00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Be Around the NFL Podcast. He's waiting for Sessler to

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,880
Speaker 1: finish his rate. Welcome to another edition at the Around

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: the NFL Podcast. My name is Dan Hansons. I come

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: to you from a virtual room that is filled with heroes.

5
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler, Greg Rosenthal, and Chris Westling. What's up boys?

6
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: Hey man, everybody. Chris Wesling, you know how about this?

7
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: West West said, I'm gonna pick one game to come

8
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: on and make a cameo on the Sunday Show today.

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: And if you're gonna come on for one game, West,

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: how about this? The Cleveland Browns in a playoff game,

11
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: not just appearing in a game, Mark Sessler winning a

12
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 1: playoff game, not just against any team, but against the

13
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Stealers. Are you feeling, Forday that that aged me? Um?

14
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: And yet it also d aged me at the same time.

15
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how that's possible. And Wes, I really

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: thank you for coming on because I know you know, Um,

17
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: we've been through a lot regarding to Cleveland Browns on

18
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: our show and our own conversations. So um, I you know,

19
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: if it is like the game ended four minutes ago

20
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: for me to come on and offer um tangible rational

21
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: thoughts will be a challenge. I will attempt to. I'm

22
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: just beginning to realize what has happened. I can't imagine

23
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: what percentage of our listenership thought of Mark Quinn. It

24
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: was about three minutes left in the first quarter. Brown's

25
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: already had two interceptions of Big Ben. They scored on

26
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: the missnap over Big Ben's head, up twenty one to nothing,

27
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: about to go up twenty eight to nothing, the most

28
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: points ever scored in a postseason game in the first quarter,

29
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: and Chris collins Worre says, I don't think there's a

30
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: single person in Cleveland who feels comfortable right now. And

31
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: it was. It was very impressent by Mr Collinsworth because

32
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: things did get interesting. Uh. And we're gonna get to

33
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: all of that, including all the other games in Super

34
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: wild Card Weekend six in total, three Saturday, three Sunday.

35
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: We're gonna cover them all one by one, and we'll

36
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: go in reverse chronological order, which yes takes us to

37
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 1: Heinz Field, the site of a massacre and the sham

38
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: coach high over the head of Big Bed, all the

39
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: way back to the tone to the one of the

40
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,239
Speaker 1: props have it in the end zone and they dig

41
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: on the wall and recover it. Alright, touch own, Carl

42
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 1: John Ship's got it in the end zone. Touchdown. Not

43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: a bad start. Ship's nothing Brown, not a bad start.

44
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: That great Brown's Radio network with the call the ound,

45
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: scored twenty eight unanswered points in the first quarter. White

46
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: knuckled their way through the inevitable Steelers come back, then

47
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: got big plays and their best players that close out

48
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: a forty five to excuse me, a forty eight to

49
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: thirty seven win over the hated Pittsburgh Steelers, the biggest

50
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: win for this organization since it's reboot. By far Mark,

51
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: You've waited a long time for this moment. How does

52
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: it feel to watch your Browns beat the Steelers in

53
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: fantastic fashion? It feels um, I don't know. It's uh.

54
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: The one thing I'd say about the Cleveland fan base,

55
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: and I really felt this over the course of this week, Um,

56
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: because you knew it was it was win or lose,

57
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: and it was fans interacting with like Ernest spiner In,

58
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: Eric Metcalfe and Bernie Kozar and uh players of old

59
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: and um Butch Davis chiming In and Joe Thomas and

60
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: Andrew Hawkins that so many people, I feel like, over

61
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: the years have wanted to make the Cleveland Browns a

62
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: fun experience have tried. Um. Players have gone there and

63
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: toiled and to no results, no, no playoff results. Um.

64
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: And the fans have been through um utter hell. And there.

65
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: I you know, I certainly I think highly of other

66
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 1: fan bases that go through the same thing, and they

67
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: showed the same loyalty, and UM, it's settling in for me.

68
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: I'm just one person that roots for this team. But

69
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: I I knew that I never wanted to walk away

70
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: from them, and I didn't know if there would ever

71
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: be a reward, and I don't know as an adult

72
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: that it could ever really would it be the same

73
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: as the seven or eight, seventh or eighth grade version

74
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 1: of me that lived and died so hard by this team.

75
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: It cracked through a little bit, it did. I can't

76
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: if I love it too. And it's it's not the

77
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: same as maybe when you or seventh and eighth grade.

78
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: But I'm just looking at you right now, I mean,

79
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: Mark is being mean. The dichotomy right now between Mark's

80
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: face at this moment and like its oozing out and

81
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: the look on Mark's face at the end of the

82
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: third quarter when he was conscripted by our jobs at

83
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: Sky Sports to come on. Happened to be me and

84
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: Mark in the rotation. Although they were definitely gonna have

85
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: Mark in the rotation, they weren't gonna miss that opportunity. Uh.

86
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: And at that point it was fourth down for the Steelers.

87
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: They had already um, you know, cut the lead, I

88
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: think to twelve. It's at midfield. Um. And Mark, you know,

89
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: handled it all very professionally. When when our friend Neil

90
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,119
Speaker 1: Reynolds uh goes to him, you know, you know, just

91
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: just trying to put this how are you feeling right now? Mark,

92
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: It's like, please, you know, unpack your pain and anxiety

93
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: for all of us and Mark. Mark kind of white

94
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: knuckled through it. But you know, he took some shots

95
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: at people who were premature celebrating, and he said his

96
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: confidence level was at about one in one hundred and uh.

97
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: And you could feel the anxiety and everything building up

98
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: to that moment. And it's great to look back to

99
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 1: it because that was a turning point. Right after that

100
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin, you know, christ for Sessler and all the

101
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: Browns fans there they've been some weird Yeah, there's been

102
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: some weird punts this weekend, and that that might have

103
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: been a height of it. And Greg, you you said,

104
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: put it on Nick Chubb, And soon after Nick Chubb scored.

105
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: And I think that's the first moment that I started

106
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: to feel like, um, even my own pessimism and anxiety

107
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: in twenty thirty plus years of fandom, um might not

108
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 1: be enough to get in the way. And and and

109
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: you know, if anything, the sky Sports crew are total allies,

110
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: and like so I you know I was it wasn't

111
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 1: I didn't want to expose my total um, the real meat,

112
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: which is like I don't feel positive until like the

113
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: final whistle of these games. Um, not a great time

114
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: to be podcasting myself to the United Kingdom. But uh,

115
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: it was like five in the morning there, so probably

116
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: twelve people saw it anyways, Like, um, it's a totally

117
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: surreal experience. So yeah, we did. We did a bunch

118
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: of stuff with sky Sports this weekend. And I I

119
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: was doing the hit with Mark after the first quarter

120
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: when it was twenty eight nothing and I get maybe

121
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: Mark was taking shots at me. At the end of

122
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: the third just I said, I declared it over. I mean,

123
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,119
Speaker 1: twenty eight nothing. If they would ever ever blown that game,

124
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: that would have been maybe the end of the Browns.

125
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what would have happened. That's certainly the

126
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 1: end of Mark Sessler. To the point where I was

127
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: texting Greg in a nervous manner, uh like, I don't

128
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: know what we're going to do with the podcast if

129
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: something bad happens here, Because West, I know you're watching

130
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: the game as well, and you you're noticing the same

131
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: thing everybody else is. You know, it's twenty eight nothing,

132
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: and it's seven, and then oh then it's thirty five, seven, sixteen,

133
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,119
Speaker 1: thirty five, twenty two, and all of a sudden, it's like, Okay,

134
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: what's going on here? Did you ever have a doubt? West?

135
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: Or did it always feel like it was in the

136
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: bag for Cleveland? I had doubts? I did, um, just

137
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: because of who the Steelers are, what their DNA is,

138
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: and who the Browns are and what their DNA is

139
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: through the years. It's like the little brother big brother thing.

140
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: And um, I think you tip your cap to Alex

141
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: van Pelt, who is not the regular play caller and

142
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: who kept passing the ball and they kept scoring to

143
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: answer the Steelers scores. Tip your captain Baker Mayfield who

144
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: came through on those passes, and Nick Chubb, who is

145
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 1: a difference maker. Like you know, I think Greg said

146
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: it well, put it on Nick Chubb because all season long,

147
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,559
Speaker 1: you no matter what you think about Baker or O'Dell

148
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: or Kevin's Tefanski, when you play the Cleveland Browns, you

149
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 1: have to deal with Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt. That

150
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: is a championship pack field. One is a rushing champion,

151
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 1: is rookie year. The other might be the one or

152
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 1: two top one or two best running backs in the NFL,

153
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: and you had to deal with him every time you

154
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: play the Browns. Cecler, do you want to hear the

155
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: Jim Donovan Doug Deacon call of the uh Nick Chubb

156
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: forty yard touchdown in the fourth quarter? Yeah? I would

157
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: love to. All right, let's hear that. Mark looks post

158
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: second to got a bridge coming there, tree pass right side,

159
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: Here comes job, he's going, He's going in touchdown. Great job,

160
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: great play call. Right there you go, Mark. I'm happy

161
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: for Jim. Think imagine you know, um, I'm one who

162
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 1: has occasionally complained about long NFL Sundays, and we've seen

163
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: a few, but I mean Donovan please, I mean, hey,

164
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: how often is he featured on our show? Because it's

165
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 1: he's typically um, you know, broadcasting an l so this

166
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: is quite different for him. And on the and on

167
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh side of things, was obviously a terrible loss.

168
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: The fact, I mean the fact, just the way it

169
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: started for those of us that we're lucky enough to

170
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,199
Speaker 1: be at the game and everyone else who watched the

171
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: famous Seahawks Broncos Super Bowl where the first snap of

172
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: the game went over Peyton Manning's head for a safety

173
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: and that's set the tone for a blowout victory for

174
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. This was like that, but worse because somehow

175
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: it goes over Big Ben's head. Pounce, he fires it

176
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: over his head and then it gets recovered by the

177
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: Browns for a touchdown and just the avalanche of points.

178
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: But even after Pittsburgh got things stabilized, and bad job

179
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: by everybody on the offensive side. Ben Roethlisberger, despite throwing

180
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: for five yards, had four interceptions in this game, including

181
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: some truly wretched picks when the game was hanging in

182
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: the balance. But you have to put it on the

183
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: defense a little bit too west, I thought, because there

184
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: were times when, yes, they strung together a couple of

185
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 1: stop stops to get the game close, but when they

186
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: had a chance to really squeeze the Browns in the

187
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: second half and really put the pressure on and give

188
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers offensive chance to steal this game, they never

189
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: could do it. And this is supposed to be one

190
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: of the best defenses, if not the best defense in football. Well,

191
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, Collinsworth pointed to some miscommunications because of the

192
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: injuries they've had there, but still had t J. Watt,

193
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 1: still had Cameron Heyward, they still had Stefan to it,

194
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: they still had all these great players on their defense.

195
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: There's no excuse for for kind of laying over time

196
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: and time again when when the offense wants to get

197
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: back in the game and you can't get a stop,

198
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: right I I give so much credit though, to to

199
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: Fan Sky and what you know he's installed. I think

200
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 1: you only win by adjusting your game playing week to week.

201
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: It's very much a Patriots thing and like like everyone

202
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: does it. But they came out with a totally different

203
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,719
Speaker 1: game plan than they did a week ago. I mean,

204
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: Baker next Sense Stats had some good stuff about how

205
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: he was throwing the ball faster, uh than he did

206
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: the entire season tonight, And so that's partly why Van

207
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 1: Pelt stayed so aggressive while Mike Tomlin is punting on

208
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: a fourth and one. If that's anyone else, I mean

209
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: he he was the first coach to punt the ball

210
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: in that scenario, which is over the forty yard line

211
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: um and down by at least ten points on a

212
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: fourth and one in a decade, and the last person

213
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: to do it was playing a meaningless Week seven team

214
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: game before that, it was fifteen years. That was it

215
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: was crazy. Whereas Van Pelt took that punt and he's

216
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: calling passes while a lot of people on Twitter and

217
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: sky Spire was Neil's question to me also in that

218
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: in that break was like why aren't they just you know,

219
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: pounding running the ball because they know who they are.

220
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: They're the Cleveland Browns. They're an offensive team. And you

221
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: know what was working tonight is those short passes. And

222
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: they did that. They're adjusting week to week. They changed

223
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: their game plans, and they do it based on their opponent,

224
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: and they're smart and they went for and you mentioned

225
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 1: like people got to deal with with Chubb and Hunt West.

226
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,320
Speaker 1: I throw Jarvis Landry in that mix, man. I mean

227
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: every night, every game, when there's a big play to

228
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: be made, whether it was the touchdown early to set

229
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: the tone or the third and five where Baker absolutely

230
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: needed someone and and things are falling part, Jarvis Landry

231
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: makes the play. That guy's at dog. Week after week,

232
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: the Steelers are the first team since two thousand fifteen

233
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: to punt when Dan at least eight from inside their

234
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: opponent's forty yard line. There were eleven suns too. That

235
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: wasn't not even the one I was mentioning. There were

236
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: eleven such punts in the last twenty seasons prior to

237
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 1: Sunday Night, and none happened in the first half. So,

238
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: like you know what I I said that you get

239
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: on Big Ben for four picks and Market's pouncy for

240
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: five that ball over his head, and the running game

241
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: for being stuck in mud as usual. Uh, and the

242
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: defense we're not getting to stop on accounts. But hey,

243
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin too. It was just a wretched night for

244
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: the Steelers, dark knight for that organization that now has

245
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: to figure out where they are going forward. We have

246
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: plenty of time to talk about where the Steelers move

247
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: on from here. Where we What we do know, Mark Sessler,

248
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: is that the Browns move on to face the Kansas

249
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: City Chiefs at Arrowhead. And listen, I'm not I will

250
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: not play this card, but it's worth saying. This feels

251
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: like a house money game for the Cleveland Browns. Now,

252
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: this is a huge success this season. Uh You're now

253
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: twelve and five with a playoff win over the hated

254
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: Steelers and you're going into Kansas City. You get killed. Hey, listen,

255
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: you got beat by Patrick Willhomes. You win, you blow

256
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: the roof off the place. Uh. So it feels like

257
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 1: a good spot for the Browns to show up loose

258
00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: and ready to play. Well. I feel the same way.

259
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: I think that this the Brown Steelers thing. And in

260
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: West you mentioned it. It's a big brother, little brother.

261
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: It's trying to play your dad in the driveway and

262
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: you know the basketball hoop, that kind of thing. And

263
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: at some point in life, um, you you find a

264
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: way to to to squeak out of victory. Um. The

265
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs are a whole different matter. And I I watched

266
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: this entire game standing up. I think I sat for

267
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: maybe two seconds the entire game. That game, I'm not

268
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: trying to say it's I'm with you, Dan where it's

269
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: just like, I'll appreciate that they've got to that point,

270
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: and well that's a great test. But the last thing

271
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: I will say is that I hope each of us

272
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: um find happiness, rude for or being agnostic UM and

273
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: enjoying football and whatever way we do in each other's presence.

274
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: I didn't think this would happen un till I was

275
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: seventy two. I always thought it would happen when I

276
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: was like near the end and i'd be texting you

277
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,560
Speaker 1: guys from like an island in the Caribbean or something.

278
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: That it's happening while we're still doing the show means

279
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: something to me. It does mean something that we were

280
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: on sky during all this, because they've been our allies,

281
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: and so I feel thankful, um, And I'm not. I

282
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: know that I don't like uh raw Rod jump around

283
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: in a jersey and all this stuff, but I inside

284
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: I do feel it quite a bit. The men still

285
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: wearing a sports code right now. He is a perfect

286
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: I was going to change my clothes at all. I

287
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna change you know what, you might have sent

288
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: Big Ben into retirement. Either way, you sent him into

289
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 1: infamy those interceptions. How about and before before I turn

290
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: it over to west for the final word, I want

291
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: to give uh this quote which will be etched into

292
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: stone of this rivalry. Juju Smith Schuster. I think they're

293
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: still the same Brown's team my play every year. I

294
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: think they're nameless gray faces. They have a couple of

295
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: good players on their team, but at the end of

296
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: the day, I don't know the Browns is the Browns

297
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: not anymore? Juju Wes, thank you for coming on. Any

00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: else gets to move on to the NFL's version of

309
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: the Elite eight. Next stop, Super Dome, cann Gold from

310
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: the sixt Murray the tail back, Beyonce Harris motioning open

311
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: the left side, now back to the right breeze, fakes it,

312
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 1: looking for someone to throw two under pressure, He tumps

313
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: it underneath. They'll tell you it's Murray at the five

314
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: across the gold line touchdown. We'll tell me it's Murray.

315
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: Zach Strief and Deuce McAllister w w L. It wasn't

316
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: the cake walk we all expected, but the Saints took

317
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: care of business on Sunday at the super Dome, getting

318
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: two touchdown throws from Drew Brees and another rock solid

319
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: performance from their defense. Nine win over the Bears. New

320
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: Orleans advanced to the Divisional playoffs for the third time

321
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: in four years, where they'll meet Tom Brady and the

322
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: Bucks and the most hotly anticipated showdown between two forties

323
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: something quarterbacks in the history of our league. Greg They say,

324
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: it's what they had to do here, and greater challenge

325
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: is a weak right. This felt like the most knock

326
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 1: it out playoff game I can remember. I think this's

327
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 1: gonna happen sometimes now with the seventh seed, and don't

328
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: say that they need they gotta lose. I know it's

329
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: big money for the NFL to add playoff games every

330
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: once in a while. If that's what this is gonna be,

331
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: where we lose the second seed, the bye on week

332
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: seventeen and the drama and then we get dogs like

333
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: this every year. Well here's here's the flip side. Um,

334
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 1: the best game of the weekend, I would say was

335
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: Bill's Colts. So that was the other two seven and

336
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: that that helped uh in eleven win team get into

337
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs with Philip Rivers. Uh, you know, like so

338
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: so you never know how it's gonna go. Now that's said,

339
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: I think we have these playoff games anyways in a

340
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: normal year, it does feel like a come down. After

341
00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: this nice moment we all just shared, west Is on

342
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: the show. We're celebrating the first Brown's victory in the

343
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: playoffs since we got to talk about, you know, the

344
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,239
Speaker 1: Saints winning a game where they had five point one

345
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: yards per play against the Bears. It was it was

346
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 1: a little much. Uh. It proved what we've said all

347
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: year about the Saints that they can win different kinds

348
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: of ways. And I personally believe player for player, it's

349
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: the best team around Drew Brees that they've had. I mean,

350
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: they'll there'll be some others that are close, but it's

351
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: a really good defense, it's a it's a good offensive line,

352
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: it's a good running game. Now Michael Thomas is back,

353
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: Drew Brees may or may not hold them back. I

354
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: think that that's gonna play out over the next couple

355
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: of weeks. We'll see. I think they have to be

356
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: thrilled just that they moved past this and that they

357
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: get an opponent that they're very comfortable with UH in

358
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: Tampa in New Orleans next week. So I don't take

359
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 1: too much from this game. It's almost like it's almost

360
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: like when the teams were playing the Jets. I know

361
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: it's a playoff team, but it's like they did what

362
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 1: they needed to do when they moved on. I'm with you,

363
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: and they ran into a Bears team. That unnecessary to

364
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: bring up the Jets in any context there, but go on,

365
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: Telta little felt a little in this. I just meant

366
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 1: we kept saying that during the year, like what did

367
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: I learned team? This week? My point was, I don't

368
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: know what I learned about the Saints this week then,

369
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: so all, yeah, I think that's fair. It's like they

370
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 1: just had a sort of white knuckles through this thing,

371
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,719
Speaker 1: you know, and and and they did and you were

372
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: the Bears. To me, um, you know, bigger picture, I

373
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: I'm kind of glad this game happened because for the Bears,

374
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,239
Speaker 1: because you don't come out of the season with um

375
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: hopefully like delusions of grandeur about who your coaches, your

376
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: general manager, your quarterback, your offense, your scheme. Bears gave

377
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: them a tough fight early on, they really did, but

378
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: they're also sloppy. There were unnecessary penalties. Uh. To me,

379
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 1: it was a meltdown moment to have Anthony Miller um

380
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: get disqualified um for falling for c. J. Gardener Johnson's antics,

381
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: which every everyone knows that c J. Gardner Johnson, Um,

382
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: that's what he does. And I mean he's gotten three guys,

383
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,479
Speaker 1: he's gotten three guys, he's gotten two guys kicked out

384
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: of the games, and he's got Michael Thomas suspended. I

385
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: don't know if anyone's ever had a run like well,

386
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: and who was who was the player? Um that a

387
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: dropped the uh trick play bomb that would have completely

388
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 1: changed the complexion of the game. Javon Wims right, and

389
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: he's the same player that threw a punch at Gardner

390
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: Johnson earlier in the year, one of the most unnecessary Um.

391
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: Gardner Johnson was wearing a helmet. No less sure. I mean, like,

392
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: just so, it's like the Bears to me, Um, are

393
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,959
Speaker 1: they a team that you could say, wow, they If anything,

394
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: they they're a team built up composure. No, it's the opposite.

395
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: And on top of it, like the offense, you know,

396
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: played a real defense today and that Greg, You're right

397
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 1: that the defense surrounding Drew Brees right now is completely

398
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 1: different than in years past. And and so you know

399
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: they match up well with the Bucks and this game

400
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: fades into the distance, as does the the opponent. Yeah,

401
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: I thought the mirage of the Bears quote unquote surge

402
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: was exposed last week in Green Bay, um or in

403
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 1: Chicago was when the Packers put it on Mitch Robinsky

404
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: and you you saw, you know, how the Bears looked

405
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 1: when they weren't playing the worst defenses in football. So

406
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: this was just kind of an extension of that. And

407
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: from just the pure game standpoint a cause I agree

408
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: I think it helps them perhaps in the long term,

409
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: because you know, after these last two weeks, there are

410
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: no questions about Trabinsky. You know, maybe we should keep

411
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: him around. It's like, no, you should start fresh. You

412
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: didn't pick up his option, and now he didn't show

413
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: you enough to change your mind on that. Um, Matt, Naggy,

414
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: that's a decision that needs to be made. Um. You

415
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: could you could argue, I know Naggi is not a

416
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: very popular figure on this show, but you could argue,

417
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: um that you know, the fact that they were down

418
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: four points late in the third quarter in this game

419
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 1: showed uh something you know in Naggie and his ability

420
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: to keep this team competitive. But there's there's such a

421
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: razor thin margin of error in this type of matchup.

422
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 1: So when Javon Wims drops that pass and Tripisky didn't

423
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: do much of the whole day, but that was a

424
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: dime to a wide open receiver and it's one of

425
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: the worst drops you'll ever see. The die was cast

426
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 1: on the game at that point. It's like, Okay, the

427
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 1: Bears aren't here to do something special, and New Orleans

428
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: kind of played their partner. They're like, all right, we

429
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: know there's nothing really dramatic or fun going on here.

430
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: We're just gonna grind this thing out, and that's what

431
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,440
Speaker 1: they did. I we will have a chance to talk

432
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 1: about them in the preview show and on Tuesday, But

433
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: it's a concern. Their first six drives, they had seven

434
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: points in a turnover, and they weren't playing the Bears

435
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: from the first half of the season. They were playing

436
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: a Bears team missing there what I think was probably

437
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,160
Speaker 1: their best player this year, real Kuwan Smith. I think

438
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 1: he had a better year even than Kleo Mack. They

439
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: were missing Buster Screen and Jalen Johnson, two starters, and

440
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: so that's a concern. Mooney who was an important part

441
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: of their own right Mooney on offenses, So I think

442
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: that's a concern for the Saints offense. But like he's

443
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: working hard for yards. Breeze through thirty nine passes for

444
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: two sixty five um reminds me of a couple of

445
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: weeks ago where you threw about fifty to get to

446
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: three hundred. You know, eight they're working, they're working hard

447
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: for yard. It's a different type of team, but they

448
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: also their coaches are so good. Like when they came

449
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: out a halftime, they did totally adjust and then they

450
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: got the touchdown touchdown to win the game. You know,

451
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: going away, this should have been twenty eight to three,

452
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: Like if they didn't take you know, overturned breezes touchdown

453
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 1: right at the goal line, and then Mitch puts up

454
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: a garbage time one at the buzzer, it was three.

455
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: So the score for he even feels a little misslea.

456
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: There was also crazy. There was also a crazy punt

457
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: in this game. I mean the Bears are punting down

458
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: three scores with like seven minutes to go in the game.

459
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: It's like, I guess I'm asking with some of these scenarios.

460
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: It's like, if you're Matt Neggi and that's sort of

461
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:38,640
Speaker 1: been your like you he's been critiqued for that kind

462
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: of stuff before. What are you doing? What are you

463
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: suggesting to your own team when you're punting the same thing.

464
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: But it's the same thing we say about Sean McVeigh.

465
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: We don't give him heat for it. It's like, I'm

466
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: not I'm not talking specifically game management decision. I'm talking

467
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: about Sean McVeigh doesn't trust Jared Goff and he coaches

468
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: that way. That's exactly I think the way Naggie feels

469
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: about Trabinsky and it affects his decision making in terms

470
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 1: of being aggressive because he simply doesn't trust his quarterback

471
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 1: to to help him out. I just don't like these

472
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: teams that have to just trust their defense. It's like

473
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 1: it's all in our defense. Because the Bears defense honestly

474
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: played a really good game and they still they still

475
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: in the end, it wasn't nearly enough. I think this

476
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: is not how many teams, I mean, again, not to

477
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: give Naggie too much credit, but how many teams down

478
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: three scores with three minutes to play have a fourth,

479
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,240
Speaker 1: uh fourth and goal stop. You know, they kept the

480
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: Saints that they played hard that whole game. They just

481
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: get help and I think Pagan and they play hard

482
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: for Pegana, who was all pumped up in this game.

483
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 1: I think that's the other takeaway, Greg, what you hit

484
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: on that much was made of Drew Brees, Michael Thomas,

485
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara finally all on the field together. But ultimately,

486
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: you know, it's become clear now at this stage of

487
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: the game with Breeze, who's almost certainly in his final

488
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 1: games of his career, that the this attack is just not.

489
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't pack the punch at once did, So you're

490
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 1: just not gonna get the thirty to forty point explosions

491
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: of yesterdayear most weeks. And it's gonna be a defense.

492
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: Even the Saints are going to be a team there,

493
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 1: I think relies more in their defense than the offense. Yeah,

494
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 1: Thomas looked good though, so I think that matters. They

495
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: just and they haven't played many games together, to be

496
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: fair to them, so you know, as they work through this,

497
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 1: you know, in their mind, hopefully they get better each week.

498
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: When when the Bears just decided to run the ball

499
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 1: before halftime instead of trying to score in a seven

500
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: to three lead, to just kill the clock, that that

501
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: to me was like the ultimate game over and I

502
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: don't trust my quarterback. We should mention um. Then the

503
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: Nickelodeon broadcast. I think that's the only thing that saved

504
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 1: this game, at least in terms of June. I don't

505
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: know what that is, but I like it. I don't

506
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: know either. I didn't I was I watched it alone

507
00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: because my wife and kids left the house, so I

508
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: had no reason to put on the children's program. But

509
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: Twitter was all I only did a little but Walker

510
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 1: loved it. My son, he they were watching in the room.

511
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: I was back in the bedroom, but you know, I

512
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 1: went and checked it out and and they were they

513
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: were the time the SpongeBob and they were like learning

514
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: things like it was good. We watched about an hour

515
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: of the game that way. And UM there were clear advantage,

516
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 1: like clear wonderful things for you like young viewers learning

517
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: UM football. And they threw a lot of little animation

518
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,440
Speaker 1: in and they in their first down UM stripe was

519
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: very defined in a way that kids would would love. UM.

520
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: There was also in the game though you know you've

521
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,399
Speaker 1: got a player punching someone. Um, there was a there

522
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: was a very audible f bomb dropped on Nickelodeon, which

523
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: I don't think they were planning for. So you know,

524
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: I give Nate Burlison and friends a lot of credit

525
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,679
Speaker 1: for um, you know, getting them out of some tough corners.

526
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 1: To burl Liston is just clearly good at this too.

527
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 1: I mean, you put them in any format he seems

528
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,199
Speaker 1: to succeed and explain the game for it. Don't put

529
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 1: Lewis Riddick in the booth for Nickelodeon. By the way,

530
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: that was SpongeBob. It just came out so loud. I

531
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: couldn't really like, I know what SpongeBob sounds like, but

532
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: I didn't. Con Lewis Riddick dropping the brown word out

533
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: of nowhere in the middle of a telecast today was

534
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,400
Speaker 1: one of my favorite. You know, it was an interesting

535
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 1: day from a broadcasting perspective. You had Riddick um saying

536
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 1: this is electric. You had the Nickelodeon broadcast and everything

537
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: that was going on with that port He had port

538
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: Tony Romo, Uh, you know, in a closet somewhere and

539
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: parts unknown looking pale and struggling not to talk over

540
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: Jim Nance who's from at the Superdome? Uh? In the

541
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: latest COVID nineteen madness. Uh. It was just, you know,

542
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: these little details of a very long weekend of football.

543
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: We felt their pain. That the talking over each other

544
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,760
Speaker 1: when you have a delay and you're in different places

545
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: on TV. It's like if if it happens to Dunny Ramo,

546
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: I don't feel as bad. That's true, all right. Let

547
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: us keep moving to the first game of Sunday. On

548
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 1: third and nine, Jackson of the Row steps up pocket

549
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 1: to lapsing. He escaped piece of the forty yard line

550
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 1: thirty five thirty, Lamar Jackson to the twenty leg race

551
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: ten five and he's pushed out abound at the one

552
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 1: yard line. No signal is touchdown Lamar Jackson on third

553
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: and nine he takes into the house and the Ravens

554
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: an extra point away from tying it up. Jerry Sandusky

555
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: with the call w B A L. The Hey was

556
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 1: not in the barn at that point, but that was

557
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: the turning point. Lamar Jackson shot through a muddy pocket,

558
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: entered open space, then used that four three speed to

559
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: outrun half of the Titans defense on a forty eight

560
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: yards score. It was the big turning point a win

561
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: over the Titans at Nissan Stadium. It's the first playoff

562
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 1: win of Jackson's career, so he gets that monkey off

563
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: his back and it sets up the Ravens for a

564
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: Division round class with the Bills next week in an

565
00:29:55,080 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: Orchard Park. UM. I believe Jackson deserved a lot of

566
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: praise for his play in this game. UM, But when

567
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,959
Speaker 1: I was watching this game, what I couldn't get over

568
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: was what Don Wink Martindale and the Ravens defense did. Um.

569
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: They've been playing better all season. I mean the back

570
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: half of the season, they were there, they were cresting

571
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: along with the offense. It was the whole team was

572
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: improving vastly as things played out down the stretch. But

573
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: you wondered, what would happen, uh when you played a

574
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: big time offense, and what was a bigger offense this

575
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: season than the Titans to completely shut down the Titans

576
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: offense as they did, holding Derrick Henry to forty yards

577
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: on eighteen carries, Uh, to harass Ryan Tannehill to the

578
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: point where he just was not himself and was never

579
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: able to get clicking with A. J. Brown, And of

580
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 1: course the Marcus Peter with that Peters with a huge

581
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: interception that essentially sealed the game. That was such a

582
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: unforeseen development to me. Is I thought this game had

583
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: shootout written all over it. But the Ravens, again, that

584
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: organization has run so well that they always find a way,

585
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,240
Speaker 1: even when you think that they won't, they always do.

586
00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 1: And their injuries on defense throughout this year kind of

587
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 1: we're overlooked compared to the offense. But they had problems

588
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: there too, and they had COVID issues too, and you're

589
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 1: right there. They they always find a way to improve.

590
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: That was the lowest yardage in any Titans game since

591
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: the game that Marcus Mariota was benched for Ryan Tannell,

592
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: which to me is like that's the inflection point of

593
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: this organization. So for for Baltimore to dominate it like

594
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: that defensively, they're they're really hard to prepare for. But

595
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: it's also partly you know, you give Lamar Jackson in

596
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 1: the offense credit because they're part of it. Is they

597
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 1: only had nine drives. It's like there wasn't much time

598
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens. It wasn't their peak offensive performance, but they

599
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: once they got it going after the first quarter, ultimately

600
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: they went on these five minute drives, whether finished in

601
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: a touchdown or a field goal. It's shortened the game.

602
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: And I love the end of the game. I always

603
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: love this more than anything. The Browns are great at this,

604
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 1: but it says so much when the other teams like

605
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: knows you're gonna run at the end, and you and

606
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: you do run and and that's how you finished the game.

607
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: When they know it's coming. Man, I just it feels

608
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: like as a fan, there must be nothing more satisfying

609
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: because when the when the Ravens got the ball back

610
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: after that interception which by Tannehill, which everyone's gonna remember.

611
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: It is kind of like, oh, that ended the game.

612
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 1: There was like two thirty left in in some time outs,

613
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: like there was no rule that the Ravens couldn't go

614
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: three and out right there, but they basically just ran

615
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: it down their throats and the game was over and

616
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 1: that was that was a Ravens type of statement when well,

617
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,880
Speaker 1: and I would I would point to how, you know

618
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: the first quarter went, how this game opened that you know,

619
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: a J. Brown and Tannehill run fire, And I didn't

620
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 1: know if if if Baltimore had an answer for a J.

621
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: Brown early on, and you know he's a little streaky,

622
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: he'll be he'll be super electric. And then um, you know,

623
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: Tip get like an ankle injury and vanished for a quarter.

624
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 1: It seems like I feel like that's eight games in

625
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: a row that seems to happen to him. But he

626
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, Baltimore fell into the same corner they did

627
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 1: a year ago. And I think the playoffs are just

628
00:33:12,680 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: a little bit different where it's not Week eight um

629
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: buried on some you know B team network of feed

630
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: where where everyone's watching and it's like the same questions

631
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: are being asked about Lamar Jackson. And I thought that

632
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: the Titans did a really good job early on a

633
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: bottling up Lamar Jackson, forcing him to run um horizontally.

634
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: And but when his runs started to become vertical and

635
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: we saw that incredible touchdown run and um, but that

636
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: wasn't the only one. There were a bunch of um.

637
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: He just he gashed them over and over that you

638
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: could feel the tight that the Ravens working their way

639
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: out of that tend nothing hole, working their way out

640
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: of what happened last year and simply seizing power. And

641
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 1: I think they've they were they came an inch away

642
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: from being broken, and then I think they broke the Titans.

643
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: And everything that you'd want out of a Titan's win

644
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: in which would be get up early, have Derrick Henry

645
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: start to take over. Because even in the last year's

646
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: game against the Ravens, it was Derrick Henry late in

647
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: the game in the fourth quarter where he went nuts. Um,

648
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: he never it never happened to day he had like

649
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: forty yards around two point one yards per carry or

650
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: something like that. And um, they did their job, And

651
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 1: so I'm so with you Dan that like in this

652
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 1: coaching carousel that seems to, you know, discard people from

653
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 1: a year ago. Greg Roman had a great second half coaching,

654
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,760
Speaker 1: Wink Barton Dale had an incredible four quarters in general

655
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: outside of the first couple of drives. So these Ravens

656
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,919
Speaker 1: assistants are as great of a candidate as you could find.

657
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: You know, Arthur Smith is every day he's like loading

658
00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:42,840
Speaker 1: up on interviews. Everybody wants to talk to Arthur Smith.

659
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, Martindale out coached him in this game. And

660
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: it I think the reason why because it was tend

661
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: nothing at the end of the first quarter and Lamar

662
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: had thrown a truly hideous interception, the ugliest interception we've

663
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 1: seen in the playoffs so far, I would say, Uh,

664
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 1: And it all seemed like it was playing out all

665
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 1: over again, the nightmare for the Ravens. But the differences

666
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: is like the whole team came to play. So when

667
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: Lamar slumped early with a throw and wasn't making plays

668
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: with his legs, the defense kept things under control. And

669
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: then when Lamar found his footing and again it was

670
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: third and long at midfield. Uh, They're down ten three

671
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half and that forty

672
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 1: eight yard touchdown run changed everything. And after the game,

673
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: here's what John Harbaugh had to say about that room.

674
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:28,160
Speaker 1: It's one of the best runds I've ever seen, But

675
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 1: it's the best run I've ever seen by a quarterback.

676
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's even greater than the Cincinnati

677
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: run you had a year or two ago. I mean,

678
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: that's just a phenomenal play. What effect it had, I

679
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: think it it had a big effect, aren't It just

680
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: got us back in the game we needed, we needed

681
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 1: points at that point. We got us back in the game. Psychological,

682
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 1: I really don't know, but it made me feel a

683
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: lot better and tell you that. I don't know if

684
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 1: it was the best run ever by a quarterback, but

685
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: I get why he said that because it almost in

686
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 1: addition to tying the game and and putting Baltimore back

687
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: on its feet. Uh it, it seemed to almost exercise

688
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: some of those Lamar demons at that point. So he

689
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,879
Speaker 1: had this impact special play that just changed the game.

690
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:11,840
Speaker 1: And then just purely from like the uh, pure athleticism

691
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: of it. That's what makes him so much difference. So

692
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,399
Speaker 1: anybody quarterback Tyler Heineke, for instance, not to take anything

693
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,880
Speaker 1: away from him. We'll get to him a little bit.

694
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: He could escape from a muddy pocket and get into

695
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 1: the second level of defense. But Lamar's ability to then

696
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: hit the turbo button and just run away from five

697
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: different defenders who all have an angle on him is

698
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: something that we've never seen. And I guess that's why

699
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 1: Patrick claybonds in love, right. I mean, Kenny Karo, the

700
00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: Titan safety, like Jackson hadn't even passed him yet, and

701
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: he just started jogging after him. It was one of

702
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: the funniest replays. Like he didn't even he it was.

703
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 1: I mean, they should make fun of him for that,

704
00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 1: but he was just like, okay, I'm I'm along for

705
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: the show. You almost take it for granted. I mean,

706
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 1: he ran for one thirty six, you know they they

707
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: ran for two thirty six. He was one thirty six

708
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,680
Speaker 1: of that, and he started getting the outside in the

709
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: second half. But but it throws to the outside were

710
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: really big today. You know, that's he busted some narratives,

711
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: not that these should really exist exactly. We know, you

712
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: know he has strengths and weaknesses, but you know, they

713
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: hadn't come back from down ten with him Okay, you

714
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: did that. You know, you don't throw it to the

715
00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: outside today. That was where they really did throw it

716
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: well to the outside. Oh Hollywood, Brown's kind of you know,

717
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: it doesn't show up in the big moments. Well, he

718
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: went seven for one o nine on a lot of

719
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: throws to the outside. So it was like a lot

720
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: of a lot of good narrative bustings for Lamar to

721
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: just move past. And I love seeing guys, I mean,

722
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,640
Speaker 1: I love Lamar too, just because no one's no one's ever,

723
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: There's never been anyone quite like when John Harbaugh says

724
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,080
Speaker 1: that it might be like the you know, it's got

725
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: to be one of the most important runs quarterbacks ever had,

726
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: because it's not like it's not like there's any other

727
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: quarterbacks running for fifty yards in a playoff you know,

728
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: in a key moment in a playoff game. Just that

729
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: hasn't happened before. We haven't seen that. And it's a

730
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 1: bitter way for the Titans to go out because all

731
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: season their offense was special and and you worried, oh man,

732
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: this defense is gonna get him killed in a big spot,

733
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: and for them to lose in the game is we're

734
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: singing the praises of Lamar, but still twenty points. The

735
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,080
Speaker 1: Ravens scored in this game. Like the Tennessee defense as

736
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,080
Speaker 1: bad as it's been all the year. That's that was

737
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: a good performance from them, and they and they got

738
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: they sacked him like they got. Everyone said they can't

739
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 1: watch the past, and so, I mean, I think the

740
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 1: thing that just it flipped like sixteen seventeen minutes into

741
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, it was all Titans early. That's

742
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 1: frustrating for the Titans because you would think if you

743
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,360
Speaker 1: would have told the Titans fans, oh, your your defense

744
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: is actually gonna hold Lamar Jackson to twenty points, You're

745
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: you're planning in the division around playoffs. So the fact

746
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: that it didn't work out that way, that was a

747
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 1: big surprise. Yeah, I mean they didn't in some key spot.

748
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 1: You know, they get to touch on late in the

749
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: second quarter and then they come out after after him.

750
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: You're right, Roman, I think brought out you know that

751
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,879
Speaker 1: they did a good job on the telecast talking about

752
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: some concepts. You know, they saved it for the second half.

753
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: I do wonder if the fanski did that too, Like

754
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: more teams are doing that where they're scripting the start

755
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 1: of the second half, before the game's even start, like

756
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: let's let's save using you know, Patrick Ricard as our

757
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: our main option suddenly for the second half. But you got,

758
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: I mean very able, drove me crazy here the punt

759
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 1: that that vary able hadn't get me started on fourth

760
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,640
Speaker 1: and two. It's not just that like, of course the

761
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: number you know, and the analytics say, of course you

762
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 1: go for a fourth and two year year. I think

763
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: right right, right about forty down that you're an offensive team,

764
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: like your right, you've been an offensive team all year,

765
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: and they showed very little faith in Derrick Henry all day.

766
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: That was not the only time that they couldn't convert

767
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,040
Speaker 1: short yardage. There was about three other drives that ended

768
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,399
Speaker 1: on them getting stuffed on not getting stuff, like getting

769
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: stuffed one a second and three and then throwing the ball.

770
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: They didn't give the ball to Henry in those situations.

771
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: It was wild. Not not a great performance by Artie

772
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: Smith there, or really anyone on the Titans connected to

773
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,400
Speaker 1: the type his office offense. Tough loss um all right,

774
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: good stuff. That was Sunday. Now we move two. Been

775
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: along couple of days, marks like get me to that

776
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:22,319
Speaker 1: beer Saturday Night, Give me some Gene. Decker Off, Dropping deep,

777
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: Brady throws the ball on the white side. He's gonna

778
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,280
Speaker 1: be hoping at Tonio Brown. Preach one touch stop, Tampa

779
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 1: Bay Bucketeers. Brady five, Tonio Brown again, Ricky, I gotta

780
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 1: hear what what is? What was going? Dropping deep? Brady

781
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: throws the ball on the white side. He's gonna be

782
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: a Tonio Brown preach one touch stop, Tampa Bay Bucket.

783
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: It's Antonio Brown. Remember that from the television broadcast, was

784
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: going absolutely nuts and there's no crowd noise to drown

785
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,120
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown out. It kind of sounds like Cessler in

786
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: that old back shed that he had in his previous resident.

787
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: It doesn't. That has gonna sounded like an animal being tortured.

788
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:07,239
Speaker 1: Jean Becker off w f US with a call. Tom

789
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 1: Brady played his forty second playoff game on Saturday night,

790
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: and as first without Bill Belichick on the sideline. The

791
00:41:13,680 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: performance visage. Brady yards two touchdowns in a win over

792
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 1: the Washington's football team. Mark Tyler Heineke made this game

793
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 1: more interesting than it had any right to be, but

794
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: the Bucks move on to face the Saints next week

795
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:34,400
Speaker 1: at the Superhowl. They took care of business. Um. This

796
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: game was one where you know, we went you know,

797
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 1: we were on Skyle weekend and I went on and

798
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: called Tyler Heineke. Um just sort of a the kind

799
00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: of a quarterback patch that would be attached to like

800
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: a Thursday night, meaningless Thursday night game, UM with very

801
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:52,919
Speaker 1: few eyeballs in it. And then he proceeds to electrify

802
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,439
Speaker 1: Um Tampa's defense. And I don't know, to the point

803
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 1: where you've got people wondering if he might be Um

804
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: the quarter back of the future for them or at

805
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 1: least like well, I would just say, at least pulls

806
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: them like a cult McCoy type move where he will

807
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: be in the league for ten years because there's something

808
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: about us. You're the guy. I I thought about that

809
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 1: when I don't remember who called this game, but someone said, well,

810
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: if nothing else, Tyler Heineke just got a job for

811
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 1: the next decade. It's like that's Marks corner. He's the

812
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: guy that declares which backup work for the next I

813
00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 1: think it's fair though, because I don't think it takes

814
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 1: too much to get into that circle. And you know,

815
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 1: he's sort of a coach's dream and and and they

816
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: gave the Bucks a fight. But I think kind of

817
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: lost in the Heineke um verve was that Tom Brady

818
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:40,480
Speaker 1: was lights out and you know, and this at this point,

819
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 1: this is tired at this point. But um, how different

820
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,200
Speaker 1: of a world we live in with athletes because they

821
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: show that, um side by side comparison of Tom Brady

822
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 1: with George Blanda and and Tom Brady has been um

823
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: getting microderm abration and uh, you know, is well hydrated,

824
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: and George Blanda smoked cigarettes and drank like know, low

825
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,480
Speaker 1: grade forty ounces. So that shows you what happens to

826
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 1: our body depending on how we treat it. And Tom

827
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: Brady is thriving and looking to me as good as

828
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: he has. I mean, the Bucks are a little streaky,

829
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,920
Speaker 1: but they're real dangerous. And I'm not I know everyone

830
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: like the Saints have knocked him out twice some I

831
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: have no idea what will happen next. Yet the game

832
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:26,160
Speaker 1: went so counter to two expectations. I mean, because the

833
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: Bucks offense did whatever they wanted to. They could have

834
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 1: had more than thirty one in this game. And Washington

835
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,600
Speaker 1: offense you kind of put it to Todd Bowl. So

836
00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: I think got too cute, too aggressive to Boomer bust defense.

837
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: They had some bad luck like the Washington offense, or

838
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:44,560
Speaker 1: they could have scored even more too. There was that

839
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,800
Speaker 1: tipped interception that you know, they had some opportunities. I

840
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:50,959
Speaker 1: think they moved the ball well, like they weren't ready

841
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: for Heinuki. It was really an offensive game, but man,

842
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: breeze some of those early throws, like there was a

843
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,919
Speaker 1: third in tent of Miller to keep a drive alive.

844
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: It's just like a bullet and a diet. I know,

845
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: Like there's other old quarterbacks playing well, but none of

846
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,000
Speaker 1: them look like Brady. I mean, Brades doesn't look like Brady.

847
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,279
Speaker 1: Ben doesn't look like Brady Rivers playing well, he didn't

848
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: look like Brady. I mean, if you protect him, and

849
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 1: he's got a really good offensive line. Who really for

850
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:18,759
Speaker 1: the most part shut down Washington. He's spinning it, you know,

851
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: as well as anyone really. He sends the latest guy

852
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: that to talk talk talk, Uh. And you know, I

853
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: guess some of these these pass rushers coming into the

854
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: combine for their interviews of Colleen and and others. Uh.

855
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: It's become almost part of the game. Who do you

856
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: want to sack the most, and then that person inevitably

857
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: says Tom Brady because he's the most famous quarterback, and

858
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 1: then that gets play played up when the two sides

859
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: eventually meet um, only in this case, Chase Young kind

860
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: of doubled down on it and had fun with it.

861
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: But then you gotta you gotta do something about it. Chase,

862
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: you can't do not much at all, and then lint

863
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: to the sideline with the sprained ankle. I think that

864
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: has been UM. I think Brady is so savvy and

865
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 1: how he handled everything UM. When he didn't he saw

866
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: that the Patriots weren't doing the right thing to build

867
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 1: up around him in a way that would allow him

868
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: to finish his career in New England, he said, I'm leaving,

869
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: and then he found the perfect offense. Not just that

870
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: everybody latched onto the skill players and there were plenty

871
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,959
Speaker 1: for him to play football with, but the offensive line,

872
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 1: which has allowed him to still be Tom Brady. I mean, unbelievable.

873
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 1: That's what the and I when I was trying to

874
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 1: figure out what the upset of the week was and

875
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,719
Speaker 1: it turned out to be the Browns, I thought, Washington, Okay,

876
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna get and they're gonna, you know, cook up

877
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: some heat on Brady and he's gonna get Piste off.

878
00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: But then that never happened. That never materialized, and once

879
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,480
Speaker 1: that happened, I was like, oh, this is gonna be

880
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: a blowout. So to Heineke's credit, and he kind of

881
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: looks like Ryan Phillippe and he's got some arm tats.

882
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 1: Also there's a little edge to Heinek. I'm kind of

883
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: into Heineke, not in a physical way, but just kind

884
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: of been like, oh, he's kind of interesting to me. Um.

885
00:45:55,800 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: He had the bad tweet like the next day after

886
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: think everyone found not he didn't have any but they

887
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 1: they found he has been in some hot water. Yeah, okay,

888
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: that that makes perfect sense because he looks like Ryan

889
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: Philippi with all the ink. But good for him for

890
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 1: for keeping that game interesting on a Saturday night. I

891
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 1: want to give if Taylor Herneke does nothing else, you

892
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: allowed that game to be interesting in prime time on Saturday. Yeah.

893
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: The one last thing I want to say on this

894
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: game was, you know what, it didn't look like the

895
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: Bucks offense anymore though they had they were playing like

896
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: two three tight ends the whole game. They were doing

897
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: play action the whole game. You know, it look like

898
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots offense. I don't know if they're going to

899
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:35,960
Speaker 1: continue that, but I think if you're a Bucks fan,

900
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: you gotta be encouraged that it was. It was a

901
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,600
Speaker 1: pretty hard left turn. They have not played with that

902
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: like heavy personnel, and that's what they thought they needed

903
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: to do to protect the gronk. Grunk barely went out

904
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: on a pass route. I mean, and um, that that

905
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: sort of flexibility to me screams Patriots. It does not.

906
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: It does not look like the normal chuck it up

907
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: Bruce areas. I like. I like the Brady Cameron Brad

908
00:46:56,960 --> 00:47:00,280
Speaker 1: connection last night and getting a few more people in bold.

909
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't love their ground game. That's the

910
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: one thing is that they get stuck in that situation.

911
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:07,439
Speaker 1: But look at we were talked about Antonio Ranald Jones

912
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 1: is healthy. But if you're if you're depending on Leonard Fournette,

913
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be I mean even with him, it's

914
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 1: just not it's just not their signature to me. But like, um,

915
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: but then you've got Antonio Brown getting better and better

916
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:23,399
Speaker 1: every week, and it's a dangerous team. Since Tampa Bay's

917
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 1: week thirteen by Brady is thrown fourteen touchdowns one interception

918
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,959
Speaker 1: over five straight wins. Compare that to the four games

919
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,799
Speaker 1: before the bucks by when Brady had eight touchdowns at

920
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: seven picks and the Tampa Bay lost three or four.

921
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: It got pretty dark there for a while, but now

922
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: it's feeling really good and this is gonna be a

923
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: great game again next week between New Orleans and Tampa Bay.

924
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: A lot of fun. All right? Oh, did we talk

925
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: about the extremely flattering for Tom George blanda side by

926
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 1: side graphic we've mentioned. I mentioned my my take on that,

927
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: but you could if you have anything to add. I

928
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 1: don't have anything to add. I was doing some behind

929
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: the scenes work with Ricky while you guys were having

930
00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 1: I'm sure breathlessly awesome conversation. The blended thing did come up,

931
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:10,879
Speaker 1: so I don't need to add anything to it. Good

932
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:16,399
Speaker 1: box checked. Let's move on longer away from Ramsey again.

933
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: The public picks pits. Darius Williams jumped in and he's

934
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: gonna house it. I'll pick six. I beat that's a

935
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 1: touchdown and the Rams extend their lead. Oh yeah, you

936
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 1: know that is JB. Long, friend of the show, Caspn

937
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 1: with the call, Darius Williams jumped the route in a

938
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,040
Speaker 1: way that you just don't see on a wide receiver screen.

939
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 1: Uh picked off the Russell Wilson past forty two yards

940
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: for a score. Cam Akers rush for a buck thirty

941
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: one in a touch and the Rams beat the Seahawks

942
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: thirty to twenty. It was Seattle's first home loss and

943
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: the Pete Carroll Era mark. The Rams are moving on

944
00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: because their defense is special, maybe the best in the league.

945
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 1: Maybe definitely, definitely, Maybe, I'd say definitely. And I'm not

946
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 1: typically someone that you know in mid January is gonna,

947
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:14,280
Speaker 1: I guess, increase my faith in a team with an offense.

948
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: I don't trust a whole lot um with quarterback issues

949
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: um and a strong defense. But the Rams, the Rams,

950
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:24,239
Speaker 1: I do. I I really think that they. I think

951
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: they'd be a hot candidate to upset whoever they deal

952
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 1: with down the stretch because of what because of Brandon Staley,

953
00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,799
Speaker 1: the way they're organized, because Aaron Donald, if he's going

954
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,359
Speaker 1: to be healthy, he's got issues health wise going into

955
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 1: the next game, and what they did to Seattle. I mean,

956
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 1: I think that you know, the Seahawks could not stop

957
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: l A's ground game, but on offense they could not

958
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: convert third downs. Um, they made the biggest mistake in

959
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:50,719
Speaker 1: the game. What we just heard the pick six? And

960
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,240
Speaker 1: I was sitting there watching this thing and this game also,

961
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: by the way, I I don't know if it was

962
00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: you guys, or it was just the time of the day.

963
00:49:57,280 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 1: Was this game seven and a half hours long? I

964
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 1: don't know how long it wasn't really it was literally

965
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 1: a long game. I think it was the longest game

966
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 1: of the weekend. Remember we we Yeah, it went almost

967
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: all the way until the next kickoff, It really did.

968
00:50:10,120 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: And and look at I get that Jared Goff. First

969
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 1: of all, I mean I have been really hard on

970
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 1: Jared Goff. I think a lot of people it's it's

971
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 1: chic to be down on Jared Goff right now, um,

972
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 1: for for good reason. But he had he does have

973
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: like pins that were justin sort of do his finger

974
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 1: less than a couple of weeks ago. So I don't

975
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: think that he was in a good position to be

976
00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: doing what he was asked to do. But I cannot

977
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: remember a playoff game between two quarterbacks that led their

978
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: teams to Super Bowls. Um, And in this game, like

979
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,880
Speaker 1: the most putrid offensive output that I can recall between

980
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks of that nature. It was. It was a

981
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: hard watch. It was a long game. It was a

982
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: hard watch. And Greg, I thought you had one of

983
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:58,560
Speaker 1: the tweets of the weekend when you talked about you know,

984
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: everyone like you're say, everyone says they loved defensive football

985
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,759
Speaker 1: until they have to correct me if I'm misquoting you,

986
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 1: but until they have to actually sit and watch it.

987
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: It's like, these are two defensive teams where they want

988
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: to be and it's like this game was, um, wait,

989
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: but aren't you the same I not to throw up,

990
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:17,720
Speaker 1: but like, aren't you the same guys that I slapped

991
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 1: my forehead at seven seven Arizona? Whatever game you like,

992
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: that's one of the best games. I look like Tennessee

993
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: Ravens today had some great defense. Um, but you've got

994
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 1: to have real offense sprinkled in and it's got to

995
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: go back and forth. This was great defense against two

996
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 1: inept offenses. That's that's asking a little bit more. And

997
00:51:39,400 --> 00:51:43,240
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, like, listen, he's going against the Rams defense

998
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: and they're no joke. But he doesn't have any pins

999
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:50,800
Speaker 1: in his thumb and he played poorly forty two passing yards,

1000
00:51:50,880 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: a completion percentage of second lowest mark of his career.

1001
00:51:56,280 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 1: And this was all part of a larger story about

1002
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 1: the Seahawks season, which, by the way, it was a

1003
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:05,800
Speaker 1: strange season. They go twelve and four, they win their division.

1004
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: They had stretches where the offense was awesome, stretch along

1005
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,880
Speaker 1: stretch for the defense was great, but they never were

1006
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: at the same time and they so because of that,

1007
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: they were never special as a team. And now they're

1008
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 1: one and done in the playoffs. Um, that's frustrating as well,

1009
00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 1: because there it should be there. You would think that

1010
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson is gonna find a way to make those plays.

1011
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: But even when Aaron Donald goes out of the game

1012
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,759
Speaker 1: with the rib injury, and thankfully for the Rams, it

1013
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:35,080
Speaker 1: doesn't look like a serious injury. Same thing with Cooper

1014
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,239
Speaker 1: cups uh injury late in that game. He seems to

1015
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: be um possibly able to play next week as well.

1016
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: Even when Aaron Donald exits a game, Russell Wilson does

1017
00:52:45,560 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 1: not have a chance. And that's where I'll put more

1018
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,040
Speaker 1: more on Seattle's offense as a whole, and maybe Brian

1019
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: Schottenheimer has something to answer to because Russell Wilson was

1020
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 1: pressured on exactly fifty of his dropbacks. That is not

1021
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:00,800
Speaker 1: sustainable and that needs to be fixed. And and some

1022
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: of that's on Russell Wilson. It's been the case throughout

1023
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: his career, and then in this case, some of it

1024
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: was not. I heard some whispers people who watch this

1025
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: game closely, who thinks that the Rams height is a

1026
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,840
Speaker 1: is a problem for him. There like a huge defensive

1027
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:19,399
Speaker 1: line with Brockers and every everyone, and and you get

1028
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: some pressure up the middle with you know, Brockers like

1029
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,640
Speaker 1: six six or something, but you know most of them

1030
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: are pretty tall, and like he's not seen. He was

1031
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 1: not seeing the field for whatever reason, especially against the Rams.

1032
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: But really since week nine, they were just a bad offense.

1033
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 1: And I would say the Rams were a bad offense.

1034
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: But it's the reason I picked the Rams, other than

1035
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, I'm gonna root for who my daughter is

1036
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 1: rooting for. And the same reason why Mark was locking

1037
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 1: up the Rams before he jumped off of it to

1038
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 1: a successful Ravens lock. It's like, okay, if they're both

1039
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 1: bad offenses, at least it was the Rams lock, then

1040
00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: a Seahawks lock, then yeah, that's right, I forgot it.

1041
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: We haven't yet like sat down and decided whether that sanction.

1042
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 1: That's We're gonna get to that a little bit later.

1043
00:54:02,640 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 1: No one has any You didn't change it, you've changed

1044
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 1: it beforehand. But like, at least the the Rams have

1045
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: the special group in this game, which is two of

1046
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: maybe the four best defensive players in the entire league

1047
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 1: and a really great coach. So that's like, that's gonna

1048
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: be a lot for Aaron Rodgers to deal with next week. Now.

1049
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 1: I find it very interesting Sean McVeigh will not give

1050
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: any indication early in the week who might start at quarterback.

1051
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: So we're gonna go through this song and dance again. Um,

1052
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: John Wolford, you know, we haven't even mentioned you know,

1053
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,800
Speaker 1: left on the first drive with what turned out to

1054
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:44,319
Speaker 1: be a stinger. We didn't know what it was at

1055
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 1: the time. And like a lot of people who were,

1056
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 1: you know, thinking the Rams would win rooting for the Rams,

1057
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,040
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, this is this is a bad development

1058
00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,919
Speaker 1: for the Rams. Like I think Sean McVeigh chose John

1059
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: Wolford because he thought they gave them a better chance

1060
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: to win. Nick sit up a little bit against the

1061
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,360
Speaker 1: defense that knows you really well, and you just played,

1062
00:55:03,400 --> 00:55:06,399
Speaker 1: so that's that's part of it too. And and Golf

1063
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: came in. He he did just enough. They didn't really

1064
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: average any more yards for play than the Seahawks, but

1065
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,719
Speaker 1: he avoided the big mistake. And it's just it's just

1066
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: such a strange situation that like, Okay, golf goes and

1067
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: wins the game, and still mcveigh's not saying he's he's

1068
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 1: the starter next week. It's fascinating and uh. But they

1069
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: also seemed like with that defense, I think they could

1070
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 1: almost beat anyone. I thought they would have loved to

1071
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 1: play the Saints. I think they could have shut them down.

1072
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: It'll be a little tougher against the backers. Wolford was

1073
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: mega piste at Jamal Adams um after that play. Adams

1074
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,400
Speaker 1: wasn't listening to Initially they threw the flag and then

1075
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,800
Speaker 1: they picked it up and I believe I think it

1076
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 1: was Collinsworth. No, I don't know who was doing the call.

1077
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:48,920
Speaker 1: It's too scrambled in my mind. But said that was

1078
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 1: a bad no callum Aikman. Aikman said it should have

1079
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: the flag should have been thrown um. So Wolford that

1080
00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 1: that was a tough break for him because that was

1081
00:55:58,280 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 1: such a huge stage. Maybe, yeah, maybe he ends up

1082
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: getting more of a look because the other thing Aikman said,

1083
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,320
Speaker 1: and you know, you these guys that are plugged in

1084
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: that call the games, you learn a lot during the

1085
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:14,240
Speaker 1: telecast that you know, people that were close and watching

1086
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:16,839
Speaker 1: the Rams practice. And the reason why Jared Goff wasn't

1087
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 1: even starting, wasn't supposed to take a snap in this

1088
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:21,879
Speaker 1: game was because every every fourth ball he threw came

1089
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: out of his hand weird and fluttered, So you know,

1090
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean, I'll give credit Shan Shan a

1091
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 1: very credit to on a day where it's it's hard

1092
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: to trust golf and his struggles and also his injury.

1093
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:35,040
Speaker 1: Now when they ice the game on a third and short,

1094
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: they let Goff throw the ball and that resulted in

1095
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:41,120
Speaker 1: the game clinching touchdown. So just a really nice win

1096
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: for the Rams, and you hope they're at full strength

1097
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: um physically for that game with Donald and Cup. Yeah,

1098
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 1: it feels like their seasons kind of a success. Now

1099
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 1: they've they've checked the box of like a lot of things.

1100
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 1: In the McVeigh run, he made the playoffs this first year,

1101
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 1: you make the Super Bowl, now, Okay, you get a

1102
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: playoff win, you obviously want you have higher aspirations, but

1103
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,440
Speaker 1: it feels like they've kind of over it. I I

1104
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 1: do think what Aikman was saying, though he also was

1105
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: just saying how frustrated they were with golf before the injury.

1106
00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: He what he he made a point to say that,

1107
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:11,560
Speaker 1: and you can kind of pick up that he's been

1108
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 1: saying that they were getting really frustrated and they were

1109
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: talking about golf's confidence so that they you know, they

1110
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: just didn't feel like golf was was confident right now.

1111
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 1: And it's crazy, but man, the the defense is playing confident.

1112
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: I the last thing, sorry, He's just like when when

1113
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 1: the Seahawks got the ball back at the end, it

1114
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:29,880
Speaker 1: was kind of like when when the Ravens run the

1115
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: ball down your throat like it was garbage time sort of,

1116
00:57:32,840 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: and the Seahawks really had no chance to win, but

1117
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 1: they still get sacked and they didn't they didn't get

1118
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:38,800
Speaker 1: a single first down and they got sacked two times,

1119
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 1: and that's how you end the game like that. That

1120
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: just was like a show of force. But one thing

1121
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 1: about the Rams, like last thing is like Brandon Staley

1122
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: um his star is rising, and he's sort of anyone

1123
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 1: that's gotten close to him sees like this football lifer

1124
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: who is um, you know, may not be there a

1125
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: couple of weeks from now. He's he's interviewing with the Jets,

1126
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: Um that Chargers are interested. They're interviewing him, and and

1127
00:58:02,240 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: that's if you're a coach. And we don't ever really

1128
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,520
Speaker 1: like see this side of it. But if he ever

1129
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 1: could become the coach of the Chargers, he doesn't have

1130
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: to move. Um. I don't know what his parental situation is,

1131
00:58:11,680 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: but his kids don't have to do move. It's like

1132
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: you've got a franchise quarterback potentially. But Brandon still he

1133
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 1: may be a head coach um a fortnite from now,

1134
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: which is a tremendous development for a guy that no

1135
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: one knew about a year ago. Aikman also said on

1136
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,720
Speaker 1: the telecast that what he has heard is that he

1137
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: might be a year or two away. Still might be

1138
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,240
Speaker 1: seen as a little green on that he's only thirty

1139
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: years old. But at the same time, what there's what

1140
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: they are doing, what they did yesterday, what they could

1141
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: do next week against Aaron Rodgers, that's better than any job.

1142
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: Interview on a zoom call Brandon Saleley could take part in,

1143
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:48,440
Speaker 1: so keep an eye on it. My final thought, ce

1144
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: Il Seahawks, thank you for the number twenty three overall

1145
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 1: pick in the draft, and good luck in your negotiations

1146
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: with Jamal Adams. I'm sure he'll be fair. Might be

1147
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: might be doing Brian's Schttenheimer update on Tuesday. That's what

1148
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:05,080
Speaker 1: my Spidey sends to Temmy. No, no harm to the man,

1149
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: but it just feels like that could be coming. Good luck,

1150
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 1: John Schnyder. Let's move on. Four seconds left to get

1151
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: one play to make it. The Bills have lost a

1152
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: game on this, Murphy, this is a hail Mary situation.

1153
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: Behind the snap, rivers back to throw, waiting, waiting, going

1154
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 1: for all of it down the right sideline to pass

1155
00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: up in the air. It is knocked down and complete.

1156
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 1: Knocked down and complete. My god, I'd knocks it down

1157
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:34,120
Speaker 1: and the clock showed zero. The Bills advance, The Bills

1158
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 1: win it. The Bills win it in the last second.

1159
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: The Bills win it. Unbelievable finish. There you go. Great

1160
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 1: called by John Murphy and Eric wood W g R.

1161
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,480
Speaker 1: Two guys who obviously waited a long time for that

1162
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 1: and like a hide batted down Philip Rivers desperation heave

1163
00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: as time ran out the final play in a win

1164
00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 1: for the Bills over the Colts. It was Buffalo's first

1165
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 1: playoff win in twenty five years. Josh Allen was at

1166
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 1: it again, passed with three four yards, two passing touchdowns,

1167
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 1: one rushing score, and the Bills it wasn't easy, but

1168
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 1: they found a way and it sets up a great,

1169
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,919
Speaker 1: great matchup next week against the Ravens and Orchard Park.

1170
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,440
Speaker 1: Greg the culture up for the challenge in this one.

1171
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: They really really made the Bills earned. They missed so

1172
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 1: many chances and even then it was it comes down

1173
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: to the end. I thought this was the best game

1174
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:37,919
Speaker 1: of the weekend. I thought, you know, they both played well.

1175
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 1: I thought the craziest take I heard of the entire

1176
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 1: weekend was like it was an anti Josh Allen take

1177
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,040
Speaker 1: here that they almost blew the lead at the end,

1178
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:49,959
Speaker 1: and that he had the fumble in the fourth quarter

1179
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 1: and they could have blown Greg and at all. Honestly,

1180
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: you're the guy who's always like it doesn't matter who

1181
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: recovers the fumble of fumbles of fumble, and that was

1182
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 1: a huge fumble Bowl that they were very lucky that

1183
01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: the offensive line fell on no doubt, But I think

1184
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:09,800
Speaker 1: to watch that game and not come away with what

1185
01:01:09,960 --> 01:01:12,439
Speaker 1: I believe was the reality that Allan was the best

1186
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:15,400
Speaker 1: player on the field by far and had one of

1187
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 1: his better games on a day where he didn't get

1188
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 1: as much help, where the defense wasn't that good, where

1189
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 1: the run game wasn't there, where he was having to

1190
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 1: create on his own. That that's all I mean is

1191
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:29,280
Speaker 1: that I think it was a great Josh Allen game

1192
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 1: and that if he had had like a B game,

1193
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 1: because I think the rest of the team, did you

1194
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:37,400
Speaker 1: know that they might have gone home. Yeah. There were

1195
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 1: a lot of times in this game where Alan, you know,

1196
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 1: he takes a snap, drops back and it's not there,

1197
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: like and he you had you he had to go

1198
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,000
Speaker 1: through his progressions. He had a bye time. He made

1199
01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 1: those type of plays all games. So while the numbers,

1200
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 1: by the way, we're still great, three and three touchdowns,

1201
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 1: it was ran and a touchdown too. Yeah. Yeah, it

1202
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 1: wasn't on par with the you know, fan see gold

1203
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: Mine of December for him, but still, you know, another

1204
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: big performance by a superstar. Yeah, I mean, whether or not,

1205
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: like the overall performance matched some of the others. He's

1206
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 1: still he's becoming one of those quarterbacks that does four

1207
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 1: or five things a game that, um, you know, leave

1208
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,680
Speaker 1: you dazzled. And my one takeaway you know from the

1209
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 1: cult side was um and it was sort of a

1210
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:27,920
Speaker 1: note to self, Um that I spent the week essentially

1211
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,080
Speaker 1: sort of dismissing the Cults um as a balanced but

1212
01:02:31,200 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: unremarkable team. And and yes, that maybe what they are,

1213
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,880
Speaker 1: but um, they came so close to knocking off Buffalo,

1214
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 1: which would have been a huge story here that I

1215
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 1: think I just sort of underrated Frank Reich. And they

1216
01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 1: may not have all the pieces they need on offense,

1217
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 1: but you know, they for them Like they had that

1218
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 1: one drive that went all the way down to the

1219
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: Bill's two yard line and then they're stuffed. They had

1220
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 1: a drive with a killer miss field goal, and it

1221
01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:00,320
Speaker 1: really was just um. They had a stuff to point

1222
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 1: conversion as well. It was just like little tiny things

1223
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: that the Cults couldn't do well enough. And there were

1224
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,320
Speaker 1: a couple of killer off sides this weekend that might

1225
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: have been the worst. It was dropped interception. You know

1226
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: that that sequence at the end of the first half

1227
01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 1: was Bruto because they really it was very similar to

1228
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 1: the Steelers game and that they really outplayed, uh, their

1229
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:25,600
Speaker 1: opponent in the first half. But yeah, that sequence at

1230
01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 1: the goal line where they go for it, I don't

1231
01:03:28,200 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 1: mind them going for it. It's like if you can't

1232
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: score on four straight plays from the three and there

1233
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:36,240
Speaker 1: was another short yard of situation, they were bad in

1234
01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 1: short yard of all year. Your boy's gotta make that throw.

1235
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you want to talk about difference beween Philip

1236
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 1: Rivers and his legacy as a playoff performer. Uh, that

1237
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: throw where he just overshot Michael Pittman is exactly a

1238
01:03:47,560 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 1: type of throw that that was so close. That was

1239
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:51,960
Speaker 1: an inch. That was an inch like if Pittman and

1240
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 1: stays you know, some people would say if Pittman stays

1241
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 1: on his feet and just runs under it, you know

1242
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: what I mean? It was just like that. I'm just

1243
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: saying that that was an inchest through he had a

1244
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: Rivers had a solid but not like amazing game. I

1245
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: mean the numbers actually look look crazy, but man, like

1246
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 1: they here's the stat they cross midfield every possession, every

1247
01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 1: they so to only end up with how many points

1248
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: did they get? Twenty four in the end, they crossed

1249
01:04:17,240 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: midfield every single possession of the game. I'd be a

1250
01:04:20,120 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 1: little worried that if I was the Bills fan, that

1251
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: they gave up four d seventy two yards. That's true,

1252
01:04:24,720 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: but I would point out that like in the first half,

1253
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 1: like the Bills started at their three yard line, therefore

1254
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 1: their six, they're eleven in their fifteen, and I think

1255
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 1: that caused some of their early issues, where the Colts

1256
01:04:37,920 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 1: in the first half started on average at their own

1257
01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 1: thirty six and then it, you know, changed a little bit,

1258
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 1: but they were there was a field position issue going

1259
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: on early and the Bills were too powerful to put off.

1260
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 1: I mean, like the missfield goal drive for the Colts

1261
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 1: was a fourteen play drive. Again, I think there's something

1262
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 1: a little bit different in these playoff games where if

1263
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 1: you go fourteen plays the way that they did and

1264
01:04:57,960 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: you come away with no points and that happened on

1265
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:04,120
Speaker 1: two separate dribes, that is a mental killer. Yeah, and

1266
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 1: we we touched on it, so I don't want to

1267
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 1: belabor it. But when they cannot convert on that fourth

1268
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 1: down pass to Pittman, you still have the Bills backed

1269
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,680
Speaker 1: up to give up. Then a nineties six yard drive

1270
01:05:16,240 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 1: that includes stopping the Bills on fourth down uh and

1271
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 1: holding him to a potentially long field goal only to

1272
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 1: get drawn off sides UH and then give up the score.

1273
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 1: And there were two plays too long completions that Gabriel

1274
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: Davis where he was inbounds by blades of field turf.

1275
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it just felt like it just wasn't meant

1276
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 1: to be for the Colts, and that I would say, like,

1277
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: there's no worse feeling than seeing your season end on

1278
01:05:44,800 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 1: a day when you felt like you were the better team.

1279
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:50,960
Speaker 1: Watching that I thought the Colts were on that day,

1280
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: I would say they were better and they just in

1281
01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: those in those moments, they just could not make the play,

1282
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 1: whether it was the Rivers throw or the a ball

1283
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 1: on the ground not falling on it, or being disciplined

1284
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 1: to stay back on that Offside's called like the inability

1285
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: to just make one or two plays was the difference. Uh.

1286
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:13,919
Speaker 1: And really a tough loss. Yeah, it unfortunately, It's would

1287
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 1: kind of be a fitting way for it to end forever.

1288
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 1: You know, he got the ball at the end with

1289
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 1: the chance. Felt like every Charger's game. It was a

1290
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 1: game where like it looked like I'm I am with you.

1291
01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 1: I think they kind of looked like the better team

1292
01:06:26,760 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 1: that they very similar to the loss they had against

1293
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 1: the Steelers, where I thought they kind of like and

1294
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 1: just throw a bunch of losses. And with the Chargers

1295
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,160
Speaker 1: and Philip Rivers right like just through just like a

1296
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 1: number of things. You can't put your finger on all

1297
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:39,960
Speaker 1: of them. But it was just like a little crazy.

1298
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 1: I put Frank you know, Frank Reich's time out usage

1299
01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:46,960
Speaker 1: was insane. I mean, these coaches, they they spend all

1300
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 1: year looking for edges and little things and then they

1301
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 1: they used timeouts for like avoiding a delay a game

1302
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the third quarter and on terrible

1303
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: challenges and and it kills you at the end. I

1304
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: mean they needed those time. McDermott was throwing him around

1305
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 1: like like lollipops too, and it drives him crazy. Yeah,

1306
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's I love Rivers, I love watching

1307
01:07:09,680 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: him play, but this is just another game for him,

1308
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 1: and in this time of year, we're just left kind

1309
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 1: of scratching your head. They had they had first and

1310
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: ten at the Buffalo forty five yard line with twenty

1311
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:23,000
Speaker 1: eight seconds to play, needing a field goal. And they

1312
01:07:23,080 --> 01:07:25,080
Speaker 1: never moved the yard at that point and ended with

1313
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 1: Rivers heaving one dawn. He can't he can't reach the

1314
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: end zone from fifty yards. He couldn't do it. I

1315
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 1: wonder where they go. I think Frank Wright already right,

1316
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 1: already came out and said that he wants Rivers back,

1317
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 1: but it would make sense to me for him to

1318
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 1: be in a role where it's Rivers And like, I

1319
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:44,480
Speaker 1: don't like a Darnald type or maybe a rookie that

1320
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 1: you really like, um, but would Rivers a want to

1321
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: be in that type of Ryan Fitzpatrick said, up and

1322
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 1: be Will Philip Rivers take the pay cut that would

1323
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 1: go along with that type of one A B type role?

1324
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:58,680
Speaker 1: It will be interesting to see what he does here.

1325
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 1: Man pork buck, poor pork cols. Uh we we should

1326
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 1: give a little love to the Bills fans here. They

1327
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 1: just ended a streak that was as long as uh

1328
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: quarter century longer than the Browns, right, or just a

1329
01:08:14,200 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 1: little less long. I guess what was? It was about

1330
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 1: a year, So think about that. The Browns ended it.

1331
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 1: Since ninety four, no playoffs win the Bills since with

1332
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: your stars stepping up like Stefan Diggs. He was awesome too.

1333
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,120
Speaker 1: We should give him some love and the Bucks since

1334
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: oh two, those were three of the sixth longest in

1335
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: h including two of the three longest streaks in the

1336
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:40,679
Speaker 1: entire NFL. It's nice to see a little new blood

1337
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:43,600
Speaker 1: in the win. New England doesn't make the playoffs for

1338
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 1: the first time, and you know this entire My favorite

1339
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,679
Speaker 1: image of the weekend, in fact, was the Bills fans

1340
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 1: sobbing openly. It's like a forty four year old father

1341
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: of six. I love that, and that means that that

1342
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 1: meant a lot to Bills fans to be able to

1343
01:08:59,880 --> 01:09:04,360
Speaker 1: be in that stadium uh and witness uh quite frankly,

1344
01:09:04,400 --> 01:09:06,680
Speaker 1: a juggernaut team like that you haven't seen since the

1345
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:10,479
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly glory days. So good for the Bills. You

1346
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:13,640
Speaker 1: know they they'll have a tough matchup next week, but

1347
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:15,840
Speaker 1: I just like their chances. It just seem like a

1348
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 1: special team. Um, all right, I have to write a

1349
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 1: throwaway Well I shouldn't label it as that they don't

1350
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:23,120
Speaker 1: want They don't want me to say that, but I

1351
01:09:23,200 --> 01:09:26,759
Speaker 1: have to write an article about which fan base deserves

1352
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:29,600
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl title the most, and where would I

1353
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 1: go with this would I I mean, I know, but

1354
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 1: what do well you wrap it up by noon and

1355
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: you move on with your day and then it you know,

1356
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:40,640
Speaker 1: it gets released on the internet. But I mean, your

1357
01:09:40,760 --> 01:09:44,400
Speaker 1: passion for internet writing is as all time high. It

1358
01:09:44,560 --> 01:09:47,760
Speaker 1: is occasionally high, um it is not always. But I

1359
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 1: I just I don't know how to pick between. Buffalo

1360
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 1: feels like it's it's it's right there in Cleveland too.

1361
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 1: But I'll I wonder who's gonna who's gonna in this?

1362
01:09:57,479 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 1: Now it seems absurd that I would be writing this.

1363
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 1: If you think about it, like now you'll go counter

1364
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,800
Speaker 1: just now you should just go Browns. Anyways, why should

1365
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 1: I should do it one through five and make well

1366
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:09,840
Speaker 1: they haven't been they haven't even been at the super Bowl,

1367
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 1: so you know, at least the bill's got to I

1368
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:16,000
