4
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: now you know how I have the hammer, right, that's

5
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: the other thing, like the ball. They weren't prepared the

6
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: last time because they had a terrible plan. No, no no, no, no, no.

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 1: What game do you go in and say, you know what,

8
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: I hope the other team scores first today. In fact,

9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to make it easier for I'm gonna

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: give you the ball first, like Miami did it on Sunday,

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: and then they did it again. They did it again, right,

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 1: that's send They closed the game and did it again. Yeah,

13
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 1: thank you, sir, may have another. I didn't mean into it.

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: I'm Mike Sematory, right, he's the negative one on the show.

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: Pall literally took dirt and from here the practice field

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: and they grew potatoes and then make chips. Just just

17
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: knowing what goes into that dirty practice field, it makes

18
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: me want to like bodily down a little bit at night. Yeah,

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: and you know this is Patriot's Unfiltered, fueled by dunking. Yeah,

20
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: we're on. Oh we're onesome. Oh jeez, I was, I was.

21
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna say something else. I was

22
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: busy listening to Bill Belichick's press conference and everything else

23
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: that's going on here. But welcome to Patriots Unfiltered. It's

24
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: Thursday here at Gillette Stadium, and we not really we

25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: got um. This is basically the same as a Friday

26
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: because we've got a Saturday night day, got a Saturday

27
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: night game. So Bill's doing his Friday press conference on

28
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: a Thursday, although the timing today is still Thursday timing

29
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: for practice and the press conference, is that right? Think

30
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: of what you will, So they'll have some sort of

31
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: walk through you think tomorrow before they leave. Probably they

32
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: usually do. I would imagine, yeah, yeah, I would think, so, yeah,

33
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: I gotta go out in a little bit. But keep

34
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: an eye on Kyle Tugger. It listed as limited. We

35
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: didn't see him out there earlier yesterday. Interesting thing of

36
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: you know, I mean my mind, and you guys tell me,

37
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if that happened before, because I mean,

38
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: are they hidings? Like he's got a giant cast or

39
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: something on his hand and he comes out after the

40
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: media ends and and I'm thinking that you were right

41
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: yea week. Yeah, it's gonna have one of those big

42
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: old I think Too snailed it last week when he

43
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: just said, oh he just got a broken hand. And

44
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, right, wait, wait what Yeah, I think I

45
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: think Mike was right. Yeah, we'll see. I guess we'll

46
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: see in a few minutes. And I head out, Well

47
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 1: maybe you will maybe or they'll do the same, the

48
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: same thing. I know. Well, I always, you know, you

49
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 1: always check to see who you said wasn't there and

50
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: to make sure it lines up, and every time it has.

51
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: But that's the first time this year where it's like

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: and then you rack your brain. They're like, no, I

53
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: mean I scanned it. He wasn't there. So some people

54
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: tweeted at me, ask him, but we'll see, they added you, yeah,

55
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: they added, but what happened because he came out or something.

56
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: But there were there. We know there were a few

57
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: of us scanning it, so I don't think all of

58
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: us would have missed him. All right, Well you'll be

59
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: going out to practice. So we've got them. What we've

60
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: got anything anything since yesterday? Any any new tidbits? Anybody

61
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: the official signing of Craven. Yeah, the Bills haven't listed

62
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: anyone on their COVID. No move people on either side

63
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,120
Speaker 1: on the COVID list. That's a good good thing. Sozo

64
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 1: saying there are still good seats available for the games

65
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: supposed I was hearing. I heard like down low seats

66
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: or like sixty bucks and you can get up high

67
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: for fifteen. What you can't even get into a movie

68
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: for that much? Yeah, is because of the cold that

69
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: they're expecting. I don't know, I wouldn't even think about it,

70
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: but yeah, just me whatever hotel rooms are cheap, well

71
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: they usually are. Yeah, but you know, like sometimes if

72
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: if there is the demand, you you raise the prices.

73
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: There isn't a demand. Nothing interesting to hear. What the

74
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: pregame atmosphere is like there, if it's small but rowdy,

75
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: or if it if it's a little I mean, you know,

76
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: just as things have piled up this week with the

77
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: weather and stuff, it gives me more and more pause

78
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: that I think the Patriots could have a chance with

79
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: this game of you know, just how it's gonna unfold

80
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: with the weather and you know, just kind of being

81
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 1: a mental toughness. See, I don't know, I mean the building.

82
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: But I know, I mean, I think that that the

83
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: bad conditions, and you know, it's just it negates some

84
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: of the home field advantage a little bit. And you know,

85
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: if it's a small crowd, it's not quite as high.

86
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: It's not going to be a small crowd. It will

87
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: be sold out. We'll see my guess they know what's coming.

88
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: They don't want to see it. Friends and families, the

89
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: other stuff. I'm all with you. There will not be

90
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: any seats available. Yeah, I find that hard to beat.

91
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: An that's what they're saying. I mean, who's say, who's

92
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 1: they than nobody? It's just nothing. No if nobody other

93
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: than zone right, no, but everybody they're getting it by

94
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: going on the site right and on secondary right. So

95
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 1: what you could do everywhere right, seats are sold, but

96
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: now people are trying to sell them, they're trying to

97
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: get rid of them, they're trying to unload them. Yeah.

98
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: Well maybe because they're saying that it's going to be

99
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: negative five degrees over there, and they're like, well, I

100
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: think that hurts the crowd anyway, because I think it's

101
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: hard to get as much into the game when you're

102
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: absolutely frozen. Well, actually, I was. I was at the

103
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee game back in what was that over I remember

104
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: seeing you in the crowd. Yeah, and uh, that was,

105
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 1: you know, the coldest sporting event I'd ever been to.

106
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: And it didn't end up being as bad as I

107
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: thought it was, because it says the guy who was

108
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: sitting in the press car, right, but we were outside too. No,

109
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: but you know where we pause. I know, I know,

110
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: but like the walk to Sharon is long. You had

111
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: like the eight hundred layers on to begin with, and

112
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: like everybody who was in the crowd was sort of like,

113
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, kind of like bouncing up and down, creating

114
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,239
Speaker 1: body temperature, body heat, and it helped that the Patriots

115
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: were winning most of the game. It was an exciting game.

116
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: So like it, it was cold, but it wasn't as

117
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: like when you think about it in your mind, like

118
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: that froze that it didn't feel as bad. Collective fans, Yeah, collective.

119
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: I just remember that Tennessee lineman on the sideline they

120
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: had him miked up or whatever, and he's like, I

121
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 1: can't feel my hands. I'm freaking out. I remember that,

122
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm freaking out. I can't feel my toes. To be

123
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 1: Josh Allen on. So yeah, yeah, evidently he's got an issue. Yeah,

124
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: why would you tell people that? Well, why not? Idiots?

125
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 1: I don't really cares about any of that. They only

126
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: care about how he plays. I mean you can, I mean,

127
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: you can put on those electric socks. They've got them,

128
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: battery powered socks that warm up your feet. You know

129
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: they have them. You know, like like if I was,

130
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: if I was a player, right, I would not go

131
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: out and I would do whatever it is so that

132
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: I can perform at maximum capability. Absolutely, whatever it is,

133
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: long underwear, long sleeves, I would do whatever it takes

134
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 1: for me to feel like I can perform my best. Right,

135
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: There's no need to be a part to be a

136
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: hero and go. I mean, you know, some of the

137
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: offensive linemen are going out there, like some not some,

138
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 1: all of them because because they bullied the backups into

139
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: saying you got to wear no sleeves. I remember that

140
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,559
Speaker 1: that night that Eric is talking about against Tennessee and

141
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: UM post game, you know, one of the touches, I

142
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: don't know, one of the touchdowns in that game was

143
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: a bomb to Bethel Johnson. And I remember after the game, Yes,

144
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: Bethel Johnson said, you know I was I no sleeves

145
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: for me, and I was out there and I remember

146
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: like an hour later. You know, we're doing all the

147
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 1: proof proofs for the for the paper and stuff. Back

148
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: then we had to you know, it was still a

149
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: long process. Fred has the cover and we have Bethel

150
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 1: Johnson on the cover like going into the end Zoe

151
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: with the ball under one I'm in the in the

152
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: in the arm, and the other with the long sleeve sleeve.

153
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: Right like he just blatantly lied. Right. Well, that's what

154
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: a lot of them do, is they they come out

155
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: and warm ups without yeah, short sleeves, and then they hell,

156
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: am I thinking no, no, but it's just to show,

157
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: oh the other team I'm tough. And then they come

158
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: out and then they Steve Nelson told a great story

159
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: about Miami for that. Um. You know, Steve Nelson was

160
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: a linebacker and he had to go against the fullback

161
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: who at the time for Miami was Don Nottingham. Um,

162
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: and Nottingham came out pregame no sleeves, you know, big

163
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: tough Miami guy or you know, like like Eric says,

164
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: you know hard, oh the sheriff right probably then goes

165
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: then he goes back in the locker room, comes back

166
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: out for the game where he had sleeves on, and

167
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: now he goes, I knew I had him. I owned him.

168
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: I knew I was going to own him the whole game.

169
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: I had him. Back then it wasn't as cold. I

170
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: don't know, but like like they but even the guys

171
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: that don't wear sleeves, like there's things that they do

172
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: they put, um, oh, what what's hot or something. It's

173
00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: not icy hot. It's vasiline all over the ski in

174
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 1: and it kind of closes up the pores for wind

175
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: and it keeps them a little warmer. Yeah. Yeah, that

176
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: one time I had to play a really cold outdoor

177
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 1: hockey game in New Hampshire. They told us to put

178
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: vasoline on our faces. But I thought, I mean part

179
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: of it, they said was windburn because with that cold.

180
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: But yeah, it protects you. It's like a coating. Yeah.

181
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: So there's a little thing as tough as you think

182
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 1: you are. Offensive linements up, trying to lie ye and

183
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: then they run to the sideline and they get the

184
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 1: big jackets and they immediately put the big It wouldn't

185
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: be so cold if you pour some sleeves and then

186
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: and then you have the uh, the glass the Doug

187
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: Fluty glass cutter gloves that he made famous. These are

188
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: like really thin gloves that glass cutters wear that gives you,

189
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: you know, the dexterity that you need, but also keep

190
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 1: you a little bit warmer. Yes, yeah, Doug Fluty with

191
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: the glass cutter gloves. He threw with the glass gloves. Yeah,

192
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't remember on the throwing hand. Oh yeah, I

193
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 1: don't remember that. I know what he's talking about. With

194
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: the gloves that rings a bell. I just didn't realize

195
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: Fluti was the one. I mean, he it's ironic because

196
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,560
Speaker 1: he couldn't throw. I'm sure he wasn't the but it was.

197
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: I remember he famously wore them. Yeah, yeah, no, I

221
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: for another job, and I'm like, really, you know it was,

222
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: remember who it was. It was one of those like, oh,

223
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: I've heard his name, but he's never been a GM before.

224
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: Oh like Elliott Wolf at least he works in a

225
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: personnel department. Oh he's not even Yeah. This was like

226
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: somebody outside the guy from the Browns, the Quaisiadopho men. No, no, no,

227
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: never mind. I don't want to bo people, but I

228
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 1: don't want to bore people with me trying to remember.

229
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: But it was a name that like, oh, people know

230
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: who this guy is, but I had no experience whatsoever.

231
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: Alongoes lines Freddy, I've noticed more names that I I'm

232
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: not familiar with in this round. Now. I don't know

233
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: if it's because like these betting things, these betting props

234
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 1: are becoming more and more prevalent. So there's a list

235
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: of ten twelve guys for every opening, so they have

236
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: to come up with different names. But I would say,

237
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 1: out of these names, this is a good five to

238
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: ten that I've never like. And I like to think

239
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: that I at least have an idea of who people

240
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: are in the league. Yeah, but there's some names that

241
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: I've never heard. There's a woman being considered for the

242
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: Vikings GM job Eagles vice president of football Ops, Catherine Raish.

243
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: Hadn't heard her name before, but that would be history

244
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: making if they decided. Yeah, you wonder like if if

245
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: it's just for show titular? Oh, I see what you

Speaker 1: did there? Yeah? Ever hear of Jonathan Gannon? No any

247
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: relationship Nannon. I think he's the offensive coordinator for the Colts,

248
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: but I'm not positive on that one. Brian Callahan never

249
00:12:56,320 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: heard of Billy barr Allahane to Bill, I think he

250
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: might be. There was, There was Mike McDaniel. Now there's

251
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: a little bit a lot of going around with him

252
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:07,559
Speaker 1: because he kind of looks like a hipster. I've seen

253

Speaker 1: to sound like I'm being like insensitive, but I look

276
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: forward to, like in a few weeks when Josh is up,

277
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: you know, when he comes up and he walks around

00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: time here coming up and standing in falls door and

283
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I ran, I thought he was in trouble.

284
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: It is so weird. It's like when you're walking down

285
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: the street and you see a fifty dollars bill, like

286
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: immediately like it's so out of place it is. It's

287
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: the ESPN commerce. Yeah, when you see when you the

288
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: rare times that you see somebody from downstairs upstairs, it's like,

289

291
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: Mike often, you know, like I'll go over there and

292
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,520
Speaker 1: Pump comes over and just pop in, like he's getting

293
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: a drink or whatever. And he stops in and he

294
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: turns to the corner and he was like, oh, I

295
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: didn't know this because you didn't realize it was John right,

296
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: and Josh is just like standing there, you know, but

297
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: talking about random Well, I remember the time you said,

298
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 1: you know, I was talking to Josh and I thought

299
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: you were the whole time you were talking. I thought

300
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: you were referring to Josh Kraft, like who also comes by.

301
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: It's like, oh yeah, I'm like, yeah, you know, no

302
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: disrespect to Josh Crapp. And I'm like, you know, so

303
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: what right next to see him every day. I did

304
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: find the tweet. It was from Aaron Wilson Um and

305
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: it says highly regarded Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels is

306
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: focused solely on preparations for the playoffs, and he has

307
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: not expected to pursue any head coaching opportunities during the postseason.

308
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: Per league sources, McDaniels does have significant interest around the league. Yeah,

309
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: I mean that's what everybody's writing, but no one's request,

310
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: not one, not one. Jeff Hayle wrote a glowing tribute

311
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: to Josh too that he is h his stock is

312
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: on the rise. How was saying today that he had

313
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: some news to drop this morning? Do we know what

314
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: it was? Who? Jeff Hafford? He had news, he had

315
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: news that he was dropping personal news. No football. Yeah, yeah,

316
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. They don't really, I don't really follow there. No,

317
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: we haven't heard anything. Okay, all right, probably reporting that

318
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots qualified for the playoffs. If unless they do

319
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: unless they don't. So Patriots could win Saturday night, unless

320
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: they could win if they scored more points than Buffalo,

321
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: or or they could lose if they don't score as

322
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: many situations and his fluid. I'll keep you posted and

323
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: mac Jones will play unless something happened, lesthing happens, unless

324
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:09,400
Speaker 1: something changes between now and then. All right, let's get

325
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: to the phones a hurry. We'll start with Todd in

326
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: North Carolina hate Todd. I'm gonna head out. Sorry, Todd,

327
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: All right, go ahead, Yeah, it's all you. It's all you, Todd.

328
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: You drove through side of the building. You got a

329
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: little snow coming. Do we a little bit just a

330
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: little bit coding, you know, Douce. I think one of

331
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: the things with our defense is we don't have that

332
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: anchor defensive lineman that just always is there and is

333
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: always his presence problem, not for a lack of trying paying.

334
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: I think Barmar might grow into that. But I went

335
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: back and I was thinking, and I think even in

336
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 1: two thousand they had like there was a guy that

337
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 1: was just he was just consistent. I think his name

338
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: was Peasant, No, not Peasant, um Pleasant, Anthony Pleasant. He was. Yeah,

339
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: he was a three four end. He was a good

340
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: solid player. Yeah. Yeah, that anchor, That's exactly, Paul. That's

341
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: what we we're missing. We don't have that anchor. And

342
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: when you have that anchor, you know, people like Seymour

343
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: and Rabel and all these other guys that are around him,

344
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: the linebackers, that that front core, that that that initial

345
00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: partners just they can be flexible, they can do stuff,

346
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,720
Speaker 1: and they can be playmakers. But we I think we

347
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: missed that. You know, well, I mean you're talking about

348
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: like an into, like a Willfork, like an interior like

349
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: knows that don't have to be interior, just has to

350
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 1: be somebody on that front line that's just solid, that's

351
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 1: supposed to be liked Davin, gotcha, Lawrence guy, right, Carl Davis.

352
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: Those are the guys that are supposed to be doing

353
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: But I think what what Todd and correct me from

354
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: wrong type. You're looking for the guy that the other

355
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: team has to game plan for. Oh is that what

356
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 1: you're saying? Well, they have to take into account like

357
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: they have to block him after no worry. Is the

358
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: guy that's just there, like Wilfork, you couldn't run it

359
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: will work, good luck, you were just gonna stop. Yeah,

360
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm not saying we could get somebody

361
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 1: that quality, but we just need somebody that they just

362
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: can't they can't, they can't ignore that. Yeah, exactly, Fred,

363
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: That's exactly it. And I don't think we have that

364
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: because and I think without that the rest for a

365
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: while it was Judean. Yeah, you know, but he's talking

366
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: about running. If he's talking about running, they've struggled like

367
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: stopping the run. I mean it's been a problem all season.

368
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and Jude, you know, always on the edge, right,

369
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: he's not really coming out the guts of that. So

370
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: you're looking for that central lot Yeah, yeah, I haven't gotcha.

371
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: And Carl Davis supposed to be that, yeah, and they

372
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: just don't seem to be this year. And you know,

373
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: I was hoping Deuce was being you can still be here,

374
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: but you know, that's what I think we missed. And

375
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: you think Barmore could go into that that's my final Yeah,

376
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: I'll take it off there. Absolutely. I don't think he's

377
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 1: that kind of player. I think he's a versatile interior

378
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: defensive lineman, but I don't think he's a big, huge

379
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: run Oh no. No No, I don't think he's gonna be

380
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:47,679
Speaker 1: like a zero technique Ted Washington type talking about. But

381
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 1: I think he can be an every down player. Oh

382
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: I he virtually is. Yeah, I mean I mean not

383
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: every game, but he's he's one of their best defensive lineman.

384
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: He's out there more often than not. He's I think

385
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 1: he's terrific. Yeah, uh Nickson, Ohio, what's up? Nick? Nick? Hey?

386
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: You guys, how you doing that good? All right? UM,

Speaker 1: something simple. I gotta get back to work. I'm an

Speaker 1: your service. But away from that, I appreciate that. UM.

391
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: I just have a question for you guys. If you guys,

392
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: uh wouldn't mind answering. Um, what's your favorite just part

393
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: of the season, just in NFL or just in the Patriots,

394
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: just in general? That's it. What's the favorite part of

395
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: the season. Okay, thanks for the call, u. UM. I

396
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: love the playoffs. I mean, the playoffs are great. When

397
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 1: you're when you're winning in the playoffs, there's nothing like it.

398
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: There's a different excitement about it at work for sure.

399
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: You know. I just be like, as a as a

400
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: fan off in general playoffs, playoff times, it's just it's different. Yea, Yeah,

401
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: it's different. YEA love it, especially like Wildcard weekend when

402
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: there's it's the beginning. There are so many games. It's

403
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 1: kind of like the first weekend of March Madness, you know,

404
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: when you've when you know you've got all the games

405
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: for like three four days. It feels like that a

406
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 1: little bit. And it's it's really cool when you have

407
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: that buy and you can sit back and you can

408
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: watch the other teams and like figure out who you're

409
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: gonna play, and that's fun. Yeah, you know, Um, this year,

410
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: obviously we're in the mix, so we don't have that

411
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: week off, but it's all right. And then you know,

412
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: training camp is kind of fun too when it first starts.

413
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: But then that gets old when you get into week

414
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 1: three and you know, but when it first starts, it's

415
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: good to be out there. First weekend training camp is yeah,

416
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: you know, because it's it's it's the start. Now for

417
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: the players, they wouldn't agree with that, but now the

418
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: start of the regular season I always find very exciting too.

419
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,920
Speaker 1: Then it's sort of like, right then you get into

420
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: and see what's going on. Right, it's a grind. But

421
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 1: the way the NFL season is set up and and

422
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: and designed is it's really perfect for the fan. It's

423
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: you know, you you you have a couple of days

424
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: to talk about the game, the game happens, you have

425
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: a couple of days to rehatch the game, and then

426
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: a couple of days to talk about the next one,

427
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: and then the game comes. It's a great Yeah, it's

428
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: a great cadence. Yeah, it's perfect. And while you're talking

429
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: about it, there's a game on the Thursday that you

430
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 1: can kind of look forward like get your like it's

431
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: an advertiser perfect in everyone. And you know, and I

432
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: think the game of football lends itself not only because

433
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: of the physicality you really couldn't play more often than that,

434
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: but but the complexity of the game can hold your

435
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: attention for a week. Like the NBA, if you only

436
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: had one game a week, there wouldn't be enough to

437
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: talk about with it for the game itself, you know,

438
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: after you analyze that one game, there wouldn't be a

439
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: lot left, right, you know that's interesting. Yeah, I wonder

440
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: if that would be like that. Yeah, I wonder if

441
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: we would talk about games more if they were less

442
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: of them in the other sports. Yeah, I don't know.

443
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't think so, but I think friends, right, there's

444
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: only so much you can say. Football is such a complex, Yeah,

445
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 1: but would would football be like that? If you know,

446
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,439
Speaker 1: obviously it's for obvious reasons, you can't. But if there

447
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: were four football games a week, would we talk about

448
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: them like that? Maybe we wouldn't, because I personally think

449
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 1: a lot of people think they can talk about football

450
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 1: for a week, but they can't. I certainly can't. Yeah,

451
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to make fun of other people. I

452
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: don't know enough about the intricacies of the XS and

453
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: oos to break it down the way the way a

454
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 1: lot of people try to. Really only need a couple

455
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: of days to like exhaust your talking points for any

456
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 1: any game. Like I can sit here and I can

457
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 1: tell you that I agree with your premise on Josh

458
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 1: Allen Freddie right, Like Bill is going to need to

459
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: do something a little bit different. I can't tell you

460
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: how he's gonna you know, hey, how he's going to

461
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: do it, be how he should do it, you know,

462
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: or see when I'm watching necessarily if there was a

463
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: huge change or if they just played differently right, you know,

464
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: or better. And and the other thing that comes into

465
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 1: that conversation is who's available. Is tell me if duggs

466
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: on the field and he's one hundred percent, because I

467
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,200
Speaker 1: think that that's a big key in Josh Allen too.

468
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, so yeah Mills, Mills, Barmore, yep.

469
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: You know, we might not know about Jalen Mills until

470
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: Saturday comes, right, you know, if he's able to get activated.

471
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,679
Speaker 1: Let's go to Dave in Canada. It's a big country.

472
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: Where whereabouts in Canada you're from, Dave Manitoba, Manitoba. Alright, alright,

473
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: lose a peg Manitoba. One opinion and one question I'd

474
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 1: like to leave with you guys. Topic of conversation is

475
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 1: all year been what are we satisfied with? What would

476
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: be enough if we could knock off the Bills that

477
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: would be completely satisfactory than he if we take them

478
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,440
Speaker 1: down and then go down to the Chiefs or the Titans,

479
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: I would accept that. Okay, So one win in the

480
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: playoffs is something that I would believe that going well

481
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: done boys. Okay, all right, I've already dune. I had

482
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: already funny that Paul say, I can't talk about football

483
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: for a week. I was as our friends and that's

484
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: all we do is talk football. And the topic that

485
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: came up on as if you could have one player

486
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: guaranteed for the next four years off of any roster,

487
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: And we actually got four different answers Mahomes, Aaron Donald, Russell, Wilson.

488
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 1: And my answer was justin Jefferson like to hear what

489
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: you guys think would serve the Patriots the test over

490
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: the next four years. Take off the thanks guy Patrick,

491
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. I wouldn't really even give it much much thought. Yeah,

492
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: I mean, Donald's a close second if you're focused on

493
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: your defense. Yeah, yeah, Like he's a monster in the

494
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: middle there. But Paul's right, you take the best quarterback

495
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 1: there is, you know at the age Yeah, you know

496
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 1: like the next four years, right right, yeah, because you

497
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't maybe expect. And I also don't want to roll

498
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: anybody by saying Tom Brady, right, yeah, the guy did

499
00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: just throw one hundred and eleven touchdowns at lead the

500
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,679
Speaker 1: you can touchdown passes this year, oldest ever to do it.

501
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 1: Not bad, not bad. Bruce Arians says it'll be a

502
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: travesty if he doesn't get MVP. Can you imagine Bill

503
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,919
Speaker 1: saying that in season about one of his players, like

504
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: like totally different, the bigger, like much bigger than saying

505
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: it is even given any thought to any second of

506
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: a day right to. It just tells you that Bruce

507
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: Arians has a lot of time in his hands down there.

508
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: I don't think he's being just work worrying about awards

509
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: for the actual principles involved. I think is foolishness, not

510
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: like agents people that are trying to promote their client. Absolutely,

511
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: that's that's important stuff. And the player himself to say,

512
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: you know, I'd like to be the MVP, totally get it.

513
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 1: But to waste any ounce of thought saying, you know,

514
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: I really should be the MVP. Yeah, instead of worrying

515
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: about playing the game. Like but wait, did somebody ask

516
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: Bruce arians about this? They must have. I mean, if

517
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: somebody asks him about it, I appreciate his honesty. It's

518
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: his quarterback. He's had a you know, he's had a

519
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: great season. Why wouldn't he stick up for his quarterback.

520
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: I didn't have any problem with that. Yeah, I don't

521
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: know the guy. By the way, the guy's won a

522
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: super Bowl, so it's not like there's only one way

523
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: to do it, the Belichick way. No, I just think

524
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 1: it's dumb to worry about Like, why would you worry

525
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: about it? That's all. But he's not worried about it.

526
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: If somebody asked him directly, what do you think about

527
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: the MVP race, and he gave it I'm not really

528
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: concerned about that. Yeah. Well, which should be the answer,

529
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: because he shouldn't be concerned about it obviously he is

530
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 1: to answer it the way. I don't think it's that

531
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: big a deal to take five seconds. It's not a

532
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: big deal. I just think it's odd. I'm with Fred,

533
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,640
Speaker 1: I agree with you. Like I can't imagine Bill Belichick

534
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: has taken any time of his preparation to say, oh,

535
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: you know what, I've been thinking about that. It'll be

536
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: a travesty if he didn't. He's a different person. He's

537
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,959
Speaker 1: sitting he has a media he hasn't. I didn't say

538
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 1: it's going to affect the game, though, But I just

539
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: think it's kind of odd, that's all. I don't think

540
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: it's odd at all. I think he was I assume

541
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 1: somebody asked him the question. I don't know for sure.

542
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm just yeah, I don't know how he came out. Yeah,

543
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 1: I don't know how he know the answer. I like

544
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: he could have brought it up on his own. If

545
00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: he brought it up on his own, and that's totally different.

546
00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: But if somebody asked him the question, I have no

547
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: problem whatsoever with him entertaining it. He has to sit

548
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: there and answer questions for a certain amount of time. Anyway,

549
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: that was the question, he answered it. I appreciate his honesty,

550
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 1: just like you know, how many times have we had

551
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: to sit there through You remember in the past when

552
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 1: whenever Bill would be asked about like personal records, yeah,

553
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: and he'd be like, oh, we don't really care about

554
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: personal records here. And you know, because we work here,

555
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: we can't stand up and say, oh, really, how about

556
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: the Flutie drop kick, how about the Vinie test of

557
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: Verdi touchdown pass against Tennessee? How about Brady kneeling forward

558
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: so he doesn't lose the yard to gain the thousand

559
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: yards in the season. Of course, you care about personal records,

560
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: but we work here, so we're not allowed to ask

561
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: those questions follow ups. Okay, Paul's not interested anymore, Tony

562
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:53,920
Speaker 1: writes in in five games, the Patriots have apparently only

563
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 1: turned over Alan twice. On the other hand, in temperatures

564
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 1: below freezing, Alan has a fi point three percent completion

565
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: rate in just one hundred and sixty six point six

566
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: yards per game, with six touchdowns and seven interceptions in

567
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 1: five games. Which how many points they average in those games?

568
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, thirty, which probably meaningless. The Saturday stats

569
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: should we, as Patriots fanatics believe is the more likely

570
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: of the two, I think he could be um affected

571
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 1: by the weather. Josh Allen, I think that's more likely

572
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: that he will be negatively impacted by the weather. I

573
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: don't know how many points that means the Buffalo is

574
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: going to score, because they scored twenty nine two three picks. Yeah. Uh,

575
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:45,120
Speaker 1: what was that second stat or is already deleted, already deleted?

576
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: All right, it was, you know, fifty points something completion rate.

577
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: And it's also a cherry picked below freezing so like

578
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: when it was like thirty five in New England and

579
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: he threw three touchdowns and three counts because it was

580
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:03,840
Speaker 1: like I think, difference between below freezing and below degrees Ye,

581
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: a difference, and that's going to affect everybody, not just

582
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. Yeah. I mean you have to isolate it

583
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: to frigid conditions, and I think you need to. That's

584
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: why I said, I think he'll be negatively impact and

585
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: I think the Patriots quarterback will be negatively impacted by

586
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 1: it as well. Yeah, well he could be. We don't know. Yeah,

587
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: we've might ever seen him play in temperatures like this

588
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: right ever, Yeah, he has been so far. If we're

589
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: going to do what we do to Josh Allen right,

590
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: I hasn't played well in December, uh Dexter and Santa Rosa.

591
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: I can't stand the idea that some Patriots fans fall

592
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 1: into the narrative of let's find something new for the

593
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: offense at this stage of the season. It all stems

594
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: from the desire to get the ball into playmaker's hands.

595
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: Instead of throwing the screen passes to John hu Smith,

596
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: how about throw some slip screens to rumandj Stevenson and

597
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: get him in space. He is great after contact and

598
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: I think he's special. Instead of heaving it to Nikkiel

599
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: for a guaranteed batted ball in the air right for

600
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: an interception, how about throw it to the people who

601
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: make plays for us consistently for this game. I'm emotionally

602
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: prepared to lose. Hell, I'm prepared to lose to anybody,

603
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: but I am going to root the whole way. Good

604
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: for you, But I will be disappointed if I watch

605
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 1: three to four targets go to Harry out of stubbornness

606
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 1: and one ends up in a game changing interception. Let's

607
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: stick with what works and whatever happens happens. Also, let

608
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: Ouch and judeon loose on Allen. Forget the QB spy.

609
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: Just pressure Allen and if he carves us up, so

610
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: be it. Patriots seventeen Bills sixteen. I think you have

611
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: to remember that the only reason Nikil Harry had seen

612
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: any sort of action in the passing game down the

613
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: stretch here was because they were down a couple of

614
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: receivers and he had to kind of you know, he

615
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: had one or two more passes thrown to him than normal.

616
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: So I think with Agalore back, Warren coming back off

617
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 1: of the COVID list and recovering from that, I think

618
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have to worry about passes being thrown

619
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: to to kill Harry. He's out there again for what

620
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: he's been out there for all season, and that's the

621
00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: run block. Yeah, I agree. Uh, Let's go to Charlie

622
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 1: in Lancaster, UK. What's up, Charlie? Hi, guys, I'm quite

623
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: a while. Can he okay? Oh yeah, just pull the

624
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: string at the other end of the uh chord there

625
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: you'd be all right? He is he still there? Yeah?

626
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,959
Speaker 1: Go ahead, try Charlie. Yes, yes, yeah, just a quick one,

627
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 1: just basic covered dist not a female kind of Thomas Fund,

628
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: but just really got to going to John Smith. It's

629
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: really frustrated. I know he's not grown, but it's part

630
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: that not throwings him at all and he's just blocking.

631
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: We need some kind of spottedness on the offense. So

632
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't what you guys thought about that? And then that's

633
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: told you guys, all right, thanks Charlie. I mean, I

634
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: just don't think Smith gets open. You know, I don't

635
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: know why they're not throwing it to him, but you know,

636
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: is he is he having trouble getting open? I don't

637
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:11,200
Speaker 1: know are we talking about I think he doesn't have

638
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: a lot of It doesn't look like he has a

639
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 1: lot of comfort in what he's doing. Yeah, but he

640
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 1: showed he has some getty up once he has the

641
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: ball in his hand, and everything they do with the

642
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: ball in his hands is something designed to get the

643
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: ball to him, right, Yeah. Yeah. It's like you know

644
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: how we always say like there isn't an intended receiver

645
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: in this offense, Well there is less it's a screen

646
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 1: or something like that. Like most of the passes he

647
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: catches us screens or they hand him the ball. I

648
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 1: think we were a little bit on his hands. I

649
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: think we were a little bit um swayed this summer

650
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: when we saw or even in the spring, when we

651
00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 1: saw him running a couple of those crossing patterns and

652
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, in open space. He put on an extra

653
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: gear and we were like, oh, this is right as right,

654
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,719
Speaker 1: and I thought we were going to see more of that,

655
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: and we really haven't. I think that's where a lot

656
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: of people maybe got their hope up a little bit

657
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: with him. You know, in order to have running of

658
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: the catch, you have to get him in the open.

659
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,600
Speaker 1: And yeah, maybe he's just not getting open. I don't know,

660
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 1: and they've kind of given up on it, right, It's like,

661
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: let's not spend any more time thinking about this. I

662
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 1: don't I just don't think he looks comfortable doing what

663
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,080
Speaker 1: he's doing. I don't even think it's a matter of

664
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: being able to get open. I'm not sure he knows

665
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: where he's supposed to be. Like, I just think that

666
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: he's having trouble with that. And that's you know, And

667
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 1: when I say that, I'm thinking of when Josh a

668
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: few weeks back, we're like, you know, talking about the

669
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: second year familiarity in the system. It was almost like

670
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 1: they were saying, you know, he ain't getting it this year.

671
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: We have to wait till next year. Hopefully he'll be

672
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: more up to speed. And I think that's why. Like

673
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,960
Speaker 1: I just looked at the stats, you know, in addition

674
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 1: to his thirty catches and I think it's twenty eight catches,

675
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: they also handed it to him nine times, so I

676
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: mean that's like thirty seven catches and again not far

677
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: off of what he normally does. Yeah. Um Matt writes

678
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: in from Devon, UK a question from last weekend. After

679
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 1: seeing two A play for a few seasons, it's my

680
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 1: opinion that he isn't very good and isn't the long

681
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: term answer in Miami, do you think that when teams

682
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: switch their offenses to an RPO based one, that it's

683
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,839
Speaker 1: an admission that the quarterback isn't that good and isn't

684
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: a competent enough passer to run a conventional offense. So

685
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: it's almost the last resort. I know that it usually

686
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: has short term success, but then other defenses catch up

687
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: and then the quarterback isn't there for much longer. Examples

688
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: are TWA, Nick Foles, RG three, etc. I know that

689
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has had a regular seasons success with it.

690
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: Inf in Baltimore, but it's never translated to the playoffs.

691
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,120
Speaker 1: Just an observation for me. I'm sure Paul will tell

692
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: me that I'm wrong. Paul, Well, it is kind of

693
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: hard to ignore it. Kansas City do they run RPOs

694
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,960
Speaker 1: more than anybody? Yeah, you know, and they completely change

695
00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: from the West Coast offense to Patrick's mahomes to suit him. Yeah,

696
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: Robert Griffin got hurt, so that's completely irrelevant. It's not

697
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 1: because of defenses caught up to it. He ripped up

698
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 1: his knee and was never the same. Nick Foles is

699
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: a career backup, so that's not the same. Yeah, you know,

700
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: you could make an argument that two is not good enough.

701
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: I would agree with that that like the original premise

702
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: of his email, I totally. I also have a hard

703
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: time ripping two when he's completely shredded you three times

704
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: in a row. Yeah, that's a good point too. Yeah,

705
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,440
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's like, you know, they only threw for

706
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: one hundred and nine yards. That's because that's all they

707
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 1: wanted to throw forward. They didn't need to do anything

708
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 1: else but run the ball that game. They just milked

709
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: the clock and that's why they won. Like, right, when

710
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: you're up seventeen points in the second half. Why are

711
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,719
Speaker 1: you going to throw it all over the place? Let's

712
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: see Alex and Charlton. I don't feel very optimistic heading

713
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: into this game. We absolutely can't pull out a win,

714
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: but like Paul has mentioned numerous times, it seems like

715
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 1: in order for that to happen, the Bills and Josh

716
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 1: Allen need to have an off day. I have an

717
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,880
Speaker 1: observation and a question I'd like to hear your thoughts on.

718
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 1: For the past two years at least, the Patriots have

719
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: had a really hard time stopping the Bills passing attack,

720
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,359
Speaker 1: though during the same time period they have been able

721
00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 1: to contain the Chargers passing offense quite well. I know

722
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: the Bills have more quality depth at wide receiver, but

723
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: the Chargers clearly have a good passing game, and Herbert

724
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,720
Speaker 1: to me, seems like a similar, big arm fairly mobile

725
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: guy like Alan. I'd like to hear your thoughts about

726
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: why the same defense has had more success against the

727
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: Chargers than the Bills. Is the difference Allen's development the

728
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: Bill's familiarity with the Patriots. Do you think the Bills

729
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: passing game is that much better or something else? I

730
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,799
Speaker 1: think Herbert is. Yeah, he's two years behind Alan in

731
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 1: his development, that's part of it, he is, Yeah, And

732
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: I would say Herbert looked a lot better the second

733
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: time around than the first time around. Me. Can I

734
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: also say that, like the Chargers don't have anywhere near

735
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 1: the talent that the Bills do on offense, right, they

736
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,439
Speaker 1: have Keenan Allen, right, Eckler's not bad. No, yeah, he's

737
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,720
Speaker 1: I mean he's not bad, but he doesn't have Stefan Diggs,

738
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: who's an all Pro, Davis Cole Beasley, Dawson Knox, Emmanuel Sanders.

739
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no comparison between the depth of weapons

740
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 1: that Buffalo has as compared to the Chargers. Yeah, and

741
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: I think they they completely caught the Charges by surprise

742
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: last year, just like that was one of those like

743
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: every team has them, like they have a game. And

744
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: Eric's right too, I mean Herbert looked like Josh Josh

745
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: Allen looked like Herbert when they when he first got there,

746
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 1: right right, he was holding them back at first, and

747
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 1: then he developed and but now I think, even now,

748
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 1: I think Allen's a better runner than Herbert. I'd say

749
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 1: different yea power, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, But Can run.

750
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,319
Speaker 1: I think Herbert is maturing into a good quarterback. He's

751
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: going to be like one of the better one too,

752
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,840
Speaker 1: just like just like Alan is right, and can I

753
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: just say on that And I kind of agree if

754
00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 1: I if you put a gun to my head, now,

755
00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 1: I'll be on Eric's side. But maybe I'm a little

756
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: worried about him. Herbert, Yeah, reason if he's one of

757
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: those guys it just kind of finds a way to

758
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 1: be just good enough, to not quite be good enough.

759
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: Puts up numbers. Yeah, like you can't play any better

760
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: than he did down the stretch of the Raiders game

761
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: the other night, and had absolutely nothing to do with him.

762
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: It was dare I say, Drew esque like I can

763
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: give you and you know that I can. I can

764
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: give you a catalog of games like that, where right,

765
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 1: they just he just kept scoring in the defense just

766
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 1: kept allowing it and they couldn't win and had nothing

767
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,439
Speaker 1: to do with justin Herbert. But I do wonder if

768
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 1: maybe he's one of those guys that they lost a

769
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: ton of games his rookie year that they had a

770
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 1: chance to win and they just couldn't quite finish it off.

771
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: And this year, sorry, you get to December in this

772
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: position that they were in and not find a way

773
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 1: to win any of those games, especially the Houston one.

774
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 1: That's kind of on you, you know, and as a team,

775
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 1: and you know, whether it's Herbert's fault or not, I

776
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: don't know, but I am watching. I'm watching that, like

777
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: I think there might be one of those things that

778
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: people kind of look at it and say Herbert is

779
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: more physically gifted than X or Y Borrow or whoever.

780
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: But I'll take the other guy, you know. And I

781
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm not saying that yet, but I'm just

782
00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: wondering if that's one of those things to keep an

783
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: eye on. Mitch and Albany. I keep seeing people online

784
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: saying that the Patriots are one star receiver from truly

785
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: being contenders. Do you guys believe that's the case for

786
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: our offense? And if the Patriots look into free agency

787
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: in the offseason, do you see them getting a young,

788
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: talented receiver like Calvin Ridley. I think he'd be a

789
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,080
Speaker 1: great fit in our offense. I have an interesting thought

790
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,160
Speaker 1: on the subject. If Malcolm Mitchell had never retired after

791
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: his first season, do you guys believe he would have

792
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,720
Speaker 1: developed into a young star that made a significant impact

793
00:40:57,719 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: in our offense. From what I remember, he was very

794
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: good and consistent his rookie year and had tons of potential.

795
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,080
Speaker 1: He seemed like the one receiver the Patriots had really

796
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:11,719
Speaker 1: hit on in the draft. I don't remember. I don't

797
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 1: remember Mitchell being the kind of player that I thought,

798
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: even at the time, was going to be a number

799
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: one receiver. I remember thinking this guy would be a

800
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: great complimentary receiver, you know, like a nice yeah, nice

801
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:26,920
Speaker 1: two or three guys. And I think you've got enough

802
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: of those already. Yeah, um, but probably in this offense

803
00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: more of a three maybe. Yeah. I think he would

804
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: have been, you know, a good player for them. Yeah,

805
00:41:35,239 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, Chris Hogan, Brady Fell, Yeah, yeah,

806
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,799
Speaker 1: that maybe born Yeah, after after you're you know, if

807
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,240
Speaker 1: you have a WR one and then your possession receiver,

808
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: Mitchell would be a good complimentary guy. I wrote about

809
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: a little bit in the mail bag this week because

810
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 1: we had a couple of questions on and I mean,

811
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 1: I would I love really, I think he's a really

812
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: really good player, and he's he's twenty seven. Would absolutely

813
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 1: be interested. But you have to I mean, you have

814
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 1: to figure out why he like the mental issues, um,

815
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,879
Speaker 1: you know, dealing with anxiety, especially now, um, now more

816
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: than ever, we're you know, learning more and more about

817
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: how these things can impact athletes. And you have to

818
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: be sure that he's going to play. Yeah, And that's

819
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,239
Speaker 1: the number one thing to to get to get down

820
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 1: to here is whether or not Ridley wants to keep

821
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,759
Speaker 1: playing or if he just has an issue with Atlanta

822
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: and what's the And I'd like to know. I don't

823
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,480
Speaker 1: know if we'll ever know, but I'd like to know

824
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,799
Speaker 1: what the issue is that he's dealing with, you know,

825
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:39,759
Speaker 1: is it bipolar, is it an addiction? Is it something else? Like?

826
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: What what is it that? Why was it so bad

827
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: that he had to leave Atlanta? You know, to Paul's point,

828
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:49,359
Speaker 1: was it like yeah? Yeah? Um? And pss Mitchell. Now

829
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: that sports gambling is legal in New York, I'll be

830
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 1: taking every pick Fred makes over wildcard weekend because he

831
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: really does have a feel for the league. Good for you.

832
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 1: Please don't do that, yeah, please don't do that. Just

833
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 1: set it on fire. Uh. Deuce is back from practice,

834
00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: has returned practice has I wish everyone could see the

835
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 1: hand motions that my colleagues are performing during that Usually

836
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: it's just me dancing, but now everybody's a very good

837
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: tune for interpretive dance. It really is performance art. It

838
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: is it is. Uh. So we had a return eat today.

839
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 1: Mister Jamie Collins was back out there. However, no Isaiah Win,

840
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 1: no Isaiah Win, no Doug and no Doug, no Doug

841
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: so something something. Yeah you thought he did. No, I

842
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: didn't think you'd be OK. Yeah, I think I think

843
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 1: you nailed it. He's gonna have a club on, got

844
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 1: a giant club and I think he might have like

845
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 1: surgery last week or something. I don't know what happened.

846
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:55,560
Speaker 1: It's one of it. It's gonna be one of the

847
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: great mysteries at the end of the season, especially he's

848
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: popping up that he's that he limited. Ye know, I

849
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm sure you guys, maybe Eric, you've experienced

850
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: this before. Oh yeah, it's rare, but it happened. It

851
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,479
Speaker 1: does happen. Yeah, it's a little disconcerting at first because

852
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 1: you're like your immediate reactions, but everybody else ever else,

853
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: when it's a consensus, you feel a little bit better

854
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: about Yeah, yeah, you know for sure, Well, especially today

855
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:19,480
Speaker 1: were we just had stretching, So it was like and

856
00:44:19,480 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: I mean by the time we walked in and I

857
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 1: got a little bit of boost because I'm coming out

858
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: of the tunnel, but it's already going. I mean, you

859
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 1: have you know, it's just frantic, like three minutes in

860
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 1: the stadium, guys there in this day of the stag Yeah, yeah,

861
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,320
Speaker 1: for the second day of the frozen still frozen. I

862
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: guess kind of mild, but uh yeah, I was a

863
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: little a little bit. Harry got a brief look at

864
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 1: Christian barn where he was back out there, but I

865
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:47,359
Speaker 1: don't know, it's he looks like it's hard to tell

866
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 1: with him because you know how he's always moving. But Christian,

867
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 1: I love the you talked about interpretive dance. I love

868
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: the interpretations of how a guy who's injured. Yeah, yeah,

869
00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: because you get I mean, you literally can hear five

870
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: different but we'll give you five different impressions. Yeah. I

871
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: thought he was looking okay. Oh, I thought he was

872
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: really dragging. He was laboring. Yeah, yeah. Reesa texted yesterday

873
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: He's like, what did you think to how he looked? Um,

874
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: And at first it looked like he wasn't doing anything yesterday,

875
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 1: but then he did hop into a drill, and I

876
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 1: mean it was you know, legitimate participation, um, not just

877
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: kind of like a walk through where they stand up.

878
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: So um, I'm I'm a little bit optmistic now. I

879
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: really thought after how he went down that we weren't

880
00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: seeing him again until like that was it? You know,

881
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: but probably a positive sign. But how do they fill

882
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: in for Win? I mean, it doesn't look like he's

883
00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:36,480
Speaker 1: gonna play. So do you swap Trent over to the

884
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: left and put on when you at the right? Do

885
00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:41,919
Speaker 1: you put her on at left and keep on when

886
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: you because you want that jumbo package and have the

887
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: ability to play him as the third guy. And let's

888
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,839
Speaker 1: not forget the reason why Carris was in there at center.

889
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,440
Speaker 1: It's because Andrews is kind of nursing his injury. Yement.

890
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: Oh I thought he had a he does, but he

891
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,200
Speaker 1: had a change of cleat. Yeah, okay, he clarified that

892
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: one to Mike the weeks. So some questions how how

893
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: they handle that, And I guess we'll see with Dougger.

894
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 1: But you know, same kind of thing with you know,

895
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 1: do they have to elevate practice squad Sean Davis again

896
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: to you know, play kind of that three safety package

897
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 1: that they've you know, played a great chunk of the

898
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: year in and has been such a key part. Didn't

899
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 1: he get he got bang? He got too. But he's

900
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: been out here, yeah he It was like the first

901
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: play came in and banged his wrist up, right, and

902
00:46:24,960 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be on the injury report because he's back

903
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:31,759
Speaker 1: on the practice correct, right, right, correct, So yeah, they

904
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 1: could be really shorthanded, I mean even more so than

Speaker 1: I got I got on a mcclennan kick. Yesterday afternoon.

1096
00:57:53,800 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: I started thinking about that. His name is mcclennan. No,

1097
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: I think that was That was it? That was it?

Speaker 1: That sealed his That was it? Really was it? Really did?

1099
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: I really think so? Like I don't even know the

00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 1: guys I think, and he's but he's correcting everybody else

1101
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 1: with the wrong correction. And that was like, mmmm, let

1102
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 1: me show you what you did wrong. I think that

1103
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: sealed his face. Excuse me, Cam, I think it's McCorkell. Yeah, mcclennan,

Speaker 1: it's actually Michael. I know. I told you I got

1122
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 1: down the line. Thanks. Those new paychecks are kicking it.

1123
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: I I was wondering um watching the last game, and

1124
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 1: I noticed that I was as frustrated, if not much

1125
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: more frustrated this season than I was last year. Last year,

1126
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 1: I was frustrated because I was thinking, if this all

1127
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: this personnel can do? Whereas in this year, I'm frustrated,

1128
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 1: Is this all we're doing with this personnel? And just

1129
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: the way you you know, the errors, the mental errors,

1130
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: the execution errors, the lack of taking chances. And that

1131
00:59:50,240 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 1: was just an overall thought. Maybe you guys can discuss

1132
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 1: later so you think maybe this year they're underachieving. Correct, interesting,

1133
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: I would say, so, okay, and on a particular attack

1134
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: for this weekend. And I thought about this for a while.

1135
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: Because we have a set amount of weapons that we

1136
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: trust out there on the field, would that be an

1137
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: accurate statement? Yeah, I think they play a lot of

1138
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: different guys. Yeah, I think I think they have trust

1139
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:23,800
Speaker 1: in three receivers, three running backs, and two tight ends.

1140
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: I think there's a I mean, I think they have

1141
01:00:25,800 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: a lot of guys they have trust in. Okay, So

1142
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: I was thinking in this particular game, just because of

1143
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: the weather, you know, the cold and all that other stuff,

1144
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:36,760
Speaker 1: what do you think about attacking it in a way

1145
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 1: where after we get a first down, after the team

1146
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 1: gets a first down, the team that's out there just

1147
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:46,200
Speaker 1: starts accelerating the rate of play, like and maybe not

1148
01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:48,680
Speaker 1: it's the hyper mode that we were a couple of

1149
01:00:48,720 --> 01:00:52,400
Speaker 1: years ago when the office was really clicking. But just

1150
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 1: keep that person that defensive personnel out there and then

1151
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:57,920
Speaker 1: just go at them, especially since you can do it

1152
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: with the run um. And I guess maybe Stevenson might

1153
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: be a little bit better suited for this because he's

1154
01:01:02,880 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 1: a little bit better receiver out of the backfield. But

1155
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: I think if we do that and we just don't

1156
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 1: allow them to make adjustment, I think that actually gives

1157
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 1: us a better shot at just you know, bum rushing

1158
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 1: them and hopefully you know, getting momentum on our side.

1159
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 1: What do you guys think, Yeah, I mean there's something

1160
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 1: to be said about playing fast and you know, not

1161
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: allowing the defense to adjust. But then if it doesn't work,

1162
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: then you've got yourself a short possession and give the

1163
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: other team the ball back quicker you know, so it

1164
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 1: but I mean it all comes down to the quarterback.

1165
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: It really does, right, And I think you got to

1166
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 1: pick your spots for it. And I like that if

1167
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 1: you've got them in you know, in their nickel package

1168
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: and you've got the jumbo package out there and you're

1169
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, you have a couple of successful run plays.

1170
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: But I think that they have a good group that

1171
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: they like veteran buffalo defense that I don't. I don't

1172
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: think they're gonna have the communication issues that you might

1173
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:55,439
Speaker 1: have when you're trying to push the pace on some teams.

1174
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,600
Speaker 1: And I also think it's to put a lot on MAC.

1175
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: I like it in the run sense and trying to

1176
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 1: pound it when you're having some success and you get

1177
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: them in Nickel. But I just think it's asking a

1178
01:02:04,360 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 1: lot and putting a lot on Max played if you

1179
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 1: really want to like open it up to what it was,

1180
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 1: you know, back when you know Brady was here and

1181
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,400
Speaker 1: then Gronk and Hernandez and that whole thing where you

1182
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 1: know in twenty eleven where they just were trying to

1183
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: push the pace constantly. Yeah. To Mike's point, they really

1184
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 1: don't sub a ton on defense. Yeah. Um, I just

1185
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,920
Speaker 1: was looking at the snap counts from the game that

1186
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: was here. I didn't look at the other one because

1187
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 1: I think that was such a different game it was

1188
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,959
Speaker 1: not really worth looking back at. Yeah. I mean they're

1189
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,600
Speaker 1: like everybody else. They rotate the defensive lineman a little bit,

1190
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 1: and there was one corner who played you know, like

1191
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 1: ten snaps or something like that. Um, but for the

1192
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: most part, I think they kind of are what they are,

1193
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:47,960
Speaker 1: and they're and they're very like. One of the things

1194
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 1: that they did in the last game that I heard

1195
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 1: a lot of people talking about was, um, they they're

1196
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 1: predominantly a zone team and they played a lot more

1197
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:58,919
Speaker 1: man than the last game. Yeah. Um, yeah. Josh said

1198
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:03,520
Speaker 1: that too this week. Yeah, and I'll take that. I'll

1199
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 1: take that off. Yeah, No, I'll say it on there.

1200
01:03:08,040 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 1: That's why people are saying it because Josh said. But anyway,

1201
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 1: I feel like the fast pace, any wrinkle that you

1202
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: can do, I would be in favor of trying, but

1203
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: also with the understanding of don't be like stunned if

1204
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 1: it's not like a magic elixir. Like I think the

1205
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 1: offense is sort of predicated on running the ball, and

1206
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 1: I think you can go fast if you want, but

1207
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,360
Speaker 1: if you just if you get away from the run,

1208
01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 1: I don't think that's a good thing. Yeah, especially when

1209
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be frigid out and you don't know how

1210
01:03:39,080 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 1: your quarterback's gonna be handling. Thanks, Mike. I think it's

1211
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 1: more about physicality on both sides of the ball than pace. Yeah,

1212
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: And I think even last game with Miami, I think

1213
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 1: there were stretches with Miami's offense where it seemed like

1214
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 1: they were going fast and it seemed that way and

1215
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 1: it really seemed like the Patriots defense were on its heels. Yeah,

1216
01:03:57,200 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, like they didn't know whether it was coming run,

1217
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: our pass or RPO and it just seemed like, you

1218
01:04:03,080 --> 01:04:06,760
Speaker 1: know it, you know, because it was working. It seemed

1219
01:04:06,760 --> 01:04:09,800
Speaker 1: like Miami was really mixing it up well, and you know,

1220
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 1: Patriots didn't know what was going on. Well, that first

1221
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 1: drive it was basically like pass run, pass run, pass run,

1222
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: like it was really mixed. Yeah, and he I think

1223
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: he was seven for seven on that drive. He only

1224
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 1: threw the ball like fifteen more times in the game. Yeah.

1225
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 1: But the other thing about that, did you notice, like

1226
01:04:26,800 --> 01:04:29,280
Speaker 1: in the second half, when the Patriots offense was playing better,

1227
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: they still were running the ball. Yeah, because I don't

1228
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,560
Speaker 1: think that they ever get comfortable just saying we're gonna

1229
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: throw it fifteen twenty plays in a row. I don't

1230
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:42,280
Speaker 1: think that that's I don't think they want to do that. No, No,

1231
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 1: that's I think that's obvious. I mean it just the

1232
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 1: running game's gotta get going. Those two guys. You know,

1233
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 1: A kind of interesting tidbit I didn't really realize. Maybe

1234
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: not that interesting, but Damian Hare's his first playoff game.

1235
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 1: He isn't playing the playoff game yet. Just as an example,

1236
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots ran the ball eight times in the first

1237
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:00,840
Speaker 1: half and threw it fifteen SI if you count the

1238
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:03,120
Speaker 1: sack in the second I mean it ended up with

1239
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:07,240
Speaker 1: twenty seven runs and only fifteen more passes. Like he

1240
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: was fifty he was eight from fifteen in the first half,

1241
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,360
Speaker 1: he ended up twenty for thirty. So even though they

1242
01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: were down, they didn't they kept running because I don't

1243
01:05:13,320 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 1: think they feel comfortable just saying, hey, with down seventeen,

1244
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,440
Speaker 1: Max got to throw with fifty five times today. That's

1245
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 1: the only way. I don't think they think they could

1246
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,000
Speaker 1: do that. Yeah, you just need like one of those

1247
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 1: big explosive runs like Damian Harris had in the first

1248
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 1: one against Buffalo, which I think was such a game changer.

1249
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 1: And those kind of plays are game changes, and that's

1250
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 1: chump like, that's that's what you need and why the

1251
01:05:32,920 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 1: passing game and then right, and that's why for all

1252
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:37,800
Speaker 1: the yards running in the other game that like, aside

1253
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: from that play, it was not really overly effective. Yeah.

1254
01:05:41,920 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 1: Also another tidbit I saw today, Paul that kind of

1255
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:45,280
Speaker 1: backed up what we talked about a little bit. I

1256
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 1: think Romandre was like third in the league in terms

1257
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,440
Speaker 1: of not getting stopped behind getting positive yardage after the

1258
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. So I mean it's it's something that

1259
01:05:53,840 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 1: one of those things where the eyeball test tells yet

1260
01:05:55,560 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: and then you kind of see a stat this yea, yeah,

1261
01:05:57,120 --> 01:06:00,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't get stopped for lost squibs and manage at

1262
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 1: least to get some positive year. Definitely, Mark and Bolton.

1263
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 1: What's up? Mark? Um? Hi Um, Mark and Bolton a

1264
01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 1: proud fifty two years season ticket holder. Paul Yes, Sir, Um,

1265
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:19,120
Speaker 1: would you agree that there has been a passive approach

1266
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 1: by both Josh and Bill on offense and defense and

1267
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: that it may have rubbed off on your players by

1268
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:29,320
Speaker 1: reducing their aggressive distance physicality. Um and I also have

1269
01:06:29,400 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 1: a sort of a solution after after we talked about that, Um,

1270
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 1: what what do you mean by a passive approach? Okay? Um?

1271
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:44,400
Speaker 1: On on offense earl earl, early down, handing off, you know, uh,

1272
01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, sort of like everything just you know, up

1273
01:06:47,880 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: the middle, pitch out, pitch out screens, um, as opposed

1274
01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: to maybe on early downs being a little bit more aggressive,

1275
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, with a y scene or what's fifteen yard digs.

1276
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying deep, I'm just saying something that's up

1277
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 1: the field a little bit dragged. Um. And I do

1278
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 1: think they need yeah, I do think they need to

1279
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 1: throw the ball a little bit more often down the field.

1280
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: I think they've been plenty aggressive with mac Jones. I think,

1281
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,800
Speaker 1: considering they have a rookie quarterback, I think they've thrown

1282
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, I think a proper amount of times.

1283
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I haven't really had many games where I've

1284
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 1: come away saying, Wow, they really just would not let

1285
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 1: them throw. I mean, and they lost. And there's a difference.

1286
01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:34,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm saying games that they lost. Now, there

1287
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 1: were games they threw the ball twenty times that they

1288
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 1: won because they didn't need to throw it anymore than

1289
01:07:38,280 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 1: they did. But I wouldn't look back at a game

1290
01:07:41,200 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 1: plan and say they lost today because they didn't let

1291
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 1: mac Jones throw the ball. I'm not saying that they

1292
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: they're not throwing enough. I'm just saying situationally, early in

1293
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 1: the game. I mean, the passes are getting there because

1294
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: they're losing the games. I mean early on, they're getting

1295
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:59,400
Speaker 1: crushed early on. I think because the other teams are

1296
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 1: stacking the defense. You know, the Colts were to put

1297
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 1: their lap the lousiest cover safety in the box and

1298
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: we you know, you're just getting stuffed earlyer. Right, Yeah,

1299
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 1: But I see but that's where that's where I disagree

1300
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:12,760
Speaker 1: a little bit. Mark. I don't think that they just

1301
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,000
Speaker 1: ran the ball in the first half against Indianapolis, And

1302
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 1: I just showed you stats from the Miami game. They

1303
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 1: threw the ball twice as often as they ran it

1304
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: in the first half of the Miami game and they

1305
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,360
Speaker 1: got nothing to show for it. They didn't they didn't

1306
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 1: do anything with it. So I think part of it.

1307
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: I like your idea of throwing the ball on first

1308
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:32,680
Speaker 1: down early in the game. I had, really I'm on

1309
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 1: board with you on that. I think I mentioned that

1310
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 1: yesterday as a wrinkle that I would like to see.

1311
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:40,680
Speaker 1: Nothing crazy, just something to get him comfortable early in

1312
01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 1: the game. Yeah, you know, a nice play action. We're

1313
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 1: gonna hit Hunter Henry, you know, nine yards or you

1314
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 1: know whatever, and we're going to be in manageable situations.

1315
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:51,479
Speaker 1: We're gonna move the chains early. We're not gonna go

1316
01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:53,680
Speaker 1: three and out in the first drive. And I think

1317
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 1: the best way not to go three and out in

1318
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 1: the first drive is to not hand it off three

1319
01:08:56,880 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 1: times because I think you're gonna be hard pressed defense.

1320
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,160
Speaker 1: And same thing on on the defensive side. You know,

1321
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: at the I was at the Buffalo home game, and um,

1322
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:10,719
Speaker 1: early on, you know, it was just Alan throwing swing

1323
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:13,040
Speaker 1: pass and then dump downs, you know, to you know,

1324
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 1: a little sit down to the backs. And part of

1325
01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: that is that's what that's what they were giving him.

1326
01:09:18,760 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 1: That's what That's what I mean, Like, you can't just

1327
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: like make the guy do things that he can't do.

1328
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:29,599
Speaker 1: That's what he does, right, It's it's it's quick timing,

1329
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 1: it's accurate throws, it's run after catch, that's what they do. Yeah, well,

1330
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 1: he wants to go. He wants to go dat too,

1331
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 1: and I'd like to force him. How do you know

1332
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:44,559
Speaker 1: that he's talking about Alan Josh Allen? Oh, you're talking

1333
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen talking about Josh. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

1334
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 1: I thought I thought were still talking about he was

1335
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,639
Speaker 1: talking about Alan. I'm sorry, my bad. That was completely

1336
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 1: but I thought we were still talking about Mac Jones. No,

1337
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 1: And I think you're you're right marketing, Get comfortable, Yeah,

1338
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:00,120
Speaker 1: get comfortable, and then he and then he just played lights. Oh,

1339
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 1: I mean totally like though, yeah, I think you're right,

1340
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 1: Mark in the sense that you've heard a couple of

1341
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:07,599
Speaker 1: times and jac today kind of echoed it and mentioned

1342
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: yesterday like they were just that Josh Allen was patient

1343
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: and take him what was there. And I think that

1344
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 1: was based on what the guys are kind of saying

1345
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:16,880
Speaker 1: this week. It seems like what we speculate on that

1346
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:19,400
Speaker 1: they want to sit back, make him try to take

1347
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: that stuff downfield and force it and make mistakes was

1348
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 1: what a big part of their game plan was. And

1349
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 1: that's what I think going into this one. Can you

1350
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 1: do that again? Can you just you don't have the

1351
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 1: secondary to hold up for long. I think you gotta

1352
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 1: go get them. Yeah, well, yeah, you have to reduce

1353
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 1: the time that the ball is in his hands. Yeah,

1354
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,680
Speaker 1: you have to do that somehow. Thanks Mark, You know

1355
01:10:39,120 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 1: you can't cover forever. Yeah, I mean I saw I

1356
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 1: didn't read I didn't read up a dar Road today,

1357
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:45,759
Speaker 1: but I just saw him tweet that was you know, essentially,

1358
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 1: Judeon's got to get on track if the Patriots have

1359
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 1: any hope. And I agree, I think him and Barmore,

1360
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 1: I think those guys just have to have big games

1361
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: where they're dominant, disruptive guys and they take Allen out

1362
01:10:55,520 --> 01:10:57,639
Speaker 1: of his game early and then they're able to close

1363
01:10:57,680 --> 01:10:59,200
Speaker 1: them out late. Once he kind of gets a rhythm

1364
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:00,559
Speaker 1: towards the end of the game, they start to make

1365
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 1: their push as they are want to do. You know,

1366
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 1: I just keep thinking, you know, the Patriots were competitive

1367
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:10,599
Speaker 1: in that last game against Buffalo, right, I keep going

1368
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:15,439
Speaker 1: back to that fourth one, the game here, game here. Yeah,

1369
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: I think Mike just described what they did, like hanging

1370
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:23,160
Speaker 1: on by us, but they were never really a threat.

1371
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 1: I keep going, I don't know. I mean, it was

1372
01:11:25,840 --> 01:11:28,760
Speaker 1: twenty six, twenty one, I think it. But and the

1373
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 1: ball and J C. Jackson if he makes that catch,

1374
01:11:31,760 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 1: I know, you know, but right, But what I'm saying

1375
01:11:34,600 --> 01:11:38,200
Speaker 1: is like, I'm not expecting a blowout. Can we all

1376
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: agree on that? Yeah? I evidently might can. Actually, I

1377
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 1: think anything can happen, I really do. I don't. I

1378
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 1: think the Patriots can win a nail biter or they'll lose.

1379
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 1: Those are the two options. I was just that I

1380
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 1: think the Patriots are gonna blow them out. No, but

1381
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:56,240
Speaker 1: I would just say the Buffalo wins could be close

1382
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 1: or buy not close. I think those are the three options.

1383
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 1: Patriots squeak it out. Yeah, but I don't think that

1384
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 1: that game here was overly competitive. I know that they

1385
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 1: had a chance at the end to get the ball back.

1386
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 1: But I mean, right, Buffalo would have had to do

1387
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 1: something at the end of the game that they hadn't

1388
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 1: done the entire game. Yeah, I mean, and it's it's

1389
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:19,600
Speaker 1: classic Patriots. They were on the edge. They had a

1390
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 1: brief fighting the fight. That's that's the Patriots. You're not

1391
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 1: going to kill him, you know. I go back to

1392
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 1: that game and I just keep thinking of that fourth

1393
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:31,880
Speaker 1: and one play where Collins lined up outside and they

1394
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 1: needed that someone to make a play and if they

1395
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,320
Speaker 1: get okay, he's the guy that could do it, and

1396
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:40,439
Speaker 1: he just missed. And and that's the thing. You have

1397
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: to make that play. You have to make that play.

1398
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,479
Speaker 1: And you know what the Bills say, we have to

1399
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 1: make that play in our I know, I know this

1400
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen. That's what he does that makes him him,

1401
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 1: you know, JC Jackson dove and I don't know what

1402
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:59,200
Speaker 1: Collins what he was doing. Colin got Collins got juked. Yeah,

1403
01:12:59,240 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 1: and then Jackson missed the tackle. And then after he

1404
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:05,520
Speaker 1: missed the tackle, he actually ran into Collins. Yeah. Exacerbated

1405
01:13:05,640 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 1: by that time out at that time he had the

1406
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 1: first time U Sean's in Vancouver. Hey, Sean. Hey, guys

1407
01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 1: during the Miami game, both Henry and Myers made these

1408
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: really nice catches. They were open, but they leaped and

1409
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 1: dautiful catches. Yeah. Yeah. The announcers on the national broadcast,

1410
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:30,720
Speaker 1: let's they said, oh, those were perfectly thrown balls. But

1411
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:32,519
Speaker 1: I don't I don't agree. I mean, if it was

1412
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:36,040
Speaker 1: perfectly it's throne wouldn't be better. Yeah. I heard the

1413
01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:38,439
Speaker 1: same thing, and I thought the same thing as you.

1414
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 1: They weren't perfectly thrown. I mean they were in a

1415
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,600
Speaker 1: place where only one guy. They were good thrown, you know,

1416
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 1: but they had to extend. I mean they could continue

1417
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 1: after right, right. Yeah, they weren't perfect. A couple of

1418
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,200
Speaker 1: those Browns throws were perfect, I think, and those were

1419
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 1: right in the bucket, got out of bounds like it's

1420
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 1: just in stride. Yeah, I mean I don't know. I

1421
01:13:58,560 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 1: would look at it as the guys you're throw into

1422
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 1: like do they need to do? You know? Is that

1423
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 1: what was necessary or is that I don't know. I

1424
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 1: thought they were really good throws, especially the one to Myers. Yeah,

1425
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 1: I mean it was a great catch, but a great

1426
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:19,439
Speaker 1: throw too. And Paul, I also agree with you in

1427
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 1: regards to the start. I really love to be a

1428
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:25,120
Speaker 1: play auction to Henry on the first first place, especially

1429
01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 1: if they bring in like one of those eligible linemen

1430
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:31,519
Speaker 1: and it looks like they're really going to run seventy

1431
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:35,560
Speaker 1: one reporting. I don't like it as much doing okay,

1432
01:14:35,920 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean, I just want to throw the ball.

1433
01:14:38,400 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to try to trick anybody. I just

1434
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:42,639
Speaker 1: want to say I have faith in my quarterback. I'm

1435
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:45,320
Speaker 1: gonna let you play this game. Like I don't need

1436
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:49,559
Speaker 1: to write and like I'm not trying to say, like Mac,

1437
01:14:50,000 --> 01:14:51,439
Speaker 1: I think you might be able to make this play

1438
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:53,800
Speaker 1: if we set it up by doing this, this and this, Like,

1439
01:14:54,040 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 1: don't pay attention to any of that. But because we

1440
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,840
Speaker 1: have faith in you know, just I want him to

1441
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: get it and get into the game. Yeah. And Mac

1442
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:04,599
Speaker 1: needs to have confidence in himself. He needs to get

1443
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 1: rid of the ball on time. Yeah, get a little

1444
01:15:06,840 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 1: momentum gone and get a little confidence. And this defense

1445
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:13,280
Speaker 1: has given the Patriots offense problems now throughout the entirety

1446
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:16,800
Speaker 1: of the McDermott era. And it's been with Brady, it's

1447
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:19,080
Speaker 1: been with Cam and and now it's been with Max.

1448
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:21,720
Speaker 1: So there's something about the way they play defense that

1449
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots offense their system has yet to figure out. Yeah,

1450
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,919
Speaker 1: good fast defense. What is it? Three touchdowns? Four touchdowns,

1451
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:32,880
Speaker 1: seven interceptions and the whatever many years that McDermott's been there,

1452
01:15:33,080 --> 01:15:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, Poyer and Hide big part of it, I think,

1453
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 1: and good players, you know. Yeah, it's just every time

1454
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:45,479
Speaker 1: you time upfront, Jerry Hughes and guys like that. Yeah,

1455
01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:47,320
Speaker 1: and they don't get a ton of sacks, but they

1456
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: do get pressure. Yeah. Well, I think there's something appealing

1457
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 1: about their defense in that it's it's not an overthought defense.

1458
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 1: It's a fast we do what we do. We have

1459
01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 1: some weaknesses, but we're not going to spend every week

1460
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:02,120
Speaker 1: trying to reinvent the wheel. We're going to just do

1461
01:16:02,160 --> 01:16:03,639
Speaker 1: what we do when we when we when we don't

1462
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:05,160
Speaker 1: have at certain games, we're not going to have it.

1463
01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 1: But you know, it's just it's something with the Patriots,

1464
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:09,679
Speaker 1: which of course you respect, like the game plan approach

1465
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:11,840
Speaker 1: and all that, but I always you know, circle around

1466
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 1: that stuff of like do you put too much on

1467
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 1: these guys? Do they are? They are? They so wrapped

1468
01:16:16,479 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 1: up with seventeen different game plans that they've had, you know,

1469
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,760
Speaker 1: that hard mentally, that down mental load of each week

1470
01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 1: having to kind of start from scratch. I have to

1471
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:28,720
Speaker 1: think it is, right, yeah, I mean like reset every week,

1472
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 1: you know where probably goes into every game like all right,

1473
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:33,800
Speaker 1: all right, you know this is what they do, and

1474
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:35,639
Speaker 1: we're gonna do what we do and let's let's attack

1475
01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 1: it with our strength. It's probably a healthy balance between

1476
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:41,639
Speaker 1: the two. Yeah, you know that. I mean, you don't

1477
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:44,880
Speaker 1: necessarily have to do every week and something completely and

1478
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 1: let's be fair, all right and an objective. Right now,

1479
01:16:48,439 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots offense doesn't seem to be the toughest team

1480
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 1: to gain plan against, right. I mean, it's Matt right,

1481
01:16:55,479 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 1: he's a rookie like running. That's why I brought up

1482
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:01,479
Speaker 1: the fact that it was Brady, it was Cam and

1483
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 1: it's now. It's not this is not just about now,

1484
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:06,200
Speaker 1: right Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I think the thing

1485
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 1: that's hard about the Patriots offense is that in this

1486
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 1: age where everything is that sucks or it's amazing, it's

1487
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: like they're an average offense. And I think it's hard

1488
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:18,599
Speaker 1: for people to kind of like the automatic top five.

1489
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 1: Statistically in terms of points, they're much better than now,

1490
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:27,639
Speaker 1: but we all know. Yeah, it's skewed. Ye, we all

1491
01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:29,880
Speaker 1: know how those points came to be. Um, you know,

1492
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,600
Speaker 1: a lot of pick six is a lot of you know,

1493
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 1: piling it up against a couple of you know, vastly

1494
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:39,000
Speaker 1: inferior opponents, right, but they're inconsistent. And you know, Mac

1495
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:41,080
Speaker 1: he was. He was good this year. He was an

1496
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:43,680
Speaker 1: average NFL quarterback, which I think last year at this

1497
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 1: time anybody would have said, hey, I'll take average for

1498
01:17:46,200 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 1: a rookie. Didn't have average quarterback play last year. I

1499
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:51,839
Speaker 1: had below average now, but it's hard when it's not amazing.

1500
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:55,360
Speaker 1: And difference, the difference you get with the addition of

1501
01:17:56,400 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 1: UM personnel. I mean, they have more talent, no question,

1502
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:02,280
Speaker 1: they have more talent on the roster right now than

1503
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 1: they did last year. And it was worth two and

1504
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:07,240
Speaker 1: a half games. Yeah right, you won three more games

1505
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 1: and you lost two less Yep, Yeah, that's the difference

1506
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:14,559
Speaker 1: drew In Pennsylvania. The fan side of me is excited

1507
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 1: that the Patriots are in the playoffs, so we can

1508
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 1: see how some of the new players fair in an

1509
01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: elimination game. However, if they lose, I'm not sure how

1510
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:24,720
Speaker 1: I feel about the season. Would you guys, rather have

1511
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,800
Speaker 1: this season end like it's looking one and four in

1512
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 1: the last five games, or would you rather have gone

1513
01:18:31,040 --> 01:18:33,840
Speaker 1: six and eleven going four and one in the last

1514
01:18:33,880 --> 01:18:36,800
Speaker 1: five games. I'll take this, Yeah, I would too. Yeah,

1515
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 1: you're in the playoffs. I mean you need the kid

1516
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:42,760
Speaker 1: to get some playoff experience, and the sooner the better. Yeah.

1517
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:44,760
Speaker 1: I think the more boxes you check off, the better

1518
01:18:44,800 --> 01:18:47,640
Speaker 1: it is. Drew thinks I think drafting closer to the

1519
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,759
Speaker 1: top and trending up might be more encouraging than trending

1520
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 1: down to end the season. Yeah. I understand his point.

1521
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:55,599
Speaker 1: I just I think that the more things that you

1522
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:59,680
Speaker 1: can get Mac Jones experience and will serve him better. Yea.

1523
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 1: And not to mention another game against Buffalo. I mean

1524
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:04,360
Speaker 1: you talked about how tough this Buffalo defense has been, Like,

1525
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 1: at some point, if you want to get back a top,

1526
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to knock these guys off in some capacity.

1527
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:11,800
Speaker 1: So it's I mean, yes, playoff experience is great, but

1528
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 1: I think it's just another really good defense and a

1529
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 1: really good challenge for a rookie quarterback. James Pettigrew, the

1530
01:19:16,760 --> 01:19:20,880
Speaker 1: most interesting Patriots fan in the world, writes in hypothetical question,

1531
01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:23,879
Speaker 1: what if rookie Matt Jones came in for an injured

1532
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:26,920
Speaker 1: Brady and O, wait, from what you've seen this season,

1533
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:29,559
Speaker 1: would he have had a better or worse season than

1534
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 1: Matt Castle? Huh, that's a good question. If Mac came in,

1535
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 1: would Mac have been better than Castle than A wait,

1536
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 1: with Randy Mouston Welker. Probably Matt Castle was better than

1537
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:47,720
Speaker 1: Matt Castle. I don't think. I don't think so, no,

1538
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:50,840
Speaker 1: because I mean, I mean, Castle did have a few

1539
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 1: years experience in the in the offense to eat even

1540
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 1: as a backup bus stats too, I mean I think

1541
01:19:55,439 --> 01:19:57,400
Speaker 1: I think that would be through for four hundred yards

1542
01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 1: of back to back games. Yeah, Castle had a really

1543
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 1: good year, right. Castle was a mobile quarterback. Don't forget

1544
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 1: he made some plays with his feet. He was a

1545
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: good athlete. People forgot about that too. I think, Oh yeah,

1546
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 1: Now I think that the ceiling for Mac Jones is

1547
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:16,759
Speaker 1: much higher than Matt Castle. I think, yeah, I probably

1548
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 1: think he'll be a better player than Matt Castle was.

1549
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:22,920
Speaker 1: But that particular year, don't forget it was Castle's fourth year.

1550
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 1: That's yeah, yeah, that's what I just said. You know,

1551
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 1: he was heads experience in the offense probably played at

1552
01:20:27,479 --> 01:20:30,120
Speaker 1: least what fifteen playoff game, I mean in preseason games,

1553
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 1: and he played and he played well that season, like

1554
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:36,719
Speaker 1: I yeah, I mean obviously they had Welker and Moss

1555
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:39,760
Speaker 1: like that's enormous. That's what's just fun to think about

1556
01:20:39,880 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: is imagining what Mac would do with two Paul Timers.

1557
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:48,559
Speaker 1: Cody writes in and Indiana. I know Bolden's been pretty solid,

1558
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:51,639
Speaker 1: but how much do you think this offense missus James White?

1559
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:55,120
Speaker 1: Considering Max seems to be quick to go to the checkdown.

1560
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 1: Do you think we'd be better about on the offense

1561
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:00,479
Speaker 1: if James White was on the receiver the end of

1562
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:03,559
Speaker 1: those short checked downs in screens. I mean Bolden's been,

1563
01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:05,639
Speaker 1: I mean bold has been much better than I thought.

1564
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 1: He's made a lot more players than I thought he

1565
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:09,640
Speaker 1: was gonna make. He's broken a lot more tackle than

1566
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 1: I thought he would. That said, I still think James

1567
01:21:11,400 --> 01:21:13,519
Speaker 1: White is excellent, and I think Mac had a good

1568
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 1: chemistry with him and had some of his best throws.

1569
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:17,519
Speaker 1: And I don't Yeah, my short answer is, I don't

1570
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:20,480
Speaker 1: really know, because I would never have thought that Bolden

1571
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:22,240
Speaker 1: would be as productive as he's been. And I don't

1572
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:26,400
Speaker 1: know that White, at this stage of his career, would

1573
01:21:26,439 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 1: have done a fair point, would have done any better.

1574
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:31,120
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't know. Yeah, I mean there's no

1575
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:34,479
Speaker 1: comparison between the two players. But I mean I don't

1576
01:21:34,479 --> 01:21:36,080
Speaker 1: know that White could have done much more than what

1577
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 1: Bolden's done. I mean, there's been a lot of players

1578
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:42,000
Speaker 1: that he's like. White would have broken that tackle. White

1579
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:44,360
Speaker 1: would have made that guy missed. I think Bolden's made

1580
01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:47,960
Speaker 1: guys miss to get first downs. All he's been would

1581
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:49,880
Speaker 1: have had that that touchdown last week, that first one

1582
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:51,599
Speaker 1: he had where he kind of did and then danced

1583
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:54,040
Speaker 1: and ran. I mean, yeah, that was a nice play.

1584
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:57,040
Speaker 1: You know. I love me some James White, you know that. Yeah,

1585
01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 1: sweet feet. I think Um bold most of his plays

1586
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:04,639
Speaker 1: start closer to the line of scrimmage. James White can

1587
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 1: get a little deeper. He can get into that second

1588
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 1: level a little bit better. I think he can kind

1589
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 1: of run that swing out and I mean we saw

1590
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 1: a couple of those, we saw one of those two. Yeah,

1591
01:22:16,160 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 1: but no, like Paul said, nobody expected Bolden to do

1592
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:22,679
Speaker 1: what he's doing. He's definitely maybe he's not James White,

1593
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 1: but he's definitely lessened the loss. Yeah, he's picked up

1594
01:22:26,280 --> 01:22:32,599
Speaker 1: some big first downs, some touchdowns. Yeah. Absolutely, Jean and Ottawa. Jean,

1595
01:22:33,640 --> 01:22:36,800
Speaker 1: I was watching a war documentary last night and the

1596
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 1: narrator said that it's an old saying about war that

1597
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:42,920
Speaker 1: no plan survives for his contact with the enemy. He

1598
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:46,040
Speaker 1: went on to explain that it's how an army adapts

1599
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 1: in combat that often makes the difference. Two questions for

1600
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:52,080
Speaker 1: the group. One do you consider this year's team better

1601
01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:55,599
Speaker 1: than average at making in game adjustments? And two do

1602
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 1: you think this will be a key to victory for

1603
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: either team? I don't. I mean, I think it's one

1604
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 1: of my biggest criticisms of this team just overall. And

1605
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't pin it all on coaching adjustments,

1606
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:09,640
Speaker 1: but I just think this team hasn't really shown an

1607
01:23:09,680 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 1: ability to shift gears when they're not playing well, to

1608
01:23:12,560 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 1: flip the script. You know, Wow, all of a sudden,

1609
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 1: we were terrible in the first half, they came out,

1610
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:18,680
Speaker 1: they were great in a second. They always make a push,

1611
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:21,760
Speaker 1: but I never feel like it's enough to really take

1612
01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:24,160
Speaker 1: control of the game. And I think that's been one

1613
01:23:24,160 --> 01:23:25,640
Speaker 1: of the biggest problems. And it's why I think if

1614
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: the Patriots lose this game, you know what it's gonna

1615
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 1: look like. I mean, it's not like Buffalo is gonna

1616
01:23:30,040 --> 01:23:31,639
Speaker 1: run out to a lead and the Patriots are gonna,

1617
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 1: you know, go back. I mean, it's it's gonna look

1618
01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 1: like they've all looked right. And it is an interesting

1619
01:23:36,120 --> 01:23:39,080
Speaker 1: point because there's no there's nothing to quantify it, but

1620
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 1: you kind of feel it. And you know, like when

1621
01:23:42,479 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 1: you're talking about those three comebacks, right Indie, Buffalo and

1622
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:48,720
Speaker 1: now Miami. I agree with the way you just said it.

1623
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:50,799
Speaker 1: They made runs, but I never felt like the Patriots

1624
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 1: were in control of the game. Like contrast that to

1625
01:23:54,280 --> 01:23:57,559
Speaker 1: like Atlanta in the twenty eight to three Super Bowl,

1626
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:01,760
Speaker 1: Like when High Tower Strips sacked the guy, they were

1627
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 1: still down two scores, but everybody in the stadium something

1628
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 1: just changed, Like you felt it. It changed. Now, maybe

1629
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:12,280
Speaker 1: part of that was because Atlanta was just not tough

1630
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:14,880
Speaker 1: enough to just say, hey we still we still got

1631
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:17,600
Speaker 1: to school lead here. You know, we're still okay, And

1632
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: maybe that was why. But I didn't get the feeling

1633
01:24:21,479 --> 01:24:23,519
Speaker 1: that Atlanta was going to be able to go down

1634
01:24:24,240 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 1: and do what they needed to do. When the Patriots

1635
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 1: made that run, they actually did, but they blew it.

1636
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:32,160
Speaker 1: I never they were in field though, Yeah, but I

1637
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 1: didn't up just telling you how I felt before that

1638
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 1: drive happened. Now they were going to prove me wrong, right,

1639
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:39,960
Speaker 1: that the Julio Jones catchup was going to prove me wrong? Yeah?

1640
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: But I conversely never really felt like the Patriots were

1641
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:46,599
Speaker 1: going to stop the Colts, the Bills, or the Dolphins

1642
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:49,840
Speaker 1: on Sunday. I never felt like momentum had changed in

1643
01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:54,600
Speaker 1: any of those three games. No Christian writes in from Colorado.

1644
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:56,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what to be more worried about moving

1645
01:24:56,840 --> 01:25:00,320
Speaker 1: forward our offense not starting out fast fifty sent of

1646
01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:03,879
Speaker 1: the time, then making a second half comeback and not finishing.

1647
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 1: And the same goes for the defense. Do you all agree,

1648
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 1: in your opinion on a scale of one to ten,

1649
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:12,040
Speaker 1: how worried are you for this third Bills matchup? Me,

1650
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:14,760
Speaker 1: I'm sitting at a six for the reasons above. I

1651
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:17,599
Speaker 1: have no idea if they're gonna be good or bad

1652
01:25:17,840 --> 01:25:20,760
Speaker 1: in the game. When they have started fast, they've won.

1653
01:25:20,840 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 1: When they've started slow, they've always put up a fight,

1654
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:25,639
Speaker 1: at least in the offense. At least the offense has

1655
01:25:25,960 --> 01:25:28,320
Speaker 1: the d is what worries me the most. They don't

1656
01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:38,639
Speaker 1: step up in these situations. Where's my concern for Sunday Saturday? Yeah, yeah,

1657
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,720
Speaker 1: it's uh. I go back and forth because there's part

1658
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 1: of me that wants to believe that Devin mccordy and

1659
01:25:44,320 --> 01:25:47,120
Speaker 1: Dante Higtower and Jamie Collins and Kyle Van Noy are

1660
01:25:47,160 --> 01:25:50,400
Speaker 1: going to come out and finally knock off the nonsense

1661
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 1: and play play how we kind of have expected them

1662
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:55,880
Speaker 1: to play in the past. That might be foolish to

1663
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,080
Speaker 1: hope for that because I don't know what we've really

1664
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:00,720
Speaker 1: seen from them in clutch situations. Got to have a

1665
01:26:00,840 --> 01:26:04,479
Speaker 1: games playoff games two years ago against the Titans. Um.

1666
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:07,519
Speaker 1: But you know, it's it's it's a it's a it's

1667
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 1: a narrow ledge like I mean, it's a couple of

1668
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:12,320
Speaker 1: plays like you know, So there's that's the big question.

1669
01:26:13,280 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 1: Are they not playing well or is the other team better?

1670
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:19,840
Speaker 1: Like that's the big question that you just don't know.

1671
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:22,920
Speaker 1: It could be both, Yeah, because I don't know that

1672
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:25,760
Speaker 1: the defense is not playing well lately. This just might

1673
01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:28,080
Speaker 1: be who they just might be playing some offenses that

1674
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:29,680
Speaker 1: can move the ball that they didn't see in that

1675
01:26:29,720 --> 01:26:32,719
Speaker 1: seven game winning streak. Yeah, And even if that's true,

1676
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 1: you know, I still think that they just have some

1677
01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:38,280
Speaker 1: key moments where you know, it only takes a couple

1678
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 1: stops to you know, maybe flip the script a little bit,

1679
01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:43,639
Speaker 1: and just even those have been have been hard. So

1680
01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:46,360
Speaker 1: we'll see what these guys are. But I mean, part

1681
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:48,880
Speaker 1: of me feels like this very well could be the

1682
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:50,920
Speaker 1: kind of last hurrah for a lot of these guys

1683
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:53,559
Speaker 1: that were championship players here and you know, how are

1684
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 1: they going to go out? What is their legacy going

1685
01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 1: to be? Is it gonna because you couldn't get you

1686
01:26:57,120 --> 01:26:59,240
Speaker 1: couldn't stop Josh Allen and you know your patriots are

1687
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:00,920
Speaker 1: up late and he couldn't get that one stopped like

1688
01:27:00,960 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 1: they usually could, or you know, do they have something

1689
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 1: left in the tank? Right? And I don't you know,

1690
01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:08,639
Speaker 1: certainly wouldn't expect Buffalo to not punt like they did

1691
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:10,439
Speaker 1: the last game. You know, I would think they would

1692
01:27:10,439 --> 01:27:13,080
Speaker 1: be you know, a little bit different than that. But

1693
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:17,679
Speaker 1: you know, I thought the defense they stopped Miami into

1694
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:20,360
Speaker 1: three and out in the fourth quarter when they had

1695
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, when one of the times then they couldn't

1696
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:26,240
Speaker 1: do it again and they stopped Indianapolis. Now, the Indianapolis

1697
01:27:26,240 --> 01:27:28,360
Speaker 1: one was less of a stop. I think Indie did

1698
01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:30,200
Speaker 1: what they wanted to do. They took like five and

1699
01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:33,640
Speaker 1: a half minutes off the clock. But bottom line is

1700
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:35,840
Speaker 1: they didn't give up any more points there on that drive,

1701
01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 1: and then they gave themselves a chance. Like I said,

1702
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 1: I don't think Buffalo is just going to run rough

1703
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:42,960
Speaker 1: shot and not punt like they did the last But

1704
01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:46,160
Speaker 1: I have to be honest, if if this defense was

1705
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 1: as good as I thought it was going to be

1706
01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season, they'd be hosting this game,

1707
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:55,519
Speaker 1: you know. But it's like, how much better like they do?

1708
01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:57,600
Speaker 1: You know? They were like the top scoring defense in

1709
01:27:57,600 --> 01:28:00,519
Speaker 1: football until the last week of the season. Yeah, but

1710
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, you know it when you see it. Yeah,

1711
01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:05,679
Speaker 1: this is a classic team where the stats don't really

1712
01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of stats out there that I agree

1713
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 1: with everything you guys are saying, But the bottom line

1714
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:12,400
Speaker 1: is they allowed fewer points than everybody else in football

1715
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:15,600
Speaker 1: except for the team that they're playing on Saturday. And

1716
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:18,479
Speaker 1: the difference is the team you're playing on Saturday allowed

1717
01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:21,760
Speaker 1: ten and you allowed thirty three. That's that's why you

1718
01:28:21,880 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 1: switched spots. Because they were two when we were one. Um,

1719
01:28:25,960 --> 01:28:27,680
Speaker 1: and I get it. I don't think that this is

1720
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 1: like the fifteen Broncos or the two thousand Ravens or

1721
01:28:32,040 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 1: anything like that. But in this day and age and

1722
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:38,759
Speaker 1: this climate, they've been as effective as any defense in football.

1723
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:41,439
Speaker 1: But it's not but it's not been enough. But not

1724
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:45,439
Speaker 1: enough for a team with a rookie quarterback. You know

1725
01:28:45,920 --> 01:28:48,760
Speaker 1: that we all thought that that's why the running game

1726
01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:51,120
Speaker 1: and the defense that was going to carry this team.

1727
01:28:51,240 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 1: And it has and I have and I think it has,

1728
01:28:53,479 --> 01:28:55,960
Speaker 1: but not quite enough. They also need to That's what

1729
01:28:56,000 --> 01:28:58,559
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Is it not playing well enough or not

1730
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:00,800
Speaker 1: being good enough? Yeah, yeah, right, I think it's a

1731
01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:02,680
Speaker 1: little bit of a question. And then they have to

1732
01:29:02,720 --> 01:29:05,719
Speaker 1: find a way not to sleepwalk through the first half

1733
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:07,680
Speaker 1: of this game like they have because I think for

1734
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 1: one out of the past four games, the crap that

1735
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:13,200
Speaker 1: we all talked about in August, for once has exactly

1736
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:16,040
Speaker 1: unfolded the way we said, Like, it is a team

1737
01:29:16,080 --> 01:29:18,720
Speaker 1: that's relied on running the ball and playing defense, and

1738
01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:20,760
Speaker 1: when they get a lead early in the game, that

1739
01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:25,440
Speaker 1: defense becomes better. Yeah, they need that confidence boost. Conversely,

1740
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:27,720
Speaker 1: when they don't allow a touchdown immediately in the game.

1741
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:32,360
Speaker 1: The running game has been better. Yeah, you know, uh,

1742
01:29:32,520 --> 01:29:35,519
Speaker 1: Travis and West Virginia. It's my understanding that Ian Eagle,

1743
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:39,600
Speaker 1: are I an Eagle? And Charles Davis are calling the

1744
01:29:39,640 --> 01:29:42,600
Speaker 1: game Saturday night. I'll have to emotionally prepare myself for

1745
01:29:42,680 --> 01:29:45,960
Speaker 1: that on CBS. How do you guys feel in general

1746
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 1: about the overly excited broadcasters such as Eagle. Seems to

1747
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:51,679
Speaker 1: be a rash of them these days, which I find

1748
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 1: to be contrived. I don't give them anything. They don't

1749
01:29:57,720 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 1: do anything for me. I'm more just listening to Paul Hardy,

1750
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:05,240
Speaker 1: Matt Lapan, not necessarily in that order. Wow, um or

1751
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:10,479
Speaker 1: equally um. Yeah, it could be Iron Eagle, it could

1752
01:30:10,520 --> 01:30:12,960
Speaker 1: be Joe Smith. I think they're all exactly the same,

1753
01:30:12,960 --> 01:30:14,840
Speaker 1: and they all sound exactly the same. They were all

1754
01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:19,080
Speaker 1: trained exactly the same at Syracuse. Um. They just mass

1755
01:30:19,160 --> 01:30:22,080
Speaker 1: produced them all, and every once in a while there's

1756
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:24,479
Speaker 1: an al Michaels who sticks out and becomes a legend

1757
01:30:24,479 --> 01:30:28,160
Speaker 1: because he's that much better. As much as I personally

1758
01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:32,160
Speaker 1: do not care for Jim Nance, I think his career

1759
01:30:32,360 --> 01:30:35,519
Speaker 1: is you know, yeah, he's a at the top. Bob Costas.

1760
01:30:35,560 --> 01:30:40,280
Speaker 1: Hello friends. Um, you know Joe Joe buck On on Fox.

1761
01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:44,680
Speaker 1: I mean these guys stand out. Alan Is, there's a

1762
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:49,439
Speaker 1: list of about another twenty that are exactly the same. Yeah. Um,

1763
01:30:49,479 --> 01:30:53,400
Speaker 1: A very pleasant good afternoon to you all, Josh and Hatfield,

1764
01:30:53,400 --> 01:30:57,639
Speaker 1: Mass health provided. I'm hoping that Barmar has a monster game.

1765
01:30:57,720 --> 01:31:00,839
Speaker 1: In my reasoning is his best game in college probably

1766
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:03,639
Speaker 1: came in the championship game with his motor. I see

1767
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:05,280
Speaker 1: him as a guy who puts one hundred and ten

1768
01:31:05,320 --> 01:31:08,280
Speaker 1: percent in when needed most. In your opinion, do you

1769
01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:11,520
Speaker 1: think a college championship like that can be a comparison

1770
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:16,240
Speaker 1: to a playoff game? No, No, maybe not at the level.

1771
01:31:16,280 --> 01:31:19,920
Speaker 1: But I'm hoping like he's got a second chance at

1772
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 1: life and now he's going to go out there play

1773
01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:23,559
Speaker 1: like Oh, I mean, I mean that could be, but

1774
01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:26,639
Speaker 1: I mean, but I think I think there's college it's

1775
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:28,880
Speaker 1: not the same. But in terms of the atmosphere, yeah,

1776
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:33,400
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, absolutely, that was electric of course, especially

1777
01:31:33,439 --> 01:31:36,160
Speaker 1: the national championship game. Yeah, there's got to be a

1778
01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:38,439
Speaker 1: little bit of carry or nothing like a playoff game.

1779
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:41,120
Speaker 1: And you like the speed of a play I'm just

1780
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:43,840
Speaker 1: going by them. I never played I'm just listening to

1781
01:31:43,840 --> 01:31:46,120
Speaker 1: the player. I don't think they talk about the difference

1782
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:49,840
Speaker 1: in the speed intensity playoff football over regular season. I

1783
01:31:49,880 --> 01:31:53,000
Speaker 1: think we're talking about other regular season dwarfs college. Well,

1784
01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:55,160
Speaker 1: I know, but I and I think that overall the

1785
01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:59,360
Speaker 1: speed of the NFL dwarfs. But I think that when

1786
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:01,840
Speaker 1: it comes to just be dealing with h Yeah, I

1787
01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:03,880
Speaker 1: think you're as jacked up for that as you are

1788
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:07,040
Speaker 1: for an NFL playoff game. Yeah. I think the experience helps.

1789
01:32:07,400 --> 01:32:09,360
Speaker 1: So are you telling me that any big game that

1790
01:32:09,400 --> 01:32:12,360
Speaker 1: you would play and would be similar? Yeah, like to

1791
01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:16,240
Speaker 1: that level in college, not like it, you know level. Well,

1792
01:32:16,240 --> 01:32:19,200
Speaker 1: if we're not talking about the actual play, we're just

1793
01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:22,840
Speaker 1: talking about your mindset. Yeah yeah, yeah, Okay, you're consistent.

1794
01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:26,720
Speaker 1: So like your high school championship game. Yeah, yeah, absolutely,

1795
01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:29,920
Speaker 1: it's the same. I would Okay, No, you guys sold

1796
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying now. It's a total mental thing.

1797
01:32:32,479 --> 01:32:34,679
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah right. I can I share a quote

1798
01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:39,800
Speaker 1: I think is topical from Team Survives Contact with It. No,

1799
01:32:40,240 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 1: I really liked I put this for the notebook today,

1800
01:32:42,520 --> 01:32:44,960
Speaker 1: but this was from Ivan Fears earlier this week about

1801
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:47,920
Speaker 1: just the playoff intensity. Everything on the field goes up

1802
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:49,800
Speaker 1: and notch. The intensity of the game is up and notch.

1803
01:32:49,880 --> 01:32:51,519
Speaker 1: Nobody on the football field is going to be taking

1804
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:53,479
Speaker 1: a break. You've got to know that not one son

1805
01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 1: of a gun's gonna be looking to take a break.

1806
01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:57,640
Speaker 1: You're going to hack to get everything you've got on

1807
01:32:57,760 --> 01:33:00,240
Speaker 1: every play. Guys that have never been in that atmosphere

1808
01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:02,439
Speaker 1: sometimes they're kind of caught by surprise how intense the

1809
01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:05,280
Speaker 1: game is, well, every every game, which you know how

1810
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:07,640
Speaker 1: I feel. Do you know what the National Championship game

1811
01:33:07,800 --> 01:33:13,000
Speaker 1: was for Alabama? Just another game? Onday track me like,

1812
01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:16,240
Speaker 1: as opposed to every week in the SEC. Like to me,

1813
01:33:16,360 --> 01:33:18,640
Speaker 1: I don't really, I don't look at the differences in

1814
01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:22,640
Speaker 1: those games for those teams that play in that like

1815
01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:27,160
Speaker 1: ridiculous atmosphere every week. Yeah, yeah, I have to think

1816
01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:29,559
Speaker 1: there is say something a little bit bigger about a

1817
01:33:29,680 --> 01:33:33,880
Speaker 1: national championship or a playoff game in college. It's bigger

1818
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:36,080
Speaker 1: than a regular season game because if you lose, you

1819
01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:39,040
Speaker 1: go home, you go and then you're done, you go home.

1820
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:42,240
Speaker 1: Rash from Saint Louis Looking back, what are the high

1821
01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:45,080
Speaker 1: and low points of the regular season? High, as obvious

1822
01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:47,519
Speaker 1: the bye week when the Patriots were number one in

1823
01:33:47,560 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 1: the AFC. That's awful. Low point is more interesting. How

1824
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:54,600
Speaker 1: could you you could say now is the lowest we

1825
01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:57,400
Speaker 1: felt about the team. I would go with the first

1826
01:33:57,479 --> 01:34:00,479
Speaker 1: drive in the third against the Texans, when Mack through

1827
01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:03,840
Speaker 1: that pick and the team was down two scores against Houston. Yeah,

1828
01:34:03,920 --> 01:34:06,760
Speaker 1: and I agree. I wrote it. I said this is

1829
01:34:06,760 --> 01:34:08,439
Speaker 1: the lowest point of the season. I think that I

1830
01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:10,760
Speaker 1: wrote it. I think that's a really really good low point.

1831
01:34:10,840 --> 01:34:13,559
Speaker 1: I wrote it at the time. Yep, Yeah, I agree.

1832
01:34:13,640 --> 01:34:15,479
Speaker 1: And it could have gotten lower because it looked like

1833
01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:18,200
Speaker 1: there was a chance, right, And it could have gotten

1834
01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:21,200
Speaker 1: lower if the punter from the Texans didn't hit his

1835
01:34:21,200 --> 01:34:23,720
Speaker 1: own player in the back of the helmet. Yeah. If

1836
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:26,400
Speaker 1: they lost that, they come back, I don't think we'd

1837
01:34:26,400 --> 01:34:29,720
Speaker 1: be talking about being in the playoffs right now. I agree. Yeah. Well,

1838
01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:33,920
Speaker 1: I mean statistically right, I don't even think they would

1839
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:35,960
Speaker 1: have gone nine in anything. But I also like the mindset.

1840
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:38,240
Speaker 1: I think that's what I'm saying. I don't think they

1841
01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:40,160
Speaker 1: would have gone nine and eight. Some guys might have

1842
01:34:40,240 --> 01:34:43,600
Speaker 1: checked out, I might say for me, I mean absolutely,

1843
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:45,920
Speaker 1: Paul knows how mad I was during those moments. But

1844
01:34:46,000 --> 01:34:48,840
Speaker 1: that last Bill's game and just how unable they were

1845
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:51,800
Speaker 1: to do anything call the game over in the second quarter.

1846
01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:53,720
Speaker 1: That was That was pretty low for me. That was

1847
01:34:53,720 --> 01:34:58,439
Speaker 1: another one of those those two games. All Right, it's

1848
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:06,760
Speaker 1: that time of the week and Paul, we're not gonna

1849
01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:10,519
Speaker 1: we're not gonna do a high point. He said, said it.

1850
01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:12,120
Speaker 1: They had the number one. I know he said it,

1851
01:35:12,160 --> 01:35:14,720
Speaker 1: but we didn't. We all thought he picked a really

1852
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:16,640
Speaker 1: good low point. Oh, I think that was it. When

1853
01:35:16,800 --> 01:35:19,519
Speaker 1: Buffalo win. Yeah, I go with the high point. I

1854
01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:22,000
Speaker 1: go with the Chargers really yeah, because there was nothing

1855
01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:24,479
Speaker 1: flukey about that win. I know, but I just think

1856
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:27,439
Speaker 1: the stand you know where you were after the Buffalo

1857
01:35:27,520 --> 01:35:30,720
Speaker 1: game in terms of the standings, and you know, yeah, yeah,

1858
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:36,559
Speaker 1: that was the all aboard five seconds talking about Los Angeles.

1859
01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:39,800
Speaker 1: We've destroyed the Buffalo franchise forever. I mean, you're getting

1860
01:35:39,800 --> 01:35:43,600
Speaker 1: ready to put Can I just state this, you know

1861
01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:45,360
Speaker 1: up front, we got a half hour ago. We'll make

1862
01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:48,240
Speaker 1: our picks and everything. Half hour. We do have about

1863
01:35:48,240 --> 01:35:51,800
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes, yeah, twenty five minutes. Um. If the

1864
01:35:51,800 --> 01:35:55,160
Speaker 1: Patriots win this game, can we just can we learn

1865
01:35:55,280 --> 01:35:58,400
Speaker 1: from the last time and not make it a like

1866
01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:03,360
Speaker 1: a declare that Sean McDermott's days are over. No, um

1867
01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:05,600
Speaker 1: that No, he's not making any of those promises, that

1868
01:36:05,840 --> 01:36:11,000
Speaker 1: making any promises like that. Buffalo sucks. No, like so

1869
01:36:11,040 --> 01:36:14,679
Speaker 1: you buffalo sucks. No, but it might they might suck.

1870
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:17,479
Speaker 1: He's gonna act like it though next week. So you're

1871
01:36:17,520 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 1: not gonna learn your lesson. You're gonna do the same

1872
01:36:20,160 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 1: thing you did last time. All right. Well, Week eighteen

1873
01:36:25,120 --> 01:36:27,000
Speaker 1: is in the books, and it was not a pretty

1874
01:36:27,000 --> 01:36:32,400
Speaker 1: one for the entire crew. Fred was the best at

1875
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:35,920
Speaker 1: nine and seven wow, followed by Mike, Eric and Paul

1876
01:36:35,960 --> 01:36:37,720

1880
01:36:45,840 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 1: know what happens. It takes him a half hour to

1881
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:51,280
Speaker 1: make every pick out. I'm just gonna say this again.

1882
01:36:51,320 --> 01:36:53,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this as politely as I can. I'm

1883
01:36:53,520 --> 01:36:57,000
Speaker 1: not keeping tracking from now. You have to submit your

1884
01:36:57,040 --> 01:37:00,840
Speaker 1: picks and a seal downvelope. I've had We've had these

1885

1889
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:22,800

1914
01:38:56,680 --> 01:39:01,360
Speaker 1: Eddie mistabulations, any discrepancies in the records. We're not intentional, Paul.

1915
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm a half a moron, Paul. As you guys know,

1916
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:05,200
Speaker 1: I can only tell you what the score of a

1917
01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:08,560
Speaker 1: game was in nineteen seventy nine. I may have mispastulated

1918
01:39:08,760 --> 01:39:10,960
Speaker 1: what the score of a game was last week. It

1919
01:39:11,120 --> 01:39:13,559
Speaker 1: really doesn't matter that much. I just like, because you want,

1920
01:39:13,720 --> 01:39:16,840
Speaker 1: because you want anyway, Fine, it's fine by one I

1921
01:39:16,840 --> 01:39:19,439
Speaker 1: won by one point. I won by one. I haven't

1922
01:39:19,439 --> 01:39:24,240
Speaker 1: sentives for this. All right, so we got six games.

1923
01:39:24,240 --> 01:39:28,320
Speaker 1: Congratulations to Eric, Thank you. This is a good pickup line. Now,

1924
01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:32,400
Speaker 1: you know I want two takes contest. I believe it's

1925
01:39:32,400 --> 01:39:34,479
Speaker 1: two times you get away from me, creep. I'm good

1926
01:39:34,479 --> 01:39:37,839
Speaker 1: at spreading in the lane. Yeah, all right, the points

1927
01:39:37,880 --> 01:39:41,639
Speaker 1: that is records don't matter now, everybody zero and zero.

1928
01:39:42,320 --> 01:39:46,559
Speaker 1: So tonight, tonight you leave it. I'm just gonna get

1929
01:39:46,600 --> 01:39:50,080
Speaker 1: a PEPSI. Okay, it's gonna I'm gonna give you the yes.

1930
01:39:50,120 --> 01:39:54,960
Speaker 1: Four thirty Saturday Night, Vegas at Cincinnati, Cincinnati by five

1931
01:39:55,000 --> 01:40:01,679
Speaker 1: and a half. Cincinnati a so Joe Burrow took last

1932
01:40:01,680 --> 01:40:03,720
Speaker 1: week off a little bit of an injury. We saw

1933
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:06,559
Speaker 1: them lose to the Browns. Will that affect their team

1934
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:08,240
Speaker 1: morale as they go into the playoffs for the first

1935
01:40:08,240 --> 01:40:12,800
Speaker 1: time since twenty fifteen and Las Vegas obviously hot, Derek

1936
01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:15,240
Speaker 1: Carr winning that overtime game, feeling good about his first

1937
01:40:15,240 --> 01:40:20,000
Speaker 1: playoff appearance. I just think Cincinnati's got too much across

1938
01:40:20,040 --> 01:40:22,719
Speaker 1: the board. They're at home. I'm going to take them

1939
01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:27,920
Speaker 1: to win and cover. I mean, the Raiders have been

1940
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:32,120
Speaker 1: a great story ever since Gruden left that they've found

1941
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:34,520
Speaker 1: a way, and I think Derek Carr in particulars personified

1942
01:40:34,760 --> 01:40:36,880
Speaker 1: you know, what that team has done. I think he's

1943
01:40:36,920 --> 01:40:39,400
Speaker 1: made a great transformation from a quarterback that people kind

1944
01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:41,800
Speaker 1: of thought was as so so whatever into like the

1945
01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:44,920
Speaker 1: clear cut leader of that franchise. It's been a great story.

1946
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:47,799
Speaker 1: Unfortunately for them, it comes to an end this weekend.

1947
01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:50,680
Speaker 1: The Bengals win the game, but the Raiders have a

1948
01:40:50,760 --> 01:40:53,000
Speaker 1: ton of heart. They'll keep it close. So I'll take

1949
01:40:53,040 --> 01:40:57,920
Speaker 1: the Raider points. Okay, So I'm just gonna double check here.

1950
01:40:57,920 --> 01:41:02,839
Speaker 1: You're taking Cincinnati to win in Las Vegas with the points? Okay? Correct?

1951
01:41:02,880 --> 01:41:06,840
Speaker 1: I have Cincinnati slash healthy written down on my sheet.

1952
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:11,479
Speaker 1: I will be with Deuce. I'm gonna take Cincinnati both ways.

1953
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:14,799
Speaker 1: I would echo everything that Eric said about the Raiders,

1954
01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:18,720
Speaker 1: especially Derek Carr. Been very impressed with Derek Carr, more

1955
01:41:18,760 --> 01:41:22,120
Speaker 1: so off field than on the field. But I think

1956
01:41:22,160 --> 01:41:26,439
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, you expend, you waste a lot of

1957
01:41:26,560 --> 01:41:28,680
Speaker 1: energy doing that, and sometimes you just run out of gas.

1958
01:41:28,760 --> 01:41:31,959
Speaker 1: And I think Cincinnati rested some of their key personnel

1959
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:34,840
Speaker 1: last week. We'll see if it works. We'll see if

1960
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:36,800
Speaker 1: they're mature enough to be ready. There's a lot of

1961
01:41:36,840 --> 01:41:38,280
Speaker 1: guys that haven't been through this, but none of the

1962
01:41:38,360 --> 01:41:40,320
Speaker 1: Raiders have been through it either, So I think Cincinnati

1963
01:41:40,400 --> 01:41:45,240
Speaker 1: gets it done. Yeah. Um, I think the smart pick

1964
01:41:45,400 --> 01:41:48,120
Speaker 1: is since he both ways, but I'm not smart, so

1965
01:41:48,320 --> 01:41:51,519
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Cinci. But I'll take those points. I'll

1966
01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:58,720
Speaker 1: take those points. Um. Saturday, night eight, Say, what are

1967
01:41:58,760 --> 01:42:02,120
Speaker 1: you doing skip over the Patriots game Saturday night. We're

1968
01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:04,719
Speaker 1: gonna go to Sunday at one when all games should

1969
01:42:04,720 --> 01:42:09,280
Speaker 1: be played. Philadelphia at Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay by eight

1970
01:42:09,320 --> 01:42:16,680
Speaker 1: and a half with no receivers, Tom, Tom, Tom, So

1971
01:42:16,880 --> 01:42:20,880
Speaker 1: do they begin another playoff run? Uh, it's a good

1972
01:42:21,120 --> 01:42:22,599
Speaker 1: home game, but there they were all in the road

1973
01:42:22,680 --> 01:42:24,880
Speaker 1: last year. So this is Brady's first playoff game except

1974
01:42:24,880 --> 01:42:28,400
Speaker 1: for the Super Bowl, of course, which right correct, But

1975
01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:30,880
Speaker 1: I I think Philadelphia had a good end to the season.

1976
01:42:31,040 --> 01:42:33,400
Speaker 1: But it's just I can't. I can't pick against TB

1977
01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:36,800
Speaker 1: against the subpart team in the playoffs. I will take

1978
01:42:37,200 --> 01:42:40,400
Speaker 1: the Bucks and I will lay the points. Uh yeah,

1979
01:42:40,520 --> 01:42:42,920
Speaker 1: I will take the Bucks to win at home as well.

1980
01:42:43,120 --> 01:42:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm just debating on this point total here because like

1981
01:42:46,800 --> 01:42:49,120
Speaker 1: you said, there they have no receivers anymore. It's gonna

1982
01:42:49,160 --> 01:42:51,360
Speaker 1: be all on Brady and probably Gronk, right, I mean

1983
01:42:51,439 --> 01:42:55,400
Speaker 1: not a Bam Evans will be will play. But I

1984
01:42:55,479 --> 01:42:58,160
Speaker 1: mean for the most part, they guy who caught the

1985
01:42:58,240 --> 01:43:00,599
Speaker 1: touchdown in the last play of the game, even he's out,

1986
01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:04,720
Speaker 1: Yeah Scott his name st um So I will give

1987
01:43:04,760 --> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 1: the Eagles a little bit of credit to keep it close.

1988
01:43:07,560 --> 01:43:10,439
Speaker 1: So I'll take their points. But the Bucks win. So

1989
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:16,920
Speaker 1: Bucks win? Yes, stop just double checking, guy, I will

1990
01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:19,519
Speaker 1: take Tampa both ways. I think if the Bucks lost,

1991
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:23,840
Speaker 1: this game would be akin to like Tebow Broncos. You

1992
01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:26,080
Speaker 1: know all the Tomato Can games that we talk about,

1993
01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:31,080
Speaker 1: the Osweiler Texans, Mariota Titans, that this losing this game

1994
01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:33,040
Speaker 1: would be like that. Yeah, I don't. I just and

1995
01:43:33,160 --> 01:43:35,320
Speaker 1: I know that Tampa is missing a lot of personnel.

1996
01:43:35,560 --> 01:43:38,160
Speaker 1: I don't think it matters. They should win this game. Handle. Yeah.

1997
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:40,439
Speaker 1: Plus I think Tampa Bay has the edge and head coach,

1998
01:43:40,520 --> 01:43:45,560
Speaker 1: and that Brady is better than Phillies coach. Siriannie. The

1999
01:43:45,640 --> 01:43:47,479
Speaker 1: fact that you got the Sirianni and there was I

2000
01:43:47,520 --> 01:43:49,960
Speaker 1: know that was impressive, But do you get the joke? Yeah,

2001
01:43:51,280 --> 01:43:53,720
Speaker 1: you take him Tampa, Yeah, both ways. Don't you think

2002
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:58,479
Speaker 1: Sirianni looks like a cast member from three hundred? Oh?

2003
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:02,960
Speaker 1: But Spartan Spartan, well, any of those guys, I mean

2004
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:05,479
Speaker 1: they all look a lot of the Spartans great abs. Yeah,

2005
01:44:06,040 --> 01:44:07,920
Speaker 1: I've seen them with a shirt off. I'm not sure

2006
01:44:07,920 --> 01:44:11,719
Speaker 1: you're allowed to say that. You know, the beard and everything,

2007
01:44:12,240 --> 01:44:15,160
Speaker 1: he looks like it looks like a three hundred casts man.

2008
01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:16,479
Speaker 1: I need to see him with a shirt off. Yeah,

2009
01:44:16,479 --> 01:44:19,280
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, or in a loincloth, yeah,

2010
01:44:22,240 --> 01:44:25,720
Speaker 1: Bill BELICHICKI coaches in a cut off hood, loincloth. It's

2011
01:44:25,760 --> 01:44:30,400
Speaker 1: this thing that's always been something I've had a problem

2012
01:44:30,439 --> 01:44:32,960
Speaker 1: with with the NFL uniforms. You know, you can see

2013
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:35,800
Speaker 1: it with the teams that wear the white pants, like

2014
01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:38,360
Speaker 1: they have this the back of it. It's like a loincloth.

2015
01:44:38,479 --> 01:44:40,760
Speaker 1: It's like this thing with a string. It looks like

2016
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:47,679
Speaker 1: the way but it's not a jock strap. It's built

2017
01:44:47,760 --> 01:44:51,840
Speaker 1: into the pants. Just the stitching. It looks like something

2018
01:44:51,960 --> 01:44:59,240
Speaker 1: Tarzan where, you know. Yeah, next next time, just pay

2019
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:02,880
Speaker 1: attention to the teams with the white pants from behind.

2020
01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:07,800
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I'm excited. It's all about coming from behind.

2021
01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:16,040
Speaker 1: And Sunday San Francisco at Dallas. I think this is

2022
01:45:16,160 --> 01:45:19,679
Speaker 1: the game of the weekend. Yeah, Dallas at three, Dallas

2023
01:45:19,720 --> 01:45:26,519
Speaker 1: by three, three Dallas minus three. Jimmy ge Garoppolo, Yeah,

2024
01:45:26,680 --> 01:45:29,439
Speaker 1: that's I mean they put up fifty fifty Burger and

2025
01:45:29,560 --> 01:45:32,559
Speaker 1: that last one there for Dallas. Um, I gotta take

2026
01:45:32,600 --> 01:45:35,920
Speaker 1: the Cowboys at home. I do think Jimmy G played

2027
01:45:35,960 --> 01:45:38,200
Speaker 1: well here down the stretch getting them in UM. But

2028
01:45:38,360 --> 01:45:40,720
Speaker 1: I think that that DA's got something to prove and

2029
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:42,760
Speaker 1: I think he knows it. And I think they're at home.

2030
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:45,519
Speaker 1: I think they win and cover. I'm with you, Deuce.

2031
01:45:46,360 --> 01:45:48,840
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I mean, as much as I

2032
01:45:48,920 --> 01:45:51,160
Speaker 1: love Jimmy G and the fact that he was able

2033
01:45:51,200 --> 01:45:53,400
Speaker 1: to get his team rally them from seventeen down to

2034
01:45:53,479 --> 01:45:56,080
Speaker 1: get them into the playoffs against a good team, I

2035
01:45:56,200 --> 01:45:58,720
Speaker 1: think that they have a lot of flaws and the

2036
01:45:58,760 --> 01:46:02,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys are just starting to I think, find themselves a

2037
01:46:02,040 --> 01:46:05,760
Speaker 1: little bit. So they're at home, they win, they cover. Yeah,

2038
01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:09,840
Speaker 1: I am going to take the Niners outright way now.

2039
01:46:10,200 --> 01:46:12,360
Speaker 1: I think the Niners have the kind of team that's

2040
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:16,000
Speaker 1: really built for playoff football on the road. Like you

2041
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:18,960
Speaker 1: have to be physical, you have to be able to

2042
01:46:19,040 --> 01:46:22,479
Speaker 1: run the ball and make some plays to score enough points.

2043
01:46:22,520 --> 01:46:24,720
Speaker 1: It's not just a one dimensional offense. They can get.

2044
01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 1: They can get in the high twenties, which I think

2045
01:46:27,520 --> 01:46:29,840
Speaker 1: it'll take against Dallas, and I think that if they

2046
01:46:29,880 --> 01:46:32,880
Speaker 1: can do that and be competitive, I think Dallas will

2047
01:46:32,920 --> 01:46:35,960
Speaker 1: feel the noose and I'll take the Niners. Jeez, I

2048
01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:38,240
Speaker 1: hope you're right. Paul, but I just can't go with you.

2049
01:46:38,840 --> 01:46:41,200
Speaker 1: I gotta go with Dallas. I think this year is

2050
01:46:41,200 --> 01:46:43,760
Speaker 1: a little bit different year for them. Dallas is good.

2051
01:46:43,960 --> 01:46:46,559
Speaker 1: I'm not telling you Dallas thinks Dallas is very good.

2052
01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:50,760
Speaker 1: So I think Dallas covers and wins the game. My

2053
01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:53,040
Speaker 1: pick is more of a pick four Kansas for San

2054
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:59,160
Speaker 1: Francisco than it is against Dallas. Yeah. Sunday night, eight fifteen, Pittsburgh,

2055
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:04,280
Speaker 1: and you know, perhaps Roethlisberger's last game against Kansas City.

2056
01:47:05,840 --> 01:47:08,800
Speaker 1: I like those. Yeah, Kansas City by twelve and a half,

2057
01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:12,920
Speaker 1: by twelve and a half. They heard Big Ben talking yesterday, Hey,

2058
01:47:12,960 --> 01:47:14,840
Speaker 1: we're not favoring We're probably We're just going there and

2059
01:47:14,920 --> 01:47:18,360
Speaker 1: relax and have fun. I don't think it matters. I

2060
01:47:18,479 --> 01:47:20,439
Speaker 1: just I don't think the Steelers have enough. I think

2061
01:47:20,720 --> 01:47:23,599
Speaker 1: I continue to believe Kansas City is back on track,

2062
01:47:24,120 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take Kansas City and I'm gonna lay

2063
01:47:26,120 --> 01:47:29,439
Speaker 1: those twelve points. Yeah. The Steelers surprised me a little

2064
01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:32,360
Speaker 1: bit with the gumption that they showed on the road

2065
01:47:32,439 --> 01:47:34,479
Speaker 1: in that finale. I thought for sure, after the emotional

2066
01:47:34,560 --> 01:47:37,040
Speaker 1: send off at Hinesfield that they were gonna just be

2067
01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:42,760
Speaker 1: spent for that Baltimore game, but they weren't. However, the

2068
01:47:42,880 --> 01:47:45,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs are just too good a team and the Steelers

2069
01:47:45,240 --> 01:47:49,800
Speaker 1: shouldn't be there in the first place. Chiefs role both ways,

2070
01:47:51,680 --> 01:47:55,720
Speaker 1: I am with the boys. I'll take Kansas City attempted

2071
01:47:55,760 --> 01:47:58,439
Speaker 1: to take the points, but I think that if they

2072
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:02,360
Speaker 1: fall behind, it could be some turnovers involved. And I'll

2073
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:07,320
Speaker 1: take Kansas City to cover too. Yeah. I mean, Pittsburgh,

2074
01:48:07,360 --> 01:48:10,800
Speaker 1: they're a proud team, you know, and they defense could

2075
01:48:10,840 --> 01:48:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, help them put up a fight. But I

2076
01:48:12,840 --> 01:48:16,400
Speaker 1: just they just got nothing on offense. And I think

2077
01:48:16,439 --> 01:48:19,080
Speaker 1: that you know, it was a tough game against Baltimore,

2078
01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:23,120
Speaker 1: but Baltimore is not the same out their quarterback, right

2079
01:48:23,240 --> 01:48:25,920
Speaker 1: So I mean you can't say, oh, they played well

2080
01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:29,240
Speaker 1: against Baltimore. Baltimore is not that good anymore, at least

2081
01:48:29,360 --> 01:48:32,560
Speaker 1: right now. So absolutely, So that's the last five. So

2082
01:48:32,640 --> 01:48:35,240
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not letting that sway me. I'm gonna

2083
01:48:35,280 --> 01:48:40,360
Speaker 1: take Kansas City both ways. Monday night, eight fifteen, the

2084
01:48:40,560 --> 01:48:43,920
Speaker 1: Cardinals at the ROMs is the toughest game of the

2085
01:48:44,000 --> 01:48:47,240
Speaker 1: weekend to pick. I think rom is it on no

2086
01:48:47,439 --> 01:48:55,920
Speaker 1: which game? Which game is Pittsburgh Kansas City game? That's Okay, right,

2087
01:48:56,120 --> 01:49:01,879
Speaker 1: I believe so yeah, okay, Although, what's the the Vegas

2088
01:49:02,640 --> 01:49:04,920
Speaker 1: Bengals game? Is that on NBC two that I M

2089
01:49:05,840 --> 01:49:07,720
Speaker 1: m M, I don't know, CBS man, and now we're

2090
01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:12,960
Speaker 1: on CBS, right, Pat's Buffalo CBS. Then I think it's CBS. Yeah,

2091
01:49:12,960 --> 01:49:15,080
Speaker 1: it'd be weird to be a doubleheader, CBS doubleheader for

2092
01:49:15,120 --> 01:49:17,280
Speaker 1: the first day that info it could be. Could be

2093
01:49:17,360 --> 01:49:19,320
Speaker 1: a CBS double header and then a Fox double header

2094
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:23,639
Speaker 1: on NBC for the Vegas game, CBS for the Patriots game,

2095
01:49:23,880 --> 01:49:29,719
Speaker 1: Fox Philly, Tampa, CBS San Frandallas, NBRY SHE Pittsburgh, Casey

2096
01:49:30,200 --> 01:49:38,040
Speaker 1: and ESPN. Okay, so Volar by four four. It's a

2097
01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:41,719
Speaker 1: great question, great question this game. I agree with Eric Toughest.

2098
01:49:41,880 --> 01:49:45,240
Speaker 1: Arizona great start to the season, had a bunch of injuries.

2099
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:47,640
Speaker 1: I think Hopkins going down and losing him kind of

2100
01:49:47,720 --> 01:49:51,880
Speaker 1: changed their their whole dynamic. Ram signing Wettle, that's an

2101
01:49:51,960 --> 01:49:55,120
Speaker 1: interesting move for them. I think I gotta go with

2102
01:49:55,320 --> 01:49:58,880
Speaker 1: with Stafford and O b J and that group. I

2103
01:49:58,960 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 1: think they'll win in the and I think they'll cover.

2104
01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:04,599
Speaker 1: Actually know what, I'm gonna take the points, Paul, because

2105
01:50:04,640 --> 01:50:06,880
Speaker 1: I think it'll be it'll be a closet one right

2106
01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:10,760
Speaker 1: down to the right. The Cards have been such a

2107
01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:13,479
Speaker 1: bizarre team because they were number one for most of

2108
01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:17,120
Speaker 1: the year in the NFC, and they were worse at

2109
01:50:17,160 --> 01:50:21,240
Speaker 1: home then they were on the road. They played terrible

2110
01:50:21,320 --> 01:50:23,800
Speaker 1: at home all season, which makes me think they're gonna

2111
01:50:23,880 --> 01:50:30,720
Speaker 1: put up some good numbers in Los Angeles. Um, I'm

2112
01:50:30,720 --> 01:50:34,240
Speaker 1: gonna pick them out right to win the game, because

2113
01:50:34,520 --> 01:50:38,880
Speaker 1: I really Yeah, because you know why I don't trust

2114
01:50:39,120 --> 01:50:42,679
Speaker 1: Paul's guy, Matthew Stafford. He's really a game. He's limped

2115
01:50:42,720 --> 01:50:45,200
Speaker 1: to the question. There's some question here. He's definitely limped

2116
01:50:45,200 --> 01:50:49,040
Speaker 1: to the I'm gonna pick the Cards and Kyler little

2117
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:55,880
Speaker 1: running around throw them passes. But while Fred is correct

2118
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:58,280
Speaker 1: that Stafford has limped to the finish line, the Rams

2119
01:50:58,280 --> 01:50:59,960
Speaker 1: still found a way to win five with the last six.

2120
01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:02,760
Speaker 1: So I will say that they will win this game

2121
01:51:03,080 --> 01:51:05,680
Speaker 1: and and cover. But Stafford, I think has thrown eight

2122
01:51:05,760 --> 01:51:10,200
Speaker 1: picks in those six games. Yeah, so Fred's right about Staffords. Um,

2123
01:51:10,520 --> 01:51:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm with Paul. The Rams win both ways the favorite,

2124
01:51:16,240 --> 01:51:19,360
Speaker 1: right yea, yeah, so they cover? So the Rams cover

2125
01:51:19,479 --> 01:51:22,600
Speaker 1: this game. They I want to see them advanced. I mean,

2126
01:51:22,680 --> 01:51:26,479
Speaker 1: they're an exciting team. They've got a you know obviously Cooper,

2127
01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:29,040
Speaker 1: Cup and Stafford, and they got a great running back.

2128
01:51:30,320 --> 01:51:33,240
Speaker 1: I was you didn't let me, you stepped on my line.

2129
01:51:33,880 --> 01:51:38,760
Speaker 1: But you're right. Cam Akers is back. Just when you

2130
01:51:38,840 --> 01:51:45,160
Speaker 1: thought you had all the answers. Did well, he did

2131
01:51:45,240 --> 01:51:51,000
Speaker 1: well if you really averaged three point seven yards of well, no, no, no. Um, So,

2132
01:51:51,400 --> 01:51:53,200
Speaker 1: uh yeah, he's been he's been good for them down

2133
01:51:53,240 --> 01:51:56,639
Speaker 1: the stretch. So the Rams, uh Rams win and they advance.

2134
01:51:57,280 --> 01:52:00,160
Speaker 1: All right, now we go back a little boy. It's

2135
01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:03,559
Speaker 1: all the way back to Saturday. Oh boy, Saturday night,

2136
01:52:03,640 --> 01:52:08,719
Speaker 1: eight fifteen zero degrees is still the forecast, right, Eric, Yeah,

2137
01:52:08,840 --> 01:52:11,479
Speaker 1: that hasn't changed. It's it's in like give or take

2138
01:52:11,520 --> 01:52:13,760
Speaker 1: two or three degrees. But yeah, you're talking about near

2139
01:52:13,840 --> 01:52:16,280
Speaker 1: zero temperature. It doesn't matter at that point. Now, Yeah

2140
01:52:16,720 --> 01:52:21,559
Speaker 1: it's cold. So what do we got? Paul Bills by four?

2141
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:26,160
Speaker 1: So the line hasn't changed. And I think the touts

2142
01:52:26,200 --> 01:52:29,400
Speaker 1: and the sharps are telling us something that it's going

2143
01:52:29,439 --> 01:52:31,560
Speaker 1: to be a closer game than people think. Yeah. I

2144
01:52:31,840 --> 01:52:34,040
Speaker 1: do think it's gonna be a close game. Um, but

2145
01:52:34,320 --> 01:52:36,559
Speaker 1: I think, you know, based on what we've seen out

2146
01:52:36,600 --> 01:52:39,280
Speaker 1: of the out of the Patriots know what's talking about.

2147
01:52:39,760 --> 01:52:43,559
Speaker 1: I never know what he's talking about. I just don't um.

2148
01:52:44,439 --> 01:52:46,240
Speaker 1: It's it's just it's hard to pick the Patriots for

2149
01:52:46,320 --> 01:52:48,400
Speaker 1: me to win the game. I think that they will

2150
01:52:48,520 --> 01:52:51,200
Speaker 1: show up and play hard and have something more than

2151
01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:53,680
Speaker 1: they've had here in the end. Um. But I think

2152
01:52:53,760 --> 01:52:57,800
Speaker 1: ultimately Buffalo is too talented. They are clicking, they're ready

2153
01:52:57,840 --> 01:53:00,479
Speaker 1: to go. Um. I'd like Buffalo to to pull it

2154
01:53:00,520 --> 01:53:01,960
Speaker 1: out at the end. I will take the points for

2155
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:03,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots, but I will take the Bills to win

2156
01:53:04,520 --> 01:53:06,640
Speaker 1: twenty eight twenty seven and the kind of game that

2157
01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:10,800
Speaker 1: will probably leave me apoplectic again and furious. I don't

2158
01:53:10,800 --> 01:53:12,479
Speaker 1: know why I'm but you know, it's it fails to

2159
01:53:12,560 --> 01:53:14,680
Speaker 1: me like a game could take another postgame show off

2160
01:53:15,040 --> 01:53:17,600
Speaker 1: twenty seven twenty one and the fourth and you know,

2161
01:53:17,760 --> 01:53:20,240
Speaker 1: and the Bills pull out the last touchdown twenty eight

2162
01:53:20,280 --> 01:53:23,800
Speaker 1: twenty Well, Deuce, I will ease your concerns the final score.

2163
01:53:24,160 --> 01:53:26,560
Speaker 1: The final score is going to look closer than the

2164
01:53:26,640 --> 01:53:30,320
Speaker 1: game actually is, so you can rest a little bit easier.

2165
01:53:30,400 --> 01:53:32,439
Speaker 1: You can be apoplectic in the first half. If I

2166
01:53:32,479 --> 01:53:33,720
Speaker 1: can give up in the first time, you can give

2167
01:53:33,800 --> 01:53:35,760
Speaker 1: up early the Bills are going to be in total

2168
01:53:35,800 --> 01:53:38,960
Speaker 1: control of this game from start to finish. The Patriots

2169
01:53:39,160 --> 01:53:42,240
Speaker 1: as they as they do, They're gonna fight and claw

2170
01:53:42,280 --> 01:53:44,680
Speaker 1: their way back and make it look like they got

2171
01:53:44,760 --> 01:53:47,519
Speaker 1: a chance, but they really don't. Just a continuation. Yeah,

2172
01:53:47,600 --> 01:53:49,800
Speaker 1: I mean a great story for Buffalo. Last year they

2173
01:53:49,840 --> 01:53:51,640
Speaker 1: won the afcast for the first time and forever. They

2174
01:53:51,680 --> 01:53:54,000
Speaker 1: won it again this year. But really to prove that

2175
01:53:54,080 --> 01:53:56,160
Speaker 1: they are now the Beasts of the East, they need

2176
01:53:56,200 --> 01:53:58,960
Speaker 1: to beat the Patriots in the playoffs, and they're going

2177
01:53:59,040 --> 01:54:02,080
Speaker 1: to at home Josh Allen and that offense is going

2178
01:54:02,120 --> 01:54:03,920
Speaker 1: to be too much. They win thirty to twenty three.

2179
01:54:07,280 --> 01:54:12,120
Speaker 1: I am gonna take this is This is really gonna

2180
01:54:12,160 --> 01:54:15,280
Speaker 1: surprise I think some people. Yeah, fraud Parolo is going

2181
01:54:15,320 --> 01:54:19,080
Speaker 1: to be checking in. I can't argue with any of

2182
01:54:19,160 --> 01:54:21,560
Speaker 1: the on paper stuff that Buffalo has an edge in.

2183
01:54:21,640 --> 01:54:23,400
Speaker 1: I agree with all of it. I think Buffalo has

2184
01:54:23,400 --> 01:54:26,360
Speaker 1: a better team top to bottom, front to back. I

2185
01:54:26,439 --> 01:54:28,599
Speaker 1: think Belichick's a better coach than McDermott, but I think

2186
01:54:28,680 --> 01:54:31,000
Speaker 1: McDermott's a good coach, so I don't even think that

2187
01:54:31,120 --> 01:54:37,480
Speaker 1: advantage is significant. I just feel there's something to this.

2188
01:54:38,840 --> 01:54:42,280
Speaker 1: Bill struggles at home this season. It's not just been

2189
01:54:42,320 --> 01:54:44,840
Speaker 1: about whether they haven't played as well at home all year,

2190
01:54:44,920 --> 01:54:47,240
Speaker 1: from the very first week of the season against Pittsburgh on.

2191
01:54:48,160 --> 01:54:52,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that they I don't think they've looked

2192
01:54:52,040 --> 01:54:56,800
Speaker 1: like themselves all year. And there's something about that that's

2193
01:54:56,840 --> 01:54:59,080
Speaker 1: sticking with me. And I'm doing a little one of

2194
01:54:59,160 --> 01:55:02,760
Speaker 1: those maybe blind faith kind of picks that I generally

2195
01:55:03,440 --> 01:55:06,880
Speaker 1: criticize people for doing. I think the Patriots are going

2196
01:55:06,920 --> 01:55:08,360
Speaker 1: to find a way to win this game. I don't

2197
01:55:08,400 --> 01:55:10,040
Speaker 1: know how it's going to happen. I don't know if

2198
01:55:10,040 --> 01:55:12,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be because maybe Buffalo miss is a field goal.

2199
01:55:12,800 --> 01:55:15,440
Speaker 1: The way every field goal kickers missed against the Patriots

2200
01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:19,120
Speaker 1: all year, eleven missus m tops in the league. Maybe

2201
01:55:19,200 --> 01:55:21,760
Speaker 1: Tyler bass miss is a field goal, and that's ultimately

2202
01:55:21,800 --> 01:55:23,480
Speaker 1: a difference. That was the difference in the last game

2203
01:55:23,640 --> 01:55:25,840
Speaker 1: that was played in Buffalo. So I'm going to take

2204
01:55:25,880 --> 01:55:31,000
Speaker 1: the Patriots twenty four to twenty three. Good for you, Paul.

2205
01:55:31,680 --> 01:55:36,160
Speaker 1: I'm just I just want to say I understand and

2206
01:55:36,280 --> 01:55:39,960
Speaker 1: I will accept all of the mocking and criticism that

2207
01:55:40,120 --> 01:55:42,120
Speaker 1: you want to send my way for being a fraud,

2208
01:55:42,160 --> 01:55:45,400
Speaker 1: because I understand. I think it's a it's a blind

2209
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:47,480
Speaker 1: faith pick. It is what it is. I think. I

2210
01:55:48,360 --> 01:55:52,600
Speaker 1: I think I literally heard an audible cheer from Patriots

2211
01:55:52,720 --> 01:55:55,080
Speaker 1: Nation when you put down that pick, Paul, I think

2212
01:55:55,160 --> 01:55:58,880
Speaker 1: they were it was more of an audible gasp when

2213
01:55:58,920 --> 01:56:02,000
Speaker 1: I did it on the air with Mike and ever next.

2214
01:56:02,360 --> 01:56:04,800
Speaker 1: I think, I think, as you would say, the Fitzias

2215
01:56:04,840 --> 01:56:06,760
Speaker 1: of the world are cheering right now. See that's what

2216
01:56:06,800 --> 01:56:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm looking to avoid. Well, you got it. I'm sorry,

2217
01:56:09,520 --> 01:56:12,560
Speaker 1: I call them, I'm sorry, but there we got Parolo.

2218
01:56:12,960 --> 01:56:15,160
Speaker 1: We got Parolo. I don't know if it's a good

2219
01:56:15,200 --> 01:56:18,560
Speaker 1: a bad sign. Only in New England is another AFC

2220
01:56:18,720 --> 01:56:23,280
Speaker 1: championship considered a loss. Um, yeah, this this is a

2221
01:56:23,400 --> 01:56:27,120
Speaker 1: tough one for me. It really is. You know, obviously

2222
01:56:28,480 --> 01:56:32,120
Speaker 1: you know where my heart lies. Um, but I've been

2223
01:56:32,680 --> 01:56:36,720
Speaker 1: ten and seven picking the Patriots this year. Eric, Now,

2224
01:56:37,800 --> 01:56:40,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, I think marked differently there, Fred, you

2225
01:56:40,960 --> 01:56:43,120
Speaker 1: only picked him to win ten games. You know, seven

2226
01:56:43,240 --> 01:56:46,720
Speaker 1: times I picked him and they they lost. So I'm

2227
01:56:46,760 --> 01:56:51,760
Speaker 1: not infallible. Um. You know friend friend's record while picking

2228
01:56:51,800 --> 01:56:55,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots this year seven? Uh, you know, so I

2229
01:56:56,440 --> 01:56:59,040
Speaker 1: I just have to look at it. I listen, I

2230
01:56:59,160 --> 01:57:01,560
Speaker 1: love Matt Jones. I'm happy that he's a quarterback, but

2231
01:57:01,720 --> 01:57:04,400
Speaker 1: he's a rookie quarterback. This is his first playoff game.

2232
01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:07,880
Speaker 1: The fact that a rookie got to the playoffs is

2233
01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:11,560
Speaker 1: a great thing. That a rookie would win a playoff

2234
01:57:11,640 --> 01:57:15,320
Speaker 1: game would be over the top. So I'm taking Patriots

2235
01:57:15,360 --> 01:57:17,960
Speaker 1: fifty to ten. You know, the Bills. The Bills know

2236
01:57:18,240 --> 01:57:20,960
Speaker 1: what Eric said. The Bills know that. You know, Yeah,

2237
01:57:21,040 --> 01:57:22,760
Speaker 1: they won the AFC twice in a row, but this

2238
01:57:22,920 --> 01:57:25,120
Speaker 1: is the first time now they've played the Patriots in

2239
01:57:25,200 --> 01:57:28,360
Speaker 1: the in the playoffs, and they've got to win this game.

2240
01:57:28,800 --> 01:57:31,200
Speaker 1: And you know they're gonna come out pumped up, and

2241
01:57:31,360 --> 01:57:33,560
Speaker 1: you know, you talk about fast starts, not to say

2242
01:57:33,600 --> 01:57:36,840
Speaker 1: that the Patriots won't come out, you know, pumped up.

2243
01:57:36,920 --> 01:57:40,839
Speaker 1: But it's at home, you know, the Bills rookie quarterback

2244
01:57:40,920 --> 01:57:44,920
Speaker 1: and mac Jones. I don't know. I just I just

2245
01:57:45,040 --> 01:57:48,040
Speaker 1: can't do it. I can't do it. Bills twenty seven,

2246
01:57:48,120 --> 01:57:53,080
Speaker 1: Patriots fourteen. Wow. Yeah, considerable margin. Yeah. I would just

2247
01:57:53,160 --> 01:57:55,680
Speaker 1: waiting to see if he had him covering. There's no

2248
01:57:55,800 --> 01:57:57,960
Speaker 1: way he could pick the Patriots after that pretty amble. Oh,

2249
01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:01,000
Speaker 1: I would do it anyway, but no, I just and maybe, look,

2250
01:58:01,200 --> 01:58:05,000
Speaker 1: maybe it's maybe by my doing that the win. And

2251
01:58:05,080 --> 01:58:07,680
Speaker 1: I hope that's the case. Yeah, I hope that's the case.

2252
01:58:07,760 --> 01:58:12,240
Speaker 1: But it just really comes down to, like, you know,

2253
01:58:13,960 --> 01:58:18,160
Speaker 1: I just don't already, you know, we've seen this offense

2254
01:58:18,280 --> 01:58:22,360
Speaker 1: against lesser defenses, and you know, I don't think that

2255
01:58:22,400 --> 01:58:25,760
Speaker 1: they can generate enough, you know, because remember, the cold's

2256
01:58:25,760 --> 01:58:28,240
Speaker 1: going to affect them too, It's not just going to

2257
01:58:28,320 --> 01:58:32,640
Speaker 1: affect the bills, you know. And Matt Jones has made

2258
01:58:32,840 --> 01:58:36,560
Speaker 1: incredible strides as a rookie and that's gonna continue next year.

2259
01:58:36,640 --> 01:58:41,680
Speaker 1: But man, I just can't objectively say that he's gonna

2260
01:58:41,720 --> 01:58:45,440
Speaker 1: be able to win this playoff game. But I listen,

2261
01:58:46,240 --> 01:58:49,000
Speaker 1: love to be wrong here me too, h But I mean,

2262
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:50,720
Speaker 1: I think, you know, I feel I'm kind of in

2263
01:58:50,800 --> 01:58:52,400
Speaker 1: the same place where just based on how the two

2264
01:58:52,440 --> 01:58:55,240
Speaker 1: teams are playing, I think it correlates because I feel

2265
01:58:55,240 --> 01:58:57,360
Speaker 1: like they got about a twenty five percent chance one

2266
01:58:57,360 --> 01:58:59,600
Speaker 1: out of four and that's what we pick. So uh,

2267
01:59:00,080 --> 01:59:01,960
Speaker 1: I just hope that they come out and go down,

2268
01:59:02,080 --> 01:59:04,280
Speaker 1: swing in, and go down with a good football game,

2269
01:59:04,360 --> 01:59:08,160
Speaker 1: and you know, just don't make stupid mistakes. Mistakes happen,

2270
01:59:08,280 --> 01:59:10,680
Speaker 1: But just don't go down and beat yourself. Make them

2271
01:59:10,760 --> 01:59:12,280
Speaker 1: earn it, make them and I want to come out

2272
01:59:12,280 --> 01:59:13,920
Speaker 1: of the game and say, you know what, the Bills again,

2273
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:15,680
Speaker 1: they were the better team. I don't want to come

2274
01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:18,400
Speaker 1: out being like, man, we almost had them. You know

2275
01:59:18,520 --> 01:59:20,400
Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's probably the case based on my

2276
01:59:20,480 --> 01:59:23,640
Speaker 1: big But I just want them to put forth a

2277
01:59:23,640 --> 01:59:25,960
Speaker 1: good football game and then I'll be happy. Yeah, I mean,

2278
01:59:26,080 --> 01:59:28,720
Speaker 1: I'd love to come out of this game even if

2279
01:59:28,760 --> 01:59:32,200
Speaker 1: they lose. Wow. You know, there's there's a lot of

2280
01:59:32,280 --> 01:59:34,960
Speaker 1: hope for the future. Yeah, you know, not that if

2281
01:59:35,000 --> 01:59:37,360
Speaker 1: they get blown out, I'm gonna give up on twenty

2282
01:59:37,480 --> 01:59:40,600
Speaker 1: twenty two. But you know that will be in character

2283
01:59:40,720 --> 01:59:44,320
Speaker 1: for you. Yeah. Yeah. But let's just see what Matt

2284
01:59:44,360 --> 01:59:47,000
Speaker 1: can do here. Um, and let's just hope he's not

2285
01:59:47,120 --> 01:59:50,640
Speaker 1: the reason why they don't win this game. Yeah, but

2286
01:59:50,760 --> 01:59:52,520
Speaker 1: they've got to They've they've got to stop with the

2287
01:59:52,600 --> 01:59:55,960
Speaker 1: stupid penalties and the turnovers and all that stuff, because

2288
01:59:55,960 --> 01:59:58,600
Speaker 1: if they do that, forget it, forget it. You know,

2289
02:00:00,040 --> 02:00:02,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots have to play the more perfect game, There's

2290
02:00:02,320 --> 02:00:04,560
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. Yep. You know, the Bills can

2291
02:00:04,640 --> 02:00:07,800
Speaker 1: make some mistakes and absorb that. Yeah, they've done that

2292
02:00:08,040 --> 02:00:10,080
Speaker 1: a lot this year, a lot. Yeah, you know, and

2293
02:00:10,200 --> 02:00:12,480
Speaker 1: let's see the vets on defense step up a little

2294
02:00:12,480 --> 02:00:14,800
Speaker 1: bit and make some plays and go out swinging. I mean,

2295
02:00:14,840 --> 02:00:16,640
Speaker 1: these guys, there's so many guys who have had great

2296
02:00:16,680 --> 02:00:18,360
Speaker 1: careers here, and you know it might be the last

2297
02:00:18,400 --> 02:00:19,920
Speaker 1: game for some of them. I'm just focused on the

2298
02:00:20,040 --> 02:00:22,240
Speaker 1: other team. I just need the other team to not

2299
02:00:22,360 --> 02:00:24,120
Speaker 1: play well. That's what I'm That's what I'm paying. But

2300
02:00:24,280 --> 02:00:26,360
Speaker 1: but them not playing well, we'll have to be in

2301
02:00:26,480 --> 02:00:29,600
Speaker 1: part because the Patriots do something to make them make mistakes.

2302
02:00:29,640 --> 02:00:32,880
Speaker 1: I just know. I think it's got to be Buffalo's

2303
02:00:32,880 --> 02:00:35,920
Speaker 1: got to collapse. You think, total brain fart. Yeah, yeah,

2304
02:00:36,280 --> 02:00:37,960
Speaker 1: that's what I'm looking for, and I think it can.

2305
02:00:38,040 --> 02:00:40,960
Speaker 1: You think it could happen? All right, All right, well listen,

2306
02:00:41,160 --> 02:00:43,720
Speaker 1: that's it. Um. I saw one email come in that said,

2307
02:00:43,720 --> 02:00:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, this could be the final episode of PU

2308
02:00:46,640 --> 02:00:48,560
Speaker 1: No no no no no, no no no no. Even
