The Rams were dead to rights. 11 00:00:47,108 --> 00:00:49,148 Speaker 1: Now the Raiders are red hot, three wins in a row, 12 00:00:49,228 --> 00:00:51,548 Speaker 1: and the Rams and Tom Pelaso will get this.

There was a lot 17 00:01:04,748 --> 00:01:08,188 Speaker 1: of news yesterday, big news out of Buffalo. But somehow 18 00:01:08,188 --> 00:01:10,228 Speaker 1: we still have to talk about the big names from 19 00:01:10,268 --> 00:01:13,868 Speaker 1: the Rams. Who hosts the Raiders Night, Please enlighten us 20 00:01:13,868 --> 00:01:16,548 Speaker 1: with everything topical in the NFL right now? So well. Jamie. 21 00:01:16,588 --> 00:01:19,828 Speaker 1: Aaron Donald is out again tonight for the Rams against 22 00:01:19,828 --> 00:01:22,028 Speaker 1: the Raiders, second straight game that he has missed because 23 00:01:22,068 --> 00:01:24,828 Speaker 1: of a high ankle sprain for a Rams team that 24 00:01:24,868 --> 00:01:27,948 Speaker 1: seems to have virtually all its stars right now on 25 00:01:27,988 --> 00:01:31,068 Speaker 1: the sideline. One of their new editions, however, is you 26 00:01:31,108 --> 00:01:34,668 Speaker 1: guys just mentioned, could potentially be on the field. That 27 00:01:34,908 --> 00:01:38,388 Speaker 1: is Baker Mayfield, who I'm told is expected to be 28 00:01:38,468 --> 00:01:41,548 Speaker 1: active for his new team tonight, and there is a 29 00:01:41,628 --> 00:01:44,988 Speaker 1: real chance that he could end up playing. That is 30 00:01:45,028 --> 00:01:48,188 Speaker 1: going to depend in part on how John Wolford, who's 31 00:01:48,188 --> 00:01:51,348 Speaker 1: listed as questionable with a neck injury, is feeling. I'm 32 00:01:51,348 --> 00:01:55,308 Speaker 1: told that Wolford moved around pretty well in practice on Wednesday, 33 00:01:55,308 --> 00:01:58,188 Speaker 1: so there's some optimism that he potentially can go here. 34 00:01:58,508 --> 00:02:03,428 Speaker 1: Mayfield just got claimed off the waivers on Tuesday from Carolina. 35 00:02:03,668 --> 00:02:05,868 Speaker 1: He's had a craw course in the offense. I am 36 00:02:05,908 --> 00:02:08,708 Speaker 1: told he is fully up the speed on the entire 37 00:02:08,788 --> 00:02:12,628 Speaker 1: game plan elsewhere. Bad news for the Buffalo Bills. Their 38 00:02:12,668 --> 00:02:16,948 Speaker 1: start pass rusher Von Miller underwent surgery and doctors discovered 39 00:02:16,988 --> 00:02:20,828 Speaker 1: he did in fact suffer damage to his ACL. He 40 00:02:20,948 --> 00:02:24,548 Speaker 1: is now out for the season. The initial surgery was 41 00:02:24,588 --> 00:02:27,388 Speaker 1: for his lateral meniscus and to clean up some cartilage, 42 00:02:27,388 --> 00:02:30,708 Speaker 1: but that's when they discovered the ACL injury as well. 43 00:02:30,948 --> 00:02:34,468 Speaker 1: It's the same knee in which Von towards ACL back 44 00:02:34,508 --> 00:02:37,508 Speaker 1: in twenty thirteen. So Buffalo who brought in Vaughan in 45 00:02:37,588 --> 00:02:40,348 Speaker 1: free agency on a monster contract hoping he was going 46 00:02:40,388 --> 00:02:42,748 Speaker 1: to be a missing piece for them, while the Bills 47 00:02:42,828 --> 00:02:44,508 Speaker 1: now we'll have to move forward try to make a 48 00:02:44,588 --> 00:02:47,908 Speaker 1: playoff run without him. Jabi, Tom, this was just such 49 00:02:47,988 --> 00:02:50,988 Speaker 1: brutal news to hear yesterday for the Bills defense, for 50 00:02:51,028 --> 00:02:53,708 Speaker 1: the Bills and their journey towards what they hope as 51 00:02:53,708 --> 00:02:56,308 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl appearance, super Bowl win. We've talked about 52 00:02:56,308 --> 00:02:58,948 Speaker 1: this a lot today as it pertains to the Buffalo Bills. 53 00:02:58,948 --> 00:03:01,108 Speaker 1: Pall Sarah, thank you very much. Talk to you in 54 00:03:01,188 --> 00:03:03,348 Speaker 1: a little bit. Speaking of the Bills, they currently sit 55 00:03:03,588 --> 00:03:07,348 Speaker 1: at the top spot in the AFC playoff picture. They 56 00:03:07,908 --> 00:03:10,588 Speaker 1: just took that spot over over the weekend with the 57 00:03:10,668 --> 00:03:12,988 Speaker 1: Chiefs losing to the Bengals, who are in the top 58 00:03:13,028 --> 00:03:16,628 Speaker 1: spot of the wildcard and the Ravens within that division 59 00:03:17,028 --> 00:03:19,748 Speaker 1: hold the three seed within the division. But let's focus 60 00:03:19,788 --> 00:03:22,028 Speaker 1: on the Bills, however, they are without von Miller now 61 00:03:22,108 --> 00:03:23,828 Speaker 1: for the rest of the season. This was like a 62 00:03:23,868 --> 00:03:26,308 Speaker 1: slow leak in terms of news. We were optimistic and 63 00:03:26,348 --> 00:03:28,908 Speaker 1: then now he's done for the year, not back to 64 00:03:28,948 --> 00:03:31,468 Speaker 1: the playoffs. As the Bills move forward, how does this 65 00:03:31,548 --> 00:03:34,588 Speaker 1: shake up you guys the AFC playoff picture, Peter, I 66 00:03:34,988 --> 00:03:37,548 Speaker 1: think it's actually a really fascinating storyline that was just 67 00:03:37,628 --> 00:03:40,668 Speaker 1: dropped into our laps. As we'll get started here, here's 68 00:03:40,708 --> 00:03:42,788 Speaker 1: how I look at it. You know, von Miller was 69 00:03:42,828 --> 00:03:47,348 Speaker 1: signed this summer for six years, one hundred twenty million 70 00:03:47,428 --> 00:03:50,028 Speaker 1: dollars six or he was thirty three years old, six 71 00:03:50,108 --> 00:03:52,028 Speaker 1: years and one of the reasons a lot of teams 72 00:03:52,028 --> 00:03:54,028 Speaker 1: didn't want to pay that price was a the age, 73 00:03:54,068 --> 00:03:56,348 Speaker 1: but be the injury history that Van has had a 74 00:03:56,388 --> 00:03:58,588 Speaker 1: history with injuries. And I'd pay him for two or 75 00:03:58,628 --> 00:04:01,708 Speaker 1: three years or maybe four, but I'm not given six years, 76 00:04:01,708 --> 00:04:05,388 Speaker 1: one hundred twenty million. This is year one into the contract. 77 00:04:05,628 --> 00:04:08,308 Speaker 1: Von's probably out now if you're telling me it's attorney's 78 00:04:08,668 --> 00:04:11,868 Speaker 1: Von's probably out till next October and November. Lee in 79 00:04:11,908 --> 00:04:14,868 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. Yeah, So the question is you brought 80 00:04:14,948 --> 00:04:17,628 Speaker 1: him in to be not just an inspirational leader. You 81 00:04:17,668 --> 00:04:19,708 Speaker 1: can get those guys for five hundred thousand dollars. If 82 00:04:19,748 --> 00:04:21,308 Speaker 1: you want to get some guy to rally the troops, 83 00:04:21,308 --> 00:04:23,708 Speaker 1: you brought him into be a difference maker. How do 84 00:04:23,748 --> 00:04:25,348 Speaker 1: you make up for it? And I think in the 85 00:04:25,388 --> 00:04:28,868 Speaker 1: last few weeks we've seen things from obviously at Oliver 86 00:04:28,988 --> 00:04:31,748 Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving playing well and Matt Milano has stepped up 87 00:04:31,788 --> 00:04:34,628 Speaker 1: his game. But I think this is a bigger picture 88 00:04:34,828 --> 00:04:36,988 Speaker 1: feel for the Bills where this guy was supposed to 89 00:04:37,028 --> 00:04:39,068 Speaker 1: get us over the top. He was supposed to be 90 00:04:39,068 --> 00:04:41,188 Speaker 1: the one that takes his leadership and says, come on 91 00:04:41,268 --> 00:04:43,988 Speaker 1: my back during the playoff runt, I've got you guys. 92 00:04:44,028 --> 00:04:46,708 Speaker 1: They lose that. The question is can Von's still offer 93 00:04:46,828 --> 00:04:49,668 Speaker 1: that from the sidelines? Can Von still be that guy 94 00:04:49,708 --> 00:04:52,868 Speaker 1: without being there on the field. Very interesting dynamic because, 95 00:04:52,908 --> 00:04:55,268 Speaker 1: as you've said multiple times on the show this season, 96 00:04:55,348 --> 00:04:57,988 Speaker 1: Kyle Vaughn is more than just the linebacker. Vaughn is 97 00:04:58,028 --> 00:05:00,628 Speaker 1: what they're ob one. He's their guy that has done 98 00:05:00,668 --> 00:05:02,708 Speaker 1: it not once but twice and was going to guide 99 00:05:02,708 --> 00:05:05,868 Speaker 1: them through they lost. Can he still make a difference 100 00:05:06,108 --> 00:05:08,628 Speaker 1: without being on the field. Jason, You've been on a 101 00:05:08,628 --> 00:05:10,388 Speaker 1: lot of teams, You've been the veteran, you've been the 102 00:05:10,388 --> 00:05:14,148 Speaker 1: young guy. Does the voice matter as much when he's 103 00:05:14,188 --> 00:05:16,588 Speaker 1: not out there in the trenches. Yeah, And you said 104 00:05:16,628 --> 00:05:18,588 Speaker 1: can he still make an impact? Of course he can. 105 00:05:18,748 --> 00:05:21,348 Speaker 1: Him being on the sideline, him holding that surface when 106 00:05:21,348 --> 00:05:23,108 Speaker 1: the guys come off the field to talk to him 107 00:05:23,148 --> 00:05:25,788 Speaker 1: about something he's seen him from the sideline, will be big. 108 00:05:26,148 --> 00:05:28,188 Speaker 1: But to your first point, he was brought over to 109 00:05:28,228 --> 00:05:31,428 Speaker 1: take them over the top. They're already a contender. And 110 00:05:31,668 --> 00:05:33,628 Speaker 1: when you get a guy like von Miller six years, 111 00:05:33,668 --> 00:05:36,468 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty million dollars deal, Yes, like you said, 112 00:05:36,508 --> 00:05:39,268 Speaker 1: he's coming there to make a huge difference, not only 113 00:05:39,268 --> 00:05:41,348 Speaker 1: on the sideline and in the locker room, but on 114 00:05:41,388 --> 00:05:44,028 Speaker 1: the field. You signed the veteran to like that minimum 115 00:05:44,068 --> 00:05:47,108 Speaker 1: deal or the two years four million because he comes 116 00:05:47,108 --> 00:05:49,228 Speaker 1: in and makes an impact on the field, but more 117 00:05:49,348 --> 00:05:51,428 Speaker 1: portly in the locker room. That's not why you sign 118 00:05:51,508 --> 00:05:53,788 Speaker 1: a guy like von Miller. He's there to impact, and 119 00:05:53,868 --> 00:05:56,068 Speaker 1: we watched him versus the Chief, we watched him versus 120 00:05:56,068 --> 00:05:59,188 Speaker 1: the Rams this year and those big games, closing them out, 121 00:05:59,348 --> 00:06:02,068 Speaker 1: making plays to put them over the top. I think 122 00:06:02,268 --> 00:06:04,588 Speaker 1: even lost in all of this is now they don't 123 00:06:04,628 --> 00:06:06,268 Speaker 1: have Von Miller to the arrest of the year. They 124 00:06:06,308 --> 00:06:08,908 Speaker 1: haven't had Micah Hide out there as well. Those are 125 00:06:08,948 --> 00:06:13,068 Speaker 1: two veteran guys leaders Micah Hide along with poorer on 126 00:06:13,228 --> 00:06:15,508 Speaker 1: in that defense. Those are the quarterbacks out there. And 127 00:06:15,628 --> 00:06:18,028 Speaker 1: yes they've been able to still win games. But going 128 00:06:18,068 --> 00:06:20,508 Speaker 1: into this season, you're looking and you're like, all right, yah, Jordan, 129 00:06:21,188 --> 00:06:23,988 Speaker 1: Micah Hyde in the back end, Tradevious White. Now they're 130 00:06:24,028 --> 00:06:26,508 Speaker 1: adding Von Miller to this package. We didn't get a 131 00:06:26,548 --> 00:06:28,868 Speaker 1: chance to see those guys all on the field once 132 00:06:28,948 --> 00:06:31,508 Speaker 1: this year. Tradevius White was coming off an injury. Now 133 00:06:31,588 --> 00:06:33,668 Speaker 1: Von's injury, Micah Hide is not going to be out 134 00:06:33,668 --> 00:06:35,388 Speaker 1: there the rest of the year. So I think this 135 00:06:35,468 --> 00:06:38,228 Speaker 1: is a huge blow to the Buffalo Bills defense because 136 00:06:38,308 --> 00:06:40,668 Speaker 1: it's hard to make up for a guy like Von Miller. Yes, 137 00:06:40,708 --> 00:06:43,188 Speaker 1: his presence will be felt, but they need those preussures, 138 00:06:43,268 --> 00:06:45,468 Speaker 1: those sacks late in the game. First of all, it's 139 00:06:45,508 --> 00:06:48,788 Speaker 1: just unequivocally just sucks. Yes, it sucks. You see the 140 00:06:48,788 --> 00:06:50,988 Speaker 1: news we all grown even if you're not a Bills fan. 141 00:06:51,068 --> 00:06:52,508 Speaker 1: This is a big time star trying to win the 142 00:06:52,588 --> 00:06:54,228 Speaker 1: third Super Bowl with three different teams. It's just that 143 00:06:54,708 --> 00:06:57,468 Speaker 1: in the NFL world that sucks. I was not one 144 00:06:57,508 --> 00:06:59,588 Speaker 1: of those people, and there were a lot who came 145 00:06:59,588 --> 00:07:01,948 Speaker 1: out when von became a Bill and said, this is 146 00:07:01,988 --> 00:07:03,948 Speaker 1: the guy that puts them over the top. Now they 147 00:07:03,948 --> 00:07:05,988 Speaker 1: can win the No, no, no. I think the Bills 148 00:07:05,988 --> 00:07:07,828 Speaker 1: would have been the Super Bowl favorites if von Miller 149 00:07:07,868 --> 00:07:10,508 Speaker 1: never signed with them. Last year, I still think that 150 00:07:10,548 --> 00:07:12,628 Speaker 1: they were the most impressive team in the playoffs. There's 151 00:07:12,628 --> 00:07:14,428 Speaker 1: no von Miller in that team. There's no Von Miller 152 00:07:14,428 --> 00:07:16,388 Speaker 1: going back and forth with Kansas City doing that type 153 00:07:16,388 --> 00:07:18,668 Speaker 1: of thing. The problem is one hundred and twenty million, Peter. 154 00:07:18,988 --> 00:07:20,988 Speaker 1: I feel like it was I know this sounds dramatic. 155 00:07:21,108 --> 00:07:23,028 Speaker 1: I feel like they paid him that money for one 156 00:07:23,068 --> 00:07:24,948 Speaker 1: play and it was a sack of Patrick Mahomes in 157 00:07:24,948 --> 00:07:27,388 Speaker 1: the wildcard round, or is a sack of Joe Burrow 158 00:07:27,428 --> 00:07:29,108 Speaker 1: in the championship game. It was like, just make that 159 00:07:29,148 --> 00:07:30,868 Speaker 1: play for us in January. And I know it's more 160 00:07:30,908 --> 00:07:32,388 Speaker 1: than that, but it's like that was gonna be the 161 00:07:32,468 --> 00:07:34,388 Speaker 1: von Miller moment of that's why we brought him. And 162 00:07:34,388 --> 00:07:36,588 Speaker 1: there's still enough left. As far as the Obi wan 163 00:07:36,628 --> 00:07:39,668 Speaker 1: Kenobi stuff, it's a big factor. Josh Allen respecfully never 164 00:07:39,668 --> 00:07:41,548 Speaker 1: shuts up about he loves it. He loves it. And 165 00:07:41,588 --> 00:07:44,268 Speaker 1: here's the example. They lose in the Minnesota Vikings at home. 166 00:07:44,268 --> 00:07:47,468 Speaker 1: It's their second straight loss. It's an embarrassing, weird loss 167 00:07:47,508 --> 00:07:49,628 Speaker 1: with a lot of strange things that happened, and the 168 00:07:49,668 --> 00:07:53,428 Speaker 1: Bills are down immediately after the game, mister perspective, von 169 00:07:53,508 --> 00:07:55,388 Speaker 1: Miller sits down, and look how broken up he is 170 00:07:55,388 --> 00:07:58,108 Speaker 1: about this loss. First off, like, you know, we lost 171 00:07:58,188 --> 00:08:00,468 Speaker 1: to a good team, Like they're a good team. We're 172 00:08:00,508 --> 00:08:02,508 Speaker 1: six and three. Yeah, I've been here before. I was 173 00:08:02,548 --> 00:08:05,908 Speaker 1: just here last year. Definitely not any panic for me, 174 00:08:06,268 --> 00:08:09,388 Speaker 1: if anything. Like my perspective is like I had fun today, 175 00:08:09,428 --> 00:08:13,468 Speaker 1: like today was. Today was a crazy game, dude, that 176 00:08:13,548 --> 00:08:15,068 Speaker 1: was a crazy game we just played. That was really fun. 177 00:08:15,108 --> 00:08:17,388 Speaker 1: We lost to Cares. We're six and three, it's the 178 00:08:17,388 --> 00:08:19,228 Speaker 1: middle of the season. We're gonna be fine. I don't 179 00:08:19,228 --> 00:08:20,828 Speaker 1: think i'd be on the Bills has the perspective. I 180 00:08:20,908 --> 00:08:23,348 Speaker 1: think I think they still have it, whether von Miller 181 00:08:23,508 --> 00:08:26,388 Speaker 1: is having surgery or sacking somebody in the backfield. And 182 00:08:26,468 --> 00:08:29,428 Speaker 1: I saw I saw a meme that I like that 183 00:08:29,428 --> 00:08:30,988 Speaker 1: that was perfect. I think we all are big fans 184 00:08:31,028 --> 00:08:34,868 Speaker 1: of the classic Alonso morning Gift where he's on this side, 185 00:08:36,188 --> 00:08:38,388 Speaker 1: and it's like when von Miller gets hurt, but Josh 186 00:08:38,388 --> 00:08:40,228 Speaker 1: Allen's still your quarterback, And I was like, yeah, I 187 00:08:40,228 --> 00:08:42,508 Speaker 1: get that. I still think they're my super Bowl pick. 188 00:08:42,548 --> 00:08:44,588 Speaker 1: I still like him. It hurts, It sucks for sure 189 00:08:44,948 --> 00:08:46,428 Speaker 1: they were gonna win the super Bowl in my mind 190 00:08:46,428 --> 00:08:48,788 Speaker 1: when before von Miller even got there. But there's a 191 00:08:48,868 --> 00:08:51,308 Speaker 1: very tricky part to navigating a Super Bowl, I think, 192 00:08:51,428 --> 00:08:54,228 Speaker 1: and they brought him in for his play, for his leadership, 193 00:08:54,268 --> 00:08:57,228 Speaker 1: but I think also his experience within that game within 194 00:08:57,268 --> 00:08:59,428 Speaker 1: that week. Von Miller is the only player to have 195 00:08:59,508 --> 00:09:01,588 Speaker 1: won two Super Bowls, one of which he's been an MVP, 196 00:09:01,828 --> 00:09:03,948 Speaker 1: and then go win another super Bowl with a different team. 197 00:09:04,028 --> 00:09:06,428 Speaker 1: He was about to become the second player to ever 198 00:09:06,428 --> 00:09:08,828 Speaker 1: win Super Bowl three different teams. He has a certain 199 00:09:08,948 --> 00:09:12,588 Speaker 1: Jenna say qua about playing for a Lombardy and Jason, 200 00:09:12,668 --> 00:09:14,588 Speaker 1: you can speak to this and I know, as you know, 201 00:09:14,628 --> 00:09:17,308 Speaker 1: we all have covered super Bowls. There is a trick 202 00:09:17,348 --> 00:09:20,268 Speaker 1: and a challenge to navigating Super Bowl Week, the weeks 203 00:09:20,388 --> 00:09:24,268 Speaker 1: leading up to it. That is an emotionally draining, costly 204 00:09:24,428 --> 00:09:26,988 Speaker 1: period if you allow it to be. If you show 205 00:09:27,028 --> 00:09:29,388 Speaker 1: up a Monday night media night and you stand on 206 00:09:29,428 --> 00:09:32,148 Speaker 1: your legs for too long, if you agree to one 207 00:09:32,228 --> 00:09:34,668 Speaker 1: too many paid appearances, or if you sit at your 208 00:09:34,668 --> 00:09:36,628 Speaker 1: little kitchen table for too long and allow too many 209 00:09:36,628 --> 00:09:38,508 Speaker 1: people to come at you with all these questions. Super 210 00:09:38,588 --> 00:09:41,108 Speaker 1: Bowl week is a bear. And von Miller, for all 211 00:09:41,108 --> 00:09:42,588 Speaker 1: the things that he did for this team with his 212 00:09:42,668 --> 00:09:45,348 Speaker 1: talent and his skill, I think that is where also 213 00:09:45,428 --> 00:09:46,988 Speaker 1: he would have made his money for this team. Now 214 00:09:46,988 --> 00:09:48,788 Speaker 1: he can still do that on the sideline. Don't get 215 00:09:48,828 --> 00:09:51,188 Speaker 1: me wrong, but this is a team that has massive 216 00:09:51,228 --> 00:09:53,828 Speaker 1: expectations that have gone to this pass offseason, and he 217 00:09:53,908 --> 00:09:55,308 Speaker 1: was going to be brought in and maybe on a 218 00:09:55,348 --> 00:09:57,988 Speaker 1: Tuesday of Super Bowl Week, guys, let's go bring it 219 00:09:58,068 --> 00:10:01,028 Speaker 1: back in, take the emotional back down here because we 220 00:10:01,108 --> 00:10:03,508 Speaker 1: need it here on Sunday. I know he can still 221 00:10:03,508 --> 00:10:06,268 Speaker 1: do that, but whether or not it's just as impactful 222 00:10:06,308 --> 00:10:07,948 Speaker 1: with him not being on the field remains to me 223 00:10:08,028 --> 00:10:09,588 Speaker 1: the question. But he was so fun to see. When 224 00:10:09,628 --> 00:10:11,668 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with those two teams, it does turn 225 00:10:11,748 --> 00:10:13,588 Speaker 1: things upside down a bit too. And I look at that, 226 00:10:13,628 --> 00:10:15,628 Speaker 1: I look at those teams right beneath us. Right now, 227 00:10:15,748 --> 00:10:17,388 Speaker 1: Kyle said, you're still picking him, and it's fine. I 228 00:10:17,388 --> 00:10:19,988 Speaker 1: don't think everyone would because von Miller was expected to 229 00:10:20,028 --> 00:10:21,868 Speaker 1: be that guy. So now are the chiefs of team 230 00:10:21,908 --> 00:10:23,668 Speaker 1: well they just lost last week, or the Ravens a team, 231 00:10:23,668 --> 00:10:25,188 Speaker 1: well they almost lost last week, and they also the 232 00:10:25,268 --> 00:10:27,708 Speaker 1: Jaguars Titans have lost two straight, Bengals are hot, Dolphins 233 00:10:27,708 --> 00:10:30,628 Speaker 1: just lost yet it's wide open, which I think that 234 00:10:30,788 --> 00:10:33,068 Speaker 1: the bill is coming into this news where the runaway 235 00:10:33,108 --> 00:10:35,388 Speaker 1: Everyone's like, all right, but Buffalo Duffalos number one and 236 00:10:35,468 --> 00:10:37,588 Speaker 1: can go to buff that von Miller. I think it changed. 237 00:10:37,628 --> 00:10:39,468 Speaker 1: I think it's I think the perspective though, it is 238 00:10:39,468 --> 00:10:42,348 Speaker 1: like von Miller was not a necessity for the Bills. Yeah, 239 00:10:42,428 --> 00:10:45,228 Speaker 1: dollar was a luxury. Yeah he was heated floors in 240 00:10:45,228 --> 00:10:46,628 Speaker 1: your bathroom. You don't need that crap. But like it 241 00:10:46,668 --> 00:10:48,508 Speaker 1: kind of feels nice, like you said, you know, they 242 00:10:48,508 --> 00:10:50,468 Speaker 1: were going back and forth with Kansas City. He wasn't 243 00:10:50,468 --> 00:10:51,868 Speaker 1: on that field. Well, if he was on that field, 244 00:10:51,868 --> 00:10:54,348 Speaker 1: maybe they're not going back and forth with kansa swift 245 00:10:54,388 --> 00:10:56,828 Speaker 1: picket they win the damn game, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, 246 00:10:56,868 --> 00:11:00,388 Speaker 1: I hear it. I think it was for the experience, 247 00:11:00,388 --> 00:11:02,668 Speaker 1: but also, like to your point, make the big play 248 00:11:02,708 --> 00:11:05,628 Speaker 1: in the big game. It's not gonna be there. Why 249 00:11:05,668 --> 00:11:09,148 Speaker 1: am I talking about January of ninety eight. It's the 250 00:11:09,268 --> 00:11:12,468 Speaker 1: last time both the Dolphins and the Jets made the 251 00:11:12,468 --> 00:11:15,348 Speaker 1: playoffs in the same season. So let's bring it to 252 00:11:15,388 --> 00:11:17,428 Speaker 1: the present, guys. Right now, if you look at the 253 00:11:17,428 --> 00:11:21,868 Speaker 1: playoff picture, the Jets and Dolphins are currently in those 254 00:11:21,908 --> 00:11:26,308 Speaker 1: final two wildcard spots. Both teams, though coming off some 255 00:11:26,388 --> 00:11:29,708 Speaker 1: deflating losses, Jets less than the maybe the Dolphins. And 256 00:11:29,748 --> 00:11:34,588 Speaker 1: they have these schedules remaining Dolphins primetime, then the Bills, 257 00:11:34,628 --> 00:11:38,468 Speaker 1: then the Packers, Patriots, and then they play in Week eighteen. 258 00:11:39,188 --> 00:11:41,748 Speaker 1: Getting giddy over here because the Jets haven't been relevant 259 00:11:41,748 --> 00:11:44,788 Speaker 1: and sometime the Dolphins haven't been really relevant, and sometime 260 00:11:44,868 --> 00:11:47,268 Speaker 1: here is the statement for believe it or not, the 261 00:11:47,308 --> 00:11:51,348 Speaker 1: Dolphins and the Jets will both make the playoffs this season. 262 00:11:51,828 --> 00:11:54,828 Speaker 1: Jason Mccording, what do you say? This is a fall up? 263 00:11:55,148 --> 00:11:59,948 Speaker 1: I am going not too good to be true. Everybody 264 00:11:59,988 --> 00:12:02,508 Speaker 1: can't make the playoffs, and I don't think this many 265 00:12:02,588 --> 00:12:06,108 Speaker 1: teams are gonna go from the a somebody else is 266 00:12:06,148 --> 00:12:09,108 Speaker 1: going to step up. Yesterday we talked about which five 267 00:12:09,188 --> 00:12:11,188 Speaker 1: win teams have the best chance to go on a 268 00:12:11,228 --> 00:12:14,348 Speaker 1: playoff run. You went with the Raiders, I said the Steelers. 269 00:12:14,388 --> 00:12:16,708 Speaker 1: These are teams at a raid there in the hunt. 270 00:12:16,828 --> 00:12:20,148 Speaker 1: I don't see the Jets holding on to be able 271 00:12:20,148 --> 00:12:22,308 Speaker 1: to make it into the playoffs. Mike White has played 272 00:12:22,388 --> 00:12:25,068 Speaker 1: really well the last two weeks, but it just it 273 00:12:25,228 --> 00:12:27,548 Speaker 1: sounds so great. It's a beautiful thing. But I don't 274 00:12:27,548 --> 00:12:29,428 Speaker 1: see both of these teams making it in the playoffs. 275 00:12:29,468 --> 00:12:30,988 Speaker 1: And I think it's going to be the Jets that 276 00:12:31,108 --> 00:12:33,868 Speaker 1: falter throughout these last five weeks. Believe it, baby, you 277 00:12:33,908 --> 00:12:36,428 Speaker 1: know how fun that would be from nineteen ninety eight, 278 00:12:36,508 --> 00:12:37,908 Speaker 1: bring it all the way to twenty twenty two and 279 00:12:37,988 --> 00:12:39,948 Speaker 1: have both the Dolphins and the Jets make the playoffs. 280 00:12:39,988 --> 00:12:42,268 Speaker 1: That just means that the AFC playoff picture holds true 281 00:12:42,348 --> 00:12:44,628 Speaker 1: as it remains today. I feel very comfortable with the 282 00:12:44,668 --> 00:12:47,268 Speaker 1: seven teams that sit in the playoffs right now from 283 00:12:47,268 --> 00:12:48,988 Speaker 1: the AFC. My only concern is when we had to 284 00:12:49,028 --> 00:12:51,188 Speaker 1: bring Mike North back for this one, does that mean 285 00:12:51,228 --> 00:12:53,828 Speaker 1: that when they play Week eighteen, they could eliminate each other, 286 00:12:53,868 --> 00:12:56,868 Speaker 1: which would be heartbreak? Cochel, that's amazing, TV. I know 287 00:12:56,908 --> 00:12:59,028 Speaker 1: it is that I wanted to happen for you, believe 288 00:12:59,028 --> 00:13:02,028 Speaker 1: it or not. As heartbreak. I know, but I believe 289 00:13:02,068 --> 00:13:04,028 Speaker 1: it because that just means that because I see those 290 00:13:04,028 --> 00:13:06,508 Speaker 1: teams are in the hunt, and they're in a hunt 291 00:13:06,548 --> 00:13:08,788 Speaker 1: for a reason. They haven't played great from the Patriots 292 00:13:08,828 --> 00:13:11,068 Speaker 1: on down. I believe it. M I believe. I want 293 00:13:11,068 --> 00:13:15,868 Speaker 1: how about Rob Marion Furbies Titanic still goes for me? 294 00:13:16,228 --> 00:13:19,948 Speaker 1: Put your hands on me, Jack, Yeah, of course I was. 295 00:13:20,308 --> 00:13:22,508 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out on this. Yeah, I have. I 296 00:13:22,548 --> 00:13:24,708 Speaker 1: have concerns about the Jets too, and we haven't talked 297 00:13:24,708 --> 00:13:26,308 Speaker 1: about this much this week. We got to get to it. 298 00:13:26,628 --> 00:13:29,708 Speaker 1: Last year, the Mike White hive was so fired up 299 00:13:29,708 --> 00:13:33,108 Speaker 1: and so excited. The iceberg, if you will, was Buffalo. 300 00:13:33,508 --> 00:13:35,908 Speaker 1: Mike White was, this was the toast of this town 301 00:13:36,268 --> 00:13:38,188 Speaker 1: and we're, oh my god, we found our guy. We 302 00:13:38,308 --> 00:13:40,628 Speaker 1: throw four picks against the Bills and it just went 303 00:13:40,668 --> 00:13:44,348 Speaker 1: down fast right ahead. That was what ended the Mike 304 00:13:44,388 --> 00:13:47,348 Speaker 1: White experience. Now, look, they beat Buffalo this year under 305 00:13:47,428 --> 00:13:51,388 Speaker 1: very different circumstances. But Mike White's going up to Buffalo 306 00:13:51,508 --> 00:13:54,388 Speaker 1: this weekend. They have a weird emotional state right now 307 00:13:54,388 --> 00:13:57,108 Speaker 1: with bron going down. Pde talked about their Jets schedule 308 00:13:57,108 --> 00:13:58,268 Speaker 1: on the way out. I still I think we all 309 00:13:58,268 --> 00:14:00,548 Speaker 1: still kind of believe in Miami. I'm worried about the Jets, 310 00:14:00,548 --> 00:14:02,908 Speaker 1: and I love Sala, but he's gonna have to really 311 00:14:02,948 --> 00:14:04,588 Speaker 1: coach the falling about the Dolphins. I think a lot 312 00:14:04,588 --> 00:14:09,508 Speaker 1: of people fled town after the loss. Yeah, I think 313 00:14:09,508 --> 00:14:12,868 Speaker 1: they're We're almost Peter getting ready to start a few 314 00:14:12,868 --> 00:14:15,908 Speaker 1: more weeks. We're gonna start talking those two thousand Ravens. 315 00:14:16,668 --> 00:14:18,468 Speaker 1: We're not there yet, but we're getting a little bit 316 00:14:18,508 --> 00:14:21,628 Speaker 1: close the ultimate compliment. That's good. Um. Yesterday in the show, 317 00:14:21,668 --> 00:14:24,748 Speaker 1: you mentioned Mike North. He runs the scheduling department with 318 00:14:24,788 --> 00:14:28,188 Speaker 1: the NFL with Charlotte Carry They came on our show 319 00:14:28,188 --> 00:14:31,348 Speaker 1: and they explained the intricacies to flex scheduling and why 320 00:14:31,388 --> 00:14:34,108 Speaker 1: some games go to Sunday nights in some games stay 321 00:14:34,108 --> 00:14:37,188 Speaker 1: in their usual earlier late game windows. They also mentioned 322 00:14:37,188 --> 00:14:40,348 Speaker 1: one matchup in particular that got us thinking, the Christmas 323 00:14:40,388 --> 00:14:44,988 Speaker 1: Eve game. Here is the statement Eagles at Cowboys on 324 00:14:45,188 --> 00:14:51,588 Speaker 1: Christmas Eve will be the highest regular season rated game 325 00:14:52,028 --> 00:14:54,908 Speaker 1: in NFL histories. Let me preface it with this Thanksgiving 326 00:14:54,988 --> 00:14:59,268 Speaker 1: Day Giants Cowboys got the mark as the highest rated 327 00:14:59,388 --> 00:15:03,988 Speaker 1: NFL game of all time. Season forty two million will 328 00:15:04,028 --> 00:15:06,708 Speaker 1: the Chris Smissive Cowboys Eagles game. Top it on a 329 00:15:06,748 --> 00:15:10,988 Speaker 1: Sunday on fire on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday. Okay, 330 00:15:10,988 --> 00:15:12,548 Speaker 1: because I think that matters. Yeah, Hey, what do you go? 331 00:15:12,628 --> 00:15:14,628 Speaker 1: I'm rolling with it. I believe it. I'm going all 332 00:15:14,668 --> 00:15:17,348 Speaker 1: in one. Yes, the stars will be out. You have 333 00:15:17,428 --> 00:15:20,188 Speaker 1: your jail and Hurst, your Micael Parsons, your Travon Diggs 334 00:15:20,188 --> 00:15:23,308 Speaker 1: and Dak Prescott's. The quarterbacks are both coming in and 335 00:15:23,348 --> 00:15:25,748 Speaker 1: this is a game that at this point there's gonna 336 00:15:25,748 --> 00:15:28,708 Speaker 1: be a lot of division implications and playoff implications in 337 00:15:28,748 --> 00:15:30,908 Speaker 1: this game, and I'm fired up to see it. We 338 00:15:30,948 --> 00:15:34,908 Speaker 1: saw Cowboys, Giants, NFC East battles. This is what we 339 00:15:35,028 --> 00:15:37,708 Speaker 1: all want to see. And it's the holiday season. Yes, 340 00:15:37,788 --> 00:15:41,308 Speaker 1: I know Thanksgiving is family in football. Why can't Christmas 341 00:15:41,348 --> 00:15:43,348 Speaker 1: Eve be that too. It's gonna be Christmas Week and 342 00:15:43,468 --> 00:15:46,468 Speaker 1: college kids at home, families are getting together, sitting around 343 00:15:46,468 --> 00:15:49,188 Speaker 1: the fire, listening to that Christmas music, put on a 344 00:15:49,228 --> 00:15:52,468 Speaker 1: little bit of football, Get excited, get fired up. I 345 00:15:52,508 --> 00:15:55,148 Speaker 1: think this one tops it. Why not go over even 346 00:15:55,188 --> 00:15:57,708 Speaker 1: bigger from Thanksgiving? I just think the timings right, I'm 347 00:15:57,708 --> 00:15:59,708 Speaker 1: all in on it. Why not? I work for the network. 348 00:15:59,748 --> 00:16:01,828 Speaker 1: I work for the NFL. Let's get all this money 349 00:16:01,828 --> 00:16:04,828 Speaker 1: and continue to get the viewers there. I tried to 350 00:16:04,828 --> 00:16:06,868 Speaker 1: put this one in perspective. What was the number from Thanksgiving? 351 00:16:06,948 --> 00:16:10,068 Speaker 1: Forty two million? And I really believe it's going to 352 00:16:10,108 --> 00:16:12,068 Speaker 1: be more. I think they're going to outlast this so 353 00:16:12,188 --> 00:16:14,828 Speaker 1: much so that I instead just looked up programming of 354 00:16:14,828 --> 00:16:17,428 Speaker 1: all sorts on television to see what number they could hit. 355 00:16:17,708 --> 00:16:22,228 Speaker 1: Wre we Go the Mash season finale, watch is the 356 00:16:22,268 --> 00:16:24,188 Speaker 1: most watch. She's a finale of all time, one hundred 357 00:16:24,228 --> 00:16:29,348 Speaker 1: five million people. The episode, the final episode was called Goodbye, 358 00:16:29,388 --> 00:16:31,468 Speaker 1: Farewell and Amen. And that's what I feel like is 359 00:16:31,468 --> 00:16:32,908 Speaker 1: going to happen to one of those two teams in 360 00:16:32,948 --> 00:16:36,228 Speaker 1: this uh this game is someone's gonna have a top 361 00:16:36,308 --> 00:16:38,308 Speaker 1: spot in the NFC East and the other one is 362 00:16:38,348 --> 00:16:39,988 Speaker 1: going to have to say goodbye for a well and amen. 363 00:16:40,468 --> 00:16:41,948 Speaker 1: Maybe not to the playoffs, just in that game. I 364 00:16:41,948 --> 00:16:44,028 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be great. Hundred hundred and six million, 365 00:16:44,068 --> 00:16:46,548 Speaker 1: Why not I number two million people? Just a little 366 00:16:46,588 --> 00:16:48,548 Speaker 1: more context. Yeah, I feel like the detail. I feel 367 00:16:48,548 --> 00:16:51,028 Speaker 1: like it's the top scores on the video game yet. 368 00:16:51,148 --> 00:16:53,228 Speaker 1: All right, the number one all time regular season game 369 00:16:53,268 --> 00:16:56,068 Speaker 1: Giants Cowboy two weeks to a forty two million. Last 370 00:16:56,148 --> 00:16:59,268 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Raiders Cowboys is also in the top three, and 371 00:16:59,268 --> 00:17:02,588 Speaker 1: then Crazy the other top three. Nineteen ninety Giants Niners. 372 00:17:02,588 --> 00:17:05,788 Speaker 1: On a Monday night football Phil SMS versus Montana forty 373 00:17:05,788 --> 00:17:08,028 Speaker 1: one and a half millions. We're undefeated Tenano. At the time, 374 00:17:08,068 --> 00:17:10,508 Speaker 1: it was a seven to three game. Candlestick, Yeah, Peter, 375 00:17:10,548 --> 00:17:12,308 Speaker 1: look at you. So it's it's all over the map. 376 00:17:12,868 --> 00:17:16,188 Speaker 1: Will this game crack in? I'm gonna go out, all right, 377 00:17:16,228 --> 00:17:18,068 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go It is not going to crack in 378 00:17:18,228 --> 00:17:20,148 Speaker 1: the matchups there, it's it's the teams he wants to 379 00:17:20,188 --> 00:17:22,108 Speaker 1: quarterbacks you want, Jason, I think you you kind of 380 00:17:22,148 --> 00:17:25,668 Speaker 1: flirted with it here Christmas Eve on a Saturday afternoon. 381 00:17:25,828 --> 00:17:28,508 Speaker 1: Now here's the Dems going on Thanksgiving. You're just sitting 382 00:17:28,508 --> 00:17:30,988 Speaker 1: your big button down and just watching TV on a 383 00:17:31,108 --> 00:17:35,468 Speaker 1: Christmas afternoon. Christmas movies are much more of a thing 384 00:17:35,588 --> 00:17:38,908 Speaker 1: than Thanksgiving moves. You're watching the Grizzwolds, You're watching whatever 385 00:17:38,948 --> 00:17:40,348 Speaker 1: you're into. I gotta eat so I can take my 386 00:17:40,388 --> 00:17:42,828 Speaker 1: back pill. The kids aren't sitting there like the kids. 387 00:17:42,868 --> 00:17:45,588 Speaker 1: You'll just go outside. Let's do this, they're way too excited. 388 00:17:45,868 --> 00:17:48,068 Speaker 1: Maybe you go to like an early Christmas Eve mass. 389 00:17:48,188 --> 00:17:52,188 Speaker 1: There are tangible distractions on Christmas Eve that do not 390 00:17:52,348 --> 00:17:54,788 Speaker 1: exist on Thanksgiving. Again, I don't think instead of coincidence, 391 00:17:54,788 --> 00:17:56,108 Speaker 1: the two of the three top right at all time, 392 00:17:56,388 --> 00:17:59,708 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day exposed to Christmas around there, that's my I'm 393 00:17:59,748 --> 00:18:03,548 Speaker 1: thinking they're the only games on Thanksgiving in that window, 394 00:18:03,708 --> 00:18:07,028 Speaker 1: so everyone one's watching one game, this one. There are 395 00:18:07,068 --> 00:18:09,748 Speaker 1: other games on CBS, there's other games earlier the day 396 00:18:09,788 --> 00:18:11,868 Speaker 1: than other games. And I think he might be right, 397 00:18:11,908 --> 00:18:13,468 Speaker 1: But gosh, is that not a good game. That's a 398 00:18:13,468 --> 00:18:16,628 Speaker 1: great game. Forty two million people watched on Thanksgiving. I'm 399 00:18:16,628 --> 00:18:20,268 Speaker 1: gonna say overrun. I'm gonna say thirty seven million, thirty 400 00:18:20,308 --> 00:18:24,828 Speaker 1: seven I'll be watching Chevy Chason, Beverly Deangel. I'll be 401 00:18:24,828 --> 00:18:26,588 Speaker 1: watching the game. I'm on it coming up later. What 402 00:18:26,628 --> 00:18:29,068 Speaker 1: will it take for those Las Vegas Raiders to make 403 00:18:29,108 --> 00:18:31,828 Speaker 1: the playoffs this year? This is the Christmas miracle we're 404 00:18:31,868 --> 00:18:34,708 Speaker 1: all sort of rooting for. It starts tonight against the Rams, 405 00:18:34,828 --> 00:18:36,708 Speaker 1: and for the love of God, McVay put Baker Mayfield 406 00:18:36,708 --> 00:18:39,268 Speaker 1: out their quarterback. We want it. Mash Finale hundred and 407 00:18:39,308 --> 00:18:53,268 Speaker 1: five millions would SignAll Coy. What about those Raiders. I 408 00:18:53,308 --> 00:18:56,548 Speaker 1: feel like you hung true here. You kept nodding your 409 00:18:56,548 --> 00:18:59,508 Speaker 1: head when people would knock them. And Josh McDaniels this 410 00:18:59,628 --> 00:19:02,028 Speaker 1: and that week. Yeah, I'm a believer in Josh McDaniels. 411 00:19:02,108 --> 00:19:03,868 Speaker 1: I was around that guy in New England. I think 412 00:19:03,908 --> 00:19:05,828 Speaker 1: he's a really good coach. I think he's a good leader. 413 00:19:05,948 --> 00:19:08,548 Speaker 1: And Peter alluded to yesterday talked about five win teams 414 00:19:08,548 --> 00:19:10,668 Speaker 1: and the Raiders. They have a little winning street going 415 00:19:10,788 --> 00:19:14,148 Speaker 1: right now. DeVante Adams, Josh Jacobs are hitting on all cylinders. 416 00:19:14,348 --> 00:19:15,908 Speaker 1: I'm want to talk about it guy on defense in 417 00:19:15,908 --> 00:19:17,348 Speaker 1: a little bit. That kind of had a game this 418 00:19:17,388 --> 00:19:20,188 Speaker 1: past week. Television teas. That's why you're a professional, all right. 419 00:19:20,228 --> 00:19:22,228 Speaker 1: That's what's happening with the Rams right now. They are 420 00:19:22,268 --> 00:19:25,308 Speaker 1: currently the fifteenth seed in the NFC, on the verge 421 00:19:25,348 --> 00:19:28,068 Speaker 1: of being mathematically eliminated. But let's focus on the AFC, 422 00:19:28,268 --> 00:19:31,108 Speaker 1: shall we. The Raiders. The Raiders, you see them on 423 00:19:31,108 --> 00:19:33,428 Speaker 1: the right side of the screen, halfway down. They're technically 424 00:19:33,428 --> 00:19:35,108 Speaker 1: in the hunch. They were featured as one of our 425 00:19:35,148 --> 00:19:40,388 Speaker 1: five win teams to consider within the AFC. And here's 426 00:19:40,388 --> 00:19:43,068 Speaker 1: what they have to look down the gauntlet raiding schedule 427 00:19:43,148 --> 00:19:46,308 Speaker 1: for the Las Vegas Raiders. That Week eighteen game against 428 00:19:46,308 --> 00:19:49,148 Speaker 1: the Chiefs looming, but could be very meaningful and pactful 429 00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:52,228 Speaker 1: within their division and the AFC as we look ahead. 430 00:19:52,468 --> 00:19:55,468 Speaker 1: So the Raiders still within the potential to make a 431 00:19:55,588 --> 00:19:58,788 Speaker 1: run at the playoffs. What has to happen. Josh Jacobs 432 00:19:58,788 --> 00:20:01,588 Speaker 1: has to be the greatest player in the history of 433 00:20:01,588 --> 00:20:03,868 Speaker 1: the sport. Well guess what he has been. I mean, 434 00:20:04,588 --> 00:20:07,028 Speaker 1: I just want to talk to Josh Jacobs here, and they're, 435 00:20:07,068 --> 00:20:09,508 Speaker 1: you know, getting great stuff out of Davante Adams. But 436 00:20:09,548 --> 00:20:11,548 Speaker 1: what Josh Jacobs is doing has been under the radar 437 00:20:11,628 --> 00:20:14,348 Speaker 1: because he hasn't been on national TV and the Raiders 438 00:20:14,348 --> 00:20:16,988 Speaker 1: were dismissed after starting two and seven. But the long 439 00:20:17,068 --> 00:20:19,188 Speaker 1: story with Jacobs is well known. He didn't get his 440 00:20:19,228 --> 00:20:21,108 Speaker 1: fifth year option picked up. It's kind of playing on 441 00:20:21,148 --> 00:20:22,748 Speaker 1: what he felt like was to a lot of people, 442 00:20:22,788 --> 00:20:24,108 Speaker 1: a lame duck year. And he's gone on and he's 443 00:20:24,108 --> 00:20:26,828 Speaker 1: the best running back in football this season. And some 444 00:20:26,948 --> 00:20:29,188 Speaker 1: of these things are amazing, all right, he said, two 445 00:20:29,308 --> 00:20:32,028 Speaker 1: separate three game streaks of one hundred and fifty scrimmage 446 00:20:32,068 --> 00:20:34,628 Speaker 1: yards or more, no one's done that in fifteen years. 447 00:20:34,788 --> 00:20:38,308 Speaker 1: He leaves the NFL in accounting for eighty seven percent 448 00:20:38,348 --> 00:20:40,268 Speaker 1: of this team's rushing yards, meaning every time they hand 449 00:20:40,268 --> 00:20:42,388 Speaker 1: the ball off or they run the ball, it's him. 450 00:20:42,468 --> 00:20:45,788 Speaker 1: That hasn't been done since two thousand and six when 451 00:20:45,908 --> 00:20:48,348 Speaker 1: Edren James and that for the Cardinals. On a team, 452 00:20:48,548 --> 00:20:52,628 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs has been the workload, but the workhorse. But 453 00:20:52,708 --> 00:20:55,108 Speaker 1: he's also been the MVP of this team this season. 454 00:20:55,188 --> 00:20:57,548 Speaker 1: Look at this. This is not amongst the raiders. This 455 00:20:57,548 --> 00:21:01,228 Speaker 1: isn't The NFL leads in rushing yards, scrimmage yards, rushing 456 00:21:01,268 --> 00:21:03,148 Speaker 1: first downs, the longest rushing of the season, the eighty 457 00:21:03,188 --> 00:21:07,508 Speaker 1: six yard rush yards after contact. He's having an incredible 458 00:21:07,548 --> 00:21:10,788 Speaker 1: season in what was considered a lame duck season for 459 00:21:10,828 --> 00:21:13,468 Speaker 1: a team he probably wouldn't be with next year. But 460 00:21:13,588 --> 00:21:15,388 Speaker 1: in the fifth year of his career, he has said, 461 00:21:15,428 --> 00:21:17,388 Speaker 1: put it on my shoulders, I will take care of 462 00:21:17,428 --> 00:21:19,388 Speaker 1: his of the fourth year. Put it on my shoulders, 463 00:21:19,428 --> 00:21:21,588 Speaker 1: I'll take us there. And I have no doubt, especially 464 00:21:21,588 --> 00:21:23,628 Speaker 1: if Aaron Donald's not out there and he's going to 465 00:21:23,748 --> 00:21:25,428 Speaker 1: run for one hundred and fifty to night. It's what 466 00:21:25,508 --> 00:21:27,988 Speaker 1: they do and if they can win this way. Their 467 00:21:28,028 --> 00:21:30,108 Speaker 1: schedule I think is favorable. I know a lot of people. 468 00:21:30,228 --> 00:21:34,108 Speaker 1: Everyone's pointing out the last two weeks that they've got this, 469 00:21:34,108 --> 00:21:36,908 Speaker 1: this double decker between the forty nine Ers and the Chiefs, 470 00:21:36,948 --> 00:21:39,588 Speaker 1: two home games here, those games are at home. And 471 00:21:39,628 --> 00:21:42,028 Speaker 1: you're telling me that there right now winners a three straight. Now, 472 00:21:42,028 --> 00:21:45,588 Speaker 1: they'd be four straight, five straight, six straight going into 473 00:21:45,628 --> 00:21:48,268 Speaker 1: the Niners. The Niners and Chiefs might not be playing 474 00:21:48,268 --> 00:21:52,628 Speaker 1: for division titles. They might be thinking about what playoff runs. 475 00:21:52,748 --> 00:21:55,388 Speaker 1: Let's rest our starters. Good point. I think the Raiders 476 00:21:55,388 --> 00:21:56,868 Speaker 1: have a chair to here. They could run the table 477 00:21:56,908 --> 00:21:59,428 Speaker 1: and find themselves ten and seven in the playoffs. O listen, 478 00:21:59,948 --> 00:22:02,708 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs could go for three thousand yards this season. 479 00:22:02,868 --> 00:22:05,668 Speaker 1: That might not mean anything. They have lost the luxury 480 00:22:05,708 --> 00:22:08,308 Speaker 1: to decide their own fate. Doesn't matter if they win 481 00:22:08,348 --> 00:22:10,508 Speaker 1: the rest of their games. You have to pay the 482 00:22:10,508 --> 00:22:12,948 Speaker 1: piper for September and October. You don't just get the 483 00:22:13,148 --> 00:22:15,508 Speaker 1: lansing and say we're here already. Let me tell you 484 00:22:15,588 --> 00:22:18,908 Speaker 1: something about the playoffs. There's no vacancy. You can't show 485 00:22:18,988 --> 00:22:20,828 Speaker 1: up to the fourth seasons, say can I get an 486 00:22:20,828 --> 00:22:23,268 Speaker 1: early check it? No, there's people in the room right now. 487 00:22:23,948 --> 00:22:26,668 Speaker 1: So listen with the late surge, Peter, that's great. We've 488 00:22:26,668 --> 00:22:29,068 Speaker 1: seen many teams make a late surgeon. They how does 489 00:22:29,068 --> 00:22:31,348 Speaker 1: this team not get in because they sucked for two months? 490 00:22:31,348 --> 00:22:33,228 Speaker 1: That's not the way it works. So not only do 491 00:22:33,268 --> 00:22:35,388 Speaker 1: you need the surge, you need something that's even more 492 00:22:35,428 --> 00:22:38,508 Speaker 1: fun to watch the collapse. We need to start rooting 493 00:22:38,508 --> 00:22:41,228 Speaker 1: of a Raiders fans against some other teams. And I 494 00:22:41,268 --> 00:22:42,588 Speaker 1: got a few teams are a little taste that you 495 00:22:42,628 --> 00:22:44,708 Speaker 1: want to root for. These are teams that may not 496 00:22:44,788 --> 00:22:47,588 Speaker 1: win the division, but are sitting on your wildcard spot. 497 00:22:47,948 --> 00:22:50,708 Speaker 1: So right now, if you're the Raiders fans, you hate 498 00:22:50,788 --> 00:22:54,308 Speaker 1: the Jets, you hate the Chargers, And I'll tell you something, 499 00:22:54,388 --> 00:22:56,628 Speaker 1: the Ravens are feeling pretty tasty right now. As a 500 00:22:56,668 --> 00:22:58,468 Speaker 1: team that's not maybe playing this best ball on their 501 00:22:58,548 --> 00:23:00,748 Speaker 1: quarterbacks hurt. You need to watch those games every single week. 502 00:23:00,828 --> 00:23:03,268 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs could be Josh Jacobs and Crosby and Davante 503 00:23:03,508 --> 00:23:05,668 Speaker 1: and it's nothing you don't get to get in. Think 504 00:23:05,668 --> 00:23:08,068 Speaker 1: about last year, all right, the Raiders win four in 505 00:23:08,108 --> 00:23:10,188 Speaker 1: a row to make the playoffs. You know why they 506 00:23:10,268 --> 00:23:11,988 Speaker 1: made the plass foreigner who cares a lot of teams 507 00:23:12,028 --> 00:23:14,428 Speaker 1: have done that. Because the Chargers lost three out of four. 508 00:23:14,588 --> 00:23:16,788 Speaker 1: The Chargers were sitting at eight and five and oh 509 00:23:16,868 --> 00:23:19,908 Speaker 1: my god, justin Herbert win the whole thing and they collapsed. 510 00:23:20,108 --> 00:23:23,268 Speaker 1: There is no we punched our ticket week eighteen unless 511 00:23:23,308 --> 00:23:25,868 Speaker 1: somebody chokes the butt off. And I'm looking at Ravens 512 00:23:25,948 --> 00:23:27,508 Speaker 1: death and Shi, I'm not saying they're going to I'm 513 00:23:27,508 --> 00:23:29,588 Speaker 1: saying those are the team, the Raiders. Now you're fans 514 00:23:29,588 --> 00:23:32,828 Speaker 1: of the Chargers losing, Jets, Ravens, that's what you're rooting for. 515 00:23:32,868 --> 00:23:34,948 Speaker 1: Everybody that's it. You gotta have it. It only works 516 00:23:34,948 --> 00:23:37,348 Speaker 1: with one way, your spot on or that, no doubt 517 00:23:37,388 --> 00:23:39,388 Speaker 1: about it. And they just beat the Charges in. One 518 00:23:39,428 --> 00:23:42,468 Speaker 1: of the guys that really helped do that was Chandler Jones, 519 00:23:42,508 --> 00:23:45,668 Speaker 1: a guy out day to come over this offseason and 520 00:23:45,788 --> 00:23:49,148 Speaker 1: hadn't had the greatest of years so far this season, 521 00:23:49,388 --> 00:23:52,108 Speaker 1: had a half a sack going into this game and 522 00:23:52,188 --> 00:23:55,788 Speaker 1: then he shows up AFC Player of the Week, three sacks, 523 00:23:55,868 --> 00:23:58,708 Speaker 1: five quarterback hits, has a pass breakup too, calls the 524 00:23:58,788 --> 00:24:02,948 Speaker 1: turnover on downs in that game. Chandler Jones first weeks 525 00:24:02,948 --> 00:24:07,468 Speaker 1: one through eleven thirteen QB hurries the last two weeks 526 00:24:07,668 --> 00:24:11,068 Speaker 1: fourteen QB hurries. He's coming along, He's putting pressure there 527 00:24:11,228 --> 00:24:13,308 Speaker 1: and he's led all season long. They talked about his 528 00:24:13,348 --> 00:24:16,548 Speaker 1: work ethic in the building, his energy, his leadership, but 529 00:24:16,628 --> 00:24:18,388 Speaker 1: he's being paid to go out there on the field 530 00:24:18,388 --> 00:24:21,548 Speaker 1: and make plays. Yes, similar to me we talked about 531 00:24:21,628 --> 00:24:23,988 Speaker 1: von Miller. He's a great leader, he brings so much 532 00:24:23,988 --> 00:24:25,988 Speaker 1: of that locker room, but you're paying this guy to 533 00:24:26,028 --> 00:24:28,348 Speaker 1: go out there and make plays on Sunday and Chandler 534 00:24:28,428 --> 00:24:32,588 Speaker 1: Jones did that this past Sunday. Josh Jacobs, DeVante Adams. 535 00:24:32,668 --> 00:24:35,748 Speaker 1: They have been amazing this year. Derek Carr's getting those 536 00:24:35,748 --> 00:24:38,228 Speaker 1: guys the ball. They need more out of Chandler Jones, 537 00:24:38,268 --> 00:24:40,588 Speaker 1: and if they continue to get that level of production 538 00:24:40,828 --> 00:24:43,668 Speaker 1: along with what Max Crosby has already been doing this season, 539 00:24:44,148 --> 00:24:46,108 Speaker 1: I think they have a chance. But they're going to 540 00:24:46,188 --> 00:24:48,108 Speaker 1: need him to continue to step up and have big games. 541 00:24:48,188 --> 00:24:50,428 Speaker 1: It is interesting to look down the stretch at their 542 00:24:50,428 --> 00:24:52,948 Speaker 1: schedule because a few teams that they play I think 543 00:24:52,988 --> 00:24:55,508 Speaker 1: are going to be very desperate, and I focus on 544 00:24:55,548 --> 00:24:58,428 Speaker 1: the defense as wealth, particularly in stopping the run, because 545 00:24:58,508 --> 00:25:03,468 Speaker 1: desperation sometimes breeds results. Going against the Patriots from Andrey 546 00:25:03,508 --> 00:25:07,268 Speaker 1: Stevenson stop the run. Naji Harris and the Steelers, that's 547 00:25:07,308 --> 00:25:09,868 Speaker 1: another ten they can nippet you're here? Is that Christian 548 00:25:09,948 --> 00:25:12,468 Speaker 1: McCaffrey and the forty nine Ers A what a difficult 549 00:25:12,508 --> 00:25:15,148 Speaker 1: guy to defend. And then that final week in Kansas 550 00:25:15,188 --> 00:25:17,948 Speaker 1: City Asa Patco. This run defense, mind too, with the 551 00:25:18,028 --> 00:25:21,428 Speaker 1: Raiders has drastically improved in the first ten weeks. I 552 00:25:21,428 --> 00:25:23,148 Speaker 1: go back to something that Sean Payton said on Peter's 553 00:25:23,148 --> 00:25:25,108 Speaker 1: pregame show and Fox a couple of weeks back. He said, 554 00:25:25,268 --> 00:25:27,428 Speaker 1: it is really hard to dig yourself out of a 555 00:25:27,428 --> 00:25:30,708 Speaker 1: whole statistically once you put yourself there, unless you're the 556 00:25:30,748 --> 00:25:33,028 Speaker 1: Raiders run defense. In the first ten weeks, they were 557 00:25:33,028 --> 00:25:35,228 Speaker 1: twenty first in the NFL. They were allowing one hundred 558 00:25:35,228 --> 00:25:37,228 Speaker 1: and twenty six yards per game. In the last three 559 00:25:37,268 --> 00:25:40,228 Speaker 1: weeks seventy seven, they got that number down to that 560 00:25:40,348 --> 00:25:42,948 Speaker 1: is third in the NFL. Now, that's only three weeks 561 00:25:42,988 --> 00:25:44,948 Speaker 1: compared to the first ten. But if you're going to 562 00:25:45,028 --> 00:25:46,628 Speaker 1: do it, that's the way to do it is stop 563 00:25:46,708 --> 00:25:49,228 Speaker 1: teams in their tracks from running the ball, and those 564 00:25:49,308 --> 00:25:51,468 Speaker 1: running backs they're going to face down the stretch. Stevenson, 565 00:25:51,588 --> 00:25:54,428 Speaker 1: Najie Harris, CMC and Pachaco. If you can do that, 566 00:25:54,788 --> 00:25:56,668 Speaker 1: you might find yourself a room at the risk. Is 567 00:25:56,668 --> 00:25:59,588 Speaker 1: it not amazing? The Raiders lost to Jeff Saturday in 568 00:25:59,628 --> 00:26:01,348 Speaker 1: his first game with the Colts, and it was just 569 00:26:01,428 --> 00:26:04,268 Speaker 1: like he's done, done, And here we are whole seg 570 00:26:04,548 --> 00:26:06,468 Speaker 1: talking about the Raiders and their chances of making a play, 571 00:26:06,468 --> 00:26:08,548 Speaker 1: almost because maybe we'll look like dufass. I don't know. 572 00:26:08,628 --> 00:26:10,788 Speaker 1: It's a fairy It was his tomorrow and the moves 573 00:26:10,828 --> 00:26:13,548 Speaker 1: to the Raids tonight they were two and seven and 574 00:26:13,588 --> 00:26:16,148 Speaker 1: they're only wins. Where were the Broncos and the Texans 575 00:26:16,508 --> 00:26:18,388 Speaker 1: and we're shut out. I think part of our allure 576 00:26:18,428 --> 00:26:20,068 Speaker 1: of this is that like it's the Silver and Black 577 00:26:20,068 --> 00:26:23,028 Speaker 1: and it's the Raiders and they have really good players. 578 00:26:22,508 --> 00:26:24,588 Speaker 1: Us it's probably a fairy tale and it's their own 579 00:26:24,588 --> 00:26:26,348 Speaker 1: fault of that out getting him true, And you're over 580 00:26:26,388 --> 00:26:28,788 Speaker 1: there wishing for teams collapse. If I'm a Raiders fan, 581 00:26:28,948 --> 00:26:30,228 Speaker 1: these are the teams to watch. I like that team 582 00:26:30,348 --> 00:26:32,228 Speaker 1: giving you guys. I've had that feeling at the end 583 00:26:32,268 --> 00:26:34,548 Speaker 1: of the sea, please lose on the plane rio home. 584 00:26:34,588 --> 00:26:36,428 Speaker 1: We beat the Texans and I think it was the Jets. 585 00:26:36,428 --> 00:26:39,908 Speaker 1: We needed to win, they lose, it's over, it's not 586 00:26:39,988 --> 00:26:41,708 Speaker 1: up to Yeah, it's sorry. Time for There's a night 587 00:26:41,708 --> 00:26:44,628 Speaker 1: preview presented by the Drafting Sports Book. We were just 588 00:26:44,708 --> 00:26:47,788 Speaker 1: hours away from Raiders Ramps on Prime Video and NFL Plus. 589 00:26:47,828 --> 00:26:50,348 Speaker 1: Here are the odds for tonight's game. The Ramps are 590 00:26:50,388 --> 00:26:52,908 Speaker 1: six and a half point underdogs, but the Raiders have 591 00:26:52,988 --> 00:26:54,868 Speaker 1: failed to cover the spread in each of their last 592 00:26:54,908 --> 00:26:58,228 Speaker 1: eight road games as feuits. Jess Jacobs has four touchdowns 593 00:26:58,268 --> 00:27:00,948 Speaker 1: in his last four games, and DeVante Adams has wracked 594 00:27:01,028 --> 00:27:04,108 Speaker 1: up over one hundred receiving yards in four of his 595 00:27:04,668 --> 00:27:07,308 Speaker 1: five outings. Coming up, I'll gobody called love that. Peter 596 00:27:07,628 --> 00:27:11,588 Speaker 1: Giants Eagles, Oh man, that's high stakes in that division. 597 00:27:11,668 --> 00:27:14,588 Speaker 1: Can the Giant the Giants ball off an upset? Are 598 00:27:14,588 --> 00:27:19,228 Speaker 1: the Eagles gonna source? Yes? Sure, sure, yes, I agree 599 00:27:19,268 --> 00:27:36,268 Speaker 1: with everything. Very agreeable. Reporting time four Beneath the Surface 600 00:27:36,348 --> 00:27:40,108 Speaker 1: presented by Microsoft Surface. Let's take a look at this 601 00:27:40,348 --> 00:27:44,628 Speaker 1: NFC showdown between the Eagles and the Giants. Giants head 602 00:27:44,628 --> 00:27:47,708 Speaker 1: coach Brian Dable and Eagles head coach Nick Serrannie. We're 603 00:27:47,748 --> 00:27:49,988 Speaker 1: in Kansas City together. Back in twenty twelve in the 604 00:27:50,068 --> 00:27:53,588 Speaker 1: Romeo cronell Era. These two have a connection, and Brian 605 00:27:53,668 --> 00:27:56,988 Speaker 1: Dable was asked what catches his eye when he watches 606 00:27:57,068 --> 00:28:00,708 Speaker 1: his good old buddies and the Eagles and their game film. 607 00:28:00,748 --> 00:28:04,268 Speaker 1: Everything the defensive line, their receivers, their quarterback, they're often 608 00:28:04,508 --> 00:28:06,628 Speaker 1: some line, and their offensive line is as good as 609 00:28:06,668 --> 00:28:10,348 Speaker 1: it gets. Starts with Kelsey gets everything set, just been 610 00:28:10,388 --> 00:28:12,948 Speaker 1: a fantastic player for a really long time. I think 611 00:28:13,028 --> 00:28:16,428 Speaker 1: Jalen is operating at extremely high level. And throw a 612 00:28:16,548 --> 00:28:19,628 Speaker 1: j DeVante. You know Quez got injured there, we'll see 613 00:28:19,628 --> 00:28:22,108 Speaker 1: where he's at. The running game is really good. Their defense, 614 00:28:22,188 --> 00:28:25,028 Speaker 1: their corners, they can rush the pass or stop the run. 615 00:28:25,108 --> 00:28:27,588 Speaker 1: There's the reason why they're eleven and one. We're well 616 00:28:27,668 --> 00:28:30,628 Speaker 1: rounded team. Yeah, you put those stunt of shades on 617 00:28:30,668 --> 00:28:33,268 Speaker 1: because you're blinded by what the Eagles are putting on tape. 618 00:28:33,348 --> 00:28:35,188 Speaker 1: Right now, Brian Davi will just give a very long 619 00:28:35,268 --> 00:28:38,908 Speaker 1: list of everything the Philadelphia Eagles are good at this season. However, 620 00:28:39,388 --> 00:28:41,788 Speaker 1: they're only lost this season did come from an NFC 621 00:28:41,868 --> 00:28:45,308 Speaker 1: East opponent. The Commander's Kyle yesterday you tied this up. 622 00:28:45,348 --> 00:28:47,828 Speaker 1: You said, this is quite possibly the biggest game the 623 00:28:47,868 --> 00:28:51,228 Speaker 1: Giants have played since our show began in two sixteen. 624 00:28:51,508 --> 00:28:54,228 Speaker 1: Why nothing quite possibly about it. Twenty sixteen they had 625 00:28:54,228 --> 00:28:55,868 Speaker 1: a good season. That was the Odell season and the Packers. 626 00:28:55,908 --> 00:28:58,308 Speaker 1: But let's talk about the last five years. The Giants 627 00:28:58,308 --> 00:29:00,788 Speaker 1: are seven and four and one. We are entering week fourteen. 628 00:29:01,548 --> 00:29:05,108 Speaker 1: Entering week fourteen, the last five years, their records are 629 00:29:05,108 --> 00:29:08,148 Speaker 1: four and eight, five and seven, two and ten, four 630 00:29:08,188 --> 00:29:11,908 Speaker 1: and eight, two and ten, seventeen and forty three at 631 00:29:11,908 --> 00:29:14,388 Speaker 1: this point in the season, four different guys as head coach. 632 00:29:14,668 --> 00:29:16,548 Speaker 1: This would be massive. The fact that they're even playing 633 00:29:16,548 --> 00:29:18,548 Speaker 1: in this game is an accomplishment. And Brian Davie, you 634 00:29:18,548 --> 00:29:19,828 Speaker 1: could just shut it down right now. You had a 635 00:29:19,828 --> 00:29:22,628 Speaker 1: great season and lots to build on. If they lose 636 00:29:22,708 --> 00:29:25,348 Speaker 1: this game, that will be one win in the last 637 00:29:25,348 --> 00:29:27,908 Speaker 1: six weeks for the Brian Dave Boll Giants. That's It's 638 00:29:27,948 --> 00:29:30,068 Speaker 1: they have one win, that's it, and they have a tie. 639 00:29:30,148 --> 00:29:31,668 Speaker 1: It's kind of like, we're done with you. There's too 640 00:29:31,708 --> 00:29:34,028 Speaker 1: many good teams out there right now. You can't win 641 00:29:34,108 --> 00:29:36,508 Speaker 1: that seldomly coming down the stretch. But if they win, man, 642 00:29:36,548 --> 00:29:38,548 Speaker 1: if they flip the table on an eleven one team, 643 00:29:38,828 --> 00:29:41,028 Speaker 1: then it's like, Okay, this is not the Giants that 644 00:29:41,068 --> 00:29:43,868 Speaker 1: we've just spent our entire show talking about. It's not 645 00:29:43,908 --> 00:29:45,988 Speaker 1: just this flash in the pan September and October because 646 00:29:45,988 --> 00:29:47,828 Speaker 1: we has a show off tossed this around that they're like, oh, 647 00:29:47,868 --> 00:29:49,668 Speaker 1: they were cool September on October and we keep saying 648 00:29:49,668 --> 00:29:51,108 Speaker 1: the airs coming out of the balloon. You can hear it. 649 00:29:51,188 --> 00:29:53,428 Speaker 1: Put the air back in. Let's go. It's a huge, huge, 650 00:29:53,468 --> 00:29:55,828 Speaker 1: biggest Giants game in five years. Not trying to one 651 00:29:55,908 --> 00:29:57,828 Speaker 1: up or top or anything. I think this game is 652 00:29:57,828 --> 00:30:00,588 Speaker 1: really important. The Eagles are eleven and one to be Adrian. 653 00:30:00,748 --> 00:30:04,348 Speaker 1: Next week they're Sunday night against Washington. They're not chasing 654 00:30:04,468 --> 00:30:07,828 Speaker 1: the Eagles right now, they're holding off Washington. This one's 655 00:30:07,908 --> 00:30:11,908 Speaker 1: huge winner loss. That one's massive. I think that's the 656 00:30:11,948 --> 00:30:14,788 Speaker 1: biggest game. Like Washington and them are tied here neck 657 00:30:14,828 --> 00:30:16,428 Speaker 1: and neck. This would be a great win. It would 658 00:30:16,428 --> 00:30:19,028 Speaker 1: be a huge upset and they'd be thrilled. But next 659 00:30:19,068 --> 00:30:22,148 Speaker 1: week feels like it's dude or died, doesn't it. Yeah, 660 00:30:22,188 --> 00:30:24,188 Speaker 1: this time of the year is just like the next 661 00:30:24,228 --> 00:30:26,948 Speaker 1: game is the biggest game, and for them right now, 662 00:30:27,228 --> 00:30:29,228 Speaker 1: the next one is the Eagles. And when you talk 663 00:30:29,268 --> 00:30:32,388 Speaker 1: about that record, you're not going back ten twelve years ago, 664 00:30:32,428 --> 00:30:34,668 Speaker 1: you're saying about the last five years. A lot of 665 00:30:34,668 --> 00:30:36,588 Speaker 1: these there's guys on this roster that have been a 666 00:30:36,628 --> 00:30:38,508 Speaker 1: part of that, whether it's for two years, whether it's 667 00:30:38,548 --> 00:30:40,908 Speaker 1: for three years. So this game is huge because they 668 00:30:40,908 --> 00:30:43,468 Speaker 1: haven't been in this territory. Like you win this game 669 00:30:43,508 --> 00:30:45,388 Speaker 1: and it's just like, oh my goodness, like we're here, 670 00:30:45,548 --> 00:30:47,348 Speaker 1: like we're knocking on the door for the playoffs. So 671 00:30:47,548 --> 00:30:49,548 Speaker 1: I'm with you, like that one's going to be big. 672 00:30:49,788 --> 00:30:51,988 Speaker 1: But if you don't take care of business, this one, 673 00:30:52,228 --> 00:30:54,788 Speaker 1: like the importance just keeps coming knocking down and note 674 00:30:54,828 --> 00:30:56,428 Speaker 1: and to your point, if they lose forty one nothing 675 00:30:56,468 --> 00:31:00,268 Speaker 1: to the Eagles at home, like sign you might not 676 00:31:00,308 --> 00:31:02,108 Speaker 1: be able to even get up for next Yeah. Now, 677 00:31:02,148 --> 00:31:03,868 Speaker 1: a lot of things have to happen, I think in 678 00:31:03,908 --> 00:31:07,228 Speaker 1: the NFC West in particular, for all four NFC East 679 00:31:07,228 --> 00:31:08,708 Speaker 1: teams to make it in the playoffs, but it could 680 00:31:08,708 --> 00:31:10,508 Speaker 1: happen in the new playoff format. I think it would 681 00:31:10,508 --> 00:31:13,588 Speaker 1: be the first time that an entire division makes it 682 00:31:13,628 --> 00:31:15,548 Speaker 1: to the playoffs. So I like just the next two 683 00:31:15,588 --> 00:31:18,428 Speaker 1: weeks in general, I am so disappointed in that tie 684 00:31:18,548 --> 00:31:20,948 Speaker 1: that went down last week between the Giants and the Commanders, 685 00:31:20,948 --> 00:31:23,508 Speaker 1: because I think that puts a fluke in the whole system. 686 00:31:23,868 --> 00:31:26,348 Speaker 1: But speaking of fluke, do we feel like the Eagles 687 00:31:26,428 --> 00:31:28,468 Speaker 1: lost to the Commanders was like a one off thing 688 00:31:28,628 --> 00:31:30,948 Speaker 1: or did the Commanders really expose the Eagles in the 689 00:31:30,948 --> 00:31:33,548 Speaker 1: way you could beat them? What do you think? Maybe 690 00:31:33,948 --> 00:31:36,028 Speaker 1: that game they ran the hell out of it and 691 00:31:36,068 --> 00:31:37,988 Speaker 1: they did not win by a field goal. They won 692 00:31:38,028 --> 00:31:40,908 Speaker 1: by double digits, right, that was I guess that's how 693 00:31:40,908 --> 00:31:42,788 Speaker 1: you do it. And it's but that's one loss in 694 00:31:42,828 --> 00:31:44,748 Speaker 1: twelve games. Like they're really good, and the Eagles have 695 00:31:44,828 --> 00:31:46,948 Speaker 1: done Mason moves to kind of show up that defensive 696 00:31:47,028 --> 00:31:49,708 Speaker 1: run game. So they got Jordan Davis back. Want to 697 00:31:49,708 --> 00:31:55,908 Speaker 1: be a star this weekends? This is fantastic. There's a 698 00:31:55,908 --> 00:32:00,188 Speaker 1: ton of games to watch this weekend. Jets, Bills, Vikings, Lions, 699 00:32:00,308 --> 00:32:02,948 Speaker 1: everything in the division.
