We won't get 14 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: to right now. Let's just dive into the NFL because um, 15 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: I mean, listen, this was the craziest Sunday of the 16 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: season from a gambling perspective. Right off the bat, the 17 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: underdogs totally dominated Week eight so far. With one game left, 18 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: they are nine and four and Sunday it was crazy. 19 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: Um underdogs winning out right Pittsburgh Steelers, whoa whoa Denver 20 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,080 Speaker 1: Broncos in a comeback. Poor Chargers. I mean, listen, the 21 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:22,479 Speaker 1: Chargers such a sad sack organization they folks. We'll get 22 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: to them in a second. Okay. Uh, the Chargers lost 23 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: out right to the Denver Broncos, who were underdogs Miami 24 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: Dolphins one outright. Gave that one out here on the podcast. 25 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: So if you guys cash that ticket. Minnesota, in a 26 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: bit of a stunner, wins out right. The Bengals in 27 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: a major shocker take down the Titans, um and the Raiders. 28 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 1: Rob G's Raiders come through in the wind over the 29 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield Browns, who looked inept moving the football without 30 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: Odell psych Just kidding. Um, that was a win game, folks. Again, 31 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: another topic there's not gonna be time for in this one. 32 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: But let's not go overboard with the they miss O'Dell. 33 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: Let's let's just stop. Okay. So three huge stories in 34 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: the NFL, and I actually think number two might have 35 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: a bigger traction uh this week the number one. But 36 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 1: I think number one is the biggest story, and I 37 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: don't think anyone else is going here. I have to 38 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 1: start with Baltimore Pittsburgh the game of the week. I 39 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: don't want to just start with it because I gave 40 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,119 Speaker 1: out Pittsburgh on this podcast. We'll get to the best 41 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: bet later. But watching that game, one thing became readily apparent. 42 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: And it's very obvious, folks, if you watched a second 43 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: of Steelers Ravens that Lamar Jackson is a great regular 44 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 1: season player, and it's pretty clear in the big games, 45 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: the games that matter, he can easily be shut down. 46 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: And my parallel, I texted Rob g as soon as 47 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,240 Speaker 1: just hit me, Lamar Jackson to me, is Janice the 48 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: Milwaukee Bucks star. We've seen you, honest, win an MVP award, 49 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: can't get it done in the postseason. He's now got 50 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: two MVP awards and he can't get to the championship. 51 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson fourteen and two. Ravens. Last year wins the 52 00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: m v P. They lose their first playoff game. Lamar Jackson. 53 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: This year, all anybody wants to talk about, all the 54 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: Ravens are stacked to going back to the super Bowl. 55 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: They're going back to the playoffs. Lamar is gonna take 56 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: them to the super Bowl. There the best team in 57 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,160 Speaker 1: the league. And Lamar Jackson laid a massive egg in 58 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: another huge spot. He was awful. Lamar Jackson is the 59 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 1: reason the Ravens lost that game, because, folks, that Ravens 60 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 1: defense was outstanding. The Pittsburgh Steelers had sixty four yards 61 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 1: in the first half, no offensive points, but they were 62 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,799 Speaker 1: hanging around because Lamar Jackson kept turning the football over 63 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 1: and we got our first whiff of dissension. I don't 64 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: know if everybody saw this because he deleted the tweet, 65 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: but Hollywood Brown, the best receiver on Baltimore, was so 66 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: tipped off. After the game, he tweeted out, what's the 67 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: point of having soldiers like soldier boys soldiers when you 68 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: never use them? And then in parentheses never with exclamation 69 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: marks all caps. Hollywood Brown had two targets against the Steelers, 70 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: one catch for three yards. He's their game breaker, He's explosive. 71 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson was terrible, and I I'm not crushing Lamar 72 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: to pick on him. He did lose his best offensive lineman, 73 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: Ronnie Stanley, brutal leg injury. He's done for the season. 74 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: And two, I think it was like three days ago 75 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,039 Speaker 1: on Thursday or Friday, he signed a ninety nine million 76 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: dollar contract and then he goes down card it off 77 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: in the second quarter, a brutal leg injury out for 78 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: the season. And I'm telling you right now, Ravens are 79 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: not a super Bowl team. They have super Bowl talent, 80 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: but they're not a super Bowl team. Lamar reminds me 81 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: of Janice because you can scheme him out of the game, 82 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: and Janice is tough to prepare for because of his length. 83 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: You you, there's no other Jannice Is in the NBA. 84 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: There's no other Lamar Jackson's in the NFL. When you 85 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 1: look at lamar skill set, it's like, oh man, first 86 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: time you gotta face him. Good luck. You can't prepare 87 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: for that, similar to you, honest, But the smart teams 88 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: the Steelers last year five sacks of Lamar Jackson, three 89 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: interceptions in one meeting. And Lamar Jackson on Sunday had 90 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: by far his worst game of the season. He was 91 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,760 Speaker 1: a mess, four turnovers, he had two fumbles, two picks, 92 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: including a pick six less than a minute into the game, 93 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: and he was sacked four times. Then, coming back at 94 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: the end of the game, he throws an incompletion in 95 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: the end zone that would have won the game. Um 96 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: And and listen, I like Lamar Jackson as a player. 97 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: He's incredibly fun to watch. He's gonna put up awesome numbers, 98 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: but in these big games he just can't deliver. And 99 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: and you know, folks, I know I mentioned Hollywood Brown earlier. 100 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: The other big takeaway. I don't think you're gonna hear 101 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: other people talk about this because you have to watch 102 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: the game really closely. So it's third quarter. Remember, Steelers 103 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: are trailing at halftime seventeen seven. They have zero points 104 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: offensively in the first half, just that pick six. But 105 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 1: in the second half, the Steelers come out boom quickly score, 106 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: Ravens can't generate anything. Punt, Steelers score again, and the 107 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: Steelers then have the lead and the Ravens have the 108 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 1: football at midfield. Okay, it's third and eight, late third quarter. 109 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 1: John Harball calls an RPO. It had no chance, none whatsoever. 110 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: You have Lamar Jackson is not good running the football 111 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh. And to me, I look at that, I'm like, 112 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: that play had no chance. It was blown up. I 113 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: think it was a loss of one. And essentially John 114 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: Harball was telling you if you were watching that game closely, 115 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 1: I don't have faith in Lamar to throw the football 116 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 1: in third and eight against his team. I'm gonna punt 117 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,799 Speaker 1: and play the field position game and it worked. Hardball 118 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: did not have faith in Lamar Jackson. Punts, the ball 119 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: pins Pittsburgh deep. They go three and out, then they 120 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 1: get a short field, they get the touchdown and take 121 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,679 Speaker 1: the lead. But to me, that was a big sign that, Wow, 122 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh doesn't totally trust Lamar Jackson against his defense. 123 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: And folks, I don't want to go overboard here, but 124 00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: you look at the schedule and you see, holy count 125 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: the Ravens lose their great left tackle, um Lamar Jackson. 126 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: He finally got over two hundred yards. We talked about 127 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: this on Friday's podcast. Four straight games without two hundred 128 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: yards passing. Lamar barely got over two hundred, Okay barely. 129 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: They did run for two hundred sixty five yards against 130 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 1: the number one run defense in the NFL. A side note, 131 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: the Steelers after the game traded with the Jets for 132 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: Avery Williamson because they need help in the middle at linebacker. 133 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: And if you watch a game closely, when Baltimore rallied 134 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: late in the fourth, a lot of stuff open over 135 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: the middle of the field. They really miss Bush. The 136 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: linebackers out for the years. So they trade for Avery Williamson. 137 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 1: But back to the Ravens, so Dobbins, the rookie had 138 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: a hundred and thirteen yards on the ground, mark Ingram 139 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: did not play, he was injured, and the Ravens were 140 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: able to run all over the number one run defense 141 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: in the NFL. But when it came time for Lamar 142 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: to pass, he could not deliver. Just a terrible game 143 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: for Lamar Jackson. He's gonna he's gonna be out of 144 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 1: the spotlight under the microscope. I think that is the 145 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: biggest takeaway from Sunday. Lamar Jackson is the honest. You 146 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: can scheme him out of the big games. The smart 147 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: teams can easily take him down. I think the second 148 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: biggest story is a toss up between who is the 149 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: bigger fraud, the Tennessee Titans or the Green Bay Packers. 150 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with the Packers because Rob g founds 151 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 1: this awesome nugget that was just amazing. Okay, So the 152 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,640 Speaker 1: Packers take an early lead on the Vikings, and then 153 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: Minnesota realizes, oh, Kirk Cousins can't throw the football, it's cold, 154 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: and we're just going to hand off to Dalvin Cook 155 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: and that's all they did. Thirty carries for Dalvin Cook, 156 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: fourteen pass attempts for Kirk Cousins. Cook has a monster 157 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: afternoon hundred sixty three yard three rushing touchdowns. Unfortunately I 158 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: was facing him in fantasy and I lost. He had 159 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: fifty one points in a PPR league on me, and 160 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 1: the Packers run defense is just gutted and they end 161 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: up losing the game. After the game, Aaron Rodgers on 162 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: whether the Packers need to add a receiver at the 163 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: trade deadline. This is a quote from Aaron Rodgers. That's 164 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,200 Speaker 1: not a bad question, but that's not one I can answer. 165 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lobby anybody for it because the last 166 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: time I did that, he ended up in Buffalo. Whoa 167 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers just casually saying I told the front office 168 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 1: I want Stefon Diggs and we couldn't go out and 169 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: get him. That is a total shot at the Packers 170 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 1: front office. And listen when the Packers were four and oh, 171 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: everybody was joking, Oh, the Packers don't need a receiver. 172 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: They got Alan Lazard, they got Dafont Adams. Are fine, 173 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Now? You lose two out 174 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: of three Aaron Rodgers starting to show his true colors. 175 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: He's pissed. You knew he was. You knew he was 176 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: upset when they didn't draft a receiver, they didn't handle 177 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: it in free agency. This is Bill Belichick and Gronk 178 00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: all over again. Remember Gronk left. Belichick did not draft 179 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: a tight end, did not pick up one in free agency. 180 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: Tom Brady was pissed. Aaron Rodgers right now is ticked off. 181 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 1: He needs a receiver. Now. It's it's trade deadline week. 182 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: You're coming off a loss. The Packers, by the way, 183 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 1: have a huge game Thursday Night Football against the forty Niners. 184 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 1: Now I think Green Bay is gonna be in the 185 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: mix for a wide receiver here at the trade deadline. 186 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: I floated on social media Jamison Crowder of the Jets. 187 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: You know the Jets are given up guys. Um, I 188 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: wonder if they kicked the tires on Will Fuller or 189 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks with the Texans. We know that team is 190 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: going nowhere. Um, I think you've got to be in 191 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: the market if you're the Packers for receiver. Alan Lazard 192 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 1: is hurt, He's not coming back anytime soon. And if 193 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: you scheme Davante Adams out, there's nobody getting open. You 194 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 1: can do that against the Falcons, Okay, when with the 195 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: tight end catches a bunch of touchdown passes. You can 196 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: do that against the bad teams. But eventually somebody's gonna 197 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: take Adams out of the game, and I don't know 198 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: if they have enough other players to beat you. Now, 199 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 1: the other problem for the Packers is the run defense 200 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: or lack thereof Minnesota thirty four carries a buck seventy 201 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: three five point one yards per carry. You're going to 202 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: San Francisco Thursday night football. Anybody who barely watches the 203 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: NFL knows this. San Francisco, Kyle Shanahan, they run the football. 204 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: Go look at the numbers. Last year in both meetings 205 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: with the Packers, it was a truck stick galore. They 206 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: ran all over the Green Bay Packers and folks, I 207 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: asked if they're a fraud, because I'm gonna give you 208 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: this number right now. Look at the best rushing offenses 209 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,440 Speaker 1: in the NFL. According to the efficiency numbers. The Rams 210 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 1: are number one. They're in the NFC. San Francisco's number two, 211 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: also in the NFC. Number three is Minnesota. They just 212 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: deep panted the Packers Arizona number four. Another NFC playoff team, 213 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: number six, Seattle Green Bay is going were if they 214 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: can't stop the run and they need to add a receiver. 215 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: Packers looking like big time frauds right now, then the 216 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: other fraud Oh gosh, these guys, and I bet on them, 217 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: and this one hurt. I didn't give it out on 218 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: a pod, but I bet on these idiots. The Tennessee 219 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: Titans are a couple. I mean, they're a bunch of jokers. 220 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,520 Speaker 1: So the Cincinnati Bengals announced it and starting running back 221 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: Joe mixons out and three offensive linemen. You think, oh 222 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: my gosh, Joe Burrow's gonna be running for his life. 223 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 1: He's gonna be under pressure. Cloud He's gonna kill him. 224 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: Let me look here, let me check my notes. Titans 225 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: zero sacks, one tackle for loss, two quarterback hits. That's it. 226 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: Burrow is wearing a tuxedo in the pocket shredding the 227 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: Titans on third down. You know, whether one of the 228 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 1: worst third down defenses in the league ten for fifteen 229 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: on third down with the Bengals in the red zone. 230 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 1: Titans also one of the worst red zone DEFs is 231 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: in the league four for five in the red zone. 232 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,880 Speaker 1: The Bengals no mixing. They're handing off to somebody named 233 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: some some Moki p Ryan or something like that, some 234 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: g p Rhyan. I think he played at Oklahoma in 235 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: college football. I mean, the Bengals do whatever they wanted, 236 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: anything they wanted. This was twenty four to seven in 237 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. And you're telling me the Titans are 238 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 1: are are a contender. I think you know one of 239 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: those two, I don't know who the bigger fraud is. 240 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 1: I would because they have Aaron Rodgers. I would lean 241 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: away from them. But I'm telling you, man, they got 242 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: major holes. He can't make up for that run dy. 243 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: He can't add a receiver. Now, the third big story 244 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: I kind of was thinking to h but I think 245 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: we'll get to him later in the week. And um, 246 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: just as the heads up, Okay, go take a look 247 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: at the box score of the Rams and Titans. Folks. 248 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: You're gonna laugh your ass off. It's comical. The Rams 249 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: got their butts kicked, and you're gonna wonder how when 250 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 1: you look at the box score. Um, but I think 251 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,560 Speaker 1: the third biggest story in the NFL, and you know 252 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: I can't I got this half, right, I knew the 253 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 1: Patriots would lose. They actually covered, but it does feel 254 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: like the end of the road for Bill Belichick and 255 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,959 Speaker 1: New England. They they did everything they could in their 256 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 1: power to hang against Buffalo, and you know they were there. 257 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: Cam Newton driving in the final minute in the red zone, 258 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 1: he costs it up and that's a wrap on the 259 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: Patriots game against Buffalo. They lose, and that's got to 260 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: be the season. New England drops to two and five. 261 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,040 Speaker 1: And I got a number that's gonna surprise you. This 262 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: number came out. I think it was M Fox, CBS, NBC, 263 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: one of them put this out there. Bill Belichick's entire career, 264 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 1: so including his days in Cleveland in the nineties when 265 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 1: he did take the Browns of the playoffs, his record 266 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: with Tom Brady at quarterback two and twenty four wins, 267 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: sixty six losses. Bill Belichick, with any QB who's not 268 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: Tom Brady, fifty one and sixty six. So you heard that, right, 269 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: With Tom Brady, Belichick lost sixty six times, yes, two wins. 270 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: Without Brady, he has sixty six losses and fifty one victories. 271 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: Now that to me is just absolutely mind blowing and 272 00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: It shows that folks, Uh, we've been saying this for 273 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks down Like we were early on this, 274 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: Tom Brady matters more than Bill Belichick. And I'm not 275 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: demeaning Belichick. This is not to DENNI Greg Bill Belichick. 276 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: He's a great coach and he's his rosters ripped apart 277 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 1: by COVID. He was without Edelman, he was without Gilmore. 278 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 1: He was able to hang. I think that more speaks 279 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: to the lack of awareness on the Buffalo Bills. Um. 280 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: You know that game was super close yards per play 281 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 1: five point nine to five point seven Bills slight edge. 282 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: It came down to basically the Cam Newton UH fumble 283 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: in the red zone in the final minute. You know 284 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: the Bills have no faith in Josh Allen. Through eighteen passes, 285 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: they rushed thirty eight times. I mean that game was 286 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: basically a dead heat, which doesn't say a lot of 287 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: nice things about the Buffalo Bills. I just I don't 288 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: know what Bill Belichick can do. I don't know that 289 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: there is a quick fix. And you know, we talked 290 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: about it a little bit last week in that Belichick 291 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: in New England really likes to get in young undervalued 292 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: players and coach them up. He finds these diamonds in 293 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: the rough Polishism and presto. These guys are like stars, 294 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: but you can't coach them up during a global pandemic 295 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 1: when you have no access to them in the off season. 296 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: So you've got all these young guys playing in New 297 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: England who aren't really ready for prime time and are 298 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: ready for the system. Maybe on the back half of 299 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: the schedule the Patriots start to show some life, but 300 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: right now they're not a good football team. They don't 301 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: scare anybody. Cam Newton looks he's terrible. I can't throw 302 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: the football. He made a couple of plays against the Bills, 303 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: but Ryan Dannehill made fifty million plays against the Bills 304 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks go. You know, I, I just 305 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: it's kind of over for the Patriots. I'm done making 306 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:10,440 Speaker 1: them a topic on the podcast. Like, I just, I 307 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: don't think they're worthy of discussion. Similar to my Jets. 308 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: You guys knowing the Jets, Homer there oh and eight. 309 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 1: They have the worst point deferential in the league by 310 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: a mile. Nobody else in the NFL has a point 311 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 1: differential over negative a hundred. The Jets are negative one 312 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: forty four. They're terrible. They're not worthy of my of 313 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:33,479 Speaker 1: my oxygen. I'm not talking about them unless they make 314 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: trades and that helps their chances for Trevor Lawrence. Other side, 315 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: note three one win teams one in Week eight. Yes, 316 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 1: now I can get excited about the Jets. Falcons had 317 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: one win, they got the W. Cincinnati Bengals had one win, 318 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 1: they got the W. The other team was the Minnesota 319 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: Vikings in Green Bay getting the win. So basically we're 320 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: down to the Jets battle the New York Giants at 321 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: one and six, the Jags at one in six, and 322 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: the Texans at one and six in the race for 323 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Now, I do believe the Texans will be 324 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: okay with DeShawn Watson by the way, Texans play the 325 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 1: Jags this week, and Gardner Minshew is out he had 326 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 1: some finger injury. Um, so we're looking full tank ahead. 327 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: New York Jets gonna get in the mix for Trevor Lawrence. 328 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: So that kind of wraps up what I thought was 329 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: a um a fun you know. Week eight on Sunday, 330 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: obviously we have Tampa Bay and Monday Night Football Tonight, 331 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,880 Speaker 1: we'll get to that in a moment, Rob g I'm 332 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 1: just curious, do you want to talk about your Las 333 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders um squeaking by the Browns and getting firmly 334 00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: in the a C playoff chase? Oh? What do you need? 335 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: Squeaking by? That was a thorough domination in the elements 336 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: met a ad. I mean, anybody who says that Derek 337 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: Carr can't play in cold weather, he's just yeah, that 338 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: that narrative that like in the something like that. But 339 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: you know he made enough throws when they counted. I mean, 340 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: watching games, it was it was just so bad to watch. 341 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,359 Speaker 1: It was just sloppy everywhere. You know, if if you 342 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 1: got four yards past the line of screamage, that was 343 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: a big play, you know, in that game. But you know, 344 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,879 Speaker 1: credit to the Raiders for for coming through in the 345 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: elements in a hostile environment in Cleveland and the dog 346 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,119 Speaker 1: bound with a with the number one draft pick Baker 347 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 1: Mayfield on the other end, for them to come through 348 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: was big, and it's it's gonna be big come wild 349 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,159 Speaker 1: card time, because I think that Cleveland and Vegas are 350 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 1: gonna be right there right at the end. But let 351 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 1: me just go back quickly to something you said. I 352 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: think that you're being way too hard on Bill Belichick. 353 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: Now him as a coach, I think is uh. I 354 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 1: don't know if this right word unimpeachable. You can't say 355 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: anything about him. The way he's able to turn water 356 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: into wine throughout the years is barn done. What I 357 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,399 Speaker 1: will admit though, is that and you you brought this up. 358 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 1: I think last week about his ego, his his GM 359 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: skills are are what's lacking. I don't think his coaching 360 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 1: because you saw yesterday Cam Newton with with me and 361 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:04,480 Speaker 1: you wide receiver and and you know nothing around him. 362 00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 1: If you think you know Sony Michelle's a weapon, you know, 363 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 1: good for you. I don't. But they were right there 364 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: with the number one team in their division, a team 365 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,439 Speaker 1: who most likely is gonna win eleven twelve games, and 366 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,160 Speaker 1: they had the game in hand to win it, and 367 00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:23,040 Speaker 1: the coaching was fine. If it was not for Cam 368 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: Newton being loose with the football, they would have won 369 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: that game. I think where he screwed up and what 370 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: Tom Brady probably the biggest reason why he wanted out 371 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 1: is that he made a series of poor draft choices, 372 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: never replaced the guys that they lost the upper end talent, 373 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: and his feeling was that he could out scheme and 374 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 1: outcoaches way around that you just can't. After a while. 375 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: It's gotten to a point now where you know he's 376 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,679 Speaker 1: he's beyond that point. But for you to make it 377 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 1: seem at least what it felt like to me that 378 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: you know, he might have lost something on his fastball 379 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: as a coach, I totally disagree with that. Well, yeah, 380 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:00,440 Speaker 1: I mean I don't want to come down too hard 381 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: on him. You know, obviously they're not winning the division 382 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: short of some like major injuries to the Bills, but 383 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: you know, they really have no options, and he could 384 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: only blame himself. When you're the GM and the head coach, 385 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: I mean, ultimately the blame falls on you, right, Rob 386 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 1: g Right. I mean, well, he's even going back when 387 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: they were winning all those Super Bowls, he's never been 388 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: good at drafting offensive talent. That that's never been his thing, 389 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 1: you know. I mean he got he got Gronky, got 390 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: Gronk and in the same draft. And but that's a 391 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: tight end. You know, it's two tight ends. It's not 392 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: like he's he's picking great receivers, great running bags or 393 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: anything like that. He's been really good at finding cast 394 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: offs from other teams, you know, Wes Welker, you know, 395 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: turning Julian Edelman into a decent receiver, you know that 396 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But offensively, he's never been good at 397 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: finding weapons. Is just the system, you know, fit certain 398 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 1: profile player, and that's what they were able to find. Um. 399 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 1: Defensively he was. I mean, he find Gilmore. I don't 400 00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 1: remember him before he got to New England. I know 401 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 1: he had a what a cup of coffee in Buffalo. 402 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: I believe you know he was Okay, I never saw 403 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:08,640 Speaker 1: him as a defensive player of the Year. Well that's 404 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: the coach him up aspect exactly. Yeah. I mean, now 405 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: I'm looking through the draft history. So they did draft 406 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: Richard Seymour, he was very good. Uh, he drafted Dion 407 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: Branch a Super Bowl m v p H. But was 408 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,480 Speaker 1: he the GM at that time? Oh, I mean two 409 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 1: thousand Yeah, I'd have to look that. I'm not a 410 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: percent sure they got Will Fork in two thousand four, 411 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 1: But you're right, I don't know if he was actually 412 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: the GM when he ascended to that mantle as well. Um, 413 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: that's a fair question. Now, they did draft Edelman in 414 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 1: two thousand nine seventh round. That was a steel Um. 415 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, his drafting is part of the reason 416 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: they're devoided talent um. And remember, rob for the longest time, 417 00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,160 Speaker 1: Tom Brady was never the highest paid quarterback in the league. 418 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: He was able to give a quote unquote hometown discount 419 00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: because his wife was a supermodel making five million dollars 420 00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: a year or whatever the number war she was worth 421 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: five hundred million dollars some insane number. Giselle um and 422 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: Brady is like, well, I don't want to take all 423 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 1: the money, Let's pay other guys, which is great. You know. 424 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: You know that that enabled the Patriots to stay on top. 425 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: And um, now you're seeing Tom Brady kind of give 426 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 1: the love down in Tampa, bringing on in Antonio Brown, 427 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 1: and Antonio Brown's living with Tom Brady and Tampa according 428 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 1: to Jay Glazer. So you know, I mean we for 429 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: the longest time, the discussion was Brady or Belichick, Who's 430 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 1: more valuable. It was always a fifty fifty maybe lean Belichick. 431 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 1: And now I think the scales have to tilt towards Tom. 432 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 1: I don't see how you can pick it any other way, Robgie, 433 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: We'll see I still would lean Belichick in that situation 434 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: because most of those Super Bowls were one defensively, they 435 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: were one because Tom Brady was you know Tom Brady, 436 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: the ones where he was really an all time great quarterback. 437 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: They lost. Well, he did have three, I think three 438 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: fourth quarter comebacks in the Super Bowl to get him 439 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 1: in field goal position or um again Seattle, you know, 440 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: So let's go through it. So the first the Super 441 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,720 Speaker 1: Bowl was defense. It was against the greatest show on 442 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: turf Rams. The last Super Bowl against the other Rams 443 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: that one of the greatest offenses statistically in NFL history 444 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 1: was the defense because Don Brady didn't do much in 445 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: that game either. He was great against Atlanta UM. They 446 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,640 Speaker 1: lost against the Eagles the Carolina Super Bowl. I mean, 447 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 1: I'd have to really go back and think about it. Yeah, 448 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: he set him up. He set him up with a 449 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: game winning drive for a field goals and wasn't it 450 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: He didn't didn't Carolina kicked the kickoff out of bounds 451 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: to right before that last drive. I think it was 452 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 1: something like that. I have to look it up, but 453 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: that's what it. For some reason, I feel like that's 454 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 1: what happened. And then that's entirely possible Donovan McNabb was 455 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: throwing up in the bowl on himself, and that was 456 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 1: the one where he didn't have a comeback. Um. The 457 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 1: Seattle one is underrated though, because they were down in 458 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. Remember Seattle. This was at the height 459 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,760 Speaker 1: of the legion of boom and Brady went up and 460 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 1: down the field twice length of the field drives in 461 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter to give them the lead. For me, 462 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: that was the Brady. But he still should have lost 463 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: that one. But he didn't. He didn't. He made the 464 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: fourth quarter comeback. Yeah yeah, I mean I'd have to 465 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 1: look up what what qualifies as a game winning comeback. Um, 466 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: But Brady, other than the two Giant Super Bowls, and 467 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: by the way, he was really good in one of them, 468 00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 1: lead them down for the score. And then of course 469 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 1: the defense gave up the Plexico Burd's touchdown. And again 470 00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,760 Speaker 1: it's not like I'm bashing Tom Brady. I mean, even 471 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 1: though I don't like Tom Brady on a personal level, 472 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: and we're just leading hairs, they're both you know, all 473 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 1: time great, it's right right right, you know? Um, well, well, 474 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: maybe Brady will come out tonight on Monday Night football 475 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: and uh give you one Rob g with a with 476 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 1: a forty nothing Burger ten or at twelve point favorite. 477 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: So all right, that wraps up an exciting Sunday in 478 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 1: the NFL. And um, now it's time for the best bet. 479 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 1: The only thing better than sitting on your couch watching 480 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: the game. He's making money while you do it. Here's 481 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,919 Speaker 1: your best bat. Alright, it's time for the best bet. 482 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,919 Speaker 1: Here on straight fire. Some good news from Sunday in 483 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: the NFL two and one. Seattle came through for me. 484 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: Not much of a sweat there. Pittsburgh delivered as an 485 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 1: underdog in Baltimore. That was a great victory from a 486 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: gambling perspective and for the Steelers even though they didn't 487 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 1: look good and the New Orleans Saints did not cover. 488 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: And um, I don't really listen. I don't want have 489 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: time right now. I don't want to get into the 490 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas stuff. Will save that for the middle of 491 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: the week. But this Saint's offense just I mean, they 492 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: can't do much and defensively they got beat up pretty 493 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: bad over the top by Folds. Of course in the 494 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 1: second half. Naggy, I don't know what the hell he 495 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,920 Speaker 1: was doing. Um, and the Bears just totally screwed the 496 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: gaming that allowed the Saints to come back and win 497 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: in overtime but not cover. So we're thirty nine, twenty 498 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 1: five and five, still over, pretty happy with the results. 499 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: Down Monday Night Football is brutal because it's a big number. 500 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 1: Tapa favored by twelve. The buck are beat up. No Godwin, 501 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: of course he had the surgery on his finger, and 502 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,000 Speaker 1: you just gotta wonder. No Antonio Brown yet, do they 503 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:11,200 Speaker 1: have an off offense? We saw them on Thursday Night 504 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: Football go to Chicago and they not only didn't cover, 505 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 1: but they lost the game when they didn't have God 506 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,600 Speaker 1: when they just didn't have the offensive weapons. The big 507 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: difference here is that the New York Giants have a 508 00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 1: rookie coach and a pretty embarrassing quarterback in Danny Dimes, 509 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,840 Speaker 1: who is a turnover machine going up against an elite 510 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: Bucks defense. I know, listen, I don't advocate gambling on 511 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,240 Speaker 1: double digit favorites. That is a great way to lose 512 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: a lot of money. We have seen, and we talked 513 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 1: about earlier in the podcast. Underdogs ruled in Week eight. Okay, 514 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 1: they had their best weekend of the year, and I 515 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: just don't think it continues tonight. I'm gonna go. And again, 516 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 1: this is not like a max played, is not even 517 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: a big play. This is an action play. So I 518 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 1: watched the game and have some skin in it. I'm 519 00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: gonna take Tampa favor by twelve. And again, I do 520 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: not advocate gambling on double digit favorites long term. It's 521 00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,439 Speaker 1: not smart. The New York Giants just stink, and um, 522 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: Tampa is a better team. I do have some concern 523 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: that Brady is overlooking this game with the Saints rematch 524 00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: looming next week. But given it's Monday night Football, prime time, 525 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: I can't imagine a huge letdown from Brady and Arians. 526 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: So give me Tampa covering the twelve. Maybe they'll get 527 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,679 Speaker 1: as lucky as those damn Eagles did on Sunday Night Football. 528 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 1: All Right, that's it for the Monday Show. We'll we'll 529 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,040 Speaker 1: be back Tuesday with another great episode. Hope you're Novembers 530 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 1: off to a good start. We'll talk to you tomorrow.
