Yeah Football, that's right, Good Morning Football. 3 00:00:28,108 --> 00:00:30,508 Speaker 1: We are presented by Old Trapp or Beef Jerky Live. 4 00:00:30,588 --> 00:00:33,228 Speaker 1: You're in New York City. It's Monday, December fifth. I'm 5 00:00:33,308 --> 00:00:35,748 Speaker 1: Jamie Urdolf. You know your friends, Kyle Brand, your Schrager, 6 00:00:35,828 --> 00:00:38,308 Speaker 1: Jason mccordy. Back at the breakfast table. How was your 7 00:00:38,308 --> 00:00:40,148 Speaker 1: weekend in New England? It was good. I got to 8 00:00:40,148 --> 00:00:41,788 Speaker 1: hang out with my brother a little bit down there 9 00:00:41,788 --> 00:00:43,708 Speaker 1: in Foxbro. He's a little bit more upset than I did. 10 00:00:43,748 --> 00:00:45,548 Speaker 1: They lost the game. I just was calling this. I'm 11 00:00:45,548 --> 00:00:47,948 Speaker 1: not biased or anything like that. Then he came down 12 00:00:47,988 --> 00:00:49,708 Speaker 1: and spend a weekend at my house with all three 13 00:00:49,748 --> 00:00:52,708 Speaker 1: of his kids. It was a glorious weekend with six 14 00:00:52,788 --> 00:00:56,268 Speaker 1: kids running. You look exhausted. Peter Schrager also suggested that 15 00:00:56,268 --> 00:00:58,748 Speaker 1: we watched the Cults versus the Cowboys. Okay, let's go 16 00:00:59,988 --> 00:01:05,068 Speaker 1: all right, Cowboys. They lead the league in points per 17 00:01:05,068 --> 00:01:08,028 Speaker 1: game since Dak returned. Jack was back Jeff Saturday, hoping 18 00:01:08,028 --> 00:01:10,388 Speaker 1: he can still use those timeouts from last week fifty 19 00:01:10,508 --> 00:01:13,228 Speaker 1: four to nineteen. It was twenty one nineteen in the 20 00:01:13,268 --> 00:01:16,948 Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and then all things just started exploding. After 21 00:01:16,988 --> 00:01:20,628 Speaker 1: the game, Dak was asked if them boys are hitting 22 00:01:20,628 --> 00:01:23,748 Speaker 1: their stride. I definitely say the team's hitting the stride, 23 00:01:23,788 --> 00:01:26,308 Speaker 1: but I can't say it was the most complete. I mean, 24 00:01:26,348 --> 00:01:28,188 Speaker 1: I just think that was a fourth quarter explosion. The 25 00:01:28,188 --> 00:01:29,628 Speaker 1: thing you go back to a couple of weeks ago 26 00:01:29,868 --> 00:01:31,468 Speaker 1: on the road up in Minnesota, that that was a 27 00:01:31,508 --> 00:01:34,508 Speaker 1: complete game from from all three phases. Pass game, run game. 28 00:01:34,548 --> 00:01:36,948 Speaker 1: But tonight that defense did that. They gave us short 29 00:01:36,948 --> 00:01:39,188 Speaker 1: fields right there in the fourth quarter, great field position 30 00:01:39,428 --> 00:01:41,388 Speaker 1: and allowed us to put up some points late. But 31 00:01:41,548 --> 00:01:43,668 Speaker 1: that's also just the trust that we have and what 32 00:01:43,748 --> 00:01:45,708 Speaker 1: we have going and what we've built and just land 33 00:01:45,788 --> 00:01:47,868 Speaker 1: another brick that. Yeah, I mean, what was an eight 34 00:01:47,868 --> 00:01:50,228 Speaker 1: point nine point game and started the fourth or something 35 00:01:50,268 --> 00:01:52,228 Speaker 1: like that and then look up to the final score 36 00:01:52,268 --> 00:01:54,748 Speaker 1: like that. That just shows when we stay consistent, continue 37 00:01:54,788 --> 00:01:56,748 Speaker 1: to believe in each other, that that can happen at 38 00:01:56,748 --> 00:02:00,308 Speaker 1: any point in the game. Yeah, well believe this. The 39 00:02:00,348 --> 00:02:03,908 Speaker 1: Cowboys sit firmly in the top wild card spot as 40 00:02:03,908 --> 00:02:07,228 Speaker 1: we take at the NFC playoff picture come Monday morning. 41 00:02:07,348 --> 00:02:11,108 Speaker 1: That's the five seed. After completing Sunday Night football, They've 42 00:02:11,108 --> 00:02:13,188 Speaker 1: still got some ground to cover though, to catch up 43 00:02:13,708 --> 00:02:17,388 Speaker 1: with the Eagles in the East, but still feel so 44 00:02:17,588 --> 00:02:19,588 Speaker 1: to be a top the wildcard spot in the NFC. 45 00:02:19,908 --> 00:02:23,188 Speaker 1: Dominant performance by Dallas last night, specifically, if you finished 46 00:02:23,428 --> 00:02:25,668 Speaker 1: the game and stayed for the whole fourth quarter, which 47 00:02:25,708 --> 00:02:27,788 Speaker 1: you had to, because a little bit surprising to see 48 00:02:27,788 --> 00:02:30,628 Speaker 1: that it was twenty one nineteen entering the final frame, Jason, 49 00:02:30,668 --> 00:02:32,788 Speaker 1: Cowboys ran away with it, though, Yeah, they definitely ran 50 00:02:32,828 --> 00:02:34,468 Speaker 1: away when I think the main point you said as 51 00:02:34,508 --> 00:02:36,668 Speaker 1: you wake up this morning, if people didn't get a 52 00:02:36,708 --> 00:02:38,228 Speaker 1: chance to see the game, you're like, wow, well the 53 00:02:38,268 --> 00:02:40,588 Speaker 1: Cowboys just beat the heck out of the Colds, exactly 54 00:02:40,588 --> 00:02:42,948 Speaker 1: what we expected. But that's not the way that game went. 55 00:02:42,988 --> 00:02:45,628 Speaker 1: It was back and forth. Upon Gilmour has an interception, 56 00:02:45,828 --> 00:02:48,188 Speaker 1: then we see Alec Pierce making big catch up the 57 00:02:48,188 --> 00:02:49,988 Speaker 1: big catch, and next thing you know, the Colts are 58 00:02:49,988 --> 00:02:52,068 Speaker 1: in this thing. They fail on the two point conversion. 59 00:02:52,148 --> 00:02:54,548 Speaker 1: They're down nineteen to twenty one to start the fourth quarter, 60 00:02:54,588 --> 00:02:56,668 Speaker 1: and you're like, all right, Jeff Saturdays, here we have 61 00:02:56,708 --> 00:02:58,988 Speaker 1: a ball game on our hands. And then next thing 62 00:02:59,028 --> 00:03:02,388 Speaker 1: you know, the fourth quarter starts and the Cowboys respond. 63 00:03:02,428 --> 00:03:04,948 Speaker 1: They scored a touchdown with Michael Gallop and then just 64 00:03:05,188 --> 00:03:08,348 Speaker 1: all hell broke loose for the Indianapolis Colts on offense. 65 00:03:08,348 --> 00:03:11,508 Speaker 1: I have no idea what transpired just fourth quarter compared 66 00:03:11,548 --> 00:03:13,948 Speaker 1: to the first three where they're totally in the game 67 00:03:14,188 --> 00:03:17,348 Speaker 1: and the Cowboys defense just steps up. Duran Bland comes 68 00:03:17,428 --> 00:03:20,668 Speaker 1: up with two interceptions and just the fourth quarter just 69 00:03:20,828 --> 00:03:23,308 Speaker 1: taking the ball away from the Colts receiver. We talked 70 00:03:23,308 --> 00:03:26,708 Speaker 1: about Malik Hooker Darnall highlight the big game that he had, 71 00:03:26,788 --> 00:03:28,948 Speaker 1: and then Matt Ryan fumbles the ball and it's just like, well, 72 00:03:29,228 --> 00:03:31,668 Speaker 1: time to go to bed, turn off the TV. Cowboys 73 00:03:31,668 --> 00:03:33,988 Speaker 1: in our fun position in the NFC. But this was 74 00:03:34,028 --> 00:03:36,308 Speaker 1: a good game. The Colts were in it. But fourth 75 00:03:36,388 --> 00:03:38,948 Speaker 1: quarter where it's time to win the game, the witching 76 00:03:39,028 --> 00:03:43,148 Speaker 1: hour as Scott Hanson hour exactly, that's how you do it. 77 00:03:43,388 --> 00:03:46,948 Speaker 1: And the Cowboys ran away with it. Fifty four points. Unbelievable, 78 00:03:47,068 --> 00:03:49,148 Speaker 1: two running backs playing well, but they got it done 79 00:03:49,228 --> 00:03:50,628 Speaker 1: and the defense was a big part of it in 80 00:03:50,628 --> 00:03:52,828 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Yeah, and if you're flipping the pace, Okay, 81 00:03:52,908 --> 00:03:54,628 Speaker 1: now we've got this light ahead of us and the 82 00:03:54,628 --> 00:03:58,228 Speaker 1: Cowboys have this opportunity like they've got the Jaguars coming up. 83 00:03:58,388 --> 00:04:00,148 Speaker 1: They've got teams that they can get wins on, but 84 00:04:00,188 --> 00:04:01,988 Speaker 1: the NFC East is where this thing is gonna be won. 85 00:04:02,068 --> 00:04:03,988 Speaker 1: And I look at those two wide receivers who are 86 00:04:03,988 --> 00:04:07,348 Speaker 1: now try trying to get into that January space something. 87 00:04:07,788 --> 00:04:10,148 Speaker 1: Gallop and Lamb look as good as any due right now, 88 00:04:10,188 --> 00:04:12,628 Speaker 1: and as goes back to Thanksgiving, they both played solid 89 00:04:12,668 --> 00:04:15,748 Speaker 1: and then it looks like Ceedee Lamb is elevating his game. 90 00:04:15,748 --> 00:04:17,708 Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people expected Ceedee Lamb 91 00:04:17,748 --> 00:04:19,468 Speaker 1: to be at number one this season. Maybe wasn't the 92 00:04:19,468 --> 00:04:21,588 Speaker 1: first half of the season, especially with the quarterback change, 93 00:04:21,628 --> 00:04:23,708 Speaker 1: and then now it seems like he's putting some stuff 94 00:04:23,708 --> 00:04:27,188 Speaker 1: together and all that is just an appetizer for the 95 00:04:27,348 --> 00:04:31,988 Speaker 1: entree it really is. Today, Odell Beckham is coming to Dallas, 96 00:04:31,988 --> 00:04:34,148 Speaker 1: not necessarily to sign a phage and deal, but he's 97 00:04:34,188 --> 00:04:37,348 Speaker 1: coming to visit with the team, talk about his potential 98 00:04:37,348 --> 00:04:39,628 Speaker 1: of joining this squad for the stretch run. And you're 99 00:04:39,628 --> 00:04:41,908 Speaker 1: telling me Gallop is hitting his stride a year after 100 00:04:41,908 --> 00:04:43,988 Speaker 1: the injury. You're telling me Ceedee Lamb is kind of 101 00:04:43,988 --> 00:04:46,148 Speaker 1: elevating his game. And then you can add in Odell 102 00:04:46,188 --> 00:04:47,868 Speaker 1: who might not be great, right out of the gates. 103 00:04:48,108 --> 00:04:49,588 Speaker 1: But you give him a couple of days, a couple 104 00:04:49,588 --> 00:04:51,388 Speaker 1: of weeks, a couple of maybe even a month to 105 00:04:51,468 --> 00:04:54,548 Speaker 1: get going until the January football frame. Like, Cowboys offense 106 00:04:54,628 --> 00:04:56,308 Speaker 1: could be a team that you don't want to face. 107 00:04:56,348 --> 00:04:58,108 Speaker 1: So yes, fifty for to night. You look at that square. 108 00:04:58,108 --> 00:04:59,708 Speaker 1: It was a much closer game, sure, but the wide 109 00:04:59,708 --> 00:05:01,708 Speaker 1: receiver seem to be getting something going with Dak at 110 00:05:01,708 --> 00:05:03,748 Speaker 1: the right time. And you might add O'Dell into that mix. 111 00:05:03,828 --> 00:05:05,388 Speaker 1: I think that's a good thing, not a bad thing. Well, 112 00:05:05,388 --> 00:05:07,468 Speaker 1: it's like, I don't know if they need Odell, but 113 00:05:07,548 --> 00:05:09,988 Speaker 1: I don't know if the Rams last year it needed Odell. 114 00:05:10,028 --> 00:05:11,428 Speaker 1: But then they won the Super Bowl because they had 115 00:05:11,468 --> 00:05:13,828 Speaker 1: him thirty three points in the fourth quarter, thirty three 116 00:05:14,348 --> 00:05:16,508 Speaker 1: third time in NFL history that that's happened. The two 117 00:05:16,548 --> 00:05:19,108 Speaker 1: thousand and seven Lions did it, and then guys, the 118 00:05:19,188 --> 00:05:22,948 Speaker 1: nineteen twenty five Chicago Cardinals did it against the Milwaukee Badgers. 119 00:05:23,428 --> 00:05:27,388 Speaker 1: The Milwaukee Badgers and then the twenty twenty two Dallas Cowboys. 120 00:05:27,668 --> 00:05:30,908 Speaker 1: I'm gonna reference the words of the inimitable Clark Kellogg. 121 00:05:31,068 --> 00:05:34,228 Speaker 1: Clark Kellogg talks about basketball teams that have the ability 122 00:05:34,268 --> 00:05:37,308 Speaker 1: to score in rapid succession. He says, this team has 123 00:05:37,588 --> 00:05:40,908 Speaker 1: spurt abilities. Spurtability. Cowboys have it, and we're in the 124 00:05:40,908 --> 00:05:43,188 Speaker 1: sen we're him a close game. Yeah, it's a We're 125 00:05:43,268 --> 00:05:45,628 Speaker 1: up six in the fourth quarter of the game against 126 00:05:45,628 --> 00:05:47,508 Speaker 1: Michigan State or whoever, and then all of a sudden, 127 00:05:47,508 --> 00:05:49,908 Speaker 1: boom boom boom. There's threes, there's three point players, there's blocks, 128 00:05:49,908 --> 00:05:53,508 Speaker 1: there's turnovers. This was classic score and spurt And remind 129 00:05:53,548 --> 00:05:56,908 Speaker 1: you this team scored forty points against them. Vikings as well, 130 00:05:57,028 --> 00:05:59,588 Speaker 1: like it's very scary, it's very good. Do you trust 131 00:05:59,628 --> 00:06:03,068 Speaker 1: the Cowboys implicitly? No, of course not. But you liked 132 00:06:03,108 --> 00:06:05,548 Speaker 1: the offense, We're not. We didn't Parsons in the highlight. 133 00:06:05,588 --> 00:06:07,468 Speaker 1: They don't need him to have five strip sex for 134 00:06:07,548 --> 00:06:09,708 Speaker 1: him to win the game. The offense is really good. 135 00:06:09,948 --> 00:06:13,628 Speaker 1: Dak is feeling comfortable, he's confident. The outfits a little extra. 136 00:06:13,668 --> 00:06:15,548 Speaker 1: It's fine, but it shows me and he's ready. And 137 00:06:15,588 --> 00:06:17,348 Speaker 1: then if they add the Odell factor to it, and 138 00:06:17,388 --> 00:06:19,308 Speaker 1: they get like a one month sort of a period 139 00:06:19,348 --> 00:06:21,508 Speaker 1: to figure it out, a ramp up, and I have 140 00:06:21,548 --> 00:06:23,028 Speaker 1: to say, like, we're gonna get to this a lot. 141 00:06:23,108 --> 00:06:24,828 Speaker 1: I think the news out of San Francisco might be 142 00:06:24,948 --> 00:06:27,068 Speaker 1: very good for the Cowboys. I know that's callous and everything. 143 00:06:27,148 --> 00:06:29,148 Speaker 1: Jimmy G got hurt. The Cowboys might face the Niners 144 00:06:29,188 --> 00:06:30,668 Speaker 1: in the playoffs withou Jimmy G. I don't think the 145 00:06:30,708 --> 00:06:31,828 Speaker 1: Niners of the same team. I think it was a 146 00:06:31,908 --> 00:06:33,428 Speaker 1: very good day for the Cowboys. Just did a good 147 00:06:33,428 --> 00:06:35,508 Speaker 1: and bad I'm gonna hang in the Clark Kellogg space. 148 00:06:35,508 --> 00:06:38,068 Speaker 1: Please don't in the Ohio State Arena if you will. 149 00:06:38,228 --> 00:06:40,908 Speaker 1: While the Cowboys have spurt ability, I think they also 150 00:06:40,988 --> 00:06:43,428 Speaker 1: have runaway ability when they're two running the backs. Because 151 00:06:43,468 --> 00:06:46,628 Speaker 1: Ezeka Elliott didn't start yesterday for the first time in 152 00:06:46,668 --> 00:06:49,468 Speaker 1: his career, still a little bit confused as to why 153 00:06:49,508 --> 00:06:51,588 Speaker 1: there was a cell phone incident or maybe he was late, 154 00:06:51,668 --> 00:06:54,068 Speaker 1: But then also it was his idea. I don't really care. 155 00:06:54,308 --> 00:06:57,188 Speaker 1: The point is Tony Pollard started. Tony Pollard looked great, 156 00:06:57,228 --> 00:07:00,028 Speaker 1: as he has done. But furthermore, I continue to come 157 00:07:00,028 --> 00:07:02,348 Speaker 1: back to the fact that Elliott doesn't care if he 158 00:07:02,388 --> 00:07:05,508 Speaker 1: doesn't start. He's the one after the game complimenting Tony 159 00:07:05,548 --> 00:07:08,028 Speaker 1: Pollard for how great he looks. How much better the 160 00:07:08,068 --> 00:07:11,028 Speaker 1: Cowboys are when Paulard gets his touches and I love 161 00:07:11,108 --> 00:07:13,908 Speaker 1: this balance between the two. Elliott had more touches for 162 00:07:14,028 --> 00:07:17,068 Speaker 1: fewer yards, Pollard had lesser touches for more yards. And 163 00:07:17,148 --> 00:07:20,708 Speaker 1: again this aloofness to that running back room is the 164 00:07:20,788 --> 00:07:23,228 Speaker 1: kind of thing that a really good team, an Eagle 165 00:07:23,228 --> 00:07:25,708 Speaker 1: list team, can carry into January, which I think is 166 00:07:25,748 --> 00:07:29,468 Speaker 1: so important. So to have electric wide receivers, a really 167 00:07:29,508 --> 00:07:31,868 Speaker 1: sound quarterback, a defense that can just take your soul 168 00:07:31,908 --> 00:07:34,028 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and then a one two punch, 169 00:07:34,108 --> 00:07:38,028 Speaker 1: a sword and a sledge simmer getting back room, that's 170 00:07:38,068 --> 00:07:40,388 Speaker 1: a good team. Yeah. Zeke's game checks are huge, like 171 00:07:40,468 --> 00:07:43,308 Speaker 1: no matter if you start certain, but it bothers you less. Yeah, 172 00:07:43,308 --> 00:07:48,668 Speaker 1: when he's playing within his sure, I'm supposed to pretend 173 00:07:48,708 --> 00:07:50,068 Speaker 1: I saw everything. I didn't see this. What is this? 174 00:07:50,148 --> 00:07:52,948 Speaker 1: What happens? So Zeke didn't start Zeke Din's art, and 175 00:07:53,268 --> 00:07:55,788 Speaker 1: people were like, well, disciplinary is it not? And so 176 00:07:55,868 --> 00:07:58,708 Speaker 1: after the game, someone Jerry Jones I think, came out 177 00:07:58,708 --> 00:08:01,548 Speaker 1: and said it was a disciplinary but then Zeke said no, no, 178 00:08:01,628 --> 00:08:04,228 Speaker 1: it wasn't. It was. They just wanted to make a difference, 179 00:08:04,708 --> 00:08:07,468 Speaker 1: and then Paula started. But I don't think it matters. 180 00:08:07,588 --> 00:08:10,068 Speaker 1: I think the point is the balance running. I saw 181 00:08:10,068 --> 00:08:12,628 Speaker 1: everything the big start, the big who starts. I really 182 00:08:12,628 --> 00:08:15,348 Speaker 1: hate when that's like a streak or a thing, and 183 00:08:15,428 --> 00:08:17,348 Speaker 1: I'll check in the box. That was a nine and three. 184 00:08:18,828 --> 00:08:21,428 Speaker 1: It looks great to start the show with them. I 185 00:08:21,468 --> 00:08:23,148 Speaker 1: still think they should have stuck with Cooper Rush Peter. 186 00:08:23,188 --> 00:08:27,188 Speaker 1: I don't care. He was still goal started started all right, 187 00:08:27,628 --> 00:08:29,828 Speaker 1: Ian Rapports hanging around. Lets get the latest hour, Endical 188 00:08:29,828 --> 00:08:33,708 Speaker 1: Network Insider. This really really sucks, honestly. Quarterbacks got hurt 189 00:08:33,868 --> 00:08:37,828 Speaker 1: yesterday Week thirteen. Injuries a plenty, so run through them 190 00:08:37,868 --> 00:08:39,868 Speaker 1: in because we hate that. There's so many, but they 191 00:08:39,868 --> 00:08:42,988 Speaker 1: are important things to know, Yeah, really really significant one 192 00:08:43,068 --> 00:08:45,668 Speaker 1: right off the bat. Jimmy Garoppolo, the starting quarterback for 193 00:08:45,708 --> 00:08:47,948 Speaker 1: the forty nine is who has who has led them 194 00:08:47,988 --> 00:08:49,908 Speaker 1: to be one of the hottest teams in the NFL, 195 00:08:50,228 --> 00:08:53,268 Speaker 1: is out for this season with a broken foot. According 196 00:08:53,268 --> 00:08:55,668 Speaker 1: to coach Kyle Shannon, he had a couple of different 197 00:08:55,708 --> 00:08:57,788 Speaker 1: breaks in his foot. He's going to have an MRI 198 00:08:57,988 --> 00:09:01,388 Speaker 1: and other tests today just to determine what damages there. 199 00:09:01,588 --> 00:09:05,028 Speaker 1: He is expected to have surgery again. It is expected 200 00:09:05,068 --> 00:09:08,188 Speaker 1: to end the season head into a very murky offseason 201 00:09:08,228 --> 00:09:10,588 Speaker 1: for Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco forty nine ers. 202 00:09:10,588 --> 00:09:12,988 Speaker 1: What we know right now for this season is that 203 00:09:13,068 --> 00:09:15,748 Speaker 1: Brock Purdy, the former Mister Relevant, is going to be 204 00:09:15,788 --> 00:09:19,268 Speaker 1: their starting quarterback. Acquitted himself quite well yesterday. We will 205 00:09:19,268 --> 00:09:22,708 Speaker 1: see going forward what that looks like. Different situation for 206 00:09:22,748 --> 00:09:26,148 Speaker 1: Tuatakavallo with the Miami Dolphins starting quarterback. He did not 207 00:09:26,308 --> 00:09:29,388 Speaker 1: finish the game. He's dealing with an ankle injury. Was 208 00:09:29,508 --> 00:09:32,068 Speaker 1: ruled out pretty late in the game. Seemed like though 209 00:09:32,268 --> 00:09:34,268 Speaker 1: he probably could have been able to come back had 210 00:09:34,308 --> 00:09:36,388 Speaker 1: this score have been a lot closer. They've been listening 211 00:09:36,428 --> 00:09:39,548 Speaker 1: on the injury report a couple different times. I'd say 212 00:09:39,628 --> 00:09:43,428 Speaker 1: like a nagging ankle injury. This seems to be somewhat related. 213 00:09:43,468 --> 00:09:46,068 Speaker 1: I would expect Tua to be fine, and then a 214 00:09:46,108 --> 00:09:49,748 Speaker 1: waiting ce situation for Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens starter. 215 00:09:50,028 --> 00:09:53,188 Speaker 1: My understanding, he's dealing with a knee sprain. He was 216 00:09:53,268 --> 00:09:56,948 Speaker 1: quickly ruled out yesterday, coach John Harbaugh saying after the game, 217 00:09:56,988 --> 00:09:59,948 Speaker 1: it's not a season ending situation. That is good. Lamar 218 00:10:00,028 --> 00:10:02,388 Speaker 1: Jackson gonna have more tests today. The more of a 219 00:10:02,668 --> 00:10:06,308 Speaker 1: days or week's type injuries, certainly missing time would be 220 00:10:06,348 --> 00:10:09,588 Speaker 1: on the table for Lamar Jackson. Tyler Huntley is the 221 00:10:09,628 --> 00:10:12,028 Speaker 1: backup in BALTI thank you, even talk to you a 222 00:10:12,068 --> 00:10:15,188 Speaker 1: little bit more. Vikings her cousins coming off of a 223 00:10:15,228 --> 00:10:19,748 Speaker 1: massive Thanksgiving Day victory. Mike White cannot believe it. Vikings 224 00:10:19,748 --> 00:10:22,308 Speaker 1: win this one. Twenty seven, twenty two. Vikings finally different 225 00:10:22,308 --> 00:10:24,468 Speaker 1: ways to win all over the place. All right, let's 226 00:10:24,508 --> 00:10:26,348 Speaker 1: go to Loss of Nation about it. Radis one three 227 00:10:26,388 --> 00:10:28,828 Speaker 1: in a row. I'm just saying, just saying. They play 228 00:10:28,908 --> 00:10:31,588 Speaker 1: the Zombie Rams this week on Thursday Night. They'll probably 229 00:10:31,628 --> 00:10:35,468 Speaker 1: win four in a row, five and seven. The Rading Chargers. 230 00:10:35,908 --> 00:10:38,308 Speaker 1: Give me something, the Chargers, Peter, I'm sorry. You gotta 231 00:10:38,308 --> 00:10:39,908 Speaker 1: stay in the AFC West because if there's a team 232 00:10:39,908 --> 00:10:42,628 Speaker 1: that's more disappointing, they were on the field one here. 233 00:10:42,628 --> 00:10:45,628 Speaker 1: It is early on Ravens Lamar Jackson and he goes 234 00:10:45,668 --> 00:10:48,068 Speaker 1: down with an injury. Jonathan Cooper gets a sack and 235 00:10:48,668 --> 00:10:50,868 Speaker 1: this is scary for Ravens fans and Lamar and limps 236 00:10:50,908 --> 00:10:54,308 Speaker 1: into the hallway. Would not return niiha diagnosis the screen 237 00:10:54,468 --> 00:10:59,188 Speaker 1: mee Ravens. They escaped ten to nine with a victory. 238 00:10:59,348 --> 00:11:02,348 Speaker 1: Stay at top the ac say the top let's get 239 00:11:02,388 --> 00:11:04,348 Speaker 1: to the Chiefs of Bengals. That was the game everybody 240 00:11:04,588 --> 00:11:07,908 Speaker 1: wanted to see. Patrick Mahomes has not beaten Joe Burrow. 241 00:11:08,268 --> 00:11:11,588 Speaker 1: Would today be the day? Twenty seven to twenty four, 242 00:11:11,948 --> 00:11:15,668 Speaker 1: Joe balls saying, yes, this is my field. I continue 243 00:11:15,708 --> 00:11:21,108 Speaker 1: to own Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs haven't beat them yet. 244 00:11:21,148 --> 00:11:22,988 Speaker 1: They haven't beat them. They beating him in the game 245 00:11:23,028 --> 00:11:25,108 Speaker 1: to go to the Super Bowl, goes in the ones 246 00:11:25,108 --> 00:11:28,148 Speaker 1: that count. Bangs will win twenty seven to twenty four, 247 00:11:28,348 --> 00:11:31,068 Speaker 1: and our own Cameron will have caught up with Jamar 248 00:11:31,148 --> 00:11:33,588 Speaker 1: Chase after the game. This was a big one. They 249 00:11:33,588 --> 00:11:35,788 Speaker 1: were talking a lot this week. You were talking a 250 00:11:35,788 --> 00:11:38,548 Speaker 1: little bit extra joy to kind of rub this one 251 00:11:38,788 --> 00:11:40,868 Speaker 1: their way, you know, extra Joey. We're just saying, tune 252 00:11:40,908 --> 00:11:42,268 Speaker 1: in the can in the locker room. That's how we're 253 00:11:42,268 --> 00:11:44,108 Speaker 1: talking about right now. This team, you guys will beat 254 00:11:44,228 --> 00:11:46,948 Speaker 1: three times in the last twelve months. What statement do 255 00:11:46,988 --> 00:11:49,268 Speaker 1: you think you're making to the league. We're just showing 256 00:11:49,308 --> 00:11:50,988 Speaker 1: the world that you know, Cincinnati's here. You know, we 257 00:11:51,068 --> 00:11:53,068 Speaker 1: found a team and we hit a stay. So now 258 00:11:53,108 --> 00:11:54,988 Speaker 1: it's trying to compete, get to the next level, win 259 00:11:55,028 --> 00:11:56,508 Speaker 1: the playoffs and get off of back in the door. 260 00:11:56,588 --> 00:12:00,748 Speaker 1: We were last year still drawing a blank on the 261 00:12:00,788 --> 00:12:02,708 Speaker 1: tuna in the can reference here on Good Morning Football. 262 00:12:02,708 --> 00:12:04,028 Speaker 1: If you want to send us a tweet about it, 263 00:12:04,068 --> 00:12:06,068 Speaker 1: we love of some further explanation. I'm a little bit 264 00:12:06,108 --> 00:12:07,588 Speaker 1: scared to know, but I really want to know. Here's 265 00:12:07,588 --> 00:12:09,348 Speaker 1: a look at the FC playoff pictures. The Chiefs are 266 00:12:09,348 --> 00:12:11,628 Speaker 1: now the two seed. It was just absolutely put the 267 00:12:11,748 --> 00:12:14,988 Speaker 1: act in a martini shaker, shake it up, and here's 268 00:12:14,988 --> 00:12:16,908 Speaker 1: what you got. Because now the Bills are back on top. 269 00:12:17,308 --> 00:12:21,188 Speaker 1: Cincinnati's in the five seed with an eight and four record, 270 00:12:21,668 --> 00:12:24,468 Speaker 1: so en we take away from that Bengals third straight 271 00:12:24,508 --> 00:12:28,428 Speaker 1: win over the Chiefs yesterday heat apparently not ownership just yet. 272 00:12:28,428 --> 00:12:30,428 Speaker 1: According to Peter Scheger, well I put a tweet ey 273 00:12:30,508 --> 00:12:32,228 Speaker 1: yesterday and say, this is one of my favorite rivalries 274 00:12:32,268 --> 00:12:35,468 Speaker 1: in sports, and ninety nine percent of the tweets back 275 00:12:35,508 --> 00:12:37,308 Speaker 1: where this is not a rivalry and what's so one 276 00:12:37,348 --> 00:12:39,828 Speaker 1: side is it wrong? And guess what? Fifty percent of 277 00:12:39,828 --> 00:12:41,788 Speaker 1: those tweets came from cheese fans too. I think a 278 00:12:41,828 --> 00:12:45,028 Speaker 1: lot of people are saying, hey, hand up whatever it is. 279 00:12:45,388 --> 00:12:49,028 Speaker 1: This dude is the dude when they go and play 280 00:12:49,068 --> 00:12:51,948 Speaker 1: each other. And yesterday I watched a lot of football. 281 00:12:52,428 --> 00:12:55,028 Speaker 1: This guy went twenty five or thirty one through for 282 00:12:55,068 --> 00:12:58,268 Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty six yards, every big third down, 283 00:12:58,868 --> 00:13:02,508 Speaker 1: every big moment. There was no better person throwing a 284 00:13:02,548 --> 00:13:05,548 Speaker 1: football yesterday in the entire national ball legg and Joe Burrow. 285 00:13:05,828 --> 00:13:08,108 Speaker 1: He was the best player in the sport yesterday. And 286 00:13:08,228 --> 00:13:12,108 Speaker 1: he is so so unflappable. He is so cool. Even 287 00:13:12,148 --> 00:13:14,588 Speaker 1: when they fall behind. Pacheco gets a touchdown, You're like, 288 00:13:14,588 --> 00:13:17,388 Speaker 1: all right, here come the Chiefs. Burrow just stands there 289 00:13:17,428 --> 00:13:19,068 Speaker 1: in the saddle and says, I'm gonna get it to 290 00:13:19,108 --> 00:13:21,348 Speaker 1: my guys. This was was out Joe Mixon. Joe Mixon 291 00:13:21,388 --> 00:13:23,988 Speaker 1: didn't plays and the concussion protocol still and could not go. 292 00:13:24,068 --> 00:13:27,108 Speaker 1: I was like, all right, that certainly is a major blow. No, 293 00:13:27,108 --> 00:13:29,948 Speaker 1: Samasha p Ryan steps up and Burrow in every big 294 00:13:29,988 --> 00:13:33,388 Speaker 1: moment makes it happen. I think this is last year 295 00:13:33,428 --> 00:13:36,228 Speaker 1: they played in Cincinnati, the Chiefs and the Bengals, and 296 00:13:36,268 --> 00:13:38,468 Speaker 1: the Bengals won, and that cost the Chiefs home field. 297 00:13:38,468 --> 00:13:41,068 Speaker 1: Throughout the playoffs, it became the Titans was the number 298 00:13:41,108 --> 00:13:43,668 Speaker 1: one seed because of the lost last night the Chiefs. 299 00:13:43,828 --> 00:13:45,668 Speaker 1: The ride and high they can't be beaten. They lose. 300 00:13:45,828 --> 00:13:47,708 Speaker 1: The Bills have the number one seed right now, and 301 00:13:47,748 --> 00:13:50,388 Speaker 1: the Bills now control their destiny for the home for 302 00:13:50,468 --> 00:13:53,108 Speaker 1: whatever reason, and maybe that it's just Burrows the better 303 00:13:53,148 --> 00:13:55,668 Speaker 1: quarterback when they play and the home is amazing. Yesterday, 304 00:13:55,868 --> 00:14:00,988 Speaker 1: the Bengals seem to have a giant mental and physical 305 00:14:01,148 --> 00:14:03,788 Speaker 1: edge over the Kansas City Chiefs. It's not an anomaly. 306 00:14:03,828 --> 00:14:06,228 Speaker 1: When it's three times, it might be two times, but 307 00:14:06,268 --> 00:14:08,588 Speaker 1: when it's three times, it's real. And I think the 308 00:14:08,628 --> 00:14:11,068 Speaker 1: Bengals might have the best quarterback in football going into 309 00:14:11,148 --> 00:14:13,188 Speaker 1: next week. This guy is dialed in and he gets 310 00:14:13,188 --> 00:14:15,828 Speaker 1: another weapon back when Mixon finally returns. Yeah, he's playing 311 00:14:15,908 --> 00:14:17,748 Speaker 1: really well. And I think the main part of what 312 00:14:17,828 --> 00:14:20,308 Speaker 1: you said is that fourth quarter they missed the field goal. 313 00:14:20,348 --> 00:14:22,148 Speaker 1: Chiefs missed the field goal and the Bengals get the 314 00:14:22,148 --> 00:14:24,148 Speaker 1: ball back, and it was like third down conversion after 315 00:14:24,228 --> 00:14:26,868 Speaker 1: third down conversion when they needed it most. But then 316 00:14:27,268 --> 00:14:29,188 Speaker 1: not the Chiefs not being able to beat the Bengals. 317 00:14:29,188 --> 00:14:30,628 Speaker 1: A lot of that has to do with the Bengals 318 00:14:30,668 --> 00:14:33,388 Speaker 1: defense and what they're able to do to Patrick Mahomes 319 00:14:33,388 --> 00:14:36,148 Speaker 1: in that offense. And we watch Jermaine Pratt was just 320 00:14:36,468 --> 00:14:39,268 Speaker 1: yanked the ball from Travis Kelsey, and then we looked 321 00:14:39,268 --> 00:14:41,788 Speaker 1: at the amount of pressure that Patrick Mahomes is on. 322 00:14:41,828 --> 00:14:45,468 Speaker 1: He was hit eight times, sacked twice yesterday. That they 323 00:14:45,548 --> 00:14:48,548 Speaker 1: make this Chief's offense look different. It's just like we're 324 00:14:48,588 --> 00:14:50,668 Speaker 1: watching the game and the Chiefs coming, Like you said, 325 00:14:51,308 --> 00:14:53,788 Speaker 1: they scored a touchdown. He're just all right, here they come, 326 00:14:53,868 --> 00:14:55,948 Speaker 1: and it's just the Bengals defense is like, no, they're 327 00:14:55,948 --> 00:14:58,588 Speaker 1: not coming. We're used to being in this position. We 328 00:14:58,708 --> 00:15:00,828 Speaker 1: have no fear down the stretch, and we're gonna make 329 00:15:00,828 --> 00:15:03,508 Speaker 1: the plays to win the game. And three straight times 330 00:15:03,788 --> 00:15:06,708 Speaker 1: they have done that. They figured out the formula and 331 00:15:06,788 --> 00:15:09,228 Speaker 1: the way to defeat these Chiefs. Even when they drop 332 00:15:09,348 --> 00:15:11,668 Speaker 1: by everybody in coverage, there's a three man rush, they're 333 00:15:11,668 --> 00:15:14,788 Speaker 1: still able to get pressure on Patrick Mahomes and force 334 00:15:14,868 --> 00:15:17,188 Speaker 1: them to make decisions and do things that they're not 335 00:15:17,188 --> 00:15:19,628 Speaker 1: comfortable with. I just that's what I was most impressed 336 00:15:19,628 --> 00:15:22,348 Speaker 1: by their ability to make the plays down the stretch, 337 00:15:22,428 --> 00:15:24,908 Speaker 1: taking the ball from Kelsey and then Osai getting that 338 00:15:24,988 --> 00:15:27,308 Speaker 1: sat not allowing them to put points on the board 339 00:15:27,388 --> 00:15:29,948 Speaker 1: late there in the fourth quarter. Every single time the 340 00:15:30,028 --> 00:15:32,308 Speaker 1: Chiefs are down in the fourth quarter, they find a 341 00:15:32,308 --> 00:15:35,708 Speaker 1: way Chargers gave it. Why the Bank? Why do the 342 00:15:35,708 --> 00:15:37,428 Speaker 1: Bengals now three times they shut the door? They beat 343 00:15:37,428 --> 00:15:39,868 Speaker 1: them by own score. Why this Bengals defense and the 344 00:15:39,988 --> 00:15:42,548 Speaker 1: confidence they have laid down the stretch. We watch Von 345 00:15:42,628 --> 00:15:44,988 Speaker 1: Bell last year making an interception to seal the game. 346 00:15:45,068 --> 00:15:47,428 Speaker 1: I feel like when you're watching this Chiefs offense and 347 00:15:47,428 --> 00:15:49,748 Speaker 1: you're out there going against them all defense, it's just 348 00:15:49,788 --> 00:15:52,268 Speaker 1: like I remember playing against them. You're sitting on the sidlinine. Man, 349 00:15:52,308 --> 00:15:55,108 Speaker 1: we gave Mahomes too much time. This Bengals defense is 350 00:15:55,148 --> 00:15:57,228 Speaker 1: just like no, like we're not flinching, like we're going 351 00:15:57,268 --> 00:15:58,908 Speaker 1: out there. We're just going to continue to do it 352 00:15:58,908 --> 00:16:01,188 Speaker 1: again and do it again. And now for them, they 353 00:16:01,268 --> 00:16:04,388 Speaker 1: have all the confidence going into that two minute situation. 354 00:16:04,428 --> 00:16:06,228 Speaker 1: And whatever the case is, the Chiefs are the one's 355 00:16:06,268 --> 00:16:08,148 Speaker 1: wondering can we get it done? You use the word 356 00:16:08,228 --> 00:16:11,508 Speaker 1: jay uncomfortable. The Chiefs look uncomfortable against the Banks. They 357 00:16:11,508 --> 00:16:15,388 Speaker 1: never look uncomfortable. No one's cooler than Mahomes, not Lamar, 358 00:16:15,788 --> 00:16:17,948 Speaker 1: not Josh and the players, none of those guys, Burrows 359 00:16:17,988 --> 00:16:20,068 Speaker 1: cooler than Mahomes. Because it's not just that they've won 360 00:16:20,068 --> 00:16:23,348 Speaker 1: three in a row. All three have been by three points. 361 00:16:23,668 --> 00:16:25,588 Speaker 1: Means there anybody's game at the end of the game. 362 00:16:25,628 --> 00:16:28,348 Speaker 1: But we take it in fact, yesterday's score was the 363 00:16:28,388 --> 00:16:30,708 Speaker 1: same score as the playoff. Gumbe it is like the 364 00:16:30,788 --> 00:16:33,988 Speaker 1: same game. Kelsey fumbling, Kelsey doesn't make that play. That's 365 00:16:33,988 --> 00:16:35,868 Speaker 1: not a Kelsey play. I mean, it's fine, the great 366 00:16:35,868 --> 00:16:38,188 Speaker 1: play by the defense. But you don't see Travis Kelsey 367 00:16:38,188 --> 00:16:41,268 Speaker 1: on the sideline pissed off some Mahomes spiking his helmet 368 00:16:41,268 --> 00:16:43,908 Speaker 1: on the side. That's not a Mahomes thing. That doesn't happen. 369 00:16:44,028 --> 00:16:47,628 Speaker 1: Because here's the facts. Back to November of last season. November, 370 00:16:47,948 --> 00:16:51,148 Speaker 1: the Chiefs are twenty and two against the NFL and 371 00:16:51,308 --> 00:16:54,388 Speaker 1: oh and three against the Bengals. That's a problem. That 372 00:16:54,508 --> 00:16:56,588 Speaker 1: is not an anomaly. And you don't have this thing 373 00:16:56,868 --> 00:16:59,188 Speaker 1: as Kansas City that you have over Buffalo where haha, 374 00:16:59,268 --> 00:17:00,908 Speaker 1: Q you beat us in regular season, we'll see you 375 00:17:00,948 --> 00:17:02,708 Speaker 1: in January. You know what times No, they saw the 376 00:17:02,708 --> 00:17:04,948 Speaker 1: Bengals in January. They lost to them. Then who It 377 00:17:05,028 --> 00:17:07,228 Speaker 1: is a real nemesis. It is a real enemy for 378 00:17:07,228 --> 00:17:09,148 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. We've been waiting five years for them to 379 00:17:09,148 --> 00:17:12,428 Speaker 1: have somebody who's like they're magic and Bird or they 380 00:17:12,428 --> 00:17:14,428 Speaker 1: have it. In fact, they don't have it because it's 381 00:17:14,428 --> 00:17:16,508 Speaker 1: not a rivalry. Yet they dominate them every single time. 382 00:17:16,588 --> 00:17:18,548 Speaker 1: Twenty and two against the league, all and three against 383 00:17:18,588 --> 00:17:20,708 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. It's a problem. It's a real thing coming 384 00:17:20,788 --> 00:17:23,948 Speaker 1: up though. The Niners defense that is really good. Are 385 00:17:23,988 --> 00:17:25,948 Speaker 1: they one of the greatest defenses of all time? They 386 00:17:25,948 --> 00:17:27,028 Speaker 1: may have to be if they want to win the 387 00:17:27,028 --> 00:17:28,788 Speaker 1: Super Bowl this year. Guys, this is the news of 388 00:17:28,828 --> 00:17:30,428 Speaker 1: the day. This is the news of the week. A 389 00:17:30,548 --> 00:17:33,868 Speaker 1: Super Bowl contender is now being quarterbacked by mister irrelevant. 390 00:17:33,908 --> 00:17:36,108 Speaker 1: Jimmy g goes down Ian rapport is all the news 391 00:17:36,148 --> 00:17:37,788 Speaker 1: and we'll talk about it right after this news of 392 00:17:37,868 --> 00:17:52,268 Speaker 1: the week. Right now, welcome back to Good morning football. 393 00:17:52,348 --> 00:17:54,868 Speaker 1: Let's get to some football. The Eagles taking all the 394 00:17:54,948 --> 00:17:57,828 Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. A J. Brown give them Mike rabel a 395 00:17:57,948 --> 00:18:00,908 Speaker 1: hug after being traded away from the tight ends. A J. 396 00:18:01,068 --> 00:18:03,868 Speaker 1: Brown said after the game, he gave the gold postal spanking. 397 00:18:03,948 --> 00:18:06,068 Speaker 1: But then I love you, but I gotta give you 398 00:18:06,108 --> 00:18:09,948 Speaker 1: this whooping. Eagles went thirty five to tango Titans. Yeah, 399 00:18:10,028 --> 00:18:12,268 Speaker 1: Taylor Heineck, big question come out of this game that 400 00:18:12,308 --> 00:18:13,828 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pose at the end of this whole team 401 00:18:13,868 --> 00:18:17,628 Speaker 1: would end in a tie. Does Taylor heneck get blue 402 00:18:17,868 --> 00:18:23,628 Speaker 1: Jordan's if it's sure? The American new Bye Stobb. If 403 00:18:23,628 --> 00:18:26,348 Speaker 1: you heard this one, kids, justin Fields is gonna make 404 00:18:26,348 --> 00:18:28,068 Speaker 1: some amazing players and the Bears are gonna lose. You 405 00:18:28,068 --> 00:18:30,668 Speaker 1: won't believe it. Yes, Packers winning. Lamba That is Lambo 406 00:18:31,108 --> 00:18:33,348 Speaker 1: all right, out of serious to Jimmy Leans, he got 407 00:18:33,348 --> 00:18:35,628 Speaker 1: a broken left foot. The forty Niners players learned about 408 00:18:35,628 --> 00:18:37,228 Speaker 1: it at halftime when they walked by him in the 409 00:18:37,268 --> 00:18:41,228 Speaker 1: meantime end of the first half. Rock Purty, mister irrelevant, 410 00:18:41,308 --> 00:18:43,668 Speaker 1: last pick of the entire draft last year, is now 411 00:18:43,708 --> 00:18:46,748 Speaker 1: playing quarterback and he's down it up Purty all right, 412 00:18:47,028 --> 00:18:50,228 Speaker 1: so too. A lot of MVP talk, a lot of 413 00:18:50,308 --> 00:18:52,228 Speaker 1: Dolphins are the team to be in the AFC talk. 414 00:18:53,668 --> 00:18:56,748 Speaker 1: Forty nine Ers blow out the Dolphins, But the real 415 00:18:56,788 --> 00:18:59,868 Speaker 1: story was the quarterback puisition and Jamie take it away. Yeah, well, 416 00:18:59,868 --> 00:19:02,508 Speaker 1: we're gonna let Ian take it away. The work insider, 417 00:19:02,548 --> 00:19:05,588 Speaker 1: who of course has all the quarterbacks injury, is covered today. 418 00:19:05,708 --> 00:19:08,348 Speaker 1: But the story coming out of that game, specifically Jimmy 419 00:19:08,388 --> 00:19:11,188 Speaker 1: Garoppolo and his availability the rest of the season, which 420 00:19:11,228 --> 00:19:14,228 Speaker 1: sounds bleak in yeah, pretty bleak for Jimmy Garoppolo. Just 421 00:19:14,268 --> 00:19:17,108 Speaker 1: quickly to talk aboos. Suffered an ankle injury in that game, 422 00:19:17,468 --> 00:19:19,748 Speaker 1: believed to be minor, probably could have come back. He 423 00:19:19,828 --> 00:19:23,428 Speaker 1: should be okay for next week. Far different situation as you, 424 00:19:23,428 --> 00:19:27,668 Speaker 1: guys mention for Jimmy Garoppolo now has suffered a broken foot, 425 00:19:27,668 --> 00:19:30,428 Speaker 1: broken in a couple of places. According to coach Kyle Shannon, 426 00:19:30,828 --> 00:19:33,268 Speaker 1: he is out for the season. He is headed for 427 00:19:33,348 --> 00:19:37,268 Speaker 1: surgery to repair and stabilize that foot, which means Brock Purty, 428 00:19:37,508 --> 00:19:40,908 Speaker 1: the former mister Relevant who really actually played pretty well, 429 00:19:41,028 --> 00:19:43,268 Speaker 1: he now is the starting quarterback. They also signed Josh 430 00:19:43,348 --> 00:19:47,108 Speaker 1: Johnson off the Denver Broncos practice squad deservers their backup 431 00:19:47,148 --> 00:19:49,948 Speaker 1: maybe the sixty fifth team. I believe that Josh Johnson 432 00:19:49,988 --> 00:19:52,588 Speaker 1: has been on But the story here, guys, Jimmy Garoppolo 433 00:19:52,708 --> 00:19:56,188 Speaker 1: out for the season, heads into an off season of uncertainty. 434 00:19:56,428 --> 00:19:58,868 Speaker 1: Em will watch the team that he helped lead go 435 00:19:58,908 --> 00:20:01,668 Speaker 1: on without him. Unfortunately, that's a story that Jimmy Garoppolo 436 00:20:01,748 --> 00:20:04,108 Speaker 1: knows all two well. As an off season of uncertainty 437 00:20:04,508 --> 00:20:08,028 Speaker 1: as a forty Niners quarterback or backup potential Ian rapport. 438 00:20:08,028 --> 00:20:09,308 Speaker 1: Thank you very much. We'll talk to you in a 439 00:20:09,308 --> 00:20:11,988 Speaker 1: little bit, all right, guys, Jimmy Garppolo, that was so 440 00:20:12,068 --> 00:20:14,068 Speaker 1: hard to see him carted off for the forty nine Ers, 441 00:20:14,108 --> 00:20:15,668 Speaker 1: but they pulled out a win against the Dolphins. It 442 00:20:15,708 --> 00:20:18,468 Speaker 1: was a game that we really thought offensively, and I 443 00:20:18,468 --> 00:20:21,428 Speaker 1: mean every seven of all these teams were playing incredibly well, 444 00:20:21,548 --> 00:20:24,108 Speaker 1: and the forty nine Ers pulled one out yesterday without 445 00:20:24,188 --> 00:20:26,148 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. How do they move forward now, Well, they 446 00:20:26,148 --> 00:20:29,228 Speaker 1: move forward by leaning on their defense. Look, this is sad, 447 00:20:29,268 --> 00:20:31,148 Speaker 1: and he said, you know, Jimmy knows about adversity. From 448 00:20:31,188 --> 00:20:34,308 Speaker 1: this offseason, Jimmy was waiting for his time in New England, 449 00:20:34,388 --> 00:20:37,268 Speaker 1: never got that opportunity, gets traded to San Francisco, tears 450 00:20:37,308 --> 00:20:39,668 Speaker 1: his knee, it's the opportunity again, and gets hurt again 451 00:20:39,748 --> 00:20:42,148 Speaker 1: and misses that seem like Jimmy Garoppolo has been through 452 00:20:42,188 --> 00:20:44,108 Speaker 1: so much. I feel for him. But this forty nine 453 00:20:44,148 --> 00:20:46,948 Speaker 1: Ers team never was gonna be one on Jimmy's arm. 454 00:20:46,948 --> 00:20:49,708 Speaker 1: It was gonna be one on Jimmy's leadership and Jimmy's experience. Now, 455 00:20:49,908 --> 00:20:51,748 Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon, like we saw how they're gonna have to 456 00:20:51,788 --> 00:20:53,668 Speaker 1: win these games, and that's being led by their defense. 457 00:20:53,748 --> 00:20:56,548 Speaker 1: And their defense was fantastic yesterday. They found a way 458 00:20:56,588 --> 00:20:58,468 Speaker 1: to make two a look like he didn't belong on 459 00:20:58,508 --> 00:21:00,508 Speaker 1: this same field as their number one defense. So as 460 00:21:00,508 --> 00:21:02,068 Speaker 1: you move forward, you've got to look at de Mico 461 00:21:02,188 --> 00:21:03,868 Speaker 1: Ryans and what his unit's gonna do and say, you 462 00:21:03,948 --> 00:21:05,428 Speaker 1: guys are the ones who are going to lead us, 463 00:21:05,628 --> 00:21:09,748 Speaker 1: not necessarily our quarterback, not necessarily our high flying passing offense. 464 00:21:09,748 --> 00:21:12,748 Speaker 1: And you're gonna say to the defense, like Kyle shanahaned 465 00:21:12,788 --> 00:21:14,748 Speaker 1: the night before, I need more ideas. So the story 466 00:21:14,748 --> 00:21:17,428 Speaker 1: that I got was Shanahan the night before said to 467 00:21:17,468 --> 00:21:19,828 Speaker 1: the defensive line that the linebackers are out playing you guys. 468 00:21:19,868 --> 00:21:21,908 Speaker 1: And he said it almost kiddingly, but said, hey, after 469 00:21:21,948 --> 00:21:24,588 Speaker 1: our shutout win against the Saints, the linebackers are outplaying you. 470 00:21:24,708 --> 00:21:27,308 Speaker 1: Nick Bosa didn't think that lightly, said he actually didn't 471 00:21:27,308 --> 00:21:29,228 Speaker 1: like it. The defensive line came out there and they 472 00:21:29,268 --> 00:21:31,988 Speaker 1: absolutely suffocated to us. So I feel really bad for 473 00:21:32,068 --> 00:21:34,748 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo this morning. I don't think this ends the 474 00:21:34,828 --> 00:21:37,868 Speaker 1: Niners season. I think they've got a really good defense. 475 00:21:38,268 --> 00:21:40,828 Speaker 1: Well look yesterday, if you would have told him before 476 00:21:40,828 --> 00:21:42,548 Speaker 1: the game. The Dolphins are going to score on the 477 00:21:42,588 --> 00:21:45,068 Speaker 1: first play from scrimmage. It's gonna be a rocket touchdown 478 00:21:45,068 --> 00:21:47,188 Speaker 1: down the sideline, and you're gonna lose. Jimmy, you figure 479 00:21:47,228 --> 00:21:48,828 Speaker 1: the Niners are gonna lose by twenty points. No, they 480 00:21:48,908 --> 00:21:52,468 Speaker 1: won by sixteen. They're that strong. There's such a fairy 481 00:21:52,468 --> 00:21:55,308 Speaker 1: tale being crafted right here though about like it's so 482 00:21:55,628 --> 00:21:58,148 Speaker 1: as all the ingredients. It's this team that's been there 483 00:21:58,188 --> 00:22:00,788 Speaker 1: and lost. The mister Irrelevant thing is so cute and 484 00:22:00,828 --> 00:22:02,428 Speaker 1: so perfect, and it's going to be run with and 485 00:22:02,428 --> 00:22:04,708 Speaker 1: it's it's like a Disney movie Hockey mom President like 486 00:22:04,788 --> 00:22:08,108 Speaker 1: mister Irrelevant. Super Bowl MVP is a devastating day yesterday. 487 00:22:08,148 --> 00:22:09,948 Speaker 1: This season is not over, but this is a massive, 488 00:22:10,348 --> 00:22:12,468 Speaker 1: massive gut punch. I think it was a great day 489 00:22:12,468 --> 00:22:13,788 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys and it was a great day for 490 00:22:13,788 --> 00:22:15,228 Speaker 1: the Vikings. I think it was a great day for 491 00:22:15,268 --> 00:22:17,988 Speaker 1: the Eagles. Jimmy G's not gonna throw four hundred yards 492 00:22:17,988 --> 00:22:19,908 Speaker 1: in the NFC title Game, but he's gonna make four 493 00:22:19,988 --> 00:22:22,988 Speaker 1: or five massive throws based on experience, and I don't 494 00:22:23,028 --> 00:22:25,388 Speaker 1: know if Brock Purty it can do that or now 495 00:22:25,428 --> 00:22:27,348 Speaker 1: we're gonna spend the week talking about brock Purty. Hopefully 496 00:22:27,348 --> 00:22:29,508 Speaker 1: we spend the next three months because I've been telling 497 00:22:29,548 --> 00:22:31,348 Speaker 1: you I think Niners Eagles was the title game. You 498 00:22:31,348 --> 00:22:32,788 Speaker 1: can set it up. It is done. I would bet 499 00:22:32,828 --> 00:22:35,028 Speaker 1: everything I have on Niners Eagles. I can't do that now. 500 00:22:35,268 --> 00:22:37,588 Speaker 1: It's this is a massive loss. I'm not gonna bs 501 00:22:37,668 --> 00:22:39,428 Speaker 1: you guys and BSD audience say no, it'll be fine. 502 00:22:39,508 --> 00:22:41,388 Speaker 1: But DA is good. There's some good players in the NFL. 503 00:22:41,428 --> 00:22:43,708 Speaker 1: This is devastating loss. I feel terrible for Kyle, feel 504 00:22:43,748 --> 00:22:46,508 Speaker 1: terrible for Jimmy, feel terrible for the Niners fans. They're 505 00:22:46,548 --> 00:22:49,428 Speaker 1: not over. This is a gut punch massive. This could 506 00:22:49,428 --> 00:22:51,548 Speaker 1: work though. This script could work in the NFC because 507 00:22:51,588 --> 00:22:53,108 Speaker 1: of how the NFC is set up this season, and 508 00:22:53,148 --> 00:22:55,668 Speaker 1: the reason why Hollywood scripts work so well is because 509 00:22:55,748 --> 00:22:57,908 Speaker 1: we saw this happen to the forty nine ers already 510 00:22:57,908 --> 00:23:00,508 Speaker 1: once this season. Tray Lance goes out in that second 511 00:23:00,508 --> 00:23:03,468 Speaker 1: game Week two against the Seahawks, and we're like all 512 00:23:03,468 --> 00:23:05,388 Speaker 1: set up for a tray Lance like this is going 513 00:23:05,428 --> 00:23:07,788 Speaker 1: to be such a story, gets her carted off after 514 00:23:07,828 --> 00:23:11,108 Speaker 1: that first week lost against the burs. Okay, Jimmy Garoppolo, 515 00:23:11,148 --> 00:23:13,508 Speaker 1: you signed this deal for a certain reason in here. 516 00:23:13,548 --> 00:23:15,388 Speaker 1: Now you get to make your money and then But 517 00:23:15,548 --> 00:23:17,468 Speaker 1: what the forty nine ers did, in fact is over 518 00:23:17,508 --> 00:23:19,548 Speaker 1: the next eight or nine weeks, they figured out how 519 00:23:19,588 --> 00:23:22,708 Speaker 1: to play just a different style and credit Kyle Shanahan. 520 00:23:22,988 --> 00:23:27,988 Speaker 1: They get Christian McCaffrey from the Panthers. They learn how 521 00:23:27,988 --> 00:23:30,988 Speaker 1: to include Deebo Samuel in a really great way with 522 00:23:31,068 --> 00:23:34,228 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo as a quarterback. So now fast words, Jimmy 523 00:23:34,228 --> 00:23:36,508 Speaker 1: Garppolo getting hurt, and now brock Purty has to come 524 00:23:36,548 --> 00:23:38,828 Speaker 1: in and you're like, okay, this is where it makes 525 00:23:38,828 --> 00:23:41,068 Speaker 1: a great movie. The second hold is this really going 526 00:23:41,148 --> 00:23:43,188 Speaker 1: to happen again? But they have time, They have time 527 00:23:43,228 --> 00:23:45,268 Speaker 1: to figure this out offensively. I think brock Purty can 528 00:23:45,308 --> 00:23:47,108 Speaker 1: do it because I trust in Kyle Shanahan what he's 529 00:23:47,108 --> 00:23:49,308 Speaker 1: been able to do with this offense thus far. And 530 00:23:49,308 --> 00:23:52,308 Speaker 1: I know Garoppolo had the experience. But it's still that playbook. 531 00:23:52,308 --> 00:23:55,668 Speaker 1: It's still an offense that Kyle Shanahan has to run. 532 00:23:55,748 --> 00:23:57,708 Speaker 1: And I think that defense is just that good that 533 00:23:57,788 --> 00:23:59,948 Speaker 1: I think this does not derail them fully. See. The 534 00:23:59,988 --> 00:24:02,428 Speaker 1: only difference to me is you look at it. When 535 00:24:02,708 --> 00:24:04,788 Speaker 1: Trey Lance goes down, it was just like I remember 536 00:24:04,788 --> 00:24:06,988 Speaker 1: sitting at this table and the question was like are 537 00:24:07,028 --> 00:24:10,548 Speaker 1: they better right now? Like maybe trade fanslers the funeral, 538 00:24:11,108 --> 00:24:13,428 Speaker 1: but right now you answer, Jimmy g did they just 539 00:24:13,468 --> 00:24:15,388 Speaker 1: get better? So for me, as I look at this 540 00:24:15,428 --> 00:24:17,268 Speaker 1: whole thing, it's hard for me to look past Jimmy 541 00:24:17,268 --> 00:24:19,828 Speaker 1: Garoppolo because you look at his journey to get to 542 00:24:19,828 --> 00:24:22,188 Speaker 1: where he was this season, and like Peter meant, you 543 00:24:22,188 --> 00:24:23,548 Speaker 1: can go all the way back to New England and 544 00:24:23,588 --> 00:24:25,468 Speaker 1: tearing his knee up and when he first got to 545 00:24:25,468 --> 00:24:28,868 Speaker 1: San Francisco, but just this past all season, you're a 546 00:24:28,908 --> 00:24:31,068 Speaker 1: good quarterback, you go to the NFC title game, you 547 00:24:31,148 --> 00:24:33,828 Speaker 1: lose your replace, you're coming back off a shoulder injury, 548 00:24:33,908 --> 00:24:37,228 Speaker 1: you don't have your playbook in training camp, the Trede 549 00:24:37,308 --> 00:24:39,908 Speaker 1: lance goes down, you're inserted into the lineup and you 550 00:24:39,988 --> 00:24:42,948 Speaker 1: take off. Your team is rolling, Kyle's mentioning you as 551 00:24:42,988 --> 00:24:46,628 Speaker 1: an opportunity to be in the NFC Championship game, and 552 00:24:46,668 --> 00:24:48,428 Speaker 1: now you go down with a foot injury that's gonna 553 00:24:48,468 --> 00:24:52,268 Speaker 1: enjure entire season. It's another offseason of uncertainty, the mental 554 00:24:52,348 --> 00:24:55,068 Speaker 1: toughness that takes to play in the NFL. Going through injuries, 555 00:24:55,108 --> 00:24:57,268 Speaker 1: going through things that are out of your control. When 556 00:24:57,268 --> 00:25:00,068 Speaker 1: you replace after playing good football. I just want to 557 00:25:00,108 --> 00:25:02,068 Speaker 1: kind of send him his flowers and give him his credit, 558 00:25:02,108 --> 00:25:04,708 Speaker 1: because that stuff's not easy. We kind of get on 559 00:25:04,748 --> 00:25:07,268 Speaker 1: here and we talk about guys and the good, the bad, 560 00:25:07,308 --> 00:25:09,268 Speaker 1: the different, but when you have to live through that 561 00:25:09,268 --> 00:25:11,268 Speaker 1: and you have to go through all of those different things, 562 00:25:11,268 --> 00:25:13,708 Speaker 1: the rehab and all of that to day to day grind. 563 00:25:13,988 --> 00:25:16,668 Speaker 1: For Jimmy Garoppolo on his journey, it's tough to see 564 00:25:16,748 --> 00:25:18,868 Speaker 1: him going out with that type of injury. The Vikings 565 00:25:18,868 --> 00:25:20,788 Speaker 1: want a nail biter against the Mike White and Mike 566 00:25:20,868 --> 00:25:23,428 Speaker 1: White I what do we learn about the Vikings? What 567 00:25:23,468 --> 00:25:25,668 Speaker 1: do we learn about the Jets? In Week thirteen, right 568 00:25:25,708 --> 00:25:42,468 Speaker 1: after this Vikings going to the title game, the Jets 569 00:25:42,508 --> 00:25:44,988 Speaker 1: were pushing Vikings win this one. Twenty seven, twenty two. 570 00:25:45,308 --> 00:25:48,988 Speaker 1: Adamin Robert's all frustrated. Was it enough for Mike White? 571 00:25:49,028 --> 00:25:51,468 Speaker 1: It's a curious question does he continue to prove himself? 572 00:25:51,508 --> 00:25:53,868 Speaker 1: All I know is that Peter's really into the Zanovan 573 00:25:54,028 --> 00:25:58,388 Speaker 1: fam Nights experience and he played great fifteen kerries ninety yards. 574 00:25:58,788 --> 00:26:01,748 Speaker 1: Who's a physical game on both ends, though, Tom Pellicero 575 00:26:01,828 --> 00:26:04,148 Speaker 1: talked to Justin Jefferson after the game about some of 576 00:26:04,188 --> 00:26:07,268 Speaker 1: those IT hits the wide receiver took. I'm a feeling 577 00:26:07,308 --> 00:26:10,148 Speaker 1: tomorrow though. Definitely some great hits. But I mean Kurt 578 00:26:10,228 --> 00:26:12,788 Speaker 1: Kurt giving me those chances and me being a tough 579 00:26:12,828 --> 00:26:15,308 Speaker 1: soldier sticking in catching those balls. What do you think 580 00:26:15,308 --> 00:26:18,548 Speaker 1: when you heard the MVP chance after your touchdown? I 581 00:26:18,628 --> 00:26:21,588 Speaker 1: won't believe it until I get it. The Lions did 582 00:26:21,588 --> 00:26:23,708 Speaker 1: not give you any help today. They blew out the Jaguars. 583 00:26:23,708 --> 00:26:24,868 Speaker 1: It looks like you're gonna have to go to Detroit 584 00:26:24,908 --> 00:26:27,388 Speaker 1: and take the division time. Oh yeah, I mean that's 585 00:26:27,468 --> 00:26:29,948 Speaker 1: something that we look forward to going in and and 586 00:26:30,708 --> 00:26:33,708 Speaker 1: and being that team and win in the vision. But 587 00:26:34,228 --> 00:26:37,028 Speaker 1: we're gonna celebrate this win, look at the things that 588 00:26:37,068 --> 00:26:38,868 Speaker 1: we need to fix our office because there's a lot 589 00:26:39,148 --> 00:26:42,348 Speaker 1: and uh going to next week Ready Road. One more 590 00:26:42,388 --> 00:26:44,228 Speaker 1: win for the Vikings over the lines next week and 591 00:26:44,228 --> 00:26:47,668 Speaker 1: they potentially could clinch the NFC North. Many people, this says, 592 00:26:47,708 --> 00:26:50,108 Speaker 1: including me, chose the Jets as a potential upset. I 593 00:26:50,108 --> 00:26:52,108 Speaker 1: said it would have. It would not have surprised me 594 00:26:52,188 --> 00:26:53,588 Speaker 1: that they did it, all right, I didn't pick the 595 00:26:53,668 --> 00:26:56,668 Speaker 1: Jets on. Don't start backpedaling now. No, I'm not backpedaling. 596 00:26:56,748 --> 00:27:01,188 Speaker 1: I explicitly said it was not against right on chouse, 597 00:27:01,188 --> 00:27:05,628 Speaker 1: against your hometown. Alight of I just learned a lesson. 598 00:27:05,628 --> 00:27:09,228 Speaker 1: It's not with things like that. What did the Vikings 599 00:27:09,388 --> 00:27:12,468 Speaker 1: victory teach us a lesson about Minnesota, about the Jets? 600 00:27:12,508 --> 00:27:14,308 Speaker 1: Anything you want to take away from this US Bank 601 00:27:14,348 --> 00:27:16,228 Speaker 1: Stadium game. They could end up going fifteen and two, 602 00:27:16,228 --> 00:27:17,388 Speaker 1: and I think people are going to pick them to 603 00:27:17,388 --> 00:27:19,068 Speaker 1: lose in the division or yeah, like this is what 604 00:27:19,108 --> 00:27:21,828 Speaker 1: they do, this is this is this is the story 605 00:27:21,908 --> 00:27:23,948 Speaker 1: of the Vikings this year, and even yesterday. They have 606 00:27:23,988 --> 00:27:25,748 Speaker 1: this big lead and the Jets chip away, chip away, 607 00:27:25,828 --> 00:27:27,988 Speaker 1: chip away, chip away, and the defense shuts the door. 608 00:27:28,188 --> 00:27:29,828 Speaker 1: But I think if you're a Vikings player, or a 609 00:27:29,948 --> 00:27:32,308 Speaker 1: Vikings fan, or even a Vikings coach, you just have 610 00:27:32,388 --> 00:27:34,228 Speaker 1: to have that tunnel vision and look at the winds 611 00:27:34,228 --> 00:27:37,308 Speaker 1: you've stacked. But it's alarming. I'm sorry. I don't want 612 00:27:37,348 --> 00:27:38,908 Speaker 1: to come in here this morning and be like it 613 00:27:38,988 --> 00:27:42,708 Speaker 1: was awesome. They they have nine one score, that's good. 614 00:27:43,788 --> 00:27:46,668 Speaker 1: But these Lands are not in like the most dramatic 615 00:27:46,668 --> 00:27:48,828 Speaker 1: of fashions in a good way. They're usually big and 616 00:27:48,868 --> 00:27:50,628 Speaker 1: the other team comes back and they need to save 617 00:27:50,668 --> 00:27:52,148 Speaker 1: it at the very end. We saw it against the 618 00:27:52,148 --> 00:27:54,828 Speaker 1: Bears earlier this season, and now we saw it against 619 00:27:54,828 --> 00:27:56,748 Speaker 1: the Jets yesterday. I think I'm on a Vikings fan. 620 00:27:56,748 --> 00:27:59,348 Speaker 1: I want to kill you right now, but it's you 621 00:27:59,348 --> 00:28:00,708 Speaker 1: can't wake up. You used to kill you want to 622 00:28:00,748 --> 00:28:02,868 Speaker 1: kill your team every night. That's what you're watching because 623 00:28:02,868 --> 00:28:05,068 Speaker 1: you're like, can't we just win one easy one? Can't 624 00:28:05,068 --> 00:28:07,108 Speaker 1: we just put a team to be can we get 625 00:28:07,108 --> 00:28:08,788 Speaker 1: one of those? At some point it'll bite them in 626 00:28:08,828 --> 00:28:10,788 Speaker 1: the butt. It hasn't bitten them in the butt yet. 627 00:28:11,188 --> 00:28:13,668 Speaker 1: I appreciate what they're doing, but right now I have 628 00:28:13,668 --> 00:28:15,308 Speaker 1: a hard time after watching the Jets come all the 629 00:28:15,348 --> 00:28:16,908 Speaker 1: way back and come back and say anything different than 630 00:28:16,948 --> 00:28:19,148 Speaker 1: like the red zone defense stepped up when it mattered most, 631 00:28:19,188 --> 00:28:21,428 Speaker 1: and it did. Is that gonna be the team that's 632 00:28:21,428 --> 00:28:23,548 Speaker 1: gonna be hoisting a Lombardi? I don't know. I feel 633 00:28:23,548 --> 00:28:25,068 Speaker 1: like they let a lot of teams back in the 634 00:28:25,068 --> 00:28:27,268 Speaker 1: back door, and that's not a great thing to do 635 00:28:27,428 --> 00:28:29,388 Speaker 1: in big games. So they look at and say, you 636 00:28:29,428 --> 00:28:32,028 Speaker 1: know what, we're battle tested when it comes down to 637 00:28:32,188 --> 00:28:34,868 Speaker 1: the nitty gritty. We know how to win the game. 638 00:28:34,948 --> 00:28:37,708 Speaker 1: Because the Vikings have done this throughout the season. They've 639 00:28:37,908 --> 00:28:41,188 Speaker 1: ended games in the fourth quarter with the defense taking 640 00:28:41,228 --> 00:28:43,868 Speaker 1: the ball away from the office. It's happened four times. 641 00:28:43,868 --> 00:28:46,828 Speaker 1: We watched it. Mike White going for the win, throws 642 00:28:46,868 --> 00:28:49,508 Speaker 1: the ball intercepted at the end of the game. And 643 00:28:49,548 --> 00:28:51,388 Speaker 1: it wasn't just a Jets game. You go back to 644 00:28:51,428 --> 00:28:54,428 Speaker 1: Week three, they're playing against the line sixteen seconds ago, 645 00:28:54,548 --> 00:28:58,268 Speaker 1: Josh but tell Us intercepts golf game over. Then they're 646 00:28:58,268 --> 00:29:00,508 Speaker 1: playing the Bears week five, cam days going through them 647 00:29:00,508 --> 00:29:03,108 Speaker 1: all you remember, it strips the ball, gets the ball back, 648 00:29:03,148 --> 00:29:05,588 Speaker 1: they take a knee, game over, and then obviously the 649 00:29:05,668 --> 00:29:09,188 Speaker 1: overtime win versus the Buffalo Bills where Patrick Peterson intercepts 650 00:29:09,228 --> 00:29:11,228 Speaker 1: the ball. So for me, you're watching a team that 651 00:29:11,388 --> 00:29:14,348 Speaker 1: defensively when it comes down to the two minute situation 652 00:29:14,548 --> 00:29:16,828 Speaker 1: we watched last week. We talked about the Baltimore Ravens 653 00:29:16,828 --> 00:29:18,988 Speaker 1: and the Jags, and we said the Ravens defense, they 654 00:29:18,988 --> 00:29:21,068 Speaker 1: can't get off the field when it matters most The 655 00:29:21,148 --> 00:29:23,708 Speaker 1: Vikings are figuring out a way to do that. We 656 00:29:23,788 --> 00:29:25,948 Speaker 1: know what Jefferson and Cousins can do on the offensive 657 00:29:25,988 --> 00:29:28,028 Speaker 1: side of the ball, but for them on defense. Hey, 658 00:29:28,068 --> 00:29:29,828 Speaker 1: we'll go on the field and we'll win the game. 659 00:29:30,068 --> 00:29:32,308 Speaker 1: And the fourth quarter and you guys go out there 660 00:29:32,388 --> 00:29:34,388 Speaker 1: taking they and we go and celebrate the beginning. It 661 00:29:34,508 --> 00:29:37,348 Speaker 1: was so typical. It was just so like living in 662 00:29:37,388 --> 00:29:40,348 Speaker 1: this like uncomfortable when the game is coming down the 663 00:29:40,388 --> 00:29:43,508 Speaker 1: stretch as a Vikings fan is it's just where you 664 00:29:43,548 --> 00:29:46,348 Speaker 1: swim and it's like, honest to god, I just walked, 665 00:29:46,428 --> 00:29:48,428 Speaker 1: My god, I just walked away from the TV or 666 00:29:48,468 --> 00:29:50,388 Speaker 1: I was doing something. I just was like, yeah, here 667 00:29:50,388 --> 00:29:52,388 Speaker 1: they go. Now we're gonna have to rely on Kirk 668 00:29:52,548 --> 00:29:56,228 Speaker 1: to prove himself once again. Ten wins, Jamie, that's fine, 669 00:29:56,268 --> 00:29:58,868 Speaker 1: And this is my point. I am gonna win optimism here, 670 00:29:58,868 --> 00:30:01,388 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna say that they have learned how to 671 00:30:01,428 --> 00:30:04,748 Speaker 1: win different styles of game. The puzzle pieces, the quilt, 672 00:30:04,788 --> 00:30:07,028 Speaker 1: if you will, is coming together on a season that 673 00:30:07,148 --> 00:30:10,548 Speaker 1: has a mass ten wins. A little uncomfortable those ten wins, 674 00:30:10,588 --> 00:30:13,308 Speaker 1: but I don't care. Whatever gets you to early February. 675 00:30:13,308 --> 00:30:16,308 Speaker 1: It's fine. Offensively, defense has done great. You're right, like, 676 00:30:16,348 --> 00:30:18,188 Speaker 1: that's where you want to swim is in the two 677 00:30:18,228 --> 00:30:20,788 Speaker 1: minute defense if you're a Vikings fan. But the offense 678 00:30:20,788 --> 00:30:22,828 Speaker 1: looks really good. How is it possible that we're talking 679 00:30:22,828 --> 00:30:25,708 Speaker 1: about Justin Jefferson, a guy that is leading the league 680 00:30:25,828 --> 00:30:28,828 Speaker 1: in Pro Bowl votes and one of, if not the 681 00:30:28,868 --> 00:30:31,628 Speaker 1: most popular player. Yet he's on this team that is 682 00:30:31,668 --> 00:30:34,668 Speaker 1: still in a one score setting. Why can't they win 683 00:30:34,788 --> 00:30:37,908 Speaker 1: twenty seven to ten. It's interesting because the defense puts 684 00:30:37,908 --> 00:30:39,748 Speaker 1: the clamps down in the final two minutes or in 685 00:30:39,788 --> 00:30:42,668 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, yet they're still allowing a New York 686 00:30:42,708 --> 00:30:45,148 Speaker 1: Jets team to get twenty two points on them. So 687 00:30:45,388 --> 00:30:47,788 Speaker 1: it's an interesting push and pull I think with the 688 00:30:47,868 --> 00:30:50,388 Speaker 1: Vikings defense. But the offense, to me, has been one 689 00:30:50,428 --> 00:30:53,348 Speaker 1: of the more consistent parts of this game, minus the 690 00:30:53,348 --> 00:30:56,428 Speaker 1: Cowboys game. And that Cowboys game, let me just tell 691 00:30:56,468 --> 00:30:59,668 Speaker 1: you again, I come back was the ultimate offensive reset 692 00:30:59,668 --> 00:31:01,868 Speaker 1: button when you think about this Viking team because it 693 00:31:01,948 --> 00:31:04,788 Speaker 1: took eight weeks, but fans were convinced that things were 694 00:31:04,788 --> 00:31:07,508 Speaker 1: different this year, and I think it was humbling in November. 695 00:31:07,668 --> 00:31:09,148 Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that it has to change how 696 00:31:09,148 --> 00:31:12,828 Speaker 1: you feel about January. No, you guys saying uncomfortable ten wins. No, 697 00:31:12,908 --> 00:31:16,868 Speaker 1: it's uncomfortable ten loss your two and ten right now, 698 00:31:17,228 --> 00:31:20,628 Speaker 1: that's uncomfortable. Ten wins I'm celebrating. I got a buddy 699 00:31:20,628 --> 00:31:23,628 Speaker 1: of mine who's from Minnesota. He constantly text me about 700 00:31:23,668 --> 00:31:25,988 Speaker 1: the Vikings and he's like, I'm worried we're the worst 701 00:31:26,028 --> 00:31:27,628 Speaker 1: ten and two team of all time, And I go, 702 00:31:27,748 --> 00:31:30,428 Speaker 1: is that even possible to be a tip? But he's like, no, really, 703 00:31:30,508 --> 00:31:32,268 Speaker 1: Like look it up at ten and two teams and 704 00:31:32,268 --> 00:31:35,428 Speaker 1: their win differential and their point differential. Like we've gotten 705 00:31:35,508 --> 00:31:39,748 Speaker 1: crazy breaks like the Buffalo game Josh Shallen takes the 706 00:31:39,788 --> 00:31:42,148 Speaker 1: snap and falls on his face. The Vikings lose that 707 00:31:42,228 --> 00:31:45,668 Speaker 1: they didn't. So sometimes though that it's either lucky or 708 00:31:45,708 --> 00:31:48,988 Speaker 1: it's just meant to be, Like which one of these teams? 709 00:31:49,308 --> 00:31:51,468 Speaker 1: How long will that kill you? It's carried him for 710 00:31:51,548 --> 00:31:53,948 Speaker 1: a long time. I look at it as a good way. 711 00:31:54,228 --> 00:31:57,508 Speaker 1: I'm trying to We've gone for years about Kirk Cousins 712 00:31:57,508 --> 00:31:59,828 Speaker 1: and big games and close games and primetime games. They're 713 00:31:59,828 --> 00:32:02,588 Speaker 1: making big progress there and they're winning the close games. 714 00:32:03,588 --> 00:32:05,988 Speaker 1: I think the Jim Garoppo injury, which is the news 715 00:32:06,028 --> 00:32:07,908 Speaker 1: of the week, is a big deal for the Vikings. 716 00:32:07,948 --> 00:32:10,188 Speaker 1: I really do. I've been saying for about a month now. 717 00:32:10,228 --> 00:32:12,868 Speaker 1: I think it's it's Niners, Eagles, Niners, Eagles title game 718 00:32:12,948 --> 00:32:14,548 Speaker 1: and Vikings fans like, what do you mean, what about us? 719 00:32:14,588 --> 00:32:16,428 Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't think you're as good as the Nines. 720 00:32:16,548 --> 00:32:18,828 Speaker 1: I do now. I think it is a massive equalizer 721 00:32:18,988 --> 00:32:21,148 Speaker 1: that has ripple effects with the whole NFC. I think 722 00:32:21,228 --> 00:32:22,828 Speaker 1: that was the biggest thing that happened to the Vikings 723 00:32:22,828 --> 00:32:24,508 Speaker 1: just and they beat the Jets and the Niners quarterback 724 00:32:24,508 --> 00:32:26,828 Speaker 1: out of you. That's the second time you've said that today. 725 00:32:27,108 --> 00:32:28,828 Speaker 1: You've said it in the first place about the Cowboys. 726 00:32:28,868 --> 00:32:30,708 Speaker 1: To me, that implies that you had just kind of 727 00:32:30,708 --> 00:32:32,708 Speaker 1: an on You had a silent appreciation for what the 728 00:32:32,708 --> 00:32:34,508 Speaker 1: forty nine ers were doing, and now that this has 729 00:32:34,548 --> 00:32:36,228 Speaker 1: come to be for the forty nine ers, you're kind 730 00:32:36,268 --> 00:32:37,908 Speaker 1: of like, dang, you were liking what they were doing. 731 00:32:37,988 --> 00:32:39,588 Speaker 1: I also like, I have a lot of respect for 732 00:32:39,668 --> 00:32:42,748 Speaker 1: Jimmy and not everyone does, and Jimmy is is not 733 00:32:42,948 --> 00:32:45,508 Speaker 1: the greatest thing in the world, but man, he keeps 734 00:32:45,548 --> 00:32:47,588 Speaker 1: running that show and they're really good and they were 735 00:32:47,588 --> 00:32:50,028 Speaker 1: just surging. So I think it's good news for the Vikings. 736 00:32:50,028 --> 00:32:51,708 Speaker 1: And I know it's sad, but it is all right. 737 00:32:52,108 --> 00:32:53,948 Speaker 1: Still more to come on Good Morning Football coming out. 738 00:32:54,028 --> 00:32:57,468 Speaker 1: Much like the game in New Jersey yesterday the NFC 739 00:32:57,628 --> 00:32:59,948 Speaker 1: East is neck and neck and neck and neck. It 740 00:32:59,948 --> 00:33:01,788 Speaker 1: feels like, how will it all pan out down the 741 00:33:01,828 --> 00:33:05,588 Speaker 1: stretch where does see we're talking about it? What was 742 00:33:05,588 --> 00:33:08,388 Speaker 1: with the punting over time? You know, what was that
