00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 1: The Around the League Podcast comes alive. Welcome back to

2
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: another edition of the Round the League Podcast. My name

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: is Dan Hansis, and I am joined by two heroes,

4
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: Mark Sessler and Greg Rose And thought, what up? Boys,

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,080
Speaker 1: We're just worried about We're hoping Chris is traveling safely.

6
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: Where's he even going? Do we know? He's going back

7
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: to Tybee Island, to his island. He's going to that bar,

8
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: that huck a Poo's bar. That seems a bit evil almost.

9
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: It seems like a home for West. Yeah. Maybe, yeah,

10
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: evil is a horrible word to use, actually, but it

11
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 1: seems like a place. Maybe if you're at a bar

12
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: so much, it could become evil. But at the same time,

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: he's a single man. He he has a lot of

14
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: close friends there, so we won't hear much from West.

15
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna try to he's gonna be off

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: the next four podcasts, at least in studio. What We're

17
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: gonna try to get him on um at some point,

18
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: hopefully in a coherent state. Uh. Today is Friday, November two,

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: our teen, Uh, Mark and Greg. I think you know

20
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: by now, um the fiftieth anniversary the John F. Kennedy assassination. Ridge,

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: did you know that I did. It's all over the news.

22
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: It's been there for a while. She's already bored with

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: wheerever you're going with. This is why I didn't bring

24
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: you up with Greg before, because I knew he would

25
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,839
Speaker 1: shoot it down. Um, listen by the Denned Hey, oh,

26
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: come on, that's just disrespect. That was not appropriate. Alright.

27
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: So the reason I bring it up is because you know,

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: Mark and I started working together in two thousand ten,

29
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: and Mark, you would say a lot of strange things.

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: So at a certain point I had this blue notebook

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: and I started to take notes in it about when

32
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,760
Speaker 1: Mark would say strange things about some type of book

33
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: project for the future. Actually called it untitled Sessler Project.

34
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking at it right now. And one of the chapters.

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: I won't go into many of the chapters because I

36
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: don't know if we can. You're married, two kids. One

37
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: chapter was Mark goes Oliver Stone, and that was about

38
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: you were going to write a book about the JFK

39
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: assassination at some point in your life. Correct, Well, I was, yes,

40
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: I was eighteen, I was in college, and I thought

41
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: that would be something I could spend like six years

42
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: on and still not have to get a real job

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: by the end of that probably. But then I, as

44
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: I started to do a little research, I realized there

45
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: were roughly five or six thousand books on the topic

46
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: already out there, and I moved on, I'd like to

47
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: see what you could add to the disgus. I came

48
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: up with the three or four pages of typewritten notes.

49
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: But then, yeah, I had a typewriter in my room, Jeeves,

50
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: all right, Carol wac So this was a long time ago,

51
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: all right, Well that so why why were we I'm

52
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: just curious, why were you so fascinated that you wanted

53
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: to write that book? I don't know. I found the

54
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: public record on the matter to be a bit off.

55
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: Am I alone here? I mean conspiracy theories? Maybe perhaps

56
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: I just wanted to investigate it more, and I came

57
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: up with answers on my own, which I think. I

58
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: hope you do read that. Read that book. We're gonna

59
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: get to the games in one second. I just want

60
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: to name a couple more of these chapters that I

61
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: had for this book, UM, sleep deprivation experiment, UM vegan

62
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 1: and then it quotes that was my own path uh

63
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: and dark winter nights in Connecticut log cabin. So those

64
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: are just three um, Mark, you're a fascinating human being.

65
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna write that book one day. Alright. So Week

66
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: twelve started on Thursday night, Greg, you could check back

67
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 1: in emotionally now. Week twelve started Thursday night with a

68
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:43,279
Speaker 1: fairly wretched game, uh seventeen thirteen Saints win over the Falcons.

69
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: I guess I'm I'm curious, and I'll ask you, two guys,

70
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: what are we taking anything out of this game in

71
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: terms of the two thousand thirteen season going forward? Or

72
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: is it just a game that existed in time enough

73
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: slips into the ether forever. Greg? That second thing he said,

74
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: I like that it was weird how bad a game

75
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: it was, despite it being close, it just wasn't a

76
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: thrilling game. And it had to be the low moment

77
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: of the Falcon season with the entire crowd chanting, who

78
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: dat with about two minutes left in a one score game.

79
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: Your rivals are chanting, you know in your house. It's

80
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: just pathetic. It's funny because we came off what we

81
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: agreed was Monday Nights probably the best game of the

82
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 1: your Panthers, Patriots, and you know the world evened out,

83
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 1: we got a stinger less in my opinion, You're exactly

84
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: was close and at all the making score wise have listened.

85
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: The Falcons fought hard in this, but something was missing.

86
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: Well this this actually plays into Sessler's theory that dome

87
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: football isn't great. U there was just no energy in

88
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: the building, which I think definitely played a role. I

89
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: brought that up to you downstairs a few second, scho Market,

90
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: and you told me that quote, why would anybody pay

91
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: money to go into that house to watch football? So

92
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: now it's it's like a structure where people do and

93
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 1: they're they seem to be, you know, enthralled with the scenario.

94
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: But I find it's something there's a disconnect in televised

95
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: games from domes for the audio, which I'm sure it's

96
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: a loud in there, just don't think. I mean the

97
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: two things, Greg, you kind of alluded to it earlier

98
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: this week. It is kind of a bummer that this

99
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 1: is one of the best rivalries and football kind of

100
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: got taken away from us really two years in a

101
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: row almost now, because the Saints had their problems and

102
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: now the Falcons have their problems. Uh. The other thing

103
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: that jumped out to me is Matt Ryan. And I

104
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: don't know, I'm not sure not what to make him

105
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan anymore because they where they go thirteen and

106
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: three last year, and what are they gonna go this year? Three?

107
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: Something like that? And how you know, how often does

108
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: that happen when you have your star quarterback in the lineup,

109
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: if he stays in the line of the whole season,

110
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: what does this tell us about Matt Ryan. Yes, Julio

111
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: Jones is a huge loss, but for the team to

112
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: completely go in the tank and creator the way they have,

113
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: that's a little weird, and that speaks to maybe that

114
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: Ryan isn't maybe one of those top ten guys that

115
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people thought he was going in to

116
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,119
Speaker 1: the season. I disagree. I mean, who who is gonna

117
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: How many quarterbacks are there that would just survive all

118
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: of this? I mean Tom Brady, Peyton, Manning, Aaron Rodgers.

119
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: He's not those guys. Well, I guess that's the point though,

120
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: He's not where some would argue that he was becoming

121
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: one of those guys, But I would still put him

122
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: in the top ten for sure, back end of the

123
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: top ten. He's got to be right, I think wins

124
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 1: and losses is so overrated for quarterbacks. It's like we

125
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: think quarterback. I don't think so. No, I mean by

126
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: that logic tarvirus Jackson is above above average quarterback. He's

127
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 1: a winning quarterback. It's like some people think Cam Newton

128
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: is a different, totally different quarterback, but he has a

129
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: great defense. I don't think he's totally different. Well, and

130
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: Atlanta specifically has crumbled all over the place because they're

131
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: giving up. You know, I think eleven more people. Jackson

132
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: just got cited in this for the first time ever

133
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: on this podcast. I believe he got drunk. It's like

134
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Orton. I guess he was a great winning quarterback

135
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: when he started out too, you know, because he was

136
00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 1: winning ballgames, he must be great. Well. Dance point though,

137
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: is that, listen, Matt Ryan alone isn't enough to mask

138
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: over all the stuff going over on that team, where

139
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: with other quarterbacks we've seen that they still would go

140
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: ten and six, nine and seven, eleven and five. We

141
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: spent enough time in this game on this game, too

142
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: much on so let's move on. Greg a little salty

143
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: on the podcast today early on. What's the issue? What

144
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: do you mean just a little bit, you know, a contankers.

145
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: That's just how I was born, all right, so let's

146
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: get us JFK thinks really got me down. But it's

147
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: also the one year anniversary the butt Fumble Big Day.

148
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: Is that true? It is? And there were people questioning

149
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: what the larger storyline was there, not only for NFL network,

150
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: put our nation. That's where we're at the United States

151
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: at this point. Yeah. It is like one of those

152
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: things like you always know where you were on I

153
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: was in my buddies house for Thanksgiving dinner and and

154
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: I just finished working as ift and there was some

155
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: cooking going on the kitchen. I just kind of came

156
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: over and I was standing watching the TV and I

157
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: saw it happen, and I called my buddy over and

158
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: I said, you have to see this. And I think

159
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: the whole nation was stunned. Everybody remembers where they were

160
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: when there was actually on a jet flying somewhere. I

161
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 1: was watching it on the seat in front of me.

162
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: I was in my bedroom covering the game. Back in

163
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 1: the glory days when I could be working from my

164
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: bedroom and didn't have to, you know, hang out with

165
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: other human beings. That was terrific. That was also the

166
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: day that Fireman Ed lost his innocence because that was

167
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: his last Jets game. That that's one big I think

168
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: that's what we should be celebrating him today, the end

169
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: of Fireman Ed. You notice how there's never been any call.

170
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: I think Fireman Edding figure that he was going going

171
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: to go into his bunker, its fortified jet bunker, and

172
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: then there would be this call to get him back

173
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: to the metal. Ends that never happened, did not come. Um. Alright,

174
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: So moving on to the week twelve games, the rest

175
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 1: of the Week twelve schedule. Uh, and we will start,

176
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: as we always do, with the games that jump out

177
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: to us and Greg, why don't you get us going here?

178
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: The game of the week, and you know, let's not

179
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: say anything else, is because Sunday Night football, the Denver

180
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: Broncos go to Foxborough to face the New England Patriots,

181
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: a game that potentially could be an AFC title game. Preview.

182
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: We don't know, Greg, as a Patriots man, how do

183
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: you feel coming into this game? I don't feel great.

184
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 1: I thought they would win last week in Carolina and

185
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: lose this game. Uh. The fact that they played well

186
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: in Carolina doesn't really change, you know, I kind of

187
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: expected that doesn't change. I have a hard time seeing

188
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: how their defense is gonna slow Manning down. It's not

189
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: a really original thought, but Peyton Manning gets rid of

190
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: the ball faster by far than any quarterback in the league.

191
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: That's part of the reason why they didn't touch him

192
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: last week, you know. And I think it's two point

193
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: one seconds or something like that he averages before you.

194
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: Patriots have no pass rush even when there's a lot

195
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: of time and the quarterbacks holding the ball, and I

196
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: just I can't see them getting press or to Manning.

197
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: They're probably just gonna drop people back and try to

198
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,479
Speaker 1: slow things down. But it's hard to see the Patriots

199
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: keeping them under thirty thirty five points. I agree because

200
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: it's like what you know, Listen, the Broncos went up

201
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs with they have a strength, it's their

202
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: ability to get to the quarterback. They couldn't do a

203
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: thing last week. And I wonder if new England strategy

204
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: has to be because their offense against Carolina finally looked

205
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: like it arrived. Maybe it's just keep Manning off the field.

206
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: That's what they did last year, and it's not like

207
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: it was a Gangbusters performance. It was almost flawless. I

208
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: had they had three ninety yards and seven drives. It's

209
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: one of those you had to sort of watch it,

210
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: not just look at the score because I thought they

211
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: didn't get stopped. It was a long possessions. You know,

212
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: they didn't have big plays or anything, but they played well.

213
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: I think they could score a lot against Denver. Why not.

214
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what they did in the game. You know,

215
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: Denver lost to the Colts but had not lost since

216
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: they played the Patriots last season in the regular season,

217
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: and Brady just kept them off the field. I mean,

218
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: it ran eighty nine place. They aren't that team, but

219
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: that's that's one way to keep Denver from doing what

220
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 1: they've done all season long. I have a sessler that

221
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski is going to have a monster game cess.

222
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm thinking nine, one, thirty seven and two, like something

223
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: where he single handedly with Brady, keeps them in the game.

224
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: I think this will be a close game. I know

225
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: Alan Chris have had some bad luck this year with

226
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: some stinkers, but uh, you know, you really hope this

227
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 1: one pays off, especially after it was kind of a

228
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: relative letdown last Sunday with the Chiefs and Broncos. The

229
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 1: only way they win is by scoring a ton, and

230
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: I think they have the potential. But this Broncos defense,

231
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 1: I don't think von Miller has got enough credit since

232
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: he's come back in terms of changing their defense. I

233
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: watched that Chiefs gaming. I mean, he's such a good

234
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,080
Speaker 1: run staffer and then on some plays they have him

235
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: covering Jamal Charles. I mean, how many guys are like that.

236
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: It's one of the best pass thresher in the league,

237
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: stops the run and then can even drop back and

238
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: coverage every now and then he changes them. Terrence Knight

239
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: in his playing really well. I think the Patriots will score,

240
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: but I think the Broncos defense right now is better

241
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: than the Patriots defense. Are you worried, gregor would you

242
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: be worried at all? Of Patriots don't hang around in

243
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: this game and they have another loss? Are you worried

244
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: at all about the division? Or because you're probably you're

245
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: probably not going to get the buy? But I guess, well, actually,

246
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: currently you are in place for the bye as a

247
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: second seed. Right this is a huge game. I mean

248
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: they would have I I would be shocked if they

249
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: won this game and didn't get a bye. I mean,

250
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: this would basically almost feel like you're gonna get the

251
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: two seed. I think they have a good chance to

252
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: get the two seed no matter what, and you'd have

253
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,800
Speaker 1: a shot at the one seed if they win. I

254
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: think they could win this game. They're one of the

255
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: top I believe six or seven teams in the NFL

256
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: right now. I don't think the Broncos are unbeatable. However,

257
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: lose the game goes seven and four, and you have issues,

258
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 1: and I don't think in the division, but you have

259
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: an issue because you've got to find a way to

260
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: get a game up on the Bengals by the end

261
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,719
Speaker 1: of the year. Because they beat the they beat the Patriots,

262
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: and then, weirdly enough, the call it's of all teams

263
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 1: are still only have three losses, right, but that's assuming

264
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: those two teams are going to close well. The Patriots

265
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: traditionally closed the season out very strong. They've only lost

266
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: two games I believe in November and December in the

267
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: last five years. That includes last week or last four years,

268
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: so they usually closed strong and they're playing their best.

269
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: They're probably now that we're doubting them or this is

270
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: where the spot where they usually surprise you. Although that's

271
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 1: what we said last week, I should have picked I

272
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: should have picked the Patriots this week, because whatever Greg

273
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: and I are on board on the same picks, then

274
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: things usually go, hey, whirred. You took the Pats in

275
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: this game, Mike, Right, of course I take them every week,

276
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 1: even though I just downplayed them. H There's not a

277
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: spot where I'm not going to take them, pretty much,

278
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 1: just because I'm a Homer. I took the Patriots in

279
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: this game as well. And that was the two of you,

280
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 1: and then the rest of the eight c L crew

281
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: went with the Broncos. All right, So let's move on.

282
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,040
Speaker 1: We were talking about the Jets. Uh. They have a huge,

283
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: huge matchup in Baltimore on Sunday against the Ravens. UH.

284
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: Obviously this has big wild card implications. The Jets through

285
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,599
Speaker 1: the game at five and five and holding on to

286
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: that number six seed. The Ravens are four and six

287
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 1: and coming off that tough loss in Chicago. Uh, the

288
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: Jets could really put the Ravens in a terrible spot

289
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 1: if they could come into Baltimore and get a win.

290
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,720
Speaker 1: I don't know if I see it happening. Only because

291
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: the Jets don't have great history against the Ravens in general.

292
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 1: And it's you know, it goes back to what I

293
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 1: was saying on Sunday with Gino Smith. I don't know

294
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: if I could trust trust him anymore. The Geno coasters

295
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: has derailed. And to see see him going to Baltimore

296
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: and put up a big performance, I don't know if

297
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 1: I see it happening. You know, ray Rice come comes

298
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: out last week. I think he had after months of

299
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: being completely in the darkness, a very nice football game.

300
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: Now he goes up against a team that's giving up

301
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: about seventy yards per week on the ground. He's not

302
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: going anywhere it's looked that good in that game. It

303
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: was just big gaping holes against Chicago. Even when he

304
00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: got in the open field, you were kind of like,

305
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, he said, a bro can mean anyone can

306
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: run against the Bears. So yeah, and yeah, this is

307
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: gonna be if the Ravens are gonna score points, they're

308
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: gonna do with their defense off Gino Smith errors, or

309
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: Flacco is gonna step up and start making some plays

310
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: when they need them. I mean that this will be

311
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: the time for Flacco to bring this team up because

312
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: if they fall to four and seven and they don't

313
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: have a tie breaker against the Jets. I know a

314
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: lot of people are picking them uh to be the

315
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: team that gets that succeed. I believe I did as well.

316
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: But if they can't take care of business at home,

317
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: you have to lose a lot of faith in their

318
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: ability to come back down the stretch. They have to

319
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: win this game. Not only is Dan handis a huge

320
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: Patriots fan lately picking them every week, trying to get

321
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: on a winning side of things. But he didn't even

322
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 1: pick the Jets this week because I don't pick with

323
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: my heart. Well it's not working out for you, man,

324
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: you know it's not. You might have maybe change things up.

325
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 1: Why your heart again? This goes back. This goes back

326
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: to the conversation. We're in last place last year, your

327
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: second to last this year. Maybe get to the heart

328
00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: the head the head struggle. Can pick the Patriots every

329
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: week and get twelve out of sixteen, right if the

330
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: brown picks them. If Mark picks the Browns every week,

331
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: he goes So you can't play that card. No, I

332
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: don't think this is a coin flip game. I think

333
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: the Ravens are probably a better team and they're at

334
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: home the Jets. Mark Sessler, why did you do this?

335
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: I did? He? In my My hope is this because

336
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: Baltimore's defense really isn't playing that much differently than they

337
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 1: were a year ago, at least statistically. If Geno Smith

338
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: can keep his head on his shoulders, he is a

339
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: counter for twenty of twenty one of their turnovers this year. Yeah,

340
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: he's been great. But if they can do what they

341
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: did against the Saints, play some good defense and run

342
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: the football, which I think they'll do, and I don't

343
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: think Baltimore. I think we're over rating Baltimore. I think

344
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: we should have forked them a week ago New York's game.

345
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: And plus they don't, they don't win or lose two

346
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: in a row. They don't do it. They're gonna win.

347
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 1: That's fair. Jets offensive line really struggled last week. I'm

348
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: ready to fork the Jets if they don't win this game.

349
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: I know it won't get through the committee, but I've

350
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: seen it could bring it to board if they don't.

351
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: If they don't win this game, I'd be ready to

352
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: four and one one. One last note. While I was

353
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: working on the end around column, which went up earlier

354
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: today I did. I was doing some research and it

355
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 1: turns out that that roller coaster on the Jersey shore

356
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 1: that ended up in the Atlantic Ocean after Superstorm Sandy

357
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: just totally randomly the name of it the Jets Star

358
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 1: Gino Coaster, The Jets Star. You can't make this stuff up.

359
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: It's such a star cross team Dan, I, I don't know.

360
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: Eight and eight feels good for the Jets. Yeah, alright,

361
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: moving on, this is a very intriguing matchup. I love

362
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: the NFC East. I love all these games. They remind

363
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: me of my grandfather sitting on a couch drinking root beer.

364
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: The Dallas Cowboys, Uh, the five and five cow I

365
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: was a boy, apple juice Okay, I don't know what

366
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: did boys drink? Root boxes? Uh? Juice boxes. I don't

367
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: think it's fruit. I think is probably my memory of

368
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: my grandparents house was my grandfather watching the giants drinking

369
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: root beer on this brown chair, and then my uncle,

370
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: who was very close with would play Nintendo in the

371
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 1: room around the corner, and then I would watch him

372
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: play Nintendo and then be sent to the refrigerator to

373
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: get him Golden Anniversary beer, which was like the lower

374
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: shelf beer and I would be just shuttled them. See

375
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: that's the memories I have being at my friend's house

376
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 1: and that like when we were going to the mini

377
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 1: fridge to get sodas, were always bringing back like a

378
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: Budweiser for for the dad in the house. And then

379
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: you realize, like he's drinking three of those for every

380
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: one of our sodas. And then years later you're looking back, man,

381
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: they put back like fifty alcoholic right, exactly, deep and

382
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: grim drinking problem. What we're talking about football football, giant march,

383
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: Let's go back to that. Yeah, rest in peace, Poppy.

384
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, So this is the Dallas Cowboys five and five.

385
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: Jason Carrett has now a lifetime passed his head coach,

386
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: Jason Uh. Jerry Jones said it himself yesterday. I don't

387
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: believe it, but they faced the Giants at four and

388
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 1: six on a four on a rather unimpressive four game

389
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: winning streak, but it is a four game winning streak.

390
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: Cowboys go on the road of the Meadow Ends and

391
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: win this game. You could say bye bye to the Giants.

392
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 1: The four Committee will get together and talk about that.

393
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,760
Speaker 1: The Giants win the game. They're five and six, tied

394
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys, and all bets are off in the

395
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: NFC East, uh Mark, how do you see this playing out? Man?

396
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: This is a tough one. This is right at the

397
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: heart of why the NFC used is a complete puzzle,

398
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: and one of these teams will walk away eight and

399
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: eight with it. I have to look at the Eagles

400
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,719
Speaker 1: right now. Is that team? And I have the Dallas

401
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: all along. I just don't trust Dallas and and honestly,

402
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: New York's defense has gotten so much better over the

403
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: last four weeks that I wouldn't be surprised to see

404
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 1: the g Men take this game two. That's why I

405
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: think New York. They're not playing good football, but defensively

406
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: they look like a bit of a different team. One

407
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: thing with the Giants, I will say, yes, they've they're

408
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: statistically a lot better defensively in recent weeks, but take

409
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: a look at the quarterbacks that they've faced in that time.

410
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: Josh Freeman prior tol Zine, give me a break. Well,

411
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. Listen, you get a win in any

412
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: way you can. And the Cowboys are capable. We've said all.

413
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: They can win any game. They can lose any game too.

414
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: On the road in New York. I mean, listen, this

415
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: is a coin flip game. To me, I don't feel

416
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: strong about one way or the other. This division is

417
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: a disaster. Starting to get a vibe because obviously we

418
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 1: all think we know how things are gonna play out.

419
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: Every football analyst and fan does. But um, something weird

420
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: will happen in one team that nobody thought was gonna

421
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: make the playoffs will make the playoffs. I'm not I

422
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: think the Giants might win the NFC East, like I

423
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: have this weird feeling that the Eagles will come down

424
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: a little bit and the cow and the Giants will

425
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: keep winning. And I have no doubts that the Cowboys

426
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: will have another you know, stumble or two, and I

427
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: including this Sunday, I think this division is way wide open,

428
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 1: and I think the Cowboys are in a dangerous spot.

429
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: I think the Giants have gotten too much credit for

430
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: this winning streak in their season ends here and they've

431
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: been a bad team all year. I Eli is coming

432
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 1: off his best game, but I think this is the

433
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: ghost of Dan's Jets fandom. It all comes back to

434
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 1: the Jets, and he hates it that the Giants always

435
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: seemed to pull off some sort of miraculous thing, and

436
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: so you're kind of afraid or believing maybe that will

437
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: happen again. But I don't think so. I mean, justin

438
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: Tuxsman playing well, I agree they're playing better. Who was

439
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,120
Speaker 1: giving them credit? Because every time anyone talks about New

440
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,440
Speaker 1: York's win streak gets well, they've looked really bad during

441
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: This is also coming from a Patriots fan who's deeply

442
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: scarred by anything Giants related. Let's face it, admitted, right,

443
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: that's a tough, tough situation dealing with. They're not a

444
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 1: great organization. Over the last seven years, they win nine

445
00:21:54,359 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: games a year, outrageous talk from you. I'm just saying there,

446
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: if you look at their regular season schedule and their

447
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: playoff appearances and you stack them up, they're not a

448
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 1: top five or ten type of NFL team over the

449
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: last seven years. A great, amazing runs your organization off

450
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: on the mountaintop, biggest game of the year twice. That

451
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: was become Super Bowl champions. That was only one historical game.

452
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm just say I'm not trying to rub it in, Greg,

453
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying that if I were a Patriots fan and

454
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: I tried it on Monday, and I hated it. If

455
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 1: I were a Patriots fan, it would be hard for

456
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: me to critically look at this Giants team with Coughlin

457
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: and Eli and ever respect them because you thought you

458
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: were better than them, and they keep they beat you twice,

459
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 1: done that to other teams because you are the kid

460
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:44,399
Speaker 1: they grew up watching the Giants with your family. Right,

461
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 1: let me, I'm gonna flip it that you're giving the

462
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: Giants too much credit right now, team the Cowboys have

463
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: shown at times that they can be good. I have

464
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: not seen that once out of the coin flip game though, right,

465
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: any of these Giants are favored actually, but this game

466
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: I took the Cowboys. You two took the Giants, and

467
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: west Lane and Patrick were on my side of things.

468
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: All right, defend your hero. We should get Henry Handsome

469
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,199
Speaker 1: Hank to record a new series of recordings where he

470
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,960
Speaker 1: just says, Mark defends his Brown's Pick. Because I feel

471
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: like it's becoming a weekly thing. The Pittsburgh Steelers go

472
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: into uh what do they call it? Stadium? That used

473
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: to be Cleveland Brown State is First Energy Stadium now

474
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 1: today I will add that on the next win, West's toasted.

475
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: Just to drive Chris crazy. Um, yeah, the Steelers need

476
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: this win. Obviously. They go into Cleveland. The Browns basically

477
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: they're probably they have a date with a four committee

478
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: if they can't win this game. Mark, you see the

479
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: Browns saving their season. I ask you to defend your hero.

480
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: I see them saving it for one more week. I do.

481
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win this game. You know, It's

482
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: comes down to defense. That's why I believe that. You know,

483
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: you look at what the Bengals did last week, and

484
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: that was a weird football game, and they scored thirty

485
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 1: one points in the second quarter, and anyone just looks

486
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,479
Speaker 1: at the final score. But that came off of some

487
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: terrible special teams played. But Cleveland's defense but doesn't count.

488
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 1: It does, but two black pins to fumble over it was.

489
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: You're not gonna see that happen two weeks in around

490
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 1: Cleveland has been average on special teams. They haven't had

491
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: those explosions negatively more than you know once or twice.

492
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: What I think is going to happen is that Cleveland's

493
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:31,160
Speaker 1: going to uh find a way to keep Big Ben. Listen,

494
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: the Steelers have two four touchdown games through the air

495
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: in the last three weeks. I think it is. They've

496
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 1: definitely look different as a team. I this is a

497
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: tough one, but Cleveland has to win, and they found

498
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: a way to go one and one against both division

499
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,440
Speaker 1: foes under Chud, and they're gonna do it again. You're

500
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: an interesting fan because you are deeply negative about your team.

501
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: While you watch the game, you you just seem the world.

502
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,720
Speaker 1: You feel like everything's gonna crumble many times, not this week,

503
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: but many times when you defend, when we ask you

504
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: to defend your hero, you kind of halfheartedly do. This time,

505
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: you're you're fully defending the hero. Two weeks ago or

506
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 1: before the bye, they played Baltimore and I picked him

507
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: to That was a hero win for me because I

508
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: strongly felt they were gonna win that game at home.

509
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: If this when they get around to playing the Steelers

510
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: on the road, I will not pick Cleveland. When the

511
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: Jets and Brown's playing Week fifteen, will that game matter

512
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: for both teams? That's all we've we've said all along

513
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: because Greg is flying us out to that game, uh

514
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: with a full week of comps and hotels and for

515
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 1: Dems that we wanted to mean something for that reason,

516
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: because we're gonna be there, true or falst. Jason Campbell

517
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: played one of the worst games any quarterback has played

518
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL this year last week he did. And

519
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 1: in fact, even for Campbell, who I think is right

520
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: a completely average and every negative and maybe even positive

521
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: sense the words an average quarterback, he's not going to

522
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: play that bad again. He's still holding the ball from

523
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: one of those dropbacks. He's just sitting there waiting for

524
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: someone to get open. Listen, the loser of this, I'd

525
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 1: be willing to fork py Sburg if they lose. I know,

526
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: you guys see them if they go they lose seven games,

527
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: you see them winning out essentially. What is that what

528
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: you're thinking you and West, No, I don't think they'll

529
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: win for them if they lose this game. So you're

530
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 1: expecting them to go eight and a to make the playoffs.

531
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,159
Speaker 1: It's more of a state of the a f C

532
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: that that. Um. I don't believe in the Jets or

533
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: the Dolphins or any of the team that they'll still

534
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: be one game within. I still could make a case

535
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: after what you guys have said and felt about Cleveland

536
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,959
Speaker 1: and Cleveland beats Pittsburgh, what are the Steelers there? Four

537
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,840
Speaker 1: and SEC this week. If they lost this week, that

538
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: would be a deeply disturbing loss for them because you

539
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: would be losing to the Browns no offense, and you

540
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: need to win four or five. You get to five hundred,

541
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: and that might not even be good enough. Steelers need

542
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: this game. You're right, Let's give a little credit to

543
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: your boys, especially one of their players. Joe Hayden is

544
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: having a season that I don't think it's getting enough attention.

545
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,320
Speaker 1: Destroyed a J. Green last week picking off passes. What

546
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: a matchup this week in Santonio Brown, another guy who's

547
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: not getting enough credit. The NFL leader in receiving yards

548
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: right now is Antonio Brown. And you watch him week

549
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 1: after week and the moves he makes after the catch,

550
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 1: and he can catch the short pass, he can go deep,

551
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: he can do anything. He's got great moves. He's one

552
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: of the best receivers in the NFL right now. I mean,

553
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's Calvin Johnson, but he's pretty He's

554
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: a special guy and he's going up against Hayden. That

555
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: should be fun. When one last note, you take away

556
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: a very strange Thursday night game where I think it

557
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:32,640
Speaker 1: was negative fifteen or something, below big Ben is fifteen

558
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: and oh other than that game against Cleveland, so that

559
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: you know he has killed the Browns and no matter

560
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:43,120
Speaker 1: what the situation while here maybe non Geo Smith Division,

561
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: but uh, Jason Campbell played the worst game of anyone

562
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: last Sunday and Ben Roethlisberger played the best, and now

563
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: you're banking on the guy who played the worst to

564
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 1: beat the guy. Know what I'm banking on is if

565
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: we've learned anything about these middling a FC teams over

566
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: the last month, is that whatever happened last week, everything

567
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: is gonna reverse the next week. We're gonna have a

568
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: whole different narrative on next Friday show, and then it's

569
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: all gonna go back to where it was. Give me

570
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: five mark, awesome point. Moving forward. Okay, we'll going to

571
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 1: the rest of the games now, and we'll start with

572
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Cults. This is like one of those weird

573
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: uh in our in our pick them world. We all

574
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: picked the Colts to lose to the Arizona Cardinals in Phoenix.

575
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: And I know the Cardinals have played great at home

576
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: and they have a very strong defense, and Carson Palmer's

577
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: even playing better, But I throw it to you guys,

578
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 1: that's pretty silly at all. Five of us picked against

579
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,560
Speaker 1: the Colts too, who know how to win games, and

580
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,959
Speaker 1: they've been proving it for two years now. It's one

581
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: of those things. If I knew you guys all picked

582
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, I would have taken the Colts, because I

583
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't. It does seem crazy only of the country.

584
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: According to the NFL Weekly pick Them games Infallible, which

585
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:54,600

00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: with like five weeks left to go in this right,

590
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: you should just start right now. Would be a lot

591
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: of fun. I hate the way my picture looks on

592
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 1: this pickum. It's like I look like the wax figure

593
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: became Madame Tussau's wax figure. Loser. I don't know. You know,

594
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: someone with your hair is very wax figure. You know

595
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: you have a lot of product. You look waxy right now,

596
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: though in person, no it's not true. You know you

597
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,959
Speaker 1: look handsome. You know, like someone said the same thing.

598
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: How could you all pick against right? We don't consult

599
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 1: each other and no one It just happened that way.

600
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: Why did you take the Cards? Well, listen, I think

601
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: that the Cardinals have what is the best offense or defense,

602
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: and the best defense is the best unit in this

603
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: whole game. Indie's offense to me, obviously not what it

604
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 1: was without Reggie Wayne. I just think Arizona pulls off.

605
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: They haven't been They haven't been six and four since

606
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: when Neil Lomax, I think, was their quarterback. They're gonna

607
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: go seven and four, and you know what, the Niners

608
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: are on the ropes in that NFC stun wild Cards

609
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 1: stunning a guy named Neil Lomax never won the Super Bowl.

610
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: You're right. I think that I picked the Cardinals because

611
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: they've been such a good home team. They've been one

612
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: of the better home teams in the league. And I

613
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 1: think they're so physical on defense, and the Colts are

614
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 1: a little banged up. They're gonna be without some key

615
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: parts this week, including Greg Toler, their cornerback. I don't

616
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: really like their offensive line. I could see them winning,

617
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 1: but you can also see Patrick Peterson taking t Y

618
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: Hilton out of the game, and then it's like, what

619
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: do you have on offense with the Colts. The thing

620
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: about the thing that was so hard to like about

621
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 1: Arizona's Carson Palmer. Obviously he's been playing well three weeks

622
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: in a row, a ninety plus rating. Hasn't done that

623
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 1: since like two thousand six. I'm going Arizona alright. Moving

624
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The suddenly surging Buccaneers are

625
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: two impressive, well, two wins back to back. There they're

626
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: surgeon I was impressive. An impressive loss before the two

627
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: wins at least, yeah in Seattle that was not bad.

628
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: Now they go to Detroit to face the Lion's team

629
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: that did not play very well last week in a

630
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: road loss to the Steelers. Of course, the Lines are

631
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: a much better team at home. Um and despite the

632
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: Bucks playing better, I think that all of us feel

633
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: that the Lions will win this game. Greg, I ask you,

634
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: the Bucks are playing well, They're going to be seen

635
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: as a real competitor in this games. It's gonna be close. Absolutely,

636
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: it would not not surprise me if Tampa Bay won

637
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 1: this game. I think Tampa Bay right now is an

638
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 1: average team, an average NFL team. I think you put

639
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: him in the A f C, and they could beat

640
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: the Steelers and Ravens and those types of teams. That's

641
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: that's where they're at. And the Lions they can't win

642
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: any game in a blow every game against It could

643
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: be against the best team in the league or bad teams.

644
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: They have a tough time separating. Everything comes down to

645
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: the final few minutes. You know, we spend all this

646
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: time on what's going on with r G three week

647
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 1: T week, all these guys that were attached to guy

648
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: getting no attention. Mike Lennon eight touchdowns, one pick in

649
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: his last five games was twenty three against the Landa

650
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: last week. You're right, Greg, this team is hard to

651
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: pick against Tampa because they are too in eight in

652
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: the way that they're playing. They weren't from the start.

653
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: And you know the Lions, as Tampa love is coming

654
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: back now. Remember early in the year, they lost some

655
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: nail biers, they really did, and and then you got

656
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: you throw in a staff infection outbreak, you have to

657
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: switch quarterbacks. Things Things went about as ugly as they could.

658
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: I wonder if I wonder if Siano keeps his job here.

659
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: The Lions are a weird They're a weird team. They don't.

660
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: They are better at things that you would think they're not,

661
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: Like pass protection. They have one of the best offensive

662
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: lines and pass protection in league. Stafford gets rid of

663
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: the ball very quickly. Whereas you think they have a

664
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 1: great pass stretch, they have one of the worst pass

665
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: rushes in the league right now. They have no pressure

666
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: from the outside. They're one of the worst teams in

667
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 1: terms of sacks. I could see Tampa putting up some

668
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: points and coming up with the spright. I'm a little

669
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: worried about all our Lions love m I would say,

670
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: put it in the books right now. The Detroit Lions

671
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 1: will lose fourteen to the Carolina Panthers in the first

672
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: round of the playoffs. Okay, interesting like that, Put it

673
00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: in the books, all right. Moving on the Minnesota Vikings,

674
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 1: who are a team that exists really only you know, tangibly.

675
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: We don't really care about them anymore. They now go

676
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: to Green Bay, uh to face a Packers team that's

677
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: lost three straight without Brett Farve and uh. You know,

678
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: they're similar to the Ravens in the sense that if

679
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: if they can't win this game, it's gonna be very

680
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: hard to imagine them doing anything down the stretch. You

681
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: think they would be able to defend their home turf

682
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: against Christian Ponder led Vikings team, right, and a lesson

683
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: on Adrian Peterson. Yeah, I think this one came along

684
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: in a great time for green Bay. Obviously, absolutely need

685
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 1: to get a win, maybe get Aaron Rodgers back on Thanksgiving.

686
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: You know, Eddie Lacy last week against the Giants, they

687
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: that run defense in New York is good and nearly

688
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: ran for twenty seven yards. I think Minnesota has the

689
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: worst defense in football right now. And I think you're

690
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: gonna see Scott Tolzine in a bit of more of

691
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: a balanced offense. Let Lacey run that football. Tolzine hasn't

692
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: looked bad. He's got good chemistry with like Jared boy Can.

693
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: He's throwing the ball so killed. I'm saying that we

694
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,680
Speaker 1: don't want to put a final stamp on him. He's

695
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: two games in, but Green Bay isn't a complete disaster.

696
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: I like him better than Seneca Wall, so let's put

697
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 1: it that way. Yeah, And I think Eddie Lacey's is

698
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: learning what Adrian Peterson knows all too well, which is

699
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: you take a quarterback out of the mix and you

700
00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: fill them in with someone that's deeply mediocre, and you're

701
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: gonna struggle to move the ball. He was tearing up

702
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,799
Speaker 1: the NFL for five straight weeks. Since Rogers went out,

703
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: there have been very little running lanes for Lacy, which

704
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: is obviously an issue until Rogers gets back. They are

705
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: really banged up though there without I'm counting four starters

706
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: for this game, most likely five with Johnny Jolly, Don Barclay,

707
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: Casey Hayward, Rogers, Nick Perry, Sam Shields might miss this game.

708
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: There is a point where you're so injured and you're

709
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: playing Scott Tolzene that no game is a gimme. So

710
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: it's still a dangerous spot for Green Bay. They are

711
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 1: a team that last time they went to the Super

712
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,239
Speaker 1: Bowl they were equally banged up. I think if you

713
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: get Rogers back by Thanksgiving it I'm convinced he's healthy yet.

714
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 1: But if you do, I don't have a problem with

715
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 1: them winning five straight to close out a t L

716
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: picked the Packers across the board. Uh. Speaking of games

717
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: that only exists in the tangible sense, the Jacksonville Jaguars,

718
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 1: at one of nine, travel to Houston to face a

719
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 1: Texans team on an eight game losing streak. West is

720
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 1: not here to talk up the Texans, but we don't

721
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 1: have to either. We all pick the Texans to win.

722
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,800
Speaker 1: But you know who cares, Right, Let's set a record

723
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: for the shortest preview of the game. If the Texans

724
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: can't win this, they're the worst team in the NFL. Alright?

725
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: Moving on? Uh? San Diego Chargers head to Kansas City

726
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,840
Speaker 1: to face the Chief's team, coming off its first loss

727
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:44,479
Speaker 1: of the season. The Chargers also in a situation where

728
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 1: they almost need to win at four and six. Uh, Mark,

729
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: I ask you, are the Chargers gonna keep their season

730
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: alive on Sunday at Arrowhead? You know, I may have

731
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:57,399
Speaker 1: misspoke because in a male bag email organic email thinging

732
00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 1: that we went around picking which team was going to

733
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: get out and at that sixth seed in the FC,

734
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,239
Speaker 1: I went to see Indego because of Philip Rivers. And

735
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,760
Speaker 1: then after I published that went and looked at their schedules.

736
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: Try to warn you weird, weird that you wouldn't have

737
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: considered the schedule before answering that question. It feels like

738
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 1: a factor. I was rash because they've got a guy

739
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: that just kind of mailing his job in right. I

740
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: was sort of mailing it in that date. I went

741
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: with a gut feeling, which I think was wrong because listen,

742
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,359
Speaker 1: you got the Chiefs. They played fairness in the Chiefs again.

743
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: Do you still walk to work? What is your car

744
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,839
Speaker 1: situation right now? Yeah, I've been walking toward so at

745
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: four in the morning, but offering you my bike. Wait,

746
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: have you seen the uprise of these things? Where is

747
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: the punch out thing where you've got random people running

748
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: up to civilians and just hitting them. Think this is

749
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: in several U S cities and even in Europe where uh,

750
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:49,760
Speaker 1: rowdy teens gather and uh just randomly knock out somebody.

751
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: It's a terrible, terrible thing. Christy team come and hit me. Yeah,

752
00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 1: it's not a team, it's it's like teens. Well, anyways,

753
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 1: I we live in Los Angeles, of all places, not

754
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: the maybe the safest harbor for walking to I hope

755
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: you don't get punched out. I hope. Yeah. I was

756
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: kind of pointing out that that Monday morning email shift,

757
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: you're walking to work at four in the morning to

758
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: get in after a pretty long day Sunday. So I'll

759
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: give you a little bit of a pass. Throw this

760
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: to the bus two words company car. I like to

761
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: put it on. I'm off for it. I'm not paying.

762
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna. I'm gonna stand behind my pick though, because

763
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: I picked San Diego to win this game. I think

764
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 1: Kansas City is going to be staring at a three

765
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 1: game losing streak after this game and they have to

766
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: play Denver again. Chargers are a weird team. They can

767
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: win this. Come on, everybody's so big and pumping life

768
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 1: into the Chargers just because of this Philip Rivers renaissance

769
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: that never really was, never really was. Just come on,

770
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,319
Speaker 1: he hasn't been that great. The team is exactly where

771
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: we figured they'd be, maybe one win extra. I just

772
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: feel like that was a narrative that got overblown. We're

773
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: going back to the quarterback wins and losses. You don't

774
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: think of order back can be playing well unless they're

775
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 1: winning a ton of games. You could be playing well.

776
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 1: Kan's City is twenty five and points scored this year.

777
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,839
Speaker 1: You can beat them. I love this Chargers offense right now.

778
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 1: Ryan Matthews is running as hard as anyone in the league.

779
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,279
Speaker 1: I mean on a first or second down. He's the

780
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: top five NFL running back. Maybe he can't do the

781
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 1: other things like past protection, catching passes. But he's fun.

782
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: But but rivers to dance point not as sharp the

783
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. He missed some throws in that

784
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: Miami game that they could have won. I picked Kansas City,

785
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 1: Dan picked Kansas City Westley and actually went with the Chargers.

786
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: I just think there's something about this team. I'm not

787
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 1: in love with them overall, but at home, they're tough

788
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: minded and they'll just figure out a way to win

789
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: a close game. All right. Now, here's the next game

790
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: with Carolina Panthers, who are just going nuts right now

791
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 1: at seven and three and beating everybody on the schedule.

792
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: Head to Miami to face a Dolphins team that you know,

793
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,800
Speaker 1: kind of stopped the tail spin with a win last week.

794
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,240
Speaker 1: But I would think in our picks represent this feeling

795
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,600
Speaker 1: across the board that you kind of would be thinking,

796
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 1: not clearly to pick against the Panthers right now. You

797
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: can talk leftdown game and all that stuff, but they're

798
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 1: just playing so well in all phases that you gotta

799
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: side with the Panthers right now, right Yeah, I think so.

800
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 1: Against Miami's offensive line, even without Charles Johnson, who's going

801
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: to be out for this game for Carolina. They have

802
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: enough problems. Any game, I think Carolina will just bum

803
00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: rush Ryan Tannehill, who's not playing well that right now.

804
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: He's missing a lot of deep throws. He's taken a

805
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: while to make decisions about. The only thing Ryan Tannell

806
00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: is doing well is tackling after he throws an interception.

807
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: He is awesome at that. You could put him out

808
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: there at safety. I'm serious. There's been a couple of

809
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:44,280
Speaker 1: plays and you really lowered the bar on your Ryan Tannehill,

810
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: great tackler after that's another offseason post Best quarterback tacklers

811
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: after I n T s Ryan Tannells got number one. Yeah,

812
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 1: I have to go Panthers here too. You know, we

813
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: saw this at the end of that Bucks game, which

814
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: was a disaster for Miami. Seventeen of Tannehill's sis take

815
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 1: can come in the fourth quarter when the game for

816
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: Miami often has been close, and it just killed them.

817
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: And I think that, you know, you you look at Carolina.

818
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: Is it going to be short week, possible letdown game?

819
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: I don't think so. They just they're too solid on defense.

820
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 1: The Panthers offense keeps other teams in games because they

821
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,840
Speaker 1: take forever on their drives. They're not that consistent. I

822
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: don't see this game being a blowout just because they

823
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 1: don't really score over points. That's what they do. How

824
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 1: fun would it be where as was announced on Wednesday,

825
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: we're all going to the Super Bowl? How fun would

826
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: it be if the Panthers rolled through the NFC and

827
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 1: you've got a weak straight of Steve Smith sitting at

828
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: a table media availability Cam Newton in the Super Bowl

829
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,879
Speaker 1: the official team of around the League Carolina. I like it.

830
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: We'd have to get an editor, David Ealely to the

831
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: Super Bowl somehow if that, if that ever happened, Biggest Panthers,

832
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 1: you could wrap him up in tape and smuggle him

833
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,279
Speaker 1: inside of a suitcase. We could potentially get a riverboat

834
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: for riverboat Ron to go up and down on the

835
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,919
Speaker 1: East River while we tape a podcast with him that

836
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 1: sanitary but sounds fun. By the way, nobody else knows really,

837
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 1: but I will say that he listens to the podcast

838
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:11,760
Speaker 1: while while lifting in the morning, so he pumps iron

839
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 1: to Mark Sessler's dulcet tones. Moving forward, the Chicago Bears

840
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: uh speaking of a team that needs a win, at

841
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: six and four, the Bears head to St. Louis to play.

842
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 1: You know, let's say it a frisky Rams team that

843
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,319
Speaker 1: hasn't been nearly as bad as people thought they would

844
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: be after UH, Sam Bradford went down, Josh McCown starting again,

845
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: and the way things look, it could be UH for

846
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: a significant period of time going forward. Who knows. But Mark,

847
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: I ask you the Chicago Bears. Are they gonna get

848
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: another win with a backup quarterback? You know, I picked

849
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,719
Speaker 1: the Bears, but I see a real big problem Chicago here.

850
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 1: If they aren't gonna win, it's because their run defense.

851
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: We just talked about it. Ray Rice ran through Chicago's defense.

852
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 1: That tells you that, right there is the acid test.

853
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,400
Speaker 1: When ray Rice, who's can't stumble for two yards, is

854
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 1: blowing through Chicago, it's I don't know if it's called

855
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:07,280
Speaker 1: an acid tests. I think it's a litmus test. Acid

856
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 1: is like you throw in someone's face in an act

857
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 1: of revenge. I took. An acid test is absolutely the

858
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: kool aid acid test for ac and acid there it

859
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: is because it's this is the true test of two

860
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:23,120
Speaker 1: things coming at everybody tweet at Mark Sessler. I think

861
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 1: if he is right or wrong. I took an acid

862
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: test one summer on Martha's vineyard when I was waiting there.

863
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: It's kind of a hippie hippie summer. A lot of

864
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: people are there, but I don't think. I don't think

865
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: that's what they're they're talking about. Well, it's listen, we'll

866
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: look it up to you know dot com takes acid

867
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:45,879
Speaker 1: test on Martha's vine point being Zach Stacy against Chicago's

868
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: run defense, I like random. I wish I could switch

869
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 1: this pick. Really, that would give Wesley here. See no

870
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:57,880
Speaker 1: difference between Clemens and Sam Bradford in terms of honestly

871
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 1: running that offense. I think Zach Stacy is the center,

872
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 1: by the way, because Greg, myself, and Patrick all picked

873
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,920
Speaker 1: the Rams. That's what I'm saying. If you switched, it

874
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,319
Speaker 1: would be a Hero pictures that makes sense. I hope

875
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 1: you're right. Zach Stacy's on my fantasy team. He's been excited.

876
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: I want to see if this Tavon Austin renaissance is

877
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 1: for real. I want to see if Long and Quinn,

878
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 1: who are playing like the best duo in the league

879
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 1: over the last three or weeks, this RAMS team has

880
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: the potential to be very good. I think they might

881
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 1: be a better team than the Bears. Renaissance was it

882
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: for one game and it was excited. Moving forward, we

883
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,759
Speaker 1: have two forked teams. Greg get us excited for the

884
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans facing off against the Matt McGloin led Oakland Raiders.

885
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: We have a lot of fans of the Titans and

886
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: Raiders are upset we've already forked these teams, even though

887
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:52,239
Speaker 1: they're only one game out of a playoffs. One of

888
00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 1: them is gonna be five and six. I think Dennis Allen,

889
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: just to take a different vantage point here, deserves consider

890
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: ration for Coach of the Year because this is the

891
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 1: worst roster. He's got mcgloyin and Street and Rashad Jennings

892
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,439
Speaker 1: in this defense, and you never know what's gonna show

893
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: up because they're not that talented. But man, they play

894
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,680
Speaker 1: hard every week, and uh, I give them a lot

895
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: of credit for point off four teams, four wins. This

896
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 1: is a terrible team. That's why I took the type.

897
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: You know, we put Alan on our making the leap list,

898
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: and I'd have to say that he's he's come clean

899
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: on that he's done a good job. And if they

900
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 1: go five and six, and even if they don't win

901
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 1: another game and come out of this year with the

902
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:34,839
Speaker 1: potential future quarterback in mcglogin, I'll tell you what it's

903
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: at better. They're in better shape than half of these

904
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 1: so called six seed chasers in the a f ceed

905
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:44,120
Speaker 1: who don't have quarterbacks. They're legitimately six you do have,

906
00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: so called they're chasing the sixth seed. Well, I just

907
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that the Raiders, after we all thought, oh,

908
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 1: maybe Terrell Prior is the answer, blah blah blah, out

909
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: of nowhere comes Matt mcgloyn. He was so good last week.

910
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,279
Speaker 1: I'm amazed that I picked against him this week. You

911
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 1: know what said, you guys are all happy and excited

912
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,439
Speaker 1: about Dennis Allen's going to be fired on January three.

913
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: Know it won't be his fault, but it's the Oakland

914
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 1: Raiders involved. They're just going to do something completely destructive

915
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: to their own brand. Alright, Our last game of the

916
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:17,640
Speaker 1: week the San Francisco forty. And this is a game

917
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,880
Speaker 1: one of those games that when they put together the

918
00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: schedule over the summer, they're all pumped up about and

919
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: then it, you know, comes out and it's not that

920
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: good San Francisco. San Francisco forty Niners at six and

921
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 1: four and in desperate need of a win, go to

922
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 1: Washington to face the fading Redskins. Where the faded Redskins. Um.

923
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 1: I would think this could be maybe a tricky game

924
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,360
Speaker 1: to pick if the Redskins were in the mix. But

925
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: I feel like there's a lot of bad juju around

926
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,840
Speaker 1: there right now, and I think the Niners in a

927
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:48,000
Speaker 1: spot where they can't lose. So I think you have

928
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 1: those two things together and it's going to be a

929
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: decisive win. Greg, do you agree? I totally agree. I

930
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 1: could see the forty Niners blowing the doors off because

931
00:45:56,680 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: They're big problem is in the passing game. But when

932
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: you watch them, Colin Kaepernick, like Cam Newton still on

933
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: quirks about four or five awesome throws every week, even

934
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 1: in their bad games that that really impress you. And

935
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: he's a matchup type of guy. And now they got

936
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 1: the beautiful matchup, and I could see their offense doing

937
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:16,960
Speaker 1: what they did during that winning streak, putting up thirty

938
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 1: five points and running away with it. And on the

939
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: flip side, you know, San Francisco giving up about thirteen

940
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 1: point four points per game since Week four, best in

941
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:28,280
Speaker 1: the league, and that neutralizes what is Washington's only strength.

942
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 1: They've been able to score. But that defense in Washington,

943
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 1: along with Minnesota, just awful. And I agree with Greg

944
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:36,760
Speaker 1: this is a San Francisco romp to keep him alive.

945
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: Because that they lose this game and go six and

946
00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: five and Arizona is able to win. Suddenly, the whole

947
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: situation in that wild card race is crazy. In the NFC,

948
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 1: they do need to write the ship right now after

949
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: two close losses. I still believe in this forty nine

950
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: game because the only thing they don't do well is

951
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: throw the ball, which is pretty significant, but they're a

952
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 1: pretty complete team. Otherwise they can run and I like

953
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,279
Speaker 1: the way they defense is coming. Didn't we I mean

954
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: a lot before the season. If someone said ten and

955
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 1: six for the forty niners in that division with Seattle,

956
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have blinked at that. I think they can

957
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: do that and get him into the playoffs. They get

958
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: crab Tree back, let's see what happens. Alright, that is

959
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,200
Speaker 1: Week twelve. We will be back on Sunday night as

960
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: we always are, to go over all these games and

961
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 1: talk about them, and maybe we could get Uh Westling

962
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: on the horn Uh in his local tavern and that

963
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: will be fun. But until then, this is Dan Hansis

964
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: signing Off for the Sizzler, for the Boss, for k

965

966

968
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,120

970
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,320
Speaker 1: to steal a dog. To do that,
