Speaker 1: Hi everyone, Welcome to Packers unscripted from Packers dot Com.
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford sitting next to my trusted colleague
Speaker 1: West Hodkowitz. Were coming to you here from our studios
Speaker 1: at lambeau Field and West It is almost here. Packers
Speaker 1: forty Niners will be Sunday night, seven pm Central Time
Speaker 1: kickoff from Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California, our final
Speaker 1: show of the week on Friday, and that means keys
Speaker 1: to victory for the Green Bay Packers. Where do you
Speaker 1: want to start with this one? Well, okay, so Matt
Speaker 1: Mike Patton had a great line when he was talking
Speaker 1: to reporters on Thursday evening asked about all these injuries
Speaker 1: that the San Francisco forty Niners have and basically how
Speaker 1: you game plan for it? He said, you have to
Speaker 1: game plan for everything. You can't like allow yourself to
Speaker 1: not think that certain players is going to be there
Speaker 1: and then you're playing catch up. You gotta be able
Speaker 1: to scheme for everything. Oh, George Kittle is probably the
Speaker 1: ultimate part of that, right. Kittle had not practiced for
Speaker 1: two weeks. Over two weeks and then actually returned to
Speaker 1: practice on Thursday when they went into pads in a
Speaker 1: limited capacity. This guy is probably the best in the
Speaker 1: game right now. Matt la Floor touched on it as
Speaker 1: well this week. You have to find a way to
Speaker 1: stop him. So I look at the San Francisco offense
Speaker 1: and and certainly Jimmy Garoppolo is a force to be feared.
Speaker 1: He showed he could win a football game what he
Speaker 1: needs to when the auxiliary parts are not there for him.
Speaker 1: But San Francisco, what they do well in these condensed
Speaker 1: formations is running the football and getting the ball to
Speaker 1: Kittle and the guys in the middle of the field.
Speaker 1: Those are the two outlets this defense has to shut down.
Speaker 1: And there's a lot of work to do for Green Bay.
Speaker 1: It's one thing to say that, it's another thing to
Speaker 1: put that into practicality. They had some issues. They sat back,
Speaker 1: they looked at the explosive plays that they allowed during
Speaker 1: the bye week, and now they're trying to find some
Speaker 1: answers for it. This is as tough as a test
Speaker 1: as the Packers are going to get in terms of
Speaker 1: the offense to tacks the middle of the field, and
Speaker 1: they have to be ready for Yeah, I mean, it
Speaker 1: sounds kind of crazy with Jimmy Garoppolo coming off of
Speaker 1: a four hundred yard four touchdown game. To sit here
Speaker 1: and say the Packers need to put the ball in
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo's hands, but I really think that's what they
Speaker 1: have to do, because if if you don't slow down
Speaker 1: this running game, and we'll see if Matt Brita is
Speaker 1: going to play or not. But even if he doesn't,
Speaker 1: you still got Tevin Coleman and or he Moster to
Speaker 1: deal with in the backfield. They've They've got multiple guys
Speaker 1: that they will go to regardless. I just think if
Speaker 1: if the Packers cannot slow down the running game, it's
Speaker 1: not gonna matter that much the whole Garoppolo and Kittle
Speaker 1: and everything. And like I say, it sounds kind of
Speaker 1: crazy to say that, because if George Kittle is back,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo coming off of a four d yard four
Speaker 1: touchdown game without a weapon like that, um, he obviously
Speaker 1: can be extremely dangerous in the passing game. But I
Speaker 1: think the Packers have to try to turn this into
Speaker 1: a passing game for the Fortys in order to beat them,
Speaker 1: because if they pound away on the ground, I think
Speaker 1: it becomes a really, really long day for the Packers defense,
Speaker 1: it's like a boxing match, right. I mean, a guy
Speaker 1: might have a good uppercut, but if you got to
Speaker 1: watch out for their their left hook, that's where you
Speaker 1: have to you know, neutralize that and then you know,
Speaker 1: hope you defend the rest of it well enough. That's
Speaker 1: what the present. They have a multiple different variations of
Speaker 1: how they can hurt you offensively. Garoppolo is a part
Speaker 1: of that and Kindles a part of that, but they
Speaker 1: can really do damage if they get that second rank
Speaker 1: run defense going early and often. They had to make
Speaker 1: some modifications here. Brita is a big part of their
Speaker 1: home run potential of that offense. Most Dirt has been
Speaker 1: a guy that's filled in there the last two years
Speaker 1: and done a nice job and kept himself in that rotation.
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman is the guy that between the tackles will
Speaker 1: continue to punch you in the mouth every single play
Speaker 1: if you let him. Arizona sold out to a certain extent.
Speaker 1: They were fundamentally sound and how they were able to
Speaker 1: defend that running game the last two weeks. I think
Speaker 1: what green they has to do is keep a similar
Speaker 1: mentality with that and even if Garoppolo gets some yards.
Speaker 1: And I understand people want to give up a hundred
Speaker 1: passing yards a game. I get it. But if you
Speaker 1: put the ball out there, that puts the ball in jeopardy.
Speaker 1: It allows your playmakers and your ball ball hawks to
Speaker 1: potentially get a takeaway, a game changing turnover. That's the
Speaker 1: area for success here, because if they're looking at a
Speaker 1: bunch of second and favorable third and favorables, that's when
Speaker 1: the teeth really start to show. With Kittle and with Deebo,
Speaker 1: Samuel Emmanuel Sanders in that passing game, that's what they
Speaker 1: can really hurt you. Yeah, well, turnovers we will certainly
Speaker 1: be a factor here in this game as well. And
Speaker 1: as I said in Insider Inbox, I don't know if
Speaker 1: the Packers necessarily have to win the turnover battle in
Speaker 1: order to win the game, but I don't think they
Speaker 1: can lose the turnover battle. You at least have to
Speaker 1: be able to break even here and not give that
Speaker 1: forty nine or defense with the twenty two takeaways a
Speaker 1: big edge, any kind of an edge really in the
Speaker 1: takeaway battle. Garoppolos thrown ten interceptions. As I say, if
Speaker 1: the Packers can put the ball in his hands, maybe
Speaker 1: you do get a pick a deflected pass, I means
Speaker 1: something that can turn the tide there. What what are
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the whole turner turnover equation heading into
Speaker 1: this one. You gotta take care of business, and you're right,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it comes down to is it's
Speaker 1: as simple as okay. If the Packers win the turnover
Speaker 1: margin or they lose the turnover margin, that's gonna be
Speaker 1: the difference in the ball game. These are two really
Speaker 1: good football teams. There's gonna be a lot of things
Speaker 1: in play, time of possession, red zone offense, third down efficiency,
Speaker 1: all those things are going to weigh out of ultimately
Speaker 1: determined a victor in this game. But turnovers are huge
Speaker 1: and San Francisco knows how to play through them. But
Speaker 1: they also generate a lot too. They get a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure on the quarterback and that allows those guys
Speaker 1: in the secondary to be able to take advantage of it.
Speaker 1: Richard Sherman three interceptions this year, returning to form after
Speaker 1: some you know, nasty and early injuries the last few seasons.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a big battle against Davante Adams. But
Speaker 1: for the Green Bay Packers, they do protect the ball
Speaker 1: pretty well and they take it away. And if you can,
Speaker 1: you and I can discuss this, we can have a
Speaker 1: three hour show where we talk about what the Packers
Speaker 1: have done right and what they've done wrong this season.
Speaker 1: The biggest area, number one, right at the top of
Speaker 1: the pyramid is the fact that they've won those turnovers
Speaker 1: and they've been able to maintain momentum and capitalize when
Speaker 1: they've gotten those takeaways. There has to be that element
Speaker 1: of this game. I don't care if it's five, I
Speaker 1: don't care if it's one, but you probably got to
Speaker 1: generate a touchdown off a takeaway here to be able
Speaker 1: to keep pace with what San Francisco offers. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: they're not going to give you a lot opportunities defensively. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: I agree with you there. I agree entirely offensively for
Speaker 1: the Packers to when you talk about a game, you're
Speaker 1: going into thinking that against this defense, you're only going
Speaker 1: to get so many shots. You're only going to get
Speaker 1: so many bites at the apple, so to speak. If
Speaker 1: the Packers are going to clean up the penalties, the
Speaker 1: false starts, the delayed games, the holding penalties, the things
Speaker 1: that have that have set them back and prevented them
Speaker 1: from being as efficient offensively as I think we've seen
Speaker 1: that they can be. This is the game to do that,
Speaker 1: because um it will opportunities will be difficult to come
Speaker 1: and if you get behind the chains against this defense,
Speaker 1: this pass rush, I mean a pass rush that gets
Speaker 1: the job done with four that doesn't have to send
Speaker 1: a whole lot of blitzes and whatnot. They can rush
Speaker 1: for and cover seven all night long against Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: they can make things difficult. So you don't want to.
Speaker 1: You can't turn your second and fours into second and
Speaker 1: nines with a false start, is what I'm saying, because
Speaker 1: that will really really cost you against this defense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and and that's what really sticks out to me in
Speaker 1: this game is that the areas where Green Bay has
Speaker 1: wanted to make improvements and where they need to make
Speaker 1: improvements in the second half of the season, all of
Speaker 1: them are going to be tested against San Francisco. When
Speaker 1: you look at how they can attack the middle of
Speaker 1: the field, When you look at how defensively they are
Speaker 1: able to get home with pressure and not having to
Speaker 1: send that extra man, even being able to keep guys
Speaker 1: back play solid coverage, be up on their fundamentals. That's
Speaker 1: why San Francisco is where they is where they are.
Speaker 1: Excuse me there, you guys, what is either way? Uh?
Speaker 1: And Matt Lafleur discussed it this week too. They are
Speaker 1: a couple of plays away from me an a tenant
Speaker 1: old football team going into this thing. They are dangerous, volatile,
Speaker 1: and they can find different ways to make you submit
Speaker 1: in certain ways. And I think that's why they've been
Speaker 1: able to win, you know, the games that they have
Speaker 1: in these recent weeks when maybe they're giving up a
Speaker 1: few more points, is because they're resilient enough to be
Speaker 1: able to find ways to do that. And that's actually
Speaker 1: real testament to them because when you just are holding
Speaker 1: teams to load mount of points, few amount of yards,
Speaker 1: it's difficult when you start to give those up to
Speaker 1: be able to just find that calling card again and
Speaker 1: revert back to it. San Francisco has done that. And
Speaker 1: the other area that I'm very fascinated to watch how
Speaker 1: this thing plays out is that they just don't give
Speaker 1: the opposition a lot of free passes. Whether it is
Speaker 1: the takeaways, whether it is the penalties. They played pretty
Speaker 1: clean football for how many weeks did you hear me?
Speaker 1: Come on the show, I can talk about them being
Speaker 1: the big fundamental And there were a lot of pundits
Speaker 1: out there, I'm not going to name names that wanted
Speaker 1: to talk about the Saints. They want to talk about Seattle,
Speaker 1: they wanted to talk about these Everybody kind of just
Speaker 1: overlooks San Francisco for some reason. And I was sitting there, going, Guys,
Speaker 1: this team right now now. They might not have Drew Brees,
Speaker 1: they might not have these superstars that jump off the pageio,
Speaker 1: but kind of like those early two thousand tens forty
Speaker 1: Niners teams, they just got a bunch of guys that
Speaker 1: do their jobs really well and that is what has
Speaker 1: put them in a position right now to be at
Speaker 1: the top spot in the NFC. Yeah, there are a
Speaker 1: lot of interesting matchups in this game as we look
Speaker 1: ahead to You already mentioned Davante Adams against Richard Sherman.
Speaker 1: We're certainly going to see that affair amount. David Baktiari
Speaker 1: will be against Nick Bosa um the second go round
Speaker 1: with with Abosa brother for the Packers this season, Um
Speaker 1: Joe Staley if he plays for the forty owners, he
Speaker 1: is on the injury report, and also Mike McGlinchey, their
Speaker 1: other offensive tackle. Those two guys against the Smiths. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know for the Packers on the edge, Um, is
Speaker 1: there one of those types of matchups in this game
Speaker 1: that jumps off the page at you the most. Well,
Speaker 1: first off, it's definitely the left tackle situation for the
Speaker 1: forty niners. If you know you're in a position where
Speaker 1: Staley still not able to come back and he has
Speaker 1: not yet returned to practice here, well, then that becomes
Speaker 1: an area that you think, you know, Mike Patton is
Speaker 1: gonna look towards to potentially generate some pressure and opportunities.
Speaker 1: Eighteen and a half sacks for the Smiths coming into
Speaker 1: this game, and I'm sure you know, not even just
Speaker 1: lining them up across from left tackle, but just being
Speaker 1: able to move those guys around and be unpredictable. That
Speaker 1: could be a big key for them. I also think
Speaker 1: it really does come down if George Kittle is playing
Speaker 1: this game, how you defend him? Is that Ibraheim Campbell
Speaker 1: who played forty two snaps against Carolina? Is he your
Speaker 1: best option? There? Is it having Adrian Amos trail him
Speaker 1: a little bit? Is it a guy like Tremont Williams
Speaker 1: and in certain situations, it's going to be the inside linebackers,
Speaker 1: or or are you flat out doubling George Kittle every
Speaker 1: time he's on the field, and you're counting on Alexander
Speaker 1: and King and Tremont Williams for that matter, to match
Speaker 1: up one on one with Emmanuel Sanders and Deebo Samuel
Speaker 1: and whoever else is out there. Maybe that's the approach,
Speaker 1: because because Kittle is just that dynamic, he changes, he
Speaker 1: changes games so much. When he gets gone, well, he
Speaker 1: loves you, right, I mean, the reason why he had
Speaker 1: as many yards as he did last year is because
Speaker 1: he's so darn effective and first in ten and being
Speaker 1: able to to get the yardage and keep the chains moving.
Speaker 1: But then every once in a while he breaks that
Speaker 1: big play that can be such a big difference. And
Speaker 1: that's what stands out to me about this. Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 1: offense bunch formations, condense formations, motions, misdirections, things that challenge
Speaker 1: the communication of a defense. And then, oh, by the way,
Speaker 1: once the ball is actually snapped. They have so many
Speaker 1: different guys with so many different skill sets that are
Speaker 1: going to stress you in split second decision situations where
Speaker 1: if you fall behind, They're going to be able to
Speaker 1: get the necessary timing for Jimmy Garoppolo to get the
Speaker 1: ball out. So that that's the area that I think
Speaker 1: Kittle has just been exceptional. And it doesn't even really
Speaker 1: matter who the quarterback has been for San Francisco, he
Speaker 1: still is just always accountable, always available, and the best friend, Mike.
Speaker 1: I don't care how good your receivers are. I don't
Speaker 1: care how good your running backs are. The best friend
Speaker 1: for a quarterback is a dynamic tight end that makes
Speaker 1: himself available in the middle of the field. You've seen
Speaker 1: it since the beginning of time with this league, ever
Speaker 1: since that that position was created. You've seen it with
Speaker 1: this offense. In particular, when the tight ends get going.
Speaker 1: George Kittle is the guy. He has been the guy
Speaker 1: for the last few seasons. And along with stopping the
Speaker 1: run and not allowing them to leak and get those
Speaker 1: extra yards and have the favorable down and distance, you
Speaker 1: have to find a way, regardless of who the player
Speaker 1: is or what number it gets, you know, called upon,
Speaker 1: to be able to find a way to stop him. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: as we've been talking about all week, this is a
Speaker 1: big one. Forty are nine and one. The Packers are
Speaker 1: eight and two. You look at what else is going
Speaker 1: on around the NFL in Week twelve. If I've got
Speaker 1: that bio always messes you, Yeah, well it messes me
Speaker 1: up to I'm getting older. But the New Orleans Saints
Speaker 1: also eight and two. The Seattle Seahawks also eight into.
Speaker 1: The Minnesota Vikings are eight and three. They are on
Speaker 1: their bye week, and the Vikings and the Viking fans
Speaker 1: will be sitting on their couches on Sunday night hoping
Speaker 1: that they'll be going back to work on Monday in
Speaker 1: a tie for first place in the NFC North if
Speaker 1: the forty Niners beat the Packers. The Packers, of course
Speaker 1: trying to maintain that one game lead on Minnesota in
Speaker 1: the division. The game that was flexed out of the
Speaker 1: Sunday night game, which as the Packers and Forday Nights
Speaker 1: took this slot, was Seattle on the road at Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Now the Philadelphia Eagles, you talk about a talented team
Speaker 1: that has had injuries and ups and downs and everything else.
Speaker 1: They they are five and five. They have looked like
Speaker 1: a five and five team. They've just say they've ridden
Speaker 1: the roller coaster all season long. But they're playing at home.
Speaker 1: We all know, you know, there are some strange statistics
Speaker 1: about West Coast teams playing in the Eastern time zone
Speaker 1: at that one o'clock Eastern because that's you know, ten
Speaker 1: am Pacific for a kickoff for those teams. So that'll
Speaker 1: be interesting here. And the Seahawks are coming off of
Speaker 1: their by, but they were in some dog fights the
Speaker 1: last couple of games before there by. They had to
Speaker 1: go to overtime to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, they
Speaker 1: went to overtime to beat the San Francisco forty Niners.
Speaker 1: This is a really interesting game to me. Philadelphia wanting
Speaker 1: to try to keep pace with Dallas in the NFC
Speaker 1: East in a division race that's still very much up
Speaker 1: for grabs, and the Seahawks, much like the Vikings, they're
Speaker 1: going to be hoping that if they can get a
Speaker 1: win and the Packers get a win, then the Seahawks
Speaker 1: will would be in first place with the Niners in
Speaker 1: the NFC West, kind of like with the Cardinals and
Speaker 1: what I was talking about this week. I mentioned it
Speaker 1: more in inbox than I did on the show, where
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are probably gonn end up being a seven
Speaker 1: and nine, eight and eight team that I want nothing
Speaker 1: to do with. The Philadelphia Eagles are one of those
Speaker 1: teams too, because they can play with anybody in this league.
Speaker 1: And the tough thing is, I think sometimes people have
Speaker 1: a hard time rationalized in this because there is only
Speaker 1: six playoff spots needs conference. Good teams can be eight
Speaker 1: and eight, like you can actually be a good team
Speaker 1: that is eight and eight. Heck, maybe even seven and
Speaker 1: nine on occasion, just when the ball doesn't bounce a
Speaker 1: certain way where you just don't get up for certain games.
Speaker 1: Philadelphia has sort of been one of those teams, and
Speaker 1: not just this year, the last couple of seasons. You know,
Speaker 1: a team that's just always been hovering right around five
Speaker 1: hundred but can play with the best of them. The
Speaker 1: two most compelling matchups for me, outside of obviously this
Speaker 1: game that did give flex of Sunday Night Football are
Speaker 1: Seattle traveling to Philadelphia for the reasons that you outlined,
Speaker 1: and then also the Carolina Panthers happy to go to
Speaker 1: the Superdome to face New Orleans Saints. Both the Eagles
Speaker 1: and the Panthers are five and five. They are on
Speaker 1: the precipice here of trying to stay in the race
Speaker 1: for the playoffs there and they're in danger in in
Speaker 1: a loaded NFC, they're in danger. You pick up your
Speaker 1: sixth loss before Thanksgiving, you're in danger of falling out
Speaker 1: of it entirely. And you know, Mike McCarthy always talked
Speaker 1: about you need to be ten and six and then
Speaker 1: you can start talking about playoffs. And in order to
Speaker 1: be able to be contend and actually be a legitimate
Speaker 1: playoff team, you have to beat teams that are not
Speaker 1: only seeming destined for the playoffs, but teams that are
Speaker 1: going to contend for a Super Bowl here, They're gonna
Speaker 1: contend for an NFC championship. They're going to make that
Speaker 1: push once the calendar turns to two thousand twenty. So
Speaker 1: for Philadelphia, this is a gut check. It's a gut
Speaker 1: check for Carson Wentz. Can he be the quarterback weekend
Speaker 1: and week out that they need him to be. You know,
Speaker 1: what is their identity running the ball? Is it Jordan Howard?
Speaker 1: Is Jordan Howard going to be available? I mean, like
Speaker 1: there's all these different things that they have to check off,
Speaker 1: because while they are talented, just always seems like they've
Speaker 1: just come up one or two plays short from being
Speaker 1: the team that I think everybody expecting to be. I
Speaker 1: me personally going into the year, I thought, with Carson
Speaker 1: Wentz back, this is going to be the champion in
Speaker 1: that division. I don't care. You know. There was all
Speaker 1: the mess and situations and talk and what was going
Speaker 1: on in Dallas and Zeke Elliott was even gonna play
Speaker 1: when when when we saw the Eagles at lambeau Field
Speaker 1: in week four and again this is the Eagles riding
Speaker 1: the roller coaster. They look to me like they would
Speaker 1: win the NFC East in week four, I thought, you know, okay,
Speaker 1: this this team is going to put it together. They're
Speaker 1: gonna get rolling. It hasn't happened. Now, hasn't happened for
Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East either. They are
Speaker 1: six and four. They have to go on that they
Speaker 1: have to go on the road to New England. So
Speaker 1: if you're the Eagles here, you you look at this,
Speaker 1: You look at this and go, okay, we're five and
Speaker 1: five after ten games. We don't really like where we are,
Speaker 1: but hey, you know what if we can win at
Speaker 1: home against a playoff contender in Seattle, and if the
Speaker 1: Cowboys go out to Foxboro and get beat You're sitting
Speaker 1: there tied six and five with the Dallas Cowboys for
Speaker 1: the lead in the NFC East with five games to go,
Speaker 1: and they have one more head to head matchup coming
Speaker 1: up later this season as well. So um, for all
Speaker 1: of the ups and downs that the Eagles have gone through,
Speaker 1: they are absolutely right in this thing, especially if they
Speaker 1: can get a win over Seattle and another. True, the
Speaker 1: reality is there's a very good chance that that team
Speaker 1: that wins that division could very well end up being
Speaker 1: nine and seven, eight and eights. So you gotta keep
Speaker 1: yourself in that. But if they do, whoever it is,
Speaker 1: you get a home game in the playoffs because you're
Speaker 1: a division champs, right, So I mean in Seattle Seahawks
Speaker 1: with the six and ten record or whatever it was, Yes,
Speaker 1: they were, they were seven and nine, and they beat
Speaker 1: the they beat the New Orleans Saints. Just get in.
Speaker 1: You never know. That's what makes this week so interesting though,
Speaker 1: because there are a lot of bad football games, but
Speaker 1: there's really like five or six that have just these
Speaker 1: incredible implications for the rest of the season. When we
Speaker 1: talked about the Panthers trying to stay with an arm's reach,
Speaker 1: of the Saints as they run away with that division.
Speaker 1: You got the Jaguars and the Titans both hovering around five.
Speaker 1: They're trying to, you know, take something with this. The
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders need to beat the New York Jets here
Speaker 1: to be seven and four. The Oakland Raiders could be
Speaker 1: seven and four. Can they need to beat the New
Speaker 1: York Jets who suddenly started winning some football games. And
Speaker 1: then finally again where this thing just keeps getting more
Speaker 1: and more difficult for the l A Rams. You know,
Speaker 1: you got Seattle, you have San Francisco. In order to
Speaker 1: avoid six and four, you have to beat the hottest
Speaker 1: team in the NFL, in the Baltimore Ravens. Good luck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's uh that that's that's an interesting one. Baltimore are
Speaker 1: traveling cross country out to l A to play the Rams.
Speaker 1: The Rams coming off of a victory over the Chicago Bears,
Speaker 1: but a victory that a lot of people said, you know,
Speaker 1: you didn't really look all that good. You got the win. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you know this Baltimore Ravens team coming in very
Speaker 1: different offense than the one that the Rams faced with
Speaker 1: the Mitch Drabinsky and the Chicago Bears. So that's an
Speaker 1: intriguing one. And for anyone out there in the Nation's Capital,
Speaker 1: I hear Lions Redskins you can get tickets on the
Speaker 1: secondary market for like five bucks for that. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what I heard. So that's out there. Not that that's
Speaker 1: a great note to close on the thing with Washington
Speaker 1: right now. Yeah, Washington. With Detroit having their backup quarterback,
Speaker 1: and I mean it's that that's uh, that's one of
Speaker 1: those that's that's down on the list this week. As
Speaker 1: you said, it's sort of a it's a slate of
Speaker 1: you got a handful of games that it seems like
Speaker 1: nobody's really going to care about, but then you've got
Speaker 1: a handful of games that are really really intriguing on
Speaker 1: the schedule. It is funny though. I mean, Pittsburgh is
Speaker 1: going to owen ten Cincinnati, Yeah, Dolphins are playing the Browns. Great.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, the Bears thing. The Bear is going to
Speaker 1: face the New York Giants. So yeah, it's just a
Speaker 1: lot of things that make you just kind of be like, okay,
Speaker 1: but then those five other games, man, it's almost playoffs season. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: Well with that, we will call it a wrap on
Speaker 1: this edition of Packer's own script, and be sure to
