1 00:00:04,364 --> 00:00:07,244 Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership 2 00:00:07,284 --> 00:00:25,684 Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio. It's not all great with the Lions right now. 3 00:00:25,844 --> 00:00:27,684 Speaker 2: We can't possibly say that they've lost three of their 4 00:00:27,724 --> 00:00:28,364 Speaker 2: last five games. 5 00:00:28,364 --> 00:00:29,484 Speaker 3: They're a six and four team. 6 00:00:29,884 --> 00:00:31,764 Speaker 2: They got problems to deal with, not that they won't 7 00:00:31,764 --> 00:00:33,644 Speaker 2: deal with them, but let's just start addressed in some 8 00:00:33,684 --> 00:00:36,284 Speaker 2: of those. So, they want to win the division they got, 9 00:00:36,284 --> 00:00:38,364 Speaker 2: they want that home playoff game, they want the NFC 10 00:00:38,364 --> 00:00:38,844 Speaker 2: Nord title. 11 00:00:39,204 --> 00:00:41,284 Speaker 3: They've already lost to the Packers. It was Week one. 12 00:00:41,324 --> 00:00:43,444 Speaker 2: It was a very strange game which they looked really bad. 13 00:00:43,484 --> 00:00:45,724 Speaker 2: They've already lost to the Packers. That's not great. They 14 00:00:45,724 --> 00:00:48,884 Speaker 2: will see the Packers again. Then there's the Bears problem. 15 00:00:48,924 --> 00:00:51,004 Speaker 2: Is it a problem? The Bears are in first place 16 00:00:51,044 --> 00:00:52,484 Speaker 2: in a vision, there's seven and three, They've won a 17 00:00:52,484 --> 00:00:53,364 Speaker 2: bunch of games in a row. 18 00:00:53,524 --> 00:00:54,924 Speaker 3: Lest we forget, the. 19 00:00:54,924 --> 00:00:58,924 Speaker 2: Detroit Lions put fifty two points on the Ben Johnson 20 00:00:58,964 --> 00:01:01,244 Speaker 2: Bears in a game that felt very important, very personal. 21 00:01:01,644 --> 00:01:04,244 Speaker 2: So I don't think the Lions fans, players are staff 22 00:01:04,404 --> 00:01:06,884 Speaker 2: are terribly worried about the Bears, who were a threat. 23 00:01:07,244 --> 00:01:11,364 Speaker 2: The other thing is the Eagles absolutely backhanded them right 24 00:01:11,404 --> 00:01:11,844 Speaker 2: off the field. 25 00:01:11,964 --> 00:01:12,484 Speaker 3: That was an. 26 00:01:12,364 --> 00:01:15,924 Speaker 2: Absolutely humbling destruction of a game. I know their tight 27 00:01:16,044 --> 00:01:18,404 Speaker 2: end wasn't out there. I know that Jared Goff would 28 00:01:18,444 --> 00:01:20,604 Speaker 2: not have suddenly morphed into some sort of superstar if 29 00:01:20,604 --> 00:01:22,844 Speaker 2: he was. The problem with the Lions, as always, and 30 00:01:22,884 --> 00:01:25,364 Speaker 2: this is what they call a Champagne problem now, is 31 00:01:25,404 --> 00:01:26,924 Speaker 2: that if they don't win the Super Bowl this. 32 00:01:26,924 --> 00:01:27,964 Speaker 3: Year, it's a disappointment. 33 00:01:28,004 --> 00:01:30,124 Speaker 2: There's about eight teams in the league that can say 34 00:01:30,124 --> 00:01:30,884 Speaker 2: that they're one of them. 35 00:01:30,924 --> 00:01:34,084 Speaker 3: Congratulations. So guys, they got. 36 00:01:33,884 --> 00:01:36,284 Speaker 2: To beat Philly most likely, and the way things are going, 37 00:01:36,324 --> 00:01:38,164 Speaker 2: they're gonna have to go back to that same field, 38 00:01:38,364 --> 00:01:41,684 Speaker 2: so they're going to have to have a massive one 39 00:01:41,724 --> 00:01:43,604 Speaker 2: to eighty. And how they performed on that field against 40 00:01:43,604 --> 00:01:46,764 Speaker 2: that d line they scored nine points. Jared goff last 41 00:01:46,764 --> 00:01:48,364 Speaker 2: twenty passes, he completed two of them. 42 00:01:48,524 --> 00:01:49,924 Speaker 3: It was barely even football. 43 00:01:50,324 --> 00:01:52,844 Speaker 2: So if you believe that they can go there in six, seven, 44 00:01:52,924 --> 00:01:54,844 Speaker 2: eight weeks, whatever it is and have that big of 45 00:01:54,844 --> 00:01:59,684 Speaker 2: a turnaround, I am not necessarily with you. So NFC 46 00:01:59,724 --> 00:02:02,004 Speaker 2: North problems don't really scare me that much. Packers aren't 47 00:02:02,004 --> 00:02:04,684 Speaker 2: playing well. The Bears they hammered last time. But if 48 00:02:04,684 --> 00:02:06,644 Speaker 2: you are a Lions fan who's like, I want. 49 00:02:06,444 --> 00:02:07,364 Speaker 3: A parade this year. 50 00:02:07,684 --> 00:02:09,524 Speaker 2: Then you got to watch this game tape and be like, 51 00:02:09,924 --> 00:02:11,484 Speaker 2: what the hell are we going to do about that 52 00:02:11,564 --> 00:02:12,164 Speaker 2: Eagles front? 53 00:02:12,164 --> 00:02:13,764 Speaker 3: Because they seem to be only getting better. 54 00:02:13,884 --> 00:02:15,964 Speaker 2: It's not all great in Detroit right now because their 55 00:02:16,004 --> 00:02:18,524 Speaker 2: expectations are great, and right now I'm not projecting them 56 00:02:18,564 --> 00:02:22,324 Speaker 2: to meet them. Let's look right now at the NFC 57 00:02:22,364 --> 00:02:25,604 Speaker 2: playoff picture. What jumps out? I'll tell you a few things. 58 00:02:25,844 --> 00:02:28,004 Speaker 2: Let's jump out to who's at the top, all right? 59 00:02:28,444 --> 00:02:31,484 Speaker 2: The Eagles playoffs start right now, which they don't. They 60 00:02:31,484 --> 00:02:33,444 Speaker 2: get a buy and they have home field to vantage 61 00:02:33,484 --> 00:02:36,644 Speaker 2: throughout the Rams same record as the Eagles, sitting there 62 00:02:36,684 --> 00:02:37,244 Speaker 2: at eight and two. 63 00:02:37,564 --> 00:02:39,044 Speaker 3: The damn Chicago. 64 00:02:38,684 --> 00:02:41,404 Speaker 2: Bears are all alone in first place in the NFC North, 65 00:02:41,404 --> 00:02:43,284 Speaker 2: the team that the Lion's thumped, but it feels like 66 00:02:43,324 --> 00:02:46,164 Speaker 2: months ago. And then, for the sake of this conversation, 67 00:02:47,084 --> 00:02:49,804 Speaker 2: Detroit is now lurky. That means they're not in the playoffs. 68 00:02:49,804 --> 00:02:52,244 Speaker 2: There's six and four. If you believe Detroit will be 69 00:02:52,284 --> 00:02:55,044 Speaker 2: in the playoffs, which I still do, we're looking at 70 00:02:55,044 --> 00:02:57,564 Speaker 2: a scenario where it's very likely, guys, that they're going 71 00:02:57,644 --> 00:03:00,204 Speaker 2: to go to Philadelphia, very likely in the playoffs that 72 00:03:00,244 --> 00:03:02,404 Speaker 2: they get there, Who the hell knows they need may 73 00:03:02,404 --> 00:03:04,364 Speaker 2: even go to Chicago. We don't know how this this 74 00:03:04,404 --> 00:03:05,964 Speaker 2: is to thing. We know the Eagles are going to 75 00:03:05,964 --> 00:03:07,524 Speaker 2: be there. I still believe the Lions are. 76 00:03:07,364 --> 00:03:07,924 Speaker 3: Going to be there. 77 00:03:08,204 --> 00:03:10,444 Speaker 2: Let's talk about this because this is a conversation people 78 00:03:10,484 --> 00:03:12,524 Speaker 2: are having this morning, aside from the passing, their appearance 79 00:03:12,524 --> 00:03:14,244 Speaker 2: at the end of the game, which I don't care 80 00:03:14,284 --> 00:03:16,364 Speaker 2: about because the Lions offense was so terrible. 81 00:03:16,404 --> 00:03:17,524 Speaker 3: I don't think they would have scored. 82 00:03:18,004 --> 00:03:20,324 Speaker 2: When you see Jared Goff and you see all the 83 00:03:20,324 --> 00:03:23,084 Speaker 2: incompletions in the total domination from the D line, how 84 00:03:23,124 --> 00:03:24,084 Speaker 2: does it make you feel? 85 00:03:24,284 --> 00:03:26,404 Speaker 3: Forget Philadelphia? Second, how does it make. 86 00:03:26,244 --> 00:03:29,484 Speaker 2: You feel about Detroit in these NFC playoffs they are 87 00:03:29,524 --> 00:03:31,444 Speaker 2: going to be about I don't know, seven, eight weeks 88 00:03:31,444 --> 00:03:35,964 Speaker 2: from now. It's just so surreal because we keep waiting 89 00:03:36,004 --> 00:03:37,324 Speaker 2: for them to. 90 00:03:37,244 --> 00:03:40,204 Speaker 3: Put the cape on and say, all right, here they come. 91 00:03:40,244 --> 00:03:41,044 Speaker 3: They come running. 92 00:03:41,604 --> 00:03:43,764 Speaker 2: Last year, all they would do is win close games 93 00:03:43,844 --> 00:03:45,804 Speaker 2: that every single wee week was a close game they'd win. 94 00:03:45,844 --> 00:03:48,004 Speaker 3: This year, this year, they don't win any close games. 95 00:03:48,084 --> 00:03:51,204 Speaker 2: Just historically in the Mahomes era, five and five right now. 96 00:03:51,284 --> 00:03:53,484 Speaker 2: He was six and four and twenty nineteen won the 97 00:03:53,484 --> 00:03:55,644 Speaker 2: Super Bowl. In twenty twenty when it was three and 98 00:03:55,724 --> 00:03:57,964 Speaker 2: four to the title game. In twenty twenty three, he 99 00:03:58,044 --> 00:04:00,644 Speaker 2: was eight and five won the Super Bowl. But we 100 00:04:00,684 --> 00:04:02,804 Speaker 2: have not seen five and five. And bring up the 101 00:04:02,844 --> 00:04:05,604 Speaker 2: standings again, guys, if you will see playoff picture, it's 102 00:04:05,644 --> 00:04:08,404 Speaker 2: even worse than five and five. And I'll tell you why, 103 00:04:09,124 --> 00:04:13,644 Speaker 2: because Kansas City has lost to all three current wild 104 00:04:13,764 --> 00:04:18,564 Speaker 2: Card teams, that being Buffalo, the Chargers, and the Jaguars. 105 00:04:18,564 --> 00:04:19,924 Speaker 3: To see those in the middle column. 106 00:04:20,284 --> 00:04:23,644 Speaker 2: The Chiefs have lost to all of them, meaning each 107 00:04:23,724 --> 00:04:27,524 Speaker 2: of those three hold the head to head tiebreaker over 108 00:04:27,564 --> 00:04:31,404 Speaker 2: the Chiefs. So it's like they can't even catch those teams. 109 00:04:31,844 --> 00:04:35,684 Speaker 2: They have to get past these teams. And you're saying, 110 00:04:35,684 --> 00:04:39,724 Speaker 2: a hold on a second, I see Mahomes, I see read, 111 00:04:40,844 --> 00:04:44,124 Speaker 2: I see all the guys. What this is the same 112 00:04:44,204 --> 00:04:48,404 Speaker 2: band as always. Mahomes looks shaky as hell. He does 113 00:04:48,444 --> 00:04:52,964 Speaker 2: not look magical. He's twenty first in completion percentage, he's 114 00:04:53,044 --> 00:04:56,884 Speaker 2: fifteenth and passer rating. It's just not Mahomes. And we 115 00:04:56,884 --> 00:05:00,644 Speaker 2: were told, well, you gets Rashi Rice back. She Rice 116 00:05:00,764 --> 00:05:03,244 Speaker 2: is out there. They don't involve him very much. But 117 00:05:03,364 --> 00:05:06,924 Speaker 2: he's out there. Sark is still running the defense. He's 118 00:05:06,964 --> 00:05:10,724 Speaker 2: on the sideline. The band is back together. The band's 119 00:05:10,764 --> 00:05:13,364 Speaker 2: not hitting the notes. And here's the deal. They have 120 00:05:13,444 --> 00:05:16,284 Speaker 2: lost two in a row. Right next week at home 121 00:05:16,604 --> 00:05:21,044 Speaker 2: versus Nadianapolis Colts, Patrick Mahomes never in his NFL career 122 00:05:21,084 --> 00:05:24,204 Speaker 2: has lost three games in a row. It has never happened, 123 00:05:24,564 --> 00:05:27,284 Speaker 2: Never three in a row. The Colts come in off 124 00:05:27,324 --> 00:05:30,604 Speaker 2: the buy. They're going to run the wheels off Jonathan 125 00:05:30,644 --> 00:05:33,204 Speaker 2: Taylor with fresh legs after two weeks break, and the 126 00:05:33,284 --> 00:05:36,324 Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs is a playoff game next week. If 127 00:05:36,364 --> 00:05:38,204 Speaker 2: they lose next week, by the way, in front of 128 00:05:38,244 --> 00:05:42,364 Speaker 2: their home fans and Chiefs Kingdom and all the Chiefs 129 00:05:42,444 --> 00:05:46,204 Speaker 2: celebrity fans, and it's over. It is not over now, 130 00:05:46,284 --> 00:05:49,084 Speaker 2: It is not. It's damn close to over, but it 131 00:05:49,124 --> 00:05:51,284 Speaker 2: is not over. And Manti, my last thing is a 132 00:05:51,284 --> 00:05:54,164 Speaker 2: personal thing. I don't want it to be over. I 133 00:05:54,364 --> 00:05:57,084 Speaker 2: want the Chiefs in the playoffs. I'm totally biased. 134 00:05:57,084 --> 00:05:57,644 Speaker 3: I don't care. 135 00:05:57,884 --> 00:05:59,524 Speaker 2: I don't care if they win once they get there. 136 00:05:59,884 --> 00:06:02,804 Speaker 2: But you better believe if something crazy happens where Buffalo 137 00:06:02,844 --> 00:06:05,484 Speaker 2: catches fire and gets to the super Bowl, I want 138 00:06:05,524 --> 00:06:07,244 Speaker 2: them to go through Kansas City or the story is 139 00:06:07,244 --> 00:06:09,604 Speaker 2: in complete. I want Baltimore to go through Kansas City. 140 00:06:09,644 --> 00:06:13,204 Speaker 2: I want Kansas City to be there. It's just Patrick 141 00:06:13,244 --> 00:06:15,724 Speaker 2: Ewing once screamed at Michael Jordan, who retired to. 142 00:06:15,644 --> 00:06:18,284 Speaker 3: Go play baseball. No no, no, no no, I need to beat you. 143 00:06:18,324 --> 00:06:19,724 Speaker 3: Come back. You can't retire. 144 00:06:20,164 --> 00:06:23,284 Speaker 2: I need the Chiefs in the playoffs because whoever wins 145 00:06:23,284 --> 00:06:25,844 Speaker 2: those NFC playoffs should go through the Chiefs. 146 00:06:25,844 --> 00:06:27,524 Speaker 3: And right now the Chiefs ain't gonna be there. 147 00:06:28,604 --> 00:06:31,524 Speaker 2: I'm starting to really enjoy this Bears team, I really am, 148 00:06:31,724 --> 00:06:35,124 Speaker 2: because they have a lot of flaws, a lot, but 149 00:06:35,164 --> 00:06:37,804 Speaker 2: they also have something that every team wants, and even 150 00:06:37,884 --> 00:06:41,004 Speaker 2: some really good teams don't have. This Bears team has 151 00:06:41,044 --> 00:06:43,604 Speaker 2: an identity. They have it, they have found it, they 152 00:06:43,604 --> 00:06:47,324 Speaker 2: have molded it. The identity is keep it close, have 153 00:06:47,404 --> 00:06:50,524 Speaker 2: a lot of takeaways on defense, be in a close 154 00:06:50,644 --> 00:06:53,644 Speaker 2: game at the fourth quarter, and they will win. 155 00:06:53,804 --> 00:06:54,724 Speaker 3: It's what they do. You know what. 156 00:06:54,764 --> 00:06:56,644 Speaker 2: I knew they were gonna win this game. I knew 157 00:06:56,684 --> 00:07:00,404 Speaker 2: it is the second. Ironically, JJ McCarthy threw a touchdown 158 00:07:00,404 --> 00:07:02,604 Speaker 2: pass to Jordanatis and I said the game's over because 159 00:07:02,604 --> 00:07:05,004 Speaker 2: there was fifty seconds left and you know what, the 160 00:07:05,084 --> 00:07:07,684 Speaker 2: second they scored that. I've said this five times this year. Oh, 161 00:07:07,684 --> 00:07:09,404 Speaker 2: they scored too fast. They left too much time on 162 00:07:09,444 --> 00:07:11,964 Speaker 2: the clock. The Bears are the too much time team. 163 00:07:12,404 --> 00:07:15,284 Speaker 2: You cannot leave too much time for the Bears because 164 00:07:15,284 --> 00:07:17,444 Speaker 2: they will beat you at the end. I've learned this. 165 00:07:17,924 --> 00:07:19,484 Speaker 2: All of us here in the show. We're learning this. 166 00:07:19,564 --> 00:07:21,364 Speaker 2: I'm hoping the audience is learning this. But I'll tell 167 00:07:21,404 --> 00:07:24,324 Speaker 2: you what a lot of Bears fans not learning this. 168 00:07:24,444 --> 00:07:26,564 Speaker 2: And in a tradition that is now continuing, on a 169 00:07:26,564 --> 00:07:30,764 Speaker 2: Monday morning, we do a Bears fan tweet roundup and 170 00:07:30,924 --> 00:07:32,524 Speaker 2: cleanup of Bears tweets. 171 00:07:32,524 --> 00:07:34,284 Speaker 3: Here we go, Aaron. 172 00:07:34,084 --> 00:07:37,204 Speaker 2: Mays, Chicago Bears up sixteen to three with eleven minutes 173 00:07:37,244 --> 00:07:39,644 Speaker 2: left in the game, and they are going to lose again. 174 00:07:40,004 --> 00:07:42,964 Speaker 3: Guess what, Aaron, They won again, seven and three.

King Rat, I'll say Bear's. 180 00:08:01,684 --> 00:08:05,444 Speaker 2: Gonna double dooint to lose it, calling it now, King Ratt, 181 00:08:05,684 --> 00:08:09,284 Speaker 2: get out of here. Cairo Santos split the upright. There 182 00:08:09,284 --> 00:08:11,644 Speaker 2: wasn't even a single doing. Get him out of here, 183 00:08:11,724 --> 00:08:14,524 Speaker 2: Bears seven and three, King Rat, How dare you? Matthew 184 00:08:14,564 --> 00:08:16,764 Speaker 2: Long Junior. He's got a suit and tie on. 185 00:08:16,764 --> 00:08:18,644 Speaker 3: In his picture. He looks like a businessman. 186 00:08:19,124 --> 00:08:21,444 Speaker 2: Ben Johnson called conservative plays not to lose. 187 00:08:21,604 --> 00:08:22,844 Speaker 3: Santo's sucks. 188 00:08:23,124 --> 00:08:26,604 Speaker 2: The receivers have no hands, the defense collapse. Hashtag Bears, 189 00:08:26,644 --> 00:08:30,204 Speaker 2: hashtag seven and three. Matthew Long Junior, Matthew Long's senior 190 00:08:30,204 --> 00:08:32,444 Speaker 2: will be disappointed in you if you're lack of foresight, 191 00:08:32,604 --> 00:08:36,124 Speaker 2: lack of trust in the Chicago Bears. The Bears keep 192 00:08:36,164 --> 00:08:38,404 Speaker 2: on winning, and hopefully their fans keep on learning. 193 00:08:38,404 --> 00:08:39,924 Speaker 3: Because here's the most important thing, my friends. 194 00:08:40,084 --> 00:08:43,364 Speaker 2: As the Bears fans are still surprised that they win 195 00:08:43,404 --> 00:08:45,964 Speaker 2: at the end or still don't see that coming, I'm 196 00:08:45,964 --> 00:08:47,124 Speaker 2: gonna take you not yet. 197 00:08:47,204 --> 00:08:49,364 Speaker 3: I'm going to take you to the game winning kick 198 00:08:49,764 --> 00:08:50,364 Speaker 3: in which. 199 00:08:50,164 --> 00:08:52,604 Speaker 2: The face of the franchise is sitting on the bench 200 00:08:52,924 --> 00:08:55,884 Speaker 2: watching Cairo Santos, who had missed his last kick in 201 00:08:55,964 --> 00:08:58,404 Speaker 2: the dome amidst the skull collapse. And I want you 202 00:08:58,484 --> 00:09:02,004 Speaker 2: to see how surprised Caleb Williams looks that Cairo. 203 00:09:01,804 --> 00:09:04,524 Speaker 3: Santos makes this kick go ahead and roll it is. 204 00:09:04,604 --> 00:09:09,524 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams face looks surprised as this ball goes through, 205 00:09:10,324 --> 00:09:14,564 Speaker 2: not for a damn second. That dude doesn't flinch. His 206 00:09:14,644 --> 00:09:18,764 Speaker 2: eyebrows don't move a millimeter. There's no smirk, there's no relief, 207 00:09:18,844 --> 00:09:24,044 Speaker 2: there's no shock, there's no awe. That's a businessman doing business, 208 00:09:24,084 --> 00:09:28,204 Speaker 2: and his business is winning every single week, and then 209 00:09:28,244 --> 00:09:31,564 Speaker 2: having to hear afterwards that well the Vikings soccer and 210 00:09:31,564 --> 00:09:32,604 Speaker 2: you needed a last day. 211 00:09:32,484 --> 00:09:34,644 Speaker 3: And field go. Yeah. I kept peering that every single week. 212 00:09:34,804 --> 00:09:35,764 Speaker 3: I keep peering that every. 213 00:09:35,684 --> 00:09:37,564 Speaker 2: Team they play is terrible and they're gonna eventually get 214 00:09:37,564 --> 00:09:38,964 Speaker 2: caught up with the Bears. And if they beat the 215 00:09:38,964 --> 00:09:40,844 Speaker 2: Steelers next year, it's next week, it's gonna be like. 216 00:09:40,764 --> 00:09:43,204 Speaker 3: Well, Rogers wasn't right, all right? All right? 217 00:09:43,564 --> 00:09:45,884 Speaker 2: Their first place in the Norse. That says seven to three. 218 00:09:45,924 --> 00:09:48,524 Speaker 2: And I just hope, I hope. If you're not listening 219 00:09:48,524 --> 00:09:51,964 Speaker 2: to me, Bears fans, listen from Caleb Williams and watch 220 00:09:52,084 --> 00:09:53,604 Speaker 2: open your eyes because. 221 00:09:53,324 --> 00:09:55,804 Speaker 3: He sits there. Oh long kicked it in the game. Yep, 222 00:09:55,844 --> 00:09:57,324 Speaker 3: you made it. Let's go let's get on the bus. 223 00:09:57,564 --> 00:10:00,004 Speaker 3: That's what this Bears team is all about. Start paying attention. 224 00:10:01,444 --> 00:10:03,484 Speaker 2: It's a tasty thing that the Ravens will come tearing 225 00:10:03,484 --> 00:10:05,964 Speaker 2: down the stretch, and like Isaac saying, you do the 226 00:10:05,964 --> 00:10:08,684 Speaker 2: game where you look at the schedule, the Bengals Jets like, 227 00:10:08,724 --> 00:10:11,364 Speaker 2: maybe it could happen five and five, right, they to 228 00:10:11,404 --> 00:10:12,844 Speaker 2: give themselves a shot. I think they got to be 229 00:10:12,884 --> 00:10:14,484 Speaker 2: ten and seven, so they gotta go five and two 230 00:10:14,564 --> 00:10:15,204 Speaker 2: down the stretch. 231 00:10:15,244 --> 00:10:17,124 Speaker 3: Five and two. We can't even talk about it. 232 00:10:17,124 --> 00:10:19,444 Speaker 2: If Lamar's not gonna play out of his mind like yesterday, 233 00:10:19,484 --> 00:10:21,844 Speaker 2: by Lamar's amazing standards, was a poor game. You don't 234 00:10:21,844 --> 00:10:24,284 Speaker 2: really see Lamar play any worse than that. Two picks 235 00:10:24,364 --> 00:10:26,644 Speaker 2: just wasn't really doing much like that. We can't have that. 236 00:10:26,684 --> 00:10:29,284 Speaker 2: If Lamar is gonna play even average, it's it's not 237 00:10:29,324 --> 00:10:31,804 Speaker 2: gonna happen. Lamar's got to do like I mean, he's 238 00:10:31,804 --> 00:10:33,364 Speaker 2: not gonna have six touchdowns a game, but he's got 239 00:10:33,404 --> 00:10:35,324 Speaker 2: to basically do a Josh Allen thing like he did yesterday. 240 00:10:35,324 --> 00:10:37,484 Speaker 3: He has to say I'm going superhero mode. 241 00:10:37,564 --> 00:10:40,204 Speaker 2: I want this team in the playoffs this year because 242 00:10:40,444 --> 00:10:42,644 Speaker 2: they're pretty good, like they have great players, and they're 243 00:10:42,644 --> 00:10:45,764 Speaker 2: playing much better. But they just when you're so bad 244 00:10:45,804 --> 00:10:47,844 Speaker 2: with the win losses the beginning of the season, you 245 00:10:47,924 --> 00:10:50,924 Speaker 2: make it almost impossible. That's why constantly in September, I'm like, 246 00:10:51,204 --> 00:10:51,924 Speaker 2: just stack wins. 247 00:10:51,924 --> 00:10:53,204 Speaker 3: Who cares what the score is? 248 00:10:53,524 --> 00:10:55,804 Speaker 2: They didn't stack squad well, they stacked it, but I 249 00:10:55,804 --> 00:10:58,044 Speaker 2: can't say what they stacked on the air. Lamar's got 250 00:10:58,164 --> 00:10:59,644 Speaker 2: to find a way and just say I'm gonna find 251 00:10:59,644 --> 00:11:01,844 Speaker 2: my gear where I'm gonna say, I'm gonna go nuts here, 252 00:11:01,884 --> 00:11:03,204 Speaker 2: I'm gonna have four touchdowns a game. 253 00:11:03,244 --> 00:11:05,764 Speaker 3: I'm gonna play MVP, and then we'll talk about it. 254 00:11:06,164 --> 00:11:08,684 Speaker 2: I'm left this game saying, oh, that come running thing 255 00:11:08,724 --> 00:11:11,124 Speaker 2: from the Ravens probably isn't gonna happen just. 256 00:11:11,044 --> 00:11:12,724 Speaker 3: Because they just didn't look good. I'll call it what 257 00:11:12,764 --> 00:11:16,004 Speaker 3: it is. They didn't well too. It's a very intriguing storyline. 258 00:11:16,044 --> 00:11:18,244 Speaker 2: So watch Lamar next week and to see if he 259 00:11:18,244 --> 00:11:20,644 Speaker 2: can absolutely go nuclear, because if you can't, like it's 260 00:11:20,684 --> 00:11:24,284 Speaker 2: just too tall of attack. This reps my engine. Guys, 261 00:11:24,444 --> 00:11:26,644 Speaker 2: is the best time of the year. This is is cold. 262 00:11:26,684 --> 00:11:29,924 Speaker 2: Now we're turning the corner. Now the games really matter, 263 00:11:30,004 --> 00:11:31,924 Speaker 2: and I love this time of year because there are 264 00:11:31,964 --> 00:11:36,204 Speaker 2: good quarterbacks, maybe even great quarterbacks, But are there quarterbacks 265 00:11:36,244 --> 00:11:38,524 Speaker 2: you can trust? It's very different from being a good 266 00:11:38,524 --> 00:11:40,964 Speaker 2: player and putting up stats and fantasy and Player of 267 00:11:41,004 --> 00:11:43,164 Speaker 2: the Week and all that versus the guys you know 268 00:11:43,404 --> 00:11:45,204 Speaker 2: you can depend on when it gets cold and it 269 00:11:45,204 --> 00:11:48,564 Speaker 2: gets heated. Can you trust Sam Darnold? Can you trust 270 00:11:48,604 --> 00:11:52,484 Speaker 2: Jared Goff? Can you trust Baker Mayfield? We love those guys, really, 271 00:11:52,564 --> 00:11:55,284 Speaker 2: Can you trust them? Can you trust Lamar Jackson? Did 272 00:11:55,324 --> 00:11:58,604 Speaker 2: you watch Lamar yesterday? That was pretty weird. There's guys 273 00:11:58,644 --> 00:12:01,044 Speaker 2: that are great, and then there's guys that you can 274 00:12:01,084 --> 00:12:06,244 Speaker 2: absolutely depend on, and sometimes the first category gets exposed 275 00:12:06,284 --> 00:12:09,284 Speaker 2: and they're not the second category. Wait till we see 276 00:12:09,364 --> 00:12:11,204 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones and Arrowhead next week. Wait till we see 277 00:12:11,204 --> 00:12:13,964 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes. He's not playing very well right now. It's 278 00:12:14,004 --> 00:12:15,244 Speaker 2: a crazy, crazy time. 279 00:12:24,964 --> 00:12:27,804 Speaker 1: Ten Takes is a production of the NFL in partnership 280 00:12:27,804 --> 00:12:32,964 Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
