1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: The Around the NFL podcast. It's thankful for an excuse

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: to get away from their families. Happy post Thanksgiving everyone

3
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 1: in America and across the world. Happy Friday. It's around

4
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. We are scattered across the South Land and

5
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: surrounding territories. Uh, the day after, the morning after Thanksgiving,

6
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: Big day, Big sports Day. I've already said it, but

7
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: in case you didn't hear, and it's gonna even sting

8
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 1: more after the fact. All these English listeners that are

9
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: very confident about how the soccer match is gonna go today. Wow,

10
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: a lot of disappointment. By the time you hear this,

11
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: the disappointment will still be soaking in from a USA

12
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: upset for the ages um. So that's coming up later today.

13
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: We got a full gate. We have a full slate

14
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: of Sunday games, but Mark greg starting now, we're gonna

15
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: go through the three Thanksgiving contests. And it was some

16
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: fun football. This is one of the best football days

17
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: of the year. We didn't have to do a show,

18
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: which was nice. You can just watch the football. But

19
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 1: I say we got one great game one uh at night,

20
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: extremely entertaining game. I don't it was a great game,

21
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: but it was fun, and then you know, the middle

22
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: game at least was interesting. We had to come back.

23
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: You know, that was as good as it was going

24
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: to get. Well, what a what a different Thanksgiving slate

25
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: than the last um to twenty six before it, because

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: typically that early Lions game you got the families starting

27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: to get together, random relatives and it operates as a

28
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 1: total energy stuck inside your house. Um, this was the

29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: complete opposite. And it was like sitting there in the

30
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: earliest game of the day and it is a fantastic

31
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: matchup between the Bills, and like, I just wish it

32
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 1: had ended differently a kind of Um, I know that

33
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: you think that I'm not really like on the Lions

34
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: team of a t L thing, but I needed them

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: to come to me, and I think yesterday they did

36
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: and I got pulled in emotionally. And now it's like,

37
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: of course, now that you get pulled in emotionally, they

38
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: just cut your throat. So it's your fault, that's what

39
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: you're saying. Well, you need them to come into you.

40
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: So they needed to win three straight and then have

41
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: a lead over like a Super Bowl favorite. And then

42
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: Mark was like, okay, maybe my bar is high. He's

43
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: also a Titans fan. Now, so the bar is very

44
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: high in terms of what you need to do to

45
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: earn his loyalty. Uh these days, yeah, I think, especially

46
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: where we are on the West coast. The first game

47
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: kicks off at nine thirty perfect, so you really I

48
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: was one of the people that host Thanksgiving, my wife

49
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: and I, so there's a lot of stuff to do.

50
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: But the nine thirty kickoff beautiful. You get you have

51
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: stuff that you're doing, but you're watching the game, you know,

52
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: pretty much unbothered. Then the middle game comes and things

53
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: get a little messy time wise, with people showing up,

54
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: more things you have to do. So that was the

55
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: one game where I wasn't as locked in, and that's

56
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: fine because that was the least interesting game than the

57
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: late game comes post dinner, You settle in, you enjoy

58
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: the enjoy it all. So it was it was great.

59
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: It was American, It was John Madden. I really like

60
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: that the way that the NFL um played up the

61
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: Madden side of things, because he really is Americana and

62
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: and and he is football and he is Thanksgiving. So

63
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: well well done by the NFL. Shall we get into

64
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: the games, boys, please? All right? Justin Graver speaking of

65
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: John Madden. Before we get into Lions Bills, let's hear

66
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: from the legend boom, there's no place to go. Some

67
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: people say that that stick. He says, boom. That's that's

68
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: why I'm two good. Boom you hit. I mean that's

69
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: boom boom, boom boom. He's right through there. That's the

70
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: way football should be run. Second and goal from the five,

71
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: Josh and shotgun. Two receivers right side to to the left.

72
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: The snap Josh wants to throw fires left side, caught touchdown,

73
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: step On Dicks, touchdown, Buffalo. They moved it all the

74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 1: way down the field and the Bills regained the lead

75
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: with two minutes forty seconds lap. Yes, Josh Allen, Steph Diggs,

76
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: you know that was a big play in the game, obviously, um.

77
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: But the bigger play, the bigger digs allan connection for

78
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: me and in terms of what it meant in the

79
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: game was after the Lions, and we're gonna get into

80
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: it how the Lions handled that final possession, settled for

81
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 1: the long field goal, and then Josh Allen and I know,

82
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: and Romo was all over this. Boys. He was saying

83
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: that elbow is still a thing. There's certain throws that

84
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: are gonna ding him, and it's something he's struggling with.

85
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: He put that thing on a line forty five yards

86
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: down the field to Diggs to set up Tyler Bass's

87
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: forty five yard field goal two seconds to play. It

88
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: was the difference in the Bill's win over the Lions

89
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving from Ford Field. Greggy, let's start with the

90
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: Bill's side of it, because again, I think this is

91
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: the this is the stuff of champions. This is a

92
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: team that rolled through the league, hit a lot of turbulence,

93
00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: and now, even though it's not as easy as it was,

94
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: you see that in them, that DNA of the great

95
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: teams that rise up when necessary, and they did it

96
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 1: again in this game. Yeah, the two drives back to back. Yes,

97
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: it ended with the Digs touchdown to take the lead

98
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: with two forty to go. But I think of that

99
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: drive as an example of how Alan's evolved. They were

100
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: so patient on that drive they gave. You know, the

101
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: Lions were backing up. The lines are not a great defense.

102
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: They forced three stops in a row for really, because

103
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: they had the interception to start the second half, and

104
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: then three punts in a row and then Alan finally

105
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: gets patient again and moves the ball slowly down the field.

106
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: It reminded me a week one against the Rams, we've

107
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: seen this development from him. He ran when he needed to,

108
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: and he ran more in the fourth quarter once again

109
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: when it was winning time, but it was mostly six

110
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: seven yard passes going through his progression being patient, got

111
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: protected well, and it ends with the the Digs touchdown

112
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: and then you get it back with twenty three seconds left.

113
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 1: And we're so used to these teams setting up for

114
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: field goals and twenty three seconds left, but it's like

115
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: not normal, and it takes something great like that Diggs

116
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: throw that you mentioned. So you get the patient, you

117
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: get the intelligence, but you get the athleticism and then

118
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,359
Speaker 1: the ridiculous arm. And on a day when the Lions

119
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: almost felt like the better team, it's like the Bills

120
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: still had the best player, and that that's Josh Allen. Yeah.

121
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 1: I mean, just you look at what the Bills have

122
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: been through over the last week, and it was notable

123
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,320
Speaker 1: to me the look on Josh Allen's face afterwards when

124
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: he was just embracing and hugging Digs that, like Diggs

125
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: is the one they talked about on the sideline kind

126
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: of acting as like the spiritual center for that team,

127
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: trying to lift them up because Tracy Wilson said they

128
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: were totally flat, that Lions team had really taken the

129
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: energy out of them entirely from wire to wire until

130
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: the end. And I know, I mean Romo said it

131
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: roughly seven hundred and forty times about the elbows still

132
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 1: bothering Josh Allen, but you could see it, I think

133
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: on a bunch of throws, but then he could still

134
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 1: It's kind of like when these guys are down physically,

135
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: like Allan still made those key throws when it mattered most.

136
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: And we've gotten to the point with the Bills. I

137
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: know they're a terrible red zone offense statistically, but when

138
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: they had those twenty plus seconds left at the end,

139
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: was anyone doubting that they were gonna go it down

140
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: and kick the field goal? And it just happened automatically.

141
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 1: I mean, we're used to it with him, and it

142
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,799
Speaker 1: should have never happened. It should have never happened the Lions.

143
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: Who really, you know, I do feel an attachment to

144
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: this team, um that that really does go beyond any

145
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: other team of a T N we've had. I think

146
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: some of it does go back to hard knocks and

147
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: the Campbell is so likable. You know, there was a

148
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: there was a out of halftime UM interview with Campbell.

149
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: Let's let's play that actually justin you are efficient, you

150
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: control the clock, you're aggressive. What more do you need

151
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: to do to close this one out? A few things. Defense,

152
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: we gotta get off the field on third down at

153
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: least a couple of times. We're firing. I'm pretty good

154
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: right now, which is good. We gotta do that. We

155
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: gotta get a takeaway. On defense, special teams were about

156
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: to pop and return. We need one of those. We

157
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: might have to steal a possession. The other thing is offense,

158
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: protective football, stirred, grossing. I mean, that's that's why Dan

159
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: Campbell is so great, and so he's in a root

160
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: for every other coach, those sideline reporters getting nothing, and

161
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: he gives it a lot thought. He gives you actual information. Um.

162
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: But with that said, the way it was handled down

163
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: the stretch, that final drive, that the clock manage that

164
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: they have all their time outs and tick tick tick tick,

165
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: they end up putting them themselves in a position where

166
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: they could have won the game, and I know Jared

167
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: GOFFMSS is a past there um that and maybe we're

168
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: not even talking about this. They could have won the

169
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: game with a touchdown. They could have tied the game

170
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: of the field goal and left no time on the clock,

171
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: but they ended up in a situation where they set

172
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,599
Speaker 1: up for a long field goal and they had no business.

173
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 1: Uh even to me at that point, I was like,

174
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: they don't really deserve to win anymore. The way that

175
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: played out. They got away with it and they lived

176
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: for a few more minutes. But I was really disappointed

177
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: with how the offense handled that final drive, and Lions

178
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: Vans obviously know what I'm talking about. I don't hate

179
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: that they were trying to take the time off because

180
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: they were trying to make sure that the Bills didn't

181
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: win the game, and they were trying to score a

182
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: touch down there if they could, but they would have

183
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: settled for overtime. The problem is the execution, the combination

184
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 1: of the play call and then Jared Goffi execution on

185
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: third and one with I think it was thirty one

186
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: seconds left to not run the ball there and just

187
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: get the first down. When you have three timeouts, you

188
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: guarantee at that point that there's no overtime before you

189
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: complete deep throw before the incomplete Also, Greg, before that,

190
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: they literally just punted ten seconds off the clock before

191
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 1: burning a time out. I thought they were second back. Ultimately,

192
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: that was a roller coaster because of but but yeah,

193
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: because but like you had that, I think if they

194
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,079
Speaker 1: play that aggressive and just go for it and are

195
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: a little smarter, I think they could have stolen that game.

196
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: And we'll never know, but I think they got put

197
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: into a little position where they played it a little

198
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: too cute near midfield, and then, like you're saying, got

199
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: maybe a little too aggressive on that third and one

200
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 1: and then did I think, Mark, how about we go

201
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: for it on fourth and one? But you really couldn't

202
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 1: because you didn't leave enough time at that point to

203
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: really have an efficient chance analytically to get down to

204
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: the end zone. I think it's another look at a

205
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: team that's they're almost there, you can feel it, and

206
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: this situational situation they completely if he makes the throw

207
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: a chart, Like you said, we don't care because it

208
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 1: kind of took away um from a really good day

209
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 1: from Jared Goff in general. But a couple of plays

210
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: before that too, golf had a bad throw to a

211
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: wide open DeAndre Swift on first and tent that would

212
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 1: have been a big game. It's just like it it took.

213
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: He was really what he I thought it was his

214
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: best game of the season up until that final series

215
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 1: where it was a team meltdown situationally, and you know,

216
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell after tried to explain what was going through

217
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 1: his head and and the ultimately if you're yes, they

218
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: got at it with the time getting come put back

219
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: back on the clock. There was no ten second runoff

220
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: with the false start, but that said, like you cannot

221
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,560
Speaker 1: leave the bills that room to operate, and it's just

222
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: it's just that's the difference here. But that's that's like

223
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: it's more on golf than anything because ultimately, yeah, that

224
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: you call the pass play there, and ultimately he's the

225
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: one that decided to go to he hasn't wide open.

226
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: He They talked about it after game. They all said like,

227
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: we don't regret it because we had a guy more

228
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: or less wide open to win the game. And I

229
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: saw on Twitter Ryan Clark, a former player now now

230
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: with ESPN, was kind of just like, if golf decides,

231
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 1: that's the throw he's gonna make on that play. If

232
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna you're gonna let it all hang out, you're

233
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: gonna be like, I'm I'm going you gotta hit it

234
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 1: like you can't miss it by a ton. And Golf's

235
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: that after the game, just like I wish I had

236
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: that throwback. I mean, he had a more or less

237
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: a wide open guy to win the game, and he

238
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: just missed the throw. So when you compare that to

239
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, like it's just these small things, you're absolutely right. Mark,

240
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: he played a really good game overall until that closing sequence.

241
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,160
Speaker 1: But it's like you also just gotta have your players

242
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: hit the shot. Hit the shot. Yeah, And I think

243
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: with golf, when you look at kind of big picture

244
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: for golf, um, I feel like he's played his role

245
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 1: very admirably in Detroit, which is he is very much

246
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 1: a bridge guy and in the last couple of years

247
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: where they didn't have maybe the quarterback that they wanted

248
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,680
Speaker 1: in the draft, a guy that could hold the fort

249
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: while you get better around him and maybe you go

250
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: back and go find a quarterback that you could really

251
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: get behind next year. I think he's done overall well

252
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: for them, but Yeah, that's like, that's an example of

253
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: the limitations of golf. He's just not a special player.

254
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 1: Um and sometimes he because he did play very well,

255
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: but he also through that like hideous like falling down,

256
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: the falling away should have been an interception throw. You're

257
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: always gonna get that with him. Um, but they did.

258
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: You're right, Greg, I thought that for so much of

259
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 1: this game, you would never be able to tell that

260
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: it was the bills that I were eight and three

261
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: and the lines that were four and six, and that

262
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: again speaks to the progress of Detroit. So he said

263
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: it after the game, Campbell that this game, this hurts,

264
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: but we don't feel you know, we don't feel like

265
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: we are in a bad place now because of this game.

266
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: And I get that the confidences still be high for them.

267
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: I I think so too, because it's like, look, are

268
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: they a playoff team this year? That that would have

269
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: changed things? Said, they won that game in a weird NFC.

270
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: But that said, it's just little things and it's not

271
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 1: just that golf throat, like the safety was a bit

272
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: of a mess. Jamal Williams has the second fumble of

273
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: his career, that roughing the passer call by Austin Bryant.

274
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: I thought it was a totally unnecessary game changing scenario

275
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 1: that helped the goals entirely. Yeah, it was, but it

276
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: was just like you didn't need to do that to

277
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. So it's like a Lions team that is

278
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: going to not make those mistakes when they get to

279
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: that next level. And it's just like I thought, if

280
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: anything though that they said that was the biggest, second

281
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: biggest crowd ever in that stadium. It was loud, it

282
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: was on total tilt on the halftime show. Was amazing.

283
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: What let's talk about that halftime show? What was going

284
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: on with that? Why do you have anything to say

285
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: about bb REXA And I thought it was an intriguing

286
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: thing to be airing in our house at like, you know,

287
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: eleven twenty eight am. It's intriguing choice by the NFL.

288
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't quite as wholesome as a Creed two thousand

289
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: three or that Jonas Brothers later later in the day. Yeah,

290
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: that you're right. The crowd loves this team. It it

291
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: was it was a missed opportunity. Like Jamal Williams to me,

292
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: is the heart and soul that team. They need a

293
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: pass rush Aidan Hutchinson. I was like, did he play

294
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: in that game? He was literally not in the box score.

295
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 1: He was not in the box score. Uh. They had

296
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 1: a guy who played on Dan Sanders his team last

297
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: year who had his first ever game. He's I think

298
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: one of the first players in NFL history to have

299
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: two sacks in his first game. That was James Houston,

300
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: who stepped up Um as a pass rusher. But they

301
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: just have no pass rush. The Bills are also sweating

302
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: this game because they lost Von Miller what looks like

303
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: a significant knee injury. The reports out as we're taping

304
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: this are that it's going to be multiple weeks at

305
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 1: the least, and it could be as bad as season ending,

306
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: but they need more tests and it's uncertain. Can I

307
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: help you with this guy, Um? Because ESPN's Adam Scheff

308
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: the reported he did not tear his a c el,

309
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: but he's out in definitely. What this is a sprain

310
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: of the knee, which is also some moderate uh tearing

311
00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: to a ligament, maybe the m c L. So I

312
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: see this as a four to six week injury. Can

313
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 1: we get Dr Dan to your list of nickname? You

314
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: would think that that that if you know, schefter has,

315
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, whatever the team has at this point. If

316
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: they're not willing to get a little more specific, well

317
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 1: that's why I'm here. Okay, he'll be back, but it's yeah,

318
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: how is Dion Dawkins looking the left tackle? Who's incredible

319
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: ankle injury incredible. No, I haven't been tracking Dion as

320
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: much anyway, They're they're they're getting short suddenly. Russo has

321
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: been hurt. Epanessas out. They were very good pressuring the

322
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 1: interior with with that Oliver in their defensive tackles. But

323
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: if they don't have Von Miller the rest of the

324
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: season or most of the rest of the regular season,

325
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: they're not the same. They're not quite the same Bills team.

326
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 1: Now they've lost Micah Hyde, they've lost Miller. It's just

327
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: getting to be like they're not them. Not being the

328
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 1: same team doesn't mean they don't have a chance. But

329
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: they've come back to the I think it's easy to

330
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: say they've come back to the pack in the air

331
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: and let me just be clear, because I don't think

332
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: this would happen. But I don't want to be the

333
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: subject of a critical Mike Florio post. That was just

334
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: me around I know nothing about von Miller's injury situation.

335
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: I got it, Okay, well, I know you guys did,

336
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: but if anyone's listening, I was like writing a road

337
00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: a world blurb or I don't need that floating out

338
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: there on Twitter that the NFL networks Dan Hansa's reports

339
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 1: that von Miller has a sprained m cl and is

340
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: that four to six weeks that would be an incredible

341
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: event on the day after things an be dealing with

342
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: that all the weekend? Um for entertainment value. All right,

343
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 1: let's move on to uh the well, let's see what

344
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: would be Well, my favorite Thanksgiving meal, ironically is after

345
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving when you make the sandwich and you have the

346
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: bread and you could put the turkey, some stuff in

347
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: a little cranberry um, salt and pepper um, little gravy maybe,

348
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: and you get the sandwich. So the sandwich. The middle

349
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 1: of this Thanksgiving group of games was Dallas, New York

350
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,959
Speaker 1: from Arlington. Let's check it out. But first let's hear

351
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: again from the legend John Madden. Thanksgiving is a traditional

352
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: day and and our tradition as being at a football

353
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: game and turkey and turkey legs and turdukins and you're

354
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: great football players. And there's no place that I would

355
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: rather be than right here with you at this time.

356
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: And it doesn't get any better than this. This is

357
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: our family certain goal from the two handoff coming on

358
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: the side, shot out hand off to the tight end,

359
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: and all of the titles turk gonna jump into the

360
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: salvation army kettle like half my uncle's on the Finnegan

361
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: side looked like Pat Summer. Also, I'm not completely certain

362
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: that it in like at Wally Lake and Upstate New

363
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: York at the family reunion that summer. All wasn't there

364
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: on the party boat. What happens on the party boat

365
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 1: on Whalley Lakes stays on the pontoon, just as the

366
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: vikings about that, I would say it went that far,

367
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: all right. Yes, The middle game was the New York

368
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: Giants and Dallas Cowboys, and it was a game that

369
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: the New York Giants started out strong. It looked like

370
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: it was gonna be a game that went down to

371
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: the wire, but it didn't turn out that way because

372
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: Dallas took control in the second half. Dak Prescott through

373
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: two scoring passes, the Dalton Schultz Zeke ran one in

374
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: the Giants gonna score late a little lips lipstick on

375
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: the pig to twenty the victory. Uh for the Cowboys

376
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 1: who moved to eight and three, right behind the Eagles

377
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: and look out and the Giants, Like we talked about

378
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: Mark coming down to earth a little bit now. Um,

379
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: in the last five days they go from seven to

380
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,679
Speaker 1: two to seven and four and they played pretty well.

381
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: We'll get to the Giantsill start with the Cowboys. Uh,

382
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: they're stacking wins and looking very dangerous. Yeah, and I thought,

383
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 1: you know, it was not a pristine performance by Dallas. Obviously,

384
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: a lot a lot of sloppy play in the first

385
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: I think they doubled the Giants and penalties and some

386
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: costly penalties. But then they're just like a team like this,

387
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: And the reason you believe in in Dallas in general

388
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: is that their star power and their explosive offense took

389
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: care of business in the second half. I mean, and

390
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: then you're on the defense. I think Micah Parsons, who

391
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: last week destroyed Christian derrisaw before he went out with

392
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 1: a concussion. UM. Andrew Thomas for the Giants, who was

393
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: had a problematic early career, has been on fire this

394
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: season at left tackle and he got taken care of.

395
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: It's just like Micah Parsons is this unstoppable closers that

396
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 1: is a completely different element for Dallas and seems to

397
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,879
Speaker 1: be the kind of guy that could just take them

398
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: through playoff games. But when they play the way they

399
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: did on offense in the second half and you get

400
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: that version of Ezekiel Elliott with Tony Pollard on the

401
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: side and Ceedee Lamb, I mean, they're just unstoppable. And

402
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: the Giants for me, one little thing. I know sometimes

403
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: you used to watch me watch those Browns games when

404
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 1: I just say game over, like in the second quarter

405
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: when when Daniel Jones missed that fourth and want to

406
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: see Kwan Barkley and they were down fourteen thirteen. There's

407
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: a ton of time to go. But it's like this

408
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,360
Speaker 1: thing is cooked. The Giants have they peaked in this

409
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,919
Speaker 1: particular performance that I think that was very much a

410
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: game of like that's who the Giants are. They're not

411
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: a bad team, they're well coached. But you can't deal

412
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,640
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys. M Yeah, I think you mentioned se

413
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: Quan Well, I'll get back to the Cowboys. But since

414
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,240
Speaker 1: you're mentioning s Quan like since that thirty five carry

415
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: game we talked about on the podcast, who wondered how

416
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: he'd have to follow that up. He has sixty one

417
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 1: rushing yards in two weeks, they've targeted him eleven times

418
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 1: for twenty six yards UM, and they don't have anything.

419
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,240
Speaker 1: If they don't have sequence, it's definitely not all on Quan,

420
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: But I thought he ran quite poorly against Detroit at yesterday.

421
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 1: Didn't stand out to me. It just I think they

422
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: were overmatched ultimately. UM. But if they don't have se Quon,

423
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: and part of it is the injuries up front, and

424
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: maybe part of it is him being a little more tentative,

425
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 1: which when he doesn't have the blocking, or maybe it's

426
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: the wear and tear of the season. I don't know

427
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 1: what it is. But when they don't have sa Quan,

428
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 1: they don't have much and that they're gonna have a

429
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 1: really hard time winning game. Yeah, I and yeah, I

430
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: don't want to make too much of it, but I

431
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 1: think it's a good call. Greg. We talked about it

432
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 1: in the moment and how he was on pace to

433
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: obliterate his touch total from the previous two years combined

434
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: UH this year. But I do think he he doesn't

435
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: look quite as explosive these last two weeks, and maybe

436
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: it's some decision making. He caught a little bit of

437
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: criticism on the broadcast for um maybe looking for the

438
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 1: home run when he should just be hitting the whole

439
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: But early in the season he was like that two

440
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: thousand eighteen guy where every time he touched the ball

441
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: there was just kind of a bit of an electricity

442
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: to it. I'm not gonna make too much of it,

443
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: but it does feel like there's a little bit of

444
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: a difference in him right now. Maybe he's playing through

445
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: something that we don't know about. Right and they have

446
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: a really hard schedule. They have one game left against

447
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: the team that's under five hundred, whereas the Cowboys now

448
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: have three in a row against UH three under five

449
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: a f C South opponents, not the Titans, the other

450
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: the rest of the three. So they're ready to go

451
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: on and run. The Giants are gonna be tested two

452
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 1: of those games against the Commanders, so you know, if

453
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: you're a Giants fan, you hope you go in that.

454
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: But things get hard, and now you look at Dallas

455
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: as a team that has a chance, I think not

456
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: just to you know, represent the NFC, in the Super Bowl,

457
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: but there's an outside chance to be the one site

458
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: see it if Dak Prescott plays like this. Did you

459
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: say outside chance, Greggy, I think it's better than that. Well,

460
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: there are two games behind, so you are you gotta

461
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: almost run the table at this point, um, you it's

462
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,400
Speaker 1: a must win obviously against the Eagles. You're gonna get

463
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: a need to get a little help from the Eagles,

464
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 1: who don't have like the hardest schedule in the world,

465
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: but you're right they have. My point is you look

466
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 1: at their their remaining schedule. I know the Eagles don't

467
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: have the toughest schedule, but they're not playing very well

468
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: right now. They've very nearly lost their second road of

469
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,479
Speaker 1: the Cults. The Cowboys have a head to head matchup

470
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: with the Eagles. They take care of business there and

471
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: they they're one game out and then they just gotta

472
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: I think they have. Eagles clearly have the inside path,

473
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: and the vikings can't be ignored in the conversation, but yeah,

474
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: I think the Cowboys have a chance at doing that.

475
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: You know what, though, I asked, I would also rather

476
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: see this Cowboys team maybe not get the number one

477
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 1: seed down the stretch and like have to grind their

478
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: way through and remake what we think they are in January.

479
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: This team feels different to me than last year's team.

480
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy is not a liability right now in my

481
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: in my book, I just think that there's something going

482
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: on with this I'm not sure I enjoy the development

483
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: because it's not a team I really want to deal

484
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: with in super Bowl Week. But if that's that's what

485
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: you get it, then Jerry Jones can say everything I've

486
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: been saying for the last quarter century is valid when

487
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: it's not the case. I just like I like watching

488
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: them play football because they're a fun team, and I

489
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: love seeing this version of Dak. I think that's been

490
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: the most important development of November is Dak Prescott's playing

491
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: like a top five quarterback. I know he had the

492
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: interceptions early yesterday, I don't care. Heath through the ball

493
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: unbelievably the last two weeks better than I think any

494
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 1: quarterback in the league for two weeks, like the next

495
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: gen stat's had a number two. He the the highest

496
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: completion percentage over expected of anyone this year in that game,

497
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 1: of anyone that's thrown thirty passes in a game. One

498
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: player I wanted to point out was a spin that

499
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: he had on second and long to start the second

500
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: drive of the second half, and that's where he really

501
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: caught fire and they were gonna sack him and it

502
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: was gonna be about second and twenty, but he pulls

503
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: a spin move ends up running for like six or

504
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: seven yards to set up a third and short. And

505
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: that's the athleticism that he's been showing. He looks so athletic,

506
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: and he's throwing the ball great. Later that drive, he

507
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: hits Shultz on the touchdown on the third and fifteen

508
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: just when he throws it. Well, he's got it all.

509
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: He's got the arm, and he's got the way to

510
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 1: read defenses. And I just think if you blitz them

511
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: like the Giants do, eventually he'll figure you out. And

512
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: I love watching that Dak Prescott, and I know it's

513
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: it's gonna happen because kind of what you're saying about

514
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: the Cowboys, Mark, some of everything with Cowboys just seems

515
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 1: so like Set and Stone. They just who are who

516
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: they are. Odell Beckham is gonna be on this team

517
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: and uh, maybe that will help them, maybe it won't,

518
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: um but I wouldn't I would hesitate based on what

519
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: I saw yesterday from Michael Gallop from UM bringing in

520
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: a guy off a torn a c L that hasn't

521
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: played a snap this season, and then minimizing Gallup because

522
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: I think if Gallop continues to improve and show what

523
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: he was showing yesterday, UM, I think that that will

524
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: be also a big part of this offense. Having that

525
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: guy at number two step up because Gallup, I think

526
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 1: he's an underrated player. I think he wasn't the same

527
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 1: guy initially earlier in the season, but if he if

528
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: he finishes strong, this offense just gets all the more dangerous.

529
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: I I really think this this cowboy team with Parsons

530
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: lead in the d I think they have it. I

531
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 1: think they have a shot. Yeah. The one thing I'd

532
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: say about the Odell thing, because I'm with you, I

533
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 1: think finally waited all this time for forget Michael Gallup

534
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 1: to look like what you'd hope and he's there now.

535
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: I mean we saw it, Yester, there was a different player.

536
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: But look back at the Rams a year ago. Had

537
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: they not gotten Odell and then Robert Woods goes down,

538
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: I don't I'm not sure they get to the Super Bowl.

539
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: Or win it. So it's just like, at why not

540
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:12,160
Speaker 1: add strength on strength at this point of the season. Yeah,

541
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: I don't think they need him and and if they

542
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: get him, great, but I don't think they need him there.

543
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: Their numbers when they have two tight ends on the

544
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: field are better than any team in the league except

545
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: for Kansas City that we heard the highlight where it

546
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: was that the four tight end play, which is like

547
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: an old Mike McCarthy thing. They do make it very

548
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: difficult to defend them when they have those two tight

549
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: ends on the field because they run it so well

550
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: with Pollard. Zeke isn't the same, but he's still got

551
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: the instincts even if he doesn't have the juice. But

552
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: Pollard so good. They just hit you with a lot

553
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:42,719
Speaker 1: of ways. We do have an update on the Odell

554
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: Beckham situation. I wish I knew who was reporting this.

555
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: I'll get that to you. But he is going on

556
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 1: three trips and he's starting his trips with the Giants

557
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: and the Cowboys are third in line. Uh, the Bills

558
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,119
Speaker 1: are second in line. Yes, that is development. It was.

559
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,479
Speaker 1: It was from Josine to Anderson of CBS Sports. So

560
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:07,440
Speaker 1: let's the Giants New York, the biggest media market his

561
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: former team. Yes, that that is guaranteed to generate a

562
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,719
Speaker 1: lot of attention. The Cowboys the most highly publicized team

563
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: in the sport. What's the other team? The Bills are

564
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: in the middle there and the Bills the super Bowl.

565
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: Everyone loves the Bill's favorite team. He's enjoying it. That's fine.

566
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: You get you get, you get this. Go ahead, buddy,

567
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: your little tour. We're in the middle of the season

568
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 1: over here. We'll talk about O'Dell when he lands somewhere. Yeah,

569
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: Giants and the Thoughts would be the team he would

570
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: help the most. I mean, it seems like a strange move,

571
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: but considering he's visiting them first, that usually means it

572
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: might be a fit. He might he might be. He

573
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: might just like the idea of New York and and

574
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: going back there, and he's certainly you know this year

575
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: and long term would be of use to them. He

576
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: just feels like a cowboy to me. Um based on

577
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 1: stuff I said prior to this. We'll see, do we

578
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: really a thirty year old wide receiver coming off of

579
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 1: torn a c l do we do we give him

580
00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: the Peyton Manning two thousand twelve free agency treatment. He's

581
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: given it to himself. Remember when everyone, uh, Grave Digger,

582
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: we can welcome you in here. I thought the Peyton

583
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: Manning was going to go to the Titans. That was

584
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: like two days in NFL history or one day in

585
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: NFL history. People thought Peyton Manning was going to join

586
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:28,959
Speaker 1: the Titans. Yep, that was a fun n good well

587
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: the very reason why he didn't actually, but it's not

588
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: we can't talk about it on the show. Justin is

589
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,679
Speaker 1: really good on Mike. He's got his own podcast of

590
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: course on the Titans, which everyone should check out. But

591
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: one of my favorite things is sometimes when you catch

592
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: just Justin off guard, we get that answer, and that's

593
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: almost one of my favorite parts of the show. Well,

594
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: sometimes I'm I'm giving a stupid answer to Stall while

595
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 1: I try to find the drop to play that makes

596
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: a lot of sense, and then you with the logical

597
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: thing on our behalf would be it will be like, well,

598
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: you know what, why don't we don't worry about that

599
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: drop anymore? But no, that that needs to stay as well.

600
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: And speaking of Peyton Manning, the Jets had a doomed

601
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: pursuit of Peyton Manning and just to make their quarterback

602
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: feel better, Mark Sanchez. They gave him a huge contract

603
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: extension that immediately backfired as a result. So that was

604
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: if you didn't get Peyton, you were hurting in different ways. Anyway,

605
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: Cowboys win. Giants have come back a little bit, and

606
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 1: there are seasons that a little bit of a crossroads.

607
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: Let's take a break and when we get back, we'll

608
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 1: hit the primetime game. When I think of John Man

609
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: and not think of the word big, John was a

610
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 1: big man, big personality. From across him, the left goes

611
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: to right, the right goes to left. Hall of Fame coach,

612
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: really hall of Fame announcer, and has done so much

613
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: to promote the love of football, A special special man.

614
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: I wanted great ambassadors in the history of the game.

615
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: First intent from the Patriot fifteen We're all Todd TWI

616
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: Cousins under center play action to Dalpin Kirk's great drop.

617
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:15,280
Speaker 1: Looks yeah, good team yard touchdown pullets from Cussins to

618
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 1: the and it's thirty two five games. Yes, that would

619
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: be all for the Vikings and all they would need.

620
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 1: Paul Allen with the call w k F A N

621
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: I should say Kirk Cousins through for two ninety nine

622
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: and three touches um for one game at least the

623
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: spelling any notions that he can't play with the sundown

624
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: and that go ahead score to Adam thelan with to

625
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: play did lead. The Vikings passed the Patriots a game

626
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: Patriots team thirty three to six on Thursday night in Minneapolis. Greggy,

627
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 1: this was a game the Vikings obviously needed after an

628
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 1: embat are some glow out at the hands of the

629
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,239
Speaker 1: Cowboys four days earlier. That kind of readjusted the way

630
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: a lot of people looked at them. I don't know

631
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: if this for me changes my feelings about the Vikings. Um.

632
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: I kind of expected them to handle the Patriots, and

633
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: I thought the Patriots would show up in this game.

634
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's huge win for them

635
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: because you bury what was the low point of your

636
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: season pretty quickly. Yeah. I think it was a huge

637
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 1: game for both teams. There were more lead changes to

638
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,560
Speaker 1: take the lead than any game since they showed a

639
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: status I believe right, Yeah, it was. I think it

640
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 1: was six. In the end, it like they were. It

641
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: was up for either team to take control. So I

642
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: think it's a heartbreaking loss for the Patriots, and I

643
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: think it's a massive win for the Vikings because it

644
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 1: was all about Kirk. Kirk started the game very up

645
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: and down. He threw an interception, he had another one

646
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,960
Speaker 1: or two passes in the first half that made your

647
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: one in the first half, one in the second that

648
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: could have been picked. But other than that, he was

649
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: throwing dimes. Justin Jefferson was the best player in this game,

650
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: and sometimes it just comes down to that. Yes, Kirk

651
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 1: like put it in a good spot for him, but

652
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: these were tight coverage catches for him to get nine

653
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: for one thirty nine in a touchdown. I think they

654
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: put to bed that this Patriots defense is in any

655
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: way special when they play against like a real quarterback

656
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: in a real offense. But I think Kirk Cousins showed

657
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,560
Speaker 1: that he is that guy, and and they were good

658
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 1: pointing out in the broadcast early that even though he

659
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 1: started with those interceptions like he was making difficult timing

660
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 1: throws again and again into that Patriots coverage, and he

661
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: stood up in a day where they needed to put

662
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: up thirty to win this game or else it wasn't

663
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 1: gonna happen. They did it because I think that's their

664
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: route to being relevant is being an offensive team, because

665
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: I don't think this team is special at all. I

666
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: think they're below average defensively in Minnesota, they're gonna need

667
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins have games like this and that deal in touchdown.

668
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: Why does it happen? Because all game long you had

669
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 1: two or three people on Justin Jefferson and Jonathan Jones

670
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 1: is a good cornerback. Gave up six catches for nine

671
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown with Jefferson. I just think part

672
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: of it is that the Cousins Jefferson connection. He just

673
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: has so much belief in Jefferson sometimes triple and so

674
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: it's like Cousins still, I think, you know, versus a

675
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: different type of white out out. There are different cast

676
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: of characters, like he just believes Jefferson is gonna make

677
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: the catch and he does. And I mean, I just

678
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: thought this was a weird game for New England because you,

679
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,640
Speaker 1: I think your best Mac Jones performance up until that

680
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 1: fourth quarter where the offense just fizzled away, and a

681
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: week after they essentially fried the Jets with special teams,

682
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: and we were talking all week long about how much

683
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: that's imbued and who they are and the Belichick experience.

684
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: They had a terrible um running into the punter on

685
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: fourth and four that set the Vikings up for New Life.

686
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 1: They gave up the punt return obviously they had a

687
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: thirty one yard punt themselves. It was just a sort

688
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: of a complete meltdown at home. I thought that was

689
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: unexpected for New England. They're sitting at six and five

690
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: right now and out of the playoff picture. Yeah, well,

691
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: I thought in general. And now they have, you know,

692
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: at Buffalo, uh their next game. So we're gonna we're

693
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: gonna learn really where New England sits. Um. I thought

694
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: they hung well in this game. You're right. The it

695
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 1: is ironic coming off what happened the previous week that

696
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: the turning point in the game was a special team's play.

697
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: Because the the Patriots takeover at halftime, they go right

698
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,000
Speaker 1: down the field Mac Jones, the hunter, Henry and let's

699
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: talk about Henry again a little bit later. But thirty

700
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: seven yard touchdown, they're up sixteen, and then to give

701
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: up um the ninety seven yard kickoff return to uh,

702
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 1: who's gonna help me with this? Ken A No? Angu

703
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: mm hmm, you're no, that's I list. I went back

704
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: and listened to it. It sounded similar that is that

705
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: that was a crusher um for the Patriots. But I

706
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: thought it was really important to see mac Jones on

707
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: the Patriots side build off what I thought was a

708
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 1: pretty good game against the Jets. Now to throw an

709
00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,840
Speaker 1: attack down field and make make plays. Um, it should

710
00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 1: have been another touchdown pass. You should have finished with

711
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 1: three touchdown passes in this game if not for a

712
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: very very strange call. I thought, uh on a Hunter

713
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,360
Speaker 1: Henry target and near the goal line on third down?

714
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: What was the situation where what at what point in

715
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: the game where we act? It was third down and

716
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: they had to settle for field goals mid third quarter?

717
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: So is the ensuing drive after the kickoff return right?

718
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: So exactly so you have the touchdown out of the half,

719
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: you have the kickoff return by the Vikings, and the Patriots,

720
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: to their credit, take the ball back and they don't

721
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: go three and out and the game gets away from

722
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 1: They go right down the field again. Mac Jones hits

723
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:39,279
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry for what is to me a clear touchdown

724
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: that would have put them up by uh seven UM

725
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: in this game. And it's with sixty three to go

726
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: on the third but instead they challenge it and they

727
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: rule that Hunter Henry didn't maintain and survive contact on

728
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: the ground. I could hear Chris Wesling go nuts about

729
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: this right now? Uh, this call on the field. And

730
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: and because I thought this could be something, because I,

731
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: even as a Jets fan, was outraged by the call.

732
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 1: What does Zolac think about this? Over on w b Z,

733
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: Let's listen what he had to say, Chris DAILI could rolls.

734
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: You can't have more crystal clear indication of the figures

735
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 1: under the ball. Did the ball come up? Yes, the

736
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,800
Speaker 1: corroll didn't force the ball and never touched the ground.

737
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 1: What worst case scenario it should be at the one

738
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 1: foot line. Well, there's the thing. Then play review outlasted

739
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: the television right, they're looking for stuff. Now. You know

740
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:42,320
Speaker 1: what annoys me? It's funny the sentient power raid bottle.

741
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: Everything he said is right there. I guess, yeah. I

742
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:49,359
Speaker 1: mean that was totally sober minded, crystal clear take on things.

743
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 1: I thought. I agree with the Zola I think Terry

744
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: McAuley got this call overturn. I continue to believe that

745
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: the broadcast team Jim Nance often gets them to replay

746
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:03,399
Speaker 1: it their all watching the broadcast and macauley came in

747
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 1: and was weirdly confident that this should be overturned from

748
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: the beginning, and and Zolex right, you can see the

749
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 1: fingers under the ball. But I think because McAuley was

750
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:17,759
Speaker 1: so clear, I really think that's what does it sometimes

751
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: And it's like the first view it's supposed to be

752
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: reviewed though, where it's like in you know, incontrovertible evidence

753
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 1: to overturn it. So that was crazy, and it was

754
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 1: part of like, you know, they were on the end

755
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: of some some tough calls. They also played a lot

756
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: of made a lot of bone headed mistakes. It was

757
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,720
Speaker 1: just like a really sloppy one. I think they'll they'll

758
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: regret because of those. UM, that's an interesting comic. Greg

759
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: Terry McAuley is a employee of NBC and if if

760
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: he's if he's the one responsible for I mean, this

761
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: is by me. But we know that when Nance says

762
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 1: they got to look at this, then suddenly they stopped,

763
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: they start looking at it. So that's saying I disagree.

764
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, if that's actually what's going on here,

765
00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: you're using UM and outside the league, UM employee of

766
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 1: the broadcast to uh make major game shifting calls. I

767
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: would hope that we're just letting it influence you, because

768
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 1: I other I was trying to come up with a

769
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: reason why that that that would have been overturned otherwise.

770
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:21,959
Speaker 1: I I think Greg is a point in the sense

771
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: that is that triggering it automatically? No, But is there

772
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: this idea that there's this bubbling up perception of something

773
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: having having gone wrong in the game. Twitter is going

774
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: nuts everywhere, It's becoming a talking point, it's becoming a

775
00:38:33,280 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: subject for shows the next day, and it's like, quick,

776
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: let's get on this and maybe even have our our

777
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: decision influenced by the reaction in real time. So some

778
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: calls went against the Patriots. There was also like a

779
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: missed face mask um on mac Jones on the second

780
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: to last drive, a tripping call that they could have

781
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 1: made on one of those sacks of mac Jones. All

782
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: that said, the Patriots lost this game more because they

783
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: struggled in all the way is that Belichick hates, which

784
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: are not unique. This year, they were way negative on

785
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: penalties this year. Their number one in the league in

786
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: terms of net penalties, so like they have more penalties

787
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: than their opponents. UH their second in the league in

788
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: net penalty yards. This was another one that that killed him.

789
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 1: They're terrible and situational football. They were owed for three

790
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: in the red zone. They're one of the worst red

791
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 1: zone teams. They blew the clock situation at both the

792
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: end of the first half and didn't have time for

793
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 1: a couple of extra plays to score a touchdown because

794
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: both mac Jones and Hunter Henry made mental mistakes. You

795
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 1: mentioned the running into the punter thing, which led directly

796
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: UH to seven points. They kind of botched even the

797
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: final drive situation UH there in terms of clock management.

798
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: They've just not been a smart team. And this isn't

799
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:50,399
Speaker 1: a unique thing to this last week. They've been a

800
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: very sloppy in the way that Belichick hates type of

801
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 1: team all year, and they lose the turnover margin. It's

802
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 1: like this team, this seems not good enough to win

803
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: those that type of way. They're just not But Greg,

804
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:02,840
Speaker 1: do you do you not think some of this charts

805
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: back to the fact that UM in an avant garde

806
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: approach to coaching staffs. They have this miniscule coaching staff

807
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: that includes his son and a defensive coordinator and a

808
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 1: special teams coordinator of old running the offense, and they

809
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: spent the first two months of the season totally disjointed

810
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. We're finally getting a

811
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 1: little bit from Mac Jones, but it's like there's no robust,

812
00:40:22,840 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: uh like voice in Belichick's here and on these sideline

813
00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: situations like there there. This is a typical of the Patriots.

814
00:40:30,600 --> 00:40:32,279
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit because of how the

815
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: coaching staff is constructed. I agree, although they were very

816
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: sloppy a year ago too, so maybe who knows, Maybe

817
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: it's just like maybe the old man's getting old. It

818
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: wasn't that different a year ago outside of the offensive court. Mac.

819
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,560
Speaker 1: You're right though, and that was mac jones best game

820
00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: by far this year, so that was Yeah, I'm more

821
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: I guess I'm a little more optimistic about going on

822
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: out of this game. That was a huge moment for

823
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: them to throw for three a two. I know there

824
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,080
Speaker 1: was a little garbage time at the very end, but

825
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 1: he was over three by that point. A lot of

826
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,800
Speaker 1: big players down the field. Uh, He's thrown it accurately.

827
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: Two weeks in a row. He was hyper accurate and

828
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: bad conditions against the Jets mostly short game, he attacked

829
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 1: down field. I think it bodes very well the Patriots.

830
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:16,560
Speaker 1: To me, I still I kind of see him as

831
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: like a tenant seven team, and I think that it

832
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: will be enough to get it in. But they gotta

833
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 1: right now, they can't get They have two games against

834
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 1: the Bills. So if you got that puts you at

835
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: seven right there, Well when the win the next one,

836
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: because you got at Buffalo and we well, you don't

837
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: know what Buffalo needs or doesn't need by week eighteen,

838
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:36,680
Speaker 1: but the game will be in New England, just to

839
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:41,480
Speaker 1: correct myself, Thursday Night Football UM on December one, and

840
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: on the on the on the Viking side of it,

841
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: it's crazy the way that the season is played out.

842
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,959
Speaker 1: But the Vikings can clinch the NFC North next week

843
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: with a win over the Jets at home and a

844
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: little bit of outside help. So they have put themselves

845
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: in an excellent position here. They're right in it with

846
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 1: the Cowboys and obviously the Eagles still leading the NFC.

847
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 1: And yeah, I'm feeling Kirk Cousins this year. I'm feeling

848
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: continuing to stack some big games and put some ghosts

849
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: to bed. Why is no one talking about Kevin O'Connell

850
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 1: is Coach of the Year. I mean, especially after the

851
00:42:11,560 --> 00:42:13,600
Speaker 1: way they bounced back this week and what they are

852
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: in general. I mean, I get choice for the Coach

853
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,919
Speaker 1: of the Year. I'm just saying he's in the mix.

854
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he use my choice right now. Like

855
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: a top five I want top five lists for all

856
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 1: the awards. By the way, they're just doing it for

857
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: m v P give It the Year. Well what about

858
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: top five for Assistant Coach of the Year. I don't

859
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: know why that has been like a priority number one?

860
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: Why I feel like the lighting has changed in your

861
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 1: room in the prison. I am next to a light,

862
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: I'm next to a window, and uh I Typically when

863
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 1: we do this on Fridays at ten am, I have

864
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: to cover up the open space with a lot of

865
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 1: garments and I failed to do that, and now I

866
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: feel like I have, like, um, the sun burning the

867
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: skin off. Are we putting this up on YouTube? Justin God?

868
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: I hope not. We are. We are People shouldn't be

869
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: checking out our YouTube show, as I know some of

870
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: you guys like it that way. You see the facial

871
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: reactions We've noticed the previews and the recaps. Especially, people

872
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: are starting to watch him. So do it. If it

873
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 1: gets us paid more in the long run, let's do that.

874
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:17,319
Speaker 1: By no, if you if you enjoy the program in

875
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 1: that way, please do that, and you know, don't get

876
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 1: us paid more development. I'm just having a little fun.

877
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: I'm having alright. I thought they almost didn't make a

878
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: big enough deal the fact that Kevin O'Connell was drafted

879
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: by by the Bill Belichick to be a backup for

880
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: Tom Brady like eight years into his career, and here

881
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,040
Speaker 1: he goes and beats the guy that drafted him. That's

882
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 1: pretty cool. I feel like everyone at some point in

883
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: their lifespan was drafted to be a backup to Tom Brady.

884
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: That was me in two thousand two. Actually didn't work out,

885
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: didn't didn't see the field all right. So there you go.

886
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,439
Speaker 1: Those are the Thanksgiving Games. Thank you to everybody, uh

Speaker 1: we got the whole weekend here and let's go us.

897
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: The problem with your confident way you started this y podcast, Dan,

898
00:44:35,160 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: is you know the game will be over by the

899
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: time most people are here, said, I know, I know.

900
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: I'm just saying shot got beautiful. The timing is tricky. Yeah,

901
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: the time we can addit. I will take the slings

902
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:55,120
Speaker 1: and arrows. If by some shock to the system, England

903
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 1: actually beats the US in a World Cup match, which

904
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: has literally never happened. Um, So I don't expect that

905
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 1: to change, but if it does, I will on Sunday

906
00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 1: give respect to the Three Lions. Yeah. Great, it's a

907
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 1: great move Dan, to antagonize, um what is essentially like

908
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: th of our listener base. So, um, I hope that

909
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: goes well for you. But there's other countries out there.

910
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,760
Speaker 1: We had a listener from Norway who wanted a shout

911
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: out to shout out to Norway. So that leads right now.

912
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: With the way the light is hitting your face, can

913
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: you just stop we keep talking. The game will literally

914
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 1: started you all right, everybody. Thank you to everybody. I

915
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 1: hope everybody had a great Thanksgiving, have a great weekend.
