Yes, 41 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson, hi an He slides down the Minista Vikings 42 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: eight and one, and they come to Buffalo and they 43 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: walk up on Stefan Dicks and the Buffalo Bills the crow. 44 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: It is absolutely stunned. Oh the bongos, Paul Allen and 45 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: Pete Verstas the call k f A. And we're gonna 46 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: hear more from then because this was without a doubt. 47 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: There were a lot of good games this year, and 48 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: they've been very good games throughout the season, but nothing 49 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: matched this game in terms of the vibes they heat. 50 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: Darryl Johnson, calling the game for Fox, said, this has 51 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: been the most amazing two minutes of football I have 52 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: ever seen in my entire life, referring to the end 53 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter, that guy's got three rings. Patrick 54 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: Peterson intercepted Josh Allen with one twelve remaining in overtime, 55 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: and the Minnesota Vikings roar back from multiple scores down 56 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: in the second half to beat the Buffalo Bills thirty 57 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: three to thirty. UH in the A. T and era, gentleman, 58 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: UH two thousand thirteen to present. I know there have 59 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: been great games. As I'm watching this game, and specifically 60 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: really end of the third quarter on I don't know 61 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: if I've ever seen a crazy or more exciting, more 62 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: intense game between two teams who understood the gravity of 63 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: the moment. Here amazing to watch. It also might go 64 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 1: down as one of the great receiver performances of all time. 65 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: I mean, kirk Cousins is showing up big in late 66 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: spots this year. You need to drive from kirk Cousins. 67 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: He goes and gets it, and he's partly done that 68 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: by putting the ball up. The last three or four 69 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: weeks we've been talking about and being more confident giving 70 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 1: the fifty fifty balls to Justin Jefferson, be more aggressive. 71 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: So with that out of the way, they don't win 72 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 1: this game without Justin Jefferson. The sheer quantity of ridiculous 73 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: catches in huge spots is just preposterous. Next Gen Stats 74 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 1: had had a number that that all time high of 75 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: receptions on throws that had a under fifty percent completion 76 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: expected on on a throw that wasn't expected to be 77 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: completed was six until this game in the Next Gen 78 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: Stats era, and he had nine of those catches today 79 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: of where you don't expect it to be a catch, 80 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 1: but kid Kauzi, Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson get it 81 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: done together. I think part of it is Cousins has 82 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: been throwing the ball to him beautifully. There were a 83 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 1: couple of absolute app ropes in this game. And on 84 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: the flip side, Josh Allen, he has the six interception 85 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 1: this season of inside the opponent's thirty yardland, that's the 86 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 1: most in the NFL. Four of the five of those 87 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: have come in the last two weeks. And so we've 88 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 1: seen We've seen Josh Allen, who's you know, superhuman for 89 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: much of the season, go through little many slumps in 90 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: the past, and I think he's in one right now 91 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 1: to some degree. Still marvelous, absolutely. I mean, remember, this 92 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: was a guy that late in the week it looked, 93 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: like we talked about on Thursday Show, doesn't look like 94 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: he's gonna be playing in this game. And then all 95 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden, he's trending upward throughout the weekend, and 96 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: then he's on the field and he's throwing ropes too, 97 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: and he's putting up big numbers. And yet, yeah, the 98 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: inner the interceptions, putting the ball on the ground, um, fumbles, um. 99 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 1: I want to the way to get into this game, 100 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: because every once in a while you do have crazy games. 101 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 1: Like this, I took out a card holding in my 102 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: right hand, and I starting from one one to play. 103 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,360 Speaker 1: In the third quarter, Tyler Bass for the Bills kicks 104 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: the field going to make it to that point, this 105 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: was somewhat a normal game like it was playing out. 106 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: How many would have expected Minnesota team that had jumped 107 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: out to this big seven and one start, But are 108 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: they really on the level of the top contenders? The 109 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: Bills with Josh Allen looking like a team that could dominate. 110 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 1: And then from that point on, a big game changing 111 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: play is Dalvin Cook going eighty one yards on the 112 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: ensuing possession on the first drive, first play of the drive. 113 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: That makes been doing that about like once a week lately. 114 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: That right there, and that gets forgotten now, But that 115 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: changed this game because all of a sudden went from 116 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: this game's over to all right, they have a pulse. 117 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: Then uh, In the ensuing possession, Josh Allen throws his 118 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: first of two end zone interceptions in this game to 119 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson, and Minnesota follows that up with a six 120 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: six minute drive where they convert a fourth and six 121 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 1: at midfield to guess who Hawkinson. T J. Hockenson has 122 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,880 Speaker 1: been a huge pickup for them that missed the P 123 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: A T which makes three and you're thinking, oh, that 124 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: is so Vikings. But that made the drama even more 125 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: so because after a Buffalo three and out, Minnesota goes 126 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 1: twelve for seventy five Greggy, and that's when the amazing 127 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: and there are many great catches by Justin Jefferson, but Jefferson, 128 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson in a fourth and eighteen near midfield, makes 129 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: a one handed snag that you know, people always immediately 130 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: judge things against the O. B J. But it's right 131 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,239 Speaker 1: up there and the fact that the stakes on that play, 132 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: what's ironic about that is that didn't lead to points 133 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: Greggy because on the fourth it doesn't look the more 134 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: you looked at, the more replays of it that you saw, 135 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: when he was coming down at an angle with the 136 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: defender on his wrist, it's like, how is the ball 137 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: still on his head? The mc schre painting of catches. 138 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 1: But that that drive ends in an insane way because um, 139 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: they have a free play the Vikings at the goal 140 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: line on an off sides for Buffalo and Dalvin Cook 141 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: is by himself for the go ahead touchdown and he 142 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: just drops it and it's a free place, so you 143 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: get the ball back. Would have been the all the 144 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: all time Cadence clutch play of all time. Kirk Cousins 145 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: is beautiful bass Cadence. He was mad at me for 146 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 1: not making the Cadence rankings. Gets that offside and that 147 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 1: the Cadence would have won the game if Coo Cook 148 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: drops the ball. And then on fourth and goal from 149 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: the half yard line, uh, Kirk Cousins gets stuffed. It's 150 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: very close. But then Mark, on the next play, this happens. 151 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: Josh Allen puts Gabe Davis in motion and Davis was 152 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: behind Allen and he tried to push him. He didn't 153 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 1: get out of it. He didn't get out. He did 154 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: to get out. That's a safety kid to us. Yes, 155 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: even much little straight down, get a little over excited 156 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: the quarter, rock off the snow. You know someone died 157 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: on the ball in the end song are you kidding me? 158 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: Just happened? Oh wow? The shades of Mark Charlie Steiner 159 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: in the eighties six Divisional playoffs Jets Browns where he said, oh, 160 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: the Jets are gonna win this game, and they didn't 161 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: because what they forgot was that there're still ninety seconds 162 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: or so, the Bills go down the field. They kicked 163 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: the field goal to force overtime, and only because Gabe 164 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: Davis has a sideline catch that they rule a catch 165 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 1: that wasn't actually catch. Another highlighter play that I had 166 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,559 Speaker 1: to mention here. And then you get to overtime. Minnesota 167 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,199 Speaker 1: kicks the field goal and then Buffalo mark is set 168 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 1: up first and ten at the Minnesota twenty. They go 169 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: right down the field and you're thinking, after all of this, 170 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,959 Speaker 1: how Vikings is this gonna be that they're gonna lose 171 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: this game. Josh Allen does it again. He tries to 172 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: force a pass over the middle when he doesn't have to. 173 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson, who by the way, is still making huge 174 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,959 Speaker 1: plays in this league, in two, makes the interception game 175 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: over stunner Vikings for real, Bills go from best team 176 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: in football seven days ago to third place. And it's 177 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: amazing how quickly the scenery changes. And I mean I 178 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: mentioned those Allen interceptions of late. You know, in these 179 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: spaces that count where it should be the opposite from 180 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and I mean, you know, for me, it's 181 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: like this Vikings team, which for years I thought it's 182 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: just been the same team season after season. It's just 183 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 1: they're fine. They're good, They're not great. Uh, they have 184 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 1: won seven straight one score games, which I I believe 185 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: I heard today has never happened in the NFL. And 186 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: that is a wild situation. And but this is this 187 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: is any team like this on a run where the 188 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 1: records started to compile, and it's you struggle to believe 189 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: if they're in that elite class. I don't know if 190 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: they're an elite team right now, but I'll tell you 191 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: something like win like this changes everything that we should 192 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: think about the Vikings because they went into Buffalo totally 193 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,599 Speaker 1: hung with him, made life difficult for Josh Allen and 194 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: key situations, and you have a quarterback in a wider 195 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: seaver whose chemistry in Unison is as good as anything 196 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 1: we have in the NFL At the moment, I mean, 197 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 1: what does it even meanly they're gonna clinch the NFC 198 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,440 Speaker 1: North potentially before December. I mean, it's it's possible that 199 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: there's still got a massive lead. They're they're playing the 200 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 1: big boys this week. And this was a perfect pick 201 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: for Game of the Year because it's one of these 202 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: seventeen point comebacks. This season is defined by these monster 203 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,319 Speaker 1: comebacks and Kirk Cousins. This season has been defined by 204 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: you need to drive. You gotta drive from Kirk Cousins 205 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: because Justin Jefferson is right there with the most valuable 206 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: players at any position in the league and is helping 207 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 1: helping them get over the finish line, like he hasn't 208 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 1: played that well against some bad teams, and then at 209 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: the end of these games, Cousins gets it done. I 210 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: don't think it changes how I feel too much about 211 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 1: either one of these teams. Maybe it just shows that 212 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: the Vikings got a little bit of hood spot but 213 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: were like an impenetrable a couple of weeks ago. Yes, 214 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: actually it does change how I feel about Buffalo the 215 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 1: last couple of weeks the Turnovers, which is now three 216 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: weeks running for l and we've talked about on the 217 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: show a lot that he's always been a dude that's 218 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: gonna give you a chance, but right now he's on 219 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: a little bit of a cold streak. Like if you're 220 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: at the blackjack table and the dealer keeps on pulling 221 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,680 Speaker 1: twenty one, and it's it's a situation for me where 222 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 1: this is not the night to be talking about regression 223 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: and the vikings. But because you're saying this is on 224 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: president and no one's won seven straight games in this fashion, 225 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: I guess you could make that call. But I just 226 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: got Sometimes you just gotta give a team it's flowers 227 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: and be like, that's an incredible comeback in a great win. 228 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: And Kirk Cousins, by the way, for most of this 229 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: game looked like he was having all his Cousins primetime 230 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: big spot type games. And he just flipped the switch 231 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 1: and and I just gotta give him a lot of credit. 232 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,959 Speaker 1: Let's hear from Kirk Cousins. Who does he have plans? 233 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 1: What's his nickname? Now? It's it's um Kirky Chains? What 234 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: is it? Help me out anybody? Kerk Thuggins. So it's 235 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 1: all over the place. I was giving him. I've been 236 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: giving him kid Kuzzi for a while. That's pretty good high. 237 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: But that's been taken kind of but not really. It's 238 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: a good one. Uh. Will he be topless on the 239 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:04,320 Speaker 1: plane tonight? I think we reached the mountaintop last week. 240 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: Got a load that there's I don't know that there's 241 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: anywhere to go from here. Someone else to take the mantle, uh, 242 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: because I think he doesn't have a choice on this. Well, 243 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: we know something's happening on that plane. That shows great 244 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: decision making though he knows when a bit has like 245 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: reached it. We could use one of those guys Apex. 246 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: That's the new Kirk. Though two more Kirk Cousins place 247 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: quickly would just be the second that the second and 248 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: one in overtime with a free rusher barreling down on 249 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: him and he gets it off when he would hold 250 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,199 Speaker 1: onto the ball and take a tack unbelievable. And then 251 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 1: the play that set them up inside the five yard 252 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 1: line in overtime that was more of a great throw 253 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 1: than just a great catch by Jefferson. That was an 254 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: absolute time. He has this because he throws to where 255 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: the receiver is gonna be that. Not all quarterbacks have 256 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 1: that ability to do that or the guts to do that. 257 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 1: He does it all the time, so even with a 258 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: pass rush bearing down on him, he can hit you 259 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: in stride. I was thinking of he had a scramble 260 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 1: inside the five yard where he put his shoulder down 261 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: and it's like, I'm not saying that Kirk. I we 262 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: don't know Kirk Cousins. But this is why he's getting 263 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: the chains and everybody's into him. You're winning and you're 264 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 1: showing that you're a dude and you're a member of 265 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: the team. Really cool. Uh not. By the way, this 266 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: is another and I don't want to bring this up 267 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: because nobody is covered in glory on this another lock 268 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: apocalypse and uh the Cincinnati Zoo and it came strong 269 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: on this one. Nick was Nick was very confident this one. 270 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: Do we have what Nick had to say going into 271 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,920 Speaker 1: this game. There's no way the Vikings go into Buffalo 272 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: and take care of business in November. It's gonna be cold, 273 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: it's gonna be rainy, and the Bills take care of business. Well, listen, 274 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: I didn't think the Vikings were gonna win this game either. 275 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,280 Speaker 1: Once Josh Allen was playing, I mean he also took 276 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: a lot of I did lock it up. It took 277 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: a lot of shots at me. I mean, he's been 278 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: a guy who's mentioned a lot this year that you 279 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: gotta have guts in and pick a game that you 280 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: know is like a close spread or whatever, and there's 281 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: rose they'll settling scores. It's just funny because if we 282 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 1: knew how long Josh Allen was starting this game. This 283 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 1: wouldn't even have been in the lock zone because the 284 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: Bills would have been that big of a favorite. That's 285 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: how much it moved to before the game, and yet 286 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,120 Speaker 1: here it is. Justin Nick on Twitter today to the 287 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: a t N lock it Up Twitter account when they 288 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: tweeted this out, said he thought Case Keenan was going 289 00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: to be starting, and that's why he locked it up 290 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: because keen wouldn't have made those any of this game 291 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,680 Speaker 1: losing turnovers at the end, and it's a very solid point. 292 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: That's Nick's. That's a great Nick move. Alright, Well listen 293 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,720 Speaker 1: before we can't go in on Nick too hard because, 294 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: like I said, that's the first event many misses in 295 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 1: the prediction game. I've already lost my TNF prediction. Let's 296 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: move on. So we gave that game a little extra 297 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 1: love because obviously it deserved it. But there was there 298 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: are a bunch of really good games, including the first 299 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: ever NFL game in Germany. Let's check that one out 300 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: early this morning. White swings of motion, empty backfield, Brady looks, 301 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 1: Brady looks. Brady looks back to his white laugh car 302 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: touched tavel rock crush Godwin touchdown, bucking airs, we lead 303 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: twenty two three week Levroard and Munich. But there is 304 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: a flag in the end zone on that right side, 305 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 1: and I think they're gonna try to call it offensive 306 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: pass interference Seahawks, like penal is gonna be all the 307 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: Bucket ears offensive past interference? Where's all the players a touchdown? 308 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 1: Oh say that? In Sherwin, John hush the Munich ge 309 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 1: decker half with a call w f U S. I 310 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: love it. This feels like a I'm getting the feeling 311 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a big homer week for the radio guys. 312 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: Two weeks and two games so far. Um Chris Godwin, 313 00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: they need him to step up, and he did in 314 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: this game with a touchdown and Tom Brady remained undefeated 315 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: abroad by throwing two touchdown passes. The Bucks beat the 316 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: Seahawks sixteen. Like I said, first game ever in Germany, 317 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 1: at in Munich at the Allian's very nice facility at 318 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 1: least from the television, and uh Greg this game was 319 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 1: very Then We're gonna get to the Packers a little 320 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: bit too, and Aaron Rodgers, these the old guard backs 321 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: against the wall, some big performances. The Bucks all of 322 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: a sudden, pretty good shape at five and five, hitting 323 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: their body. They're in great shape. They're gonna host the 324 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: playoff game. I'm sorry Falcons fans or Panthers fans. I 325 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 1: know Saints fans have no belief left there at five 326 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,440 Speaker 1: and five in this game had all the things that 327 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,440 Speaker 1: you wanted to see. It wasn't about Tom Brady. Tom 328 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: Brady played well enough, like he has played all season. 329 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: It was about both lines just pushing the Seahawks around. 330 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: They ran all over him. The drive to close the 331 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: game out when Seattle closed the lead to six was 332 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 1: so impressive that they just run all over Seattle. They 333 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: did it all game. They had a hundred and sixty 334 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: one yards and then on the other side they were 335 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: harassing Gino Smith. They hit him six times while tom 336 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,879 Speaker 1: Brady sitting back, are going pat pat pat. Almost a 337 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 1: gholston for the Seattle defense. A gholston is when you 338 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: get no sacks, no QB hits. There was one QB 339 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: hit on Tom Brady, and there were a lot of 340 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,160 Speaker 1: plays where he got to get to his third read 341 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: and then let Godwin make a play, Julio Jones makes 342 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: a play. It was just really impressive. In the trenches, 343 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: they look like the tougher team. And if they got 344 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: that going, like they're gonna be a tough team. You've 345 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: been trying to make Gholston a thing for ten years 346 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,359 Speaker 1: on the show. I mean it is a thing to 347 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 1: me that I don't expect it to ever like carry on. 348 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: I think there was about a three year period where 349 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 1: I gave it up and now I'm bringing it back. 350 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: It's like I R Boomerang. It's got about the the 351 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 1: shelf life of that. One's got some legs, Like I've 352 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: heard that I was going to take off. I think 353 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: like that needs a word. No quarterback hits, no sacks, 354 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: that needs a word, and uh, you know ghost works. 355 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: It was, um a really a really fun game because 356 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: like the game we just talked about previously, it felt 357 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,600 Speaker 1: like a game in hand. Tampa Bay is up one 358 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,120 Speaker 1: three and uh, Greg, I know you'd believe me, um, 359 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: but uh, I don't have a problem with watching Gino 360 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: Smith do well. I'm okay with it. And you know what, 361 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: how could you not be impressed by what he does. 362 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 1: I know he had the big fumble that helped put 363 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: Seattle in a hole in this game, but those two 364 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: drives in the second half late in the game, so 365 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: many money throws like right on the and good decisions 366 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: and going through his progressions. He if you get the 367 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: ball back in his hands, I could have saw them 368 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 1: saw Seattle steel in this game. It didn't work out 369 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 1: that way. The defense couldn't get the stop. But I 370 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: just want to throw some flowers the way of Gino, 371 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: I mean. And also it was the Seahawks going for 372 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: it on fourth down, the fourth down pass to Tyler Lockett, 373 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 1: the fourth the one touchdown shots too. Marku's good when 374 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 1: like that Gino every week, whether there's whether he stopped 375 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: or not in the team stop, but he continues to 376 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 1: make some beautiful throws. And to me, this was the 377 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 1: Bucks offense that we had been sold going into the season, 378 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: and it started with the ability to run the ball. 379 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 1: They were able to control this game early by by that, 380 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 1: and it's like we hadn't seen that in weeks and weeks. 381 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: And Brady, to me, is not the problem in that offense. 382 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 1: When they struggle. He can see he's throwing great, he 383 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 1: looks awesome, he looks like Tom Brady. I feel like 384 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 1: this could be now. I don't want to get sucked 385 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 1: in here. Greggy on the Julio Jones tip again because 386 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: we all did that Julio Clone coverage. I know he 387 00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: looked faster making he is moving really well. And if 388 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: Godwin is getting better, obviously Mike Evans and the running 389 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: game is better with it for NET being minimized a 390 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 1: little bit. I mean, this week, you don't have to 391 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: I feel like you don't have to swin hard to 392 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: see Tampa Bay making a big push in the second half. 393 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: I could, I could. You can really see. Tom Brady 394 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: knows better than anyone. All that matters is how you 395 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,960 Speaker 1: play in that single elimination tournament, and it helps to 396 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,440 Speaker 1: be playing well in a few weeks before to feel 397 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: good about those things. They're injuries that they've had have 398 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: mostly bounced back. Their defense is healthier this week than 399 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 1: they've been all season. A Keem Hicks was out there 400 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: making plays. Winfield was back making plays. Carlton Davis is 401 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,440 Speaker 1: mac back playing plays for Net's injury in this game, 402 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: I think helped them out for the most part. I 403 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: think Rashad White was already need more work, and I 404 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 1: think he was more explosive, but there were a couple 405 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 1: of plays. And Brady has been playing well, but he 406 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: hasn't been in sync with his receivers, and there were 407 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 1: a couple of plays in this game where they just 408 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: weren't making those plays in previous week. Some of them 409 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: were the third and two runs and that wasn't Brady, 410 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: but the others were that played as Scottie Miller on 411 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: third and two where it just sleeping beautiful throw by 412 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: Brady under pressure. And then another play where Tom Brady 413 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,520 Speaker 1: has to improvise and finds it to Godwin who makes 414 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: the right read with Brady. That they weren't making those 415 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: plays they did today. I I think they're a very 416 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: scary team. You look at they're going to their by 417 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: so let's just get healthier. And then their schedule really 418 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 1: is relatively soft down the stretch. So you're right, they're 419 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: gonna win the division. They're gonna host a playoff game. 420 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: And if you get this version of Tampa Bay, I 421 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 1: told you ever won this division was gonna win a 422 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 1: playoff game on our Friday Funt Show. It's not really 423 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: that daring of a prediction. If you get to take 424 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 1: you up on that one. I mean, like, you know, 425 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: that's fine. But ten days ago we were talking about 426 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: this team is a moribund offense that couldn't get out 427 00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: of its own west well search of itself. I mean 428 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: they were, we were one of them, were frustrating that. Tonight, 429 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 1: my friend good buddy Um Shellin patel Um, big time 430 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: bucks fan, big time listener of the show went flew 431 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: from Tampa, UH to Germany for this game. Sent me 432 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: a selfie on Friday night with Rich Eisen. I said, oh, 433 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: you you know, say your friends and me. He said, 434 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 1: oh no, I didn't think to do it. I was like, 435 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: that's fine. Um. But Shellin sent a video to on 436 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: our fantasy thread this morning of him in the stadium UM, 437 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: and he wrote, nobody leaving the blanking stadium. Game ended 438 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: ten minutes ago. Incredible vibe. And we all on this 439 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: show we're we're invested in the success of the game 440 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: overseas because that's given the overseas audience has given so 441 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 1: much to us. UM, So it's very cool to see 442 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: this game go off in Munich and Tom Brady had 443 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,199 Speaker 1: words along those lines as well. Yeah, that is one 444 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: of the great football experiences I've ever had. So it 445 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: says a lot for twenty three years in the league 446 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,200 Speaker 1: and for a regular season game and I think the 447 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: fan turnout was incredible. It felt like a very electric 448 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 1: from the time we took the field. So at the 449 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,879 Speaker 1: end of the game with them singing Sweet Caroline and 450 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 1: uh Country Row, that was that was pretty epic. So 451 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 1: I think everyone who's a part of that experience I 452 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,679 Speaker 1: got to I got to have something pretty pretty amazing 453 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 1: memory for their life. So thank you for hosting us. 454 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,399 Speaker 1: We appreciate it. Thank you. I went to investigate the 455 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: take me Home, Country Road, Country Roads scenario because like 456 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 1: they were playing it as Tom Brady received like a 457 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 1: shotgun snap at one point, but it is it is 458 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,360 Speaker 1: for years been a massive sing along hit in Germany 459 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: during Octoberfest, and so they just they brought it to 460 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: would Yeah, they should make that an annual thing. I 461 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 1: mean you could see like Brady's eyes were kind of 462 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: shining there smiling too. Again, it was they also one, 463 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 1: I mean it's been a while for it was emotional. 464 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: And and kyleeen Wolfe, who I think we're gonna hear 465 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 1: at the end of the show, she she sent in 466 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: a missive from from Germany and she had a similar take, 467 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,120 Speaker 1: which was that it was an emotional experience. I think 468 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 1: for everyone there that the singing and everything that happened 469 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 1: that it's still going on tent to fifteen minutes after 470 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: the game, Like, I don't think the German fans could 471 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:24,959 Speaker 1: have done any better. It's awesome. I hope we get 472 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: over there with them next year. Yeah, that sounds fun. 473 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: And Mark when we were down on the field in London, 474 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: I think you were in conversation with m j D 475 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: at the time and they were doing Sweet Caroline, which 476 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: I don't like the song. I'm not a Neil Diamond guy. 477 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 1: I don't like busting sports teams UM, but that crowd 478 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: that song. I was getting goose bumps because they were 479 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: singing at the top of their lungs that song and 480 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: everybody had just huge smiles on their face, seventy fans 481 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: the International series, and this is gonna sound like we're 482 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: you know, companymen or I am is a huge hit, 483 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 1: like and this is something they need to keep pushing 484 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 1: and I know they will. I think it's it's also 485 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: that you know, historically the passion at their football UM 486 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: games nationally and all through Europe is insane, and they 487 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 1: bring that to this and this German crowded you could 488 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: tell on the television was absolutely off the hook, and 489 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: like I'm sure many spirits were in Bibe going in 490 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: and who knows what else, And I love it, And 491 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: like everyone from NFL network seemed too, as you called it, 492 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: Greg cited as like almost a spiritual awakening for some reason. 493 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: So maybe they never come back to America. They probably will, 494 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,640 Speaker 1: but it seems like and we don't. We always give 495 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: like the UK and the you know, Canadian and Australian listeners. Okay, yeah, yeah, 496 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: well you know you guys, Germany.

Before we get to the next game, 502 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: we have some developing news, uh, coming out of Minnesota, 503 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: of course, or I say over Minnesota, UM, Greg Rosenthal, Yeah, 504 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins wasn't lying. He has made the decision, or 505 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 1: maybe it wasn't his decision to make the chains have 506 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 1: moved on. Patrick Peterson wearing the chains on the way home. 507 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: Can I add a bod note to this UM news update? 508 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: So I think we were all surprised to find out 509 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: that not shocked, but that Kirk Cousins um delivered a 510 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: surprising eight pack when and he's he's quite um shapely. 511 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: But Patrick Peterson looks like a he man figure to me, Um, 512 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 1: it is impressive. He's got some deeper check out matter 513 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: who you are, check it out online you too. Let's 514 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: head to Miami where, Yes, the Dolvins had a chance 515 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: to move into first place? Did they do it? From 516 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 1: just about the two yard line? Wolves the running back, 517 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: he goes in most of the right back. That's all 518 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: a touchdown hill. There's four for the year. Going backwards 519 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,400 Speaker 1: puts a run on the money. They are having fun. 520 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,440 Speaker 1: Everything you're doing is working right now. Well put Jimmy 521 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: Cephalo w q A M. Everything is working and it 522 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: looks easy for two A Tungo Voloa and the Dolphins offense, 523 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 1: who continued to roll over the opposition to a three 524 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 1: more touchdown passes. That's an every week thing. It's like 525 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: three hundred and three hundred yards, three hundred yards, three 526 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: touchdowns almost every week. Dolpins beat the Browns thirty nine seventeen. 527 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 1: That's four straight wins. For two and they haven't lost 528 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: when two has been the starting quarterback who's played the 529 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: full game. Um, and to talk about this is a 530 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: great friend, a man who we don't need to talk 531 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,320 Speaker 1: about eight packs when we got the pipe here? What's up? Nick? 532 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: How are you? Buddy? And I wish I had an 533 00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:57,200 Speaker 1: eight pack right now? I mean I Kirk Cousins doing 534 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: a pretty good job there with it. Patrick Peterson, I mean, Mark, 535 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: how do you get to that point in your career 536 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: without having that type of body? We do all kinds 537 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 1: of body talk here, Patrick Peterson put them on Mount Rushmore. Oh, 538 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 1: I am with you. I I was happily surprised by 539 00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: what I observed. Very interesting. All right, let's get into 540 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,080 Speaker 1: it now, Shookie again. Like I said, the numbers are 541 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: astounding for ta and I mentioned in the preview show 542 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 1: last week, if he had stayed healthy, they would be 543 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 1: on a record setting pace. Hell, they might get there 544 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:30,640 Speaker 1: anyway by week eighteen, ten touchdowns and zero interceptions since 545 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 1: returning uh in week seven for two. Yeah, you know 546 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people are gonna take this as me 547 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: being a hater, but a lot of those numbers that 548 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 1: they put up could have been prettier visually, and yet 549 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 1: they stand so strong and had at sheet because of 550 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 1: where they are. Thank you Greg. Seven and three. Overall, 551 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: this was their best game of the season to a 552 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: perhaps his best game of his career. He was clinical, 553 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: operating drives with no resistance, with no worry, no fear, 554 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 1: no no hesitation. Go look at the statute from this game. 555 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 1: It wasn't Tyreek Hill for ten and one fifty. It 556 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: was to a hooking up with eight different guys. Trent 557 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: Shurfield almost outgained Tyreek Hill. He had a great touchdown catch. 558 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: Tyreek gets on the board with that touchdown catch that 559 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: we already played. It was spreading the ball all over 560 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: Raheem Moster, Jeff Wilson, both running with authority. They dominated 561 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: the Browns start to finish. The only time the Browns 562 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: were even really in this game was on their opening drive. 563 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,760 Speaker 1: From then on, it was all Dolphins. And this is 564 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: the game that maybe a bit of a believer in 565 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: t A and a definite believer in the Dolphins. They're 566 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: on a roll. They're playing great, complimentary football right now. 567 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: And it's not just throwing the ball. They can run 568 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,920 Speaker 1: it really well to to It just fits in this 569 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: offense and the way that Mike McDaniel has the wide 570 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: receivers getting open form. It's just like, I don't really 571 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 1: I'm over the to a debate to some degree, but 572 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: also because I think that the ground game has been 573 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: an issue in various weeks. The balance, they showed it 574 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 1: a hundred and ninety five yards at five point nine 575 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: yards per Probably, I know it's the Browns, um and 576 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 1: I thought after the Bengals game, maybe the Browns it 577 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: solved some of their defensive isis game was lackable all 578 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: of us who had the until it started, until it's start. 579 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it's just like I think, if this is 580 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,680 Speaker 1: the Dolphins team to get down the stretch with disability 581 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: to move the ball on the grounds through the air, 582 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,479 Speaker 1: they are legit dangerous and can beat bit pretty much 583 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: anyone in season. But I know, we say, I know 584 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,480 Speaker 1: it's the Browns of the Browns, like we said going 585 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: into this game. With the exception of one week either 586 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 1: beating every team or just barely lost, they've been competitive. 587 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: They embarrassed Cincinnati in their previous game, So for the 588 00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: Dolphins to just hammer them here again. Yeah, Jeff Wilson 589 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 1: has been a perfect fit here Shookie seventeen for one 590 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,600 Speaker 1: nine team. I mean, is it is it just that 591 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,000 Speaker 1: this offense is is just so functional right now that 592 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: anything they do seems to work well. Kind of It 593 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: is kind of like that. But you gotta give a 594 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,840 Speaker 1: lot of credit to GM Chris Career who went out 595 00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: there and addressed their need. They knew that Chase Edmonds 596 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: was not a good fitness offense, they weren't getting the 597 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: production from the running and that they needed to be 598 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: the balanced offense that they believe they could be that 599 00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: could really allow toa to maximum mines is production with 600 00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill and with Jalen Waddle. So they go out 601 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 1: they get Jeff Wilson. Suddenly, Mike McDaniel has two former 602 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: running backs from the forty nine is that he knows 603 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: pretty well, and they're both producing really well. They're a 604 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: great one to punch. They're pretty similar. Um, they're not 605 00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: too different. But Jeff Wilson, I'm telling you, man, you know, 606 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,239 Speaker 1: we got to see him in San Francisco once they 607 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: lost Elijah Mitchell, but it wasn't quite what you would expect. 608 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 1: He had some nice runs, but their offense overall was 609 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: kind of struggling. Then they bring in McCaffrey. Suddenly he's 610 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 1: in a secondary role. He's expendable, he goes to a 611 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,680 Speaker 1: place where he's a perfect fit, and it brings this 612 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,560 Speaker 1: offense to a height where now I firmly believe they 613 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: can beat any team. If they play like they did today, 614 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: they can beat anybody. Now their defense is gonna have 615 00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: to play better on a week by week basis, gonna 616 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: have to play a lot like it did today. Get 617 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: after the quarterback, break up passes downfield, they were excellent 618 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:49,480 Speaker 1: secondary multiple attempts to Donovan People's jones broken up by 619 00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: their defensive backs. If they play like this, I'm telling you, guys, 620 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: you gotta watch out. Kind of reminds me of back 621 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: in ten when the Falcons kind of got on a 622 00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: roll about this time in that season, they ran all 623 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: the way to the Super Bowl. Today they looked a 624 00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,480 Speaker 1: lot like that team. And that's a scary team to watch, 625 00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:05,280 Speaker 1: a little bit like last year's Bengals. And I mean, 626 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: I thought it was impressive. I kept checking out the 627 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,040 Speaker 1: box scoring watching the game at the side of my eye, 628 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 1: and like they shut down Cleveland's ground game for most 629 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:13,840 Speaker 1: of this and it was a non factor. I mean, 630 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: Cleveland's a mess to me in a lot of ways. 631 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: I don't think they're the some of their parts on 632 00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 1: offense or defense in terms of the players they have, 633 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: and I feel like they keep getting outcoached week after week. 634 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: It's concerning to see. I mean, Mike McDaniel's totally out 635 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: maneuvered Stefanski in this one. Well, you know who was 636 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 1: on that Falcon staff, uh, Nick, Mike McDaniel. You know 637 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: who was on the Brown staff a couple of years 638 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:41,280 Speaker 1: before that. Mike McDaniel and his coaching makes their offensive 639 00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,640 Speaker 1: line better. I feel like that's the under sold part 640 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,760 Speaker 1: of this whole Dolphins even remember everyone said the Dolphins 641 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: offensive line is terrible to and never gets touched. I 642 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: know the ball is getting out quickly, but now you're 643 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: seeing it in the running game too. And Jeff Wilson 644 00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,440 Speaker 1: is a lot less stiff in the passing game than 645 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:58,280 Speaker 1: most are, and ultimately they're playing mostly on passing downs. 646 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,920 Speaker 1: Wilson in two weeks has passed them and is their 647 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: main back. They did lose Emmanuel Agba for the season today, 648 00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 1: who's one of their highest paid players. They are pretty 649 00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:09,040 Speaker 1: banged up on defense, but that Chub move. Now it 650 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: looks even more important that they got him. Chookie. Miami 651 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 1: scares me. They scare me. They're the real deal in 652 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 1: this division. And the Bills, I know what happened the 653 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 1: last two weeks. The Bills are still the Bills. This 654 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: is a really good division with I think Miami is 655 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: starting to knock on the door of like we might 656 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: be an elite team. We know the Jets are a 657 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 1: team on the rise. The Pats are in the mix. 658 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: This is a very interesting division as we head towards 659 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving and they have a win over the Bills. They 660 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 1: do Chookie one and done for you, baby, Now you 661 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 1: get more time just like the Burgers. All right, buddy, 662 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: love you see your nick. Alright, let's keep moving on 663 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:56,840 Speaker 1: to another big time game. You never count out number 664 00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 1: twelve yard field goal of Champs Mason Crosby for the 665 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 1: wind snip placeman kick his up and here is s 666 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:16,120 Speaker 1: good sir, pis yard dagger Mason Crosby, who's done it 667 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,040 Speaker 1: again into the Cowboys and the Packers have ended the 668 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:26,120 Speaker 1: five game losing screek. A huge win for the Green 669 00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 1: Bay Packers. Wayne Laravie for the on the call w 670 00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: r n W Mason Crosley made the kick in overtime, 671 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: but it was Aaron Rodgers making huge plays all night long, 672 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: including three touchdown passes to rookie Christian Watson. Keep on 673 00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 1: that to keep an eye on that as a potential 674 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: major development for this team and a big connection in 675 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:54,840 Speaker 1: the overtime period. Uh two, Alan Lazard, I believe to 676 00:34:54,960 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 1: set up that field goal Packers thirty one Cowboys and 677 00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 1: um Greggy the Cowboys were in this game, seemed to 678 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: have it in control and it just got away from him. 679 00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: No it did you know? Another lock from ahead for 680 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,400 Speaker 1: me and Mark was along with this one too. I 681 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 1: just checked all of them have given up double digit 682 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,320 Speaker 1: leads in the fourth quarter. That's happened to me twice. 683 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 1: But that is the NFL. Mark and I were talking 684 00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: about it early in the game. I'm like, we'll just 685 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 1: wait till the fourth quarter because nothing matters until then. Anyways, 686 00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,440 Speaker 1: and I thought this was deserved to go to overtime 687 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,279 Speaker 1: because even though the Cowboys got up two touchdowns here, 688 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 1: at no point did they look like the superior team. 689 00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 1: The Packers had a lot of great signs today. You 690 00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:46,160 Speaker 1: mentioned Watson that that's number one Aaron Rodgers played really 691 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,640 Speaker 1: well for for the most part. I think their game 692 00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,760 Speaker 1: plan to stick with the running game uh was smart, 693 00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,560 Speaker 1: and they they played physical, and it just looked like 694 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: two really good teams that should have been just about 695 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: tied the entire game, going blow to blow blow for blow, 696 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,040 Speaker 1: and Dac had a couple of interceptions where maybe on 697 00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,000 Speaker 1: the receivers not running the right routes, and then Dak 698 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,799 Speaker 1: brings them back, and the receivers for the Packers make 699 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,600 Speaker 1: a couple of mistakes and then Rogers brings them back, 700 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,400 Speaker 1: and it just felt like two really good teams, and 701 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: that means it's the best Packers game of the season. 702 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 1: It might have ended basically on a holding call in overtime. 703 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: Dallas was moving the ball really well chunks at a 704 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,320 Speaker 1: time they were in field goal range and a holding 705 00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:29,760 Speaker 1: call backed them up for what was it a second 706 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 1: or in twenty and they didn't recover out of that. 707 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,239 Speaker 1: But that that's football, Danny. That. Yeah, they passed on 708 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: a fourth and four they went forward instead of about 709 00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 1: a fifty five yard field goal, and that came after 710 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,120 Speaker 1: the end of the fourth quarter where the Packers had 711 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: gotten the ball back after a stop and had a 712 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,919 Speaker 1: chance to win the game in regulation and then kind 713 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 1: of like I don't know, they got inside their heads 714 00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:55,839 Speaker 1: a little bit, played that terrible poor play calling, poor 715 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 1: use of the clock, and it gave Cowboys a chance 716 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,239 Speaker 1: to to win the game and overtime. But give Green 717 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: Bay credit their defense without Rashaan Gary, with all the 718 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:07,360 Speaker 1: issues they've had, got the big stops. And this is 719 00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 1: what I was talking about on Thursday, Mark with Rogers 720 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:17,120 Speaker 1: that he Packers they took a message, they took it. Yeah, 721 00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 1: when when he went on McAfee show Rogers and he said, 722 00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,400 Speaker 1: you know I am the back to back reigining m 723 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 1: v P. That really did ring a bell from me, like, oh, 724 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 1: this sets up pretty well for them with their as 725 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:32,240 Speaker 1: a caged animal, wounded deer type game. And that's exactly 726 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: how this ended up playing out. So uh, credit to 727 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 1: Rodgers and the Packers because they saved their season here 728 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,080 Speaker 1: potentially well they did, I mean, we forked them, But 729 00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: in real life they are very much still in the 730 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,359 Speaker 1: mix if they're gonna play like this, and I you've 731 00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,719 Speaker 1: been waiting all year for someone to emerge in the 732 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 1: passing game and Christian Watson it's not perfect eighty eight 733 00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 1: yards all year long until today and showed up in 734 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,920 Speaker 1: the big spot. I do think though they're like Mike 735 00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,719 Speaker 1: McCarthy was freaking out after that one passed the lamb 736 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,759 Speaker 1: on third and four. There was a clear to me, 737 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 1: a defensive pass interference that it's just not called, and 738 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: I you know, little things like that like that. That 739 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 1: was why he slammed it down. You're right, and then 740 00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,120 Speaker 1: it looked like a pretty clear passenger. But I think 741 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:18,279 Speaker 1: they missed that. It was saying like we like we 742 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 1: could be talking about something very different. It's a kind 743 00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: of game where little things like that happened. But again, 744 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,399 Speaker 1: green Bay ran the ball really well. They found something 745 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: in the passing game. If it's like with a lot 746 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 1: of these teams, if this is the version you get 747 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:30,759 Speaker 1: of the Bucks, if this is the version you get 748 00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,839 Speaker 1: of Green Bay the rest of the season, the NFC 749 00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: takes on a bit of a different complexion, right. I 750 00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 1: don't think they made some big statement that they're like 751 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,400 Speaker 1: better than the Cowboys, and they huge They've had the 752 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: wrong side of essentially end of game luck a lot 753 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: this year and now it kind of worked in their favor. 754 00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: But the fact that they went blow for blow and 755 00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 1: the defense. It was like a full team victory. The 756 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: defense you mentioned got three stops in a row at 757 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: the end, so it wasn't just the overtime stop. They 758 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,120 Speaker 1: got two stops in the fourth quarter when I expected 759 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,399 Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Cowboys to be able to run the ball 760 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,000 Speaker 1: and do that for eath quarter. Thing that's happened to 761 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: the Packers defensive didn't happen. I think it is a 762 00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:06,239 Speaker 1: huge statement by the Packers. And listen, they've been so 763 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:08,319 Speaker 1: inconsistent this year. They were in a five game losing 764 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,600 Speaker 1: streak that even with this when there four and six 765 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,440 Speaker 1: and have a lot of work to do Titans and 766 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,399 Speaker 1: Eagles next, we got a nice TNF game. Yeah, you're 767 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,319 Speaker 1: gonna want to say, you gotta get out of there 768 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,319 Speaker 1: with a split. At least if you get swept there, 769 00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,200 Speaker 1: you're you're pretty much close to cook there. So our 770 00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: fork situation that could be still something where we don't 771 00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: sweat out. But at the same time, it's like, I 772 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,279 Speaker 1: think the running game was better, the defense stepped up. 773 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:33,640 Speaker 1: But Rogers, if we're gonna kill him like we killed 774 00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: him last week and he deserved it, you really gotta 775 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,239 Speaker 1: credit him from making big throws in this game, and 776 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,560 Speaker 1: the Watson thing part of the reason why they were 777 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:43,279 Speaker 1: uh three and six going into this game. It's not 778 00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,800 Speaker 1: Watson's fault, He's a second round rookie, but it is 779 00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,880 Speaker 1: that they haven't had that guy that they could connect 780 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,839 Speaker 1: with and and make big plays. So for one leak, 781 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,600 Speaker 1: at least they found him. Let's see if they build 782 00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 1: up right. And the fact that he started the game 783 00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:59,719 Speaker 1: looking like a volleyball player, spiking down multiple throws on 784 00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,200 Speaker 1: their first drive which ruined their first drive, and then 785 00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,000 Speaker 1: he didn't know the ball was coming to him on 786 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 1: another beautiful long pass by Rogers that could have been 787 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 1: a touchdown late in the game. He actually still made 788 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 1: those rookie mistakes, but Rogers kept going to him because 789 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: he's a real dude. If you really look at it, 790 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:17,880 Speaker 1: just those three catches alone. Rodgers only threw twenty passes 791 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,080 Speaker 1: in this play game. He only had six attempts in 792 00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,279 Speaker 1: the first half. He played a close to perfect game, 793 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:25,880 Speaker 1: missed like a couple of reads and that was about it. 794 00:40:25,960 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 1: He played hostess. It ran the ball thirty nine times. 795 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:30,799 Speaker 1: I mean the thing with like I think that Aaron Rodgers. Yes, yes, 796 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: his delivery um verbally during the week and the way 797 00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:35,600 Speaker 1: that you know, even today he was going off on 798 00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,359 Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur big time after that one bust to drive. 799 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,160 Speaker 1: I like, I I do get where he's coming from, 800 00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,560 Speaker 1: though with his frustration. You're a two time m v P. 801 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,240 Speaker 1: You came into the season, they trade away Davante Adams, 802 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,040 Speaker 1: and for two plus months he has been out of 803 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,480 Speaker 1: sync with a wide receiver corps that is young, that 804 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,120 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to kind of jive with their offense or 805 00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,400 Speaker 1: know how to get into into. In the unison with Rogers, 806 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: he after the first touchdown to Watson, which was I 807 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,360 Speaker 1: think sixty some one yards, they showed, you know, the 808 00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,920 Speaker 1: classic cut to Rogers after the throw and he kind 809 00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:07,919 Speaker 1: of like threw his hands up like it's not that hard, 810 00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 1: like help me out here. I'm gonna keep putting on 811 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,720 Speaker 1: you help me, help you. And in this case, everyone 812 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 1: helped out and the Packers save their season for one 813 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,400 Speaker 1: Sunday at least. Let's move on to another game that 814 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,279 Speaker 1: Greg says is in the conversation is the greatest game 815 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:27,200 Speaker 1: of the year, no regrets. Let's his on. Giants get it, 816 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 1: Jones gets hit, throws it left caught by slaying one's 817 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:31,520 Speaker 1: out of a tackle. He's got a first down of 818 00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:38,760 Speaker 1: the forty getting upside fifteen time five tuck down Giants 819 00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:45,799 Speaker 1: slifty four yards and a third and nine her point, 820 00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 1: I thought we were doing that. Yeah, I don't think 821 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,000 Speaker 1: referenced this a Game of the year off. I don't 822 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: remember you said tell be smirched my name with this 823 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:59,400 Speaker 1: Texas trash plays. Apologies Bob Papa with a call on 824 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,960 Speaker 1: w f A. And yes it was Darius Slayton with 825 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:08,040 Speaker 1: the fifty four yard touchdown, but it was se Kwan Barkley, 826 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,960 Speaker 1: who again was the bell cow for the human who 827 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:15,600 Speaker 1: ran for a hundred and fifty two yards on thirty 828 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:23,319 Speaker 1: five carries. That's a career high over the morabund Houston Texans. 829 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,799 Speaker 1: That's one, but it's not the last. Sessler, your thoughts 830 00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,759 Speaker 1: on this one. You are correct about the moribunds on 831 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 1: the Texans, That is true Giants, though I mean coming 832 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,759 Speaker 1: out there by this was sloppy early on, and I 833 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,320 Speaker 1: what I loved about it was you got the Brian 834 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,719 Speaker 1: Dable like nucleus exploding and he's a very active coach 835 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,040 Speaker 1: on the sideline. And there was a series where early 836 00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:50,560 Speaker 1: on Animated, it was fourth and one and an offensive line, 837 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:52,040 Speaker 1: and you know, he's all over the offensive line to 838 00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 1: try to recrap that thing, and it's all he goes 839 00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: off sides and it blows up the chance to go 840 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,600 Speaker 1: for it on fourth and one and Tables just on 841 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,360 Speaker 1: the on the sideline screaming at the higher bunch. Later on, 842 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: there was a fourteen yard punt from the fourth and 843 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:08,240 Speaker 1: twenty three from the Houston forty, which had Table throwing 844 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 1: his head set down. They put they try to put 845 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 1: Kenny Gollady out there for some reason, who was an 846 00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 1: absolute disaster. I don't That's been one of the worst 847 00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,640 Speaker 1: freas of our life. Jump in one second on that one, 848 00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:22,879 Speaker 1: because I love when uh I love when roadal world 849 00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 1: just gets feisty. Yeah, around this time of year and 850 00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,839 Speaker 1: their their headlines, uh n y g call and Kenny 851 00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,439 Speaker 1: Golladay goes off for one drop in Giants way, get 852 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,800 Speaker 1: a terrible drop and it's just like bang out of 853 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,920 Speaker 1: the lineup. But they did get their act together and 854 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: it had a lot to do with their defense. And 855 00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,320 Speaker 1: I know you're playing the Texans, but the Texans, I 856 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 1: will say one thing. You can call him moribund, but 857 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,600 Speaker 1: they do find ways to stick around in these games. 858 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,399 Speaker 1: We saw it a little bit against the Eagles, which 859 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 1: should have just blown their doors off. But in this 860 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 1: one they at one point they're down to ten. They 861 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 1: mined down to New York Giants ten and the Giants 862 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,880 Speaker 1: get a fumble off Damian Pierce. That was huge. I 863 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:01,239 Speaker 1: mean just it basically kind of took the air out 864 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:06,000 Speaker 1: of the Texans balloon. If there's there's there one seven 865 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 1: and one team, we're gonna get to five and a 866 00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,880 Speaker 1: half or four and a half. The over not looking good, right. 867 00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 1: You know, like when you're my son Harrison just had 868 00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: his birthday, and you know, when there's a milar balloon 869 00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:18,920 Speaker 1: that you purchased for way too much money, and then 870 00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 1: it's the party happens, but you don't want to throw 871 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,920 Speaker 1: out the balloon because you paid damn fourteen dollars for it. Um, 872 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,319 Speaker 1: So it stays in the kid's room and then three 873 00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 1: weeks later you realize it's still there, but now it's 874 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 1: on the floor or it's like a foot and a 875 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,440 Speaker 1: half off the ground. No, it's on the ground. It 876 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,840 Speaker 1: does have it's like it's in a launch period. Technically, 877 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,360 Speaker 1: It's still a balloon, but no longer what it once was. 878 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,200 Speaker 1: A depressing state for that balloon. I mean they got 879 00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:45,439 Speaker 1: mills on an on an interception in the end zone 880 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 1: on the next drive. They just they did what they 881 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:51,279 Speaker 1: needed to do. It's a typical ascension balloon. I don't know. 882 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,719 Speaker 1: Was it feeling bad about itself in my children's bedroom. No, 883 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:56,239 Speaker 1: I think it was close to the end of its 884 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 1: I think I think a depressing that balloon would be 885 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,080 Speaker 1: a good sound draft. Just because you delivered it with 886 00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:06,000 Speaker 1: the vigor of a professional broadcast, You're welcome anything else 887 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:07,800 Speaker 1: from this game. Mark, that really jumped out to you 888 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 1: because as someone that I will be watching it for 889 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 1: power rankings reasons, Um, I feel like this is exactly 890 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,440 Speaker 1: what I would expect it here, sae Quan would get 891 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,719 Speaker 1: the ball a ton, they'd find ways get a couple 892 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 1: of touchdowns of Houston when it scoring enough points, and 893 00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:22,359 Speaker 1: the Giants get that seventh win and kind of leaves 894 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:23,719 Speaker 1: you a little bit. I know you're a bigger fan 895 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,200 Speaker 1: Mark of the Giants and they um, but like kind 896 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:28,160 Speaker 1: of like do we think about the Giants now? This 897 00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:30,080 Speaker 1: is this is their identity. I mean, they pulled out 898 00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,720 Speaker 1: the win. Um. I think they did it with good coaching, 899 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 1: with with their main stars sort of showing up the 900 00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,400 Speaker 1: best they could. Uh. It was if you were to 901 00:45:37,480 --> 00:45:40,080 Speaker 1: dream of this game at night before it occurred, and 902 00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,120 Speaker 1: you would have dream realistically, this would be the dream 903 00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 1: that you would have dreamed. They mean, hey, they covered. 904 00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,800 Speaker 1: They gotta just win these They gotta win these games 905 00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,319 Speaker 1: that they're supposed to win and they will be going 906 00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,080 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. They are now in second place in 907 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,719 Speaker 1: the NFC East. Were still waiting for the Eagles to 908 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: to play Monday night, but now they're a game ahead 909 00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 1: of the Cowboys who are three back potentially Eagles. It's 910 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:04,000 Speaker 1: just you keep stacking up these winds and it's very close. 911 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:05,759 Speaker 1: I want to just close by saying this is and 912 00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:07,680 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to denigrate with the Giants have done. 913 00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,480 Speaker 1: It is pretty amazing that Brian Dabele has this team 914 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,480 Speaker 1: at seven and two. I don't care what they're who, 915 00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,360 Speaker 1: They've beaten. That is the greatest coach of the materials. 916 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 1: With the way they vote for that. One quick thing 917 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:21,719 Speaker 1: is thirty five carries for Barkley. That lot is outrageous. 918 00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 1: They had a third not outrageous. But they had a 919 00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 1: thirty one carry game for him earlier in the year 920 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,439 Speaker 1: and then at thirteen the next week, so maybe they'll 921 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 1: be conscious of it. But the history of players having 922 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:34,359 Speaker 1: injuries after thirty plus type games when they're not named 923 00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:36,960 Speaker 1: Derrick Hendry and they're really given Daniel Jones seventeen through 924 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:40,600 Speaker 1: I mean attempts in this game, that nothing running back 925 00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 1: who is known for getting injured. Keep an eye on that. 926 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,840 Speaker 1: Give Matt Britos, I'm carries, you'd still beat the Texans. 927 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:50,719 Speaker 1: And now Greg Rosenthal's submission for greatest game of the 928 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,440 Speaker 1: season ever ever. Here we go, boys, let's get off 929 00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:58,120 Speaker 1: the field. There's the shotguns. Snap the fields. He's back 930 00:46:58,239 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 1: fields looking feels pressed. Keep hard. He's going down. No, 931 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:07,440 Speaker 1: he stayed up. He's going down. Oh yes, this is fun. Jane, 932 00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 1: Oh rise, holy yarm. Julian finally took it down. Oh 933 00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:22,160 Speaker 1: my goodness. I've never seen anything like that. Oh yeah, life, 934 00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: and you've seen anything like this. You're right. The team 935 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 1: of back, Baby, We're back. Turn up alf being the 936 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:46,839 Speaker 1: team team singer, Greggy deep tee singer Mark only how 937 00:47:46,920 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 1: he's that dealer. I ain't like the team. I don't like. 938 00:47:55,760 --> 00:48:05,600 Speaker 1: He's like, oh, hey, listen, part I don't like this 939 00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,319 Speaker 1: caption that I that I suggesting that I quit on them. 940 00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:12,360 Speaker 1: I just I was I was disappin. On the YouTube 941 00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,399 Speaker 1: copy of this, it says, hey, many multiple platforms, very 942 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:18,200 Speaker 1: many platforms. This is why you don't quit on the 943 00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:19,800 Speaker 1: team of a t L will tell yourself that I 944 00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:21,839 Speaker 1: didn't quit on them. I just was disappointed in them. 945 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,439 Speaker 1: Weeks on. I was trying to get him excited during 946 00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,360 Speaker 1: this game too, and he was like, well I do. 947 00:48:26,480 --> 00:48:28,960 Speaker 1: I kind of like Justin Fields, and that's fine. Just 948 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,680 Speaker 1: a superstar. And that's why this is one of the 949 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:37,440 Speaker 1: candidates for the Games of the Year because Justin Fields 950 00:48:37,640 --> 00:48:39,840 Speaker 1: lit it up. He does everything in this game. Ad 951 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,600 Speaker 1: didn't say what happened in the game, Hey hang on, 952 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,560 Speaker 1: that was the big stop by the Detroit Lions defense, 953 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 1: the much brelined Detroit Lines defense, and a game where 954 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,759 Speaker 1: Justin Fields again pounding on the door of the superstar club. 955 00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 1: Not yet, Son, because the Lions and Dan Campbell get 956 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:58,960 Speaker 1: to stop win thirty one thirty. I think there's a 957 00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,399 Speaker 1: p A T. Sian involved here, Greg, and you're gonna 958 00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,600 Speaker 1: tell us about Okay, there is the table set. We 959 00:49:04,640 --> 00:49:07,719 Speaker 1: got a little carried away. I I get carried away 960 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,240 Speaker 1: when I talk about the three and six Bears versus 961 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 1: the two and six Lions. It doesn't get any bigger 962 00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 1: than that. NFC North action on real grass. They're trying 963 00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,960 Speaker 1: to play us on artificial turf. Check out those injuries 964 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,360 Speaker 1: not happening in Chicago. They just did a They just 965 00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:27,880 Speaker 1: did a you know, don't be don't be a company 966 00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,919 Speaker 1: man there. Literally that's the data. This was a beautiful game. 967 00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,239 Speaker 1: A fourteen point come back by the Lions, so improbable 968 00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 1: because it wasn't just a fourteen point come back in 969 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,960 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. It was one where the Bears started 970 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter with the ball, and to that point 971 00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:46,120 Speaker 1: in the game, the Lions defense had created one stop 972 00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 1: that Justin Fields just had them in a torture chamber. 973 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,960 Speaker 1: Every time that they thought that they had him, he 974 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,120 Speaker 1: scrambles out and gets a touchdown. He did it scrambling 975 00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 1: on a third down. He did it on third downs 976 00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,360 Speaker 1: throughout the game. But he also had a ton of 977 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:02,960 Speaker 1: great throws. And because of the run game, they would 978 00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,719 Speaker 1: just bite on the play action and leave guys wide open, 979 00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:08,919 Speaker 1: and they didn't know anything. They didn't have any clue 980 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:10,719 Speaker 1: of what to do, and yet in the fourth quarter, 981 00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,920 Speaker 1: you gotta give the Lions defense credit for forcing a 982 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 1: three and out, for getting a pick six where pressure 983 00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:20,520 Speaker 1: and Aidan Hutchinson in the way of the receiver made 984 00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 1: Justin Fields frizz out and throw a terrible pick six. 985 00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:27,239 Speaker 1: Right after that, Justin Fields gets that sixty two yard run. 986 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 1: Then I'm sure our listeners have have seen that was incredible. 987 00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,960 Speaker 1: But after a couple more stops, including that one to 988 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,520 Speaker 1: end the game, meanwhile, just Jared Goff is doing his 989 00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,600 Speaker 1: Jared Goff fourth quarter thing and making plays, and this 990 00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:43,160 Speaker 1: Lions team for the second straight week. Look, if if 991 00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,680 Speaker 1: Dan Campbell's ever gonna turn his career around, this is 992 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:50,000 Speaker 1: how it would look at home against the Packers in 993 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:51,880 Speaker 1: a game that felt like you shouldn't have won. On 994 00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 1: the road against the Bears down to not in, this 995 00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,320 Speaker 1: is how it would look. It was. It was stirring. 996 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:01,640 Speaker 1: It was I don't like I don't like to do 997 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:03,399 Speaker 1: this on the show, but sometimes there's a lot going 998 00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,360 Speaker 1: on on the Sunday. I don't know this. I just 999 00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 1: saw a couple of tweets from angry Bears fans that 1000 00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,759 Speaker 1: they said, the officials played a major role in how 1001 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,759 Speaker 1: this game closed it. Did you sense anything officiating wise 1002 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:17,560 Speaker 1: that was fishy? I need some more specifically on which 1003 00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,439 Speaker 1: plays they're calling. I mean, they could have their kicker hidden. 1004 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,440 Speaker 1: Next they're just crying in their milk. I'm sure there 1005 00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,279 Speaker 1: was some questionable call at some point. All right, so 1006 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:28,640 Speaker 1: there you go. We'll never get that time back. Oh no, 1007 00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:34,280 Speaker 1: who is this speaking of missed extra points? That banged 1008 00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,560 Speaker 1: to me in a big spot? Locked up the Bears 1009 00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,880 Speaker 1: justin fields against this defense was everything I expected until 1010 00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:44,719 Speaker 1: the final drive attempt to go win the game, and 1011 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:47,680 Speaker 1: then they lost. The locks that hurt the worst are 1012 00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 1: the ones where they're in your back pocket and you 1013 00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,920 Speaker 1: even move on with your day two touchdown late in 1014 00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:57,840 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, I'm like, and it happened to you? Sorry, 1015 00:51:57,920 --> 00:51:59,960 Speaker 1: justin the witching hour, got me? Yeah, you didn't lose 1016 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,279 Speaker 1: is any ground? Though nobody lost ground? Some credit for 1017 00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,480 Speaker 1: Jared Goff here, though, I was about to make this 1018 00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:09,160 Speaker 1: whole thing of like two This is like a perfect 1019 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 1: example of Stone Age ponies versus like the new NFL. 1020 00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:14,839 Speaker 1: That's what it looked like through three quarters. But Goff 1021 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:17,240 Speaker 1: was just hanging back there. This Bears defense is terrible. 1022 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,840 Speaker 1: They created no pressure and he hung back there and 1023 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:21,719 Speaker 1: made a lot of good throws. In the fourth quarter 1024 00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,520 Speaker 1: of Monroe st Brown with over a hundred yards, Jamal 1025 00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:26,960 Speaker 1: Williams with with some big runs at the end, and 1026 00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:29,480 Speaker 1: yet Golf is in his final swan song as a 1027 00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,520 Speaker 1: starter in Detroit. I would I would imagine and the Bears. 1028 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,239 Speaker 1: I don't really get the Bears fans. You could be 1029 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:35,879 Speaker 1: annoyed with the refs. You want to win these games, 1030 00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,120 Speaker 1: you want to hang around in the NFC. You've got 1031 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,840 Speaker 1: something special, You've got a feature. I mean, if anything, literally, 1032 00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,759 Speaker 1: it's another one of these things that four weeks ago 1033 00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:47,400 Speaker 1: justin Fields was viewed. I think widely is sort of 1034 00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,920 Speaker 1: a bottom seven quarterback in the league. And everything has 1035 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:54,160 Speaker 1: changed right to everything's changed. Some of my favorite plays 1036 00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,759 Speaker 1: from him today where when the rush got there and 1037 00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:58,880 Speaker 1: he kept his eyes downfield and it looked like he 1038 00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,000 Speaker 1: was gonna run and then may a really nice throw. 1039 00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:02,759 Speaker 1: He's doing it all. I mean, they ran for two. 1040 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 1: They're like a Bear's dream. And so they set that record. 1041 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,719 Speaker 1: They became the first team in NFL history to do 1042 00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:10,799 Speaker 1: that five weeks in a row. That two d plus 1043 00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:14,400 Speaker 1: mark that the seven seventies six Steelers held that mark previous. 1044 00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:16,600 Speaker 1: Felt has a rushing in a passing touchdown in five 1045 00:53:16,640 --> 00:53:18,759 Speaker 1: straight games. He also has the most rushing yards in 1046 00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,040 Speaker 1: the history of the NFL and in a five game stretch. 1047 00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 1: For any quarterbacks, you don't get into the superstar club 1048 00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:28,560 Speaker 1: without a really good resume and team success as well. 1049 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,120 Speaker 1: But what he's doing right now I think as a 1050 00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,320 Speaker 1: passer yet though, I don't think. I think it's just 1051 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,919 Speaker 1: that his overall game puts them and puts them there. Mark, 1052 00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:40,439 Speaker 1: will you going forward give the Lions your full heart? 1053 00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,000 Speaker 1: I see, here's the thing. Like you in Hard Knocks, 1054 00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,440 Speaker 1: you can't even give a yes or no answer. Actually, totally, Mark, 1055 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:50,720 Speaker 1: totally support what the Lions are. I think Dan Campbell 1056 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,799 Speaker 1: is totally enjoyable. Going back to Hard Knocks, I absolutely 1057 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,920 Speaker 1: adored them. I was just simply disappointed them in them 1058 00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,880 Speaker 1: the way you would be with a child. Yes or no? 1059 00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,160 Speaker 1: Will give them your heart? Yes, I give them my heart. 1060 00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,680 Speaker 1: They already had ever stopped talking. Greg, It is just 1061 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,239 Speaker 1: another fabricated narrative on this on this show. This one 1062 00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,759 Speaker 1: is not fabric No, it is fabricated. I do like 1063 00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:17,399 Speaker 1: other teams that may be regretted. You know, the let's 1064 00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,880 Speaker 1: finish strong, Lions. Let's take a break heart here, Lions. 1065 00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:27,720 Speaker 1: All right, let's keep the good times rolling, arrowhead checking 1066 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,520 Speaker 1: down gold to go with the six Chiefs are spread 1067 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:36,960 Speaker 1: now my homes far as quick touchdown turns city. Fourth 1068 00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:42,680 Speaker 1: touchdown pass by Patrick Mahomes, this time to Kelsey his buddy, 1069 00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,759 Speaker 1: for seven yards and sweet nectar the end zone in 1070 00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 1: the Chiefly. I love it. I love when Niche holt 1071 00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:53,960 Speaker 1: Is hits us with a sweet nectar. Great job by 1072 00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:58,319 Speaker 1: the radio guys today, Great job by justin everyone behind 1073 00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:02,000 Speaker 1: the glass every week. The work that's being done behind 1074 00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:07,400 Speaker 1: the glass does not go overloads. It's pretty good. W 1075 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,920 Speaker 1: D A f and Patrick Mahomes through for three one 1076 00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:14,440 Speaker 1: and touchdown passes the four different receivers, the Chiefs offense 1077 00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,920 Speaker 1: nearly five hundred yards, three turnovers too, and the end 1078 00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:25,160 Speaker 1: win over the Jags. Um. Seeing some talk out there 1079 00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:27,000 Speaker 1: that was a good quarterback play on both sides in 1080 00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,040 Speaker 1: this game. I would agree with that. And uh one 1081 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:32,840 Speaker 1: of the turnovers was on a kick return to end 1082 00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:34,920 Speaker 1: the second half, and it was a reminder like how 1083 00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:36,600 Speaker 1: many things have to go right? To beat the Chiefs. 1084 00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,000 Speaker 1: In the first half of this game, the Jaguars had 1085 00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,600 Speaker 1: a couple turnover, they forced a couple of turnovers, and 1086 00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:44,920 Speaker 1: they had a successful on site kick to start the game. 1087 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 1: They stole three possessions and they were down seven at 1088 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:52,200 Speaker 1: half time this fight, stealing three possessions. Both quarterbacks were great, 1089 00:55:52,239 --> 00:55:54,239 Speaker 1: but only one of them was was Patrick Mahomes, and 1090 00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,000 Speaker 1: only one of them his coached by Andy Reid, who 1091 00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,200 Speaker 1: kind of had it all over. Doug Peterson just Doug 1092 00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,200 Speaker 1: Peterson play a little cautious despite that up on side kick, 1093 00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,640 Speaker 1: he decided to punt in multiple situations where he should 1094 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,279 Speaker 1: have gone for How do you do that? How do 1095 00:56:07,320 --> 00:56:10,400 Speaker 1: you go from inside kicking he started game to playing conservative. 1096 00:56:11,960 --> 00:56:15,520 Speaker 1: It was crazy, just like the routes that in the 1097 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,920 Speaker 1: route combinations that the Chiefs had just had the Jaguars 1098 00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,120 Speaker 1: scrambling where it felt like they almost won this game 1099 00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,360 Speaker 1: before it even started. Where were we with the I 1100 00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,560 Speaker 1: know you picked this largely because Tony Romo was operating 1101 00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:32,160 Speaker 1: the color broadcaster. What happened with him fawning over plastic Mahomes. 1102 00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:34,680 Speaker 1: It was one of my safe bets on the Friday fight. 1103 00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:36,560 Speaker 1: I'm so glad you asked I have this little note 1104 00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,880 Speaker 1: card things to talk about. I circled Romo plus and 1105 00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,200 Speaker 1: what that means is I think Romo has his fastball back, 1106 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:44,799 Speaker 1: or at least he did today. He made a lot 1107 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,880 Speaker 1: of really incisive comments about the development of Trevor Lawrence 1108 00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:52,719 Speaker 1: on some of that he didn't see Trevor Lawrence that 1109 00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,239 Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, you're you're teaching me something here. 1110 00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,320 Speaker 1: He talked about the way that Kelsey was running his 1111 00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,160 Speaker 1: routes and Juju smiths Uster how Juju is kind of 1112 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 1: getting how Patrick Mahomes thinks that don't run it like 1113 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:07,520 Speaker 1: it's written up on the textbook, start adjusting in the 1114 00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:09,080 Speaker 1: way Mahomes wants to. And he had a couple of 1115 00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 1: great examples with Juju and Travis Kelsey that we're both 1116 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:14,880 Speaker 1: big plays, and I think we're one of the reasons 1117 00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:18,480 Speaker 1: why this game never felt that closet. You mentioned Tony 1118 00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:22,360 Speaker 1: Romo in his eyes, the eyes Patrick Mahomes, how Mahomes 1119 00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:25,520 Speaker 1: just dominating this game with his eyes the new Tony 1120 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:30,320 Speaker 1: Romo and my eyes is Mark Sanchez, and he will 1121 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:34,760 Speaker 1: be on our show on Tuesday. Mark Sanchez on Around 1122 00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,600 Speaker 1: the NFL Tuesday so getting these incredible guests tune in 1123 00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:41,360 Speaker 1: for that. How about this Darius Tony touchdown. He's catching 1124 00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:44,400 Speaker 1: the ball, he's running the ball. We've talked about why 1125 00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:47,320 Speaker 1: he potentially can be a big time fit in this 1126 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,439 Speaker 1: offense once he gets reps. Did you see you're seeing 1127 00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:51,760 Speaker 1: some of that in this game. It was only a 1128 00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,040 Speaker 1: couple of plays, but you can see his athleticism. The 1129 00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,680 Speaker 1: run after the catch that he made, not on the 1130 00:57:56,760 --> 00:58:00,520 Speaker 1: touchdown was just outrageous. He just and he just skied 1131 00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:02,560 Speaker 1: high for another catch. And I guess it was like 1132 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 1: three different places that letticism. And they might need it 1133 00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:09,360 Speaker 1: more because Juju Smith Schuster got hit in the helmet 1134 00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,919 Speaker 1: in one of the craziest non penalty calls of the year. 1135 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:17,720 Speaker 1: They didn't give a intentional or roughing, but threw the 1136 00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:21,240 Speaker 1: flagon picked it up and it was like helmet that 1137 00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,200 Speaker 1: we both both watched that replay. It's like what can 1138 00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:27,480 Speaker 1: compelled them to pull the flag off the turf? And 1139 00:58:27,520 --> 00:58:30,760 Speaker 1: then it was Andre Cisco the Jacks, not either right. 1140 00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,560 Speaker 1: Cisco the Jaguars was taken out the entire receiver group. 1141 00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,320 Speaker 1: He then took out Valda Scantling on a play where 1142 00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:39,360 Speaker 1: it looked like he kind of launched himself and scant 1143 00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,280 Speaker 1: Valda scantly did end up returning, and that one was 1144 00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:44,840 Speaker 1: a little more borderline. But the Chiefs should have been uh, 1145 00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,480 Speaker 1: the chief should have been unhappy. Jaguars fans gotta be happy. Though. 1146 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,240 Speaker 1: These were two great games by Lawrence in a row. 1147 00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,000 Speaker 1: You I know, you set me up to start there. 1148 00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,600 Speaker 1: For the most part, he played outstanding and had four 1149 00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:56,760 Speaker 1: or five just beautiful throws in this game. So another 1150 00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:58,320 Speaker 1: nice That's like all you want to see from the 1151 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:00,200 Speaker 1: Jaguars at this point in the season. Maybe I mean 1152 00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,480 Speaker 1: they're they're they're not a playoff team at all, but 1153 00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,800 Speaker 1: like a definitive growth from Trevor Lawrence to go in 1154 00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:07,680 Speaker 1: the next off season. They got two dudes, him and 1155 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:09,640 Speaker 1: the E t N and Kirk is a great slot 1156 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,280 Speaker 1: receiver signing like that would ended up being a good signing. 1157 00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:14,360 Speaker 1: And the Chiefs are now seven and two. They get 1158 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:16,480 Speaker 1: the Chargers next week. They take care of business there. 1159 00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,960 Speaker 1: That division looks like it's going their way. Their number one. 1160 00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,680 Speaker 1: I think how recently that last game of the year 1161 00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:25,000 Speaker 1: was against Buffalo. That was kind of the game of 1162 00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:27,320 Speaker 1: the year. People were China say and think so. And 1163 00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,520 Speaker 1: they were down a game and the tiebreaker, and now 1164 00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:33,360 Speaker 1: they're up on the Bills. Uh. Speaking of the playoffs, 1165 00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,120 Speaker 1: the number one seed last year, the Tennessee Titans. They've 1166 00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:39,000 Speaker 1: been on a roll. They look to keep it, keep 1167 00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:44,360 Speaker 1: it going against the Broncos. Wilson under pressure, stepping up 1168 00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:49,600 Speaker 1: track down field. It's Tippen intercepted by Mitchell, who takes 1169 00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:52,520 Speaker 1: a knee at the lawn. Now let's take that one hole, 1170 00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,480 Speaker 1: get out of here by it scanning for a flag, 1171 00:59:55,800 --> 01:00:00,760 Speaker 1: I am not finding one tight. We're gonna win this 1172 01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:04,840 Speaker 1: football game. But with the limit seconds to go, all right, 1173 01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:08,000 Speaker 1: there we go. So we got two we's today and 1174 01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:12,640 Speaker 1: now we got a lets let us two Weason and us. 1175 01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,680 Speaker 1: They are literally team employees, like a Super Bowl ring 1176 01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:18,680 Speaker 1: if if they win, I enjoy them leaning into it. 1177 01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:23,600 Speaker 1: I have no issue with it. It's something in the 1178 01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,160 Speaker 1: New York media they were taught not to do so. 1179 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,600 Speaker 1: If you're from that land area of the country, you 1180 01:00:29,640 --> 01:00:31,280 Speaker 1: didn't hear it as much, but you hear it all 1181 01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:33,520 Speaker 1: over the place. I think it's nice. Mike Keith with 1182 01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:37,880 Speaker 1: the call w g f X, Yes, Terrence Mitchell had 1183 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:41,680 Speaker 1: the interception to ice the game and Ryan Tannehill, who 1184 01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,240 Speaker 1: they're rolling. They lost last week, but I think that's 1185 01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:48,000 Speaker 1: six out of seven now for the Titans who take 1186 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,320 Speaker 1: care of business against the Broncos. Seventeen ten wasn't easy. 1187 01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:54,000 Speaker 1: They rallied back from a ten point deficit to do it. 1188 01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:57,720 Speaker 1: Tannehill obviously on the bed ankle um and you could 1189 01:00:57,720 --> 01:00:59,680 Speaker 1: see it. He was limping after one scramble. But he 1190 01:00:59,760 --> 01:01:02,720 Speaker 1: made a couple of big passes, uh touchdown passes on 1191 01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,840 Speaker 1: a day where Derrick Henry was unable to get going 1192 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,440 Speaker 1: at all. Uh So that is a that is a 1193 01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:11,320 Speaker 1: good sign for the Titans that they can win a 1194 01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:14,560 Speaker 1: game when Henry does nothing. In Tannehill, I thought played 1195 01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:18,480 Speaker 1: very well. It's bringing the grave digger. Uh And when 1196 01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 1: I say he played very well, it's not gonna statistically, 1197 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,000 Speaker 1: it's not gonna jump out at you. But I thought, 1198 01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:26,720 Speaker 1: given the fact that clearly he's not a pent and Denver, 1199 01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:30,919 Speaker 1: even without you know, Bradley Chubb anymore, this is still 1200 01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,160 Speaker 1: a good defense that was playing well. I thought he 1201 01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,960 Speaker 1: really muscled up, including at the end of the half 1202 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,280 Speaker 1: of that big touchdown pass that kind of changed things. Yeah, 1203 01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,040 Speaker 1: Tannehill put together a great two minute drive with Henry 1204 01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:43,840 Speaker 1: Bareley on the field for that for that drive, drove 1205 01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:45,600 Speaker 1: him all the way down the field and and threw 1206 01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,520 Speaker 1: a dot to Nick westbrook Akina in the back of 1207 01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:49,920 Speaker 1: the end zone to make it ten seven at halftime, 1208 01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:53,440 Speaker 1: and then he had the huge play to to get 1209 01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,480 Speaker 1: to fourteen with the flea flicker touchdowns also to Nick 1210 01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:59,000 Speaker 1: westbrog Aquina, who really stepped up and had a career 1211 01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:02,360 Speaker 1: game five catches, hundred nineteen yards and two touchdowns after 1212 01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:06,200 Speaker 1: a week after the Titans receivers all combined for zero catches. 1213 01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:09,120 Speaker 1: So obviously Tannehill being back is a huge part of that, 1214 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,240 Speaker 1: but also guys stepping up and making plays helped a lot. 1215 01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,920 Speaker 1: Traylon Burkes was back for this game, but this game 1216 01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:18,960 Speaker 1: also featured a combined total of seventeen punts between the 1217 01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:22,080 Speaker 1: two teams. Gonna be a tough games. This is the 1218 01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:26,040 Speaker 1: recipe for a forty five minute game pass and this 1219 01:02:26,200 --> 01:02:28,520 Speaker 1: game ended like a lot of games had already gone 1220 01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:30,360 Speaker 1: final in this game still had like five minutes left 1221 01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,920 Speaker 1: in the fourth quarters. Yeah, the Titans, you know, they 1222 01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:34,960 Speaker 1: gave the Broncos a chance in the fourth quarter to 1223 01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,840 Speaker 1: bring Malik Willis on the field and a key third 1224 01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:41,800 Speaker 1: down play that leads to a fumbled snap which gave 1225 01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:45,240 Speaker 1: the Broncos life. And yet and this isn't breaking news, 1226 01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,760 Speaker 1: but you know, it is so hard to watch. You thought, 1227 01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:51,000 Speaker 1: maybe a bye week and the chance to reset, and 1228 01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:55,320 Speaker 1: maybe Russ gets healthy, maybe the different version of the 1229 01:02:55,360 --> 01:02:58,720 Speaker 1: Broncos offense shows up. But Wilson was just completely under siege. 1230 01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:01,640 Speaker 1: Great job by the front seven of Tennessee, obviously, but 1231 01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:03,800 Speaker 1: there's also a lot of stuff going on here with 1232 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,440 Speaker 1: the Denver offense. It just seems to me that Wilson, 1233 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:08,840 Speaker 1: and again this is everyone seeing this, but you watch 1234 01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,200 Speaker 1: it and it's just it's glaring when you think about 1235 01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,360 Speaker 1: what Denver gave up to get him, and how in 1236 01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:16,280 Speaker 1: deep they are. That he's a beat or two or 1237 01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,240 Speaker 1: three slow to recognize pressure and he doesn't seem to 1238 01:03:19,280 --> 01:03:23,720 Speaker 1: have the athleticism Russell Wilson to escape, in addition to 1239 01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 1: accuracy issues. He's said, it's kind of it's just he's 1240 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:27,960 Speaker 1: not a very good quarterback right now. And I don't 1241 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,360 Speaker 1: know what they do about this. That's the bigger concern 1242 01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:32,240 Speaker 1: for me. It's just like, wait a minute, this isn't 1243 01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:34,800 Speaker 1: a just now thing. Potentially it could be who Russell 1244 01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:37,280 Speaker 1: Wilson is going for. They lost Jerry Judy. That did 1245 01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:39,240 Speaker 1: not look good. It looked like an achilles. When it 1246 01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,880 Speaker 1: happened on the first series of the game, they said 1247 01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,400 Speaker 1: it was an ankle, and Ian rap report reported that 1248 01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:47,320 Speaker 1: it's not an achilles, but it looked pretty bad. Judy 1249 01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,120 Speaker 1: in the locker room said he hopes he might even 1250 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:53,400 Speaker 1: just be a low ankle sprains. Yea. The fact that 1251 01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:55,240 Speaker 1: they come back from the by and then in the 1252 01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,560 Speaker 1: second half of the game have five punts in an interception. 1253 01:03:57,840 --> 01:03:59,920 Speaker 1: It's like Judy gets hurt in the first for eight 1254 01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,120 Speaker 1: on third down in the second half. The Broncos were 1255 01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:04,640 Speaker 1: but also they came into this game without their starting 1256 01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:08,400 Speaker 1: right tackle Cam Fleming and their starting center Lloyd Cushionberry whatever. 1257 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:13,680 Speaker 1: The Titans were down seven defensives literally seven defensive but 1258 01:04:13,760 --> 01:04:17,120 Speaker 1: then they also lost Billy Turner and Graham Glasgow, their 1259 01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:19,760 Speaker 1: backup center and their backup right tackle, and so they 1260 01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:23,200 Speaker 1: were down to Thursday hit a rookie third string center 1261 01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:26,360 Speaker 1: snap in the ball and he They had multiple mishandled 1262 01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:29,240 Speaker 1: snaps in the fourth quarter after this guy important that 1263 01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:32,720 Speaker 1: you say that justin um but also when you give 1264 01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:35,120 Speaker 1: up what you did to get Russell Wilson, he's supposed 1265 01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:37,280 Speaker 1: to lift your team up a little bit and they 1266 01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:39,760 Speaker 1: get down to the red zone in that final minute, 1267 01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:41,920 Speaker 1: and I think it just says so much that I 1268 01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,520 Speaker 1: know you're you're a fan of the team involved, so 1269 01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:47,200 Speaker 1: it might be different from you. I had no comminants 1270 01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,600 Speaker 1: at all that it was gonna end with a touchdown 1271 01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:51,840 Speaker 1: for the Broncos, just because we've seen it too much 1272 01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,240 Speaker 1: this season, and I just want to play something, Mark, 1273 01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:56,360 Speaker 1: and I want you to react to this from Nathaniel Hackett, 1274 01:04:56,760 --> 01:05:00,760 Speaker 1: who he knows his job is in danger right now. Uh, 1275 01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:03,160 Speaker 1: and he knows why his job is in danger. And 1276 01:05:03,240 --> 01:05:05,520 Speaker 1: I wonder at what point he is going to start 1277 01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:09,200 Speaker 1: pushing back on It's all on me? Who else should 1278 01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,720 Speaker 1: you be blaming here? It's another close game, another one 1279 01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:14,280 Speaker 1: score game, and we feel like, you know, the defense 1280 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,320 Speaker 1: stepped up to the challenge with Derrick Henry. I I 1281 01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,400 Speaker 1: give our defense so much credit, and I mean the 1282 01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:21,520 Speaker 1: offense has to find a way. We're one s course 1283 01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,240 Speaker 1: each time. And I think what you're what you're pointing 1284 01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:25,760 Speaker 1: to a little bit there is that this has to 1285 01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,320 Speaker 1: be a fractured locker room. And if you're Nathaniel Hackett. 1286 01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:32,040 Speaker 1: The one thing we've heard from players, guys like when 1287 01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:34,320 Speaker 1: you talk to mg D other stuff, it's like coaches, 1288 01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:36,280 Speaker 1: the first time head coach has to come in with 1289 01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:39,320 Speaker 1: a special trait. It's really unclear. In fact, it's clear 1290 01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:41,480 Speaker 1: to see that Nathaniel Hackett is not offering a special 1291 01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:44,040 Speaker 1: trait right now. And the players in these meetings week 1292 01:05:44,080 --> 01:05:46,320 Speaker 1: after week, you just start to lose him. Well, what 1293 01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,520 Speaker 1: what I'm saying when I think he's saying there, and 1294 01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:51,720 Speaker 1: of course who knows. But the offense has to find 1295 01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:53,680 Speaker 1: a way. I think he's saying, Russell Wilson has to 1296 01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:56,480 Speaker 1: find a way. Help me, help me man, because we 1297 01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,080 Speaker 1: need we need you. We're throwing you. You need to 1298 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,200 Speaker 1: save us be as you were supposed to save us 1299 01:06:01,240 --> 01:06:02,920 Speaker 1: the season. The way thing is, though, therek you could 1300 01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,400 Speaker 1: point to, especially early on the year, five games in 1301 01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:09,520 Speaker 1: a row where coaching decisions and coaching management sunk the team. 1302 01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:12,760 Speaker 1: He should issue he should be they're giving up less 1303 01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:16,840 Speaker 1: than seventeen points a game and they're three and six. 1304 01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:21,920 Speaker 1: All right, Let's move to Sophie Stadium where the Rams 1305 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:26,240 Speaker 1: and a battle of backup quarterbacks same old problems popping up. 1306 01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,640 Speaker 1: McCoy drops back and throwing deep ball left side and 1307 01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:33,680 Speaker 1: a one handed chat's by Ron del Moore. What a 1308 01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:47,040 Speaker 1: dime by col McCloy. Incredible grab by Ron Dale Moore dropped. Yes, 1309 01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,840 Speaker 1: oh what a day for the radio cruise. Dave passed, 1310 01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:53,960 Speaker 1: but that was Ron wolf Ley. Yeah, Mr, it's a 1311 01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:59,480 Speaker 1: dewey leaf our sunlight, moonlit night. I don't know. He's 1312 01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:03,200 Speaker 1: the best k m v P. We highlighted that we 1313 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:07,200 Speaker 1: all watched together in the newsroom because Colton McCoy hung tough, 1314 01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:10,040 Speaker 1: came back from a bang dumb knee earlier in the 1315 01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:12,480 Speaker 1: game and then delivered that strike on fourth down to 1316 01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:16,400 Speaker 1: Rondel Moore that basically put this game away. Seventeen. The 1317 01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:20,200 Speaker 1: Cardinals beat the Rams here in l A across the sidewalk, 1318 01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:24,080 Speaker 1: and uh, let's start with the Cardinals. Um, even though 1319 01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:25,800 Speaker 1: I believe the Rams are the more intriguing story, you 1320 01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:28,240 Speaker 1: gotta give him credit. They took care of business here. 1321 01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,480 Speaker 1: Rams team that was playing with John Wolford at quarterback, 1322 01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:33,640 Speaker 1: but it was Kyler Murray out with a hamstring Mark 1323 01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:38,400 Speaker 1: Um and he uh gets replaced by Colt McCoy, who 1324 01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:40,040 Speaker 1: does the job and leads his team to a win. 1325 01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,480 Speaker 1: Cult McCoy did this last year. He came in and 1326 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,720 Speaker 1: he's just I'm not I know that when I'm around 1327 01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:46,880 Speaker 1: you guys, I'm like a huge Colt McCoy. Guy named 1328 01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:50,200 Speaker 1: my child Colt after Colt McCoy date based on stuff 1329 01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:51,760 Speaker 1: from a long time ago when he was on the Browns. 1330 01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:54,240 Speaker 1: Here's the thing, Like he comes in, he's just solid. 1331 01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:57,520 Speaker 1: Here the chemistry that Kyler was showing with DeAndre Hopkins 1332 01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:01,320 Speaker 1: transferred to Colt McCoy. Uh, the A J. Green who 1333 01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:05,600 Speaker 1: was essentially vanished from the atmosphere uh this season suddenly 1334 01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:07,760 Speaker 1: making big catches with Cult McCoy. So he just came 1335 01:08:07,800 --> 01:08:09,880 Speaker 1: in and did what you need a backup quarterback to do, 1336 01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:11,840 Speaker 1: which is not really what John Wolford did. And I 1337 01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,360 Speaker 1: think if you're the Rams, you're a burning house right now. 1338 01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:16,160 Speaker 1: This is a big problem. Well, we we get on 1339 01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 1: cliffs so much for not providing an advantage. I mean, 1340 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,800 Speaker 1: this is kind of a coaching game, and the Cardinals won. 1341 01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:26,000 Speaker 1: You could you could down like I get it. I'm 1342 01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:30,880 Speaker 1: just saying they had lost to John Wolford would be 1343 01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:32,599 Speaker 1: the flip side. The point is it's like they threw 1344 01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:35,360 Speaker 1: the ball eleven straight times to start the game. They 1345 01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:38,160 Speaker 1: showed a lot of confidence in McCoy there with the 1346 01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:40,679 Speaker 1: fourth down, and they like threw the ball the whole game. 1347 01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:44,240 Speaker 1: They ultimately had the better looking offense, and I was 1348 01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:46,960 Speaker 1: disappointed by the Rams defense. I I did not expect 1349 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,000 Speaker 1: the Rams defense to allow twenty seven points to Arizona. 1350 01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 1: I know the Ram offense contributed to that, but ultimately 1351 01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:57,200 Speaker 1: Colt McCoy led them on three really long touchdown drives. 1352 01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:00,960 Speaker 1: I that Jonathan Vilma was all over it. He was like, 1353 01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:03,920 Speaker 1: even when the Rams are making big plays on defense 1354 01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:07,519 Speaker 1: and getting off the field, they're not that excited. That 1355 01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:09,800 Speaker 1: like gonna talk about bad vibes in the locker room 1356 01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:12,240 Speaker 1: right that, Like they don't think their backup quarterback is 1357 01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:14,320 Speaker 1: gonna make any place. Even when they make a big play, 1358 01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:17,920 Speaker 1: they're not celebrating. I mean, listen, it's unbelieved. We talked 1359 01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:20,120 Speaker 1: about going into this game, like, oh, Matthew Stafford might 1360 01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:21,960 Speaker 1: not play with the concussion, But you know, how much 1361 01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:24,600 Speaker 1: more of a downgrade could it be. I'll point to 1362 01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,920 Speaker 1: Cooper cup stat line today three catches for negative one 1363 01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:31,320 Speaker 1: yards on five targets. The last target, a throw sailed 1364 01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:34,320 Speaker 1: out of bounds, that Cup gives everything he has to 1365 01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:36,720 Speaker 1: grab in the second half, gets rolled up on and 1366 01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:40,320 Speaker 1: what looks like a bad potential lower leg ankle injury. 1367 01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:43,000 Speaker 1: Um looked like a guy that was gonna miss significant 1368 01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:46,040 Speaker 1: time potentially. We'll see what happens, what we learned in 1369 01:09:46,080 --> 01:09:48,760 Speaker 1: the next twenty four hours. But yeah, you take Cup 1370 01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:50,640 Speaker 1: out of the mix and there's just nothing there. And 1371 01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:53,720 Speaker 1: like on the Friday Fun Show, just because first of all, 1372 01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, it's well documented. I'm not a fan of 1373 01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,439 Speaker 1: this Cardinals regime or this team, and I thought the 1374 01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:00,680 Speaker 1: Rams would have some type of muscle memory to keep 1375 01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:04,719 Speaker 1: their season interesting here and namely they're big name players 1376 01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,240 Speaker 1: like Aaron Donald to step up and have a big game. 1377 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,960 Speaker 1: And I look again, Aaron Donald nowhere to be seen 1378 01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:14,160 Speaker 1: in the statute one QB hit. And it's just this 1379 01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:17,000 Speaker 1: team is not They've no showed. Let's face it, the 1380 01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,720 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams have no showed this season coming off 1381 01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:22,479 Speaker 1: their Super Bowl win, and you're seeing it week after week. 1382 01:10:22,520 --> 01:10:24,679 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of empty seats in this building. 1383 01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,960 Speaker 1: In December, there were booze raining down. It's so far today, 1384 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:29,960 Speaker 1: which is this is a team that you know is 1385 01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:32,240 Speaker 1: months removed from having won the Super Bowl. I think 1386 01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:34,720 Speaker 1: the frustration is at peak levels. I will say this 1387 01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,040 Speaker 1: about one little thing about Cult McCoy too. I know 1388 01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:42,000 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray is an incredible talent, but they're the characteristic 1389 01:10:42,080 --> 01:10:46,479 Speaker 1: of that offense has been well, I'm just gonna say 1390 01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:49,560 Speaker 1: Pault McCoy is someone that came in and ran a 1391 01:10:49,680 --> 01:10:56,160 Speaker 1: cleaner ship today, cleaner offense from a long time Cardinals 1392 01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:58,880 Speaker 1: writer who is like, I think this is the offense 1393 01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:01,519 Speaker 1: Cliff ones to run, which I think that says more 1394 01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:04,000 Speaker 1: about Cliff, if that's even true. And then I thought, wait, 1395 01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:06,799 Speaker 1: this is the offense Cliff has been running five yards 1396 01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:09,880 Speaker 1: per per attempt. They didn't go over three yards on 1397 01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:11,479 Speaker 1: the on the play. You're right, you didn't make. But 1398 01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:14,240 Speaker 1: it wasn't any different the Rams offense wasn't even that 1399 01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:16,599 Speaker 1: much difference that. The surprising thing here is that, yeah, 1400 01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:19,880 Speaker 1: the Rams defense got over and um, you know, guys, 1401 01:11:19,880 --> 01:11:22,160 Speaker 1: because something they come to mind because they're playing together 1402 01:11:22,400 --> 01:11:26,439 Speaker 1: behind p J. Walker right now. But Sam Donald Baker Mayfield, 1403 01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:28,800 Speaker 1: you could look as you spin forward in your career 1404 01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:31,360 Speaker 1: and look at Gino Smith is maybe the North star 1405 01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:33,760 Speaker 1: after what he's been doing doing this year long time 1406 01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:36,240 Speaker 1: backup has his moment. But you know what, you could 1407 01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:40,360 Speaker 1: also calibrate this. Go for Colt McCoy, play twelve to 1408 01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:43,240 Speaker 1: fourteen years in this league, make three to five million 1409 01:11:43,280 --> 01:11:45,960 Speaker 1: dollars a year, have a couple of good moments every year, 1410 01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:50,920 Speaker 1: and then that pension and that notoriety and the private jets. 1411 01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,920 Speaker 1: It stays in your life for years and years, and 1412 01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:57,880 Speaker 1: wearing tears down and he's last year. He's doing it 1413 01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:01,920 Speaker 1: right now. Become a Hard Knock storyline this week. I mean, 1414 01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:05,519 Speaker 1: they'll be a little more interesting this week. Now, I'll 1415 01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:09,280 Speaker 1: let you guys cover this. You guys should do a 1416 01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:12,920 Speaker 1: Hard Knocks podcast. Taking this personal because he's not doing 1417 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:14,920 Speaker 1: a podcast. He's like, how dare they do it? In 1418 01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:17,360 Speaker 1: season one? No, I was I would. They asked me 1419 01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:20,120 Speaker 1: to do the podcast, and I said, I'm not really 1420 01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:21,880 Speaker 1: interested in this team, and then there's a lot going 1421 01:12:21,880 --> 01:12:24,040 Speaker 1: on in the league right now. But it doesn't mean that, 1422 01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:27,040 Speaker 1: you guys, we could couldn't do it. Let's see what 1423 01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:29,559 Speaker 1: the next episode brings it would it would be him 1424 01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:32,200 Speaker 1: in That's a yes. It would be an absolutely flawless 1425 01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:34,960 Speaker 1: production to start two weeks into Hard Knocks. Let's let's 1426 01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,400 Speaker 1: pencil Greg and Mark in for when do we wrap 1427 01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:41,320 Speaker 1: up the Tuesday taping usually about one o'clock. Just roll 1428 01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:45,240 Speaker 1: straight into a Hard Knocks hard Now let's stress with 1429 01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:48,040 Speaker 1: a pencil. Not by the way, I thought you're going 1430 01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:50,080 Speaker 1: to break out the more of an l A Rams 1431 01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:53,559 Speaker 1: because this was a fork off to me. I think 1432 01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:55,479 Speaker 1: I think we got away with it this week, but 1433 01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:57,960 Speaker 1: it's coming for I think this was death and they 1434 01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:01,479 Speaker 1: got forked. Alright, let's take a break and we'll be Rebeck. 1435 01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:06,680 Speaker 1: Welcome back. The Colts were buried all week for their 1436 01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,960 Speaker 1: decision to can Frank Reich and moved to Jeff Saturday 1437 01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:13,520 Speaker 1: every Sunday. Let's see how it all started for Saturday 1438 01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:18,519 Speaker 1: on Sundays, it's confusing the town field into the end, 1439 01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:21,280 Speaker 1: so it's broken up by the cult by stuff on 1440 01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:26,799 Speaker 1: Kilmore till dant Adams. The intended receiver had no flags 1441 01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,439 Speaker 1: on the plane and the raiders have turned it over 1442 01:13:29,560 --> 01:13:33,000 Speaker 1: run downs. But und minutes ago, oh my god, that's 1443 01:13:33,040 --> 01:13:36,840 Speaker 1: good on good right there, and we wanted yeah, we 1444 01:13:37,160 --> 01:13:42,479 Speaker 1: did win. That's three weeks bingo. We got one to 1445 01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:47,280 Speaker 1: three hat tricks for Weeze and an us Matt Taylor 1446 01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:51,280 Speaker 1: and Rip Venturry Venturry with the big we there off 1447 01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:54,439 Speaker 1: the top turn buckle out of nowhere macho man style 1448 01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:59,559 Speaker 1: w f N. I yes, Matt Ryan got his job back. 1449 01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:02,960 Speaker 1: That was random, uh this morning? And then he said, Okay, 1450 01:14:02,960 --> 01:14:05,479 Speaker 1: I might as well play well because probably going to 1451 01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:07,519 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame, and I'm better than the eleender guy. 1452 01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:11,240 Speaker 1: Maybe you shouldn't be in the league. Everything I said, 1453 01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:17,599 Speaker 1: it's the final scoring Colts over the moribund Las Vegas 1454 01:14:17,760 --> 01:14:21,160 Speaker 1: Raiders in their building. I mean, are you kidding me? 1455 01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:27,000 Speaker 1: Mark Sesler? You were emotionally invested in this game. You're 1456 01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,200 Speaker 1: a fan of chaos and the cults. From one week 1457 01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:33,280 Speaker 1: at least, UH proved the doubters wrong. I mean, this 1458 01:14:33,400 --> 01:14:37,280 Speaker 1: game was bathed in ultra chaos. I don't I can't 1459 01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:41,200 Speaker 1: really remember witnessing something like this from a from a 1460 01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:44,640 Speaker 1: thing where everyone all week long, like you said, just 1461 01:14:44,800 --> 01:14:47,560 Speaker 1: looked at the Colts and said, you clowns, What a 1462 01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:50,439 Speaker 1: clown show, What a clown car you've become. And then 1463 01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:54,479 Speaker 1: suddenly days later, Jeff Saturday, who was on ESPAN a 1464 01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:57,800 Speaker 1: week ago, is winning a game as head coach of 1465 01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:01,040 Speaker 1: the cults and they actually looked fun optional today compared 1466 01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:03,880 Speaker 1: to weeks past. Now you you pointed it out, I mean, 1467 01:15:04,000 --> 01:15:09,320 Speaker 1: Jeff Saturday arrives and suddenly Matt Ryan's starting it totally. 1468 01:15:09,560 --> 01:15:12,639 Speaker 1: Frank Reich has gotta be. Frank Reich's sitting home getting paid. 1469 01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:14,920 Speaker 1: But from Frank Reich has got is a man of pride. 1470 01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:16,519 Speaker 1: We know that, Like, I mean, he put his heart 1471 01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:20,320 Speaker 1: into this job, and he's watching Matt Ryan play good 1472 01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:26,200 Speaker 1: football with a healthy Jonathan Taylor looking like Jonathan Taylor, right, 1473 01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:28,920 Speaker 1: I mean, just it's they. I will say this though, 1474 01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:31,320 Speaker 1: from the flip side, from the Saturday part of this, 1475 01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:33,880 Speaker 1: I wanted to see, like, if you're gonna come in 1476 01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:35,920 Speaker 1: out of nowhere, you've been nothing but a high school coach, 1477 01:15:35,960 --> 01:15:39,440 Speaker 1: you're a television analyst. You've got mere days to organize 1478 01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,720 Speaker 1: a coaching staff that had fired the ROC, fired the 1479 01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:46,120 Speaker 1: quarterbacks coach. You hand the offense over to Parks Frasier, 1480 01:15:46,360 --> 01:15:49,439 Speaker 1: a thirty year old. Like what this had the this 1481 01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:52,120 Speaker 1: had the chance to be an epic disaster. Instead, I 1482 01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:54,599 Speaker 1: will say, like they kept cutting the Parks Frasier up 1483 01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:56,639 Speaker 1: in the booth, and you can tell he's a little underwater. 1484 01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:02,840 Speaker 1: Of course we all he's doing something different this time. 1485 01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:05,760 Speaker 1: He is calling the best cults offensive show of the year. 1486 01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:08,360 Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, like, it's kind of incredible and 1487 01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:11,040 Speaker 1: probably a little embarrassing to a lot of people that 1488 01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:15,040 Speaker 1: the Cults in this situation, this was functional Saturday, seemed 1489 01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,640 Speaker 1: totally in control emotionally, uh, and they won. Well. I 1490 01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:20,840 Speaker 1: think you could be two things. I think everything last 1491 01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,200 Speaker 1: week was kind of a clown car for the Raiders, 1492 01:16:23,680 --> 01:16:25,560 Speaker 1: for the Cults, the way they handled certain things. But 1493 01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:28,040 Speaker 1: at the same time, it's like, hey, these guys are 1494 01:16:28,040 --> 01:16:31,200 Speaker 1: all professionals, and and if you cannot sleep on one 1495 01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:33,960 Speaker 1: of the reasons why someone that is super plugged in, 1496 01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:36,120 Speaker 1: like a Zach Kiefer for the Athletic was like, I 1497 01:16:36,200 --> 01:16:38,240 Speaker 1: think maybe his team has one winning it because the 1498 01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:42,479 Speaker 1: organization is so strange and out of control right now. 1499 01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:45,840 Speaker 1: That they went from having Ellinger as the quarterback on 1500 01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:49,920 Speaker 1: Friday to Matt Ryan back after we were told like 1501 01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:52,920 Speaker 1: very specifically that he will not be the quarterback again 1502 01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:55,760 Speaker 1: about four weeks ago. You put Matt Ryan back in, 1503 01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:57,840 Speaker 1: a guy that I think if he's not an Hall 1504 01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:00,320 Speaker 1: of Famer Greg, he is right on the cups. A 1505 01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:04,040 Speaker 1: former m v P. We discussed, um, it really changes things, 1506 01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:06,200 Speaker 1: and I think it's it's kind of a disgraceful look 1507 01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:09,840 Speaker 1: quite honest, honestly for the Raiders to get beat in 1508 01:17:09,880 --> 01:17:12,960 Speaker 1: the spot and what the season mark is just crashed 1509 01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:15,120 Speaker 1: for this team. Well, it's just I you do look 1510 01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:17,040 Speaker 1: at a team that you don't have Darren Waller, you 1511 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:19,680 Speaker 1: don't have Hunter Renfro. It's so much more than that, though, 1512 01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:21,519 Speaker 1: it is, but you've lost a bunch of you. There 1513 01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:24,599 Speaker 1: are like legit parts of this roster that are a mess. 1514 01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,519 Speaker 1: Derek Carr, like did not play. He played a good game. 1515 01:17:27,600 --> 01:17:30,360 Speaker 1: He at one point had thirteen straight completions, ten in 1516 01:17:30,400 --> 01:17:32,320 Speaker 1: a row on a drive that finished with a touchdown. 1517 01:17:32,439 --> 01:17:34,799 Speaker 1: They kept coming back and like he and Davante Adams, 1518 01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:37,040 Speaker 1: we've seen this before. They got electric for you know, 1519 01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:39,960 Speaker 1: fifteen sixteen minutes in a row, and they got enough 1520 01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,240 Speaker 1: from Josh Jacobs where they had a chance to win 1521 01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:45,120 Speaker 1: this game. But I don't think there's anything about the 1522 01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:48,160 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels experience right now that is anything other than 1523 01:17:48,200 --> 01:17:51,400 Speaker 1: a mess. We just saw Josh McDaniels hugging Jeff Saturday 1524 01:17:51,479 --> 01:17:54,280 Speaker 1: at midfield and McDaniels was to be thinking myself, how 1525 01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:56,920 Speaker 1: the hell did I get here. Jeff Saturday, who as 1526 01:17:56,920 --> 01:17:58,600 Speaker 1: an analyst a couple of weeks ago we mentioned this, 1527 01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:03,000 Speaker 1: tweeted the Raiders basically sucks. It was an analysis was great. 1528 01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:06,080 Speaker 1: You're saying, like, people must be embarrassed. You know, people 1529 01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:08,600 Speaker 1: who went hard on the Colts this week are like 1530 01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:10,599 Speaker 1: almost annoyed that they won this game. You know who 1531 01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:14,080 Speaker 1: also might be quarterbacks coach of the Colts, Scott Milinovitch, 1532 01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:17,160 Speaker 1: who turned down the offensive coordinator job because he thought 1533 01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:19,000 Speaker 1: he was putting him in a bad spot. That's what 1534 01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:22,240 Speaker 1: our guys Ian Rappaport and Tom Ploceero reported. They weren't 1535 01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:24,680 Speaker 1: going to revise his contract either, and he was like no, 1536 01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:26,640 Speaker 1: but here he is out on the field and you 1537 01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:28,680 Speaker 1: must be watching this be like maybe I should have 1538 01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:33,800 Speaker 1: um on the other side. Uh. We were told that 1539 01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,200 Speaker 1: Derek Carr was very emotional. None of us have heard this. 1540 01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:38,840 Speaker 1: After the game, here's a car had to say two 1541 01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:42,839 Speaker 1: and seven the Raiders out more bunt. Sorry for being emotional. 1542 01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:48,240 Speaker 1: I'm just piste off. This is some of the things 1543 01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:52,160 Speaker 1: you know that a lot of us trying to do 1544 01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:56,200 Speaker 1: just to practice. Well, we put our bodies through just 1545 01:18:56,280 --> 01:19:09,400 Speaker 1: asleep at night mhm. And for that to be the 1546 01:19:09,479 --> 01:19:16,320 Speaker 1: result of all that effort. This is me off oof. 1547 01:19:16,600 --> 01:19:18,719 Speaker 1: I feel for car he seems like a good dude. 1548 01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:22,400 Speaker 1: He's caught and there's a lot of criticism around this team. 1549 01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:26,439 Speaker 1: He deserves some of it. Um, but two and seven 1550 01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:29,200 Speaker 1: this was not the plan. And to lose to this 1551 01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:32,240 Speaker 1: Colts team with like you're saying, Mark and greg Um, 1552 01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:34,479 Speaker 1: it's kind of like the low point in what's been 1553 01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:37,800 Speaker 1: a really low season in general. You couldn't create a 1554 01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:42,400 Speaker 1: season to make you more emotional and upset if you 1555 01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:44,719 Speaker 1: are a Raiders, because it's not like they've just looked 1556 01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:46,679 Speaker 1: like the worst team. Think about some of these games 1557 01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:49,360 Speaker 1: they've had. They had the twenty to nothing lead against 1558 01:19:49,479 --> 01:19:53,439 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. They had the Titans game that they blew 1559 01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:55,360 Speaker 1: right at the end. They had the Chief Scheme where 1560 01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:57,280 Speaker 1: they on Monday Night Football, they they look like they 1561 01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,880 Speaker 1: play amazing and go into Arrowhead and then blow it 1562 01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,519 Speaker 1: at the very end. They get shut out in New Orleans, 1563 01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:05,280 Speaker 1: which is this incredibly deflating. They had the seventeen point 1564 01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:08,560 Speaker 1: lead that they blew a week ago to the Jaguars, 1565 01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:11,040 Speaker 1: and then you have losing to Jeff Saturday. I mean, 1566 01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:15,559 Speaker 1: that is a torture chamber. That is the worst season. Um, 1567 01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:19,040 Speaker 1: and Mark, you're you were very excited. You're Amanda agent 1568 01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:22,760 Speaker 1: of chaos, allow the joker in the dark night. Um, 1569 01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:27,200 Speaker 1: I'm not looking to create that. I was not. Um. 1570 01:20:27,800 --> 01:20:31,320 Speaker 1: I thought the cults deserved whatever they had coming until 1571 01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:35,160 Speaker 1: for me. It hit a pivot point this morning on 1572 01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:40,040 Speaker 1: CBS is Pregame Show, when the Great Bill Kawer shared 1573 01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:45,960 Speaker 1: a long prepared monologue that ended, thus, lee for an 1574 01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:49,800 Speaker 1: owner to horror coach who's never been an assistant at 1575 01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:55,640 Speaker 1: the college level or the pro level and overseeing a 1576 01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:59,080 Speaker 1: very much a lot of candidates. They are qualified for 1577 01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:01,519 Speaker 1: that job, as we I and Steve Wilkes an opportunity 1578 01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:05,160 Speaker 1: to build a resume. It's a disgrace to the coaching 1579 01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:08,680 Speaker 1: profession in regardless of how this thing plays on. What 1580 01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:14,720 Speaker 1: happened Indianapolis is a traves to and like not disagree 1581 01:21:14,840 --> 01:21:18,800 Speaker 1: with everything there, but it's just like serious football man 1582 01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:23,200 Speaker 1: has serious takes on a very serious issue. It's just football. 1583 01:21:23,560 --> 01:21:25,719 Speaker 1: The owner gets to do whatever the hell he wants. 1584 01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:29,120 Speaker 1: The owner liked Saturday and I understand, but like, are 1585 01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,960 Speaker 1: we all crying in our beer because John Fox didn't 1586 01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:34,640 Speaker 1: get another chance to do the head coaching thing in 1587 01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:38,720 Speaker 1: the NFL. Bill, calm down, everybody, relax, it's just And 1588 01:21:38,800 --> 01:21:41,920 Speaker 1: also Jeff Saturday is like, this is not someone with 1589 01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:44,280 Speaker 1: zero football experience in life. I guess it was a 1590 01:21:44,360 --> 01:21:46,559 Speaker 1: totally out of the box higher but like the one, 1591 01:21:46,640 --> 01:21:49,160 Speaker 1: the drumbeat from the minute he got there was like, wait, 1592 01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:51,479 Speaker 1: this guy, we like this guy. This guy's good. Good 1593 01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:55,200 Speaker 1: with us here. Um if if either Dan or I 1594 01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:57,519 Speaker 1: I would be more annoying. Was sitting next to Bill 1595 01:21:57,600 --> 01:21:59,479 Speaker 1: Cower as he was saying that and laughing like we 1596 01:21:59,560 --> 01:22:01,800 Speaker 1: were on the show like that would have made for 1597 01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,640 Speaker 1: some good TV. That would have been Yes, perhaps, I 1598 01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:06,800 Speaker 1: mean those are like he would have punched that. That 1599 01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:09,760 Speaker 1: was like like you can put like Walter Cronkite reading 1600 01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:13,240 Speaker 1: the bullet news flash from Dallas next to Bill Kawer 1601 01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:15,600 Speaker 1: and Derek Carr right now, you wouldn't tell what's the 1602 01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:19,200 Speaker 1: most serious situation except they were like tons of people 1603 01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:21,760 Speaker 1: saying similar things all week. I know, but it's just 1604 01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:24,960 Speaker 1: the way Bill said, no, the delivery separate, like a 1605 01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:28,120 Speaker 1: dad that's mad at you for bringing home a bad 1606 01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:31,040 Speaker 1: report card. You think that this goes anywhere. That's just 1607 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,200 Speaker 1: like as a one one week fun thing. Well, I mean, 1608 01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:35,439 Speaker 1: I think what goes somewhere is if Matt Ryan's going 1609 01:22:35,479 --> 01:22:38,360 Speaker 1: to play the way he did today and Jonathan Jonathan 1610 01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:42,920 Speaker 1: Taylor season Taylor was excellent today. All right, let's wrap 1611 01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:47,519 Speaker 1: up the early games with a trip to the field 1612 01:22:47,600 --> 01:22:52,759 Speaker 1: formerly known as Hines from ten getting the gun, Andy 1613 01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:59,400 Speaker 1: Dolton gets their snap. He's back because the Cults fired 1614 01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:06,320 Speaker 1: their head, yes and hired the ESPN. That would have 1615 01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:10,800 Speaker 1: been amazing if he started crying and he shall be 1616 01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:17,080 Speaker 1: called le By shut it down about it? A right 1617 01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:20,320 Speaker 1: nice play there to seal it by the Pittsburgh d 1618 01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:23,800 Speaker 1: Bill Hill Grove and Craig Wilkeley the call w D 1619 01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:28,280 Speaker 1: V E can He Pickett and George Pickens ran for 1620 01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:32,040 Speaker 1: one yard touchdowns and the defense with T. J. Watt 1621 01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:37,439 Speaker 1: back shut down the Saints ten. Watt still believes they 1622 01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:38,760 Speaker 1: have a chance to make a run at three and 1623 01:23:38,800 --> 01:23:43,800 Speaker 1: the six. Maybe probably not, but mark Um it was 1624 01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:45,560 Speaker 1: nice to see them get in the wind calm and 1625 01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:48,439 Speaker 1: the Saints are just a mess this year. Saints are 1626 01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:52,080 Speaker 1: a mess. Pittsburgh has been a mess. They've been tough, 1627 01:23:52,120 --> 01:23:54,479 Speaker 1: to watch. But I think two things happen today for Pittsburgh. 1628 01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:57,479 Speaker 1: Their ground game, which has been um I think one 1629 01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:00,400 Speaker 1: of the root causes of why you know Nny pick 1630 01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:02,160 Speaker 1: It's been put into a tough spot passing the law 1631 01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:04,680 Speaker 1: because you don't buy their ground game. Nagy Harris has 1632 01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:07,880 Speaker 1: not been good today. They just started. They exploded. They 1633 01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:10,280 Speaker 1: have not had a run all year long going into 1634 01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:13,000 Speaker 1: today of more than twenty yards. They had four of them. 1635 01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:16,200 Speaker 1: It was Naji Harris with a titanic thirty six yard 1636 01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:19,120 Speaker 1: run pick it ran for two of them over twenty plus. 1637 01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:21,960 Speaker 1: He is good on the ground and Jalen Warren end 1638 01:24:21,960 --> 01:24:23,640 Speaker 1: the game with a twenty one yard run on the 1639 01:24:23,680 --> 01:24:26,640 Speaker 1: flip side. Andy Dalton just had a classic sort of 1640 01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:29,519 Speaker 1: late game Andy Dalton melt down. He had a meltdown. 1641 01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:31,960 Speaker 1: I mean this defense. They had t J. Watt back 1642 01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:34,080 Speaker 1: and the changed the game right away. There are different 1643 01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:37,559 Speaker 1: defense obviously, but guys like demonte Cazi has not played 1644 01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:40,080 Speaker 1: at all, had a huge pick of Andy Dalton. Uh. 1645 01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:42,800 Speaker 1: Andy Dalton was stuffed on downs on a big fourth 1646 01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:45,880 Speaker 1: down attempt at sneak that that went nowhere. Levi Wallace 1647 01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:47,720 Speaker 1: ended the game with an interception so when you get 1648 01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:49,800 Speaker 1: that version of Andy Daltons, he still makes you know, 1649 01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:51,479 Speaker 1: he still throws the ball well, and I think it's 1650 01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:54,840 Speaker 1: like it's not just him. But they really couldn't get 1651 01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:58,479 Speaker 1: anything going with Alvin Kamara. Uh Landry was back, Jarvis Landry, 1652 01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:01,080 Speaker 1: Chris LaVey does wonderful things, but when any Dalton's gonna 1653 01:25:01,080 --> 01:25:04,840 Speaker 1: give you those interceptions and that meltdown content um pits 1654 01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:06,880 Speaker 1: a team like Pittsburgh with what they have their defense 1655 01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:08,960 Speaker 1: to care of them. The Saints had ten first downs. 1656 01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:13,800 Speaker 1: It looked like the Steelers. I know J. T. J. 1657 01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:17,040 Speaker 1: Watt was back, but they also had ten penalties. I 1658 01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:19,240 Speaker 1: think they had a pre snap penalty before they had 1659 01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:21,800 Speaker 1: a play, which is just their season. They are so 1660 01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:24,639 Speaker 1: injured too right now, so it's a combination of things. 1661 01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:28,000 Speaker 1: I think they're really poorly coached and they're incredibly injured 1662 01:25:28,400 --> 01:25:30,280 Speaker 1: and well so great to your point, they had a 1663 01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:32,960 Speaker 1: new left tackle, left guard, and center in there, and 1664 01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,080 Speaker 1: I think that caused a lot of problems right on 1665 01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:38,200 Speaker 1: defense too. They were just like they're just losing role 1666 01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:41,040 Speaker 1: players and Pete Werner, my guy was gone to and 1667 01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:43,760 Speaker 1: just like Callowey, just a lot of guys were out, 1668 01:25:43,840 --> 01:25:48,439 Speaker 1: but they're sloppy and you talk about buying with Hackett. 1669 01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:51,320 Speaker 1: It's weird that there really are a few one and 1670 01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:54,880 Speaker 1: done coaches, you know, the last decade, and yet we've 1671 01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:59,920 Speaker 1: got four Canadons. Love, E, d A and McDaniels are 1672 01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:02,920 Speaker 1: all at least conversations right now. And to me, I 1673 01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:06,240 Speaker 1: think the Saints might be the most likely and has 1674 01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:08,920 Speaker 1: the potential to just get the ugliest movie, because it 1675 01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:11,120 Speaker 1: also feels like almost like an interim higher. It's not 1676 01:26:11,200 --> 01:26:12,720 Speaker 1: like we went and went out and got this guy 1677 01:26:12,760 --> 01:26:14,479 Speaker 1: that we see as our dude for the next four years. 1678 01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:16,439 Speaker 1: It's like one and done check relating. I mean they 1679 01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:18,680 Speaker 1: they were talking him up as a guy that they 1680 01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:21,880 Speaker 1: really believed in. I thought, when when the job changed hands, 1681 01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:24,880 Speaker 1: I wonder if if the old guy would potential be 1682 01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:26,400 Speaker 1: back in the mix. I don't think he's going to 1683 01:26:26,520 --> 01:26:29,479 Speaker 1: come back to this. He does, we'll have a lot 1684 01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:32,040 Speaker 1: of time for that. But he could go to a 1685 01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:34,559 Speaker 1: two and done l a Chargers team potentially. Hey, at 1686 01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:37,439 Speaker 1: least the Steelers won a football game. The Steelers did 1687 01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:39,640 Speaker 1: get a w And how did Kenny Picket look in 1688 01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:41,960 Speaker 1: this game? Really up and down? I just don't think 1689 01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,280 Speaker 1: he reads the field really well. I think his mobility 1690 01:26:44,400 --> 01:26:47,760 Speaker 1: really helps them. Um, George Pickens and Pickett have a 1691 01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:50,639 Speaker 1: nice thing going on. You know, we'll make a couple 1692 01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:52,479 Speaker 1: of throws. He's aggressive. I like that about him. But 1693 01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:54,880 Speaker 1: I was almost surprised they didn't bench him at one point. 1694 01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:56,040 Speaker 1: But I know they just they want to stick with 1695 01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:58,560 Speaker 1: him and see him point. Really, I mean, I just 1696 01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:02,280 Speaker 1: like the first half of this was a mess like that. 1697 01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:03,760 Speaker 1: It just he looked to me, it was one of 1698 01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:05,400 Speaker 1: his one of his and he's had a lot of 1699 01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:08,720 Speaker 1: bunch of a string of ineffective appearances. Just didn't look 1700 01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:13,040 Speaker 1: like ready for prime PM Easter thirty eight minutes. The 1701 01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:19,080 Speaker 1: Saints defense like it just says, no, no, back to it. 1702 01:27:19,560 --> 01:27:23,360 Speaker 1: It's crazy. No, it's just crazy. Like you had a 1703 01:27:23,400 --> 01:27:27,240 Speaker 1: lot invested in the Saints and I did not. Did 1704 01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:34,040 Speaker 1: I like four it? Oh yeah, I'm fascinated by what's 1705 01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:36,560 Speaker 1: gonna happen next. But they didn't like the Saints, And 1706 01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:38,639 Speaker 1: then they lost some games and the Seahawks started winning games, 1707 01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:41,320 Speaker 1: So now I like them exactly. Like that's why you 1708 01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:44,280 Speaker 1: spread it out. You just like tea, You like a 1709 01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:47,040 Speaker 1: bunch of teams. Gina Smith it's almost it's almost like 1710 01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:49,720 Speaker 1: you're loyal to not a team, but the whole of 1711 01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:53,760 Speaker 1: the sport. There we go, come on, justin. I know 1712 01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:56,880 Speaker 1: you got it in yet, I'm loyal to football. There. 1713 01:27:57,240 --> 01:27:59,680 Speaker 1: I was never pumping up this team, but it is. 1714 01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:02,000 Speaker 1: It is wild to have twenty one minutes time of 1715 01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,320 Speaker 1: possession against this Steelers team who hasn't been able to 1716 01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:08,519 Speaker 1: like exert their will at all. All right, good stuff. 1717 01:28:08,960 --> 01:28:12,040 Speaker 1: You know what else is good stuff? A little Sunday 1718 01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:14,439 Speaker 1: night football. It's just gonna be me and Mark Dan 1719 01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:19,760 Speaker 1: has taken off into that dark Los Angeles night. All right, 1720 01:28:19,880 --> 01:28:22,479 Speaker 1: let's do it. We're talking about it's fifty three seconds. 1721 01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:27,320 Speaker 1: You need a touchdown. Sign shut Paul? It is who's 1722 01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:32,360 Speaker 1: Funa picking it off and run out of bounds at 1723 01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:34,839 Speaker 1: the forty two yard Linel Meta who got the pressure, 1724 01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:38,479 Speaker 1: got the arm, who funk against the pick and the 1725 01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:44,200 Speaker 1: Niners I'm gonna get the picture. That was Talanoah who 1726 01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:49,160 Speaker 1: funga Dan's boy getting it done in Dan's absence. Twenty 1727 01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:53,920 Speaker 1: two to sixteen. The forty Niners get it done. They 1728 01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:58,400 Speaker 1: shut out the Chargers twelve to nothing in the second half. 1729 01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:04,080 Speaker 1: Good offense, good defense, and ultimately smothered the Chargers mark. 1730 01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:07,560 Speaker 1: Is this what Kyle Shanahan envisioned when he traded for 1731 01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:10,960 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. Well, I think the second half was. I mean, 1732 01:29:11,040 --> 01:29:13,360 Speaker 1: that's the story of the game. At halftime was was 1733 01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:16,360 Speaker 1: the Chargers defense, which allowed fifty one yards rushing after 1734 01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:19,400 Speaker 1: getting gashed weekly on the ground. And you thought that 1735 01:29:19,400 --> 01:29:21,720 Speaker 1: would have been the way the Niners would establish it 1736 01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:24,400 Speaker 1: at the outset. But in the second half it you 1737 01:29:24,479 --> 01:29:26,439 Speaker 1: got to the point where the banged up Charges were 1738 01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:28,920 Speaker 1: down to three healthy defensive lineman and I think it 1739 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:32,400 Speaker 1: allowed behind Trent Williams and the rest of the Niners 1740 01:29:32,479 --> 01:29:34,640 Speaker 1: offensive line for them to just pound it away. I mean, 1741 01:29:34,680 --> 01:29:36,840 Speaker 1: they just they were they get The second half went 1742 01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:39,479 Speaker 1: by so quickly because that's what the Niners want to do, 1743 01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:42,519 Speaker 1: just controlled long drives and a couple of key throws 1744 01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:44,760 Speaker 1: by Jimmy g Right. It didn't feel like it's some 1745 01:29:44,920 --> 01:29:47,920 Speaker 1: great game by the forty Niners offense when you finished 1746 01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:52,920 Speaker 1: with twenty two points, and you know, until late until 1747 01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:55,360 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, I think what they had thirteen points 1748 01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:59,599 Speaker 1: or twelve points going into the fourth quarter, but after 1749 01:30:00,000 --> 01:30:02,679 Speaker 1: it was thirteen to three, they have a long touchdown drive. 1750 01:30:03,240 --> 01:30:06,920 Speaker 1: Uh that ended their possessions in the first half. Then 1751 01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:09,479 Speaker 1: they had a long field goal drive to start the 1752 01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:12,120 Speaker 1: third quarter. Then they have a long touchdown drive to 1753 01:30:12,160 --> 01:30:14,200 Speaker 1: start the fourth quarter. They kind of did what they 1754 01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:17,160 Speaker 1: needed to do. They don't really get that much from McCaffrey, 1755 01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:19,880 Speaker 1: but this team is just like someone's gonna pop up 1756 01:30:20,160 --> 01:30:22,679 Speaker 1: out of all these guys, and today it was Ayuk 1757 01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:25,160 Speaker 1: and it was Elijah Mitchell. Kind of is weird that 1758 01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:27,800 Speaker 1: Elijah Mitchell got more carrious than Christie McCaffrey and looked 1759 01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:30,040 Speaker 1: better than Christian McCaffrey, But I guess that's a good problem. 1760 01:30:30,120 --> 01:30:31,720 Speaker 1: Also down at the goal line. I don't know why 1761 01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:33,600 Speaker 1: they were using him the way that they do, But 1762 01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:36,200 Speaker 1: I mean, for me was also the defense because you 1763 01:30:36,240 --> 01:30:40,280 Speaker 1: look at the Chargers second half possessions, punt, punt, punt, 1764 01:30:40,600 --> 01:30:43,040 Speaker 1: very little happen there. Obviously a drive that ended on 1765 01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:46,400 Speaker 1: downs and then that final interception by Justin Herbert when 1766 01:30:46,439 --> 01:30:48,200 Speaker 1: they had a minute, you know, essentially a minute to 1767 01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:51,320 Speaker 1: try to go downfield and win with a touchdown and 1768 01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:55,400 Speaker 1: they couldn't get going right it. It's tough watching the Chargers, 1769 01:30:55,680 --> 01:30:58,000 Speaker 1: like you want to give them pats on the back 1770 01:30:58,040 --> 01:31:01,760 Speaker 1: because Okay, nobody's out there and it's DeAndre Carter and 1771 01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:06,879 Speaker 1: it's Joshua Palmer and there injuries on defensive have obviously 1772 01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:09,679 Speaker 1: been a problem too. But in the end, you look 1773 01:31:09,760 --> 01:31:11,599 Speaker 1: up and they had twelve first downs in this game 1774 01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:14,200 Speaker 1: in two and thirty eight yards, and I thought until 1775 01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:17,320 Speaker 1: the end Herbert played well. I do think he's gonna 1776 01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:19,519 Speaker 1: have to get to a point where he's willing to 1777 01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:23,120 Speaker 1: force the ball into tight places that maybe he hasn't 1778 01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:26,320 Speaker 1: been willing to force it into, because after that first 1779 01:31:26,400 --> 01:31:29,160 Speaker 1: touchdown drive, and he had some beautiful throws on that 1780 01:31:29,360 --> 01:31:31,960 Speaker 1: drive and elsewhere in the first half when they got 1781 01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:34,600 Speaker 1: the ball down to the two, he was throwing it 1782 01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:37,040 Speaker 1: short on third and long quite a bit. And that's 1783 01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:42,040 Speaker 1: kind of been a Chargers theme that he profiles statistically, 1784 01:31:42,120 --> 01:31:44,560 Speaker 1: and sometimes when you just watch the game as like 1785 01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:48,160 Speaker 1: and Alex Smith in Kansas City or a Drew Brees 1786 01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:50,000 Speaker 1: late in his career, and that that shouldn't be Justin 1787 01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:52,160 Speaker 1: Herb like Brandon still, he had those comments that you know, 1788 01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:54,600 Speaker 1: now he's finally healthy, no matter what we've been telling you, 1789 01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:57,080 Speaker 1: and he's ready to be aggressive and be the old 1790 01:31:57,160 --> 01:32:00,599 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and we just haven't really seen that guy 1791 01:32:00,760 --> 01:32:03,439 Speaker 1: in a while. He did have an incredible touchdown past 1792 01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:05,760 Speaker 1: tonight to DeAndre carterthre was like a look typical like 1793 01:32:06,080 --> 01:32:09,479 Speaker 1: Herbert absolute dart Right. And he had another great He 1794 01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:12,720 Speaker 1: really did play fantastic in the first half, like Trey 1795 01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:16,000 Speaker 1: McKitty dropped a potential touchdown. He had another gem to 1796 01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:18,400 Speaker 1: Palmer that set them up inside the five that they 1797 01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:20,479 Speaker 1: didn't score a touchdown on. I thought that was a 1798 01:32:20,600 --> 01:32:25,200 Speaker 1: key play. But like, he needs to be brilliant. It's 1799 01:32:25,280 --> 01:32:27,360 Speaker 1: kind of like the Atlanta game a year a week ago. 1800 01:32:27,439 --> 01:32:29,760 Speaker 1: I thought he played great and they end up with 1801 01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:32,160 Speaker 1: twenty points against Atlanta. I thought he played really well 1802 01:32:32,200 --> 01:32:34,879 Speaker 1: in the first half tonight, and they go into halftime 1803 01:32:34,920 --> 01:32:38,200 Speaker 1: with thirteen points. Like even though even despite the fact 1804 01:32:38,240 --> 01:32:40,760 Speaker 1: that they got a couple of things breaking for them, 1805 01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:44,200 Speaker 1: they gotta recovered fumble, they had a special teams turnover, 1806 01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:47,519 Speaker 1: and your special teams big play and still nothing. Yeah, 1807 01:32:47,520 --> 01:32:49,360 Speaker 1: And it's like they talked about how Brandon Staley had 1808 01:32:49,360 --> 01:32:50,760 Speaker 1: a little bit of an edge to him in their 1809 01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:53,600 Speaker 1: meetings the broadcast team with him saying, why aren't we 1810 01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:56,439 Speaker 1: being talked about we were banged up to like other teams. 1811 01:32:56,479 --> 01:32:58,639 Speaker 1: We have this fine and three record, and you're five 1812 01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:00,760 Speaker 1: and four, And I think this is we kind of 1813 01:33:00,840 --> 01:33:03,360 Speaker 1: saw tonight reasons why the Chargers aren't really talked about 1814 01:33:03,400 --> 01:33:07,160 Speaker 1: in a certain special light. Potentially there he was the 1815 01:33:07,280 --> 01:33:09,519 Speaker 1: same guy that said a few weeks ago, we've won 1816 01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:11,640 Speaker 1: three in a row, but it doesn't feel like it. 1817 01:33:11,840 --> 01:33:14,080 Speaker 1: But so that's why. And they're they're doing fine. They're 1818 01:33:14,080 --> 01:33:16,960 Speaker 1: they're five and four. The season isn't over for them, 1819 01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:19,360 Speaker 1: but they are in Sunday night football and back to 1820 01:33:19,439 --> 01:33:23,120 Speaker 1: back week So if you weren't inspired watching them tonight, 1821 01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:27,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna be home against the Chiefs. And I'm have 1822 01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:29,439 Speaker 1: a feeling there's gonna be like a lot of Kansas 1823 01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:33,799 Speaker 1: City fans here, traffic that is a that is a concern. 1824 01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:35,880 Speaker 1: What do you think the traffic is going to be 1825 01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:39,519 Speaker 1: like tonight? There's a post malone show at the Forum 1826 01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:42,720 Speaker 1: right next door. Uh concerned. I'm ubering. I'm trying to 1827 01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:45,080 Speaker 1: catch an uber somewhere. So as long as those um 1828 01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:48,479 Speaker 1: those that employment type job for people that are drivers, 1829 01:33:48,920 --> 01:33:51,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, I I am, we don't know. I 1830 01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:53,160 Speaker 1: don't I think I hopefully if they're in the post 1831 01:33:53,200 --> 01:33:55,240 Speaker 1: malone show, then we're good. Now, Yeah, that's true that 1832 01:33:55,320 --> 01:33:57,679 Speaker 1: the show won't be over, and yeah that the forty 1833 01:33:57,760 --> 01:33:59,600 Speaker 1: nine end up with a hundred and fifty seven on 1834 01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:01,559 Speaker 1: the ground. So it wasn't McCaffrey that got it. Elijah 1835 01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:04,360 Speaker 1: Mitchell had eighteen free nine. McCaffrey goes fourteen for thirty eight. 1836 01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:08,400 Speaker 1: McCaffrey more involved in the passing game. Uh Jown Jennings 1837 01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:10,040 Speaker 1: makes a couple of plays. This team just has so 1838 01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:14,200 Speaker 1: many guys that are difficult to tackle that when Kittle 1839 01:34:14,360 --> 01:34:17,519 Speaker 1: and Debo are almost silent in this game, Deebo had 1840 01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:20,400 Speaker 1: a couple of runs, you still look fine. So they 1841 01:34:20,439 --> 01:34:22,080 Speaker 1: have a lot of different ways they can win games. 1842 01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:26,280 Speaker 1: That's why I just want to jump in to address 1843 01:34:26,360 --> 01:34:28,960 Speaker 1: the controversy that's going around on Twitter about this hole 1844 01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:30,640 Speaker 1: should have been a touch back towards the end of 1845 01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:34,840 Speaker 1: that game. I don't like. I guess you know they 1846 01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:37,320 Speaker 1: weighed in that officially it should have been like to 1847 01:34:37,479 --> 01:34:39,280 Speaker 1: my eyes was like, I mean, they blew the whistle. 1848 01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:42,160 Speaker 1: At no point did they mention now that they blew 1849 01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:45,000 Speaker 1: the whistle before he got pushed into the end zone 1850 01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:47,240 Speaker 1: or fell back into the end and so at that point, 1851 01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:50,240 Speaker 1: the play's over, and yeah, maybe they've made a mistake 1852 01:34:50,360 --> 01:34:52,519 Speaker 1: and blowing it too soon, but his feet were stopped. 1853 01:34:52,560 --> 01:34:54,479 Speaker 1: I mean, we're just picking knits. We got other things 1854 01:34:54,560 --> 01:34:56,920 Speaker 1: to be worried about when it comes to officiating, and 1855 01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:59,320 Speaker 1: I'm not that worried about the guy like slowly moving 1856 01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:02,800 Speaker 1: back with that right there, including the ejection in this 1857 01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:05,240 Speaker 1: game that was that was that was a bit of 1858 01:35:05,240 --> 01:35:08,519 Speaker 1: a bit of a loose ejection for Jake Glen green Law, 1859 01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:11,639 Speaker 1: who clearly deserved a penalty on that play against Herbert. 1860 01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:14,360 Speaker 1: But that was a quick objection asking defensive defenders to 1861 01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:17,160 Speaker 1: like simply move their bodies and shift in midair depending 1862 01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:18,760 Speaker 1: on where the head of the quarterback is when you 1863 01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:24,640 Speaker 1: mean yeah, alright, So the forty nine is moved to 1864 01:35:24,720 --> 01:35:28,080 Speaker 1: five and they have the the seventh spot right now 1865 01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:30,360 Speaker 1: in the NFC. It's not too early to start looking 1866 01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:32,040 Speaker 1: at this stuff. But they are tied in the lost 1867 01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:36,479 Speaker 1: column with Seattle. The Chargers now fall a couple games 1868 01:35:36,600 --> 01:35:39,760 Speaker 1: back of the Chiefs. The a f C West can 1869 01:35:39,880 --> 01:35:43,559 Speaker 1: be decided next Sunday night, but that's there basically clinched 1870 01:35:43,600 --> 01:35:46,719 Speaker 1: next Sunday night. But that's next Sunday night. This Sunday's 1871 01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:51,599 Speaker 1: over started in Germany. It's ending here Dan somewhere else 1872 01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:53,439 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles. And you know who was in Germany, 1873 01:35:53,800 --> 01:35:58,639 Speaker 1: Justin Graver, Colleen Wolf And it was such an exciting 1874 01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:02,639 Speaker 1: uh day there. We asked Colleen for some of her 1875 01:36:02,800 --> 01:36:07,559 Speaker 1: thoughts late in the German night and after after the outro, 1876 01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:10,840 Speaker 1: here we're gonna say goodbye. Here, we're gonna have a 1877 01:36:10,960 --> 01:36:13,240 Speaker 1: little easter egg if you guys are curious what it 1878 01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:17,240 Speaker 1: was like to be there in Munich. But until then, 1879 01:36:18,160 --> 01:36:24,519 Speaker 1: for Mark Sesler, Dan Hansas, for Bono, for Brad Pitt, 1880 01:36:26,080 --> 01:36:31,360 Speaker 1: for Nick Shook, for Justin Graver, for Fonga, for everyone 1881 01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:35,360 Speaker 1: hit the call. At the end of that game, when 1882 01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:38,439 Speaker 1: we started the postgame show, I was supposed to start 1883 01:36:38,479 --> 01:36:41,679 Speaker 1: talking about how the Bucks can build off this win 1884 01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:45,120 Speaker 1: and did they turn the season around, And immediately that 1885 01:36:45,280 --> 01:36:50,439 Speaker 1: felt so wrong, and I just wanted to share what 1886 01:36:50,520 --> 01:36:54,759 Speaker 1: it was like to be in that stadium while everyone 1887 01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:58,800 Speaker 1: remained in their seat well after the game finished, nobody left, 1888 01:36:59,360 --> 01:37:04,280 Speaker 1: and everyone was singing and holding onto each other and swaying, 1889 01:37:05,320 --> 01:37:08,160 Speaker 1: and their lights were out on their phones, and it 1890 01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:13,120 Speaker 1: just felt so cool and so powerful and just like 1891 01:37:13,240 --> 01:37:18,160 Speaker 1: a true connection where everyone was present and just living 1892 01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:22,200 Speaker 1: in the moment, and it was undeniable. I don't know 1893 01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:26,280 Speaker 1: what it was like to watch on TV. I hope 1894 01:37:26,320 --> 01:37:31,840 Speaker 1: it came off that way because it was like the 1895 01:37:31,960 --> 01:37:35,680 Speaker 1: coolest thing that's ever happened in my life. And I 1896 01:37:35,800 --> 01:37:39,720 Speaker 1: know that it sounds like crazy hyperbole, but I have 1897 01:37:39,920 --> 01:37:43,240 Speaker 1: chills even just talking about it right now. And to 1898 01:37:43,320 --> 01:37:48,720 Speaker 1: see Henry Hodgson and to see the German fans like 1899 01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:54,680 Speaker 1: really really embrace this night and this day, it was 1900 01:37:54,840 --> 01:37:58,639 Speaker 1: so cool. I miss you, guys. I feel really vulnerable 1901 01:37:58,680 --> 01:38:00,280 Speaker 1: at this point, so maybe it'll play it. Just use 1902 01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:03,120 Speaker 1: it as background or you know, use your judgment. Don't 1903 01:38:03,160 --> 01:38:05,120 Speaker 1: route my career, kay, Love you, see you guys soon. 1904 01:38:05,240 --> 01:38:05,400 Speaker 1: By
