Welcome to Go Morning Football, presented by 25 00:01:50,828 --> 00:01:53,948 Speaker 1: old trapper Beef Jerky Live in New York City. It's Monday, 26 00:01:54,068 --> 00:01:57,628 Speaker 1: January ninth. Kyle's jumping out of his stats. I'm Jamie Artdolls, 27 00:01:57,668 --> 00:02:00,108 Speaker 1: Kyle Brant, Peter Schrager, and a Super Bowl champion to 28 00:02:00,228 --> 00:02:02,948 Speaker 1: my left. Jason mccordy, j What was it like watching 29 00:02:02,948 --> 00:02:05,388 Speaker 1: that Bill's Patriots game yesterday? For you? It was a 30 00:02:05,468 --> 00:02:07,628 Speaker 1: roller coal so a lot of emotions. My brother had 31 00:02:07,668 --> 00:02:10,348 Speaker 1: a good game. They already were ushering him and Slater 32 00:02:10,388 --> 00:02:13,028 Speaker 1: out of the stadium, putting a riding on the wall. Guys, 33 00:02:13,068 --> 00:02:15,548 Speaker 1: great cars, get out. But it was to be here 34 00:02:15,548 --> 00:02:18,228 Speaker 1: this morning. Where is I thought he'd be right? Are 35 00:02:18,308 --> 00:02:25,148 Speaker 1: you Devin ever? Oh yeah, lead Block. Let's get a 36 00:02:27,788 --> 00:02:30,708 Speaker 1: football party and Lions packers. Here's the deal. The Seahawks 37 00:02:30,708 --> 00:02:33,108 Speaker 1: won and overtime they beat the Rams. So the Lions 38 00:02:33,148 --> 00:02:35,428 Speaker 1: are out. They can't make the playoffs. Dan Campbell doesn't 39 00:02:35,468 --> 00:02:41,148 Speaker 1: give a bleep. Lions win taking the Packers out? Rogers out? 40 00:02:41,668 --> 00:02:44,268 Speaker 1: Are they done? Are we ever gonna see him play 41 00:02:44,308 --> 00:02:46,988 Speaker 1: for the Packers again? For a second? Who cares? The 42 00:02:47,028 --> 00:02:49,948 Speaker 1: Lions won, Rogers says, give us a second. He's walking 43 00:02:49,948 --> 00:02:52,508 Speaker 1: off with his buddy copy maybe for the last time ever. 44 00:02:52,708 --> 00:02:55,308 Speaker 1: We do not know. Here's what we know, guys. The 45 00:02:55,428 --> 00:02:58,628 Speaker 1: Lions just went into lambo and won. The Lions finished 46 00:02:58,708 --> 00:03:01,068 Speaker 1: nine and eight on the season. Both these teams missed 47 00:03:01,068 --> 00:03:05,108 Speaker 1: the playoffs, So the Seahawks are in the playoffs. Twenty 48 00:03:05,148 --> 00:03:07,068 Speaker 1: to sixteen is your final and it's a tradition unlike 49 00:03:07,108 --> 00:03:10,148 Speaker 1: any other. The we just lost end this season in 50 00:03:10,188 --> 00:03:13,508 Speaker 1: shocking fashion. Aaron Rodgers press Coffin's taken away up the twelve. 51 00:03:14,428 --> 00:03:16,388 Speaker 1: I mean it's a little raw right now. You know, 52 00:03:16,388 --> 00:03:18,148 Speaker 1: it's just a little bit after the game. So I 53 00:03:18,188 --> 00:03:20,428 Speaker 1: want to take the emotion out of it and have 54 00:03:20,708 --> 00:03:24,108 Speaker 1: the conversations and see where the organization's at and see 55 00:03:24,108 --> 00:03:26,588 Speaker 1: how I feel after some time has passed. Is there 56 00:03:26,628 --> 00:03:28,988 Speaker 1: any sort of time table? They're like a date where 57 00:03:28,988 --> 00:03:31,428 Speaker 1: you want to make your decision by or yeah. I mean, 58 00:03:31,468 --> 00:03:34,228 Speaker 1: I'm not going to hold them hosts if they wanted 59 00:03:34,268 --> 00:03:36,108 Speaker 1: to move on or at least we're open to it. 60 00:03:36,548 --> 00:03:39,988 Speaker 1: Would you be open to that too, or going to 61 00:03:40,028 --> 00:03:42,788 Speaker 1: a different team. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I 62 00:03:42,828 --> 00:03:46,508 Speaker 1: don't like saying never, but I gotta see how I'm feeling. First, 63 00:03:46,708 --> 00:03:48,268 Speaker 1: you know, you want to go out when the Super Bowl, 64 00:03:48,508 --> 00:03:52,108 Speaker 1: but very rare that that actually gets to happen. I 65 00:03:52,188 --> 00:03:54,948 Speaker 1: don't want to, you know, lose your last game and 66 00:03:55,108 --> 00:03:59,188 Speaker 1: miss out in playoffs. But this is a great profession 67 00:03:59,268 --> 00:04:02,708 Speaker 1: and a really tough business and doesn't always end with 68 00:04:02,868 --> 00:04:08,908 Speaker 1: rainbows for everybody. Now rainbows. Super wild Card weekend schedule 69 00:04:09,028 --> 00:04:11,388 Speaker 1: is sick. It doesn't have the Packers. We're gonna look 70 00:04:11,388 --> 00:04:13,828 Speaker 1: at the NFC side because the Lions win, the Seahawks 71 00:04:13,828 --> 00:04:16,148 Speaker 1: are in. They'll travel to San Francisco to take on 72 00:04:16,148 --> 00:04:18,948 Speaker 1: the nine or Saturday on Fox. Then on Sunday it's 73 00:04:19,148 --> 00:04:21,948 Speaker 1: Giants Vikings. That game was played in the regular season 74 00:04:21,948 --> 00:04:26,508 Speaker 1: in December, and then Monday Night Cowboys Buccaneers. First times. 75 00:04:26,548 --> 00:04:28,228 Speaker 1: There's two thousand and nine. All of the wild card 76 00:04:28,268 --> 00:04:30,788 Speaker 1: games for the weekend or a rematch from the regular season. 77 00:04:31,348 --> 00:04:33,948 Speaker 1: Packers know where to be found. You heard Aaron Rodgers 78 00:04:34,068 --> 00:04:37,188 Speaker 1: after the game. Sadly it's now become a repeat Rinson 79 00:04:37,268 --> 00:04:39,548 Speaker 1: repeat of what are you gonna do? Now? It's the offseason? 80 00:04:39,628 --> 00:04:42,188 Speaker 1: Power surprised? Are you guys that the Lions are the 81 00:04:42,188 --> 00:04:45,228 Speaker 1: ones that eliminated Rogers? And just general stands on where 82 00:04:45,228 --> 00:04:46,948 Speaker 1: the Packers sit right now? Peter, do you know what 83 00:04:46,988 --> 00:04:49,748 Speaker 1: I think We're gonna do a lot of Packers this week? 84 00:04:49,908 --> 00:04:52,948 Speaker 1: We're a lot of Packers this offseason. You guys are 85 00:04:52,988 --> 00:05:00,148 Speaker 1: the new host. You don't even know Rogers, Nam Rogers. 86 00:05:01,188 --> 00:05:03,788 Speaker 1: Let's get the Lions there due. Let's do nothing to 87 00:05:03,948 --> 00:05:07,708 Speaker 1: play war is what everyone said. And these Lions young 88 00:05:07,788 --> 00:05:11,748 Speaker 1: guns came into Lambeau and they've played so free and 89 00:05:12,148 --> 00:05:14,828 Speaker 1: so fearless. And I want to shout out the coaching 90 00:05:14,868 --> 00:05:17,708 Speaker 1: staff Ben Johnson, the offensive coordinator, and Dan Campbell for 91 00:05:17,748 --> 00:05:23,548 Speaker 1: some of these fourth quarter decisions. This young, fiery, fearless 92 00:05:24,028 --> 00:05:27,388 Speaker 1: Lions team goes in with quote unquote nothing to play 93 00:05:27,508 --> 00:05:30,388 Speaker 1: for and flips the table. You know, before the game 94 00:05:31,388 --> 00:05:33,388 Speaker 1: or earlier, the game list of Stark had Dan Campbell 95 00:05:33,468 --> 00:05:35,508 Speaker 1: and she was like, you know, you guys got eliminated. 96 00:05:35,508 --> 00:05:37,668 Speaker 1: He go, we want to beat them and like looked 97 00:05:37,708 --> 00:05:40,748 Speaker 1: at the camera and I'm at home, okay, Like that 98 00:05:40,908 --> 00:05:43,628 Speaker 1: was awesome from the Lions, And what a launch pad 99 00:05:43,668 --> 00:05:45,708 Speaker 1: into the off season and next season where guess what 100 00:05:45,828 --> 00:05:48,308 Speaker 1: the Lions. They've got the Rams first round pick. Looks 101 00:05:48,308 --> 00:05:50,308 Speaker 1: like that's gonna be their number four, number six. I 102 00:05:50,308 --> 00:05:52,068 Speaker 1: gotta do the math. They have a top ten pick. 103 00:05:52,308 --> 00:05:54,868 Speaker 1: Here come the Lions. You better believe it. And gosh 104 00:05:54,908 --> 00:05:57,028 Speaker 1: do I love that win for them? Sorry, Green Bay, 105 00:05:57,068 --> 00:05:59,148 Speaker 1: at every opportunity, you didn't get the job done. Aaron 106 00:05:59,228 --> 00:06:02,468 Speaker 1: Rodgers's conversation, it'll come, but today it's about the Lions. Yeah, 107 00:06:02,508 --> 00:06:04,548 Speaker 1: let's give the Lions some love. Friday, we all went 108 00:06:04,588 --> 00:06:06,468 Speaker 1: around the table. We had hats out. We were picking 109 00:06:06,468 --> 00:06:08,988 Speaker 1: teams who we thought were gonna win, and I said, 110 00:06:09,028 --> 00:06:11,388 Speaker 1: I was like, hey, even if Seattle wins that game, 111 00:06:11,428 --> 00:06:14,028 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions are gonna show up and be ready 112 00:06:14,028 --> 00:06:16,388 Speaker 1: to play. They're a young team. When you're young, you're hunger. 113 00:06:16,468 --> 00:06:18,588 Speaker 1: You just want to go out there and make plays. 114 00:06:18,788 --> 00:06:21,028 Speaker 1: And the young guys did. Two rookies out there on 115 00:06:21,068 --> 00:06:23,348 Speaker 1: the field last night. You look at Adan Hutchinson and 116 00:06:23,388 --> 00:06:26,308 Speaker 1: you look at Kirby Joseph. These guys were all over 117 00:06:26,348 --> 00:06:28,708 Speaker 1: the field, Aidan hutch and nine and a half sacks 118 00:06:28,708 --> 00:06:31,508 Speaker 1: on the season, had two last night, getting after Aaron 119 00:06:31,588 --> 00:06:34,228 Speaker 1: Rodgers and making plays. You said it in the highlight, Cole. 120 00:06:34,468 --> 00:06:38,548 Speaker 1: Kirby Joseph three interceptions off of Aaron Rodgers could have 121 00:06:38,548 --> 00:06:42,028 Speaker 1: had two this season, just continuing to go off. When 122 00:06:42,068 --> 00:06:44,148 Speaker 1: you have young guys who get it, they understand it. 123 00:06:44,348 --> 00:06:46,668 Speaker 1: Kirby Joseph after the games, they didn't know if it 124 00:06:46,708 --> 00:06:49,228 Speaker 1: was gonna be Aaron Rodgers last game, he said, But 125 00:06:49,268 --> 00:06:51,468 Speaker 1: if it is, I'm gonna package this ball up and 126 00:06:51,588 --> 00:06:53,748 Speaker 1: send it to him and hopefully he'll sign it. He's 127 00:06:53,908 --> 00:06:56,628 Speaker 1: but better yet if he doesn't retire, more plays to 128 00:06:56,708 --> 00:06:59,948 Speaker 1: be made. This young Lions team has an edge about them. 129 00:07:00,148 --> 00:07:02,788 Speaker 1: Deshaun Elliott, their other safety. He was talking after the 130 00:07:02,868 --> 00:07:04,748 Speaker 1: game and we're just like, no, we don't like him. 131 00:07:04,788 --> 00:07:07,428 Speaker 1: They don't respect us. A rod doesn't respect us because 132 00:07:07,468 --> 00:07:08,948 Speaker 1: I don't know he's gonna be a Hall of Famer, 133 00:07:08,988 --> 00:07:10,708 Speaker 1: but I don't like the way he goes about it. 134 00:07:10,828 --> 00:07:13,668 Speaker 1: I don't care about any of that, believe Deshaun Elliott 135 00:07:13,748 --> 00:07:16,628 Speaker 1: fired up in the locker room after the game. There's 136 00:07:16,668 --> 00:07:19,348 Speaker 1: no love loss. They wanted to end the Packers season 137 00:07:19,388 --> 00:07:21,548 Speaker 1: to a young team who's trying to put their stables 138 00:07:21,668 --> 00:07:23,628 Speaker 1: hey in this division with somebody that we want to 139 00:07:23,628 --> 00:07:25,868 Speaker 1: be reckoned with. So it's a great take. And I 140 00:07:25,908 --> 00:07:28,268 Speaker 1: want to apologize to the Lions for saying this, but 141 00:07:28,308 --> 00:07:30,228 Speaker 1: I really mean it. I can't believe it. I can't 142 00:07:30,228 --> 00:07:31,868 Speaker 1: believe what I just saw, and I don't think the 143 00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:33,948 Speaker 1: Packers can believe it, and I don't think Rogers can 144 00:07:34,028 --> 00:07:36,188 Speaker 1: believe it. I don't think they can believe that They're 145 00:07:36,188 --> 00:07:38,148 Speaker 1: gonna wake up this morning. But did we really lose 146 00:07:38,188 --> 00:07:40,348 Speaker 1: to the Lions at home? What the hell was that 147 00:07:40,548 --> 00:07:43,428 Speaker 1: eliminated a limit? They were out and now we're out, 148 00:07:43,468 --> 00:07:45,748 Speaker 1: and we're sitting with the Lions and the Bears watching 149 00:07:45,788 --> 00:07:48,988 Speaker 1: the playoffs, watching and I will start changing my thinking 150 00:07:49,028 --> 00:07:50,988 Speaker 1: about not being able to believe it. Here's the reason 151 00:07:51,028 --> 00:07:53,108 Speaker 1: I can't believe it. That win last night was the 152 00:07:53,188 --> 00:07:56,228 Speaker 1: second biggest Lions win of my lifetime. When I was 153 00:07:56,268 --> 00:07:58,988 Speaker 1: in seventh grade, they beat the Cowboys in the playoffs. 154 00:07:59,228 --> 00:08:02,628 Speaker 1: Seventh grade, I had glasses and it was a disgusting haircut. 155 00:08:03,148 --> 00:08:05,268 Speaker 1: And then this one Lion in the playoffs back in 156 00:08:05,268 --> 00:08:08,228 Speaker 1: the early nineties, and then Lions already eliminated from the playoffs, 157 00:08:08,388 --> 00:08:12,028 Speaker 1: but just ruining the Packers world in their beautiful field, 158 00:08:12,068 --> 00:08:15,588 Speaker 1: in front of their banners and under the wintry Wisconsin knight. 159 00:08:15,788 --> 00:08:19,788 Speaker 1: It's just an amazing thing, amazing, amazing thing, Aidan Hutchinson. 160 00:08:19,868 --> 00:08:23,828 Speaker 1: This rookie is jumping into the stands the hollowed grounds 161 00:08:23,948 --> 00:08:28,108 Speaker 1: where Alex anzalone running around high five and fans. I 162 00:08:28,188 --> 00:08:30,228 Speaker 1: can't believe it. And I'm gonna get over it and 163 00:08:30,268 --> 00:08:32,228 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start to believe it, but for right now, 164 00:08:32,548 --> 00:08:34,508 Speaker 1: I can't believe it. This is supposed to be in 165 00:08:34,548 --> 00:08:37,028 Speaker 1: the divisional round and they just lost to some NFC. No, 166 00:08:37,148 --> 00:08:39,788 Speaker 1: they lost to the Lions, And I just have to 167 00:08:39,828 --> 00:08:42,548 Speaker 1: say they probably did this a favor once I saw 168 00:08:42,628 --> 00:08:45,828 Speaker 1: the potential matchup. Do we really need to see the 169 00:08:45,868 --> 00:08:47,868 Speaker 1: Packers get the crap kicked out of them? Buy the 170 00:08:47,948 --> 00:08:50,748 Speaker 1: Niners for the fiftieth time in the playoffs. I'm out 171 00:08:50,748 --> 00:08:52,628 Speaker 1: on that, I really do. And it's too bad the 172 00:08:52,668 --> 00:08:54,628 Speaker 1: Lions can't get in. They just they didn't win enough 173 00:08:54,628 --> 00:08:57,148 Speaker 1: early on. But they were the better team this time 174 00:08:57,148 --> 00:08:59,268 Speaker 1: when they played the Packers, last time, when they played 175 00:08:59,268 --> 00:09:01,268 Speaker 1: the Packers, next time, when they played the Packers. There 176 00:09:01,308 --> 00:09:03,308 Speaker 1: was no fluke. I can't believe it, but I promise 177 00:09:03,348 --> 00:09:05,468 Speaker 1: I will start believing it. What I saw was amazing. 178 00:09:05,628 --> 00:09:08,628 Speaker 1: The highlight with Kirby Joseph with his three picks in 179 00:09:08,668 --> 00:09:11,068 Speaker 1: a season was first time I ever done that. Ties 180 00:09:11,148 --> 00:09:13,548 Speaker 1: for the most of any player in a career. Brian 181 00:09:13,668 --> 00:09:15,988 Speaker 1: Urlacher did it three times. Kirby jose has already done 182 00:09:16,028 --> 00:09:17,908 Speaker 1: it three times. He just took care business in his 183 00:09:18,028 --> 00:09:20,108 Speaker 1: first season. I can't believe it. I just can't believe it. 184 00:09:20,508 --> 00:09:22,828 Speaker 1: All right, let's welcome in our NFIL Network insider Ian 185 00:09:22,908 --> 00:09:24,748 Speaker 1: Rabbit Horn. Now, I in a lot of news to 186 00:09:24,828 --> 00:09:28,228 Speaker 1: cover today this week. Let's start in Houston. Last night, 187 00:09:28,268 --> 00:09:31,068 Speaker 1: the Texans fired their head coach Lovey Smith after his 188 00:09:31,148 --> 00:09:33,708 Speaker 1: first season with the team. Is only season, now give 189 00:09:33,788 --> 00:09:35,508 Speaker 1: us the details on that move. Yeah, it was a 190 00:09:35,548 --> 00:09:38,188 Speaker 1: big win yesterday for the Houston Texans, then a big 191 00:09:38,228 --> 00:09:41,788 Speaker 1: loss last night for Lovey Smith officially fired. Blew home 192 00:09:41,868 --> 00:09:44,148 Speaker 1: landed in Houston. Jove straight to the office, heard the 193 00:09:44,148 --> 00:09:47,108 Speaker 1: news from owner Kal McNair and gentle manager Nick Assirio. 194 00:09:47,228 --> 00:09:49,228 Speaker 1: A one and done in Houston for the second year 195 00:09:49,228 --> 00:09:51,428 Speaker 1: in a row. It was David Kelly last year. It 196 00:09:51,508 --> 00:09:53,828 Speaker 1: was Lovey Smith this year, and just a lot of 197 00:09:53,868 --> 00:09:56,788 Speaker 1: frustration overall with the building of the team. Obviously the 198 00:09:56,868 --> 00:10:00,468 Speaker 1: record was what it was, inconsistent quarterback play, a lot 199 00:10:00,508 --> 00:10:03,348 Speaker 1: of young players on the rawship, but just not enough progress. 200 00:10:03,468 --> 00:10:06,068 Speaker 1: I would say for for Lovey Smith, so he is 201 00:10:06,148 --> 00:10:08,828 Speaker 1: now out. Nikissirio going to run the search and two 202 00:10:08,868 --> 00:10:11,508 Speaker 1: top candidates I would keep an eye on Jonathan Gannon 203 00:10:11,588 --> 00:10:14,428 Speaker 1: from the Eagles to Miko Ryans from the San Francisco 204 00:10:14,508 --> 00:10:17,708 Speaker 1: forty nine ers. Meanwhile, the Denver Broncos already have a 205 00:10:17,708 --> 00:10:20,428 Speaker 1: coaching search. We know that they are often running and 206 00:10:20,548 --> 00:10:23,908 Speaker 1: obviously one of the biggest candidates there, Sean Payton, the 207 00:10:24,348 --> 00:10:27,628 Speaker 1: still technically Saints coach, still under contract with them for 208 00:10:27,708 --> 00:10:29,508 Speaker 1: two years, was hanging out in the set of Fox 209 00:10:29,508 --> 00:10:32,268 Speaker 1: with Peter Schrager yesterday detailing a lot of this. He's 210 00:10:32,308 --> 00:10:35,108 Speaker 1: already spoken with the owner, he is going to interview 211 00:10:35,228 --> 00:10:37,468 Speaker 1: with the Broncos. And the interesting thing here, guys, is 212 00:10:37,508 --> 00:10:40,268 Speaker 1: my understanding is the Broncos and Saints are already in 213 00:10:40,308 --> 00:10:43,268 Speaker 1: a good place when it comes to compensation. Saints are 214 00:10:43,268 --> 00:10:45,788 Speaker 1: gonna want at least a one. The Broncos have not 215 00:10:45,988 --> 00:10:50,588 Speaker 1: blinked Meanwhile, the Broncos are also said to interview Jim Harbaugh, 216 00:10:50,908 --> 00:10:54,668 Speaker 1: the still Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh, and of course talked 217 00:10:54,668 --> 00:10:57,228 Speaker 1: to friends across the league and in college football. They 218 00:10:57,268 --> 00:11:00,988 Speaker 1: believe at least that his flirtation with the NFL is serious. 219 00:11:01,468 --> 00:11:03,828 Speaker 1: That said, Michigan could make this all go away if 220 00:11:03,828 --> 00:11:06,108 Speaker 1: they give Mede big money extension. But all of that 221 00:11:06,148 --> 00:11:07,748 Speaker 1: will play out. They'll be the the next couple of bars. 222 00:11:08,428 --> 00:11:11,428 Speaker 1: All Right. Patriot's Bills was really special. The Bills win 223 00:11:11,628 --> 00:11:15,228 Speaker 1: thirty five to twenty three on a very surreal, exciting day, 224 00:11:15,428 --> 00:11:18,828 Speaker 1: and afterwards, um, this is a the tissue alert. Josh 225 00:11:18,868 --> 00:11:21,908 Speaker 1: Allen on the kick return touchdown and can barely hold 226 00:11:21,908 --> 00:11:24,428 Speaker 1: it together. This is an incredible moment. You want the 227 00:11:24,428 --> 00:11:27,548 Speaker 1: true It was spiritual. It really was bone chilling like 228 00:11:28,028 --> 00:11:31,308 Speaker 1: it was. It was special. I can't remember a play 229 00:11:31,348 --> 00:11:33,308 Speaker 1: that touched me like that, and I don't think in 230 00:11:33,348 --> 00:11:37,308 Speaker 1: my life, so it's it's probably number one. It was. 231 00:11:37,388 --> 00:11:39,268 Speaker 1: It was just spiritual and I just I was going 232 00:11:39,308 --> 00:11:41,108 Speaker 1: around and just something I was going around. My team 233 00:11:41,148 --> 00:11:44,228 Speaker 1: is saying, God's real, Like you can't draw that one up, right, 234 00:11:44,308 --> 00:11:46,228 Speaker 1: that one up any better? And I was just told 235 00:11:46,268 --> 00:11:50,668 Speaker 1: by Kevin Kurrant. It's been three years and three months 236 00:11:50,668 --> 00:11:55,028 Speaker 1: since the last kickoff return, so pretty cool. That's an 237 00:11:55,028 --> 00:11:57,468 Speaker 1: amazing reality. That was really cool for Josh. I want 238 00:11:57,508 --> 00:11:59,428 Speaker 1: to bring that up and to phrase that that way. 239 00:11:59,868 --> 00:12:02,268 Speaker 1: Let's go back to Orchard Park. Mike Giardi was there 240 00:12:02,308 --> 00:12:05,428 Speaker 1: for us all week lass week, covering every thing surrounding 241 00:12:05,468 --> 00:12:07,708 Speaker 1: the team and what the Bills were going through as 242 00:12:07,708 --> 00:12:12,348 Speaker 1: their teammate was hospitalizing Cincinnati. Great vibes were coming out 243 00:12:12,348 --> 00:12:15,228 Speaker 1: of the weekend as the news of Damar Hamlin's bounce 244 00:12:15,268 --> 00:12:18,028 Speaker 1: back has been reported. Mike, what's the vibe around the 245 00:12:18,068 --> 00:12:21,388 Speaker 1: Bills facility this morning? Now? I mean, obviously they're very 246 00:12:21,388 --> 00:12:24,628 Speaker 1: happy to have done what they did yesterday. To do 247 00:12:24,668 --> 00:12:27,508 Speaker 1: it for Damar was very important for them. I got 248 00:12:27,508 --> 00:12:30,988 Speaker 1: a text from player coming into the facility yesterday before 249 00:12:31,028 --> 00:12:33,108 Speaker 1: the game and he said, we just wanted so badly. 250 00:12:33,308 --> 00:12:35,308 Speaker 1: And I'll be real in my head, I thought, is 251 00:12:35,308 --> 00:12:38,148 Speaker 1: there too much pressure here considering all they've been through 252 00:12:38,348 --> 00:12:40,828 Speaker 1: as a team and to deal with what Damars dealing 253 00:12:40,828 --> 00:12:43,468 Speaker 1: with and the preparation was cut short this week. They 254 00:12:43,468 --> 00:12:45,348 Speaker 1: didn't you know, they didn't have the full week. You 255 00:12:45,388 --> 00:12:47,668 Speaker 1: saw them at the podium on Thursday. They were physically 256 00:12:47,708 --> 00:12:51,148 Speaker 1: and mentally fried, and I know Damar's call to them 257 00:12:51,348 --> 00:12:54,148 Speaker 1: lifted them up, but it was late in the week 258 00:12:54,188 --> 00:12:56,188 Speaker 1: and I just said to myself, can they find enough 259 00:12:56,268 --> 00:12:59,948 Speaker 1: juice for sixty minutes? Well, they found the juice and 260 00:12:59,988 --> 00:13:03,228 Speaker 1: they drew so much inspiration from their fans. That relationship 261 00:13:03,228 --> 00:13:05,308 Speaker 1: we've talked about all the time, but to me, it 262 00:13:05,348 --> 00:13:07,788 Speaker 1: was one of those moments where the fans who often 263 00:13:07,828 --> 00:13:09,828 Speaker 1: looked to the Bills to pick them up, it was 264 00:13:09,988 --> 00:13:13,068 Speaker 1: the fans that did that for Buffalo in a couple 265 00:13:13,068 --> 00:13:15,188 Speaker 1: of those moments where the game got a little dicey. 266 00:13:15,228 --> 00:13:17,468 Speaker 1: I mean, it was fourteen fourteen, the Patriots were playing 267 00:13:17,468 --> 00:13:19,668 Speaker 1: pretty well. They didn't want to go away, So there 268 00:13:19,708 --> 00:13:22,508 Speaker 1: were those moments there where I think that relationship really 269 00:13:22,508 --> 00:13:26,748 Speaker 1: benefited the Buffalo Bills. And to see the stands, guys, 270 00:13:26,748 --> 00:13:30,028 Speaker 1: I mean signs everywhere, it just really was something special. 271 00:13:30,348 --> 00:13:33,268 Speaker 1: And I don't really recall in twenty plus years of 272 00:13:33,308 --> 00:13:36,988 Speaker 1: covering an NFL football game having an in game experience 273 00:13:37,028 --> 00:13:39,348 Speaker 1: like that. In the pregame being what it was, it 274 00:13:39,428 --> 00:13:42,708 Speaker 1: really was special. And then we still haven't gotten into 275 00:13:42,708 --> 00:13:44,868 Speaker 1: the locker room. They brought players out. The locker room 276 00:13:44,948 --> 00:13:47,628 Speaker 1: was closed yesterday, and I'm told there's still guys that 277 00:13:47,668 --> 00:13:49,388 Speaker 1: aren't ready to talk about that, and that's going to 278 00:13:49,468 --> 00:13:51,708 Speaker 1: continue to be a process for everyone. So I think 279 00:13:51,748 --> 00:13:53,588 Speaker 1: that's something that you kind of continue to have to 280 00:13:53,588 --> 00:13:55,828 Speaker 1: look forward to as the week goes on. As Mitch 281 00:13:55,868 --> 00:13:58,388 Speaker 1: Moore said, even though we won the game, the story 282 00:13:58,468 --> 00:14:01,348 Speaker 1: is not over. Guys are still unwinding and unpacking. And 283 00:14:01,388 --> 00:14:03,548 Speaker 1: as for you know, kind of looking ahead to the 284 00:14:03,588 --> 00:14:06,828 Speaker 1: game on Sunday one o'clock kickoff, Tah. We know it 285 00:14:06,948 --> 00:14:10,068 Speaker 1: was a tremendous game here just before Christmas. I'm told 286 00:14:10,068 --> 00:14:12,668 Speaker 1: by people in Miami who know to A too wants 287 00:14:12,708 --> 00:14:14,868 Speaker 1: to play, but as we heard from Mike McDaniel, he's 288 00:14:14,868 --> 00:14:17,068 Speaker 1: still in concussion protocol, so I don't I don't know 289 00:14:17,108 --> 00:14:18,908 Speaker 1: where that's at at this point. I don't know what 290 00:14:18,908 --> 00:14:21,548 Speaker 1: what stage of the concussion protocol he is, but I 291 00:14:21,948 --> 00:14:24,468 Speaker 1: know he wants to play, which really shouldn't surprise you. 292 00:14:24,508 --> 00:14:27,468 Speaker 1: He's a football player. He wants to play. So that'll 293 00:14:27,508 --> 00:14:31,308 Speaker 1: be interesting because there's a big difference between TWA and 294 00:14:31,508 --> 00:14:33,828 Speaker 1: whatever they decide to do a quarterback if he can't go, 295 00:14:33,908 --> 00:14:36,428 Speaker 1: and obviously it really would change short of the whole 296 00:14:37,188 --> 00:14:40,708 Speaker 1: context of the game and maybe really impact whether Miami 297 00:14:40,748 --> 00:14:42,868 Speaker 1: could come in here or not and get a victory. Yeah, Mike, 298 00:14:42,908 --> 00:14:44,908 Speaker 1: that's the simplest way to put it. Is there a 299 00:14:44,948 --> 00:14:47,068 Speaker 1: big difference between two a tongue of violet, a quarterback 300 00:14:47,068 --> 00:14:49,668 Speaker 1: and anybody else at the Dolphins could turn to. It's 301 00:14:49,668 --> 00:14:52,388 Speaker 1: a big topic ahead of that matchup, the third time 302 00:14:52,388 --> 00:14:54,788 Speaker 1: those two teams will play each other this season, Dolphins 303 00:14:54,788 --> 00:14:56,588 Speaker 1: travel to Buffalo. Mike Yard, You've been there all week. 304 00:14:56,628 --> 00:14:58,548 Speaker 1: We really appreciate everything that you give us. You got 305 00:14:58,548 --> 00:15:01,388 Speaker 1: the whole spectrum covered there, GARDI will check in with 306 00:15:01,428 --> 00:15:03,548 Speaker 1: you again from Archer Park. It's been quite the week 307 00:15:03,628 --> 00:15:06,268 Speaker 1: for the Bills. A lot of emotion, very heavy, but 308 00:15:06,348 --> 00:15:09,548 Speaker 1: then elation yesterday. What can we say? What is there 309 00:15:09,588 --> 00:15:11,988 Speaker 1: to say about the Bills getting a win, locking in 310 00:15:12,028 --> 00:15:15,228 Speaker 1: the two seed and looking ahead at a very hefty 311 00:15:15,308 --> 00:15:18,948 Speaker 1: month of January. What a football game for everything that 312 00:15:19,068 --> 00:15:21,868 Speaker 1: transpired for Buffalo this past week. And you turn that 313 00:15:21,948 --> 00:15:24,588 Speaker 1: game on and Hinz takes to open the kickoff return 314 00:15:24,988 --> 00:15:27,508 Speaker 1: back for a touchdown, and you saw the emotion throughout 315 00:15:27,548 --> 00:15:31,308 Speaker 1: the team the entire game. Guys scoring touchdowns and putting 316 00:15:31,388 --> 00:15:33,868 Speaker 1: up the heart, putting up the three fingers in they 317 00:15:33,868 --> 00:15:36,908 Speaker 1: were playing for Damar Hamlin, and you could tell how 318 00:15:36,988 --> 00:15:39,268 Speaker 1: much in mented in. And you can also see the 319 00:15:39,348 --> 00:15:42,148 Speaker 1: roller coast of emotions and the way in which the 320 00:15:42,268 --> 00:15:44,988 Speaker 1: game went. You see Josh Allen walking in the three 321 00:15:45,108 --> 00:15:48,468 Speaker 1: So many things out there were all about Damar Hamlin. 322 00:15:48,628 --> 00:15:50,428 Speaker 1: And you get to the game and you're watching it 323 00:15:50,468 --> 00:15:52,828 Speaker 1: and Buffalo didn't play their best game of the year. 324 00:15:53,028 --> 00:15:55,908 Speaker 1: The defense gives up three touchdown passes to Mac Jones, 325 00:15:56,028 --> 00:15:58,508 Speaker 1: but at the same time they get three interceptions, and 326 00:15:58,548 --> 00:16:00,548 Speaker 1: that was kind of the roller coaster of the day. 327 00:16:00,668 --> 00:16:04,268 Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills, Josh Allen throws an interception, Singletary fumbles, 328 00:16:04,468 --> 00:16:07,748 Speaker 1: but then he throws two forty yard bombs for touchdowns 329 00:16:07,988 --> 00:16:09,988 Speaker 1: on special teams. We talked about the hines he had 330 00:16:09,988 --> 00:16:13,508 Speaker 1: to kick off return touchdowns, but the Tawan Jones has 331 00:16:13,508 --> 00:16:15,628 Speaker 1: foot hit the ball and the Patriots get it. So 332 00:16:15,668 --> 00:16:17,948 Speaker 1: it was just so many different emotions the way the 333 00:16:17,988 --> 00:16:20,228 Speaker 1: game goals, and it's like when you don't really practice 334 00:16:20,268 --> 00:16:22,828 Speaker 1: all weekend, there's so many things in your mind distracted, 335 00:16:22,948 --> 00:16:25,548 Speaker 1: but still somehow it all aligned for them to win 336 00:16:25,628 --> 00:16:27,708 Speaker 1: that game. It was just it was awesome to see 337 00:16:27,948 --> 00:16:31,588 Speaker 1: what they just went through these last now seven days, 338 00:16:31,788 --> 00:16:33,908 Speaker 1: as this was last Monday night. I don't think any 339 00:16:33,908 --> 00:16:40,188 Speaker 1: team has been through a collective emotional traumatic then yesterday 340 00:16:40,308 --> 00:16:43,468 Speaker 1: just complete exuberance, like it's not even a roller coaster, 341 00:16:43,588 --> 00:16:46,468 Speaker 1: it's a whirlwind. It's a season's worth right there. And 342 00:16:46,548 --> 00:16:48,788 Speaker 1: now it's like, all right, we got another month of 343 00:16:48,828 --> 00:16:50,988 Speaker 1: football to go what they did yesterday, To put it 344 00:16:51,028 --> 00:16:54,228 Speaker 1: together like that and win that game, that was amazing, 345 00:16:54,348 --> 00:16:56,908 Speaker 1: and they compartmentalized and they were able to focus on football. 346 00:16:56,948 --> 00:16:59,428 Speaker 1: They were this journey that they're on right now. If 347 00:16:59,468 --> 00:17:02,188 Speaker 1: they can do this thing and finish the whole deal 348 00:17:02,228 --> 00:17:04,228 Speaker 1: and hoist at Lombardi, it might be the most trium 349 00:17:04,468 --> 00:17:07,388 Speaker 1: fint super Bowl team we have ever seen. And that's 350 00:17:07,428 --> 00:17:09,508 Speaker 1: this season, but also goes into last season how it ended. 351 00:17:09,628 --> 00:17:11,508 Speaker 1: It also goes into the nineties when they lost four 352 00:17:11,548 --> 00:17:13,028 Speaker 1: super Bowls in a row. Like I'm not being too 353 00:17:13,108 --> 00:17:15,468 Speaker 1: dramatic here. If this Bill's team finds a way to 354 00:17:15,468 --> 00:17:18,628 Speaker 1: hoist this Lombardi, there may be no greater super Bowl 355 00:17:18,668 --> 00:17:20,428 Speaker 1: story we've ever seen in Jamie, You're right, I don't 356 00:17:20,428 --> 00:17:22,068 Speaker 1: have how they have anything left in the tank. We 357 00:17:22,188 --> 00:17:24,468 Speaker 1: just did a television show last week, trying to cover 358 00:17:24,508 --> 00:17:28,628 Speaker 1: this thing emotionally, and and I'm on fumes now. Still 359 00:17:28,948 --> 00:17:30,828 Speaker 1: they've got to go another month to keep playing football. 360 00:17:31,148 --> 00:17:33,188 Speaker 1: And yet they did it yesterday. They can do it 361 00:17:33,828 --> 00:17:36,668 Speaker 1: coming up, Brack Purty Gino Smith, just like that. We 362 00:17:36,828 --> 00:17:41,068 Speaker 1: drew it up, Kyle brought up and then they like 363 00:17:41,108 --> 00:17:42,428 Speaker 1: to write it in the script and they like to 364 00:17:42,468 --> 00:17:44,908 Speaker 1: try to meet Kyle say it, and he won't. He refuses. 365 00:17:45,508 --> 00:17:47,388 Speaker 1: Battle in the bay. We're looking ahead. I like to 366 00:17:47,428 --> 00:18:03,028 Speaker 1: say that I'm him. Hey, we Rack on. Good morning. 367 00:18:03,028 --> 00:18:05,148 Speaker 1: Football news came out last night that the the Texans relieve 368 00:18:05,228 --> 00:18:08,348 Speaker 1: Lovey Smith of his head coaching duties after one season 369 00:18:08,428 --> 00:18:10,948 Speaker 1: in Houston. We're gonna get to our NFL Network insider 370 00:18:10,988 --> 00:18:14,388 Speaker 1: Tom Pellasero now with more news emerging from the NFL 371 00:18:14,428 --> 00:18:16,908 Speaker 1: out of Cleveland. We'll start there this morning, Tom. What's 372 00:18:16,908 --> 00:18:19,588 Speaker 1: going on with the Browns, Jimmie. The Browns have fired 373 00:18:19,628 --> 00:18:23,828 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Joe Woods. Actually happened last night, just hours 374 00:18:23,908 --> 00:18:26,548 Speaker 1: after a loss to the Steelers finished off a seven 375 00:18:26,628 --> 00:18:29,908 Speaker 1: and ten season for Cleveland. Now, obviously, the Browns had 376 00:18:30,108 --> 00:18:33,788 Speaker 1: a variety of challenges this season, including Deshaun Watson's eleven 377 00:18:33,828 --> 00:18:37,388 Speaker 1: game suspension, but a defense that it filled with talented 378 00:18:37,428 --> 00:18:41,228 Speaker 1: players just wasn't good enough now. Making this move with 379 00:18:41,308 --> 00:18:44,708 Speaker 1: Woods is also an indication to coach Kevin Stefanski, who's 380 00:18:44,748 --> 00:18:46,388 Speaker 1: known Woods for a long time, going back to their 381 00:18:46,428 --> 00:18:50,628 Speaker 1: days in Minnesota, is safe in Cleveland. Would not be surprised, though, 382 00:18:50,788 --> 00:18:55,828 Speaker 1: if Stefanski makes some additional staff changes elsewhere. In Los Angeles, 383 00:18:55,868 --> 00:18:58,748 Speaker 1: coach Sean McVay of the Rams intends to take some 384 00:18:58,828 --> 00:19:03,028 Speaker 1: time to evaluate his future after a highly disappointing five 385 00:19:03,068 --> 00:19:05,748 Speaker 1: and twelve season for the As, just one year after 386 00:19:06,188 --> 00:19:08,908 Speaker 1: they won the Super Bowl. There's all something McVeigh evaluated 387 00:19:09,188 --> 00:19:12,148 Speaker 1: last year when he had some TV opportunities. I've talked 388 00:19:12,148 --> 00:19:15,028 Speaker 1: to people within the organization who would be surprised if 389 00:19:15,028 --> 00:19:17,428 Speaker 1: he does not return. I've talked to other people who 390 00:19:17,468 --> 00:19:20,908 Speaker 1: know McVeigh who say, don't be surprised if he walks away. 391 00:19:20,948 --> 00:19:23,628 Speaker 1: At age thirty six. It is a lot for him, 392 00:19:23,668 --> 00:19:26,188 Speaker 1: two way out. I would not expect him to drag 393 00:19:26,268 --> 00:19:28,988 Speaker 1: this out. He wants to make a quick decision. And 394 00:19:29,108 --> 00:19:32,708 Speaker 1: in Arizona, the future of Cardinals coach Cliff Kingsbury is 395 00:19:32,868 --> 00:19:35,548 Speaker 1: up in the air. Owner Michael bidwill to spend time 396 00:19:35,628 --> 00:19:39,788 Speaker 1: in recent weeks evaluating candidates, doing his homework, also figuring 397 00:19:39,828 --> 00:19:42,948 Speaker 1: out how he would run a process if he moves 398 00:19:42,988 --> 00:19:46,668 Speaker 1: on from Kingsbury. The two are scheduled to meet at 399 00:19:46,708 --> 00:19:50,268 Speaker 1: some point this afternoon to talk about things. He had 400 00:19:50,308 --> 00:19:53,268 Speaker 1: just back in the spring, signed Kingsbury and general manager 401 00:19:53,308 --> 00:19:58,188 Speaker 1: Steve Kim and quarterback Kyler Murray all two lucrative contract extensions, 402 00:19:58,348 --> 00:20:00,708 Speaker 1: but not a lot has gone right since then. Cardinals 403 00:20:00,748 --> 00:20:03,948 Speaker 1: just finished off a four and thirteen season. Murray towards 404 00:20:03,948 --> 00:20:06,788 Speaker 1: a cl a meniscus last month. He probably will not 405 00:20:06,868 --> 00:20:09,308 Speaker 1: be ready for the start of the twenty twenty three season. 406 00:20:09,748 --> 00:20:14,068 Speaker 1: Come remains on an indefinite health related leave of absence. 407 00:20:14,348 --> 00:20:17,188 Speaker 1: He is not expected to return. We will see if 408 00:20:17,308 --> 00:20:21,188 Speaker 1: Kingsbury's back in twenty twenty three. Jamie. A fluid situation, 409 00:20:21,308 --> 00:20:23,068 Speaker 1: to say the least for a couple of those teams. 410 00:20:23,108 --> 00:20:25,468 Speaker 1: Tom Paula Sero, thank you very much. We're gonna still 411 00:20:25,468 --> 00:20:27,028 Speaker 1: go back to the top of this block. Houston. They 412 00:20:27,028 --> 00:20:29,748 Speaker 1: pulled off a crazy win after going for two with 413 00:20:29,908 --> 00:20:33,268 Speaker 1: just under a minute ago yesterday. That win, as happy 414 00:20:33,268 --> 00:20:36,268 Speaker 1: as it was, cost that team the number one overall 415 00:20:36,268 --> 00:20:38,708 Speaker 1: pick in the draft. People in Chicago were probably actively 416 00:20:38,788 --> 00:20:40,828 Speaker 1: cheering for a coach that they let go years ago, 417 00:20:40,988 --> 00:20:43,508 Speaker 1: very confusing. Levey Smith was then let go last night 418 00:20:43,548 --> 00:20:46,748 Speaker 1: by the Houston Texans. When we make of what happened 419 00:20:46,828 --> 00:20:49,708 Speaker 1: yesterday in Houston, Peter and the decision to play the 420 00:20:49,748 --> 00:20:51,948 Speaker 1: game that way, if you will, I'm gonna go into 421 00:20:51,988 --> 00:20:55,108 Speaker 1: the firing of Smith because that's two in a row. 422 00:20:55,188 --> 00:20:57,308 Speaker 1: Now you get two guys he hired for one year, 423 00:20:57,548 --> 00:21:00,068 Speaker 1: both veteran coaches. David Culley. Can you put this thing 424 00:21:00,108 --> 00:21:02,548 Speaker 1: together with a band aid? No? Fired, Lovey Smith, you're 425 00:21:02,588 --> 00:21:05,348 Speaker 1: the defensive coordina. We're gonna elevate you this the band aid. No, 426 00:21:05,828 --> 00:21:08,428 Speaker 1: Then you start wonder who wants this job. Here's the issue. 427 00:21:08,788 --> 00:21:11,628 Speaker 1: People will want this job. There is the second overall 428 00:21:11,628 --> 00:21:14,708 Speaker 1: pick right now that is in their hands. But you 429 00:21:14,828 --> 00:21:17,708 Speaker 1: also get the Cleveland first round pick from the Deshaun 430 00:21:17,748 --> 00:21:21,028 Speaker 1: Watson trade, so they have the twelfth overall picks. You 431 00:21:21,068 --> 00:21:23,588 Speaker 1: give the second and the twelfth. You also have Cleveland's 432 00:21:23,628 --> 00:21:26,508 Speaker 1: third round. They have eleven draft picks going into this thing. 433 00:21:26,588 --> 00:21:30,228 Speaker 1: So if you want a no pressure build from the bottom, 434 00:21:30,548 --> 00:21:33,588 Speaker 1: absolutely full run of the place, I feel like it's 435 00:21:33,588 --> 00:21:35,868 Speaker 1: got to be Houston as the job you want. So 436 00:21:36,068 --> 00:21:38,028 Speaker 1: you look at a Sean Payton, would that be something 437 00:21:38,028 --> 00:21:39,748 Speaker 1: of interest to him where he could just do whatever 438 00:21:39,828 --> 00:21:41,548 Speaker 1: he wants and bring whatever he wants and they have 439 00:21:41,588 --> 00:21:43,948 Speaker 1: the ammunition. Look at Jim Harball, you look at some 440 00:21:43,988 --> 00:21:46,548 Speaker 1: of these names, where these guys who might want to 441 00:21:46,588 --> 00:21:48,988 Speaker 1: not have to deal with all the expectations and just 442 00:21:49,028 --> 00:21:52,348 Speaker 1: can build their own thing. That's it. But what a mess, 443 00:21:52,348 --> 00:21:55,228 Speaker 1: what a mess this franchise is to have this. And 444 00:21:55,308 --> 00:21:56,828 Speaker 1: now the hope is that you could turn the page 445 00:21:56,868 --> 00:21:58,388 Speaker 1: and you can have some better days ahead with all 446 00:21:58,388 --> 00:22:00,388 Speaker 1: these draft picks. But I have no confidence they're gonna 447 00:22:00,388 --> 00:22:02,068 Speaker 1: get the higher right to happen. And if they did, 448 00:22:02,068 --> 00:22:04,268 Speaker 1: they didn't get those guys the time to actually prove it. Yeah, 449 00:22:04,508 --> 00:22:06,508 Speaker 1: definitely not the time. One year and out. And you 450 00:22:06,548 --> 00:22:08,828 Speaker 1: look at this game yesterday in regards to love he 451 00:22:08,868 --> 00:22:11,148 Speaker 1: Smiths is alright, did he know going into the game 452 00:22:11,188 --> 00:22:13,148 Speaker 1: that it was probably going to happen? He was gonna 453 00:22:13,148 --> 00:22:15,788 Speaker 1: be firing. It's just like, you know what, screw to Houston, Texas. 454 00:22:15,828 --> 00:22:17,828 Speaker 1: We're gonna go out here and win this game or 455 00:22:18,028 --> 00:22:19,868 Speaker 1: was it? Hey? You go into the game and it's 456 00:22:19,908 --> 00:22:22,068 Speaker 1: just like from a management standpoint, like hey, love you 457 00:22:22,148 --> 00:22:23,988 Speaker 1: like you have the guys compete, but to get to 458 00:22:24,028 --> 00:22:26,028 Speaker 1: the end, you know, like let's keep that one pick. 459 00:22:26,108 --> 00:22:27,468 Speaker 1: And it was just like, no, you know what, I'm 460 00:22:27,468 --> 00:22:29,628 Speaker 1: gonna win this game. And did they come in after 461 00:22:29,668 --> 00:22:31,188 Speaker 1: and say love it. You can't do that, Like we 462 00:22:31,268 --> 00:22:33,948 Speaker 1: just lost our number one. But I think to your point, 463 00:22:34,268 --> 00:22:37,388 Speaker 1: two years in a row, you fire a coach and yes, 464 00:22:37,428 --> 00:22:39,268 Speaker 1: the job is still attractive. But it's like, at the 465 00:22:39,308 --> 00:22:41,628 Speaker 1: same time, Houston has kind of been a mess over 466 00:22:41,668 --> 00:22:43,908 Speaker 1: the last few years. There's so many different rumors and 467 00:22:43,988 --> 00:22:46,868 Speaker 1: things going on, and now you walk into an organization 468 00:22:47,228 --> 00:22:49,948 Speaker 1: with players that are kind of scarred from what's transpired 469 00:22:49,988 --> 00:22:52,708 Speaker 1: over the last few years, and you're trying to install 470 00:22:52,828 --> 00:22:54,628 Speaker 1: this new culture and bring it up and raise it 471 00:22:54,628 --> 00:22:59,148 Speaker 1: from the dead. Just so much going on, Like an 472 00:22:59,148 --> 00:23:02,868 Speaker 1: expansion team almost for sure, attractive, yes, but kind of 473 00:23:02,868 --> 00:23:05,828 Speaker 1: scary at the same time. Some teams get the number 474 00:23:05,828 --> 00:23:10,468 Speaker 1: one overall pick, though, that's the problem, massive organizational failure. Yesterday, 475 00:23:10,548 --> 00:23:12,468 Speaker 1: you can't win that game. You cannot win that game. 476 00:23:12,628 --> 00:23:14,508 Speaker 1: This is how teams stay bad. It's not that they 477 00:23:14,508 --> 00:23:16,948 Speaker 1: don't have good players, they don't have good coaches. They do. 478 00:23:17,228 --> 00:23:19,868 Speaker 1: It's the little things. It's the little bad decision that 479 00:23:19,948 --> 00:23:22,668 Speaker 1: screws you here, here, and here. I don't blame the players, 480 00:23:22,748 --> 00:23:25,268 Speaker 1: of course not. I don't blame Lovey Smith. Someone has 481 00:23:25,308 --> 00:23:28,108 Speaker 1: to intervene and going into we're running a business here. 482 00:23:28,228 --> 00:23:30,148 Speaker 1: This is not about beating the crappy Colts at the 483 00:23:30,228 --> 00:23:32,388 Speaker 1: end of the season when our own fans don't want 484 00:23:32,428 --> 00:23:34,588 Speaker 1: us to win the game. There are ways you say, 485 00:23:34,628 --> 00:23:36,148 Speaker 1: you know, we'd really like to see what we get 486 00:23:36,148 --> 00:23:37,668 Speaker 1: from Jeff Driscoll at the end of the season. We 487 00:23:37,708 --> 00:23:39,028 Speaker 1: like him as a young player, we'd like to see 488 00:23:39,068 --> 00:23:41,148 Speaker 1: him out there. And if the coach the week leading 489 00:23:41,188 --> 00:23:42,868 Speaker 1: up says I'm not doing that, if I fire him 490 00:23:42,948 --> 00:23:44,868 Speaker 1: and you say you're going early, we have to lose 491 00:23:44,948 --> 00:23:47,868 Speaker 1: this game now because they won in a game that 492 00:23:47,908 --> 00:23:51,028 Speaker 1: their own fans wanted them to lose. Now, you go 493 00:23:51,068 --> 00:23:52,828 Speaker 1: into the draft and you get one of two choices. 494 00:23:52,868 --> 00:23:55,788 Speaker 1: You either get your second favorite player as you start 495 00:23:55,868 --> 00:24:00,148 Speaker 1: yet another rebuild, or you trade everything not nailed down 496 00:24:00,268 --> 00:24:02,748 Speaker 1: up to the Bears to get your favorite player, when 497 00:24:02,788 --> 00:24:05,228 Speaker 1: really what you had to do is throw one incomplete 498 00:24:05,268 --> 00:24:07,908 Speaker 1: pass instead of convert the two point conversion, or start 499 00:24:07,908 --> 00:24:10,308 Speaker 1: the backup quarterback. This is how Texans state Texans. You 500 00:24:10,348 --> 00:24:12,788 Speaker 1: can't win that game. Guys, there's no moral Victorian. Good 501 00:24:12,788 --> 00:24:14,868 Speaker 1: for you, Good for you. You never stopped competing. You're 502 00:24:14,868 --> 00:24:17,908 Speaker 1: supposed to start competing because you're running a business. There's 503 00:24:17,948 --> 00:24:20,348 Speaker 1: no value. No one gives a crap in your fan 504 00:24:20,388 --> 00:24:22,348 Speaker 1: base or anywhere that you beat the cult and you 505 00:24:22,428 --> 00:24:25,108 Speaker 1: never quit. They're actually mad about it. Go look, I 506 00:24:25,148 --> 00:24:26,988 Speaker 1: think they blew it yesterday. I cannot believe they won 507 00:24:27,028 --> 00:24:29,268 Speaker 1: that game. I'm mad about it. All right. Here's what 508 00:24:29,268 --> 00:24:32,068 Speaker 1: you're looking at this weekend for a Super Wildcard. We 509 00:24:32,228 --> 00:24:35,028 Speaker 1: get half the teams that are in the playoffs this year. 510 00:24:35,228 --> 00:24:39,508 Speaker 1: We're not in the postseason last year. Giant Spiking, Seahawks, Jags, Dolphins, Ravens, Charterers. 511 00:24:39,548 --> 00:24:44,508 Speaker 1: Those are your new entrants into the postseason. Packers nowhere 512 00:24:44,548 --> 00:24:47,068 Speaker 1: to be found. So you've heard Aaron Rodgers after the game, 513 00:24:47,628 --> 00:24:50,308 Speaker 1: after that gut wrenching loss, that they had control over. 514 00:24:50,508 --> 00:24:52,668 Speaker 1: Once they saw that Seahawks game go final, that was it. 515 00:24:52,748 --> 00:24:54,228 Speaker 1: They could have done it. When we make it the 516 00:24:54,228 --> 00:24:57,068 Speaker 1: Packers now and the fact that their season is over, Peter, 517 00:24:57,228 --> 00:24:58,988 Speaker 1: we allowed you to kick off the show. You went 518 00:24:59,028 --> 00:25:01,508 Speaker 1: Lions yeah, we are forcing you to go pack Yeah. Look, 519 00:25:01,588 --> 00:25:03,148 Speaker 1: this is a team that was four and eight and 520 00:25:03,228 --> 00:25:05,108 Speaker 1: routed off a few wins, and they did the whole 521 00:25:05,228 --> 00:25:06,988 Speaker 1: don't let them get in the tournament, don't let them 522 00:25:07,028 --> 00:25:09,628 Speaker 1: get hot. And they had a essentially a win and 523 00:25:09,708 --> 00:25:12,548 Speaker 1: in playoff game against a team that had already been 524 00:25:12,588 --> 00:25:16,068 Speaker 1: eliminated in their building on Sunday night with all the fixings, 525 00:25:16,308 --> 00:25:19,508 Speaker 1: and they lost. Huge disappointment for the Green Bay Packers 526 00:25:19,508 --> 00:25:21,508 Speaker 1: this season. Do we give him some credit for turning 527 00:25:21,588 --> 00:25:25,268 Speaker 1: in a round early? Eight and nine is a season 528 00:25:25,348 --> 00:25:28,228 Speaker 1: You don't have the sixteen points in this game? You 529 00:25:28,228 --> 00:25:29,668 Speaker 1: asked me, you know you could say out Denver was 530 00:25:29,708 --> 00:25:32,148 Speaker 1: the most disappointing team. Denver stunk for years. Now, Denver 531 00:25:32,148 --> 00:25:34,628 Speaker 1: wasn't disappointing. The Rams with the most disappointed Rams were 532 00:25:34,668 --> 00:25:37,108 Speaker 1: riddled with injured Raiders. The Raiders, well, I don't know, 533 00:25:37,148 --> 00:25:41,148 Speaker 1: I've never seen the Raiders team. This Packers team brought 534 00:25:41,268 --> 00:25:44,148 Speaker 1: back just about everybody but Davante Adams and were pretty 535 00:25:44,188 --> 00:25:46,388 Speaker 1: confident that they were gonna be okay without them. I 536 00:25:46,388 --> 00:25:48,628 Speaker 1: mean pretty much said we're gonna be all right. They 537 00:25:48,628 --> 00:25:50,748 Speaker 1: didn't draft a receiver in the first round. They said, 538 00:25:50,748 --> 00:25:53,188 Speaker 1: they went two defensive players. They've relied on Watson, who 539 00:25:53,188 --> 00:25:55,388 Speaker 1: eventually came through. I look at this season as a 540 00:25:55,428 --> 00:25:58,868 Speaker 1: great disappointment. Eight and nine and you got Aaron Rodgers, 541 00:25:58,868 --> 00:26:01,348 Speaker 1: a defending MVP, and you got all those first round 542 00:26:01,348 --> 00:26:04,028 Speaker 1: picks on defense, and you beat the Vikings in Week 543 00:26:04,108 --> 00:26:06,628 Speaker 1: seven team last year at this time they lost in 544 00:26:06,708 --> 00:26:09,148 Speaker 1: shocking fashion to the forty nine Ers, and we sat 545 00:26:09,188 --> 00:26:11,308 Speaker 1: here Crest following like I can't believe it. And what's 546 00:26:11,388 --> 00:26:13,908 Speaker 1: Rogers gonna do in this conver situation? They're an eight 547 00:26:13,948 --> 00:26:16,188 Speaker 1: and nineteen. They let everyone in the playoffs these days, 548 00:26:16,268 --> 00:26:19,428 Speaker 1: and fourteen teams go. They weren't. We weren't one of them. Like, 549 00:26:19,828 --> 00:26:21,468 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know if I need to 550 00:26:21,468 --> 00:26:23,988 Speaker 1: be doing the flips over the Rogers story yet. I 551 00:26:24,028 --> 00:26:26,668 Speaker 1: just there's fourteen teams playing in the playoffs right now, 552 00:26:26,708 --> 00:26:29,348 Speaker 1: and Rogers and the Packers did not deserve to be there. 553 00:26:29,388 --> 00:26:31,988 Speaker 1: Look at some of the quarterbacks in the NFC playoffs yet, 554 00:26:32,108 --> 00:26:34,868 Speaker 1: Party and Daniel Jones and Kirk Cousins and like Geno 555 00:26:34,908 --> 00:26:38,268 Speaker 1: Smith and Jared Goffer's outplayed at Aaron Rodgers tenfold in 556 00:26:38,628 --> 00:26:41,028 Speaker 1: Lambeau in a game that he had nothing for his 557 00:26:41,068 --> 00:26:42,788 Speaker 1: team to play further than Pride. We also out played 558 00:26:42,828 --> 00:26:44,668 Speaker 1: him for two months, you know, I mean this was 559 00:26:44,708 --> 00:26:47,748 Speaker 1: not an outline there. Yeah, huge disappointment. I think to 560 00:26:47,788 --> 00:26:51,468 Speaker 1: your point, you just mentioned Davante Adams Leaves and two 561 00:26:51,508 --> 00:26:54,268 Speaker 1: first round draft picks, and they're like, we're fine, Alan 562 00:26:54,348 --> 00:26:57,068 Speaker 1: Lazard on the outside, we have Randall Cobb and they 563 00:26:57,108 --> 00:26:58,988 Speaker 1: don't draft the receiver in that first round, and they 564 00:26:59,068 --> 00:27:02,028 Speaker 1: draft two defensive guys out of Georgia. And last night 565 00:27:02,068 --> 00:27:04,988 Speaker 1: we see those two defensive guys, Quay Wall or his 566 00:27:05,108 --> 00:27:07,268 Speaker 1: altercation or whatever you want to call it, with a 567 00:27:07,348 --> 00:27:10,548 Speaker 1: trainer from the Detroit Lions, and you're looking at display 568 00:27:10,628 --> 00:27:13,388 Speaker 1: and it's just like, what the hell is going on? 569 00:27:13,748 --> 00:27:16,188 Speaker 1: Like there's somebody down on the field, and yes, I 570 00:27:16,268 --> 00:27:19,028 Speaker 1: see the Lions trainer comes, but then not only that, 571 00:27:19,148 --> 00:27:21,868 Speaker 1: Devantae Wyatt comes over and gives a trainer and shove 572 00:27:22,228 --> 00:27:24,828 Speaker 1: as well to back up his guy from college. But 573 00:27:24,868 --> 00:27:27,428 Speaker 1: it's just like Villa's like, what are we doing? The 574 00:27:27,508 --> 00:27:29,748 Speaker 1: Detroit Lions are on the other side, and of all 575 00:27:29,788 --> 00:27:33,228 Speaker 1: weeks you're pushing trainers, like what are we doing? There's 576 00:27:33,228 --> 00:27:35,228 Speaker 1: another team out there. Take it out on them if 577 00:27:35,268 --> 00:27:38,308 Speaker 1: you're mad, if you're frustrated. Then we see Walker walking 578 00:27:38,308 --> 00:27:40,708 Speaker 1: into the tunnel. Obviously he's disappointed, but it's just like 579 00:27:41,548 --> 00:27:43,868 Speaker 1: you went through this, this happened to you before, Like, 580 00:27:44,348 --> 00:27:46,828 Speaker 1: don't do it again. I understand the frustrations after, but 581 00:27:47,148 --> 00:27:49,428 Speaker 1: you can control this, control your emotions, go out there 582 00:27:49,428 --> 00:27:51,428 Speaker 1: and win the game. So for the Packers, you look 583 00:27:51,428 --> 00:27:54,388 Speaker 1: at their entire season and the disappointment that has been 584 00:27:54,428 --> 00:27:56,308 Speaker 1: the way they finish all of that. But then they 585 00:27:56,428 --> 00:27:59,508 Speaker 1: have two of your rookies to do something undisciplined like 586 00:27:59,548 --> 00:28:01,988 Speaker 1: that at that juncture in the game in the fourth quarter, 587 00:28:02,228 --> 00:28:05,188 Speaker 1: when you're playing for your entire season. For la floor 588 00:28:05,308 --> 00:28:07,628 Speaker 1: is just like what am I doing here? I was like, hey, coach, 589 00:28:07,748 --> 00:28:10,668 Speaker 1: if we think that disbehavior is okay in such a 590 00:28:10,828 --> 00:28:13,588 Speaker 1: huge game and the last game of the season, and 591 00:28:13,708 --> 00:28:15,548 Speaker 1: now we're packing up, we're getting ready to go on 592 00:28:15,628 --> 00:28:17,588 Speaker 1: vacation and as that, and we don't know what a 593 00:28:17,668 --> 00:28:19,788 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame quarterback is going to do for another 594 00:28:19,828 --> 00:28:23,148 Speaker 1: all seasons, it was the weirdest season ever. In my takeaways, 595 00:28:22,828 --> 00:28:26,628 Speaker 1: it never really worked, certainly offensively. When they went on 596 00:28:26,668 --> 00:28:29,628 Speaker 1: this little run. The defense started getting crazy turnours from 597 00:28:29,628 --> 00:28:31,948 Speaker 1: takeaways and they were rallying on that in this last 598 00:28:31,948 --> 00:28:34,188 Speaker 1: game and scored sixteen points and Rogers kind of did 599 00:28:34,228 --> 00:28:35,948 Speaker 1: what he did this year, which is a one pick 600 00:28:36,028 --> 00:28:38,308 Speaker 1: one touchdown a few yards here and there. But it 601 00:28:38,348 --> 00:28:40,228 Speaker 1: was just the weirdest season ever, because you want to 602 00:28:40,268 --> 00:28:42,948 Speaker 1: talk about two rookies doing something inexplicable and a winning 603 00:28:42,948 --> 00:28:44,868 Speaker 1: in game. Can we talk about a sixty year guy 604 00:28:44,868 --> 00:28:48,228 Speaker 1: in Russell Douglas? What was this? At the end of 605 00:28:48,228 --> 00:28:50,868 Speaker 1: the first half, the lines are gonna kick a field 606 00:28:50,868 --> 00:28:54,108 Speaker 1: goal and he walks in there and swats and blocks 607 00:28:54,148 --> 00:28:57,348 Speaker 1: the ball and then he punches the guy in the 608 00:28:57,388 --> 00:29:00,588 Speaker 1: face and gets a fifteen yard penalty and badgery for 609 00:29:00,588 --> 00:29:02,388 Speaker 1: the Lions. Kicker had missed his last kick from the 610 00:29:02,388 --> 00:29:05,308 Speaker 1: same distance. Scene moved about fifteen yards and trying to 611 00:29:05,308 --> 00:29:07,068 Speaker 1: explain what the hell this was going on and that 612 00:29:07,108 --> 00:29:09,228 Speaker 1: the Packers were gonna call it time out. So he 613 00:29:09,268 --> 00:29:13,388 Speaker 1: walks in the trench and again it's the announcers saying, 614 00:29:13,388 --> 00:29:15,588 Speaker 1: I've never seen this, puts his hand down, blocks it, 615 00:29:15,588 --> 00:29:17,468 Speaker 1: and then when someone nudges him, he punches against a 616 00:29:17,508 --> 00:29:19,268 Speaker 1: fifteen yard or the Lions make the field goal. All 617 00:29:19,308 --> 00:29:22,188 Speaker 1: the adjust all the momentum shifts, I think what it 618 00:29:22,348 --> 00:29:24,588 Speaker 1: was was like sometimes you know when a player is 619 00:29:24,628 --> 00:29:26,188 Speaker 1: fouled in the NBA and he'll just take like a 620 00:29:26,228 --> 00:29:28,908 Speaker 1: shot from three just and kemer Gonnet would jump up 621 00:29:28,908 --> 00:29:31,868 Speaker 1: and block it. I think that's what Russell Douglas was 622 00:29:31,908 --> 00:29:33,588 Speaker 1: doing that, like, I'm not gonna give you a free 623 00:29:33,668 --> 00:29:36,108 Speaker 1: kick at this so I'm gonna walk in between all 624 00:29:36,108 --> 00:29:38,188 Speaker 1: the lineman and block the snap. But then one of 625 00:29:38,188 --> 00:29:39,508 Speaker 1: the lions is like, what are you doing, get out 626 00:29:39,508 --> 00:29:41,188 Speaker 1: of here, and he just punches over the face. At 627 00:29:41,188 --> 00:29:43,308 Speaker 1: the end of the first half. Not a rookie, it's 628 00:29:43,388 --> 00:29:46,268 Speaker 1: like a sixth year guy who's been around and shore enough. 629 00:29:46,308 --> 00:29:48,068 Speaker 1: Baduley makes the field goal and the lines feel good 630 00:29:48,068 --> 00:29:50,348 Speaker 1: about them going too the half. So the first play 631 00:29:50,388 --> 00:29:53,588 Speaker 1: of the season was Watson dropping the pass, and now 632 00:29:53,628 --> 00:29:56,228 Speaker 1: in the last game we're getting an injection of bizarre 633 00:29:56,508 --> 00:29:59,468 Speaker 1: Kevin Garnett blocked the field goal kick. Strange team and 634 00:29:59,588 --> 00:30:01,828 Speaker 1: never worked. I got caught up in the culti personality 635 00:30:01,828 --> 00:30:03,628 Speaker 1: of Rogers. I thought they were getting into the club. 636 00:30:03,948 --> 00:30:06,348 Speaker 1: They were getting in the club. The offense never came together, 637 00:30:06,388 --> 00:30:08,388 Speaker 1: and now we're into Lala Land and Rodgers is going 638 00:30:08,428 --> 00:30:10,588 Speaker 1: to be at some rainforest on Instagram any second now, 639 00:30:10,628 --> 00:30:12,428 Speaker 1: who the hell knows? Yeah, I think you said that 640 00:30:12,468 --> 00:30:15,228 Speaker 1: this is your favorite Aaron Rodgers character loved that you've 641 00:30:15,268 --> 00:30:18,148 Speaker 1: you've really bought into rainforests, staring I'm into it. I 642 00:30:18,188 --> 00:30:20,028 Speaker 1: don't think there's a worse place for football team to 643 00:30:20,028 --> 00:30:22,908 Speaker 1: be than like identity purgatory. Like the teams that were 644 00:30:22,948 --> 00:30:25,188 Speaker 1: really confused about this season are the ones that we 645 00:30:25,268 --> 00:30:28,428 Speaker 1: didn't really have an answer to in August in October, 646 00:30:28,548 --> 00:30:30,788 Speaker 1: maybe some of them shareed to show us like a 647 00:30:30,908 --> 00:30:33,108 Speaker 1: reason why, like oh, okay, this is the direction that 648 00:30:33,148 --> 00:30:35,068 Speaker 1: this team goes in. The Packers flirted with us a 649 00:30:35,108 --> 00:30:37,268 Speaker 1: little bit mid season, but they never really panned out. 650 00:30:37,308 --> 00:30:40,788 Speaker 1: We thought, oh okay, good at we investing defensively? No, no, no, 651 00:30:41,188 --> 00:30:42,948 Speaker 1: the wide receiver figured out? Are we looking at Matt 652 00:30:42,988 --> 00:30:45,668 Speaker 1: Lafloor this morning, Peter, Like, is this like a chicken 653 00:30:45,748 --> 00:30:47,828 Speaker 1: or the egg thing? Like do they both come back? 654 00:30:47,948 --> 00:30:50,308 Speaker 1: Because I know in the middle of the season, Kyle, 655 00:30:50,348 --> 00:30:52,348 Speaker 1: we were talking about like Aaron Rodgers is out there, 656 00:30:52,468 --> 00:30:54,908 Speaker 1: he's at his press conference, he's saying things, but what 657 00:30:55,068 --> 00:30:57,628 Speaker 1: was he really saying? And where is Matt Laflour What 658 00:30:58,348 --> 00:31:01,188 Speaker 1: is he not saying? Are they having conversations. Does this 659 00:31:01,228 --> 00:31:04,148 Speaker 1: just keep going on between the two of them? Is 660 00:31:04,188 --> 00:31:06,948 Speaker 1: it really that good? What's the identity of this team? 661 00:31:07,228 --> 00:31:09,468 Speaker 1: The Packers buy into the little floor direction or do 662 00:31:09,508 --> 00:31:12,548 Speaker 1: they buy into the Rodgers direction? How long do those directions? 663 00:31:12,548 --> 00:31:15,508 Speaker 1: How long are both of those roads? Peter is? Is 664 00:31:15,548 --> 00:31:18,428 Speaker 1: that a crazy thing? A lot of Packers fans are like, 665 00:31:19,068 --> 00:31:20,828 Speaker 1: anyone can do what La flour is doing right now, 666 00:31:20,868 --> 00:31:22,908 Speaker 1: go eight and nine and just like and then a 667 00:31:22,948 --> 00:31:25,148 Speaker 1: lot of people think that they just let Rogers do 668 00:31:25,148 --> 00:31:27,388 Speaker 1: what he does and runs runs rampant with whatever he 669 00:31:27,388 --> 00:31:30,268 Speaker 1: says and puts his team through this eight and nineteen. 670 00:31:30,388 --> 00:31:32,548 Speaker 1: You're right, any coach who missed the playoffs this subject 671 00:31:32,548 --> 00:31:34,508 Speaker 1: to criticism. I don't think they're gonna fire him, but 672 00:31:34,628 --> 00:31:35,948 Speaker 1: I mean I would ask you, guys, what's a more 673 00:31:35,988 --> 00:31:38,148 Speaker 1: disappointing ends of the season that last night or when 674 00:31:38,188 --> 00:31:40,428 Speaker 1: you're the number one seed and the Niners come in 675 00:31:40,668 --> 00:31:42,908 Speaker 1: and block kicks and shock you in your building, When 676 00:31:42,908 --> 00:31:44,388 Speaker 1: you're the number one scene and you're supposed to win 677 00:31:44,428 --> 00:31:46,508 Speaker 1: the thing, it's being the number one seed. This team 678 00:31:46,548 --> 00:31:49,308 Speaker 1: was never good. They got hot a little bit defensively 679 00:31:49,388 --> 00:31:52,228 Speaker 1: for a month. But we've seen some prolific Aaron Rodgers 680 00:31:52,268 --> 00:31:53,628 Speaker 1: Packers team that we think is going to skate to 681 00:31:53,628 --> 00:31:54,828 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and they go one and done. It's 682 00:31:54,868 --> 00:31:58,028 Speaker 1: that coming up. The Eagles clinched the one seed in 683 00:31:58,028 --> 00:32:01,308 Speaker 1: the NFC. It felt dicey for a second to but 684 00:32:01,428 --> 00:32:03,068 Speaker 1: the Eagles are there. They locked it up. Is it 685 00:32:03,188 --> 00:32:07,948 Speaker 1: super Bowl or bust in Philadelphia plus best in the 686 00:32:08,068 --> 00:32:10,868 Speaker 1: NFC to the best the AFC? Which other tricks will 687 00:32:10,868 --> 00:32:13,228 Speaker 1: the Chiefs pull out? Jason mccordy thought that was disrespectful 688 00:32:13,228 --> 00:32:15,468 Speaker 1: to do that. Hallis been Jason, Yeah, do we really 689 00:32:15,508 --> 00:32:17,468 Speaker 1: need to do no ring around the roles? He just 690 00:32:17,508 --> 00:32:19,268 Speaker 1: lined up even if you want to rush to the line, 691 00:32:19,468 --> 00:32:35,788 Speaker 1: that's true. All Right, here, we're gonna run a play. 692 00:32:35,788 --> 00:32:37,868 Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about how the Chiefs officially locked themselves 693 00:32:37,868 --> 00:32:39,388 Speaker 1: into the one seat. All right, the Chiefs are heading 694 00:32:39,388 --> 00:32:42,148 Speaker 1: into the postseason. Now, can they do anything wrong at 695 00:32:42,188 --> 00:32:45,108 Speaker 1: this point? Kyle, Like, how did they even run that play? No, 696 00:32:45,388 --> 00:32:47,868 Speaker 1: they're actually giving themselves a handicap of being dizzy against 697 00:32:47,868 --> 00:32:49,828 Speaker 1: the Raiders and they still ran it. Yeah. I would 698 00:32:49,908 --> 00:32:52,388 Speaker 1: take a second and just say the Chiefs are here, 699 00:32:52,588 --> 00:32:55,868 Speaker 1: They're the one seed in the AFC. DeVante Adams showed up, 700 00:32:56,028 --> 00:32:59,228 Speaker 1: Chandler Jones showed up, Russell Wilson showed up the Chargers. 701 00:32:59,268 --> 00:33:01,348 Speaker 1: That doesn't matter, it doesn't I just think we need 702 00:33:01,388 --> 00:33:03,548 Speaker 1: to take one second before we launched into this playoff 703 00:33:03,588 --> 00:33:06,068 Speaker 1: thing that she's still the Chiefs. They're here. I have 704 00:33:06,188 --> 00:33:08,948 Speaker 1: this sort of like playfully adversarial relationship with Chiefs fans 705 00:33:08,948 --> 00:33:10,868 Speaker 1: where I bust their chop and they bust mine. Guy's 706 00:33:10,908 --> 00:33:13,468 Speaker 1: full respect, it's an unbelievable thing that you did. You're 707 00:33:13,508 --> 00:33:16,388 Speaker 1: literally in Week eighteen doing children's games against the Raiders. 708 00:33:16,388 --> 00:33:18,188 Speaker 1: That's how much you're laughing at what this division was 709 00:33:18,228 --> 00:33:20,708 Speaker 1: supposed to become. Everyone who said it would be, including me, 710 00:33:20,828 --> 00:33:22,828 Speaker 1: was wrong. It's the Chiefs. It's the Chiefs. It's the Chiefs. 711 00:33:22,868 --> 00:33:25,668 Speaker 1: It's incredible. Yeah, And it's like it's not just the 712 00:33:25,708 --> 00:33:28,508 Speaker 1: same old chefs. I think they're different. You lose Tyreek 713 00:33:28,548 --> 00:33:31,308 Speaker 1: Kill this offseason, you have to find ways to kind 714 00:33:31,308 --> 00:33:33,108 Speaker 1: of address it. And I thought they were throwing deep 715 00:33:33,148 --> 00:33:35,068 Speaker 1: balls to Justin Watson and they were trying to get 716 00:33:35,068 --> 00:33:37,548 Speaker 1: other guys involved. But the running backs have been huge. 717 00:33:37,668 --> 00:33:41,308 Speaker 1: Jerick McKinnon had a huge regular season. You look at 718 00:33:41,348 --> 00:33:47,068 Speaker 1: the leaders in receiving touchdowns. He's he's got nine receiving touchdowns, 719 00:33:47,068 --> 00:33:50,028 Speaker 1: way more than anyone else in the league catches, and 720 00:33:50,028 --> 00:33:51,788 Speaker 1: he has more than him. It's incredible. And then it's 721 00:33:51,788 --> 00:33:54,268 Speaker 1: not just McKinnon. Pacheco. We love him here on the show. 722 00:33:54,268 --> 00:33:56,588 Speaker 1: He's a Rutgers guy, Jersey guy. We talked about him 723 00:33:56,628 --> 00:33:59,708 Speaker 1: all summer. Pachenko comes out. We had an eight hundred 724 00:33:59,708 --> 00:34:02,708 Speaker 1: and thirty yards season. That's the most ever by a 725 00:34:02,788 --> 00:34:07,228 Speaker 1: Chiefs since twenty seventeen. Pacheco seventh round pick out of Rutgers. 726 00:34:07,548 --> 00:34:11,148 Speaker 1: They have a backfield, they have different weapons, they are 727 00:34:11,348 --> 00:34:14,588 Speaker 1: hard to solve, and they haven't lost in forever. I 728 00:34:14,628 --> 00:34:16,468 Speaker 1: think the Chiefs are legit, and to your point, we 729 00:34:16,548 --> 00:34:18,868 Speaker 1: try talking about all the other shiny objects. Sometimes we 730 00:34:18,988 --> 00:34:20,748 Speaker 1: take for granted just how good they are, no doubt 731 00:34:20,748 --> 00:34:22,708 Speaker 1: about them. We talked about the snow globe. You guys 732 00:34:22,708 --> 00:34:24,708 Speaker 1: are hitting on the offense and how well they've played 733 00:34:25,268 --> 00:34:27,948 Speaker 1: Chris Jones. Is anybody watching this guy on the defensive 734 00:34:27,988 --> 00:34:31,428 Speaker 1: side of the ball, an interior linement fifteen and a 735 00:34:31,468 --> 00:34:36,028 Speaker 1: half sex. He was dominant on Saturday, ten pressures all 736 00:34:36,068 --> 00:34:39,428 Speaker 1: after the quarterback and their defense has been really good. 737 00:34:39,628 --> 00:34:42,148 Speaker 1: These guys have stepped up and have risen to the 738 00:34:42,228 --> 00:34:45,388 Speaker 1: occasion every single time they've been out there. So when 739 00:34:45,388 --> 00:34:47,508 Speaker 1: you look at this Kansas City Chiefs team, yes it 740 00:34:47,588 --> 00:34:50,868 Speaker 1: is Mahomes, and it is Travis Kelsey and now Pacheco 741 00:34:51,068 --> 00:34:53,508 Speaker 1: and all of these guys who are making plays each 742 00:34:53,548 --> 00:34:56,508 Speaker 1: and every Sunday, the fascinating plays that they come up with. 743 00:34:56,748 --> 00:34:59,228 Speaker 1: But the defense has still been able to hold up 744 00:34:59,228 --> 00:35:00,708 Speaker 1: their end of the bargain. And a lot of it 745 00:35:00,748 --> 00:35:02,948 Speaker 1: has to do with Chris Jones and the way he 746 00:35:03,028 --> 00:35:05,348 Speaker 1: plays and the way he just dominates up front. I 747 00:35:05,348 --> 00:35:08,188 Speaker 1: decided after watching the game, I'm gonna file statistical paperwork 748 00:35:08,228 --> 00:35:10,668 Speaker 1: to just for the Chiefs change their red zone to 749 00:35:10,708 --> 00:35:12,908 Speaker 1: the fifty yard line, because it feels like every time 750 00:35:12,948 --> 00:35:15,708 Speaker 1: they get onto that side of the field, the closer 751 00:35:15,748 --> 00:35:18,268 Speaker 1: they get to the end zone, it's happening, you guys. 752 00:35:18,308 --> 00:35:19,988 Speaker 1: It's like when I get to the end of the line, 753 00:35:19,988 --> 00:35:22,988 Speaker 1: it's taco placed. You won't wacamole? Yes, Like when I 754 00:35:23,068 --> 00:35:25,228 Speaker 1: get to on the plane, do you want red or 755 00:35:25,228 --> 00:35:28,148 Speaker 1: white wine? Red? Like it just these things just happen. 756 00:35:28,308 --> 00:35:30,628 Speaker 1: You don't realize it's happening until it's unfolded. Right in 757 00:35:30,668 --> 00:35:33,468 Speaker 1: front of you, and frankly wearing this headset ify is 758 00:35:33,468 --> 00:35:36,028 Speaker 1: Andy Reid. It's like, oh, you want to go for two? Yes? 759 00:35:36,228 --> 00:35:38,428 Speaker 1: Like does he even have this voice in his head 760 00:35:38,468 --> 00:35:41,228 Speaker 1: that just tells him that, like this is buttons. I know, 761 00:35:41,668 --> 00:35:43,188 Speaker 1: I'm really listening to the showy now in my ear. 762 00:35:43,228 --> 00:35:44,868 Speaker 1: This is very distracting. But if I was Andy Reid, 763 00:35:44,868 --> 00:35:46,748 Speaker 1: nows are in this headset, you just hit the fifty 764 00:35:46,788 --> 00:35:48,948 Speaker 1: and you're like, go for it, go for it, go 765 00:35:49,028 --> 00:35:51,108 Speaker 1: for It's just happened. The decisions are just it's mate 766 00:35:51,348 --> 00:35:54,228 Speaker 1: coming up the cowboys. Did you see that? Only seconds? 767 00:35:54,668 --> 00:35:57,388 Speaker 1: Let's go get a break, Kyle gets a break exactly. Wait, 768 00:35:57,388 --> 00:35:59,188 Speaker 1: we just got a word. We're here on for another hour? 769 00:35:59,668 --> 00:36:03,748 Speaker 1: Oh got the word? Yes, Dammy just keep saying, get 770 00:36:03,748 --> 00:36:05,348 Speaker 1: the end and collect to check out how it works. 771 00:36:05,468 --> 00:36:07,868 Speaker 1: I know, Jerry Jones, we're gonna talk about right after that. 772 00:36:07,988 --> 00:36:09,788 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Jamie, you don't get to go, Jamie, you 773 00:36:09,788 --> 00:36:12,348 Speaker 1: don't Okay,
