1 00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,628 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in 2 00:00:06,708 --> 00:00:27,068 Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio. Ya. Hey, welcome to Good Morning Football, 3 00:00:27,148 --> 00:00:29,868 Speaker 1: presented by Old Trapper Beef Jerky. We're live in New 4 00:00:29,948 --> 00:00:32,868 Speaker 1: York City, back in action. It's Monday, December twenty six. 5 00:00:33,028 --> 00:00:36,068 Speaker 1: I hope everybody had a fantastic holiday weekend. To my James, 6 00:00:36,148 --> 00:00:39,628 Speaker 1: Jamie Yard all It's Kyle Brant, Peter Schrager, Jason mccordy. Guys, 7 00:00:39,668 --> 00:00:41,588 Speaker 1: what did I feel like? That was straight one hundred 8 00:00:41,588 --> 00:00:45,228 Speaker 1: hours of football? At was a true gift. It was awesome. 9 00:00:45,268 --> 00:00:46,948 Speaker 1: I loved every bit of it. It wrapped up at 10 00:00:46,948 --> 00:00:48,948 Speaker 1: eleven forty six pm. Kyle, why don't you take us 11 00:00:48,948 --> 00:00:52,588 Speaker 1: through it all? Let go the desert? All right? So 12 00:00:52,708 --> 00:00:57,708 Speaker 1: Buccaneers versus Cardinals tom Brady's first Christmas game of his career. 13 00:00:57,908 --> 00:00:59,708 Speaker 1: I meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers is the all time leader in 14 00:00:59,788 --> 00:01:01,868 Speaker 1: Christmas Day touchdown passes. We'll get to him later. At 15 00:01:01,948 --> 00:01:06,548 Speaker 1: nineteen sixteen Tampa Bay wins. I think the math says 16 00:01:06,588 --> 00:01:08,668 Speaker 1: that they had more points than the other teams, like, 17 00:01:09,228 --> 00:01:13,308 Speaker 1: oh my god, we did it seven and eight your Buccaneers. 18 00:01:13,348 --> 00:01:17,108 Speaker 1: And after the game, then exhausted Tom Brady winning on 19 00:01:17,188 --> 00:01:21,188 Speaker 1: Christmas Day, took to the microphone go ahead. Yeah, you know, 20 00:01:21,228 --> 00:01:22,708 Speaker 1: we keep it close in the fourth quarter. We know 21 00:01:22,708 --> 00:01:24,668 Speaker 1: we got a shot and you know, just too many 22 00:01:24,668 --> 00:01:26,708 Speaker 1: plays to not get ahead. And then you know we 23 00:01:26,788 --> 00:01:28,548 Speaker 1: play better there in the fourth quarter. We execute it 24 00:01:28,548 --> 00:01:31,068 Speaker 1: pretty well, made a bunch of brooks and tackles. You know, 25 00:01:31,148 --> 00:01:32,908 Speaker 1: ran hard. A lot of guys make plays in the 26 00:01:32,908 --> 00:01:35,548 Speaker 1: past games and you know, contested catches kind of hit 27 00:01:35,588 --> 00:01:37,628 Speaker 1: as soon as they caught it and came up with it. 28 00:01:37,708 --> 00:01:40,428 Speaker 1: So defense really stepped up. It was a great way 29 00:01:40,468 --> 00:01:42,148 Speaker 1: to you know, down ten in the fourth quarter on 30 00:01:42,188 --> 00:01:43,468 Speaker 1: the road. It's great to find a way to win. 31 00:01:43,788 --> 00:01:45,788 Speaker 1: So this team has a lot of resiliency. We fight hard. 32 00:01:46,268 --> 00:01:47,788 Speaker 1: Seven and eight. You know, it's not where we want 33 00:01:47,788 --> 00:01:50,308 Speaker 1: to be, but got a chance to know. Championship game 34 00:01:50,348 --> 00:01:54,988 Speaker 1: next week. Earlier in the day, Packers and Dolphins in 35 00:01:55,068 --> 00:01:58,748 Speaker 1: a far more entertaining game. I would say it came 36 00:01:58,748 --> 00:02:02,148 Speaker 1: down to the final moments. Also, twenty six to twenty Packers. 37 00:02:02,188 --> 00:02:04,388 Speaker 1: It wasn't always pretty, but look at that they're seven 38 00:02:04,508 --> 00:02:07,988 Speaker 1: at eight and alive and here's Aaron Rodgers Cheshire grinning 39 00:02:08,068 --> 00:02:13,068 Speaker 1: all after a huge Packers win. Yeah, I mean I 40 00:02:13,068 --> 00:02:16,268 Speaker 1: don't think we've struggled with confidence, but definitely haven't had 41 00:02:16,308 --> 00:02:18,108 Speaker 1: a lot of believers outside locker room. I don't think. 42 00:02:18,148 --> 00:02:20,308 Speaker 1: So maybe let's give us a couple on the bandwagon. 43 00:02:20,548 --> 00:02:23,268 Speaker 1: Considering where we were a few weeks ago, A lot 44 00:02:23,268 --> 00:02:25,508 Speaker 1: has happened in our favor. All the games that neither 45 00:02:25,548 --> 00:02:27,308 Speaker 1: go a certain way win a certain way. Now there's 46 00:02:27,788 --> 00:02:31,988 Speaker 1: obviously much left, but we played meaningful games in December. 47 00:02:31,988 --> 00:02:34,108 Speaker 1: We won all three of those. Now we're playing meaningful 48 00:02:34,108 --> 00:02:38,468 Speaker 1: games in January. We got to win those. Twenty two 49 00:02:38,508 --> 00:02:40,428 Speaker 1: is pensive Aaron Rodgers. That's what I'm gonna go with 50 00:02:40,428 --> 00:02:43,068 Speaker 1: because Verse thoughtful about what he knows that they need 51 00:02:43,068 --> 00:02:45,588 Speaker 1: to happen for the Packers to make things work in January. 52 00:02:45,748 --> 00:02:48,588 Speaker 1: Here's the NFC playoff picture with just two games left 53 00:02:48,628 --> 00:02:51,668 Speaker 1: in the regular season. The Packers sit in the ten seat, 54 00:02:51,908 --> 00:02:54,788 Speaker 1: but they feel like the definition of lurking at this point. 55 00:02:55,268 --> 00:02:58,508 Speaker 1: They're getting hot with a quarterback like that, that's absolutely 56 00:02:58,508 --> 00:03:01,268 Speaker 1: who you do not want to let get hot. In December, 57 00:03:01,628 --> 00:03:05,148 Speaker 1: Green Bays comeback win over the Dolphins. Guys, they into Miami. 58 00:03:05,508 --> 00:03:07,068 Speaker 1: They were happy to be out of Green Bay. You'd 59 00:03:07,068 --> 00:03:10,148 Speaker 1: think it was on Christmas Day, Kyle, what do you 60 00:03:10,268 --> 00:03:13,828 Speaker 1: make of this comeback when, well, that was the game 61 00:03:13,988 --> 00:03:16,228 Speaker 1: when you looked at the Packers midseason said could they 62 00:03:16,228 --> 00:03:18,108 Speaker 1: do this? Could they do this? You looked at that 63 00:03:18,148 --> 00:03:20,108 Speaker 1: Miami game, You're like, I don't think I can beat Miami. 64 00:03:20,148 --> 00:03:21,948 Speaker 1: Miami's too good. They gotta go down. They can beat 65 00:03:21,948 --> 00:03:23,908 Speaker 1: the Bears and the Rent. This was the one and 66 00:03:23,988 --> 00:03:25,708 Speaker 1: they won. I still don't know how good they are, 67 00:03:25,788 --> 00:03:27,788 Speaker 1: but I don't care. Like the highlight of note in 68 00:03:27,828 --> 00:03:30,708 Speaker 1: that in the Packers performance on offense was a thirty 69 00:03:30,748 --> 00:03:33,028 Speaker 1: nine year old chucking a jump ball to a thirty 70 00:03:33,028 --> 00:03:35,748 Speaker 1: eight year old and Marcedes Lewis and that's your Packers. 71 00:03:36,028 --> 00:03:38,428 Speaker 1: This game was won because two a tongue of Iloa 72 00:03:38,508 --> 00:03:40,748 Speaker 1: lost his mind in the fourth quarter. But here's with 73 00:03:40,828 --> 00:03:42,588 Speaker 1: the state of the nation for the Packers right now. 74 00:03:42,988 --> 00:03:45,188 Speaker 1: I think this was a terrible day for people like 75 00:03:45,348 --> 00:03:48,868 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and the Cowboys, for Kirk Cousins and the Vikings, 76 00:03:49,188 --> 00:03:51,468 Speaker 1: because now it's real. Now, it's not this myth, it's 77 00:03:51,508 --> 00:03:54,028 Speaker 1: not this wouldn't it be crazy? They got two games 78 00:03:54,068 --> 00:03:55,988 Speaker 1: in front of them against two divisional opponents they're very 79 00:03:55,988 --> 00:03:57,948 Speaker 1: familiar with. Need a tad bit of help that they 80 00:03:57,948 --> 00:04:00,468 Speaker 1: could probably get, but this was the dull one and 81 00:04:00,548 --> 00:04:03,668 Speaker 1: now all that crap doesn't matter. Showing up like Nicholas Cage, 82 00:04:03,748 --> 00:04:06,668 Speaker 1: the rookies play, blah blah blah blah. They're here. They 83 00:04:06,708 --> 00:04:08,788 Speaker 1: beat the Dolphins, and now this is not a fallacy, 84 00:04:08,988 --> 00:04:11,108 Speaker 1: this is not a fantasy. This is a real thing 85 00:04:11,108 --> 00:04:12,788 Speaker 1: that they can make the playoffs and watch out the 86 00:04:12,988 --> 00:04:15,108 Speaker 1: roller right now. It's funny, you say a thirty year old, 87 00:04:15,268 --> 00:04:17,348 Speaker 1: thirty eight year old Marcedes Lewis. I remember being in 88 00:04:17,388 --> 00:04:20,308 Speaker 1: Tennessee playing against this guy. He was a veteran then 89 00:04:20,548 --> 00:04:24,268 Speaker 1: and he's still in the NFL. Unbelievable. I don't know 90 00:04:24,308 --> 00:04:26,988 Speaker 1: how good this Packers team is, but my goodness, the 91 00:04:26,988 --> 00:04:29,508 Speaker 1: way the Miami Dolphins fell apart in the fourth quarter. 92 00:04:29,708 --> 00:04:31,268 Speaker 1: Now you look at it two or through the three 93 00:04:31,268 --> 00:04:33,388 Speaker 1: interceptions and you sit there and you're like, but why, 94 00:04:33,508 --> 00:04:36,628 Speaker 1: Like what was transpiring? What happened? And these guys rushed 95 00:04:36,628 --> 00:04:39,348 Speaker 1: for fifty four yards and fifty six yards in the 96 00:04:39,388 --> 00:04:41,948 Speaker 1: first quarter. We saw most are getting the ball. Jeff 97 00:04:41,948 --> 00:04:44,708 Speaker 1: Wilson comes in, he's running the ball. The final three 98 00:04:44,788 --> 00:04:49,508 Speaker 1: quarters twenty six yards rushing, and the final three quarters 99 00:04:49,588 --> 00:04:52,428 Speaker 1: of that game. So you look at what Green Bay did. 100 00:04:52,468 --> 00:04:54,588 Speaker 1: They were able to drop back, they were able to 101 00:04:54,628 --> 00:04:56,108 Speaker 1: get their eyes on two. It they didn't have the 102 00:04:56,148 --> 00:04:58,468 Speaker 1: respect the run the same way. Later in the game, 103 00:04:58,508 --> 00:05:00,188 Speaker 1: he was just like, no, you know what, we're gonna 104 00:05:00,268 --> 00:05:02,268 Speaker 1: drop back right away. We're gonna get her eyes on 105 00:05:02,308 --> 00:05:04,388 Speaker 1: two and we're gonna force him to make a throw 106 00:05:04,548 --> 00:05:07,228 Speaker 1: in a tight window or take away his first option 107 00:05:07,268 --> 00:05:09,348 Speaker 1: and make him have to do something different. The one 108 00:05:09,348 --> 00:05:11,868 Speaker 1: to Joyre Alexander was such a hard pass because the 109 00:05:11,948 --> 00:05:14,308 Speaker 1: linebackers in front of Tyree Hill dropped back so far 110 00:05:14,508 --> 00:05:16,828 Speaker 1: and there were dbs behind him. A very hard pass 111 00:05:17,028 --> 00:05:20,148 Speaker 1: to get in between two people. Deveandre Campbell drops back, 112 00:05:20,228 --> 00:05:22,228 Speaker 1: reading his eyes is able to intercept the ball. It 113 00:05:22,308 --> 00:05:24,548 Speaker 1: was a linebacker on the other side of most start 114 00:05:24,628 --> 00:05:27,188 Speaker 1: as well. So they did a really good job adjusting 115 00:05:27,188 --> 00:05:29,428 Speaker 1: in the second half, trying to take away some of 116 00:05:29,428 --> 00:05:32,308 Speaker 1: those throws, forcing him to do something different than just 117 00:05:32,348 --> 00:05:34,828 Speaker 1: a play action passing the middle to Jail and Waddle 118 00:05:34,948 --> 00:05:36,348 Speaker 1: and Tyreek Hill. I think we need to have a 119 00:05:36,388 --> 00:05:39,188 Speaker 1: Dolphins conversation. Yeah, I think we need to talk about 120 00:05:39,228 --> 00:05:41,228 Speaker 1: what the heck has happened. If you wake up this morning, 121 00:05:41,228 --> 00:05:43,428 Speaker 1: you want answers, What the hell was that? This was 122 00:05:43,508 --> 00:05:46,588 Speaker 1: an all time Christmas Cole on the stocking for Dolphins fans. 123 00:05:46,588 --> 00:05:49,948 Speaker 1: And they have been so so worried about this happening 124 00:05:49,988 --> 00:05:52,868 Speaker 1: because they've been down here in December before, where they're 125 00:05:52,908 --> 00:05:54,908 Speaker 1: the hot team and they fall apart in December. It's 126 00:05:54,908 --> 00:05:57,428 Speaker 1: been twenty something years since the Dolphins have won a 127 00:05:57,468 --> 00:06:00,588 Speaker 1: playoff game, and it has been several years. I'd go 128 00:06:00,628 --> 00:06:03,308 Speaker 1: back to Ryan Tannehill and Matt Morrison's the Dolphins got 129 00:06:03,348 --> 00:06:05,708 Speaker 1: to a playoff game, and we a month ago like, 130 00:06:05,748 --> 00:06:07,988 Speaker 1: all right, the very least check it off. They're in 131 00:06:08,028 --> 00:06:10,428 Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's just are they going to be the 132 00:06:10,588 --> 00:06:13,508 Speaker 1: two seed, the three seed, the one seed? You know? 133 00:06:13,548 --> 00:06:16,628 Speaker 1: We came in and I especially on Monday morning, was like, hey, 134 00:06:16,908 --> 00:06:19,908 Speaker 1: they lost on Saturday night, but that's a moral victory. 135 00:06:19,948 --> 00:06:22,388 Speaker 1: And guess what they showed that they could they could 136 00:06:22,428 --> 00:06:24,628 Speaker 1: play and compete in the cold weather. What do you 137 00:06:24,668 --> 00:06:27,708 Speaker 1: say about yesterday? Yesterday you have a ten point lead 138 00:06:27,868 --> 00:06:30,668 Speaker 1: late in the second quarter and you give this game away. 139 00:06:30,908 --> 00:06:34,748 Speaker 1: This was an atrocity, and Dolphins fans are looking for answers. 140 00:06:35,468 --> 00:06:38,068 Speaker 1: We went from talking about two of being the MVP 141 00:06:38,268 --> 00:06:40,988 Speaker 1: of the league, the MVP of the league, and the 142 00:06:41,108 --> 00:06:44,308 Speaker 1: leading vote getter in the Pro Bowl games to now 143 00:06:44,508 --> 00:06:47,188 Speaker 1: to a not in the MVP conversation, to a not 144 00:06:47,308 --> 00:06:49,868 Speaker 1: in the Pro Bowl and legitimate questions whether they're two 145 00:06:49,948 --> 00:06:52,148 Speaker 1: can win another game this season. It's not gonna be 146 00:06:52,148 --> 00:06:54,188 Speaker 1: an easy path. They've got to go into New England 147 00:06:54,228 --> 00:06:56,668 Speaker 1: next week. That's another cold weather city that they have 148 00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:58,788 Speaker 1: no momentum right now. Do they have any confidence? This 149 00:06:58,868 --> 00:07:01,948 Speaker 1: is going to take everything in Mike McDaniel's bag and 150 00:07:02,148 --> 00:07:04,748 Speaker 1: everything in Tua's bag to find a way to rise 151 00:07:04,788 --> 00:07:08,828 Speaker 1: above from another nationally televised game where they led by 152 00:07:08,908 --> 00:07:12,268 Speaker 1: ten up in Buffalo and they led by ten down 153 00:07:12,348 --> 00:07:15,668 Speaker 1: here in Miami and gave the game away. Look, I 154 00:07:15,708 --> 00:07:17,788 Speaker 1: think they can still do it. I want to say 155 00:07:17,788 --> 00:07:21,348 Speaker 1: that I've got confidence that they can win against the Patriots, 156 00:07:21,388 --> 00:07:23,268 Speaker 1: that they can beat the Jets in Week eighteen. But 157 00:07:23,308 --> 00:07:26,628 Speaker 1: there's there's no concept of proof, Like, there's no version 158 00:07:26,668 --> 00:07:28,548 Speaker 1: of that that we've seen from this team. They have 159 00:07:28,628 --> 00:07:30,268 Speaker 1: fallen apart in December, and I thought that was just 160 00:07:30,308 --> 00:07:32,308 Speaker 1: because there's three road games and a tough game and 161 00:07:32,468 --> 00:07:34,708 Speaker 1: it no, no, no, Yesterday was inexplicable. You had the 162 00:07:34,708 --> 00:07:37,188 Speaker 1: game in your hand, in your home building, in one 163 00:07:37,228 --> 00:07:39,548 Speaker 1: of the warmest buildings in the entire league. Yeah, it 164 00:07:39,588 --> 00:07:41,828 Speaker 1: was the cold for Miami, but fifty degrees. I don't 165 00:07:41,828 --> 00:07:43,588 Speaker 1: want to hear your crying about the weather. That was 166 00:07:43,588 --> 00:07:45,788 Speaker 1: a tough loss. And if I'm a Dolphins fan, I 167 00:07:45,828 --> 00:07:47,948 Speaker 1: am in pain this morning. I'm sick. Yeah, I'm so 168 00:07:48,068 --> 00:07:51,188 Speaker 1: curious about this question. From a fan's perspective and a 169 00:07:51,188 --> 00:07:54,908 Speaker 1: player's perspective, which experience is less jarring this season? Is 170 00:07:54,908 --> 00:07:57,548 Speaker 1: it the Packers and everything they've been through? And who 171 00:07:57,628 --> 00:07:59,868 Speaker 1: is Rogers throwing too? And they can't believe they lost 172 00:07:59,908 --> 00:08:01,708 Speaker 1: this way and lost that way? And then your quarterback 173 00:08:01,748 --> 00:08:03,308 Speaker 1: has to get up there and be like we still 174 00:08:03,388 --> 00:08:05,868 Speaker 1: might have a chance. Was late October? Or is it 175 00:08:05,908 --> 00:08:08,108 Speaker 1: the Dolphins? You win three, you lose through, you win five, 176 00:08:08,148 --> 00:08:10,388 Speaker 1: you lose four. It's like what that to me? Is? 177 00:08:10,428 --> 00:08:13,108 Speaker 1: Just so which is easier to handle? Is it the 178 00:08:13,148 --> 00:08:15,748 Speaker 1: slow build or is it this and thinking that you're 179 00:08:15,788 --> 00:08:17,868 Speaker 1: going to squeak in? I won't say easier, but I'll 180 00:08:17,868 --> 00:08:20,548 Speaker 1: take the Green Bay Packers role because you start a 181 00:08:20,588 --> 00:08:22,628 Speaker 1: certain way and just like a right, fellows, like this 182 00:08:22,748 --> 00:08:24,228 Speaker 1: is where we are, this is who we are. We 183 00:08:24,268 --> 00:08:26,748 Speaker 1: have to dig ourselves out from Miami. I mean, we 184 00:08:26,748 --> 00:08:28,468 Speaker 1: were putting them in a super Bowl. They will haisten 185 00:08:28,508 --> 00:08:30,708 Speaker 1: the Lombardi at one point when they beat Buffalo in 186 00:08:30,748 --> 00:08:32,628 Speaker 1: Week three at a season. So now to see where 187 00:08:32,628 --> 00:08:35,948 Speaker 1: they're at devastating. I think those two highlights seeing Brady 188 00:08:35,948 --> 00:08:38,308 Speaker 1: and Rogers like it just continues to prove the point 189 00:08:38,708 --> 00:08:40,628 Speaker 1: you do not want these guys to be the slow 190 00:08:40,668 --> 00:08:44,548 Speaker 1: build in the season. Because the way Rogers looked yesterday, 191 00:08:44,708 --> 00:08:48,668 Speaker 1: even when things got tough, he still looked clever, He 192 00:08:48,748 --> 00:08:52,668 Speaker 1: looked connivingfn he looked down, right down. Earlier this season, well, 193 00:08:52,708 --> 00:08:54,828 Speaker 1: he would go three and out. When guys would drop 194 00:08:54,828 --> 00:08:58,188 Speaker 1: a ball, you would the classic Aaron Rodgers isoshot is 195 00:08:58,188 --> 00:09:00,908 Speaker 1: television gold, and you just kind of want to see 196 00:09:01,068 --> 00:09:04,308 Speaker 1: how he's gonna respond. And that smile we had not 197 00:09:04,508 --> 00:09:07,548 Speaker 1: seen in September, the Chesshire Grand we had not seen 198 00:09:07,548 --> 00:09:10,268 Speaker 1: that in October. All of a sudden, now he's carrying 199 00:09:10,348 --> 00:09:13,148 Speaker 1: himself a little bit differently. He's answering his questions a 200 00:09:13,148 --> 00:09:14,948 Speaker 1: little bit more of a quirk. We're not hearing the 201 00:09:14,948 --> 00:09:17,068 Speaker 1: word wobbly as much as we did in the first 202 00:09:17,068 --> 00:09:19,588 Speaker 1: couple of months. The slow build on the Packers is 203 00:09:19,788 --> 00:09:21,908 Speaker 1: very dangerous. I would not want to be the Minnesota 204 00:09:21,948 --> 00:09:24,108 Speaker 1: my things this week. M I hear that I'm gonna 205 00:09:24,148 --> 00:09:26,228 Speaker 1: make a third Lewis Carroll reference, and this We've done 206 00:09:26,228 --> 00:09:28,908 Speaker 1: two Chesshire Cat references already, and I like it. I 207 00:09:29,028 --> 00:09:31,188 Speaker 1: still am trying to figure out what character to a 208 00:09:31,188 --> 00:09:33,188 Speaker 1: tongue of Valo would be. In the fourth quarter, it 209 00:09:33,228 --> 00:09:35,108 Speaker 1: wasn't just the three interceptions. It was like he had 210 00:09:35,148 --> 00:09:36,588 Speaker 1: the yips or something. I don't mean to know what 211 00:09:36,668 --> 00:09:38,788 Speaker 1: he looked doing. It looked dazed, It looked like he 212 00:09:38,828 --> 00:09:40,868 Speaker 1: was on It looked like Zach Wilson for about twenty minutes, 213 00:09:40,868 --> 00:09:43,868 Speaker 1: like it looked really really bad eight and three. You 214 00:09:43,908 --> 00:09:46,228 Speaker 1: play five hundred football from that point and you're just 215 00:09:46,268 --> 00:09:48,788 Speaker 1: like you coached into the playoffs. Haven't once since Thanksgiving? 216 00:09:49,148 --> 00:09:50,868 Speaker 1: They have like what the Titans have right now. They 217 00:09:50,868 --> 00:09:53,308 Speaker 1: cannot win a football game, and I cannot believe the 218 00:09:53,308 --> 00:09:55,308 Speaker 1: way they lost that one. We love. The Rodgers thing 219 00:09:55,388 --> 00:09:57,788 Speaker 1: is fun, and I like the Rogers thing. That was 220 00:09:57,828 --> 00:10:02,948 Speaker 1: a two A tongue of Las passing in the first half. 221 00:10:02,948 --> 00:10:05,268 Speaker 1: I don't especially the last one. Most was on a 222 00:10:05,588 --> 00:10:08,708 Speaker 1: call saying they tricked him. They no, like they just 223 00:10:08,748 --> 00:10:10,508 Speaker 1: ran a coverage, just threw it to the just threw 224 00:10:10,548 --> 00:10:13,708 Speaker 1: it to reserve us. That one was tough. Statistically, the 225 00:10:13,748 --> 00:10:16,668 Speaker 1: Dolphins had him beat and the Packers still eat that 226 00:10:16,708 --> 00:10:20,108 Speaker 1: one out. Interesting Sunday afternoon, Let's get the latest from 227 00:10:20,108 --> 00:10:23,428 Speaker 1: around the league from a very medical notework insider, Ian Rappaport, 228 00:10:23,428 --> 00:10:25,108 Speaker 1: who had a very busy weekend as a US All 229 00:10:25,268 --> 00:10:27,468 Speaker 1: rap sheet. We did the OBJ thing for a while. 230 00:10:27,708 --> 00:10:30,268 Speaker 1: Let's kick up something new here. Let's talk Rob Gronkowski 231 00:10:30,468 --> 00:10:33,708 Speaker 1: and the rumors that are swirling about him. Well, this 232 00:10:33,788 --> 00:10:35,988 Speaker 1: is not exactly us kicking up something new. This has 233 00:10:35,988 --> 00:10:38,708 Speaker 1: actually Gronk himself. Remember last week he tweeted on board 234 00:10:38,708 --> 00:10:41,148 Speaker 1: and everyone's like, m does he want to play football again? Well, 235 00:10:41,148 --> 00:10:44,348 Speaker 1: teams were kin wondering too. A couple of teams contacted him, 236 00:10:44,388 --> 00:10:46,708 Speaker 1: contacted his aident just to see where he was. Was 237 00:10:46,708 --> 00:10:50,108 Speaker 1: he willing to unretire. Turns out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 238 00:10:50,148 --> 00:10:52,948 Speaker 1: actually had conversations with Gronk over the course of the 239 00:10:52,988 --> 00:10:55,908 Speaker 1: past weeks months, actually going all the way back to 240 00:10:55,988 --> 00:10:59,508 Speaker 1: training him just to see news possibly gonna unretire and 241 00:10:59,548 --> 00:11:01,908 Speaker 1: come back to the team. What we learned is that 242 00:11:02,108 --> 00:11:03,788 Speaker 1: it's not going to be this year. Gronk is not 243 00:11:03,828 --> 00:11:05,308 Speaker 1: going to come back. I can play for the Bucks 244 00:11:05,308 --> 00:11:08,788 Speaker 1: this year. He is retired for now, butternainly, from my understanding, 245 00:11:08,948 --> 00:11:11,788 Speaker 1: the door is open for twenty twenty three. And of 246 00:11:11,788 --> 00:11:14,588 Speaker 1: course we've talked Tom Brady, a free agent at the 247 00:11:14,668 --> 00:11:16,228 Speaker 1: end of this year. I know the Bucks spun him back, 248 00:11:16,268 --> 00:11:19,268 Speaker 1: but there is the possibility of him going somewhere else 249 00:11:19,268 --> 00:11:22,748 Speaker 1: that he doesn't retire. Wouldn't be surprised if Gronk followed 250 00:11:22,828 --> 00:11:25,668 Speaker 1: him wherever he went. Obviously, that is something we will 251 00:11:25,668 --> 00:11:28,748 Speaker 1: be keeping her eye in this offseason. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 252 00:11:28,788 --> 00:11:32,308 Speaker 1: Eagles lost this past weekend. Had they won, no way 253 00:11:32,348 --> 00:11:34,708 Speaker 1: we would see Jalen Hurts this week against the New 254 00:11:34,788 --> 00:11:36,748 Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. The fact that they lost, though, I mean 255 00:11:36,828 --> 00:11:38,868 Speaker 1: the number one seed is still out there. By is 256 00:11:38,868 --> 00:11:41,428 Speaker 1: still out there, and there is a possibility that we 257 00:11:41,548 --> 00:11:45,068 Speaker 1: see Jalen Hurts this weekend. It is an sec joint sprain, 258 00:11:45,188 --> 00:11:47,268 Speaker 1: It's a day to day injury, not considered to be 259 00:11:47,308 --> 00:11:49,908 Speaker 1: a major one. And you know, guys that he is 260 00:11:49,948 --> 00:11:51,628 Speaker 1: going to push to play, to be out there with 261 00:11:51,748 --> 00:11:54,468 Speaker 1: his team, to try to clinch the number one seed. 262 00:11:54,468 --> 00:11:57,788 Speaker 1: Another story that we will be following. And then there's 263 00:11:57,868 --> 00:12:00,788 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. This is the fourth week now of his 264 00:12:00,948 --> 00:12:03,628 Speaker 1: PCL springs, supposed to be a one to three week injury. 265 00:12:03,788 --> 00:12:05,588 Speaker 1: This is the week he was supposed to come back. 266 00:12:05,588 --> 00:12:07,748 Speaker 1: He actually, I know the team thought it would be 267 00:12:07,828 --> 00:12:11,108 Speaker 1: last week. Instead, this week is where all eyes turn. 268 00:12:11,108 --> 00:12:13,268 Speaker 1: They gonna put him on the field this week, see 269 00:12:13,308 --> 00:12:15,428 Speaker 1: if he can make football moves, see if his knee 270 00:12:15,428 --> 00:12:17,508 Speaker 1: is ready. But it's going to be fascinating to see. 271 00:12:17,748 --> 00:12:20,148 Speaker 1: Does the fact that the Ravens have a ready clinched 272 00:12:20,188 --> 00:12:23,628 Speaker 1: date playoffs spot alter the timeline for Alar? Do they 273 00:12:23,708 --> 00:12:26,228 Speaker 1: want to not put him in a harm's way to 274 00:12:26,268 --> 00:12:29,348 Speaker 1: make sure that he's healthy for the playoffs? Another story 275 00:12:29,388 --> 00:12:31,828 Speaker 1: that we will be tracking going forward. He and thank 276 00:12:31,868 --> 00:12:33,988 Speaker 1: you for the update on those two quarterbacks, But mostly 277 00:12:34,028 --> 00:12:36,108 Speaker 1: thank you for that Gronk Tom Brady update, because I 278 00:12:36,108 --> 00:12:37,428 Speaker 1: was worried we were going to have nothing to talk 279 00:12:37,428 --> 00:12:39,988 Speaker 1: about in the twenty twenty three off season. So thank 280 00:12:40,028 --> 00:12:41,988 Speaker 1: you for teating it up already and keep it afresh 281 00:12:41,988 --> 00:12:44,948 Speaker 1: for a couple of months. Absolutely, Bills, it bears no 282 00:12:44,988 --> 00:12:46,948 Speaker 1: way Buffalo is gonna blow this one in Chicago. Read 283 00:12:46,988 --> 00:12:48,868 Speaker 1: it's really cold and they were losing early. If the 284 00:12:48,868 --> 00:12:50,788 Speaker 1: Bills win him, then have to stay in Chicago Christmas Eve. 285 00:12:50,828 --> 00:12:53,348 Speaker 1: We'll talk about later. The Seahawks Chiefs. Chiefs win this 286 00:12:53,388 --> 00:12:55,988 Speaker 1: one twenty four to ten. They remain the two seat 287 00:12:56,228 --> 00:12:58,988 Speaker 1: in the AFC, just behind the bars. What Camp Mahomes 288 00:12:58,988 --> 00:13:01,508 Speaker 1: do the Cincinnati Bengals taking on the pages for Bengals 289 00:13:01,508 --> 00:13:05,868 Speaker 1: win twenty two to eighteen. Patriots playoff holes. Seems like 290 00:13:05,908 --> 00:13:09,628 Speaker 1: they're following by the wayside, but there's still alive. What 291 00:13:09,788 --> 00:13:12,508 Speaker 1: did Joe Burrow think of that when getting his first 292 00:13:12,508 --> 00:13:16,348 Speaker 1: one against annoying the Patriots? Oh? Man, Yeah, it was 293 00:13:17,428 --> 00:13:19,188 Speaker 1: up and down to say the least. You know, I'm 294 00:13:19,188 --> 00:13:21,828 Speaker 1: never gonna apologize for winning, you know, obviously a lot 295 00:13:21,868 --> 00:13:24,068 Speaker 1: of room to improve. First half was about as good 296 00:13:24,108 --> 00:13:26,588 Speaker 1: as it gets, and then after that we kind of 297 00:13:26,628 --> 00:13:28,948 Speaker 1: shot ourselves in the foot over and over and over again, 298 00:13:29,068 --> 00:13:31,308 Speaker 1: but found a way to do it. We didn't quit. 299 00:13:31,508 --> 00:13:33,828 Speaker 1: We fought hard and at the end of the day, 300 00:13:33,988 --> 00:13:36,028 Speaker 1: we gotta score more points and we got the ball 301 00:13:36,068 --> 00:13:38,468 Speaker 1: moving a little bit. But I just want to capitalize 302 00:13:38,468 --> 00:13:40,868 Speaker 1: and score more points. So falls on me as a 303 00:13:40,948 --> 00:13:44,268 Speaker 1: quarterback and super disappointing, but also a lot to look 304 00:13:44,308 --> 00:13:50,188 Speaker 1: back on and realize that we have fighters on this team. Okay, 305 00:13:50,228 --> 00:13:52,908 Speaker 1: well that was a happy Joe Burrow, which we see 306 00:13:52,908 --> 00:13:55,828 Speaker 1: a lot in a dejected Mac Jones, which, unfortunately for 307 00:13:55,868 --> 00:13:57,908 Speaker 1: the Patriots, we see a lot. So we're gonna take 308 00:13:57,948 --> 00:13:59,668 Speaker 1: a look at the ft playoff picture now after this 309 00:13:59,708 --> 00:14:03,268 Speaker 1: weekend and how it settles. The Bengals stay in the 310 00:14:03,348 --> 00:14:06,028 Speaker 1: third seat, They've already clinched a playoff birth, so that's 311 00:14:06,068 --> 00:14:09,028 Speaker 1: good and done. I put four straight losses from the 312 00:14:09,028 --> 00:14:11,908 Speaker 1: Dolphins the Patriots. That means that they are still lurking 313 00:14:12,108 --> 00:14:14,708 Speaker 1: at seven and eight. So if New England wins their 314 00:14:14,788 --> 00:14:17,788 Speaker 1: last two, that's it. They're in the controller own destiny 315 00:14:17,868 --> 00:14:20,348 Speaker 1: win it in win your last two and in Bengals win. Though, 316 00:14:20,468 --> 00:14:23,228 Speaker 1: as Joe Burrow said, it was up and down rough 317 00:14:23,228 --> 00:14:25,708 Speaker 1: flash to the Patriots, Jay, where do you go from here? 318 00:14:26,108 --> 00:14:28,148 Speaker 1: I'm looking at New England. It was up and down 319 00:14:28,188 --> 00:14:30,268 Speaker 1: for Cincinnati and Joe burrowing them, but it was up 320 00:14:30,308 --> 00:14:32,108 Speaker 1: and down for Newying. I mean, that game starts and 321 00:14:32,108 --> 00:14:33,988 Speaker 1: I'm at home and I'm watching it, and I'm like, 322 00:14:34,148 --> 00:14:36,708 Speaker 1: my goodness, like New England may lose by forty. The 323 00:14:36,708 --> 00:14:39,348 Speaker 1: way Joe Burrow came out, hitting his receivers, putting points 324 00:14:39,388 --> 00:14:41,668 Speaker 1: up Irwin in the end zone, it was just like, 325 00:14:41,828 --> 00:14:44,148 Speaker 1: what is going on with the New England Patriots defense. 326 00:14:44,188 --> 00:14:46,788 Speaker 1: We know the offensive struggle, but it just looks too 327 00:14:46,988 --> 00:14:49,868 Speaker 1: easy for Joe Burrow and this offense. And then the 328 00:14:49,908 --> 00:14:52,668 Speaker 1: second half begins and it's just like, the Patriots have 329 00:14:52,708 --> 00:14:55,188 Speaker 1: a chance, they may actually win this game. And I 330 00:14:55,228 --> 00:14:57,028 Speaker 1: think we look at this team and we're like, all right, 331 00:14:57,068 --> 00:14:58,868 Speaker 1: this is the second game in the role the game 332 00:14:58,908 --> 00:15:01,308 Speaker 1: has ended with the offense turning the ball over to 333 00:15:01,628 --> 00:15:03,868 Speaker 1: lose their chances of winning that game. And it's just 334 00:15:03,908 --> 00:15:06,348 Speaker 1: like this wining the Patriots team. It's not the same 335 00:15:06,388 --> 00:15:08,628 Speaker 1: as New England Patriot teams of the past. Each and 336 00:15:08,668 --> 00:15:10,828 Speaker 1: every year, you have to prove that you know how 337 00:15:10,868 --> 00:15:13,068 Speaker 1: to win. You have to prove this whole mont that 338 00:15:13,108 --> 00:15:15,908 Speaker 1: they say the Patriot way of winning games and not 339 00:15:16,028 --> 00:15:17,868 Speaker 1: losing him And this is the second week in a 340 00:15:17,948 --> 00:15:20,668 Speaker 1: row and Stevenson has been one of their best players 341 00:15:20,748 --> 00:15:23,188 Speaker 1: all year long. You couple that with the fact that 342 00:15:23,508 --> 00:15:25,588 Speaker 1: Nick Folkson is two extra points in this game, and 343 00:15:25,628 --> 00:15:27,548 Speaker 1: I know it was gold, I know it was windy 344 00:15:27,548 --> 00:15:30,348 Speaker 1: but this is Nick Folk. This guy's been automatic since 345 00:15:30,388 --> 00:15:33,508 Speaker 1: he's been a New England Patriots. So Cincinnati played well. 346 00:15:33,508 --> 00:15:36,268 Speaker 1: Their winning streak extends and their defense continues to come 347 00:15:36,348 --> 00:15:39,508 Speaker 1: up with opportunistic turnovers late in games to keep them 348 00:15:39,508 --> 00:15:41,868 Speaker 1: in it. But my goodness, the New England Patriots team 349 00:15:41,948 --> 00:15:43,548 Speaker 1: was just like, what is this? What do you do 350 00:15:43,588 --> 00:15:45,108 Speaker 1: with them now? Because they're still winning in do you 351 00:15:45,108 --> 00:15:46,668 Speaker 1: have any faith that this team can make a run? 352 00:15:46,948 --> 00:15:49,268 Speaker 1: My brother obviously plays for the team for his sake, 353 00:15:49,628 --> 00:15:54,508 Speaker 1: just lose, like well, book a vacation for January. What 354 00:15:54,508 --> 00:15:56,388 Speaker 1: do you mean? I don't think. I don't think they 355 00:15:56,428 --> 00:15:58,428 Speaker 1: have a chance to win. And when I say win, 356 00:15:58,468 --> 00:16:00,868 Speaker 1: I don't mean all right, we stumble into the playoffs 357 00:16:00,948 --> 00:16:03,348 Speaker 1: and now we're here, let's do a dance. But I 358 00:16:03,428 --> 00:16:05,868 Speaker 1: was in that building for for three seasons. You want 359 00:16:05,868 --> 00:16:08,068 Speaker 1: to win Super Bowls, you get into the playoffs to 360 00:16:08,268 --> 00:16:10,588 Speaker 1: ultimately get to the Lombardi. I do not think the 361 00:16:10,708 --> 00:16:12,988 Speaker 1: New England Patriots this year have enough to win the 362 00:16:13,028 --> 00:16:15,588 Speaker 1: Super Bowls? Is that because of Mac and like offense 363 00:16:15,668 --> 00:16:17,348 Speaker 1: or like they just don't have any jo It's a 364 00:16:17,428 --> 00:16:19,668 Speaker 1: huge part of the defense and special teams have put 365 00:16:19,708 --> 00:16:22,788 Speaker 1: up more points this year than the offense. That is alarming, 366 00:16:22,988 --> 00:16:25,908 Speaker 1: more points. The defense and the special teams have more 367 00:16:25,948 --> 00:16:28,428 Speaker 1: points than the offense. You're not you're not winning with that. 368 00:16:28,548 --> 00:16:30,788 Speaker 1: You think, as that organization, better to like not even 369 00:16:30,868 --> 00:16:33,348 Speaker 1: make the playoffs than to lose again in the wildcard round, 370 00:16:33,348 --> 00:16:36,628 Speaker 1: and just better for the organization. I won't say I'll 371 00:16:36,628 --> 00:16:40,388 Speaker 1: make that statement. They didn't decide that for themselves. Mac 372 00:16:40,468 --> 00:16:42,388 Speaker 1: Jones has turned into Grayson Allen right in front of 373 00:16:42,428 --> 00:16:44,788 Speaker 1: us for all kinds of weird reasons, doing strange stuff 374 00:16:44,788 --> 00:16:47,988 Speaker 1: at the end of plays. It's it's a bizarre watch. 375 00:16:48,188 --> 00:16:50,948 Speaker 1: In the meantime, enough of the Patriots. The Bengals haven't 376 00:16:50,948 --> 00:16:53,508 Speaker 1: lost the game I think since Halloween, and guys, I 377 00:16:53,508 --> 00:16:55,628 Speaker 1: think we're about one hundred and sixty eight hours away 378 00:16:55,668 --> 00:16:58,308 Speaker 1: from Bengals Bills, which would be next Monday Nights, which 379 00:16:58,388 --> 00:17:00,988 Speaker 1: is the game of December, and we will talk about 380 00:17:00,988 --> 00:17:03,868 Speaker 1: it at nauseum. Josh Allen and Joe Burrow've never faced 381 00:17:03,908 --> 00:17:05,868 Speaker 1: each other. This is the first time thing number one 382 00:17:05,908 --> 00:17:07,948 Speaker 1: seed hangs in the balance. A team that has won 383 00:17:08,108 --> 00:17:10,028 Speaker 1: seven in a row versus a team that's won several 384 00:17:10,028 --> 00:17:11,868 Speaker 1: in a row as well. The Bengals have it all 385 00:17:11,908 --> 00:17:14,108 Speaker 1: going on, and that is a monster game one week 386 00:17:14,148 --> 00:17:17,108 Speaker 1: from tonight. So I have a new category for December games, 387 00:17:17,268 --> 00:17:19,068 Speaker 1: teams especially that are going to make the playoffs, which 388 00:17:19,148 --> 00:17:21,308 Speaker 1: is like the red alert button. So like the Dolphins, 389 00:17:21,348 --> 00:17:23,188 Speaker 1: I hit it this weekend for the Dolphins, like and 390 00:17:23,188 --> 00:17:25,228 Speaker 1: it's with style of play. It's not about oh, you 391 00:17:25,348 --> 00:17:27,228 Speaker 1: lost this game, where you won this game. I'm hovering 392 00:17:27,228 --> 00:17:29,428 Speaker 1: over the red alert for the Bengals only because you 393 00:17:29,468 --> 00:17:32,348 Speaker 1: won that game. Great, But you can't play like that 394 00:17:32,428 --> 00:17:35,068 Speaker 1: at times against the Bills, for example, against some of 395 00:17:35,068 --> 00:17:36,668 Speaker 1: the teams that you're going to go up against in 396 00:17:36,708 --> 00:17:38,908 Speaker 1: the playoffs. So hover over your button and figure it out. 397 00:17:38,948 --> 00:17:41,428 Speaker 1: Because there were flickers. There were moments against a really 398 00:17:41,468 --> 00:17:44,228 Speaker 1: good Patriots defense with Josh Hucha and Matthew Jude on 399 00:17:44,268 --> 00:17:46,668 Speaker 1: two sacks, but then the offensive line clamped it down, 400 00:17:46,748 --> 00:17:48,628 Speaker 1: which I was proud of them for because there were 401 00:17:48,628 --> 00:17:51,828 Speaker 1: flickers of September when we saw Joe Burrow getting chased around. 402 00:17:51,828 --> 00:17:53,748 Speaker 1: But the fact that they allowed two sacks and then 403 00:17:53,748 --> 00:17:56,188 Speaker 1: they didn't allow Burrow to get out of swords and 404 00:17:56,268 --> 00:17:59,628 Speaker 1: the whole offense to look dysfunctional. I just like a 405 00:17:59,668 --> 00:18:01,868 Speaker 1: little concern with some spots there. But I think if 406 00:18:01,868 --> 00:18:04,148 Speaker 1: they fix it, they are a fantastic team and they're 407 00:18:04,148 --> 00:18:07,788 Speaker 1: really powerful. But I'm hovering huge win for Aaron Rodgers 408 00:18:07,828 --> 00:18:09,588 Speaker 1: and Tom Brady. We gotta talk about those two guys 409 00:18:09,628 --> 00:18:11,548 Speaker 1: because I feel like we don't give them enough time. No, 410 00:18:11,668 --> 00:18:15,268 Speaker 1: we don't see them. I don't know if that means 411 00:18:27,228 --> 00:18:29,908 Speaker 1: two games left in the regular season, Aaron Packers are 412 00:18:29,908 --> 00:18:33,708 Speaker 1: sitting in a Tennessee lurking, lurking, but they're getting hot. 413 00:18:33,908 --> 00:18:38,348 Speaker 1: And then the Buccaneers are hanging around, which is the 414 00:18:38,468 --> 00:18:41,028 Speaker 1: right way to say that, yet they are leading their division. 415 00:18:41,068 --> 00:18:42,988 Speaker 1: It's just the way things are happening right now in 416 00:18:43,028 --> 00:18:45,868 Speaker 1: the ncas out they are hanging around Rogers and the 417 00:18:45,908 --> 00:18:48,788 Speaker 1: Packers braiding the books or even one of these teams 418 00:18:48,788 --> 00:18:51,348 Speaker 1: poised for a deep playoff run, but more from a 419 00:18:51,868 --> 00:18:55,028 Speaker 1: which would be the wilder story if they did accomplish 420 00:18:55,148 --> 00:18:57,948 Speaker 1: such a feat. You see them in late midd late January, 421 00:18:58,068 --> 00:19:00,788 Speaker 1: what's the why more, what's the best way to have more? 422 00:19:00,788 --> 00:19:05,348 Speaker 1: Wild Wilder? Wildest wilder wilder situation? Pete wild and Who's 423 00:19:05,348 --> 00:19:08,388 Speaker 1: Gonna be wild? And Out? In late January, Theater Packers 424 00:19:08,428 --> 00:19:11,428 Speaker 1: lost to the Lions fifteen to nine. A couple of 425 00:19:11,468 --> 00:19:14,548 Speaker 1: months ago, they were on a Thursday night at home 426 00:19:14,588 --> 00:19:17,468 Speaker 1: with everything on the line, everything's going on, and Derrick 427 00:19:17,508 --> 00:19:19,708 Speaker 1: Henry ran all over them and they lost twenty seven 428 00:19:19,748 --> 00:19:23,348 Speaker 1: to seventeen. The following week they played the Eagles tough, 429 00:19:23,508 --> 00:19:26,548 Speaker 1: they lost forty to thirty three. The Packers were dead. 430 00:19:26,548 --> 00:19:29,748 Speaker 1: In week twelve, they beat the Bears, they have a bye. 431 00:19:30,108 --> 00:19:33,268 Speaker 1: They beat the Rams. How they beat the Dolphins? How 432 00:19:33,308 --> 00:19:36,108 Speaker 1: did the NFC let the Packers back in the club? 433 00:19:36,468 --> 00:19:38,668 Speaker 1: How did you do it? He's still book in your hand. 434 00:19:38,868 --> 00:19:40,948 Speaker 1: You don't want him back in the club. And now 435 00:19:40,948 --> 00:19:43,268 Speaker 1: he's alive. Here's all they need? And I say all 436 00:19:43,268 --> 00:19:45,028 Speaker 1: they need. But they got everything they needed this week. 437 00:19:45,068 --> 00:19:47,348 Speaker 1: Why not do it again? If they win each of 438 00:19:47,388 --> 00:19:50,948 Speaker 1: their final two games versus Minnesota and versus Detroit, and 439 00:19:51,188 --> 00:19:54,028 Speaker 1: also get at least one loss by Washington or two 440 00:19:54,068 --> 00:19:57,308 Speaker 1: losses by the Giants, they're in. So just hold your 441 00:19:57,308 --> 00:20:00,148 Speaker 1: own at home against the Vikings team that has everything 442 00:20:00,188 --> 00:20:02,308 Speaker 1: clinched in the NFC North and a lion seem that 443 00:20:02,308 --> 00:20:05,708 Speaker 1: you've owned the last three decades. And then also in 444 00:20:05,788 --> 00:20:08,508 Speaker 1: addition to that, just have Washington lose one of these 445 00:20:08,508 --> 00:20:10,508 Speaker 1: games to Cleveland, Dallas, and then the Packers are in 446 00:20:10,788 --> 00:20:14,308 Speaker 1: It's a wild story considering they were dead and buried, 447 00:20:14,348 --> 00:20:17,108 Speaker 1: they were done, we had buried them in late November, 448 00:20:17,188 --> 00:20:19,348 Speaker 1: and Rogers basically laid it out and it's like, we 449 00:20:19,388 --> 00:20:22,108 Speaker 1: need a lot of things to happen. He is sitting 450 00:20:22,148 --> 00:20:24,308 Speaker 1: there at the podium yesterday and he's basically like, we 451 00:20:24,348 --> 00:20:28,428 Speaker 1: needed everything to happen. That happened, and I'm talking Detroit 452 00:20:28,508 --> 00:20:31,228 Speaker 1: and explicably losing in Carolina, the Giants losing it the 453 00:20:31,308 --> 00:20:35,468 Speaker 1: last second to the Vikings, Washington, keeping up with San Francisco, 454 00:20:35,588 --> 00:20:38,428 Speaker 1: then following apart at the end and losing. Everything the 455 00:20:38,468 --> 00:20:41,108 Speaker 1: Packers needed they got and then they finished the job 456 00:20:41,188 --> 00:20:43,268 Speaker 1: and won the game after being down ten in the 457 00:20:43,348 --> 00:20:45,588 Speaker 1: first half. It would be a wilder story because of 458 00:20:45,708 --> 00:20:48,588 Speaker 1: Roger's complete air of just hey, take the world as 459 00:20:48,588 --> 00:20:50,748 Speaker 1: it comes. We're gonna be okay. Just everything's gonna fall 460 00:20:50,748 --> 00:20:54,988 Speaker 1: into place, and it is. It is. Gosh. I'm not 461 00:20:55,028 --> 00:20:58,028 Speaker 1: an ayahuasca guy. I don't go into that world. No, 462 00:20:58,108 --> 00:21:01,108 Speaker 1: I haven't been yet. But Rogers Shure seemed pretty confident 463 00:21:01,148 --> 00:21:02,868 Speaker 1: and pretty cock sure if you don't if you don't 464 00:21:02,908 --> 00:21:05,788 Speaker 1: mind me saying about this half and yet everything they 465 00:21:05,828 --> 00:21:07,868 Speaker 1: need is happening. It's as if he saw this in 466 00:21:07,908 --> 00:21:11,268 Speaker 1: the stars or something. It's crazy. Maybe he read it 467 00:21:11,308 --> 00:21:13,708 Speaker 1: somewhere and it's in the vision, but he was right. 468 00:21:13,828 --> 00:21:15,308 Speaker 1: Not all the people outside of that building thought they 469 00:21:15,308 --> 00:21:16,788 Speaker 1: had a shot, But should they have, you know what 470 00:21:16,828 --> 00:21:18,308 Speaker 1: I mean? Like and maybe they don't have a shot. 471 00:21:18,348 --> 00:21:20,788 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe allot think why it would be the wilder story. 472 00:21:20,828 --> 00:21:24,028 Speaker 1: But it's pretty darn wild that we saw them lose 473 00:21:24,068 --> 00:21:25,668 Speaker 1: on a Thursday night and then they lost the following 474 00:21:25,708 --> 00:21:28,308 Speaker 1: week on Sunday night to the Eagles, and yet yeah, 475 00:21:28,508 --> 00:21:31,028 Speaker 1: here they are Packers. To me is the answer. I 476 00:21:31,068 --> 00:21:33,748 Speaker 1: cannot believe this. Yeah, I'm gone with the Packers as well. 477 00:21:33,788 --> 00:21:35,468 Speaker 1: And you just you kind of alluded to it. They 478 00:21:35,508 --> 00:21:37,908 Speaker 1: lost that Thursday night game to the Titans, then lost 479 00:21:37,948 --> 00:21:40,188 Speaker 1: at Eagles, and it was just like, well that's it. 480 00:21:40,228 --> 00:21:42,308 Speaker 1: They lost all these games. They beat to Dallas Cowboys. 481 00:21:42,348 --> 00:21:44,348 Speaker 1: They were just like, the Packers are back, they have 482 00:21:44,508 --> 00:21:46,428 Speaker 1: a chance. And for me, you look at Tampa Bay 483 00:21:46,428 --> 00:21:48,468 Speaker 1: and it's just like their team. They still have all 484 00:21:48,508 --> 00:21:51,108 Speaker 1: their guys. Mike Evans came back, they signed Julio Jones, 485 00:21:51,428 --> 00:21:55,788 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, obviously, Leonard Fournett shot. So the Green Bay 486 00:21:55,828 --> 00:21:58,748 Speaker 1: Packers all preseason we talked about who is Aaron Rodgers 487 00:21:58,828 --> 00:22:01,028 Speaker 1: going to throw the ball to Davante Adams? Is gone? 488 00:22:01,148 --> 00:22:03,228 Speaker 1: Is gonna be There's Romeo Dobs kid. Nope, he goes 489 00:22:03,228 --> 00:22:05,788 Speaker 1: down when an injury. Course Watson starts the season off, 490 00:22:05,868 --> 00:22:08,188 Speaker 1: drops his first pass and it's just like wow, this 491 00:22:08,228 --> 00:22:10,428 Speaker 1: guy ends up being a bus then he comes along. 492 00:22:10,468 --> 00:22:12,748 Speaker 1: So this Green Bay Packers team has just been fun 493 00:22:12,788 --> 00:22:15,428 Speaker 1: to watch as of late because they found a way 494 00:22:15,468 --> 00:22:18,908 Speaker 1: to win games. Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, these guys are 495 00:22:18,948 --> 00:22:21,708 Speaker 1: going to work, and I never thought Green Bay was 496 00:22:21,708 --> 00:22:24,428 Speaker 1: gonna be in it. For the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, their 497 00:22:24,428 --> 00:22:26,348 Speaker 1: division was so bad that it was just like, well, 498 00:22:26,348 --> 00:22:28,828 Speaker 1: there's nowhere furtherm to go because we said, hey, if 499 00:22:28,828 --> 00:22:30,868 Speaker 1: you can haul it, you can have it. And still 500 00:22:30,948 --> 00:22:33,788 Speaker 1: that division it's still DIRS because nobody wants to run 501 00:22:33,868 --> 00:22:35,748 Speaker 1: away with it. The Green Bay Packers were a team 502 00:22:35,868 --> 00:22:38,148 Speaker 1: that I thought had no shot. At one point, I 503 00:22:38,188 --> 00:22:40,508 Speaker 1: didn't think they were gonna win this weekend versus Miami Dolphins. 504 00:22:40,548 --> 00:22:43,148 Speaker 1: I thought Miami would get back on track and green 505 00:22:43,188 --> 00:22:46,068 Speaker 1: Bay somehow or another, they've continued to come away with 506 00:22:46,148 --> 00:22:48,948 Speaker 1: ways to still be alive and Aaron Rodgers. Do I 507 00:22:49,028 --> 00:22:51,508 Speaker 1: think they're going to do it? I personally don't. I'm 508 00:22:51,508 --> 00:22:53,708 Speaker 1: watching the games. I see so many people saying the 509 00:22:53,868 --> 00:22:56,628 Speaker 1: game with chance, he's back, He's back. Green Bay still 510 00:22:56,628 --> 00:22:58,588 Speaker 1: doesn't look great, but they have a chance to be 511 00:22:58,668 --> 00:23:01,188 Speaker 1: in it. And once you're in it, who knows He 512 00:23:01,588 --> 00:23:03,548 Speaker 1: answer has to be Green Bay. I don't want to 513 00:23:03,548 --> 00:23:06,228 Speaker 1: talk about Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay was losing to Trace 514 00:23:06,308 --> 00:23:08,748 Speaker 1: McSorley by ten points last night. We're all frustrated with 515 00:23:08,748 --> 00:23:11,388 Speaker 1: Tampa because they won't do it. But come with me 516 00:23:11,468 --> 00:23:13,828 Speaker 1: if you will back like we're all kind of doing 517 00:23:13,868 --> 00:23:16,948 Speaker 1: a couple of months. I asked our Emmy winning production staff, 518 00:23:17,148 --> 00:23:19,708 Speaker 1: all I want for the entire Monday show is just 519 00:23:19,748 --> 00:23:21,828 Speaker 1: give me a harp. Do you have a harp? So 520 00:23:21,948 --> 00:23:25,468 Speaker 1: come with me back now to run Week ten, Week eleven, 521 00:23:25,508 --> 00:23:28,228 Speaker 1: in which the Packers had just beaten the Dallas Cowboys. 522 00:23:28,268 --> 00:23:31,348 Speaker 1: Let's take a magical journey back through time. Let me 523 00:23:31,348 --> 00:23:33,628 Speaker 1: give a little context with it, please, all right, So 524 00:23:34,308 --> 00:23:37,108 Speaker 1: they're four and six. I think to get to the 525 00:23:37,108 --> 00:23:38,948 Speaker 1: playoffs reason, I think they have to go five and 526 00:23:39,028 --> 00:23:40,868 Speaker 1: two the rest of the way. That would get them 527 00:23:40,868 --> 00:23:43,268 Speaker 1: to nine and eight and maybe they sneak in as 528 00:23:43,308 --> 00:23:45,628 Speaker 1: a wild card. We're all excited backs to beat the Cowboys. 529 00:23:45,628 --> 00:23:47,668 Speaker 1: They lost to the Lions the week before. Can they 530 00:23:47,668 --> 00:23:49,068 Speaker 1: go on a run? You think they go five and two? 531 00:23:49,068 --> 00:23:53,148 Speaker 1: We're even six and one. So there's a beautiful harp. 532 00:23:53,228 --> 00:23:54,948 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. I feel like I was at 533 00:23:54,948 --> 00:23:56,788 Speaker 1: like a mother's day brunching and nice will tell her something. 534 00:23:56,788 --> 00:23:59,468 Speaker 1: Thank you very much for the harp. Four and six, okay, 535 00:23:59,668 --> 00:24:01,388 Speaker 1: And I said they got to be five and two, 536 00:24:01,788 --> 00:24:04,508 Speaker 1: sure enough. After that they lost their next two. The 537 00:24:04,788 --> 00:24:06,548 Speaker 1: five and two part of that was checked off in 538 00:24:06,588 --> 00:24:08,548 Speaker 1: the lost column. Then we get to lose five in 539 00:24:08,548 --> 00:24:11,148 Speaker 1: a row, and we can sell it enough that not 540 00:24:11,228 --> 00:24:13,508 Speaker 1: only did they lose the Philadelphia in their last loss, 541 00:24:14,028 --> 00:24:16,268 Speaker 1: Rogers could barely move because he was injured, and he 542 00:24:16,348 --> 00:24:18,948 Speaker 1: said afterwards, he says, I can't rotate my body. My 543 00:24:19,068 --> 00:24:21,508 Speaker 1: ribs hurt. I have trouble breathing. So they're like, oh, 544 00:24:21,548 --> 00:24:24,228 Speaker 1: they're royally screwed. Jordan Love talk on the show so 545 00:24:24,308 --> 00:24:27,988 Speaker 1: much they have been shows here and certainly on other networks, 546 00:24:28,188 --> 00:24:30,908 Speaker 1: was like, you have to put in Jordan Love now never, 547 00:24:31,188 --> 00:24:34,788 Speaker 1: And I said, not until mathematical elimination. You do not 548 00:24:34,908 --> 00:24:37,748 Speaker 1: disrespect Rogers like that. You have your bye week against 549 00:24:37,748 --> 00:24:39,388 Speaker 1: the Bears, you have your real bye week. You have 550 00:24:39,428 --> 00:24:41,148 Speaker 1: another bye week against the zombie Rams. And then the 551 00:24:41,188 --> 00:24:43,668 Speaker 1: Dolphins game that was everything. Last night changed everything. This 552 00:24:43,908 --> 00:24:46,148 Speaker 1: changed the deal because it was the one that they 553 00:24:46,148 --> 00:24:49,028 Speaker 1: were not going to get. Every little illustration of the 554 00:24:49,068 --> 00:24:51,628 Speaker 1: Packers making the playoffs, always the records scratch. When they 555 00:24:51,668 --> 00:24:54,028 Speaker 1: got to the Dolphins, they can't beat the Dolphins. Know 556 00:24:54,068 --> 00:24:56,388 Speaker 1: they beat the Dolphins. They beat the Dolphins triumphantly. And 557 00:24:56,428 --> 00:24:58,468 Speaker 1: now we got the Vikings and the Lions, their old buddies. 558 00:24:58,508 --> 00:25:00,468 Speaker 1: They put them in the headlock in manoogie like they 559 00:25:00,468 --> 00:25:01,988 Speaker 1: had a lot of history against them. I think it's happening. 560 00:25:02,028 --> 00:25:03,868 Speaker 1: I do. I don't think the help is insignificant that 561 00:25:03,908 --> 00:25:07,148 Speaker 1: they need. Yeah, those losses by the Commanders or whatnot, 562 00:25:07,228 --> 00:25:09,108 Speaker 1: they may not happen, and that would be the ultimate. 563 00:25:09,188 --> 00:25:10,988 Speaker 1: It's strange ending if they did win these games and 564 00:25:11,028 --> 00:25:12,428 Speaker 1: still didn't get in. But I like them in the 565 00:25:12,428 --> 00:25:14,428 Speaker 1: Commander's final two games there at home as well, So 566 00:25:14,468 --> 00:25:16,308 Speaker 1: someone's got to go there and beat them to help 567 00:25:16,348 --> 00:25:20,828 Speaker 1: the Packers. The Wilder definition means who's down and out more. 568 00:25:21,508 --> 00:25:24,108 Speaker 1: And that's Tom Brady to me, the Buccaneers are counted out, 569 00:25:24,228 --> 00:25:27,508 Speaker 1: which means it would imply a wilder finish. I know 570 00:25:27,508 --> 00:25:29,588 Speaker 1: we don't want to talk about the Buccaneers, don't, but 571 00:25:29,668 --> 00:25:32,428 Speaker 1: here's what it is. If they win the division, the Buccaneers, 572 00:25:32,508 --> 00:25:36,028 Speaker 1: they're hosting a playoff game against maybe the Dallas Cowboys, 573 00:25:36,108 --> 00:25:38,388 Speaker 1: and if they ring in the Cowboys at home and 574 00:25:38,428 --> 00:25:41,268 Speaker 1: beat them. Wild. If the Packers go to Minnesota in 575 00:25:41,348 --> 00:25:44,108 Speaker 1: the first wild car Vegan not that wild. I mean, 576 00:25:44,188 --> 00:25:46,948 Speaker 1: that's just the definition of how that division has worked 577 00:25:46,948 --> 00:25:50,468 Speaker 1: out historically this season, the NFC North and the NFC South. 578 00:25:50,588 --> 00:25:52,748 Speaker 1: It would be so much more wild. If Tom Brady 579 00:25:53,268 --> 00:25:56,308 Speaker 1: gets in and that actually does something with him quite 580 00:25:56,308 --> 00:25:58,548 Speaker 1: a story if you go back to last January right 581 00:25:58,588 --> 00:26:01,068 Speaker 1: and about the journey that Brady has been on. If 582 00:26:01,068 --> 00:26:02,748 Speaker 1: they somehow end up in the super Bowl, it's just 583 00:26:03,508 --> 00:26:07,668 Speaker 1: it seems like this team is just not good. Yeah, 584 00:26:07,748 --> 00:26:11,308 Speaker 1: but they have talent. That's why it's so like what 585 00:26:11,508 --> 00:26:13,988 Speaker 1: is happening in December twenty six. I feel like we've 586 00:26:14,028 --> 00:26:16,268 Speaker 1: been waiting for that talent for four months to show up. 587 00:26:16,388 --> 00:26:18,188 Speaker 1: The craziest stories if you go back to January and 588 00:26:18,188 --> 00:26:20,428 Speaker 1: the retirement. Then he ends up losing Andy Dalton Saints 589 00:26:20,428 --> 00:26:22,508 Speaker 1: and they get in the playoffs. That's a wild story. 590 00:26:23,948 --> 00:26:25,788 Speaker 1: You know who has wild stories covered left and right 591 00:26:25,828 --> 00:26:30,508 Speaker 1: all the time from around the league. L Network Insider 592 00:26:30,548 --> 00:26:35,108 Speaker 1: Ian quarterback injuries, quarterback changes. What's the latest. We'll start 593 00:26:35,108 --> 00:26:37,268 Speaker 1: with the Philadelphia Eagles. You know, had they been in 594 00:26:37,268 --> 00:26:39,188 Speaker 1: the Cowboy, I would say there's no chance we're going 595 00:26:39,268 --> 00:26:42,668 Speaker 1: to see Jalen Hurts this weekend against these New Orleans Saints. 596 00:26:42,708 --> 00:26:44,948 Speaker 1: You guys are just talking about. But the Eagles didn't win, 597 00:26:45,108 --> 00:26:47,228 Speaker 1: so now they need to win. They need to get 598 00:26:47,268 --> 00:26:49,548 Speaker 1: the number one Seeds still want to get a buy. 599 00:26:49,628 --> 00:26:51,708 Speaker 1: It's all out there for them. Jalen Hurts gonna push 600 00:26:51,748 --> 00:26:54,828 Speaker 1: to play this week. It is an sc joint spraying 601 00:26:54,828 --> 00:26:57,308 Speaker 1: in his shoulder, considered day to day, not really a 602 00:26:57,388 --> 00:27:00,028 Speaker 1: major injury. Still up in the air about whether or 603 00:27:00,068 --> 00:27:02,948 Speaker 1: not he goes. I'm just saying there is at least 604 00:27:02,948 --> 00:27:05,628 Speaker 1: a chance, and he's as competitive as they come. You know, 605 00:27:05,868 --> 00:27:08,668 Speaker 1: he is going to want to play. Meanwhile, the Washington 606 00:27:08,708 --> 00:27:11,828 Speaker 1: Commanders now also have a quarterback issue of their own. 607 00:27:11,948 --> 00:27:15,028 Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke, who's been their starter for most of this season. Really, 608 00:27:15,028 --> 00:27:17,388 Speaker 1: one of the feel good stories in the NFL was 609 00:27:17,468 --> 00:27:20,148 Speaker 1: bench for Carson Wentz. It was all about finishing drives. 610 00:27:20,188 --> 00:27:23,028 Speaker 1: They did not do it. Put Wentz in actually look 611 00:27:23,068 --> 00:27:24,628 Speaker 1: pretty good, and you know, there's a lot of benefit 612 00:27:24,708 --> 00:27:28,388 Speaker 1: here to seeing Carson Wentz. Despite the fact that I 613 00:27:28,468 --> 00:27:30,268 Speaker 1: should say whether or not he's gonna end up being 614 00:27:30,268 --> 00:27:33,828 Speaker 1: the better quarterback, there's some future things, future reasons they 615 00:27:33,828 --> 00:27:36,108 Speaker 1: may want to see Carson Wentz with this young offense, 616 00:27:36,348 --> 00:27:38,308 Speaker 1: see him for the future, have to make a decision 617 00:27:38,308 --> 00:27:40,948 Speaker 1: about next year. All of that. Wouldn't be surprised if 618 00:27:40,948 --> 00:27:44,348 Speaker 1: we see Carson Wentz going forward here for the Commanders. 619 00:27:44,748 --> 00:27:46,508 Speaker 1: And then there's the Jets who've been kind of out 620 00:27:46,508 --> 00:27:50,388 Speaker 1: of sight, out of mind since Thursday, really really really 621 00:27:50,468 --> 00:27:52,268 Speaker 1: rough lost there and they know everyone saying, well, how 622 00:27:52,268 --> 00:27:55,468 Speaker 1: could you put Zach Wilson out there again? They may 623 00:27:55,508 --> 00:27:58,508 Speaker 1: have to. Mike White is getting scans on his ribs 624 00:27:58,748 --> 00:28:00,388 Speaker 1: that is going to be early this week. If he 625 00:28:00,468 --> 00:28:03,548 Speaker 1: clears he is going to start, which is everything the 626 00:28:03,628 --> 00:28:06,268 Speaker 1: Jets hope he does not. I wouldn't be surprised if 627 00:28:06,308 --> 00:28:09,868 Speaker 1: he's Zach Wilson out there again, if only because he's 628 00:28:09,908 --> 00:28:11,868 Speaker 1: the best option they have as a starting quarterback of 629 00:28:11,948 --> 00:28:15,588 Speaker 1: White can't go. Here is a segment pitch for the 630 00:28:15,588 --> 00:28:17,908 Speaker 1: rest of the week. Who had a rougher Christmas weekend? 631 00:28:17,948 --> 00:28:21,468 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson or Zach Wilson MK. We'll have to pose 632 00:28:21,508 --> 00:28:23,308 Speaker 1: that on a Tuesday or Wednesday rap sheet. Thank you 633 00:28:23,388 --> 00:28:26,348 Speaker 1: very much for keeping us updated. I don't know, I 634 00:28:26,388 --> 00:28:29,348 Speaker 1: know coming up, what's this a state? I'm not going 635 00:28:29,428 --> 00:28:31,268 Speaker 1: to read that sense. What is a statement win for 636 00:28:31,308 --> 00:28:34,428 Speaker 1: the Cowboys? Are they pretenders or contenders? Right after this 637 00:28:34,508 --> 00:28:51,228 Speaker 1: we'll talk Cowboys, I promise. Jalen Hurts isn't playing. But 638 00:28:51,308 --> 00:28:53,548 Speaker 1: let's get to Cody Parkey, the kicker, not what's that? 639 00:28:54,788 --> 00:28:56,948 Speaker 1: What's that guy's name, Jake take Elliott? I had just 640 00:28:56,988 --> 00:29:00,148 Speaker 1: Cody parking him. I'm sorry, guys. Dak Prescott started this 641 00:29:00,188 --> 00:29:01,788 Speaker 1: game with a pick six and it was like, oh 642 00:29:01,828 --> 00:29:04,228 Speaker 1: my god, that's too consecutive because he ended last weeks 643 00:29:04,548 --> 00:29:06,628 Speaker 1: of the pick six and you're like, oh no, they're 644 00:29:06,628 --> 00:29:09,508 Speaker 1: in huge trouble here. That's Josh sweat his stiff arm 645 00:29:09,548 --> 00:29:11,028 Speaker 1: and the deck says, it's my fault. We know, Dak, 646 00:29:11,108 --> 00:29:12,988 Speaker 1: we know that after that pick six he was lights out. 647 00:29:13,068 --> 00:29:18,268 Speaker 1: He was really really really good Cowboys forty to thirty four, unbelievable. 648 00:29:18,308 --> 00:29:21,908 Speaker 1: They still have a chance now to grab that NFC East, 649 00:29:21,908 --> 00:29:24,068 Speaker 1: to the chagrin of our entire production with the Laurel 650 00:29:24,108 --> 00:29:26,468 Speaker 1: New Jersey after that win on Saturday, and here's what 651 00:29:26,588 --> 00:29:30,468 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott had to say about that possibility. This might 652 00:29:30,508 --> 00:29:32,668 Speaker 1: be the first of two times here late in the 653 00:29:32,748 --> 00:29:34,268 Speaker 1: year that we're gonna have to play these guys, and 654 00:29:34,588 --> 00:29:36,308 Speaker 1: it's just about I think that was a good win. 655 00:29:36,348 --> 00:29:38,108 Speaker 1: I think that was a good win for the team, 656 00:29:38,148 --> 00:29:40,388 Speaker 1: complimentary win. I know obviously they're going to think about 657 00:29:40,388 --> 00:29:42,068 Speaker 1: that next time that we play them, and that's what 658 00:29:42,188 --> 00:29:44,348 Speaker 1: you want. Hey, if they go and help us out 659 00:29:44,428 --> 00:29:46,308 Speaker 1: and drop a couple of games, hell yeah, we're gonna 660 00:29:46,348 --> 00:29:48,348 Speaker 1: take the title. I mean, that's that's awesome. But we 661 00:29:48,428 --> 00:29:49,988 Speaker 1: have no say so on that at this point. All 662 00:29:49,988 --> 00:29:52,148 Speaker 1: we can do is continue to win out and hope 663 00:29:52,148 --> 00:29:55,908 Speaker 1: on that. So Gardner Minshew's valiant effort wasn't enough to 664 00:29:55,908 --> 00:29:58,228 Speaker 1: take down Dak, and the Cowboys learned a lot I 665 00:29:58,268 --> 00:30:01,708 Speaker 1: think from both teams throughout that entire game. Takeaways though 666 00:30:01,708 --> 00:30:04,988 Speaker 1: from Saturday Nights Special and Electric Match Show really fun 667 00:30:05,028 --> 00:30:06,988 Speaker 1: to watch. It was it was the game of the week, really, 668 00:30:06,988 --> 00:30:08,828 Speaker 1: and I think Dak Prescott might have been the best 669 00:30:08,828 --> 00:30:11,588 Speaker 1: player on a football field. You mentioned it pick six earlier, like, 670 00:30:11,628 --> 00:30:13,188 Speaker 1: here we go again, Dak in a big game. I 671 00:30:13,228 --> 00:30:15,468 Speaker 1: can't believe this is happening. And then completes fourteen straight 672 00:30:15,508 --> 00:30:18,268 Speaker 1: passes when they needed a most third and thirty Kyle 673 00:30:18,388 --> 00:30:20,188 Speaker 1: third and thirty at t y Hill and who signed 674 00:30:20,268 --> 00:30:22,668 Speaker 1: earlier in the week. I've been looking for the Dak 675 00:30:22,748 --> 00:30:24,308 Speaker 1: game and it's not going to be a ninety eight 676 00:30:24,388 --> 00:30:27,988 Speaker 1: yard drive against the woeful Texans. I'm talking about Christmas 677 00:30:28,028 --> 00:30:32,188 Speaker 1: Eve National TV. Dak Prescott won this game for the Cowboys. 678 00:30:32,268 --> 00:30:33,828 Speaker 1: They were able to come back from a ten point 679 00:30:33,828 --> 00:30:36,468 Speaker 1: deficit late. Dak led them there. I thought Dak had 680 00:30:36,508 --> 00:30:39,268 Speaker 1: to silence a lot of haters, not just on this network, 681 00:30:39,348 --> 00:30:42,188 Speaker 1: maybe one that sat in that chair Jason who Dak 682 00:30:42,388 --> 00:30:44,628 Speaker 1: is dad, who compared Dack to a body part and 683 00:30:44,708 --> 00:30:47,948 Speaker 1: talking about LESA McCoy esau posterior end like it was 684 00:30:48,068 --> 00:30:50,268 Speaker 1: not so its subtly to that time. I love I 685 00:30:50,348 --> 00:30:52,388 Speaker 1: love Leshan's take because he just says like it is 686 00:30:52,428 --> 00:30:54,548 Speaker 1: in his own head, but like Dak like answers it. 687 00:30:54,548 --> 00:30:56,668 Speaker 1: And I think Dak silenced a lot of critics and 688 00:30:57,108 --> 00:30:59,268 Speaker 1: silence a lot of people talking about his day. Yeah, 689 00:30:59,348 --> 00:31:02,428 Speaker 1: my gosh, shady speaking just like an Eagles former player. 690 00:31:02,748 --> 00:31:05,028 Speaker 1: There's a lot of hate for Dallas, for Dak, but 691 00:31:05,308 --> 00:31:07,228 Speaker 1: you're right, he showed up and he showed out and 692 00:31:07,548 --> 00:31:09,788 Speaker 1: one on the defensive side of the ball for them, 693 00:31:10,028 --> 00:31:12,428 Speaker 1: they gave up four hundred and forty two yards. Minshew 694 00:31:12,468 --> 00:31:15,708 Speaker 1: had three fifty five and two touchdowns, but they came 695 00:31:15,748 --> 00:31:17,788 Speaker 1: away with takeaways. And when you can do that as 696 00:31:17,788 --> 00:31:20,188 Speaker 1: a defense, you get the ball back to Dak Prescott 697 00:31:20,228 --> 00:31:22,828 Speaker 1: in the offense and you give yourself an opportunity to 698 00:31:22,828 --> 00:31:26,228 Speaker 1: put points on the board. Three of those turnovers came 699 00:31:26,508 --> 00:31:28,748 Speaker 1: and late in the second half, and then Duran Bland. 700 00:31:28,788 --> 00:31:31,628 Speaker 1: This guy continues to make plays. Had an interception last 701 00:31:31,628 --> 00:31:34,628 Speaker 1: week against Trevor Lawrence. This week, takes the ball away 702 00:31:34,828 --> 00:31:36,828 Speaker 1: from Tress Watkins. Then they forced a fumble in the 703 00:31:36,868 --> 00:31:39,748 Speaker 1: fourth quarter. So for them right now, on defense, you're 704 00:31:39,748 --> 00:31:42,828 Speaker 1: coming away with big takeaways to give your offense a chance. 705 00:31:42,868 --> 00:31:45,708 Speaker 1: They had zero sacks yesterday. That's something that they're gonna 706 00:31:45,708 --> 00:31:47,988 Speaker 1: have to figure out, especially when you have Michael Parsons 707 00:31:48,028 --> 00:31:50,708 Speaker 1: out there. Lane Johnson goes down on an injury, you 708 00:31:50,788 --> 00:31:52,508 Speaker 1: have to be able to get to Gardner Minshew and 709 00:31:52,548 --> 00:31:54,708 Speaker 1: get them down. But when I look at this Cowboys defense, 710 00:31:54,708 --> 00:31:56,708 Speaker 1: they're struggling a little bit. But when you're able to 711 00:31:56,708 --> 00:31:59,028 Speaker 1: create turnovers, it gives you so much of a boost. 712 00:31:59,188 --> 00:32:01,708 Speaker 1: It shifts momentum and it creates a sudden change for 713 00:32:01,828 --> 00:32:04,708 Speaker 1: the opposite team where they have to now step up 714 00:32:04,708 --> 00:32:06,668 Speaker 1: and try to hold you out. You look at Green Bay, 715 00:32:06,708 --> 00:32:09,828 Speaker 1: they won turnovers on tour in the fourth quarter. Dallas 716 00:32:09,868 --> 00:32:12,348 Speaker 1: able to win this game two turnovers in the fourth quarter. 717 00:32:12,508 --> 00:32:16,788 Speaker 1: It just helps you tremendously when you can get those. Yeah, man, really, 718 00:32:17,388 --> 00:32:19,628 Speaker 1: I thought that was good. He did every single second 719 00:32:19,628 --> 00:32:21,588 Speaker 1: to win at home against the team without the MVP 720 00:32:21,748 --> 00:32:24,028 Speaker 1: of the league. I guess it's good. It's fine. You 721 00:32:24,068 --> 00:32:26,028 Speaker 1: gave up thirty four points last week. He gave up 722 00:32:26,068 --> 00:32:29,108 Speaker 1: forty points and seem any different this team winning in 723 00:32:29,148 --> 00:32:31,828 Speaker 1: the playoffs. It's fine. It's a great win. Dad came back. 724 00:32:31,828 --> 00:32:34,148 Speaker 1: Blah blah blah. A million people are saying that that's awesome. 725 00:32:34,468 --> 00:32:36,548 Speaker 1: I don't know. They needed every single second to be 726 00:32:36,548 --> 00:32:38,988 Speaker 1: the guy who hasn't played all year in Gardner Minshew 727 00:32:39,028 --> 00:32:40,508 Speaker 1: who almost ripped their heart out at the end of 728 00:32:40,548 --> 00:32:42,628 Speaker 1: the game. It's fine, they're good. They're eleven and four. 729 00:32:42,628 --> 00:32:44,028 Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll win the Super Bowl. What do you guy, 730 00:32:44,108 --> 00:32:47,108 Speaker 1: job that's such a tame. I'm sure though, I'm sure 731 00:32:47,148 --> 00:32:49,028 Speaker 1: that everything's fine with Dallas. No win the whole Super 732 00:32:49,028 --> 00:32:51,348 Speaker 1: Bowl like they do every year. It's great, good job, job, guys. 733 00:32:51,388 --> 00:32:53,588 Speaker 1: You won a game. It was at home, a national TV. 734 00:32:53,788 --> 00:32:55,708 Speaker 1: And what do you want for me? You want me 735 00:32:55,748 --> 00:32:59,108 Speaker 1: to say, yeah, this could be it's it's not. It's fine. 736 00:32:59,108 --> 00:33:01,108 Speaker 1: They're the cowboys. They're the same cowboys every year. Here 737 00:33:01,108 --> 00:33:02,988 Speaker 1: comes the trade and here comes your slop, and here 738 00:33:02,988 --> 00:33:05,868 Speaker 1: comes the lunch. Lady. It's the same thing. It tastes great. 739 00:33:06,148 --> 00:33:08,828 Speaker 1: It's a lot of sugar on it. How much nutritional values? 740 00:33:08,868 --> 00:33:10,388 Speaker 1: And I don't know, not that much. It's fine. You 741 00:33:10,428 --> 00:33:12,628 Speaker 1: could talk about the Eagles. You could just zag and 742 00:33:12,668 --> 00:33:17,268 Speaker 1: avoid the topic. That's what I'm gonna do. J Brown's goods. 743 00:33:18,068 --> 00:33:20,148 Speaker 1: DeVante Smith is really good and I think you should 744 00:33:20,148 --> 00:33:25,988 Speaker 1: package up that sweatshirt. His toe drag swag this weekend 745 00:33:25,988 --> 00:33:28,988 Speaker 1: was unbelievable and it was snowy. That was that was 746 00:33:29,028 --> 00:33:32,108 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Cash Boy man late in the game, he 747 00:33:32,228 --> 00:33:35,548 Speaker 1: had a moment. The Eagles needed it bad, something bad, 748 00:33:35,588 --> 00:33:37,708 Speaker 1: and he dragged those toes. And so there was a 749 00:33:37,748 --> 00:33:40,948 Speaker 1: controversy two years ago. Oh, Davante Smith didn't submit his 750 00:33:41,068 --> 00:33:43,588 Speaker 1: measurements coming into the draft. Did it a pro day? 751 00:33:43,588 --> 00:33:45,828 Speaker 1: What's this? I don't care. His wingspan must get too 752 00:33:46,908 --> 00:33:50,468 Speaker 1: next two hundred inches? My god, the way he extended 753 00:33:50,948 --> 00:33:53,908 Speaker 1: that's dangerous. A. J. Brown's had a fantastic year. But 754 00:33:53,948 --> 00:33:56,188 Speaker 1: if you're telling me that Davante Smith is gonna come 755 00:33:56,188 --> 00:33:59,468 Speaker 1: down all of a sudden and be a one A option, 756 00:33:59,628 --> 00:34:03,028 Speaker 1: not even option, to look out because he kept him 757 00:34:03,028 --> 00:34:04,948 Speaker 1: in there and he was really big and he supported 758 00:34:04,988 --> 00:34:06,828 Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew in a way that the Eagles needed it. 759 00:34:06,908 --> 00:34:09,468 Speaker 1: This weekend, Coylestle's stewing over there. Everything you're saying is 760 00:34:09,468 --> 00:34:12,468 Speaker 1: great about Philadelphia and the receivers, and now it's like 761 00:34:12,508 --> 00:34:14,988 Speaker 1: they give you this little nugget. They're like, hey, maybe 762 00:34:14,988 --> 00:34:16,868 Speaker 1: they can win the NFC East. Maybe I'm sure they 763 00:34:16,908 --> 00:34:19,668 Speaker 1: will hit down live will I'm sure he goes lose two. 764 00:34:19,668 --> 00:34:21,948 Speaker 1: And they went to there of them coming up on 765 00:34:22,028 --> 00:34:27,908 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football, the King they escaped, stope with another 766 00:34:28,108 --> 00:34:30,308 Speaker 1: game or the skin of their teeth and the laces 767 00:34:30,348 --> 00:34:33,908 Speaker 1: on the foot of Great Joseph Stack wins baby. Plus 768 00:34:34,268 --> 00:34:37,348 Speaker 1: the Bills. Can they break free from the chains? They 769 00:34:37,428 --> 00:34:39,788 Speaker 1: moved the chains for sure against Chicago. They ran it up. 770 00:34:39,868 --> 00:34:42,548 Speaker 1: Shout out Carney wherever you are. The Bills did not 771 00:34:42,628 --> 00:34:44,508 Speaker 1: slip up, but they had all the sin of strained 772 00:34:44,548 --> 00:34:47,068 Speaker 1: situation where they couldn't leave Chicago after the game. We're 773 00:34:47,068 --> 00:34:49,508 Speaker 1: gonna get into this. Josh Allen did his thing, Alexa play, 774 00:34:49,548 --> 00:34:50,628 Speaker 1: Wilson Phillips hold on,
