1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL Podcast, would never tank for a

2
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 1: better draft pick? From the Chris Westling podcast studio, It's

3
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: Around the NFL the podcast The Flagship Show, Week seventeen.

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 1: I'm Dan Kansas. Heroes here, Greg Rosetal and Mark Sessler.

5
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: They have boys. Penultimate one of my favorite words, penultimate

6
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: week in the regular season. I did wake up at

7
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: about three fourteen am. Um, nice joke that you slept

8
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: at all. No, I did that. I did fall asleep,

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: deep into a deep sleep and woke up in that

10
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: mind haze where I was convince myself that not that

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: this was the final week of the season, because it

12
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 1: was weeks seventeen. I just thought it was week eighteen.

13
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: And then about twenty seven seconds later, as consciousness started

14
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,800
Speaker 1: to take over, Um, I was slapped in the face

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: psychologically hard. It's been it's been a tough one. It's

16
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: been a year like we are remarkably fortunate to have

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 1: the jobs that we do. We love jobs. But when

18
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 1: the calendar falls every five or six or seven years,

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: when things lined up, Happy New Year, everybody, uh, and

20
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: we have a full slate of games. For instance, Um,

21
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: I'll be having some ibuprofrind rolled in here shortly because

22
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: the bullet whiskey that I had last night for New

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: Year's even still in the system, hasn't left yet. Well,

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sober, but in my head pain. Um.

25
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 1: I also thought this was the end of the regular

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: season right before and then I think that was just

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: like a miccrackt Week seventeen. I feel like it's like

28
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: that because it feels like the end. Often we we

29
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: get rid of a lot of teams, a lot of

30
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: tickets are punched, and the eight teen, the last week,

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: often feels like a little bit of anti climactic. So

32
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: maybe maybe we can push the NFL to just end

33
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: the regular season a week early. I don't know how

34
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: that would work. Yeah, I'm sure that would lose through

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: that single dollar loss would negate that as an option.

36
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: And since you mentioned it, let's uh, let's say goodbye

37
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: to some teams before we get into spoiler rundown. A

38
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: little spoiler for people out there, the officially the following

39
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: teams have been officially eliminated. Mark, This will lift your spirits,

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: take them out of your brain. Not all of them,

41
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: but okay, So the Washington Commanders, the Las Vegas Rioters,

42
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints, the Carolina Pounds, and yes, how

43
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: New York Jets. That the Jets doesn't make me happy

44
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: and the Panthers doesn't make me happy either. Yeah, this

45
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: was a season of sneaky collapses, uh for a lot

46
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: of teams out of nowhere. We'll get to it. We'll

47
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: get to it. Let's start, though, um with a game

48
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: that was not um closely contested, but very interesting in

49
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: the scheme of the NFC and the race for the

50
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: Lombardi Trophy increasingly looking as if maybe both these teams

51
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: will be playing uh in the postseason. Certainly one and

52
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: the one that's definitely in was licking their wounds. At

53
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: the end of Sunday's action set up, out of the shotgun,

54
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: he fires it over the middle. Hey, it's cooked it up,

55
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: in complete, recepted on little flection picked off by Darnell Savage.

56
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: Come the up side of the forty please got an

57
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: ness court to the twenty fifty ten five touchdown freen

58
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. My goodness, that is what you call a

59
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: tone center for the Green Bay Packers, who, with their

60
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: playoff lives on the line, absolutely housed the fraudulent Minnesota

61
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: Vikings forty one to seventeen at Lambeau Field. That was

62
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: Darniell Savage, yes, with the pick six, and it only

63
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: got uglier from there for the Vikings, who entered the

64
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: game at twelve and three final score. Uh, Greg Rosen thought,

65
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: but this was a game that wast three with ten

66
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: minutes to go. And this is now, you know, not

67
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: the first time the supposedly mighty Vikings have been absolutely

68
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: trounced by a half decent team. They trailed by more

69
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: than twenty at halftime for the third time this year.

70
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: That's the most of any team in the NFL, along

71
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: them tied with the Texans. I'm glad we started with

72
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: the Savage return because this defense, and I'll throw the

73
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: special teams in there too, with Keshaw Nixon who's been

74
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: dynamite lately and had the first touchdown of the game,

75
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: a hundred and five yard kickoff return. But it's really

76
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: been the defense and the special teams that's helped turn

77
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: this season around. And the defense in this game was

78
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: put on the field at the one yard line after

79
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: the Packers had an early punt block, and they had

80
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: a terrific goal line stand three straight stuffs of the

81
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: of the Vikings force a field goal, then they get

82
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: the return touchdown, they get the interception return touchdown, and

83
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: Jaire Alexander had one of the s games any cornerback

84
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: has had all season long. He traveled with Justin Jefferson

85
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: for most of the day. More than half of the

86
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: past routes that Jefferson ran, Alexander was on him. On

87
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: those twenty routes, targeted five times, only one catch by Jefferson,

88
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: and passes defense. It didn't matter what the Packers offense

89
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: did in this game. The defense and the special teams

90
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,159
Speaker 1: won it for him. It makes you think about the

91
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: Packers in a different way because they had all their

92
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: issues all season long, and a lot of it was

93
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: just focused on where's the m v P version of Rogers.

94
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: Why is this offense lacking? You know, pre Christian Watson

95
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: a viable wide receiver, the defense in the defense, you know,

96
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: in certain metrical ways like looked promising. But today, to

97
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: your point, Greg, like the Nixon kick return, the Darnell

98
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: Savage pick six. These things happened at a point in

99
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: the first quarter where they're up fourteen nothing, fourteen points

100
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: and they had four They had fifteen yards on offense.

101
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: So it's like the offense, this isn't just green this

102
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: isn't just rise and fall with Aaron Rodgers every week,

103
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: and I mean gyro. Alexander did not track with Justin

104
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: Jefferson in that Week one game nearly as much. And

105
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: that's when he had eighty four yards. He had zero

106
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: in the first half. This is one of those games

107
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings have done this that Dallas game, they gave

108
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: up forty points thirty six in that collapse to the Cults,

109
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: thirty four to the Lions, thirty to the Bills. That

110
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: your defense is who you're stuck with in Minnesota right now.

111
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: And I thought that Alexander defeated Justin Jefferson, who entered

112
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: the game as a sneaky m VP contender if you

113
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: wanted to look at at a wide receiver as even

114
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: having an opportunity in that realm, and he beat him

115
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: mentally and physically, and leading into the week, he had

116
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: the comments at his locker calling that huge Week one

117
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: by Jefferson against Green Bay a fluke, and you could

118
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: see once Jefferson was getting frustrated on the field and

119
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: Alexander is playing great and the Vikings offense was just

120
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: completely asleep, Jefferson kind of losing his cool and unable

121
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: to kind of process the moment and stay in the game.

122
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: At one point, he almost bashed up an officials over

123
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 1: the back, like Randy Savage hitting whole Cogan with a

124
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: steel chair in WrestleMania five. Like this, it was like

125
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: a complete meltdown from Minnesota. He didn't say official that

126
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: was there, and he like lifted his helmet as if

127
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: to slam it down, ran into the official and then

128
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: sort of could have been horrible. I'm glad that it

129
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: didn't happen that way. I know. I know Vikings fans

130
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: have gotten on us for not giving them the credit

131
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: due left and right and talking about the offense leaving

132
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: everyone else by the side of the road. But there's

133
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: a stretch here when they the game was manageable and

134
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: they unfurrow an interception, they miss a field goal, another interception,

135
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: than a mess field goal, then a fumble, then a pick,

136
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: and then a bunch of garbage time nonsense. It's like

137
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: this is the Viking, the version of the Vikings that

138
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: are very hard to try to be fair. The one

139
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: thing they've done better than almost any team this year

140
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: is play clean football. They have not been a turnover team,

141
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: they have not been a penalized team. They had not

142
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: been a pre snap penalty team, and they were all

143
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: of today. Kenny Clark force Fumbo was another big defensive play.

144
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: Cousins melted down a little bit on that forced fumble play.

145
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: Cousins didn't see that. Immediately before the snap, Justin Jefferson

146
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: was covered by Preston Smith, a defensive lineman, and Kirk

147
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: Cousins held the ball and then it got taken away

148
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: and he was fritzen out. And it's partly because he

149
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: lost his center immediately in this game, who was already

150
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: their backup center, and and Romo pointed out smartly, I

151
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: think like they couldn't change the call, so they're on

152
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 1: their third string center. They might get him back, but

153
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: there are other um offensive lineman that left this game

154
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: was Brian O'Neill, their right tackle, who was carded off.

155
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: So it's really a nightmare scenario for the Vikings, possibly

156
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: letting the Packers into the playoffs, probably losing the number

157
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,439
Speaker 1: two seed, definitely losing home field advantage chances, and you're

158
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: starting to look at you know, you start to peek

159
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: ahead and with the playoffs. Uh could look like the

160
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: Giants will get to there in the dance, and there's

161
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: a very good chance. Now you could be a Giants

162
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: Vikings rematch. Those teams played very closely on Christmas Eve,

163
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: and and the Vikings might even if that ends up happening,

164
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: or whoever they get in Round one, they might sneak

165
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: out another close win. But do not tell me that

166
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: this team is a serious Super Bowl contender. I don't

167
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: want to hear it. I've seen it too many times

168
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: this year. You may win a close game in round one,

169
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: but you are fodder, cannon fodder at some point in January.

170
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: I've just seen too much. It's almost in a lock

171
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: that they will win a playoff game in the fashion

172
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: they've won all these other insane games. Probably a big

173
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: comeback and we'll think, you know what, they can do

174
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 1: that against whoever they're playing the next week, and then

175
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: the floor will fall out because you cannot run away

176
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: from this team. They'll probably have to play two road

177
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: games against two really good teams now, so this this

178
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: will have an impact. They're now negative nineteen on the

179
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: season in terms of their point differential, twelve and four.

180
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: The Packers and the Lions are both plus point differential

181
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 1: uh at eight and A. And the Packers, even though

182
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: Rogers didn't play an amazing game and like every part

183
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: of their team hasn't always been perfect week to week,

184
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: they're playing their best football without a doubt right now.

185
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: And I had much rather be playing the Giants or

186
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: the Vikings for that matter, in Round one of the

187
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: playoffs than the Packers if the screen. But we will see,

188
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: we will see. We got a lot to get to

189
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: talk about. These other NFC teams. Have to be slightly

190
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: agitated at the Vikings for just allowing the Green batle

191
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: waltz into the scenario here. How are you by the

192
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: way mark? Because I know you didn't want Green Bay

193
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: anyway to near the post. I think differently about them,

194
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 1: because you know what I don't like is the thirteen

195
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: and three team that you They fold the tent and

196
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 1: they've done that over and over. This team is weird.

197
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: I don't think you like any version of the Packers.

198
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm honestly like this. This they're not They're not on

199
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: my radar is an annoying concept right now. They're kind

200
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,319
Speaker 1: of the opposite. I do like though, because it's the packers.

201
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: How Mark agreed that he'd be the one to pay

202
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: the charity, the green Bay based charity, if they end

203
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: up making I would love to help the people in

204
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: green Bay. So they need to win one more game

205
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: they're winning in. Now I get to pick what the

206
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: charity is, though, Yes, I mean I would. I would

207
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: see us something like an orphanage or a local suggests.

208
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: We'll see. I'll come up with something. Can't be something

209
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: that goes back to you through some type of but

210
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: I it's like, who do I want to help? What

211
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 1: kind of who I do? Who do I feel? Can

212
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: you benefit you? Though? Mark, in terms of the four Committee,

213
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: we need to have some launt her money back into

214
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: my bank account. I'm saying I might just pick an

215
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: eight typical okay target. All right, So we mentioned that

216
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: the Vikings finally left an opening now uh for San

217
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: Francisco to move up in the NFC seating. Did they

218
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: take advantage of it? To the desert it's pretty good.

219
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna throw up Landford Vante Adams. It's intersected, yes,

220
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 1: thank you. The other one thirty tony five just rote

221
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: pills Flagg down like Judy Garland. Now it's on the

222
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: three yard line. Do you're bringing Robbie right now and

223
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: you can't get how do you handle this? Yes? There

224
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: it is. Bongo deserves it. Wild games as I pop

225
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: my pills, I mean, if we're requesting substances from behind

226
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 1: the glass, I mean, like, I know, stop, that's what

227
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: I Greg Papa with the call k n b R

228
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: big interception and overtime by the Niners, who finally have

229
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: a really down day on defense. Jared's Stidham, of all people,

230
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: lights him up, including a late drive to tie the

231
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: game and pushing into overtime. But when it came down

232
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: to it, they got the big stop and overtime, kicked

233
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: the field goal subsequently and escaped thirty seven thirty four,

234
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: So yet another win for the Niners and the Raiders. Yes,

235
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: eliminated with the loss. Mark Sessler, your thoughts totally bizarre

236
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: occurrence because we spent all week thinking, well, you've essentially

237
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: given up on your season because in a solid quarterback

238
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: and Derek Carr, you're just You're he's been flushed out

239
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,560
Speaker 1: of the organization at this point, he's un followed them

240
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: on social media. The last time we saw Jared Stidham

241
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 1: play it was like, you're you're just asking to get

242
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: romped two games in a row to end the season,

243
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: and Josh McDaniels somehow protected all of this mess. Stidham

244
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: looked incredible. I mean, he's never thrown from more than

245
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: I believe seventy five yards in a game, three hundred

246
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: sixty five yards, three touchdowns, a hundred and twenty three rating,

247
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: Especially in the first half. I thought what the Raiders

248
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: did was very interesting and it reminded me kind of

249
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: of what happened with Brock Purty when he had his

250
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: first start. Was we're not going to dial back the

251
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: offense or try to just hand the ball off to

252
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs four hundred times. We're going to attack down field.

253
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 1: And he looked like he had been practicing and working

254
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 1: with Davante Adams for months. I mean, he just looked

255
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 1: just It was the most comfortable looking quarterback performance by

256
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 1: any quarterback in the in the Raiders system I've seen

257
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 1: in a long time. And it's not really a knock

258
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: on Derek Harve, but it's just kind of like, how

259
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: weird can these seasons get? Because who would have thought

260
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 1: two months ago you're getting Jared Stidham versus Brock Purty,

261
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: and it's two of the better perform mints is we've

262
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: seen all day long. And I mean for Purty. I

263
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: thought this Niners team in general, they were tested today.

264
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: Suddenly you give up five hundred yards of offense um.

265
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: This is a team that hadn't been scored on in

266
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: the final two minutes all year, and that happened to them.

267
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: And so they went into overtime in a situation where

268
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: you could collapse psychologically if you want to. After Robbie

269
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: Gould mrs. Would be field goal to end this thing

270
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: and let this high flying Raiders team come back and

271
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: stamping on you when you thought you get out of

272
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 1: here with an easy win. I thought they're very resilient,

273
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: like the Niners, just order sort of who are they are?

274
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: Who they are? But pretty made all sorts of throws

275
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 1: in this game too, that all their weapons are so

276
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: impossible to stop. Christian McCaffrey was unbelievable in this and

277
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: so it's like they didn't. Had they lost, I think

278
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: would it would have wiped away the sense that the

279
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: Niners actually to me, it doesn't change what I think

280
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 1: about them at all in this They had an off

281
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: day defensively, they were caught off guard by Stidham. Uh,

282
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 1: but they won and they found a way to do it.

283
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: And it's like a lesser team, a team like the Vikings.

284
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: Some of these middle tier teams would have found a

285
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: way to collapse, not San Francisco. It doesn't change how

286
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: I feel about them, but it's a reminder that in

287
00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: two now that we're in and in this season, Yeah,

288
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: if the weather is okay, Like happy New Year, buddy,

289
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: we weren't. We weren't together on New Year's but we're

290
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: together now, always together. We really are always together. Do

291
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: you any defense can get lit up? And I know

292
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: everyone threw that game away because like they were a

293
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: little injured, they were playing the Chiefs, but they had

294
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: the worst performance any defense had all season against the Chiefs. Yes,

295
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: the Raiders had a lot of good players. Happened to them.

296
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: I just think good offense can beat good defense ultimately. Uh.

297
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: And so that's why you need a quarterback to make

298
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: place for you, and pretty to his credit to this point,

299
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: I think has shown that he can make enough plays.

300
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: It's trending towards Deebo Samuel being back for next week's games.

301
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: So that's good for their offense, and they're gonna be

302
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: plenty motivated to beat those Cardinals and get the two.

303
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: This was the first game where I thought a team

304
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: made pretty look a little uncomfortable and he worked his

305
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 1: way out of it. So I just I get you.

306
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: You can point to the Chiefs game. They were so

307
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: banged up their defense back then, and yes, this happened today,

308
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: but this feels more for this defense, I mean yards

309
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: of offense. People need to apologize to Jared's steadhum. I

310
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: hope they kept those apology notes that they sent to

311
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen a couple of years ago. The Patriots apologized

312
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: for letting the better quarterback out of the building today.

313
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: Did we mentioned was Nick Bosa who had the hit

314
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: on yards did now led to the interception that led

315
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: to the game when a field goal. We talked about

316
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: it last week that we thought he might have clinched

317
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year honors. Now he's just patting

318
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: his resume at this point. So another huge Boasta moment.

319
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: And you mentioned McCaffrey. Mark It's I don't think enough

320
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: has been made. Uh, this is the John Lynch's credit

321
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: to Kyle Shanahan's credit. What a huge trade, that was,

322
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: and he has come as advertised and been an absolute

323
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: anchor of their offense. I mean he had nearly two

324
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: hundred yards of total offense in this game. And I

325
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: know the fantasy owners out of there in Championship Week

326
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: are selebrating, uh that as fire right now? Yeah, I

327
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: mean so, yes, I had San Francisco had number one

328
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: of the power rankings. I'll keep them there. It did

329
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,719
Speaker 1: bother me a little bit that when it's thirty seven,

330
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: when they go ahead late, I thought the defense is

331
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: gonna make the stand there and then you just move

332
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 1: on the fact that I got to overtime. I thought

333
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: the Raiders should have went for two. Um. In fact,

334
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: it even looks more ridiculous now that they didn't go

335
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: for two, uh, knowing that San Francisco went right down

336
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: the field. But I know there's some logic to if

337
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: there's too much time in the clock at the end

338
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter, you don't go for two because

339
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't guarantee you the win and there's a chance

340
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,200
Speaker 1: obviously that you could lose. But I would have said

341
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: screw it if I was the Raiders and went for it.

342
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,879
Speaker 1: They didn't, and they get beaten overtime. So their season

343
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: is over in a very strange while it's not over over,

344
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: but their playoff aspirations are gone. I'm glad that you're

345
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: keeping the Niners in the number one spot, like I'm

346
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: not trying to beat this dead horse anymore. But it

347
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: just it doesn't I feel like they had a weird

348
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: game on tap. That's to me. It started to say

349
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: to play, But that's to me why I will take

350
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: the team with Josh Allen or Joe Burrow Patrick Mahomes

351
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: any day, because you just never know what could happen

352
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,879
Speaker 1: on defense. And it is sad to put this Raiders

353
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: season to bed because I know what you look at

354
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: it at six and ten, and we know it's humane

355
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: that we're putting it to bed. To be honest, it's

356
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: it's one of the most insane NFL seasons any team

357
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,719
Speaker 1: has had, just since we started this podcast, just in

358
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: terms of the amount of insane games. The most insane

359
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: the Chailer Jones ending, the Baker Mayfield ending winning on

360
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: the last play and overtime back to back weeks, broncoding

361
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: uh in Seahawks, you lost to Jeff Saturday. You the

362
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: lead against the Jaguars. You didn't score a point against

363
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 1: the Saints, you lost by one in primetime against the Chiefs,

364
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: you lost on a two point conversion at the buzzer

365
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,360
Speaker 1: against the Titans, and you blew a twenty point lead

366
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: against the Cardinal that's all at once. Blew another ten

367
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: point lead today, by the way, did that and after

368
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: everything that Josh McDaniels saw, his move was to knock

369
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: go over two. Obviously they should have went for two

370
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: and they would have got it. Because you just want

371
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: to thrown it to Davante Adams, who, by the way,

372
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be lost in this crazy season. He's amazing

373
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: that the catch he made that's set up their game

374
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 1: time score. There's maybe maybe Jefferson gets it. Maybe you

375
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: could throw out another name makes the play that Davante

376
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: add was made to set up the game time score

377
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. But he goes seven for one,

378
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. That's another guy. The Raiders went out and

379
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: got Adams, just like the Niners went and got McCaffrey.

380
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: Both guys were over two thousand yards from scrimmage. Josh

381
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: Jacob and this team misses the play. If you knew

382
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: all this was gonna happen. You would say, like, I'm

383
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: gonna go put a lot of money on the on

384
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: the Raiders to make the postseason. Not the twelve ft

385
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: tall man in the back, giant spoken quiet two thousand

386
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: and eight Raiders fan, who stick, who has no faith

387
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 1: in this team, more real feelings though you can't hurt

388
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: him and it doesn't strike Raiders. He's a passionate Get

389
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: a camera on the big man, larious. Look, he's gonna

390
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: look at the camera for the first time this season.

391
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: This is why you watch it on YouTube. Everybody, let's

392
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: take a break. The thumbs up maybe you know, let's

393
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 1: take a break and continue on. All right, Welcome back.

394
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: So we talked about the Vikings. They drop in the NFC,

395
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,880
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty Niners move up in the NFC. Yes,

396
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 1: the Eagles the number one seed in the NFC and

397
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: have been all season, but it's starting to get Harry

398
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia, takes the snap, throws a quick one and

399
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: that's big Dog Pig six. Welcome back Marshawn, Happy New

400
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 1: year baby on this earlier and that was just a

401
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: hitch route almost got he jump it all the way.

402
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,160
Speaker 1: That is exactly what the Saints team needed. Good night.

403
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: I love Dan, how you operate as a third or

404
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 1: fourth man in the booth on these calls from the

405
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: wounded animals screaming out up at the start of that

406
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: don't so lackey in me, duce McAllister, there you heard

407
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: and also my cost w W L. Yes, Marshawn Lattimore

408
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: returned an interception eleven yards for a late touchdown, the

409
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: clinching score for the Saints, who at the time, we're

410
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: still alive in the playoff race after they beat the

411
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: Eagles twenty to ten. Let's now welcome in the pipe.

412
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: That's what they all call him. Nick Shook from Ohio Shookie,

413
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: Happy New Year, Happy New Year, fellas. Are you worried

414
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: about the Eagles at this point? What are we thinking? No?

415
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: I think they can't get Jalen Hurts back fast enough

416
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: because for as well as Gardner Minshew played last week,

417
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: their offense lacks the explosive playmaking ability of Jalen Hurts.

418
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,959
Speaker 1: It's really that simple. They had sixty one totally are

419
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: it's in the first half. They had more yards and

420
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: their opening driving the second half than they did in

421
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 1: the entire first half. They lost the time of possession

422
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 1: battle nearly twenty three or seven. It was some seven ten.

423
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: They barely had the ball, they had no plays in

424
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: opposing territory, whereas the Saints were coming up on thirty

425
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: in the first half, so it was essentially going to

426
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 1: be a tale of two halves. And then Gardner Minshoot

427
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 1: throws the pick six that we all saw coming from

428
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 1: basic pre snap leverage in Marshawn Latimore, who made a

429
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,640
Speaker 1: great read on the play, jumped in and walked into

430
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 1: the end zone. Thenny Jalen hurts back. It's really that simple.

431
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 1: I think they'll be in a much better spot, but

432
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: now they're in a position where they're a little threatened

433
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: with that number one seed, the fact that they have

434
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: to now actually play for it in Week eighteen as

435
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: opposed to just coasting there like we thought they would

436
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. So it's an interesting turn of events.

437
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: But I'm not too worried about them overall, because they

438
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 1: still have a great team defensively, one of the better

439
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: pass rushers we've seen the last two decades, at least statistically.

440
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: Uh they need five sacks next week to take over

441
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 1: the all time record for the most sacks from a

442
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: defense in a season, so there's still a good football

443
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 1: It shows how complete they are. I mean, and even

444
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: in recent weeks, and Jalen Hurts had the rare miss

445
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: qughes a couple interceptions. What he does so well, like

446
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: you don't worry about it because he'll back you out

447
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: of any corner and then overtake the opponent with what

448
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: he can do on the ground and through the air.

449
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: If Minsho's making mistakes, you're a mess. And I if

450
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: you look at the splits Lane Johnson did I missed.

451
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 1: I think he missed three games last year, but when

452
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: he was not in there, the offense was affected greatly.

453
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: And uh Minshew took six sacks today without Lane Johnson,

454
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: and I think, like that's another one where it's like,

455
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 1: I know he's gonna be back for the playoffs, but

456
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: this version of the Eagles offense um looked completely asleep

457
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 1: at the wheel for the first time all season. I'd

458
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,720
Speaker 1: be concerned, SHOOKI like, maybe it's not as simple as

459
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 1: just get Hurts back in there. Maybe it is, but

460
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 1: they've kind of lost their flow here that the And

461
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: I know sometimes this word is frowned upon the momentum

462
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: of the season where they were just a like a

463
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: swaggering juggernaut and now you've been humbled a little bit

464
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 1: back to back losses and you need you need this

465
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: win obviously to get uh to get that number one seed.

466
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: Maybe you get the win next week and all this

467
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,160
Speaker 1: is wiped away, probably is, but still there have been

468
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: some issues, the Hurts injury, the Johnson injury. Uh unfortunately,

469
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: Josh sweat Um went down with a neck injury and

470
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: was carted off the field. And Josh sweat by the way,

471
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: is one of four Eagles players with ten plus sacks

472
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: this season. They Maddox last week to who's really a

473
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: player for them? So yeah, along those lines, it's just

474
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: been it's been a tough last few weeks for the

475
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 1: team that I think everyone was universally praising as a

476
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender at a high level. Yeah, I definitely

477
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: think that they're gonna have a tougher road in the

478
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: playoffs that we might have anticipated a month or two ago.

479
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: But there's also you know, instances like today's game, which

480
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: could have gone very differently if if a referee didn't

481
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: call holding on Landon Dickerson, who pancaked the guy he

482
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: was blocking. That got you mad, Jookie, because you love

483
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 1: that and in the trenches, and I heard that Moose

484
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: Johnson was pissed about it. Uh back, I want to

485
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: hear you get mad now. Well, Moose said I'd give

486
00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: him a plus plus rating. That's not a hold, and

487
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: I agree. When you drive someone to the ground, he

488
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: trips over another guy's leg and he eats all that

489
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: Lincoln Financial Field turf, he should know that he got pancake,

490
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:09,959
Speaker 1: lay on top of him, lay there for an extra second.

491
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: What's that touchdown? What's that runner getting the end zone

492
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: for a touchdowns? Celebrate by doing layout on top of

493
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: the guy You just pancake. Put your arms and legs

494
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,400
Speaker 1: out like you're swimming, except you're just surfing on top

495
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: of him because you just earned that placement. That a flag.

496
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 1: We should able to change those calls. I mean, it's

497
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: just like, I don't know we went we went down

498
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: that road pass interference was a reviewable play and that

499
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: was a dumpster fire. Let's not open for reviewing anything. This.

500
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: They're giving me major Andy Reid vibes though, like this

501
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: was Eagles fans know Andy Reid, Like those Eagles teams

502
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,360
Speaker 1: when they were at their best, would always race out

503
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,399
Speaker 1: like everything would be handled a little too early, and

504
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 1: then the end of December would go poorly and it

505
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 1: just it would feel like it would carry over. Based

506
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: on my very scientific sample of Eagles fans at John

507
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: Gonzas and Colleen Wolves New Year's Eve party, they were

508
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: already panicking before this game. They're such negative people that

509
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: they thought it was already all falling apart. So I

510
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: don't think it was. It was. It was not a

511
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: good scene at that apartment. Hold on, like, like, let's

512
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: let's hold back on the panic button, Like you don't

513
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,959
Speaker 1: have your star quarterback in there, a candidate. I'm not,

514
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm not panicking. But we're also laying out that it's

515
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 1: not just uh all, it's here's the good news. And

516
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: this is why Connie and Gonzo and everybody's got to

517
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: take a step back and breathe. You get the Giants

518
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: next week. The Giants who are locked into the six seed,

519
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: they have nothing to play for. Uh. They would be

520
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: foolish to go all out knowing that they have a

521
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: wild card matchup of the week after. So there's a

522
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,800
Speaker 1: very good chance Eagles get a layup against a Giants

523
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: practice squad team. So the sky is not falling, but yes,

524
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: some some clouds overhead for the first time the season.

525
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: Let's all right, you can experience some clouds. But I'll

526
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: panic when they're getting the doors blown off with Jalen

527
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,400
Speaker 1: Hurt in the lineup, and so will they be because

528
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: that would be the end. I had a scientific fact

529
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: since Gregson that was very scientific research that he provided.

530
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: The P in Philadelphia actually stands for panic and pessimism,

531
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,400
Speaker 1: So it's it's right on board there. So the very

532
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: Saint see end to this season in terms of their

533
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 1: playoff hopes here that they finished the season playing their

534
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: best football. Without a doubt. To me, their last three

535
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: weeks have been the best three weeks stretch they've had

536
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,400
Speaker 1: that you get Lattimore back, and you've had a few

537
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: different defensive players coming in and out of the lineup,

538
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: but mostly they've been a little healthier lately and they've

539
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 1: looked better. And I know there are a lot of

540
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: Saints fans out there that think this is the worst

541
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: case scenario, which is that Dennis Allen, who I believe

542
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: is now seventeen and forty six as a head coach.

543
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: We'll keep his job, but they're not going anywhere anyways.

544
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: If I would run it all back, It's been a great,

545
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 1: a great campaign for the Saints and their fan base,

546
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 1: and no one would see the roster as the top

547
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: three receivers. It's a fun little shout out. Cam Jordan's

548
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: who once upon a time after he was drafted, came

549
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: into old NFL Network studios and I sat in the

550
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 1: green room and interviewed him, talked to him about his dad,

551
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,120
Speaker 1: Steve Jordan's, who did a Mr Perfect Hurt Henning vignette

552
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: for WWF in two that I recalled, and he told

553
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: me about being on the set and he was just

554
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: a kid at the time. Fast fast forward. He is

555
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: now the all time sack leader of New Orleans Saints

556
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: m and that's a team with some Hall of famers

557
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: that are passed great career. I think it's it's possible.

558
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: Your Q and A you know sparked him Mr Perfect.

559
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: After all, at one point they had four sacks in

560
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: eight place the Saints. Do you know who Mr Perfect is? Greg? Yeah?

561
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: I did watch w W was come up with. It

562
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: was good. Also, he his finishing maneuver was the perfect

563
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 1: That was my favorite move, which I did all the

564
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: time to my little brother Kevin with just startling accuracy. Yeah,

565
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: back then you'd like supplex your younger brother here and there,

566
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 1: and like there's no parental supervision over this. It's like

567
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 1: this is not a safe thing for brothers to be doing.

568
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: But it's gonna happen. Um, alright, let's head to the

569
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: nation's capital, well landover all, right, hipop Watch, he's got

570
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: his snap, third down in five, he's looking like throwing

571
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: Cooper's there, Hey got it, Cooper off the sideline, still going,

572
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: Cooper running down the sideline, ted side Edson touchdown, Ary Cooper.

573
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: I'm Marie Cooper. Where you been? Bud wide receiver for

574
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 1: the Browns had a big day, and so did Deshaun Watson,

575
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: who had his first real statistical standout performance of the

576
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: Browns ten win over the Commanders, who, as we said,

577
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:56,959
Speaker 1: we're eliminated with the loss tough one bad beat Chookie.

578
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: The Commanders had Carson Wentz in the lineup and did

579
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:04,720
Speaker 1: not go well. No. Uh. It makes Ron Riveria's decision

580
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: to go to Carson Wentz this week after benching kaylor

581
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: honekey last week. It makes it look foolish if shortsighted, um,

582
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: maybe even desperate. I mean, this is the Carson Wentz

583
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: we've seen at the end of seasons for the last

584
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: three years. I was not surprised at all by the

585
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: fact that he threw the interceptions that he threw, or

586
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: the fact that he struggled mightily, and to the point

587
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: where Brown's defenders after the game, we're talking about, Hey,

588
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: we saw on film that he's got a slow delivery,

589
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: slow release. We can see it, we can react to it,

590
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 1: and we can pick him off. They got him three times.

591
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: I mean, it was it was an ugly game. It

592
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: had one great drive this entire game. It was Greg

593
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 1: you you sent me the fact that I think it

594
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,840
Speaker 1: was the longest drive in their history or maybe in

595
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: football in like twenty some years plays eleven and a

596
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: half minutes. Delicious. Yeah, And that was it for them.

597
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: That was all they did the rest of the game.

598
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: It was pretty bad because Carson Wentz is not a

599
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: good quarterback and Washington is going to be in the

600
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: market for a quarterback again this offseason. I'm just curious

601
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: to see where he goes next, Carson Wentz, because at

602
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: this point there's no proof that that he's really any good,

603
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,760
Speaker 1: but held down, go ahead, not just he will invariably

604
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: be oversold to us as some some other teams filling

605
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: the blank starter and I'm not doing it again. I

606
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 1: feel like I came into this week very down on

607
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: the idea of switching over to Wents no matter what

608
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: you had in Heineke. The fans agreed they were going

609
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: nuts channing Heineke's name during this game. Yeah, rag I

610
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: think you were talking about Reggie Ragland on the Browns

611
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: his comments. He said that he knows some guys on

612
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 1: Washington's team and that they would have preferred Heineke. That's

613
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: exactly what we talked about this week, Like what about

614
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: the other players. I mean, the thing is like Heineke

615
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 1: can't really play either. I think they need a quarterback

616
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: and they don't have it in the building. That That's

617
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 1: why I said, though Riverboat Ron was making a pretty

618
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: bold move here, because this is what you're gonna remember

619
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: out of this season. They haven't won since November and

620
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 1: this was the most important game of the season. And

621
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 1: he throws two interceptions in the first quarter, I believe,

622
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: and the booze are coming and then he it's weeks

623
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: after the game in a in a sound bite, I

624
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:05,880
Speaker 1: feel like everyone's gonna remember for a long time, or

625
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: until Black Monday. To clarify, you said you would talk

626
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: about quarterback next week. If you guys are eliminated today

627
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: by what happens at four o'clock, is sam, how in

628
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: consideration we can be eliminated. Yeah, if the Packers beat

629
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: the Vikings, then you guys are eliminated. Well we'll see. Yeah,

630
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, I know that's it's a I guess, a

631
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: bad look on the coach. I don't know. It doesn't

632
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 1: really change much to it doesn't mean it change anything

633
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: about today's his coaching, or the way the team performed,

634
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: or how they would be ready for next week. But

635
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: I also understand you. You want your coach to be

636
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: forward facing. This guy that knows. I also thinking Greg,

637
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: Greg and I were talking about this, like these coaches

638
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 1: are in their bunkers and they just want to come

639
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 1: and win this game and let the rest it sort

640
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: itself out. I get that. But in three here we

641
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: are like head coaches can't get caught thank you into

642
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: you as well until each of you into everyone behind

643
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 1: the glass. But head coaches can't get caught flat footed

644
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: on this stuff. I mean they I was listening to

645
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: the Niners game and they were talking about the fact

646
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: that Shanahan behind the scenes had been pounding the table

647
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: to his players, saying, if we can't get the number

648
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 1: one seed, the number two still matters so much like

649
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 1: it sounds just sounds like per coach A plugged in

650
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: and coach B dinosaur like and like maybe that's not

651
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: the case. It's just bad pr and like that soundclip

652
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: is gonna get played all day tomorrow, all day the

653
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: next day, and it's the It's the final thing we'll

654
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: remember about this Washington team as they float into a

655
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: total abyss. They haven't had a winning season in seven seasons,

656
00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: just potentially new ownership coming. It's a tricky it's a

657
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: tricky spot, especially when you're trying to throw out excuses

658
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: that it's like we were just so focused on the wind.

659
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: Like these are the coaches that sort of brag about

660
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: working fifteen hours a day and it's like, oh, we

661
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 1: didn't have time. It takes three seconds, are you. All

662
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: you have to do is look at this scenario. It

663
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,920
Speaker 1: takes three seconds. Famously in the old days, like it

664
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: takes a lot of time. It takes five seconds, helped

665
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,479
Speaker 1: the guy out to the old days. In the glory

666
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: days of the Washington football team, the Hogs um helped

667
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: pave the way for three Super Bowl titles. They were

668
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: honored before this game. Joe gibbs Um and others from

669
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: the franchises Heyday were there, and then the team unveiled

670
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 1: their new mascot. It's a hog named Major Tutty, and

671
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: the team said that Major Tutty is a muscular This

672
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: is a quote six ft five thirty pound mail hog

673
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: with exaggerated features that are anatomically similar to the animal,

674
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: including a large belly, snout, and cloven hooves. Hooves, Um

675
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: shook my question to you, first of all, do you

676
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: like Major Tutty? One and two? Just like everything else

677
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: is funky and weird with the commanders, like they're probably

678
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: selling the team and a new ownership is changing hands

679
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: is most likely, Like why are they introducing a new mascot?

680
00:34:55,719 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: What are we doing around here that teams a merchandise

681
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,920
Speaker 1: to generate excitement? Sweet seven seen like what was this

682
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 1: a homework assignment that they were laid on? It was

683
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: probably someone's bonus attached to it. I don't know how

684
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: much merchandise you're gonna sell of this. Um, we're looking

685
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,720
Speaker 1: at it here on the screen of this Major Tutty

686
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 1: and it's a very strange looking pig. Um half human,

687
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: half pig. It feels slightly off kilter to me in Washington,

688
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: d C. And the Pentagon. Can we come up with

689
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: nicknames for Major Tuddy? How about I got to Private Pork, reggaear,

690
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: General Bacon. This is why we have nick joke on

691
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: Private Pork is maybe seeing a movie at that title,

692
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: Um shook Before we say goodbye, I'll check it onto.

693
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:51,160
Speaker 1: Shaun Watson obviously played a lot better in this game. Yeah, um,

694
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: you know, three touchdowns his first time that he really

695
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: got going with the Browns, got into a rhythm, especially

696
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: in the second half. I mean, this is a Browns

697
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: team that got two takeaways in the first half and

698
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,800
Speaker 1: put three point on the board. Their offense was completely lost.

699
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 1: That Washington pass rush was doing a great job of

700
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: I mean I texted my dad who was upset. I said,

701
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 1: they just broke his brain in the first half and

702
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: he was completely out of sorts. They come out a

703
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 1: halftime three straight drives that ended touchdowns, that touchdown past

704
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: to Mary Cooper, I think is really what unlocked their offense.

705
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: He looked a lot more comfortable. From their stats wise,

706
00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 1: nine of eighteen is not super impressive. A D nine

707
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: yards not super impressive. But the fact that he was

708
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: able to throw three touchdowns to two guys, including one

709
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: where he was pressured through it over the middle to

710
00:36:26,719 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: Donovan people's jones. It's an encouraging site for Brown's fiends

711
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: who have nothing else to watch this team for other

712
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: than to see is this guy gonna take another step forward?

713
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: As we headed the offseason prepared for there you go,

714
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 1: Shook delivers the news. We get one more week with

715
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 1: Nick who's killed it all year long. Thank you, buddy,

716
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: Thanks guys. All right, there goes Shook. Let's spend right

717
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: into the battle for the moribund NFC South. It was

718
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: coming down to the Panthers and Bucks in the game. Actually,

719
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 1: it sounds like it lived up to the hype. Takes

720
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,239
Speaker 1: the snaff and looks towards his way those toward the

721
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: end zone. A hundred Mexico touch ups. Have a very

722
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 1: favorite house three fire account its fire him, remarkable, fire him.

723
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: Mike Evans ran up at five yards, he stuttered his

724
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 1: feet and Tom Brady again, we've seen him not being

725
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,760
Speaker 1: sick on these deep throws over the course of the season,

726
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 1: but he hit three of them today perfect. That was

727
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: Dave Moore and of course Jeane Dagger half w f

728
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: us Jane, who's retiring after a fifty year broadcasting career

729
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: that has also covered Florida State football. What a legend.

730
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: Tom Brady threw for four thirty two and three long

731
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: Happy New Year, Jean. I'm sure you apply if you

732
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: couldn't Brady through for four thirty two and three long

733
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 1: touchdowns to Mike Evans just days after Greg Rosenthal through

734
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,920
Speaker 1: dirt on the greatest quarterback of all time, and the

735
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: Bucks clinched their second straight South championship with a thirty

736
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 1: twe for come from behind win over the Panthers, who

737
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: jumped out to a big lead Mark Sessler. But in

738
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: the end, Brady finally finding that chemistry again with Mike

739
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: Evans was the difference. It only took literally all of

740
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: two um in a day into the New Year, and

741
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 1: I think they're clicking, and I think that's that's a

742
00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: great sign. Um. We've talked about this bizarre division. I've

743
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: said it before. I just see it within that they're

744
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: gonna win a playoff game. And this version of this

745
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: offense would scare you because it's what you thought you'd

746
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 1: get all year, because you got it last year, and

747
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,479
Speaker 1: you got it the year before. And they came out

748
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: and you could tell right away that they were so

749
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,839
Speaker 1: deliberately going to do everything they could to make this

750
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: finally work when it needed to matter most. And it

751
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: was still a frustrating game, but as sixty three yard

752
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: deep bombed Evans a fifty seven yard or a thirty

753
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: yard or they just finally were completely in sync. And Brady,

754
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: who you know, there's i'd think anyone all year long

755
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 1: has said other than last couple of weeks that Brady

756
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 1: has been the problem. I think the turnovers and some

757
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 1: impatience and sort of hesitation in the pocket last three

758
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 1: or four games stood out. But he looked calm and

759
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: collected today four d and thirty two yards three touchdowns.

760
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: He's only a few years younger than I am. I

761
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: don't know how he's doing this. Um here's the thing though,

762
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: the Bucks defense played a big role in this. Sam Donald,

763
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: who I think played the best, he alright, look at

764
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: he had a fumble he had an interception and he

765
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: had a strip sec so that stands out. That was

766
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: a big difference in this But the other what well,

767
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 1: what Sam Donald did for the rest of this game

768
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: was the best performance I've seen him play all year,

769
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: and after that huge rushing performance last year, they did

770
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: not come out and do that. I think Ben McAdoo

771
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: deserves some credit for how this thing got started. That

772
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: they aggressively had Sam Donald ripping the ball down field

773
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: to Dj Moore to like it. Just it looked like

774
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:56,120
Speaker 1: their passing game under Donald was a real problem for

775
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,240
Speaker 1: the Bucks. Then they tightened up, got the turnovers, handled

776
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: their business. Mike Evans went off here, go to Bucks

777
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 1: or go to the Panthers in the other direction. Yeah,

778
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 1: it's surprising that this division is not coming down it.

779
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: Last week it just felt like it was gonna be

780
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: a messy situation where the Saints were still alive and

781
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: the Panthers were still alive in the Bucks and they

782
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,040
Speaker 1: were down to ten in the in the fourth quarter.

783
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:20,480
Speaker 1: It's crazy. Brady has more touchdowns in the fourth quarter

784
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: this season then the rest than the other three quarters combined.

785
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he has been like lights out at the

786
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: end of these games. Evans going ten for two oh

787
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:33,560
Speaker 1: seven and three rewarded his loyal fantasy owners that kept

788
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: him in the lineup, like my son Walker, So they

789
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 1: enjoyed that. But you mentioned it like sometimes it comes

790
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,279
Speaker 1: down to this whole offseason planning. Anthony Nelson, who's what

791
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: their fourth string pass rusher, gets a strip sack on

792
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: the top ten pick Icky a conu at the end,

793
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: Donald really didn't have a chance on that play. You

794
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: don't play him Donald, and that was the end of

795
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: the game. I kind of thought the Panthers might go

796
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,240
Speaker 1: down the field there, but it didn't. That. Yeah, that plays,

797
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 1: so doesn't happen with that Vida Vea like showing now

798
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: he's a massive, he's big as a front door. The

799
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: speed he chased down that ball and picked it up,

800
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: I mean that was the difference. J C. Horne's injury

801
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: might have flipped this division. I know that sounds like

802
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: a cry, like a lament, but he would have been

803
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: the guy on Mike Evans. He's built for that that

804
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 1: he's the big physics. They put different guys on Evans

805
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: and nothing works. So correct and Evans for all the

806
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:28,319
Speaker 1: handwringing about this season for him and his failure to

807
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: get on the same page with Tom Brady. He did

808
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: go over a thousand yards again, He's done that nine

809
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: consecutive years. He's called on the Hall of Fame, or

810
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 1: at least he should. One of the most consistent guys

811
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:40,720
Speaker 1: of his era, if not the most consistent pass catcher

812
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: of his era. Sixty three fifty seven and thirty yard

813
00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:47,160
Speaker 1: touchdown receptions. It was almost like, if you think about it,

814
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: unless you think tom Brady's washed, um, which he's not.

815
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: Maybe he's in a little bit of a decline at

816
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: this point, right, He's no Stidham, But it's it's a

817
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,160
Speaker 1: situation where eventually this was gonna there was gonna be

818
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,240
Speaker 1: a game like this and for the Bucks, good timing

819
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: nineteen division titles for Tom Brady. That's insane. Um, your

820
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 1: tore Grossmadows on the Panthers had an incredible game. Had

821
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: they one, we'd be talking about him a lot more.

822
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:14,800
Speaker 1: And they mentioned we know Josh Norman, who we worked

823
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: on that Super Bowl with on Sky Sports slightly he

824
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 1: was actually working as a barista in a coffee shop.

825
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 1: Um last week when he got the call that did

826
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 1: he not save his money? Well, no, I think they

827
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,560
Speaker 1: were so well, that was my thing, was like people,

828
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: but they tried to make it sound like starting a business.

829
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: That's a little different. They didn't They didn't tell the

830
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:37,919
Speaker 1: entire story on the thing, and I was like, wait

831
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:39,479
Speaker 1: a minute, like it can't be a money thing because

832
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: he's got to have a ton of money. I just

833
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: he was telling the truth. I think he was serving.

834
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 1: But he he started sky sports, he started some business.

835
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: He was working as a barista. That it wasn't just

836
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 1: like back in the you know, it wasn't just like

837
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,840
Speaker 1: sending you know, emails out saying you go do it.

838
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: He was doing it. So good for him. The people

839
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 1: would you go work in a coffee shop right now

840
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: just for the to be around? Well, I guess that's true. Sure,

841
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,680
Speaker 1: maybe you owned it if I he signed, technically his

842
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: mom owns it. But I think they they're sort of

843
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: doing it. I keep shifting here, So I mean, well,

844
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: I think she was helped out by her succeeded my interest.

845
00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 1: Now we know we're get learning more and more. Move

846
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: who co signed the lease? Oh? His mother? Well, Gregg

847
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,280
Speaker 1: seems very unwilling to give him any credit for anything.

848
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: I just think it's like where you're coming from Greg

849
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: on that one. Move on, and by the way, it

850
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:33,800
Speaker 1: does look like again peeking ahead. Um as Marcus said many, many,

851
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 1: many times that he believes the Bucks will win a

852
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: playoff game, most likely the host of Dallas Cowboys. That's

853
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: not good for Dallas, uh as a first round matchup.

854
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: I'll take it if I'm the Cowboy. I'm just saying

855
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: one of these predictions gets to go right. So I'm

856
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna go with it on this one, this

857
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 1: one well, because it's a good one, because like there's

858
00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: no way for it to be wrong for twelve or

859
00:43:57,760 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: thirteen weeks from when I made it way back when

860
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: it just sits out there until the whole career as

861
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: a broadcaster hangs in the balance of that wild Card

862
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: Saturday Night or whatever it's gonna be. Probably it feels

863
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 1: like a wild card Saturday Night game. Putting that much

864
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: on it. I've got a lot of bills. He's a

865
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: top ten football insider. Let's take a break, all right,

866
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back, all right, Let's now swing over to the

867
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 1: a f C playoff picture starting at Jillette Stadium, where

868
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: the Dolphins and Patriots did battle Dogger up behind the

869
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: front four. It's that they rough four bridge water is

870
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: back to fire it right, pass it decepted by Dougers

871
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 1: left to the thirty hot side of the then tug

872
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: in to the five dog. They tucked into the house again.

873
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 1: Uh Bob Socci and the sentient power a bottle to

874
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:54,960
Speaker 1: call there for w b Z did you I tweeted

875
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:56,640
Speaker 1: about today and we're gonna get to the Jets. I

876
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 1: feel like with a decent quarterback, the Jets would have

877
00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 1: won ten or eleven games this year. If the Patriots

878
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 1: didn't have seven defensive scores this year, they might have

879
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:09,440
Speaker 1: eleven or twelve loss like it feels like, how about

880
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: this though, if they had Josh McDaniels, they'd probably be

881
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: eleven in five just those coordinators. All right, Well, that's

882
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,279
Speaker 1: that's potentially true as well. But my point being that

883
00:45:18,600 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 1: almost all of these defensive scores and the latest there

884
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: by Kyle Dougger, have been huge in the context of

885
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 1: the games in which they occurred. Because Duggers pick six

886
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: of Teddy Bridgewater went back thirty nine yards for the

887
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: go ahead touchdown late in the third quarter, then it

888
00:45:31,880 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: allowed the Patriots to keep their postseason hopes intact. They

889
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:43,360
Speaker 1: rally past the free falling Dolphins three to one. UM. Yeah,

890
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: it was huge. It was It was a game that

891
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins seemed to have uh not in hand, but

892
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 1: they seemed to be in control of the game, even

893
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: though Teddy Who wasn't playing poorly, but you you felt

894
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 1: that lack of explosiveness with him in instead of tah Who.

895
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: By the way, there's a report that they're hoping he

896
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: could be back if they make the playoffs, so that

897
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 1: tells you that the team again is trying to take

898
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 1: this um carefully after another concussion uh for Tua. But

899
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: the game all turned on that pass because not only

900
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 1: was it a pick six um run back the other way.

901
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: On the follow through of the throw, Teddy wax his

902
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: hand on a Patriot defender's hand and uh breaks we're

903
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: hearing might be a broken finger and knocked him out

904
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 1: of the game. Skyler Thompson comes, and Skyler Thompson might

905
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: eventually be a player in our league. Right now he

906
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: is not every time I've seen him. He can't throw

907
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 1: the ball, he can't shoot straight. And that allowed the

908
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 1: Patriots to take care of business. So good job by

909
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: the Pats in a season that's been greg very rocky

910
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,680
Speaker 1: obviously in a lot of ways. I think a lot

911
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 1: of people expected them to fade uh in this game

912
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:52,800
Speaker 1: and disappear, but instead they're gonna go into week a

913
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: team with a chance to make the playoffs. It's like

914
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: Belichick can't help but win eight games no matter what

915
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 1: terrible decision teammates with his coaching staff and personnel offensively,

916
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: and it's because he's still a great defensive coach. That's

917
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 1: what I mean. They would win eleven games if they

918
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: had decent offensive coaching because a lot of the things

919
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 1: that they would have hoped to happen on defense have happened.

920
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: Duggers turned into a total star, a playmaker. Barmore was

921
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 1: back in this game and was very active. We've talked

922
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 1: about j and Jude on they were down three top

923
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: cornerbacks today they put Jack Jones and I are Marcus.

924
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 1: Jones was out, Jalen Mills was out. They had a

925
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: couple of offensive players that the Dolphins were missing four

926
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: or five of their best players, just like some of

927
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 1: these teams have lost so many pieces. But the Patriots

928
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 1: find a way because of these defensive scores, essentially to

929
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: be in every single one of these games. Yeah, I

930
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,879
Speaker 1: mean the a FC East from where we were six

931
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,120
Speaker 1: weeks ago to now is the story of multiple collapses.

932
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,359
Speaker 1: And you're right about the Dolphins going into this game.

933
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: It's not easy to be Mike McDaniel in the situation.

934
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,520
Speaker 1: You did not at Bradley Chubb. You don't have too obviously,

935
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: Xavien Howard was out, Tehran Armstead was out, Eric Fisher

936
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 1: and other tackle is out, so you're limited there. And

937
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 1: I you know this, the same thing happened to McDaniel

938
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 1: the first time when two went out with concussion. That

939
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: incomes Bridgewater and he was lost to the same game,

940
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:09,359
Speaker 1: and in came Skyler Thompson. It's an ugly pattern. Both

941
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: times Teddy played without Tron Armstead too, I think, which

942
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: is and that's been for two or two a major problem.

943
00:48:14,920 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: I mean, to your point about the New New England's

944
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 1: shortcomings on offense, they're eight and oh in games where

945
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: they allow fewer than twenty points and oh and eight

946
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,920
Speaker 1: in games where they allows right and if if they

947
00:48:27,920 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: won this one allows going into this right. So you

948
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 1: just say, but that's still but that might not even hold.

949
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna have to recalibrate all the data now basically

950
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 1: it's never their offense that scored defensive scored after touch

951
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,920
Speaker 1: that should be. It was a garbage time score. The

952
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 1: doubtins that make it look like a closer game, that

953
00:48:47,080 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: Patriots had the game in hand in the fourth quarter

954
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: really starting with that dugger play um and yes, if

955
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna watch this game, if you haven't watched it yet, like, oh,

956
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,680
Speaker 1: the Patriots starting to get a little frisky. No, it's

957
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: still the same exact tam here. The offense is still pitiful.

958
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: They had one big time drive. It was an eleven play,

959
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 1: eighty nine yard big boy drive that allowed them to

960
00:49:09,640 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: take control of the game after the pick six and

961
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: kind of put the game away. So you credit Mac

962
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: Jones and the offense for doing that. But otherwise it

963
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: was another very quiet game for the offense. So that's

964
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: going to continue to be a bugaboo. They're winning games

965
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 1: because they're getting literally not just turnovers, defensive scores that

966
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 1: are allowing them to steal these games. The seventh defensive score,

967
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 1: uh this season, that just doesn't happen. I think it's

968
00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: tied a record. Uh if they think at two thousand

969
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: seventeen Jaguars um either at seven or eight defensive scores.

970
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 1: It's just it's bonkers how often it's happening. It's almost

971
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not Vikings level aberration, but it's it's

972
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: an incredibly strange environment to be winning these games. They

973
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: are now winning in next week, but they're playing the Bills,

974
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 1: who have become their daddy. And there is a realistic

975
00:49:56,400 --> 00:50:01,200
Speaker 1: scenario that the Patriots could end the season getting blasted

976
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:05,000
Speaker 1: by the Bills in back to back weeks, that they

977
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: could get blasted by the Bills back into the playoffs

978
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: eight and nine. Granted, a lot has to happen there.

979
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: The Jets would have to lose, the Steelers would have

980
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 1: to uh lose a game, but it's possible, and I

981
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 1: don't know if this Patriots team needs to be in

982
00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: the playoffs. We'll see the Dolphins, I know, but one

983
00:50:21,440 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: one of these teams, UH is going to make it,

984
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:27,319
Speaker 1: whether it's the Dolphins, the Patriots, and we'll find out

985
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 1: about the Steelers later. The Dolphins, now, you know, just

986
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: hope that the Patriots lose to Buffalo and beat the

987
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: Jets and they're in. So they have a very realistic

988
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: chance to make it. Instill, But who the hell n

989
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 1: we're supposed to cheerlead like everything, just give the scenarios.

990
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,359
Speaker 1: This this seventh playoff team in each conference, Like more

991
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: often than not, you're getting something that is undesirable to

992
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: the eye that we don't we just like we just

993
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: we don't want to see the Dolphins without two. We

994
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 1: don't want to see the Patriots. We don't want to

995
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: see the steel getting the Packers or the Lions. So

996
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: but but so to speaks to it like you just

997
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,920
Speaker 1: don't know, like you're also getting I'm just saying it's

998
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: typically unpleasant. Fair there was what was it it was

999
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 1: Washington or no, they won the division, I can't remember.

1000
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: But it feels like whatever, this this new reality with

1001
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 1: the extra playoff team, you're usually going to get a

1002
00:51:15,960 --> 00:51:18,640
Speaker 1: real dog, and it feels like that's what this final

1003
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 1: a f C team will be. But again we don't

1004
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,880
Speaker 1: write last year you got the Steelers, who are not

1005
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 1: a good team, Steelers Chiefs game, when actually the Eagles

1006
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 1: who were were intriguing on some level but not really

1007
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: against the bus. So you're absolutely right, this seventh seed

1008
00:51:35,840 --> 00:51:39,359
Speaker 1: is underwhelmed. It's making it's like doing parties. You have

1009
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 1: you have an invite list to your own party, and

1010
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,120
Speaker 1: someone brings someone who drags the entire affair into darkness.

1011
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 1: It's diluting wild card weekend a little bit, but it's

1012
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,640
Speaker 1: also adding intrigue to the back end of the regular season.

1013
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: So maybe it's a watch here. By the way, before

1014
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 1: we move on, here is uh the Dolphins season win win, win, lost,

1015
00:51:57,920 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 1: lost loss win win win win and win loss loss

1016
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 1: loss loss loss. I worry about some consistency in that.

1017
00:52:05,880 --> 00:52:11,759
Speaker 1: Almost it's it's symmetrical. It's also embarrassing the way this is. Uh.

1018
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: They have nose dived here, and they're not the only

1019
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: team in their division to do. So let's move on.

1020
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: He's gonna throw in the back corner touchdown Hawks, What

1021
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 1: a start. Kobe Parkinson from twelve yards out, runs a

1022
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: little bender into the back corner and Gina weighs it

1023
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: up perfectly, so only the big tight end at six

1024
00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: seven can reach up and grab it. Steve Able with

1025
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: the K I are City, New York City? Thank you?

1026
00:52:55,920 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 1: Um yes, Gino Smith connects there with Colby Parkinson. Colby

1027
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 1: Parkinson on the twelve yard catch that was within about

1028
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: two minutes into the game. After Ken Walker ripped off

1029
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:16,880
Speaker 1: a huge run on the um for maybe the second

1030
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: play from scrimmage in the game, and it was kind

1031
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 1: of just like a rap. It was the first play

1032
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:27,000
Speaker 1: from scrimmage Walker's run at that point, because before you

1033
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 1: knew it, it was seven nothing, then ten nothing and

1034
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:35,440
Speaker 1: uh at that point, Uh, the Jets offense went to

1035
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 1: sleep and Seattle's defense credit them for stepping up and

1036
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:43,160
Speaker 1: keeping their season alive with a twenty three to six victory.

1037
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,879
Speaker 1: So Seattle moves to eight and eight and Greg will

1038
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:47,600
Speaker 1: tell you in a minute how they get to the playoffs.

1039
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 1: The Jets are now seven and nine, eliminated five game

1040
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 1: losing streak. I locked this game up. I knew it

1041
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:54,719
Speaker 1: was a bad idea, but what the hell do? You

1042
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: went with your heart with my heart and U. It

1043
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: did surprise me though, and I'll tell you what ais me.

1044
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,799
Speaker 1: And if you boys haven't watched the game, UH, you

1045
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: will be surprised too. Because everything we saw from Mike

1046
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: White this season, UH told us that he was going

1047
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 1: to give the Jets a professional effort. He would hit

1048
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: the guys that were open. He would do hit the layup,

1049
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 1: said Zack Wilson couldn't. But instead they got a Zack

1050
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:18,720
Speaker 1: Wilson game from Mike White, which we've also seen before

1051
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: dating back to last year. And I was always in

1052
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:23,080
Speaker 1: the back of my mind, uh that that guy was

1053
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:25,680
Speaker 1: there too, and he showed up today. It was a

1054
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 1: dreadful performance from Mike White, who I feel bad for

1055
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,319
Speaker 1: him because he cost himself a lot of money today. Uh,

1056
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: he cost himself any chance of being in the Jets

1057
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 1: conversation as their quarterback next year. All that is kind

1058
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:40,840
Speaker 1: of wipe by the board, and that's part of sports.

1059
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,800
Speaker 1: Sometimes you have a big chance to change your life

1060
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: in the trajectory of your career, and White just couldn't

1061
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,760
Speaker 1: get it done, and neither could the Jets, who started

1062
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 1: slowly also defensively in this game. Uh. Their defense went

1063
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 1: into a little bit of a slump here late in

1064
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,960
Speaker 1: the season. Uh, in addition to the quarterback player that

1065
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: just butchered their year. And that's how it ends for

1066
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 1: the Jets. I mean the job by the Seattle they

1067
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 1: will getting the job done. When you're defense, which has

1068
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 1: been you know, you're selling point and playoff level for

1069
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 1: all season is giving up that sixty yard run. It

1070
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 1: was the DJ Dallas forty one yard catch and run.

1071
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,799
Speaker 1: It was like these big plays and again they're not

1072
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:21,320
Speaker 1: generating takeaways. That's been a problem for this Jets defense

1073
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: to some degree. And you get this version of Mike White.

1074
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: I mean, glass half full. Let's say Mike White won

1075
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: these last two games and played above his head and

1076
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: they do turn him into the starter, and then the

1077
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: real Mike White appears, because last year, the overall body

1078
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: of work for Mike White is up and down. It's

1079
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:42,759
Speaker 1: just that he's had some real highs. Here's the thing, though, Mark,

1080
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 1: if he did play well and they won these games,

1081
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 1: the Jets would have went to the playoffs this year,

1082
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: and that would have been a huge lift for the

1083
00:55:49,840 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: organization and the fan base. And then yes, they might

1084
00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 1: have blown there Mike White evaluation down the line. But god,

1085
00:55:57,239 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: I would have loved to even be in that position.

1086
00:55:59,160 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 1: It's been. That's why I'm calling a class half a

1087
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,160
Speaker 1: half empty. But because you do now know there's no

1088
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,439
Speaker 1: doubt that he could be the backup. But he lost

1089
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: himself some money exactly do you know? I have a

1090
00:56:09,800 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: chance to make some money here down the stretch. Not

1091
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: that I think it's like all based on these last

1092
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:17,040
Speaker 1: couple of games, but I think playing well at the end.

1093
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,600
Speaker 1: Here is going to help him. Mike White is gonna

1094
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 1: hurt himself. He could be back there as a backup.

1095
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,719
Speaker 1: But yeah, I saw something which surprised me with the

1096
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:29,720
Speaker 1: Jets will have the longest playoff less streak in American sports.

1097
00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 1: If the Kings make it this year, and they look

1098
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 1: like a pretty good bet to make it, uh in

1099
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 1: the NBA, it would be disappointed just for the defense

1100
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: at the end of the season. You give up almost

1101
00:56:39,560 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: two hundred yards in the first quarter of this game,

1102
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 1: and then they they settled in. But it is hard

1103
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 1: to depend on defense totally and it's hard to have

1104
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: like a truly special defense week after week, just the

1105
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: way the rules are set up. And I think down

1106
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 1: the stretch they weren't enough. They weren't playing complimentary. There's

1107
00:56:56,280 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 1: something I keep hearing about the Jets, and it to

1108
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 1: me is a bit of a be careful um. Not

1109
00:57:01,360 --> 00:57:02,960
Speaker 1: that you have every option in the world, but it's like,

1110
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: if they can just get a quarterback who's vaguely competent,

1111
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:09,200
Speaker 1: they'll be fine. It's like, no, you'll just be a team,

1112
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: all right, team with a vaguely competent quarterback, that's your ceiling.

1113
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 1: It's like the search must go on. I just think

1114
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,479
Speaker 1: you cannot settle and that's all to be dissolved later.

1115
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: But a B minus quarterback away from going to the

1116
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: a f C title game. But again, when you have

1117
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 1: not been to the playoffs in twelve years, now get

1118
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: count that you just want to get to the playoffs again.

1119
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: And like this year especially is frustrating because you know Um,

1120
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: the whiff on the Zach Wilson evaluation and the decision

1121
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 1: to take him with a second overall pick Um has

1122
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: it's a huge setback for the organization that will continue

1123
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: uh to mushroom until they figure out how to properly

1124
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 1: move on. And I think they will entirely from him,

1125
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: which is almost unprecedented to see the reporting now that

1126
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:58,160
Speaker 1: Joe Douglas, so that stuff all sounds like mythology until

1127
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:00,480
Speaker 1: they have no other option. They want to have some

1128
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:02,760
Speaker 1: leverage here, so they're gonna say that he might be

1129
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: in their plans next year. Obviously he's not their future anymore,

1130
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: and and we know that. But just the disappointment is

1131
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: you knew that this team, if they had a couple

1132
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: of things went their way, if they had got a

1133
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 1: little better health on their line and with Breee Hall

1134
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 1: and if the quarterback just played Okay, this is a

1135
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: playoff team this year. They should be the seventh seed,

1136
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 1: and yet they're on a five game losing streak and

1137
00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,560
Speaker 1: it's another big Jets collapse. This did not feel like

1138
00:58:27,560 --> 00:58:29,560
Speaker 1: the year this was gonna happen. That's why I locked

1139
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,120
Speaker 1: the Jets up today because I thought everything we knew

1140
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 1: about and this is on Soliditu and the coaching staff

1141
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: and the defense. I thought they were gonna kind of

1142
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: rally around White and play really well in the spot

1143
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: against a fading Seattle team. The fact that they uh

1144
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 1: flatlined is very disappointing and a bad look for everyone

1145
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: involved and Greg. I I still think Solid is very

1146
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 1: safe job wise, even if next week goes poorly. But

1147
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: I think a head could roll, and maybe it's Michael Floor,

1148
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator. I don't know if I would agree

1149
00:58:57,840 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: with it, but they have four touchdowns in four weeks now.

1150
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: I hope, I really hope nothing happens in the a

1151
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: f C East. But I've learned doing this job it's

1152
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 1: all about ownership sometimes, and I don't trust the leadership

1153
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 1: in Miami or the Jets to handle a six game

1154
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: losing streak the way that the season will end for

1155
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: whichever team loses that game. So I think that's a

1156
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 1: big game and it's sort of the reverse, not that

1157
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll would ever be in any trouble, but man,

1158
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 1: this is a monster win for the Seahawks to to

1159
00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:31,600
Speaker 1: to comfortably end there like losing streak, for their defense

1160
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:34,439
Speaker 1: to play really well for a second straight week, to

1161
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: to shut to be able to run the ball on

1162
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 1: offense a yards on the ground like this. They've been

1163
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 1: collapsing too in the exact same way the Jets did.

1164
00:59:45,320 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: Now they get the Rams next week. If they can

1165
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:53,640
Speaker 1: win that game, uh, give it to us. I mean, unfortunately,

1166
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 1: they need the Packers to lose to the Lions uh

1167
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: in Week eighteen, and otherwise they're eliminated. So they just

1168
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: need to win and they need the Packers to lose.

1169
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: It's pretty simple for them. They have the tiebreak over

1170
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 1: the Lions, so a Seahawks win over the Rams would

1171
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:15,120
Speaker 1: also eliminate the Lions next week. There you go. I

1172
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if it's happened so many

1173
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: years in our own including literally every year we've done

1174
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 1: this podcast, but it's almost getting to the point where

1175
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 1: it doesn't hurt as much because I'm just so used

1176
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 1: to them crapping the bed when it matters. I can

1177
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 1: relate to that, you know, when I was doing the

1178
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 1: Browns thing like that one little playoff win that they

1179
01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 1: had over the Steelers. I mean, it's been a train

1180
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: wreck since mattered a lot. It changed everything, and and

1181
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: it changed your complexion and your your what kind of

1182
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: hope you'd have going into the next season. If Greg

1183
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: this happens where Jets management decides to blame Robert Solo, frankly,

1184
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: even Mike Lafloor or any of these guys for what's

1185
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: happened at the quarterback position, that utter and total chaos

1186
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 1: they've dealt with, then I think you start building a

1187
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: binder of your own, Dan, because that would be massive mismanagement. No,

1188
01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,640
Speaker 1: and I I don't think will happen. But Douglas, Joe

1189
01:01:02,640 --> 01:01:05,920
Speaker 1: Douglas is somebody that's very interesting now with the Jets

1190
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 1: because he's now the equivalent of a baseball slugger who

1191
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 1: it's forty homers but strikes out two hundred times. The

1192
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson miss is reverberating and it ruined their season.

1193
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to put too much on one player,

1194
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 1: but it's quarterback and that's the way it is. I'm

1195
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 1: not having a backup. Well, that didn't help him either.

1196
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 1: I kind of did until Mike White turned into that.

1197
01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: White was a great story until Bryan Costell the New

1198
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: York Post had a great lead today. It was like

1199
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 1: he went from Mike F and White to F and

1200
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 1: Mike White. All right, let's uh, I do not care

1201
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: what the watching post says. I still don't where are

1202
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: we at? Where are we at? Where are we at? Oh?

1203
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 1: Let's head to the team of a t L Onward

1204
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 1: and Upward takes the snap, looks left, now it comes

1205
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:54,880
Speaker 1: back right. So that's up a screen got at the

1206
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: swift picks up a block at this one. Great for

1207
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 1: boarding on Watergate though. We just need to have that

1208
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: out there. You're right about that, you got this one.

1209
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: I mean, you can enjoy this at lace just team.

1210
01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 1: I like to just listen to it. Dick Banks, one

1211
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:39,520
Speaker 1: man house man. I wrote the song. See yeah, I'm

1212
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: not the performer, no, but I get the royalties. How

1213
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 1: much money I've paid off the song? You like that?

1214
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,919
Speaker 1: Jack anton Off of Around the NFL I just needs

1215
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 1: stupid hipster glasses. I've made seventeen million dollars on that

1216
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: song and royalties from this podcast. How long did how

1217
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 1: many drafts did that song go through? I mean, there's

1218
01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: the great ones. They come to you in five minutes.

1219
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: I woke up from a dream and I was just like,

1220
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 1: oh my god, it's poetry. The Lions are alive. What

1221
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 1: we're talking about the The Lions are alive. It's about me.

1222
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 1: The lines are alive because they just destroyed the Bears,

1223
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 1: which is not a huge achievement, but it's about me.

1224
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: Credit the Lions for doing something like, for instance, the

1225
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: Jets in it taking care of business with at one

1226
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 1: win at Ford Field the Lions, in case you forgot,

1227
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 1: we're left for data at one and six was it?

1228
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 1: And now they've won seven of nine there, eight and eight,

1229
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,120
Speaker 1: and yes they can get back to the playoffs for

1230
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: the first time since two thousand sixteen. Heading into week eighteen,

1231
01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 1: and Greggy, you're gonna tell us in a bit how

1232
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,760
Speaker 1: that exactly happens. But let's start by talking about this game.

1233
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 1: How did they destroy the more a bunch of Chicago Bears.

1234
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: They had a championship response and yes, it's championship response.

1235
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,360
Speaker 1: I love it. I mean it's against the Bears, yes,

1236
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 1: but it's also the biggest game they've had in many years.

1237
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:06,320
Speaker 1: The crowd was going but nanas before the game even started,

1238
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 1: and there immediately down seven nothing, and that first drive

1239
01:04:09,920 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: to me like the moment where I'm sweating the most

1240
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: because I locked up the Lions. I think was telling

1241
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 1: because two players in that drive, number one, third and ten,

1242
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: third player from offense, they blitz Goff. They do a

1243
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:25,080
Speaker 1: good job moving him off the spot and he moves

1244
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 1: in the pocket, which I think he's done better this year,

1245
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 1: making a couple of plays where he has to move

1246
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,919
Speaker 1: a little bit, calmly finds the open receiver after buying

1247
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: a little extra time on third and ten under pressure,

1248
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 1: keeps the drive going. Later in that drive fourth and four,

1249
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:40,919
Speaker 1: I mentioned on this show last week I thought Dan

1250
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,520
Speaker 1: Cambo blinked a little bit with his fourth down decisions

1251
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 1: in Carolina, didn't show that same hutzpah that he had

1252
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 1: been showing all season. First drive of this game, down

1253
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 1: seven nothing, goes for on fourth and four, they get

1254
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 1: a penalty, they get the touchdown, and off they went.

1255
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Five hundred and four yards of offense, the only a

1256
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 1: loud at nine first downs. Defensively, this was a beating.

1257
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 1: I loved what one thing I love about what how

1258
01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 1: Detroit adjusted in this game and got out of a fix.

1259
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: Was that early on and we were watching this, you know, together, Greg,

1260
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 1: I was more listening to you watching was happening. I mean,

1261
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 1: I I am, I'm a big I'm loving this line.

1262
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 1: I was watching justin fields though, and he looked like,

1263
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 1: because he tore them up on the ground the first

1264
01:05:26,600 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 1: time they met, it's not a good run defense. We

1265
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: know what happened a week ago, and twenty minutes into

1266
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:35,920
Speaker 1: this in real time, it looked like one of those

1267
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 1: games from him, and Detroit might not have any way

1268
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 1: to stop this. After what happened we go, they tightened

1269
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: it up. I mean, it seemed like it got banged

1270
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 1: up at one point and they kind of de emphasized

1271
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 1: him on the ground. And then then then what happens

1272
01:05:46,440 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 1: to the Bears. Their leading receiver had twenty seven yards,

1273
01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,160
Speaker 1: so it's like they're so limited and they just can't

1274
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: if it's not him in the ground, they're done. Yeah,

1275
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 1: he finished a hundred thirty two yards rushing. He's up

1276
01:05:56,720 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 1: over eleven hundred yards on the ground, but seven a

1277
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,480
Speaker 1: he won Greggy for seventy yards through the year. So

1278
01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: the Lions defense, yeah, is like but they're a run funnel,

1279
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 1: as the fantasy kids would say, which they're just begging

1280
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 1: teams to run against them. There. They were really bad

1281
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 1: run defense and that could hurt them against the Packers.

1282
01:06:17,400 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 1: But their pass rush was incredible today. The Bears lost

1283
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 1: to offensive lineman early. You're right, I think they got

1284
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: some breaks. Uh Fields got a little banged up at

1285
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: the end of the first quarter, and then he seemed

1286
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 1: a little more hesitant and then suddenly they were facing

1287
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: a big deficit in the end move but he they

1288
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 1: could not protect him. Seven sacks. Josh Pascal, who's a

1289
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 1: second round pick for them and didn't play most of

1290
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 1: this season, has entered the line up late in the

1291
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: season got a couple of sacks. James Houston, who still

1292
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 1: doesn't have a hundred snaps on the season and was

1293
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:51,280
Speaker 1: playing for Dion Sanders last year, is up to seven

1294
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 1: and a half sacks and had a forced fumble in

1295
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 1: a key spot on fields. Aidan Hutchinson had a terrific

1296
01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:01,040
Speaker 1: game creating Havoc had a Sack had an intercept, an interception.

1297
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 1: The interception was amazing. It's like here these last week

1298
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 1: I know, well, I think that's to my point. I

1299
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: think when they can rush the passer, they're a good team.

1300
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 1: I think they're a good past even is a good

1301
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 1: pass rush right now. But they just can't stop the

1302
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 1: run and eventually the Bears and how do they before

1303
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 1: we move on, how do you how do you get

1304
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 1: to the playoffs? Detroit Lions. They are in the worst

1305
01:07:21,280 --> 01:07:24,360
Speaker 1: spot of the three NFC teams that are still alive.

1306
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 1: So it's down to Seattle green Bay in Detroit, green

1307
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: Bay winning in the Lions, as I mentioned, win and

1308
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:39,720
Speaker 1: they need a Seattle loss, Seattle the Packers so that

1309
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: we'll we'll see that they're They're counting on the Rams

1310
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: to step up against Seattle. It's not impossible. But I

1311
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,680
Speaker 1: do think no matter what, getting to Week eighteen with

1312
01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 1: a chance to either make the playoffs or end the

1313
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 1: Packers season and end your season potentially on a win

1314
01:07:57,520 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 1: in a winning record, you can't tell me that that

1315
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 1: actually wouldn't be a better end of the season than

1316
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 1: getting blasted by the forty niners or something in the

1317
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 1: wild card round. And I think they have a lot

1318
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: to play for. No matter what I can, I push

1319
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 1: back because we we were aways, Like I'll push back

1320
01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 1: on that that winning in Week eighteen would be better

1321
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: than a Lions team. If we're gonna talk about the

1322
01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 1: Jets is being but it's gonna it's gonna mean a

1323
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 1: lot and give you a good feeling. And I mean

1324
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 1: I would much prefer the coaching staff and the players

1325
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,559
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs and you deal with growing pains

1326
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,719
Speaker 1: there and you learn front for the next year, because

1327
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,679
Speaker 1: like this fan base has been through hell and back twice,

1328
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 1: making the playoffs is a massive organizational boost. Absolutely, that's

1329
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:41,400
Speaker 1: the Bills. Remember when they had that long drought and

1330
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: they got there. Remember West was all fired up because

1331
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:47,160
Speaker 1: he hated that Bill's team with Tyrod because Andy Dalton

1332
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:50,080
Speaker 1: had that huge touchdown against the Ravens. Like, yes, the

1333
01:08:50,120 --> 01:08:51,840
Speaker 1: Bills weren't a great team that year, but that was

1334
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:54,160
Speaker 1: an organizational stepping stone and then all of a sudden

1335
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 1: they were a big time team. I hope the lines

1336
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 1: do make it. That would be fun. Did you get

1337
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh is going to be amped up to knockout

1338
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 1: Seattle to Yeah? Seven, maybe get one one more big

1339
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 1: Baker game and it opens the door for Detroit seven

1340
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 1: and two in the last nine. Nice job. Let's hear

1341
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 1: from Dan Campbell before we take a break. It's just

1342
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 1: so special. Um, it's as good as it can get.

1343
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, you get to go to Lambeau, historic Lambeau,

1344
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: where the tops in this division has been Green Bay

1345
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 1: every year years and and to go earn your right,

1346
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:29,760
Speaker 1: you know, uh, to potentially get in. Even if you

1347
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 1: do get that win doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get in,

1348
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 1: I know. And uh, and so I just think this

1349
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 1: is as special as it gets. I mean, I just

1350
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 1: don't think you'd want it any other way. Very cool,

1351
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a break. We'll be right back.

1352
01:09:45,400 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 1: All right, we're back, uh, we said earlier. The Lines

1353
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 1: haven't been to the playoffs since two thousand sixteen. There's

1354
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:56,320
Speaker 1: another team that has not punched their ticket since. Let's

1355
01:09:56,320 --> 01:10:02,200
Speaker 1: head to the swampster Jersey the middle ends. He takes

1356
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:05,640
Speaker 1: the snap, plays Jones rolled to his luck, gets a

1357
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 1: block from Tamisey for the five Jones races in touchdown

1358
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:14,320
Speaker 1: giants sucking Ruster cuts down for Daniel Jones and let

1359
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 1: the party begin at MetLife Stadium. Indeed, Papa oh w

1360
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: f a n with the call. Daniel Jones threw two

1361
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:30,559
Speaker 1: touchdown passes, ran for two touchdowns. That's four touchdowns for

1362
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 1: Mr Jones, and the Giants rolled over the completely like

1363
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 1: corpse like Indianapolis Colts thirty eight time. Remember Zach Keefer

1364
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 1: said a couple of months ago, Oh, yeah, they'll win

1365
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 1: one more game with Jeff Saturday as that coach. They're

1366
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 1: gonna do exactly that, and I think they've won. They

1367
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:51,800
Speaker 1: gotta win next week. Then yeah, they beat the the

1368
01:10:52,080 --> 01:10:56,559
Speaker 1: bag Raiders the first game and it's lost out since anyway,

1369
01:10:58,400 --> 01:11:04,680
Speaker 1: Giants over Colts and the Giants do qualify for the playoffs.

1370
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 1: Greg Uh, Listen, I'm not gonna take anything away from

1371
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,120
Speaker 1: the Giants. They've they've had a nice schedule this year.

1372
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:13,559
Speaker 1: They've had some things go their way. But it doesn't

1373
01:11:13,600 --> 01:11:16,160
Speaker 1: matter the fact that they in Brian Dables first year

1374
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:19,799
Speaker 1: with that roster, with those injuries, to win nine games

1375
01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:22,960
Speaker 1: and get to the playoffs, big, big, big development for

1376
01:11:23,040 --> 01:11:25,160
Speaker 1: the Frenchise and they're playing their best ball right now.

1377
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: I think their last three weeks is their best three

1378
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:29,839
Speaker 1: weeks stretch of the entire season. I think their offense

1379
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 1: is certainly playing their best of the entire season. And

1380
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:36,400
Speaker 1: I love that Danny Dimes had a moment. I mean,

1381
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have thought the way his career was going

1382
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 1: that he was gonna have a moment where Brian Dable

1383
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 1: very cool I thought, took him out in the middle

1384
01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 1: of a drive in the fourth quarter, so he got

1385
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 1: the standing opation during the game NBA style, like when

1386
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 1: they're taking Tatum out after he started fifty. I loved it.

1387
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 1: Deable has done everything right this year, even that it

1388
01:11:57,160 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: was awesome and this was one of his best games ever.

1389
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:03,160
Speaker 1: Daniels owns uh like his first touchdown I think showed

1390
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:06,920
Speaker 1: his progression as a player, where he gets to his

1391
01:12:07,000 --> 01:12:09,960
Speaker 1: third read, he moves outside the pocket. He was very common.

1392
01:12:10,040 --> 01:12:12,519
Speaker 1: He finds the guy he's like making plays, and he's

1393
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:16,959
Speaker 1: being very smart when he's doing it. And they're healthier,

1394
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:20,880
Speaker 1: Hodgens and Bellinger's making some places. I think they've stabilized

1395
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:23,559
Speaker 1: se Juan's running well. I actually do think they're a

1396
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 1: little better right now then I thought most of the

1397
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:29,920
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Yeah, they did stabilize. Remember this

1398
01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 1: seemed like a team that was free falling out of contention. Yeah,

1399
01:12:32,560 --> 01:12:35,400
Speaker 1: especially especially when you when you were wondering if if

1400
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:38,040
Speaker 1: Sae Kwon Barkley was going to finish the season. Um,

1401
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 1: even the shadow of himself, And and that has gotten better.

1402
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: And when you get this version of Daniel Jones and

1403
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:45,720
Speaker 1: you have Brian Dable who works with Josh Allen. I'm

1404
01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:47,680
Speaker 1: not saying that Daniel Jones is Josh Allen, but you

1405
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 1: get that power on the ground. That's when you get

1406
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:54,120
Speaker 1: those games. And then you get se Kwon doing what

1407
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 1: he's doing, Like the Giants are a tough out, I

1408
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: realize you're playing the Cults. I will mention this about

1409
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,680
Speaker 1: Zach Kieffer, by the way. He had a pretty um

1410
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: telling tweet today. He said, I've covered some bad teams

1411
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 1: in my years on this beat, teams that unexpectedly lost

1412
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:11,400
Speaker 1: its starting quarterback before the season two. This is the

1413
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 1: worst Colts team of them all. And I mean, okay,

1414
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 1: he's been there for a long time. But like the

1415
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 1: plan also feels completely off the map. They're talking about

1416
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday is a legit candidate. Um, I would spread

1417
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:25,759
Speaker 1: a wide net. Sounds like there, by the way, because

1418
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:28,760
Speaker 1: by even think the owner chef Saturday the owner likes.

1419
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 1: But that's the problem. My point is by floating that

1420
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:33,640
Speaker 1: out there to the media, it makes it seem like

1421
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 1: the owner didn't really mess up because he's liked them

1422
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 1: enough that he'll be considered. But they'd be nuts. But

1423
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on about the cults. The

1424
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,799
Speaker 1: better at this point, let's hear from se Kwon Barkley

1425
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:47,760
Speaker 1: talking about Danny Dimes playing the biggest game in the

1426
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 1: biggest spot here his name, get chan it. Um. You

1427
01:13:51,240 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 1: know it's a beautiful thing and you can finally see

1428
01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:57,160
Speaker 1: he's saw a good of respect that he earns. Um.

1429
01:13:57,280 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: I know everyone want to be a big credit of

1430
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:02,120
Speaker 1: him or say this, say that, but uh, he gave

1431
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 1: this opportunity to play playoff football and he lost it

1432
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 1: in today. Um, when we need a most, when we

1433
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 1: need him mostly came up and made big place. There

1434
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:12,599
Speaker 1: you go. We need some money. One of the reasons

1435
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:14,599
Speaker 1: I believe in the Giants more than I did. And

1436
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:18,240
Speaker 1: it's all relative, but it's the defense. They got Zavian

1437
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:21,519
Speaker 1: McKinney back, one of their best players in their secondary today.

1438
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 1: They got Dorri Jackson back their best cornerback today. Uh,

1439
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:27,960
Speaker 1: their pass rush is healthier than it's been as he's

1440
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 1: a Gelari's back. Thibodeau had a great game. We can

1441
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 1: we can talk about his his celebration if you want.

1442
01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:36,799
Speaker 1: Dexter Lawrence Somewhere Dave Gettelman is watching this game and saying,

1443
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:39,639
Speaker 1: how you like me now, Danny Dimes, Dexter Lawrence and say,

1444
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 1: Quon Barkley. I'm not all bad Giants fans, but all right,

1445
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:46,720
Speaker 1: he's right. He found some players for them. There you go. No,

1446
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:49,759
Speaker 1: the the Cavan thing, cave on our buddy, not our friend,

1447
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 1: and he'll be on the show one day. Um. He

1448
01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 1: absolutely creamed Nick Foles. Who Nick Foles? Uh? Upset that

1449
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:58,840
Speaker 1: he's injured. He as a rib injury, was knocked out

1450
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:01,439
Speaker 1: of the game. Probably should have never been playing in

1451
01:15:01,439 --> 01:15:04,960
Speaker 1: the first place. I really struggled the way this season.

1452
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if we'll see Nick Foles again. Period. Uh.

1453
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 1: He was doing a big time snow angel for ten

1454
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:12,680
Speaker 1: twelve seconds as Falls was writhing in pay next to

1455
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 1: him about two feet away. I thought I even saw

1456
01:15:15,280 --> 01:15:17,599
Speaker 1: Cavan uh. And a lot of people pointed this on Twitter.

1457
01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:20,479
Speaker 1: Take a peek and see Falls there continued to do

1458
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 1: the snow angel. Uh some he got a lot of

1459
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 1: people got on him. Ryan Kelly Um of the Colts

1460
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 1: called it horse s Cavan claimed that he didn't see

1461
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 1: Folds there anyway. It's you know. He also jester, I

1462
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 1: didn't mind the celebration because he could either see him

1463
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:39,720
Speaker 1: or not and you're down there doing it. But he

1464
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 1: did put it like put him to sleep sign over

1465
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 1: on the sideline while also played great, which is also

1466
01:15:49,040 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 1: he's one of the reasons that the Giants are where

1467
01:15:51,120 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 1: they are right now because he's been a successful pick,

1468
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,479
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. I mean I saw him waving

1469
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:57,680
Speaker 1: his arms and he's tapping Foles at the side. I

1470
01:15:57,720 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 1: just I don't know if he saw him or not,

1471
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 1: Like we have to try rust him on that, but

1472
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:03,200
Speaker 1: it was and it was a weird look because I

1473
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 1: think for me, when you have these hits where you

1474
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 1: have someone like Fuld, someone that we've seen go to

1475
01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:09,840
Speaker 1: the greatest possible heights and then he's on the ground

1476
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 1: writhing in pain and ended up being a rib injury.

1477
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 1: So but I don't know, that kind of stuff is

1478
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 1: like it makes you think differently about the sport in

1479
01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 1: the general. And I agree about the Giants looking better

1480
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:21,960
Speaker 1: than they have even when they were winning a lot

1481
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,880
Speaker 1: of games earlier in the season. That's gonna be I know,

1482
01:16:25,920 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 1: you could say the Giants, it's not an exciting team

1483
01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 1: that they're going to play a very close game again

1484
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 1: against the Vikings if they meet in the playoffs, and

1485
01:16:32,439 --> 01:16:35,760
Speaker 1: that probably rest their starters as we as we mentioned. Yes,

1486
01:16:36,240 --> 01:16:40,200
Speaker 1: oh nice lock. Yeah, this was probably my most successful

1487
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 1: lock of the whole year. The first time I've been

1488
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:44,040
Speaker 1: able to sit back and be like, all right, they

1489
01:16:44,080 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 1: took care of business. Hear something, hear something, and I

1490
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 1: didn't hear anything. I mean, I mean, hey, it's I

1491
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 1: was in last place in the PIS competition. Hey, happy

1492
01:16:56,240 --> 01:17:00,920
Speaker 1: New Year, New You're justin a great job on the lock. Um.

1493
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: I wish I would have locked that New York team. Um,

1494
01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 1: all right, let's keep moving. Let's head across the sidewalk

1495
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 1: to Sofi Stadium, Battle of Los Angeles. The whole he's through.

1496
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 1: It's a foot race. Ted Austin necklock touchstofs sharters seventy

1497
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:30,880
Speaker 1: two yards, a new career law. Leonard Floyd giving it

1498
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: everything he's got. You're not gonna catch Austin Ekeler Matt

1499
01:17:35,840 --> 01:17:39,840
Speaker 1: money Smith going into the Hall of Fame. The around

1500
01:17:39,840 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 1: the NFL Hall of Fame, do you ever get like

1501
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:44,240
Speaker 1: an exhibit somewhere? Yeah, he would be front and center.

1502
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: He's getting like a whole glassed in portion and and

1503
01:17:48,560 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 1: his partner is broadcasting. People put the exhibit on Mark's desk.

1504
01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 1: He has nothing else on the desk, so there's if

1505
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 1: something would happen chaotically. I don't want any possessions here

1506
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:00,360
Speaker 1: that matter money and Daniel Jeremiah with the all K

1507
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:04,559
Speaker 1: Y s R. Yes, Austin Ekeler again, if you have

1508
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:07,720
Speaker 1: passed on him in your fantasy draft? Has I I? No?

1509
01:18:07,880 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 1: I did to take Jonathan Taylor. Oh you're eating dirt,

1510
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 1: because he's had another huge season and he led the

1511
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 1: way in a thirty one ten whipping by the Chargers

1512
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 1: of the Rams, the defending champions. Fault of five and eleven.

1513
01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 1: Not a lot on the line in this game, the

1514
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: Rams obviously just playing for pride and the Chargers pretty

1515
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:30,760
Speaker 1: much locked in. I believe Greg in the a f

1516
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 1: C am I correct about that at ten and six.

1517
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 1: Now do you have a chance as we're taping this?

1518
01:18:36,320 --> 01:18:41,200
Speaker 1: Uh wish i'd inside it too late. Now could tease

1519
01:18:41,240 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 1: though for later. Yeah, anyway, thirty one ten, Eckler goes

1520
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 1: for a hundred and twenty two UM on the ground

1521
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:52,800
Speaker 1: thirty nine through uh the air game, Herbert Herbert has

1522
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: a very steady performance. Who watched this game? Who was

1523
01:18:56,400 --> 01:19:00,439
Speaker 1: on this game? Grave Digger? I watched this game. I

1524
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:04,600
Speaker 1: will say this was a sensational game for Mike Williams

1525
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:07,920
Speaker 1: and Austin Ekeler. Austin Ekeler was at one point in

1526
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:10,320
Speaker 1: the third quarter was averaging fourteen yards per carry. I

1527
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 1: think he finished with like um, I mean, you could

1528
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:16,760
Speaker 1: have touched the ball more. But at the same time,

1529
01:19:16,880 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 1: the starters for the Chargers were out of this game

1530
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 1: with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter because it

1531
01:19:21,280 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 1: was wrapped up and they got to preserve these guys

1532
01:19:23,360 --> 01:19:25,639
Speaker 1: fair playoff game. There you go. I think this matters.

1533
01:19:25,680 --> 01:19:27,679
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the first time they scored thirty plus

1534
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 1: since Week five, and we're waiting to see the Chargers

1535
01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:32,600
Speaker 1: kind of flex their muscles and not be It's the

1536
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 1: same talking point every week, like why isn't Joe Lombardi

1537
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 1: doing X, Y and Z with Justin Herbert? Why are

1538
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 1: they so sort of hemmed in and truncated. It's like,

1539
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 1: go blow someone's doors off. They've won four straight games.

1540
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 1: All the things that we expect out of the Chargers

1541
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:49,320
Speaker 1: to slip up not happening. Joe, their injury luck getting better.

1542
01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:52,679
Speaker 1: Joe Mosa played in this game, returned even a week

1543
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 1: earlier than expected, might have Ragons later back for the playoffs.

1544
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: They are the team I wouldn't feel comfortable with if

1545
01:19:59,040 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 1: you're one of those top team is in the in

1546
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 1: the first round. And we'll get into the Chargers more

1547
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 1: later in the week. Good job by l A. Anything

1548
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:09,520
Speaker 1: else to add I don't think. So Let's move elsewhere

1549
01:20:09,680 --> 01:20:11,720
Speaker 1: in the a f C West where the Broncos and

1550
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:15,839
Speaker 1: Chiefs are supposed to play a huge Week seventeen game. Uh. Instead,

1551
01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 1: it wasn't a huge game, but the Chiefs still had

1552
01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 1: to take care of business, did they. Now for the

1553
01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:23,880
Speaker 1: right four arm of Russell Wilson, and he's gonna be here.

1554
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 1: Chris Jones got Now he gets rid of the ball

1555
01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:29,680
Speaker 1: and knocked down but picked up by the Chiefs in

1556
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 1: a minute thirteen to go in the game. Chris Jones

1557
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:36,679
Speaker 1: just took the game in his own hands. Big play

1558
01:20:36,760 --> 01:20:42,920
Speaker 1: there sneaky big play for UH. The Chiefs who got

1559
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:45,559
Speaker 1: into him straight up battle with the Broncos and went

1560
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:47,680
Speaker 1: down to the last drive and Chris Jones makes the

1561
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:53,439
Speaker 1: play sacking Russell Wilson to ensure a win. UH for

1562
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 1: Kansas City. UM. That keeps the Chiefs in the mix

1563
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 1: for the number one seed in the a f C.

1564
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:05,479
Speaker 1: At thirteen and three. The Broncos have now lost fifteen

1565
01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: straight games to the Chiefs. How about that? How about that? UM?

1566
01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 1: This was a game from the chief side of it.

1567
01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:17,479
Speaker 1: That was a big play for a young defense. I

1568
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:19,920
Speaker 1: thought it was a good test there at the at

1569
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: the end, they needed to make the stop and they

1570
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:24,720
Speaker 1: got it done. So I know Andy Reid obviously, UH

1571
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:27,400
Speaker 1: is looking at that as another positive sign as January

1572
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:31,639
Speaker 1: comes around. UM, Russell Uh. Patrick Mahomes went over five

1573
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: thousand yards passing once again, which is just amazing. He

1574
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:38,840
Speaker 1: does it almost effortlessly. UM. He also threw an end

1575
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:43,760
Speaker 1: zone pick, missed a gimme deep ball touchdown pass. UM.

1576
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:46,560
Speaker 1: I think Greg He's gonna probably win m v P.

1577
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,880
Speaker 1: But I think maybe it's just me. But sometimes when

1578
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm watching him, I don't see him locked in as

1579
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:55,000
Speaker 1: in some other Pat Mahomes years, or it's just like,

1580
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: oh my god, Uh, this guy's out of his mind.

1581
01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:00,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes there are those slip ups, but in general, Uh,

1582
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,479
Speaker 1: he had another very good game and they took care

1583
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 1: of business. Althose quite a battle here. I think it's

1584
01:22:06,320 --> 01:22:10,920
Speaker 1: worst stretch of the season since December started. Not that

1585
01:22:11,040 --> 01:22:14,599
Speaker 1: it's been bad, but you lose to the Bengals, you struggle.

1586
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:17,120
Speaker 1: You know, he played well in that first Broncos game,

1587
01:22:17,160 --> 01:22:18,880
Speaker 1: but that ended up being a shootout where where you

1588
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:20,760
Speaker 1: don't score any in the second half. You struggle with

1589
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:25,439
Speaker 1: the Texans. Uh, last week was a struggle offensively, and

1590
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:27,800
Speaker 1: then this game is close. It just feels like the

1591
01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:30,720
Speaker 1: same Chief stuff. I don't know what to think about it.

1592
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:33,720
Speaker 1: But you end up with forty six yards rushing and

1593
01:22:33,840 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 1: then your special teams is bad week after week. And

1594
01:22:37,200 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 1: I and I know Chiefs fans have been saying it

1595
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:41,880
Speaker 1: a lot, like special teams is going to get this

1596
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:44,560
Speaker 1: team killed. And they keep winning these close games and

1597
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 1: a lot of the reason why they're close is because

1598
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 1: their special teams let them down. Yeah, they had a

1599
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 1: botched a fumbled punt baked Arias Tony. They had a

1600
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 1: botched snap um on an extra point attempt, so they

1601
01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:00,840
Speaker 1: just you know, it's another misfield goal. I hate the

1602
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 1: consistently though. It's it's it's annoying. Yeah, it's something that, Yeah,

1603
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:07,680
Speaker 1: I wonder if they're going to try to address in

1604
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:09,519
Speaker 1: the off season. But that's you know, that is not

1605
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:12,639
Speaker 1: the time. Jack McKinnon, by the way, has made history

1606
01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 1: here is fifth receiving touch on five consecutive games as

1607
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 1: a running back. So that's that's interesting. So it's they

1608
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: are getting production out of their backfield, even if it's

1609
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:23,920
Speaker 1: not in a traditional way. Um on the Denver side,

1610
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:26,800
Speaker 1: I thought Russell Wilson was better his two of his

1611
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:28,760
Speaker 1: best games of the season or against the Chiefs. But

1612
01:23:29,240 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 1: in very uh two thousand twenty two now two thousand

1613
01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:35,760
Speaker 1: twenty three russ form, he kind of killed them with

1614
01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 1: a really bad interception that led to a Kansas City

1615
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:41,800
Speaker 1: score in the second half. That kind of set the

1616
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:44,960
Speaker 1: tone for this game shifting in addition to taking the

1617
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:46,640
Speaker 1: sack with the game on the line, so kind of

1618
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:48,680
Speaker 1: more the same and that. But you did get for

1619
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 1: the Broncos, what's the in term, coach Jerry Rossberg, Um,

1620
01:23:53,080 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 1: you did get that post firing bump from the team

1621
01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:59,120
Speaker 1: that played very hard to the end. Ultimately that came

1622
01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:01,320
Speaker 1: up short. I mean, Russell Wilson. If you want to

1623
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:03,800
Speaker 1: try to sell it to the next potential coach, good

1624
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 1: luck with that duty. First of all. But against the Chiefs,

1625
01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:10,320
Speaker 1: your most important divisional opponent. He's got four d and

1626
01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:14,360
Speaker 1: sixty nine yards, four touchdowns, two picks. Also four eight

1627
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:16,800
Speaker 1: four yards on the ground with two touchdowns against Kansas

1628
01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 1: City and seven quarters because Brett Rippian played a quarter,

1629
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:22,599
Speaker 1: but rippy and ripping. It's every well, I say Rippyan,

1630
01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:25,560
Speaker 1: but that's but that's disrespectful to the man that's a

1631
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl m v P. I'll think about I'll think

1632
01:24:28,360 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 1: about altering that. But that's how Dan has different pronunciations

1633
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 1: for your first name sometimes that you don't an appreciate that.

1634
01:24:38,720 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 1: One of Chris Wesley's favorite players on defense for years

1635
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:45,759
Speaker 1: was Justin Simmons. He loved this safety combo. Justin Simmons

1636
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:48,600
Speaker 1: has been a beast this year. Six interception and this

1637
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:53,040
Speaker 1: doesn't quite qualify as developing news, um, but the Broncos

1638
01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:57,320
Speaker 1: have already reached out to Jim Harbaugh. Uh the fields

1639
01:24:58,479 --> 01:25:00,599
Speaker 1: for a team that's gonna do the old thing where

1640
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:02,719
Speaker 1: they go from the guy that was way too nice

1641
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 1: and soft too. That the hardass hardball. They're gonna spend

1642
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:09,800
Speaker 1: a lot of money. It's Walmart money. That makes a

1643
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:11,120
Speaker 1: lot of sense. I'm not saying it's gonna be the

1644
01:25:11,200 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 1: right move hardballs. He wears out flirtations with the Jets

1645
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 1: too over the years, something to keep in mind. The

1646
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:20,720
Speaker 1: Washington Post about that, and also mentioned Sean Payton and

1647
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:22,800
Speaker 1: Dan Quinn. I just I don't know. I just I

1648
01:25:22,840 --> 01:25:26,960
Speaker 1: think this is a weird job. It's obsessively weird. It's

1649
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:28,680
Speaker 1: a weird job. Oh you know what else is weird?

1650
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:33,200
Speaker 1: I love this interaction between Adam ar Chiletta, whose voice

1651
01:25:33,200 --> 01:25:35,720
Speaker 1: I believe you'll hear first here, and Greg Gumbel, his

1652
01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:38,120
Speaker 1: partner in the booth for CBS. You never want to

1653
01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 1: take a helmet to the Crotchell region, but crotche yes,

1654
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:48,759
Speaker 1: that's uh, it's medical term. Being helped off the field

1655
01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:51,800
Speaker 1: is number twenty seven to Maori Mathis. I first heard

1656
01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 1: that from my good friend Ron Burgundy. Wait wait wait, wait,

1657
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 1: so Mathis helped off the you what what really sold

1658
01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:06,240
Speaker 1: it for me was that long, uncomfortable, pregnant pause. Because

1659
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:09,240
Speaker 1: Greg gumble does not know who the hell Ron Burgundy

1660
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 1: is what that is. And so he just just quiet

1661
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:16,960
Speaker 1: and Archi Letta just hangs. He just leaves Archelletta hanging

1662
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:19,320
Speaker 1: to die there. I've had a lot of games where

1663
01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:21,439
Speaker 1: the two of them are doing their thing, and sometimes

1664
01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 1: Chetta may have some complaints off the air about the

1665
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:28,200
Speaker 1: lack of chemistry potentially. Let's take a break. We'll be

1666
01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 1: right back, all right, welcome back. Let's uh wrap up

1667
01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 1: the afternoon games ahead of the Sunday night football, starting

1668
01:26:38,160 --> 01:26:42,760
Speaker 1: with Jags Texans AFC South. For all the marbles, not

1669
01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:48,759
Speaker 1: even a single marble. He didn't open field forty. Anybody

1670
01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:52,519
Speaker 1: have marbles anymore? What is the state of marbles? And

1671
01:26:54,200 --> 01:26:57,800
Speaker 1: what a great job the offensive line of opening up

1672
01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 1: a huge cavalry Travis roll them all the way to

1673
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:07,599
Speaker 1: the end zone. It's kind of okay, It's like your

1674
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:12,080
Speaker 1: internal monologue like interrupts every one of these calls. Frank Frangie,

1675
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 1: Uh with the call w O k V. That was Travis.

1676
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,040
Speaker 1: Travis a t N with a sixty two yard touchdown.

1677
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:22,679
Speaker 1: He had a buck oh eight and a score before halftime,

1678
01:27:22,880 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 1: and then he was done. They pulled him. Same thing

1679
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 1: with Trevor Lawrence got him out of the game, didn't

1680
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:29,560
Speaker 1: matter the game for the Jaguars who were playing for

1681
01:27:29,840 --> 01:27:32,320
Speaker 1: the a f C South, Or did we establish that

1682
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:34,120
Speaker 1: it actually did kind of matter. They can still get

1683
01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 1: the wild card whatever. They took care of business thirty

1684
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:39,600
Speaker 1: one through him, like Ron Rivera. Now, who am I

1685
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:42,479
Speaker 1: to judge Jacksonville's eight and eight first place in the

1686
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:44,080
Speaker 1: a f C South. They'll win the division for the

1687
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:48,320
Speaker 1: first time since Mark with a win over the Tennessee

1688
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 1: Titans next Sunday. The Titans have lost six straight. Of course,

1689
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:55,719
Speaker 1: there were whispers out there like could the Jaguars decide

1690
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:58,960
Speaker 1: to yank everyone because of the nature of next week's games?

1691
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 1: And I just loved Doug Peterson basically sat, no one

1692
01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:05,080
Speaker 1: went in and then they on reverse got to pull

1693
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:07,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of people playing in the game and they

1694
01:28:07,080 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 1: got the rest. I don't think he is anymore, not

1695
01:28:10,479 --> 01:28:15,240
Speaker 1: after this. No. He famously was upset that the front

1696
01:28:15,320 --> 01:28:18,560
Speaker 1: office made him sit his quarterback when he was the

1697
01:28:18,640 --> 01:28:21,280
Speaker 1: coach of the Eagles, and he was saying, I think, pointedly,

1698
01:28:21,400 --> 01:28:24,600
Speaker 1: this week, every game matters, and I believe in that

1699
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:28,400
Speaker 1: that in this scenario, at least where it's a young team,

1700
01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 1: who's seven and eight. It's not like they've earned like

1701
01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:34,160
Speaker 1: let's like take off to keep it going. They have

1702
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:36,559
Speaker 1: to feel like they have a lot of confidence right now,

1703
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 1: and it's because every part of the team is really contributing,

1704
01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:44,000
Speaker 1: like their running game, their defense, like everything's been really

1705
01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 1: clean lately. I think they're feeling great. Yeah, I'm with you.

1706
01:28:46,960 --> 01:28:50,040
Speaker 1: They're explosive. After that e t n sixty two yard touchdown,

1707
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 1: they flipped around and you know, the Texans have been

1708
01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 1: playing well in recent weeks and putting up a fight,

1709
01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:58,839
Speaker 1: but Davis Mills had a sort of a wayward backward

1710
01:28:58,920 --> 01:29:01,519
Speaker 1: passed that fluttered, was picked up by Tyson Campbell. Was

1711
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 1: suddenly twenty one nothing and it's like this thing's over.

1712
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:06,360
Speaker 1: Like when the Texans are bad, the really bad. But

1713
01:29:06,439 --> 01:29:07,640
Speaker 1: it has to do with the fact that, like to

1714
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:10,839
Speaker 1: your point, Greg, when the when the Jacksonville Jaguars operate

1715
01:29:10,880 --> 01:29:14,040
Speaker 1: in complete fashion like this, they're scary. I would rather

1716
01:29:14,160 --> 01:29:16,719
Speaker 1: play other teams that maybe would have a higher seed

1717
01:29:17,280 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 1: in the playoffs the Jacksonville right now. And I don't

1718
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:22,240
Speaker 1: know if it's in the log zone, but the Jaguars,

1719
01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:24,760
Speaker 1: make no mistake, they're gonna boat race the tight. It's

1720
01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:27,600
Speaker 1: not in at least the today though I checked the

1721
01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:31,880
Speaker 1: early Oh there we go, Jack, Hello Grever, it's a

1722
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:34,040
Speaker 1: six and a half point spread right now. No, no, no,

1723
01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:37,160
Speaker 1: today it was lock where the yeah yeah yeah, yeah,

1724
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:42,400
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, I got you yea week huh, well that

1725
01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:46,880
Speaker 1: was that was three smart? Mark? Are you nervous? But

1726
01:29:47,080 --> 01:29:49,519
Speaker 1: great job? Are you nervous about our game next week? Mark?

1727
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:54,120
Speaker 1: Which game? Our Titans? Fans of myself? You you literally

1728
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:58,240
Speaker 1: had me removed as a fan on Twitter. So let's

1729
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:00,960
Speaker 1: let's move to I do want to up the scenario

1730
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:04,599
Speaker 1: you brought about. So if the Jaguars lose next week,

1731
01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:11,439
Speaker 1: they could still potentially be the wild card. If Miami loses,

1732
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:18,760
Speaker 1: possible Buffalo beats the Patriots happening, and as long as

1733
01:30:18,840 --> 01:30:22,240
Speaker 1: the Steelers don't finish this season on a long winning streak,

1734
01:30:22,280 --> 01:30:25,760
Speaker 1: they just have to lose one of very possible Steelers play.

1735
01:30:26,400 --> 01:30:30,040
Speaker 1: So this game did matter for Jacksonville on some level.

1736
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:32,600
Speaker 1: Uh and uh. They took care of business in a

1737
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:34,720
Speaker 1: way that the Chiefs and the Cowboys couldn't against the

1738
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:38,040
Speaker 1: Texans and the Texans, good job for the Texans. Stay

1739
01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:39,800
Speaker 1: right where you are, take some mils and and get

1740
01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:43,160
Speaker 1: that number one overall pick and the Jags I would say, like, yeah,

1741
01:30:43,240 --> 01:30:46,479
Speaker 1: we'd want them as the seventh seed over um, any

1742
01:30:46,520 --> 01:30:48,760
Speaker 1: other team that's in the mix right now. But then

1743
01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:50,880
Speaker 1: you would have a Jags team coming off a loss

1744
01:30:50,880 --> 01:30:53,559
Speaker 1: to the Titans in Week eighteen and the Titans host.

1745
01:30:53,640 --> 01:30:59,840
Speaker 1: Now want any of that? I want Jaguars over half

1746
01:30:59,880 --> 01:31:01,960
Speaker 1: the teams you just mentioned. I want. I wanted just

1747
01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:06,280
Speaker 1: to see the Dobbs family reaction to him making the playoffs.

1748
01:31:06,439 --> 01:31:09,120
Speaker 1: Will they react? Will they not? Guys, the doors on

1749
01:31:09,160 --> 01:31:12,400
Speaker 1: the commissary upstairs closed with our free dinner. We don't

1750
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:15,800
Speaker 1: wrap this up, so let's head to Atlanta. People need

1751
01:31:15,880 --> 01:31:23,960
Speaker 1: to know the real world steaks. But I'm doing my

1752
01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:28,840
Speaker 1: kicker rankings during Monday Night Football and during the during

1753
01:31:28,880 --> 01:31:31,320
Speaker 1: the call at this game. People wait for that tweet

1754
01:31:31,360 --> 01:31:34,920
Speaker 1: all year. The old zusers kicker ratings will be done

1755
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:37,920
Speaker 1: during the Monday night football telecast. Keep your eyes on Twitter,

1756
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:43,040
Speaker 1: all right, People go nuts and talking during every radio.

1757
01:31:44,320 --> 01:31:47,519
Speaker 1: Now I'm just doing it for West Durham with the call.

1758
01:31:47,960 --> 01:31:53,000
Speaker 1: Apologies to Wes w z g C. Good call. Young

1759
01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:56,360
Speaker 1: Wake Coup hit the field goal at the gun. He's

1760
01:31:56,400 --> 01:31:59,840
Speaker 1: been doing that the last couple of years, and the

1761
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:05,720
Speaker 1: Alkins take care of I lost my train of thought

1762
01:32:05,760 --> 01:32:08,679
Speaker 1: on this one. They take care of the Arizona Cardinals

1763
01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:12,360
Speaker 1: twenty to nineteen. So the Falcons moved to six and ten.

1764
01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:16,000
Speaker 1: Obviously they're eliminated. The Cardinals now four and twelve. This

1765
01:32:16,160 --> 01:32:18,360
Speaker 1: was the only game of the week that had no

1766
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:22,559
Speaker 1: playoff ramifications. Anybody have a thought it did have David Blow,

1767
01:32:23,040 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 1: who you know is a friend of the show. To

1768
01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 1: sound degree, I'm not sure he knows that um two

1769
01:32:27,920 --> 01:32:30,560
Speaker 1: two yards a touchdown, no picks, just read in a

1770
01:32:30,600 --> 01:32:32,920
Speaker 1: box score over there. Yeah, because I have not yet

1771
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:35,080
Speaker 1: had a chance to observe this as closely as I would,

1772
01:32:35,080 --> 01:32:37,719
Speaker 1: but I cannot wait to play. I think he played

1773
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:40,360
Speaker 1: pretty well and I think it's another chance. Ritter looks

1774
01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:42,559
Speaker 1: like he makes takes a little steps every week. Also,

1775
01:32:42,760 --> 01:32:45,800
Speaker 1: David but also had two carries for seven yards. He

1776
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 1: is a player three and a half yards and carry

1777
01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:50,679
Speaker 1: not a not a great average, but also not embarrassing.

1778
01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:52,640
Speaker 1: Arizona is still in the four seat. You know, if

1779
01:32:52,760 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 1: the number four pick right now, Atlanta went back a

1780
01:32:55,280 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 1: couple of spots with this win at six. I did

1781
01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:00,519
Speaker 1: want one more win. If this is going to be

1782
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:03,040
Speaker 1: the end of the Cliff Kingsbury era, just for hard

1783
01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:06,240
Speaker 1: knocks sake. They're trying hard every week and they just

1784
01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:09,519
Speaker 1: can't get it done. Another nice performance by your guy,

1785
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:12,800
Speaker 1: Tyler Algiers. So something positive for the Falcons that they

1786
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:16,439
Speaker 1: have a really nice backfield tandem there with Cordil Patterson.

1787
01:33:16,560 --> 01:33:18,160
Speaker 1: It's funny because I think, like two months ago it

1788
01:33:18,200 --> 01:33:21,840
Speaker 1: would not wasn't really getting much notice. But I think

1789
01:33:21,880 --> 01:33:24,439
Speaker 1: he's the leading rookie rusher right now. There you go.

1790
01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:28,880
Speaker 1: Doesn't help that he saw he saw it way ahead

1791
01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:31,400
Speaker 1: of that. He has more than ken You actually, um

1792
01:33:31,720 --> 01:33:33,840
Speaker 1: when I first mentioned him, you looked at his yards

1793
01:33:33,880 --> 01:33:35,800
Speaker 1: per carry on the season and told me that the

1794
01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:37,679
Speaker 1: whole thing was a joke. And it's like, look where

1795
01:33:37,720 --> 01:33:40,280
Speaker 1: we are now. That's called scouting, Greg. Can we also

1796
01:33:40,360 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 1: say that Breese All would have won the rushing title

1797
01:33:42,479 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 1: if you blow no doubt about it, no doubt about it.

1798
01:33:44,560 --> 01:33:47,800
Speaker 1: And I still I'm upset about that. It wasn't like

1799
01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:50,160
Speaker 1: an anti Breefe Hall take. I know, I know, but

1800
01:33:50,280 --> 01:33:53,519
Speaker 1: it did stir up more negative emotions about my personal

1801
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:58,400
Speaker 1: fan experience. Anyway, Congratulations to the Atlanta Falcons on the victory.

1802
01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:01,360
Speaker 1: Let's now move to the final game of the day,

1803
01:34:01,439 --> 01:34:06,880
Speaker 1: Sunday Night Football from Baltimore Steelers Ravens. Let's go pick

1804
01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:09,040
Speaker 1: it wants the staff, He's got it. Back to pass,

1805
01:34:09,160 --> 01:34:12,599
Speaker 1: looking left under pressure, gets away, throws left side tad

1806
01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 1: touchdown Pittsburgh. It's nausea Harris. Kenny pick An escape pick

1807
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:22,439
Speaker 1: pressure and finds Harris with a touchdown. Pittsburgh has taken

1808
01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:25,759
Speaker 1: the lead. Second touchdown catch of the year for Harris,

1809
01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:29,519
Speaker 1: and now Boswell's extra point is up and good and

1810
01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:34,360
Speaker 1: with fifties six seconds to go, the Steelers lead sixteen thirteen.

1811
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:37,960
Speaker 1: What a drive put together by Kenny Picking of the

1812
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:41,360
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. How about that Bill hill Grove with the

1813
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:45,000
Speaker 1: called w d V For the second week in a row,

1814
01:34:45,280 --> 01:34:50,120
Speaker 1: their young rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett leads the Steelers to

1815
01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:53,800
Speaker 1: a dramatic fourth quarter comeback win. This time. Yes, his

1816
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:56,320
Speaker 1: connection to Naja Harris, who had a huge game in

1817
01:34:56,400 --> 01:34:59,800
Speaker 1: his own right the difference in a sixteen thirteen win

1818
01:34:59,880 --> 01:35:03,680
Speaker 1: for the Steelers over the Ravens that keeps the Steelers

1819
01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:08,439
Speaker 1: in playoff consideration and and really sticks it to the

1820
01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:11,160
Speaker 1: ribs of the Ravens. Who still going to the dance

1821
01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:14,120
Speaker 1: at ten and six, but they had this one greggy,

1822
01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:17,840
Speaker 1: but pick It once again shows he's got a little

1823
01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:20,519
Speaker 1: something to him. And then the defense getting the pick

1824
01:35:20,680 --> 01:35:22,880
Speaker 1: of Ty Huntley to close it out. He's got some

1825
01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:26,120
Speaker 1: hood spot. This whole Steelers team does. They're they're fun

1826
01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:28,680
Speaker 1: at least, they're playing their best at the end and

1827
01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:31,000
Speaker 1: like all these other teams trying to get the seven seats,

1828
01:35:31,240 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 1: and when we're in the film room watching this game

1829
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:37,080
Speaker 1: and they get the ball, we all sort of thought

1830
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:39,519
Speaker 1: they're gonna go down the field and go win the

1831
01:35:39,640 --> 01:35:41,800
Speaker 1: game right now. And that's exactly what he did. And

1832
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:43,640
Speaker 1: it didn't do it on these simple players. That's the

1833
01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:45,080
Speaker 1: thing with pick It. He can be quiet for a

1834
01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:47,120
Speaker 1: lot of the game. But the nice place he makes

1835
01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:49,240
Speaker 1: a really nice rolling to the left on that play

1836
01:35:49,320 --> 01:35:51,559
Speaker 1: to start the drive out of structure. Then the ball

1837
01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:55,200
Speaker 1: up the seam was a beautiful throw, and then the touchdown.

1838
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:57,960
Speaker 1: Those are three awesome throws on one drive. Yeah, it

1839
01:35:58,040 --> 01:36:00,679
Speaker 1: was the he has a legit connection with at Firemouth.

1840
01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:03,120
Speaker 1: That was a twenty yard game. Steven sims out of

1841
01:36:03,160 --> 01:36:06,679
Speaker 1: nowhere that yard er at fourth and one picket converts

1842
01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:08,800
Speaker 1: with the push the butt thing that everyone's doing with

1843
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:12,440
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks, You push the buttocks. And then that incredible

1844
01:36:12,479 --> 01:36:16,200
Speaker 1: throw to Naji Harris where it was Roquan Smith nearly

1845
01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 1: had him, and it's like it took so much for

1846
01:36:18,520 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 1: any quarterback to do what he did on that play,

1847
01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:22,600
Speaker 1: to escape it, to see the field, to make the

1848
01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:25,560
Speaker 1: perfect throw and an incredible catch by Nazi Harris, and

1849
01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:28,320
Speaker 1: it's again, it's these Steelers that are all on their

1850
01:36:28,360 --> 01:36:32,400
Speaker 1: first rookie contracts, growing together as a group, and this

1851
01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:35,600
Speaker 1: team that was such a mess at one point in

1852
01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:38,360
Speaker 1: this season, they were two and six after getting flattened

1853
01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:41,479
Speaker 1: by the Dolphins and Eagles, went into the by came out,

1854
01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:44,400
Speaker 1: smashed the Saints and really have not been the same

1855
01:36:44,479 --> 01:36:47,360
Speaker 1: team since because you've seen their offense, which in the

1856
01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:49,880
Speaker 1: earlier part of the year, the offensive line couldn't keep

1857
01:36:49,920 --> 01:36:52,280
Speaker 1: anyone healthy. The running game was a mess. They were

1858
01:36:52,320 --> 01:36:53,960
Speaker 1: just you know, it was like I was going off

1859
01:36:54,000 --> 01:36:56,720
Speaker 1: on Matt Cannon on our Thursday show, and here we

1860
01:36:56,760 --> 01:37:00,920
Speaker 1: are their running game looks Steve ers Esk and it's

1861
01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:04,280
Speaker 1: just like it's it is an incredible coaching job. They

1862
01:37:04,320 --> 01:37:07,240
Speaker 1: ran for nearly two yards on the ground again, and

1863
01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 1: Chris collins Worth was pumping up Harris saying it's the

1864
01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 1: best game he's seen from him in the NFL. Jalen

1865
01:37:13,080 --> 01:37:15,920
Speaker 1: Warren's a really another really nice second banana in terms

1866
01:37:15,960 --> 01:37:18,559
Speaker 1: of their backfield. And I know this gets thrown around

1867
01:37:19,080 --> 01:37:22,200
Speaker 1: in an annoying way sometimes, especially when talking about quarterbacks,

1868
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:26,640
Speaker 1: but Kenny Pickett, he's poised, like in these moments, you

1869
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:30,760
Speaker 1: could tell he's completely under control and uh, hitting those

1870
01:37:30,800 --> 01:37:33,280
Speaker 1: type of throws when there's that much on the line.

1871
01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:35,600
Speaker 1: The season is literally on the line there for the

1872
01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:38,080
Speaker 1: Steelers really tells you a lot about him and it

1873
01:37:38,160 --> 01:37:40,400
Speaker 1: makes you feel h much the way I think the

1874
01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:42,800
Speaker 1: way And this also shows how things can change so

1875
01:37:42,920 --> 01:37:45,240
Speaker 1: quickly in the NFL. Not that the story is written

1876
01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:48,200
Speaker 1: about mac Jones, but how Patriots fans and the Patriots

1877
01:37:48,240 --> 01:37:49,960
Speaker 1: might have felt about mac Jones last year when he

1878
01:37:50,080 --> 01:37:53,200
Speaker 1: was making big plays and leading his team as a rookie.

1879
01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:56,160
Speaker 1: Pickets the kind of that guy this year where it's like, Okay,

1880
01:37:56,240 --> 01:37:58,560
Speaker 1: he's not jumping off the page like Justin Herbert or

1881
01:37:58,600 --> 01:38:00,800
Speaker 1: something as a rookie, but there seems like they have

1882
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:04,360
Speaker 1: something here in a well run organization might have identified

1883
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:06,840
Speaker 1: a quarterback who can really develop over the years here,

1884
01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:09,720
Speaker 1: and that they're all getting better together, not just the

1885
01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:12,160
Speaker 1: running game you mentioned. And I really like Jalen Warren.

1886
01:38:12,240 --> 01:38:15,200
Speaker 1: He's good in the offensive line. Like that's a group

1887
01:38:15,240 --> 01:38:17,360
Speaker 1: that stayed together even though they don't look good on paper.

1888
01:38:17,439 --> 01:38:19,800
Speaker 1: And all these games are so low scoring that it

1889
01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:22,800
Speaker 1: seems like the offenses stink and they're they're not great,

1890
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:25,160
Speaker 1: but part of it is just they hold the ball

1891
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:28,439
Speaker 1: forever and they they're these slow offenses. There were three

1892
01:38:28,600 --> 01:38:31,439
Speaker 1: drives each for each team in the first half, so

1893
01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:33,040
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of stops. There's just a lot

1894
01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:35,920
Speaker 1: of like seven minute long field goal drives by. But

1895
01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:38,360
Speaker 1: the way that Chris Consworth said t J. Watt kind

1896
01:38:38,360 --> 01:38:40,880
Speaker 1: of felt himself more this week, I think that showed up.

1897
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:43,040
Speaker 1: He hasn't really done a lot, even though the defense

1898
01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:46,400
Speaker 1: has been playing better. So going into next week now

1899
01:38:46,680 --> 01:38:50,680
Speaker 1: the Browns, we won't know the schedule until Monday, the

1900
01:38:50,840 --> 01:38:53,479
Speaker 1: NFL tells us, but we were talking about it with

1901
01:38:53,600 --> 01:38:56,240
Speaker 1: some people that are smarter than us producer types. They

1902
01:38:56,280 --> 01:38:58,400
Speaker 1: really think Steelers game will be a set. I just

1903
01:38:58,479 --> 01:39:00,559
Speaker 1: mean in terms of TV schedules. They kind of had

1904
01:39:00,560 --> 01:39:03,040
Speaker 1: a feel of it. Craig throws you and I also

1905
01:39:03,120 --> 01:39:08,760
Speaker 1: under the bus from a sit down. I'm host a

1906
01:39:08,800 --> 01:39:11,080
Speaker 1: podcast and see how smart thing I wasn't speaking with them,

1907
01:39:11,120 --> 01:39:13,400
Speaker 1: so they go, I'm not sure we were really thinking

1908
01:39:13,400 --> 01:39:17,280
Speaker 1: about the Saturday schedule audience show. Yeah, Steelers probably a

1909
01:39:17,320 --> 01:39:19,920
Speaker 1: Saturday game. It's that most likely because that is a

1910
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:22,960
Speaker 1: game that they can a good game. Because we have

1911
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:26,200
Speaker 1: Saturday games. That is another question. But we do have

1912
01:39:26,360 --> 01:39:28,519
Speaker 1: two Saturday games. What are we doing with the schedule

1913
01:39:28,600 --> 01:39:31,160
Speaker 1: this year? They want to keep you taking that ibuprofen

1914
01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:34,520
Speaker 1: the headache medicine that you're dealing with headache medicine. Disappointing

1915
01:39:34,600 --> 01:39:37,760
Speaker 1: loss for the Ravens to the very conservative. They're fading hard.

1916
01:39:38,360 --> 01:39:41,320
Speaker 1: They're fading hard, and like we said, uh Lamar Jackson's

1917
01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:43,280
Speaker 1: miss four games now with a knee injury. They need

1918
01:39:43,400 --> 01:39:46,759
Speaker 1: him back, obviously, Ty Huntley, he can't really play the guitar.

1919
01:39:46,840 --> 01:39:49,320
Speaker 1: He's a nice backup, but when they needed him, they

1920
01:39:49,400 --> 01:39:51,040
Speaker 1: had some time to get down the field with the

1921
01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:54,479
Speaker 1: best kicker that's ever lived waiting on the sideline, and

1922
01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:58,000
Speaker 1: he made a couple like suspect throws, including the interception

1923
01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:00,640
Speaker 1: that where he forced it into cover Ridge. Uh, and

1924
01:40:00,960 --> 01:40:04,160
Speaker 1: we like, we're Cam Hayward fans. We love Kemyward. Cam

1925
01:40:04,479 --> 01:40:06,560
Speaker 1: Heyward we met over the summer. He came to this

1926
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:09,000
Speaker 1: UH offices here and we got to talk to him.

1927
01:40:09,040 --> 01:40:12,200
Speaker 1: It seemed like a really like gentle giant type UH

1928
01:40:12,280 --> 01:40:15,200
Speaker 1: and one of the great defensive lineman in the sport. UH.

1929
01:40:15,439 --> 01:40:18,080
Speaker 1: He almost got a goat horn down this one on

1930
01:40:18,439 --> 01:40:20,439
Speaker 1: what I thought was a fugazz he call at the

1931
01:40:20,520 --> 01:40:22,320
Speaker 1: end of the first half that gave the Ravens set

1932
01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:25,400
Speaker 1: the Ravens up for their only touchdown in this game.

1933
01:40:25,520 --> 01:40:28,320
Speaker 1: So I was happy and and NBC had the uh

1934
01:40:28,640 --> 01:40:30,920
Speaker 1: good thought to keep the camera trained on him during

1935
01:40:30,960 --> 01:40:33,599
Speaker 1: that last drive because that would have been the story

1936
01:40:33,680 --> 01:40:36,599
Speaker 1: around Hayward and the personal foul and that pile up

1937
01:40:36,680 --> 01:40:38,240
Speaker 1: late in the first half. So I'm glad that didn't

1938
01:40:38,280 --> 01:40:40,280
Speaker 1: become the story. This is a way better story the

1939
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:41,880
Speaker 1: way it ended it. It is, And I love how

1940
01:40:42,160 --> 01:40:45,760
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin told the NBC crew about their troubles and

1941
01:40:45,800 --> 01:40:47,959
Speaker 1: how they got out and we don't die, We multiply,

1942
01:40:48,320 --> 01:40:52,000
Speaker 1: that's Mike. So Mike Tomlin estimate Nameless Gray Faces, that

1943
01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:54,720
Speaker 1: old hit from yesteryear. This Steelers team, I told you

1944
01:40:54,760 --> 01:40:56,439
Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago they were gonna win out and

1945
01:40:56,479 --> 01:40:59,479
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it. What nameless gray phrase. That's when

1946
01:40:59,479 --> 01:41:02,120
Speaker 1: they with called the Cleveland Browns nameless gray faces, then

1947
01:41:02,200 --> 01:41:04,880
Speaker 1: got their butts kicked. Doesn't always work. It's great when

1948
01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:07,240
Speaker 1: they're a different type of teams. When we talked about

1949
01:41:07,560 --> 01:41:10,439
Speaker 1: Tomlin might save this over five hundred streak, I don'tn't

1950
01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:13,160
Speaker 1: think anyone really believe two at six. It was just

1951
01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:17,200
Speaker 1: something to talk about. Recember and U and they are

1952
01:41:17,280 --> 01:41:20,120
Speaker 1: not moving to Saturday. We've got developing news. We've got

1953
01:41:20,240 --> 01:41:23,080
Speaker 1: a Saturday announcement at least perfect and I like what

1954
01:41:23,160 --> 01:41:28,040
Speaker 1: the NFL has done here developing news here justin we

1955
01:41:28,160 --> 01:41:31,360
Speaker 1: got Jared Stidman. An Island game Chiefs Raiders is going

1956
01:41:31,400 --> 01:41:34,519
Speaker 1: to be the early game Saturday, Chiefs will be playing

1957
01:41:34,560 --> 01:41:37,559
Speaker 1: for some sort of seating and uh Saturday night game.

1958
01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:39,879
Speaker 1: I like the compromise they made here. They're putting Titans

1959
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:43,760
Speaker 1: Jags on Saturday night because they don't wanna put it

1960
01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:48,559
Speaker 1: on Sunday night, but they don't want to totally Sunday football.

1961
01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:51,840
Speaker 1: That is the ideal solution. There's no other scenario right

1962
01:41:52,439 --> 01:41:55,519
Speaker 1: there is, But because I think they're waiting to see

1963
01:41:55,560 --> 01:41:58,280
Speaker 1: what happens with these Bills. This Bills game, and I

1964
01:41:58,520 --> 01:42:00,519
Speaker 1: think that'll be the game. But I'm our ay annoyed

1965
01:42:00,560 --> 01:42:04,479
Speaker 1: Seahawks fans. Don't don't die on this hill that this

1966
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:07,680
Speaker 1: is so unfair to you to put Lions Packers Sunday night.
