr is far ahead this season then the other 407 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: guys that have been drafted over the last three years. 408 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: I mean, he's far ahead of where Teddy Bridgewater or 409 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: Boardles or certainly anyone from the class before them, is 410 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,479 Speaker 1: moving on. The Buffalo Bills are back at five hundred 411 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 1: after Sammy Watkins enjoyed a career day a hundred and 412 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: sixty eight yards receiving and a touchdown in a thirty 413 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: three seventeen win over the Miami Dolphins in Orchard Park. Yes, 414 00:19:59,840 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: it is the end of the Dan Campbell honeymoon period. 415 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: The Dolphins now three and five, another team that we forked, 416 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 1: and this one feels good because I think the Dolphins 417 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: you could not you don't have to worry about a 418 00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 1: resurgence from them. They look like an obviously inferior team 419 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: all game. They are now oh and four of the 420 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: Dolphins are in the A f C East, and they've 421 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: been outscored one thirty seven to fifty two. When those loss, oh, 422 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 1: you shouldn't even be allowed to play the next two. 423 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 1: Kick him right out of the division. Relegation, and Dan 424 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,399 Speaker 1: Campbell made one of those decisions that sometimes having the 425 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: interim coach can backfire on you because their whole thing, 426 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: it's always like we're changing the culture around here. And 427 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: at the end of the first half they have it, 428 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,639 Speaker 1: you know, they're down nineteen to ten, nineteen seven, I believe, actually, 429 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: and they have it at the one yard line with 430 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,360 Speaker 1: two seconds to go, and Dan campbells like, oh, you're 431 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 1: gonna make a statement, and they go for it twice 432 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: past incomplete. They leave points on the field just kind 433 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: of it just it just shows that the Dolphins, the 434 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: one period of those two weeks against those bad teams 435 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: is over. And then on the Bills side of the ball, 436 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: this team is scary and I got the Jets, got 437 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: the Bills coming to the metal ends in four days. 438 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: This team, when it's healthy and Tyrod Taylor back in 439 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: the lineup, uh and Sammy Watkins looking like a guy 440 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,639 Speaker 1: that was worthy of the first round pick. Carlos Williams 441 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: and Lashawn McCoy both went over a hundred yards rushing. 442 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: McCoy especially. He kind of reminded me of two thousand 443 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: thirteen McCoy on his touchdown run and Tyrod Taylor did 444 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: not look affected by that mcl sprain. He moved well. 445 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: Put it all together. This team is an offensive team, 446 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: which is so crazy with Rex Ryan as the head coach. 447 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,440 Speaker 1: I guess why they were so frustrated up to the 448 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: Jaguars loss, a game that had you had all these 449 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: players on the field, they would have won hands down, 450 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: and that changed the complexion of their season. But that 451 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: to come back and take this thing today with Tyrod 452 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: Taylor as quarterback, we are stupid to have forked the 453 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,920 Speaker 1: Bills because I think this is a very interesting I 454 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: think when destin it was just last week. It wasn't 455 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,719 Speaker 1: long long ago. I mean last after the last game. 456 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: I was in London, so I don't take I'm not 457 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: gonna you know. I actually put it on your three 458 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: soil in Culver City at the time we were taping it, 459 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: Tech Well, well you were. You were eating Danish in 460 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: the corner, but not taking part in the discussion. Now 461 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: you know, I found out that it happened after and 462 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's shame on the three of you. 463 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 1: Will get through it. It was my fault. I should 464 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: not have allowed it to happen. I still think they 465 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: have an uphill battle to make the playoffs. But at 466 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: this point, as we're sitting here today, okay, it was 467 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: a tough loss for the Raiders, and you know the 468 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: Bills that lost to Jacksonville. They're tied for the last 469 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: playoff spot at four and four. Four losses is the 470 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: last playoff spot in the a f C. So this 471 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: race is just starting. Even a team like the Dolphins 472 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: can convince themselves they're in it because they're only one 473 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 1: lost behind. This podcast is mirrored the Bill season two 474 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 1: and the fact that we will be sky high on 475 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: the Bills saying how how stupid we were to count 476 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 1: them out and how loaded this team is, and then 477 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: they lay an egg and then we're down and Mark, 478 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: you're talking about maybe assassinating Rex Ryan, and we're talking 479 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: about how they can't put it together. They don't have 480 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: the right scheme, and the defense thinks maybe we should 481 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,120 Speaker 1: again take a deep breath before putting them in the playoffs. Agree, 482 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 1: because they have been inconsistent all year. I worked the 483 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: Bills for one reason, how to spite because you'reightful man, 484 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: Someone with a lot of influence on their coaching staff 485 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: thinks that DJ Manual might be better than Tyrod Taylor. 486 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: And if you think that, I'm sorry. I have over 487 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,199 Speaker 1: at this point that Hubbub is just utter nonsense. Yes, 488 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: that is over. He was eleven for twelve. Tyrod Teller 489 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: changed everything with this team. They went from in August 490 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 1: being a team that seemed like they would be an 491 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: also round team as they still we're gonna have the 492 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: quarterback problem to Taylor been looking like a guy. He 493 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: looks like the type of guy and he didn't throw 494 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: a lot of passes in this game. But the team 495 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 1: they just go with him. They they're an erratic team, 496 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: but they have shown greatness in their good games. They 497 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,919 Speaker 1: have dominated the games that they won, the two against 498 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 1: the Dolphins, the one against the Colts uh in Week one, certainly. 499 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: I mean when they're at their very best, you can 500 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: see there's a lot to be excited about. A lot 501 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: of talent. Sammy Watkins, by the way, looked really good 502 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: in this kime He ate Brent Grimes is lunch. He 503 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: had basically every yard that tailored through. I mean, I 504 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: think it was everything but thirteen or fourteen yards. It's 505 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,680 Speaker 1: pretty rare to see a guy with more receiving yards 506 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: than the team has net passing yards. That's almost impossible. 507 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:22,639 Speaker 1: Darn near. The stats are cool. Moving forward, the Minnesota 508 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 1: Vikings have moved into a first place tie in the 509 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 1: NFC North following win over the St. Louis Rams Chris 510 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 1: Wesley and this was supposed to be the big battle 511 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: between ap and tied Gurley, but neither player delivered the 512 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: signature game that we perhaps expected. What was this game 513 00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: really about? This was a Jeff Fisher fever dream, hide 514 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 1: the quarterback to bell cow running backs in good defense, 515 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 1: dirty hits, dirty hits, and ultimately a loss. It's Mike 516 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: Zimmer was livid. You could tell. During the game. Teddy 517 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 1: Bridgewater got hit late on the knee on one play 518 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,760 Speaker 1: that wasn't called, and then a few plays later, LaMarcus 519 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: Joyner leveled him right in the head when he was 520 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: sliding and Zimmer lost it. He knocked him unconscious in 521 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: the field. Bridgewater out with the concussion, and after the game, 522 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 1: this is what Mike Zimmer had to say, a very 523 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: angry Mike Zimmer. I would say, if we were on 524 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: the street, we probably would have a fright. I do 525 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 1: know that there's a history there. If they're defensive coordinator 526 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: I'll leave it at that, and the name of that 527 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, Chris Wesley, the only one in the league 528 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,439 Speaker 1: with a die goatee and a frosted tip in his hair. 529 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 1: Greg Williams giving Gregg's with a double g at the 530 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,800 Speaker 1: end of back the defensive coordinator of the bounty Gate 531 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: Saints team, and it led to a banishment from the 532 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: man on record is saying, if you get the head, 533 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: the body will die. Well literally, in fairness, this is 534 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,119 Speaker 1: a sliding play that if you watch it in full speed, 535 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: it doesn't look that crazy a little bit. You listen 536 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 1: to LaMarcus Joiner after the game, he said, my friend 537 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: my parents are friends with his parents. I grew up 538 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: my aisles away from him. The last thing in the 539 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: world I would ever want to do is to put 540 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater out of the game. Like I I wish 541 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: I didn't, you know, hit him in the head. It 542 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,680 Speaker 1: was just I was coming after him right when he flied. 543 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: And that's what it's a scary. Football is a scary game, 544 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,040 Speaker 1: Like I didn't see it as a vicious hit. I 545 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: think Zimmer's emotional in the moment right after the game 546 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,320 Speaker 1: because his quarterback literally is laid out in the field 547 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: unconscious for a moment and it hurts their team. But 548 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: to me, I I thought the reaction was a little 549 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 1: strong for what the play was. Well, it might have been. 550 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's the second week in a 551 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: row that we've seen someone knocked out cold on the 552 00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 1: field and watching Bridgewater going on the way that as 553 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 1: a fan just watching it, that was weird. You're gonna 554 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 1: you're gonna get mad because a couple of plays before 555 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: they hit him low, he was outside the pockets of it. 556 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: Actually wasn't a penalty. But so there's that and then 557 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: the Fisher reputation, and it's a quarterback. I mean, you 558 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: can understand why they get fired up. Greg Williams history, 559 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: that's what's got Zimmer fired up. Rodney Harrison on Sunday 560 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: Night Football's pregame show had a pretty nasty thing to 561 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 1: say about Jeff Fisher. He he referenced a game during 562 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 1: his career in which one of his Harrison's teammates got 563 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 1: laid out and seriously in Journey looked up and said 564 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: he saw Jeff Fisher laughing on the opposing sideline. Jeff 565 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: Fisher has a reputation, among other coaches and people that 566 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: these teams, you know, played to the edge or their 567 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,399 Speaker 1: dirty teams, and they were dirty with O'Dell Beckham at 568 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: the end of last year the Rams, they'll lose this 569 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: game and the Vikings continue to win these ugly games 570 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 1: by three points. I swear they're the least impressive six 571 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: and two teams possible, But now they're tied for the 572 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: NFC North lead with their schedule is outrageous coming up. Yeah, 573 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: if they are both the Packers and Vikings both six 574 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: and two, But does anyone sitting here to think that 575 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 1: the Packers have any chance of not winning this division? Stuff? 576 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: They got to get their stuff together there. They haven't 577 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: played well, but it's it's yeah, it's the way I 578 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: feel about the Carolina Panthers too, with the consistency when 579 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,400 Speaker 1: you start having the same staff, same quarterback, same offensive 580 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: players around year after year. Don't we trust Green Bay 581 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: to get back on track the Vikings? There's no track 582 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 1: for heard this? So what did you see from Peterson 583 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: and Gurley today? The longest run was sixteen yards between 584 00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,639 Speaker 1: the two of them. Defenses were stacking the boxes, of course, 585 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:13,320 Speaker 1: because it's Teddy Bridgewater and Nick fools and Linball. Joseph 586 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 1: for the Vikings needs to be in the Pro Bowl 587 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 1: this year, having a great year. Last week or the 588 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 1: week before that, Zimmer said that he is the best 589 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 1: nose tackle he's ever coached, and he was a big 590 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: reason why Gurley was basically bottled up. He's been huge 591 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: really all year for them. I mean, they have a 592 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: they have a defense that you don't get excited about 593 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,679 Speaker 1: individual players. I wouldn't even see Everson Griffin's having one 594 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 1: of his best season. Xavier Rhodes is certainly not having 595 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:41,920 Speaker 1: been great. Harrison Anthony Barr is very good. Yeah, and 596 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: then they get it done week after week. And then 597 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: then the Rams offense this they're the worst third third 598 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 1: down offense in football. They have four conversions in our 599 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:56,719 Speaker 1: last three games combined. Four There whole offenses runs to Gurley, Gadget, 600 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 1: plays to Austin and then fakes to Girley in Austin 601 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: to set and then occasional body they'll hit. They'll hit 602 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 1: one to Britt or Brian Quick once a game or so, 603 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: and I think they did. But everything's based off of 604 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 1: Girly in Austin and their misdirection and play fakes there 605 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: moving forward Blaine Gabbett made the most of his starting 606 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 1: opportunity for the forty Niners, throwing for a hundred and 607 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: eighty five yards and two touchdowns to lead San Francisco 608 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 1: to a seventeen sixteen win over the Yeah, I said it, 609 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 1: fading Atlanta Falcons. Greg, The Falcons have lost three or 610 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,920 Speaker 1: four now after old statement there well, I also speaking 611 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: of bold statement in our story last week on the 612 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: old NFL dot Com predict that they're gonna miss the playoffs. 613 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: And I did not think they were gonna blow this game, 614 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:43,200 Speaker 1: but they did. Is a panic time in a town. Greg. Yeah, 615 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: they've been We've said they've been a mediocre team all along. 616 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: So now they're losing these close games instead of the 617 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: team winning them. It's a bad It's a seven and nine, 618 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 1: eight and eight type of team to me that that 619 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 1: started out on fire and now they're losing these close games. 620 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: I think they'll end up winning some of these close 621 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: games too. But to lose, to blame Gabbert, who was 622 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: much more decisive than Colin Kaepernick and ultimately played a 623 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: lot better. It's easy to play better when you're facing 624 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: the Falcons pass rush, which is actually worse this year 625 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: under dan Quinn than it was a year ago. Gabbert 626 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: threw a bad interception midway through the fourth quarters, so 627 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:23,200 Speaker 1: people should hold off on saying he you know, it 628 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: should have really set up a game winning drive for 629 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,959 Speaker 1: the Falcons. But instead dan Quinn makes the worst coaching 630 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,480 Speaker 1: decision of the entire season. I can't believe I didn't 631 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: just start with this fourth down at the two yard 632 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: line two minutes in fifty six seconds to go down four. 633 00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,640 Speaker 1: Dan Quinn decides to kick a field goal to cut 634 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 1: the lead to one and then kick off. He had 635 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 1: only had two time outs because he just blew one 636 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 1: on a stupid challenge about five minutes before. So what 637 00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: do the forty niners do? They get the ball, they 638 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: run a bootleg with Gabbert. They he picks up the 639 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: first down. Game over. It gave him an envelope when 640 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: he took over and said, if you get into a fix, 641 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: do what I'm gonna tell you to do. Inside. Yeah, 642 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: it's like Jim Calbell took over his body for a moment. 643 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 1: You got you have Matt Ryan and Julio Jones and 644 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman. You're at the two yard line, and if 645 00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: if you don't get it. It's not like you have 646 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,160 Speaker 1: to lose the game. You can still get that three 647 00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: and out you think your defense can get. He said 648 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: he was having faith in the defense didn't work. He 649 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,520 Speaker 1: played to win the game. The dan Remember dan Quinn, 650 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 1: We were giving him a lot of credit early in 651 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: the season for being the difference maker. I guess these 652 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: things kind of average out. Maybe dan Quinn isn't the 653 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: godsend that he initially in defense. I still think he's 654 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: like a very good coach. He just said that, you know, 655 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: the Falcons are what their talent level is as well, 656 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: well they should be doing It was the first game 657 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:49,479 Speaker 1: where an opposing defense just decided to stop Devonte Freeman 658 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,720 Speaker 1: and they did it. Forty Niners gave up seventeen yards 659 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:56,040 Speaker 1: rushing in the entire game. Navarro Bowman had a big game. 660 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,000 Speaker 1: Navarro Bowman is starting to look like Navarro Bowman again. 661 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: I Freeman might have ended up with twelve yards. I 662 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,040 Speaker 1: believe in they got absolutely nothing going on the ground. 663 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: Julio Jones had a good Dame, but that wasn't enough. 664 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,520 Speaker 1: I gotta give credit to Jim tom Sila too, because 665 00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: this this season really had a chance and maybe it's 666 00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: still will to a complete spiral show where they lose 667 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: twelve on a row or something in the ship season. 668 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,640 Speaker 1: So this is this was putting up some some respectful 669 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: game And one of the theory that I want to 670 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:28,800 Speaker 1: throw out there is the inherent risks, whether you're a 671 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: regular person or a quarterback, of growing your hair out, 672 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,200 Speaker 1: because it could either be a situation where you look 673 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 1: cool greg your yearbook photo it's been floating around social media, 674 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: or it can make you look goofy and it ends 675 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: up being something you regret. Andy Dalton grows his hair out, 676 00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,920 Speaker 1: looks badass, becomes one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. 677 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,080 Speaker 1: Colm Kaepernick grows his hair out, look goofy. Now he's 678 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,120 Speaker 1: on the bench and blame Gabbert. Blame gabrit used to 679 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: hair couldn't have stunk any worse. He's cut it clean 680 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 1: and starting play well. One of the I think that's 681 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,200 Speaker 1: going to change in about a week today, the lowest 682 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 1: moment of Colin Kaepernick's career came because he had to 683 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: come into this game for a couple of plays. Blamee 684 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,760 Speaker 1: Gabbert went through the concussion protocol after taking a couple 685 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: of hits gap, Kaepernick comes out there. The minute that 686 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,680 Speaker 1: Gabbert comes back on the field, the crowd, which was 687 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 1: half filled by the way, but the half that was there, 688 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:21,600 Speaker 1: when absolutely crazy that they got Blaine Gabbert back on 689 00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: the field. Very weird. I mean, there there's always surprises 690 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: every week in the NFL, but the fact that Blaine 691 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:31,240 Speaker 1: Gabbert led a forty and Honors team up for a 692 00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: five and two or six and two Falcon's team stunning 693 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,080 Speaker 1: to me. I should have gone with my Blaine's World 694 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:43,760 Speaker 1: headline from the future. What I missed opportunity? That was Okay, 695 00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: it is that time of the show where we welcome 696 00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,520 Speaker 1: in a friend of the show and really the unofficial 697 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 1: fifth member of the Around the NFL podcast. You know 698 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,520 Speaker 1: who I'm talking about. She is the Wolf woman Connie Fox. 699 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:06,360 Speaker 1: Oh Man, Holleen Wolf is back. But now that's so 700 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:09,720 Speaker 1: much worse it. I mean, it's somehow the awkward ISO 701 00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: cam gets more awkward each week. Yeah, that's my goal, 702 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: so I'll do. I've done this before, a little shooter 703 00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: mcgavit that I don't know. Connie Fox, welcome back to 704 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 1: the show. How are things going? Things are great? Thanks 705 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: for having me back the NFL Now Game Day Blitz program. 706 00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,480 Speaker 1: You did about seven hours on that. Yeah, that was 707 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 1: like seven hours ago. Yeah, you know it's good whenever 708 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,120 Speaker 1: you can get on the couch and you got on 709 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,440 Speaker 1: the couch, and you get on the couch and you 710 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: know Greg was on the couch. Yeah, former players can 711 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: kind of ignore what you say and then you banter 712 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: with Shack a little bit and everybody has a fun 713 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: time on the couch. A great system. There was some 714 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,800 Speaker 1: Cam Newton heat right when you were on. Is that 715 00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 1: with that? Oh? Yeah, I was just trying to say, like, 716 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,040 Speaker 1: what's the point of arguing like that. He's the second 717 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 1: place of m v P race. It's not an NBA 718 00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,640 Speaker 1: ballot where you can put in five different places. He's 719 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:06,960 Speaker 1: not even close to the number one. So just quit it. 720 00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: So heated debates today on the couch. Everybody check it 721 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,320 Speaker 1: out at NFL Now. It's better than the games. You 722 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,839 Speaker 1: were much rather hear Greg debate you know the number 723 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,800 Speaker 1: two places in the m v P voting than actually 724 00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:23,239 Speaker 1: watched every Sunday right ten am on the every Sunday. Yeah, 725 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,040 Speaker 1: there you go. So we want to talk some football college, 726 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 1: let's do it. Yeah, alright, let's do it. The New 727 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: York Giants will remain atop the division for another week 728 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:36,239 Speaker 1: after taking care of the Buccaneers win in Jason Pierre 729 00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,600 Speaker 1: Paul's debut with the team. Uh, Colleen, were you impressed 730 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,800 Speaker 1: with what you saw from the NFC East leaders? The 731 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 1: NFC East? It's fine? I mean, hey, the Giants defense actually, 732 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: after looking really awful the week before, they held the 733 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: box to basically field goals and Jamis Winston somehow rushed 734 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: for a touchdown that was weird, so that they had 735 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: three takeaways. And as you said, JPP, he was in 736 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: on the mix again on the field. But yeah, I 737 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,160 Speaker 1: think Odell Beckham Jr. Any time he's in the game, 738 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: you can't really count them out. Mark, you watch this game. 739 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,400 Speaker 1: Od B got the ball a lot or throwing his 740 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,440 Speaker 1: way a lot tonight, seventeen targets, season high. I mean, 741 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:23,120 Speaker 1: they basically said this is our weapon. We're gonna go 742 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:24,920 Speaker 1: to him over and over and over and over. And 743 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,480 Speaker 1: Eli Manning threw two terrible picks that kind of kept 744 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,920 Speaker 1: Tampa in this game. And you know, honestly, Doug Martin 745 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,279 Speaker 1: has been so good this season, but the Giants and 746 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, if it had to do with JPP. 747 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 1: It did a little bit. He played like seventy other snaps. 748 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:43,320 Speaker 1: They shut this Bucks run game down until Charles Sims 749 00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 1: blew it open with a late long run. They kept 750 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,720 Speaker 1: you know that again, kept tamping the game. Jamis Winston. 751 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: It was another good step for him, Gregg. You've been 752 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 1: talking about him for a couple of weeks, and it 753 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,840 Speaker 1: was he hasn't thrown a pick since Week four and 754 00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,799 Speaker 1: another day of mistake free football. They's got They've got 755 00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,719 Speaker 1: to turn these field gold drives into touchdown drives. That 756 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,040 Speaker 1: was the difference here. But the Giants, it was very 757 00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:07,800 Speaker 1: Giants game, not very impressive. You know, they're hanging onto 758 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,959 Speaker 1: this game. League NFC. I picked against the Giants because 759 00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,760 Speaker 1: this felt like the kind of spot where the Giants 760 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: that either lay an egg on the road or they 761 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: let a game get away. And for a while it 762 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,600 Speaker 1: looked like the Bucks could steal it, but ultimately the 763 00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:21,719 Speaker 1: Giants found a way to hold on and they got 764 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: a garbage six points at the end on a lateral 765 00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:26,360 Speaker 1: play that turned into a touchdown. So it makes it 766 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: look like it wasn't a close game, but this was 767 00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,080 Speaker 1: a close game. How much of that from the Buccaneers 768 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,400 Speaker 1: was Mike Evans dropping passes. Well, Mike Evans dropped passes. 769 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: You know, the running backs drop passes. They were not 770 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 1: doing Winston any favors Evans. You know, he's sneaky. He 771 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,400 Speaker 1: looks like from the box score that he blew up 772 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,400 Speaker 1: and had a big day. But he makes the catches 773 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:46,360 Speaker 1: you don't think he'll make, and then he drops his 774 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,759 Speaker 1: easy ones and leaves Tampa's offense and a fixed him. 775 00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 1: There's a little like a Marii Cooper today, I would say, 776 00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,439 Speaker 1: at his worst day as a pro, and he still 777 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,640 Speaker 1: went over a hundred yards despite that. The Eli Manning 778 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 1: box scores is typical for me. For Eli Manning this year, 779 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 1: he throws for five yards per attempt on forty throws, 780 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:04,759 Speaker 1: which is in the Gabbard zone. He has a couple 781 00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: of picks to go with this, two touchdowns, but it 782 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. There's somehow five and four. They're overachieving at 783 00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: this point and they can't run the ball either. They 784 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:14,440 Speaker 1: have five running backs that each have like four You 785 00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 1: say they're overachieving, but if you ask a Giants fan, 786 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: they'll say the Giants should be seven and two, right 787 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 1: now because they've given away games time and time again 788 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:24,000 Speaker 1: this season. They've they're having a strange little season right now. 789 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,880 Speaker 1: I agree. I mean they there's nothing about them that 790 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: screams were good at this, Like what are they good at? 791 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: They don't have anything they're particularly good at other than 792 00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,719 Speaker 1: they have Odell Beckham, which is who is breaking every 793 00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:37,320 Speaker 1: record Now now you're starting to get with Odell Beckham, 794 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 1: like the fastest to do this, the fastest to do that. 795 00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:44,040 Speaker 1: That's pretty much happening every gaming play. And imagine how 796 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,800 Speaker 1: good he would be if Ruben Randall could actually start 797 00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:50,439 Speaker 1: doing things as well, then you would have all sorts 798 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:53,719 Speaker 1: of guys catch up. Nice. If Victor Cruz, who by 799 00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:55,799 Speaker 1: the way, didn't ball off half his hand and fourth 800 00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 1: of July on fourth of July couldn't make it back 801 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: before JPP, who knows if we're were going to see 802 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 1: Victor Cruz again. He's still missing and that's hurt this 803 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 1: team as well, both right, because you know Beckham, who 804 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,880 Speaker 1: took a lot of heat for not wanting to deal 805 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: with contact. I mean he's getting double teamed left and right, 806 00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:12,640 Speaker 1: and they're not scared of anyone else in that offense. 807 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,040 Speaker 1: What was this. I kept reading on Twitter that Odell 808 00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: Beckham wasn't playing with gloves on at one point, Well 809 00:39:17,560 --> 00:39:20,319 Speaker 1: it was. It was a pouring. He typically always wears 810 00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 1: gloves and he had no gloves. So I don't know 811 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 1: what the strip your thoughts on glovegate. I'm not in favor, Okay, 812 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: moving on at his time, TD. You know where we 813 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:36,120 Speaker 1: gotta go, now to the throne of these the cherbs 814 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 1: floating dropping grapes into Greg's mouth and not really flexible, 815 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: small little children's little diapers, blowing trumpets, which is little 816 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 1: boys all around Greg giving any need he could ever have. 817 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 1: Why do I have little boys around? That's like a 818 00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,160 Speaker 1: rich like royal person has little boy servants and man 819 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: servants and served me up. Kirk Cousins matchups every week, 820 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,560 Speaker 1: the New England Patriot out halfway to perfection. Tom Brady 821 00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,560 Speaker 1: threw two touchdown passes on la Garrett Blunt ran for 822 00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,239 Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty nine yards then to score in 823 00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:13,359 Speaker 1: a seven to ten win over the Redskins. Colleen, what's 824 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:17,160 Speaker 1: the point of these bum teams even showing up in Foxboro? Well, 825 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 1: we gotta deal with these one sided games that only 826 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,919 Speaker 1: give Greg more joy that he doesn't need at this point. 827 00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: It's overkill. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Greg, Wow, don't listen. 828 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,320 Speaker 1: I mean honestly, though, who is going to stop the 829 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 1: Patriots right now? Can anything or anyone? They keep dealing 830 00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:36,600 Speaker 1: with these injuries and they still look just as good. 831 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,520 Speaker 1: That offensive line they're playing a tight end in there 832 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:45,560 Speaker 1: at one point does not matter at all. Yeah, Dion Lewis, 833 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 1: he goes down, not a problem. Let's get somebody else 834 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,799 Speaker 1: in there. Let's get Brandon Bolden in there. He can 835 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,720 Speaker 1: catch passes too, he can run the ball. It's crazy 836 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,320 Speaker 1: how good they are. They're not stopping anytime soon. The 837 00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,840 Speaker 1: Damie Collins also banged up a little bit. But you 838 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: mentioned thrown a vase. This was maybe the worst regular 839 00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:07,160 Speaker 1: season game about they've had. Because if Dan lewis out 840 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,720 Speaker 1: for a long time, or if if it's really serious 841 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 1: he's out for seeing something like that, which it doesn't 842 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:17,359 Speaker 1: sound like initially, that is a massive, massive loss for them. Well, 843 00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,319 Speaker 1: you're right, Craig, but every time in New England won 844 00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:22,839 Speaker 1: the game by seventeen points, and they wanted easily, by 845 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:24,600 Speaker 1: the way, that was a late score just to get 846 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,560 Speaker 1: it even to halfway. Respectable looking. But the point is 847 00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 1: what Colin just made. I mean, Brandon Bolden has been 848 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 1: in bubble wrap for a year and a half, comes 849 00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:34,720 Speaker 1: out of nowhere and he completely flames the Redskins defense 850 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,839 Speaker 1: that we were talking highly of a couple of weeks ago. 851 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,800 Speaker 1: So it is like, yeah, Dean Lewis is a huge loss, 852 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 1: but no team in the league does a better job 853 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 1: of taking other people's trash in just two weeks later, 854 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: they're shining in New England. They've had more line changes 855 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,399 Speaker 1: than any team in the NFL, and it doesn't matter. 856 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 1: Will be back in bubble route next next week. James 857 00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 1: White was inactive today. I think he was a healthy scratch. 858 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,319 Speaker 1: If they if Dean Lewis doesn't play, they'll bring James 859 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,800 Speaker 1: White back. They need offensive lineman. Sebastan Volmer went out obviously, 860 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:05,799 Speaker 1: soldiers out for the year. If if for some reason 861 00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,080 Speaker 1: Volmer was out for a while. Eventually, these problems will 862 00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 1: matter when you play teams like the Broncos or the Bengals. 863 00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 1: They're they're in a race right now for that by 864 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,959 Speaker 1: which is vitally important because whoever gets the three seeds 865 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,480 Speaker 1: gonna have to play two road games and you're not 866 00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:23,279 Speaker 1: really going to have a chance to lose many games. 867 00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 1: You might have to go fifteen and one to get 868 00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,200 Speaker 1: that by this year. It doesn't be nice to be 869 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,160 Speaker 1: in New England. Your attempt at drumming up, you know, 870 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:35,520 Speaker 1: sympathy for the China's scrabbled, you know, white knuckled Patriots. 871 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,440 Speaker 1: It's just not really it's a bonus. It's a happy bonus. 872 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,680 Speaker 1: Sympathy scored in what one straight quarters? That's right, every 873 00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:49,840 Speaker 1: quarter since the first one? Why does it all have 874 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:53,080 Speaker 1: to be about maybe just making about the excellence of 875 00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:56,160 Speaker 1: potentially the greatest quarterback of all time and the greatest 876 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:59,560 Speaker 1: coach of all time. You're getting to witnesses. Can we 877 00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:02,799 Speaker 1: stop with the potentially stuff? Please? He's the greatest? Come 878 00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 1: on which one Tom Brady, both Belichick would probably to 879 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 1: Paul Brown, just just to bring Greg down a little bit, 880 00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:16,120 Speaker 1: Greg Mark, can we just You've got some mail over 881 00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: the past week, right you want to share that with 882 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,360 Speaker 1: the group right now? Yeah? Actually from someone that we 883 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:25,399 Speaker 1: met in London, very upset about one aspect of our show, 884 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,640 Speaker 1: which was a very popular segment in the past, which 885 00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,320 Speaker 1: was Greg would be part of the pick crew and 886 00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:32,399 Speaker 1: make picks and He was a big part of Hero 887 00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:35,319 Speaker 1: Picks as well, a segment that's been deep six because 888 00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 1: the boss is not so Yeah he did. Uh, he's 889 00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,680 Speaker 1: got props. He sent something over. You want to open 890 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,399 Speaker 1: this up? Well? Who was a guy named Christian who 891 00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 1: we met in London. Wonderful guy. I'm gonna kept the 892 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:52,600 Speaker 1: hair of the show and he is so he wants 893 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,280 Speaker 1: justice for this show. All right, let's see what Christian 894 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,839 Speaker 1: from London. Oh, I think I know what this is. Wow, 895 00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 1: it looks like we got in our hands right now. 896 00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:05,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna hold it up. If you're watching on YouTube, 897 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:08,560 Speaker 1: thank you. You're gonna hold it up here. This is 898 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,239 Speaker 1: what would you call this a bur lap sack? We've 899 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:18,719 Speaker 1: talked about during the Picks segments on on Thursdays when 900 00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,399 Speaker 1: we go around making the picks picks, that perhaps Greg, 901 00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,399 Speaker 1: since he's he's chosen not to make picks and he's 902 00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 1: compromised a segment, could maybe wear a sack on his 903 00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: head when it comes like his time to pick. We 904 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:35,640 Speaker 1: just like keep moving. Um so now we now we 905 00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,239 Speaker 1: have the sack. Greg, your thoughts interest My thoughts are 906 00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 1: that I haven't heard anyone mentioned missing picks in a 907 00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,920 Speaker 1: long time because no one really notices. Look at the 908 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,480 Speaker 1: message right here, bring back Hero Picks on the bag 909 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:50,280 Speaker 1: itself to London with the logo of the around the NFL. 910 00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 1: This is very classy, and then hashtag onto London, Greg. 911 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 1: Would you like to put this on? Maybe just to 912 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,759 Speaker 1: give us I'm not putting that on, so you're not 913 00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: gonna play ball for the listening. Maybe maybe it was 914 00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: another show you know that we're not even making picks. 915 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:03,920 Speaker 1: What if this had like what it was, like a 916 00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,799 Speaker 1: gentle Knicks show thing? Would you put it on? Then 917 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,160 Speaker 1: you can put it on the redskins. I think not 918 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 1: only should you have to wear it, we should be 919 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 1: chanting shame in the background while you wear absolutely so 920 00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,120 Speaker 1: thank you? Who was it? Christian? Christian? Excellent work, Christians 921 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:20,880 Speaker 1: all the way from another country. I understand. I probably 922 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 1: wouldn't want to put a burlap sack in my head, 923 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:24,440 Speaker 1: like I don't know. It's not like we're gonna get 924 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,279 Speaker 1: on you about that. But it's sweaty and it's it's good. 925 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,400 Speaker 1: But it's good that we don't have that. I can 926 00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,040 Speaker 1: only imagine we should know now that we have it, 927 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 1: we should figure out some way to like to penalize us, like, 928 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:38,640 Speaker 1: if something bad happens, you have to wear the burlap sack. 929 00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,480 Speaker 1: Maybe it's something to think. It's very Greg centric. It's 930 00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 1: probably gonna be Greg wearing the sack before, you know, 931 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:46,880 Speaker 1: anyone else in the show West has been in a 932 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 1: burlap sack before. Well, you go, you know, when you're 933 00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 1: a little kid, you go to like family picnics and 934 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 1: you have all these little picnic games. Sometimes they're like 935 00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,279 Speaker 1: burl up stack. Yeah, oh yeah, the old put the 936 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,440 Speaker 1: kid in that sack and hit him with a baseball. 937 00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:01,160 Speaker 1: This is what happens in New grow up with seven brothers. 938 00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:09,920 Speaker 1: In Cincinnati, there's not a lot of money. So the 939 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,239 Speaker 1: New England Patriots remained in first place in the a 940 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,640 Speaker 1: f C East. The second place team in the anf 941 00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,120 Speaker 1: C East is the working class. The real team of 942 00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:19,920 Speaker 1: the a f C East the New York Jets. That's 943 00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,200 Speaker 1: the way I look at it. Anyway. They have hit 944 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,319 Speaker 1: the midpoint point of the season at five and three, 945 00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 1: after you know, a hard fought alcohol three win over 946 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,120 Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Meadow Lions, a game that 947 00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,600 Speaker 1: the Jets are very fortunate that they paid that played 948 00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 1: the Jaguars today because they jagged it up and found 949 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,879 Speaker 1: figured out a way to lose the game. I would 950 00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:43,439 Speaker 1: say that twenty eight other teams in the NFL would 951 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,200 Speaker 1: have beaten the Jets. The mistakes the Jets made their inability. 952 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,880 Speaker 1: Here's a crazy, crazy stat. And you know, when I 953 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 1: proclaimed a few weeks back that the Jets are good 954 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,160 Speaker 1: and I was really excited about that, that was built 955 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:56,759 Speaker 1: upon the fact that I thought they had one of 956 00:46:56,800 --> 00:47:00,120 Speaker 1: the best defenses in the league and uh maybe a 957 00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:03,239 Speaker 1: top five or top three running back in the league. Really, 958 00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,520 Speaker 1: since that happened, the defense has been middle of the 959 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,120 Speaker 1: pack at best, with secondary issues which I didn't see coming. 960 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:14,040 Speaker 1: Let's not go that far, and Chris Ivory has over 961 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,359 Speaker 1: the last three games now is rush for eighty four 962 00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,439 Speaker 1: yards on fifty five carries, one and a half yards 963 00:47:19,480 --> 00:47:22,640 Speaker 1: per carry. This week, this game on Sunday against the Jaguars. 964 00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:25,239 Speaker 1: They have a pretty good run defense, but twenty three 965 00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:28,400 Speaker 1: carries for twenty six yards, which pound for pound is 966 00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,240 Speaker 1: one of the worst performances ever for that many carries. 967 00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:34,320 Speaker 1: According to the Ely Sports Theory. Did have two touchdowns. 968 00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 1: To say, fantasy owners, but they're not running the ball anymore, 969 00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 1: and they're not getting big stops on defense. So the Jets, 970 00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,160 Speaker 1: in my opinion, despite the win here, are in danger 971 00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,040 Speaker 1: if they don't get back to their real formula that 972 00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 1: made them dangerous in the beginning of the season. There's 973 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,760 Speaker 1: a crazy stat twenty nine rushing yards. That's the fewest 974 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,600 Speaker 1: in a Jets game in a decade two thousand five, 975 00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,399 Speaker 1: and yet they won. And what's their identity? I thought 976 00:47:57,560 --> 00:48:00,399 Speaker 1: last week Jets defensive performance was one of them list 977 00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:03,279 Speaker 1: list of any team all year. They went through the 978 00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,640 Speaker 1: motions when they tried to tackle, and it sounds like 979 00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,000 Speaker 1: they gave up foreigner in thirty yards again this week. 980 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 1: They I mean, the numbers make it look like they 981 00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:11,440 Speaker 1: had a bad game. I wouldn't say they had a 982 00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,319 Speaker 1: bad game. They had some bad breakdowns, including a three 983 00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:18,200 Speaker 1: place seventy six yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter, 984 00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,799 Speaker 1: and then they have a quick score at the end 985 00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:22,880 Speaker 1: of the second quarter as well. But they did do 986 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,600 Speaker 1: a better job getting pressure on on the quarterback. They 987 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,480 Speaker 1: did have three turnovers, which they've struggled to turn the 988 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,840 Speaker 1: ball over recently, so there were some bright spots on defense. 989 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:35,239 Speaker 1: But Antonio Crimarti a guy we talked about last week, 990 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 1: who's maybe on the other side of the hill Now, Um, 991 00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 1: he got beat again on a long touchdown. Well, he's 992 00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:44,279 Speaker 1: got into funcs in his career and then come back 993 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,840 Speaker 1: from That's how he signed a cheap deal with Arizona. 994 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:49,160 Speaker 1: But this time it looks different. He got beat again 995 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 1: and then exited this game with uh, some type of 996 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 1: quad injury. Uh. If you want to assume that it's 997 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,600 Speaker 1: an injury and not just a guy that is having 998 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:58,640 Speaker 1: a bad way right now and came out of the game, well, 999 00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:00,960 Speaker 1: I don't think we can. We can't say right now 1000 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,359 Speaker 1: that they have a good secondary anymore that that that's 1001 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,760 Speaker 1: a strength of their team. They have Darrell Rivas, who's 1002 00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:09,400 Speaker 1: still a great player. But outside of that, if Screen 1003 00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:12,800 Speaker 1: and Krimarti aren't playing really well, they're not. They're not 1004 00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,680 Speaker 1: what you thought they were at least through this stretch. Yeah, 1005 00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 1: I'm willing to say that I'm not I'm not hopeless 1006 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,840 Speaker 1: about their secondary. But there are now concerns about the secondary, 1007 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:26,440 Speaker 1: which I did not anticipate. Um, but yeah, I mean 1008 00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:27,920 Speaker 1: and and the thing is, if you're not going to 1009 00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:30,920 Speaker 1: run the ball. Ryan Fitzpatrick, who has the stumb injury. 1010 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,040 Speaker 1: It's gonna catch up to him because Fitzpatrick again played steady. 1011 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,319 Speaker 1: But you play a better team, you're gonna get beaten. 1012 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:37,960 Speaker 1: And that's why I'm worried about the Bills on on 1013 00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:43,080 Speaker 1: Thursday night. This new edge rusher you found, Oh Malden 1014 00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 1: he uh, what's Carl Malden? His name is? Is that 1015 00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:54,640 Speaker 1: his name? Lots of Malden. He is a third or 1016 00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:57,560 Speaker 1: third round draft pick that had two sacks and this, 1017 00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:59,640 Speaker 1: you know, it gives them an edge rusher which they 1018 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:01,879 Speaker 1: don't they don't have. They have a bunch of guys 1019 00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:04,160 Speaker 1: like an push the pocket in the middle. But if 1020 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,720 Speaker 1: he could be somebody that gets gets to the quarterback 1021 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,920 Speaker 1: there in a good spot. So that's promising. But I'm 1022 00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,600 Speaker 1: a little nervous. They're all by their lonesome right now. Though. 1023 00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:15,680 Speaker 1: As the wild card race goes at five and three, 1024 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,480 Speaker 1: I think ten wins and you are definitely going to 1025 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,400 Speaker 1: be making the a f C playoffs this year, and 1026 00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,640 Speaker 1: nine wins, it's probably gonna work out that there's a 1027 00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 1: bunch of teams tied or something like that where the 1028 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 1: nine win team gets into the playoffs. And what's up 1029 00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:30,600 Speaker 1: with Julius Thomas right now too. If Alan ORNs Allen 1030 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,799 Speaker 1: Robinson both over a hundred yards and Julius Thomas has 1031 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,920 Speaker 1: like what fifteen yards receiving today and he didn't look good. 1032 00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,680 Speaker 1: He didn't get separation, had a bad drop and maybe 1033 00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:41,600 Speaker 1: he's still not right. But it was a finger injury. 1034 00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,239 Speaker 1: It wasn't like it was something where it affected his 1035 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,919 Speaker 1: speed or he just doesn't look so far. He looks 1036 00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,799 Speaker 1: like a bus to me. Um. But those receivers are 1037 00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,040 Speaker 1: the real deal. And I think Bordles they'll be kicking themselves. 1038 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 1: And when you guys watch this game, they're gonna be 1039 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,600 Speaker 1: stunned that they blew this game because they were down 1040 00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:59,920 Speaker 1: five points with six minutes to go, first and ten 1041 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:04,319 Speaker 1: from the Jets ten and Bordles loses a fumble. Uh 1042 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,719 Speaker 1: they go, Jets go three and out, they punt it back, 1043 00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 1: they muffed. Then they muffed the punt and the Jets 1044 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,520 Speaker 1: recover that and then Brandon Marshall scores they go ahead, 1045 00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,200 Speaker 1: are the touchdown to put it away. So the Jags 1046 00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:18,320 Speaker 1: Gus Bradley can't lose too anymore game. I mean, you 1047 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,000 Speaker 1: mentioned that twenty eight other teams would have won this thing, 1048 00:51:21,080 --> 00:51:23,560 Speaker 1: and that's what the Jaguars need to stop being is 1049 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,800 Speaker 1: one of the three teams that can't do it, because 1050 00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:29,080 Speaker 1: that's I thought. If I thought they turned the corner 1051 00:51:29,120 --> 00:51:31,160 Speaker 1: a little bit against Buffalo, polling out the win the 1052 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 1: way they did, and they were so excited. Conroar actually 1053 00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:36,359 Speaker 1: spent a little time with Gus Bradley after and they 1054 00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,239 Speaker 1: were so fired up they didn't care how they won 1055 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 1: the game. They viewed it as a turning point with 1056 00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,920 Speaker 1: young pieces starting to show up. But then you turn 1057 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:45,279 Speaker 1: around do this. It was that same DNA and the 1058 00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,920 Speaker 1: collapse in London before they pulled it out at the end, 1059 00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:49,800 Speaker 1: and they just this time it was it was happening 1060 00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:51,640 Speaker 1: where they don't pull it out. So there's still that 1061 00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,080 Speaker 1: team has a way to go. And and for all 1062 00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,760 Speaker 1: the a f C South is lousy. There two games 1063 00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:58,880 Speaker 1: back in the a f C South and they have 1064 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:01,840 Speaker 1: a loss to the first place leader. So when you 1065 00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:05,720 Speaker 1: have a week like this, you're suddenly buried right. Moving 1066 00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:10,960 Speaker 1: on Mike Mularkey for president, how about it? No? No, okay, Well, 1067 00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,200 Speaker 1: the Titans interm coach is the new Dan Campbell. How 1068 00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:21,960 Speaker 1: about that? After Tennessee scored an upset over the Saints 1069 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:26,480 Speaker 1: and overtime at the Superdome. Colleen Wolf, Connie Fox, the 1070 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:30,759 Speaker 1: Wolf Woman, Marcus Mariotta returned to the lineup and he 1071 00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,920 Speaker 1: was the man. Yeah, after missing two games, he is back. Um. 1072 00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,520 Speaker 1: He started off a little shaky. How in the world 1073 00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:40,439 Speaker 1: that one past I don't know if you guys saw 1074 00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,839 Speaker 1: it to Delaney Walker, it should have been in her. 1075 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:46,319 Speaker 1: That was lucky. I mean, it was so so lucky. 1076 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: But these are the things that are happening with him. 1077 00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:51,440 Speaker 1: He throws that pass, it somehow turns into a touchdown. 1078 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 1: I mean after that point, he really picked apart the 1079 00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:58,040 Speaker 1: Saints and he made good decisions. And you look at 1080 00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:02,400 Speaker 1: that offensive line the past walking they were allowing sacks 1081 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,960 Speaker 1: in every single game and Mario didn't get sacked once today. 1082 00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,560 Speaker 1: It's funny one ken in this game at one point, 1083 00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,560 Speaker 1: and that and seven of those ten was on the 1084 00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,719 Speaker 1: Fluke play that should have been picked off. For the 1085 00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:17,040 Speaker 1: Saints to blow this game after the couple of wins 1086 00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,120 Speaker 1: that they had to get back in the mixes. I mean, 1087 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:21,759 Speaker 1: this is a killer loss to lose the Titans at home. 1088 00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:23,960 Speaker 1: It reminds me of we just talked about the Bills 1089 00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,279 Speaker 1: and how different they are with Tyron Taylor in there, 1090 00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,720 Speaker 1: and you look at the you look what happened with Tennessee. 1091 00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,800 Speaker 1: With Mariota back in the lineup. Suddenly the receivers are productive, 1092 00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,399 Speaker 1: the numbers across the board completely changed. The running game 1093 00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:37,839 Speaker 1: opens up because their quarterback can do so many different things, 1094 00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,399 Speaker 1: or because they played the Saints play all that's fair 1095 00:53:40,960 --> 00:53:46,120 Speaker 1: because NFL medias Albert Brier, he writes a column or 1096 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:49,920 Speaker 1: a notebook compt on each Friday. He wrote that one 1097 00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 1: of the reasons why the Titans decided to make the 1098 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,600 Speaker 1: change is that Ken Wizzen Hunt staff could not protect 1099 00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,800 Speaker 1: a quarterback. And so it is it is telling that 1100 00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:02,000 Speaker 1: Marcus Mario to the first game with wizzon Hunt out 1101 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,640 Speaker 1: the door, doesn't take a sack, and that's the whole thing. 1102 00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:06,920 Speaker 1: They got to protect this guy. And if you're Ken Wizn' Hunt, 1103 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,600 Speaker 1: by the way, you gotta be dying because he looks 1104 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,080 Speaker 1: like the real deal Mariota, and all wisdom on how 1105 00:54:13,120 --> 00:54:15,160 Speaker 1: to do is get through this season and get a 1106 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,000 Speaker 1: few wins, and he would have been hooked up with 1107 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:20,799 Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback which could have bought him years. Even 1108 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,440 Speaker 1: do just get to this week and have this happened. 1109 00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:27,640 Speaker 1: I don't think they would have fed Mariota's injury essentially 1110 00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:30,000 Speaker 1: cost him his job, which but it goes back to 1111 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,240 Speaker 1: Tennessee what they may be thinking. That's partly the coach's 1112 00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 1: fault that it happened. Brandon Browner continued to be the 1113 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,719 Speaker 1: worst free agent signing of the off season, having two 1114 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:42,440 Speaker 1: penalties in the fourth quarter. He now is seventeen for 1115 00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,399 Speaker 1: the season, which I believe is like twice as many. 1116 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,160 Speaker 1: Just about his hat for thirty four penalties, that's got 1117 00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,840 Speaker 1: to be a record. Did he go after a reporter 1118 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:53,000 Speaker 1: in the locker room and then he goes after a 1119 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:57,319 Speaker 1: reporter at profanity laced a tirade against the reporter who 1120 00:54:57,440 --> 00:55:01,120 Speaker 1: wasn't even interviewing Brandon Browner. They were interviewing Jared's bird, 1121 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,800 Speaker 1: our our old buddy. It's been hard times for for Jared. 1122 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:08,920 Speaker 1: Jared's bird, our old friend, one of our great friends. 1123 00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 1: Jared's bird. Bird was one of the two. Yeah, he 1124 00:55:17,600 --> 00:55:19,840 Speaker 1: was one of the two players. Him and Keenan Allen, 1125 00:55:19,920 --> 00:55:23,240 Speaker 1: you know, I mean Keenan Lewis collided. The ball pops 1126 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,920 Speaker 1: up in the air, Delaney Walker takes it for a 1127 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,120 Speaker 1: long touchdown and they're asking Jared's bird about these questions, 1128 00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:32,080 Speaker 1: and then Browner just goes off. It's not about one play. 1129 00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,000 Speaker 1: We went to overtime and just went crazy pipe down. 1130 00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,520 Speaker 1: You know, lucky you gotta ring last year. But someone 1131 00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:40,759 Speaker 1: else in that Titans deserves some credit here. We don't 1132 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,879 Speaker 1: talk him about him anymore because he plays he plays 1133 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,640 Speaker 1: in Nashville. But Brian Araco, every time I watched the Titans, 1134 00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,080 Speaker 1: I write down gets consistent heat on the quarterback and 1135 00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:53,680 Speaker 1: the Saints were flying high. Breeze had joined Roethlisberger, is 1136 00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,160 Speaker 1: the only two quarterbacks in history to get eight hundred 1137 00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,759 Speaker 1: fifty yards and ten ts over two game span, and 1138 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:00,759 Speaker 1: Araco helped shut him on in the second half of 1139 00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,880 Speaker 1: the game as signing that a lot of people said ridiculous, 1140 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,160 Speaker 1: why are you going after this guy? And worked out, well, 1141 00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:08,360 Speaker 1: his chest is going to explode. That's what a lot 1142 00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:11,520 Speaker 1: of people were saying. That pack in my blow. You 1143 00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:12,960 Speaker 1: know what I like to do in this game? How 1144 00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:16,560 Speaker 1: about the overtime first possession touchdown. You know we don't 1145 00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,040 Speaker 1: see enough of that for the six point results to go. 1146 00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:21,839 Speaker 1: None of this field goal, second possession. It's like we're 1147 00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,400 Speaker 1: just gonna drop it on. You spakes a stand in 1148 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:27,200 Speaker 1: favor of touchdowns. Bad job by us. There's an NFL 1149 00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,000 Speaker 1: coach that took the win today at all that time, 1150 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,680 Speaker 1: like Zimmer correct and it worked out taking the win, Marty, 1151 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,400 Speaker 1: Marty Morton Wig. Wherever you are, buddy, you get a 1152 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,879 Speaker 1: job Marty. A little different with the current Wait he's 1153 00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:47,080 Speaker 1: the Ravens offensive coordinator. Marty's yeah, wait what? Oh no, 1154 00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,920 Speaker 1: you're right. I think I think he's probably still being 1155 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:56,120 Speaker 1: listeners will never hear this interplay. By the way, the 1156 00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 1: Saints got roll the ball at all. And I don't 1157 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:01,839 Speaker 1: know if you guys saw it, but at the right 1158 00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 1: after halftime they came out and read three straight run plays, 1159 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:09,400 Speaker 1: went three and out like they just kept going back 1160 00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:12,279 Speaker 1: to and got nothing. Well, Colleen, you've said it all, 1161 00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:16,000 Speaker 1: and what do we learn. We learned that Colleen is 1162 00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 1: a regular contributor on NFL now is Game Day Blitz program. 1163 00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,000 Speaker 1: I feel like you're doing the math when you do. 1164 00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:28,440 Speaker 1: And but you know, we enjoy having you, and we 1165 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,040 Speaker 1: enjoy having you so much that once again you will 1166 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:35,560 Speaker 1: be invited to the fort Committee meeting, where there will 1167 00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:39,040 Speaker 1: be Danish and bagels and coffee and locks last week, right, 1168 00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:41,960 Speaker 1: last week of the Forks. This is it last one, 1169 00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:44,960 Speaker 1: so we'll see you Brighten. How I made it this far, 1170 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:48,919 Speaker 1: but so great that we meet at four am, four 1171 00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:53,320 Speaker 1: am on Monday, alright, so in a few hours from now, Colleen, 1172 00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:55,200 Speaker 1: thank you for joining us, and we'll see you next week. 1173 00:57:55,320 --> 00:58:01,040 Speaker 1: It's been real, which takes us to Monday night football 1174 00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 1: at jeral World, a game that ended in sudden fashion 1175 00:58:05,040 --> 00:58:08,760 Speaker 1: at Jordan matthews forty one yard touchdown reception on the 1176 00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 1: first possession of overtime, the decisive play and a thirty 1177 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 1: three ton win for the Eagles over the Cowboys. Yes, 1178 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:21,040 Speaker 1: the Cowboys have now lost six straight games without Tony 1179 00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,880 Speaker 1: Romo behind center. But don't hang this one on matt Castle. 1180 00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,560 Speaker 1: He played a very solid game, moving the team when 1181 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,800 Speaker 1: they needed to move. But Sam Bradford, Greg Rosenthal, he 1182 00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:32,800 Speaker 1: was the man that you take out of this game. Yeah. 1183 00:58:32,840 --> 00:58:35,200 Speaker 1: De Marco Murray did things, Ryan Matthews did things, but 1184 00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:38,920 Speaker 1: Bradford delivered when accounted and the Eagles are four and 1185 00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:41,400 Speaker 1: four and the Cowboys are getting close to the junk 1186 00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:44,640 Speaker 1: scrap heat. Yeah, put him there, get rid of him. 1187 00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,280 Speaker 1: Sam Bradford. We said, if you squinted hard. You can 1188 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:49,280 Speaker 1: see him getting a little bit better in that game 1189 00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,560 Speaker 1: against Carolina before the bye, and I think you saw 1190 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:54,240 Speaker 1: more of the same tonight. More that just it looked 1191 00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:56,600 Speaker 1: like the Eagles offense and that they were snapping the 1192 00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,960 Speaker 1: ball with five seconds left on the play cock. They 1193 00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,400 Speaker 1: were finally playing some tumbo ball. They get the ball 1194 00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,240 Speaker 1: in ot and they made the Cowboys Dallas looking gassed 1195 00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:07,240 Speaker 1: on defense at multiple points of this game, poor beleaguered 1196 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,400 Speaker 1: Matt Castle gets all the Greek. The defense gives up 1197 00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:12,560 Speaker 1: a hundred fifty yards due to Marco Murray, a hundred 1198 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,720 Speaker 1: thirty yards to Jordan Matthews. This is supposed to be 1199 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:18,040 Speaker 1: the strength of this team, totally banged up Dallas squad 1200 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 1: and Tony Romo is my m v P pick because 1201 00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,480 Speaker 1: this team would be running away with the NFC ust 1202 00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,880 Speaker 1: if he was played one and a half games. Well, 1203 00:59:25,440 --> 00:59:27,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a terrible m v P pick, But 1204 00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:29,360 Speaker 1: at the same time, we see your point. Well, my 1205 00:59:29,440 --> 00:59:31,240 Speaker 1: point is you take him off the team, and this 1206 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,040 Speaker 1: is the guy that was most beleaguered quarterback around before 1207 00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,240 Speaker 1: last season, and now you find out there's just another 1208 00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:39,800 Speaker 1: nothing without him. I'm a little bit nervous as someone 1209 00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:45,280 Speaker 1: that really enjoys um Chip Kelly. Struggling this game makes 1210 00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,280 Speaker 1: me nervous. And I know the Cowboys aren't a great 1211 00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,280 Speaker 1: team at this at this juncture with how beat up 1212 00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:53,360 Speaker 1: they are. But if Sam Bradford's gonna play like this 1213 00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 1: and he's gonna spread the ball around and they're gonna 1214 00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:58,560 Speaker 1: get action out of their backfield from both their key guys, 1215 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,600 Speaker 1: they're gonna pile up yards and they're gonna win some games. 1216 01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,120 Speaker 1: I think they're in the conversation for sure when you're 1217 01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:06,160 Speaker 1: talking about who's gonna win this division. Well, I thought 1218 01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:07,960 Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win it, and I think their 1219 01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:10,480 Speaker 1: defense was what we could rely on. But they really 1220 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:13,160 Speaker 1: haven't played well the last two weeks. The Eagles defense, 1221 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:14,720 Speaker 1: I mean, they gave up a lot more yards, and 1222 01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:17,000 Speaker 1: they had many chances to close this thing out and 1223 01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,440 Speaker 1: you know, before the fourth quarter, and they couldn't do it. 1224 01:00:19,720 --> 01:00:21,960 Speaker 1: The crazy thing with the Cowboys in this whole sixth 1225 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,680 Speaker 1: game losing tack is they have been either ahead or 1226 01:00:24,760 --> 01:00:26,800 Speaker 1: tied in the fourth quarter in five of the games. 1227 01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,000 Speaker 1: The Patriots was the only game that they didn't have 1228 01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:30,600 Speaker 1: a chance to win in the last three minutes and 1229 01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:32,720 Speaker 1: they just find a new way to lose, almost like 1230 01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:36,160 Speaker 1: they lacked the character to come through. Haven't won a game, 1231 01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:38,680 Speaker 1: haven't won a game since they brought Greg Hardy on board. 1232 01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:40,960 Speaker 1: It's a shame that he was the one who almost 1233 01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:42,920 Speaker 1: hit Sam Bradford on the last play of the game, 1234 01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,000 Speaker 1: but just didn't quite get there in time that take. 1235 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,560 Speaker 1: Do we not believe that Dallas in the final week 1236 01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:51,960 Speaker 1: of the season will be obviously on prime time somewhere, 1237 01:00:52,200 --> 01:00:55,040 Speaker 1: you know what, No, I don't. I don't think they're six. 1238 01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,000 Speaker 1: They're in deep trouble now. I mean, there's no denying 1239 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:00,320 Speaker 1: that because I think, like we're just saying, I think 1240 01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,600 Speaker 1: the Eagles, they're probably gonna be a team that's gonna 1241 01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:05,200 Speaker 1: have around nine wins. I think the Giants or team 1242 01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,400 Speaker 1: you could you could book, probably gonna be around nine wins. 1243 01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,840 Speaker 1: When you're two and six, you're almost eliminated your margin 1244 01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,200 Speaker 1: for error, and Romo's not coming back anytime soon. Well, 1245 01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,560 Speaker 1: I think you're gonna miss one more game, and that 1246 01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,240 Speaker 1: would be against the Buccaneers. Then they're at two and seven. 1247 01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,520 Speaker 1: If they lose that game, it would be amazing Tony 1248 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:23,000 Speaker 1: Romo for everything that he's gone through. If he comes 1249 01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,720 Speaker 1: back at two and seven, leads him to seventh state 1250 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,120 Speaker 1: wind and then leads him to the super Bowl title. 1251 01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:32,480 Speaker 1: That's how Tony Romo gets up, get out. It's not 1252 01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:36,800 Speaker 1: gonna happen. It's not gonna happen anything else in this game, guys, 1253 01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,120 Speaker 1: not a word. Bryant looked a lot better, looked like days. 1254 01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:42,680 Speaker 1: That's a big So that's a big piece of it though. 1255 01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:46,680 Speaker 1: But you got I tweeted that Cowboys are a glorious 1256 01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:49,760 Speaker 1: disaster right after this game, and Elliot Harrison, who's uh 1257 01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 1: you know he works for NFL Media. Of course he 1258 01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,880 Speaker 1: does our power rankings. Uh, he's also a Cowboys fan, 1259 01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:56,920 Speaker 1: went back at me a little anger, like, how can 1260 01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:59,200 Speaker 1: you say they're they're beat up? But what you were saying, Greg, 1261 01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,600 Speaker 1: they are fine ways to lose, and they're they're losing 1262 01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,280 Speaker 1: and heartbreaking ways. That's gotta be taking a toll in 1263 01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:08,640 Speaker 1: that locker room. The defense, I think, to West's point, 1264 01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:11,000 Speaker 1: has really had a chance to win a couple of 1265 01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,520 Speaker 1: these games. For I mean, it hasn't done it. So 1266 01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:19,400 Speaker 1: that is yeah, it is terrible bad luck has fallen 1267 01:02:19,440 --> 01:02:22,120 Speaker 1: on the Cowboys To think that Greg hard he's getting 1268 01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:24,960 Speaker 1: in his ninety thou dollar Cadillac at the end of 1269 01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,600 Speaker 1: these Sundays and it's disappointed. It does break my heart. 1270 01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:31,480 Speaker 1: The earth is not fair and that is a prime example. Okay, 1271 01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:35,440 Speaker 1: so that is the Sunday recap show. Great work, gentlemen, 1272 01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:39,120 Speaker 1: uh you know, as always, stellar job by everyone. In 1273 01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:42,360 Speaker 1: congratulation Greg. Another week on the throne of these eight 1274 01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:44,560 Speaker 1: No halfway to sixteen to know, is there any doubt 1275 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:46,520 Speaker 1: that the Cowboys are gonna go eight now in the 1276 01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:49,880 Speaker 1: second half? The Patriots the Patriots. Excuse me, why does 1277 01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:51,800 Speaker 1: it have to be about the Patriots? Well, I don't know. 1278 01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:53,840 Speaker 1: Everything is about the Patriots when you're on the throne 1279 01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,800 Speaker 1: of these exactly. This is uh. We'll be back on 1280 01:02:56,960 --> 01:03:00,480 Speaker 1: Tuesday where yes, we're gonna do get the four committy together. 1281 01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:06,000 Speaker 1: We're gonna our power poll sponsored by uh, you know nobody, 1282 01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:09,040 Speaker 1: but our power poll will be back at the midpoint 1283 01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,720 Speaker 1: talk about that. We might even break out one of 1284 01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,560 Speaker 1: our favorite games. But I'll leave it at that for now. 1285 01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:20,200 Speaker 1: So until then, this is Dan Hansens signing off for 1286 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:26,600 Speaker 1: the Quiet Storm, the Mailman, the Boss and TV behind 1287 01:03:26,640 --> 01:03:33,640 Speaker 1: the Glass until Tuesday.
